Deep Ecology and Ultimate Premises
by Arne Naess
Arne Naess replies to Grover Foley and Henryk Skolimowski, whose articles, he argues, reveal uimportant misunderstandings which slur over the broad agreement between the authors and myself" For Naess, Deep Ecology is not a rigid dogma, but rather a 'platform that draws together supporters from disparate backgrounds and gives them a base
from which to reassess humanity1 s relationship with Nature.
The values that supporters of the Deep Ecology movement share in common cannot necessarily be formulated in terms of a single set of propositions or expressed in a single language. They are the product of a dynamic social movement and cannot therefore be pinned down as i f they belonged to a painstakingly formulated philosophy of the relationship between man and nature, or as i f they formed a coherent body of doctrine. Deep Ecologists do not have a discrete philosophy or religion in common — a definite credo, a set of ultimate 'norms and hypotheses' — and why should they? When those representatives of different denominations and religions , who are also supporters of the Deep Ecology movement, come together at Assisi, for example, should they have to agree to do mutual missionary work? Why Gleichschaltungl Why monolithic ideologies? We have had enough of those in both European and world history.
Supporters of Deep Ecology aim to conserve what is left of the richness and diversity of life on Earth — and that includes human cultural diversity. Representing highly different religions and philosophies, Deep Ecologists articulate themselves using the ultimate premises on which their diverse holy texts or philosophical traditions are based. Their ecological views are conclusions based on those premises (but not, of course, only on those premises).
The present crisis in the relationship between man and nature has revealed a surprising amount in common between the different supporters of Deep Ecology. The Arne Naess is one of Norway's most eminent philosophers and the founding father of the Deep Ecology movement.
so-called 'environmental' policies which they oppose are approximately the same. Their critique of dominant trends in rich industrial societies is much the same. Similarly, their regret for the lack of broadness, depth, and long-term perspectives in the deliberations of policy makers. There is thus enough in common, perhaps even enough to elaborate a set of principles — a 'platform' — for Deep Ecology, as George Sessions and I have attempted (see Box, page 130).1 The principles we elaborate are discussed below.
Deep Ecologists or Mystics?
Grover Foley (page 119) seems to have a strong impression that such a platform would embrace mysticism — "The self and ultimate reality are one, as Zen and other mystic traditions claim: 'That thou art; or thou art That. '"But a firm supporter of Deep Ecology might not feel at home with any of the famous epithets of the great traditions of philosophical and religious mysticism. I doubt, for instance, whether F. Golley, or M . Soule, or I , would.2
A representative of the harassed, nomadic Sami people of Arctic Norway was arrested and asked by the police why he insisted on remaining by a river that was to be dammed. He answered: "I t is part of myself." He certainly did not say that the geographically defined flowing water was part of his Ego. Nor did he quote any Buddhist texts. Social psychologists may interpret his statement within the framework of the idea of the 'social self, as brilliantly put forward by William James. But there are other possibilities. Personally, I work with the concept of 'Self-
realisation', as expressed in my so-called 'Ecosophy T' , inspired by, but not conforming to, Gandhi's interpretation of the Bhagavadgita? But, of course, I am not in any way a Hindu, and I respect the Buddhist anatmavada as a reaction against Hindu atman-absolutism. None of us are mystics.
When Gary Snyder, a firm supporter of the Deep Ecology movement, writes, as a Buddhist, that "The universe and all creatures in it are intrinsically in a state of complete wisdom, love and compassion,"4
do I have to ask what he means? Of course not, and he does not ask what I mean when I write in a language inspired by Spinoza that "The more you understand particular beings the more you understand God or Nature."5 Incidentally, such a proposition is incompatible with some views within the traditions of mysticism.
Grover Foley writes that "Life has no separate selves . . .", in order to express what he sees as a tenet of Deep Ecology. Supposing that we take the term 'separate' in a special sense, I think some supporters of Deep Ecology would support the statement. Personally, I find Foley's statement, "Fundamentally, all life is one" — not palatable to Sir Alfred Ayer—significant, but what it means to me may also be expressed as follows: "There is something of overwhelming dignity and importance common to each living being which secures its intrinsic value."
In short, I hope somehow to save both the wholes and the successive complexity which culminates in a supreme whole, and each individual. No philosophy or religion has, in my view, accomplished this in an articulated way that is not open to serious counter-argument. Supporters of Deep
TheEcologist, Vol. 18, Nos.4/5,1988 Ecology cannot expect to feel at home with ultimate views. The expectation involves, strictly speaking, a contradiction.
Deep Ecology and Nuclear War
Every year, the European nuclear disarmament movement must fight off attempts to widen i t by making unilateral disarmament only part of its platform, and so far, I am glad to say, the fight has been successful. This I say inspite of being very favourable myself to unilateral disarmament.6
Similarly, i t is important that any platform of Deep Ecology should not pretend that it can provide a solution to every great contemporary problem. In 1975, peace movements and ecology movements were not interacting strongly. Today, there is lively communication between them. Wars and preparations for modern wars are ecological disasters. I do not think it accurate today, therefore, to say, as Grover Foley says, that "Deep Ecology ignores nuclear war." And I do not think that war should be mentioned in a 200-word formulation of a platform for the movement.
Deep Ecology and Ultimate Premises
Skolimowski argues that too many Ecophilosophies "have been too hurriedly subsumed under the umbrella of Deep Ecology." This would be a valid criticism i f the various philosophies were in competition with each other and were claiming to be the only 'correct' Deep Ecological position. But they are not. To take an analogy: there are many mother languages in the world — but none is more 'correct' than any other. In spite of this, groups with different mother tongues may agree in important ways. What supporters of the Deep Ecology movement have (more or less) in common at a fairly general and abstract level, must not be sought at the level of ultimate premises of a given philosophy, or, more succinctly, at the level of the 'total view', but rather at a secondary level, where their is agreement on the relationship between man and nature.
Nonetheless, a characteristic of the supporters of Deep Ecology is their involvement at every level, not only at that of ultimate premises, but also at the level of action and decision-making. In the 'shallow' movement, reference to ultimate foundations are rare and mostly shunned. Instead the arguments are mainly 'practi-

