Chevy Blazer GMC Jimmy Maintenance and Repair
grose69 Posts: 7I have a 95 Blazer with 185000 miles on the original Vortec V-6. Lately I have noticed the engine running poorly after it gets warmed up. I just changed the plugs, wires,cap rotor and O2 sensor. None of this seems to have helped. When you first start the engine, it runs as smooth as the day it was built. After about 30 minutes, the miss starts. I have also noticed a significant drop in fuel mileage as well. Any ides?
rallan Posts: 10I have a 1998 Blazer that will not go into 4hi or 4 lo.
I can hear the relays engaging and the lights flicker but am not getting voltage to the encoder motor when 4hi or 4lo is pressed.I can disconnect the harness from the encoder and apply voltage to activate the encoder and shift into 4hi. The 4hi light is then lit but will not shift out of 4hi to 2hi without "hotwiring" the encoder.Did not try 4lo.
Tried replacing the TCCM but same problem.
The harness from the TCCM to the encoder checks out OK with an OHM meter.
Not sure what to do next. Anyone have an idea? -
20blazer00 Posts: 28well, sorry it took me so long to send this. Like you said repairdog, I got the dealer to change my fan clutch( because of the heavy blowing), That has fixed it, no more blowing, and the power has came back. I went and had them to flush cooling system and put fresh dex in it.. blazer is running great now. Next Id guess, complete tune up seeing it has 118,671 on it. And I dont have a clue if any maintence has been done.But, so far, I havent had any of the major problems yet.( maybe they have been done before I got it)( fingers,toes and hair crossed)
The only thing is I havent been able to get the 4x4 worked on yet.
One question I have is, I dnt have a clue if this has ever been done , but, at this mileage, would a transmission fluid and filter change, be good or bad for it? I've heard the horror stories about getting this done on a GM after 100,000 for the first time. And the thing burn up.
Oh,is case you forgot, I have a 2000 blazer LS 4x4 -

thesweetrosslg Posts: 28on my 97 im not sure if it was ever done befor but when i bought it with 115k i had the tranny flushed and it was great then at about 134k i had to have the 2-3 cylanoid in the tranny replace so they flushed it then droped the pan drained it replace the 2-3 downshift and then filled back up
no problems
i have 143k now -
rallan Posts: 10Under the hood there is a fuse box. In the middle row next to the relay closest to the firewall there is a 20 Amp fuse which is labeled "ATC" on the diagram. I replaced it and now my Blazer will shift in/out of 4WD just fine.
So GM uses 2 fuses for the system, one for the CPU at the fuse pannel to the side of the dash and one for the electric motor under the hood. -
lelegee Posts: 1I have a 95 chevy blazer and my turn signal and hazard lights won't come on. I went to autozone they gave me a big round plug. They said it goes under the driver side under where the pedals are. I took the panel off I did not see anything. Did they give me the wrong piece, because I looked where you said and I seen two square plugs there. which one do I need?
4whlost Posts: 1Just recently my 91 Blazer we used for fishing trips was taken on a joy-ride and then vandalized..[dash and 4-wheel indicators smashed]..I have made some basic repairs to get it mobile again,,but now the front axle wont engage..since we only use 4-low anyway,,does anyone know of a simple way to engage the front axle[I,m thinking its an electrical problem as the wiring on the selector indicator was damaged]..?

Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,197You mean just "soft but working fine" or "soft and to the floor?"
If you just feel the pedal depress a little when you start up, that's okay, that's just the power brake booster kicking in. If the brakes work fine and feel fine after that, you're okay.MODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!
jlflemmons Posts: 2,240Inside the glove box is a white label listing all the options and configuration of the vehicle when built. Look for an option like "GU6". Here are most that I know of:
Most common in the small Blazer/Jimmy 2wd is the GU6/3.42. -
johnnycage Posts: 1Hello, I have a 1996 Chevy Blazer4X4 I have had for about 4 years now with no problems. It has about 157,000 miles on it. And I never use the 4x4 option. Recently the Service Engine Soon light came on. I took it in for a free diagnostic check at a local shop. He told me the service code he got was a P1886, and has a issue with the 2-3 shift solenoid on my automatic trans. I did know the transmission had started to react very slow on the start when this light came on. And it never engages in overdrive now. Whats really odd is when I start it in the morning, or even shut if off for a few minutes. The trans shifts great. Then it slowly starts to get in the mode of high RPM to get the truck moving from a traffic light. If I manually shift from 1-2 there is no change and the engine RPM's hi. But when I go from 2-3, it is hard on the trans in shifting. The shop said the trans looks very good. But suggests a shift solenoid to be replaced. And he said he can clean out the solenoid for under a $100 dollars to see if it helps. He claims it is next to the valve body under the pan. Is this something I can do? I'm pretty handy with taking apart the car in most repairs. I believe the trans I have is a 4L60 but I am not sure. Let me know if the shop said was OK, and if possible for me to do it myself, to save the extra bucks in these hard times. Thanks Much!!
cpuhach Posts: 3i got a 95 blazer 4.3, problem is can run great then when u try to start it , it wont fire. has fuel, and spark, no ttouble codes , had to dissconnect battery or wait, then it starts right up. had it checked by Gm, cant find a problem, replaced computer still the same, any ideas? :
leoandme Posts: 7I've got a '96 Blazer 4x4, 4.3L, V-6, LS. Bought it used in '98, had 35K miles on it, and it's been pretty good to me, but it's now got a little over 100K on it, and the problems have started.
Here's my problem: Every time I start the engine, the #4 fuse (gauges) blows out, the daytime running lights go out, the dash lights go out, and it drains the battery right down in no time.
Put a new alternator in today, new spark plugs, plug wires, distributor cap and rotor, oil filter and oil changed. Apparently, none of those things helped at all, and it looks like it's an electrical problem, but I have absolutely NO idea of where to look for a short or wire damage first. Electrical is not our strong suit, but pretty handy with most other things and a quick learner.
Has anyone else had a similar problem or heard of anything like this? I would appreciate any help, because we're both stumped here and are running low on spare fuses. Please, please help! :sick: -
leoandme Posts: 7Thanks for all the help, guys, but we managed to find the problem on our own. Oddly enough (or maybe not), it was the ignition switch. I didn't think of that before because I didn't have any problems with the Blazer's starting, and it wasn't stalling, either. Nonetheless, all the weird and funky electrical/fuse-blowing problems were coming from a bad ignition switch. Just thought I'd post the solution in case anyone has/or will have a similar problem.

