easy to use 1/2" dr torque wrench, previous model of this torque had a latching re-usable storage case to protect it. this model has an open top box that tool will fall out of.

If you're thinking about buying this and plan on actually using it, than look elsewhere. This torque wrench is made very cheap. First 1 I had broke after a light fall on the ground (plastic handle). It had the warranty, and surprisingly I was given a brand new one. Second one I was using to torque wheel lugs down applying only 80 ft./lbs. When it stopped ratcheting. Took it back to sears and was denied another one, but was given a "discount" to buy another one. Why would I want another one if it is just going to break again? Very dissatisfied on this product. I feel sorry for the people who pay $70 for it, I only paid $40 for it and I'm mad that it broke.

This is the third Craftsman torque wrench I've purchased over the last 15 years. The first two were presumably made in America, even though based on the outcome of a 2004 class action lawsuit, that's questionable. In any case, this one is clearly made in China and nowhere near the quality of the first two. Even the "so called" case is a joke. You have to use a screwdriver to attach the top! The fit and finish are very average and the plastic handle and lock collar appear fragile. I don't often need a 1/2" torque wrench and use it primarily to tighten wheel lug nuts and suspension components. For the price, I paid $69, I think it's a good deal, but if I needed a wrench to use on a routine basis, I'd definitely look elsewhere. You get what you pay for, and as far as torque wrenches go, $69 is cheap.

These were on sale, so I bought a few for the shop. The first one failed within a week. The next one was dead about a month later and the last died about 2 months after purchase. All 3 failed in the same way. The handle gets loose and slides up and down a half inch so you have no idea what torque it is set to. I have had the old ones with an all black handle around for 13 years and none of them have ever failed. These are just junk and Sears should be embarrassed to put the craftsman name on them.

Sears was SALE-ing these @ $39.99 so I decided to purchase one from their website and pick it up in-store. I already have an in/lbs 3/8" wrench and wanted a 1/2" ft/lbs.

"The Virtues of Owning A Vornado Air Circulation System"
I have owned my Vornado space heater for approximately 3 years and it has given very satisfying service for the entire time. I like the compact size of the unit and that it is light-weight and very sturdy. It heats an entire room and even very large room with ease and runs quietly. The cabinetry is light beige and the styling fits in all my rooms. The Vornado plugs into a regular room electrical outlet and most importantly, it has a shut-off valve that automatically activates for fire prevention. The cabinet stays cool while heating and is constructed with lots of ventilation slots to help with the cooling element. I also like that it holds the heat level constant in the room and can be dialed back for energy conservation. The price was reasonable and overall the unit is easily operated. The only thing that I dislike is the small size of the unit which requires me to put it on a table in order to heat well in a room with a vaulted ceiling. I have never had to repair or replace this space heater. I would buy this same brand again and recommend it to a friend.

"Fast heat for whole room"
I have owned this space heater for 3 months. I like the fact that it has a remote control and digital thermostat. The con is that the display can be overwhelming bright in darkness and the unit is fairly expensive. Fortunately, I have never needed to repair it and it comes with a 5 year warranty. I would certainly buy this brand again and have recommended it to several friends.

"Much needed heat"
I have owned my space heater for about 2 months now. I bought it when the weather started getting just a little bit cold with the changing of the seasons. I was more or less getting prepared for the onset of fall. What I like about this space heater is it is a very efficient, stylish way to heat whatever area I am in, without having to turn on the overall heat in my house. It saves me a lot of money overall, which is much needed as a college student. The only thing I do not like about it is having to constantly move it from room to room when I am moving around my house. I have not had to repair or replace it yet. I would definitely buy this brand again, and I have already recommended it to friends.

