Suspension, Brakes and Tires Discussion, which rotors and brakes should I get? in Item Specific Cadillac Discussion; For every site you find that says they don't warp, there is one that says they do. http://www.r1concepts.com/blog/are-y...ing-or-warped/ Cast iron ...
For every site you find that says they don't warp, there is one that says they do.
Cast iron skillets warp, cast iron cylinder heads warp. Cast iron rotors warp. Like I said before, go ahead and keep telling people they don't warp, and I'll keep fixing the ones that are.

Re: which rotors and brakes should I get?
Earl, you can't change anyone's mind you may as well caulk it up. I'm a
backyard mechanic and have done many brake jobs on my personal cars
over the years. I must say it got a whole lot easier since the advent of disc
brakes. What I do is only replace the rotors if they are causing vibes or
they are scored bad. I don't turn them either, just replace the pads. One time
I tried expensive pads, if I remember EBC's, what a mistake, not only did they
cost too much but they were terrible dusting and wore out faster and a total
waste of time and money. I'm not a race car driver, just an average old man
putzer, don't need anything but OEM, they last longest and stay cleanest and
make less noise. That's why these engineers make the big bucks. thanks, douglas
Re: which rotors and brakes should I get?
Curious - I use EBC slotted rotors and Redstuff ceramic pads and have excellent braking with NO dust. 2 years now and the pads are hardly worn. Pictures in my albums. (I gotcha by 6 years)

Next time I need pads ima try out the redstuff. I have akebono's for two years now and they are still about 70% left. No dust at all, seems to stop about like ac delco's. Sub, what kind of difference to you feel with the slotted rotors?
Re: which rotors and brakes should I get?
Hard one, Earl ............ I went straight from the stock GM rotors/pads to the EBC Black Dash Ultimax (whew!!!) slotted rotors and Redstuff pads. After a wild day of breakin 2 years ago, they're great brakes.
The reason I did the change was speed-related: I run the car occasionally on public days at Dover raceway and an old airport road (farm border) over in east MD. At the airport you run out of pavement and have to make a hard right turn at 6,000 feet - just over a mile. The stock brakes would literally disappear by the time you dropped from 130+ to ~40 - one time ! With the slotted rotors (and I think it's not just the slots - the ventilation vanes are better) - I still have plenty of brake on the side road. At Dover, two pretty severe slowdowns from 100+ would make the stock brakes "slippery" - no such sensation with the slotted rotors - same reasoning as above.
Coming down from speed you can hear the slots - a kind of low-pitched background 'whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.......', but it's not loud.
Best part: The braking action is glass-smooth............... and essentially zero dust (after breakin).
Hmmm interesting, thanks for the info.

Re: which rotors and brakes should I get?
Got a set of EBC Ultimax rotors and red stuff pad's coming for my CTS same setup I used on my last car with no issue's
Re: which rotors and brakes should I get?
For those that DO go with EBC pads and rotors ........... The pads come with a smear of EBC's "Brake-In" compound on the face of the material. It's a hard, slightly abrasive coating that wears away quickly and smoothes the rotors as well as assures there aren't and pad resin deposits left from old pads or, in the case of the Ultimax rotors, the black zinc coating is polished off the braking surfaces. During the break-in period these pads can be scary - the noise and vibration may be just awful for the first few hard stops. Follow the recommended break-in procedure - I did mine in one afternoon, worried a lot, and am now a happy camper; someone who is not used to working with high performance brakes may well have second thoughts and be scared, especially if the break-in has to occur in a city driving environment.

Re: which rotors and brakes should I get?
The paper work that comes with the EBC's does state most of that

This is a discussion on Kahr CW40 opinions or better options? within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I'm looking to pick up a good concealed carry 40 S&W semi. I love the dimensions and clean lines of the Kahr's, and the CW40 ...
I'm looking to pick up a good concealed carry 40 S&W semi. I love the dimensions and clean lines of the Kahr's, and the CW40 seems like a good "budget" version of their pistol line.
What are your opinions of the CW40 (or the P40)? Pluses? Minuses?
The only thing I don't like is that the CW40 is only 7 rounds...
What are some other comparable options in 40S&W that are good for concealed carry - looking for something trim. Not a fan of doublestack Glocks. Thanks!
Steyr S40. Double stack mag though. I have no problem with the larger M40.
I like Kahr pistols , but dont care for the .40 ctg. I dont think you will go wrong with a cw in any cal even tho i do not own one , my kahrs are the p series .
The only real complaint i have with the cw series is the sights , or rather the way they are mounted , i prefer the dovetailed method .
Make sure you get full value out of today , Do something worthwhile, because what you do today will cost you one day off the rest of your life .
We only begin to understand folks after we stop and think .
Criminals are looking for victims, not opponents.
I think your best bet might be a 1911 in .40 caliber with a short barrel of 3 inches and slim grip panels. Kimber, Colt and STI have all made guns like this, and they typically have a slide width of 0.90 inches (same as the Kahrs) and a grip width of about 1.0 inches with the slim grip panels. The Colt Defender and the Kimber Ultra are both in this category and have been made in .40 caliber. These are typically more expensive than the Kahrs, however, and involve cocked and locked carry.
vashooter I find the .40 to be a solution in search of a problem . IMHO it offers no advantage over either my 9mm or my .45acp and has a recoil impulse that i find snappy and uncomfortable in almost every pistol i have tried in it . In fact i find full house 10mm more comfortable to shoot than the .40 , and it would offer some advantages if i still carryed one . Another round i see in the same light is the .357 sig IMHO they are not better , just different , and in fact worse for me .

I have a Kahr P40 that works well for me in the warmer months. When I first got it, I had some feeding issues. I sent it out to Kahr and had it back in two weeks with a polished feed ramp and a new recoil spring. Now it doesn't miss a beat.

