a place for zinesters - writers and readers
I've been looking around online but all the typewriters I've seen have been far outside the price range of your average zine writer. And before someone suggests it: I'm a frequent browser of charity shops and in all my years I've not once seen a typewriter for sale. So for those of you who use typewriters, where the bloody hell did you get them from?! Are they hand-me-downs, second hand lucky finds, not actually yours? In case you couldn't tell, this puzzle has been bugging me for a while now...

I've been an avid yard sale and thrift shop shopper for decades and have compusively bought dozens. Maybe you have to enjoy junk shopping to really encounter opportunities.
This discussion might be helpful.
Thanks for the link, James.
I'm starting to think maybe this is a cultural thing. I live in a non-American capital city so we don't have things like Goodwill etc. I looked on Craigslist and the typewriters there are all in the $1000 range.
Damn, $1000? What are they made out of, gold and the blood of newborn infants?
I'd be willing to get you a typewriter and ship it, but as they can be 10-20 pounds shipping would probably be a lot. But if you're interested, send me a note. I know for a fact there are several $5 typewriters at the local Goodwill... because I donated them, and the last time I was there they still hadn't sold.
I got a new electronic typewriter at Home Depot not too long ago, it was only $150!
Well, if it's electronic, that's really more of a word processor I'm guessing, with the ability to fix mistakes and such. Although I didn't know Home Depot carried office equipment at all. I'm guessing this is similar to Borders' concept of broadening their product line into areas they really have no business being in, like art supplies and video games.
After reading this I feel like I have the Typewriter Touch. I should spend a day finding as many typewriters as I can, call them "vintage," then resell them at four times the amount I paid for them. :P

That's a rather hefty price to pay for a typewriter. I've seen them used for $25 or $30 at the most, usually. My electric was free. My manual was $25.

Thrift stores and yard sales. Keep looking! Check estate sales and auctions too.
I've never paid more than $4 for a typewriter. I've seen a couple in vintage shops and once in a Habitat for Humanity store that were $65 and up, in the same somewhat rickety condition as my cheap ones, and just scoffed. The universal ribbons I get from http://mytypewriter.com are ten bucks each, cheaper in three-packs. I just got an Olivetti with dual red and black ribbon which is severely dried--gotta get a replacement for that soon!

That's a total Kentucky fantasy.
watching espn this morning its sounding like the memphis coach is getting the hard push and he's listening. i can see him going from the big fish small pond going to try to be the big fish big pond.... but state's a pretty big pond, and he'd be crazy to ever leave there....
u rang?????????? look at me look at me
I'm really impressed with his FT shooting lately. That's great. I'd rather have all of our bigs spread the rebounding load than Dice having 20 board games. How nice it is to see AJ get good minutes and play good.
They always say that you want to be playing your best basketball when the playoffs roll around. That may be true for us this year. We just went through a really tough stretch where bench players had to carry the load. The confidence than they have in eachother and that the coach must have in them now (Will Bynum for example) combined with the bonding-through-adverity could prove powerful. On top of all that, we have the AI dynamic with him in a new role. If this new formula happens to work, then we could be better than we think. Need momentum and need our players to come together for a cinderella story. I don't see any reason why we can't pull off an upset over any team in the league if we are playing up to our potential. Sure, they'll be drastically out-coached, but... well... maybe that is one reason.
According to lee, we have the best roster in the NBA. I normally might dismiss these comments but he watches the games one frame at a time.
We do have a very good team. It's being managed by a rookie with no coaching experience at any level prior to this who has been flip flopping all year long on his vision. Stuckey- was playing like the best player on the team for a while Rip- multiple all-star, Final 4 champ, NBA finals champ, best mid-range jump shooter in the game, best at moving without the ball in the game, former 3point % champion. Tay- college success, NBA champ, Olympic gold medalist, defensive stand-out, versitile offensive game with 3-point range Dyess- one of best jump shooting bigs in game, hungry, rebounding machine, former Olympian Sheed- most talented post player in the game... when he wants to be. Huge 3-point threat. Defensive master. NBA champ. AI- no explanation needed. Maxiell/Brown/Amir- awesome bench big man package. Energy, defense, rebounding, toughness, all willing to dive on the floor at any time. Bynum- ankle breaker with crazy hops and seems to be fearless because of all his experience outside of NBA. Afflalo- efficient scorer and future Bruce Bowen. Has Kobe-like intensity in his love for the game and desire to get better. Herrmann- great hair. So, I agree that we are as deep and talented as a it gets. We even have the proverbial superstar. Give this roster to Popovich and he'd do just fine.
Classic. Nice to see you back in action TaS.
After the Memphis coach turns em down. Izzo jumps at an 8 year - 27 million contract...
A little late, but I just watched some of the game via DVR. Good coaching at the end by Curry leaving Amir and Bynum in. Even though Stuckey was playing well he left Bynum in and didn't mess with what was working. I agree partly with the roster thing. I don't in particular think we have the best roster and I didn't even think our bench was top 15 (But with AI coming off it, it changes). With AI coming off the bench you could argue we have a top 5 bench. Come playoff time it will be exciting to watch, but I'm not going into it with high expectations. It will be interesting to see how Curry and the staff coach a 7 game series and how hungry AI is coming off the bench. No more CB, lets see how this "new" team plays. It's going to be a good guage of where we are at for next season that's for sure.
As always with this team, it's not how they go into games, it's how they react in the game. If they are going to be mentally tough, they can go toe to toe with anyone. If they take a hit, and start blaming the coach, and infighting, getting techs and hanging their heads, it's over. The last 3 years, these guys eliminated themselves. They did NOT leave it all on the court. Let's see what happens this year.

Cant play either. They need to increase server capacity... they really should have expected high volumes of players on day one.
I expected day one problems, same thing happened with the EU beta. I do enjoy the fact that you can see whose never been in betas before with all the people complaining about the problems.
I'm having fun in the lobby though
Can anyone else not fullscreen? After waiting like 5 minutes from the title screen, I was finally able to get to character create, but my game is stuck in window mode.

Was able to make a character but sadly not get a game going, room froze then the server was full when i tried to rejoin haha.
The tutorial was nice though. Curious as to how far I can push the wall running and such. Only thing that worries me though is having the jump key do it makes me wonder effectively can simply just jump off the wall.
Their cash shop prices are straight up bonkers. Who in their right mind would pay $10 for a single accessory or $2.50 for a single respawn token?

