there are a few ways to deal with that. Depending on the finish that is on it now you can go a few ways at home with stuff like the Brownells or Duracoat things. A professional job is just that though. Done professionally.
I've not seen many of the spray on/bake on jobs. I have seen a few Duracoat weapons and liked what they come out like.

Nexus 4 launch is a failure for Google Play

Fair warning: we tried to purchase a Nexus 4 from the Google Play Store when it went on sale today in the US, and were unable to purchase one, so there is a fair chance that this article will be a touch angry. That said, the Nexus 4 launch today was a complete failure for the Google Play Store...

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Here ya go (actually looks right from here if the cam was turned CW a bit more):
With both the crank and cam gear in the 12 o'clock position the number 1 cylinder is ready to fire the power stroke and number 6 is ending its exhaust stroke.
With the crank gear at the 12 o'clock position and the cam gear at 6 o'clock the pip marks face each other making them easy to line up, however, number 6 is now ready to fire the power stroke and number 1 is ending its exhaust stroke.
To make my life simpler I always bring the number one cylinder and the distributor to number 1 firing before removing the distributor. For installation of the timing set I always pull the crank around to the pip mark facing the 12 o'clock position with the cam gear and chain installed with the pip mark in the 6 o'clock position, this makes it easy to see that you've got alignmnet between the gears. Once everything the gear alignment is verified and all the bolts are run in to hold the gear, I rotate the engine 360 degrees which brings the assembly back ready to fire number one with crank and cam gear in the 12 o'clock position so the distributor can be reinstalled exactly where it came from.
A little hint here, the distributor gear does a 1 tooth rotation toward the retarded position as the distributor is removed. This usually takes the oil pump drive with it. When you put the distributor back in if it just drops in place it's probably a tooth off so when you remove the distributor take a long screw driver or an oil pump assembly pressurization tool (essentially a distributor without a gear) and give the oil pump drive shaft a litte advancing twist (clockwise rotation). That way when you align the distributor to your removal datum point and the rotor to the number one firing position on the distributor housing it ends up right where it fires number 1 on TDC.
The datum marks are to align the housing with a easily identifiable object that aligns it's orientaion to the rest of the engine. While in that position you also mark the housing with where the rotor is when it's ready to fire number 1. Normal installtions usually have some fudge space so if your off a tooth you can rotate the distributor to regain the number 1 alignment with rotor and cap. But with space constrained installtions like a V8 planted into an S10/15 or Vega/Monza there often isn't any space to align the distributor other than how it was so it's important to mark off repeatable locations for alignment of the distributor on these type things.
|GMC boogie
It appears by the photo that you just need to turn the crank clockwise a tooth for the marks to line up, does not look a tooth off.
When both marks are together, you are at the #6 firing position. When both marks are at 12 o'clock, you are at #1 firing position.
It is best to align marks together for a good visual, then turn crank 360º to be at #1 firing position and drop distributor in with rotor pointing at #1.
You can leave marks together, just be sure to drop distributor in with rotor pointing at #6
Do what the cam manufacturer tells you don't follow the herd!
#1 piston at TDC and dots together! cant go wrong here now the reason they put them at 12 is for a fast fire up but its going to move when you spin the engine to set your valve train. So just line up the dots and leave it at that. plus its easier to use a strait edge this way to check to make sure they are inline with the crank and cam
|It can be done either way. The cam is 1/2 speed of engine. So the timing marks can be together or both up. Both up leaves engine at TDC and both together is 180 out. Just turn engine one revolution and timing marks are both up.
350 timing marks when replacing chain and gear
I know this has been covered, but it seems people have two different opinions.
Should the marks on the cam gear and crank face each other, or both be at 12 oclock? Summit says facing each other, other people say both at 12.
Back story.....
350 in a 85 Cutlass, from a 79 G20 van, bought car for my son, never ran quite right.
tried tuning it up, replaced points(don't know why they didn't leave the 85 HEI in), cap, rotor, plugs, wires etc, tried timing it. I kinda had to guess since the genius left the timing tab off when he put a chrome timing cover on it.
The vacuum advance hit the manifold, so I suspected the distributor a tooth off, so I pulled the dist and moved it a tooth, still wouldn't time, tried moving the plug wires over one place, still wouldn't time.
Finally got pissed, took the distributor out, took the valve cover off, took the plug out and put it on TDC, marked the timing cover, and the balancer and put the distributor back in, started it and tried timing it with a light and a vacuum guage. Still didn't run right.
So I figured, who knows what the van went through in its life, maybe a flat cam, or bad dist or timing chain jumped.
So I bought all new timing set, cam, lifters and HEI distributor.
Took the engine out and tore it apart and found what looks like the cam is a tooth off, the chain seems tight, so evidentally the timing chain may have been replaced before, PICS Below
So before I tore it apart, I thought I would clarify what position the marks should be. Right now they are facing each other (1tooth off) and I believe its on TDC on NO 1.
I rotated it in the firing order and watched 2, 1, 8 move, then went back to where the push rods on No 1 were both rotatable. NO IDEA WHY THE IMAGE OF THE MARKS WONT POST

This is probably one of the most beautiful love stories I've ever seen in a Japanese manga.
In short, it started out as a one-shot set in an elementary school. One day, a deaf girl joins the class, and of course is bullied. Later on, it became a series and the story begins during High School.
I don't want to give away anymore than that, but it's pretty heart warming.

VXi Corporation has been delivering best-in-class headset solutions to enable clear, consistent and reliable voice communications.
VXi is known around the world for delivering value, excellence and innovation to contact centers, offices, speech recognition users and mobile professionals. Our headsets are designed for comfort and durability in the work place and meet the highest global standards for reliability, durability and overall product quality. Headquartered in Dover, New Hampshire, we pride ourselves in delivering superior customer service and back our products with the industry's best and longest warranties.
Passport Telephone Headsets Professional grade headset solutions with easy interchangeability with Plantronics® or GN Netcom® headsets. Passport P headsets feature a Plantronics compatible quick disconnect and the Passport G headset feature a GN Netcom compatible quick disconnect for connection to Plantronics and GN Netcom amplifiers and direct connect cords respectively.

