How To Splice Feathers - The quick and easy way Tutorial by RMSG Pictures and Writing by Tommy Clum Feather Splicing by Tommy Clum |
Splicing your own feathers is an enjoyable way to spend time while also adding a personal touch to your arrows. When I wanted to learn how to splice feathers I scoured the internet looking for various techniques. I never found one that I thought was easy or quick (that still suited my perfectionist expectations), so after a little experimentation, and borrowing bits and pieces of other methods I had seen, I came up with the method I will show here. Being a perfectionist, I was not happy with several of the methods that I first experimented with. The feathers didn't line up, the connection was not clean, and it didn't "look" as good as I wanted. To my knowledge, and in my opinion, this is the cleanest and best looking method of splicing feathers. Another side note, Trueflight feathers are by far and away the easiest feathers to splice with. They have very consistent bases and stiff rigid quills. Gateway feathers don't have the same consistency, otherwise they are okay. And the hardest feather I have ever spliced, bar none, is a real wild turkey feather. Partly because I split and grind them myself and I am not as consistent, partley because they are sometimes dirty, but a lot of times it is because they quills do not attach to the membrane as well. You'll have fun trying the different types of feathers. A video of the process: |
Below are several examples of finished feathers on arrows. Several things that I look for when examining splices are: How well do the quills connect, does one color shoot off the base at a different angle? Is there a gap anywhere along the connection line? Do the bases fit together seamlessly? Do all of the feathers line up with each other? Etc... | |
My Splicing Terms Lets make sure we're on the same page with the terms that I am using. We'll use the picture below as an example. I am not sure if these are the scientifically correct terms. My feather splicing pals all use or understand these terms, so I'm sticking with them!
STEP 1: Peeling back the membrane |
Lets get started! There are a couple of things to think about... First of all, after much experimentation, I have learned that it is far easier to start with a full length feather. It is also easier to leave yourself a lot of room. Trying to splice the exact length you would like to finish with is doable, but it is a little bit of a pain and adds time to the whole process. In this instance I am going to splice a white cap on to the back of a real turkey feather. |
Starting somewhere near the top (like I said above, I find it easier to leave myself a lot of room to play with so I am not going for exact measurements yet) separate the quills where you want to start peeling back the membrane. I use the three fingers on my left hand to support the base of the feather. By doing so I avoid ripping the base as I tear away the membrane. Without support the base folds and creases, breaking at the crease every time. |
In this instance you can see that I am using a right wing feather. With a right wing feather, pull the quills at a slight angle to the left (as the picture is shown). Pulling at a slight angle to the left helps the membrane detach from the base. Once you have detached the membrane and pulled it back a half inch or so you can pull the remainder of the membrane straight back to your desired length. |
STEP 2: Cutting the membrane off of the base |
Once you have peeled the membrane back to your desired length it is time to cut it from the base. If you leave even 1/16th inch of detached membrane on the base it will be difficult to match your splices together and insure that the quills lock together. So it is important to have a smooth, clean cut. Here I have reached the my desired length, you can see where the membrane is lifted off of the base. |
I insert a brand new and very sharp razor blade several quills back from where I have stopped. |
Here, I lift the membrane up, applying ZERO pressure on the razor blade. What I am trying to do, is to peel the membrane up to the razor blade. Once the membrane hits the razor blade, the blade will cut through the membrane, leaving a smooth cut without any overhanging membrane still attached to the base. |
Once the membrane has been cut away, you can see the smooth base that is left behind. |
Another view of the base with the membrane taken off. |
I'm now left with a base ready for my white splice, and a natural turkey membrane that I will use in the future. |
STEP 3: Removing the white membrane |
Repeat STEP 2 with the other color. Start to peel back the membrane. |
Continue peeling to the desire length. |
Use the razor blade to cut the membrane from the base. |
The finished product. |
Now I have all my white membranes ready to glue on to my turkey feather bases. | |
STEP 4: Trimming the membrane, preparing to glue |
The back end is always a little "frilly". I trim the back off so that I have a clean edge to glue. |
Trim the front end as well. It is important that I do not have any membrane sticking in front of the first quill. If I do, the quills will not be close enough to properly lock together. |
STEP 5: Check alignment before gluing |
Always check to make sure you have a clean fit before gluing. Once we apply the glue it will be near impossible to make corrections. |
You can see the the quills lock together nicely, from the base all the way up to the tips. |
Looking down the feather I can see that the angle of the quills is the same. The angle will be different at different parts of the feather. Using a splice from the front of one feather, and trying to apply it to the back of another will not work. The quills will be at such a different angle that they will not lock together strong enough and will separate. It will not look nice if your quills are not locked together. |
Below, you can see a good example of a splice coming off at a bad angle. You will never want to glue this one in place, it will never interlock correctly. In this example, the red splice is from the back of one feather, and I am trying to fit it on the front end of the white feather. The quills are coming off the base at too much of a different angle... |
STEP 6: Gluing in the membrane |
Most any glue that you use to adhere your feathers to your shafts will work for gluing the membrane onto the base. I prefer to use a fast drying glue, such as the Bohning Quantum XT, or an equivalent (like pictured). The fast drying glue is easier for me to work with. However, I have used the Bohning Fletch-Tite many times with satisfactory results. I like to apply glue to the base. I have experimented applying glue to either the membrane or the base first. They both work. The only reason I like applying glue to the base is because I seem to glue my fingers together less, ha! You can experiment and find what you like best. |
The final product, ready to be cut. You can see that the back end has some frills and is not stuck down completely. Like I said above, I leave myself a lot of extra room. The back end will be trimmed off anyway, depending on how long I want my white cap to be. In this instance, I was not concerned with the back not being glued down perfectly because I'm trimming off a 1/4inch or so anyway. |
STEP 7: Cutting the feather |
Depending on how long you wish to make your feather, and how long you would like the splice to be, I like to cut my feather at this stage. If I am trying to line up my splice with a cresting line I have found it much easier to do at this point, rather than at the beginning. | |
Below, I have measure how long I want my white "cap", and then measure the overall length of the feather. |
Personally, I prefer to glue on the feathers at the stage in the picture above, and then use a burner to shape my feathers. However, using a chopper (like I did below) produces fine results as well. The main thing that you have to be sure of, whether chopping or burning, is that the quills have locked together everywhere. If there is a gap somewhere in the quills then there will be an uneven place in the feather. |
You're done. Next step is to apply to arrow, and shoot! |
Tips and Tricks |
Here is a simple thing that I have found to make life easier when splicing. If I am using more than one color, I like to fit them together to make sure everything locks properly before I glue anything. In the picture below, you can see that the splice membranes are not glued to the base. I have set them in first, making sure that everything lines up well and that the quills all lock together properly. After I have seen that all is good I will glue them. |
Often times when feathers are dyed the base is dyed as well. As you can see in the picture below, even though I have a white feather spliced in, the base which I glued it on to is still red. |
Using my razor blade, I hold it perpendicular to the feather and gently scrape away the top layer of the base at the connection line. As you can see in the following pictures, this does a nice job of making the feather look a little cleaner. |
The finished product, all cleaned up, compared to where we started. |
That's all I got. There may be quicker ways of splicing feathers, but I have yet to see anything that looks as clean, or fits as nicely, as this method. You don't need any special dremel tools or sand paper. Just glue and a razor blade (and a burner or a chopper). Have fun, and please send me some pictures of your feather splicings. I always enjoy to see other's work. |

