I went inside and asked the staff if I could see their CD collection, but there was nothing better in there! No Bob Marley, no Jack Johnson, no bossa classics or MPB (musica popular brasiliero), just techno-bregga, modern forro (almost as bad), and some really REALLY tacky American pop.
Batting my eyelids and smiling sweetly, I inquired as to whether their CD player had mp3 capabilities, and if perhaps I could put something a bit more chilled out on? As a result of my charm and blue eyes (they get me a long way here sometimes), they allowed me to put one of my own CDs on and we switched to some reggae.
During the day we sunbathed and went swimming in front of the pousada. One of the waiters took a liking to me, and continued bringing me coconuts and flowers made from twisted napkins. When I was relaxing with my eyes closed, half asleep on the sand, I was suddenly bombarded by a familiar sound.
More techno-bregga.
I sat up intending to use my new-found status with the love-sick waiter to get my music back, but soon discovered that it wasn't the restaurant causing the sound. It was a car with its boot open, displaying enormous speakers that were probably more expensive than the car, now vibrating with bassy electronic rhythms.
And just when I thought things couldn't get any worse…

Hi Larissa,
Good abilities to catch the reader. As I'm concerned, I enjoy your diary.
My English is not terrible but why don't you write "It was a car with its boot opened" ? (yes, certainly a grammar question). Thanks in advance to help us to improve our English. :-)
Read you soon !

The next day I woke up early to the sound of waves (one of my favourite things ever) and went walking around the town. The roads were all made of grass, and there were buffalo here and there eating it. The few people who were around watched us with interest, but few made attempts to smile or speak. That was ok – I was enjoying the tranquility of the tiny town and wasn't particularly interested in answering 1000 questions anyway!
When I got back I found Carlos awake, and we had breakfast together. We sat on the beach enjoying bread, fruit, cake, coffee, and juice, happy to be on the beach and smiling to ourselves more than speaking.
Then the music began.
It started in the restaurant.
They call it Techno-bregga, and I can honestly say that in 10 years of travelling, to more than 30 different countries, I had never heard anything so awful. Picture this… you're on a quiet Brazilian beach. The sun is coming up, it's warm, there's a light breeze, you're eating a piece of pineapple. What kind of music do you imagine? Reggae? Bossa nova? Perhaps some light acoustic guitar?
Well technobregga is nothing like that. It's loud, it's fast, it's electronic, it's repetitive, and a lot of it is sped-up versions of Beyonce or Celine Dion songs translated to Portuguese and sung in a high pitch artificial voice. I thought… well, this could well be the end of any kind of enjoyment I had planned to have here.
I wanted to cry.

I agree with you: this kind of music is awful! I also hate it. But in North Brasil they generally don't have a great musical training and like to imitate Americans.....I lived in southest Brasil, near Rio de Janeiro and I can guarantee that it tastes better and we are very "musical" .I'm happy to stay in this group!!!!!!!
When the woman in reception realised that we weren't going to pay the rate, she told us about a cheaper pousada further down the beach, so we descended to the sand and walked along until we found Sol Nascente.
It was really, really small and basic with the bathroom outside, but half the price of the other, situated right on the beach, and with a buffet breakfast included. I believe breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so being able to eat as much as I want in the morning is a big plus for me!
We dropped our things in our room, and ordered fish and fried macaxeira to eat at a table in the sand.
That night – purely by chance – there was a Carimbó display in front of the restaurant!
A group of dancers – four men and four women came down to the beach and the music began. Carimbó is a popular music from the state of Pará (which is where we were), in which the dancers simulate the man chasing the woman, who avoids him. The women wear circular skirts which they swirl around as they swing from side to side and spin around, and the men wear shirts of the same fabric as their partner's skirts. The dance was really lovely… although I declined the invitation at the end when they called guests to join them!
We went to sleep early and happy, as there wasn't much nightlife in this tiny town.
At this stage we were still in blissful ignorance about the music in Marajo. It was going to get much worse.

Around the size of Switzerland, Marajo is the largest island to be completely surrounded by freshwater in the world. Although its northeast coastline faces the Atlantic Ocean, the outflow from the Amazon is so great that the sea at the mouth is quite unsalty for some distance from shore.
We'd decided to limit our trip to the microregion of Arari (the area closest to Belem!), which included Joanes, Salvaterra, and Soure – in that order – and spend about a week there. The large boat took about four hours to arrive, and we boarded it with all our luggage.
It was a relaxing trip, and we enjoyed watching the forested islands go by as we drifted down the river. On arrival it was already starting to get dark, and we took a small bus at the port to Joanes, which was the closest of the three towns. We'd heard about a Belgian-run hostel with a good book exchange, and asked the bus driver to drop us there.
The hostel was beautiful, set on top of the hill above the beach, with lovely breezes, a comfortable outside social area, and really nice rooms with comfortable beds. Unfortunately – as is often the way with hostels that achieve first listing in the Lonely Planet –it cost twice as much as we'd expected! We were both on pretty tight budgets and really weren't able to afford what they were asking.
It was already dark and we were still homeless.

After leaving the boat and hugging the girls goodbye, we caught a cab to the centre of town and found an internet café. I sent an email to Ricardo to let him know we'd arrived, and luckily, he replied almost instantly.
Not so luckily, he'd forgotten we were coming and wasn't in Belem! He apologized profusely, but I realised it was partly my fault since I hadn't sent a reminder email in the past few weeks.
Carlos and I posted a message in the Belem community group explaining our situation, and quickly received several replies from people offering to host us. Ah, how did I travel before I knew Couchsurfing? ;) We accepted the offer of a girl named Karla, who explained that her husband was travelling for business over the weekend, and she didn't like being at home on her own. We organized a place to meet her, and she came to pick us up in the car.
Karla lived in a very small apartment in the centre of Belem with a small dog who was so jumpy she wouldn't let anyone go near her, and who mostly stayed in the corner eyeing us suspiciously. We would share the sofabed in the living room.
Karla wasn't really one for going out much, although she did take us to see some of the sights of Belem including the Teatro da Paz – a beautiful theatre built during the rubber boom some 100 years ago. We went to a quiet bar in the evening to eat fish, and had a couple of beers each before going home for a quiet night.
Realising that we probably wouldn't see much excitement in the house of Karla, I suggested we go straight to Ilha Marajo the next day, and Carlos agreed.
Next adventure!

We call it the Rizla game because Rizla is a brand of cigarette paper in the UK. You write the name of a celebrity on a Rizla, lick it, and stick it on the forehead of the person next to you so that everyone can see it except them.
Unfortunately, given that none of us were smokers, we didn't have any Rizlas, so we had to employ a variety of methods including twisting paper into each other's hair and using chewing gum!
Once everyone has their celebrities stuck to their heads, it's a game of 20 yes/no questions. Am I a man? Am I an actor? Am I Asian? Etc. If the answer is yes, you get another question. If it's no, the game moves on to the next person. The first person to guess who they are wins the game.
I was terrible, and didn't win a single game, but it was all good fun anyway! Elvis, Monica Lewinsky, Shakira… the British girl continually guessed correctly and won nearly all the games, clearly having played this game many times before.
After the cachaça was finished, we went up to the upper deck and danced to the terrible forro music they were playing. We didn't know how but it didn't seem that important!
We slept well that night, and after 2 days of this, finally landed in Belem.
I'd organized for Carlos and I to stay at a couchsurfer's place named Ricardo, and planned to contact him as soon as we found an internet café.
Unfortunately… things didn't go quite as planned.

