This two-part article explores branching strategies—development tactics that allow teams to work concurrently on different features and maintain the relationship between them. In part one, Steve Berczuk explains what branches are, common types of them, and the tradeoffs between branching styles.
With meticulous application of agile testing and release-management principles, it is possible to avoid a long, end-of-release period by realizing the goal of a shippable product at the end of every iteration. Many teams have not yet attained this level of discipline, and proper use of code branching can help a team make progress. However, using branching incorrectly can have the undesired effect of slowing down rather than speeding up the team's progress.
In this article we'll describe what branches are for, and how to understand tradeoffs between branching styles. In part two, we will discuss three approaches for managing the end game of a release cycle and explain how to finish a release when you're not quite agile enough to always have ready-to-ship code.
Code Lines and Release Branches
A code line is a stream of development to which developers commit changes to be shared with other members of the team. Development starts on a single code line. As time passes, the team may decide that a section of the code needs to evolve in parallel with the main stream of development. When this happens, the team creates a branch.
A branch is simply a parallel stream of development work that starts from another code line. In effect, to branch is to make a copy of the code at a specific point in time so that the code can evolve independently. Source code management (SCM) tools can simplify the process of merging changes between two code lines by keeping track of what changed in each code line since the time of the branch. Figure 1 is an example of a simple branching diagram.
Figure 1: Branching
A branch has two important attributes:
- The point in time that the branch was created. This is captured by the version management tool's ability to track ancestry and is used to manage the mechanics of merging.
- The reason you branched. This is often captured with naming conventions or metadata and is used to determine how to work with the code line and the process to follow before committing changes to the code line.

Saturday, November 08, 2008
Three weeks ago, Belmont Park was the site of New York Showcase Day, with seven stakes races worth $1 million for state-bred horses. This Sunday will be a special day at Aqueduct Racetrack, a mini-showcase day featuring a half-dozen stakes races worth $500,000 restricted to horses sired by New York stallions.
There are many familiar names among the 51 horses entered in the six New York Stallion Series events, including the Richard Dutrow-trained Logic Way, a neck winner over Get Serious in the Mohawk Handicap on Showcase Day. With four victories and one second in six starts this year, Logic Way is one of 10 entered in the $75,000 Cormorant Division at 1 1/16th miles on the turf, which will be run as the seventh race on the day's nine-race card. Also returning from the Mohawk are Get Serious and Classic Pack, who was fifth.
Trainer Barclay Tagg has two entered in the Cormorant: Doc N Roll, seventh in the Floral Park in September, and the lightly-raced Dr. Decter, who broke his maiden at second asking and then ran off to a three-length victory in a seven-furlong allowance on October 18. Completing the field are Theconfidenceman, Fairway Drive, Pennington, Baxter, and Kettle Two.
Tagg will also be saddling Nehantic Kat in the Cormorant's sister race, the $75,000 Perfect Arc, also at 1 1/16th miles on the turf. The five-year-old daughter of Tomorrows Cat, third to Love Cove in the Ticonderoga on Showcase Day, will be taking on eight fillies and mares including Ticonderoga returnees Bella Attrice, who was fifth, Follow My Dream, who was eighth, and Borrowing Base, who finished ninth.
Two-year-olds get their chance to shine in the $100,000 Fifth Avenue for fillies and the $100,000 Great White Way, both at six furlongs. The second- and third-place finishers in last month's Maid of the Mist, Sneakin Up and Anjorie, return for the Fifth Avenue, with Anjorie running as part of a Sugar Maple Farm entry with Sarah Accomplished. The Tagg-trained Tall Poppi, second to the well-regarded Trinity Magic in the Sleepy Hollow, heads a field of eight for the Great White Way.
Trainer Bob Baffert is not one usually associated with New York-bred horses, but it is Mike Pegram's Under Serviced who tops a field of eight for the $75,000 Staten Island for fillies and mares, 3 and up, going seven furlongs.
With three victories from five starts, including the Schenectady in September, the three-year-old daughter of Hook and Ladder finished third to Ice Cool Kitty and By the Light in the Iroquois Handicap last month. Also returning from Showcase Day is the Dominic Galluscio-trained Raffie's Treasure, who represented the trainer in his attempt at a three-peat in the Empire Classic, in which the three-year-old daughter of Raffie's Majesty was ninth.
Capping off the six races is the $75,000 Thunder Rumble, also at seven furlongs, in which Spanky Fishbein returns to familiar territory. The three-year-old son of Hook and Ladder, fourth in the Empire Classic last month, won the Great White Way division here last fall, was second to Giant Moon in the Damon Runyon and the Count Fleet, and then was fourth in the Whirlaway in February. Now trained by Chad Brown, Spanky Fishbein will be facing seven in the Thunder Rumble, including Almighty Silver, Mor Chances, Gold and Roses, Good Card, Prince of Peace, Irish Blast, and Oedipus O'Neal.

