the truth about bush.
Bush was a post-grunge band from the UK, formed in 1992. Their debut album was the self-released Sixteen Stone in 1994. They have sold well over 10 million records in the United States.
The name Bush came about because they used to live in Shepherd's Bush, London. In Canada, they were once known as Bushx, because the 1970s band Bush, led by Domenic Troiano, owned the Canadian rights to the name. In April 1997, it was announced that Troiano had agreed to let them use the name Bush in Canada without the exponent x, in exchange for donating $20,000 each to the Starlight Children's Foundation and the Canadian Music Therapy Trust Fund.
In 1992, British guitarist Nigel Pulsford had left his band, King Blank, after they recorded two albums without much success; he met Gavin Rossdale, who had achieved little success with his previous, short-lived band, Midnight. The two formed a new band, then called Future Primitive, and recruited bassist Dave Parsons (formerly of the punk rock band The Partisans and the somewhat successful pop band Transvision Vamp) and drummer Robin Goodridge to complete the lineup. They soon changed their name to Bush. The United States was at the height of the grunge movement, but Britain had yet to produce a popular grunge band. Bush was on the verge of becoming that band.
Bush's debut album, Sixteen Stone, featured several singles. Initial singles "Everything Zen," and "Little Things" did not sell well at first. However, with their third single, "Comedown" the band quickly saw great success in the US. The song reached number 1 for two weeks Modern Rock Tracks, and the top 40 in the US. The following single "Glycerine" received just as much airplay and sold more singles in America. The band followed with "Machinehead" which reached the top 5 of the Modern Rock Tracks chart, it narrowly missed the top 40. As a result of the success of "Comedown," "Glycerine," and "Machinehead," the first two singles from the album began to see airplay and reached the top 40, bringing the album's total to four top 40 hits. With the many hits from Sixteen Stone including regular airplay on radio and MTV along with a performance on Saturday Night Live the album went platinum multiple times, having now sold six million copies in America, poising Bush's follow-up for massive commercial popularity.
In late 1996 Bush released the first single "Swallowed" from their second album entitled Razorblade Suitcase, The song spent seven weeks on top of the Modern Rock Tracks chart. The album hit number 1 in America and placed high in many European countries. Although a success, at two hit singles compared to four the album did not sell as well as Sixteen Stone.
Following the success of "Swallowed," the album had one more hit, "Greedy Fly," but then failed to produce any more sizeable hits.
Possibly to boost the sales of Razorblade Suitcase or move into new ground, Bush released the remix album Deconstructed. The album saw Bush re-arranging their songs into dance and techno stylings. The album was a moderate success going platinum less than a year after release.
Released in 1999, the band's third album was a major departure in several forms from Bush's first two albums. Unlike the multi-platinum successes of Bush's first two albums, The Science of Things barely limped to platinum. Also, while the band's previous albums were strongly influenced by grunge, The Science of Things featured heavy electronic music influences that distinguished the work from Bush's earlier sound. For example, although lead single "The Chemicals Between Us" had a prominent guitar riff, it also had many electronic elements usually found in dance music. Although the album had a few hit songs, the album failed to chart within the top 10. The band's performance at Woodstock '99, however, helped the album achieve platinum status despite its slow start.
Three singles were released from The Science of Things, most notably "The Chemicals Between Us", which spent five weeks at #1 on the Modern Rock Tracks and peaked at #67 on the U.S. Hot 100. "Letting the Cables Sleep," the third single, reached #4 on the Modern Rock Tracks and also received considerable airplay.
Also in 1999, lead guitarist Nigel Pulsford released a solo album, Heavenly Toast on Paradise Road, which featured jazz elements that harkened back to his days with King Blank more than his work with Bush.
Bush released its final album, Golden State, in 2001. While the album attempted to return to the simple, catchy sound of the band's debut, it failed to achieve commercial success due to a lack of support from the band's new record label, Atlantic Records. Several singles were released, most notably the minor hit "The People That We Love", but none were mainstream successes. The album was the band's least successful, selling only 380,000 copies in the US.
"The People That We Love" was originally titled "Speed Kills." However, due to the September 11th terrorist attacks in New York, the band, intending for the song to be the first single from the album, changed the name of the song.
Pulsford left the band after the release of Golden State to spend more time with his family. Chris Traynor took over on lead guitar for the subsequent tour, which would turn out to be Bush's last.
Due to declining record sales and a lack of support from Atlantic Records, Bush disbanded in 2002. In 2005, the band released a greatest hits album called The Best of: 1994-1999, and, a few months later, a live album called Zen X Four.
Gavin Rossdale formed a new band, Institute, in 2004, serving as their lead vocalist and guitarist, just as in Bush. Chris Traynor also joined the band, as lead guitarist. (In addition to playing in Institute, Traynor also joined the reunited metal band Helmet in 2004 on bass; he quit the band in 2006.) Institute released one album, Distort Yourself, but failed to achieve much commercial success in spite of opening for U2's Vertigo Tour at some shows. Institute broke up in 2006 and Rossdale then embarked on a solo career. In 2007, he covered the John Lennon song "Mind Games" for the Lennon tribute album Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur. His first solo album, Wanderlust, supported by leading single "Love Remains the Same," will be released in June 2008. "Wanderlust" was originally intended to be the next Bush album but after originally agreeing to take part in the Bush reunion, guitarist Nigel Pulsford opted out as he doesn't care to tour anymore.
Rossdale has also ventured into the world of acting, appearing in the films Zoolander, Little Black Book, The Game of Their Lives, Constantine, and others.
Robin Goodridge became the drummer for the British rock band Elyss in 2004, although they have not released any new material since. In 2006, Goodridge began drumming for indie rock band Spear of Destiny, and appeared on their 2007 album, Imperial Prototype. He is currently touring the U.K. in support of this album.
Nigel Pulsford has spent most of his time since leaving Bush raising his children with his wife. He is currently producing Emma Holland's long-awaited sophomore effort. In 2004, he and bassist Dave Parsons reunited to appear in a car commercial together.
Sacha Puttnam became a composer.

