Spring break is a great time to accustom children to longer periods aboard.
For this first cruise, sail on a boat you know well. Sail in waters with which you are familiar so you can give your children your full attention. If you are in an area you have sailed frequently, you'll be able to surprise your children with fun side-trips and you'll always have a quick backup plan in case the weather takes a turn for the worse.
Children as young as three-year-old Kendall Potter can enjoy cruising with the family.
Even if you have a firm idea of where you want to sail, let all family members participate in the planning meeting. Giving children a voice in the discussion will empower them and make them feel like they are contributing to the trip. Feel free, however, to gently "guide" your children into picking the route that you most prefer by giving them hints of what is to come. If your children like to hunt for shells or snorkel, for example, you can suggest the anchorages that you prefer to visit.
During the first cruise, set aside time to share a favorite activity, such as fishing, with your children.
When it comes to making out a shopping list, most children have a clear idea of what they do and do not like to eat. The first cruise is not the time to broaden your children's horizons by introducing new foods.Comfort foods will often help children adapt to new environments. Indulge them with some of their favorite meals if possible.
If you have older children and you are planning to take a longer cruise with them in the future, this might be a good time to discuss your cruising budget. Over many months, paying slip fees at marinas and eating out at restaurants can put a significant dent into any cruiser's budget. Start giving your children a clear idea of how the choices they make affect the family budget and influence your cruising itinerary.
On the day of departure, establish yourself as a calm leader. Show your children where to store food, games, and clothing on the boat. Remind them how to use the head. Let your children know that you have to go through a checklist of fuel, water, and emergency supplies before you can leave the dock. Make sure everyone is wearing a PFD and a harness before you head out to sea.
As you leave the harbor, point out some of your local landmarks and let your children say goodbye. Once you are underway, get your children involved with sailing the boat, planning the day's sail, or preparing lunch. Keeping children involved is a key to keeping them happy.
Plan the first day of the cruise as a half-day sail to give everyone time to make the transition from life on land to cruising. Give your children time to check out the beach, or split into two groups and see how many items each group can check off their list as you play "treasure" (scavenger) hunt with the family.
Don't be surprised if your children want to bring some of their "treasures" back to the boat. According to author and sailor John Kretschmer, letting children fill their personal space with keepsakes and found objects increases the fun of a family cruise.
"Parents must not become tyrannical and insist that the boat be kept 'yacht like' all the time," says Kretschmer, who often sails with his wife and two daughters. "Good old Fortuna becomes a menagerie of shells, sponges, and art projects every time we head over to the Bahamas, but the kids love the boat and love cruising."
At the end of the day, come together for a favorite meal, and then discuss your plans for the next day. Keep the lines of communication open and be flexible about destinations and activities. After all, if you want your children to learn the art of cruising, you'll want them to understand what all cruisers know—we just take it day by day.

Environmental Management System
An Environmental Management System (EMS) provides agencies with a systematic approach to managing their environmental and safety issues.
Following the standard Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA) cycle, agencies are given the opportunity to address and potentially mitigate the significant adverse impacts of their activities on the environment. The EMS utilizes an agency's desire for becoming more environmentally aware. This desire -- this commitment -- must be specifically addressed in a written environmental policy.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14001 Standard, the recognized framework for developing an EMS, provides specific requirements and principles for environmental management. The standard is designed to help facilities meet their environmental obligations rather than add to their mounting legal requirements.
GSA bases both its national and regional EMS on the principles of ISO 14001 and incorporates the best practices of other organizations so that its systems remain as effective and efficient as possible.
For more information on the development of our regional EMS for the Pacific Rim, please contact our EMS Coordinator, Danielle Bogni.
GSA Environmental Policy
The GSA Environmental Policy verbalizes the organization's commitment to be environmentally responsible. The content of the environmental policy describes the organization's aspirations, evoking the degree of commitment by top management and serving as a beacon to influence the behavior and actions of all members of the organization to high achievement for environmental protection.
Regional EMS Commitment Memo [PDF - 62.54 KB]
EMS Terms>
Activities, Products, and Services - A catch-all phrase that was developed by Technical Committee 207 of ISO to capture all of the things at a facility or organization that can interact with the environment.
Environment - Surroundings in which an organization operates including air, water, land, natural resources, flora, fauna, humans and their interrelation.
Environmental Aspect - Elements of an organization's activities, products or services that can interact with the environment. (The environmental aspect of an activity is that part of it that creates a possibility for an environmental impact. As such, it is equivalent to the concept of "hazard" in Safety, which is also defined as the mere possibility of a negative event).
Environmental Impact - Change to the environment, whether adverse or beneficial, wholly or partially resulting from an organization's activities, products or services.
Environmental Management System - The part of the overall management system that includes organizational structure, planning activities, responsibilities, practices, procedures, processes and resources for developing, integrating, achieving, reviewing and maintaining environmental policy.
Environmental Objective - Overall environmental goal arising from the environmental policy that an organization sets to achieve and which is quantified where practicable.
Environmental Performance - Measurable results of the Environmental Management System, related to an organization's control of its environmental aspects, based on its environmental policy, objectives and targets.
Environmental Target - Detailed performance requirement, quantified where practicable, applicable to the organization or parts thereof, that arises from the environmental objectives and that needs to be set and met in order to achieve those objectives.
Likelihood - Likelihood is a measure of how often an aspect can be expected to occur within an activity given the probability of its occurrence for each repetition of the activity and the frequency of the activity over time.
Organization - Company, corporation, firm, enterprise, authority or institution, or part or combination thereof, whether incorporated or not, public or private, that has its own functions and administration.
Potential Environmental Impact - The potential environmental impact of an aspect is defined by its likelihood of occurrence and likely consequences. (It is equivalent to the concept of "risk" in Safety, which assigns a probability and consequence to the possible negative event that may result from a "hazard".)
Procedure - A set of instructions on how an activity or process that is often carried out by several individuals or a team is to be performed. EMS Procedures are used to standardize the way in which an organization's environmental activities are conducted. They contain the information, documents and forms that are necessary for the EMS to function effectively.
Significant Environmental Aspect - This is an environmental aspect that has or can have a significant impact on the environment, the organization, or to the mission of the organization.
Senior Management - That level of management that has executive jurisdiction over the EMS, including the full authority to allocate appropriate resources for its execution.

If you're considering R for statistical computing and data visualization, this book provides a quick and practical guide to just about everything you can do with the open source R language and software environment. You'll learn how to write R functions and use R packages to help you prepare, visualize, and analyze data. Author Joseph Adler illustrates each process with a wealth of examples from medicine, business, and sports.
Updated for R 2.14 and 2.15, this second edition includes new and expanded chapters on R performance, the ggplot2 data visualization package, and parallel R computing with Hadoop.
Joseph Adler has many years of experience in data mining and data analysis at companies including DoubleClick, American Express, and VeriSign. He graduated from MIT with an Sc.B and M.Eng in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering from MIT. He is the inventor of several patents for computer security and cryptography, and the author of Baseball Hacks. Currently, he is a senior data scientist at LinkedIn.
View Joseph Adler's full profile page.
The animal on the cover of R in a Nutshell is a harpy eagle (Harpia harpyja). Black feathers line the top half of the bird, while white feathers mostly make up the balance, although the underside of its wings may be striped black and white. Unlike other species of birds, male and female harpy eagles appear virtually identical. These eagles—the most powerful, carnivorous raptors in theAmericas—typically inhabit tropical rain forests. They prey upon animalsthat live in trees: sloths, monkeys, opossums, and even other birds, suchas macaws. The eagle is named after the harpies of ancient Greek mythology,female wind spirits who were said to be human from the chest to theirankles and eagle from the neck up. Mythological harpies tormented peopleas they carried them to the underworld with their clawed feet; perhapssimilarly, harpy eagles' talons violently pierce and subdue their preybefore the eagles carry them back to their nests. Harpy eagles also inspire modern-day life: the eagle is the nationalbird of Panama and is pictured on the country's coat of arms. The birdalso inspired the design of Fawkes the Phoenix in the Harry Potter filmseries. The cover image is from Cassell's NaturalHistory.

