|Are you planning on attending IBM IMPACT? For all of you WebSphere users out there, I sure hope the answer to that is yes. Simply put, there is no better event to attend in order to learn about everything going on across the IBM WebSphere portfolio. There is already an exciting array of technical sessions lined up that will touch on topics such as analytics, big data, cloud computing, elastic data caching, enhanced automation, business process management, hybrid clouds, and much more. In addition to the sessions, you will also get plenty of chances to work directly with various WebSphere solutions in our labs. For my fellow hands-on learners, this is a great opportunity.
|We have technical sessions and labs every year at IMPACT though, so you may be wondering besides the content, what's new?? Well, in that regard I'm excited to point out that this year's IBM IMPACT will host the first ever WebSphere Unconference! For those of you unfamiliar with the unconference format, the basic idea is that a group of folks with common interests (cloud computing, big data, etc.) get together and drive a series of conversations/sessions around these topics of interest. The unconference will include lightning talks (5 minutes to make a point!), guest appearances, as well as user-driven breakout sessions. These events are a great way to network with fellow WebSphere users, discuss cool technology, explore common challenges, and otherwise expand your areas of interest and knowledge.
|The official website of the WebSphere Unconference recently launched in order to support this event. Besides giving you some details about the unconference, the website allows you to submit your own ideas for breakout sessions. All you need to do is sign up on the site, and you can start to put forth your own topic ideas. You can vote for the different sessions that interest you, and the top vote getters will earn a spot during the unconference.
|I encourage you to go and have a look at the WebSphere Unconference website. It is easy to sign up and easy to use. If you are heading to IMPACT, please make time to at least drop by the unconference on Thursday. I promise you will benefit from engaging, attendee-led conversation and discussion. I hope to see you there!

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by Darth Tater, Apr 12, 2012.
I know. A 10:00 pm Michigan start time will keep us up late.
Bill.........you changed your location........ Anyways........Tater and I will see a start time of 8:00......... State is a 1.5 underdog........ Horned Frogs 21 - Spartans 20
Hoping Dantonio has chewed Roushar's ass to threads and we see plenty of Bell.
Sparty offense looking very mediocre so far.
Beyond mediocre, but I kind of liked when Cook was in there
MSU WINS! 17-16. Nice to see them end a disappointing season on a positive note.
It was good for MSU to win against a team ranked #35 in the AP football poll. Being down 13-0 entering the second half, MSU was able to overcome and win. Kinda scary defensive battle as MSU gained only 227 yards on 69 plays......or a 3-3 yards ave.
what was states rating ?
The Big Ten is lousy. Once again the pretenders were exposed. Michigan State and Northwestern tried to salvage what little dignity the conference had remaining. Winners: Michigan State and Northwestern. Losers: Michigan,Minnesota, Wisconsin, Purdue and Nebraska. Total : 2-5. Some of these teams were actually ranked in the top 20. Oh, and for those who talked crap all season long (you know who you are) U of M final record was 8-5 MSU final record was 7-6 A whopping one game difference.

Arsène Wenger admits that Robin van Persie's departure has deprived Arsenal of a great player - but he says the Club had no choice but to sell.
The Holland international is poised to seal his move to Manchester United after making it clear that he would not extend his contract at Emirates Stadium.
Wenger is disappointed to lose his captain, but insists his squad has the quality to thrive without the 29-year-old this season.
"We regret that we have lost a great player and for one simple reason - he only had one year left on his contract. He wanted to go," said Wenger.
"We anticipated this situation might happen, therefore we bought Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud.
"[Selling to a rival] is not what we wanted but there was not much choice. We had only one club really interested at the level we thought would be acceptable and that was Manchester United.
"At the end of the day, [selling] was the only decision we could make."
Wenger says he will enter the market if necessary before the close of the transfer window, but he is delighted with the business he has already done this summer.
"We have already invested the money because we bought three players - [Santi] Cazorla, Podolski and Giroud," he said.
"Therefore if needed we will invest more, but if you look at the number of players we have, we have a massive squad. We have plenty of players who have no chance to play at all.
"At the moment I believe we have what is needed to be ambitious and to play our game."

According to an Advertising Age article that discussed a new IBM survey released today, many CMOs "believe that marketing's financial return on investment will become a key marker of success in the next three to five years." With continued economic turmoil, marketing leaders are facing increased pressure to measure their results, but faced with an overhwelming amount of data, finding the right KPI needles in the haystack of information can be overwhelming. To sift through this data overload, we are conducting research for a report on how leading marketers will be measuring success. Take our survey on ROI measurement to tell us how you are changing your ROI approach for 2012, and we'll send you a copy of the results so that you can see how others are navigating the ROI path.
Thank you!