FAQs About Satisfactory Academic Progress
Click on a question below for the answer. Click on the question again to close.
- What is Satisfactory Progress?
- The Higher Education Act of 1965 requires that institutions of higher education establish reasonable standards of "satisfactory progress" toward a degree. A student who does not meet these standards is not eligible to receive federally-funded financial aid. Click here to view the entire SAP policy.
- Why does the Financial Aid Office check academic progress?
- The US Department of Education requires that students who receive financial assistance demonstrate academic success and progress toward a degree objective. This progress standard must review course completion rate as well as grades received.
- What aid programs are affected if I am suspended for financial aid?
- Suspension from aid stops a student from receiving any federal aid program (this includes student or parent loans, grants, and work-study), any KY state aid program, or any aid program which requires that the student meet school's satisfactory academic progress (SAP) policy. It may impact on ability to access private student loans.
- How often is my progress checked?
- At the end of each term of enrollment (fall, winter, spring, and summer) the academic records of all students are reviewed to determine if the standards are being met.
- Why am I considered not to be making Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) when I have no failing grades? I was advised to drop the class rather than receive a low grade.
- Even though dropping or auditing a class may help your GPA, the SAP policy considers hours dropped with a "W" as "attempted not successfully completed". You are only negatively affected if the total number of hours you drop places you under the required 75% completion rate. NOTE: Classes with grades of "AU" (audit) and incompletes are also counted in your completion rate.
- Why do all classes count towards my attempted hours even when I was not receiving financial aid at the time?
- Federal guidelines require that we count all classes even though you did not receive financial aid.
- What is an academic plan?
- An academic plan is a recommended course of action that covers one term of enrollment. It may specify courses and/or term grade point averages that need to be reached in order to continue to receive financial aid. The Financial Aid Office will review your academic transcript at the end of each enrollment period in order to determine if financial aid eligibility will continue. An academic plan may also include recommendations for repeating courses (this will not improve your completion rate but may improve grade point average)
- How am I notified about my satisfactory academic progress status?
- An email is sent to the student's WKU email account at the end of each enrollment term if the student is not meeting SAP standards and is placed on "warning" or "suspended". You are responsible for checking your WKU e-mail weekly. Students who appeal are notified through their WKU e-mail of the results of the appeal. The decision of the Financial Aid Appeals committee is final.
- Once I submit my appeal, how long is the typical review process?
- Typically, turnaround is 7-15 business days. If an appeal is submitted near the deadline, it could take three or more weeks.
- Why do I have to submit supporting documentation?
- Since professional judgment is used to approve an appeal and override your actual SAP status, documentation is required of circumstances that prevented you from being successful. Make certain your appeal and supporting documentation are concise and complete because this will be the material the committee uses to base their decision on for your appeal. All decisions are final.
- Where do I go to check my status after I submit an appeal?
- After the committee has made a determination, your results are e-mailed to your WKU e-mail account.
- How can I purchase books or pay for off-campus housing if my appeal is still pending?
- You are responsible for meeting any necessary expenses that are due prior to the results of your appeal. It is in your best interest to submit the appeal form and required documentation as soon as possible.
- If my appeal is denied what other options do I have?
- You may contact a private alternative lender. The loan will require that you or your co-singer complete a credit check. You also have the options of the TMS payment plan. Contact the WKU Billings Office for details. Federal financial aid can be awarded when you are meeting all of the overall progress standards again.

Clairton football seniors seek another title
When the Clairton football players stepped into the locker room after its 44-12 win over Port Allegany in the PIAA Class A semifinals, they were given an individually packaged Hershey's bar.
It was a symbolic gift that every Bears player probably knew a year ago that they would get this week. They had set their sights on returning to Hershey to play in their fifth consecutive state championship game, and the candy was only a small, sweet reward for pulling within striking distance of becoming only the second team to win four consecutive PIAA Class A state titles.
"I think this year is kind of bigger because this is my senior year, and it's going to mean more to me that it's the last game I'm going to be playing with my bros," Clairton wide receiver Terrish Webb said. "Those guys are like my family, so we want to win it all."
Only Southern Columbia, the team Clairton dispatched in the finals in 2011, has won four straight championships. The Tigers, in fact, won five straight from 2002-06. Berwick won four consecutive state Class AAA titles from 1994-97.
Clairton (15-0) will be trying to close out the greatest four-year run in state history. The Bears head into their game at 1 p.m. Friday at Hersheypark Stadium against District 2 champion Dunmore (14-1) riding a state-record and national-best 62-game winning streak.
Even more important is that this senior class has lost only one game — the first game of its freshman year — and the group wants to close out their careers with a victory.
"This means a lot," senior quarterback Armani Ford said. "This is my first year starting at quarterback, and the team put its trust in me and put it on my back, and now, we're going to Hershey."
This won't be the first time Clairton has faced a District 2 team in the state finals during its run. In 2010, Riverside gave the Bears all they could handle as they fell behind, 24-0, in the second quarter before a then-relatively unknown Tyler Boyd broke a 30-yard run on a busted play to set up the team's first touchdown.
He then caught a 37-yard touchdown from Desimon Green before the end of the half and hooked up with Green for an 82-yard scoring pass on the third play of the second half to help storm back for a 36-30 victory.
Since that game, Boyd has become one of the most desirable college prospects in the WPIAL. Over the past two seasons, he's scored 97 touchdowns to give him 116 in his career and break the all-time record of 110 set by Hopewell's Rushel Shell from 2008-11. His 5,638 yards place him sixth on the WPIAL's all-time rushing list, 111 behind McGuffey's Jason Barr.
Still, he knows better than anyone that a candy bar just isn't going to cut it for this particular group of players. They want the brass ring, and after winning in their past three trips, they know what to do to make it happen.
"This is the best feeling because we're seniors, and we know what it takes," Boyd said. "There might be adversity to get there, but everybody is in here stepping it up and making plays."

