10-Bolt Builder's GuidePosted in How To: Transmission Drivetrain on November 6, 2013
The GM 10-Bolt semi-floating rear axle has been in use for over 40 years. It's been used in passenger cars, and light duty pickups and SUVs over the decades. In the off-road world, you'll typically find them under full-size 1/2-ton and some 3/4-ton GM trucks, Blazers/Jimmys, Suburbans, Tahoes/Yukons, and Cadillac Escalades.
The rear axle is a C-clip design unit, meaning the axleshafts are retained using a metal C-clip in the middle of the differential. In the early days, the ring gear size was 8.5 inches, but the size increased to 8.625 inches mid-1999. The pinion is a 30-spline piece and the pinion nut is 1 1/4 inches. Axleshaft spline count can be either 28 or 30 splines.
The 10-Bolt has proven itself over the years to be a decent performer in mild to medium duty off-road applications. Obviously, the 30-spline axle option is the preferred choice for added strength. We've seen these axles survive reasonably well under fullsize trucks and Blazers with 35-inch tires. That's assuming they're not stressed hard in rocks or impact loaded on a regular basis.
Push these axles much harder, the tubes begin to flex, possibly resulting in differential wear and ultimately carrier failure. These axles are good to upgrade if they're the existing axle and you refrain from pushing past the limits we mentioned. Those who need more beef than the 10-Bolt may want to search out a Corporate 14-bolt or Dana 60. Depending on your vehicle, either could be nearly a bolt-on affair. However, pinion yokes or U-joints may differ from the 10-Bolt and the heavier axles usually have 8-lug wheel lug patterns.
Given that this axle has been in production for so long and in so many applications, you have access to wide aftermarket support, including ring-and-pinion ratios up to 5.57:1. Your limited slip and locker choices are immense, and alloy replacement axle shafts are readily available. Items such as C-clip eliminator and disc brake kits are on the market as well. OR
Stronger Factory 6-Lug Option
If the 10-Bolt just isn't going to be enough axle for you, but you want to retain that 6-lug wheel pattern, try scouting out a heavy-duty 6-lug axle like the semifloating 6-lug 14-Bolt axle. Unfortunately, these axles are not that plentiful, or you'd see a lot more 6-lug half-ton off-road trucks running around with them.
The 6-lug 14-Bolt is a nice axle for GM half-ton owners who want an almost drop-in HD replacement. There is only half an inch added to the pinion yoke length, making the existing driveshaft reusable with a conversion U-joint. The spring pads line up, and the widths of the truck 10-Bolt and the 6-lug 14-Bolt are within an inch of each other.
Not only do you get a 9.5-inch ring gear by switching to a 6-lug 14-Bolt axle, you get larger axleshafts and much larger drum brakes. The larger drum brakes do still fit within a 15-inch wheel, though.

DescriptionBest Spelling and Memory Game Around!!!
FREE DOWNLOAD: Back to School Special
Finally, an iPhone application that combines the characters kids prefer with the educational properties parents love. Abunai follows the story of Harmani-kun, the newest dog on the block. A clever and cuddly greyhound who looks good in green, he's not resting until the world is safe – and your child has mastered a series of memory and spelling activities designed to boost learning while having fun.
Welcome to the world of Harmani-kun (pronounced "Harmony-kun"), a lovable greyhound who enjoys carrots, bones, and his magical green shirt. As the faithful sidekick of Prof. Horace C. White, top educational researcher and Harmani-kun's best friend, this dog can transform from everyone's favorite pet to the cleverest animal in the world – as long as he's wearing his shirt. The shirt gives him the ability to search for clues, solve riddles, and even speak in both English and Japanese!
Prof. Horace C. White has gone missing, thanks to a network of evil scientists out to steal the magical green shirt. When the evil scientists learn that Harmani-kun is actually the one in possession of the shirt, they hire the greatest dog catcher in the world to find him. All Harmani-kun knows is that his friend Prof. White's last clue was "Abuani," the Japanese word for "Watch Out!"
And watch out is just what Harmani-kun has to do. He has to try and locate Prof. White from the only clue left to him without getting captured along the way. It's a big job: Harmani-kun has to outrun the dog catcher Henry, put together the pieces of the puzzle, and complete memory and spelling exercises in order to complete his quest. With your help, he can find the owner he loves – and hopefully eat a few steaks and apples on the way!
Designed for children aged 4 and up, the Abunai iPhone application comes in three levels to allow the user to control the difficulty. The game also offers one- and two-player options for more interactive play.
Because Abunai combines fun graphics with a solid educational foundation, it is perfect for grade-school level learners. Kids will appreciate the fun story and lovable characters, while parents and teachers will value the lessons. Harmani-kun is one amazing dog!

Next week, as my kids head off to start their new school year I'll be heading to Indianapolis for another CEDIA Expo. This is the show where the best companies in high-end home theater, audio and automation show off their new systems, and I get excited for another year of writing about this stuff.
Tech writers like to look for trends and make predictions, so here's my go at what I expect and hope for at this year's show.
Strangely there aren't a lot of TV manufacturers coming to the show this year. No Samsung, Panasonic or Toshiba. Sharp has a booth, and will likely be showing off the recently released 90-inch TV and probably the Elite brand TVs, hopefully with new models. LG will be showing up just for a private event to show off it's 84-inch 4K TV. Sony will be there, and hopefully we'll get a closer look at its newly announced 84-inch 4K TV if it can get it shipped from Berlin in time.
But at CEDIA, projectors are more important than flat panel displays, and we'll get up close with lots of new ones from Runco, SIM2, Digital Projection, Epson, JVC and more. Last year Sony launched the first 4K home theater projector, while JVC launches its eShift (sort of 4K) projectors (see a review of one here). 4K was cool, but ultrawidescreen solutions were cooler and a more practical solution for home theater users now (people are clamoring more for 2.35:1 images than 4K images). I expect to see more of both. Will 4K be a major theme among new projectors? It may be, but for the time being 4K will likely only be found in premium prices products—at least over $15K and probably highter (Sony's VPL-VW1000ES was introduced at $25K).
Probably more common though will be high light output projectors. While 800 lumens may be fine for a dark basement theater, in a multipurpose room you need a lot more output to be acceptable.
More LED projectors. I'm cheating a little on this one. Digital Projection let me now today that the company will be showing three new LED projectors, including models that exceed 1,000 lumens. SIM2 will have a 3D LED projector.
Screen makers will also be stepping up with screens designed for brighter rooms.
Audio news isn't going to be primarily about speakers and amps (though there will be plenty of both). No, audio at CEDIA will be about distribution—around the house and into the backyard. Easier multiroom audio systems will be everywhere, both in wired and wireless iterations.
Along with audio distribution will be more integration of cloud and streaming services. Audio systems makers are waking up to where people get and put their music, so system that include more streaming and cloud access will proliferate. I look forward to seeing the new systems from Autonomic, Nuvo and Eos.
And where you've got multiroom audio systems, you also get multiroom control. Earlier this year Key Digital told us about its new IP-based control. URC's Total Control System is now fully formed (I can't wait to check out the DMS-AV ). Control4 will show off its HC250 and I'm sure a lot more. My guess is there will be strong emphasis on simple one-room control systems that allow people to test the waters of automation. More lighting, shade and temperature control will defiantly be part of the mix.
If IP control and IP media is growing, that means better IP networks. Your home infrastructure is probably due for an overhaul, and we'll see more products to allow that as well.
That's all I've got time for now. Check back all next week for daily reports from Indianapolis.

