Re: 1964 Corvair Monza - Operation Crustbuster
I am sorry to all the members for this marathon post.
Now, Lupin...
First, thank you for the compliment, but I am no expert on Corvair values.
Generally, as to buying anyone's restoration project there are general things to keep in mind. The $6000,00 invested sounds nice. However, he could have started with a basket case and that could be why it is such a high amount and still not in beautiful condition. You know what floor board cost, imagine doing both rockers and four fenders. The cost of the NOS parts are high. Does it add any value to your use for the car? Would you be happier with the 4 NOS tail lights than you would with 4 OK looking originals, or 4 from the junkyard? He could have had them plated in gold and he would have 7000.00 in the car, still not worth more to me.
For someone who wants to put it in judged competition it would be wise to use NOS parts, for someone like me who wants a fun nice looking car to drive not really. If you are in love and sure you want to keep the car the rest of your life it is worth it. Otherwise for a fun driver for a few years, you would be better with a solid original with a couple pieces of a road sign welded in the couple of bad spots.
Specifically by photo things that I would question are...
1st pic...rear bumper loks more than just dusty, looks like it is scraped/scratched and dented. Rust on roof frame rail and bad or missing weatherstrip. Also white spots over right inside tail light and right hand side of licence frame on the raised body line. Most look like reflections, those don't. Wire cable sticking up in top compartment left side looks like something gone wrong with top.
2nd pic...Look at passenger foot well, looks like rust in body to floor joint. Also around floor fresh air vent in kick panel.
3rd pic...Can't fault the body lines, they are beautiful.
4th pic...Again the scuff on reised body line above inside tail light,doubt it is reflecting the same spot from a different angle, also front floor board center looks rusty, how bad?
5th pic...Looks fine down the line.
6th pic..Floor looks better than I expected, would still like to scrape/poke it to be sure. Interior looks stunning as the body work and paint. corner above wing window looks pitted and bad.
7th pic...vent window handle, horn ring, and seat side strips look pitted. Feeling better about floor as we get closer pictures. Horn button and window weatherstrip? Come with new?
8th pic...Both top end of windshield trim look bad as does glove box chrome. Floor again looks better with close up.
9th pic...Nothing to fault here. Beautiful body and paint.
10th pic...That rusty hinge still bugs me. Seems like an odd spot.I have had cars rust out from under me and still looked factory fresh on trunk hinge. Otherwise cant see anything wrong, can't see anything period with undercoat?
11th pic...waste of a pic?
12th pic...This one bothers me and makes me question all the body work. I am admittedly a hack body man and have no talent or training....even I would have treated rust inside the air intake/exhaust holes, sanded smooth the area around them, and not painted the hood spring and rubber bumpers. Sloppy and not fitting of the NOS parts and rest of the great paint work.
13th pic...
14th pic...Just the engine. I cant believe you would be doing all that work and not even wipe it down a little. Is the engine the original? Maybe to sell car he swapped in a turd and kept the one he was going to use?
15th pic...If engine is the original it tells a story of the whole car. looks like parked in a field for a long time before resto.
16th pic...Paint flaking off of the drivers side! Why? Bad prep?
17th pic...Again I would like to see a photo of what he started with. How long and how poorly stored is a car to have the engine look like this? More paint flaws around lip of hood.
18th pic...? Don't know why this is here. The sine on his shoes?
So those are the things I see and the questions I have about them. If I could be assured of positive answers (that I believed) to all these concerns, I would be interested personally at no more than $2500.00 trade. That would be if all the parts I pointed out were included if missing or damaged, or turned out to be good when I thought they were bad. You could easily have another 1000-1500 to get it on the road and right. Looking at the engine condition would make me concerned about all of the running gear. If the underside looks like that engine think brakes, lines, bushings, tie rod ends, etc. etc....
I think you could do better finding a good driver quality one or a completed resto that is old and showing a little wear, or one with a bad engine that they don't want to repair. I am just not comfortable with this one, It just "feels" wrong to me.It is free to look, and you may crawl under it and find it is beautiful under it. If that were the case stretch to 3000 if you like it. Or just keep looking.

Re: 1964 Corvair Monza - Operation Crustbuster
Oh Jeez. So much has happened. I will have to upload the photos later. Ray (Stingroo) and I actually wound up driving to North Carolina to check out the red car. It really checked out in person. All the body work was solid and the car looked great. I made a deal on it and arranged for it to be transported. When I got it up on the lift, though. I saw where the good body work stopped. The floor. However, everything else was SUPER solid, fresh work, done by inmates in a North Carolina correctional facility. I have been working with a hostile shop owner that let me use his lift, presumably in exchange for free labour and endless drama. Oh, and the guy who sold me the car lied about pretty much everything on it. I was told I was getting a 110hp 4 speed car. I wound up with a 95hp 3 speed car. I am going to keep the 95hp engine, as they actually develop power a LOT earlier than 110 engines. I sourced a 4 speed trans though.