Extreme Programming Pocket Guide Review
By Larry Gray
from Undisclosed
This book superbly condences practices that could have a positive effect on any methodology that a programmer currently has in use. I have read it twice and found it hard to find lines to highlight because I seemed to want to highlight all of them. If you are looking for a good methodology that will help your open source projects(or otherwise), this is it. I code open source and I use sourceforge with cvs for a repository. Most of what is in this book I feel can be applied in some way. While its difficult to implement the war room and pair coding, this can be emulated. WWW and possibly IRC can be the war room. Pair coding can be one guy writing, the other reviewing. But I found all other aspects of XP to be most helpful, especially in the adopting of new priciples, practices, methods, standards and in the reorganization of my projects. Among that, XP Style, Artifacts and one very useful Metric for tracking your ability to estimate task time.Great book, will improve your work.

If you are looking for a quick introduction to Extreme Programming (XP), then this is your book. Inside this gem is the essence of XP. chromatic has boiled down the original XP manifesto (extreme programming explained by Kent Beck) and many other books in the XP series into one little book.The book covers the following topics:XP ValuesXP PracticesXP EventsXP ArtifactsXP RolesCoding, XP StyleAdopting XPWhile much of the information in this pocket guide is available in other books, I do not think that I have seen such a concise summary of Extreme Programming before. I would recommend this book to anyone who may be gathering an XP team together or is interested in learning the highlights of XP in a short time. That said, experienced XP practitioners will not find anything new in this book, but if you need a quick reference this book may be for you as well.

NEW YORK — Macy's has launched a new apparel collection inspired by, and named for, Hollywood legend Marilyn Monroe. The collection, created by LF USA and Authentic Brands Group, will infuse the actress unrivaled personality and retro styling into flirty and fun garments for the fashion-forward girl.
This March, Marilyn Monroe will launch exclusively in the Mstylelab department at 150 Macy's stores and online at macys.com. Customers and fans can look forward to an advertising campaign that immortalizes the starlet's style through iconic photographs alongside the new collection.
"We are thrilled to partner with the retail experts at Macy's to bring to life one of the things Marilyn loved most – fashion," said Nick Woodhouse, president and CMO of Authentic Brands Group. "As one of the world's most famous style icons, it only made sense to create a Marilyn Monroe apparel collection that represents the glamour and beauty that she is known for."
The Marilyn Monroe line embraces silhouettes that fit and flatter, from halter dresses that cinch at the waist to gingham tie-front, button-down tops and pink polka dot denim, evoking a Monroe-esque image. Recreating the icon's noteworthy personality this spring, Marilyn Monroe is effortless, flirty and ultra-feminine. Soft blues and pinks highlight a girl-next-door quality, while bold reds and black and white add a sense of allure. Customers can also show their love for Hollywood's eternal "it" girl by wearing a smiling Marilyn Monroe cropped t-shirt that features the icon in one of two famous poses. The collection will retail from $29 to $89, offering affordable fashion to girls who want to look confident, feminine and fun.
"Marilyn Monroe's appeal is legendary and Macy's is excited to launch a collection that draws inspiration from her timeless style," said Martine Reardon, Macy's chief marketing officer. "This new line takes her unique sensibility, noteworthy silhouettes and colors of the time, and reinvents them for a modern-day Marilyn Monroe that is fun-loving, flirty and not afraid to play with fashion."

Mary and Stephen were married at The Horticulture Center in Philadelphia, Penn. on February 9. "Having a wedding indoors in a greenhouse was the closest I could come to the outdoors in February," Mary said. She wore an Alvina Valenta wedding gown with an illusion neckline, accessorized with a faux fur stole, while her bridesmaids wore long black J.Crew dresses, accessorized with brown faux fur stoles. "During the ceremony, I carried the prayer book my maternal grandmother carried when she got married in 1947," she said. "She had hand covered the book with material from her wedding gown and hand tied ribbons to it." The newlyweds entered the reception to the band playing the theme song from Star Wars. "All our family and friends had gathered on the dance floor to welcome us in," Mary said. "We weren't really sure what to expect, but that moment was so warm and exhilarating. One moment we will never forget!" Tables were decorated with baby's breath in blue mason jars atop tree woodcuts and a sprig of Princess Pine at each place setting, which ended up being attached to each guests' lapel by the end of the night.

Anyways, she referred to a few makeup brushes and how they help you get the look you want. So, I decided to ask her for her favorite brushes and how to use them with her favorite Cover Girl products for a great result! These are the products that she's reaching for most often right now, many of them I've tried and love as well. I've added a few comments about products that I've tried below.
While all of the brushes she referred me to were from Shu Uemura (she started working there when she was 16!), you can use these as a shape reference and then pick them up from other brands if you want (or even consider buying paint brushes from the art supply if you can't afford them). Investing in good brushes should last you years if you take care of them.
Shu synthetic brush #10. It's best to use a synthetic haired brush when using creams. This shape of this brush is great for getting into all of those nooks and crannies.
• CoverGirl Product Recommendation: TruConceal
I've used this concealer a lot, and love it! While it is more pigmented than many other mass market concealers, I think that it blends more easily into your skin. The TRUblend products use a different pigmentation technology than most other products on the market, allowing them to blend onto your skin more easily as well as look more natural.
Shu synthetic brush #14. This brush shape helps to blend out foundation and spread it around for a flawless application.
• CoverGirl Product Recommendation: TruBlend Liquid Makeup
Similar to the TRUblend concealer, again there are different pigments used in this foundation (Read my review of the TRUblend products here).
Shu natural brush #18R. I love this tool for powder because it picks up just enough powder to work as a finisher. It is not too dense, so it doesn't cake on the powder.
• CoverGirl Product Recommendation: TruBlend Pressed Powder
I've already repurchased this powder. Twice.
Shu natural brush #20. A perfect applicator for powder blushes. Its shape is perfect for a rosy cheek.
• CoverGirl Product Recommendation: TruCheeks
I love that the blush has the same numbering system as the powder, foundation and concealer. So, you know that if you're a 1 (light like me), then the #1 blushes are probably the best fit for you. You can always go higher or lower for a lighter or more intense look if you want. There are 3 blushes in each compact, giving you a few options each day!
Eye Shadow
Base Shadow:
Shu natural brush #10. This flat brush is great for pressing is a base color, and because of its natural hair it picks ups just the right amount of product.
Crease Shadow:
Shu natural brush #8HR. This brush is contours the crease perfectly as the shape fits right into the crease of the eye.
All Over Blending:
Shu natural brush #13G. This looser hair brush blends all the colors on the eye smoothly and easily.
Eye Liner/Smudge:
Shu natural brush #5F or synthetic brush #5F. It's a firm haired brush and does a great job by keep the eyeliner in a concentrated spot.
• CoverGirl Product Recommendation: Eye Enhancers
I'll be writing more about these shadows sometime soon. In the meantime, I just want you to know that these shadows are great pops of color that are surprisingly pigmented for mass market products, do blend pretty well and that I've been very impressed by them so far! They have both great "everyday" neutral palettes available as well as a lot of brighter "fun" options.
natural brush #6M. The rounded edge of this brush helps create perfectly kissable lips.
• CoverGirl Product Recommendation: Wetslicks AmazeMint Lip Gloss or Outlast All-Day Lipcolor
While I've used Outlast Lip Color in the past, I still haven't lucked out to find the AmazeMint Glosses available near me. They have Crest's minty taste and help your breath. All of the shades are meant to be a bit sheer, offering a nice hint of color.

