text: You can save yourself some time and buy premade sideplates, but here is how I made two sets of them for about $10. They are slightly oversized for a final fitting in the area of the rear filler and the bottem edge. You need about .040" overlap above the stock tang, trigger group, and rear filler since the receiver is round. You could in theory measure the stock tang and trigger group heigth and just make it .040" taller, but it would leave you no room for error. I first made a rough template from some thin cardboard (a pepsi box) that had a square corner and long straight top. I mounted a trigger group in a demilled stock tang and mocked up a rear filler onto the front lug of the trigger guard and rough measured it a little under 8" from the rear of the sideplate to the inside front of the rear filler. I then removed a stock tang from demill receiver by knocking out the rivets with a drift that was about 1/2 the diameter of the rivet. Hit them hard or you'll just expand the rivet more and you'll have to drill it out. Then I traced the demilled tang section on the cardboard. Once I had my rough template I cut two, 2"x9" strips from a 9"x9" section of .080" 4130 sheet steel from wicks aircraft. I squared up the two pieces and tack welded them together at the lower left end that would end up as scrap and the right edge. I traced out my template on the steel and cut the bottem profile. When I was happy with it I cut the end of the stock tang area out of the sideplates, leaving the rear filler weld to hold the two sideplates together at this point. Next I clamped the stock tang in its spot and aligned it so it was square by measuring the distance from the bottem of the little shelf right in front of the charging handle guide to the top of the sideplate (with the .040" overlap on top) and making a mark about 5" forward of this same measurement (about a half inch). Then I took a straight edge and placed it in the cocking handle shelf of the stock tang and adjusted the stock tang until the straight edge was on the mark I had made. I put another clamp on the tang and sideplates and drilled the sideplates through the 3 rear stock tang holes with a 5/32" drill bit. Then I cut the rear filler area of the sideplates off at 8" which will leave me about 1/8"+ for final fitting. I will not cut the rear filler rivet holes or trim the sideplate length until after I repair the rear filler.

Featured Thread: Summer Primers
Today's thread is all about prime-time primers. I have combo skin that gets oilier in the summer (and moon crater pores), so I'm especially interested in this topic!
What say ye, BeautyTalk: What's your favorite summer primer? Show & Tell!
Read the whole thread here (including an excellent reply by Hall of Famer lylysa that didn't fit in this wrap-up)> http://seph.me/14z4ccL
Shop Primers> http://seph.me/11Cae87
FIY, I'm currently using the Korres Pomegranate primer, I will have to say it's not the MOST mattifying primer (compared to other staples like Mister Mat or Porefessional), but it's decent if you have normal skin and just need something a slight step up in the warmer months! It feels like a light weight lotion and smells great!
My favorite summer primer has always been the Urban Decay Pore Perfecting Complexion Primer Potion. It's not too heavy or too light for my skin and really keeps my makeup staying on! Of course I also do a quick blast of KVD Lock n Load setting spray!
My favorite summer primer is the hourglass mineral veil I live in the South and this stuff really holds up.
I'm not a fan of face primers, just eye primers, just because I don't see any difference with or without it on my face. My makeup lasts all day on me--I have normal to dry skin and I find that my face cream locks in my foundation perfectly.
I love Hourglass Mineral Veil, although it is expensive I've found it really is the best! It keeps shine at bay and my makeup lasts all day.
On another note, I'm super excited to try Benefit's new stick primer, seems interesting and very convenient.
I am not sure why but my skin gets cranky when I frequently use a primer that contains silicone. When I really need to have my makeup last all day for a special occasion, I use MUFE HD Primer.
For normal days I like to use Korres Quercetin & Oak face primer. It's definitely made for dry or mature skin. When I use a primer, I tend to apply them lightly to the center of my face from the eyebrows to the chin. That is where my larger pores and facial lines live.

? about dome piston's
Got a ? about useing dome piston's. Now some say that it's not good to use them in a street motor, and i thought i've read something about dome piston's some time ago but cant remember much about it. But did'nt the factory put dome piston's in some street motor's way back when, like the 283's and the 327's? Just curius about how high the dome has to be before it really start's to mess up the flame travel, because the dome's on my piston's are only (.125) high witch is about an 1/8 in. tall (It's just a little *****) LOL. A new set of KB flattop's are gonna cost another 2 bill's witch is not with in my budgit at this time. So if some body would please tell me (What's it gonna hurt ) to run small domed piston's on the street. A little run down on my set up ( 350 sbc board .030, .010 deck height, .041 head gasket, 76cc head's, Speed Pro .125 popup domed piston's with a piston volume of -3.5 and should yeld just under 10.0:1 C/R. (Please Advise)
the flame travel issue is more of an issue with domed pistons of course...I mean if you can achieve the same compression ration with a flat top or dished piston, thats the way to go, but,Im more concerned about your 10.0:1 in a street engine than the flame travel issue.I mean, you can do it, with good gas & careful tuning.
Why domed pistons are not recommended on a street engine is due to the compression created, back in the day as you refer to when high performance small blocks came with domed pistons, there was 117 octane leaded gasoline right around at the corner station that also had a anti detonation agent added in with it. Today the highest grade gas is 93 octane unleaded with no anti detonation agent. high compression on low octane fuel spells detonation which will quickly destroy a engine. the cam plays a role on the street with high compression since bigger cams bleed off some cylinder pressure at low RPM`s but this don`t make it any safer since it makes up for it at high RPM when you can`t always hear detonation. there are several additives you can add to help. setting a good Quench also helps to fight off detonation, another thing you can do is make sure there are no sharp edges anywhere on the piston top or the combustion chamber, as these develop hot spots that can cause detonation. Less spark advance will also help, but less power output will be the result.
ThanX for the quick reply, I feel what your say'in about the 10.0:1 C/R but with a set of KB flat top's with a +7.0 piston volume would yeld me right around 9.0:1 with a set of .041 head gasket and around 9.2:1 with a set of .028 head gasket. With my piston's i get around 9.89:1 with a set of .041 head gasket and 10.0:1 with the same .028 head gasket. Yea your problebly right the 10.0:1 be'in a bit much for pump gas, i guess i'll just hold off untill i can fit the KB's into the budgit.
with 76cc heads you can run the Speed pro H631CP pistons, they have a flat top design with 2 valve reliefs and a coated skirt, they also won`t break the bank and don`t require the rings be gapped like the KB piston does. They are avalible all over Ebay at the buy it now price of $149.00 from dirt track thunder, or you can order them direct from dirt track thunder for around the same price and get free shipping.
dirt track thunder are a bunch of good guys
there very helpful. i was looking to buy a set of
iron eagle heads from them. they asked what for
and what i have. then told me to use my world product
heads. they were willing to give up a $799.00 sale
to give good advice

