HMMM YOU SHOWING THE BOLT THRUST OF A 460 S&W HIGHER THAN A 308 WINCHESTER???? i dont have the numbers or dimenions handy but that is suprising to me. I thought the 460 was a pistol round and had much lower pressures even though the case Od is larger Id have though it ould be less. I really dont pay to much attention to the IMOO extra expensive pistol rounds like the .460 or the .500 but maybe I should.
Tromix did a 444 marlin on the 410 with out issue BTW. the 444 is loaded tho less chaber pressure than the 308 however.

Since our gun laws are so much different than most states, i thought it maybe worth while to try to revitalize this area! Is there anyone else interested? Brockton mass
i guess i will close out thread due to lack of?
your ne from me about an hour. just fyi this state is terrible on what you can have for guns , example no new glocks , and all triggers must have a 10.5 pull and thats just for starters. reason for telling you this if you come from a free state and you have a gun that is not legal here because of the move it becomes legal provided you register it here. so you may want to do some fast shopping in your former state before you settle in here. and welcome to massachusetts.
I think in Mass they punish all Misdemeanors by over 2 years so you lose your gun rights. Too repressive for me and I love the NE but to many anti-gun laws for me.
And that's why I live a few clicks North in NH

[Article]-Course Review: SANS SEC 569 Combating Malware in the Enterprise
SANS does a number of smaller courses before and after their main offerings at some of their conferences. This is a quick 2-day course by Lenny Zeltser. Let's just call it a teaser for the big one. So if you want to go deeper into the world of malware, take a look at the SANS reverse-engineering malware course (FOR610), which teaches you how to turn malware inside-out. The reversing course is the brain-child of Lenny Zeltser, who also co-authored 569. This August Lenny will teach FOR610 with his co-author, Mike Murr.
Also, be sure to catch some special offers after the break.

Permanent link: [Article]-Course Review: SANS SEC 569 Combating Malware in the Enterprise
By Jeff Georgeson
Your organization will get compromised! The convenience and ease-of-use that your employees and customers demand will expose your network to a plethora of compromises. As much as security paranoids, like myself, would like to completely lockdown our networks to prevent this, it is not practical. The next best thing is to do everything in one's power to minimize the number of incidents and recognize that, despite your best efforts, compromises will most likely happen. A well thought out plan and response is essential for an organization to minimize, contain, eradicate and recover from the damage a malware incident can cause. Lenny Zeltser's SANS Security 569: Combating Malware in the Enterprise is an excellent course to help you devise a robust malware incident response plan. It is a 2-day, in-depth course that extensively covers malware. For Lenny's full course, please read the review for FOR610 right here on EH-Net.
I went into this class having what I thought was an intermediate knowledge of the subject. I was very familiar with some of the topics and knew virtually nothing on others. No matter your knowledge of the subject matter, you will pick up a great deal from this class and definitely won't feel "out of your league." The review that follows discusses the course content at a high level and how this content pertained to me and my organization.

