Does anyone have a glock sf and if so..how do you like it?
I had a 30sf. Compact 45. It was ok. It fit my hand gun. Shooting was ok. I was off that day with everything I shot. My biggest fault was how thick the slide was while trying to conceal. It was just so friggin thick. Now I dont know about the slide on 36sf (compact 45 single stack I believe it is a 36) anyway I dont know how thick the slide is but overall the grip was nicer in my hands and I have medium sized hands.
I will say I had no problems with the gun at all with the exception of carrying it in a IWB. Maybe with a OWB holsterit might have been different.
My advice is to go to a gun shop and hold it for alittle bit get a good feel for the grip. Rent one and shoot it if you can. If you are just looking for something to conceal and are set on glocks I would hit the 26 or 27 models up if you dont mind carrying a 9mm or 40.

Very solid solar lights
By Do it uselfer
from Fleming Island, FL
We are using to accent light our lanai and around a paver patio we put in. Best solar lights I have found. Very easy to install, well built and stay lit a very long time with setting set to 10 hours. For us, they are bright enough ans cast a nice design light. Just enough light to see by and in our experience just as bright as some direct wire we have used in the past. Have purchased a total of six of these lights and would buy again.

Solar Walkway Lights
By Photodog

Great illumination at night. After installing be careful not to bend the light pole sideways because the aluminum will break off on the spike.

Night Lights
By Pete
from Loveland, OH
We have no street lights. These light our front walk and driveway. All come on about the same time and remain on until about 3-4am depending on hours of earlier sunshine.

Not what I expected.
By Bookgleaner
from San Francisco
I did not know the small light would require recharging of 12 hours of sunlight every day. I am planing to return it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Walkway Light
By BobbyV
from Denver, CO
Using the lights in the backyard. Have 5 and they light up most of the yard, which is medium size. But as least, they need about 6 hours of intermittent sun light to remain lit for several hours. In Colorado and usually have sunshine most days. But the illumination is very good and better than any other solar lights I have tried. Sunlight again, is crucial.

Simply the Best!
By lmr526
from Gulf Breeze, FL
We live in a small neighborhood that has privately owned roads. There are street lamps along the way, but not nearly enough to illuminate the roads. I bought four to place on each side of our two driveways that lead to the three car garage. One set faces the house, the other is on one side of the house that is off the main one way road. My husband and I are so pleased with the effect, he was careful to follow the instructions and waited for a full sunny day to solar charge them. They make such a huge difference that we are getting more to add beauty and charm to our home at night. You will not be disappointed, they are far superior to anything you can find online or at the big box stores. I love the guarantee from HS and appreciate fine quality and craftsmanship.

Great Solar Lights
By Nana of Three Texas Cuties
from Muskogee, OklAHOMA
I originally ordered 6 and they worked as described. I ordered an additional 20 and so far only one of the 26 isn't properly (it is the battery). At this point I have no negative feedback. Once I get the battery in the "ugly duckling" all will be well

Amazing Solar Lights
By Crafty Shirley
from Monterey Park, CA
Had these lights about 3 weeks. Put them in the in the raised flower bed in our side yard where there is no light. Much brighter than the other solar lights we have. Provides more than adequate lighting on the walkway. I bought a total of 4.
VERY VERY best solar walkway light!!!!

Lindsay Lohan Forgets Her Troubles at Organice Your Life
Putting aside her financial issues for a night, Lindsay Lohan stepped out to attend the Lonneke Engel And Valentina Zelyaeva Organice Your Life Annual Holiday Party at Time Warner Building in New York City on Friday (December 14).
The "Liz & Dick" star wore a short black dress with a white furry jacket and pointy heels as she posed for photographers.
Recently, it was revealed that the fiery redhead owes a storage company around $16,000, which could lead to the items in her locker being sold if the bill isn't paid by the end of the month.
However, she got an indecent proposal from New York strip club scores, who offered to foot the bill if LiLo guests as a video chat host for their website.

Recruits Having Success in U.S. Development Academy Playoffs
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Three future Green Bay men's soccer players – Conner Sendobry (Grover, Mo.), Eddosa Muhammad (Faribault, Minn.) and Valdis Upmalis (Riga, Latvia) – will compete at the U.S. Soccer Development Academy's Finals Week from July 14-20 in Houston, Texas, as their U-17/18 clubs were among the eight to qualify from their respective playoff groups.
St. Louis Gallagher Missouri, which features Sendobry, and the Shattuck-Saint Mary's Soccer Academy, which features Muhammad and Upmalis, both qualified by placing first in their four-team playoff groups, and will begin Finals Week matches on July 14 at the Houston Amateur Sports Park. The U-17/18 Championship is set for July 20 at BBVA Compass Stadium, the home of Major League Soccer's Houston Dynamo.
"Reaching the Development Academy finals is a great accomplishment," Phoenix head coach Dan Popik said. "I'm proud to have three future Green Bay student-athletes representing our program at this event."
The top 32 U-17/18 teams in the country qualified for the Development Academy Playoffs based on their 10-month regular-season records. The teams were divided into eight groups of four and played three group games from June 24-28 in Frisco, Texas. The winners of each group advanced to Finals Week, with U.S. Soccer covering all expenses.
Sendobry has played in 26 of 30 matches as a midfielder for St. Louis Gallagher Missouri this season. He has started 14 times, including two of the playoff contests, and has scored one goal on the year. His team posted a 1-0-2 record en route to winning the playoff group, defeating Real Salt Lake (2-1) and tying with D.C. United (2-2) and CASL Chelsea FC Academy (1-1).
Muhammad ranks third on Shattuck-Saint Mary's in scoring with nine goals on the year. The forward has suited up in 27 of 30 games and has made 12 starts. Muhammad scored a goal in a 4-0 rout of Pateadores in the opening match of the playoffs, and helped Shattuck-Saint Mary's to a 2-1 win over Kendall SC to secure the group title.
Upmalis also played a key role in Shattuck-Saint Mary's' trip to Finals Week, starting at defender in all three playoff matches. He has played in 27 total contests this season, making 25 starts and scoring one goal.
Sendobry, Muhammad and Upmalis are three of 16 new players that Popik has added to the Phoenix roster for 2013. Green Bay men's soccer, which will be releasing its schedule soon, is set to begin its 45th season this August.

