Coakley says no more terrorists in Afghanistan
posted at 10:12 am on January 12, 2010 by Ed Morrissey
Jim Hoft caught this odd statement from Martha Coakley in last night's debate, a moment that went mainly unnoticed before now. While most of the post-debate attention has focused on Scott Brown's Reaganesque moment in declaring that the Senate seat doesn't belong to the Kennedy family or the Democrats but to all Massachusetts voters, Coakley had a Gerald Ford-esque moment on the war in Afghanistan. She declared Afghanistan to be terrorist-free and wants the troops to come home now:
I think we have done what we are going to be able to do in Afghanistan. I think that we should plan an exit strategy. Yes. I'm not sure there is a way to succeed. If the goal was and the mission in Afghanistan was to go in because we believed that the Taliban was giving harbor to terrorists. We supported that. I supported that. They're gone. They're not there anymore.
The timing on this was rather poor, considering the deaths of eight CIA officers in Afghanistan just ten days ago at the hands of a suicide bomber. Jim clips together the suicide bomber's valedictory message made just prior to his attack to underscore the point. The terrorists are definitely still in Afghanistan, both foreign and domestic, and capable of carrying out attacks.
Now, one could make an argument that our presence in Afghanistan provokes terrorist attacks such as the one that killed the eight CIA officers less than two weeks ago. I'd disagree with that — we weren't in Afghanistan until after al-Qaeda firmly established itself there, with the blessing and the bidirectional support of the Taliban government — but it's still an arguable point. Coakley didn't make that argument, however, but instead insisted in quasi-Orwellian fashion that there are no terrorists left in a nation that just had a terrorist attack.
In the 1976 presidential campaign, Gerald Ford lost whatever chance he had for victory by asserting that Poland wasn't under the direction of the Soviet Union, making him look detached from reality and throwing the election to Jimmy Carter. Hopefully, the voters of Massachusetts will make the same determination about Coakley in the aftermath of this debate and send someone much wiser than Carter or Coakley to Washington.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
The general Fink training thread is great, but sometimes I think I want somewhere to retreat to for a bit of reflection on running my own race so not to worry about the people who are swimming 3k, biking oooodles of miles and running 8 mm splits.
And for those of us planning 16 hours + at Outlaw, are going to be seeing a lot of each other on the run so we might as well get to know each other now!
Anyone else care to join me - or is it just me that has the occasional wibble that I'm going to be spending 9 hours on the bike and limping 26.2 miles after?? Thats assuming I don't drown first.
Hello Soup Dragon, glad you created this thread.
I am with you for certain, on speed or lack of. I currently manage 1:10 for 50m swim and have managed 21 mins for 800m as part of Winterswim. My runs are at about 12 to 12.5 min mile pace, so I am aware of the need for a bit of oomph to get me through the swim part within the time limit. My cycling is pants and so I am part of Team "Steady does it with the PSOF", Steve F is my bike leg man, then I am doing the run.
Soupy, I have absolutely no idea how I'm going to do on the day. People ask me what time I'm aiming for and others tell me what pace I should be aiming for in each leg to achieve a competitive result. However, it's all for nothing if I don't finish.
I'll be aiming to get over the line under 17 hours so I can lie in my tent afterwards knowing the training was worth it. If I get out the water in 1:10 (ha!) and grind my bike towards a potential 6 hour split (I can but dream), only to bonk by a grass verge somewhere well before the finish, I could only look back and think it was for nothing.
I hope to finish feeling I am worthy of all the advice and help I got off here. The main advice has been to train to finish, and to 'race' at the pace that will give me the best chance to do that.
I don't know if that helps, but all things being well I'll be meeting you several times along the route.
Slagiatt - I've gone under 16hrs but not by much, can I be included in this group too? Still in for IMW up to now.
"get out of the water in 1:10" - oh ha ha ha - best I've ever managed is 1:48. As you can tell, I'm not much of a swimmer! But swimming's not everything, when I did my 15hrs 51 my swim was a horrible 2:09!
Hurray - I'm not on my own. Welcome to the exclusive club everyone.
TJ1004 - yep thats my attitude, keep training and do my best. I'm sticking to a zone 2 heart rate no matter how slow that makes me because I don't want to burn out or get injured. Better slow and getting to the end than not even making the start line.
I've got a swimming lesson tonight in an endless pool. I'm learning TI and still doing drills. Not even swam more than a 25m length of the pool for the last 4 or 5 weeks. The theory is that while I'm learning a new stroke I don't want to continue to imprint my old inefficient one but its a bit unnerving.
DK - I'm hoping to only be in the saddle for 8 hours! "only" (gulp). But my ride at the weekend averaged 13mph.
I'm sure we can all do this. We might just need to keep reminding each other.
don't panic about not being able to do any of the distances yet. If it's your first one then you won't be able to... that's why you've got months of training ahead of you still to do.
Keep the faith - you can & you will do it! Whether it's pretty or not will depend on how much you give to it - some good DNA helps too
Even more importantly Ive got a chick'in to pay back

text: I noticed a few weeks ago that my rear view mirror keeps "resetting". When it does this it looks like it does when you first start the truck. The compass and temp display ***, the green power light turn on and off, and the passenger airbag "on/off" lights also turn on/off. It only did it a few times and stopped. I have not noticed it again until today. It started doing it every 5 minutes or so. I am wondering if this is a common problem and what the cause may be! My 03 Yukon XL did the same thing. On that truck it was consistent with it being hot outside (above 85 degrees) and when it would "reset" it would do it constantly. When it was cold out it would act as expected. Could it be the temp sensor? Any other ideas? Thanks