Re: 1964 Corvair Monza - Operation Crustbuster
Yeah Nader was a jerk (still is). I loved it when he opposed repairing pot holes on the interstates because they forced drivers to slow down. But the pre-64 Corvair was significantly less safe than most cars (including early 911s) at the limits of cornering grip if the driver lets off the gas or uses the brakes. I know. I road raced a '62 until it ended up in a tree (not from said affliction). The '60-'63 had a swing axle with no articulation at the outer end. So when the rear of the car raised up, the tire took a sever positive camber. The '64 and 2nd gens kept the tires parallel with the road and were much easier to drive at the limits.
I haven't read the rest of this thread. Do you still have the car? It was risky driving one in the days before self serve. An instructor at my high school had one destroyed when a filling station attendant filled the crank case with water. The oil filler is at the very back of the engine and looked much like a radiator cap. At least enough to fool a rookie attendant. - 05-12-13 01:21 AM #128
Re: 1964 Corvair Monza - Operation Crustbuster
Ralph Nader's organization once sued my mother and Sunkist Growers for using the name "Ralph" for a large purple dinosaur character that was developed by my mother and the company to be used in a nutrition education program. Eventually the lawsuit was dropped (I wonder why?!) and the dinosaur diud his thing for American school children. Later the same dinosaur, under a new name, became a star of children's day time television.
Ralph Nader chose not to attack Volkswagen and their Beetles for the same dangerous handling characteristics because, let's face it, his supporters, both verbally and financially were VW drivers of both the Bug and the Bus. Nader knew enough not to bite the hand that keeps you in business. Going after big bad GM was far more acceptable and fashionable then just as it is today. - 05-14-13 09:28 AM #129

44 years ago today, the last Corvair rolled off the line! Happy(?) Anniversary!
Re: 1964 Corvair Monza - Operation Crustbuster
Awesome factoid! I'm uploading the images now, and will get to writing up the story of what's happened thus far. Dave! Never a pest. That manual you've sent me has been so much help. You've been more of an inspiration, keep on egging me on, man! I've got enough nay-sayers. A cheerleader is always good.

Re: 1964 Corvair Monza - Operation Crustbuster
Re: 1964 Corvair Monza - Operation Crustbuster
Actually, the biggest change for '64 was the addition of a joint at the outside of the rear axles, which gave control over camber during wheel travel. The '60-'63s MY rear wheels stayed perpendicular to the axle so as the car leaned, the outside camber decreased (good to a point) and the inside camber increased in direct proportion to the angle of the axle. This kept more rubber on the road (particularly on the inside) and made the transitions more manageable. It also kept the rear lower in corners since the leverage point ended at the outside joint instead of the outside of the wheel. I won a lot of races in my '62 mostly on dirt roads; the paved roads were trickier because the Gs were higher which meant more lean which meant trickier rear handling.

Violin theft case offers lesson for gun registration
Recovering the violin so quickly was certainly impressive ("Stolen Stradivarius found in suitcase in Bay View attic," Feb. 7).
The key to that recovery, it seems, was law enforcement's ability to track the ownership of the stun gun that was used to injure the concertmaster, Frank Almond. Fortunately for Almond, the owner of the violin, and the insurance company that had insured it, a stun gun, rather than a handgun, was the weapon of choice. Had a revolver been used and discarded in the same manner as was the stun gun, the trail to the perpetrators might have ended at the scene. And, thankfully, Almond escaped with "minor" injuries.
Even those who oppose the registration of lethal weapons must admit that, at least in this case, it was that registration that apparently helped in breaking the case. So I ask, if registration of stun guns is required by law, how is it that revolvers can be purchased with only proof of identity?
Aren't the gun rights advocates able to connect the dots? And if they are so blinded by their convictions, where are our legislators? Aren't they elected vowing to protect the public welfare? They seem perfectly willing to legislate women's right to bear children, or not, but they run and hide when they are asked how they stand on the right to own a gun, regardless of one's background or mental deposition.
But then I am still reeling from the fact that even after the Sandy Hook massacre, we were unable to convince gun owners that something has to be done. If we are lucky, more criminals will choose the stun gun as their weapon of choice. If they do, we will catch more of them and fewer innocent children will die from gunshot wounds.
Jerry Hennes
Failing logic
The logic that some people use to support their positions on current issues often baffles me. Here are two examples.
In her Feb. 8 letter, Gayle B. Smith cites her experience in riding streetcars in the 1930s, '40s and part of the '50s as an argument against the downtown rail transit proposal: "riding a streetcar wasn't as smooth or quiet as a bus" ("Problems with previous streetcars," Your Views). This logic ignores the substantial technological advancements in both automobiles and trains during the past 60 years. Just as 2014 cars are much improved from those of the 1950s, so is rail transit. As one who has used light rail in other communities, I can assure Smith that the ride is very smooth and a great deal quieter than a bus. A visit to cities such as Minneapolis, St. Louis and Portland, Ore., where rail transit has proven to be successful is advised.
The second example pertains to the Feb. 9 article on suburban tax support for cultural attractions ("Not just about Milwaukee"). In arguing against tax support, Shawn Lundie, chief of staff to Waukesha County Executive Dan Vrakas, states that Waukesha County residents who don't attend such events shouldn't have to pay for them.
Using that logic, people without children in the public school system shouldn't be taxed to support the schools. As someone who has never been blessed with children, I have never had a problem paying school taxes since I believe that a good public school system contributes to the common good and the vitality of a community or region.
Cultural attractions, such as the Milwaukee Public Museum, Miller Park and the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts contribute to the quality of life as well.
Dennis Sell
Barrett right on rail
The suburb of Mount Prospect, Ill., has an indoor depot for rail travelers going to work. On the return Friday night, drinks are served. Illinois also has a rail system running in the center of the freeway.
Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett has the right idea of getting people out of their monster cars. Wisconsin tore up its rail system and made bike paths.
Jerome Smentek
Republican hypocrisy?
Republican state Sen. Leah Vukmir of Wauwatosa showed a new level of hypocrisy in Jim Stingl's column on parents trying to legalize the use of a new type of cannabis oil to fight seizures in children ("Cannabis oil bill gives hope for ill children," Feb. 7).
It comes from a type of marijuana that produces no appreciable "high" but has a substance that others have found can greatly reduce seizures after other treatments haven't worked. Vukmir heads the Senate health committee and has blocked a hearing on a bill to legalize medical marijuana. Now she also opposes a new bill that would only allow the special cannabis oil to be used under a doctor's care. Her comment? "The best medical practice is decided by science, not the Legislature."
But where was that reasoning when it comes to women's health issues and environmental protections, even public education? She and other Republicans seem to have no qualms about stepping in there, no matter what the experts say and no matter what the risk for the public.