The (Petri) Dish: Trouble with mosquitos
July 3, 2012
One of the many benefits of living in Colorado is the relatively low number of biting insects. Mosquitos, of course, do plague us most of the summer. Although mosquitos can carry West Nile virus, they otherwise pose little threat to most of the state's residents.
For many parts of the world, however, they are carriers of one of the world's most devastating diseases – malaria. More than one million people per year die of this awful disease, and its incidence is on the rise. We think of malaria as being limited to tropical countries, so it may surprise you to know the disease used to be endemic in much of Europe and North America and was only finally controlled in the early 1950s. The elimination of malaria depends on controlling the mosquitoes that transmit the disease. And herein lies a tale of intrigue that is a modern example of bio-warfare.
Malaria was a major public health problem in southern Italy in the 19th century, with almost half the country's population at risk of infection. Tragically, the life expectancy of Italians who worked on the land was less than 25 years. The solution to this problem came with the discovery by the Italian naturalist Giovanni Battista Grassi that malaria was transmitted by mosquitoes. The realization that malaria could be eradicated by controlling mosquitoes led the Italian government to initiate a program of mosquito management using insecticides and by draining the marshes where mosquitoes breed. Some of the most dramatic effects were seen in the Pontine Marshes near Rome, where Mussolini's troops dug drainage trenches and installed pumps that allowed fresh water to replace salt water and irrigate the land. This not only made the land suitable for agriculture but also suppressed the local malaria-transmitting mosquito population that thrived on brackish water. The incidence of malaria in southern Italy fell dramatically.
This would have been a wonderful story, but for Mussolini's alliance with Adolf Hitler during the early stages of the Second World War. This alliance was initially very strong. But by 1943, the Axis powers were in retreat, prompting Italy to change sides and join Britain and the United States in the fight against the Nazi regime. Driven by a sense of vengeance and a need to slow the Allies' northward advance in Italy, the Nazis reversed the pumps and specifically redirected water flow in the Pontine Marshes to allow salt water to once again flow freely. Masterminded by the German scientist and Nazi sympathizer Erich Martini, this allowed the malaria-transmitting mosquito population to rebound and reestablish malaria in the region. Just to make sure the job was complete, the Nazis destroyed the small boats used for spraying insecticides in the marshes and moved supplies of quinine (an anti-malarial drug) to Germany. The plan was effective: Incidence of malaria in that region of Italy rose from 614 in 1939 to 55,000 in 1944. This is a clear example of bio-warfare that contravened the Geneva Convention (of which Germany was a signatory at the time). According to Yale University historian Frank Snowden, it was "the only known example of biological warfare in 20th-century Europe."
A lesson to be learned from this story is that the incidence of malaria can be reduced by controlling the insect vectors that transmit the disease. Unfortunately, in Africa it is difficult to control malaria-carrying mosquitoes due to the geographical and political complexities of the region. The use of insecticide-saturated netting for sleeping areas has proved to be a relatively cheap and practical approach to the problem. But mosquitoes are becoming resistant to common insecticides, so more resilient approaches are needed. Today, scientists are working on fascinating new strategies to combat malaria-transmitting mosquitoes. One promising approach is the introduction of genetically altered mosquitoes that are unable to harbor and transmit the malaria parasite. The idea is that these mosquitoes will breed with the indigenous population and thereby block transmission of the disease.
In a future article, I will explore other changes mosquito populations may be undergoing worldwide, including the possible impact of climate change. In the meantime, the next time you bat away a mosquito on a mountain trek, just spare a thought for the folk that live in malaria-endemic regions.

Wedding on the Water
Couple paddle to Tilton Island to marry among river friends
By DAN SEUFERT
Sunday News Correspondent | August 31. 2013 8:38PM
John Jenkins talks with Rick Covill, from Grantham, while waiting for his bride to arrive on the island, during their "kayaking" wedding day. (Thomas Roy/Union Leader)
Then, Gero stepped carefully into a canoe, and with about 70 boaters escorting her, paddled her way down the Winnipesaukee River to Tilton Island, where she was helped out of her boat for the wedding ceremony, at which she would become Nancy Jenkins.
"You didn't think I was going to spill in this dress, did you?" she said laughing. "The best man thought I was going to."
Jenkins met Nancy about 10 years ago while both were paddling the whitewaters of New Hampshire and Maine rivers.
In fact, both are leaders of two local paddling groups, the New Hampshire Appalachian Mountain Club Paddlers and the Merrimack Valley Paddlers. Both have high-level qualifications as rafting guides.
So for Nancy, 46, and John, 64, the river was the obvious setting to exchange their vows.
Richard Clancy of Nashua said the wedding was "fitting."
"I wasn't surprised at all when I heard they were doing this," he said. "I knew it would be a different kind of wedding, but I wasn't surprised."
"We knew we'd draw this many people because the paddling community is a gigantic family," he said. "You get close to people because you're always looking out for the next guy's safety in their boats. You make a lot of good friends."

Bluegrass Music Highlights Colorado Bend State Park Fall Festival Oct. 23
BEND, Texas – The bluegrass sound of Dueling Hearts from Waco will highlight a day-long celebration of autumn in the outdoors Saturday, Oct. 23, as the Friends of Colorado Bend State Park host the park's eighth annual fall festival.
Festivities run 9 a.m.-5 p.m. in the lodge area above Gorman Falls, the largest travertine waterfall in Texas, located an easy half mile walk from the festival area. Festival admission is free, but normal park entrance fees apply.
The festival supports the state park friends group, founded in 2000, which has led volunteer efforts to expand the park hike and bike trail system from 17 to 28 miles in the past few years, including several new intermediate to advanced mountain bike trails. The friends group also created an extensive Trails of Colorado Bend website with maps and information about the expanded trail system.
Festival visitors are invited to bring a lawn chair, blankets, cooler and sack lunch, as well as a guitar, banjo, fiddle, bass, mandolin, or dobro for a full day of great bluegrass music jamming. Those that wish to stay overnight may reserve tent camping reservation through the Texas State Parks reservation center at (512) 389-8900.
At 2 p.m., Dueling Hearts of Waco will play a free benefit concert. Ringleaders Wil and Darla Wilson were formerly members of a local band called "The Wortham Stringbenders" which played at bluegrass festivals thoughout Texas, Louisiana and Kansas. They recently formed the new four-piece band Dueling Hearts, playing cover songs and original works in the bluegrass and gospel traditions.
Colorado Bend State Park boasts a variety of outdoor recreation opportunities, including tent camping, hiking, mountain biking, picnicking, and birding. The park offers six miles of Colorado River frontage for fishing, tubing, kayaking and swimming.
Colorado Bend State Park is located near the small town of Bend on the Colorado River above Lake Buchanan, about an hour and a half from either Austin or Waco. Day use entry fees are $4 per adult, free for children 12 and under. For more information, phone at the park at (325) 628-3240.
PHOTOS of Gorman Falls are available for news media use as downloadable .jpg files in the News Images area of the TPWD website. Other park photos are available on request.
A short VIDEO showing all aspects of the park may be viewed on TPWD's official YouTube channel.