Call Center Solutions VXI's Professional Grade Call Center solutions feature high quality noise canceling microphones for amazing sounding calls. Every headset is designed with 24/7 comfort and durability in mind. In addition to our VXI quick disconnect, Passport telephone headsets are available with Plantronics compatibile (P Series) and GN Netcom compatibile (G Series) quick disconnects.
Service, Value & Choice
With an expanded global marketplace and increased competition worldwide, VXI Corporation understands that customers are most likely to choose a solutions provider who offers the best mix of service, choice, and value.
VXI understands that professional headsets are used in very demanding environments. Today's 24/7 call center operations expect consistent and reliable performance from the headsets they use. Indeed, headsets themselves undergo a variety of stresses in normal daily use - twisting and turning of components, less than careful placement on tabletop surfaces, and oftentimes face far worse punishments and abuse.
We recognize that companies invest in equipment for the long term, and that they depend on headsets to last. All VXI products utilize durable, long-lasting materials that hold up to the stresses of daily use. Furthermore, and most importantly, VXI confidently provides a 2 Year Unconditional Warranty on many of its call center and VoIP products. The VXI Unconditional Warranty guarantees 100% top performance of that product for the life of the warranty. This means that for whatever reason, whether the cause was by defect, or by normal wear and tear, or even by breakage from accident, abuse, neglect, etc VXI will repair or replace any in-warranty item that fails to perform at 100% top performance. This Unconditional Warranty policy ensures that our global customers can use VXI products with the highest confidence -secure in the knowledge that VXI designs, quality, materials, and Unconditional Warranty service keep maintenance costs low and predictable. The peace of mind gained using VXI products means that companies around the globe can devote more of their energies towards fulfilling the needs of their customers.
Additionally, VXI delivers the most comprehensive array of choices for call center, business, and VoIP customers throughout the globe. VXI unveiled the Passport family of products to address customers' key requirements for professional headsets - providing adaptability and versatility never before offered by other headset manufacturers. Indeed, certain VXI Passport models are compatible with existing call center headsets from industry competitors GNNetcom and Plantronics. By producing products that are compatible to competitors' equipment, VXI expands the range of solutions available to the headset customer -which means that international customers can experience the VXI advantage in the most versatile and cost effective manner possible. Whether it's purchasing headset equipment for a new venture, or buying replacement/upgrade headsets for use in an existing call center (with perhaps a headset connection standard already in place), VXI Passport headset solutions are the perfect choice for whatever the requirement.
For over 15 years, VXI has been an innovative leader in the industry - providing the latest designs and technologies at competitive rates. Indeed, a key aspect of our product design approach is to offer upgrade component technologies as standard equipment. This contrasts with the practice of our competitors who offer premium technologies only on their premium-level headsets. As an example, all our VXI headsets come supplied with superior noise-canceling microphones - a critical technology that ensures the best quality sound and utmost security when used in busy call centers. Noise-canceling microphones found on our VXI headsets perform far better than the inferior "voice tube" designs offered by our competitors - and our VXI noise-canceling technologies are available at similar (and oftentimes better) prices than what our competitors offer for their voice-tube models. Clearly, VXI offers a real value advantage to customers around the globe - providing superior technology at unbeatable prices.
Indeed, it is clear. VXI Corporation provides the most attractive, versatile, useful, and reliable headset solutions which meet the demands of the global customer. VXI offers quality products and dependable Unconditional warranty coverage; a range of designs that perfectly integrate with existing equipment; and premium features available at attractive prices. This is the VXI advantage.

Whole Grilled Fish With Olive-Tomato Compote Recipe
Grilling may be one of my favorite ways to cook a whole fish—the intense direct heat does wonders for the skin, crisping it up while the coals below impart a delicious flavor to the fish itself. Granted, it's not quite as easy as just tossing a whole fish in the oven, but a few key steps will guarantee it comes out perfect every time.
Why this recipe works:
- Properly preparing the grill and grate by preheating, cleaning, and oiling helps ensure the fish won't stick to it.
- Allowing the fish to come to room temperature, drying it well, and oiling it is the other key to making sure it doesn't stick to the grill.
- Using a carving fork to lift the fish from the grill grate is the safest way to attempt to turn it with the least risk of the fish sticking and tearing.
- Yield:Serves 4
- Active time: 25 minutes
- Total time:1 hour
- Rated:
- For the Sauce:
- 5 ounces oil-cured olives, pitted (about 1 cup)
- 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 medium cloves garlic
- 2 whole peeled plum tomatoes from a can, minced
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh orgegano
- Freshly ground black pepper
- For the Fish:
- 4 (1-pound) whole white-fleshed fish, such as sea bass, branzino, or porgy, scaled and gutted
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Lemon slices, peeled garlic cloves, peeled ginger slices, fresh oregano sprigs, fresh parsley sprigs, for stuffing
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for rubbing and drizzling
- Minced parsley, for garnish
- Lemon wedges, for serving
- Type of fire: two-zone indirect
- Grill heat: medium-high
For the Sauce: In a food process, combine both olives, olive oil, and garlic, and process to form a coarse paste. Stir in tomatoes and oregano and season with black pepper. Set aside.
For the Fish: About 30 minutes before grilling, remove fish from refrigerator and let come to room temperature. Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and arrange the coals on one side of the charcoal grate. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate.
Thoroughly pat fish dry with paper towels. Season inside and out with salt and pepper. Stuff fish cavities with lemon, garlic, ginger, and herbs. Rub fish all over with olive oil.
Set fish over hot side of grill and cook until bottom side is browned, about 5 minutes. Using a carving fork, insert tines between grill grate and under fish. Carefully attempt to lift fish from below; if it resists, allow to cook for 1 more minute and try again. When fish lifts easily from grill, turn onto other side and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 135°F, about 5 minutes longer; if skin begins to char before fish is cooked through, transfer fish to cooler side of grill to finish cooking. Let rest 5 minutes.
Carve fish and transfer fillets to plate. Top with olive compote and parsley. Serve with lemon wedges.

