Family Tree Maker 2009 Released
Posted by
The Generations Network
just announced the release of Family Tree Maker 2009. It's largely version 2008 with all its patches plus improved functionality, but it does have some new features.
Those include charts and reports, such as hourglass, bowtie (shown below), 180-degree fan and others (in case you're wondering, there's no need to be signed up with Ancestry Publishing to generate these reports).
Automatic backups and more-powerful global data manipulation are other updates.
See the full list of new features
Several patches are planned for Family Tree Maker 2009 that'll add book-building, better integration with the subscription data service
, an improved relationship calculator and more.
Senior product manager Michelle Pfister says planning these patches will let TGN stick to a regular schedule of new releases (which retail distributors require) while putting final touches on what's covered in the patches. It also lets Family Tree Maker fans look forward to more features throughout the year.
Are there Family Tree Maker fans left after the
problems many users had with version 2008
? Yes, say Pfister and the software's development manager Mark LeMonnier. More than 300 users beta tested version 2009—an increase over version 2008 testers—and you can expect better functionality as a result, says LeMonnier. "Performance and stability have been our main focus," he adds.
The 2009 version will read Family Tree Maker files back to version 4 (which takes you to the mid-1990s). To learn more about it, see
If you purchased Family Tree Maker 2008, don't buy version 2009—registered 2008 users are eligible to upgrade for free. If that's you, during early to mid-September, you'll receive an e-mail with instructions and a coupon code good for 2009 in the Ancestry store.
The offer will be available for a limited time, but Pfister says there'll be follow-up e-mails, so if you just ordered 2008, you still have time to register the software and be eligible for the free upgrade.
Get more information on the free upgrade offer on

Introducing the New FamilyTreeMagazine.com
Posted by
We got ourselves a new Web site! The brand-spanking-new
launched just a few minutes ago.
Our new setup looks nicer
it's more user-friendly. The improved navigation makes it easy to find the content you want: You can browse the article archives by topic, or search the entire site from any page.
Each article offers buttons to bookmark the page, share it via e-mail or social networking sites, and generate a printer-friendly version. You can even subscribe to your favorite topics via RSS.
Our new home page will highlight more of what's inside the site, including blog feeds and links to the most recently posted articles.
Even with all those features, what we're most excited about is the technology behind this new site—it'll be much easier for us to put more great articles online.
If you were comfortable with the quirks of our old site (not unlike a cozy old recliner with a footrest you have to prop up using a two-by-four), these tips might help you get to know (and love, we hope) the new one:
To stop the screens in the top middle of the home page from changing, click on any of the four tabs (Welcome, State Guides, Best Web Sites, Expert Advice) to land on that screen.
Click the Welcome tab for a link to an article with detailed information on the new site.
You can increase the text size through your Web browser. In Internet Explorer, go to Page menu>Text Size. In Firefox, look under the View menu.
You can browse our how-to articles by hovering over a category name in the orange navigation bar, then clicking on one of the blue topics that appear in the white space below it. Then, to see all the articles for that topic, click the "See all" link in the upper right.
If you click one of the category names in the orange navigation bar, you can click "Subscribe to this topic's RSS feed" to get an e-mail whenever we add an article to that category.
To see the Ethnic Toolkits from our old site, click on Heritage in the orange bar, then select from the blue list of ethnic backgrounds. You also can subscribe to an RSS feed for each of these ethnicities.
Find the list of 2008 101 Best Web Sites under Research Toolkit.
We invite you to take a look around the new site (even we keep finding stuff we didn't know we had online). Got feedback? You can add it here (click Comments blow), post in our

Ancestry.de Subscription Price Drops
Posted by Grace
German genealogy blog
Abenteuer Ahnenforschung pointed out today
that the price of
's basic membership has been lowered to 9.95 euros a year—about $14.65. (For comparison's sake,
's US-only membership package costs $155.40 a year.)
If your family history research focuses on Germany—and you've got a good grasp on the language—this is a total steal. The records available to Ancestry.de subscribers (as well as Ancestry.com users with a World Deluxe Membership) include German city directories from 1797-1945 containing 32 million names, and soon 100 years of Deutsche Telekom phone books with an estimated 70 million names.

High-Tech Scanning Reveals More of Scrolls
Posted by
Bring up online documents and genealogists usually think of death certificates and census schedules.
But in as little as two years, you'll be able to examine the 2,000-year-old Dead Sea Scrolls on the Web. And thanks to cutting-edge digitization technology involving infrared cameras and super-high resolution, you'll see more text than previously was visible to the naked eye.
This initiative may pave the way for more-revealing scanning of all those genealogical documents.

Olympian Phelps Joins Ellis Island Fundraising Campaign
Posted by
Olympic swimming phenom Michael Phelps is the newest member of the
We Are Ellis Island
campaign, which is raising funds to restore the South Side of Ellis Island.
On the campaign Web site, you can
watch a promotional video featuring Phelps
(hard to recognize with facial scruff and a few inches of hair) and others.
Phelps' ancestors immigrated through Ellis Island. A campaign spokesperson told me she doesn't yet have full details on their names and immigration dates, since Phelps signed on and shot the video just before leaving for Beijing.
Ellis Island's well-known
immigration museum
opened in 1990 on its North Side. The largely abandoned South Side was home to a state-of-the-art hospital where sick immigrants were treated—and sometimes ordered to return home.
Look for the November 2008

article on
Forgotten Ellis Island
, a documentary and book about the hospital, and the patients and staff who spent part of their lives there.

"Today" Traces Hosts' Roots
Posted by
If you want your genealogy researched for free but your past is too checkered to run for political office, there's always the "Today" show host chair.
The show is again airing a series on tracing its hosts' roots. Today we saw snippets of
Meredith Vieira's family history
in Portugal's Azores islands. On a genealogist's dream journey, Vieira visited the islands and found ancestors' birth records, discovered family homes, met cousins and joined in the
Festa do Espirito Santo
(Festival of the Holy Spirit). You may get jealous, but
watch the video
all the same—it was inspiring.
At the end of the segment, Vieira thanks several people, including our own contributing editor Maureen A. Taylor, who did genealogical research for the "Today" producers.
Readers who share Vieira's Portuguese ancestry—or have roots in neighboring Spain—can get research help in the June 2004

Ancestry.com, JewishGen Team Up
Posted by
The subscription genealogy site
and the Jewish roots site
have formed an alliance that'll make JewishGen historical record databases available free on Ancestry.com.
Those databases include names of Holocaust victims,
(memorial) books about Jewish communities destroyed during the Holocaust, the Given Names Database, and a ShtetlSeeker (helps you locate towns in Eastern and Central Europe).
You can search each database now on JewishGen
, but by the end of this year, you'll be able to go to Ancestry.com and search all the databases at once with a more-sophisticated search engine.
The JewishGen Web site also will be hosted in Ancestry.com's data center.