This time I was a bit wiser about the boat experience, and we arrived early to hang our hammocks up high. We also made a trip to the supermarket beforehand, to buy bread, crackers, vegetables, tinned tuna, and a large bottle of cachaça. I wasn't into the boat food at ALL and I didn't intend to eat it this time! We even learned that there was a small hotplate on board, so I bought some noodles and powdered soup mix as well.
On board we met two German girls and a British girl who were also part of the Couchsurfing network, and I was relieved to have the chance to speak some English for a while. I know I should have been learning and practicing Portuguese, but…. You know…
We spent a lot of time on the top of the boat, tanning our legs and chatting about our Couchsurfing experiences, reading books, and making macramé bracelets. During the night we opened the cachaça and some juice, and decided to play some games to pass the time.
We played a couple of different card games, but found that there was no place to sit on the boat where the wind didn't continue blowing the cards off the table! We moved onto a few rounds of "I have never" (an evil drinking game) but decided we didn't really want to get that drunk on the boat. Eventually moved onto 'The Rizla Game', which proved to be the winner!

In the evening we went back to the square to have another caipirinha. The area was full of 'hippies' , which is the common name given to artisans – travellers who make jewelry from macramé or wire, often with dreadlocks, and usually smoking their funny-smelling cigarettes. But these hippies weren't smoking, they were running a clown skills workshop for children! It was a lot of fun to watch – there must have been 40 or 50 people in the square, and they were learning to juggle, climb rope, climb on top of each other, and twirl batons. The children were having a great time, laughing and trying to better each other.

15 July 2012
The WFDF World Ultimate and Guts Championships 2012 are history.
The final results and medal rankings:
USA vs Great Britain 17-5 (Gold medal game)
Canada vs. Sweden 17-8 (Bronze medal game)
Japan vs. USA 17-13 (Gold medal game)
Canada vs. Colombia 16-12 (Bronze medal game)
Canada vs. Australia 17-9 (Gold medal game)
Japan vs. USA 15-13 (Bronze medal game)
Canada vs. Australia 17-13 (Gold medal game)
Japan vs. USA 17-14 (Bronze medal game)
USA vs. Canada 15-13 (Gold medal game)
Japan vs. Australia 17-8 (Bronze medal game)
Day 7 of the World Ultimate and Guts Championships has seen the first World Champions been crowned in the Guts Open division. Japan (red) won over USA 2-0. Japan (white) took the Bronze winning 2-0 over Australia. In the meantime the finals are played in the Masters divisions and USA took the Gold in the Women`s Masters division whilst Canada are the Champions in the Open Masters division. Open division, Women`s division and Mixed division finals will be played on Saturday in the main Stadium of J-Green Sakai.
Great Britain playing Australia in the Open division was in the end another game about the ability to score upwind. Great Britain took an early lead off of an upwind huck, but could not preserve it until halftime. Down 8-6 Australia ran off a string of 3 points to take half 9-8. Great Britain battled back, getting one upwind point in the second half, carrying that lead all the way to 14-13. Despite the Aussies having chances to get it back on the upwind, the Great Britain offense held for the 16-14 victory.
Two highly anticipated matches lived up to the hype, as the top of the power pools in the Open division did battle on day 5 of the WFDF 2012 World Ultimate and Guts Championships in Sakai. USA outlasted Australia in a dog fight, a game featuring multiple lead changes and stifling defenses. The Aussies held a 8-5 lead, but were unable to hold off an American run to half, and would find themselves down at half, 9-8. They never relented, fighting back to take the lead 16-15. After a USA hold, the Australians would have a shot to win Top seeds go to universe point, U.S. and Japan victorious. A receiver nearly came down with a low hammer throw in the end zone, but could not hang on, giving the USA a chance for the win. Robbie Cahill found separation on his man, but the throw from Mark Sherwood hung into the wind. As the disc pinballed between defender and receiver, it drifted to the back of the end zone where Sam Kanner would lay for the catch and the win.

Re: Runaway diesel
Have used the CO2 fire extinguisher method to kill a runaway. It works, but make sure its CO2 not dry-chem. Just as an aside, here is a vid of a 1930's Rapp Semi-Diesel (2 stroke) running away from an overfilled crankcase.
Re: Runaway diesel
Years ago I had a run away in my Hunter 30 powered with a 12HP Yanmar better suited for rice patties. I over filled the crankcase. Started the engine, things seemed fine and then it started to race even though I pull the fuel lever all the way back
Yeah, I knew what could happen so I quickly put the transmission in gear and let the boat do wide circles until the run away stopped. No damages
Re: Runaway diesel
The two scenarios for engine runaways are
1 Pneumatic governor usually the single pipe. I have seen an old Mercedes boat engine with one of these. If the pipe breaks or the diaphragm fails they will runaway. You can pull the stop control and the engine will stop.
2 Any engine where the crankcase breather feeds into the inlet manifold. If there is any significant frothing of the crankcase oil and it passes through whatever trap is fitted you get a runaway. Pull the stop control and the engine will not stop you have to cut off the air supply.
If I got a runaway and could not get to the air inlet to stuff a rag in I would pull the decompressor if my engine had one. What ever damage would be done would be less than the catastrophic failure you get from a runaway. Worth doing a dry run to find if you need to remove something to block the inlet. Perkins diesels often have a filter that I would need to be removed before applying the rag.
While I have never witnessed a runaway that actually resulted in an engine failure that was catastrophic I have taken the breakdown truck to a Commer 2 stroke that had run away and so had the driver. There were bits everywhere and one of the pistons was embedded in a brick wall many yards away.
Re: Runaway diesel
We had an old carrydeck crane with a diesel engine that became notorious for not shutting down or overrunning. We installed a ball valve just down stream of the the air filter so we could stop the engine. If your filter housing is threaded to the air intake tube, it would be an easy install, assuming you have room for the valve.

I would not use a rag as it can get sucked up and destroyed into the engine. Instead I would use a piece of wood or something hard over the intake.

