text: I didn't see a recent thread about what you wear to practice, so I hope it is ok to start a new one. I've just returned to skating so i've been wearing leggings (american apparel winter leggings), whatever shirt, and a light jacket. I just bought some danskin leggings (at walmart, what a deal haha). I feel like I have some skating skirts and stuff at my parents house that would still fit, and tights too.. Hmm. Anyways, now I'm curious what all of you wear!

Luigi Ferrucci named NIA scientific director
Luigi Ferrucci, M.D., Ph.D., an internationally known geriatrician and gerontologist, has been named NIA's new Scientific Director, effective May 8, 2011.
Dr. Ferrucci has served in NIA's Intramural Research Program (IRP) as chief of the Longitudinal Studies Section in the Clinical Research Branch since 2002, where he also directs the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA). Under his leadership, the BLSA has been reconceptualized and revitalized, based on new paradigms about how we age. Findings from this research are aimed at developing ways to reduce the burden of disease and disability for older people.
"I look forward to Dr. Ferrucci's bringing the same compassion, dedication, and innovation that have characterized his career to this new position of leadership in aging research," stated NIA Director, Richard J. Hodes, M.D. in an announcement to NIA staff.
As a physician-researcher with a doctorate in the biology and pathophysiology of aging, Dr. Ferrucci has mentored dozens of scientists and been a resource to gerontologists across the Institute and beyond. His teaching extends to adjunct professorships at both University of Maryland School of Medicine and The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Division of Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology. Dr. Ferrucci has served as Editor of the Journal of Gerontology: Medical Sciences since 2005 and is Associate Editor of the Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, on the editorial board of Geriatría y Gerontología (Barcelona, Spain), and a reviewer for The Wellcome Trust (London, England). He is a member of American Geriatrics Society and the Gerontological Society of America.
Before coming to NIA, Dr. Ferrucci was Assistant Director and Coordinator of the Laboratory of Clinical Epidemiology at the National Institute for Research and Care on Aging in Italy.

Weekend Bookworm: A Really Super Hero
05 July 2013 , 9:15 AM by Rob Minshull
A Really Super Hero by Charlotte Lance
There is a theory that toddlers are not particularly gender specific when it comes to the characters in their stories: they can easily identify with the hero or protagonist whether it is a he or a she.
As they grow older, however, young boys are said to find it harder to read stories with a female in the lead role; girls, on the other hand, are supposed to be less bothered.
I remain to be convinced. My seven-year-old daughter will have nothing to do with Ben 10 and those of his ilk; Batman, Iron Man, the Hulk and Superman might as well have stayed two-dimensional cartoons for all the interest I have failed to generate in the new action-packed Hollywood blockbusters; and we only got to watch Fantastic Four because Sue Storm was one of the heroes. (She was my favourite too but I suspect it was more to do with Jessica Alba than the character herself.) Stories about fairies and princesses continue as the order of the day.
It was, therefore, with great pleasure that we discovered this beautiful new book by the Melbourne-based writer and illustrator Charlotte Lance. Although a mother to two boys (yuk!), with A Really Super Hero, Charlotte Lance has created a quirky, brave and gorgeous girl who uses her ingenuity, patience and courage to confirm her superhero status.
"I want to be a hero
and a REALLY SUPER one,
so my Mum sewed my undies
with an S upon the bum."
A four-lined stanza per page delightfully follows our budding superhero as things get off to a poor start and do not quite go according to plan. Could it all be Mum's fault?
"She tried to sew it straight,
but it turned out all askew,
so in my own hero style
I sideways sort of flew."
Despite her best efforts at mind control, catching crooks, mixing magic potions, rescuing shipwrecked sailors and, of course, soaring the sky like a bird, our superhero never quite succeeds. But, more importantly, she never stops trying.
"I want to mix a potion
to make me super strong,
so when there's hero business
the fighting won't take long.
I try to cook one up,
but I make a thickish cloud.
Now my eyebrows are quite crispy,
and the alarm is sort of loud."
A Really Super Hero is a beautiful book; it is wonderfully warm and simply oozes fun. Charlotte Lance's lightly drawn pencil illustrations are in gorgeous detail and capture the character perfectly.
Just one criticism: once again it is Mum who is constantly in the background, who cooks and cleans and takes our superhero to task. How about a shout for all the many Dads who perform these slightly less than heroic roles? We can be super too you know!

Hi, I dont know if you still want to do this trip,
but i want to add my 0.02 ,too .
I didnt have any experience sailing or on any sailboat .
and 5 years ago I bought my 27ft paceship, used, at the same time I bought some good books about sailing, Annapolis seamanship, storm tactis, and many others , I wanted to travel arround the caribbean, and go to bay islands honduras where i have some friends .
for 4 months I practice in intercoastal waters and bays. and slowly gained confidence and went sailing on the coast, and gulf stream, in florida .
I went bahamas, CUBA (please dont listen to every one, and do not miss it!! ),
isla mujeres, and found my way down, belize , and honduras .
the current againts me, sometimes make it dificult . It is very important DO NO BE IN A HURRY , never say "i have to be there xxx day" , because if that happens eventually you will sail from port with bad weather or not a perfect pronostic.
good luck and have fun!! .
PS: my total budget on this 9 months trip was 10k . and was enough.
with 20k, more than better, for EPIRB and more safety and charts.
ps: sorry for my english .!!
Been in your position
I saw your original post and indeed plan to wade through all the discussion at some point.
Having "taken off" on my first cruises without much background and none in a sailboat large enough to cruise, I have only one suggestion.
Remember that being close to land should be a source of concern not reassurance. If you have a sound boat and are responsible about the weather nothing is going to happen to you. It's a little boaring if the wind goes down and you have nothing to look out.
In contrast, all cruisering sailboats are to some extent underpowered for motoring. When close to shore, staying out of trouble takes a lot of attention and there are lots of things to run into. Running aground is perhaps the most embarassing but is the most trivial of the possibilities.
Going with someone more experience might be a good idea. Having done that I have to add a couple of more thoughts. make sure whomever goes with you is experienced with cruising and comfortable sailing out of site of land. Sailing experience is almost irrelevent. Second, ultimately you can't deffer on matters of safety. It's your boat and your hide.
By the way, despite all the unfortunate events suggested by the above, I'd do it again, and I hope will, without a second thought .
Actually, it's a Maltese/Silk Terrier mix......every man on the planet should pray for a woman who loves them like that dog loves me.....I'm a blessed man....
Still no concrete plans on getting to Honduras but leaning toward bumming a ride since I bought another house (to rehab) and really don't want to commit finances to anything else till it's sold.
Right you are Bill.......thanks all!
Long overdue

