Division One
April 12, 1986
Today's FreezeFrame takes us back to the 1985/86 season, which proved to be a disappointing campaign for the Club.
Two defeats in the opening three league matches proved a portent of things to come for Don Howe's side, although by mid-October the Gunners had dragged their way up the table into fourth position.
However, defeats to Nottingham Forest and Everton checked their momentum and the side continued to struggle for consistency over Christmas and New Year.
Despite a run of four successive victories, Howe resigned in March 1986 and the Club had to wait until May to appoint his permanent successor - George Graham.
By the time Arsenal headed into this match, they had sunk to sixth in Division One and faced the prospect of playing arguably the strongest side in Everton's history and a team who had topped the table for some time.
Caretaker manager Steve Burtenshaw faced a major challenge, but despite his and his team's best efforts they slipped to a 1-0 defeat, courtesy of an Adrian Heath goal.
The Gunners' inconsistency plagued them for the rest of the season, as victories against Chelsea and Birmingham were negated by losses to Sheffield Wednesday and Oxford and they finished in seventh spot.
Today's FreezeFrame image shows Ian Allinson, Viv Anderson and Martin Keown in action during the match at Highbury.

At the risk of being branded for heresy, I have to say this...I don't understand the overwhelmingly positive reviews of the OSCP. IMHO, the OSCP training is far from perfect - there is plenty of room for improvement.
I've finished the core modules of the OSCP and am working through the labs at the moment. I would have to say that, instructionally speaking, the quality level could best be described as uneven. There are some excellent modules (BoFs to name one) but there are also some modules that fall short.

A History of Transplantation Immunology. Leslie Brent. 482 pp. Academic Press, 1997. $54.95.
Students and scholars in all fields of immunology will find this thorough and critical review of the important literature associated with the science of transplantation immunology indispensable. And most fortunately, this high-quality text is moderately priced so that all can afford it. In view of current interest in solving immunological problems that will ultimately permit the successful use of animal organs for transplantation into human beings, this book may also be of interest beyond the field of immunology. It certainly provides useful background and references to bioethicists just entering the field of cross-species (xenogeneic) transplantation.
Leslie Brent has been intimately involved in the field of transplantation almost from the beginning of its modern history, and he is able to provide a very personal and informed perspective on its development. The text is quite thorough, and it includes over 3,000 references associated with its 11 chapters, which even taken alone make the book worth its purchase price to scientists who are actively working in the field. By including at the end of each chapter photographs and short biographies of major contributors to the literature, the author makes the point that the accomplishments reviewed did not just happen but were the product of exhaustive work and dedication by many specific individuals. It is refreshing to find a scientific review that includes this perspective on the scientists who have been involved in producing the work, as well as on the work itself, because it reminds the reader that the history of transplantation immunology is represented not solely in the journal articles referenced but also in the lives of the men and women who produced those publications. The book details the history of a science, but it is also a human history in which the reader is made aware that human pride, jealousy and bias very much affected what appeared in print.
A History of Transplantation Immunology's chapters first address what the author perceives to be the landmarks in the field, and then discuss the scientific basis for allograft rejection (why your sibling's kidney can't just be sewn into you without problems), blood groups and associated diseases of the neonate (Rh factor), and the genetics of histocompatibility. These chapters are followed by reviews of the current understanding of tolerance of transplanted tissues, the regulation of immune responsiveness and clinical approaches used to suppress graft rejection. The text ends with chapters on bone-marrow transplantation, xenotransplantation and reproductive immunology, focusing on the fetal-maternal relationship.
The author completes the book with something of an apologia in which he summarizes the importance of work in the field of transplantation immunology to our current understanding of broader immunological issues, as well as the importance of animal research to past and future discoveries. Finally he concludes with reference to ethical issues involved in organ transplantation, stating that discussion of this topic is beyond the scope of his book. Despite this disclaimer, Brent obviously hopes that his text will provide a springboard for discussion by ethicists on the science and clinical practice of transplantation and induce scholarly consideration of the ethical issues being created by the technological advances in this field.
In spite of the thoroughness of the text, some immunologists will invariably feel that their contribution was overlooked or not emphasized enough; an author of such a historical review can hardly avoid such perceived slights. Even so, Brent valiantly tries to give an honest and balanced presentation and is quite successful in its achievement. Some readers may feel that the work of Medawar, Billingham and Brent receives undo emphasis, which, if true, is a forgivable failing (although from my perspective, the contributions of Medawar and his associates cannot be overemphasized).
The book is so successful in addressing its objective that the author can hardly be faulted for failing to give an in-depth discussion of the role transplantation immunology played in the rather recent creation of legislation, rules, heightened concern and awareness of misconduct in science. But readers familiar with the "Summerlin case" will be disappointed by the author's terse review of the infamous work at the Sloan-Kettering Institute and Cancer Center in the 1970s, with the simple statement that Summerlin's findings "seem to have involved some fraudulent activity." The scandal, which involved a young physician in training attempting to demonstrate an astounding advance in allogeneic transplantation, broke when Dr. W. T. Summerlin admitted to using a black-ink marker to color the fur of white mice to fool his colleagues into believing the dyed fur was successfully transplanted skin from genetically unrelated mice. The accompanying photograph, which is prominently displayed on the book's cover, comes from the author's own laboratory. It shows a mouse with a successful skin transplant and represents a popular animal model used by transplantation immunologists 30 years ago. But it may remind older readers of the Summerlin incident, which was certainly a dark aspect of the history of transplantation.
It is understandable that the author did not want to expound on the Summerlin case. However, this embarrassment to immunologists has had as profound an effect on all of science as the advances in transplantation immunity have had on medicine. The event was key because it raised the consciousness of the professionals themselves about the possibility of fraud. Since that time careers have been damaged, studies of scientific misconduct on a broader scale initiated—a new office at the National Institutes of Health was established to investigate accusations of fraud (its staff has grown in size annually)—and journal editors sensitized to its possibility. In turn they have instituted safeguards for their publications. Social scientists have built careers on studies of fraud in scientific research, attorneys have established reputations in defending accused scientists, and Sigma Xi and other national and international scientific organizations have organized symposia and produced publications on scientific ethics.
Although this cautionary message should be heeded by all working scientists, the real tone of this book is one of hope.The author clearly wants his treatise to be a summary and overview of the many important discoveries in transplantation immunology this century and of their broader positive effect on science and medicine generally, and he accomplishes this goal admirably. After finishing the book, immunologists and others will be left with the feeling that the day will soon come when a person—whose heart, pancreas, liver or lungs have been destroyed by viral infection, cancer or by years of cystic fibrosis—can schedule surgery to receive a porcine organ instead of waiting a long time for a potential human donor to die even as the candidate's own health deteriorates.—Philip B.

