text: We had two teams out there tonight for the Pistons. One, where we matched up defensively. That team was over plus 30. And then we had the other half of the game, where we did not match up defensively, and we were minus about 14.(or so.) Jason Maxiell is quick enough to cover Lewis. This simple fact meant that when Maxiell was in the game, paired up with any or Sheed, Dyess, or Theo, we rocked. Totally rocked. Orlando could hardly score on us, as long as we matched up. Conversely, whenever we tried putting two bigs in against a team that only plays one big at a time, we did poorly. (With the exception of a 4 minute stint in the 3rd quarter with Dyess and Sheed in.) Now, I have no qualm at all about how things went in this game. Just letting people know what happened. Letting them know that we could do even better, by matching them defensively the whole game vs. only half. We have the players to do so. This was probably the most fun I have had at the Palace watching a game in years. I'd say since 04. The fans were into it from the start, and Blaha complimented us fans for giving such great vocal support to the team; loudly cheering on virtually every play the Pistons made. I'd say the noise level got the loudest on that three Sheed nailed as we started the game out with a lead. My daughter went with me to this one. So far, if she has attended a game in a series, the Pistons have always won that series. So its in the bag. Guess they still have to play the games though. Good practice for next round. (Of course, the players can't think that way even though we can.) Back to the game. We started out with a good lead. Maxiell started again. Six minutes into the game, after picking up one foul, Maxiell came out and Dyess came in. Our lead was soon gone. We were having trouble defending Orlando's two small forwards, Turk and Lewis. Now, you ask why Flip would sit Maxiell with one foul? Hey, it kept us in control of our rotation. Maxiell, if the game would have been closer, would have ended up with just under 30 minutes. About right. Remember, we do have to worry about Maxy being fresh for later rounds. He is already so far beyond last years minutes total that you really do have to worry about such things. Anyway, Maxiell got four stints in the game, with plenty of rest between each stint, and none of the stints lasting too long. Somewhat surprisingly, JMAX was put on Howard a whole lot, and JMAX did an excellent job guarding the big fellow. The fouls he did get were not from guarding his man, but usually playing help out D. (Which means if we really wanted him to stay in the game a bit longer, we could tell him to limit his fouls a bit further in those situations.) JMAX came up big in the scoring department, getting 10 points in the 4th as we iced the game with only Rip being out there among our four stars. Even though he only scored 12, he got player of the game. And very deservedly so for his defense. Nine boards, three blocks. Quite a game indeed. JMAX did not have his typical scoring game. Instead, his scoring was from jumpers and made free throws. Sheed played great D. He was called upon to chase Lewis around a whole lot, and did not do that well there; but anyone wanting to come inside with that basketball had Sheed to contend with. He did guard Howard some, and I'd say if Sheed guarded Howard the whole game Howard would be near scoreless. I mean, like, we have so much depth, defensively, against the likes of Howard. Dyess took his turns and did ok gaurding Howard. Then Theo had a good long shift against him as we out this one to bed to start the 4th with a 17-4 run. Billups won his matchup with Nelson rather easily. Nelson did manage to cause a little bit of havoc, getting to the hoop on the slower Billups a couple of times, breaking down our D a couple of times. But Billups had his number in the 3rd quarter especially, where he continually drove in and forced Nelson to foul him. Nelson was pulled from the game, and Orlando did surge a bit to end the 4th. It was a 7 point game going into the 4th. (And thats where Maxiell and Theo, Stuckey, Rip, and Tay had that run. Herrmann was in for the end of it though.) Afflalo only played about 4 minutes in the first half. (Maybe up to 6. He came in and out to end the 1st quarter, spelling Rip for a moment, and then was used to rest Tay for a bit, maybe 4 minutes, in the 2nd quarter. He played solid D. Just what we need. A bit more on the game flow. We took a lead to start the game, with Maxiell in. The game got tied back up after he went out. He came back in, we got a lead again. He went out, and lead did not go away, but went down to one point. To start the 3rd quarter, again, we build a lead. The lead increased this time after Maxiell left the floor, but shrunk back before the end of the quarter. Then Maxiell came in to start the 4th, and just flat out took over the game. A jumper made by Stuckey though started that run. Anyone who knows me can imagine how thrilled I was to see Stuckey and Maxiell starring like that. Rip helped with some free throws and a couple of buckets. Tay hit a jumper. And our defense, of course since we were matching up, was fantastic.) Theo had 3 offensive rebounds, one of which he put back. Two of those offensive rebounds were early in that run, and were a large part of what triggered it. On one drive in by Theo, he got mugged. I am sitting on the other end of the court from that play, so I don't know the details exactly. But Rip got to shoot a tech out of it all. Tay had another block, on Hedo. For the game, Tay did some scoring and hauled down his share of rebounds. (12 points I heard on the post game show driving home. I remember he was leading us in rebounds with 5 at the half.) On defense, if he was guarding someone, they had to take a really tough shot to score any points. Hedo and Turk had good games solely because we chose not to match up much of the game, not because of any inability to check these guys on Tay's part. Dyess did hit some jumpers, but what really helped us was him going inside some, with success, with drawing key fouls. Look, Orlando, since they only use one big, is about as soft as you can get as far as guarding the middle. I loved that Dyess was in there exploiting that. Rip ended up with 17 points. He started out fast hitting several jumpers early. He is way too quick and tall for any of Orlando's guards to score on. This matchup is hugely in our favor. Stuckey only scored 4 points, but he also is too fast, and too tall, for Orlando's guards. He fits right in to this series. Yes, it would be nice to see him drive in more. I bet he is just sizing up the situation. I bet we see him go to the hoop a lot yet in this series. Be very afraid Orlando. Hayes is now 4th on the depth chart apparently at small forward. Strike that. Fifth. Stuckey has been spelling Tay some here and there also, besides Afflalo, and now Herrmann. Herrmann did nothing of note really. He got to the line and made a free throw. But on the other hand, I did not notice him getting burnt on D either. (I will have to watch the film to check on this, but he seemed to guard Turk just fine. And if so, of course the question becomes do you play Afflalo or Herrmann. Well, sometimes Orlando goes with 3 guards, so maybe its Afflalo then and Herrmann otherwise. It will be interesting to see.) Can't think of much else at the moment. Again, this was one extremely fun game to be at. Anyone else who goes to the remaining playoff games, please try to live up to the standard set by this crowd tonight. I'll add that Hunter did not dress. He was not listed on the injury report. Herrmann was activated in his place. GO PISTONS!!!!!