Motorist need to be aware of strong winds that will make travel difficult along I-90 from Reed Point to the Bozeman pass and along the foothills of the Beartooth and Absaroka mountains including the town of Nye through this evening…strong cross winds can especially make travel difficult for high profile vehicles and towing units.
If your planning on traveling over the next few days be prepared for periodic snow, occasional winds, bitter cold temperatures and dangerous wind chills…Some roads throughout the region are snow packed and slick. Make sure you take all the necessary precautions including traveling with that winter survival kit.
In Billings all roads are snow covered and snow packed and are very slippery. Slow down, buckle up and take your time!
A little more than a year ago, Mike Williams, who had played in the NBA for Atlanta and Sacramento, was shot eight times while breaking up a fight at an Atlanta night club.
When he awoke from a coma, the 6'8 giant was partially paralyzed from his waist down.
Enter Dan Ivankovich, who had played high-school basketball with Williams 30 years earlier, and who had become an orthopedic surgeon.
Ivankovich hopes to be able to fit Williams with a pair of computer-controlled robotic legs which could potentially work well enough to have the two old friends playing each other in one-on-one.
The bionic legs have been successful on smaller people, and Ivankovich believes if he can get them to work for a man who's basketball nickname was "Massive Mike Williams" they could work for anybody. Read on to see their tale.

Motorists need to be aware that an arctic cold front will be slipping into the region today bringing with it the possibility of snow…mainly from Billings west to Harlowton and the Beartooth foothills
Here is a look at road conditions this Tuesday morning.
In Billings all roads are either snow packed or partially snow packed and icy…expect icy and slick intersections this morning.
In Billings roads are mostly dry with some scattered areas of moisture…Remember we have some serious pot holes around the magic city so be on the look out for them….some are very large and deep and can really do some major damage to your vehicle.