It is better to have your gun and not need it, than to need it and not have it!
You cannot choose the conditions for a gunfight, so train in all conditions!
I have a CW40 and I like it. The one thing you will notice however, is that it is a pretty snappy gun (recoil). I have not had the opertunity to shoot a kahr in 9mm, but I would imagine that all the kahrs are pretty snappy to a degree compared to larger fatter weapons. Felt recoil compared to my glock 23 is significant. I also attribute that partially due to the fact that is so thin. When first shooting it, I felt that I could not get a firm enough grip on it.
I will support gun control when you can guarantee all guns are removed from this planet. That includes military and law enforcement. When you can accomplish that, then I will be the last person to lay down my gun. Then I will carry the weapon that replaces the gun.
The entire line of Kahr pistols are AWESOME! Some of the PM9 had recalls on them, but other than that they seem to be overall great. I have 3 P9's, 1 P40, 1 P9 covert, and a K40 (among various other firearms.) I find the P40 to be very snappy on recoil, but what do you expect from a powerful 40 cartridge and such a light gun. It is snappy, but not painful to shoot. The 40 cal is a great cartridge, which is proven by its foothold in the Law Enforcement community. The CW line has two faults as of now, and that is the sights. It will be difficult for a little bit longer to find night sights for them, until someone decides to make them, and they come with one mag. Due to the slim lines of the Kahr, you sacrifice round capacity, therefore having to purchase another mag unlike the P and K series that comes with two mags. As far as the capacity issue goes, 99.9% of self defense shootings will be over in around 3 shots, one way or the other. If you find yourself needing more than 6 or 7 shots, then you either need to practice ALLOT more, are in the WRONG location, or should have a badge and uniform. I always carry an extra mag with me, just in case, but do not feel under gunned with any of my Kahr pistols on me, and carry my P9 covert (same gun as P9, but has the PM9's shorter grip) allot of the time. You will most likely be very happy with the CW40, just practice allot and get used to its recoil and trigger and you will be fine.
The CW series does not have dovetailed sights. Almost every company make night sights for the P series guns, I have XS and trijicon on my P series guns.
How are the sights afixed to the slide in the CW line?
They are pinned or screwed in. Don't know for sure, have not handled them. They are not dovetailed though, I know that.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX may open lower, focus on Greek bailout talks
November 26 (Reuters) - Canadian stocks looked set to open lower on Monday, tracking U.S. and European counterparts, with investors wary ahead of a meeting by euro zone finance ministers on debt-burdened Greece and U.S. negotiations over the "fiscal cliff" that could derail the world's biggest economy.
* Euro zone finance ministers and the International Monetary Fund will seek to unfreeze the second bailout package for Greece on Monday, but they first need to agree if some of the official loans to Athens might eventually be forgiven to cut Greek debt.
* Canadian private equity company Onex Corp said it will buy USI, a U.S. provider of insurance brokerage services, from GS Capital Partners for $2.3 billion.
* U.S. lawmakers have made little progress in the past 10 days toward a compromise to avoid the harsh tax increases and government spending cuts scheduled for Jan. 1, a senior Democratic senator said on Sunday.
* UBS was fined 30 million pounds by Britain's financial watchdog and put under extra scrutiny by its Swiss counterpart over failings that allowed a rogue trader to lose $2.3 billion. [ID: nL5E8MQ0J6]
* U.S. shoppers went to stores earlier this Thanksgiving weekend and bought online more than in years past, giving retailers like Wal-Mart Stores Inc and Macy's Inc a strong start to the holiday shopping season, data showed on Sunday.
* The U.S.-Israeli consortium including Noble Energy, Isramco Negev, Avner Oil Exploration and Delek Drillion, developing the Tamar natural gas field off Israel's Mediterranean coast said it had signed gas supply deals worth about $4 billion with units of conglomerate Israel Corp. Continued...

A Charter for Strengthening Relations Between Paid Staff and Volunteers:
Agreement between Volunteering England and the TUC
This Charter sets out the key principles on which volunteering is organised and how good relations between paid staff and volunteers are built. It has been developed jointly by
Volunteering England (VE) and the Trades Union Congress (TUC) and has been endorsed by the wider volunteering and trade union movements.
Its starting point is that volunteering plays an essential role in the economic and social fabric of the UK. It is estimated that some 22 million people volunteer each year, contributing around £23 billion to the economy. Volunteering helps build social capital and community cohesion and plays an important role in the delivery of key public services. Volunteering is also good for the volunteer: it helps improve health and wellbeing and provides opportunities for individuals to acquire skills and knowledge that can enhance career development or employment prospects.
This Charter demonstrates the value and importance that both organisations place on voluntary activity and the time, skills and commitment given by volunteers.
This Charter recognises that voluntary action and trade unionism share common values. Both are founded on the principles of mutuality and reciprocity, leading to positive changes in the workplace and community. The trade union movement itself is built on the involvement and engagement of volunteers.
Volunteering England and the TUC acknowledge that on the whole, relations between paid staff and volunteers are harmonious and mutually rewarding. They can, however, be enhanced by good procedures, clarity of respective roles, mutual trust and support. This
Charter sets out the key principles to help underpin good relations in the workplace.
These principles should be used as a guide by individual organisations to develop more detailed policies and procedures, which reflect local needs and circumstances. This should be done, wherever possible, between local union representatives, employers and volunteering managers.
Paid work is any activity that is undertaken at the direction of an employer and is financially compensable
Volunteering is freely undertaken and not for financial gain; it involves the commitment of time and energy for the benefit of society and the community.
Charter Principles
- All volunteering is undertaken by choice, and all individuals should have the right to volunteer, or indeed not to volunteer;
- While volunteers should not normally receive or expect financial rewards for their activities, they should receive reasonable out of pocket expenses;
- The involvement of volunteers should complement and supplement the work of paid staff, and should not be used to displace paid staff or undercut their pay and conditions of service;
- The added value of volunteers should be highlighted as part of commissioning or grantmaking process but their involvement should not be used to reduce contract costs;
- Effective structures should be put in place to support and develop volunteers and the activities they undertake, and these should be fully considered and costed when services are planned and developed;
- Volunteers and paid staff should be provided with opportunities to contribute to the development of volunteering policies and procedures;
- Volunteers, like paid staff, should be able to carry out their duties in safe, secure and healthy environments that are free from harassment, intimidation, bullying, violence and discrimination;
- All paid workers and volunteers should have access to appropriate training and development;
- There should be recognised machinery for the resolution of any problems between organisations and volunteers or between paid staff and volunteers;
- In the interests of harmonious relations between volunteers and paid staff, volunteers should not be used to undertake the work of paid staff during industrial disputes.
This Charter stands between Volunteering England and the TUC as a statement of principles and good practice. It is also a model for use by individual unions, volunteer involving organisations in the public, third and private sectors and other bodies in discussions around the use of volunteers.
Volunteering England and the TUC have produced some case studies, examples of local agreements and practical ideas to help trade unions and organisations. We have also set out some of the legal background relating to volunteering. These are available at www.tuc.org.uk/volunteering
Issued: 7 December, 2009