Finski are you saying your friend learned how to keep bees from us Americans? Hey, maybe there is hope for us after all X:X X:X X:X
As Walt said in the end of his Beesource article, the solution is simple; use jumbo hives. Dadant and Brother Adam figured this out 100 years ago. Modern beeks just like to make life difficult for some reason :? Why fool with picking up a deep and putting a shallow under it for winter pollen stores? Why fool with trying to keep brood out of shallow supers in the winter/spring? Why fool with swapping boxes in the spring? Why sort through dozens of brood frames in the spring looking for queen cells? Why do beeks like to make their lives more difficult?The solution is simple: use jumbo frames. I overwinter in a SINGLE jumbo box in Michigan. No honey boxes on top, no pollen boxes on bottom, no candy boards, no swapping, no nothing; just one box and the bees are boiling out by spring. The large brood frames make a lot of bees. Of coarse my hives are also insulated polystyrene hives which also makes a big difference in wintering success IMO.

Nearly one-third of all US babies are delivered via Cesarean section. Here are some facts from the International Cesarean Awareness Network (ICAN) :
- When a cesarean is necessary, it can be a lifesaving technique for both for mother and infant
- Many indications for cesarean can and should be questioned
- In half of all cesarean births women suffer complications, and the maternal mortality rate is two to four times that of women with vaginal births
- Approximately 180 women die annually in the U.S. from elective repeat cesareans
- Vaginal birth after cesarean is safer for both mother and infant in most cases than is a repeat cesarean
- According to the World Health Organization, "Countries with some of the lowest perinatal mortality rates in the world have cesarean rates of less than 10 percent."

The Atlantic's Garrett Epps Promotes Flimsy Free Speech Arguments Against "Ex-Gay" Therapy Ban
In The Atlantic, former Washington Post reporter Garrett Epps defended a federal district judge's decision to put a new California law banning "ex-gay" therapy on hold, lending credence to the shoddy claim that the law limits the free speech of therapists hoping to cure their patients of homosexuality.
California is in the midst of a legal battle over SB-1172 [1], a law adopted in September that bans the harmful practice of "ex-gay" therapy. On December 4, U.S. District Court Judge William Shubb granted [2] a preliminary injunction against the law, handing a victory to the plaintiffs who have argued [3] that the law restricts the free speech of therapists.
In his December 5 article [4], Epps references this argument, embracing the claim that the law would prohibit therapists from even suggesting "ex-gay" therapy - also known as "sexual orientation change efforts" (SOCE) - to their patients:
At its heart, the statute forbids a therapist's communication to a patient: I think that you can change your sexual orientation and if you want to, I will help you. And thus it embodies what First Amendment lawyers call a "viewpoint-based restriction." Therapists are free to counsel patients that their gay sexual orientation is a good thing, and are free to counsel against SOCE; those who give the opposite advice face state-mandated loss of their therapists' licenses.
Epps cites Conant v. Walters [5], a 2002 case in which the Ninth Circuit struck down a policy that prohibited doctors from recommending medical marijuana to their patients on first amendment grounds.
But SB-1172 does not prohibit doctors from discussing or even recommending "ex-gay" therapy to their patients. It only prohibits them from performing that therapy, as the text of the law [1] clearly states: "this bill would prohibit a mental health provider... from engaging in sexual orientation change efforts."
In fact, another U.S. district judge, Kimberly J. Mueller, rejected [6] a separate, similar injunction against the law for that very reason, explicitly dismissing [7] comparisons to the Conant decision:
Here, plaintiffs have not demonstrated a likelihood of success on the merits of their claim that SB 1172 will subject mental health professionals to discipline if they merely recommend SOCE to minor patients, or discuss it with them, or even present them with literature about SOCE. This case is thus unlike Conant, where the government was unable "to articulate exactly what speech [was] proscribed, describing it only in terms of speech the patient believes to be a recommendation of marijuana." Here, in contrast, the state's insistence that the statute bars treatment only, and not the mention of SOCE or a referral to a religious counselor or out-of-state practitioner, is consistent with a fair reading of the statute itself. [emphasis added, citations removed for clarity]
Mueller went on to conclude that "the provision of healthcare and other forms of treatment is not expressive conduct" entitled to First Amendment protection, writing:
As SOCE therapy is subject to the state's legitimate control over the professions, SB 1172′s restrictions on therapy do not implicate fundamental rights and are not properly evaluated under strict scrutiny review, but rather under the rational basis test... SB 1172 passes the rational basis test.
Indeed, adopting Judge Shubb's view of therapy and the First Amendment would make it extremely difficult for the state to regulate not only psychotherapy, but all forms of medical treatment. As Shannon Minter, Legal Director for the National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR), wrote in a statement to Equality Matters:
If health care professionals have a first amendment right to express any opinion when they are treating their patients, then even medical doctors can't be prohibited from disregarding medical science and telling patients to do things that are harmful or even deadly. For example, under current law, a doctor can't tell you that it would be good for your health to smoke a couple of packs of cigarettes a day. But if Judge Shubb's analysis were right, a doctor could not be disciplined by a medical board or sued for malpractice for voicing his or her "opinion."