The Effects of Capacity on Sales Under Alternative Vertical ContractsIoannis IoannouLondon Business School Julie Holland Mortimeraffiliation not provided to SSRN Richard MortimerAnalysis Group, Inc. March 2011 The Journal of Industrial Economics, Vol. 59, Issue 1, pp. 117-154, 2011 Abstract: Retailer capacity decisions can impact sales for products by affecting, for example, availability and visibility. Using data from the U.S. video rental industry, we report estimates of the effect of capacity on sales under alternative vertical contracts. New monitoring technologies facilitated new supply contracts in this industry, reducing upfront costs of capacity but requiring minimum capacity purchases, strongly impacting stocking decisions. We find that larger capacity (more tapes) for a given title can substantially increase rentals of that title; and that alternative vertical contractual forms for distributing tapes from studios to retailers strongly impacts the relationship between capacity and rentals.

It's taken me this long to be back in a place where I feel like I can begin again... and this weekend, I did just that.
I have a bunch of watercolour paper already cut into half sheets, long half sheets rather than just half sheets. They're 4.5" wide, 12" tall. I began with a coat of gesso, and then some blue paint.
A little bit of a page from a music history book, and suddenly there is grass.
A few smaller circles, painted a nice bright orangie-yellow... a few strokes from a Sharpie.
And some of the worst penmanship of my life... and it seems somehow very appropriate in this instance...
It's a realization that I've discovered over the last six months or so... "When I stopped trying to create a "perfect" piece of art I started creating my best work". A very interesting observation, don't you think?

What is Depression?
Depression is a disturbance in mood, thought, and/or body characterized by varying degrees of sadness, disappointment, loneliness, hopelessness, self-doubt, and guilt. Most people tend to feel depressed at one time or another; some people may experience these feelings more frequently or with deeper, more lasting effects. In some cases, depression can last for months or even years. The most common type of depression, "feeling blue" or "being in a bad mood" is usually brief in duration and has minimal or slight effects on normal, everyday activities. In the next level of depression, symptoms are more intense and last for a longer period of time. Daily activities become more difficult but the individual is still able to cope with them. However, feelings of hopelessness can become so intense that suicide may seem the only solution. In severe depression, a person may experience extreme fluctuations in mood or even a complete withdrawal from daily routine and/or the outside world.
What causes depression?
When the source of depression is readily apparent, the individual can expect the feelings to lessen and then fade away within a reasonable amount of time. In cases where feelings of depression exist with no apparent source, the depression may get worse because the person is unable to understand it. This sense of loss of control may lead to an increase in the feelings of depression. Any number of stressors may be involved in depression. These can include personality, or environmental factors such as loss of a loved one, an unhealthy relationship, academic stressors, excessive criticism and negativism, unrealistic expectations and difficulty in expressing feelings. Biochemical factors, such as illness, infection, certain drugs (including alcohol and even prescribed medications), and improper diet and nutrition can create chemical imbalances that can play a significant role in some depressions. In general, depression is a withdrawal from physical or psychological stress. Identifying and understanding the underlying cause(s) of the stress is crucial in learning how to cope with and ultimately overcome the depression.
What are the symptoms of depression?
- Persistent feelings of sadness, irritability or anxiety
- Overreaction to irritations
- Sleeping too much, or sleeping too little
- Losing or gaining weight
- Tiredness or restlessness
- Slowed movement, thought and/or speech
- Guilt, low self-esteem, feelings of worthlessness
- Inability to concentrate, poor memory
- Loss of motivation
- Feelings of hopelessness
- Suicidal thoughts and/or behavior
- Withdrawal from relationships, antisocial behavior
- Physical aches and pains that seem to have no cause
- Loss of interest in activities previously enjoyed, including sex
If you have a few of the symptoms on this list, you may be suffering from a form of depression.
What can be done about depression?
There are several options available for those suffering from depression. The first step in the process is to be honest with yourself about changes in mood or the intensity of negative feelings when they occur as this will help you identify the possible sources of depression and stress. Examine your feelings and try to determine what is troubling you -- relationships with family or friends, school, financial responsibilities, and so forth. Discussing problems with the people involved or with an understanding friend can sometimes bring about a resolution before a critical stage of depression and stress is reached. Even mild depression should be dealt with if it is interfering with your effectiveness and/or performance. You might also try to:
- Change your normal routine by taking a break for a favorite activity or something new, even if you don't feel like it
- Exercise to work off tension, help you relax, and perhaps improve your ability to sleep
- Avoid known stressors
- Become more positive and active rather than criticizing and waiting for others to act
- Learn to be specific, not vague about your feelings and to express them constructively
- Delay making long-term commitments, decisions or changes that make you feel trapped or confined
Helping a depressed friend
Since severely depressed individuals can be very withdrawn, lethargic, self-ruminating, and possibly suicidal, a concerned friend can provide a valuable and possibly life-saving service. Talking candidly with the individual regarding your concern for his or her well-being will often help bring the problems out into the open. As you talk with your friend:
- Share your concern and willingness to help
- Acknowledge the pain and suffering
- Do not try to "cheer up" the individual
- Do not criticize or blame as feelings of depression are not the person's fault
- Do not sympathize and claim that you "know how it feels" or that you feel the same way as he or she does
- Try not to get angry with the person
If the depression appears to turn to thoughts of suicide, urge the individual to seek professional help. If the person resists such a suggestion and you feel that suicide is likely, contact one of the professionals at The Student Health Center so you will know how to best handle the situation.
When professional help is necessary?
Depression is treatable and needless suffering can be alleviated. At the Student Health Center, there are physicians on staff who can help you make a plan to deal with your depression. There is also a Behavioral Medicine Specialist on staff that is available whenever someone is experiencing any of the following circumstances:
- When pain or problems outweigh pleasures much of the time
- When symptoms are so severe and persistent that day-to-day functioning is impaired, and/or
- When stress seems so overwhelming that suicide seems to be a viable option
The health care professionals at the Student Health Center can help you identify the causes and sources of your depression and can help you find ways to overcome them. At the Student Health Center, we are concerned about you and your health and want to help you make the most out of your college experience.