Airbnb has said that it expects to boost communities in Europe, which is its biggest market, by an estimated €340bn (£297bn) of economic output by 2020 and that it will support an estimated 1 million jobs across the region by that year.
The home-sharing company, which was founded in 2008 and now operates in more than 65,000 cities across 191 countries, said that local hosts keep 97 per cent of the accommodation charges paid by guests and more than half of guest spending takes place in the communities where they stay.
The typical host on Airbnb in Europe made €2,400 by sharing their space for 27 nights last year, according to the company.
On Thursday, Airbnb, which is valued at about $31bn (£24bn), also said that it was launching a new 'Community Tourism Programme' with the aim of investing €5m in projects "to help preserve and boost the best of local customs, traditions and landmarks that make communities unique".
That fund will be made available to charities, non-profit agencies and community social groups to support local projects.
"We want to work with communities to help boost and preserve the qualities that make them unique," said Chris Lehane, Airbnb's global head of public policy and public affairs.
Airbnb projects that, by 2020, an estimated 24 million stays between hosts and guests from different countries across Europe will take place using the platform.
"I firmly believe there is a special responsibility for platforms and technology companies to project the principles their communities hold dear," Mr Lehane said.
"We see it as our duty and privilege to continue working with communities and leaders in Europe and across the world to help support local families, boost communities and use technology to help bring people together."
Airbnb has enjoyed an explosive expansion since its formation almost a decade ago, but has recently faced challenges in the form of regulatory crackdowns across some countries.
It has also been embroiled in clashes with municipal governments in New York, Barcelona and its home town of San Francisco, but earlier this month Japan's government passed a law that sets out rules for home sharing allowing Airbnb to operate.

2/29 Japanese bank Nomura chooses Frankfurt for EU headquarters after UK's withdrawal

It will seek regulatory approval and find office space before transferring fewer than 100 employees from London to the city, according to the person.

3/29 will.i.am says artificial intelligence will be more disruptive to UK tech than EU withdrawal
The reckless rise of artificial intelligence is going to be much more disruptive for the London technology scene in the longer run than Britain's departure from the EU, according to musician, entrepreneur and philanthropist will.i.am. Speaking at an event celebrating his collaboration with Atom Bank, an app-based digital-only bank launched last year, the founding member of The Black Eyed Peas said that by 2030, Brexit will be "an old school thought" for the UK's rapidly evolving tech industry and AI will present a much more acute challenge.

Some of the world's poorest countries will be hit hardest as climate change affects marine fisheries all over the world, according to a new study. The global fishing industry produces a total catch worth of about $90bn (£71bn) but the warming ocean temperatures are causing many valuable species to shift their usual ranges.

The purchase will be Diageo's biggest since it bought United Spirits for $3.2 billion (£2.5 billion) in 2014.

9/29 The real reason UK employers hire European Union workers
While the end of free movement is presented by politicians as 'taking control', for employers it means quite the reverse – it means a loss of control, it means new barriers to recruitment and, for some, the risk of irreparable damage. In our research at the National Institute for Economic and Social Research (NIESR) before and after the referendum vote we've detected a gradual change in outlook among employers.

21/29 Diamond ring bought for £10 at car boot sale expected to fetch £350,000 at auction - Monday 22 May
A large, diamond ring is expected to fetch £350,000 at auction 30 years after its owner paid £10 for it at a car boot sale, thinking it was a costume jewel. The "exceptionally-sized" stone was presumed not to be real because 19th Century diamonds were not cut to show off their brilliance like today's gems. And so the owner, unaware of its value, wore it for decades, while doing everything from the shopping to the chores.

Commission chief executive, Rebecca Hilsenrath, said: "We have asked the court if it agrees with us that Mr Wilson's lettings policy contains unlawful criteria and, if so, to issue an injunction. "As this is now formal legal action we will release further information at a later date."