I want to convey a whimsical, playful, fun vibe that makes you think of ice cream, candy, ribbons, rainbows but as an adult.
I am a 34 yr old woman starting a high-end, trendy children's line that will eventually - hopefully - turn into a full scale trendy on-line store that would service adults and kids. I am starting out with accessories for toddlers, but again I am envisioning other adult items for the future.

- Dandelions should be part of the logo
- Pink and yellow must be used (I prefer pale pink, but am open to the shade of yellow)
- http://fc37.deviantart.com/fs20/f/2…dedpan.jpg I love the shade of green used. I also like the dandelion in the middle. However, I'd like the fluffy part to almost look like spun sugar ... cotton candy-ish.

So does anyone else out there think this ad campaign:
Would be a helluva lot better if it featured the Old Spice Guy?
"Smell like a man, man."
Just wondering.
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
Dr. Grumpy you're a genius.
Mmm, mmm mm. Hot stuff. ;-)
Could it PLEASE feature the Old Spice Guy? Pretty please? :-)
Boy, if you thought the guys in the locker room made fun of you before, wait till they see you using this...
Everything would be better with the Old Spice Man.
Old Spice guy is better to look at, but I don't think he needs any extra testosterone. That would be like an anorexic lady advertising Weight Watchers.
You know all those drug reps have to worry about Legal jumping all over them because Old Spice Guy would cause riots for their product, because all the "manly men" would be running and beating up anyone trying to take their testosterone-laden product.
Would be a heckuva sales pitch. Too bad you can't get a commission!
Hell to the yes, man. The Old Spice guy got a lot more going on than slightly flabby middle aged white guy over there.
I wonder how oldspice affects this drugs absorption?
We actually got a script for this the other day and (as soon as I figured out what it was) I thought it was pretty bizarre. Apparently applying it to the armpits reduces the chance of transfer to the unwitting female or child that snuggles up to Dad (or something.......)????
just inject it and get it over with. seems like a lot of hassle for something that can be done 3x/week in 30 seconds with better results.
Frantic Pharm, I don't know about that theory...my daughter is always sporting the smell of Axe deoderant in her hair.
Wow, just wow. Can't wait to educate staff on that one. The techs will be looking at me like I either lost it or it's April fool's day.
by the looks of things, Old Spice Man doesnt' need any armpit testosterone, but I'd be happy to smear it on him, instead of that flabby old guy in picture no. 1
is it ironic the ad banner beneath this post is for Axe?
Do you think Axiron might be suitable for this patient? See http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=zkd5dJIV
--Queen Anne's Lace
Oh yes.....yes.....
You know what would really work? If the Axiron made the flabby guy turn into the Old Spice Guy!
Little Calf Creamery. Delicious homemade ice cream and food in Thousand Oaks!

EMMETSBURG, Iowa — Rep. Steve King (R-IA) beamed at a town hall meeting on Tuesday as he recounted a recent congressional hearing where he forced witnesses to "confess" that they were vegetarians.
King said the hearing included witnesses who called to testify before the House Agriculture Committee, including the president of the Humane Society as well as other animal rights groups. He recalled how during the hearing, he asked the individuals, "under oath, are you a vegetarian?" King smiled as he told the town hall constituents that they "confessed they were vegetarians, all of them."
KING: I'm here to tell you I'm a committed carnivore. I like meat. I sit on the Ag Committee and we had a hearing before the Ag Committee when we invited in the president of the Humane Society of the United States, HSUS, President Wayne Pacelle. And we had one or two other witnesses from the anti-meat crowd or anti-animal husbandry crowd. PETA was there and one other animal activist group. So we just asked them, under oath, "are you a vegetarian?" And they confessed they were vegetarians, all of them. Well there they are with an agenda for our diets.
Watch it:
King offered his own "confession" at the end of the hearing. "I too am a vegetarian," said the Iowa Republican. "I eat concentrated, recycled, enhanced vegetables in the form of meat."
ThinkProgress went back to review the hearing transcripts to determine whether King's story is accurate. It is not. The congressional hearing on animal welfare that King appears to be referencing occurred on May 8, 2007. There were no witnesses from PETA. King did not ask anyone "are you a vegetarian?" In fact, it was another member — Steve Kagen (D-WI) — who asked the Humane Society witness to say he was a vegetarian.
The only thing about King's story that does appear to be true is that he did in fact say "I eat recycled, concentrated, enhanced vegetables in the form of meat."

You Ask, I Answer: "Grass-Fed" Labeling
Do the words "grass fed" on a package of beef mean anything, truly?
Are there strict guidelines, or is it a very loose term?
— Annie Balzer
Sacramento, CA
(Via Twitter, @anniebalzer)
Twitter's 140-character limit was definitely not enough space to cover this topic, so I told Annie I would have to answer her question on the blog. Not surprisingly, this is not as cut-and-dry (does that classify as a bad grass-related pun?) as you may think.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) legally defined the term "grass-fed" in October of 2007, as follows. I have bolded certain parts for further discussion:
"Grass and forage shall be the feed source consumed for the lifetime of the ruminant animal, with the exception of milk consumed prior to weaning. The diet shall be derived solely from forage consisting of grass (annual and perennial), forbs (e.g., legumes, Brassica), browse, or cereal grain crops in the vegetative (pre-grain) state. Animals cannot be fed grain or grain byproducts and must have continuous access to pasture during the growing season. Hay, haylage, baleage, silage, crop residue without grain, and other roughage sources may also be included as acceptable feed sources. Routine mineral and vitamin supplementation may also be included in the feeding regimen. If incidental supplementation occurs due to inadvertent exposure to non-forage feedstuffs or to ensure the animal's well being at all times during adverse environmental or physical conditions, the producer must fully document (e.g., receipts, ingredients, and tear tags) the supplementation that occurs including the amount, the frequency, and the supplements provided."
Whew. Let's break this down.
"Grass and forage… consumed for the lifetime of the ruminant animal. The diet shall be derived solely from forage."
This definition means that beef labeled "grass-fed" must be from cows that consume grass throughout their entire life. This is to prevent grass-finished or grain-finished beef from being labeled "grass-fed". "Grass-finished" means that a cow eats grain for most of its life, but is then fed grass the last few months. Prior to this 2007 ruling, some unscrupulous individuals would do this and label their products "grass-fed".
"Grain-finished" is a more common practice, in which cows consume grass until the last few months of life, during which time they are fed grain. The grain diet bulks up cows (which means more weight, and therefore, more money when sold), but ultimately negates the health-effects of a grass-exclusive diet (mainly lower levels of saturated fat and higher levels of heart-healthy conjugated linoleic acid).
"Animals must have continuous access to pasture during the growing season…"
This is one of the more vague and controversial parts of the definition.
"Access to pasture" is not the same as "pasture-raised". Per USDA laws, "access to pasture" can mean that cows are confined indoors, but a gate that leads to pasture is open. Sure, the confined cows are eating grass or hay — as opposed to grains — from a trough, but their mobility is severely restricted. This usually comes as a surprise to people who equate "grass-fed" with "pasture-raised".
" If incidental supplementation occurs due to inadvertent exposure to non-forage feedstuffs or to ensure the animal's well being at all times during adverse environmental or physical conditions, the producer must fully document (e.g., receipts, ingredients, and tear tags) the supplementation that occurs including the amount, the frequency, and the supplements provided."
This is also rather unsettling, for it appears to indicate that all the farmer has to do is document instances where cows may have eaten grains. There is no mention of a farmer being forbidden from selling that meat as "grass-fed".
Then, of course, there is the issue of what is not said in the definition. "Grass-fed" does not indicate an absence of antibiotics or growth hormones. That falls under the definition of "organic". So, organic grass-fed beef is certainly different from grass-fed beef.
The American Grassfed Association is very unhappy about that tidbit, and has therefore implemented its own third-party verification system. You can read their standards here (specifically, read pages 3 to 9 to become familiar with their criteria). You can view a rather lengthy list of producers who meet their criteria here.
In essence, the American Grassfed Association label means that beef is from cows that:
- Solely subsist on grass their entire lives
- Do not consume antibiotics
- Are not injected with hormones
- Are pasture-raised
FYI 1: Let me once again remind you that "vegetarian-fed" is not the same as "grass-fed"!
FYI 2: Keep in mind, too, that this is all about certification. It is very plausible that a local farm which labels its beef as "grass-fed" and does not carry an AGA label still meets all of their requirements. If they don't take the initiative to apply for certification, they won't display the AGA seal of approval.
The problem isn't that all beef labeled "grass-fed" is subjected to hormones and antibiotics, but rather that, due to loose standards, beef labeled in such a manner doesn't necessarily have to abide by standards that some people erroneously assume come with that term.