Super Bowl 44
Super Bowl 44 will be played this Sunday with the New Orleans Saints taking on the Indianapolis Colts. Many people with gather together that day to sit and relax in front of the TV and watch the game. The Super Bowl of course is a huge day for advertisements and many enjoy watching the commercials more than the game. This year it has been reported that a 30 second commercial aired during the Super Bowl costs $3 million.
A recent article that Charity Navigator was quoted in asks "what if an ad was run to promote charitable giving or what if that $3 million was given to a charity instead of to CBS?"
In fact, Pepsi will not be running an ad for the first time in 23 years and instead they will be pledging $20 million in grants to a social media campaign.
Just some "extra" food for thought as you watch the game and eat your Buffalo Wings! Enjoy the game....and the commercials too!

I'm looking forward to the commercials as much as the game. Always creative, some controversial.

Do a screen capture of the webcam if you can. That would help a bunch.
My first post and I hope some of you knowledgable folks can help me out.
My wife is out of town settling a relative's estate and has stumbled upon a unique (to me) handgun. I have googled my brains out and have come up with nothing. I have only viewed it on her webcam and this is the best description I can come up with
It's about a foot long, single shot, with an in-line external hammer with TWO TRIGGERS within a trigger guard. I believe it breaks open like a shotgun to load as there appears to be a pin protruding vertically in front of the trigger guard. I cannot discern the caliber as she refuses to point it at her webcam. It has no markings other than a four digit number on the butt. It has wooden grips and the side plates are not a smooth blue steel. The sideplates look like a dull mottled coloring sort of what Ruger used on some of it's revolvers.
My wife is afraid to handle it insofar as trying open the action or ascertain the function of the triggers.
Knowing the previous owner (94 years old) I think the weapon may date to somewhere around WWII. He was not a gun collector, but was in that war in Europe. She has also found a Colt 45 with foreign language markings.
I wish I could provide more information, but that's all I have.
Can someone point me to a resource?
Any help appreciated
Do a screen capture of the webcam if you can. That would help a bunch.
How do I post a pic of this weapon?
Sounds like a target pistol w/double-set trigger, something along the lines of what today is known as a "Free Pistol".
Can't wait to see pics....
Ok here it is. Somebody PLEASE tell me what it is.
Additional info on description. From the tip of the muzzle to the rear sight is 11.5 inches. So that puts it about 15-16 inches long overall.
Barrel is six-sided, there is an adjustment screw between the triggers.
Other closeups I have show not a scratch on the wood.
Thanks to Shipwreck for info on how to post a link to the pic.
Don't know what it is but it's COOL. Kind of like a TC Contender.
Sweeeeet... Snag it if you can... Looks like it's still a shooter. It's gotta be worth something... Somebody here will help you.
Send off the pic to a few of the manufacturers too. Thompson Center might have a guy who could help.
I agree... OOOOOOLD target pistol with a set trigger.
Good luck
Man..I'd love to see a few close up pics of different angles of that weapon. It sure is a uncommon find. It would make a great addition to any ones collection.
I'm really curious about who makes it. It looks to be pretty old but well cared for.
It's a target pistol, probably from the period 1875 through 1920, or thereabouts.
It is based upon a small Remington "rolling block" action, maybe originally for a rifle, maybe originally for a pistol (they made both).
It has double-set triggers.
How to make sure that it's safe:
Point the pistol in a safe direction. Do not touch the hammer, which appears to be down ("fired").
Pull the rear trigger until it "clicks" into place. If it doesn't "click," then it's already set, so stop. Pull the front trigger, which should go off almost just because you're looking at it (light trigger pull).
Now it's safe to cock the hammer by pulling it all the way back until it, too, "clicks" into the cocked position and stays there.
Next, flip the rotating breech-block back and down, using the "ear" that protrudes from it. When the breech-block is open, the gun won't fire, no matter what you do.
Look into the breech. It should be empty, so you can see all the way out the muzzle end of the barrel. If it isn't, there's something stuck in its bore, so take it to a gunsmith. If there's a cartridge in it, remove it yourself.
Once the barrel is completely empty, you can "ear" the breech-block closed. To safely drop the hammer, thumb it back past cocked a little, pull the front trigger and hold it all the way back, and carefully lower the hammer all the way down.
Now that you know it's empty, you can handle it and try to discover its caliber, and whether it's a center- or rim-fire (they made both).
It appears to have modern sights. It may have been made in modern times from an old action, instead of having been made when the action was new.
Maybe remove the fore-end, and look for markings.
A real Remington action is quite strong, and can be used with modern cartridges if the barrel is sound and properly made. Ask a gunsmith for advice, if it uses anything more powerful than .22 Long Rifle.
After making sure that the triggers are not set (see "making it safe," above), cock the hammer, open the breech, insert a cartridge, close the breech, assume your shooting position (pointing the gun downrange), and cock the rear trigger by pulling it back past the "click." Sight carefully, and then just touch the front trigger. Bang!
I just want to say thanks to everybody for the help and info. At least now I have some information to go on. Can't wait to get this to an appraiser.
Again, thanks

The 17-century Bowne house in Flushing, Queens is getting restored after ownership was transferred to the city. With $5 million from the city, state and private groups, Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe announced the plan to restore it is moving "full speed ahead," according to the Daily News.
Benepe noted that "the Bowne family has also left its mark on the city again and again, helping New York City become the cradle of tolerance and diversity." The house is looked at as a symbol of religious freedom; the original owner John Bowne was arrested in 1662 for allowing Quakers to worship there (the faith was banned at the time under New Amsterdam law).
The home is the oldest structure in the borough, and the restoration will hopefully be done by 2012.

