The Go-Betweens
Robert Forster and Grant McLennan began as a pair of teenagers obsessed with the earthy rock of Dylan, CCR, and the Velvet Underground and encouraged by the Australian punk of the Saints. As collected on The Able Label Singles, their first two singles show a fondness for scruffy, British Invasion/new wave-influenced pop/rock. Picking up permanent drummer Lindy Morrison, they recorded their debut LP, moved to England, and signed a short-lived deal with Rough Trade. Going for a lush, tuneful sound crammed with nonstandard rock instrumentation, they went on to record five more excellent LPs. Though their pre-Beggars Banquet albums were traditionally hard to find in the States, that label finally reissued all six albums on CD in 1996.
In 2000 the band reunited and released a new album, The Friends of Rachel Worth, which also featured all three members of Sleater-Kinney. It wasn't just a fluke, as the band recorded follow-up albums released in 2003 (Bright Yellow Bright Orange) and 2005 (Oceans Apart). Documenting a 2005 concert in their hometown, the DVD/CD package That Striped Sunlight Sound arrived in early 2006, just a few months before the death of McLennan in May. ~ Michael Ribas

so with all the conversion kits which one would you recommend buying
accuracy and reliability are of course the main concern
I had a Kimber for my Kimber and it was reliable and extremely accurate. It did not work well on my Springfield though.
Excellent results with Marvel conversion kit. Perfect functioning and as accurate as my Model 41. The only thing that would make it better is to have the slide lock back after the last round. Bob Marvel has designed a new model that has that feature. Mine has the steel compensator and wears a Millett Red Dot and shoots much better than I do. The steel compensator gives it a weight more comparable to the regular 45 cal 1911. I have had it about 3 years or so with NO problems.
All I can strongly suggest is DO NOT buy a Ceiner kit. They look extremely well made and some function well but they have absolutely NO customer service. If anything goes wrong with it you own a paperweight. I have heard good things about the Kimber and Wilson Combat kits and they will stand behind them.
If you're dead set on a conversion kit, then stop reading.
If you're not tied to a conversion kit and are simply looking for an instrument for inexpensive range practice, then another option is to simply purchase a nice 22lr handgun of same / similar size of your other gun. Good conversion kits can cost you as much or more than a nice 22lr pistol. There are pros / cons to a conversion kit vs another pistol. Just throwing it out there if you hadn't considered it.
Only conversion kit I've ever used on my own gun is the marvel and it shoots every bit as accurately as my 22 match pistol and has been, with the exception of a mild ammo preference (best with standard velocty ammo), trouble free.

Last Friday the draw was made for the FA Youth Cup Third Round with Arsenal meeting either Wycombe Wanderers or Gravesend & Northfleet at home.
Similar to the FA Cup, the Third Round is when the bigger clubs join the competition and Arsenal will be hoping that their home fixture at Underhill, Barnet can be a springboard for their seventh success.
The historic competition has been in existence since 1952 and is considered junior football's most auspicious trophy.
Only current holders Manchester United have claimed the crown more times than Arsenal, whose first victory came way back in 1966. The Gunners debut title came at the expense of Sunderland who they beat 5-3 on aggregate, after losing the away leg 2-1. That team featured two players who went on to claim great success at Highbury; Sammy Nelson and Pat Rice.
The Gunners next victory came in 1971 when Cardiff City were beaten 2-0 on aggregate in the final. This team again included a smattering of players who progressed to the first team, namely Brendon Batson, Brian Hornsby and David Price.
Onto 1988 for our third title and a team that swept all before them, winning the final 6-1 on aggregate against Doncaster Rovers. This team spawned some talented first-teamers of the future, notably Kevin Campbell, Neil Heaney, Steve Morrow, David Hillier and Alan Miller.
In 1994 the Gunners also came top of the tree, winning a tight final against Millwall, 5-3. This year's crop included Matthew Rose, Isiah Rankin and Stephen Hughes.
More recently the Gunners' youth team claimed - and retained - the prize in 2000 and 2001.
In 2000 Don Howe's young Gunners thumped Coventry City 5-1 on aggregate in the final after a very tight semi-final win over Middlesbrough, 2-1. This season's crop featured a number of players who are currently playing in the Premiership; John Halls, Steve Sidwell (both Reading), Jermaine Pennant (Liverpool), Moritz Volz (Fulham) and Jerome Thomas (Charlton) whilst Graham Stack (Leeds), Rohan Ricketts, Jay Bothroyd (both Wolves) and Liam Chilvers (Preston) are regulars in the Championship. The very talented team also featured Italian centre-half Niccolo Galli who went on to play for Bologna in Serie A before tragically being killed in a road accident.
Our most recent victory in 2001 was the most comprehensive final win of all; an 8-1 walloping of Blackburn which included a 5-0 victory at Ewood Park in the first-leg. Jeremie Aliadiere spearheaded the victory, matching the Youth Cup's all time goalscoring record - held by Michael Owen - with nine goals. The team also featured Sidwell, Thomas, Ricketts, Volz and Pennant with Ryan Garry also ever-present. Ben Chorley captained the team and went on to Captain MK Dons and is currently at Gillingham.
- Players must be aged 18 years or younger at midnight on August 31, 2006
- All matches up to and including the quarter finals must be completed on the night. If the game is level after 90 minutes an extra 30 minutes shall be played - 15 minutes each-half. If the score is still level after extra-time, penalties will decide the match.
- The semi-finals and finals are played over two legs. If the aggregate scores are level after normal time of the second leg, two periods of 15 minutes extra time will be played. If the teams still can't be separated, penalties decide the match.
- Clubs should play their home games at their main stadium unless they have special dispensation to play elsewhere. Arsenal play their home games at Barnet's Underhill Stadium, where the Reserves also play.

I'm hoping someone has a suggestion for me or maybe an explanation. I was changing batteries in my Fuji 3800. There was a loud popping noise and now it won't work. Don't know what happened. It wasn't the batteries - they look fine. The bottom of the camera was quite warm. Any ideas? These were alkaline not rechargable.

Sounds like something has short-circuited somewhere - not quite sure if the batteries are the cause or not. I presume you have taken the camera back to where you bought it?

Alkalines don't build up the kind of voltage to fry the camera. The flash capacitor usually develops a serious charge from the batteries. I suggest you check that. Digicams also consume a lot of power, especially the CCD and the LCD panel. The cuircuits that power them could possibly burn out. These would be the second most probable possibilities. Though, the "popping" is something a faulty capacitor does.

