Writing in the World of Avatar | |||
General information | |||
Writing materials
Writing in the Avatar World is achieved through several means. This is primarily through the use of brush, ink and paper; however, there are also engravings. The actual written language is Chinese, with thousands of characters made up of different kinds of strokes, and is usually written top down or right to left, though this is not always the case.
The brush is the traditional writing implement in the World of Avatar. The body of the brush can be made from bamboo, wood, or other rarer materials. On the other hand, the head of the brush can be made from the hair of a wide variety of animals.
Paper is used for scrolls, books, letters, and memos. Paperweights are typically used to smooth out the paper for writing; these are, basically, just two plain rectangular blocks of wood.
Traditional Chinese characters are used for all writing in the Avatar World. There are tens of thousands of characters, but only a few thousand are required for day-to-day communication. There are several types of characters used in order to complete a sentence and thus be able to make text readable.
- Pictograms - These characters are derived from stylized, simplified drawings of an object. This type of character is used to represent that object. Examples include 日 for "sun", 月 for "moon".
- Ideograms - Although not a direct derivative of pictures like pictograms, ideograms are related to them in that they are a stylized abstract representation of an idea. Direct examples include 上 "up" and 下 "down". Notice that the character for up literally points up and the other literally points down.
- Ideogrammic compounds - These are created through combining elements of pictograms and ideograms to form another abstract representation of an idea or object. An example is that doubling the pictogram 木 "tree" produces 林 "forest". There are literally more trees. The existence of this category as an independent category is disputed in the real world.
- Phono-semantic compounds - The name is complex, but most characters fall under this category. It is impossible to be able to draw absolutely everything into a character, hence the existence and size of this category. These characters are usually made of two parts. One part is a small pictograph that gives a representation of the idea of the character, called the radical, and the other, larger part is another character that gives an idea to the pronunciation of the character. For example, one of the characters for river is 河. The three strokes to the left make up the radical representing anything to do with water or liquids, and the right part is the character 可.
- There are a few more categories, but the above are enough to summarize the types of existing characters.
Calligraphy is a form of art where one writes, or rather, draws or paints characters in a particularly artistic way to emphasize its beauty and shape. The paper, ink, brush, and inkstone are essential implements in calligraphy. A paperweight is also used to keep the paper straight and flat on the table, negating the need for one's hand to touch the clean paper. Only the highest quality types are used. Piandao taught Sokka its basics.

A newspaper is a type of inexpensive daily publication found in Republic City that communicates news stories, current events, and informational articles about the goings on in and around the city. At least three different newspapers operate in the city: the Yuan News (元訊), the Republic News (共和國新聞), and the United Daily News (聯合日報).
The set of Chinese characters used in Avatar is the traditional set, used regularly in modern Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau, as well as overseas Chinese communities. It is used when creating formal documents in China and many other Asian countries. Many characters were simplified in the 20th century as part of a literacy campaign by the Chinese Communist party, and the simplified set of characters is mostly used for every-day reading and writing in Mainland China. Readers should note that contrary to popular belief, most Chinese characters are not stylized representations of pictures, that is, most characters are not pictograms. Though many of the characters once were pictograms, centuries of change has rendered the resemblance almost non-existent.
- The written Chinese content in Avatar: The Last Airbender was provided by cultural consultant Dr. Siu-Leung Lee. He handled all of the translation and calligraphy for Avatar: The Last Airbender, including the calligraphy for the logo. His vast knowledge of various styles of calligraphy throughout China's history added a culturally grounding component to the show. While most of the Chinese used was classical Chinese, S. L. Lee used his deep knowledge of archaic Chinese for ancient texts about spirits or elements.
- The writing in the movie adaptation The Last Airbender uses a made-up language influenced by Chinese calligraphy, instead of using Written Chinese as done in the original animated series.

Other Campus Policies
12 Credit-Hour Housing Policy
SJU undergraduate students must be enrolled for a minimum of twelve (12) credit hours per semester to remain eligible for campus housing. Students must vacate their assigned housing within forty-eight (48) hours if any of the following occur:
- the student loses his status as an enrolled student
- the student fails to register for academic course work
- the student fails to maintain the minimum of twelve (12) credit hours per semester
Exceptions to the policy must be approved by the Director of Residential Life and Housing or designee.
