52100 and salt pots
son of liberty
I need a start point, dose someone have a recipe? If you would explain all the steps from fresh bar to temper in high temp , low temp pots?
I guess my question is...how much experience do you have working with 52100? Unless you,re well versed with that steel, I would recommend starting with only using the high temp salts, dialed in at 1550F. No soak, then temper in the conventional manner. That will establish a baseline for you, and you can experiment from there. I personally do not use low temp salts unless I am seeking to "Marquench".
52100 is not a steel to use unless you are intimately familiar with less critical steels (such as 5160). 52100 has some unique forging characteristics, and in my opinion a forged blade including all the heating/cooling cycles associated, creates a far superior blade of 52100 than a stock removal blade without those associated heating/cooling cycles.
son of liberty
Im not as familiar as i would like to be..lol. Can I temper in the low temp salts rather then a kiln?
I have been reading allot about how the salt pots can be used to marquench and wanted to give it a try. It dose sound like i should stick with what i know though and work out from there. Branching in to other possibilities with the pots as i become more familiar with the steel and pots.
I forge most of my blades but dont have much time with 52100 under the hammer, its been very particular so far. The 5160 seems to be a better steel to play with on the anvil anyway but I have a bunch of 52100 bar, I guess ill save it and get some other steels to play with that are less difficult to play with.
Im in proses of serious upgrades that I hope will help me refine my processes even more, Temperature controlled forge, salt pots , and a few other little things that I hope will give me more control and consistency.

52100 is a wierd steel. It retains carbides mixed in with the austinite until you get up to really hot temps. I start forging at a pretty bright orange and stop before it looses color. What you could do is austemper the blades at about 500 degrees for an hour in low temperature salts to form bainite. That should put you somewhere around an HRC of 58. If you want to get it a little harder you could quench in oil or another salt pot at about 475 for a few seconds and then immediately up quench it at 500 degrees.

Kevin R. Cashen
I do all of my tempering in low temp salts, the thermal conduction is many times faster than an oven and the heat is completely uniform. I do most of my "walking in tempers" to determine my desired HRC for 30 minutes, which would be impossible with any type of oven, and then my long soaks. After studying 52100 inside and out, most only guess from the outside, I am convinced that most of the fantastic performance gains many makers have gotten from it with oddball heat treatments is a matter of contrast and elation at overcoming all the issues that you can get with that steel if you are not very careful. I have often joked that 52100 scares me that there could be some element in it that burns out and gets into a smiths brain because it seems that whenever I hear of some of the strangest and convoluted heat treating practices 52100 is most often involved somehow.
But joking aside 52100 is just steel but like all modern steels it has its own unique chemistry and heat treating parameters based on its application. It was designed and meant for bearings, so not only do you have to realize its unique heat treating requirements, but you need to adjust what industry gives you to make a cutting tool out of it, not so for something like say O-1 which was designed for may cutting and slitting type applications. For bearings compressive strength is very important and abrasion resistance is a close second, heat treating for such deals with retained austenite a little differently than what we do and 52100, for a simple steel, is very prone to retained austenite. As Ed mentioned the heating cycles in forging can disperse and refine the carbides (not the magic hammer mind you, but the heat cycles). Avoiding slow cools from above critical, such as many of the traditional bladesmithing anneals is essential. When heating the book will tell you 1550F, but that is under the assumption that you are making bearings and will have different approaches for dealing with retained austenite. If you keep your austenitizing temp below 1500F you can expect to reach as much as 67 HRC as you reduce the amount of RA.
Good post Kevin! I had thought about mentioning heating it below critical, but thought I would muddy the waters if I did. Now that you brought it up, I can blame it on you! :) Just kidding.
When I use the salt tank to heat treat 52100, I run it through at 1450F for a 5-6 min soak. Spectrographs have shown that Kevin is 100% dead on about the RA.
son of liberty
So I need to avoid annealing or other delayed cooling methods?
Forge starting at a high heat and keep reducing the heat with every heating to help refine the grain?
then normalize? at what temp?
Then run it through the salt pot at 1450 for 5-6 minutes before quenching?
Im trying like crazy to wrap my head around kevins knowledge but its hard for me, im a back woods KY redneck. I am reading constantly so I am making an effort to learn , its just slow and difficult.
So in theory, could I grind out a 52100 blade and then run it through a series of heats in the salt pot to refine the grain, then normalize in the salt pot?
Again thank you guys very much for all the effort you put in to answering my questions, i know its not an easy thing to constantly do topped by several people constantly asking the same questions.
Kevin R. Cashen
Why all the concern about grain refinement, have you had an issue or problem from the forging process with large grains? Just forge your blade using the logical steps of going hot when forging thick stuff and working cooler when working the thin stuff. Normalize three or so times to fix the uneven issues from forging and then spheroidize or subcritical anneal. Don't get caught up in the grain size mania you will read too much about in the magazines by guys more concerned about making the finest grain than they are about making knives. Fine grain is indeed nice, and fortunately steel has a lot of built in mechanisms to keep it in a reasonable size range so long as we stay out of its way with our actions, and careful normalizing can do wonders.
Doug Lester
To go along with what Kevin said, I don't get all that caught up in forging heats except for working ranges for a particular steel which I usually find out from people who have experience working with it. I normalize three times just before quenching. I've broken probably more than my share of blades straightening or testing the edge and all of them have had very fine grain. Some of the alloys will inhibit the growth of grain.
Doug Lester
Kevin R. Cashen
... Some of the alloys will inhibit the growth of grain.
Doug Lester
Perspective can really contrast this, work with homemade bloomery steel for a while and you will get a whole new appreciation for the grain size retention of modern steel. That old stuff had nothing but iron carbide and the skill of the smith to control grain size and both are a pretty fine line.
son of liberty
Thank you guys , I think that what I needed to hear. I was drinking the kool aid so to speak. I have a tendency to read so much that I start second guessing and loosing my mind about my process.
Doug Lester
Don't feel bad. I was just fortunant enough to run across a discussion on grain growth and correction on another board when I was starting out and the advice there stuck. There are plenty of people who think that you have to avoid grain growth at almost all costs like it cannot be corrected. Where you do have to watch the heat a bit is when you are normalizing before quenching. If you get your heat too high for too long you will defeat your efforts at to decrease grain size. As stated above, some steels are worse on grain growth than others and some need to be austinized a bit hotter for a bit longer to get carbides to go back into solution so that the carbon from them can disolve into the austinite. It all depends on the alloy that you're using. But trying to figure it out is just about enough to make your head spin. That's where people like Kevin and Howard are indispensible.
Doug Lester
I wanna throw one in here...
not to hijack, but from what I am reading, the idea of forging from a much larger bar doesnt do much, its the thermal cycling of the steel that gives the results we are all looking for?
I "think" that is what i am reading...

