Blog post - Dr. Schlessinger on 50 years in genetics research
Dr. David Schlessinger shares reflections on the birth of a new science, molecular biology, and his more than 50 years in genetics research. "When I first entered my mentor Jim Watson's office as a graduate student in ancient times (i.e., 1957), I saw a slip of paper fastened by scotch tape to the fluorescent light fixture over his desk. On it he had clearly printed in ink: DNA --> RNA --> protein," writes Dr. Schlessinger, who works in NIA's Intramural, or in-house, Research Program.

It depends.
The hoods are to keep glare off the sights and in the case of the front sight, offer a layer of protection. My 5.5 Pro Target has the hoods I kind of like them but the rear hood will probably need to come off if you add an optic, I left the front sight hood on as to keep that tiny little post safe from dents and dings. I'm not sure if the Silhouette has the same fragile front sight or not but it's something to keep in mind.
The hoods don't really bother me, but I can see why some wouldn't like them. Try it both ways and see which you like better.

Wishful thinking...happy April fool's day
That one was evil!
I knew it was April Fools, but still
Is she taking Dai with her. I can dream can't I.
Shame this thread is an April Fools, but look on the bright side. At least Elena Iliynkh has finally left Morosov in the personal sense and is now dating Nikita according to her latest instagram postings.
oh really? she's indeed back with Nikita?
ETA: I don't see anything like that on her instagram...that was a really mean April Fool
The instagram thing was a good one.
I am disappointed that none of the pranks got me.
Wow, you're the first actual April Fool's poster to trick me
This made me all happy.....then I read the remaining posts in the thread.
i am absolutely staying off fsu for the rest of the day! i didn't fall for one prank all day long but i am falling for all of these! and then the abt one was true!
Your comment fooled me more than the original thread
Elena is in Egypt now (maybe with Morozov, not sure).
Nikita in Moscow changing his passport. He's only planning to have a short rest somewhere in Europe. They applied for American visas again (maybe they are going to prepare in the USA for the next season)
I hope Nikita reads FSU...
Leave Morozov, please !
This was mean

NYPD Investigating "Knockout" Street Attacks On Jews As Possible Hate Crimes [Video]
(Ben Yakas) Multiple attacks on Jews in Brooklyn have led police to investigate whether they are part of an ongoing series of hate crimes—or whether they're just random attacks by teens playing a game called "knockout." Police Commissioner Ray Kelly told reporters yesterday that there have been at least seven attacks on Jews in Crown Heights recently, including two misdemeanor assaults: "It is difficult to tell [if it is a pattern] at this time," Kelly said, noting that the Hate Crimes Task Force was now investigating. "Obviously, some of it is based on descriptions. The crowds change in size, so it's hard to tell if it is a clear pattern."
The most recent attacked occurred around 9:30 p.m. on Sunday evening on Kingston Avenue near Crown Street. A 19-year-old Jewish man was crossing the street when he was punched in the face by a man in a group of about 10 black males, all in their late teens and early 20s. "He was actually holding an expensive camera. And they punched him and nothing was stolen," Rabbi Yaacov Behrman, the executive director of the Jewish Future Alliance, told CBS. You can see video of that assault below, courtesy of Crown Heights.info. The punch can be seen in the video at the :13, :41 and :48 second marks.

Hi everybody
Here is something I've been up to the last two days.
My Wife and I are expecting our First child the 1st of May(I'm hoping May the 4th). So the time has come to do a little Work on His room. We decided to do a ..... wait for it ... star wars theme, shocker I know. I needed to do something with this old white dresser. i searched the internet for a few days collecting different images that might work.
I found this Dresser and loved the Wood on the Grey.
Industrial Star Wars Room - Design Dazzle
But I wanted it to be a little more Star Wars then it was. I thought about Boba (of course) or Other Mando symbols, Then i thought about how much i loved R2-D2 as a kid(and still for that matter)
I ran across this from TheGeekerie on Etsy( they have lots of cool prints)
I wanted to try and marry the two ideas. . I sanded then stained the drawers with a light stain. Then i watered down wood glue and painted the R2 image (this is where a projector would have been super handy. You could easily do any image you want with one) I stained it with a very dark stain after the wood glue mix was dry. Then painted the rest of the dresser primer Grey.
It didn't come out exactly as planed, but its kinda cool I think. This was my first time doing something with the wood glue and stain combo. Although it doesn't scream R2( which in a way was kinda the goal), in the context of a Star Wars themed room it certainly puts you to mind of Star Wars(windows . tie fighter cockpit. r2 . death star . are things that pop into my head when i see it )
Most importantly my wife loved it, so i guess it was a success

Before every Arsenal fixture, we'll bring you a Scouting Report on the Gunners' next opponents.
Former Arsenal midfielder Stewart Robson will give his pre-match view and you can get his post-match verdict in our Talking Tactics feature on Arsenal Player.
Arsène Wenger and his side travel to Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday so, to find out more, we also asked journalist Dan Levene for his thoughts and analysis.
"Key to Chelsea's ability to open teams up is the passing of Juan Mata. Like David Silva at Manchester City, he roams across midfield to find space before picking out the forward runs of others with superb awareness.
"Despite losing their discipline at Queen's Park Rangers last weekend, they still dominated the second half at Loftus Road with only nine men because they still possess highly-technical players."
"Generally they play a 4-3-3 with Mata and Sturridge accompanying either Drogba or Torres up front. Lampard and Ramires have been regulars so far this season, and there's a chance Raul Meireles might get into the side too.
"Mata has taken to the Premier League like a duck to water really. He's already a fans' favourite at Stamford Bridge, with some even going as far to compare him with Gianfranco Zola - which is too strong for now obviously. He's got the creative flair that all fans want to see and I think it's fair to say he's been a bit of a revelation so far.
"Normally I'd say that losing Drogba would be big against Arsenal, given his record of goals against them in recent years. That said, this season he has looked a shadow of his former self and hasn't particularly impressed at all.
"In Torres they don't have a bad replacement at all. He is a player who looks like he is finally getting back to his form of old and has scored quite a few goals recently.
"If I had to pick out one weakness for Chelsea it is that the full-backs do like to get forward a lot, and naturally that leaves quite a lot of space for wingers. But Chelsea do have very good centre-backs in John Terry and whoever plays alongside him - whether that be David Luiz, Ivanovic or Alex - and they usually do a solid enough job sweeping up any danger.
"If you had to push me for a prediction I'd say 2-1 Chelsea."