25/29 Nestlé foiled by Cadbury as it loses bid to trademark KitKat bar - Wednesday 17 May
KitKat-maker Nestlé has been foiled again, after a UK Court of Appeal ruled that the consumer goods giant cannot trademark the shape of its popular four-fingered chocolate bar. The ruling is the latest in a long running legal battle between the Swiss-based company and its rival Cadbury. Nestlé argues that the KitKat's shape is "iconic" and should be protected by law but Cadbury objects. On Wednesday, the Court of Appeal ruled in favour of Cadbury, dismissing the claim.

27/29 Andy Murray funds company behind world's first foldable bike helmet - Monday May 15
He may be almost unbeatable on the tennis court, but how will Andy Murray fare in the world of investing? On Monday, a company that claims to make the world's first folding bike helmet announced that the tennis pro was one of more than 400 individuals who had helped it raise nearly £700,000 on crowdfunding platform Seedrs. Morpher's bike helmets fold and unfold, meaning that they can easily be slipped into a bag when not in use, catering to cyclists who find normal helmets cumbersome to carry around.
28/29 Morrisons will sell 'wonky avocados' for just 39p from Monday as demand hit record levels - Friday May 12
Morrisons will start selling deformed avocados at a third of the average cost of normally-shaped ones as growing demand and reduced harvests from major producers has pushed up prices in recent weeks. The supermarket said on Friday that it would start selling the misshapen and superficially blemished fruits for 39p each or £2.40 a kilogramme in the majority of its stores across the UK starting from 15 May until the end of the summer. Morrisons claims that its offer is the cheapest on the UK market and compares to an average retail price of £1.05 apiece, which is up from 98p last year.
29/29 Unilever develops technology to prevent billions of plastic sachets from entering into oceans - Thuesday 11 May
Unilever, the consumer goods giant behind brands such as Dove, Ben & Jerry's and Marmite, is making a big push toward more sustainable packaging. The company sells billions of products in single-use sachets each year, including cosmetics and food products, particularly in developing and emerging markets. It says that it has now developed new technology to recycle them, which will prevent packaging from ending up in our oceans or in landfill. Through a system called CreaSolv Process, the plastic from the sachets will be recovered and then used to create new ones for Unilever products – creating a full circular economy approach.
A tourism boom has reportedly cut into Japan's supply of available hotel rooms and helped make the country one of Airbnb's fastest-growing market.
Elsewhere, Airbnb is trying to diversify beyond home-sharing.
In November last year it confirmed that it had a flight-booking tool and an itinerary-planning feature in the works. In February, it acquired a Canadian manager of high-end rentals and services called Luxury Retreats.
Last year it also started offering travel experiences, which aim to provide tourists with access to local communities and places of interest.Reuse content

|The port-injected Ford 5.0's are very reliable. They will accept a carb intake, but the EFI ignition advance is in the computer, so you'll need an older-type distributor. The power level varies from model to model, due to cam & head differences. The '86-'88 T-birds, Cougars, Town Cars, Crown Vics, & Grand Marquis used the standard-output version (150-160hp), & the Mustangs, post-'89 T-birds, & Lincoln Mark VII's used the high-output ones (200-225hp--intake plate says HO). I'm not sure about the '86, but the rest have hydraulic roller cams. If you can get one with the entire EFI system with computer & sensors, etc., I'd give it a try. My '88 T-bird got over 170,000 miles before any EFI stuff went bad, & the computer told me what was wrong with a simple diagnostic procedure with a voltmeter & a Haynes book. I did have to spray some junk off the throttle blade a couple of times, but that's a 5-minute job & it's right on top. EFI does require a high-pressure electric fuel pump, most of which are factory-mounted in the gas tank, which needs to be baffled to prevent fuel starvation (the gas cools & lubricates the pump).
|It is easy to convert a fuel injected 5.0 over to a carb. I have one in my '61 Ranchero. Hands down the 5.0 is a better choice.
Everything comes with the engines and they are running no smoke or noise. So the computer and wiring I'll get with whatever I choose.
Whats involved with converting it to carberator?
I should have also said I don't really care about power and speed. Just reliability and looks. I don't think I'll be getting a 56 ford up to racing speed on my budget.
When dealing with fuel injection, Multi-port is better that a TBI unit. Second, you have to make sure you get all the wiring and the computer and make sure the computer works by getting it tested.
Have you thought about switching out the intake on the 302 and go with carbueration?
Here is alink that might have some good info in it:
Hope this helps!
302 install choice
I've found a few 302/5.0 engines in my local wrecking yards and was wondering whch one would be best. Maybe someone here has a better idea than I do.
The first I found running is out of a lincoln and has TBI. The second I found has the EFI intake. They both run great and the prices are in my ball park.(next to free)
What I was wondering was which would be easier to install into a 50's ford? Mounting it in is no problem. I'm worried about the fuel injection thing. I've never worked on one basicly and was wondering if anyone had a link that might help me out or some good basic ideas. Anything would help.
I would love to find a basic carberated 302 but those are a little hard to find around here. At least running ones are hard to find.
If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it. Or if you have an opinion on if I should stear clear of this fuel injected idea all together.
Thanks in advance.

