I think that you could do it. The only thing I would be concerend about, is what you are going to use for the table top. -- Tim, Missouri ....Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what the heck happened |

Personally, I wouldn't want to use a home made table saw of any size – let alone a 12"er. I feel quite comfortable using a "commercial" TS, knowing that it's design and construction (as well as some common sense on my part) should let me keep my body parts intact and my blood contained. I doubt if I would feel that way about a home built version. – lol -- Adversity doesn't build character...................it reveals it. |

just curious, why a 12" saw? russv -- yknotwood.com: where to go because you don't want no stinking plastic! |
#10 posted 1474 days ago |
In my opinion, it is possible to make a safe, homemade table saw if you don't include the feature that allows you to change the angle of the blade. You could control the depth of the cut by raising and lowering the table. Without the tilting feature, you are talking about pretty simple machinery. A motor, a belt, some bearings, and a blade in a solid wooden structure. The number one safety factor is the person using the saw. For what it is worth – - Many years ago I rigged up a table saw by turning a hand held circular saw upside down and mounting it in a table. It worked. But I had no height or tilt adjustment capabilities. -- Rich, Cedar Rapids, IA - I'm a woodworker. I don't create beauty, I reveal it. |
#11 posted 1474 days ago |
rich, the only issue with this idea, you're not going to get a 12" capacity out of a circ saw. designing and building your own wouldn't be that hard though. I would mount the table so it can be raised and lowered. i would mount the motor independent and adjust it for the angle adjustments. piece of cake. I saw on an earlier post a tablesaw where the table top tilted. To me, that's an accident waiting to happen. I don't even like tilting my bandsaw table (but I do sometimes). but a tablesaw top tilted makes controling the wood harder and more dangerous. russv -- yknotwood.com: where to go because you don't want no stinking plastic! |
#12 posted 1474 days ago |
russv – I agree completely. Many years ago I began with a ShopSmith. I'm still a ShopSmith fan but my number one complaint about them is tilting the table instead of tilting the blade. it is hard (very hard sometimes) to control the wood on a tilted table. -- Rich, Cedar Rapids, IA - I'm a woodworker. I don't create beauty, I reveal it. |
#13 posted 1474 days ago |
Hmm, balancing on one foot while pumping w/ the other while keeping a piece of wood tightly pressed to a miter gauge while sliding it down a tilted table towards a spinning blade of death… yep, don't see anything wrong with that. |
#14 posted 1474 days ago |
My very first table saw was a circular saw bolted under a 3' x 3' plywood table which straddled two sawhorses. I used a homemade wooden fence that I just clamped on. I used it to make kids picnic tables that I sold from the front of my parents lawn when I was about eighteen or so. I sold quite a few. Man, that's almost 35 years ago. -- Rick, Canada, http://www.table-saw-guide.com |
#15 posted 1474 days ago |
The bigger problem I see is the 1 horse motor. My Jet had a 3 horse motor and I would have liked a 5. I don't think a 12 inch blade will work very well on a 1 horse motor. -- Thos. Angle, Jordan Valley, Oregon |

California Electric Restructuring Update
California regulators have issued a series of important rulings this spring as they continue to move forward with restructuring the state's electric utility industry.
On May 6, the California Public Utilities Commission accelerated the pace of its industry reform by ordering all electric utilities in the state to allow direct access to alternate electricity suppliers for all customers on Jan. 1, 1998. Other related rulings cover issues such as billing and metering, transactions with affiliates, the effect of restructuring on performance-based ratemaking measures and consumer education requirements.
Direct Access. After reviewing the direct-access proposals developed by the state's largest electric utilities (em Pacific Gas and Electric Co., Southern California Edison Co., and San Diego Gas and Electric Co. (em the commission found no technical constraint to an immediate start-up. It also noted that state legislation enacted while the commission was developing its restructuring policy permits all customers to choose suppliers; not just industrial customers or those served by the state's largest utilities.
The commission acknowledged the possibility of certain "commercial constraints," such as the ability of the utilities to process the initial round of direct-access requests. However, it found that market forces likely would limit the number of customers choosing the direct-access option during the formation of restructuring.
In addition, the commission concluded that immediate implementation of the direct-access option would limit undue influence by investor-owned electric utilities influence on prices in the new power exchange spot market. It said if spot prices were to rise because of market power by any entity, customers could decide to buy electricity through the direct-access market. To address market power concerns in both the power exchange and the direct-access market, the option to choose "cannot be merely a theoretical option for consumers, but must be a full developed and viable option," the commission said.
The commission also found the original
8-megawatt eligibility limit for participation was no longer appropriate. Since the adoption of the restructuring plan it had developed a process under which new entities known as "scheduling coordinators" would reduce the transaction processing burden on the transmission system. (It is anticipated that the new scheduling coordinators will reduce confusion on the system by aggregating various transactions and bundling them into a "balanced schedule" before submitting them to the independent system operator.) Such a system effectively substitutes for minimum-aggregation load levels, the commission said. Re Proposed Policies Governing Restructuring California's Electric Services Industry and Reforming Regulation, R.94-04-031, Decision 97-05-040, May 6, 1997 (Cal.P.U.C.).
In its initial restructuring policy issued last year, the commission had said that the utilities could limit availability of direct access to larger customers or groups. It had planned to initiate restructuring with the formation of a wholesale spot market and an independent system operator for the state's transmission system. It also would have phased in direct access, with all customers eligible within five years. See, Re Proposed Policies Governing Restructuring California's Electric Services Industry and Reforming Regulation, 166 PUR4th 1 (Cal.P.U.C. 1996).
Billing and Metering. At the May 6 hearing, the commission also ruled that competitors may provide their own consolidated