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › Zebralight H51 / H31 discontinued
Aug 27, 2013 at 10:29 am #1307001
Stephen MurphyBPL Member
Two weeks ago I purchased one of each of these headlamps directly from Zebralight. They have both received high praise on various web forums, and it happened the manufacturer was having a sale ($49.50 with free shipping). At that price, it was almost in the territory of the Petzl Tikka XP2 lamps, so I jumped. They arrived quickly and I was impressed with the light output ( 200 lm for the H51 and 220 lm for the H31) and the build quality. These are both IPX7 waterproof (2 meters for 30 minutes). They came equipped with headbands, additional O-rings and a "glow in the dark" headband attachment that can be swapped out for the standard black one.
I liked them enough to go back to check on buying another for a gift, only to see them listed as discontinued models ( all variations – flood, neutral white, etc.). Price is $64. It appears Zebralight is focused on their H600 model – cost is $89 – although it was not available for purchase on their website at this time. This light puts out substantially more lumens (1,020) on high and takes a special 18650 size 3.6/3.7V li-ion rechargeable battery which appear to cost $4-$7 per battery plus a charger station.
They still offer the H502 ($64) which takes AA but is a flood design.
Not sure I would ever need 1,020 lumens and I know I am not ready to pay $96 (including battery) for a headlamp. Somewhat surprised that they would discontinue such a popular headlamp – happy I got one when I could.Aug 27, 2013 at 10:39 am #2019038
"Not sure I would ever need 1,020 lumens"
With that much light intensity, you would not need to bring a firearm. You could just blind the bear.

As demonstrated repeatedly in the Men in Black movies, they can be used as a Neuralzyer. Flash the bear with 1,020 lumens and he'll forget what he was going after.Aug 27, 2013 at 11:52 am #2019062

Apparently there is an H52 in the works to replace the H51. No date yet.
The H600 mk2 and H602 are supposed to start shipping mid-Sept.
Seems there is no H32 planned at the moment or other CR123 headlamps.Aug 27, 2013 at 1:32 pm #2019113
Stephen MurphyBPL Member
Many people have good reasons not to buy the H31 version of this lamp based on the need to use CR123 batteries. I don't disagree that these can be expensive or hard to find batteries. But it seems this is only a real concern if your are on an extended thru hike or a poor planner. As to cost, I was able to order a 12 pack of Surefire Lithium 123's for less than $1.70 / battery on Amazon. These have a 10 year shelf life and perform better than alkalines in cold weather. They are also lighter if grams matter. Most of my trips are 2-5 days, and one spare battery gives me enough backup comfort, so I am not worried if the local general store has one.
On the plus side, the H31 is smaller, lighter, and brighter. I thought I would prefer the H51, but the H31 is what I put in my pack.Aug 27, 2013 at 5:10 pm #2019214
I've had the Zebralight SC52 AA flashlight for quite a while now and have been patiently waiting for Zebralight to announce a headlamp version of this light. I'm hoping that the phase out of the old headlamps means that a release is approaching. I've been extremely impressed with the SC52 AA as it takes a single AA battery "or" a 3.7V 14500 Li-ion battery which boosts the already impressive 280 Lm light to 500 Lm for a short period. I really want a headlamp version of this light.Aug 27, 2013 at 6:21 pm #2019238

@mtwardenLocale: Montana
as popular as these lamps have been, I can't imagine that they don't have a replacement(s) waiting on the wings
that said, I have two H31's just in case :)Sep 17, 2013 at 6:22 pm #2025597
I thought I'd post this as a followup to my previous post… I have been waiting for Zebralight to announce a headlamp version of my SC52 AA flashlight. It's the brightest AA flashlight on the market (I own one) and can use the high output lithium 3.7 volt batteries as well as an AA battery (3.7V produces a 1 minute burst at 500 lm and then steps down to 280 lm. With an AA battery it will put out a continuous 280 lm)
Zebralight is now listing the headlamp version (H52w AA Headlamp) which is what I've been waiting for! Unfortunately, it's not available yet but at least it's finally on their website. I'll be hitting the buy button as soon as it's in stock. At 1.1 oz (32 gram) for the light, and 2.9 oz (80 gram) with an Eneloop AA and headband, this is an amazing light.Sep 17, 2013 at 7:23 pm #2025623
The H52 is a few grams lighter (32 vs 37, not counting the 23g strap and battery) but the main advantage seems to be that you can use a AA or 14500 (rechargable lithium) battery. Brightness is up a bit (266lu vs 200lu) and with a 14500 battery is pushes 460lu for up to a minute and then reverts to 266 (probably heat limited).Sep 17, 2013 at 7:26 pm #2025629
"At 1.1 oz (32 gram) for the light, and 2.9 oz (80 gram) with an Eneloop AA and headband, this is an amazing light."
You can save about one ounce by substituting a lighter weight band. I use an old Croakies eyeglass retainer strap on my H501.