cal', 'tough', 'pragmatic', and 'objective'. By contrast, the Deep Ecology movement has an intensely emotional component. As Charlene Spretnak puts it:
"Deep Ecologists write that the well-being and flourishing human and non-human life on Earth has value in itself and that humans have no right to reduce the richness and diversity of life forms except to satisfy vital human needs. Ecofeminists agree, but wonder how much one' s concept of' vital needs' is shaped by the values of patriarchal culture. Finally, some philosophical ecologists favour abstract schemes such as 'ecological process analysis' to explain the natural world. But eco-feminists find such approaches alone to be sterile and inadequate, a veiled attempt, yet again, to distance oneself from wonder and awe, from the emotional involvement and caring that the natural world calls forth."7
Some may undertake process analysis without losing their emotional engagement, others may not. More than 2,500 years of literature and poetry have expressed wonder and awe in a direct way that eco-philosophy or a Deep Ecology platform cannot, and may be should not, try to imitate.
Agreeing to Differ
Henryk Skolimowski writes in his book Eco-Philosophy that "Values unrelated to ultimate ends of human life ring hollow". I wholeheartedly subscribe to this view, and presume that supporters of Deep Ecology have such ends in view. But I do not need a concept of Deep Ecology such that a definite set of ends are prescribed as part of a Deep Ecology platform. Henryk Skolimowski seems to me to regret that the term 'Deep Ecology' has not been attached to evolutionary, philosophical and theological views which I would regard as part of the ultimate premises (or Level 1) of a given philosophy.
Indeed, I think it would serve Skolimowski best to leave the concepts of Deep Ecology as they are, and then advocate his ideas about the ultimate ends of life as ideas which transcend the views that supporters of the Deep Ecology movement have in common. Skolimoswki writes:
"Any large-scale movement which
attempts to replace empiricism must find an antidote to the gospel of material progress, must be capable of creating a new foundation for meaning. When we look deeper into the question, we realize that unless deeper questions of human destiny are considered and answered, our quest for meaning cannot be truly satisfied." I admit that questions of human destiny are deep and that eschatological questions — by definition — are the deepest, in the sense of 'the last and ultimate'. But the function of Deep Ecology is more modest — for instance, keeping together, within a limited frame of reference, a community in desperate conflict with gigantic forces. Every member of the community may not have the same answers to questions of human destiny.
Before proposing a tentative platform for Deep Ecology, let me touch upon the issue of philosophical pluralism — or pluralism of Welt und Lebensanschauung, to use the German expression. It would, in my view, be a cultural disaster for mankind i f one philosophy or one religion were to become established on earth. It would be a disaster i f future Green societies were so similar that they blocked the development of deep cultural differences.
Insofar as supporters of Deep Ecology agree on this, they take care not only to find points of agreement but also to accept those differences which are inevitable i f the richness and diversity of life on earth is to flourish.
A Platform for Deep Ecology As mentioned above, George Sessions and I have formulated what we refer to as "the special platform of the Deep Ecology Movement." Inevitably, this platform (see Box, page 130) needs a number of comments. Its main object is to draw attention to the broad measure of agreement today among groups all over the world on a wide range of issues. The knowledge of such agreement encourages people and groups who work locally, often surrounded by a majority who are passive or lukewarm to the issues. Such local groups and individuals should know that they have friends all over the world, who have strong basic feelings in common, who use closely similar metaphors to express their views, and who adhere to the principles of non-violence even during severe confrontations.
Of the eight points we outline, (1), (2) and (6) hang together closely. I f conservation efforts are to aim not only at avoiding further extinction of species (a colossal

Commercial disposers provide a convenient way to deal with food waste while improving sanitation in the kitchen and around outside trash containers. These units help reduce dumpster garbage odors, which can attract insects and vermin and compromise sanitation efforts. Disposers also help lower garbage hauling costs by decreasing the amount of overall waste a foodservice operator dumps.
Foodservice operators often purchase disposers as a package that includes the control, sink or sink mount for existing sinks, stopper, water inlet hardware, back flow preventer, solenoid valve and flow control.
In general, foodservice operators install disposers on soiled dish tables, pot/pan sinks and in vegetable, salad and meat prep areas. While a commercial disposer can grind most items, manufacturers recommend using these units to process edible food waste only. Non-edible food remnants, such as corn husks and seafood shells, typically cause drain clogs.
Although the basic disposer design remains similar from years past, operators can choose from a variety of types and sizes. These systems also offer a choice in voltage, mounting and controls. Controls range from a manual basic start/stop operation to electronic versions that reduce water and energy use and automatically reverse the cutting teeth to maximize the service life. A few energy-saving models have the ability to determine when water is necessary and can turn the system off if the operator is not present.
Construction materials vary between manufacturers, but most disposers have an easy-to-clean, corrosion-resistant finish. Disposer housing construction options include aluminum, stainless steel and cast iron, which can be either coated or plated.
Also, disposers feature different types of cutting mechanisms made from rust-resistant nickel, stainless steel or
austempered heavy ductile iron. Disposers with rotor-fixed cutting teeth represent the most common units on the market, though operators can specify units with swivel cutting teeth or a hammer mill grinder. All three types include a cutter operating at high speed inside a stationary shredder ring.
Voltage options include 115, 208, 230 and 460, with single and triple phase units available. Foodservice operators can choose from either a standard electrical wall switch or electronic controls.
It's important to note the disposal of any effluent into municipal waste water systems is typically governed under municipal by-laws/ordinances and enforced at the local level or through a regional municipal authority, in accordance with state and federal environmental legislation. These municipal ordinances set out allowable limits of various materials and chemicals that can be present in effluent that is being disposed of into the municipal waste water system, and that ultimately need to be processed and treated at the waste water treatment plant.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — The Canisius women's basketball team saw its season come to an end in the quarterfinals of the 2014 MAAC Championship as the No. 5 seed Golden Griffins lost 72-61 to the No. 4 seed Quinnipiac Bobcats in the MassMutual Center on Friday afternoon.
Junior Kayla Hoohuli led Canisius with a career-high 23 points, matching the highest scoring output by a Golden Griffin this season. Hoohuli scored 16 of her 23 points in the second half. Senior Jen Morabito scored eight points as 10 Canisius players found the scorebook.
"When we struggle on the offensive end, it affects our defensive intensity and we get back on our heels. That has been our Achilles' heel all season," Canisius coach Terry Zeh said. "It's a bitter feeling right now but we had a really strong end to the regular season when our backs were against the wall. I think we're starting to turn the corner with our program.
"We are losing some good players in this class and especially losing some great people from our program as they graduate and head off into the world."
Quinnipiac (20-11) held Canisius to two baskets during the first 11 and a half minutes of the game, building a 27-7 lead with 8:27 remaining in the first half. The Bobcats attacked the Griffs inside, scoring their first eight points and 26 points in the paint in the first half. Canisius made two of their first 16 shots as the Griffs couldn't get anything going on the offensive end. After a layup from junior Kayla Hoohuli made it 29-13 with 6:43 left, the Bobcats scored the next nine points and took a 44-21 lead into the locker room.
Canisius (13-17) used a 15-2 run to get the deficit to 63-49 with 6:34 left after two free throws from Morabito. The deficit proved to be too big as the Griffs weren't able to get enough defensive stops as Canisius could never get the margin into single digits in the second half.
Four Quinnipiac players reached in double digits, led by Camryn Warner who had 17 points in 23 minutes off the bench. The Bobcats shot 48.1 percent on the day and 57.6 percent in the first half.
Notes: Canisius was the No. 5 seed in the MAAC Championship for the first time the 2003 season... Quinnipiac defeated Canisius in all three meetings this season... Senior Jen Lennox finished her career with 103 blocks, good for fourth in program history... Senior Jamie Ruttle finished her career in fifth place with 120 games played and third place with 107 starts... Morabito finished her career with 198 3-pointers (fourth all-time) and at 36.5 percent from behind the arc (third all-time).

