HF tools, good or bad
I have always been a big advocate of buying good name brand tools and I still would NEVER recommend the cheapies for some one using them to make a living, however, do we really need Snap-on for the home garage? Since I sold out and retired in January and let a lot of my tools go with the shop I have bought a LOT of HF stuff, some really good, some not so good and some just plain junk. I thought it might be interesting to hear about other's experiences with these tools, such things as tool life, performance for the tool type as opposed to name brands, possible safety hazards due to poor quality and of course warranty. I have made my living with Snap-on, S&K and several others and I would not have then, nor would I now, attempt to use the cheap import tools to make a living. I realize that for some people the price of the HF stuff compared to "good" tools can make the difference between owning a tool or doing without and for that reason these things may be a real bargain if we can sort out the good from the bad. How about it what do you guys think, can these things be a bargain or are they a waste of money and should they always be avoided?
i think there hand tools are junk, with that said, i don't know why i keep buying them,i guess i think i am getting a bargain
every tool I have bought is a HF brand ( except a 5 peice set of craftsmen professional line wrenches ), why because there cheap and I can use them and afford to buy them and still afford the parts for my cars, so I can actully use them, rather than have bragging rights because, I have ( fill in the blank with any " expensive tool comapny " ). right now being a high school student, I'v got a car to work on, a job that does not require your own tools ( work at ski resort in rentals dept ) and having " good " tools makes no logical sense to me, other than I would have bragging rights, but I would have very limated $$ for my cars, so I would have nice tools, with no use for them. I will get Snap on tools here shortly, thru my auto class I can get 50% off snap on industrial tools, I'd be stupid not to collect what I can aford to at that price. as for quality, I havn't had a tool fail yet, have a few of there sockets and, there ok- marginal fit at best. the die grinder I have works great, the cut off tool works good ( tho my compressor does not keep up ), my MIG 100 flux wire welder works good, tho my brother who loves to use it, does not like to clean the tip and it seems to catch very easy if the tip is dirty, the 14" chop saw I paid $49 for works flawlessly. We do have 1 problem with somthing bought from HF tho, my mom and I bought 1 of the tent type garages ( we have 1 from a good company, and have had it for 1 season ) and put it all up, the tubes were held togther by tension, so my mom put in #8 self tapping screws to hold it togther, put the tarp on and everything seemed ok, we even put the special no pull out anchors ( HF anchors were 2' tent stakes basicly ) , until the first wind when it flexed appart and the rod that goes across the front, a 2 peice rod that my mom never screwed togther ( goes on after the tarp is on ) flexed apart and dropped, this created a void and put a lot of preassure on the zipper in the center, when I found it, it was blown up like a baloon from the air preassure, when me and my mom went out to fix it, the zipper broke and we had to take the front and back wall off of the tent, so it wouldn't destroy itself.
I think you just have to use your head when buying these tools. You can buy a cheap welding cart and be very satisfied with it. But you can buy a crow bar that shatters the first time you use it. This site is very useful because you can ask people what tools are good from HF and what tools to stay away from. That is better than trial and error. I think they are wonderful if you know what to stay away from. I bought a sand blaster that works great but needed work right off the bat. like better hose clamps and a better dead man valve. This was still a dirt cheap tool that is just as good as any other besides the stated. I love HF. It makes me happy! I have bought many tools that I will just use occasionally and love them. I would not buy say a HF socket set.
Some of thier stuff is OK for occassional use and some is OK for any use Like bar clamps , stuff like that...and a lot is just junk. The purple spray gun is a real good gun for a cheap one, the cut off saw is good. The air file is OK. I do not like thier hand tools...sockets, wrenches ,etc......When it comes to sockets sets and wrenches...a cheap tool is a expensive tool because you will have skint hands, busted knuckles, rounded corners on nuts and bolts. You will be in the middle of a job break a wrench....have to drive to town to get one to finish the job etc. Yep cheap tools can be expensive. If your going to be using your tools a lot and want them to last forever.....you get what you pay for....buy good ones. That is my humble opinion and I made my living with them for 39 years.
Well here's my $.02
Air Die Grinder - OK had to play with it a little, but it works good and gets used a lot
Air Ratchet - Good but used a lot and loosing tourqe now, may need a cleaning.
4 piece cresent wrench set - pretty good so far
$99 Flux Core welder - junk the wire actually came though the hose first time I put it together. took it back
Hammer and dolly set - looks good and has a good selection. Just got it so I've only use it a little.
2" Abrasive disks for die grinder - not so good. Chews though them pretty quick
4-1/2" cut off wheels and griding wheels - go pretty quick but at $5.00 a pack, I think I'm still getting a bargin
4-1/2" grinder - go through one a year basically but it's get a lot of use / abuse
drill bit sets - not impressed the ones in this last set are snapping in half.
60 gallon 3.5 hp air compressor - bought remanufacturered for $339 plus I paid $50 for the extended warrenty so I get two year replacement.
autodarkening helment - very pleased
jigsaw - absolute junk
I tend to get a lot of consumables there too like welding wire, sandpaper, tape, paint brushes (box of 12 for 3 bucks on sale) and most of the time it's ok