The family is asking for volunteers to gather at 11:00 a.m. at the Starlite Plaza on 5700 Monroe Street in Sylvania and to look for the yellow balloons. Catherine's family is asking for those who live in Sylavania and the surrounding communities to please attend.
Catherine's daughter, Lisa Blanton says "It's been a painful and difficult time in not knowing where my mother is or what has happened to her." She further states, " I'm asking the public to please help us to hang posters so that someone who may recognize my mom may come forward."
According to Cynthia Caron, President and Founder of LostNMissing Inc., "These events serve a useful purpose. It provides families with tasks to keep them involved in the search for their missing loved one and it emphasizes to the community that Catherine is still missing and her family needs their help. " She further states, "The media is also invited. We cannot stress enough the importance of keeping a missing loved one's face in the spotlight as someone, somewhere may have the needed answers that can lead to bringing Catherine home." Missing posters will be distributed so that volunteers may post in various cities and townships surrounding Sylvania to help bring awareness and possible leads. Balloons of Hope will also be released and refreshments will be provided to all who attend, at no charge.
Catherine Sackrider, 59, was last seen leaving her daughters home in Sylvania Township around 7 p.m. on September 18, 2012. She was believed to have been en route to her home in the Wall Lake area in northeast LaGrange County. Sackrider apparently never reached her destination. She was thought to be traveling SR120 in her pickup. She is 5′ 5″ tall, weighs about 160 pounds, and has brown hair and eyes. Catherine is a Sylvania native but now lives in Indiana. She was in town visiting her daughter and grandchildren. Her vehicle was discovered abandoned at Whetstone Park in Sylvania OH on Tuesday September 25, 2012. Police said they found her purse and a picture of her late husband inside the car.
"If anyone has information, no matter how insignificant, to please contact the Sylvania Twp Police Dept at (419)882-2055 , or your local police." says Caron.

