This fat-ass Sumo wants to BRAG:
AppSumo got 500,000 customers in 18 months.
I also eat 500,000 calories in 18 minutes... but that's not as interesting to you.
What you SHOULD be interested in is HOW we got 500,000 people to signup for AppSumo.com, and HOW we get those people to buy stuff repeatedly.
Normally this is confidential info we keep inside the walls of AppSumo HQ... but in this video series we "open the kimono" on AppSumo.com and explain how we grew the HELL out of our customer base so quickly.
These videos show two smart-ass Sumos openly talking about how AppSumo.com grew so quickly. They spill all the secrets:
In these videos, you get to learn from AppSumo founder Noah Kagan (#30 at Facebook, #3 at Mint, Founder of Gambit, and a former international sex-symbol).
You also get to learn from AppSumo advisor Andrew Chen. He's an advisor and angel investor in a hell-uv-a-lot of companies, and an all-around smart guy (you know... cause he's Asian).
This "How AppSumo Grew" video series is divided up into 3 sections.
Here's what you will learn:
By now I can already tell you're drooling on your shoulder, waiting to watch these videos (which are all in high-def so you can see every mustache-hair clearly).
Well here's all you have to do to watch these AppSumo Growth videos:
This Sumo suggests you grab a drink, heat up 17 microwave dinners, cozy up to your computer, and take notes for maximum learning.
While this deal is so damn cheap TODAY, it won't be long before the price jacks up. So start learning how we fat Sumos grew AppSumo.com from 0 to 500,000 customers NOW!
The Chief "Spilling-all-our-secrets-is-probably-a-bad-idea" Sumo
P.S. This has actually been a hugely anticipated video... SO many Young Sumo-lings wanna know how Chief Sumo grew AppSumo so quickly... and this is finally your chance to see for yourself the whole process (so you can copy our successes and learn from our failures). Grab it while you can!
I'd encourage the negative reviewers to re-watch. There are some important BIG IDEAS shared here:
- In the beginning, your goal is just to get on the playing field, so do any and every semi-smart idea you can think of to get to that point. Screw A/B testing and dumb distractions. Race hard to get onto the field any way possible. For AppSumo that was 1,000 subscribers. Figure out the number for your business. Also, start making money right away. Noah shares some experiences of things he did that worked and some that were a waste of time. He also shares a cool tip how to break through getting published if you keep getting blown off.
- Once you are on the field, now start focusing your effort on marketing activities that can scale. You can't beg and set up every new subscriber anymore, so start paying attention to what gets you the best return for your effort, and stop doing the losing activities. Your goal is to find the top 2-3 activities that can scale for your business - continuously bring in the level of customer growth you are after most effectively. Find the key drivers for your growth. Andrew and Noah talk about what they were for AppSumo and Andrew gives some tips on what common drivers are for a few different business models.
- Once you have passed puberty you are ready and have an adequate customer base to do legitimate analytics and metrics-based marketing. You are now able to figure out formulas to predict your growth rate based on the activities you are doing. Until you have this level of history and volume of customers, you are wasting your time to do heavy analytics.
At each stage, including now, they analyze and ask what ONE thing can we do that has the potential to 10X our business.
These are very helpful insights for any business owner. Consider it the cheapest hour of grad school you will ever find.

Very Unstructured. I knew most of the information presented already and was expecting to get actual details through the videos...but I didn't.

Although this information was very helpful and it was a great look inside a business and how it grew, it didn't come with any concrete tools and/or tutorials on how to scale these ideas to other businesses. I did get some helpful info, but was not really worth the money that I paid.

I found the video interesting, but was left somewhat unsatisfied by the end - I actually watched it 2 or 3 times just to double check if I had missed something. As someone looking to go from 50,000 to 500,000 the description of the deal led me to believe it would contain UNIQUE ideas or action items for achieving that growth - especially in such a short timeframe. Instead, the video contained a fairly common sense "Build a great product, find the most effective advertising method for your product, dump as much money as possible into that advertising medium."
On the one hand this is great advice, but on the other hand it is the type of content I'd expect to find in a Free Deal or a blog post.
I haven't asked for a refund on the deal, but it is the first time I'm considering it.

Guys from MailChimp.com share these stories for free and provide WAAAY better stats, numbers and insights. This is interesting, but has no value at all. I wanted to pay $1000 for one hour consultation with NoaH and now I feel good that I didn't buy it and waisted only $79 to realize that we don't need it :)

I think this was a good deal but I feel it could have been better if it made points on what to do if those lunches with companies don't result in free or discounted advertising. And what to do about contacting those people in your industry via email and getting responses back that they don't want your spam. If those type of issues were more clearly addressed, I feel it would have been even more informative than it was. But overall, it was good information that I will do my best to implement.

I'm a pretty positive person, but this video made me feel like I over payed. For one thing, the video could have explained a lot more of the terms like Metrics, AB testing... I'm new to the internet marketing game, so I was getting lost in the jargon. Meanwhile, I really bought the video for the fact that it said in the description that there would be something about how you paid someone from another country to design your website... Sadly there was nothing in the videos that talked about that. On the plus side I did learn a few things, but not $79.00 worth of something. I got more out of the article Tim Ferriss did with Noah on his blog then I did on these video. Sorry guys, but this just wasn't what I thought it was going to be.

Reviews for Grapefruit Meringue Pie
"I meant to write ... so I halved the quantities OF SUGAR ....."
"Here in England we don't have grapefruit growing out of doors - so mine came from the supermarket.The recipe as given is too sweet for English tastes (unless you have particularly sour fruit) so I halved the quantities and it was just right.Make sure you pour the filling into the pastry case as soon as the butter has melted or the mixture will start to set in the pan!"
"This was unusual but very good (if you like grapefruit). It's just like a lemon meringue pie but with grapefruit. Try it!"
" We live in the heart of the Rio Grande Valley in the wintertime and have tons of citrus trees all over our properties. So much that we, and the neighbors, can't GIVE IT ALL AWAY ! Here is our version of Grapefruit pie:
GRAPEFRUIT pie
3 grapefruit, sectioned and cut in thirds
1/3 c sugar----mix together and set aside til sugar is dissolved
3 T cornstarch
½ c sugar

1 c water
Cook juice/water (enough to make 1 cup liquid total) and cornstarch, sugar and Jello til clear. Let cool and then add grapefruit sections.
Put in baked pie shell, chill and top with whipped cream.
Note: 3 T = ½ box Jello Use regular, not sugarfree

Moreover, if S&S and/or V&T slip up, its not beyond the realms of possibility that they could finish higher than that.

