An ink jet ink formulated to substantially reduce or eliminate start-up problems when an ink jet apparatus is initially discharged. The ink comprises at least two fluid components. The components have been matched to provide an ink that substantially maintains its initial formulation despite evaporation of the components.
1. A ink jet ink comprising about 5-15 weight percent oleic acid, about 47.5 to 60.0 weight percent benzyl ether, and at least one dye component.
2. The ink jet ink of claim 1 further comprising about 20 to about 28 weight percent n-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-pyrrolidone.
3. The ink jet ink of claim 2 further comprising about 14-15 weight percent of said dye component.
4. The ink jet ink of claim 1 wherein said dye component is selected from the group consisting of chinoline yellow, nigrosine base, chrom chelated yellow, typophor black and mixtures thereof.
5. The ink jet ink of claim 1 wherein the surface tension of said ink at operating temperature is about 32 to about 39 dynes/cm.
6. The ink jet ink of claim 1 further comprising n-cyclohexyl-2-pyrrolidone.
7. The ink jet ink of claim 6 comprising about 10 weight percent n-cyclohexyl-2-pyrrolidone.
8. An ink jet ink comprising dibutyl sebacate and typophor black.
9. The ink jet ink of claim 8 comprising about 30 weight percent dibutyl sebacate and about 70 weight percent typohor black.
10. The ink jet ink of claim 8 having surface tensions at between 76� F. and 135� F. of between about 29.8 and 32.0 dynes/cm.
This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 327,994, filed Dec. 7, 1981, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,400,215.
This invention relates to ink jet ink formulations, and more particularly to an ink jet ink and methods of eliminating or at least reducing problems associated with start-up when an ink jet apparatus is initially discharged.
The problems associated with ink jet start-up are legion and notorious. Start-up problems include: (1) misfiring or non-firing of the initial ink droplets; and (2) slower initial ink droplet velocities.
Poor start-up is generally believed to be a result of evaporation of the ink in the nozzle of the ink jet during an idle period between firings.
Heretofore, such problems have been always addressed in a mechanical or electrical sense, i.e. added pulses or signals were used to discharge the initial drop of ink in order to prevent misfiring, and to accelerate the ink drop to normal operating speed.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, no one has ever tried to formulate an ink which would prevent or substantially reduce start-up problems.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, no one has ever realized that a blending of ink fluid components could eleviate problems associated with ink jet start-up.
The present invention was discovered quite by accident during the scientific and engineering research of formulating ink jet compositions using oleic acid, as taught in our U.S. patent application Ser. No. 248,551 filed: Mar. 27, 1981; now U.S. Pat. No. 4,361,843.
During the aforementioned research, it was noted that one particular formulation always started properly during initial discharge of the ink jet. This formulation comprised by approximate weight: 30 percent oleic acid; 20 percent Typophor Black (30% weight of Nigrosine and 70% weight of oleic acid); and 50 percent benzyl ether.
Analysis of this formulation revealed that the oleic acid and benzyl ether had similar boiling points and low vapour pressures. It was then decided to formulate other ink compositions with components having matching boiling points and/or vapour pressures to see whether they too would exhibit a freedom from start-up problems. It was indeed observed that these new compositions were also free from start-up problems.
The chemistry is not yet fully understood regarding all the parameters which enter into the method of blending ink components to reduce start-up problems. Other factors, such as viscosity, may play a part in properly matching ink fluid components. At this time, however, it is safe to state that the matching of vapour pressures and/or boiling points of the components reduces to a significant degree the aforesaid problem.
It is believed that the matching of vapour pressure and/or boiling points produces an ink whose components evaporate at substantially similar or equal rates, thus providing an ink that maintains its initial formulation percentages despite evaporation. It is believed that this phenomenon results in the elimination of the problems associated with start-up.
It should also be obvious in view of the above discovery, that components having a lower vapour pressure, such as oleic acid, would be most desirable for use in the invention.
The invention pertains to ink jet formulations and a method for eliminating or substantially reducing start-up problems when an ink jet apparatus is initially discharged. The ink jet ink is formulated to comprise at least two fluid components. The components are matched with respect to either or both of their vapour pressures and/or boiling points. These parameters are matched to provide an ink whose components have substantially similar evaporation rates. Thus, the initial ink formulator will be maintained despite evaporation of each component from the ink.
When an ink jet ink is so formulated, the tendency for the ink jet apparatus to improperly discharge during initial start-up will be substantially reduced or eliminated.
Non-aqueous, oil-based ink components with low evaporation rates are preferred in the invention, such as oleic acid, castor oil, etc.
Matching components for such oil-based components can be aromatic ethers or high molecular weight alcohols.
Another component of such an ink formulation may by a pyrrolidone.
Naturally, such ink formulations must contain a dye component.
The ink jet ink is preferred to have a surface tension of at least approximately 35 dynes/cm at operating temperature.
The invention can be utilized with a wide variety of apparatuses, and the inventive formulations are not limited to any specific types or classes of fluid components, in so far as they are each matched to provide the benefits and purposes of the described invention.
It is an object of this invention to provide an ink jet ink and method for substantially eliminating or at least reducing the tendency of an ink jet apparatus to improperly discharge during initial start-up.
The above object and other such objects will be better understood and will become more apparent with reference to the following detailed description.
Generally speaking the invention features ink jet ink formulations and a method for substantially eliminating or at least reducing some or all of the problems associated with improper discharge of the ink jet apparatus during initial start-up.
Each fluid component of the ink is matched with other components of the ink with respect to its vapour pressure and/or boiling point. This will provide an ink whose components all evaporate at substantially the same rate.
The following typical ink jet inks in Table I below, have been formulated to substantially reduce or eliminate start-up problems. Each formulation has components that are matched to provide similar evaporation rates.

