Location: Hydrology and Remote Sensing Laboratory
Project Number: 8042-13610-028-12-M
Project Type: Memorandum of Understanding
Start Date: May 27, 2010
End Date: Apr 30, 2014
Specific goals of this agreement includes the development of tools for forested wetland monitoring and mapping that support ongoing forest inventory assessments within the FS. To improve assessment of wetland conservation practices on agricultural and other managed lands (e.g., NRCS implemented conservation practices) and provide accomplishment metrics, such as wetland acres restored and ecosystem service provision. To enable targeting of critical areas in landscapes for reducing non-point source pollutants originating from cropped, urban, and managed forest lands. To provide improved information on wetland location and function in order to develop and parameterize models of wetland functions and services within landscapes. To create enhanced maps of wetlands and establish robust metrics for wetland-stream connectivity to enhance conservation of wetland and stream ecosystems and the plant and animal species supported by them. To create a baseline wetland hydroperiod map in order to monitor hydrologic and functional changes resulting from climate and land use change. Leverage strong, relevant expertise that USDA currently has at the ARS Beltsville Agricultural Research Center and the FS Northern Research Station to enhance research on monitoring and characterizing wetlands in mixed cropland and forest landscapes using remote sensing approaches.
The location of a Forest Service scientist at the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center will foster and strengthen collaborative research designed to assess the interaction of cropland and forest land within the Mid Atlantic region.

Water is an economically scarce, environmentally sensitive resource. Limited options for new water sources, increasing regulations on quality, and significant growth in demand are challenges faced by those who plan the future needs of our cities.
Accurately forecasting future water demand is critical to economies, communities, and ecosystems, especially where available water must be allocated among competing uses. How customers are using water has a great influence over how much will be needed in the future. Communities must consider numerous factors that affect water use, including economic development, weather variability, shifting urban and agricultural needs, residential growth patterns, and improvements in water-use efficiency. Identifying and measuring trends can help managers make better decisions by anticipating capital investment needs and allocating resources better—thereby maximizing long-term value and reliability of resources.
Traditional forecasting of water needs remains simplistic—typically tying future needs exclusively to population growth. Relying only on population provides limited data to planners and fails to capture the underlying factors driving per capita water use. The shifting industrial landscapes of communities, changing residential growth patterns, and improvements in water use efficiency result in changes in per capita water use, while traditional forecasts assume a constant rate of use over time.
Thus, two communities may have similar per capita totals, but based on demographic trends, area-specific industries, residential concentration, and numerous other determinants, the amount of water they each will need in the future may differ. Traditional population-based approaches cannot factor in these underlying influences and therefore don't lead to an understanding of how water use has changed and will change in the future.
More Sophisticated Forecasting
Advanced methods of water demand forecasting recognize that changes in demand stem from many factors. Estimates of future demand can be developed that take into account the shifting conditions of the future, whether they are socioeconomic trends, climatic influences and seasonal variations, changing water and sewer rates, or increasing water-use efficiency.
Factors that affect the average rate of water use can be projected and used by planners to develop alternative scenarios and to assess the sensitivity of future water demand to changing conditions. By considering the variation in each of these influencing factors, planners can develop probabilistic water demand forecasts that can be used in risk-based demand simulations. More comprehensive, meaningful water demand forecasts lead to more accurate, reliable, and cost-effective decisions by planners.
Critical issues are confronting urban water systems that are faced with population and economic development pressures. Many Americans are moving to and doing business in areas that have environmental, financial, or political barriers for water supply augmentation— such as booming communities in the southern and southwestern United States. Other geographical regions not customarily viewed as water-scarce face large potential investments to rehabilitate and expand aging systems to serve future demands for water.
Several communities across the country have embraced the power of a more sophisticated approach to water demand forecasting as a means for better planning. The city of San Diego, which imports the majority of its water, has developed a progressive water demand forecasting program to anticipate the capacity and construction needs of future water supply projects that fit its unique circumstances.
Sustaining Growth
San Diego is a large, semi-arid city that serves more than 1.2 million people across more than 130 square miles of developed land. It imports 90% of its potable water (about 200 mgd), which is transported to the city from the Colorado River and from northern in-state sources. Unlike typical water providers, San Diego acts as an agency that charges its customers for water at the retail level, which can be affected by the prices it pays for imported supplies and the amount of water it may need to purchase.
San Diego began using advanced water demand forecasting in the 1980s, when Planning and Management Consultants Ltd. (now part of Camp, Dresser & McKee Inc.) developed a unique set of water demand models for the city service area. Since then, water demand models have been estimated for the San Diego County Water Authority that apply to the city of San Diego service area. These models are updated as new water use and demographic information becomes available.
Recently, changing residential growth patterns and a large capital improvement program have introduced intricacies to the city's water management processes. As a member of the California Urban Water Conservation Council (CUWCC), which monitors water use efficiency and provides conservation guidance throughout California, the city provides periodic updates of its future water conservation savings. San Diego also updates its future water demands in its urban water management plan for the California Department of Water Resources every five years. To comply with these reporting requirements and to meet its own internal planning needs, the city's water demand is updated as new models and model inputs become available.
In conjunction with the San Diego County Water Authority—the wholesale, regional group that provides water for the city—the city developed a 30-year water demand forecast with appropriate inputs calibrated for the makeup of the city. Forecasts were estimated for the single-family, multifamily, nonresidential, and wholesale sectors for 35 major pressure zones within the city, organized geographically. The water use models developed for each sector included model variables that account for typical monthly variation in use, climatic deviations from average monthly weather conditions, socioeconomic characteristics, and the price of water and sewer service.
Average rates of water use per household varied significantly among pressure zones as characteristics such as housing density, median household income, and persons per household varied throughout the designated sectors. Each pressure zone had a unique mingling of single-family and multifamily housing and different projections of the growth rates for these two residential sectors. Average nonresidential water use varied among major zones as the combination of retail, wholesale, industrial, and government employment varied from one pressure zone to another. As with the housing projections for the residential sectors, projections of future employment by the major employment groups varied among the pressure zones. Thus, the water demands of each sector reflect distinct patterns of water use and varying demographic trends among its users.
Considering all determinants, the city estimated water demand for each major zone based on projections of housing, housing density, persons per household, income, employment, price of water and sewer service, and climatic factors over several decades. These demand forecasts provide San Diego with full use of regional planning data, greater understanding of spatial trends as they relate to the community's growth, and future needs in dry/hot demand scenarios. Better equipped, the city can make assumptions about economic growth, water pricing, and other major factors influencing usage rates and use these forecasts when determining the cost of water supply options, facility sizes, and estimated annual costs of imported water purchases.
Currently, long-range estimates of water demand are being used by the San Diego Water Department to develop various reports (such as its strategic water supply plan, its urban water management plan, and its raw and treated water plan), and to plan for future improvements and optimization of the water distribution system.
Formula For the Future
Water demand forecasting provides key inputs for potentially risky decisions concerning large capital investments. If done properly, a forecast of water demand reveals the effects of those factors that cause demand to change over time. The additional information afforded by more advanced approaches can help define better alternatives for meeting future needs and highlight important trade-offs among strategies for ensuring water supply reliability. Traditional forecasting may be insufficient for pinpointing the timing and scale of system expansion and for justifying those needs to customers and governing bodies.
Decision-makers know that uncertainty drives the need to plan for the future. Although San Diego's circumstances are unique, other communities and water providers who experience pressures from rapid growth and potentially large capital investments can benefit from this methodology. By understanding and incorporating the many factors that influence water demand, a good water demand forecast translates uncertainty into information that can help communities make smart and informed choices to ensure reliable water supplies.

