We are missing our 6 yr old Blk Lab female named Stella. last seen Sept 4 evening on Townline Road in Mendon Vt.
she was wearing a large red heart tag on blk leather collar, with names, address,phone numbers etc.
we have reported it to all area agency's and posted flyers in our area. she is an awesome dog and hunter, if you see or hear anything or see someone with a mature lab that they just got maybe itz her......distinguishing feature is that the tip/ end of her tail the bone is crooked and kind of blunt compared to tapered or pointed. large thick tail with coarse hair.
so far we have no tips from anywhere. there are lots of houses in the surrounding areas. we think she might have chased a deer from the apple trees in our yard. the mountains behind our house is steep & rugged and there are coyotes there too.
we pray for her safe return. thanks for reading.

- About Plattsburgh
Do you study better with others? Does talking through a concept with a group of people help you understand it better? Do you prefer to have a lot of feedback about an idea? Are you working on a group project in class and need a little guidance? Have you already started an independent review group and find reviewing a particular concept challenging?
Group sessions give you and your peers an opportunity to work together with a peer tutor to address these and other concerns. Like our individual tutoring sessions, double and small group sessions focus on your specific concerns for a specific course.
In addition to their personal experience with the course and the training in study and learning techniques offered by the Learning Center, our peer tutors also learn strategies for working with groups. From guiding group discussions to leading group reviews, our peer tutors are prepared to help guide you on your way to academic success.
The Learning Center is very aware of the fact that we all learn differently. Our learning preferences have a lot to do with not only our own experiences but also the expectations of a course. It would be very difficult to review for a lab without your partner. Similarly, working on a group project without your group would prove challenging. And some of us just like to learn with others to help guide and support our growing understanding of course material.
During a double session, a tutor meets with two students at the same time. The double session was specifically designed to meet the needs of a partnered project or a pair of students who would like to study together with a tutor.
During a small group session, a tutor meets with three or four students at the same time. The small group session was specially designed to meet the needs of a small group project or a small group of students who would like to study together with a tutor.
In order for a double or small group session to be effective, all students involved must be responsible and active learners.
We request that all students attending a group session are enrolled in the same course with the same professor.
Because all tutoring session are designed to help you, you help set the agenda of any tutoring session at the Claude J. Learning Center. With a group meeting, you should give thought to your concerns for the course before you come.
Group sessions begin with an informal conversation about the course and your concerns. You and your peers have an advantage. You have probably already spoken about the course and your concerns without the tutor present. The information you provide to your tutor in the first few minutes of the session is essential to a productive tutoring session. The tutor, especially if this is your first time meeting with him or her, needs to learn about you, the class, and your understanding of course concepts. It might be difficult to talk about your concerns for the course in front of other students. However, if you are honest and involved in the conversation, the tutor can not only help your group set up an agenda for the session, but he or she can also help you help each other. One student's strength might be someone else's obstacle and the tutor can guide you to helping each other learn.
The tutor may not be able to address all of your group's concerns in one session. If you feel that your entire group would benefit from working with the tutor again, another group appointment can be made. You are also welcome to schedule an individual tutoring session in addition to the group appointment (just remember our rule: you are only allowed two tutorial sessions in two different courses for a total of four sessions per week).
During the session, you can expect the tutor to involve everyone in the conversation. Our tutors understand their role - they do not teach or lecture - but guide you in your understanding of the course material. Their training includes strategies to use to help you and your group on your path to success. These strategies include
In addition to the strategies they use in sessions, tutors often offer helpful hints in how to study including how to
These are just a few of the strategies, tips, and techniques our tutors have in their toolbox. Their own experiences and their training combine to give them access to many different ways to support you as you find your own path to success.
Note: Our tutors will not do the work for you , but they do work with you to find a strategy that helps you.
When you come to the Learning Center to make your group appointment, you will all be asked to sign a Contract for Tutorial Services. This document outlines our expectations of every student who uses our services.
Of utmost importance is that you come to the session prepared. Since you are ultimately responsible for your success in the course, you need to be actively involved in the class and the tutoring session. Remember to bring the appropriate materials to your tutoring session (including the course textbook, syllabus, course documents, notebook, and pen or pencil).
We also have guidelines concerning appointments. Appointments should be made at least a day in advance. And as much as we love to help you, we do limit the number of tutoring sessions you can attend. You are only allowed two tutorial sessions in two different courses per week (total of four sessions). Any exception to these policies must be approved by a Learning Center professional staff member.
Life happens and sometimes you may need to cancel an appointment. Please give the Learning Center at least two hours notice. If an appointment is canceled less than two hours in advance or if you come to the session more than fifteen minutes late, it will count as a "no-show." Three cancellations or two no-shows will mean dismissal from the program for the remainder of the semester.
While we do not generate reports that are sent to your professor, professors - or other appropriate members of the campus community (like advisors or program directors) - sometimes ask for information regarding student use of our services. If asked, and with your permission, we send an update that covers the number of visits, name of tutor(s), and material covered in tutoring session(s) attended.
Please note: all students who desire a double or small group session must be present to make an appointment. Only those students present will be able to make a group appointment. Also, all students attending a double or small group session must be enrolled in the same course with the same professor.
Since you must complete the "Contract for Tutorial Services" all appointments must be made in person at our Learning Center Front Desk. Our schedule changes with each semester so please see this semester's times under Hours .
If you would like to make an appointment but are unable to stop by the Learning Center during our normal hours of operation, please contact the Learning Center at firstname.lastname@example.com .

