When I returned to Forrester in mid-2010, one of the first blog posts I wrote was about Oracle's new roadmap for SPARC and Solaris, catalyzed by numerous client inquiries and other interactions in which Oracle's real level of commitment to future SPARC hardware was the topic of discussion. In most cases I could describe the customer mood as skeptical at best, and panicked and committed to migration off of SPARC and Solaris at worst. Nonetheless, after some time spent with Oracle management, I expressed my improved confidence in the new hardware team that Oracle had assembled and their new roadmap for SPARC processors after the successive debacles of the UltraSPARC-5 and Rock processors under Sun's stewardship.
Two and a half years later, it is obvious that Oracle has delivered on its commitments regarding SPARC and is continuing its investments in SPARC CPU and system design as well as its Solaris OS technology. The latest evolution of SPARC technology, the SPARC T5 and the soon-to-be-announced M5, continue the evolution and design practices set forth by Oracle's Rick Hetherington in 2010 — incremental evolution of a common set of SPARC cores, differentiation by variation of core count, threads and cache as opposed to fundamental architecture, and a reliable multi-year performance progression of cores and system scalability.

... And where are Obamas transcripts from college? ...
I think that the VP pick can only have a negative impact on a race like Palin did.
there was no excitement over McCain until Palin. He was never going to win
I think that the VP pick can only have a negative impact on a race like Palin did... In the past the VP pick hasn't ever helped a candidate. The VP doesn't have any Constitutional roll except to preside over senate proceedings and cast a tie breaking vote if it ever came to that.
If he never had a chance to WIN then why did the all knowing Republicans nominate him
I know enough about Romney and his politics to say that he, under no circumstance, will allow the VP candidate take center stage. He put him on the ticket because he was one of the few names floating around who hasn't been seen in the media in the past bashing Romney.He is a safe pick. I think it was actually a match planned back in March when Romney and Ryan were meeting frequently and Ryan endorsed Romney right before the Primary. I think it may have been pre-arranged agreement.
which is a shift from what Romney has been preaching up til this point.
The Mass Universal Healthcare act is going to really haunt Romney during this election... his prior stances on gun control will also haunt him.
I think Ryan is a Bear on the Budget Committee.
I don't think he would be a bad President; I just don't think he has much chance of winning. His policies as Gov were very liberal in nature,
In place of Obamacare, Mitt will pursue policies that give each state the power to craft a health care reform plan that is best for its own citizens.
states that he wants to give the power back to the State's which is really doing nothing as far as replacing it.
QuoteI think that the VP pick can only have a negative impact on a race like Palin did.except that she didn't. there was no excitement over McCain until Palin. he was never going to win, but he had a better chance with her than without.
when he talks about replacing, i sure do hope he's not talking about another federal program!! replace it with the reforms we need like tort reform, insurance requirement reforms. get us back toward a market based system and let the states do what works best for each state. replacing one federal mess with another is not what i want.
Going back isn't Replacement. Romney and Ryan need to get on the same page or they will have big problems.
... As for the college transcripts, could somebody please provide me a link to George W Bush's college transcripts, or Dan Quayle's, or Sarah Palin's?