Rhinoplasty with nostril narrowing and hump reduction
Passion for Perfection= Beautiful Results - Scottsdale, AZ
Rhinoplasty with nostril narrowing and hump reduction
After visiting Dr. H for the first time, I knew he was the surgeon I wanted to use for a nose job. His kind personality and the time he takes to explain the procedure and answer questions far exceeded any doctor (and other plastic surgeons) I have ever visited. My parents were paying and were very particular so I went through alot of consults with different surgeons. He, by far, put the both us at ease the most. I am 3 months post-op and the results are better than I could have ever hoped for. My parents are super happy too. He far exceeded my expectations, natural but perfect. When I look for someone to provide a service for me or to learn something from someone, I look for someone who is passionate about what they do. Dr. H's passion translates into excellent results.

RAR is a general purpose archiving and compression program competing with/replacing programs such as PKZip, ARJ, and others. It offers significantly improved compression ratios, easier use and a cheaper price as well as supporting long file names, disk spanning, and self-extracting file creation.
You can also try RAR for Mac OS X, Linux, or FreeBSD.
- Fixed a crash and security vulnerability when unpacking corrupt RAR4 archives
- "Extract to a specified folder" command was missing in context menu in WinRAR file list when right clicking an archive
Reviewing 5.20 (Dec 19, 2014)
WinRAR has an option for file recovery records to protect against bit rot and transmission errors, unlike ZIP and 7z (7-zip) file formats.
Yes, a person can use MultiPAR to create PAR2 recovery files, but they aren't integrated into the archive file like RAR file format.
WinRAR works great. I purchased a licence over 10 years ago and it still works for the latest version of WinRAR.
Reviewing 5.11 Beta 1 (Aug 7, 2014)
Great app, fast, solid. I go through my phases where I switch between this and 7zip. 7zip is equally good, and not as ugly. Giving it 4 stars because of the hideous UI, but as far as pure functionality and resource consumption, it's among the best.
Reviewing 5.00 Beta 7 (Jul 15, 2013)
For me, five stars to the excellent winrar 5!
Reviewing 5.00 Beta 4 (Jun 3, 2013)
It's the same Winrar with new 'file format 5' and 'new recovery record' - secure and stable ever!
The best!
Reviewing 4.20 (Jul 20, 2012)
After deleted the most useful function "delete archive after extract" 1 star uptill we get back this fuct again

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by blueadams, Dec 24, 2012.
James, Kobe, Shaq.............
What I would do if I was GM - I would keep Drummond and open everyone else up for trades, that includes Knight and Monroe. I still like them but to get something you have to give something. Only guy that really has an honest chance of being a super star is Drummond. Everyone else can be good but we need to shake things up a bit, maybe even bring in a few young vets.
James for sure. Who can forget that championship-level defense?
Tough..... by the narrowest of margins I'd take Shaq over James, only because a dominate Big man with some college experience would have a slightly higher ceiling for me then a SF.
C: Drummond, Kaman, Kravtsov PF: Monroe, Jerebko SF: *FA*Josh Smith, Prince, Singler, Middleton SG: *1st*Ben McLemore, Stuckey, English PG: *BKTrade*Trey Burke, Billups I'd love to see it.
We'll never acquire Josh Smith as long as Tay is here. Tay is not going to come off the bench. I don't understand why people are still infatuated with Kaman. When he isn't injured, he's underperforming.
Agreed. Kaman is not a big enough upgrade to bother going after. He averages 60 games per season after multiple injuries and is 30 years old. He's a good player, but you'd think that he is in danger of dropping off in the next couple years.
I hate bringing up the past, but without unlucky pick of the draw or draft pick in 2003, we could have already had Kaman in his formative years....since we were originally slated for the sixth pick after the Otis Thorpe trade with the Grizzlies.
I think Dumars needs to move Monroe. I like the guy, and I think he's one that can help a championship team, but I think he's reached his ceiling and I think other teams will overpay for him. Sell high, as they say.
In a perfect world..........We trade Brandon Knight and Tayshaun Prince for draft picks and we walk out of the draft with Trey Burke, Otto Porter and Ben McClemore. Because Trey is generously listed as 6'0" tall he's getting NO love from the scouts, they list guys like Marcus Smart-6'4" from OK State and can't shoot a lick, and Michael Carter Williams-6'6" from Syracuse and can't shoot a lick either waaaay ahead of him.....nut they're nothing more than 2.0 Versions of Javaris Crittendon and Shaun Livingston. Other guys I'd be happy to get out of the draft: Shabazz Muhammed (SG/SF), Archie Goodwin (SG)....haven't seen the kid out of UNLV, Anthony Bennett (SF) yet, but I'll be watching him very closely when they play against the Tarheels this Saturday. In a perfect world.......we end up with 2 draft picks because we've traded Tayshaun and/or Brandon Knight to move up (or down in the draft) and we amnesty BoT. With a pile of cash who do we target? I'm leaning towards Paul Millsap. We're very competitive when Maxiel gives us Millsap-like production....so why not go and get Paul Millsap? Plus Millsap can come off the bench and give you great production and this year he's extended his range all the way out to the 3 pt line (albeit a very limited sample size, he's 12-26). I'm also looking at OJ Mayo this season, let's see if he can maintain his hot shooting as the season progresses. I don't see Josh Smith leaving Atlanta for Detroit, or leaving the Hawks to become a Piston. Perfect World Roster: PG: Trey Burke / Rodney Stuckey SG: OJ Mayo / Ben McLemore / Kym English SF: Otto Porter / Kyle Singler PF: Greg Monroe / Paul Millsap / Jonas C: Andre Drummond / Greg Monroe / TRG
Yeah but Greg Monroe is a Top 10 PF/C. I get just as frustrated with the guy as anybody else but he's still averaging 15 & 9. I have confidence that he'll get more confident in that jumpshot, and with Dre behind him he won't look as bad as he currently does on defense....I mean think about it.....Daye and BoT are even serviceable defenders when Dre is in the game.
I'm looking forward to seeing this become a reality. While GM isn't a paint protector, he does certain things well on D that may mesh with Drummond (similar to how they could mesh on offense with different skill sets). I remember the chain reaction that occurred when Charles Woodson was at Michigan. He'd guard the other team's best receiver with single coverage. That would allow a double on someone else or an extra rusher, which would allow a lightly blocked rusher to pressure the QB, which would cause an INT from a quickly thrown pass, etc. Everybody became a better defender because of him. With a big time shot blocker, our perimeter D should improve significantly as Knight, Singler, and Tay step out to use their length to bother jump shots. Monroe can gather the boards and be the intelligent help defender when Andre leaves his man to negate the blow-bys. This is backstop system is the reason that Tay was considered a strong defender in 2004-2006 and not so much anymore. Daye could be similar to Tay in that regard (great length, but too tall to keep guys in front without sagging off too far).
That team could probably make the playoffs.
More than any player moves Lawrence Frank has got to go. He is absolutely KILLING the Pistons this year.
OJ Mayo
Depth chart PF: Jason Maxiell, Chaz Villaneuva, Austin Daye, Jonas Jerebko That's the reason Monroe can't get more than spot minutes at PF.
Eh....but the league LOVES young players, so you could possibly do what Houston did and dangle some young players in a trade and possibly acquire a superstar.
I think we need to dangle our number 1 to Atlanta for there 2 first rounders.... Burke which seems to be the forums golden child (I'll admit I'm sipping the koolaid too) should fall to one of there picks and we can get another solid player with the 2nd pick. From the looks of it the top 10 is full of PF and C's so maybe they will bite.