In keeping with the 300-year-old Brazilian tradition of slowly roasting skewered meats over an open flame, Picanha Churrascaria overwhelms diners' appetites with never-ending servings of 15 different proteins. Throughout each meal, servers approach tables with long, sword-like skewers of top sirloin, garlic chicken, and leg of lamb, then slice freshly grilled portions directly onto plates until guests signal them to stop. Between platefuls, diners can visit the restaurant's buffet, which features more than 40 salad fixings, a spread of traditional Brazilian side dishes, and cutthroat guards that see to it that no one scoops with their hands.
You could argue that every meal at Gaucho's Village includes live entertainment—servers are constantly visiting tables with humongous skewers of meat and slicing off choice pieces with a sword-like knife. To summon such a show to your table, all you need to do is turn a small marker over to display its green side, or turn your "Bring on the Meat" t-shirt right-side out. Then, you select from an array of flame-roasted cuts, ranging from the traditional picanha, or sirloin cap, to tri-tip and filet mignon wrapped in bacon. The blazing churrasco fires backstage also cook lamb, pork, and sausage, and the menu suggests a proper wine pairing for each cut.
Though these meats have been featured on the Travel Channel's Tastiest Places to Chow Down, they aren't the only impressive spectacle at the restaurant. The real show occurs on weekends, when samba dancers and DJs rev up the always-festive atmosphere. Guests who would rather kick back than shimmy along can visit the attached lounge. There, a separate lounge menu boasts empanadas and coxinha—fried balls of chicken and cheese—as well as flavored hookah on a back patio fenced with live bamboo.
Servers hoisting skewers circulate continuously through Samba Brazilian Steakhouse, pausing tableside to carve mesquite-grilled morsels of brazilian sausage, bacon-wrapped chicken, and sirloin steak. Clusters of mod white couches stand out against glowing orange walls, which contain plenty of nooks for groups to squeeze into. Brunch hours offer a consortium of all-you-can-eat meats such as marinated beef and pork. The main course is complemented by unlimited trips to the salad- and Brazilian side dish-buffet, as well as your choice of mimosa, champagne, and sangria. At night, a chorus of smooth-limbed showgirls catalyzes the party with a slight assist from the caipirinha bar's more than 20 versions of Brazil's national cocktail.
Fusion steakhouse Kravings channels Brazilian rodizio-style cooking with an unlimited supply of fire-roasted meat served tableside. Order the rodizio special and display nondiscriminatory nibbling practices on up to 12 premium meat cuts, such as steaks, chicken, pork, and seafood, presented on giant skewers or cedar planks and carved at the table ($16.95 for lunch, $37.95–$39.95 for dinner). Unlimited helpings of flame-licked meats—including tequila-lime chicken, leg of lamb, and filet mignon wrapped in bacon—test stomach storage space, and à la carte dinner entrees, such as lamb chops seasoned with mint-chardonnay sauce ($33.95), set a finite finish on jaw calisthenics. All rodizio specials come with a side and salad buffet that purveys more than 30 mammal-free and seasonal options, including soups, salads, sushi, and smoked salmon.
Centuries ago, formally dressed gauchos—or, Brazilian cowboys—conducted festive fireside roasts, during which they'd use their swords to serve grilled meats to their guests. Today, this tradition carries on at M Grill, an authentic churrascaria restaurant. Here, expert waiters present freshly grilled and skewered meats tableside, slicing off portions for diners while it's still hot.
Upon arriving at M Grill, you needn't scan dozens of menu items to decide what to order. Instead, you pay a set price and eat to your heart's content. All you have to do is flip a card: the green side tells the waiter to keep the meat coming, and the red side indicates you're stuffed with enough protein to bench-press your date. The set price also includes M Grill's expansive salad bar, which is stocked with all sorts of fresh veggies and cheeses, as well as a hot buffet with fried yucca, beef stroganoff, and fried plantains.
In addition to skewers of meat, the restaurant also houses an impressive wine wall stocked with more than 1,500 bottles. But cocktails here are taken seriously, too. For its passionfruit caipirinha, for instance, M Grill buys passionfruit at the pinnacle of its freshness, then freezes it to use throughout the year. Recently, CBS Los Angeles also recognized the eatery's pisco sour cocktail as one of the best in the city for its frothy egg whites and hand-squeezed lime juice.
Head to Bossa Nova Brazilian Cuisine for a bite of Brazil — this mouth-watering establishment dishes out delicious barbecued meats.

Parents appreciate Bossa Nova Brazilian Cuisine's kid-friendly attitude, and little ones are often seen dining out with the adults.

Georgia-Born Mezzo Soprano on "The Olympics of Opera"
During this Fall Fund Drive, we're looking back at some of our favorite work we've brought you on City Café in recent months.
Jamie Barton is a Georgia native, a rising star in the world of opera, and this summer she became the U.S. representative in what's often referred to as "The Olympics of Opera."
The mezzo-soprano visited the WABE studios to talk with Lois Reitzes about how she spent months preparing for the Cardiff Singer of the World competition that took place in June.
She also graced us with a few vocal warm-ups.
After speaking with WABE, Jamie Barton went on to win the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World competition.
In this web bonus, Jamie tells the story of her very first time stepping onto the stage of the Metropolitan Opera, when she competed in the 2007 Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions. That competition was filmed for the Susan Fromke documentary The Audition, something Barton had no idea of at the time.

Literary Arena
Latitude celebrates the art of the written word and all its many splendid facets at Suffolks now legendary library by the sea. Like all good books, the Literary Arena will transport you to the far reaches of your imagination guided by the storytelling talents of the very best authors and special guests scheduled for the weekend. Discussions, Q&As, stories and comic genius are the order of the day for these book readings with a difference. Immerse yourself in Latitudes literary world and learn, explore, laugh and discover at the best literary event of the summer.
Latitude welcomes The School Of Life to the Sunrise Coast; bringing specially selected workshops to the Literary Salon, designed to help you live life to the full. The workshops will include How To Talk To Strangers and How To Be A Good Lover. The School of Live will also be offering Bilbliotherapy sessions which can be booked on site. The School of Life is a new social enterprise providing good ideas for everyday living. Based in a small shop in Central London, they offer a variety of programmes and services concerned with how to live wisely and well. The School of Life is a place to step back and think intelligently about everyday questions and concerns. You will be directed towards a variety of ideas - from philosophy to literature, psychology to the visual arts that tickle, exercise and expand your mind. A haven for the curious, sociable and open-minded, The School Of Life is an emporium of emotions, a bazaar of bibliotherapy, a convenience store of concepts, a trading post of triumphant philosophies. Fellow Literary Arena performer Geoff Dyer declared At a stroke the phrase too cool for school has been rendered obsolete.
Would Latitude be the same without the utterly brilliant Robin Inces Book Club? The magnificent mayhem of Robin Ince and his unique literary comic genius brings both good and bad books to life. The legendary Book Club of comics writers and performers will tell stories and bring you readings accompanied appropriately by saccharine and sublime soundtracks; a fantastic concept in wisecracking wit and literary lunacy.
Joining Robin Ince for Latitude this year are: comedy genius Stewart Lee; craft-loving, if.comedy award-winner Josie Long; Guardians Bad Science columnist and funny man Ben Goldacre; master of comedy characters Jo Neary; stand-up and improv legend Michael Legge, Dublin writer and stand-up performer Johnny Candon; multi-award winner Peter Buckley Hill; the young quick-witted Luke Roberts; film and comic book buff Rich Sandling and cult singer-songwriter and guitarist, Robyn Hitchcock.

