I think we should have a thread here similar to the one about boba, with a breakdown of the parts and the ballpark figure of how much someone could expect to pay for each.
- Han panel $300-600 (depending on if you get a full front or in pieces)
- Box $50-100 (if you make it yourself) $200-300
- Side panels (volvo instrument panel casts) $300-400
- Greeblies ???
- U-Clips $100-150
- Electronics $75-175
- Incidentals ???
Are there any parts i'm missing? How much have you paid for each part? Let me know and i'll compile it here.

"You Own the Year"
You own the year and years before you
As I the year and all that's passed;
Your signs are rising, eternity is steadfast.
Quo vadis, then? I who serve eternities am overruled
By sheer numbers, countless previous dispensations viewed
In retrospect and circumspect in vast
And spacious notions of impermanence and impasse.
I see before the fact in part, imperfectly at present, pursued
By spoils of the war and coupled with a dubious acquired taste
For bitters, an acerbic memory gained close at hand or lost at sea.
Nothing in this world is or is so stable
That it is not utterly dependent, created, removed and recreated on the table
Of bounties throughout creation; what God has willed to use or waste
Shall be not be more or less than what it is and what is not shall never be.*
* "Protect me, O my Lord, from every evil that Thine omniscience perceiveth, inasmuch as there is no power nor strength but in Thee, no triumph is forthcoming save from Thy presence, and it is Thine alone to command. Whatever God hath willed hath been, and that which He hath not willed shall not be.
There is no power nor strength except in God, the Most Exalted, the Most Mighty."
–His HolinessThe Báb, Selections from the Writings of the Báb, pp. 190-191

59 chevy power windows
i never thought about the chest= forward impact.your right,good idea.tilt safety was fed mandated in 1967.so were many other must do items.
i never have been a big fan of aftermarket accessories,i stick as much as i can to stock with all the stuff i sell.the old cars are drying up so the supplies are getting tight.very clever to use the coarse tooth gears.the 53 looks nice.
i do gotta say,the Sun tack brings back the old days.i put a bracket on the dash(73 Cutlass"S") with a square 1/2" socket male and female.i mounted the Sun Super right in front of the steering wheel.when i had to park the car somewhere it might get stolen i would just take it off the dash unplug it and put it in the trunk.the tach went with the car when it sold.i wish i still had it.
what's the craziest engine swap you ever did?i'm a Pontiac guy and had a big thing for putting Pontiac motors in Chevy's.
i was also big on customizing my cars.Ahhhhhhh the good old days.
We considered power windows but Troy wasn't excited about it. If we had done it, we would have used the stock '59 riser mechanisms and adapted on Ford power motors (see here).
These Ford motors have the same gear pitch as all old window risers so all it takes is welding on a mounting tab. NO after market riser mechanism can compete with the stock factory ones. I show how I did this on my '53 Chevy pickup. Then all you need to do is wire in a set of junk yard or repro 70s Chevy chrome switches (see here ).
See the master 4-switch in front. single swithch in rear on my pickup.
Results in a much better and cheaper power window than the flimsy Chinese power riser systems.
You are correct, if we had gone the column shifter route, installation would have been much more complicated. I think we will take off the '59 dash mounting bracket and cut out the front of the mounting slots so if a body slams into it the the wheel, th bracket will slide from under the screws and activate the internal collapsing joint. might as well employ all the safety as possible.
59 chevy tilt
hi,your right about the sleeve spacing.cutting it off helps.the columns i build have significant machine work to the upper components.it helps to have a friend who's a great machinist.i've been custom building tilts for lots of years now and it gets real interesting when you set these up as column shifts.the neutral/backup switch is on the bottom of the column so it has to be properly located.the rotating shift tube has to be given internal clearance from the mount saddle.it,s kind of tricky but i've got it figured out.i also found a perfect length lower collapsible shaft.i also have put a weld on stop tab to keep the column in the dash in the event of front impact.these cars impaled and killed more people in the day.i use 59-50 tilt/turn style knobs.your right about the belly comfort and at my age it is really more that just nice.LOL
put a tilt with a power seat and it makes them comfy for long cruises.
one other thing,i noticed you don't have power windows.i have stock sets with original regs and new switches/wiring.
nice job on your Camino!
I think you are refering to this how-to entry in my photo journal? We didn't measure the wheel spacing but it doesn't seem uncomfortable. It would be easy to knock out an inche or so of intrusion by simply cutting off a like amount from the top of the '59 sleeve and moving the dash mount screw holes up also. I have noticed photos of other cars with a tilt column conversion and custom steering wheel and adapter do stick way farther into the driver's chest. The stock '59 wheel doesn't stick out near as much. Regardless, the lap room is wonderful.
59 Chevy tilt
the only problem with this conversion.(59 El Camino)the top of the column puts the steering wheel about 3" closer to the driver.this crowds the tight driver compartment more.i have modified a column to add about 1/2 inch to the top of the stock column and have used the dash trim and made it a column shift.i also made a floor shift for 4 speed applications.for more info Bill@231-468-2666