Best lobby simulator I ever played.
I wish I could actually play a match, though.
Currently playing:
Well they are only letting 1,500 people into the server now so... dam
Some things I don't understand that I was wondering if any of you have the answer to.
Why is dashing so much slower then other versions?
Any idea when they will release the rest of the weapons, starter ones that are up now kinda suck; otherwise just stockpile gold till then.
These dummies should have expected larger volumes of players. Gunz2 has soo much hype right now. Lol 1500 players at a time?
Status Update
February 18 - MAIET Games
Hello everyone,
We're experiencing several issues at the moment.
Currently known issues are:
- Lag issue
- frame lag on game lobby and title screen
- match not starting promptly (FIXED)
Due to unexpected number of players that came in right at the launch hour, we had to increase SEVER CAPACITY.
However, our current server set-up could not serve all 4,000 players at once.
Thus, we decided to decrease server capacity (Max player limit) again to provide smooth game play for limited number of players for now.
The game server can host up to 1,500 players at the moment.
It's not like this is unexpected. If you played the original GunZ when the international server came out they did the same thing.
I got the beta for this a long time ago I did not enjoy it at all. The original was fun and arcady this one just felt bad to me but I wish you all well hope you enjoy it imo titanfall is a much better new shooter option if shooters are your thing.
the game's alright, just feels to clunky.

One provision in President Barack Obama's recently released American Jobs Act would further delay the 3% withholding tax on government contracts by another year. GOP lawmakers, and a coalition of business advocates, are pushing him to go a step further, to a full repeal.
The 3% withholding tax is currently set to go into effect on all government contracts worth more than $10,000 in 2013, after a series of delays since its enactment in 2006. A full repeal has remained elusive however, as eliminating the withholding requirement from the books would keep an estimated $11 billion from the nation's ailing Treasury. Nonetheless, Republican officials are using the newly proposed delay to mount a new push for a full repeal.
"The President must know how damaging the 3% withholding rules are, as his Jobs Act calls for an additional year delay in its implementation. But if it is so harmful to small business—which it is—why not repeal it outright?," asked Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-SC), chairman of the House Small Business Committee's Subcommittee on Contracting and Workforce. "Majority Leader Eric Cantor has signaled that the repeal of this job-crushing withholding requirement will be on the House agenda this fall. I hope that the President & Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) will also support this repeal."
"The 3% withholding tax would hurt small business cash flow and job growth. Delaying its repeal only continues uncertainty for small business contractors. Permanent repeal will provide more certainty and help create jobs now," he added.
Joining Mulvaney at a press conference this week was Rep. Wally Herger (R-CA), sponsor of H.R. 674, a bipartisan bill that would repeal the 3% withholding tax and has garnered 241 cosponsors. "The 3% withholding tax will harm small businesses as well as state and local governments. We need to get it off the books once and for all to avoid placing small businesses, jobs across America and our economic recovery efforts at greater risk," said Herger. "I look forward to working with House Leadership to ensure that we get this bill passed to help our economy."
NACM has supported a full repeal of the 3% withholding tax since its enactment, and is a proud member of the Government Withholding Relief Coalition (GWRC), which continues to lobby for relief from this burdensome tax. Stay tuned to NACM's blog and NACM's eNews for further updates on the repeal effort.

A failed relationship leads a heartbroken man on a quest to perfect his macho swagger in this romantic comedy from Germany. Nice-guy schoolteacher Alex (Matthias Schweighöfer) shares an apartment with his girlfriend Carolin (Mavie Hörbiger). But just as things start to get serious, Carolin drops a bombshell -- she's in love with her handsome neighbor Jens (Thomas Kretschmann), and Alex has to go. Fortunately for Alex, his best friend Nele (Sibel Kekilli) offers him a bed to sleep in, and a shoulder to lean on. Meanwhile, Alex's macho pal Okke (Elyas M'Barek) decides to give his sheepish friend a crash course in living like a testosterone-fueled titan. But now the harder Alex strives to embrace male stereotypes, the more it begins to dawn on him that perhaps he just needs to find a woman who will accept him for who he truly is, rather than trying to shape him into something he's not. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

This is the second time I purchase Best Collagen. I truly love this product! First of all the body is filled with connective tissue which this product targets to. i am over 50 and I have noticed my skin getting smoother, some issue I had with some connective tissue went totally away and my skin is really improving. This is a very high quality collagen broken down in its smallest components through the amino acids. And I love the idea of putting it on my smoothies or on juice, so much better than taking it in supplement, which i already take plenty of. I am a happy customer with this product, and I don't say that lightly since I am very healthy and sensitive to products that are not of high quality. Hope this helps :)
No stretch marks!
Posted by TrueReviews on Nov 15, 2013 | Verified Purchase
I got this product because I am pregnant, and I read that collagen is essential building block for a lot of important tissues, such as bones, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. It is also beneficial for the mother, so that her hair and skin (read stretch marks!) remains supple. Hydrolysed collagen is the most effective form, because it is easily absorbed by the body. I take two scoops with my orange or apple juice, because it needs Vitamin C to get absorbed. Sometimes I mix it with Effer-C, Effervescent Drink Mix, Elderberry from Now Foods, so I don't taste the collagen. Both brands that carry Collagen (Neocell and Doctor's Best) are very good quality. This one had a better price. Click on my username for more reviews! If you thought that this review was helpful please feel free to press the 'yes' button.

Collagen is basically protein required to maintain and hold various structures of our body. It is most commonly found in our skin. This product provides the breakdown of collagen – the amino acids to aid absorption (normal collagen is too big to be absorbed). Price is also very competitive. Personal experience – Though it claims to have "pleasant and mild taste", it is more of a neutral taste. You can simply mix with anything and it will just dilute the taste of whatever you mix with. It's a quite gritty but mix very well with a blender bottle. It's best recommended to be taken with Vitamin C and both has to work together in order to achieve desired results. You will notice that your skin gets smoother, younger, elastic and softer after a while! It feels as if your skin gets ironed out. Though collagen is also found in joints, I find that it is not very effective as a standalone (seem to work well with hyaluronic acid according to others) or compared to glucosamine. I have also noted that the quality of your skin will revert slowly back to your old self if you stop taking it for a period of time. It is also important to take this on empty stomach and away from other protein powder as your body can only absorb limit amount of amino acids at the same time. For females who want to improve your skin quality, this works much better than those chemical facial creams, moisturizers can even do. The price is much lower than its competitor on iherb, neocell. However, those who have tried both tends to stick to neocell. I will probably try neocell someday. Check out my page for more reviews!
Very good product.