When it comes to building a house, one would assume that there are very few secrets that constructors can reveal and few Aces they can pull out of their sleeves. The basic idea seems to be the same, and as long as the structure is both durable and visually appealing, it can be deemed as a success. While this is generally true, nowadays people are more concerned about sensitive issues such as energy efficiency and prefer structures that are also environmentally friendly.
Insulated concrete forms using Durisol hit both birds with the same stone, because the product is made from recycled wood which is 100% clean and natural. This means that the impact on the environment is minimum, and its properties are suitable for those who want to decrease the cost of utility bills. The idea of using insulated forms is to prevent heat leakage, and the aforesaid material achieves excellent results when used in conjunction with concrete.
Although it might appear to be a radical solution specific to modern days, the product was invented more than a half a century ago. It has been used by constructors for many years in a row, and the very fact that it is not extinct after so many decades proves that it is still a viable alternative. By using the latest tools and making technically superior choices, modern constructors can use the concrete forms and Durisol in the process of erecting houses that are both energy efficient and durable enough to stand four years.

asok is sending me his jango cc helm
i will be purchasing -800 grit sand paper (fml and will be doing it by hand)
- primer automotive or generic ?
- rustoleum royal blue ( upper cheeks, ears, and rf)
- krylon ocean blue (mandables, back strip, and around the ears)
am i doing this right so far?
since this will be display only, but i still want people to be able to pick it up and see inside and put it on so....
next set of questions, i have been trying to find pic of the interior, can't find it, should i go with stormrider;s kit or is there one for jango i have not seen?, i thought i saw a link in the cargo hold for a helmet skirt but i can't find it now is that the only thing for the jango helm? and for the key slots can anyone tell me if jango also had the mq-1 board visable through the key slots like boba?i can't tell. and final question i think, i hope, the rf is there a specific set up ie lights, who is a maker of this jango set up? or is it the same guys that make the boba rf boards?