Jewish Roots in The Caribbean

In a neat article on CNN this morning, reporter Steve Kastenbaum writes about
exploring his Jewish roots on a trip to the Caribbean
His grandfather moved there from Germany during the 1920s; his relatives were among the more than 15,000 Jews living in Cuba during the 1940s and 1950s.

First make sure your friend lives in a state that allows machine guns. Next make sure he has 15-20K in cash as most tranactions are 100% up front to buy.
Can you guys help me with a pretty simple quesiton. I have a friend looking to purchase and MP5 to shoot for fun and invest. Its really more for fun but it sounds better when you call it an investment. Just trying to help him decide which model and where to buy from.
Whats the best quality MP5 out there? Whats the difference between a pushpin lower? Where would you buy one from?
First make sure your friend lives in a state that allows machine guns. Next make sure he has 15-20K in cash as most tranactions are 100% up front to buy.

CA 89 converted to SBR
There are four general groups of NFA (aka full auto / select fire) conversion:
Most common is a sear gun, where the HK94 had the barrel shortened and a tri lug added (or better yet the barrel was changed to an HK MP5 barrel), typically the receiver is remarked with MP5, a paddle mag release added and everything is refinished (i.e. repainted). The full auto conversion sear is in the trigger pack and allows the gun to shoot semi or full with the addition of a full auto bolt. The big positive to the sear guns is once the MP5 is papered as a short barreled rifle, you can take the sear pack out and put in any HK 90 series, thus making a MP5K-PDW (SP89 host), HK53 (MP5 size 223), various full size .223 and 308s, now including belt guns. If you get a good sear guns with a re-timed hammer, nice finish, HK barrel etc. makes a great MP5 and is near the factor, however, the trigger pack still is a clip on and not a push pin (most smiths do glue a few ends and heads of the push pins into the trigger housing, just to make it look correct).
Similar to the sear gun is the registered trigger pack. Has positives changing parts (in most cases) a is a little more limited in exact configuration.
Next there are registered receivers where the gun is more or less a sear gun but the sear it's self was never papered and can not be now. Would stay way from these unless you get a great price ... again not along the lines of this discussion.
Lastly there are a few registered receivers hat have swing down lowers (only allowed for a limited time, thus much more rare than sear guns) and can use factory parts. These if you NEVER wish any other HK, are the closest to factory if done (or reworked) correctly.
Check out the World of HK for more details.

If he only wants one machine gun, and he wants it to be an MP5 style, it can be done for $13,000-$14,000. Get a MKE pistol HK94 or SP89. Then get a used full auto carrier from Rim Country or an HK one. Get a registered sear in a pack. Marry the Sear pack to the gun. Knock out the FA carrier block. Install all the parts and have fun.
In this scenario you can never really remove the sear pack from that gun. They are married together forever, or until you are willing to divorce them and destroy the gun.
Sear: $11,000-$12,000
Carrier: $200-$400
MKE gun: $1,200-$1,500
Barrel cut &trilug: $200
Transfer: $200
A real HK conversion will be about $18,000. So you'd save yourself about $4,000-$5,000, but you'd have a Turkish gun and no ability to use the sear in anything else. But you'd save $4,000-$5,000.
Most people consider the MKE guns to be equivalent to the HK because they are built in an HK licensed plant in Turkey.

Wow, why is it so expensive? Not possible to import any longer?
Note: Incoming fire always has the right of way
I thought it was not possible to use a MKE gun as a host. The best conversions I have seen were from Terry Dyer and TSC Machine.
If you marry the sear to the MKE, you should be good to go. But as retro said, if you ever unmarry the sear, you would have to destroy the MKE host because you have removed the FA carrier blocking tab.
The production of transferable machine guns was stopped back in 5/86. New machine guns can be made but they are not transferable to civilians. Only Law Enforcement agencies, military, or Class III dealers/manufacturers can have them.
So everything that is transferable to a regular citizen had to be built and registered before 5/86. Since there is a finite number of them, the prices have escalated ever since 1986. Some more than others, due to popularity and limited supply...
Uzi: $6,000
Ruger 556: $5,500
Colt M16: $14,000
Clone MP5: $14,000
The HK series is pretty much the most popular one out there. The little sears that used to cost $100 are now about $12,000.
Disclaimer: Prices above are just rough estimates to show relationship costs. No need to tell me about somebody buying something for a couple of grand cheaper.

W. W. Strong Ebonized, Aesthetic Movement Bedroom Suite
This Aesthetic Movement bedroom suite has popped up on Ebay and is labeled via stamp to be made by W. W. Strong Co. of Chicago, Illinois. The seller has some other provenance to share with us on the set:
The set was purchased from the Galesburg, Illinois Historical Society. It was supposedly part of the furnishings from the Lakeshore Drive home of the Potter Palmer family of Chicago. The bed is nearly queen size in width all of the pieces have Egyptian motif painted panels. The set is in wonderful original condition with no repairs. there is a shrinkage crack in the headboard of the bed that can easily be pulled back together.

Big Waves Expected at Local Beaches
The National Weather Service attributed the high surf to a large long- period west-northwest swell. A high surf advisory issued by the agency midday Tuesday was scheduled to expire at 2 p.m. today.
Through early this afternoon, 5- to 8-foot waves with local sets to 10 feet are expected. Extreme and high surf can cause strong rip currents and minor beach erosion.

Singer Rita Ora has claimed that she split up with boyfriend Rob Kardashian months ago.
The "R.I.P" singer and the reality TV star were reported this week to have ended their romance, with Rob posting a series of venomous comments on his Twitter page.
However, Rita has claimed the pair haven't been a couple for several weeks and she had to end it with Rob because she didn't have any time to see him.
Speaking before the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star's Twitter rant, she said: "I'm not going out with Rob. We were close for a while, but it didn't work because I was never there.
"I was like a ghost. I used to get so frustrated with myself and then wonder why I was angry, so I decided it was best to keep it friendly - especially at the moment, when there's so much going on."
Rita, 22, has also claimed she's never truly been in love. She says she hasn't opened up emotionally to any boyfriends yet and she thinks it's her attitude that has stopped any men getting really close to her.
In an interview in the new issue of Glamour magazine, Rita explained: "In 22 years, there's been nothing. I think it's my only weakness. I'm scared of letting my guard down, and if I fell in love with someone now, he'd have to try 10 times harder to break it down."

