"This decision was based solely on the fact that this is my last year to play and my parents and I felt like it was the right move to make," Thomas said in a statement.
Thomas' move was also made easier based on the fact that Georgia was set to return it's top five rushers from a year ago. Freshmen Keith Marshall and Todd Gurley will also join the backfield.
"Carlton came to me recently to discuss his thoughts," coach Mark Richt said. "I understand his decision and appreciate all the contributions he's made to our program."
A native of Frostproof, Fla., Thomas played in 27 career games, including two starts. He rushed for 725 yards and four touchdowns on 159 career carries.
"I connected with the University of Georgia during my time in Athens on a personal level and will never forget the relationships I developed and the life lessons I learned," Thomas said. "I know I will take everything I learned over the last several years and try to spread the knowledge wherever life takes me in the future."

them now
They are starting to giggle with each other.
There is inhale, a momentary lapse, when I try to remember the last time I saw them like that.
When life hadn't got in the way and it was just them.
Wait. What is this? Are you two smiling at each other? Do you have a secret?
They do, between them.
a nod, a glance
a sparkle
hand touch arm
a where were you, I was there, we were us
pressure lifted.
Then an exhale.
There is this.
Today I am grateful they exist.

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy HCM in cats
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common type of heart disease in cats. HCM (literally, "enlarged heart muscle disease") is an inherited disorder in which the muscular walls of the heart become abnormally thickened. HCM typically affects cats in the young adult years, between 1–5 years of age, although cases can emerge as early as 3 months or as late as 10 years. HCM has a strong familial link, with increased prevalence occurring in certain breeds (Maine Coon Cats, Ragdolls, British Shorthairs, American Shorthairs, and Devon Rexes). Domestic shorthairs are affected too, with prevalence slightly higher in males than in females.
Progression of HCM
Over time, HCM causes the heart muscle to thicken and become infiltrated by fibrous scar tissue. This alters the structure and function of the heart in several ways. Changes in the heart muscle make the right and left ventricles less stretchy and compliant. This means less blood fills the heart between contractions. Less filling means a weaker pump. Blood begins to back up "upstream" into the right and left atrium, causing them to stretch abnormally. Changes in the heart shape make heart valves leaky (causing audible heart murmurs, if present) and further decrease the heart's pumping power.
Many if not most cats with HCM live their lives with clinically silent disease. Cats are notoriously good at taking it easy on themselves, and they hide it when they don't feel well. A stressful event (non-cardiac illness, anesthesia) or even a mild exertion (jumping to the windowsill) can be enough to tip the scale in the unlucky cases where more advanced disease is present. When complications arise, they are often sudden and severe, and can be fatal. These can include:
- Congestive Heart Failure: When the heart's pumping action fails, blood backs up first into the left and right atrium and later into the pulmonary circulation. This leads to pulmonary edema (fluid buildup in the lungs), shortness of breath, and congestive heart failure.
- Arrhythmias (irregular or fast heartbeats): Arrhythmias can develop in the diseased heart muscle. This is because the stretching and scarring of HCM disrupts normal electrical signaling in the heart. Arrhythmias can cause no symptoms, can contribute to pump weakness and congestive heart failure, or worse. Malignant arrhythmia from undetected HCM is a common cause of sudden death in cats.
- Thromboembolism (blockage caused by a migrating clot): The stretched-out left atrium is a place where blood flow stagnates and blood clots can form. Clot fragments that break loose can enter the general circulation and get stuck downstream, causing thromboembolism. Thromboembolism of the aorta is another all-too-common manifestation of HCM in cats, and presents as sudden, painful paralysis of the hind legs.
The symptoms of HCM are typically mild to absent, at least at the outset. Your veterinarian may identify a heart murmur or other abnormal heart sounds on physical examination. The presence of a murmur is an unreliable indicator of whether HCM is present or how severe it is. Not all cats with HCM have an audible heart murmur. Conversely, not all murmurs indicate that HCM is present.
Early signs of HCM can include:
- Decreased appetite
- Reduced energy level
- No symptoms at all
Your vet might notice:
- Heart murmur
- Gallop rhythm (extra heart sound)
- Elevated heart rate
- Weight loss
Advanced signs include:
- Rapid or labored breathing
- Panting or open-mouthed breathing
- Cough (unusual)
- Sudden hind leg paralysis
- Sudden death
Unlike in the dog, coughing usually is not a sign of heart disease in cats. It is more often associated with chronic bronchitis (asthma) or other lung diseases.
To diagnose HCM, other diseases affecting the heart muscle must be excluded. These include hyperthyoidism (overactive thyroid), hypertension (high blood pressure) and anemia. Your veterinarian will perform bloodwork and a blood pressure measurement to rule out these problems and treat them as necessary.
An echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) is the best means of diagnosing HCM. It provides a highly detailed real-time view of the heart's structure and function. An echocardiogram is gentle and non-invasive; however it usually requires referral to a veterinary specialist, and can be costly. Added diagnostics such as an ECG, Xrays, or blood pressure may be done by your regular veterinarian, but they are more for supporting information, not to make the diagnosis.
Two breeds, the Maine Coon and Ragdoll, have been found to carry a genetic defect (called Myosin-binding Protein B) that is associated with HCM. A genetic test is now available for screening for this defective gene in these two breeds alone. Another blood test, called NT-ProBNP has recently been purported to aid in the early diagnosis of heart disease in dogs and cats. While useful in monitoring cats diagnosed with severe HCM, most experts believe it to be an unreliable screening test for early to moderate disease.
There is no cure for HCM. Once the changes occur in the heart muscle, they cannot be reversed. Early treatment is aimed at helping the overly stiff ventricular wall muscles relax properly between heart beats, and/or to slow the heart beat to allow for better filling between contractions and for better blood flow to the heart muscle itself. Your veterinarian may prescribe one of a handful or oral medications, such as diltiazem (a calcium channel blocker) or atenolol (a beta blocker). These are commonly used, and can work well, although they are not officially licensed for cats.
Once congestive heart failure sets in, drugs are added to help with edema (fluid buildup) in the lungs and the rest of the body. These include many of the same drugs used in people and dogs with heart failure such as diuretics and ACE inhibitors. A low-salt diet is beneficial as well.
Because clot formation is a worry when there is stagnant blood flow in the left atrium, cats with advanced HCM may need medications that inhibit blood clots. Low-dose aspirin is one basic choice, however newer clot-inhibiting drugs (such as Plavix®) are starting to be used in cats. Exercise restriction may be recommended as well. Never give your cat aspirin or any other medication unless under strict instructions from your veterinarian.
The outlook for cats diagnosed with HCM varies dramatically. In some cases, HCM worsens quickly once diagnosed; in other cases, cats with mild disease may live symptom-free for years. The prognosis is directly related to the severity of the disease and its complications, if present. Once symptoms of congestive heart failure set in, the life expectancy is 18 months or less. Survival rates for cats with thromboembolic disease secondary to HCM are poor. Cats have a less-than-40% chance of surviving a first thromboembolic event, and if they do survive, reoccurrence is likely to happen within weeks to months.
Since HCM is a genetic disease, the best way to prevent it is through screening and selective breeding programs. As mentioned previously, a new genetic screening test exists for Maine Coon Cats and Ragdolls. Your veterinarian or a veterinary geneticist are the best resources for more information. Once a cat is diagnosed with HCM, then it's wise to have any known siblings tested too. While it's too late to prevent HCM in these individuals, early diagnosis is the key to keeping a cat's heart healthy.