"My Week with Marilyn" chronicles a week in the life of Marilyn Monroe in which she escapes the shackles of her Hollywood career and embraces British life with Colin Clark. Directed by Simon Curtis and produced by David Parfitt, the film is based on Colin Clark's diaries and has been adapted for the screen by Adrian Hodges.
In the early summer of 1956, 23 year-old Colin Clark, just down from Oxford and determined to make his way in the film business, worked as a lowly assistant on the set of The Prince and the Showgirl, the film that famously united Sir Laurence Olivier and Marilyn Monroe, who was also on honeymoon with her new husband, the playwright Arthur Miller.
Nearly 40 years on, his diary account "The Prince, the Showgirl and Me" was published, but one week was missing and this was published some years later as "My Week with Marilyn" - this is the story of that week. When Arthur Miller leaves England, the coast is clear for Colin to introduce Marilyn to some of the pleasures of British life; an idyllic week in which he escorted a Monroe desperate to get away from her retinue of Hollywood hangers-on and the pressures of work.

Quite expensive for what it is but the park is lovely and we would definitely consider another holiday there
Very quiet site during our stay, not a lot of facilities on site, but site is great if you want fishing and a relaxing time.
The Park and Chestnut 2 lodge was lovely. The only downside was the bed was so hard it felt like lying on a quilt on the floor! And the WiFi is turned of at night.
Very good
very nice and relaxing, will go back
We stayed in Haughmond Lodge (18) the lodge was lovely and big. I was a little disappointed that the hot tub was on the side so it was quite open, although we didn't get disturbed, and it also says to not go in the hot tub after dusk, but we did as that is the only time we wanted to use it. Also the smoke alarm directly above the oven was a bit of a problem. Although the lodge was lovely and I would stay here again.
Lovely clean and spacious log cabin, beautiful surroundings and very friendly site. It was great and only a short drive from amenities. Would recommend this place, hot tub isn't as private as I liked but still private enough and a great added bonus.
Nice place. Helpful staff. Quiet.
If you just want to escape for a few days this is the perfect place. Good food, lovely pool and the lodges are perfect.
Lovely countryside surroundings and easy to get around in the car. Only disappointment is the restaurant is not big enough and struggled to book in to get a place. Overall though, beautiful place.
The park initially sounded what we wanted , however upon arrival there where too many rules, regulations and extra charges given to us in the information booklet that we hadn't been informed about beforehand. There was a charge for using the main pool, you were not allowed to bring friends to visit for the day unless you paid an extra charge and usage of the hot tub was not allowed after dusk!! thats the time to use it most. We felt as though we were being watched by park staff .
Amazing relaxing weekend break
Beautiful place to stay, everything was perfect for us. We have booked again for next year
After a hectic few weeks before we arrived, this was a lovely caravan to stay in and just relax for the first couple of days. (After that, there were plenty of places to visit around the area).

