British MPs begin their 12-week summer break today. They may feel that they deserve it after what most of them see as the most gruelling parliamentary sessions that even the most long-serving of them can remember. The scandals over MPs' expenses have delivered a series of severe blows to the psyches of our parliamentarians. But they should not make the mistake of assuming that it is over now.
They have been careful to be modest in their destinations. Few are announcing trips to the Caribbean or Seychelles. More modest holiday spots are in vogue – France, Spain, Italy, Greece, Ireland and Scotland – the kind of places preferred by the average voter who gets only four weeks of holiday a year. The Prime Minister, once a regular summer visitor to the United States, is setting the tone with a jaunt to the Lake District.
But politicians are wary that, as David Cameron (Greece and Brittany) puts it, the long summer break may bring Parliament into disrepute. That could be more than a round of media stories about lazy MPs sunning themselves at taxpayers' expense while the rest of the nation struggles with recession. Some of them have tried to get their retaliation in first by pointing out that 57 days of the 82-day recess are supposed to be working days in which they dedicate themselves to the constituency matters to which they have been too busy to attend during the parliamentary session. A recess is not a holiday, they point out.
They should be careful not to misjudge the public mood. There is more to this than the rather juvenile antics of a new campaign group which has set up an MP Holiday Watch asking people to send in reports of MPs at work and at play to uncover how much time they spend on the beach, or undertaking second jobs, and how much time they devote to constituency work. The problem goes well beyond suspicion of the venality of a few expense-scamming, holiday-skiving individuals.
Public disenchantment with politics has plumbed a new depth. Trust in politicians is at its lowest on record. The more time MPs spend with constituents over the summer the more they will realise the extent to which engagement with the very political process has fallen into disrepute.
Analysing the problem, however, is far easier than coming up with a solution. Writing here about the need for constitutional reform yesterday, we called for changes to the voting system, a stronger and more independent parliamentary select committee system, reforms to the second chamber and a greater devolution of power to communities. But that alone will not be enough.
There is need today for a psychological or cultural shift too. It is interesting that opinion polls show low levels of satisfaction with the work of local councils even though the Audit Commission suggests that they are doing a good job. More revealingly, almost three in four members of the public admit that they have little idea of what their council is doing – and yet they are happy to proclaim themselves dissatisfied with it.
A powerful disconnect has occurred. It is not powered by mere facts nor by the detail of MPs' misdemeanours, much of which is far more trivial than the resulting public outrage ought to warrant. Our MPs need to spend their holidays wondering why the British public is rejecting the political process – and ask themselves what can be done about it. Otherwise, at the end of their long summer break, voters might start saying: we have done without them for this long, do we really need them all back?

According To The Republican Elite, The GOP Needs To…
….give up on being pro-life to appeal to single women.
….support amnesty for illegal aliens to appeal to Hispanics.
….stop trying to cut spending to appeal to the middle class.
….register guns to appease the gun control fanatics.
….legalize marijuana and support gay marriage to appeal to younger voters.
….give up on having a strong defense to appeal to Libertarians.
If we did all of that, essentially the GOP would be a center-left party up against a far left wing Democratic Party, fighting to determine how far to the Left the country goes.
Besides, selling out the people who put you into office is a loser's game because every vote you gain from doing it, you lose because disgruntled former supporters stay home. So here's an alternate idea: Instead of giving up on everything we believe in to pander to different groups that STILL probably aren't going to vote for us, why don't we try improving our message, doing some real outreach, and freshening up our agenda?

Writer / Editor / Scholar
United States - Last active: 19 hours ago - Tests: 7 - Portfolio: 8
Graduating from North Carolina State University with B.A. degrees in History and Anthropology significantly honed my abilities as a wordsmith, providing me with the instruments to write on any topic matter in a myriad of settings. This program of study taught me to manage my time effectively, organize my schedule cohesively and submit assignments expediently. A rigorous writing regimen trained me in the fine details of the English language, resulting in a deep understanding of editing for diction, grammar, spelling, subject / verb agreement, syntax and tone. In addition, I spent two years in Computer Science, so I am well versed in computer competency, including a proficiency with Wordpress, Microsoft Office Suite, XML, HTML, CSS, Visual Basic, Java, PHP and UNIX, among other aspects. This interweaving of skills dovetails nicely together to generate a unique approach to writing, whereas other applicants may predictably adopt a singular perspective. For example, all of my pieces are written with keyword density and SEO standards in mind to produce more page views. I am seeking an opportunity to write or edit content for a blog, e-book, project or website, in order to implement my adeptness as a researcher, contribute a bohemian-inspired commentary and supply potential employers with hand-crafted, specialized and adroitly fashioned texts meeting their specific requirements.

