|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thanks doc , nice post....!!!
I have found them all over the web from $.50 up to $30.00 The RS I went to and another that I called both said they no longer carried them with anything near those values. I didn't believe them and went to RS website and darned if they don't have them anymore. Thanks for the info , I'll get one some how. Of interest was the number of sites that carry them for guitars , so possibly a good music shop (that does repairs) may also have them. Doc again I appreciate the time you send on all of us... may your 'vettes go faster because of it<G>
Doc here,
Dude..where do you live?
Our town is so small, we have One main street, That is only 4 miles long..has 17 sworn Cops ..and ALL 17 of them are busy pulling over street rods for headlight violations..and loud mufflers (Because they Can..A REAL Andy of Mayberry Deal Here..)
Our local Radio Shack Is like 15 to 20 feet wide, and about 70 feet long..Shoehorned between a Flower store AND a Restraunt..and THEY have a bin full of (Close Matches) Them...
We had a guy a few months back do this SAME job, got one at HIS local Rat Shak..and installed it and it went well...
That is the trouble with RAT SHAK, No two of them are alike..Since they went into The $$ is in SELL, SELL, SELL!!.. never mind what they actually may want..:
"You Got Questions? We've Got .....
Cell Phones..
Sprint Contracts..
Sat TV Installations...
Plasma TV's.. "
Questions? ask Mr Wizard...I need to finish my Homework for School in the morning.."
They have slowly Been Phasing out the component parts as they sell out...since about 2002..(Which may be Why we still have a bunch of them..since I am the only one buying them..)
DO you Have a local FRY's Electronics Store NEAR you?
Go there, on their Electronic Component Isle (AND be advised they are a mess..parts NOT on hangers just thrown on the floors and end caps..SO you HAVE to get on your hands and knees and look..Go to Resistors, Potentiometers, Then Tapers ..Here is what to look for...
ANY Pot that Is 1 WATT or more, has a resistance Value of 0 to 100 Ohms Or more, up to 500 ohms...(by using half the pot Center terminal and right terminal will give you a range of 0 to 250 ohms....tighter adjustment range but works fine..) and go with that..
IF that does not work for you..Get out the PHONE book..look for Electronic Parts suppliers..PHONE them First..ASK for a pot near the values I gave you..IT does not have to be exact..(remember..It's adjustable...) as long as it is 100 ohms or more and 1 watt or higher..and see what they may offer..They should have one...
The reason you got such a high price on the one you found is because it is a Rehostat..a BIG ceramic Wire wound adjustable resistor that controls high current apps..like lamp dimmers..not what you need or want..you want a POT..
If you Crap out locally all together, go Here:Ohmite Phone or EMAIL them with the spec's I gave you..Tell them you want a type AB, style CLU and what range..Their site Say's their pots come in ranges from 50 ohms to 500 Megohms..and order one..
NEXT, get a Linear taper potentiometer, (like an old radio volume control ) (rat shak ,$3,00) Say, your system is 0 to 60 Ohms , get your linear taper (pot) within a range of 0 to 100 ohms at 5 watts..
Doc after driving 30 miles to the nearest Radio Shack
I asked for said potentimeter, only to br told they don't carry sucah a creature ... the best they had was a 1k @.25 watts. I told sure you do Doc said so, well that made them look it up in their catalog athen they told me they don't carry anything even close. Any ideas where to find a 0-100 ohm @5watt pot?
I did find one close from an electronic store on the internet:
Wire wound element - Continuous rotation -Gold plated plug on terminals - Brass bushing - Stainless steel shaft
Standard resistance range : 50,100, 200, 500,1K, 2K, 5K, 10K
Electrical angle : 350 degrees
Power rating 0.5 watt
Life expectancy : 1,000,000 turns
Options: Ball bearings, center tap, multiple gangs, sealed body , o ring shaft seal, servo mount,
continuous rotation, flattened , lengthened or rear shafts dual concentric shafts, for wirewound version see SP22B
but they start @ $30.00
See, that is NOT what you said..
Your posts indicated the scale was now between E and sub E, which was the way I read it, If you get a full scale sweep on the gauge by grounding/ungrounding the sender wire AT 6 volts AT the gauge (not downstream) it is working..leave it alone..just put in the calibrating pot..as I posted, and calibrate it as I said..
Doc why does the gauge go up to full when grounded then if the gauge is damaged?
As far as the gauge goes I have two other gauges which all test the same +-60 ohms empty and 10 full and I will replace one to test whether or not the gauge is off or wired backwards which is not likely.
Thanks doc for your thoughts ,
Doc here,
After a good night's sleep , (after 22 hours of designing our new product line this year..) and re~Reading what you have described..here is what exactly I think you have done..
By putting 12 volts straight on a 6 volt gauge, and with a disconnected sender wire, you Drove the meter movement way past it's mechanical limits backward......damaging the index pointer and the jewel it rides on..now the highest reading it can give as "E" .. and the lowest being Sub "E"...(moved the whole scale backward)
You Can try to pull the gauge apart and "Right" the pointer IF you are careful and patient.. and VERY Lucky..
Or pack it up and send it off to a restorer (I have links) that will install a new movement, bezel, silk screen the face and install new glass for about $250.00..(I'm assuming this is a retro Stock gauge that matches the panel) ..
This is a SMALL example of WHY I dislike Mixed busses (6 volt / 12 volt on the same vehicle..) sooner or later the wrong wire ends up on the wrong device..and "Poof" you let out all the factory installed Smoke..
<<Doc here,
Sounds like you also have power and ground reversed at the gauge too..
Doc >>
Hmmm.... Let's see... the original system was 6v positive ground , but everything is now 12 v. neg ground. The gauge is self grounding to the housing I think as there is no ground wire to the gauge ... which only has 2 connections... one is power ( now 6v) and the other wire goes to the sender.
Could I possibly have the sender power wires mixed? (Actually I don't think so as there is a metal plate that goes from gauge to gauge to carry power to the next gauge .
Doc here,
Sounds like you also have power and ground reversed at the gauge too..
NOW is a good time to learn how to use it..
You are sending 12 volts (or whatever voltage you have) Through a sender (that should be on ground) INTO and through 30 GALLONS of gasoline and inside of a grounded tank..IF you didn't read and fully understand my last post...you need to read up on fuel senders and systems, and learn to use the meter OR find a good shop to repair the system to be safe..your headed for BIG trouble.
Update--- I reattached gauge to six volts..... the gauge goes up to "E" with the key on( probably did before but I didn't notice it). With key turned off the gauge goes way below( like as far as it physically can) "E".
Disconnected ( actually cut wire mid way between gauge and sending unit) the wire going to the sending unit the guage does not not move at all with key on, still bottomed out.
When I ground the wire it goes to past full.
Thanks Doc, I do have a meter but don't know how to use it (sic) . I can try going back to 6 volts and see what happens, but I STILL would like to know why the test light flashed when I probed the sender wire. Actually a better way to describe it is that it pulsed, as in flashing on and off and on and off? All lights are wired 12v with appropriate bulbs.
>>The SENDER wires NEVER have power on them for Fuel gauges (like putting a 12 volt fuse on 50 sticks of liquid dynomite..) FUEL SENDERS are always referenced to ground through a potentiometer..>>
not sure what you mean does it matter whether it's 6v or 12v as far as 50 sticks of dynamite senario?
BTW went to the light rather than chime for key on /not running. Thanks again.
Doc here,
If you HAD a 6 Volt gauge and YOU wired it to 12 volts, It's probably damaged now..replace it.
Or wire it back as 6 volts and do this:
You CAN NOT accurately test ANYTHING with a test lamp..(except to know power comes from somewhere through the lamp to ground..) USE a meter. Most likely you were seeing a path to ground through the meter or the sender wire lighting the lamp..but you can't tell without using a meter..
The SENDER wires NEVER have power on them for Fuel gauges (like putting a 12 volt fuse on 50 sticks of liquid dynomite..) FUEL SENDERS are always referenced to ground through a potentiometer..
I'd wire the gauge back to the 6 volt config, and try the above sender test..if it is dead (no meter movement at all) ..get another gauge you hosed it..If it pegs the sender wire is shorted (or open) ..find the short / open and fix it..
Yes the original sstem was 6v converted to twelve at some point with a drop down for the gauges. With the fuel gauge wired thru the dropping resistor , I checked the sending unit wire for power because the gauge wasn't working. At that point the testor light would flash and the gauge wasn't registering anything.... why was the testor light flashing?
I rewired the fuel gauge making it 12 v. and disconnected the wire that took went from other side of gauge to the rest of the gauges so it was not sending 12v to the rest of the gauges and made them run off the drop down. So now I only have 12v to the fuel gauge. The other wire from the fuel gauge is the sender wire, as the gauge is grounded.
Wired that way when the key is on the gauge goes to full. If I understand you Doc , I should wire a Linear taper potentiometer somewhere along the sender wire. Correct?
First, there are no 6 volt resistors..Resistors are measured in ohms and watts to determine how many amps at what voltage they will be operating at..That rule of thumb is Called Ohms law..(and a little math)..
IF you meant, your gauge WAS a 6 volt system, AND you Converted your Car to 12 volts , and used a dropping resistor on the power wire, it would be : 6 volts out, with a draw of about an amp, = 6 ohms..At about 6 watts (unless my confuser slipped a digit) from 12 volts..
IF the gauge was 12 volt to begin with and you added a resistor to the power wire..It won't work at all..
A Calibration resistor needs to be installed on the sender unit wire ONLY , not the power wire. The Sender wire is a RESISTANCE to ground through the sender which IS a Variable resistor mounted on a float aparatus..The higher the float arm moves up, the more resistance (or less depending on the sender configuration) the more resistance the gauge See's, the more the needle drives upward..( "F" ) ..the lower the float, the reverse becomes true.. ( "E" )..
IF your gauge IS supposed to be 12 volts, remove the resistor from the power wire. and reconnect as per stock.
To test your sender, remove the sender wire, and watch the gauge, it should peg at full, If it does, then ground the sender wire, it should peg at empty or opposite the last reading, If you have this the system is whole and working.
If not check the Sender wire for bad connections or cuts, be sure the tank sender has a solid ground wire to the frame too..If the wire is good check (or replace ) the gauge.
If it is reporting in error, you need to find the PROPER resistance of the sender unit / Gauge..usually 0 to 30, 0 to 60 , 0 to 90, or 0 to 120 Ohms , up to 290 ohms, (your parts guy should be able to tell you by the make and year of the vehicle, or post it here, I can look it up..)
NEXT, get a Linear taper potentiometer, (like an old radio volume control ) (rat shak ,$3,00) Say, your system is 0 to 60 Ohms , get your linear taper (pot) within a range of 0 to 100 ohms at 5 watts..
locate an easy access area that you can mount the pot along the sender wire from the tank..cut the sender wire..
Strip and attach the wire from the tank and solder it to the left terminal AND the center terminal of the pot..insulate with shrink tubing.
Strip and attach the wire going to the Gauge to the right terminal. Solder and Insulate with Shrink tubing.
That's it,.... Now to Calibrate..Drain (or run it out of gas) , and add 2 gallons of fuel. Monitor your gauge, it should be about "E"..
If not , Turn the pot in one direction or the other, watch the gauge, one way will go up the other will go down. as you turn the pot knob..
Set it for "DEAD ON" "E"..this way , you will ALWAYS have 2 gallons to "limp home on " when you hit empty..and hopefully won't ever run dry.
Lastly, when done get some Silly~Cone and Seal the WHOLE pot up..front , sides, top bottom and KNOB (so it won't turn ) and so it won't get water inside the pot..and your done!
ok now how much resistor do i need? do you get a bunch of 10 ohm resistors and just start adding them until it reads half full? Can a potentiator be added and turned until they equalize?