The governor doesn't do a thing, it only shuts off/restricts the diesel fuel - so the engine continues to get a full load of 'fuel' from the oil froth.
The fuel shutoff (mechanical and electrical both) does exactly as much good as the governor, none.
Since it's got PLENTY of fuel there and air coming in the engine just does what it is designed to do and runs at full out to use all the fuel coming in, and of course more fuel means higher rpm.
The only way to stop it is to choke air (a rag in the intake) or decompress the engine by tripping the lever on the engine.
You'll need to recognize the condition of run away quick - spinning parts at 4000+ RPM can quickly destroy an engine.
Having had it happen to me just once was enough. I keep a rag zip tied in the the air intake area as well as a zip tie (red) on the decompression lever. It's hard enough to stick your face and hand into a engine compartment with an engine that might be exploding in seconds - doing that and then having to look around for a rag/lever doubly sucks.
runaway diesel is also caused by engine using its own lube oil to run and continues to increase rpms until overheat and detonation. this one must cut off air flow or ditch compression so it stops or it will detonate and you can lose boat. this cause is not fixed by cracking injectors, i have been advised.
this is mainly caused by excessive blowby, excessive cylinder wear, ring failure...worn, broken, cracked....
mine so far seems to have been fuel delivery initiated.
Re: Runaway diesel
As long as you are not in danger of hitting anything you are better to leave it turning the prop as disengaging will allow the engine to rev higher and faster...
Re: Runaway diesel
I don't think anyone mentioned this, but you can use a CO2 fire extinguisher to stop a run away diesel.

Re: Runaway diesel
So a large eastcoast dragger is coming into a crowed port. The oiler, trying to get a head start on shore leave has removed,cleaned and rinsed (with diesel fuel) the air filters .He re installs.Wow. suddenly engine is way past governed RPM. Take her out of gear and probably disintegrate or do a fancy two step in small places. Excessive RPM can be interesting. My best experience was a friends hot chevy . Carb linkage over centered and pressure plate bounced off the pavement , came back up through the radio , dashboard and windshield into the night.Presence of mind (turn off the key) would have helped.
Re: Runaway diesel
running away means the engine continues to speed up . if you don't stop it , it will fly apart. it is a scary situation .

Here's a workspace that's huge and accessible from all sides yet folds up and stows away easily. If you don't have room for a full-size permanent workbench but really need space to spread things out, this workbench is it. It opens to a solid 4 x 7-ft. surface with both wings up, yet closes and rolls into a small 4-ft. x 18-in. spot in a corner of the room. It's a perfect workspace for the garage or basement. It's also a great surface for making repairs, working on hobbies, cutting sewing patterns, wrapping gifts, folding laundry, doing stained glass crafts or even just holding a mechanic's parts.
This project has no complex wood joints. Just straight cuts, careful measuring and some nailing and screwing.
Figure A: Folding Workbench Details
With this illustration, and the Cutting and Shopping Lists, you have the basics for building your own folding workbench.
You can see and print and enlarged version of Figure A and the Cutting and Shopping Lists in the Additional Information section below.
Assembly is as simple as glue and nails
Photo 3: Attach the casters
Flip the assembly upside down and align the caster bases with the outer edges of the bottom. Use 1-1/4 in. long lag screws (drill a 3/16-in. pilot hole) on the outer edge and 1-1/4 in. carriage bolts (drill a 1/4-in. pilot hole) with nuts and washers for the inner fasteners.
Take a look at the Cutting List and cut all your pieces from 3/4-in.-thick hardwood plywood. I used birch plywood from a home center, but any flat plywood sheet will do. Avoid construction-grade plywoods because they'll often have bows or warps that'll make precise fitting impossible. I strongly recommend you use a guide (Photo 1) to cut the plywood. You'll have tighter-fitting joints and better glue bonds.
Once all the plywood pieces are cut, rip the 1/4-in. wide edge banding from 3/4-in. thick boards (or buy it precut from a home center or lumberyard if you don't have a table saw).
Assemble the upper and lower shelves as shown in Fig. A and Photo 2 with carpenter's glue and 6d finish nails. Note: Don't alter the design of the shelves for this workbench. The large shelf supports (A1 and A3) on the bottom and top of the shelves keep the bench from racking out of square. Glue and nail the sides to the shelf ends, then let the assembly sit for an hour to let the glue dry before attaching the casters as shown in Photo 3.
Use 1-in. brads for attaching the hardwood edging
The thin hardwood edging is a necessary component of the bench; without it, the hinge screws would not hold as well and the plywood could delaminate along the edges. To apply the edging, start a few brads into each piece of wood edging, put glue on the plywood and tack each piece into position (Photo 4). Once the edging is tacked in place, nail it every 6 in. with the brads. When the glue is dry, sand the sharp corners of the edging.
Piano hinges are the key to this bench
Photo 7: Add the cam locks
Drill the holes for the cam locks into each panel (D); see Fig. A for exact placement. The larger 1-1/8 in. dia. recess is only 1/4 in. deep and allows the lock to be hidden below the surface. The second 3/4-in. dia. hole goes through to the other side and supports the lock shaft. Follow the directions on the package for mounting.
Piano hinges are a pain in the neck—all those tiny screws. But all those screws give continuous support along the joint for a sturdy worktop. Be sure to align one hinge blade with the top (C) and the other with the top of panel D. Use a hinge center punch like the one shown or a Vix bit, a special drill bit that's self centering. Screw the hinges securely in place with the screws provided.
Glue and screw the blocks to the underside of each panel (D) to support the 3/4-in. pipe flanges and pipe legs. I bought 3-ft. lengths of pipe, threaded on one side, and found that I needed to cut (with a hacksaw) about 1 in. off this length. This allowed room for the flanges and the rubber feet.
The locks serve a dual purpose. First, they keep little hands from getting into things and getting pinched, and second, they'll keep everything inside from tipping out if the bench is jarred. To install them, drill the holes for the lock (Photo 7) and glue a wooden catch to the bottom of the shelf as shown in Fig. A. Measure the shaft of the lock once it's installed to get the correct thickness for the block. We used a 1/2-in.-thick block for ours.
Apply a finish for more color and protection
Remove the hardware to make painting or varnishing a whole lot easier. Label the panels in a hidden spot so you get the right on the right side when you assemble. Small variations from one panel to the next can show up on your hinge placement and locks.
Sand the entire bench with 150-grit sandpaper and use a power sander to knock down any high spots on the hardwood edging. Vacuum the dust, wipe the bench down with a tack cloth and apply your finish. Wait a few days after the last coat of finish to let it cure before you put your first scratches on the workbench.

Hi guys (and gals),
I have been looking at the Hyperdyne website and like the thought of their "Deluxe Pro Trooper voice amp" configured to the Bounty Hunter helmet voice installed in my bucket. This would be a first for me and I'm not sure what else you have to include when modifying. When checking out the Stormtrooper buckets they seem to have speakers and fans to cool stuff, etc. I was wondering if any of you guys have any of this stuff in your helmets and could give me some pointers on what is or isn't necessary.

MTA Bus Crashes Into Manhattan Building
A van driver reportedly crashed into an MTA bus in Washington Heights this morning, sending the bus careening into a building on Broadway.
The collision occurred at approximately 7:40 a.m., injuring at least five people. The MTA says the bus was empty and not in service at the time.
NYPD officials are still determining the circumstances of the crash, which occurred on Broadway between 155th and 156th Streets, but an FDNY spokesperson confirmed that five people are hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries.