Good luck, Buckeye, whatever you decide.
Is the dog (a cairn terrier I assume) going along for the ride?. Mine enjoys sailing we had him offshore 4, 5 days at the time. He is only a bit unsecure when the going gets too tough.
On another subject. the advice of gaining experience crewing is an excellent one . You will soon discover that on the most uptodate vessel. THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING GOING WRONG. and you will gain valuable experinece learning how to fix them or jury rig them.
I have crewed thousand of offshore miles by joining Offshore sailing oportunities. It cost $150 for the year and you will find dozens of offers from the east coast (Newport all the way S to Ft Lauderdale ) to the carribean. starting November. there are also quite a lot of offers for the second leg from the Carribean to S and Central America.
All expenses onboard are paid.
|Hmmm - well then I will play devil's advocate to myself if time isn't that tight. If you find a ride, you will be on somone else's schedule. The perfect situation would be an experienced sailing companion (buddy boat or on your boat) that you could trust that would stay with or near the boat while you visited your daughter. I would still want to get the boat fairly soon to get used to the rigging and general handling to alleviate concern about accidentally boogering equipment on the trip. Not everyone does that, but it happens to a lot of us with the first boat. You forget to do something in sequence and break some fitting or block or whatever. It would not be that big of a deal if you are tooling around near well stocked marinas and your slip and your car.
Helps a lot Funsail.....thanks.......it's especially nice to hear from someone who's been there and done it.....
Arbarnhart.......thanks for your input as well.........
Time isn't really demanding........I'm self employed so if the trip takes 6 months that wouldn't really be too big of a deal......I had just penciled in three months to get back for the "work season"
I have been a quiet reader of this thread, because I am a small boat sailor and not really a blue water guy yet (someday). I think you are leaning toward a good answer, if you can find passage. You would get an opportunity to learn a lot and probably be a more informed buyer when you get back. My gut feeling, based largely on what I read and hear from others, is that your odds of it not working out as planned if you try to do it in the time alloted are kind of high. I am not a gloom and doom prophet who thinks you are going to get crushed by the sea. I am thinking about this as if I were contemplating it and with my level of experience (plenty of sailing, not that great at it, but no long cruises or big boats) and I would worry about accidentally damaging the boat or needed equipment by forgetting to do something at the appropriate time or trying to adapt my route to wind and current and having that not go as planned or whatever. If you read blue water cruising stories, you will find it is really common for people to have a long unplanned layover on thier first long trip, especially if they are pretty new to sailing. The failure I would be worried about is more likely to be disappointment than death (thought that would be fairly disappointing as well). If I understand correctly, even if things go well you won't have all that much time in Honduras.
|Thought I'd add my 2 cents, I've made this trip 6 times and my next will be in April. I have taken the north route around Cuba any time from January through August. I have been to Cuba 7 times, the last being in November. The reality is that more likely than not if you want to stop in at Hemingway Marina in Havana nothing ill will come of it. There are Americans living full time there with out any problems. The crossing over from Florida will most likely be short choppy seas(4-6) feet. From the west side of Cuba hugging the coast it's a short hop(approx. 50 miles) to Cancun. I've only ever made this crossing once that the seas were 3 feet or possibly less. Staying about 10-15 miles off Cuba will keep you out of the current while you are heading west. A spinnaker will help save on fuel since you are in the most northerly Trade Winds. No book learning here just been there and done that (a lot). Since this is my back yard, I'm quite familiar with it. After all they cross the Atlantic in an open rowboat. Hope this helps.
Buckeye, You are in my general area. If you purchase a boat around here that has rigging issues and want to handle them yourself. Let me know. I would be happy to help out in anyway that I can.
I usually have to read Jody's post a few times too. Usually worth it when it finally sinks in.