@bolsterLocale: Between Jacinto & Gorgonio
Over at CPF, there's something known as the "David T" carry method for zebralights. You get an elasticized finger sleeve (walgreens, amazon). Then thread a flat boot lace through that. Then add a cord lock. The light fits snugly inside the finger sleeve. The flat boot lace goes around your head and the cord lock keeps it secure. Does it sound uncomfortable? It's not!! And it's uber-lightweight, and multi-use. I actually carry my ZL around my neck a lot of the time. Since I use the H502 (flood), aiming it is not very important.Sep 17, 2013 at 11:28 pm #2025696
>> and with a 14500 battery is pushes 460lu for up to a minute and then reverts to 266 (probably heat limited).<<
Dan – I'm not sure where you got your numbers from?
With the 14500 battery the output is 500lm
The max output for an AA and stepped down 14500 is 280lm.
The AA output (280lm) is measured using an Eneloop battery, standard Lithium AA (disposables) will increase the output.
The step down from 500lm is definitely a heat issue but it makes an excellent hand warmer while on high with a 14500 battery running at 500lm. The step down is not really an issue because with my SC52 I can turn it off and back on again and it gives me another minute at 500lm. It doesn't seem to cause an issue to recycle it to high output repeatedly (so far…).
I would agree that the fact that these lights take a 14500 battery or an AA battery is what makes it special. Battery weights vary quite a bit too. A 14500 weighs .7 oz, an Eneloop weighs .9 oz and a Lithium AA (disposable) weighs .5 oz. The light can use them all, so it's nice to have choices (I don't use the Eneloops anymore).
On the weekend I did a 3 day trip and took my SC52 with me. While sitting around camp at night (many hours each night), I put the little light under the edge of the rain fly of my Notch (the light can stand on it's tail) and it provided a great "mood light" (reflected off the fly with a nice glow). The 14500 battery was still registering 3/4 charge at the end of the trip.Sep 18, 2013 at 7:43 am #2025760
It looks like I was looking at the "floody" version, which is 475lm stepping down to 266lm.
It looks like 14500's don't have more capacity than a NiMh AA, so the main advantage is that it can push higher power (due to the higher voltage). That's desirable for some applications, but for hiking one minute of brighter light is a much smaller deal than gaining capacity.Sep 18, 2013 at 6:54 pm #2025992
If output is kept the same (as in running the light at the same output with a 14500 vs NiMH ), then I think you will find that the 14500 will have a greater capacity. You want to look at Watt-hours (Wh) as a comparison not mAh and voltage since the different batteries are running the same light.
I believe the conversion is: Wh = mAh × V / 1000 (electrical engineers please jump in at this point as I'm walking on thin ice here)
My 14500 battery is 3.7 V and 800 mAh so 2.96 Wh
My NiMH battery is 1.2 V and 2000 mAh so 2.4 Wh
So pretty close but the 14500 is slightly higher and a few grams lighter. Of course there are variables like if I run it to 500 lm then everything changes. Voltage conversion may also be another variable in this case. I think my preference for backpacking would be to use Lithium disposables but a tiny little 500 lm light is fun to use so I just keep packing a 14500 battery!Sep 18, 2013 at 9:12 pm #2026032
"I believe the conversion is: Wh = mAh × V / 1000 (electrical engineers please jump in at this point as I'm walking on thin ice here)"
That is valid in general. The m and the /1000 cancel out each other. Otherwise WH=Ah x V
There are several specifications of the Zebralight products that are probably good, but not stated by the vendor.
A lithium primary battery is very good, though, and lighter weight to boot.
–B.G.–Sep 19, 2013 at 4:47 am #2026055
The math looks good. I normally use higher capacity NiMH batteries rather than the slower discharging ones (ie. Eneloop) because I charge them immediately before I head out. So my Duracell ones are 2650 mAh * 1.2 V = 3.18 Wh
It looks like one can buy 900 mAh 14500's, so those would be 3.33 Wh. So there seems to be a small gain in capacity, but probably not much more than 5-10%.
Anyways, it's nice to have options. The capacity of the regular lithium AA's is great (Over 4 Wh), but for cost, hassle and environmental reasons I prefer rechargeables.Sep 27, 2013 at 1:51 pm #2028954

Being the straight shooter I am, I would never consider using an unapproved compound in one of my hives. On the other hand, I have a friend who isn't so proper. My friend applied an oxalic acid dribble to about 15 of his hives yesterday. Afterward he put clean corrugated sheets underneath those with screened bottoms. We stopped by that yard today and pulled sheets from beneath the hives that had screened bottoms. A half a dozen mites here…a few there and I….er… we were beginning to think the whole exercise was a waste until we got to this hive.
Some of the hives had solid bottoms, so we weren't able to look at those but nine had sbb and this was the only one with a big fallout but my-oh-my did they fall out.