Link to the Past Life Experiences [ COMIC ]
Let me post two links real quick, so they don't get lost in the depths of this news post. As far as the comic, I can't think of "I am Error!" without thinking of this comic from Digital Unrest… shear brilliance. And make sure to head over to Bored and Evil to check out this guest strip I did for it on Monday.
The chronology for the Legend of Zelda series is confusing at best… saying that there really is a true chronology, as that is open for discussion as well. I'm going to attempt to put the console games in order. Check out wikipedia is you want a more detailed chronology.
The Zelda series' order of release is not the order chronology… bare with me. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the first in this series and contains the first Link and Ganondorf's first appearance (not yet Ganon). Well, at the end of the game Ganondorf uses the Triforce of Power he becomes Ganon. Though vanquished by Link he is banished to the Sacred Realm by the Sages and Link is sent back it time. Thus, creating two separate timelines… now it gets complicated.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask takes place after Ocarina of Time, but since the events of Ocarina did not occur in this timeline there is no Ganon(dorf) present in this game. The end of this game is also the last appearance of this Link.
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is the future of the Ocarina of Time timeline. Ganon breaks free from the Sacred realm and is ultimately defeated by another Link. As far as the consoles go, this is where this Link's story ends.
The Legend of Zelda takes place after A Link to the Past and stars a new Link and his ultimate showdown with Ganon to rescue Zelda (different Zeldas for the different Links in these games, too, just to let you know) and where Ganon is finally destroyed. In Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (same Link) Ganon only returns if you perish.
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess take place roughly about the same time. Huh? Both take place at least a hundred years after Ocarina of Time, but are the results of different events. The Wind Waker is what Hyrule would have become had Ganondorf conquered it in Ocarina of Time (I guess this makes a third timeline). Twilight Princess is what Hyrule would have become had Ganon been executed rather than sealed in the Sacred Realm (does this make a fourth timeline?). My suggestion when they "write" the chronology, The Wind Waker is what happens had Ganon returned after Zelda II (this returns us to three timelines) and Twilight Princess is the future of the Majora's Mask's timeline (back to two). Its still a little complicated, but not so complicated.
Personally, whether or not the Zelda games are truly connected or not is irrelevant. Its still one of the best video game series ever! Most of the Final Fantasy games have nothing to do with each other and that doesn't make them bad (except for Final Fantasy VIII and X-2, they're just horrible).

There is no better "career move" than going to command. While it may not get you advanced, there is no greater opportunity to lead, mentor, and leave a legacy than command.

Should have said
"None of my recently opened file history is saved"
2. Re: Pagemaker and Windows 7BobLevine Dec 7, 2011 6:02 PM (in response to BradSteiner)
Because PM 7 was designed to run on Windows 2000 and maybe XP.
Win7 and 64 bit to boot? I'm surprised you got that dinosaur to install.
This has been discussed to death…either find an old computer to run it on or do the smart thing and move to InDesign.
3. Re: Pagemaker and Windows 7kellir-nd Dec 8, 2011 9:32 AM (in response to BradSteiner)
Bob's right. Win7 is pushing it quite a bit. I was able to use it on a Vista system, but I had to "run as Administrator" and run in XP compatibility mode. It crashed everytime I closed out.
Also, some of the options in PM didn't quite work right in Vista. Workable if I needed to open a PM file to view something, but not the best scenario for editing anything.
The crashing is just something you will have to live with if you must use PM on Win7 unfortunately. The only tip I have is to be sure to save & close your files first, THEN shut down out of PM and it won't need to save file history that will annoy you the next time you open PM.
4. Re: Pagemaker and Windows 7Bob Caused This Feb 24, 2012 12:10 PM (in response to BradSteiner)
I get the same things...My solution. Just deal with it. I'm running PM 7.01a on Win 7 Ultimate and these are two bugs (not closing correcty, and no recent file list) that just comes with the 'setup'. I'm far more involved than just PM 7. I'm still using Adobe Acrobat 8 as well. After regressing and getting the splwow64.exe errors on my pdf exports, I upgraded to Acrobat 8.3.1 and now it's working fine again. But I was still able to print to .ps and distill during that time. In fact, I liked it somewhat better in that after the .ps file was created, PM was 'free' again instead of still being locked up while the distilling process continued. Other dirty laundry with PM 7 on Windows 7 Ultimate, the cursed .docx files not being recognized on import. But this was an issue on my XP Pro OS. I wouldn't call being unable to close a program properly 'crashing' technically. PM hasn't crashed on me yet, and seems to be stable while running, ie., no unexpected shut downs. The pdf printer port can be rather finicky when it comes to exporting successfully. I had to delete my old PS styles and recreate them, and in addition please make sure the 'compose to printer' option in document setup is set to the correct adobe pdf printer port, otherwise you will get an error on export. but as stated...working as expected...and I'm still learning as I go. Best of luck!~
5. Re: Pagemaker and Windows 7BobLevine Feb 24, 2012 12:16 PM (in response to Bob Caused This)
You seriously expect PM to read DOCX files?
6. Re: Pagemaker and Windows 7Bob Caused This Feb 24, 2012 12:25 PM (in response to BobLevine)
wasn't much of an issue until our office was upgraded to microsoft office 2010. of course there is always the save as word 97-2003 doc option, but this is an extra step that unfortunately can not be avoided with the 'setup'. one other dirtly laundry list...the CTL-SHIFT-0 shortcut doesn't show entire pastboard...go figure! otherwise, PM7 on Windows 7 Ultimate has been field tested and seems to hold its own. as i mentioned, my setup is far more involved with the old software i am running. adobe illustrator 9? c'mon! yup, it's true. it's like placing mighty putty on leaky pipes, but i suppose my weakness is that saying something that can't be done, shouldn't be done, or it just won't work, is like dangling a carrot in front of me. i quite frankly enjoy the challenge, and ultimately the satisfaction of how it feels to conquer!