SJU Residency Requirement
The private, Benedictine, residential, liberal arts identity of Saint John's University is such that we are providing an overall experience which includes a centrally important community living component. Beginning with those enrolling in the Fall 2008 semester, Saint John's students are required to live on campus, unless granted permission from Residential Life and Housing, to live at home (with parents) or off campus (during their junior and senior year).
Break Policies
Students who need to stay on campus during any break period must complete and submit an Break Request Form (CSB/SJU username and password required).
Residential Life secures all residences during breaks, which prohibits access to the residences. A student who accesses his residence during a break period without prior permission will be charged $25/day not to exceed $100/week. Housing is not available during break periods unless the student has requested break housing by the announced deadline prior to each break period. Students found to be using campus housing during breaks without authorization may be required to vacate the residence for the remainder of the time during which occupancy is not permitted.
Residential Life officially closes all campus housing during the following breaks:
- Thanksgiving Break
- Semester Break
- Spring Break
- Easter Break
Residential Life reserves the right to deny any student permission to remain in campus housing over any break period. All Campus Housing and University conduct policies must be followed or the privilege of staying on campus during break periods may be revoked. Guest visitation is limited during break periods. Unauthorized and/or distruptive social gatherings are not permitted in campus housing during break periods.
During the semester break, all regular locks will be changed to security locks in all residential areas, except rooms, suites or apartments where residents have been granted permission to remain on campus. Card access to Placid/Maur will be deactivated for all apartments, except for those residents have been granted permission to remain on campus.
Only varsity athletes, out of state or international students, and student employees (in essential on campus services), will be granted permission to remain on campus during all breaks.
Fire Safety
Reviewed and updated: August 2011
- Parking Regulations
- Christmas Decorations
- Barbeque Grills
- False Alarms
- Electric Cords/Wiring
- Safety Violations
To insure proper building evacuation in an emergency, exits must remain usable by everyone at all times; and adequate access to the exits must be maintained. Any deviations from the following rules must be cleared in advance with the fire chief. Inspections will be made by the fire chief to assure compliance. The following specific regulations are enforced:
- Exits shall never be locked except in such a manner that they may be opened from the inside by simply using the panic bar on the door. Doors without panic bars are not to be locked.
- Decorations, etc, must be designed so as to ensure that all exit signs are clearly visible.
- In any arrangement of tables or chairs, a minimum aisle clearance of 3' must be maintained leading to all exits.
- No one may be allowed to stand in aisle spaces either as a standing room observer, or while waiting to be seated. Clear exit aisles must be maintained at all times.
The following guidelines are aimed at limiting the possibility of serious fire:
- No open flames are permitted, nor is possession of items capable of producing an open flame (candles, incense, etc.).
- All hanging decorations should be made from fireproof or self-extinguishing materials.
- Fire extinguishers and fire hoses provided in an area must remain clearly visible as such.
- No live Christmas trees or branches are allowed in any student residence.
- Halogen lamps and lava-style lamps are not permitted in any student residence.
Parking Regulations in regard to fire lanes:
- All fire lanes must remain clear in case of a fire-related and/or medical emergency vehicles need to gain access to any building.
- As such, please note the following:
a. You must have specific permission from Life Safety Services to use the fire lanes.
b. Only students with documented physical problems, who receive permission from Life Safety services, may have short term use of the fire lanes.
c. The penalties for parking in the fire lanes at SJU are either a fine or your vehicle may be towed off the campus property.
Please Note:
** Fire lane gates do sometimes get opened; this does not mean that you may use the fire lane for personal vehicles or loading/unloading vehicles.
** Parking in a fire lane with your flashers on does not give you the right to park there.
** If injured and prior approval from an on-duty Life Safety Officer has not been obtained and a ticket has been received, that ticket cannot be appealed.
Christmas decorations are allowed in the residence hallways in the dorms on campus. The requirements for decorations are as follows:
- No paper/flammable decorations allowed in the hallways.
- No electrical cords of any kind can be run over/under dorm or any other doors.
- Cords used for lights must be taped to walls and or floors - not hanging loose.
- Decorations cannot be hung on ceilings, strung across hallways, or attached to sprinklers or alarm systems.