Arsène Wenger says he is not surprised by Eden Hazard's impressive start to life in the Premier League.
The Belgian has been directly involved in seven of Chelsea's nine league goals this season - scoring once and providing six assists.
And Wenger believes the talented 21-year-old was destined to be a success in English football.
"He has been voted best player of the French league [for] two consecutive years," he said.
"You need some quality to do that at his age. I'm not surprised at all that he goes to Chelsea and straight away is one of their stars because everybody knew about him.
"Let's not forget that all the big budgets in England were after him."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Lipson's call for independent prosecutor to investigate ACORN rests on baseless claims
Research ››› ››› JEREMY HOLDEN
In a September 20 op-ed in the Chicago Tribune, University of Chicago political science professor Charles Lipson called for an independent prosecutor to investigate ACORN by baselessly arguing that Attorney General Eric Holder was incapable of conducting a "fair-minded, independent" investigation into the organization, and that Holder "compounded these concerns" because cases against Gov. Bill Richardson (D-NM) and the New Black Panther Party were dropped. But Lipson cited no evidence to support the claim that Holder influenced either decision.
Lipson attacked Holder's partiality with baseless claims about Richardson and New Black Panther Party cases
From Lipson's September 20 op-ed in the Chicago Tribune:
ACORN's close ties to the progressive movement and Democratic Party mean that there will be little public confidence if Holder decides not to pursue an ambitious investigation and ultimately prosecute.
Ironically, ACORN's chief executive officer, Bertha Lewis, strengthens the case for an independent prosecutor with her robust defense of the organization. FOX News, she says, is pursuing her group solely for political reasons. They oppose ACORN, she says, because it is associated with progressive politics, labor organizing and the Obama administration's health-care initiative. Unfortunately for ACORN, Lewis' charges also mean that if the Obama administration decides not to prosecute or to indict only low-level employees, the public will wonder if they are seeing a political defense by ACORN's friends, a coverup rather than a fair-minded, independent decision by the Justice Department.
Holder has compounded these concerns with two recent decisions. In New Mexico, federal attorneys apparently recommended high-level prosecutions in the pay-for-play scandal swirling around Gov. Bill Richardson. Holder's office overrode them and dropped the case. Holder also decided to drop the voter intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party in Philadelphia, where thugs were caught on tape brandishing clubs outside a voting precinct. In both cases, Holder has refused to explain his actions.
After these decisions and Holder's silence about them, there is simply no reason to hand him another high-profile case with political ramifications.
DOJ reportedly refuted claim that Holder made either decision
AP: Justice Department official claimed "Holder was not involved in the decision to end" Richardson case. In an August 29 article, the Associated Press reported: "New Mexico's top federal prosecutor confirmed Friday that no charges will be brought against Democratic Gov. Bill Richardson and his former top aides after a probe of an alleged pay-to-play scheme prompted him to withdraw his nomination as U.S. commerce secretary." The AP further reported that the "decision not to seek indictments was made by Justice Department officials in Washington, according to two people familiar with the case who spoke to The Associated Press before defense lawyers received [U.S. attorney Greg] Fouratt's letter late Thursday. The sources spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly about the case." The AP added: "However, Attorney General Eric Holder was not involved in the decision to end the case, according to a Justice Department official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to discuss the decision." [Associated Press, 8/29/09]
Department of Justice: A "career attorney in the Civil Rights Division made the final decision to dismiss charges" against New Black Panthers. In a May 29, 2009, post on the Main Justice blog, editor Mary Jacoby wrote: "The Department of Justice is disputing a Washington Times report claiming that Obama administration political appointees overruled career Civil Rights Division attorneys in dismissing a voter-intimidation lawsuit against members of the militant Black Panthers. In an editorial, the Times expressed dismay the story hadn't been 'front-page news.' " Jacoby quoted Civil Rights Division spokesman Alejandro Miyar stating, "Contrary to the report in the Washington Times, a career attorney in the Civil Rights Division made the final decision to dismiss charges against three of the defendants in this case following a thorough review that determined the facts and the law did not support pursuing the claims in this case."