ROFL, the 3rd one is classic.
Because of unexpectedly large crowds visiting the new Hong Kong Disneyland in January, park officials limited admissions for the first eight days, provoking some mothers who had traveled from all over China to show their frustration by trying to climb in, after first tossing their children, including toddlers, over the fence.

Elizabeth Bragg, 23, was convicted in January in Huntington, Ind., when her 4-year-old stepdaughter suffered a car injury. According to the prosecutor, Bragg, intending to punish the girl for misbehaving, told her other kids to "hang on" but then unfastened the belt in the misbehaving girl's car seat, and slammed on the brakes several times, causing the girl to bang her head.

Whoever tried to burglarize the Cell Comm/Nextel store in Victorville, Calif., in March escaped after bungling the job. The store owner told the local Daily Press that the would-be burglar tried to shoot open the door's lock but that the bullet ricocheted and hit him in the chest, knocking him down. The bullet likely did not break the skin but was probably startling and painful, in that the man vomited at the scene before he fled. [Victorville Daily Press, 3-23-06]

text: I am looking into doing a part time CELTA course in London, and most of the courses I can only find through Cactus Tefl - apart from Saxon Court, who have their own online application. I don't know if going through this third party is just how the application process works, or if I should try to contact the colleges directly. The problem is that there is not enough specific information about the colleges on the Cactus Tefl website to enable me to find their direct contact details online. I read the terms and conditions on the Cactus Tefl, and obviously they need to cover themselves just in case, but there seems to be a lot of emphasis on it not being their responsibility if colleges or courses turn out not to be as described, which I find slightly concerning. If anyone can shed some light on all this I would really appreciate it.

I'm sure many of you have seen the listing on ebay for "Star Wars replica Boba Fett armor." for about $50 and wondered for that price what it was like. I wondered the same thing, so I ordered a set.
The armor consists of the collar, shoulder, chest, cod, knee, and at the last minute the maker through in the backplate. It's made from aluminum roof flashing and he will also paint if whatever scheme you want. I chose ROTJ.
It took about 2 weeks for the armor to be completed, and arrived a few days after that via priority mail. It was packed a little too well, bubble wrap on some of the smaller pieces and LOTS of newspaper. I had some trouble finding the tiny chest diamond among all the sheets of newspaper.
It's quite a bit thinner than I expected, but the paint job is pretty good for such a low price. Most of the battle damage seems to be the actual aluminum underneath the paint and not painted on. There is even a painted on chest display which looks very real. One disappointing part was the back plate, as you'll see in the photos, doesn't really look that good at all. It looks like you have four different ways to put it on. The knees are an ok shape even including knee darts which look fine as long as you don't look too closely.
All in all I'd say it's an excellent starter set for a beginning fett costume builder, and for the price you can't really go wrong. Now, on to the photos! http://community.webshots.com/user/pniesz

A classic of WW-II and the Winter War. I wonder if optics can be readily mounted ??
A classic of WW-II and the Winter War. I wonder if optics can be readily mounted ??
The part that really caught my eye was the unmodified feed lip. I could understand how it could be kept if it was a new made bolt, but it sure looks like the bolt is an original which would be contrary to the approval letters out there for the suomi.
Of course its not my problem but I tend to think that TNW submitted their own sample to the ATF for approval and was approved based on that design. Not the most consistent Gov't agency on the planet. I'm sure one examiner approves all kinds of stuff that another kicks back. We only see the kicked back letters.
How's yours run? Lots of people having to send theirs back for service. TNW is stepping up and getting them fixed for them. Seem to be hit or miss at this point. Some run great while others don't??
Ive got a later one in the 400 range and Ive put 400 rounds through it without a hiccup so they might have the problems taken care of. The whole thing is pretty simple and if there is a problem I don't think that there will be a huge issue fixing it without involving the original builder. having said that I am going to be going to a hammer fired setup. The trigger pull is far in excess of what I am comfortable with.
It's a striker fired design with the lower feed lip intact? I can't believe they got that approved.
this might help with the feed lip -v- feed lip's and the open boldt from the ATF. letter #2 will give the green light to leave the feed lip not lip"s. this goes back to the sten boldt with feed lips IMHO. muttman
The lower feed lip on the bolt face of fixed firing pin open bolt subguns is there to keep the round in front of the firing pin during the feed cycle. Removing it is normally required on a semi, if it was intact all you would need to do is jam the firing pin in a forward position and the gun would empty itself when the bolt is dropped on a full mag. If it is removed and you jam the pin forward, the back of the case slides up the smooth boltface and jams against the underside of the pin, preventing feeding.
Being striker fired, all one has to do is disable the disconnector or remove the sear and now you essentially have an open bolt subgun. The "Closed bolt" version of the full auto UZI uses a similar setup, the semi auto striker system is used with a modified FA bolt. The bolt slams forward, feeding the first round and leaving the striker cocked. Pulling the trigger drops the striker, but on subsequent FA shots the striker simply travels forward with the bolt acting like the fixed firing pin of the open bolt version. When the trigger is released the striker is again held rearward and the bolt feeds the next round.
Its enough to make your hair hurt isn't it? There is a letter on weaponeer that "suggests" that the feed lip be removed on a suomi bolt. Here is another one that states its ok. I have a kahr thompson that has a ring that extends on the bolt face. The firing pin extends about 3/8"-1/2" past the bolt face so if it were to follow the bolt home it would jam. Greg Clark spoke up on another board about this tnw conversion and basically what I got out of it was that its not a feed lip as much as it is a ring since its not broken by the mag cuts like on a sten or pps43, and the conversion is looked at as a whole. It will make for a much more reliable bolt with less tweeking to get it to work. Kuddos to TNW.