Has non-bullying people got in your way of bullying? Well stand up for your rights to be a bully.
That is it . . .All bullies should ban together and stand up for their rights.
OH WAIT A MINUTE! . . .You bullies have no rights.
Oh yeah . . .Yes you do . . .What are we thinking . . .Every time you bullies get hurt, hurting someone you take them to court.
Picture this . . .One master bully and his/her two side-kicks waited after school to have fun with the new kid. It was not long a wait until this new kid turned the corner, stepping off the school grounds to cross over, cutting through the long strip of trees, taking the short way home. This short way home proved to be almost fifteen minutes faster for the kid. Of course unknown to the kid he/she was being watched for the last few days by these bullies as they zeroed in on the kid when he/she started at the school.
The build up of excitement in each of the bullies, grew, the closer the kid got to them . . .Then BAM! . . .Just like that without warning, a bucket of shit came down all over the kid. Well the air as full of loud laughter and high fives all around. Yippee. Then they tossed, rather kicked, the kid into the ravine as they called and laughed pointing fingers telling the kid to wash he/she smells like shit. So much fun . . .See ya tomorrow.
It's a nice thought to think at times tomorrow never comes.
The kid was not a swimmer at all. But he/she struggled and fought and got out of the water, climbed back up the embankment and placed his/her fist into the eye of the biggest bully there . . .Awe . . .Ouch why did you do that . . .I did not hit you. Oh yeah? You just wait the bully said . . .
That evening the police showed up to the kids home and arrested the kid and he is being charged with violence and will carry this record, all his/her life, and the bully get off scott free with pay at that . . .Need less to say the bully's are still having their fun and he/she is doing community work after school for 18 months. So . . .
Stand up for your rights to be a bully

For last weekend's cover story about the University of Virginia, we sent the Berlin-based photographer Harf Zimmermann to visit the school's campus. Zimmermann is known for his picturesque landscapes and has photographed the Hudson River and the island of Socotra for the magazine and T, respectively.
Zimmermann considers light the crucial component of his pictures. "More important than composition or the technical aspects," he says. "A photograph could be technically imperfect but when the light is good, it could still be a stunning image." The best time to find that light, he adds, is very early in the day: "The morning is new and fresh and nobody has seen it before. I'm the first and only one."

Part of the training to become a lifeguard involves understanding panic and the power of the survival instinct in someone who is drowning. I remember the training videos of true stories documenting the tremendous strength of adrenaline that led to tragedies like a tiny preschooler clamping himself around his father's neck and drowning them both. I have felt the desperate grab of wide-eyed children caught in the force at the bottom of the waterslide where I worked as a teen guard. Popping in and out of waist-deep rushing water to grab a kid hardly made an impact on any us as it was a low-risk, nearly daily occurrence.
When I was eighteen, I agreed to teach a friend's fourteen-year-old brother how to swim in my backyard pool. He was too embarrassed take lessons at the public pool where I had taught a number of fearful adults. By then I had taught a couple of hundred kids at home.
None of my swimming lesson lifejackets fit Ray, so we started our lessons with a styrofoam kickboard and just walked around the perimeter of the tiny shallow end. Once he was feeling more confident, I taught him to blow bubbles, get his face wet and he progressed to assisted floats.
As his confidence grew, it was clear that we needed more space. When Ray did a float, his body filled the entire shallow area of the pool. I wanted to get him to start kicking his feet and moving around in the water, but there was simply nowhere to go except for the deep end. I laid down the safety rules.
"Forget that it's the deep end. You can float without putting your feet down. You can flip on your back. It doesn't matter how close the bottom is because you don't need it. If you're tired or your board slips, float on your back and I'll pull you to the side. Just relax and don't grab me. Ok? DON'T GRAB ME. You'll be fine."
And Ray was fine - for about three seconds. He awkwardly let go of the wall and started to kick his feet. From beside him in the water, I saw his shoulders tense up, his arms straighten and push his chest up off the board, causing it to rock uncontrollably from side to side. He violently flipped over - arms and legs thrashing. I tried to get behind him but he was both clinging to me and climbing me and we were plunged into an eerie quiet as we struggled underwater. His strength astounded me. My foot shot out and caught him in the middle of his chest, and I broke free long enough swim down under him and away, then to the surface to catch a fast breath. I then grabbed him from behind before he could reach me. Somehow, I dragged him to the surface and slammed him into the concrete side of the pool. I have no recollection of what happened after that. I do know that was our last lesson, and that I never took a non-swimmer anywhere near his size back there again.
I remember so many positive things about becoming a lifeguard, but the dreaded part of my early training involved being 'attacked' by my instructors and peers in simulations (see 'Leapfrog' game in link, p102) for a new, tame version) of the situation I ended up having with Ray that day. Being ready for it probably saved both of our lives. Without the prior practice, I would have been completely unprepared for his strength, and would not have had the reflex to kick and the wisdom to duck down under him before heading to the surface for that crucial breath that allowed me to bring him up.
Please put your children into swimming lessons and take them swimming regularly. Ensure that they know about water safety. And protect yourselves. DO NOT jump in after someone - reach something out to them or throw something that floats. IF YOU MUST JUMP IN after a little one, bring something that floats to shove into their arms from behind them so they have something to grab that isn't you. Supervise your children around water, and be a good role model. You can't expect your children to wear a lifejacket in a boat if you are sitting on yours. Even great swimmers need a lifejacket if they are unconscious in the water, have a cramp, an injury or are too exhausted or cold to carry on.
Not everyone needs to get their lifeguard qualifications - but in Canada and the U.S. in 2012, there should not be any more Rays. And when you think about it, he really is one of the lucky ones. He was embarrassed and could still be a non-swimmer, but he's cautious and he's alive. Last summer in Ontario alone we lost at least six children to drowning - and even more children lost loved ones.
Be prepared so that this summer can be a great one with your friends and family.

