It is a car that although underpowered, can be EXTREMELY FUN to drive! I too am constantly in search of more power. One of the first mods I did was to buy a K&N and "swiss-cheese" the air box. Yes, it does help engine performance, but not much. Drilling the holes had a really cool side-effect on my engine - it made a great sound as air rushed into the box. I don't think there are that many holes in mine, as the removal of the duct-work and the pre-heat/thermstat plate contraption made several holes anyway. The results of that mod is in my mind the cheapest thing you can do for a great improvement in the sound of the I-5 and a noticeable increase in hp. The resulting sound of my drilled air box is a deep air induction rumbling whoosh and it sounds AWESOME(to me)! I did not do it myself and do not know if your box is the same as mine, so I cannot help you with instructions. As for upgrades, I cannot help you there either. Sorry. Allan

The orcas have been on the hunt in The Bay for the last few days. We have seen at least two different pods working the ledges of the canyons.
Today they were hard to keep up with as they seemed to be heading to the West at a high rate of speed. We also had a brisk wind and a pesky chop making the going ruff.
But we did finally catch up to them and they were up to their old tricks. The elusive pod were clearly on the hunt zig zagging in all directions, staying under for almost 10-minutes at a time and then popping up more than a quarter mile away. They were hard to track. We thought that they might slow down when a pod of Pacific White-sided dolphins came cruising through the area. But that's when we lost them.
We had heard reports of blue whales about a 3-miles from our current position. So we followed the white-sided dolphins as they were heading in the same direction as the blue whale reports.
After about 20 minutes of running we came upon the unmistakeable blast of a blue whale spout. They can blow almost 30 feet up on a good day. But they are usually a challenge to watch because they can have burst speeds of up 30-miles per hour. And they also can stay under for a solid 30-minutes. Luckily, the animal we were with today was feeding in the area and circling around instead of moving out. So we had the animal come about 50 yards off our port side as it surfaced for a breath and then continued feeding. We had a couple of nice sightings as the animal repeated this pattern. What a nice day out there.
On the way in we came across a small pod of fast moving Risso's dolphins. Very strange behavior. They were carrying on like they were Pacific white-sided or common dolphins. Moving at a high rate of speed and actually jumping out of the water as they moved along. We call this "porpoising."

Good morning everyone! There was almost no blog this morning as just 20 minutes ago I was sat here, near tears, because after 50 minutes of failed ideas I still didn't have a blog theme... But then Batman swooped into my mind and saved the day. Hurray! I think I need to start keeping a blog ideas diary or something to avoid these beyond last minute theme panics in the future. And if anyone else has ideas for blog themes let me know by email (firstname.lastname@example.com), twitter (@cutekidsclocks), facebook or comment below. All ideas gratefully received, but please don't be offended if they don't make it into the blog - I've had to ditch a lot of ideas over the last few months because there aren't enough British sellers and/or the items are too similar. Not that I have that problem today, there's always really good variety in superhero blogs. And the Joker only appears in amigurumi form because Heath Ledger's performance in The Dark Knight still terrifies me, so I'm not putting him in a pre-breakfast blog!

Giant borax crystals are perfect, whether you want to move on from borax crystal snowflakes or just want a big, beautiful crystal rock. These crystals can be grown in a geode shape or in multiple colors, making them great for mineral displays.

Giant Borax Crystal Materials

Borax

Water

Food coloring

Pipe cleaners (chenille craft sticks)

Borax is sold with laundry detergents as a natural cleaner. It's also sold as an insecticide, usually as a roach killer. Check the product label for borax or sodium tetraborate.

What You Do

The large size of the crystals comes from two things:

A structure or armature on which the crystals grow

Controlling the cooling rate of the crystal growing solution

The first thing you need to do is bend the pipe cleaners the shape you want for your crystal "rock" or geode. For a rock form, you can simply twist several pipecleaners end-to-end and crumple them up into a rock shape. Neatness really doesn't count because you're going to coat the entire mess with crystals. For a geode, you can spiral pipecleaners into a hollowed shell shape. Either works fine. You don't need to completely fill in the open spaces with pipecleaner fuzz, but you don't want giant gaps either.

Next, find a container slightly larger than your shape. You want to be able to set the shape in the container, without having it touch the sides, with enough space that you can completely cover the form with liquid solution.

Remove the shape from the container. Boil enough water to fill the container enough that it would cover your pipecleaner form. Stir in borax until it stops dissolving. One easy way to make sure you have as much borax as possible in the water is to microwave the mixture back to boiling.

Add food coloring. The crystals will be lighter than the solution, so don't worry if it seems deeply colored.

Place the pipecleaner shape in the solution. You may need to shake it around a bit to dislodge air bubbles to make sure it won't float.

This is where the controlled cooling come into play. You want the solution to cool slowly in order to get the largest crystals. Cover the container with a towel or plate. You can wrap it in a hot towel or place it in a warm location,

Allow a couple of hours for the crystals to start growing. At this point, use a spoon to dislodge the shape from the bottom of the container. You don't have to do this step, but it seems to make it easier to remove the crystals at the end if they are loosened early. Let the crystals grow several more hours or overnight.

Remove the form from the container. The crystals may be perfect now or they may be fairly small and incompletely covering the shape (most common). If they are fine as they are, you can let them dry, otherwise you need more crystals.

Prepare a new solution, dissolving as much borax as you can in water, adding food coloring (doesn't have to be the same color), and sinking the crystal-covered shape. Fresh crystals will grow on the existing ones, larger and better-shaped. Again, slow cooling is key for best results.

You can do another round of crystal-growing or finish the project whenever you are satisfied with the crystal size. Let the crystal dry on a paper towel.

If you want to preserve the crystals to display them, you can coat them with floor wax or nail polish.