MSNBC's Up With Chris Hayes To Be First Sunday Show To Host Experts Blaming GOP For Gridlock
Blog ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
Thomas E. Mann and Norman J. Ornstein, two well-respected, centrist congressional experts, will make their first Sunday talk show appearance on the June 3 edition of MSNBC's Up with Chris Hayes after being largely ignored by the media following their recent conclusion that Republicans are responsible for the current "dysfunctional" Congress.
On today's edition of his show, Hayes announced that Mann and Ornstein would make their "long-awaited, controversial first appearance on a national Sunday news program" to discuss their Washington Post op-ed and new book detailing the causes of political gridlock in Washington.
As The Washington Post's Greg Sargent and others have noted, Mann and Ornstein have been shut out of the Sunday morning talk shows since their April 29 op-ed. Moreover, as Media Matters' has reported, the top five national newspapers failed to mention Mann and Ornstein's recent observations about the dysfunction in Congress even though they regularly quoted the pair in past news articles.
Media Matters also found that in the months following the publication of Mann and Ornstein's 2006 book, The Broken Branch: How Congress Is Failing America and How to Get It Back on Track (which was critical of both Democrats and Republicans), the two frequently appeared and were quoted on cable news shows, suggesting that the media is now giving Republicans a pass to avoid appearing biased.

'"There's no science to it," coach Lindy Ruff said. "Most goals — over 70 percent of the goals on power plays — are led from somebody shooting from the point, or one of those guys in a high umbrella [standing on the edge of the faceoff circles] getting a shot through and the goaltender's scrambling on a rebound. Not often do you score a goal where you get five passes and all of a sudden it's in the net. That's a rarity."'

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|i agree, with strong ball drive you can train around anything. as far as being leash reactive, maybe you should take him for more one on one walks with a doggie friend and work on that. i am not a big fan of doggie day care because i think some dogs can become bully's in that atmosphere, especially GSD's. i would continue with the group your looking at and practice setting him up on leash slowly with passing dogs on walks etc. and use his ball to get his attemtion before he gets all excited. eventually the goal is for him to look at you when a dog passes, or understand that a passing dog is a good thing because he gets his ball. if the ball isn't enough to get his attemtion, use a special treat he only gets when training, like chicken or something he really likes. with consistancy you should be able to work on it. as far as the doggie day care, i guess thats your call. if it were me, i would take him out of doggie day care while working with the other issues. JMO..........
|Thanks much! We're definitely working on it!
|Mary Beth
|I don't think your dog is becoming a bully, but he is a teenager, acting up and testing the boundaries. Since he has a strong ball drive, I would suggest you work with that - use the ball game a reward and to help focus.
Looking for some GSD mentoring...
My husband and I picked up our fabulous boy, now 9 months old, neutered, german lines, when he was 8 weeks old and we were stationed in Colorado. Both in the military, we've since been moved to DC and we live in a great, yardless town home in a very dog-friendly town (Alexandria VA). Based on some recent behavior, we are looking for some advice!
Know that we're actively looking for some behaviorist help in the area, but this forum has a lot of experts and anything you can tell me about the normalcy (or not) of Jake's behavior and any tips for our own habits would be greatly appreciated!
He went to a three-week intensive course here with a GSD "expert" and it seemed to go ok. But after the initial 3 weeks on the prong collar, we believe it's turned his leash-reactive. (Obedience seems to be great.) He goes nuts when he sees other dogs...AND he's on the leash. But he spends every day at doggie-day-care with lots of dogs. We know he's not aggressive. We must walk him out and about as we have no yard. So you'd think we'd be 'socializing'...strangely, it doesn't seem to be so. We recognize this, though, and have taken him off the prong...he got way better with a gentle leader.
This week, however, something new cropped up. Our weekend norm is to take him to the dog park (and has been since he was 5 months old and up on his shots). He's finally learned how to fetch and frankly, is addicted to it...loves it...doesn't want to do anything else! And heaven help the poor pup who shows the least bit of interest in his ball. Although it's kind of any ball. It's never an individual one. There are 20-30 or so just laying around.
He seems to be growing into his confidence. Even with us he's getting a little pushy: wants to be up on the furniture, get closer to where we're eating, forceful nose where it's not welcome, too strong mouth when we're treating him for good stuff.
I'm convinced there's a common thread with us, but I'm just not sure. I've contacted a GSD club here in northern VA that does training as well, plus our doggy-day-care folks have said they'd help us (we're in with them tomorrow), plus I just ordered some Dr. Sophia Yin books. We will do what it takes, but i'm convinced that if we don't do something specific we're ending up with (or creating??) a bully...
Thanks so much for any comments here!

National Survey of Eyewitness Identification Procedure in Law Enforcement Agencies, 1994-2012 (ICPSR 34274)
Principal Investigator(s): Murphy, Gerard, Police Executive Research Forum; Griswold, Molly, Police Executive Research Forum; Kubu, Bruce, Police Executive Research Forum; Woods, Daniel, Police Executive Research Forum; Berryessa, Colleen, Police Executive Research Forum; Greene, Kevin, Police Executive Research Forum; Berman, Jacob, Police Executive Research Forum
The data results from a study conducted by the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) designed to obtain the first nationwide assessment of the state of the criminal justice field regarding eyewitness identification procedures used by law enforcement agencies. PERF designed and conducted a survey of 619 police departments across the United States. The study focused on the departments training and policy when conducting eyewitness identification; particularly the study examined the use of "blind" administrators and the use of simultaneous or sequential presentation to the witness. The number of lineup members, witness instructions, police training, number of witness viewings and recording of the witness statements were also examined. A pilot test of the survey was conducted prior to the study.