Plumbing drips and leaks can be costly in more ways than you may want to imagine. According to Len the Plumber, a Baltimore area plumber, leaks can corrode your pipes and waste "hundreds of gallons of water per month". recommends periodically checking all your pipes, faucets, and toilets to be sure there are no leaks. I learned the hard way two years ago when I was assuming moisture under my kitchen sink was from recyclables after they had been washed out. By the time I figured out I was wrong, it was a much bigger job to fix. Leaks can lead to the breakdown of your cabinetry and attract pests as the wood begins to rot. Also, if your toilet is leaking, it may fall through the flooring eventually - and nobody wants that.

Hey there!
This week has seemed…weird. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I'm feeling a bit off. Maybe it's due to weaning from breastfeeding (less oxytocin hormones?) – not sure.
On a happier note, it is Zach and my 3 year anniversary today!!! Amazing
We have plans for a decadent dinner out on Friday night:
Anyway, I started to notice that Healthy Living Summit comments are surfacing for 2012. I was able to attend in 2011 and have made the decision to not go again. There were a few wonderful aspects of my experience last year: meeting and rooming with Jillian of Sprinkle Massacre (she's faboosh, btw); getting one heck of a swag bag (I'm a sucker for free food goodies that I actually enjoy); visiting / exploring Philly (and seeing an old college friend).
My reasons for not attending this year are in large part due to the 'negatives' of last year:
- I assume it won't be near SF, therefore will require a plane ticket and hotel fees –> mucho dinero = blah
- I now have Sawyer…not that this would hold me back if I wanted to do something, but if I'm going to be away from him for a weekend or longer, I want to make sure it's worth it
- HLS wasn't what I wanted/hoped for:
- No structured fitness classes – only loosely schedule runs (guess what, not everyone likes running )
- Only 1 short day of activities – it's a big commitment to fly to the other side of the country for approximately 8 hours of a conference
- I didn't learn much else that could not have been gleaned from reading the recap posts off my Google Reader
- It felt very cliquey and there was no impetus to meet others
- Lacked a definitive upfront schedule (I ended up booking an early AM flight on Sunday only to find out there was a brunch scheduled that day)
- Based on the 2010 Chicago HLS recaps, I had a different set of expectations for 2011, and from what I'm told, 2010 was enjoyed more by the attendees
Let me add that I did have a nice time overall and was particularly happy about meeting some fabulous ladies who I've had the pleasure of seeing again since then. And quite frankly, there are probably things I could have done to have a more enjoyable experience, but I figure for the cost/time/effort, meh, not worth it this go 'round.
How about you? Are you planning on attending 2012 HLS? I think we should all just meet up in the middle somewhere and spend the day wine tasting…ha!
….aaaand literally since drafting this up, I see that it is in Boston. Well heck, that just throws me for a loop! Why? Because bestie is in Boston so I could bunk with her and maybe just try to meet up with some of the gals I've met before and skip the actual conference part. Hmmm, something to think about, no?