- Decorations cannot impede egress or traffic flow in hallways or other areas.
- Any decorations found to be in violation of the above rules will be removed at once and be given to either the RA or FR on that floor.
It is the policy of SJU that there can be no storage of barbecue grills on decks/balconies or inside any buildings on campus. This includes the charcoal/lighter fluid/spare propane tanks that are accompanied with some of these grills. If these items are found inside buildings, they will be confiscated immediately.
- It will be the responsibility of the student to contact the Fire Chief at the end of the year to coordinate with him a time that the grill can be claimed.
- The fines will be split between all the occupants of that building unless the responsible party comes forth and admits ownership to the Fire Chief in person.
- There is also no storage of lighter fluid, charcoal or LP tanks in any dorms/rooms on campus, all of those supplies need to be stored outside the buildings and away from buildings.
False Fire Alarms due to Cooking
The fire department responds to numerous false fire alarms that are caused by cooking in residential areas. In our attempts to reduce the number of false calls (and the related costs to SJU), the fire department has developed the following policy.
- Each residence will be allowed to have three cooking related-false alarms during the academic year.
- The 4th false alarm (and every false alarm thereafter) may result in every resident in that particular building/floor will be charged a $50 fine.
If the students use the vent fans over the stoves, crack open their windows (if there are any) and keep the burners and oven clean, the alarm is less likely to be set off by cooking. It is the responsibility of residents to keep their stoves and ovens clean.
- Extension cords are only allowed in dorms if they have a built-in surge protector or fuse in them. Extension cords not meeting this requirement will result in a $50 fine being levied and the cord will be confiscated. They can be picked up at the end of the school year from the Fire Station.
- Also please note the following:
a. Surge protectors should be used instead of regular extension cords.
b. One surge protector may not be plugged into another.
c. Multiple electrical adapters are not allowed unless they have surge protection built into them and have a UL sticker on the device.
d. Reducer plugs are also not allowed since they eliminate the built in ground.
Safety Violations/Tampering with Safety Related Equipment
The SJU Fire Department wants the students of SJU to be as safe as possible at all times. Therefore, we are concerned when fire extinguishers are found expelled without there being a fire. We are also concerned when fire alarms/pull boxes are activated without due cause and the smoke detectors are disabled or get removed from the walls of the residence halls/buildings.
Therefore, the SJU Fire Department has assigned fines to those types of safety-policy related violations.
- Tampering with fire alarm systems...$500
a. Tampering with pull boxes/pulling fire alarms
b. Disconnecting/covering up smoke detectors or pulling batteries out of them
c. Tampering with fire department/standpipe connections
d. Tampering with or damaging sprinkler heads/systems
e. Any other mischievous actions dealing with fire systems - Expelling of fire extinguishers...$300
- Not leaving the building during a fire alarm...$150
- Attempting to or setting a fire...referred to Stearns Co, Sheriff Dept. for formal charges. Examples: Couch Fires, Dumpster Fires, etc.
- Possession or use of Candles or Incense...$150
- Hallway Clearance...$100 per person on the affected floor: The hallways in the residence halls must be cleared to allow traffic to exit the building in case of a fire or any other emergency. Therefore, students moving into or out of residence halls must have their belongings removed from the hallways by then end of move in day. If materials remain in the hallway the entire floor community will be assessed a fine until (a) the hallway is cleared or (b) the individual(s) who own the materials are identified.
- Fire Lane parking violations - During a non-emergency - $50 (CANNOT BE APPEALED)
- Fire Lane parking violations - During an emergency - $200 (CANNOT BE APPEALED)
Contact Information: If anyone should have questions or concerns about the policies listed above, please contact the SJU Fire Chief, Steve Berhow, at (320) 363-2742.
Room Change Policy (including switching roommates)
Students wishing to move from their current room into another room must first understand that due to limited space and resources, such moves may not be possible. Roommates are not expected to become "best-friends", but are expected to work out any differences through reasonable means. Any student having complications with their roommate is STRONGLY encouraged to discuss the issue with their Faculty Resident (FR) and/or Resident Assistants (RAs) as soon as possible! Residential Life staff (RAs & FRs) are trained on how to mediate most roommate conflicts into a healthy & balanced resolution. Moving out of a room or switching roommates is considered a last resort.
