Couldn't finish though, shouldn't have procrastinated with color... and I still haven't decided what I like better. Hmm, maybe I'll link other color options later, but for now I'm turning in for the night x_x <Edit> Me: Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide Me an the boyfran~ (cause it'll embarass him ;D) <Edit 2> My friend told me to have this as my story so here it goes: Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide "Never an avid player of games, Calyx would play mostly because her other friends did. She originally joined SAO in order to play with said friends in the new game... friends who failed to show. Stuck inside the game's virtual reality, Calyx did what any reasonable player would do in such a situation, pick the largest weapon she could find and beat the living daylights out of anything in her way. One particular beast she slayed was terrorizing a young owl griffin. The poor thing was the runt of its litter and such, was weak, timid, and couldn't yet fly; easy prey for any carnivorous monster. The youngling tried to flee but was easily cornered by a ravenous beast. Yet in one fateful moment, the beast was killed in a glorious explosion of innards by the well place smash of Calyx's weapon. Upon saving it, she acquired the eternally grateful griffin as her familiar and has been doting over it lovingly ever since. Due to her blundering about, she climbed levels quickly and word of her strength was getting around. Shortly after, she began her life as a mercenary, whose services include: item collecting, protection, and the occasional intimidation to halt people from harassing a client. She only plays as a green player though, never bothering to get herself into trouble. Her cutesy appearance causes many potential employers to underestimate her true skill level... something they never do again after watching her fight with her weapon. One night, as she went out to collect materials for a regular customer, when she came across a rare enemy in the forest. A giant black wolf with piercing red eyes, snarling and looking for prey. After a long and arduous battle, somehow by the skin of her cheek, she defeated the nasty foe. From it, she gained the s class spoil of it's teeth. Upon taking it to the best craftsmen she could find, he forged her the ultra rare Wolf's Teeth Club." I'm awful at writing if you can't tell already |
Procrastination~ lalala~
Name: Altehya
Gender: Female Level: 84 Class: Dragon Tamer and Assassin Weapon: Scorpion Stinger Twin Sword Set Secondary: Potions (Not spells) Meaning she has many "potions" which are poisons that she throws at monsters. So she also has little daggers with poison on the tips of them on her belts Picture of Character : Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide Note: I really wanted to go more in depth with her sleeves(Sort of like the ones on her shoes). SO you can imagine some kind a pretty design on her sleeves as well as her front side. (The Belts are not very good and I'm truly sorry about that. You can imagine brown belts holding a lot of miniature bottles (That hold poisons) and their are many colors in the bottles but mostly purple. And they are miniature little daggers in her belts and pockets too. ^-^ I hope that gave you a better visual of my character! Picture of me: Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide Yay! I just made it! Sorry about the poor coloring but I wanted to give you an example of the colors I wanted. I just made it Few! Perhaps I will upload a better qaulity one after, I just need to get this in ; A ; (That is I didn't make it a digital art picture) (t did look better withought color but oh well!! I don't regret it at all! Forget regrets! ) sorry! Good luck to everyone and thanks soo much for this contest! I really hope you like it!! I will edit her backround after I upload it ^-^ Background Story: Altheya (All-teh-yah) really loves to play video games and of course she thought that SAO would be a really cool game to play! So when she found out that she was stuck in the game of course she did not want to die. She is a sensitive person but someone that will never give up. Even though many times she would cry of fear of never seeing her family again, It made her even stronger and more determined to get home. Her sword are two swords called a " Scorpion Stinger Twin Sword Set" but she had always wanted to be something else other than a healer or mage of some sort. But of course the game did not have those types of classes. She wanted to go out of the box and do something different than anyone else. She decided to mix her own concoctions she could use during battle. She even got ingredients from stores, such as paralysis potions, and healers. And also rare items that monsters would drop. It is hard to see but her outfit (Sorry again about the poor coloring) has many belts and pockets that hold her concoctions that she can use during battle. Including little daggers which, at the tips, hold a dap of poison. She hides these with a purple cape (I didn't go into depth with it because I wanted to show her main features but again, I had to rush but I really did the best I could do in that time :D) Her method surprisingly works very well for her. She is the person who would not be the leader of a guild but would be a very important one. When a person strikes the attacker she will then sneak right up to them and, as quick a lightning, would vanish after she poisoned them. She also has many original potions she makes herself to help her team mates. She also probably wouldn't stay in the guild permanently. She would rather travel around more and meet new people while at the same time, determined to win her way back home. Altheya also has always been an animal lover so she is also a dragon tamer. So obviously her main theme is "poison" because of her sword name and what she does and that she has a snake that can also bite attackers with venom. I absolutely fell in love with this story and I have to say this is really original and SUPER DEE DUPER ENTERTAINING!! I really hope you consider my drawing and GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE! Each and everyone is awesome! Except for those stupid cheaters...But other than that thank you soo much for this contest! And talk to ya soon Crunchyroll!!! :DDDD |