Cooks will delight in this fragrant wreath made of dried culinary herbs that can be used in cooking: bay leaf, sage, rosemary and oregano. The wreath is handmade on a family-owned farm in California's Salinas Valley, where the herbs are grown without herbicides or pesticides, and its herbs will remain useful as the wreath continues to dry. The wreaths are bound without glue so the herbs can safely be used in your recipes.

Use & Care
- Upon receipt, cut the cable ties from the bottom of the box and carefully remove the arrangement from the box.
- The fresh and dried natural materials used in these pieces are intended for display indoors or in a sheltered area. Avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat, which will cause them to fade in color and become fragile.
- If culinary ingredients in the arrangement are to be snipped for use in cooking, we recommend hanging the piece indoors only, avoiding exposure to insects and other pests. Wash thoroughly before cooking.
- If your wreath is mounted on an interior door, we recommend attaching it in two places to prevent it from bouncing against the door when the door is opened or closed.

Buchanan, Scarborough claimed that a military strike against Iran would be popular, but polls suggest otherwise
On MSNBC, Pat Buchanan claimed that a U.S. attack on Iran is "comin[g]" and went on to assert that a military strike against Iran would be "a very popular initial move." Joe Scarborough agreed, stating that "a military strike against Iran initially would be extraordinarily popular with the American people." But polling data show that most Americans say they would oppose an attack on Iran.
On the August 27 edition of MSNBC's Morning Joe, MSNBC political analyst Pat Buchanan suggested that U.S. officials were "laying down a predicate" for "military strikes" on Iran. Buchanan claimed that an attack on Iran is "comin[g]" and went on to assert that a military strike against Iran would be "a very popular initial move." Host Joe Scarborough agreed, stating that "a military strike against Iran initially would be extraordinarily popular with the American people." Buchanan asserted that "if you took polls of the American people, they would put Iran right up at the top of America's enemies list and much more fearful of Iran than they are of anything coming out of Iraq."
When Time.com Washington editor Ana Marie Cox questioned Buchanan and Scarborough's assertions, characterizing their discussion as "fantasy talk," Scarborough claimed that "military strikes and Iran with middle America, that is not fantasy at all, it would be popular."
While Americans place Iran at the top of the list [1] of countries most dangerous to the United States, a clear majority of Americans say they would oppose an attack on Iran. A May 2007 poll [2] conducted by CNN and Opinion Research Corp. found that 63 percent of respondents said they would oppose a U.S. government decision "to take military action in Iran." By contrast, only 33 percent of those polled responded that they would favor U.S. military action in Iran.
Polls from earlier this year also show the public is opposed to an attack on Iran:
- A March poll [3] conducted by CBS News asked respondents to select one of three statements that came closest to describing their opinion about the type of threat that Iran posed to the United States. Fifty-four percent of respondents said that Iran was "[a] threat that could be contained with diplomacy," while 18 percent said Iran was "a threat requiring military action now." Eighteen percent of those surveyed said that Iran did not pose a current threat to the United States. The margin of error for this poll was four percentage points.
- A Fox News/Opinion Dynamics [4] poll conducted in late February asked about what means the United States should employ to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Fifty percent of respondents said the United States should use only diplomacy; 37 percent said the United States should stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons at any cost; 13 percent of the sample did not know.
Finally, a February 15 survey report [5] from the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press noted that "In recent weeks, the Bush administration also has highlighted the increasing threat posed by Iran, both because of its nuclear program and its reported support for anti-U.S. insurgents in Iraq. But public perceptions of the Iranian threat have not increased over the past year."
From the August 27 edition of MSNBC's Morning Joe:
BUCHANAN: They're laying down a predicate, Joe, for military strikes on the al-Quds camps inside Iran, which I think would unite the Iranian people behind their government, and they would respond, and I think then they'd go for the nuclear sites. Now this is what I think is coming. I don't know that it's coming right now, but I don't see how the president, having pretty much painted himself into a corner, when your military guys are saying "Mr. President, you got Iranians in here, are training these people and providing them things to kill American boys."
SCARBOROUGH: And Pat, just for the record, you think that would be a disaster if we struck out militarily against Iran, don't you?
BUCHANAN: Politically? Now let me tell you, I don't know what -- my guess would be that [Sen.] Barack Obama [D-IL] and Miss [Sen.] Hillary [Rodham Clinton (D-NY)] and the others would be in a state of paralysis because I think it might be a very popular initial move. And elements of the Democratic Party would support -- you take -- [Sen.] Joe Lieberman [I-CT] would cheer his head off. He's already calling openly for military strikes.
SCARBOROUGH: And Pat, you are exactly right. The thing is - and this is how sometimes some of the people that write for The New Yorker or The New York Times or The Washington Post just don't get it. A strike, a military strike against Iran initially would be extraordinarily popular. With the American people, it would. It's just like Iraq. The American people are overwhelmingly saying that there is a connection between Iraq and 9-11. Seventy-five percent of Americans supported the invasion. And you would have the same thing initially again. But of course, it would cause a tremendous mess for the next two or three years. We finally have a French president on our side; we finally have a German chancellor on our side. Things are starting to equalize. But if we go into Iran, it starts all over again, doesn't it?
BUCHANAN: You don't know what happens really, if you -- I mean, initially, as I say, look, the Americans initially would not go after the nuclear sites. Because that would say, in effect, to the Europeans and all the others that, you know, forget it, we' re fed up with the [United Nations] Security Council. You guys move too slow with your sanctions. We're going to settle this ourselves. But strikes on those camps, I think if you took polls of the American people, they would put Iran right up at the top of America' s enemies list and much more fearful of Iran than they are of anything coming out of Iraq. So I think in the Democratic Party, of course, you've got the -- with due respect - you've got the Israeli lobby and Israel, and you've got the hard-line like Lieberman, and you've got the neoconservatives, and you've a lot of evangelical Christians and others who think this is a real menace and you ought to hit them. I think what would happen, Joe, is there would be stoned silence initially and statements like, "Well, if the president has determined that these camps are being used to kill American troops, then he was right to strike them."
SCARBOROUGH: And you know Pat, the thing is, you're exactly right.
ANA MARIE COX: Can I interrupt you guys with your fantasy talk?
SCARBOROUGH: Sure, what fantasy talk?
COX: Well, just to think that it's going to popular, to think that bombing Iran is going to be like --
SCARBOROUGH: Military strikes in Iran, with Middle America, that's not fantasy at all. It would be popular.
COX: Well, it would be fantasy -- I mean, you said that Americans backed, you know, the invasion of Iraq because they thought Iraq was responsible for 9-11. So you're saying, like, if the president lies to the American people again, then it would be popular?
SCARBOROUGH: The thing is, I don't think you're gonna find very many foreign policy analysts that would suggest that Iran being involved in Iraq and killing American troops would be fantasy. I think there's --
COX: No, that's not the part that's fantasy.
SCARBOROUGH: I think there's pretty hard evidence about that.
COX: That's not the part that's fantasy.
SCARBOROUGH: And so, if the president of the United States shows pictures -- I mean, again, a Democratic president could do it or Republican president could do it. I'm not talking about what's right or wrong. I'm talking about what works for the American people. And it's just, you know --
COX: I think the reaction of American people to pictures of American soldiers, you know, being injured by Iranian IEDs [improvised explosive devices] would be, "Get Americans out of Iraq." I mean, I think that it's not going to be "bomb Iran."
SCARBOROUGH: Maybe in Georgetown, or Northwest Washington [D.C.], but not in Nebraska.