Subject Terms: case processing, evaluation, evidence, eyewitness memory, police departments, policy analysis, suspect identification, testimony, training, witnesses
Smallest Geographic Unit: region
Geographic Coverage: United States
- 1994--2012

Unit of Observation: law enforcement agency
Universe: All functioning United States police agencies listed within the National Directory of Law Enforcement Agencies (NDLEA) database in 2011, that perform full service police duties (N=15,685).
The study associated with the data (Murphy, Donaldson, Kubu, Woods, Berryessa, Greene, and Berman, 2012; NIJ 2010-IJ-CX-0032) discusses qualitative data collected from 30 interviews via telephone as a supplement to the survey. This data will not be released by ICPSR at this time.
Study Purpose: The purpose of the study was to create the first nationwide assessment of the criminal justice system regarding eyewitness identification procedures used by law enforcement agencies including through conducting a national survey of a random stratified sample of law enforcement agencies in the United States regarding their eyewitness identification policies, training, and police procedures.
The Eyewitness Identification Survey was developed in consultation with a Technical Advisory Group (TAG) comprised of academic researchers and law enforcement experts. The survey was fielded in order to evaluate the current eyewitness identification policies and practices in law enforcement agencies throughout the United States. A focus group of the eight TAG members examined the major issues to be included in the survey and to identify questions that would effectively evaluate current practices in the field. The draft of the Eyewitness Identification Survey was sent to representatives from nine law enforcement agencies in June and July of 2011. Agencies were chosen based on their past experiences with and expertise regarding eyewitness identification procedures and policy development. These pilot testers were asked to complete the survey and make margin notes concerning questions about the form and content. Each person was then contacted via telephone to discuss the survey. The final version of the survey was made available to respondents online as well as in hard copy.
The National Eyewitness Identification Survey was distributed to a random stratified sample of law enforcement agencies throughout the United States (n=1,377). Hard copies of the survey were mailed to agencies on three separate occasions between August 17 and October 25, 2011. Reminder letters were sent to non-responding agencies in five separate waves between October 18, 2011 and January 11, 2012. Reminder telephone calls were placed to a number of non-respondent agencies between January 17 and January 24, 2012. A total of 619 completed surveys were returned.
When the surveys were returned they were recorded and reviewed for completion. Surveys with information that was considered unclear, inconsistent, or missing were flagged. PERF staff members contacted respondents for all flagged surveys for clarification or missing response. Staff members attempted to contact respondents of missing data through mid January 2012.
The study contracted with Tailored Statistical Solutions, LCC (TS�) to draw a nationally representative sample of law enforcement agencies from the National Directory of Law Enforcement Agencies (NDLEA) database. In addition to the name and address of the current chief executive, NDLEA information included the population served by the law enforcement agency, the type of law enforcement agency, the number of officers in the agency, and the region (Northeast, Midwest, South, and West) in which the agency is located. The data base was cleaned to omit agencies that are defunct or do not perform full service police duties. After cleaning the database contained information on 15,685 law enforcement agencies.
The law enforcement agencies in the database were stratified by region, type, and size based on the number of sworn officers reducing the sample to 1,401 agencies. Of those, 24 agencies reported not using any eyewitness identification procedure and were not sent the survey. Of the 1,377 agencies sent the survey, 619 were completed.
Weight: Each of the agencies selected for the sample was weighted (using variable FINALWTALL "WEIGHT") in order to account for population size.
Mode of Data Collection: record abstracts, mail questionnaire, web-based survey
National Directory of Law Enforcement Agencies (NDLEA)
The 515 variables contained in the study include:
1) Agency information.
2) Current policies including: instructions given to eyewitness pre-lineup, lineup procedure, lineup content, lineup presentation method, and behavioral influence of the lineup administrator.
Lineup procedures include: show up, photographic lineup, live lineup, composite, and mugshot search.
3) Historical agency experiences.
Response Rates: Of the 1,377 agencies sent the survey, 619 completed the survey resulting in a response rate of 45 percent.
Presence of Common Scales: none
Extent of Processing: ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data.