June 1st was another great day of diving on the Lake. It was a great trip for two particular reasons. First, I had a guy from Finland who had learned in the cold water of his homeland and had done a lot of diving in the Philippines and was very skeptical of diving in Chicago and Lake Michigan. The second reason was I had on board a couple who have been diving with me for years. If you have been diving with me at all and the discussion led to weather and Lake Michigan you have heard the story about how one day we put divers in the water in one-foot seas and 25 minutes later I was retrieving divers in 6-foot seas and it built to 8's on the way home. Well, Deb was one of those divers and she said "what's all this I read about sterning-in on wrecks?". We'll come back to that later.
So during the safety briefing I mentioned the possibility of doing two dives on the Mack and my Finland diver expressed a deep seated desire to do two different sites because he was just visiting and probably would not be back. I explained to him that viz on near shore wrecks had not been as good as the Mack last week and that if we went shallow he might have bad viz. In the end, democracy prevailed and the group decided to dive the Mack and the Wells.
As the Lake was flat we were tied into the stern mooring of the Mack in 50-minutes and by the way, we were sterned-in to the amazement and joy of Deb. So Two Mission Accomplished! As I was watching everyone get dressed I see a guy in a 7mm jumpsuit. I asked him if he had a hooded vest to go along with his suit and said no. Then I asked him where he was from….FLORIDA. So I did the only thing I could do, I made sure that his zipper was all the way the up and said "see ya soon". 30 minutes later Florida (Marc) is up and though very cold he had a great dive. I fired up the motors and got the heater running so that our frozen Florida diver could thaw and I asked him about the dive. Crystal clear 80-100 viz and the thermocline as 20′ so it was 54F to 42F in short order but at least their safety stop was in warmer water. After all the divers got on board we headed to the Wells. Along the way, there was no pineapple as Deb had brought her famous trail mix, which is simply the best.
At the Wells we again stern-in and the divers hit the grand dame of Chicago Shipwrecks. 40 minutes later they surface and I asked my Finnish diver what he thought. Patrick says " the dives were way better than he ever imagined". Mission One Accomplished!! A new convert to Great Lake Wreck Diving. They had 40 foot of viz and 58F.
So this week I'm full on Sunday but I have 2-spots open on Saturday (6/7). The following week I have
2-Spots open on Saturday (6/14) for a trip to the MSB & Tacoma. Sunday (6/15) is Father's Day and I generally don't run a trip as it is hard to sell that day, but I'm thinking $30 OFF for dads and I have 5-spots open.
If you are interested give me a call or shoot me an email.
C'Ya on the Lake,
Cpt. Jim

Green Bananas
I was talking to my father the other day about a family celebration we are planning for late September.
He commented that it was a long way off.
I responded that it was already May (and I couldn't believe the time had gone so quickly!)
He looked me straight in the eye (we were on Skype) and said, "Around here [the retirement community in which he now lives] the wisdom is, We don't even buy green bananas any more."reminded me (with humor and honesty) that we all walk a line between enough attentiveness to our mortality that we can live life deeply and appreciatively, and enough non-attentiveness that we aren't paralyzed by Death — who is our constant companion and teacher.
We would not hand a stranger or, even, a colleague our ATM card and password, giving them the means to drain our bank account.
We would not wander down the street handing copies of our house key to passers-by, allowing them the freedom to empty our home.
So why do we allow others to claim, waste, or usurp our time –
a priceless resource infinitely more precious than our money or our material possessions?
Shouldn't we guard our date book at least as carefully as our credit cards so that we lavish our time (and energy and passion) on those events that tilt the universe toward what we say we value most: equity and justice, mercy and love, peace and the common good?
Taking Time
And speaking of time:
The world used to have the luxury of meandering into mistakes at a pace that allowed even the most oblivious among us to (eventually) recognize on-coming danger.
The speed of modern life can catapult us into disaster between one eye blink and the next.
My guess is that if we want to have a world to pass on to the seventh generation, we are going to need to slow down. In fact, slow down to a complete stop more than just once or twice a decade.
How about starting today?
I suggest we stop and breathe. Stop and think. Stop and wonder. Stop and ask some pointed questions. Today.
The Placebo Effect
Repeated studies have shown that the placebo effect is real – whether that pertains to medical cures or golfing. Yesterday, for instance, NPR ran a small piece on the effect of brand name putters on golf scores. Turns out, if you think you are using a top-of-the-line Nike, you do better than if you think you are using a generic putter from Sports Authority.
Here's a thought:
What if we had a placebo that cured us of a scarcity mentality?
What if we could all be convinced that we can actually be twice as generous as we currently are without going hungry sometime in the apocryphal future?
What if we had a placebo that alleviated our fear that life is a zero-sum game?
What if we no longer worried that there isn't enough to go around…and were willing to pour out love and compassion and welcome and kindness as if those were limitless?
It's just a thought…
…but then 'just a thought' is what makes placebos work.
Sometimes, I confess, I confuse common sense and being proactive with magic.
I assume that if I wear my seatbelt in the car, my life jacket in a boat, my boots in the rain, my hat in the cold, eat veggies, avoid dangerous drugs, get my tetanus shots, and sleep 8 hours a night, nothing bad will happen.
So when life throws obstacles or challenges or crises in my way, I get cranky.
Helen Keller – who had more than a few challenges to overcome – approached life very differently. She said,
Security is mostly a superstition.
It does not exist in nature,
nor do [human beings] as a whole experience it.
Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.
Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
Note to self: Wear (non-magical) life jacket and expect to be catapulted into the water once in awhile.
Confidence to Share
As I said back in Imbolc, that while I would love to have one of my fiber art pieces hanging in a museum someday, that is not why I make them. They are really intended to be companions on a spiritual journey or through a life transition or during a challenging time.
I also know (seriously, I know this!) that some of them are yearning to live with people who may not even know they exist. This is where you come in.
If there is someone in your life (including yourself) who you feel would resonate to this piece, please let me know. It you would like to know more about the solar plexus chakra, you can read about it HERE.
You can also read more about the art itself HERE.
I would like to offer it as a loan or gift from the universe through me to a person who needs this particular energy at this time in their life.
If you are interested in this piece, please send me your name and the person's situation — just a sentence or two about why you think they may benefit from the loan or gift of this piece. I only have one of these, so if I have more than one request, I will need to make a choice.
If it needs to be shipped, I ask that you pay for shipping. I will include a note that indicates it comes to the recipient courtesy of your request. I also ask if you take it for yourself, that you use it for as long as you need and then either pass it along to someone you know who may need it…or return it to me so that I may pass it along. (I will include this request with anything I ship as well.)
[NOTE: This piece was sent to someone recovering from complications following major surgery to provide confidence and courage.]
What would our world be like
if we all spent more time
celebrating our uniqueness
and less time
trying to fit into
some bland expectation of sameness?
You are the only 'you' there will ever be.
So, cultivate your irreplaceable beauty.
Yes, yours!

