Textbooks on a Budget
Back to school means yet another expense… Textbooks. Like many of you, I run on a student budget, and cannot afford expensive textbooks; luckily, there are many ways to save money when it comes to purchasing your required books.
- Ask Upperclassmen: For many classes, the "required" textbooks are not actually "required," but may be more of a professor suggestion. This may be hard for your first quarter, but once you have familiarized yourself with campus, ask upperclassmen who have taken those classes if those required textbooks were necessary. If they used their books for those specific courses, inquire if they still have their old textbooks and if they would sell them to you at a cheaper rate.
- Rent: Barnes and Noble started the offering the rental of textbooks last year. Instead of buying the books for full cost and then selling them back at the end of the quarter for a fraction of the price, students are now able to rent certain textbooks from the book store for the quarter they are needed. For more information on renting from barnes and noble: Click here
- Another popular site I have used to rent my textbooks was Chegg.com. Although not all my books have been available, some of my past books have been available to rent via chegg.
- Used books: Not all books have to be brand-spanking new. Often times, the textbook editions are used numerous quarters in a row. Instead of buying the new book, I suggest you check if there are used, more affordable, editions available at Barnes and Noble. Also, if you have time before classes start, search on online sources such as Amazon.com or Half.com to see if the used books are available.
- Rochester Textbooks: Located a few minutes from campus, this used book store has a variety of textbooks available to students at discounted prices. I recommend going there early, before the books you need are no longer available.
- Share with your friends: For most of my classes, I tend to do all my studying in groups. If you work in a group of three to four people, there is no need for four of the same textbook, so it would make sense to split the cost, and share the book with one of your friends. If you are going to work together, why not share the cost of the book? Just make sure you and your friend have a set plan of studying, so you know when to share the textbook if you are not together.
- Older Editions: Some professors realize students run on a budget, so although the course asks for the latest edition, you may be able to work from previous editions of the same book. If the older edition can be used, the professors will either scan the newer edition textbook homework sets, or post the questions that are used from both editions, so students with either edition will have the homework problems.
- Note for the end of the quarter- determine which books you will not need to use again, and sell your purchased books back to the bookstore. If you ever need to reference your books again, there are numerous books available either on reference at the Wallace Library circulation desk or throughout the library. Also, you can see if your current books are available on reserve by checking on the course reserves site for the library
There are probably many other ways to save on textbooks; these are just a few I have utilized since being at RIT. My first quarter, I spent over $500 on textbooks, and since learning about these resources, I have not spent over $100 any quarter since.

MY girlfriend was curious some time back on the angles after I had been reading some the posts here and so we went to a park with a DIY hammock (all our hammocks have ridge lines) and some spare line. Strung the spare line tight between trees and then the DIY hammock suspension on top of the spare line, i.e., the tree huggers on top of the spare line. I pulled the DIY suspension moderately tight as I usually do, got in the hammock and she proceeded to make measurements and informed me that the angle was about 25 degrees ( maybe 26) and could I make it less. We figured that the only way to make it less was to pull the suspension tighter. I'm not Arnold Schwarzenegger, but I'm not the 90 lb weakling either ( 165 lbs and I can do 200 marine style pushups and have done so on my morning exercise regimen) , but I pulled the suspension as tight as I could manage. Plucked the suspension and got a nice note from the Spyderline. Gingerly got in the hammock. That was okay. Bounced around a little getting more energetic as my confidence increased. No problems from the suspension. I settled down and she proceeded to make her measurements again. Guess what? The smallest angle I could get with as much pull on tightening the suspension as I could muster was about 20 degrees. Maybe a degree or 2 less. Minimum would be 18 degrees.
From that I very, very seriously doubt that there many people around that could get anywhere near 90 degrees. I doubt that there are any that could get close to 90 degrees with a loaded hammock, say 180 to 200 lbs, to seriously affect the safety margin on modern ropes.
Oh the trees were slightly under 16' apart. Cannot remember the exact figures from the experiment, but I do remember approximately. The wider the separation, the further from 90 degrees you will end up.
I had a few more thoughts on why we decided long ago to always use a ridge line besides having a preset sag:
- chair height. We both like our hammocks hung so that it is about hip high when nobody is in it. That way when we grab the edge and turn around to sit down, the hammock settles down to about chair high which makes it very comfortable to just sit down.
That also, makes getting out of the hammock very easy. Just like standing up from a chair.
If the hammock is too high, we have to climb down out of it which isn't too bad. What is worse is having the hammock so low that we have to climb up out of it. If the hammock ends up much below chair height getting out involves more gymnastics and if a lot below chair high, we end up literally crawling out onto the ground and then standing up. Not comfortable.
So, with a ridge line, maybe we just naturally like to hang higher than other people. Without a ridge line, we would be hanging even higher on the trees and may not even be able to reach high enough to do so. We could hang lower and be uncomfortable, but then why do that if the ridge line allows us to hang where we are comfortable?
- tree separation - About the minimum we can hang our DIY hammocks is about 14' and that is a real squeeze. We try for about 16' to 18', but have had to settle for up to 20' to 22' and a couple of times even more. Unfortunately the trees were not very accommodating when they seeded and didn't do so a uniform 17' apart.
With a 16' separation, I have measured that we wrap the tree huggers over 5', about 5' 4" to 5' 6", above the ground. By standing back and eyeballing the hammock and where the hammock angle would cross the tree without the ridge line, it would do so above my head. Very close to 7'. At 18', it would be higher than I can reach. If now we had to settle for that 20' separation, we would be physically incapable of hanging the hammocks. We could never wrap the tree huggers high enough to keep the hammock off the ground without a ridge line. Even with the ridge line, the hammocks end up closer to the ground than we like.
I notice on Youngblood's diagram, he projects the 30 deg suspension angle out to 18' and it is already up to 6' 8". I can reach high enough for that, but my girlfriend would need a ladder. I would be willing to bet that a lot of people would besides her.
The ridge line lets us use wider separation and thus gives us a lot broader site selection. By limiting us to separations of say 14' to 18' max, we would have to choose less than desirable sites at times. Not often, but then why limit ourselves artificially when the ridge line frees us from that?
Anyway. I like ridge lines and wouldn't have a hammock without one.
Fortunately modern technology is such that we can have them with no problem.
I am more than willing to use modern technology if it makes my life easier and better. Having said that I still keep my cell phone turned off 98% of the time