"I'm very suspicious of people who think they know where they will be in 10 years. You have to be flexible"
"The best hires are folks who can hit the ground running. They come with ideas they want to see in action"
Paul Teller (Republican Study Committee) shares his advice for breaking into a career on Capitol Hill at AFF's July event on Capitol Hill.
In Washington DC, libertarians have long been outsiders, working hard to fight big-government policies despite meager representation in the two main parties. Fortunately, organizations like the Cato Institute have made great strides in bringing the cause of liberty to the forefront of national debates. Today, David Boaz, Executive Vice President at Cato, is one of the battle-tested leaders at the forefront of that campaign.
"I think the most important thing the Cato Institute has done," Boaz says, "is to create a presence for libertarian ideas — the ideas of the American Revolution — in Washington and the national political debate, so policymakers and journalists can't ignore them. We do that by talking about fundamental ideas, developing policy proposals based on those ideas, and reminding people that lots of Americans are neither liberal nor conservative but hold essentially libertarian ideas."
Like many libertarians, Boaz was not born and raised a libertarian. He was, however, raised in a family of conservatives, most of them lawyers, who regularly talked politics around the house. "There was a lot of political talk in my household growing up," Boaz says, "so I was always interested in politics and policy." However, he eventually encountered the writings of Ayn Rand (as well as Goldwater, Hazlitt and Hayek) and he soon began to see "a tension in conservative thought between freedom and government-imposed order."
By college, Boaz was a nascent libertarian and starting a chapter of Young Americans for Freedom at Vanderbilt. Although he applied to law schools, he realized that he was more interested in advancing freedom than in studying law. After graduating, he moved to Washington and became the first Executive Director of the Young America's Foundation. Looking for a more explicitly libertarian organization, Boaz eventually found the Cato Institute.
In the intervening years, the Cato Institute has grown rapidly, and Boaz's roles and responsibilities have expanded as well. He worked hard, proactively sought out new opportunities to grow both the organization and his role within it, and became Executive Vice President. However, he is quick to emphasize the importance of results and personal fulfillment over the importance of job titles. He says the proudest moment of his career was writing Libertarianism: A Primer and editing The Libertarian Reader, "all in the space of about six months." "Of course," he says, "when people ask me how long it took, I tell them 20 years, because that's how long I'd been studying the ideas that ended up in those books."
Despite an impressive litany of personal and organizational successes at the Cato Institute, Boaz remains energized and focused on the challenges that lie ahead: "Most Americans believe in the fundamental libertarian value that people should be free to live their lives as they choose so long as they respect the equal rights of others," he says, "but when it comes to applications, it's so tempting to want something free from government, or want to advantage your own business over your competitors, or want to tell other people who or what they shouldn't read, smoke, eat, drink, or marry."
Boaz knows as well as anyone that winning over the American people, let alone politicians in DC, is a huge task. Nonetheless, he is confident that the efforts of Cato and the larger liberty movement, are moving America ever closer to "moving day", the day when Cato's work will be done, and he and his colleagues can "all load our trucks to move back to California or wherever my colleagues would like to live."
For America, he says, "moving day" will arrive with "a federal government living under the constraints of the Constitution, no longer exercising the powers not granted to it — a foreign policy of restraint, a federal government that mostly defends us from foreign threats and adjudicates disputes that cross state lines, and most other aspects of life left to the states respectively, or to the people."
Finally, Boaz has a word of advice for the next generation of libertarian leaders:
First, don't be in a hurry to start a career. You have every prospect of living a long, long time. Enjoy your youth. Live abroad, walk across the country, work on a hopeless political campaign. Find your career when you know what you want to do. But if you ARE determined to get started on that liberty-advancing career, then do a good job from the beginning. You can get by with B- work in college…But in a world where our opponents are doing A work, we're looking for interns and new employees who do A+ work and ask what else they can do to help.
Of course, there are many excellent organizations, such as America's Future Foundation, which can help young leaders on the way: "AFF gives people an opportunity to learn about many different organizations and branches of the liberty movement, and a chance to hear ideas debated. Those are all part of your effort to find your own place in the movement."
Tom Swanson is a student at the University of Notre Dame and served as an intern at America's Future Foundation in summer 2012.
"One thing we take very seriously in the lobbying community is that we really are exercising 1st amendment rights on behalf of a lot of citizens in this country."
Shawn Friesen, Director of Legislative, Political and Grassroots Advocacy for The American Academy of Dermatology Association, speaks about the role that lobbyists play in Washington, and gives some tips for breaking into a lobbying career.
"Boys are suffering a death of a thousand cuts" in today's education system.
Ron Henry, president of The Boy's Initiative, says that America's education system has grown increasingly unfriendly to boys' learning styles and needs. At AFF's July roundtable on higher education, Ron talked about this "death of a thousand cuts", why it came into existence, why it's bad for our education system, and what to do about it.
"If you're interested in a graduate program, you should look at a top-50 school. If you can't get them to fund you, do something else."
Bill Glod from the Institute for Humane Studies looks at the higher education bubble in graduate schools, particularly in the humanities, where he says too many students are either uninterested or unqualified.
John Barry, former Executive Director of America's Future Foundation, is now the Head of Government Affairs for Visa International in London, England. Last week we caught up with him to talk about careers, liberty, and AFF.
America's Future Foundation: How did you get involved in the liberty movement?
John Barry: Thanks to my family. My uncle is Ed Feulner. But more importantly, my father ran a small family foundry that was effectively put out of business by overbearing federal regulation.
AFF: What did you learn during your time with AFF?
JB: I learned the importance of personal connections and telling stories to get our point across.
AFF: How and why did you make the move to the private sector?
JB: I got lucky and was able to leverage my time working on Capitol Hill into a government relations job with Visa. It was important for me to get out of Washington and see what life is like in the actual economy that we in the Liberty movement talk so much about. This job came up that was about as far as you can get from Washington (San Francisco and now London) but still made use of my professional connections and experience working in and around DC.