Looks good.. Nice work
got my car back from NGP today. Had them do my timing chains, cams, and clutch. Would have love to do it myself but didn't have the time to do it before H2Oi . Never made it to paint but i guess that will just have to wait until after the show. See everyone at H2Oi
the rims
Nice pics man
University of Mary Washington| My Flickr | My OEM+ Build Thread
So the search for a daily is finally over. Picked up a MKIII Jetta 2.0L this week Oh yea and the MKIV is in winter mode
Can you get a good pic of your car. I love it
sorry to see about the deer, love your car dude
Damn love it!!!
Went down to the body shop to pick up the coilovers i had left in my trunk and snapped a quick picture
waiting on a few more parts to come in
i hate to tell you this but... your doing it right. keep up the good work
Any updates on this? Car is comign along greatly man
Buy my stuff!
wow didn't know anyone still kept up with this thread. Ive done a few small changes here and there. I guess I haven't updated this thread because I want to finish the car before posting any pics. I don't have any recent pics so ill just leave you with these
GLI Calipers w/ Adam Rotors
Frame notch
Reupholster headliners & pillars
C2Motorsport ECU
a new look for my wheels
last pic i took of the car back in january
Haven't really updated this thread for a while so heres what ive been up to
new seats
passat aluminum ring gauge cluster and face mod
picked up a set of GLI calipers. Still haven't finished painting all of them yet. And why not a new set of Adams Rotors
and a recent pic i took with my new DSLR
more to come
So it has been a while since i updated this thread. And I have gotten enough done to post for a decent update. I got back from vacation a week before H2Oi with my headliner and pillars stripped and no fabric. Wheels still needed tires put on and balanced. With the help of a couple friends I managed to get the wheels some rubber, with no air leaks (first time rebuilding multi-piece wheels)the headliner was done the night before we headed out to OC. I have to say im pretty happy with the how came it out.

Rebecca Miles and her family grew up harvesting their own food in North Central Idaho. They weren't back-to-the-landers or urban DIYers. They were members of the Nez Perce tribe, where self-reliance and stewardship have been passed down for generations.
Fishing was a huge part of that self-reliance. Her family paid tremendous respect to the salmon and steelhead they caught in the local Snake and Salmon Rivers. Miles's grandmother would scold her if she accidentally cut into the meat when cleaning her family's catch. "We took pride looking at them and were grateful to the Creator."
Tradition was only part of the reason. Times had changed since her ancestors fished the Snake River. Salmon numbers had dropped from as many as 16 million at the time of European settlement, to around one million in the 1980s. Massive federal irrigation projects on the upper Snake dramatically altered the river's flow. Then, shortly before Miles was born, the federal government constructed four dams on the lower Snake, which had a devastating effect on salmon, steelhead and on the Nez Perce people.
The 1855 treaty between the Nez Perce tribe and the United States was supposed to ensure that fish – so vital to the Nez Perce people's sustenance, culture and way of life – would always be available for Rebecca and other tribe members to harvest. Yet, as fish runs diminished, non-Nez Perce often attacked the treaty rights rather than dealing with the causes of the fish declines. As a child, Rebecca witnessed this racial tension firsthand.
"I remember being scared every time my brother and father went out to fish," Miles said. "People were being harassed and arrested. The FBI was pointing rifles at people from the hills for fishing. It got really bad. Fishing was dangerous. But we had to have them or how would we make it through the winter?"
In the 1980s, the Nez Perce began to organize. They enlisted the help of biologists and lawyers to ensure that the tribe's voice was heard on salmon restoration. In 2005, at 32, Miles returned to her homeland with degrees in criminal justice and organizational leadership to join the fight. Tribal elders said her leadership, like the songs sung at the longhouse she attends, contained the wisdom and the legacy of strong Nez Perce leaders over the generations. She was elected chairman of the Nez Perce tribe, and became the first woman and youngest person ever elected.
After negotiating a complex water rights settlement in the Snake River Basin above the dams, Miles and the Nez Perce formed alliances with conservationists, coastal fishing communities and the state of Oregon to address the impacts of the dams on the lower Snake and mainstem Columbia Rivers. Together, they succeeded in overturning federal plans for dam operation that put the status quo ahead of the needs of fish. They obtained interim protections for salmon, and when the Bonneville Power Administration sought an agreement that would have silenced Miles and the Nez Perce on the need to breach the four lower Snake River dams, Miles and the Nez Perce refused.
Both biology and economics support breaching the four lower Snake River dams; Miles and the Nez Perce also support investing in the local communities that would be affected. This vision for the future drives Miles and the Nez Perce to continue the struggle for the sake of the fish, their tribe and their neighbors.