I feel better I'm not the only one going there often. lol Hard enough wanting to spend more on quality parts going more into the cars. I hear some pros mention even some of there pricey name brand air tools die before some of there lower costing ones do. And usually keep them around too. Not saying always go cheap though. I'd like to upgrade eventually.
So far been happy with & still working:.
60 gallon 3.5 hp $329 refurbished and shipped to the house,
0118 $20 HF blue air filter reg 40 micron, had to fix a leak on one
40131 $20 50ft capacity with 30ft 3/8 hose reel, leaks a little bit
25 ft retractable 3/8 red hose $29 no leaks at all
6" DA sander $20
46507 7" Polisher/Buffer $25 surprised its still working good
Reverse flow die grinder $15
Mini die grinder $10
Straight line sander $29 works great
Air duster $3
Amflo hi flo fittings $1 each
Stuff I used that doesn't last that long but does the job:
$10 rotary tool,
$10 4 1/2 grinder
Unsatisfied about that doesn't do well:
Chicago 90amp 110v arc welder
Generic sand paper
I become amused when I go by a HARBOR FREIGHT. With all the bargain prices one can get on the internet now concerning quality tools, I can see no reason to buy the stuff.
Some of that stuff will get you hurt.
Auto-darkening welding helmet, Love It
8 Bench Top Drill Press, Very Satisfied
Low Buck sockets and wrenches for my Junk Yard tool bag, they do the job
4 Bench Vise, Love It
Air Fittings etc, No Problems at all
Non HVLP mini detail spray gun, Very Satisfied
Several months back I bought a few Harbor Freight tools from my nephew. He had bought them new then lost his job and needed cash for rent. A air saw, grinder, and parts washer all are cheep, crappy, and Chinese made.
Support U.S. workers when you can.
I got a ball joint installer, made in China, just about did the job.
I was expecting a sturdy C clamp type of press but got a puzzle made in metal.
Their internal spring compressor, also made in china, the theads wore out after several uses, lethal piece.
Over the years I bought a benchtop mill, and a drill press, a little baby lathe, and some spray guns and a pressure pot, and a bunch of cheap air tools. I bought a set of big drill bits and a dial indicator and a bunch of end mills and lathe bits as well as a tiny benchtop bead blast cabinet. Some C clamp and bar clamps too.
I made a bunch of little parts with that benchtop mill, which couldn't hold any kind of tolerance or make a decent surface finish when machining aluminum, much less steel. Just too much slop in the screws and ways , and not enough rigidity in the castings. I sold it for 1/2 what I paid for it when I got my big mill.
same with the lathe.
Dial indicator has withstood much abuse, I still use it, but it is not to be confused with swiss, or american or one particular japanese brand, quality precision measuring tools. I have some cheapo calipers that I'm sure come from the same factory in china, I'll use them around the shop. They are cheap enough to keep a few laying around the shop for quick measures of non critical stuff. I won't make anything that requires any close tolerance with them though. (= or - .001 is what I would call close)
I still have the drill press and after 17 years it will still drill a hole, even though the spindle is bent some. I got my moneys worth out of it for sure. It is definatly not a rockwell.
The spray guns were all ok, but I wouldn't know the difference.
I made an air conditioner flusher out of the pressure pot when I found a better one at a swap meet.
The cheap air tools I use, even though they vibrate like hell and have no power and they break carbide burrs because the spindles and collets are all out of round so you beat your work to death, but when they crap out you toss em without batting an eye.
I had a couple of impact wrenches that were ok for small fasteners and but not much else. I would try them on suspension work and wind up using my breaker bar.
The bar clamps are OK, but DO NOT trust anything of value to them. The C-Clamps look like the threads are cut with hatchets by 8 year old slave labor.
The beadblast cabinet was a joke. It blew beads in my face and all over the shop. I still have it too. Anyone who wants it can come by and pick it up.
The drills are still in my drill drawer, next to the VA and C-L drills that replaced them. I use them when I drill through dirt and road mung, so I don't mess up my better stuff.
The experience I have with HF is most always the same. Aside from a few things that I have had good luck with, HF stuff is for getting you in the door with tools, making you want something better, when you find out just what a real tool feels like. The good thing is they are cheap and no great loss when they crap out or are replaced with the real stuff.. Hopefully you are standing back when they fail.
You couldn't pay me to put one of their wrenches or sockets on a fastener. I put a brand new 15/16 wrench on a nut one time AND IT SNAPPED! That's all it took for me.
They will return stuff without any problem, they have good deals on some name brand stuff like vise grip and s-k and if you go to a store you will find some nice surprises.
If you want value, go to a swapmeet or garage sale and recycle. I have many tools that are snap on, matco, proto, SK and others that I got for cheap. I'll have them forever.
Later, mikey
my signature lines...not really directed at anyone in particular..
BE different....ACT normal.
No one is completely useless..They can always be used as a bad example
On the other hand, I need jack stands and am VERY reluctant to buy the cheap ones. What bothers me is how do I know that the high priced name brand ones are any better? Where can I get good ones I can trust with my life?
That kind of thing I´d go to a store where I could see/touch the article
before buying.
I´d like to see the thickness of metal and welding first.
I have an air angle die grinder that I have had for years works great. So I bought a cutoff wheel tool (with the metal shield) and use it to death. Got the straight die grinder. Works fine. Of course, I am doing body work, not porting heads. Bought a 4", 4-1/2", and a 9" electric grinder (make sure it says ball and needle bearings - I bought one of the sleeve bearing ones and it didn't last). Got the air shear - OK. Air saw leaves a little to be desired. Air ratchet so far has lasted longer than my Snap On unit did. Sandblaster is great. Bead roller required some mods, but works great once modified. Heat gun is great.