Please note, if it is determined that one roommate is purposely creating a hostile living environment for the other roommate, then the hostile roommate may be evicted from campus housing. If a student is evicted from campus housing, he may be forced to withdraw from the University. This is due to the residency requirement that requires all students to live on campus.
All first-year students are expected to have a roommate. First-year students are not allowed to live in double rooms as a single occupancy room, except in extreme and/or unavoidable situations. First-year students living in a single space during the Fall semester will be assigned a roommate for the Spring semester. Because of unknown emergency situations that develop each semester, students will not be allowed to pay for the extra space in their double room in order to keep the space as a single.
Sstudents wishing to move into a new room due to roommate conflict(s) must complete the following steps:
- Talk with their current FR about the room and/or roommate situation and determine whether or not the situation can be resolved through mediation with Residential Life staff. All mediation options must be exhausted prior to moving onto step 2.
- After receiving consent from your current FR, talk with the Assistant Directorof Housing about other housing options that may exist on campus. Please note that due to limited space and resources moves may not be possible.
- Explore other housing options. If an opportunity is discovered, proceed to step 4.
- Talk with the FR from the community you wish to move to. That FR and your current FR all must consent in order for the move to be approved. Residential Life & Housing will not override the decision of the FRs involved except in the most extreme circumstances. Once consent from all FRs involved has been received in writing to the Residential Life & Housing office, proceed to Step
- Meet with the Assistant Director of Housing to receive final approval of the move and to complete all necessary administrative paper work (room leases, room condition reports, etc.).
- All moves must be completed within one (1) week of approval.
Any groups of students wishing to trade or switch roommates with another group of students must complete the following steps:
- Make sure all parties involved are agreeable with the move. If any one person doesn't want to make the switch, the move will not be allowed. Please note that any coercion or hostile acts toward any person(s) involved in the move that influences their decision will be considered a violation of University policy and could result in eviction from campus housing and/or expulsion from the University.
- If all students involved with the move are agreeable, they need to consult with their respective FRs. Written approval from all FRs involved with the move must be received by the Residential Life & Housing prior to any final approval.
- Once approval from FRs is received, all students completing a move must meet with the Assistant Director of Housing for final approval and to complete all necessary administrative paper work (room leases, room condition reports, etc.).
- All approved moves must be completed within one (1) week of approval.
Room Consolidation Policy
Residential Life and Housing reserves the right to consolidate vacancies by requiring any student to move from a single occupancy of a double room or multiple occupancy residence to another double or multiple occupancy residence. The student may request permission to use a multiple occupancy residence as a single room and pay for the cost of the unoccupied beds on a prorated basis for the remainder of a term as long as space is available.
Open House (Visitation) Policy
Guests of the opposite sex are only allowed in SJU residence halls during established open house hours. Each residence hall has the option of establishing its own open house hours on both campuses not to exceed:
- Sunday - Thursday, 9 am - 12 midnight;
- Friday and Saturday, 9 am - 2 am.
Guests of the opposite sex are not permitted to stay overnight in any student residence, though there are no set open house hours in any of the SJU apartment areas, including Edelbrock, Marmian, Seton, Virgil Michel, Metten Court, Placid House, Maur House, Vincent Court, and Flynntown Apartments. Violation of open house hours is a serious matter and could result in removal from campus housing. There are limited open house hours during long weekends and breaks. Students are not allowed to have non-CSB/SJU guests in their living areas during break periods.
In the event that intercampus busses stop running due to inclement weather or other circumstance, preventing students from returning to their respective campuses, SJU students may sleep in the Mary Commons Lounge and CSB students may sleep in the St. Thomas Hall basement.

Residence Hall Guest Policy
Written: July 2009
SJU grants residents the privilege of hosting occasional overnight guests in the residence halls and apartments, however the rights of a student to live in reasonable privacy take priority over the privilege to host guests. A guest is defined as any person present in a residence hall room or apartment who is not the student assigned to that room. Thus, guests can include other SJU students.
The following occupancy limits apply to hosts and guests in SJU residential facilities:
- Apartments: 25 people (exception: Virgil Michel maximum occupancy is 15)
- Residence Hall Rooms: 8 people
Break Period Guest Policy
Guest visitation during all break periods is limited. CSB/SJU students are allowed visit from 9am - 10pm daily during each break period. All other guests are prohibited during each break period.