Lilly was keeping watch on top of the RV at the beginning of episode 2. You probably thought Carley was the one keeping watch because she was the one who noticed the St. Johns. Which she was. Because Lilly sucks at her job.Sick Octopus;828933 said:I thought Carley did the bulk of the look-out duty, or am I pulling that from my ass?
I'd rather blame Lilly.

I wanted to write this post about 100 times over the past few months. I sat down to do it numerous times but could just never get it out. This week Ashley announced that her family was moving to Houston. I could relate to her post in a million different ways. I'll start at the beginning.
On Jack's 5th birthday we decided to go to the Palo Alto Creamery for dinner. We took 101 and got off on University Ave. I love driving down University. It's a looooooong street with huge homes and once you get closer to El Camino and the college it turns into ritzy shops. There was an open house and B and I joked we should buy the house. Guaranteed that home was no less than a million dollars. Pocket change, right? We both talked about what bullshit it was how expensive it is to live in the Bay Area.
The house we lived in before we moved sold for over $500,000. 2 houses up is a drug house and I would lay awake at night listening to gun shots. Oh and there was also a sex slave bust a few blocks away. My grandparents bought the house in 1960 when it was brand new. The neighborhood back then was Leave it to Beaver-ville. When I was in middle school, the gangs moved in and nothing was done and the neighborhood took a dive.
We talked more on the way home about what we were going to do. Where were we going to live? How would we be able to afford it? We couldn't afford daycare and Brannan didn't want me going back to waitressing.(I didn't want to go back either. Ain't nobody got time fo that!) B and I aren't the flashy type. We don't need fancy cars or big expensive cars. We live within our means. All we want is a good life for us and a safe, happy home for our boys.
We started talking about Texas. My Dad is from El Paso and my Mom has family down by Corpus Christi. Brannan's Mom lives in the Dallas are and his brother is out in east Texas. We looked at homes that night and were blown away. Mansions for $300,00! I couldn't believe it! The schools were all good to! We talked about it for the next couple of months. I prayed every night. Give me a sign, show me this is whats right for our family.
We never sat down and discussed the move. It was just kind of known that it was happening. Our friends weren't happy. How can you leave? California is so great! All your friends and family are here! Are you going to be a Cowboys/Rangers fan? (Bitch, please.) Were moving because we don't want to live in the ghetto and have our kids sell drugs. We want more from our lives than struggling and barely getting by.
The hardest part was leaving my brother. We've lived together since he was born. When we moved out it was together. Were really close, and knowing he wouldn't be upstairs anymore killed me.
My parents were thinking about moving as well. My Dad could not find work in California. Nobody would hire him. My parents put their house on the market and my dad left in April for Texas to start his new job. Brannan left a 3 days before me and the boys, he drove out the truck.
We had a going away party with B's childhood friends, Jacks friends from school had a party at the park for him, I had dinner with my girlfriends. I could not cry. I felt like such a heartless bitch. No one tear! What was the matter with me?! I cry at everything! And I could not get one tear out! Finally, 5 minuted before we left for the airport, I cried. And I couldn't stop. I cried on the car ride. I cried on the plane. It hit me that California was no longer my home. I cried that night and over the next week or so.
My sign to move didn't come until after we were here. Jack's school is amazing. Our neighbors are from Milpitas,B's hometown. People are so sweet and so kind. At least once a day I meet someone, or see something, or hear something, that lets me know in my heart this was the right choice for us.