I tried.. Name: Relantz Upon hearing the news of being trapped in the game, he immediately accepts it as the new reality. Plays on the front lines, not because he has an interest in clearing the game, but because he doesn't want to miss a single bit of the action. Having never been one to focus on pure power, he puts a large amount of time into developing speed. It is because of this that he wears no armor other than metal plated boots. The bracer on his left arm can be considered and used as a shield, but its main purpose is to allow him to use his left hand to absorb impacts by having an additional contact point on his double edged sword Time Reaper. The hour hand locks into the 6 o'clock position to allow for two handed use for additional power when necessary. |

Name: Draco Age: 20 Level: 92 Class: Lancer/Beast Tamer Weapons: Arachian Halberd, Arachian Blade (lol didn't have time to design these one so just drew generic weapon shapes, hope that doesn't count against me) Dragon Name: RYU Level: 88 Class: Dragon Background: Draco trained as a lancer since the start of the SAO death game. He does a mix of soloing and partying based on the situation but has never joined a guild due to his fear of being relied upon. On one fateful day in the mountains of floor 55, he noticed across a group of rare spawn wind dragons that were being attacked by a brutal group of players from a poaching guild dedicated to hunting rare monsters for the great rewards from selling the rare drops. The dragons were friendly monsters that only attacked when provoked and, after being ambushed by the poachers, started to fly away. All but one of them were shot down but they landed on another peak. Draco raced to the dragons to check on the dragons. Feeling sorry for them, Draco wanted to heal the dragons in the only way that he could, by capturing it using SAO's game mechanics, and release it. When he reached the dragons, only one remained, while the rest were nowhere to be found. He helped the last remaining dragon, naming it RYU, meaning it only to be a temporary name before he released it. As he was about to release the dragon back to the wild, the poachers appeared, willing to do anything, even attack a player, to reap the rewards of rare monsters. Fighting to defend himself and the dragon, falling within an inch of death, the dragon was shaken from its fear and fended off the poachers to protect the one that saved him. From then on, Draco and his dragon had formed an inseparable bond and Draco received the now unique <<Extra Skill>> Dragon's Heart, which endows the power of the elements to one's attacks as well as develops said elemental abilities for the dragon partner. As a specialist in distance attacks, it is no wonder that Draco favored the wind powers for their knock back ability.* He also wears a necklace made from the loot that he retrieved from the poachers as a memento of the event when RYU lost his entire family. Normally, SAO's game mechanics only allow for the taming of small monsters but this was a special rare spawn and, as Draco would later find out the only one left as it was meant as an event spawn for the Lunar New Year. This team went on to be part of the top clearers and, with the help of Kirito's programming skills, Draco was able to bring RYU with him after the end of SAO, working with him as a special partner in all of his future VMMORPGs. Skills: One Handed Sword - 951 Two Handed Lance - Mastered Dragon's Heart <<Extra Skill>> - Mastered - Fire - 246 - Water - 204 - Wind - 550 Battle Healing - 663 Searching - 740 Hiding - 891 Familiar Recovery - 826 Familiar Communication - 867 Musical Instrument - Mastered Dash - 992 High Jump -Mastered *Edit: Lol, I just realized that my scan didn't pick up the wind effects I drew for the sword attack, *facepalm* no more time to change it now I suppose. |