Here's something fun to kick off your weekend. It's a travel-themed picture puzzle. You just have to tie the photos together to make words. For example, a photo of an eye, combined with a photo of a full glass of water would be eye + full = Eiffel. Get it? (For another example, check out last week's puzzle.)
This week's puzzle is three words and represents a destination.
Editor's Note: This contest has ended. The winner is Becky, who correctly guessed that the pictogram spelled "Prince Edward Island." Becky has won an IndependentTraveler.com travel mug. Congratulations! Stay tuned for further opportunities to win.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|One question re the Romaine ... from the pics I cannot figure out where the head is located. I'm guessing in one of the quarter cabins .... stoop to conquer ...
I agree with tdw.
The Jouet could be ok but its IOR design is not the best for your purposes.
Trisfer - forget it.
CT41 - pretty boat with a wood deck and cabin that would get a no from me.
The Romaine looks interesting. Not an extreme design in any way I can see and looks good in the pictures. New engine (Beta) as well. This one would be my choice of any boat in this thread.
So many folk who end up with steel/cement or old neglected wood do so because they want more boat than they can afford. In every harbour you'll then find them going even further to wrack and ruin cos if you can barely afford to buy that fixer upper then you can probably not afford to maintain her.
In another thread recently we had a fellow who has never sailed before wanting to buy a 100' timber schooner cos he found 50' too claustrophobic. There is not arguing with people like this, all you can do is watch the impending train wreck.
What's more the number of times these oversized hulks are owned by single males, well and truely down on their uppers is perhaps no coincidence.
LaFayette, I am not trying to be overly negative but having been through the timber boat fixer upper stage myself and barely come out the other side please be careful. If you don't have experience of doing what needs to be done yourself or at least you are a very fast learner a cheap boat can get very expensive, very quickly.
Sub 40' glass is a much better place to start than plus 40' anything.
Looking at the Jouet its hard to tell how much work is complete and how much still to be done but the size is good. I'm not a hull expert so could be wrong here, but she looks to me very much IOR era, pinched stern, small main, big headsail, could be a handful short handed.
Trisfer 40 --- run , don't walk, don't look back, keep on running. If the broker says EUR25.000, then double it.
CT41 ... don't know, can't tell from the pics but check the tanks and look for leaks. Sailing ability ? I dont' know but I'd have thought slow.
Romaine ... how old is she ? For mine she is the pick of those four boats but that is purely an impression gained from looking at the pics.
Good Luck.
Thanks for the comments, since 1 year I'm looking for a boat to buy with a reasonable price; my first choice was a Jouet 37, very close where I'm going to be in one month.
ISULELLA EST A VENDRE - Le blog de ISULELLA
A you see there is a lot of worked done, and I know this boat is pretty strong construction.
Second choice was a trisfer 40 http://www.oceandream.fr/fiche_detai...11&cat=1&tri=0 , a trimus model, which need to refit totally. Accordingly to the broker it will cost me about 25,000 euros, to be ready to sail. I need to change to steel panels on the trisfer.
Third was a ta chiao CT 41, lovely boat, petites annonces - Nautisme - Vends Voilier 12,50 mètres
Wooden Mats, and the owner have change the mats for an Alum one, eventually the price will be higher.
fourth option was a Romaine, http://voilieralu.e-monsite.com/ , in Aluminum sailing boat.
David l
A respected wood boatbuilder like Jespersen in Sidney B.C. (Bent or now his son Eric) would shudder at your suggestion a cold moulded/epoxy boat be included with plastic boats.
The story of the penny and the aluminum boat is a myth that has been told for decades. And the hot marina - In that week how many aluminum saildrives and outboards were destroyed? They have the same issue.
If wired properly and dissimilar metals kept to a minimum (shaft and prop being the only ones necessary) and zinc protected like any boat has to be aluminum has no great issues.
Regulars here would know that our old boat is steel, that we have just moved up in size and this time we've gone glass.
The first thing that strikes me about your proposed purchase is the age. I frankly do not think I would ever consider a 30 year old steeler. Seems to me you are asking for a world of pain. I admit she looks like she has been well looked after, at least from the pics.
Ultimately it does come down to an issue of maintenance. Steel is, without doubt labour intensive. No getting around it.
From a performance perspective at around 42' the weight disadvantage is going to dissipate but even so you will lose a knot or so compared to a similar boat in GRP and while yes Osmosis can be a problem in glass boats it is not an ongoing maintenance issue, as such.
We bought our old girl despite the fact she was steel and we loved her dearly. A desire for a bit more space down below was about the only reason we moved on. The VDS34 happened to be a design I have always admired so I was happy to go metal but I seriously doubt I would ever go steel again.
Final point, steel can often be a very economical alternative to glass providing you are in for the long term as you will of course get less when you eventually do sell.

the fibre glass there is the problem of osmose, then there is the problem to treat the problem.
The repair is a bit more difficult
as for the steel, heavier and more solid construction
Ok i can said, i will lose 1 or 2 knots on sailing.

My first choice if I was able to afford a custom boat is aluminum. In this area - B.C. - many fishboats, whale watching boats and pleasure boats are welded aluminum and they have few problems and a very long service life. The French produce many aluminum sailboats - Garcia, Alubat, and others - and they are cruising world wide without problems.
Steel though is heavy unless the boat is large and rust protection is a huge issue, especially on an older boat.
I would be nervous about aluminium though, despite their record as workboats here, due to galvanics. I read a lengthy writeup by the buyer of one of Tom Watsons (IBM) "Palawans". It was built in alloy by a big time Dutch or German yard (A&R??) can't remeber for sure. When he cleaned it out to start the restoration he found major area of the bilge that were nearly perforated like Swiss cheese. After some research and checking he realized that it had been caused by the small bits of copper wire clipped off by the electricians when they wired the boat. One hole, nearly through was caused by an errant penny that ended up in the bilge. I have also heard tales of an alloy boat that was perforated and sank at the dock after only a week in a hot marina.

Other than that, the boat appears to be a good value. Of course, other posters with more knowledge of things that go beyond cosmetics have already cautioned about rust! So, get a good survey/inspection and don't let the beauty of the interior cloud your judgement!
Best of luck!

Rosie O'Donnell Claims Her Marriage Was an Act of Defiance
posted at 12:32 pm on August 8, 2010 by Howard Portnoy
Gay marriage, we are told by members of the gay community and their liberal supporters, is all about love—about a chance to experience matrimonial bliss. OK, if you're heterosexual and married, you can stop laughing now.
It is undoubtedly true that some same-sex couples view the act of matrimony as an expression of a deeper and more lasting commitment than can be derived through mere cohabitation.
But is is true for all? Could it be the case that some gays in this country are exploiting the gay marriage debate—using it as just another vehicle for flouting their alternative lifestyle and sticking it to the establishment?
It is not only possible. It is a certainty for one gay American: Rosie O'Donnell.
Yesterday, on her satellite radio program, O'Donnell freely admitted that her 2004 marriage to then-girlfriend Kelli Carpenter was nothing more than a political statement. The intended recipient of the message was no less than the leader of the establishment, George Bush. As O'Donnell told her radio audience (audio follows):
George Bush, in the middle of a war, had an all-station news conference to announce how horrible it was for the safety of America that gay people were getting married in San Francisco, which pissed me off enough to get on a plane and go get married.
It was like an act of … defiance … If you're gonna count up everybody who you think is not of value and round 'em all up and slap a pink triangle on 'em.
I just felt like I wanted to be counted amongst the people who [some] were saying were unworthy and not allowed to have the same rights as everyone else.
O'Donnell, far from the sharpest knife in the drawer, may have let the cat slip out of the bag, but you have to admire her candor. Her admission does raise the trenchant question of how many other gay couples are in the fight just to flout the system?