|Could you make your Ford logo a snap in insert? Then you could hide screws or studs under the logo. I know it would be in the center, but it could add a lot of the needed strength to the mounting setup..
|There's another way to do it using screw in studs and fabric covered buttons that go over the top of the studs once they are screwed in. The buttons are called Dura Snap buttons. Or, you could use the screw in studs and chrome or colored snap on buttons. ( the kind used on boat covers)
|Hoping you wouldn't say that. I was trying to come up with a way not to use screws. I believe your right and I'll have to screw it down. Haven't give up on it yet tho. Still looking and think. But I'm just about running out of ideas. What ever i do. I'll let yea know. Car does ride rough. It has coilover drag race suspension in rear and only has about 2 1/2 to 3 inches of travel. Then it smacks the coilover bump rubbers. So it needs to be mounted strong. Probably use some screws with black covers. Thanks Tim
|I would be concerned with the vibration back there and the bouncing the rear end does when going over a bump. It could break the clips away from the fiberglass, and then you'd be doing it all over again. You might want to screw the lid on instead of using the clips, unless you can get the clips to hold really, really tight. There are a couple ways to screw it on. The simplest is to just use chrome or stainless finish washers, or you can buy Au-Ve-Co oval head tapping screws that have a washer already attached. I would drill a real small pilot hole for the screws through the fiberglass insert and the trunk lid all at the same time before putting any fabric over the closed cell foam. Good luck.
|Looking good tim!
Thanks Dan, I have a few questions if you don't mind. I made this rear deck lid insert out of fiberglass. It came out good, but it has some small dips. In other words its not completely flat. I used some bondo to fill most of the dips. But it started to get heavy. So i stopped and thought it would be better to use some closed cell foam. I bought some 1/4 inch thick closed cell foam. Still have some 1/8 inch left over from headliner. So i figure id cover it with 1/4 then sand it down so its flat. Then i would like to put a Ford emblem in the middle. See link. Using black and blue leather. I bought two different type of clips to attach it to the deck. Do you believe the clips will hold it on ? My guess is it should weigh like 5 pounds when done. Any info you could share would be greatly appreciated. Its almost completely flat now. So it would only require a little sanding to be flat. Then i could start on my design.
pic of emblem. Ive never have worked with this foam. So any info on how to go about making this design would help a lot. Thanks Tim

Good job. I really like the console door and the subwoofer box.
You're going to have a great looking car when you're done.
Hey guys, wanted to update this thread. Got my console completed, and my trunk is almost complete. Changed the design on my sub woofer box and where its at. Now its a spare tire well sub box. I used some black and blue leather. Made a design out of plywood. Then covered it with lift over headliner foam. Black leather is what i bought to do my seats. Didn't like it as well as some other black i bought. Might as well use it up. Most of it will go in trunk area. Now summer is in full force. probably wont do much more till it cools off. Just to hot right now. This winter I'll finish it and post some final pics. Dan Thanks for all your help. Tim............ I have to get some more of sub box installed. Its sets in the middle of trunk floor and carpet is flush with the leather. Just need to get some new pics.

Believe it or not. I just received a sample of my snake. So here it is. What do you think ? She does have to order some silver thread. Thread she was using to make this sample was breaking. So she is getting thicker thread and some leather needles for her machines. I like it. Looks killer in person. Thanks Tim,,,,,,I'm still at it..
Shot with FinePix 3800 at 2009-06-10
|So no one has an opinion on what colors ?? OK silver/ black and blue it is. Thanks guys. Or no one gives a %^$&..
I guess at this point i should just make the best of it. Get some opinions on what everyone thinks would look best. I wanted it metallic silver and black like the ones on the side of my car. Except the snake would have a blue belly and i ask her to make the eye red. Ive painted the belly on the ones on my car. So ask her to make them match. This is the same pics i sent her and the same emblems that are on the side of my car. Headrest looks good. It has the word Shelby just like the console, so i'll keep them. Just have her down size it on the console and redo the ones on seats. What colors do y'all think would look good on the snake ? Any opinion welcome. Thanks Tim
|Yes i payed her. The bad part is I've known her and her husband for years and they are good people. She will take care of it I'm sure. Just makes me mad. I'll have to wait till i cool off and go in. She is one of the nicest persons that i've ever met. She tried to change my headliner and i found out before she had a chance to do it "her way". She wanted to make it smaller and i had here make it big as she could. Maybe she figure that i wanted this snake as big as possible also. This time i was busy and didn't stop by to check on it. She doesn't do any car stuff. Mostly hat and shirts, stuff like that. I should of stayed on her and make sure she did it the way i wanted. This job has been two steps forward and one back from the beginning. I shouldnt be surprised....
|I hope you didn't pay her for inferior work. It's her job to do what you want, not what she thinks looks good.
|More to it then just how it looks. You can see from the pics that i have about 8 inches total room for this snake. The snake she made is 8 1/2 inches long. I gave here both pieces of material. The original and the new one i cut. I did tell here that i probably wouldn't put the pleats back in like the original. But still it wont fit. If you look close you can see where the word Shelby touches the blue french stitch on my console lid. So this cost me 250. For wrong color and just all around crappy job. Why she made this snake that big and the wrong color i just don't understand. I couldn't believe it when i first seen it. I didn't pick it up. Wife had a doctors appointment and i sent one of my guys down to pick it up. BAD DAY.... It was like, don't talk to me right now. Just stay away from me for a while. 250 + another hide and i need to make a new console lid cover. I'll never will go back. I sent two e-mails and pics, size and colors of what i wanted and all of the leather to make sure it was right. I don't get it and this took three weeks of my time. Kind of just makes you want to say F.I.
hey it all looks real good i will be doing
my 1953 Chevy 210 soon i will have to
read up and get a lot of tips but again
it looks great

After much consideration I have decided to stop publishing Zine World.
I announced in November my intent to step down ad publisher and head editor of ZW. At that time I had hoped to create a new editorial team to relaunch the zine. A few people stepped forward; unfortunately, we haven't been able to gain traction, and I can no longer continue as the zine's leader. My life has changed over the past few years, and I can no longer give the zine the time and energy it deserves.…