U14 Colorado Rush Nike and U15 National team player Victor Rolph recently had the chance to interview current Colorado Rapid and reigning MLS Cup MVP Conor Casey about his time playing with the Rush. Vic is following in many of Conor's footsteps (Rush, Youth National teams, dreams of playing in Europe, etc.) and the two met up at the Colorado Rush Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony of Conor's former teammate Todd Dunivant.
VR: What does it mean to you to be here tonight (teammate Todd Dunivant's election into the Colorado Rush Hall of Fame)?
CC: It's awesome. A few years ago I was inducted into the Rush Hall of fame and it was a great event. Tonight is bigger than a few years ago and its great to see somebody like Todd up there being recognized and just seeing the number of people who have come out to this event.
What was your best memory of playing for the Rush?
When I was U15, we won 5-0 in the regional championship. That was really the only thing I had ever wanted on a youth level. So that was a pretty amazing moment for us and to be able to win a trophy with all of your buddies it was pretty cool.
Who was your favorite coach at Rush?
Wow that's a tough one. Really there were two. Denger (Dave Dengerink who is now Director of Academy at Texas Rush) was my coach for 3 years and before that Tim Schulz, I used to sneak away from school during the day to go train with Tim. He would set up a little field and we'd train. They both had just a huge impact on me.
Do you still talk with your Rush teammates?
Yeah I do. You know I see Todd throughout the year, and the other guys I will run into here and there. I'm still fairly close with five or six of them, which is quite a lot considering all the years that have passed.
What is it like playing against Todd in the MLS?
It's cool. It's really just enjoyable. Its fun when you know someone when your younger and now we are playing in front of big crowds and I think for both of us it is just a special feeling to compete against each other.
What was the most memorable goal you've ever scored?
I'd have to say last year in the MLS Cup. It was memorable in the fashion that it was done but also in that it was in a winner and it was the first time I'd ever won anything in my life. So for those reasons I think of it was my most important goal.
What was it like winning the MLS Cup? What was going through your mind?
It was just pure joy and a little bit of relief. I've played for 10 years and never won and after awhile you get that little bit of doubt in your head of 'Will I even win anything?' So to have that monkey off of my back and a lot of the guys on the team, playing with guys in the club. Really all those things made it special.
You played in Germany prior to the MLS. Tell me a bit about that experience.
It was a great experience. I went there when I was 19. To some extent, I grew up there. I lived there by myself. It was grueling it was hard, both the soccer and the lifestyle. I improved a lot. When I came back it was really just excitement to live in the United States again.
When did you feel becoming a pro was a possibility?
I think going into college, I had it in my mind that that's what I wanted to do. You never really know if you'll make it or not but I think late high school years I started to think of it as a possibility.
How did the college experience fit in with going pro?
Really more than anything college is why I'm here, Clive Charles who's since past, was the coach there. He recruited me and turned me into a pro because I wasn't when I went there, just in terms of off the field stuff more than on the field. Just how to act like a professional, how to present yourself. He was really tantamount to where I am in my career.
When was the first time you were called into the national team and what was that like?
Well I played in the youth ranks since about 16-17 and the first call in to the Men's team at about 19. There are always nerves, a lot of nerves. You always want to impress. Impress the coaches and impress your teammates so they know what to expect.
You scored some big goals for the US during World Cup Qualifying. How did it feel to score for your country?
It was amazing. We played a game in Honduras to qualify for the World Cup. And it was my first goals ever for the National team and kind of a coming out game for me. It was a really cool feeling to celebrate qualifying for a World Cup with all those guys who had worked so hard to get there. It was awesome!
(Click here to see highlights of the game)
What is it like for you preparing for games?
You know I don't really sweat it. I sleep. I sleep all day long. There's a couple butterfly's for big games but after enough of them you just kind of get in a routine of being rested and going out and having fun and try to enjoy it. You want to go out and do well but in the end it is just a game and you need to enjoy it along the way. You've just got to go in to each game with confidence. Know that you are always going to make mistakes, always. So there's no point in sweating it. You can evaluate yourself after words but have fun.
What piece of advice would you give to a young player with dreams of playing professionally?
It's tough to give one piece of advice. You see a lot of different players that have come down different paths. But one thing that I've seen from a lot of players that I've played with is the passion to want to improve and enjoy the process of improving.

Hey, welcome back. Hope U keep managing to drop in on occasion
Been somewhat uneventful, in the shooting department. Still shoot 200-300 rounds each Saturday, just to keep in form.
My daughter's car blew the engine last week and I've been her transportation and advisor while she replaced that. She ended up buying a 2003 Ford Mustang, to "keep up her image."
Attended funeral of a dear friend of ours at chuch last week. This was for the wife of some friends of ous. She had suffered a brain hemorrage on Saturday and died early Tuesday morning.
She and her husband had lived for many years in Rochester, New York, both working for Eastman Kodak. He had once considered becoming a gunsmith and had studied under Doug Turnbull.
My mother-in-law had a plumbing emergency on the day I thought I finally had for myself. Ended up rebuilding a kitchen faucet for her.
Starting to think about a new project. I have a Ruger Bisley in .45 Colt that was originally a Blackhawk. Now thinking of going back to Blackhawk configuration. Found out the Bisley is not exactly the sauce for my BBQ.
The Rugers I reported on under Ruger Gunsmithing, re-aliging the barrels, still are right-on, the Loc-Tite still holding the barrels against rotation. This was the penetrating Loc-Tite for use with parts already assembled.
Miss reading your posts on a daily basis, but I can get by the library or Old Folk's Center to access a computer, so I'm not dead in the water.