The effectiveness of silicone masterbatches as process aids or property
modifiers for thermoplastics depends on several factors, including:
The level of masterbatch loading required will depend on these variables and
on whether it is being used as a process aid or as a final property
How to Use Siloxane Masterbatches:
Method of IncorporationEffects of Other MaterialsMasterbatches As Processing AidsFilled vs. Unfilled CompoundsConducting A TrialStart With Temperature
Method of Incorporation
The way in which the masterbatch is incorporated into the polymer in
injection molding applications will depend on the mixing efficiency of the
molding machine screw. When the mixing efficiency is good, the siloxane
masterbatch may be mixed with all of the other components by batch, tumble or
dry blending, and added via the main hopper. It can also be added from a
subsidiary feeder, if necessary, with one or more other masterbatches.
If the mixing efficiency is poor then pre-compounding will be necessary. In
this case, the masterbatch can be conveniently added with other solid
Since the mixing efficiency of feeding extruders used in film and profile
manufacture is usually much better than that of injection molding screws,
pre-compounding may not be necessary. As in the case of some base polymers,
however, it is advisable to dry the masterbatch before use. This is recommended
for MB50-010/010A and MB40/50-011.
Effects of Other Materials
The melting points and melt flow indices (MFI) of the base polymer and
masterbatch carrier are also important. In general, masterbatches disperse
better in base polymers of equal or lower MFI. If the base polymer has a higher
MFI than the masterbatch carrier, it will probably be necessary to pre-compound
to avoid splash marks from poorly dispersed masterbatch pellets.
Allied to this is the use of masterbatches in dissimilar base polymers or
compounds. In this case, the melting point of the masterbatch should be lower
than that of the base polymer to avoid imperfect melting with consequent poor
Masterbatches As Processing
When using siloxane masterbatches as processing aids in the injection
molding of unfilled polymers, the best results are obtained in molds with
difficult flow paths such as, for example, thin sections, convoluted flow paths
or lots of reinforcing ribs or struts.
Siloxane masterbatches should not be used with long, deep, parallel moldings
because they are non-migrating and may not provide release as effectively as
other methods such as sprays. However this problem can sometimes be overcome by
the use of higher loadings of masterbatch to 1%, for example, versus the more
normal 0.4%.
Extrusion of unfilled polymers requires similar loadings of siloxane to
reduce film-to-metal friction during processing.
Filled vs. Unfilled Compounds
When using siloxane masterbatches to improve the processing of filled
compounds, the siloxane loading will depend on the filler type and loading.
Typically, 1-3% siloxane is required.
In this case the polymer MFI is secondary to the melt rheology of the
compound, so the processing of long glass fiber reinforced compounds based on
polymers of MFI 35 and above, for example, can be improved. The siloxane
masterbatches can also be used at higher loadings of 2-5% for the modification
of surface properties such as scratch resistance, friction, wear and abrasion
resistance or appearance. Again, the results obtained will depend on the
character of the base polymer, and on the bearing surface in tests and use.
In friction tests, the results will also depend on the shear conditions in
use. The siloxane used as the basis of the masterbatches is of ultra high
viscosity and requires higher levels of spreading energy than, for example,
silicone fluids. Thus the static coefficient of friction of a system containing
a silicone masterbatch may be comparatively poor, but the dynamic coefficient
will improve with increasing shear, whereas that of a silicone fluid based
system will degrade.
Scratch resistance of filled compounds is becoming an important
consideration, especially for automotive moldings such as trim, where demolding
is an important secondary feature.
Conducting A Trial
Before conducting a trial, specific objectives should be established with
the customer. Attempting to accomplish too much with any one trial should be
avoided. When used as a process aid in polyolefin injection molding, the
masterbatches have been seen to affect specific segments of the molding cycle
and not others.
Plasticizing, for example, may require less energy but the time required may
not be affected at all. Mold filling time, cooling time, melt temperature and
operating pressure will all be reduced to varying degrees depending on
materials, equipment and conditions.
First of all, set a baseline by operating at standard conditions. Introduce
the siloxane material by draining the main or secondary hoppers (depending on
the mixing method used) and refilling them with the test lot.
Start With Temperature
After a short period running at standard conditions, modify the selected
segments of the molding cycle. The cooling period is a good initial option.
Continue reducing it until just the point at which poor moldings are obtained,
then work back up to give a suitable margin. Without changing the temperature
profile, it should be possible, with suitable molds and materials, to reduce
cycle time by up to 25%.
Changing the melt temperature is a longer and potentially more difficult
task but can be rewarding. Reductions in melt temperature of 20-50°C are
possible, with consequent energy savings or reductions in cooling time.
The optimum balance between isothermal cycle time reduction and reduced melt
temperature will be different for each material processed and for each mold,
and may require several trials to achieve.
In extrusion, a similar regimen should be employed. Here, the benefits of
isothermal operation are reduced motor torque (and thus power demand) and, in
some cases, improved throughput. Lower operating temperatures are also an
option, especially in the case of heat sensitive polymers.

Magnaflow vs Flowmaster
2010 GC 5.7 Hemi.
Two weeks ago I swapped out the stock muffler for a Magnaflow 12289:
3" In/Out, Center & Offset, 5 x 8 Oval x 24"
Thought it was the right product for my preference. Too loud at cruise speed - 70MPH - 2000 RPMs. I can live with all else but not that. Wife is on the fence here!!
A Flowmaster 50 Series Delta muffler was recommended.
Will this muffler be quieter than the Magnaflow?
If so, Magnaflow muffler is for sale and I will purchase the Flowmaster.
I understand how subjective and personal these preferences can be so I am looking for a simple answer. Will it be quieter?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers, Dusty
Re: Magnaflow vs Flowmaster
It probably will be, the flowmaster is generally a quieter piece. ..now.. on to the magnaflow, how much :)
Re: Magnaflow vs Flowmaster
Hello there, coming from a pony car perspective, the 50 series flows are quieter than magnaflows. i'm sure they will suit you just fine. they have a low deep tone upon acceleration and mellow out at speed. i've heard them on several SUV's and like them a lot, but to quiet for me.
and yeah i'm new around here, lurking and gathering information because i plan on buying a JGC as well.
Re: Magnaflow vs Flowmaster
i know this is a flow vs mag topic, but has anyone tried dynomax, i ran one on my 3.7 and loved it, i got a flow super 44 and im really not impressed. i will be switchin back to dynomax when i go to duals.
personally i would take the magnaflow
Re: Magnaflow vs Flowmaster
I've had a magnaflow and a flowmaster 40 on a 4.0l ........... I will NEVER again have a magnaflow. the 40 did drone, i haven't had a 50.
At the moment i have a cherrybomb vortex on my hemi with no res into duals. it drones at 60ish mph but above and below are just fine.