Skelaxin - what is the best muscle relaxer for someone who has had a stroke?
- Posted:

Answers (1)
2 Apr 2012
Skelaxin is a prescription muscle relaxant. It is approved for use in combination with rest, physical therapy, and other treatments for relieving the pain associated with short-term "musculoskeletal conditions," such as muscle spasms due to an injury.
Since you mention a stroke to be involved, it would be best to seek medical advice before you use Skelaxin.
Take care, best wishes!
Yea the Dr she is seeing gave her a RX for Skelaxin, she has also tried Datrium and is now on backlifin. I just wanted to know which is best. The Skelaxin seem to work the best although the datrium and backlifin were very small doses.
Welcome, importantly is too be well, take care!

I just replaced the old cracked coil - no luck, still does it. Looking at cleaning all the electrical contacts next. Who thinks its the Hall sensor, as I am starting to lean in that direction?
Somebody give His Excellence Datchew a call. We might have another potential member of the points cult.
To answer your question, what you describe DOES sound like a hall sensor failure. The only other possibilities are a bad ICU or a faulty connection somewhere. The only sure fire way to check either the ICU or hall sensor are substituting known good units unfortunately. Got a buddy with an airhead? Do these problems only show up after a lengthy warm up?
Try cleaning the battery posts as well as the big ground wire where it attaches to the transmission. That came loose and caused me to die in the middle of the night once. That sucked. Easy fix though. Is your entire bike shutting down, or just the ignition? Do indicator lights and headlight still work when it dies?

Midway basketball game moved to Sunday
Said Ford: "Fans of college basketball, and of San Diego State and Syracuse, will find the game."
The 5,200-seat temporary stadium on the Midway is close to sold out, with only a limited number of $500 sideline tickets remaining. Gates will open at 10 a.m. Sunday.
The best news for the Aztecs might be that, even if they had avoided the rain Friday, they won't have to deal with the predicted 30-mph wind gusts while shooting over Syracuse's vaunted 2-3 zone. Now they'll have less wind but more sunshine.
"Playing outside, it will be different for sure," Fisher said. "I keep referencing last year, when Michigan State was 2-for-20 from 3-point range (against North Carolina in the Carrier Classic). Syracuse is going to make us shoot some threes, and hopefully we'll make a few of them. But we'll have to do more than just shoot threes.
"You can't worry about the weather. You can't worry about the wind. You have to go out and play."

