Describe someone you know who made a wrong decision.
You should say:
who the person was
what the situation was
what decision they made
and explain why you think it was the wrong decision.
One of my dear friends Sarah pops up in my mind in terms of wrong decision taker. Sarah is married and settled in USA currently. She had a hard time convincing her parents to marry her boy friend who wishes to settle in USA. Her parents argued that your career and family life will not be more beautiful in India. They insisted to think ten times before she takes her final decision. Her parents' even seek help from her friends to convince her to settle in India rather risking everything in USA. Today she regrets that decision; she has a normal family life and mother of a kid. Her husband doesn't wish to settle back in India. She has to manage everything from raising kid to cooking and cleaning house to manage groceries etc. She could had all luxuries in India, a maid to clean home, she might have been a working mother as nanny or family members can take care of her kid while she is working. She calls her life as "prison or punishment" but that is the curse of wrong decision. She can't change now as she loves her husband and kid a lot. From my thinking she neglected the advice by her parents to think ten times before taking final decision. I think she could have made wiser decision rather than impulsive life changing wrong decision.

In a new screencast from NetTuts.com today they show you how to integrate the popular Compass CSS authoring framework into an existing CodeIgniter-based application.
I was recently asked about how to use Compass in an existing CodeIgniter project. It seems that the emailer was under the impression that Compass was made for Ruby and Rails. But that's not the case at all! Note that Ruby will need to be installed on your system in order for Compass to work correctly.
The screencast (coming in at a quick five minutes) shows you how to get things set up and includes a walk-through of the generator application and the output it gives.

Jett, St. Louis Survive, Edge URI 59-58
Wednesday, January 08, 2014
KINGSTON, RI-- Jordair Jett scored a career high 31 points, 21 of which came in the 2nd half, and St. Louis hung on for a 59-58 win over URI Tuesday night in a nail biter at the Ryan Center.
Jett, a St. Paul native who played prep school ball at Notre Dame Prep in Fitchburg, Mass., simply refused to let the Billikens lose, sinking clutch shot after clutch shot down the strectch, including a pair of free throws with 7.4 seconds to ultimately tie and win the game.
"He's a high IQ guy out there," said St. Louis head coach Jim Crews. "He really understands matchups, really understands how things work out there."
The first half was another "Rhody Rock Fight" with both teams struggling to generate much offense. SLU shot 33% from the floor, 18% from 3 point range, and 33% from the free throw line, yet led 27-19. By comparison the Rams posted 28%/33%/43% shooting lines.
The game was deadlocked at 14 after Gilvydas Biruta's layup drew the Rams even for the first time since the game was 2-2. The Billikens ripped off an 8-0 over the next 6 minutes, however, and carried an identical edge in rebounding (27-19) and points into the half.
The 2nd half was an entirely different story, and the whole complexion of the game shifted early in the half when Dwayne Evans, the Billikens' leading scorer this season, fell into foul trouble.
Over the next 5 minutes and 27 seconds (including a brief reappearance by Evans, only to pick up his 4th foul seconds later) URI outscored St. Louis 19-7, culminating in a free throw from E.C. Matthews to give the Rams their first lead of the game: 42-41.
"I think even prior to his [Evans'] departure our energy level just picked up defensively," said URI Head Coach Dan Hurley, attributing his team's run to increased aggressiveness on both ends of the floor.
"Dwayne was playing well for us, so that was difficult," said Crews.
The game went back and forth the rest of the way, with neither team building a lead that exceeded 5 points. A 3 pointer from Matthews tied the game at 57 with just under a minute to play, and chaos ensued over the final minute.
Jett was stripped while driving the lane on the other end, and as Rhody broke out on the fast break Munford had a short floater blocked to send the break the other way. T.J. Buchanan made a terrific defensive play to block Evans' layup attempt and URI secured the rebound and called timeout with 29 seconds to go.
URI expected to run a play for the final shot at that point, but Jett was called for a reaching foul on Munford with 17.5 seconds to go, sending URI's leading scorer to the line with the game tied. Munford made 1 of 2, and St. Louis came down for a quick shot attempt and Jett was fouled with 7.4 seconds to go.
After Jett made the 2 free throws that ultimately won the game, URI ran an inbounds play where Munford caught the ball off a screen and tried to beat Jett down the sideline. Munford was bumped on the play and the ball stripped away, prompting Rhody fans to call for a foul that they never received. Jett was fouled and actually missed the ensuing 2 free throws with 1 second to go, but URI's last chance heave was batted away from Biruta and the game was over.
Hurley didn't blame the referees for not calling a foul on Munford's drive.
"I think the guys did a great job refereeing a physical game," he said.
Matthews lead the Rams in scoring with 17 points, and Munford added 16 in the loss. Hassan Martin continued his strong play with 8 points and 5 blocks in his 3rd game as a starter for URI.
Hurley was surprised by the scoring outburst from Jett, who came in averaging just 10.5 points per game, but the URI coach spoke very highly of Jett as an all-around player.
"He's one of the very best players in the league because he affects the game on both ends of the court."
The result was moderately disappointing for URI given the opportunity the game presented, but overall the Rams played one of, if not the best game they have all season. St. Louis is the defending Atlantic 10 champion, a borderline Top 25 team this season (with a 14-2 record) and figure to be one of the best teams in the league again this year.
"We're doing what we're supposed to do- we're getting better," said Hurley of his adversity-ridden team. "We're improving, we're not there yet."
URI now stands at 9-7, and 0-1 in conference play. The Rams next play Saturday on the road against George Washington.