Two weeks after Avon rejected Coty's bid to snap up the company in a deal valued at $10 billion, Coty is reaffirming its interest in Avon and is urging Avon shareholders to push for the offer.
Avon, which recently rejected a bid from Coty, has ended its previously announced search for a new CEO by hiring former Johnson & Johnson executive Sheri McCoy to take the helm.
Johnson & Johnson on Tuesday named Alex Gorsky CEO of the company, effective April 26, the date of the company's annual meeting of shareholders.
Johnson & Johnson on Wednesday announced that Alex Gorsky, currently worldwide chairman of medical devices and diagnostics, and Sheri McCoy, currently worldwide chairman of pharmaceuticals, have been appointed vice chairmen of the executive committee, joining William Weldon, J&J chairman and CEO, in an expanded Office of the Chairman.

A pregnant woman shocked shoppers when she gave birth outside a Primark clothing store today.
The baby girl and her mum are "doing fine", according to medics, after the labour began on the pavement at around 2pm.
Shoppers and workers on their lunch hours stopped to look as ambulance staff held up sheets to allow some privacy for the new mother.
One onlooker said: "We were just walking out of Primark when I saw a crowd of people.
"We thought it was a street performance act. It was only when I walked out that I realised it was a woman giving birth.
"She seemed to be by herself and there were no medics there. She can't have been there very long as I didn't see her when we went in.
"It must have literally just whooshed out because someone had just placed the baby on her chest and everyone cheered."
Pauline said passers-by, police and staff from nearby shops in New Street, Birmingham, gave the woman blankets to lie on.
Pauline Morris, from New Street Bags, was yards away as the drama unfolded.
She said: "I just saw two young girls, one already had a baby with her, and one started screaming out in pain. She said, 'It's the baby coming, the head's coming out'.
"This crowd gathered around as she lay on the floor. Before we knew it, the baby was there. It was a little girl."
The handbag trader said: "I've never seen anything like it. The police came and started to put blankets around her then the paramedics and two ambulances came.
"A guy who was there was shouting 'mother and baby are doing well!'It was amazing."
John Baker, from the nearby New Street Trading Post, said some witnesses recorded the birth on their phones.
He said: "People were saying 'get back and let her breathe'. Loads of people were recording on their phone. When the baby popped out, everybody cheered."
Jake Harwood, 25, from The Works which is opposite Primark, said: "The boss had gone out for a quick cigarette and I followed him when we saw a huge gathering.
"We saw a lady on the floor and thought she must have collapsed. Then we heard this huge loud cheer. It was very bizarre. We couldn't believe it."
West Midlands Ambulance Service said: "A call came into us at 13.56 to say there was a woman in labour on New Street.
"Thankfully an off-duty doctor happened to be there at the time who stepped in to help.
"We sent two ambulances and a rapid response vehicle.
"The baby girl is doing ok and both mother and baby were taken to Birmingham City Hospital."
Twitter user @Rajjohal, who took the photo of the unfolding drama, later wrote: "So a woman just gave birth to a baby girl outside of Primark in town #onlyinBirmingham"

I think this is a great outfit. It's simple but still interesting since you paired it with yellow shoes. You don't awlays have to look like an outfit took a lot of effort. In fact sometimes when and outfit is effortless that's the appeal of it!

I think we all go to that phase and sometimes less is more. Your outfit has all the basic elements but the way you mix the colors turn this into something inspiring.
Yes, I actually turned her fave cartoon on but it doesn't always help :D Gotta find a new trick.

I think this may seem uninspired to you b/c you've figured out what silhouette/item pairings look great on you. So when you wear similar combinations often, it doesn't seem very inspiring. BUT I love how you've been playing around with colors lately -- definitely a great change, and very inspiring to me!

Exercise as it relates to Disease/Exercising with muscular dystrophy
What is Muscular Dystrophy (MD)?[edit]
Muscular Dystrophy is a progressive disorder where muscle function is gradually lost.[1] [2] It is an inherited disease where there are abnormalities in the X-linked gene leaving a deficiency of the muscle protein dystrophin. [3] Dystrophin plays a vital role in the sarcolemma membrane of the muscle fibres by protecting the muscle fibres from being damaged while the body is under mechanical stress. [4]
With over 30 different categories of muscular dystrophies, all can be characterised by wasting and weakness. [2] Even though the numerous categories, majority of the muscular dystrophy types have overlying medical measures, generally allowing a more simple diagnosis and easier treatment. [5] [6] Major forms of MD include:
|MD Forms
|Differentiating Factor
|Men and women both affected, after mechanical stress muscles may experience period of spasms or stiffening [7]
|Most known in children appear between 2-6 years old, affecting only males. Muscle weakens and decreases in size. Leads to wheelchair dependency early years. Limb deformities and some cognitive impairment[7]
|Milder. Symptoms later in life and with slower progression. Only affects males [7]
|Males and females, originates in hips and developes to shoulders, arms, and legs, walking becomes challenging. [7]
|Face, shoulder blade, upper arm bone. Advancement is slow. Short periods of rapid deterioration and weakness. Mild to completely disabling. [7]
|Present at birth, females and males, muscle weakness and sever and early contractures. Abnormalities in brain and often seizures in Fukuyama cogenital MD [7]
|Eye and throat, later years of life (40's+), slow progression with weakness in the muscles of the eye and face leading to swallowing difficulties, pelvic and shoulder weaknesses later prevalent [7]
|Men and women, distal muscles, less severe, slow progression, affects fewer muscles than other dystrophies [7]
|Rare form, only males, childhood to early teens,shoulders, upper arms and lower legs, life-threatening heart problems,muscle shortening, spread across body [7]
Muscular Dystrophy generally affects younger people which could be the reason why patients generally have a shorter lifespan, along with other complications. [2] [1] Though recently due to interventions, life expectancy is increasing. [6] With the increasing life expectancy of this symptomatic disease, new symptoms are becoming identified. [6] prevalence of this disease is around 1 in 17000 live births, with 1 in 4200 life-born boys being affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) specifically . 20-40% of young boys affected by DMD are found to lose their ability to walk by fractures in the lower body. . [1] Individuals with MD generally find many tasks challenging, including simple daily activities like walking and working, however without exercise, patients may progress to physical deconditioning which may further their challenge for everyday activities. [5] [1]
Exercise Prescription: Aerobic vs. Resistance Exercise[edit]
Although many muscular dystrophy patients are fearful of exercising with their condition, there is evidence that exercising with muscular dystrophy can have some positive benefit. [6] [3] [5] Benefits include, increasing muscle and cardiorespiratory function as well as slowing atrophy, which all affects daily activities and overall quality of life [6] With aerobic exercises being encouraged, there has been evidence that shows that resistance training my also being beneficial and harmless. [5]
|Exercise Type
|2-3 days/week [5]
|No more than 60 minutes[5]
|1 set of 8-10 exercises, 8-12 repetitions. 45-50% 1RM (rep max) Frail: 10-15 repeitions with lower resistance [5]
|Specific to severity [5]
|3-5 days/week[5]
|20-60 minutes continuously or 10 minute stints [5]
|55-90% maximal heart rate [5]
|Larger muscle group activities, rhythmic [5]
Aerobic exercise is shown to to have a positive effect towards muscle strength and fatigue [3] [6]. Endurance was also shown improve with dynamic exercise.[5] Resistance programs should be greatly specific to the individual, which needs to take into account the type of muscular dystrophy and the severity of their disease. [6]Individuals should avoid heavy resistance and eccentric training to ensure muscles do not undergo intense mechanical stress.[3] Exercises should be altered between upper and lower body exercise for ideal benefits. In both aerobic and resistance exercise, programs should be done with caution using supervision and aids to ensure safety. [6] [5]
Exercise can also be under taken for patients that are already wheelchair dependent, which can give benefits to the wellbeing of the individual. These exercises may include passive exercises that are assisted from either supervisors or machines.[6] Training intensity differs for individuals in wheelchairs and should be based on rate of perceived exertion.[6]
MD unfortunately cannot be stopped, only slowed, therefore it is vital to this disease to aim towards maintaining independence and delaying the loss of functional capacities. [2] [6]Saying this MD patients that do not undertaken exercise may find themselves with other complications such as chronic deconditioning and cardiovascular health risks. [1] [6] An early decrease in physical activity can greatly enhance this deconditioning and loss of muscle function leading to faster onset of wheelchair dependency, therefore exercise should be readily initiated at the onset of MD when trainable muscle tissues are still present. [3]