Haiti and American Baptists have a long history of partnership and service together. And yet, due to internal conflicts in Haiti, the western half of Hispaniola has never been host to an Xtreme Team or Ignite team, until now. After a year hiatus, the American Baptist International Ministries young adult program is back under the name IGNITE and is headed to Haiti. A group of four young adults and one team leader will be serving, learning, and living mission and outreach in Haiti this summer. The orientation training, trip and debriefing of this first IGNITE experience will run from June 23 through July 28th. Upon completion, the team will share their stories at the Immerse Youth Event in Washington, DC from July 24-28th.
IGNITE enables young adults to spark a connection, kindle spiritual and personal growth, and blaze with passion for Jesus Christ. The month long adventure of cross-cultural mission service will push them out of their comfort zones into an extraordinary faith walk with God. During their travels, team members deepen their relationship with God while seeking a deeper understanding of how people of other faiths view God, Jesus, and followers of Jesus. The IGNITE team will be blogging regularly on their website. http://www.internationalministries.org/teams/Ignite_2012
"In Haiti the IGNITE Team will meet believers who have suffered great trauma from chronic poverty and the devastating 2010 earthquake yet have a vibrant witness to God's blessing and peace," says Reid Trulson, Executive Director, International Ministries. "This month-long experience with Haitian brothers and sisters may ignite profound changes in the Team members' understanding of God's presence, Jesus' love and the Spirit's power. We should not be surprised if it helps clarify their call and their unique participation in the mission of God in the world."
Members of the 2012 Haiti team are:
Tyrone Choate, Jr Red Bank, NJ
Catey Hobza Douglas, WY
Nathan Kang Monmouth Junction, NJ
Sarah Nunez Dearborn Heights, MI
Leaders are:
Ketly Pierre Nicaragua
Dan Buttry Hamtramack, MI, USA support
Deliris Carrion Haiti
Nancy and Steve James Haiti
Monel Jules Haiti
Team members regularly post journals and photos to highlight their Xperiences throughout the trip. Visit http://www.internationalministries.org/teams/Ignite_2012 to follow the adventures of this year's team. Join the network to get regular updates by email. We encourage you to be a part of their support team and spread the news of the IGNITE experience and post their journals to your own social media page.
Please keep these young adults and their mentors and leaders in your prayers!
The IGNITE team
is open to young adults ages 19 - 29.

(you know where people piss in the lake and channel) They sat down inside at the tables to eat and nothing was said, I later learned that In N Out allows this. How do you feel about this! What's next, taking the doors off the restrooms!

Plumbing 101
Hello to all :) We have a home built in 1927 and are currently doing a full reno of the basement. My problem is we would like to put a back water valve to protect our home since we have had back up happen a couple of times through our washer drain. The confusion is with our washer drain which is 5 inches from the foundation wall. There is currently just a loose PVC tube about 2 feet in length just sitting loosely in the drain with the drain hose of the washer sitting in the top of that. I'm thinking this cant be right and need to know what has to be done to correct this problem.
It doesn't sound like your laundry drain is plumbed to code. The laundry drain needs to be 2" and trapped. I would have a licensed plumber take a look at it. Additionally, if your home was built in 1927 your main sewer line is most likely made of vitrified clay pipe. If you have had problems with sewage backup it would indicate there is a problem in the main building sewer between the house and the street. If so, that could cost thousands to repair. You may want to consider having it inspected prior to your remodeling project. Unfortunately I've seen gorgeous remodels ruined by disgusting back-ups. If you're still considering a backflow preventer, depending on your landscape and depth of the main, it would be an easier install in the 4" building sewer outside as opposed to jack-hammering or saw cutting the floor inside. Here's an example. http://cleancheck.com/
Sounds like your washer set-up is a simple one using a floor drain for the washer water discharge. For all intents and purposes, it is legal since the floor drain has a trap. The length of PVC pipe is probably to meet the height recommended by the washer manufacturer so the machine doesn't drain during usage. Basically, you could install some clamps to hold the PVC tighter. I would also recommend at least a one inch air gap between the PVC and the top of the floor drain.

Histories and Cultures of Muslim Societies
This program focuses on the histories, literatures, philosophy, religious thought, and legal institutions of Muslim societies. Its primary strength lies in the coverage of a broad range of fields of study in pre-modern and modern periods, particularly with regard to Islamic civilizations in the Near and Middle East. As a result of a growing recognition that the study of Islam and Muslim societies must embrace wider, more inclusive study of the diverse ethnic, racial and religious groups that have been constituents of Muslim cultures in different parts of the world, the program also provides students the opportunity to engage in the comparative study of Muslim societies, particularly in South Asia and Africa and their complex connections with the Near East.
The program in Histories and Cultures of Muslim Societies currently includes the following subfields:
a. Arabic Language and Literature (classical and modern)
b. Islamic Religion and Culture
c. Islamic Intellectual History (especially Philosophy and Theology)
d. Islamic Institutional History
e. Islamic Law
f. Indo-Muslim Culture: The Study of Muslim Societies in South Asia
g. Islam in Africa
Students will generally develop their individualized course of study in consultation with their advisors, frequently selecting one of the above sub-fields as an area of focus. In addition to their area of specialization, all students will be expected to demonstrate broad knowledge of the overall history of Islamic civilization and thought. For students focusing their studies on the Near East, some course work on Islam and Muslim societies outside the Middle East is highly recommended.
Students pursuing a degree in this program are expected to meet the general graduate requirement for all students pursuing graduate degrees in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. Students must demonstrate research level competence in at least one or more departmental language/s (Arabic, Persian, Turkish) as required by their subfield as well as a reading knowledge of two modern languages of scholarship, one which must be French or German. In addition to training in the classical languages and literatures of Islamicate civilizations, students are encouraged to complement their philological training with exposure to other disciplines in the humanities and interpretive social sciences by taking courses in other departments and graduate schools that provide instruction in courses related to the study of Islam and Muslim Societies not explicitly covered in NELC.