Anastasia Prikhodko ran into a storm of protest over remarks she appeared to have made on the Internet. She won the right to represent Russia last Saturday by submitting a song that has a chorus in Ukrainian. The Internet video shows her on a show in 2007 where she said: "I don't like black people, Chinese people," and when asked why she was performing on a show whose producer was Georgian, the nice young Russian lady responded: "A Georgian isn't racism, my dear, they are white and those people are black." Kornelia Mango who was on the same show said that Prikhodko "often" made racist remarks.
Reporters have uncovered pictures of her brother as a member of ultra nationalist groups. In defense for these remarks, the young lady wanted the world to know that her best friend if Jewish and her grandfather helped to liberate Berlin in WWII. Oh well, given that her "best friend" is Jewish, all she has to do is get a best friend who is black or Chinese or any one of those "other" type of people.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
The tungsten itself becomes oxidized after putting down a certain amount of weld beads. You'll notice the tungsten becoming light grey or off white. This means it's time to change the tungsten. The strength of the arc will deminish from the oxidation on the tungsten tip. Allowing the tungsten to stick out too far or removing the tungsten from the completed weld before post purge cooling of the weld will decrease the effectiveness of the tungsten which will have to be reground and balled up using DC-Positive as mentioned on my previous post.
The oxidation on the aluminum requires alot more heat than the aluminum itself because aluminum oxide on the surface melts at 3,700 F while the base material melts at around 1,200 F so that is why it is critical to remove the oxidation before welding. Also degreasers work best to prepare the weld, but make sure the degreaser doesn't contain hydrocarbons. Cleaning aluminum can be done simply with soap and water. I've done this many times with great success. Etching soultion is also an option for cleaning the material. Before beginning to weld use a stainless steel brush and brush ONLY in one direction. DO NOT brush heavly on the area to be welded or you could add contaminates to the weld.
And again I'd like to remind that a GAS LENS is critical for the cleanist welds possible regardless of the material being welded. The standard is a collet body but the gas lens body consists of a series of coarse and fine screens inside the collet body which gives better shielding of argon on the weld and provides optimum laminar gas flow to allow your welds to look their best. The gas lens also allows the tungsten to be extended out further for improved weld joint access.
I found the hardest part of aluminum welding was to keep everything CLEAN,CLEAN,CLEAN.
I clean the weld area with MEK or acetone to remove any oils and finger prints,then use a stainless steel brush or stainless steel wool to remove oxidation JUST BEFORE welding and then use the stainless steel wool to clean the filler rod to remove any oxidation from the rod. Aluminum can oxidize in MINUTES so clean just before welding. Most sanding disks and grinder wheels have resins that bond the abrasive together and will contaminate the weld area so avoid grinding the area clean. Carbon steel wire brushes and steel wool will contaminate the weld also.I always break off the contaminated tungsten but one of my teachers told me grinding the tungsten was OK! GO figure?
I use a 30 year old miller 250E-HF with no special controls like the new electronic ones have and once get it set to the amperage I want and everything CLEANED, welding Aluminum isn't really any harder than steel .
And remember the old welder's trick to pretty welds: go over any ugly welds with the torch and run a" line of fusion" to smoothen out the weld area to make it more appealing looking

|Always make your ball by stiking your arc on a piece of copper, a penny works in a pinch. Only use silicon carbide wheels to grind the tip shape, aluminum oxide wheels contaminate the tip.
It's been awhile since I welded aluminum but if I remember correctly I would stick the whole tungsten out about 1/2" and switch the polarity to DC-positive and hold the torch vertical over a half inch thick piece of copper or bronze. And slowly ramp up the amps creating the ball on the end of the tungsten. You then have to slowly ramp down to prevent a crater or hole from forming on the tungsten ball, otherwise your arc will sometimes go directions you didn't want it to. Don't forget to switch back to AC.
I dont recommend grinding tungsten that has been dipped into the weld puddle. Instead hold the tungsten off the edge of a steel table at a slight angle and use a bronze hammer or whatever you got and break the contaminated tip off. An instructor from Miller taught me these things. If you do want to grind the tungsten use a grinding wheel that is only intended for aluminum. Use a separte wheel for other metals.
Use the largest gas lens you can find. It has wire mesh inside that allows the gas to flow better over the weld and also use Argon + Hydrogen for cleaner welds.
Also the key to good uniform welds is being relaxed. Resting your arm on a some thing that is propped up to keep your hand steady. This goes for your other hand that has the welding rod too.
Make sure your aluminum is preheated enough before starting the weld puddle. If you don't you get booger welds. Watch the joining aluminum pieces become wet looking and then apply some rod to form a puddle. Add the rod every second or two depending on your speed. And also remember to breathe. I use to hold my breath when I first began welding.
Adjust the tungsten so it is sticking about 1/8"- 3/16". When I was welding aluminum housings I would pull the tungsten out further and notice alittle more penetration of the welds.
Tig'n Aluminum
Zonk, here's a couple more cents worth from a non-expert. I use the shortest electrode extention that I can get a stable arc with. The shorter the better since it helps to keep contamination away.
Also depending on how tight the joint access is, I will play around with different nozzel diameters. I like to use a small diameter tungsten and nozzel on thin materials.
I don't do much aluminum so when I do I spend more time practicing on scrap before I get to the objective...lol.
Good luck
|Out about a 1/8 inch did have some trouble with arc , might have found a small answer
|Depends on the angle of the torch tip. I stick mine out 1/4". The tighter the tip to the cone, the harder to see what your welding. Harder to strike the arc, too. Could you even stike an arc, if it were inside the cone? You'd really have to "pedal it" to get a high enough arc.
|I can't remember this, does the tungsten sticking out of nozzle or not have any effect?
Balling the end is correct, just make sure when grinding tungsten ANYTIME, not to use a contaminated wheel.
Welding up mild steel- sticking the tungsten- you stop and grind it so contamination doesn't effect the weld. Now,you weld for a while, an decide to ball the end for aluminum. If there was contam in the ground tungsten, it will still be present when you ball it. See what I mean. You need a separate wheel. My TIG instructor was a fanatic about it. You should see the way he "stacks coins." Try the smaller rod with the ball.
Another thing for nice welds- Be in a comfortable position,too. Vertical position welding doesn't look as good as horizontal.
|Jeff, have taken some short classes on tig, understand aluminum can be a pain,be carefull of contamination, was told on the tungsten to ( ball the end) strike an arc with tip and let produce a small ball the diameter of tungsten, when tig steel to have a pointed end on tungsten. Perhaps I should've tried smaller tungsten. Do appreciate the help. I don't tig to often,however I do think its kind of fun to try.
When you grind your tungsten, be sure to use the wheel ONLY for tungsten. Otherwise you'll get a porous weld, and it will have all sorts of black in it. You may want to use a smaller tungsten, too. Radiator tanks are awefully thin.
Tig Welding Aluminum
If someone is good at tig welding aluminum need some tips:
Tig welding some mounting brackets to my aluminum radiator, welder set on ac, remotes on, high frequency switch down, amps 90, ac balance set at 3, 1/8 in pure tungsten (green tip) with balled end, cleaned everything real good and used a clean stainless brush. My question how to get those nice tight uniform welds ( be sides practice.) Welding 1 in aluminum angle to side panels fortunately most is hidden, nothing bad just wide welds not to pretty but they'll hold. Does having the tungsten in or out of nozzle have any effect? Any tips I would appreciate at least to go back and practice.