CINCINNATI — Mike Leake improved from his last start. Against the Milwaukee Brewers this weekend, that wasn't enough.
Rookie Taylor Jungmann allowed four hits in eight innings and the Brewers extended their winning streak to eight games with a 6-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday.
Leake (5-5) lost for the first time since May 27. He was 3-0 in six June starts.
Leake allowed eight hits and three runs with three walks and four strikeouts in six innings.
"They're a hot team right now," Leake said. "They're finding holes. They were fouling off good pitches and made it tough on me. They made me pay for mistakes."
In his previous start, Leake gave up seven runs in four innings in a no-decision against Minnesota.
Gerardo Parra and Adam Lind hit seventh-inning home runs for the Brewers, who finished off their second undefeated road trip of at least seven games in franchise history.
It's the Brewers' longest winning streak since they won nine in a row in April 2014.
Jungmann, who made his major league debut on June 9, retired the first 12 batters before Jay Bruce led off the fifth with a double into the right-field corner.
Bruce went to third when Shane Peterson trapped Marlon Byrd's line drive single to left. The Reds, hitting just .212 with runners in scoring position, didn't take advantage.
Ivan De Jesus Jr. hit a one-hopper to third that forced Byrd with Bruce holding. Tucker Barnhart hit into a double play when Jungmann deflected the ball hit up the middle.
"We need to do better at doing the little thing," manager Bryan Price said. "It is something you say when you get outplayed and get drubbed."
Jungmann (3-1) lost his shutout when Skip Schumaker scored from first on Brandon Phillips' double with two outs in the eighth on a ball that left fielder Peterson had in his glove before slamming into the wall.
Milwaukee also went 7-0 on a road trip in 2008, sweeping three in San Francisco and four in St. Louis from July 18 through July 24.
It was Milwaukee's first sweep in Cincinnati since a three-game series on Sept. 16-18, 2011.
Aramis Ramirez gave Milwaukee a 1-0 lead and extended his hitting streak to eight games with a two-out RBI single in the first inning — the sixth time the Brewers scored in the first inning on the seven-game road trip.
Brewers: CF Carlos Gomez sat out with a bruised left wrist after being hit by a pitch that forced him to leave Saturday's game in the fifth inning. "I don't think he's going to miss much time," manager Craig Counsell said.
Reds: LHP Tony Cingrani is scheduled to make the next appearance of his rehab assignment on Tuesday for Triple-A Louisville. The Reds hope to get Cingrani stretched out enough to fill a variety of roles, including possibly starting, Price said.
Brewers: Milwaukee returns home for a series against Atlanta. RHP Kyle Lohse (5-9, 6.24 ERA) is scheduled to start on Monday.
Reds: Begin a six-game road trip with the first of three on Monday against the Nationals, who were swept in three games at Cincinnati in May. Anthony DeSclafani (5-6, 3.63) is Monday's scheduled starter.
Reds CF Jason Bourgeois made his first start since Sept. 28. He sustained a small fracture in his shoulder in spring training. He was activated on June 28.
Byrd extended his hitting streak to 10 games with two of the Reds' four hits. He is hitting .341 during the streak, raising his average to a season-high .244.

Token - 1 Penny, Thomas Stokes, Diesinker, Token Maker & Medallist, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 1862 Reg. No: NU 11554
- Summary:
- Copper one Penny token, minted by Thomas Stokes of Melbourne, circa 1862. Issued by Thomas Stokes, Diesinker, Token Maker & Medallist, Melbourne. This token is one of the large number of anonymous tokens struck by Stokes late in 1862. Anonymous issues were manufactured employing two stock dies. Thomas Stokes migrated to Australia in search of gold in the 1850s, being unsuccessful he returned to his trade as a die-maker and button maker. In 1857 Stokes acquired a press from W.J. Taylor and began to mint large numbers of tradesmen's tokens. He also commenced the Australian Medallic Issues. In 1873 Stokes took a partner, Martin, and the business was re-named Stokes & Martin. In 1893 a disastrous fire damaged a large portion of the business, Martin had forgotten to renew the fire insurance policy, and the partnership was dissolved as a result. Stokes rebuilt the business as Stokes & Son. The business became a proprietary concern in 1911, re-named Stokes & Son Pty Ltd. In 1935 the business moved to Brunswick, and in 1962 Stokes became a public company, renamed Stokes (Australasia) Pty Ltd. Today the business is located in Ringwood.
- Description:
- A round copper token (34 mm diameter) giving the name, address and business of the mint (& issuer?) : Thomas Stokes, 100 Collins St. East, Melbourne, military ornament, button and token maker. The reverse is from a stock wheat sheaf die: at centre a wheat sheaf tied with a cord, above, ADVANCE AUSTRALIA; below, 1862.