I have been using this for approximately 2 weeks and have noticed an improvement in my facial skin. Granted I also take hyaluronic acid and alpha lipoic acid. Still I took those before and didn't notice a difference like I do now. Lots of people are comparing this product to Neocell (which is a very good product) but I think both products are comparable but Doctor's Best is a little less expensive (even thought Neocell is a very good price too). I would highly recommend this product especially for its anti-aging benefits throughout the body (but you will notice it on your face first).

This product is necessary for me. I care of the skin, hair, connecting fabrics. I can use it differently - to drink inside, to add in cream, to do masks. It is well dissolved, easily absorbed. Very convenient form of a preparation.

I have been taking this product for over six months now. My nails have strengthened, my skin has reduced lines and looks smooth and radiant. Because of the Lysine (mainly) and I suspect the other ingredients, I have not had an outbreak of herpes in all that time. My amino acid count according to my recent blood test is very good. So I am happy with the results.
Really is the Best!

Collagen is nasty stuff, but worth the trouble of gagging it down. That said, Dr's Best isn't the best I've found; Neocell is. Neocell, Super Collagen, Type 1 & 3 Powder, 7 oz (198 g) is just as gag-inducing as Dr's Best, but within a day or two of using Neocell, my skin was softer and more supple. Not so with Dr's Best.

Theres no one else that makes an interior like his at the moment as far as I know...If your just wanting something to pad your helmet get some foam padding. He'll turn back up Im sure hes been a member for a while and has been on the board probably just not answering PMs for some reason be patient
Thanks 4 Real. I want the padding AND the look. I won't have that bucket on all the time so when I take it off I want it to have the same "wow factor" as the outside.
I build custom lightsabers and when I build them I do the interiors as well. So when you pop it open you've got the crystal chamber and all the other goodies. So I would like to do that with the bucket too if possible. I'm just nerdy like that :-)
I sent him a message so I'm sure he'll get back to me eventually. Hell...I don't even have my bucket yet so there's no hurry. I'm just trying to get a line on all the crafters so when the time comes I know who to send my money to
Custom lightsabers post some up...Id like to see
As for interiors, I'm working on one myself for a non-Fett helmet. If you're up to the challenge, why not try making one yourself? Half the fun of these kind of projects is knowing you did the work and that it's unique.
I'll get some pix up of my personal saber. I've never even thought about taking pix of the other ones I've done but if I get any requests I'll start posting pix of the completed projets. None of my sabers are prop replicas just original concept designs.
As for doing the helmet interiors myself I intend to...to a certain extent. I don't have any sculpting experiance or skills which is why I'd rather leave the "real" details to the pros. Like the interior of the Riddell BF helmet. Stormrider did a great job of replicating that. Something I don't have the skills or the facilities to do. Doing custom stuff on the other hand...now that I can do.
And to be honest, as the parts start rolling in I'd rather spend my time painting than sculpting.

I am considering adding a Tech-Sight aperture sight to my 10/22. I think that would improve the accuracy. And, it would make it closer to the sights on my Mini-14. I do think that it would be an improvement over the factory "open" sight. This replacement sight will cost $59. I do not think that is unreasonable.
Inasmuch as 223/5.56 ammo is getting hard to get, it will be more difficult to practice with my Mini. I think that modifying my 10/22 this way will make practicing better. And, I will be building muscle memory for both guns at the same time. Sounds like a win-win situation to me!

The card's paper quality was excellent. One suggestion, I like to write a short note on the back of the cards. Because of the black base color of the card it would be extra nice if Tinyprints offered the purchase of a gold gel pen with the order."

There is joy in many part of Hollywood and, most probably, Tom Cruise is jumping for joy on his couch at the news from the European Court of Human Rights that Russia can not ban the Church of Scientology from pushing its wares that it claims are based on religious principles. The Russian Scientology church originally had tried to get local courts to end the ban on their activities, but were unsuccessful. The European Court ruled Russian law that said "religious organizations" that had not been in existence for at least 15 years could not be listed as a religious organization. Scientology had not been in Russia long enough to qualify under that law.
The European Court decision makes sense. Why not allow people to decide whether an organization is a legal religious one or not. After all, according to Russian law if Jesus showed up tomorrow and claimed Christianity was not his religion and wanted to start a new one, it would be illegal.

Hi Dick and Vincent,
I still love both of your podcasts and was very pleased when Dick referred to Claudius as I love the books about him. This malaria themed podcast made me realize that the historical part of parasitism is so interesting (I'm talking about the really old stuff), and although it is very difficult to say much about this, I would really like to know more about parasitology and their influence on history.

Dear Vincent and Dick,
I have been fervently enjoying your podcasts since I learned about them a few months ago from Rich Condit himself. I am a grad student at University of Florida and I am on a training grant that he is involved with. I have been trying my best to catch up with your TWIV episodes, and I was delighted when you started TWIP. I study a protozoan parasite called Babesia bovis, which I bet Dick is aware of (believe me, most people are not).
I just listened to the TWIV episode in which Dr. Condit tells you about our seminar program where students get to present the speakers' papers to them after the talk. Wouldn't you know, I am one of the lucky students who gets to present to you! Of course I did not realize this at the time I was assigned to you - I was just annoyed that most of the speakers were virologists (not a single parasitologist, how surprising...!) and terrified because I know so little about virology. Presently I feel slightly better about the virology aspect after listening to so many of your informative and entertaining podcasts. However, you have become somewhat of a celebrity to me but don't yet know I exist, which I was beginning to feel a little weird about. Hence, this email.
I am very excited to meet you and I think you should bring Dick along. I will take him fishing in my canoe!
Also, I have a suggestion for a podcast topic, which could actually be covered on either TWIV or TWIP. The particular aspect of Babesia bovis that I study is its ability to undergo rapid antigenic variation, which I'm sure you know is not unique to this organism. I think people would be interested to hear about antigenic variation and how it allows pathogens to evade the host immune response. Also, you could talk about antigenic shift and drift, and the differences between those three events. Sorry if you've already covered this topic - like I said, I haven't quite caught up yet.
Like Dr. Condit, I enjoy your podcasts most while on my daily bicycle commute. I truly appreciate the opportunity you've given me to learn something during this otherwise uneventful part of my day. My other favorite podcast is "This American Life" - if you haven't heard it, please give it a listen. In fact there is an episode (no. 404) called "Behind Enemy Lines" that has two stories about parasites, including one about a man who purposefully acquires hookworm (by stomping around in tropical third-world country latrines) to ease his allergies and asthma.
Sorry for all the rambling, thanks again, and I very much look forward to meeting you.
p.s. One of my cats is chronically infected with tapeworms despite my best efforts to eradicate them. I find lots of little proglottids in her favorite sleeping spots, and sometimes I find 2-4 inch long, flat, crusty worm segments that look like rice noodles. I'd be happy to save one for you!