Thank you for sharing and allowing me to be part of it.
9. Re: Pagemaker and Windows 7Bob Caused This Mar 7, 2012 12:01 PM (in response to Bob Caused This)
One update. Windows 7 Ultimate has its own 'Recent Documents' for each program (including PM7) on the Start Menu...so voila. Maybe it's not the same, but still it's something, which is better than nothing. More dirty laundry about PM7 is that sometimes the pdf import filter won't cooperate, ie: Page contains transparency. It will not look and print correctly. SOLUTION: take it in to Photoshop and flatten it into a tiff. Problem solved. This problem is not specific to the 64 bit OS as this happened while I was running XP Pro.

Pagemaker will only handle Acrobat 4 pdfs, anything newer and it doesn't know how to deal with it. Opening a pdf in photoshop rasterizes the text and any vector elements in the pdf. This is a less than ideal solution as it creates fuzzy text . A better way would be to convert the pdf in Acrobat pro to pdf 1.3 (acrobat 4) and place that in pagemaker. The one downside is that pagemaker is excruciatingly slow in it's pdf handling.
12. Re: Pagemaker and Windows 7Bob Caused This Mar 8, 2012 7:14 AM (in response to Jay Chevako)
thanks for the tip jay. i agree that rasterizing the text jeapordizes the quality slightly, but for what i'm doing it's good enough. plus the fact if the the text is 100K to begin with, then registration is a non-issue. one question. is this what is affectionatley known as 'refrying a pdf?' and what are the steps to complete the conversion? is it as simple as resaving the file in acrobat pro with a certain setting, or do i have to completely recreate the pdf in another program using different save settings? one quick note off topic. i do mostly all of my design work in photoshop. pagemaker is not a 'design' program for me. it is simple a page layout program. that's why i love it so much and hate to give it up. whatever i create in photshop just drops right in...it's hard to chage a creature of habit's perspective, ie. use indesign.
13. Re: Pagemaker and Windows 7CheryleDKing Mar 8, 2012 11:00 AM (in response to Bob Caused This)
Are you guys all computer techs? You are so smart. I used PageMaker for advertising layouts and correspondence, but now I just use it for letters and the like. I'm not doing the advertising now so its not so demanding, but I can't imagine even writing a letter without it! I miss it terribly.

Cheryle, I would say that every regular helper in this forum is an old PageMaker user who moved to InDesign years ago and keeps coming here mainly for sentimental reasons, to try giving a helping hand to those who still need it. Some of us have not used PM for many years (I am a Mac man, and PM simply cannot even be installed under Mac OS X; Win users have been luckier, although it is a lottery and a risk to install it in the latest versions of Windows), and so we have to rely only on our memories.
If you can still use PageMaker and do not need a more modern and complete application for important jobs, by all means keep on using and enjoying it. And if you have doubts or problems about using PM, this is the place to ask.
16. Re: Pagemaker and Windows 7CheryleDKing Mar 8, 2012 3:31 PM (in response to Claudio González)
Thank you so much! Have you found anything that is comparable to PageMaker? You guys are so far ahead of me, I'm sure if there's something you'll know what it is.
Again, thanks.
17. Re: Pagemaker and Windows 7Jay Chevako Mar 8, 2012 4:42 PM (in response to Bob Caused This)
Bob it can really affect the quality more than a little, when outputting to print vector text gets rasterized at the resolution of the printer, which for offset printing can be as high as 2540 dpi. Quality for web pdfs is a lot better with vector text, and the size of the pdfs is a lot smaller. But s for some jobs it can be good enough, frankly with Pagemakers lack of ability with pdfs it can be more trouble than it's worth.
Double check the color of your black text when you rasterize a pdf in photoshop, first off it's difficult to tell what color mode the pdf is in and if the person is actually using 100% K text and secondly the conversion in photoshop can change the color (using a custom cmyk conversion with max GCR is a way to ensure 100%K in photoshop). Indesign has a separations palette that makes checking entire documents much easier. If you have Acrobat pro you can use it's separation palette to check your pdfs from pagemaker
The conversion in Acrobat is a little unintuitive, the easiest way is to use the reduce file size option, checking the acrobat 4 option. Refrying a pdf usually refers to the practice of placing a pdf in a page layout program and then creating a new pdf.
Cheryle If you look at any thread you will find people recommending InDesign. Pagemaker is buggy and hasn't been updated in over a decade. If you go back into advertizing it's the way to go.
18. Re: Pagemaker and Windows 7Claudio González Mar 8, 2012 5:16 PM (in response to CheryleDKing)
Cheryle, we all have, and it has been repeated many times, even in this thread: InDesign. But I wouldn't reccomend ID to someone using a layout program only for writing letters...
19. Re: Pagemaker and Windows 7CheryleDKing Mar 8, 2012 5:32 PM (in response to Jay Chevako)
Thanks for the tip. I'll look into it. (Even though leaving PageMaker behind breaks my heart) I guess, like PageMaker, I'm a little behind the times~
20. Re: Pagemaker and Windows 7CheryleDKing Mar 8, 2012 5:34 PM (in response to Claudio González)

"Something comparable" to PageMaker would be Serif Page Plus. Go to Serif.com and download their free trial, or since it's really cheap, buy PagePlus X6, the latest version. Since you are not doing extensive page makeup, you might want to save a few more bucks by buying X5.