What Is ASP.NETby Wei-Meng Lee, author of ASP.NET: A Developer's Notebook
- ASP.NET (Active Server Pages .NET) is a web development technology from Microsoft. Part of the .NET Framework, ASP.NET allows developers to build dynamic web applications and web services using compiled languages like VB.NET and C#. Using Visual Studio, the development tool from Microsoft, web developers can develop very compelling applications using ASP.NET, with the ease of drag-and-drop server controls. Currently in its next major release, ASP.NET 2.0 is slated to be released in November 2005.
In This Article:
- A Brief History of ASP.NET
- How ASP.NET Works
- What Do You Need to Run ASP.NET?
- Visual Studio and ASP.NET
- ASP.NET Improvements
- New Features in ASP.NET 2.0
- Summary
In the early days of the Web, the contents of web pages were largely static. Pages needed to be constantly, and manually, modified. To create websites that were dynamic and would update automatically, a number of server-side technologies sprouted up, including Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP). ASP executed on the server side, with its output sent to the user's web browser, thus allowing the server to generate dynamic web pages based on the actions of the user.
These server-side technologies are important contributions to the development of the Web. Without them, web applications that we've become accustomed to today, such as Amazon.com, eBay.com, and so on, would not be possible. In this article, I will delve into ASP.NET, with a look at what it is, how it works, and the newest important features of 2.0.
A Brief History of ASP.NET
Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP) started its life as a public beta (v1.0) in October 1996 as an upgrade to Internet Information Server (IIS) 2.0. From that point on, ASP slowly evolved into version 2.x, and then finally 3.0. In the initial three versions, ASP used a scripting language, VBScript, as the default language. Using a scripting language has its flaws; code is interpreted rather than compiled, and using VBScript as the default language turned some people off (though technically you can configure ASP to use other languages such as JScript and Perl, but this was not commonly done). This interpreted code model of ASP seriously limited performance.
In early 2000, Microsoft introduced the new .NET Framework, and together with it, introduced the upgrade of ASP: ASP.NET 1.0 (previously known as ASP+). Over the last few years, ASP.NET has gone through a few evolutions, from ASP.NET 1.0 to 1.1, and now to ASP.NET 2.0, due to be released at the end of this year (November 2005).
In ASP.NET, you are not limited to scripting languages. You can now use the following .NET languages:

How ASP.NET Works
When a web browser requests a page from a web server, the web server (IIS) will first check if the request is for an HTML page. If it is, the request is fulfilled by fetching the files from the OS and then returning it to the client (web browser). If the client is requesting an ASP.NET page, IIS will pass the request to the ASP.NET runtime, which will then process the application and return the output to the client.
ASP.NET pages use the .aspx extension. This is to ensure that ASP.NET is able to run side by side with classic ASP on the same server, which uses the extension .asp.
One of the inherent problems with the HTTP protocol is its stateless nature. Put simply, a request made by a user is loaded into memory, fulfilled, and then unloaded. Subsequent requests by the same user are treated just like any request; the server makes no attempt to remember what the user has previously requested. This stateless nature makes writing web applications a challenge, because the application developer must explicitly devise mechanisms to enable the server to remember the previous state of the application. Several mechanisms have been devised over the years, such as cookies and the use of query strings for passing information to and from the server and the client.
In classic ASP, you typically need to write pages of code in order to preserve the state of the page after the user has posted a value back to the server. In ASP.NET, all of these mundane tasks (collectively known as state management) are accomplished by the ASP.NET runtime. You will learn more on this in the following sections.

79 FE coupe
Posted 09 September 2005 - 12:28 AM
first question; what is an fe? the only thing i could figure out is that the compresssion seems to be higher then other models of that year. it is well appointed with sunroof, louvered rear, etc. is it a Fuel Efficient model? now my confession. I bought this perfect running subaru to convert to full electric power. I chose this car because of its light weight, front wheel drive, lack of engine driven accesories, man tran and because i have always loved gen 1 subarus (my first was a 77 4wd wagon that my dad gave me to learn to drive on and i subsequently and regrettably beat the living snot out of on the skidder trails at our forest home)
this may offend some purists who think i should keep it stock, be assured though that the decision was well thought out and keep in mind that after putting BUCKS into this car it will be more likely to be well maintained and live a long and prosperous life as quite probably the worlds only zero emission gen 1 subaru.
i would love to see all the awesome extra parts i don't need find a good home
-engine with weber 2 bl (32-36) carb in great running condition -minus the flywheel and possibly the throttle linkage or some other brackets and such, i'll repost the exact info after the conversion is complete
-fuel tank with sender (entire fuel system) basically everything associated with internal combustion like
-entire original exhaust system
-radiator and fan
everything is in great shape, all the bolts easily came out, almost lept out with electric vehicle anticipation. so please respond with any info regarding the FE, any interest in the parts, helpful tidbits, or what have you and thanks for reading my post. at
Posted 09 September 2005 - 05:27 AM
I'm sure Paul (moosens) and subaru3 will pop in to give you some info. These 2 are pretty world class knowledgable guys on the gen 1's.
Posted 09 September 2005 - 02:47 PM
Posted 09 September 2005 - 05:52 PM
I'll make the trip up soon too,not that I have an extra excuse.
I'll email you through this board.Thanks,
Posted 09 September 2005 - 05:58 PM
i was gonna grab this stuff for caboobaru`s wagon:banghead:
Posted 09 September 2005 - 05:58 PM
75 Jon,I see you looking in!!!
Rattle-you're in the wrong Portland,buddy!
Email sent,
PM sent....hope to hear from you soon.
Posted 09 September 2005 - 06:00 PM
Oh MAN!
i was gonna grab this stuff for caboobaru`s wagon:banghead:
Uhh,last I heard from him I was going to have Mudrat go by and get it.I thought Russ and I had that in the works and I was waiting to hear more from him.....but I do have my hands full,and Mudrat sure does too....Still,I'd like to see it make its way east regardless.We'll talk.

As for the coupe, sounds like a great project! I'm excited to see what becomes of it since I have done a couple electric cars before with people that work at Hewlett Packard.
Posted 10 September 2005 - 12:14 PM
hey guys, its kinda a first come, first serve deal. If someone can get it trailered away, that is the most ideal thing for me. I do know that if it makes its way east, it would definatly be going to a good home. Paul kinda has dibs but if he has no way to get it, then 75subie will get it and if no one gets it, well.....
As for the coupe, sounds like a great project! I'm excited to see what becomes of it since I have done a couple electric cars before with people that work at Hewlett Packard.
I think the best thing to do,unless Jon can get it whole,is to have our good buddy Mudrat fill his hands even more so as to part what we need and ship it...with my wheels he's had stored for me.John(Mudrat) is a good guy.Sure he's under fire,but I'm also behind on evening up with at least 3 or four board members.I am trusting Mudrat can at least get the car to his place and get things going.
Jon in NY,if you can cover the transport then go ahead.I'd rather see it whole than get some parts off of it.I've got most of what I really need already.
I'm busy right after I get off the computer but let's try to talk over the rest of the weekend.Later on sometime Jon in NY,please call me as I didn't keep your number handy....I'll make the west coast calls later to Mudrat and Russ if I have his number.Gott go,see you later...