Giorgio's restaurant proposes opening Manchester location
By TIM BUCKLAND
New Hampshire Union Leader | August 02. 2013 11:07PM
The restaurant's proposal includes building a nearly 6,000-square-foot restaurant that will resemble its other locations in Milford and Merrimack, architect Bob Clarke, of the Allen and Major engineering and architectural firm, told the city Planning Board during a public hearing Thursday night.
"There are a lot of loose ends here," board member Eric Kizak said.
The restaurant also hopes to use adjacent land, owned by the state Department of Transportation, for a 38-seat patio, Clarke said.
According to the restaurant's website, Giorgio's started as a "small eatery" in 1996. Its first "full" restaurant opened in Merrimack in 2001, and the Milford location was opened five years later.
An adjacent condominium development sent a letter to the board, which was read by Campbell, saying it had no opposition to the project.

EUGENE, Ore. - Sophomore Cameron Overstreet took 16th in the women's pole vault Friday, claiming second-team All-America honors to lead Carolina and close out the Tar Heels' showing at the 2013 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships at Historic Heyward Field.
UNC also had two competitors in the women's triple jump on Friday, in addition to Lianne Farber (1,500) and Clayton Parros (400) competing earlier in the meet.
Overstreet cleared 13-7 1/4 (4.15m), setting an outdoor PR and earning her first All-America nod.
"Cameron competed very well, and this is a great confidence builder for her for future NCAA championships," assistant coach Josh Langley said. "We're incredibly proud of her performance today."
Overstreet qualified for the NCAA championships in exciting fashion, winning a jump-off at the NCAA East Preliminary meet to advance to Eugene. She finished second at both the ACC indoor and outdoor meets, earning All-ACC honors in addition to her All-ACC Academic honors as a sophomore and freshman.
Senior Brianna Hudson capped a successful UNC career in her first NCAA appearance on Friday, jumping a season-high 41-10 (12.75m) in the triple jump to take 19th. Hudson is a two-time NCAA first round qualifier and a two-time All-ACC jumper.
Sophomore Tristine Johnson closed out her second NCAA appearance with a leap of 41-0 (12.51m) to take 23rd in the event.
To view the complete list of results thus far, visit FlashResults.com, and for more information on the 2013 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships, visit NCAA.com.
The final day of NCAA competition will be broadcast on Pac-12 Live Stream starting at 3:30 p.m. and on ESPNU/ESPN3.com beginning at 5 p.m.

"The card turned out exactly as it appeared online. Additionally, the image that I uploaded for the back turned out very clear. Very impressed! Also, it came in adorable packaging!"
"These cards are printed on a sturdy, textured cardstock and the color is just right (not too bright, not too dark). I'm glad I ordered this design and will purchase again when I run low on cards."
"I wouldn't have believed a card could make people so happy but everyone here was stunned by how great these cards looked. Previously we bought our cards from the big guys and we were so unhappy with the cards. We feel so lucky we finally found Tiny Prints. Outstanding company. We wish all our business suppliers gave us such a great product at such a great price with great customer service!!! We can't wait to get more cards!!! Thanks Tiny Prints!!"
"Good, heavy quality cardstock. I chose the teal option and find it to be both professional and eye-catching - I wanted a card that would be easy to find if flipping through a rolodex, since I don't have a logo, and this is exactly what I was looking for."
"I love these business cards! They have the perfect touch of simplicity yet are also unique at the same time. I will be proud to give these cards out to friends, relatives, and business professionals. Overall, I'm very pleased with my order! Thank you."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I think you are right. I'm trying to get there with this machine. It's a new process and it takes a while to get really comfortable with it. I can take 3 different TIG welders and make the same weld with left or right hand and there will be no difference..... It only took 40 years to do that. I don't think I have that much time left. haha
|No, you don't have to run your sewing machine really fast, I don't run mine super fast either, unless I need to. It's not about how fast you run the machine, it's the results you get. That being said,..........the less you have to worry about the machine itself, the more you can concentrate on the job at hand, and the better your finished product will be.
Dan has already noted the "training wheels" when I first got this machine. I know I have to run it at speed and part of the reason I haven't got the servo is that I'd like to use this as designed. I struggle a bit sometimes but I have figured out how to "bump" it and slip the clutch when necessary otherwise I'm pretty comfortable with the speed it runs at now. This isn't a full time job for me so I never will get up to the "pro" level. I just ask for a little technique help on occasion to cut the learning curve.
This was actually fun and I was amazed at how nice the binding looked compared to the "pro" jobs that were done on two of my cruize buddies A Bone and 35 Ford. These just have the binding rolled over the carpet edge and sewed. While it is ok the stiches aren't especially straight and even and don't give a finished look to their high end stuff. JMHO.
My ride and any other I get will be fiberglass cars and they are considerably more difficult to deal with on the interior and other places. Probably why you don't see many of them with lots of miles on them nor even finished. I already have 18k in 2 years on mine and I drove it a couple days ago in light snow. It's not a show car and was never intended to be one.
Anyway I always appreciate the help and a pat on the back for trying hard is always nice too.
agreed but...
Guys that do this once in awhile can't be expected to be experts. There's not enough time in the day/life. Gotta cut them some slack and give them kudos for trying . To be a a little dangerous sometimes is good...for me, hire an expert to do it so the work is impeccable. That's always been my mindset, but i'm also USELESS with my hands.
|NC, you don't understand. Most of these guys want the sewing machine to creep along as slow as is possible. I understand a beginner wanting to slow down a machine that goes 3500 stitches per minute, and you are absolutely right, just putting a smaller pulley on the motor will do that. I also think that at some point, they should want to learn to use the machine the way it was intended, and get away from using training wheels.
Servo Motor
Great job getting the job done. Hopefully the advice comes in handy. The servo motors are great, but if the purpose of buying a servo motor is just to slow down your machine...simply buy a a smaller motor pulleys. This way you don't go out of pocket on a big expense. Ok hope that helps and good luck
I ripped off a couple of the messed up 90 deg corners. I used the 2 piece method and it looks ok for this go around. i learned a good bit here.
The gas pedal opening I trimmed it round and sewed a piece of vinyl upside down as shown in the sticky. Then I added contact cement and carefully folded the edges over and lightly cut the edges for a bit more stretch. Then I went back and sewed "in the ditch". Wow,, probably the best part of the whole project.
I know pictures are best but I'm not quite finished so I'll try and take some when I'm done with this temporary install.
Man this machine is fast and powerful. I really need a servo motor but I keep getting budget setbacks. I did use the smaller pulley which helped a lot. Too bad there isn't a miniature "Crowerglide clutch" for these. That I would understand and be able to use. haha
|You can post all the advise you want, you just can't put your business phone number in your posts.
tight corners
not sure if this post will be allowed but here goes: When you get to corners make a make bisecting cut on the angle. Will free up the carpet for more manueverability...when you sew get in a touch deeper. Don't be afraid to get in deeper. Again if all else fails, hand sew. I'm a sewing machine guy saying that but sometimes when frustrated hand sew! Good luck pal.
|I rounded out the corner for the gas pedal. I'll try putting the binding on it tonight. It's still pretty tight radius. I have one small right angle on the right side carpet behind the seat so it doesn't show. I'll give the multi piece thing a try there. Thanks for the help.
Sorry Mal, you can't post your business phone number in the tech forums.
Here is the forum guideline:
"Don't advertise your business. If you are affiliated with an automotive business, you may not post contact information for that business on public board posts, in your custom user title, or in your avatar. Business contact information includes, but is not limited to: physical addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and URLs. Stating the name of your business is allowed, as long as the name of your business is not identical to any business contact information........."
Tough Corners
Guys that do this for a living have a hard time...so don't worry about it. You're doing great. Advice? Take a hand sewing needle and do the inside rectangle. Will make life easier on you. Hope it works out and if you have any questions give me a ring
Good luck!
Mal @ NC
You will always have trouble trying to make 90 degree corners, especially inside corners. Everybody has trouble with those type of corners. Round off the ends of the gas pedal slot and you will have a much easier time. OR, you could cut the binding of the four corners on 45 degree angles. Your binding would be in four pieces, and have a seam in all four corners.
It is much easier to sew windlace with a large welt foot than with a zipper foot, (3/4" welt foot for 1/2" sponge rod, 5/8" welt foot for 3/8" sponge rod) but you have to invest about $35 apiece on the welt feet.
Any kind of a welt foot or presser foot will work to sew in the ditch. The thicker the carpet, the harder it is to sew.
Carpet binding ..need help
I'm just starting my first carpet project. I got the material cut to fit. I read over the carpet tutorial. My first sewing attempt went ok for what it was. The material is a temporary cheap stuff so I get a feel for doing it before the real stuff.
Just for reference I have a Consew 225R that you have already helped me get running. It is smooth and fast.
There is a driver side and a passenger side, both must be removable easily for access to the trans tunnel. This is also removable but the carpet will be glued to it. I have this cut and fitted. There won't be any binding on the hump pieces. The other 2 pieces overlap this so the edges need to have binding on them.
I managed to get the straight section and the gentle curve over the side of the trans hump done including "sewing In the ditch" Easier said than done. It looks like I could have used the welt foot I used to make the windlace to hold it in better alignment. I have a smaller one too...1/4 in I think.
The problem comes when I do the cut out for the gas pedal. This piece of carpet must be removable to get the trans tunnel out. There is a cut out 3" wide by 6 inches long that I really would like to put binding around. It is "U" shaped and open at the top. My first attempt resulted in a folded up mess. haha I just couldn't get the vinyl to go around the 90 deg corner. The binding is probably not optimal as it is fairly heavy vinyl. I could live with making a rounded bottom to this if necessary as it is directly under the gas pedal.
I use aluminum plates with gaskets to cover the steering column and brake pedal openings so those will not be a problem. Also the door opening will have an aluminum angle covering it so I really just needs the edges against the tunnel done.