This forum is dead so i figured i'd might as well post up some of my w/m setup.
I'm using a CoolingMist Stage 3+
CM 200psi pump
CM VCM2 digital controller
CM Stainless Steel Solenoid
CM Flow meter
CM low level float (not installed yet)
CM Super Atomizer (CM7) injector
CM 1 Gallon tank
Controller on the pass. seat.
Looks like this
Hid it pretty well....
And what its cooling
Still in the tuning stage. The controller has a ton of features and controls everything. Its a boost based system but i have the option of volts...or both (boost/volt). As of now its set at 50% duty cycle till around 15 psi. Anything above that is 85% DC. It will get fully tuned when i hit the dyno.
The reason why i went with CoolingMist was due to their controller offers more then the SP controller for much less. Their inj. or built for this rather then others using agriculture type inj. CM's has a controller in standard gauge size (went with the box because it was on sale)
Overall i'm happy. Only took me a day to install it. The controller is easy to use once you get the hang of it. Everything is wired to the controller including the solenoid. It even has an option for me to wire in my boost controller solenoid as a failsafe (cuts the boost to a min when there's no fluid.)

All grown up from his Marky Mark days, but looking equally sexy, Mark Wahlberg suited up for a photocall for his new film, "Broken City," at the Hotel Ritz Carlton in Berlin, Germany on Monday (February 4).
The 41-year-old actor looked dashing in a black three-piece suit with a maroon tie as he posed for a multitude of photos.
Scaring up some competition, "Mama" took over the top spot at the box office for the weekend of January 18-20, 2013.
The Jessica Chastain fronted horror film took in an impressive $10 million on Friday with a total estimated take of $28.1 million for its first weekend in theaters.
Out to show off his latest work, Mark Wahlberg attended the Miami premiere of "Broken City" on Wednesday evening (January 9).
The hunky star kept it casual in black pants and a white tee as he posed for pictures with fans and signed autographs before heading in the venue.
In anticipation of its release next month, a new TV trailer for the cop thriller "Broken City" is now available.
The Allen Hughes-directed film follows ex-cop Billy Taggart who seeks redemption--and revenge--after being double-crossed and then framed by its most powerful figure, the mayor. Billy's relentless pursuit of justice, matched only by his streetwise toughness, makes him an unstoppable force--and the mayor's worst nightmare.
Earlier this week 20th Century Fox released a poster for "Broken City," and today the first teaser trailer went live.
The much-anticipated flick is due to hit theaters on January 18th, 2013 with a cast that includes Mark Wahlberg, Russell Crowe, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Barry Pepper, and Kyle Chandler.

How do we convince Congress to make those relatively small tweaks now? Josh Gordon, policy director at the bipartisan Concord Coalition, thinks the debate should focus on Social Security's negative cash flow instead of on a faraway insolvency date.
Social Security added $45 billion to the deficit last year, and that amount will rise sharply by the end of this decade as Baby Boomers retire. "It really is a federal budget urgency," Gordon said. "If we wait 20 or 30 years to make changes, there will be too much debt growth."

Arsène Wenger is confident that Samir Nasri will sign a new contract with Arsenal in the summer.
The Arsenal manager has previously declared his intention to hold negotiations with the French midfielder at the end of the season but does admit there is no 'gentleman's agreement' in place.
Having said that, Wenger has again stressed his desire to keep Nasri at the Club and hopes a deal will be done soon.
"I will do anything possible to make him stay," he said. "We will do it at the end of the season."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