|サビル Sabiru
|Naruto Shippūden Episode #193
|Appears in
|Voice Actors
Sabiru (サビル, Sabiru) was a high-ranking shinobi in Konohagakure's tactical division. He was later discovered to be a traitor and a spy.
Sabiru was part of Konohagakure's tactical and defence division during the Third Hokage's administration. He had seemingly come up with a plan that would fortify Konohagakure's defences to the point that the Third stated that it would assure the peace in Konohagakure forever. He was, however, discovered to be a traitor of the village by Kisuke Maboroshi, an Anbu. When Kisuke confronted Sabiru, he removed Kisuke's soul from his body, leaving him in a comatose state.
Despite appearing as an upcoming shinobi invested in his village's security and welfare, Sabiru was a in fact a cruel man, who had no qualms about killing an innocent woman or a defenceless comatose opponent.
Sabiru had spiky light blue hair and blue eyes. He wore the standard outfit of the Konohagakure shinobi complete with a flak jacket and a forehead protector on a long band that tapered off. He also wore his sleeves rolled up.
Sabiru was hailed as a very intelligent shinobi for his age, capable of planning an efficient security system for Konoha all by himself, earning him praise from the Third Hokage. This, however, was later revealed to be part of his plan as a spy.
Sabiru was also capable of using the Shadow Clone Technique, and seemed to be adept at trap-oriented attacks, as seen when he used a shadow clone in conjunction with some explosive tags to throw Kisuke Maboroshi in a river. He could also perform a particular technique which allowed him to extract others' souls from their bodies, sealing them in tags.
Part II
Past Arc: The Locus of Konoha
After murdering Kisuke by deactivating his life support system, Naruto Uzumaki tried to expose him as a spy. Later with Naruto's help from Kakashi Hatake, he was found liable, but before they could extract any information from him he was taken out by a hidden Kabuto Yakushi.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
fyi 6000 rpm is not really that high of rpm.
The limiting factors to rpms(for dependability) is piston speed and valve train stability,at least at 8000 rpm and lower.So a 350 with a 1/4 inch longer stroke than a 327 will not love to rev as much.
Look back to the mark 1 big blocks,the valve train was not reliable past 5000 rpm,the mark 4 was much better and revved freely to 6k in some factory applications. The 283 would rev 7,000 no problem with not much more than cam,manifold,carb and headers,3 inch stroke,piston speed not as high as a 327,its all math.
forged pistons will last longer than cast in high rpm situations,we all know this. New valve spring technology(last 20 years) allows higher rpms without spring failures and last longer than what we had in the 70s. factory forged GM cranks are very good items,no worries there.Ive seen 1 rod failure in a 283 back in the 70s.street guy (Doug Hall,predator rep in western Canada back then) had a street car that rarely was under 5,000 rpm. That engine was from a full size car with unknown history that had a cam ,manifold ,carb and headers put into a chevy2 with 4.11 gears,and it lasted 2 years of daily abuse.
what ap says is partially true,most cars are not operated at high rpm for long periods of time,but if you do decide to run 7,000 rpm with modern cam springs and good valve train it will last and not likely come apart. Any engine can come apart and its usually the faster guys that lose an engine,,,
list a few cars that rev past 7,000 now,,,BMW/Honda both make power through rpm,anything over head cam(valve train stability)
"love to rev" and "6000-6500" are not words normally associated with street engines.
stock 327's don't "love to rev" more than a stock 350. and if you plan on driving it above 6000 rpm then you should get a well built short block that can take some abuse.
Since you realize this is a street application and big cams are counter productive I would go with the VooDoo 262 cam or one very similar. With an RPM intake, a 750 carb, shorty headers, 9.5:1 compression and that cam I would expect peak power to be around 5700 rpm at about 375hp. A hair more compression and better headers and the 268 cam would put you at 400ish.
Remember you need "optimum power" where you will be using it, NOT at the peak RPM.
The previously mentioned XE268 or the solid cam I mentioned will both also work fairly well but give up some low end torque and mileage- if you want more of a hotrod sound it may be something to consider though.
|I have stated at least 3 times I don't want to race this motor, just have fun and get as optimum power I can for the parts I have... That's not pretending to be anything else than what I have stated repeatedly.... I do appreciate all the help.
You can spin that engine as high as you like, you're just wearing out parts though. 400hp at 5500 RPM is NOT any better than 400hp at 7500 rpm. The XE268h cam would work okay for that combo but a smaller cam would be a little better. While still a little too big if you really want to be able to spin it and have an old school solid cam sound the Lunati 60140 would work, it's critical to use the proper springs though.
FWIW, those heads really don't ever need more valve than 1.94/1.6, the valve size is NOT the restriction, you can get 250cfm+ around a 1.94 valve. Going to a larger valve will actually hurt power, but it's one of those "bigger is better" old wives tales that just won't die.
Instead of pretending you have a race engine build according to what you really have and your results will be much better.
327 power questions
Your engine will make more usable power over a wider RPM range with a XE268H. That's because the larger cams will be hindered by those 461 heads at higher RPMs where it's designed to shine. So all you'll be doing is giving up low-mid RPM torque for nothing more at high RPM. Now, if you had some modern heads with 180-200cc intake runners, that would be different. Just comment from a guy who used a few "too big" cams over the years. You could call Comp Cams and get a custom ground XE268H on a 108 Lsa for a more lopey idle. One more thing as the duration increases you will need larger converters also. For instance a 12-243-3 X4270H 1800-6000 .480/.498 lift 226/234 duration, 397 hp @6000 torque 402 @ 4000. XE268H .447/.480 lift and 224/230 duration @ .050 396 hp @ 6000 torque 401 @ 4000. Your compression ratio compliments the XE268H also. You got to remember you are using stock rods too.
|if its a hydraulic flat tappet cam,expect 6500 rpm.For HEI,you need to have a much better than stock coil to support over 5500 rpm.
I just want something that gives me a smile when I stomp on the gas and I won't hurt the motor... 400hp would be plenty I would think... At .60 over, motor is on borrowed time anyways, and I don't want to speed it up..
Dizzy I'm thinking just simple HEI with Davis unit in it or similar to gets a few more rev's out of a stock deal....
Would a magnum cam 268, 270, or 280 be in the ballpark?? Not stuck on Magnum cams, but am I thinking right???
back in the 70s we ran a sig ersom high flow 2 solid cam in 327s.There are better cams available now. All we had then were 11:1 pistons(dont recommend that now) 750 holleys, 4779, torker manifolds,long slot stamped steel rockers,194s with screw in studs or 202s same castings. I worked at a gas station that had 7 ,,57 chevy belairs.I had a 65 acadian.
All the 57s that had solid cams revved to 7200 and the hydraulic cams all went 6500. All the cars were street driven and bracket raced. We all had problems with points.not cams. WE used dual point mallories or GM off road points. we changed the points about every 6 weeks to 2 months.
You are not asking much from your engine,good ignition,moderate cam,decent carb and intake and try not to shift at 7k and try not to grin every time,,,,
The 462 heads are what I have for now, but would eventually like to bump to aluminum's eventually...
The 462's have been ported pretty good and polished by reputable guy in my area... They are fresh cut to 2.02 /1.60 (from 194's) screw in studs, guide plates, etc... They are getting done right to handle the most they can flow for their vintage....
I'd really like to get to 6-6500 or more if possible just for some adrenaline or even take to track to see what she does in 1/4, but mainly truck is a street cruiser...
Am I limited to my high rpm's by cam and trans and rear setup??? Would a built 350turbo be a better deal??? Truck will not see lots of highway miles, but now and again......
Frame on truck is getting boxed in and crown Vic panther front suspension, etc... So chassis should be able to handle what I have for motor....
In the late 70s when there were very few good heads,there were a lot of engines making power way beyond 7500 rpm. The 327 mouse has been doing this since it came out and is not, was not, and wont ever be limited to 5800 rpm or anywhere near there with stock heads. The 283 had even smaller heads and it can make close to 400 hp at 8,000 rpm and it does not use a 225 duration at 50 cam to do this.
There are better heads than old factory heads,no doubt!!!
Factory heads from the sixties will make power past 7,000 rpm in a 327!!!
As for the math, on those heads you need to notice a few points. Flow, compression, and choke. Even assuming those 160cc heads were heavily ported and taken out to 180cc's you'll be choked around 5800 RPM in the pushrod pinch, assuming you flow enough to make power at that point (225cfm would be adequate and relatively easy to hit) and you have enough compression to make power at that RPM (9.5:1 is about right for that RPM and those chambers) then to make the most average power at those RPM you need to match the duration.
Since you're not working with a restricted intake nor a really good exhaust a 220-225 duration would provide about the duration you need for that RPM and power. With a good thorough job you can easily get over 400hp.
There is more definite math involved than these generalities but I don't feel like putting the effort forth to show it. A great basic website for related calculators though is Wallace Racing.
|ap sometimes you make very good posts,sometimes you dont. 300 "advertised" and since when does time( duration) become not effective with any head? show the math,,,,
The absolute BIGGEST I would go is 225/230, the smallest I'd go is about 210/210. Get all the lift you can with reasonable durability.
|If you want a true 375 hp then use a solid lifter flat tappet or better, advertised duration will be close to 300 with .500 lift, intake centre line and lobe displacement angle tbd. for a truck,the RPM air gap is good enough and use a 750 carb,1,5/8 headers.
Yes, the explanation makes sense... Motor is a standard hyd. Flat tappet deal... Truck is gonna just be a cruiser/driver, and very rarely tow my v-drive boat..
I know 327's love to rev... I,m thinking of about a 25-27 inch rear tire (265/50/15) and with a 700r, should I bump up gear to 4.??? I want to get the benefit of why I chose the 327... 6-6500k revs