In the long and tortured history of the city's residency requirements, the issue may never have been debated more thoroughly and more passionately than it was at Tuesday's Common Council meeting.
In the end, a proposal from the Employee Relations Committee to drop residency requirements for all positions but three - the public works director, and the police and fire chiefs - was defeated on a 10-to-6 vote.
The issue of residency requirements for city employees has come and gone in council chambers several times over the years. The current ordinance requires city employees to be residents, but waivers have been granted so frequently that, for some, the ordinance seemed to have little meaning.
In the words of Alderman Dennis McBride, an attorney, "The one thing a lawyer despises is a rule that's not a rule."
Mixed feelings and arguments
Having a consistent policy that could be enforced was a strong motivation among many for a new ordinance. But the reasons for votes for and against the proposal varied. Some thought it was too lax and voted against it. Some thought it was too strict and grudgingly supported it.
Alderwoman Jill Organ said the argument against residency requirements - that they restricted the pool of talented candidates for open positions - was belied by the quality of the present staff members who live in the city.
"I take pride in this fact," she said, further arguing that there was value in "the people running our city living amongst us and experiencing the city they manage."
Alderman Craig Wilson acknowledged Organ's argument, but said, "The bigger concern is the ordinance as it stands today is really a patchwork."
Unwavering waivers
He said he was unaware of any waiver request that wasn't granted, and asked, "Why require it?" He wanted no residency requirements at all, but would have accepted the proposal presented.
Alderwoman Cheryl Berdan agreed with Wilson. She said when the city offers a job to an applicant, it first says the applicant must move to the city, but if the applicant says he or she won't, the city says it can grant a waiver.
"It doesn't make us sound very professional," she said.
As jobs become more technical and require higher training, the pool of applicants should be as wide as possible. And, she added, "You don't have to live here to understand the culture of Wauwatosa."
Council role vs. staff role
Alderman Bobby Pantuso said, referring to council members, " We represent the city."
"As long as we're not legislating tonight that we can be aldermen and live in Elm Grove … I don't care where (employees) live."
Alderman Peter Donegan agreed with those who would have no requirements, and said the council should leave the hiring to the professionals on staff.
"We want the best people we can get, and we should stay out of it."
Inconsistent, but sound idea
Aldermen Brian Ewerdt and Jason Wilke said they liked the current system, as inconsistent as it might be, because it did give the city flexibility. Wilke called city residency a "preferred requirement." Alderman Greg Walz-Chojnacki said "I guess I generally agree that the system is not broken."
Alderman John Dubinski, who served as a Wauwatosa police officer for 30 years, said that when he was hired the city required him to live within 10 miles of the police station - it didn't have to be in Wauwatosa. Over the years the radius was lengthened, and then finally it was removed altogether. One of his colleagues moved to Johnson Creek, 40 miles away.
"Do we want a city forestry director living in Johnson Creek when a serious windstorm comes up?"
He said pride should also be a factor.
Emergency staffing
Human Resources Director Beth Aldana pointed out a second clause in the proposal, which said that when the city hires an employee, it "may consider residency and response time of candidates or employees if operational needs for the position warrant such consideration" - among other things, making residency a tiebreaker among otherwise equal candidates.
Aldana said the city's emergency response team consisted of the department heads, and some second-in-commands.
Alderman Joel Tilleson said that, for him, the proposal "is too narrow." All the department heads should be required to live in the city, he said.
In the final vote, Aldermen McBride, James Moldenhauer, Organ, Walz-Chojnacki, Tilleson, Ewerdt, Wilke, Donald Birschel, Dubinski, and Tim Hanson voted against the proposal.

One of the other problems with this thread is that you started out soliciting testimony from people who have owned the vehicle class you are interested in buying. While that's fine by itself for a good amount of asthetic characteristics and some other functional things, that's not really what you want since that's all that most of those people have ever owned. You want to hear from the people who have owned both the half-ton and the heavier trucks. Yes, I have owned both - I had a 97 Ram 1500 that I towed with and traded it in on my current Ram after only a year when I realized it was a mistake.
Look at what those people who have the experience of having been on both sides are posting. The half-ton owners are all saying "Yes, you can get by", but do you really want to just "get by"? The people who have owned heavier vehicles agree that you will "get by" (myself included), but they are recommending vehicles better suited to the job and I don't see the point with burdening yourself with having to sell off a truck in the future when its hard enough to do that now. When Obama f's up our taxes even further, people will tighten their belts even more and half-ton gassers will become even more unpopular. I think you'd be pretty happy with the comfort and capability of the diesels similar to what Immortal and Stalker_Built bought recently.
I understand Jesus 's point since we both own the same vehicle - I don't know that I would recommend it as a tow rig to anyone. Perhaps if he had a CTD, he would be less soured about the big trucks, because the V10's mileage really does suck regardless of how consistent it is. Although the V10 still does everything I need it to, I would have bought a 3500 CTD (pretty much the truck that Bio is selling) when writing out my order had I known then what I know now. Yes, recent half-tons have more power than they used to, but the peaks are still not equal, the power is still not as high through the useable ranges in the power curves as the diesels, the gassers are more costly to pump up, and you net smaller gains.

I think pretty much everybody that actually looks in the Tow Rig Forum will notice that. It made me chuckle also, but the what makes me chuckle more is what the people think who will begin reading this thread and then stop somewhere along the way since you want to buy a car with a receiver.

keep in mind im not just saying this to get the OP to buy it (even though that would be great lol) I told him if he was buying JUST a tow rig this was not the truck he wanted....But if he wasnt a nice, comfortable DD that he can tow his jeep with once and a while it is great....
Oh and i would be more than happy to load up my jeep for him and let him take it for a spin...(if joe is willing to let me barrow his trailer)
here is it on joes trailer, much better than that messed up POS in the above pic....
Ok, i guess i dont have any good pics of it but you get the idea

Let's see, I've been towing trailers almost on a daily basis since I was 16, up until recently of course.
I towed with ALL half ton trucks when I was mowing lawns including one entire summer with an F-1Shitty towing 3 riders on a landscape trailer, with a bed loaded with hand tools, 3 weedwackers, 3 blowers, etc.
My halfton truck towed my jeep FINE at 85 mph +. I towed my jeep a total of 20-25 times in the last year. I bet combined with my trailer the whole shebang was 6000-6500 pounds.
My boat, fully loaded on the trailer I estimate at 4,000-5,000 lbs. I tow it at 85-90 mph on the freeway, I've towed it to the point the truck shuts down (right around 100). I weave in and out of traffic like an asshole, I accelerate from stop lights with my foot on the floor damn near, and I wait until the last second to hit the brakes and signal.
I do not have trailer brakes on either of the trailers discussed above, I never had a situation where I had excessive sway on the truck or the trailer because of my suspension that was designed for comfort. I never had a problem braking, I never had a problem accelerating.
A diesel 3/4 ton is NICE there is no doubt about it. But a diesel 3/4 ton is NOT necessary.
I've towed with 1 ton diesels, 1 ton gassers, etc.
Perfect example, hoser's 2500 HD with 8.1 GAS monster towing my boat, it towed the boat FASTER then my half ton, but stopped no better and rode like a hay wagon.
If you are not towing every day, and you are not towing more then 7500 lbs you do not need a diesel, plain and simple.