Senior Christian Segar was named the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Player of the Week while freshman Alex Godzak was named the MAAC Rookie of the Week on Monday.
Segar hit .643 (9-for-14) with five runs scored, five RBI and five steals, leading Canisius in all four categories as the Golden Griffins posted four wins last week. The senior outfielder recorded four multi-hit games in his four starts and also posted at least one run scored, one hit and one RBI in each of the four contests. Segar reached base in 13 of his 19 plate appearances, scored the game-tying run in a mid-week win over Buffalo and game-winning run in the series opener at Iona.
Godzak threw seven no-hit innings as part of the first Division I, nine-inning no-hitter in program history in an 8-0 win over Iona College on Friday afternoon. Godzak overcame walks to the second and third batters of the game before retiring the next 20 batters he faced as the Syracuse, N.Y. native also struck out six in his seven innings of work. The 5-foot-9 lefty combined with sophomore Rohn Pierce and junior Jon Fitzsimmons to no-hit the Gaels, the first no-hitter by Canisius since 1993.
Canisius has had a league-best six players earn weekly awards from the conference office this season, twice as many as any other school in the MAAC. The six players have claimed a total of seven awards, including three Player of the Week, one Pitcher of the Week and three Rookie of the Week awards.
Canisius returns to the field for a doubleheader at Cornell University on Wednesday. First pitch in Ithaca, N.Y. is set for 2 p.m.

4 example to Iterate over HashMap, Hashtable or any Map in Java

Good Examples of iterating hashmap. I think java 5 way of looping hashmap using new for loop is best in terms of cleanliness and readability but Iterator provides in own advantage. as you can remove elements while looping or iterating over hashmap.

How to loop through map - use forloop or enhanced for loop.
How to iterate through map - use Iterator

In order to loop HashMap in JSTL you need to include JSTL core library (tag library) and taglib on JSP page.

Performance wise best approach:
If you're only interested in the keys, you can iterate through the keySet() of the map:
Map map = ...;
for (String key : map.keySet()) {
// ...
If you only need the values, use values():
for (Object value : map.values()) {
// ...
Finally, if you want both the key and value, use entrySet():
for (Map.Entry entry : map.entrySet()) {
String key = entry.getKey();
Object value = entry.getValue();
// ...
If you want to remove items mid-iteration, you'll need to do so via an Iterator.

- Gorbachau said...
I think using Entry Set along with For loop for traversing Map is the fastest way to iterate. Anyone has, any data to proof this, I just heard and wondering if that is correct or not.
- April 1, 2013 at 10:36 PM

Another way is :
Map map = new HashMap();
map.put("1", "2");
for (Iterator itr=map.keySet().iterator();itr.hasNext();){
String next = itr.next();

Object[] keyObjectArray = (Object[])map.keySet().toArray();
for(Object key : keyObjectArray){
System.out.println( "Key :"+key+" Value : "+map.get(key));

Hello Sir, Which one is the best way to iterate over HashMap? I personally think foreach loop using with entry set, what is your opinion?
- July 1, 2013 at 3:23 AM
- timhoustontx said...
it's not really 4 ways, just 2. the for loops are using iterators, too.

Using streams (Java 8) it might look like this (with a simpler print):
HashMap loans = new HashMap();
loans.put("home loan", "citibank");
loans.put("personal loan", "Wells Fargo");
loans.keySet().stream().forEach(key ->
System.out.println("key: " + key + " value: " + loans.get(key)));
- October 6, 2014 at 4:47 AM
- Javin Paul said...
Indeed @Knut, Java 8 makes iterating over Map or List really a one liner, no boiler plate due to imperative nature of Java language any more.
- October 6, 2014 at 5:36 AM
- Ralf Hergert said...
Using foreach on Map.Entry can be written shortly as:
for (Map.Entry entry : entrySet) { /* perform something with the entry*/ }
Using this notation the typing for entry (in this case ) is still intact. Which may not bother for the sake of this tutorial, but turns out to be important, when more complex types are about to be processed.

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > CID Speaker Series: Grading Latin American Presidents
CID's Speaker Series this fall has focused on the practice of
development. This week we turn to research regarding Latin
America. Please join Juan José Cruces,
Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, Central Bank of Chile for this talk. Below is an abstract about his recent paper to discuss.
We propose a novel approach to grade presidential economic performance using stock returns. In efficient markets, asset prices are unique in that they impound the long term effects of changes in the environment, including government policy. To purge national returns of state-of-the-world conditions that do not result from local events, we introduce a global twin portfolio and a regional return. The twin portfolio for a country reports the return of a combination of world stocks that each month has the same industrial composition as that one country's stock index. These benchmark external conditions are most volatile: they vary between a 295% appreciation (or tailwind under some interpretations) and a 30% reduction (or headwind) in asset prices over extreme four-year presidencies in our sample. We interpret the gap of national performance over these counterfactual returns as a proxy for the quality of domestic policies during a given presidency, as seen from the standpoint of equity investors. We apply this approach to seven Latin American countries from 1980 until 2011. From this perspective, Colombia, Peru and Chile stand out as the countries that have implemented the best long run policies over the sample. In addition, we provide a grading of relative presidential performance.

CBC to Obama: Excuse Us, But We Believe You Were Busy Buying Our Votes
posted at 2:08 pm on July 31, 2010 by Jimmie Bise, Jr
The segment of black America* who follow Democrats come hell or high water is learning a hard lesson today. The administration promised to send $1.5 billion to Arkansas to help Blanche Lincoln out of a re-election mess. You know, the same old tactic of using your money to buy votes. However, President Obama has also plead poverty to avoid paying out $1.2 billion promised to settle an old discrimination case against black farmers that now includes more "farmers" than actually exist. Moe Lane lays out the administration's lesson plan.
What's happening here is that Blanche Lincoln is a heavily-beleaguered Democratic Senator who was severely wounded in her primary, and is now facing almost certain doom in the general. But if 1.5 billion can save her, it can save her. In contrast, the members of the CBC enjoy the twin advantages of being ensconced in districts gerrymandered for their convenience via federal statute, and being the (eager) beneficiaries of forty years of Democratic agitprop dedicated to painting the GOP as veritable demons from Hell when it comes to race relations. In other words, they're not going anywhere and their constituents will overwhelmingly vote for the President in 2012: so why is the CBC raising a fuss? And why should the administration care if they do?
Because, really, what does the AA community plan to do about being put-upon like this? Vote Republican?
For those of you searching for the hopeychangeyness in this exercise in rank political power, let me know if you catch a glimpse, would you? I've looked, but all I see is the same corrupt backroom vote-trading I've seen from Washington almost all my life.
*Yes, I realize that segment is considerable, but there is no doubt that not every black voter in this country has swallowed the progressive Kool-Aid. Perhaps this will help a few more realize that they're not being fed sweet, sweet drink but a pretty noxious swill.

What is being said here is that if using foundationless frames and the bees have to draw natural comb, they consume more honey for making wax than if you use wax foundation in the frames. It takes honey to produce comb. Simply said. Have a wonderful and great day, beautiful life. Cindi
The bottom line is how fast do they build the comb so there is somewhere to put the nectar? They build it faster without the foundation.

Kevin is our Senior Curator of Mammals. He investigates the systematics, evolution and conservation biology of mammals with a particular interest in rodents.
I'm about to depart on the next expedition to the high mountains of Sulawesi along with MV Ornithology Fellow Karen Rowe, and MV Collection Manager of Terrestrial Vertebrates Wayne Longmore. We'll be surveying birds, rodents, bats and shrews, in areas virtually unknown to science.