Henry, first off, yes thank you being the VERY first thing he needs to do is move the door around until it fits where he KNOWS it fit. And that is at the very top, he said that is original as he had spliced the quarter below that. When he put the quarter on the original door FIT up there at the top and was level with the quarter. So if he moves the door down far enough for that to fit, it looks like the door will hit the rocker at the bottom, it is THAT far off.
But getting the door down is key to start this, being it looks like the gap is pretty large at the bottom to rocker. But once that is done, you have a repro door skin against a repro quarter at those body lines......there is no way in hell you can tell WHICH is wrong at that point. Not without making a template off the other quarter if it's original to see what is wrong, the quarter or the door. A template can be made of the door too, the good door, then turn that template around and see what you have.
This may not matter in the long haul, you fix what you need to fix to make it right. Especially with the two reproduction panels. As the great philosopher Nike said, "Just do it".
But if you want to figure out just what is wrong here you can make a template off the other quarter and door (if those are still original).
Take a piece of cardboard and hold it up to the edge of the quarter and mark a line down it showing a rough edge of what you need to cut to get the card board to fit up against the edge for a better cut later.
After cutting that rough stuff off, it looks like this.
Hold it against the edge of the quarter in the jamb and trim it until you can get the piece in there and have a very defined top and bottom. In this case at the very bottom near the rocker it is setting on the rocker and right up against the back corner. At the top it is right at the edge of the quarter where the quarter window "scraper" moulding is.
Now a perfect line can be draw up the edge of the quarter onto the cardboard.
And finally, the cardboard is cut right on that line and you have a piece that can be flipped around and used on the other side to see how close it is to the original.
The same can be done with the door, which one is correct?
|The Following User Says Thank You to MARTINSR For This Useful Post:
John long (08-06-2012)
Your wife is to be commended for her patience with the camera, and oh yeah, nice job Brian.
LOL, I am using a tripod. My wife has even more patience than that, she is at a Girl Scout camp with our daughter and 500 other Girl Scouts and has been for the past week. The will be home tomorrow and I can't wait!
Thanks for all the input so far guys. Truth be told I'm really pissed at the car right now so I'm avoiding it. I'm really upset with myself for allowing this problem to happen, but it's easier to take it out on the car
Henry is correct, and I'm quite positive it is the quarter. Here is why:
1. I reskinned the door first with the original quarter on. Looking back at some old pics, it looks as if everything was lined up.
2. I then did the quarter skin. I had the door hung. Why did I not make sure it lined up with the door better? That's all fuzzy. When I was installing the quarter I didn't see what choice I had. I pretty much had to put it down tight against the rocker, which was hard to do. I'm pretty frustrated with myself at this part for not saying 'hm, this doesn't line up to the door well.' In my head I was probably saying 'well, I just must not have the door hung well enough....I'll fix that later!'
3. I had my old body instructor over to help me trouble shoot that door right before I moved to Michigan. We got the door hung on as straight and well as a professional could but we couldn't get the body lines to line up. At that time it was just assumed the quarter was fine. He said about the only way I can see to fix this is put on another quarter skin and try to fit it to the quarter.
4. Now to two weeks ago. I KEEP THE DOOR HANGING so as not to ruin our perfect hang job, and remove the skin. I close door and still I can see the body lines on the original door shell (sans the skin) STILL don't line up to the quarter lines. Not good sign.
5. I test fit the new skin (used a Dynacorn panel and did fit remarkably better than the first door skin I used) but quickly found there really wasn't much adjustment I could do to it. It pretty much HAD to go on one way.
6. Install skin, do a much better job this time around so happy about that but still have same problem.
I think the quarter is sitting just a little high and I'm not seeing a good solution. The tragedy of the situation is I had part of that weld cut back open just not too long ago. Would have been the perfect time to take out the welds on the door jamb and rocker and try to move it down. Now I have the weld all glassed and filled over with three coats of slick sand over it.
Localized surgery: What if I were to strip everything off that weld again back say 2 ft from the door jam, and about 6-8 inches down from the weld. Undo welds on door jamb and rocker. Try to adjust it down and reweld. Or is that just stupid and impossible. I need to get some more pics of up other gaps, like quarter to rocker gap, etc.
I'm also milling around Henry's solution of cutting out the C strip. I just hate to chop up a perfectly good one piece panel...
Last edited by Lizer; 08-04-2012 at 12:20 PM.
I am confused, cut what welds and move what down? It looks like the quarter is too low then, wouldn't you want to cut the quarter welds to the rocker and lift it up? I am just talking, it's more complicated than that.
I know how you feel about your dilemma I feel the same way about my convertible top. I am way out of my comfort zone on that and I have stopped and am giving me a little sit and cool down time before I jump on it again.
before you do any of that measure the distance between the top and bottom lines of the left and right quarters and doors. If it's the quarter the distance between the uppers and lowers will be shorter on the right quarter. If you put tape right on the peak of the body line it will help the measurement be accurate enough where a clear discrepancy will jump out, that is of course if the aftermarket quarter has a bodyline that's pretty close in roundness to the original on the driver's side.
So if that's it and you still have the original quarter you can do an awesome open butt weld repair. If not, I would try to use a mini air saw due to the blade being thin so when you cut out the piece you plan on reusing you will have more metal on it. an air saw with a sawzall blade will give you more control for straighter cuts.
you can also cut out your quarter with a spot welder bit for the plugs and and carefully use a cutt off wheel for the welds at the flange up top but you probably won't be able to just loosen the front and bring it down. It would have to be the whole quarter, and you would also have to figure out why it's not going down...wheel house? Flange to rocker ? door jamb opening bend to rocker?
Sometimes the corners of the flange that tucks under just needs to be snipped cause there's not enough room in there for it, or just bend the corners. Sometimes it's the door jamb bend that goes to door gap to rocker gap. Just have to figure out why.