Any grooves or crevices that cut back underneath another part. Like this.
I'm really enjoying your progress! Your enthusiasm is awesome!! You are showing incredible creativity and perserverance!! Right on!
Helmet's off to you!
Almost as big as my foot...
For any of you guys going to CIV, (I cant-no money/transportation ) I just found out that they are going to have a 501st panel with representatives of each class. The special ops COG will be making a presentation, and is going to include pictures of the helmet progress and will make note of it being a battle front dark trooper, also will put my full name with it for credit. Yes, I have a last name, but you'll never figure out my middle (for those that actualy see the presenation) I may not be there, but im happy that my project will be getting more attention.
Well upon further thought and planning, I have decided im going to scratch build an oven for the vac-former. I went to home depot and picked up some hardibacker 1/2" cement board, 15amp plug, switch box, 20 amp switch and only 10 ft of 10-2 G romex wire. I still need to get the nichrome wire, ceramic posts and the appropriate screw and such. I have most of it, but I need to get the last parts online.
(And I have no idea what Im getting myself into..)
Alright, took about half an hour, but the layout of the wires on the hardibaker is drawn up. Now I just need to get the drilling done and order the rest of the parts... Fortunatly, I got this drawn in one shot.
W O W! We got ourselves a picasso! Way to go dude keep em comin!
Saturday, I went with the local 501st squad to a hospital visit to help out. I had chance to look at a few of the tk parts in person, and I was able to see the hand guards. I have to re-sculpt these for the reason that mine are too small for me at least. Theres nothing wrong with the ones I have already sculpted, its just their size. They may fit someone else's hands, but not mine. Im also going to try something else that may make these easier to make. Some things I need to fiz, is making them more curved, and making the detail more clear. I have the idea that maybe using some sort of dense, but thin rubber, cut out the right size of this, and since it would be flexable, it would just easliy form to the rest of the mold. So no more having to sand a solid piece of wood hoping it has the same curve as well as not being too thin.
Also, the nichrome wire for the oven was graciously donated to me by CJanassen, a fellow member on the tk560 site. I want to make a note of his generosity for my project.
More coming soon. I plan to get this oven finished before the end of April, or mid May, so that I can start the casting. My goal right now is to finish the helmet completly no later then the first week of June.
By the end of this...you'll be a celebrity. Just don't get so far and then quit...HANG IN THERE!!!
I gotta say, finding these suckers took me awhile, and then trying to find enough for this was just as hard. I need 56 of these #10-24 1 1/2 bolts w/ screw nuts. I have all the screws with washers and wing nute for the terminal posts and those are just awaiting the ceramic posts I still need to order. Unfortunatly, while I have everything else, I still need 13 more bags of the 10-24 bolts. I am just ticked they just couldnt sell these in a box...
Not pictured is a piece of sheet metal which I will use to help attach the oven walls together.
Seeing how I was denied being able to purchase helmet decals, and I couldnt find any online (at least where I was searching) Im forced to just paint on the details. Fortunatly, when I first went paint shopping for the correct grey, I picked up the wrong shade, kept the paint though, and went out and found the right shade. Well, Ive realized that it is a good enough shade for the helmet details. Ive painted this on the helmet already, just deciding between a black marker or the auto stripping for the black lines. I'll post pics whens its completly finish.
Hey man. Have you tried the Testors decal making kit you can get at the model section at Wally World or hobby stores. I've used it for all of my decals and I've been very pleased with the results. You should be able to just buy the decal paper and the spray you coat it with, after printing, separately. All you would need to do is make the decals to scale on your computer and print them on the waterslide paper.
Hey, T-bone, I was thinking about doing that at first, but I actually started last night on this, and it looks prett sharp so far. I painted the grey on the boxes and the tear drops. Im using the left over pinstriping from my last project for this. Its 1/8 inch wide black auto-motive stripping, and Im cutting each section in half. Since Im not using the FX decals, Im making it I guess more accurate to the ANH Tk helmets. I finished the first tear drop, and I think it came out pretty well. I will post pics later tonight once I finish the other boxes and tear drop.
Also, my helmet completion date has been moved to May 1st. I know its like 14 days from now, but im sure as heck gonna try for it. The reason is that the Spec Ops. COG is going to show some pis of it at C4 during the 501st panel presentations. I want to have something more than and face plate taped to a mold. May 1st is the deadline for giving him pics.
I just ordered the ceramic posts, but I will not be able to order HIPS until thursday. I can at least finish and test the oven. Its gonna be a close one if it makes it here before May 1st. Wish me luck!
Okay, well I wasnt able to finish all of it yet, but not that much left. I figured I should start showin instead of talking, so here it is. I was using a ref pic of an actual tk helmet from the movie for the lines to make it a bit more accurate then the standard FX decals
On the dome, I left the bottom line the regular width because Im afraid that It would be too thin when I put the face and back pieces together, and possibly exposing grey underneath the line.

Well, the oven is starting to take more shape then it has been. Not 100% perfect but it will do. Excuse the unusual shape of the brackets, cutting the sheet metal was more of a pain in the *****. I have a knack for buying things I think I will need, or work at the time, but it dosnt, but somehow later on down the road, it helps me finish or do something I need to. The mistake im talking about this time is the jigg saw blades pack, I got and it didnt work for me at the time, but now it does cause it has a metal cutting blade. However, accuratly cutting the metal is harder then one thinkc. Looks dosnt always matter, its how it works, and it works fine so far. The ceramic posts should be in sometime next week Im assuming, and hoping. Also, I need to re-sketch the oven coil guidlines, they are too close to the oven walls as you can propbably see.
Thats coming together really nicely! Great work!
Good news, the ceramic insulator posts came in today! So this really will help speed up the progress. Im hoping to have a fully operational oven ny Monday. Im going to try to do most of it today, re-sketch the guildlines, drill the holes, put together the post w/ bolts and in place, construct the terminal posts, wire the electronics and start the nichrome wire coiling...hmmm, I may even be able to finish it tonight even. Regardless, it will be done by monday.
Have fun with it! Sounds like you know what's going on.
Good luck! Hope everything works out well with it.
Sorry, I was working on the oven since 9 pm on Friday and went to bed at 530 this morning only having to get up for sea cadet drill at 630. Im very tired. Ive realized now that I blew a breaker after turning it on and letting it run. I then realized that I forgot a second segment of the ground wire that needs to lead to a metal piece. Today, I re-set the breaker, added the secod segment of the ground wire and stuck it temporarily between the metal bracket of the oven walls. I turned it on, only this time, the coils from E to D were orange hot. I couldnt tell is the other coils were getting hot or not. I didnt run it long, but I turned it on and off several times. From what Im seeing, it appears that all the 120 v is going through only to those coils. Another factor is probaly how I wired or wrapped the nichrom wire. It was never 100% clear to me how to properly do this, if anyone can tell me the exact method they used, it might shed some more light on how to solve this issue. I will say that it was VERY hard for me to wire tie the 4 black cables. I will get a short video to show what is happening. Thanks guys, im goin to sleep now.
Hey everyone.
Ive been doing alot of work on this oven, and its been very frustrating. I fixed the isue of blowing the breaker by adding a second switch and plug so now I can keep it on for as long as I need it to. I am still having an the issue of only the center coils heating up, and I mean it glows and is very hot. I cant seem to figure out why the other wires wont either. I am thinking that maybe the nichrome wire somewhere is just not connceting or something. I still have to run some tests to see whats wrong.
Im really hoping to figure this out soon and get it working 100%, but the dealine of May 1st is just next week!
(I can at least make some smores off of it right now)