Discussion in 'February 2014' started by roscoe36, Oct 21, 2013.
By your question, I assume you missed the game.
Players are poor players if they add nothing to your team. And they do not belong in the NBA if they make both your offense and defense worse if they are on the floor. Singler falls into the latter category. Smith. The other team spends plenty of time worrying about how to stop him from getting inside and scoring. In contrast, they pay scant attention to Singler. Do you disagree? Do you really think the other team spends much time and energy to prevent Singler from scoring inside. Ask the same question for Drums vs. Singler. Do you believe the other team spends more time worrying about how to keep Drums off the glass, or do they spend more time worrying about Singler getting inside and scoring on them. All such questions have the same answer, they ignore Singler, giving them an extra player to guard our other 4. Singler is making his outside shots, but that is only meaning the other team occasionall shadows him, still keeping the player primarily inside. Now, if Singler could actually shoot over people, they would have to play up on him, and then he would actually be spacing the floor.
That wasn't a question. Are you claiming that Singler played SG all game?
I don't see how anyone can credibly claim to know what the opposing team is talking about in practice and during the games. No, it's meaningful if they sag off him and he makes the shots (makes them pay). It's irrelevant if he spaces the floor if he's making shots when wide open.
Tayshaun Prince...
Over the past month, here's how Kyle Singler ranks on the team among players who averaged more than 10 minutes a game: 5th in FG% (the only wing player shooting better than him is Bynum) 2nd in FT% (behind Stuckey) 2nd in 3Ps made (behind Jennings) 5th in Pts (behind the other 4 current starters) So, among our current starters, he is : - the wing player with the highest FG% - best FT shooter - 2nd best 3pt threat The other 4 are bigger threats than him for sure. But he is currently the best shooter Detroit has on the floor when the game starts. Every team must cover the other team's best shooter, even if that said shooter is a blind, 3' tall midget who is missing an arm. When you're in a fight, and the other guy pulls out a small pocket knife, you don't simply ignore it because that knife does not belong in a proper fight. Really, the defensive scheme for the other team is easy. Pack the paint and keep an eye on Singler. Then just let Jennings and Smith bomb the game away. Also, over the past month, the no-defense Singler is: 4th in Rebounds 1st in Steals 4th in Blocks (almost has as many blocks as Moose) Singler is the least of our problems. Just get off it already.
if yall have the ridicously audacity to think spending 15 seconds talking about Kyle Singler is the reason why this team is the most underachieving team in NBA 2014, you know nothing about nada.. release the hunds!!!!!!
He does not make them pay. He lets the shortest guard on the other team run him off the 3 point line rather than shoot the ball. Far too little defensive attention is paid to Singler. This last game vs. GS was the most attention seen paid to him of the last several. Still was not much. When Dallas beat us, all they did for the fist half is have Calderon keep about half an eye on him, and Singler got us one made triple for that half. Also, it should be obvious to anyone that if we are starting a taller guy at shooting guard, we should be posting him up against shorter guards. We do almost none of this. Maybe you want to blame the coach. Go ahead. Me, I doubt Singler has the skill. I doubt he has the size. I doubt he has the ups. To take advantage of shorter players in the post.
Posting up our shooting guard with Smith, Monroe, and Drummond clogging the paint and Jennings the lone threat on the perimeter? Singler already gets 36% of his shots in the paint. 36/64 is a pretty nice ratio, especially given our need to spread the floor. Smith is 40/60 for comparison. If anything, the coaches need to find ways to get Singler way more attempts. That is something that I'm sure we can all agree on (excluding people in the tanking camp).
You could also simply not play Singler, and be way ahead. Getting rid of one of our two worst defensive liabilities can not hurt us too bad. Getting rid of Singler, and Bynum, would do wonders for our D. Someone mentioned Singler can not post up because of who plays with him. As he plays the entire game, who plays with him keeps changing. But hey, if you think we lack the players to let Singler ever post up, heck, just another good reason not to play Singler. Again, if we are going to give up all that footspeed by letting Singler on the floor, we sure had better get something out of his height. If not, he should not be playing.
He's probably our best outside shooter. He does make them pay. You completely disregarded my argument, which showed your position to be incorrect. If he is making any outside shots when left open (because you complain he doesn't draw attention) then he's being successful. He is making them pay for leaving him open. You might have an argument if he was a bad shooter. But he is not. Sorry Lee, every way you turn on this Singler thing, it doesn't jive. You can come at people for not watching the games, or not watching the games as many times as you, but it's not helping you make your case.
We can't even get our bigs to post up. Why would we worry about posting Singler?
No, he does not make them pay. Instead, when the ball is passed to him, a short guard runs out at him and he passes the ball. If left totally, completely unguarded, yes, he does make them pay. But its a rather rare thing that they leave him that open. Generally, the guy watching him still has plenty of time to boost the interior D for their team. In this last game, he scored 14 in the first half. He did in the 2nd half make them play him just a bit more honest. But we still lost. Its not working. His 4 points in the 2nd half was not enough considering how little extra effort they put toward watching him. That is too much extra defensive attention Singler is not drawing away from the other players on the floor with him. Could Singler ever get better? Could he start knocking down shots even if a short guard darts out there, who he should be able to shoot over? Could he ever learn to create his own shot? Could he learn to get his shots off quicker, so even if they used a small forward to go out and challenge him, he could still make a shot? Getting toward the end of his 2nd year, and its not happening yet. None of it. Occasionally, he will get that shot off as someone challenges. But most of the time, the other team does not have to ever put a guy solely on Singler, or even close to being all dedicated to Singler. In sum, Singler certainly does not make them pay. Instead, the other team gets a lot more out of ignoring Singler, vs. what Singler gives us on offense. If you played Singler in just an occasional role, and if Singler could still knock down shots with less reps, he could be useful. But having a guy out there that the other team can plan its offensive attack around, as well as easily planning their defensive schemes based on his weaknesses, and further, having him out there the entire game so those plans always work, is bad coaching.
From now on, every time I see one of Lee's posts, I'll just read my own signature instead. I can't tell the difference any more.
Right, so he makes them pay for sagging off. I know you want to lament that he doesn't score inside, but we have enough guys trying to score inside, we actually need outside shooting, which Singler provides. So now you're saying that a guard runs out to him when he is on the perimeter with the ball, after previously claiming they sagged off of him. And yes, he's making them pay when they choose not to guard him. Basically, the best possible outcome one could hope for.
Bynum sure. But the reality is that the Pistons suck big time on defense when both are sitting on the bench and get better when Singler goes on the floor. I don't really understand where you are going
It was an impression I have been working on. Obviously not up to scratch yet.
Problem with Tayshaun clones is who get's to hold the ball and does the iso while running down the shotclock. They would be fightng eachother for the ball.
It's the same way you can credibly claim to know that the coach is intentionally loosing,, that the coach has totally no effort and that the owner is obsessed with playing Singler at all costs.
So you claim the 3 minutes Singler was off the floor, we were bad at D? Just how bad were we? Did you watch the game. If so, please comment on all our defensive problems for those 3 minutes.
Separate names with a comma.

The first mobile collection event for household hazardous waste in the Kansas City area is happening on April 5 in Independence, Missouri. The event takes place on the corner of Walnut and Liberty Street near the Independence Square from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
This is the kickoff of the mobile collection events for the year and is for all household hazardous waste materials. Click here for a list of acceptable materials.
There are two types of mobile events, one for household hazardous waste (HHW), and the other type of event is only for the following materials: antifreeze, batteries, oil and paint (ABOP). The HHW type of event takes an extensive list of items to be recycled, but the ABOP takes just what the acronym stands for.
Since the April 5th event is the kickoff, Barbara Hensley, public affairs director for the Mid-American Regional Council, said they wanted to give residents a chance at some spring cleaning.
"What they try to do is give people a chance to clean out their garages and under their sinks to get rid of all they have collected throughout the winter," Hensley said.
The next mobile collection event is scheduled for April 19. This event is for residents of Blue Springs, Grain Valley and Jackson County. It is just a ABOP type of event and takes place between 8 a.m. and noon.

Infant allegedly shaken by father dies
New London – A 2-month-old boy who was flown Friday to Yale-New Haven Hospital after his father allegedly shook him has died, according to police.
According to police, the state attorney general's office will file additional charges for the death.
The baby was taken to Lawrence + Memorial Hospital early Friday and then transferred to New Haven, where he was listed in critical condition that night, police said. L+M had reported that the baby had sustained "bilateral hemorrhaging to the brain."
The baby died Saturday, Deputy Chief Peter Reichard said.
Twenty-four-year-old Adam M. Browne called 911 from his 48 Crystal Ave. apartment at 2:30 a.m. Friday to report that his son was limp and not breathing. While a dispatcher walked Browne through emergency medical procedures, the fire department sent personnel and later transported the baby to the hospital.
After Browne's alleged admission that "he shook the victim and caused the injuries," according to the police report, he was charged with first-degree assault and risk of injury to a minor, arraigned in New London Superior Court, and ordered held in lieu of a $500,000 bond. As of Friday, Browne remained in prison on a suicide watch as well as a medical and mental health watch.