An evolutionary cross-roads between Australia and Asia, the Indonesian island of Sulawesi is home to mostly endemic species (those found nowhere else) and its mix of dense equatorial rainforest and mountain peaks of some 3,000 metres lends a profusion of life rarely seen worldwide.
Our primary target on the coming expedition is Mount Sojol on Sulawesi's northern peninsula. We know from observational bird surveys that vertebrate diversity is probably quite high, but there have been virtually no specimens collected from this part of Indonesia. Like many mountains on Sulawesi, only the local people really know what is there.
However, before we can start any surveys there's a lot to do. This week the team is packing equipment and supplies needed to collect and preserve specimens. On Saturday, I fly to Jakarta.
I'll spend my first week in Indonesia completing visa and permit paperwork with visits to several government offices. Between paperwork, I will prepare supplies and examine specimens with collaborators at Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense (the national zoological museum of Indonesia).
Once the paperwork is complete, I will fly to Palu, Sulawesi and will travel 200 km up the Trans-Sulawesi Highway to the village of Siboa. From Siboa, my collaborators and I will meet with local people including the village head, or kepala desa, to obtain their support and approval. With the help of local guides we will hike into the mountains where we will spend a week searching for suitable field camps. Karen, Wayne, and other collaborators from the USA will meet me in Palu after a week of completing their own paperwork in Jakarta. They will make the trek into the forest camp and begin the process of surveying the unique birds and mammals of Mount Sojol, Sulawesi.
In the sixth week, we will all return to Palu to share the results of the inventory with the Indonesian Department of Forestry before flying back to Jakarta. There we'll spend a final week packing specimens and obtaining permits to export the specimens to Australia where they will join the state collection at Museum Victoria.
The Sulawesi research trip is part of a multi-year project supported by the National Geographic Society, the Australian Pacific Science Foundation, the Ian Potter Foundation and the Hugh D T Williamson Foundation that includes key research partners Museum Victoria, the Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense (National Museum of Indonesia), the Field Museum of Natural History, the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology at the University of California, Berkeley, and McMaster University. The multi-national team comprises Canadian, American, Australian and Indonesian researchers.
The team's announcement that they had discovered a remarkable new rodent genus – an almost toothless, worm-eating rat, Paucidentomys vermidax – made international headlines last year.

Not a good idea!
Proper matching of the recoil spring weight to the weight of the slide and caliber of ammo is essential to proper operation of the gun and is built into the design. A change of 1 lb. more or less on the recoil spring might not hinder proper operation but would be negligible in the effort required to rack the slide. More than that; there are a lot of reasons not to do it.
I've seen a change in technique help with folks who have this trouble and maybe that will work for your wife.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Lilie ... I was SOOO guilty of that!
I have high expectations of any dog I own ... I have zero tolerance for a "badly behaved dog (not puppy) ... I know it's the owner's fault, not the dog!
I had to stand back some times and say Marion, back off, she's only "x" months old ... And then yes, rejoice in the little things .. like chasing leaves in the backyard, doing all the funny things that puppy's do that you'll never see again!!!!
SOOOO true Lilie ... and a great reminder for people in the puppy stage!
I think too many people expect perfection over night. I think they take their pup's actions too personally. I also think they don't realize that advice given over the internet should be taken in as a consideration and not as gospel. They need to realize every dog is different and every training tool needs to be tried in variations.
I think if folks would just relax and know they are in it for the long haul, rejoice in the little things, it would take the pressure off training.
Do you have someone that can come and take the pup out for a bit for you? Just to give you a break? I also have two parrots and a cat - not the same thing as a baby, but having to rotate times out / making sure all get attention ... it's a handful!!!!
Last Christmas my dad asked me what I was getting Ky as a present ... I told him the continuity of life ... figured that was a good place to start!
I'm struggling so much at the minute with my five month old pup because i have a baby daughter and i'm working part time as well. His training is going fine, it's just his constant hyperactivity, lol.

Oh yes, I so remember those months ... and Ky's 18 months now so it wasn't that long ago!!!
I used to threaten to drop her off at the park ... but then remembered that everyone knew her, so she'd just end up back at my front door.
I've threatened to trade her in for a hamster
I've told her that I would GLADLY give her to the next person that said she was beautiful
And I sat on my bed one day (she was about 8 months old) and broke down and cried ... why the heck did I get this dog??? Really, what was I thinking getting a purebred dog? Why couldn't I have been happy with a mutt, like all my other dogs?
And then, the moments pass, and the puppy shows you something funny, and you forget about it (til the next time) ... and then WHAMMO ... they're not doing any of those behaviours any more ... and you know what ... you don't really notice they're not doing them until it's been a couple of weeks!!
Glad you hung in there ... as am I!
Avery is in his adolescence phase and I have thought so many times to rehome him. I have a wonderful trainer who works with us everyday and reminds me that it's only a phase. I know in 6 months or so Avery will grow out of this and be a whole different dog.
I could never honestly be a "this is my dog until..." person. My parents were like what with some of the cats we had when I was younger and that's not cool to me now that I'm older.

|Well, I didn't write a letter, but a week before Sting was due to arrive, being he was my first puppy, I got cold feet and nearly cancelled. I had myself in a panic over the house training - which I had never done. Sting was smart - he was a real easy puppy. Then when he knew he was a keeper, at 8 months he burst out into his adolescence. That's when I would keep repeating "when this is all over, I'll be a confirmed cat person". To my surprise, Sting had the last laugh, when the elderly cat went to catnip heaven, I'm content with Sting and even when that day comes, looking forward to starting with another puppy. Congratulations on sticking with your puppy and now enjoying the hard earned reward of having a well trained adult.

Bill would extend $250 deduction for school supplies
Her bill, called the Reimburse Educators Who Pay for Academic Year Supplies Act, or 'REPAY Supplies Act,' would permanently extend the Classroom Expense Deduction, which is set to expire on Dec. 31 of this year.The 'above-the-line' $250 deduction is available to teachers, regardless of whether they itemize their taxes.
'Due to budget cuts, teachers are now forced to dig deeper into their own pockets for necessary supplies,' said Shea-Porter, a Democrat who represents the state's 1st Congressional District.'This legislation mitigates the financial sacrifices they make on behalf of their students and their communities,' she said.
According to Shea-Porter's office, the bill responds to a request Shea-Porter received from Dr. Margaret Morse-Barry, a Derry educator.Shea-Porter's office said the bill has been endorsed by the National Education Association (NEA) and its New Hampshire chapter, the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP), the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP), the Association for Career and the Technical Education (ACTE), National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), as well as the New Hampshire School Administrators Association and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and its local chapter.

Hi. I suppose my subject line says it all. Is this dangerous? I'm a 37-year-old man, and the prospective student is a 15-year-old girl. They contacted me for private lessons, not through a school. I've been teaching and tutoring for 4 years at a small private school, mostly adults but a few children.
I hadn't even considered anything strange about it. Both parents work all day. My wife was very cautious when I told her. No contract, nothing written, just a middle-aged man in their apartment with their daughter, they're insisting on 3 times a week. Now they've told me that they have established French lessons on Saturday and Sunday, so they want her to have English during the week. It seems very unlikely they'll be able to have someone at home during the lessons, but my wife is insisting I walk away if they can't.
I've had 3 lessons with her so far. A friend of the family was present in the apartment the first time, but after that no. I don't think it has even occurred to the family that I might have a problem with it.
So, basically, this is my choice. Go to teach a 15-year-old girl 3 times a week with no one else present, or refuse entirely. Is this something to be concerned about?
Thanks for your advice.