"As-salt-ed" by Tom's lack of proof reading!,
By Mc Blades "Domestic God" (Canterbury, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tom Kerridge's Proper Pub Food (Hardcover)
Tom, have you actually tried cooking any of your recipes from this book using the weights and measures you have written down?
a 25% brine for salt beef is far too high and will make for an unpalatable cure, assuming you survive the dangerously high concentration of saltpetre!! 50g is enough for 2 gals of brine and way over the EC limits for curing meats. The book is littered with proofing errors, most notably in the amount of salt used in the cures. Both the pork belly and chicken in a basket recipes use a 50% brine. This is not only far too salty for a brine but also impossible to dissolve (salt saturates at about 35% w/v in boiling water!!! I am a big fan of Tom Kerridge's style of food but with recipes like these he will disappoint a lot of people which is a shame. One last tip, assuming you survived your salt beef sandwich, if you make the shoulder of lamb on pomme boulangere use a leg instead. I tried with shoulder that I boned out and removed as much fat from as possible. The potatos were still swimming in grease when the lamb was cooked. Leg is a lot les fatty and should work just as well for a slow cooked joint (I prefer it butterflied on a BBQ). In short Tom, you MUST check your work, especially when potentially toxic nitrates are used (use safer nitrites instead bought as an all in one cure or get 1g accurate scales and make sure you use a recipe from a reliable source!!). Update - 12/11/2013 Absolute Press, the publishers of this book, have now published an errata relating to the salt and saltpetre quantities used in the salt-beef, belly pork and fried chicken recipes (essentially reducing the salt quantities from 500g to 200g). The publisher also state that later editions of the book will incorporate these changes. This is good news for those who have yet to try the recipes. For my tastes (and I like salty foods) I would reduce the salt level in the brines to no more than 10% (ie 100g/l) but his is just my opinion. The level of saltpetre has also been reduced to a less toxic level. However, these days, saltpetre is really only needed for long slow cured meats like salami that will be held in a cool, dry environment (<10C) where the microbes required for the nitrate/nitrite conversion can do their job). In the fridge, this conversion is less certain. If making saltbeef (or bacon etc.) Do yourself a favour and use prague powder #1 (a widely available safer mixture of sodium nitrite and salt) in the cure instead of the saltpetre, along with Toms herbs, sugar etc. You'll get The same flavour in less time and without the uncertainty of the nitrate levels. There are still errors to be found in the book (eg the batter recipe for the fish and chips) but none that are likely to completely ruin the dish so effectively as the salting errors. [...]

Enough is enough,
This review is from: Tom Kerridge's Proper Pub Food (Hardcover)
This is a great book...until you actually try the recipes. The book has good photography: If you're the type of person who buys a recipe book, leafs through it, looking at the pictures, then puts it on your shelf, intending to one day doing some of the recipes, but never getting round to it, then this is a good book for you. The myriad of typographical errors in the recipes have been much discussed, such as the insanely-salty pork and chicken, the toxic salt beef, the fish batter that doesn't work, etc., so I will not discuss them further, suffice to say it is simply not good enough. But, even when using the correct amounts of, e.g. salt and sugar, I still have found the resulting dishes to be barely edible. I tried the trout with orange and thyme. It was revolting. Half a tablespoon each of lemon thyme and fennel seeds per person? Really? Only by scraping off all of the dressing was I able to eat the fish. I tried the pollack with chickpeas and chorizo. The resulting dish was so salty, as to be barely edible. And yes, I did thoroughly wash the salt off the fish before cooking it. You see, I always thought that the purpose of a recipe book was to print recipes of dishes that were actually palatable. I tried the pork belly, deftly using the correct brine (200g salt and 150g sugar in 1 litre of water). It was okay. Following the recipe to the letter, the resulting dish was at least edible. It was poor, though - still a bit too salty, a bit sweet, a bit chewy. Not tender at all. Probably the worst pork dish I've ever cooked.
Many recipes ask for expensive or hard to find ingredients, as other reviews have mentioned. I wasn't prepared to use an entire bottle of red wine for the shin of beef, but I did try the carrots. You cook them in water, butter and sugar. I found the resulting carrots no longer tasted of carrots, but just had a nondescript, sugary flavour. So, enough is enough, really. The book will now go for recycling. I'm a bit dismayed by the number of positive reviews for this book. If you read them carefully, it seems that mostly the reviewers haven't even cooked any of the recipes. I think that people give positive reviews because it has nice pictures and Tom Kerridge is a nice guy. Goodnight. (I love you all.)