Halleluiah! Halleluiah!
LEST WE FORGET. Google had the following two sports stories stacked one over the other this afternoon. Too perfect.
I admit it. I had stopped believing in Hope & Change. I'm a new convert. Suddenly, almost unbelievably, the two biggest clowns who drenched the airwaves with their slobbering idolatry of Brett "The Weepily Unretiring" Favre are gone. John Madden has gone home to the mutation ranch where they grow those eight-legged, seventy-pound, man-loving Tom turkeys, and now, today -- booyah -- Tony Kornheiser is entering the unstoried, unfabled, unlegendary past of ESPN Monday Night Football.
The hat trick will be officially registered when Mrs. Brett Favre finally gives in and allows the world's oldest junior high-school jock asshole to reside on the same acreage with her in Lower Stupid Pickupville, Wisconsin.
That hasn't happened yet, but we're celebrating anyway. We have a Vision. A vision of Monday Night Football that is about the game actually being played on the night it is broadcast. When the announcers will find something, anything on the actual field of play, to talk about besides Brett Favre and Michael Vick or, when they're being especially clever in their knowing way, Michael Vick and Brett Favre.
There was a time when we thought nothing could be worse than Joe Theismann and whatever made-up storyline he clung to diarrhetically through thick and thin, usually having to do with what a brilliantly prescient football mind belonged to one Joe Theismann, who graduated from Notre Dame, don't you know, and could reduce any football game to the one-note plot he had dreamed up in his hotel room the night before, regardless of what was actually happening on the field.
But then came Tony Kornheiser.
[Thank me HERE for my beneficent omission of the endless list of broadcast crimes perpetrated by this pompous pseudo-intellectual's incessant outrages against every conceivable prior definition of the sins of repetition, loving the sound of your own voice more than life itself, and frankly nauseating homoerotic hero worship of the league's two most repellent permanent adolescent jerks. In NFL history. Ever. By a long, lo-o-o-o-o-ng way.]
Now he's gone. Maybe Grudin will be awful, boring, obnoxious. All we know for sure is that he can't possibly be as bad as Tony Kornheiser.

A US study of more than 4,000 patients found those on higher doses of statins had 16% fewer serious heart problems, and a 28% cut in total death rate.
The research, in the New England Journal of Medicine, suggests higher doses could save thousands of lives.
Coronary heart disease causes 120,000 deaths a year in the UK.
However, significantly increasing the standard dose of statins made available to all patients at potential risk would have a massive impact on NHS finances.
Their use already costs the NHS an estimated £700m a year.
World-wide, 25 million people get the drugs, but potentially 200 million could benefit from them.
Quick benefit
For the study, patients who took a double dose (80mg) of the drug atorvastatin or a standard dose (40mg) of another drug called pravastatin.
The atorvastatin patients had an average LDL (bad) cholesterol level of 62mg per decilitre of blood as compared to 95mg per decilitre on average in the pravastatin patients.
The benefits of the more intense treatment started to become apparent within a month.
Lead researcher Dr Christopher Cannon, of Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, said: "We already knew that statins given to lower bad cholesterol to less than 100 are a terrific way of preventing death and heart attacks.
"The big question was: Relative to already excellent treatment, is there anything else gained by taking the cholesterol down another step? And we found that there clearly
In the UK it is common for a patient to be prescribed 10-20mg of atorvastatin as a preventative measure.
In more severe cases, 40mg is a standard dose, but this can be upped to 80mg in cases where the patient does not respond to the drug as readily.
Details of the research were presented at a meeting of the American College of
Cardiology in New Orleans.

Dan Hecklerĺs no couch potato.He works hard tending the tasty tubers at Jackĺs Farm in North Coventry.
ôI just washed a few hundred pounds of potatoes,ö he said in preparation for last weekĺs Phoenixville Farmersĺ Market. ôOut of a quarter acre, weĺll get two tons of potatoes this year.ö
And right now all eyes are on the humble spud. September is National Potato Month.
ôEating-wise, there are hundreds of varieties of potatoes,ö explained Heckler. ôThere are definitely different flavors and textures out there. Every potato is certainly not created equal.ö
Hereĺs another bit of tater trivia: ôThe first potato that a plant sets underground is always the largest potato, and then they drop in size,ö he described. ôYou sort of have an alpha potato.ö
This year, Hecklerĺs growing six varieties on his certified organic farm, including Kennebec, Red French fingerling and a purple potato called Magic Molly.
ôI think one of the great things about the small farms is they grow a variety,ö said Liz Andersen of Charlestown Farm in Charlestown Township.
Using organic growing methods, she planted 8,500 lineal feet of potatoes this year with names like Red Norland, Purple Viking and Blue Gold, which has ôa blue skin, but itĺs got a waxy, moist flesh.ö
ôFor us, this was a big year for potatoes. They like a lot of moisture. We started harvesting about a month ago,ö said Andersen, who also coordinates the Phoenixville Farmersĺ Market. ôThe one thing that people might not know is thereĺs seasonality among potatoes. The early varieties donĺt keep as well.ö
ôI like all potatoes,ö she added. ôThey get a bad rap, but they can be very nutritious. Particularly, thereĺs a lot of nutrition in the skin. We never peel potatoes.ö
One of her favorite recipes is New Potato Salad with Mustard Vinaigrette.
ôThis salad is wonderful served over lettuce. If you double the dressing and add blanched green beans, tuna and hard-boiled egg, you can transform this simple potato salad into Salade Nišoise.ö
As for the prep work, ôI like to dice the potatoes before I boil them,ö Andersen suggested. ôYou cook the potatoes in almost no time at all. It also allows for different sizes of potatoes.ö
She prefers to dice and quickly boil potatoes before roasting them too.
ôItĺs not fast food, but itĺs faster food,ö Andersen joked.
Another easy dish: Crash Potatoes, which are boiled, crushed and then roasted.
ôMy son made it for the first time,ö said Erin Bause of Bause Catered Events in Pottstown. ôWeĺve been making it ever since. The textureĺs really interesting. Itĺs soft inside, but it gets kind of crispy on the outside.ö
The family also enjoys Au Gratin Potatoes, a recipe from her days at Coventry Forge Inn.
ôIt was the starch they served with all the entrÚes,ö she said.
Whether dressed up or simply baked, potatoes are sure to please. So take some time this September to savor a spud.
Crash Potatoes
12 whole small Red Bliss potatoes
4 tablespoons olive oil
kosher salt to taste
black pepper to taste
1 to 2 tablespoons rosemary (or other herbs of choice)
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add in as many potatoes as you wish to make and cook them until they are fork-tender. This can be done a day in advance.
On a sheet pan, lay down baking parchment and drizzle olive oil. With a potato masher (or the base of a mason jar), gently press down each potato until it slightly mashes. Brush the tops of each crushed potato generously with more olive oil. Sprinkle potatoes with kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper and fresh chopped rosemary (or chives or oregano or whatever herb you have available.) Bake in a 450 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.