I don't really agree with that definition. Refrying is more opening it in Acrobat, exporting or printing to postscript and then distilling. In either event, you're going to cause way more problems than you solve in a majority of cases.
I would never even consider a PDF into Pagemaker. If someone insists on an archaic workflow, then use archaic file formats and export the PDF out of Acrobat as an EPS file and place that.
27. Re: Pagemaker and Windows 7Bob Caused This Mar 9, 2012 7:31 AM (in response to BobLevine)
Bob, as one who insists to continue an archaic workflow, I have had relatively few problems with placing pdf files into pagemaker. The times that a problem occurs, PM7 is quick to 'inform' me that a problem exists, mostly with transparencies, which usually consists of an image losing its clipping path and having the white box import as a 'tag along.' There was one occasion when PageMaker did not throw out an alert when the pdf failed to import properly, and along with a lazy eye in the proofing process, the white box printed in error (two of them -- sided by side!). But my question...why not flatten out the pdf in photoshop before placement? I mean yes, pretty archaic, but for me it's the simplest and safest solution. After all photoshop in the miracle program right? The anti-aliasing pretty much corrects any blurry text, and to the naked eye, i really don't see the difference (in print) placing a pure vector image vs. a pixel image. What's the advantage of saving the pdf out of acrobat as an eps again? Maybe i should try this instead. And mostly with washers, i've found it's either the 1) drive motor coupler, or 2) a dime stuck in the drain pump. Thanks.
28. Re: Pagemaker and Windows 7BobLevine Mar 9, 2012 7:37 AM (in response to Bob Caused This)
You are not flattening a PDF by opening it in Photoshop...you are rasterizing it. There is a tremendous difference there. Just as there is a difference between workarounds and solutions.
Pagemaker simply doesn't handle modern PDFs very well but it does handle EPS nicely. By creating an EPS from the PDF you are truly flattening the art and eliminating any transparency (like PM, EPS has no transparency support) but you retain any vector data in the file.
If you're going to insist on sticking with PM, which is your prerogative, you should stick to safe workflows.
29. Re: Pagemaker and Windows 7Bob Caused This Mar 9, 2012 7:59 AM (in response to BobLevine)
You know, i just ran a 'test' and i feel that saving the pdf as an eps may become part of my workflow now. But, as you can see below, the top pdf was saved out of Acrobat Pro 8.3.1 as an eps with Default Settings. The bottom ad was taken into photoshop and 'rasterized'. I don't like the darker photo in the top image though (eps). I'm sure it's hard for you to tell. I think photoshop did a much better job at retaining original color profile in the image of the mulcher. My next question. What settings should i use when saving as an eps? I have (4) 'tabs'. 1. General 2) Output 3) Marks and Bleeds 4) Postcript Options. One thing I felt was 'odd' was that in the Output tab, the Printer Profile default setting is "Printer/Postcript Color Management." Should this be changed to 'Same As Source (No Color Mangement) ???
30. Re: Pagemaker and Windows 7BobLevine Mar 9, 2012 8:03 AM (in response to Bob Caused This)
Without seeing the actual files it's very hard. Best advice I can give you is to experiment with those settings.
31. Re: Pagemaker and Windows 7Bob Caused This Mar 9, 2012 8:07 AM (in response to BobLevine)
Will do. Something new to play around with. Thanks for your suggestion.
32. Re: Pagemaker and Windows 7kellir-nd Mar 9, 2012 8:50 AM (in response to BradSteiner)
I would never even consider a PDF into Pagemaker.
... but you CAN place PDF's in Pagemaker, no problem! They just have to be saved as an Acrobat 4.0 version. I keep a copy of Acrobat 5.0 Distiller on my computer (which produces Acrobat 4.0 versions), along with my Acrobat 9.0 Distiller (to make PDF's in InDesign, etc. This version will support transparency effects, whereas Distiller 5.0 will not).
Whenever I use Pagemaker for those files I'd like to keep in Pagemaker, I distill the postscript through the Acrobat 5.0. The PDF's place in Pagemaker everytime.
And regarding the "taking a problem PDF into Photoshop"... there's a way easier way around it. Once you open the PDF in Photoshop, usually a window will pop up where you can change the resolution to 1000. Then save the PDF as an EPS, and run the EPS through your Distiller on high resolution settings. If you make sure the end result is your PDF saved as an Acrobat 4.0 version, it will place in Pagemaker. The Photoshop trick changes all fonts to curves, and any images/graphics you had now will just be embedded in the PDF and not have problematic links if that's what was causing the issue. You now have a problem-free PDF, and the changing of the resolution to 1000 makes the PDF look almost as good of quality as what you had to begin with.
33. Re: Pagemaker and Windows 7BobLevine Mar 9, 2012 8:56 AM (in response to kellir-nd)
That may well be the worst advice I've ever seen. You will still wind up with a rasterized file.
On top of that, no version of distiller will give you a PDF with transparency.
Distiller uses postscript which has no support whatsoever for transparency.
Additionally, you should never have more than one version of Acrobat/distiller/Reader installed on a machine.
34. Re: Pagemaker and Windows 7kellir-nd Mar 9, 2012 9:40 AM (in response to BradSteiner)
1st Fact is: IT WORKS. I do this EVERY WEEK, and ads are sent to several publications, and they all run just like I sent them.
2nd Fact is: I've had 2 versions of Acrobat on my machine for several years. Acrobat 5.0 came on the disk with PM7 and is meant to be used with PM7. That's the only thing that version is used for. No, it's not the best scenario to have 2 versions of Acrobat on your computer, but honestly, it doesn't HURT anything, and if you need it to make PM work correctly, what's the problem?
And if you think about it... if someone is creating their design work in Pagemaker, there ISN'T any transparency effects available, so why the debate on transparency? No, Acrobat 5.0 does not support transparencies. But that's a mute point since this guy is talking about he needs to place the PDF's in Pagemaker. I gave the solution: change the version of the PDF to 4.0. You can do this in Acrobat 9.0 as a matter of fact by setting up a job option to change the PDF down to that version. If you run into transparency issue because the design work was made in a more advanced application, but you HAVE to get it to work in Pagemaker as a placed PDF, then your next step is to do the Photoshop trick. I GUARANTEE it will work, and if someone didn't tell you what had been done to the PDF, you'd never know by looking at final quality when it prints. And no... the printers at these publications do not have trouble with my files.
This isn't some crazy idea I came up with myself, it was taught to me by a well-known PDF expert, so please, watch the tone. This isn't the "worst advice." These people that come here are looking for help because they are in Pagemaker for a reason. They don't need to be told they are behind the times and should be using ID... EVERY. DARN. TIME. Sometimes that's not an option for people. I use both, for very good reasons. I watch these posts and jump in when I can help. These people just want an answer and solution to their issue, and some of us just want to help with advice that has and IS working for us. You are discouraging people from helping those in need when you say things like that.
BobCausedThis: The Photoshop trick for problematic PDF's: TRY IT. It doesn't hurt anything to try it. It works, I swear. And, if you need to know the best settings for your Distiller, contact the publication you are working with and ask them. They will tell you exactly what settings they will prefer. Some even give screen shots of each tab in Distiller!
35. Re: Pagemaker and Windows 7BobLevine Mar 9, 2012 9:45 AM (in response to kellir-nd)
Acrobat 5 (PDF version 1.4) does support transparency but only when exported from an application that supports it.
You've missed the entire point here. The PDF that BCD was placing were not created by Pagemaker…they were created by another application that does support transparency.
Finally, just because you've been lucky enough to get away with this doesn't mean it's a good idea.
36. Re: Pagemaker and Windows 7kellir-nd Mar 9, 2012 10:08 AM (in response to BradSteiner)
Yes... very minimal transparency effects are supported in Acrobat 5.0. Agreed. Was trying to simplify my expanation at the time.
And no, I haven't missed the point. Reread my post, my solution is then to take those PDF's created in other applications with more advanced effects that seem to be causing problems when trying to place in PM... and do the Photoshop trick I explained.
You may consider my solution "luck," but it's not luck. THOUSANDS of times working is not luck. It is then considered a tried & true METHOD. It's a better idea than NO SOLUTION, or than being told they are using archaic methods. That kind of answer helps no one with their issue.
I'm seriously not trying to give you a hard time here, but asking that you not give the rest of us a hard time when we're looking for a way to make things work in PM, or are trying to help those that need it. When a printer tells me my files aren't working anymore, than I know my method is not a solution any longer. This hasn't happened! As I said, been doing this for years and it works EVERY TIME.
37. Re: Pagemaker and Windows 7Bob Caused This Mar 9, 2012 10:57 AM (in response to kellir-nd)
That's pretty good proof imo. I just pulled out a copy of our company's latest tabloid newsprint. And the ad that I'm looking at (which was brought into photoshop and rasterized), looks pretty darn good, specifically the text. Granted it is 100k, but our printer has been known to have registration issues. And as I have explained before, I'm rasterizing those problem pdfs which fail to import properly into pagemaker. I'm just giving them a quick hit in photoshop. Nothing fancy -- open at 300dpi, cmyk and i'm on my way -- save as tiff, import to PM7....done. Nothing fancy at all. It works for me, and apparently everybody else. If i took a loop to the page, then sure I could tell the text isn't as crisp as it could be. But after all is said and done -- good enough, and in my business, that is the norm. I guess if I have any point at all, the more I think about it, anything above what I'm already doing is overkill. If no one is complaining then why should I change? However, if there is a "better" way then how am I to find out unless I inquire? I appreciate everyone's comments! But maybe the old saying is true -- if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
38. Re: Pagemaker and Windows 7BobLevine Mar 9, 2012 11:13 AM (in response to kellir-nd)
The support for transparency is identical in Acrobat 5 as it is in 10.
And yes, I am giving you a hard time (please don't take it personally) because everything you are advising the OP to do goes against every bit of best practice you'll find.
Again, just because it works for you doesn't make it a good idea.
39. Re: Pagemaker and Windows 7kellir-nd Mar 9, 2012 12:14 PM (in response to BobLevine)
Okay Bob. It appears you need to have the last word... so be sure to respond to this so you can get the last word in, as I am done with this discussion. I got my ideas across to BobCausedThis, and that's all I wanted to do.
And just so you know, I am well aware that the method of how the distilling process is handled in both versions works the same, HOWEVER, try to design an ad with several transparency effects in ID CS5, make a postscript, and run it through Acrobat 5.0. WON'T WORK. It DOES NOT support the newer, fancier transparency effects. FACT.
Anyway, I'm done. And you've driven me away from wanting to answer any more people that need help with PM things IN THIS FORUM. I will send them a private message in the future and leave you out of it. Your attitude really annoys me... and is why I don't answer most days. Good job driving people away from what could be a very helpful forum. I recall a series of posts in the past where a few of you "community professionals" mentioned that no one that currently uses PM ever comes back to help others once they've been helped on here. I tried. Several times. Everytime you shoot my ideas down that I know work... for more than just me, because I've shared them with others in my field, and it works for them too. Good job, Bob. Buh bye.