AFF: What has been the key to your professional success?
JB: To the extent I've been successful, it's a result of making sure to associate myself with hard working and determined colleagues. Be open to new experiences and always focus on the substance of the work and not the politics.
AFF: Speaking of success, what is the best thing young professionals can do to advance their career?
JB: Get multiple different experiences both inside the liberty movement and outside. You'll be much more credible and wise if you get firsthand experience being an entrepreneur or working in the private sector as well as working within the movement.
AFF: We know liberty is important to individuals. Is liberty an important principle in business?
JB: Certainly, liberty at the societal level is essential for business to flourish. This is something that many in business today have forgotten as they seek special regulatory treatment or subsidies from the government. So, yes, I think liberty is an essential principle in sustaining long term business success.
AFF: Do you have a favorite memory from your time with AFF?
JB: Probably the crabfests! Oh…and when we published the first issue of DoubleThink. It was such a landmark that we had become a permanent organization and produced something tangible.
AFF: Why do you support AFF financially, and would you encourage others to do the same?
JB: I support AFF financially because I believe that it is an investment in people, and that is one of the best investments that can be made. Investing in AFF is literally investing in the infrastructure of the Liberty Movement. My investment in AFF is multiplied many times over as AFFers develop through their career and the investment by others in other organizations kick in to further support their development and work. For these reasons and more, I'd absolutely encourage everybody to support AFF.
For example, Amanda Winther-Schorsch, an AFF member, won a lunch with Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) at AFF's Gala back in May. Last week she finally got to cash in. In addition to lunch, the day included a tour of the U.S. Capitol and plenty of great discussion. Here's what Amanda had to say about the once-in-a-lifetime experience:
"My friend and colleague Tim Hedberg and I had lunch with Senator Rand Paul last Thursday, and I wanted to write you to thank you and AFF for making this possible. We ate in the private senate dining room, where we discussed current events, our work and interests, including online education and reaching young people through social media.
Afterwards, Tim and I were privileged to receive a private tour of the capitol building. It was an inspiring and exciting lunch, certainly an extremely unique opportunity for me as a young professional to engage with the ideas of liberty on a different level.
The AFF gala was my first AFF event, and I know I will be back for more. Thank you again for making this possible!"
Just one more example of how AFF helps young professionals advance their liberty careers! Join as a member now.
Should the government be able to tell us what to eat? Antonie Hodge doesn't think so:
"If you want to do paleo, you should do paleo. If you want to eat donuts or smoke cigarettes, you should be able to do that too"
Antonie Hodge (Institute for Humane Studies) speaks at AFF's "Get Government out of the Regrigerator" roundtable. Antonie speaks about her discovery and adoption of the paleo diet, which directly contradicts the USDA's dietary guidelines.
Here are the highlight's from Dr. Ed Feulner's keynote speech at AFF's 2012 Leadership Dinner. Dr. Feulner is president at the Heritage Foundation. The speech focused on helping young professionals move up in their careers in the liberty movement.
As he prepares to name a successor, Fred Smith has big plans for the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI). Since founding the think tank in 1984, he has grown the organization into one of the most well-respected free-market organizations in Washington, but he knows how much hard work is left.
"If you look at the whole liberty movement across the world, let's say .0001 of the world economy is devoted to defending freedom. You can be optimistic about how much value we've created with such little money, but you can also see how much more we could do," Fred says, "The good news is that we don't have to be the best, we just have to be better than the other side."
However, Fred thinks there will be great opportunities to drive reform and return to free-market principles in the near future. "Statism is always failing," he says, "We just have to stay around long enough to be there to suggest liberty as an alternative. Our system is falling apart now too. Our job will be to pick up the pieces and put it back together in a better way."
He points out the ways that societal and technological changes (such as the internet in the last 20 years) have been able to drive political change: "We don't even know what will generate growth and wealth in the next 20 years—it hasn't been invented yet." CEI is committed to staying vigilant, and staying around to ensure that "remolded" societies 20 years from now are more fundamentally committed to liberty than they are now.
Fred is confident that the next president of CEI will be up to the task, saying CEI will find someone a little more management-oriented. "There are a lot more issues," he says, "and we have to get a lot bigger."
Preparing to step down from the CEI presidency has given him a chance to reflect on how he got there in the first place. Growing up in the 60's, Fred initially thought his support for the civil rights movement meant he was a liberal. He eventually began working for the EPA, but he was soon shaken by the inefficiency and corruption of big government bureaucracy. This experience illustrated the importance of free market principles, but it also left him impressed with how well environmental groups organized themselves. He realized that the liberty movement was falling behind in this regard.
This realization prompted him to form CEI, an organization that could promote freedom across many policy areas, from developing the "intellectual ammo," to marketing ideas, to forming alliances, to advocating policy change. This "vertical structure" made CEI unique amongst its peers, but its early years were frustrating. Fred was unable to pay himself a salary for his first year building the organization.
Of course, CEI grew quickly and flourished, thanks to the hard work, vision, and entrepreneurial spirit of Fred Smith and many others. "Nobody thinks they're entrepreneurial," he says, "You look back and realize it later."
Fred's experience and eventual success has given him a lot of wisdom to share with the young liberty-minded entrepreneurs of today:
"There's a lot to learn. You want a certain cockiness, that's useful, but you don't want to act like you know it all already. DC is a strange place. Don't be afraid to make a fool of yourself. By being willing to express ignorance, you can learn more. Be a journalist: call people up and ask them to help you understand issues. Read."
"You don't have to be the expert, you can be an advocate. You don't have to be the expert, but you have to know who the experts are. You can be a facilitator. Alliance-building is all about outreach. Market yourself, sell your ideas, and be alert for what people are doing in your field. Look out for things you can improve on and people who have the resources you need to succeed."
Smith offers valuable advice for young people—the same people who will have to "pick up the pieces" and "suggest liberty as an alternative" in tomorrow's world.