It's time to reveal the Gunners' Greatest 50 Goals - as voted for by Arsenal's fans.
Ian Wright makes his second appearance in our top 50 with this inventive, impudent finish in front of an adoring new-look North Bank.
The striker saw off the old terrace in style with a hat-trick against Southampton in May 1992 and he didn't take long to make his mark when its all-seater replacement was unveiled at the start of the 1993/94 campaign. Coventry's Mickey Quinn got the new era off to an inauspicious start with a hat-trick at Highbury on the opening day of the season but, by the third home game, Wrighty was in full flow.
He was bang in form after winners at Tottenham and Sheffield Wednesday and was already on the scoresheet against Everton when David Seaman launched a long punt downfield.
It just cleared the head of Gary Ablett and Wright, ever alert, raced on to the bouncing ball. He juggled it one way and then the other to leave Matt Jackson floundering before lifting a delicious lob over the imposing figure of Neville Southall in the Everton goal.
Wrighty ran to the new North Bank Stand and embraced the fans in the front row. There would be much more to celebrate in the months and years to come.

Every season a number of Arsenal players go out on loan to gain valuable first-team experience. With the 2012/13 campaign approaching, three Gunners are currently away from the Club - although just Denilson is currently involved in a league campaign.
Arsenal.com tracks their progress throughout the season. Our Arsenal's Loanees page offers an overview and below is the latest instalment of our Loan Watch.
Bahia 0-2 Sao Paulo, August 2
Sao Paulo 1-0 Sport Recife, August 5
Denilson played the whole of Sao Paulo's narrow 1-0 victory over Sport Recife on Sunday. The midfielder did not feature in their 2-0 win over Bahia on Thursday but returned to the side as Ademilson's goal secured all three points for the Serie A club. The victory moves Sao Paulo to sixth in the table.

National Guard Whistleblower: Doomsday Preppers Will Be Treated As Terrorists
Melissa Melton
October 25, 2012
I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic
So begins the Oath of Enlistment for the U.S. military, but in an explosive interview with a National Guard whistleblower shown below, soldiers are now being advised they will be ordered to break that oath should civil unrest erupt across the country.
Referred to only as Soldier X under promise of anonymity, an Army National Guardsman spoke via phone with Infowars Nightly News Producer Rob Dew regarding a recent briefing his unit underwent on actions the military would take in the event that an Obama election loss sparked rioting in Americas streets.
Citing not only recent widespread threats to riot if Mitt Romney were to become the next U.S. president, but threats to actually assassinate him should he win, Soldier Xs superiors dispensed plans of how the National Guard would be responsible for taking over and quelling such unrest.
The soldiers were reportedly told Doomsday preppers will be treated as terrorists.
In addition, guns will be confiscated.
They have a list compiled of all these doomsday preppers that have gone public and they plan to go after them first, Soldier X said. He claimed those in charge are acting under the belief that preppers will be the worst part of any potential civil unrest.
Soldier X was also told that any soldiers in the ranks who are known as preppers will be deemed defects. He explained the label meant these soldiers would be treated as traitors. If you dont conform, they will get rid of you, he added.
Unit members also warned not to associate with any fellow soldiers who are preppers.
Not only does the military reportedly plan to target preppers should mass chaos break out, but Soldier X also voiced his concerns regarding civilian gun confiscation.
Soldier X admitted, Our worry is that Obamas gonna do what he said hes gonna do and hes gonna outlaw all weapons altogether and anybodys name who is on a weapon, theyre gonna come to your house and try to take them.
It would not be the first time the National Guard has been used to unconstitutionally disarm law-abiding citizens, robbing them of their Second Amendment right to bear arms. In the aftermath of hurricane Katrina, police and military took to the streets disarming lawful gun owners, including those who were on dry land and had plenty of stored food and water.
Fast forward to this past summer when a leaked Army manual dated 2006 entitled, Civil Disturbance Operations surfaced outlining plans not only to confiscate firearms domestically during mass unrest, but to actually detain and even kill American citizens who refuse to hand over their guns. This manual works in conjunction with FM 3-39.40 Internment and Resettlement Operations, another Army manual leaked this year, which instructs troops on how to properly detain and intern Americans into re-education camps, including ways that so-called psy-op officers will indoctrinate incarcerated political activists into developing an understanding and appreciation of U.S. policies and actions.
Add these manuals to the plethora of Executive Orders Obama has signed during his term which have dismantled our Constitution piece by piece, including the martial law implementing National Defense Resources Preparedness Executive Order which gives the president the power to confiscate citizens private property in the event of any national emergency, including economic.
Add it all to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) in which Obama granted powers to disappear and indefinitely detain American citizens without any due process, and it is easy to see the tyrannical big picture our government has painted.
When asked if he would go along with gun confiscation, Soldier X replied he and his fellow like-minded guardsmen planned to stand down not answer the phone or show up to post.
Im sorry but I dont believe in suicide, he said.
Preppers are becoming regular government targets these days, most recently when a Missisippi prepper group member with a clean record was suddenly taken off his flight halfway to Japan and informed he was on the no-fly list, an FBI terrorist watchlist, stranding him in Hawaii. Other preppers have been denied their Second Amendment rights without legitimate cause.
It is beyond glaringly obvious at this point the U.S. government is gearing up for mass civil unrest. Not only has the DHS sparked controversy by purchasing billions of rounds of ammo, but the department even went so far as to begin classifying further purchases, blacking out bullet figures it is using taxpayer money to buy.
In addition, while FEMA can procure a billion dollars in bulk food supplies, the FBIs Communities Against Terrorism project released a flier instructing military surplus store owners to report any customers who make bulk purchases of items including meals ready to eat.
Should society as we know it collapse following the election, it would seem the ultimate prepper and the ultimate terrorist is, indeed, the U.S. government.
Black Blade: Omce the government abandons The Constitution of the United States of America then all bets are off and people (including those in the armed forces, law enforcement, bureacracies, etc) will have to make a choice between good and evil, after which all hell breaks loose.