In biology, as in technology, we should not confuse persistence with perfection
Robert L. Dorit
A simplified, and ultimately misleading, account of the evolutionary process argues that natural selection inexorably leads to optimal adaptation. According to this perspective, organisms face challenges presented by the environment, and ultimately, through the agency of natural selection, find the best solutions. From this point of view, the living world—from the three-dimensional structure of enzymes to the drag-minimizing shape of porpoises—could thus be described as a compendium of these supposedly ideal adaptations.
This perspective beguiles in its simplicity, but in the end, it trivializes the complexities of the evolutionary process. Natural selection sorts among existing alternatives, but sometimes a good-enough solution may become inextricably locked in place. Evolution is not about what's best, but what works. Organisms do fit their environments exquisitely—and the task of contemporary evolutionary biology is to elucidate the interplay of history, chance and selection that shapes life on this planet. To be sure, we can ease our burden by downplaying the reach of history. We can even maintain that chance delays, but ultimately does not derail, the emergence of peak adaptation. And finally, we can dismiss what appears to be a suboptimal design by asserting that it simply reflects our lack of understanding of what is being optimized. But these are risky simplifications. In the end, life is more than a collection of adaptations, and evolution is more than the ascent to perfection. My job as an evolutionary biologist goes beyond simply imagining the plausible benefits that disembodied features might confer on individual organisms.
The 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth seems as good time as any to revisit the tension between history and optimality. I want to do so, however, by focusing on two seemingly disparate evolutionary narratives: The typewriter keyboard and the genetic code.
The typewriter keyboard is clearly the product of human ingenuity and is part of a technological revolution that continues to transform our lives. The genetic code, in contrast, resides at the very core of every living organism and has been evolving for four billion years. Yet both the keyboard and the code help illustrate the ways in which the persistence of features may not in itself be proof of their superiority. Instead, persistence may simply reflect the tenacious grip of a functional solution that emerges early in the process. In other words, a feature does not have to be flawless to endure—it just has to be good enough.
The typewriter is one of the great inventions of the late 19th century. The mechanizing of legible writing democratized communication and broke the stranglehold exercised by clerks on written business transactions. By allowing the influx of women into business and government offices, the invention of the typewriter also served as a bridge to the feminist revolution. At the heart of this invention, since then also embedded in the modern computer, is a strange and idiosyncratic feature: the QWERTY keyboard. This particular arrangement of letters on a keyboard is the near-universal standard for the entire English-speaking world.
Why this arrangement, out of the 4 x 1026 possible ways in which the English alphabet might have been laid out on a typewriter? Surely the inventors of the typewriter, and the generations that have followed, had some explicit criteria that make the QWERTY layout the unrivaled keyboard design. As with many important inventions, the legends surrounding QWERTY far outnumber the facts. One legend has it that the QWERTY keyboard was designed to reduce typing speed (and perhaps increase accuracy) by dispersing the most common letters. Another is that this keyboard design enabled early salesmen to type certain words (including the word "typewriter") without leaving the top row. These are plausible just-so stories, but they are hard to verify.
Perhaps the most compelling account of the origin of the QWERTY design begins with a mechanical constraint: jamming keys. Readers below the age of 35 may need to be reminded that depressing a key on a mechanical typewriter causes a metal type hammer with a letter at the end of it to rise up in an arc, strike the ink ribbon and the paper and return to its original position. The most favorable keyboard would therefore be laid out in a way that separates the most commonly occurring pairs of letters, thus minimizing the likelihood of jamming.
This explanation for the layout of the keyboard has undeniable appeal: It identifies a specific constraint, proposes a mechanism and defines optimality. If true, we would expect to see a different layout of letters in, say, a French keyboard—where common letter pairings are different than those in English—and we do. The French AZERTY keyboard positions the keys quite differently than the QWERTY.
But we cannot confuse a plausible explanation with a correct one. In order to test this scenario for the evolution of the keyboard, let's examine the first 1,500 or so words of two well-known 19th century novels: Charles Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities and Marcel Proust's À la recherche du temps perdu. The charts in the second figure show digraph frequencies, reflecting how often certain letter combinations appear within words. The figure shows that the top 20 letter pairs occurring in each of these novels (and in the two languages) are indeed different (th/he/er in English, as opposed to es/en/ai in French), although some pairs are present in both charts (such as re, es and it).
The QWERTY and AZERTY keyboards certainly appear to do a reasonable job of keeping co-occurring letters apart on the keyboard, far better than a simple alphabetical arrangement (or a random arrangement) of letters would. Even on these keyboards, however, certain very common pairs occur in close proximity (th, er and ed, for instance). Even assuming that minimizing jamming is the only criterion for optimality—in itself a questionable assumption—the QWERTY/AZERTY arrangements are not the best possible solutions. They are good-enough solutions.
As evolutionary biologists, we know how to test optimality, even in keyboards. If an optimal keyboard embodies the ideal response to a specific set of challenges imposed both by the machine (avoid the jamming of hammers) and by the users (enhance typing speed and accuracy), we would predict that a significant change in these selective forces would surely change the resulting optimum. Two such tests of keyboard optimality are already underway.
The first test involves the advent of the computer, which has done away with the problem of jamming hammers. Freed from this constraint, the keyboard should, in principle, now be free to evolve to a new optimal design. The second, even more radical experiment is tied to the phenomenon of texting—using handheld devices to type and send written messages. Texting represents a radical shift in the interaction between humans and keyboards: Digits that were previously deemed only suited for pressing the space bar (thumbs) have become central players in communication.
Yet despite these radically changed circumstances, one look at a computer or a handheld device reminds us that the keyboard layout has not changed much since Sholes and Densmore were granted a patent for it in 1878.
The persistence of the QWERTY keyboard, and of its related but subtly different counterparts in other languages, testifies to the power of history. The design persists not because it is the best of all possible keyboards, but because it is good enough to do the job. Over time, QWERTY has prevailed because that keyboard has become deeply embedded in the technology of manufacture, in the training of users, and in our muscular and technical consciousness. QWERTY links us, inextricably, to a vast network of mechanical, muscular and symbolic interactions that would make replacing the arrangement of the keyboard—even by a more optimized design—an enormously complex task. Even so, the experiment has been tried. In 1936 a patent was issued for the Dvorak keyboard, a keyboard design that the patent stated to be:
a scientific plan of arranging the keys which will decrease the possibility of typing errors … [It will] increase operating speed by eliminating awkward sequences … lessening the fatigue of the typist, because of fewer interruptions due to errors, because of better arrangement of the keys for typing the sequences most frequently used, and the rhythmical flow of typing induced thereby, and because of more evenly distributed labor for the individual fingers and the two hands.
To be sure, its inventors assumed that the factors that defined the ultimate keyboard could be identified, isolated and optimized. (Nowhere, for instance, do the inventors consider the possibility that errors or operator fatigue might emerge from the alienating character of the typist's job in the then-emerging machine economy).
The Dvorak keyboard sought to incorporate what was known then about the physiology of muscular action, the ergonomics of the hand, and the frequency of individual letters and of letter pairs in English. Although there is still some question about just how much of an improvement the Dvorak keyboard represented, its layout certainly allowed users to type most common letters without leaving the home (central) row and to alternate hands when typing the most common letter pairs. It was a beautiful attempt to design an optimal keyboard from first principles. But, perhaps most important, it was a layout that arose too late in the game, because 73 years later, the Dvorak keyboard remains the province of the few and the fiercely committed. In engineering, as in biology, optimality seldom trumps history.
If the tensions between the constraints of history and notions of optimality are so apparent in the evolution of a human invention, how do these tensions play out in the evolution of biological features? Technological evolution is, after all, quite different from biological evolution. There are designers and a purpose behind the arrangement of letters on the keyboard; neither drives the evolution of biological features. Nonetheless, the hand of history is clearly visible both in technological and in biological evolution.
The vagaries of history inform the most fundamental act of living systems: the interpretation of genetic information. The genetic code, the Rosetta stone of all living systems, is hardly the best of all possible codes. Instead, like the QWERTY keyboard, the correspondences between the information in DNA bases and their amino-acid meanings are not optimal, but in the final analysis, are good enough.
The ribosome, the cellular machinery that synthesizes proteins, reads the information in RNA by interpreting the meaning of non-overlapping but adjacent triplets of bases, the alphabet of this nucleic acid (the well-known A, U, C and G). In one of the most compelling arguments for the common descent of all living organisms, the genetic code—the translation table that matches particular amino acids to particular triplets—is virtually universal. GGG codes for the amino acid glycine in you, in the bacteria in your gut, in the yeast in your bread and in every other living thing. But although the universality of the genetic code speaks to the common ancestry of all life on this planet, it is still not obvious why GGG should code for glycine.
Why does GGG, and not, for example, ACA, code for glycine? Is the universal genetic code simply the result of a random assignment of amino-acid meanings to the 64 possible triplets, or has natural selection operated on the genetic code? A quick inspection of the code answers that question: Natural selection is at work. Thus, for instance, triplets that differ in their third position (such as GGG, GGC or GGA) all code for glycine: The assignment is not random. This pattern, known as the redundancy of the genetic code, acts to temper the effects of the inexorable mutations that occur in DNA. Because of redundancy, between a quarter and a third of mutations in a gene, on average, do not affect the sequence of the resultant protein. Redundancy alone suggests that the genetic code is the result of evolution and not simply the consequence of a random assignment of amino-acid meanings to triplet coding sequences.
Dismissing the idea of random assignments, however, does not mean embracing optimality. The genetic code does indeed contain many features that dampen the impact of mutation on the sequence of proteins and hence, presumably, on the fitness of organisms. But a computer program can come up with hypothetical genetic codes that do a better job of dampening the impact of mutation: The actual genetic code is not ideal; it is good enough. Moreover, the presumption that the genetic code has been shaped solely by a single set of selective forces is just that—presumption. Likewise, when we assert that the genetic code must be optimal, but in ways we do not yet understand, we are skating past the intellectual core of evolutionary biology. A richer narrative suggests that once a functioning genetic code evolved, a complex and interlinked set of biological features, including the entire machinery for protein synthesis, evolved around it and cemented it in place. In effect, the genetic code is nature's QWERTY keyboard. But unlike the QWERTY keyboard—which could, in theory, be replaced by a better alternative—the genetic code is so embedded in the molecular machinery that evolution will not tolerate its disruption.
Neither our technology nor our biology can evade the hand of history. History underlies the configurations of the QWERTY and the AZERTY keyboards. Within the keyboards, vestiges of an even deeper history remain: The central row preserves traces of the original alphabetical arrangement that existed in the very first typesetting machines.
History, too, accounts for the universality of the genetic code. And here again, even deeper traces of prebiotic evolution can be found: Certain base triplets show particular physical attraction for the amino acids they would eventually come to encode. Everything has a past, though it may sometimes be concealed. The power of the evolutionary perspective resides in its acknowledgment of the importance of that past. Perhaps more subtly, evolutionary logic makes a profound distinction between history and destiny. We may find great comfort in the idea of inexorable progress, but the products of the evolutionary process, like the products of human ingenuity, are not about perfection.