Wow, your paint job looks very nice. The blaster marks look awesome. Nice job.
How did you add the damage?
Uhm, If I were you, I would trim the armor to become more even with the collar piece, right now it looks way too big for the rest of the armor.
Also, sand down the point on the ab piece if possible.

gay marriage? NO, NEVER, if god wanted it, he'd create "John" from Adams rib now wouldn't he?
and like i've said it (if it's been disscused here, before) children usually grow up to be what their parents are (ackward expressions) so...
a gay marriage and adoptance would be just #1 for society which is already in decline (in terms of reproducing) and as usual, it's the 1st world countries that would like to allow gays to adopt children. (in the 3rd world countryes gays are usually hanged or hide it).
whenever you see this stuff come up, the first word that should come to mind is AGENDA. the gay community says they are 10% of the population. more unbiased estimates are around 3%. 3% of the population engages in a kind of sex that most of us don't condone, but would say nothing about, if it were not shoved down our throat.what is the purpose of shoving homosexuality down the throats of the straight community? why would anyone want to make public their preferences in the bedroom?
they are a part of a larger movement to change the society. in their ideal society there would be no religion. there would be no marriage. no restrictions on abortion and oddly....no death penalty. no restrictions on drug use, open borders, international law would rule. no military, or a much reduced military subject to international law and commanded by the un......these are truly the one world, internationalists. in order to achieve their goal, the social structure of the us must be destroyed. that means destroying institution, especially religions, as quickly as possible. why not start with marriage?to early...i'm rambling :-)
I'm not just talking about what goes on in the bedroom. I am talking marriage. Two people want to get married. What is wrong with that?
So you want to shove your religion down my throat? I suppose you want me to buy a certain type of car that is a certain color just to please you?
No one is talking about destroying marriage. They are trying to get married. And marriage does not mean they are even going to have sex. I know because I have a cousin that can not have sex (that would be consistent with reproduction) but got married. So since normal sex was not an option for this person, what difference does it make who the other person was. (In this case it was a male/female marriage.)
this has been discussed many times, and as usual, same people discuss it.
Now I really have to ask.... any who care to answer...... How has a homosexual person harmed you?
Perhaps they make such a big deal of it because the straights make a big deal about it.
I think Kinky Friedman said it best:"I support gay marriage because I believe they have right to be just as miserable as the rest of us!"

Re: extinction theory
perfect middle school diorama!
tgentry wrote:I see your point here. While the topic of the experiment clearly seems to be bio-mutation, which on the surface seems to be out of the reach of a middle schooler, it's not being approached at a level that would be out of their grasp (like say an advanced report on radioactivity's effect on chromosomes or proteins). Similarly there could be advanced levels of light or plant growth that would be too advanced for middle schoolers, and thus against the rules. OK, you've convinced me.
I'm not I'm following exactly what you've been convinced of but as someone who is a scientist the initial rejection was correct. Part of the requirements for funding agencies and departments is outreach into the community and as a result I have spent a fair amount of time coordinating and presenting for science clubs in our local area.
Any sort of mutation project is well beyond the reach of middle schoolers and junior high even into high school. What isn't beyond middle schoolers is that if you pour bleach on animals they die. The shirt is a poorly shoehorned attempt at a TMNT reference which has absolutely no basis in the theme.
With all of the controversy regarding ethical use of animals, there is no possibility even at the middle school level that kids are taking animals in the attempt to "do stuff to them." It's not responsible and it's not something that should be profited off of as a joke.
It's irresponsible and unethical and the fact that it would be allowed is personally insulting especially given the great lengths that everyone in science from the top down has to go through to ensure that animals are used in responsible ways.

sTyLeS wrote:The original rejection was "Biohazard's effects on human beings is not at a middle school level of science". And since it wasn't changed at all why would the rules all of a sudden have changed?
Plus the rules state: "Keep it at a level you would expect walking into a grade school gym to judge a kid's experiment."
I know I'm probably coming across as a crotchety old man, but it does bother me a bit that there are some who follow the rules and there are those who sidestep them without any repercussions.
I'm really not crotchety, although I probably am a bit older than many on here.
God knows, I make every attempt to follow the derby theme to the letter, to avoid the rejectinator. In this case, it's very difficult for me to see how it's off topic. We have characters at a Science Fair. The name of the derby is "Science Fair". I don't know how much more on target I could get. *shrug* That's how I look at it. But as far as woot's saving grace goes, the reasoning was along the lines of: if a middle schooler approached a experiment with an unsophisticated childlike mindset, then you're in compliance. That's woot speaking. There ya go. Now I'm going outside to smell flowers or something.

I think that goes without saying.
I see the point that a child may try to mutate turtles using bleach, and see it as scientific. However, only a developmentally deficient middle schooler would actually see this as reasonable. A six year old might, but not an 11 year old.
I have to agree that this derby is generally disappointing so far, but that doesn't excuse this entry either. You can dress it up as "a child's view of science" all you want, it's still just a Sirius GPP TMNT reference.

in additive light you can use 3 colors -red, green, blue (which is what computers and tv's use. subtractive light(CMYK) is a bit different, however if you are breaking light through a prism, you will get 7 main color -red-orange-yesllow-green-bue-indigo-violet, not to mention the variety of colors in between.

Project WILD
Flying WILD
Flying WILD is a Project WILD conservation education curriculum for middle-school students sponsored in Georgia by the Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division.
Flying WILD introduces middle-school students to bird conservation through school bird festivals and hands-on classroom activities. Flying WILD helps teachers by providing interdisciplinary, standards-based lessons that engage students in real-world learning. By participating in Flying WILD activities, students will gain opportunities to learn and lead. Half of the activities in Flying WILD are designed to involve students as leaders.
Service learning is also an essential part of Flying WILD. The Flying WILD guide includes suggestions, instructions, and resources for doing service leaning activities, such as conducting a school bird festival and participating in habitat improvement projects. Flying WILD has the potential to help capture the hearts and minds of middle-school students in Georgia by harnessing their natural fascination with birds.