The sole purpose of this guide is to go through in fair detail what it takes to get as much power out of a KO3/KO3S as possible in a reliable way. Ive had experience with a 2001 GTI 1.8T of my own, and now with my girlfriends 2004.5 Jetta GLI 1.8T. Weve recently dynod her car on a DynoJet and made 258whp and 322wtq, which to date, seems to be the highest dyno numbers anyone has ever achieved on the stock turbo. Therefore, I feel that going through the performance mod list would be very beneficial to anyone looking to crank some numbers instead of going straight to a bigger turbo.
When I first started modding my GTI, I learned just about everything from Dizzy, aka QuickKO3Crap. I owe a lot to him as he set me in the right direction on what types of mods to do and what works/doesnt work. Then, as I went on and performed these mods myself, I gained my own experience and knowledge of how everything works together and what makes my girlfriends Jetta a powerful yet reliable car to drive everyday.
So lets begin shall we? Ill be dividing up this write-up mod by mod, assuming whoever reads this will be starting from any point in performance modifications, whether you are completely stock or you have a good number of mods already done.
This is by far the most important modification one can/should do to a 1.8T, right out of the get-go. You will find that some people have just done a diode mod, manual boost controller (MBC), and a higher bar fuel pressure regulator (FPR) to achieve chip-like boost levels. Personally, Ive never gone this route and think that to get where Ive gotten, a chipped program is an absolute must. If you want to get the most out of your stock turbo, you need some good programming. Custom is great, but you shouldnt do it unless you have every other mod done, as your tuner will be able to make use of all your other parts and get more power. Therefore, you have to choose between the now 5 available: APR, GIAC, REVO, Unitronic, & Tapp(Eurodyne). Ive never been a fan of APRs programming. It makes decent power, but it just isnt aggressive enough. REVO seems to be quicker than APR, and they have the Stage II that uses an SPS Controller so you can adjust boost and timing yourself. When I had my GTI, I ran an old GIAC file. The only person who was quicker than me was a friend with another GTI that still to this day runs GIAC X+, which is their latest file. Now, my g/fs GLI is also running X+. Ive yet to see an X+d car lose to REVO or APR with similar mods. So my suggestion to you is to find the nearest GIAC dealer. Youll get the most aggressive file for your car. If super aggressive isn't something you're after, I've been in quite a few Unitronic cars, ranging from their Stage 1 up to Stage 2, and all pull extremely well. I have zero experience with Tapp(Eurodyne), and thus can not comment on it. Keep in mind also when choosing a software provider that you use either a local shop or one you trust to help you with possible problems that may arise. Also, if planning on going with a bigger turbo setup in the future, realize that both Unitronic and Tapp(Eurodyne) offer credit toward a Big Turbo file if you currently have a stock turbo file. Therefore, you aren't paying full price twice.
As for the extra options provided, thats soley up to you. If you have access to a lap top that HAS A 9 PIN SERIAL PORT, dont bother with the Race file, as you can make timing adjustments using a free program called Lemmiwinks. Unitronic also has a similar program called UniSettings, available for download on their website. This program does all the same functions and controls as Lemmiwinks, however it is to be used with a USB cable, not a serial. This is beneficial to those of you with newer laptops that don't come equipped with a serial port. If youre not one to mess with things, then get the Race file. This allows you to get the most out of putting in 100 octane gas. The valet mode will cut power to keep others from beating on your car. If you ever plan on using an MBC, you can do that yourself. Get what you think is worth it to you.
A quality turboback exhaust system is another great mod to do right away. The stock system is extremely restrictive, especially the downpipe. If youre modding one part at a time, do a bigger downpipe FIRST, as youll see the bigger gain from this. There are arguments up and down about which is better: 2.5 or 3. Some think 3 is overkill, and theyre wrong. I had a 3 on my GTI, my friend has a 3 on his GTI, my g/fs GLI has a 3 never a problem. The 3 systems are a little bit louder, but sound has a lot to do with whether or not your exhaust comes with a catalytic converter, resonator, and/or muffler. There are some cheap systems and some expensive. GHL is QUALITY, and they have a lifetime warranty. You can buy a downpipe from someone and fab the rest yourself too. I've also had experience with 42 Draft Designs, and their systems are well put together as well, but are not stainless. Try picking an exhaust tailored to your sound requirements, and what type of weather it'll be subjected to. If you are going to use a non-stainless system in harsh conditions, such as winters with salty roads, invest in some sort of protection like high temp ceramic paint or exhaust wrap.
Two things that youll probably experience after installing your exhaust is a Check Engine Light (CEL) for an O2 sensor, saying catalyst below threshold. That O2 sensor is just seeing more flow than its supposed to. You can let it go and your car will run just like it always has well better since you now have a freer flowing system. A way to remedy this is adding a spacer to back the sensor out of the exhaust stream. Here is a thread that shows exactly what youll need to do. The other solution is to look into software that can delete the code for you. Revo Stage 2 and Unitronic Stage 2 both were written to delete the code for the O2 sensor when using an upgraded exhaust. The other problem some see is if the car is lowered and you get a 3 system, you may hear it rattle over your rear axle. This is just common sense because a bigger diameter pipe in a smaller gap will start hitting stuff. To remedy this, grab 2 zip ties, and get under the car from the rear. Look at the muffler hanger between the muffler and rear axle. Wrap the zip ties vertically around the rubber piece and tighten them up to pull the rear part of the exhaust system up higher. By doing this, youre moving it away from the axle, so it will no longer rattle.
Definitely one of the most questionable mods you could ever do to your stock turbod 1.8T. Ive actually done testing on this, and found that there are very little differences between setups. The most reliable and cheap thing to do is to buy a K&N flat panel filter, smooth out the insides of your stock airbox, and youre done. Ive run open inlet, a cold air, short ram, stock airbox, and nothing feels noticeably different than the other. One thing to remember about cold airs is you cant COMPLETELY SUBMERGE the filter or youll risk hydrolocking your engine. Ive driven through heavy downpours, all of winter, and never had problems. You just need to be smart about not getting curious when you see a puddle. By upgrading to anything but stock airbox, it will get you the PSSSSH sound from your diverter valve (DV). Im running an ESE Colormatched cold air on the GLI and mainly because Jen thinks it looks good. It gives some room in the engine bay also. If youre willing to spend the money, the absolute BEST OF THE BEST intake to buy is the EVOMS V-Flow. Its a short ram design that utilizes a venturi and velocity stack to suck in air faster than a hoover vacuum. I ran tests on chipped boost levels, and Ive seen data on big turbo setups. Its definitely a worthy intake, and itll get you the cool sound too.
If youve ever seen pictures of the stock turbo inlet pipe, it is a squished piece of metal and a restriction on the intake side of your turbo. If youve opened up the exhaust side, do the same to the intake. Youll see quicker spool and hold more boost in the upper rpm range. ABD and Neuspeed both sell just the lower half, which is a metal pipe replacement. The problem is youre still stuck with the accordion-like rubber piece up top. Back in the day when Samco was still around, it was the part to buy. Now, you can either go Forge or APR. They make an entire silicone hose that runs from your Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor down to the turbo. Its definitely the better option. Some have trouble installing it and sliding it past one of the coolant lines along the block. You can either unbolt the line, or, lube up the hose like a porn star and push from the top and pull from the bottom. Itll come right on down.
With the higher boost levels youre seeing, you may consider getting a new bypass valve, which is whats making that PSSSH sound when you let off the gas. A cheap option is to buy the factory Audi TT valve through a dealer for $35 or so. There are TONS of companies that make aftermarket ones in different shapes, colors, and configurations. Some have a metal piston and others have diaphragms. The diaphragms are lighter, and therefore react quicker, but they also tend to rip. Forge has a special polymer reinforced diaphragm that supposedly will hold up. Were running a Forge 007 piston type valve with no issues. Some piston type valves may require you to oil them once in a grand while. As for the Blowoff Valve (BOV) vs. DV issue, its hit or miss. Whats going on is your MAF meters air coming in, and stock, it knows that air your turbo already compressed is gonna come right back into the intake and down into the turbo again. By using a BOV, that air is gone, but the MAF doesnt know that. What you may run into is running rich, because you now have the same amount of fuel for less air. Richness may make the car run unsteady or stall when coming to a stop. My g/fs GLI HATES BOVs, and a great way to test to see if your car doesnt mind is to go to Home Depot and find a 3/4 plastic PVC plug. Pull your DV out of your intake hose, and plug the hole. Turn the car on and start driving around. Youll feel a difference if its bad. At idle the rpms will bounce around randomly. The only difference between a BOV and DV really is the sound, and thats what most people care about. BOVs are usually always louder, but DVs arent necessarily quiet. Stick with what works for YOUR car, and not what someone tells you over the internet because it works on theirs.
Another option on rigging up your DV is relocating it to a cold side position. Stock, its connected to the pipe RIGHT AFTER the turbo. Most front mount intercooler kits also run the DV like this too. Relocating the DV means putting it right before the throttle body, after your intercooler. There isnt going to be a HUGE gain from doing this, but what it does is this: When you let off the throttle, the throttle body slams shut, and all the boosted air in your piping has to get out. At the stock location, all the air has to go backwards to your DV to be let out. If you relocate, you keep the air moving in the same direction, which theoretically, would help with spool up since the turbo isnt working against itself. To make a return line, either go custom and use some sort of pipe or find hose that is big enough to fit over the DV outlet.
When you start running higher boost levels than stock, your plugs are going to need a change. With higher boost means higher temperatures inside the combustion chambers, and therefore youll want a colder plug. The most commonly talked about/used plugs are NGK BKR7Es. You can get them just about ANYWHERE and theyre cheap. Ive paid around $12 for 4 of them. Make sure they are gapped at .028 for optimum performance. Gapping them to high will result in the spark just blowing out as boost enters the combustion chamber, and gapping them to low will keep an actual spark from occurring. The electricity will jump right to the electrode so fast and itll be so small that it wont ignite the air/fuel mixture.
Another mod to do around this same time would be to invest in some coil pack hold downs. Sometimes, the remedy for a coilpack coming up off the valve cover is retorqing your spark plugs. But Ive had times where even with them properly torqued, the coilpacks would still pop up. A user on VWVortex by the name of enginerd custom makes and sells a set of hold down brackets to go over the coilpacks. If you dont have the style coilpacks that have the holes in them to bolt them to the valve cover, get these, as they are more of a reliability mod and youll drive assured they will never come out on ya.
The stock side mount intercooler is a big heat soak and is basically like a condom its only good for one hard use. Most people upgrade to a front mount intercooler (FMIC) because it not only keeps your intake temperatures down, it looks appealing as well. BoostFactory and Tyrolsport make quality upgraded sidemount intercoolers (SMIC), but they are more stealth because you cant see them as easily. The nice thing is they bolt up in the stock location. There are many FMIC kits out there, and youll pay around $700 or so for a quality one. Another option is to just buy a core and custom make your piping yourself. If you do, run 2.25 piping from your turbo to the intercooler, and 2.5 piping from the intercooler to the throttle body. Going custom would be a great time to relocate your DV as well. I chose to look on eBay and buy just a bar/plate core and make custom piping. If you do this, look for SSAutochrome, as they have quality cores for cheap. Do some searching for clamps and couplers yourself as youll find many places and perhaps cheaper places than I found. Finally by going custom, youll need a Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor flange from 42 Draft Designs. Most kits have one welded on, but by going custom, youll need to buy one in either aluminum or steel (depending on your piping material).
The main benefit of running an upgraded IC is the temperature drop at the intake manifold. If you use Lemmiwinks, you can raise your ignition timing to gain more performance. When you get toward the end of the stock turbo mod stick, youll be glad you have one as this is what will keep you running efficiently.
Another mod that has been argued over many a time, lightweight pulleys are used to replace your stock crank, power steering, and alternator pulleys. These stock pieces, especially the crank, are heavy, and thus require more energy to rotate them. By swapping for lighter ones, you free up some of that energy and its of course, easier to spin a 1lb pulley than a 10lb one. The alternator pulley may be too difficult for some to replace as newer 1.8Ts use a specialty bit needed to remove the nut. ECS has them and you can rent it out but pay for it. I havent replaced the alternator pulley in Jens GLI just the crank and power steering ones. Those two are far heavier than their lightweight counterparts, and thus I believe to be the important ones to replace. Unorthodox Racing also makes lightweight pulleys, but Ive never installed them. Go with ECS and forget about it.
There are a few out there, but the most known brand is made by New South Performance, called the Powergasket. Its a replacement gasket for your stock intake manifold to head. What it does is keep engine heat from radiating up into the intake manifold because of the polymer its made out of. The stock gasket is a very thin metal and easily transfers heat. There is a new version called the Powergasket Plus which has a coating on it so there is no need to apply any sealant. Ive seen two melted Powergaskets before, and both were on big turbo, high HP setups, so there is no need to worry about yours going bad. Get the latest version and you shouldnt have any problems. Taking off the intake manifold is no easy task for some, but the gasket comes with directions to help ya along the way. This mod coupled with a FMIC will show some very low intake temps.
Your car comes with an electronic boost controller from the factory, called the N75 valve. Its plugged into the inlet hose and has two vac lines running to it. What happens is as boost is made, it travels through the one line, goes through the N75, and out the other. The other line leads to the wastegate (WG) which is the actual boost controller. When enough pressure pushes on the WG actuator, it opens the gate inside the exhaust side of the turbo and bypasses exhaust gas around the turbine, and thus, keeps the turbo from spooling up any more. There are race N75 valves offered, but Ive never cared to use them. I hear mixed feelings and getting the wrong one can make your car run like poo. Investing in a MBC may be the best option for ya. Id recommend going with a Boostvalve setup, as they are reliable and easy to install. There are a few ways to hook them up, but what I believe to be the best way is to not use the N75 at all, and just run the boost and WG lines to the MBC alone. DO NOT UNPLUG THE N75. This will put you into limp mode, which limits boost to 5psi. Youll have to plug the port for the N75 in the intake hose. Currently Jens GLI is using a DualStage MBC from Boostvalve, which lets us run 2 different boost levels. This is where some reliability comes into play because we can run low boost daily and not put as much stress on the turbo and engine components. With the simple flick of a switch, were back to high boost.
MBCs seem to give quicker spool than the N75. The N75 is more like a bleeder valve because it slowly lets boost by to the WG actuator. MBCs completely block boost until its high enough to overcome spring tension, and therefore, the WG isnt touched until this point. One issue youll run into is whats called part-throttle surging. What happens is you apply the gas half way, and boost spikes up to what youre set at, and then falls back down. You arent requesting that it make that much boost, but it flies up that high anyways, and may feel jerky. By learning how to deal with it, youll forget about it. Most people just give up and go back to a N75 or run the lines using the N75 also. What I do is just hold the gas steady, and the boost falls back down without jerking the car. Being in low boost also keeps it from surging as much because it only initially spikes to 8psi, instead of much higher.