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Eyes opend, thanks, did not think I could see them.
|painted jester
|I am going to look into all of the answers. I took the truck on a run,[10 mile round trip] and had a buddy follow me and this is what we found out. When I did 30 he said he was going 25, I 55 he 40 . The shift from 1'st to 2'nd was at 14 mph on my speedomiter, 2"nd to 3"rd on my speedomiter was 24. We also confermed that I have a posi. rear end. I am going to chech oil and put in 30 wight royal purple,also check lift and I dont think it has roller lifters but I should check. To check this can I use dial indicater on top of lobe? Should it hang up on top of lobe longer, with it's profile? Thanks againe for all help.
A 1.6 rocker can give you slightly more area under the curve, so could potentially have a positive effect on performance AND mileage. But an accurate set of 1.5 ratio rockers would be my first choice for ease of use and reliability.
|painted jester
It would reduce valve spring pressure reducing some load and friction and decrease total lift at the valves reducing a little of the load on the cam lobes and lifters! it may be so minuet you wouldn't know it? do you have roller rockers (1.5s) to replace the 1.7s with ,of the same configuration? you may need to get different push rods of the proper length or lash caps depending on where the roller rides on the valve stem tip! If your running 20/50 oil and change to 10/30 it will help! But with only 45 minutes on the engine loaded I would run strait 30 with good zddp content for a few hundred miles and then change to a multigrade and keep running zddp! You can check tire pressures, a little more air can give better mileage but don't over inflate! As the engine breaks in during the 300 hundred or so miles and the engine loosens up your mileage will increase! running a 185 thermostat would help, the small blocks had a 185 to 190 optimum operating range! High pressure oil pumps cause poor mileage a 80 pound oil pressure takes a lot of torque from the engine whats your oil pressure? Whats your mileage when you check it?
Are you running a new carb? Check your vacuum at idle if that cam has a large duration and low vacume your power valve may be opening at idle! or it could be blown from a back fire if its an old carb? If its blown you can screw the metering screws (on each side of the front metering block) in all the way and if the engine keeps running the power valve is most likely blown if it stalls the valve is good!
|I was probebly typing as you were. I will check the lift and let you know. Also was told converter is stock and it drives ,from stop and through gears fine. The 350 trans was beefed up for raceing and before I got the truck it had a race engine in it but my brother took out for his project. Then he sold truck to person I got it from and that person got a engine for it but no one knows what it is eccept for what I said earlier. Broke in engine by one hr at 1800 rpm's than seated the rings by loading and unloading for 30 minuts,probebly not more than45 miles on engine. The thing runs goog,strong,no oil leaks temps. good,and on boging or hesitation.If the dial indicater reads around stock cam, and I put 1.5's for rockers,whith the right push rod geometry, will this help on gas consumption?
|painted jester
You may have rear gears for a lugger like 4.88s, the cam could be retarded or a top end grind (not officiant till high rpm), you may not have enough initial or total advance. starting at the carb. to save gas is not where I would start. did you install the 1.7 ratio rockers? can you put a dial indicator on the heal of the rocker (at the push rod) and give us the lift of the cam lobes I&E? How many miles on this engine since you assembled and started it? Is it a roller or flat tapit ? If its an automatic does it have a stall converter?
|I was able to upload some picturs to my profile but I still havent found out how to upload on question page
|Yes, just got it. the engine was a new rebild about eight yeas ago. No one had the slightest idea what was done. I got it at the right price so I took a chance. When I got the truck,[1969], I didn't have a lot of $$ to spend on. The engine was sitting in truck,no wires,moter mounts not bolted,and the carb was just sitting on top.Out of my garage I put it together with stuff I had, even welded my own dual fuel line,it had rubber hose all over it. I even made my own air cleaner standoff from a folgers coffee can and vacume line. I wanted to know a little about what was done,so I pulled the engine and on the stand pulled the oil pan. There was no oil in every thing was dry and tight. The crank was marked 10 over on mains and rods.Also it was,[by the numbers a 1969 327 or 350 block].In any case it was a two bolt main block. Not having a lot of $$ I just checked the touqe on each and put back. Wanted to pull heads but didn't want to buy head gaskets, bolts were tourqed good.The heads are 194's. All I wanted to do with this truck was to go get stuff with it, Not spend a lot on mony that I need for my other project,a 62 chevy stepside. That's my story and if I knew how, I would show pics. but I only know how to put them on my prfile. Hay, thanks for all the help, Im new to site and hope to be on a lot without to many dumb questions.
|painted jester
|thanks for the reply.After the secondaries are secured shut,will there be a problem with the fuel in the rear bowl ,and would it help to change the 1.7 roller tip rockers that came with the truck to 1.5 roller tip rockers I have hanging in garage,would this help with fule cunsumption
|painted jester
You would be better off going to a heavier spring in the secondary vacuum diaphragm so it open's later. but you can disconnect it at the bottom of the secondary vacuum actuator where it hooks to the secondary linkage! its a good idea to tie it closed so it cant accidentally open and stick ! Then you will be running off the primary's!
I see 327 already gave you a good answer! While I was typing LOL
|Easy...keep your foot out of it, also install a stiffer secondary diaphram spring so they won't open as easily. The first is much easier.
holly carb
can any one tell me if you can stop the secondaries from opening on a 650 holly with vacume secondaries. I want to run on the tinny primaries to save gas. I was thinking of blocking fuel to that side, [it's a dule inlet carb], but i did't know if it would mess up somthing. And no I can't aford to by a two barrel and intake manifold just now. I just started,broke in engine, but cant aford it,it suck the fuel. Thanks for any help

Information on Seattle Alleys
Does your alley need repair? Sometimes it is difficult to know if maintaining an alley is the City of Seattle's responsibility, or the responsibility of adjacent property owners. Continue reading to learn more.
SDOT has limited funds to repair and maintain the City's road network. The overall need for maintenance and repairs well exceeds our allocated budget. Because paving needs are so great, we prioritize the repair of streets by their classification
Visit our Street Classifications Web Page to learn what functions our streets can serve and to see maps.
The Department of Planning and Development administers the City's land use code and can help you understand it.
You should also visit SDOT's Street Use Counter. Plan reviewers are available for coaching at the street use counter and can help you determine whether you want to move forward through the design process. Any improvements will need a Street Use Permit. If an alley is modified it can change how water drains. As you move through the permitting process, city staff will make sure that any changes made won't impact surrounding private and public properties.
Unfortunately, many of the City's unpaved alleys require significant design and engineering to improve. In addition to just paving the alley, other infrastructure (e.g. drainage and retaining walls) may need to be installed, and there may be significant grading required as well. All of these things increase the cost of improvements.