Welcome to a new feature on Arsenal.com - Talking Heads.
Before and after every first-team fixture our MatchDay Show team - and an Arsenal blogger - will have their say on the match.
Arsenal took on Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday and our Talking Heads for this game were Dan Roebuck, Nigel Winterburn and James McNicholas of Gunnerblog.
Read on for their post-match comments and recap what they said before the game.
This was about as straightforward a victory as Arsenal could have hoped for on another afternoon when everything went their way. With Chelsea and Tottenham already having played out a goalless draw, the stage was set for Arsenal to extend their lead in third place - and they did it in style. Kieran Gibbs capped an excellent attacking display with a rare goal, Theo Walcott added a wonderful second and Mikel Arteta capped the lot with a brilliant free-kick from range in the final stages. The pre-match injury to Laurent Koscielny was certainly not ideal but at the same time it did give Johan Djourou some much-needed minutes. There may have been a few hairy moments in the second half but Arsenal's backline demonstrated once more why they can go on to achieve big things next season. Eight games left and it remains firmly in Arsenal's hands.
Arsenal march on after an excellent win at Everton - and third place is now theirs. Who would have thought they could be here just one month ago, let alone at the beginning of the campaign when they were languishing in 17th place? Now they face an Aston Villa side who have struggled in the Premier League so far this season. They may have proved tough nuts to crack in both fixtures against Arsenal this season, but Alex McLeish's side have found consistency incredibly hard to come by. Without Darren Bent they lack sharpness up front, but in Gabriel Agbonlahor they have a player capable of frightening any side on his day. The problem for Villa is that those days just do not come often enough. It is the same story for the likes of Stephen Ireland, Marc Albrighton and Charles N'Zogbia - all gifted, yet equally as inconsistent. Expect Villa to head to Emirates Stadium with five in midfield and make life difficult for Arsenal once more. But on this form it seems difficult to see past anything other than a seventh straight Gunners league victory.
I thought it was a terrific performance from Arsenal, especially in the first half when they completely outplayed Aston Villa. They were in control in the second half as well and it's no surprise that their intensity dropped a little because it's tough to maintain it when there is hardly any threat from the opposition. The job was done in the first half really. There were a couple of excellent goals too - Song's pass and Walcott's finish were both superb for the second goal and of course Arteta's strike right at the end was top class. I thought Song played really well throughout the game and Theo was outstanding too. He is linking up really well with Sagna on the right. All in all Arsenal were very impressive.
Arsenal are on a really good run at the moment. I think they hit their low point at AC Milan but since then they have been outstanding to claw their way back into the top four and beyond. After the Everton result they are now in third and the players will know they just need to finish up and make sure they are in that top four. Alex McLeish's appointment at Aston Villa surprised a lot of people and I think that has made it very difficult. I don't think lots of supporters can get used to his style of play because it seems quite bland and direct at times. It has been a mixed season for them, they have been inconsistent and have had some poor performances. But on occasions they have played very well and a lot of people would expect their league position to be higher than it is. But saying that, I don't think they have an overly strong squad. They have a few young players who can cause some damage; the likes of Charles N'Zogbia for example, who has not been too consistent but is still a player that can turn a game. I think Villa will just try and make themselves hard to beat but if Arsenal are anywhere near their best then they should win the game comfortably. I'm going to say 3-0 to Arsenal.
JAMES McNICHOLAS, GUNNERBLOG
Despite our winning run, Arsenal's recent fixtures have frayed the nerves of even the most confident fans. There have been last-minute winners, electrifying comebacks, and the odd bit of good luck along the way. This game, then, was notable for the relative serenity with which Arsenal collected three points. We were able to win at something of a canter, never finding a need to go in to top gear. The display was sprinkled with moments of real quality: Alex Song's sumptuous clipped pass for Theo Walcott, the Englishman's immaculate finish, and Mikel Arteta's thunderous free-kick. It was also pleasing to see Andre Santos return from injury as a substitute, after several months of the sidelines. One can't help but suspect that few games between now and the end of the season will be as comfortable as this.
Midweek was momentous for Arsenal. With Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool all failing to win, we were able to capitalise with a hard-fought victory at Goodison Park that took us up to third. Now comes the hard part: staying there. Our home form will be crucial in this period - clashes with Man City and Chelsea await - so it's vital we continue to build momentum in this game against Aston Villa. We faced them at the Emirates in the FA Cup just two months ago. Finding ourselves 2-0 down, we went on to produce a comeback that laid the foundations for the turnarounds against Sunderland, Tottenham, Liverpool and Newcastle. For the sake of Arsenal fans everywhere, I hope we don't make it quite so difficult for ourselves on Saturday. Villa will be without one of their scorers and star men on that day, Darren Bent, and with Robbie Keane having returned to Los Angeles they look a little lightweight up front. Arsenal are benefitting, particularly defensively, from finally being able to name identical or similar teams week-to-week, so I don't imagine we'll see many changes. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain might be unleashed on Villa once again, and if he and others can show the good form of recent weeks, I expect an Arsenal victory.

Zimmermann beats Fish in best start of year
Zimmermann beats Fish in best start of year
Behind six shutout innings from Zimmermann, the Nationals started off the second half with a 5-1 win against the National League East-rival Marlins before 30,911 at Marlins Park.
"He picked up right where he left off," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said of Zimmermann, who improved to 6-6 with a rotation-best 2.48 ERA.
Zimmermann was winless in his first six career starts against the Marlins, going 0-3 with a 4.81 ERA in 33 2/3 innings against them, including a loss at Marlins Park on May 28 in which he gave up four runs on eight hits over six innings.
That wasn't the case Friday, though, as the righty reversed his fortunes against Miami in a big way.
Zimmermann, who has been arguably Washington's most consistent starting pitcher this season, was impressive as he turned in his best performance of the year, not allowing a run to cross the plate for the first time in 18 starts. It was the first time the righty didn't give up a run in an outing since Aug. 18, 2011, against the Reds.
The Marlins were unable to get much going against Zimmermann, who scattered four hits and walked just one over his six innings. Miami had one baserunner in each of the first three innings, but after a one-out walk to Jose Reyes in the third, Zimmermann zoned in, retiring the next eight hitters he faced, including five via strikeouts.
The righty sat down 11 of the final 12 Marlins he faced, allowing only a sixth-inning leadoff single to Reyes before Omar Infante and Carlos Lee each popped up to the outfield. Bryce Harper then made a diving grab in shallow center field to get Logan Morrison to end the inning and preserve Zimmermann's shutout effort.
Zimmermann has gone at least six innings in each of his 18 starts this season and he has given up two earned runs or fewer in his last six outings.
"That's what I try to do every time out there, go six, seven, eight innings," Zimmermann said. "I guess this year I've just been lucky enough to put a nice little streak together."
Friday marked Zimmermann's league-leading 16th quality start of the season, although he only has a .500 record to show for it.
"Unfortunately we never score any runs for him and he doesn't get that many wins, but he's Mr. Consistency," Ryan Zimmerman said. "You know what you're going to get out of him."
While Zimmermann was stellar, he got plenty of help on the offensive side. For the first time in his seven starts against the Marlins, the Nationals provided Zimmermann with more than three runs of support.
Ian Desmond put Washington on the board first with an RBI single in the second to plate Adam LaRoche, who finished the night 3-for-4 with two runs scored.
Zimmerman then pitched in with his ninth homer of the season, a two-run shot in the fourth to make it a three-run game. The Nationals pushed the lead to five runs in the top of the sixth when Jesus Flores came through with a two-run single that chased Marlins righty Josh Johnson and handed Miami's ace his first career loss in 16 career starts against Washington.
"He's good. He's always good," Zimmerman said of Johnson. "He's not a fun guy to face, I guess you could say. He made a mistake and I put a good swing on it."
Johnson was previously 8-0 in his career against Washington, but pitched 5 1/3 innings and gave up a career-high-tying 11 hits on Friday.
"I didn't go out there and go deep into the game and give us a chance to win," Johnson said. "Forget about those first three runs. I've got to go out there and get those last two outs, but I didn't do it."
The Marlins tried to rally in the seventh, plating a run against Henry Rodriguez on a John Buck single to put runners on the corners with one out. Michael Gonzalez got pinch-hitter Austin Kearns to hit a liner back to the mound for an easy double play to end the threat.
Five Nationals relievers helped secure the win for Zimmermann, who has been somewhat of an afterthought in Washington's rotation behind All-Stars Gio Gonzalez and Stephen Strasburg despite his consistent production each time out.
"Last year I thought he pitched like a No. 1," Davey Johnson said. "He has continued this year. ... He's grown up to me even more so this year."