I have hundreds, if not almost a thousand pics of this car through its entire restoration process. I have included several here for your additional help.
The first one shows the gap of the rocker and the new quarter. It wasn't remarkably huge but I do remember having to fight it to close it.
The second picture I think it is shows the door hung with the old quarter. Works well.
The third picture is ORIGINAL DOOR AND SKIN with the new quarter on the driver's side. (These pics are old before a lot of body work and primer ever happened). That quarter was installed by a top notch shop and they did a fantastic job. The door gaps and body lines on the driver's side are perfect and they gapped it.
The fourth picture shows the skin cut out so you can visualize what I'm talking about better. See the top of the quarter never moves. Now picture the quarter getting placed in there and possibly not set down to far so the bottom 95% of the quarter near the door jamb sits too high, while the top 5% of the quarter never moved at all so it still sits properly.
I must say it's comforting to know even you guys get frustrated and in over your head on certain things. This really bothers me because I'm better than this, I have a good understanding of this stuff from some classes and following you guys religiously, and I still let it happen this way. And right now, literally the only thing that WAS standing in my way of final blocking and sealing the entire car was merely getting the door jamb and new skin epoxied and blocked.
Ok, let me get this straight, you hung the quarter splicing it leaving the upper "belt moulding" area alone. At that time you had a door with a new skin on it, and it fit and matched the lines. You put the new quarter on without messing with the door. At THAT time did the top of the door line up? It would have to being the upper section of the quarter wasn't changed and the door wasn't moved. Am I right, at that point with the first door skin and the new quarter installed the top of the door fit, matching the height of the quarter?
But didn't you also say something about putting on another skin since the quarter?
I put another skin on the door just a few weeks ago. I kept the door hanging without the skin though, and the body lines of the door frame structure still hung a little lower than the C stripe lines on the quarter.
Henry--I measured both quarter body lines and both were exactly the same right down to the 16" of an inch.
But with the old door skin how were they, why did you change the skin? What was the top, and lower body lines like on the old skin?
Have you ever considered a career with CSI by the way?

Re: Battery Sizing - am I crazy?
The "maintenance free" caps are often welded or otherwise secured down. There may be extra electrolyte, etc. to compensate a bit but the whole idea was "we can make it good enough so you never have to add water". Mainly for the crowd who find tire pressure and oil are also things too messy to do themselves.
Your local stores do carry falt-plate AGM batteries, from all the leading makers. They're almost impossible to spot even if they are on the shelf, but you can always as the clerk, or go right to the local battery distributor. Of course AGM isn't perfect either but that's a whole other debate. They'll be priced about halfway between the Optima and conentional wet lead.
Or of course you can stay with the MF battery and just make sure it needs replacement inside the warranty period. (G)

It was a clever idea in the 70's but now, I think everyone would agree that either you want a battery that can be maintained (i.e. plain wet lead) or one that in theory never actually needs topping up (AGM or gel or Lithium, truly "sealed valve regulated").
I would love some agm batteries, but the only brand I find locally in auto shops etc is optima, which are known to be great batteries but just way overpriced, $4 per amp hour more or less... if anyone knows a good brand of agms and where to get them let me know, but shipping costs generally preclude internet ordering or else I'd have two trojan 6 volts and never worry about it again lol

Maine I found this battery in Walmart for under $100, is this brand of decent quality in your opinion? It says distributed by Johnson, not really sure what that means...
Re: Battery Sizing - am I crazy?
This gives me a chance to tell a sea story. I spent a total of eight months in the Bahamas on three separate cruises. I never had more than two twelve volt Group 27 batteries - one for starting and the other for use as a house battery. My main charging source was a 50 watt solar panel. As long as I had a spare battery I knew I could start the diesel. No refrigeration of course. I relied on the local bars for cold refreshment and conversation. I was young (relatively) and foolish and had some of the best experiences of my life. Thanks. Steve S.
Re: Battery Sizing - am I crazy?
HERE is an electrical budget pdf sheet I found online at WM a bit ago. "It May" help one decide how big of a batter bank, charging system etc one needs. It does help on figure out how may amps per day/hr etc one uses, then you can figure out how big of a bank, charging system etc you will need.
Something like this will allow one to figure out if you can get away with a single size 24-31 battery as I use for my house bank. OR< if you need a bigger setup as mainsail has, showed in his last post why that client was not able to get away with a size 27, where as I am able to. BUT, if we discussed the power needs of my travel trailer I had.....I used two 6V batteries with the same foot print of a 27 12V, to get me as much or more juice as the 6V MS has, those would last me anywhere from 24 to 48 hrs depending upon how cold it was outside, with the furnace fan running. If my kids turned on the tv, they were drained in 4-6 hrs!
This link or equal links to battery usage charts, will help one decide on how big, many, style of batteries one needs. As one size does not fit all!