|Despite Recession, Student-Alumni Contact Helps Graduate Land Job
|Stephen Nigolian '08 had expected to receive a job offer from the Bank of New York Mellon when, two days before, the company froze all hiring.
Stephen Nigolian '08 had expected to receive a job offer from the Bank of New York Mellon when, two days before, the company froze all hiring.
It was September 2008, as the financial crisis neared its lowest point, a stomach-churning time for investors as well as young job seekers.
On one day -- September 29, 2008 -- the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 777 points, or 6.98 percent.
Ten months would elapse between Nigolian's graduation in May 2008 and when he finally started working at Bank of New York Mellon in April 2009.
His lengthy job search is a tale of perseverance and lessons learned.
As a student and business administration major, he admits he didn't concentrate on the job market. He says he was confident that job prospects would remain stable.
"I didn't feel like I needed to be in a hurry to find a job. I could not have been more wrong," said Nigolian. Most classmates shared his outlook, he remembers. "We were not aware of how rapidly things would change in the labor markets nor of the impact it would have on our job searches."
By the summer of 2008, he was applying to at least two jobs a day. One of them was at the Bank of New York Mellon, where Nigolian was in contact with Ithaca College School of Business alum Dan DiMarco '05, whom Nigolian had known long before arriving at Ithaca. DiMarco gave him an insider's knowledge of the position and described qualities managers would be looking for in candidates.
"What I had to do was explain how I could apply my previous experience and education to connect the dots with the functions of the position," Nigolian said. "Employers really are not too concerned about what you've done, no matter how great, unless you can show them how it will make you successful in the position."
The bank interviewed him twice in late August.
"I was confident I was going to get that position,"' he said, but then the markets collapsed.
So almost every week, starting that September, he sent an e-mail to each manager with whom he had interviewed. He wanted to keep his name before them "and show that I was committed to working for the company. I feel that was very important in preventing me from getting mixed back in with the other applicants."
In March 2009, the bank called to see if he was still interested in the position and asked him to come in for a brief interview -- which ended with a job offer.
Today Nigolian is an account administrator in Global Institutional Investor Services at Bank of New York Mellon's office of more than 400 employees in East Syracuse.
All those applications through the fall and winter led to many interviews, every one a chance to refine his skills, he says.
"The experience taught me that you must make the most out of every communication with an employer and use every opportunity to go to an interview and sell yourself.
"It takes a lot of practice learning how to handle interviews. You are going to face several types of interview styles; the more you experience, the better off you will be in handling them.
"So even if you don't want a particular job you keep getting contacted about, go to the interview anyway and practice your pitch."
Nigolian played two seasons of varsity football for the Bombers, before two injuries ended his career. Sports were part of a well-rounded college experience he considers vital to the job search because it taught him to deal with different personalities and situations.
"Once you enter the work force, these skills are important because you will be faced with many different personalities and management styles," he said. "You must be able to recognize them and adapt to the different ones when dealing with managers, coworkers and clients if you want to be successful."

The concrete industry's best marketers for residential construction are those guys who chase tornados and report on hurricanes. Every time they show a damaged wood-frame structure, it's a subtle reminder that concrete and masonry homes would have stood the test.
Whether you want to blame global warming, or just consumer awareness, homebuyers seem to be willing to pay for residential structures that will stand up to severe weather. And just as importantly, public officials are growing more aware that their responsibility for the public good includes adopting stricter building codes that will protect the long term life of their community. It's hard to be mayor of a city of rubble.
This awareness is evident in the less-than subtle change in the architectural community. Resiliency is quickly taking over the green movement. In a building environment governed by codes, independent testing, and performance standards, resilient construction designs provide the owner and construction team concrete guidelines that produce measureable results.
But how big is this market? And how does our industry benefits from resilient construction designs?
That's what we hope to answer next months at the World of Concrete. We are hosting. The lunch and forum is designed to help convince the industry that refocusing efforts on this market is worthy of time, talent, and treasure.
First we will start to answer the question of "How big is the resilient residential construction market?" Jonathan Smoke, Hanley Wood Chief Economist will provide an estimate on this dynamic new residential market segment. Using data generated by key Metrostudy studies of key metropolitan areas. Attendees will learn the size and location of the residential marketplace with the greatest opportunity for resilient construction techniques. The research project describes current market conditions in states that have been identified as areas of the greatest risk of damage due to natural disasters such as high wind loads and severe seismic activity.
Next Donn Thompson from the Portland Cement Association outline current industry efforts aimed at increasing the marketing opportunities for resilient housing options including ICF construction. Thompson will also discuss the impact that the key new initiatives that are helping to grow homeowner awareness of housing systems that mitigate loss from natural disasters.
And is our tradition, we will host a question and answer session lead by some key industry observors, including contactors and producers, to assess if this potential is real or not.
I'm thankful for the support the Portland Cement Association has provided for this event. And I'm confident that this luncheon and forum will help change our industry's approach to this market. Forty years ago, World of Concrete started as a small conference featuring tabletops and a few speakers. It has grown into the concrete industry's key event. We have the products, the contractors, the designs, and the reports of field performance to demonstrate that concrete housing should be the preferred residential construction system. And now we have a market of interested buyers.
I hope to see you Wednesday, January 22, 11:30 am – 1:30 pm at our luncheon and forum. Here's the link.