Which political parties do MLB teams support?
posted at 11:52 am on October 14, 2012 by Howard Portnoy
Root, root, rooting for the home team has taken on much of the flavor of backing a political candidate or party. Both, sad to say, leave a bad taste in the mouth. Baltimore Orioles fans showed their true colors in an early home game of the American League Divisional Series by cheering and applauding after a pitch whizzed by a New York Yankee batter's head close enough to cause him to hit the deck. They demonstrated it again by borrowing the odious "Yankees suck!" chant invented by Boston Red Sox fans.
So similar is the behavior exhibited by some sports fans and some political junkies that you might wonder which team supports which party. Inquiring minds at the Center for Responsive Politics wanted to know, so they researched the political contributions made by the ten clubs to make the MLB playoffs.
View slideshow: MLB team contributions to political parties
Perhaps not surprisingly, the aforementioned Baltimore franchise (which was eliminated from the playoffs on Friday) has given far and away the most—and all to the Democrats. Most of the money came out of the pocket of majority owner Peter Angelos, but he can afford it. An attorney, Angelos made his fortune representing Baltimore labor unions. His pockets deepened considerably in 1982, when he represented 8,000 plaintiffs in an asbestos class action suit that netted him a reported $100 million, roughly 40% of the judgment.
In August, Angelos wrote a $500,000 check to Obama Super PAC Priorities USA Action and gave he gave another $575,000 to Majority PAC, which backs Democratic Senate candidates. Other donors in the organization ponied up an additional $367,000.
Next is the San Francisco Giants and Cincinnati Reds, which donated $277,600 and $222,970 respectively. But 93% of the Giants' campaign donations and 100% of Reds' donations went to the GOP. Ditto for the Texas Rangers (100% of $11,500) and the Oakland A's (100% of $2,500). The St. Louis Cardinals gave 98% of $101,175 to the Republican Party, a percentage matched by the much-maligned Yankees who gave $15,220 to the GOP.
The Chicago White Sox, of which President Obama is an avowed fan did not make the playoffs, so there's no information provided on which candidate that team supported.

American's have a love affair with Mexican food that has been grown in leaps and bounds in the last few decades, and Mexican restaurants have started to pop up in neighborhoods across the country. Though Mexican and Latin restaurants require the standard pieces needed when opening a restaurant (such as refrigeration, storage, prep tables, etc.), there are a number of pieces in both the front-of-the-house and back-of-the-house that are necessary before anything can be cooked.
Aside from things like a walk-in or a refrigerated prep table, there are some specific pieces of cooking and warming equipment that should be in nearly all Mexican eateries.
Front-of-the-house operations in a Mexican restaurant are much the same as other eateries, but there are a few specific items that make them stand apart from other restaurants.

Manchester police officers replace stolen gifts for struggling city family
By MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader | December 26. 2013 9:15PM
Page Van Der Putten, 8, holds a doll in the living room of her Somerville Street home Thursday, two days after Manchester police restored her Christmas. (MARK HAYWARD / UNION LEADER)
Unable to catch the crook, Manchester police officers opened their wallets to provide a Christmas for the family's 8-year-old girl, 15-year-old boy, and their cancer-ridden father.
In the end, the children had their stolen gifts replaced, plus some extras — bicycles for the two children, board games and gift cards for the family of Laurie Charest.
Detectives Joe Mucci and Derek Cataldo realized they had few leads, so they started collecting money at the station. Community Policing Officer Rick Brown got donations from the Salvation Army and the Manchester Police Athletic League, which had just concluded toy distributions to needy families.
And when the officers went shopping, Sears, Target and Market Basket provided deep discounts. Some employees even made personal donations.
Police Department employees called Charest to the station's community room on Christmas Eve. Two tables were crammed with wrapped gifts.
On Thursday, board games remained under the tree, her 8-year-old's room was crammed with doll-related toys, and a skateboard was tucked beside the family couch.
Van Der Putten said police need to be recognized for their efforts.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|steve t
|check wheel bearings, my 61 bearings try to lock up with me, i caught,them just in time
|well i was just wondering if because i have posi the rear end would make a clunking while i'm turning are extremely low speeds, like it makes a clunk and shakes the whole car, it does it in reverse too, and after coming off the highway but only when turning slow
|My Z28`s rear would clunk going straight forward, but I don`t recall ever being able to feel it. Was the tranny rebuilt? The tranny has a anti clunk spring as we call it that must be reinstalled or it`ll clunk also. Since you say the rear does chatter in turns, I would look further into the additive, the kendall additive may not work. Even so your in england, I don`t see why you can`t order royal purple gear lube or have access to another Synthetic gear lube, I`d say it`s worth a shot, ever since I tried parts store anti chatter additive and it didn`t do away with the problem I don`t trust them. If the clunk is still present I would Investigate further into the rear again or the tranny. If the clunk is in the tranny the noise can travel down the drive shaft and make you think it`s coming from the rear.
Thanks for your suggestions, guys, but I've got all those things covered, (I think...)
As I said, all the U-joints are in good shape, All the suspension bushes are new- this car has been completely restored.
You can bounce up and down on it all you like and it makes no noise from the suspension.
I used Kendall posi additive in the oil this last time, but when first assembled, I used the GM stuff ( a little hard to get here sometimes). The posi clutches do make some noise on turns, but what I'm experiencing is a worse clunk which happens when driving dead straight, which kind of rules out posi problems, I would have thought.
The clunk has a kind of 'snatching' quality to it. It certainly seems to cause the wheels to judder, and seems to be mostly coming from the passenger side- I sat in the bed and listened while the missus drove it.
|Since this is a factory posi, did you add the GM limited slip differential lube? if you didn`t the rear will make all kinds of pop and clunking noises, usually the noise doesn`t show up until the rear diff gets hot. If you used standard gear lube you`ve found the problem. You can get about a 4 oz bottle from any GM dealer, or you can upgrade to a synthetic lube like royal purple which doesn`t require any anti chatter additive. Most factory posi`s had a tag on them that said "use GM limited slip differential fluid only" most people don`t know what the term "limited slip" means, so they add standard fluid. I`ve seen people in the past have the rear replaced because of the chatter, not knowing all they had to do was add the fluid. I had a 79 Z28 with a posi, the car sat 9 years and the rear chattered like crazy, I added the parts store additive that said it elimated chatter, it did no good, I added the GM additive, problem solved. In my Cutlass that I have now, I installed a posi diff, added royal purple lube alone, no chatter problems.
|You'll want to get after your U joints pretty quick, you don't want one failing on you on the road.... especially the front one!!!
Generally if there is a "clunk" in the drivetrain it will show up when you put the car in gear..that is there are worn u-joints or excessive slop in the rear end..Sinc this only happens when you are driving I woudl look at shock mounts or shocks..maybe worn bushings in the suspension or something in that area..
My truck "clunks" but I have traced it to the shocks rattaling when I hit a bump..Remember these ole cars are not as smooth as we are used to in new cars..
And aboard the board so to speak..
Rearend clunk
Greetings folks, my first time on here.
Hope someone can help me out here, Im just about pulling whats left of my hair out.
I just got my 59 El Camino finished; (350/th350, 10 bolt posi rearend from 72 chevelle)
After you drive it about 4 miles, a loud CLUNK starts coming from the rearend. Its not a regular clunk but it is quite frequent. Most noticeable at low speeds going dead straight. Severe enough to jar the vehicle.
The rearend has been apart, and all seems OK. I did not take the pinion assembly out, but it spins freely and there is no play. There is a small amount of gear backlash, but not excessive, and there is a little backlash in the spider gears. The posi clutches are new. The crosspin fits snugly. Wheel bearings seem fine.
The odd thing is that with the rearend up on jackstands and running in drive, it does not happen, even with the parking brake partially engaged to provide some load.
When it first started to happen , I assumed it was the driveshaft center bearing, but It was fine. (I replaced it anyway) all the universals are fine and no amount of experimenting with shimming pinion angles etc makes any difference.
Any ideas?