Exiled to Paradise
Kalaupapa National Historical Park celebrates the triumph of the human spirit over Hansen's disease.
By Kevin Grange
Ambrose T. Hutchison discovered the "dying den˝ on his second day at Kalaupapa in 1879. As Hutchison trod a dirt path in the shade of the coconut palms, a man wearing a white rag over his nose and mouth hurried past. The man pushed a wheelbarrow filled with stained and soiled rags to the entrance of a dilapidated hut, and then in one great heave, dumped the contents out. That's when Hutchison heard an "agonized moan˝ and realized there was a person in there.
"Hutchison watched in horror as a dying man crawled into the hut and collapsed face down. This "spectacle of inhumanity" filled him with such a sense of foreboding that Hutchison fled. Would he, too, die alone and abandoned? When a figure clothed in black appeared before him, his fate seemed certain. But it wasn't the grim reaper—it was a priest, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a stiff, brimmed hat.
"Good morning," said the priest with a broad smile. "I am Father Damien."
Thus began a friendship that would change Hutchison's life forever.
Religious missionaries first mentioned seeing "remediless and disgusting cases" of leprosy, or Hansen's disease, in the Hawaiian Islands around 1823. Caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae, the disease slowly damages the skin and nervous system, causing sores, decreased sensation, paralysis, loss of fingers and toes, and, back then, death. By 1865, fear of this ancient affliction was so great in Hawai'i that the government signed into law The Act to Prevent the Spread of Leprosy. The legislation allowed authorities to confine "any person alleged to be a leper" and "assist in removing such a person to a place of treatment or isolation." Patients with mild symptoms were sent to Kalihi Hospital and Detention Center on Oahu; the worst were forced into isolation on the island of Molokai.
With its sandy beaches, misting rainbows, and lush valleys, Molokai's Kalaupapa Peninsula was a South Pacific paradise. But Hawaiian leaders sent victims of Hansen's disease here because of its Alcatraz-like inaccessibility, not its beauty. The world's highest sea cliffs separated the sick from the rest of Molokai; strong ocean currents, heavy surf, and tiger sharks deterred anyone from swimming away.
The first 12 patients arrived in January 1866, and as the rowboat took them from steamship to shore, they were told they'd never see their families again; they would die on Molokai. "Hawaiians are very resourceful people, but the first patients were out of their element as strangers in an unfamiliar place," says Ka`ohulani McGuire, cultural anthropologist at Kalaupapa National Historical Park. "They were literally spit out onto the land, without any infrastructure, food, water, or clothing."
Too sick to hunt, farm, or fish, the patients began writing letters to religious institutions. Joseph De Veuster, better known as Father Damien (a Catholic priest from Belgium), had already spent nine years as a missionary on the Big Island when he responded to their cries for help.
He arrived in May 1873. Father Damien knew that serving these abandoned patients would be trying, but nothing prepared him for what he described as "the living cemetery that was Molokai." Drunkenness, gambling, and theft were rampant, the sickest patients were dumped into the dying den, and dead bodies were discarded into dark ravines, to become food for feral pigs.
Father Damien ministered at a church on the eastern side of the peninsula but also worked as a carpenter, farmer, and teacher. "I am not ashamed to be a manual laborer for the glory of God," he declared. Assisted by Mormon, Protestant, and Evangelical missionaries, as well as some courageous family members of patients, Father Damien grew crops; built homes, schools, and a reservoir for drinking water; and pleaded with the Hawaiian government and church officials to send more medical supplies, food, and clothing. Though most Board of Health officials kept a safe distance from the patients, Father Damien ate out of the same poi bowl, shared his tobacco pipe with them, and bandaged their wounds. When asked of his devotion, Father Damien said, "My greatest happiness is in serving the Lord in his poor and sick children who are rejected by others."
Despite the sense of community Father Damien helped create, death was a daily reality. "There are many empty places in church," he wrote to his brother in 1880, "but in the cemetery there is hardly any room at all." Much of Father Damien's time was spent building coffins, digging graves, and administering last rites. Like the boundless sky above Kalaupapa's moody clouds, Father Damien urged his patients to identify with the Holy Spirit within, which remained untouched by death or disease.
But even Father Damien had his weaknesses, and eventually his body succumbed to the disease surrounding him. "I am gently going to my grave," he stated. "It is the will of God and I thank him very much for letting me die of the same disease and in the same way as my lepers." He died on April 15, 1889, in the company of Mother Marianne Cope and Brother Joseph Dutton, who would continue his work on Kalaupapa.
At its peak, 1,200 patients lived on Kalaupapa, and over the years, more than 8,000 called the peninsula home. Although the advent of sulfone drugs helped treat Hansen's disease in the 1940s, segregation laws isolating the sick weren't lifted until 1969. Just 11 years after that, Kalaupapa National Historical Park was created to tell the story of the island's patients and the heroic volunteers who helped them. "It's a story about overcoming adversity," says the park's superintendent, Steve Prokop. "Our goal is to help people understand how such an injustice happened and should never happen again."