A broad survey that every user of R should have
By Paul M.
from Germany
About Me Data Analyst, Educator, Project manager, Researcher
This book combines a review of the R language together with a variety of examples that can often be transferred to use in other contexts.While R packages created in the R community are growing continuously, and thus cannot be included in a book like this, it provides easy and rapid access to many examples of the use of R, facilitating rapid data analysis.In combination with online data sources this is a book (or eBook) that a data scientist/analyst/statistician using R should have access to.
Disappointment Compared to Other O'Reilly Titles
By Pat
from Colorado Springs
About Me Designer
I bought this book as a reference to quickly figure out how to accomplish basic R tasks. I find the online R documentation to be very dense and hard to use. O'Reilly has been my go-to solution in other cases like this ... for example Python.If you don't know the command to use, it is difficult to find it. Even if you do know the command to use, the descriptions on use are very poor. After the first few chapters I have found the descriptions to be almost impossible to use. Most of the function inputs are not described. The examples are not clarifying. I have resorted back to just Googling my questions.I stuck with the book for about 2 weeks hoping as I learned its organization it would become useful. It did not.The R Cookbook looks promising. I plan on buying that tonight. I can see in the index that is addressing many of the specific questions I have been having.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Just what I was looking for
By Saskcan
from Madrid, Spain
About Me Developer
I wanted to learn R after taking an online course in portfolio theory. This book has an excellent example showing how to parse data from Yahoo! finance which fit my needs perfectly. Besides that point, the book provides many useful examples and is rich in detail to really explain what is going on beneath the surface. I picked the ebook up at a discount and can't find anything to complain about. Great as a reference or a learning companion. One very minor drawback is some slight inconsistencies in the R programming style (spaces, etc) but they have absolutely no effect on either the reading or the coded examples.

Book review: R in a Nutshell
By Paras
from Atlanta
Book Review: R in a NutshellR is a popular tool among data scientists because it's just like a Swiss Army knife (or may be more!) for them! Analogy credit: Tapping the Data Deluge with R by Jeffrey Breen (Presentation URL: http://www.slideshare.net/jeffreybreen/tapping-the-data-deluge-with-r)Sometime back I worked on a research project that involved writing some R code – we were searching for tools ways to pull data from multiple social networks, perform text analysis and create effective data visualizations. R seemed like a great tool & so I was searching for a book/guides that teaches me fundamentals I needed to know to get few R related things done. One of the books that I used frequently during the research project was "R in nutshell". I didn't read it cover-to-cover but it was a great reference book for me. I used to read guides online/other-books and then I used to combine information from this book to get stuff done. The section I liked the most was on Data visualization which included some great code snippets to create effective data visualization using ggplot2 library. I used to take code snippets from this book & apply it on data-sets that I had. Fun stuff! Also, I liked it that the book has some end-to-end examples that cover the entire lifecycle of data analysis/statistical-analysis. Summary:I recommend this book as a "reference" for someone who started working with R. Note: I received a copy of this book as part of OREILLY's Blogger program. Thanks OREILLY! If you are a blogger, you should check out that program!
Great way to get acquainted with R
By Roy
from Cary, NC
Being a reference book, I haven't read it cover-to-cover, but after working through the first few parts and several of the later chapters, I can say that the book does a great job of getting you up to speed on how to read the R language, how R organizes and works with datasets, and how to perform analyses and generate visuals.I should caution upfront that this book is specifically about how to operate R, and not about statistics in general. R will dutifully carry out the calculations asked of it, but the operator still needs to know which calculations are appropriate for the data and goals at hand.That said, R in a Nutshell is well-organized for first-time users of R. The book starts with an overview of the R syntax, data frames, and functions, then moves to the logistics of getting data into and out of R. Often another language will be used to format and prepare the data for analysis (to get an idea of how that process works, O'Reilly's Exploring Everyday Things with R and Ruby is a good place to start).There's also an entire section dedicated to one of R's specialties, data visualization! The book covers the built-in visualization tools, as well as popular ggplot2 package. Creating compelling visuals is easily one of the most exciting things about R, so it's good to see this thoroughly covered. Finally, the book has many chapters covering the various statistics and analyses R can perform.In short, it's easy to recommend R in a Nutshell. R is by far the most popular free statistics package, but its command-line format can lead to lots of web searches to track down documentation. This book organizes a lot of that basic information and presents it well, so it is sure to be a big time saver for anyone who is new to R or would just like an easily-searchable reference.Note: I received this book through the O'Reilly Blogger Review Program.