On Yet Another False Claim by McIntyre and McKitrick
Lets turn, now, to MM's claim that the "Hockey Stick" arises simply from the application of non-centered PCA to red noise. Given a large enough "fishing expedition" analysis, it is of course possible to find "Hockey-Stick like" PC series out of red noise. But this is a meaningless exercise. Given a large enough number of analyses, one can of course produce a series that is arbitrarily close to just about any chosen reference series via application of PCA to random red noise. The more meaningful statistical question, however is this one: Given the "null hypothesis" of red noise with the same statistical attributes (i.e., variance and lag-one autocorrelation coefficients) as the actual North American ITRDB series, and applying the MBH98 (non-centered) PCA convention, how likely is one to produce the "Hockey Stick" pattern from chance alone. Precisely that question was addressed by Mann and coworkers in their response to the rejected MM comment through the use of so-called "Monte Carlo" simulations that generate an ensemble of realizations of the random process in question (see here) to determine the "null" eigenvalue spectrum that would be expected from simple red noise with the statistical attributes of the North American ITRDB data. The Monte Carlo experiments were performed for both the MBH98 (non-centered) and MM (centered) PCA conventions. This analysis showed that the "Hockey Stick" pattern is highly significant in comparison with the expectations from random (red) noise for both the MBH98 and MM conventions. In the MBH98 convention, the "Hockey Stick" pattern corresponds to PC#1 , and the variance carried by that pattern (blue circle at x=1: y=0.38) is more than 5 times what would be expected from chance alone under the null hypothesis of red noise (blue curve at x=1: y = 0.07), significant well above the 99% confidence level (the first 2 PCs are statistically significant at the 95% level in this case). For comparison, in the MM convention, the "Hockey Stick" pattern corresponds to PC#4, and the variance carried by that pattern (red '+" at x=4: y=0.07) is about 2 times what would be expected from chance alone (red curve at x=4: y=0.035), and still clearly significant (the first 5 PCs are statistically significant at the 95% level in this case).
So the facts deal a death blow to yet another false claim by McIntyre and McKitrick. Despite the plain facts, as laid out here, however, their false claims have nonetheless been parroted in op-ed pieces of dubious origin and other non-peer-reviewed venues. One of the primary missions of "RealClimate" is indeed to expose the false, disingenuous, and misleading claims often found in such venues.

Ridiculous price,,,you can take any gun to a lazer engraver and get the same thing done for much less. There's lots of engravers around out there now so you can go many different places to get it done if you "must have it" , and everything is just a simple CNC program that anyone can do with the right equipment. It's just something else to charge all out doors for IMO.
250 for a lower is a rip off IMO, weather it makes a political statement or not! He'll be gone soon enough and in the grand scheme of things, it won't give the gun 2 cents more value by having it on there, and possibly less in the long run,. I'd want nothing with that POS's name on it, period!
And the sooner forgotten,,,the better,,,,,just me.

Reflections of 2010 with a Toast to the New Year!
As we reflect on the year of 2010 and celebrate the New Year with friends and family, I want to wish everyone a very happy and safe New Year!! In 2010 we had a lot of obstacles to face and hurdles to get over. With my husband being a full time student and nearing the completion of his degree, there was a whole lot more of his time put towards school and of course with me being the only one working this year, finances became a whole lot tighter. We gained full custody of my daughter in late January, which was a very bitter sweat victory!! We faced many medical emergencies in the Spring with our 2 year old son who had a lung disorder. From seizures caused by incredibly high fevers, to fluid building up in his lungs. Then in August of 2010 our prayers were finally answered when the doctors decided it was time to go through with the long awaited surgery that our little man desperately needed to strive in life. Going through a familiar heartbreak with a dear friend of mine, who in a very unfortunate twist of fate, lost her baby girl 2 days before her due date. Medical issues with family, which I have taken as an eye opener, a warning so to say. 2010 has been a year of many ups and downs, as is the way of life. Over the past few years I have learned to take life for the way it is and not question what I have been given but to take everything, the good and the bad, as a blessing. Here's to obstacles overcome, and joys remembered. 2010 maybe gone but not forgotten, as of the many years passed!!

Let her get the .22 and shoot it, later if she wants to go to higher caliber you can use the .22 for inexpensive practice....try the new M&P .22 .......JJ
finally talk my wife into getting a hand gun and shes stuck on wanting a 22cal any ideas on how to get her intersted in a bigger cal or a something with a low recoil
Let her get the .22 and shoot it, later if she wants to go to higher caliber you can use the .22 for inexpensive practice....try the new M&P .22 .......JJ
i got a .357 for my wife....
best damned trade i ever made!
yeah thats what id like for to get but she worried about the recoil i think we might try the fn 5.7
My wife's first experience shooting, was with a 92fs......she really didn't have too much problem with the recoil, and did well, actually......I think the more they shoot, recoil becomes secondary.......I would worry more about the mechanics, ie. racking the slide, loading the mag, disassembly for cleaning etc.
My wife wanted a .22 or a .380. I just told her that she could bump to a .38 or 9mm which would have alittle better stopping power while not being that much worse on recoil she opted for a 9mm. I make her practice with the highest grain full metal jacket to get use to the recoil. Then I bought her some low recoil hollowpoints for when she is at the house.
Of course one thing that helped my wife is I had her go to the range twice. Once she shot my full sized .40 the 2nd she shot a compact .40. I told her if she can handle that she would really like the low recoil of the 9mm. She absolutely loved the .9mm compact M&P I bought her. Heck, I liked it a ton better than my full sized M&P .40. I liked it about the same as my .40c M&P though.

Hi Lucy,
I teach an advanced adult who requires only speaking classes from me. We've been having classes for almost a year and I've started to run out of ideas. I've searched the net for useful webpages, we've already covered all controversial topics, gone through personal stuff:)...anybody has any ideas what I can do, maybe some ready-to-use materials? I'm thinking problem to solve, conversation questions or any others. I'll be really grateful for any..
Thanks in advance,

Well, where should I start? I just got reminded that I could share some more information. About the "split plugs" used on the shoulder stock of the ESB blaster. "Split plug" is already a term that only confuses the heck out of some folks that still have those lying around somewhere. What's often referred to as a split plug is nothing more than a connector/plug that was "split" open so it could be attached flat to the shoulder stock. In order to locate these, a bit more information is always helpful, so here it goes.
The ones that I have located were manufactured by a german company called "Hirschmann". They are well known for their antennas, be it cars or household. If you look at the center of the plug in the picture below, you need to imagine that two little metal pins go through there to connect to your old radio or tv. Cause that's what they have been used for, to connect an antenna to your TV or radio. Having been able to find the originals I can provide you with the parts number (stamped onto the part), and I can also tell you guys that the manufacturer is out of all old stock, otherwise I would have offered them here to you guys. They have long been discontinued, mostly saw use in the 60's/70's.
The picture below shows the front and the back. The circle you see on the back depicting an "h" is the companies logo. There are LMK/AM connectors(pictured) and UKW/FM connectors(not pictured). They both look identical folded open, but the FM connector has a plastic pin on the back that needs to be cut off, but can be used as well, same look, everything, as you won't see the back on the stock anyways. These connectors have also been used on other Star Wars costumes. The part number for the FM connector was 730 854 and the part number for the AM connector was 730 851. The cable that was used on these plugs was a flat wire, not round as used on later connectors. In order to get an idea how the closed connector looks like, take a look at the backside, imagine that the area with the two holes is the bottom and to the left and the right is a view of the side. Mine came from the U.K. and that's the best place to look for them. Hope this helps you guys.