I am a little behind on both TWIV and TWIP, but as I was listing to the trichinella, while collating appendices, I had a thought. I have read/heard over the years that the lack of parasites in our society is related to the high incidence of allergies and autoimmune diseases.I will fully admit this may be a stupid question..
When looking into making vaccines for parasites (as Dick mentioned has been done), has it ever been considered as a way to stimulate the immune response (without causing any disease) to help prevent/treat allergies and autoimmune diseases? Just thought it was an interesting idea.

I listen to at least a dozen podcasts regularly and sometimes I don't have time for every episode, but TWIP and TWIV are two that I never skip. I'm always entertained and always learn something. It's not at all related to my present occupation, (electrical engineer working on rockets), but maybe that's why it's especially interesting because it's so different.
1) Question: I'd be interested if you could cover diseases that we can get from our pets as I have several dogs and a couple of little kids. I wonder what kinds of scary parasites you can describe that can help keep me up at night worrying. At least we are in Arizona so we don't have many fleas or ticks around ( I guess it gets too hot?)
2) Tip: http://www.giantmicrobes.com/ Check out this website and the cool stuffed bugs, germs, viruses etc. Stuffed bears are entirely over represented in the stuffed toy world.
PS. I need TWIP to be more frequent. Please. Thanks for all the time you guys put in to this. It's very much appreciated.
PPS. If you ever change your tag line at the end it could be " Another TWIP... is in your brain"<

I thought this news item might interest you:
"Health authorities are warning of the dangers of eating slugs as a Sydney man battles a rare form of meningitis.
The 21-year-old caught rat lungworm disease after he ate a slug as a dare some time ago.
He is now in a critical condition in hospital.
The disease is caused by a parasitic worm that is carried by slugs and snails.
In some instances, the worm can cause fatal swelling of the brain and spinal chord.
Doctor Jeremy McAnulty from New South Wales Health says these cases are rare and most people can recover.
"It goes away by itself because the body's immune system will eventually get rid of it," he said.
The disease can also be caught from raw vegetables or fruit which have not been washed properly."
Cheers, Duncan

Keep up the wonderfully good work on both podcasts!

Since we can't get enough of TWIP, I have started a facebook group on Parasites and Parasitology. Feel free to cross post on it and spread the word. I have linked this website to the group and perhaps you would do the same.

I love both TWIP and TWIV, but I need more frequent TWIP podcasts!! Too much waiting gives me digestional problems. So, due to my failing health, I need more frequent TWIP productions (much more, if possible). Of course I don't have a Doctor's note, but I am working to get into the Microbiology Ph.D. program at UF and I can't handle the extra stress ;) Hook us up, guys, we need our "fix."
Thank you for the awesome shows

Hello Drs. Racaniello and Despommier,I am an avid listener to TWiV and just recently am catching up on TWiP. I work in the Biotech field, formerly in clinical viral production and now antibody production. I specialize in large-ish cell based production I suppose. well virology will always be close to my heart.
Anyway, I have a couple of comments for TWiP, I have only listened to the first couple of episodes so hopefully no other listeners have beat me to this.
On the first podcast you said that there are no parasites larger than insects. I believe I have thought up and exception. The cuckoo bird would be a parasite. Wikipedia lists it as a "brood parasite". I would love to be the first listener to have though of this as you have a very intelligent listenership! :)
In the second podcast you discussed Ivermectin, just an interesting side note, this is also used extensively for horses. It is part of the "wormer rotation" used against round worms, bots, etc. (my bachelors degree is in Equine science).
I wonder if you wouldnt do an episode on Tuberculous. I find this disease very interesting and it is making a world wide comeback.
Thank you, keep up the great work,

Despite reaching important milestones, intelligence agencies still struggle to effectively share information. (FCW image)
The information-thirsty intelligence community (IC) realized years ago that each of its 17 component agencies gobbling up and storing swaths of data isn't the best use of the billions of dollars spent gathering intelligence – or the best use of the data.
That awareness led to the IC Information Technology Enterprise (ICITE) strategy, proposed by Director of National Intelligence Director James Clapper in 2011, designed to unify communication and information sharing within the IC.
As IC Chief Information Officer Al Tarasiuk announced Sept. 9, ICITE reached an important milestone in August, inaugurating its own internal cloud based on the National Security Agency's model, opening an IC-wide application mall and rolling out the IC shared desktop model to a few thousand users within the National Geospatial-Intelligence and Defense Intelligence agencies.
Could ICITE have stopped Snowden?
Leaked documents clarify classified IT spending
Intelligence community builds cloud infrastructure
But information is the epicenter for the strategy.
Information is the currency for intelligence, and improved transactions between agencies equate to improved national security. The IC isn't where it wants to be yet, Tarasiuk said, but it is getting there incrementally.
"Not all (IC) agencies can communicate with each other" in the ways they should be able to, Tarasiuk said.
That admission suggests the same information governance issues that plague civilian agencies extend to Defense and IC agencies, but ICITE aims to change that.
Tarasiuk explained that IC users will have "better access to data over time" through common e-mail and collaboration tools in relation to the IC's standardized shared desktop environment, which is based on off-the-shelf Windows 7-based software -- with extensive security modifications.
The "technical roadblocks" between IC users from differing component agencies will disappear as well.
If analysts from the Central Intelligence Agency and the NSA want to exchange or share information, for example, they can, but what information each party can access depends on settings and standards that individual agencies – acting as data stewards – put on the information. In other words, the walls between the agencies come down.
While this "brings information and data together" like never before for the IC, Tarasiuk made clear that safeguards, including IC-wide security standards, levels of encryption on data and segmented access for privileged users, ensure IC users don't access information they're not supposed to.
"It doesn't mean everyone has access to everything," Tarasiuk said.
In the announcement, Tarasiuk did not mention former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, the man responsible for leaking a slew of top-secret files on surveillance capabilities and directives to the public.
Yet it's clear the Snowden effect has been discussed thoroughly by the IC's top brass in maximizing the security architecture end-to-end, from a user's desktop to the IC's internal cloud.
Users, he said, will have access to information they need to do their jobs -- no more, and no less.
ICITE's capabilities, when fully realized in 2018, will allow intelligence agencies access to better quality data, too.
The private cloud will by then be bolstered by a commercial provider – either IBM or Amazon Web Services – and while the current capabilities of such an enterprise remain classified, the cloud will provide the IC the means to better tag all the information it ingests.
Data storage and access improve as a result, and better data ultimately leads to better insights gleaned from it, meaning intelligence agencies will get more bang for the buck they spend on intelligence gathering.