5,000 miles
NH ospreys survive S. American migration
By LARISSA MULKERN
Special to the Union Leader | October 27. 2013 11:34PM
This fall, so far so good for Artoo the osprey, being held here by Dr. Rob Bierregaard this summer after being fitted with a GPS tracking device.
Sadly, one of the four, a juvenile female named Weber, left her nest in Hampton Harbor on Sept. 6 and made an uninterrupted flight to Venezuela, but after her signal stopped on Sept. 29, researchers assume she perished. The fifth tagged osprey, an adult male named Mackenzie, died before leaving New Hampshire on the shore of Head Pond in Berlin, likely the victim of a predator. Researchers recovered his remains in October.
Donovan is the third adult male osprey to have survived the journey. Donovan is the father of two juveniles, Jill and Chip, who were followed, but perished, last year. Donovan departed New Hampshire on Sept. 17, eventually flew to the Virgin Islands but flew back to Puerto Rico where he fished for about a week before venturing south to St. Croix and a 660-mile nonstop trip from the Caribbean to Venezuela. MacLeod said Donovan is a mature bird who has made this migration several times.
Readers can follow the continuing journeys of Artoo, Bergen and Donovan on MacLeod's blog at nhnature/org/programs/project_ospreytrack/ or via MacLeod's Twitter feed, @OspreyNH.