Get my flu shot the second I know there available.
I have no problem with medical industy requiring them being that their workers are so suseptable to getting and passing flu around to vonerable people.
As far as other places requiring it , if you don't want to ...... get another job.
If your that strong against it ....... take a stand and walk. Not like you don't have a choice.
I'd refuse if it offered. I got mine this year and was sick for a solid week 3 days after I got the shot.

Does anybody remember when there was a flu shot given that was making people sicker than people who got the flu were getting? I think it was in the 1980's, and the flu strain may have been a version of the Swine Flu. I think it was so bad the government halted distribution of the shot. If you don't believe such a thing can happen today, pay attention to the flood of television commercials made by lawyers looking to make claims against the drug companies for side effects from the drugs. Not to mention the effects from drugs interacting with foods and drinks we ingest. Just this morning I saw part of a news item on TV about forty-something drugs that can negatively react with eating grapefruit. I appreciate the government seeing to it that the flu shot is made available to us, but no one should be able to force, or even coerce, us into taking anything into our bodies that we don't want in it.

I received my flu shot every year for 20 years while in the military. We were ordered to get the shot and show documentation to our supervisors. I can't recall any of my peers or subordinates contracting the flu. They may have had exemptions for egg allergies or perhaps filtered out those people in the induction physicals. This was after the swine flu shot disaster in the 1970's.
I am for doing good to the poor, but...I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. I observed...that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.

all I know is the very day I got the flu shot, I was sick as dog. I woke up feeling better the next morning.
I don't get the shot, but others at work got sick and missed work,in spite of getting the shot.
no one has pointed out that the shot is only for some of the strains out there, and the makers have to guess to some extent which are going to be the most likely to hit big.
I'd also ask- do you want to fire medical personnel who have enough skill to decide on their own not to get the shot, or those who just do what management says? I know some who are quite competent, and don't promote flu shots as end all, beat all.
One was called in for failed too many trainees- she said when they can spell their own name the same twice, she'd consider management's complaint.
if you get the shot three times, and get sick three times, is that coincidence? Maybe some people just react different.Col 3:23

Daughter received the flu shot 3 years in a row (wife is a health care professional in children's hospital), and became very sick (fevers for 3 days, stuffy head/nose, headaches, etc...) 3 years in a row. I never get the flu shot and rarely get sick, so last year I decided my daughter wasn't getting the flu shot, and last year was the first year my daughter didn't get sick with something. Coincidence? Maybe, but this will be her second year with no flu shot.
I think the world would be a better place if everyone was forced to do Jello-shots.

Couple of things: First, the immune system is similar to a muscle... if one does not exercise it... it does not work well.
Second: For decades the govt has been telling us to eat lots of 'whole grains'... Well if one does some research one will find the food item that spikes the GI (glycemic index) the highest is wheat (and spiking the GI index repeatedly is proven to lead to type 2 diabetes)... MeThinks the govt has the farmers interests ahead of the public... SOOO

Disability is a fundamental facet of human diversity–people with disabilities make up the largest minority in the U.S. population–and disabled people have histories and cultures deserving of study on their own terms. Disability Studies is not primarily the study of disabled people as a distinct population, however; rather, it involves the comprehensive investigation of disability as a cultural construct that undergirds social practices and cultural representations in various media. Disability Studies, then, approaches disability as a system of representation (akin to race and gender) that assigns traits to individuals on the basis of bodily differences.
Disability Studies explores the complex phenomenon of disability from multiple disciplinary–and interdisciplinary–angles. At the heart of contemporary Disability Studies, however, is the "social paradigm" of disability, which locates disability at the intersection between individuals and their cultural and social environments. (It thus complements service-oriented approaches to disability.) It helps prepare students for careers in medicine, social work, public service, and teaching, in which they may deal with disabled persons; it also educates students about the way in which disability affects all citizens as it impinges on issues of broad public concern–such as abortion, capital punishment, genetics and eugenics, euthanasia, health care and health insurance, and welfare.

Change to Jones' swing is paying off
After having a disastrous month of August (.144/.196/.327) Garrett Jones is back on track after making some adjustments to his swing with hitting coach Don Long.
"My hands were getting real high, and I had some extra movement in there, which was causing my timing to be off," Jones said. "I've lowered my hands to try and be more direct to the ball. It's helping. I'm just trying to finish strong and end on a positive note."
The month of September, Jones is batting .276 and in his past seven games he is hitting .370 with four doubles and nine RBI.