Sep 20, 2013The Pop Century is my favourite of the Disney value resorts. The shadow boxes of vintage novelties and the retro décor definitely give it a level of class that sets it apart from the others. They seemed to tone down the usual sugary-neon pop of the All-Star resorts, although they do stick with the large displays outdoors. But this is Disney, the happiest place on earth - vibrant colours and larger-than-life themes are all part of the experience. The kids are visibly thrilled when they see the giant Rubix cubes and roller skates outside. All other ages can be seen pointing excitedly at the posters and memorabilia, enjoying a cheery trip down memory lane.

Great "theme"-ing of thr grounds. Rooms adequate size for a family with 2 adults and 2 small kids. (But who spends much time in the room when you're at WDW, anyway?) Good value when WDW transportation to the various parks and extra early/late hours in the parks for resort guests are factored in.

Disney usually does it right, that's why they are the official leaders in creating magic moments. Pop Century Resort is like all of Disney's lower budget hotels. It's located on Disney's ridiculously large plot of land, there is a free bus service to and from the parks, saving $15 on parking daily, the rooms are decent, and the basics of what you may need are provided while on vacation.
There are no frills and it's by no means luxury, but Disney's no extra's is still pretty cool. Giant statues and figurings are set around the property, like 40ft Rubik's cubes, a titanic Mr. and Mrs. Potato head, and a Mickey phone that's the size of small condominium.
Like everything with the Walt Disney World Resort, Pop Century is family friendly and has great customer service.

Sep 13, 2013The only reason I can justify staying here is if your kids are addicted to neon plastic and sugar, and you are on a budget with an attention deficit, so need to be as close to the Disney theme parks as you can while paying the least amount possible. The rooms are tiny and minimalist, reminding me of campground resorts. There are no suites or upgrades. There is also no wifi. So, as an adult, your only solace from ear-deafening pop beats, screaming kids and Rubix Cubes the size of bulldozers is the Petals pool bar. And guess what, it's painted in neon flowers and sits in a major pathway between the lobby and pool. Someone please just put me out of my misery now! Seriously, this is not a value in any sense of the word. Look just outside the borders of the Magic Kingdom and you'll find much more for less...
Recommended for:Family Travelers - Disney's Pop Century ResortSusan V. (Disney Expert)Sep 15, 2013
I'm going to group my review of Disney's value resorts together. I categorize them exactly the same.
If you want tons of theming at minimal price with excellent value then I would suggest Disney's Pop Century or Disney's All Stars Resorts.
The oversized whimsical tributes to pop culture, movies, sports or music makes kids eyes light up. Their pools are plentiful and fun, the food courts can be beat anywhere else, gift shops serve your souvenir needs and there are game rooms. The main pools have pool bars too.
If I do not stay at these resorts, my only reasons are 1) location: I prefer something a little closer to the parks. These resorts are some of the farthest out. 2) If I'm with adults I prefer less noise. These resorts tend to have thinner walls and a little less square footage. 3) If I have more money to spend I'll stay at something that suits # 1 and #2 as previously mentioned.
But, I think these truly are the best value on property and can't be beat in the Orlando area for the money.Recommended for:Family Travelers