Quiet / Study Hours
We value a community that balances individual and group needs. Courtesy, respect and consideration are the normal expectations in the apartments, houses and residence halls 24 hours every day. To support academic achievement and recognize personal and group needs, there are specially designated quiet hours in effect as noted below:
- Sunday-Thursday, 9 p.m. - 10 a.m.
- Friday-Saturday, midnight - 10 a.m.
Students of any community may vote to lengthen these hours if desired.
In the best interest of us all, please be considerate of neighbors and respect quiet hours as stated. Courtesy hours are always in effect. If you are being disturbed by someone else's noise at any time, it is expected that you will go directly to them and request that they lower their noise level. If the problem is not resolved in this manner, contact the RA on duty.
To support academic achievement, the weekend prior to and throughout the Finals week, all SJU Residential communities observe as 24-7 Quiet/Study Hour policy. There are also no parties or social gatherings allowed during this time.
Pet Policy
No pets, except for fish, are allowed in any student residence on campus.
Loft Building Policy
SJU students are no longer allowed to construct lofts in any SJU residential area. The only lofts that will be allowed in the residence halls are the one's rented through Bedloft.com.
Posting Policy for Residence Halls
Any on-campus/off-campus organization, group, or individual(s) who wishes to post signs, posters, advertisements, or any items in the SJU Residence Halls must follow the following steps:
- All materials must be pre-approved by Residential Life and Housing located in Sexton Commons 210.
- The organization, group, or individual(s) are responsible for posting the materials in the appropriate location(s) (see #3) and after the event or notice, removing them.
- Materials may only be posted on bulletin boards. Materials are not permitted to be posted on doors, walls, above urinals, bathroom mirrors...etc. Only bulletin boards!
- Materials that are found in locations other than the bulletin boards will be removed and thrown away. The group responsible for the material(s) will be contacted by Residential Life and Housing. The first offense results in a warning. Any offense beyond that could result in suspension of posting privileges in the residence halls.
Any questions or concerns can be directed to the Residential Life and Housing Office, 320.363.3512 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Residence Hall Security
All residential buildings that are on card access are secured throughout the academic year during the following hours:
- Sunday - Thursday, midnight - 7 am
- Friday and Saturday, 2 am - 7 am
The exception is apartments that are on card access in which they are secured 24 hours/day, 7 days/week.
This policy is primarily designed to make sure that only members of the SJU community enter residence halls after hours. SJU student ID cards will open the locks at any time when school is in session.
Reviewed and updated: May 2009
Campus telephones are located in the hallways and in the entrances to most campus residence halls. These phones can be used for on-campus calls, local calls, toll-free calls, and emergency calls. You must dial 9 to access an outside line.
Students who wish to have a campus telephone installed in their residence should contact the Voice Communications Office at extension 3482. A fee for installation as well as a semester fee for service will be charged to the student's account. Voice mail service is also available upon request.
When placing emergency calls to Life Safety Services from a campus phone, please dial 911. When placing emergency calls to Life Safety Services from an off campus phone, such as your cell phone, please dial 320-363-2144. 911 calls from your cell phone will be directed to Stearns county emergency services.
back to topHumidifier/Dehumidifier and Space Heater Policy
Space heaters in residence halls pose a significant fire safety risk. Humidifiers and dehumidifiers pose a significant health risk in that they can lead to bacteria and mold issues and can greatly upset the humidity balance in a building. For these reasons, residents are not to bring space heaters or humidifiers/dehumidifiers into our residence halls.
If you believe your room is not properly controlled for temperature and humidity, please follow the protocol on the attached form to have your room assessed by Physical Plant staff. If Physical Plant determines that your situation cannot be corrected with adjustments to the current heat or humidity control systems, permission to have a space heater or humidifier/dehumidifier may be granted.
Instructions and conditions are listed within each form, along with submission directives. These request forms are also located on the Physical Plant web site.
Should you have any questions pertaining to this, please contact Gary Jorgensen, St. John's Building & Facility Manager, at ext. 3303.

What time?
According to my DVR, Holly Mangold is going to be on TV going for a gold medal this afternoon.