As we all know water is life hence no one can live without it. It is therefore very important to try our best to conserve our natural water sources so that we may not run short. Very many organisations have been set up so as to ensure that water is conserved. These organisations have impacted great on water conservation. Unfortunately, to this day still there countries that are at the risk of having water shortage. Below is a list of these countries.
List of Top 10 Countries With Water Shortage in The World in 2017
10. Afghanistan
In this country only 13% have clean water that is readily available to them. In the country most of its areas are naturally scarce with water. Many people are affected by lack of safe and clean water for this reason. High rate of pollution, insufficient infrastructure, negligence and many other factors have greatly led to lack of water in the country.
9. Ethiopia
Africa is the continent that has most of the countries that have great water shortage. Ethiopia is a country in great need of clean and safe water to sustain the population. Only 42% have access to clean water. Clean sanitation is only available to 11% of the population. Both women and children have a great task in getting clean water they walk over long distances to go fetch water in very unsafe places. There is also a very high mortality rate in this country.
8. Chad
Chad is affected by both shortage of water and food. The country is located at the horn of Africa which is known for having severe drought that brings with it food and water shortage. Malnutrition as well as other diseases that are as a result of lack of water are very common in the country. Burkina Faso, Niger and also the North of Senegal are also not an exception.
7. Cambodia
84% of the population don not have access to water that is safe and clean. The great Mekong River also passes through the country. The river is normally affected by monsoon season right from May up to November. The question is that how such a place could be affected by water shortage. The answer is that the place lack the infrastructure for cleaning and treating the water. Many people rely on rain water for drinking and that is another reason.
6. Laos
This country holds the lion's share of the great Mekong River. Due to reduced water levels of the river the country is experiencing great water crisis. This river is very important to the country. The people depend on it for transportation, electricity, food and many more ways. Production of electricity is one of the major things that Laos is known for. 80% of the population depends on subsistent agriculture. The drop in water level will mean great harm to this people.
5. Haiti
This is one amongst the Top 10 Countries With Water Shortage in The World 2017. Statistics show that half of the population in the country lack clean water. It also suggests that one in five people lack access to a hygienic toilet. The country is still recovering from an earth quake that happened in 2010. It brought great damage and also death to 316000 people. That earthquake also destroyed water sources bringing the country to its knees. Deforestation, soil erosion and lack of facilities to do water treatment are other major factors that contributed to water shortage.
4. Ghana
Ghana has very few places which are affected by water shortage. Volta region, which is at the border of Togo and Burkina Faso is very faraway and it is still very poor. In this region only a small number of families have the chance of accessing to clean and safe water. Diseases which are a result of consumption of this unsafe water are very common here. Guinea worm is an epidemic in this country because of lack of clean drinking water. The epidemic can only be eradicated by drinking water that is treated.
3. India
There is a very high rate of population growth in this country. That is why there is great water shortage. The water sources are been over stretched and that is why the country is under the risk of facing great water shortage. The sources are also being contaminated and that in various ways like pollution. That is another reason why there is great water shortage. The country has put in great effort but but more has to be done.
2. Rwanda
This is a country that has very many natural water sources but unfortunately, due to lack of infrastructure and capital. The country lacks the ability to bring this water to them and that is why the country is at the risk of having great water shortage. The way the land is makes the government have great difficulty in having in distributing water to the people. Very many people are getting sick because of the unsafe water they use. There is a very high rate of child mortality.
1. Bangladesh
There are very many cases of many people getting ill in this country. This diseases that people have are because of inability to have access to clean water. The people normally use untreated water and this is the reason they get water borne diseases. This crisis has affected both rural and urban areas especially the ones in the slums which is at the capital city. Statistics show that only 16% of those in rural areas have access to latrines. There are no clean toilets in urban areas. These factors also have greatly led to people's sickness in the country.
These above are the Top 10 Countries With Water Shortage in The World 2017. It is beyond doubt that Sub-Saharan countries in Africa are the ones that are at the top of our list in those countries with great shortage of water. Pollution and depletion of the natural water sources are the things that lead to water shortage. Doing this to our water supplies lead to conflict, decrease in agricultural activities and also death because of water borne diseases.

Re: An Onan JB Performance Question
"As for the wiring it is genuine Onan wiring, I never changed the wire size to the coil. Thank you for the offer but I intend to stay genuine Onan parts best I can."
Leon, I am not a big advocate of modifying FACTORY wiring either, never was, BUT, there comes a time where because of age the factory wiring and switches don't carry the current to satisfy the starter requirements.
Here is a suggestion, build up a TEMPORARY, heavier wire and switch starter circuit, bypassing the factory wiring and switch. See if it works the same as the factory circuit or if the starter holds in, when warm, with the temporary circuit.
I respect your wanting to keep things "Stock and original" but this set you need in an outage and you and your wife's well being depend on it. Chris

Re: An Onan JB Performance Question
Know you want to keep it genuine Onan parts, but think you said mouse pee'd in control box. So some of the original control box parts may no longer be in genuine Onan condition. Other issue is it's not new anymore...... Generic new parts are better than old intermittent genuine parts.
Re: An Onan JB Performance Question
Motorhead I hear ya and understand your logic. You make good points. However, since I measured 11+ volts steady-state at the small terminal should that not be good enough to activate the hold-in coil?
Re: An Onan JB Performance Question
One thing I learned working on cars is Don't Assume Anything, test it. Lot of odd ball stuff happens.
Put ice pick test light between bat negative and case of solenoid , crank engine, see if it lights. Solenoid case may be intermittently poorly grounded.

Re: An Onan JB Performance Question
The 1976 Honda 550cc four cylinder motorcycle I had only had about 7,000 original miles on it and I had issues with the starting circuit. I even bought a brand new from Honda, EXPENSIVE!, starter button assembly to try to fix the problem. It worked okay for about 6 months then no start issue came back.
I wired in a relay which took the current load off of the NEW switch and stock wiring and no more issues.
Leon, Have you tried to just hot wire the starter motor when it has the warm drop out condition? In other words, just run a jumper wire from the large battery post on the starter solenoid and touch it to the small contact on the starter solenoid, holding it there long enough to see if the starter stays engaged?
This little orange 1976 Honda 550F is what you need to run around on Leon! I'm 65 and ride a 2007 BMW R1200cc GS

Re: An Onan JB Performance Question
Motörhead I use to have a motorcycle license in MA. When I was a teenager I re jilt a Whizzer motor bike. HAd to get a motorcycle license to drive it on the streets. That was about 1954 or so. I remember what a laugh as the local inspector watched me handle the bike. Went into the service and I do not know what happened tol the old bike. After that lost interest and decided not to pay $ to renew each year so that ended my motorcycle interests.
LenK how can your idea work since the solenoid she'll is grounded to the JB frame? But, I will try it.
Re: An Onan JB Performance Question
Motorhead your bike is like new!! I was a Honda bike mechanic for about 8 years. Started assembling bikes and went on to be a mechanic. The shop I worked at sold Yamaha and Honda. I preferred Honda. My first was a Honda moped I found in the river and my buddy and I re-built it buying parts from the Honda dealer. They eventually asked us to work there after school assembling bikes. $5.00 for anything under 500cc and $6.50 for anything over 500cc. I then bought a CB160 and rode that to school before I had a license. Bought CB750 and bored that out to 1147cc and eventually seized it racing a dragster at the dragstrip. I quit and they called me back to setup the CBX. That was a great bike. Been many years since ive ridden a bike but I still keep up my license.
Sorry Leon just remembering some fun times.
Re: An Onan JB Performance Question
Leon ...... I would EXPECT solenoid shell to be grounded. But until you TEST , your ASSUMING.
On cars I've learned the hard way not to do that.
I've tracked down lights on a large box truck not working right and back feeding because whole huge truck box was not grounded, even though it was bolted to frame. I hooked alligator clip of ice pick test light to truck box and stabbed it in rusty frame...... it lit.
Dad sold cars and sometimes got fun stuff as trade-ins. At 15 was planning on driving a 125 CC Yamaha to high school. . Then when riding at dad's garage I almost missed bumper of car parked in the back row by 6 inches, 8 stitches in shin. Still at full throttle was looking back admiring my first donut in the dirt.
Before that we got a Honda 2 or 4 cylinder 500CC as a tradein. Was "racing" a friend around a building, I didn't know it's power ,reved it up and popped the clutch. Front of bike came up and almost landed behind me. Front wheel bounced on ground ~4 times till I got it under control, handle bars were turned on 1-st landing.