Question: What do beef, milk, cotton, and concrete masonry have in common?
Answer: All of these industries have or will have check-off programs, if Major Ogilvie has anything to do with it. Pushing the legislation through the U.S. Congress and talking up its merits to concrete block producers across the country is taking up almost all of his time these days.
It's a major undertaking for someone who is a relative newcomer to concrete masonry. Ogilvie, 53, a native of Birmingham, Ala., which he still calls home, was a star running back for two of the University of Alabama national championship football teams under coaching legend Bear Bryant. He then toiled in the paper industry for 20 years, first for a small company where he was a broker. He then started his own paper company, developing new products and technologies, before joining Block USA in 2003.
Shortly thereafter, three major associations—the Brick Industry Association, Mason Contractors Association of America, and the National Concrete Masonry Association (NCMA)—formed Vision 2020. The goal: Convince all city planners, communities, and towns to make masonry the primary building material for their communities.
While the effort was admirable, Ogilvie today says it had one major shortcoming. "Vision 2020 was a tremendous plan, but we didn't have any money to capitalize and execute it," he says. "Leadership of our industry then started to look around to see what we can do to better and more consistently fund marketing, promotion, education, and research."
He went to the nation's capitol to see if any federal money was available for research and other initiatives, but many members of the associations did not want a government handout. Besides, there wasn't any money available anyway.
Ogilvie then learned about check-off programs which had become popular in the agricultural industry. He became national chairman of the National Concrete Masonry Check-Off Program in fall 2010 and immediately hosted a group of industry leaders called the Champions Group in Dallas in December 2010. "We gained a level of support from people nationwide," he recalls. "We came up with a game plan."
For his tireless efforts in promoting and seeking approval for the National Concrete Masonry Check-Off Program, TCP names Major Ogilvie a 2012 Industry Influencer.
There are already 23 other commodity check-off programs in the U.S. Ogilvie has been instrumental in getting the legislation before Congress which would authorize creating the program for concrete masonry, and he has been hosting "flyins" to gain support.
If both the Senate and House of Representatives accept the plan, which may happen before the end of 2012, the concrete block producers must give approval before the program can be implemented.
"The only real objection is folks not wanting government to be involved," Ogilvie explains. "I understand that a little, but the check-off programs have helped industries tremendously to better promote and grow their industries, particularly small family-owned businesses with commodity products like our own. They enjoy a strong record."
Most of the 350 U.S. concrete block producers are small, family-owned businesses. Many are concerned about chipping in 1 cent for every block produced, money that is hard to come these days.
"Some folks have reservations about paying the assessment or establishing the program, but every producing company in the country I have talked to realizes we've got to do something better to promote, market, research, and educate people about our products," he says. "If somebody has a better plan that will help us do that, I am fine with it. NCMA has a voluntary program, but it's a pittance of what we need to do to properly promote our products."
Ogilvie estimates the industry is currently doing only one-quarter of the marketing and research it needs. "It's not sufficient, adequate, and consistent to accommodate what many of us in the industry believe we have to do," he says.
Ogilvie stresses that NCMA and the check-off program would operate independently and have separate boards of directors. (Ogilvie is on NCMA's board.) NCMA and other organizations will continue conducting research and doing lobbying and government affairs work because check-off funds cannot be used for lobbying.
One issuue the program can address is updating concrete masonry design. "A lot of designers are using old technologies from the 1980s and '90s," he says. "Those designs are penalizing our products today. It's a critical part of what we need to do. There are several areas where I believe a check-off program will make a difference for our industry. Wind and fire resistance, sustainability and life-cycle costs are important values we need to promote to our customers."
For more information on the Concrete Masonry Check-Off Program and to see a video presentation by Major Ogilvie, visit the program's website at www.cmucheckoff.com.
How the Check-off Program Would Work
Congress must approve allowing the concrete masonry industry to establish the program.
- If a majority of concrete block producers agree to the program, each producer will be assessed 1 cent per unit produced.
- Government does not collect the funds. A third-party entity accountable to the board does so.
- An industry-nominated board will manage the money. Major Ogilvie estimates collecting $8 million to $10 million annually, based on current volume estimates. The board will monitor and evaluate the program's results.
- The industry selects a slate of nominees from different size companies from various regions. The secretary of the agency overseeing the program appoints 21 voting board members from this slate of nominees.
- The funds can only be used to support research, education, and promotion within the industry and will fund both regional and national initiatives.