Controversy is shrouding Julie Myersons latest book The Lost Child an autobiographical tale of Myerson's decision to lock her 17-year-old son Jake out of the family home over his use of skunk cannabis. Her narrative puts forward the many questions and moral dilemmas that face an ever increasing number of families who are dealing with drug abuse and addiction and her reading at Latitude will no doubt bring many of these issues and debates to some lively discussions. Her other novels have received wide acclaim, such as Something Might Happen a story of murder in a Suffolk seaside town which was shortlisted for the WH Smith Literary Award.
With a truly original voice, renowned novelist and short story writer Tibor Fischer brings his fantastically surreal story Good To Be God to life with readings from this, his latest book.

Join in his expedition and discover just what it is that lurks at the centre of this great nation.
Stand-up comic and celebrated crime writer, Mark Billingham brings his latest gripping thriller to Latitude. Billingham has created a best-selling series of intense crime novels featuring London-based detective Tom Thorne. The second novel in the series, Scaredy Cat (2002) won the Sherlock Award for Best Detective Novel Created by a UK Author, and was also nominated for the Crime Writers Association Gold Dagger for Best Crime Novel of the Year; and the fifth, Lifeless (2005) was nominated for BCA Crime Thriller of the Year Award in 2006.

Famed for forming The Auteurs and later Black Box Recorder, Luke Haines was a prominent figure in the Britpop era of the early/mid nineties and is often quoted as believing The Auteurs debut was responsible for starting the Britpop movement.

Your dog might look adorable when he's gnawing on his favorite chew toy, but the cuteness factor drops away pretty fast as soon as you realize he's munching on your best shoes or the leg of your dining room table. Chewing comes as naturally to dogs as breathing does to people. In fact, chomping away on dog bones and rawhide contributes to dogs' mental and dental health. Chews let dogs work off energy and anxiety while keeping them from growing bored and going after your not-for-chewing possessions. That's why it's so important to give your dog the right kind of dog chews and dog bones that will keep him happy by enriching his life and catering to his natural desire to chew.
Petco.com features a wide variety of dog chews, dog bones, and rawhide to suit the chewing needs of your particular dog. Shop for rawhide, bones, bully sticks, antlers, jerky, and tendons, just to name some of the popular chew materials. Chews come in all sorts of flavors from ham and cheese to peanut butter. Whether your dog loves chips, sticks, springs or knots, you'll be able to find the best treat for your four-legged friend. You can also try out plenty of dental chews that are essential for keeping your dog's dental hygiene up to snuff. Your dog will have his own needs and preferences when it comes to rawhide and chew types, so this way you'll have a range of options to keep your dog in chew heaven.
Every dog has his own quirks when it comes to chew choice. Your dog may be an avid chewer, limited because of his jaw size, or still growing through those tough puppy teething months. That's why petco.com's selection of dog chews and bones includes options for dogs with all sorts of particular needs. You can find knee caps for smaller dogs, meaty knuckles for bigger dogs, ham bones for chew-a-holics, and a whole line of puppy chews designed to encourage and strengthen your pup's growing jaws and teeth.

- halloysite;
- inhibitors;
- nanotubes
Halloysite particles are aluminum-silicate hollow cylinders with a length of 0.5–1 µm, an outer diameter of ca. 50 nm and a lumen of 15 nm. These nanotubes are used for loading and sustained release of corrosion inhibitors. The inhibitor is kept inside the particles infinitely long under dry conditions. Here, halloysite nanotubes filled with anticorrosive agents are embedded into a SiOx–ZrOx hybrid film. An aluminum plate is dip-coated and immersed into 0.1 M sodium chloride aqueous solution for corrosion tests. A defect in the sol–gel coating induces pitting corrosion on the metal accompanied by a strong anodic activity. The inhibitor is released within one hour from halloysite nanotubes at corrosion spots and suppresses the corrosion process. The anodic activity is successfully restrained and the protection remains for a long time period of immersion in NaCl water solution. The self-healing effect of the sol–gel coating doped with inhibitor-loaded halloysite nanotubes is demonstrated in situ via scanning vibrating electrode technique measurements.