Au Gratin Potatoes
2 1/2 pounds bliss potatoes, sliced very thinly (on a food processor or mandolin)
2 cups milk
1 to 2 tablespoons salt
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter
Bring the milk to a scald (almost boiling) in a thick-bottomed pot. Add salt (it will taste very salty). Add potatoes, cover with lid and simmer on medium heat, stirring frequently, until potatoes are three-quarters cooked. Drain potatoes from the milk.
Rub a casserole dish with a clove of peeled smashed garlic, leaving pieces of the garlic in the pan. Rub the pan with butter. Put the potatoes into the casserole dish and pour the cream over top. Dot with butter and bake at 375 degrees for 25 to 35 minutes until bubbly around the edges (cream reduces) and golden brown on top.

New Potato Salad with Mustard Vinaigrette
6 to 8 Red Norland potatoes, depending on size
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced finely
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, smooth or whole grain
salt and pepper to taste
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
Kalamata olives
Dice raw potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Cook the potatoes in lightly salted boiling water until they are just starting to become tender (about 5 minutes). Drain potatoes and allow them to cool in a single layer. Slice scallion tips, discarding the green stalks. Mix the dressing ingredients in a jar and shake well. Combine the potatoes and scallions and any other desired additions in a bowl. Toss with the dressing and serve immediately.
Tip: If you want to prepare the salad ahead of time, refrigerate the undressed potatoes and toss with the dressing just before serving.

XMAS NEW YEAR DEC 2012 CRUISE TO NZ: Celebrity Solstice Cruise Review by mitsyate
Overall Member Rating
Destination: Australia & New Zealand
Embarkation: Sydney (Australia)
CABIN Outside with Balcony very spacious. I thought at first we would not have enough space for all our clothes but it was amazing how it all fitted in. It was the first time on a cruise we have been able to watch a movie in the cabin the quality of the Flat screen TV was great.
Bathroom was very spacious wonderul having glass slidind doors in the shower.Lots of cupboards for Bathroom things.
DINING ROOM Was beautful we had select dining which was great our Hostess always got us setted without any bother she was amazing. Food was great only one night my husband was not happy with his meal and the waiter bent over backwards to get another one for him which was wonderful. Xmas Dinner was very nice not as festive as I thought it might have been we did have Turkey as an option and More had Xmas Crackers on the tables.
New Years Eve was lovley very festive everyone in a great mood. I enjoyed Lobster for Dinner that night which was great.
ENTERTAINMENT Saw quite a few good shows one in particular on NY Eve Will Martin from NZ a singer who got a standing ovation he was wonderul what a nice young man he will go places.
TOURS Did the Tarei Gorge Train trip was great but very expensive if the ship had of been earlier arriving we could have done this ourselves for half the price however it was nice being picked up from the ship in the train and dropped back.
The trip we did in Auckland was terrible it was Kelly Tarton Underworld and Sky Tower with airport drop off. The tour guide was terrible no one knew how long we had in places and it only lasted for 3.5 hours when we had paid for 4.5 hours.
Next time we will certianly book our own they are so expensive.They had a trip to Christchurch from Akaroa for 90.00 when we got off we could have got it for 40.00.
STAFF Excellent with only one exception some of th staff in the Coffee Shop could brush up on their Customer Service and smile a bit.These wwere mostly Russians or Ukraines.It ws not all of them just a couple but one day one was so rude it really upset me.
Would I recommend Celebrity certainly we will book on her again. We are off on 2 more cruises from Sydney this year on Radiance and Voyager have been on Radiance and loved it so looking forward to sailing on Voyager. I would also like to add that this was the cleanist ship I have ever been on I kept looking for dust and couldnt find any they were always cleaning and it was noticeable. Less