Dear list
I am working with a dataset consisting of sleep brainwave recordings taken
over three nights, with recordings made every 15 seconds, using a sample of
21 research participants. I have both time varying and time invariant
covariates. With this and the very long time series I am not sure of the
best model to use. Dynamic panel models such as Arellano-Bond typically
require many panels with relatively few time points, and do not take into
account the autoregressive disturbances in the data. An ARIMA model
containing only time varying predictors could be fit for each subject, and
comparisons/correlations of the intercepts and slpes generated from each
ARIMA model could be performed using the subject-level (time invariant)
variables. Is this a reasonable approach? Or is there a better alternative?

They should do the same thing with the legal aliens. funny snakes are more of a concern then 80,000,000 people robbing this country blind.
Python Challenge Offers Cash Prizes to Florida Snake Hunters - ABC News
Hey 4th, you gonna get in on this? I had this idea yrs ago. All you have to do is send the teenage boys that want to go into the swamps with a .22 and take care of the pythons. I'm thinking in the past, though. We could walk around all day though the neiborhoods with a gun when I was a wee little lad and folks would just smile and wave. Not these days.
Clan MacPherson
They should do the same thing with the legal aliens. funny snakes are more of a concern then 80,000,000 people robbing this country blind.
I would send them out in teams and offer prizes and bounty on the unwanted guest.
SOON-We already lost the war. You are the resistance.
well I am closer to the action than 4th, question I have for you guys is have ever been in the glades? I am 20miles as the crow flys from the Corkscrew Preserve, which is part of Big Cypress ( part of the everglades ) national Park. this is some swampy country, you are going to earn ever dime, forget the pythons, its the cotton mouths, rattle snakes and gators, and if your in southern collier co you might see a croc. I have yet to see a python on the road or in my neighborhood, but i have seen everything else
this isn't like shooting nutria out of a airboat to pick up a few bucks
Sprat and sprat1 are one and the same.
I think it's a good idea to try and stem the python's tide.. but I'd be worried about people shooting native snakes by mistake.. may be better to design a trap or something.. B2B
You are going to send 12 year old boys into the swamp to kill 12 footlong snakes with a .22. Are you stupid?
The wife & I were leaving the racetrack one day over by the charlotte county airport and saw one of those monitor type lizzards cross the road right in front of us. I'd say an easy ten footer counting the tail. Well....I saw dollar signs ! Stopped the truck & took off into the bush to try and catch it.
I can tell you first hand , those things can MOVE OUT!!! WAY fast!
I gave up right quick.

And where did you get 12 yr old? Thats not a teenager last time I checked. I was thinking more along the lines of 16 yr old and up. But the swamp kids are tough, I bet they are rasslin alligators by the time they are 5!

PARKING PROGRESS: "The High Cost of Free Parking" by Donald C Shoup
Original post made by John hackmann, Professorville, on Sep 4, 2012
Parking requirements seem drastically misunderstood and misused.
Planning seems well intentioned, but misguided and ineffectual.
Is anyone interested in discussing the merits of these approaches, and the validity of his observations?
As a group, perhaps we can clarify the principles, see objectively what does and doesn't work, and consider (y blogging or meeting) a better consensus solution.
Parking is so tight, we may PARK FIRST then DECIDE WHAT TO DO!
I am sure some like me see a space, then park, then figure out what part of today's business can I do from here? Walgreens? Post Office? One of six banks? Meeting? Downtown library? Bells Books?
He uses METERS to PRICE PARKING as in Redwood City.
But how can we adapt that here WITHOUT METERS?
I think we can if we put our heads together!
SO, I would like to invite others to order this book from Bell's or library and let's talk!

Peter Carpenter is a registered user.
Stanford University learned long ago that free parking lead to a lot of wasted time looking for a parking space and diverted money for parking programs from its primary educational mission. In 1976 Stanford introduced paid parking and the results have been impressive. Lots of new parking structures built with parking revenues, bike and pedestrian paths built with parking revenues and the Marguerita shuttle serving Stanford and surrounding communities paid for by parking revenues. Not one dime of educational funds go to the care and feeding of automobiles. And in the process large central portions of the campus where automobiles had been free to drive and park were converted to automobile exclusion zones and now have become pleasant pedestrian and bicycle spaces.
Free goods are never allocated in a responsible or fair manner. Parking is no exception.

(I can't login to the system for some reason)
Assuming I'm thinking of the right author, Donald Shoup's strategy is to find the right price for parking such that 85% of the spots are parked and 15% are free at any given moment, statistically. The aim is to have 1 or 2 spots free each block so you can park instead of endlessly circling and causing more traffic trying to find a spot. There was a survey of drivers, I think in NYC, showing that -- if I recall correctly -- 25% of the drivers were actually looking to park! Of course, that's a bigger city, but I wouldn't be surprised if downtown PA was comparable.

No matter how frequently you vacuum, carpets eventually show their age. But often, what we consider general wear is just a combination of stains and dirt ground into the carpet fibers. Before you spend the big bucks to replace that tired-looking carpet, you might consider a thorough cleaning. There are three basic ways to do so: hire a professional carpet cleaning service, rent a carpet cleaning machine or buy your own carpet cleaner so you can haul it out whenever you need it.
Also referred to as carpet shampooers, carpet cleaners are quite simple and straightforward. They all have one or two cleaning tanks. Some have just one for cleaning solution diluted with water, others have two, one for water, and one for carpet cleaning solution. All have a separate collection tank for the dirty water. The carpet is sprayed with diluted solution, that cleaning solution is agitated by power brushes or manually by the user with a hose attachment. Some have an extra step where you can spray clean water to rinse. In the final step, the dirty water is sucked into the collection tank. Within that process, the user often has a lot of control for squirting extra cleaning solution, doing an extra rinse, or taking another pass or to suck up more water.
The inconvenient part of any type of carpet cleaning is having to deal with wet carpeting. Drying times depend upon how powerful the suction action is and how much of the remaining water the unit removes. Our research shows that three hours is about the minimum wait time you can expect for dry (or dry enough) carpets from the best carpet shampooers. Some carpet cleaners have heated, forced air systems that will speed that up somewhat.
When you fill the water tank of a carpet cleaner, it's suggested that you use hot water for the best cleaning and sanitizing, but that water will gradually cool down as you work. Some carpet cleaners have systems that keep the water heated, which is a very desirable feature for some.
Full-sized carpet cleaners are usually as large as, or slightly bigger than, upright vacuum cleaners, so you have to allow for storage. You also use them like an upright vacuum cleaner, pushing them back and forth along the carpet. A full-sized carpet shampooer is great not only for regularly-scheduled whole-house carpet cleaning, but also for dealing with bigger spills, such as larger amounts of spilled liquids, refreshing heavy traffic areas, and dealing with widely-scattered stains or spots. Some include a hose and attachments for cleaning upholstery or stairs. Depending upon the model and price, features may include forced air heating systems to help dry the carpet more quickly, or heated water systems to keep the water hot.
Portable carpet cleaners are smaller and use a hose with attachments, rather than being pushed back and forth. They are great for stairs, upholstery, mattresses, automobiles and RV's, or just for spot cleaning of spills or pet accidents. Portable carpet cleaners often include just a brush-type attachment, so you may have to do a bit of scrubbing with it, but some have optional power or turbo brushes that will do that work for you for a relatively small additional investment. Some also have heated water technology.
Spot carpet cleaners offer "set and forget" convenience. They are self-contained units with built-in rotating brushes and a timer. You just fill it with water and solution, set it on the stain, push a button, and it will squirt, spin and then suck the water out automatically. These units are particularly popular with pet owners and often have the word "pet" in their name.
Rental carpet cleaners are professional-grade carpet shampooers that you can rent, usually from supermarkets or hardware stores, for about $25 per day, plus the cost of the cleaning solution. These units work very well, as would be expected, and have wider cleaning paths to make the job go more quickly. Some also include a hose and tool attachment for cleaning stairs. The downside is that they're large and heavy, although some have handles on the body of the unit to make transport easier. If you rent a carpet cleaner frequently, buying one might make sense; they're actually pretty affordable and may pay for themselves quickly with regular use.
In this report we recommend carpet cleaners, but before you can deep clean, you need to vacuum thoroughly to remove loose debris for the best results. If you're not happy with your vacuum cleaner, see our recommendations for the best upright vacuum cleaners and canister vacuum cleaners, both of which we cover in separate reports. Alternatively, if you're looking for a way to deep clean your hard floors, check out our separate report on steam mops.
There are very few expert reviews or professional tests of carpet cleaners; those we found are either rather dated or testing is not well-detailed. However, owners are very passionate about their carpet cleaners and we evaluated thousands of owner reviews across retail sites to see how the carpet cleaner performs in real-world use. These owner reviews also provide a window into long-term durability, as many users come back months or even years later to update their original reviews. The result of our research is our top recommendations for the best carpet cleaners. As it turns out, it's an apparent Bissell and Hoover love fest, with a soupcon of Rug Doctor; no other carpet cleaners even come close to those manufacturers when it comes to performance.