Wayne Law to welcome Tom Farer for lecture on relevance of international law in the Israel-Palestine conflict
DETROIT (Sept. 13, 2010) — The Wayne State University Law School Program for International Legal Studies and the International Law Students Association are pleased to host a lecture by Tom Farer, former dean of the Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver and former president of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights of the Organization of American States, at 12:15-1:30 p.m. on Sept. 22, 2010, in the Law School's Spencer M. Partrich Auditorium.
Farer's lecture, titled "In search of just settlement of the Israel-Palestine conflict: The relevance of international law," will discuss some of the issues now being addressed in peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians, including final borders, minority rights and more. Dean Farer will examine the international norms governing these issues and ask whether international law can contribute to a just final settlement.
"Tom Farer is one of the most respected scholars writing in international law," said Gregory Fox, Wayne Law professor and director of the Program for International Legal Studies. "We are privileged to have someone of his stature addressing these critical issues."
In addition to his roles at the University of Denver and Inter-American Commission, Professor Farer has served as president of the University of New Mexico and taught law at Columbia University, American University, Rutgers University, Tulane University and Harvard University and international relations at Cambridge University, Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School and the Johns Hopkins School for Advanced International Studies. Within the United States government, he has served as special assistant first to the general counsel of the U.S. Department of Defense and then to the assistant secretary of state for Inter-American Affairs.
Farer has published 12 books and monographs and more than 100 articles and book chapters primarily concerning issues of international and comparative law, foreign policy, human rights and international institutions. His most recent book, Confront Global Terrorism and American Neo-Conservatism: The Framework of a Liberal Grand Strategy, was published by Oxford University Press in March 2008.
The event is free and open to the public, and lunch will be provided. RSVP for this event at http://events.wayne.edu/rsvp/farerevent/. Once an RSVP is made, attendees will receive a confirmation e-mail containing links to two articles by Dean Farer.

Program for International Legal Studies
Wayne Law created the Program for International Legal Studies in recognition of the breadth of the faculty's international engagements and expertise and the fact that nearly all aspects of law now have an international component. From regulation of cross-border financial transactions to controlling pollution that recognizes no boundaries to human rights treaties that regulate how governments treat their citizens, law is now an interconnected global phenomenon.
The program coordinates all activities at Wayne Law related to international law. These activities include hosting the Speaker Series, sponsoring conferences and symposia featuring leading international scholars and practitioners, promoting research on international and comparative law topics, and providing important resources for Wayne Law students, alumni and friends interested in international law.
The program capitalizes on the Law School's world-renowned faculty members, who teach and write on a wide variety of international legal issues.

From: Forrester Analysts Tom Grant and Diego Lo Giudice
To: App dev and delivery practitioners, especially ones with Agile experience
Re: It's time for us to take another look at the value adoption, and we're inviting you to join our survey
Starting around 2009, Agile moved into the mainstream of software development methodologies with startling speed. Today, Forrester's data shows approximately 38% of developers have adopted Agile across a wide range of industries. The demand for Agile is so great that it has broken through many potential barriers, including ones such as compliance. As year-to-year growth of Agile adoption continues, it's clear that a lot of teams are seeing a lot of value in Agile. But what kind of value? In some of our earlier surveys about Agile, it was clear that velocity was only one of several perceived benefits.
For example, Scrum is far and away the most widely adopted flavor of Agile. Scrum focuses on how teams organize themselves and how they organize their work. For teams that have struggled to make accurate estimates or adapt to changes to the backlog, the attraction of Scrum isn't just velocity.

I have a TK409 Chest display. I was wondering how you guys mounted it onto the chestplate. (My chest armor is held in place by snaps.)
Yeah I have the same question. Have the same from TK409, but haven't attached it yet. I am using magnets and am not sure if I should use superglue to attach the electronics or not.
I used lot's of hot glue. It has worked very well thus far.
This year I'm using snaps and it works great. as far as mounting the LEDs, I figured since no one is gonna see it, I just made a little holster out of a couple of regular ol' playing cards.
I use snaps on my armour. It's the best thing since sliced bread!
I followed TK409's idea of mounting them on plastic and not directly to the armour. The female part is also stitched to the vest so if I decide to use a different method or upgrade at any point it is easily removeable.
As for my chest display...ELECTRICAL TAPE!! And lots of it! It's strong and durable, but it doesn't damage the board, nor is it permanent, which again means if I upgrade my armour - which I plan to do - I can easily remove the board and reinstall it on a new set.
I put 2 strips of velcro (fuzzy) on either side of the slots on the armor, then I cut out an "H" of (hook) velcro. The vertical sides of the "H" attach to the armor velcro and the horizontal bar holds the LED in place. Works great and can be removed at any time. I can post pics if you need me to.
duct tape.
yup, that's how my leds are installed. big strips of duct tape.
clear silicone
lol, nice. Nothing works better than duct tape
Well, my friend down in Tucson will now have to give me clearance to use this substance: hot glue! But yes, I would use hot glue to secure the chest display to the armor.
I'd go the hot glun method.
I'm wondering the best way to attach it too. I got my Tk409 electronics in the mail today and there isn't much of it that sits flush with the armour, except for the lights themselves. Do you just use enough hot glue to fill that 1/4 inch (or so) gap between the electronic board and the armour? Do you glue something like wood or plastic to the board and then glue that to armour?
I'd definitely be interested in seeing some pics of how people did theirs.
If anyone has pics on how they have the chest lights installed that would be great to post them
For what it's worth, I'm attaching my armor by magnets and I'm not worried about the electronics. It was discussed in this thread and nobody seemed to have any issues: http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f25/c...-method-48099/
Pieces of cardboard as spacers to get the display level with the curvature of the armour, and hot glue for fixating it all.
Duct tape! Works like a charm. I use a Fettronics display, which is a flat electronic display. Any gap between the armor and the display is not noticeable at all.
I used masking tape to rough mine in, just to see how it looks (which is super great, by the way. It really takes the costume up a notch) and if any unexpected issues might arise. I soon realized that I need to make a hole in my vest to run the battery cords through. It's not a big deal, but it wasn't something I had considered before, so I wanted to mention it.
Btw, nice to see a local boy around you planning on joining the Outer Rim Squad? I don't think they have an ESB Fett yet. I think I'll be the 2nd or 3rd ROTJ boba when I'm done.
Start a thread man. Let's see where you're at!