Current restrictions on internet gateways complicate agencies' move to the cloud, so the Office of Management and Budget is exploring new security architectures.
After announcing it would switch to a commercial electronic health record system, the Department of Veterans Affairs must race to make a deal with Cerner.
This comment is another in the long stream of IT focused opinions that have little understanding of the DOD/ Intelligence Community's disfunction. When one makes a career as a DOD/IC federal manager and principal consultant working to improve agency and inter-agency communications, one learns that turning information into intelligence is held hostage by the culture of ineptitude through which data and information must flow. Each agency's policies, processes, business architectures, career tracks, and human weaknesses are insulated from external interference in order to protect local careerism, financial resources, executive influence and personal cya. What's in it for me? is clearly palpable at the more senior and executive levels. It is not unusual for employees and consultants working near the top of these agencies to be struck by the lack of a truly "public service" culture. When interorganizational strategic thinking, emotional moderation, and the common good are essential recommendations for greater operational efficiency and ones own agency effectivess; it is (not) surprising that decisions and solutions are often viewed as being primarily within the executive's own scope and opportunity -- and this applies equally to CIOs as well as Directors, COOs and CFOs. In the end, the agency is a human organization that resists the use of technological capabilities that tend to restrain influential individuals from pursuing their respective agendas. It is not the plumbing system itself that determines the quality of the water that flows through it.

another month, another update
trans should be a couple weeks out now, most of the way reassembled and just waiting on a couple more odds and ends to get it buttoned up.
I love it when this pops to the top of my subscribed threads.
Very cool project.
next projects before the trans comes back are getting the bumpers all sorted out, hiding some of the wiring in the rear that the chrome rear bumper doesnt have provisions for, and touching up some of the paint up front behind the bumper.
i might have time to wrap up the bumpers this weekend, but i need a few dry days to finish painting the brackets.
Speaking of your car, here's my latest temptation to rejoin the fold:
It's a 1966 Silver Shadow Coupe, James Young edition. Only 50 made, of those only 15 are LHD (the one pictured isn't, btw). I've only seen two of these advertised in the US, this one and a rust-bucket that sat on a Lousiiana lot for years. I like the MPW/Corniche, but really love these as they carry over the great lines of the Silver Shadow more faithfully. They didn't sell well because they were insanely expensive for the time - unlike Mulliner Park Ward, they had no relationship with Rolls-Royce and had to pay full retail for a Shadow then re-do the body as a coupe.
Unfortunately for this one, some knucklehead decided to update it and add the later bumpers. Another wierd thing is, though you can't see this in the pics, the restorer didn't put back the side mirrors.

i truly cant stand the coupes with the later bumpers... the sedans im not quite as bothered by, but i think they look terrible on a coupe
plenty of neat stuff for sale in the 25k-35k price range on RROC the last few months though if youre thinking about getting back into it

Good lord some of those costs are extremely high. tie rod ball joints $580?! Door seal $350-450?!?!?!
signatures are annoying, right?
Lot of things cheaper than I thought.
The brake work is ridiculous though. Is the brake system tied into something else?
"Motorcycles - the cigarettes of transportation." Seth Meyers
Looking at those prices makes me wonder if service for a Turbo RL would be similar in cost. Tgose seem to be 75-80% depreciated and although they lack the classic beauty of your 67 they still have quite a bit of presence.

Summit County community members to be honored at CDLT event
November 18, 2012
There are many ways that Colorado is unique within the nation, including its natural beauty and the accessibility of wildlife areas and open spaces. It is also the only state in the nation that donates 100 percent of its lottery proceeds to wildlife habitat, parks and open space protection.
To celebrate this commitment, the Continental Divide Land Trust is hosting a Summit County-focused Great Outdoors Celebration Tuesday at the Silverthorne Pavilion. The event focuses on the work done by Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO), which has invested over $6 million in Summit County alone for local open space and recreation projects. Some of these projects include the Willow Grove in Silverthorne, Cow Camp in the Lower Blue, the new Frisco Bike Park, picnic facilities in Dillon and Nordic trails in Breckenridge, among others.
"It's celebrating all that makes our community great, with the emphasis on the outdoors," said Leigh Girvin, executive director of the Continental Divide Land Trust. "All the communities in our county have received funding from GOCO for various projects."
The event will celebrate the people who helped preserve and protect them. Summit's Great Outdoors Awards will be presented to six local honorees for their work in categories that include community representative, community organizer, philanthropist and volunteer.
The awards, which are only offered every five years, seek to "recognize people who have worked tirelessly and done outstanding work to protect our outdoor recreational opportunities and natural resources," said Girvin.
A slideshow by acclaimed photographer John Fielder entitled "Colorado's Great Outdoors: Celebrating 20 Years of Lottery-Funded Lands" will highlight the very places that the lottery funds, GOCO and the CDLT protect.
Fielder was part of GOCO's original board of directors and has been a passionate advocator for keeping the lottery funds exclusively for natural resources and outdoor recreation. He has been a professional photographer for 31 years and spends the majority of his time traveling around the state capturing powerful images to get his message across.
"My hope is that I will be able to remind people how lottery profits have enhanced our quality of life in Colorado, so when they hear about their local legislature possibly supporting a diversion of the money to other purposes, they'll contact their Legislature, and say now," Fielder said. "We want to keep being the only state in the country that spends all of its lottery on what defines our amazing quality of life in Summit County and Colorado, which is all the recreation and open spaces and the ranches, too, that we have in our lives."
The slideshow will focus mainly on images from all around Summit County, which Fielder also calls home. He has published several books of natural Colorado images, which will be on sale at the event, with 30 percent of gross proceeds going to the CDLT.
The doors of the Silverthorne Pavilion will open at 6:30 p.m. and the event will start at 7. Tickets will be available at the door for $20. Kids age 17 and under can get in at no cost. All proceeds benefit the land conservation programs of Continental Divide Land Trust.