It's no stretch to say that a person has a serious advantage in life if they come from a loving, supportive home. Many people still succeed though they come from less-than-ideal family situations, but having our basic needs met, knowing that our parents love us and learning life lessons at home make all the challenges of day-to-day living that much easier to face. Likely, as an adult you want a happy home for your family.
This is no coincidence. God organizes us into families so that we can grow up in happiness and safety, and so that we can learn to love others selflessly—the key to true joy. Within the family is the best place to learn to love others the way Heavenly Father loves each one of us.
God's Church exists to help families gain eternal blessings. We believe the greatest blessing He gives us is the ability to return to live with Him in heaven with our families. We follow our Heavenly Father's will because that is how we earn this blessing.
We Are All Part of God's Family
When we call a fellow Church member "Brother" Lee or "Sister" Brown, we really mean it. We believe that each of us—including those who aren't members of our Church—is a literal son or daughter of our Heavenly Father (Hebrews 12:9) and therefore, our heavenly siblings. We were loved and taught by our Heavenly Father as part of an eternal family before coming to earth. So we share a bond that transcends this life. Think about it, if you truly thought of your neighbor or coworker as your brother or sister, would you treat them any differently? In the same vein, knowing that your earthly family has eternal significance might help you treat them better as well.
Families Come First
Maybe we are one of the lucky ones who was raised in a happy and secure family with two loving parents. Maybe we weren't, and growing up was tough without the love and support we longed for. Likely, as an adult you want a happy home for your family. Living peacefully in a family isn't always easy, but in God's restored Church, marriage and families are the most important social unit now and in eternity.
People who have lived through a disaster never say, "All I could think about during the earthquake was my bank account." They almost always say, "All I could think about was my wife and children." It shouldn't require a disaster for us to know this truth. But too often, we let earning money, chasing pleasure, or even the needs of people outside our families divert our attention. In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints families come first.

Hint: It's got Mickey Mouse ears.
This Disney theme park had more than 18 million visits in 2013, an increase of nearly 6% over 2012, according to a report released in June (pdf). (Click through the gallery to check out the top 25 parks in the world.)
Amusement park attendance is on the rise around the world.
There were 215 million visits to the top 25 theme and amusement parks worldwide, up 4.3% from 2012, according to the Themed Entertainment Association and AECOM global attractions attendance report.

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by haribobo, Apr 4, 2012.
Not as intriguing as the ladies selections will be, but oh well.
Gracie Gold.
Jeremy and Ross. Ross needs to be put out there more, he might make the world team next year.
I said Abbott and Rippon again, since they didn't do too badly at Worlds.
I wanted to say Mahbahnoozadeh since he got passed over for 4CC, but he's not as good as the other two or even Ross Miner.
Call Evan and see if he wants to go.
Farris and Miner lol. Just because I like them and think either of them will do better than Rippon. Abbott I think needs rest after the long season.
Can the US send just anyone or do they need to have a certain ranking? I don't know if the person was serious who mentioned Evan but without any kind of World ranking I don't think he is an option.
According to the recent article about Evan changing agents, he is currently ranked at #28 in the World. I was mostly being facetious, but not totally.
Ricky Dornbush. Because the USFS BELIEVES in him. Harrumph!
Ross is a fantastic jumper however his movements are a little too stiff and robotic for me and I think for that reason he will not be able to climb nearer to the top where worlds is concerned. Josh Farris is far more lyrical. I think as the current WJ champ he should be put out there
Farris is not the current WJ champ.
Ahh my mistake - silver medalist - he was close enough though!
Farris and Brown
Maybe that would give Abbott and Rippon the kick in the pants they need...
And Josh was 2nd at JW, but he only missed out on being JW Champ by 0.48!
Abbott and Miner. That should have been the World team too.
Jeremy and Adam !
Or Joshua and Jason !
I would say Jeremy and Adam.
I was not impressed at the USN by Farris or Brown because of the number of mistakes they made on jumps. Rest of the skating was fine. However, you cannot do well on the international scene without consistent jumps. They are both young and could develop into something special. Right now though Jeremy and Ross are our best hope. I thought Adam had conquered his problems on jumps, but it does not look like he has. He may need more time to improve his jumps. Ross has them already; now it's time to work on presentation.
2 things regarding nationals for Farris and Brown. 1.) they had skated junior FS all season, so the extra 30 seconds and step sequence was new and probably affected their stamina b/c they were training their junior FS all fall 2.) they were the only 2 senior men eligible by age for JW, I think they both knew realistically they didn't have a shot at making senior worlds (Jason with no 3a no way would have been sent and Joshua could have with great skates but even then he'd probably have gotten held back to at least 4th by PCS inflation for other skaters), plus they both medaled at/won their JGP events and the JGP final, so they knew their spots at JW were pretty much all but secured. I tend to think they were probably training to peak at JW honestly, and were tired at Nationals after a long fall season on the JGP and then the longer FS was new and tiring for both. Considering how well they both skated at JW I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case, of course they had hoped to skate better at nationals, but their coaches may have been pacing them to focus more on the junior programs and be at their best for JW in March, rather than Nationals in January. Just a thought.
I agree neither was that impressive at Nationals but I think both were VERY impressive at JW and I'd like to see them be considered for WTT, if sent, maybe we'd see Jason go for a 3a and Josh for a 4t.
Brian Boitano and Dick Button
Works for me. How about David and Hayes Jenkins.
Michelle Kwan and Gracie Gold?
Jeremy is pretty much forced to go and Ross deserves it after 4CC
From the votes so far, Ross is beating Adam.
Yes, please let it be BOSS MINER
That's a tough decision. Adam has stronger international credentials. They may lean toward Adam just because of that. On the other hand, Ross did make the podium at 4CC.
On the other hand ...... On the other hand ...... On the other hand ......
Dear USFSA:
Feel free to jump in at any time.
It's hard to choose between them.
How about 'Evan Lysacek'? Is it impossible??