Actor, singer and humanitarian Harry Belafonte to deliver Keith Biennial Lecture Sept. 8
DETROIT (July 19, 2011) – The Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights at Wayne State University Law School is pleased to announce its rescheduled Fifth Keith Biennial Lecture featuring prominent actor, singer and humanitarian Harry Belafonte. Belafonte's lecture, "Where We Are Headed," is sponsored by Comerica Bank and Health Alliance Plan. The event will begin at 7 p.m. in Wayne State University's Community Arts Auditorium on Thursday, Sept. 8, 2011.
"The Keith Biennial Lecture has quickly become one of the most significant and anticipated civil rights events in the Detroit community," said Peter Hammer, Wayne Law professor and director of the Keith Center. "We are excited to have Mr. Harry Belafonte deliver this important address. This event will serve as an appropriate kickoff to our fall events and festivities, which will culminate with the Oct. 19 grand opening ceremony for the Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights."
Belafonte official bio
"I am very proud that Comerica has the opportunity to partner in furthering Judge Keith's living legacy," said Caroline Chambers, national manager of diversity initiatives at Comerica Bank. "We are especially excited to fund the Keith Center Biennial Lecture Series and to welcome Harry Belafonte to Detroit. Mr. Belafonte is an American icon and an important voice in our civil rights history. We look forward to hosting students at the lecture who, I hope, will be inspired and motivated by his example."
The Keith Biennial Lecture Series was initiated in 2002 with speaker Lani Guinier, former Keith clerk and the first woman of color appointed to a tenured professorship at Harvard Law School. The lecture series has brought other leading scholars and activists to Detroit to address issues of race, civil rights and social justice. Previous speakers have included Theodore M. Shaw, former director-counsel and president of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund; Constance L. Rice, co-founder and co-director of the Advancement Project in Los Angeles; and New York University School of Law Professor Derrick A. Bell, scholar, activist and leading expert on critical race theory.
Belafonte, who was born in Harlem, N.Y., and spent much of his childhood in his mother's native Jamaica, is well known for his movie roles and music. He won a Tony Award in 1954 for his Broadway performance in John Murray Anderson's "Almanac," and starred in films such as "Carmen Jones," "Kansas City," "Swing Vote," "Island in the Sun" and "Odds Against Tomorrow"; the latter two explored racial boundaries. His albums "Belafonte" and "Calypso" soared to No. 1, the second launching a nationwide craze for Jamaican music. In addition, he became television's first black producer, winning an Emmy for his special "Tonight with Harry Belafonte."
Though he continued to record throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Belafonte began to put more energy into civil rights and humanitarian work. He was a leader in the USA for Africa effort in 1985, singing on the hit 1985 single "We Are the World," and he became a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in 1986.
The lecture is free and open to the public. RSVP online at https://specialevents.wayne.edu/5thbiennialbelafonte. Parking is available in Structure #1 across from the Law School on Palmer Street.

I am a visitor from the planet of Xul which lies millions of miles away in a lonely part of the universe and my task is to visit this place called, Earth and learn about its quaint ideas and practices. I was rather intrigued about an incident the other day in Spain where a group of Muslims decided to pray in a Catholic church despite the fact they were Muslims. The original church building in the spot was the Grand Mosque of Cordoba which was built after the Muslim invasion of Spain, but when Christian forces took the area in 1236 the mosque was replaced by a beautiful Catholic church. A group of 120 Muslims from Austria entered the church and proceeded to pray to their Muslim gods or whatever, an activity that aroused the anger and curiosity of guards. Security personnel told these people to quit praying in a church unless they wanted to pray to the real God or Son of God, or whatever. The Muslim tourists insisted they had a right to pray in a church, a stance that eventually resulted in more police. A court date was set for their appearance.
I gather the charges will be loitering and praying to someone who is not of the Christian faith while in a church which seeks to have people pray– but, pray only to the "right Gods." I assume. I assume there will soon be on Planet Earth, "praying police" who supervise all praying in a church in order to ensure one and all are praying to the right person–or God. Anyone caught praying to the wrong person or God or son of God will be compelled to pray for an entire week outside in the sun.

Restaurant Faces $2000 Fine for Washing Away Bird Poop
A restaurant owner in Corpus Christi, Texas is furious after city officials threatened him with a $2,000 fine for using a garden hose to wash away bird droppings on the sidewalk in front of his business.
"They told me I can't wash it off because I'm polluting," said John Webb, general manager of Crawdaddy's, a family-owned restaurant in downtown. "It's like they want me to go out of business."
Webb told Fox News that his troubles began a few days ago when a city official showed up and demanded he stop washing away the bird droppings. The restaurant is just a few blocks from the waterfront on a dead-end street.
"For the last 18 years we've just been washing it off with a water hose," he said. "But a guy from the city came out here and told me if I washed my sidewalk off again I was going to get a fine."
Webb said he was threatened with a $2,000 fine.
"He said 'Well, you can't wash it off because you're polluting,'" he recalled.
The city official reportedly told Webb that he had two options – he could either hire a professional cleaning crew to remove the bird poop – or he could just let the rain wash it away. Webb said he was dumbfounded.
"So the rain can wash it off and that's a natural occurrence but if I wash it off with my garden hose I'm polluting?" he said. "I asked him if that made much sense."
City officials sent a statement to Fox News defending what they called the "need for sanitary sidewalks."
"The recent incident regarding cleaning sidewalks in Corpus Christi has brought a very important issue to light in regard to bacteria entering our bays through what seems to be common sense activities," the statement read. " However, we also realize the need for sanitary sidewalks. The City of Corpus Christi values the health and safety of our residents and visitors. At this point we will re-evaluate our ordinances and make changes as necessary in accordance with state and federal regulations."
Webb said he was told that civilians cannot wash away bird droppings because it was "against city, state and federal law – I was polluting the bay."
The restaurant, which specializes in Louisiana cuisine, is now in something of a pickle.
"We have excellent food and we pride ourselves on how clean our place is inside – and used to be – outside," Webb said. "Now I can't wash the sidewalk off so people are going to get a bad first impression."
And he doesn't have the money to hire a professional cleaning crew.
"How much is this going to cost me to have somebody clean the bird poop off my sidewalks?" he wondered. "I'm not going to pay to do that. That's foolish."
Instead of risking a big fine,Webb is going to take the city's advice and let nature take its course and allow the rain to wash it away.
"We keep this place sparkling clean," he said. "But it's real ugly in the front of my building, sir."

Check your base-pin latch screw to see if its backed off. If it loosens during shooting, it loses its grip. If this is O.K. Check the base pin latcth by removing it from the frame. It should be square shouldered, if its battered from recoil, it will allow the base pin to slip. Replacing this is a simple and in-expensive fix.
If all is well as far as battered parts, your base-pin may be undersized slightly. I grip the end where it enters the frame with a pair of pliers to throw up a burr at this point. This slight upset increases the diameter slightly for a more snug fit.