First and foremost congratulations are in order for the Miami Heat. They have been criticized, laughed at, and flat out despised by most of the league. Miami did a difficult thing and that was defeat the class of the Eastern Conference in the Boston Celtics. The final score shows a Heat win by 10 points but the majority of that cushion came in the final moments when the game was decided. The series boiled down to the recurring theme of too much Dwyane Wade and LeBron James. Wade finished with 34 points (13-19 shooting), 10 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 steals. LeBron James tallied 33 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, and 5-7 from three. I list almost their entire stat lines to show the type of effort they needed to end the Celtic season with a 97-87 win. The Heat used a 16-0 run in the final 4:29 of the fourth quarter to end the Celtics turbulent season.
This game was in a lot of ways a carbon copy of Game 4. Boston clung to the lead most of the game but the sense that the other shoe was going to drop remained prevalent and inevitable. Coach Erik Spoelstra kept telling his guys to grind it out even going so far as to make churning motions with his hands on the sidelines. Wade kept the Heat in the game for 3 quarters and just wouldn't miss as Miami never trailed by more than 10. Boston finished the game shooting 49% but their offense went dormant down the stretch. AGAIN. The 16-0 run to close out the game started with a James Jones 3 pointer which would be his only points of the contest. With Boston up 87-82 with just under 4 minutes to play, a defensive lapse on a Miami fast break left Jones wide open to cut the lead down to two at 87-85. Then like an assassin waiting in the weeds LeBron unleashed a masterful 4th quarter that included a personal 10-0 James run. Boston was helpless. Let me say this and be very clear. If LeBron James continues to make contested off balanced 3′S with the shot clock winding down, the Heat will not loose another playoff game. But it was that James Jones 3 that was the catalyst. That shot opened the flood gates and clearing the path for Miami to reach the Eastern Conference Finals
Boston finished the game with the unfamiliar lineup of Delonte West, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Jeff Green, and Kevin Garnett on the floor. That inexperienced Celtic lineup scored just 14 points in the quarter. They turned the ball over multiple times and settled for jumpers instead of attacking the basket like the Heat. Miami shot 38 free throws while Boston only made it to the line 20 times. There were bad calls both ways but Miami stayed aggressive hence the nearly doubled free throw attempts. With Rajon Rondo non-aggressive due to injury and Jermaine O'neal nursing a stiff back, the Celtic sideline looked like a triage unit for most of the game. Doc Rivers was forced to deploy a lineup that was not completely made up of "his guys" as he eluded to in the post game press conference. In a way he hasn't had his guys since the trade deadline but that spilled milk has long since spoiled and no longer holds weight in an argument.
Boston's window for banner 18 is all but closed with this aging group. Doc made mention to wanting to return to coach next season after much speculation that he would take sometime off. Rivers was quick to mention this is his desire to come back was how he felt "today" so there are no guarantees. Rivers also mentioned that Boston needs to add guys. Again eluding to the fact that this current group isn't good enough. The argument of not having enough time to gel these pieces seems to fall on deaf ears. These are just the wrong pieces. Jeff Green, Glen Davis, and Nenad Krstic are all free agents and Shaquille O'neal is all but retired (so we hope). If Davis and Green want to return to this team it sure didn't show in their play over the course of this series.
How and with who will Danny Ainge replenish this weary roster? Ainge took a shot at the trade deadline and missed badly but it now falls on his shoulders to right his wrong and figure out where this proud franchise is heading next. We witnessed LeBron and Wade embrace in a way that is usually shared by teammates who won the NBA Championship as the buzzer sounded at the end of Game 5. They know what they did was not easy. The Celtics must now shift gears and play catch up to the team that will probably be the 2011 NBA Champions. I just hope Danny Ainge is taking notes.

TODAY, we had our very first ever parent/teacher conference for the triplets. It's just 4 year preschool, but I will admit to being just a tad "on edge" before the meeting. Every parent wants to go in and hear all the praises, and the "your kid's so smart", and "he's a joy to have in my class", high fives, etc. And although I didn't really expect that to happen, it was fun day dreaming that it did.
Realistically, I was just hoping my kids weren't behaving at school like they behave at home. "Please, please please tell me they are good in your class".
Did you know there is an accident report that is filled out each time a child is injured at school? I'm getting off the subject – I'll explain more about this later.
So the conference went well. I heard about how the kids interact with other students, how they follow direction…or don't. How they participate in group activities… or don't.
I received a written report detailing everything. All three are responding well during group activities, can put together a 20 or more piece puzzle, sing a 30 or more word song, etc. But the unique things that were different were as follows:
Chooses/identifies special friends.
Enjoys playing dress up.
Can swing herself
Has begun to write her name and other letters.
Spontaneously takes turns / shares
To Do/or To Work On: He will be reevaluated for speech/language. Luke needs to break away from Wade and have some independence.
Talks about his own feelings, emotions, and attitudes.
Chooses/identifies special friends.
To Do/or To Work On: He will be reevaluated for speech/language. He can use eight or more words in a sentence even though it can be unclear at times.
Just to elaborate on Wade's first point above – the teacher told me every morning they discuss what mood they are in; sad, happy, etc. Well I found out every morning when it's Wade's turn, he announces he is MAD. Then he follows that by telling everyone he is mad "because mom won't let me stay home and watch superheros." Great – he is only 4 and has already started complaining about his mom.
Now – back to the accident report. I received a phone call from the school last Wednesday. Zoe was injured on the slide. She cut her ear, it bled, they put ice on it, etc. They said she was fine and eating lunch but they wanted me to know.
When I go to pick her up, I am given an accident report to read and then sign. I am then given a copy of the accident report for my records.
I must be old, because when I was in school, or when my two oldest were in school…if there was a cut or scrape, I never heard about it until one of the kids told me. There was never an accident report. For some odd reason I find the accident report over Zoe's mild injury very humorous.
Now, here is the mystery I'm still trying to figure out. Zoe cut her ear coming down the slide. How do you cut your ear coming down a slide? You would have to be sliding down on the side of your head to do that, wouldn't you? And where she got cut is even more mysterious. It is on top right inside the ear fold. I'm clueless on this. I can't figure out how in the world this happened.
There is also the issue of her fear of bandaids. You mention a bandaid, and it is pure hysteria. So we don't mention bandaids. Bandaids is a bad word. Noooooo bandaids.
So now I sit here with my parent/teacher evaluations in front of me, ready to sign and return. Everything is quiet, kids are in bed. "Husband" is watching TV.
This is a wonderful time of the day. ;O)
Goodnight all.