Multi-family buildings seen for former site of Angelo's Nursery
By CELINA KAREIVA
Bellevue Reporter Staff writer
December 13, 2012 · Updated 12:15 PM
Four multi-family buildings are planned for construction at the former site of Angelo's Nursery, just north of Crossroads in the Overlake area.
The buildings, which will be located at 2070 NE Bel-Red Road, will house approximately 450 units and provide 600 parking stalls both above and belowground.
Goodman Real Estate (GRE), a Seattle firm, applied for the permit in early November, and tentatively plans to have the project completed by the end of 2014.
"We're now working on the design and hope to be submitting a design packet toward the end of the year," said Brad Reisinger, a project manager with GRE.
The space, formerly occupied by Angelo's nursery, has been considered for several different uses since 2007, when it closed. Puget Sound Energy wanted to build an electric substation on the site and Crescent View Investments, a Canadian firm, shared plans to build a hotel and senior housing in the space. PSE subsequently built a substation on the other side of Bel-Red.
If approved, the buildings could be up to six stories tall. Construction would begin in July of 2013.
GRE will likely save room for commercial retail space in the ground floor of one building. Though in a meeting Tuesday night, GRE said that space may be reverted to residential use, if there isn't demand for retail.
Reisinger said that he expects the building will have plenty of interest with Microsoft headquarters just up the road.
"Bellevue needs housing," said Reisinger, "with the job center that it's become."

Alright just call me a ass. I don't care . If you say any thing against someone 's hero you must be a a ass in this country.
I just read were they are trying to name a Mississippi River bridge after Stan Musial. I have nothing against Stan. If they wanted to name a ball park after him great. A bridge is stupid. Most likely the only thing this guys knows about bridges. They keep you from getting wet.
I live out side of Jackson, MS. They just spent a couple of million dollars to rename the Jackson airport. Wiley Medgar Evers airport. Oh let me back up. They original spent two million to name it Medgar Evers airport. Someone got their feeling hurt because they didn't place his first name on it so the changed it again. Most people didn't even know his first name was Wiley.
As for as I know Mr. Evers knew nothing about flying or like me cared nothing about it. He was local civil rights leader. Because of this a few people felt like he should have a airport named after him. Forget anyone connected to flying.
There are several libraries in Jackson. The main one is named after Eudora Welty. A home girl that became world famous. Most of the others are name after civil rights leaders. None of which were great readers or writers as for as I know.
In my opinion we all pay taxes so in all fairness nothing should be named after any body that hasn't been dead for at least one hundred years. That way the tax payers aren't paying for someone's cousin that gave someone some money or helped them out in life.
Like I started, call me a ass. Still that is how I feel.

When this pet is in close proximity to a Zergling, the two will fight to the death.
Maybe they'll add a Protoss pet to the game some day...
He's my favorite pet of all time, and a great good luck charm!
That said, Grunty is by far the coolest mini-pet in my opinion. I just love how he times his gunfire for the most appropriate times. Like when your raid leader tries to explain a fight to newbies =)
A great pet for troll hunters. :D
(btw, seriously check out his swim animation. So awesome seeing him put his gun on his back in the water.)
by a side note: i don't know if it's me?or does he realy g wild on boss encounters?eacg time i start a boss fight, he shoots like hell! would like to know if u guys see it too :D
When I first saw Murkimus the Gladiator I thought, "What could be more dangerous than a baby murloc with a spear?" Well... I give you Grunty. Somehow Murky's little cousin managed to visit a parallel universe and get his fins on a rapid fire C-14 Impaler gauss rifle and stim-equipped heavy armor. This gear bears the markings of some group called the Terran Dominion. Now I don't know who these Dominion folks are, but they'd better beef up their security before Murky, Lurky, Gurky, and a host of other baby murlocs make off with the rest of their arsenal.