The Gowanus Canal - South
Fifth / Sixth Streets
5th St is bisected by the canal. 6th Street only exists on the east side of the canal with the analogous street on the west side called Nelson St.
The six acre brownfield on the west bank of the Gowanus Canal between 5th and Nelson Streets was the home of a manufactured gas plant (MGP) which converted coal to gas for use in buildings, street lights and industrial processes. Manufactured gas was widely used in the late 19th and early 20th century, but competition from oil and natural gas led to the end of most manufactured gas production by the mid 1960s.
The plant at this location was built by Citizens Gas Company and opened soon after the Gowanus Canal opened in the 1860s and provided convenient shipping of coal to the plant. The plant initially consisted of three gas holding tanks, a retort house and coal storage areas. The plant was purchased by Brooklyn Union Gas (later renamed KeySpan) in 1895. A fertilizer plant on the lot just to the south closed sometime before 1915 and that lot was used for additional tar handling facilities and oil storage tanks. The plant reached its peak size and output in 1939. As manufactured gas became less popular, the site was converted to an oil gasification plant in 1952 before closing in the 1960s. The plant was subsequently demolished and Brooklyn Union Gas sold the land in 1969.
Manufactured gas production creates significant toxic materials, notably coal tars that seep into the ground and do not degrade with time. The careless handling practices of the 19th and early 20th century lead to significant contamination of the area and ignorance of the problem once the facilities had been demolished. The lot to the northeast on the canal became a concrete plant. The lot to the north along Smith St became a truck maintenance facility and parking lot. In 1971, a large warehouse was built on the lot to the south. The main lot itself remained barren when I visited in 2008, although plans were to get superfund money to clean up the site and turn it into a mixed-use development for the wealthy and powerful called "The Public Place".
St. Mary's Playground
St. Mary's Playground is a parks facility under the 9th Street subway viaduct. It is named for the nearby St. Mary's Star of the Sea Roman Catholic Church, which was founded in 1851 and given a name common to sea-faring communities. The viaduct for the IND Crosstown line opened in 1933. The land was acquired by the NY Dept. of Transportation in 1934 by the WPA with the intention of using it for the proposed Gowanus Expressway. The expressway was routed to the south (opening in 1941) and in 1955 the land was transferred to the Parks Department. The first playgrounds opened in the late 1960s.
Meanwhile on the far more industrial east side of the canal, just north of the corner of 5th Street sits a small subterranean pumping station that seems to be unrelated to the Butler/Douglass St pumping station. Although I haven't found any reference to the 5th St pumping station in the Army Corps of Engineers documentation or online, I could definitely hear water gurgling through grates in the sidewalk, and I presume that the water flushes the 4th and/or 6th Street basins.
Eagle Clothes opened a plant on 6th St between 3rd/4th Avenues in 1951. They filed for bankruptcy in 1989, although their sign has remained, perhaps because its sturdy construction will require considerable effort to demolish. (VanishingNewYork)
Seventh / Eighth / Huntington Streets
7th and 8th Streets only exist on the east side of the canal, with the closest analagous street on the west side being Huntington Street.
Culver Viaduct / Ninth Street Bridge / Smith Street Station
This is actually two bridges in one.
The upper Culver Viaduct houses the IND Smith/9th Street Station opened on 7/1/1933 and is the highest elevated station in the NYC subway system, sitting 91 feet over the Gowanus Canal. It has two truss spans surrounding the platforms.
Underneath the subway station is a vertical lift bridge for 9th Street (NYC BIN #2240240). This bridge opened in 2000 to replace a deteriorated bascule bridge originally built in 1903 on the same contract with the Union and Third Street bridges further up the canal. The lift span is 82 feet to provide a channel width of 60 feet under three lanes of traffic and two sidewalks. When raised, the lift span provides a vertical clearance of 60 feet above mean high water. Because the bridge sits underneath another bridge, the normal configuration of two counterweights over the roadway on either side was not possible while providing the maximum clearance, necessitating the unusual use of four counterweights - one on each pillar. The bridge was designed by Hadesty and Hanover, LLP Consulting Engineers
The viaduct concrete deteriorated considerably over the years and a fabric cladding was wrapped around the supporting structure to prevent chunks of concrete from falling off and causing damage or injury. (NY Times 2009).
4th Avenue IND Station
The IND subway line continues east from the canal on the elevated viaduct between 9th and 10th streets to the elevated 4th Avenue Station.
This station and the 9th/Smith St station are "local" stations, although there is actually no service on the express tracks, which may have been built simply to provide an opportunity for future system expansion. The southbound G train terminates at 9th/Smith, then performs a crossover at the 4th Avenue station, resting on the express track east and then performing another crossover to return on the northbound local track, thus making it difficult to actually implement express service on the express tracks. The tracks go subterranean at 4th Street as they head toward Prospect Park and the F train terminus at Coney Island.
Ninth - Twelfth Streets
The businesses most actively using the canal are on the lower half of the canal and deal with heavy, time-insensitive commodities like gravel, fuel oil and scrap metal that are perfectly suited to shipping by water. Accordingly, a concrete plant, scrap metal yard and fuel oil terminal are located on the west bank of the canal between 9th street and Hamilton Avenue - with ready access to the main roads through the area and water access requiring raising only the Hamilton Parkway bridge.
Hamilton Avenue Bridge
This southernmost crossing of the canal is another two-for-one bridge, with the Gowanus Expressway on the upper viaduct and the Hamilton Avenue bascule drawbridge directly below it. The drawbridge contains two separate parallel spans (one for eastbound, one for westbound - NYC BIN #2240231/2). This has been a very popular crossing point since the canal was a creek and a number of different bridges have been built here since the mid 19th century, including bascule bridges in 1905 and 1942. It was renovated around 2005, although I'm not sure how much of the 1905/1942 bridge (if any) was incorporated into the renovation.
Under the Gowanus Expressway viaduct looking west toward the Hamilton Avenue Bridge
DOT Hamilton Plant
This is where New York City's streets come from. Just to the south of Hamilton Avenue on the east bank of the Gowanus Canal is the NYC Department of Transportation's Hamilton Plant where asphalt paving material (asphalt concrete) is made by combining gravel and the thick liquid residue from the distillation of crude oil.
Red Hook
As the Gowanus Canal empties into the bay, to the west is the Red Hook neighborhood which was originally settled by the Dutch in 1636 and was later annexed into Brooklyn. After the American Civil War, developer and railroad contractor William Beard (1806-1886) initiated the development of what has been marshland into Erie Basin, a man-made harbor and storage depot that began the boom in Brooklyn dock activity. After WW-II, dock activity diminished considerably with the advent of containerization and the movement of most port shipping to New Jersey. The neighborhood was also cut off from Brooklyn with the opening of the Cross-Bronx Distressway and the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, and had no subway service, leaving it perennially depressed and, untimately, ripe for adventurously greedy developers during the building boom of the early 2000s. In 2006 Fairway opened a grocery store in the Civil-War-era Red Hook Stores building. In 2008, the furniture store Ikea opened an outlet on the site of the former Todd Shipyards.