Look how much my F350 is squating!! Just think if it was a half ton!!!
If you don't need the diesel aspect and your just towing a jeep then there is absolutly no reason to anything bigger then a half-ton. I went with the diesel because of the mountains down here. Had I continued to live up in the flat land of MI then then I would have stuck with a half-ton.
and yes, back on track with a picture of a tow-rig included

Oh and the only thing i would add to my truck no matter what is a brake controler, i dont have one...I have towed the jeep alot without one but it would be nice (and safer) but as long as you remember it takes a while to slow down then your ok....
My next truck will be a 1 ton dually CTD or D-max...Only because i want to be able to hual my dads gooseneck with 2 jeeps on it...And maybe get a 3 place someday....

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Volquez left, Arredondo steps in. Dude drives me crazy on the mound.
I do not trust relief pitchers who rely on hitters swinging at pitches out of the zone (diving splitters) to be successful. When they don't chase, he walks them or is forced to throw strikes with a pedestrian fastball that he consistently throws high in the zone.
My hope with Arredondo is that some other teams likes relievers that do not throw quality strikes and we can package him in a deal for an upgrade at some position or on the pitching staff. Help some bad team stay bad

Arredondo. Very hard to hit, but too many walks and long balls.
Not bad for a sixth-seventh inning guy.
My hope is he stays with the Reds and improves.
Rather than give my own subjective impressions, here are the 2012 stats to date:
Jose Arredondo: 6 wins, 2 losses, 56.1 innings pitched, 2.88 ERA, 44 hits, 30 BBs, 57 Ks, 1.314 WHIP, 1.1 HR/9, 4.8 BB/9, 9.1 K/9, and a 148 ERA+. His salary this year is $1.2 million.
He missed 2010 after arm surgery. All of his numbers are much improved in 2012 over last year, as is typical after surgery.

During the last few years, various possibilities to experimentally test quantum gravity within the near future have been proposed, based on effective models that incorporate features like deformations of special relativity, extra dimensions, a fundamentally minimal length, space-time foam, or traces from quantum effects in the early universe in cosmological data. With this workshop, we bring together people from different areas in order to assess these possibilities and encourage discussions. This meeting focuses on experimental tests of quantum gravity, and the conclusions that can be drawn from these tests. Some topics are:
- Predictions for existent and planned earth based experiments (accelerators, high-precision measurements), possibly in scenarios with a lowered Planck scale.
- Cosmological measurements: signatures from the universe's early quantum phase (in the cosmic microwave/neutrino/graviton background, large and small scale structure)
- Astrophysical measurements: cosmic rays, gamma-ray bursts, supernovae.
- Quantum effects caused by space-time fuzziness (decoherence), status and proposals for experiments.
- Miscellaneous and other (emergent gravity, non-locality, etc.).

Gun control petition clears White House response threshold
A petition calling on President Barack Obama to push for new gun control laws in the aftermath of the mass shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., has cleared the 25,000-signature threshold required to obtain a formal White House response.
The measure, filed in response to Friday's massacre, urges Obama to "immediately address the issue of gun control through the introduction of legislation in Congress."
"The goal of this petition is to force the Obama Administration to produce legislation that limits access to guns," it says. "While a national dialogue is critical, laws are the only means in which we can reduce the number of people murdered in gun related deaths."
Obama vowed on Friday to "take meaningful action, regardless of the politics," to prevent future tragedies like the shooting massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Malacca: What to see and do
Travel back in history to what was once the East's more formidable city of influence and one of South-East Asia's UNESCO Heritage Site that is Malacca. What began as a quiet fishing village quickly became the central trading ground for Asian and European merchants under the rule of its first sultan, Parameswara. Its heritage as an international port is deeply etched into the architecture, food, and people that make this state home. One of the artifacts left behind is Dutch Square. Coloured in deep dark maroon, what used to be an administrative building for the Dutch colonisers is now the main town square that graces many a greeting card and tourist photograph. Dutch Square is but the tip of the iceberg that is Malacca's architectural heritage; there's Fortaleza de Malaca, a Portuguese fort; Bastion House that once served as a British bank; and the Baba Nyonya Peranakan Museum housed in an actual Peranakan heritage home.
Jonker Street is another favourite and is host to the ever popular Jonker Walk Night Market during Fridays and Saturdays, though when bathed in the harsh light of the weekday is more known for its aged yet nostalgically picturesque pre-war shop houses. Get a mouthful of history with samples of local cuisine, the front-runner being Baba-Nyonya food. Dishes that were once made in the confines of grandmothers' kitchens have now become eponymous with the city's fusion flair, along with Portuguese-Eurasian cuisine which one may find at the Portuguese Settlement, home to the descendants of former Portuguese colonisers.
Transporting you a century back with her colonial legacy which was influenced by the Portuguese, Dutch, and British, a port-city tour around the surviving building remnants brings you up close to the enduring reminder of the power wrests which keeps Malacca in the more dynamic sections of the ancient Malay annals.