Here's my attempt at the Ep. 2 Clone bucket. There are some areas where I don't like the way I modeled it, and it's not 100% accurate, but overall I'm happy with it. Skip's model is much cleaner, but I'm still learning. :facepalm
The unfold is a bit rushed, but it is scaled to 30 cm tall (that's 11.8 inches). I don't know the proper dimensions, so it may be a bit small. I used the efx helmet as a reference.
I don't have the supplies to do a test build, so let me know if there are any errors or anything so I can try to fix it. I already know that the back under the round doohikey is going to be a P.I.T.A. to work with, but I've been staring at vertices too long to fix it at the moment. :wacko

That's one good thing about a QUALITY firearm. If you buy one, and keep it stored properly, chances are very good that it will increase in value over the years.
Way back in 1977, I bought a nickel Colt Python with a 4" bbl. Cost me $350.00 + tax. If I still had that same gun today, NIB, I could easily get close to, or approaching $2K......give or take.
But, it's all about buying a good brand. Many will debate which is a good brand. It might be easier to list the not so good brands.
Taurus will not appreciate. Ruger is kind of a crap-shoot, but historically will not appreciate. Rossi is junk and not really worth what they get when purchased new.
I could go on, but just pay attention to the lessor known brands. Stay away from them.

Our students only have seven days of school left after today. Seven days. I'm in my 29th year working in Hardin County Schools and I can't ever remember going through a whole school year without a snow day or a make-up day. I know our students will enjoy the extra weeks of vacation. The first day of class for the 2012-13 school year is Aug. 8.
Year-round coverage, extensive work schedules and special training are just part of what it means to be on the yearbook staff at North Hardin High School.
"We are Yerds — yearbook nerds — and we're not embarrassed by it," yearbook adviser Gina Clear said.
Until the end of the first week in April, the staff pushed to meet deadlines for The Trojan which commemorates 50 years of North Hardin High School. The theme is "Summed Up."
Michael Niemeyer is this month's student editor.
Michael is a 16-year-old junior who is homeschooled. He is involved with Boy Scouts, ECA Soccer, Teen Court, his church youth group, RYSA soccer and Faith Homeschool.
He enjoys guitar, reading and soccer and hopes to become a doctor or lawyer.
Michael joined Rising Voices to improve his writing skills and develop a more varied writing style. He also wants to inform his peers trough writing and gain a better understanding of the news media.

If you could pay less for college, skip some general education courses and get it done in 90 minutes, would you?
If the answer to this question is yes, then you might want to consider CLEP Tests. Students said CLEP Tests, or College Level Examination Program Tests, are an excellent way to fast-forward to a college degree.
Each test is on a specific subject such as Western civilization II, analyzing and interpreting literature and chemistry.

The first auction of allowances for California's cap and trade market took place on Wednesday November 14 and the results were released on Monday. The state auctioned off allowances for vintage 2013 and 2015 (an allowance can be used in its vintage year or any year after that). The price floor for both auctions was $10.
All of the vintage-2013 allowances made available were sold and the market clearing price was $10.09. In the vintage-2015 auction, the supply made available was about seven times greater than the total number of bids at $10 or above. As a result, the market for those allowances cleared at a price of $10.00.
The results are somewhat surprising to me.
It is worth pointing out that the rules of the market increase the price floor at the rate of inflation plus 5% per year (starting with 2014), so if you bought a permit today, you should be able to sell it for at least $10.50 in 2014 and $11.03 in 2015 (after accounting for inflation). That's a lot better than the return you can get on a CD these days. So, why doesn't demand for these allowances as investment vehicles push prices higher?
Some people, no doubt, are going to argue that the low prices for both auctions and low demand for the vintage-2015 allowances signals a lack of confidence that the market will be around that long, possibly due to the ongoing legal challenges.
That may be part of it, but I think the full answer is more complex. This was a uniform-price auction. In a competitive uniform-price auction every participant has an incentive to bid his or her true valuation of the good. Though if you are risk-averse, you might spread your bids out over prices around your best guess of your valuation (known as "laddering" among some emissions market participants). If your true valuation of the good were below $10, your best bet would be to not bid at all.
So then is it just coincidence that the market ended up clearing a few cents above the price floor? It seems improbable that so many independent evaluations ended up with a price in this range. I don't have a good explanation, but I look forward to reading comments from those who think they do.
NOTE FOR CARB CAP AND TRADE AUCTION MAVENS: There has been some confusion in interpreting the auction results released by CARB. In particular, it reports that "Submitted Bids" for 2013 was more than three times the "Allowances Available for Sale" and yet the "Median Price" in the bid summary is $12.96, higher than the market clearing price. This is a mathematical impossibility if the Median Price refers to the same set of bids as the Submitted Bids. CARB has clarified the issue: the median price is for all bids that were submitted including the ones that were rejected because they exceeded the procurement limits or holding limits for the market participant, or failed to meet the requirements for bid collateral. The distribution in the Bid Price Summary Statistics and the market clearing price reflect only the bids that were not rejected.