More accessible than you might expect...,
By AbsoluteSpirit (NW England, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tom Kerridge's Proper Pub Food (Hardcover)
Great cookbook full of interesting recipes and nowhere near as difficult for a half competant cook to source & make as some reviews would have you believe. Aside from some of the errors mentioned elsewhere it's a cut above a large number of cookbooks but without requiring a huge amount of kitchen machinery or specialised gear...

Proper pub food???,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Tom Kerridge's Proper Pub Food (Hardcover)
Brought this as a present for my husband who wants to get into doing a bit of cooking and had watched Tom Kerridge on a cookery programme before he went on to win it and then made his own programme. These are my opinions and not my husbands who has yet to make a recipe from the book so I may come back and change my comment once he has, but I think some of the recipes look a bit complicated and overworked and include a lot of ingredients that you would probably not find at your local Tesco or Sainsburys. I would not have thought that some of the recipes should be included on a boom called Pub Food but more suitable for Fine Dining.

Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Tom Kerridge's Proper Pub Food (Hardcover)
Tom Kerridge is one of the regular chefs on of the Great British Menu, he has two Michelin stars and runs a pub restaurant where you can buy a set piece lunch for under 20 quid. I like his food and his attitude to cooking, especially the way he has managed to elevate pub-grub to such a level yet still make the food accessible to people who enjoy cooking and wish to reproduce his recipes. This book contains 130 recipes and I could easily eat every one of them, including crispy pigs ears; the recipes are clearly explained and relatively straightforward to follow. The book is divided into 6 main sections, Breakfasts, Soups and Salads, Starters and Snacks, Fish, Meat and puddings with a section on basics for sauces, curry powder mix, pickle mix, Soda Bread and Mulled Cider. The photography is good, although not every recipe has its own photograph, you still get enough to show you what the dishes should look like on the plate. The recipes are interesting and tempting and Tom wastes very little, making good use of all the ingredients especially from pork. Some of the recipes are close to the up-market street food that is currently popular and he has managed, with expertise and panache, to make pub food something special without taking away its essential element of earthiness and popularity, but improving on what is already good. A fantastic cookery book, in my opinion.

check the recipe Tom.,
This review is from: Tom Kerridge's Proper Pub Food (Hardcover)
Over all I like this book a lot and Tom is a legend, BUT, some serious errors have been made. The salt content in the brine for the fried chicken is absurd as the liquid becomes concentrated with salt before even half has been dissolved. The 4tsp of salt specified in the spice mix makes the coating inedible. I notice that the brine recipe in the follow up book doubles the amount of water and reduces the salt to 400g from 500g. This was his first book, so hopefully better checks will be made in the future. I wasted nearly �20 on ingredients.

slightly disappointed really...,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Tom Kerridge's Proper Pub Food (Hardcover)
I ordered this book months ago on pre order as a enjoy Tom's appearances on tv and and always drool over the food he produces so when I saw he was about to release his cookbook and it was called proper pub grub I was delighted as it would be filled with new twists on classics and also future classics with tips from a 2 Michelin star chef, BUT although the photograpy is good and Toms introductions are written in a friendly style there are remarkably few things I want to cook from either as the ingredients are tricky to get or they sound a bit too complicated or they just don't sound nice eg Jacobs ladder and bone marrow bread pudding,pigs trotters and bacon on toast, eggy bread with chocolate and orange sauce ( a breakfast dish? really?...)it maybe I'm not as adventurous as I think I am or maybe I don't fancy going to a pub and eating flaked skate,dandelion leaves,charred lemon and anchovies.If you are the sort of person who will make this kind of food at home then hats off to you and I'm sure you will absolutely love this book but its just not for me I prefer gastro pub classics by trish hilferty or the eagle cookbook.if you found this review helpful then please click yes at the bottom

The House joined the Senate on Tuesday in Washington in honoring Henry Aaron, who made baseball history a quarter-century ago by breaking Babe Ruth's career home run record. ''This is one day I know I'll never forget,'' Aaron, the former Braves and Brewers slugger, said after the House unanimously approved a resolution recognizing him as one of the sport's greatest players. The Senate approved a similar resolution last week.
Aaron hit his 715th home run on April 4, 1974, to break Ruth's record.