After my negative last printer review, Ive decided to review another of our collection. The Kyocera FS 680 is my personal favourite. Which is a strange thing to admit under the circumstances!! About a year ago while in the process of finding new printers my boss suggested this one, to which I recalled what the hell is the point in buying it
We need A3 minimum and definitely something capable of printing colour. My boss inevitably ignored my comments and headed straight out to purchase this.
Incredibly this printer has since become a god send. Although only able to print A4 and black and white, this printer consistently chugs away day after day without a glitch. Before I launch into a buy now buy now speech Ill tell you the features of the printer and let you decide!
This printer as with most is compatible with PC or Mac. Disks are included with the printer for installation. Of course if you do have XP you will not require any installation disks. It can also easily be networked, just pick the computer you want to attach it to and then access the printer from any other as with any equipment that has sharing capabilities.
As this printer has now been within Kyoceras range for a few years it is possible to pick up second hand printers for approx £40 upwards. To buy it new, again as it has since been out ranked by faster higher performing printers the price has dropped considerably. To give you an idea, we paid £250 for it new, now its price varies between £90 and £120 for the same printer!
I think this printer comes in a pretty neat little package, in fact it is only about 10cm in circumference more than the size of an A4 sheet. Very important for anyone who works like I do with machines surrounding us and desk space at a high premium Approximately 300mm wide x 340mm. The other really useful thing about this printer is the ventilation for printer is located at the side rather than at the back, which means you can store the printer against a wall, rather than requiring a gap to let air in and out as many other printer of this type require.
The printer is slightly bulky in regards to the height of the printer. As it has a deep tray for loading paper under the printer its height measures approx 340mm, so it really is a boxy printer. Baring in mind you need further space above to get the print outs off, its a difficult height to store under shelving, especially on standard computer desks.
The other point worth noting in regards to the printers appearance is the colour. that as it began manufacture prior to the trend to produce computers and equipment in a colour other than buff, it is that rather drab buff colour. For me thats fine, as everything we have is pretty much old school and the same colour, but for those of you who have started buying the more attractive grey, black or transparent computer equipment then be warned this will stand out like a sore thumb! Kyocera have still not broken into the colour revolution that is happening in computers at the moment, so whichever model you can choose any colour casing As long as its buff!!!
Print Sizes:
A4 only Im afraid, but for the majority of offices and home environments Im sure A4 more than suffices.
Loading the Paper:
I find this to be very straight forward. Paper feed tray is via a tray located at the base of the unit. To open the tray there is a moulded ergonomic handle which is easily pulled open. The tray then opens out infront of the printer and holds approximately 60-70 sheets of 80gsm paper. The printer feeds the paper from the back of the tray up and around the rollers, so if you are printing on coated paper of any description or something double sided then the side you wish to print upon needs to be laid face down. The paper loader never fails, a definite plus point of the printer! Only time it seems to stop printing in fact is when the drawer is empty!!!
Performance/Print Quality
I give the printer top marks in this department. It is more than capable of running huge print jobs of 200 plus sheets without any failure. The speed of printing a sheet varies according to how much information is contained on the sheet. For a sheet of just text, I estimate it can print 30-40 a minute. However if the sheet has images or complex text this rate slows right down to 6 or 7 a minute. So probably that averages out to 10 or so a minute. The manual states that its rate is 8 pages per minute, but this is definitely an under estimate.
The printer has its own in built RAM, which can be changed or increased if you did wish to increase its printing speed then its a worthy investment. Approximately £40 will increase its printing speed significantly.
The quality of the print is reliably stable. We have never had any streaking or blurring of any image or text, and this printer is heavily used. It prints at 600dpi, and doesnt have options to increase the dpi unlike an ink jet. I had an experiment with this, as I was sure that this printer was out performing one of our Epson inkjets on quality. I set the inkjet to print at 1440dpi and sent a page to print to the Kyocera and loaded the same paper into both. When I compared the two print outs, there really was no difference and I would even say the laser beat the inkjet on consistency.
We now split the printing of our reports so that anything with black ink only is printed by the Kyocera, while anything colour is printed to our inkjet. No-one has ever noticed the difference in quality page to page, so I think 600dpi maximum offered on this printer is more than sufficient.
Toner/Running Costs
As many of you will know, one huge advantage laser printers have over ink jet is not only the speed at which they can print but also their running costs. Ive found the toner to be generally very economically priced. One toner cartridge is approximately £30 ex VAT, but many suppliers operate deals where if you buy in bulk the cartridges are available at a much cheaper rate. Each cartridge prints approx 5000 pages, so its printing costs are far lower than that of any inkjet, regardless of what compatible cartridge you find!
The other replacement cost that may occur over time is replacement of the drum. The price of a replacement drum is generally about £90-£100, which sounds a lot but as it has an average life span of 150,000-200,000 pages it has a cost of 0.0006p per sheet. So when you put it in perspective, it really isnt going to break the bank, especially when considering the money saved on toner cartridge prices.
The other thing I would like to mention under this point is that where as ink jets require their heads cleaning over and over again to prevent clogging. Lasers seem to never clog. Probably due to the fact that the printing is a dry process rather than wet as in lasers. But imagine how many times you clean the heads of your printer and how much time and money is wasted doing that.
All I can say is this printer goes on and on and on, never failing. Maybe we hit lucky and this model is the best on the production line. But personally I find all laser printers superior in reliability to their inkjet cousins. Working on a similar technology to photocopies lasers just seem to be able to cope with larger numbers of prints. In the time that we have owned this printer, absolutely nothing has faltered or failed. I personally think that is remarkable for a piece of equipment which is used day in day out.
So to sum up, this printer is definitely on my highly recommended list!

Columbus Clippers cruise to 6-2 victory against Buffalo Bisons
COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Columbus Clippers (38-33) used patience early and pop late with some quality pitching at all points in between to defeat the Buffalo Bisons (32-36), 6-2, in front of 8,558 fans at Huntington Park.
The win is the seventh consecutive for the Clippers and moves them one game closer to first after Indianapolis' loss.
The Clippers showed plenty of patience in their three-run third. The three-run rally started when Ryan Rohlinger was hit by Buffalo starter Sean Nolin (2-4, 3.70 ERA). The next four batters reached base before Justin Sellers singled and was followed by three consecutive walks, which produced a pair of runs. The rally culminated with a sacrifice fly to center by Adam Abraham that scored Tyler Holt.
"We took advantage of what we were given at the time," Clippers manager Chris Tremie said. "We were fortunate that they were able to give us some (pitches out of the strike zone) and we were able to not go out of the zone and chase them."
The single by Sellers was the Clippers only hit through the first six innings and also extended a short hit streak to five games. Tyler Holt picked up the Clippers' second hit leading off the seventh.
"I think we had one hit until the sixth or the seventh," Holt said. "That's a credit to guys having good at-bats, taking walks and timely hitting. The sac fly got the job done."
Holt also worked two walks in back-to-back innings.
"I'm trying to do my job in the one and two hole and see pitches," Holt said. "Hopefully (I am able to) put some barrel on it or take my walks, which I've been doing and get on base for those guys."
The Clippers broke it open in the eighth when Giovanny Urshela started the inning with a double to center. Roberto Perez brought him in with a single to left. Audy Ciriaco drove a pitch to deep center that bounced away from Buffalo centerfielder Colby Rasmus and allowed Ciriaco a triple and the Clippers a four-run lead.
"To add those runs in the eighth inning and stretch the lead out really deflates the other team and makes you a lot more comfortable going (into the ninth) with four runs rather than the one run ball game," Tremie said.
Kyle Davies (4-4, 3.81 ERA) started for the Clippers and went six innings and was the victim of some shoddy defense by the Clippers. An error by the shortstop led to the first run in the fourth. Kevin Pillar reached and then was driven in on a double to left by Brad Glenn.
An inning later, an error by the third baseman allowed Ryan Goins to reach. Two batters later, Adron Chambersdrove him in with a single to left and Buffalo was within a run.
Overall, Davies was charged with two unearned runs and gave up five hits and two walks with one strikeout.
"(Davies) had to work in the middle innings there," Tremie said. I thought he looked stronger in the sixth inning than he looked all night. In his last outing, he looked really good in his late innings of work. He had done his job tonight: 100 pitches, he got us through six innings with the lead and he handed it over to the bullpen."
Scott Barnes took over in the seventh and retired the next five batters before being removed for Vinnie Pestano. Glenn took a Pestano pitch to deep center where Holt leaped at the wall to steal extra bases away.
"We were playing deep so I kind of had a better angle than playing straight up," Holt said of the catch. "I didn't have to slow down; I didn't have to speed up. I jumped and kind of closed my eyes and hoped for the best."
Vinnie Pestano, allowed a hit in the ninth, but also struck out a batter and picked up his sixth save of the season.
The Clippers and Buffalo are set to play again on Wednesday night with the third game of the four-game set with first pitch scheduled for 7:05 p.m. at Huntington Park. Columbus is scheduled to turn to righty Travis Banwart (4-2, 3.59 ERA) for the 14th time this season.
He picked up a quality start in his last outing in the win over Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday night where he gave up three runs over 6.2 innings and was a bad bounce away from completing the seventh with one fewer runs whenAustin Romine lined a ball off his leg that rolled just out of reach.
Banwart picked up his fourth victory of the year in the game and his first win since May 17. He also tied for the team lead in wins with Trevor Bauer, who hasn't pitched in Columbus since May 13.