Island County citizens misled on septic systems
Members of Island County's Democratic Party and environmental extremists are busy speaking from their book of rhetoric like the following statement from Nels Kelstrom on Sept. 1, 2011:
"A case in point is (Jeff) Lauderdale's very vocal opposition to any attempt by Island County to solve the very real problem of fecal coliform pollution. In March of 2010 he spoke at an Island County Board of Health meeting and argued that the county's new septic inspection program is based on 'faulty science.' There's that standard 'faulty science' argument that the righties drag out whenever they do not like a regulation or program."
However, Jeff Lauderdale's assessment of Island County's mandatory Septic System Inspection Program back in 2010 was proven accurate by a little known report presented to Island County's Board of Health.
On March 19, 2012, Jill Wood, Island County's Environmental Health director, presented the 34-page Holmes Harbor Shellfish Protection Progress Report to the Island County Board of Health, which revealed septic systems are not the root cause of surface water pollution or Holmes Harbor water quality issues.
For years Island County government and environmental extremists insisted that septic systems were the root cause of an ongoing problem with elevated fecal coliform levels in Holmes Harbor.
Using faulty science and erroneous data collection Island County government deliberately misled the citizenry and used the data to establish the mandatory Septic Inspection Program and Clean Water Utility District. This deception also is the basis of Freeland's now defunct, $40 million sewer project.
What is interesting is both Island County government, and the Island County Water Resources Advisory Committee (WRAC) are giving themselves high fives for the success of the program, and working to remove the Holmes Harbor shellfish closure area. It is a miracle! The beach is not polluted! This miracle however, was actually accomplished by performing the tests correctly. Keep in mind that the remaining 86 percent non-compliant Island County residents who have septic systems already knew that septic systems were not the root cause of this problem.
That is why Jeff Lauderdale is the best choice for Island County Commissioner, District 1.

They work just fine!

What's to say? Nice set of key sizes to choose from. They are well made, and come in that 'caution orange' color that's easy to find. Get them!