Unless you become as a little child...
A lesson in sacrificial giving from a primary school child - Heather Skull explores just why it is that the children will find the Kingdom of heaven before the grownups.
I made a grown man cry today. No, I didn't stand on his toes. Nor did I fold up a map the wrong way in front of him. Nor did I bump his car with mine. All I did was tell him a story…
Perhaps I should explain.
I'm currently at New Wine in Somerset. No, it's not a Bacchanalian celebration of the skills of the vintner, but a chance for people of faith - particularly Christian faith - to get themselves a spiritual recharge.
For two weeks, the Royal Bath and West Showground near Shepton Mallet in Somerset becomes home to thousands of intrepid campers and caravanners, all searching for that one common purpose - to meet with God and his people and see where that takes them.
In the Market Place where I am, there are many charities, all telling stories of despair, hope, transformation, challenges and injustice. Each one has its supporters, each one is hoping to touch people's hearts with what's being done in the name of God.
It's intriguing to watch how different people come into the Market Place. Many are more than happy to exchange pleasant greetings, small talk and banter - while others keep their heads down and refuse to catch your eye. Their fear? The possibility that you might jump out at them, grab them in a headlock and refuse to let them go until they've signed up to a massive direct debit.
The truth is much more complex. I would be lying if I said that we didn't go to New Wine hoping to get financial support. Christians have an uncomfortable relationship with money - particularly when asking for financial support from others. It's the 'dirty' side of charity work - explain you're a fundraiser and people eye you with the same suspicion they eye the taxman. Or the Bond villain.
So we are hoping that Us, the charity I work for, will gain new supporters and that more people will sign up to support us. But it's more than that. One of the reasons New Wine is so successful is that people who come to it have a real heart for understanding God's calling.
That might mean the spiritual equivalent of a kick into the middle of next week, or it might mean some sacrificial giving, or chucking in a job to go and work overseas. Who knows? As CS Lewis points out in 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,' Aslan isn't safe to be with, but he is the King worth following.
The trouble is that we often put up barriers to listening to what's going on around us. We can't fail to be moved by what's going on in Gaza, or the Ukraine or any of the other troubled parts of the world. And many of us will respond by giving generously to the emergency appeals that all too often grace our television screens.
As I have been walking around the Market Place, looking at other people's stalls, I've been struck by the number that are offering incentives to give. In return for giving money, you get something in return.
I have to admit, I am uncomfortable with that. But I also like the idea of getting a 'free' gift in return for something I've done or given. And yet, God calls on us to give without counting the cost. He calls us to be good stewards. And he calls us to look around us and care for those in need. He calls for us to care and give unconditionally, just as we have been loved and blessed by him.
It was a little girl who brought this home to me. She couldn't have been more than about eight or nine years old. She was walking through the Market Place, when she stopped to look at the stand of the charity I work for, Us. She looked at the picture of the woman who'd survived domestic violence and she read the words, 'Without your help, I would be dead.' And as I watched her, she reached into her pocket, pulled out her purse and emptied the entire contents into the postbox which sits at the front of our exhibition space.
She didn't want a free gift or incentive. This was just the girl who saw a need and wanted to help in whatever way she could. The lump in my throat wouldn't go away. Childlike simplicity always brings me back down to earth with a bump.
When I told that story on New Wine FM – yes, they even have their own radio station - the presenter could hardly speak, he was so moved. I saw the tears come into his eyes and he swallowed hard before he could continue with his words. A grown man weeping for the heartfelt response to great need by a child.
It's no wonder that Jesus told his disciples that unless they became as little children, they'd never see the kingdom of heaven. How right that is. I wonder sometimes whether we're so busy trying to get our free gifts of spiritual maps and theological sat navs that we neglect to see the whacking great sign saying, 'Kingdom of heaven. This way.'
Meanwhile, our children look up, see the sign and walk right in…

Comments about quiksilver Ranger Hat:
This hat is an excellent summertime hat. It provides good protection in the sun, which is what I mainly use it for, and the straw makes it lightweight and breathable. The hat holds it shape well, but it also seems like it could crush very easily so I have to be careful when packing it.