Hey SeaDeucer,
Did you do the replacement yet? If so, how did it go? Could you post a link to your source for Jeanneau parts? I did a quick search but couldn't find it.
|Thaks all for your help. As blt2ski advised, it does seem there may be enough room between the hull and the cockpit-to lift the shaft up, (which I will grease-what's the best?). When the shaft is up, the rudder pulls off aft. As for my cutlas bearing, I discovered Gilles in Annapolis for Jeanneau parts. My cutlass bearing arrives from France in a few days! The cost, including shipping-$65 (1/2 of the cost being the later). As to the coupler stories, and checking the shaft-i.e removing it- I have yet to decide, but it seems prudent to do it, when the bearing is new-any thoughts?
|Thanks MidL gotta love it! will copy and show it to them soon!
There is a $400 tool that attaches to the shaft and allows you to press the bearing out of the strut, then reverse the tool and press a new bearing in. [/QUOTE]
MidL do you have a pic of that tool ??? I know the 5 C-30 owners at my YC would have scows on thier faces on seeing said pic. [/QUOTE]
Denise, the tool is called a Strut Pro.
Here is their website with info.

I don't have a pic myself, but have seen an article on the C36 Owners site detailing the removal and replacement process usig this tool with detailed pictures. The C36 Association owns the tool needed to replace the cutlass bearing along with a few other specialized tools and members can borrow them just for the cost of shipping each way.
It appears the C36 site is having issues because I am being denied access to the members area of the site even though I show as logged in. I saw an e-mail from another member saying there were blocked also so the problem seems to be on their end. I'll try to remember to forward you a pic when I can get access.

I don't know how the Jeanneau is designed, but on my Catalina the cutlass bearing can be replaced without removing the propshaft. There is a $400 tool that attaches to the shaft and allows you to press the bearing out of the strut, then reverse the tool and press a new bearing in. Another C36 owner just reported having his yard to the work, charging 2 hours labor.
If you are about to set off on a long journey it may be worth the effort of preemptively replacing the shaft, but otherwise, you might want to simply replace the bearing and see if that does not adequately address the issue.
If you're saying you would like to inspect the section of the shaft covered by the strut, you should be able to separate the shaft from the transmission and slide it far enough aft to allow that. That process can be a problem and was the biggest expense when I had it done to install a dripless shaft seal on my last boat, but it certainly would seem a better option than moving the engine.
This may help.
This posts looked worth saving.... Sorry if the pixs didn't come up but you can probably find it via search.
About every one to two years, hauling out at the local boat yard is necessary to keep my boat bottom in good shape. With the help of some boating friends, and the promise of some beer and lunch, we usually do all the work ourselves. I find the planning is fun, and the work gives me a terrific feeling of accomplishment and pleasure.
This was one of those times, in spite of how well you plan things out, everything that could go wrong did go wrong.
My plan was to paint the bottom and boot stripe, add a new depth finder, and remove the propeller shaft for the replacement of the cutlass bearing. For those who like to work with their hands, these tasks are not difficult ones.
With most sailboats you must remove the rudder before removing the propeller shaft. If you have tiller steering, the rudder is held fast with a bolt at the top of the rudder post where the tiller is connected. Additional bolts will have to be removed if you have wheel, stirring; these bolts are usually located in the stern where the steering arm assembly attaches to the rudder post. If youre by yourself, place some blocks under the rudder or have a friend hold the rudder before removing the bolt. The rudder is usually not heavy, so one person can lift it. Once its removed, you can inspect the post and rudder for cracks or damage. Also, its easier to paint the rudder when its out of the boat you can get to those hard to get at places on the rudder and the boat.
Now for the removal of the propeller shaft. The sequence is simple.
First remove the propeller (make sure the threads are cleaned with a wire brush before removing the propeller nut). Loosen the packing gland nut until it is completely off its threads. Loosen the set screw on the shaft coupler which is attached to the rear of the transmission (see figure 1). Some shaft couplers have two set screws, mine had one holding the shaft in place. I am now ready to remove the shaft. Most boatyards have a tool called a jack hammer shaft removal tool (see figure 2). Just remember this spot in the story, because this is where I should have gotten expert advice. The shaft removal tool attaches to the propeller shaft threads. The tool is a long shaft with a sliding donut-shaped weight. The idea is to slide the weight down the shaft to the end. The weight stops abruptly, thus forcing the propeller shaft out of the coupler. But if your shaft has not been removed in several years and is stuck to the coupler because of rust, the tool becomes lethal. And if you have a 200 pound friend behind it, you will realize your worst nightmares.
After a half an hour of trying to pound the shaft out, my strength gave out. This is when my big friend gave his all to the removal cause. Bang, bang, bang, slid the weight down the shaft. Suddenly the shaft moved. Again he banged and the shaft moved more. Finally we were getting somewhere.
With the excitement of the shaft moving, we both got renewed strength. One more time should do it. With a mighty bang of the sliding hammer the shaft moved a foot or more, but what was that sound hitting the bottom of the boat? Ah its probably the packing gland nut falling off the end of the shaft. No, it sounded larger than that, I said to my friend. I hurried up the ladder to the cockpit, down the hatchway and into the engine compartment. The nightmare begins. My transmission was no longer connected to the engine. The transmission housing was broken, the transmission gear shaft was pulled completely out of the transmission and to make matters worse, the coupler, still attached to the shaft, was wedged between the subfloor and the bottom of the boat. Panic set in. Because it was on a weekend, there was no one with any experience at the yard to ask for advice, except for some other do-it-yourself boat owners. I got all kinds of suggestions. The one I went with was to cut the shaft. With a feeling of total defeat I pulled the shaft effortlessly from the boat. This nightmare cost me extra lay days in the yard, a new propeller shaft, new coupler, rebuilt transmission, and a dent in my ego.
Remember when I said remember this spot in the story? Well here is some advice from some experts I talked to. Before using the shaft removal tool, the shaft coupler should be removed from the transmission. Apply penetrating oil to the front and back side of the coupler. Also apply oil to the key way. Inspect for excess amounts of corrosion and rust. Tap with a hammer to try to loosen the rust between the coupler and the shaft. Add more penetrating oil, making sure you allow enough time for the oil to penetrate deep into the coupler. Connect the coupler back on the transmission and use the removal tool.
Remember the removal tool should only be used with light to moderate action. If this does not work, remove the coupler again and attach a wheel puller (see figure 3) to the rear of the coupler, this will force the shaft out of the coupler. If you are not successful with any of the above operations, the coupler should be cut for removal. The reason to cut the coupler instead of the shaft is purely economical. For my size boat, a 1" x 57" shaft costs $269, versus a coupler for $50.
The coupler is usually made of casts iron and can be removed easily by drilling several holes in line with the key way (see figure 4). Once this is done, use a hammer and chisel to split open the coupler. Be careful not to damage the shaft. Replace the new coupler on the shaft. Dont forget to use seizing wire on the set screw after tightening it, then put a generous amount of silicone on the rear and front where the coupler and shaft meet. This will help stop moisture from getting between the coupler and the shaft, which causes corrosion and rust. This will make it much easier for future removals and a satisfying day at the boat yard.