Stokes products which do not carry the name of an issuer but only reference to Stokes itself, are divided into four series:
Series 1: has the wording T. STOKES or THOMAS STOKES MAKER MELBOURNE around the address in three lines 100 COLLINS ST. EAST plus one die where the central wording is ONE PENNY TOKEN in two lines.
Series 2: has a description of the types of product, eg. BUTTON CHECK & TOKEN MAKER, around the name and address of the company, T. STOKES 100 COLLINS ST. EAST MELBOURNE. All but one die in this series has a line circle between the name and address and the products.
Series 3: employs Stokes stock reverse dies for both sides of the token. In all cases one side has a Vine type, this is therefore called the obverse.
Series 4: has an obverse legend in eight lines with the first, T. STOKES, and last, MELBOURNE, curved.
This token belongs to Series 2 with Obverse L.
Within this series there were eight obverse dies all employed with stock 1862 reverse dies. The different obverse forms are generally easy to identify. All have the legend T. STOKES / 100 / COLLINS ST. / EAST / MELBOURNE. With the exception of dies D and C (which is not known from an 1862 strike), all have a line circle around this legend - obverse D has MELBOURNE at the rim.

The Hire More Heroes Act is misguided. There is no veterans' unemployment crisis.
"Americans may be shocked to learn that there is no veterans' unemployment crisis. The unemployment rate in 2014 for post-9/11 veterans was 7.2 percent, the lowest level in seven years of tracking these veterans. "
What Government Should Actually Do To Support Veterans' Employment
"The latest crisis at the Department of Veterans Affairs has called into question again the proper role of government in the care of our veterans. Whereas healthcare is clearly in shambles, veterans' employment is another realm in which well-meaning government involvement has been inefficient at best and ineffective or counterproductive at worst. "
Employment and Returning Veterans
"Peter Gudmundsson talked about the availability of jobs for returning service members."
The four myths and opportunities of hiring veterans today
"In an era when "support our troops" bumper stickers are common and billboards and radio advertisements abound with rallying calls to give veterans a job, it is not surprising that many employers are overwhelmed and confused. Good intentions permeate most efforts to employ veterans at the national, state and local levels."
Beyond Altruism
"Among the fondest memories Peter Gudmundsson '85 has of his three years as an active-duty U.S. Marine officer was the time in 1987 when, off the coast of Vietnam, he stood on the deck of a U.S. Navy ship looking up at the Soviet planes flying overhead. What was particularly memorable, he says, was not the plane flying overhead, but the reaction of the men in his platoon"
Money For Lunch
"Money for Lunch host Bert Martinez interviewed Peter Gudmundsson. Discussed veteran hiring."
Helping veterans overcome job search challenges
"Mike Rollins is featured on America Now. Recently, America Now visited a RecruitMilitary job fair held at the Hurst Conference Center in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. "
Job fair for veterans being held at LP Field today
"NBC 4 (WSMV) Nashville - The Hiring Our Heroes event will host 28 companies looking for new employees. Businesses scheduled to attend include Amazon, Verizon, insurance companies and several colleges. "
Job fair helps provide Smooth Takeoff
"Ft. Campbell Courier - Veterans, service members preparing to leave the U.S. Armed Forces and many military Family members are looking for a Smooth Takeoff, something that will help them transition into the civilian job sector. One opportunity for a Smooth Takeoff is coming to Nashville from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. Jan. 24 at L.P. Field."
Career fair offers opportunities for returning vets
"By Juanita Cousins A group of Nashvillians that often struggles with the transition from Humvees and rifles to sedans and pens may receive a boost this week. The Nashville RecruitMilitary Veteran Opportunity Expo takes place tomorrow at LP Field. Five hundred veterans and military service members and their family members are expected to gather for the career fair designed to match them w..."
Veterans have harder time finding jobs: Job training, other programs are available
"By Getahn Ward America's military veterans may rate as heroes willing to put their lives on the line during wartime, but at home they face a higher-than-average unemployment rate and a tough time transferring the skills they learn in the service to the private sector. And with more veterans seeking jobs after returning from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan — and federal government efforts t..."
Nashville jobless numbers improve - 52 Tennessee counties see gains in December
"By Randy McClain A job fair for men and women with military backgrounds hosted by RecruitMilitary LLC. was held Thursday afternoon at LP Field, near downtown Nashville, on Thursday. Unemployment figures for December show that in the Nashville metropolitan area, roughly 3,500 more people had jobs in December than a month earlier. Gains were slight in December, but at least the jobless num..."
TN veterans face tough battle to find employment
"By Naomi Snyder Terry Pack was an aircraft mechanic serving in the Army in Iraq, spending two of the last six years in combat overseas. Now that he's done his service for the country, he can't even get a job doing oil changes at Sears. "It's tough,'' said the unemployed Clarksville veteran, who was honorably discharged in January. "I've been looking for any job." A congressional hea..."
Veterans and Jobs
"Matt Murphy, RecruitMilitary's Senior VP of Business Development and Sales is a guest on Washington Journal to talk about a recent report that shows the jobless rate for veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars is over eleven percent. He talks about connecting employers, educational institutions, and franchisors to veterans because of their character, skills and training, diversity, and securi..."