Iron Duke stroker kits?
I'm sure I'll catch some flak for this one, but here it goes.
Do any of you out there know of any Iron Duke 2.5L stroker kits. I know it's a 4in bore x 3in stroke so I would think someone out there would have made one by now. Did a search and found no articles on it.
and yes this looks like another project coming my way when I have no more room as it is :P
Not too sure 'bout that one. Phord has the domestic 4-banger aftermarket with the 2000/2300 engines. Roundy round racers love 'em.
The only thing I remember was a SD verion of the Iron Duke from Pontiac. 175" I think it was. If you dig deep enough you might find a crankshaft in usable shape. You'll need some serious headwork done to take advantage of the extra cubes, or pay through the nose for a SD Pontiac head. If you can find one for sale.
My Interest On The 4
THERE ARE 4 INCH STROKES OUT THERE. 3.48 IS THE LONGEST IN THE BOOK i JUST LOOKED IN. i DID NOT SEE THE ROD LENGTH BUT YOU WILL DEFINETLY JERK THE ROD BOLTS APART. i DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA OF ROD LENGTH BUT RED LINE IS GOING TO BE LOW. AND YOU NEED THE SD BLOCK OR A TRUCK BLOCK. THE BOTTOM END IS REINFORCED IN THE CASTING.
There is a rabid following out there for the Pontiac Fiero, most of which were powered by the Iron Duke. Try posting your question in a Fiero forum and you might get more responses.
I found a 3.625 changeout in a SD Could not get a price though. I have looking in Fiero's myself. I want a 4 cyl also, is this it, and can I afford it. I have 6's and 8's but no 4's , Is the pontiac for me-I hope so but I don't know. I would ask if any one can recommend a 4 cyl for me. I like carb's- maybe 2x2 webers, but I have no restrictions, someone tell me what is the best 4 cyl for street sports car. Or even off road 4x4-good engine, I will put it in, except diesel obviously. highend one way, lowend the other. make some suggestions. mean while I dig for the strokers for you. I started a thread for my 4. mark
Why waste time and money on the stroker kit? :confused:
I would spend it on a Brodix head and do whats neccessary to get good air flow.
There is a guy in Califorina that does all kinds of stuff for the Fiero And chevy Citation X-11 Which was used in scca racing and even Yenko was racing them back in the 79-80s I have a chevy artical on the racing, anyway check out there web site or give them a call there very help full.
A solution to raise cubes on this 151 is to install a 153 crankshaft.It will increase your stroke 1/4".Not much but cheap.I built one recently and had to machine the piston tops about 3 mm.Got 11,6:1 CR with stock head! Burning straight ethanol with a Solex carb and 8 degrees timing advance.Runs smooth.
stroker vs Brodix
Sounds better to me, and my personal use but I don't know why the originator of this thread wanted inthe first place. I assume a stroker means you need the whole bottom end anyway. the Question is you did not have to change rods, just top off the pistons.WHATS YOUR AIR FLOW, WHATS YOUR TOP RPM WITHOUT THROUGHING A ROD. thx
There are lots of four cylinder options out there, depending on what you want to do. Olds Quad Fours are great in light rods. For a more nostalgic look track down a Pontiac, International, or Ford "slant four" (literally 1/2 V-8 blocks, usually the right bank -- use the same head/pistons/rods and many other parts of the V-8s). Not many speed parts, but the header is easy and good used cams can be re-ground.
There was a thread here about Chevy and Ford marine fours. The blocks are made heavier due to the constant speed stress of marine engines. That's the only application for the Ford "slant four" -- it was never used in a land vehicle as far as I know. The Chevy marine four is based on the old Chevy four first used in the early Chevy II, IIRC.
truck block-----slants
yep, thats about all I know on the subject. The old habits die hard, but Pontiacs history has never been toward the high end. Everybody jumped on the over cam-Pontiac did it thru Aussies, Brown and something,I think. Pontiac slant 4, Early 60's tempest half 389 all the way. International half of 345 v8,I have a couple v8s nothing to do with them but run in farm trucks and such.mark ps There used to be some good scout used parts and groups. I did not totally quit, butI am going to try to get out this year. I have 2 4x4's out there besides scouts I am looking for a engine-IRON DUKE ?
Hey guys.Was the original Pontiac Fiero cylinder head a cross-flow design?
Was it done in aluminum?
IRON DUKE CROSSFLOW MY book says no, would not take it for gospel though. Probably not by all counts , I am beginning to get enough material together to have realistic answers, but I am not well organized yet, but I went through a bit of listings,books,etc. mark
Kansas Racing Products, http://www.kansasracingproducts.com
An inline four cylinder block based on the Pontiac Superduty-4 engine. It will accept all of the Pontiac SD-4 components. Also, the block can be ordered to be finish-machined to accept virtually any smallblock V-8 cylinder head...GM, Ford or Mopar. Displacements from 140 cid to 213 cid...up to a four inch stroke crankshaft and 4.125 inch cylinder bore. Roller camshafts are supported by five journal roller bearings. Bellhousing parttern can be ordered to accept most common bellhousings.
A KRP engine has never suffered a block-related failure even under high boost conditions!!

By Richard Clarke
Abou Diaby has three major ambitions this season – to stay fit, win trophies with his Club and earn selection to the France squad for the World Cup.
The midfielder began the Premier League campaign in style by scoring a brace in Arsenal's 4-1 win against Portsmouth on Saturday. It was another example of the 23-year-old's undoubted talent but perhaps one that, as yet, has not been fully realised.
A succession of injuries has been the major cause of that. If Diaby can put those behind him then surely he can add to the two French caps he won in 2007.
"It was my first full game because I'd had a few injuries in pre-season," he admitted after Saturday's game. "So to score two goals and have the team winning was a very good day for me.
"Now I want to stay fit, play the maximum number of games and do really well this season.
"I know it's a big season for me and the World Cup is in my mind, of course.
"France have to qualify first but I want to be there and make sure I am in the team so it's one of my targets for the season."
Diaby's team targets seem all the more realistic after three free-scoring wins to open the season. Arsenal were not exactly written off before the campaign began but they were barely backed to improve on last season's fourth place.
"I think we are happy because we have won the first two league games," said the former Auxerre midfielder. "It's given us a lot of confidence. We have some big games coming up in the future and we have to be ready.
"I feel we can definitely challenge everyone this season. We are ready to fight and to get something this year.
"We talk about winning the Champions League, of course. Arsenal is a big club and as a player you want to win that trophy so it's in our mind."
To do that they must first see off Celtic, who arrive at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday intent on overturning a 2-0 first leg deficit.
"It will be hard against them," said Diaby. "They are a good team.
"We are now focused on this game. Everyone knows it will not be easy even after winning the first leg so we will have to be focused to go through.
"But we have scored 12 goals in three games so far, we have confidence and hopefully we can keep going."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

Here's the actual comparison of the older, darker gray and the new lighter gray (I wanted a ROTJ colored jumpsuit, so the ESB blue is another story.) Obviously in daylight it will be even lighter. This is under indoor florescent light.
I've been speaking with Anton at SFP about his gray Fett jumpsuit being too dark as I'm sure many others have. He's now offering a light gray jumpsuit and I received mine yesterday. Overall it's awesome - great quality craftsmanship, material, fit and color.
One minor problem that still exists though is that the shin pockets are still divided right in the middles, even though I tried to get him to change that. He said he would, but they must have missed it. The right short sleeve now has 2 elastic hose holders inside. It arrived from the Phillippines in about 4 weeks. Here's another photo comparison shot in daylight. The darker one on the left has been weathered to appear lighter than the original dark gray, but I think the new light gray (right) is even better.