AMES, Iowa — The Field Extension Education Laboratory (FEEL) begins the 2012 growing and training session with a new activities coordinator. On March 1, Joshua (Josh) Dunn started as FEEL coordinator with the responsibility of coordinating demonstration plots and scheduling training events at the 43-acre Iowa State University Extension and Outreach facility.
Dunn, an Arkansas native, has a B.S. in botany and an M.S. in agriculture from Arkansas State University, where his research focused on soybean stress avoidance. He has 13 years experience in the industry managing crop stress trials including soybean, rice, and corn breeding and yield trials, conducting regulated testing on transgenic crops and managing environmental stress trials on corn and soybean. The last six years he has lived and worked in Iowa and Missouri.
"Much of my work has been looking at the environmental effects on plants — cotton, rice, soybean and corn," Dunn said. "Coming to this position at FEEL builds on those experiences and allows me to bring an understanding of the training needs of industry to the position."
Dunn will work with Iowa State University faculty and researchers that have historically conducted demonstration plots at FEEL and continue the successful programs of the past. Additionally, he plans to expand the training potential by bringing onboard new faculty and researchers and looking at opportunities to work with industry partners to create demonstrations and conduct research that is relevant to Iowa growers.
"I'm looking forward to extension and outreach work — where I can talk about the trials and demonstrations we are conducting and help farmers apply our findings," said Dunn. "I also enjoy being able to tell my son about the projects at FEEL and am excited to find ways to bring him and other students and 4-H'ers to the facility for field trips."
While supporting training and demonstration needs of the traditional FEEL audiences — farmers, extension and agri-business agronomists — Dunn plans to use available resources and target new audiences. Some new research and demonstration this year will involve the use of a hail simulator that will allow plant pathologists to evaluate how hail-damaged plants respond to fungicides. These plots also can be used as hail damage demonstration plots — a perfect scenario for training crop hail professionals. Also this year, there will be an ancestral crop demonstration that will provide a historical prospective on the ancestry of current cultivated corn and soybeans looking at how these plants have changed over time with selective breeding.
Dunn anticipates more educational opportunities for farmers and other agriculture professionals as partnerships, such as a scheduled spray school and weed management training with two large agrochemical companies. "These partnerships make it possible to host demonstrations and training clinics using the most modern equipment," he said.
When Dunn isn't coordinating events or exploring new opportunities for FEEL, he is at home with his wife and son on their farm raising llamas and goats and taking time to hike and canoe. "Iowa has really become home for us. We love it here," he said.

I have yet to complete my CELTA and I am trying to find available positions, so I can gauge the size of the job market within the UK. I do not want to teach abroad just yet but I would like to gain a few years of experience working anywhere within the UK first.
The problem I am facing is I can't find many jobs advertised online. Are there any websites that have a large number of UK vacancies? So far I have found a limited number of vacancies on very few websites (granted, there many be few jobs available now) - I have found 6 on tefl-jobs.co.uk and 56 on tefl.com. That is 62 nationwide job adverts? I must be missing some big websites, no?

Green Bay Opens Horizon League Play at WSU on Thursday
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Winners of three-straight home games, Green Bay begins Horizon League play as one of the hottest in the Horizon League on Thursday night, playing at Wright State at 6 p.m. In opening conference play at Wright State, the Phoenix returns to the road, where it has not played since a 75-64 loss at Wisconsin on Dec. 12 and has lost all five games this season. Green Bay trusts that road games at the likes of Wisconsin, Virginia and Nevada have prepared it for life on the road in league play.
The five meetings between Wright State and Green Bay in the last two years have been decided by an average of just 4.2 points per game, with four of the five decided by five or less. The Raiders won all three meetings in 2010-11, but the Phoenix swept the two games a season ago, winning 57-56 in Green Bay on Jan. 14 and 53-48 in Dayton on Feb. 10.
Green Bay is led in scoring by sophomore Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.), who is averaging 16.7 points per game to rank third in the Horizon League. First-Team All-Horizon League big man Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) has been resurgent of late, averaging 14.3 points and shooting 61.3 percent during the win streak.
FOLLOW THE PHOENIX: Fans will be able to follow the action from Dayton by tuning into Time Warner Cable Sports32. Chris Roth (play-by-play) will be on the call alongside Dave Cecutti (color analyst) for the television broadcast.
The game will also be carried live by WDUZ The Fan 1400 AM and online at thefan1075.com. The play-by-play voice of the Phoenix Matt Menzl will be on the call. Live stats will be available on GreenBayPhoenix.com. You can also stay up-to-date by following @GBPhoenixMBB and @GBGavin on Twitter.
1. ON GUARD: Green Bay's defense has been a major factor for its recent three-game winning streak. The team's last three opponents have averaged just 48.3 points per game while shooting 34.6 percent from the field. The Phoenix defense has also forced 42 turnovers during this stretch and held opponents to just 32.8 percent from long range in that stretch.
2. ON POINT: After inserting freshman Carrington Love (Milwaukee, Wis.) into the lineup, head coach Brian Wardle has started two point guards for the past three games. The move has worked as Love and Sykes have combined to dish out 32 assists while committing only seven turnovers. Sykes has averaged 17.3 points and 6.3 assists while Love has handed out 4.3 assists per game.
3. POSITIVE REINFORCEMENTS: Green Bay welcomes or welcomes back three key pieces for Horizon League play. Junior Daniel Turner (McCordsville, Ind.) returned against Illinois-Springfield after missing the previous seven games with a torn MCL. Senior Brennan Cougill (Sioux City, Iowa) will be back for the game against the Raiders after serving a suspension for violating team rules. Sophomore Cole Stefan (Minnetonka, Minn.) will be active for the first time after transferring for La Salle last December.
• HANDLE THE ROCK: Since a forgettable opener in which he committed eight turnovers without an assist, Sykes has been terrific handling the ball. After an eight assist outing against South Dakota, Sykes has now dished out 50 assists compared to just 20 turnovers in the past 12 games. In addition to ranking third in the conference in points, he is seventh in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.8) and assists (3.8).
• FREE AND EASY: Green Bay enters Horizon League play as the top free-throw shooting team in the Horizon League, and its 76.2 percent from the line is also 13th nationally. The Phoenix is 218-286 on the season and has four players with 10 or more attempts shooting at least 85 percent for the season - Kam Cerroni (23-23), Daniel Turner (11-12), Brennan Cougill (29-33) and Keifer Sykes (63-74).
• SULTAN OF STROKE: Junior Sultan Muhammad (Grand Rapids, Mich.) had the best game of his young Phoenix career against Illinois-Springfield. The junior college transfer made his first five three-pointers, all in the first half, en route to scoring a career-high 21 points. Muhammad ranks sixth in the Horizon League in three-point percentage at 44 percent (22-50).
• STREAKIN' SHOOTER: Cerroni carries a couple of impressive streaks into the contest at Wright State. The junior was the only Horizon League player to make a three-pointer in each game last season and has made a three in 18-straight league games. He has also made 38 free throws in a row dating back to last season (2/4/12), including a perfect 23-of-23 this year.
• HAULING IN 500: Junior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) had one of his best efforts of the season against South Dakota. The 7-foot-1 big man was an efficient 8-of-10 from the field and made both of his threes en route to a game-high 19 points. Brown also grabbed eight rebounds to become the 14th Phoenix player to corral 500 for his career. He now has 506 career rebounds, grabbing 183 offensive rebounds and 323 defensive rebounds in 74 games.
• IN GOOD COMPANY: Sykes was added to the Bob Cousy Watch List as one of the nation's top point guards. The honor named after Hall of Famer Bob Cousy is handed out at the Final Four to the player named the top point guard in the country.
• HISTORIC WIN: Not only was Green Bay's 49-47 Dec. 19th win over Marquette historic because it was the first time the Golden Eagles had visited Green Bay in 12 all-time meetings, but it was also the first Phoenix victory in the series since Jan. 7, 1995 (50-48). Green Bay improved to 3-9 all-time in the series and, of course, 1-0 at home.