Wiring Generator Inlet
9 Attachment(s)
I am about to start making a permanent hookup for a portable generator. The plan is to install a manual transfer switch and to put a remote inlet on the wall of my attached garage.
So for the wiring, my plan is to run 10-3 romex from the panel, across the basement and go through the rim joist and into the garage. From there I was thinking of running conduit straight up the wall and into a surface mounted 30 amp inlet box. The walls in the garage are dry wall.
My questions are these:
1. Is it OK to run romex in conduit like this?
2. Would it be better to just fish the wire behind the drywall and come out straight into the back of the inlet box?
3. How high off the floor should the inlet box be, and are there any other requirements for placement?
4. Anything else I should think of?
9 Attachment(s)
Thanks jbfan!
I can probably fish the wire behind the drywall if i fool around with it a little. But if I can place this anywhere on the wall, then I guess I could just place the box right over the hole where I'm coming through from the basement, eliminating the need for conduit or wire fishing.
One more thing, I just realized I have a garden hose spigot next to where I'm planning on coming through the wall, are there any distance from a water source requirement for an inlet like this?
I just wouldn't put it underneath.

Thanks for your help!
Please don't run that generator inside the garage.:no:
9 Attachment(s)

so I'm thinking I'll probably run conduit from where the wire comes through the drywall and about 2ft up the wall and into the surface mounted box.
How do I transition from where the wire comes through the drywall to the conduit? Can I just get a 90 degree elbow and stick one end into the hole in the drywall and connect the other end to the conduit running up to the box?
I am looking to do the exact same setup. My basement panel is right next to and below my attached garage. Having the inlet on the garage wall right above would protect it from weather and I could just run the generator cord under the door outside to the generator in my driveway. It seems like the easiest install. My question is the 10-3 wire would be exposed for 2-3 feet running up the garage wall from where it come out from the basement up to the inlet box. I have read that you can't put nmb inside a conduit, though. I believe the wire needs to be protected I'd it is exposed on the outside of the drywall though. It is acceptable to just have that small 2-3 foot section in conduit for protection?
Also, I have 25' of 10awg SOOW 4 wire. Can this be used instead of buying 10-3 Romex? Link below.
I did similar... I installed my inlet box on an exterior siding wall directly behind where I installed the transfer switch. Used romex inside corrugated conduit to connect the 2. When you are done put a bead of clear silicone or caulk around your inlet box.
putting the outlet in the garage is not a good idea .....there are requirements of how far the running gen is from a door or window ....
Put the outlet OUTSIDE ..!!!
most GENERATOR outlets are made to be put outside they are weatherproof ...
NO, soow wire can not be used for permanent wiring only romex!:thumbsup:
yes u can put NM wire in conduit ... just not in WET locations ..

LOL first problem ......Reliant
try this ... outlet is on the BOTTOM and panel is completely customizable to each persons needs .....
this is a kit >> cord, panel, and outlet ..

Snowboarding Forum - Snowboard Enthusiast Forums (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/forum.php)
- Western Canada (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/western-canada/)
- - Question about the Buy and Sell ? (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/western-canada/43645-question-about-buy-sell.html)
Question about the Buy and Sell ?
I have a shit load of snowboarding gear that I've been accumulating.
I know there is a Buy and Sell section, but I don't even have a credit card or have a clue about paypal.
So I was wondering if I should post it in here?
Realistically, you guys are the only ones that could get it.
Cause you would have to be relatively close too me to get it.
Nothing super fancy or new, but fairly cheap I think?
I just gotta clean house.
Go get a paypal or you won't be taken seriously by anyone. Unless you can do cash hand to hand transfers
Well dude start researching about paypal, like milo said, you will not be taken seriously what so ever.
People are really serious/strict about buying on the internet. No one is just going to mail you cash in an envelope or whatever you're thinking.
It's also not all about them getting ripped off, do YOU want to be taken advantage of? If you don't know what you're doing people will easily be able to see and they won't hesitate to rip you off.
Start doing your homework :)
I don't think you understood what I was trying to get across.
I live in Maple Ridge which is close to the center of the Frazer Valley.
Even though this is a Western Canada section, I've noticed quite a few people seem to also living in the Fraser Valley, & going to the same mountains.
I know of two people from this forum, that have replied to my Craigslist postings.
They might not know it, but the same email confirms it.
Since you guys & myself are the ones that live & breath snowboarding, hence the membership to this forum.
I figured I might as well just post all my shit in here.
Hopefully that is more clear on my intentions, make more sense?
So I don't need a paypal thing, well maybe I do? But I have to much on my plate @ the moment
Ah, I see, sorry for going all 'protective mode' on you :)
Nothing wrong with posting a "for sale" message specifying what area you're in. State that you'll only sell locally and face-to-face. It reduces your potential audience, but if it works, why not?
Paypal is really not painful to set up. Just sign up and add a credit card and a bank account (it's a good idea to be verified, saves suspicion and hassles). When you add a bank account (you just need a cheque) Paypal will put a couple tiny deposits in your account for confirmation. It's really not a big deal if you are legit.
Shipping clothes is cheap, boots not really worth it, and boards well that just depends on the board.
That's what I thought, I'm just tryin' to spread the stoke.
I love trying out new shit, that's why I have so much shit.
So I'm open for trades, I don't really have a go to board.