The Canisius College rowing team will begin the spring portion of its 2013-14 season with a pair of events in Texas, head coach Joel Furtek announced on Thursday.
The Griffs will open their season in Dallas against Southern Methodist (March 15), then will take part in the nationally-televised Longhorn Invitational at the University of Texas on March 22 and 23.
Canisius will also take part in the Sacred Heart Invitational and Knecht Cup before rounding out their regular season on home water by hosting Mercyhurst.
"I'm extremely excited for our Spring racing schedule," Furtek said. "It will take us farther from home and to higher levels of racing than ever before. It combines good racing against our MAAC member schools with national-championship level speed."
Following the Griffs' opening weekend of competition against SMU, they will remain in Texas for their annual spring-training before being one of eight teams competing in Texas' Longhorn Invitational.
"We begin against a well-coached SMU crew, and the Mustangs have graciously offered us a great training location during spring break," Furtek said. "I've known coach Doug Wright for the better part of 20 years and we will have our hands full in this first race. Just a week later we will head to the line against some of the best crews in the country at the Longhorn Invitational."
"I'm honored that we were invited by Olympic Gold Medalist Carie Graves, whose Texas program is a perennial power. Other competitors include Yale, multiple winners of the NCAA Varsity Eight, and Oklahoma, who competed at the NCAAs last Spring. Every single crew there brings great speed with Tulsa, San Diego, Kansas State, and Central Florida rounding out the field. The regatta is carried live on ESPN's Longhorn Network, so our fans can catch all of the action."
Following the Griffs' southern swing, they'll have a brief layoff until returning to action on April 5 at the Sacred Heart Invitational, which will be the Griffs first competition featuring MAAC competitors.
Following that event, Canisius will take part in the Knecht Cup in West Windsor, N.J. The annual event features over 70 crews.
"The Knecht Cup has moved for this year to the Mercer County course in West Windsor, NJ, that serves as home for the MAAC Championship," Furtek said. "It will be an exciting regatta with over 70 crews in attendance and lots of speed. It always offers tough competition."
The Griffs will then return to their home water to take on Mercyhurst on the Black Rock Channel. The Griffs will take to the water on April 18, in the team's final regular season event of the year.
"After a lot of travel we'll settle in at home and host coach Adrian Spracklen's Division II powerhouse Mercyhurst for a home regatta," Furtek said. "There are a lot of similarities between our programs and we're looking forward to a great race on the Black Rock Channel."
Canisius will then attempt to earn the first conference championship in the young program's history on April 26. The Griffs raced to a third place finish at last year's MAAC Championships in just their second year of competition.
"As our NCAA qualifying race, the goal is clear: to win as a team, but the competition is always blistering," Furtek said. "In our first year, Drake and Marist raced to a photo-finish in the varsity eight, and last year Marist edged Fairfield by a single point in the team standings. Five schools have a legitimate look at the team championship this year, and I'm happy that we're in that group. We've got a lot of training and racing in front of us before April 26"

Glad the Reds were declared the winner. I was afraid that Selig had recently implemented a new bizarre rule about incomplete, rained out games that would have awarded the victory in this game to the Cardinals.

Almost 31K tonight on a Monday, pretty impressive considering zero walkup due to the weather and the 2-6 roadtrip.
The Reds seem to have turned the corner on weeknight summer crowds.
By comparison, the Nats had 24K tonight and the Twins just under 30K with the Yankees in town on a perfect night for baseball.

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."

"But I do know Joey's sister indirectly (or foster sister) and I have heard stories of Joey being into shopping, designer wear, fancy coffees, and pedicures."
Anyone catch Reds Live last night? They were showing pictures of soggy GABP and it was amazing how much water was filling up some areas. The left field seats had so much water in them you almost had to swim to get to the front row. Yikes!

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - The NCAA has selected the University of North Carolina and UNC Finley Golf Course to host the 2015 NCAA Division I Men's Golf Regional, the NCAA announced Thursday. The 54-hole event will be played May 14-16, 2015.
"It is a tremendous honor for the NCAA to select Carolina and UNC Finley Golf Course as a regional site for the 2015 NCAA Men's Golf Regional," says North Carolina athletic director Bubba Cunningham. "We believe Finley Golf Course is one of the top golf venues in the country and we are excited about hosting a number of the top men's golf programs in the country in Chapel Hill."
UNC and Finley Golf Course have played host to many collegiate tournaments over the years. This fall the Tar Heel men's team hosted the Tar Heel Intercollegiate, which will become an annual event. In 2004 and 2005, Carolina hosted the Franklin Street Partners Invitational and in 2001 and 2002, Carolina hosted The Intercollegiate. The Tar Heels also hosted The Intercollegiate in 1991, but it was played at the Governors Club that year as Finley Golf Course was in the midst of an extensive renovation. Carolina and Finley Golf Course played host to the Tar Heel Invitational 1981 through 1989. The only other NCAA golf event Carolina has hosted was the 2001 Women's East Regional."We are thrilled to be hosting the 2015 NCAA Regionals," said Tar Heel head coach Andrew Sapp. "Finley Golf Course is a perfect venue for this championship and our staff does such a wonderful job in maintaining it in tournament condition all year, I know it will be fantastic for the NCAA Regional. With the success of the Tar Heel Intercollegiate this fall, I know our Event Management Staff will run a top notch event in 2015. We look forward to hosting schools from all over the country at UNC and it is a great way to showcase our Tom Fazio-designed Finley Golf Course and our Chapel Hill hospitality."

Two Oklahoma men whose sons were killed in Iraq staged a small protest on Monday at the state capitol. They said the Iraq war never should have happened and it is past time to end the United States participation in the tragedy. Warren Henthorn of Choctaw said: "This thing has lasted longer than World War II, and there doesn't seem to be any end in sight." His companion, John Scripsick of Wayne said in the past American efforts to defend freedom have gained world wide respect, but the Iraq war is having an opposite effect and causing many to hate America. Dr. Katherine Scheirman, who retired as an Air Force colonel in 2006, supported their arguments. "It doesn't take courage to be like Rush Limbaugh or Bill O'Reilly or Richard Cheney," she said, "and talk tough and warmonger when you haven't put yourself or a member of your family on the line."
This was a small protest not involving more than a dozen or so people. Critics continue being told by President Bush that opposing his ideas on Iraq constitute a lack of patriotism. The essence of patriotism is the presence of such small gatherings in which some people speak what is on their mind. If one examines, the origin of the American Revolution, it began with small gatherings.