Holiday Food Allergy Tips
by Laurie Harada,
Executive director of Food Allergy Canada
• Teach young children to say "no thanks" to unapproved foods. 'Tis the season of sharing and well-meaning adults and children, who will offer food without consulting the parent. Through role play, teach your child to say "no thanks" politely to anything that you have not approved.
• Bring goodies so your child doesn't feel left out. Involve him in selecting or making a really special (read "junky") treat. A pack of raisins won't measure up when all the other kids get Santa Claus holiday cupcakes.
• Be careful of what others don't know. Friends and relatives may know how to avoid obvious allergens such as peanuts and nuts in baked goods, while they may forget about nut extracts or that butter is, in fact, made from milk. They might not be aware of the risks of cross-contamination through shared utensils. They also may not be label savvy, and not understand the importance of "may contain" warnings.
• Be a role model; children learn from our behavior. Though I've instinctively wanted to remove all shrimp rings and nut trays, I came to realize that my son had to learn how to avoid food allergens as they will be around him in everyday life, not just during the holidays. We've taught him to avoid buffets, scrutinize food labels, and wash his hands regularly. Since he's now in his teens, he knows to make his own inquiries.
• Offer to bring a dish which is safe for your child and can be enjoyed by others. At our neighborhood New Year's Eve potluck, my family takes care of the kids' and teens' meal – pizza, veggies, and potato chips – a popular treat.

Compare Tax Fraud attorneys near you. Read reviews, see Avvo Ratings, and contact them directly.
If a taxing authority accuses you of under-reporting your taxes in any way, such as falsely reporting your earnings, inflating your expenses, or claiming undeserved deductions, then you may benefit from the services of a tax fraud attorney. A tax fraud attorney represents clients who the government claims have manipulated the system by paying too little tax, or no tax at all. You may be fined or even jailed for tax fraud; in fact, Richard Hatch, the first winner of the television show "Survivor," was recently jailed for not paying federal taxes on his $1 million winnings.

Excerpt: "The Philadelphia Eagles went from one of the more dominating teams in the NFC East prior to 2011 to the bottom of the standings in 2012. A lot of things have gone wrong, from poor play from star players to poor coaching decisions. Their poor four-win 2012 season has already resulted in cutting players and firing coaches.
In the coming days we will be taking a look at the current state of all three of the Giants' NFC East foes as the off-season rolls along. Today we focus on the Eagles.2012 Finish: 4-12, 4th place
Changes already made: Fired head coach Andy Reid (hired University of Oregon head coach Chip Kelly), Fired defensive coordinator Juan Castillo during regular season
Changes to come: Hiring of a new defensive coordinator, hiring of Pat Shurmur in the next few days (title still not yet known)The Eagles wasted no time in firing Reid and to everyone's surprise they hired Oregon's head coach Chip Kelly. Kelly was the Oregon coach from 2009-2012. In 2010 he led the Ducks to a BCS National Championship game, but lost to Cam Newton and Auburn, 22-19. In 2011 the Ducks defeated Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl, 45-38, and lost to Kansas State in 2012 in the Fiesta Bowl, 35-17. The Ducks won the Pac-12 in Kelly's first three years as head coach.Kelly is known for having a fast-paced style of offense at Oregon and coached Oregon's all-time leading rusher LaMichael James, who is currently going to Super Bowl XLVII with the San Francisco 49ers. It's not expected for Kelly to bring the same offense he had at Oregon to the NFL, but the pace of the game should increase." Read more...

Are you making the Bow Tuck Purses and totes? Let's Chit Chat!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Are you making the Bow Tuck Purses and totes? Let's Chit Chat!
I have seen so many pictures on here about these purses. I did a search and found the pattern.
I was wondering if this pattern is good for a someone that hasn't made a purse before?
The pattern is pretty straight forward, so I think it would be fine as a first purse project. I suggest reading through the directions once or twice before starting to get a feel for what you will be doing. I use a walking foot, it helps with the bulk. I also make my handles a couple of inches longer, which requires an extra strip of fabric and fleece. I tend to work assembly line style. I fuse all the fleece on, do all the quilting and prepare the handles. If I make another for myself, I'll add a snap rather than the button/loop.
I made myself the mini one, and it's still big for me as an every day purse. If it weren't for the glasses, I would have stuck with my cell phone wallet! LOL I've made several, sold 3 so far. They are very pretty!
Here is the Tute on making them, I think it is pretty easy, I had never made a purse before. Just follow the directions after the first one they are a breeze!
They are easy I never made a purse and found it simple enough.
I am jumping on the bandwagon today. I bought the pattern and some fabric to make 3 bags, so here I go. It is a nice rainy day today so I just may get them all done.
I am in the process of cutting all the fabrics I need to make about 10 purses and/or totes - I just love making them. I've sort of put on hold my quilting projects just to do these- I figure get some Christmas gifts out of the way now!! ;)
I've been making bags of my own design. With a lot of trial and error.
I would construct this bag (with a full inner section) completely differently than how I did it this time.
I love love love this pattern, it is super easy and it gives you an opportunity to practice free motion quilting. I have made 6 of these purses and I sold my first one for $50.