The Montford Delusion
For instance: one of the proxy series used as far back as the year 1400 was NOAMERPC1, the 1st "principal component" (PC1) used to represent patterns in a series of 70 tree-ring data sets from North America; this proxy series strongly resembles a hockey stick. McIntyre & McKitrick (hereafter called "MM") claimed that the PCA used by MBH98 wasn't valid because they had used a different "centering" convention than is customary. It's customary to subtract the average value from each data series as the first step of computing PCA, but MBH98 had subtracted the average value during the 20th century. When MM applied PCA to the North American tree-ring series but centered the data in the usual way, then retained 2 PC series just as MBH98 had, lo and behold — the hockey-stick-shaped PC wasn't among them! One hockey stick gone.
Or so they claimed. In fact the hockey-stick shaped PC was still there, but it was no longer the strongest PC (PC1), it was now only 4th-strongest (PC4). This raises the question, how many PCs should be included from such an analysis? MBH98 had originally included two PC series from this analysis because that's the number indicated by a standard "selection rule" for PC analysis (read about it here).
MM used the standard centering convention, but applied no selection rule — they just imitated MBH98 by including 2 PC series, and since the hockey stick wasn't one of those 2, that was good enough for them. But applying the standard selection rules to the PCA analysis of MM indicates that you should include five PC series, and the hockey-stick shaped PC is among them (at #4). Whether you use the MBH98 non-standard centering, or standard centering, the hockey-stick shaped PC must still be included in the analysis.
It was also pointed out (by Peter Huybers) that MM hadn't applied "standard" PCA either. They used a standard centering but hadn't normalized the data series. The 2 PC series that were #1 and #2 in the analysis of MBH98 became #2 and #1 with normalized PCA, and both should unquestionably be included by standard selection rules. Again, whether you use MBH non-standard centering, MM standard centering without normalization, or fully "standard" centering and normalization, the hockey-stick shaped PC must still be included in the analysis.
In reply, MM complained that the MBH98 PC1 (the hockey-stick shaped one) wasn't PC1 in the completely standard analysis, that normalization wasn't required for the analysis, and that "Preisendorfer's rule N" (the selection rule used by MBH98) wasn't the "industry standard" MBH claimed it to be. Montford even goes so far as to rattle off a list of potential selection rules referred to in the scientific literature, to give the impression that the MBH98 choice isn't "automatic," but the salient point which emerges from such a list is that MM never used any selection rules — at least, none that are published in the literature.
The truth is that whichever version of PCA you use, the hockey-stick shaped PC is one of the statistically significant patterns. There's a reason for that: the hockey-stick shaped pattern is in the data, and it's not just noise it's signal. Montford's book makes it obvious that MM actually do have a selection rule of their own devising: if it looks like a hockey stick, get rid of it.
The PCA dispute is a prime example of a recurring McIntyre/Montford theme: that the hockey stick depends critically on some element or factor, and when that's taken away the whole structure collapses. The implication that the hockey stick depends on the centering convention used in the MBH98 PCA analysis makes a very persuasive "Aha — gotcha!" argument. Too bad it's just not true.
Different, yes. Completely, no.