Install sound card to computer with onboard, integrated sound?
Infopackets Reader James M. writes:
" I have a Compaq Presario 7360 and would like to replace my on-board (integrated) sound card with a third-party, PCI sound board (such as a SoundBlaster). How do I go about disabling the on-board sound so that the computer will recognize and use the new sound card? "
My response:
Typically, this is done by disabling the on-board sound card within the CMOS (also referred to as the BIOS). The CMOS is instantiated by pressing the DEL or F2 key (or some other combination) as soon as you turn your computer.
Once you are inside the CMOS menu, you may need to go into every sub-menu and look for an option that pertains to your on-board sound, and then disable it. Once that's finished, exit the CMOS (saving changes), wait for the computer to reboot, and then power down; insert your new sound card in the PCI slot and power on the computer... boot into Windows and the new sound card should be detected. The old one will no longer appear under Device Manager.
James wrote in again after I sent my response:
" I'm sorry Dennis, but I've already looked in my CMOS and could find no option to disable it. Could there be a jumper on the motherboard that has to be changed? And if so, how difficult would it be to locate it and change it? "
My response:
It is possible that your main board uses a jumper or DIP switch to disable the onboard sound, but this is very unlikely. If in doubt, your best bet is to retain your motherboard manual and look for instructions on disabling the onboard sound. If no motherboard manual is available, visit the manufacturer's web site (HP) and look to see if there is a downloadable manual / search the site for related information.
If that fails, try disabling your onboard sound card using Device Manager. To do so: ensure that the new sound card is not plugged into your computer, launch Device Manager, and scroll down to the sound options, disabling everything related to the sound card. In theory, this will disable all I/O ports on the onboard sound, thereby freeing up any resources that may be needed by the new sound card.

text: Last week I was watching some of the winner speeches from The Webby Awards. Speeches there are limited to five words which makes them a real creative test and makes me wish all award shows had some kind of similar rules. Anyway, instead of coming up with five word speeches, I thought I would ask everyone here to come up with the 3 best words to describe themselves. For me I would say, Large. Fun. Basement.

you hit that on the head marye. he is soo annoying. why not build a home for someone who has none at all!! not that most of the families are deserving, but i think they go a little overboard at times. maybe the dude living in a van down by the river could use a small joint to call home, eh?
nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile
seems to me that i saw an episode guide for space ghost that listed bob weir as a guest on one show. i'll have to try to find it again.

I decided against watching it (in part because of the trailer about killing the chicken, and in part because I did not want to get sucked in...), but I agree the concept is real intriguing.
On my guilty pleasures list is Extreme Makeover Home Edition. There is so much NOT to like about it (is Ty Pennington the most annoying human on the planet or WHAT? and, even though I'm not exactly religious, I was kinda raised on not taking the lord's name in vain, and the makeover recipients from ages 5 up feeling obliged to scream "Oh My God!" over every appliance and light fixture, clearly with at least tacit encouragement from the producers, bugs the hell out of me...), and yet, so much sweetness comes through anyway, so many really touching stories, etc.
I pay because its worth it.
Sopranos may be over and the movies aren't that great but there is still pretty good documentaries you won't see elsewhere and the series are great.
Big Love
Real Time with Bill Mahar
I also like the edgy series on FX like
Always sunny in philadelphia
Rescue me
i saw a few bits and pieces of this show. reminds me of an old twilight zone or star trek. kids ruling the world!!! i heard there was some controversy about this one and it could have been just hype for ratings, idk, but it's cool. it's like their own little commune.
nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile
I mean, c'mon. And I don't know which is worse, the survivor-themed ones or the romance-themed ones, except the latter seem extra degrading to all concerned.
I am a HUGE family guy lover/watcher!!!. have all the seasons on dvd. really liked the star wars parody. man, i must have seen that in the theater about 8 times when i was a kid. tried telling my 14 year old that we used to do that back in the 70's prior to the advent of the videotape/dvd, etc. in mho, fam guy is the best comedy on tv these days
nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile
how about LIFE, did anyone check it out last week. i think it's on tonight(wednesday) on NBC. great way to live life-staying in the moment. it looks like t.v. is finally getting watchable again. i was soooo sick of "REALITY" shows that were in no way like any reality that i know of. let's learn from EARL and the dude on LIFE. karma and zen are the way to go brothers and sisters!!!!
nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile
I am shocked I have not seen anyone mention My Name Is Earl (grant it I got tired and stopped so I apologize to anyone who mentioned it first, the bees will get me soon).... one of the funniest, cleverest, well written comedies I have seen in a long time!
Life lessons simply put, "Do good things, good things happen. Do bad things, bad things happen."
if u have not caught this i highly recommend it!!!
so can't comment on that, but I sure do like LaPaglia. Just looked him up on IMDB (great resource!) and he sure is Australian. Also has some other interesting credits I should check out.
Yes, I do love mysteries. Books too, but only certain authors, and then i get mad because I'm done with the new book and have to wait another year for the next one.

On Friday, I was fortunate enough to attend the preview event for the Balenciaga of Spain special exhibit at the de Young Museum.The exhibit displays a beautiful overview of the work of the amazing Spanish couturier Cristobal Balenciaga and will be on display from March 26th until July 4th.Being that I am absolutely not a fashion expert I'm not going to try and get all fancy about what I saw….but I will tell you what I would do if I were to go again and some things to look out for should you decide to go.
-You are not allowed to take pictures. I wish I had brought a sketch book to quickly jot things down that inspired me.
-When you first walk in you will see the pink gown (shown above). I appreciated the detail of the words matching the dress on the black background. Simple but impactful.
-I didn't get the headphones so I can't speak to that but as you go along, stop and read the text. It's a quick read and gives you great history about the designer and his inspirations.
-The first area has two sides: There are suits, evening gowns and dresses. Make sure you look at both sides before going through. I walked the right side then decided to circle around to the left at the very end and had to fight the foot traffic of people as I was the only one going that direction.
-My favorite suit is gray with the AMAZING collar (you'll know it when you see it)
-Don't miss any of the freestanding dresses incased in glass. Take in the 360 view of the dresses.
-The green dress that looks like a pea pod…looks unusual at first but really, look close at how it is meant to be warn. Try and figure out where your arms go. This was my favorite dress.
-The flamenco section. Wow. Notice the boleros. Doesn't that look like something you would wear today?
-Don't forget about the dresses in the middle of this section. I almost overlooked them.
-Many of the paintings you see on the walls of the exhibit were the inspirations that the designs you see were drawn from!
-Example: Balenciaga's "Infanta" dress from 1939 was inspired by the Diego Velázquez painting
-Example: The black evening ensemble with "chou" wrap from 1967 was inspired by the La Duquesa de Alba painting
-After I had finished seeing everything, I was disappointed that they didn't show any of the sketches for what we saw. Wrong!
-If you walk through the gift shop they have the sketches just on the other side. This could have easily been overlooked and would have been greatly missed.
-They show the sketch of the green dress that I loved. There is also a lovely quote about Balenciaga from Coco Chanel.
-Just before you exit, there is a black and white video from a Balenciaga runway show. The entire video is less than 10 minutes and it's worth watching.
-It's fun to see how casual the runways used to be and they even show a model in my favorite dress! It was like seeing the dress come full circle!
As you can tell….I LOVED the exhibit. I was thinking "That dress would fit me!" or "I would love to try that on!". I kept waiting for Hamish Bowles to come around the corner and insist that I put one on. A girl can dream right?

Notes: While Baby Boomers (aged 49-67) and Millennials (19-36) each account for an equal 24% of the US population, Boomers represent almost three times the share of the adult Mass Affluent population (41% vs. 14%), per data contained in a recent Nielsen report. Separately, the study indicates that the Mass Affluent population – defined as households with liquid assets between $250k and $1m excluding real estate – represent 11% of households, but 26% of total wealth.