An insulinoma is a tumor in the pancreas that produces too much insulin.
Insuloma; Islet cell adenoma
The pancreas is an organ in the abdomen. The pancreas makes several enzymes and hormones, including the hormone insulin. Insulin's job is to reduce the level of sugar (glucose) in the blood by helping it move into cells.
Most of the time when your blood sugar level drops too low, the pancreas stops making insulin until your blood sugar returns to normal. Tumors of the pancreas that produce too much insulin are called insulinomas. Insulinomas keep making insulin, even when your blood sugar drops too low.
A high blood insulin level causes a low blood sugar level (hypoglycemia ). Hypoglycemia may be mild, leading to symptoms such as anxiety and hunger. Or it can be severe, leading to seizures, coma, and even death.
Insulinomas are rare tumors. They usually occur as single, small tumors in adults.
These tumors are very rare in children. Most children with high blood insulin levels have many areas of overactive insulin-releasing cells in the pancreas, instead of a single tumor.
More than 90% of insulinomas are non-cancerous (benign) tumors. People with the genetic syndrome called multiple endocrine neoplasia type I are at risk of insulinomas and other endocrine tumors .
After fasting, your blood may be tested for:
CT or MRI scan of the abdomen , or PET scan may be done to look for a tumor in the pancreas. If the test is negative, one of the following tests may be performed:
Surgery is the recommended treatment for insulinoma. The tumor is first found by tests or surgery. Medication may be used to get patients stable before surgery.
If there is a single tumor, it will be removed. If there are many tumors, part of the pancreas will need to be removed (partial pancreatectomy). At least 15% of the pancreas must be left to produce its enzymes for digestion. This may prevent the surgeon from removing the whole insulinoma tumor.
In rare cases, the entire pancreas is removed if there are many insulinomas or they continue to come back. Removing the entire pancreas leads to diabetes because there is no longer any insulin being produced. Insulin injections are then required.
If no tumor is found during surgery, or if you are not a candidate for surgery, you may get the drug diazoxide to lower insulin production and prevent hypoglycemia. A diuretic (water pill) is given with this medication to prevent the body from retaining fluid. Octreotide is used to reduce insulin release in some patients.
In most cases, the tumor is non-cancerous (benign), and surgery can cure the disease. But a severe hypoglycemic reaction or the spread of a cancerous tumor to other organs can be life-threatening.
Call your health care provider if you develop any symptoms of insulinoma. Convulsions and decreased consciousness are an emergency -- call 911 or your local emergency number right away.

Over the past few weeks several new blogs have linked to us – welcome! And thanks for helping to spread the word about this project.
Over this weekend I got the chance to work on the gold embroidery – wheee! I was the beneficiary of a personal tutorial from Wendy, which was awesome, because I'd really been struggling to understand the stitch diagrams. It is sooo confusing in the pictures, especially the starting maneuvers. Basically she sat next to me and my doodle cloth saying, come up here; down there; up here; down there. Yes, there. Really.
Across the table Debbie and Carli were smiling, because the beginning really doesn't look like anything, and because it took even them several coils before they could start without checking the directions. Which made me feel better.
This is the little bit I managed to get accomplished, after what felt like a long time. Everyone else is going much more quickly.
The gold is interesting to work with, in a way it is much sturdier than the GST. It is also quieter; the GST is almost corrugated and it makes a thrrrrp noise as you pull it through the linen, because of the difference between the silk and the place where the gold wraps it. The gold passing thread is evenly covered so it passes smoothly and quietly. We're using the hand made Japanese needles with it, which helps make a large enough hole in the linen for the gold to pass through, and also is gentler on the gold at the eye. Eventually the gold breaks there, though, and you have to cut and re-thread, but we're finding it happens less than with the GST. And if you bite the very edge of the end you're threading, just to crimp the gold, it will thread more easily and help it last longer before raveling.
Also, the gold passing (GP) is sturdy enough to pick out and reuse, more than once even, if necessary (ask me how I know). And, because it is stiff, you can feel right away if you've got a bump or a kink on the back. With the GST it happens often enough that you don't find that snarl on the back till you turn the piece over to fasten the end. Grrr.
The suggested thread with which to practice the plaited braid is Kreinik #8; Debbie reports that using the high luster version is easier because it is stiffer. She feels that the blue is the most workable, but the universal opinion is that anything other than the gold passing is a poor substitute. This stitch demands to be worked with the real stuff, and this gold demands to stitch the plaited braid. It is harder to stitch even the reverse chain coils with the gold passing, because it is almost too stiff to make those small bends.
I know, you would work with the GP if you could get your hands on some, and it isn't really fair of me to mention how nicely it makes a plaited braid. Several people have asked about buying a gold work kit, or just a spool of the GP. We're holding off for right now, until we're absolutely sure we have enough to accomplish the jacket, before we release any. I know we could sell this and buy more, but if there's any kind of hold-up in the manufacturing or shipping (and I can imagine several scenarios with scarcely any effort) it would delay the jacket's completion, and we can't have that. As soon as we can let some go, we absolutely will.