So far the adjustment has been smooth. Ryan had a tough time in the beginning. He would be cranky and stay up way to late. Like 1am, bouncing off the walls. He's been sick twice. Now that were in our house, he has his own space, he has a routine. He's doing so much better.
This was probably the hardest and biggest decision I've ever made. I know this is what's best for our family. The school Jack goes to makes his old one look like a joke. In California they're cutting spending. Business' are closing. In Texas the school are so advanced. There's so many more tools for the kids to learn and business is booming. New school are being built, the teachers are so involved and excited to be at school.
I'm still getting the house together, hopefully next week I'll have a post about purchasing our first home. Thanks for reading, I know it was long. I hope ya'll have a hell great week! (see what I did there?)

EPIRBs - Who's comin'?
Poke around the COSPAS-SARSAT website and you will find nice diagrams of the system and an explanation of how it works. EPIRB goes off, satellites pick up the signal and relay it to "Mission Control Centers", "Rescue Coordination Centers", or "Search and Rescue Points of Contacts" who will arrange to have your soggy butt pulled from the drink.
That's all well and fine and good for those nestled in the motherly embrace of the USCG or similarly well-trained and equipped rescue armadas. We know it's them who're coming. But what about out there in the middle of the Deep Blue or off the coasts of some of the less enlightened bits on the political map? Who's going to come pick you up out there? A warship? A passing tanker? A couple of local saints in a fishing boat?
Thanks in advance!
It depends... in many cases a commercial ship will be diverted to effect rescue if they're the closest asset available. Some of the posters on this forum are USCG or other SAR personnel and can probably answer in greater detail.
Depends on where you're at out upon the briny. If you're near a shipping lane you'll probably be picked up by a merchant ship. And I mean a steamship shipping lane offshore. Which may not exactly be close to your sailing route even though you and the merchant ship may well have the same general destination. Warships and fishing vessels tend to be found more close to shore, the latter depending on the size of the continental shelf. And they tend to spend a lot of time in port as well so you're not as likely to see one or, rather, a fleet. Chances are it'll be a merchantman or a deep sea fisherman who answers your call.
Yep, I agree with Sway, depends on where you are. I know that in the Indian Ocean if you're more than 100 miles off-shore, your EPIRB has about the same value as tits on a rain barrel. There is no SAR of any description, there is precious little commercial shipping other than hugging the coast and the fishing vessels don't have radios switched on unless they need to use them.
I have sailed close enough to fishing boats off Sri Lanka and Indonesia to throw empty beer cans onto their decks and they still don't answer the radio.:)
The flipside of that is anywhere in the South Pacific or Australasia, the EPIRB is indispensible and will be reacted to in very quick order by NZ or Australia and the SAR that will follow will be a benchmark performance. NZ even today encourages owners of the older pre 406 units to continue using them if they can't afford the replacement and they are still reacted to.
But it is of considerable importance that the EPIRB is correctly registered with the correct authority, else the rescue efforts will be compromised.

I have a little german shepard mix (i think). She's about 25lbs, and maybe 3.5-4 months old. She was a runt, and trippled in size from when i got her about 6 weeks ago.
Her ears are huge compared to her head, but i think her head is small compared to her body. I think her body grew so fast that her head hasnt caught up yet, because it was ultra tiny when i got her.
Now here's the issue... her ears flop over funny. They both fall to the same side of her head, so it looks like a bad comb-over. Ive heard issues with crooked ears due to calcium deficencies, but she gets good holistic food and i dont think it's that. Is it just because her ears are so big compared to her head? Just curious what you guys think before she goes to the vet for shots and checkup. This is a new development, they were straight about a week ago. she can move them like a normal dog, and they can stand up straight or flop over to the sides/back. This crooked ear thing is just their default position.
Here's some pics, the first one shows how her ears sit.

Zareen Shaukat, 38, is the daughter of the founder of moonsighting.com, Khalid Shaukat and a resident of Montgomery County. She has been battling Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) and is in urgent need of a kidney transplant. Without a job, she has been denied insurance coverage due to pre-existing conditions. An ideal candidate for the new Health Care Act but according to her father, "there is no time to wait for Obamacare". Because of her age, she is not covered under her father's insurance and is need of a kidney transplant as soon as possible, for which the expenses exceed $270,000.
"Zareen is one of the most loving and positive people we know. She has done many things to help her community and country. Now she needs your support, She is in the final renal failure stage," says her father, Khalid Shaukat. She is a mobile interface designer and an alumnus of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
A soft-spoken man, known for his sherwanis and Jinnah cap, Shaukat set up moonsighting.com in 1993. The site is used by people around the world to track the visibility of the moon and its phases as calculated by Shaukat using 320 trigonometric terms.
The Islamic Center of Maryland (ICM) sent out notices on their listserv notifying the community: "ICM Administration recognizes the service Br. Khalid Shaukat has provided to the Muslim community, not only in the U.S. but all across the globe." Several online forums also spread his plea for help.

Entry List | Spectator Information
The 20th-ranked University of Michigan men's cross country team will travel to Michigan State for the Spartan Invitational on Friday (Sept. 14) at MSU's Forest Akers Golf Course in East Lansing, Mich. The men's race is slated for a 12:35 p.m. start, following the women's event at noon. The 8,000-meter race will serve as a trial run for the Big Ten Championships, which will be hosted by the Spartans on Oct. 28.
Michigan will be joined by 29 other teams, as well as several unattached athletes at the Spartan Invitational. The Big Ten Conference will also be represented by Michigan State and Ohio State. Michigan will be the only ranked program competing in the race.
Wolverines in Action
Eight Wolverines will compete for Michigan at the Spartan Invitational -- Trevor Denton, Scott Dvorak, Nathan Karr, Justin Krauss, Dallas North, Matt Popielarz, Jeff Sattler and James Yau.