There is a Imbel at the FAL files right now going for $395 (just listed)
i picked up my dsa for 375 at my local dealer but i think they are out now. that was in july.
There are some slight dimensional differences in 308 and 762x51 very slight, I have fired over 2k rounds of winchester commercial 308 (thanks to OLIN)in my imbel receivered stg58 in the past 15 years and have never noticed a single problem and I have used 308 dies to reload 7.62x51 for over 20 years and havent had any problems, LOTS of folks will tell you this is the wrong thing todo but it has worked fine for me. The service lif of the FAL according to The FAL (a book) is 40k rounds before the receiver stretches to the end of its service limit
I forgot to mention I shoot 308 in my 1919 alot also
The problem comes mostly from firing commercial .308 in rifles converted from 8mm to 7.62NATO, especially Spanish FR-8s and FR-7s.

Parents, Alumni & Advisors
Information for Parents
As a parent, you obviously want your son or daughter to get the best education they can. Certainly the education they receive in the classroom is the primary reason for coming to Wittenberg University. But at Wittenberg education also occurs beyond the classroom walls... it includes the whole college experience. This guide is designed to help answer questions a parent might have.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What are the advantages of becoming a member of a fraternal organization?
Who is actually in charge?
How does someone become a member?
How much does it cost?
Who do I talk to about my student's billing statement for fraternity/sorority charges?
What are living conditions like in fraternity/sorority houses?
What about alcohol?
What about hazing?
What is my role as a parent?
What are the advantages of becoming a member of a fraternal organization?
Becoming a member of a fraternal organization will provide your child with skills and experiences that will help prepare them for not only a career, but for life. These advantages include:
- Leadership skills: learned through offices in the chapter, through governing Greek councils, and educational programs offered on campus and by the (inter) national organizations.
- Academic success: provided through planned study sessions, partnering with older members of the chapter, guest speakers at meetings, collaboration with faculty.
- Educational programming: each chapter hosts a number of guest lectures on topics ranging from alcohol awareness and personal safety, to study skills and financial management.
- Enduring friendships and alumni contacts: Being in a fraternity/sorority does not stop at graduation. When someone joins, they are a lifelong member. As such, they develop contacts and acquaintances that can help them when looking for a job or when they need advice. With over 130 years of history on our campus Wittenberg fraternity/sorority alumni/ae are there to help.
- Developing a sense of civic responsibility: In the past year, Wittenberg's fraternity/sorority members have worked over 9,000 volunteer hours and donated over $19,000 for local and national organizations. From tutoring children, to assisting the Springfield Food Bank, to supporting a Girl Scout Troop, or being a Big Brother our members are giving back to the community. Greek members use this experience to become active members of their churches, schools and local governments later in life.
- It's fun!: The most immediate benefit for your son or daughter is the activities and social events sponsored by each chapter. Whether it is a chapter event, or a Greek Week event, your son or daughter will be around a group of students who know how to enjoy themselves responsibly.
Students elect their own officers from their membership. These officers deal with the day-to-day operations of the organization. Each member learns cooperation and planning skills. Alumni act as advisors to the officers and general chapter members. The houses of each organization are owned by a "House Corporation" that manages monies, collects rent and pays bills. Most chapters also have a dedicated faculty or administration member that serves as an on-campus advisor, primarily assisting members with academic engagement, time management, and providing access to various resources.
Each group is governed by a national/international organization, which establishes chapter regulations and offers advice and direction through professional staff that visit the chapter at least once a year. Additionally, the University employs a Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life who works directly with the coordinating fraternity/sorority councils, as well as the individual chapters.
How does someone become a member?
During the spring semester, the coordinating fraternity/sorority councils, the Interfraternity Council (IFC) for the men, and the Panhellenic Council ("Panhel") for the women, sponsor what's called "formal recruitment." It is a series of planned events that provide interested students the opportunity to visit each chapter and meet the members. The NPHC or historically African-American chapters conduct membership intake on an individual chapter basis. It should be noted that registration or participation in Wittenberg Fraternity and Sorority Recruitment is NOT an offer nor a guarantee of membership. Membership selection is at the sole discretion of each chapter and its members and is not influenced or controlled by the Wittenberg IFC, Wittenberg Panhellenic, nor Wittenberg Office of Student Involvement.
Once recruitment is over, and the chapter has offered an invitation to membership which the student accepts, they become a "new member." Each chapter has different rules, guidelines and terms for this period that lasts 6 to 8 weeks. The student will spend time learning about the history of the fraternity or sorority, rules, history and traditions. Once the new member period is over, they will be inducted into full membership (be sure to have your son or daughter ask about each chapter's requirements).
You may have heard the cliche about fraternity/sorority members "buying their friends." Nothing is farther from the truth. Like any national organization, there are bills to pay and costs of membership. When your son or daughter becomes a new member, there is usually a fee paid to the national/international organization. There also are semester dues and fees. When it is time to become a full member, there is usually a one-time fee to be paid to the inter/national organization that covers the cost of their badge, certificate and certain other items. Dues and other fees may also go toward upkeep of the house and also to keep the inter/national organization running. Without them, the chapters could not function.
If your student lives in a sorority or fraternity house, there are room and board fees which are comparable to and most often less than residence hall or off-campus housing costs. These costs vary for each chapter but the total cost is comparable to, if not less than, what room, board, entertainment costs are for non-Greek students. Encourage your son or daughter to ask about the specific costs when they go through recruitment and to share financial obligations with you each semester. Every chapter uses a different dues structure and some also use third-party agencies for billing; be sure you ask your student about the mechanics of dues and billing upon joining.