Thanks to all who replied and after talking to mathematica support
here is a complete answer....
The PostScript generated by Mathematica is actually an abbreviated
form. In order for it to be usable in an outside program, some
info must be attached to the file that defines some commands such as
the ones that the PostScript rendering program is complaining about.
There are programs and shell scripts for Unix (psfix) and Windows
(rasterps.exe) that allow you to adapt these files automatically.
The psfix shell script should be on your installation disks/cd but
is intended primarily for Unix machines, which usually have the
shell (sh) or its GNU workalike the Bourne Again Shell (bash).
Under Windows, the job can be done with a DOS excutable called
RASTERPS.EXE. The executable is available free of charge from
The download page has links to the executable as well as a brief
text document which describes how the program works.
An example of its usage is available on Technical Support FAQ pages:

Mathematicas' "Postscript" is not a portable or standard postscript. I
have never been able to get any other program besides mathematica to
read its "postscript" either.

I really wanna kick into videohive as i am good at Cinema 4D. But i really need to know somethings like what i have to include in the files, etc. Please help! I'd buy a project from here but i don't have that much money now in my account.
please give us more detail.I was confusing sorry.
ok…so here is the thing:
I wanna be a part of videohive, and i wanna start it by selling Cinema 4d templates. I'm good at Cinema 4d and i believe i can make some awesome files. But the thing that confuses me is what should i include in the main download and how should i make the item? will i first make the video in C4D , then edit it in after effects, and include both the source files? or just include the C4D one cause its Cinema 4D template?
is there any tutorial where i can learn how i can make files for cinema 4d template in here?
Have a look at this….http://videohive.net/item/black-gloss-logo/140863
All the user guide files and user guide video are open and linked in the description. You can see how I set mine up without having to buy the file.

Thanks!!! Btw, i was inspired to make items for videohive by seeing your latest file..
In some of your items, there is mostly 3D works..how does it work? do you make the 3d in cinema 4d and use them as background?
P.S Is there any way i can chat with you? I really wanna be serious about videohive.
Hi Dark,
I don't do one on one tech support. Sorry.
There's a tight link up in my files between the C4D file and the AE file, using overwriteable black tiff sequences as the bridge. The joy of those is that they zip down to almost zero K.
The user just has to overwrite the black tif seq and hey presto! it appears in AE.

WOOSTER -- Flo K. Gault, 86, of Wooster, passed away peacefully at home on Tuesday, April 16, 2013, surrounded by her loving family. Her faith, courage, and grace were an inspiration to all who knew her.
Flo was born in Canal Fulton on Feb. 11, 1927, to Charles Randall Kurtz and Flocia Mary Filliez Kurtz, and was the eldest of their three children. She was a 1948 graduate of The College of Wooster, earning a bachelor of arts degree in English. While attending The College of Wooster, Flo met her future husband, Stanley C. Gault. She became a secondary school English teacher prior to having children and embarking on a fulfilling journey in support of her husband's career. Together they lived in Brecksville, Louisville, Ky., Wheaton, Ill., and New Canaan, Ct., before moving to Wooster in 1979.
A lifelong learner, Flo returned to The College of Wooster in 1987 to complete an Independent Study project which had been an optional graduation requirement in 1948. Her paper was entitled: "The Wesleyan Influence on Two 19th Century Authors" and required an oral defense. Until her final days, Flo continued to research three of her favorite authors: John Wesley, William Wordsworth, and George Eliot. She was an avid student of the Bible, and a lifetime member of the United Methodist Church.
Flo served as a trustee for the Methodist Theological School in Ohio and the East Ohio Conference of the United Methodist Church, and was later named a trustee emerita of both organizations. She was a board member for the Mental Health and Recovery Board of Wayne and Holmes Counties, the Village Network Corporation, and the Wayne Center for the Arts. She belonged to the Friends of Boys' Village, The Monday Club, the Women's Advisory Board for The College the Wooster, and was a faithful member of Wooster United Methodist Church. Flo cherished her membership in the P.E.O. Sisterhood, most recently a member of Chapter DF in Wooster. She was celebrating 50 years as a P.E.O. after initiation into Chapter E in Louisville, Ky., in 1963.
Together with her husband, Flo initiated, sponsored and participated in many projects and programs that have benefitted organizations and individuals in the Wooster community and beyond. She was a full partner in the plans and decisions involving these numerous undertakings.
In addition to her parents, Flo was preceded in death by a brother, James T. Kurtz; and a sister, Mary L. Fahrney.
Surviving are her husband of 63 years, Stanley C. Gault; sons, Stephen C. Gault of Louisville, Ky., and Christopher C. Gault (Cynthia) of San Jose, Costa Rica; a daughter, Jennifer G. Marsh (Charles) of Louisville, Ky.; grandchildren, Andrew C. Gault, Lacey A. Gault, Joseph S. Gault, Daniel M. Gault, Elizabeth B. Marsh, and Ellen G. Marsh; along with nine nephews and one niece.
The family extends their deep gratitude to the dedicated and compassionate staff from Wooster Community Hospital Home Health Services who provided excellent nursing care to Flo in her home during recent months, and to the health care professionals at Hospice & Palliative Care of Greater Wayne County for the assistance they provided.
Friends will be received Sunday, April 21, from 4-7 p.m. at McIntire, Bradham & Sleek Funeral Home, 216 E. Larwill St., Wooster.
Memorial services will be Monday, April 22 at 10:30 a.m. at Wooster United Methodist Church, 243 N. Market St., with the Rev. Dr. David Wilcox officiating. Interment will be in Wooster Cemetery.
Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice & Palliative Care of Greater Wayne County, 2525 Back Orrville Road, Wooster 44691.
With my fond memories of a kind, gracious woman. My prayers include dear Mr. Gault, Steve, Chris, Jenny and the entire clan. A favorite hymn's lyrics below:
Each life that touches ours for good
Reflects thine own great mercy, Lord;
Thou sendest blessings from above
Thru words and deeds of those who love.
What greater gift dost thou bestow,
What greater goodness can we know
Than Christlike friends, whose gentle ways
Strengthen our faith, enrich our days.
When such a friend from us departs,
We hold forever in our hearts
A sweet and hallowed memory,
Bringing us nearer, Lord, to thee.
For worthy friends whose lives proclaim
Devotion to the Saviors name,
Who bless our days with peace and love,
We praise thy goodness, Lord, above.
With love,
Ian McGregor and family
Our love and thoughts join with so many others in gratitude for Flo and in our prayers for Stan and family. Anne (Liz's mom) & Jack V.