Firefighters douse blaze at residence on Oswegatchie Road
Waterford — Waterford and New London firefighters knocked down a fire at a 2½-story home at 93 Oswegatchie Road Tuesday evening.
No one was hurt in the blaze, but the house suffered significant damage, said Chief Mark Schenking of the Oswegatchie Fire Co. He said one resident was home at the time of the fire and was able to get out and call the fire department.
Responders fought the blaze for about 30 minutes, Schenking said.
The American Red Cross has helped one person with emergency food and clothing needs. Two additional residents of the home will contact the Red Cross today to discuss their needs after the fire.
Investigators were still trying to determine the cause of the fire Tuesday night.

Do you ever just want to know exactly what is taking up the most space on your machine? Have you ever wondered what may be slowing down your performance? Good news! I have located a free program called WinDirStat to help you analyze your drives to see where you could possibly free up some space.
Installing WinDirStat is as easy as accepting the licensing agreement and picking out a few preferences. It installs in a matter of minutes.
When the program first launches, it gives you a list of the drives on your computer to analyze. You can choose individual drives or simply leave it at all drives, which is what I did. Once you have clicked "OK" it begins the process. Now, depending on how much space you are using, and the size of the drives, this can take some time. It only took a few minutes for me, but as we all know every computer is different, so you may need to be patient.
After the initial analyzing of my disk drives. The program displayed a pretty neat color coded visual of my drives. It showed me what type of files were the largest and the most common, along with how much space those files were taking up. The coolest part is that it actually displays your files with their own color depending on what they are. For example, all of my .exe files were teal colored, visually showing me exactly how much space they were taking up.
This program has many useful features for you to utilize. You can use it to automatically delete files or to simply manage all the files on your machine. I would highly recommend it to anyone who simply wants to know where your files are stored and how to improve their performance. Go ahead give it a try. Click here for your free [4] download.

I think I found a breakdown of the Rubies Deluxe costume:
Boba Fett pictures by Sportsshifter - Photobucket
I think I found a breakdown of the Rubies Deluxe costume:
Boba Fett pictures by Sportsshifter - Photobucket
that helmet....Yikes! Thanks for the post. I was looking for detailed pics.
I might be crazy, but it looks like the rocket pack could TOTALLY be salvageable with a decent paint job
Fett in a dumpster? I don't care what condition or who made it... that's blasphemy in my house mister
I would stay away, I saw one of these up close and it is not worth the time and effort. You are way better off buy from the guys on the board!!!!
I didn't say I wanted it, I just said it could be salvageable...
gee, the paintjob on that helmet looks as if a two year old has been given a free reign with thier finger paints. All in all, the costume is all there, and with a new paintjob on some areas it would likely be fine - but for the pricetag associated, you shouldnt have to touch it - it should be first class. velcro looks a little flimsy on alot of areas too..
It's where I started and believe me you will learn the rule "If you buy cheap, you buy twice".
My helmet wasn't even painted as well as the one in the pic. But I have seen some guys make a good go at repainting. Not just the paint job though. The visor is almost transparent, so you can see your face through it. Needs replacing.
Ammo Belt is a rubber and so is the honour sash. Have replaced the belt and sash will have to do for now.
Gauntlets are bad, really bad. Have replaced these with some really nice resin ones.
Jump suit. Not sure what it is made of but have already ordered a new one from Bobamaker. Fabric pulled with one wear.
Armour - this is where it is really shocking. The collar armour doesn't work. It is badly moulded and so does not fit correctly - again replacing. Also the chest plates are flat, as is the one that goes on your stomach. Still working on the wash board stomach, but for 99% of the world, this look bad and clearly doesn't fit.
Knee armour - doesn't look too bad - hideous paint job but the real problem is it is so thin, mine is already cracking in two places and I haven't been out the door in it.
Shoulder armour - not bad but again, crazy paint job.
Cod and Butt armour - Actually fits really well. Salvageable with a decent paint job although I will replace when I have the cash.
Tools - not bad, but not screen accurate - the knife is pretty good.
Cape - Way too small. Replaced.
Gloves - ***. I am not sure who these were modelled on but no good if you have thumbs!
Rocket pack - I personally think is salvageable, for the untrained eye. Yes, it really needs repainting and I will replace in time as it is riveted to the back armour, so you can't take it off.
Ankle spats - again - really bad material, but with a bit of weathering look okay. Mine wear sewn wrong. Quality again missing.
Flak jacket - Does the job but I will have to tailor to fit. Problem with these is that the back armour clips to it, so pulls it back a bit tight.
Not sure if there is anything I missed but be warned, you will only find disappointment, and a waste of time and money putting right.
Oh, just looked through the pics again - Missile has fallen off the gauntlet, as did with mine.
Missed out the wookie braids - they are way too short (about half the length they should be, no way they are staying on your shoulder stuck with a tiny bit of velcro).
Oh I would never get it. My first Jack Sparrow a year ago was a "costume base" - it was $200 for the whole costume and I thought it was a steal.
Then I discovered a costume forum and a year later that $200 changed to $1,500 and everything was replaced except two items:
You can read the entire build here:
Keep To The Code :: View topic - My Jack Sparrow 4.0 - The epic Journey
My motto is everything is done with the following formula: good, fast, cheap. When you want something, you can pick 2 things.
Good and cheap isn't fast
Good and fast isn't cheap and....
Fast and cheap isn't good
I love the transformation. Great details. Just add rum! :-) I will be posting up some photos soon of where my rather poor looking fett started and hopefully, where it should end up looking a lot more like the Fett we know and love.
Currently waiting in for a shipment from Bobamaker for some armour and a flightsuit. Should be working. Just sitting here waiting watching the DHL tracking number only 5 miles down the road now...
*bites nails impatiently*
I also saw this Fett monstrosity in person. For the $$$$$$, I think a person could do much better using the resources on this site.
If I found this in a dumpster I'd leave it there. The real blasphemy is that Rubies was aloud to make another piece of trash (Chewbacca, Vader, Troopers).
Don Post use to do the same thing in their magazine ads. You'd see a decent looking mask in the ad, but when you'd see it in person it looked like a shopping bag with eye holes... actually a shopping bag looked better.
OK...gotta admit....I got suckered into the Rubies costume. It's what I like to call a NFF-FFN (Nice From Far - Far From Nice). If you back up to a distance of 30 feet at night and take a pic with a low quality camera....it looks OK (not good...just OK). So I am slowly but surely building a new one from the resources on this site. Darmac's breakdown of all the parts was fairly accurate. Oh - as long as we are on the subject of ****** products...CABoots now makes their boots out of suede. I started a thread about this somewhere on here. I have no idea how to link to another post or thread, so just look for it if you want to see a picture of the horrid work!
I laugh at you rubies owners. I got SFP, which makes Rubies look like Bobamaker. I went to the local mall in it, and I believe I may have caused the world's first case of Contagious Blindness. I don't really laugh at you, cause I know how much it sucks to buy something and then find out you've been had, but really until you've owned a set of SFP Fett, you really cannot really experience the horribleness that it represents.
Hey Mandosoldier, Just saw your SFP armour on an old thread. I feel for you brother. That is some poor quality tat. I guess we live and learn. Just putting some finishing touches to some new armour from a proper Fett craftsman - pics to follow.
I just wanna add (and yes, I posted on most every other rubies thread) that I have seen this close up as well. In fact, the jetpack is laying in my spare bedroom right now. It's a buddy of mine's who got the complete set for like 200. I have the ManofWar jetpack and it's night and day. Even before I got my MOW, I was given the chance at recieving the Rubies jetpack for free to use on my ESB Fett WIP and declined. I have scratch built alot of stuff and fixed alot of stuff too, and I don't see how you can make this workable for 501st standards. I wouldn't even wear it for Halloween.
On other stuff, the cod is usable, but like the rest of the armor, you can literally tear it like a piece of paper. The shin tools look ok, but inaccurate to the point that the one with the ali rods (right?) wont fit in Ladysewforus pockets. The vest looks ok at a distance, but is that Halloween costuming foam, so good for maybe 2 troops, as my friend who has used it for his Merc has discovered.
The thing I think is criminal is Rubies only cared about their steep profit margin with this. Having mass production capabilities, they could have outsourced design to a few people on here and made it screen accurate for roughly the same cost. They might have been able to do some stuff we can't like a lighter, thinner (and therefore cheaper to make ) jetpack. If Museum Replicas does it right (cause you know this is coming...), then they can make a screen accurate Fett for $2000.