If you read this blog regularly, you know that I can be a Facebook supporter (some may say apologist), but today I have a bone to pick with it.
Where others frequently attribute shady intent to everything Facebook does, I see a company legitimately trying to balance the needs of users with the demands of advertisers who fund the free service. Consumers love Facebook, so much so that Facebook now accounts for one of every four page views in the United States, yet you and I pay nothing for it. Or it is more accurate to say that while we provide no cash to Facebook, we do, in fact, pay with our time, attention, data, permission, and clicks (which Facebook converts into cash).
But even Facebook supporters can and should question when the social network takes a step that pushes the envelope of best practices in permission marketing, and I believe it has done just that with Facebook's new Sponsored Stories product. What I find frustrating is how tantalizingly close to perfect the model is, yet the omission of a single feature makes all the difference.
Here's how Facebook Sponsored Stories work:

I am concerned with the durability of the part on the handle that connects the gun handle to the butt of the rifle. This "D" shaped piece seems a little thin compared to the weight of the butt and main rifle, and I was wondering if anyone had problems of their "D" connector breaking.
Mine is resin as well, so that is why I am concerned of it breaking. Is there a metal version of this part readily available?

Pretty much the same as removing rivets on the AKs.
Grind the head flush with a angle grinder (use care, don't screw up the bottom plate, it will be very obvious when finished) drill through them with a small drill to relieve some pressure and press them out.
The rivets are 3/16ths (.187) so I wouldn't go much over a 1/8th (.125) drillbit

If you do decide to get rid of the stocks, grips, or handguard let me know. I'm always looking to pick up an extra set if I can. Of course we need to get a set to jjglith first. jj, if you can't get them from the site that you listed and still want to try online go to Sarco. Some of the stuff doesn't have pics so you may need to call them about condition. I live about 1 1/2hrs. from Sarco and am actually planning a trip up there very soon. I'll check out the sets in person and if I like them I will get a complete set or two and send you pics. I'll sell them to you for exactly what I paid for them. If you want them, great. If not, like I said, I'm always looking for an extra set.Quote:

Thanks! The bear is much larger because when they're standing on their hind legs, generally they are just that much bigger than any other animal up there. I suppose I could have made a larger than average caribou to balance it out, but I wanted to stay close to average relative heights.
What really surprised me is how big the Canada Goose is!

i disagree. you can say "ya" instead of "you", but if you spell it "ya'll", then that makes into "ya will", not "ya all", since "you'll" is "you will", and "ya" is substituted for "you".
just my opinion, of course.

'Palffy's tying goal officially went on the scoresheet unassisted but it was aggressive forechecking by wing Adam Deadmarsh that led to Sabres defenseman Richard Smehlik's ill-advised pass from behind his net. The puck took an odd bounce off the side boards into the left faceoff circle where Palffy ripped a slap shot past Sabres goaltender Bob Essensa high on the glove side.'