Who do I talk to about my student's billing statement for fraternity/sorority charges?
Wittenberg University provides a third party billing service for Greek organizations that request it. This third party relationship requires the University to refer any student/family disputes related to charges billed by the University on behalf of the Greek chapter to the designated contact person that the chapter assigns. This person is often the organization's House Corporation treasurer or president (usually an alumnus/alumna of the organization) or the chapter treasurer. While the University staff will do our best to answer questions regarding student billing statements for fraternity/sorority charges, the best contact will usually be the House Corporation. Your student should have the name and contact information for members of the House Corporation; if this information is not available, please call (937) 327-7820.
What are living conditions like in fraternity/sorority houses?
Fraternity/Sorority houses are homes. Each house has a living room, or common area, multiple bathrooms, kitchen and dining room. Most have computer facilities, wireless networks or phone lines in each room where students can connect to the Internet, and cable T.V. access. The majority of our housed chapters have a live-in adult house director who oversees daily operations of the house and safety of the residents. But the comforts of home are not what make fraternity and sorority houses homes--it is the brothers/sisters that flourish in an environment that promotes learning and friendship. Most chapters offer opportunities for family members to visit the houses multiple times a year.
The days of open parties at fraternity/sorority social functions are long gone. Today's fraternities and sororities promote responsible use of alcohol. Our fraternity/sorority community has been on the cutting-edge of the alcohol issue. Each chapter holds regular seminars on responsible alcohol use. Our fraternity/sorority councils support Wittenberg's Programming with Alcohol Policy, which all chapters adhere to and national fraternities and sororities support. Many chapters have more stringent policies than Wittenberg's alcohol policy and those chapters are expected to follow whichever is more stringent.
Undoubtedly, you've heard about hazing in the media. Wittenberg University and every national/international fraternity and sorority on campus has strict policies against it. Our fraternity and sorority members respect each other and hazing is not tolerated at Wittenberg.
If you ever feel you son or daughter may have been hazed (or harassed), please call 937-327-7820 or click here for more information on how to report hazing.
As a parent, you can be supportive of your son's or daughter's efforts to join a chapter. Learn as much as you can about the fraternities and sororities at Wittenberg. Many groups provide websites and written statements concerning activities, finances and policies. Allow your son or daughter to make their own choice (especially if you are a member of a fraternity or sorority). Participate in chapter sponsored events for alumni and parents. Come to Family Weekend and/or homecoming, if possible. If there are ever questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact the Director of Fraternity & Sorority Life (937-327-7820). We hope your support will continue throughout your son's or daughter's years at Wittenberg.

Information for Advisors
All fraternities and sororities (and all student organizations) are required to have a faculty or staff advisor and it is strongly encouraged that each chapter have a chapter advisor, typically an alumnus/alumna of the organization. The correlation between successful chapters and strong advisory support is high; the most successful organizations tend to have a group or board of engaged advisors supporting various areas of the organization's operation.
The Office of Student Involvement encourages advisors to take advantage of resources that the fraternity/sorority (inter)national organization can provide and to utilize this office as a resource as well. Several of the resources an advisor needs are provided on this website and the Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life is happy to provide assistance in any way possible.
More information coming soon!
For parents and family members of fraternity/sorority members, the role of the chapter's advisors should not be confused with the role of the chapter's House Corporation (if the chapter is housed or seeking housing). It is not uncommon for advisors and house corporation officers to be the same person, but oftentimes there is confusion between the two entities. The House Corporation is responsible for coordinating all operations related to the chapter's house (or in the case of unhoused chapters, assisting the members seek out housing options). This typically includes move-in and move-out, fire and safety inspections, hiring and supervision of the house director, cook or other staff, and renovation projects.

text: For those of you who know figure skating history, Vern Taylor was the first man to land a triple axel in 1978. I don't think I've seen it mentioned before, but what I find amazing is not that he landed a triple axel in a forward spin position, as well as his other triple jumps. For those of you who don't know, skaters who do multiple revolution jumps attain a back spin position in the air, e.g. a skater will typically have their free leg wrapped around as if they were spinning on the landing leg and then unfurl the free leg as they land. This comes into play when many coaches instruct students progressing from single jumps to land in a backspin as practice when working on their axel/doubles. Vern Taylor on the other hand, would bend and tuck his landing leg behind his extended free leg in midair and then would kick his free leg up a split second before he landed and then swing it back out behind him when he touched down. I'm not familiar with skaters before the 1990s, but were there other skaters that did jumps in the forward spin position? He's the only world-class skater I've seen with this technique.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
An initiative by Kathy Tran (of Volthair):
"For 31 days in the month of July, something will be created, discovered, produced, found, etc. It will be unique and creative. It will be empowering. The goal is to push yourself to do a chosen activity every day and see the progression of your choice activity/ individual project. At the end of the month, we will view the fruits of our labor and celebrate."
I decided to draw something around my house everyday for July and look what we have, a zine!
The gist:
-32 pages
-wide assortment of cover colors (more than 22 choices) (given at random)
-line drawings of all kinds of objects and stuff around, using my 0.4 pen and then scanned in.
If you are lucky you might get a shiny badge that contains a drawing from one of the days!