Re: An Onan JB Performance Question
When you get around to pulling the fan shroud to check the gear mesh into the ring gear, take a heat gun and heat the starter drive up a little and see how it acts. If it acts up, with solenoid being cold, the drive is bad.
If the starter motor is spinning, the solenoid is doing its job correctly. In the mid 80's, GM had starter solenoid problems on their motor home chassis when they got hot. They added a Ford looking solenoid to power up the starter solenoid. I believe they used 10 gauge to and from the Ford solenoid.

Re: An Onan JB Performance Question
David C tomorrow I will try your suggestion with the heat gun. I will heat up the solenoid without starting the JB. I cannot heat up the starter bendix since it is enclosed. BTW, That is a new bendix. When I get around to returning the starter to the shop, one of their tests will be a locked rotor test to check out the bendix AND see if the armature is spinning on the shaft. Can you believe that?!
I will attempt to crank the flywheel and see if the pinion disengages. I really do not need to remove the fan shroud because during just about every attempt the flywheel is spun before the pinion disengages. I will also measure any voltage difference between the shifter solenoid case and the battery negative terminal.
Note, when the pinion disengages and the starter whines, there still is 11+ volts at the small terminal on the solenoid. If I have enough energy, I will remove the front shroud and confirm that not to exceed 1/8 inch clearance between the pinion and the ring gear and also check for full engagement. I have to restore the shroud to keep my JB on standby.
Re: An Onan JB Performance Question
Skiming manuals in past, locked rotor test looks like just to see that starter can make enough torque. Detecting loose armature is just a side benefit.
Can see how with poor factory quality control a thermal or force shrink fit might be too loose. But seems a stretch to believe it can start engine when cold, then slip when a little warmer . Suspect Onan bought their starters pre-assembled from other companies.
I'm still thinking solenoid

Re: An Onan JB Performance Question
I'm thinking with ~ 11 V at solenoid, the wiring and control box components are good. But very easy test for them while hot is: Short small solenoid terminal directly to fat bat bolt on solenoid. Using copper rod/bar would be best, but easiest to use a large screwdriver, with insulated handle( possible inductive back voltage ). Don't hold gen frame, that completes the circuit.
Likely will be good spark (100amp solenoid), keep it tight and don't lose your nerve. Safety glasses and long sleeves will help you feel safe.

Re: An Onan JB Performance Question
I have some bad news! Things just got worse. I disconnected the gas supply so that the JB would not start. I was conducting len K's test. that is, measured the voltage from the solenoid shifter case to the battery ground terminal. Was surprised to see between 0.25 and 0.5 volts! Gonna make sure the repair shop knows this.
Then to my surprise the starter would not stop cranking the flywheel. I tried the spring loaded start stop switch to no avail, I forced the centrifugal switch closed once again to no avail. In the meantime the pinion disengaged and the starter whined on and on until I detached the positive terminal at the battery. Holey Cow! Must have taken me a good minute to shut down the starter.
Next, disconnected the start/stop switch and checked it out with an ohm meter Checked OK so I reinstalled the start/stop switch. Come to think of it if the centrifugal switch did not shut down the starter, then that spring loaded start/stop switch was not the problem.
So next I tried reattaching the battery positive cable and nearly got knocked on my A as the starter tried to start. So I stopped that effort but noticed my trickle charge was pegged at 5 amperes! Next I measured the voltage at the small terminal on the shifter solenoid and read zero volts. Rats.
I suspect the shifter solenoid main contacts are stuck (welded?) closed. So tomorrow I will remove the starter and off to the repair shop. I do want the old shifter because I think len K is correct. Looks that solenoid failed.

Leon, you have more tolerance and patience than I do. If that were my set, I would have put a Mitsubishi starter on it after the first failure of the "rebuilt" unit.

Re: An Onan JB Performance Question
Your doing well Leon, I'm ~ 60 and slowing down.
.25 to .5 V solenoid case to ground is not too bad, case is steel and steel is ~ 8X resistance of copper. At 100 amps .5V is ~ .005 ohm.
With solinoid jamming when given a good power source with low source resistance I would look for bad control box connections and wiring. Sounds like some higher resistance limited current in past. Common practice to test solenoid with a shorting screwdriver.
Guessing solenoid jammed. Would be interesting to open up solenoid. Maybe: rust, broken parts, copper bolt head with 1/8 " missing from arc erosion , ect. Copper washer contact is copper plated steel, on old ones copper is gone from arc errosion.
One of those switches that mount on bat terminal might not be a bad idea, also good if short and smoke. For my 7NHM I "temporarily" salvaged jumper cables and clamps from junk jumpstart bat pack. I just clamp them on lead bat post adapter, bites in well. Likely will be permanent
For quick disconnect of bat I use water pump pliers (long handle adjustable pliers.) Side post bats unscrew fast.
Likely starter motor didn't over heat. DC motors with no-load rev up and make more back EMF, reduces current. Schematic shows starter field and armature are in series on my JB spec AA, likely yours too.