The Westminster dog show, at Madison Square Garden in New York, hasn't only been about the dogs lately. Last year, PETA protesters invaded the two-day event. As a handler in one of the fantastically dowdy suits that are a Westminster hallmark trotted a graceful Doberman around the ring, one of the protesters held up a sign reading "Mutts rule." She was led away by blue-suited security officers, but another protester appeared, smartly dressed in jacket and slacks, and mounted the winners podium to hold up a sign that read "Breeders Kill Shelter Dogs Chances." Her message lasted for maybe 10 seconds before she too was led away.
The protests are an indication of how complicated dog politics have become. To start with, these days, mutts do rule, at least relatively. Rescue dogs, which are mostly mutts, have never been more popular, while the American Kennel Club, arbiter and protector of purebred dogs, has seen its membership and registrations drop for a decade or more. The AKC brand has been partly hollowed out: Purebred used to mean excellent; now it can as easily mean inbred.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, though inspired by the horror of shelters in 1970s America, is in many ways a latecomer to these issues. PETA's founder and head, Ingrid Newkirk, as the young expatriate bride of a race car driver, volunteered at an animal shelter and was appalled at the conditions in which the animals lived and died. It opened her eyes to animal suffering. Alarmed at the carelessness of her coworkers, she volunteered for extra euthanasias, and eventually founded an organization that's done more than any other to change the way we view the treatment of animals.

Originally posted in the Westport News, but now the article is "unavailable". This has also been posted on several other forums and in an email newsletter from PAWS ( http://www.pawsct.org/ ) in Norwalk, CT.
Westport is getting ready to organize its Dangerous Dog Board.
In a community with lots of dog lovers, a meeting scheduled Wednesday at Town Hall of the Dangerous Dog Board sparked some curiosity, although the session was later cancelled. First Selectman Gordon Joseloff, who also pointed out that June is the month to renew dog license, said yesterday that the organizational meeting is now scheduled for July 10.
It will include two veterinarians, a member interested in training dogs and a member of the public. Previously a Humane Society representative was to be
a member of the board but the position was declined. So, at least for the time being, it will be a four-member board.
The Dangerous Dog Board ordinance was approved by the Representative Town Meeting (RTM) in May 2002, according to RTM Moderator Alice Shelton. In a brief telephone interview Wednesday, Shelton pointed out that she had written a report on the ordinance in the spring of 2002 when the RTM was debating the measure.
Asked why the town waited until now to organize the board, Joseloff explained that there has not been a dangerous dog situation in need of the board's attention. When there was a period of time in which it appeared there might be a reason for the board to meet, it was decided it would be prudent to have the Dangerous Dog Board in place.
Despite the adventures of Lewis, a search of the Internet didn't reveal any Dangerous Cat Boards, although Dangerous Dog Boards are common. Although Westport's board has yet to spring into action, the ordinance itself was lauded in an editorial by a Rhode Island newspaper because the editors felt the Westport measure was better crafted and included the work of some experts.
In the Town of Westport Code Supplement No. 55 dated Dec. 15, 2005, the dangerous dog item covers such things as appeals, change of ownership, confinement, fees, hearings, impoundment, investigations, keeping of dangerous dogs, leashing requirements, liability, muzzling and the procedure for declaring a dog dangerous.
In addition, notification policy is listed including notification of escape, notification of intent to impound and notification of determination regarding dangerous dog declaration.
I know the date for the organizational meeting was for yesterday evening, but I think it would be a good idea for CT residents to keep a watch on this for further developments. When I receive more information, I will pass it along.

It's pretty obvious that Rex has no clue how to run an offense so why should he be entrusted to pick an OC?
His comment, "I'm going to be more aggressive on offense" means nothing to me and should fall on deaf ears.
If Woody entrusts Rex to pick his coaches on defense, fine. But on offense? No thank you.

The art (pictured left) was posted on Behemoth's official developer blog, where the company also noted that a trailer for the game will debut on March 18.
Castle Crashers, a 2D multiplayer beat-em-up, was released last August to critical acclaim. However, bugs plagued the initial release, and the game went without a patch until Christmas Eve.
No details of Behemoth's untitled third game are known, though it does seem to continue the cartoony art style established in the team's first title, Alien Hominid.