Clutch grabs hard when cold
After a summer of a nicely working clutch, the cold damp weather of Fall seems to correspond with my clutch grabbing when shifting gears (problem worse in lowwer gears). After about 10 minutes of driving (including a fair bit of shifting), the problem goes away.
This car often sits for a week or more at a time in an unheated garage.
Could it be simply condensation on the clutch disc, or is that wishful thinking?
Details: McLeod 3 finger pressure plate, steel flywheel, and stock-type clutch disc
Maybe you got some oil on the disc.
What motor, tranny and car?
I don't think there's any oil, but of course I can't be sure unless I take everything apart. I did have it apart about 1500 miles ago, and there was no oil. What little I can see through the bellhousing hole (where the shift fork exits) looks dry, although I'm sure it wouldn't take much oil to cause a problem.
At that time, the engine was re-done due to a broken piston, and of course a new crankshaft endseal was installed.
Engine is a Ford 428 with a Lakewood Bellhousing and a Richmond Gear 5-speed. Flywheel, presssure plate, clutch disc and flywheel only have a little over 6000 miles on them.
I have had clutch problems before (chatter) and I suspected oil contamination, but it turned out to be a leaky slave cylinder which allowed air into the hydraulics. New slave cylinder, bled the line, and I've had trouble free clutch operation all summer until just a week or two ago. Around this same time, we've had both high humidity and a lot of rain due to storms coming up the eastern coast. The weather is quite colder than during the summer as well.
Mind you, my standard transmission truck works fine, but it's kept outdoors and used every day. The problem clutch is in a cobra kit car and is stored, often for weeks at a time, in an unheated garage.
If the weather ever clears up for more than 1 day at a time, I'll try the clutch two days in a row and see if the problem comes back the second day. If it doesn't, then I'll assume moisture.
I'd say to try readjusting it, but you have a juice set-up.:cool:
That kind of weather along w/the extended periods between use could be causing surface rust. Whether that would make the clutch grabby, I cannot say. I'd be interested in seeing if there was any difference using it more often like you said.
clutch stuck ?
A friend had a stock restored 34 ford pickup, It had only been around the block before he got it. It sat for 3 years in his garage,He didn't want his kids driving it with mech, brakes, and , . when he started it the clutch was stuck. push the pedal and nothing happened. He asked around then brought to me. I had a set of 40 brakes in a milk crate, I started it in neutral, warmed it up, then pushed it into the street, started it in first gear, full throttle with the clutch down. One short burn out and it broke the disc loose from the flywheel. We decided that when the flywheel was resurfaced it had absorbed coolant and setting for a long time it reacted with the disc material. I drove around the block slipping the clutch a little to heat and polish the surface.
things to check
Did they install a new roller- ball bearing pilot or a bronze bushing ? bushings wear out too fast. are all the bellhousing bolts, trans bolts tight ?. Motor mounts Mid engine ? , Hanging by a front and the trans by the rear will cause clutch problems, propper gear lube in the trans?
Yes, I had a stuck clutch with an Alfa Romeo Spyder I used to own. Just sitting one winter did it. And of course leaving drum brakes on (via the emergency or parking brake) for extended periods can seize them up too. But once broken free they tend to work OK.
Pilot bushing is a bronze one, and was replaced when I first built the engine, 6000 miles ago. I didn't do much of an inspection when I had it aprt 1500 miles ago, but I did "look" at it and it appeared OK.
On the re-adjustment, I have had luck with changing the clutch fork play (when clutch is engaged...pedal up) for some things (noises), but they are usually repetitious in nature. This problem does go away.
Last time I checked the clutch, I did notice some transfer of disc material on the flywheel. More of a stain than anything. And because of the pattern, I could tell it was from sitting a while. I just cleaned it off with Scotch-Brite and some Brake Klean. I contaced McLeod about the colour of the disc, which had darkened a bit since I originally installed it, and they told me that was normal.
Keeping in mind I've only a little over 6000 miles on this car over the last 12 years or so (and no it's not a garage queen... just driving it isn't as much fun as building it) I suppose the clutch disc could have absorbed moisture and with the extra dampness and cold these days, it just grabs for a while until it warms up. Next time I have it apart, I think I"ll change the clutch disc and clean up the pressure plate and flywheel just to eliminate that possibility.
EDIT: I forgot to add, I think all bolts are tight, but I'll check them to be sure. Good idea, that. Also, I do have some suspicion about the left front motor mount, so I think I'll check it out as well. This clutch grabbing is kind of like a clunk, but drive-shaft, u-joints and differential are all good. Transmission mount is new.
Update. I decided to do a test drive this evening, and lo and behold, the clutch worked just fine. It's been about 4 days to the hour since I last drove it, so it does seem like letting it sit for more than a week at a time has something to do with the problem. The car had been sitting for more than a week when I had my last two drives (before this evening) where the problem showed up.
So I don't have much to go on, although I suspect one fo the following:
1/ Moisture is somehow causing a problem when it sits for a longish time. And it has been very damp out lately.
2/ Resin from the clutch disc is on the flywheel or pressure plate or both, and in cold weather, it tends to make the clutch grab. And it has been cold out lately, although not so much today.
3/ A mouse crawled into the bellhousing through the hole where the clutch fork exits and got ground up, thus contaminating the disc. And I do have mice in my garage (although I think this unlikely and probably shouldn't give it any consideration...LOL)
I think it's #3. The Mouse.
I know I missed a gear when I had a mouse run across the floor when driving my old Chevelle!! LOL!!
If you think it's moisture related put a heater under the clutch overnight and then test. FWIW it doesn't take much oil to make a disc crap out.

305 heads put onto a 350 sbc block
ok so after reading all the threads about how people refuse to put 305 heads onto a 350 i decided to do it myself and see what all the fuss is about....so i took a set of 144.....416 305 heads and put the pair onto a 1979 camaro 350 engine, stock pistons...new bottom end build with all new bearings and such.edelbrock 2102 cam. with an edelbrock airgap intake, longtube hedders on em with a 600 cfm edelbrock 4barrel carb w. manual choke. 4 speed 4x4 standard into an 86 k-1500 pickup with true dual super 40s at 2.5" i.d with crossover pipe....and let me tell all you non believers when i fired this mother up it sounded like something from hell came up!!! the compression is at 190 psi per cylinder now instead of 150. and i have virtually lost no top end to this setup. it idles nicely at 600 rpm and the valve clear. is nicely done with the stock pistons, no knocking or pinging what so ever the head gaskets measured at 42 thousandths thick. the low end torque now....well it picked up quite a damn bit and now i have a harder time moving without roasting the damn tires lol...but needless to say it tops at 6800 which i lost about 150 rpm...big deal really lol...and let me tell everyone ....it runs off 87 octane gas with ZERO hesitation...and the carb is setup for higher fuel economy....i tried for power and it was pointless to burn even more rubber so i set it back. now if anyone thinks that a build with 305s on a 350 is not sensible id be thinking differently....i mean when people read they want to see how people actually got setups like this working right...not all the people who talk about it and have never actually done it....i will attempt to post pics if i can on here through out the week.
The small combustion chamber runs the compression ratio way up. The spark plug is off to one side resulting in a longer burn time. This is compensated for with more ignition advance. Relative to fast burn heads these will tend to burn more fuel for the power developed. For fuel quantity restricted racing classes, this can be a problem. Otherwise its just an expense.
I have a hard time with 190 psi cranking and 87 octane, unless you've discovered something tens of thousands of hot rodders and engineers haven't. But weather, altitude, humidity, and topography are big players in octane requirement against cranking pressure. A manual transmission and stiff overall gearing will also let you get away with more compression ratio than will an automatic, especially when teamed with high ratio overall gearing. That's a matter of loading on the crankshaft versus throttle position. One of the worst performance corners on the envelop is low RPM coupled with high loading and a lot of throttle opening. This is what is meant by "lugging" the engine. With a stick gear box and low gearing this situation is easy to avoid. With an automatic and high gears, not so easy. So a lot of the design work we do is around the needs of automatics. Newer automatics with more gears and lock up converters let you get away with engine designs more like what you can do with a stick but an old TH350 and 2.73 rear gears quickly demands a low compression engine or a loose converter.
i agree with oldbogie, if you were going to use a 305 head then you used the right pair, 4416's, and as long as you are not planning on making 450-500hp they can be a very good set of heads for the street, their down low throttle response is very good and like mentioned by oldbogie with some port, bowl work and larger valves they handle a 350 till about 6000 rpm. the problem is that many people think that they can take any ole' 305 heads like the 434's and so on and do the same thing, this i would not recomend as they aren't as good of a flowing head as the 4416's and they dont take to machine work as well. you have to remember that the 4416's are the 305HO heads.
and just like oldbogie i have a very hard time beliving in the 190psi, you mentioned 150psi stock and it would have been more like 130psi from the factory. general rule of thumb is 150-160psi is the absolute max on steel heads for pump gas (93 octane) and 170-180psi is the max on alm heads for pump gas (93)
my pop's is runing a pair of "4416" 305 heads on his 350 flat top .60 over motor, with head gasket thickness of 0.41, here lately #6 plug is oil fauling, thinking the guide or the seal mayb gone lol, runs very well, needs 93 octan, but he refuses to run it, he is runing 89 octan now with the timing set @ 34 total, runing autolites 24's....
well the engine is not bored over or anything like that. but this is just a basic on the road around town/mudding truck. the noise does get complaints from the neighbours a lil ways down the road lol. but to hit the 6000 band thats when i stomp and the tires begin to roast then it will rev like mad. when i got good traction it will start losing on acceleration after 5500. i will post pics when i get the chance
i just got done helpn him,adjust the valves, yeah he has 18.104.22.168's and it will burn them off..76' custom deluxe 2 wheel long bed
hey i have a pair of 14101081 h.o heads stock on my stock 350 3970010 runs great on 87 haven't took it out yet tho also stuck with 305 h.o camshaft