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court issued a split decision June 25 in its long-awaited ruling on the controversial Arizona immigration law strongly opposed by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
The court, voting 5-3, with Justice Elena Kagan abstaining, let stand the state's requirement that Arizona law enforcement request proof of immigration status for anyone they arrest or stop if they have reason to suspect they are in the country illegally.
Writing for the majority in Arizona v. United States, Justice Anthony Kennedy stated that the provision could be understood as merely requiring law enforcement "to conduct a status check during the course of an authorized, lawful detention or after a detainee has been released." Under this interpretation, it "likely would survive pre-emption — at least absent some showing that it has other consequences that are adverse to federal law and its objectives."
But the Supreme Court overturned two other provisions that criminalized an individual's failure to carry documentation of immigration status or to possess work papers if they held a job here. A third provision was also struck down that permitted state officers to make an arrest without warrant if they suspected an individual had committed a deportable offense.
While the bishops' conference welcomed the ruling as a generally positive step for vulnerable immigrant groups, constitutional scholars viewed the decision as a strong affirmation of the federal government's role in setting immigration policy. Meanwhile, immigration activists argued that the surviving provision of the state law had barely passed muster and predicted that pending legal challenges would likely strike that down in the future.
"The national government has significant power to regulate immigration," Kennedy wrote for the majority. "With power comes responsibility, and the sound exercise of national power over immigration depends on the nation's meeting its responsibility to base its laws on a political will informed by searching, thoughtful, rational civic discourse."
"Arizona may have understandable frustrations with the problems caused by illegal immigration while that process continues, but the state may not pursue policies that undermine federal law," stated Kennedy, upholding the federal government's power to pre-empt state policies on immigration.
Justice Kennedy noted that Arizona was understandably concerned about addressing the disproportionately high rate of crime associated with illegal immigrants, citing data showing that they constituted 8.9% of the population in the state's Maricopa County but committed 21.8% of the felonies.
Kennedy was joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor. The three remaining Catholic justices on the high court, Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito Jr., would have sustained two or three of the provisions that were struck down.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, long a passionate advocate for the rights of immigrants and for comprehensive immigration reform, issued a response to the ruling that signaled cautious optimism. The statement noted that the conference had filed an amicus brief in the case.
"While we are concerned with the court's decision to lift the injunction on Section 2 (B) of the law, we are encouraged that the court did not rule it constitutional," stated Archbishop José Gomez of Los Angeles, chairman of the bishops' Committee on Migration, underscoring the fact that the provision could still be overturned in a subsequent legal challenge. "As we articulated in our amicus brief, the implementation of this provision could lead to the separation of families and undermine the Church's ability to minister to the immigrant population."
"We stand in solidarity with our brother bishops in Arizona as they prepare to respond to the implementation of this provision and its potential human consequences," read Archbishop Gomez's statement.
The Los Angeles archbishop vowed that the Catholic Church in the United States would continue to fight for humane and just reform of the nation's immigration system. Congress, he asserted, should "assume its responsibility and enact comprehensive immigration reform."
"The U.S. Catholic bishops across the nation will urge their state governments to not pursue laws such as in Arizona, but, rather, to pursue humane reform on the federal level," Archbishop Gomez said. "Humane enforcement of our nation's laws is part of any solution, but enforcement by itself, unjustly administered, only leads to abuses and family breakdown."
Kevin Appleby, the USCCB's point man on immigration policy, confirmed that the conference viewed the ruling as "a positive decision for us. Three harsh provisions were pre-empted by the federal government's authority to set immigration law."
As for the surviving provision, Appleby noted that the high court reserved the right to strike it down on other grounds in the future. "It was a warning shot across Arizona's bow, saying, 'If you implement this, it could be struck down.' They said they didn't have the evidence to rule on its constitutionality."
Ed Whelan, the president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, a Washington-based think tank, and a constitutional expert who writes commentaries on legal issues at the Bench Memos blog, stressed that the high court's ruling reaffirmed the federal government's dominant role in setting immigration policy.
"The majority found that the three provisions conflicted with federal law," said Whelan. "The majority's approach gives states very little leeway to compensate for the federal government's ineffective enforcement of the immigration laws."
Karen Tumlin, managing attorney of the Los Angeles-based National Immigration Law Center, said the advocacy group was "both heartened and disappointed at the same time. The court has said immigration is an area that is an exclusive federal domain that leaves little room for the state to engage," said Tumlin in an interview.
At present, other legal challenges to the Arizona law brought by groups like the National Immigration Law Center are still wending their way through the courts, and Tumlin held out hope that the surviving provision will ultimately be overturned.
"We believe there is no way to implement this provision in a way that is race-neutral," she charged. "There is no way to determine, based on sight and sound, who should be here and who should not."
But for now, at least, Arizona Republican Gov. Jan Brewer welcomed the high court's ruling as a "victory for the rule of law." The ruling, she said, was also a victory "for the 10th Amendment [of the U.S. Constitution] and all Americans who believe in the inherent right and responsibility of states to defend their citizens."
Added Brewer: "After more than two years of legal challenges, the heart of S.B. 1070 (the state law) can now be implemented in accordance with the U.S. Constitution."
The Justice Department had filed suit to block the Arizona law, arguing that the federal government, not the states, had the right to make immigration law.
However, Mitt Romney, the presumptive GOP presidential candidate, has vowed that, if elected, he would "drop those lawsuits on day one" of his administration.
The Republican Party leadership has struggled to navigate the complicated politics of immigration reform, with deep divisions complicating the GOP's stance on the issue during an election year. Romney's recent speech to the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) was low-key and did not break new ground.
President Barack Obama has continued to draw strong support from Hispanics, who overwhelmingly supported him in the 2008 presidential election. But experts caution that this backing may not translate into a victory for the incumbent, as Hispanics will likely not play a role in deciding the outcome for crucial swing states.
This year, the Justice Department announced that it would focus on the deportation of illegal immigrants with criminal records and related violations and allow other undocumented workers to remain in the country.
Earlier last month, three days after 150 evangelical Christian leaders called for Congress to overcome gridlock and forge a bipartisan solution to immigration reform, Obama issued a temporary stay on the deportation of young people who were brought to this country illegally as children if they met certain conditions. Romney quickly issued a statement noting that it was not a permanent solution, but he did not directly attack the decision.
Justice Scalia, in his dissent from the majority, noted the president's recent action as a source for further concern about confusing signals on U.S. immigration policy that have complicated the enforcement efforts of states struggling to deal with illegal immigration.
"After this case was argued and while it was under consideration," he said, "the secretary of Homeland Security announced a program exempting from immigration enforcement some 1.4 million illegal immigrants," wrote Justice Scalia.
"The president has said that the new program is 'the right thing to do' in light of Congress' failure to pass the administration's proposed revision of the immigration laws," Justice Scalia noted. "Perhaps it is, though Arizona may not think so. But to say, as the court does, that Arizona contradicts federal law by enforcing applications of federal immigration law that the president declines to enforce boggles the mind."
After the ruling, the president and Romney, who was campaigning in Arizona, both expressed hope that Congress would act. "What this decision makes unmistakably clear is that Congress must act on comprehensive immigration reform," Obama said. "A patchwork of state laws is not a solution to our broken immigration system; it's part of the problem," stated Obama, who echoed concerns that the provision sustained in the ruling might lead to racial profiling.
Romney's response focused on the states' frustrations with a broken immigration system.
"I believe that each state has the duty, and the right, to secure our borders and preserve the rule of law, particularly when the federal government has failed to meet its responsibilities," said Romney.
Last year, soon after the Arizona law was passed, the bishops' conference issued a statement attacking its provisions as "draconian." Implementation of the law could result in the "wrongful questioning and arrest of U.S. citizens and permanent residents as well as the division of families, parents from children and husbands from wives," read the statement issued by Bishop John Wester of Salt Lake City, then-chairman of the bishops' Committee on Migration. "It certainly would lead to the rise in fear and distrust in immigrant communities, undermining the relationships between their members and law enforcement officials."
In that statement, Bishop Wester echoed the Arizona bishops' objections to the law: "This new law, although limited to the state of Arizona, could have impact throughout the nation, in terms of how members of our immigrant communities are both perceived and treated."
But he acknowledged that the Arizona law "is symptomatic of the absence of federal leadership on the issue of immigration." The U.S. bishops, he said, continue to urge "the administration and Congress to work in a bipartisan manner to enact comprehensive immigration reform as soon as possible."