When I finally got called in his "new" battery was resting at 11.2V this after being "charged" two days ago by his alternator.... He was using WAY more power than he ever imagined he could on a 27 footer. His computer alone when charging and running through the small inverter was pulling 4.5 - 8A. His cabin lights he used to read by at night drew another 4A. His anchor light drew another 1A. His plotter, depth and tiller pilot another 3-4A. He also had cell phone chargers and a VHF... Did not seem like a lot but it was for the single G27 battery, and he simply could not keep up..
He spent upwards of $800.00 to be towed to a boat yard who porked him on a new battery, $180.00 for a replacement group 27..... (Sea Tow would have been a wise investment) So this lack of planning, and shooting from the hip, cost him nearly $1000.00 and in the end he still had an undersized bank.....
These types of cases are not just limited to sailors. I have power boat customers whom this happens to as well. I have one who fishes off shore who toasted his batts sixty miles out (massive Furuno system).. Lucky for him a good samaritan came along and got him started with one of their batteries. Bad for him is that neither his wife or kids are willing to do off shore fishing now. Something about 6' seas and everyone getting sea sick while the hand held VHF battery was slowly dying and not knowing if they'd be rescued....
You can still have an inexpensive bank, flooded batts fit this bill, but it does not rid one of the responsibility to size it for safety or to build a system with redundancies in it.. I love inexpensive flooded batts. Our entire bank cost us $210.00 and just ended its sixth season and will easily do a seventh and possibly 8th.. If I had the height to fit 6V's on our boat I'd easily expect I would get 10+ years.. The difference is our cheap bank was sized, installed and designed for longevity and has redundancy/safety built in.... A good design up front can be a cost saver in the long run..
Re: Battery Sizing - am I crazy?
Thanks to everyone for your info, sounds like I replace with 6v like I have already.
Boat is new to me and survey said the batteries would need replacing within year. At least I know what to look for and thanks again.
Re: Battery Sizing - am I crazy?

At the end of the day batteries, especially lead acids are actually pretty cheap compared to everything else on a boat. If for space or weight reasons you don't want to add batteries it's not unreasonable in my opinion to decide that you'll just replace them every 2 or 3 years.
Personally I expect to get plenty of life out of my batteries and put a lot of thought into my system. But with $120 of batteries compared to ~4k fixed yearly expenses plus maintenance and discretionary it's not going to matter a lot in the big picture.
but a foot or so longer......reality is, for how I use my boat, electronics on it, a single 85ahr batter worked fine! I can get upwards of 24-36 hrs of power out of it. Then again, all I am powering is house lights, running lights and some ST60+ instruments and radio. One does not need a lot of power to do this. Now if you are running GPS, chart plotter, fridge plus a few other things ON TOP of some of the basics if you will on a boat, then yes, one needs more wt in battery pack to function at a reasonable length of time.
Once you get to the a single 12V or two is too small, then as noted by some, 2 6V lead cells frankly is the best bang for the buck/wt ratio to supply your power needs. This is true from land yacht experience, along with water yacht experience.
For either application, it does no one any good to have as in the OP's case 2 150lb batteries, if he only needs a single 12V 65-100 lbs one to serve his needs. At the end of the day, one needs to decide battery sizing based on ones OWN needs, not mine, nor mainsails, nor smackies, CD's etc.

I'm starting to look at battery longevity being a better investment than anything the broker can offer. I'm almost afraid to ask where I can find annual battery price information for the past ten years because I *know* what out of pocket has been.
If you want to invest in my batteries I'm open to offers.

The average American takes between two and seven prescription drugs daily. Managing these medications properly is essential for good health.
Medications improve quality of life and save lives, but they must be taken properly to do so. It's crucial that you read all medication labels carefully and heed any drug, alcohol or food interaction warnings given.
The following guidelines from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality can help you manage your medications safely:
Tell your doctor and pharmacist about all the medications, supplements and remedies you take. Be sure to include prescription and nonprescription drugs, vitamins and herbal remedies.
Ask your doctor to review your medications. To help with the review, create a list including the name of each medicine, the doctor who prescribed it, the amount you take and the number of times you take it each day.
Be sure you know how to take each of your medications. This includes knowing how much to take; whether to take it with food or water; what to do if you forget a dose; and what foods, drinks and activities to avoid.
Know which side effects to expect and what to do about them. Many medications have known side effects that may occur, depending on your health and reaction to the drug's ingredients. Knowing which ones are normal and which require medical attention is important.
Get prescriptions filled far enough in advance to avoid running out. This is especially important if you take maintenance medications for high blood pressure or high cholesterol.
Follow any warnings regarding food or alcohol interactions with your medicines. Many medications interact with alcohol.
Purchase all your prescription medications at one pharmacy. Drug interactions are more likely to be caught if one pharmacist fills all your prescriptions.
Finally, don't take someone else's prescription medication. Just because two people have the same condition doesn't mean they can take the same medication.

Indians have ties to Mitchell Report
Indians react to Mitchell's report
CLEVELAND -- Names have been named, and the Indians saw current and former members of their organization mentioned in former Sen. George Mitchell's landmark report on performance-enhancing substances in baseball. The report, which was unveiled to the public Thursday afternoon, summarizes previously reported information on Tribe starter Paul Byrd's purchase of human-growth hormones and unveils new information about roving Minor League catching instructor Tim Laker's steroid use. Other than that, the 311-page report has no mention of any players who currently comprise the Indians' roster.
Bud Selig has vowed to follow Mitchell's suggestions for further improving MLB's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment program, and, in a statement released by the Indians, team president Paul Dolan said he supports the Commissioner's response. "Our organization has been committed to eliminating the use of performance-enhancing substances from the game of baseball," Dolan said. "We have fully supported the adoption and implementation of the Major League Baseball and Major League Baseball Players Association Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program, and will continue to educate our players of the dangers of performance-enhancing substances." General manager Mark Shapiro referred interview requests to Dolan's statement and offered no further comment. By and large, the Players Association did not cooperate with Mitchell's 21-month investigation. Tribe player representative Casey Blake, however, did not seem to take issue with the report when reached for comment. "I figured the names were going to come out sooner or later," Blake said. "It's disappointing, you know. It's tough for me to sit here and say that names shouldn't have been mentioned or the investigation shouldn't have taken place, because I'm sure the fans and the public want to know if somebody is not playing by the rules." Byrd and his agent, Bo McKinnis, did not return calls seeking comment on the report, which merely gave a rundown of a previous San Francisco Chronicle report that Byrd had bought nearly $25,000 worth of human-growth hormone and syringes from a Florida anti-aging clinic. That Chronicle report surfaced the day the Indians played Game 7 of the American League Championship Series against the Red Sox. Before that game, Byrd told reporters he took the drugs to treat a tumor on his pituitary gland. He has not spoken publicly on the matter since. It is believed that Byrd has been interviewed by MLB about his HGH use, though his case remains open.
here at MLB.com. While the report detailed drug use in baseball by naming those accused, the report also contained 19 separate recommendations for the sport to move forward from this point, proceeding after a culture of steroids and performance enhancement grew exponentially in the late 1990s. Mitchell's report named both Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association in assigning blame, charging leadership -- from the Commissioner to club owners and general managers -- for allowing the issue to proliferate.