Take an adventure holiday in CANADA with World Expeditions, one of the world's leading travel companies.
EXPLORE: Canada is the second largest country in world by area (after Russia) extending almost 10 million square kilometers with the world's longest coastline measuring 202, 080 km in length along the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic oceans. The Trans Canada Trail is one of the world's longest networks of trails and, when completed, will stretch nearly 24,000 km connecting all 3 oceans and linking 1000 communities across the country. With a relatively small population, Canada's wilderness is vast and largely untouched; an endless natural playground with countless opportunities for remote outdoor adventure.
EXPERIENCE: Canada is internationally known for its multiculturalism, with many different racial, religious, and cultural influences making up the overall 'Canadian Culture'. However, the nation's 10 provinces and 3 territories also have their own individual history and character. Feel the spirit of the Viking in Newfoundland and Labrador, attend a traditional Acadian Celidh in Prince Edward Island, experience the 'joie de vivre' of the Quebecois, and experience first-hand traditions of Canada's First Nations in Canada's territories. This cultural mosaic is paralleled by the equally diverse landscapes that make up the country's rich tapestry. From the grand mountains of the west to the expansive plains of the Prairies; from the awe-inspiring Great Lakes of Ontario to the Appalachians of Quebec; and from the dramatic tides and fjord lands of the Maritimes to the frozen tundra of the Canadian Arctic, there is no shortage of beauty and wonder awaiting the intrepid traveler.
GREAT CANADIAN TRAILS, a division of World Expeditions, is your start point for active adventure from coast to coast... to coast! Experience different landscapes and cultures from handlebar level, hike rugged sections of the Trans Canada Trail, experience a true Canadian winter atop snowshoes and skis, embark on an Arctic voyage, and explore the Rocky Mountains of the west. Or, for a bigger challenge, try your hand at a mountaineering course in the Rocky Mountains. With a growing selection of guided and self-guided adventures, we promise to inspire you with this vast country we call home.

Did you ever have to write that "What I Did on My Summer Vacation" essay? I don't know if it's still required, but historically, it's one of the first assignments given to students upon their return to school. It's a great exercise to develop writing and communication skills, foster creativity around storytelling, and help kids organize their thoughts and ideas into something both structured and comprehensible.
The same can apply to photos you've taken during any time off. Whether you traveled around the world or enjoyed a staycation with family and friends, you'll want to organize your photos for ease and accessibility.
Here are some tips to help you create a compelling photo album that is fun, creative, and answers the question, "What I did on my vacation":
Use Folders, Tags, and Keywords — Why organize? So you can have easy access to your pictures, right? Well that's where creating descriptive folders, relevant tags, and custom keywords come in. Make sure that what you are categorizing will be easy to find and accurate. A folder called "My Pictures From June" forces you to open it to see what's inside versus a folder called "Mike's 25th Birthday." Then you can use keywords like "events" or "celebration" and tags like "Mike" to make your photos easier to access whether you store them on your laptop, tablet, phone, or an external drive like a Backup Plus Fast Portable.
Make a Photo Book — Select the best of your photos, and create a photo book with the help of a site like Blurb. Make a wedding album or a coffee-table book about your trip to Disneyland.
Pick a Theme — "Girls Night Out," "Good Eatin'," or "Fun With Friends" are all common themes for collecting photos about a particular event or experience. This makes pictures easy to find and can tell a great story about how you spent a particular day.
Create a Timeline — No, not the Facebook timeline, but still the same concept. Use your photos to tell an event from beginning to end, whether it was going to a sporting event, music festival, or kid's birthday. This is an opportunity to let the viewer experience what you experienced. Share the memory.
Develop a Map — Use a site like uEncounter or Pinmaps to highlight where you've been (or even where you want to go). Virtual maps are a great way to share experiences with people who've been to a similar location and make new friends.
Plan an Excursion — Plan a trip based on what you'd like to take photos of. If you want beautiful landscapes, sunsets, and beaches, plan a trip to a campgrounds or beach, either nearby or in another country. Want to showcase thrills and excitement? Plan a trip to an amazing amusement park. The purpose is to already have a sense of what you will shoot before you shoot it, making the idea of organizing it that much easier.
Learn From a Pro — Let's see what Florida-based photographer, Melissa Alicia, has to say about how she handles photo organization:
Obviously when photography is your full-time job, you develop processes and techniques that will help you select the highest quality photos and keep your sets both organized and accessible. I like to leverage Lightroom — a software program that provides tools for photography production and organization. For me, the beauty of using Lightroom is that is has plugins to export to various different photo-sharing websites. You can upload a whole collection as an album to Flickr, SmugMug, Facebook, Picasa, Zenfolio, Shutterfly, and more.
Here's a quick breakdown of my process while in Lightroom:
Photos help capture an experience or relive a memory. Memories should be shared. Can you think of a better way to share a memory, to tell a story, to personalize an experience than by sharing your vacation photos?