$10,000,000,000 or there abouts,,,just for parts,,
just curious what legal AK builders are getting to build say a matching romy g kit with barrel. You supply the 922 parts, rivets, polish 80% reciever. Ive got a kit and since these things arent all that cheap anymore. The more I think about it, Im wondering if it would be better to just send it out and have it professionally built. Im sure others out there have kits stashed and never actually built it. The guy I bought this kit from had another matching kit but he drilled the rivets out and almost punched through the chamber. Im not that careless, but I dont have the proper rivet crusher ( I do have a bolt cutter) but reading how some folks have issues getting the rivets crushed right the first few times, headspaced etc. jim
$10,000,000,000 or there abouts,,,just for parts,,
Restorit is one who can build it for you.. Their are others here, be damned if I can remember their names..
Just my .02.. I would go with the 100% receiver and let them do the whole 9 yards..
twa is not far off on the prices these days.. That smart ass..
You will not need and FFL on the trip too the builder, if their is no receiver involved.. Just parts..
Coming back you would need a local FFL to accept it on your transfer back too you..
"Man needs but two things to survive alone in the woods. A blow up female doll and his trusty old AK-47" - Thomas Jefferson 1781
restoreit1 is not a FFL as far as I know. No building.
Likely in the $350 -$400 range for the build and finish by a FFL smith. The 80% could make the price higher based on extra work and heat treat etc.
The 80% "not a receiver" might raise issues unless the FFL has an 07 manufacturing FFL. Technically he would be the one manufacturing the receiver, but as a sub-contractor for you using your materials. Normally with a 100% receiver that would be OK for a regular gunsmith to do, but I haven't seen any rulings or letters on the 80% blank issue.
In any event, he would charge more for the receiver work alone than a Nodak would cost.
I do not believe a gunsmith can assemble an AK for another individual nor create/manufacture a receiver from a blank without a FFL. He can assemble parts on a barrel etc., but not a receivered rifle or make a receiver for sale or services from a flat or shell.
Last edited by akblue; 03-10-2013 at 10:02 PM.
I was just curious what a regular class 07 FFL charges, I sent my PSL kit to Iron clad armory to have built and I thought it was very reasonable. Thier website shows they build AK's for 300 bucks on your kit and reciever. I was just curious if thats about the going rate. jim
I have a type 07 FFL. I am planing on get into doing Ak47 builds with the help of a friend. I can tell you the requirements. Any time I add value to a gun it is considered to be manufacturing by the ATF. If I blue a barrel for a gun it is adding value and I have to report it as a build. On a parts build the receiver must have the name of my company, city where built, the cal., and a serial number. I do not know what the going price is here, but I would say around $200 to 300 hundred.

I find a lot of joy in the little projects we do. A quilt is a lovely time honored item no doubt but at times just a little project provides such a sense of joy and accomplishment (big part) and that is what keeps me quilting. little things instant gratification and lots of TADA moments vs just one or two big ones a year. I like the excitement of new. new ideas, new concepts, new color palates it all is fun.
I love what I am seeing cant wait to trade. Mine is easter *like and think yellow gingham, pink and lavender gingham as the main players.. soft and pretty if you like holidays this might work for you . not too much longer now. got my turned in name via PM to Rhonda so hope you do too and are included in the finished list for swapping. yahoooo! thank you Rhonda so much for running this and also the scrappy swap and even the block of the week quilt along. You certainly keep busy!

UPPER KEYS -- When local entrepreneur Christi Allen's and artist Morgo Martin's paths crossed, they say it was the beginning of something indescribable.
Martin is a world traveler who captures her journeys through watercolor and other media. Allen is a Pilates instructor who owns studios in Key Largo and Marathon.
Together, they have opened Cherish the Keys Art Gallery on Plantation Key, just south of Plaza 88. Martin, who describes herself as a bit nomadic, has agreed to spend four years in the Upper Keys working for the gallery.
"I am definitely going to keep traveling, but this will be a home base," she says.
Allen found Martin in the Keys looking for work and soon they decided on forming the art gallery.
"A magical thing happened to us," Allen said.
Martin didn't always focus on watercolor. She also expresses herself through digital and acrylic painting, tattooing, film and design.
"I always like to do things my own way," Martin said.
Bankrolled by Allen and stockpiled by the young artist, the gallery will host a grand opening party soon.
"We are all vested in this gallery," Allen said.
The galleries paintings will be displayed on reclaimed wood from lobster traps.
Scott Kringeta gathers the used traps, then restores and refurbishes them as frames. Kringeta also provides other custom frames at the gallery.
Along with Martin's paintings and Kringeta's frames, the gallery features the underwater photography of Annette Robertson, a Miami native who has spent much of her life diving the Keys and exploring the Everglades National Park.
Prices for the art vary based on print size and accompanying frame. Originals are also available for purchase.
For more information about the gallery, call (305) 923-4345 or visit www.cherishthekeysartgallery.com.

Making Good Decisions
Making Good Decisions
More From Bethany
Bethany's Biography
Ideal Interview Subject: Ashley Fiolek
Source of Strength: Her Christian faith
Three Words to Describe Herself: Adventurous, fun, and beautiful
Personal Philosophy: "Love God, love others and love myself."
Born into a family of surfers in Kauai, Hawaii, Bethany Hamilton has been surfing almost as long as she has been walking. Entering her first competition around age four, and sponsored by age nine, Bethany's love for the sport was immediately apparent. Despite a shark attack that took her left arm at age 13, her dedication has remained unwavering. Just one month after the tragic accident, Bethany was back on her surf board to pursue her goal of becoming a professional surfer, winning her first national title in 2005 and turning pro in 2007. Since then she has participated in numerous ASP and World Tour events, taking second place at the ASP 2009 World Junior Championships. Her courage and determination was documented in her 2004 autobiography Soul Surfer, and a major motion picture bearing the same title (released theatrically in April of 2011).

Thrift store opens in Jenkins
In Jenkins, right on Highway 371, a longtime empty building is seeing new business as Finders Keepers Thrift Store.
Nona Malz decided the building that once housed a used car lot would serve well as a place to sell collectibles and other items she purchases from auctions and garage sales. The business is a sort of extension of a hobby she learned from her mother.
"We'll buy out garage sales if people don't want to deal with them or we go to auctions. A lot of the stuff we have I've accumulated over the years because I'm kind of an auction hound and like to garage sale," she said. "Unfortunately, I can't keep what I find."
This business is in good company, as there are already multiple antique and thrift stores within walking distance, including Annie's Attic and Castoffs Secondhand Store. The owners of both businesses made Malz feel welcome.
"Competition is good. Dana (from Castoffs) has been welcoming. He stopped by," Malz said. "And we talked with Sue by email and they're happy to have us in town. I think the more stores people have the ability to see what we have, the more chance people are going to drive a little further to see what we have in town."
The business is also a family ordeal as her daughter, Brianna, is a regular employee there working as sales manager.
Finders Keepers offers mostly collectibles, some of which are also antiques, though that is not the store's focus. They also stock clothing for junior sizes and up.
"We've got a variety of stuff, and it's amazing to see what one person would think is fabulous and another would think it is junk," Malz said.
In addition, Malz is interested in organizing a local flea market in Jenkins along with other interested parties.
"We have a few interested parties that are going to hopefully be setting up this summer. That should bring people into town and hopefully some added shopping for people coming into town," she said.
The business opened April. Finders Keepers will operate on a seasonal schedule, from April to October, Thursday to Saturday. Malz may include some Sunday business.