Alright guys, I've been lurking around here for a number of years and the forced induction forum has been of great assistance with my build. Since I got my car back on the road about a year ago I've has some nagging fuel issues that I've finally traced down. E85 is plentiful here in Indiana and I'd like to take advantage of the benefits it has. Long story short I'm looking for info and advice on getting my car ready for corn juice. Current fueling set up is as follows, but is definitely subject to change:
Lugtronic ECU
630cc injectors
Stock fuel rail/lines
4 bar fpr
Walbro 255 in-tank, soon to be replaced with a stock pump and something in line
New wiring harness coming from Kevin with fuel pressure sensor
Thanks in advance for any input!

Wayne Law announces new faculty members
DETROIT (June 14, 2010) – Wayne State University Law School is pleased to announce that three outstanding individuals will join its faculty at the start of the 2010-11 academic year. They are Assistant Professor Brandon Hofmeister, Assistant Professor Justin Long and Assistant Professor Eric Zacks.
Assistant Professor Brandon Hofmeister will teach Energy Law, Civil Procedure and The Regulatory State. He most recently served as special counsel for energy and climate policy in the office of Governor Jennifer Granholm. In that capacity, he was the governor's primary adviser on energy and climate issues, and a member of her nine-person executive team. During that same period, he was a Chevening fellow (University of Edinburgh), working alongside energy policy decision-makers from countries around the world. Earlier, he was deputy legal counsel to Governor Granholm, and a law clerk to U.S. District Judge John Corbett O'Meara. He earned a J.D. from Harvard Law School and an A.B. from Harvard College.
Assistant Professor Justin Long will teach Civil Procedure and State Constitutionalism. He most recently served as visiting assistant professor of law at the University of Connecticut School of Law. Before that, he was an assistant solicitor general in the New York Office of the Attorney General, doing appellate litigation. He also has served as a law clerk for U.S. Circuit Judge Myron Bright and now-retired Associate Judge Albert Rosenblatt of the New York Court of Appeals. He earned a J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania Law School and an A.B. from Harvard College.
Assistant Professor Eric Zacks will teach Contracts, Corporate Finance and Corporations. He most recently served as a partner at Honigman, Miller, Schwartz and Cohn LLP in its corporate and securities department, with a practice focusing on complex acquisitions and divestitures, debt and equity financings, and other aspects of corporate transactional work. He earned a J.D. from Harvard Law School and a B.A. from the University of Michigan.
"I'm thrilled that Wayne Law was able to bring on board these three exciting young professors," said Professor Jonathan Weinberg, who chaired the Law School's Faculty Appointments Committee. "Each of them brings huge strengths to the Law School, and I'm looking forward to working with each of them."
Wayne Law Dean Robert M. Ackerman added, "I applaud the work of the Faculty Appointments Committee for its work in bringing on such outstanding additions to our remarkable faculty. I am pleased that our students will have the opportunity to learn the law from these individuals."

I can't wait till someone makes available a way to build these semi. I now have 3 of these $20.00 kits. I want like crazy to have a 9mm carbine.
Centerfire Systems have really gone out of their way for me here the past few weeks as every single kit I have ordered from them has been in outstanding shape. I was very impressed with my Yugo's from them. Even these Suomi's look new, for the most part.
Heres my latest Suomi kit. I don't know what good it does to have the demilled receiver but I guess its cool to have something to model the 80% blanks from.

SLE is an autoimmune disease capable of causing severe tissue damage in many organs. The cause of SLE is unknown, but recent research has identified infection-fighting proteins called interferons (or IFNs) which are made and released by host cells in response to the presence of pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, parasites or tumor cells. IFNs allow for communication between cells to trigger the protective defenses of the immune system that eradicate pathogens or tumors.
In this video, Dr. Erik Peterson from the University of Minnesota describes the basis for his new study which will look at how PTPN22 (one lupus risk gene) affects the interferon-producing capacity of lupus patients.
LFM will be speaking live with Dr. Peterson on Tuesday, April 30 at 12 p.m. Join us to learn more about this research opportunity and find out how you can get involved. Register today at: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/1804589201556293632.

Last edited by bearden6521; Apr 15, 2007 at 1:08 AM. Reason: Edited title, added "rattle can"
Here's the Rogue Studios color list. Most people just use any kind of silver, aluminum, whatever spray paint for the underlayer of the metal look you see. All the paints listed are Polly Scale or Floquil airbrush paints. Both paint brands are the same, only Polly Scale is acrylic based and Floquil is enamel based.......
Jet Pack (AOSW version)
* Light Blue
* Chrome
* Grimey black (weathering for exhausts etc.)
* Boxcar Red
* UP armor Yellow
* White
Armor (AOSW version)
* Reefer Yellow (Shoulders and knees put on heavier on knees but not much this color gets darker the more you throw down).
* ATSF Catwhisker Yellow (Shoulders and knees the trim around the scratches).
* UP Armor Yellow (Shoulders and knees to highlight darker spots).
* US Med. Green (Chest, cod, back, buttplate).
* Yellow Zinc Chromate (I could not locate in floquil so I used testors for trim around scratches)
* Black (For speckles and weathering)
* Chrome
Gauntlets (AOSW)
* Wisconson Central Maroon
* Weathered Black (weathering and highlights creates that purplish look you see)
* Chrome
* Rock Island Maroon (calc buttons)