Designing a good interface isn't easy. Users demand software that is well-behaved, good-looking, and easy to use. Your clients or managers demand originality and a short time to market. Your UI technology -- web applications, desktop software, even mobile devices -- may give you the tools you need, but little guidance on how to use them well.
UI designers over the years have refined the art of interface design, evolving many best practices and reusable ideas. If you learn these, and understand why the best user interfaces work so well, you too can design engaging and usable interfaces with less guesswork and more confidence.
Designing Interfaces captures those best practices as design patterns -- solutions to common design problems, tailored to the situation at hand. Each pattern contains practical advice that you can put to use immediately, plus a variety of examples illustrated in full color. You'll get recommendations, design alternatives, and warningson when not to use them.
Each chapter's introduction describes key design concepts that are often misunderstood, such as affordances, visual hierarchy, navigational distance, and the use of color. These give you a deeper understanding of why the patterns work, and how to apply them with more insight.
A book can't design an interface for you -- no foolproof design process is given here -- but Designing Interfaces does give you concrete ideas that you can mix and recombine as you see fit. Experienced designers can use it as a sourcebook of ideas. Novice designers will find a roadmap to the world of interface and interaction design, with enough guidance to start using these patterns immediately.
For more than a decade, Jenifer Tidwell has been designing and building user interfaces for a variety of industry verticals, often in the Java programming language. She has experience in designing both desktop and Web applications. As a user interface designer at The MathWorks, Jenifer was instrumental in a redesign of the charting and visualization UI of MATLAB, which is used by researchers, students, and engineers worldwide to develop cars, planes, proteins, and theories about the universe.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects.The animal on the cover of this book is a Mandarin duck (Aix galericulata), one of the most beautiful of the duck species. Originating in China, these colorful birds can be found in southeast Russia, northern China, Japan, southern England, and Siberia. The males have diverse and colorful plumage, characterized by an iridescent crown, chestnut-colored cheeks, and a white eye stripe that extends from their red bills to the back of their heads. Females are less flamboyant in appearance and tend to be gray, white, brown, and greenish brown, with a white throat and foreneck.These birds live in woodland areas near streams and lakes. Being omnivorous, theytend to have a seasonal diet, eating acorns and grains in autumn; insects, land snails, and aquatic plants in spring; and dew worms, grasshoppers, frogs, fish, and mollusks during the summer months.The mating ritual of Mandarin ducks begins with an elaborate and complex courtshipdance that involves shaking movements, mimed drinking gestures, and preening.Males fight each other to win a female, but it is ultimately the female who decides her mate. Mandarin ducklings instinctively follow their notoriously protective mothers, who will feign injury to distract predators such as otters, raccoon dogs, mink, polecats, eagle owls, and grass snakes.Mandarin ducks are not an endangered species, but they are considered to be threatened. Loggers continuously encroach upon their habitats, and hunters and poachers prize the males for their plumage. Their meat is considered unpalatable by humans, and they are generally not hunted for food.Genevieve d'Entremont was the production editor and proofreader for Designing Interfaces.

Great Disappointment
By Humanist Nerd
from Barcelona, Spain
About Me Content worker
Best Uses
This is perhaps the first time I feel like asking a book publisher for a refund. It's a real disappointment, especially from O'Reilly. The author goes to some pains to say the book is not for beginners, then goes on to explain the most basic ideas about UI and patterns. She seems unsure of what she really wants to do with this book.Also, I would have expected a book copyrighted in 2009 to be updated at least with patters for multitouch (Apple products) and fewer examples of green monochrome Palm OS screens. Of course, principles remain the same, but I don't see a lot of discussion of tactile interfaces, nor of modern patterns that favour direct data manipulation.The author's approach to patterns is interesting, but in itself is not sufficient to excite my interest or attention.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Great interface component reference
By Anonymous
from Undisclosed
For many years now, I have been coding web sites and applications. Through all that time, nothing has ever been as tough for me as coming up with a design that I am truly happy with. Attempting to create an optimized and stable algorithm or coming up with the answer to a problem that requires non-conventional coding practices; these are always challenges, but ones that are most often eventually solved. Creating that mythical eye catching never-been-done-before layout is something that I have attempted and, sadly to say, usually fell short on. I suppose you'd consider this a case of a programmer wanting an application to not look like a programmer designed it. This was my reason for picking up the Designing Interfaces book. The first chapter talks about how users think. However, as I finished the chapter introduction, I realized that the author and I are definitely coming from two very different places. In my experience, I get very little hands-on with the user base, or the client that the application is being built for. Even if I do talk to the client directly, instead of going through the levels of proper channels, they usually have a set design in mind, limiting my choices. That's not to say, however, that a good designer couldn't be creative given these design constraints. On the other hand, the author mentions that building a user profile is something that eats up a lot of time though it is always worth it, and while I agree whole-heartedly, sometimes a deadline approaches too quickly or it's just not in the budget to give this the time it truly needs. Past this quibble and reading on, the patterns of human behavior in the first chapter give an almost checklist of things to keep in mind when designing, and even though you read and probably think, "common sense", it is very helpful to have in one place. As the chapters passed one by one, I found the same patterns in my reading emerge. Read the introduction to the chapters the first time you pick up the book to get an idea behind why that particular chapter is important, or, at the very least, for posterity. After that, just skip to the section in each chapter marked as "Patterns" when you need them. These patterns are where the book really shines. Each of the patterns are laid out in a similar way letting you quickly see what it is, when you would use it, why it is used (as in why it is beneficial to your user), how you create the pattern, and then some examples of its use. Considering that there are nine chapters, each with about ten different patterns, this book contains a wealth of information. I was originally hoping for more of a design lesson; color theory, placement with a hint of golden ratios, maybe a small college art class packed into 331 pages. Though I did not get much of that, at least until the last chapter or two, I definitely found an excellent reference to keep by my side. For example, if I'm building a layout, I'll open the book right up to chapter 4 to see what the common options are; for showing hierarchical data, I'm opening up to chapter 6 to see when and for what reason I might want to go with a tree map over a normal tree. I couldn't recommend it more to someone wanting a helpful component pocket guide of sorts for interfaces, but if you are looking for theory, I'd go with something more geared in that direction.