The DVR is critical to watching this Olympics b/c NBC has chosed to waste all of its primetime with "stories" about athletes and fake sports like Synchronized Diving. If I see one more Synchronized Dive, I might just hurl.
What time?
This is a good story. I think Nick might look back on this and wish he went. Missing a day or so of camp isn't as big IMHO. He's already an established vet. Good luck to her!
I'll be rooting for her... #teammangold
Sorry. I forgot (I think it is around 3pm). My hatred of NBC's primetime show has reached the point that I now have a daily routine:
1) Get up and get ready for work;
2) Check the DVR for available Olympic coverage for that day. (It usually gives a short description of the event/people).
3) Watch what I have taped on the DVR when I get home from work
4) DVR the primetime show. Skip past all the commercials, interviews, dumb stories about 16 year old girls and fake sports to watch swimming and other real sports.
Can she play RT?
Synchronized Diving is a difficult art.
Only thing monotonous about it is China.
IMO, Water Polo is lame-ass boring. Half the world's out-of-shape slobs can play it.
WTF can't throw a ball into a 10' net? Seriously.
There's nothing interesting about it.
And if Holly wasn't Mangold's sister, would you really care to watch a 350-lb female weightlifter? C'mon
"IMO, Water Polo is lame-ass boring. Half the world's out-of-shape slobs can play it.
LOL...no....just no.
WTF can't throw a ball into a 10' net? Seriously.
There's nothing interesting about it.
A bit tougher when the opponents are grabbing your nuts under water and trying to in effect drown you more or less. Water polo is one of the tougher dirtier sports out there, you just don't see all that goes on under the water.
And if Holly wasn't Mangold's sister, would you really care to watch a 350-lb female weightlifter? C'mon "
I'm sure you know it's all about appealing to the largest possible audience, therefore it's necessary to do your homework before the Olympics even begin. If there are certain events you'd like to watch, you've got to find out when and on what channel it will be televised, and then set the DVR. The days of watching NBC's primetime show to see all of the events are long-gone because of the pressure to get great ratings. $$$$$$$$$
Thus stated, my routine is very similar to yours.
Sure, that's why the women's teams have fatties on them.
There should be a hefty fine and disqualification for any team indecent enough to showcase a fatty in a bathing suit.
BTW, I played it too and it's great fun.
It just doesn't belong in the Olympics, IMO.
I also grew up with a pool and diving board on our property and I gotta say diving kicks ass.
Holley doesn't compete until Sunday...

Northland Fishing Tackle Quick-Change Blade Clevis
The Quick Change Blade Clevis from Northland Tackle features an interchangeable blade snap clip that allows for quick and easy spinner blade changes. Made from lightweight yet durable plastic, the Quick Change Blade Clevis is what experienced walleye anglers use when they modify their spinner rigs' size or color. Two clevis sizes available: #1 for smaller blades and #2 for larger blades.
Rated 5 out of 5 by 2
Rated 5 out of 5 by WillowpineOutdoors Perfect for BPS Walleye Blades
I bought these to make my own Lindy Rigs. They work very well with the BPS Walleye Spinner Blades I purchased as well. I recommend to anyone who like to make their own rigs.
August 8, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Schrades Blades Easy to use
I have been guiding for Trout and Kokanee salmon . I tie my own spinners and trolling blades. I like them more than the lindys. I have had blades come off the lindys before. These are a bit more difficult to put on ,but they don't come off.
I tie an average of 300 blades a year for clients and close friends.

@Paperhorse; Which of your Bulbachildren would you give up first if you had to? :P
Ok, after a good 60 minutes of thinking this through (you think I'm kidding, do you), I'm gonna have to go with Pinkie Pie. She's quirkier.
Anyway, let's get this thread active:
@Mintaka; Professor Layton or Phoenix Wright? Maya or Luke? Mia or Pearl? Emmy or Flora? Trucy Wright or Kay Faraday? Don Paolo or Jean Descole?
@CrackFox; Why haven't you watched community yet? ;.;
@Ino-Chan; ponytails or twintails?
Achieving my Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award or being an Olympic Torchbearer. I recieved my Gold Duke of Edinburgh badge and a certificate from Durham County Scouts on Sunday and I will be given the real certificate by the Earl of Wessex, Prince Edward, on 11 December 2012 in St. James's Palace.