Anyone out ther have any experience with this strain? I have only had various types of italians,or feral italians, so far and am curious about different varieties. Also a list of suppliers who would mail these is greatly appreciated.
Did you notice the "minimal chemical application"? Sounds all well and good but right now there are people using no chemicals, none, zip, zero, nadda, but no one wants to listen.
And woouldn't it be great to start somewhere in the reduction of chemical intake?
Everyone repeat after me... :arrow: Small Cell Foundation, Small Cell Foundation, Small Cell Foundation. :!:
not all ferals were whiped out!
. I said this some where here that how do we know it was the mites that reduced ferals? Did any one go around finding all the dead outs and determine what wiped them out? Could have been a bad year for nector, queens dying at a bad time, cold/wet, fires, pesticides, etc etc.

A little while ago we took a look at the Cimo S-Line Back Case for the Nokia Lumia 920. This go around we're focusing in on the same Cimo case but one fitted for the HTC 8X.
The Cimo S-Line Back Case is a skin styled case that wraps around the HTC 8X to protect it mostly from nicks and scrapes. The case may protect the 8X from some bumps but I wouldn't count on it to protect the Windows Phones from drops of any height. There's just not enough to the Cimo case to add any cushion to things.

Arsenal are 5/11 with GunnersGaming to bounce back to winning ways against West Brom at Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners have won just three of their last 10 home games in the league, and have not won in four in all competitions.
West Brom have never kept a clean sheet in their 12 Premier League games against Arsenal - conceding 28 goals in total - and in the last five league games between the pair at the Emirates, the visitors have only been victorious on one occasion, with Arsenal winning the corresponding fixture last season 3-0.
A repeat of that outcome is 31/4, while 3-1 is a 21/2 chance.
Over 2.5 goals also looks a distinct possibility and is priced up at 9/14.
If that is to be the case then the 23/20 on offer with GunnersGaming about over 2.5 goals and a home win could represent some real value.
Oliver Giroud's aerial presence in the box could cause the West Brom defence all sorts of problems and he is 9/2 to get the opener and 6/5 to score anytime.

Beegie Adair
Adair grew up in Cave City, Kentucky, where she began taking piano lessons at age five. She continued to study piano throughout college, earning a B.S. in Music Education at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green. During and after college, she played in jazz bands, and spent three years teaching music to children before moving to Nashville, where she became a session musician, working at WSM-TV and on The Johnny Cash Show (1969-1971). She and her husband also started a jingle company to write music for commercials.
In 1982, she and saxophonist Denis Solee formed the Adair-Solee Quartet, which evolved into the Be-Bop Co-Op, a jazz sextet. In 1998, she released Escape to New York, her first trio-led date with a rhythm section consisting of Bob Cranshaw and Gregory Hutchinson.
She signed to the fledgling Hillsboro label for 2001's Dream Dancing: The Songs of Cole Porter; bassist Roger Spencer and drummer Chris Brown joined her. Dream Dancing was the first of dozens of themed albums devoted to songwriters and singers. In 2002, she was named a Steinway Artist.
Most of Adair's recordings have been issued by the independent jazz label Green Hill Productions. They include 2008's Yesterday: A Solo Piano Tribute to the Music of the Beatles, 2010's Swingin' with Sinatra, and 2012's The Real Thing (which spent 20 weeks on the jazz charts and was chosen one of the year's best 100 jazz albums). In 2015, her trio collaborated with saxophonist Don Aliquo on Too Marvelous for Words.
Since 2011, Adair and her trio have played Birdland in New York. While visiting, they have often collaborated with vocalist Monica Ramey. In the spring of 2016, that partnership bore fruit on the album Some Enchanted Evening. ~ William Ruhlmann