Dear Lucy,
I'm very frustrated. I teach English at a company in Spain. My students are complete beginners, aging between 30 and 55 I would guess - 5 in total.
I do really simple stuff, mainly new vocab connected to easy sentences which help them to use the new vocab (e.g. people description with She's got dark hair, she is tall or food together with I like, I don't like, etc). I play games such as bingo, memory etc so they have to use the new stuff over and over again.
I only teach 2 hours once a week and they forget everything from one week to the other. Vocabulary as well as pronunciation. I pronounce one word a thousand times and they still don't get it right - not even repeating it straight away. I do back-chaining, and then it works, but 2 minutes later it's forgotten.
I don't know what to do. It takes so much time to prepare the classes (flashcards, etc) and I feel there is no reward whatsoever....
Can you help please? THANKS!

Solve your family photo mysteries with these books by Maureen A. Taylor:
A search of the 1900 US census on HeritageQuest for W. Bryan resulted in a William Bryan in Arkansas, who was 10 at the time. You can't always trust ages in the census. Could this be the boy depicted in the photo? Or does the "Arkansas" notation on the back refer to something else?
The "E.R Pitt" notation could refer to the Earle who received the card from Frank.
There are no Pilbeams in Arkansas in the 1900 census, but it's not an uncommon name in Michigan, which is where Luther Abner (in whose trunk this photo was found) lived.
Gen. Nelson Appleton Miles, whose name appears on the back, served in the Civil War and in the Spanish-American War. He spent two decades fighting on the American frontier and he drove Sitting Bull into Canada after the Battle of Little Big Horn. The names Little Big Horn and Red Cloud appear on the card.
Could these be notes for something else? I've seen the backs of cabinet card photos used as scratch paper filled with math problems or handwriting samples, but in this case, some of the information seems more significant.
It's a picture mystery with lots of different threads to follow. There's one other thing to consider: Our ancestors collected interesting images. Perhaps this was an image bought because it's unusual. In an age when most people posed with serious expressions, the image of a baby laughing was an anomaly.
In the meantime, I'll keep digging. These multi-layered mysteries are frustrating but fascinating.
Three of the four images are owned by cousins who descended from James William "Harvey" Dunaway (1829-1880) and his wife Treasy Humphress Bateman (1820-1901). Could this be the link that June's been hoping to find?
June created this graphic to illustrate who owns what.
Contacts In May 2010,
I'd posted about June's detective work trying to identify a cabinet card. That post disproved a caption identifying the couple.
A distant relative saw that blog post and sent June a copy of the exact cabinet card. This couple turned out to be the Newmans. The tintypes above show some other couple. It was an online Family Tree photo reunion.
She had such good luck with the last photo posted here, that she's crossing her fingers that a Dunaway descendant will be able to figure out who is in the tintypes.
I hope so too! I'd love to write another reunion story.
"Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."
Take these two assumptions and test them by fitting that information into the birth date of the grand uncle. He may have known her as an older woman or his parent's knew her.
Showing the grand-uncle a list of all family members born circa 1930 might trigger his memory.
I'll be looking at the unknown images on Thompson's website to see if there are any matches. Another identified picture of her might exist in his family collection. A positive ID could result from comparing her round face and smile to other images.
The final ID will come from testing the facts and comparing pictures.