Jennifer and Michael were married at Pebble Hill Plantation in Thomasville, Ga. on June 2. "We knew we wanted to get married outside and have a tented reception," Jennifer said. "Our location, Pebble Hill Plantation, had so many beautiful ceremony spots that, at first, it was hard to choose. During our tour of the plantation, I described wanting a 'secret garden' feeling. We stopped at an old tennis court covered in grass with beautiful ivy-clad brick walls. It fit perfectly with our vision." The bride wore a lace fit 'n' flare wedding gown with illusion straps, accessorized with an ivory sash, while the groom wore a khaki suit, accessorized with a solid tie. Bridesmaids wore long black chiffon dresses and carried bouquets of peonies, hydrangeas, and succulents. "We had an amazing moment before the ceremony," she said. "We had both finished getting ready and were just waiting for the ceremony, so Michael came to find me just as I was starting to get nervous. He walked up to a window with his back turned and his eyes closed. We just talked for a minute. I felt much better afterwards. Before he left, he gave me a kiss, and the next time I saw him, he was standing at the altar." Fun fact: the groom's father was the officiant! "It was nice to have him be such an important part of the ceremony," Jennifer said. "He immediately reminded us of the love from our family and friends that supported us." Following the nuptials, guests were escorted to their seats inside the pole tent. Tables were decorated with burlap linens, birdcage centerpieces, and Full Moon farm's famous honey jars at each place setting. Instead of a DJ, there was a bluegrass band! The newlyweds' best advice? "Many couples, often mostly the bride, have an exact vision of the things they want for their wedding day," she said. "They struggle to let go of details they've been dreaming over for years. I would say to couples planning their wedding that the most important thing to keep in mind is the reason behind the celebration, the love that you and your partner have for each other. If you keep this at the forefront of planning, it will help to relieve some of the stress you might feel when things aren't lining up exactly."

How to Apply
Anderson University's Federal School Code: 001785
Apply for Financial Aid by completing a FAFSA — Free Application for Federal Student Aid — each year between January 1 and March 1.
The FAFSA is used to determine eligibility for state and federal financial aid. To be considered for Indiana state grants your FAFSA must be received by March 10. You must file the FAFSA annually to be considered for financial aid each academic year. File the FAFSA electronically using the FAFSA on the Web Worksheet, which contains built-in edits to help prevent costly mistakes. For additional help with filling out the FAFSA visit 7 Easy Steps to the FAFSA, an online tutorial.
- Indiana Residents: The FAFSA must be received by the Federal Processing Center no later than midnight, Central Time, on March 10. The State of Indiana's Division of Student Financial Aid requires that all critical errors and missing information be resolved by May 15 of the upcoming academic year to be considered for Indiana state grant programs. Register for eStudent to monitor your eligibility for Indiana financial aid.
- Other-state Residents: You may file the FAFSA after March 1. Refer to the FAFSA Application (PDF) for your applicable state aid deadline. While most states do not allow for the transfer of state aid to out-of-state schools, it is best to keep your options open by meeting your state aid filing deadline.
Tips for completing a FAFSA
- FAFSA Tips for Military and Veterans
- FAFSA Tips for Students in Unique Situations
- FAFSA Tips for Undocumented Students
The FSA ID - a username and password - has replaced the Federal Student Aid PIN and must be used to log in to certain U.S. Department of Education websites. Your FSA ID confirms your identity when you access your financial aid information and electronically sign Federal Student Aid documents.
- If you already have a Federal Student Aid PIN you will be able to enter it and link it to your FSA ID.
- Apply for a FSA ID at fsaid.ed.gov/npas/index.htm.
- You and your custodial parent (if applicable) will need your own FSA ID allowing you both to sign the FAFSA electronically.
- Parents can use the same FSA ID to sign the FAFSA for multiple children from one year to the next.
- FSA IDs do not expire and can be used when filing for financial aid in future years.
- Your FSA ID serves as your electronic signature and provides access to your personal records, so never share your FSA ID with anyone.
You may submit your FAFSA prior to applying for admission to Anderson University. However, you must be admitted to a degree-seeking program that leads to an associate, baccalaureate, master's, or doctorate degree (or a teacher's certification program) before eligibility will be considered and to receive a financial aid award letter.
Identification Documents:
You will need the student's driver's license and both student and parent Social Security numbers. Use the student's name as it appears on the Social Security card. Non-U.S. citizens provide alien registration numbers or permanent residence numbers.
E-mail Address:
Provide a current, valid e-mail address — one that the U.S. Department of Education and Division of Student Financial Aid (SFA), can use to communicate important information about your FAFSA status. Promptly reply to any requests for additional information.
Tax Documents:
Students and parents should gather their W-2's and tax documents to complete the Financial Information section. You are strongly encouraged to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (part of FAFSA on the Web) to transfer your prior year federal tax information into the FAFSA.
Meet the Deadline:
If federal taxes cannot be completed prior to March 1, use your best estimate from W-2 forms or your most recent federal tax return. Indicate within the FAFSA that you "will file" taxes.
Selective Service:
Male students must register with Selective Service to be eligible for aid. Register one month before turning 18 years old or select "Register Me" while completing the FAFSA.
Sign the FAFSA:
Both student and parent electronically sign the FAFSA using their Federal Student Aid ID. We recommend printing the FAFSA confirmation page as proof of the date and time of your FAFSA submission. Keep this in your records.
College Goal Sunday:
Want personal help with completing your FAFSA? College Goal Sunday occurs each February to provide one-on-one FAFSA assistance at locations across the state. For dates and locations visit http://www.collegegoalsunday.org.
Award Notification:
Your eligibility for grants, scholarships, work-study, and loans for the upcoming fall and spring semesters will be mailed in the form of a financial aid award letter. The Office of Financial Aid sends this notification via U.S. mail to admitted students who have a FAFSA on file. The most common delays occur when the U.S. Department of Education requires AU to verify certain items on your FAFSA application. Please respond in a timely manner to our request for additional information to maintain financial aid eligibility and prevent delays.
Notify AU:
Contact the Office of Financial Aid at firstname.lastname@example.com of any outside or private scholarships, grants, or loans you plan to receive.