SBC 406/421 build advice needed for a 58 Suburban
Hi Folks,
I need some help with our SBC engine build. Im not new to engines, done several rebuilds but its been original spec mostly and never a Chevy engine. Its been Cadillac V8, Ford V8, Volvo, VW etc and the last time we made any serious engine build for power was well nearly twenty years ago, and that was a VW Beetle 2.3liter turbo making the ¼ mile in 10.69. It was an all original full body, interior, chrome etc 1958 Beetle except for engine and box, real wolf in sheeps clothing.
Now we have a 58 Suburban and well the 283 aint up for the task of an Autobahn stomper scaring the living daylight out of Beemers, Bimmers and Benzes. Hence I sourced a SBC 400 (2 bolt main), and modded the frame to take a Jag IRS with 2.88 posi final drive. The 400 will be coupled to a overdrive box, but Im not sure yet which one, the goal is 2000 rpm at 70mph and that it should be able to do 150mph.
This is a sleeper setup, so a few things are more or less set in stone.
1: Will have original Chevy script valve covers which doesnt have oil filler or breather holes
2: The 400 will get machined / tricked at the rear to be able to hookup a 283 breather pipe
3: Intake needs to be able to be machined to take a 283 oil filler pipe. It cant be a super high riser, somebody should be able to get fooled that its original at a quick glance.
4: It will have a TBI EFI controlled by MegaSquirt II (possibly III), TBI is a 900cfm Holley 4-port, with 4 injectors (12R-11157B) 1 3/4" throttle blades. I have a 670cfm too but my guess is that its way too small.
5: It will have a dual snorkel Pontiac GTO 455 69-72 air cleaner; big nice stocking looking and it will hide the TBI.
6: Will have short WP since I want to look stock for 58 i.e. dyno/alt mounted with original brackets on the drivers side, A6 compressor* mounted with original (well Corvette/Chevelle 65-66) brackets on passenger side, and finally PS pump mounted low on the drivers side.
7: Likely having 2.5 ram horn ala Corvette early sixties, they look the same on the outside as the 58 ram horns on the Burb
8: Will have a small body Megasquirt controlled HEI dist from http://davessmallbodyheis.com/ -- i.e. a stock 58 dist with modern interior and computer controlled ignition map
9: Everything will get painted factory.. .
Im not building a street and strip engine. Sure I might take a test doing the ¼ mile but that is maybe once or twice during the time I will have the Burb. This engine needs to be streetable and produce loads of torque all the way from say 2000 to 6000 rpm, that is kind of why I went for a 400. Want to have that good feeling you get in a big cube engine. A feeling just getting whisked away from standstill effortlessly without really flooring the pedal, but merely touching it. Its speed as and the ability to overtake like the car was on fire that is of high importance. Remember it will be a highway/Autobahn warrior .
Since its going to be driven in Europe it can run on 100 octane pump gas (that is about 95 octane in the US due to differences in how octane is measured), I would although prefer to drive on 95 octane (about the same as 91 octane in the US) since that is about 30 cents cheaper per gallon, mind you we pay nearly $8 per US gallon over here and yes it sucks big time!!
If we start with the top end things where a lot easier before simply not much to choose from, Ive also forgot loads and kind of need your views of what I should go for. Been looking at heads, and if you dont want to go for cheapo ProComp head, the main stuff looks to be costing about 800 1400 assembled depending if you go iron or alu. This is for non CNC ported, but figure I could light porting, matching etc our self since we done that in the past. Looks like runner of about 210 225 should be sufficient for a 406 421 (depending if I stroke or not). Im interested in hearing your view and arguments of what heads to go for, around the price bracket mentioned above, likewise what intake to match it with.
This assembly aint going to be stressed as an explosive street and strip engine will. Hence is it wrong to think we can go for cheaper parts on non critical parts i.e. lifter and rockers. From experience a breakdown there will not be catastrophic, compared to a breakdown in the rotating assembly. Thinking a retrofit roller cam, with ProComp hydraulic roller lifters (~$120), and ProComp roller rockers, thinking shaft but then there is not much stress on this engine so maybe not warranted to have them. Dont know what ratio to go for although, well its a cam question and here is where I really need advice. What cam should I go for? Need some god advices of what roller to go for? And if I dont go roller what flat tappet would you recommend?
I know that the 2.5 ramhorn might hamper the setup quite severely, but how much will in hamper it? Im going for a relatively free flowing 3 exhaust, dual the whole way back and with a cross over pipe. Im also contemplating having exhaust dump vales such as the once sold by quicktimeperformance.com. That way I could just dump out the exhaust without any mufflers at ¾ gas or above i.e. overtaking.
Ah yes it would be nice with a good recommendation of what timing gear (type of mechanism) to go for and what model/brand to set for. Here I want good stuff since if this breaks it will get expensive. Well good doesnt mean expensive just reliable and does the job, and if necessary adjustable (depending on cam).
In regards to the rotating assembly I can see us going stock with 0.030/0.040 overbore just. Well of course blue printed, good quality stuff and so on but in all essence stock. However I feel that going internally balanced would be of great advantage, likewise getting better stuff would provide for an engine that will last. So Im thinking going (forged) internally balanced crank, and I think also going from 3.75 to 3.875 stroke since the price is the same anyways. If I understood it correctly using 6 Scat H-beam stroker rods and you can still go with stock cam base circle and it would only require minimal if any modification of the block (correct me if Im wrong). It would be nice to get your opinion on what crank and rods to use and your view why. Piston wise Im contemplating forged or hypereutectic, forged is not that much more expensive but all small expensive in an engine build adds up. Reason why I think hypereutectic might be enough is that; we will never shoot it with nos, nor will we rev it like idiots. Anyways what is your thoughts, what to go for and why? Remember we are in recession so as everyone else we arent made of $$ .
Really big thanks in advance for everyone reading my post and possibly giving advices.
*The compressor might be the newish pro6ten. Still kind of like the old A6 better since it looks just massive .
Ah forgot to say, yes the 900cfm TBI is probably a bit large.. around 750 - 850 would probably been better...
Cheers Dyna
A few ??'s.
What HP/TQ are you hoping for?
Does the Jag IRS have 2.88 gears? If so an OD Trans may not be needed.
OD Trans ratios:
Trans--------1st-----2nd-----3rd----4th Gear
I'd shy away from ProComp Roller Lifters & Rockers. Some of their Aluminum Heads are Ok, the ones with larger 215cc or so Intake runners.
These are 2 SBC406 builds ChevyHiPerformance did a while back. Very torqy builds. Either of these with a nice Roller Cam would produce much more HP/TQ than these Flat Tappet builds below.
The Impersonator I, w/Vortec Heads.
The Impersonator II, w/Aluminum heads.
I was going to suggest an old Aluminum GM 70-72 LT1 type Intake as they have the provision for the Oil fill tube but, the prices have gone crazy. They're basically like a Edelbrock RPM Intake.
Thanks for your answer. A Jag IRS from a V12 XJS 1981 and later all come with 2:88 rear end with LSD. Since I actually have a 89 XJS V12 as my daily driver I know this one revs about 3000 rpm at 70mph with 215/60-15 tires, if memory serves me right (not with the car at present). The tires I will use for the Burb will be 235/70-15 so youre right I might not need an overdrive. I have a 700-R4 but also a 3speed with OD. Afraid that the 3-OD box might explode although. Preferably I would like to still have a manual box on the tree so to say, suggestions welcomed.
I dont really aim for a specific TQ/HQ numbers but rather the result. The more the better but I dont want a high reving unstreetable machine. At 5500 rpm this brick should be able to do 150mph in 1:1 gear with be 235/70-15 wheels. Im pretty sure I need a ton of power for that. I think 475+ HP is the bare minimum when you consider weight and most importantly front area of the Burb.
So what is that nice roller cam , in your view? How much more would it produce compared to the Impersonator II - beside I would not lower the comp since I will drive on 91 (US) octane, and even possibly 95 (US octane). The AFR head especially the CNC once are a tad expensive too, and 421 might need bigger runners.. Hmm food for thoughts..
Why would you shy away from their rollers/rockers have you heard about a lot of failures? The issue with their heads form what I hear is casting quality which is very hard to see, while machined stuff is easier to check for faults and coming failures (the rockers looks like they are machined out of billets).
A Edelbrock performer RPM (7101 and 7104) actually has provision for the oil tube you only need to machine it in there since its not there strait out of the box. Hence dont think there is a need to go for the 70-72 LT1 intake unless I got something wrong..
Sincerely Dyna
Use this Calculator & you'll see which gears you'll need for the 70mph & 150mph and at what rpm they'll be reached>> http://www.f-body.org/gears/
For 70mph @2000rpm you need about a 2.40 final gear ratio but, at 150mph you would only be turning 4300rpm. I figured this with a TH700R4, 3.42 gear and 235/70/15 tire.
Comp has a free Dyno download to play around with different Cams>> http://www.camquest.com/
All SBC Cam operating ranges are stated using 350ci engines so the Cam's operating/rpm range will be lower with a 406ci engine.
It's very difficult to Spec a Cam, I'd go to several Cam sites and fill out their spec sheet for best results. Lunati, Comp, Isky etc..
There're over 100 Dynoed engine combos here>> http://ryanscarpage.50megs.com/combos1.html
I would not go cheap on the Valve train. Pro Comp, Proform etc.. Rockers & Lifters look cheaply made. I haven't searched to see if PC has had problems but, have read many problems with ProForm Rockers. I'd use Scorpion Rockers and Lunati, Morel or Isky Lifters.
You're correct, I hadn't noticed the machinable Boss on the Eddy RPM Intake.
Thanks again for your answers. I kind of figured the 3sp would explode, question is what manual would work and still having the "shift arms" on the side so you can still hook it up to the column shifter on the Burb. I kind of want to avoid going auto if I can. If I was forced I probably go with building my T700-R4.
Was playing along with the program over at camquest, and a 280XFI HR13 would produce well over 400 ftlb between 1500 and 7000 rpm with a peak of 550 at 4500 and 545HP at 5500. That was with large headers although. The ram -horns will take a lot of that away - scary amount nearly... but then you don't really know what manifold the dyno prog think is std. Could probably go with a hotter cam if it's what you say it's done for a 350.
What I mainly was fishing for was peoples opinion, it's easy to do the fill in stuff at various companies but that never gets as good as somebody that is really good at cams. After all lunati probably gets zillions of requests everyday.
Lets see if someone actually have used their lifters or rockers and have any view of it.
Sincerely Dyna