It's been two weeks since IBM announced its new program for Managed Service Providers (MSPs). We've been working with these types of businesses for years, but with the launch of this program, IBM is acknowledging how MSPs are at the forefront of using cloud computing to reinvent business.
Throughout the industry, the term "MSP" is broad and vague. Its roots trace back to the Application Service Providers of the late nineties. Back then, we had some notion that increased bandwidth could enable small businesses to get out of running their own data centers and simply pay an offsite service to manage their applications. Over time, this notion blossomed into a business model where service providers add value through their expertise in application usage, systems management, and business process.
MSPs, then, do much more than keep the data center running: they provide expertise that businesses of all sizes—not just small businesses—simply cannot maintain on their own.
For example, Doug Mow, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Velocity Technology Solutions, explains that what clients value about Velocity's managed service is their deep expertise on Infor applications. There are several functions that most businesses only perform once or twice a year, such as processing bonuses or adjusting payroll deductions. For on premise environments, teams often have to relearn how to perform these functions every time they do them. But an MSP like Velocity performs these functions regularly on behalf of many clients, thus increasing efficiencies for everyone involved.
MSPs bring expertise and economies of scale to their customers. In turn, IBM brings affordable, robust technology, worldwide marketing reach, and business transformation support to the MSPs. For more information on how we're working with MSPs to reinvent business, visit our MSP Virtual Briefing Center.

quickspins or blazers
I just got done shooting the quickspins for the first time, I 'am very impressed.
I have the 2.25 inch, small right helical on an easton axis 300 shaft, I have been shooting the bohning blazers which I also like, I haven't had a chance to shoot the quickspins with a broadhead yet but the blazers fly very nice with a fixed or mechanical head, has anyone shot the quickspins with broadheads yet, and what do you guys think of both of them, I think that the quickspins may shoot a little tighter group for me. I also shot them both through the chronograph and the speed was the same, I had heard that the quickspins were a little slower but thats not the case with my setup, let me know what you all think. thanks

I am using a biscuit on hunting rig. I can't use the quick spins.
But, I have had good success with the blazers. Much better than feathers. IMOTake a kid with you. Show them the Great Outdoors. Pass it on.

Abdoulah was elected Vice Chairman by the ACA Board on April 11 on the eve of the 18th ACA Summit in Washington, D.C. She was appointed to her first two-year term on the ACA Board in October, 2008 at ACA's quarterly Board meeting in Tucson, Arizona.
In her new position, Abdoulah will act as one of ACA's key advocates for the small, independent cable community before Congress, the Federal Communications Commission and the Obama Administration.
"Colleen's election as Vice Chairwoman is terrific news for our organization and the independent cable community that Colleen serves so well as an ACA Executive Committee member. Jim's decision to remain on the ACA Board ensures that his deep industry experience will inform all of the important decisions awaiting us in the years ahead," ACA Chairman Steve Friedman said.
Abdoulah has been a strong supporter of ACA activities for many years. In 2010, she testified on behalf of ACA before three Congressional Committees -- the House Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, and the Internet; the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Policy and Consumer Rights; and the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee -- to deliver independent cable's concerns with the $30 billion Comcast-NBC Universal merger pending before the FCC and the Department of Justice.
Much of Abdoulah's Comcast-NBCU testimony served to give shape to regulatory conditions eventually applied in January to the most significant media merger in a decade.
Also last year, Abdoulah received the ACA PAC Individual Leadership Award, which recognizes enthusiasm, dedication and support for the ACA PAC and for creating a culture of knowledge within her company regarding the ACA PAC's important role and purpose.
Bruder became ACA Vice Chairman in 2008, providing strategic advice and leadership direction during a period of dramatic change, highlighted by the digital TV transition, federal broadband stimulus programs, the Comcast-NBCU merger and broadcasters' new reliance on eleventh-hour blackout tactics to extract higher retransmission consent fees from ACA members.
"Jim has displayed enormous skill and dedication during his tenure as Vice Chairman, helping to solidify the organization's reputation as a powerful advocate for nearly 900 companies that provide rural America with first-class communications services," Polka said. "I could not be more proud or more excited that Jim will continue to serve on our Board."
In 2007, Bruder was honored with the ACA PAC Advocate Award for his success in raising awareness of the ACA PAC's importance and encouraging individuals to support the ACA PAC through financial contributions.

A long time ago (somewhere around 2004ish) I posted on this site several times under this same username. Since then, there appears to have been a forum migration and old accounts seem to have been lost. Shame, but expected. I was in about 10 then.
The only reason I ask is because at some point, a nice gentleman sent me (totally free of charge) a DVD case containing vibration motor, and a CD of sound effects. I can't remember why, but It happened.
It was around this point in my life that I was going through a strange "phase." I had gotten stuck in my brain that I wanted to be a filmmaker. And I wasn't going to wait till college, I wanted to do it NOW. And that thrown in free CD of sound effects inspired me like a fire. I wanted to be an audio engineer. It started me building my own library of sound effects ("Just like Ben Burtt!") and got me deeper into my newly found fascination with motion pictures.
Years later, I'm an award-winning filmmaker. My interests changed from audio to visual, I'm a grip on film sets and a freelance cinematographer. And as far as I'm concerned, if I could go back in time and tell myself where I'd be by now, my little head would explode.
There's no way for me to log into such an old account, the wayback machine is no help, so I'm simply asking if any of you remember doing this. This simple gesture of kindness helped spark my imagination and change my life. It helped find my life's goal.
I still have all the original sound effects in my library.
If you are this person, please let me know. I'd love to do what I can to repay you. If you come to Chicago, I'd like to shake your hand.
Thank you all

The Youth Risk Behavior Survey is part of a national surveillance system developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to assist with assessing and addressing the health risks of youth. It is conducted in Alaska every other year by the Department of Education & Early Development and the Department of Health and Social Services in cooperation with public high schools.
In spring 2011, the department surveyed 1,327 students from 40 high schools that were scientifically selected to represent all public high schools (excluding boarding schools, alternative schools, correspondence and home study schools, and correctional schools) in Alaska. These results are representative of Alaska's high school students grades 9-12 in traditional public high schools. At the same time and for the second time, 969 students from 16 alternative high schools (defined as serving high-risk students) in Alaska were surveyed to evaluate and address the health risks of this unique population.
The 2011 Alaska Youth Risk Behavior Survey Results are summarized in the presentations available below. The 2011 data presentations are displayed by gender and grade.