Decent introduction to R
By mko
from Poland
I have bought R in a Nutshell some time ago (1-st edition) and I was pleased with it. It is very decent introduction to R. I am using R casually for doing server logs analysis, mostly. And from my point of view, a person who doesn't speak R fluently, this book is very handy. I have requested 2-nd edition mostly from the mere curiosity. I wanted to know how book have changed.You will find few minor shifts here, some chapters were moved and some of them were split or merged. However, the content remained quality remained at the same level. Book covers most recent release of R (at least when it comes to Mac OS, I can't tell for the other systems). There are few new things I have learned. RStudio and ggplot2 are among them. As I said, I don't follow all the recent news in the "R world" thus, reading about these two was a big surprise for me and big plus for my simple tasks done with R.I would recommend this book for R newbies. If you have never ever worked with R but looking to start your journey with it this is a good start. Contrary, if you have already done some stuff with R and you are looking for straightforward solutions I'd suggest heading towards R Cookbook. Anyway, I think this book is a really decent introduction to R.
Good reference on R Programming
By Jaype
from Kenosha WI
About Me Database Administrator
I'm new to statistical modeling and R programming but I found this book to be a good place to learn R. I'll be using it more as I learn more about statistics. It's well written with easy to follow examples. Since I'm just learning R the chapters on syntax and expressions and the large appendix on R functions are the most helpful to me. The data visualization chapters are the interesting but I'm not quite ready for that yet. This is a good book if you want a reference for R.
More than a "quick" reference book.
By produke
from madrid, spain
'R in a Nutshell' is suppose to be a reference book but is more than that! The author, J. Adler, with this second edition, refresh the first one with Hadoop ecosystem and how it integrates well with R. R in a Nutshell allows you to get working immediately. Full of example and guidelines. A 700 pages reference book for coding and learning this statistician language for parsing and visualizing data. There are a lot of information on where getting the data and how tackle the visualization, important part for decoding and analysing many data of multidimensional space. I recommended to everyone who have intereste in learning R, discovering new BigData related feature with Hadoop and as a reference book for more advance users.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|All true just like 35 window said.I still have trouble getting the money part out of the way,and I cant tell you how many people tried to store a car for free thinking I'll never get around to it.It takes years of experiance just to run a business and thats after you've learned the trade
For me (and I don't do Car Repair at Home but I do run a Business (I'm over 2 Locations) that does Sales/Service/Parts on Heavy Equipment-John Deere Ag and Construction), I will suggest a couple of things that I run into with Service a lot-
1. Know the Laws in your State regarding Liens (Mechanic's and otherwise)-in my State, you must file a Lien within 30 Days of the last day of Labor you performed-
2. Get 1/2 (or more) up front! A lot of people are just looking for free Storage, or have intentions of paying, but life gets in the way. I have seen so many of my Customers' in the last Year go down because they did it on Credit or on Account-don't do it!
3. Talk about the money before you do the work-I realize that I said something like this in #2, and people are always hesitant to talk about it, but ask! If you are doing a Hot Rod (that isn't primary transportation), have they saved the money to pay you? Do they have a plan or know how they are going to pay you? Talk about it-this is the hardest part for most people.
And, as pointed out earlier, if you are doing this as a Hobby and start doing it for money, it can (or will) take the fun out of it. I used to be a die hard ATV/JetSki/Motorcyclist until I ran a Business doing it-it took over 10 Years to get enthused about it again after wards-
There are so many other things-who is going to pay if the Car gets stolen while in your possession? Are you buying the Parts and then making a profit? (you should). Do you have a place to store it? On and on-
Remember, this is a Business-if you want friends do not charge for the work-
|As soon as you get money involved everything changes.The best advice I can give you is if you really like working on cars as a hobbie keep it that way,as a hobbie.You and your friend should buy a car and fix it up then sell it.Be your own customer and enjoy the work.I almost ruined a great hobbie working with wood. When people saw what I could do they all started throwing money at me then thought they could call me every day and complain about the time it took,so I just gave them their money back and called them when I finished .After that I only built things for me and my grand kids and never involved money with a hobbie again.Cars are my business,cars are cool, the people that own them are not so cool,all you have to do is read some of the differnt threads on this site and you'll see what I mean,you'll need thick skin dealing with these people.Have fun with it ,mabee buy and sell parts on ebay for cash
It was just said. "Friends and relatives will be your worst customers"
All the info above is pretty good.
I do an Excell spread sheet outlining exactly what I will do and what will not be done. You can't get everything but as you go communication is the answer. The more detail the better. Most customers really like this. when we are done we can check off the items and agree the project is done as decribed.
I keep additional pages for labor and parts purchases as well as payments and other notes.
I kinda like seeing the occasional "oldie" dug up. Especially one this good. As I used to say, "Quit Learning, Quit Living." Definately no need to feel retarded.
In a while, Chet.
Part-time customizers need advice
I agree with many here, NEVER do a car for a close friend or relative... AND never ever sell a used car to a friend or relative, no matter how great that car is,..... I do a fair amount of work for spare $$$, I keep it simple @ brakes, timing belts, CV....no body work just mechanical...The shop in town is $95 a hour, I charge 20 hr. I keep it simple, no hurry, one at a time, never get ahead of yourself...
|chet..i noticed that after i posted last night and i have learned to look for the date of the OP. i see old threads posted regularly. i guess that one slipped by me, i felt retarded!!!...
Tons of great (alright, downright excellent) advice is being offered here. However, the OP has not even been active as a signed-in member in just over a year. I hope he has learned enough to be successful. Even so, that does not mean that the advice should stop. Please keep it coming.
In a while, Chet.
|Twisted Minis
Okay, what kind of work do you want to do? It seems like everyone is addressing paint, or repair work. Is that what you want to do?
I do chassis building and modification full time now. I started out doing it after hours, then part time, then I got busy enough to quit my day job and make a comfortable enough living out of the garage. I'm still growing quite rapidly, and I keep buying more and more tools. Eventually I will be moving into a larger industrial shop since I am running out of room fast here. The only advertising I ever did, was word of mouth, some professional business cards, and posting pictures of my work on the internet. Nothing else. It started out slow, but quickly grew. I didn't really plan on it, but once it started moving I started adjusting for it.
Start small and build by word of mouth. Take in work one at a time! Finish it to a standard you can be proud of, and ship it. DON'T take in work just to fill the shop! Stick to what you know best and build slowly. Too many guys go nuts and get too far in debt/overworked the day they open the door, and have to rush work to get $ flow going. Leads to lower quality, less work in the long run. You can work out of your house IF the word of your customers is strong enough. Push the advantages of your shop to doubters..like lower cost due to overhead, better security (24/7!) and a 1 on 1 relationship to get the customer EXACTLY what he/she wants. KEEP BOOKS. Too many guys try to run shops out of their pocket...BAD IDEA. Keep receipts, notate your margins and be sure you are making worthwhile money. Design/buy receipts for customers and yourself. I liked to use Quicken Retail when I had a small shop (now I am all uppity and have a home grown system and a CPA ). You can have fun and make money...just be careful!
OH! And build a GOOD relationship with a good parts house! They can make you or break you!
i don't want to discourage you or be the wet blanket in this thread, you are right where i was at 20. these guys have all brought up great points and advice, but i think i should point out some of the pitfalls. i followed the same plan you are contemplating and it worked out great for me. i was even able to retire early but had to work my buns off for years to do it. you are jumping the gun by 3-4 years. you need some real world experience before you start. i was lucky, i started in the days when cars wouldn't 5000 miles without needing repairs.
starting out, you are going to attract the cheaper costumers who are looking to save a buck.
you are going to have to cover overhead (rent, utilities, etc) from your repairs before one dime is yours.
you are going to need tools and equipment to complete any job you take on in a timely fashion (that is NOT like working on your own car in your parents driveway/garage)
you need the experience of being able to diagnose a problem QUICKLY! and CORRECTLY!!!--customers are not going to like you throwing parts at a problem until you find the right one. you need to give an estimate in time and labor before you start and it has to fix the car. you can't say "sorry, i thought that would fix the problem"
you have to have the experience to know exactly all the parts you will need to do every job and include them in the estamate before you start.
do you have flat rate books for every job you will do??? you will need these too.
to make any money you need enough experience to beat flat rate, can you do that, not even close if you haven't worked in a shop for a few years.
any job you even make the smallest mistake on you will be doing over for free--on your own dime $$$ so to speak.
do you have people skills?? you will be dealing with people who don't know squat about cars, i wish i had a dollar for every costumer who said "you did a tune up on my car 3 months ago and the brakes started to squeak last week, you must have done somthing wrong!!!"
customers are not going to like to hear "i charge X$$ an hour (unless you are doing custom work and have experience--known as "by the hour") they are going to want to hear "it will cost $574.83 to fix your car" and any cost overruns will be on you.
out here in Cal. the law is you have to give a written estimate before work starts and you cannot exceed that estimate without costumer approval.
unless you are just working on a couple of your buddies cars where the slip you a 10 spot under the table, you are going to need paperwork no matter how small you are. business license, franchise tax board reg. # , BAR registration, taxpayer ID number, employer ID # for when you hire a helper, etc.
there are a thousand other things a can't even remember, if you have the passion to live and breath cars for years to come you might make it.
i'm not trying to discourage you, heck, go for it. i just think you have not thought this through thoroughly and are jumping the gun a little. put a game plan together that makes sense and follow it.
you will make mistakes (no one is perfect) and the ones that will teach you the most are the ones that cost the most $$$, and it WILL happen.
PS: now that i have retired, i am financally independent, go out in the garage and restore the cars i have collected over my journey through life, one peice at a time to concourse condition. don't have to worry about flat rate. take the harley out for a cruise when the weather is good. living in nor-cal and enjoying my life is about as good as it gets. i hope your journey through life is as good as mine is--remember, do what you love, i have loved cars since i was a kid (OH, and also, i like having fun with all the great peeps on "hotrodders.com" and giving out advice on things i know about) good luck to you, it will work out if you have the passion.
|Everybody here has great advice! I do this, i am in the Air Force, so i do it part time, i get to enjoy my hobby with other peoples money. What i do is get half the money upfront to cover materiels and such, then the other half upon completion, that way you are at least protected from eating the materiel money if someone is not happy. RacerJ
I actually started working on cars when I was in about 2nd or 3rd grade, with my uncle. He taught me how engines worked by taking apart a lawnmower engine and explaining every part of it, and their purpose. He would pick me up and set me in the engine compartment to replace spark plugs and such. When in school, I took all of the auto shop classes that were available. I then worked with a friend that was a body tech, and mechanic at a local dealership. He spent alot of time teaching me how things are done and why they are done that way. We then went to work in a body shop, as the guy we did most of our work for decided that he could get us to work cheaper if he owned the shop.
From that point, I was in the military, worked at many shops, off and on, over the last 30+ years, doing mechanical and body work, and worked at home. I have taken advantage of every job I have had, by learning from everyone that I have worked with. I learned to watch everyone, and how they did things. There are always more than one way to do something, and someways are obviously better than others. You will learn that some people just like to cut corners, and still end up taking longer to accomplish the job. Some people will do it right and take less time because they only have to do something one time.
I always referr to the cars that I work on a "my car" for a reason. I work on them as if they are "mine". I don't believe in doing something to a car that I wouldn't do to my own.
Keep in mind that everyone has a lot to learn. You can pick apples for 30 years, and still not know everything there is to know about picking apples. Cars are constantly changing, as is the technology to repair them. You should always be open to learn new things. I always like to question newbys that are straight out of tech school. I find out alot of new stuff that is being taught. Many times they are not learning the "old school" ways of doing things, that they need to know, but are learning somethings that are an improvement.