Started problem about 3 years ago. Wouldn't start about once every 2 or 3 months. Used quick starting fluid and it would start, then problem would repeat in another 2 or 3 months. Had it to Lincoln dealer twice. They couldn't find anything. Wouldn't start about 6 months ago even with quick starting fluid. Independent shop towed car and replaced fuel pump. Two weeks later wouldn't start. This time it didn't have spark. Called same shop and they replaced flywheel pickup. Two months later car wouldn't start used quick start fuel and it started. Every time, except twice, problem would occur only after the car had sat overnight or longer. In addition, every time except that one time it would always start with quick start fluid.Any suggestions what to look for?
your problem could be your starter relay switch, i have had this problem with a couple of my lincolns and thats what it was, it cost maybe $10 for the switch and is easy to install
I have 2001 lincoln town car which has been running great. I went outside to start it and it turns over and over and will not start. Any suggestions??
I have a 1996 Lincoln Town Car and I have that exact same problem! After it sits for a long period of time, it will start. I drive it to my destination which is around 25 or 30 miles and then shut it off. I try to turn it back on after I shut it off and it turns over very well but it will hardly ever actually fire up! It is very frustrating! I then have to wait 10, 20, even 30 minutes until it starts back up again. I have taken it to many professionals and they cannot figure it out. I even went to an electronic automotive shop and he says there was nothing he could do because it was starting right up for him every time. (As with every other shop I have taken it to.) It has a fuel filter & fuel pump that are just around 6 or 7 months old. I will check the relay switch under my hood. I heard that O'Reillys or Auto Zone can test my computer in my Lincoln and get some sort of flashing light code. I then type that code into google and it will identify the problem and will lead me to a website that have other people who have the same problem and can offer suggestions. I need some serious suggestions on what in the world this could be.
hi... i don't get to this forum much.. but i would throw an ignition switch at it... they are usually around 20 bucks... look like this...i would also rent or buy a scan tool... that displays live data stream.... with that you can monitor the various sensor activity...you can also set it up to record the data stream when the failure happens (Manual record )or when the check engine light turns on .(automatic DTC record.)these ignitions switches can go intermittent ... i have also had intermittent problems with the EFI main relay and with the fuel pump relays... i have had an even harder to find problem .. where the relays have bounced around and loosened the terminals in the relay sockets allowing intermittent contact... think of a power outlet in the wall.. that gets plugged and unplugged dozens of times.. the grip on the sides of the terminal blade is not what it should be... ford actually has a spring scale test with individual terminals to test the grip of the terminals.. after matching them for thickness... i normally use a fine tipped probe behind the tongue of the female terminal to tighten the grip on not just the relay terminals but on the various fuses also...if you have a digital volt meter i have a few more tests for you... if you can get it started....set digital volt meter to 20 volts DC... start engine.. turn on headlights...1. measure between the positive battery post and the negative battery post... 14.1 to 14.7 volts is expected2. measure between the negative battery post and the engine block... 0.04 volts is expected..3. measure between the negative battery post and the body............ 0.02 volts is expected.4... measure between the engine block and the body... ....................0.02 volts is expected...please post what results you get... this test only takes about 2 minutes.. this is where i start at any car that has starting problems...do you carry a timing light???? when it fails.. can you hook the timing light up to any spark plug wire and see if you are getting spark.../??????so far.. i have mentioned that you might want to buy a new ignition switch.. under 20 bucks usually... and IN stock at most parts stores... for some reason... and doing a voltage drop test... cost 0 .. meter .. under 20 bucks if you don't have one..
hello guys I am new here
I have the same exact problem with my Lincoln. Did you ever find a solution? The problem is intermittent for me in that it can start fine for months and then not start after I turn it off and try to restart it. When the problem surfaces, I bring it to the dealer and naturally, it starts every time. I appreciate any insight as it is a very frustrating problem. The AAA guy said it could be the fuel pump. Nick
My car will not start, I have already replaced the battery, alternator, fuel pump relay, and neutral safety switch. I have had someone look at it and he says i am losing power somewhere between the key and the starter, possible electrical problem, please help.
Did you ever get your car fixed?

I've just recently started utilizing yoga on the trail and have been loving it. My knowledge of all the different poses is still very minimal, so if there are any Yogi's out there who have some pose suggestions for on the trail stretches they'd be greatly appreciated-thanks amigosMar 26, 2013 at 2:29 pm #1969825

I don't remember the proper name of it but for hip flexors (heavily used when hiking up hill) I like the pose where you assume the position as if sitting in a chair with one leg crossed over the other.Mar 26, 2013 at 3:41 pm #1969846

I'm new to yoga as well(2 months), on 4/27 my studio is having a seminar on yoga for runners and hikers. I'll report back on what I learn.Apr 1, 2013 at 2:46 am #1971600

Learn the sequence called Surya Namaskara and do this before you set off every day and you will be good to go.
I do it every morning, five times, hiking or not. It streaches every muscle in your body, and regulates breathing.
Once you've done it for a week, you will remember it forever. Memory is ultralight!

This sounds really, really wimpy, but I hike mostly in national parks, with established campsites that are pounded to dust. I don't particularly enjoy rolling around in the dirt. So, does anyone take anything to serve as a yoga mat for the floor poses? Piece of plastic? Polycryo? Just look for a grassy spot when available?Apr 24, 2013 at 8:13 am #1980033

@dipinkLocale: Western Washington
I find it doesn't stretch my hip flexors or adductors/abductors very well. I should say that I am not flexible enough to do Downward Dog with my heels and hands on the floor at the same time. I use (I think it's called) Dying or Wounded Pigeon to stretch out my piriformis, but I don't know a specific Yoga stretch for the Iliotibial band or the hip flexors.
Any suggestions?May 6, 2013 at 1:50 pm #1983805
Randy MartinBPL Member
@randalmartinLocale: Colorado
For hip flexors the Warrior 1 pose is awesome. For an IT band stretch try this
Starting Position: Stand upright and cross your right leg behind your left.
Action: Lean slightly forwards and to your left side until you feel a stretch on the outside of your right leg. Lean on a chair/wall if needed. Hold for 30 secs
In addition, if you have chronic IT band issues I have found the best long term remedy is to strengthen you legs through a squats, lunges etc…and then build up further with shorter, medium, longer hikes. You can also use a foam roller on it occasionally.Jun 7, 2013 at 6:31 pm #1994443

I am a RYT 200HR YA+ registered Yoga instructor. I have been exploring wilderness in a lightweight style for the last 3 years, and in a much heavier way all my life. I am new to Backpacking light and I am happy I found this great resource and I hope i contribute to it. I also hope I don't have too many typos or link errors :)
Given that this thread combines those two interests I figure I might have some knowledge others may find useful.
First, Yoga is a lifestyle and a philosophy for understanding the world, Asana (postures) are what we commonly know in the west to be the "stretches" Properly executed the practice of Yoga is one of the best ways I have found to stay mentally and physically fit for life on and off the trail.
Some of the best "stretches" are the Sūryānamaskāra A&B that was already mentioned, They warm your muscles up and clear you mind for the day. Practiced with proper vinyasa (breathing) the Sūryānamaskāra is one of the best and safest calisthenic exercises you can perform.
**As a note here, I say calisthenic because what we practice in the west and arguably all over the world as "yoga" today is largely a amalgamation of ~100 years of Indian calisthenic tradition. Anyone who is interested in this history should read Mark Singleton's "Yoga Body: The Origins of Modern Posture Practice".
Yoga Body
Getting back on topic, those who are seriously interested in the practice of Yoga, to rehab, to exercise, to gain a clearer mind, should consult a physician before undergoing any physical practice, especially if you are recovering from an injury, and/or if you have any outstanding medical concerns. Notably, blood pressure issues are of special concern.
The type of Yoga that I practice is called Ashtanga Yoga, named for its 8-limbed approach. I would suggest going to my teachers website Ashtanga Yoga Canada, not just because they are my teachers, but also they have put together a set of very clear (and FREE) resources about Ashtanga Yoga, including "posture posters" that show you what, and how to practice. There is also youtube! what a great resource. Also they have a website that is specifically dedicated to their Shala Ashtanga Yoga Victoria
I would also suggest to find yourself a dedicated, kind, and disciplined teacher in your area to guide you through the first few sessions of practice and if money is an issues at least return once a month for a "update" so to speak, on your practice.
This is only my humble opinion on my very limited experience with the practice of Ashtanga Yoga (~8 years). It is a lifelong and difficult process of self-inquiry and self advancement, it is ultimately selfish, but deeply rewarding on many levels.
If anyone wants any more specific information or guidelines for how to go about searching out a teacher in your area I would be more then happy to consult with via e-mail. Send me a PM and we can go from there.