- - LED anchor light (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/gear-maintenance/69457-led-anchor-light.html)
LED anchor light
I'm considering changing out my incandescent masthead anchor light for an LED unit, however I'm wondering if it's worth the effort of going up the mast and trying to remove old and install at the very tippy top. Anyone else switched to an LED anchor light? Do you notice a difference in energey use?
We've been anchoring out most nights during summer (didn't even get a slip this past summer!) and have sometimes used our anchor light, but more often than not I hoist an LED lantern light on my flag line because I'm too freaked out about running a battery down overnight. Maybe I naively overestimate the power consumption of one small incandescent anchor light lit for 10 hours. Maybe I don't need to switch it out for an LED?
you will probably need to go up the mast twice--once to take out the incandescant bulb, and once to install an led replacement bulb.
Depending on the size of the current bulb, you will probably save 5 to 10 amp-hours per night, which adds up.
I was under the impression that I'd have to change the whole setup...including the actual socket. They make LED bulbs that can be slipped into an incandescent socket?
I had a 20W anchor light so for me it was a HUGE savings in Ah. Personally I prefer a complete unit such as those from Hella or Aquasignal as they will likely be more reliable than the Dr. LED bulbs have been.
My old anchor light drew 1.74 amps or 17.4 Ah's over night
My current anchor light draws .11 amps or 1.1 Ah's over the same time period.
That is 94% less consumption!!!
marinebeam.com has a wide range of replacement bulbs for almost any socket. I used their bulb in an aquasignal fixture. The old incandenscent bulb was only 5 watts, but could still be seen from 2 miles. The new led is much brighter, and only draws about 1.5 watts or 0.12 amps.
Just read a post in Sail Magazine 'To the Editor' from a guy who changed out most his boat to LED. He took a lightning strike and lost every LED on board. The incandescent lights, including the spreader lights, were undamaged. He is questioning his decision to change to LED.
I bought a hurricane lantern at REI for $36 that holds three 9-hour candles. While at anchor I light one of the candles and hoist it to provide the required 360 degree illumination. It provides plenty of light, is easily seen, does not blow out, and I save the battery. Replacement candles come in a 3-pack for $2.
I replaced my old unit with an Orca Green anchor/tricolor/strobe. It has a photo diode so you do not have to remember to turn it off. On two different boats it has worked perfectly for 5 yrs and while it cost $300 it is well worth it to not have to go up and change bulbs.
Incandescent bulbs CAN also fry but the bottom line is that I have insurance and everything was replaced including the LED bulbs.
Using that reasoning don't buy anything electronic. Heck I even had stuff not plugged in that got zapped!:)
"The incandescent lights, including the spreader lights, were undamaged. "
LEDs are solid state devices and as such way easier to blow out. And from what little I can confirm, many of the LED "replacement" bulbs on the market have no surge protection, which is critical for a long life expectancy.
But even an incandescent bulb will blow out after running at 20VDC for a short while, and lightning can go way beyond that. It could be the LEDs were more susceptible to damage, or the stroke took a different path. Either way there's no question that good LEDs are way pricey--and, use much less power.
As Maine says...Only his LEDs were hit? Not all the electronics on the boat?
I switched to an LED with one simple trip up the mast using a bulb that matched my dual bayonet style incandescent and my LED uses one tenth the amperage of the former bulb. Be mindful to check the function of the LED when you insert it. Since the "D" in LED stands for diode, you would be aware that the current can only flow in one direction; therfore, you may need to remove the bulb and insert it at 180 degrees for it to function. Take care and joy, Aythya crew

Novelist Banks "stunned" by fan support over terminal cancer
By Li-mei Hoang
LONDON (Reuters) - Scottish author Iain Banks, who announced this month he was suffering from terminal cancer, said he was "stunned" by the messages of support he has received from his fans.
The "Wasp Factory" author said he was deeply flattered and touched by all the responses left on the website Banksophilia, which was set up by his friend Martin Belk.
"Good grief! - what an outpouring of love, affection and respect. I honestly had no idea," he wrote.
"Discovering the sheer extent and depth of the feelings people have expressed on the message board over the past two weeks has been truly astounding," he added.
Banks, 59, said his problems came to light after a visit to his doctor about a sore back. Tests revealed he was not only suffering from jaundice but also cancer in his gall bladder.
He announced his illness on his website on April 3, before he canceled all future public engagements.
The author, who also writes science fiction under the name of Iain M Banks, said that as a late-stage gall bladder cancer patient he is only expected to live for a few months.
Banks has returned to Britain after a short honeymoon with his wife Adele in Paris and Venice to continue working on his new book "The Quarry." Continued...

Good job in your find. Just one warning, I have heard that with some icing, the flavor or smell may transfer to your honey. But it is still all good. 8-)
Nope, the girl just love pickles.............. and pickle juice.....and pickle flavored whatever.... and more pickles
I don't know about others, for me it's difficult to get away from plastic, my refrigerator is plastic, the freezers plastic, the vehicle is plastic, in the grocery store a lot of items are in plastic, everywhere I turn some form of plastic is there, glaring. I have some stainless steel items, I can say it has a shelf life too, also save glass containers that are reusable for personal use. I thinks it's more about doing the best one can do with means to do it until it an upgrade is possible.
I think thats the cheapest I have ever seen a new 5 gallon bucket at that price its not worth cleaning out one from a bakery and having bad tasting honey.