Submission + - IBM Watson to battle patent trolls (extremetech.com)
MrSeb writes: "IBM's Watson is made of many parts: speech recognition, natural language processing, machine learning, and data mining. All of these factors were perfectly combined to beat Ken Jennings in Jeopardy, and now each of these components are slowly finding their way into other applications. Health plan company WellPoint, for example, is using Watson to investigate patient records to improve diagnosis, and in a self-referential, possibly universe-destroying twist, IBM itself is using Watson to help sell Watson (and other IBM products) to other companies. Now, using Watson's data mining and natural language talents, IBM has created the Strategic IP Insight Platform, or SIIP, a tool that has already scanned millions of medical patents and journals for the sake of improving drug discovery — and in the future, it's easy to see how the same tool could be used to battle patent trolling, too."

On 1 December 2013 Kaiserburg Castle in Nuremberg opens the doors to its permanent exhibition, Emperor-Empire-City. A visit to the imperial double chapel, the main castle building and the Germanic Museum's weapons collection is a great way to learn about history. One particular highlight is the oldest model of the city of Nuremberg. Visitors can also see the wooden model of the Palatine chapel in Aachen and the imperial eagle glass. All computer stations offer features in English and the audio guide that leads you through the exhibition is available in six languages.
If you're in Nuremberg over the festive months, be sure to stop by the famous Christmas market.

I was just wondering if anyone has ever tried to fit 2.2 sohc 4valve heads on a 1.8 EA82 motor? I know there are intake and exhaust to deal with but will they bolt on and would the water and oil passages line up? I was just thinking maybe.

im sure that they would not work with the ea engine, if im not mistaken, its a completly different design.eea componants work with ea engines and ej works with ej.
Posted 06 May 2005 - 12:40 AM
yeah.. waaaaayyy different.. BUT... you can (with mods) put the whole EJ22 (or other EJ engines) into an EA car.. makes for a better result too! my first conversion car worked quite well. noah has it now-
Posted 14 May 2005 - 02:29 PM
ya the heads are totally different, and the coolant and oil passages are different too, not to mention if they did fit you would have like a 7.5:1 comp. ratio instead of 8.5:1 or 9.0:1, huge drop in HP. do some searching and ask some questions around the board, you CAN put a EJ22 in your car, I did, Austin did, Mudrat does, Noah and Barracuda are all working on their conversions, just "poke" around and decide if its what oyu want to do.
Posted 22 May 2005 - 03:11 AM
If something like what was going to work, I think you'd have to use EJ18 heads. But thats still going to leave problems with the cooling and oil passages that run through the head. EJ motors have less metal in the top of the blocks. There is only a 1/4" of metal between the two cylinders, where on a EA block, its solid with smaller cooling/oil ports.
Custom Dual port heads would be a better route

In pre-World War II Vancouver the Asahi baseball team was unbeatable, outplaying the taller Caucasian teams and winning the prestigious Pacific Northwest Championship for five straight years. When Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, the Canadian government sent every person of Japanese descent, whether born in Canada or not, to internment camps.
Faced with hardship and isolation, the former Asahi members survived by playing baseball. Their passion for this quintessential North American game soon attracted other players, including RCMP and local townspeople, and the baseball games helped to break down racial and cultural barriers. In Sleeping Tigers, award-winning director Jari Osborne skillfully weaves archival film and dramatic re-creations, along with candid interviews with the last of the Asahi, to tell this remarkable story.

The scholarship recipients were invited to the meeting on Wednesday for the members to congratulate the recipients and find out their future plans.
The Stuttgart Lions Club announced the recipients of its scholarships, totaling $3,000, during a luncheon last week.
The scholarship recipients were invited to the meeting on Wednesday for the members to congratulate the recipients and find out their future plans.
"We always look forward to the Lions Club scholarships in the spring," Dave Straus, president of the Stuttgart Lions Club, said.
Straus added that during the year there are fundraisers in which the Lions Club members participate in to fund the scholarships.
"We gave two Leo Club scholarships, two at-large scholarship and the newest, The Lions Eddye Kay Hansen Memorial Scholarship," Nelson White, chairman of the scholarship committee, said.
The Lions Eddye Kay Hansen Memorial Scholarship will be an annual scholarship given to a faithful member of the Stuttgart High School Leo Club, White said.
The recipients of the scholarships from the Stuttgart Lions Club were:
• Bobby Rutledge —Leo Club — Henderson State University
• Christopher Hooks — Leo Club — Arkansas State University
• Britni Weaver — At Large — Phillips Community College at the University of Arkansas
• Dylan Cooper — The Lions Eddye Kay Hansen Memorial Scholarship — University of Central Arkansas
• Addison Melson — At Large — University of Arkansas at Fayetteville
"The committee consider all students for the scholarships, not only the Leo Club members," White said. "We do have a criteria for our selections."
White explained that the basis of the selections are academic progress, involvement in school, community and church activities, as well as a need for the scholarship to pursue their future education desires.
"We are very proud of our selections this year," White said. "These students are very deserving."
Other than White, the scholarship committee consists of Sarah Morris and Tommy Moss.

ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- A local hospital is helping women catch breast cancer earlier on, thanks to new state-of-the-art technology.
Women's center at Rockford Health System is the first provider in the region to offer tomosynthesis. They demonstrated the technology for us by using an apple. It produces a 3-D image of the breast, giving radiologists a clearer view than traditional mammograms. Doctors say this increases the odds of them catching a potentially deadly disease.
"It's still in its infant phases, but from what I've seen it offers tremendous potential in helping the radiologists see cancers earlier. I really do, I think we're going to be using it in the future from its introduction now to beyond," said radiologist Douglas Blume.
The equipment was purchased with money from the Rockford Memorial Development Foundation.

Could you kindly answer my questions:
1- Is this project an open source? (More is the license part if you can speak about it like GPL)
2- On the download page I can see two demo's (windows & including linux[?]) Whats about this? is the compiled binary non-free? The same thing is been done by x-chat for windows (Trial for windows) and totally free for linux while source code is available for free.
3- Assume this project is really free and open sourced; Can you explain to me the buy link? I saw you are selling it which really gives me a big confuse while I read its open source project.
If it's free and on an acceptable license for linux community (Like GPL under any of its versions), I suggest you go to maemo forum (developer section or games section and ask for someone to take the responsibility for porting it). This is the best time to get any applications/games ported as its currently active for maemo before n900 getting shipped. If Game-Editor ported and got into a level of end user usiblilty it might have it's chance to get shipped with n900.
Feel free to make a request here http://talk.maemo.org/ & please provide the source code (It seems I can't access it without user&password as it's not open for everyone!)

England's star youngster Joe Root is aiming to get one over Australia's head coach Darren Lehmann after the Yorkshireman visited his Adelaide academy three years ago which helped him on the road to an international career.
The 22-year-old is fully expected to open the batting alongside captain Alastair Cook in the first Test in Brisbane next month and will get his first chance to impress tomorrow against the Australia Chairman's XI (2.30am GMT start).
It will be the first time he plays in the country since his tour in 2010/11 where he featured for the Prospect District Cricket Club which works in conjunction with the Darren Lehmann Cricket Academy. Lehmann himself is a Yorkshire legend, playing 88 first-class games with an average of over 68 which included hitting 26 centuries and a high score of 339.
Root was in the Yorkshire academy when the current Australian head coach was destroying the county circuit with his vibrant batting style and in 2010 he was invited to his academy where Lehmann mentored the Sheffield-born batsman during a long winter in South Wales.
The level headed opener has shot to fame over the past 12-months which included a stunning 180 at Lord's in the second Ashes Test and he exclusively explains to GiveMeSport the time spent with Lehmann and West Indian Carl Hooper was invaluable.
"Three years ago now I went to the Darren Lehmann academy which is in Adelaide and spent about five months over there and I really enjoyed it.
"That made me really excited for getting back out here again to be honest, it's all come round very quickly but I'm ready to go."
It will not be the first time England and Root in particular have come up against Lehmann after he accepted the head coach role just weeks before the 2013 Ashes and Root says he wants to get one over his former mentor.
"It is funny how things like that work out in sport but hopefully I and us as a side can get one over him and beat them in their own back yard.
"We've just got to concentrate on ourselves and look after our own game and as individuals as well, if we do that then we'll be a hard side to beat over there," Root emphasised to GiveMeSport.
"I was only in the academy while he (Lehmann) was at Yorkshire so I didn't get to know him much while he was there but he had a fantastic record for the club and he is very well respected there. Things are slightly different now and I'm sure we'll have a fierce rivalry going to Australia."
Michael Carberry will join Root in opening the batting for England tomorrow with Alastair Cook not risked with a slight back problem in an experimental side that includes Gary Ballance, Ben Stokes and Boyd Rankin.
"I'm obviously very excited and I was absolutely knackered from all of the testing we had to go through at Loughborough but it's really exciting times ahead.
"This will hopefully be the longest tour I'll have been on, it is a long time but it's not a bad country to spend a long time in is it? I can't complain because it's so exciting and I really am looking forward to it all."
England XI to face a Western Australia Chairman's XI: Root, Carberry, Trott, Bell, Ballance, Stokes, Prior, Rankin, Tremlett, Finn, Anderson.