The Wauwatosa School District is considering beefing up its science offerings with a course in biotechnical engineering as well as a new advanced-placement physics class.
At least in the case of the engineering course, the intent in part is to attract more female students to the sciences.
Biotechnical engineering would be part of the schools' Project Lead The Way curriculum, which integrates science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) skills to solve problems or accomplish projects that call on more than one kind of learning, said Bill Anderson, the district's supervisor of special programming.
The course description says that students would be engaged in engineering design problems related to biomechanics, cardiovascular engineering, genetic engineering, tissue engineering, biomedical devices, forensics and bioethics. They would design materials and process that measure, repair, improve and extend living systems.
The course, described as a college-preparatory class, was discussed briefly this week with the School Board.
Responding to a question by School Board member Anne Fee about why the class might attract female students, Anderson said nationally data suggests that more young women who are considering medical field work 'are pursuing biology-based experiences … than, let's say, a straight physics or chemistry field.'
Director of Student Learning Beth Erenberger added that the district's science program tends to have more 'gender equity.'
'We don't see the kind of disparity we see in engineering,' Erenberger said.
In a separate interview afterward, Anderson explained the strategy the district wants to employ.
'We're trying to use biology as the hook to get more females to start looking at the course,' he said, 'and then the engineering component is a way of exposing them, to give theme the opportunity to say, 'You know what? This is a valuable pathway, and this might be an interesting profession to go into.' '
The cost of offering the new course would include $4,800 total tuition for two teachers - one each from Tosa East and Tosa West - to take a weeklong training course, plus various other costs, the largest being biological kits for students at both schools costing a total of $7,000, according to the course proposal presented to the School Board.
A proposed Advanced Placement Physics C class would be more rigorous than the existing Physics B class, and would employ calculus, said physics teacher and science content team leader Judy Patrick. Physics B would still be offered.
About half the students who take the algebra-based Physics B class are not motivated to take the advanced-placement test because many colleges do not count the class toward certain majors, according to the course proposal document.
Students qualified for the new class would be those who have taken or are concurrently enrolled in a calculus class, which is a pool of 225 students at Tosa East, and 182 students at West, according to the course proposal. The proposal says an informal survey indicates 50 students at East might sign up for the course.
Students who take the course and do well on the AP test would be likely to get credit and possibly even be placed in a higher physics class when they go to college, Patrick said.
Juliebeth Farvour, a math teacher at East, said that there are 15 juniors who are taking Calculus BC, the highest math class the district offers. With no senior math class available, they could still keep their math skills sharp by enrolling in the proposed AP Physics C course.
Costs associated with implementing the class would include textbooks at $150 to $200 each - or less if used texts are available - plus curriculum writing at $23 an hour for two teachers for 80 hours; and a weeklong workshop at about $1,500 per teacher for up to four teachers, according to the proposal.
Erenberger and Patrick said they hoped to gain approval for the course in time to offering them next fall.
The School Board will act on both proposals at its Jan. 28 meeting.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Well to let you know your not alone. I built a brand new everything 350 sbc roller motor last year and I used world product sportsman 2's and from day one the problems would just get worse over time. I kept getting oil on my plug threads and after about two months between carb issues and the stupid heads I would have to change plugs.
I kept having miss fire problems with engine and kept checking everything and just could not find out what would cause it. Eventually it got so bad my engine would not idle very well anymore.
Anyways long story short world products uses umbrella seals on there dual spring setup heads and that is a no no with dual springs. I took the heads off and had them checked by the machine shop and I only had less then 3000 miles on my heads and the clearances was horrible on the guides and all my intake valves was just full of oil and carbon deposits.
I had all new bronze liners put in to get everything in spec and I also had the heads done up with a port job and valve job and I had them machined for viton positive stop seals. 600 bucks later they are way better then when I got them new. I will never buy a brand new set of world heads again. They are nice in themselves if everything is up to spec and better valve seals. Umbrella are about worthless to me in my opinion.
There tolerances are horrible and they don't put care into there heads like some others do. A lesson I learned when getting new heads take apart if fully assembled and check everything.
I almost lost my engine cause of carbon getting into the piston rings and I have a few scars in my cylinder walls because of it and am having to rebuild whole engine again just so its all clean. All of this cause of world being cheap on the valve seals and too much guide clearance.
The answer about pressure vs vacuum is the deal with using umbrella seals.
Usually, iron heads do better with iron guides, aluminum do better with bronze because of their different expansion rates...
|Regarding bronze liners, I've found that setting the geometry up spot-on to be essential for good durability from them. This should be done anyway, but seems to be especially critical when using liners.
Teflon "white" seals are often the cause of excessive oil use in SBC. Usually the installer trys to install them cold and damages the sealing surfaces..
If you use the "Blue" Fel-Pro type positive intake seal. You will get better oil controll.
I tend to use a good "umbrella" seal on the exhaust side. Remember there is negative pressure on intake and positive pressure on exhaust. The exhaust can use a little more oil flow and won't run down stems/guide while running.
As for bronze liners. PROPERLY INSTALLED they are the best economical repair. Will last three times as long as iron and can be run tighter clearances.
|In the past, I had bronze guides installed. This was way back in 1996. Anyways, I didn`t get 20,000 miles out of them and they were shot which really ticked me off. Instead of having them reinstalled I used cast iron guides this go round. I put many a mile on those heads, likely over 50,000 and when I sold them the guides were still in good shape. I`ve had others tell me they`ve had good luck and long use out of bronze guides, I never did so I`ve stayed away from them. When the bronze guides were removed, we noticed the ones with the most wear were worn crooked. They were fine at the top but worn to one side on the bottom which made me think it likely had some valve train geometry issues or the guides weren`t installed straight by the first machinist.
I am pretty confident that the intake manifold is sealed up but it is definitely worth checking before I start messing with the valves. I used some Edelbrock intake gaskets with high temp black RTV on the ends. The block was milled slightly to zero deck the flat top pistons but the clearances seemed to be very consistent when I set the intake in place prior to final installation. Thanks for all of the input.
Any pros and cons to having bronze valve guide sleeves installed if excessive guide clearances are indeed the problem?
|Double Vision is right on the money if you can feel play and the clearance on the guides is really more than .004 it is going to suck oil in regardless of the seal you use which is what happened to my heads. I was not aware that you should always have new heads gone through by a machine shop because they all say the quality control is not that good and naturally they would error on the side of using/burning more oil than a tight set up where something is going to seize up. Also if the block has been milled/decked the heads are likely to not seal up if they haven't been machined as well.
|If you use the rope trick in the cylinders when you do this you can pop the spring and let the valve fall slightly down and shake it, if you feel excessive play no seal is going to stop the smoking. However, another thing that`s worth mentioning here is are you positive the intake sealed? If you can pull the carb and see oil in the plenum the intake didn`t seal. What intake gaskets did you use?
Thanks for the reply.
What is interesting is those are the same heads that I am using. I picked them up used and they had just had a 3 angle valve completed on them. Hopefully new seals take care of my problem as I and my wallet would hate to have to replace the heads.
|I use that type of spring compressor and it works better than those ones that try and clamp the spring itself to compress. I had horrible luck with a "Blueprint TBI" 383 engine i purchased with the same smoking issues. They used World Product Sportsman II heads and from the factory the valve guides were way loose and it used about a quart of oil every 400 miles and was fouling plugs. They wouldn't warranty it saying that there were no defective parts. Anyways I purchased Trick Flow heads and had no further problems and i think you are fine running Vitons on both intake and exhaust, I did and never regretted it.
SBC valve stem seals and spring compressor
I have put about 75 miles on the SBC 350 that I rebuilt. I have noticed a bit of blue smoke on startup and suspect that it is the teflon comp cams positive stop valve seals that I installed. I am planning on removing these and replacing them with the viton positive stop seals instead. I have also read quite a few threads that have mentioned using the positive stop seals on the intake valves and umbrella seals on the exhaust valves. Is there any particular reason why you shouldn't run the viton positive stop seals on all valves?
When I originally installed the valve springs I used a rented compressor from Autozone which was a piece of junk and very frustrating. I have been looking at this type of compressor manley spring compressor and am wondering if it will work for occasional use. Does this tool provide enough leverage to easily compress the spring?