Video: Dems accuse Tea Party of wanting minorities "hanging on a tree," "at war" with a black President
posted at 9:25 am on August 31, 2011 by Ed Morrissey
What happens when your entire political philosophy is so discredited that you can't even make a coherent argument for it any longer? If you're Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN), it's simple — you just call your opponents who are winning the debate "racists" and accuse them of being comfortable with lynching:
A top lawmaker in the Congressional Black Caucus says tea partiers on Capitol Hill would like to see African Americans hanging from trees and accuses the movement of wishing for a return to the Jim Crow era.
Rep. Andre Carson, a Democrat from Indiana who serves as the CBC's chief vote counter, said at a CBC event in Miami that some in Congress would "love to see us as second-class citizens" and "some of them in Congress right now of this tea party movement would love to see you and me…hanging on a tree."
It's not the first time the "Jim Crow" accusation has flown this year. Earlier it was the chair of the DNC, Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, who tossed out that smear, only to shamefacedly retract it when it made national news. Why? Because it was reprehensible demagoguery of the worst kind, a fact that was obvious to everyone — or at least obvious to everyone outside the CBC.
Via the Right Scoop, Allen West is now reconsidering his CBC membership:
And for good reason. The civil-rights movement was not a political effort aimed primarily at deficit spending and massive government growth. It was a movement intended to eliminate real and official racial discrimination. Carson's words are not just evil, they are entirely ignorant and as damaging to the cause of equality as they are to rational political debate. Not only should Carson be reprimanded for his words, he should really be shunned, and hopefully replaced in the next election by voters in his district.
Update: I had initially identified Carson as D-IL, but he is D-IN. I've fixed it above.

Got a call about a swarm yesterday. A fellow beekeeper who did not want the swam called me to see if I would be interested in it. After a few calls back and forth about the location of the swarm, I was given an ok to go get it. Got to the location and the swarm was in a very ideal location. I was just off a bit on the location but the fellow that called in the swarm showed up soon after I arrived. He told me to walk over towards him and just take a look. Well, there it was.
This swarm was located at a retirement community in a pine tree behind some billboards.
Well, if all swarms are this easy (I know they are not)... I will take as many as I can get.
The swarm was hived about 30 minutes later in one of my top bar hives that had a package abscond from earlier.

|1950's Frigidaire compressor relay

|Hi all - got a question I am hoping you can help answer.
I recently bought a 1950's era frigidaire refrigerator to turn into a kegerator (I know, great idea.) Since June it has been working without a hitch, but when I got home from holidays a few days ago, I noticed the ever-frightening leak on the floor. I opened the door and the hombrew was at a measly 45°F. Not ok.
So I checked around to find the problem and after some research decided it was probably the compressor relay (the usual, click, compressor turns on, a few seconds later shuts off, repeat, rinse, etc.) Since this is an older appliance, I am having a hard time finding the part I need. In fact only one place I know has a relay similar to the one I need. Info is below.
Relay info:
Frigidaire 1/8hp YT relay
Model # 5850824
Serial # 102231
Fridge info:
Model # 5400336
Serial #: 34B 46850 (although this may be related to the compressor since it was mounted on the condenser coil support rack)
My question is two pronged.
1. Since the ohm meter turned up nothing, I am assuming this is the culprit. If it is, can anyone see in the attached picture what the problem is and if it's fixable?
2. If it's not fixable and I have to order a new one, can I substitue any old relay that matches the compressor hp I have? Or do I have to find this exact one?
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

|Check the resistance between the compressor's terminals. Should have continuity from all three tests. Not sure how much on something this old. No point in buying a relay if the comp is no good. What kind of refrigerant does this use? Does the unit tag mention it?

|Good point. Will check the compressor continuity tonight.
I only see the charge pressure and amp draw on the nameplate, but nothing related to what refrigerant is used. Probably R12 or something highly destructive like that. Will post more info tonight when I check it out.

|Ok, compressor continuity test shows that it is working correctly. Strangly enough, the relay does as well. Turns out my fuse was bad on my ohmeter so that's why it wasn't registering.
So compressor has continuity, and relay has continuity...only thing with the relay is that I have to physically pull the magnets apart to get it to open the circuit. So maybe when it's energizing the material isn't demagnetizing? Maybe the resistor in the relay is bad?
Any thoughts now? Should I reconnect the relay and leave to cover off to see what happens when the compressor kicks on?
Oh, and FYI, refrigerant is Dichlorotetrafluoroethane (CFC-114). Yikes, not refilling that anytime soon.

|So does the compressor run? I'm guessing not.
At the risk of incurring the wrath of the esteemed members of the panel, sounds like you may want to try a 3'n1 starter. I'd go with an RCO810 but a RCO410 would probably work as well. If you want temperature protection, put an overload on the common terminal and we'll keep nickfixit happy.

|No, the compressor clicks on, 1 second later clicks off. For the past few months it would cool fine, and the only problem I saw was that it would cycle on and off every 20 minutes or so. I have the fridge on the lowest setting and it still keeps it cool enough for me.
So still sounds like you feel the relay is at fault if the continuity test worked on the compressor. Guess it's not really worth it to try and repair this old relay if I can just substitue a new one in its place. I was mainly worried about not being able to swap new parts for old ones. I'll give it a try and let you know.
Thanks for the help.

|Ok, so I got the 3-in-1 solid state relay overload start capacitor combo...but am having some touble figuring out how to apply it to my ancient fridge. Forgive my ignorance on wiring, but I can't seem to figure out how to make this work with what I've got. I attached a drawing of the wiring diagram of my fridge connected to the old relay (pictured in the first post...for reference in the first picture: L terminal on the right, S on left, M underneath). I have attached the 3-in-1 wiring diagram as well as my old hookup to the old relay in this post.
So the problem is the terminals are not labeled on the compressor, but since two of the terminals are bridged at the compressor, I assume those are the start/run and the lone terminal is the common. So referencing to the attached picture in this post, I should connect the RECO white to #3 on the compressor, red to #2, and black to #1.
Then of course the problem is that is doesn't make sense for me to connect the two wire nut connections directly to the oulet for power...but maybe that's right? (please note, no 3rd grounding prong on this fridge) The part I label "fridge" in the diagram is coming fron inside the fridge cabinet, and I assume connects to the light, temperature switch, etc.
So I guess my real question is, do I just connect this up the same way I described and just guess on the start/run terminals on the compressor? Also, does the power connections on the RCO go directly to the outlet? I am thinking not, but maybe I'm missing something.
Any help would be great.
Thanks all.

|Just for temporary you can hook the two black wires to the cord or a jumper cord that will be plugged into line voltage, 120 volts. The red wire from the 3 in 1 goes to the "run" terminal on the compressor. White goes to "start" and black goes to the "common" terminal. This set up will be to see if the compressor will run.
I think your compressor is shot, and that is why it won't start. So you can wire it like I described above and then plug it in to see if the compressor starts and runs. If it starts for a few seconds then quits again, its probably pulling way too much amperage and the compressor is bad.
On the old refrigerators they used to use the relay box as a terminal box too. One wire would go to the thermostat and then come back down to the relay. Another might go to the light switch. You can worry about that later, if the compressor runs OK on the temporary wiring. If you have an amp meter you could get a better idea of the condition of your compressor. They usually pull 3 or 4 amps when running. A bad one can pull 7 or 8 or more amps and will trip the overload protector in a short amount of time.

|Thanks for the info. I'll try it when I get home tonight.
Is there any way to figure out which terminal on the compressor is the start, run or common? In the above picture, I was assuming terminal 1 on the compressor is the common since the other two are jumpered at the compressor. But is there a standard for which compressor line gets connected to the S, L and M on the relay?