Photos from Rapha (Franklin's) Point
The pictures below are from Andy Pike, who has been following Rapha Condor JLT at the Sun Tour, Down Under. The team, in their freshly designed kit bearing the name of new sponsor JLT, are having a serious early-season test in the cycling-mad state of Victoria.
"Yesterday we welcomed big crowds to the newly claimed Rapha Point, formerly known as Franklin's Point. I'm still buzzing from the atmosphere." - Andrew Pike
The youngsters are getting stuck into a very early season block of racing, having completed the trio of Bay criteriums in Melbourne. It's proving excellent, if tough, preparation for the year ahead, with the experienced Kristian House showed his mettle by placing second in the hilly Portarlington round of the Bay Series. But the conditions got even tougher for the boys in black as the Sun Tour got underway. Forty-degree heat, strong winds and crashes were endured by all, with Aaron Buggle having to undergo surgery on his elbow. The team will now head to Bendigo for a six-week training camp. We wish them well for the coming season and speedy recovery to Aaron and Mike Cuming, who also suffered injuries in the crash. Reflecting on events so far, Team Manager John Herety said:
"There is a lot to take away from these first races. We've come in to a really intense period of the Australian racing calendar and the challenges have been pretty exceptional, but I'm really pleased with what the boys have shown me.

Good tool, use this with mod tools and you can get all music and sound files in wav and listen 'em all you want. Fantastic!
the AIFC plugin will not work since the FDA format uses some sort of in house codec or something of that nature. Only to get the music is to run it through the audio editor tool then record it with some music editing software.
One sorry but I don't trust random links. Host it on DoW files if you really want. And windows comes with a sound recorder application anyways.
On a side note, anyone else have no luck with the mod tools audio editor at all? Followed the RDN tuts and it still won't show anything.
You can all rest easy, I took the risk and downloaded the file, no BS its the real deal.
Everything converts well and now I can actually listen to the sound files for DOW and WA... good stuff, the instructions could be a bit better though.
I cannot get it to work, I am missing something. Can someone please give a more in depth step by step set of instructions?
Detailed instructions.
FDA files from Homeworld II can be played using Winamp (with Relic In_AIFx plugin). Just rename those files extenitions to .aif or .aifc or .aifr. You can also convert them to WAV using dec.exe (see "\tools\bin\" folder in Homeworld II sources, or in archive with my program). FDA files from W40k: DoW are different from those from Homeworld II, but the audio format is the same. So I wrote console utility to convert DoW FDA files to Homeworld II FDAs.
First you need to convert DoW FDA files using command "fda2aifc.exe filename.fda" or "fda2aifc.exe *.fda". This will create files with .aifc extenition. You can already play them with Winamp.
Now you can decode AIFC files to WAVs: "dec.exe filename.aifc filename.wav" Or, if you need to convert many files in one instance use "decShell.exe *.aifc". decShell.exe is a console shell for dec.exe, and it supports filename masks.
P.S.: Those progs aren't trojans or viruses of any kind.
P.P.S.: Delphi sources are included.
I think I missed the link, where can you download them?
I've turned the link in the first post into a real link, which Tommy couldn't do because it was his first post
I see. Sounds like a nifty little plugin, this might be the answer to all those "I want the game music" prayers.
Hmmm, this would be appropriate content for the Adeptus Modificatus boards, you know that jTommy?
You know, it'd be great if you could update the RDN Wiki if this works, it'd be a lot more reliable then getting the sounds from the Audio Editor. I'd be a great help if you can provide some info for those wiki pages
Of course, heaven knows how Relic get by, I bet they have thier own "advanced" tools for this. Glad someone has made something though.
Current DOW information on modding + FAQ - A good read for new and old modders alike!

I got it now thanks <(^.^)> I did not get that you hand to run it through command promt. This is sweet!
Hello, I have try to convert and play some sounds i DoW but the sound are not longer then 1 second why?
I can almost here what they say…
Need some help.
My first Post on this site
I think there is a program that can convert .wav into .mp3.
Edit: Using lame you can encode .mp3 files with those .wav files.
What happens in Greenville, SC stays in Greenville, SC.
This method does indeed work. I was using a similar program I found over on the moviecodec.com forums:
The one at the bottom of that post converts FDR into AIFR, so it probably does a similar thing. I found that a while ago and was going to post some sort of guide to convert, but this package works even better because it includes a way to convert directly to WAV with no special steps. Either way, the music is very good!
I could still probably make a step-by-step guide from start to finish, since there are still a few steps to get from the game files to here hehe.
Tell me about it. I was going to do a guide for the layman but if you want to, vector, I will let you.
Just about done with it. Might as well break in this name on the forums using that. I will put it up in the DoW mod forum, since you have to manipulate alot of game files.