Notable Oregonians: Lewis A. McArthur - Geographer, Historian
Lewis A. "Tam" McArthur was born in The Dalles, Oregon on April 27, 1883. His father, Lewis Linn McArthur, served as an Oregon Supreme Court justice from 1870 to 1878 and later served as the U.S. attorney for Oregon. His family lived on a farm near Rickreall during part of McArthur's childhood but later moved to Portland, where he was educated at the Portland Academy. He graduated from the University of California in 1908 after also working for The Oregonian newspaper during his college years. In 1910, McArthur started work with the new Pacific Power & Light Co. as one of its first employees. By 1923, he was appointed vice-president and general manager and continued with the company until retirement in 1946. He had four children with his wife, Mary, who died in 1943.
Although he had been compiling geographic names for years, McArthur's official connection with Oregon geography began when Governor Oswald West appointed him to serve on the Oregon Geographic Board in 1914. Two years later, the board elected him to be secretary, a position he held for the next 33 years. From that vantage point, McArthur could explore his fascination with Oregon place names, studying the diaries and journals of the region's explorers, traders, trappers, naturalists, and others while interviewing survivors of the state's pioneer era. Early results of his research appeared in eight issues of the Oregon Historical Quarterly in the 1920s. By 1928, McArthur had published the first Oregon Geographic Names, funded entirely with his own money. The book quickly became the recognized standard for information about the origins and history of Oregon place names.
Continuing research and more editions followed. A second edition in 1944 added information on Oregon post offices. The 1952 third edition, released the year after his death, benefited from the help of his second wife, Nellie Pipes, the long-time librarian at the Oregon Historical Society. His son, Lewis L. McArthur, later picked up the mantle after Governor Mark Hatfield transferred the languishing Oregon Geographic Board from state government administration to the Oregon Historical Society in 1959. The reorganization also changed the name to the current Oregon Geographic Names Board. Additional research resulted in the release of a fourth edition of Oregon Geographic Names in 1974, edited by Lewis L. McArthur. Subsequent editions followed, including the release of the seventh edition in 2003. Lewis L. McArthur's daughter, Mary, has voiced her interest in carrying on the family tradition for future editions.
In addition to his contributions to the Oregon Geographic Board, Lewis A. McArthur advised government agencies involved with topographic mapping and primary surveying. In this capacity, he convinced the U.S. Geological Survey to use a new method of incorporating photographic topography with existing maps, a process that continues in use. McArthur also served as president and director of the Oregon Historical Society.
He died in Portland on November 8, 1951. His ashes were scattered over "Tam McArthur Rim," a part of the Cascade Mountains named in his honor. His work on Oregon Geographic Names continues to be an essential part of any Oregon reference library.

Green Bay Falls in Three to Valparaiso
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay volleyball team (10-10, 1-5 HL) dropped a 3-0 (25-19, 25-15, 25-19) decision to visiting Valparaiso (12-9, 4-2 HL) on Friday night in front of 388 fans at the Kress Center. The Crusaders were paced by Ellen Vanden Berg's 16 kills and Taylor Root's 34 digs, which helped their team snap a two-match losing streak against the Phoenix.
Valpo finished with a 51-31 advantage in the kill department, out-hitting the Phoenix .217 to .115. Vanden Berg's 16 kills came on just 26 attempts, good for a .615 hitting percentage. Joining Vanden Berg in double-figure kills was Mary Dent, who tallied 12 while hitting .296.
Green Bay was led by Lyndsay Zabkowicz (Oak Creek, Wis.), who had a team-high nine kills to go along with 11 digs. Carmen Leitermann (Schofield, Wis.) registered a team-best five blocks, including the 96th solo block of her career. The senior needs just one more to tie former Phoenix standout Marie Kaland (97 from 1992-95) atop the school's all-time list.
The contest featured two of the Horizon League's and the NCAA's top liberos in Valpo's Root and Green Bay's Brittany Groth (Oak Creek, Wis.). Root's 34 digs on Friday were the most by any Horizon League player in a three-set match this season, besting Groth's school-record mark of 29 that she had against Auburn on Aug. 25. Groth, who entered Friday's match ranked fourth in the country in digs per set, finished with a team-high 24 to improve her average to 6.17.
The Crusaders started fast, jumping out to a 12-5 lead in set number one before putting the Phoenix away 25-19. Valpo out-hit Green Bay .184 to .095 in the opener, forcing seven Phoenix attack errors.
Set two once again saw the visitors surge out to a 12-5 lead following one of Vanden Berg's seven kills in the set. Green Bay battled to get it to within five late (20-15), but the Crusaders rattled off the final five points to take the 2-0 lead with a 25-15 win.
Back-to-back Valpo kills made it 12-6 in the third, forcing a Phoenix timeout. Green Bay fought to keep it close down the stretch, trailing by just two at 19-17, but the Crusaders pulled away for the 25-19 victory and the sweep.
Green Bay is back in action tomorrow when it wraps up its three-match homestand and the first half of the Horizon League schedule against Wright State (2-21, 0-6 HL) at 4 p.m. The Raiders are coming off a 3-1 loss at Milwaukee on Friday night.