I love this recipe. I added spinach because I'm not much of a salad eater and it's a sneaky little way to get an extra serving of my veggies for the day. Believe it or not... you can't taste the spinach or even tell it's in there. I make a large batch all at once and save some in the fridge. I haven't tried it yet, but I bet you could also freeze them like a fruit pop. Submitted by PINKSEATURTLES Carbs: 24.5g | Fat: 0.4g | Fiber: 4.8g | Protein: 2.4g | Calories: 102.9

Since CRBC's founding in 2000, there has been much activity and progress building cycling facilities regionwide. We took notice that much of that activity has been happening in Ferguson Township. Blue Course Drive, Science Park, Gatesburg Rd,Foxpointe/Autumnwood and now Havershire are just a few of paths that have been opened in the last few years. Preliminary results of our recent poll indicates that they are among the most used paths in the area.Elliot Killian receives OBA award from President Jim Serene and ex comm board member Paul Rito Ferguson's consideration of cyclists and pedestrians when new developments or new or rehab street projects are proposed is unmatched in the area. There is one reason for that: connectivity. While there are paths here and paths there what sets Ferguson apart is the connectivity. One can ride over 15 miles almost exclusively on off-street paths just in Ferguson Twp. If you include low traffic roads and on-street paths, that mileage increases significantly. They have been extraordinarily responsive to our requests for path maintenance, and the recent improvements on Whitehall Rd both by PennDOT and Ferguson have added a level of safety that has been desperately needed in that corridor. It is well appreciated, as it adds to the safety of all road users, motorists included. Ferguson's planning and execution are a model that the other communities in the area should strive to match. The icing on the cake was the recent announcement that 4 more paths will be maintained in Winter. Without winter maintenance, the network cannot be reliably used for 1/3 or more of the year.
In recognition of outstanding dedication and commitment to making the Centre Region a better place to bicycle we recognize Ferguson Township's contributions with our Outstanding Bicycling Advocate award.
Ferguson joins previous awardees Trish Meek of the Centre Region Council of Governments (2011), and Tom Remick of College Township (2013).
Summary of Oct 4th Ride with Mayor Goreham
Hi All,
Saturday morning began with a few rain sprinkles and a cool breeze, however that did not deter an enthusiastic group from enjoying a 7-mile ride through town with the State College Mayor, Elizabeth Goreham. Participants included CRBC members, school officials, a bike police officer, members of SCCC and Penn State Bicycle Club, and folks from the community.
After the ride, we enjoyed coffee & bagels in the Sidney FriedmanParklet and shared stories with the Mayor and her husband, Dr. Jack Matson. In spite of the weather, the event was a success and everyone had a good time. Mayor Goreham stated she's looking forward to another similar ride next Fall.
So, why ride with the Mayor? In a recent edition of American Bicyclist magazine, there's an article about Betsy Price, the Mayor of Fort Worth, Texas. Mayor Price has made it her goal to spearhead "a citywide initiative focused on promoting active lifestyles and healthy habits". Mayor Price is a big supporter of bicycling as a form of alternative transportation, and is leading the charge to improve bicycling infrastructure, safety, and community acceptance. Under her tenure, the city has added miles of bike lanes, and dedicated $1.2 million for trails and signature events for cycling. She is convinced that improved bicycling is good for community economic development.
We are fortunate to have a Mayor who is supportive of our bicycle community. However, she will need our support when it comes to convincing other officials that improvements and events for bicyclists are worthy of government time and money. Only a strong bicycle organization like CRBC (which may soon be known as "CentreBike"), can make that happen. If you're a current member of CRBC, thank you. If not, please consider joining today and help to support a more cycle-friendly Centre Region.
Hope to see you at our next event…
Jim Serene
President, CRBC
A voice for ALL cyclists in the Centre Region!
We would appreciate your comments and suggestions regarding changing the name of the Centre Region Bicycle Coalition (CRBC). At last week's CRBC meeting it was agreed that a shorter more contemporary name would be more appealing and help to attract new membership. Reasons discussed in considering a name change included:Â
After much discussion around possible names, it was suggested that we simply use our website address as the new name –CentreBike.org. There has been a very positive response to this logical suggestion, however we would like to hear additional input before the name change is put to a vote at the next meeting in October.
Please be assured that changing the name will not change the mission and goals of the organization. We will continue to be the "voice of slow and fast bicyclists for safe connected bike routes".
Thank you for your consideration,
Joan Potter
Centre Region Bicycle Coalition

Many thanks to Dr. Melissa Bopp for attending Wednesday's CRBC meeting and presenting her findings from recent studies about active travel in Centre County. Melissa is a researcher in Penn State's Department of Kinesiology. She discussed some of the significant influences on biking for transportation in our community and also examined some of the economic implications of active travel in downtown State College.

Medal record
Lynnette Pamela Watson (born 22 November 1952), known after marriage as Lynne Bates, is an Australian former backstroke swimmer of the 1960s, who won a silver medal in the 4x100m medley relay at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics, narrowly missing two more medals.
Coming from Western Australia, Watson combined with Janet Steinbeck, Lyn McClements and Judy Playfair to register a silver medal in the 4x100m medley relay, trailing the Americans home by 1.7s. Competing in the individual 100m freestyle, Watson was eliminated in the semifinals. She placed sixth and fourth in the 100m and 200m backstroke respectively. She also finished fourth as part of the 4x100m freestyle relay team. Two years later at the 1970 Commonwealth Games, Watson won four gold medals in both backstroke events and in the 4x100m freestyle and medley relays, as well as a silver in the 100m freestyle. She later became a team administrator for Australia at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.