I am sorry that rebound and bucket by Brandon Wright in traffic was just SICK
At least for the fourth quarter what really stands out is the rebounding. We can have poor on the ball defense, and a brick show but with DLee swallowing boards gone are the days of the Nellie small ball lineup and giving easy second chance shots ...big big difference.

I totally loved the brilliant records the Jackson 5 made. I liked a big chunk of Michael Jackson's solo records. But when I heard he had died I felt nothing. Absolutely nothing. I still don't. And now I know why:
Comment on Current Events by the Author of "The Long Emergency"
"The Man in the Mirror"
By James Howard Kunstler
June 29, 2009
As America entered the horse latitudes of summer, befogged in a muffling stillness on deceptively calm seas, we were distracted for a while by visions of a pale death angel moonwalking across the deck of collective consciousness. Eerie parallels resound between the sordid demise of pop singer Michael Jackson and the fate of the nation.
Like the United States, Michael Jackson was spectacularly bankrupt, reportedly in the range of $800-million, which is rather a lot for an individual. Had he lived on a few more years, he might have qualified for his own TARP program -- another piece of expensive dead-weight down in the economy's bilges -- since it is our established policy now to throw immense sums of so-called "money" at gigantic failing enterprises (while millions of ordinary citizens wash overboard, without so much as a life-preserver). Anyway, Michael Jackson was on the receiving end of one huge bank loan after another long after his pattern of profligacy was set and obvious. They threw money at him for the same reason that the federal government throws money at entities like CitiBank: the desperate hope that some miracle will allow debt servicing to resume. Michael could burn through $50-million in half a year. It didn't seem to affect his credibility as a borrower. When his heart stopped last week, he was living in a Hollywood mansion that rented for several hundred thousand dollars a month. You wonder how the landlord cashed those checks.
Like the USA, Michael Jackson was a has-been. He hadn't recorded a song worth listening to in over two decades. He had done almost nothing but spin his wheels, hop around the globe from one place to another at enormous expense, and make himself available for award ceremonies to stoke his ego (and give advertisers a reason to promote some televised award show). He existed strictly on image, an anorectic figure nourished by moonbeams of attention, famous for saying that he loved his worshippers when the truth was he merely sucked the life out of them. In his last years, he even looked a bit like Nosferatu, the personification of the un-dead, and his fascination with ghouls was the basis for his biggest hit way back in the last century. A zombie
nation deserves a zombie mascot.
He was a poseur, vamping in weird military outfits as though he were a five-star general in the Honduran army, or a character from a melodrama by the reprobate Jean Genet. He once materialized during halftime at the Superbowl in a shower of sparks, thrilling the multitudes while grabbing and stroking his sex organs, as though that was a heroic activity -- and indeed the nation seemed to emulate him as its culture became dedicated more and more to acting out masturbation fantasies. America was a fat man jerking off on the sofa watching a vampire of no particular sex vogue deliriously on the boob tube.
More than once the authorities tried to pin charges of child molestation on him for suspicious activities at his boy-trap, Neverland Ranch, with its carnival rides, private zoo, video game galleries, and inexhaustible supplies of sugary treats. The first time he settled with the alleged victim's family for $22-million. They just walked away with the loot and happily shut up. The second time, he moonwalked out of a court-of-law while weeks later jurors mysteriously went on TV to say, well, they did kind of think after-the-fact that he really did those things he was accused of, but, you know.... The defendant himself behaved as though his trial were a TV celebrity challenge show on another planet, arriving on one occasion twenty minutes late in pajamas with some lame excuse about a backache. He spent the last years of his life wandering a few steps ahead of his creditors, gulling concert promoters into "comeback" schemes (with walking-around money up front), and with three bought-and-paid-for children, obviously not his own, for consolation.
When he dropped dead last week, the nation's morbidly maudlin response suggested a cover story for the relief of being rid of him and all the embarrassment he provoked. One CNN reporter called him a genius the equal of Mozart. That's a little like calling Rachel Maddow the reincarnation of Eleanor Roosevelt. A nation addicted to lying to itself tells itself fairy tales instead of facing a pathology report. Yet, like Michael Jackson, the undertone of horror story still pulses darkly in the background. The little boy who grew up to be the simulation of a girl was really a werewolf. The nation that defeated manifest evil in World War Two woke up one day years later to find itself stripped of its manhood, mentally enslaved to cheap entertainments, and hostage to its own grandiosity. Maybe in grieving so exorbitantly over this freak America is grieving for itself. All the loose talk about "love" from the media and the fans gives off the odor of self-love. America is "the man in the mirror," the gigantic, floundering Narcissus, sailing into the stormy seas of history.

Nitto Auto Enthusiast Day Details:
- Nitto Tire held the inaugural Auto Enthusiast day at Auto Club Speedway
- Event commemorates Nitto's five millionth Facebook "like"
- Hundreds of show cars on display amid pouring rain
- Drift demo and ride-alongs put on by Nitto pros
Nitto Tire prides itself on being an enthusiast brand, one that caters to all levels of driver, and to that end does a lot of outreach to engage its base. Recently, some of those efforts paid off big time when the company soared past five million "likes" on its Facebook page, an amazing number any way you slice it. To commemorate the feat, Nitto staged its first ever Auto Enthusiast Day on Saturday, December 7, in the infield parking lot at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif. Organizers promised hundreds of show cars and a drifting demo, with sponsored drivers Vaughn Gittin, Jr. and Matt Powers giving ride-alongs to a few select raffle winners.
What Nitto didn't bank on was the early-season winter rainstorm that moved through the area Saturday morning and early afternoon. While it wasn't pouring the entire time, there was enough rainfall in the first few hours of the show that we're almost certain more than a few potential showers were discouraged from coming out.
It didn't stop us, though. Rolling in at noon of the 11am-to-4pm soiree, we sloshed around the aisles and aisles of show cars, each one beading with precipitation courtesy of Mother Nature. The selection ran the gamut: tuner cars, VIP, motorsports machines, Euros, and a handful of old-school whips, supplemented by a smattering of trucks and a sizable showing of American iron.
We've been in a cargo-hauling frame of mind lately, and immediately got all tingly inside when we spotted the done-up TSX wagon chilling by the RS*R booth, though the Kranze Vishnu's were a little much. However, our pick of the litter at Auto Enthusiast Day was the decidedly less flashy Akebono EF Civic hatchback - simple, tucked, and altogether clean.
If you came out to Auto Enthusiast Day, you had fun, in spite of the crap weather. Considering what Nitto was able to pull together for so late in the year, we're really hoping they do this again, and with any luck Mother Nature will cut the event some slack next time. Big ups to Nitto Tire for five million Facebook fans, a truly impressive milestone. For more photos (including drifting action), hit up Super Street magazine's online coverage of the event.