As I mentioned last week, I'm reading The Happiness Project (still not entirely done with it, but I get the concept), which is as author Gretchen Rubin describes it: "an approach to changing your life." I don't necessarily want to "change my life", but it's a way to focus on what brings you joy and reminds you to nurture the things in life that make you the happiest.
Each month she focuses on a different set of resolutions: to get more sleep, clean her closets, quit complaining, sing in the morning to her daughters, start a blog, etc. What worked for her was committing to a resolution in writing and then she tracked her progress.
"Frequently reviewing your resolutions keeps them uppermost in your mind, and scoring yourself gives you visible feedback," says Rubin on her blog. "One suggestion: by framing a resolution as a concrete action ("Rent a movie once a week") instead of an abstract goal ("Have more fun") and by holding yourself accountable, you're more likely to make progress."
I have decided that this month I'm going to focus on cleaning my closets and drawers. I only have a few weeks left in January, so I better get moving.
My bedroom closet isn't what I'd call a complete disaster, but in the past year it's started to cause some anxiety for me. A little over a year ago, I moved and purged my closet. I took a HUGE box of clothes to Goodwill and felt so good after I cleared out my unnecessary "stuff".
Well, fast forward to a year later and I'm back to where I was. My drawers barely shut and my closet is packed the brim. I mean seriously, how many tank tops and camis does a girl need? If you saw my tank top/cami drawer, apparently I need 50 plus. I don't even wear half of them, so why do I have them cluttering up my space?
My mission for the rest of the month is to purge my closet, drawers, outdoor storage closet and last but not least, tackle my Tupperware cabinet. It's the one cabinet that I hate to open in my kitchen. Without fail, something will come flying at me when I open it. I need to finish what I started with when I organized on the cheap. For some reason I forgot about the dreaded Tupperware or my mind just subconsciously blocked it out.
Of course I'll be organizing on the cheap still. I'm going to utilize the 99 Cent Store storage baskets and bins and Ikea. I'll post some pictures of the befores and afters in the next few weeks.
For now, here are some inspiration pictures I've found to keep me motivated:

Refurbishing servo-drive triaxis transfer systems cost-effectively
Upgrade controls, drives, bearings without complete replacement
Upgrade transfer systems' controls, drives, and bearings without complete replacement with a refurbishment. An appliance-maker had new rail connections, new wireless electrical connection methods for part tracking, electronic torque monitoring, and new kinetics drives installed as part of its press modernization program at 75 percent of the cost of new transfers.
So, you invested in a transfer system a decade or so back. The system still works. The framing is solid. But although the bones are strong, the flesh is failing and the mind is gone!
Some parts of your transfer system are outdated or failing, and you cannot get replacements for them. Your control system was fine when you bought it, but you know that more advanced systems are out there today. You'd like to take advantage of the latest technologies in drive control, performance, system diagnostics, and energy savings.
So how can you upgrade your servo-driven transfer system? What new technologies can you access, and which capabilities can you gain by doing so?
Many manufacturers are taking advantage of opportunities to refurbish their transfer systems by upgrading the controls, drive trains, and bearings while reusing their frames, in keeping with reuse sustainability goals and cost-saving initiatives.
When servo-drive technology was first incorporated into triaxis press transfer systems, direct current (DC) motors were used. DC servomotors now are virtually obsolete in the tri-axis transfer industry domestically. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) no longer support those installations. They have discontinued direct replacement of motors and motor components and are no longer investing in the development of the associated communications infrastructure.
In addition, the human-machine interface (HMI) subsystems comprise input screens and microcomputers. Microcomputer operating systems have a very short life span, becoming obsolete rapidly.
Alternating current (AC) motors are now the U.S. standard, providing performance at a reduced price. The current AC motors are dimensionally smaller and totally enclosed. They are not vulnerable to contaminants that are inherent in the stamping press environment. In addition, they do not require special cooling provisions. The associated infrastructure is expansive.
The latest system controls architecture is PLC-based and uses a range of HMIs, such as large, high-resolution monitors. PLC software is commonly used in the North American stamping market. As such, many stampers use it to control existing plant systems and are familiar with its programming language. An HMI typically is exposed and susceptible to damage, so modern HMIs are designed to operate independently of the PLC so that a damaged HMI will not result in a system shutdown.
Drive components are critical to the transfer system's performance. Today a range of drive components are available, allowing stamping companies to perfectly match the application specifications and requirements. The new components provide significant improvements in acceleration/deceleration performance and torque ratings for use in triaxis, transfer, and torque motion control.
The new controls architectures are multilevel, torque; setup, single-cycle; and full-speed motion control. These three levels allow a stamper to set up tooling and dial in the part path with virtually no finger tooling damage. In addition, an automated homing routine, using the torque motion control, is available, which simplifies the homing process and substantially reduces the time to complete it.
Encoders provide press data for a servo-driven triaxis transfer system. They can include a single smart-quadrant encoder, which provides directional, velocity, and distance press data. This provides a much tighter tolerance to the press motion. This advances earlier encoder technology that could detect direction only by reading the increasing or decreasing values, making it difficult to synchronize the actual press direction.
If a system is operating in a repeatable manner, performing to specification, and being well-maintained, do stampers still need to consider changing or upgrading the linear bearings? The answer is yes. They really need to consider all of the potential failure points, especially if exact replacements are not readily available.
Linear bearing designs have evolved, and industry standards have changed. When product changes occur, it is common for bearing manufacturers to continue to offer both the new and previous designs for a period of time. At some point, though, the previous designs must be discontinued because of the increased costs of manufacturing and inventory. Therefore, as transfer systems are updated, the linear bearings are commonly updated also, bringing the transfer's linear bearing mounting points up to current industry standards. This provides for a platform that is compatible with new industry standards and linear bearings that are readily available as replacements, if or when required.
Whirlpool Ohio refurbishes its transfer systems
Since the mid-1990s, Atlas Technologies Inc. has supported the manufacturing operations at the Whirlpool Clyde, Ohio, facility, when Whirlpool Corporation invested in new stamping systems to produce major panels for its laundry products.
At that time Atlas Technologies was chosen to provide two Atlas Flex 5000 electronic transfers to automate press operations and optimize the output of the press cells. Since then Whirlpool has consistently maintained the equipment, and consequently these press cells continue to be the source for major panel production. Each press cell has completed approximately 65 million cycles and still is in operation.
In 2013 Whirlpool approached Atlas to develop a plan to upgrade or replace the transfers as part of a modernization program for the press cells. A detailed technical and financial evaluation led the team to conclude that employing new technology on the existing machine frames was desirable over the option to replace the units entirely.
Because the mechanical integrity of the existing transfers was solid, Whirlpool's decision to refurbish was based upon these factors:
- Major machine frames and details are being reused, reducing cost and preserving natural resources and energy.
- Rigging expenses are significantly reduced because main frames stay in place.
- All drive train and bearing surfaces are replaced and upgraded, and all electronic controls and human interfaces are replaced, providing the latest technologies in drive control, performance, and system diagnostics.
All available upgrades are being implemented on the refurbished transfer, including new rail connection techniques, new wireless electrical connection methods for part tracking, electronic torque monitoring, and new kinetics drives.
Refurbishment costs are approximately 75 percent of the cost of new transfers.