Arsène Wenger admits that he considered bringing Matthew Upson back to Arsenal.
The England defender arrived at Highbury in the summer of 1997 but his path to the Arsenal first team was blocked by an outstanding bunch of central defenders.
When Upson was ready to step up and challenge the likes of Tony Adams, Steve Bould or Martin Keown, injury problems restricted his progress. Upson did win a Premier League medal in 2002 but a year later, after six seasons and 56 appearances, he left for Birmingham.
Upson is now flourishing with Sunday's opponents West Ham as well as England and he has occasionally been linked with a return to North London. The move never materialised but Wenger remains a big fan of his former player.
"I knew when he left that he will make a big career," said the manager. "But at that moment when Matthew was here, he was impatient.
"That I could understand as well because I bought him at Luton and after a few years he didn't play here.
"I didn't stop him [going] because I knew he had qualities to play in the Premier League but he had players in front of him that stopped him.
"I knew he would [make it]. He had Premier League quality and had the potential to be international quality . He is there now because he is at the right age for a central defender and for a few years now he has not been stopped by injuries which was his problem for a while."
So how close was Wenger to making a bid for the former Arsenal defender?
"It was always in my mind," admitted the Frenchman.
"He has good quality, good attitude, good spirit but of course this is not the best moment to talk about that. He is a player at West Ham. Three, four, five years ago yes, but now he is settled and has a good career where he is.
"You have two job [choices] as a football player. Your job is to be in the top level of the Premier League. Between the age of 18 to 21 is a very sensitive step for a player. You have to make the step. If you don't make it you become impatient and you lose the players."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Would like to see if others would be interested in a thread that has shows and event listings. I know that I always seem to learn about some cool exhibit, some small prop party, or regional con in my area after it's already happened. I had spoken with one of the mods here about it, but the idea kind of got forgotten about as there was a lot of other things going on at the time. I know these often get listed in the sarlac pit, but it's just to hard to dig through the movie review, joker threads, and other announcements to find them.
Seems to me it could be a simple listing broken out into regional areas. Or maybe the regional areas could just be listed in the thread title. Would just be nice for me to know what's going on around me, who might be attending from the board, whether it's a TDH "official" event, etc.
Not sure anything would happen with this, that's totally up to the mods. I may even be way off base in even thinking this would be of interest to anyone else but me.

Featured Thread: Prom!
Today's Featured Thread is a timely one, as I've seen quite a few posts in the community lately about that time-honored right of passage: Prom.
This thread is about prom bag essentials, and there are some really great suggestions here that I have bolstered with some recommendations of my own: cotton swabs with built-in makeup remover (crucial), rollerballs for your marc fix on the go, stylish blotting papers, an adorable bow compact, bobby pins in their own carrying case, and a top-rated hairspray mini.
So let's help our prom-going BeautyTalkers (and their mothers, no doubt), out: What products do you recommend as prom-going essentials? Show & Tell in the comments!
Shop beauty minis> http://seph.me/1aFtJ3T
I just thought of another one -- a small popup hairbrush is great to have handy. This one looks useful and has a mirror, too:
Safety pins, pain killers, facial tissues are things I like to have around. I'd also have a small container of mints instead of gum.
I would say Urban Decay De-slick Make up setting spray...even if your not dancing being packed in a room full of tons of other people dressed as savvy as you are throws off a lot a ton of heat so heat + compact area + happy hyper nerves of having the time of your life @ your prom project stress & sweat so bottom line use that or something of a similar nature so the make up doesn't wear off as the night wears on.
@WhereYouStand - all great points! I do love the UD setting spray, and they sell a mini version, although I've found that a few good spritzes last me all night!

Well here it is my holy grail of Fett items.. Why is it my holy grail ?? Cause if you live in Canada, you can't have props like this.
EDIT* It's hard to import props like this.
on to the pics!
Here it is w/ real parts, the ASI scope is not !00% accurate, but the scope clamps are the right type..but are the short kind.
Here it is with Sidewinder scope mounts and square greeblie thing.... just to give me an idea.
Here is a close up of the BLACK Molex plugs & original split plugs.
here is a comparison pic of Sidewinder and mine.. noticeable Sz difference..hmmm which is the correct size?
finally a pic of my 99cent slingstrap and sidewinder rings.
I will be posting pics of the completed & weathered blaster in a while.
And on a side note,
Sidewinder's products are AWESOME! Sure, some parts need clean up but hey its kit items, the barrel is clean as clean can get!
you can get all your blaster need from him and not be disappointed, unfortunately my resin parts are going to another member... who won them in my sale along with my Resin Webley kit. That kit is going to look sweet once its done!
until then Enjoy