@Chaosj2; What is your favourite number?
Staff member of Bulbanews (Writer). Original Poster of the Kingdom of Pokémon [v1.5]-[v3]. I've claimed Cacturne, Suicune, Hustle, Hydro Cannon and Gary.
27 all the way man
@jokool; shinx, oshawott or mudkip, which is cutest?
Gotta say Shinx.
@Caprizant; What's a good question I can ask you (because I can't think of one atm)?
That's about the best question I can think of myself. Sorry.
@Fin-Fin; You are in a room with three doors. Behind one door is a lifetime's worth of baklava. Behind another door is a large stack of money. Behind another door is a portal that will take you anywhere you want in the world. Which door do you choose?

Both suck - you never beat Mizzle in Mario Kart, have you? ;w; SHAME ON U.
Because you live in that trash can at staff lounge - I told you, it wouldn't do you good... :PI didn't get the real meaning of that question, did I? ;w;
YOU'RE TEARING ME APART NOW.Really six questions at once ><
1. Ugh. Tough choice but I'll go with Phoenix Wright because I like his Objection music more than Layton's theme.
2. I'll go with Lukegiven that you're talking about the Luke in European versions. I've always found women who make their friends spend money (for just 'I don't have money atm' thing) annoying.
3. OMG PEARL OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN'T REFUSE THAT CUTENESS ;w;
4. Definitely Emmy. She's been my favorite character in that series; she knows when to take action and she's energetic.
5. Trucy Wright, because the fact that I needed six seconds to remember who Kay Faraday is means that I care more for Trucy ^^;yeah not really a good reason but w/e
6. I've always found Don Paolo funnier than Descole, shame that latter is more featured nowadays out of the two. So yeah, I like Don Paolo better.
@Phoenicks; as a mafia game host, what situation would you call the most annoying? (Such as inactive players, rulebreaking, damage control, etc.)
@Mijzelffan; what's your favorite music in Kid Icarus: Uprising?

@ghaskan; What is your greatest dream?
the vile, wandering one sneaks up
You hate Maya? :0 Anyway, I'm gonna go with the music in chapter 19 (I think), the lightning chariot base. The one heard during the land battle.
New questions:
@cRussian; What is your favourite part of history? (saying nothing but Russian history is not a viable answer :P)
@Croag; What is your favourite thing to do in maths? Also what was your favourite pokémon before gen IV?
@Fresa; what are your three favourite movies?
I'm honored that I was picked for question. :) (WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO RUSSIAN HISTORY?!)
I really enjoy reading about how things were in past. They can be so different than present ideals and beliefs.
@FinalArcadia; If you could spend time with any of the Zexalia VI in real life, who would it be, and why?
Oh my god, why are you giving me such a difficult question? XD If I can pick any, can I just choose to spend time with you all? ^^; I can't choose... so I'll just give a quick reason why I'd pick each of you.Because I'm so indecisive and cheating the question. >:D
You would be really fun to talk Hetalia with, and our Hetalia plushes could battle each other. ^^
Belarus. has a lot of the same Zexal interests as methanks to my converting skills, so we could totally fangirl over stuff together. XD
Atomic is hilarious, and I'd probably be laughing a lot hanging out with her. :D
Fin and HCL don't count, LOL.
If you could travel with any one person from the Pokemon anime, who would be your travelling companion?
Definitely her sense of humor and smartness.
@Hitomi;George Washington, Bruno, or me?If you didn't study history what would you think your career could be?

Camshaft Thrust Plate, 1972 CubI am rebuilding my 1972 Cub that I inherited from my father-in-law and am currently on the engine re-assembly. I have gotten to the camshaft and on page 1-45 of the Service Manual it says to "Check the end clearance between the camshaft front journal and the thrust plate" and it should be between .003 & .012. Mine is coming in at about .020 to .024 so I would really like to replace the Thrust Plate, but Case IH doesn't make the plate any more and the only source I can find for one is Used.