|if you have your boat haul out, its easy for the yard to drop the rudder to fix the cutlass. while the rudder is out, clean & grease the rudder tube and shaft.

NOTEBOOK: Green Bay to Take Foreign Tour to the Bahamas
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay men's basketball team will be heading to the Bahamas later this month for a foreign tour, playing four games in Nassau from Aug. 26-29, head coach Brian Wardle announced Wednesday afternoon. Per NCAA rules, a program can participate in a foreign tour during the summer once every four seasons and is allowed 10 days of practice prior to departure.
Wardle and the Phoenix will conduct two of the 10 practices this week and plan to spread the practices out before departing for the Bahamas on Sunday, Aug. 25. After arriving in the Bahamas, the Phoenix will play its first game on Monday, Aug. 26 at 7 p.m. against the Bahamas All-Stars. Green Bay will also play games on Aug. 27, 28 and 29 before returning home on Friday, Aug. 30.
"We are extremely excited and thankful for this opportunity to play four games in the Bahamas," said Wardle. "This tour not only gives us a chance to get on the court and prepare for the upcoming season, but more importantly will provide our staff and players a chance to experience another culture while continuing to develop team chemistry and integrating our newcomers into the program."
Green Bay last participated in a foreign trip prior to the 2006-07 season under former head coach Tod Kowalczyk, playing four games in Spain. Wardle was an assistant coach during that season but missed the trip to Spain due to the birth of his first child, Mya.
While the full 2013-14 men's basketball schedule has not yet been released, remember to mark your calendars for two premier non-conference home games. The Phoenix will host Wisconsin on Saturday, Nov. 16 at the Resch Center. The Badgers last visited Green Bay on Dec. 9, 2009, with the Phoenix pulling out an 88-84 overtime victory in front of 9,759 fans.
Green Bay's all-time leading scorer and current Virginia head coach Tony Bennett will return to Green Bay on Saturday, Dec. 7 when the Cavaliers visit the Resch Center. Bennett, who scored 2,285 points for the Phoenix from 1988-92, is entering his fifth season at the helm at Virginia.
Wardle also announced the hiring of Rick Karius as the program's volunteer video coordinator. A 2009 graduate of UW-La Crosse, Karius joins the staff after serving as an assistant coach at his alma mater for the past two seasons. He also spent the 2010-11 season as an assistant coach at UW-Superior and the 2009-10 season at Southwest Minnesota State.
"I'm extremely excited to join the Green Bay men's basketball program and have the opportunity to work with Coach Wardle and his staff on continuing their recent success. This is an exciting time to be a part of the program."
A native of Chilton, Wis., Karius was a four-year letterwinner at UW-La Crosse and served as a team captain. He was named to the WIAC Scholastic Honor Roll and All-Sportsmanship Team.
"Rick will be a great addition to our staff," said Wardle. "He has a reputation as a very hard worker and is passionate about the game. In his new role, he will be able to provide assistance in a variety of areas, including film exchange, player development and scouting."

Some ware on the web there is a manule (pdf) from FN. If I can find it on my hardrive. Ill post it.next look over at the falfiles. Muttman
O.K., I'm "IN"! I have my FAL paid for and on the way. Now, I would certainly appreciate a little help. What books, litterature, manuals, etc. will give me a start on the basic information concerning FAL's? There is so much information that seems to just roll off the lips of you experienced builders/shooters and I really do want to become pary of the conversation. I don't expect to get all of my answers from a couple of posts here, I just want some suggestions on what publications are worth the money to buy and read.
Some ware on the web there is a manule (pdf) from FN. If I can find it on my hardrive. Ill post it.next look over at the falfiles. Muttman
R Blake Stevens THE FAL RIFLE by Collectors Grade Publications is the FAL bible, but expensive.While I hate to refer you to another weapons site, check out the FalFiles.com. The Reference and Data section can answer just about any question you might have with pictures.
Anything specific you need to know right away, just ask...
I don't really need a definitive technical treatsie on the rifle. I would just like to know what people are talking about when they refer to an Argy kit, yeah I know it's a parts kit from an Argentine rifle, but what are the differences between it and an STG kit? It's things like that I'm interested in learning.
I know that THE FAL RIFLE is a huge book, but that is where we usually get you the info you are asking for. Well, that and the Fal Files now.
You want Argentine FAL info? Page 238-243 covers it. Selected in 1955, by '64 it was standard issue to border and Federal police, Coast Guard, Navy, Marines, and Air Force.
Argentine Production (they are licensed manufacturers since 1958) included the fixed stock (50-00) the folding stock para (50-61 and 50-63 short barrel) and the FN 50-41 squad automatic 'FAP'
Now the great thing about the Fal Files Reference and Data section, is there you can find out what receivers were used (type I and later type III), that the barrel is chrome lined, and TONS of other stuff. If you are serious about learning about the differences in FAL variants, R&D is a must!
While none of mine are completely Argentine,(though the bottom left Para is mostly Argie parts) you can see just about every major variant in my collection. There are tons of minor variations, after all 90 countries adopted the FAL. If you look at the top right, there are 2 G1's and 2 Stg58's. You can see that the major visible difference is the STG wire cutting muzzle device vs the G1's twist off flash suppressor or the early Browning long muzzle device. STG's are known as the most accurate of the FAL kits to build on, both because of their hammer forged barrels, and the fact that the kits imported were virtually new.
Here is what I have found so far, but I have only just begun looking.