Juan Williams reportedly fired from NPR for comments made on The O'Reilly Factor
Blog ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
The New York Times has reported that "NPR has terminated its contract with Juan Williams, one of its senior news analysts," after comments Williams made on the October 18 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor.
From The New York Times:
The move came after Mr. Williams, who is also a Fox News political analyst, appeared on the "The O'Reilly Factor" on Monday. On the show, the host, Bill O'Reilly, asked him to respond to the notion that the United States was facing a "Muslim dilemma." Mr. O'Reilly said, "The cold truth is that in the world today jihad, aided and abetted by some Muslim nations, is the biggest threat on the planet."
Mr. Williams said he concurred with Mr. O'Reilly.
He continued: "I mean, look, Bill, I'm not a bigot. You know the kind of books I've written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous."
Mr. Williams also made reference to the Pakistani immigrant who pleaded guilty this month to trying to plant a car bomb in Times Square. "He said the war with Muslims, America's war is just beginning, first drop of blood. I don't think there's any way to get away from these facts," Mr. Williams said.
NPR said in its statement that the remarks "were inconsistent with our editorial standards and practices, and undermined his credibility as a news analyst with NPR."
Media Matters has previously noted ethical concerns related to Williams' appearances on The O'Reilly Factor.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G6 reviewBy Kevin Carter - Tuesday July 02 2013 Sensor Review
Panasonic's Lumix DMC-G6 is the update to last year's DMC-G5 MFT camera, the firm's $750 mid-range EVF equipped model sitting above the entry-level finder-less DMC-GF6 yet beneath the mighty video-maker's favorite DMC-GH3. The new camera features a 16-Mpix Live MOS sensor as well as a new Venus processing engine, but just how well does it perform in our labs?
Panasonic's mid-range DMC-G6 features a 16-Mpix sensor with a new Venus Engine image processor accounting for an extended sensitivity ranging from ISO 160 to 25,600 (up from ISO 12,800 on the previous DMC-G5 model) and rapid continuous shooting mode of up to 7fps (with AF-tracking at 5fps). Although the EVF remains the same resolution at 1.44 million dot the DMC-G6 adopts a new ultra-responsive OLED variant with proximity sensor and a 3.0-inch, 1.04 million dot,articulated capacitive touch screen at the rear.
New features include a gesture-based "Clear Retouch" function – a context aware cloning tool allowing retouching during playback, and like the earlier entry-level DMC-GF6, it also has built-in Wi-Fi with the practicality of NFC (Near Field Communication) technology for simplified connectivity with compatible smart-phones and tablets. Panasonic has also enhanced the HD movie capabilities. As well as useful 3.5mm mic-socket, the DMC-G6 adds 24p in AVCHD with 1080 60/30p (50/25p PAL) as either MP4 or AVCHD format. Let's see how well the DMC-G6 performs against rival mirrorless offerings.

Hi guys
I am needing a voice amp. Now I have had a play with the Rom FX and thought it was ok, but it did not thrill the pants off me to be fair - and it seemed a little expensive, when I am not really needing the static burst?
I would like some more info on the Hyperdyne amp if anyone can offer any? I understand you can change the voice with preprogramed chips/cards/disk? To get a Cylon, Vader or Boba?
I am interested in this and it sounds loke the amp I would like to get hold of? If anyone can give me any info on them or knows of any for sale or trade it would be good. I understand they have not been made for a while.
Thanking you

Mayor Rl Rex Parris was giving a speech to several local Christian ministers so he saw no problem in telling the group his goal as mayor was "growing a Christian community" in a city, that for some strange reason, also allows them Jews and Muslims and atheists to reside within its limits. His comment referred to an April ballot measure that would endorse prayer at city meetings without restricting its content including reference to Jesus Christ as a way to "validate a Christian stance." As far as Parris is concerned, if you live in his Christian city the least you can do is endorse the Christian view of life.
As a Jew, I take umbrage as referring to Jesus Christ as having anything to do with what people today term the, "Christian religion." As far as this Jew knows, Jesus was born a Jew, lived the life of a Jew, and died a Jew. I guess if Jesus tried visiting Lancaster, California he would be told to halt at the city limits.

So much so that Katherine Mayor, Fay Miller, claims that with the Mount Todd mine re-opening there is a forecast shortfall of 500 homes.

Manbulloo caravan park owner Stephanie Hill says she's got 21 long term residents. Stephanie shared some of the issues of caravan life with Richard as well as and her belief that without a change to subdivision laws more and more people will be forced to live a gypsy life.

text: Posted October 22, 2012 .................It's also going to start coming out that the most heavily derided moves over the past few years (Delhomme, Armanti, DeAngelo's contract, etc) were at the behest of Richardson. Gantt has already written the PFT article alluding to it, but I guarantee it's going to start spilling out now. ..........So why do this now? There doesn't necessarily have to be a good reason. Richardson has shown he likes moves just to make the fan base happy (DeAngelo's contract being an example). It's clear from the reactions on here that the base fan is pleased by this. ............I don't want to say Bill Cowher, because I think it's an unfunny meme at this point, but it might be someone like that. Someone established that would like control. Cowher makes perfect sense. He wanted front office control last go around. So does Schottenheimer who has been successful everywhere he's gone. 1) I do agree and think JR has a lot do with the contracts and a good amount of what has been done with many of the current players on this roster. 2) Why do this now?? I am one of those fans who agrees with it. My biggest fear as a fan and PSL owner is this team finishes strong and JR gets that false image and hope that they have turned it around and stays the course for next season, AND then we have another 1-5, 2-4, etc start and suck again. At least now I dont have that concern and can enjoy the rest of the season more knowing this wont be tolerated, etc. 3) I would be fine with Bill Cowher or Gruden or some other former NFL Coach that has had success. I know many are against retreads but the last thing I want is to go the unknown Coorinator route or College HC and hope he is the next "great one" and find out he isnt resulting in another 3-4 wasted season.

By Joe Brewin
AC Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri believes the first hour of Tuesday night's second leg will be vital for his side.
Milan bring a commanding lead to Emirates Stadium after blowing away Arsenal at the San Siro with a four-goal salvo three weeks ago.
And Allegri has warned his star men that they must attend to their defensive duties to avert an early Arsenal onslaught.
"I think it is obvious [that Arsenal will attack]," he said. "But the result is still an important one for us.
"We know what English football is like and how English teams play so it is going to be important to have the right approach to the game.
"It is going to be a great pace but I know they will try and raise it tomorrow as they try to find a goal. I think the first 60 minutes are going to be crucial.
"I believe that having a full back into the line of midfield is not going to be the right choice. If you are Robinho or [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic up front you must feel more responsible to cover in behind."
Ibrahimovic has been in imperious form for Milan this season, scoring 18 goals in 20 Serie A matches for the Rossoneri.
Robin van Persie has hit the headlines with his own goalscoring for Arsenal this season but Allegri insists it would be foolish to focus on just one player.
"He is just the player who finalises the moves created by the other players," he said. "At home it will be a completely different team to what we saw in Milan.
"I think the first leg the whole team put in a great performance, not only Ibrahimovic. These kind of games bring a lot of motivation and a lot of determination.
"Ibrahimovic, like any other player, knows exactly how important this game is. They know this is a great chance and that they have a big opportunity to qualify for the quarter-finals, especially because in the last three years we have failed to do that.
"My team cannot have the wrong approach to the game."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

Data declaration with constraint
From HaskellWiki
1 Problem
1.1 Question
I have declared
and I hoped that now the type checker knows, that every value of type
data T a = C a => Cons a
satisfies the type constraint on
T a
1.2 Answer
Only functions can have type constraints.The type constraint of a
only refers to the constructors.
The designers of Haskell 98 do now think, that it was a bad decision to allow constraints on constructors.
2 Solution
But how can one bake type constraints into a type ? ...