When used in this agreement, the words "we" and "us" refer to InspectionOne and its employees. The terms "I", "you" and "your" refer to the Client named at the end of this agreement. Assignment. This agreement is a personal agreement between you and us. No person other than you has a right to rely on the contents of this Agreement or our report for any reason whatsoever. The attached inspection report is the sole property of the Client named below and may not be transferred to any other party without the permission of the client. Permission to release the report may be given by the client initialing where indicated at the end of this agreement. InspectionOne may use any or all digital images for promotional or other uses. Scope of the Inspection. This inspection is intended to assist you in evaluating the overall condition of the building. It is based entirely on our observations of the visible and apparent condition of the building and its visible components on the date of the inspection. Latent or concealed defects may become apparent over time. We make no representations regarding latent or concealed conditions. Care has been taken in performance of this inspection, but we have not disassembled equipment, moved furniture or opened wall coverings. The inspection report is not technical in nature or scope and is not fully exhaustive. There is no implication that every component was inspected or that every possible defect was discovered. There is no warranty or guarantee expressed or implied. This inspection and report meet or exceed the standards set by the American Society of Home Inspectors. If the property contains a number of like-type items, such as windows, doors and electrical outlets, a representative sample of each may be inspected. The roof may have been inspected only from the ground if damage to the roof surface may occur and / or risk to the inspector that may result if the inspector walks on the roof. Also, a leak can begin at any time. Unless there has been recent and heavy precipitation, it is impossible to detect a leak. Small leaks can go undetected unless it is actually raining at the time of the inspection. Cold conditions can also affect the inspectors ability to detect a leak. If the moisture on the roof is frozen, a leak may go undetected. If the roof was inspected from the ground, it is advised to have a qualified roofing technician verify the roof condition. Snow Cover. If the roof and grounds are snow covered at the time of the inspection, those components that are covered or inaccessible will be identified and will not be included in the inspection report. If the Client so desires, the inspector will return to the property when the snow has melted to inspect those components. It is the sole responsibility of the Client to notify and schedule the re-inspection with us when the snow has melted. Although every effort will be made, we assume no liability for re-inspection prior to any contractual deadlines. Estimates of Remaining life may be contained in the inspection report. These are estimates based on statistical comparisons and actual conditions may alter the remaining life. The actual life span can vary considerably from those estimates. We assume no responsibility for the estimated life spans that may be given. There may be cracks or bulges in walls that are noted in the inspection report. Time is a critical element in determining if a crack or bulge has any significance. It is impossible to determine if a crack or bulge is significant during the course of a single inspection. It is necessary to determine if movement is still occurring. The attached inspection report is limited to a description of the condition of the walls observed during the inspection. In many cases, a crack or bulge should be monitored for an extended period of time, a year or more. If movement is detected, the advice of a licensed professional engineer should be obtained. This inspection is not a structural evaluation. Colorado Law. This Agreement shall be governed and interpreted according to the laws of the State of Colorado, regardless of where any arbitration proceedings or litigation may take place. Exclusions and Limitations of Liability. InspectionOne * (719) 499-4124 Exclusions. The scope of this inspection does not extend to pest inspections, swimming pools, wells, water conditioning equipment, septic systems, underground fuel tanks, security systems, state of the art equipment, such as solar energy systems, flora, fauna or any landscaping items, and piers. We do not test for or comment on water quality, mold, air quality or other environmental issues. Any and all inaccessible and concealed items are excluded. Hazardous Materials. There are numerous hazardous materials that may be present in buildings. These include radon, UFFI, asbestos and lead paint. We have not conducted inspections for these materials as a part of this report. Inspections for these materials may be obtained at additional cost to you from InspectionOne or other companies. Limitation of Liability. Under any and all circumstances, our maximum liability is limited to treble (three times) the amount of the inspection fee. Opportunity to Re-Inspect. We will not assume any liability for repair, replacement or other corrective action unless we are notified in advance and given reasonable opportunity to reinspect the property. It may be necessary to reinspect the property more than once to determine responsibility for corrective action. You may be asked to obtain multiple (up to three) estimates for repairs in order to determine if we are responsible for the cost of correction. Under all circumstances, it is the sole responsibility of the client to obtain these estimates. Warranties. If the property is being sold with a Homeowner Warranty, all claims for corrective action must be first filed against the warranty and not InspectionOne. Property Disclosure and Pre-Closing Walk-Through. To protect yourself, it is recommended that you obtain a signed property disclosure statement from the seller of the property. It is also recommended that you conduct a pre-closing walk-through of the property. Changes may have occurred between the time of the inspection and closing. If a problem is discovered during the pre-closing walk through, notify the seller immediately and forward a copy of the pre-closing walk through form to InspectionOne. Failure to obtain a signed disclosure statement and to conduct a pre-closing walk -through may relieve InspectionOne of any and all liability. It is strongly recommended to check the permit status for all work or improvements performed by the current and past property owners. Obtain copies of completed permits for all work requiring permits. (Basement Finish, furnace replacement, water heater replacement, remodel, etc.) Post Inspection Procedures and Services. We remain available for telephone and on-site consultation, without charge, for as long as you own the building. Scheduling for on-site visits must be flexible. Although every effort will be made to accommodate you, scheduling conflicts and delays may occur depending upon the season. If any controversy or claim related to this contract or our inspection arises, it must be filed within a reasonable time after discovery of the problem, and in no event later than one (1) year from the date of the inspection, and shall at our option, shall be settled by arbitration or the local court system. In any case, in any arbitration or legal action in which we are found to be without fault, you agree to reimburse us for any attorney's fees incurred in our defense of the proceeding. The undersigned client acknowledges receipt of a copy of this agreement, inspection report, and pre-closing walk through form.