Remote start how to: In depth.
I've been installing car alarms for over a decade now. I have learned a lot and have come a long way. I will be showing you guys how I install a remote start alarm. I have a stick shift, and I will be doing the install in a way that keeps it safe by never allowing it to start when it is in gear. I DO NOT know everything about alarms and car audio! I have made many mistakes and on occassion still need advice from some of my fellow installers. I have a lot of experience, and I have attended a ton of classes from DEI. I have a bachelors in EE and have been doing car audio/video since 1994 and security since 2000. I most likely won't be going over where every single wire gets connected, unless you guys request it. The method I will be showing you guys is pretty common in the high end level of car audio and security. It is not your budget minded install. There will be no crimping and NO T TAPPING! All connections will be soldered and the main goal of the install is to make it as OEM as possible. This is not the only way to do a remote start. IMO it is one of the best ways. I will gladly take constructive criticism. I will be starting with all the accessories and peripherals; LED, glass break sensor, siren, impact sensor, etc.. I do run my own business and have very little free time so it will take a week or so for the complete installation. Tonight I did my LED, so we can start with that how to and I will continue the thread as the project moves along. Any questions feel free to ask.

Scanning LED custom install
I'm not to sure how to post the pics and vid so please bare with me. Pic#1. Here is the unit out of the box.
Pic#2. This is the led after it has been taking out of the case/housing. Pic#3 This is the drive side trim piece that covers the shaft of the rearview mirror mount. Notice all the small center punch indentations. I made those with a hooked pick tool. Pic#4 This is the outside of the trim piece after I have drilled the pilot holes. Use a very small drill bit so that you can try to stay on center. Pic#5 After going through a series of bits, I ended with a 13/64 bit. Pic#6 The leds are now installed and can be seen through the holes. Pic#7 This is the back side of the trim with the led circuit board installed. Pic#8 I have now mounted the trim piece and led on the shaft. It takes a bit of finessing, since the led circuit board has to sit inside a gap thats in the shaft, while at the same time trying to have the trim piece wrap around the front side of the shaft. Pic#9 Here you can see the led wires running through the rear view mirror boot and into the headliner. Pic#10 The final assembly of the led and rear view mirror mount trim piece.
If you guys can help, I want to be able to put the captions and descriptions right above each pic like I've seen in the other DIY. I searched the site but was not able to find out how to do this. Thanks for your patience.

You can wire up the led either way. You can make the red lead contant or switched, but it has to be 12v +. The black lead is negative (ground), and can be the wire that switches the LED on. You can choose which way to wire it, depending on where you are tapping into. On most aftermarket alarms there is a wire that supplies a ground signal when the alarm is armed, and it is aptly named "ground when armed wire". Since you want the LED to light up when you ARM the alarm, then it would make perfect sense to tie the ground lead of the led to that wire. If there was a wire that was "positive 12v when armed" then you would wire up the led just the oposite. The reason your led lit up for a few seconds was because where you tapped it into only gave an intermittent pulse, not a constant power supply. If you have any issues or any questions, feel free to ask.

So I got the unit all wired up and running. All I have left to do is make the neutral safety switch ( so the car will only start when in neutral) and once that is done I will post pics of the switch install and a video of the alarm in action. All I did in these last pics was clean up the wiring a little so that I could remount the general module/alarm compartment back up on the lock in tabs. I wired up all my relays and mounted them right behind the factory relays. I had to cut away some of that foam material that sits high up under the dash so that I had room for the relays to fit. I used 5 in all; fog lights, trunk release, windows comfort close, windows comfort open, and clutch bypass. The starter kill has a relay as well, but since it's a default one, I don't count it. If any of you guys decide to tackle this install and you need help, just pm me. I can pretty much walk you through any alarm. Thanks for the positive comments.

Remote start or alarm or both? Aren't they completely separate features?

Neat. Just ordered the part and will try. Doesn't seem that difficult

It is a remote start/alarm. I am going to be installing an autopage C3-RS915. It is a fully functioning alarm with a remote start feature. I will be updating the next installment tomorrow or Tuesday.

More peripherals
Today I installed my siren, valet switch, and tachometer sensing wire.
I use Directwire wiring diagrams to install my alarms. The e46 can be done commando, in the sense that you can test for all the wires that you need to tap into, but a wiring diagram makes it's a lot easier and faster. With newer cars having pretty much all of the functions controlled by canbus, mux, ibus, etc... a wiring diagram and databus module is virtually a must.
First I tapped into the tachometer wire at the diagnostic plug. It is the black wire (the only one). This is showing the diagnostic plug in the passenger side engine compartment. For vehicles that do not have this plug (01-05) the black tachometer wire can be found at the OBD data link connector under the driver side dash. According to Directwire it is pin #9
For this first connection I will go through it step by step to show how all connections throughout the install should be done.
The siren and tachometer wire are connected/mounted inside the engine compartment, and the alarm sits inside the vehicle. As such, we must find a way to route the wires from the engine compartment to the cabin. Most times you can find a factory spare rubber grommet somewhere along the firewall, or you can run your wires right along with the main factory boot. Other times you have to drill/make your own hole, make sure to install a grommet when you do. Lucky for us, the e46 has a couple of spare nipples in the main boot, and these are the ones we will be using for our install.
An interior view of the boot/nipples.
You can cut the tip of these nipples to run your wire. I on the other hand have a nifty little tool that allows me to run wire through rubber boots while keeping it intact.
Here is a view of the tool inserted into the boot/nipple from the engine bay compartment side.
Now lets make our tachometer connection. First we will strip the wire. Don't cut it, just strip away the insulation. You can do it will a razor blade, or with some side strippers like these.
Now stripped