Chino Shorts 19 19
Not Good for Me Did not fit right and had to send back. Need more words but there is nothing else to say. Waiting for refund March 16, 2015
Straighforward Modest Shorts Love the length, sturdy fabric. Most of the time, I wear a "4" and sometimes a "6". The 4 was snug in the waist, forming the dreaded "muffin" and too short in the rise so I am exchanging for a 6. February 6, 2015
Great sale price Nice print and lined with a soft cotton. Sized up to a 10, fit is a little big but will work. 100% cotton, may shrink a bit if put in dryer. September 23, 2014
Love these shorts Just ordered my third pair of these shorts. The fit is perfect for me. Length is just right for my 5'7", 150 lb frame. I ordered the size 12 and agree with some other reviewers the legs seemed too wide at first. I washed and dried and they are perfect now. Love the lemongrass and pink flowered print. Waiting on the green gray now. Got them all on sale so very happy with the value on these well made shorts. August 9, 2014
Go To shorts I have these shorts in several colors. They fit well and wash well. I wear them almost every weekend! July 10, 2014
Green shorts are great but white too small! I bought both the lemongrass and white shorts. The green (lemongrass) fit perfectly and my normal size (4). The white pair was to small! It's like I needed a larger size just for that color! Too bad, because the ones that fit are a nice fabric and cut. July 4, 2014

Hot answers tagged grease
Yes you need to replace the grease when you replace the boot. That grease lubricates the joint, if you don't have enough inside the boot the joint can fail prematurely. On a side note don't use one of the quick boots (the ones designed to be put on without taking the CV joint off of the car), in my experience they are worthless. Here is an example of a ...
Remove the shaft, and throw the boot away. Clean out the old dirty grease, after cleaning the part of course, and replace both the grease and boot. This gives you a chance to inspect the joint, and clean up any dirt residue that will speed up the deterioration of the CV joint.
I have never had problems with corrosion so I have not used dielectric grease on any of my car's battery terminals. If the battery already has corrosion on the terminals, then I would recommend disconnecting the terminals using a wire brush to clean off the buildup and then reconnecting the leads. If there is no corrosion then I would recommend just ...
I'm not sure how long any sort of grease would last before it worked its way out? I'd be tempted to go for a more mechanical solution (if you have access to appropriate tools, or a frielndly machine shop) - drill a small hole in the socket and tap it to a suitable thread, then insert a grub screw to bear onto the side of the ball and stop it moving. That ...
I would apply a light coating of white lithium grease. It is thin enough that it it won't be wiped off the shaft sliding through the bearings. It also is resistant to getting washed off by rain or routine washing. The light coating of grease should keep the shaft from seizing in the bearings.
You state the mirrors are anodized aluminum, but if the ball or socket are steel, you might try (gasp) intentionally rusting one of the surfaces. Here's one technique for accomplishing that.
Low-tech fix: If you can find a way to grip it, you may be able to use a hammer and drift punch or very small chisel in order to pound/indent the lip of the socket (hole) inward toward the hole which has the effect of squeezing the socket tighter around the ball. Probably hard to do, but worth a mention.
Evaporated / sprayed electrolyte is corrosive. If you see corrosion on the battery posts, the leads, or in the vicinity, that's why. A layer of silicone dielectric grease over the exposed metal parts will protect them. I especially like to get some on the threads of screws in that area, to make sure they come apart easily in the future. You want as much ...
I always use brake cleaner for all metal parts, some of which could be related to actual brakes. It's good for for anything from gears to axles, bearing races, rotors.
You lube the bearings until all the old grease is out. Can't really tell if 14oz is enough, but if using one of those fancy repackers, it might be. If replacing all together, just make sure there is enough grease in them. Some come pre-greased, but I would repack anyways. Can never really tell how long they been sitting in a parts room.
This is an educated assumption... In geology a mineral's hardness is measured according to different scales. A common one is Mohs scale of hardness, which ranks minerals from softest (talc) to hardest (diamond). The only way a mineral can scratch the other, is for the mohs hardness value to be higher. Now, according to the link: Graphite - 1.5 Copper - 3 ...
More than likely the problem is a leaky valve cover gasket. It's just something which happens over time. The old one becomes hard and cracks, thus oil starts dripping. Over time, this collects on the different parts with whatever amount of dirt is available and, voila! You have gunk all over the place. First thing to do is thoroughly clean the affected area ...
You should not need any more grease than what it takes to pack the bearing itself. Packing the entire wheel hub assembly is not only a waste, it's also not wise. When you go to change bearings or repack them in the future, you'll need to clean all of that old grease out. This is not a good idea. As an aside, I pack new bearings which may or may not have been ...
If you're greasing bearings, the rule of thumb you can fall back on is to apply as much grease as you would apply frosting on a cupcake (don't be silly, you know exactly what I mean). Excess grease will be expelled while you're tightening the retainer nut anyway.
I'm not familiar with your piece of equipment, but in general, yes it's okay to clean an engine compartment. Just don't use an inflammable degreaser. I like Krud Kutter or Simple Green at full concentration. Let it sit a few minutes then spray it down with a hose. Keep in mind afterwards you might want to spray some clean oil wherever there are moving parts ...
By all means yes. It is a good practice to grease the axle prior installation.