But there is something missing...

And now the second problem just happened.
The convert program don't work anymore. :gonemad:
To Finaldeath:
OK. I will make detailed specs of FDA format. AIFC specs can be found on the Inet so I will write only those changes that Relic made and post it in this thread. I've already posted instructions on how to use programs. The GUI can be added but is it so necessary?
To Cold Evil:
About the first problem: this was a bug in my prog. Now it's fixed.
Ok, now to the second of my problems
The convert programs (fda2aifc.exe, dec.exe, decShell.exe, enc.exe, encShell.exe) don't work anymore :gonemad:
They work yesterday... but not now...
Cool if you don't want to update the wiki, I can always help.Originally Posted by jTommy
I didn't ask for a GUI though...the Audio Editor is Relics tool for burning and modifying FDA files, although you can only play them back in it.
Where are these FDA files found? I can only find SGA in DOW.

The newest judge on "RuPaul's Drag Race" is one of The Chew's own, Clinton Kelly. Clinton could not have been more excited to be a judge, so to thank RuPaul, Clinton prepared his take on Surf and Turf with strip steak and shrimp. After Clinton's less than successfull attempt at dressing in drag last year as Elisabeth Hasselback, it's clear that judging, not dressing, is his forte.

Richmond County Ducks Unlimited will be holding its annual Dinner and Fundraiser at 5:30 p.m. March 7, at the Moose Lodge of Rockingham.
Among many causes to celebrate, the organization earlier this year cleaned and maintained around 67 wood duck boxes in the county. Proving to be regular visitors, screech owls were once again found in some of the boxes. The cleaning and maintenance continued to be a great success with the duck box program and it has been expanded to include the boxes at Hinson Lake. Volunteers are working with the N.C. Wildlife Commission of Sandhills to replace the boxes at Hinson Lake. As they were cleaning out the boxes recently, it was discovered that the ducks had already begun this year's nesting.
Richmond County Vice Chairman Gary Payne was recently promoted to N.C. Western Region State Vice Chairman. Payne will now be overseeing about 30 Ducks Unlimited chapters throughout North Carolina. Part of his duties will be to continue to assist with events, and coordinate with the main office in Memphis, Tenn., on a regional basis. He has been a Ducks Unlimited member since 2007 when he started off as a volunteer.
"He deserves it," said Chairman Frank Parker. "He's a person that goes above and beyond the duties and makes things happen."
Payne said he sees the Western North Carolina region as being one of the best regions for Ducks Unlimited in the upcoming years. The wetlands are important from all aspects of life. Ducks Unlimited strives to involve all people who share a wish to conserve; hunters as well as outdoor enthusiasts.
"We are always looking for people to volunteer their help," said Payne. "Just because you're not a hunter doesn't mean you can't help conserve."
Anyone attending the March 7 event is treated to a meal catered by the American Legion Post 147, along with an annual DU membership. However, ticket availability is limited and everyone is encouraged to purchase them ahead of time. Advance tickets are available from any of the following: Frank Parker 997-6400; Jim Barbee 997-1091 or Gary Payne 417-7570.
Ducks Unlimited got its start in 1937 during the Dust Bowl when North America's drought-plagued waterfowl populations had plunged to unprecedented lows. Determined not to sit by idly as the continent's waterfowl dwindled beyond recovery, a small group of sportsmen joined together to form an organization that became known as Ducks Unlimited. Its mission: habitat conservation.
After decades of abiding by that single mission, Ducks Unlimited is now the world's largest and most effective private waterfowl and wetlands conservation organization. As of Jan. 1, 2012, the organization has conserved 4,531,563 acres in the U.S. alone. Ducks Unlimited is a grassroots, volunteer-based organization. Its members are conservationists and outdoor enthusiasts who live throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico.