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|ASE Doc
|Whatever was sticking must have broken loose. That's always good. One product I have had great luck with that helps keep things lubed up and prevents sticky valves is Lubeguard Red. Others may chime in on this but Ive used it in every GM transmission Ive ever had apart. I even used it to unstick the 1-2 valvetrain on a 700R4 that was having trouble shifting out of first. You may want to add a bottle to your fluid.
Last Update:
Somehow it is all working now! All good, for now! Thanks everyone
|ASE Doc
|I have always used transmission assembly lube and ATF for assembly. Trans jel as the assembly lube is also known is a thick, tacky grease that works great for sticking thrust washers in place so that they don't drop out of place during assembly. I understand that petroleum jelly also works well for this. The thing that would concern me about using any other material is how quickly that material dissolves in ATF. I would think that you need to use a product that dissolves almost instantly. Otherwise, you will have globs of the material clogging orifices and sticking valves.
|Good News! The sprag was the problem. Now I have another problem. First the transmission was shifting just fine, then it wouldnlt leave first. Then after a couple WOT runs it finally went into 2nd, then repeated the prcoess for 3rd and OD. I have a feeling that the TV cable and/or the small amount of engine assembly lube I used to retain the balls in the valve body while assembling have something to do with this. My last resort is going to be a bad valve body.
Clean the v-body. DO not remove all valves at once. Do not flip over the aluminum sleeves , watch how they come out and where pins install. Some folks re-install incorrectly.
ALL shift valves must move fully for the trans to operate - shift correctly
As far as I understand, no it will not cause a no 1st issue since it is tucked away between the forward and 3-4 clutches. I am assuming that the sprag is free-wheeling in the direction that it should be locked to make forward movement. This could also be the reason that I can not get any 3rd gear action in the "D" gear selector position (not overdrive). The transmission gets from 1-2 no problem but holds 2nd no matter what I try and "OD" just acts like neutral.
Basically it is acting like the opposite of what it should.
|ASE Doc
|Lol. It's funny you mention the forward sprag. I had mine apart for cleaning and had to go back and check it later to be sure I had it right. That would cause problems wouldn't it. But wouldn't that cause no 1st gear? Im not sure. Hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in here.
|Thanks for the suggestions. I am hoping that it is the Input Assembly Sprag that is causing all of these problems. I may have taken it apart and put it together backwards. Should have an answer in a day or two!
|ASE Doc
|I am a novice when it comes to transmissions. I have my own 700R4 torn down right now and have a question posted here concerning some performance mods I'm considering. Having said that, one thing I can think of that might cause your trouble would be a stuck 2-3 shift valve train. This is a valve set in the valve body and it may have debri stuck in it from the 3-4 clutch failure. There could also be a check ball out of place I suppose. The 2nd clutch and 3rd clutch check balls are the two close together, about the center of the separator plate. These are just slightly educated guesses.
700R4 troubles
Hello everyone!
I will keep this short. I have a 1990 K1500 4x4. The 700R4 lost 3rd-4th randomly one day. I pulled the transmission and ordered an ATSG manual along with a rebuild kit from TransTec.
My conclusion was the the 3-4 clutches were toast along with the input drum piston seal (common problem I hear). I made use of all the information floating about the internet.
Now here is the problem:
After the rebuild I installed the transmission and got a similar problem that I started with.
Rev: Very Strong
1st: Very Strong
2nd: Very Strong
3rd: Won't Shift Into
4th: Won't Shift Into
I have adjusted the TV cable with no luck. When I place the gear selector into "OD" I get no response from the transmission (like it's still in Neutral). When I shift to "D" it will engage.
During the test drive it will shift from 1-2 no problem but when it comes time for 3rd gear to engage the transmission does nothing but hold 2nd gear. If i let off the throttle it will engine brake (like it was in "2" at high RPM's).
I am looking for any and every possible problem. So far my list of things to check are:
Servo - bad 3/4 seals (although all new), possibly assembled wrong?
Pump - has something in it for the 3-4 shift
3-4 Accumulator - This seemed fine during reassembly
Input Drum & Pump Seals - I ended up using the scarf cut seals.
Input Drum - I did air test the piston, seemed fine. I did have some confusion with all the steels since all the plates feel out of order during disassembly. Clearances measured out in the end.
Sprag/Low & Reverse Roller - Pretty sure that I got these installed correctly (the Low & Reverse Roller for sure).
Valve Body: Didn't check every item on it. I am sure the check balls are installed in the right locations.
Any and all help is appreciated by this veteran! Cheers!

Ford's C-Max Hybrid, Fusion Hybrid to Get EPA Review Following Fuel Economy Complaints
Tiffany Kaiser
December 10, 2012 12:15 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Consumer Reports Said Ford's 47 mpg claim is too high for both vehicles
There are questions regarding
Ford's C-Max Hybrid
and Fusion Hybrid's advertised 47 mpg, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intends to check it out.
Ford's C-Max Hybrid and Fusion Hybrid both show an estimated 47 mpg, but
Consumer Reports
recently pointed out that neither are living up to the automaker's claims. According to its testing, the C-Max Hybrid received 35/38/37 mpg for city/highway/combined. For the Fusion Hybrid, it found 35/41/39 mpg for city/highway/combined.
"Yes, the disclaimer on EPA fuel-economy labels notes that your results may differ," said
Consumer Reports
. "But the overall mpg for these C-Max and Fusion models is off by a whopping 10 and 8 mpg, respectively, or about 20 percent. Our overall-mpg results are usually pretty close to the EPA's combined-mpg estimate. Among current models, more than 80 percent of the vehicles we've tested are within 2 mpg."
2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid
Ford responded to the claims, saying that mileage varies among hybrids.
"Early C-Max Hybrid and Fusion Hybrid customers praise the vehicles and report a range of fuel economy figures, including some reports above 47 mpg," said Ford spokesman Wes Sherwood. "This reinforces the fact that driving styles, driving conditions and other factors can cause mileage to vary."
While all vehicles must undergo the EPA test for fuel efficiency, the test isn't actually administered by the government agency. Instead, automakers perform the test and the EPA reviews it. In many cases, factors like temperature and speed result in gas mileage being lower than the EPA sticker.
2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid
Ford's testing found 47 mpg overall for both vehicles, and while it's common for the EPA to review such claims and discover a variation in gas mileage,
Consumer Reports
complained that this is a pretty big gap between Ford's findings and its own.
The EPA said it will "look at the report and data."
Back in December 2011,
Consumer Watchdog
called on the EPA to investigate Hyundai over its fuel economy claims. Hyundai claimed that its Elantra achieved 29 MPG in the city and 40 MPG on highway. However, the organization received a higher-than-usual number of complaints that real-world mileage was in the mid-20 mpg range.
From there, the EPA investigated Hyundai for misleading mileage claims and found that the fuel economy estimates of most of its 2012-2013 models were inflated. The same goes for Kia. Both Kia and Hyundai will be lowering the fuel economy estimates on the majority of their 2012 to 2013 models after EPA testing discovered a gap between its data and what both of the companies are claiming.
Hyundai and Kia admitted to overstating the estimated fuel economy on window stickers of about 900,000 vehicles sold since late 2010. Reports show that Hyundai alone
could spend $100 million
trying to fix the fiasco.

"This Constantly Pulsating Fear"—Feingold Talks FISA with Brian Beutler
Living up to predictions by Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold of "the caving of very large numbers of Democrats [on] an awful piece of legislation," the Senate remains poised to pass the Protect America Act (PAA) in a form that will allow telephone companies and internet providers immunity from prosecution for forking over consumer information to government spymasters. The bill confers immunity that would be retroactive to the first days of a warrantless spying program originated by the Bush administration following the 9/11 attacks. In an interview with The Media Consortium's Brian Beutler, Feingold attributed Democrats' weakness to "this constantly pulsating fear of being accused of being soft on terrorism." More »