That's too bad. I've owned several S&W revolvers from airlight to a bull barrel model 10 38which I fed 38 +ps in it all the time. Never had a hitch. I have only shot one Dan wesson .357 with interchangeable barrels from 4" to 14". O was neat but too blocky for me. And I've never shot a colt, except for a sat night special, and the cylinder release bit my thumb twice. To this day I won't buy a revolver except a ruger. Period. The thicker cylinder walls and the heavier frame make it rest back in my hand with such natural balance, I can't honestly say I really like any other revolver. I do like S&W but they tend to be barrel heavy to me.
But that cracking frame, broken gun crap is unacceptable. That's how armed citizens become dead citizens. So my 2 cents...stick to rugers. The price is comparable and the double locking cylinder, the thicker cylinder wall, and the heavier built frame will feed anything. I have a mowry special 3 1/2 inch redhawk and feeding 180-210 grains is like shooting a 357 mag. I can one hand it and stay on point all the way through all 6 rounds double or single action. Up in the 240-305 gr rounds I have to hold on a bit tighter, but a 180 gr may be lighter but energy= mass x acceleration, so for less recoil I still get the boom boom to stop a Ford powerstroke. And I'm not one for wounding. Dead folks don't testify...call me a psycho, whatever, I'm not going to prison because some knucklehead pulls iron on me and his friends are there to toss his piece in the woods, and tell the law I accosted an unarmed man with deadly force. Sorry, shoulda picked smarter friends. I don't wound folks. I will punch holes in the car and send them all to hell. And not lose a minutes sleep over it. My word vs theirs, not good for me. My word vs 4 dead folks...well that's easier to explain.

"Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."
Solve your family photo mysteries with these books by Maureen A. Taylor:
Take these two assumptions and test them by fitting that information into the birth date of the grand uncle. He may have known her as an older woman or his parent's knew her.
Showing the grand-uncle a list of all family members born circa 1930 might trigger his memory.
I'll be looking at the unknown images on Thompson's website to see if there are any matches. Another identified picture of her might exist in his family collection. A positive ID could result from comparing her round face and smile to other images.
The final ID will come from testing the facts and comparing pictures.
"I am oppressed with a sense of the impropriety of uttering words on this occasion. If silence is ever golden it must be here beside the graves of 15,000 men, whose lives were more significant than speech and whose death was a poem, the music of which can never be sung." (The New York Herald, May 31, 1868, page 10)
The Freeman house is built on a hill. Behind the house the land drops off. Archaeologists found some of the foundation for the shed, but not enough to be able to determine its function or size. They found poultry wire on the site, which confirms stories about Nancy raising turkeys to support herself.
I'll keep digging for new data.

I really like this idea. The prison suit underneath looks incredible. Like it really is a different material. Great job.
Noooooo! I was so disappointed this morning when I went to see if this shirt was still in the fog. This shirt was awesome, and I would have bought it with or without the text.
Say it ain't so, woot!

A little too large of a print, and I think it would look way better on Royal Blue, but otherwise, great idea.

Oh yeah!.. feedback... feedback...
Uh... yeah... The texture makes it look like an iron-on. You probably should have make use of the effort in making the pockets/belt look more realistic. And stretching the shirts to make it look like the design would actually fit right, is ridiculous.
Oops! That was critical, wasn't it?..... :/
Being a HUGE fan of Dr. Seuss, I like this idea, but I would really like to see a more funky star instead of a perfectly formed one like this...Dr. Seuss has a quirky illustration style and would drive the point home even better.

Re: Fee! Fie! Foe! Fum!
Nice! Simple, but wonderfully detailed. Thought it was a Zelda reference when I saw the thumbnail, and wouldn't have voted for it. Zelda is pretty much played out. But the quality made me curious (and I couldn't remember anything about a harp in Zelda), so I checked out the comp. I love the design. Thanks TGentry.
BTW.. What's with the hating on TGentry. I doubt a significant percentage of voters actually participate in the threads or would know him from any other artist. People vote on what they like. It just so happens that TGentry is good at making shirts people like. I rarely know who the artist is for any design I vote for. I see what I like and vote for it.

The Christmas period of 1978 brought an unexpected gift for Arsenal.
It came two days early but it set the tone for the festive season perfectly: Tottenham 0 Arsenal 5.
It was an unforgettable outcome on an afternoon the Gunners produced arguably their greatest performance during manager Terry Neill's seven years at the helm.
Spurs had returned to the top flight that season after a year in Division Two. Furthermore they had bolstered their ranks with the signings of Argentine World Cup winners Ossie Ardiles and Ricky Villa. But it was Arsenal, and in particular Liam Brady, who bossed the midfield as the Gunners dished out a yuletide feast for White Hart Lane's away contingent.
As far as Spurs supporters were concerned Alan Sunderland was the pantomime villain, feeding off Brady to net a superb hat-trick. Frank Stapleton also reaped the rewards of Brady's brilliance while the Irishman produced a piece of individual magic to beat the Spurs keeper with an outrageous curling shot from the edge of the box. Five goals on the road in a North London derby.
Brady's spectacular effort was the most memorable and continues to be revered by Gunners fans today. "Look at that. Oh, look at that," commentator John Motson bellowed as the watching television cameras captured the backlift of Brady's foot, the arc of the ball, and the Irishman's celebration in front of the stunned Spurs faithful (see below).
Neill's side went on to finish seventh, four places above Tottenham that season. The result remains Arsenal's biggest post-war triumph at White Hart Lane.