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with not ending the drywall. I am used to hanging drywall such that the but joint ends on the ceiling joist --similar to the but joint of the wall ending on the stud. However, recently I have found several sources demonstrating ending the joint off of the joist. The two sheets are then secured using a piece of plywood and two 1/8" shims to create a tapered joint. Your thoughts?
I have the ones from trimtex called butt boards and they are fantastic.
It's a tried and true method----Willie T promotes the use----I say--try it and let us know how you like that method--
Why in the picture are they showing shims on the ends of the piece of plywood not just a simple piece of plywood laying flat on the boards?
Seems like that would be a sure way to not have the sheets line up at the joint, and allow the sheets to flex.
Cutting the first sheet so it lines up with a joist, or starting from the other direction will often times keep the sheets lined up with the joist instead of having to use the blocking.
i am using it, and i think it is fantastic ! i made my own butt boards = 1/2" osb, about 12" wide and 4' long. i found some thick paper (free is always good. it was at walmart, in between layers of paper towels on the pallet). i then cut 2" strips and calked it to the wide sides of the boards, let dry. this comes out to less that 1/8" , i would not go larger that this, as it will cause drywall problems . i installed all of the ceiling drywall first. i then layed the boards out in a the attic. from below, i drilled a hole for the first screw and put screw in.. after that no other drilling is needed. i put screws every 3-4".
Got ya.
look at the pic in the first link. at first i used shims about that thick. when i put the screws in, they pulled through the drywall and cracked it up quit a bit, it was a mess. not only that, a valley that deep would use a lot of mud to fill.
Why would you do this other than to have no waste. The plyboard shim system has no integrity. The seem could crack easily and if your ceiling joints crack with a textured surface...you then have a mess to deal with.
Tride and true is conventionalism....there's a reason we hang to joist and not play chance to a system that has flaws....I dont like this :(
I guarantee my work with 23 years of experience. I will never use this system.
If it is getting inspected, it may not meet minimum safety code: http://publicecodes.cyberregs.com/ic...002_par010.htm "shall occur on the framing members"
The drywall board manufacturers mention wood framing members OR other "solid backing", you could use them but may need to support them securely to the framing to pass minimum code. (Not just to each other and floating board).pp.3,4; 4.1-4.8, pp.8, 5.2, 5.4 and on furring; 8.2; http://publicecodes.cyberregs.com/ic...002_par010.htm
So far as I know, butt boards haven't been approved (in case of fire) -which is why we use drywall, check with local AHJ.
Butt boards give a recess for the mud to go in, you don't have to deal with crooked, uneven, wane, angled, or twisted studs/rafters/etc.
1/8" thick on the sides is a little much, causes screws to rip the paper. A heavy 1/16 is nice.
GBR these are considered wood backing, I guess, as they are approved and they have nothing to do with fire you still use drywall these go behind it and is taped and mudded the same as any other joint.
Personally I think this thread is spam.
Trolls looking to generate traffic to their websites to pitch a sale.
I came to this site 16 months ago because I was putting an addition onto my home and needed some advice on sure-ing up a load baring wall. I see post like this with questionable content and I get prompted to go to another web address? I got everything I need as far as knowledge of my profession and being a professional I offer up solutions willing. Here..not somewhere else.
I'd advocate a reliable source of info between diy-ers and professionals on this site and put questionable content to the front pages for the professionals to offer up their opinions. At this point it is obvious this system is questionable.