I'll be coming home from college for Christmas break here in a few weeks and I'm looking to hunt Bob Brown CA.
I've hunted Schell-Osage and Truman Lake a often, seeing as I'll be in KC I wanted to try out a new place.
I won't have access to a boat while I am home.
My questions:
-What is the natural cover consist of?
-what would work well as a temporary blind (trying to figure out if I want to build something to bring with me)?
-do you need a boat?
-do you hunt from the water or off the bank somewhere?
I'm going to take a drive up there when I get home over thanksgiving so when I go set up for the first time in the dark I'll know what to expect.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

These are the first pictures of the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet. It will make its public debut at the LA motor show in November.
The Beetle Cabriolet features a soft top which folds in ten seconds. Unlike the car it replaces, the roof lies very flat, enabling good vision to the rear.
Seven engine options will be available, closely mirroring the hatchback model. A 103bhp 1.2-litre TSI petrol engine will be available from launch, with a Bluemotion Technology version soon after. A 158bhp 1.4 TSI and 197bhp 2.0 TSI will complete the petrol range. Diesel choices will include a 103bhp 1.6-litre TDI offered with, or without Bluemotion Technology, and a 138bhp 2.0-litre TDI.
A Volkswagen spokesman confirmed the Beetle Cabriolet will feature the hatchbacks multllink front and torsion beam rear suspension. Only the range-topping 2.0 TSI model will carry a more sophisticated four-link rear arrangement.
Like the Beetle hatchback, the Cabriolet will be built in Volkswagens plant in Puebla, Mexico, sharing the same platform as the Jetta, itself a modified version of the Golf Mk6 platform.
The Cabriolet will be fitted with an active rollover protection system featuring two extendable modules behind the rear seat backs activated, in the event of a rollover, via the airbag control unit. Volkswagen says the system will deploy in milliseconds, providing front and rear protection for all four occupants.
No pricing has been revealed, but it is expected Cabriolet models will attract a premium of between £2500 to £3000 over the hatchback, with the first deliveries arriving next summer. More details will be revealed at the cars public unveiling in Los Angeles.