Monterey Peninsula Unified School District trustees will take at least another week to decide how to proceed in the search for a new superintendent.
At the end of meeting in closed session for about two hours on Monday, they announced that "we discussed all of our options and the final candidates for the position. No decision has been made tonight," the board announced in a prepared statement.
Board President Jon Hill had said the options for the board included continuing with the same process or starting over. Before the meeting began, about 15 district employees and community members gave their opinions on how the district should move forward, and trustees listened to that too, Hill said.
"That's the good news," he said. "We're listening very carefully."
Employees rang a conciliatory note as they spoke during open comment session. Most thanked the trustees for listening to their concerns and not hiring their top choice. Alain Guevara, assistant superintendent for instructional support services at Lake Elsinore Unified School District, was tapped to become the next superintendent at the April 22 board meeting before his involvement in a sexual harassment lawsuit surfaced.
Concerned about the allegations, 200 people packed that meeting, urging trustees not to proceed with the hire. Trustees decided to table the appointment, and Guevara ultimately withdrew his application late Saturday.
At Monday's meeting, most speakers sounded eager to move forward. Besides thanking the board for listening to them, many urged trustees to find a leader with local ties, and asked them to get to know the personnel better.
"First of all, a big thank you for listening to us," said Terri Pipes, a teacher at Seaside High. "Your job is hard, probably incredibly time consuming. To sit and listen to all of us, you probably want to say stuff and you can't. I appreciate that you listened to us."
Allyson Schweifler, president of the Monterey Bay Teachers Association, urged trustees not to dismiss the frustration teachers voiced a week earlier.
"If there is commonality among the conversations and frustration, then, perhaps, there's something to it and we should not dismiss it," Schweifler read from a prepared statement. "I think the frustrations came to a head last week after brewing for many years. Unfortunately, those frustrations had previously fallen on deaf ears."
Joe Sampson, an English Learner and intervention coordinator, said he's seen the result of inconsistent leadership, and described visionary leaders he's seen in the district — people not everyone always agreed with, but were trusted enough make change possible.
"We have incredible administrators in our midst, leaders who know our families and our students," he said.
Mary Claypool, who represents Seaside on the Monterey County Board of Education, asked trustees to proceed with caution and do things right this time.
"The community and the students deserve the most qualified candidate," she said. "Don't use convenience if they're not the right ones. Take the time to go out and start the process again. You owe it to the community to do the right thing. Give us the most qualified candidate you can find."
Jill Lowe, who's worked in district for 21 years, said she was surprised to learn from The Herald how startled trustees were to see the community's reaction to their top pick.
"It's a demonstration of the need for communication in this district," Lowe said. "I was saying that when I was president (of the teacher's union) three years ago. Several speakers have told you about the need for transparency, communication and inclusion."
Lowe urged trustees to look at internal candidates and work on mending fences.
"It's time to work on healing this district," she said. "The first way to do that is show up in our classrooms, getting to know us, getting to know your classified staff, not just the principals and administrators, but getting to know us as your employees."
The discussion in closed session brought trustees closer to making a decision, Hill said, and they'll expect to make an announcement at the next board meeting, scheduled for May 7.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I had to wait on more fabric from Whims and it came in the mail today. I'm about to start putting appliques on the daffodils. Hope you like this one.
I have those Delphiniums!! :D They are my favorite flower!! During Activity Period today, I showed some students your beautiful blocks. The boys LOVED them... one wanted to know if you had done tulips, so we were happy to search back a page and find yours!!!
With your permission, I'll post photos of some Delphiniums from my garden--they are a color match to yours!!! :D
The anticipation of seeing these blocks together in a quilt is a killer. All of your block are amazing.
Please do post them here. I'd love to see the real thing. Glad the kids liked the flowers. Thanks for showing them..
I asked the kids if they wanted to see my latest squares... and they loved them, then I said "oh wait till you see these!" and showed them yours... it was the boys who hung around asking questions and asking to see more. :D
I couldn't believe you matched colors to the real thing so well...
Not in your quilt, but thought I'd include these.
I can't WAIT to see this quilt!
Wow those are so beautiful. Thanks for posting them. Some of them look pretty delicate. I LOVE EM!!!
You even got the buds perfectly! :D
Gee thanks. Never seen them before just the pictures I have.


text: My wifes grandfather was a beek which added to my decision to make it my favorite hobby. Some of his honey has been on a shelf in a dark room in the basement for over 30 years. It is dark and crystallized. He used everything to jar his honey, jars from peanut butter, molasses, oj.... For those of you who are concerned about the taste, here is an idea. My wife read that the old crystallized honey is a great exfoliate and moisturizer. So, occasionally, she'll bring it in the shower, grab a handful, rub it all over her legs to exfoliate and moisturize. The hot water rinses it off and I can tell you first hand, it does the job.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thanks for all the information. I'll mix up some aged tap with grocery store water and some regular tap with grocery store water and see how my results change.
As I wrote in an earlier post, I'm a bit wary of various methods used to modify pH/GH/KH because I'd be worried about swings or crashes. I'd much rather just have a fairly consistent set of parameters, preferably ones generally amenable to a larger variety of fauna.
My tap water is 7.6 with very high kh and gh, I have kept a few species of fish and plants fine. My lfs keep almost everything in tap water. A few people on this forum were astonished that anything stays alive in my tanks lol maybe post what you are planning on keeping if you haven't already.
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2
My tap (well) is high Co2 / low O2. I don't have the room to age water, but I aerate it heavily on filling by partially closing the fill end of my water changer (makes it frothy), adding above the water line and running a large bubble wand during filling.
Ps: Diana - off-topic - you turned me onto Seachem Equalibrium on another thread - been working great, thanks!
I think it is the sodium hydroxide that is raising the pH a bit.
In my tanks I have a high cationic exchange capacity substrate, and I think it also removes the sodium hydroxide, but I have no test.
I know it removes the carbonates.
The pH can go from the upper 7s (tap) to bottom of the test (6.0 or lower) and the KH drops from 4 or 5 dKH out of the tap to zero.
As noted much earlier in this thread:
Almost all aquarium plants are just fine in a very wide range of pH and mineral levels. There are very few that are so picky that you must give them really soft, acidic water. Do not go to that effort until you have a year or more of keeping planted tanks.
Almost all the hatchery raised fish will handle a wider range of mineral levels (GH is the most important) than their ancestors. So keeping them in water that is just a bit higher than the 'optimum' range is not going to be a problem for most fish. Certainly there are some fish that really do thrive only within a set range, and if your goal is to keep these species you will want to maintain the water that way.
If you want to, you could make a blend of your tap water and the bottled water, if your target parameters are somewhere in between the two.
Some water, confined to pipes, can be higher or lower in CO2 than water in equilibrium with the air. When such water is tested for pH right out of the tap it can be either high pH (holding less CO2) or low pH (Holding more CO2). When this water sits out overnight, or is aerated for half an hour or so the water will reach equilibrium with the air, gaining or losing CO2. Then the pH will change. If this is going on with your water it is a simple matter to age the water overnight before doing a water change.
If there is something else going on, such as the water company adding something like sodium hydroxide, you can figure out a way to remove it, or not. It is up to you. Many, many people keep fish and plants in water that is not optimum, but the stable conditions are best, rather than trying to alter something, but not doing it very well, creating variable conditions.
The worst of these is varying levels of TDS.
Fish regulate their cell water, salt and mineral content, and get used to doing it with water at a certain TDS level. When that level changes they need to alter their metabolism to maintain osmotic balance. This is not easy for them to do, and takes up to a month. Small changes in TDS, carried out over several weeks can acclimate the fish to significantly higher or lower levels much safer than a short drip acclimation.