What can you say about these little gems? They're orange, funnel shaped and cheap. That a great combination. It's nice to have a few different sized funnels around. For a couple of clams they are definitely worth having a set in your garage.
Great set of funnels for cheap

About Me Casual Driver
I dread refilling windshield wiper fluid, lawn mower oil changes, and filling up the lawn mower with gas because I inevitably spill some. These funnels help to keep the liquids from spilling all over the place. As long as they last a while, it was a great investment.
Ridiculously Cheap and Get Job Done
By CIvic Boy
from Centreville, VA
Not much to say except that they work. I've used the 2 largest sizes without issues.This funnel was a great buy for me especially because I have a civic, and the largest size fits perfectly snug into the spout of my radiator. I kept the funnel filled up while I bled the air out of the system.Would I like to have had a longer neck? Probably. Would I have wanted a bigger one? Sure. Can you get 4 funnels for less than this price though. Nope.
Awesome set of funnels
By gm
from Grand Rapids, MI
This set of funnels are great, especially when on sale... They could be considered disposable at the price, but in quality they are relatively thick and appear to be durable. I love how the funnels store inside eachother so it doesn't take up as much space. Comes in handy for oil changes or topping off car fluids... I assume you could use them in the kitchen as well, if you wash em good!
By JawaJam
from Orem, UT
They are funnels. They are orange so my brother can't say they are his when I get them back after he steals one. They are durable and they were cheap.

The Scottish dream of a first test win against the Springboks in South Africa will be shattered on Saturday afternoon.
Scotland, winners on four occasions in 16 starts against the Boks, have never won in South Africa and won't change that on this tour. They are an improved team at Murrayfield, but their form away from home has been desperate. Forget the talk of them having beaten England and France in Edinburgh, they lost in Dublin and in Cardiff and were headed for an embarrassing away defeat to Italy before triumphing 13-10.
Imagine the outcry in this country if the Boks needed a 78th minute three pointer to beat Italy!
The Scottish team has been spoken up, more in the hope of a contest than any serious conviction they actually have the firepower to shock the Boks.
This is a quality Bok team. The pack has that awesome look about it, unlike the mix and match who started against the World XV and Breyton Paulse's return will give the back three unit more balance.
The Boks will probably battle a bit in the first 30 minutes and it will be down to a combination of nerves, tension and a passionate Scottish beginning. But as the nerves settle, so too will the flow of the game and the Boks will win by 15 to 20 points. Fourie du Preez will give the backs more structure and Schalk Burger, Victor Matfield and Juan Smith give the pack a dimension that wasn't there at Ellis Park in the shabby performance against the World XV.
John Smit's leadership is also worth a good few points.
In other international matches, the All Blacks (despite not fielding many of their first choice players) will still be too strong for Ireland, but it won't be the 61-8 average score the All Blacks have managed over the last 25 first-up internationals at home. The AB's will win by a similar margin to the Boks in the region of a 15 to 20 pointer.
And the bones's final throw favours Knuckles Connolly and his new look Wallabies.
England will go down because the side Andy Robinson has assembled is not good enough. The fact that Mike Catt, at 34 years of age, is seen as the solution to the back play wobbles, says it all.
The Wobblies of 2005 to pitch up as the Wallabies of 2006 and to take it by 10 points.

transformer case grounding
Do you ground the outside case of chokes ,fill xformers and OPT
and If so do you only ground one corner or screw. i have seen one design were one end of the fill xformer is isolated with an insulator and the other connects to the chasis. I am about to start my 2a3 project but am trying to learn more about proper layout and grounding before I do. Jeff |

Not grounding the case or core of a transformer may be something which you can get away with, but you certainly don't want to spend three weeks searching for a source of hum to find out it was caused by not grounding the transformer. It's sort of in the "can't hurt - so just do it" basket.

food for thought...
what if all 4 corners of the case is grounded unintentionally? this would cause some ground loops to occur huh? |

No hummmm
In my experience I got the least hum when the transformer is connected to ground just at one point and use insulation washers for the other screws. Much better is to put the tranfo in a shielding box, again do the same one point grounding with the box. This worked fine for a very sensitive riaa amp with in-box supply.

I don't think it is necesary to ground the transformer casing. Some power transformer has a wire for shielding which can be used for grounding purpose. Therefore, I don't see it is needed.

