Hello;
I have a question about castings. I need to determine exactly what type of casting I have.
I need to repair four holes that are stripped of the threads and also have two broken studs in them. The holes are about one inch dia.
The casting is part of a backhoe. It is the main pivot that
I wanted to use my DELL 2006 LCD monitor as a TV set. After various exchanges with people I was told to buy the above cable and connect it to my SONY RDR-HX780 Tivo using the component video output RCA sockets labelled Y, PB, PR. I bought the cable and plugged it in but nothing happens at all. Am I
It could be the dams, fertilizers, pesticides, and related reduced food availability. It might have to do with the amount of water in the region, climate change, and poor regulation. Most likely, it's some combination of these factors compounded by widespread apathy about a population of chinook salmon off the coasts of Northern California--until it was too late. The Press Democrat quoted fisherman Al Vail: “I never caught a fish,” he said. “I've never seen a year like this, and I've been fishing for 45 years.” Sad, but is anyone surprised? Those with an eye to the fishery knew this news would come. The farmers, the environmentalists, the scientists, the fishermen, and much of the public observed and waited. Tragedy of the commons? Perhaps. Tragedy for the fishery and those involved in industry? Obviously. Next up... Blue Fin Tuna?
I'm reminded of Kurt on the fate of the planet in Man Without A Country: "We could have saved it, but we were too damn cheap and lazy."
Were you a Comcast subscriber between April 1, 2006 and December 31, 2008? Did you use Ares, BitTorrent, eDonkey, FastTrack, or Gnutella? Yes? Then it's payday for you, to the tune of $16, as the now infamous PSP class action lawsuit against Comcast has resulted in a previous mentioned $16 million settlement fund. You have until August 29, 2010 to file a claim. [Ars Technica] More »

(HealthDay News) -- Eating a Mediterranean diet may help keep your brain healthy as you age, findings from an ongoing study show.
"This diet emphasizes vegetables, fruits, fish, olive oil, lower meat consumption, and moderate wine and non-refined grain intake," study author Dr. Christy Tangney, of Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, said in a news release from the American Society for Nutrition.
Rather than asking people to avoid certain foods, the study found data that "adults over age 65 should look to include more olive oil, legumes, nuts, and seeds in their diet in order to improve their recall times and other cognitive skills, such as identifying symbols and numbers," Tangney said.
The study included 4,000 adults aged 65 and older who were given a series of tests to examine their cognitive (or thinking) skills every three years over a 15-year period. Those who scored highest in following a Mediterranean diet were least likely to suffer cognitive decline, the study authors found. Read more...