Last Beach Picture for Awhile: Long Beach
9 comments:
Long Beach was also recommended to me when I lived in New York. Despite the long train ride it took to get there, it was a pleasant surprise and just what I needed to escape the city (and all of my responsibilities).ReplyDelete
(Also, I noticed that you are from SF and we will be traveling there in July and wanted to visit a beach. All of my research highlights many beaches but with some sort of drawback: fog, wind, or sharks. Could you recommend a family-friendly beach in the SF area?)
Lovely! My two are at the age where the beach just means I am cleaning sand out of diaper butts...ReplyDeleteReplies

Hi! Seems like a long time since I looked at your blog. Doing so makes me miss you! Glad you found Long Beach. I went to a beach in Massachusetts, I think, or maybe it was Rhode Island. Anyways, we had to pay to get on it and it was so crowded!! I felt silly considering the beaches we grew up with. But you do what you gotta do to get that beach craving met.ReplyDelete

text: i have four glocks and never had a problem with any of them, however that is not your question. according to the internet the gen 4 g 19 problem stems from the recoil spring which glock has already addressed. i think the way to handle this would be to call glock in smyrna georgia and ask them which is the right spring for your gun, then compare that to what is in the gun at your dealers. they are suppose to have numbers on them and if you have the wrong one glock will send you one free as stated on the internet. hope this helps!

An unexpected discovery by researchers at The National Institutes of Health (NIH), may help to explain how Alzheimer's disease causes memory loss. The research shows that beta amyloid, a common protein in the brain, can make cell membranes leak choline, and thus reduce production of acetylcholine in cells. Choline, an essential ingredient in acetylcholine, has been known for many years to help store and retrieve memories. Two hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease are accumulation in the brain of beta amyloid and reduction of the concentration of acetylcholine. In Alzheimer's disease, as well as in older subjects with Down syndrome, the brain cells which produce acetylcholine are known to die.
The research is reported in the May 23rd issue of Brain Research by investigators at the National Institute on Aging (NIA) and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders (NINDS). According to Dr. Stanley Rapoport, Chief of the NIA's Laboratory of Neurosciences, "We think that increased leakage of choline through the nerve cell membranes, due to prolonged exposure to excess concentrations of beta amyloid, may make these cells more vulnerable. This could contribute to the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease and Down's syndrome dementia."
Dr. Rapoport and his colleagues performed experiments on cells cultured in laboratory dishes. They added increasing amounts of beta amyloid to the cells, and used fine glass tubing and electrical recordings to examine leakiness (permeability) of the cell membranes in the presence or absence of choline. The more beta amyloid they added, the greater the leakiness in the presence of choline; in the absence of choline, leakiness did not occur. Their results provide evidence for a mechanism of a membrane carrier for choline leakage.
"There still are several difficulties in trying to relate these findings in a culture dish to what may happen in brains of patients with Alzheimer's," Rapoport says. "It is not yet known how much beta amyloid can be present in the brain without any damage being done, nor do we know the effect of prolonged exposure to beta amyloid, compared to the short periods of exposure (24 hours) in our experimental studies. However, we now have a hypothesis to explain some observed nerve cell loss in Alzheimer's disease.
Working with Dr. Rapoport are Dr. Zygmunt Galdzicki, first author of the manuscript, Drs. Ryuichi Fukuyama and Kishena C. Wadhwani of the Laboratory of Neurosciences, NIA, and as part of the collaborative effort, Dr. Gerald Ehrenstein of the Clinical Neurology Branch, NINDS, at the NIH.
The NIA, a component of NIH, is the lead federal agency supporting and conducting Alzheimer's disease research, including studies of the basic, clinical, and epidemiological aspects of this and other related dementias of aging.

Many Europeans at first felt uneasy in their new land. They spoke of 'the savage silence, or worse' of the bush. They introduced plants and animals to make the alien environment feel more like home, to beautify their gardens, provide sport for hunters and 'aggrandise' the colony. But above all, they wanted to make the land economically productive.

The Victorian Acclimatisation Society was founded in 1861 by Edward Wilson, a private collector whose motto was 'if it lives, we want it'. The Melbourne Zoo was established by the Acclimatisation Society to house imported animals prior to their release. At the same time, government botanist Ferdinand von Mueller focused on the introduction of plant species from other parts of Australia and elsewhere in the world. Some, like blackberries, initially proved productive, but became noxious weeds or pests.
Many of the specimens collected or acquired by the Acclimatization Society later became part of Museum Victoria's collection.

Hi Ian,
This object information sheet for an Acclimatisation Society medal has the following information: "The Acclimatization Society of Victoria folded about 1872, as the implications of its actions began to be realised."
Hi Paul, our collection manager has searched our database looking for any reference to this particular specimen and unfortunately not come up with any results. He has said that as far as he can see we did not register any Thylacine specimen in this period. During those years the animal was still occurring in the wild and it could be that while it was given to us it may not have stayed here as other world institutions were seeking curios like that. Our Director at the time, Sir Frederick McCoy, tended to exchange items such as these for specimens of interest offered from elsewhere. He is not saying that he did that in this instance but it is something that may have occurred.
Hi Harry,
Yes, the Acclimatisation Society listed in the Museum Victoria information sheets is the same Acclimatisation Society that you are looking for and was set up in Victoria, in 1861. Chronicles of a Modern Victorian Naturalist provides a biography of Frank Buckland's work and life. The Zoological and Acclimatisation Society of Victoria succeeded the Acclimatisation Society of Victoria in 1872. In 1910 the Society was granted royal charter, becoming the Royal Zoological and Acclimatisation Society of Victoria which existed from 1910 to 1957. Each state seems to have had its own branch of the society as did New Zealand.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.