"The Dirty Sanchez" CJ-7/42's +1 tons
Well I guess I finally put my junk out here for everyone to talk sh!t about I wasnt going to do a build thread on this thing cause I figured I would never have time to update things as I went. But since its taking me a forever to get this thing back on its feet, figured what the hell. Besides there are probably a few people wondering if I was just buying parts there for a while to re-sell them.
The CJ was put together about five years ago, and has been a very reliable rig, but last year at Silver Lake I jumped Test Hill, and ummm well you all know how this story ends.
So, with all the crying and frustrations out of the way figured I'd step up and build a rig that I've always wanted. You know the one with giant tires, coilovers, beadlocks, and all that good stuff.
Ive changed directions on this thing four or five times since October of 08'. I think I have a pretty good game plan now, so we'll see what happens. My plans for the Dirty Sanchez are:
GM Dana 60 front axle - 5:13's w/Detroit
14 bolt rear - 5:13's w/spool
Four linked front and rear w/ coilovers front, and TJ coils for the rear.
Atlas 2peed case with 4.3:1
350 EFI, w/350TH trans
Full hydro steering
Hydro boost, and rear disk brakes
Recentered H1's w/42" Swampers
Thats just a few things. I'm going to throw a bunch of pics in order of the things I've been messin with for a while. Hope you enjoy my horrific world of alcohol abuse and fits of rage. Some of these post will includes rants and rather obscure ramblings, so please bare with me, I often have to run to Office Max to replace the keyboard of my PC.
This is what the old girl used to look like before I destroyed it mines the baby puke green one. The silver one is Jeepinjz's.
This is after. Ya I know it does'nt look that bad, but it was tore up inderneath. Damn near ripped the front axle out from under it, bent the springs, frame, roll cage and broke the trans in half. By far the worst part was having all that trans fluid pouring all over you, and then all the sand. talk about being tarred and featherd. Unclebeaner was kind enough to give me the shirt off his back to clear the goo from face. ya that doesnt sound good, but hey thats how it happened.
So after countless hours of binge drinking, and smoking cigars I figured it was time to cut some stuff up. And what better way to take your frustrations out, than cutting your frame in half
This was my first step of going over the deep end. Ya I know I should have just built a frame If I had a hooker every time I heard that, well I'd be a happy man. No seriously though, I know working with the CJ frame seems to be a waste of time. There too narrow, there too thin, there too weak, blah blah blah blah blah. I looked for a YJ frome but I'm not spendin money on a frame when I can use that money to buy BEER Are you noticing a trend here. Alright well thats it for now, before my computer crash's and I loose an hour's worth of typing and pics. I'll post some wheel and tire pics later, I'm thirsty

Alright got some more pics loaded (me to)!!!
After a three week fit of rage looking for and buying wheels, I ended up with a set of H1's from Mad Mac form Pirate 4x4http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=752726 just had to pick them up and get some paint on them. easier said then done.
I know everyone has probably seen every tech thread about H1 beadlocks, but this was my first time working with these. And to be honest, there really isnt anything out there about the damn rim locks. What a PITA. I ended up using the PVC rim locks instead of cutting down the mag run flats.
This seemed to be the best way. I put a bottle jack inside the rim lock and jacked it up till it was egg shaped. wiped a generous amout of tire lube AKA, Ajax dish soap. And that little fu@ker popped right in there. This was after I fought with it for what seemed like an eternety without the jack
Wrestled with it for a little more and poof. Its in. I know, WOW this is some serious tech eh?
Lube up your o-ring and make sure its not twisted. Since it seems like there is never anyone around when you need a hand, an old drywall bucket works good to place the back half of the rim and tire on.
Center everything up, and your ready for the outer rim.
This is the part that kinda scared me a first. There is a big gap between the two rim halfs. But everything comes together nice if you follow the torque sequence. The 8 bolts are torqued to 55 ft lbs. , then final torque is set at 65. But I still had a significant gap, so I went to 75 ft lbs. and was right at the gap specs.
Well thats my tire tech. Ya I know, I shouldnt quit my day job. I dont write about em, I just break em'
Couple more pics.
This is where is sets as of right now. As soon as my back is feeling a little better I'm gonna grab me a case of Coors and get back to work. Hopefully buy the week end I will have the front frame cut off, and the 2x3 box welded in so I can get the power train mocked up.

Hey, thanks for the compliments guys.
Ya that is a DJ/a.ka. the mail jeep grill.
Oh and you guys are not molesting my t/case before I get too. In the process of winning and dinnig it before I make the move, so you'll have to get in line
I forgot you even had the aftermath pics Beaner. Its kinda weird, but I only have a few digital pics of the CJ. A few years ago I was a die hard film guy, now look. Everything is stored in photobucket.
Anyhow, got a little bit done Saturday, not much today though.
Cut off the front section of the frame and got the new rails in place. Need to finish welding them, and making the fish plates. Man I'm not looking foward to amking all those plates. Its funny how the little things, like lifting the winch on to the front of the frame is a major pain right now. My back is still killin me.
But just gonna poke along and get done what I can.
I hope to have all this welded up, and get the power-train back in to make the mounts and t/case crossmember. As soon as thats done I get to use these. I hope there is enough in my checking acct. to cover my mortgage this month, cause these damn things arent cheap.
These are the Ballistic Joints with the 1 1/4" shank. I was hoping to use these for all the links, but they look a little smaller on a computer screen. Has anyone ever used this big of a joint for an upper link on a CJ frame? I took a few measurements before I cut the old frame off, It looks like they'll fit, but its gonna be damn close. I think I'll have to use a different set of headers.

I'm sure you can make them fit, but they are way overkill for uppers.

Cesc Fabregas is the new Arsenal captain.
The 21-year-old Spaniard will wear the armband for the first time in the match against Dynamo Kyiv at Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night.
Arsène Wenger announced his decision at his pre-match press conference ahead of the Group G clash. It ends a few days of feverish media speculation surrounding the future of William Gallas.
Wenger has included the French defender in his squad for Tuesday after leaving him out for the trip to Manchester City at the weekend. He added that, to him, the subject is now closed.
"Gallas will play against Kyiv," said the manager. "But he will not captain the team, it will be Cesc Fabregas.
"This is a permanent thing. But I don't think I especially have to explain why. I have given you information but I do not have to explain to you why I make these decisions.
"This subject is now closed. You have to respect a little bit of the team's privacy."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

The Machine Stops is a short science fiction story. It describes a world in which almost all humans have lost the ability to live on the surface of the Earth. Each individual lives in isolation in a 'cell', with all bodily and spiritual needs met by the omnipotent, global Machine. Most humans welcome this development, as they are skeptical and fearful of first-hand experience. People forget that humans created the Machine, and treat it as a mystical entity whose… (more)
Great work
THE MACHINE STOPS by E. M. FORSTER is an amazing short story first published in 1909. (Many sources list the second publishing in 1928 as the story's official date, missing it's first appearance in THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE REVIEW.)
The Machine Stops tells of a mother and son in a future, underground utopia. Each person in the society lives in a hexagonal cell, inside of a larger "hive" of other individuals. When they travel, which is rarely, they use automated cars that travel through tubes and… (more)

Major General Garry Schnelzer (USAF ret), Dr. William Bottke (SwRI) and Mr. Lindley Johnson (NASA) will speak on potential US-Russian cooperation in Planetary Defense Programs. On February 15, 2013, an asteroid exploded above the Siberian city of Chelyabinsk with the force of 500 kilotons. It caused over $30 million in property damage and injured more than 1,500 people. There was no warning of the asteroid's impact and its characteristics were not unlike that of a nuclear reentry warhead. Currently, less than 1 percent of the Chelyabinsk size asteroids (diameter of 20 meters) have been surveyed. Following the Chelyabinsk event, Ambassador Dmitry Rogozin, Russia's Deputy Premier for Defense and Space, made a public plea for Russian and U.S. cooperation in addressing future asteroid threats. The speakers will address what is being done to enable the United States to respond to Ambassador Rogozin's request. This seminar is off the record and comments cannot be published without the consent of the speaker. The seminar is open to Harvard students, fellows, faculty and ID card holders.