Also, depending on what you decide to keep in your tank, you can use either the tap, the store water, or a combo of both.

just throwing this out there, i have water that comes outta the tap at pH=7.6 but after a night in the tank it rises about 8!
Im not sciencey, but what i understand is that the filter aerating the water is what raises it..
maybe try sticking an air stone in a cup of tap water, then test it after a day to see if the pH changed.
That's interesting to know about Prime. I already have my bottle because I wanted to take advantage of free shipping with a massive order. Is there somewhere you know offhand that I can read a bit more about how Prime affects ammonia readings?
Regarding chloramines: My water authority disinfects intake with either chlorine or sodium hypochlorite (bleach.) After filtration with activated carbon and sands they add sodium hypochlorite or chlorine, fluoride, and sometimes sodium hydroxide and orthophosphates, depending on the source.
Bluek24a4: My highest pH reading was with the high pH kit, at 7.8. My lowest reading was 7.6 using the low pH kit.
If your municipal water system uses choramines rather than chlorine your tap may very well read at .25ppm ammonia as well, or I've been told in some places higher.
My tap always reads at .25 ppm.
Beware that if you use seachem prime water conditioner (which is the best IMO) your readings for in the tank ammonia will be affected.
This is just a warning for the future.
I have had the ammonia test give me an off reading once or twice which is what I thought might have happened to you. I think it just happens sometimes. That high of a pH might mean that your KH/GH could be high also. We'll have to wait until you get those test kits to find out for sure.
So was your pH at the highest on the regular pH test and the lowest on the high range test kit?
Lets reconvene back here in the morning.
|Good call! The actual pH is 7.8. Ammonia was 0ppm this time--I must have miscounted drops or something silly.
|That was the regular pH kit. I'll go do the high range and repeat the ammonia test.
Is that using the regular pH test kit or the high range one?
Try the ammonia test one more time to make sure.

Marine allegedly coerced into sex act explains why he didn't leave
JACKSONVILLE, ONSLOW COUNTY - A Marine who was allegedly lured into a Jacksonville home via social media and coerced to perform a sex act is giving his take on what happened.
NewsChannel 12 spoke with the young Camp Lejeune Marine, whose identity will not be released due to the nature of the alleged crime. The Marine said he is not the first victim of the suspect, 24-year-old Patrick Francois Georges, who has been charged with extortion and crime against nature.
"He was an expert at this. This wasn't his first rodeo," the Marine said.
According to warrants from the Jacksonville Police Department, the investigation began when the Marine told officers Wednesday that he had met a person he thought was a female on the social networking site, MeetMe.com. The Marine said he agreed to meet this person at a home on King Street in Jacksonville.
The Marine said once he arrived at the home Tuesday night, he got a text message telling him to go inside.
"She texted me. She was like, 'Oh, wait on the porch for a second while I put my daughter to bed.' So I was like, 'Alright.' I texted her back. I was like, 'Can I come in yet? It's freezing.' Because it was really cold at the time.' Then, she was like, 'Just come in, sit on the couch,'" the Marine told NewsChannel 12.
After the Marine entered, there was no woman. Instead, Georges approached him and accused him of breaking into the residence, according to the warrants.
Georges claimed the Marine broke into the home because the front door was locked, and a back-and-forth argument between him and the Marine lasted for about an hour, the warrants stated. The Marine told Georges he did did not break in, and even showed Georges the messages that he exchanged with the supposed female he met online, the warrants continued.
"I was like, 'Look, it's a whole big misunderstanding. Can I go? You don't have to call the cops or anything. I didn't come over meaning any harm. So just kind of let me go, you know?' And he was like, 'No, you just broke into my house,'" the Marine told NewsChannel 12.
The Marine said Georges then threatened to call police if the Marine didn't agree to perform a sex act, the warrants stated. The Marine told investigators he eventually complied in fear that Georges would call authorities to report the supposed break-in.
The Marine explained why he didn't just walk out of the home.
"Especially if I did flee the scene, [the police would believe him]. It's like, only a criminal would flee the scene," said the Marine.
The Marine told NewsChannel 12 he left the home after performing the sex act and got into a cab.
"My cab driver told me that he had seen multiple Marines come into contact with this guy and have the same situation," the Marine said.
The Marine explained that was what made him decide to go to police, to prevent another person from becoming a victim.
Investigators said they executed a search warrant at George's home and found enough evidence to arrest him Wednesday. He was charged with extortion and crime against nature, and has since bonded out of the Onslow County Detention Center.
NewsChannel 12 attempted to reach the suspect at his residence, but he was not home. He lives with his grandparents, who said the accusations are false.
After this story aired, a second Camp Lejeune Marine came forward and told NewsChannel 12 he was also a victim. CLICK HERE to read what he had to say.

Direct deposit: Students receive funds faster
By Diana Valle
Business Policy Writer and Web Coordinator, Office of the Associate Vice President for Financial Affairs
(Feb. 9, 2009)--UTSA students can have non-payroll refunds and reimbursements sent directly to their bank accounts because of a streamlined refund system in the UTSA Office of Financial Services (OFS).

- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society

The number of students requesting direct deposit refunds increased 16 percent this semester, which can be attributed to a new online authorization form, as well as several creative promotional efforts by OFS staff members.
"Our participation rate has been stable for several years, so this is a pretty big jump," said Gary Lott, UTSA director of financial services and bursar.
OFS launched an online form in the ASAP online information system, allowing students to add, modify and delete their refunds and reimbursements in real time via direct deposit. This replaced the old process of printing out a form, turning it into financial services and then waiting for it to be manually processed.
"With this process, students can set up direct deposit themselves as long as they do it before the next check run starts processing. They'll be picked up in the very next run," said Lott.
Debbie Riley, UTSA associate bursar, designed and distributed t-shirts to financial services staff members, who wear them on selected days, such as the first day of classes and payment deadline days. She also participates in student orientation activities promoting direct deposit. "I encouraged direct deposit to approximately 200 students," said Riley.
"Debbie also worked with a vendor to print pencils and pens with a message encouraging direct deposit, and we're distributing them during peak times when a number of students are in line," said Lott.
>> To sign up, modify or delete direct deposit, students can visit ASAP -- and no forms are necessary.

Student Research Opportunities
Research Overview
Research is a key component of our degree programs and takes place throughout the calendar year. By working closely with faculty members in generating new scientific knowledge, students gain critical skills that will prepare them for future careers in chemistry, biochemistry/biotechnology, physics, material science, and earth and space sciences.
Students get involved in research through several different mechanisms. Many perform research as part of an independent studies project to receive college credits. In the summer, summer undergraduate research fellowships (SURF) are available through various federal and state sources. In recent years, faculty members have received financial support for research from National Institute of Health (via RI-INBRE), National Science Foundation (via RI-EPSCoR), the State of Rhode Island (via STAC) and the Rhode Island College Faculty Research Fund.