WASHINGTON - Senior attacker Jordy Kirr (Baltimore, Md./Bryn Mawr School) had a big day scoring two goals and posting four assists as the Georgetown University women's lacrosse squad downed the University of Louisville Cardinals (8-4, 1-2 BIG EAST), 19-12, Sunday afternoon at Multi-Sport Field. The Blue & Gray improved to 6-5 overall and a perfect 4-0 in BIG EAST play.
Kirr's four helpers gave her 101 career assists which broke the program record of 98 previously held by Sheehan Stanwick and set in 2001. Coupled with her 109 career goals, Kirr is now the first player in Georgetown history to have 100 goals and 100 assists in their career.
"I'm so excited for Jordy, she's worked incredibly hard to get here," said Georgetown Head Coach Ricky Fried. "Although these are individual milestones, holding the assist record shows what an unselfish player she is and her 100 goals show how much she means to our team. Jordy should be very proud of what she has accomplished."
Kirr and the Hoyas started the scoring early as Georgetown opened the game with a 6-1 run including two Kirr assists to break the record. Louisville countered at 11:27, but the Hoyas had an answer as Kirr assisted on sophomore Sophia Thomas' (Lutherville, Md./Maryvale Prep) third score of the afternoon. The pair combined for three goals in the first half.
The Cardinals had one more goal at 9:29, but Kirr continued to exploit the Louisville defense finding the back of the cage twice in the closing minutes to make it 9-3 at the break.
The squads traded goals for the first 15 minutes of the second half as the Cards tried to dig themselves out of the hole. A score from senior Jacqueline Giles (Ellicott City, Md./Mount Hebron) on the assist from Thomas gave the Hoyas the eight-goal lead, 15-7, but Louisville had an answer rattling off three scores to pull within five.
Sophomore Kelsi Bozel (Hunt Valley, Md./Notre Dame Prep) scored with the assist from senior Mary Wittelsberger (Parkton, Md./Hereford) to stop the run, but the Cardinals had two more goals in them before the end of the game to keep it close. Georgetown managed three scores in the final eight minutes to hold the Cardinals at bay making the final 19-12.
GU outshot UofL, 39-23, and had 12 ground balls to Louisville's nine. The Cardinals held an advantage in draw controls, 19-13, but turned the ball over 16 times as Georgetown's ride continued to be effective.
Thomas led the Hoyas with seven points on five goals and two assists and Kirr notched six points on two goals and four assists. Senior Mary Beth Brophy (Berwyn, Pa./Archbishop Carroll) added three goals as 10 different players tallied a point and seven had multiple goals for the Blue & Gray.
Georgetown will be back in action on Saturday as the Hoyas host No. 13 Syracuse at Multi-Sport Field to cap off the four-game home stand. The opening draw is scheduled for noon and the game will be televised live on CBS College Sports. Live stats and an audio-only broadcast will be available at www.GUHoyas.com.�

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by doublead, Aug 26, 2007.
You would not have a lot of nickels
Someone needs to start a Rodney White Tracker thread. He is clearly the MJ of the Chinese league.
Need4Sheed.com Detroit Pistons Videos Rodney Stuckey loses his shorts on court
Don't forget, Stuckey had an extra year of college left so he's young but over the next few years he will be one of the best players the Pistons have had on thier roster over the past 10 years.
Stuckey played two years in college, I think. He'll be 22 in April. He made a huge impact in the 4th quarter tonight in Toronto, pretty reminiscent of what Lindsey did to the Celtics early in the 4th of that game in Boston. Steals, pushing the tempo on offense, making things happen all over. He had 6 assists in just 18 minutes. In particular, he was working a great connection with JMax, multiple passes for dunks or fouls around the rim.
If he'll be Lindsey with all the offensive game that we're hoping for, Pistons got themselves an all-star in making.
As I recall: He played 2 years of JC ball He played 2 years of university ball All told he played 4 years of college ball.
Whatever he played, the dude is for real. Cudos to Joe D for the homework on the kid.
He sat out the 2004-2005 season as academically ineligible. Then he played two years. Here's his Rivals page from 2004 Rodney Stuckey - Basketball Recruiting
One thing is for sure, he is a smart man. He knows he's got a guy in Maxiell who is gonna hang around the rim, to reap the benefits of his penetration. As their chemistry improves, those two are going to be deadly on the pick and roll. He is so much better than Lindsey/Flip already, it's not even funny. His D is getting better and better, and his ability to grab steals is extremely impressive. He's got 12 steals in his last 6 games. Plus he is running the offense very well already. The only real negatives at the moment are the occasional rookie turnovers (he's a lot like Wade in that way as well), and sometimes he is too passive looking for his own offense. These are both things that I expect will only improve with time. It's going to be a blast watching this guy grow as a Piston.
The biggest improvement I have seen from his first games to now is the reduction of the on-the-ball fouls. Instead of committing early fouls, he is learning what kinds of contact he can make with the ball carrier. I'm certain Lindsay has helped in this area, as well as simply playing with NBA caliber players. As a result, he is playing extremely better with dribble/shot defense, coming up with more steals, and committing less fouls.
he is a quick learner. he's not getting fouls when opposing guards are bringing the ball up the court (letting them initiate contact). last night he didn't pick up his dribble. he started dishing to maxiell when driving in the lane and a layup wasn't guaranteed. that's 2 games in a row that we went on a big 4th quarter run when he entered the game. then remember his impact at the end of the 3rd quarter in that other game (i forgot against who lol). he's having a positive impact.
Those are valid points. If I may add. When he first started playing, as he said, his legs were heavy. Since you play defense first and foremost with your feet/legs, having heavy legs can negatively affect your defense.
Stuckey is really agressive to the whole which is very good...although that could be a concern for injury. otherwise he can dribble and ppass well. his perimeter D is excellento...but his jumshot needs to improve...it will as he goes along though. Stucckey has a lot of potential to ba Dwayne Wade (that doesent travel,doesent whine, doesent suck at shooting, doesent have huge lips)
It seems to me that with all due respect and I mean that sincerely that comment about a part of Wade's anatomy was totally out of line and in very poor taste.
I concur.
stuckey should have played a lil more but he still played well 13 minutes 6 points 3 rebounds 1 steal 0 astists 1 to
Flip needs to loosen the reigns on him. At the moment Flip's calling for a bunch of flex offense plays. But with the bench in the game, it doesn't work. Getting into some Max/Stuckey pick and rolls early in the shot clock will clean up a lot of the stagnant offense. The Flex offense is just too slow for the Zoo Crew, and relies on getting shots very late in the shot clock. With Stuckey's speed and playmaking ability he should be attacking very early in the possession instead of just tossing the ball around the perimeter a couple times to waste shot clock. This is when he starts making rookie mistakes. No one gets open, and he has to scramble to try to make a play at the last minute. That's when the TOs come.
You my friend are very astute in this regard. You could tell he was doing too much thinking on the court and not enough hoopin. Funny, Chuancey and SHeed run the worse pick and roll game I've ever seen because they can NEVER get into the paint. Stuckey and Maxiel would run a FAR BETTER pick and roll game resulting in pts in the paint, yet.........?????? We never see it......