Can We Stop the Ban on Russian 7N6 5.45×39?
In 1993, Olympic Arms created what they claim was only a prototype of an AR-15 pistol chambered in 7.62x39mm, the model OA-93. When word got out they were developing the pistol, the gun community was quick to tell them to stop. While at the 1994 SHOT Show, Olympic Arms unveiled the pistol. Olympic Arms was quick to claim the company was not "in the ammunition business and unaware of a problem." Very shortly after, the ATF banned the importation of steel core 7.62x39mm ammunition.
Another controversial company came under fire in July of 2011—Elite Ammunition. The ATF paid a visit to this ammunitions company, the only other company—at the time—producing 5.7x28mm ammo. The company's products, machines and computers were confiscated. Elite Ammunition, making bullets very similar to Barnes' solid copper bullets, told by the ATF its .223 Remington, 6.5 Grendel and 6.8 SPC bullets classified as armor piercing. Because of this raid, the Barnes .223 caliber non-hollow point Banded Solid bullet is still unavailable. While Barnes is currently still awaiting approval for exemptions on many of its caliber bullets, they are not seeking an exemption for the .223—clearly marked an armor piercing round by the ATF because of its construction.
Since 1986, the ATF has defined armor piercing ammunition as "a projectile or projectile core which may be used in a handgun and which is constructed entirely (excluding the presence of traces of other substances) from one or a combination of tungsten alloys, steel, iron, brass, bronze, beryllium copper, or depleted uranium" or "a full jacketed projectile larger than .22 caliber designed and intended for use in a handgun and whose jacket has a weight of more than 25 percent of the total weight of the projectile."
This is where the rules regarding armor piercing ammunition gets very convoluted. Six months after the raid on Elite Ammunition, the Bureau started accepting public comments regarding the possibility of relaxing the agency's definition of armor piercing ammunition. If the attorney general finds bullets mainly used for sporting purposes, that round may be exempt from the ban, such as the case of certain 5.56 NATO rounds.
Further, regular folks can purchase, sell, own and shoot armor piercing ammo, but an FFL holder may not. Nor may armor-piercing ammunition be imported. PA Gun blog writer "Sebastian," wrote in 2007, "The regulation on armor piercing ammo are among the strangest of the federal firearms regulations."
Around March 25, 2014, an unconfirmed story broke that the BATFE had banned any further imports on steel core 5.45×39 ammo, not because of the politics and sanctions surrounding Russia, but because someone made a handgun for the round, automatically qualifying 5.45x39mm 7N6 as "armor piercing."
If the ban actually happens, for those of you who love your Krink or AK-74 because of the availability of super cheap Russian ammo, we can now expect prices on U.S. made non-steel core 5.45x39mm to match or even exceed 5.56mm.
Apparently, there is no official word yet—that I can find—from BATFE that there is a ban. The gun blogger who broke the story, received information from an ammunition importer who's Form 6 went unapproved. After inquiring about the delay, the importer reportedly got back a letter from the ATF stating the ammo had been banned. A photo of the letter posted on The Bang Switch, the Military Arms Channel's blog reads, "A handgun has now been manufactured that chambers the 5.45×39 round. That now makes steel core 5.45×39 armor piercing under our definition."
Rumor has it since there is no official ruling yet, an exemption is still possible for the 5.45×39. Allegedly, even Arizona Congressman Matt Salmon is demanding answers from the ATF.
We might be able to save 7N6!
I am joining the Bang Switch's fight and asking you, the firearms community to do the same. Contact your representatives and tell them how 7N6 5.45 is a sporting cartridge and the ban needs reversing.
For help contacting your representatives, formatting a letter and to learn more about this story, read "A Time to Fight" in the Cheaper Than Dirt's forums.