Don't forget to use the search button also
Thanks Mr Fett!
Here ya go for a rattle can paint up
Afettfullofdollars got it going on with this system
Thanks! Could someone please post an accurate rattle can color for the armor (green) or should I go with Krylon Italian Olive(3522) like mentioned for the dome on a ROTJ helmet in that thread? I'm looking for an accurate rattle can color for ROTJ shoulders and knees as well. TK409 mentions Rustoleum sun yellow on his site BTW...
Also, I plan on painting on the yellow and silver chips on the armor and shoulder/knees. What would be the best type and colors for doing that as well?
I used Rustoleum Spruce Green for my chest armor and it turned out ok.
Ok I have a question if you paint your armor spruce green shouldnt the back of the helmet be spruce green also to match and then the olive to make the dulled paint look on the rest or am I wrong? My helment is on its way so I just wanted to check on that. Thanks!
afettfullofdollars recently got a new set of armor and will be experimenting with it to find a set of colors for the airbrush challenged, like me. be patient, i have faith that he'll have the list up by june.
No problem!
I think people sometimes don't take into account the different experience levels people have with things like painting.
There are a lot of different paint brands out there, and a lot of different methods of applying them.
For some more inexperienced painters, an airbrush has some kind of stigma attached, like it's something mystical and scary. It's true that using an airbrush is a little different than just popping the top off a spray can, but if you mess around with a simple little single action Testors or Badger airbrush (I use a single action Badger, myself) and get some practice, you'll find that it's pretty fun! The one I use was only $20.00 and I've been using it for close to 4 years.
It will certainly give you a lot more color options, instead of searching high and low for certain colors of spray paint.

Red Arrow Remembers
Remembering the Red Arrow Diner's Mabel Lamontagne
By PAUL FEELY
New Hampshire Union Leader | July 05. 2013 8:43PM
The day after turning 100, Mabel Lamontagne celebrates her birthday during a party at the Red Arrow diner in Manchester on May 19, 2007. Around 60 friends and family members attended the celebration. Lamontagne -- whose late husband, David, founded the diner in 1922 -- died this week at 105. (MICHAEL COUSINEAU/UNION LEADER FILE)
Family members talked and laughed over lunch on Friday, filling the booths to the right of the diner's entrance. Ray occupied a booth with a plaque bearing his mother's name.
Lamontagne said he can't go anywhere without running into someone who knows the Red Arrow Diner.

The genealogy and historical trend on Twitter is amazing. There is just about every historical genre on Twitter and more every day. You have different eras and interest to choose from, like it's it own Twitter. Twitter has helped me connect to people who are researching the same areas as me and even helped me find a few lost ancestors.
My current favorite is PatriotCast on Twitter. To sum it up from them, "PatriotCast is a historical online reenactment of the American Revolution. For eight years it will give a day by day account of the War." PatriotCast will reenact the Revolution with multiple tweets every day between 2010 and 2017 (2010 being 1775). Now that's a long term project.
Getting the tweets everyday is like a news wire to the past. It gives me a deeper appreciation and a better understanding for history.

. Each frame takes about 3 seconds to process - not 10 seconds. What is 'auto accu charger'?
re "You just put the heads to touch frame wire ends and wire melts into wax." Yes, this method does work, but there is a tendency for the wires to buckle when heated and as a result the wire is not evenly embedded along its full length. That is the reason why I prefer this method.

Anyone know how to make a recasting of a helmet like my 97 Rubies helmet?
Printable View
Anyone know how to make a recasting of a helmet like my 97 Rubies helmet?
I would also like to know how to do this.
Pour silicone over it.
Is there a tutorial anywhere
Try this book that was recommended to me by some folks on here :)
The prop builders Moulding and casting handbook by Thurstone James, I ordered mine yesterday and just can't wait till it arrives !!!
Ya i went to a local bookstore and didnt have it so ill seach around but do u know a online tutorial?
Is this one alright ? http://home.houston.rr.com/dpstudios...ng_casting.htm
Here is the place I bought the Thurston James book:
Only 13 bucks man im goin to buy it there, at the book store i check it was for 25bucks im glad i didnt go buy it today lol.
The Thurston book is great. I was directed to acquire this book as well and it has proved to be very enlightening!
Gentlemen I would advise however that you not just make a mold off the dp helmet.. 1st of all I Would think you would want to modify it and make it your own.. larger or whatever.. Also.. Its not as easy as it sounds.. and the silicone is expensive.. not something to be wasted..Also you are openly talking about makin a copy of a copyrighted item on an open forum .. dont think these forums dont get reviewed by license holders.. please be a little more discreet or general when making these statements.. such as "I want to make a copy of my helmet".. and leave it at that.. not bashing anyone , just be carefull as we all enjoy this hobby.. good luck in your projects..