Rule 504. No Affirmance, Reversal or Dismissal for Want of Form or Substance (1984)
The Supreme Court will not affirm or reverse a judgment or dismiss a writ of error for defects or irregularities in appellate procedure, either of form or substance, without allowing a reasonable time to correct or amend such defects or irregularities.
Amended by order of Dec. 5, 1983, eff. April 1, 1984: The rule is amended to avoid conflict with Rule 21c.
|Prior Amendments
|Future Amendments
|Oct. 29, 1940, eff. Sept. 1, 1941
|Repealed by order of April 10, 1986, eff. Sept. 1, 1986

(No. 42) Question: Where there is not a complete statement of facts on appeal will all reasonable presumptions be indulged in favor of the judgment of the lower court as was the rule under the former practice?
Answer: Our correspondent, in support of his view of the law under the former practice cites inter alia: O'Brien v. Hart, 80 S.W.2d 464 (Tex. Civ. App.-Beaumont, 1935); Sawyer v. First Nat'l Bank of Hico, 41 Tex.Civ.App. 486, 498, 93 S.W. 151, 158 (1906); Newnom v. Williamson, 46 Tex.Civ.App. 615, 103 S.W. 656 (1907).
The subcommittee is of the opinion that the presumption referred to would not apply under the new rules.
Our correspondent observes that: "If this same presumption should be indulged under the new rules, we would defeat the very purpose intended to be accomplished by authorizing the filing of only a partial statement of facts."
This observation seems to the subcommittee to be correct in the light of wording in the rules which is now recited.
A main purpose of the rules concerning appeal is announced by Rule 370 in this way:
"In view of the crowded condition of the dockets of the appellate courts, the record and briefs on appeal should be limited as far as possible to the questions relied on for reversal. The primary purpose of the courts is to administer justice between the parties with as little expense and delay as possible. Liberal provisions are therefore made in these rules for amendments' on appeal to bring forward any material matter which may have been omitted. With this protection the bar is expected to cooperate in shortening the records in furtherance of the provisions of these rules."
Pursuant to this purpose, Rule 377, respecting the statement of facts, requires that: "All matters not essential to the decision of the questions presented on appeal shall be omitted."
At a later point the same rule, carrying out this policy, reads that: " ... the appellant shall deliver or mail to the appellee or his counsel and file with the clerk of the court a designation in writing of the portions of the evidence desired, and shall specify the portions desired in narrative form, if any, and the portions desired in question and answer form, if any, and the portions that are desired to be omitted. Within ten days thereafter any other party to the appeal may file a designation in writing of any additional portions of the evidence to be included, specifying the portion desired in narrative form, if any, and the portions desired in question and answer form, if any."
Then there is this further alternative practice looking to the same end:
"Rule 377-a. Statement of the Points to Be Relied On. - For the purpose of inducing the opposing party to accept an abbreviated transcript or statement of facts, the appellant, or the appellee to the extent that he complains of the judgment or any part thereof, may file with the clerk of the trial court a statement of the points on which he intends to rely on appeal; and he shall thereafter be limited to such points."
It will be seen from these rules that the appellee may readily get into the statement of facts anything that the appellant omits. For this reason and in order to encourage curtailment of the statement of facts, it seems to be within the purpose of the' rules to depart from the old presumption.
If it should be that either of the parties omits something that should be in the statement of facts, there are liberal provisions in the rules for amendment even after the statement of facts gets into the appellate court. One of the rules to this end is 428. It reads:
"If anything material to either party is omitted from the transcript or statement of facts, the parties by stipulation, or the trial court, either before or after the record has been transmitted to the appellate court, or the appellate court, on a proper suggestion or on its own initiative, may direct a supplemental record to be certified and transmitted by the clerk of the trial court supplying such omitted matter."
Another of the rules to the same end is 437. It applies to the Courts of Civil Appeals, and reads:
"A judgment shall not be affirmed or reversed or an appeal dismissed for defects or irregularities in appellate procedure, either of form or substance, without allowing a reasonable time to correct or amend such defects or irregularities, provided the court may make no enlargement of time prohibited by Rule 5 nor any enlargement of the time for filing transcript and statement of facts except as contemplated by Rule 386." (The exceptions have nothing to do with the present situation.)
Rule 504 applies to the Supreme Court and is to the same effect.
So that, the subcommittee agrees with its correspondent's views when he says in concluding his letter:
"In view of the abundant provisions contained in the new rules authorizing the appellee to designate any additional matter which he desires to have brought up on the statement of facts, and further provisions allowing him to supplement the statement of facts later, if necessary, the old presumption should not prevail."
5 Tex. B.J. 236 (1942) reprinted in 8 Tex. B.J. 17 (1945).
(No. 69) Question: Does the answer in No. 42 on Page 236 of 5 Tex. B.J. undertake hold that all presumptions in favor of the judgment of a lower court are to be done away with?
Answer: No. The intention was to say that there will be no presumption that matter omitted from the statement of facts sustains the judgment.
5 Tex. B.J. 428 (1942) reprinted in 8 Tex. B.J. 27 (1945).
(No. 55) Question: 1. Where an application for writ of error was filed and granted before the rules became effective, may the Supreme Court after such rules have become effective properly dismiss such an application without allowing an amendment, upon the ground that jurisdiction because of conflict of decisions is not correctly shown, and properly overrule a motion to amend in such respect?
2. How and under what circumstances may an application for writ of error in the Supreme Court be amended?
Answer: Rule 814 insofar as it is applicable reads: "These rules shall take effect on September 1, 1941. They shall govern all proceedings in actions brought after they take effect and also further proceedings in actions then pending.... "
We are of the opinion that motion to amend, as well as the overruling of such a motion and the dismissal of a writ of error, would be "further proceedings" as contemplated by the above rule.
Rule 1 requires that the rules be given a liberal construction "to obtain a just, fair, equitable and impartial adjudication of the rights of litigants under established principles of substantive law." It is the clear intent of Rules 481 and 504 that the appellate courts should allow reasonable amendments at any time to correct or amend defects or irregularities in want of form. Rule 437, which is applicable to the Courts of Civil Appeals, provides, in substance, that a judgment should not be affirmed or reversed or an appeal dismissed for defects or irregularities in appellate procedure, "either of form or substance, without allowing a reasonable time to correct or amend such defects or irregularities provided the court may make no enlargement of time prohibited by Rule 5 nor any enlargement of time for filing transcript or statement of facts except as contemplated by Rule 387." Rule 504, which specifically applies to the Supreme Court, is to the same effect as Rule 437, which, as stated, applies to actions pending in the Courts of Civil Appeals.
The committee strongly believes that Rules 437, 481, and 504 mark an advanced step in procedure, and that compliance with them will enable the courts in the future to dispose of cases on their merits and reduce to a minimum dismissals for technical procedural defects.
No purpose stands out in the rules with greater prominence than this, viz.; that the attainment of justice, according to the principles of substantive law, is the desideratum in every case; that the rules of procedure should expedite, and not frustrate, the trial of cases on their merit and that irregularities either in matters of form or substance should be, disregarded unless such indulgence and liberality will result in injustice.