My duaghter (13) has gotten interested in candlemaking and I would like to get her a good candle-making book. Recommendations appreciated - everything from beginner to advanced (may get multiple books).
Seperaste question - we made our first molded candles over the weekend. Bought a mold that is 2" dameter by 4" tall.
I had wax culled from my hives over the past year sorted into white (cappings) and yellow (brood comb, etc...).
We made a white and a yellow candle using wicks from the local art store (not sure of the wick size, but I would guestimate about 1/16" diameter).
The yellow candle burns perfectly - about 1/2" flame and the wick height remains about 3/8" above the surface of the wax.
The white candle is not wicking properly - the wick has burned down to a nub about 1/8" above the wax surface and the flame eventually goes out. I have inserted a new wick (melted in a hole from above and inserted it down) from exacly the same wick string as the yellow candle and the same thing has happened (so differences in the specific wick cannot be the explanation).
Is there a difference in the way white beeswax and yellow beeswax from the same beehive burn? If the wick is burining down and out, what does that mean - that the wax is wicking more slowly? Should I use a larger diameter wick with the white wax candle?
p.s. I guess it's clear why we need a book now

How to set a laptop so you can find it after it has been stolen
I was wondering how I could recover my laptop in the event it gets stolen. What I mean is by being pro-active, I am sure I could install a few things so as soon as the thief connects to the internet, I would know where my laptop is.
Of course, I will record the serial number and the keep the specs in a safe place, but what else? I guess I would need a service on my main server and a client on the laptop that connects to it. I was thinking of:
1- Have a secure SSH server (with certificates, etc) on my laptop
2- Have a client application also on the laptop that will "ping" one of my servers regularly so I can get the ip address.
3- Encrypt personal information on my hard drive to limit the lost
If my laptop gets stolen, all I would have to do is:
1- Wait for a ping
2- Once I have the ip, ssh to my laptop and start having fun!
BTW, I have dual boot Linux and Windows 7. So the solution must work in both OS. Last thing, I assume the thief is a regular Joe Blow who will try to surf the internet without formating the laptop.
What do you guys think?

Residual Lead In Kilns
Posted 04 March 2010 - 02:21 PM
I understand lead, when fired, gives off vapor and what not that effectively settles into a kiln making it unsuitable for use in firing functional ware. Is there any way to test a kiln for this? I have been looking for used kilns but many people are unaware of exactly what might have been fired in them. If lead is in the kiln is there a way to remove the lead, seal it or do something to the kiln as to make it usable again for food ware?
Also, do other toxic materials such as Barium and Cadmium result in the same leaching and adhering to a kiln causing it to potentially pass into other ceramics meant for food? Thank you for your time and help!
Can anyone weigh in?

I'm not sure what it would take for lead to become vapor in a kiln (its boiling point is 1470 C), but one could use a lead test kit (the same kind that's available for testing paint) to see if a kiln is contaminated with lead. If it is, there is nothing I know of that will mitigate it. My suggestion would be to take the lead test kit along and test the kiln before purchasing.
The only way to actually test for whether or not lead would make it into your ware is to fire the kiln with a glaze that contains no lead or cadmium or any other material you don't want. Then have that same ware leach tested by a lab for each material you are concerned about. You would need to make the test vessels to the lab's specifications.
It is probably best to test the kiln before you buy it with a lead test kit, as Sherman suggested. But you can get rid of lead in a kiln by firing a container of nepheline syenite to absorb it. The container can be made of clay and should be about as big as the inside of the kiln. Put Nepheline Syenite into the container and then fire 270 degrees (F) per hour to 2000 degrees F. Hold for two hours. After firing dispose of the Neph Sy properly. This process doesn't guarantee that all of the lead will be absorbed so you should still have your ware leach tested by a lab!
Here is a list of people who provide these services:

Pulaski Technical College will open registration for new students for the fall 2013 semester from June 3 to Aug. 15.
Classes begin Monday, Aug. 19.
Fall registration begins earlier this year due to changes in the college's admission policies. Beginning this year, all students who have never attended college are required to meet minimum reading scores on the ACT or COMPASS assessment. Students who do not meet the minimum scores to be admitted will be referred to resources on campus or in the community to improve their skills and be prepared to take the COMPASS again. The college offers an online COMPASS preparation course to any student. Also, all new students will be required to complete an online student orientation.
"We're starting our registration process much earlier this year due to the admission policy changes and to allow our students time to complete the process and to receive one-on-one advising before registering for classes," said Beth Trafford, dean of enrollment services.
New students should complete an online application to the college and submit all required admission documents before Aug. 7, including high school transcripts and college transcripts before registering.
Students can register in the Campus Center on Pulaski Tech's main campus at 3000 West Scenic Drive in North Little Rock or at the Little Rock-South site at 13000 Interstate 30. The hours are 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m. on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays, and 8:30 a.m.-6 p.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
First-time college students must apply and submit all required admissions documents by August 7 in order to enroll for the fall term, and can schedule an appointment with an academic advisor for assistance with course selection and registration from June 3-August 15. Transfer and other students will also schedule advising appointments after all required admissions documents have been submitted. Day and evening appointments are available at both the Main campus in North Little Rock and at Little Rock-South.
Students registering must have submitted a signed financial aid award letter, paid in full or established a payment plan by the end of registration on Aug. 15 to secure their registration.

What is polio?
Poliomyelitis (polio, for short) is a serious illness that can cause paralysis (when you can't move your arms and legs) or even death. Polio is caused by a virus. The virus can be spread by drinking water with the polio virus in it. It can also be passed by close contact, such as kissing, with an infected person. Before the first polio vaccine was developed in the 1950s, thousands of children got polio every year. Fortunately, the use of the polio vaccine has made the disease very rare in most parts of the world.
How can polio be prevented?
You can keep your children from getting polio by making sure they get the polio vaccine.
What is the polio vaccine?
A vaccine is used to protect you from getting a disease. The polio vaccine, also called IPV, is given by injection (a "shot"). (It used to be given by drops in the mouth.)
When should my child be vaccinated?
Most children get 4 doses of polio vaccine on this schedule:
- First dose when they are 2 months old.
- Second dose when they are 4 months old.
- Third dose when they are 6 to 18 months old.
- Last dose when they are 4 to 6 years old.
Are there reasons not to get polio shots?
Your child should not get the polio shots if he or she is allergic to these medicines: neomycin, streptomycin or polymyxin B.
What are the risks of the vaccine?
Most people have no problems. Some people will have some pain or redness where the shot was given. Vaccines carry a small risk of serious harm, such as a severe allergic reaction.
The polio vaccine doesn't cause polio.
What if my child has a reaction to the vaccine?
If your child has any reaction after getting the polio vaccine, call your doctor as soon as possible. In addition, if your child gets hives (swelling, itching and a burning sensation of the skin), has problems breathing, or goes into shock (becomes weak, faint, cold, clammy and sweaty), call 911 or take your child to a hospital emergency room. Be sure to tell the doctors caring for your child the day and time your child received the vaccine. Ask your doctor to file a Vaccine Adverse Event Report form with the CDC, or you can do it yourself by calling 800-822-7967.
A note about vaccines
Sometimes the amount of a certain vaccine cannot keep up with the number of people who need it. More info…