Like a classic jigsaw puzzle, the Kansas City Chiefs have many of the pieces to make a Superbowl run. But also like every jigsaw puzzle, if you are missing, even one piece, you cannot complete the puzzle. You can't compensate for the lack of a missing piece, and you can't force a piece in if it doesn't fit.
The Chiefs have a lot of the puzzle pieces nicely put together.
Consider the defensive puzzle. Traditionally, you start a puzzle from the outside and work your way in. In football terms that means starting with the coach and working your way to the details on the field. Romeo Crennel, is considered one of the best defensive minds in the NFL.… Read more

Meet Rosie O'Donnell's New Girlfriend
Kachtick-Anders is active in lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender parenting and adoption issues. She launched Open Arms Campaign, a non-profit organization to recruit and foster adoptive families that targets the LGBT community.
"I have become an activist and work to educate everyone, not only about the plight of foster children," she wrote on TheRainbowBabies.com, "but also the inequality that faces LGBT people in their quest to create families."
Kachtick-Anders has six children, five of whom are adopted, according to the Examiner.com.
The two met through O'Donnell's blog, says Perez Hilton.

I really don't care who someone loves.. I don't care if you are gay, straight, black, white green or whatever... The fact is I just can't stand Rosie O'Doughnut.. I personally think she is void of any talent and she is with out a doubt the most annoying "celeb" out there...She opens her mouth and talks without a clue..She continues to look like a bag woman regardless of the money she has.. She isn't funny and if I was a gay woman she would not get a second glance from me... Just my opinion...

- Thursday 31 DecemberBy Joe
Just another reason why same sex couples should not be allowed to adopt. The kids were going to be confused enough already! Now they will really be confused. If you want to be gay that's your right, but don't teach the kids to be gay before they have a chance to make up their own minds, and YES, that's exactly what the kids are learning when adopted by same sex couples. Being gay is NOT ok. It's your right as an American, but that doesn't make it right morally. And no I'm not a religious freak. If men were meant to bang other men, there would be no women, and vice-versa. It's just unnatural!
- Thursday 31 DecemberBy Joy
So, our alternative is to let our children be raised by folks like you who use terms like "bang other men", and believe we teach our children to be gay? What, do we give them lessons on feather boas and track lighting in between episodes of Sesame Street? Show the girls how to wear flannel and spit and buy the boys tiaras? Your post only proves that unfortunately the most ignorant voices are the loudest.
- Thursday 31 DecemberBy seneca627
No Joy, but a kid watching 2 women being affectionate is enough to confuse them. If you want to be a carpet muncher that's your business. Don't force it on the kids. And what I say here doesn't mean I would say it in front of a kid. Do you curse when kids aren't around but check your language when kids are present? And please don't try to use my logic for your cause. Even if you don't show gay affection in front of the kid, the kid will be smart enough to realize what is going on when you both go to bed in the same room, and there;s only one bed in there.
- Thursday 31 DecemberBy Fricky
Joe...are you F*@#in kidding me??? You seriously think children can be taught to be gay?? What rock did you crawl out from under? Please, for the love of everything that is holy, DO NOT BREED!!!!!!