MEMPHIS, TN -- Vending machines in government buildings in greater Memphis are being restocked with snacks that meet the National Automatic Merchandising Association's Fit Pick nutritional standards. The new machine menus complement the Healthy Shelby awareness plan implemented by Shelby County Mayor Mark H. Luttrell Jr. earlier this year.
The change impacts 172 vending machines located in 17 buildings held by the Shelby County government. Under the mayor's plan, 50% of the foods can have no more than 35% of calories from fat and 10% of calories from saturated fat.
The Fit Pick program, unveiled by the vending association in 2008, is based on the dietary recommendations of the American Heart Association. It includes stickers that are placed in front of qualifying product and clings that explain the nutrition standard.
Fit Pick is part of NAMA's Balanced for Life, a program that educates consumers about the elements of a balanced diet and the importance of physical activity.
"Providing an effective public health program is one of my top priorities," said Luttrell. "It makes good sense for Shelby County government to promote a healthier lifestyle for our employees and visitors."
Kenneth Robinson, M.D., health policy advisor to the mayor, said the county government is trying to educate the public about the dangers of obesity and the connection it has to high blood pressure and chronic diseases. "Healthier choices at the vending machines emphasize the importance of our message to stay fit," he said.
NAMA's Fit Pick program has been widely adopted by businesses, municipal and state governments and school districts across the country. A bipartisan think-tank led by former Sens. Bob Dole and Tom Daschle recently issued a report citing the U.S. Army's pilot of NAMA's Fit Pick program and urging its wider implementation. | SEE STORY

Auburn teen, Kelsea Campbell, gearing up for national Miss Teen USA competition
By ADAM SWIFT
Union Leader Correspondent | July 16. 2013 5:22PM
"I fell in love with the pageant," said Campbell, 18. Over the next five years, Campbell prepared to compete in the pageant herself, and last November, those years of preparation paid off.
Although she did not compete in any pageants prior to last November, Campbell said the maturing process over the past several years gave her the maturity she needed to win the crown.
As part of the competition process, pageant participants need to have a platform they are passionate about. For Campbell, her platform of Alzheimer's Disease research was inspired by her grandparents.
"With the events I do, I love to see their faces when I walk into the room with the crown," she said. "They look up to that and I like to be a positive influence in their lives."
For the time being, when she is not preparing for Miss Teen USA, Campbell said she can be found out on the links working on her golf game.
Campbell's friends have also been a great support for her as she makes her way to the Bahamas.
"My friends are so excited and are offering their support," she said. "I couldn't ask for better friends and family."
At Manchester Central, she was a varsity cheerleader for four years and competed in the hurdles and high jump on the track team and was an active member of the school's Key Club.
Vote for Miss Teen USA at missuniverse.com/missteenusa. The competitor with the most votes automatically makes it into the semifinal round of 15.