AMES, Iowa — Manufacturers are becoming increasingly attuned to the importance of having a strong safety culture: the value and priority companies place on safety. Maintaining a strong safety culture not only helps companies prevent accidents and avoid the costs of work-related injuries, but it can also lead to reduced insurance premiums and out-of-pocket deductibles as well as improved morale.
The Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Center for Industrial Research and Service assists companies in the area of safety in a variety of ways, said CIRAS project manager Jim Poe. These range from sending a team to conduct a safety assessment of the entire operation to addressing specific concerns such as testing air quality or noise levels to helping a company understand Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards and requirements.
Jerry Hultgren, environmental health and safety coordinator at MAHLE Engine Components in Atlantic, knows that a strong safety culture requires a team effort.
"It's a matter of getting everyone — production workers, supervisors and the management team — involved and holding them accountable for safety," Hultgren said. "Our goal is to make sure everyone leaves work safe, and that means providing the tools, education and knowledge to perform jobs safely and to insure that the workplace environment is safe. Sometimes people want to make excuses, saying 'it will take longer that way.' But there is no excuse; if it takes more time, that's what it takes."
Although the facility's safety team conducts monthly safety audits, Hultgren recently sought CIRAS' assistance to conduct a safety walk-through to see if there were issues and concerns that his team was missing. MAHLE, which manufactures components for combustion engines, has 100 production plants and eight research and development centers worldwide.
The plant in Atlantic is 113,000 square feet and has close to 1,000 different pieces of equipment and 255 employees. "With this much machinery, we have many different aspects to look at," Hultgren said. "CIRAS offered the opportunity to bring in a different set of eyes to help us find areas where safety could be improved."
The CIRAS team, partnering with the Iowa-Illinois Safety Council, conducted the half-day assessment. During the walk-through, they looked at such things as machine guarding, lock-out mechanisms on machinery, protective gear for employees, proper chemical labeling and housekeeping. A report containing descriptions and photos was then compiled and sent to Hultgren.
"The photos gave us a visual look at areas of concern, and OSHA regulations were referenced in the report, so if we had questions we could easily go and look more in depth at the actual OSHA regulation for that particular item," Hultgren said. "The entire experience has been really helpful."
For more information about how CIRAS can assist companies with safety, contact Jim Poe at 515-294-1507 or email@example.com.

'"Max is doing a lot better," the Sabres' coach said. "He's had three good days of skating on his own. Participated at I would say 85 percent level [Sunday]. Didn't want him to go all out, but you could see he was skating well. The plan is the next few days get him in a full practice and try to get him to full speed. I would think that the way things are progressing, he's one or two good practices from playing."'

I was able to successfully install BT5-gnome-64bit on my MBP 8,2. I did not use Refit or anything other than the BT iso burned to disc. I also received the pictured rainbow screen when trying the standard boot option. To fix I edited (press Tab) the Backtrack Debug/Safe Mode boot option and added "nomodeset" to the end of the param list.
Issues I have with BT5 on MBP 8,2:
-onboard wireless does not work. I had the same problem as upc0d3 when trying to build the Broadcom drivers (see thread: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...utoconf-h.html). USB wireless works great!
-touchpad is basic function only. No touch click. No multi-touch gestures. No right-click functionality. Ubuntu 11 has excellent multi-touch support, but I don't know how to add this into BT5.
-sound doesn't seem to work. Haven't even looked into it.

This was a huge project for me ! By the time I acquired all my resources i had less then three days to fully complete the suit!
Here is where the madness started,
i have always been a HUGE comic book fan, I was just a little girl when batman returns came out , but in my opinion it was probably the last cool thing Tim Burton had graced us with, haha i was fascinated with his vision of Catwoman , i never really thought my face was built right for that mask in particular so , I experimented with some regular eyeshadow and junk makeup. Yep , laugh go ahead
The more i looked at the make up job , the more i wanted to make a suit
so i did!
first i got a mask.
interesting thing about this mask is , i had to hide my hair in it , my hair is past my tailbone. yep , that was a project on its own . After securing my hair to my head, I had sewn bra clasp like clamps to the slit down the back of the mask to seal it off completely once it was on
Now i needed my suit ,
this was a rough patch , my suit came EXTREMELY late
and then all the customization (video i had made for the hunters lair)
YouTube - makin a catwoman costume kinda sideways...
and done!
haha i made that prawn costume in between making my own, and the guy dressed as a prisoner , well he asked me to make him into a zombie prisoner so i was like ..absolutely ,we were on a train to the city so i put womans makeup on him and then i was like turn around i gotta put blood on you , and i dumped stage blood on his butt , im sure you guys can figure out what i made him into LOL

+1...Thanks for sharing this!
Range had an accident recently. A retired police officer took his Sunday school class to the range to learn how to handle a handgun safely. A young man brought an older Beretta .380 that his grandfather had brought back from WWII the story goes. Once the "instructor" cleared the weapon and checked the magazine for spring travel and tension and then loaded the mag with some modern .380 ball ammo. So far so good. Keep in mind this is a good guy with good intentions. Regular range user and shoots personal Glock 22 well and safely. Seems an old steel Beretta travelling back from Europe via troopship in a duffelbag has a tendency to rust. In this case the firing pin was frozen in the protruded position. Never checked the breech face. Old habit of those used to dealing with open bolt weapons worth heeding. With the young man and his female companion standing next to him in the lane booth he inserted the mag in the weapon and the slide slammed shut firing the round then it continued to fire the remaining 4 rounds as only 5 were loaded in the mag. Unfortunately he had his off hand's ring finger in the proximity of the muzzle. Long story short he lost the finger from the last joint out. Impact dead center of the joint, severing the end of the finger. This resulted in a very scared young couple, a range incident that resulted in an insurance report as well and a well meaning person having a personal injury that was thankfully minor relative to the potential. We are all thankful that the injury was the only one that occurred. Moral: Always keep the weapon pointed in a safe direction and always point a loaded weapon downrange. Lets have a safe year and do all we can to minimize opportunities for this kind of accident.
+1...Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks for sharing....and I definitely conquer with your sentiments at the end of your post. Glad it turned out so.......um......."well" Sounds like it could have been a real disaster with a lot worse injuries then the ones sustained.
Everyone be careful, be safe, and be aware. And enjoy our great sport and privledge.