1937 pontiac air ride problems
Hey everyone, I have a 37 pontiac streetrod with airbag suspension by air ride tech, I am running bag over leaf in the rear with a few leafs removed and bags in place of the stock coils up front with factory kingpin, knee action shock set up. The problem is, is that this car rides like crap. I drove it before the car was rodded out and it drove smooth as silk, now with the bags, its horrible. It doesnt matter what height I ride at, or what pressure I am running, its just bad, by bad I mean bouncing all the time, not a sloppy bounce like if you had bad shocks but a tight bounce, kinda like when you run too low and hit the bumpstops, but I know its not hitting them. I have been doing some reading and I have read that basically if you wanna use your car as a driver, then the you wont be happy with airbags, I heard they are good for trailer queens, which my car is not, I cruise at 70-75 on the hwy with all the other traffic and in whatever weather mother nature hands out that day. I find it hard to beleive that you can't get an airbag set up to ride nice, especially since guys are using them in muscle cars to improve handling. I have about had it with this airbag set up and I am about to rip the whole set up out and just run the car low and deal with the parking lots and speedbumps. Can anyone offer any advice??? Thanks, Jack
Pictures would help. I would recommend posting on Air Rides forum. I've had genuine Air Ride Technologies parts on 3 vehicles all daily drives and love it.
Yes, some pictures would be good.
We'll need you to answer some questions in order to give you some advice.
Is your 37 Pontiac still running the stock suspension in the front? Rear?
Who gave you the reccomendations of which bags to use for your application?
Were the airbag kits a dedicated kit for your car or were they a universal install.
Are you using airbags or shockwaves?
What pressure do you need to run to get a proper ride height?
Front? Rear?
Are the bags mounted where the coil springs were originally mounted? Did you have to trim the frame to get the bags to fit, or were the bags selected to fit inside your frame.
What type of shocks are you using, and how are they mounted. (straight up and down? angled? Is the shock mounting point far out on the lower control arm and close to the wheel?)
Did you check for full suspension travel with the springs and shocks out before you installed the airbags?
Are you using the tall stock rubber bumpstops or the short poly ones that come with the airbags?
Did you check for full shock travel with the bags installed?
Is the front end stiffness more of a problem, or the rear? Or both ends of the car?
How much distance between the bumpstops and axle do you have at the proper ride height? Distance between bumpstop and lower control arm.
How do you know that the suspension is not bottoming out on the bumpstops.
It leads me to think that because you tried every pressure in the bags and the ride does not change, that there is an issue with the suspension itself, or the bag size, and how the shocks or bags are mounted.
I've installed a bunch of airbags, and the ride quality was easily changed with pressure changes, but too low of a pressure always made the car hit the bumpstops.
Alot depends on how much suspension travel you have, and the motion ratios . If you lower the car and install a too small bag so that you need a bunch of pressure to attain ride height and the ride will be stiff. I've had Air Ride Technologies specify too small an airbag for an application, and at the pressures required to attain proper ride height the ride was stiff, something to do with the physics of the compressibility of a gas.
What you heard about airbags in general being only good for trailer queens is not true, semi trucks have used airbags for many years because the ride quality was much better than springs...Look at a big moving truck, many of them use airbag suspension to protect the furniture and fragile items in their loads.
Buses use them, so do some railway cars. Guys with touring motorcycles use them as well. I made my own airbag setup for the solo seat on my rigid frame harley, and it rides great.
Later, mikey
my signature lines...not really directed at anyone in particular..
BE different....ACT normal.
No one is completely useless..They can always be used as a bad example

Erik Preuss Communications Intern Weleda North America
I just recently began my internship at Weleda. I realized right from the start that it was the perfect environment for me to learn in. While I had never previously used any of Weleda's products—I was too busy complaining about the Mets on my sports blog to notice my hands were in need of moisturizer—, I firmly believed in the company's values and sustainable practices. My parents raised me with the belief that the environment must be protected at all costs. They would frequently take me shopping at Whole Foods, because in their minds, eating organic was not only healthier for themselves but helped the environment as well. I have wholeheartedly embraced my parents' ideas about organic products and the importance of protecting the environment, and I have tried to live my life in the same manner. When the chance to intern in Communications at Weleda presented itself to me, I jumped at the opportunity. I was ecstatic to be offered an internship in the field that I hope will become my profession.
I look forward to learning more about Weleda's history and natural products over the course of my internship. I am greatly looking forward to gaining more knowledge about communications, how to live a more natural life, and whether or not the Weleda After Shave Balm can cure my razor burn in the morning. Stay tuned to find out!

I came down with the worst case of eczema in my life about 2 and a halfs years ago. My entire body looked like I was a burn victim. I'm still recovering. Yeast caused my ezcema. I practically bathed in coconut oil and swear by quality versions of it. For my lips coconut oil didn't work. They were swollen and blackened by the ezcema. The ONLY THING that HEALED MY LIPS WAS THIS BALM. I use it now for prevention. Please make a hand and or body version. It saved my skin naturally. I stopped ALL STEROIDS because they started to thin my skin and wanted to heal with natural products . I truly believe in this product. Thank you.
This product is unbelievable. While shopping at Sprouts, I often check the little basket for free samples because they prove to be excellent. This little sample pack is quintessential for dry feet, hands, elbows, etc. Immediately, I instructed my son to drop by the store and purchase the 2.5 oz today. On October 2, 2016, a tall and very distinguished gentleman sat beside me in Sunday school asking, "Do you have any lotion in my purse." He looked like a professional basketball player, but I am too polished to asked a gentleman of his professional status not knowing for sure. He was far too handsome and dapper. I really desired to tell him, "Hold on, I'll be right back with that lotion." A lady walked in taking a seat to my immediate left; I asked her for her lotion and gave it to him. I hope that count for something. [Smile] Anyway, I left my lotion in the car by mistake. I wished I had a few packs of these samples to give him one. He now frequent my Sunday school class and I am simply mesmerized at his presence. You should hear the sound of his voice. You know what will be in my purse from now on. Yes, "Weleda Skin Food!" If I should marry him [smiling], it shall, likewise be in our estate in each lavatory especially in the guests lavatory. Excellent product!
This cuticle pen is amazing! I have very dry cuticles due to age and chemo. This has softened my hands, and especially helped my feet. Thank you so much for a very useful and good product!

text: I wasn't being snippy at all. That was simply a general statement based on what I've gotten in response from many posters during the course of the discussion (over numerous threads). I guess it sounds that way if it was a directly at you personally. That wasn't my intention. Please excuse my lack of proper expression. What this statement does is highlight the difference in approach from a coaching standpoint. It doesn't go very far to determine exactly what the teams does in ever game over a 2 year period, IMO. Personally I think that DET was much better than MIA in the 05 ECF and shouldn't have needed 7 games. I didn't think they focused on in the paint play enough during that series which is why I thought they struggled and barely got out of that series.