Interesting stuff.
I don't know how to embed videos because I am a bad human being.
Interesting stuff.
I don't know how to embed videos because I am a bad human being.
That's some wide angle stuff there. Nothing ground breaking, but I hope he got the coaches' permission before throwing any of that up. Usually coaches hate it when practice video gives away formations.
Pretty sure rich rod is in those videos
I'm pretty sure you mean gorgeous shaped body.
Hey man, the pear is a beautiful and elegant fruit.
Evidence: In the second video notice the really bad missed tackles and an beautifully haired man come running into the screen (I assume with some sort of beaver)
Correction: You can see Borges and Hoke in a few of them as well. A bit surprising, though not much is actually seen in any of the videos that other teams wouldn't already know, I wouldn't be surprised to see these videos taken down soon.
a Tate Forcier
This is the closest look yet I've had at a Michigan practice. Better get comfy and watch them all a few times before they disappear.
Damn, I'm midway through the first video and thought it was pure football porn until I realized why the defense was so horrible.
Ol' #40 can't seem to catch a break. And #4 exists to get pummeled.
I assume he's sending these around trying to get a Russell Wilson 5th year scholarship somewhere? Or would signing on with an NFL/CFL/Arena League team be the play here?
I think most if not all the clips of him wearing 8 are from the RR era.
We will always have the dream shake.
I've always thought that the hilarious part of this video is the fact that everyone got excited about his juke in the backfield...and everyone always ignored him tripping over air at the end of the run and falling on his face. It begins like he's awesome and ends like he's a klutz, but everyone's conclusion was "He's going to be sweet!"
Since Robinson graduated and has one year of eligiblity left, I'm wondering if Coach Hoke signed off on him using some of these clips as a highlight reel since he didn't play much. Perhaps this is part of his campaign to get a scholarship elsewhere and play his final season of eligibility.
He will have had to graduated in order to transfer to FBS, otherwise he could only transfer to FCS & still be able to play.
Unless I'm mistaken, he did graduate.
Sweet Jesus, look at Cam Gordon getting torched... It drives me effing crazy watching him play strongside linebacker (basically a defensive end) and to think that Rich Rodriguez started him at free safety. Ugh.
I heard Russell Bellomy is going to replace Devin Gardner as Denard's backup.
wow that Mike Williams...not so good at the football tackling thing
..two other guys that don't look so good in those individual drills...Cullen Christian and JT Turner.
I could only stomach a few minutes of the first video I watched because of how badly Cullen Christian was getting torched. It was like trying to watch a bad American Idol audition (or any American Idol audition for that matter)...
He has gotten some praise during the Pitt reports this Spring, so maybe not having Gibby as his position coach will help him improve.
I think our entire secondary got better the second Gibby left campus. There were always rumors that our secondary would perform better around lunch time when Gibby ran out to grab a burger, and the secondary's best game of the season two years ago was when he was home sick with the flu. These videos practically confirm it.. all of it.
I think he was too busy chewing tobacco to really care what was going on in the football game.
I was watching #24 get smoked and thinking Holowell isn't too good...forgot about Christian.
I'm not sure better coaching will even help Cullen become a good player.
None of these things are surprising, except maybe the Cullen Christian thing. I'll be interested to watch him if he starts. I don't think he is a starter-level player for a team like Michigan, but maybe in the Big East...
He's not going say "yea, that's my boy Cullen Christian...one of my good friends here at PITT, but he sucks at CB and needs to move to safety if he ever wants to see the field."
I'm just saying...if it's his friend and his teammate, don't you all think his view of Christian's game could be skewed?
I'm not saying he's wrong...I'm just saying, consider the source.
...but he didn't say (or at least you didn't share with us) that he's close friends with Vinopal.
Denard is wearing a prototype of next year's away uniform. Maize on maize.
We ain't talkin' 'bout the game, we talkin' 'bout practice.
in that first vid.
These make me ill.

Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund
This document provides general information regarding the Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund (DWSRF) and North Dakota's DWSRF Program. Questions regarding the DWSRF may be directed to the Division of Municipal Facilities at 701.328.5211.
The DWSRF was authorized by the U.S. Congress under the 1996 Amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). The Amendments authorize the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to provide federal funds to the states to capitalize DWSRFs through the year 2003. States are required to provide a 20% match for the federal funds. DWSRFs are established and managed by the states. The overall purpose of the DWSRF is to assist public water systems (PWSs) in financing the costs of drinking water infrastructure needed to achieve or maintain compliance with the SDWA, and to protect public health.
The North Dakota DWSRF is jointly managed by the North Dakota Department of Health (Health Department) and the North Dakota Municipal Bond Bank (Bond Bank). The Health Department receives the federal capitalization grants, and is responsible for the technical and overall administrative functions of the program. The Bond Bank, under agreement with the Health Department, serves as the financial agent, and is responsible for the preparation and issuance of bonds, reviewing the financial capability of loan applicants, investing program proceeds, handling loan repayments, and other necessary financial functions.
Each year, the Health Department submits a capitalization grant application to the EPA. When the grant is approved, the Bond Bank issues bonds in an amount sufficient to meet the states's 20% match requirement. The Bond Bank may also issued leveraged bonds, the proceeds of which may be used to fund loans, if loan demand exceeds the amount of grant and state match funds available for loans.
The grant funds and bond proceeds are deposited into the DWSRF and made available as low-interest loans for eligible PWS projects. As systems pay back their loans, the interest and principal payments, along with available investment earnings, are used to retire the state bonds and as a source of funds for additional projects. This revolving feature of the DWSRF program will ensure that North Dakota has funds for needed projects into the future.
If there are insufficient funds available to make scheduled principal and interest payments on outstanding DWSRF bonds when payments are due, available excess revenues from the Clean Water SRF (CWSRF) may be transferred to the DWSRF bond fund to meet the deficiency. Following such a transfer, the DWSRF has an obligation to reimburse the CWSRF with future available DWSRF excess revenues.
The present loan interest rate for eligible PWSs that qualify for tax-exempt financing is 2.5 percent. The present loan interest rate for eligible PWSs that do not qualify for tax-exempt financing is 4.0 percent. All loans are subject to a 0.5% administration fee. The maximum repayment period for DWSRF loans under the SDWA is 20 years.
There is considerable flexibility in how DWSRF funds can be used. DWSRF funds may be used for: loans; loan guarantees; as a source of reserve and security for leveraged loans (proceeds of which must be placed in the DWSRF); to buy or refinance existing local debt obligations (publicly-owned systems only) where the initial debt was incurred and construction started after July 1, 1993; and, to earn interest prior to disbursement of assistance. DWSRF assistance to date has consisted entirely of loans, including several refinancing loans. Future assistance is expected to consist primarily of loans for new project construction.
A portion of the DWSRF funds may also be used for federally-authorized nonproject or set-aside activities such as: administration (up to 4%); state environmental program assistance (up to 10%); small system (less than 10,000 population) technical assistance (up to 2%); local assistance and other state programs including the delineation and assessment of source water protection areas (up to 10% for any one activity with a maximum of 15% for all activities combined); and, subsidized loans to disadvantaged communities as defined by the state and agreed to by the EPA (up to 30%). To the extent that there are a sufficient number of eligible projects, at least 15% of the available funds must be annually used to provide project loan assistance to eligible PWSs that serve fewer than 10,000 persons. Available funds constitute the total annual allotment, including the required 20% state match, minus funds dedicated to the above set-asides (excluding the set-aside for disadvantaged communities).
The overall philosophy of the Health Department is to maximize the availability of DWSRF funds for project construction. Therefore, with the exception of fiscal year 1997, only two set-asides have been established which are considered essential for the DWSRF and SDWA programs, DWSRF administration (4%) and small system technical assistance (2%). Ten percent of the fiscal year 1997 DWSRF allotment was set aside to assist the Health Department in completing the delineation and assessment of source water protection areas, a new activity required of states under the 1996 SDWA Amendments. Fiscal year 1997 was the only year that DWSRF funds could be set aside for this purpose. The funds for this set-aside must be expended prior to May 2003. The Health Department intends to transfer any unused funds from this set-aside to the project loan fund on or prior to May 2003.
PWSs eligible for DWSRF assistance include community water systems, both publicly- and privately-owned, and nonprofit noncommunity water systems. Federally-owned PWSs are not eligible to receive DWSRF assistance. Community water systems are PWSs which serve at least 15 service connections used by year-round residents or regularly serve at least 25 year-round residents. Noncommunity water systems are PWSs that primarily provide service to other than year-round residents. Examples of nonprofit noncommunity water systems that are eligible for DWSRF assistance include schools and publicly-owned campgrounds, parks, and rest areas.
Although there are some exclusions, there is considerable flexibility in the types of projects and project-related costs that are eligible for DWSRF assistance. A DWSRF program may provide assistance only for expenditures of a type or category which will facilitate compliance or otherwise significantly further health protection under the SDWA. Attachment 1 depicts the types of projects and project-related costs that are both eligible and ineligible for DWSRF assistance.
There are a number of federal laws, executive orders, and government-wide policies that apply to projects and activities receiving federal financial assistance, regardless of whether the federal laws authorizing the assistance make them applicable. These federal authorities are referred to as cross-cutting authorities or cross-cutters. The cross-cutters apply to projects and activities whose cumulative funding equals the amount of the DWSRF capitalization grant.
The cross-cutters can be divided into three groups: environmental; social policies; and, economic and miscellaneous authorities. Environmental cross-cutters include federal laws and executive orders that relate to preservation of historical and archaeological sites, endangered species, wetlands, agricultural land, and the like. Social policy cross-cutters include requirements such as minority and women's business enterprise participation goals, equal opportunity employment goals, and nondiscrimination laws. Economic cross-cutters directly regulate the expenditure of federal funds such as the prohibition against entering into contracts with debarred or suspended firms. Attachment 2 includes a complete listing of the cross-cutters.
States are required to develop an annual Intended Use Plan (IUP) for the DWSRF, and provide it to the public for review and comment before submitting it to the EPA as part of its capitalization grant application. The IUP must include, among other things, a description of how the DWSRF funds will be used, a priority ranking system which meets the SDWA and EPA guidelines, a comprehensive project priority list based on the ranking system, project bypass criteria, and a fundable list. The fundable list represents the highest-ranked projects from the comprehensive project priority list that are anticipated to receive loan assistance in the first year following the grant award. In determining funding priority, states are required to ensure, to the maximum extent practical, that priority use of DWSRF funds be given to projects that: 1) address the most serious risks to human health; 2) are necessary to ensure compliance under the SDWA; and 3) assist systems most in need on a per household basis (i.e., affordability).
The Health Department developed a priority ranking system for the DWSRF which has been approved by the EPA. The priority ranking system is a 100-point system consisting of the following criteria and point assignments:
Water Quality (maximum points limited to 35)
Water Quantity (maximum of 20 points)
Affordability (maximum of 15 points)
Infrastructure Adequacy (maximum points limited to 15)
Consolidation or Regionalization of Water Supplies (maximum of 10 points)
Operator Safety (maximum of 5 points)
To qualify for potential DWSRF assistance, a project must be eligible, ranked, and included on the comprehensive project priority list within an IUP. Once identified in an IUP, a project can be approved for assistance based upon its ranking and the availability of funds. Under certain conditions, lower-ranked projects can be funded ahead of higher-ranked projects. The conditions under which a higher-ranked project can be bypassed are included in the IUP, and include such criteria as readiness to proceed. While an application can be processed and preliminary work completed in advance, no assistance can be approved for nor any funds transferred to a system until their project is identified in a finalized IUP.
The Health Department prepares the required annual IUP for public review and comment in the fall of each year. In the spring of each year, a letter of interest is sent to all potential DWSRF loan recipients asking for information regarding new drinking water projects for which they may be interested in pursuing DWSRF assistance. Systems that respond are provided a project ranking questionnaire. Eligible projects for which ranking questionnaires are returned are ranked and included on the comprehensive project priority list as part of the IUP development process. Following public review and comment, the IUP is finalized and subsequently included in the grant application to the EPA.
Once the IUP is finalized, systems with projects on the fundable list may apply for DWSRF assistance. Systems with projects on the comprehensive project priority list but not on the fundable list may also apply. They should not do so, however, before contacting the Health Department to discuss the fundability of the project based upon its ranking, availability of funds, and other assistance requests. Application packages can be obtained by writing or calling the Health Department. The address and telephone number are:
North Dakota Department of Health
Depending on the complexity of the project, the Health Department may schedule a meeting when contacted for a DWSRF application package. At this meeting, a representative of the Health Department will explain the program, answer any questions that the system may have, and assist the system as needed. Upon completion, a full copy of the application needs to be sent to both the Health Department and the Bond Bank. The Health Department assesses the applicant's technical and managerial capability and ensures that other programmatic requirements are met. The Bond Bank reviews the financial information and assesses the applicant's financial capability The system will be promptly notified if additional information is needed.
Eligible PWSs will typically require the services of a consulting engineer and bond counsel. The engineer is responsible for preparing all required technical documents. These include, but may not be limited to, the facility plan, plans and specifications, bidding documents, and the operation and maintenance manual. The engineer also provides onsite inspection services during construction to ensure quality control and construction in accordance with the approved plans and specifications. The Health Department will work closely with the system's engineer to ensure compliance with federal and state requirements. The Bond Bank will work with the system's bond counsel to ensure that all legal and financial requirements are met.
The typical DWSRF project consists of three steps: planning, design, and construction. In the planning step, a facility plan is prepared. A facility plan is a planning document that describes existing conditions, identifies current problems, projects future conditions at the design year, and evaluates alternatives to solve the existing problems and meet future needs. The evaluation of alternatives includes both a cost effectiveness analysis and an environmental assessment. The purpose of the facility plan is to identify the most cost effective and environmentally sound solution to the problem(s). The facility plan must be approved by the Health Department before the project can proceed to the next step, the design step.
After the facility plan is approved, plans, specifications, and bidding documents are prepared based on the recommended alternative from the facility plan. These technical documents must comply with, among other things, Minority Business Enterprise/Women Business Enterprise (MBE/WBE) and Equal Employment Opportunity requirements. Once the documents have been approved by the Health Department, the project can be advertised and bids opened. If the bids are acceptable, the construction contract must be awarded to the low, responsive, responsible bidder following Health Department approval. Construction can commence at the system's convenience following Health Department approval.
After award of the construction contract, the Health Department will attend the preconstruction meeting with the system and contractor to explain the construction-related requirements that must be complied with and to answer any questions that arise. The Health Department will also conduct periodic interim inspections during the construction phase of the project. Since DWSRF loans are cost reimbursable, construction and other eligible project-related costs must be incurred before the system can receive payments. Once costs are incurred, the system should submit periodic payment requests to the Health Department for processing. The system should receive payment within two weeks of receipt of the payment request by the Health Department. When construction is completed, the Health Department will conduct a final inspection to verify compliance with federal requirements, verify that the project was constructed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications, and to establish final project costs.
Principal payments on the loan must begin no later than one year after construction is completed and the project is declared operational. Principal payments are typically scheduled for September 1 of each year following project completion. Interest accrues beginning with the first loan draw, and is payable during construction typically on each March 1 and September 1. The Bond Bank will work with the system to establish the repayment schedule as part of the loan closing process.