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Silver Surfer
Whoa. You said you used the stock lifters?!?! You should never ever use a flat tappet cam with used lifters. The old lifters are married to the old lobes of the old cam. I think it is safe to say that you probably have irreversibly damaged your cam by reusing the lifters.
But back to DoubleVision's point: I think the easiest thing to do is replace the valve springs. With the correct ones. You can do this with the correct tool without removing the heads. Here are the springs.
|The casting number is under the valve cover .
I'm very late in my response so I apologize for that first and foremost.
Still haven't fixed the issues. It's not my daily driver and my wallet says to wait a bit before purchasing anything not a necessity.
The pistons I have are standard pistons so I would assume they are somewhat dished.
Where would I find the casting numbers on the heads?
What would be a better fix? New heads? New valvetrain? new heads and new valve train? New cam?
Another problem I'm having is it seems to be pulling the choke by itself. I've googled it every way to sunday and can't figure that one out. I should have just put a cummins 4bt diesel in in the first place.
Replace the cam.Another problem that can happen is "VALVE FLOAT".This can accure at high rpm.High rev's on stock springs and the spring can't control the valve when opening and closing.Worst that can happen is to break a spring and drop a valve into the cyclinder.Good luck.
|Greg T
DV is dead nuts on, but I would like to add a bit. Since I'm nver one to leave something alone, I thought I would throw my 2 cents in. If I were doing this, I would think back on what pistons I put in there. Also, shoot out the casting numbers of the heads so we can all see what the chamber size is. They could range anywhere from 58cc to 76cc.
If you remember having dished pistons you could opt for a decent set of heads with 58cc chambers...or at the very least, 64cc. If cost is a prohibitive factor, you could always grab a set of 305 HO heads like the 416s to bump up that compression. Yes, they will require some mods to be able to you use the cam you have.
I would also get a dist curve kit and use one silver spring and one blue spring to get mechanical advance all in by roughly 3000 rpm. If you can find someone who knows how, or you can research a way to do it yourself, you could limit the mech advance to about a 14* or 16* swing. @ at 16* swing, you could set your initial timing at 20* , use a 10* vac can to make that 30* and you'll have a WOT timing at about 36* above 3000 rpm.
That will give you a nice snappy little SBC. Now, if cost is a huge factor and performance is on the back burner, stab a stock-like cam in there, or the one that DV recommended, and call it a day.
The problem is obvious. You can`t run stock valve springs on a big cam. The springs must match the cam. Why is because right off idle, the aggressive lobes of the high performance cam causes the springs that are too weak to create valve bounce. Through the RPM band power is way down from where it should be due to this. You said you didn`t have flat top pistons, which do you have? Dish top? Dome top? If the pistons are dished and with stock heads your compression ratio with a stock replacement head gasket is around
7.9:1. That cam has to have at least 9.5:1. You can`t stick a big cam in a stock engine and expect it to work correctly. The high RPM stutter can be caused by many things, but I`m willing to bet it`s caused by valve float as the stock springs can no longer stabilize the valves on a cam that big at upper RPMs. The easiest fix would be to swap cams to something alot smaller, a edelbrock performer plus cam would work and it would live with stock valve springs. But every cam should use it`s matching springs.
Lastly the rich idle is caused by the base timing being too low. Now the carbs throttle blades are so far open to get it to idle with the big cam the butterflies are off the idle circuit slots which is causing the carb to draw from
the boosters at idle, causing what I call a "runny nose"
The timing should be 12 degrees before top dead center with vacuum advance disconnected and plugged. Afterwards, reconnect the vac advance to a full time manifold souce, this is a source that pulls vacuum full time, including at idle. Recheck timing, it should be 18 to 24 degrees before top dead center. When you connect the vac advance to a manifold souce the first thing it`s going to do is idle up, then you lower the idle speed on the carb and it places it back on the idle slots.
Newbie with 355 issues. Please no flames
Hello all I've been lurking on the site for quite a while now and have gotten tons of tips and had many problems solved by reading other posts but I haven't been able to pin point this one so I finally registered to post.
Here's a little back ground info. I rebuilt a 350 to and put in my cj-7 a few years back with help and guidance from a mentor/friend of mine. It was my first complete engine build so as I look back I wish some components were researched a little more but hindsight is 20/20.
4 bolt main 350 from a 1979 K20
bored .030 over (355 now)
stock heads, valve springs, rockers, push rods, and lifters
Do NOT have flat top pistons
Edelbrock performer intake with performer 1405 600cfm carb.
brand new HEI ignition with stock spec ac delco plugs
comp cams xe274h cam (230/236)
hedman headers
timing set to 14 btdc (still learing about total timing so I dunno what its at)
runs very rich
has a bad high rpm studder when "winding it out"
I've read many problems of people running rich with the 600 edelbrocks so thats a concern but not first priority.
This studder is driving me crazy. It seems like I can run 1st gear up to about 4500 or 5k with plenty of pull but when I go to 2nd it seems to studder very bad until I let off the throttle completely and ease back into it. Im no where near a pro at this but I can't figure it out. Is that valve float, due to stock springs with the aggressive cam? Is the cam too big? Carb too small? I'm lost.
Sorry If I used any wrong terminology or sound like just a plain dufus as I'm still learning.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Huge Study Of Diet Indicts Fat And Meat
By JANE E. BRODY
Published: May 8, 1990
EARLY findings from the most comprehensive large study ever undertaken of the relationship between diet and the risk of developing disease are challenging much of American dietary dogma. The study, being conducted in China, paints a bold portrait of a plant-based eating plan that is more likely to promote health than disease.
The study can be considered the Grand Prix of epidemiology. Sixty-five hundred Chinese have each contributed 367 facts about their eating and other habits that could ultimately help them and Americans preserve their health and prolong their lives. The data alone fill a volume of 920 pages, to be published next month by Cornell University Press. Among the first tantalizing findings are these: Obesity is related more to what people eat than how much. Adjusted for height, the Chinese consume 20 percent more calories than Americans do, but Americans are 25 percent fatter. The main dietary differences are fat and starch. The Chinese eat only a third the amount of fat Americans do, while eating twice the starch. The body readily stores fat but expends a larger proportion of the carbohydrates consumed as heat. Some of the differences may be attributable to exercise. The varying levels of physical activity among the Chinese were measured, but the data have not yet been analyzed.
Reducing dietary fat to less than 30 percent of calories, as is currently recommended for Americans, may not be enough to curb the risk of heart disease and cancer. To make a significant impact, the Chinese data imply, a maximum of 20 percent of calories from fat - and preferably only 10 to 15 percent - should be consumed.
Eating a lot of protein, especially animal protein, is also linked to chronic disease. Americans consume a third more protein than the Chinese do, and 70 percent of American protein comes from animals, while only 7 percent of Chinese protein does. Those Chinese who eat the most protein, and especially the most animal protein, also have the highest rates of the ''diseases of affluence'' like heart disease, cancer and diabetes.
A rich diet that promotes rapid growth early in life may increase a woman's risk of developing cancer of the reproductive organs and the breast. Childhood diets high in calories, protein, calcium and fat promote growth and early menarche, which in turn is associated with high cancer rates. Chinese women, who rarely suffer these cancers, start menstruating three to six years later than Americans. Dairy calcium is not needed to prevent osteoporosis. Most Chinese consume no dairy products and instead get all their calcium from vegetables. While the Chinese consume only half the calcium Americans do, osteoporosis is uncommon in China despite an average life expectancy of about 70 years, just five few years less than the American average.
These findings are only the beginning. Dr. T. Colin Campbell, a nutritional biochemist from Cornell University and the American mastermind of the Chinese diet study, predicts that this ''living laboratory'' will continue to generate vital findings for the next 40 to 50 years.
The study, started in 1983 to explore dietary causes of cancer, has been expanded to include heart, metabolic and infectious diseases. Dr. Chen Junshi of the Chinese Institute of Nutrition and Food Hygiene organized the survey to cover locations from the semitropical south to the cold, arid north.
Exacting, Labor-Intensive Study
The extensive volume of raw data and its counterpart on computer tape will be available to any scientist to use as raw material for medical research.
It is an exacting, labor-intensive study, initially financed by the National Cancer Institute, that probably could not have been done anywhere except China. For nowhere else can accurate mortality statistics be combined with data from people who live the same way in the same place and eat the same foods for virtually their entire lives.
Nowhere else is there a genetically similar population with such great regional differences in disease rates, dietary habits and environmental exposures. For example, cancer rates can vary by a factor of several hundred from one region of China to another. These large regional variations in China highlight biologically important relationships between diet and disease.
And nowhere else could researchers afford to hire hundreds of trained workers to collect blood and urine samples and spend three days in each household gathering exact information on what and how much people eat, then analyzing the food samples for nutrient content.
'The Whole Diet Panoply'
''The total cost in U.S. dollars of this project - $2.3 million plus 600 person-years of labor contributed by the Chinese Government - is a mere fraction of what it would have cost to do the same study here,'' Dr. Campbell noted. And unlike typically circumscribed American studies that examine one characteristic as a factor in one disease, the Chinese investigation ''covers the whole diet panoply as it relates to all diseases.''
Dr. Mark Hegsted, emeritus professor of nutrition at Harvard University and former administrator of human nutrition for the United States Department of Agriculture, said: ''This is a very, very important study - unique and well done. Even if you could pay for it, you couldn't do this study in the United States because the population is too homogeneous. You get a lot more meaningful data when the differences in diet and disease are as great as they are in the various parts of China.''