The pending purchase by Fairfax Financial Holdings of Toronto for $4.7 billion has been discarded, as apparently have a variety of discussions with such potential suitors as Lenovo or LG. Fairfax had been engaged in a due diligence period which ended Monday. Thorsten Heins, who became CEO in January of last year and oversaw the company's launch of its new BlackBerry 10 platform, has resigned, and John Chen, who turned around Sybase over a decade ago before it was purchased by SAP, is now heading BlackBerry.
BlackBerry said Chen would remain interim CEO until a new, permanent CEO is found. Fairfax Chairman and Chief Executive V. Prem Watsa will once again join BlackBerry's board as lead director, a position he resigned during the summer to avoid any conflict of interest.
'Enough Ingredients'
Chen, who will serve as executive chairman of the Board as well as interim CEO, has told Reuters news service that it will take as much as 18 months to turn the company around, but that there were "enough ingredients to build a long-term sustainable business" around its smartphones. A key question, heightened by Monday's news, is whether BlackBerry would opt for abandoning its devices business altogether and focus entirely on software and services, such as its popular BlackBerry Messenger service or its mobile device management platform.
It's not yet clear what role Fairfax will play in this new phase. BlackBerry has not specifically said how the $1 billion infusion will be used, but the company is known to be sitting on $2.6 billion in cash and investments without Fairfax. The $1 billion, reportedly provided by a capital pool financed by five unnamed firms, is made available through debt securities and can be turned into common shares at $10 each.
'Devices Are Staying'
Ramon Llamas, research analyst with IDC Mobility, told us that, based on Chen's comments, it appears that "devices are staying in the foreseeable future" for BlackBerry. He added that he would "have a hard time" seeing BlackBerry de-emphasize devices, at least because they help the company demonstrate its services.
He said other takeaways from Monday's news include the fact that the company will "remain intact," at least for now, instead of having its parts sold off. As with most companies, Llamas said, "the whole is greater than the parts" at BlackBerry.
Additionally, Llamas said BlackBerry device owners now have a temporary "sigh of relief" that the company is moving forward, at least for the next few months. This movement could help stabilize its still-considerable customer base, he said, not the least of which is the U.S. government.
But the main questions, he said, revolve around the fact that Chen is an interim CEO, which raises issues of how much "weight and authority" he has, so that he can provide the strong leadership the company needs.
Until that is resolved, Llamas said, BlackBerry is "in the waiting room, a holding pattern."