"Learn the sequence called Surya Namaskara"
+1 on that.
If it is all you do it will make a tremendous difference and try to do both the A and B variants, 5 reps each, or 10 of the "A" if you can't do the B at all. If done properly on level ground, only your palms and tops and bottoms of your feet will see any dirt, maybe a little on your knees.
For a beginner I would suggest working the other hip/leg joints with:
Utthita Trikonasana
Utthita Parsvakonasana-A
Prasarita Padottanasana-A
and for balance:
Utthita Hasta Padangustasana
Finish with Padmasana if you can sit in lotus.
Then rest for 20 minutes in Savasana.
Skip the sitting postures not mentioned here that can cause injury if your diet is not right, stomach and intestines not empty.
Summary- above all else, the Suryanamaskara is done quickly to build heat which loosens muscles in preparation for the other asanas, gets the blood and breath flowing. The Suryanamaskara set alone should be plenty enough for on the trail and will add less than 30 min to your routine including the corpse pose rest period.
(I studied under David Williams and K Pattabhi Jois and his son Manju, 1975 to 1979. Maui , HI and Encinitas CA.
Good luck and good health, cheers, and don't forget mula bhanda.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
congrats-pretty machine and pretty table too..i have a "free" that was made sometime in the first decade of 1900...and it works like a charm. it came to me for $65.00 and included all of the attachments, the original oil can and the original book (very fragile but readable). they are easy to care for as long as you remember to oil, oil, oil. 15/1 needles do just fine. i hope that you use your attachments..the hemmers are fantastic. westinghouse bought out the free company and if you read the history of these machines you will find that brother is the current company..the history and the patent application process is fascinating history of these machines.
Update: Stella is oiled and I used her last night. Going through her to oil, she is actually really clean and in very good shape for her age.
The threading was a little tricky. I was putting the thread through the needle from right to left. She would not make a stitch and the thread kept coming out. I checked everything: feed dogs, overall threading, bobbin, tension, the needle, etc. Finally as a last ditch effort I put thread into the needle from left to right and it worked! Funny how one little thing like that made such a big difference.
Anyway - she makes a really nice stitch. I figured out adjusting the stitch length, and going backwards to lock the stitch. The tension is better than on my 'modern' (but cheap) machine. Stella is a bit (ok, a lot) noisy, but we think the motor is loose. DH is going to try to find a way to tighten that up.
Ey, I've found yet another sewing addiction.