Thanks for the information.
I am still from the old school of cast iron blocks and an aluminum engine somewhat worries me.
I baby my northstar around town but when I hit the road I treat it like a road car.
I am not afraid to push it.
I drive it pretty easy usually around town. Afterall, your mileage DOES go into the crapper when you hot-foot it around all the time. But on almost every freeway entrance (if there's not a slow Honda or Acura in front of me), I'll let that Northstar run, baby! I grew up on iron-block pushrod engines, so I was never used to the DOHC nature, but the sound of four camshafts singing in harmony is just unmatched! Did you know that a full 250 lb*ft of torque is available at JUST 1000 rpm??!! That's big-time! The Northstar is incredibly flexible for a DOHC design. You can lope around at just above idle if you want, but it'll open up and run if you let it!
Remember, when you floor it, you're not "pushing it hard", you're really letting it run at its potential. Marine and aircraft engines run at WOT all the time. Northstars make great marine and light aircraft engines.
I have to agree with pushing the northstar. If the results of those cycles are true, then what could a little redlining possibly do to it, if it can survive all that. They are really designed to last, if you take care of them.
I was realizing the importance of WOT-ing and engine, or at least really pushing. My fleetwood never gets pushed, it only gets driven once a week, and about 1 a month on the highway. I pulled it out of the garage, and revved it a couple of time. Nice little puffs of smoke. Next time i have it out i am going to really slam it down.

What GAS-BURNING engines do you know that are run at WOT constantly?

What GAS-BURNING engines do you know that are run at WOT constantly?
It seems that some ricers have to be at WOT to stay at highway speeds :-D .
In response, i would have to agree that most aircraft engines run at high RPMs, but i dont think they run at WOT. IMO, i dont think there are any engines that run at WOT constantly. My relatives own a marina, and most of the engines that are in there are simply small block chevys, chryslers, and fords with marine conversions (such as wet manifolds, brass water pump, and other things i cant think of). Sure, some can endure more WOT than others, but there is no engine (that i know of) that is specifically designed to be at WOT all the time. End of story.
While most engines are not designed for full-throttle use, the Northstar IS designed for this. Read below, from a statement by a friend of mine, a GM Powertrain engineer who worked on the Northstar project back in the late 1980s and early 1990s:
The 300-hour test I referenced is run at full throttle, maximum power, maximum RPM. On a Northstar we don't usually bother with the LD8; we run everything at 6000 RPM, 300 HP continuous, for 300 hours. That is like driving 150 MPH for 300 hours, or about 45,000 miles actually. If you can drive the equivalent of twice around the world at 150 mph, you are not the average customer. Besides, that test is just used to rapidly accumulate high load cycles on things like pistons, bearings, cranks, and block bulkheads.
There are many other dyno schedules we use to validate the engine for strength, longevity and gasket endurance. The gasket endurance test is particularly interesting because the engine is in a dyno cell and it is hooked to a large industrial chiller on one cooling system and a short-circuited radiator/hot water tank on the other. The schedule is run at WOT and about 4400 RPM (peak torque). The engine cooling system is short-circuited and the coolant gets to about 260 F. The engine goes to idle and is shut down. The cooling system is automatically switched and the engine is flooded with coolant from the chiller at -20 F. Frost literally forms on the block as the temperature drops. When the core of the block gets to -20 F the engine is started and immediately goes to WOT at 4400. It climbs back to 260 F from -20 F in about 6 minutes. Now for the killer: that is one cycle. A full test is 1200 cycles. Routinely run 1600 cycles to establish statistical significance of the data. If you know a customer that can mistreat an engine worse than that I would like to know how they are doing it.
That coolant cycle test is the one I mentioned. I got my facts wrong, though. I said they do it 300 times, they really do it 1200-1600 times. My bad.
The Northstar is a high-speed, high-performance engine. It LIKES to live in the upper ranges of the tachometer. This ain't no small block Chevy!
Those really are tremendous results.

yes very impressive... i wonder ho wmany other engines can do that.
Many (if not all) the tests that engineers run on test engines are NOT directly applicable to production engines run on the street.
As for engines run at WOT, Many aircraft engines are run at a NEAR full-throttle for the following reasons:
1. Better fuel efficiency
2. Less wear on the engine
3. More effective use of the engine's power
Aircraft engines that are run this way are are usually in the more expensive aircraft because in order to do it, you must have a variable-pitch prop.
Marine engines are NOT run at WOT. They ARE generally run at a relatively high throttle angle due to the constant load produced by the water. True, once you get the craft on plane, it is easier to maintain speed but overall there is a large load placed on the engine constantly. Oh, and the different materials used in the engines (brass, bronze, etc.) are used because they are non-sparking, and less likely to corrode, not because they are more durable.
Oh yeah, I forgot. As for engine durability, the Northstar is well designed but I don't recall seeing it doing too well in the actual competition.