|When you say they are "jumpered at the compressor" what do you mean? If you are saying there is continuity between the two terminals, but no wire on the outside, that would be correct. There should also be continuity between the common terminal and the other two. the actual resistance is going to be small, say like about 6 ohms or so from the common terminal to run, and 8 or so ohms from the common terminal to the start terminal.
Normally m = motor or the "run" terminal of the comp. S = the start terminal of the comp. The common usually goes straight to the compressor, though it may have a overload protector in between line and the terminal of the comp.

|ok, pic of compressor posted below. You can see the "jumpered" connection between the middle and right terminals I was talking about.
Referring to the wiring diagram above, far left terminal in pic is connected to neutral from power source, middle terminal to the S terminal on the relay, and the far right terminal is conncted to the M terminal on the relay.

|I don't know, maybe I've had a really long day, but that picture makes little sense to me. Is that really a wire between terminals 2 and 3? Terminal 2 is labeled "start/run" ?
I think we need to ask a member that has been doing this for over 25 years. I've worked on pancake compressors and lots of stuff from the fifties and sixties, but I don't remember ever seeing one with a jumper between two terminals. Is the wiring as brittle as it looks?

|Oh, it's brittle alright. Don't know why they're jumpered. Maybe that's how it was done back then.
I hooked it up and it ran for a good minute before the relay tripped it off. Waited a minute or two and it ran again, this time only for 30 seconds.
I took a reading between the motor terminal and the common terminal, (pic below) and on the multimeter setting for 150VAC I get 125volts and 0.8kohms. So that tells me I'm pulling only 0.15amps? Doesn't sound right to me.

|That just doesn't look right!!!! Maybe that thing that looks like a jumper between terminals 2 and 3 is a stray piece of wiring that somehow got shorted across those two terminals creating your problem.
Did you by anychance every look at this area on the compressor while it was still working before you started having these problems? Remember if looked any different?
Do your have an actual wiring diagram from the unit that you could scan or take a picture of for us to see?

No, it can't be right. You set your meter to 150V AC right... then you're reading 12,5 at the 0-15V range, multiplied by 10 that would give 125V which is OK. BUT, and this is a BIG BUT, the Ohms scale isn't working when you measure voltage. Although the pointer points some reading on the Ohms scale (0,8k in this case) it is not true. You can't measure resistance like this. Actually if you tried, you would destroy the meter.
Remove the wires from the two terminals, set your meter to Ohms, calibrate the meter (by clamping the leads together and adjusting the calibration wheel until you read zero). Then, and only then, touch the leads to those prongs and get the reading. I bet you will get something closer to the truth, like 5 to 10 Ohms, maybe just some 3 or 4.
Another BIG BUT. The resistance reading was done with DC and the winding inductance isn't accounted for. From 125V, 8 Ohms you would get 15,6A which is neither true. If you need to know the current draw, you will need to measure it. If your meter does not have an AC Ampere range of at least 5A span, preferably 10A, don't do this. OK, if it does, go on. Put one of the wires back on its own prong. Set your meter to said range, clamp one lead to the free wire, one to the free prong. It's AC, polarity doesn't matter. Fire it up and get the reading.

|BTW the object in the picture doesn't look like a jumper. Could just be a molding artifact. If there was a a jumper, it wouldn't be necessary to come to that point with two wires.

|You are correct, the object in the picture fell off when I wiggled it. Must have been some debris from the wiring. So yes, there is no jumper between terminals 2 & 3. Sorry for not checking that more closely...was hard to get my fingers around there.
Next problem, as you said, I just looked at the scale and read ohms while I was measuring voltage. So I recalibrated the unit to 0, set the selector to RX 1KOhms (the only resistance setting it has) and tested the terminals. They read 0. I'm guessing my little radioshak analog multimeter doesn't have a range that I can use to measure this...
Ok, so new digital multimeter purchased and a reading (while setting it to the 200Ohms range) gives me 4.9. I assume that's 49 Ohms, which would mean I'm pulling close to 2.5amps? that sounds much better to me, but not sure if it's correct.
Let me know what you think. Again, sorry for the ingorance on multimeters and resistance readings. First time for me.

|Bet it's 4,9. Remember, DC resistance measuring does not give the impedance of the winding at a given frequency. Say, if the winding draws some 3A at 125V, 60Hz, we get impedance around 42 Ohms. But resistance is arounf 5 Ohms.

|Not sure if I'm exactly following what you wrote. But if I am only measuring 5 ohms, does that mean the compressor is drawing something like 25amps at 125Volts?
So since the compressor runs for a few minutes and doesn't just shut off when I temporarily hook it up the way That Guy suggested, I guess I'd like to check out how to hook up the 3-in-1 to see if it will run for an extended period of time. I can't seem to figure out how to hook it up correctly though. Any ideas on how to do it?
First crack at wiring it below. With this setup the light works inside, but the compressor doesn't start at all. The two lines labeled "P" coming out of the RCO are the black power lines.

My log is kind of the point, Kytal.
Look at the amount of AoE a frost mage can sustain while also focusing single target on Whirl Turtles and Tortos. Warlocks do it better than we do, but other classes are massively behind both mages and locks unless they strictly pad.
Avoiding bats, why? You can just keep them slowed until they slowly die by utilizing smart AoE tactics that come at a minimal single target loss.

I'm posting this on behalf of "Doug Haslett ..CCE volunteer.." <firstname.lastname@example.com>
I was asking Dr. Dewey Caron about using
various dried materials as smoker fuel to
assist 'Varroa destructor (jacobsoni)` in
becoming more susceptible to gravity (ie. fall
off bees). He had me contact Mr Eischen, Weslaco
Bee Lab. Mr Eischen stated using the dried
seedheads of staghorn sumac works.
I understand (from various past readings in ABJ)
some research has been done using various
essential oils.
What benefit, if any, is there to harvest
`Mentha' spp, allow it to dry & then use as fuel?
Can I beneficially use of whole aerial portion of
plant instead of using only 'esential oils'.
I grow apple mint, chocolate mint, spearmint
& peppermint for teas.
Any recommendation or directions to published
info would be appreciated or any insights of
ongoing research.
I am new to apiculture, have taken all the new
`Master Beekeeper' series of classes offered so
far from Cornell University via coop ext by Mr
Dennis van Engelsdorp. I am interested in
keeping a few hives of bees with minimum of
chemical treatment (hopefully none). He has
told the classes about the work that Dr. Nick
Calderone tried with 'esential oils'.
Thank you for your assistance/redirection.

text: I posted about a problem with the intermediate steering shaft on silverados here some time ago. I contacted GM folks, got the story that the noise/vibration I felt in my 2002 Z71's steering was a known problem, not a safety hazard and would not be the subject of a recall. Today, however, after discussion with my local Chev. dealer, the intermediate steering shaft ( that portion of the mechanism which is observable under the hood and under the dash) has been replaced under a "goodwill" program, free of charge. To recap, I felt the vibration and took the truck to the dealer (under warranty) and they installed a 'lube kit' at 9600 miles. At 15K miles, the problem was back. Spoke to the dealer and GM folks. They knew that the problem existed, but no recall, no program. Now there is a program bulletin and a fix?, anyway they replaced the shaft. Thanks to GM, may yours be fixable also. shaman6