Last Time on the Course -- The Wolverines kicked off the 2012 season hosting the annual Michigan Open on Aug. 31 at Hudson Mills Metro Park. Junior/sophomore James Yau (Troy, Mich./Troy) was Michigan's highest finisher in the 5,000-meter event, taking second place in a time of 16:02.
Career Debuts -- Four Wolverines made their collegiate career debuts at the Michigan Open on Aug. 31. Sophomore/freshmen Jeff Sattler (Byron Center, Mich./Byron Center), Scotty Albaugh (Waterford, Mich./Waterford Mott), Nick Posada (Winter Park, Fla./Winter Park) and Scott Dvorak (Westmont, Ill./Westmont) each redshirted last season and donned the Maize and Blue for the first time in the 5,000-meter race. Sattler was Michigan's second-highest finisher, crossing the line in fourth place with a time of 16:26.
Core of Retuners -- The 2012 Wolverine roster features 21 returners from last season, including five from the varsity squad. U-M returned all except two of its scorers from last year's team, including junior Mark Beams (Vicksburg, Mich./Vicksburg), senior/junior Brendon Blacklaws (Wellington, New Zealand/Wellington College), sophomore Mason Ferlic (St. Paul, Minn./Mounds Park Academy), senior Zach Ornelas (Cedar Park, Texas/Vista Ridge) and junior Morsi Rayyan (Dewitt, Mich./St. Johns). Blacklaws was Michigan third-highest finisher at last year's regional meet, earning All-Great Lakes Region honors.
Talented Newcomers -- The Wolverines have added seven new faces to this year's roster, including six freshmen and one transfer. Senior transfer Dan Lowry (Philadelphia, Pa./La Salle College) was an All-American a year ago for Brown University. Tony Smoragiewicz (Rapid City, S.D./Hamilton) highlights the group of freshmen expected to contribute. He was a two-time South Dakota state champion and won the bronze medal at the 2011 World Junior Triathlon Championships.
Calling the Shots -- Head coach Alex Gibby in in his third year at the helm of the men's cross country program. In 2011, Gibby guided Michigan to its best season in three years, which was highlighted by the team's first trip to the NCAA Championships since 2008. The Wolverines' 20th-place finish at the national meet came after taking third at the Great Lakes Regional and Big Ten Championships. In his inaugural campaign in 2010, Gibby's squad finished eighth at the conference meet, seventh at regionals and sent just one individual at the NCAA Championships.

In the Rear View Mirror -- Last season, Mighigan constructed its most successful season since 2008, improving its finish at each postseason meet. The Wolverines jumped five spots at the Big Ten Championships, finishing in a tie for third and moved up four positions at the Great Lakes Regional to third place. The Maize and Blue capped the season with a trip to the NCAA Championships for the first time since 2008, finishing 20th overall.
The Wolverines dropped one spot to No. 20 in the first regular season NCAA Division I cross country poll, released Tuesday (Sept. 11) by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). This year marks the first time Michigan has appeared in the top 30 during the first regular season poll since 2009 (No. 23). In 2011, U-M did not crack the top 30 until the third regular season poll, where they were ranked No. 28. U-M also continues to own the third spot in the Great Lakes Region poll.

The Phillips Library contains a fascinating collection of manuscripts documenting the musical activities and tastes of local people. In this collection we can see the development of local repertories as well as the changing styles in music and dance from the late eighteenth to the late nineteenth centuries. We can listen in on public and private musical entertainments.
The first European settlers in the Salem area sang hymns praising their God, in a choral style developed in Europe, using three or more "parts" – the familiar soprano, alto tenor, and bass voices commonly used today. They were soon developing this repertory, writing hymns that expressed their own beliefs and experiences. By the eighteenth century, New England boasted many composers, such as William Billings, whose hymns were reworked in the Shape Note style and republished in the collection now known as the Sacred Harp. During the eighteenth century, singing schools flourished as occasions for entertainment as well as improving the quality of church service music.
We also know from early explorers' accounts that dance music was an entertainment of ships' crews. A member of Martin Pring's 1603 expedition along the coast of New England so impressed local Native Americans with his gittern playing that they showered him with gifts. [Henry Burrage,. 1906. Early English and French Voyages, Chiefly from Hakluyt, 1534-1608. Original Narratives of Early American History, J. Jameson (Ed.). New York: Charles Scribner's Sons. p. 347]. Country Dancing, later named Contra Dancing, was a popular obsession in England, driving the publication of music collections by Playford and others from the seventeenth century. These dances consisted of "sets" of "figures" danced to jigs, reels, hornpipes, marches, and minuets. Eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Americans followed many of the dance trends in Europe, but also developed their own repertories. At a dance, the "caller" directed dancers with instructions such as "Partners balance and turn; ladies chain."
The musicians required to accompany dancing included fifes, flutes, fiddles, clarinets, and keyboard instruments; basically those still used in American Old Time music. Musicians jotted down tunes in music note books or on any scrap of paper. Many of these books were pocket sized, and also served for memoranda.
We can also learn about the instruments they played from fingering charts and other instructions in the manuscripts.Chamber music was a popular private entertainment for musicians: duets, trios, divertimenti, and sonatas with keyboard could accommodate whatever instruments were available. Most of the manuscripts do not specify instrumentation. The repertory draws from well-known composers in Europe such as Handel, Stamitz, Cherubini, and Weber.Learning to play the keyboard and sing was a requirement for admission to the best social circles in America, as it had been for courtiers and the developing middle classes in Europe. The manuscripts include note books of keyboard and singing lessons. They contain unaccompanied songs, which might have been performed with some accompaniment, and songs with fully realized keyboard accompaniments. The music notation itself gives clues about the refinement of the people who made it.
Changing musical tastes are especially apparent in the songs, which range in content from sentimental to political, and include transcriptions of traditional airs, popular music hall numbers, and opera airs. We also find songs and works for keyboard by local composers. The mid-nineteenth century fashion for singing "glees" is also well represented: these were vocal trios, quartets, and quintets from which the modern "Barbershop" style is descended.
Several of the manuscripts contain notations associating them with Harvard College, providing a glimpse of the social life its students enjoyed.