After the wire has been stripped, take the wire that you will be attaching to it, and wrap it around the wire in a manner that keeps it flat and straight
A trigger style soldering iron works best. It gets hot/cold really fast. Heat up the wire, then feed the solder.
All soldered up
I like to use 2 types of electrical tape. The yellow one is the expensive, ($4 a roll) nice and pliable tape. We use this to tape up our solder points. The white one is .46 cents a roll and is used to wrap up our wire to match the factory looming.
You only need a tiny amount of tape to wrap of the solder points.
All wrapped up
Now wrap up the rest of the wire with the inexpensive tape to match the factory loom. Some vehicles us actual loom, and some use electrical tape, the e46 uses electrical tape to wrap up their wire harnesses, so we will do the same to match and try to look OEM. Lets run the wire through the boot/nipple.
A view from the inside.
Now on to the siren. Like I said, I only did a step by step for the first connection, all others will be made in the same fashion.
We will be using the other nipple to run our siren twin lead inside the cabin.
Next is the impact sensor. It is a plug and play unit, not soldering required. I don't really rely on these to much, but I still like to use them. When mounting them, make sure to mount them to a wiring harness or something that flexes. For some reason these guys don't work that well when they are mounted to a solid surface. I have been told this by many DEI reps/techs, and have confirmed it myself. Here I mounted mine on the main wiring harness right behind the fuse panel.
Lastly the valet switch. You can mount this little sucker wherever you can fit it. It used to be that you needed to make it as stealth as possible and hide the sh@t out of it. But nowadays you can program the valet switch to have a pin number. So even if a would be thief had your key (Not remote!) and found your valet switch, without the pin, they cannot put the alarm in valet mode. I put mine next to my lighter.
Ideally you don't want to mount the main unit of the remote start/alarm under the steering column, but at times you don't have much choice without a lot of extra effort. Luckily the e46 has some great little compartments right behind the glove, and right next to the general module. This is where I will be mounting my alarm. So I ran all my wires to that area.
So this is as far as I got today. I will be at it again tomorrow.

Why does nobody here ever use shrink wrap on their wiring projects? Not only does it look clean but it even adds extra strength to the solder joint. It also never gets sticky residue all over it. Maybe, since you are an experienced auto electrician, you can explain hte benefits of tape over shrink wrap.
Registered User
I do use heat shrink tubing on new non factory connections. What I mean by new non factory wire connections is this; When I spliced into the tachometer wire, this was a "factory wire connection" I stripped the insulation, and then wrapped my wire around it to solder it. In order for me to put heat shrink tubing around that, I would first have to cut it, slide the heat shrink on it, and then solder it. My siren however, was a new non factory wire connection. The wires were never intact, so cutting the wire was never an issue. I could slide the heat shrink tubing on before I soldered, and then seal it up. Now, there is nothing wrong with cutting most of the factory wiring so that you could slide heat shrink tubing on it. It takes an extra 2 steps that total an extra 5 minutes tops per connection. There are no real benefits electrically. I do prefer heat shrink tubing for 3 reasons: it is cleaner looking, is a much tighter fit, and it doesn't get sticky after time. I usually use heat shrink tubing when I'm using loom around my wiring. Since this specific installation calls for electrical tape as my loom, i decided to forgo the heat shrink tubing. But in general and IMO, heat shrink tubing is a better route.

So today I got the glass break sensor and remote antenna in. I also installed the led that came with the alarm, but i only did that for programming confirmations and such, not for arm/disarm confirmation. When you program the tachometer sensing wire, the original led lights up solid, letting you know that you succesfully programmed the tach wire. And when you go into valet mode the original led lights up. If it were not for these two functions I would not install the alarms original led. So i try to mount it in an inconspicous location so as not to be seen.
The audio sensor that I use is the DEI 506t
When it comes to additional sensors, you have many choices. I prefer DEI and autopage sensors, but you can use most any brand. You can use a motion sensor, a field disturbance sensor, audio sensor, multiple impact sensors, etc... It all comes down to your needs and personal preference. I have used them all many times with different outcomes. I tend to stay away from field distrubance sensors, they are notorious for being very finicky. They will work great when it's warm outside and the pots are set at a certain level, but then the temp drops and they are ridicolously sensitive ( a fart sets them off). But if you have a convertible and like to leave the top down, then it might be your best bet. The motion sensors work well, I have had much success with those. The problem with them is that they work when someone is in the vehicle.... so how did they get in??! (If you like to leave your windows down when your car is parked, then a motion sensor is a good choice) That is why I personally go with impact and audio sensors. All quality Alarms are tied to the door triggers. So If someone smashes your window and opens the door, the alarm is triggered. Well, thieves are hip to this, so what they do is break a window and crawl inside. If they take a bat to the window an impact sensor will trigger the alarm. However, if they use the porcelain from a spark plug, they can break the window with hardly any noise/movement at all. That is where the audio sensor comes in. It detects high freq sounds, so any impact to the windows will make noise and trigger the system. I am going to emphasize this point: This is my opinion and my take on the several sensors that you can incorporate in your security system. You should use whatever you think works best for your set up and personal preference.
You can mount the sensor pretty much any where you like. But a more central location makes its sensitivity to sound more well balanced. So I chose to mount it in the factory motion sensor housing.
I like to use a unibit to drill these types of holes. The final size hole is a 1/2 inch. Now that it's inserted into the housing, lets get it back up on the headliner.
Here it is back on the headliner. Once I dye my headliner black, you won't really be able to see it.
Now the mic portion of the audio sensor comes hardwired with a male rca plug. I cut the rca plug off so that running the cable through the headliner and into the B pillar would be easier. Although, you can probably run the cable intact. I like to use a long and flat zip/wire tie to fish my wires through panels and such. [IMG][/IMG]
Here is the wire fished through with our $5 dollar fishing tool.
Now that I have to replace the rca plug on the wire we have some soldering to do. This one is for you WDE46, heat shrink tubing!! Like I said, I do use it for non factory splicing connections.
This is what I like to use to heat up my tubing. Notice the attachment on the tip of the torch. This makes it so only heat, and not a flame, come out of the torch.
By this point you should have your B pillar plastic trim removed, as well as the rocker panel cover, and kick panel cover. We want to run our wires along side of the factory wiring. Remember, we are going for a stealth and fully OEM look. Run the wire all the way to the fuse panel/alarm compartment area.
Next is the antenna. It is crucial you mount it somewhere visible.This particular model alarm, and many others, use SST (spread spectrum technology) So they get really good range, typically 2500 + ft. You can mount this guy next to the A pillars (driver or passenger side) I like to put it in the center of the windshield. [IMG][/IMG]
We are going to fish our custom led cable and antenna cable through the headling towards the passenger side A pillar so we can head down towards the fuse panel.
Again, we want to run our cables right with the factory wires.
Notice how you can't even see any aftermarket cables/wires.
Once you got them down by the dash, you can route them along with this factory harness down to the fuse panel using our handy fishing tool.
So thats all for todays show. Tune in tomorrow for more updates.