Short warranties can also be considered however; with no warranties, there is no way you should buy the device. There are a number of options to choose from.

once upon a time there was an online library for Symbian dev... can't find it anymore, seems no more available... ?
once upon a time there was an online library for Symbian dev... can't find it anymore, seems no more available... ?
https://www.developer.nokia.com/Resources/Library/ ( see the bottom row in the "grid"; Symbian and Qt, Symbian C++ ).
Yes, it started last week, around Thursday. Mysteriously enough some links still worked that time (results of Google searches), but now they do not work any more.
We are using a different documentation system now and moving the Symbian libraries to the new online system would have been very difficult (old format), therefore we are providing the libraries as offline versions. No content has been removed.
I do appreciate that this is a pain from the point of view of pointing people to documents (and indeed its a pain for me as the wiki has heaps of links to the libraries). However I've been told that the offline versions "are" the fix and that we will have to live with it.
If there is will,there is a way..You guys just pure lazy.I cant believe guys in charge in nokia become so lazy.Even app rating "best seller" and "top free" categories in nokia store mobile have not been updated for month.It used to be updated daily.Now only "featured" categories is updated daily even then the same app appear again few days later."Featured" app is supposed to be hand picked by nokia guys.This just show how lazy nokia guys becoming to.Nokia is not dead because of symbian,it is nokia that cause the dead of symbian
Regarding the comment that nothing has been removed, while true the resulting downloadable versions I am finding are orders of magnitude more time consuming to use.
For example try searching for the file server documentation. If I put in a search for "class RFs" or just "RFs" I get over 100 results, none of which are the RFs documentation page. Even it's usage in other class documentation pages isn't hyperlinked so I can't get to it that way.
Under the previous online version such a search would instantly yield the page you are looking for. I've resorted to using the snippets stored in the online search's cache to read library linkage details thanks to the unfriendliness of these versions.
Bearing in mind that Windows Phone sales figures are much lower than Symbian's for the last two years (the standard phone contract length), and so presumably still has more handsets in use currently, it does feel somewhat premature to take this action.
Some possible workarounds are http://www.symlab.org/ for on-line documentation, and keeping an S60 3rd FP1 SDK on the hard drive (that is the last one having a .chm help).
Hi Wizard,
Thanks for your constructive suggestions - @duncan.waugh, hope this makes things a bit easier for you.
Not just symbian library.Certain qt/qml symbian documentation and its link is also missing and broken.In google search,certain qml element documentation is no longer available and it is redirected to to qt5 page which not helpful at all.Now i need to use harmattan qml library for reference.Since both platform is not so different,i still can use the harmattan qml library as a reference for symbian use.
Considering that "Qt on Nokia devices which are not based on Symbian" means 1.5 devices from the near past (N9+N950), Qt has not much brighter future in the context of this site than what Symbian has.
What Wizard means would be something like, both Symbian and Qt would have similar precedence (in terms of Nokia strategy) and hence if Symbian is off from online documentation, you cannot expect Qt to be there.
But at least symbian library still got the offline version for reference but there are nothing for qt/qml.If it cannot be supported at least the documentation should be archived.Now there are no any guide in certain qml element at all for its usage reference.Also qt/qml is already takeover by digia and all the previous documentation should be manage by digia so i know it is not nokia fault but digia.I will try to make a request or petition.If none still works,the last resort would be initiate lawsuit against digia though i do wish i don't have to go to latter path.
You can find most of the Qt components for Symbian documentation here:
It's slow and some pages are missing but it's better than nothing.

Hemophilia refers to a group of bleeding disorders in which blooding takes a long time.
Some types of disorder include:
When you bleed, the body sends out a special protein to help the blood clot. There is a higher risk of bleeding when one or more of these clotting factors are missing.
Hemophilia is caused by a lack of clotting factor VIII or IX in the blood. In most cases, hemophilia is passed down through families (inherited). Most of the time, it is passed to male children.
The main symptom of hemophilia is bleeding. Mild cases may not be detected until until later in life, after excessive bleeding following surgery or an injury.
In the worst cases, bleeding occurs for no reason. Internal bleeding may occur anywhere and bleeding into joints is common.
Most often, hemophilia is diagnosed after a person has an abnormal bleeding episode Tests can also be done to detect the problem when other family members have the condition.
The most common treatment is to replace the missing clotting factor in the blood through a vein (intravenous infusions).
You will need extra care during surgery if you have a bleeding disorder. Therefore, it is important to get a diagnosis. It will also help you to warn family members who might be affected.
Joining a support group where members share common issues can relieve the stress of a chronic disease.
Many people with hemophilia are able to do most normal activities. However, some people have major bleeding events, The most common of these is bleeding into the spaces around the joints.
A small number of people with hemophilia may die from severe bleeding.