Denver • Now that his remarkable comeback has completed its regular-season portion, perhaps the legacy of Peyton Manning should be revisited.
It was never a question of whether he was among the best quarterbacks of all time. That is indisputable. The debate is whether he is the best.
Manning's legacy doesn't need a fifth MVP, nice as that would be. It needs a second Super Bowl ring.
The journey for No. 2 was enhanced Sunday with the acquisition of No. 1. Manning was especially sharp, throwing three touchdown passes in the Broncos' name-their-score, 38-3 whipping of the pathetic Kansas City Chiefs before a bundled but satisfied sellout crowd at Sports Authority Field.
In the locker room afterward, Broncos owner Pat Bowlen presented the game ball to his coach John Fox, who picked up his 100th career NFL victory. Fox told his owner he hoped to get him three more before the season was out.
"Coach Fox made a point for us to take a day to reflect on what we have done this season," Manning said. "I know I'll certainly do that. It's been quite a year for me. It's been like no other year I've been through."
The crowd delivered a standing ovation to the Broncos' defense as it moved from the south side to the north between the third and fourth quarters. And the fans chanted "MVP!" for Manning as the final seconds ticked off.
In his first season with the Broncos, Manning set several single-season franchise records and surpassed numerous NFL milestones. Most importantly, he helped Denver secure the AFC's No. 1 playoff seed. The Broncos' 11th consecutive victory, coupled with the Houston Texans' second straight loss, means the AFC playoffs will go through Denver.
"The Super Bowl is what it's all about with Peyton," said Broncos star cornerback Champ Bailey. "He's such a team guy. Individual awards are great I'd love to see him get the MVP but at the same time, I know what he really wants is that ring."
Manning and the Broncos will get a bye week from the playoffs' first round. In the second round on Jan. 12, the Broncos will stay home to play most likely against the winner of the first-round matchup between No. 4-seed Baltimore and Manning's previous team, the No. 5 Indianapolis Colts.
"It's a damn good feeling right now," said Broncos tight end Joel Dreessen. "It will be nice to take a week off and watch everybody else go at it."
Entering the regular-season finale Sunday, the NFL's MVP race was between Manning and Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson. It's possible Peterson is now the frontrunner after he finished the season with 2,097 rushing yards, the second most in NFL history, and powered the Vikings to the playoffs with a 37-34 win against Green Bay.
But Manning also stamped his candidacy Sunday while wearing a Broncos' orange-and-blue glove to protect his right throwing hand from the December chill. The glove was more aid than hindrance as Manning completed 23 of 29 for 304 yards, three TDs and a robust 144.8 passer rating in three quarters. "You know, for wearing it for the first time in my career, I guess you could say it's been OK," Manning said.
It was nearly two years ago that Manning played in the 2010-season Pro Bowl, then went down with a neck injury that eventually required four surgeries to repair. It forced him to miss the entire 2011 season with the Colts, and led Indianapolis to release him so it could begin anew with a No. 1 draft choice named Andrew Luck.
Manning's first regular season with the Broncos is now in the books: A team-record 400 completions for a team-record 4,659 yards and a team-record 37 touchdown passes against just 11 interceptions.
"I had no real expectations for what this year would be like," he said."So I don't know if you can exceed expectations if you never really had any. But it's been a gratifying regular season and very humbling."
More importantly, Manning led the Broncos to a 13-3 record not a team record but their first No. 1 playoff seeding since their 1998 Super Bowl team set the record with a 14-2 regular-season mark.