Carolina (23-3, 11-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) used its swarming defense to stifle the Demon Deacons early, keeping the visitors from attempting a field goal for nearly three minutes to open the game. Wake had pulled within six at 22-16 before the Tar Heels went on a 17-4 run that effectively put the game away before halftime.
McDaniel fueled another long run after the break, as the freshman standout scored nine points in a 5-minute stretch that made it 62-31 with 10 minutes to play.
Ruffin-Pratt, who was limited due to a bruised ankle, showed no ill effects in her nine minutes, scoring 13 points on 4-of-6 shooting, including 11 in an 8-minute burst late in the first half.
Chelsea Douglas scored 13 points, including the 1,000th of her career, to lead Wake Forest (11-14, 4-9 ACC).
The Tar Heels outrebounded their in-state counterparts by six and produced 20 points from 23 Deacon turnovers.
UNC has now won three straight since falling at home to Duke and will travel to Florida State on Sunday as part of a stretch of four road games in five. That game in Tallahassee is scheduled for 1 p.m. and will be televised by the ACC Regional Sports Network.

Hi guys. This is my first post and I want to say hi to everybody and thanks in advance. I'm a novice engine builder but am smart enough to do lots of homework and ask for help from more knowledgeable people than me. I'm looking for some advice on building a pump gas Hydraulic roller 327. I have researched a lot of the 60's era builds but they were all 11:1 compression motors with solid cams (30 30 cams). I'm looking to get about 425 HP and even more important as much torque and mid range power that I can get out of this mighty mouse on pump gas (9.5:1 compression). This will be a 80% street vehicle (and yes before anyone says it, I know that I could get more power out of a 350 or 383 but everybody have those and i want something different. I have built a 350 but have always been interested in the mighty mouse 327's ...plus a 327, would be more correct to the truck it's going in) Here's what I have. I have a 1966 Chevy short-wide PU. It has a 12 bolt with 3.73 gears with a 700R4. I'm going to have about a 2000-2500 stall. I have a 68 327 block with forged crank that unfortunately will have to go to .060 over to be cleaned up. The block is at the machine shop as we talk getting bored, aligned honed, decked to .010, and balanced. I thought about going with a 6" rod but have decided to stay with 5.7's. To get my compression ratio right (about 9.5:1), I'll be using forged flat top pistons (probably Speed Pro brand) with Moly rings, machine shop owner is going to recondition some forged i beam connecting rods (he builds a lot of circle track cars and some customers replace them after one use but he guarantees that they are good). I will be using ARP rod and main bolts. Machine shop owner recommended following cam XE294 HR from Comp cams. it's duration at .050 is 242 (intake) and 248 (exhaust) with 110 degree lobe separation and valve lift of .54 (intake) and .562 (exhaust). I have always used hydraulic flat tappet cams but was told that a roller could take more duration. This will mainly be a street truck (no AC but possibly could have some day) so I don't want to accidentally put to much cam in it like a lot of people do. Does this cam look OK to you guys? As far as the heads, I'm looking at the Dar SHP, Aluminum, Assembled, 72cc Chamber, 200cc Intake Runner Cylinder Heads. They have 2.02 intake and 1.6 exhaust valves. (I don't know if I should go with a smaller intake runner size 185 cc or larger ones like the 200 cc or 215 cc. Can someone explain this too me? These heads are assembled but I will match springs to cam. I plan on using an Edelbrock Performer RPM Air Gap intake (1500 to 6500 rpm). I have two carburetors to choose from. I have a Holley 4150 750 Double Pumper or a 600 cfm Edelbrock. I'm thinking the Holley 750 might be best. Anyways, guys any and all advice would be appreciated. Thanks
Sounds like you got your ducks in a row to me. On the cam, that one is big but with your stall, deep first gear, and rear gears you might be okay. It'll want more rpm before it hits its sweet spot and that shouldn't be a problem because the 327s like to rev. Dropping 10* may be better suited to street use. A cam of given duration will act smaller in a 400cid motor than it will in a 300cid motor. That 242 cam would be large in 383, in a 327 it's going to be radical.IMO the 185 heads would be better because the motor is smaller, relatively. The bigger the port volume in the heads, the more volume of air you have to get moving before you have velocity of movement. Then again if you plan on running it to 7500rpm regularly go with the 200cc heads.On the carburetor, I have learned to use the AFBs and Holleys have near infinite tuning. If you plan on running it to 7500rpm, the 750 will better suit your combination.CFM = (RPM x CID) / 3456This formula does not consider volumetric efficiency. CFM = (CID x RPM x VE) / 3456This formula takes volumetric efficiency into consideration. Most street engines do well to see more than 85% VE unless it's got forced induction. If you plan to keep it under 6500rpm and figure it at 85% VE the 600cfm AFB will do the trick.
When I built my 327 I used vortec heads. I bought them straight from gm. I had the valve guides cut down and I used the largest xtreme 4x4 flat tappet cam comp offered. Is it fell in right at 9:1 compression, and it pushed my 3700lb truck into the mid 13s in the quarter. It was a very strong running engine.
again I'm a novice ...but why did the valve guides need to be cut down and do you have the cam specs? How does lift numbers on a hydraulic roller compare to that of a hydraulic flat tappet? apples to oranges?
I'm at work right now so ill post all the specs of my 327 when I get home tonight, but as for cutting down the valve guides vortec heads in stock form will only allow for a .480 max lift. The cam I used was .498exhaust .480 intake so I had the valve guides trimmed to clear the slightly larger cam.
I built me 327 starting out with a .30 bore, stock rods with arp wave lock bolts, flat top pistons, I always have it balanced and highly recommend it. Using vortec heads with 64cc chambers and a .015 head gasket brought my compression to 9:1 and the quench to .035. A tight quench is important in any performance engine. Weiand steath intake with a holley 650 double pumper. The cam was a comp xtreme 4x4. 270/278 advertised 226/234 at .050. .480/.498 lift. 111 degrees lobe separation. In an 85 c10 with a nv3500 5 speed and 3.55 gears weighing in at 3700lbs it run 13.50s. If I could do it again I would have bought the RHS pro torker vortec heads and a small dome to get 10:1 compression and run the comp xtreme 4x4 roller cam 280/284 advertised 230/234 at .050. .474/474 lift. 111 degrees lobe separation. But with 1.6 Rockers to push it to .505 lift. I think that combo would easily get you to your 400+ HP goal.
I had a typo. I ment to put a .030 overbore.
OK, I've changed my build up some. Let me know what you guys think of this combination and please offer ant suggestions you might have. I am now going with a hydraulic flat tappet instead of roller (couldn't justify hp gain to cost). I chose the Comp Cams XE 274 (230 intake and 236 exhaust @.050). I'm going to put some Brodix IK 180 aluminum cylinder heads (70 cc and 180 intake runners)with some mild porting and polishing. I'm also going to use a gasket matched Brodix HP 1 intake manifold with a Holley DP 750 on top. I was told that I'm probably gonna need to put smaller jets in. I'm using Speed Pro forged Aluminum flat-tops (+5.4 cc) pistons and had my block decked to .010. If my figures are right using a .041 head gasket, this will give me about a 9:5:1 compression ratio. I'm hoping that this combination will get me about 425 hp and about 400 ft lbs of torque. The block and rotating assembly is at the machine shop getting balanced and final hone. It won't be long before I can start building this mighty mouse. I'm so excited I can't hardly stand it. I love hearing a motor come to life!!!
Help, I've got another question. Did 68 large journal blocks use small journal main bolts? Machinist told me that ARP 123 5001 were wrong and that I need ARP 134 5002 (which is for small journal). I know they changed blocks up in 68 and that they changed from small to large journals (well actually medium if u count 400 sbc) from 67 to 68. They also changed blocks again in 69 with 350 and last yr for 327. Are all 68 blocks this way or could this have been left over main bolts they put in my motor? I just thought it was strange. Has anyone heard of this?