Zap weeds and sweep streets in one pass
Meeting two needs with one deed makes Douglas Grider, public works superintendent of Lakeport, Calif., a shrewd manager. He's combined two tasks — cleaning streets and controlling curbside weeds — into one smooth drive-by activity.
He installed the WeedSeeker spray system on the back of his sole street sweeper, which scrubs all 32 miles of the city's streets each week. Here's how it works: Seconds after the sweeper cleans the gutter, the WeedSeeker follows up with a metered spray of herbicide if it senses plants growing in cracks and joints around curbs, gutters, and sidewalks.
Before, the application method depended on location. Workers in a small pickup truck equipped with a tank used a stationary boom with nozzles to apply herbicides to bare ground, pavement, and weedy areas. Whenever vehicles were parked along roads, one person drove the truck while the other got out to manually spray.
"Some people think if a little bit is good, then a whole lot more is better," Grider says. "With that mentality, 250 gallons can be gone after only five or 10 blocks. This system takes away that variable completely. It does away with someone walking along or driving along and having to think when to turn the spray on or off and guessing how much is enough."
Automated application also ensures herbicides are used at rates that follow label directions.
Manufactured by Trimble Navigation, each WeedSeeker unit has a circuit board with a built-in LED light source, reflected light detector, electromagnetic valve, and spray nozzle, all housed in a nylon casing with an integrated stainless-steel bracket. Each unit has a 12-inch field of view.
The sensor surveys the ground for the presence of chlorophyll. If a plant is detected, a valve activates the nozzle to spray a controlled amount of herbicide.
"You replace two guys in a pickup truck and an application system with a vehicle you already own and one employee already doing another task," says Grider. "Now he's also taking care of weed control on the curb, gutter, and front edge of the sidewalk."
A sensor can detect weeds as small as a dime, and spot and spray at speeds of up to 10 miles per hour. Coverage may be widened by adding more units. Each unit runs independently of others. The control panel manages up to 40 units, a volume often used for large-scale agricultural spraying. The devices may be angled to spray weeds under open guard rails and along ditches, or to reach over sidewalks.
Grider estimates the city will recoup its investment in three years, with savings in crew hours, chemicals, and equipment use.
"My staff has dropped 50 percent from eight years ago," he says. "So if you have two guys just spraying weeds, then you don't have two guys out patching potholes or repairing sidewalks."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Ok thank you, I decided against taking in this vehicle as the above problems minor or not were too much of a risk since I really don't know enough about the 350 trans to know what I'm getting into.
Hard to diagnose without seeing it. As Sqzbox stated above, if it has a Full Manual Valvebody it will only shift by moving the shifter handle and wont have a Detent cable. Others will retain Automatic & Manual shifts.
Since you said it would downshift when you gave it more than 1/2 throttle it must have a Detent cable.
There are also Trans that have air or electric shift solenoids that are activated with RPM switches.
|I had a 727 in my dart with reverse/shift, manual shift vave body (sox and martin). In drive (old first gear posistion) it would only shift auto from a stop. Any downshift would have to be manualy shifted to include what you call passing gear. That's why they call it manual shift. There was no detent/downshift cable! Don't know if this applies to the TH350 though, that's just the way it was in mine.
This is very difficult to understand. I'll give it a try.
When an Automatic trans with the stock Valvebody is converted to Manual Shift the Valvebody is modified or replaced with a Manual Valvebody. If it has an electric Transbrake it will have a Solenoid to activate the Brake.
It sounds like the Detent/Downshift cable is adjusted too tight. It should downshift to 2nd gear from 3rd at around 3/4 to Full throttle.
The problem with it getting stuck in 2nd may be the Detent valve in the valvebody sticking/binding or other shift valves in the valvebody sticking/binding.
Called Detent cable, Kickdown cable, Passing gear cable.
Turbo 350 Trans Shift/Slip issues
Hi, I'm new here and will hopefully stick around if this deal on a 70 Monte Carlo goes through. That being said, I wen't to drive the car in question 350 engine and 350 trans and what I had happening was this:
The owner said the car was once an automatic converted to manual shift via a solenoid that selects the gears so I would go from L1 to L2 to D as you would from 1st 2nd to 3rd.
So I head out for a test drive and it starts not shifting into a lower gear when I go to L2. I learn this is because my revs aren't high enough so I correct that and it shifts OKAY. I say it like that because almost every time I shifted into 2nd(L2) it would jerk very hard chirp the tires and 3rd(D) would as well just no tire chirping. Well as I start driving on the highway everything is going good until I give it more than a half throttle and it starts spitting smoke/backfiring when I let off the gas. Then it just cuts out on me all and all and I have to wait for the owner to come with a new battery because apparently the alt was shot. So after we get the new battery I start following him home.
On the way home I notice if I give it more than half gas in 3rd(D) it shifts into a higher gear and gets stuck there until I shift down into 2nd(L2) and then back into third. Which is annoying because I have to slow down to about 30 to shift back into 2nd without im sure locking up the rear wheels.
Anyways I like the car and the engine runs strong as ever minus the smoke and the backfire which I'm not sure can happen because of a bad battery but was gone after the new one was put in. So I would like to know what this could possibly be given the description. I know the description was not perfect and I know relatively little about these Chevy's since I normally have Mopars(please don't shoot me). So I thought I would ask some of you as you would know better than I. Thank you for your time.