Now, pictures:
10/22/11 - Initial setup
10/24/11 - Added HC
I was going to dry start the HC but after two days, I grew impatient and filled the tank and cranked up the CO2!
I also removed the actinic bulb and replaced it with a 6,700K bulb. The light is now running 10,000K and 6,700K bulbs.
11/5/11 - Added Seiryu Stones
In the process of adding the stones, I kicked up a bunch of the HC, which wasn't quite rooted yet. Spent like a year planting them back in the substrate! The water also became cloudy for a day or two due to the new additions.
11/21-23/11 - Added Shrimps
Also added Downoi and some Eriocaulon Cinereums just for kicks. There's also some Dwarf Riccia Fluitans in there, supposedly. The person who sold it to me claims it's Dwarf but I'm not entirely convinced. I am no longer running CO2 in this tank due to having expensive shrimps. All plants are growing just fine, however.
1/7/12 - Added Tangerine Tigers & Orange Eye Blue Tigers
It was hard to capture the OEBTs so I'll have to try again another day.
Here's a PFR with a OEBT photobombing from the bush:
Found a pregnant CRS:
Red eggs?
Came home to this tonight:
Starting to really consider dropping the water level down a little or getting a lid.
Dinner time:
That's a Erio "Mini" in case you're wondering. Not entirely sure it's the accurate name but it's the best I've got at this point.
My shrimp can poop faster than your shrimp:
1/14/12 - OEBT & CBS with Red Hinomaru
CBS with red hinomaru (
Another berried CRS!
Found a dead, berried TT tonight
I might try artificial hatching on these eggs. Currently reading this:
2/8/2012 - Shrimpocolypse?
Randomly lost 6 shrimps last night. Unsure of what's going on but I tested the water parameters and everything was more or less within the acceptable range. A little puzzled.
Bonus update
DIY stands FTW. Total cost for material ~$90. Total work time: 6-8 hours.
2/12/12 - Tank is currently in detox mode.
Due to the recent crash in the tank, I am going to remove most, if not all, shrimps and detox this tank. In the past two weeks, I've lost more than 70% of the shrimps in this tank and really don't care to lose any more. I've relocated all the survivors to the breeder tanks. I'm hoping to get some K-14s and black tigers in this thing once everything settles down.
In the meantime, I'm doing monster water changes daily with pure RO and will dose the hell out of this thing. I might up-root all the HC and replant them. This is gonna mucho sucko.
2/13/12 - RO/DI System
New toy arrived this afternoon. Not sure what to do with all this mess yet but I hope it's not too painful to put together. 300 GPD FTW.
New crypts from Xue and Nick. Plants look great. Thanks, guys!
2/15/12 Update
I was able to install the RO/DI unit without much trouble (was quite easy actually). I was able to make 5 gallons of RO/DI water in about 30 minutes with
less than a 1:1 waste ratio
As you can see from the below image, the left jug is the RO water and the right jug is the waste water. Something MUST be wrong with this. I was under the assumption that the waste ratio is usually 2:1.
Anyone wanna chime in with your experience with these systems?
2/16/12 - Rescape
I decided that it was a good time to do a minor rescape of the tank since most of the shrimps have been relocated. The HC was getting out of hand so I uprooted a large amount and replanted them elsewhere. The right side of the tank will be uprooted tonight and replanted. There's a chance I may get lazy and just mow it down instead.
Also decided to add more plants as the HC was starting to bore me.
Crypt. Keei "Jambusan"
Sorry, Xue.. I just had to do it.
New plants
Added Erio. Japan, Erio. Aussie II, Erio. Kimberly, Erio. Cinereum, and Erio. "Mini" and an adult Crypt. Keei "Jambusan" to the middle of the tank.
Bonus Update
2/27/12 - RAOK Glass Feeding Dish
Won an ROAK by h4n for this sweet glass feeding dish. Thanks again, Han!
2/29/12 - Erios
Eriocaulon Japan
Eriocaulon "Mini"
The C. Bullosa acquired on 2/13/12 has sprouted a new leaf! It's the leaf on the right, in focus. Only Crypt collectors will understand the excitement of this as C. Bullosas are notoriously slow growers. ROI = 25%!
2/29/12 - Part 2, Red Rili Shrimps
Eh, why not..? More pics!
3/5/12 - Bucephalandra
Finally jumped on the Buce train. I didn't understand why these little suckers were so expensive and popular so I had to get a few to see what the fuss was about. I have to admit, I'm genuinely surprised how pretty they look in person. Here's to hoping they don't completely destroy my wallet..
Buce. "Sekadau 2"
A closer view
Crypt. Bullosa "Bario"
Added a new C. Bullosa from Bario to the collection. The new leaf on this has a really nice red tint to it.
Rotala Macrandra
Berried Red Rili
3/6/12 - More Buce
And the rest of them..
Buce. "Silver Powder"
Berried Red Rili
3/19/12 - Shrimp Explosion
I haven't updated this journal in a little bit but here's what's happening in my neighborhood..
PFR population exploded
They're still juveniles/young adults but the color is getting really nice.
Young SSS CRS
These are from my breeder tanks.
I think it's safe to assume that whatever went through and wiped out my population is no longer present. With that said, this tank is no longer in detox mode. I will slowly add back the more expensive stock. I might end up selling off some stock to fund a new motorcycle helmet.
It's riding season!
3/20/12 - Moar Shrimps
Just a sneak peek at what's been brewing..
Wine Red
Black King Kong
Terrible picture, I know. I'll grab a better one when I can get the little dude to stay still for more than a millisecond.
Familiar Faces
Some old timers in the mix..
The CRS from above is hanging out on some Rose Moss I acquired from Jimko. Very legit seller.
Just an update on my CRS population. There's a BKK in there in case you were wondering.
3/31/12 - New Scape!
I got a a little bored with the old layout so I just decided to redo the tank. I replaced all the substrate with some new ADA Amazonia (Multi-type). As you can see, there's still traces of the old scape, but I've added some Manzanita to the equation.
I replanted the HC on the right side so it'll take a few weeks to grow in. I'm not 100% satisfied with the layout of the Seiryu stones at the moment, so I might still tweak it a little. The left side of the tank now has a Eriocaulon Sieboldianum by the trunk of the Manzanita branch.
That thing is huge
. Also got some stems of Ludwigia inclinata "Red" behind the branch. I trimmed the stems down quite a bit to let them grow out. There are currently no shrimps in this tank. I'll add them back in when it's cycled.
So, without further ado, presenting:
4/4/12 - Ludwigia inclinata var. verticillata 'Pantanal'
Added a few stems of L. Pantanal and a few crypts (Hudoroi & Kota Tingii) to the tank. Really liking the Pantanal. This may be one of my favorite stems thus far. You can see it on the left side of the tank, behind the Manzanita branch and to the right of the Ludwigia inclinata 'Red'.
I added an inch or two of Aqua Soil to that section to raise the stems up a little. I may use that section for rare crypts later on if I decide to remove the plants. I figured crypts would appreciate the extra depth of substrate. Just planning ahead.
Tonight's FTS:
4/5/12 - More L. Pantanal
This is how I keep the stones clean.
I use an old electric toothbrush and just go to town on it. Fairly painless and much easier than trying to take them out. You may also notice the glass dish on the left side of the stone. If you're having a hard time keeping your newly planted HC rooted to the substrate, just put one of those down for a day or two and it should do the trick.
So fresh and so clean, clean.
4/9/12 - Another Rescape
I wasn't satisfied with the right side of the tank, so I've decided to redo it. I removed all the stones and in place of it, added one large one. I was trying to create a ridge, or cliff (wall) look. I'm still not all that satisfied with the outcome, so I may still tweak it if I can find the right stones. I eventually want to build a wall to have a very distinct elevation on the right, then maybe have some more wood hang over it. If I can't find any nice driftwood pieces, then I might settle for a plant that'll creep, like Ludwigia cf. Suffruticosa. Or maybe I'll try guiding whatever plants I have into hanging over the "wall." I currently have about 4.5" of substrate on this side of the tank.
The middle section now has been filled with more HC. It's once again a nightmare planting that stuff but it's well worth the hassle once everything grows in. Overall, I'm much more satisfied with how the tank looks now. The transition from the left to the right side seems to work better.
Sorry for all the soda pop bubbles in the tank--my CO2 was running and I had just finished a water change.
Relocated the crypts. C. Kota Tinggi is now in front against Xue's recommendations. It just looks too nice to be hidden in the back. Maybe it'll be relocated if it ever gets too big or out of control. Behind the C. Kota Tinggi is a C. Hudoroi. You can't see it in these photos, but between the two C. Hudoroi is a Erio. Matto Grosso. I didn't want to have it there but it had such an extensive root system that there was nowhere else to I could have placed it. I'll likely relocate it once it picks up. It was heavily pruned and is a little fragile at the moment.
Ludwigia inclinata var. "Pantanal"
4/9/12 - Epic Picture Time
Got some new plants in today, so I decided to take a few pictures. Then I took a few more. Then things started spinning out of control and I forgot why I was taking pictures to begin with, so I took a couple more just for good measure. Oops.
C. Kota Tinggi. Most likely a new leaf coming up, but that'd be awesome if it was a spathe. I'll keep an eye on it and will update accordingly.
New plants (C. Uenoi, C. Keei, and a relocated C. Hudoroi). Thanks, Xue! The C. Hudoroi is sprouting up a new leaf, in the middle.
And this is when things got out of hand.
Along comes a king..
My Fluval Edge tank
Shrimps are eating this in all of the above photos.
Om nom nom indeed
. This stuff must be laced with crack and infused with meth. The shrimps were literally fighting over it. It didn't help that I only placed one piece in for 19287318273987 shrimps. Thanks for the food, Jake!