Graduate Financial Aid
Learn how to apply for financial aid.
Embarking on a graduate education at the University of Denver requires a financial investment. Yet like any sound investment, your DU degree will yield positive outcomes for years to come. That's why we will make sure you have the help you need to finance your education.
The first step in the process is to apply for aid. In order to receive any federal financial aid, including student loans, you must complete the FAFSA. Remember that you should reapply for aid as early as possible every year you attend DU.
Steps to Apply for the 2017-18 Academic Year
Step 1: Apply for admission to the University of Denver.
We cannot process your financial aid application until you are officially admitted to the University.
Step 2: Create your Federal Student Aid (FSA) ID.
You will use this ID every year you apply for financial aid and to complete Master Promissory Notes for federal student loans.
Step 3: Complete the 2017-18 FAFSA.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is used to determine eligibility for federal aid.
School code: 001371 | Go to the FAFSA >>
2017-18 Award Letters
Once you have completed the requirements to apply for aid, we will send you a financial aid award letter via email. We'll start sending 2017-18 financial aid award letters to new, admitted students in early February. If you're a continuing student, you can expect to receive it in early June.
Priority Deadlines to Apply
- Incoming students: January 15, 2017
- Returning students: March 15, 2017
Why should you apply by the priority deadline? For new students, applying by the priority deadline means you will likely receive your financial aid award letter around the same time as your admission decision. For continuing students, it means you can expect to receive your award letter in late May or early June. If you miss the priority deadline, that's OK—you should still apply as soon as possible to get your award letter. You won't miss out on funding.
You may be selected for verification once your application is submitted. You will be notified via email if you are selected, and should submit the additional requested documentation as soon as possible. We can't create an award package for you until that documentation is submitted.
Steps to Apply for the 2016-17 Academic Year
Do you need to apply for aid for the fall, winter, or spring quarters of the 2016-17 academic year? Please follow the steps outlined above, except submit the 2016-17 FAFSA. Once you have applied (and submitted your additional documentation if selected for verification ), you will receive your financial aid award notification via email in about 2 weeks.
Annual Financial Aid Application Timeline
- October 1st: Earliest date to complete the FAFSA
- January 15th: Priority deadline for incoming students to apply for financial aid
- March 15th: Priority deadline for continuing students to apply for financial aid
- Early February: We'll begin sending financial aid award notifications to incoming students
- Late May/Early June: We'll begin sending financial aid award notifications to continuing students

We're not saying that it only takes a pretty face to be a good TV reporter. We're not saying that notorious "Railcar Killer" Angel Maturino Resendiz had anything other than Cynthia Hunt's austere professionalism on his mind when he sent her exclusive jailhouse letters that were ultimately subpoenaed for his trial. We're not saying it was one of the most bizarre moments in local broadcast journalism when the former University of Alabama homecoming queen donned a fat suit to show how rudely fat shoppers -- or at least shoppers in fat suits -- are treated. What we're saying is that people might forget that behind those down-home good looks lurks an actual reporter. She tracked down Charles Barkley when he was actin' the crybaby in seclusion; that interview aired on ESPN. She broke the story of an ersatz astronaut who bluffed his way into NASA. Her interview with Andrea Yates's family and her investigation into the their preacher wound up on Good Morning America. It's about time she was recognized for her reporting skills, and not just for how oddly good she looks in a fat suit. In August, Hunt resigned from KPRC to become an "independent television and video producer," general manager Steve Wasserman told the Houston Chronicle. Cynthia, we hardly knew ye!
Forget the unwieldy handle, and remember this about the UTMB-TAMUG 2005-2006 Classical Concerts series: It's absolutely free. You can spend an evening at fine arts venues in Houston and fork over a pile of Benjamins for some of the same concerts that book dates for free in Galveston. Sure, the scheduling is a bit haphazard, and some concerts are announced only a week or so in advance, but the price is right. This year's series opened with an evening of flamenco music and dancing by touring Houston ensemble Lucia & Valdemar with Gitanerias Flamenco. Check the Web site for upcoming shows. And when we say leave the wallet and plastic at home, we mean it: There's plenty of street parking around the UTMB campus, and -- we're not making this up -- free punch and cookies are typically served at intermission.
In a city where not having a car is a death sentence for your social life, we'll give the Bissonnet Village Apartments a nod for being strategically close to one of the hottest singles scenes in the city: Rice Village. Auto-challenged residents of "The BV" can stroll -- if need be -- to the nearby Village restaurants and bars, or just hang at the neighboring Goode Co. Taqueria. The complex is a haven for young Med Center professionals and college kids who cash in on the generous student discounts. And we love that the Marquis II bar -- a favorite of the frat/sorority set and one of the best joints in town to pick up drunken coeds -- is just a brief jaunt away, should you find yourself bleary-eyed and staggering on a Tuesday night (not that we would know anything about that...).
If you want to get a real look at the people populating our hippest little multicultural area, just mosey on over to the Taco Cabana at the corner of Montrose and Westheimer, order a plate of nachos and a margarita, and pull up a chair. You'll see transvestites hailing down cars for dates, homeless youths who look like Blink-182 gone wild hawking everything from stolen CDs to crystal meth, tow truck drivers hell-bent on knocking somebody out, street hustlers with pit bulls, and ordinary prostitutes who are holding on to that slice of land as if it were decreed to them in the Declaration of Independence. And we won't even talk about the folly you'll witness coming out of the condom shop next door. There's a million and one stories written every day at that highly trafficked intersection. You're guaranteed to witness about 20 in ten minutes.

Many a balmy Houston night has been made cooler and more comfortable thanks to the efforts of the Houston Symphony. Beginning in June, when it first presented Summer Symphony Nights at Miller Outdoor Theatre, our skies have been filled with sweet sounds designed to make us forget that we've still got sweat dripping off our brows. The symphony's Lord of the Rings Symphony brought us into the air-conditioning of Jones Hall on a couple of hot July nights to witness its haunting musical retelling of the classic trilogy, and we returned for its excruciatingly fun take on Bugs Bunny on Broadway. But after that, it was back outside for more music, including a night at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, where the symphony backed disco diva Donna Summer.