Congrats on the new barrel.
I have a couple of questions for you related to your gun.
First, what sort of groupings were you getting with the stock barrel?
Second, if you've shot other 9mm Glocks (particularly the 19), what's the recoil like on the 34? From a physics standpoint, it should be less but I was hoping you might be able to shed some further light on that.

Okay, here's a thought. The general premise of the original post is that the langstroth hive is somehow detrimental to the well being of the honey bee then it must follow that the user of the langstroth design must not care for the well being of the honey bee. Well let's extrapolate that a bit. The lang is nothing more or less than one of the many end results of a centuries old quest for a way to contain the honey bee colony for the end result of harvesting honey. This quest began with the simple container whether it be pottery, log or skep and progressed to the first major breakthrough in the TBH and eventually to the concept of "beespace" and the langstroth. So the TBH is nothing more or less than the first major evolutionary step in the practice of harvesting honey from the honey bee.Since lang keepers are interested in nothing more than harvesting honey and the TBH is but merely a step in that direction would that not make the TBH just as equally or maybe more culpable in this human induced "assault" on the honey bee?Just a thought.To continue, is it the "exploitation" of the honey bee that drives this thread and if so wouldn't that make any human intervention tbh or lang equally "wrong"?

OK, I re-worded the title a bit. This is a presentation I did for the Portland Business Journal's Biz Dev seminar series with Dayn from Grady Britton. The actual title of the session was "Search Marketing: (Still) the Killer App of Marketing Your Business Online". I was asked to talk about why search engine marketing is so effective, how it can work with other channels, and what's in store for the future of search.
Since social media marketing is such a hot topic, and Dayn's previous presentations in the series had talked so much about an online brand's presence being bigger than their website, I decided to talk primarily about integrating SEO & Social Media Marketing. Here's the presentation, along with audio.

NASA Rover Curiosity Lands Successfully on Mars, To Explore Surface for 2 Years

Mars rover Curiosity's shadow in Gale Crater
(Source: NASA Twitter)
The $2.5 billion project was made in hopes of discovering that the Red Planet once harbored materials needed for life
NASA celebrated a major victory early Monday morning as its
Mars rover Curiosity
made a successful landing on the Red Planet.
NASA rover Curiosity is a one-ton, nuclear-powered, six-wheeled, Mini Cooper-sized machine that was originally called the Mars Science Laboratory -- because that's exactly what it is. It was made to explore Martian territory for a two-year period in hopes of discovering that the planet once harbored materials needed for life. The project cost $2.5 billion.
Curiosity launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida on November 26, 2011. It has made its way through space for eight months before touching down on Mars. It covered about 352 million miles during that eight-month period.
This morning's landing was not an easy one. Many doubted that NASA could pull off such a stunt because the actual maneuver consisted of a giant parachute and a rocket pack lowering the huge laboratory onto a specific area, and errors were not allowed if NASA engineers wanted Curiosity to stay intact. Also, about 70 percent of missions to Mars have ended in failure, so landing the largest vehicle on the planet seemed impossible.
"It's like us launching something from Kennedy Space Center and having it land in the Rose Bowl, on the 50-yard-line, on a frisbee," said Charlie Bolden, NASA Administrator.
The landing was the most sophisticated and largest of its kind. Over a period of seven minutes, which NASA referred to as "seven minutes of terror," a series of maneuvers took place to ensure that Curiosity landed safely. Seventy-nine pyrotechnic detonations were required for the release of exterior ballast weights, deploying the parachute, removal from the heat shield, etc. If any of these were to fail, the mission would've failed.
However, after entering Martian atmosphere at a speed of over 13,000 MPH, then hitting Martian soil, Earth received radio signals for confirmation of its landing after a bit of a delay. It landed at 1:32 a.m. EDT in the exact area that it was supposed to reach --
the Gale Crater
At that point, NASA engineers celebrated and high-fived over the successful landing.
"There are many out in the community that say NASA has lost its way, that we don't know how to explore, that we've lost our moxie," said John Grunsfeld, Associate Administrator for NASA's Science Mission Directorate. "I want you to look around tonight. All those folks with the blue shirts, and think about what we've achieved. I think it's fair to say that
NASA knows how to explore
. We've been exploring, and we're on Mars."
The project may have cost $900 million over budget, but it turned out to be a great milestone for American space travel. NASA definitely needed this boost after retiring its space shuttle fleet last year, which consisted of the Discovery, Endeavour, and Atlantis spacecrafts. American astronauts were then left to depend on Russia to reach the International Space Station (ISS), but private rocket company SpaceX stepped in to save the day shortly thereafter. SpaceX, which is owned by Elon Musk,
successfully launched its unmanned Dragon capsule
to the ISS in May.
Curiosity will now undergo a series of tests before searching for signs of life (or the ingredients for life) on the Red Planet for two years. It will use instruments like a large robot arm, a weather station, a laser that can vaporize rocks at seven meters, a percussive drill and 4.8kg of plutonium-238.