Let's start with what I call "non-features". These are the things that ALL GPS's offer, but some of the companies have enough integrity not to try to pass them off as "features". It's like years ago when I saw a car ad on TV, and just for giggles, paused on the screen that listed the "included options". One of these was a "circular directional control device". That's a steering wheel. They also had the four tires listed, but I forget what they called them.
Turn-by-turn directions – A GPS that didn't offer turn-by-turn directions would be pretty useless, don't you agree? That's kind of the point of having a GPS.
No GPS subscription fee – There is no such thing as a "GPS subscription fee". If you ever come across one that does try to charge you a GPS subscription fee, run. All that a GPS does is read satellite signals. Some GPS companies used to charge a discounted annual fee for map updates, but many of them have map updates included these days.
Maps – Might as well start with the basics. All GPS's include a map pack to start. All US GPS's include the US, most include Canada and Mexico, some even include Puerto Rico. Maps for European countries, South America, etc., can typically be purchased from the GPS company. One thing to look for, though, if you're a truck driver or driving a big U-Haul or something would be a map that includes truck routes. These will route you around roads where trucks aren't allowed, or that have obstacles such as low overpasses.
Traffic – If you live in an area where traffic is a problem (Seattle, Los Angeles, New York) or are visiting one of these places, look for a GPS that includes live traffic updates. This will tell you of any upcoming traffic snarls and road closures and direct you around them.
Voice-controlled navigation – Personally, having done my time trying to get voice-controlled phone menus understand me. I don't get the appeal of this, but if you want to try to talk to your GPS instead of programming it manually, then this is a good feature for you. In theory, you can just tell your GPS where you want to go and it will program itself.
Bluetooth – But then again, what doesn't have Bluetooth these days? I've even seen Bluetooth-enabled digital watches that give you your caller ID on their faces. I will say this, though… Years ago I had a Garmin GPS with an MP3 player, so I had it rigged to my car's speakers, and it was Bluetooth-enabled. So it was GREAT to be able to hear the person that I was talking to on the phone that clearly.
Views – All GPS's have your standard overhead or over the shoulder view.
Garmin also offers a "Photoreal Junction View", which looks a little like playing a racing video game.
Some companies also offer what they call "Real View" (no pun intended, I'm sure) which is a rear-view mirror and GPS combined.
There are also GPS's that will play your music, play your movies, play your DVD's or give you directions in celebrity voices (two of the worst that I can imagine… both of which have been available from Tom Tom are Paris Hilton and Gilbert Gottfried) or do pretty much anything else that you can imagine aside from make you breakfast. There are the basics, so print this out, take it to the store and buy a GPS!

Well im off to a fairly decent start. These pieces are all in wax w/ the intent of being bronze onces finished. BTW they dont photograph well w/ flash as i found lol.
Input would be nice!
If some of you are wondering about the crack in the middle. I accidently snapped it and patched it back together. This wont be visable onces bronzed. I also filled the 3 lil dents on the right hand side back in because i made them way to deep. Tryed using the end of a pen cap, but didnt work so well.

By Joel McNamara
The proposition of traveling to a Boxing Day match always presents an American Arsenal supporter with a unique dilemma: sacrificing part of the Christmas holiday for a game that may or may not live up to the hype.
From a monetary perspective, traveling to London to see an Arsenal game the day after Christmas is a no-brainer. Airlines typically don't target the odd Christmastime footy fan with expensive rates, so the late December trips are generally going to be the most affordable.
The question is, does the Boxing Day fixture provide an experience that's unique enough to warrant leaving behind friends and family on Christmas Day?
It all depends what your definition of "unique" is. Touching down in London on Christmas day, to begin with, will probably leave you feeling a little like Cillian Murphy in "28 Days Later:" not a soul stirs on the streets, with the exception of the occasional cabbie, who is your only mode of transportation on the day.
|ArsenalReviewUSA's co-host inside Highbury
By the following morning, the tube stops certainly aren't buzzing according to normal business day standards, but you'll no doubt notice that most of the passersby are going to a football match since the rest of the population still hasn't much of a reason to leave home. Passing through a centrally located station therefore can provide an interesting experience for an American attending his first Arsenal game, as you'll engage in a fair amount of stare downs with opposing fans who are all en route to see their respective London clubs.
The stadium atmosphere, as on any other day, will depend on the magnitude of the fixture. Against Fulham on Boxing Day 2004, you got the feeling that a Boxing Day game was interfering with most of the crowd's holiday sleep schedule. That all changed, of course, once Thierry Henry dipped a shoulder, cut inside his marker and rolled the ball in past Van der Sar at the far post. Instant hangover cure.
For a Yank catching an Arsenal game for the first time, Boxing Day puts the footballing experience on a platter for you: you're surrounded by practically no one but football supporters on a day in which nothing happens but football games. Not only is it firsthand exposure to the very thing you only saw previously via television, but now you're immersed in a glut of it in the land of football.
Whether this particular Boxing Day sentiment is shared by the millions of English natives who are no doubt wrestling between whether to attend one game or take in many through the TV is a question only they can answer. It may be that it's no different for many of them to sleepily watch Arsenal beat Fulham from their easy chair than it is for me to complacently take in a Lions' loss after stuffing down a Thanksgiving dinner.
But for those who throw on their kit and venture out into the streets of London on Boxing Day, they are contributing to a footballing culture that, for a visiting Yank anyway, is at its most palpable.