FRICKY, yes, in that environment you are teaching your kids that it's ok to be gay. YOU are the one who shouldn't breed.
- Friday 01 JanuaryBy fricky
Joe, there's absolutely nothing wrong with being gay. It's nothing you can teach anyone...period. My parents are a wonderful, heterosexual couple who have been married for over 45 yrs. If there were any truth to your reasoning, then by all means, I should be straight after having watched them. I've known I was homosexual since I was at least eight years old. It's never been, nor will it ever be, a choice - FOR ANYONE! Don't worry Joe, I promise I won't have any children...I'd hate to think they would grow up in a world with folks as ignorant as you. Oh, and as someone who's been in law enforcement for over 14 years, I'd like to thank all of you heterosexuals for never doing anything wrong. Nope...there's definitely no straight folks out there molesting and raping poor, innocent children - only the evil gays! You "staights" just keep doing it right...that 50% divorce rate is just a myth, right? Really, all of us gay people should learn from you so we can mess up our lives as well.

As Rosie said in a recent Howard Stern interview. She and Kelli were married in California, but the marriage was annulled by the state in a blanket undoing of all unions that took place during a specific time period. So in answer to the people who are incorrectly answering their own question: She is not legally married.(Thanks to homophobes like you.)

Summer Knight (Dresden Files, Book 4) (edition 2002)
by Jim Butcher
Work details
Summer Knight by Jim Butcher
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Summer Knight is a very interesting read, though the storyline could have developed a little faster-paced, since I, personally, was too bored through some chapters. That said, the storyline itself was great - captivating and full of twists, my favorite kind. Though it could have been just as great without that Wal-Mart debacle, and those completely useless and boring characters, Meryl, Fix and Ace. The war between Summer and Winter was a great idea, as well as the White Council's coming to town. And I loved the fact that Harry finally told Murphy everything - she was less a cop and more a friend in Summer Knight. All in all, a very enjoyable read.
This series just keeps getting better and better! In this fourth installment Harry Dresden has to not only deal with the Wizard's White Council and the Vampire's Red Court, but the Fairy Courts of Summer and Winter. He has to do a nearly impossible job for the Winter Queen and if he fails that then he will be revoked of his wizard status by the White Council, who would in turn hand him over to the Red Court to end the wizard vampire feud. No matter which way he turns, Harry runs into boatloads of trouble. He has to call on Billy and his werewolf gang to help him, but then he is worried about jeopardizing their lives. And to top it all off, someone who he hasn't seen in over a decade waltzes back into his life. Non-stop action and the creepy crawlies keep getting scarier. Well worth a read or listen :)
This was an enlightening installment in that we got to learn more about the major powerhouses that make up this universe: the fae, the White Council of wizards, and the vampires. I enjoyed the previous book slightly more than this one because it was high on humour, and even though SUMMER KNIGHT did have its moments, it was primarily plot driven. Additional info about Harry's past comes to light including what went wrong with his first love, Elaine, and his humble beginnings as an apprentice. Learning the ins and the outs of the various courts' politics was interesting, and I'm beginning to look forward to the secondary characters' antics almost as much as Dresden's. James Marsters really brings this series to the next level with his over-the-top creature voices, and by nailing Harry's blasé attitude. NEXT!
I liked the story. Great action. Great characters. I want to read more. I like the fact that each story has a conclusion.I look forward to the next one.