Beck to the future
Guest commentary from Georg Hoffmann
Our understanding of the natural carbon cycle has greatly improved since the times of Svante Arrhenius (1859-1927) and Guy Stewart Callendar (1898-1964). We know what the atmospheric background value of CO2 currently is (it passed 380ppm last year, about 100ppm over the pre-industrial level), we know the seasonal/diurnal cycle in different environments, we have been able to put reasonable constraints on terrestrial and marine sources and sinks, and finally we know the impact of fuel combustion both globally and locally in heavily polluted areas.
The most impressive record documenting the human role in atmospheric CO2 concentrations was recently published in the AR4 SPM showing the comparably minor variations of CO2 during the Holocene (as measured in various ice cores) followed by the abrupt increase of greenhouse gases (GHGs) since the start of industrialisation in the 19th century (figure).
It took a lot of long and painful lessons for scientists to come to this level of understanding of the natural carbon cycle and its anthropogenic contributions. Difficulties arose mainly from two problems: First, sampling of air masses and subsequent measuring of CO2 concentrations was in itself a difficult problem. Measuring techniques were based on titration with limewater or baryta (the Pettenkofer process) and needed a significant amount of technical skill and patience for a proper measurement. The regular use of a CO2 standard to permanently check the measurement quality was something of an exception.
Secondly, nearly all early sampling facilities were tested in continental environments often under the sporadic influence of heavily polluted air masses (such as Paris, Parc Montsouris, Copenhagen, Dieppe etc.). How large is the influence of such "CO2 pollution"? A quick tour through my car-traffic-saturated home town, Paris, can give us a good first impression:
- Jardin Luxembourg (major but still tiny green spot in the center of Paris) 425ppm
- Place de la Bastille: 430ppm
- Place de l'Etoile (the crazy huge roundabout around the Arc de Triomphe): 508ppm
- And the winner was Place de la Nation: 542ppm (ie 160ppm over background!).
All these measurements by David Widory and Marc Javoy (reference below) were snapshot measurements, but they show how CO2 concentrations can vary strongly due to nearby fossil fuel combustion. Even in apparently "natural" environments there are many technical pitfalls to avoid. Strong CO2 fluxes due to the breathing (i.e. photosynthesis and respiration) of the biosphere are producing large diurnal cycles. A sampling site too close to the surface or shielded by a surrounding forest can easily bias the CO2 signal by several dozens of ppm.
During Callendar's time the exact numbers and processes involved in regional low-altitude CO2 measurements were not yet precisely known. Nevertheless, he made a careful selection of reliable data depending on the methodology used and, in particular, depending on the wind direction since he correctly assumed that North Atlantic marine air represents much better something like a Northern Hemisphere background value. Callendar published his results first 1938 and finally (in 1958) gave a "best value" of 289ppm for the late 19th century amazingly confirmed by subsequent ice core work (see Figure 1).

A report issued by a Canadian inquiry vindicated the innocence of three Canadian Muslims who were tortured and abused overseas. The report slams foreign officials for failing to provide consular services to its citizens who were in their countries. The overall conclusion was that Canadian actions and inactions "indirectly" or "likely contributed" to the detentions of two and the torture suffered of the other at the hands of Syrian interrogators who mistakenly thought the detainee was somehow connected to a terrorist organization. A difficulty cited in the report in determining the actions of the men is failure on the part of anyone to conduct a trial, present evidence, allow cross examination or even allow the men to present their defense after unilaterally charged with crimes.
Critics who charged their government failed to protect the rights of its citizens were concerned that no names of Canadian officials appear in the report. Of course, the Canadian government never apologized for allowing a foreign nation to imprison and torture its citizens.

Ahhh, the game. Pretty impressive that we were able to mount a comeback without $50M in salary on the court! But on D... who was guarding Dirk? (that's right, it doesn't matter because he's 7' tall, shoots fadeaways, and has Larry Bird-type touch). But what about Bass? Who decided to let Dampier get a series of wide open dunks? I'm not sure Dirk ever needs to be double teamed. Just let him shoot his 60% over 1 defender and try to clamp down on their other scrubs. But whatever. Again, we were missing $50M in personel tonight. No team wins when that is the case. Would have been quite a feat.

I am looking for the perfect game to start over the summer as my semester ends in just 10 days.
What I am wanting:
1) A game that has a decently large playerbase, and a decently large economy thats NOT paytowin. (I recently got back into to Conquer Online on to find out its basically paytowin so its just pointless)
2) F2P isn't a large issue but it is definitely a plus.
3) Graphics... the graphics to me do not make a game to me so that isn't an issue, I've played WoW and decently enjoyed it and ive played Dofus (2D) and fell in love with it.
4) Games I've played heavily and enjoyed in my past: Runescape (100+ Days played), Dofus, Conquer Online, WoW (On and off, only got to around level 50 because I merely feel lost in that game), Diablo 3.
5) The newer the better, the game doesn't have to be brand new but I dont want it so old where its basically impossible to start due to overpowered players everywhere.
6) PvE and PvM, I cant stress it enough, if the server revolves around any kind of PvP count me out. That is never my thing, I enjoy raiding and sticking to killing monsters, never other players.
7) Simplicty, as you can tell by some of the games I've played, I enjoy simple ones that arn't to complex that it takes years to master.
So from all of these hints I've given to which games I've liked in the past. Please give me some games that I should check out! I enjoy basically any game, I just want to actually play one for more than a month. Also add me on skype at cameron.gaming if you suggest a game and can help me out on it with the basics and getting started.
Thanks in advance.

Why do all the asians speak in broken English?
Why do all the asians speak in broken English?
ching chong sugoi taekwondo
Well to start off, their language are very different from ours, english is latin based, as quite a few other languages, asian languages are not, the sentence structure and pronounciation are pretty different as opposed to let's say italian or french.
To compare to japanese for example, they don't pronounce some letters the same way we do in english, (Their U is pronounced like we do in french rather than english) the noun, verb and adjectives are also defined by another word that serves as a suffix to tell what the word was, but the sentence can pretty much be written in any order.
I wanted the witch to win this movie sucks
Hi Delamorte
It's an American movie set in (I haven't seen it so correct me if I'm wrong) Japan. They're not gonna have everyone speaking Japanese in an American movie, so they just throw in "Asian" accents to make it more believable. It's the same reason everyone has a British-sounding accent in American movies set in Europe or Middle Earth or something.
Dear Delamorte,
Learn the what racism means.
A hamster.
I found it racier that ?japanese? people spoke english.
i couldn't really finish the movie after about 10 minutes. i dont know how good a movie it is, i just didnt feel like watching movies overall. And this movie just felt too much like a cheap attempt to make it sound asiany like The Last Samurai or that Shogun movie - both really disgusting patheitc and revolting movies. Am I bad to feel this way?
Be warned - I am a major player of Regnum Online the mmo. I've been playing it for about 2 years and rarely go without logging in at least once a day. You can also look at good alternatives to Regnum such ase Aion online and Aika Online.
cba to watch this movie. i already have a giant backlog of actually good samurai movies dled to watch.
Just saw this thread... You do realize that this is how Japanese people actually speak English, right?
Was going to say the same, it's like none of you have seen Jackie Chan out-takes.