Recent safety checks discussed by SMAHS staff
During a special parent presentation on current drug trends presented by representatives of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services at St. Marys Area High School on Wednesday evening, St. Marys Area High School counselor Molly Wehler and St. Marys Area High School nurse Julie Chicola discussed the recent safety searches that were conducted at the high school and middle school, as well as the proper procedure that should be followed by students who need to take prescription medication during the school day. Wehler explained that the school district is trying to stress the idea of prevention, which she explained was the purpose of the recent safety checks. "Those checks did not come out of any issue that we felt we were having here at the high school or at the middle school," Wehler said. "It was something really to protect the students and to sort of send a message out, especially with things like the prescription medicine or the over-the-counter medicine that students bring in to the nurse to take during the day, that they need to know that when they walk in the building that those medications must go to the person that is going to be in charge of that for them for the day, and that they must have the doctor's prescription that states they are to have those."Wehler also addressed some of the rumors that have resulted from the safety checks, explaining that many of them are false."[It's] kind of funny to us, but as we have gone out in the public since then, personally I had somebody come up to me and say after the high school [safety search], 'Wow, I heard they found bags and bags of cocaine,'" Wehler said. She explained that she was personally involved in searching students' bags during the checks at both the high school and middle school, and stated, "There was nothing like that."She did indicate that what she and the other personnel found consisted mainly of prescription medications that had not yet been taken to the school nurse, and over-the-counter products such as Advil, Tylenol, cough drops, and Sudafed. "We are kind of coming off cold and flu season. We get it. We understand that, but we can't have those medications sort of randomly floating around because there have been incidents here, in other buildings, other school districts, where somebody scrapes the identification off of a Tylenol pill or something and sells it to somebody else saying it's a Vicodin or something like that," Wehler said. Wehler noted that the measure is in place in order to help ensure the protection of the students.

Over the winter months, many folks get cabin fever-the all-but-unbearable feeling of being cooped up inside and not being able to travel or go about your business freely due to temperature and/or weather constraints. But not me-no, sir. Instead, I get Corvette fever-the all-but-unbearable feeling of not being able to open the hood up or get underneath my Corvette(s) to get my hands-on garage time in. To while away those long winter hours, I think of things that need to be done to my rides or projects I want to do to improve them or personalize them in some way. And, inevitably, by the time that Spring thaw rolls around, I have a pretty long laundry list of things to do.
Another winter-time activity of mine is getting my tools, gear, and equipment ready for work as soon as the weather breaks. That usually entails making sure all my sockets are properly sorted and in their respective places in trays or holders; I've found that there are precious few things more annoying or frustrating than needing a certain tool-a socket, for instance-and not finding it where it's supposed to be. And unless you share your tools with somebody else, there's nobody else to blame for this but yourself for not putting it back where it belongs when you last finished using it.
I always like to give my wrenches, sockets, ratchets, and extensions a good wipe-down with a shop rag while I'm at it to remove any grease, grime, or gunk that may be on them, although I'm usually pretty good about cleaning my tools after each project before stowing them.
I frequently use air tools, so lubricating them with air tool oil is another good "keep-busy" winter task, as well as organizing all those essential garage chemicals like carb and choke cleaner, WD-40, naptha, denatured alcohol, and such. I also have a "utility tray" that contains other essentials like nitrile gloves, a utility knife, safety glasses, shop rags, an LED flashlight, ink marker, tape measure, and other indispensable miscellaneous implements that I know I'll usually need at some point during various projects.
So, after all these months of getting everything ready, I can't wait to jump right in and begin. So, let's do just that right now!
Project 1: Radiator Replacement
Applicable Years: C3
Skill level: 2 Wrenches
Tools required: sockets, ratchet, wrenches, catch basin, screwdrivers, pliers
Time required: 4-5 hours
Parts source: DeWitts Reproductions
Some of the radiator seams on my '76 Shark were starting to show tell-tale stains from dried antifreeze in a couple of spots, telling me this radiator was ready to pop the next time I had to sit in traffic on a 90-degree day. Owing to some engine performance work, it runs a bit on the warm side, so I decided to replace the stock radiator with an all-aluminum racing unit from DeWitt's Reproductions. Since this car also has factory air, there were a couple of extra steps you won't have to perform on a non-A/C car. Either way, it's not terribly difficult, but it is a bit involved and will take up the better part of a Saturday when you do it.
Project 2: Thermostat & Housing Replacement
Applicable Years: C1, C2, C3
Skill level: 1 Wrench
Tools required: sockets, ratchet, razor scraper, screwdriver
Time required: 1 hour
Parts source: Paragon Reproductions
The thermostat housing on my '67 big-block was looking a bit shoddy, and the old warhorse has a tendency to run hot in summer traffic, so I thought it would be a good idea to replace the stock thermostat with a 160-degree unit when I put a new housing on the engine. This is an easy project that will help your engine to run cooler and make the engine look nicer-especially if you're doing some additional cleanup and detailing while you're at it, as I did.
Project 3: Retro Fuel Rail Covers
Applicable Years: C5
Skill level: 1 Wrench
Tools required: none
Time required: 15 minutes
Parts source: Advanced Automotive Technologies
If you have a C5 and you'd like to get a little of that "retro look" under the hood to remind onlookers of your Corvette's 50-plus-year heritage, then these fuel rail covers from Advanced Automotive Technologies are your ticket. Made of the same composite material as the stock factory covers, these units are molded and painted to be reminiscent of the old finned valve covers from the '50s and '60s. Installation is a snap-literally-since no tools are needed and in well under a half-hour you can give your modern-era C5 a real nostalgic, classic look.
Project 4: Door Sill Panel Mount Hole Repair
Applicable Years: C2, C3
Skill level: 1 Wrench
Tools required: rivet nut thread setter kit with inserts, drill, screwdriver
Time required: 1/2-1 hour
Parts source: The Eastwood Company
When redoing a Midyear or Shark interior, it's not uncommon to find bad sill panel mounting holes when you take the old panels off; this can be caused by rusting, the old screws not coming out and requiring drilling or just having stripped threads. Regardless of the cause, you'll have to repair the holes before you can properly install new sill panels, and inserting new thread inserts is an excellent solution. Here's how to do it.
Project 5: Air Filter Cleaning
Applicable Years: C5 or any year using a non-disposable filter
Skill level: 1 Wrench
Tools required: compressed air/blower nozzle, stiff brush, screwdriver
Time required: 1 hour
Parts source: SLP Performance Parts
I have an SLP Blackwing Cold Air Induction system on my C5, and after many miles and several months, it was time to clean the filter, so I got a cleaning/servicing kit from SLP to do the job. It takes less than an hour and you don't need any tools other than a brush, some air pressure, and a screwdriver.
Project 6: Engine Appearance Freshening
Applicable Years: C1, C2, C3
Skill level: 1 Wrench
Tools required: wire brushes, engine paint and disposable brush, steel wool, nitrile gloves, WD-40, compressed air, masking tape, misc. hand tools
Time required: 1-4 hours
Parts source: Paragon Reproductions
Over time your engine will acquire a coating of dirt, dust, road grime, and grease, and some parts will become discolored due to oxidation or gasoline/oil seepage. An hour or two (or three or four, if it's really bad) is time well-spent with the improvement you'll see when the job is done. So roll up your sleeves and let's get started.
Well, that wraps it up for this year's Weekend Projects issue. But, if you're like me, there are still plenty of other things that need to be done. See you same time next year!