Hi Ladies (and gents who love them),
I was shopping in NYC today and guess what I found? http://www.snapdragondesign.net/gall...serialNumber=2
I sold my Zam 2 years ago, but figured some of you wonderful folks might be interested... So I bought the whole bolt. There's 1 6 yard piece, one 5 3/4 yard piece and one 5 yard piece. It's maybe a little thicker than the Zam I Am neoprene that I had but it's the same double-laminated.http://www.snapdragondesign.net/gall...serialNumber=2
What it doesn't have is the nice non-laminated overhang on the edge that hers had to do the hem on the shirt, but the fact that the color and weight is nearly perfect makes that sort of a non-issue. The store said it came from Germany and he wasn't going to get more, and that's all he knew about it. I'm asking $100 for the 6 yard piece, which will probably make 2 bodysuits if you cut carefully, $85 for the 5 3/4 yd piece, and $75 for the 5 yard piece, which will each make probably one suit with enough for an extra top. Couple more pictures at Items for Sale
PM or email me with any questions!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
The simple thing to do is just before you start the removal project is remove the dist cap. Tap the starter, bring the distributor rotor around so that it is pointing to the firewall area.. Take a marker and a straight edge and mark on he firewall exactly where the rotor points. Then mark the outside of the dist housing. Remember where both marks point. WRITE IT DOWN. Then take the battery cables off and do not rotate the motor!!
Pull yout dist out. replace your intake. I use RTV only on the ends (as did the factory in later production) it won't accidently slide out and over the back!
When you replace your distrib, line everything up as you slide it in. BUT, just as you get to about the last inch. Back the rotor up about 3/8". then drop it in. (the drive gear has an angle to it and if you try to install the dist without backing the rotor up, it will always be a tooth off). when the dist seats on the gasket, and the lines are correct it will be just as you removed it. tighten down and relplace the wires. If it won't go down the last 1/2 inch or so, the oil pump drive is just a bit off, and you will have to take a long screwdriver, reach down into the dist hole and move the slotted shaft just a little bit. repeat process untill dist drops in hole and everything lines up.. get er Done!!
Replacing Intake Manifold Questions
Hi guys. Tomorrow I am going to be replacing the intake manifold on the 454 in my 71 Nova. I just had a question about pulling the distributor out. I have done this swap before, but last time there was another mechanic there to do all the "technical" stuff. Ive been doing some research and I have mostly everything down pat except the removal and installation of the distributor. Is it something I can simply mark the locations where it was, take it out, then drop it back in when everything else is done? Or is there a little more to it then that? If someine kinda of give me a step by step guice on how to do it I would be VERY grateful.
Also, my intake manifold gasket set came with the two actual manifold gaskets, and one shorter piece of black rubber gasket that im assuming either goes on the front or the back of the intake, inbetween the intake and the block. Do I really need to put that gasket on? Or can I just make a really think beed of RTV on those two areas and I should be fine?
As always, ANY info you guys can share would be greatly appreciated.

As you might guess, mile-a-minute vine was named for its speedy growth, with the vines reaching 15 feet in a single growing season. Another name for it is "Asiatic tearthumb" because the vines are lined with hooked barbs that catch on skin and clothing. It's easy to identify because the leaves are shaped like equilateral triangles. The stems are often reddish and surrounded by cup-like leafy structures. Small spikes of colorful metallic-blue, pea-size fruits are held above the vines.
Mile-A-Minute was accidentally introduced to the United States from eastern Asia. It began to be noticed in the wild in the 1930s and has mainly established in the Mid-Atlantic and northeastern United States. You will find it growing along streams, roadsides, in young or recently cut forests and in thickets.
Mile-A-Minute quickly grows over small trees and shrubs, slowing their growth. Along stream sides it can cover the ground preventing rare wetland plants from growing. It becomes a problem for hikers as it scrambles across paths snagging ankles.
Since mile-a-minute is an annual vine and has relatively shallow roots, it can be pulled out and the vines rolled into balls. Wear gloves, long sleeves and long pants to avoid the thorns. Plants should be pulled before they set seed in early summer. If it is growing somewhere where it can be mowed, mowing close to the ground will remove flowers and prevent fruiting. For large infestations, herbicides containing glyphosate, such as Roundup® brand Weed & Grass Killer products, can be sprayed on plants before seeds form. The seeds will remain viable in the soil, so be sure to check areas that have been cleared for several years in spring for new plants.
The seeds are often carried to new sites through the movement of soil. If construction equipment or fill dirt is brought to your home, monitor the disturbed areas for signs of Mile-A-Minute. Birds, small mammals and ants also disperse the seeds. Often plants will establish under a favorite perching area or near an ant nest or burrow. Mile-A-Minute needs some sun to grow, so maintaining healthy woodlands will help prevent it from establishing in a forest.

I shot TF a mail about this, but haven't heard back from him yet (I imagine he's extremely busy), so a toss of the question out to everyone else...
I've recently embarked on painting up my own FP Prem helmet and have been following the "One last wafer thin ESB paint job..." thread by Terminal Fettler. I've been struggling with masking detail, which immediately signaled that something's amiss. Here's the steps I've been taking:
The problem comes up with the masking material. The fluid I'm using is either too runny to retain the fine detail required (the Masquepen) or dries too fast (Windsor & Newton). With the W&N fluid, the initial viscosity is pretty good, but it builds up on the brush very quickly, making it nearly impossible to paint in the fine detail of the template. Additionally, it dries so quickly that by the time I've cleaned the brush of excess fluid, adding new fluid to the necessary area tends to lift up the already dried mask.
- Print out sections from Count Dookie's templates
- Transfer the template to the helmet via tracing with graphite paper
- Masking the template outline with either Windsor & Newton Art Masking Fluid and/or Masquepen
- Airbrushing the masked section
Has anyone discovered these problems and figure out a way around them? Am I using the wrong masking fluid? It seems a number of folks have had success with the W & N masking fluid, so I don't think that's the issue. Part of it might be the environment I'm in -- the garage I'm working in can get fairly hot.
Any advice or shared experiences would be appreciated.