We all have different attitudes and policies toward finding and fixing defects. The choice about whether and when to fix defects depends upon many factors, one of the least understood being the actual cost of fixing a defect. In this column, testing expert Johanna Rothman shares a formula for calculating the system test cost to fix defects and how to factor that into the bigger picture of your project.
Dan is a developer working on a project, along with four other people. They spent the first eight months of the project developing the product without fixing their defects, unless the defect prevented them from moving forward with development. Dan and his team thought it would be more cost-effective to fix their defects all at once. So at month nine, about a month away from the desired release date, they decided it was time to fix the defects.
Avery is a project manager at a company with a virtual lock on the market. Because the customers are captive, each customer wants a beta copy immediately, so they can start using the software. Concerned that a beta with many defects would make their customers angry, Avery decided it would be more cost-effective and less risky for the developers to find and fix the majority of the defects before they started system test.
Two projects, two completely different approaches toward finding and fixing defects. We all have different attitudes toward fixing defects, specifically which ones to fix and when. The choice to fix or not to fix depends upon many factors: the kind of product you're developing; the risks associated with shipping known or unknown defects; your development processes; and what it will cost you to fix the defect when you do fix it.
One of the least understood factors is the actual cost of fixing a defect. This cost feeds back into your choice of development lifecycle and development process and can help you decide how much risk you're willing to take to ship or not ship the product. However, many people don't actually know what it costs their organizations to fix a defect. If you're not sure either, here is an estimation technique to measure that cost:
In system test, when people are 100 percent dedicated to finding and fixing defects, count the number of fixes. You know how many people (developers, testers, and anyone else) worked on the project, and you know the duration of system test. This allows you to calculate the cost to fix a defect during this phase of the project. Here's how you can find the average cost to find and fix a defect:
Average cost to fix a defect =
(Number of people * number of days) * cost per person-day
(Number of fixed defects)
Note that the number of defects you find isn't enough information—it's the number of defects you fix. Detecting defects is only the first step. Locating the failure, deciding how to fix it, developer testing (a.k.a. unit testing) the fix, system testing the fix, and looking for other defects this fix caused is why the fix value is what's important. Let's look at some examples. In these examples, I assume a person-day is $500.

Fox Rallies Around Romney For Widely Criticized Libya Remarks
Fox News came to Mitt Romney's defense after his response to the attack on American diplomats in Libya was seen by many as an "attempt to score political points" and widely condemned, even by fellow Republicans.
Romney: Obama Administration "Sympathize[d] With Those Who Waged The Attacks"
Romney: Obama Administration's Handling Of Issue "Akin To An Apology." Following the attack on United States diplomats in Libya, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney issued a statement accusing President Obama of "sympathiz[ing] with those who waged the attacks" instead of "condemn[ing] attacks on our diplomatic missions." From The New York Times:
Mitt Romney on Wednesday took aim at the Obama administration's handling of unfolding developments in the Mideast, including the death of an American ambassador in Benghazi, Libya, accusing the administration of a "severe miscalculation" and calling its handling of the matter "akin to an apology."
"I'm outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt and by the death of an American consulate worker in Benghazi," Mr. Romney said in a statement that went out just before 10:30 p.m. "It's disgraceful that the Obama administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks."
Mr. Romney's comments were referring to a statement released by the American Embassy in Cairo that condemned an American-made Web film denouncing Islam -- the catalyst for the protests and violence in Cairo. However, the embassy's statement was released in an effort to head off the violence, not after the attacks, as Mr. Romney's statement implied. (Though the embassy staff in Cairo later said on Twitter that their original statement "still stands" -- a Tweet they then tried to delete -- the Obama administration disavowed the embassy's statement).
On Wednesday, Mr. Romney canceled a campaign event so he could address the crisis.
"I think it's a terrible course for America to stand in apology for our values, that instead when our grounds are being attacked and being breached, that the first response of the United States must be outrage at the breach of the sovereignty of our nation," Mr. Romney said at the Wednesday morning press conference. "An apology for America's values is never the right course."
Asked if politics should come to a halt in the wake of the deaths of four Americans, Mr. Romney replied: "We have a campaign for presidency of the United States and are speaking about the different courses we would each take with regards to the challenges that the world faces." [The New York Times, 9/12/12 [1]]
Romney's Response Was Widely Condemned
David Frum: "Romney Campaign's Attempt To Score Political Points On The Killing Of American Diplomats Was A Dismal Business In Every Respect." The Daily Beast's David Frum criticized Romney for his "attempt to score political points" following the attack on a U.S. embassy that led to the killing of an American diplomat:
Politicians must pander, it goes with the job. But they mustn't leave their fingerprints all over their pandering. The Romney campaign's attempt to score political points on the killing of American diplomats was a dismal business in every respect. Disregarding every other aspect, however, it was graceless and stupid as a matter of politics. [The Daily Beast, 9/12/12 [2]]
WSJ Highlights Republican Criticism Of Mitt Romney's Response. A Wall Street Journal blog post cited several Republicans who "took the GOP presidential nominee to task" for his attack on Obama. In addition to Frum, the post cited such prominent Republicans as former senior adviser to Senator John McCain's presidential campaign Steve Schmidt, former McCain speechwriter Mark Salter, and Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan for their criticism of Romney. [Washington Wire, The Wall Street Journal, 9/12/12 [3]]
Wash. Post: "Romney Takes Hits From Fellow Republicans." Like The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post highlighted some of the criticism coming from Republicans for his response to the attacks on the U.S. embassy in Libya and Egypt. The Post highlighted remarks from Republican lobbyist Ed Rogers, who said Romney "bobbled" his response to the attacks, and Rep. Peter King (R-NY), who said Romney was "right on the larger point," but "I probably would have waited a day or half a day." [The Washington Post, 9/12/12 [4]]
WSJ's Peggy Noonan: "Romney Looked Weak" And "Like Richard Nixon." In a Wall Street Journal video, columnist Peggy Noonan pointed out that "I don't think [Romney] did himself any favors" in his remarks on the violence, adding, "Romney looked weak today, I feel ... at one point, he had a certain slight grimace on his face when he was taking tough questions from the reporters, and I thought, he looks like Richard Nixon." [The Wall Street Journal, 9/12/12 [5]]
NY Times: Romney's Response To Deadly Attacks Was "An Extraordinary Lack Of Presidential Character." A New York Times editorial was critical of Romney for attacking Obama during Romney's response to attacks on U.S. embassies in Libya and Egypt:
Mitt Romney, who wants Americans to believe he can be president but showed an extraordinary lack of presidential character by using the murders of the Americans in Libya as an excuse not just to attack Mr. Obama, but to do so in a way that suggested either a dangerous ignorance of the facts or an equally dangerous willingness to twist them to his narrow partisan aims. [The New York Times, 9/12/12 [6]]
ABC's Tapper: Evidence For Romney's Claim That Obama "Sympathizes" With Attackers, Wasn't Apparent, Because "It Does Not In Any Way Exist." Jake Tapper, ABC News' senior White House correspondent, noted that Romney's attacks did not "stand up to simple chronology." He went on to explain that Romney's suggestion that Obama "sympathized" with the attackers is based on no evidence, "likely because [the evidence] does not in any way exist." [ABCNews.com, 9/12/12 [7]]
Wash. Post: "Mr. Romney's Rhetoric On Embassy Attacks Is A Discredit To His Campaign." A Washington Post editorial explained the multiple fallacies presented by the Romney campaign. The Post condemned Romney's speech as "a series of crude political attacks on President Obama" that are a "discredit to [Romney's] campaign." [The Washington Post, 9/12/12 [8]]
But Fox Defended Romney, Endorsed His Criticism Of Obama Administration
Fox's Stephen Hayes: "On The Substance," Romney Was Right. On September 12 edition of Fox News' Special Report with Bret Baier, Fox News contributor Stephen Hayes claimed Romey's "critique was the right critique." Hayes disagreed with Romney's timing but only because "the media were going to obsess on this." From Special Report:
HAYES: Well, I think on the substance, Mitt Romney's critique was the right critique. I mean, the president did send mixed signals. The administration from the first tweet from the embassy in Egypt did lead with an apology. Even subsequent statements by Hillary Clinton where she added in denunciation of the violence always led with what was tantamount to an apology. So I think on the substance, he's got a very good case.
On the timing, would I have done the press conference? I probably wouldn't have, but it has much more to do with the fact that you knew the media were going to obsess on this and obsess on it they did. They are so now fascinated by this process story, using the process story the beat up Mitt Romney rather than taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture question about the policies. You have in effect what we're witnessing is perhaps a partial collapse of the Obama doctrine. The leading from behind manifesto that has governed the way that the administration has conducted foreign policy over the past three-and-a-half years. And all we heard about all day today was the media and whether Mitt Romney should have put out a statement at that time. [Fox News, Special Report with Bret Baier, 9/12/12]
On Fox, Ann Coulter Said Romney's Statement Was "Devastating To President Obama." During the September 12 edition of Fox News' Hannity, Ann Coulter claimed that "you know that Romney's statement was devastating to President Obama because the media is screaming bloody murder. If he hadn't struck gold that they wouldn't all be doing this":
SEAN HANNITY (host): The liberal media, we'll show this later in the program tonight, what is their answer to this? To attack Governor Romney for doing what our president should have done and to say this is unacceptable. We're not going to allow it. We have a tape where they coordinated their little questions together so they you ask, you follow-up, you ask, you follow-up.
COULTER: No. It's stunning. You know that Romney's statement was devastating to President Obama because the media is screaming bloody murder. If he hadn't struck gold with that, they wouldn't all be doing this. But that's their response to everything Romney says. Oh, can you believe he said that? Yeah, I can. I can't believe what Obama said.
HANNITY: I was actually thankful that we had a leader that actually came out and defended the United States of America and said that there will be consequences if you attack this country.
COULTER: This is the consistent, it is not just with terrorists, this is the consistent division between the parties, which is why you can't allow a Democrat anywhere near national security. It is always to back down in the face of extremism, whether it's Bolshevism or terrorism, it's always to apologize for what you are doing. It doesn't work with Communists and it doesn't work with terrorists.
HANNITY: I love when Krauthammer told them, they should've told them to go straight to hell. [Fox News, Hannity, 9/12/12]
On Fox And Friends, Andrew Napolitano Bolstered Romney By Calling His Remarks "Statesman-Like." In a conversation on Fox & Friends, co-host Steve Doocy asked Fox News senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano what he thought about Romney's comments:
DOOCY: What did you think much what Romney said yesterday?
NAPOLITANO: I have a lot difficulties with some of things Governor Romney has done, I'm furious that he wants to keep part of Obamacare. But what he said yesterday in my view was statesman-like and was far more presidential than what President Obama said. [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 9/12/12]
On Fox, Ann Coulter Claims Romney's Response Was "Perfectly Appropriate." During the September 13 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, Ann Coulter praised Romney by calling his response to the embassy attacks "perfectly appropriate" and attacked the media for being shocked by Romney's comments. Coulter claimed that "there is nothing shocking" about what Romney said:
COULTER: Right. Right. And look at the substance of the question. The President of the United States has just done something incredibly, stupidly naive, harmful to United States foreign policy interests, manifestly it led to our ambassador being killed by ginning up angry Muslims protesting outside the, first the Cairo embassy. And what do they switch it to? The criticism of the angel Obama. And this is what it's going to be like until Election Day. I mean, I've noticed that not even on something as important as this, but the media's technique now is to play a perfectly appropriate answer from Mitt Romney and then to come back to them, the host, and say, and act like they're shocked, shocked. But there is nothing shocking in what was just said.
GRETCHEN CARLSON (co-host): But to me, it's two pronged. The idea they would coordinate together is news to me. I mean, I just never knew that this -- I just can't imagine any esteemed journalist agreeing to do that. But number two, once you agree on the singular question, if that's the way the game is played, then don't go to question number 2 after you ask that question? 'Cause they didn't. They asked the same question six times.
COULTER: Right, right. And it's the same way in the reverse with Obama. It will be the same question about how hard is it dealing with these Republicans? [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 9/13/12]
Shaffer On Fox: "I Do Agree With Governor Romney." On the September 13 edition of Fox & Friends First, co-host Gretchen Carlson asked retired Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer, senior fellow at the Center for Advanced Defense Studies, what he would have done in Romney's situation:
SHAFFER: This is why yesterday was so important regarding drawing that line and being clear about it. I do agree with Governor Romney. President Obama, his embassy saying we're apologizing for these Americans who put something offensive on the internet was the wrong signal to send. It should have been 'hey, we admire, we enjoy freedom of speech and we defend our equities, period.' Instead you now - this Yemen thing I believe is a direct result of the milquetoast response of the president over the last 24 hours. Even his statement later in the day yesterday wasn't sufficient to say we really are serious about defending what we want to defend. [Fox News, Fox & Friends First, 9/13/12]