A PICC is a long, thin tube (called a catheter) that goes into a vein in your upper arm. The end of the catheter winds up in a large vein near your heart.
The PICC helps carry nutrients and medicines into your body. It is also used to draw blood when you need to have blood tests.
A PICC is used when you need intravenous (IV) medical treatment over a long period of time or if blood draws done the regular way have become difficult.
The procedure is done in the radiology (x-ray) department or at your hospital bedside.
The catheter that was inserted is connected to another catheter that stays outside your body. You will receive medicines and other fluids through this catheter.
It is normal to have a little pain or swelling around the site for 2 or 3 weeks after the catheter is put in place. Take it easy. Do not lift anything with that arm or do strenuous activity for about 2 weeks.
Take your temperature at the same time each day and write it down. Call your doctor if you develop a fever.
It is OK to take showers and baths 7 to 10 days after your catheter is placed. When you do, make sure the dressings are secure and your catheter site stays dry. Do not let the catheter site go under water if you are soaking in a bathtub.
Your nurse will teach you how to take care of your catheter in order to keep it working correctly and to help protect yourself from infection. This includes flushing the catheter , changing the dressing , and giving yourself medicines.
After some practice, taking care of your catheter gets easier. It is best to have a friend, family member, caregiver, or nurse help you.
Your doctor will give you a prescription for the supplies you need. You can buy these at a medical supply store. It will help to know the name of your catheter and what company makes it. Write this information down and keep it handy.

Raven is currently hanging around Megaville, but remember her branch of Titans is based in Jump City. We have no idea where the two cities are in relation to each other, but if the writers are doing their homework (and they have done a good job of that in the past) then there's a good chance Raven is just in town "on business". Where are the rest of the Titans? Probably occupied elsewhere, Raven is their expert on all things demonic, the others would simply get in the way. And besides, as we've seen she as a personal stake in this.
So yeah, Raven either came to Megaville for the crisis or for Mimi's birthday, either is likely. Of course there's the offhand chance that she's just there because Bleedman wanted Raven in the comic, end of story, but it's entertaining to think of such things.

Sanneke Stigter, Living artist, living artwork? The problem of faded colour photographs in the work of Ger van Elk
IIC Conference - Modern Art, Modern Museums, Bilbao (Spain), Sep. 13-17 2004
Datum: sep 16, 2004
Lezing in het Engels.
Current conservation ethics, based on the preservation of authentic material, are of little importance to an artist like Ger van Elk, to whom the conceptual message is more important than its material realization. This is illustrated by a recent conservation project in which the artist was involved. Ethical questions are raised, and judged against the background of an art-historical survey of the meaning of the artist's work in relation to the materials and techniques used. When preventive conservation fails and the museum seeks a solution in cooperation with the artist, the end result might be an authorized copy but what is left of the artistic value? Since photographic materials have their own characteristics and often show the effects of time, an alternative form of conservation treatment is proposed with respect to the original material. Coloured light is used as a 'retouching medium' to enhance a severely discoloured photograph which forms part of Roquebrune, a sculpture by Ger Van Elk from 1979.

Kansas revokes Topeka nursing home's license
Published on -7/19/2013, 8:06 AM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- Kansas is shutting down a Topeka nursing home, saying that it failed to comply with state and federal health and safety regulations.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports (http://bit.ly/12PH0C9 ) the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services' revocation of the Topeka Community Healthcare Center's license will require its 55 residents to find new homes by September.
The department says the center consistently failed to achieve "substantial compliance" with standards since September 2010. Spokeswoman Angela de Rocha says it's the first time since September 2011 that the state's aging agency has shut down a nursing home.
Attorney Meredith Duncan says in a statement that the center disagrees with the decision but is cooperating with the agency. Duncan says the home would pursue an appeal and remains in discussions to stay open.

Vibrating Brent Wheel
Posted 05 April 2013 - 07:42 PM
I am very new to the forum - excited to be here!
I have had a Brent No2 wheel for about 5 years now and done pottery on and off. I am now really trying to get into pottery. The first wheel I had was replaced after about 1 month of having it since I could not center on it for the life of me and it was the wheel and not me since I was taking a class and could center on their wheels no problem. Sent it back to Amaco, they said no one could center on it and sent out a new one. It has been through a couple moves around the house and then one big move when I changed houses.
As I am now getting back into pottery every day it just keeps vibrating. If I put tools on the head to just rest and turn the wheel on low the tools will literally vibrate off the wheel. The metal catch bin that sits in the holder will vibrate off the holder if I do not place a couple rocks in it to weigh it down. It seems like it is just getting worse. I was trying to foot a pot tonight and I couldn't get it tapped center for the life of me. I finally got it on center, put clay around it so that sucker wasn't going anywhere and within 2 spins it has vibrated itself out of the clay around the base.
I have never tried to fix a wheel or know much about how to fix one. It is on concrete and on level ground. Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong with it? I have never worked on a wheel that vibrated this much and it is really making the whole process of making a pot rather difficult since I believe the vibrations are making the pot go off center at every chance.
Any help on this would be amazing!