DS1 is 2.5 years old, and still nursing. DS2 was born 3.5 weeks ago, and DS1 is thrilled that mommy's milk is back. Unfortunately, he's gotten very lackadaisical about his latch -- he frequently only has the nipple in his mouth, which feels very yucky. I pop him off and remind him he needs a big mouthful of boob, and he'll relatch appropriately, but then quickly slides down to just nipple again.
Any tips on how to get DS1 to latch properly? Or am I already doing it?

MIDWAY | Midway leaders have decided to purchase land they feel will be enough for the town for years to come.
MIDWAY | Midway leaders have decided to purchase land they feel will be enough for the town for years to come.
The Midway Town Council agreed this week to purchase 37.53 acres at 426 Gumtree Road, property that's owned by Rodney and Donna Thomas. The town agreed to pay $506,235 for the land from its $3.5 million fund balance, said Ryan Ross, Midway town manager.
"It has been a smooth process," Ross said "We worked closely with the Thomases."
Town officials have been renting office space for $4,800 a year at 125 Gumtree Road and utilizing the Midway Volunteer Fire Department for its council meetings. The property comes with a 1,500-square-foot house, eight outbuildings and a tree farm. Ross said the town has plans of moving its office space to the house in about seven months. However, there are no immediate plans for the tree farm, he said.
"Obviously, that's land we will use for many years to come," the town manager said. "It's an older house that is still in very good shape."
The house will serve the town's needs. Its current office space is between 600 and 700 square feet, Ross said.
The town manager said council meetings will continue to be held at the Midway Volunteer Fire Department until a new town hall is built on the property. Ross said it would be at least 5 to 10 years until Midway has a newly constructed town hall or greenways or parks on the property.
"I don't see us needing any more land than that," Ross said. "I don't think we are going to outgrow that land. That definitely played a part of getting it."
The town has had a land search committee since 2009. The town considered a number of properties before being approached by the Thomases.
"Financially, the town is in good shape," Ross said. "But we are not going to jump into something immediately."
Midway Councilman Mike McAlpine, the mayor pro tem, has been a member of the land search committee. He said the council has not been in a rush with the getting land. McAlpine said the town council has tried to save its money and do things methodically.
"We are a very conservative council," McAlpine said.
McAlpine said citizen input will come first regarding the land.
"It's not one of my desires to build a town hall right now," he said. "My goal is to develop the property, do fact-finding and research the full developmental potential of the greenways and parks on this (land)."

Batavia's last two games were matching 1-0 Upstate Eight Conference River wins against Geneva and Larkin.
Given the twin shutouts, Bulldogs coach Mark Gianfrancesco is naturally thrilled with his back line, but he said the 160 minutes of scoreless frustration for opponents carries plenty of credit to go around.
"I think it's a team thing, though, I don't think it's just those four guys," Gianfrancesco said. "I think all of them are kind of sitting back, defending, waiting for a missed pass or turnover or something, and we're really doing a nice job of transitioning [to offense] out of that."
Batavia's defensive success has come despite the recent absence of sophomore Nathan Carey, a usual starter, who is recovering from a concussion.
Senior Joe Leiferman earned praise from Gianfrancesco for his performance filling in for Carey, joining other Batavia starting defenders Chase Correll, Nick Samperi and Nick Konopacki. Goalkeepers John Faraone and Nick Foster have continued to split time in net for the Bulldogs.
It's a group that naturally has gained swagger from its recent success – just not too much, Gianfrancesco hopes.
"We're stringing [shutouts] together, which is nice, but we'll see how it goes," Gianfrancesco said. "Hopefully they're not too comfortable."
Especially on Friday, when Batavia will put its shutout streak on the line in a stiff non-conference test against Wheaton Academy. The Warriors are coming off a 3-0 blanking of Geneva.
"They've got a nice team, a physical team, a pretty quick team," Gianfrancesco said of Wheaton Academy. "They definitely take advantage off the opportunities they have, so it'll be a nice test for us. We're looking forward to that."
The Bulldogs can wrap up second place in the UEC River on Tuesday if they are able to beat St. Charles North as part of a doubleheader at Geneva.
Streaking Rockets
Tuesday's 3-0 win over Genoa-Kingston marked the seventh straight win for Burlington Central, which improved to 9-1 on the season and 6-0 in Big Northern Conference East action.
The Rockets' Alan Camarena has scored four goals in the team's last two matches.
Local showdown on tap
St. Charles East and Marmion are due to meet at 4:30 p.m. today in the final round of pool play at St. Charles East's tournament. The teams tied when they met in the tournament in 2012.
After today, matchups will be determined for Saturday's final round of the tournament, which culminates with the championship match at 12 p.m.
– Jay Schwab, email@example.com
Grant Rougas, Wheaton Academy, Jr., M
What he did: Rougas scored two goals Tuesday in the Warriors' 3-0 non-conference win against Geneva, which is Rougas' hometown.
Ian Larson, Batavia, Jr., M
What he did: Larson earns the nod for the second straight week, and how could he not after scoring the lone goal of the match with only 11 seconds left to give the Bulldogs a 1-0 win against Geneva on Thursday.
Geneva's French exchange student is making himself at home in Kane County.
Igor Honore continued his strong play Monday, scoring two of the Vikings' four goals in a home victory against Kaneland.
Which Tri-Cities teams show well at this year's annual Tri-City Shootout doubleheader.
Batavia takes on St. Charles North in the first match of the doubleheader before host Geneva faces powerhouse St. Charles East in the 7 p.m. nightcap.
St. Charles East is putting its money where its mouth is this season.
The Saints said they'd be just fine even without stud scorer T.C. Hull this season, and East has been just that, turning in an even more dominant regular season so far than the Saints staged in 2012.
It's scary to think of just how devastating this team would be with a healthy Hull, but it's becoming pretty clear that East is a bona fide state championship contender with the group it has now.