Started the main unit wiring
So today I got the brake wire, clutch bypass wire, transponder bypass, trunk pin, and fog lights wired up.
Before you begin, you want to make sure you have one of these tools so that you can test the wires that you will be tapping into.
The majority of our wiring will be done by the fuse panel at the general module and main wiring harness. However, some of our wiring has to be done under the steering column. So get all the necessary panels removed so we can access that area and lets get to work.
Here we have the brake pedal switch and clutch neutral safety switch. We need to tap into the 12 v + brake wire. The reason is so that the car will shut down when the brake pedal is depressed and there is no key in the ignition. That way someone cant just get in your vehicle and drive off while it's remote started. It is the brown/white wire in the cener of the brake pedal switch. Test it with your meter or probe just to verify it gives you 12 v + when the brake pedal is pressed. Once you have confirmed that you have the correct wire, solder your connection. Next is the clutch neutral safety switch bypass. (if your car is an automatic, you skip this step...obviously) The vehicle will not crank unless the clutch pedal is depressed. And as such we must simulate the pedal being depressed in order for us to successfully remote start the vehicle. There are 4 ways that a neutral safety switch works, that I know of. 1. It completes the circuit. 2. It breaks the circuit. 3. It provides a positive signal. 4. It provides a negative signal. Our e46 uses method number 3. It provides a positive signal. So again we use our probe/meter and test the wires at the plug to see which one gives us a + signal when the pedal is depressed. And the winner is blue/black. Solder your connection and lets move on.
Next is our trunk pin wire. This triggers the alarm if your trunk is opened. This wire is located in the drivers kick panel, it is white/brown. It rests at 12 v+ and goes to ground when the trunk is open. Locate the wire and verify it's operation, then solder your wire.
Next we will be installing our transponder bypass. If you have decided to take on this project, you should know by now that the e46 has a rf transponder ring aroung the ignition switch and a pellet in the key programmed with the proper signal. In order to remote start the vehicle, we have to send this signal to the transponder receiver unit. In order to do that we use this guy here.
This is the unit that requires a programmed spare key sit inside of it. So it is crucial that you hide the f@ck out of this module. Newer cars use modules that do not require the spare key method. You program your signal to the module and that is that. I searched and searched for a new module or method to bypass the transponder in our vehicle, but I came up empty. It has been about 4 years since I last used one of these, so I was hoping something new had come up, but no luck. So lets get started.
First remove the bottom plastic cover of the steering column.
Registered User
[IMG][/IMG]Typically we would use the ring from the 556u to send our signal to the ignition switch. [IMG][/IMG]
However, the factory transponder ring is made and mounted in such a manner that using the aftermarket transponder ring is not really feasible.
In order for the ring from the 556uw to work properly, it MUST be mounted in FRONT of the factory transponder ring. NOT on top or behind. Well, the way this is set up makes that virtually impossible.All that black housing is the factory transponder ring. So as you can see, we have no room or spot to mount the aftermarket ring. [IMG][/IMG]
Lucky for us, the 556uw has more than one wiring method. Read the instructions, and they will walk you through it, but basically you cut the factory wire from the transponder ring and wire up the harness from the aftermarket transponder ring in such a manner as to make a loop from within the module box with the key in it.
Here are the finished connections.
Now all taped up and hidden.
Now that we have made our connections, it is time to run them to the passenger side of the vehicle. Remember, keep them hidden and ran along side factory harnesses.
Once you get the wires over by the center console/back of radio area, you will want to run them through the back of the console. There is the factory main wiring harness that runs throught there, just fish your wires through there. It is a little tricky, but there is enough room.
typically this is something you would most likely see if you ever inspected an average alarm installation. Thieves go straight for the steering column to disable alarms.
This is what we see in our installation.
Looks completely OEM, as if it was never tampered with.
For the most part, alarms are tied into the vehicles parking lights. That is done for visual confirmation of arm/disarm. Also, they flash or stay lit when the vehicle is remote started. The parking light circuit in the e46 is run by a multiplex wire (mux) so we can't just tap into it. There is a method for successfully tapping into this circuit, but I still stay away from it. Here is the reason. Whenever you turn on your parking lights, the autolevel feature of the headlights activates. Well, everytime you arm/disarm and remote start the vehicle, the parking lights flash. To me, that seems like a lot of unecessary abuse of the autolevel function. Here is where you would tap into the parking lights.
I prefer to tap into the fog lights. They work better for entry and exit illumination, and they don't activate the autolevel feature when turned on. We can't run it through the lighting module at the headlight switch, since that wire is mux as well. So we find the factory relay that they are powered off of and tap into them there. The relay is above the general module, right by the fuse panel. We drop our general module and alarm compartments down to access the relay.
Remove the relay and relay socket and we want to tap the yellow/brown wires in the back (pin #87 from the relay).
In order to drop this panel, you must remove this plastic bolt. The hinges are just pressure fit so you can pull the panel down.
So that is all for today. Hopefully tomorrow I will finish this bad boy up.

The Great Utility Bill Swindle
Average UK direct debit customer £125 in credit
Given the obstreperous tone of letters from the UK's utility companies should you owe them more than around £2.50, direct debit customers may be surprised to learn that they are on average £125 in credit on their gas and electricity bills - 20 per cent of the annual mean spend.
So claims Energyhelpline.com, an "independent price comparison service", which adds that this outrage affects 15 million electricity consumers and 11 million gas users who automatically pay a fixed amount every month.
The total bounty to the utility companies is £1.7bn - largely due to the discrepancy between payments and consumption between less energy-hungry June and September.
There is, however, some electric light at the end of the gas pipe: you can ask for the difference to be refunded at any time and Energyhelpline.com reckons that the best way to find out if you're in credit is to swap suppliers. You can then adjust your monthly payments to more adequately reflect your consumption - plus recoup your overpayment at the same time.
Whether this is delivered in hard cash, enormous canisters of gas or thousands of AAA batteries is not noted. ®