The government of President Msusharraf indicated it supported postponement of the scheduled election next week until February in the aftermath of Benazir Bhutto's assassination. However, leaders of her Pakistan Peoples Party insisted they wanted an immediate election and opposed any delay. Shah Mahmood Qureshi speaking for the PPP said: "We are ready for elections and we do not want a delay. We demand elections be held on January 8th." His demand was supported by Buhtto ally, Nawaz Shariff, who also wants to proceed with an election. Shariff also noted armored cars are provided federal officials for protection, but none are made available to opposition candidates. Many foreign observers believe Musharraf is trying to delay the election because he fears there is a massive "sympathy vote" ready to be cast for PPP candidates.
The Musharraf government indicated it was opposed to any investigation of the Bhutto killing that involved foreign observers. Acting Prime Minister Soomro, bluntly stated: "We are a sovereign country, and we have the expertise to investigate." No one denies that Pakistan can conduct investigations. The problem is who is doing the investigating and exactly what are they seeking to investigate. The absence of foreign involvement will result in failure to believe conclusions, not merely by the rest of the world, but by the people of Pakistan.

Miller on verge of leaving MSU
'Rick Comley, beginning his first season as MSU coach, said he has not been informed of a final decision, but doesn't expect Miller to be with the Spartans this season. "As far as I know, nothing has changed. And as I've said all along, I think he's close to leaving,'' Comley said. "But until he announces it … He hasn't told me with 100 percent certainty. I would think that by the end of the week or weekend, that everything will be in place."'
Serious candidate or vain billionaire?
'Wednesday, Golisano met for an hour and 45 minutes with developer Carl Paladino, former Sabres President Larry Quinn and three attorneys from a Rochester law firm, including G. Steven Pigeon, the Erie County Democratic Party chairman. The meeting focused on the Sabres' financial situation, the issues surrounding HSBC Arena, Canadian television, and the competitiveness and operation of the franchise.'

|Topic Review (Newest First)
i put wrong number excuse me
3991492. Another good performance head. They were found on 1970 LT-1 engines. They had 2.02/1.60" valves, 64CC combustion chambers, DO have accessory holes, intake port volume should be 161CC's, exhaust port volume should be 62CC's. These heads have double hump casting marks. This particular casting head was also available as an "over the counter" head from GM in straight or angle plug configurations.
it would be those. 2nd off its a gm over the counter cam, nothing special. Im not trying to make it any better than it already was in the early 70's.
I know I have tons to learn thats why im not trying to mix and match stuff now. Im goin with a something that has already worked b4, and all i wanted to know was what carb to go with. and i was a bit off on the rpm, 290hp claimed at 5800rpm
thx for the advice though ,i will pick up one of those books
Honestly, I`ll tell you what I think. I think you got a lot to learn as far as hot rodding goes, you need to invest much much time (a year at the least) into reading books such as "how to hot rod the small block chevrolet" or "Max Chevy Performance" your engine idea is not a very realistic one, I don`t know where you heard the 302 made it`s power over 7500 RPM, if that had been the case from the factory the car would have never been streetable. 302`s are not low end torque engines, and to run a cam that will rev over 7500 RPM and stay together will require a very heavy duty valve train, and I`m talking good stuff, such as valves, springs, guide plates, rocker arms, heat treated push rods, hardened locks and retainers, your not gonna take a stock set of heads and bolt them on and expect to rev it to hell and it stay together, valve train dictates with a iron hand how high a engine will rev, and at that RPM you have to have a bottom end that will take revs that high and hold together, stock rods aren`t gonna cut it. 12:1 compression,, lets see, that says right away it won`t be streetable, unless you plan on running 108 octane race fuel, it`s not gonna run on pump gas from the nearest gas station without detonating itself to death in a very short order, if you don`t believe what detonation can do, the late Smokey Yunick said "detonation has destroyed more engines than I could ever count, if I had a nickel for every engine that blew from detonation i could buy a small country and retire"
462 heads did not come on LT-1`s, there last production year was 1967 and they came exclusively on 327`s.
to run the car with that kind of RPM you must be planning on running 4.88:1 gears, that`s the only way the car will have any low end power, high rev engines have to make up for there lack of torque with low gears.
Not trying to be nasty, but hot rodding is not something you learn over night from old stories on what cars in the 60`s did, technology has advanced a hell of a long way since then, and I think many stories from then get greatly exaggerated over time from one person to the next. I`m only being honest and telling you this because no one should jump into any project with goals like you have and not know how to get there, if you go on to build this engine the way you want it to run your gonna make a lot of junk pieces getting there, you can`t sneak up the horsepower ladder in little stages, either you stay with stuff that can handle the power the engine makes, or you do it right the first time and spend the money needed to make a engine perform this way the first time and you`ll be money ahead, blocks, cranks, rods, and etc get expensive over time after you end up replacing them due to blown engines from trying to sneak up the ladder. Engines either do 2 things, either they make power down low, or up high, there isn`t a engine that will make both, and I`d rather have a engine that makes lots of low end torque than have one that revs to hell. Bob Glidden won all the championships he did from Torque, if you go back and watch and listen to his car running back in the day, the exhaust note is clearly different from all the rest, he didn`t have to rev it to death to win. torque is what you feel, it`s what pushes you back in the seat, it`s what moves all that sheetmetal around, not horsepower. engines that make power in the low RPM band last a lot longer, high revvers wear parts out quickly from continued high RPM flights. so there you have it, that`s pretty much the basic start on how things work, read up and learn more, then build your project, you`ll be happier you did and so will your wallet.
The cam is just a 69 302 offroad cam that was purchased when the crate engine was. The specs for the cam are here http://www.holisticpage.com/camaro/parts/cam.htm
last one on the page. Lifters are just the stock solid pieces.
The heads are 426 double humps from a 70 Lt-1. Intake and exhaust valves are slightly larger than stock I have been told.
Im thinkin the 750hp from holley would be a good choice? with the extra info what do ya guys think?
|78 monte
Allthough they do make good wheel chucks in a pinch.
|I`m in agreements with 1BAD80, not enough info here. Although, I could say much more, I`m not gonna, I would rather wait to see how this turns out. another one tryin to sneak up the horsepower ladder. best of luck,,, your gonna need it.
[QUOTE]Originally posted by FiefSS
[B]its gonna have to pull over 7500rpm since thats where its power is made. Intake classic edelbrock tarantula a winner for a 302.
Can you Please tell me what cam you have?
With a stock bottom end, and AT OVER 7500, double hump heads trimmed so compression is around 12-1 to 12.5-1.
This is one great motor, how much HP do you think it will make?
|Q-jet all the way!!!!
its gonna have to pull over 7500rpm since thats where its power is made. My dad has had plenty of carbs on it from old 450cfm 2 barrels to a 800 something 750 seemed to be the best so we are gonna stick with that. Even if the carb has been sitting for like 18 years and even when it was put away had a ton of miles If i were to rebuild it would it still be as good as new? And how do I clean this thing off? Its mighty dirty
well then my dad forgot to mention he didnt know what the carb was, and as it turns out its just a 585 so then i need new one i guess!
|Tech @ BG
You could go with either a 650 or 750 Mighty Demon on your combination (Both less expensive than an HP).
A 650 Would probably give you better acceleration, and drivability especially with the large exhaust system.
The 750 would pull harder if you turn the engine over 7500 RPM
|cobra 28
|If I were you I would go with the DEMON carb more smoother and better performance than the Holley would ever think of being. And unless you have over 400 hp I would go with their 650 size carburetor. TO many people think they need a 750 when they do not, plus there 650 is larger than the holley 650. Do not use the 750 Dominator not worth having on the street.
Go get a proform main body and clean and rebuild the 750 that you have, you will be out only around $120 or so for the main body and gaskets and will have a fresh carb that runs great. I have one on my 383 and love it.
I agree with 78 monte rebuild it, not hard to do if you follow the instructions.
Holly Rebuild and Adjustment Instructions
If you need any help while rebuilding please post the question.
|78 monte
Why not rebuild the old 750???Was it a double pumper??
Pretty much what ever you buy will need to be taylored to your motor anyway,so I would just(unless its shot)rebuild the existing carb using propperly matched power valves,then jet it and play with ecelerator pump cams.
If you do buy one I'd say just a 750 double pumper.I think the factory Z28s came with a 780 DP.
|the 750 dominator needs a special intake to work properley and 2-300 more than a normal 750. a demon carb would probly work well if the motors pretty stout, but again its expensive
|Its gotta be "streetable" in a sense but its not gonna run nice, just dont want to go overboard to the point it hurts the engine more than it helps