Most of you are familiar with Jonas Gessner's ProTube application, which brought YouTube to a whole new level of usability and customization on jailbroken iOS devices. Today, Jonas has launched ProTube 2, which uses Google's own YouTube application instead of creating another application icon.
ProTube 2 adds a new cell to the YouTube application for downloads, which when tapped, will launch your download manager interface. From the download manager interface, you will be able to see a history of all of your YouTube downloads. You can delete any of the videos from the history that you wish to by swiping on them and tapping the delete button.
When you find a video you like, either by searching for it or by tapping on links, you will be able to use a new button with an arrow pointing downward to download the video. When you tap on the button, you will be asked what quality of the video you want to download, or if you want to only download the audio from the video instead of the entire video. ProTube 2 lets you choose from 1080p, 720p, 360p, and 240p, as well as saving the file as a .m4a audio file.
Videos downloaded using the download manager in ProTube 2 will appear here in the middle of downloading with statistics such as download percentage, time remaining, and file size. When finished, you will be able to see what the video quality of the video you downloaded is, such as 1080p or 720p. When you tap on the blue arrow next to the video, you will be given the options below:
The options you get from tapping on the blue arrow include:
- Deleting the file
- Opening the file in an application
- E-mailing the file
- Adding the file to your Camera Roll
- Renaming the file
- Importing the file to your media applications
To import files from ProTube 2 into your media applications, you will need to have installed Jonas's Bridge application, which we showed you just a while ago at this link.
Not only does ProTube 2 add video downloading to Google's new YouTube application, but also it gives you the ability to select the streaming quality of the videos. If you have been experiencing a lot of lag-time with Google's new YouTube application, it's probably because the application is pushing the highest quality of the video that it possibly can. ProTube 2 can help you manually override this issue, as shown above.
When you import files to your media applications, such as a YouTube video, you will find them in the corresponding media applications. Audio files will go to the Music application and video files will end up in the Videos application:
ProTube 2 will also block all YouTube ads, allow you to manage your downloads, and support simultaneous downloads. Videos downloaded with ProTube 2 are AirPlay compatible, so you will be able to use this feature for any videos you download if you like taking advantage of external displays.
Google's new YouTube application already blows Apple's old YouTube application out of the water, but the fact that ProTube 2 actually builds on the application to make it better without adding another application icon to the home screen is great. If you want to make your iOS YouTube experience better and more powerful, then ProTube 2 is a worthwhile investment. ProTube 2 is compatible with both iOS 5 and iOS 6.
If you have purchased ProTube or ProTube HD from May 1st until now, you can upgrade to ProTube 2 for a discounted price of just 99¢!
Name: ProTube 2
Price: $1.99
Version: 1.0
Requirements: iOS 5+, YouTube application
Repo: BigBoss
Developer: Jonas Gessner

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I bought some 08 Burton Sapphires for 80 dollars at one of those larger ski shops. They were not "used" boots. At first they killed my feet. I took them back and we took the liners out. The boots had these black aftermarket ankle support things glued on the liners. This was why they hurt so bad.
If the boots have been in a shop for a while they may of been purchased before and may not actually be new. There might be problems with them. Or in my experience they may be tweaked in some weird way that created a lot of pain.
I kept the boots. They are not hurting my feet at all anymore. I don't ever buy the newest and latest. I am not a beginner. No, I don't think I could buy an 11/12 boot for the same price with the same features.
It is important to try the boots. Did your wife try on the newest boots? I know I am a 5 in Sapphires because I rode 2 pairs before these new ones. I tried on the pair I have now. They were not seasons apart. It my be possible the current models are slightly different. I know years ago I had size 4 Burtons. So they do sometimes change the sizing.
|The fact that you can get a better boot with better features than were offered in 2008 for the same price as a 2011 or 2012 boot. You still want fit, yes but if you can have a better more modern boot why in the world wouldn't you!!
|I am going to send her to our board shop and grab some boots

Who cares if the boots are priced relatively high or low...MAKE SURE THEY FIT PROPERLY. That is the risk you take when buying online...are you willing to roll the dice?
But you're absolutely right - they need to fit her.
I ended up with mine because they were the only boots that fit my feet. It was a bonus they were past season and a deal. I was looking at a new Nike model way over what I wanted to spend, but was willing to spend it IF they fit well. They didn't.
Agreed - I personally would be very wary about buying boots online.

What slyder said.
I picked up a pair of 09/10 thirty two Lashed womens in 10/11 for $100 from my local shop; they retailed somewhere around $215.
$100 for an 08 model seems pretty steep to me.
Check around locally (if you can) for any past season boots. You might have to ask, depending on the shop.
|I would think you could get into a new boot for under $150 so I would totally steer away from them I sold some of my kids boots on CL only 1 yr old for $50 and they were $150 new, so I don't see those as being a good deal in the least
The technology in the boot isn't the issue, it's the fit. You have no idea if that boot is going to fit her properly.
Shell out the extra money for a boot that she can physically try on, to make sure it fits her comfortably and allows her to have fun without experiencing foot pain.
I'll let others with more knowledge chime in, but my experience...
I bought an older used pair of Burton Rulers since I was just trying to get out there and even with all the deals I got I'd already dropped a ton on everything else. I don't even know what year my boots actually are, but they're OLD, even though they're in decent condition and are still rideable albeit the wrong fit for me. What I've learned is that the technology has moved so fast that stuff even only a few years old is pretty dated by now. My boots don't even have speed lace (for better or worse), and boots have since evolved to using a much smaller actual external footprint while still being the same size inside and having all the same support and insulation, etc features. Listening to the guys on here has shocked me how long (read: short) they ride a pair before they consider it shot and done.
If the boots are new, it might be an okay choice. If not, it depends on how used they are. After that, it depends on long you think she'll stick with boarding and how hard and now quick she'll go in them. That'll determine whether or not she'll just outgrow them soon or be fine for a while.
I'm already regretting not shelling out, but I tend to get pretty deep in my hobbies pretty fast and skip through the beginner purchases right into the higher end stuff so I don't waste any time and money. So, take that for what you will!
Would you buy 2008 model boots?
My wife tried on a number of Burton boots and she's a 6.5 in all of them.
She is trying to find some deals and came across some 2008 Burton Sapphire boots for $100.
Would you guys pick up something like this off the net, or just pay a little extra and get 2011-2013 boots instead?
She's a beginner and probably wouldn't notice the slight differences between the technology in a 2008 boot vs a 2012 boot.