Building a house on a sweet spot near the coast is a commission most architects covet. But when Hurricane Andrew slammed into South Florida, on Aug. 24, 1992, it made some reconsider the opportunity. "The biggest part of the problem [during Andrew] was the openings in the building envelope," says Brian G. Warkentin, product development manager for Loewen in Steinbach, Canada. "Flying debris broke windows and wind rushed in and ripped off the roofs."
The most destructive United States hurricane on record, Andrew caused some $26 billion worth of damage and exposed serious flaws in Florida's building standards. As a result, South Florida developed what are perhaps the nation's most stringent building codes: This High-Velocity Hurricane Zone stipulates that exterior openings must withstand 140-mph-plus winds, so houses must either be protected with shutters or windows and doors with impact-resistant glass. Subsequently, windows and doors sold here must be large missile– or small missile–certified.
code solvers Other jurisdictions have followed South Florida's lead. Over on Florida's west coast, construction codes also have changed—most noticeably for window requirements. "It's the biggest change we have experienced," architect Donald Cooper, principal of Cooper Johnson Smith, says.
Along the North and South Carolina coast—where architects must design with 130- to 140-mph wind speeds in mind—the same trends are gaining ground. "I feel like we have been designing houses the way we always have, but the window openings have been getting smaller and smaller," says Tyler Smyth, an architect with Christopher Rose Architects in Johns Island, S.C.
Christopher Rose Architects prefers to use impact-resistant glass, but if the budget is tight, the codes allow regular glass if the home is equipped with enough plywood to cover each window. That provision will soon disappear, however, leaving architects with two options: impact glass or shutters.
Code changes have reached as far as eastern Long Island, where the wind zone is a more lenient 120 miles per hour. Like other jurisdictions, the codes allow architects to build a house as "fully enclosed" or "partially enclosed," says Frederick Stelle, principal of Stelle Architects in Bridgehampton, N.Y. "With a partially enclosed house, an architect must design so that if the windows blow out, the house will stay intact," he says. An enclosed building must be designed to resist a breach of the envelope, which includes using impact-resistant glass or shutters.
New Jersey recently adopted the International Code Council's strict standards for wind resistance, structural loads, and windows and doors. "There are now some limits on us," says Michael Ryan, principal of Loveladies, N.J.–based Michael Ryan Architects. "We design based on the availability of products and what the systems allow." Ryan, who prefers Andersen for its breadth of products, says the codes discourage custom doors. "It is difficult to do now because code officials are looking for products that already have been certified." Every custom product, on the other hand, would require time-consuming testing.
Most architects agree that code changes have altered the way they design their houses. Cooper says it used to be difficult to find certain windows and doors that met requirements. "We could not get double-hung windows, so we had to switch to casements," he says. Smyth says his firm still can't always find the right products.
Fortunately, impact-resistant windows and doors are easier to locate these days and are available in greater variety. Most manufacturers have lines designed for high-wind areas. Loewen's StormForce comes in three levels of protection from simple missile–impact to products with Dade County approval. St. Paul, Minn.–based Marvin says its StormPlus is certified for high pressure, impact resistance, and energy efficiency.
LifeGuard is a specially engineered upgrade line in Medford, Wis.–based Weather Shield's Legacy Series. Available in casement, tilt double-hung, and direct set windows and French doors, LifeGuard products pass the coastal codes in Florida and other Southeast states.
You can still have large glass openings along the coast. Mill Valley, Calif.–based NanaWalls says its popular folding framed system now comes in a version that is Dade County–approved. "The SL72 meets air, water, forced entry, structural, impact, and pressure cycle requirements," says president Ebrahim Nana. "An architect can have glass openings up to 36 feet."
Bayport, Minn.–based Andersen Windows says its Stormwatch products allow architects to ditch the shutters and plywood sheets. "People want protection year-round," says Mark Mikkelson, manager of code, regulatory and technical marketing. "You don't have to put up shutters." Stormwatch products have frame, sash, and panel reinforcements, upgraded hinges, and structural silicone glazing. About 75 percent of Andersen's standard line is available with Stormwatch.
strong thinking Designing a house in a high-wind zone isn't solely about specing impact-resistant windows, however. "There are a lot of things to think about," says Timothy J. McNamara, town architect at the vacation home community of Rosemary Beach, Fla. "Some things are code-driven, some are dollar-driven, and others are about peace of mind."
Architects must consider design pressure criteria, water penetration, and the ramifications of a partially enclosed versus a fully enclosed structure. A partially enclosed structure requires exhaustive and costly construction, McNamara says. An enclosed structure, however, requires impact-resistant windows and doors, which can cost three times more than standard products.
"It is getting tougher for architects to design in these areas," says Loewen's Brian G. Warkentin. "There is so much more that they have to know. Some architects over-design when they don't need it, and the customer ends up buying a lot more window than is necessary."
To help architects determine the minimum code requirements for their jurisdiction, Andersen launched the Design Pressure Estimator and Coastal Products finder. The Web-based tool allows architects to enter certain site information such as wind speed, exposure, building category, and mean roof height, and the estimator generates the overall design pressure requirements. The product finder can also recommend Andersen products that meet the design needs. "The Estimator is fairly accurate, but the data should still be verified by a code body," Mikkelson says.
No matter which state, building in a vulnerable area is a pricey proposition. Codes now require architects to use cross bracings and tie-downs to make houses more hurricane resistant. In South Carolina, which also has a seismic requirement, codes force architects to drive concrete piles 50 and 60 feet down, adding significantly to foundation cost, Smyth says. But Cooper says this is a good thing, and it pays off in the end. Code changes did not affect his firm significantly, he says. "We believed they were good construction practices, so we had been doing them already."

In 2002, Col. Frank Lissner, head of Danish troops in Afghanistan, learned that American forces were violating the Geneva Convention and that prisoners he was turning over to them would be sent to Guantanamo rather than being treated according to regulations of the Geneva Convention. He informed the Danish government of his concerns, but nothing was done and men were sent to Cuba. Col. Lissner even received information that some of the prisoners might be innocent, but once in the hands of the Americans, guilt or innocence were the last considerations. This was at the height of Rumsfeld/Cheney belief it was impossible to violate POW rights because they lacked any such protection. A recent documentary which interviewed Danish soldiers who participated in this action expressing their concerns that any prisoner turned over to Americans would be subject to mistreatment.
There is something sad when troops in other armies mistrust the capacity of the United States military to conduct itself according to international rules and regulations. Is this still another legacy of the Bush administration?