Hi thzere.....
When I was building my amp psu, I did a test with the 650VA transformer with shoulds fitted with insulat washers and found 1 volt AC across each of the end shrouds...implying a relatively few turns/volt. This means if the studs were simply bolted in direct contact with each end then a sort of <sloppy eddy current shorted turn> exists via shrouds and to chassis mounting. Okay this isn't directly in the magnetic field path of the transformer but I kept the isolating washers to avoid any poss heating effect and isolated one end shroud from the chassis. However in saying this, there must have been loads of amps mass-produced in 50's generation that had no isolated screws. A well designed transformer should be fitted with isolated screws to avoid eddy current heating. Daresay with Low VA transformers the situation ain't so important except in preamps. rich |

Publisher's Description
What is your favorite part of trick-or-treating?
Is it dressing up in a silly (or scary ) costume? Or is it going from house to house with your friends, comparing all the great candy you've gotten? What about that feeling you get when you're walking up to a front door, and you're so excited just trying to guess what kind of treat you're going to get next?
Candy is a fun treat, but did you ever notice that it doesn't last very long? Did you know that there is a treat that lasts forever? It's a special treat that God gave us, just because He loves us so much. The Bible tells us,
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)
Who was this only Son? He was Jesus Christ, God's Son whom He sent from Heaven. Jesus was perfect and sinless. That means He never did anything wrong. He could do amazing things, like heal the sick and make blind people see again. He taught people to love God and each other. Jesus did only good things during His time on earth.
We are not perfect or sinless. We all sin--that means we do bad things, like tell lies or treat other people badly. No matter how much we try to do good things all the time, God knows that we are not perfect. He knows that we are not good enough to enter Heaven on our own, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). So, because Jesus loves us so much, He suffered and died on a cross as a way to take our punishment in our place.
Three days after Jesus died, God raised Him to life again. He lives now in Heaven, and if you accept Him as your Savior, you can get a new life too and live there with Him forever. That is the treat from God--the wonderful treat that is free to anyone who knocks on His door All you have to do is accept Jesus by saying a prayer like this:
Dear Jesus, thank You for loving me so much that You died for me. I am sorry for my sins and ask You to forgive me. Please come into my life and help me to live for You. Amen.

I should have listened to the other reviews.. I like the dress, but the chest area is too large. The dress is comfortable though. If the upper fit was a bit more snug I would love the dress, but it's still a good dress to have around.
Love this dress so much! Perfect little black dress for a wedding or any occasion. Tiny bit big in the bust since you can't really wear a bra with it, but not enough to be noticeable.
I love this dress. The bust area is a little big but nothing noticeable. It also does run longer than it shows on the model. I'm 5'1" and it goes down a little above my knees. I thought it was too long but it's flattering, either way. When my husband saw me in the dress, he got excited and said it was his favorite dress so far. He loves the back of the dress and how slimming and flowy it is. Definitely a keeper in my dress collection! :)
This dress is so fun but the bust is loose and requires altering. I also felt like it was a little too long. I am 5'3 with a C bust and still felt the dress was slightly swalllowing. I think it is worth altering because of how cute the back is, but hope that it wont ruin the dress.
I really loved this dress and it's material, but when I got it, it was really loose in the bust and trying to alter it would have made it look funny. I wouldn't recommend if you have a smaller bust and don't want that area floppy, but other than that disappointment I really liked it.

Sunday, August 30, 1998 BY JOHN FAY
Not with Aaron Boone. The Reds third baseman hit .241 at Triple-A Indianapolis; he's hitting .286 since he was called up to Cincinnati on July 31.
So what gives?
"Maybe it's because he's facing better pitching up here," Reds manager Jack McKeon said.
Whatever it is, it would appear Boone has played himself into contention for the third baseman's job in 1999.
"Absolutely," Reds General Manager Jim Bowden said. "He's contending for it right row."
His main competition is Paul Konerko, the power hitter Reds obtained from the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Jeff Shaw deal. Konerko has been playing third at Indianapolis since Boone was recalled. With Sean Casey set at first, and Dmitri Young set in left field, third base looks like the competitive spot. But a trade remains a possibility.
"Obviously, if Aaron Boone, Sean Casey, Dmitri Young and Paul Konerko continue to play well," Bowden said, "they'll have to be a trade. We'd do that when we could get something we need, like starting pitching."
Konerko has hit well at Indianapolis -- .309, five homers, 28 RBI in 29 games. He'll be called up Sept. 1 when the rosters are expanded, Bowden said.
"He would have been called up sooner," Bowden said, "if one them -- Casey, Young or Boone -- had failed."
Boone got his opportunity when Pokey Reese, who won the third base job (for this season at least), broke his thumb.
"You don't want it to happen that way," Boone said. "But all you want is an opportunity."
If Konerko hadn't been struggling with the Reds, Boone might not have gotten the chance. Immediately after the trade, Konerko was given the third base job.
Boone was concerned about other things.
Boone was starting to come out of his slump when he was called up. He hit .318 in his last 21 games in Triple-A.
Once at Cincinnati, he put together a nine-game hitting streak in which he hit .394. He has hits in 19 of his 25 games with the Reds, including the past five.
Boone, 25, is four years younger than his brother, Bret, the Reds second baseman. But Aaron is a bigger man (6-foot-2, 200 pounds, compared to 5-10, 180) with better power numbers in the minors. Aaron hit 17 homers and 44 doubles in 1996 at Double-A and 22 HRs and 30 doubles in Triple-A last year.
"Let's not get carried away after 20 games," McKeon said of Aaron's performance. "We saw it with guys last year."
Eduardo Perez, Chris Stynes and Jon Nunnally all earned starting job for 1998 by playing well at the end of 1997. But all three lost them by struggling early in '98.
"There are a lot of one-year phenomenons," McKeon said. "To be good, you've got to do it consistently. But (Aaron) seems to be adjusting better this year."
Boone thinks those two horrible months at Indianapolis, where he struggled to hit stay above .200, helped him.
"I had never been through that," he said. "I went through the minor leagues pretty easily. I hadn't had many bumps in the road. Sometime struggling can help more than success . . . if you learn from it. I think I learned from it."
Aaron Boone's adjustment to the majors has been easier because his brother plays just across the infield.
"It helps," he said. "Not so much on the field, but with the other stuff. Like I didn't have to worry about getting a place to stay. It helps having a veteran on the team who is your brother."
Boone's grandfather, Ray, and father, Bob, also played in the majors, so the Boones are constantly making baseball history. For example, one night, Bret and Aaron could become the first brothers to hit back-to-back homers since Paul and Lloyd Waner did it in 1938.
"We'll look back on historical stuff later and enjoy it," Aaron said. |