I am docked in Sanford FL and have the same idling problem. The difference is that I only use fuel with no ethanol from my marina. The motor is a 2006 that I bought in September. It has been used very little. The problem could have come from before I owned it but that would not explain why it was idling fine before I traveled for 10 days over the holiday and will not idle now. Before I start taking the carb apart I am investigating possible air leaks from the fuel connections which don't seem to be authentic Tohatsu.
This may not help your problem but the possibility of picking up dirt from the tank makes the filter addition a very good idea too.
FWIW, I have used "Berrymans B-12 Fuel Additive" for over 30 years in older and newer cars, 2 and 4 stroke outboards and motorcycles and have never had any of the problems you described or any other for that matter. As mentioned earlier it is vital that you drain the carb if it is not going to be used for more than a month or so. Don't ask me how I know this. No affiliation with Berryman's products, use at your own risk. This is hot stuff, will melt some plastics and paint.
I just sent this request to Tohatsu:
":Bought the Tohatsu 4 stroke 8 HP new last spring. The problem seems to be it does not like E-10 gas. I've had to disassemble and clean the carburetor twice in the last month to clean the slow idle jet. It is difficult to find straight gas without the ethanol. We are cruising on our boat and can't always get ashore to get fresh fuel for our dinghy. Any adjustments, fixes, additives, suggestions to help the problem? "
And got this response:
Hello Mr. Macdonald,
|Ya have to read a newer manual
|I missed the quote from the manual. Have you asked Tohatsu where they expect you to find "E-zero" gasoline in the US these days? Or if they have a retrofit kit available to deal with E10?
|Don't think is was gray market. Purchased it at Boater's World in Annapolis during their 'going out of business' sale. But it says (as mentioned earlier in this thread) in the manual that you shouldn't use E10 fuel.
Seafoam is NOT fuel stabilizer. Sta-Bil would be the #1 brand of fuel stabilizer, and it works very nicely. While Sta-Bil is largely naphtha, basically gasoline stock, the "secret" ingredients in it actually stabilize the gasoline compounds. (Gasoline typically is blended from 60 different components.)
Seafoam is a mixture of "IPA" isopropyl alcohol, light mineral oil, and naphtha. In other words, alcohol to clean things and "explode" to steam clean the cylinders, gasoline stock so it keeps running the engine, and extra oil to lubricate the parts which the alcohol has just steam-cleaned and left bare of lubricant.
You can make up your own mixture to do the same thing, read their MSDS and you'll see the proportions. Personally? I can't see any reason to use it unless you are trying to use that steam clenaing to blow out carbon on engine valves, or something like that. And, even a pot of old coffee will do that.
Ethanol in gasoline is, and for many years has been, not only normal and common but required in much of the US. I'd be really surprised if a Tohatsu engine could not run on standard E10 (10% ethanol) gasoline, and consider it unsuitable for use or sale in the US market. Was this a gray-market engine not sold by an authorized US dealer?
Gasoline without 10% ethanol is impossible to find in many states. You can buy "100 LL" aviation gasoline at many airports--but that's also LEADED fuel, and you can expect to pay $4.50/gallon for it. Some marinas might carry "real" gasoline...but unless you live near one, that's something you can't expect on any regular basis. (And I went looking for it, because the "winter" E10 blend really kills mileage in my car, but in some states "real" gasoline simply won't be found at any conventional gasoline station.)
Personally...I'd break it down again, make Real Damn Sure everything was surgically clean and correct on the reassembly. If rubber parts were left in contact with fuel over the winter, or fuel that was not stabilized was left in the engine more than 90 days (pump gas breaks down after 90 days), it might just need a good cleaning, some rubber replaced, or something may have been assembled just a bit off.
Using E10 shouldn't be the problem though. Not if you follow the "rules" about using it up or stabilizing it, and not if the engine was sold for the US market. You should be able to contact Tohatsu directly to ask them about using E10 in the engine. Tohatsu Outboards: Authorized North American Distributor for Tohatsu Outboard Motors, Parts, & Accessories. should get an answer for you, for sure.
I have the 2hp version of the Tohatsu motor. the manual states on p4 that
alcohol in the fuel eats the rubber and plastic parts and any damage is not covered under the warranty.it also states it will cause starting, idling and other problems. Finally it states not to use any gas over 10% ethanol or 5% methanol.
Funny, never read that until I saw this post. Sure glad I don't deal with methanol where I live....

Posted by Stephen Mann on August 26, 2011
In a "spare" hour this afternoon I needed to create a list of the Top 20 ITIL adoption mistakes for a Forrester client. An hour later (I made sure I time boxed myself to avoid scope creep … oh dear, scope creep could be included below too) I had 50. Quite scary really.
Anyway, IMO it's an interesting list and most likely incomplete. What it is, however, is something that could potentially be used as a tick list for organizations starting out with ITIL or considering a change of IT service management (ITSM) tool. Please take a read and let me know what I missed (or if you think I am making bits up).
Understanding and Vision
1. Believing the ITIL hype or, for my American friends, "drinking the Kool-Aid". It's about improving the business not adopting ITIL
2. Not understanding what ITIL is, i.e. that it is only a framework. There is no such thing as ITIL-compliance. Oh and ITIL does not equal ITSM and vice versa
3. Not understanding that it isn't about "doing ITIL" but rather that it is about "using ITIL"
4. Thinking that either ITIL is a silver bullet or that it is "the only fruit". What about ISO 20000, COBIT, USMBOK, Six Sigma, and CMMi?
5. Not fully understanding the breadth and depth of the changes it will require across people, process, and technology
6. Not understanding the level of resources (including cost) and commitment needed to adopt it
7. Not understanding the criticality of people to success

A "bonus" blog today (and hence it is quickly constructed) and the subject area will need to be returned to at a later date. The reason for the bonus blog is that I am a little bit excited.
SysAid, a provider of IT help desk and customer service software solutions, has provided me with a subset of the service desk benchmarking information captured through its customers' use of its software (on an opt-in basis, of course).
To me, this is the sort of stuff that the ITSM community (see my previous blog) is crying out for – information that helps them to understand where they are and what they should aspire to. More information about the SysAid benchmarking is available at http://www.ilient.com/it-performance-benchmark.htm (link is provided for more detail on the definitions for the benchmarks below).
Average Service Requests (SR) closed per Admin (Service Desk Agent)
Important note: If you follow the above link, the assumptions show that the SRs are "incidents."
Quick comment – I am assuming that this is per day but I am seeking clarification. As with all the slides in this blog, please treat with care in the absence of sample sizes.