"Bachelorette" Jillian Eliminates Reid
Do you think Jillian should have dumped Reid? Are Ed and Kiptyn right for her? Leave a comment and share your thoughts!
40 comments:
Reid is right for her, I really hope he comes back and professes his love for her and she marries him.
- July 14, 2009 at 12:44 AM
yea, reid is definitely the one for jillian...she was trying to convince herself he wouldn't commit to make her decision on letting him go easier! she's right...kypton will break her heart and ed (who i used to like) just seems a little cheesy and obsessed now...come back reid! confess your love!
- July 14, 2009 at 1:27 AM
I like Reid a lot, but this has gone much too fast for him, he's not comfortable or ready to make a commitment, and she needs that, and he can't deliver that no matter how much she's tried to get it out of him. I feel she made the right decision under those circumstances. Ed IS ready, unlike Reid OR Kip.
- July 14, 2009 at 7:10 AM
- PhillyFan said...
She's an idiot...what's more important? A guy who will love her? Or the almighty engagement on finale night? She needs to wake up and get Reid back! Ed is a dweeb and there's no passion there, Kiptyn is all looks and nothing more.
- July 14, 2009 at 7:41 AM
I cannot believe that she sent Reid home. They seemed so real together. I agree that Ed now seems to be a bit cheesy and a dork. Kiptyn loves himself too much to love anybody else. I think that Jillian may just be looking for a proposal and has lost sight of being with someone that is right for her. She was crazy to send Reid home!!!!!!I too hope the spoilers are right and he comes back on finale night. Hopefully she will have enough sense to see what they really have together. If not I don't really care who she ends up with, Don't think it will last with either of the last two. Reid was everything that she said she wanted when on the Bachelor. Go figure!!!!
- July 14, 2009 at 9:26 AM
- Reggie said...
Jillian Jillian Jillian...Reid is the man for you. You two are absolutely PERFECT together. I know you can see that or you would not have been so upset in sending him home. Even if you 2 have a long engagement, it would be so much better to know both of you are ready when it is time to walk down the aisle! Remember you yourself said you could definitely picture him waiting for you at the end of the aisle. Get him back before it's too late.
- July 14, 2009 at 11:23 AM
Reid is the right one. How can she be so short sighted? She should have been wiling to wait for him to commit, as I'm sure he would have, if given a little more time to build their relationship away from the TV cameras. You missed out Jillian...unless Reid gets to come back.
- July 14, 2009 at 2:38 PM
I agree. Reid would have told her he loves her the following week if she gave trusted him to come through. He just doesn't want to be dumped, as she's sleeping around with the other two guys in the meantime. He's right to be defensive, but you can tell he's dying to tell her he loves her. He just wants to see that she chooses him too. He doesn't want to be left hanging dry, confess his love, and then he gets sent home with a broken heart and broken ego. I wonder if she sent him home to light a fire under him so that he feels the need to come back and state his love. Maybe she thinks that's the only way he will come around. I know, I used to like Ed too, but the more you watch him, the more he seems like he is so into himself, he loves his own self, he will not make her happy, and I hope she can see that and not choose him. Kypton on the other hand is a lost cause, I don't know why she's leading him on like this, he's so not into her, all he talks about are his experiences in different locations, how they've been in Spain, then Hawaii, nothing substantial about his feelings or how they jive together. If she chooses him, this show is a lost cause.
- July 14, 2009 at 2:53 PM
I'll take Reid if she doesn't want him!
- July 14, 2009 at 3:38 PM
I second that. He is hot! Reminds me of Chandler from "Friends". Quirky cute.
- July 14, 2009 at 4:55 PM
I can not believe she sent Reid home and kept Ed who already has proven that he would leave her when it was to tough to handle. I am very upset that Ed was evewn allowed to come back. Jillian has made a huge mistake
- July 14, 2009 at 7:09 PM
I completely agree that Jillian should have kept Reid. It shows in the spoilers that he might come back and profess his love for her!
- July 14, 2009 at 7:38 PM
Reid is the real deal. Jillian has already proved that her judgement is a bit shaky when she kept Wes for more than a minute.I love that Philly guy!! Jersey Girl
- July 14, 2009 at 8:25 PM
Reid is the only one whose really into her. The other guys are either into themselves or playing a game of who will win. You can tell by the way he kisses her.
- July 14, 2009 at 9:35 PM
If you read another post: http://dontbejelly.wordpress.com/2009/07/14/reid-left-roseless-and-ed-must-have-pissed-off-the-producers/#comment-134
she says that Reid will be back for sure, and gives all these reasons and people haven't spotted Reid back in philly until after the rose ceremony. So, I hope she is right. Just another website for us girls obsessed by this show.
- July 15, 2009 at 1:00 PM
Reid is whack. Its his fault he got the boot.
- July 15, 2009 at 7:12 PM
The best man for her is none of them the track record for the show is terrible there alot great men in her home country. But if I had to pick one for her I have to agree with most would be Reid he seems to be the one most down to earth. He seems to have the best head on his shoulder. Good luck Jullian
- July 16, 2009 at 12:32 PM
Rumor is Reid is the one who had the girlfriend
- July 16, 2009 at 6:34 PM
are you dumb? it was wes, you idiot.
- July 16, 2009 at 6:35 PM
I would be surprised if she chooses 'ED' after saying over and over that she wants to marry her best friend and someone who respects her. If she does, then she is fooling herself on infatuation versus finding true love in a short time span. Reid is polished and refined and has given level headed TV viewers what a gentleman should be...

One thing I'd prefer to say is that car insurance cancelling is a dreaded experience and if you're doing the proper things like a driver you will not get one. Some people do have the notice that they are officially dumped by the insurance company and many have to fight to get added insurance after having a cancellation. Inexpensive auto insurance rates tend to be hard to get from a cancellation. Having the main reasons pertaining to auto insurance termination can help owners prevent losing one of the most crucial privileges out there.

Arizona Cardinals
Bird Bits: Cardinals drop season finale to 49ers
Sure, you could read the box score and know who won, but we all know that won't tell you everything that happened in a football game. So, we will give you Bird Bits providing you with the analysis, quotes and notes from the Cardinals' 27-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
The Story:
The Arizona Cardinals concluded their dismal 2012 campaign in fitting fashion, as they lost to the San Francisco 49ers 27-13 in a clunker.
Arizona's offense was not abysmal on Sunday, but the unit was also not very efficient. After two first half field goals by Jay Feely, Brian Hoyer and Co. were stifled by the league's fourth-ranked pass defense for most of the afternoon.
Hoyer, making his first career NFL start, finished 19-of-34 for 225 yards with a touchdown and an interception. The problem was most of his positive play came with the game out of reach. Hoyer completed 10 passes for 90 yards in the fourth quarter.
William Powell, arguably the team's most talented running back in a group decimated by injuries, poor protection and inconsistency, rushed for 52 yards but wasn't a focal point of the offense after the Cardinals fell behind by double digits in the second half.
Playing from behind started to take its toll on the Cardinals defense, as well. After giving up just 10 yards of offense in the first quarter, Ray Horton's unit looked susceptible to the big play and Colin Kaepernick and Co. took note. San Francisco accumulated 397 yards over the final three quarters en route to an easy victory and a second straight NFC West title.
The Good:
Brian Hoyer didn't light up the scoreboard Sunday afternoon, but outside of a late interception, he also didn't commit costly turnovers like his predecessors John Skelton and Ryan Lindley.
Hoyer might not have made the case to be the team's leading option at starting quarterback heading into 2013, but the veteran looks to have the tools to be a quality backup.
He also threw the team's first passing touchdown since Week 9.
Michael Floyd saved his best for last in his rookie season. The No. 13 overall pick had eight catches for 166 yards and a touchdown Sunday.
Arizona gave up several big plays through the air but managed to keep Frank Gore in check. San Francisco's leading rusher had only 68 yards on 20 carries.
The Bad:
Larry Fitzgerald was a non-factor on Sunday, a theme which has been constant over the team's final 11 games. The six-time Pro Bowler had two catches for 13 yards and was targeted just five times.
Patrick Peterson may have made great strides as a cornerback this season, but the two-time Pro Bowler has a long way to go when it comes to defending San Francisco's Michael Crabtree. In their Week 8 showdown, Crabtree had five catches for 72 yards and two touchdowns. Sunday he had even more fun toying with Peterson. The former Texas Tech star recorded eight catches for 172 yards and two scores.
He Said It:
"It's hard because you want to gain consistency with one guy, but we just have to stay together. And that's what we did. Fitz and the older players always say that when the ball comes to you, you have to make a play. Because if you don't, you never know when the ball will come back to you." – Wide receiver Michael Floyd on quarterback situation
• Dave Zastudil has been one of the few bright spots in 2012. Sunday, he added to his league-record with two more punts inside the 20-yard line, including a 70-yard bomb in the first quarter.
• If Sunday was Beanie Wells' final audition for the other 31 teams in the NFL, it didn't exactly go according to plan. Ken Whisenhunt pulled the curtain on the running back's final act of 2012. Wells didn't play at all in Arizona's loss.
• The last time Arizona lost 11 games in a season was 2010, meaning Ken Whisenhunt has had two 11-loss campaigns in six seasons.
Coming Up Next:
The Cardinals will have to wait until 2013 to rectify their underwhelming 11-loss season. Until then, expect plenty of notable personnel moves to take place in the offseason.