KPRC 2 gets new graphics package and more
I'm told the design is a Post Newsweek creation and 100% produced within the company, mostly through the company's design hub in Miami. Scroll down to see what else made a debut on KPRC 2.
Monday also marked the premiere of a brand new promotional image campaign called "Proud 2 Cover Houston." Here are two images from separate promos featuring anchors Dominique Sachse and Bill Balleza.

Why read/comment if you dont care? Anyhow, first thing I was reminded of when I saw the new graphics/colors were those of KHOU --at least the blue and gold/yellow color though it appears they still left some red in which is good in that sense.ReplyDelete
I don't watch Channel 2 for anything really, but that's a nice graphics package. Stylish and clean.ReplyDelete
It's good to see them moving on from their old, red package. I'm surprised that they didn't keep more of a red theme since it's almost part of their branding. Some of it seems a little bulky and metallic and not as light and glassy as it was before... But anyway!ReplyDelete

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Try to adjust the float at lower level. Heat shield is not bad idea.
I have a fuel pressure regulator and it's set at 4.5 psi.
Sitting on level ground, I started the engine and warmed it up to do some other things.
After shutting it off and checking it a little bit later, I see the booster in the secondary has some residual fuel around it, but also see fuel around the top of the vent. Not much, but it's there.
The primary bores have a lot as well as fuel around the front vent also.
I am confused.
Edited to add:
It just dawned on me that I have a nice digital infrared thermometer and then checked the temp of the float bowls.
Front was about 112 and the rear was at 118 give or take a few degrees. The engine has been off with the hood open for at least 20 minutes, so that kind of tells me that I probably have a percolating issue and need an insulator.
|Holley 390 only require no more then 4.5 psi of fuel. Go above it and the float valve will be forced open. you may have to replace the needle/seat assy. that can handle higher Fuel pressure. I'm using two Holley 390's on my Tunnel ram setup.
Holley carb questions.
The carb in question is a Holley 8007 390cfm. I got this used and outside of missing the electric choke, which I replaced with the manual conversion, it appears as if it were used for a very short time. I've rebuilt it using the Holley kit.
Now the questions:
1st question: How critical is the leveling a Holley carb? The my Holley is slightly higher in the front than the rear and even though I have the rear float bowl float set slightly lower than the front, it seems to still drip ever so lightly from the booster on the side of the needle.
2nd question: Do inclines affect the fuel levels in the bowls as you are driving up or down them? My driveway isn't real steep, but does have a 20 degree incline proceeded by a ramped curb. Would this be why I see the fuel in the secondary?
3rd question: How sensitive to heat from the engine are the float bowls? I've read a couple posts about heat shields. I've got material that I can fabricate a shield if that would help with the 1st question.
Thanks for the help.

|When I talk with WebSphere CloudBurst users, the topic of custom virtual images comes up frequently. In some cases they simply want to customize a shipped IBM Hypervisor Edition, and in other cases they want to create a completely custom image. Creating a customized version of an IBM Hypervisor Edition is relatively easy since we give you extend & capture in WebSphere CloudBurst. Creating a completely custom image has historically been a bit tougher, mostly owing ot the fact that there was not a standard tool or process for image assembly. I am happy to say that today's publication of the IBM Image Construction and Composition Tool changes all that.
|Watch a demo of the IBM Image Construction and Composition Tool
|The primary purpose of the Image Construction and Composition Tool is to enable a modular approach to virtual image construction, while taking into account the typical division of responsibilities within an organization. The tool allows the right people within an organization to contribute their specialized knowledge as appropriate to the virtual image creation process. This means OS teams can handle the OS and software teams can handle the appropriate software. A separate image builder can then use both OS and software components to meet the needs of users within the organization. Best of all, the image builder does not need intimate knowledge of how to install or configure any of the components in the image. They simply need to know which OS and software components to use.
|When using the Image Construction and Composition Tool, you start by defining the base operating system you wish to use for your images. You can do this by importing an existing virtual image with an OS already installed, providing an ISO for the OS, or pointing to a base OS image on the IBM Cloud. The bottom line is that you have necessary flexibility to start with your certified or 'golden' operating system build. Once you have the base OS image defined in the Image Construction and Composition Tool, you can start defining custom software for use in the images you will compose.
|In the tool, bundles represent the software you wish to install within a virtual image. The definition of a bundle contains two major parts: Installation and Configuration. The installation component of a bundle tells the Image Construction and Composition Tool how to install your software into the virtual image. You provide a script or set of scripts that install the necessary components into your image, and you direct the tool to call these scripts. These tasks run once during the initial creation of the virtual image, thus allowing you to capture large binaries, long-running installation tasks, or other necessary actions directly into your image.
|The configuration section of a bundle defines actions that configure the software installed into the image. Like with the installation tasks, you provide a script or set of scripts for configuration tasks. Unlike installation tasks that run exactly once, configuration scripts become part of the image's activation framework and as such, run during each image deployment. Using the tool, you can define input parameters for configuration scripts and optionally expose them so that users can provide values for the parameters at image deploy-time. Configuration tasks are important in providing flexibility that allows users to leverage a single virtual image for a number of different deployment scenarios.
|Once you have your base OS image and one or more bundles defined in the Image Construction and Composition Tool, you can compose a virtual image. To compose a virtual image, you extend the base OS image and add any number of bundles into the new image. A base OS image plus a set of bundles defines a unique image.
|After you define the image you want to construct, you initiate a synchronize action in the Image Construction and Composition Tool. When you start the synchronize action, the tool first creates a virtual machine in either a VMware or IBM Cloud environment (based on how you configured the tool). Next, the installation tasks of each bundle you included in the virtual image run to install the required software. Finally, the tool copies the configuration scripts from each bundle into the virtual machine and adds them to the image's activation framework. This ensures the automatic invocation of all configuration scripts during subsequent image deployments.
|Once the image is in the synchronized state, you can capture it. Capturing the image results in the creation of a virtual image based on the state of the synchronized virtual machine. The tool also automates the generation of metadata that becomes part of the virtual image package. When the capture of the virtual image completes, you can export it from the Image Construction and Composition Tool and deploy it using WebSphere CloudBurst, Tivoli Provisioning Manager, or the IBM Cloud.
|I am excited for users to get their hands on the Image Construction and Composition Tool. I believe it represents the first big step in helping users to design and construct more sustainable virtual images. Did I mention it is completely free to download and use? Visit the Image Construction and Composition Tool website for more details and a download link. I look forward to your comments and feedback.