fattybomatty Hey Guys, I am heading to New Orleans in 2 weeks. Any suggestions of where to eat and where to avoid would be greatly appreciated.
wanderingjew http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/tm.aspx?m=687567&high=cajun+creole+ozark Read pages 1 and 2 of my trip report and hopefully this should give you a good idea of where to go and what to avoid.
ChrisOC I would try to get to Domilise's for a PoBoy. http://www.hollyeats.com/Domilises.htm
fattybomatty Thanks a lot guys. I really appreciate it. my one question is, if there is one place you think is a MUST hit, which would you pick?
Foodbme Here's 26 of them courtesy of the search tool already on this web site: http://www.roadfood.com/Restaurants/SearchResults.aspx?st=latlong&latlongid=398&ob=LatLon
dadetigl Best lunch in New Orleans! Mr. B's Bistro. Gumbo Ya-Ya and Mr. B's Barbecued Shrimp. A must visit. None better. Corner of Royal and Iberville.
eruby dadetigl Best lunch in New Orleans! Mr. B's Bistro. Gumbo Ya-Ya and Mr. B's Barbecued Shrimp. A must visit. None better. Corner of Royal and Iberville. This is EXACTLY what my my wife and I had for lunch there one month ago. fattybomatty, I would recommend Camelia Grill (Carrollton location - not a bad streetcar/bus ride) so you can experience Marvin for a great breakfast. For Po' Boys, you can't do better than as noted above. and it's much easier to get to by street car than is Domilese's (equally as good, but a long walk from the street car line). We are also very partial to Cafe Du Monde for beignets, and Central Grocery for muffaleta. The only benefit to Acme at Harrah's is there is frequently a long line at French Quarter location and it may be easier to get a table at Harrah's

Results of the December 2012 Ifo Business Survey
German Service Sector: Ifo Business Climate Indicator Rises Sharply
After two successive decreases, the Ifo Business Climate Indicator for the German service sec-tor rose sharply and returned to September's level. The service providers surveyed were con-siderably more satisfied with the current business situation than last month. Their assessments of the business outlook also reflected greater optimism. Employment plans remain moderately expansionary.

| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Explanatory note
The Ifo Business Survey of the service sector is based on ca. 2,500 monthly survey responses from firms in key segments of the tertiary sector, especially business-oriented segments (excl. distribution, financial services, Leasing, insurance and government). The survey is conducted and calculated in the same way as the Ifo Business Survey of industry and trade. In comparing the various curves of the Business Climate indicator, it is important to remember that, for methodological reasons, the results of the Business Survey of the service sector are not yet seasonally adjusted. The indicator for the Business Climate in the service sector has not yet been incorporated into the Ifo Business Climate Index for industry and trade.

Comment Question Lacks... (Score 1) 347
I have something of a unique take on the subject, coming from a mix of traditional education, and actual experience. I was at university for 5 years, though I never did graduate. I also have 15 years on the job experience, in many fields of software development.
It has been my experience that a degree is a 50/50 proposition. Some of the best programmers I have worked with did not have degrees in computer science. The very best programmers I have ever worked with did not have degrees at all.
It is a new science, a very young discipline, and at this stage is unwhole, unformed. It has roots in maths, philosophy, and a hodge-podge of other well established fields. It is coming into its own, but it is not there yet, and the academic bias is futile at this point.
The very best database developer I have ever worked with was an ex-marine with a degree in accounting. The vey best general programmer I have ever worked with has no degree at all, yet has a multi-million dollar company, and he writes better code than anyone I have ever seen. The very worst programmer I have ever worked with had a masters degree from a university (non-US) in computer science, and could not code anything to save his life, but he could talk his way up into any situation, without the actual chops to back his talk up. The least well paid developer I know has a Doctorate in CS.
YMMV, but it is a young duscipline and we are still sorting ourselves out.

Nvidia Fears Not Sandy Bridge's "Basic" Graphics
Nvidia says that "demand from OEMs for discrete graphics solutions remains strong and above historic levels," and the GPU maker holds firm in Mercury Research's prediction that discrete GPU shipments will double between 2009 and 2014. Why is that?
"Unlike basic graphics graphics integrated into Sandy Bridge CPUs, GeForce GPUs provided advanced features and increased compatibility for the latest PC games including those based on Microsoft DirectX 11," Nvidia explains.
Yep, despite all the claims from Intel that Sandy Bridge's graphics core is far and away better than today's integrated GPUs, Nvidia contends there will be plenty of demand for something more than "basic" pixel pushing power. In fact, Nvidia says PC manufacturers are gearing up to launch a record 200 new products featuring Nvidia GeForce GPUs in the first half of 2011.

We're already familiar with most of the characters' personal quests: Cinderella (Kelly Caufield, with girl-next-door candor) would like to get out and do some waltzing. The not-so-bright Jack (an amusingly vacuous William Broyles) needs to get a good return on his and his mom's ailing cow. Rapunzel (Jennifer McLeod, with an ethereal voice) wouldn't mind a peek at the scene outside her tower. Little Red Ridinghood (the keen young Haley Bennett) just wants to make it to Granny's without attracting any undue attention from the "scrumptious carnality"-seeking Wolf (Graham Allen, in a David Bowie wig). Then there's the childless baker and his wife (the well-paired Timothy Bate and Jen Means) who, as it turns out, have long been punished by the curse of the Witch next door (Amy Roche, spectacularly), for having helped themselves to her garden greens. There's hope for the young couple's baby fantasies, but first they have to secure a scavenger hunt's worth of riddly items, the search for which brings them into the company of their fairy-tale peers.
That's chapter one, and we all know how it ends up for everybody: happily. But don't stroll complacently back out onto Congress Street after the first act — there are actually a lot more ins and outs to the "ever after." Everything isn't all honeysuckle and doughnuts on the marital and maternal fronts, and as if domestic discord weren't enough, there also happens to be an angry, widowed beanstalk giant sulking around and picking people off. The diminished crew of fairy-tale folks thus starts to resemble the plucky band of survivors in Stephen King's The Stand, making the tough choices.
Although its premise is delightfully, sharply simple, from a technical standpoint Into the Woods is no walk through the larches. But Good Theater is by now well known for its unparalleled virtuosity, and this production is no exception: Under the direction of Allen and musical director Aaron Robinson, this cast carries off seemingly effortless executions of the script and score's intimidating demands, which include some stupefyingly quick timing in vocals and blocking.
Good Theater's gifted actors are also impeccably cast and gorgeously costumed. This production has a remarkable feel of unity among its actors; every single character is fully, dazzlingly inhabited — from the angular yearnings and uncertainties of Bate's and Means's baker couple, to Broyles's subtly hilarious, dim-witted Jack. Fourteen-year-old Haley Bennett, as Red Ridinghood, is impressively sharp and savvy around her character's more sardonic edges, and Cinderella's step-trinity (Karen Stickney, Kristen Thomas, and Jessica Peck) is a shrill flurry of finery and righteousness. A few deserve special mention: McLeod's Rapunzel and Caulfield's Cinderella are absolutely dulcet, and Bate also has an unusually warm and expressive voice. And in the plum role of the Witch — by turns comic, Mae-Westy, and wracked with yearning — Amy Roche is magnificent, her performance a sly and decadent delight that's now a cackly staccato, now filled with lusty bravado, and finally slows to something cool, minor, and dark.