Arsène Wenger believes that his side must pick up points against their title rivals if they are to win the Premier League this season.
Arsenal are currently six points adrift of leaders Liverpool and the manager is adamant that the gap cannot grow if they are to stay in the title hunt. Speaking ahead of Saturday's trip to Stoke, the Frenchman insisted that wins against the so-called 'Big Four' will secure the Premier League title.
"We want to come back as quickly as possible," said the manager. "It looks like our future in this Premier League relies on how well we do against the other contenders.
"There is always another game around the corner and the future of the team depends on how well we respond after the disappointing result. That is why Saturday's game is important."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

New York, New York
Q&A with the Bride
What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
During my time as an actress I booked a gig for a wedding photo shoot at Angel Orensanz Foundation. To be absolutely honest, I almost didn't even walk through the front door when I arrived onset. I looked up at the old building with it's paint peeled towering gates from the sidewalk where I was standing and I instantly had visions of being in a real life situation resembling the first two-minutes of every Law & Order: SVU episode. I took a deep breath, walked through the front doors and my heart stopped. The perfectly preserved Gothic interior majestically lit as if it were frozen in time, glow of the chandeliers above; it was the most magical hidden gem in the City and you would never suspect it from the outside. From that point on, I knew if I ever got married I couldn't imagine a more perfect location.
Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
My wedding planner, Maya Kalman of Swank Productions, and I had four months to plan everything. During our initial consultation I had mentioned the idea of maybe doing a few DIY projects myself to justify the typical costs of a Manhattan wedding. One of my suggestions was using paper flowers to create a really personal and romantic feel, but I cringed at the thought of tissue paper pom-poms or crepe paper flowers that didn't look realistic. I wanted paper flowers that looked lush, organic, luxurious and had durability. After a few hours of fruitless online searching I just decided I was going to make my own. Had I made paper flowers before? No. Had I made anything out of paper or even picked up a glue gun since my days in Girl Scouts? Absolutely not. What stemmed from an idea of maybe creating five or ten flowers blossomed into a collection of over 700 uniquely handcrafted individual pieces of floral artwork from personalized escort cards, boutonnieres and corsages to a cascading bridal bouquet and five tier wedding cake dripping in vines.
Give us the one moment in your wedding day you can't stop thinking about.
We hosted our cocktail hour and reception on the mezzanine level of Angel Orensanz which was curtained off from the main room below. In lieu of the standard stadium announcement of the newlyweds followed by awkward transitional pauses, Scott and I opted for a subtle gesture to announce the end of cocktail hour, signal the start of dinner, and our arrival to the reception. As the lights began to rise in the main room, the music of "Cosmic Love" by Florence and the Machine softly mixed in, and one by one each panel of curtain upstairs was pulled back to allow the guests to watch us during our first dance from above.

I am about to start the customizing of my mando armor but I need some advice. I am wanting to add some blaster/slug hits on my chest plates but don't know how to make them look good. I have thought about doing dremel work but also thought of maybe taking a metal rod and grinding the sides down to make it look like a blunt spear, heat it and press it into the plastic of the armor to melt it into a blaster patern.
Has anyone tried this before, and any suggestions that you have for this type of battle damage It would be appriciate it.
Here is a link to my armor concepts so far. After Christmas I am planing to dive into the project big time.

This is extremely well executed. The chalk effect and the design splash are really top notch. This should be in the fog.

Re: The Mask Collector
Nooooooo!! Copyright law has been a real downer this week.
Re: The Mask Collector (v 2.0)
Well, I'm sad that the original got rejected, but hopefully the changes I made are sufficient. I redid pretty much every single pc mask on the entire design, as well as link himself, and changed/got rid of a lot of the distinguishing features, but hopefully kept the spirit of them recognizable. I also made an effort to try to make the masks in a style reminiscent of the original game- if you enjoyed it before, I hope you will revote now It's probably too late to make it, but it doesn't hurt to try right?
Thanks everyone for the major support on the first submission of the design
No use crying over spilled milk Version 2 can be found here- hopefully the woot gods will think this is acceptable now.

Re: Futuregg
So funny :D
I wonder where the cat that hacked up the hairball that's hacking up the cat went off to?
I'm still hoping this gets printed. I want it badly.
Kitten, tastes like Chicken!
This is so great, Walmazan! My favorite in the derby! +1 for sure. I want to wear hairball kitties!
so crazy cute!! who doesn't love cats?! you've done it once again Walmazan! Great job!!!
This reminds me of me and my cat. I realllly need to get a haircut.
My cats saw this and cringed. I think they will have some very hairy nightmares tonight! XD I, not having ever coughed up a hairball, think this design is adorable! You have my vote, for sure!
This is great! I always love your designs. My cat is the love of my life. I don't have kids yet (I'm 22) but I imagine that I love my cat like I would love my children. She's my baby. She also has a hairball / yakking problem. >_< Drives my mom up the WALL. What better gag gift than this shirt? Also, we have been teaching our dog 'Give to mommy!', and I can just picture handing her the woot bag and telling her to 'give to mommy'. How funny would that be? Having your dog mouth-deliver you a shirt that reminds you why you should love her more than the cats, haha!
Obviously GMV, keep up the good work!!
These are the cutest hairballs I have ever seen.
wait a minute..... Did you use my cat as inspiration for this piece? <3 it!
This is amazing. I love the one with the napkin. I hope it prints.
Such an adorable design. I'd love to even buy a set of the buttons if you make them available.
hahaha! even cats have "bad hair" days!
This is such an awesome design!!! Pretty clever! I dont have any cats but this makes me want one! Pleaseee beee printed! Good job!
WHOA!! That IS epic!!
I love how pleased the second kitty looks! If my kitty looked so content after a hairball it wouldn't make me so annoyed to clean it up. :p
I see what you did there.
NOOOOOO! This is almost as infuriating as when you pick charmander, only to realize the first two gym leaders are rock and water!