My 13 year old girl will be in edge too. She isn't shy at all. Hopefully she won't talk your dd's ear off. I sent you a pm.
We got assigned our stateroom number today and we were upgraded from Cat. 6A to 5A.!! I hope it's a great room!!
Do a lot of people dress up for the Pirate Night? Do you dress up for dinner or the party or both? I don't want it to be like the first time I went to MNSSHP and didn't dress up and seemed like the odd one out..now I dress up haha. Just didn't know how popular it was to dress up because I might head to MK this weekend or next and find some Pirate Ts before my CM 40% discount vanishes! Thanks!
Yes, we always dress up for pirate night! But you will see some who don't and some who go all out. It's a fun night!
Last time, DD wore a pirate dress (fully costumed), I wore a skull t-shirt with the bandana they left in our room (partially costumed), DH wore a black polo with khaki shorts (no costume at all). I didn't feel like any of us looked out of place. Seemed like the majority of adults were dressed like me...not full out pirate, but still with a little spirit. We got dressed before the shows/dinner. Most everybody else seemed dressed by then, too.
I got pirate costumes for the girls to wear, but I don't think that DH or I will dress up. But, it is our first Disney cruise, so we don't know what to expect.
We were on the Dream in November 2011. I was surprised at how many adults dressed up. Some families went all out and the entire group was decked out. It was kind of fun to see. My son refused to wear his costume, so I didn't bother dressing up myself. If you want to dress up, by all means do so! It's fun!
We would love to do a DIS board meet! They are typically done around 3pm before the drill in a lounge or on a particular deck area. Does that sound good to everyone?
I've never dressed up for pirate night. DS does and loves it. A lot of people really do get into it I love seeing people's creativity.
Thanks for all the responses! Our CM 40% merch discount is over on the 13th so I think next sunday I'll check out POTC gift shop and see if I can find some shirts to at least wear. I think Design A Tee would be a good place as well which might be stop #2 if POTC doesn't have what I'm looking for! ~sorry..another question! What are typical attires worn when going to CC and a beach day at Atlantis? I was thinking just swim suit and simple cover-up for CC and Atlantis maybe shorts and a tshirt + bring swimsuit??? I'm assuming they have changing areas?? Sorry for all the questions..newbee here obviously!!!
I wore a cover up over my swimsuit for CC last time and will do so again. DD wore the same, but this year she says she's bringing shorts for the bike ride. I don't remember any changing areas. Haven't been to Atlantis yet. That's on this year's agenda!
I'm not sure whether my mom will dress up, she seems enthused about it. But my dd isn't thinking she wants to dress up. It'll just be the two of them since dh &myself will be sneaking off to palo that night.
Sounds fun. Would this include the kids? Husband can't make it, so it's just me and DS9. He is very outgoing and looking forward to making new friends on board.
How about the Vista Cafe for the meet? It's right near the stairs- then we can take a group photo before we go to Muster.
We should be able to make it to a 3:00 meet up. I know Lindsay (11) will be anxious to meet up with new friends.