Six properties sold Saturday, on the final day of an auction of real estate seized from Eric V. Bartoli by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, brought the three-day sale total to just over $5.1 million.
Along with the proceeds of an equipment auction last fall, seized cash and other assets, the total recovered is almost $7.5 million of the $70 million to $80 million Bartoli is alleged to have swindled from hundreds of investors in Northeast Ohio and as far away as South America.
Some properties were auctioned in parcels and then together and sold for the higher price. The top price on Saturday as well as for the entire auction was $1,230,000 for a 170-acre farm on Smithville-Western Road, Wooster, where the auction was held.
For a total of $745,130, a 104.7-acre farm and buildings on North Elyria Road, Wooster, sold for the second highest price of all the properties.
Of that total, $290,000 was bid by Mitch Ladrich of Doylestown for a 13-acre parcel with a restored house on it. "I don't know what I'm going to do with the property," he said, "I bought it for the house."
Ladrich said he plans to move there, noting the selling point for him was the woodwork in the home. Bartoli was known in the area for the exquisite woodwork in all the homes he restored.
Maggie and Ronald McGrainor of Hudson purchased six of the remaining eight parcels which made up the North Elyria Road farm. Maggie McGrainor said they were looking for open land in an area where there might be future growth.
Ronald McGrainor said they are looking years down the road and Maggie McGrainor said eventually they might even move to the area.
With a bid of $416,000, Nancy and James Kemp were the successful bidders for the former Miller Farm, 82 acres with a waterfront log home, two small lakes and assorted buildings on Elyria Road, West Salem.
The Kemps are semi-retired dairy farmers who live nearby. James Kemp said they had originally sold Bartoli the North Elyria Road farm where the McGrainors and Ladrich purchased their properties.
As for the Miller farm, Kemp said, they aren't sure what they will do with the house. "It has a beautiful setting," he said. But he already has plans for the land and buildings. He'll be using it as a heifer grazing farm.
Three parcels of cropland in Ashland County also were sold. A plot of 86 acres brought in $184,900; 100 acres brought in $215,000; and 186 acres brought in $419,850.
The property sale total for Saturday was some $3.2 million, which brought the three-day total past the $5 million mark. "That was my goal," Canton auctioneer Peter Kiko said.
"It went as good as I expected it to go," he said, "We had a couple little surprises but we worked through it."
The three days wore him out, Kiko said, but the hardest part was preparing for the sale without being able to talk to Bartoli, the previous owner. That made it necessary to do research on all the properties, he said.
The real estate was sold on behalf of the court by court-appointed receiver Michael I. Goldberg. Kiko said Goldberg and his staff are extremely organized and that helped make the sale go well.
Hitting the $5 million mark makes the three-day sale a record for the firm, Kiko said. The totals were $1,130,000 Thursday, $737,183 Friday and $3,210,880 Saturday, plus $59,009 for smaller items sold Thursday and Saturday, which brings the grand total to $5,137,072.
Although the crowd, at approximately 500 to 600 people, was a little smaller than anticipated, two food concessionaires appeared to be doing a good business.
Lisa George of Minerva, owner of KaeDee's, said business was "pretty good." Tim Leopold, who owns DeeDee's Concessions, Canton, with his wife Diane, agreed business was steady.
Leopold said he had his stand at the auction of Bartoli farm equipment at the same farm last November. Recalling that rainy day, he said the weather was a lot better Saturday but the crowd was smaller.
The November auction raised some $835,000 and profits from it and the property sales will be used to help repay investors in part for money they lost in a fraudulent investment firm, Cyprus Funds Inc., which was operated by Bartoli and several other business associates.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has estimated investors may have been bilked out of between $70 million and $80 million. Bartoli faces a civil trial in Miami in December for a number of security laws violations.

"Name one new modern subdivision. I'll bet you can't." That was the challenge from our cover guy, Rodney Friedman, FAIA, a former leader among cutting-edge merchant-housing designers. At the time, when put on the spot, I couldn't think of one either. After a few days pondering and consulting with my colleagues, we came up with a couple: Aqua, just north of Miami Beach in Florida, and Prospect New Town, 30 minutes from downtown Denver, in Longmont, Colo. Just a couple out of the thousands of new subdivisions sprawling across the country--and only Prospect is building single-family homes. To see them, boot up and go to www.aqua.net and www.prospectnewtown.com.
Interviewing Friedman, who trained with William Wurster at the University of California, Berkeley, and was a teaching assistant for Charles Eames, reignited my nostalgia for Mid-Century Modern and even '70s "Contemporary." Friedman's anger at the Dark Ages that followed those years of innovation and creativity rubbed off on me. Why has experimentation in single-family housing design been restricted to wealthy patrons of custom architecture? Every new merchant-built detached house is swathed in a bygone style. No developers, with the exception of Kiki Wallace at Prospect and Craig Robins at Aqua (with the guidance of planners Duany Plater-Zyberk), have had the guts to put modern design on the outside of their houses. I have nothing against historicist styles if they're done well, but they shouldn't be the only choice out there. Friedman gave up and carved out a new career doing campus housing.
He's also designing loft apartments in downtown San Francisco. His adaptive reuse of the Oriental Warehouse building into live/work units won an Honor Award from AIA San Francisco. It's lovely, edgy, forward-thinking work. The units sold out. And here's where my glimmer of hope lies. I think if Friedman, who's 69, is willing to keep on working for at least another five years, he'll draw some modern--with a lowercase "m"--houses again. After all, those 30-something loft buyers in San Francisco--and every other major city in the country--are going to want a house some day. For them, the suburban pseudo-Colonial just won't do.
This market knows something about design. Many people credit the plethora of architecture magazines in the '50s for broadening public taste and knowledge of architecture. We have a similar bounty of shelter magazines nowadays (although somehow, fewer professional architecture journals). Home design books by residential architects such as Sarah Susanka and Dennis Wedlick also are selling well; home shows are all over cable television. And new contemporary furniture stores are ready to fill those sleek lofts with something interesting and appropriate.
We're whetting an appetite that we won't be able to satisfy with new single-family homes. A friend of mine, newly married and expecting a baby, moved out of her urban condo and into a '60s split-level in the suburbs. That's as close to modern as she can find right now. It's great for the remodeling market, but it's a blow to the new-home market. Builders and developers are Rip Van Winkles; they've been asleep for 20 years, and they'd better wake up.

Growing Incivility in the Workplace
In a recent Washington Post commentary, Christine Porath, associate professor at Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business, wrote about the growing prevalence of rudeness at work, and this is costing businesses money. Porath and Christine Pearson, professor of global leadership at the Thunderbird School of Management, have been studying the impact of bad behavior on the workplace for 15 years.
"Workplace incivilities push employees over the edge," wrote Porath. "One-fourth of employees we polled across industries in 1998 said they were treated rudely by fellow employees at least once a week. By 2005, that number had risen to nearly half."
Christine Porath's article can be found here.