Picking the best charity is harder than it sounds. What are the criteria: the condition of the recipients? The overall effectiveness? How the money is spent? Well, if you consider all of those, then Houston's Shriners Hospital just might be the best charity to donate to this year. The hospital provides free -- yes, free -- medical care to children suffering from major bone, joint and muscle problems. These include scoliosis, brittle bone disease, limb deficiencies and spina bifida, among many others. The staff includes orthopedic surgeons, orthopedic subspecialists and pediatricians, according to spokesperson Raquel Espinoza-Williams. Many of the city's finest private practitioners also volunteer their services to the 40-bed facility. Why? Because offering excellent medical care for free isn't cheap: Last year's tab was $18 million. Why not pony up your share?

Yes, license numbers have 11 digits - a set of three digits, then two and then six. Until application forms are updated, this year simply enter the "8" in the single space on the mail-in form instead of the "08" in the license number. Fish and Game will add the zero.

fireplace insert guys
anyone on here a distributor, know it all, expert, have a friend of a friend, recently install an insert?
I've been shopping around and haven't gotten serious yet, but am seeing prices ranging from $750 for something like this
and then prices of around $2600 (for the insert) $4000 turn key installed from some joint in Waterford (emmet's I think) the guy was real helpful for one of these:
the conversation went like this.
me:How much for that insert?
me:Ok, How about this one?
me:Same price?
me:But the units themselves are priced different, why is the installed price the same?
him:That's just how it works.
me:Oh, ok, have a good day.
him:You too, let me know if we can help.
Anyone recently install an insert? I am too lazy to figure out my fireplaces exact dimensions, but I am assuming there's a unit out there somewhere that will fit right in, besides installing the unit, and chimney pipe (damn that shit aint cheap) there doesn't seem to be much to it, and quite frankly I don't mind spending a few $$ on install, considering if I mess something up my house will go burn down.
So, anyone recently get an insert and recommend a good dealer or installer in the Flint/Detroit areas, close to fenton of course.
Also, any good stories about some of the cheaper units out there or worth it to spend the bigger money?
I have natural gas currently, so my heating costs aren't terrible, but if I can supplement with wood we'd like to.

Can't say much about inserts but Emmits was douchey to me when I went in there at the beginning of this year. Same conversation but I was looking for a grate to cover my fireplace after I took out an old ass insert that I was told later by the sweep my house was about to burn down had I burned in it, lots of creosote from improper install.
All his grates were 500+ and he said I couldn't get one any cheaper. Trip to Home Depot and $50 later I had a nice grate

I plan to shop around some more, but even home depot has some inserts that are cheaper than his but again similar warranty.
I can't see spending $4000 on an insert when I could spend 7500 or so on an outdoor wood burner.
Which is what I would prefer, except I don't know that my neighbors would love it all that much, though it is still an option, but a lot more expensive.

I just bought a Pacific Energy Summit model insert. I hope to complete the install tomorrow. You're correct, the stainless flex chimney liner, cap, and top plate, will set you back another $400-600.

Emmets in Waterford are retards. I work with a brother of one of the managers of Emmets, but he is located at the Royal Oak (I think thats where it is) store. I was told the Waterford guys would treat me well. Anyway, after being dicked around on various stuff, I said screw it and went to another store. I ended up purchasing from Pine Tree Heating. They have a much better display set up with all sorts of different units and they weren't douchers.
I have a pellet insert so it isn't exactly the same, but the install is very easy. I did mine myself with no issues. As Hancho says, I do have to buy fuel, but for my use it works well. It's not like I have property to cut wood at the house and transporting it from the farm up north wouldn't really be saving me anything once I put in the time. Also, it's very little work as pellets are more or less automatic. Regarding cost, I don't really save much money as my furnace is natural gas, but that wasn't my point. My point was to get my lower level living room, which was always cold in the winter to be warm. My stove works very well for that and easily heats my whole house in the process, vs just the upper levels being warm with the furnace.

I want to save some $$I but like you my lower living room is usually pretty chilly. Which is where im installing it.
Consensus is to just install yourself? Cram it in the hole, run chimney pipe and cap and call it good? Seems simple just ddidnt want to burn my house down

The more super anal efficient you want to be the more it's going to cost! I believe that to be absolutely ludicrous when it comes to burning wood in a fireplace with a blower!!
Check this site out a lot of this stuff is plain and simple to the point where you can maybe even build it yourself.
Here is a pdf of a basic dimensions to where you can build it yourself!!
You can weld right? lol

relating to woodburning stoves.....is it best to buy one that burns both pellets AND logs just in case the EPA puts the pellet people out of business or causes them to raise prices too high with new emission regs?

Skip country squire. Prices are very high. The place I bought my insert from is hearth n home in Perry, but I had heard they closed.
Check out hearth.com A lot of good information there. We bought an Avalon Olympic, which is the biggest insert we could fit in the fireplace. I think it was right around $3,400 installed, with the chimney. It is nice, and heats our whole first and second floor.
Looking back, I kinda wish we would have went with a furnace add on one that uses the ductwork, as I am still figuring out what we are going to do to heat the basement (it is a walkout).
Brighton Stone also sells Avalon stoves, might want to check them out. Price was a little higher, but they are a local company. I have a thread from a couple of years ago about this.

Buy the best chimney you can. I just had a chimney fire recently. Scary as hell seeing flames shooting out of your house. I have double wall, insulated, stainless that doesn't get alot of creosote build up but had enough for a fire. Didn't damage any part of the house at all.

I would assume you'll need power as well for the blower, but that is pretty simple to install as well. A basic 110 plug is all thats needed.
Regarding which stove to pick, if you plan to heat the whole house make sure the BTU is high enough. That will eliminate most of the cheap ones right out of the gate. Then there are the various blowers and such that add cost. I believe some of the higher end wood inserts also have some basic furnace like functions which regulate the temp better than the basic stoves that require you to be fiddling with it constantly. Also, efficiencies do matter to some degree, but most new stoves will be pretty close. Efficiency coupled with the size of the firebox will dictate burn times. You don't want to have to get up to restock it every two hours. Also, I would look to see if there are any current tax incentives on them. When I bought mine, as long as it was a minimum efficiency I would get %30 back on my taxs.
Regarding install, pipe depends on what sort of fireplace you have now. If you have a real fireplace then simply sticking it in and running the recommended pipe works. If it's just a decorative fireplace for the little gas logs, then it may require insulated pipe which is much more expensive. I don't know about the wood burning ones, but many of the pellet stoves are designed for zero clearance installs so there isn't much to be worried about.