Re: An Onan JB Performance Question
I am hoping this is the last and only major fix for my JB. I may be wrong but I suspect that starter solenoid shifter was of inferior quality. Will know when I get the old one back. I do not want to introduce non genuine Onan parts if I can help it. The original one lasted for 41 years, this one only 6 years.
I will query again but I did not get a good answer as to where and who the auto-electric shop is purchasing these solenoids. Obviously not from Onan.
Re len K's comment: "I would look for bad control box connections and wiring". I think the control box connections are OK. With the battery disconnected I noticed a few amperes flowing from the battery charger into the JB. That current was flowing from the JB B+ side directly into the positive terminal on the solenoid and thus through the starter to ground.
Note, my JB battery float charger is connected into the control box to a Pair of + and - terminals,
Yes , this is a pain to do because I have to remove the muffler, unbolt the two 4 x 4's, remove the front shroud and thermostatic shutters, then hoist the JB 6 inches, swing it 90 degrees to gain access to the starter. I am down on all fours and just quit for the night.
Checked the pinion to ring gear clearance and attached a picture best I can do. Looks like just about 3/16 inch clearance. Onan says max should be 1/8 inch. No shims were employed with my starter so I suspect this aspect is OK.
Re: An Onan JB Performance Question
Few years ago for dad's 87 Chevy Caprice 305 V8 a starter shop said it would be ~$100 for rebuild. Because shop guy was ~ retired and we sent him a lot of business in past he told us that Advanced Auto Parts has starters for ~ $35 and a ~ $45-50 one came with ~ lifetime warentee. $50 one worked fine till we sold car several years later. Shop guy buys them and sells as rebuilt ( doesn't claim HE rebuilt it)

"Looks like just about 3/16 inch clearance. Onan says max should be 1/8 inch. No shims were employed with my starter so I suspect this aspect is OK."
IF 1/8 is MAX and you are measuring 3/16 you are over the MAX by 1/16
Re: An Onan JB Performance Question
Easy enough to get some scrap steel , cut it up and drill some holes for a shim. $3 metal cutting abrasive disk on a carpenter's skill saw cuts steel real fast and easy, Home Depot.
Or car parts store for generic shims, might find something close enough.

On Sundays, instead of doing a daily draw, I usually take a look at the week ahead, asking for a heads up on what might occur.
Here are the cards I pulled this morning:
Mlle. Lenormand Jeu de destin No. 194115 (c) 1986 Piatnik
The Lenormand cards seemed to be following up on a situation I'd heard about yesterday when I was alerted that an older gentleman friend had wound up in the hospital after experiencing what appeared to be a stroke.
This morning's cards showed the sudden (Scythe) hospitalization (Tower + Coffin), and went on to indicate a potentially slow and possibly challenging recovery (Mountain + Clover). Rider as the base card suggested I will get an update on the situation sometime this week.
While Clover at the end of the Line of 5 is encouraging and suggestive of recovery, I know this card has a temporary influence, so I can't help but worry a bit about my friend's long term prospects.
On the other hand, perhaps Clover is simply saying that this old boy will luck out & be sent home as good as new. I think I'd rather focus on that outcome for now.

Safe sexting in age of 'revenge porn'
On Safer Internet Day, our reporter considers whether we need to rethink the current moral panic over 'sexting' - for every generation
Just as they've always been, parents are often at a loss to decode the secret worlds of their children. And with much of their activity happening on smartphones and laptops, Generation Z can prove especially cryptic.
Last month, the PSNI Newry and Mourne shared a guide to 'secret sexting codes', which originated in the US. The guide, for instance, reveals that LH6 stands for "let's have sex" while the number 8 apparently represents oral sex. Other terms include MOS (mum over shoulder), P999 (parent alert) or PAL (parents are listening), and even KPC for "keeping parents clueless".
Certainly, the list appears timely, not least because Irish teenagers were found to be among the fourth highest in the EU for sexting (the sharing of explicit content, often photos, through digital technology). Over 4.4pc of boys and 1.6pc of girls aged 11-16 are engaged in the behaviour, according to research presented at last year's Anti-Bullying Research Centre Conference.
Of course, sexting is now so pervasive that it barely constitutes an issue exclusively for parents. The list of adults who found their careers and reputations tarnished by sexting is a long one: famously, New York politician Anthony Weiner's professional (and personal) life was derailed when he was caught sexting with not one but four people (including, allegedly, a 15-year-old girl). Similarly, Vernon Kaye, Ashley Cole and Tiger Woods have all weathered sexting scandals in recent years, with varying degrees of success (only Kaye's marriage appears to have survived the episode).
And while sexting can topple an adult's career, the Child Trafficking and Pornography Act 1998 (Section 2) makes it clear that images of a child "engaged in explicit sexual activity", or images which focus on the "genital or anal region" will constitute child pornography.
Still, another report, from anti-bullying charity Ditch the Label, found that youngsters now see sexting as part of normal life; 37pc had sent a naked photo of themselves, and 24pc had seen that image shared without their consent. While 49pc of those questioned said they believed sexting was just a bit of harmless fun and 16pc said it was "the normal thing to do", 13pc reported feeling pressurised into sending explicit pictures.
Sarah Newton is a UK-based speaker, youth coach and mother to 17-year-old Bronte, with whom she has written a novel.
"As parents we blame the technology, but the technology allows people to do something we might have done anyway," she says.
"Young people have been doing similar for decades… they fall in and out of love so quickly and emotions run high. By their very nature, they do things at breakneck speed, but the internet has added a whole new dimension to things."
And when these images are shared without consent - often, after a relationship ends, or if the 'relationship' wasn't considered serious to begin with - the psychological effects can be "devastating", as has been highlighted by a number of high-profile 'revenge porn' cases in recent months.
"We must protect our young people," says Newton. "Let's educate them, particularly on the ways in which people distribute the photos."
It's one thing wanting to enlighten one's kids on how to keep them safe if they decide to sext. It's quite another, however, to open up that particular conversation.
"If something hits the news, I'll say to my daughters, 'why do you think a girl might do that? Is it something you'd consider doing?' My kids don't tell me everything, but when we have conversations, they're not resistant to it. If you talk continually, nothing is ever off-limits. I think we're afraid if we ask questions, they'll just go and do it. But children are able to make their own minds up," Newton advises.
Colman Noctor, adolescent psychologist at St Patrick's Hospital, Dublin, also suggests parking the 'morality' issue in conversations with youngsters.
"The main reason why young people keep this stuff secret is the fear of repercussion that they shared it," he explains. "It's often about making them a bit more mindful about what they do online. Get them on side rather than adopting a controlling, finger-wagging approach, which only encourages them to go underground.
"Remind them if a kid comes to you with a problem, you can work around it. Say, 'no matter what you've done, come to me early'. Accept that they may make poor decisions, which is part and parcel of being a teenager."
Amy Adele Hasinoff, author of Sexting Panic: Rethinking Criminalisation, Privacy, and Consent, has called for parents, kids and authorities to rethink the current narrative around sexting. Instead of discouraging youngsters from sexting, she says, the law should be reformed to protect individuals' privacy.
"I don't think the current dialogue around sexting is very effective in preventing harm; privacy violations are what's harmful. I think in and of itself, sexting isn't necessarily something that's bad. Date rape is a problem, but we don't seek to ban all dating," says Hasinoff.
"If there is a violation in privacy, right now we blame the victim," she adds. "Often we blame the girl and say something like 'boys will be boys'. How we respond to the situation is troubling to me. We should be criticising the sharer, not the victim."
Moving forward, Hasinoff suggests that rather than deny that sexting is happening among youngsters, we raise awareness on 'sexting smart' instead.
"Think of how the abstinence approach has failed in sex education," she says. "We're reluctant to acknowledge that sexuality happens before people are 18, and there's this idea that teens should be chaste and asexual. There will always be a risk connected to sexting, but the conversation people need to have with their children is similar to the conversation you have if you're in a heterosexual relationship and decide to rely on the pill instead of condoms - how do you decide when you can trust that person not to bring home (an STD)? Making sure you can trust your partner is a good place to start."
Newton says the good news is that in her experience, teens are more sensible than they are often credited with.
"I always think it's best to start from an element of trust as opposed to 'I don't trust you'," she says. "The truth is that most young people are really quite sensible online, and if something goes wrong, we can always just ask our children about it. We don't have to come into the conversation as the adult who knows everything. It's our job to be a little bit nosey, but not necessarily looking over their shoulders."
A guide for dealing with teen sexting
Keep the channels of communication open. "Offering support is not the same as nagging," says Colman Noctor, adolescent psychologist at St Patrick's Hospital. "Sometimes it's okay to just say, 'If there's anything you want to talk about, I'm here'."
Don't threaten to take their smartphones: "The young person's big fear is that you'll take their device from them," says Noctor. "Instead, it's best to say, 'whatever is going on, that won't necessarily be a natural consequence'."
Talk to them sooner rather than later. "Kids as young as 12 and 13 are accessing porn, and these days you are forced into having conversations with our children that we didn't necessarily want to have five years ago. There's an illusion of childhood within the eyes of parents, and you have to crack through that."