Seeing the results of durability tests on hand-built pre-production models is impressive, and I think that track record only gets better in the real world. Yes, some engines have issues -- it's impossible to build a perfect engine that will never have defects, but it's getting closer as time goes on. I do think that the track record for the Northstar, being essentially a clean-slate design, is impressive. The reliability of, say, a 350 Chevy is pretty good because they've had 30 years to tweak and improve the design. The Northstars had a production run starting in about 1993 and continuing on to 2000, essentially unchanged. In 2000, they changed the combustion chambers and piston tops to effect a slightly lower compression ratio, enough to recommend straight 87-octane. For 2004, they're adding variable valve timing, on BOTH the intake and exhaust camshafts.
It's a world-class design that had to have the bugs worked out for sure. Caddys first high-compression V8 in 1949 probably wasn't stone reliable either. It takes time to see what the issues in the real world will be and how to improve them.
I don't know if I spoke to your comment or not...I just started rambling. What do you mean, "actual competition"?
There's an actual competition among factory (and non-factory) cars that just runs the cars flat-out on a banked track until they blow. I remember reading about it a couple years ago in a magazine. As I recall though, there weren't any Northstars there.
Oh, as far as the production engines vs. hand-built units. I agree that mass production of engines leads to greater consistancy BUT, that also means that if there's a flaw in the manufacturing process, you get a WHOLE LOT of engines with the same flaw. This is what has caused problems several times for Cadillac. I'll agree that IF the engines are built EXACTLY as designed, you'd have some great engines. The problem is making that happen. I remember a couple years ago, one specific issue was that the holes for the head bolts weren't drilled quite deep enough in the block. This in turn caused head bolt torque to be reached before proper head gasket clamping load was attained. Guess what that caused? How 'bout several THOUSAND Northstars with head gasket failures, broke-down Cadillacs on the roads, pissed-off customers, service bulletins, recalls, legal notices, etc. etc. etc.
So you can see how a TINY screw-up in manufacturing can keep a GREAT DESIGN from being a GREAT ENGINE.
Yeah, absolutely, the process has to be nailed down before production can start. I don't remember reading about that endurance run. If those other vehicles can run at redline for 300 hours, then I'd say that they've matched what the Northstar was designed and validated for.
I've also never heard of thousands of Northstars blowing head gaskets because of a manufacturing flaw. If there's an article somewhere, that'd be an interesting read. I know that mine's performed flawlessly for 112,000 miles. Only major thing has been an alternator. Recently, I think the water pump is starting to weep, so I need to change that, which I'm happy to do after working on my old Cutlass. Water pump change on that car was about a 4-6 hour job. On the Northstar, about 45-60 minutes, including draining the fluid.
After I get the water pump changed, I'm looking forward to the next 100,000 miles! I think low mileage is overrated anymore. The car with the least mileage we own is the Cadillac (112k). My Nissan truck has 173k and both vehicles run like brand new. Manufacturing and production have sure come a long way since a few decades ago. I remember when people would throw the car away (or at least change engines) at 90-100k.
Yeah, you're right. Today's car buyers/owners are spoiled. Cars last SO MUCH LONGER now than just back in the 80's let alone the 70's or earlier. Thank corriosion resistant metals and better finishes.

If I were to buy another 1911, I think I would buy a S&W. I had a Springfield TRP earlier this year, and I really wasn't that impressed w/ it compared to prev 1911s I have had. Then, when Tripp Research messed it up, I totally got fed up w/ it.
Anyway, at the time, it was a toss up between the TRP and a S&W. I did a lot of research on them - and while soemone, someplace will always have a neg comment. I saw the fewest complaints and the most happy comments on the S&W compared to some of the other competing brands.

Bees have been dealing with one problem after another for thousands of years and they are still here. When man interferes by adding chemicals and antibiotics, the bees do not develope the genetics to over come the problem and the problems (pick one, wax moth, SHB, Varroa, AFB, EFB) develop immunity from the things we throw at them. A lot of beeks say you have to treat for varroa or you will loose your hives over the winter. Back in the 1900', the wax moth was wiping out most of the hives. Today nobody treats for wax moths other than protecting stored drawn frames. Why is that? The bees have the genetics to protect the hives from the wax moth and they have learned to constantly remove them. I have read numerous times that you have to treat for varroa by very experienced beeks. This year I collected bees from feral stocks and with no treatment they have all survived the winter and are building up beautifully. 4 years ago, I could not find a bee on my farm if either I or the commercial beeks did not have the hives there. This past year when I did not have bees there nor any commercial bees, I would regularly see them collecting grass pollen in the mornings. Given a chance, the survivor bees figure it out and learn how to handle every thing we throw at them. Jim

You people don't sound like you are having any fun. Sorry to bother you. I'll look for answers elsewhere, because I don't think you have anything to contribute.

Brighton's Osa Masina suited up with the varsity and took the field, oozing with potential. At the ripe age of 14, he made the first tackle of the season under the glow of the stadium lights. On the next snap, he nabbed a second; then a third.
After a quick sideline, he took down three more.
Six tackles. Time clock: 7 minutes, 30 seconds left in the first quarter.
"We just looked at each other and all we could say was, 'Wow,' " Brighton coach Ryan Bullett said. "We knew he was talented, but we didn't realize how much."
It didn't take long for word to get out.
But Masina kept his nose to the ground, chalking up an impressive sophomore season before being sidelined in the playoff play-in game. He did it all, from running back to quarterback to linebacker to kickoff receiver.
"He had more touches than anybody," Bullett said. "The key this year will be keeping him healthy for when it matters most."
His final stat line: 108 carries for 706 yards and nine touchdowns, 37 tackles and 9 of 13 for three touchdowns as quarterback. A well-edited highlight reel backed up his impressive sophomore stat line.
Then the phone started to ring.
"It's been a bit overwhelming, but a lot of fun for everyone in my family," Masina said. "I'm just trying to enjoy it."
It helped that his brother, current Utah linebacker Uaea Masina, proved to be one of the top recruits in the state last year.
But Osa was rumored to be just as talented as, and even bigger than, his older brother. Coaches started to flock to Utah to see it for themselves.
According to Bullett, it only took one look at Masina's 6-foot-4, 210-pound frame and his footwork for Michigan coach Brady Hoke to put an offer on the table.
"And he only started lifting weights last year," Bullett said.
His list of suitors is growing even more quickly than his stature.
Masina visited a trio of Northwest schools last week: Washington, Oregon and Oregon State. He'll travel from coast to coast this summer, from Oregon to Notre Dame, and a handful of national-championship-caliber football programs in between. He holds offers from 10 schools: Utah, Brigham Young, Utah State, UCLA, Washington, Oregon, Michigan, Oklahoma, Wisconsin and Stanford.
Not bad for someone still a few weeks from a driver license.
"It still seems far away, but I know it'll be here before I know it," Masina said. "I'm just looking for a place where I can see myself living and going to class. I'm just looking for whatever fits me best."
Bullett hopes Masina will be able to narrow down the long list to a half-dozen within the next year, if only to reduce distractions.
"It's hard to focus on football, school and homework when you've got 40 guys still trying to chase you down," he said.
Masina, too, is doing his best to focus on the present.
"We have a great team this year, and our goal is to establish that we are here, competing for a state title," he said. "We've got all the pieces to make it happen."