Feminism | Posted by Anna D on 02/3/2011
How To Be a High School Feminist
On our way to high school recently, I asked my friend, "Do you consider yourself a feminist?"
After a slight hesitation, she responded, "Well, I support women's rights and all, but I'm no bra burner."
Besides the fact that the bra-burning story is apocryphal, I was surprised by her answer. Is that what feminism meant to this smart girl?
As I've discovered what feminism means to me over the past couple years, I am repeatedly shocked by what others think of the movement. One highly accomplished woman I know declared that feminism was dead. Another scoffed when I said I was interested in attending a women's college. Why is there so much animosity toward such a simple, important ideal—that women deserve equal rights?
The answer …

how much would you pay for a barrel stub I may build mine to a 93 carbine?
Thanks guys but I already found one.
I know this is an old thread, and I am new here, but I have been reading the threads here for a while and this is about as close to finding the info I am looking for, so here goes nothing.
I am in the middle of a '33 build, have the kit completely demilled and the flat is bent. I am waiting to get together with my buddies who are also building HK's to weld and finish the rifles. I know building an other one is not out of my realm of ability.
I want a '53 pistol, not a "K", until I can get a tax stamp for it. I am considering popping for an other '33 kit while they are still available and reasonably priced, but I want to know what I am getting myself into with a '53 conversion before I do. I know I will need a '53 barrel, but I can't seem to find the info on what and how to modify the remaining parts from the kit. I am not opposed to spending money on things like a proper '53 cocking tube, but a '53 bolt group makes this build a bit to pricey for me.
In doing some searching over the last few days, I have found people saying that a '33 bolt group will work in a '53, but I am not sure how that would happen unless you cut the cocking support tube way down. If you can in fact do this, then all I should need for this conversion is a barrel, cocking tube, and hand guard, right?
Thank you for your time, I appreciate it.
Yeah thats how I did mine. It took some "inventing" with the cocking tube though. You will also need the correct locking piece. I have a thread on it in weapons guild.
Remember my old K? Didn't you tune it for will?
Yeah I think I did. Been awhile since Ive seen that
I just today finished my 51K,the paint's drying as we speak.The 53K is next.

Join us for a Transfer Student Open House.
Rama Gerig credits the Divine with developments big and small in her life; everything from an inexplicable healing; to breaking a cycle of poverty and no education; to the smooth experience of transferring to UST.
Hers is quite a story. In their wildest dreams, no one who knew Rama Gerig as a teenager in the late 1970s would have predicted that the high school dropout from a troubled and underprivileged family in Pasadena, Texas, would become an honor student at Lone Star College and a leader earning three academic scholarships to a private university.
Their surprise would be understandable. After Gerig's father left their lives as a convicted felon, her mother, with only a sixth-grade education, raised four children alone.
Gerig recalled, "We lived in a state of desperation and poverty."
In 1988 when she was 22 and the mother of a toddler, Gerig was diagnosed with severe multiple sclerosis (MS) and given a prognosis of death. Years later, the MS would vanish, but that was only after a lengthy period of serious physical hardship. Then, the situation for this woman who maintains that God has always been there for her began to slowly change for the better.
She found gainful employment and instilled the right values in her daughter, who not only finished high school but also graduated from Texas A&M University.
Seeing her daughter's success, Gerig gained confidence and a strong appreciation for education. She got her GED and enrolled in the Lone Star College System where she became an academic star.
Having earned a Jack Kent Cooke scholarship, a Phi Theta Kappa scholarship and UST's Monaghan Scholarship, Gerig accomplished what she formerly believed was scary and out of her reach: she transferred to UST.
"A private university seemed so unattainable, but the admissions process was just amazing," Gerig said. "They made me feel so welcome, and they knew me by name. And not just me—they knew all of the transfer students by name."
Every one of her credits transferred.
"It was seamless," she beamed.
Another fear had been that she would be just a number in giant classrooms packed with students.
"It's just the opposite. UST's ratio of students to professor is so low that the classroom experience is very personal," Gerig said.
She also found that exams require students to demonstrate that they can apply knowledge as opposed to repeating what was memorized.
"It was a bit of a struggle but I learned that I am prepared for this academic environment," Gerig said. "And I get the right help for my statistics class from UST's amazing tutoring department."
The plan by this self-described late bloomer is to get a bachelor's in psychology and then go for her master's in social work.
"My dream is to be in an area of social work where I can help children of incarcerated parents, so those kids don't fall through the cracks," Gerig said.

SCOTTSDALE, AZ -- Apriva reported a record $1.85 billion in wireless transactions processed through its point-of-sale gateway during the third quarter of 2011. This surpasses the $1.76 billion record it set in the previous quarter, and represents a 25% gain over the third quarter of 2010.
Apriva reported that its gateway handled approximately $5.14 billion in transactions during the first three quarters of 2011, a 27% increase over the same period in 2010.
Apriva president Paul Coppinger said the company's mobile payments, vending machine and core gateway services are performing well. He cited the growth of Apriva Vend cashless payments as a growth driver. Vending is a part of the company's channel expansion strategy, which he said is a major contributor to growth.
"The activity in the vending space has been solid," Coppinger said. "Every week, we see more vending operators implementing cashless vending than we had the previous week. It's a trend that is clearly gaining momentum. We fully expect our cashless vending business to continue to climb heading into 2012."
Apriva Vend incorporates system hardware and software, wireless connectivity, transaction and alarm reporting capabilities, and integration with leading payment processors and financial institutions.
Looking ahead, Coppinger said the company will introduce a new "wallet solution" in 2012.