Emory & Henry College is pleased to offer you Net Cost Calculator service to help you understand what your likely net costs and/or scholarship awards will be for the academic year.
All colleges and universities are required to publish the total estimated cost of attendance, including tuition, room, board (meal plan) and a reasonable estimate of personal expenses such as books, supplies — even "travel funds" so you can get back and forth to home during semester breaks.
You can reduce your costs for some expenses. For example, many students rent textbooks or shop online and save up to 75% of college bookstore prices. By doing this, a typical science major might spend a total of $400 for an entire year rather than $750–$1,000. There are also various meal plans and residence hall choices. The net cost calculator uses a standard meal plan and standard double-occupancy, air-conditioned residence hall. Your actual costs might be lower or higher, depending upon your specific situation and the choices you ultimately make for a meal plan, residence hall room, and source for textbooks.
Please remember that this is an estimate and the accuracy of the results depend upon what information you (the student and your parents/guardians) enter. What you'll see at the end of the process is both a range of awards you might expect, and an estimate of the likely merit scholarship, need-based grant and other forms of financial aid that your self-reported information suggests you are eligible to receive.
Any student who seeks need-based financial aid must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The form is available beginning January 1st at www.fafsa.gov.
If you have any questions about the Net Cost calculators, please contact us at 800-848-5493 or .

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
Portland, Oregon-On February 5 and 6, Multnomah Biblical
Seminary's Institute of Intercultural Studies: New
Wine, New Wineskins will be sponsoring its third
annual "Social Justice Conference." This year's keynote
speaker will be Dr. Raymond Bakke, Executive Director
of International Urban Associates, and a leading expert
in urban ministries in America and abroad.
Dr. Bakke will address God's heart for the city and
challenge conference attendees to reach out to their
communities with God's love and compassion. While in
Portland, Dr. Bakke will speak at select venues such
as Multnomah, Reed College and First Covenant Church.
The events will focus on structural evil and the call
for systemic change. Just as Dr. Frankenstein's creation
turned against his master, our own creations can begin
to control our lives, shaping our values and behaviors,
and impacting us in negative ways. For example, technology,
urban planning, ideological shifts and gentrification
can foster evil. Evangelical Christians are prone to
emphasize personal guilt and responsibility and downplay
accountability in the public arena. We need to be aware
of factors such as these and their potential effects
on our society, providing an effective response.
Events open to the general public include "Compassion
and Social Justice," held at First Covenant Church at
45th and Burnside in Portland on February 5 from 7:00-9:00
p.m., and "Principalities and Powers," a forum held
at Multnomah Biblical Seminary on February 6 from 2:45-9:00
A preacher, teacher, executive director and inner city
missionary, Dr. Bakke has personally led or served as
a major resource leader for urban ministry consultations
in more than 200 large cities on six continents. He
has authored "The Urban Christian," a groundbreaking
book on urban ministry which has been translated into
seven foreign languages, "A Theology as Big as the City,"
and "The Expanded Mission of City Center Churches."
Dr. Bakke will be joined at the forum, "Principalities
and Powers," on February 6, by several other noted speakers
such as Dr. Leroy Haynes, President of North Portland
Bible College; Dr. Richard White, Assistant Professor
in Urban Studies at Portland State University; Mr. Ronn
Elzinga, Partner in the Law Firm of Ronn Elzinga and
Associates; Professor David Needham, Professor at Multnomah
Bible College and Multnomah Biblical Seminary; Josh
Butler, M.Div. student, Multnomah Biblical Seminary;
and Dr. Paul Metzger, Assistant Professor at Multnomah
Biblical Seminary and Director of New Wine, New Wineskins.
For the February 6 event, there will be a suggested
donation of $5 at the door. The conference will be located
at Multnomah Biblical Seminary's Travis-Lovitt Hall.
Doors will open at 2:30 p.m. For more information, contact
Multnomah at 503.251.6767 or email@example.com.
Please check out our Web site www.new-wineskins.org
for other future events.
The Institute of Intercultural
Studies: New Wine, New Wineskins, directed by Dr. Paul
Metzger, is an official program of Multnomah Biblical
Seminary, and is dedicated to bringing Christ to contemporary