I love You Because You Love my Secretary
She never gives you the messages,
she doesn't brighten your day
she doesn't look at you adoringly
in that little school girl way.
She is often doing something,
that takes her attention away,
Even though you try so hard
its hard to find the words to say.
You listen to the yells she screams,
you hear her grumbling sighs,
the looks she gives you,
the tones she speaks in,
Cryptic language used at times.
She hides the mirror of herself
she doesn't want to see
who she really has become
isn't what she claims to be
For your secretary is me

I know some people have posted their MMOs or talked about them in other boards, but there is only one MMO I play- Glitch. It's MMO Cooperative world building.
Unfortunately, it's not the most welcoming to newcomers (not by fault of the community- being cooperative rather than competitive leads to an incredibly friendly user base) but because it can take weeks to learn the skills necessary to plant trees, make farms (as in, farms with crops, not gold or EXP farming), or build buildings and furniture.
It's free. The only way to pay for anything in game is clothing and cosmetic items (such as being able to reskin a piece of furniture or building you made, although a god number of the reskins cost nothing). You can't spend money to learn skills faster or get any in-game skills or items, only cosmetically modify existing ones.
I'm Xalia on there if any of you happen to play. It's still in beta, so if you want to try it out, PM me with an email you use and I can send an invite.
Also, one of the creators is the guy from Katamari Damacy, so expect weird gorgeous graphics. ESPECIALLY the quest where you learn Firefly Whistling. Man that was trippy.
Here's the actual site, in case you're interested.

van or truck intake and PI or non-PI. PI's are not nearly as tall as the non-pi intakes (lightning's are only PI engines i think). 4.6 intake adapter plates (PFS-54110) and a mustang intake would probably clear
November 15th, 2012, 06:18 PM | #24 |
Im going FAST!!!
whoa, I forgot about this thread...lol
Yes that lightning engine is tall as hell. Thats a tight fit in that buggy for sure. I was only considering it because I could get motor and trans from a friends truck that is completely built with a 3.4 whipple putting out 685hp at the wheels in the lightning. he was going to sell it to me for a pretty damn good price but I think fitment will be to much of an issue expessially with the 4r100 and trying to run a 205...lol I am not to worried about the width as this is not really going into a 74 bronco it will be a tube chassis with bronco skins so I have a lot of freedom to build it how it will need to be to fit everything. I have pretty much decided to do the 4.6 3 valve with a gt500 blower. should make about 500-530hp at the crank. mustang guys with the same set up and tune are gettign 430 at the wheels... Erin your engine runs pretty damn strong, what kinda #s are you putting out?? |

the tranny deal is huge i think.you loose a lot of rear wheel hp with bigger tranny's. i was always told a turbo 400 or a 4l60 take 40 more hp to run then compared to a turbo 350. 60 for a 4l80.i wonder what the loss is on the tranny your looking at if any?

Is the "you" you are addressing on this forum? If not, then why are you here griping at us about it? I think you should deal with the person/people causing the trouble directly.
"But why do you bid on brand terms when merchants say do not do it several times? We have sent several emails recently specifically not to do it. We even changed our welcome email to emphasize "Non Brand term bidding policy" in red."