[USA-ENGLAND] Robert Green took responsibility for the goal that handed the USA the tying goal in its 1-1 tie with
England on Saturday, but the English press was not so kind.
"Hand of Clod" was the headline in the News of the World and Daily Mirror.
The London Times led with "Green Fingers," calling his error "One disastrous spill the Yanks won't complain about."
"It's obviously a horrible mistake, a terrible mistake," Green said. "I'll have to recover from it."
Green received the support of England coach Fabio Capello and its captain, Steven Gerrard.
"He made one mistake," said Capello, "but in the second half he made a good save. This is the problem of the goalkeeper."
Capello added that mistakes -- whether by a goalie, striker or referee -- were part of the game.
''Rob will learn from this," insisted Gerrard, "and he might make an important save that wins us a match. We're all behind him. It was a bit of shock and it took us a while to get over it."

The State Senate has approved sweeping changes to the "Rockefeller drug laws," as part of the state budget. Karen DeWitt reports from Albany.
REPORTER: The rollback of the strict drug laws on the books since the days of Governor Nelson Rockefeller in the 1970s was accomplished as part of state budget legislation. Senate sponsor Eric Schneiderman says the reforms fulfill a mandate of last fall's election for change.
SCHNEIDERMAN: We can do better than the mass incarceration of people who need treatment, not prison.
REPORTER: Republicans, including Senator Martin Golden of Brooklyn, argued against the measure for hours on the senate floor before the vote was taken.
GOLDEN: People will die. This is a terrible, terrible, terrible bill for our state.
REPORTER: Other GOP senators called the changes the drug-pushers' protection act and predicted a crime wave. In Albany, I'm Karen DeWitt.

Power System Voltage Stability (Electric Power Research Institute Power System Engineering)
Voltage stability is a major concern in the planning and operation of electric power systems. This book provides a clear, in-depth explanation of voltage stability, covering both transient and longer-term phenomena and presenting proven solutions to instability problems. The book describes equipment characteristics for transmission, generation, and distribution/load subsystems of a power system, together with methods for the modelling of equipment. Readers will find static and dynamic computer simulation examples for small equivalent power systems and for a very large power system, plus an account of voltage stability associated with HVDC links. They will also get helpful planning and operating guidelines, computer methods for power flow and dynamic simulation, and descriptions of actual voltage instability incidents.

whne firms in a price taker market are temporarily able to charge prices that exceed their production costs
additional firms will be attracted into the market until the price falss to the level of per-unit production costs
suppose a restraurant that is highly profitable during the summer months is unable to cover its local cost during the winter months. if it wants to max profits the restaurant shouold
continue to operate during hte winter months if it isable to cover its variable costs
the main difference between a firm that is a price search er and a firm that is a price taker is that a
price searcher will still be able to sell some of its product if it increases it prices
in a competitive price-taker market
many other sellers are offering a product that is essentially identical
in short-run equiliibrium, a competitive price-taker firm
may earn a profit or a loss
competitive price-taker firms respond to changing market conditions by varying their
the marginal revenue of a price taker is
equal to price
in general, firms will produce at a rate of outpout such that marginal revenue equials marginal cost becuase this output rate will
maximize the firms profit
suppose that price is below the minimum average total cost (ATC) but above the minimumn average variable cost(AVC)_ and that the market price is expected to rise at leasst to ATC in the near future. in the short run, a firm that is a price taker would
continue to produce a quantitiy such that marginal revenue equals marginal cost
if a firm is making zero economic profit, it
will be forced to shutdown and leve the market
compared to the outcome when the firms are price takers, competitive price-seracher markets will result in
a wider variety of products and higher prices
which of the following is the genertal distinction between price takers and price searchers
price takers confront a perfectly elastic demand curve; price searchers face a downward-sloping demand curve.
if a firm in a competitive price-searcher mareket raised its price it will
loose only some of its sales
which of the following would be most likely if firms in a competitive price-searcher market were earning economic profit
new firms would enter hte market, resulting in fewer sales by existing firms
a picture frame company operates in a competitive price-searcher market. its short-run equilibrium price is $80 and its ATC is $65. It sells 100 picture frames a week. from this we can conclude
economic profits are $1500
which of the following is true for firms that produce in markets where there are no barriers to entry
the firms will always make sero economic profits in the long run
when economic losses are present in a market, firms will tend to
exit from the market
in both price-taker and competitive price-searcher markets, short-run economic profits will lead to
the entry of additional firms into the market and the eventual restoration of zero long-run economicprofits.
in long-run equilibrium, output is expanded to the minimum long-run average total cost by
price takers but no by competitve price searchers.
in order for effective price discrimination to occur, a seller must
have at least two distinguishable groups of consumers
if a movie theater is going to gain by charging students a dollar less than the other customers
the demand of students must be more elastic than that of other customers

monopolly results in allocateive inefficiency
if government officials break a natural monopoly up into several smaller firms, then
the average costs of production will increase
which one of the following labor resources will likely have the most inelastic supply schedule in teh short run
as the price of a resouce descreases
producers are more willing and able to hire that resource
when the price of steel rises, ford use more aluminum inthe production of its cars. this is an example of
substituion in production
if a firm is suing a resource hired in a perfectly competitive market, and if the marginal resource cost is less than its marginal revenue product
more of the resource should be used
a profit-maximizing restaurant owner will hire more busboys to keep more tables clean and quickly available to new customers as long as the
marginal revenue product of busboys exceeds their wage rate
if the demand for computer scientists increases relative to their supply
a computer science major will be more attractive to college students
proved reserves of petrolem are
the verified quantity of petrolem that can be recovered at current prices and levels of technology.
if proved resources of a mineral amount to twelve years fo use at the current rate of consumption
if the good becomes more scarce relative to supply in the future, its price will riise and thereby encorage both convervation and exploration
"doomsday" predictions about the imminent depletion of one or more of our vital natural rewsources usually are
overstated because they disregard human responses to relative price changes
what hapens to a resource as it becomes scarcer
the price rises and this increases the future supply relative to demand

is both nonrival-in-consumption and nonexcludable
which of the follwing is an example of a public good
an effective antimisslie system that defends a country against a nuclear attack
a car sells at different prices at different dealerships in a local market. if a consumer has imperfect information about the price of a car at each dealership, he should
gather information about prices until the expected marginal benefit of more information equals the marginal cost of gathering it

in 2006, AARP spent over 70 million on lobbying-related expense in an attempt to get policies enacted that would benefit retirees. in economics, the term used to describe such activity is
rent seeking