when you say it is stuck in neutral, do you mean with the engine off and the wheels blocked it can't be shifted into any gear? even if the car is rocked back and forth slightly? if that is the case then there are more problems than a stuck clutch. possibly the shift tower mechanism is worn out or siezed up as well.
on the clutch, for sure check the aesy stuff first. is the slave cylinder siezed? does the clutch fork move by hand if the slave cylinder's pushrod is removed? can you see the release bearing moving through the inspection hole? if all this checks out, then you probably have a disc rusted to the input shaft/flywheel/ pressure plate.
|Unfortunately it's stuck in nuetral and the pedal won't depress. I told him that he might try disconnecting the slave cylinder pushrod from the actuator arm and then lightly press the pedal to see if the slave moves. At least that would confirm its a mechanical problem and not something in the hydraulics. It be a heck of a lot easier if it was hydraulic. But he should be able to slide it into a gear without the clutch and then maybe try these ideas.
Do not try to move that clutch until you get a look at it visually!
being as i find barn finds all the time that havent run in years i can tell you from experience its a rusted input shaft/pressureplate and flywheel.
if you want to try to break it freee this is what usuualy works for me when i see its not too bad.
jack the car up and put the rearend on jackstands.
place some blocks infront of the front tires and fire that baby up and get her to about 40 mph and slam on those brakes to try to help break it free a little do it a few times and try working the pedal a little.
this is assuming that it is stuck in a gear and not in N pistion. good luck!!!
stuck clutch
A friend traded for a stock 34 ford and after it sat in his garage a couple years found the clutch stuck. I started the engine in neutral, warmed it up then pushed it put into the street and in gear with the clutch pedal down fired it up for a short burn out. on the second full throttle burn it broke the clutch loose We figured that it had not been driven since the flywheel was resurfaced and a new clutch installed. the coolant had been absorbed into the flywheel and bonded the friction material.. I slipped the clutch on a drive around the block to burn the rest of it off,, no more problems.
|There is also a potability that the throw-out bearing is frozen on the trans. If you can get under the supported vehicle and the inspection cover is large enough. with a hi-quality penetrating oil squirt the be-jesus out of it and let it set. Movement of the clutch petal might free it.
You might get it loose by pulling/pushing it in gear while depressing the clutch pedal. There's a chance the clutch friction material will come loose from the disc in the process, though.
If you can safely get under it (support it redundantly on jack stands), you might be able to pry the clutch apart. Same thing on losing the friction material in the process, and it won't be easy because of the lack of room to maneuver unless you have access to a lift.
Frozen clutch?
My buddy has a 1969 Alfa Romeo that hasn't been started in over 20 years. Its been stored indoors and is in great shape. He's preparing to start it and finds that the clutch pedal will only go down about 1/2" and then hits a brick wall as he describes it. It's a hydraulic clutch. It sounds to me like the clutch/flyweel is frozen. Does that seem right? If so, is there a way that anyone has used to jar it loose safely? Thanks for any help.

Aw, we just have the regular ol squirrels around here, tons of them but nothing exciting like you guys.I did see a bunch of strange little ones and I could not decide they were chipmunks or a squirrels at a campground last year and the ranger told me it is what they call a chirrel, which is a cross between the two species.They were very cute. So there is my exciting squirrel story. Oh and last month I was sitting on a chair watching my chickens antics when a squirrel ran down the tree next to me and it had a tiny little baby squirrel in its mouth.I have never seen that happen before, I don't know if it was moving out or if it needed food and didn't have a babysitter.
So what, my tree wasn't good enough for her?! humph!!

Agreed. It is the point I have been trying to make. My belief is that when you take into account the weight of the material itself it is questionable whether steel is a good choice of material.
Given that it is a high maintenance material I don't quite see the point.
As for hitting shipping containers how many steel boats return to port each year with harrowing tales of encounters with containers ? Precious few I'd guess. Its a beat up methinks.
|Not to be trite, but the Titanic was steel. Is steel really as necessary as some believe? I've also seen fiberglass sailboats that were rammed in a race and still sailed home all busted up. No doubt that steel is more durable, but I wonder if there is a false sense of security. I suspect a submerged ocean container could rip a hole down the side of a steel vessel as well.
sweet rides
those pics above are some sweet rides.
My only experience with steel boats is working on my friend's older steel hulled houseboat. It's not that you worry about it rusting through from the outside, but they rust through from the inside in hard to reach places. You need to religiously check the anodes and stay on top of any rust ASAP. Good chance that if you find a used one, the owner will be looking to get rid of it because the rust is getting out of control, and will try to hide the worst spots.
If you do find one get a surveyor with steel boat experience.
IMO an aluminum hulled sailboat would be the bees knees. Still electrolysis is a major problem on aluminum boats, but I think making sure the bottom is painted and touched up is what you worry about and not that it'll rust from the inside out.
Back to houseboats on fresh water, most boatyards won't touch a steel hulled one because their hulls get real thin in spots and can't support their weight on the slings when they get pulled out. Owners are reluctant to let you take it out of the water for survey because of that, and so will you when it comes time for you to sell and get a bigger one(there will come a time).
Pro's....sweet boat, unique, strudy, seaworthy
Con's...expensive, more difficult to maintain, very hard to finance(if you need to), insure, and triple hard to sell, oh and Rust Never Sleeps.
By the way, just finished "Cape Horn to Starboard" about a guy who sailed around Cape Horn against the prevailing winds in a Contessa 32 and it was a great read. A Contessa 32 might be right up your alley too!
Properly maintained their should be no inherent problems with maintaining a steel boat its true, but generally speaking they do require more work than plastic.
Even then if you have a serious problem one of the glories of a steel boat is that problem areas can be cut out and replaced. If you can weld then hey presto, if not, welders are not all that hard to find, even in remote locations.
Aptly named that Bulldog. Looks a solid wee beastie. Not a half bad interior for 30'. All the essentials, good galley, good berths. No need to bugger about with a wheel, tiller more than adequate on a boat that size.
These are from Ted Brewers site. Nice boke Ted. Gave me lots of advice when I was thinking of buying one of his.
As a comparison these are pics and layouts of our boat, the VDS34.
Image files of "Van de Stadt 34" from
Van de Stadt Design
I still emphasise that we bought Raven despite the fact she was steel, not because of. I seriously doubt we would ever buy another steel boat unless as with the Womboat we found what we wanted and she happened to be steel. My choices from top to bottom would be Aluminium, Cold Moulded Timber, Plastic, Steel, Traditional Wood Construction, Floating Footpath.
I have built a steel boat and and cruised extesively (over 40K nm) with no maintenance problems - the boat was built right and with the correct coating systems.
The boat was designed by Ted Brewer (Bulldog 30) and I can attest to its sailing capability and lievaboard comfort.
Please check Ted's site at tedbrewer.com/sail_aluminum/bulldog.htm
This is an aluminum design, but Ted redid it for steel. Wonderfull boat.
Good luck.
Thanks for the response.
I've always been intrigued by steel boats but shied away from them because I perceived the maintenance to be as high as a wood boat. That was the reason for my question. Not sure that we are on our last boat, so our options are still open. Although Ferro is tempting, what I have seen and read has caused us to steer clear of them.