You Get the Big One
Anyone running a Lq4 or lq9 in thier jeep?
Just was curios what you thought of the power and what kind of driveline your running. If you made a harness or orderd one? If the 6.0l is that much better than an LS1 or a 5.3l? My friend has a 5.3l in his yj that he rebuilt and changed to Carb with a heathy cam, it runs good up top but not really impressed with the off idle respounce. For reference I run 38's with 60's front and rear (78' Ford w/4.88's) and plan on using a np231c hd and a 4l60e (wide chain) with a Tera-Flex super short eliminator as I allready T-case and it will bolt right up to the 4l60e, as far as I know. Any info would be great. Also did you do it your self or have someone else do it?

Covered in mud...
A 'healthy' cam, though could really hurt the low end ona small motor like a 5.3. I know the LS6 cams are popular as a cheap HP adder, but they cut out a lot of tq below 3000, according to the side by side dyno plots I've seen. Likewise, the factory intake is designed for low end torque. So he's probably lost a good 50+ft-lbs down there in the crawling ranges, which would put it not all that much above a 4.0...
The LS1 woudl be ~90 lbs lighter, due to the aluminum block, if it matters to you. Although aluminum block 5.3s (L33s among other), and 6.0s (LS2) exist as well.
|August 13th, 2009, 12:20 AM
You Get the Big One
Well I realy want an lq9 (6.0l) but have been thinking about the 5.3 for the money and the fact that a 5.3l came with a 4l60e and would'nt require any harness mods. I was also thinking the Ls1 as it to came infront of a 4l6oe (2wd would have to change output shaft). But I'm woundering if it's got anything down low such as the truck engines. price wise the ls1 has come down quite a bit, But I've heard that you need to switch the oil pan to a rear sump for starvation reasons.

I have an 03 6.0l out of an Escalade. That means cast block and aluminum heads. I used the factory harness & sent it out to be paired down for what I didn't want and at the same time had the ECM reprogrammed.
The rest of my drivetrain is a T350, stock 231 (yeah, I know) 4.88's running 39.5's. The motor makes good power pretty much throughout & don't have much to complain about. I can't give any input compared to a 5.3l.
Oh, you mentioned oil pan. I had to change to the corvette oil pan because the truck pan hangs way down.

I am doing a build with a 5.3 (6.0 would be great, but $$$). I think you will be happy either way. The 5.3 that your friend has probably lost alot by going carb., and big cam. All of the people I have talked to say the 5.3 works great and even better with some ecm tuning.
Keep us posted with what you decide.
Hay, look at me... I have a signature.....

anyone who puts a carb on one of these engines is retarded. properly tuned fuel injection will make a carb'd engine look like a gen 1 POS in any condition. it's people who dont know any better that put carbs on them and think they are doing some good.
if you want a lot of potential then go with the 6.0L, if you want up to 400hp then a 5.3L is a good choice. a cam that sounds cool at idle is bad for low end performance. if he were to put an adjustable cam gear on it he could advance it and get some of the low end back but he's already screwed it up with that carb.
I have a 6.2L L92 and I turned it into an LS3 be removing the cam phasing. I did some research and for a couple dollars more I can put the cam phasing back on and get more low end and top end than a fixed cam. a fixed cam engine takes the low end torque and turns that into horsepower on top when you put in an aggressive cam, a stock cam will keep the low end but you lose your peak HP numbers and get a flatter power curve. Needles to say I'm swapping to VVT and going with an aftermarket cam. 530hp with more torque on the bottom end than a stock engine.
the truck intake flows better than the car intake, keep it on if you can and dont go too crazy with a cam, less is more when you arent operating in a 1000 rpm window.

I guess turbos blow too, huh?
speaking of which, I have a pipe dream of turboing my trailblazer. it could be fun but I'm torn between a custom turbo setup, the easy-to-do magna charger or doing the L92 goodies and staying N/A. I cant wait until my lift of projects gets small enough to take on another one!

Thank you for your responces. Whiterino how do you like the 4.88's and 231, also did you run the corvette oil pan so that you could keep the truck intake. I ve heard alot of people say that the truck intake is better for torque than any other.
Any opinions on the hole Lq9 vs Lq4, I know the differences between the two engines but for a jeep is the Lq9 that much better? Opinions?

Haggar, not sure what you mean by batwing pan. The pan that came off was aluminum as was the one that went on. They are totally interchangeable, just the corvette one is not as deep. I think it changes is from an 8 quart capacity to 5. I also changed the baffle splash plate inside although I don't think I actually needed to. The corvette oil pan had nothing to do with the truck intake. There's no relationship there. I did it purely to keep the pan from getting smashed on a rock.
RE the 231 and 4.88's, the ratio is pretty good for general low range wheeling. With my current tire size, it's a damn good hill climber in low range but is a little too aggressive on rocks & stuff and there are times I wish I was closer to 4:1 instead of the 2.7:1. A new T-case is in the plans for the future. I have previously cracked a couple 231 cases but I beefed up the current case & haven't broken it since. I had also broken the front output shaft but ever since I went to a 2 pc carrier style front drive shaft I haven't had a problem. My theory is that with the shaft coming straight forward to the carrier bearing that I'm not putting any side load on it which helps it to survive. I'm totally aware that it's a weak link which is why I carry a complete spare T-case in my trailer.
BTW, if you get a new enough engine that has the throttle by wire, make sure you get the pedal, wiring harness and module from the same donor vehicle. Ask me how I know.

Yeah I know the 231 isn't the best t case for crawlin thats why I wanted to go with a four speed trans so I can ge a lower first gear. Pertaining to the intake, I've heard of people having trouble with hood clearence because of the rather tall truck intake. As per the throtle buy pedal do you find it touchy off road?

Mine is a 2500 pound paper weight right now but I have a th400 and 3.8:1 atlas with 4.88's and 37's. when it moves on it's own I'm pretty sure I have the gearing nailed for the power. I do plan to swap in a 4l60,65 or 70 in place of the 400 and at that time I'll probably do a 4 speed atlas at the same time for no real reason other than I want more gears.

Don't early LQ4s have iron heads, and later ones are Aluminum?