Just got this in. WOOOHOOOO!!!! Clone trooper armor from R2Lass on clonetroopers.net
Everything looks real good but I also have no basis for comparison. The plastic is nice and thick,standard 1/8 ". It is a little thin on the chest and back sides but most of that will be trimmed away anyway, so no biggie there. I'm diggin it and will more than likely start it after the new year and after I finish upgrading my custom Mando.

I noticed that in Sheed's press conference, he didn't forget to mention Nazr when he talked about the depth at his position. He said something like 'I don't mind going out of the game when I get in foul trouble because we have guys like Dale, Dyess, Maxiell, and Nazr who can come in and bring what I bring.' That was a classy thing to say, cause Nazr is definitly not being used and doesn't bring what Sheed brings anyway.
Sheed's a team guy. Always been a hothead, but I think his legacy will be kind to him.
Cleveland is not that good but better than people give them credit for. One thing, their coach knows our offense and what to do to jam it up. Agree with DBA that Billips (or Saunders) hasn't figured out how to counter them. We still haven't countered their assault on our offense. We just are not scoring at key points or worse, making turnovers The wins are big, a bit lucky, very gutsy, very skillful (like that Sheed shot) but lucky too. A championship run always has that luck factor going one way or another. 2-0 is not over and done but we are near to tasting our initial goal. Yes, we are a better team yet they have outplayed us for huge patches of games. They compete with us quite well. A puzzle. Right DBA, they slowed down Rip without losing much. Amazing. Our defense is still our calling card but we really need to have a more functioning offense. Maxiel is that type of speed/change of pace type player that Larry was calling for way back when. I wish he were more experienced but I will take what he brings right now: plus or minus.
We are living on the edge here with these close victories. We have to give the Cavs more credit than we have and the Pistons need to respect them a little more so that they are not in this position. Like Magic Johnson said, we are winning these because we have more weapons than the Cavs, but our intensity has to be for 40-48 minutes and not for 12-20. Eventually they will win one of these games so we have to cut the turnovers and exploit their so called weekeness....but do we know what they are?? Although we won the second half 41-26, we had 8 turnoevers in the 4th qtr and and only one Fg in the last 5 minutes of the game....We got to stop slacking off, protect the ball and get both CB and Tay more involved in the offense. Scoring in the 70's does not bode well for the Pistons and it will be a nailbiter. Lets get this in the high 80's with another combined 15 pts from CB and Tay.
I'm not so upset by game 2. We seem to have taken care of the game 1 rebounding woes. Took care of Big Z and Gooden while continuing to keep Hughes down. Sure, we were hurt more often by the 3pt shot and LBJ had a little more fun early on. The mix changed a bit but all in all our defense was just as effective. I'm pleased that we found Webber better shots. FlipS recognizes no value in playing Hunter and is exploring other options like Tay and Los at PG. In a series one should witness continuous improvement. Of course that dosen't mean the Cavs won't pull a Chigaco in game three hitting everything launched.
Isn't that Flip's calling card? Wasn't he brought in to shore up the offense? 79 points both games. I guess he doesn't have the guys to run his offense.
Gazoo, Offense was Flip's calling card. Don't know who to blame: the players (including Billips), the coach or Cleveland defense. Our main offensive problem in this series is not that we don't have a back up although that is a glaring deficiency. For two games, even the first team has been turnover city. LA Dre, it is too close for comfort. Lemonpen, the defense has been very good but can we continue to expect that level of defense? I think we have to score some to lock away this series. Otherwise, it is a struggle. I felt that they would go after Rip in game two. So, what were our adjustments? What we showed in the third quarter was comforting. We showed that we could locked them down and score some. But just when we get in a good position the offense stalls. Two wins to none is still huge any which way. We need to get the team operating on all cylinders to finish this series the way we want it.
I thought one of the adjustments was to get CWebb more involved in the offense early (which may have also been in part to get Big Z to expend some energy on that end of the floor so he couldn't do as much damage on the offensive side), but CWebb couldn't finish his shots in the paint --- if he had, the Pistons would've had a 6 to 10 point lead at the end of the first quarter. Agreed about the other point of yours (quoted). Pistons held serve, which is good, but nothing to be too proud of at this point.
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a372/ddot313/wall2wall.jpg thank you for the poster material maxiell.
Hey folks, just wanted to mention that there is some extra stuff at the end of the Sheed interview you can hear on the audio file here http://www.pistonsforum.com/90804-post35.html I won't ruin it, but he cracks a joke that isn't in the transcripts and then the NBATV guys, Frank Isola and Rick Kamla beef on him playfully for his comments on the refs. Sheed got a ton of love on NBATV last night.
Sheed's a cool dude...comically honest no matter the circumstance...nice balance of swagger & humility. The kids can learn a lot from a guy like him...I hope he retires a Piston.
hey guys. sorry no hog blog yet, and probably by the time i post it no one will care anyway...but i PROMISE i have some fun stuff to share. but! i've been busy, and i'm off to the airport in a few minutes, so i'll try to give my report when i get to (hopefully) sunny FL sometime during the day.
woops. sorry, just got on a computer now...seems kind of late to post a report...but this game was awesome. it was really loud at the end, the crowd was pretty into it for much of the game, and yeah. other random notes - alan anderson was at the game, the little girl next to me made the loudest thunderstick noises ever, and after the game i was walking in the parking lot and saw a couple making out in a truck, and as he went to kiss her neck she looked at me and we started laughing. that is all!
Yeah, I'm in the same boat as you. This was the first game I've ever been to and I was planning on doing a write-up on it when I got home, but I got back pretty late and was too tired to do one and I've been pretty busy ever since. Needless to say, my dad and I both had an awesome time. Our seats weren't the greatest, but that didn't matter. I bought my 2 year old daughter a Rip Hamilton jersey and a Pistons hat from the gift shop and had a lot of fun this week dressing her up and posing her next to her basketball net for pictures!
sweet jammer! lemme know if you're going again and wanna meet up.