With the widespread acceptance by specifiers and contractors of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) for construction projects in most Common Market countries, European scientists have turned their attention to analyzing how to reduce production costs. Specifically, what should be the best way to reduce the longer than normal mixing times associated with SCC?
In their presentation, "The Effect of Mixing Energy on Fresh Properties of SCC," at the 2005 SCC Conference presented by Northwestern University's Center for Advanced Cement-Based Materials, Dirk Lowke and Peter Schiessl of the Technical University of Munich, Centre for Building Materials (CBM), focussed on producer concerns about extended mixing durations when batching SCC.
The authors began their paper by suggesting "if mixing energy is insufficient, the [workability] properties will not be achieved....The necessary mixing duration depends mainly on the mixer design, as well as the mixture proportion. Due to the low water contents relative to the powder contents and high additive dosages, more energy is required for the production of self-compacting concrete to distribute the raw materials evenly. Mixing times of 240 [seconds] are not rare in a ready mixed concrete plant. This limits the concrete output in the plant significantly, compared with common vibrated concrete and is, therefore, a substantial cost factor."
From their initial investigations, the authors discovered that several alternative approaches could reduce SCC mixing time. Their research was directed at the influence of mixing energy on the initial consistency, as well as the time-dependent development of the fresh concrete properties of SCC. Based on these results, the mixing procedure could be optimized and the mixing time significantly reduced.
Their research focused on the basic engineering mechanics and mechanics of mixing. The authors reported, "Particle movements during mixing can be divided, in principle, into convective and dispersive transport. Convective transport is a forced, directed movement of larger portions of the mix, e.g. by the mixing tool. Dispersive transport is the random movement of individual particles due to collisions between the particles."
Their research identified three phases that can be distinguished by the progression of the slump flow measure and power.
Phase 1 - Dispersing
"Water was added at the t0 (starting time) within 10 seconds. Fluid bonds between the particles are formed by adding and dispersing of water. Due to the surface tension of the water and the capillary pressure inside the fluid bond, the inter-particle forces increase. Therefore, the first phase is initially characterised by a significant increase in power required at the mixing tool.
"With the progress of dispersion of water and superplasticizer, a transition takes place from a grain bulk to a suspension. As soon as the particles are in a liquid environment, the capillary forces [disappear]. This is shown by the decrease in required power, which then follows. During this first phase, flowability clearly increases with increasing distribution of the raw materials."
Phase 2 - Optimum
"The power at the mixing tool reduces asymptotically during the mixing process. As soon as a plateau is reached, a further homogenizing of the raw materials and a complete dispersion of the superplasticizer can be assumed. At this time, the flowability reaches its maximum."
Phase 3 - Overmixing
"The further mixing energy leads to a decrease of the flowability of the concrete. Due to the convective and dispersive transport, further position changes between the particles take place. However, a significant improvement of the mixing quality is impossible. At the same time, further collisions between particles, as well as between particles and the mixing tool, continue to occur, so that the agglomerates are further disintegrated. It can also lead to a further enrichment of the finest particles due to abrasion of the coarse aggregates. Eventually, it leads to a decrease of flowability."

Welcome to the gateway for advancing the safety, health and prosperity of the Hoosier healthcare industry. In collaboration with Union Hospital, the Indiana Department of Labor has launched a statewide healthcare worker safety and health initiative. Learn more about this workplace safety and health initiative by watching the onsite media event and exploring this new webpage!
The February 5, 2013, onsite media launch event at Union Hospital in Terre Haute, Indiana, on the Indiana Department of Labor's YouTube Channel by clicking here.
Media Kit:
Why a develop an initiative for the healthcare industry? Nationally, the injury and illness rate for healthcare workers has been high while other industries have been successfully improving their health and safety records, and Indiana is no exception to this trend. In Indiana alone, there were more than 16,000 non-fatal work-related injuries and illnesses reported in the Hoosier healthcare industry.
The healthcare and social assistance industry employs more than 350,000 Hoosier workers, making it the state's second largest employer. Healthcare workers can be found in hospitals, clinics, dental offices, out-patient surgery centers, birthing centers as well as nursing homes and other assistance positions.
According to the most recent Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report, the healthcare and social assistance industry now has the second highest injury and illness rate in Indiana. Over the years, the healthcare rate has remained high despite decreases in the injury rates in both manufacturing and construction, which have traditionally been considered industry categories with higher risk for worker injury and illness. In healthcare, an injury or illness leads to an average of five days away from work.
A Hoosier healthcare organization that embraced safe patient handling to reduce employee exposure to hazards associated with manually lifting, moving and transporting patients and residents was Union Hospital, Inc. By embracing safe patient handling Union Hospital was able to cut injuries nearly in half. Read more about their efforts here.