There's a bit of a buzz in the film world about a controversial new documentary, Are all Men Pedophiles?, suggesting that we could be more accepting of adult men lusting after teenage women.
Can of worms– open. All over the floor.
The self-financed 23 year old Dutch director, Jan Willem Breure, boldly admitted that he was inspired to make the film by his own attraction to teenagers and how he'd come to realize that he was attracted to girls as young as 15. He consults various experts who testify that sex between adults and teenagers has been accepted in various cultures since the beginning of mankind. They're even so good as to remind us that in religion, the Islamic Prophet Mohammed's wife was allegedly six years old when she married (nine when the marriage was consumated) and the Holy Mary was supposed to be between 12 and 15 when she gave birth to Jesus. Pedophilia in the Catholic Church just became a little bit clearer.
Breure aims to differentiate between the commonly used term in the media– pedophilia (attraction to children under 13) and the more accurate term for an attraction to teens (12-16 years old)– hebophilia.
Breure's focus on this differentiation, whether you agree with it or not, shines an interesting light on the modeling industry, which regularly scouts models as young as 11 years old, sexualizing children in the process. So why is the fashion industry not more often accused of pedophilia?
One of the film's advertising posters features an attractive female, with full make-up, much like what we see in everyday media advertising. She is 14 years old. For the average guy," Breure says, "she is attractive. But the next question is, if you find her attractive, is that or is that not pedophilia?"
How much can we really be branding men as pedophiles when our society has essentially accepted the sexualization of children in today's media on a daily basis?
Are All Men Pedophiles? explores all sides of the topic from graphic descriptions of child sexual abuse to various testimonies suggesting sex between teenagers and adults should be more widely accepted. It's an extremely difficult subject to tackle but no less important and highly relevant to everyone in society.
Also, Breure says his next film is about incest. This guy is really pushing it.
Watch the trailer for Are All Men Pedophiles?
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCJBwkcStjc&feature=player_embedded]
Via Shift
Are All Men Pedophiles? is currently making the rounds at festivals in Europe.
But if I've raised your curiosity and you want something interesting to watch now, I would recommend Girl Model, a documentary film about model scouting in Eastern Europe and models as young as 12 years old working unchaperoned in Toyko. It's available to rent or buy on iTunes now. I watched it last night, it's uncomfortable viewing but extremely eye-opening.

Jodie Sweetin Welcomes Baby Daughter!
Posted Wednesday September 1, 2010 11:21 AM GMT
Welcoming her second child into this world, Jodie Sweetin has given birth to a baby girl!
On Tuesday (August 31), the "Full House" actress and her boyfriend, Morty Coyle, welcomed a 7lb, 4 oz daughter, who they named Beatrix.
"Jodie was amazing and is doing great," Coyle told People Magazine.
"We're already madly in love with Beatrix and are so grateful for the support from our family and friends. And we can't wait for her big sister Zoie to meet her," the couple said in a statement.
Sweetin also has 2-year-old daughter, Zoie, with ex-husband Cody Herpin.

A/C, Fan , Gas Furance not turning on. Help Plz
My AC, Fan, and Furance won't turn on.
Things I have replaced are
Control Board with exact same model
Safety switch for door
Transformer for unit
Things I have checked
I have 120v into transformer and 24v coming out
No lights on control board
I tried jumping wires at thermostat R to G, R to Y, R to W nothing happens
3 amp fuse on control board isn't blown
Breaker on the outside is not tripped(I turned off and on to reset)
Please help I don't know where to go from here
You most likely burnt up the board, with your checks.
It's a new board and how would I burnt it without any smells or smoke . wouldn't the 3 amp fuse go out first?
Usually the first things you are going to check for, is it the thermostat. If the thermostat does not turn the unit on or off, then replace with another and see what happens. Check for power at the furnace & a/c or heatpump. If there is power, and the thermostat is still not turning on the furnace, then yes check the kill switch, to see if that is faulty.
Jumping across the terminals like you did, you most likely fried a chip, diode, resistor on the board in the furnace.
Lets go to the beginning. What led you to having to check why it was not starting in the first place. Was the board in the furnace showing any error codes on the LED? What manufacturer & model of furnace, along with same for thermostat.
No led was lighting on the control board. I just replaced it because I got a good deal on one.
its a GMP100-3 Rev A
Control board is Goodman B18099-13 1012-933A
I have power to transformer 120v and 24v coming out. I have 24v at the board as well.
Thermostat is Carrier TSTATCCPQ501
where exactly did U get the board. Brand new in a sealed pkg from Goodman or e-bay. Lots of those boards can be used etc. That board if not grounded properly will blow. The bracket it mounts to on the fan comes loose and it loses grd and blows. Have to tighten the bracket and put extra screws in it to the fan housing to keep it tight.
If there was no LED or power indicator on the board, then there is other issues at hand, why there is no power getting from the transformer, to the board. See this thread from 2006 http://www.diychatroom.com/f17/goodm...-furnace-1643/ See this thread from 2011 http://www.diychatroom.com/f17/goodm...orking-124936/
I got it used off ebay, I still have the original board too. I had heard that as well and checked to make sure it is not loose and it wasn't, screws are making good contact.
If it is a blown board how can I verify this?
You cannot. Get a new OEM board. Then add some extra screws to that bracket where it mounts to the fan. I also will run a green ground wire from that bracket to the ground line of the 120 volts supply to make 100% sure it is grounded.
So your saying if the ground is proper and the power is gong to it the red light should just stay on? instead of it being off?
A used board from Ebay, is often a board that was abused when as it was ripped out of the old furnace it came from.
Before you go investing a lot of money in replacing boards in your that GMP. Pull the blower out, crawl into the blower compartment. Either use a mirror, or stick your head up in the opening to the heat exchanger. And look for loose crimp rings laying on the base. That model is Known for popping them. if you find any, or see any are missing, then the heat exchanger is shot. Replace furnace.
never never did I say never ....purchase used control boards for any type of furnace off e-bay..always buy them new...ben sr
hey rock if you do purchase a new board ...read precautions in "electrostatic discharge section of instructions...ben sr

I am going to test it as soon as my tablet arrives. The first thing I do when I get my tablet will be to take it apart. I'm not expecting any improvement in GPS performance but I'll try out a better antenna. I will probably use a bluetooth GPS primarily.
anyone want to test thaT? i dont like to disassemble my table in the first 30 days of ownership.I think it will make a difference. When holding the table with the backside towards the sky my signal gets ~3-5 points better compared to having it display up.Putting a better antenna in would make a difference.