Sirolimus, Cyclosporine, and Mycophenolate Mofetil In Preventing GVHD for Undergoing Donor Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplant (FHCRC-2206)
A Phase II Study to Assess Immunosuppression with Sirolimus Combined with Cyclosporine (CSP) and Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) for Prevention of Acute GVHD after Non-myeloablative HLA Class I or II Mismatched Donor Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation. A Multi-Center Trial

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving total-body irradiation together with sirolimus, cyclosporine, and mycophenolate mofetil before and after transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving sirolimus together with cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil works in preventing graft-vs-host disease in patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant.

The Canisius women's basketball team used a 13-3 second-half run and forced a season-high 25 turnovers to defeat Monmouth 60-52 in front of a capacity crowd in the Koessler Athletic Center on Kid's Day on Friday. The Golden Griffins won for the third time in last four games and improve to 7-10 overall and 3-5 in the MAAC.
Senior Jen Morabito led Canisius with 12 points, one of three Griffs in double figures. Junior Kayla Hoohuli added 11 points, her fourth straight game in double figures. Sophomore Tiahana Mills scored 11 points while redshirt junior Courtney VandeBovenkamp had nine points, eight rebounds and three steals.
"We did some things today that really help teams when they aren't making shots," Canisius coach Terry Zeh said. "We stuck to our defensive game plan and answered Monmouth's run in the second half. When the shots did fall, we had given ourselves a chance to regain control.
"As always, it was a great atmosphere on Kid's Day, and we love playing in front of more than 2,000 students from the Buffalo area."
The teams combined for 23 first-half turnovers and neither squad shot over 30 percent in a sloppy opening 20 minutes. A six-point run by the Griffs gave them a 17-12 lead as Canisius held Monmouth to four points during a span of more than 10 minutes. Monmouth overcame its 15 first-half turnovers and 27.6 percent shooting with 12 offensive rebounds. Canisius took a four-point lead into the locker room, taking advantage of the free-throw line in the first half.
The game opened up offensively in the second half, with both teams shooting over 45 percent. Canisius maintained its lead for the first 10 minutes of the second half, before Monmouth scored eight straight points to go up 40-36 with 8:37 left.
Canisius answered by scoring on six of its next seven possessions, starting and ending with baskets from Mills, to go up 49-43 as the Griffs wouldn't relinquish the lead down the stretch. With a 49-46 lead with 2:18 left, a 3-pointer from Monmouth rattled out, and Hoohuli came down and drained a 3-pointer from the right wing in front of the Canisius bench to put the Griffs up by six with 1:04 remaining. Canisius went 8-for-10 from the free-throw line in the final minute to put the game away.
Shira Shecht led Monmouth (4-13, 3-4 MAAC) with 10 points. The Griffs held Monmouth's leading scorer Chevannah Paalvast to five points and forced her into seven turnovers and Paalvast fouled out in 21 minutes.
Canisius wraps up the weekend against Marist College on Sunday, with tipoff in the Koessler Athletic Center set for 3 p.m. All fans are encouraged to wear orange to the game in support of Alice's Army. For more information, click here.
Notes: Canisius improved to 8-2 all-time on Kid's Day games in the KAC and won for the sixth time in seven years… Hoohuli has scored in double figures in four straight games for the first time in her career… The Griffs had a season-high 10 steals… Senior Jamie Ruttle moved into 19th place on the career scoring list and now has 1,060 points in her career… Senior Jen Lennox had two or more blocks for the 20th time in her career… Canisius forced 25 turnovers for the first time since Dec. 4, 2011, against Colgate.

In this podcast, I talk to Mitchell Sogin, the Director of the Josephine Bay Paul Center for Comparative Molecular Biology and Evolution at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Wood's Hole, Massachusetts.
Dr. Sogin is one of the leaders of an ambitious project to survey the microbes of the ocean--which total over 36,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 cells. Using the latest DNA-sequencing technology, Dr. Sogin and his colleagues are cataloging microbes from all over the world, and are discovering a genetic diversity in the microbial world far exceeding anyone's expectations.
Dr. Sogin explained how most species they find only exist in small numbers, while a minority of species dominate their samples. Dr. Sogin is investigating how this "rare biosphere" changes the way we understand how the ocean's ecosystems work.

Nev and Max, the guys behind Catfish: The TV Show, talk to Seventeen about the Manti Te'o hoax and the tell-tale signs that your online crush is a fake.
How To Meet Hot Guys On Vacation!
When news broke that Manti Te'o, Notre Dame's star football player, had been supposedly duped by an online relationship, Catfish: The TV Show creators Nev and Max weren't surprised. Manti had been in a long distance relationship with a girl named Lennay, who he initially met on Twitter. Though they talked on the phone for years, they never met in person because Lennay was allegedly in the hospital with cancer complications. Then, Manti got the message that Lennay had died. He was heartbroken.
But the story took an even darker turn when it was revealed that Lennay never existed: Her Twitter and Facebook profiles were created by Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, an acquaintance of Manti's who has also been accused of impersonating the voice of Lennay. When Seventeen heard about the story, we gave Nev and Max a call to get their reaction, and advice on how to spot a fake online.
Seventeen: What was running through your head when the Manti news story broke?
Nev: I thought, "Well, it happened again. Someone was 'catfished.'" What did surprise me was that the athletic director at Notre Dame made the connection to Catfish: The TV Show right away.
Max: It was intense for us to be commenting on someone's life when we had never met him.