New teenage drivers can be frighteningly dangerous on the road. But their accidents often are the product of rookie mistakes, rather than irresponsible aggressive driving.
As The New York Times reports, a new study of more than 800 crashes involving teens around the U.S. shows that 62 percent were caused not by drag racing or other such youth exploits, but rather by misjudging driving conditions and neglecting to scan the road, along with getting distracted, often by a passenger in the car.
The analysis, published in the journal Accident Analysis and Prevention, suggests that addressing inexperienced driver issues would go a long way toward making teens less of a menace behind the wheel. The study was conducted by Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and State Farm Insurance.
"The question is, what should we be doing with teens during that learning phase that can produce a better driver?" said Dr. Dennis Durbin, one of the study's authors and the co-director of the Center for Injury Research and Prevention at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. "We want to create programs that can help parents more intentionally teach these kinds of skills."
Many states have implemented more restrictive procedures for teen licenses in recent years, from raising the age for learners permits to prohibiting minors from driving after 10 p.m. While such restrictions are credited for a 30 percent drop in teen driving fatalities, Durbin and other experts say addressing the three main causes could make things safer still.
One of the ways to do so is through "narrative driving," in which adults drive while giving a teenage passenger a running commentary. For example, the Times advises, adult drivers can point out examples of unsafe driving, indicate when they are checking the mirrors and explain how they deal with distractions without taking their eyes off the road.

The (mis)logic behind a larger tank is in thinking it will extend run time but that is not thinking beyond the first recharge cycle at which point ALL extra time gained will then be lost to the proportionally longer recharge time so nothing is gained. Usually a compressor with a larger tank will be mated to a higher CFM compressor but the problem is that is not always true, selecting a compressor by the size of the tank can easily cause a person to pass up better performance for a uselessly over-sized tank. As I pointed out earlier the difference in run time between an 80 gallon tank and a 60 is going to be mere seconds anyway then the tank has to recharge and even that extra time is lost waiting on the longer recharge time for the larger tank to refill (with all else being equal), if the compressor keeps up then no waiting will be required but again in that case the tank makes zero difference in performance. With equal CFM ratings a 60 gallon tank will average the same run vs recharge time as an 80 gallon tank, heck if the CFM is the same even a 40 gallon tank would keep up just as well but the cycle rate might be annoying. For that matter a 40 gallon compressor with 13 CFM would OUTPERFORM a 12 CFM compressor with an 80 gallon tank! It's easy to find compressors with 60 gallon tanks that will outperform some 80 gallon models and that's why telling someone to look for a big tank is terribly misguided advice. CFM is what makes a compressor keep up and a few gallons of extra tank storage only changes the cycle rate and does not help at all to keep up with air hungry tools, over a given work period the run time vs the time spent waiting on recharge will be exactly the same between 60 gallons or 80. The larger tank will yield fewer but longer recharge cycles but the average run time will be the same if all else is equal. Select that compressor based on SCFM and overall quality because it is how much CFM the pump is putting into the tank that matters not how much the tank can hold!
I am not saying to avoid big tanks, just don't buy based on the thinking that it's going to make a better performing compressor because it won't. The manufacturer will size the tank according to the PUMP/Motor and expected usage demand so that the run and recharge times will be reasonably balanced, NOT to increase performance. On some cheaper models a large tank is used to create the appearance of being a large compressor but they may have small under powered pumps with low CFM ratings that mean they actually are in fact small compressors, some of those things would actually be better off with a smaller tank. The bottom line is for most home shops a compressor of adequate size will most likely be either a 60 gallon tank or an 80 gallon and either is just fine but that should depend on the CFM, in any case NEVER, EVER pass up higher CFM to get a bigger tank- NEVER! Buy based on CFM and duty cycle because that's what makes a compressor keep up and don't worry about a few tank gallons one way or the other!
Enough with the bashing already, just give the man the recommendation he asked for!
After all, you ARE the expert here.
You've wasted a bunch of time typing and still nothing of substance except your
critical opinion on tank size...

|Health Behaviors in School-age Children: A World Health Organization Cross-National Study
|Official Title ICMJE
|U.S. Health Behavior in School Children Survey
|Brief Summary
This study is a survey (Health Behaviors in School-age Children) sponsored by the World Health Organization to gather information about nutrition, dieting practices, physical activity, injuries, violence, relationships with family and friends, perceptions of school as a supportive environment, alcohol and tobacco use and drug use among adolescents, and about the communities in which students live. The U.S. sponsors of the survey are the National Institutes of Health and the Health Resources and Services Administration.
The objectives of the international HBSC study are:
In addition to the above, the survey includes additional questions designed to provide information about areas of specific national interest, including the following:
This is the third U.S. administration of the HBSC survey, previously administered in 1997-1998 and 2001-2002.
U.S. participants in the survey include about 15,000 students from 350 schools selected to take part across the country. In each school, one or two classes (about 25 students) in each grade 6 through 10 are picked randomly to participate. In one class period, the students complete the written survey, which has 80 multiple choice questions. Students do not put their name on the survey. When they finish the survey, the place it in an envelope and seal it shut. The envelopes are then put in a box. Reports will not include the names of participating counties, cities, school districts, schools, or students.
The information collected from U.S. school children is compared with similar information collected from school children in 36 other countries. The survey is used to help set national priorities for school and youth programs, as well as to monitor the progress of these programs.
|Detailed Description
|The Health Behaviors in School-age Children (HBSC) survey is the only international survey of its type and the only national survey of adolescent health behavior in the U.S. The U.S. HBSC complements the Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) and the Monitoring the Future surveys of older adolescents. The aims of the survey are to assess the prevalence of health behaviors and identify factors associated with them in a national probability sample of 6th -10th grade students, allowing for trend analyses and cross-national comparisons among the 37 countries involved in the quadrennial international HBSC surveys. This would be the third U.S. administration of the HBSC survey, previously administered in 1997-1998 and 2001-2002.

The number of new repossessions in Q1 2011 increased for the first time in a year and was close to a fifth higher than the number recorded in the final three months of 2010, according to the Financial Services Authority's (FSA) first quarter mortgage lending report. This means repossessions have risen by 17%, signalling bad news for families.
"Last year even though we were just out of recession, repossessions fell quarter on quarter but with the economic recovery stalled, government support for families struggling to make their mortgage repayments cut and more and more people having to claim job-seekers' allowance, repossessions are starting to rise again.
"The government is letting people down on housing - repossessions are up, homelessness is up and rough sleeping is starting to rise again. We're risking a vicious circle where by cutting too far and too fast - hitting families and costing jobs - we end up with more people on benefits and fewer in work paying taxes making it harder to get the deficit down. People will rightly be asking where is their plan B?"