A serial murderer known only by a grotesquely apt nickname - Buffalo Bill - is stalking women. He has a purpose, but no one can fathom it, for the bodies are discovered in different states. Clarice Starling, a young trainee at the FBI Academy, is surprised to be summoned by Jack Crawford, chief of the Bureau's Behavioral Science section. Her assignment: to interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter - Hannibal the Cannibal - who is kept under close watch in the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane.
Dr. Lecter is a former psychiatrist with a grisly history, unusual tastes, and an intense curiosity about the darker corners of the mind. His intimate understanding of the killer and of Clarice herself form the core of Thomas Harris' The Silence of the Lambs - and ingenious, masterfully written book and an unforgettable classic of suspense fiction.
©1998 Thomas Harris (P)2011 Simon & Schuster
"Kathy Bates makes it sound so real you'll be looking over your shoulder for days." (Washington Post Book World)

"Much more than the movie"
I have always felt this is one of the few movies faithful to the book. But one must listen to the hypnotic narration by Frank Muller for a different take on the story. It would be ludicrous to summarize this tale, we all know it. But there are some aspects of the book that just could not fit into the time limit of the movie. The FBI bureaucracy and it's internal politics makes the listener fear the investigation will suddenly come to a screeching halt. The book shows how Agent Starling is willing to put her career on the line to stop the killing. It also deals with the terminal illness of Jack Crawford's wife and the stress it puts him under. The biggest difference between book and movie is that Buffalo Bill is actually more terrifying and sinister that Hannibal Lecter. Buffalo Bill is still on the loose(for most of the novel) and still on a killing spree. In the end Clarice Starling is the more interesting character, not Hannibal the Cannibal, because of her constant fight against a law enforcement world dominated by men and her ability to change, grow and thrive in it.
Let's face it, these authors aren't paying me, so there's no need to lie!!
"If It's Possible for a Narrator to be DESTINED..."
Frank Muller was DESTINED to read this book to us. Plain and simple. The book itself is brilliant, but his reading takes it to a level that I didn't even think was possible! He nails Lector, and is PERFECT as Buffalo Bill (the other bad guy). By the way, to have TWO characters as iconic as Hannibal Lector and Buffalo Bill in the same book is quite an accomplishment unto itself. They are so different, and yet so perfectly dark in all the right ways. I found myself laughing quite a bit at Buffalo Bill's lines, but that's even more credit to how superb Muller's reading was.
If you loved the movie...even if you JUST WATCHED the movie... get this audiobook! It is top 5 on Audible, in my opinion.
If I'm not reading, I'm listening.
"Frank Muller IS Hannibal Lector"
The narrator
Hannibal. He's such a messed up dude.
When Hannibal remembers back to killing the sailor.
Frank Muller made Hannibal a detailed, flesh and blood creature. As good as or better than Anthony Hopkins.

While listening to the book, I was astounded by how much the film diminished Starling's strength of character and, to a great extent, altered the story line entirely. As is often the case, the movie doesn't hold a candle to the book. Until I listened to Mr Muller narrate the book, the movie was a favorite of mine. Mr. Muller's narration was excellent - one of the best audio book performers I've listened to thus far. I wish he would narrate the others in the Hanibal series as well - what a treat that'd be.
"A masterpiece"
I read the book decades ago, but my memory of the story comes from the Jodie Foster film -- which I thought was way beyond scary and absolutely excellent. Could be that it was, but this audiobook is far superior. The story itself is extremely innovative with provocative main characters and a host of colorful second-tier players, enough to make it a great book all by itself, but Frank Muller's narration makes it simply perfect. I don't know how he does it, but in some of the unbelievably tense scenes, I realize I'm sitting with every muscle ready to spring. The pure evil Muller brings out of the scenes, just by voice alone, is amazing -- the Radio Spirits people, who talk about 'the theater of the mind' could have been talking about this audiobook. You hear the words, but because of the excellent narration, the scenes that play in your mind are better than any film could be. I know this is a book I will listen to again and again -- and I'm sure, on subsequent listens, I will discover even more things about it than I saw this first time. It's a true classic, in every sense.
"Enjoyable, even if seen the movie"
I have seen the movie several times, and i still enjoyed the book. Naturally, book provides detail that movie skipped. Hannibal is just as scary if not more that Frank Muller does an amazing job. I highly recommend this book.
Thanks and respect to the women that served and paid a high price. You are still gorgeous Shi; your scars make you even more beautiful.
"One of the Best Thrillers Ever"
The works of Thomas Harris, particularly those in the Hannibal Lecter series are works of art in the thriller/ terror field. I'm certain that the plot of this book has been recapped enough that it isn't necessary that I do another one. The genius of Hannibal Lecter and the factors that made him who he is; related in the book Hannibal Rising; are a fascinating study into the nature/nurture duality. This is the second book in the series and the first that presents Lecter in any depth. In Red Dragon he was just a malevolent evil in the background; this book focused attention on him in greater depth and presented him in more complexity. The sense of justice, albeit a totally over the top sense that occurs due to Migs due to his rudeness to Starling in the corridor; in which he convinces him to do what he did to himself. The insight he has into what drives others made him an excellent therapist. It's the effects of his experiences that compel him to use the information given to him by these patients to exact a justice far more severe than anyone but him would consider appropriate.
Though the concept of a trainee chasing a serial killer is clearly ludicrous it works as a literary device. The wide eyed innocence of a young woman when contrasted with the cynicism of those around her makes for excellent literature. This is the penultimate Lecter story and for anyone not repulsed or offended by the novel's violence it's a can't miss listen.
"Bravura Performance of an outstanding work."
Sometimes, the total of something is greater than the sum of its parts, and the discovery of such turns out to be an experience of pure joy; particularly for the rarity of the occurrence. As an avid audio book listener, I have been delighted to find that this is often the case with practically every performance by the late, great, Frank Muller. This chilling and profoundly interesting story is enhanced by the excellent performance (yet again!), by Frank Muller. When Frank passed a couple of years back as the result of a tragic motorcycle accident, the world lost a true virtuoso artist. I cannot adequately praise this particular combination of reading performance and subject material in a mere review; one must experience it for themselves, but I promise anyone who embarks on this work a truly a wonderful listen. I often do repeat listens to Frank Muller's performances and this one does not lose its edge even after many listens over the years. This is one of Audible's offerings which I must recommend most highly.
Other stupendous works by Frank Muller in which the performance and material merge into pure art transcending the separate components:
"1984" by George Orwell. "The Green Mile", "The Talisman" and others by Stephen King.
"The Hunt for Red October" by Tom Clancy, "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens, a couple of novels by John LeCarre, and the Vampire Chronicles ("Interview with a Vampire", "The Vampire Lestat", "The Queen of the Damned" and "The Tale of the Body Thief") by Anne Rice.
I heartily recommend any and all of Frank Muller's performances which are available on Audible. There are several here, and I am aware of none which would disappoint. Further, I wish that Audible could finally add all of the above and indeed all of Frank's performances (of which several are yet unavailable through Audible) to their library so that the legacy and art of one of the World's most outstanding audio book performers could be easily accessible to discerning audio book aficionados for generations to come.
I am a 67 year old psychologist. I have been married for 28 years, with two sons who are 27 and 24. I love listening to the books.
"Frank Muller was a genius. I still miss him."
This audiobook is thrilling, brilliant, very scary and it will get to you, no matter how worldly you are. No one has ever narrated like Frank. The plot goes a long way to scare the bejeebers out of you, and it succeeds wildly. Thomas Harris wrote one masterpiece, and this is it. The movie was perhaps the scariest thing I've seen, although I do remember not being able to watch several scenes from "Alien." To hear Frank voice these characters with all his skills at their peak is a delight that one wants to share with the world. I wonder if Jodie Foster has listened to Frank. If not, it might thrill her to hear a man with a voice so convincing, so deep and vivid that one almost forgets that he's a man. The adventure that the book develops is so frightening that you can't stop listening. You just can't believe that the villain will nab another innocent young woman. (No details, in case you don't already know the plot, although these are hard to omit.)
This is one of the few audiobooks that I will return to, again and again, over years of listening to other books. When eighteen months or so goes by, the details of the plot and the nuances of characters vanishes from memory, and listening to the book reveals new thoughts and new sounds. I have heard that the founder of Audible auditioned many readers before he found Frank Muller, and, after listening to Frank read once, he said, "I have a company." This story may well be apocryphal, but, frankly, I don't care. Like "The Testament" (John Grisham) and a couple of Stephen King's books, these are treasures. King is said to have remarked that he wrote for Frank's voice. I believe it. You will love "The Silence of the Lambs." It will stay with you for a very long time.