Abnormal genes cause polycystic kidney disease, and the genetic defects mean the disease runs in families. Rarely, a genetic mutation can be the cause of polycystic kidney disease.
There are two types of polycystic kidney disease, caused by different genetic flaws:
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Signs and symptoms of ADPKD often develop between the ages of 30 and 40. In the past, this type was called adult polycystic kidney disease, but children can develop the disorder.
Only one parent needs to have the disease in order for it to pass along to the children. If one parent has ADPKD, each child has a 50 percent chance of getting the disease. This form accounts for about 90 percent of cases of polycystic kidney disease.
Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD). This type is far less common than is ADPKD. The signs and symptoms often appear shortly after birth. Sometimes, symptoms don't appear until later in childhood or during adolescence.
Both parents must have abnormal genes to pass on this form of the disease. If both parents carry a gene for this disorder, each child has a 25 percent chance of getting the disease.
Researchers have identified two genes associated with ADPKD and one associated with ARPKD.
In some cases, a person with ADPKD has no known family history of the disease. However, it's possible that someone in the affected person's family actually did have the disease, but didn't show signs or symptoms before dying of other causes.
In a smaller percentage of cases where no family history is present, ADPKD results from a spontaneous gene mutation.

As i said before i am a newbie and need sme help.
first question-how do i attach my templates to my undersuit.
second question-how do i make my helmet?
any help would be great!
Hi scarecrow, crow62 here, on mandos the appropiate term is flight suit, the undersuit is used on clone troopers and some fem costumes;
Asumming you are planing to make a mandalorian like Jango, Bobba, etc. the templates are the printed paper pieces to draw the armor pieces on metal, plastic or other material choosed for you. The finished armor parts are attached to the vest and flight suit with velcro, elastic, etc.
About helmet you can do by your self using pepakura, aluminium or if you have the skills with fiberglass.
The mos used way is to buy your helmet on the sales section, there are many makers and sizes.
In the forum you will find many armors WIPs (Work In Progress), you will find many answers there, of course any other questions will be welcome.
thank you. i have the alluminum to do both the suit and the helmet. all i need to know is the easiest way to shape a helmet out. flight suit....gotta remember that.
this will help with your helmet build.....http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f23/r...mplates-41349/
call it what you like (undersuit, flightsuit, fatigues) we know what you meant. I strongly suggest you look up the WoF templates (those are the best set I have seen to date) and figure out which sizing fits you. He provided directions for printing to fit different frames. I highly suggest you avoid using elastic to attach your plates to anything, as, if you are trying to go "Merc Official" elastic is approved for very specific circumstances and under very strict guidlines. I recommend the button snap method or even the rivet method, both of which can be found here by a simple search through some of the WIP threads. If you find another way that works well... push it up to the rest of us! I don't recommend Velcro, for the simple fact that I had used velcro on my original build and it did not turn out well at all. The velcro held to the plates well but would seperate from the vest or simply not stay velcroed together. Good luck! Have fun! Keep us posted.
how about the leg armor? do you do the same with snaps too or is there a different method?
well to be honest I haven't attached the leg armor yet... something that's common is to wear elastic bands with slits in the suit so that the straps are worn under the suit and therefore not visible. Another common trick is to use tactical straps, i.e. hoslter/pouch straps to hold 'em on. I plan on being a little different, I plan on using some material that matches the suit to make something like short chaps that the leg plates will attach directly to... kinda like wearing an armored g-suit.

Bill Bennett is regarded by the Republican Party as among its leading intellectual leaders and talk shows continually inviting this man with limited intelligence to demonstrate his profound ideas. He was asked the other night about American foreign policy towards Iran and the mouth that so enjoys hearing the sound of his own words responded with among the most pertinent comments Republicans could ever utter. He condemned President Obama for failing to support the reform protestors in Iran and was asked exactly what could be done for them. Mr. Bennett, a former college professor and former Secretary of Education who continually decries the ineptitude of classroom teachers responded with these words of advice: Obama should send phone cards and Xerox machines to Iran to help reformers get the word out!!
Gee, Mr. Bennett, most American students lack your profundity. Could you please explain to them exactly how America can send Xerox machines and phone cards to Iran. OH, I got it. American planes will fly over Iran and drop Xerox machines in the streets of every community and then send phone cards.
If the Republican Party is reduced to this nut case as their intellectual leader we can expect no Republican to be elected president until 2050. Until then, all Republicans should be saving their Xerox machines and purchasing phone cards to send abroad to defeat terrorism.