Ok guys, I recently recieved the hardware needed to start my complete jato sand drag build. After my recent turkey lunch, I'm torn on weather to pull it out and begin build, or just take a nap. Lol.
The purpose of this build is as follows:
Take all pre exsisting traxxas jato parts and create a new toy with many different functions without selling out to the electric world. I own and occasionally enjoy the dc cars but truly enjoy the realistic approach of a NITRO POWERED funny car.
This build is somewhat different from slayer17's by retaining a full jato suspension front and rear along with retaining the stock track width of a jato.
I feel these features will work better for me in pursuit of sand or mud drag racing. This build will use a stock 3.3 AND show the clean fit of my picco .28 big block.
Ok. Enough. I'm headed out into shop to get started.
FASTEST "recorded/proven" JATO'S-3.3 AND Big block
Here is a pic of the chassis guys.
FASTEST "recorded/proven" JATO'S-3.3 AND Big block
Here is some pics of progress I made today. I'm building this car from ground up, not robing any parts from any of my other Jato's. I'll b using brand new parts for every piece. Although it would be very cost effective to utilize a rtr jato, I already have all new parts for this build. I'm OCD!!! Lol.
Completed entire front end setup
This pic shows how a stock front bumper was trimmed for clearance. Reason for this will be explained later.
FASTEST "recorded/proven" JATO'S-3.3 AND Big block
Not back track but I forgot to post pic of complete hardware package.
Engine mount shown in bottom left will give me optional big block mounting. Yeahhhh!!
FASTEST "recorded/proven" JATO'S-3.3 AND Big block
Thought I'd be the first to say "AWSOME BUILD!!" Looks cool!
Is owning 27 RC's too many? No way!
Thats 3 nitro funny cars that are being built or built. Keep em coming guys we need to keep nitro alive.
Looks good. Can't wait to see it finished. What engine are you going to put in it?
Jato 3.3, Revo .28 JL Max, Nitro Stampede 3.3
Thanks guys. I know it might sound crazy but, goin with a bone stock 3.3 with easy start and all first. Just excited about firing it up with the ol wand and playin. NEXT i will pull a picco .28 out my arsenal and bump start this baby for some REAL ACTION!! Lol.
FASTEST "recorded/proven" JATO'S-3.3 AND Big block
There's nothing wrong with the 3.3. If it's nitro it's good with me

Update on today's progress.
This pic shows why stock front bumper was trimmed for funny car fuel cell while retaining front sway bar mount.
Pic of completed trans and rear assembly along with wheelie bar attached from included hardware.
Pic of included anti squat block installed. Prepares rear anti squat angle and rear toe for drag racing.
FASTEST "recorded/proven" JATO'S-3.3 AND Big block
Couldn't sleep ver well last night from thinking about this conversion. Lol. Went ahead and went out to shop to work on it.
Completed entire top plate assembly, engine assembly, and configured ez start setup. This extended conversion requires a little different ez start harness per the added length of car and relocation of starter wand placement. This conversion is designed to allow user to start the car with the body in the flipped up position without totally removing it. Being a bump start guy
With my other Jato's, I'm looking forward to using the ez start system for a change.
Good ol 3.3 with stock header and pipe.
No offense to anyone, but it just seems so tiny at home in a jato when you have gotten use to seeing a big block in there!!
This pic shows the relocation of the steering servo
Plan on heading out tommorow to start the break in process of the new 3.3. I can't wait!!
FASTEST "recorded/proven" JATO'S-3.3 AND Big block
Can you please post some video of this thing running.
Went out to drag location today to do some breaking in. After a number of cool downs, preheats, and runs, I finally got a quart through her.
Here r some pics. I LOVE THIS THING!!
Went ahead and flipped pipe over before runnin it. Can't stand the mess of breaking one in.
FASTEST "recorded/proven" JATO'S-3.3 AND Big block
That thing looks awesome. This last pick it kind of reminds me of a Jet funny car
While i can absolutely appreciate the work that went/goes into a project like this, the drag racer in me just gets confused when i see this.
Great work bringing a new one to life though, lots of work goes into the custom stuff
I'm working on something custom as well, but it isn't Traxxas so i cant talk about it here.
But it certainly takes a ton of work to get these custom builds done
Man it doesn't confuse me at all. You just need a little imagineation. What I see is a multie purpose veichile. You can bash this on the street you get tired of that put the sand tires on and drag race it or hill climb it get tired of that put paddle tires on and drag race in the mud, truck pulling. I wish I thought of that. HMMM this gives me a new idea for a new build
Its all good.
I dunno, maybe im just seeing a flopper body and wanting to see the wheels tucked.
Not disliking it, my brain just doesn't want to comprehend it
yes exactly still waiting to see a video once everything calms down up there.
Gonna vids loaded up tonight so everyone can see them.
Thanks everyone for the compliments!!!
Very few comprehend the work involved behind designing something like this. Although it appears simple n basic, there have been a number of obsticals to overcome prior to a complete working car. Takes a little more than a dremel and a hacksaw to blend this up. Lol.
FASTEST "recorded/proven" JATO'S-3.3 AND Big block
No doubt, i wish i had access to the metal working goodies to make my chassis. The custom work is gonna make or break my project.
I wish I lived in a better place for climent. I'm going to be upset when his video comes out before mine. It rained all day today. Good news. My girl freind couldn't stand to hear it any more about taking good video of these rc cars. She went out and bought me a realy good Sony HD Video camera. God Praise the Queen. Guys you know if the Queen isnt kept happy the Kingdom suffers