I'm still a new user to this site and I have had a lot of questions while attempting to build my Boba costume. A lot of my questions get answered by me just wandering through the threads and reading all the forum post provided by the work others have contributed but this question is one that I would like to ask from the more experienced members here.
I am looking to make a Boba Costume and I know that it will take some time. I am anxious to get it completed in a couple of years. I don't want to skimp on quality but I am also wanting to keep cost down by building some items and from purchasing quality budget items and upgrading them later.
I have the helmet and it needs painting. My next purchase was going to be the flight suit. I found one on e-bay but I don't really know if there is something better cheaper. So with all that said does anyone recommend a particular flight suit or particular person that makes one of good quality at reasonable price.
I do realize that the suit is going to get a lot of abuse if I do decide to troop in it and I don't want something that splitting at the seams. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Everyone;
New to the forum, not new to NJ (lived and hunted here for 6 yrs) but I just moved to Englewood NJ (close to the GWB), there's like, absolutely nothing close-by for hunting (I used to live in Princeton) except for Sawmill Creek WMA on the Hackensack River.
I checked it out from the boat launch, right across the river from it. Its not big and its right between the east and western spurs of the NJ Turnpike (you can see the cars and trucks! They'll probably be able to see me). I only have a canoe, and its just me, by myself, with mixed black duck and mallard decoys. Has anyone hunted there or know anyone who has? Is it any good? Would it be difficult for one person in a canoe?
I also hunt at Assumpink WMA, Manasquan WMA, and Manahawkin WMA - all the places where one guy has road access and can penetrate into the marsh/swamp with some effort with a canoe.
I may also try for woodies and anythign else that flies by at Black River WMA. Anyone ever hunted there and can offer some advice?

|Wheels & Tires The place to go for answers on wheel types, tire sizes, offset, wheel patterns and more.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I have a used 2001 ford focus se, I've had trouble with this problem last year and they replaced the right upper control arm and fixed the camber. And now it's back. Left is horribly worn while the right is still a lot better than the left. But I did buy new tires last year, and I'm up to get new one's again for this trouble. I'm bringing it in some day to get it quoted and fixed. It just sucks that other mechanic places don't know what the problem is!
|EITHER one can cause trouble. If you can read tires the wear pattern differences are evident.
|Don't get it mixed. The real fix is to get rid of the tow first, the camber will not cause this issue on its own.
I thought they resolved it after Tempos, then later after Contours, but alas, no..............
We had hell stopping axle breakage on the rear of the Corvette, big buck Pepe Estrada custom built bulletproof rear center section+ 454 engine+ big drag slicks. Because of the independent suspension, extremely hard to get tire to plant dead flat through the range of suspension travel. We shelled out plenty of gears running that sucker. The rear axles were like 6 inches in diameter and we still broke 'em left and right. Later on in a different incarnation, it got a RWD Dana 60 rear axle and all the trouble pretty much went away. Car ran high 8's 1/4 mi. with a two speed Powerglide.
Nice drag car but when I stop to think of what we butchered up for a drag car, a 1970 454 4 speed Corvette, and what it would bring today......................
well, joy. I just replaced a worn wheel bearing on the rear driver side of my "new" 2006 ZXW wagon, and this one also has a negative camber tire wear issue - looks like i'll be adding the moog shim plates front and rear.....sigh. at least i caught it early before burning through a bunch of tires.
I thought they had resolved this issue after 2005 model year.....
|It's in the design of the independent rear suspension, they sag to off camber when the rubber bushings loosen up. ALL do it to different degrees, I worked on '60s-'70s Vettes that did the same.
rear camber cheapest fix worked for me
I had a 2002 focus wagon with SEVERE rear camber problem. I got ripped off by the former owner he must have put some used tires on it because there was no wear when i bought it but within 1000 km or so it was shredded on the inside edges of the 2 rear tires with steel belting sticking out - it could have easily blown on the highway and killed me! took it to the dealership and they nicely replaced my front springs for free (recall, different issue). Told me the rear camber was way off spec, like 3 deg. or so due to worn springs.
new springs $200 AND control arms were not in the budget for such an old car, The control arm bolts were pretty well seized, so this would have been a very costly fix (time &/or $$$).
So i did some research and found this solution that fixed it perfectly.
MOOG Rear Camber Adjustment Kit (Amazon $65.86)
Product ID: MOOG-K80002
"Problem Solver Alignment Shim; Allows 1/2 to 1 degree of + or - camber adjustment."
I installed these shims but cheated and used both shims to get 1.5 deg. of adjustment i think (memory bad). used threadlocker on the bolts as there was not as much thread biting, but still seemed solid.
then since i needed tires i got tires and a wheel alignment - after that i put at least 60,000 kms on it before i sold the car. all tires wore perfectly normal after that and handling seemed great.
There you have it, cheapest cheap fix for the focus rear wheel camber tire wear issue for 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 wagon.
since the car served me very well after this issue and a timing belt, i just last week upgraded to a 2006 wagon...does anyone know if the 06 can also suffer the rear camber issue? I have a lot of road noise but otherwise it seems perfect.
|Thanks for the prompt response Geezer. My car has Camber adjustment bolts. I hope to take a closer look this weekend and start ordering parts for the repair. Perhaps toe in will improve somewhat with new control arms, however, I suspect I'll have to adjust the camber regardless. Hopefully the rest of the suspension, front and back, isn't so bad so the repair shop will refuse to attempt 4 wheel alignment! :(
There's no hidden warranty. Around 2004 or 05 (can't remember exactly) Ford finally acknowledged that their rear chamber specs were too high (issued a service bulletin). Lots of Foci were delivered with negative camber numbers at the top of the spec range. Large amounts of camber combined with even moderate amounts of toe-in (even within spec numbers) in the rear end eats tires (the inside edges). Fords fix was to offer a revised upper control arm that reduced negative camber by 1 degree. The problem, or "catch" in this case, was that to get the arms your car had to be out of the rear camber spec range. Very few, if any, cars were out of the range because the spec range was very broad. For those early cars that range was +0.3 degrees to -2.3 degrees.
The real fix is to reduce rear camber to no more than -1.5 degrees and reduce the amount of allowable toe-in to no more than 0.04 inches. To reduce the camber you'll need to get a camber correction devise (such as camber bolts or adjustable upper control arms) as camber is not adjustable in stock form. The bolts work fine and cost the least. Naturally if your control arm bushings are shot, you'll need to replace them. Toe is adjusted by the bolts that attach the inward ends of the lower control arms.
I just joined the forum as I was gathering info on Focus camber and toe in adjustments. I have a 2001 Ford Focus that I bought used, which is certainly well beyond factory warranties. I've noted a few comments in this thread related to control arm issues and wondered if there was a hidden warranty, as I've heard from my repair shop that rear control arm bushing wear was a notorious problem with the earlier model Focus and he did not recommend replacement due to my vehicle advancing age; ie., don't throw good money after bad.
The camber on my vehicle has gotten visibly worse as the control arm bushing bolts have migrated out of centre, and the right wheel is worse than the left and has markedly become toed out. I live in Canada, and can tell you that my vehicle has become unsafe to drive on icy highways due to the rear wheels competing for traction and steering the rear of the car unpredictably as one wheel gains traction over the other, and takes the rear of the car into its particular track! Also, inside tire wear has been outrageous over the past 6 months. Unfortunately, finances are such that I need to make this car last until the fall, and am looking to replace the contol arms myself and see if I can get it realligned. If there are hidden warranties of the control arms that I'd need to fight for, I'd appreciate any links or info that can be recommended.
I'd also like to know if anyone is aware of how to adjust the toe so I can at least make the car more drivable until these repairs are done. We are a one car family and I need a car for work, so can't do such ambitious repairs until I have some time off later this spring.