Merry Christmas All ! ,I've got a 1953 Allis Chalmers WD45 w/ front end loader . We call her Old Reliable , and she lives up to the name . I use her for logging and snow removal mostly , but sure is handy for moving things like say a refridgerator . Got her for $2500 3 years ago . Things back then were built to be repaired by simple common folk like me . So what there isn't power steering , it's good exercise I figure . ---Burl---

Right now I have it high centered on edge of the new driveway I'm building with a fence post exactly half way between the front and rear wheels. From certain angles it looks like I drove the fence post through the tractor.

Visiting Iona College picked up two more MAAC wins to improve to 10-14 overall and 4-0 in conference play with a doubleheader sweep of Canisius Sunday afternoon at the Demske Sports Complex. The Gaels came back to win the first game by the score of 10-8 before closing out the Golden Griffins 16-6 in five innings. Canisius is now 7-19 overall and 0-2 in league games.
In the first game, Canisius trailed Iona 6-4 heading into the bottom of the fifth, but the Griffs scored three times in the frame to take a 7-6 lead. In that inning, back-to-back singles from Michelle DelPrince and Valorie Nappo put runners at first and second with one out, and both players moved up on a wild pitch. Sophomore Bethany DeMarco followed Nappo by drawing a one-out walk, and freshman Samantha Sharkey drove in a run when she earned a bases-loaded walk to make the score 6-5 in favor of the Gaels. Canisius took its first lead of the game when freshman Jessica Berzins ripped a base hit back up the middle that allowed Sharkey and DeMarco to score. That lead was short-lived however, as Iona freshman Kristen Turner hit her third grand slam of the season with two down in the sixth make the score 10-7 in favor of the Gaels. The Griffs got a run back in the home half of the sixth on a sacrifice fly by DelPrince, but that was as close as the Blue and Gold would get for the remainder of the contest.
Iona junior Carly Argyle earned the win in the circle for the Gaels after she went the distance and allowed eight runs, all earned, on 10 hits to go with five strikeouts and seven walks. Canisius senior pitcher Jen Consaul took the loss for the Blue and Gold to see her record fall to 6-10 on the season. Consaul posted her 13th complete-game of the season and she allowed 10 runs on 14 hits while striking out four and walking two. DelPrince went 3-for-3 with two doubles, three RBI and three runs scored in the losing effort for Canisius, while Berzins went 2-for-3 with two runs driven in. Senior Robin Kennery and freshman Lindsey Silfer also had doubles for the Griffs.
In the nightcap, Iona jumped out to a 5-1 lead after the first inning and added seven runs in the second en route to the 16-6 victory in five innings. Allison Hand and Eileen McCann each had home runs for Iona, which entered the game ranked first in the MAAC in team batting average. Sophomore Jordan Courage earned her second win of the season in the circle for Iona after she allowed four runs on three hits while walking two in 3.1 innings. Canisius sophomore Jenn Solis took the loss to fall to 0-3 on the year after she gave up seven runs, six earned, on eight hits to go with two strikeouts and three walks.
Kennery went 2-for-3 with two runs scored and an RBI in the game two loss for Canisius. One of those two hits was her sixth double of the season. Sophomore Meghan Cuda had a hit in the loss and junior Kalie Michalski picked up her first career hit with a single in the bottom of the fifth.
The Griffs will close out their weekend homestand on Monday when the team hosts Fairfield. First pitch is set for 10 a.m. The games were originally scheduled to be played Saturday afternoon, but were postponed because of weather issues.
Game Notes: This marked the 50th and 51st all-time games between Canisius and Iona, with the Griffs leading the series 35-16… This is the first time Canisius has ever been swept in its first MAAC doubleheader of the season… Consaul now ranks sixth in school history with 106 career appearances, and her 13th complete-game of the season gives her 51 for her career, which ranks third in program history… Kennery now has 23 career doubles, which ties her for 21st all-time in the school's record book for two-base hits... Berzins has no reached base safely in four-straight games… Silfer has a three-game hitting streak going, one game shy of tying her career-best four-game hitting streak, which came earlier this season.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Actually the house is small. We had a kitchen added in a semi-enclosed back patio area. I keep chairs, T.V., treadmill, etc. out there and that's where we spend a lot of our time. Since it's only semi-enclosed everyone can come and go as they please. BTW, we also put in an outdoor shower. We live in South Texas where the winters are quite mild (supposed to be low 80's this weekend).
Our yard is huge and we are on a ranch so there's plenty of outdoor space.
Oh, and no knick-knacks, no low hanging pictures, wall clocks, indoor plants, and very little furniture.
LOL rey, really. We boarded 5 once when we went to Alaska and almost died when we got home and saw the bill.
So yeah. We have someone stay here w/the dogs now, or bring 'em. That's always a site.
I can't imagine 5 Great Danes! Your house must be roomy! And no nick-nacks, right??
Ok, I'm trying to post pics but it isn't working. I went to the Pictures forum and am following the directions on the sticky but I'm doing something wrong.
msvette2u, once I went over 3 I had to put traveling on hold. Vacations; Ha!
I used to have just 3 GSD's and we traveled coast to coast and had a blast. I used to always say that my dogs have peed on at least one tree in nearly every state in this country.
We have 9 as well.
6 Dachshunds, 1 GSD, 1 Collie, and 1 Boston mix.
It's a handful. And the reason we don't travel real far when we travel...they are small or it would never work, as our house is so tiny

5 Great Danes
1 Golden Retriever/Border Collie
1 ACD/Catahoula
We often have a wolfdog and 1 other here on weekends. The wolfdog was here full-time but she's an escape artist and so we only have her with us when I'm home. Each time my hubby fixes where she got out from he always says she can't get out anymore, but she does. So, I only let her over when I'm home all day (weekends). Ya see, I have her number. lol
Oh, and when I say "out" I don't mean from our yard but from the 'little yard' where the dogs stay when we aren't outside. We actually have a 1.5 acre yard but I don't let them run all over unless supervised. Then there's another fenced area immediately around the house where they have 24/7 access.
|We need pictures!