Unfortunately, our fireplace is in the living room, and the french doors don't let the heat out to the rest of the house. when we moved in, there was a soapstone woodburner set on ceramic tile and cement board. That sucker was heavy. The flue has a cutout for stovepipe, so it would be easy to re-run the pipe, but we wanted to use the fireplace as it was installed, (smoky joe) so we are going with an instert.
Our firebox has a rounded top, with the bricks around the box pushed out 1/2" beyond the front of the brick wall. I have tons of wood to burn, seasoned to go, but can't burn it because the damper is damaged. It has the chunk cut out, but the screw open/close mechanism is gone.

The U.S. isn't the only country staring down the barrel of a drug shortage. Canada is facing multiple supply problems, now that a Sandoz plant in Quebec has scaled back production, CBC News reports. The generics division of Novartis ($NVS) is suspending output of some products and cutting back on others as it works to fix manufacturing violations flagged by the FDA.
"As we progress with our remediation activities, all production processes will be affected, significantly reducing output ... and likely resulting in temporary supply disruptions," Sandoz Canada's president, Michel Robidoux, told pharmacists in a letter obtained by The Globe and Mail. The company will prioritize "medically necessary drugs," Robidoux said, while halting production of less critical products.
"We will focus all available Boucherville injectable capacity on the supply of life-saving and acute care injectable medicines to ensure that patients with critical medical conditions continue receiving adequate treatment," the letter states. Eye drugs, ointments and some other formulations will be put on the back burner. Doctors may have to turn to other treatment alternatives for some patients, Robidoux stated.
The problem is that Sandoz is one of the Canada's biggest suppliers of injectable cancer and heart drugs. CTV reports it's a sole supplier for some Quebec hospitals of certain drugs. Meanwhile, pharmacies have already had their orders turned away, CNBC says. And as they have been in the U.S., officials now are calling for new systems to prevent drug shortages.
Sandoz told The Globe and Mail that it has earmarked more than $170 million for fixes at the Quebec plant and two others in the U.S. All three were cited in a warning letter issued by the FDA in November.

A First Look at WestHouse, A NYC Hotel That Feels Like a Private Club and Channels Art Deco
By Terry Trucco
WestHouse, a new midtown boutique hotel, sports an inviting lobby, but you can't just waltz in. At least, you're not supposed to.
As boutique hotels have become increasingly private, WestHouse, fashioned as a concierge floor that swallowed a hotel, takes the idea to new heights. The bar tucked in the back of the Art Deco lobby is only for "hotel residents," as guests are called. So is the roof terrace opening later this summer. And you can't come in off the street and butter up a bagel – or anything else – from the good-looking breakfast spread of smoked salmon, artisanal breads, yoghurt and berries, even if you offer to pay.

Gator Baseball Falls In First Game of NCAA Regional; Moves On To Valparaiso
GAINESVILLE- The Florida Gator baseball team were the victims of a late rally by the Austin Peay Governors in the first game of the NCAA Bloomington Regional.
The Govs took an early 1-0 lead on a line to shortstop. The resulting out left first baseman Vickash Ramjit a little shaken up when his ankle was hurt, but he would stay in for the duration of the game.
Then in the top of the sixth with two on, a left field long ball by Justin Shafer (his 5th of the season) put the Gators ahead 3-1.
Jonathon Crawford took the mound for Florida for 6.1 innings, giving up 4 hits and striking out 5. Daniel Gibson came in for the back half of the 7th inning. Ryan Harris took the mound for Florida to finish out and was credited with the loss.
In the bottom of the 8th, Harris was hit off of by Michael Davis who sent one to just over the wall in left field, and just out of the reach of Harrison Bader. The 3 run homer put Austin Peay ahead 4-3 and they would hang on to win the game by that score.
Gators now drop down into the losers brack and will face Valparaiso on Saturday at 2pm.

svt vct gear
I have been searching and reading many instructions on timing belt replacement. No where in any of the literature that i have found is how to set the vct gear. Can anyone tell me or tell me where to go to find the answer. I have moved the gear a tooth either way and get either a p1381 or p1383 code. VERY frustrated! Is the gear supposed to be fully turned towards the front(towards bumper) or backwards (towards the windshield)? I had to do enough work that i had engine down to the block replacing pistons valves etc. PLEASE someone has to know the secret! When i say turning the gear i am talking about the cams in a locked and lined up position. Does the gear need to be set all the way forward or all the way back or somewhere in the middle? I am asking about the gear only. I have the engine at tdc and cams in alignment but have no idea where to set the gear to not get any codes.

SpaceX Test Fires Falcon 9 Rocket
Hawthorne-based SpaceX, the space rocket startup headed by former PayPal founder Elon Musk, and backed by Founders Fund and Draper Fisher Jurvetson, disclosed Wednesday that it has completed two successful test firings of its Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The firm said the testing was conducted twice this month, and are the first part of acceptance testing before launch in Cape Canaveral. Falcon 9 is SpaceX's newest rocket, and is part of an effort to meet a NASA contract to transport supplies to and from the International Space Station. The firm said the firm's first launch of the Falcon 9 from Canaveral will be a demonstration flight, and also be used to provide the firm with aerodynamic and performance information.

Dear high achiever,
I've been exactly where you are: looking to get a move my businesses offshore, get a second passport, and live a life of total freedom...
...and I've learned from nine years of experience that I could have accomplished my goals many years earlier by simply trusting the right expert to help me.
I've also discovered that most people are stuck reading articles, calling random lawyers, and continuing the perpetual cycle of information consumption... rarely make the progress they hope for.
Are YOU ready to lower your taxes, get a second passport, or invest overseas for higher returns?
People often tell me "Andrew, I am different. I am an action taker"... and then proceed to waste more time, make more excuses, and ask more of the wrong questions.
I've set aside some time to speak to a small number of true action takers. If you're ready to skip the nonsense and get right to creating a "Nomad Strategy", then I'd like to help..
To be considered as one of the five people I work with directly each month, I have an application process with some important questions of my own for you.

petrol or diesel?
fuel economy
So people would recommend a NEW YARIS 1.4 D4D T2 3dr
for £7,395 with a years free insurance. I don't want
central locking, E/windows or a CD player, and the normal old
yaris performed very well without the side and passenger airbag.
So the base model which now comes with ABS, EBD and
PAS must be the best value new diesel you can buy,
anyone agree? The insurance would cost me at least £500,
so you get a good, new modern diesel car for less
than £7K! Bet it would be worth £4K after three
years too!
Any Yaris owners care to comment too!?
I think pulling away at idling has more to do with
the engine management system than whether it's petrol or diesel.
"the 2000rpm rule. Should be the first line of any diesel
car owner handbook."
Wonderful. So we are all agreed.
And the second line should be: "And when accelerating it is
OK to take it up to 4000rpm."
NOT change up at 3000 rpm (because of the noise?)
and NEVER change up during an overtake.
Best available rate 9.20%
Total repayment £9,304.93
Total cost of credit £1,804.93
60 monthly payments
Representative example
The Representative APR is 13.2% (fixed) so if you borrow £7,500 over 4 years at a rate of 13.2% p.a (fixed) you will repay £199.21 per month and repay £9562.20 in total.