text: hi everyone, I have a question that may be stupid but i just don't know. I have a 92 K1500 extended cab shortbed with the stock 92 grill on it. I wanted to update the grill to the 94-98 style and I was wondering if it was a direct swap, I know I have to change the four corner lights on the sides of the grill but do I have to swap the little filler pieces between the grill and the bumper? or will they just clip onto the newer style grill? thanks in advance.

Millions don't have their blood pressure under control
Despite the well-known perils of high blood pressure, more than half of the 67 million American adults who have the condition don't have it under control, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says in a new report out today.
"High blood pressure is public health enemy No. 2," behind tobacco, says CDC director Thomas Frieden. "There is nothing that will save more lives than getting blood pressure under control," he says.
"An elevated blood pressure reading is a life-threatening reading and prompt action of some sort needs to be taken."
High blood pressure is defined as a reading greater than or equal to 140/90.
High blood pressure means the blood running through your arteries flows with too much force and puts pressure on your arteries, stretching them past their healthy limit and causing microscopic tears, the American Heart Association says.
The scar tissue that forms to repair those tears traps plaque and white blood cells, which can lead to blockages, blood clots and hardened, weakened arteries, the heart association says.
Hypertension is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke, the first and fourth leading causes of death in the USA. This is leading to nearly 1,000 deaths a day every day of the year, Frieden says. The direct cost of high blood pressure is almost $131 billion annually, he says.
The latest government statistics show:
•36 million people have uncontrolled high blood pressure.
•About 26 million with uncontrolled blood pressure have seen a doctor at least twice the past year.
•Nearly 22 million know they have high blood pressure, but don't have it under control.
•16 million take medicine, but still don't have their blood pressure under control.
•14 million are unaware that they have high blood pressure.
When your blood pressure is high, you are four times more likely to die of a stroke and three times more likely to die of heart disease, Frieden says. Even blood pressure that is slightly high can put you at risk.
There are several reasons why people who know they have high blood pressure don't have it under control, Frieden says. The treatment plan either isn't optimal or they are not taking their medication. They may be having trouble paying for it, he says.
Still, "medicine for high blood pressure works for nearly all patients."
By keeping your pressure down, "you are protecting your brain from a stroke and your heart from a heart attack," he says.
He says major progress could be made with pharmacists, nurse practitioners, physicians and other health care providers working together with the doctor "as the quarterback."
"With increased focus and collaboration among patients, health care providers and health care systems, we can help 10 million Americans' blood pressure come into control in the next five years," he says.
Hypertension expert Ernesto Schiffrin, a spokesman for the American Heart Association, says there is still much that can be done to improve blood pressure control and therefore reduce the personal and financial cost to families and the health care system attributable to high blood pressure.
Gina Lundberg, a cardiologist with Emory Healthcare in Atlanta, says people tend to check their blood pressure when they are under less stress and they don't check it when they are stressed out, and that's when it's higher. "So many people don't believe their blood pressure is as high as it is."
To help get their blood pressure under control, patients need to manage their stress, not smoke, maintain a healthy weight, exercise routinely and eat a low-sodium diet, similar to the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet, she says. Research shows that people can lower their blood pressure by following this low-sodium, high-fiber eating plan, Lundberg says.
It emphasizes fruits, vegetables and fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products and includes whole-grain products, fish, poultry and nuts. It is very low in sweets, added sugars and sugar-containing beverages.
"I tell my patients that salt doesn't just come out of the salt shaker. If food comes in a box, a bag or a can, it may be full of sodium," she says.
And patients need to be sure to take their medication, Lundberg says. "A lot of patients skip their medications occasionally because they forget or get busy. Or they may think the medications have side effects and don't take them for that reason. Or they may not think they can afford them."
But it's critical to take the medications as prescribed, she says.

Zion Mennonite Church (General Conference Mennonite), now extinct, located in Manns Choice, Bedford County, Pennsylvania, was begun in 1915 in an abandoned church by Herman Snyder, who served this group together with Napier, four miles (6.4 km.) away, until his death in 1917. The highest membership was 49 in 1926. In 1935 the Eastern District Mission Committee, which had supported the work, closed the church.