While the September floods may prove to be one of the worst natural disasters in the history of our community, people have come together in small and big ways to help those suffering devastating losses.
But as winter approaches and we see the many efforts underway to aid flood victims, it is clear Estes Park has a long road ahead.
Estes Park is a vital and essential component of what makes Larimer County a national treasure. The Community Foundation of Northern Colorado has teamed up with Bohemian Foundation to offer a matching challenge to inspire people to give and help restore the vitality of our community.
Bohemian Foundation is providing a challenge grant of $750,000. This grant will match dollar-for-dollar all donations from individuals made to any of three flood relief funds established through the Community Foundation. You can designate your gift to one or more of these charitable funds: Estes Park (Drake and above), Loveland (below Drake), and Poudre River communities.
"Even while Estes Park is pulling together to regain basic services we have kept a sense of hope and community," says Chuck Levine, member of the Community Foundation's Board of Trustees and Estes Valley Community Fund Committee. "We care about one another and will work together to rebuild."
The challenge means an additional $1.5 million can help with flood relief and recovery efforts in Larimer County. How the funds work:
Tens of millions of dollars in government assistance will repair Colorado roads and bridges but there are countless local needs that won't receive government support. Charitable giving will help fill the gaps.
Grants from the funds will go to a range of local nonprofits that provide help to individuals, and will assist with city and county efforts.
People living in each of the affected communities will be involved in the decision-making for how the donations will be spent: local dollars for local recovery.
Donations also will help support the Long-Term Recovery Group, a coalition of area nonprofits helping individuals and families affected by the flood.
Please take advantage of this challenge to double your gift to help those in our own backyard. If you have family and friends in other parts of the country asking how they can help, spread the word. Tell them about the matching challenge. Donors don't need to be residents of Larimer County to have their gift matched.
In the face of disaster, many of us feel particularly motivated to help, yet the "how to" can be overwhelming. Your gift is tax deductible and easy to make. Simply go to NoCoFoundation.org to donate online or mail a check to:
Community Foundation of Northern Colorado
4745 Wheaton Drive, Suite 100
Fort Collins, Colorado, CO 80525
Checks should be made payable to "Community Foundation" with "Flood Relief" in the memo line. If you wish to designate your gift for a specific fund(s), please indicate this on the memo line.
Working together, we can make significant impact on Estes Park's recovery and future success. We are proud to live in a community recognized for its generosity, spirit of giving and big heart.
Pat Stryker, Founder, Bohemian Foundation; Ray Caraway, President, Community Foundation of Northern Colorado
Flood cleanup volunteers helped in a big way
My husband and I live in Lakewood and have been helping my brother with flood cleanup on his property in the canyon. He sustained a considerable amount of damage at his home and cabins, and the work behind and ahead of us is overwhelming at times. However, the volunteers sent by the clearinghouse in Estes Park have been so very helpful and giving, and they have inspired us to keep our chins up and to keep the faith that we will all get through this tough time.
We regret that we have not gotten contact information to personally thank them as we should, but they know who they are ( Tim and Jared; Chris, Caroline and family from Craig; Chris and Janine; Mike, Steve, Pat and Ward, Joel and Elise; and a few others whose names escaped but nevertheless are just as deserving of praise.).....God bless you all for being such selfless and giving people.
A million times, thank you. Joe and Jeanne Young, representing Riverside Cabins.