Creating a safe and healthy working environment makes good business sense. Businesses which prioritize health and safety in the workplace are often rewarded with some of the following:
To succeed in developing and implementing a workplace safety and health management system, employers must place an emphasis on developing policies and procedures focused on incident prevention. This means creating an actively engaged safety and health management program. Core components of an effective system include: management commitment, active and meaningful employee involvement, worksite analysis, hazard prevention and control as well as providingoccupational safety and health training for all levels of employees-managers, supervisors and front-line employees.
Working together, employers and employees in the healthcare industry can make an impact to reduce or eliminate many common health and safety hazards.
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act) and Indiana Code 22-8-1.1, Section 2, known as the General Duty Clause, requires employers to provide employees with a workplace that is free of recognized hazards likely to cause death or serious physical harm.
Protecting your employees makes financial sense, it's the right thing to do and it's the law.
Workplace safety and health is as much the employee's responsibility as it is the employer's. To ensure a healthy and safe working environment, employees must follow all employer workplace safety and health policies and procedures. By working together, both employers and employees in the healthcare industry can make a real impact to reduce and eliminate many common occupational safety and health hazards.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements for healthcare facilities are addressed in specific standards for the general industry. Highlighted OSHA standards for healthcare facilities include:
The standards referenced above do not make up a comprehensive list. Additional OSHA standards may apply to your workplace. Be sure to review OSHA's general industry standards - 29 CFR 1910 for other requirements.
In addition, section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act) and Indiana Code 22-8-1.1, Section 2, known as the General Duty Clause, requires employers to provide employees with a workplace that is free of recognized hazards likely to cause death or serious physical harm. A listing of federal OSHA's most frequently cited standards for healthcare is available by clicking here. Also, be sure to review the "Employer Resources" section at the bottom of this page for additional assistance and access to OSHA eTools, online tutorials, training, etc.
The Indiana Department of Labor's INSafe division provides free, confidential and onsite OSHA consultation to Hoosier employers. Employers who proactively contact INSafe will not receive citations or be penalized with fines for safety and health hazards identified by INSafe Safety and Health Consultants. Rather, INSafe Consultants proactively work with employers and employees to identify and correct these hazards. Requests for onsite OSHA consultation will not initiate an IOSHA inspection. INSafe will not make information from the consultation available to IOSHA, provided the employer agrees to correct all serious hazards identified during the INSafe consultation within reasonably-discussed correction due dates.
For more information about INSafe, please visit the division's website by clicking here. Employers may complete and submit a request for free onsite OSHA consultation online at www.in.gov/dol/insafeconsultation.

Arınç held a press conference as the acting prime minister of the country on Tuesday during which he apologized to peaceful protestors who were exposed to excessive force applied by police. Arınç made a distinction between the peaceful demonstrations held by environmentalists and the ensuing violent protests, adding that the ensuing fierce protests across the country have cost the country over TL 70 million.
The Taksim incidents started last Wednesday when a group of environmentalists gathered in Gezi Park to protest government plans to build a replica of the Topçu Barracks in the park as part of the Taksim urban renewal project. Hundreds joined the group after the police used pepper spray and tear gas to disperse them.
Arınç also said on Tuesday that he would meet with some of the original organizers of the protest and raised the possibility of a referendum on the Taksim project. He said he wanted environmentalists and animal rights activists to know that the government was ready to listen to them.
"There is a need to communicate clearly, to remove the confusion in people's minds. In line with this, today we will meet with the associations and representatives of those who initiated the lawsuit … to learn their views," the deputy prime minister told the press.
Later in on the day, the Turkish media reported that Arınç is set to accept representatives from the Taksim Gezi Park Platform to exchange of views over the recent incidents.
He further stated that the government will inform the public in detail when drafting future legislation, including plans related to Taksim Square, and will pay heed to people's opinions.
Gül met on Tuesday with Arınç to discuss nation-wide protests which began last week in İstanbul against policies of the government. Arınç is acting prime minister while Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is on an official visit to Morocco.
The two met for 45 minutes and discussed the recent protests in a meeting that was closed to the press.
While Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan rejected the protesters' demands that he resign and dismissed the demonstrations, Gül, for his part, praised the mostly peaceful protesters, noting that they were exerting their democratic rights.
"Democracy is not just about voting [someone into power]; the message [the protesters want to convey] has been received. What is necessary will be done," Gül said on Monday, speaking to a group of reporters in Ankara.
"I had a positive meeting with our president, and I have [his] instructions," Arınç told reporters following the meeting.
Erdoğan on Monday remained defiant. Some have commented that this might be why Gül called for an emergency meeting with Arınç on Tuesday. Speaking to reporters with his Moroccan counterpart at a joint press conference during his official visit to Morocco, Erdoğan said the protests will be over soon after he returns to the country.
When asked about Gül's comments that the message of the demonstrations has been received, Erdoğan said he didn't get any message and wasn't sure what the president meant by "message."
Erdoğan is on a visit to Morocco along with 200 businesspeople to deepen economic and social ties with the North African country.
A 22-year-old protester, Abdullah Cömert, was killed late on Monday at a rally in the southern town of Antakya near the Syrian border, the provincial governor's office said, the second death related to the nation-wide anti-government protests after a taxi hit a demonstrator in Istanbul on Sunday. It was not clear who opened fire at the Antakya demonstration. Cömert died of a head injury, an autopsy report found Tuesday. He was a member of the main opposition Republican People's Party's (CHP) youth branch.
In another development, Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) deputy Sırrı Süreyya Önder, who was a key figure in the early days of the protest for having stopped a bulldozer from tearing up a tree, spoke with Arınç on Tuesday. He was also supposed to meet with President Gül Tuesday early evening. Önder is expected to offer suggestions to reduce the tension in the street.
Meanwhile, the İstanbul Prosecutor's office said all 261 people who so far have been detained in demonstrations were released on Tuesday. There were no figures from other cities, although Ankara prosecutors had also released a dozen with no charges on Monday.
Unions join in
Turkey's workers unions also announced they will be holding strikes .The Public Workers Unions Confederation (KESK), which represents 240,000 members, began a two-day "warning strike" at midday on Tuesday to protest at the police crackdown on what had begun as peaceful protests. The Federation of Revolutionary Workers' Unions (DİSK) also announced it will call a strike on Wednesday and that its members will march to Taksim Square at noon.
There was another demonstration in front of the İstanbul Courthouse in Çağlayan on Tuesday. Hundreds of people gathered outside the courthouse in an event organized by the Contemporary Jurists' Association (ÇHD).
The Turkish Public Workers' Labor Union (Kamu-Sen) İstanbul branch Chairman Hanefi Bostan also made a statement, calling on the government and protesters to act with common sense. Bostan said the world was increasingly adopting the understanding of a pluralist democracy, which respects the opinions of all societal segments. He also criticized the government policies of the past decade, saying people have lost their rights under the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) government. He also said court orders were being ignored by public agencies and those who oppose injustices are often re-assigned to "exile" positions. "These are inhuman practices that should never occur in a place where there is democracy, justice and the rule of law.