5 Ways to Stop Wasting Food & Start Saving Money on Food (Page 2)
1. Check Expiration Dates Before Your Buy
This may seem like a no-brainer, but often you'll find varying expiration dates on identical products. Stores use expiration dates to indicate freshness, moving the newer products to the back of the shelf with the older ones within grabbing distance. If you want the ultimate in freshness, check the products behind what's directly in front of you—you may find fresher ones hidden there.

text: Marc Stein: NBA referees expect to be locked out on Oct. 1 - ESPN The prospect of replacement refs is an interesting one. I know a lot of fans like myself really dislike the inconsistent approach that NBA referees take towards officiating. Might some replacement refs officiate the game more consistently, or will they just follow the same old mandates? This might add a little extra spice to the early part of the season depending on how long the lockout lasts.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thank you all. I'll give it a try.
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
|Cassidy's Mom
As Blanketback said, "leave it" is usually used for leaving something alone, not for giving something up when the dog already has it. Although what commands you use for which behaviors doesn't necessarily matter (as long as you are consistent about what that command means), it's helpful to have both commands. Since he's already obeying the "leave it" command about not not touching something when you tell him not to, pick another one for releasing the toy. It's very possible he's confused because you're saying the same words for two different things.
Some people use "out", or you can use "drop it" or "give". Again, personal choice. I started training it by holding a treat right up to the dog's nose, and when they dropped the toy to take the treat I marked it ("yes!" or with a clicker), and then gave the treat. Once the dog is dropping the toy to take the treat, I start fading out food rewards and use continuation of play as the reward - let go of the tug, "yes!", and we tug some more, or I throw the ball again.
I don't know if I can help, but I'll try. I use 3 different commands. To me, "Leave it" means to leave it alone. No matter what it is, it isn't to be investigated. This came in very handy when we found an injured porcupine on the side of the road. And here I thought teaching him to ignore poo was a big deal. Great command!
I teach "Drop it" too, which means whatever's in his mouth gets released. This command gets used when we're playing with the flirt pole, since the game is pretty much all about chasing the toy, and that won't happen unless he's dropped it. Another very useful command.
For retrieve games, I use "Hand" as in 'hand me the object.' I taught him this by playing with a larger frisbee - one I could hold at the same time as he had it in his mouth. Before I started using this word, I had already taught him to bring back the frisbee and "Drop it" at my feet. If he dropped it anywhere else, I'd tell him to go get it. That was more patience than anything, and I never chased him down for the toy. He learned that the game continued when he dropped it at my feet.
Then I added "Hand" when he was 100% with the dropping at my feet. It was a smooth transition for him, as I held the frisbee he naturally released it - he wanted that thing thrown, lol! So I added the command as he was releasing. Ta da!
The hardest part is being consistent. He has toys all over the yard, and he'll do his best to drop a toy and bark for it to be tossed for him. I have to continually tell others not to reward the bark, and ask for "Hand" if they want to play together, lol.
Leave command
How do I teach my 8 month old the "leave" command? Specially when playing tug or throwing his toy.
Whenever I throw his toy he brings it but won't release it when I say "leave it"
He wants me to chase him (runs away with it as soon as I try to grab it" or just plays tug.
Although, when inside if he grabs something I don't approve and say the command "leave it" he listens and won't touch it so I know he knows what i mean.
Any advice?