Marvel definitely went in a different direction for their latest sci-fi thriller, but that direction was in no way a bad one. Guardians of the Galaxy starts off in a hospital waiting room with a young boy listening to a mix-tape. His father walks out of a hospital room and tells the young boy (Peter Quill, played by Parks and Rec. star Chris Pratt) that his mother wants to see him.
Peter and his dad walk into the room to find it full of people crowded around a bed, on which Peter's cancer-ridden mother lays weakly. She gives him a wrapped present and tells him that she loves him before the cancer wins.
Peter, distraught of his mother's death, runs out of the hospital and falls to his knees in tears. He's suddenly surrounded by a bright light as a spaceship descends from the stars and beams his aboard.
Fast-forward over a decade and Quill is alone (yet still with his Walkman) on a barren planet filled with tiny lizard-like creatures. After using various gadgets and his trademark jet-boots, Quill comes upon a chamber with a peculiar orb perched on a pedestal. He uses yet another gadget to retrieve the orb from its protective force field, but by the time he picks it up, he is surrounded by armed guards led by Korath the Pursuer (Djimon Hounsou).
Quill surrenders the orb momentarily before using some more gadgetry to steal the orb back and escape. He makes a beeline straight for his Milano starship (with some awesome explosions in the background I might add) and flies off of the planet.
Quill's next stop is Zandar, where the headquarters of the Nova Corps is located. A rodent mercenary named Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper) and his giant tree bodyguard Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel) spot Quill and locate the bounty put on his head from his former partner-in-crime Yondu (played by Michael Rooker from AMC's The Walking Dead).
Once Quill arrives at a merchant's establishment, he is all ready to sell the orb to him until the merchant finds out that an evil Kree warlord named Ronan (The Hobbit's Lee Pace) and cancels the deal.
Liitle does Peter know, Ronan had been working for the mad titan Thanos, and when Korath reported the orb as stolen, Ronan sent both of Thanos' daughters to assassinate the thief and retrieve the orb.
Thanos' green-skinned foster daughter Gamora (Star Trek's Zoe Saldana) was the first to come into contact with Quill as he came out of the merchant's hut. A street brawl ensued as Gamora tried to take the orb and things escalated when Rocket and Groot step in to prevent Gamora from taking their bounty. Nova Corps eventually steps in and ships them all off to prison.
At the prison, Gamora isn't given the warmest welcome (hats off to Nathan Fillion's voice-acting of the bulky prisoner that Groot takes out) due to her altercations with Ronan. One of her biggest adversaries (literally) in the joint is Drax (former WWE Pro Wrestler Dave Bautista). Drax wants vengeance on Ronan for the death of his wife and child, and ends up with his hands wrapped around Gamora's emerald throat. Quill talks him down, telling him that Ronan is the real threat, and that Gamora was planning on betraying Ronan (she actually was).
Drax ends up joining the other four in a break-out attempt that Rocket brings to fruition. Once they escape (and Quill retrieves his Walkman which was confiscated earlier) they fly the Milano out towards Knowhere, where Gamora knows of a perspective buyer of the orb: The Collector.
While the fivesome explore Knowhere, Ronan travels to meet up with his boss. Thanos isn't happy that not only is the orb missing, but the thieves are as well. Furious, he sends his daughter Nebula (Dr. Who's Karen Gillan) along with Ronan to take Quill and company down.
This is where I'll stop with the synopsis because my goal with this article is not to give you a play-by-play of the entire film, but rather to give you a taste of how unmistakably awesome Guardians of the Galaxy is.
The story is great, with Thanos finally being tied in and unforgettable characters like Groot and Drax finally making their debut. The essentials of the plot are that Peter Quill and the rest of the Guardians don't want the orb, but everyone else does, so they somehow have to choose who ultimately gets to stow away the artifact and won't use its unstoppable powers for themselves (I won't give the specifics of the orb just yet for those who haven't gotten around to see it).
The casting choice was also spot-on. Chris Pratt's blend of action and sarcasm fits in perfectly for Quill, and both Zoe Saldana and Karen Gillan are perfect for their roles as warrior women. Lee Pace's commanding voice (which you might be able to peg as Thranduil's in The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug) gives Ronan the authoritative quality that defines a Kree. When it comes for voice acting, who can say Vin Diesel did a bad job with "I am Groot!" and Bradley Cooper made a hilarious Rocket.
The only beef I have with the film is Ronan himself. In the modern-day era of superhero films where one has to compete with the likes of Loki and Ultron, Ronan definitely let me down on the whole villain front. His main motivation is to destroy Zandar and name himself the ruler of the world, which isn't the most original of motivations. His powers are also a bit inconsistent. In the beginning of the film, he emits a pulse from his hammer that snaps a guy's neck instantly. However, during a clash with the Guardians near the end, he sends out the same pulse but only succeeds in knocking them over. The final battle between Ronan and the Guardians, while it may be funny, is also disappointing. You'll see what I mean once you watch it.
Back among the great factors of the movie is the soundtrack, featuring trademark songs like "Hooked on a Feeling" by The Blue Swede, "I Want You Back" from the Jackson 5, and "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.
Factoring in all of the components, I would rate Guardians a solid four out of five stars. It was definitely better than the latest Iron Man films, and possibly even better that Thor: The Dark World, but I'm not sure it is up to the same standards that I classify with The Avengers and Captain America: The Winter Soldier. If you haven't seen it yet, I could not recommend it more. Guardians of the Galaxy is definitely not only worth watching, but worth admiring.