That sounds like something is rubbing badly under the wheel deck between the belts and the pulley or something... or the bearings (more likely) are going. Can you shoot video and post it?

Cstovin - I read your post as well! The kind of sounds like what mine is doing. I have thrown on several brent wheels, shimpo and other brands and never had this vibration happen like it does to mine. I know when a bat is on the head then it hits my fingers at different times if I run it along the edge. I don't know if this is what you are calling the shimmy. I am by no means an expert at pottery. I have been able to center on my wheel and make pots, but it is difficult and I can't do repeat throwing to save my life where at a local studio I can easily make repeat pots. I have felt my pots center and then if I let the wheel run a couple spins without touching the clay then it gets off centered. I do not turn it up to full speed - when I do that it really starts to vibrate and wobble a bit.
I think I have a local potter in the area coming out to check the wheel out this week to see if there is truly something wrong or if it is just in my head. The fact that is is the loudest wheel I have ever experienced and I have used these wheels before makes me believe that there is something wrong. I know nothing about how to take one apart and troubleshoot. I would probably mess the wheel up more which would be not good!
The wheel isn't belt driven - here is the exact wheel I have http://www.amaco.com...39-s-wheel.html
I almost laugh because it says it has the rubber feet to help stop the vibration.
I will work on that video and figure out how to post it!
Thank you!

My wheel also sat in these people's garage for about 4 years; and we did plug it in to see if it worked, but I would have never noticed this until I put clay on it....
Too weird. I did try again to get a video of mine - working on it -
Posted 07 April 2013 - 12:20 PM
I did post a video to youtube if anyone wants to check it out -
I am slightly discouraged. I have had this wheel for several years and threw on and off while taking classes since I never had a kiln. Now I finally get a kiln last month and have been throwing every day only to find that the reason why I can't throw anything big or keep things on center is due to a problem that I should have found the first year of having it.

From the high frequency of the vibration I am guessing the issue is not on the slow speed side of the gearbox or from the main wheelhead shaft bearings (unless they are TOTALLY shot).....but from the high speed side.... the motor side.
Has it ALWAYS had that level of vibration?

It has always had some sort of vibration to it. This is the first time that I have really noticed it being a problem.
I took another video of it on full speed first and then I slow it down to low. I was focusing in on the shaft that my friend said was bent.
Posted 07 April 2013 - 02:25 PM
Have you checked the set screws that lock down the wheelhead to the gearbox shaft? Looking a the video from underneath the splashpan, I could see the set screw sticking quite a ways out from the coupler. Normally set screws don't stick out very far if at all. Also, check if the wheelhead is loose on the shaft by grabbing it and see if it can be rocked at all or twisted (spun) on the shaft.
Posted 07 April 2013 - 06:49 PM
hmm no I have not checked the set screws that lock it down to the wheelhead - where are those exactly? I don't have an owners manuel for the wheel and all the ones I can find online are for other wheels so I am still trying to figure out the names of everything.
The wheelhead can be spun all the way around on the shaft when it is turned off
It doen't rock up and down

Posted 09 April 2013 - 06:12 PM
as for the set screw for the wheel head - in the video it looks backed out a bit, but if you look closer the set screw lines up perfect with the flat spot on the shaft right below -- so it should be in place and not misaligned. a little bit of vertical motion from the drive shaft (when pulling on wheel head) should be normal up to a certain distance (maybe up to 1/8"???)
since it's a gear-driven wheel, when is the last time the oil level was inspected? i could imagine that low oil might cause vibrations.
lastly, have you called AMACO and asked to speak to one of the techs regarding these issues?
Posted 09 April 2013 - 10:14 PM
a gear-driven/direct drive wheel shouldn't really have any vibrations like this since there really isn't any parts to do so. i'm not really familiar with the AMACO wheel, but looking at some pics it seems like the motor/gearbox/wheelhead are all connected as one assembly, and that the top can be removed from the base for portability. looks like the motor assembly only connects to the "subframe" via 4 bolts on the motor plate - i cannot see how the gearbox is mounted to that dome-shaped piece underneath, or if it's just resting on top of it. with this said, i would first check to make sure the motor is well secured to the subframe, and that the subframe is well secured to the base - it could be possible that some loose connection will allow the vibration to happen.

I used to have this type of wheel in the school studio. Ours was pretty smooth, but much slower. I believe your problem is in the coupling and differential set up. However, just for certainty you might make certain all of the motor mounting bolts are tightened. We had some problems with this wheel when some clay got into the coupling as it is open. It caused it to be out of balance and did vibrate, but cleaning cleared that up. Ours was a two speed, and mostly got used as a power banding wheel and then I sent it down to JRHS when we replaced it. Good luck, a decent mechanic could probably figure it out.