We've hauled Raven every year since we bought but I'm stretching it to 18 months this time cos I want to change the time of year we haul. Anodes were still good when I had a diver give us a rub down late last year.
|What can you that have owned a steel boat tell me about maintenance? Is it true that the boat needs to be hauled yearly for paint?
Years ago we bought a 28' steel-hulled dutch sloop from Anne Wever builders of Hertogenbosch Holland. Ot was absolutely gorgeous and sailed wonderfully. Everything was so solid and the interior was a masterpiece of joinerwork. Since then, Ron Holland in the United Kingdom has built Trintellas, although most are bigger, but it's worthwhile exploring on the used-boat market.
Unfortunately a used one was recently scrapped by the yard due to lack of interest in the boat. What a shame.

I never really like the Roberts either, I like narrow, low free board sailboat way better.
Can I ask you why you wouldn't go back to a full keel?
If I end up without a full keel, I you have some thing like a Contessa 32, I think they're great boat.
Contessa 32 ? Fine and dandy. One of my favourite boats from way back then. Bit tight for this tired old body to squeeze into for long term cruising but for a young bloke, why not. That presumes of course you realise she is not fast compared to modern designs but I'm guessing you know that.
I'd much rather a Contessa or the like and run the risk of whacking that floating container than be forced to put up with a slow old tub like a Roberts TT. Maybe I am kidding myself but I somehow feel that the semi submerged container is waiting for you scare is just another bogey man sent to spread panic amongst the women, children and small furry marsupials.
I'd still love to know what is was that clobbered Gringo.

text: MTA Educators Endorse Congressman John Tierney The 110,000-member Massachusetts Teachers Association formally endorsed Congressmen John Tierney at a roundtable forum with MTA educators held yesterday in Lynnfield. The event provided educators with an opportunity to highlight the important work Congressman Tierney has done on behalf of students and educators – from preschool to public higher education – during his eight terms in office. Tierney is in a tough fight against Republican Richard Tisei who has close ties to the radical, Republican Tea Party. Tisei has described the Tea Party as a "Godsend." "Congressman Tierney is a true ally and a strong advocate for students and educators," MTA President Toner said at the start of the event. "He has stood up time after time for our students, educators as well as our public schools, colleges and universities. Throughout his career on Capitol Hill, he has worked tirelessly to open doors for children, and families, and the most vulnerable among us." "I am proud to have the support of our teachers in this campaign, because they play a critical role in making sure our children are prepared for the jobs of the 21st Century," Congressman Tierney said. "The key to a vibrant economy is a strong education system – I look forward to continuing to work with our teachers and parents to ensure that our students are getting the best possible classroom experience." Kerry Zagarella, a kindergarten teacher in Ipswich, spoke of her personal experience with the congressman's district staff. "Thank you, Representative Tierney, for the work you do in assisting poor and working class families," said Zagarella, who sought help from the congressman's district staff for Lynn families in need of fuel and/or food assistance. "Every single time I called your office advocating for a family, I got help. Families that were intimidated by the system, came to me and I came to you. Your staff was always helpful and resourceful." Zagarella added, "You understand how hard it is for students to succeed when poverty is a factor. I have great respect for the work you've done and continue to do for poor and working class families. This matters a great deal to us as teachers. Thank you – I'm a proud supporter of you." Amy Everitt, a professor at Salem State University and president of the Salem State chapter of the Massachusetts State College Association, praised the congressman for his efforts to promote public higher education. Tierney, a Salem State graduate, led the effort to include substantial funding for education in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The federal stimulus funds were used at Salem State to provide more classroom technology, facility upgrades and renovations, and financial aid for low-income students. "Our student population is very vulnerable – 37 percent of our students are eligible for Pell Grants – so financial aid is an absolute necessity," said Everitt. "Congressman Tierney's efforts have helped many of my students to stay in school. We need you in Washington fighting for us." Bob Murphy, a retired Somerville teacher and Gloucester resident, noted Tierney's support for important programs such as Head Start and full-day kindergarten, which go a long way to closing the achievement gap that hurts too many children. "Congressman Tierney, you have demonstrated time and again that you are willing to stand up and fight for programs that help children to succeed," Murphy said. Betsy Stowell, a secretary in the special education department in Hamilton-Wenham, spoke of Congressman Tierney's efforts to lessen the financial burden on college students and their families. Tierney was instrumental in crafting several comprehensive bills that resulted in increased Pell Grant scholarship awards, more loan forgiveness opportunities, and reducing interest rates, among other things. "Thank you for helping me to ensure that my children could go to college without the threat of a lifetime of loans after graduation," said Stowell, who has a son in college and a daughter who is a recent graduate. "Your efforts went a long way in my house."Marblehead teacher Mary Miles noted Congressman Tierney's efforts to fix No Child Left Behind and move away from the "one-size-fits-all" accountability system and emphasis on punishment. Tierney is the sole New England member of Congress serving on the House of Education and Workforce Committee, which is responsible for reauthorizing the federal law formally known as the Elementary and Secondary Education Act."Congressman Tierney, you are a true friend to teachers," Miles said.North Shore Community College professor Don Williams thanked Tierney for his support for the Education Jobs Fund, which helped to keep educators in the classroom following the economic crisis of 2008. He also noted Tierney's opposition to the Ryan Tea Party plan, which includes drastic cuts to public education and would end Medicare as we know it."I thank you for standing up to the Republican Tea Party and advocating for an end to tax breaks for millionaires," Williams said. "I can't say the same about your opponent."The Massachusetts Teachers Association represents 110,000 educators, faculty, staff and education support professionals working in public schools and colleges, including an estimated 10,000 members in the Sixth Congressional District.