Web designers should read this too
By cicerone
From the title, you might think this is geared at software GUI designers and to a certain extent, it is (it's about a 50/50 split between desktop and Web examples). However, this is a false dichotomy because in a nutshell, what is Web design? It's a (branded) software interface for Web content. This book will teach you interface design patterns that are very relevant for the Web and as the Web becomes an application platform in of itself, it's even more imperative to have a grasp of these idioms beyond "Home" and "About Us"
Just Excellent
By Steve Stanicki
Designing Interfaces: Patterns for Effective Interaction Design by Jenifer Tidwell.I have taken a more than a couple programming language classes during my IT career, and not until discovering this book did I realize that something was missing fromthem: Interface Design. It usually got about two sentences per semester, and it was usually something like "make sure your prompts and input controls line up". This book is a remedy for those who want to develop professional looking applications,but need help organizing the information and user controls on a screen. The format reminds me of a college textbook: many color illustrations, diagrams, and bullet points. It uses examples (screenshots) of how well known applications organize and present data for the user. These include dialog boxes for desktop applications, menu items for hand held devices, and web applications using real life examples. The examples shown are from familiar applications and web sites to include but not limited include Excel, Photoshop, blogs, and many many more.The first chapter deals with getting to know what your users expect (a bit of analysis). Chapter 2 discusses dividing up the information to be presented. After that the book is divided into Navigation, Page Layout, User Actions and Commands, Showing Complex Data, Form Design, as well as Builders and Editors (Word, Paintshop etc...). The last chaptercovers style and aesthetics: typography, color, imgages, and even the use of angles andcurves. The real strength of this book is that the design solutions are organized by What to use, When to Use It, Why you would use it, and How to use it. These ideas are reinforced with screen shots of well known commercial applications I have to give this book 5 of 5 stars for these reasons. 1. Clarity - the author follows her own advice in format, organization and content. If you don't know what a Closeable panel is, look on page 111, there's a picture. 2. The what's, why's, when's, and how's of each type of design idiom for user interfaces. It's to the point. 3. Tons of real world examples in graphic representation. 4. Covers a broad scope, but provides ample details for each subject.5. Interfaces such as maps, graphs, charts, user input, and page navigation are included. There's something for everyone.6. Applies to both desktop and web applications. (I see plenty of web design books, but little or nothing on the subject of interfaces in general).
excellent pattern catalog
By Jeanne Boyarsky
"Designing Interfaces" does for UIs what the Gang of Four did for code. Each chapter starts with a detailed overview of a UI topic with examples of good and bad design. The bulk of the chapter goes into many idioms/patterns that apply to that part of UI design. For example, form design, data presentation and editors are covered in chapter form. There is even a chapter on the emotional effect of pages. The emphasis on user interaction and not just design, distinguishes this book from others.While there are many books on website design, this one also covers desktop and mobile interfaces. Many principles are the same and differences are highlighted. The author culls some ideas from the website design and usability classics; always making a reference. Other ideas are standards and yet more are original. The main point of the book is to create a catalog and common language for discussing interface design. At this, the author succeeds fabulously. Each idiom or pattern is given a distinctive name, described with the what/when/why/how and provides examples. Just like Gang of Four, the patterns are appropriately cross referenced. This book is both a great read and a great reference. If you design or make GUI recommendations, you should buy it today!

A snapshot of the Aussie father
01 September 2013 , 9:45 AM by Rob Minshull
Fathers make up around 20% of Australia's population so there are around 4.6 millions Dads. An estimated 2.2 million Dads have children under the age of 18 and, of these, around 156,000 are single-parent fathers who look after 228,000 children.
Working Dads, stay-at-home Dads, single Dads and step Dads. Joing Warren Boland to talk about the diversity of Australian Dads, and the changing role of the father, is the social researcher Mark McCrindle.
Mark McCrindle is a social researcher who has recently written an article about the diversity of Australian Dads. You can read the article by clicking here.

Trufant man loses pole barn, pickup truck in fire (Photo Gallery)
TRUFANT — A pole barn and partially restored Chevy pickup truck were destroyed in a fire Thursday afternoon at 552 S. Masters Rd.
Stan Wills was resting in his home around 3 p.m. when a firefighter began banging on his front door and ringing his doorbell to alarm him of the fire.
"I was inside my house laying down when a firefighter rang my door bell," he said. "I looked out the window and couldn't believe it. My barn was on fire."
Wills said he and the firefighter used his own hose to spray down the nearby propane tank, about 15 feet from the pole barn, until assistance from Lakeview District and Maple Valley Township fire departments arrived.
Maple Valley Township Fire Chief Dan Kain said when firefighters arrived on scene the fire was fully involved.
"The fire is under control, we're just putting out the remaining hot spots," he said. "But the pole barn is a complete loss."
Kain said the cause of the fire is not known and is "still under investigation."
No one was harmed in the fire, something Wills said he was very thankful for.
"I was just working in that barn earlier today," he said. "Things like my 1983 Chevy pickup truck, lumber and other things I had in there can be replaced, but people can't."