Hello all,
I didn't find help in these forums, but on a french site. Now I am very proud that I really did understand the french howto.
Original Thread in french
Since I allready asked in another thread, I want to give you a translation in case anybody else has the same problem.
Problem: when I try to start simulink, matlab crashes with an error that libXft.so.1 is missing. The error is in the first lines of text matlab writes down when it crashes. I didnt record the error message, it is something like:
the following steps assume that matlab is installed inCan't load '/usr/local/My_install/matlab/bin/glnx86/libmwsimulink.so': /usr/lib/libXft.so.1: no such file
To solve this, follow this:
this should install you the libXft.so.2 files.Code:sudo apt-get install libXft2
now link the older libXft.so.1 to the newer files
Now a different error should appear when trying to start simulink:Code:sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libXft.so.2.1.2 /usr/lib/libXft.so.1
backup your old qt-mt lib??? Can't load '/usr/local/My_install/matlab/bin/glnx86/libmwsimulink.so': /usr/local/My_install/matlab/bin/glnx86/libqt-mt.so.3: undefined symbol: XftFreeTypeOpen
now again another error appears when trying to start simulink.sudo mv /usr/local/matlab7/bin/glnx86/libqt-mt.so.3 /usr/local/matlab7/bin/glnx86/libqt-mt.so.3.old
fix it with
now it works.Code:sudo mv /usr/local/matlab7/sys/os/glnx86/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/local/matlab7/sys/os/glnx86/libgcc_s.so.1.old
hope I could help!

Thanks for the heads up buddy. I've already got some feelers out for legal advice.
Brak's check your PM's and Montes if you are reading, I've got an email coming to you as well.
Braks is on a plane back to Georgia right about now from Boston so he might not get your messages for a bit Goat. Just a heads up.