NHL fans across the World are counting down the hours. We are hours away from the puck drop that signifies the start of the 2013-14 NHL regular season. Due to last season being reduced because of the lockout, it has arguably made the anticipation for this season even more significant.
Dallas Stars fans are among the most eager
The Dallas Stars rebuilding process kept most NHL enthusiasts very interested on how it would work out.
If the preseason is any indication of how the Dallas Stars will perform this year (which most will argue is NOT an indication), it is going to be a remarkable season.
Dallas won five out of their seven games. Their two losses were both in overtime. This put them tied for first in points for the preseason with Washington (who played one more game than Dallas) and Boston.
The Stars also scored the second most goals for NHL teams during the preseason, only one behind Washington. They also kept the puck out of their net, tying for fourth in least goals against.
Has Tyler Seguin found his spot?
Seguin's successes in the preseason games indicate that his personality issues have taken a back seat, and that his new atmosphere in Dallas will allow him to be the talented, youthful player that he is.
Jamie Benn is stepping up into his leadership roles.
As I discussed back in July, Jamie Benn was the likely candidate for the new Dallas Stars captain. On September 19th he was named the official captain of the Dallas Stars, the sixth in franchise history. Benn now needs to continue to be the leader that the Dallas Stars will need, especially to ensure that younger players such as Valeri Nichushkin and Tyler Seguin stay with a game-set mind throughout the entire season.
The Dallas Stars start their regular season October 3rd, 6:30 (Mountain Time) against the Florida Panthers.

Apache Lake is best fished in spring and fall. Winter is a close third. You will probably be better off fishing in your bathtub during the summer. You can find lots of good shoreline fishing here because of the irregular shoreline. The best places to fish here are deep coves, extended points, and rocky cliffs. All the rocks found here make perfect places for crayfish. Coincidentally the crayfish population here is huge. Because of that the best lures or baits you can use are crayfish colored. The fishing in the lake used to be much better. In fact the smallmouth here used to be the best fishery in all of Arizona. Then golden algae came and wiped out the fish though. The lake is on the upswing but it's not the best yet. Hopefully in a few years the lake will be returned to its former glory. Tight Lines!
Apache Lake is 2,500 acres with an average depth of 180ft. There are all sorts of facilities, places to get supplies, and a nice boat launch for you to use when you fish here. If you want to fish here you are going to need a U.S. Forest Service Tonto Pass. You can keep 6 bass but only one can be in between 13-16 inches. You can use any size of motor here which will come in handy if you like water skiing which you can do here. Good luck fishing!

Examining The Link Between Teacher Wages And Student Outcomes: The Importance Of Alternative Labor Market Opportunities And Non-Pecuniary Variation
Researchers using cross-sectional data have failed to produce systematic evidence that teacher salaries affect student outcomes. These studies generally do not account for non-pecuniary job attributes and alternative wage opportunities, which affect the opportunity cost of choosing to teach. When we employ the methodology used in previous studies, we replicate their results. However, once we adjust for labor market factors, we estimate that raising teacher wages by 10% reduces high school dropout rates by 3% to 4%. Our findings suggest that previous studies have failed to produce robust estimates because they lack adequate controls for non-wage aspects of teaching and market differences in alternative occupational opportunities. © 2000 by the President and Fellows of Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Lindsay Lohan lost the end of one of her fingers Saturday, when it got snagged on a line while she helped pull up a boat anchor off the coast of Turkey.
And, of course, she went right to social media to document the gruesomeness
The 30-year-old "Mean Girls" actress posted a photo on Snapchat of her heavily bandaged finger, captioned "I almost lost my finger from the anchor. Well. I lost half my finger, thank goodness we found the piece of my finger… I just had surgery to fix it."
According to TMZ – which posted some graphic photos of the finger before surgery – reported her friends found the severed portion of the finger and rushed her to the hospital.
She also posted video, in which she said "This is the result of me trying to help anchor the boat by myself. My poor finger!"
Lohan posted a new Instagram photo of herself on Monday, captioned "One handed selfie."

Residents are packed like sardines, a new report by the city comptroller's office says.
Apartment overcrowding both stems from and feeds into New York City's affordable housing crisis, according to a new report by the city comptroller's office. The report finds an alarming rise in the share of overcrowded housing units from 2005 to 2013.
Here's Comptroller Scott M. Stringer on the implications of this finding, via a press release:
"Studies make it clear that crowding hurts the whole family," commented Comptroller Stringer. "It makes it harder for kids to learn and puts the entire family at a greater risk of homelessness. This new report shows that the problem of crowding is stubbornly increasing, with nearly 1.5 million New Yorkers now living in a crowded or severely crowded home."
According to Stringer's report, the percentage of apartments with more than one person to each habitable room (excluding kitchens, bathrooms, and other unlivable sections of a house) has increased from 7.6 percent in 2005 to 8.8 percent in 2013, a relative rise of nearly 16 percent. The share of apartments that are "severely crowded"—with a person-to-room ratio of 1.5: 1—has gone up even more drastically, by almost 45 percent during this period.
Here's the chart showing this increase, via the report:
The share of extremely crowded studios has skyrocketed
The report considers studio apartments with two occupants as crowded, and includes these in the overall count of crowded units in the city. But it also measures a dramatic increase in studios with three or more occupants. In 2005, only 2.9 percent of the city's studios housed more than two people; by 2013, this share had increased to 13.5 percent—a colossal 365 percent increase.
Overcrowding is a particular concern in the Bronx and Brooklyn
Every New York City borough except Staten Island saw a rise in crowding. In absolute numbers, Brooklyn had a 35 percent increase in crowded units from 2005 to 2013—the most of any borough. Here's a chart showing the increase in such units by borough, from 2005 to 2013:
The Bronx was home to the largest share of crowded units in 2013 (12.4 percent of all housing units in the borough). Brooklyn was close behind at 10.3 percent, and also experienced the biggest change in its share of such units. Another chart shows these figures for each borough, between 2005 and 2013:
When it comes to severe crowding, every single borough saw a rise. Brooklyn and the Bronx, however, were the only ones where the share of crowded units (3.4 percent and an unnerving 5.8 percent, respectively) were higher than the city average (3.3 percent). Here's a chart of each borough's total severely crowded units from 2005 to 2013:
Crowded households are disproportionately immigrant-led
An overwhelming 70 percent of crowded households were headed by immigrants, the report finds. A majority of these were families with at least one member under the age of 18.
But it's not just a low-income problem
You'd think that only low-income families would be stuffed like sardines in New York's claustrophobic apartments, but that's changing. While around 24 percent of crowded households self-identified in the bottom 25 percentile of income, 19 percent were in the top 25th percentile.
The average household income for people living in these crowded households increased by 2.7 percent between 2005 and 2013; the median rent, meanwhile, increased 12.8 percent. In other words, the rise in rents far outpaced the rise in income among people who live in crowded conditions. Here's how the report puts it:
This suggests that the affordability of the City's rental housing stock may have played a role in boosting crowding.