I'm very reluctant to put a used Part in a wear location. Does anyone have any suggestions, ideas, or maybe can tell me how critical this tolerance is? thank you, The Riot
Re: Camshaft Thrust Plate, 1972 CubGoogle part number 251257R1 and you will find some NOS parts listings. Good luck and welcome to the forum
Re: Camshaft Thrust Plate, 1972 CubThank you, Bob. I thought I had covered all of the bases. The google search came up with a few possibilities.
Also, I appreciate the welcome. I'm having fund trying to bring this nice Cub back to life. The Riot
Re: Camshaft Thrust Plate, 1972 CubThat would be "fun" but that's an interesting slip.......................

Re: Camshaft Thrust Plate, 1972 CubThanks to all for the help!
Well I've run these traps and it seems that none of these sources have any New or NOS parts. All anybody has is used. So now I'm in a quandary, do I go back with my own used Thrust Plate (can't really see any wear but out of tolerance), or try and take a chance on some other used plates. I guess I could have a machine shop build a new one for me, but that gets into a whole other set of variables. Any thoughts, or any clue on how important this tolerance is? Thanks again, The Riot
Re: Camshaft Thrust Plate, 1972 CubBeen thinking on this one. Is the gear fully seated on the cam shaft shoulder?
Good question. The excess clearance wouldn't be a problem effecting the valve tappet action. Problem may be that the oil pump is attached to the back of and driven by the camshaft. Brass stock in desire thickness. Use thrust plate as template. That's just a thought as I have not encountered this problem. I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Camshaft Thrust Plate, 1972 CubSince IH saw fit to publish specifications for the clearance, one cannot assume that it is of no importance. But most engine machine shops who offer rebuilds probably do not even read the specs enough to consider this one. And a search for the part leads one to believe that several of the search engine hits lead back to just one original listing.
So I have no answers. http://www.batescorp.com/ At one time, they had some inventory of new parts. Prices at the upper end of the spectrum. Luck favors those who are prepared
Re: Camshaft Thrust Plate, 1972 CubI'm not sure but could you turn the thrust plate around? It looks like you could.
Re: Camshaft Thrust Plate, 1972 CubGreat idea, Smokey. I was kinda thinking the same thing. I will be out for a couple of weeks before I can get back to the rebuild project, but as soon as I can give it a try I'll post the results for everyone.
Thanks a bunch !!!!!! The Riot
Re: Camshaft Thrust Plate, 1972 CubConfession time: I never paid any attention to this plate and the clearance. But it may be that a round thrust washer of the same diameter as the cam journal that adjoins the thrust plate would be the best solution- installed on the camshaft and then the thrust plate installed. The ID of the washer needs to fit the camshaft snugly so that the washer runs true when turning.
Luck favors those who are prepared
Re: Camshaft Thrust Plate, 1972 CubI have to confess when this thread started I didn't even know what a camshaft thrust plate was. My contribution to the Cub Tug trophy was a used Cub throw out bearing. I removed the grease zerk and bolted it to what I now know as a camshaft thrust plate.

Blow up the photo of the used thrust plate. Appears to be well worn and reversible. I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Camshaft Thrust Plate, 1972 CubThanks, Eugene. Yea, most of the used ones that have pictures of show considerable wear. Honestly, mine doesn't appear to have as much wear as most of the used ones I'm finding for sale.
I'm going to take a close look at reversing mine and I'm also seriously considering having a machine shop build me a new one to tolerance. I think that is fairly important to fit to recommended tolerance otherwise the camshaft could have a tendency to move back & forth and wear the journals and the bearings. I think this should be called a "wear" plate instead of a thrust plate. The 1st journal of the Camshaft definately rubs against it and it obviously wears. Take care, The Riot

Samsung improves PNE7000 plasma black levels by 10 percent
LAS VEGAS--In 2011 we awarded our Editors' Choice among plasma TVs to the Samsung PND7000 for its combination of outstanding picture quality and comparatively good value. Its 2012 successor, the PNE7000, will supposedly be even better.
Samsung says it has improved black-level performance--a key ingredient of a good picture--by 10 percent for 2012. The PNE7000 will share this better black level with the step-up PNE8000 and step-down PNE6500 series (about which we were given no other information) 2012 plasmas. Considering that the 2011 models also had the best color accuracy I'd tested on any TV, the PNE7000 is already a strong contender for best picture quality of 2012.… Read more