They don't have to. BT GPS mice are a thing of the past, proper android phones have amazing GPS capabilities. Nexus One, for example, usually gets a fix after 1-2 seconds at most. Of course it knows my coarse location in advance, but it's still amazing - I've never seen such performance from any non-android device. Can you blame Google for not taking into an account some Chinese engineers who have no idea what they are doing?
But the lack of a Bluetooth profile for GPS really makes me think the people at Google didn't put a whole lot of time into it.

Remember the antannea parameters are probably worked out on paper at the factory at the design stage so distorting the antennae pattern wold probably show weird results,once you sever the co-ax you might find a different or non-existant result.
The pc kicks out frames on a micro-second foreward basis and seems to send out a probe which is reset by pressing the "enter" key repeatedly,it is pretty difficult trying to visualise this process without specialist laboratory equipment also it is a non reversablee procedure so you cant realy see where the problem is because you cant halt it,and different tries will result in different results.

trivial improvements in the early years?
I've searched a lot on this and promise to put together a list of all I learned.
I was wondering what the minor changes to creature comforts and such were over the years, particularly the early years up to about 2006? I've heard things like the cupholders got shallower, and of course a major thing like stronger gears, but what else? If you werent particular on the front look of the car, what details would make you prefer one year over the other (such as heated seats, better seats, better radio or less wind noise or...)
[url=http://www.cars101.com]Subaru Research Site- specs, prices, options, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009.. Outback, Legacy, Forester, WRX, STI, Impreza, Tribeca, BRZ, XV Crosstrek[/url]
^ All the details you're looking for should be listed in that link.
I personally like the Limited package offered for the WRX in 2006 and 2007: leather interior, heated front seats, heated side mirrors, heated windshield wiper area, fog lights, side skirts, and sun roof.
2002-03 had the most comfortable seats.
[quote=psinuse;287931]2002-03 had the most comfortable seats.[/quote]
If your ass is larger than recommended by the US government...
No, they do have the best seats. The latter seats are similar to sitting on cardboard. I say this as someone with a WRX w/ STI cardboard seats and another WRX with stock bugeye seats. The STI seats have a wider seat cushion.

Buffalo Bills running back Fred Jackson has began rehabilitating his injured knee last week. With him on the sidelines, RB C.J. Spiller has played exceedingly well. Jackson was expected to be the team's leading rusher and RB1 this season yet that likely won't be the case upon his return. Jackson sprained his LCL in Week 1 and could be out for another three to four weeks.
Fantasy Analysis:
Spiller already has 292 rushing yards and three scores along with five receptions for 72 yards. The Bills can't sit that kind of production and whenever Jackson returns, he'll have to take a backseat to the dynamic third-year back out of Clemson. Jackson missed the final six weeks of the 2011 season and is already injured again. He's 31 years old and in very limited action in Week 1, he had only 15 rushing yards on six carries. Upon his return, Jackson's role will need to be redefined to compliment Spiller.

Rockford's Lady Rams' spectacular season came to an end last Tuesday night only two minutes from a trip to the Breslin Center and a possible state championship game. The East Lansing Trojans arrived in Caledonia for this state quarterfinal match-up rated number one in Class A and sporting their star player Klarissa Bell. Bell had been just awarded Michigan's "Miss Basketball" title for the top player in the state.
East Lansing escaped with a 56-51 win in a thrilling game filled with great plays and excitement throughout. Led by Bell and three Division I college signees in their starting lineup, and holding a 25-1 record, the Trojans must have taken a deep breath as they departed for the ride back home. The Rams gave East Lansing more than they wanted, and then some. Averaging 65 points per game while allowing only 40, East Lansing was stretched to the limit.
Rockford scored first, as both teams came out tentative in the first quarter. East Lansing immediately applied full court pressure and continued a tenacious ball-hawking defense throughout the game. After the first eight minutes of play, East Lansing had jumped out to an early 12-7 lead.
The second quarter belonged to Rockford, as the Rams outplayed the Trojans on both ends of the court, fighting back into the game with the score all square at 26-26 at the half.
The third quarter also belonged to the Rams, as they outscored East Lansing and led 45-37 with less than one minute in the third. The Rams offense opened up during the third quarter, scoring 19 points and holding the Trojans to 15.
The fourth quarter began with Rockford leading 45-41—senior Megan Kelley hit 10 of her game high 16 points in the second half. With 6:25 in the fourth, the score was tied 47-47. East Lansing then made their living at the foul line, 12 for 19 in second half, while Rockford was 3 for 5. The disparity in fouls was the deciding factor at game's end: East Lansing 25/41, Rockford 10/16.
With under 2:00 left in the contest, Rockford sophomore Halle Peterson made two free throws to put Rockford on top 51-50, as the crowd rocked with the anticipation of an upset of the number-one Trojans. East Lansing's Bell then took the ball coast to coast for two, and the Trojans were back up by one. After a great offensive set-and-shot attempt came up short for the Rams, Rockford was forced to foul, attempting to gain ball possession while behind by one. The last minute of play featured Trojan players striding to the foul line with the final score 56-51 East Lansing.
East Lansing has since gone on to win the state championship on Saturday, March 20.
The Ram balanced scoring attack was led by Kelley with 16, senior Caitlyn Patterson 10, senior Allison Huyser 8, senior Kate Huyser 6, Peterson 6, and sophomore Kimberly Weston 5.
Coach Jessica Yonkers, her staff, and the Lady Rams should be congratulated for a memorable season; 2009-2010 OK Red champions, 2010 district champions and 2010 regional champions with an overall 23-4 record. The Lady Rams displayed strong character, team unity, and strong senior leadership all season. Outstanding careers were had by 2010 Lady Ram graduating seniors A. Huyser, Karliane Showers, Kelley, Hannah Rocheleau, Andi Raymond, K. Huyser, and Patterson.