More than 25 years ago, Kundan Sabarwal opened the doors of a modest 400-square-foot skincare spa in New Delhi, working diligently to gently and efficiently eradicate her clients' unwanted body hair through a blend of ancient techniques and modern indulgences. With a bit of hard-earned success, Ziba Beauty hopped the pond, eventually expanding to 17 locations in two U.S. states. Each studio embraces American style while retaining its overseas roots, amplifying faces and bodies with traditional Indian cosmetic adornment and hair removal. By rolling small loops of cotton thread over brows and other facial areas, threading specialists can remove pesky fuzz without harming the skin or skipping over fine hairs. For more sizeable zones, Sumita Wax, which was developed in India exclusively for Ziba Beauty, quickly sends errant hairs packing on the face and body. Artistic hands ink bodies with the ornate semipermanent designs of traditional mehndi, or cloak clients in sparkle with intricate art in a choice of 32 glitter mehndi colors and shimmering crystals, readying skin for special events better than a full-body tuxedo tattoo.

CAMPAIGN 2014: McCord launches attack ad on TV
HARRISBURG (AP) — The tone of the Democratic gubernatorial campaign is changing quickly.
Candidate Rob McCord began airing the first statewide TV attack ad Wednesday. He criticizes other candidates over their stances on taxing Pennsylvania's natural gas drilling industry and singles out businessman Tom Wolf.
McCord, the state treasurer, says he's the only one who supports a 10 percent tax. Then he says, "Tom Wolf and the others would leave hundreds of millions of dollars in the drillers' pockets."
Wolf's campaign is responding. It suggests McCord is playing political games and that the 5 percent tax that Wolf supports can actually win passage in a stubborn Legislature.
The other Democrats running are U.S. Rep. Allyson Schwartz and former environmental protection secretary Katie McGinty. Republican Gov. Tom Corbett has a primary challenger from businessman Bob Guzzardi.

Family Connections : Stewart Watson creates installations that explore genealogy and family history
Stewart Watson takes the fan chart of a whole new level. She's able to take the family tree and visualize it's uniqueness. "So much of what we are—as a family or species—is similar," she says, "that it is the tiny bit which makes us unique that interests me."
via Urbanite… In Descendant Chart, shown here installed at the DC Arts Center, Watson randomly slipped steel rods through painted 'connectors' that were attached to the wall in a specific genealogical pattern. She explains, "Through non-mechanical reproduction—I like to think of it as a bit of secret performance art—multiples are created that are similar, but never the same. This action is crucial as evidence of the human hand, and its imperfections, in my process oriented work."
How would your family tree look like as art?

In working recently on the topic of leadership and decision making processes in social environments, I thought I'd clarify something per my book. Quite often I see these decision-making methods split into simple categories--centralized versus marketplace (or distributed)--when there is so much more. Additionally, the way how people work to produce results is not the same as who is involved in making the decisions.
One milling question from those who've looked closely at my book, Social Networking for Business, is that leadership and decision-making processes seem to appear in two different areas: the chapter 3 "Leadership in Social environments" and then later again in the section "Describing the Form of Aggregation" in Chapter 4 on Social Tasks. I should explain the key differences here.
Chapter 3 focuses on six different common leadership models: Centralized, Centralized w/ Input, Delegated, Representative, Starfish and Swarm. These models focus on who is allowed to participate in the decision making process, set direction for the social group, and select leaders. These range from those with very strongly centered to very distributed leadership.
The Aggregation methods on the other hand describe how these decisions are made or this work executed: Independent, Autonomous, Consensus, Deliberative, and Combative. These again are alternatives to each other to create results.
Very briefly:
- Independent—Members work on the task separately, but the results are aggregated across all members
- Autonomous—Members work on the task separately of each other, and their results are distinctly visible to other members as separate work.
- Consensus—A group of members works directly together on the task with the intent to deliver an overall collective result, even if it's not unanimous or convergent.
- Deliberative—A group of members works directly together without the intent or necessity of coming to a consensus on a single result.
- Combative—Members must compete against each other to derive the best result from the group, denying other choices.
Certain pairs are more likely to occur: e.g., a swarm is likely to use the Independent aggregation where only the combined results (voting) across many members result in a single value. A delegated model is likely to have autonomous decisions spread across the different domains delegated across the leaders.
The moral here:
Set the right expectations -- Be clear not only about who can make the decisions, but also for those who can do so, how they can make such decisions.

I try to smoke my hands and body then if I get some buzzing my veil I just step over and let it smoke my face...did that the last 2 hive checks and no stings. If I get too many liking my hands I just resmoke them. So far...it has worked well...but that is only 2 hive checks. Maybe I'm getting less nervous and slowing down a bit too.So lucky to have an OB....I keep hinting to my husband...just need to find the right place to put it...then I might get him going on one.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I've done the swap also, and stock type valves cover height wont hit the booster, but anything taller will. You can replace the booster with a late model smaller booster and it's a direct bolt in.
The radiators for a big block Camaro are all top and bottom mount, and you can simply relocate the rubber on the bottom, then buy the wider top for about $24 for a chrome top. You'll need to open up the core support to allow more air to the wider radiator, but I think you'll find Chevy stamped a ridge in the sheetmetal so you can simply cut along the ridge with a jigsaw or sawzall.
I modify the heater boxes the same way by removing the box and flipping the core 180 degrees. I also cut the heater box in half while it's off and tack a sheetmetal strip over the cut so future removal of the core is a 10 minute job, not an all day job.
I've always used the stock smallblock motor mounts, and if you use them with the shorter valve covers you might not have to do the heater core swap. This picture is with small block motor mounts on engine and frame, stock booster, original heater core, and the 427 in my '71 Camaro. I actually had to trim the fins off my Edelbrock valve cover on the pass. side rear to keep them from digging into the heater hoses. The booster is close, but I can still easily remove the valve cover.
I haven't done a 73. But I've done several 68-72. Assuming the front sub is similar.
You can do this with the stock small block engine mounts, The big block 67-69 Camaro..68-70 Nova frame and engine mounts work better, They position the engine lower and to the right.
But the small block mounts will work. Interference with a power brake booster is an issue. Not bad. Sometimes a dimple in the valve cover will cure it.
You will need to remove the heater core and flip it (as the factory did) so the outlets come out closer to the fender, Drill two holes in the heater box and re-install. You can by pass this mod. But the BBC head is very close to the stock heater outlet and will break the pipe if you try to move the engine around for install or maintenance.
Stock BBC's used a radiator that mounted to the sides of the radiator support as opposed to the small block top and bottom mount. A recored small block or aftermkt radiator will work.
Trans crosmember for 400 turbo was different from the std trans/350 autos. I see repros on Ebay periodically. The stock crossmember can be modified. Driveshaft will have to be shortened. Approx 3".
Stock rear end will not last with big tires and "spirited" driving.
what do i have to do to put a 454 in my 73 nova
i have a 73 nova i want to put a 454 in. what do i need to do to make it work i will be using a th400 trans. i know i need new motor mounts but i dont know which ones will work or out of what car they will work from. also will my trans crossmember work it has a three on the tree in it now with a 307. please help