AOL's new west coast headquarters in Palo Alto, Calif., isn't a sprawling campus, but rather a renovation of one of many blink-and-you'll-miss-them tract office buildings that line the byways of Silicon Valley. But walk into the lobby of the reimagined interior designed by San Francisco–based Studio O+A, and you'll see the well-appointed trappings of a high-tech company: A bank of flat-panel screens mounted to one wall that displays logos and content from the company's Web venues. A cluster of candy-colored bicycles fetchingly suspended from a column act as sculpture—that is, when they haven't been checked out by employees to ride around the building or downtown for lunch. What you will not find in the ground-floor offices beyond the reception-desk-cum-ceiling-plane (cleverly curved to recall a skateboard half pipe, which were all the rage when AOL started in the 1980s) are AOL employees. That's because the tech giant devoted the first floor of its headquarters to incubator office space for fledgling companies, one of which, it hopes, could be the next billion-dollar IPO.
Apple famously started in a garage, and Facebook began in a dorm room, but these days, tech companies are taking a more organized approach to fostering new talent. Venture capitalists (VCs) have made incubators standard fare in Silicon Valley, and spaces for them are designed to encourage collaboration among microcompanies.
VCs "want to capitalize on the prospect of creating cross-fertilization and getting access to other ideas," says Studio O+A principal Verda Alexander, and such spaces are often small venues within larger VC offices. At AOL's 395 Page Mill Road, the model is flipped: The 80,000-square-foot ground floor is divided into suites ranging from 500 to 25,000 square feet, along with incubator space, co-working environments, and offices for tenants and VCs. "Incubators by nature need to refresh quickly," says Studio O+A principal Primo Orpilla, "and they [the companies] will be growing. We design the space to a certain point where they can scale in a suite and then they're probably going to be looking for their own office space."
Here, some companies occupy a single office, others have a more-traditional open-office suite of bench seats surrounded by whiteboard walls. The workspaces themselves are designed for flexibility and ease of turnover—"You give them enough to do what they need to do," Orpilla says—and take their cues from AOL's own office space, which Studio O+A also designed, upstairs. The designers took great care to connect the suites with an infrastructure of common spaces that encourage collaboration. Hallways are wide, and outfitted with chairs and breakout spaces wherever possible.
Other communal areas are more formalized, but even the requisite coffee bar—designed with a food-truck-inspired pull-up door over the counter—is staffed by entrepreneurs from nearby Stanford University. A shared lecture hall, lined in colorful acoustic panels, can be set up for lunchtime lectures, business updates, or more-social endeavors. And it absolutely works as a multipurpose room: "Sometimes they play soccer in there," Orpilla says.
Overall, the transformation of an existing building and the creative use of no-nonsense materials may signal a shift for similar high-tech offices. "Pulling back the layers of the space was very much saying: This is the new Valley," Orpilla says. "This is made for work, and socializing, and the 24/7 economy. This is not about over-building."

Steelers rout Miners 47-0
January 6th, 2013
Steelers rout Miners 47-0 was the headline in the sports section of the August 24, 1946 Scranton Times. 7,487 people packed Scranton Stadium to witness the Pittsburgh Steelers play the Scranton Miners, their farm team, in a pre-season exhibition game. This was the first time a professional football team played in the Electric City. The game was so big, the IRS counted the ticket money.
In today's Sunday Times, Cheryl Kashuba writes about the game and touches on the career Chuck Cherundolo, Old Forge native and center for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Below are the articles from the August 24, 1946 Scranton Times with details of the game.