Cochran v. Wool Growers Central Storage Co., 140 Tex. 904, 166 S.W.2d 904 (1943), which passes upon a motion to amend an application for writ of error is, we think, in accordance with the above views.
Where the question is raised as to whether the court should dismiss a granted writ of error because of fault in the wording or showing of the application we think that Rule 504, already cited; mandatorily conditions such an order upon the allowance of amendment, for such rule, insofar as here applicable, reads:
"The Supreme Court will not affirm or reverse a judgment or dismiss a writ of error for defects or irregularities in appellate procedure either of form or substance, without allowing a reasonable time to correct or amend such defects or irregularities... "
This mandatory provision for amendment only applies, however, where, the court bases its action upon some such fault.
For a feasible practice in this connection see Hodo v. Mexican Nat'l R.R. Co., 88 Tex. 523, 524, 32 S.W. 511 (1895), and Hilliard v. White, 88 Tex. 591, 593, 32 S.W. 525, 526 (1895).
6 Tex. B.J. 20 (1943) reprinted in 8 Tex. B.J. 30 (1945).
(No. 91) Question: Do the rules which authorize an abbreviation of the record on appeal allow the omission from the transcript of documents showing the jurisdiction of the trial or appellate court? Does Opinion No. 42 of the subcommittee militate against such procedure?
Answer: Opinion No. 42 was only intended to relate to that presumption which had been indulged in by appellate courts to the effect that where the statement of facts was incomplete it would be presumed that the omitted matter was sufficient to sustain the judgment of the trial court. Our Opinion No. 42 related to matters omitted from the statement of facts, and it did not relate to the transcript, nor did it undertake to suggest a rule showing what papers should be contained in the transcript to establish the jurisdiction of the trial or appellate court.
We call attention to Opinion No. 69, 5 Tex. B.J. 428, which construes Opinion No. 42 and states that it was not the intention of Opinion No. 42 to say that all presumptions in favor of the judgment of a lower court are to be done away with, the intention merely being to say that there will be no presumption that matter which is omitted from the statement of facts sustained the judgment of the trial court.
The rules provide that when matter is omitted from the transcript the parties shall be given an opportunity to complete the transcript and bring up any omitted document should such document be deemed material. In other words, if the appellate court feels that the petition and bond from the justice's court or any other document should appear in the record in order to give the Court of Civil Appeals jurisdiction, then the rules provide that the parties should be given an opportunity to bring up the omitted documents, and the appeal should not be dismissed without first affording this opportunity. Rules 437, 504.
6 Tex. B.J. 500 (1943) reprinted in 8 Tex. B.J. 36 (1945).
(No. 131) Question: In San Antonio Joint Stock Bank v. Malcher, 164 S.W.2d 197, 199 (Tex. Civ. App.-San Antonio 1942), the Court of Civil Appeals held that points presented by appellant, but not briefed were waived. The decision was followed by Piedmont Fire Ins. Co. v. Ladin, 174 S.W.2d 991 (Tex. Civ. App.-Galveston 1943) and, during the present year, by Broussard v. L. Cartwright Realty Co., 179 S.W.2d 777 (Tex. Civ. App.-Amarillo 1944), and Orange Laundry Co. v. Stark, 179 S.W.2d 841 (Tex. Civ. App.-Amarillo 1944). Has appellant any remedy in a Case of this sort?
Answer: Yes. His most obvious remedy is, of course, to comply with the briefing rules when he prepares his brief.
We are of the opinion that he has another remedy; that is, a motion to amend. We beg to quote from a number of rules and cases in support of this answer.
Rule 422. The purpose of briefs being to acquaint the court with the points relied upon, the manner in which they arose, together with such argument of facts and law as will enable the court to decide the same, a substantial compliance with these rules will suffice in the interest of justice; but for a flagrant violation of the rules the court may require the case to be rebriefed.
Rule 429. Should it be apparent during the submission or afterwards that the case has not been properly prepared, as shown in the transcript, or properly presented in the brief or briefs, or that 'the law and authorities have not been properly cited, which will enable the court to decide the case, it may decline to receive the submission; or, if received, may set it aside and make such orders as may be necessary to secure a more satisfactory submission of the case; ...
Rule 431. Briefs may be amended or supplemented at any time when justice requires upon such reasonable terms as the court may prescribe, and if the court shall strike or refuse to consider any part of a brief, the court shall on reasonable terms allow the same to be amended or supplemented.
Rule 437. A judgment shall not be affirmed or reversed or an appeal dismissed for defects or irregularities in appellate procedure, either of form or substance, without allowing a reasonable time to correct or amend such defects or irregularities, ... "
In Gillette Motor Transp. Co. v. Wichita Falls & S. Ry. Co., 170 S.W.2d 629 (Tex. Civ. App.-Fort Worth 1943), the Court decided that under the rules above quoted it could, as it did, "after submission of the cause, allow amendment of 'appellant's brief' in order to present points of error not presented in the original brief."
There are similar rules as to applications for writ of error and briefs in the Supreme Court, viz. Rules 469 subd. (f), 481, 491, and 504.
In Cochran v. Wool Growers Central Storage Co., 162 S.W.2d 941 (Tex. 1942), the Supreme Court, having previously granted a writ of error, dismissed it because the application in its Grounds of Jurisdiction on the subject of conflicts of decisions was not in accordance with the rules. Subsequently, on motion far rehearing, it observed that the application had been filed before the rules went into effect but granted a motion to amend which was filed after their effective date, saying in support of its action: "An examination of Rule 481, supra, will disclose that it provides: 'The application, ... may be amended at any time when justice requires and upon such reasonable terms as the Court may prescribe...' Rule 504, supra, provides: 'The Supreme Court will not ... dismiss a writ of error for defects or irregularities in appellate procedure, either of form or substance, without allowing a reasonable time to correct or amend such defects or irregularities,...' Clearly these two rules authorize this court to grant one who prosecutes a writ of error to this court the right to amend his application, where it is defective either as to form or substance. Such being the case, an application which is defective, in that it fails to properly state grounds of jurisdiction under Section 1 of Article 1821, R.C.S., or Subdivision (b) of Rule 469, can be amended in this court at any time when, in the opinion of the court, justice so requires. Furthermore, we think the right to amend maybe granted even though the original application for writ of error was filed before the effective date of Rules 481 and 504, supra. This holding in no way violates Rule 814, supra, defining the effective date of our present Texas Rules of Civil Procedure. We will therefore order that the amended application for writ of error be filed, and will now consider this case on such amended application."
See also Moore v. Dilworth, 142 Tex. 538, 179 S.W.2d 940 (1944), in which the same court refused to consider a point of error which was contained in neither the motion for rehearing nor the application. The court, however, took care to add: "It would serve no purpose in this instance to permit the application for writ of error to be amended under Rule 504 because the point was not assigned in the motion for rehearing in the Court of Civil Appeals."
These decisions, and the rules upon which they are based very clearly indicate, we think, that a proper practice on behalf of a party whose appellate contentions have not been considered an account of fault in briefing may and, when he actually has a meritorious contention, should be motion to amend.