"Even good on reread!"
Listened for Fun (Audible)
Overall Rating: 4.50
Story Rating: 4.75
Character Rating: 4.25
Audio Rating: 4.00 (not part of the overall rating)
First Thought when Finished: The Silence of the Lambs was a reread for me. However it was the first time I have listened to it--EXCELLENT!
Story Thoughts: I love the Hannibal Lecter series though it has been a long time since I originally read this series. These are still probably some of my favorite thrillers. I wasn't worried about them losing magic on the reread because this is probably my 6th or 7th time reading them. However, listening to them on audiobook was a new experience and I enjoyed it. I had forgotten how creepy, brilliant, and downright spooky Harris' writing could make me feel. From the methodical way that Starling tracked down the killer to the brilliant way Lecter manipulated the situation--I was enthralled even though I knew how it played out. You just can't beat good rhythm in a thriller and Harris has it! LOVED IT!
Character Thoughts: I know you are looking at my character rating and wondering why it isn't higher. To be honest, if I was basing it on Lecter and Starling it would be a 5 straight across the board. However, I usually base part of the character rating in thrillers on the "bad" guy. Buffalo Bill was only interesting because Lecter made him interesting. He just wasn't all that compelling to me and I felt so much more could have been done to give him a personality. He kind of got lost in the brilliance that was Starling and Lecter but I felt he could have been so much more!
Audio Thoughts:
Narrated By Frank Muller/ Length: 10 hrs and 44 mins
I was worried about picking this up in audio after having read it so many times and seeing the movie. However, Frank did an EXCELLENT job bringing the characters of The Silence of the Lambs to life through his narration. His pacing, timing, and creepy factor were just right for this series. The only voice that took awhile to get used to was Starling but after I got there, it was excellent.
Final Thoughts: This is on my series reread list for this year!

Maybe that's why weight is the "standard unit of measurement" for honey.

I suspect that the use of weight has more to do with ancient times when volume was not consistent. Than of course you had false weights as well. But when honey was being stored in hand made clay pots unit of volume could not be used.

The Wikipedia entry for gallon is quite interesting:
Included is a table summarizing the trio of modern gallon standards Mark mentioned, plus a dozen older standards. Keep in mind that if you are collecting taxes (perhaps on alcohol) based on a given volume, there will be intense interest in having a standard that tax collectors and taxpayers alike can reference!
For instance, there is a 4.35 liter gallon described as "Exchequer (Henry VII, 1497, with rim)". Note the 1497 date. FYI, the Exchequer is a government department of the United Kingdom responsible for the management and collection of taxation and other government revenues.
USDA Zone 7A Elevation 1400 ft
wiki was where I got those measurements from.
It makes sense to me that if you are going to tax commodities then standard sizes of containers would be a good way to go about doing that.
A ferkin of beer maybe a different volume from a firkin of some other thing.
Did y'all know that a skep was a unit of measure too? A skep of coal for instance.