Quality visit
June 23, 2017
My second time at this property. Enjoyed the stay.
Would stay again
June 22, 2017
We didn't stay in the room or at the hotel much. It met our need for a place to stay after spending our days exploring downtown Chicago without paying the downtown Chicago hotel prices. Beds were comfortable enough but not fantastic but the pillows left a little to be desired. We were glad we brought our own. Quick easy access to the train to get downtown. One thing that would have made the stay better is having breakfast info in the room. The hours we were told at check in apparently didn't apply on the weekend so when we left the hotel by 7:30/8 am Saturday to catch the train, breakfast wasn't available yet.
Comfortable, clean rooms - Good breakfast
June 22, 2017
We have stayed at this Staybridge several times while visiting Northwestern. The rooms are always clean and comfortable. The staff is always polite and on two occasions we have had incorrect room types given to us, but this was solved quickly and satisfactorily. Good to have the breakfast - would like it open earlier on Saturday mornings. Food is always good and the staff in the breakfast area are attentive and polite. We will return.
Highly recommend

We stayed at the Glenview Staybridge for 2 nights. Loved the area: quiet, safe, and charming. Our room was clean, quiet, with plenty of room for the 4 of us.
.We will be staying here again.

The Bikecast Episode #5a: State Destruction of Social Organization
My latest ramble, starting on, 4/20 spilled over into two other bikecasts. In the first, I'm attempting to stake out a pattern I've been noticing alot lately: reliance on the state is back-firing in numerous ways.
Show notes Episode 5a:
Here are the stories behind my brief "today's headlines" segment:
More raping catholics. This guy is a real gem: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=126116570
More thieving liars from the financial sector (I'm not actually sure this is the story that inspired the comment, but close enough): http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=126126307
In Texas, California, and probably 48 other states, money is tight. Everywhere, programs are being defunded and are in danger of vanishing altogether. The people that depend on these services are/will be left in truly dire straights. Yet constant pressure exists for the various levels of government to move additional services out of the community and into the public sector.
When such a move happens, the organic institutions involved with the service vanish and dependence on the state becomes, over time, complete. When the state becomes incapable of continuing the delivery of the service, as we will see increasingly as the economy continues its collapse, the remnant institutions of civil, voluntary society will be hard pressed to resume their previous roles.
Organic societal structures, due to their voluntary nature and respect for the wishes of the people involved, take time and trust to develop and thrive. This gives them tremendous strength and resilience. When they atrophy or are actively dismantled, it takes time for them to develop again.
Parallel to this concern is the nature of state prohibition/permission. Here, the issue is the drain of time and resources involved in moving a political agenda in a given direction. "Winning" a political battle means that the resources of the advocate group will be entirely expended protecting against political reversal. Even then, the decision can always be overturned, returning the advocates to their previous state without the advantages of the voluntary structures that had aided them.
As an example, I talk about a fictionalized* version of the temperance movement. The social issue they sought to impact was alcoholism and the attending blights of spousal and child abuse and abandonment. For many decades, this various components considered part of this movement preached sobriety, made sobriety a pre-condition for mutual aid membership, lobbied schools to include alcohol awareness in the curriculum, and even physically protested the activities of bars by "entering saloons, singing, praying, and urging saloon keepers to stop selling alcohol."
At some point, various groups began to depart from civil means of dissuading people from drinking and switched instead to the force of law. This activity culminated in the 18th amendment. We know now, of course, that all the millions of hours of lobbying, rallying, begging and pleading for this amendment was undone less than 15 years later.
Imagine if all those resources had been directed at getting to the root of alcoholism, alleviating the conditions that give rise to it and spreading the practice of rewarding sobriety in friendly societies, mutual aid organizations, trade unions other voluntary, community accountable organizations.
Of course, during the 100 years leading to prohibition, people had a very primitive understanding of the mind and the components of and influences upon human nature. It was a far easier task to rally support for the violent smashing of people and businesses trading in booze than it was to seek to understand the behavioral and societal factors involved in creating an alcoholic. Current efforts by whole hosts of advocates for or against this and that demonstrate that people's understanding remains primitive. Although the science is there and well established to recommend a non-violent course, it remains simplest to advocate force as a means of solving social problems.
Besides the opportunity costs, there are also the side effects of using violence. The most obvious of these is the spawning of more violence in the form of modern crime syndicates. In addition, the victims of the outlawed substance are treated as less than human and become frequent victims of state violence. Federal enforcement techniques such as additon of poison to commercial ethanol killed around 10,000 people by prohibition's end.
*I realize my example has more than a few holes in it. For example: it's not like there aren't people running around preaching sobriety, maybe more now than ever–I'm not a meticulous fact checker, it ain't that kind of bikecast. My point is that the resources interested in controlling the public ills related to alcoholism were strong enough to manage a constitutional amendment–I can't even imagine what topic would garner that kind of support now. It could have been turned to a million different compassionate, human respecting means of providing help and care for alcoholics and their victims.