Environmental Design
Rec Center lauded for efficiency
The Student Recreation Center at GSU received three Green Globes from the Green Building Initiative for its efforts to use less energy, conserve natural resources and emit fewer pollutants into the air.
Green Globes is a building assessment program that offers ways to advance the overall environmental performance and sustainability of commercial buildings.
Scott Levin, director of recreational services at GSU, says that the four-story, 161,000-square-foot building is the first existing student recreation center in the country to be Green Globes certified.
"We are also the first Green Globes-certified facility in higher education in the state of Georgia, and one of only five certified facilities in the entire state," Levin said.
GSU's Student Recreation Center houses office and administration spaces, meeting rooms, weight rooms, training rooms, a gymnasium, a fitness center, a pool and support areas.
Some of the systems that the SRC has in place to ensure a healthy environment include the use of high efficiency air filters and environmentally preferred cleaning products, meeting guidelines for lighting levels, and monitoring air exhaust streams and CO2 levels, Levin said.
Michael O'Brien, a senior engineer at Energy Ace and a Green Globes assessor, pointed out that the the Rec Center and GSU as a whole have initiated several programs to drive down the use of energy, water and other resources.
"[The Student Recreation Center] was able to qualify for the Green Globes certification without really having to make any modifications to the building," he said.
GSU went through months of self-assessment before O'Brien conducted an energy audit of the 10-year-old facility, followed by a feasibility study comparing green building certification options.
"The two areas where we received the highest marks were indoor environment and emissions and pollution controls," Levin said. "This means we demonstrate leadership in design and delivery of energy and environmentally sensitive buildings and a commitment to continual improvement."
The three Green Globes distinction was also based on the SRC's use of high efficiency boilers, monitoring building refrigerants, the type of building fire system, and the method of storm water runoff.

After a ton of research and looking at lab breeders in Ohio we found the litter we wanted and put down a depost and are second on list for a female. The parents are both great field dogs for duck and pheasant and also hold HRC titles including Master and 500 point HRC. We were excited as the pups were due the third week of February. Things have gone south in the last week and I need some input/advise from anyone who has raised young pups. The mom went into labor and had the first pup get stuck. That being said they had to go C-section. All 6 pups (3 male 3 female)survived the C-section including the one stuck. The mother had some complications and the pups were not with mom for the first night. After a few days some of the pups becamce very week and as of yesterday 3 have passed (2 male, 1 female). I am getting a little nervous about the overall health of the litter at this point. The other concern is being number 2 on the list and now only having 2 females I don't have any choice in the pup I recieve. I know many trainers who say it is the litter to be concerned most about not the individual pup. Should I be concerned about long term issues or if the three remaining respond well at this point don't worry? I would always plan a visit with my vet when I picked the pup up. I am not familiar with c section births with pups and just concerned about 50% mortality rate with the litter. We are really torn right now, I really like the parents both hunting and tempermant. Should I see how things go over the next few weeks or just walk away. I know I would loose my deposit but that is minimal to bringing home an unhealthy dog with long term issues. Granted I know no pup or breeder can guarantee long term health. Just nervous!!! Any breeders on here advise would be great.
I am asking because back around the holidays we had to put down our 4 yr old chocolate lab due to cancer totally unexpectedly. This was devistating to not only me but my two daughters and my wife. I am sure you understand where I am going here.

Farrakhan Should Join Anti-Police Terror Movement – and Stop Flirting with Trump Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan has said there are some things he likes about Donald Trump. What's to like? asks Carl Dix, co-founder of the Stop Mass Incarceration Network. Trump's campaign statements "drip with racism and misogyny," and "anybody with progressive inclinations shouldn't be seeing things they like in him." Dix noted that Farrakhan spoke under the banner of "Justice or Else" at a giant rally, last year. "But, there has been no justice; the police continue to brutalize and murder people. So – where's the 'or else?' I don't see the Nation of Islam in the streets saying: 'This must stop,'" said Dix. Both Clintons Neck Deep in African Blood Bill and Hillary Clinton are deeply implicated in the death of six million Congolese, said Claude Gatebuke, a Rwandan genocide survivor and co-founder of the African Great Lakes Action Network. Bill Clinton's Rwanda policies put dictator Paul Kagame in power "in spite of the overwhelming evidence of the massacres Kagame committed" and his role "in the death of more than six million people in the Congo and other millions of people in the region." Hillary Clinton, as secretary of state under President Obama, tried to suppress a United Nations report that documented Rwanda's culpability in the ongoing Congolese bloodbath – the worst genocide since World War Two. Black Colombians Block Highway in Land Fight Thousands of Colombians of African descent blockaded the Pan American Highway, demanding respect for Black people's ancestral land rights. Millions of Black Colombians have been displaced by seizure of their lands by multinational corporations, said activist Charo Mina-Rojas. Afro-Colombians also fear that FARC guerillas covet Black territories as part of a peace deal being negotiated in Havana, Cuba. "We are concerned that we are not sitting at that table," said Mina-Rojas. "We know that FARC has an interest in areas where Black people are located. This is a territorial control issue." Woodfox: Recidivism Begins in the State Legislature Albert Woodfox, the former political prisoner who served 44 years in Angola's notorious Angola prison, most of it in solitary confinement, has some ideas on crime prevention. He agrees that nobody wants to be victimized by crime. "But, if you don't want to be a victim of crime, stop letting these politicians pass these laws that make it impossible for an ex-felon to get out and survive unless he commits a crime." Woodfox spoke at a University of Pittsburgh Law School symposium on solitary confinement. CLICK BELOW TO HEAR BLACK AGENDA RADIO 00:00 Read more about Black Agenda Radio for Week of May 4, 2016