Thread: Lost my job
Going back to school with a family is the roughest thing that anyone should have to endure, but it can be done. My wife and I did it at the same time with three children, and the fourth was due during final exam week of our third semester. (thank god he was a week and a half late) During that time there were instances that I was working two part time jobs and side jobs and my wife, bless her heart, was working a full time job and overtime (even when she was pregnant).
However, in two years for her and four years for myself, she is now a registered nurse and I am now a Structrual Design Civil Engineer and Construction Manager. There were times that family and college faculty tried to discourage us. We were told that we would never make it, but now life is great and we have a solid future ahead of us and know that after that we can make it through everything.
Be sure that you get into a field that you enjoy though. There were several people there that didn't know what the field involved, and dropped out because they hated going to classes that didn't interest them. Don't shop for a career with the highest starting salary or greatest raise rate, find something that involves what you enjoy. Even find people to talk to about the fields.
I started out an Electrical Engineer until a councilor asked about my favorite classes in High School and I said Architectural Studies and Math. So, that is when I changed and am so thankful I did, do not underestimate the power of the advisors. Follow your heart, but also realize that they have a wealth of knowledge to be tapped.
Finally, if you are married and have a family sit down and establish a plan and let the children know what is going on. With the wife, or on your own, start a Budget and begin using it as soon as possible to get used to it. Older children should be made to realize that extras will have to begin to be earned by either household work or, if they are old enough, there own job.
But, most importantly, and always remember this, the Company Mead Five Star makes a hunter green stretchy book cover that I used when studing while I hunted. You will have to sacrifice a lot, but remind the wife that the Venson will off set some grocery bills so technically you are working. Seriously though sitting in the woods reading is sometimes more effective than the library because it is so peaceful.
Good Luck and Best Wishes

Get a Degree
1. Get a degree because HR people use the degee/no degree as a sorting tool so they don't have to look at so many people.
2. If you apply somewhere while you're working on it, that will also get some recognition because it shows your commitment to self-development.
3. A degree in some area of business/commerce will usually qualify you for most entry-level business positions.
4. Getting a degree on a part-time basis requires hard work and real commitment (see #2). Both you and your spouse have to sign up for it because you will both have to work out the sharing of home duties and child care responsibilities. It's a sacrifice, no question.
5. Most business majors share common courses in the first or second year. Your experience may help you learn that you like or don't do well in some subjects.
6. You may be able to find study groups that will help in difficult subjects. That can really help out if you're struggling in something like Statistics.
7. The people you'll meet in night school are really great people because they're all trying to do the same thing you're doing.
Good luck,
Bill T
If you were there 11 yrs and have a union then you should have some backing. There should of been a rep in that meeting when they let you go. They should of also of given you time to consult a union rep and have them get you a lawyer to make them prove any accusations. And you should still be able to do that thru that union if there is one. Going back to school never hurts. Knowledge is power. The more knowledge you can get the more powerful you will be to have control over your life.

In today's economy, many budget-conscious consumers have turned to stores that sell used merchandise.
And Minneapolis-based Winmark Corp. is stepping in to meet the growing demand.
Winmark operates four resale store concepts. The company plans to open at least five locations in the San Gabriel Valley over the next three to five years.
Winmark is shopping for entrepreneurs interested in owning resale shops. They plan to open at least two Plato's Closet locations, one Play It Again Sports location, one Once Upon A Child location and one Music Go Round location.
The company is eyeing potential locations in Covina, West Covina, Monrovia, Temple City, Altadena, Arcadia and El Monte.
"We're 100 percent franchised," said Peter First, Winmark's director of franchise development. "We have over 960 locations altogether. We've been doing this since before anyone knew it was cool. People love it. It's a great service."
Plato's Closet buys and sells brand-name apparel, shoes and accessories aimed to teens and twenty-somethings. Plato's has more than 330 franchised locations in the U.S and Canada.
Once Upon A Child buys and resells used children's clothing, toys and equipment. This concept has nearly 250 locations in the U.S. and Canada.
Play It Again Sports buys and sells quality sports equipment and gear, with nearly 330 franchised stores in the U.S. and Canada.
Music Go Round buys, sells and trades used and new musical gear such as guitars, drums, keyboards, sound equipment and accessories. It has more than 30 franchised stores in the U.S. and an internationally used inventory website.
While many businesses close their doors every day, resale stores have remained healthy and continue to be one of the fastest growing segments of retail, according to The Association of Resale Professionals.
First Research estimates that the resale industry in the U.S. generates annual revenues of about $13 billion.
First said Winmark's clothing stores sell gently used apparel. It's the same clothes a consumer might see in a traditional retail store but priced at about 70 percent off.
The company's Play it Again Sports stores are especially popular, he said.
"Parents will sometimes cut way back on their own sports but they never cut back on their kids," he said. "We like to catch them when they're 4, 5 and 6 years old and carry them all the way through school and their college careers."
One Play it Again Sports location is already in operation at 3640 E. Colorado Blvd. in Pasadena. The company also has a Once Upon a Child store at 2607 Foothill Blvd. in La Crescenta.
First said the music stores have also proven to be a success.
"If you are a musician, you know that you love to change things up and are always looking for different things," he said. "And for someone who knows a little about the music business or maybe has a business background, this is a great franchise opportunity. We work a lot with schools and local communities."
Winmark is a publicly held company. In 2011, it generated $14.09 million in profit, up from 10.3 million the previous year and $5.8 million in 2009.

Help me decide on a new gun to get! Whats the pros and cons on both guns?
These two guns are completely different. StickToDrum is right, you can't compare these! Of course the Axe is better! Etha isn't an Axe, obviously if you're going to buy an Etha or an Axe, buy an Axe.

That aside, they're both quite easy to maintain, and about equally efficient.
Either way, they're great shooters and I know people who swear by both.
Using a gun that's been hardly maintained and tossed from person to person more than a village whore is hardly a fair way to compare the marker.
Posted 13 January 2013 - 08:21 AM
As for shot quality I have shot and axe once and while it shoots smoother then the etha it's not a difference you would notice on the field. The etha is still very good.
And as for price I think the etha would be the way to go espicially because its only 350 on ans gear
It's close but i voted etha

bosspaintballproducts.com + an axe = one happy camper I'd say the axe is a superior marker, minus the ergonomics.