Get a thorough introduction to Perl from Randal Schwartz, co-author of the bestselling book Learning Perl. This video tutorial shows you why Perl is the language for people who want to get work done -- from short fixes on the command line to web applications, bioinformatics, finance, and much more. With vivid descriptions and detailed examples peppered by his eclectic wit, Randal covers all of the important aspects of the language through version 5.10.
Learn what it takes to be a Perl programmer from one of the world's foremost authorities on the subject. Video topics include:
Randal L. Schwartz is a two-decade veteran of the software industry. He is skilled in software design, system administration, security, technical writing, and training. Randal has coauthored the "must-have" standards: Programming Perl, Learning Perl, Learning Perl for Win32 Systems, and Effective Perl Learning, and is a regular columnist for WebTechniques, PerformanceComputing, SysAdmin, and Linux magazines. He is also a frequent contributor to the Perl newsgroups, and has moderated comp.lang.perl.announce since its inception. His offbeat humor and technical mastery have reached legendary proportions worldwide (but he probably started some of those legends himself). Randal's desire to give back to the Perl community inspired him to help create and provide initial funding for The Perl Institute. He is also a founding board member of the Perl Mongers (perl.org), the worldwide Perl grassroots advocacy organization. Since 1985, Randal has owned and operated Stonehenge Consulting Services, Inc. Randal can be reached for comment at email@example.com or (503) 777-0095, and welcomes questions on Perl and other related topics.

Excellent But...
By Matt
from USA
About Me Everyday Reader
Comments about oreilly Randal Schwartz on Learning Perl:
This series could be great. Randal is a very knowledgeable and excellent instructor. One problem is the video is mostly showing him speaking and only brief views of the code or slides. It would be much better if the video showed mostly the slides with his narrative in the background. I found myself frequently rewinding the video to see what he was talking about to study it. I would recommend that anyone watching these videos to download the slides so they can follow along. If the slides were imposed in the corner or shown most of time this would not be necessary.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Perfect Book Companion
By Mike the Student
from Erie, PA
These video lectures are the perfect companion for the corresponding books (both Learning Perl and the Student Workbook). I felt like I was able to take a complete course and got a solid handle on beginning Perl. Mr Schwartz clearly knows the subject well and does a solid job of explaining and answering questions.One reviewer noted that they had trouble following the slides and lectures since the slides weren't always visible. Perhaps that was a problem back on 2012, but now the slides come along with the videos so you can have them side by side.
Perl from the ground up
By Przemysław
from Kraków
Learning Perl Video is almost 11 hours long lectures covering Perl from the ground up. Randal Schwartz presents concepts and quirks in Perl step by step. Videos are nicely divided by topics. Every video is shorter than 1 hours, so it's optimal to pay attention to presented material and take break between videos.Randal presents material clearly, tells some anecdotes but there are not too many examples. Hands-on experience seems to me vital when learning programming language and I checked many code snippets when I watched those lectures.
Excellent Complement to the Book
By pmccartney
from Houston, TX
Randal Schwartz knows Perl, plain and simple. The books that he's authored and co-authored prove that. With these "Learning Perl" videos, you get to hear, in his own words, how things work within the Perl programming language.The best part about these videos, is that you have the ability to go back and review things that you may have missed the first time around.All I can say is, I am thoroughly pleased in making this investment, simply because the combination of the book and the videos have helped me better understand many aspects of Perl I otherwise would have been frustrated with.Granted, this is not something that you can sit down and watch in a day and be done with. This is a (watch a video, read the same chapter in the book, and then do the exercises) type of learning. And, if you are stuck on something, a little extra information digging may be required on your behalf. I would also recommend the "Student Workbook for Learning Perl" to provide you with additional exercises.

Leaves a little to be desired
By CP
from North Salt Lake, Utah
I find the topic to be spot on, my problem with the video is that the slides are not on screen except for little blips here and there. I find that when trying to follow the lecture, and the occasional times the slides are on screen, I don't know what part of the slide he is talking about. I have to rewind, and pause frequently to "catch up".

Best.Video course.Ever.
By Ziltoid the Omniscient
from Mumbai,India
When I decide to start studying a certain programming language, I usually check amazon reviews and forum posts for a good book. With Perl , there was one name that appeared everywhere, Randal Schwartz. Learning Perl by Schwartz, phoenix and brian d foy was THE book to learn perl according to the majority of programmers. I bought the book(5th edition) and absolutely loved it. When I was almost done with the book, I saw that O'reilly had a video course available. Video courses are always an awesome compliment to a great book. This course exceeded every programming course that I have done(on video).This is a near perfect video course. I absolutely love the stories Randal has and his way of presenting material. I advise anyone who wants to learn perl to get this course and his book because there is no simpler and fun way to go about it. Randal understands his audience well. He knows what a beginner will find difficult and he spends a considerable amount of time on confusing aspects of the language. PERL is not like any other language in my opinion. I really like how he explained and introduced Regular Expressions. Regex is something every programmer should know. I agree with the other reviewer who said the slides are a little difficult to read in some parts. Barring this, Learning Perl is an excellent video course and I would recommend this to any budding Perl programmer.I can only hope that Randal Schwartz and O'reilly are working on videos for advanced programming in Perl. I look forward to them. If you are considering this course , please buy the author's book as well. Here are links to the course and the book.Video Course : http://oreilly.com/catalog/0636920014430/Book (5th edition available at the time of the course) : http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596520113Book (6th edition june 2011) : http://oreilly.com/catalog/0636920018452I received this as part of the blogger review program.

excellent overview of perl
By david karapetyan

About Me Developer, Maker
The video tutorials by Randal Schwartz provide a pretty good overview of the perl language but the lack of exercises prevent it from being anything other than a simple overview.Randal Schwartz does an excellent job providing snippets of perl code to demonstrate aspects of perl and he has a good sense about which aspects will trip up the beginning perl programmer and so he explains those aspects more in depth. I think perl is known for a lot of its magic and weird implicit rules for operators, e.g. things like $_ and @_ meaning different things in different contexts, but Schwartz presents those aspects in small chunks and with lots of example code so the viewer doesn't get overwhelmed. Initially I was a little shocked by how perl subroutines and loops handle various variables because all the languages I know are very explicit about variables and arguments and how they are passed around but after a while I started to see the benefits of contextual variables and implicit operator rules.I enjoyed the videos because Schwartz does a pretty good job and gives a nice overview of the language but I would have liked to have been presented with some exercises to try out on my own after each video lecture.

Learn from one of the best
from Ammon, ID
About Me Developer
The course material was current and easy to follow. While the material was very good, I found that what I most enjoyed were the occasional side stories from this core member of the Perl community. These insights gave me a better feel for the current state of the Perl community and culture than I have been able to glean from web pages or technical books.The only drawback to this video format for me was that in the presentation, the slides are not always visible on the screen when the speaker is referring to them. On more than one occasion I found myself rewinding the video trying to get back to the slide containing source code that was being dissected in order to understand what was being said. It would have been very helpful to have a copy of the slides or corresponding source code while watching the video.Overall this is a worthwhile introduction to Perl that provides an excellent starting point for beginners who prefer classroom style instruction to just reading a text book.Note:In the interest of full disclosure, I received a free copy of this video in exchange for writing a review.

Randal the Great
By Chanio

This guy is an excellent programmer in a lot of languages. And he is now one of the biggest perl evangelists. So much so, that future generations might mistakenly remember him as the creator of perl.I am planing to watch the 10 hours videos and enjoy them. It is the best way of refreshing my perl lessons. His books are awesome, so if you enjoy the videos, do not miss the chance of expanding your knowledge by purchasing one of his book.Thank you, Randal!