Adopting a habit of regular exercise doesn't require special equipment or gadgets. It can be as simple as putting on a pair of shoes and heading out for daily walks. For many people, that's enough. But if you're easily bored or enjoy using technology to enhance ordinary tasks, take your fun and fitness to the next level with electronic exercise gadgets and digital devices.
Designed to inspire and motivate, these products can help keep your fitness program enjoyable and entertaining while giving you objective data about your progress. In most cases, you can also opt in to share your progress on Facebook and Twitter for some virtual high fives.
These devices have been around for years, but some of the latest models are made with the tech-savvy user in mind. They upload workout data to an online training log that may even synch with your smartphone to track your peak exercise heart rate, average exercise heart rate, recovery heart rate and time spent in different training zones.
Some offer a built-in GPS, interval timer, chronograph, calorie tracker and other fun features. Manufacturers typically offer free sport-specific training plans that also integrate with the device. The variety is huge, ranging from a simple model that measures only exercise heart rate to tracking all types of data imaginable.
One of the biggest benefits of working with an in-person, certified personal trainer is getting immediate feedback on your performance. It's not quite the same, but several manufacturers offer tools that deploy virtual coaches for personalized mid-workout advice. These devices interface with online coaching programs, smartphones, and MP3 players.
In one case, users download training programs and exercise sessions to the tool, which connects to an MP3 player. Audible workout instructions are given based on personal data from a clip-on shoe sensor and chest- strap heart rate monitor, so users know when to speed up or slow down.
After the workout, pace, distance, and heart rate data is uploaded to the online site or smartphone for viewing and users are given encouraging or constructive feedback based on performance. With a virtual coach in your ear and the promise of praise at the finish line chances are good, that you'll push yourself harder and accomplish more than working out solo.
Choose from apps that track your workout time, distance, heart rate and calories; exercise animations to help you work out with proper form and technique; workouts for all fitness levels with audio and video coaching; sport-specific training plans; apps that turn your phone into a pedometer, altimeter, or GPS; and much more. Configure auto-alerts to jog your memory, choose preset or custom goals or network with like-minded people. Whatever your fitness interest, you'll find an app to support it right at your fingertips.
Active video games are all the rage from virtual dance contests and river rafting to tennis, boxing, and yoga. Studies show that many of the more vigorous "exergames" can boost fitness in otherwise inactive people. In one study of adolescents, energy expenditure from a variety of active video games was comparable to that of walking on a treadmill at 3 mph, an intensity high enough to promote health and fitness. As long as you opt for products that really get you moving, including fitness gaming as a part of your active lifestyle, you can burn off some extra calories, stay fit, and have a great time with family and friends.

This year, payment of interest on that debt is estimated at $225 billion, Gordon said. He and Riedl point to Congressional Budget Office projections indicating that without any change in spending, interest on the national debt will hit $1.1 trillion a year by 2021.
At that point, it will exceed what the country will be spending on national defense.
"By 2025, revenue will be able to finance only interest payments, Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Every other federal government activity — from national defense and homeland security to transportation and energy — will have to be paid for with borrowed money."

ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp makes learning fun
By Christi Fish
Public Affairs Specialist
(July 16, 2009)--This week, UTSA is one of 30 education institutions hosting the ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp. This is the second summer that UTSA hosted the camp, which is open to 50 sixth through eighth graders from the San Antonio area. The 2009 camp, which began July 12, offers a forensic science theme and will run through July 24 on the university's Main Campus.
Bernard Harris, a physician and Texas native, is best known for serving on the first flight of the joint Russian-American Space Program in 1995. On that flight, he became the first African-American to walk in space. A veteran astronaut for more than 19 years, Harris has logged more than 438 hours and traveled more than 7.2 million miles in space.
The free residential camp gives students a first-hand experience with experiments, role models and innovative programs to encourage their continued participation in math and science courses in school. Additionally, their leadership potential and citizenship skills are fostered along with their abilities to work in teams and think creatively, while spending two weeks in a college campus environment. The ultimate goal is to raise their awareness of career possibilities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Students will attend daily classes in natural science, engineering, mathematics and technology, which will be taught by faculty from UTSA and area school districts. Activities include classroom study, experiments, individual/team/group projects, weekly field excursions and guest speakers who will encourage the students to fulfill their dreams. UTSA's 2009 camp classes will include lie detection, brain dissection, hypothetical crimes, eyewitness accounts, facial composites, handwriting, forgery, finger, lip and foot printing, glass fragmentation and handwriting analysis, among other seminars.
"UTSA is excited to be part of this wonderful camp experience for our local students," said Rachel Ruiz, UTSA assistant vice president for P-20 initiatives. "We're not only providing these students with an amazing two weeks on our campus, including dormitory life, we are also doing our part to develop the next generation of creative thinkers and inventors."
Unlike most summer camps, there is no fee required to attend the ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp. Young people who are academically qualified, recommended by their teachers and genuinely interested in math and science can be rewarded with the opportunity to attend these educational camps at no cost.
Repeated studies have shown that the United States faces a critical shortage of engineers, scientists and other mathematics- and science-literate workers because a significant number of practicing engineers are nearing retirement and an insufficient number of students are pursuing related degrees in order to fill the predicted vacancies. Through numerous efforts, ExxonMobil is supporting programs and organizations that focus on improving mathematics and science education at all levels.
For a list of U.S. institutions offering the summer camp, visit the Harris Foundation Web site.
ExxonMobil Foundation
The ExxonMobil Foundation is the primary philanthropic arm of the Exxon Mobil Corp. in the United States. The foundation and the corporation engage in a range of philanthropic activities that advance education, health and science in the communities where ExxonMobil has significant operations. In the United States, ExxonMobil supports initiatives to improve math and science education at the K-12 and higher education levels.
Globally, ExxonMobil provides funding to improve basic education and combat malaria and other infectious diseases in developing countries. In 2008, together with its employees and retirees, Exxon Mobil Corporation, its divisions and affiliates, and ExxonMobil Foundation provided $225 million in contributions worldwide, of which more than $89 million was dedicated to education. Read more about ExxonMobil community partnerships and contributions programs.
The Harris Foundation
Founded in 1998, The Harris Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Houston, Texas. Its overall mission is to invest in community-based initiatives to support education, health and wealth. The foundation supports programs that empower individuals, in particular minorities and the economically and socially disadvantaged, to recognize their potential and pursue their dreams.
The education mission of The Harris Foundation is to enable youth to develop and achieve their full potential through the support of social, recreational and educational programs for grades K-12. Through three primary initiatives -- The DREAM Tour, the ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer Science Camp and Dare to Dream -- the foundation encourages math and science education, motivates youth to stay in school, fosters youth leadership and citizenship and instills the values of responsibility, fairness and respect.
The foundation believes that students can be prepared now for the careers of the future through a structured education program and the use of positive role models. To date, more than 10,000 K-12 students have participated in and benefited from THF programs.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
It must have seemed like a good idea at the time. Looking for a way to position itself as the true voice of the American people, the House Republican leadership this week unveiled America Speaking Out, a networking website—financed with taxpayer dollars—to crowdsource ideas for future legislation. "I personally traveled to Washington state and discovered a Microsoft program that helped NASA map the moon," said Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), the site's congressional overseer. For all that effort, what McCarthy and the GOP got was a buggy, slow, 2.0-style site that quickly became a 4chan-style haven for liberal trolls. Web-savvy Americans, it turns out, do want to be heard on ASO, but most of them just want to flame on, mock, and rickroll Republicans.
Here, MoJo has collected a few examples of how ASO visitors are using the forum. It's the latest in a string of out-of-touch Web fails for GOPers, including Michael Steele's "What Up?" and McCainSpace, as they struggle to harness open Web systems the way Barack Obama did in 2008. "If you are genuinely trying to get a discussion going, you need to present yourself authentically from the start," writes new-media maven Erika Hall in her takedown of the site. "America Speaking Out looks like Rock the Vote and acts like an out-of-touch politician who has never seen the YouTube. This sort of thing comes about when an organization is jumping on a bandwagon or following a perceived trend for PR, rather than truly using the tools of modern communication technology."

Each villa is appointed with top-of-the-line appliances and furnishings, including plasma TVs, wireless Internet, private balconies with spectacular island views, and a gourmet kitchen (fridge, oven and range, dishwasher, and granite countertops). Don't feel like cooking? On-site, The Palapa Grill dishes up authentic island cuisine—from Caribbean jerk to Bahamian barbecue—made with fresh, local ingredients, all in an open-air tropical setting.

• Hit the Greg Norman-designed award-winning golf course
• Snorkel an Underwater World beachside or out in the cays

text: I just completed my first AR build from various brand mil-spec parts, mostly DPMS stuff. To say it was easy would be an understatement. Just a run-of-the-mill H-bar 16'',so I wont bother w/ a pic. The cost savings were pretty good as well, and could have been better had I shopped around more. Now several folks are wanting me to put one together for them. Would I run into any legal probs. if I had them order the lower rec. and do the transfer in thier name and I put it together for them? Any thoughts?:confused:


text: I was thinking of heading to the Dallas Auto Show on March 14-18 (I'd go on the Saturday). Anyone interested in a mini-GTG from the DFW at that event. If you have even slight interest in attending, reply to this post. Right now I can only commit to this about 75%, I have a travelling event the week before, but I'm fairly confident that I can make it.

Surly folk inhabiting the coastal lowlands of the Pacific Northwest. Known for having a style made up of shorts that are too short for any man and an ensemble of clothing that seemed to have originated from Native American tribal members crossed with French Canadian fur trappers and Burt Reynolds. Typically these beasts emerge in parties, wedding receptions, bar mitzvah's, cruise ships, and bingo parlors smelling of cheap whiskey and malt liquor. It is after ambushing these events that they attempt to entertain guests and make eyes with any and all willing party goers. Often putting on displays of song and dance similar to those of the Dayak headhunters but with sexually ambiguous undertones.
Dude, did you see that guy driving the '83 Iroc with the inflatable doll passenger? He was a complete Tillamook Bob with that over-grown mullet and buckskin jacket. I wonder who's party he was going to crash?