The implied conclusion is that someone needs to get busy educating those small business owners. After all, we can't have them left behind as larger businesses move to the cloud.
But if the survey had asked just one more question, we might be able to draw a different conclusion. It would be insightful to know how many of these same business owners are using any of the following:
- an online meeting tool such as gotomeeting, Webex, or LotusLive
- an online CRM tool such as Salesforce or SugarCRM
- an accounting package that provides online interactivity with a bank
If the promise of cloud computing is true, small business owners shouldn't have to know what it is. They shouldn't have to be able to describe it. Instead, they would be able to to say things like, "I reduced the fixed costs of running my business and optimized on the variable costs that fluctuate with my customer base."
Small Business Owners are not technologists. But we are. And although we love to articulate the finer nuances of cloud computing, (don't get me started on that silly TV ad where editing family photos is "in the cloud") it should not be our mission to indoctrinate this valuable market segment about what constitutes a cloud and what doesn't. Our mission here is to provide the solutions that make their businesses more efficient, profitable, and successful.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Other issues where an automatic is connected to the oil cooler is a high stall converter and or internal band/clutch slippage is building heat in the oil. This gets dumped in the radiator's coolant adding to what it has to get rid of. Engine timing and mixture ratios can also contribute to coolant heat load. So does air conditioning, when it's used it takes considerable power off the engine that's made up for with more throttle and the cabin heat is usually disposed of in front of the radiator adding temperature to the air entering the radiator. So the radiator gets a double whammy out of this deal.
Thermostat, unless failing to remain open, has no effect on this problem. If you use a 160 stat instead of a 200 all you'll see is that you get another 5 minutes before the problem shows on the gauge, BFD.
A 454 connected to a TH350 and a 10 bolt rear is probably not a factory installation, so what is the history of this thing?
74 Chevelle Overheating
Thanks Guys, I Have Already Changed The Thermostat 4 Times 160-180-190-and Then A 180 Again.my Bottom Rad Hose Is New And It Does Have The Spring In It.so I Will Try A New Rad. And Put The Spacers In The Hood To See If That Works Thanks Again.
I Will Let U Guys Know How I Make Out
Even so this sounds so simple, change the thermostat. Couple of years back I had the same issue and couldn`t figure out why it ran warm on the interstate but not in stop and go traffic. I finally thought "I wonder if the thermostat is staying open" I removed it, put it in a pot of boiling water with a temp gauge and found it stayed open after it got up to opening temp, when the water in the pot finally cooled below a 100 degrees, it would close.
Since then I have found it`s hard to get a good thermostat, regardless of the name brand, every name brand I tried has failed on me so I kept buying stants until I got a good one.
I have similar problems with an SBC 350 in my '75 GMC, so I've been reading through various articles and troubleshooting guides.
Most troubleshooting guides says that high speed cooling problems are usually due to insufficient radiator capacity (either too small, or plugged up), or insufficient water flow. The guides also say that some type of air flow limitation is also a possible source, either due to air damming up in the engine compartment, or missing air dams/skirts that let air go around the radiator.
For your BBC, checking the lower hose and pump for proper operation, and then switching to a four row radiator is probably the logical first step, followed by a switch to a high flow water pump. The suggestion about removing the hood seal or propping it up at the back to allow more airflow is also a good idea, since its very cheap to try.
|I would say that you need at least a 4 core radiator.A 3 core is a little small for a big block.If you are making over 400 horse I would say that's your problem.
Running hot on the highway, but cool in traffic could be that the engine bay is restricting the egress of hot air at speed or cooling air is going around the radiator at speed due to the configuration of the frontal components on the car or the bottom radiator hose is collapsing due to lack of an internal spring to keep it round. It could be a myriad of goofy things too, like the water pump impeller spinning on the drive shaft at higher engine speeds.
I would first check the bottom radiator hose for a spring. Then I might make some spacers to space the rear of the hood up off the cowl by 1 1/2 to 2 inches and see what happens at speed. That will tell you if the air has been damming up in the engine bay. Take a look through this wiki article and see if anything jumps out at you, in addition to what I've said.

Prosecutor's Management and Information System (PROMIS), New Orleans, 1979 (ICPSR 8219)
Principal Investigator(s): Institute for Law and Social Research
The Prosecutor's Management and Information System (PROMIS) is a computer-based management information system for public prosecution agencies. PROMIS was initially developed with funds from the United States Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA) to cope with the problems of a large, urban prosecution agency where mass production operations had superseded the traditional practice of a single attorney preparing and prosecuting a given case from inception to final disposition. The combination of massive volumes of cases and the assembly-line fragmentation of responsibility and control had created a situation in which one case was indistinguishable from another and the effects of problems at various stages in the assembly line on ultimate case disposition went undetected and uncorrected. One unique feature of PROMIS that addresses these problems is the automated evaluation of cases. Through the application of a uniform set of criteria, PROMIS assigns two numerical ratings to each case: one signifying the gravity of the crime through a measurement of the amount of harm done to society, and the other signifying the gravity of the prior criminal record of the accused. These ratings make it possible to select the more important cases for intensive, pre-trial preparation and to assure even-handed treatment of cases of like gravity. A complementary feature of PROMIS is the automation of reasons for decisions made or actions taken along the assembly line. Reasons for dismissing cases prior to trial on their merits can be related to earlier cycles of postponements for various reasons and to the reasoning behind intake and screening decisions. The PROMIS data include information about the defendant, case characteristics and processes, charge, sentencing and continuance processes, and the witnesses/victims involved with a case. PROMIS was first used in 1971 in the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia. To enhance the ability to transfer the PROMIS concepts and software to other communities, LEAA awarded a grant to the Institute for Law and Social Research (INSLAW) in Washington, DC. The New Orleans PROMIS data collection is a product of this grant.