Now what?
I have a stock '93 YJ, 2.5L with manual tranny 200,000+ km. I like jeeps, just not mine. It is very tired, gutless and definately problematic.
right now when i turn left and my suspension travels i hear a bad "kriik" "clunk" coming from my passenger side mid-rear. not good
i've checked for any loose connections and and can't find anything broken, but i can only check when the vehicle is stopped and it doesn't make the nasty noise any more. I'm thinking its the leaf springs, they look to be original.
since i'm gonna change the leafs i might as well do a SOA
i'm looking to run 37" or 38.5" tires. i'm not using a sawzall!!
i have heavy duty leaf shackles (6 1/4" from centre of hole to centre of hole, stock are 4") what leafs should i go with?
i know, i know, stock axles bust with tires this big (picked up a d44 front diff off a '74 waggy today) looking for rear d44 now.
for the power problem i have a v8 (rebuilt cheby 305 w/performer plus cam /performer intake manifold) and TH350 tranny. what carb should i look for?

38's run hard with d44's = carnage. go bigger. my .02

Zeus of the Sluice
you are going from stock to 38.5's?
learn how to drive...
put a locker in the d30 when you go SOA, swap out the rear for a D44, 8.8, 9" or something and run 35's
an AAL might give your current spring pack a little boost when you go SOA and help strengthen the pack's.
get the engine squared away and get your power back with a RUNNING vehicle before you go anywhere near the axles...
general rule for axle strength / tire size with 300+hP engines:
D35 - good for 30's
D30 - good for 33's, maybe 35's
Toy 8"/D44(Front) - good for 35's maybe 37's
D44(Rear) - good for 35's, not 37's
Toy 8(Rear) - good for 37's
Ford 9(rear) - good for 37's, maybe bigger with better aftermarket stuff...
D60's - up to 40's
anything bigger, you are into 2.5 ton axle territory...
Just my opinions

Dude, you've got a killer power set up. A set of axles and 35's and that thing will go places you couldn't imagine.
If you're set on going up to 38.5's definetly start looking at full width and probably stretching the wheelbase. I know guys that have run 37's and said they were too squirly and tippy with stock wheelbase.
Personally, I'd recommend a well gusseted 9" w/ goodies, a D44 front w/ goodies, SOA with AAL's or RE 1.5" springs and see what you think after that.
You said no sawzall so I'm assuming you want to keep the Jeep nice so my recommendation are to keep the thing stable and streetable. My opinion, a stock width/wheelbase SWB Jeep on 38.5's is neither streetable nor stable at those speeds.
As for your noise, check out the rear track bar. Those things are prone to problems and you won't really notice anything in normal highway driving, but when you make tighter turns is when they do their job. My brother had his rip off of the frame on the highway swerving to miss someone that cut him off. The combination of swerving and highspeed bumps in the road caused a hole to be ripped in the frame where the mount had been welded on.

when i first bought this jeep a couple months ago, i figured it would be good to go right off the lot. it sortof is, but i'm nowhere near where i want to take it.
this is what i'm building:
-SOA D44 front and ? rear w/ locker
-4.56 gears
-2.5" procomp YJ leafs

i live in edmonton, alberta, canada. i have absolutely no idea how much compression is in the 2.5. i rarely need to add any oil, one liter every 1500 kms, however; there is a tiny puff of blue sometimes when the engine starts which makes sense as the mileage is fairly high on this rig (204,000 kms)
i am gonna let the 2.5 and the 5 spd tranny go for cheap. a few hundred bucks for both (canadian) if i can get it.
the tranny is hard shifting from 2nd to 3rd (gotta get the revs right)
i am so glad i'm swapping these out.
in other news i found a killer deal on a TPI FUEL INJECTION 305/350 sbc 1985/86 includes manifold, fuel rail, fuel injectors, throttle body, plenum has been ported and powder coated, ECM and distributor core.
is this hard to set up? what else am i gonna need to get the 305 running with this injection system?

The Duck Song (edition 2010)
by Bryant Oden, Forrest Whaley (Illustrator), Benjamin Flinders (Editor)
Work details
The Duck Song by Bryant Oden
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A duck comes upon a lemonade stand and asks if he has any grapes - day after day - the same thing - The man always tells him no - even threatens to glue him to a tree. Until one day the man laughs and takes the duck to a store to buy him grapes - only to have the duck tell him he doesn't want them and that lemonade sounds good.
It is very cute the way it rhymes and the illustrations are very colorful and bright. A CD comes with the book and the first song on it is The Duck Song (includes 11 other songs)- which tells the same story in a sing-song voice. Very cute. You can also press a button on the cover and listen to the song.
Okay, you know how children are attracted to repetitive and silly songs? Yes, I'm sure if you work with children or have children you know what I mean. Even as adults we can't escape these songs, because they get stuck in your head for days! The Duck Song by Bryant Oden does just that, and that's why I love it!
The illustrations in this book are so cute, they look like they are drawn by kids. Forrest Whaley was only 14 when he animated the video. I thought that was amazing! I especially love the different emotions that pass over the owner's face as he gets increasingly annoyed with the duck. Adorable! Emerging readers will be smitten with the illustrations, and will be able to pick up on the story quickly because of the repetition.
Ready for the best part? It comes with a CD! Yes my friends, this is a song. Your children can learn the song and then sing along with the pages in the book. What is even better is that the CD holds 11 other silly songs for kids, all of which are hilariously sweet! If you have children, work with children, or are just a big kid at heart, you need a copy of this book.

Hi all,
I've recently setup a live USB running BT5 with persistence (using UNetbootin) which is working great, I'm able to install any packages I require with sudo apt-get which uses the 512MB persistence space.
The problem however, is when I try to install my AMD ATI graphics drivers it tells me there is 0 bytes free, yet I still have ~300mb. I'm assuming that it's trying to install this to the 1.9GB partition where BT5 is installed as opposed to using the persistence space.
I tried running a live DVD and was able to install the ATI drivers without any issues, but this is no good as changes are lost when I reboot.
The reason I want to install the ATI drivers is because ATI Stream/APP requires the driver and I would like to play around with that.
Any advice on how I can get it to install the graphics driver using the persistence space available?