Bjorn Rebney: No, I wasn't but it just - that's become commonplace in the relationship that we, as a company, have with Spike and with Viacom. We're really part of that family and one of the cool things about being here underneath this umbrella is that that whole family kind of works in unison. And it's not a matter of calling somebody and looking for three days to get an appointment to set up to talk to somebody.
Kevin and I talk every single day and we're texting each other back and forth and we're sending each other photos of this or that or ideas and clips and, you know, both Impact and Bellator being part of that same family, there was an ease to getting this done that having worked in this business for 25 years, I've never seen.
Dixie Carter: We talk about as often too.
Bjorn Rebney: Yes, I mean, there's a continuity in terms of the people that are existing underneath this umbrella and specifically under these two kind of preeminent sports franchises at Spike, but it wasn't nearly as tough as you would think. It was literally like working with family and/or friends to try to get something done that you all recognize could be very powerful and very explosive if you could get it done right, and literally just jumping on conference calls.
We're all in different places. We're all bouncing all over the country and the world but it was much more - it was much simpler than you would think given the size of Viacom and the size of Spike and Bellator and Impact to get this thing completed. It took a series of phone calls to put the wheels in motion and then it all just started to roll.
Dixie Carter: And it was fun.
Bjorn Rebney: Yes.
Dixie Carter: The whole process has been fun.
Kevin Sullivan: I think, you know, the question really wasn't, like, how long is it going to take? The question was how do we get this done right now? And I think the three of us asked the three of us that same question. Like, "Dixie, what do you have to do to make your part happen? Bjorn, what do you have to do to make your part happen, Kevin, what do you have to do to make your part happen?" And, you know, we were all on the same page and it was important and when it's important, it gets done fast.
Matt Bishop: Now, Dixie, obviously this is a very unique situation for your company. Has TNA already been hard at work coming up with ideas for how to use Mo?
Dixie Carter: You know, I've actually kept him a secret to almost everybody there so the answer is within the organization, no, but from Mo and I talking, you know, we've come up with quite a few ideas and he - I mean, somebody - we asked him about his (finishing move), I mean, the guy's already named his finishing move. He's got these (contests).
I mean, he's really, you know, he's a student of our sport and, you know, I think he's going to make the transition very, very quickly. I know that there is, you know, back at our headquarters and with our wrestlers who live in different countries and all over the United States, there's a lot of excited people today.
And I'm confident our fans will be too, especially when they see him come out, from the very first time he steps out on that stage, he's going to own it and it's - they're going to feel that charisma hit them like a big right-hand punch as soon as he walks out.
Matt Bishop: And lastly, for Kevin, we've established that Mo has two separate deals - one with Bellator, one with TNA, is - did Spike kick in any money to get this deal done?
Kevin Sullivan: Well, Spike funds most of this, I mean, is the answer. I mean, if you're asking did we kick in additional money it's, like, look, fund both these organizations and so we prove to be...
Kevin Sullivan: I guess you could say that. You know, we proved it and look, I've said this before, our job of this fight is to market it. Our job is to build it and it's not to make fights or tell ((inaudible)) we should do what and when. We don't do that. What we do is market and I think we're really good at it and when you look at the opportunity that ((inaudible)) to be marketed because he's a marketing machine, right, you know, we're going to have a lot of fun doing this and we are going to make him big and we're going to put - and make him big in both organizations and that's where we'll - that's actually where we'll spend the next money which is like marketing King Mo in both these organizations.
Matt Bishop: Thanks everyone.
Male: Thanks Matt.
Dixie Carter: Thanks.
Operator: We'll go next to Fred Richani with the Sports Courier.
Fred Richani: Okay, this question is for Mo. I was just wondering, without giving anything away, is there anybody in particular in TNA that you would love to work with down the road?
King Mo: The nature boy, Rick Flair. You know, I love Rick Flair. Man, he has style, swag, everything. When I was young, he used to talk about Space Mountain and I never knew what it was until I got older, you know what I'm saying? So - but I like Rick Flair, I like Sting. I like them all.
Dixie Carter: Kurt Angle, that's...
King Mo: Yes, Kurt Angle too. Yes, Kurt Angle, he's going to be get beat down. I'm playing. But I'm just happy to just be there and just work with everybody, you know. Yes, I mean, I'm at a loss for words. I just can't stop smiling when I think about it.
Dixie Carter: Yes, wish this were a video conference where you guys could see this.
Fred Richani: Yes and another question for Mo. A lot of MMA fighters ((inaudible)) little intimated to go with the pro wrestling and the (anime) route, you know, ((inaudible)) for doing it years back. How does your experience in Japan fighting first thing go to where pro wrestling and MMA are so intertwined, kind of helped you make this decision and go to this new career (avenue)?
King Mo:... (Continues on next page)

No respect for her, and she is still ugly with the nose job and stop looking like a young teeny bopper. She looks like a tramp, she got that lipo I see!

You always talk about "her mess" because her mess has gotten publicity but that doesn't make you any better than Fantasia and you best believe you got "mess" which is why you always focus on Fantasia.
There is nothing wrong with Fantasia's looks,she's cute and "Fiona The human",girl you look a little too much like a *** Muppet to even sit on your azz speaking on Fantasia....

The NBA recently announced that it is very close to canceling its season, thanks to the inability of the league and its players unions to come to financial agreements regarding contracts. For those of you that are avid followers of the NBA (may I suggest this) you know this all too well. For those of you who strictly live the G4M3RL1F3, we'll explain why the situation may be a whole lot more interesting than how the media may be portraying it.
In an nutshell, the NBA situation can be broken down to individuals of power WANTING MORE: League owners want the majority of the cut, which players believe belongs to them. What's resulted from the dispute is a Mexican stand-off where two groups of people stare at each other earning nothing, instead of working together to make something (all while vendors, parking guys, and dudes selling foam fingers search for another part time job).
But what prevents this issue from being limited to the NBA? Are union disputes and apparent greed limited to just basketball players?
It's no question that movie studios want more, worried that the rise of online channels like Hulu, Netflix, Amazon, etc may cut into their profits. This could conceivably trickle down to the actors in the same fashion that the NBA's problems fell to its players.
Is it possible that the Actors' unions could revolt in the same fashion as the NBA players? The distribution of income in the NBA is currently more visible than the payouts on the internet vis-à-vis banner advertising, promotions, and other forms of new media advertising, what's preventing the actors unions from going on strike (again)?
Could another actor's strike call for the disbanding of the union once and for all (all two of them)? The NBA players are reportedly getting the impression their union may not be working for the sake of the group, how contagious is that feeling amongst other industries that have unions operating for them in a similar fashion? If the NBA player's union were to disband, could it set off a chain reaction from the Actors…to the Teamsters and the UAW?
What is all this "union talk" really about? The world is full of talented people and interested consumers willing to invest in their talents, what the heck is the problem? Are we seeing a chronic flaw of unions – an inability to adapt and evolve with changing times?
I promised at the beginning this would mean something to those of your living the G4M3RL1F3…here's why:
While the NBA players stand at the podium looking like someone just crushed their XBOX and sound bites gather from NBA execs from coast to coast about how much shit they're NOT going to take, there's one industry that doesn't seem to be having this problem.
The video game industry.
How many stories do we hear of a popular franchise being put on hold/cancelled because the developers joined together and decided they wanted more money? Sure games will get delayed for various reasons, but many times that's based on quality concerns, how many times has a union gotten involved, intervened, and ostensibly pulled the plug?Gamers have seen some of the greatest releases in the new generation of gaming over the past several months, while industries like the NBA, Hollywood studios, and not to forget, the NFL before it, are in flux and stepping over each other for power.
How much of an example is the video game industry setting? They've been cranking out record numbers doing nothing more than having fun, enjoying what they're doing, and listening to their consumers…could the NBA or the studios take a page out of this book?
Certainly these industries possess different traits, but is it radical to assume they AREN'T AUTONOMOUS industries? What is the difference between an NBA star, a movie star, and a video game developer that could make more money than the both of them?
Are these industries engineered differently or do they just have a different way of going about their business, one without a union to "keep them in check?"
Luckily the video game industry hasn't had to answer these questions, but maybe the NBA and the movie studios should start asking them for themselves?