For New Hampshire towns, it's time to vote
Town and school budgets, labor contracts, construction projects, zoning proposals and a host of other local concerns will be decided at annual town meetings Tuesday.
Local elected leaders, from library trustees to selectmen, are also on the ballot in many New Hampshire communities.
Building and infrastructure improvements are among big-ticket items. Major articles on town warrants include:
• $45,125,263 for a new junior/senior high school in Newmarket.
• $5.79 million for a new municipal complex in North Hampton. The proposal calls for construction of a new police and fire building, the construction of a new library, and renovation of the existing police station for use as administrative offices.
• Littleton has an article proposing a $1.2 million construction of a new town Department of Public Works building on town land.
• $1.4 million for a bridge reconstruction bond in Salem.
Bedford voters will consider a $30 million bond issue to improve local roads. Some 150 roads are considered in need of improvement, according to the town's Department of Public Works. Some roads have not been touched in 20 years, Public Works Director Jim Stanford told the Union Leader.
Londonderry voters will be asked to OK $102,473 to extend the collective bargaining agreement between the town and the police department employees represented by AFSCME.
Hudson voters will be asked to decide five union agreements, including pacts with police and firefighters' union.
Windham's warrant has a two-year teachers' contract, $488,269 the first year and $505,237 the second year.Warrant articles up for votes Tuesday include funding for many social service nonprofit agencies, as well as for arts and entertainment functions in town.
In Milford, for example, the warrant features $20,000 to support the Pumpkin Festival and holiday decorations, and $8,500 for fireworks in connection to a July 4th celebration.
In Raymond, voters will be asked to approve $50,000 to fund Raymond's 250th anniversary celebration.
Not all towns conduct their annual municipal business March 11. Some towns hold their annual sessions later this spring. Merrimack, for example, has its town deliberative session March 12, and its ballot voting April 8.
Other items up for a vote Tuesday include:
• $180,000 to upgrade Londonderry's highway garage.
• $1.9 million in Salem to buy fire vehicles, including a new ladder truck.
Milford voters will see a proposed purchase of a new ladder truck for the Fire Department, for a total cost of $770,000.
A $275,000 article in Windham aims to boost multi-use recreational fields.

You've got me, Bob !
I'm "aware" of the Brit deal, but have never seen one.
One of my "problems" is the huge amount of "time space" between my bird hunting for food (ducks, pheasants, grouse, prairie chicken) youth years,
and my coming around to becoming a right-wing gun nut instead of a crazy liberal who actually contributed money to the "old" Handgun Control, Inc.
That "journey" can't be covered in a simple post. But, it eventually led to my divorce. She couldn't make "the logical journey". That was good riddance !

Search for foods based on nutrient range.
Complete the fields you wish to use for your search; leave the others blank.
All nutrient range searches are inclusive,meaning greater-than-or-equal-to and less-than-or-equal-to.
Nutrition information is based on information provided by product manufacturers. Variations may occur as the manufacturers may change their formulations or substitute another product. Serving size designation for beverages refers to total cup capacity; the actual fill may be slightly less.
Understanding % Daily Value: Daily values are set by the government and reflect current nutrition recommendations for a 2,000 calorie reference diet. You may not eat a 2,000 calorie reference diet. However, the % Daily Value information on the nutrition label can still be used to see if a diet meets nutrition recommendations for a nutrient without going through the extra steps to calculate personalized nutrient amounts.
REMEMBER: If you eat less than 2,000 calories, your total % Daily Value for an individual nutrient in all the foods you eat in one day can add up to less than 100 percent. If you eat more than 2,000 calories, your total % Daily Value for an individual nutrient in all the foods you eat in one day can add up to more than 100 percent.

Winamp + KDE = Qmmp
11 comments:
Hi Chema,ReplyDelete
Your Desktop is looking great.
Take Care.
Thanks buddy!ReplyDelete
How do you add skins to this player?. And where can you get skins?. I just installed it from Yast2 and it only has one skin.ReplyDelete
Robert, it's actually pretty simple. Probably you have found a way around it already, but in case you haven't here's how:ReplyDelete
Open Qmmp and right click on the app (near top, away from controls is a good spot), which will bring a menu. Towards the bottom you should see "Settings". Click there and you will find skins easily as part of the "Appearance" menu.
As for getting skins, there are plenty of places, but you could use 1001 SKINS.
Thanks!. And Merry Christmas:).ReplyDelete
QMMP is awesome! Thanks for the tip!ReplyDelete
Glad you liked it, LimacReplyDelete
did this qmm can to running on ubuntu genome..???ReplyDelete
@Kirnos: For Ubuntu you are better off with xmmp or better yet, Audacious. They both offer the same Winamp clone deal, can use the same skins, etc.ReplyDelete
This looks lovely. I'm pretty new to Linux. I've used Ubuntu in the past (hated it) and I was on CrunchBang for a while but it refused to cooperate with my computer, so now I'm on Linux Mint (okay I guess). Would this work fine with Mint?ReplyDelete
Oda ElisabethReplies
Thanks for your comments!Delete
This is meant for a KDE system, thus a player based on Qt. For Linux Mint, you are better off with Audacious, which is more or less the same and supports the same Winamp skins. You should find Audacious in the official repositories, no need for tweaks here. Just open the software center, search for it and download. Skins you can get from a plethora of places.

New IT technologies and abstractions, such as cloud computing, layer on top of existing ones.This may make the foundational layers less visible, but they remain just as important (or even more so).
The capabilities of a specific operating system aside, the operating system as a technology layer remains highly relevant in a cloud computing world. It insulates the application from lower-level technology (such as hardware) changes, provides a rich set of services to applications, and provides a consistent, long-lived set of interfaces to which applications can write.

OP GUNS: Overland Park stuns many by voting to allow for the "open carry" of handguns in public places starting Tuesday. But why?
"FREE STREETCARS": Why KC officials now say if voters approve downtown streetcars you won't have to pay a dime to ride them. They're going to be totally free, all day everyday.
IKEA: The metro lands one of the world's most highly sought after retailers. IKEA announces it will open a store at I-35 and Johnson Drive in Merriam in Johnson County.
AKIN STAYS IN: Embattled Republican candidate Todd Akin has made good on his promise to stay in Missouri's U-S Senate race, despite calls by top Republicans to quit following his comments about rape. A final deadline for candidates to remove their names from the Missouri ballot passed Tuesday as Akin began a statewide bus tour including a stop at Crown Center in Kansas City.
TRUTH CHECK GOVERNOR ADS: With so much attention being paid to the Missouri U-S Senate race it has literally sucked up all of the oxygen from the other political races in our region. For instance, in less than 40 days, Missouri voters will also be deciding whether they want to re-elect their governor Jay Nixon or give another guy a try. That guy is suburban St. Louis businessman Dave Spence, Nixon's Republican challenger. Nixon and Spence are currently running ads on TV to say why you shouldn't vote for the other guy. We truth check their ads.

text: I hot glued with the visor with the opaque glue. The clear glue does not work as well for some reason. I DID crack a visor, but the hot glue pulls right out if you work at it with a butter knife. It's especially easy to pull out when your visor is cracked. I would NOT put the visor on in any way that made it permanant. It really is too easy to crack it.

Wanting a mellow wood call and I have narrowed my choices down to a whisperer or longneck. Lots of opinions on the net about the two calls but haven't seen a thread comparing the two head to head. Any feedback would be appreciated! 1, 2, 3 go!