The Axe is quieter, efficient, smoother, and has easy maintenance. I love the thing to death. When tuned, it shoots as good as any high end
I agree with you that the Axe is quieter, is smoother, and is a little bit more efficient then the Etha, but, as far as ease of maintenance I would definitely have to go with the Etha. The reason being is if you have something wrong with the regulator or the macroline you do not have to take apart the grip frame to fix it, I also believe the Etha is a little bit more durable than the Axe only because I have never seen a video of somebody throwing the Axe down a gravel path or dunking it under water in a stream and still having it work. Unfortunately I have never owned or even shot the Axe however I do own the Etha so to be honest I am really not the best person to compare the two until I have at least shot the Axe.
Posted 17 January 2013 - 02:52 PM
Hustle Paintball came out with this video a while back. They bring up a lot of good points so I would suggest giving it a watch. Any reason's you're looking at the Etha over the Etek? If you're wanting an enclosed bolt I can understand, but just curious.

lol isn't every review at least a little biased? Every player who knows something about the sport and how equipment functions has at least some preconceived bias. I'm biased, you're biased, Mike is biased, and so are the people from Hustlepb.bias review is bias
Is the video informative? YES
Is everything they say pure gospel? not quite
To the OP: as I said before, the Axe is a great gun if you like the way it feels. Maybe I'm just weird, but I'm not at all impressed with its ergonomics; therefore I saw no point in spending the extra money on a gun that felt funky in my hands and only performed marginally better than the competition. (Yeah, there's my bias showing up. Deal with it.)
Using a gun that's been hardly maintained and tossed from person to person more than a village whore is hardly a fair way to compare the marker.
Posted 17 January 2013 - 11:45 PM
Similar price, in-line poppits (kind of) and from two good companies with good customer service - that is where the comparisons end....
Think of the ETHA as a really nice $300 entry level marker with a 150 worth of upgrades. It has a lot of nice features, but the basic platform is lacking, not smooth shooting and way too much cheap looking and crapy feeling plastic.
The AXE is a solid mid-range marker, maybe even a stripped down high-end. That is to say, the basic platform is solid and it has the potential to really perform with a few selected upgrades. Stock the AXE shoots smooth, it is reliable and efficient too. The trigger is about the best in the mid-range class and the ASA is solid too. The magic of the AXE is how it is transformed with only a few minor upgrades and some tuning, once done, no marker in this class can touch the AXE for smooth, quiet shots and magnificent efficiency . Mine is so efficient , I purchased a 45/4500 and never use my 68/4500 anymore.
Good luck!
My Markers:
CCM T2 (x2), CCM Series 5 (x4), CCM Series 6, CCM SS-25 (x2), Bob Long MVP, WGP Karnivor Sniper, WGP '03 Vertical Feed Sniper, WGP '05 Black Magic Sniper, WGP 2K RF Sniper, FreeFlow Lotus Sniper, CCI Phantom, Palmer Blazer, Empire AXE.

Emerald Ash Borer Confirmed in Story County
Two Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) larvae collected by a homeowner from a residential tree in Story City and have been positively identified as EAB by a federal identifier. Story County is the 13th confirmed infestation in the state.
A statewide quarantine restricting the movement of hardwood firewood, ash logs, wood chips and ash tree nursery stock out of Iowa into non-quarantined areas of other states was issued on Feb. 4, 2014 and remains in place.
"We continue to monitor EAB closely and the Story City infestation is the 9th confirmed infestation in Iowa during 2014. The Iowa EAB Team again reminds Iowans to not move firewood as that is the quickest way to start an infestation in a new location," said State Entomologist Robin Pruisner of the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship.
The City of Story City has inventoried the street trees in the community and working with the Story City Tree Board will continue to monitor, assess, and address ash trees. Story City will have information available for private property owners at www.cityofstorycity.org after September 1st.
Iowa EAB team provides assistance
The Iowa EAB Team provides EAB diagnostic assistance to landowners and includes officials from Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS), Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR), USDA Animal Plant Health Inspection Service and the USDA Forest Service.
The Iowa EAB Team strongly cautions Iowans not to transport firewood across county or state lines, since the movement of firewood throughout Iowa or to other states increases the risk of spreading EAB infestations. Most EAB infestations in the United States have been started by people unknowingly transporting infested firewood, nursery plants or sawmill logs. Besides being transported by vehicle, the adult beetle can also fly short distances of approximately two to five miles.
With the exception of trunk injection, the window has closed for using other preventive methods against emerald ash borer this year. Trunk injections can be done by certified pesticide applicators until Sept. 1, 2014. Other control measures (soil injection, soil drench, and basal trunk sprays) will need to wait until mid-April to mid-May 2015. This gives people the opportunity to have landscape and tree service companies to bid on work, and for the landowner to review these bids before next spring.
Please contact Iowa EAB Team members to have suspicious looking trees checked in counties not currently known to be infested. The State of Iowa will continue to track the movement of EAB on a county-by-county basis. Before a county can be officially recognized as infested, proof of a reproducing population is needed and an EAB must be collected and verified by USDA entomologists. To learn more about EAB and other pests that are threatening Iowa's tree population, please visitwww.IowaTreePests.com.