Given the revanchist foreign policy of Russia, I'd think that American shooters would rather buy US ammo than giving money to Putin and his puppets in Serbia and Luhansk.
isn't the 7n6 bullet exactly a 22 caliber? I thought the rules specifically stated that an armor piercing round must be over a 22cal
Right Nathan,
The BATFE is intentionally misinterpreting the law, using circular logic.
They are claiming that if someone, somwhere in the world, makes a firearm, which they consider to be a handgun, which is capable of firing the round, that the ammunition is retroactively an magically converted from rifle ammunition to handgun ammunition. However, the bullet in question is not a solid bullet made of one of the specified alloys.
Exactly my point. The ATF is intentionally violating Supreme Court Precedent in maliciously misinterpreting the wording of the law, contrary to the legislative intent.
I believe that they are claiming that the term"Projectice core" refers to the steel core inside the bullet, as opposed to the legislative intent to refer to the "Projectile Core" as the metal portion of a Teflon coated, solid bullet, like the KTW. That is why the subsequent section specifically mentions a full jacketed projectile.-
Remember that these are the same weasels, who declared a shoelace to be a machinegun.
Biff Sarin
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but doesn't essentially ALL 5.56 ammo, even the tiny 55gr XM-193 copper jacketed Ball, penetrate 3A soft armor…even when fired out of a 7″ barrel? Aren't AR-15 pistols still legal? Aren't XM-855 'penetrator' steel core rounds still perfectly legal?
So what is with this weird 'selective enforcement' BS? Or is this just a 'nose of the camel' kind of thing? You know, "let's start by trying to ban THIS round and see how much push back we get. Then we'll ban THAT round, etc., etc…"
The law in question was passed to ban the importation of pistol ammunition designed to penetrate metal car bodies and laminated glass. It has nothing to do with body armor or rifle ammunition of any kind. 9mm KTW Teflon coated ammunition, fired from a 12″ sub-machinegun barrel does not penetrate level 3a armor.
Biff Sarin
Right, the law was designed to ban the importation of PISTOL AP ammo. My point is, non of these rounds, the 7.62x39mm, 5.45x39mm, or the 5.56x45mm were DESIGNED as pistol ammunition.
From the ATF website:
Under Title 18, UNITED STATES CODE, CHAPTER 44 as amended by Public Law 103-322
The Violent Crime and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (enacted September 13, 1994) 18 U.S.C. CHAPTER 44 § 921(a)(17)(B) the term 'armor piercing ammunition' means —(i) a projectile or projectile core which may be used in a HANDGUN and which is CONSTRUCTED ENTIRELY (excluding the presence of traces of other substances) from one or a combination of tungsten alloys, steel, iron, brass, bronze, beryllium copper, or depleted uranium; or
(ii) a full jacketed projectile larger than .22 caliber DESIGNED AND INTENDED for use in a HANDGUN and whose jacket has a weight of more than 25 percent of the total weight of the projectile.
The problem I have is two fold.
First, the 7N6 round has far more than 'trace' amounts of lead in the projectile.
Second, this round (along with the others mentioned) was NOT DESIGNED for use in a handgun. It is a rifle round for which someone built a handgun to accept. If the first type of weapon designed specifically for a given round is widely accepted to be a rifle, then it seems to me, that round can not be classified as "DESIGNED AND INTENDED for use in a HANDGUN".
Going Panther
Biff, I think you hit the nail on the head…this is just the start
Hide Behind
The callousness of Olympic Arms when they deliberately produced the pistol; That and every person That I know or had dealings within their firms or affilited with that firm are and have always been pricks with a small p.
A yuppy management of rip off that right fit in with the Olympia Washington two faced Liberals in power.
Yes the rounds have now been banned, from import but sources say some few hundreds of thousands sit warehoused and holders wondering if they can sell existing sock.
If the are allowed to it will be damned spendy but most likely no diffrent than when aquaintence and friends 1, 500, 000 of Chinese steel core was banned and confiscated at no cost to feds. That 7.62×39 steel will not penetrate our military body armor never could. Even at confiscation, 0police lt kevlar yes but then so did 357 125 gr silver tips.
it is almost end of foreign imports except for those nations aiding our Empire from them we get crap ammo excep pmc. -

It's no longer a maybe, the official ATF letter was posted a few days ago. Go check GD at ARFCOM.