Editorial: Seismic day for UW, Seahawks fans
The University of Washington Huskies lost their football coach to Pac-12 rival USC, while the Seahawks won big and their fans made a record roar.
Seattle Times Editorial
UNIVERSITY of Washington football fans felt the Earth move on Monday, as the Huskies' head football coach Steve Sarkisian announced he would go to the University of Southern California.
Across town, Seattle Seahawks fans let out a first-quarter eruption that officially registered as an earthquake. The team went on to summit the NFC with a 34-7 win over New Orleans. The Seahawks also have the best record in the NFL.
The range of emotion from glum to giddy is roughly grounded in the same realm: demonstrated success.
The Seahawks are following a young quarterback to glory, which has evaded the team for nearly a decade.
Sarkisian is returning to familiar turf at USC, where he spent seven seasons learning his coaching skills. He is getting that shot because he proved he could revive a recumbent team and point it toward winning seasons.
Sarkisian leaves the Huskies after five years. In what would be his final season, he led the team to an 8-4 win-loss record, an Apple Cup victory and the possibility of a bowl appearance. Yes, that is why Dawg fans are stunned.
Howling Huskies have to remember Sarkisian took over a team with a 0-12 record. Have the grace to wish him well, and thank him for the turnaround.
He recruited well, gave the team a future and, as the way these things work, caught the eye of a team looking for help. As with the Huskies of old, three or four losses is a disaster for the Trojans.
Lots of talent is prowling the coaching sidelines, eager for a call from the Huskies. And why not? The coach might be leaving, but the talent that stays behind is exceptional.

So, at 3 gallons, or 9 pounds of salt, my softener was already 30,000 grains capacity? It sounds like the vendor gave me bad info setting the capacity to 44,000 grains.
You can remove the brine line and have the system fill into a bucket to confirm the flow rate is correct.
A gallon of water will dissolve approximately 3 pounds of salt.
The valve will usually say what is installed but these are easily changed so testing it is important if you are not sure that it is correct.
You are correct, there is a flow control button that regulates the refill rate.
Hope this helps.
So, at 3 gallons, or 9 pounds of salt, my softener was already 30,000 grains capacity? It sounds like the vendor gave me bad info setting the capacity to 44,000 grains.
Here is a set up sheet for a 1.5 Cu. Ft system, 10x54, with 6# salt per regeneration. This is a generic set-up sheet we use during assembly, you will need to set the actual hardness, and you can probably set the SF to 10 instead of 15. Set the RR to 5 minutes instead of 10.
oops, I converted the file wrong and have a minor error, not sure how to remove the attachment below, but the top one is correct.

OK, got the hardness test kit and I am only at 7 grains hardness right now. Could go a bit higher in the summer, but I'll check periodically and program a safety factor for now.
Configuration below is where I am set right now. It will definitely regenerate too soon based on current programmed hardness being too high. Will changing the hardness be reflected immediately in more gallons of capacity remaining, or does it not recalculate until the next regeneration? Right now I'm at 1856 gallons remaining, which will take me another week to use up.
I am still unclear about my capacity being set to 44,000, which I believe was a safety factor without using the percent safety factor from 48,000 for a 1.5 cu ft system. But with a 12 minute brine draw at 0.25 gal/min, which is 3 gal or 9 pounds of salt, I thought my capacity would only be 32,000.
I think I should set H to 7, C to 32,000 and separate the capacity from the safety factor by setting SF to 15.
What do you guys think?

Re-programmed as shown below. Indeed the hours remaining did increase when the hardness was decreased. But the capacity was erroneously large and it had run for a week, so I did a manual regeneration.
One thing that I don't understand is why the brine line runs dry? It is programmed to Brine Draw for 60 minutes, yet sucks up the 3 gallons of brine in less than 15 minutes. Then it sucks air. Is this why I get air bubbles out of my faucet for days after a regen?
What determines how much brine is used, the brine fill time? So it dumps in three gallons after the regen, then next time it draws until those three gallons are consumed, then sucks air?
I have a safety float and an "air check valve" in the brine tank. Is the air check valve supposed to stop it from sucking air?