VERNON, CA -- New from Oak Manufacturing Co. Inc. is a bulk vending machine component that allows operators to quickly scoop coins by hand from the cashbox. Called the Quick Collect Base, the module was created to reduce service time at locations. It works with Oak's popular Vista venders.
To access a Vista cashbox using the Quick Collect Base, operators unscrew the locking bolt at the top of the globe, lift the machine and apply a quarter turn, and scoop out the coins.
"We brought the new base out based on requests from our operator customers," said Oak's Jim Hinton. "With route personnel time being so valuable these days, this innovation will make them more productive while still providing a high level of security."
Introduced in the late 1960s, Vista is among the most popular bulk vending machine lines used by operators. The Quick Collect Base will retrofit for all machines in the series, which include the Vista Cabinet, Vista #300 and Vista #450, as well as the Vista Globe.
In formation is available from Oak Manufacturing at (800) 247-4932 or (323) 581-8087.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Actually I think its probably the third gear apply hub seal.
But theres a chance that it could be the VB, and thats something they can do in the truck.......
Since Hot_Rod-Faith said that reverse was a problem too, this points to a direct clutch pack problem. Different oil circuits feed reverse, so a v-body problem may not be the cause. It is easier to drop the v-body and check first , though
It could be a sealing ring & sealing surface problem with the direct drum & the stator support. The tranny stills needs to come out to be disassembled for that repair.
Slamming a T-350 into park at speed is probably only going to break the parking pall.....
Sounds like the trans is gone but there is one thing you can try. If anyone you know has T-350 parts hanging around, see if you can get the valve body from them. Buy a BM shift kit (for the gasket and instructions) and change it. The fact that you lost it all at once would sugest to me that the clutch pack is OK, and that its an obstructed orfice. The valve body controls flow to the 3rd gear apply hub (what pushes the clutch pack together to engage 3rd)
Thats something you can do with the trans still in the vehicle.
|a th 350 is a lot different than a c4...i know, because i have a c4 in my 66 mustang. all tricks and possibilities aside, we now know that the tranny has to be rebuilt. Theres 300 ways to skin a cat, but which one do you prefer? Theres no debates needed about ways to do it, because I think all of you are right, its just a matter of what works on what model. Thank all of you for the info, and my next tranny question will be about my c4, when the 66 is on the road again, as she likes to slip out of gear at the worst times. Thanks again everyone, and I'll keep everyone posted as we tear into it and see whats what in there, lol, truth be told, I will end up frustrated beyond words with it, and have plenty of questions.
the procedure I was taught back in 1978 or so... the old tranny geezer told me to pop the tranny into reverse at a low speed and stab the throttle for a second in this 68 Mustang with a C4.
The tranny started shifting great after I performed the reverse trick
After I got back to the shop, the geezer asked " was that you squeeling tires?" I proudly said 'yes' since I thought I had done the procedure correctly.
He then explained how I should have done it in the alley on the dirt , not the asphault and not smoking the tires.
The tranny guy had to be at least 50
Actually.... on a TH350, slamming it in park can strip the teeth right off of the governor, if you are lucky. That practice is really not recommended on any trans, unless you are already planning on tearing into it, and possibly even replacing the case. Since the normal operation of a governor depends on the thing turning, therefore forcing the weights out, stopping the rotation suddenly actually does nothing to improve the operation. Doing that with a Torqueflight can also cause breakage of the reverse band if you stop in reverse instead of going all of the way to park.
Besides the possible problems that can be caused to the trans, consider the stress caused on the rest of the drive train. If you feel that the governor may be stuck, it is alot cheaper to just replace it than a rear end or even a drive shaft!
|I realize you've already found the answer to your question and a rebuild is in order, but there is something I have to say about some advice you may have gotten from others. The govenor controls the shift timing of the trans and works against tv or modulator pressure, which is an input based on vehicle load. If there is a 1-2 shift and no 2-3 shift, it's not govenor, it's working. It's something else. Throwing a trans into park with a stuck govenor can work on CERTAIN units, but the 350 isn't one of them. It works on torqueflites, C-6's C-4's etc. where the govenore is mounted solidly to the output shaft, close to the park pawl and gear. The vibration it creates when putting it in park at speed can loosen the govenor. On a 350, the govenor runs off the output shaft by a small nylon gear, and this park trick really won't work. Just thought I would throw in my 2 cents. Thanks.
|Make sure you have a good jack and some strong help. That transfer case is a bear to take out and put back in.
|*sigh* i was afraid that was the end result. thanks very much for pinpointing the part for us, i do appreciate it. Overhaul it is! I have a book on order about rebuilding the th 350 so as soon as it gets here we will be rebuilding her. Thanks again!
If 3rd gear is gone and reverse is not functioning correctly... the problem is the direct clutch pack.
this pack functions in 3rd and reverse. The pressures are higher in reverse than 3rd, this is why you can loose 3rd and reverse still works a little.
I imagine an over haul is needed on the tranny as mentioned.
Scholman -
we had reverse; but we are now losing it rapidly. we are also scared ****less to do the 40 mph test. i know we have vacuum at the line thats goes into the tranny. we think we are going to drive it until it goes - we dont have a choice. the camaro(the other daily driver aka only other previously running vehicle we have had in the last 6 months) has cracked a head, and is no longer running. but once the camaro is running again (soon) the truck will be parked and given the much overdue TLC it needs.
I would take the governor out and clean it up. Do you have reverse? If yes then it is just dirt someplace. I have talked to transmission builders in the past and they say to drive about 40 MPH and try to put the trans in PARK!!!?!? You are not to let it go into park just push it up and then back to drive fast. They say it will rattle the daylights out of the transmission and knock loose whatever is causing the no up shift. Now I have never had enough of what it takes to do this, like money, but if it works great. For me I would just spray the governor and move the weights and spray again and then reinstall. You don't need to drive it around just raise the wheels off the ground and put it in gear. Give it some gas and watch the speedometer. When the truck shifts the needle will jump. Also see if you can make it shift manually. Put the selector in "L" and then push if up to "2" and then when you think it should shift into high push the selector into "D".
The last thing I would do is put some type of transmission cleaner into the oil and drive it around and see if it will free things up. If all else fail to cure the no 3rd then and only then would I pull the trany for cleaning.
Good Luck

check this out, my husband was driving our 79 k5 blazer (4x4) to my fathers house. we stopped at a gas station to get us drinks. when we were coming back onto the highway, we had to kick in the 4bbls, the tranny downshifted to 2nd gear, and never shifted back to 3rd. we took the filter pan off, the fluid was hershey chocolate brown, and very very minor metal shavings. the filter was shot, soaked black all the way through, so we do not know when it was last changed. we put new fluid in and a filter, started her up, put the foot on the brake, brought her to a high idle and shifted through the gears to get fluid in the pistons. Took her for a drive, still no 3rd. any input? we think maybe the kickdown cable is broken somewhere in the mix. there was no problems with the trans before this incident. we dont know the first thing about trannys, so we need all the help we can get! Thanks guys.

Well the time was right . The geese had finally arrived in force and the weatherman had brought us the goose hunters friend , SNOW. Snow it seems definitely swings the advantage to the hunter, it allows us to essentially disappear in the whiteness. . We had to run traffic because the farmer had chosen to plant beans again this year. I`m sure the high price per bushel had influenced his decision . The field we hunted is huge and flat as a pancake with no cover, but it gets a lot of goose traffic over it so we gave it a go.
It was almost nine before we started seeing any goose activity ,I`m sure the temperature hovering at 10 degrees had held them on the roost a little longer than normal. We couldn't have asked for anything better as groups of geese started showing up in an almost steady procession . It quickly became evident that the birds liked our offering . We were afforded that rare luxury of picking your shots. I had a few firsts on this hunt . First hunt of 2013 , first time out using my new decoy trailer and the first time out to try the remote control flaggers I built from wiper motors . All three worked out well . We had a great hunt today I hope you did too.