CSF total protein is a test to determine the amount of protein in your spinal fluid, also called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
A sample of CSF is needed (1 to 5 ml). A lumbar puncture (spinal tap) is the most common way to collect this sample. Rarely, other methods are used for collecting CSF such as:
After the sample is taken, it is sent to a lab for evaluation.
Your doctor may order this test to help diagnose tumors, infection, inflammation of several groups of nerve cells, vasculitis, blood in the spinal fluid, or multiple sclerosis (MS).
The normal protein range varies from lab to lab, but is typically about 15 to 60 mg/dL.
Note: mg/dL = milligrams per deciliter
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
An abnormal protein level in the CSF suggests a problem in the central nervous system.
Increase protein level may be a sign of a tumor, bleeding, nerve inflammation, or injury. A blockage in the flow of spinal fluid can cause the rapid buildup of protein in the lower spinal area.
A decrease in protein level can mean your body is rapidly producing spinal fluid.

Ancient mythology tells of an incredible soldier named Samson: with shoulders 60 cubits broad and enough strength to tear a lion in twain, Samson reigned as one of his time's most immensely powerful forces — all thanks to his hair.
RELATED: 'Argo' and Other Movies So Unbelievable They Must Be True
As proven by many great men since the rise and fall of Samson — The Beatles, Uncle Jesse, Carrot Top — a vibrant, untamed mane can imbue a mere mortal with boundless superhuman capability, driving him to achieve victories beyond the denizens of his most uninhibited fantasies. Like Oscars!
You might have picked up on the Academy Awards buzz circling Ben Affleck's forthcoming hostage crisis drama Argo, which debuted at the Telluride Film Festival in August and releases nationally on Friday. Oscars chatter has involved Argo nabbing a Best Picture nod, Alan Arkin being a sure shot for the Best Supporting Actor title, and for Affleck himself in the Lead Actor slot. It's easy to see why the star/director might be graced with these premonitions: subdued but passionate CIA Agent Tony Mendez is a leap from the more expressive characters on Affleck's résumé; the high-stakes nature of the politically charged true story make for a moving performance from the actor; and most of all, that hair.
Affleck sprouted a particularly 'brow-raising pelt — both atop his dome and all over his face — for his Argo character. The kind of hair that could effectively remove the man from any "celebrity crush" lists posthaste... but might well place him at the forefront of another, comparably esteemed assembly: Oscar winners.
RELATED: 'Argo' Wins Oscar, Shout-Out from Michelle Obama
Whether Affleck owns the role or flops with a vengeance, he is a surefire bet to take home the Oscar for Best Actor at the 85th Annual Academy Awards. Because of his hair. Hair wins Oscars. "No it doesn't," you scoff (we can hear your scoffs). "Talent wins Oscars." Sure, talent is nice and all, and has probably worked for a few people over the years — Alec Guinness, maybe — but the biggest secret of the trade: it's all in the tresses.
Look back over the past decade at the men who have nabbed the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor Awards, and you'll see what we mean.
Almost ten Oscars ago, Chris Cooper took home the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for 2002's Adaptation., a role for which he grew a colossally unflattering mop. Three years later, George Clooney sacrificed his unparalleled allure for a drunk uncle-ian soup strainer in Syriana, earning the same award for this character. In 2007, Javier Bardem's No Country for Old Men bowl-cut guaranteed him Best Supporting... although, admittedly, it could have easily gone to Philip Seymour Hoffman's atrocious Charlie Wilson's War dye job that year. And finally, '08: the late Heath Ledger and his frenzied Joker 'do would take home the Oscar for The Dark Knight.
Now, I know what you're thinking (we can hear your thoughts, too). "These are all Best Supporting Actors. There's absolutely no science that might prove this pattern would transcend into the Lead Actor category. To suggest as such would be crazy!" Crazy, huh? Crazy like a Heart?
In 2009, writer/director Scott Cooper released the intimate character drama Crazy Heart, starring beloved actor Jeff Bridges as washed up country music singer/songwriter Bad Blake. For this role, Bridges nabbed the Best Actor Oscar, beating out the likes of Clooney (Up in the Air), Colin Firth (A Single Man), Morgan Freeman (Invictus), and Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker). Three time-tested Hollywood legends (with Freeman owning the additional edge of playing Nelson Mandela) and a showbiz newcomer at the head of an immensely affecting war film. Bridges' Crazy Heart performance was excellent — no one is here to claim otherwise — but he won because of the hair. He had to... he was the perfect candidate...
RELATED: Ben Affleck Talks Filling His 'Argo' Cast with Comedy Legends — VIDEO
See, Bridges' hair has long flowed free, onscreen and off. His Bad Blake bouffant was barely a stray from his usual shoulder-length 'do. So nobody suspected a thing when the Academy gave Bridges the Oscar. Nobody gave any thought to what might have really been going on behind the scenes.
As far as the public knows, the annual victors are ostensibly chosen by the collective members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, an esteemed group of accomplished men and women who have made names for themselves in the following fields: acting, directing, writing, producing, editing, cinematography, animation, art direction, documentary filmmaking, music, a bunch of other stuff, and finally, makeup artistry and hair styling. A group that has made its career on attention to detail, on the grunt work, on secretly pulling the strings on all the forefront players — controlling the masses from behind the curtains.
"But how can this be?" you ask (my, you're vocal today). "How can this single group of people control the entire outcome of the Academy Awards?" Simple, my inquisitive friend: when you control people's hair, you control their minds. Through the venue of brain-altering chemicals, and tonics, and shampoos, the hair styling community of Hollywood has managed to instill their perspectives into the minds of their Academy peers, and (in the rare causes of failure), into those of the actors and actresses slated with announcing the names of the winners at the awards ceremonies.
And of course they have quite the definitive horse in this race. In order to afford their brethren ample work, this dedicated secret society (known as the Folliclists) have elected to award the actors with longer, more elaborate, vividly distinct hairstyles, thus promoting the adoption of these styles for future actors. "Long hair wins awards!" aspiring performers will think. "I've gotta get me some long hair!" And so, the trend begins, and the hair styling industry flourishes.
It was easy to do this with the Supporting Actor category — nobody really cares about that one. But in order to stake a claim for Lead Actors, the Folliclists needed to be strategic: they needed to sneak their way in via the likes of Bridges, whose hair would invite no suspicion. But Bridges is only the seed. Next, it's Affleck. After him, who knows? Benicio del Toro as the Matterhorn Yeti? Martin Freeman for The Hobbit? Josh Gad as Cousin Itt? It could be anyone. And then... it'll be all of us. They'll have the world.
We're onto you, hair stylists of America. Your nefarious plan is a secret no longer. And we'd totally set out to stop you... except we really need a trim before the weekend. Not too short, please.