what chassis plate is that from ?? that is an amazing build very cool!!
that is so cool
Ok. Been promising video, just been really busy with.... Life! Ha.
Here is very first vid of RLC conversion in action. I just couldn't wait for the Sandhills so I decided to run this baby on ol school asphalt. Bone stock 3.3 off eBay with ez start attached. Both vids are running 165ft at 3500 ft above sea level with around 3800-3900 density altitude this day.
And.... Number 2 vid
I have months of testing jato chassis's with all different configurations. I was a little reluctant to crossover to the conversion. Lol. Long story short, this sucker rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ive never been able to get any drag jato, electric or nitro to track straight and repeat quite like this car. Last vid shows how well car really works. After 100 ft or so, I couldn't see the car at all, but I knew she was tracking straight. Notice how I walked away looking to find her as my buddy shined his flashlight down track so I could bring her back. Ha.
Being the first time out, I know there is ALOT left in her. Stayed tuned community, it's gonna get INTERESTING!!! LOL.
FASTEST "recorded/proven" JATO'S-3.3 AND Big block
Here is my best pass of the day. Luck would have it, didn't catch it on video. OH MAN!!!
FASTEST "recorded/proven" JATO'S-3.3 AND Big block
NICE!!!!!!....I cant wait to get mine.....sea level DA should get some great times!!!!.....my stock JATO runs 3.0@54mph in 132ft...
....looks like yours is leaving nice and straight!!!....my Jato looks like a lizard running on water going down the track on 2 wheels...lol..
Last edited by Jack@HPL; 12-09-2012 at 11:13 PM.
Thanx! Yup, that's exactly what my jato did on regular basis before conversion. Your gonna love it!!! Get ready.
FASTEST "recorded/proven" JATO'S-3.3 AND Big block
That video looks like it's launching quicker and going straighter then the electric version. Man your so lucky that you live were you do. It's raining and misirble here, still no time to get any testing done or any video taken yet of mine yet. I hope mine runs that well and goes straight and quick. I think the electric funny car guys are going to have there hands full.
Weather permitting, I'm headed out this weekend to take another stab at 165' with the ol junny car. Lol. Now that the eBay 3.3 has a little time on her, maybe she can stretch her legs a little bit.
FASTEST "recorded/proven" JATO'S-3.3 AND Big block
Well.... Here I sit. Been loaded and ready since 7am this morn. Tried goin out this morning but just WAY TOO WINDY. It's just been getting progressively worse since. I'm chomping at the bit to make more passes on this funny car. It's way too much fun!!! I'll update if wind breaks(lol) and I make any passes.

No Cases of Illness Reported
CARLSBAD, Calif., Jan. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Jenny Craig, Inc. one of the nation's leading authorities on weight management, today announced a voluntary recall of its Jenny's Cuisine(R) Anytime Peanut Butter Flavor Nutritional Bars (UPC Code 655447009347) for U.S and P.R. distribution with the following BEST BEFORE DATES: MAY1209ALO, MAY1209BLO, MAY2409BLO, MAY2509BLO, MAY2509ALO, MAY2609ALO, & MAY2609BLO, because the product contains peanut butter which was manufactured by Peanut Corporation of America (PCA), which is the focus of an ongoing Salmonella investigation by the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA). PCA is one of the suppliers of peanut ingredients to the company's contracted manufacturer.
There have been no cases of illness or adverse effects reported by any Jenny Craig customers, and no other products within the Jenny Craig food portfolio, including those made with peanut butter or other peanut ingredients are affected by this recall.

Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis. For more information on Salmonella, please visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Web site at www.cdc.gov (or call 1-800-232-4636).

Sydney Morning Herald — Sept 7, 2013
Russia will keep on supporting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government if the US launches strikes against the Middle East country, President Vladimir Putin said.
''Will we help Syria? We will,'' Putin told reporters in St Petersburg on Friday after discussing the Syrian issue with US President Barack Obama and other world leaders at the Group of 20 summit in St Petersburg.
''We are already helping them with weapons and we are cooperating in the economic and humanitarian spheres.''
Putin said on the eve of the forum that Russia may resume deliveries of advanced S-300 anti-aircraft missiles to Syria if Obama carries through on his threat to attack selected targets to punish Assad for allegedly using chemical weapons.
Earlier on Friday, Obama held an unscheduled meeting with Putin, who is Assad's ally and has questioned US evidence that the Syrian government was behind the chemical weapons attack.
The US President said the discussion was ''very straightforward'' and focused on their differences on Syria.
Obama said there's an increasing global consensus that Syria must be confronted over its use of chemical weapons and that he plans to make his case in an address to the American people next week.
''There is a growing recognition that the world cannot stand idly by'' and ''there needs to be a strong response,'' Obama said during a news conference at the close of the international summit in Russia.
Discussions over whether to support military action against Syria dominated dinner for the Group of 20 leaders and overshadowed talks on the global economy and tax policy.
Obama also faces resistance at home, where he has asked the US Congress to authorise a military strike.
Among the leaders at the G-20 meeting, ''a majority'' is comfortable with the US conclusion that Bashar al-Assad's regime is responsible for an attack on civilians last month using sarin gas, Obama said.
Russia has blocked action at the United Nations to authorise a military attack against Syria and Obama is seeking to rally support among US allies.
International Backing
So far, only France has indicated willingness to go along with an armed response.
Major economies that Obama is seeking diplomatic support from include the UK, Australia, Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
Obama met at the summit with the leaders of France, China, Japan, Turkey, Brazil and Mexico.
''Given Security Council paralysis on this issue, if we are serious about upholding a ban on chemical weapons use, then an international response is required, and that will not come through Security Council action,'' Obama said.
Obama will return to Washington this weekend to continue pressing Congress for authorisation for a Syria attack. He said he plans to deliver an address on September 10 from the White House.
He again stressed that any action would be ''limited both in time and in scope.''
US lawmakers are asking questions about the size and cost of a military operation that Obama has said would be limited and not involve US ground troops.

The Diverse Income Trust managed by Gervais Williams hopes to raise another £50 million in order to cut its premium and costs.
Diverse Income currently trades on a premium of 5.2% compared with an average discount of 0.9% for its UK Equity Income peer group.
'Taking into account the company's performance since IPO, the current rating of its shares, and the manager's outlook for potential investee companies and the company's underlying portfolio, the board is considering increasing the company's capital base through a pre-emptive offer of C shares to raise up to approximately £50 million of gross proceeds in June 2014,' Diverse Income stated.
'Any such fundraising would be expected to reduce the company's ongoing cost ratio as well as broaden the company's investor base to improve market liquidity for existing shareholders.'
Diverse Income's present ongoing charge is 1.84%, according to the AIC, higher than the sector average of 1.18% including performance fees.
Over the past year Diverse Income has returned 36.1%, compared with an average of 15.8% for the sector and 8.9% from the FTSE All Share index.
Diverse Income added that it was now taking legal, tax and financial advice on the fundraising.