CARTERSVILLE, GA AR Bodies will be the Presenting Sponsor and the Official Body Parts Supplier of the NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division in 2014. AR Bodies has introduced a new line of body parts for the 2014 season, and will use three NeSmith Racing Divisions to showcase them.
AR Bodies will also be an associate sponsor of the NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series Touring Division and the Chevrolet Performance Super Late Model Series in 2014.
"We are very pleased to become the Presenting Sponsor of the NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division, and Associate Sponsor of the both the NeSmith Dirt Late Model Series, and Chevrolet Performance Super Late Model Series," AR Bodies Owner Jerry Criswell said. "We became a contingency sponsor with NeSmith Racing in 2013, and really enjoyed working with the series, and after 2013, we decided this series really has a goal, a sense of direction, and a plan to get to where they are going.
The NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division was new for NeSmith Racing in 2013, and AR Bodies was impressed with the development and direction of the division, as it exceeded all expectations with its tremendous growth in its inaugural season.
As we developed our new street stock body, we worked with NeSmith Competition Director Tim Sims and the NeSmith series, Criswell said. We met Tim Sims in February at the RPM workshop, in Daytona. Tim expressed an interest in developing a street stock body that was durable, and affordable for their street stock division. His main objective was he wanted the body to look like a "stock car", so when the fans in the stands looked at it they knew what it was. We had already begun working on a body, and we knew we needed the overall body be adaptable to many different chassis, roll cages, and wheel bases.
Criswell and his team at AR Bodies went to work on a stock-appearing body that fit what the NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division was looking for. By late summer of this season, they had the prototype completed.
My team and I have worked hard all year long and achieved what we were after, Criswell said. Tim came to our shop in September to see the results, and very much liked what he saw and approved the body. At this time Tim asked about doing something sponsorship-wise to promote the new body and help the racers at the same time. Again, it seemed like a natural fit and we look to have a good and long lasting relationship.
AR Bodies is now ready to mass produce the new Street Stock body as race teams prepare for the 2014 NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division Presented By AR Bodies season that begins on March 24, 2014.
"We are finishing the final molds as we speak for the new Street Stock body kits for Camaro, Mustang, or Challenger, Criswell said. The roof is made of fiberglass, the nose, fenders, quarter panels, and tail pieces, are made of a tough durable composite plastic. The doors, "A" Pillars, "C" Pillars, and hood are made of aluminum. All the panels will be available in all the popular colors, and you can mix and match the colors when you order the body kit meet the teams color schemes how they want. People can go ahead and call and advance book their orders now if they choose. Although, we are proud of our new street stock body kit, we still offer the nose kits for the older metric Monte Carlos, and Camaro's as well as many others, that are also NeSmith approved."
Along with the new Street Stock body kits, AR Bodies will continue to offer a full line of dirt late model body parts, all of which are approved for use with the NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series and the Chevrolet Performance Super Late Model Series. AR Bodies is introducing the new Air Speed Nose Assembly for dirt late models.
For more information about AR Bodies, call 1-888-245-1468, or visit them online at www.arbodies.com. You can also like their Facebook Page at ARbodies.
"On behalf of NeSmith Racing, we are very proud to have AR Bodies come on board, and become a part of the family, NeSmith Racing Competition Director Tim Sims said. As many people have come to know throughout 2013, AR makes some great nose pieces for the dirt late models. I spoke with Jerry and Roy Diess at the RPM Workshop about the possibility of working on something for the street stocks because I know the original bodies are getting very hard to come by. I talked with them about what we were looking for as far as appearance, and wanting the bodies to look like their street counterparts. I figured it would be at least a two-year process, but then Roy saw me at the track in August, and wanted to know when I could come up because they had something they wanted me to look at. I was shocked at how quick these guys made this happen. I was even more shocked when I walked in and saw the car with the body on it. I think they knocked it out of the park, right off. We look forward to working with AR Bodies for many years into the future. Jerry and his team is a lot like our team. They aren't the biggest group of people but they know how to get things done, and done well."
There have been several inquiries regarding the 2014 NeSmith Performance Parts Street Stock Division Presented By AR Bodies rules package and any changes from the 2013 season. Sims also addressed this situation during the AR Bodies Sponsorship announcement.
"Many are calling and asking about the 2014 Street Stock rules, Sims said. We had a good meeting with most all of our promoters, and tech people on October 26 at Whynot Motorsports Park in Meridian, MS. We will have a few small changes and some things that need clarification. We should have the 2014 rules ready to post in just a few days, so keep a check on the website."

text: Lee and Lemonpen on the Piston fast break, We really don't get much out of it unless it is a wide-open affair. I often wonder: 1) Do we just not have the players for it (other than Tay) so why push it. 2) Is it just not coached well? I prefer that we set up unless it is a wide-open break.