With Windows 10, Microsoft could move to a subscription-based model December 9, 2014 at 11:40 am
Microsoft has indicated that Windows 10, which will be released next year, could move towards a subscription-based model. Instead of going the usual route and buying a perpetual Windows 10 license for $50 to $200, you would instead pay a few dollars per month — and then, as with most subscriptions, you'd get free upgrades when major new versions of Windows come along. Another option might be that you get a basic version of Windows 10 for free, but a subscription would unlock more advanced features.
Sony reveals PlayStation Vue, a multi-platform cloud-based TV service November 13, 2014 at 11:43 am
Sony's PlayStation 4 is enjoying a successful first year, flipping the PS3's dismal launch script around. While the PS4 is enjoying more success than the PS3 did, the PS3 still has one distinct advantage over its descendent: media playback. With PlayStation Vue, a cloud-based TV streaming service, Sony aims to close that media gap.
You can now stream Photoshop to your Chromebook: A huge win for Google September 29, 2014 at 2:26 pm
In a somewhat surprising move, Adobe and Google have announced a streaming version of Photoshop for Chromebooks (Chrome OS) and the Chrome browser. This is potentially massive news for Chromebooks, as the lack of Big Software — those big, killer software suites for Mac and Windows — has always been a thorn in the side of Chrome OS's attempted takedown of Microsoft and Apple's domination of the laptop market.
Google invests in 60-terabit $300-million trans-Pacific cable to protect its growth in Asia August 12, 2014 at 10:18 am
Google has joined forces with a number of Asian telecoms giants to deploy the world's fastest trans-Pacific submarine cable. The cable, which is lumbered with the rather unimaginative name "Faster", will have an initial capacity of 60 terabits per second. Faster (it's not even an acronym!) will provide an important high-speed link from the west coast of the US to landing points in Japan, and then on to rapidly growing markets in China, India, Indonesia, and other Asian countries. The cable will be deployed by NEC at a total cost of $300 million.
Seagate starts shipping 8TB hard drives, with 10TB and HAMR on the horizon July 21, 2014 at 11:17 am
Seagate, after hinting in May that it would release 8TB and 10TB hard drives in the next 12 months, has started delivering early samples of its 8TB hard drive to "major customers" (i.e. enterprise customers). Curiously, while Western Digital hit 6TB last year by filling its drives with helium, Seagate appears to be pushing the 3.5-inch spinning disk storage envelope by simply increasing areal density. Western Digital, incidentally, despite being the first to 6TB, hasn't announced anything new since November 2013. Maybe helium wasn't quite ready for prime time?
Amazon launches cut-price Dropbox competitor Zocalo, takes a page from Microsoft's monopolistic playbook July 11, 2014 at 8:06 am
Amazon, after years of letting Dropbox ride its cloud storage coattails, is finally launching its own cloud storage and sharing service: Zocalo. Priced at just $5 per month for 200GB of storage, the oddly named Zocalo is about a third of the price of Dropbox. With the ability to annotate documents and integrate with your IT dept's corporate directory, Zocalo is also going after Google Drive/Docs. This approach of imitating an existing product, but then attempting to do it bigger and better, is straight out of Microsoft's 1990s heyday playbook. (And both Bezos and Gates live in Seattle, hmm…)
Microsoft shakes things up yet again, will now focus on mobile and cloud – not devices and services July 10, 2014 at 1:32 pm
Microsoft's new CEO, just 12 months after Steve Ballmer declared that Microsoft was a "devices and services" company, is changing the behemoth's course yet again. Starting from fiscal year (FY) 2015 — i.e. today — Microsoft is now all about mobile and cloud. In a letter that was emailed to Microsoft employees today, Nadella gushes forth with incredibly bold statements that try to define what he wants the company to be, and attempts to outline the extraordinary measures that must now be undertaken to actually get the company there.

How Dropbox knows you're a dirty pirate, and why you shouldn't use cloud storage to share copyrighted files March 31, 2014 at 2:07 pm
Over the weekend, it emerged that Dropbox has the ability to stop you from publicly or privately sharing copyrighted content — in other words, Dropbox has a system in place that prevents piracy. At first, this sounds rather sensible, but when you think about it some more, your assent slowly turns to outrage as you realize that Dropbox must be scanning all of your files, and working with copyright holders, to put a stop to your dirty pirating ways.
Titanfall released to excellent reviews, but plagued by low 792p resolution and server issues March 11, 2014 at 8:00 am
The hotly anticipated Xbox One exclusive Titanfall has only been available for a few hours, and yet the baying Twitter hordes have already dubbed it #Titanfail, thanks to server issues early this morning. We wouldn't be surprised if there are more server issues later today as millions (or at least thousands) of Americans install the game that, if some reviewers are to be believed, will thrust the Xbox One back into contention against the PS4. Let's take a closer look at the first Titanfall reviews, the swirling controversy around its low 792p resolution, and whether the server outage this morning is a sign of things to come.

In most cases signs of miscarriage will appear in the first trimester. The common belief is that if a woman makes it through the first trimester she is safe with a small chance of miscarriage. This does not mean miscarriage will not occur later in pregnancy. Signs of miscarriage in the second trimester may include some of the early signs of miscarriage, but there are a few that are specific to late stage miscarriage.
Early and Late Signs of Miscarriage
When miscarriage occurs during pregnancy, there are some symptoms that present in both early and late miscarriage. These signs of miscarriage include bleeding and cramping. Spotting may occur in the early months of pregnancy, but by the second trimester, the cervix is closed and no spotting should occur. In the latter part of the second trimester, cramping can occur as Braxton Hicks contractions. The uterus must prepare for childbirth so mild cramping is not normally something to worry about, but should be reported to the attending obstetrician.
Other signs of miscarriage that are common in the first and second trimester include lower back pain, pain in the abdomen and pressure in the area of the uterus. These symptoms are similar to those of labor.
Second Trimester Specific Signs of Miscarriage
By the second trimester, the membranes protecting baby are in place. If a woman feels fluid leaking from the vagina or her bag of waters ruptures, this is a clear sign of miscarriage or early labor. It may not be a gush of fluid as is represented in Hollywood movies. Instead, women more commonly feel just a small trickle of fluid similar to urination. If any tissue or grayish material is passed, collect it and immediately take the tissue to the hospital.
Missing Heart Beat - Missed Abortion
If the doctor cannot find a heart beat in the second trimester during a regular doctor's visit or as part of an emergency visit it could be one of the signs of miscarriage. At times, the heart beat can be difficult to find with a Doppler hand held unit, but an ultrasound will verify the missing heart beat.
Recognizing the signs of miscarriage in the second trimester is important for the health of the pregnant woman. Many of these symptoms will appear after the fetus has stopped growing and thus there is no medical intervention that can be done to save the pregnancy. Doctors will often perform a medical procedure to remove the fetus if the signs of miscarriage lead to a diagnosis of miscarriage.