Series: Sookie Stackhouse #13.5
Published by Penguin on 2013-10-29
Genres: Fantasy, Fiction, Paranormal
Pages: 208
Source: Library Book
Dead Ever After marked the end of the Sookie Stackhouse novels—a series that garnered millions of fans and spawned the hit HBO television show True Blood. It also stoked a hunger that will never die...a hunger to know what happened next. With characters arranged alphabetically—from the Ancient Pythoness to Bethany Zanelli—bestselling author Charlaine Harris takes fans into the future of their favorite residents of Bon Temps and environs. You'll learn how Michele and Jason's marriage fared, what happened to Sookie's cousin Hunter, and whether Tara and JB's twins grew up to be solid citizens. This coda provides the answers to your lingering questions—including details of Sookie's own happily-ever-after... The book will feature extensive interior art by acclaimed Sookie artist Lisa Desimini, including a Sookieverse Alphabet, color endpapers, and several full-page black and white interior illustrations.
In order to review as many books as possible without stressing myself out, I'm going to be super mini- tweet style reviews to balance my usual review style. I love reviewing books, but sometimes writing a long review is daunting, and then I end up not reviewing the many, many books I've read. All my Short and Tweet reviews will be 140 characters or less. Thanks to Tif from Tif Talks Books for the idea!
I liked the concept, but too much info about characters I can't remember and not enough about the ones I loved. Still, it was worth checking out from the library.
Feel free to write your own Short and Tweet Reviews, just add your link below! Each month will have it's own linky to add your reviews, and you can add multiple links if you do several Short and Tweet Reviews a month.

Runaway Nightmare VHS at Videonomicon
Michael Cartel's parents stopped in Pasadena, California long enough for him to be born while moving to a county fair with a traveling carnival. Cartel grew up and worked on the carnival until finishing high school when he was employed as a film actor. A graduate of California State University, Cartel began writing after returning from the military draft (U.S. Army) and combat in 1970. The same year he worked as a scriptwriter and later as a filmmaker. Cartel served as a reserve Los Angeles Police Department officer in North Hollywood and was editor and owner of a weekly newspaper, The Valley Vantage for ten years. After his media sale, Mike was honored to be a Los Angeles Unified School District teacher (and a Los Angeles Teaching Fellow). Today Cartel produces unwatchable documentaries while writing unpublished novels. He resides in a L.A. suberb with his wife, Mari Cartel and their two sons.

MICHAEL CARTEL RUNAWAY NIGHTMARE Mike Cartel's CARNIVAL
RUNAWAY NIGHTMARE has been accepted as an official article in WIKIPEDIA as a 'notable' and 'worthy' subject for inclusion while 'verifiable' with 'significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources.'
Check it out here: RUNAWAY NIGHTMARE in WIKIPEDIA
The Six Million Dollar Man 1976
Flesh and Bullets 1984
The Holiday 2006 (Rufus Sewell, Kenneth Danziger, Mike Cartel)
Runaway Nightmare actually had a shooting script, although it was often used as a sketch.
Q & A – EVERYTHING YOU WERE AFRAID TO ASK UNTIL NOW If you can't corner me at a cinema appearance, this is the only place you can ask a serious question about this rediscovered masterpiece. I'm a carny, so you can't hurt my feelings, but just keep it (somewhat) on the subject – Your pal Mike "I don't pretend to know anything about art. I make cartoons. Later, the professors tell me what I did." – Walt Disney
"Is Gone With The Wind art?" "No. Not at all. But it is entertainment." – GWTW producer, David O. Selznick
Are there nude scenes in Runaway Nightmare?
The original 1982 VHS release had mismatched B & W video inserts of bare-breasted, torso-framed models spliced into the film. All this was done by a second party distributor without the knowledge of me. New DVD and Blu-ray (and 35mm positive print) formats from the 1981 negative began production in mid-2013, and do not include the counter-sexy nudie grotesques.
What was the original title of Runaway Nightmare?
Platinum Bombshell is the title name first registered with WGA/West in 1978 for the shooting script later known as Runaway Nightmare. All of the camera reports and movie slates during the first week of shooting bear the Platinum Bombshell title. The Platinum name was never intended to be the release title since it was too closely associated with actress Jean Harlow. The Runaway Nightmare name was invented by me during the second week of filming and refers more to the making of the film.
Where in the hell did you get the idea for this movie?
I want to give you an honest answer but it will take a while. I'll have to get back to you on this.
Why do some of the cult girls disappear while different ones seem to take their place?
Some actresses in the two-and-a-half week principle photography phase simple didn't show up after the first days and had to be replaced, using angles/shadow/tricks while new players merely entered and exited as was the nature of the bizarre commune sequence. As the movie dragged into endless week-ends, some of the actresses stayed to help me out, while others were hired in as extras who were often bumped into speaking parts. Seeska (Fate) actually saved the film by coming back after several months to complete her critical scenes. She also did her own dialogue looping in post. The important scene where Fate is getting my trust through romance as we look at the stars was filmed with Donna Paris wearing a blonde wig doubling for Seeska. There's a lot more to this story, but you get the idea.
What was the "platinum-plutonium suitcase bomb" that Fate opened suppose to really be?
It was an upgraded (20 years advanced) 'backpack nuke' based on the 1964 U.S. Army's Special Atomic Demolition Munition (SADM) with a M45 warhead (below) that was light and small enough to fit into a suitcase. And able to ignite when foolishly opened.
How many actual shooting days did it take to finish Runaway Nightmare?
Although the actual wire to wire finish was about three years, the number of days spent shooting the movie was only about 70, or a bit over two months. I'll have to go over the camera reports for an exact accounting, but the movie was shot (after the nearly three-week principle photography phase with a fairly large crew) only on weekends where camera, equipment rentals were very cheap, with only one to four person crews. There were also weeks where I simply stood down.

I've been teaching students Biblical Hebrew online for about two years now. But some people want Modern Hebrew and I don't teach that. I'm thrilled to announce that a friend and member of our congregation is now starting to take online students.
My wife and I began working with our friend as a tutor in Modern Hebrew three months ago and we love it.
The online sessions, just as is the case when people take Biblical Hebrew with me, are $20 and last half an hour. There is a textbook which you must get on amazon for less than $30. The sessions are private, just you and the teacher, and you schedule them for a time that works for you. I've been doing this for two years with a lot of students (sometimes I have as many as fourteen students each week). It really works.