First C.A.B.L.E. Class Announced
The first C.A.B.L.E. (Communication and Business Leadership Experience) class was announced recently, with 12 Business or Communication majors and minors. The program is replacing the Communication Leaders program, expanding to include and incorporate Business students and professors.
The students participating in the program next year are (in alphabetical order): Tyson Agler, Elizabeth Brake, Julia Devine, Regina Gasser, McKenzie Hopkins, Lindsay Janmey, Nicolette Lyons, Kathleen Murphy, Francine Murzynski, Matthew Pfouts, Chloe Tippman, and Kelcie Webster.
The primary difference between C.A.B.L.E. and Comm Leaders is that C.A.B.L.E. will run through the calendar year, starting in January of 2013 and ending in December of 2013. This will encourage students to participate in a summer internship prior to the start of their senior year.
"I'm most excited about the truly interdisciplinary nature of where we are going," said Dr. Matthew Smith, Professor of Communication and Co-Director of the C.A.B.L.E. program with Dr. Wendy Gradwohl, Associate Professor of Business. "I'm eager to learn from Dr. Gradwohl's and the Business majors' perspectives."
There may be some difficulties experienced throughout the first year of the C.A.B.L.E. program as both Comm Leaders and C.A.B.L.E. will run simultaneously next semester.
"Frankly, the finances may find themselves strained as we try to run two versions of the program simultaneously and build a bridge from one model of running the program to the next," said Smith. "We've designed a program to live within its means and saved just enough from various additional contributions over the years to make this transitional period work in theory. The whole program is based on generous donor support for which we are so grateful."
The Communication Leaders will introduce the new C.A.B.L.E. members as well as present on their fall project at a presentation scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 6 at 4:30 p.m. in Shouvlin 105. All are welcome to attend.

HRI Lodging, LLC (HRIL) will install Aptech's Targetvue, Execuvue®, and Profitvue® systems for its 17 hotels. HRIL selected Aptech's systems to simplify property reporting, data collection, and budgeting/forecasting for its expanding portfolio. Aptech is the leading provider of hospitality software for business intelligence, budgeting and forecasting, and enterprise financial accounting. Aptech will host HRIL's systems from its secure data center in Pittsburgh, PA. Implementation is expected in 2Q '14.
In mid-2013, 11-property HRIL expanded via a joint venture with MetWest Terra Hospitality to operate 6 additional hotels. MetWest had its own financial systems, as did HRI prior to the joint venture. HRIL found that combining processes and updating its existing systems would be costly. Aptech was selected because it has extensive experience with growing multi-property, multi-PMS operations.
Aptech will automate all HRIL's financial processes and reporting. Aptech will also provide a mobile-ready dashboard so HRIL can remotely oversee performance for all properties. Baer said HRIL will take advantage of Execuvue's pre-configured 'jump-start' report packages for faster goal achievement.
Targetvue is a hospitality-driven budgeting and forecasting solution that is fully integrated with its Profitvue accounting and Execuvue business intelligence systems. Targetvue eliminates the need to correct and recombine multiple spreadsheets for consolidating and reporting. Execuvue is a reliable IBM Cognos-based ASP enterprise hospitality business intelligence application that enables faster goal achievement for large and small hotel companies. Profitvue is a widely used thin-client, Internet-enabled enterprise back office solution that handles single or multi-property and multi-company accounting. Profitvue incorporates accounts payable, general ledger, statistics, and financials.

Haley Barbour and the Culture of Death
By Michael Collins
"After issuing just eight pardons in his first seven years, Barbour pardoned 208 convicts, 41 of them murderers, sex offenders or child molesters, during his last 48 hours in office." Time Jan 13
It's a big day for murderers in Mississippi, sex offenders and child molesters too! Just before leaving office, Republican Governor Haley Barbour pardoned 208 convicts in a stunning act of candor and honesty in behalf of the party and system he has served so well. (Image)
Tired of the same old script featuring religious values and law and order year in and year out by politicians you just know are lying? Your search for honesty is over. Haley Barbour is the poster boy for the culture of death that pervades the political leadership.
Why would Barbour do such a thing? In his own words, he told us: "I have no question in my mind that these men have repented, have been redeemed, have come back hard working to prepare themselves to go out into the world…" CNN Jan 13
Go out in the world and do what? Murder, maim, commit sexual assaults against children and adults?
Barbour's confidence is not comforting to the victims and their families in Mississippi. There are challenges underway to reverse this last minute spree of criminal generosity.
Does Barbour have plans to leave the country? Does he care about the blame he will shoulder if any one of these two hundred violent offenders ends up back in jail for a violent crime? Does he even care about the outcome of his break with reality?
Who Pardoned These Crimes?
George W. Bush initiated an invasion and occupation of Iraq based on a complete lie. There was one key finding in the National Intelligence Estimate used by Bush to justify a preemptive invasion. Iraq was only likely to attack the United States if there were signs of an imminent US attack or for revenge for such an attack.
Over four thousand US soldiers lost their lives. Over a million Iraqi civilians were murdered in civil strife due to the chaos created as a result of the invasion. This was all based on a deliberate lie by Bush and his national security team. Vincent Bugliosi outlined the murder case against Bush in his book (and legal brief), The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder.
Who pardoned Bush?
President William J. Clinton initiated a total blockade of Iraq during his administration. In addition, he ordered daily bombing runs that hit Baghdad and other population centers. A study from Columbia University showed that a quarter million children under five died due to malnutrition and disease that would not have occurred were it not for the total embargo.
Who pardoned Clinton?
President Barack Obama continued the Iraq War for nearly four years after assuming office. In addition to responsibility for the loss of life during that time, Obama organized and funded a NATO attack on Libya that devastated the country (a nation posing no threat to the US). NATO demolished entire cities, destroyed vital water projects, and did nothing to stop the ethnic cleansing of a town of 30,000 black non-Arab Libyans. The Libya intervention was to create a no fly zone. Instead it turned into an attack on the very people it claimed to protect.
Who pardoned Obama?
Who even tried to indict these violent offenders?
Haley Barbour's pardons have created a sense of terror among those in Mississippi who fear the acts of the criminals let loose by the former governor.
The lack of action against the three presidents listed represents a de facto pardon for the death and injury they've caused by what they like to call foreign policy.
The culture of death that forgives violent crimes on a small or large scale is a threat to us all.
Who are these people?
Where do they derive the right to commit, enable, and condone violence against others?