Thank you to Estes park emergency personnel and RMNP search and rescue
On Sept. 28, I fell off the side of old man mountain and landed in a spot that was very inconvenient. The emergency personnel had to call in the Rocky Mountain National Park search and rescue team to help get me. I dislocated my foot very badly and nearly broke it.
I wanted to thank everyone in that team of awesome people for keeping me calm and laughing all the way down. As well as dealing with my random rambling slurred nonsense, and for taking me down the mountain to the hospital via ropes, even though I wanted a zip line. I also wanted to thank the emergency room staff that night for quickly getting me situated and fixed. While calming down my mother and putting my foot back in place without me even noticing. with out all of you I may not have gotten off that mountain. Thank you for what you did and what you do, it means a lot.

Know before you speak
I never cease to be amazed by how many authorities we have that know little about the subject they are writing on.
I would never write an opinion on architecture because I have very little experience in that area.
I have lived and worked in an oil province all my life. I am a World War II Vet in my late 80s. I have worked as a petroleum geologist for more than 64 years. Throughout my career I have been honored many times by my peers.
Several times our committees have tried diligently to work with environmental groups. This has included busloads of architects, attorneys, and physicians from the metropolitan areas of Texas. Our representatives have always concluded their remarks with "we believe reasonable people can arrive at reasonable solutions." Every time we have received the same response - "we do not intend to be reasonable."
I am well acquainted with strip mining operations in NE Arizona. Indian Tribal Leaders preferred by far the reclamation of their lands after mining rather than restoring to the original condition of the lands.
The Tar Sands will continue to be mined by our Canadian friends whether they sell the oil to the United States or Asian countries.
I could write many articles about various aspects of the petroleum business, however, I will not bore the reader.
The Keystone XL pipeline should be built for many reasons.
Yours truly,

Supporting our library, supports our valley
Many in our community have come to know me as the "bridge teacher", but i would rather be known as a library lover and supporter. Thanks to the initiative of the Woman's Club, the Estes Park Library was first opened to the community in 1916, but only two afternoons a week and housed in the local school. In 1922, funds were raised for a building in Bond Park, small and modest, but open five days a week. Over the years, many changes have taken place, both physically and programmatically.
The Estes Valley Public Library now provides a critical component for community sharing, learning and growth. As a downtown element, the library serves as a draw for both locals and tourists to the businesses that line Elkhorn Avenue. Providing meeting rooms for many of our community groups at no cost and inviting families and adults to specially developed programs that help us gather together. Few communities of our size can boast of a public library with the talent of this staff.
Recovery is on everyone's mind, and the future will judge whether we have had the foresight to support a key element in so many aspects of our community life. The library has been here over the years to provide the community with what it has requested in service and programs, I can only hope that each of us recognizes the potential such an institution can provide as we continue to give it our financial and volunteer support. A vote for the library's requested mill levy increase will mean it can continue to be a learning, growing and gathering place for our community.

EV Library Foundation, President
Estes Valley Library - 97 years of excellence
For nearly 100 years, Estes Park has proudly supported a library. Started by Estes Park Woman's Club in 1916, a collection of 292 books was set up in a vacant school room. Only open two afternoons a week, this small beginning developed into the Estes Valley Library thanks to years of dedication and support by community members.
The public-spirited club women raised funds with book socials and bake sales to construct the first permanent library building in 1922 with community members contributing money, building materials and labor. For over 50 years, Woman's Club had full responsibility for maintaining the library - they raised the operating funds, swept the floors, shelved the books and even carried coal to the stove to heat the building.
As the town grew the library enjoyed renovations and additions. Legal authority was passed to the town in 1969 but the women continued their library fund-raising activities. With no room for expansion, the current library was built in 1991.
The early days of book and bake sales will not fund the kind of library we want for our community. Remembering the past but with our eyes to the future, I encourage a YES vote to support ballot issue 5A.
Let's keep the Estes Valley Library on its path of innovative excellence.

