Travis In Austin

Country music is about someone losing their man/woman, job, horse, dog, etc. Folk music is about social change. Now Western music, still trying to figure that out.

The best article on BB King I have read so far. Brought back some great memories of those great venues and watching Steve Miller and BB play.

Dp for some reason.

He and Pinetop are having a laugh right now.

Yes, you just clamp it on to your chain, hold onto it with one hand, and turn the pedals with the other. The chain gets routed through the different brushes which are bathed in a degreaser. DOH, even I get it now.

Hallo, Willkommen auf der Klipsch Forum. Ich hoffe, Sie genießen Sie Ihre Zeit hier . Es gibt viele erfahrene Leute hier , die Ihnen fast jede Klipsch Fragen zu unterstützen. Es gibt sogar ein Forumsmitglied in Deutschland , die den hoch angesehenen Jubilee Lautsprecher besitzt . Auch hier willkommen. Travis

Bienenstich is even better.

a rag bathed in chainsaw oil is even better - bathe the rag with a light film to clean and remove the dirt - then use a clean rag with new oil - works every time - a rag bathed in chainsaw oil is even better - bathe the rag with a light film to clean and remove the dirt - then use a clean rag with new oil - works every time - Does that attract more dirt and grime? Have they developed a dry lubricant that actually works better than LPS? LPS was the SOTA when we rode bikes in 70s, it is greaseless, displaces water, prevents rust, attracts way less dirt, grime, sand, etc. It was better than most of the chain lubes available at the time. It may not have enought lubricant properties for mountain bike application. Here is a link to a mountain bike site that describes various types of chain lube. http://www.ems.com/shop/index.jsp?categoryId=23725956 Travis

Thanks, I wasn't sure what the point was. The video I posted showed technique for cleaning chain on motorcycle with chain on, it certainly is easier to do then pulling chain off.

Maybe this will help, http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewel_%28singer%29 She lives in Stephenville and Austin, or at least she did. Used to see her at several music venues here.

I like this gal's system for cleaning a chain, but I always preferred removing the chain, and we always carried extra connecting links and and keepers, but I never had a chain break or come apart. Probably because we carried extra links. https://youtu.be/g2uvF1R0js4

I am not understanding what the value of the cleaning device is. With dirt bikes we would remove chain put it in a pan of parts cleaner, let is sit, clean sprockets, remove from pan, reattach, adjust, lube and go. Does this somehow scrub or clean better?

I believe Chris A. uses this program extensively and may be able to help you with this. I will see if I can find a thread to link for you, and this one to him so he might be able to drop in. Travis

Joe opened for BB King when he was a twelve-year-old (12), he is late 30s now. Here he is with Clapton at Royal Albert Hall. https://youtu.be/g1mzm6j6Urk

Not really something to chew on because it is bull****, not something anyone should relish chewing on. I don't have time to dig up facts for all three cities, however, here is a list for crime in the District from 1960 to present, and, if memory serves me correctly, the relevent time period for President Clinton was from '93 to '00. and the murder rate was down every year after '93. Anyone can go to the FBI site and look up the Uniform Crime Report to look up these facts for themselves. http://www.disastercenter.com/crime/dccrime.htm

Thanks for the Klipsch history. It must have been gratifying working there! PWK is to be commended for profit sharing bonuses and the insurance provided. I understand that Hope and Selma were far apart in the '60s. How would you say Hope has changed in recent decades? Where I grew up (the San Francisco Bay Area) long hair on young men started to appear in about 1965, and by 2 years later was quite common in Berkeley, S.F., and Oakland. There were always a few beards, and the number started to grow in the very early '60s. One couldn't get a job at Safeway with either. I tried to become a night clerk at the YMCA, and they said I wouldn't be considered unless I shaved off my beard. I pointed at a picture of Jesus above the counter, and they uttered the immortal words, "That was then." A friend, working as a volunteer, developed a photography course at the Boys' Club, returned after vacation with a beard, and they showed him the door, which he went through. There were better places to volunteer, with better attitudes. I noticed that PWK sported a beard sometime during the '70s. The long-haired employees weren't working at Klipsch in the mid-sixties...or even in the latter sixties, it was in the early to mid-1970's when that started...and they weren't "brought in", either...they were locals and that was the hairstyle of the time and what they did on their off time was their own business. If you want young hard-working employees, you can't go by their hair style or their clothing style...you can only give them a chance and see if they work out...many didn't work out...many did! You do know about the large sign in PWK's office, right? It was Henry David Thoreau's "Beware all enterprises which require new clothes!" I like to think of PWK as a liberal conservative. He believed in the values that made our country great, sprinkled with enough liberal attitude to see change for the good as not necessarily stepping on those values. Today it seems that every conversation falls back on something to do with race or equal rights, with absolutely no consideration for values, which is what I personally see as the REAL problem. Texarkana was a world apart from the Hope and Prescott area in the 1960's and early 1970's. For most of those years, Texarkana was the number one per capita murder capital of the USA! By the time Bill Clinton left office as governor, Little Rock was the number one per capita murder capital of the USA. And before he left the office of president, Washington, D.C. had that title...didn't anybody else ever notice that? Something to chew on, isn't it??

Here is a site that discusses standards for testing sensitivity, including IEC references. http://www.prosoundweb.com/article/loudspeaker_sensitivity_whats_a_watt_anyway/ Travis

According to the site Sensitivity in dB = 112 + 10 log (efficiency) Efficiency = 10(Sensitivity in dB – 112)/10 The 112 comes from the 0db reference point for sound as follows: "Where does the 112 dB come from? The 0 dB reference level for sound is 10−12 watts. 1 acoustical watt means 120 dBSPL. The standard measurement for loudspeakers is done with an infinite baffle sounding in a half room with a distance of r = 1 m. The resultant factor 2π × r2 (area of a half sphere) equals −8 dB. Therefore we get for an efficiency of 1 = 100 % a sensitivity of 120 − 8 = 112 dB. This calculation works correct if the loudspeaker radiates in a hemisphere 2π. Otherwise you must add the factor Q because of directionality. Solid sphere Q = 1, hemisphere Q = 2, quarter sphere Q = 4, and eighth sphere Q = 8."

I always thought of them as the same thing. My LaScalas are efficient speakers because they are 104db at 1 meter with 1 watt My LaScalas are sensitive to 1 watt of power in that they provide 104db from 1 meter away. I did to until Chief Bonehead caught himself using the terms interchangeably and he started to explain they were very different concepts, yet were interrelated thus causing the confusion. Here is an excellent site that discusses the concepts, complete with calculators and methodology on testing. I still cannot wrap my head around the difference even though the author's premise starts out that they are "not the same." http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-efficiency.htm

Google cars will be out and about this summer according to this article. Google's new self-driving cars hit the road http://flip.it/aSCFz

How do you trek up a trail lined with chains with a baby attached?

I really think Joe B is going to slide in there as The blue player.

So does Michael Vick have his own set of collector cards?