Tigers celebrate new facility
Published on -8/25/2013, 6:20 PM

E-Mail This Story
By DIANE GASPER-O'BRIEN
Four-year-old Alexis Bickle was enamored by her great grandparents' photo hanging on a wall just outside the doors of Fort Hays State University's Bickle-Schmidt Indoor Training Facility.
A whole lot of other people were just as interested to get a peek at the 50,400-square-foot building that only 14 months ago was nothing more than an open green space south of Lewis Field Stadium.
"She sure was fascinated by your picture out front," Alexis' mom, Amanda Bickle, told her grandmother, Chris Bickle.
A photo of Don and Chris Bickle on a bronze plaque, along with a similar one of Bob and Pat Schmidt, are displayed in a prominent place in the facility because those two local couples were major donors in the $4.2 million project. Each couple donated $1 million to launch the project.
Among those filling the end zone chairs and others standing all the way out to the 20-yard line were Tiger coaches and athletes -- past and present -- Fort Hays alumni, cheerleaders and staff and administrators, as well as the building's architects. There were even several politicians in the crowd, along with local businessmen and numerous community members.
"This is taking a huge step forward in our recruiting and facility development and the vision of athletics moving into the future," FHSU Athletic Director Curtis Hammeke said at the ceremony.
The facility features a 65-yard artificial turf practice field, batting cages, a 70-yard, three-lane synthetic track with jump pits, as well as a 5,000-square-foot weight room and a large team meeting room.
Several plaques hang around the building in honor of donors who contributed to certain areas of the facility, such as the lobby, weight room, batting cages, etc. But none are as large as the two hanging in the main lobby.
"There are no two finer individuals and no two finer families in their support for Fort Hays State University than Don and Chris and Pat and Bob," said U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran, who makes his home in Hays.
The Bickles and Schmidts also were major donors for the Bickle/Schmidt Sports Complex, completed on the west edge of Hays two years ago.
"I told him if we put my name first on (the sports complex), then we needed to put his first on this," Don Bickle said.
Following the ceremony, Schmidt and Bickle got to throw touchdown passes to seniors Tanner Hageman and Andre Schmidt.
Those in attendance had the opportunity to tour the weight room and grab some refreshments in the meeting room before several interested onlookers made their way outside to watch football practice nder the direction of head coach Chris Brown while peering over the limestone walls of Lewis Field Stadium.