HTC Sensation XL
Price: Free-£499.95
Processor: 1.5GHz Single Core
Memory: 16GB internal, no external expansion slot
HTC's Sensation XL is a large screened, dual core, mass storage media device. This is the first handset to be twinned with Monster's fantastic Beats Audio headphones, meaning that you get brilliant audio out of the box.
When we reviewed the handset, we found that pretty much every humble MP3 and AAC song we tried on it had more kick and detail than we're used to on a mobile phone. Obviously, the Beats Audio headphones are a big help, but if you turn the Beats processing off the music instantly becomes flatter.
This is a phone for those looking to consume media with quality, but if you like to hoard MP3s like they are going out of fashion, then the lack of expandability (no microSD card and only 16GB of internal memory) may be an issue.
Read the full HTC Sensation XL review
Nokia Lumia 800
Price: Free-£449.95
Processor: 1.4GHz MSM8255 Snapdragon
Memory: 16GB internal, microSD card up to 32GB
In a market filled with quality phones, Nokia has often let us down with its offerings. However, the Lumia 800 is a strong step in the right direction. The phone comes bundled with Nokia's fairly sub-par headphones, so the first thing you will want to do is buy a shiny new pair.
With that out the way, the Lumia 800 is a joy to use for music. Featuring the latest Windows Phone mobile operating system, there are loads of features to get into.
A swipe to the left from the main Nokia Music screen provides access to the Mix Radio, offering a wide and targeted choice of streaming audio. Playlists are refreshed each week, there's a choice of genres to pick from and you can also download music from the service to your device to listen to offline.
The Nokia Lumia 800 is great if you're into discovering new music, since the radio gives you a heap of new tunes each week, from many genres.
Read the full Nokia Lumia 800 review
Motorola Razr
Price: Free-£449.95
Processor: Dual Core 1.2GHz
Memory: 16GB internal, microSD card up to 32GB
One of the finest points of the Motorola Razr is its media playback ability. It offers an innovative music player twinned with high-quality video playback. The Razr really does offer a great PMP solution.
Audio quality is pretty good on the whole, but seems to change markedly depending on the headphones you use. Lower-end headphones sounded dreadful (more so than we're used to) but decent options made everything sound rosy again, so we suggest you invest in a decent pair.
Where the music player really shines is that it bundles many feeds into one great app - you can choose internet radio, DNLA streaming or standard MP3 playback from one menu. Overall, the Razr offers a great music browsing interface, and as long as you have decent headphones, good audio quality too.
Read the full Motorola Razr review
Sony Ericsson Mix Walkman
Price: Free-£89.95
Processor: 800MHz
Memory: 100MB internal, microSD card up to 32GB
The Sony Ericsson Mix Walkman is the brand's music-focused budget phone. Honestly, it underwhelms with most of its features, but music playback is one area where the handset really shines.
The device only comes with 100MB of internal storage, but with expandability up to 32GB, there is plenty of room to grow your collection. The music playback app is simple but effective, giving you control over standard playback and selection options.
Sound quality is great, and that's why it made the list. Bass is thumpy and top end is clearly defined. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality, considering the other features aren't the best. For just under £90 it's not going to break the bank, so if you're looking for a cheap, decent music experience, the Sony Ericsson Mix Walkman could be the handset for you.
Read the full Sony Ericsson Mix Walkman review
BlackBerry Curve 9360
Price: Free-£299.95
Processor: 800MHz

Manchester man stabbed seven times in $5 robbery
David Richardson was walking to his car from his girlfriend's house on Auburn Street about 1 a.m. Saturday when he was approached by two white men wearing bandanas who demanded his wallet, Keating said.
'He said 'no,' and subsequently a fight took place,' Keating said. 'One of the subjects took out a knife and stabbed the victim seven times.'
Keating said the attackers ended up stealing $5 from Richardson and ran away, heading north. They were not found during a police search.
Richardson was taken to Elliot Hospital, where he was in stable condition Saturday morning, Keating said.
Anyone with information can call police at 668-8711 or the Manchester Crimeline at 624-4040.

Three members of the Canisius College swimming and diving team were honored as MAAC performers of the week, the conference announced on Wednesday.
Junior divers Eddie Quarantillo and Taylor Epstein were tabbed as MAAC Divers of the Week, and sophomore Clare Battaglia earned MAAC Women's Swimmer of the Week honors.
After breaking a record that stood for 18-years in the 1-meter dive on Oct. 26, it took just one week for Quarantillo to up his mark. Quarantillo scored a 316.60 in the 1-meter dive in a first-place finish during the Griffs' dual meet against Geneseo on Saturday. Quarantillo followed that performance with a 342.07 in the 3-meter dive, which shattered his own school-record by 41 points. Quarantillo has now qualified for the NCAA Zone Regionals on both boards. He's the first person in program history to do so.
Battaglia raced her way to three victories – two individual, one relay – in the Griffs' 144-99 victory over Geneseo on Saturday. Battaglia took first in the 200-yard IM with a time of 2:15.29. She then earned her second individual victory of the meet in the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 1:01.42. Battaglia also swam the first leg of the Griffs' 200-medley relay that finished first (1:52.58) to kick off the meet.
Epstein finished in second place on the 3-meter board at Geneseo with a score of 238.35. She finished in third place on the 1-meter board with a score of 232.30.
Quarantillo, Battaglia, Epstein and the Griffs will return to the pool Saturday, Nov. 16 at St. Bonaventure. The meet is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m.