AOLer Fletcher Jones Inspires Incubator Lab
Aug 7, 2012
As Senior Director of AOL's Strategic Partnerships, Fletcher "Fletch" Jones knows how to bring together powerful parties to collaborate on a greater vision. Working with a number of AOL's larger relationships that power websites like DailyFinance, AOL Jobs, and AOL Real Estate, Jones and his team focuses on deal performance. "Business Development does the deals and then someone has to work with the partners and the AOL GMs to make sure the potential of the deal is realized for both parties," said Jones. "I'm an advocate for the partner within AOL and for AOL when dealing with the partner. It's an enjoyable role because of the relationships required both inside and outside the company as well as the real, measurable business metrics involved."
Jones utilized his relationship management skills when collaborating with fellow AOLers, Bud Rosenthal and Brian McMahon, to found Fishbowl Labs, a startup incubator for the D.C. tech community that lives on AOL's Dulles campus. How did Fishbowl Labs begin? "The idea itself – to provide free space on campus to local startups – was not a new one," said Jones. "It is something we'd proven out in Palo Alto and New York. Many in Dulles had asked the question – why not here? I think the reality is that you just need someone or a small group of someones to take the initiative and see it through. Bud Rosenthal, Brian McMahon and I worked on the idea and pitched it to local VC and startup community for probably nine months before the first company moved in."
"The Fishbowl," named for its glass walls, is a perfect space to showcase the startup community. When looking for startups to join the lab, Jones and team look for a strong cultural fit within AOL and the other startups already in the portfolio. Jones explains that "they also look at the problem the startups are solving for and the technology and ideas they employ. What we don't worry too much about is whether their business is going to scale into the next LivingSocial. Since we aren't investing, we can put an emphasis on the culture fit and knowledge transfer and still win big."
When discussing the Dulles tech scene, Jones shares that "people would be surprised by the number of technical folks working in basements and garages in northern Virginia. We got our first six companies in through word of mouth alone. Recent stories by Washington Business Journal and TechCocktail have also created a real surge in interest. A 'Build it and they will come' mentality is really how it's playing out for Fishbowl Labs right now."
Jones joined AOL through the acquisition of Netscape Communications in 1999 and has worked in product management, marketing and business operations roles over the years. A former rower at the University of Michigan, Jones still enjoys exercising as well as coaching and home improvement. His favorite AOL product is AOL Mail and "like many, has had the address for a long time and it's part of my identity." Jones is also addicted to caffeine "and can't operate without coffee first thing in the morning."

'Earlier this week, Lindy Ruff told the 29-year-old Biron — who's set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer — to be ready for an increase in workload as the Sabres' coach wanted to give Ryan Miller some time off to recharge and refocus. Biron definitely didn't disappointed his coach or his teammates. With the way Buffalo's backup goalie played during Tuesday night's 7-1 rout and again tonight, one wouldn't be too surprised if Ruff decides to give his All-Star netminder just a few more days to recoup.'

Katie Chapman has paid tribute to the spirit of her Arsenal Ladies team-mates after they sealed a domestic double with victory over Birmingham on Wednesday night.
After a host of chances were missed, Kim Little's wonder goal nine minutes from time finally gave Laura Harvey's side victory in a game they had controlled for large parts.
Speaking at full time, Chapman praised the team's strong-mindedness, which she believes also helped them go through the Women's Super League season undefeated.
"As a team we're resilient," she told Arsenal.com. "It could have been one of those games where you have all the chances and they go up the other end and score. But we kept going, stuck to the game plan and got the goal from Kim.
"Wednesday night and winning the league are the memories that really stand out from the season," Chapman added. "We wanted to win the league because it's about consistency and showing you can be champions.
"Against Birmingham we wanted to prove why we're champions and make sure we kept hold of the Continental Cup as well."
Arsenal have dominated English football for the past decade, but Chapman says the squad will not rest until they have recaptured the Women's Champions League title they won in 2007, when it was known as the UEFA Women's Cup.
"We've got to look forward and keep wanting to win," she said. "The reason we play is to win things and progress and hopefully we can continue to do that.
"We're hunting for the Champions League too, so to do well in that would be nice. It's going to be a really tough game [against Potsdam] but it's one we're all looking forward to.
"We're going to really focus on the tie and hopefully we can progress through it."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

CHAPEL HILL --- Freshman Xylina McDaniel notched a double-double with 18 points and 12 rebounds in her collegiate debut, as North Carolina defeated Davidson 70-59 on Friday in the opening round of the Preseason WNIT at Carmichael Arena.
McDaniel led all scorers and added four steals to her contributions in her opening minutes as a Tar Heel.
After a back-and-forth game in its opening minutes, the Tar Heels went on a commanding 30-10 run in the middle of the second half to pull away.
UNC scored 56 points in the paint, as center Waltiea Rolle put up a double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds. The senior also added four blocks to the Carolina defensive effort, which held Davidson under 40 percent from the field and forced 27 turnovers.
Tierra Ruffin-Pratt finished the game with 14 points and three assists, while Danielle Butts scored 10 points off the bench. Overall, UNC finished the game shooting 42.1 percent.
North Carolina also pressured the Wildcats on the glass, outrebounding Davidson 47-36. Senior forward Krista Gross contributed 10 of those boards, while also scoring four points and notching a team-high four assists.
Davidson guard Laura Murray led the Wildcats with 16 points, while forward Hannah Early added 10 points off the bench.
McDaniel led North Carolina at the half with eight points and five rebounds, while Rolle chipped in seven points and six rebounds in the game's first 20 minutes.
The Tar Heels strung together an 18-4 run in the final nine minutes of the first period to pull away from Davidson after a previously close game. Carolina went into the break leading the Wildcats by nine, UNC's biggest lead of the first half, on 40.5 percent shooting.
Davidson clawed back to within two points multiple times during the opening minutes of the second half. A 3-pointer from Sophia Aleksandravicius with just under 15 minutes to go in the second half tied the game at 40 before the Tar Heels powered their way to a lead they would not relinquish.
The Preseason WNIT continues with the quarterfinals Sunday, when Carolina will play Duquesne at 5 p.m. UNC will be honoring Veterans Day by admitting all veterans and their families for just $1.