text: Hi, I'm still working on my dissertation, focusing on the terminology of figure skating. I am now looking for a specific figure skating jargon, that is expressions used only by figure skaters or fans, and wouldn't be understood by the 'layman'. Those are distinct from the technical terms and are rather informal, mainly used orally. My supervisor wants me to find for instance, some phrases meaning "fall" Any advice would help, Thanks!! PS: I'm also looking for pre-2004 rules to analyze how the vocabulary of FS changed since the implementation of the IJS. Does anyone know where to find those? They seem impossible to find :S

'Buffalo then evened the score at 3-3 at the 8:13 mark of the final period on a bad goal given up by Weekes. From near the blue line, Briere threw the puck on net that Weekes had trouble with. Pominville crashed the goal and was there to stuff in the rebound. Then, as the contest appeared to be heading for a shootout, Drew Stafford found Briere in the slot and he used Rangers defenseman Aaron Ward as a screen to beat Weekes top-shelf to seal the victory for Buffalo.'

Julie and Steven were married at Clover Forest Plantation in Goochland, Va. on September 14. "It reminded me of the house I grew up in," Julie said. "They were both built during the same time period, so I felt right in my comfort zone." The bride wore a sweetheart a-line wedding gown with a layered skirt, accessorized with her hair half-up/half-down in loose curls, while the groom wore a light gray suit, accessorized with a striped tie. Notice the polka dots? "They were on the bodice of my wedding gown, which inspired me to use this pattern in other parts of the decor like the invitations, linens, and even the paper straws," she said. Fun fact: Julie is a graphic designer! Bridesmaids wore short purple chiffon dresses and carried bouquets of roses and seeded eucalyptus. "The ceremony location had a beautiful pergola that overlooked a private lake for us to say our 'I do's' underneath," Julie said. "It had an overall romantic, Southern charm to it. Having our dog, Madison, as the flower girl was really important to both of us. We had a little flower collar made for her and had a 'maid walk her down the aisle." Guests were asked to write well wishes and advice on cards for the new Mr. and Mrs. Tables were decorated with gray linens, pink napkins, and mini pots filled with succulents. "Steven's brother, Michael, performed 'Thank You' by Led Zepplin on his guitar for our first dance," she said. "This unique song means a lot, and we thought it was special to hear it played live. It also took some attention off of us while we were dancing, since we ran out of time to practice."

Location: Wheat, Peanut, and Other Field Crops Research
Project Number: 6217-21000-008-10-S
Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Sep 1, 2008
End Date: Aug 31, 2013
The objectives of this research project are to analyze genetic factors that control expression of resistance in wheat, barley, and sorghum to greenbug and/or RWA and to compare the defensive response of the host plants. It is expected that this research will generate useful information to help identify genetic components responsible for aphid resistance, revealing the similarities of resistance mechanisms as well as diversity of host defense between the cereal species barley, sorghum, and wheat. Identification of the conserved resistance mechanisms will facilitate map-based gene isolation by using DNA marker information from syntenic intervals across cereal species. On the other hand, the diversity of host defense against cereal aphids can be used to develop crop plants with more durable resistance.
In this study, three cereal species (barley, sorghum, and wheat) will be analyzed in parallel. They will be infested with selected biotypes of greenbug or Russian wheat aphid in the controlled greenhouse environment. Following infestation, phenotypic responses of the host plants will be evaluated at various time points. Then leaf tissues of infested plants will be collected to analyze any related changes in gene expression caused by aphid infestation. DNA markers will be used to identify resistance QTLs and to localize genes for host plant resistance to the cereal aphids based on genotyping in the mapping populations. Finally we will analyze their genetic diversity in host defense and their linkage to genetically characterized resistance genes. The results from comparative genomics studies in barley, sorghum, and wheat will reveal the similarities of host resistance mechanisms and suggest possible mechanisms to generate diversity in resistance loci.

Software Developer Outsources His Own Job, Gets Busted During Security Audit

Bob gets busted bypassing business security
It comes as no surprise to anyone that it is typically much cheaper to have programming performed in China rather than in the U.S., as the work can typically done for a fraction of the cost. A security case involving this interesting dynamic between the U.S. and China has surfaced that's both funny and disturbing at the same time.
A developer for a U.S.-based critical infrastructure company simply called "Bob" was busted for outsourcing his programming job to China. Obviously, his employer had no idea what Bob was doing despite the fact that he had been receiving glowing performance reviews.
Bob was caught during a company security review of VPN logs. Security personnel at the company discovered that there was an unauthorized VPN connection coming into their system from China. Since they are a U.S. critical infrastructure company, having an
unauthorized VPN access from China was a big deal
Making the problem even scarier for the security personnel was that the company had implemented two-factor authentication for the VPN using a rotating token RSA key fob. An unauthorized Chinese connection to the VPN meant that whoever was accessing the system from China had also been able to bypass a security token, or at least they thought this was the case.
Making things even more puzzling for the investigators was that the developer whose credentials were being used was sitting at his desk in the office when the live VPN connection from China was discovered. On further investigation, it was discovered that Bob had physically mailed his RSA key fob to China and had hired developers to do his work.
Bob was reportedly making several hundred thousand dollars per year while paying roughly $50,000 per year to the Chinese developers who were doing his work for him. Bob was spending his day watching cat videos, surfing Facebook, and messing around on eBay according to evidence the security researchers later found on his computer. Bob was also storing invoices from his Chinese developer on his work computer.
Bob had a good thing going, but unsurprisingly, his company wasn't too fond of his antics and fired him.

Handgun Arrests on the Rise at Salt Lake City International Airport
Security officials -- at the Salt Lake International Airport -- don't know how to explain it.
They just know it's happening.
Apparently forgetful air passengers are being stopped at the security gate in record numbers.
Already this year -- barely one-third of the way in -- 18 air passengers have been arrested, for attempting to carry handguns onto planes.
Last year, the total number of arrests for the entire 12 months was 20.