Nine is enough
Quite often I read where someone wants to add another dog to their family or others who simply are too afraid of owning more than one due to potential problems.
Well, I have 9. Yup, you read that right; Nine.
Not all came into the family at the same time. My current wild bunch came in staggered over 5-6 years. I have 3 females and 6 males. All females are spayed and 3 of the males neutered, 3 intact. They range in size from 60lbs. to 160lbs, in age from 8mos. to nearly 8yrs. And, this is what warms my heart; they all love each other dearly.
No, the love didnt happen overnight, we have had our share of fights. Most were minor but some quite serious. The minor squabbles I never interfere in as I have found, in my experience, just like children; they need to fight it out amongst themselves to get it out of their systems. Serious fights I, of course, intervene and give some serious lecturing and time outs. Call me the crazy dog lady (better than being a crazy cat lady. lol) but I do talk to my dogs. Again, I have found, in my own experience, the more you talk to them the more they seem to understand.
Anyway, each evening as we are relaxing after meals, play, etc. and winding down for bed my gang will all lay around with some grooming others, some cuddled with another and everyone just happy to be close to the rest of the family.
To see so many of different sizes, ages and breeds, male and female, altered and intact, get along so lovingly is truly a beautiful thing to see. It always makes me smile and truly warms my heart.
I know a multiple dog home isnt for everyone but it is for me. We certainly have the space for them all. Money is always tight but everyone gets feed well, the medications/vitamins they need and a new collar now and then.
By the way, one thing I have noticed is that the more dogs I have the more likely my others will accept a new member. Besides my 9 we will sometimes have a weekend visitor, Fantasia, a female wolfdog, or one of the rescue dogs needing to learn some manners before going to their forever home. Most of the problems I had were when we only had a couple/few dogs and added another. After we got over 5 it wasnt much, if any, issue at all with the others.
Oh, and NO, I do not plan on adding anymore. We are at our limit.

True enough, I suppose. It's a fair cop. Do as you will.

Records Management
Records Management assists University of Denver staff and faculty in ensuring that records needed to meet the University's operational, legal, and regulatory requirements are managed in compliance with University policy. We assist by:
- Maintaining the University's Records Retention Schedule .
- Monitoring external record-keeping requirements.
- Conducting (in partnership with staff and faculty department representatives) records reviews and assessments.
- Supporting Continuity of Operations planning for Vital Records.
How we can help
Compliance & Records Management monitors external record-keeping requirements and assists departments by:
- Researching record-keeping regulations.
- Conducting records inventories, assessments, and providing recommendations.
- Assessing business records management systems and practices.
important message
We encourage all staff and faculty to adhere to the Records Retention Schedule and ask for your support in complying to the best of your ability. However, recognizing that the University's records management program is still in an early stage of its development, there will be instances when compliance with the schedule -- and the records destruction expectations, in particular -- will be difficult or not possible. We will continue to work to resolve these types of issues and there will be an announcement when full compliance with the Records Retention Schedule is expected.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Records Retention Schedule organized?
The records retention schedule is divided into functional categories. The categories do not correspond to divisions or departments because many record groups are used in departments and offices across campus. Each functional category includes multiple record series that prescribe the length of time the records must be kept, disposition requirements, and Primary Owners.
What is a Primary Owner?
The Primary Owner is the department or Unit responsible for the Official/Master copy. If your department has a copy of a record for which your unit is not the Primary Owner, the record may be destroyed according to the manner prescribed on the Retention Schedule. We recommend that the record is destroyed as soon as possible to save space and prevent possible mishandling of the records.
Are there any exceptions to the retention periods listed on the retention schedule?
Yes. Records scheduled for destruction may sometimes be placed on legal or administrative hold. Holds are placed on records when they are audited, involved in litigation or otherwise requested by the courts or government. Records that are relevant to ongoing litigation or reasonably anticipated to relate to foreseeable legal action must be preserved without alteration. Refer to the Litigation Hold Policy for additional information.
Can I get rid of documents that aren't specifically listed on the retention schedule?
If a record type is not specifically listed on the retention schedule, it is subject to a 3-year retention period. This requirement is defined in record class OTH-138007 ("This classification applies to all records not listed in this schedule - whatever the record type.")

Working at IMS – Staff Sangha Program
In addition to ensuring the smooth operations of retreats, our staff members share responsibility for the integrity of the spiritual refuge that IMS offers.
Our Staff Sangha Program supports the investigation of the teachings, the development of individual practices and the deepening of a spirit of service. It is designed to help staff bring greater mindfulness and kindness into social interactions and to grow in wisdom and compassion.
Resident Teachers implement this program and guide employees year-round in the integration of meditation practice with daily life and work. They highlight the perspective that all life situations, whether individual or interpersonal, are opportunities for awareness.
Program Elements
- Monthly teachings and discussions offered by resident and visiting teachers
- Kalyana Mitta (Spiritual Friends) groups – small peer groups that meet twice a month for an hour to discuss practice topics, facilitated by our Resident Teachers
- Hour-long dharma meetings every other week for staff departments with a Resident Teacher
- Staff group sittings twice a month
- An annual week-long Staff Retreat
- Optional individual interviews with a Resident Teacher; one half-hour meeting available weekly
"If you want to integrate practice into daily life, this is a great place to do it. It feels really easy to let practice suffuse daily life."
"Coming on staff at IMS was the best move I have ever made."


text: Water is probably the most important basic nesessity, and is often taken for granted. I have a couple of old wells on my property that I am going to have tested for safety, this summer. I'm thinking that this is an "Underrated Concern", and will get increased attention soon. The Ogalalla Aquifer, which feeds much of the ground water sources locally has been on a steady decline for many years. At some point this will effect agriculture, and contribute to an increasing demand on all fresh water sources. The prospects for West/Southwestern States seems even more serious considering the growing population. Conservation, or alternatives, or don't worry, that's the question.