Best Sasha Martinez Poems
Love is given, Love is Taken. I give you something that others are forsaken. Love is pain. Love is inspiration. I just want to be part of your aspiration. Love sometimes waits, Love sometimes grows. I forbid you to be my past shadows. Love is hidden, Love is shown. True emotions are forever unknwon. Love is just love, Love is just indescribable. But love shall always be at hands reach and acquirable.

What "other motors" do you have that are not babbit bearing motors??
When I die I want to go peacefully - in my sleep, not yelling and screaming like passengers in my car... Midnight Sun Street Rod Association http://www.akjohn.com/Events/MIDNIGH...-ROD/i-DDWLF64 |
I'm sorry ! I guess I was in hurry t0o post this, and on to something else. What should have said, is , I have DONE other motors before, never a 'babbit' kind . I've done a 235-6 about 8 years ago, did my wifes Cutlass 350 2 years ago, MANY years before, I used to do some farm tractors, and the Deisel truck motors, BUT, never did a babbit thi Just wondering what I would be in for !!! thanks for the intrest !
babet brgs
you need to find a verry old machinest,1 skilled in pouring babet and machineing to the sze of the cranh,and or block.babet is a mixture of lead and other ingreadiances,the old machinist will know all about good bad and ugley of the trade. good luck
The only poured and sized bearing shells I've worked with were in Westinghouse turbine generators (shaft bearings) I worked with for the Air Force at their power plants. Large 9.5 megawatt units.
What motor are you talking about here that requires a craftsman to pour custom babbit inserts for? I'm confused! All current automotive motors I'm aware of use babbit inserts, you know, the old crank and main bearing sets you buy from the parts house. There have been some roller bearing motors years ago, Honda's little sports car year for one, but they didn't pan out.

I do babbit motors often. Currently a 24 Ford.
I get rods/block done (babbit poured) by Pauls rods or Effingham re-grinders in Effingham Ill. www.effinghamregrinding.com/aboutus.htm-I have a grinder in Pontiac, Mi. That welds and grinds the crank pins back to standard. . Find an old astablished machine shop that does farm/commercial equipment (maybe oil rig stuff?). They will give the low down on costs in your area. Last edited by email@example.com; 05-30-2013 at 06:43 PM. |

Babbit bearins/
You need to find a club in your area that caters to original restored old cars, Eg model T Ford Club of america, chapters , Model A ford club. Early ford V8 Club. Horseless carriage club ETC Those guys know who does babbit work. how long it takes for the semi retired guy to get to your project. It takes a set of molds for the babbit, to be poured , then when it has cooled they are sometimes pounded to set them, then rough boring, then dye, turning the crank to see the shinny high spots, then hand scraping , repeat, lots of time, $ $
that sounds like the answer I was looking for... at a car show yesterday, I asked around also. Got all few "intresting' answers ! Some were kinda 'out to lunch'... thabnks guys, that what I wanted to know. If any one is intrested, let me know here, and post the repair job

Johar, who deadheated for first with High Chaparral in last year's John Deere Breeders' Cup Turf (gr. IT) and was a finalist for an Eclipse Award, has been retired because of a suspensory injury, according to Daily Racing Form.

A homebred for The Thoroughbred Corp. of the late Prince Ahmed Salman, Johar also won the Hollywood Derby (gr. IT), Oak Tree Derby (gr. IIT), and San Marcos Stakes (gr.