How realistic should Baltimore fans be about seeing the playoffs return to Camden Yards this season? Do the defending World Series champion Giants have reason to be worried?
Entering Tuesday's games, nine major league teams were either 4-0, 3-0 or 3-1 and nine were either 0-4, 0-3 or 1-3.
Some of the starts could be considered surprises, including those of the Orioles (4-0), Royals (3-1), Pirates (3-1), Brewers (0-4), Giants (1-3) and Cardinals (1-3).
According to data provided by the Elias Sports Bureau, it appears you're far worse off in the Brewers', Giants' or Cardinals' position.
Since 1995, the beginning of the wild-card era, only two of the 25 teams (8%) that have started 0-4 have made the playoffs that year: the 1999 Diamondbacks (100-62) and 1995 Reds (85-59 during a season shortened by the 1994 strike). Seven of 51 teams (14%) began 0-3 and made the postseason, while 16 of 104 (15%) started 1-3 and got there.
On the other side, only 20 teams have started off 4-0 since 1995, and 12 of them (60%) have made the playoffs. Twenty-four of 54 (44%) reached the postseason after starting 3-0, while 43 of 113 (38%) did so after beginning 3-1. Incidentally, even 62 of the 187 teams (33%) that started out 2-1 got to the playoffs.
Of course, there's an obvious caveat here because we're three or four games into a 162-game season. Affirmation of how erroneous small sample sizes can be comes in the Rays' 0-3 record to start the season. The Rays lost 91 or more games the first 10 seasons of their existence, yet never began a year 0-3 before 2011.
At least in the Orioles' case, a different, larger sample size can be considered. Including their 4-0 start, the Orioles are 38-23 under new manager Buck Showalter, who took over in August.
According to The Washington Post's Dave Sheinin, over that same stretch, only the Phillies have a better record.
"So this isn't necessarily a four-day phenomenon," Sheinin writes.
However, history proves four-day phenomena can't be completely discounted.

- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut, finely chopped
- 2 cups finely crushed cornflakes
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- Oil for deep-fat frying
- Using a 1/2-cup ice cream scoop, place eight scoops of ice cream on a baking sheet. Cover and freeze for 2 hours or until firm. In a bowl, combine whipping cream and vanilla. In another bowl, combine coconut, cornflakes and cinnamon.
- Remove scoops of ice cream from freezer; wearing plastic gloves, shape the ice cream into balls. Dip balls into cream mixture, then roll in coconut mixture, making sure to coat entire surface. Place coated balls on a baking sheet. Cover and freeze at least 3 hours or until firm.
- For caramel sauce, heat sugar in a heavy saucepan over medium heat until partially melted and golden, stirring occasionally. Add butter. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly. Cook and stir for 8 minutes or until sauce is thick and golden; keep warm.
- Heat oil in an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer to 375°. Fry ice cream balls until golden, about 30 seconds. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with caramel sauce. Yield: 8 servings.

edit: waaaait a minute. something really IS going on around here. what gives, woot?
you got caught in a woot word edit... that turned into a brand new version of "who's on first".
Too funny
It's definitely gonna beat "Steaming Mad" for worse sales of the year award!!!! I've NEVER seen a worse shirt on woot since I've been a member. Absolutely TERRIBLE!!!! You should be ashamed!!!!
amnewsboy wrote:That does not look like tea (Earl Grey, hot) that Picard is drinking.
THAT would have been an excellent touch
tdawg1914 wrote:Haha, TNG fans are will freak out over this one! (including me)
For those wondering where the "four aces" thing comes from... it's a classic Next Generation episode. Picard is captured and tortured. His interrogator tries to break him, starting with getting Picard to say he sees five lights, when the are only four right in front of him.
Culminates in this scene:
I love Star Trek TNG and I remember that episode. I'm really mixed with the shirt. I love the idea, but there are elements in the design's execution that I'm not a huge fan of. In particular, I'm not liking how the artist drew Picard.
Merry Christmas, geeky friends!
This feels like it should work on paper, but it's so many inside jokes it just feels full of buttafuoco. sorry but no.
aoviss wrote:Besides infringement, I dont get it.
Its a trap, yes. "Noooo" is not a meme.
Facepalm, yeah. Aces? Do I need to be a picard/trek fan to "get it"?
Are you serious? I think that you need to come into the year 2010 and get on YouTube like everyone else before you put these posts up.
This shirt is hilarious! In for 1!
nyyankeeez wrote:It's definitely gonna beat "Steaming Mad" for worse sales of the year award!!!! I've NEVER seen a worse shirt on woot since I've been a member. Absolutely TERRIBLE!!!! You should be ashamed!!!!

First time in awhile I knew immediately I needed a Woot shirt as soon as I saw it and it printed. I so called it but it seemed the obvious winner.
skippykj wrote:I don't see it being possible for this to not win 1st. Unless maybe you finsh the sad Keanu
I still would like sad Keanu if you post it somewhere else.
Congrats, Stardamsel!
Can someone explain what tune, if any, i should be hearing in my head when i read the write up?
smolket wrote:Completely Amoeba Sized Inside Joke or not....when does anyone playing poker ever say "there are four aces".....?
Could have been a classic shirt, but the horrible wording makes it a no buy.....
That's why Riker's doing a facepalm. He's embarrassed at Picard's groaner. I almost want to get the shirt because of that.
Debated on this in the derby, couldn't decide if I wanted or not. The last 'It's A Trap!' I did the same thing, and ultimately passed on, which I regretted. I like the last one better, but I DO want a 'It's A Trap!' shirt.... will decide in the morning. If sold out(probably will), hopefully Woot will ease off the Star Wars ban and another one will be made... considering how these geek types sell out, I assume that's probable.
rocketjohn wrote:Can someone explain what tune, if any, i should be hearing in my head when i read the write up?
It's on the top of the write up
woot wrote:Ooooh myyyyyy…
I'm just so happy the blog was a parody of OAR's "Crazy Game of Poker". I love that song.
woot, you messed up. he knows the meaning of "there are four aces", he's just saying that no one would ever say that. which is true.
marajad3 wrote:If it really is a trap do I really want to wander around while wearing a red shirt?
It's only an issue if you're an ensign, so unless you are, you'll be fine.
I want to wear this, but I won't be able to live it down with my buddies who think the Enterprise could beat a Star Destroyer. (Which it can't...)
I always thought celebrity likeness was a no-no here. Maybe since its is meme inspired that rule doesn't apply... ?
Anyhoo, congrats on the print! Not my cup of tea, but this one definitely made me laugh and I don't even know the memes that were involved to create this. A joke for everyone
It turns out if you just keeping adding celebrity likenesses and do away with parody, you reach a point where it's all fine.
Tomorrow, the cover of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band!
Okay, I'm a bit bemused this didn't spook the lawyers but all power to you stardamsel. I was rooting for you, congrats on the win! :^)
is Darth Vader wearing Air Jordan's ?
It would be so much better if Vader were saying "".
Stunning lyrics, can I get those printed on the back of the shirt?
Great...meme derby shirts. See everybody in three days.
Pretty good implementation of the theme of the contest, but I still can't help but think this was a bad idea for a derby.
Though, I might mention that I have the Clockmaker tee, and I kinda like cranberry as a tee color.
Great shirt!
I think I would regain my virginity if I wore it though.
Over 10 years ago, in high school, I was in a programming class. The teacher asked my friend a question that he did not know the answer to so he replies, "There are four lights."
My teacher was confused, shook his head and went on to do something else.
It was quite hypnotic.
This is a buy.
thought this was another White Stripes album cover for a second
Haters gonna hate!
In for 3!
There are 4 lights (aces) reference ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_eSwq1ewsU#t=03m16s
Love it & ordered 2. I try to hold out for the nerdy ones. I'm surprised it wasn't soldout! already.
petepete16 wrote:I only see two memes,
It's a trap. Duh.
Where os the third one? And don't tell me its dogs playing poker because that a hit hit the public pre-Internet, bitches.
I was a freshman at Ohio State in 1997!!
This is funny because I was a freshman, at OSU, in 1997. And they would not stop playing that damn song.
Kindof a stupid shirt though.
Love the shirt!
Also, until this morning I'd never heard O.A.R. Pretty sure I'd heard of them, but had no idea what they were like, and just assumed they were rap or hip-hop. (Yes, I'm an out-of-touch fogey nearing middle-age. Damn I miss my college days!)
I've got the linked video playing in the background, and I like the sound. Thanks for enlightening me Woot!
As the artwork suggests, definitely would have bet my money on this one to take 1st place, so full of win.
Great job, damsel!
bhcompy wrote:Is this the episode where they go in to a time-loop playing poker and DataVader has to send a message to himself through the time vortex to alert the crew that they're in a time loop?
It's Next Generation, so the worst is you'll get hurt, but you won't die.