Women's Basketball Entertains No. 18/21 Purdue on Wednesday
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay women's basketball team wraps up a three-game homestand before breaking for the holidays as it welcomes No. 18/21 Purdue to the Kress Events Center on Wednesday evening at 7 p.m.
Welcoming a ranked opponent to the Kress Center for the first time since the 2009-10 season, the game will be televised locally on Time Warner Cable SportsChannel 32/1332 HD. It will also be available nationwide on ESPN3 and through the Horizon League Network.
Fans can listen live to the game on Green Bay's new radio partner, WNFL 1440 AM. The live audio with Bruce VandenPlas on the call will also be available for free via GreenBayPhoenix.com or on the Green Bay Phoenix App on IOS and Android devices.
Wednesday's contest marks the first-ever meeting between the Phoenix and the Boilermakers. Green Bay is 24-39 all-time against members of the Big Ten conference, and after Wednesday's game the Phoenix will have faced all current members of the conference minus Northwestern. Green Bay has faced three new opponents this season (Duquesne, Siena, William and Mary), going 3-0 against the competition.
With back-to-back losses against South Dakota State and Wichita State, Green Bay finds itself in unfamiliar territory. Over the past 10 seasons the Phoenix has lost consecutive games just five times, with the last happening during the 2009-10 season. With both of those losses coming at home, the Phoenix saw a streak of 19-consecutive wins come to an end against South Dakota State, and now has consecutive home losses for the first time since 2008-09.
Sophomore Kaili Lukan (Barrie, Ontario) leads the Phoenix averaging 11.0 points/game, while senior Breannah Ranger (Skokie, Ill.) has a team-best 7.4 rebounds. Freshman Tesha Buck (Red Wing, Minn.) is coming off of her third-consecutive Horizon League Freshman of the Week honor, and currently leads the team in assists (4.1), steals (1.7) and minutes played (31.8) per game.
Purdue comes into Wednesday's contest with an overall record of 7-2, most recently defeating Kansas on the road on Sunday (71-68). Both of the Boilermakers losses this season have come at the hands of ranked opponents: then-No. 6 Stanford (69-86) and then-No. 2 Duke (78-99). Purdue is led by senior Courtney Moses, who is averaging 15.2 points points/game. Redshirt senior KK Houser is right behind with 14.6 points/game and a team-best 5.1 assists/game and 2.8 steals/game, while junior Liza Clemons leads the team averaging 6.0 rebounds/game.
1. Unfamiliar Territory: With back-to-back losses, Green Bay finds itself in unfamiliar territory. Over the past 10 seasons, the Phoenix has lost consecutive games just five times, with the last happening during the 2009-10 season. With both of those losses coming at home, the Phoenix saw a streak of 19-consecutive wins come to an end against South Dakota State, and now has consecutive home losses for the first time since 2008-09.
2. Taking on the Top 25: Green Bay will be facing a ranked opponent for the first time this season when Purdue comes to town on Wednesday. Against ranked opponents, Green Bay is 6-23 all-time and 1-14 under head coach Kevin Borseth. Of those six wins, two have come at home.
3. Three-Peat: Freshman Tesha Buck is making quite an impact in her first season with the Phoenix. Named the Horizon League Freshman of the Week on Monday after posting a game- and career-high 17 points and seven rebounds against Wichita State, she is now the only freshman in the conference to average double-digit scoring (10.3) while also leading the league with a 2.9 assist/turnover ratio. She also leads the Phoenix in assists per game (4.1), steals per game (1.7), minutes played (31.8) and free throw percentage (13-18, 72.2%).
4. Turnover Totals: Despite committing more turnovers than its opponent for the first time this season against Wichita State, Green Bay still owns a conference-low 14.7 turnovers per game while forcing its competition into 20.3 turnovers per game, a differential of +5.7. The +5.7 differential currently ranks 21st in the nation. Forcing turnovers while taking care of the ball has been a staple of the Green Bay defense under Borseth, as last season the Phoenix commited more turnovers than its opponents in just five of its 32 games.
5. Hold 'em Down: Green Bay has held its opponents to an average of 55.9 points per game this season, the lowest total in the conference and the 19th best average in the nation. The competition has scored more than 60 points on just three occasions this season, which happen to be the only losses on the Phoenix schedule (St. Bonaventure, South Dakota State and Wichita State).

We will no longer be offering a free internet and printing service, so the number of computers in the public space has been reduced down to one table – leaving two new tables full of interesting specimens to touch and explore. It has been lovely this morning to see family groups coming through and engaging with these collection objects that are at kid height!

An area with comfortable couches and seats allows for reading or informal chats with museum staff, and desk space with power points gives those with their own devices a place to plug in, charge up, and connect to the free museum wifi (just look for "museumpublic").
We have a beautiful new "...ology" display being installed up the back of the centre – when that is finished, we'll have a row of cases each devoted to a different discipline from the natural and earth sciences.

Not everything is new, of course; we still have cases with skulls, spiders, worked stone tools – these collections have proven very useful over the years, allowing enquirers to do some of their own identification and investigation. And we - the intrepid Discovery Centre staff – are still here, ready to take your questions big or small! The Discovery Centre's new operating hours are 10am-4.30pm, Tuesday to Saturday. However, we're still available to take your questions online 24/7, at our Ask the Experts page.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.
Updates on what's happening at Melbourne Museum, the Immigration Museum, Scienceworks, the Royal Exhibition Building, and beyond.
Thanks Caitlin for your keen eyes - we are on to it, hopefully the updated information will be published on the next scheduled page refresh

Short answer. Yes. Everybody has bad days at the range but that don't mean you forgot how to shoot. Practice and more practice is what will give you the edge over a BG. Remember a bad day at the range is still better than a good day at work. Good Shooting.
Best, Baldy..

So we are at the 6 month and 3 week mark since I applied (as you know)...
My wife got a phone call from the Investigator yesterday.
The message said "yeah, this is officer X and I'm just checking to see if it's ok with you that your husband gets a pistol...my number is xxx and you can just leave a message with your response if you don't get me....all that's left is to call his Principal and we can get this thing wrapped up.".
So neither of my references have been called....and my wife and (black, female, young) Principal are basically the ones who decide (based on their responses)
Is this crazy or what?

State orders review of Castro suicide
(Columbus) –The Director of the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction has commissioned a review team to analyze the death of inmate Ariel Castro Tuesday night at the Correctional Reception Center in Orient.
Castro was found hanging in his cell at approximately 9:20 p.m. and was pronounced dead at 10:52 p.m. at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
This review team, chaired by Ed Banks, DRC's Managing Director of Organizational Development, will include professionals from DRC's legal, medical, mental health, security and operational divisions who are knowledgeable of DRC's policies and procedures but who were not directly involved with the incident.
Such reviews are part of DRC's protocol in the wake of such incidents. Director Gary Mohr has requested that it be completed by the end of the month.
The review is in addition to a separate, independent investigation being conducted by the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
In addition, pursuant to DRC's protocol, a mortality review has begun by credentialed DRC medical and mental health professionals to thoroughly review all pertinent medical and mental health care records concerning inmate Castro and information surrounding the incident.
These professionals will determine whether applicable policies and procedures concerning the delivery of medical and mental health care were followed for inmate Castro.
Castro was admitted to prison on August 2, 2013, and was placed in protective custody, a level of custody maintained for certain inmates that entails housing them in a single-occupancy cell and keeping them under close watch, with corrections officers making security rounds at staggered 30-minute intervals.