Honey Update: from S Kamberg http://www.skamberg.com/
October 2013
Every year, the U.S. honey crop sets the tone for the world raw honey market. As the lions share of the 2013 U.S. honey is still coming in, early projections of a better crop than last year are fading away. Although some hot weather at the end of August into September helped add to the honey production pot, the total crop appears to be less than last years crop. The demand for this honey is very high,. Early price projections of 7% to 8% higher than last year for U.S. raw honey are now looking to be more like 10% to 12% higher.
Subsequent honey crops in the world market will follow the price trend set by U.S honey. The industry is still in a situation of exhausting each world market honey crop as it enters the market. This leaves no carry over honey to fall back on as demand strengthens. Any remnants of honey in the world market are held for higher pricing, usually until the next crop year. As long as demand remains strong, prices will remain firm.
The issues that plague the honey market seem to be world wide: Extreme weather conditions, Colony Collapse Disorder resulting in fewer bee colonies, and reduced forage area for bees to gather nectar for honey. This has resulted in reduced honey crops, and heavy demand for this honey has increased prices.
The 2013 Argentina honey crop is sold with the exception of some remnants that are being held for very high prices. The 2014 Argentina honey crop should enter the market in February 2014. This honey will be in high demand by U.S. and European packers. It is too early for price projections for this honey.
Brazil is producing more and more organic honey which is reducing the volume of the regular crop honey. Organic honey sells at a higher price than the regular honey. Prices for regular Brazilian honey will probably be slightly lower than Argentina honey, but the demand for this honey will be high which could increase prices as we move toward 2014.
The 2013 Vietnam Light Amber honey crop proved to be better than last years crop in both supply and quality. Europe has entered the Vietnamese honey market increasing the demand for this honey. Prices for this honey remained fairly level early on, but with Europe competing for this honey, prices have increased and less Vietnam honey will enter the U.S. market.
The 2013 India honey crop is in, and the crop ended up being about average. Demand for this honey is high. Most of the white honey is already sold. The extra light amber and light amber honey is selling quickly, and the prices for this honey have risen.
Most of the Chinese honey crop was being sold to Europe for the past several years with little legal Chinese honey entering the U.S. market. Europe is now experiencing the pains of purchasing Chinese honey that the U.S felt. Adulteration, substandard quality, and circumvention are rampant. Europe is now shying away from Chinese honey and again focusing on South America for much of their imported honey.
The demand for honey in the U.S continues to grow with some consumption projections exceeding 450 million lbs. The U.S. imported over 300 million lbs. of raw honey last year. With the average production of U. S. honey dropping from 200 million lbs. in 2002 down to about 160 million lbs. today, and demand increasing, continued price pressure for both U.S. and imported honey will continue.
.....and the Australian Honey crop is expected to be below average due to a long dry season on the mainland and an extended wet season in Tasmania
Im hearing reports of good grain crop conditions in Australia, enough so that the price of wheat remains soft. Usually when there is good grain growing conditions there is good honey production conditions.
Ian Steppler >> Canadian Beekeeper's Blog
That late August/early September heat yielded very little out this way. Overall, some of the lightest fall hives I have ever seen. I would guess that over 90% of our production came in about a 3 week period in July. If I had a "way back machine" I would just strip and treat my bees starting the first of August.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
If you ever develop that "way back machine" , Ill be the first to order!
Our honey crop sounds like it was exact opposite to your Jim. We had very little honey collected all July, and got blasted with honey production in August. Nice moderate honey flow in September to help pack the hives with stores
Ian Steppler >> Canadian Beekeeper's Blog
Thanks Max!
also i agree the honey came in fast and short\ mostly basswood. sold 38 drums for 2.15 a lb. no complaints here. i guess ill be around for another year!!

The English (Imperial) gallon is not the same as a USA Gallon. To convert from USA Gallon to an Imperial Gallon multiply by 0.8327. So, that means a 44gal (imperial) drum could hold 52.84 USA Gallons, guess the USA equivalent drum would be 55gal....

There was enough packing inside and she only suffered a bent spool pin. She's 108 years old, I think she deserved better!

More about the extractor..... Well, with the help of WD-40 I've gotten everything loosened up...But; I cannot get the spinning part out...I've disconnected the bolts that hold the top apparatus on, so I thought that all I would need to do is lift it out...I was wrong...I noted that there was a tightening type of bolt down at the bottom, so I got that out...still, I can't get the darned unit out...Does anyone have a clue as to what I am talking about? Please help....Thanks, Min
Not sure I can help with that...I thought they lift out...I'd pull harder.
But I seem to remember someone on here saying that you could remove rust with a battery charger using electrolysis. I always wondered...anybody try it?
Good Luck
Mine sets in a bearing others I have seen have a bushing in the bottom of the extractor or a short shaft that the reel fits over .
Try a local body shop. Maybe someone wants some weekend work. PB Blaster and Kroil are both good penetrating oils. WD-40 is not a penetrating oil.
Well, I hung the extractor from a chain, sprayed penetrating oil around the spindle in the bottom of the tank, and worked it until I lost my patients...then took a hammer to it...down it dropped! Here's the question; in the place where the spindle sat, are a bunch of ballbearings...does anyone know if that spindle had the bearings on the bottom of it, or do the bearings sit down in that sprocket? I guess I have to clean out that area where the ballbearings are, and figure out which way to go to replace it. Sorry if I'm not clear on this.... How do I replace the bearings? Any help would be appreciated... By the way, as someone suggested in a reply eariler, I went to Harbor Freight and bought the media blaster. I think that should do the trick...Thanks. Now that I basically have the thing all apart, it's just a matter of getting the time to work on getting it cleaned up.. Another question comes to mind; after the clean-up, do I seal just the seams, or the entire inside of the tank? Thanks, Min
On many older things the bearings are greased & just sit in the lower race. The upper part you're drum might just ride on the bearings.
I don't know if thats the case with you're machine.
Glad the blaster worked for you.
Thanks for the help....I'll more than likely be posting more questions as I go along here....Didn't do anything with it today...took a ride over to the other coast to watch the shuttle launch....very cool! Min

Send Only Your Best Scores!
GRE® tests all provide the ScoreSelect® option, which means you can take a GRE test once now, or again in the future, and only send the GRE test scores from whichever test date(s) you want schools to see. Best of all, you always have five years to decide. Here's how it works:
On test day, when viewing your scores at the test center*, you can choose not to send your scores at this time OR you can select either option below for each of your four FREE score reports:
- Most Recent — Send your scores from your current test administration.
- All — Send your scores from all General Test administrations in the last five years.
After test day, you can send additional score reports for a fee and select from these options for each report you'd like to send:
- Most Recent — Send your scores from your most recent test administration.
- All — Send your scores from all test administrations in the last five years.
- Any — Send your scores from one OR as many test administrations as you like from the last five years.
No matter which option you choose:
- You will select by specific test dates, so your scores are all from the same testing session.
- The schools you designate will only see the scores that you selected to send them. There will be no special indication if you have taken additional GRE tests.
ScoreSelect Option Availability
The ScoreSelect option is available for both the GRE® General Test and GRE® Subject Tests, and can be used by anyone with reportable scores from the last five years.
Getting Ready
Just knowing you have the option to decide which GRE scores to send to institutions should give you added confidence the first time you take the test. However, if you decide you want to take a GRE test again, that's okay. You can do so once every 21 days, up to five times within any continuous rolling 12-month period (365 days), depending on test center availability.
To help you do your best on test day, you can start getting ready with free and low-cost test preparation materials for the GRE General Test and the GRE Subject Tests — from ETS, the makers of the GRE tests.