This was my first encounter with the noooo meme back when it was on ytmnd, by far the best!
I just tried to look at http://darthno.ytmnd.com/ and got this message:
Based on your corporate access policies, access to this web site ( http://darthno.ytmnd.com/ ) has been blocked because the web category "Criminal Activity" is not allowed.
This is easily the best write-up ever.
This is great, and I'm familiar with all four memes in it, and I really like both Star Wars and Star Trek but... I dunno, It's kind of way too busy... I don't want people staring at my shirt for 30 seconds trying to figure it out.
"Noooo" is not a meme? Clearly, you are not attune to that subculture.

Good morning world! Today I am joining some lovely ladies in the Me, Myself, and I link party! What a fabulous way to get to know each other.
I have quite an obsession with mustaches! Just thought I'd share.
Here are this months questions. Enjoy!
1. What is your biggest phobia?
My biggest phobia is definitely spiders, yuck! Ughhh I despise there existence. I know that is pretty harsh but they just skeeve me out beyond belief. When I was little, my mom went to kill a spider by my bed and totally missed. The spider fell behind my bed soooo I wouldn't sleep in my bed for 3 months, talk about extreme! Oh and this crazy girl over here tried running a huge spider over in the driveway once with her car, yea totally didn't work. That damn spider was waiting for me at my front door when I got home from work that night. Literally right where the handle is to open the door. Dad came to the rescue and got that sucker because otherwise I would have been outside for quite awhile! It's so bad that I couldn't even bring myself to purchase this gorgeous necklace, which I am beyond obsessed with, solely because there are spiders on the charms. Just looking at it makes me cringe. But I really want it, sigh!
2. If you could relive any day of your life, what would it be and why?
If I could relive any day it would be the day I heard my baby boys heartbeat for the first time. I was filled with so many emotions that first doctors visit that it all seems like a blur. I've now heard that little heartbeat monthly and it gets me every time. Soon enough I'll be holding my little man in my arms.
3. If you could choose to stay a certain age forever, what age would it be?
Hmmm, this is a tough one. I would have to say 19. Your probably saying to yourself why? I was 19 during my sophomore year of college and it was one amazing year. I met my first love and many lifelong friends that year. I was young, crazy and carefree. Oh how I miss those days sometimes.
4. Which celebrity do you get mistaken for?
I really don't get mistaken for any particular celebrity. Since I started my blog, I have been told a few times I look like Kylie Minogue. I don't see it at all! When I was in grammar school I was constantly told by my classmates that I looked like Stephanie Tanner (Jodie Sweetin).
5. What songs are included on the soundtrack to your life?
Jennifer Lopez - Waiting for Tonight
3 Doors Down - Kryptonite
Carrie Underwood - Before He Cheats
Something Corporate - Konstantine
Miley Cyrus - See You Again
The Gaslight Anthem - The Queen of Lower Chelsea
Miranda Lambert - The House That Built Me
All songs that represent big moments and different phases of my life!
There you have it. Just a few more bits and pieces about me!

Each of these women talks about how she got to where she is today, and attests to the importance of Native culture - its values, art, and spiritual beliefs - in helping her to develop a sense of self and seeing through rough times.

Pancreatic cancer is well known as one of the most malicious types of cancers. Seventy-five percent of people lose their battle with pancreatic cancer within a year of diagnosis and only 5 percent survive beyond five years.
"There is opportunity for nanotechnology to have an impact," said Dr. Hruban as he highlighted the many challenges in improving detection and treatment of pancreatic cancers during his talk at the annual Nano-Bio Symposium hosted by Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology on May 4.
Pathologists have been able to determine many histological changes in cancerous pancreatic ducts and also many of the related genetic changes. The challenge is to translate these discoveries in pathology into novel diagnostic tools.
"Early detection is the best hope in fighting cancer," said Hruban. Nanotechnology could allow for visualization of genetic changes and changes in protein expression in pancreatic lesions which would help in earlier detection.
Treatment of these pancreatic lesions could be better handled with more robust imaging and staining techniques. Thousands of CAT scans are taken at Johns Hopkins hospital every year and doctors began screening all of these CAT scans performed at the hospital to identify pancreatic cysts.
Even with the cysts identified, there is no way to tell if the cyst is benign or malignant without surgery. Hruban gave as an example a female patient that was pregnant who was identified with a pancreatic cyst that turned out to be benign. For months after, the patient had a variety of health problems due to the surgery.
Hruban gave an old folk rhyme about coral snakes as an analogy, "Red on yellow, kill a fellow. Red on black, friend of Jack." Nanotechnology could provide a means of visualizing which cysts are harmful and prevent patients from having unnecessary surgeries.