A new paper cites nearly 900 studies on the adverse effects of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, also called statins, which are a class of drugs widely used to treat high cholesterol. The review provides the most complete picture to date of reported side effects of statins.
Muscle problems are the best known of statin drugs' adverse side effects, but cognitive problems and pain or numbness in the extremities are also widely reported. A spectrum of other problems, ranging from blood glucose elevations to tendon problems, can also occur as side effects.
The paper summarizes powerful evidence that statin-induced injury to the function of the body's energy-producing cells, called mitochondria, underlies many of the adverse effects that occur to patients taking statin drugs. Statins lower levels of coenzyme Q10, a compound central to the processes of making energy within mitochondria and eliminating dangerous compounds called free radicals.
Higher statin doses and more powerful statins are linked to greater risk of developing side effects.
Statins, which are a class of drugs used to lower your cholesterol, are among the most commonly prescribed medications in the world, and I believe, one of the most unnecessary drugs there are.
Use of statins rose by a whopping 156 percent between 2000 and 2005, rising from 15.8 million people to 29.7 million people. Spending on these drugs jumped from $7.7 billion to $19.7 billion annually over the same period. This is a travesty in light of the overwhelming evidence – nearly 900 studies compiled in the review listed above -- showing the damage statins inflict.
The Dangerous Side Effects of Cholesterol-Lowering Drugs
Statin drugs are some of the most unnecessary drugs on the market today.
Because their use is based on a misinformed notion that cholesterol is the nemesis of good health in the first place. I've said it before, but it bears repeating: Cholesterol is not the cause of heart disease.
Making matters worse, statins are also some of the most dangerous and are fraught with side effects.
Confusing matters, however, is the fact that statin drugs oftentimes do not have any immediate side effects, and they are quite effective, capable of lowering cholesterol levels by 50 points or more. This makes it appear as though they're benefiting your health, and health problems that appear down the line are frequently not interpreted as a side effect of the drug, but rather as brand new, separate health problems.
But there's an ever-growing body of evidence showing that potentially serious side effects begin to manifest several months after the commencement of therapy.
For starters, some of the possible consequences of taking statins in strong doses, or for a lengthy period of time, include:
Other serious and potentially life threatening side effects include, but are not limited to:
According to the latest review published in the American Journal of Cardiovascular Drugs, adverse effects are dose dependent, and your health risks are also amplified by a number of factors, such as:
How Statin Drugs Destroy Your Muscles
The most common side effect is muscle pain and weakness, a condition called rhabdomyolysis. Unfortunately, many older adults are likely unable to distinguish between muscle pain related to a statin effect versus an effect of aging, and therefore adverse effects of statins in older adults may be grossly under-reported.
Researchers have now discovered that there is more than one way this condition can arise as a result of taking statins, including:
The breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue can in turn also lead to kidney failure.
The industry insists that only 2-3 percent of patients get muscle aches and cramps but according to one study, 98 percent of patients taking Lipitor and one-third of the patients taking Mevacor (a lower-dose statin) suffered from muscle problems!
Adding insult to injury, active people are actually more likely to develop problems from statin use than those who are sedentary. In a study carried out in Austria, only six out of 22 athletes with familial hypercholesterolemia were able to endure statin treatment. The others discontinued treatment because of muscle pain.
The Importance of CoQ10
There are no official warnings in the U.S. regarding CoQ10 depletion from taking statin drugs, and many physicians fail to inform you about this problem as well. Labeling in Canada, however, clearly warns of CoQ10 depletion and even notes that this nutrient deficiency "could lead to impaired cardiac function in patients with borderline congestive heart failure."
Coenzyme Q10 is an antioxidant compound that is central to the process of energy production within your mitochondria, and in the quenching of free radicals.
Statins have been found to impair mitochondrial function, which leads to increased production of free radicals.
At the same time, statins also lower your CoQ10 levels by blocking the pathway involved in cholesterol production – the same pathway by which Q10 is produced. Statins also reduce the blood cholesterol that transports CoQ10 and other fat-soluble antioxidants.
The loss of CoQ10 leads to loss of cell energy and increased free radicals which, in turn, can further damage your mitochondrial DNA, effectively setting into motion an evil circle of increasing free radicals and mitochondrial damage.
This explains why statins are particularly dangerous if you have existing mitochondrial damage, as your body relies on ample CoQ10 to bypass this damage.
High blood pressure and diabetes are linked to higher rates of mitochondrial problems, so if you have either of these conditions your risk of statin complications increases, according to the authors of this latest review.
Additionally, since statins can cause progressive damage to your mitochondria over time, and your mitochondria tend to weaken with age anyway, new adverse effects can develop the longer you're on the drug.
Said co-author Beatrice Golomb, MD, PhD:
"The risk of adverse effects goes up as age goes up, and this helps explain why. This also helps explain why statins' benefits have not been found to exceed their risks in those over 70 or 75 years old, even those with heart disease."
How to Lower Your Cholesterol Naturally
There's really no reason to take statins and suffer the consequences from these ill-conceived drugs. These simple guidelines have the power to lower your cholesterol naturally, without any dangerous side effects:
If you truly want to normalize your cholesterol levels, following these simple lifestyle changes can get you there:

So much for Lisbon
After mucking around with some scenery in Lisbon to make it "presentable" for photos for an article, I had already decided to clear everything off to be able to move Lisbon down this shelf. Once it was cleared off, I started moving the components around for the track at Norwood, New York. This village has the New York Central crossing the Rutland with an unusual layout for the interchange. Norwood is one of THE most important interchanges on the Rutland, where most of the overhead traffic was passed to the NYC and it was also where NYC had running rights from here to Malone Junction.
I figured that I would need a lot of space (read depth) for this scene thanks to the interchanges. I started with the Crossing in the center, then moving the switches around until I thought I had something lined up, but didn't plan on connecting the dots...
As you can see by the pictures, its built and wired up and took half the width I expected.
I couldn't resist a meetup. Northbound New York Central DM-1(Dewitt-Massena) crosses the diamonds while 207 waits with an eastbound OA-2.
Comparison Photos
Not completely accurate, but I was just playing around with the camera and a few models.

It's agonizing. There's such a clear disadvantage in starting some routines first, as Shawn Johnson did in the floor exercise, only to be overtaken by Romania's Sandra Izbasa, who went last. It was Johnson's third silver medal in Beijing. • How would you like to be a 41-year-old woman that everyone introduces by saying, "This is 41-year-old Dara Torres." Suck. Torres, who actually did some sideline reporting for NBC in their XFL coverage back in the day, has some experience with being a freak, and nearly capped off her Olympic comeback with gold. She missed Germany's Britta Steffen by 1/100th of a second in the 50-meter freestyle final. The silver is Torres' 11th Olympic medal. Nice going, mom. • Raphael Nadal won Spain's first-ever gold in men's tennis, beating Fernando Gonzalez of Chile. He will officially dethrone Roger Federer as the world's number one ranked men's player on Monday. Federer lost to James Blake (USA! USA!) in the quarterfinals. • Oh, and the Willams sisters kicked the shit out of everyone to win gold in women's doubles.Reply10 repliesLeave a reply