How To
More Details
This great-looking Stirling engine is majestic as a piece of art, and it'll help you understand the basics of thermodynamics. You can try 3 different experiments: the generator, the fan, and the car. (Unlike internal combustion engines, Stirling engines run on an external heat source, which can be anything from combustible fuels to geothermal or solar energy!)
Includes instructions in Japanese, but we've got English instructions right here under the "How To" tab. MAKE is proud to be the exclusive distributor in North America for these brilliant kits, part of Gakken's Sophisticated Science Kit for Adults series.

The Stirling engine was invented by Rev. Robert Stirling (1790-1878), an engineer and minister from Scotland, U.K. He invented this external combustion engine in 1816 because the steam engine, which was in its heyday then, was repeatedly causing injury due to boiler explosions, and he was pained by that fact. Around 1850, the Stirling engine had as many usages as the steam engine. However, since the invention of the gasoline engine, the Stirling engine has faded out of history. It came back to the spotlight in 1973 during the oil crisis, attracting attention because of the high theoretical value of thermal efficiency and because this external combustion engine has no limitation of heat source. Recent research is aimed at using the Stirling engine in various fields, such as in space with solar energy.

Sterling Engine kit
January 29, 2013
Reviewer: Samir Kashou from Porter, TX United States
I bought this kit and assembled it during Christmas. Initially It didnt work. I found out that the piston rod disconnected from the little platsic cylinder that connected to the piston body. I guess the glue didnt hold. so I used expoxy glue and glued the little piece back. Then the steel wool displacer was not performing correctly and so I had to make another one. Initially I used rubbing alcohol for fuel and that didnt work very well. Finally I bought 95% alcohol designed for heating small lanterns. THat did the trick. The flame was much hotter. I had to do some tweeks of the four screws that held the piston assembly to get the engine to run smoothly. I put a video on youtube.

Not working
January 21, 2013
Reviewer: Karstyn from San Carlos, CA United States
I'm actually very surprised there is not a user forum for MakerShed kits.
I say it's not working but I'm open the fact I may be missing something, although I have tried to very meticulous on following the directions. The alignment is off and the engine will not run even by the battery. There seems to be a lot of tension when the to main gears have there studs that the top/bottom of the rotation, and I can't find a way to prevent it. I also had to add a couple of extra washers behind Connecting Rods to push them out father so the Displacer Rod would align with the holes and not add any resistance.
Any one get this working that can offer some advice - I would greatly appreciate it!
Also odd that there does not seem to be a way to read other reviews!

Fun and Engaging
January 1, 2013
Reviewer: Adam from San Dimas, CA United States
My 16-year-old put this together in 3 hours. It runs perfectly. Remember that when adjusting the cylinder height to align the piston while on battery power you need to have the glass off. Once you put the glass on, the battery pack is not powerful enough to move the piston against the compressed air/vacuum. (This is a feature, not a bug. The engine runs partially on vacuum. You don't want a wimpy vacuum.) Once you have it aligned and running well on battery power with the glass off, it'll run twice as well on the alcohol flame.

Cool Kit but HORRIBLE Cust Serv from Makershed!
October 15, 2011
Reviewer: Joseph S from St. Paul MN United States
Cool kit but questionable quality and extremely POOR cust serv response from MakerShed.
After much tweaking and consulting with the 'troubleshooting' section of the manual and the online site we still couldn't get the unit to function on its own. Exchanges w/ Maker Shed 'experts' via email was disappointing but suggested that it wasn't operator error. However that is not where my disappointments ended.
The response from the Maker Sheds customer support dept was absolutely horrible! Multiple emails and a few phone calls just to get a response from them concerning troubleshooting help. Throughout the process of returning the $150 kit for a refund they have been just as UNresponsive as they were in the troubleshooting process. It's been over two seeks since I shipped the kit back for a refund- multiple emails to check/confirm the return and I'm still awaiting a response.
Would I order the kit again? No.
Would I order from the MakerShed again? No. (unless cost was under $10)

the glass cylinder
January 26, 2011
Reviewer: Quentin Beaujean from Vielle-Saint-Girons, Aquitaine France
Hello !
I bought your product on your website 3 months ago, it worked very well until i broke the glass cylinder.
I accidentally cool it too quickly ...
So i'm trying to find an other glass cylinder on the web but in vain .
So can you tell me how i could replace the glass cylinder ?
I'm making a study in a french ingeneering school to use the stirling engine as a converter from the solar energy to the mecanical one's.