Hooray for the American spirit of helping
It has been one month since the great flood of Estes Park, and so many affected areas in the canyons, lowlands and plains, it is still difficult to comprehend. The destruction of life, property and cost will only be able to be tabulated in the months and years to come. Some have lost everything. The good thing that showed up is the exceptional qualities of the exceptional people who have helped other in time, labor and money that always seems to rally Americans when others need these things. Hooray for America and Americans.
I am not asking for an ataboy when reporting how my wife and I have given of ourselves and will continue to do that, but instead, to so many others who have worked so hard, risked life, limb and financial risk to help others. This is the American way. We have seen it on the news over and over throughout America and the world. To me, this is American exceptionalism. However, there is more thought.
One hundred year flood? 500 year flood? 1,000 year flood? Don't count on it. It is only a phrase and could even happen again next year. The last big flood in Big Thompson Canyon was in 1976. Not that many years ago, so now what?
Is it only my thoughts, or has something big changed since the middle '60s? American exceptionalism has, and will always, keep a portion of the population in America with a good heart that still feels the desire to help others at home and throughout the world. But since that era, in my opinion, much has been lost. Crime, rage, financial cheating, hurting other for gain, etc. Too much to list.
I do not believe in (originally global warming) and now conveniently change to climate change. In 1968 or 1969, if I recall, Time Magazine had a headline of global cooling and we would all freeze to death and starve to death because of crop failure. Could it be something else that nobody will ever touch?
I am not ashamed to write I am a believing Christian. There have always been floods and devastation on this earth, but I do not believe it has happened of this magnitude except in the last 12 years. Floods, earthquakes, tsunami, tornados, hurricanes, typhoons, and on and on. Birth pains? Look it up. It is God's word in the bible. There are secular friends who will say I am over the top on this. Christian friends, and even pastors who might correct me, but I feel I must say these things and ask for your curiosity to look it up for yourselves. A good place to start is in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John in the Bible, and check out gotquestions.org. I, in good conscience, cannot keep quiet any longer. I must say what some would like to say but won't

2013 Negotiate Enterprise Communications Deals Conference Dates and Venues Announced by CCMI
By: Business Wire
Feb. 5, 2013 10:07 AM
CCMI today announced the dates and locations for the 2013 Negotiate Enterprise Communications Deals conference. The spring edition will be in the greater Washington, D.C. area at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City at Reagan National on April 29 – May 1. The fall edition is scheduled for Sept. 16-18, at the Omni San Diego Hotel in San Diego, Calif. The conference, now in its 21st year, is the leading event for enterprise communication professionals who need advice on network service and IT procurements and contract negotiations for domestic and global operations.
Hank Levine, partner at Levine, Blaszak, Block & Boothby, LLP, a Washington, DC-based firm that specializes in representing large enterprise users, and the long-standing conference chairman, notes "These procurements and negotiations are complex, critical, and oftentimes contentious, and they come with significant financial, operational, and technical risks and rewards." He added, "When you factor in the increasingly IT-centric nature of communications services and a bewildering array of established vendors – new and old – the need for practical, real-world advice is clear. The conference speakers have decades of experience with these multi-million dollar decisions, and that translates into invaluable advice for the attendees."
CCMI's George David said, "In 2013, more than ever before, enterprises must take an especially hard short- and long-term view of their mix of services and suppliers because legacy telecom vendors want to accelerate their move away from traditional TDM services in favor of internet based services." He added, "It is critical that enterprise IT and procurement professionals understand the carrier's strategies to accomplish this so that their enterprises' communications services and networks move on their schedule, not the carriers' schedules. Attending Negotiate Enterprise Communications Deals is the ideal and most practical way to quickly gain this knowledge."
The Negotiate Enterprise Communications Deals program features 11 general sessions; six specialty breakouts, where attendees can take an in-depth look at the hottest telecom topics; and a recently added half-day workshop, "How to Source Converged IT and Telecom Services," that introduces telecom professionals to the arrival of converged telecom and IT services. Attendees of the conference are eligible for continuing education hours (CEH) from the Institute for Supply Management.
The complete agenda is available at http://www.TelecomNegotiationConf.com.

Man o'War: A Legend Like Lightning by Dorothy Ours
Read by: Anna/Central Teen Room
This is the story of one of the greatest racing horses to ever live. His name was Man o'War, and he was born in 1917. But this book isn't just about the great horse, also known as Big Red for his colorful coat. Because surrounding him are the people that made his racing career happen and the other horses who raced against him. Everyone had a hand in his career, whether they were directly related to his farm or not. This book chronicles every race he ever participated in, whether he won or lost, giving minute details so his victories are well understood to have been above and beyond what the other horses were doing.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading about this horse and his triumphs as I am an avid horse lover. However, this is not the book for a casual reader as the information can be quite dense and maybe even hard to get through at times. Nevertheless, if horses and horse racing is your thing, this is a fantastic read. Ours gives enough information to explain things to those who are not entirely familiar with horse racing, before rushing on to discuss the races, almost as if the book were a race itself. But it's not a race. It is a slow read, though for sure the parts describing each race will have the reader on the edge of their seat. In short, I enjoyed it immensely, but it was not an easy read.


text: Suspension and ridgeline with single point adjustability. I made long loop figure eight knots and passed them though the gathered ends, the ropes run to the hang points and back to the figure eights. The rope then meets in the middle of the hammock creating a ridgeline. Tying the rope together with a square knot make both ends adjustable from the middle. I hope this makes sense. Please comment on any improvements.