Wojciech Szczesny admitted that Arsenal "didn't really turn up" in the first 15 minutes of Sunday's defeat to Aston Villa.
That's all the time it took for Darren Bent to score the goals that eventually condemned Arsène Wenger's side to their eighth loss of the season and hand Manchester City the initiative in the chase for third place and automatic Champions League qualification.
Szczesny had no chance with either of Bent's well-taken strikes - a balletic volley and a clinical low finish - and he accepts that the damage was done long before Arsenal found their rhythm at Emirates Stadium.
"It's very disappointing, especially the way we conceded the two goals," said the goalkeeper. "That is actually not the way we usually concede goals but Bent made a difference. He had two chances to score, scored both and he showed he is a very good finisher.
"I can't blame any of our players, we just looked like in the first 15 minutes of the game, or 20 minutes, that we didn't want to be there. It was weird.
"We showed good character to come back because when you are two down it is hard and your head is supposed to go down. In the second half we showed that we wanted to give our fans something to cheer about, and we can only apologise that it didn't happen.
"We were very disappointed to finish our home season in the way we did."
Having promised so much, Arsenal's season is limping to its conclusion. That's hard to take for the players and the fans but, all the same, Szczesny did not expect the Gunners to be so flat against Villa.
"Obviously we know we can't win the title anymore, so your head does start to go down, but you couldn't tell in the dressing room that there was a lack of attitude," he said. "I believe that all the players in our team do have a good attitude.
"I wanted to be there. I want to play for Arsenal, and every time I put on the Arsenal shirt I'm buzzing. It's disappointing, but I am trying to look at the positives as well, and we had a change in attitude after the second goal, which is good."
Arsenal's home form has effectively cost them the title - they have been beaten at the Emirates by Newcastle, Tottenham, West Brom and now Villa - and Szczesny knows that must improve next season. But he still believes third place is within Arsenal's grasp.
"It's not finished yet," he said. "If we win at Fulham then Manchester City can still drop points and I am still confident that we will get there."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

The University of St. Thomas' Dr. John Hittinger, professor of philosophy, joined 20 other scholars who are members of the Pontifical Academy of St. Thomas Aquinas, in Rome in June to discuss Aquinas' analysis of the Beatitudes, which included a visit with Pope Francis.
"Pope Francis requested we do a conference on the Beatitudes because that is a special interest to him," Hittinger said.
Pope Francis will reflect on the Beatitudes during World Youth Day 2016 in Krakow, Poland.
Hittinger presented an article addressing the second Beatitude, "Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth." His article was well received. Fernando Cardinal Sebastian Aguilar, the archbishop of Pamplona, particularly enjoyed Hittinger's article, and they spoke about it via a translator.
"He liked it because he agreed that there was a problem of anger in modern society," Hittinger said. "As a Bible scholar he had some great insights into the meaning of the phrase, 'The meek shall inherit the earth."
During his stay in Rome, Hittinger was afforded another opportunity to meet the Holy Father, Pope Francis. This is his second time meeting the Holy Father in as many years. They met him after the angelus in front of the Pope's residence.
Pope Francis made time to speak to each member individually.
"I blurted out, 'Papa Francisco, I love you!' He grabbed my hand and said 'Please pray for me,'" Hittinger said. "I looked in his eyes; he looked tired. He had a long schedule and had just met with the Italian Mafia telling them they were excommunicating themselves with their pursuit of evil."
Hittinger is a corresponding academician within the academy. As such, he is invited to participate in the work of the organization on an on-going basis. He also works with the Most Rev. Marcelo Sanchez Sorrondo, secretary prelate of the Pontifical Academy of St. Thomas Aquinas, to raise money for the purpose of facilitating travel for international members.
The Pontifical Academy of St. Thomas Aquinas' mission is to research into, defend and disseminate the doctrine of Aquinas, taking into account contemporary culture and tradition. A copy of Hittinger's talk can be found on his website, www.jp2forum.org.

I am not saying this applies to anyone here!A little thought tweaked through my mind the other day. I was thinking about how the 'extreme islamists' (I use little quotes because I don't think they're all that extreme in their own religion) hate Americans more than they love their own children. And then I thought about the Bush haters. They hate Bush more than they love this country. The parallel is frightening.I am not saying this applies to anyone here!
Jordan is sitting on more Palestinian land than Israel ever did
It is indeed sad that you blame the world's troubles on your own country and in particular on one man. Sad indeed. Just what the hell was Bush doing wrong when those airplanes hit the world trade center? Breathing? Your Liberal Guilt is showing through loud and clear.

A human tragedy continues unfolding in Kenya that was brought on by President Kibaki's blaltant stealing of the last election. According to Kenya's Standard newspaper, "most parts of the country were on the verge of paralysis last night as another 32 people were killed in a new wave of bloodletting." There are signs the entire nation is grinding to a halt as violence between tribal groups acclerates rather than declines. Fighting between tribal members has opened the door for thugs and criminals to use this cover in order to kill, rape, and steal. Two German tourists were killed and robbed by criminals. Kenya's Finance Minister, Amos Kimunya, has up to this point expressed some guarded optimism, but even he now admits the economy is headed for a major collapse unless the death and destruction can be halted. He noted damage done to tourism, a major source of revenue, will take months, if not years to reapair.
Trains, trucks and movement of goods has been slowed. Even neighboring nations are impacted since Kenya is the source of about 40% of the Sudan's supplies. City after city is witnessing people begin by protesting and wind up with looting and killing. The police and army appear unable to halt the devastation of this unleashed fury which up to this point in Kenya's history has never emerged. As chaos reigns in his nation, the only major concern of President Kibai is holding on to his position.