I have been working on this image for a while, but finally I managed to get the look that I wanted.
The personal challenge I had set for myself was to make an illustration with only 2 colours.
Right now I am working on a series of images where I only use one colour, it is a really challenging task - but I think that all my illustrations will benefit from the exercise.
Just had a couple of mono coloured illustrations approved.
They are part of the personal challenge I have given myself, and I am really happy with them. I am having really good fun.
I hope they will be of good use for spring designs.
went crazy for a while and made this strange landscape, I don't know whether to describe it as a moon landscape with monsters or a stylised landscape with birds - but I had a lot of fun making it :)
This illustration was just approved today, I personally love the colour scheme - and the simplicity in the illustration.
Keeping my fingers crossed for good sales....:)
Did a search for commedia dell' arte, an ancient italian theatrical - you can read more about it , by the way it is still kept alive by great artists such as Dario Fo.
I had expected to get thousands of images of masks and performers, and the charachters harlequin, pantalone, brighella and so on...
But no.....my search resulted in 8 photos, wow I think I discovered a niche...:)
I immediately made an illustration with one of the charachters, and hopefully more will follow, since this one was approved.
I see monsters everywhere (and no they are not in my head...), cute puppets, figurines, mascots on webpages, designers use them everywhere, so I figured I would see if any of my monsters would sell here :). I love monsters, the cute ones, I have a whole collection of them and use them all the time for inspiration
WOW so happy! Just had my 21st download for this photo....
Shows that the designers are preparing for the BBQ season. Here in Denmark it is not exactly hot enough to sit outside and BBQ, but we are hastily moving there with a hot 10 degrees C today...

Here's my new composition! Spent a lot of time on it so I will appreciate your comments. Also because it's now more than one month since my first approval and I sold nothing yet. Maybe a problem with my tracks? Your advices are also welcome!
The song starts in a dark atmosphere and ends with a heroic part (short version). In the long version, I wanted to return in a dark ending atmosphere with the piano in case a possible purchaser require it.http://audiojungle.net/item/epic-intro/2910124
Thank you!
Hey! I'm a pretty new user too. I like your track, sounds good to me.
I think just write as many good tracks like this one as you can, and you will start getting sales.
Thank you for you reply I really appreciate!
Yes I'm doing two others good quality tracks and another funny one ^^. Maybe I also should upload tracks of different styles? I will try… Thank you again for your support!

air lines
1 Attachment(s)
I'm getting ready to run copper airline in my small garage. i drew a sketch of what i think would work to eliminate my moisture problem. i asked this already but i didnt have a picture. i want to be sure this will work cause copper is expensive and i only want to do this once. let me know what i need to change or add etc. thanks for the help in advance. Ivan
Re: air lines
Sorry my pix is upside down. It wouldn't let me flip it. I was told on the leaking part is that if its soldered well it won't leak. I'm not gonna use pvc because of all the horror stories about it. I don't want that happening in my garage. No offense I hope. My system is elaborate because we have 4 seasons here and moisture just pours out the exhaust of my tools. Thank for the input. Ivan.
Air Lines
The leaks we have experienced here were not in the solder joints, they were actually in the pipes! This is real problem on a two story house when it also ruins the ceiling of the first floor.
I would recommend two things you could do to minimize the moisture problem, first a water trap at the outlet of the compressor and a drain valve at the lowest point in your system. Hope this helps.
air lines
comming out of the compressor u should have a T that goes to a drop with bleeder then up to your main air lines. the drop is to drain and i'd do about 12" of a larger tubing.
air lines
So what you are saying is run a drop right off of my flex line with a petcock? I'm running1/2" line so maybe 1" for that drop then run it according to my drawing? Other than that does everything else look like it will work? Thanks for the input. Ivan.
air lines
air lines
I was thinking copper cause it easy to work with and I thought black pipe has a rust problem cause its not meant for moisture. My total run with drops is less that 40 ft. Do I need any more filters than what I have in my drawing? Sorry the picture is upside down. Btw I'm pretty new here and I really like this forum! Everyone is very knowledgeable and helpful! This is my first forum I've ever joined and I'm very impressed. Thanks. Ivan. :thumbup:
air lines
I really can't make out your drawing to see what you have for traps, on my compressor alone I have four water traps, One for the air lines, two for the hose when I paint, and one for my sand blasting cabinet, I also have another one right at the sand blaster, it might be overkill but I don't get any water. I also l run the air out and take the drain plug out about once a month or every six weeks. Never get much water but it is just a habit I have. My tank holds about 175 pounds of pressure, so you have to make sure you drain it first.
Black pipe is not only cheaper, it is specifically used for air line piping because the thermal mass of the iron cools the air, causing any moisture to condense out before the air gets to your tools or spray gun. Your drawing looks a lot like the one that TP Tools has on the web:
Note that they also recommend black pipe, not copper.
air lines
Thanks for the good info. My picture is upside down. I have my filter teed off the last drop going to the hose reel. Is that enough? I'm not running anything else but air tools at the moment. I'm gonna go check on the black pipe tonight. Pipe dope or sealant tape?. Thanks. Ivan.
air lines
thanks everyone for the great ideas and opinions. I'll see if i can make it happen. I'll try to take some pictures and post them. Ivan.
Personally I prefer Copper for the cooling but with 40' Black iron will work probably just as good, hardly much practical difference anyway as far as cooling. While black iron could rust inside I have never seen that to be a problem and I have seen a lot of black iron used, I think it is more imaginary than fact, it seems like it would, maybe, so it does right? :) The fact is you are going to have to filter the air anyway so small amounts of debris forming in the lines will be filtered, probably any significant rust that will form will be in the traps where water might stand for a while and rust there is no problem.
air lines
i think im gonna go with black iron pipe and put filters on my three drops. do i need a drop right off the flex line? do i want to use pipe dope or sealant tape for the joints? Ivan