Jamie Young Co.
With meticulous attention to detail, the Jamie Young Company continues to shape the industry with lustrous, eye-catching design. Over thirty years of experience, designed and manufactured all over the world.
In 1997, Jamie Young Jeter and David Jeter, both artists with a passion for travel, took a day trip to Mexico. There, they filled their car trunk with interesting garden pots they discovered in a roadside shop. When they returned to Los Angeles, they promptly sold the entire haul to a local florist. Recognizing an underserved market, they began to design and produce their own line of concrete flower pots, only to discover that the rustic, hand-crafted quality of the pieces would make unique bases for lamps. With this conversion, the Jamie Young Company was born. David designed the bases and Jamie designed the shades. Their love of travel and desire to understand other cultures took them all over the world discovering ancient art forms, incredible textiles, and an overwhelming desire to create wonderful eclectic designs.

Tina Fey and Paul Rudd star in director Paul Weitz's comedy about an uptight Princeton admissions officer who encounters a teenage prodigy who may be her long-lost son while recruiting students from an alternative high school. Years ago, Portia Nathan (Fey) quietly placed her newborn son up for adoption. Now she's got a great career recruiting students for Princeton University. Then, one day, she receives an unexpected call from her free-spirited college classmate John Pressman (Rudd), who runs an alternative high school that's home to some very gifted students. One such student is Jeremiah (Nat Wolff), whom John believes could be the son that Portia gave up for adoption back in her youth. Meanwhile, as Portia puts her career in jeopardy by altering Jeremiah's transcript, an unexpected romance begins to blossom. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The New Global Health Agenda Universal Health Coverage
The field of global health is witnessing a shift in focus from disease-driven initiatives to projects aimed at increasing the sustainability and strengthening of health systems. A crucial component to this is universal health coverage (UHC), which seeks to address financing schemes for health, separate from efforts to provide both adequate numbers of health workers and structures for health-care delivery. UHC may be provided by government or through a combination of private insurance schemes, public-sector planning, and employer-based programs. Countries across the world, from China and India to Rwanda and Mexico, are beginning to implement different universal health coverage schemes, marking a rise in interest and political will for universal health coverage.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Brandon Marshall returned to practice on Wednesday. He had missed the last two weeks due to a right hamstring injury. Marshall was limited, but this was his first practice back after being injured in Week 11. "Well, Brandon practiced today limited and he was out there on the practice field and got some work out of him today which was good, was good for Brandon to get back out there and you know be with his teammates there in that situation. He's really worked hard to get over this and to get this thing behind him," Dolphins coach Tony Sparano said. "Again, we'll have to see where it goes tomorrow and how he feels and whether or not we can do a little bit more."
Fantasy Analysis:
Next up for the Dolphins is the Cleveland Browns at home. Having Marshall back is big for this offense. The quarterback play has been erratic. The running backs have been hot and cold. Even Marshall has had a down year, but he's still too good to sit on your fantasy roster. For those owners that have him, he's a must start. Cleveland's pass defense has improved, but only cosmetically. Their last four opponents have been the New England Patriots, New York Jets, Jacksonville Jaguars and Carolina Panthers. Far from the most dynamic offenses and when they faced New England in Week 9, they were still ironing out the kinks of losing Randy Moss. Marshall may underwhelm, but do you want him on the bench if he has a huge game? Not many players can put up big stats like he can.

Has Pacific Northwest snowpack declined? Yes.
There has been a bit of a flap here at the University of Washington over the state of the snowpack in United States Pacific Northwest region. The Seattle city mayor, Greg Nickels (a well known advocate for city-based CO2 reduction initiatives) wrote in an Op-Ed piece in the Seattle Times that
The average snowpack in the Cascades has declined 50 percent since 1950 and will be cut in half again in 30 years if we don't start addressing the problems of climate change now. That snow not only provides our drinking water, it powers the hydroelectric dams that keep our lights on.
The number "50 percent decline" apparently comes from a statement in an Oregon State University report in 2004 signed by many Northwest Scientists. This is not actually the best estimate for average snowpack decline, according to published work by Phil Mote, of Climate Impacts Group at the University of Washington. Mote reviewed the Oregon report back in 2004 and pointed out that the 50% figure was erroneous. Mote's 2003 paper in Geophysical Research Letters, highlighted in Science a few years ago, cited losses "as great as 60%" in some locations. Subsequent work (Mote et al., 2005) attempted to quantify change in total snowpack for the Cascades, and arrived at 15-30% for the period 1950-1997. This remains the best estimate, even when including the time period up to the present. Furthermore, this number represents measurements at many different elevations. If high elevation stations are excluded, the declines are generally larger, as would be expected if the chief culprit is increasing temperature, rather than declining snowfall.
So why the fuss? Well, the media can't seem to get enough when there is apparent controversy over something. Both the local and national media were thus quick to jump on the "story" when another UW staff member, Mark Albright, sought to correct the 50% number in a series of emails to the Mayor's office, among other places. Unfortunately, Albright didn't simply provide the corrected information, but set up a web site entitled "The Myth of the Vanishing Cascade Mountain Snowpack", with the very clear message that snowpack has not declined at all. Beyond the appearance of a controversy, this makes for a good newspaper story because it appears to cast doubt on Mote's credibility. This is rather important given that Mote is Washington's "State Climatologist" and is also the lead author on the chapter on the cryosphere in the upcoming IPCC Fourth Assessment report.
So has Pacific Northwest snowpack declined? Emphatically yes. I say "emphatically yes" for three reasons. First, because Albright illustrates the supposed lack of a trend by comparing specific periods (e.g. 1940-1949 vs. 1997-2006), in which snowpack has increased in some locations. This is not very informative, because both the spatial and temporal variability is large, and any question of decline can only be correctly addressed using all the data together, and over a statistically significant time period (30 years or more would be preferred). According to a summary statement prepared by Dennis Hartman to try to clarify the situation for the media and government, the decline is quite evident when the analysis is done correctly. (Hartmann is currently Chair of the Atmospheric Sciences Department at the University of Washington).

Are they the same length?
Isn't the trigger bar for the P3at about 5/16" longer?
Or maybe the PF9's is the one 5/16" longer.
I received a trigger bar, from Keltec, that was that much longer than the bar for my P32 that I'd ordered.
They could not tell me which one they'd sent by mistake...but I intend modifying (shortening, drilling new hole) it 1/8" to shorten the trigger on my P32.
Will that work?...All you gunsmiths here.