$39.5 Million Gift from Walton Family Charitable Support Foundation Launches Capital Campaign at Ozarks
Release Date: 11/2/1998
Clarksville, Ark. -- The Walton Family Charitable Support Foundation announced today a gift of $39.5 million to the University of the Ozarks in Clarksville. (For more information: Larry Isch, 501-979-1420, Steve Edmisten, 501-979-1380, Elise Mitchell 501-443-4673)
The gift is the single largest ever given to a private university in Arkansas. It also ranks as one of the 50 largest gifts made to private higher education since 1967, according to information compiled by the Chronicle of Higher Education.
Formal announcement of the gift was made to students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends of the school by Ozarks President Dr. Rick D. Niece. He told those attending the ceremony in the school's Raymond Munger Memorial Chapel that this was the challenge gift for a $55 million capital campaign to strengthen academic programs, student services, and facilities at the four-year, liberal arts school. He said the school would raise the $15.5 million balance of the campaign goal from other supporters.
Helen R. Walton, wife of late Wal*Mart founder Sam M. Walton and honorary lifetime chair of the Ozarks Board of Trustees, represented the Walton family for the announcement. Also taking part in the ceremony were Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, former U.S. Congressman and Ozarks Trustee John Paul Hammerschmidt, and the chairman of Ozarks' board, Richard Streller of Dallas, Tex.
Allocation of "Pride and Promise Gift"
($39.5 Million)
Allocation of the Gift
More than $33 million will be used to strengthen the school's endowment in specific areas. These include faculty compensation and benefits; a new mentors program for freshmen; eight new faculty positions; improved staffing and programming for the school's student life services; and 10 new presidential scholarships for top students. The remaining $6 million of the gift will be designated for renovation of residence halls, improvements to intramural fields, and enhancement of Ozarks' enrollment management systems.
"A major focus of the Walton family is to improve the quality of education," Niece said. "This gift is carefully designed to help this school improve on what we already do well: provide personal attention and a community atmosphere for students seeking a high quality Christian education. Personal attention has always been highly valued here," Niece added. "Now we will just have more and better resources with which to deliver that attention to our students."
Richard Streller, chairman of the Board of Trustees, said, "Some wonderful things have been happening at the University of the Ozarks in the last few years and this gift is another major step in the university's development as a first-class institution. This gift will help Ozarks do an even better job of doing those things it already does well, emphasizing students and higher education in a Christian, liberal arts environment."
Purpose of the Gift
In addition to her many years of work with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), Mrs. Walton has had a long-standing relationship with Ozarks. She was elected to the board in 1975, has been a lifetime trustee since 1983, and has been the board's honorary lifetime chair since 1984. She received an Honorary Doctor of Humanities from the university in 1987. The university's Walton Fine Arts Center and its L.S. and Hazel Robson Library are named in recognition of the contributions she and her family have made to the university.
"This school has always played an important role in advancing the Church's emphasis on education and personal enlightenment," Mrs. Walton said. "It holds a special place in my heart because of its work to build the character of, and improve the quality of life for, many young people."
Mrs. Walton also added that this gift, as well as the gift to the University of Arkansas earlier this month, is the culmination of significant work and planning. At this time, the Walton Foundation has no plans to make other large grants.
Of the gift and the role private higher education plays in Arkansas, Gov. Huckabee said, "I've always believed that what makes a person wealthy isn't what they have but what they give. The Waltons obviously agree. For the second time this month, they've given the gift of an education to the students of Arkansas. Like all Arkansans, I'm proud of what they've accomplished and grateful for their generosity."
A Challenge Gift; The Capital Campaign
As a challenge gift in a broader $55 million campaign, Niece said the Charitable Support Foundation's leadership would serve to inspire others to support the school. "The Charitable Support Foundation has shown tremendous confidence in this institution," he said. "Now it is time for us and everyone else who loves this school and its mission of service to do our part."
Niece described "our part" as raising the $15.5 million balance of the $55 million campaign goal to provide additional endowment, facility and operating support for educational programs and services. Niece said the goal of the new campaign could best be described as an initiative, "to preserve the pride, to keep the promise" of Ozarks. He noted that supporters will, in effect, realize a match of two-and-one-half to one for their gifts to the campaign. Niece concluded that in spite of the improvements the school anticipates making as a result of the gift, the school's commitment to personal student attention and Christian values remains unchanged.
Niece said he was especially proud for the school's alumni and emphasized a theme he said he had talked about with many of them, "As with all successful institutions, Ozarks will change. But as we change, we will remain the same in our steadfast commitment to personal attention and Christian values. We may look different on the outside, but at our heart and in our actions we will always be the very same school that has educated outstanding young men and women for the better part of two centuries."
Founded in 1834, Ozarks was the first institution of higher education in the Arkansas-Oklahoma Territory. It was the first college to admit women, in 1875, and it opened the state's first pharmacy school in the late 1940s. In 1957, Ozarks became the first school to admit an African-American student in Arkansas and it opened the first program for college-aged students with specific learning disabilities in 1971.
Located at the foot of the Ozark Mountains in the state's west-central Arkansas River Valley, Ozarks currently offers four college degrees in 26 major fields of study. Ozarks' student body represents 20 states and 12 foreign countries as well as 20 different religious preferences. Ozarks' average class size is 16, with a student-to-faculty ratio of 13:1.

Starved broodNormally when there is a shortage of food in a colony, brood are removed or consumed by the adult bees or both. However, when there is a sudden shortage of adult bees to feed the larvae, the larvae starve. Affected larvae are not restricted to the periphery of brood combs. The most striking feature of starved brood is larvae crawling out of the brood cells in search of food. Starved brood is almost always restricted to the larval stage. However, emerging bees may starve if they were stressed as pupae by chilling or overheating and if there are too few nurse bees to feed them soon after they have chewed through their cappings. In these cases, emerging adult bees usually die with only their heads out of the cells and their tongues extended.
The deformed pupae, dead pupae and young bees with deformed wings and stunted abdomens are all symptoms of acute Varroa. I have seen plenty of this during fall inspections when it wasn't raining. You will also notice small clusters in many colonies with these symptoms and their prospects of successful wintering vary according to the severity of the infections and the coming winter.Several things are going on associated with the mite infestation: The bees with deformed wings are infected with wingless bee virus (WBV) also known as deformed wing virus (DWV). The brood and adult bees in these colonies are often infected with Kashmir bee virus and acute paralysis virus respectively. The brood often has symptoms similar to EFB and AFB and is often scattered with bees that died during emergence with their tongues sticking out. Frames with theses symptoms are situated in the lower brood chamber at this time of year.
I'm now switching to open mesh floors and will be monitoring the mite levels more carefully this year.Andrew
This may mean I was too late and the colony was already doomed?
And, Rusty, what were your Varroa levels like on the colonies you lost?

Paper Manufacturer recycles energy with help of Atlas Copco
The installation of a central controller and Variable Speed Drive compressor from Atlas Copco has significantly reduced energy costs for paper manufacturer Stora Enso in Germany. As per the utility management team (or shop floor team), the company has cut the cost of generating compressed air by 30%. Taking all necessary conversion measures into account, the entire investment has been amortized in just one year.
At Stora Enso, sustainability and energy saving have yet another dimension: The heat discharged by the compressors is used twice. In winter, it heats up the production hall and in summer, it pre-heats the process water required for production.