Two Balls, Twelve Cups
Pong. For gamers of a certain age, the word brings back memories of two-tone, two-dimensional graphics and hours spent at the arcade. But for today's whippersnappers, there's just one kind of pong: beer pong. But you don't have to be a young gun to appreciate the Miami Heat. So this weekend's New Times event at Whiskey Joe's, combining a beer pong tournament and a Miami Heat Game Six Watch Party, is pretty perfect no matter who you are. If you grew up playing Pong the video game, you know that it has a few things in common with its brewsky cousin. Both feature bouncing balls. Both are highly addictive in nature. And it's easy to get competitive about each one. But unlike the video game, where the best you can hope for is a spot for your three initials at the top of the leaderboard, New Times' Beer Pong Tournament offers the chance to win cold, hard cash. Beer pong teams of two players each have the chance to take home $500. But even if you don't beat the competition, you're still a winner. Pabst Blue Ribbon is providing the beer, and the competition plays out at Whiskey Joe's (3301 Rickenbacker Cswy., Key Biscayne), with one of the city's best views. Registration costs $10 per player, and the tournament starts at 7 p.m. Visit bit.ly/beerpongMAY. Meanwhile, if you just want to watch LeBron, Wade, and Veloci-Bosh do their thing on the court, you can skip the pong altogether and head straight to the watch party specials. Whiskey Joe's will be serving 50-cent wings for the occasion, as well as whiskey sours for $5.50. So you can go big, go pong, and of course -- GO HEAT!

We demonstrate a passively mode-locked femtosecond laser based on the self-frequency-doubling crystal Yb:Ca4YO(BO3)3. The oscillator is pumped by a novel two-section distributed Bragg-reflector tapered diode-laser. Pulses as short as 46 fs and 42 fs at 1050 nm are achieved for the E//Z polarization without and with external compression, respectively. These are, to the best of our knowledge, the shortest pulses obtained from an oscillator based on Yb3+-doped bulk material.

Weatherization Stimulus: Lots of It, FastKatie Fehrenbacher
For the thousands of contractors and state and local agencies that have received funds under the Energy Dept.'s Weatherization Assistance Program in the past, President Obama's stimulus bill, which calls for a massive $6.2 billion to weatherize low-income homes, was a little like winning the lottery. The DOE last year allocated just $227.2 million for the Weatherization Program, which was founded in 1976 and has so far helped around 6.2 million families' homes become more energy-efficient by upgrading insulation, heating and cooling systems, air filters, and windows.
So the first reaction from the contractors and agencies, naturally, has been elation. As Geoff Chapin, CEO of eco-retrofit company Next Step Living, says, "We were heartened to hear that weatherization plays such a critical role in the stimulus package." But that influx in funds—what the Obama Administration calls "the largest weatherization program in history"—is so large that federal, state, and local agencies are expected to find allocating them and conducting sufficient oversight a real challenge. The DOE and the state agencies will have about a month to allocate the funds, and local agencies will have around 18 months to spend them. Industry insiders (who don't want to go on record criticizing the package) are doubtful that the new funds will be dispersed in a smart and timely manner—state and local agencies, they say, just can't ramp up fast enough.
The DOE, however, says it's confident it can complete the task. Robert DeSoto, weatherization project manager for the agency, said they're "up to the challenge;" the funds, he said, will still be allocated in a similar manner as before, just with a couple of expected changes aimed at boosting the numbers of homes that would qualify, such as raising both the amount that can be spent per house (to $5,000 from $3,055) and the income-level ceiling for eligible families. DeSoto said the real test will be getting the 900 local agencies to spend the funds on construction—which is always capital-intensive and slow-moving—within the allotted time frame. Chapin is also concerned about how the agencies will spend the funds in a timely and effective manner.

While the path ahead is still unclear, the motivation behind President Obama's decision to make weatherization one of the first priorities of his energy plan is not: It's one of the most cost-effective ways to invest in energy efficiency. According to the DOE Weatherization Program, $1 invested returns $1.65 in energy-related benefits, and at the same time leverages $1.54 in other resources from private funding, utilities, state funds, and other federal funds. A home that's weatherized at a cost of several thousand dollars can save some $350 per year on energy bills, claims the Obama Administration. (The Weatherization Program's estimate comes in at about $413.)
For low-income families, such savings could be crucial. According to an Oak Ridge National Laboratory study, low-income families paid 17% of their annual income on energy, compared with the 4% spent by higher-income households.
Increasing home energy efficiency is also low-hanging fruit for the fight against climate change—the technology is widely available (insulation, more efficient building materials), unlike many forms of clean power generation that are still too expensive or still in the development phase. Residential homes accounted for 21% of all U.S. energy consumption in 2007, according to the Energy Information Administration.
So clearly a boost for the weatherization program is savvy, and ramping up the current funds to such a large extent, laudable. But some may argue that more of the $6.2 billion should be put toward ensuring that the funds are being spent properly, or that the timeline should be relaxed to accommodate a slower ramp-up. Close attention needs to be paid to where this money is going, and how, exactly, it will be spent.

I have had this new holland 575 for several years been a great baler. Today at the end of the field the pto shaft popped out of the clutch housing onto the ground and we stopped immediately.
Looking it over the 1/2 bolt with the grease zerk in it that goes into the clutch houseing came loose and it popped right out. So we went to the new holland dealer bought the new bolt and put it back together and made sure everything was right.
after about 20 bales going slowly it popped right out again. I have never had this problem with this baler before. Anybody ever have this happen?? I am thinking to put it back in with loctite.

I think it would be a good idea to do some more investigating. With that happening that quickly it leads me to believe that something is either broke, worn, or out of adjustment.

Did you also re-install the two flat washers along with the Bolt?
Posted 15 July 2012 - 09:01 AM
Yes new bolt and the two washers. I have the proper override on the clutch and everything runs smooth no jerking or anything on the pto shaft. Put it together one more time and if it doesnt stay in I guess its replace the clutch pilot. Examined it inside threads appear good with no dammage.

I hit mine with a heavy dose of lock-tite, seemed to work.

I hit mine with the loctite too only because the parts guy at new holland told me the threads get stressed on these and he would use the loctite when putting it together.

I didnt think it was a good idea the first time but since it might be the clutch pilot that is bad its a way cheaper fix if it works.
Guess we will see if that stuff lives upto its name.