|I apologize, I am new to the site and still learning my way around. & I'll try and do that sometime tomorrow! Again I apologize.
Hey Smitherman - I moved your post out of the Suggestions Forum. Please look over the board index and post your question in the correct forum for the most appropriate help.
I think 10 lbs at 9 weeks is small, but not abnormal. I've seen other pups that age start out slow, but then they catch up. More important to determine correct weight/condition is not the height at the shoulders and the number on the scale, but the actual physical look of the puppy. Pup should not be roly-poly, neither should she be so thin as to have her ribs showing. Best thing to do is to take pictures of her STANDING from the side, and from the top looking down at her back, and post the pics for us to look at them.
I know you posted a few pics earlier, but hard to say from a sitting head-on shot. Although, from those pics, she looks to be in good condition.
Is my German Shepherd puppy underweight?
I have a 9 week old GSD, well everyone is saying I have been scammed because she looks nothing like a German Shepherd. Anyways, the breeder took her to the vet and they gave her shots and they wormed her. She did have worms because that was the first time she had been to the vet. She lost weight, and you could actually tell it for sure. As of right now she weighs about 12 pounds and it seems like she is gaining at least 3 pounds every week, give or take a couple pounds. So, she is 10 pounds as of right now. I measured her and from the floor to the top of her back is 13 inches. Is she big or small for her age? Also is now a good time for training?
Here is a few pics....

Thanks for the encouragement! That is absolutely HILARIOUS about your puppy, blackshep. That's exactly what I'm hoping for, but I just worry, I don't want to inadvertently make things worse.
I totally agree about the plush toys. I'm just trying to figure out a good arrangement for while I'm working and the dog is going to be crated right next to me. At home it will be different. I definitely prefer doing rubber toys in general, anyway, because I'd like to see if I can avoid having the pup get in the habit of immediately gutting plush toys the way my current dog does, haha!
Your puppy will settle, might take a week or two, to get into the new routine. All the chaos will become white noise. Puppies get tired easily, when I brought my new pup home, he was so exhausted by the end of the day, he was asleep on a blanket on my couch and my GSD was shoving him with her nose trying to wake him up and he was flopping around like a rag doll, didn't even open his eyes.
I always leave a couple of toys in the crate when they are young (the kind that are made for chewing, like a Kong), but not when they are older and could potentially chew pieces off.
|I'm usually prepared with some good chewys and cover the entire crate with a towel.
Tips on Crating With Distractions
So, we don't have our puppy yet, but I was hoping for some ideas for when we eventually get her. I'm a groomer, and one of the perks is that I'll be able to take my puppy to work with me so we can still go out for potty breaks and things like that within a reasonable time. The thing I'm concerned about, however, is how chaotic a shop can get, and how loud a GSD can get! Honestly, the noise doesn't bother me in the slightest, but when one dog starts barking, they tend to all get going, and we have neighbors to worry about.
The thing I'm concerned with is that there's going to be too much going on for the puppy to settle down. It's one thing when you're crating at home and it's nice and calm, but there's a constant stream of dogs and people walking past while we're working. I'm already planning on having tons of work-only busy toys/treats in the crate, but what I'm concerned about is active training while we're there. The crate will be able to be right next to my work station, so I'll be next to her most of the time. So, while I have the option of treating and praising for calm, ignoring behavior, I also don't want to get the dog worked up and excited about the attention.
I guess I could maybe treat for actively ignoring things like dogs walking past, or engage the dog if I know a really big distraction is coming, to try and encourage a positive response rather than letting the dog practice unwanted behavior. Any other thoughts or ideas to try? Anyone ever go through similar training before? I'm just trying to be as prepared as I can! Thanks!

Hello guys, I'm a little bit disappointed with one thing: some posts in this thread was blocked and marked "against self-promotion", some – not. So I would like to understand one simple thing: For what did this thread is started? And what kind of discussion should it contain if we can't say "hello people, this is my new AJ work, please rate it" or something like that? If the track is rejected (not good work) we can discuss it but if it is approved – we can't? Correct me, if I'm wrong. This is not complaint, because my post is non-blocked ...yet. Staff replies also appreciated
This is really disappointed for me too!!!
Hey guys, It's true that there is a lack of clarity on this topic. However, in the absence of black and white rules, I can only give you this feedback.
Item discussion is fine if there is something specific to discuss, and when posted in healthy way. And yes, generally, the moderation staff may allow a new user to announce a new/first item.
Discussing rejections is clear cut, we can all agree on that in principle.
For approved items, however, it becomes an issue when posting becomes a visible habit. Posting a simple.. "Look at my track, please rate!" for several recent approvals in a short span, especially without opening the 'Discussion' on any specific point, is problematic.
Consider these examples:
1. Check out my latest track! What do you think?
2. Check out my first pack!
3. Our best selling items!
Frequently posting like this without stimulating an actual discussion would tend to be perceived more like self-promotion, so if that seems to become a regular occurrence, then yes, threads will be removed or locked
On the other hand, consider:
1. Drum techniques – Here's a track that was approved, I tried a new approach to mastering drums. Anyone have any feedback? Do they sound too compressed on your side? How do you approach compression on your own percussion? Got an example?
2. Better piano? – Here's one of my tracks I'm thinking of modifying.. I want to get a better piano sound.. Do you feel it's worth improving? What's the best way brighten piano in the mix? or maybe I should do a techno version!
3. Vocals or not? – I'd appreciate some opinions here. Listen to the vocal stabs on this one. I like them, but I'm not sure if they would be as appealing to buyers, for general commercial use. I can always have both, yes, but which one do you think I should play first on the preview to please buyers sooner? Thoughts?
These types of posts will stimulate actual Item Discussion, which is what the section is all about.
Of course, it's still subjective. A post here and there for genuine discussion is fine, when an exchange is generated. That said, seeing this approach used on an abnormally regular basis could still be construed as a means to take advantage of Item discussion, just to get those clicks.
Perception of intent is the key thing here, and depending on what moderators see, these instances would be judged on a case by case basis if they become regular.
That's just my opinion for you guys, Hope it clears up questions. Community management may chime in with more tangibles.
Yes, it clears up questions, Thanks ADG3studios. But the question of banning of such a posts is more subjective than others and this is a norm as I understand