Its late and I have one of my many daughters birthday party in the morning so I will answer part of your question, and I will recommend you copy my set-up sheet above, except change the hardness to 7. I tried to modify your settings as well.
The BR cycle is called by many the brine cycle, but it real name is very specific. It is "Brine and Rinse" The "brine" portion should take approximately 15-25 minutes, or approximately 1/3 of the total time. The remaining time is the "Rinse" cycle which slowly rinses the remaining salt from the resin bed. The water still flows through the injector causing suction on the brine line. The air check inside the brine tank should prevent the system from sucking air into the softener. If you here air being sucked in, you have something in the seat of the air check or it is worn. These air checks typically last for 10-20 years. String from the salt bag, a piece of paper, etc. Anything can an airleak, if you hear one, remove the aircheck and thoroughly clean it with water and check it carefully with a flashlight.
Hope this helps,
Thanks for the info. The air check valve (actually the whole system) is brand new, so I don't understand why it would fail. The brine tube is definitely full of air after it draws all the brine out, and it does sound like it is sucking air. I rinsed it out and blew it with compressed air. Hopefully that unsticks it. I could hear the valve rattle freely.
I reprogrammed DO to 30 and C to 36,000. Can you explaine the reasoning behind the increased C? I thought 1.5 cu ft with 3 gals/9 lbs was 30,000 or 32,000 grain capacity? Right now it shows I have 4,572 gallons capacity remaining, so should go for a good 3 weeks before needing a regen, so I certainly understand the reasoning behind increasing DO. I will do it manually so as to observer the air check valve function, and replace if it does it again.
On the one hand, it seems my system is slightly over-capacity. But a smaller 1 cu ft system has a pretty low service flow rate, which I thought would be inadequate under some circumstances.
Sorry, I should do my math a little more carefully when I am tired. long day here with my daughters B-day. Your salt setting is 12 minutes, x .25 gallons per minute. = 3 gallons x 3 pounds per gallon, = 9 pounds. I am doing this quickly so please check my math. 6 pounds per cu. ft. = 20000 grains x 1.5 = 30K I was thinking 8 pounds. You are correct to set it to 30K, not 36. Thanks for the catch.

No problem, thanks for all the help. I'll figure out the air check valve at the next regen and replace if necessary.
I'm 43 years old, and this is the first water softener I've ever had. Had I known what I was missing I probably would have installed one years ago. I'm glad the re-pipe and tankless water heater prompted me to take the plunge.
Excellent choice on the softener. Tankless heaters really should have softeners, not conditioners, hydromag, anti-scale, phosphate injection, etc. Just good old fsshioned softening. You can test the aircheck fairly easily. Remove it from the brine tank, clean it, and then use it as a straw. It should not allow any air to be sucked in.

John Deere has taken its line of utility vehicles up a big notch this year. The new Gator RSX850i is the first in the Gator line designed primarily for recreational purposes, with the power and agility to handle just about any terrain.
"Gators have always been known for durability, utility and safety," says David Gigandet, marketing manager, Gator utility vehicles. "The RSX maintains all these qualities at its core, but the incredible power, exhilarating speed and precision handling are what set it apart in our portfolio. It's the Gator fully evolved."
The RSX850i is available in three models: standard, sport and trail, with each offering different features for the driver's needs. Members of the media traveled from around the country to meet in Moab, Utah, this July, where John Deere unveiled the new Gators for the first time. They test-drove the Gator sport models on the rocky, rough recreational trails throughout the desert.
Need for speed
At top speeds of 53 mph and with precision handling, the Gator swiftly navigated through the trails. The Gator can reach speeds of 30 mph in just three seconds.
"It has the acceleration and the top speed these customers are looking for," Gigandet says. "The thing you've got to do when you put that kind of power and speed in a product is work on the suspension. We brought in experts to help us from IndyCar and from NASCAR to help us design the chassis."
The Fox 2.0 Performance Series shock system, along with the alloy wheels and Maxxis tires, allow the vehicle to handle multiple types of terrain – from jagged, rocky patches to sandy, flat stretches.
The Gator's 830cc, 62-hp, V-twin, liquid-cooled, four-cycle engine performs well under extreme circumstances and long days of riding. The powerful engine propels the vehicle up steep hills and around sharp turns.
Creature comforts
Body-hugging bucket seats allow for a comfortable ride, and a sport-style power steering wheel lets the driver powerfully maneuver the vehicle around curves. With 10.3 in. of ground clearance, drivers need not worry about traveling over bumpy surfaces. Large headrests keep the driver comfortable during aggressive driving.
While the new Gator was designed for recreation, it has a number of utility features for getting work done. The 8.9-cu.-ft. cargo box can haul up to 400 lbs. of gear and can be tilted for unloading purposes. Storage compartments are located under the hood, in the glove box and in the rear cargo box. The safety features exceed industry standards, keeping the driver at ease when out on the trails.
Several add-ons are available, including a stereo system, gun holders for hunting trips, extra storage units and more.
Prices start at $12,999 for the base model; $14,999 for the trail model; and $15,499 for the sport model. Visit www.johndeere.com.

This new model is definitely packed with powerful features. Since I love car racing, I mostly prefer powerful cars. So far I have attended many big and small racing events, but in my opinion Missouri racing scene is the most exciting of all.
