What exactly is N6-furfuryladenine? It is a protein, originally derived in 1955 from herring sperm that had been autoclaved (basically baked in an incredibly hot oven). Really. I kid you not. It has also been found in most plants (it is considered a "phytohormone", aka- plant hormone), and in human cells.
Until the mid-1990's it was thought that Kinetin was anti-tumorigenic and that it inhibited growth. Then, someone discovered that it dramatically increases the life span of fruit flies by 65% (not a subtle increase), and retarded their aging by about 25%. Really! Suddenly it became a new "hot" item, and lots of people became to study these anti-aging effects. Over time, it's been found to increase the natural antioxidant activity within tissues like thymus (a big gland in your chest). Kinetin has been found to really affect the way fibroblasts within the dermis age. The fibroblasts retain their "younger" level of collagen production, reproduction of the fibroblasts themselves and their growth rate while in a petri dish. Their life span remains unaffected.
Has all of this amazing sounding research translated into big changes in the skin? Well, if this stuff was absolutely amazing it would be in every product on the market. And, I wouldn't still be telling you that only Retin A has been proven to really fight the signs of aging. There have been small clinical studies (sponsored by the company that used to own Kinerase) that showed that patients with photoaging did have mild improvement in skin texture, mottling and fine wrinkles. As well, moisture retention was improved. But, note that these changes weren't seen until after 24 weeks (6 months!) worth of twice a day application. But, there's a lot of stuff in the anti-aging world that we don't have a lot of evidence for yet, so I'm willing to try pretty much anything!
Complicating all of this even further is Kinetin's difficulty in dissolving into a liquid. It is incredibly picky, and will dissolve into ether, acetone, ethanol as well as some acids and bases, but not into distilled water. Which means that you can't add Kinetin to just anything, it has to be very carefully formulated for the Kinetin to work.
So, having said all of that, I decided to try this stuff out to see if it lived up to the hype. I tried the Kinerase Cream with SPF 30. I've said in the past that I have combination skin with occasional small break outs, so if anything I was worried that a cream would be way too hydrating for my skin.
I'm just going to come right out and say that I did not like this cream at all. It isn't silky during application (I think I'm a bit too used to silicone in my products), and it is difficult to spread evenly. It is not hydrating. Not one bit. I was left with dry and uncomfortable cheeks every day while using this creme. Worst of all, I had to stop using it within five days. I suddenly had large, cystic blemishes on my forehead, next to my nose and on my chin. I've never had blemishes like this before, and these appeared suddenly about two days after I started using the Kinerase.
It took my skin a full month to recover from five days of Kinerase! I have to say that this cream is definitely on my Do Not Recommend list.
If you would like to try Kinetin, but in a cheaper or alternative form, it is also available in lotions from Almay and The Body Shop.

Ancestry latest offering online is the England & Wales Criminal Records 1791 – 1892. A valuable collection for those of us with criminal ancestors and that would probably include all of us. This data set is a great help in identifying family who were transported to Australia and settled there once their term of imprisonment was completed.
The Press release from Ancestry states…………………..
The England & Wales Criminal Registers, 1791-1892– taken from 279 original paper volumes held at The National Archivesin Kew – document trials and sentences for crimes ranging from petty theft and fraud to the use of bad language and scrumping (stealing apples from orchards).
Each register includes details of the crime, the full name and date of birth of the accused, the location of the trial and the judgment passed. During this period, almost two in three tried for their crimes received sentences of imprisonment and almost one in 10 were either transported overseas or sentenced to death.
In total, the England & Wales Criminal Registers, 1791-1892 documents:
900,000 sentences of imprisonment – 65% of those who went to trial during this time ended up serving a prison sentence
97,000 transportations – many criminals who received death sentences had their sentence commuted to transportation as judges became increasingly 'lenient'
10,300 executions – including a boy aged just 14.
The collection also documents the brutal period of English history infamously known as the 'Bloody Code' – so called due to the large number of crimes made punishable by death as the authorities sought to deter potential offenders. Famous names in the collection include Jack the Ripper suspect Dr Neill Cream, the inept highwayman George Lyon and Queen Victoria's 'would be' assassin Roderick McLean.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Not with leaving him outside, but I have forgotten to feed him once.. I was going to bed and he kept stalling to leave the living room and kinda looking near his feeding area and it dawned on me that I hadn't fed him that night! I felt terrible! and even if I can't think of it, I am sure there are plenty other "oopses" I have done.
We all do things like that. I hope you have fogiven yourself and can now smile at it, because she was fine and no harm done..
|Mister C
|Don't feel so bad. I did this once. I let out our flat coat retriever, Schmoe, many years ago and then got distracted by various things. A couple of hours later my wife asks me where the dog is. Oh no! I opened the front door and there she was laying just outside the door. She seemed a little grumpy but got over it quickly. I felt so bad for so long...
|I did that one time too when I had 3 german shepherds. I let them out to go potty and was so tired after working a 12 hour day I let them in and went to sleep. I jerked awake about 2 hours later trying to figure out what was wrong. I started counting heads and realized Dizan wasn't in the house. I went racing to the back door and jerked it open and there he sat on the porch looking at me and panting like mad so he must have had a good time. LOL
|I left my dog out a couple of days ago, in the heat (90+) and with no water (at least no water that I put out there for him, there may have been water in a bowl that was left out there), I felt so horrible I cried and hugged on him for an hour. Thankfully there was shade back there and at least he is white. My son's dad gave me a 'look' when I got home and he asked me if I had left him out or not. Then the very next day he did the same thing, I had to leave my son's play practice to go check on him, thankfully (?) he also didnt' close the back door tightly and so Zeph was able to go in and out, but so did the flies and my AC. I was livid LOL
Awwww think of it as a reminder to double check the head count. Alls well that ends well.
I have had a problem of misplacing our little Aussie. She has a habit of following me around, always being the inquisitive little one. I will go into a room that we keep closed up to get something, closing the door behind me as I leave the room. She is very quiet and smallish so I've not noticed her slip in with me a time or two and I closed the door as she was still 'investigating' the room.
Then a couple hours later I will notice that I've not seen her for awhile. The first time this happened I panicked thinking I had left her outside. I run out the door hollering for her, I'm sure the neighbors think I'm nuts. It's a heart racing, hand shaking, OMG panic because she has a good recall and did not come running.
Eventually I figured out what happened. She will just wait patiently and silently by the door until I find her.
Now I make sure to check if she's in a room first before closing the door.
I love her curious nature but boy I do have to keep an eye on that one.
I have forgotten both of my dogs now.
I left Sinister outside for an hour, while it was raining.
Last Sunday morning, my Irish man was over and we were sleeping and I was so exhausted, Draven woke me up at 3am because he wanted to go out, then he woke me up at 5am because he wanted to be fed and then he woke me up again at 6am because he was bored and wanted to be up, so I put him outside and went back to bed. I woke up to the sound of him howling at 9am!
I don't like to leave my dogs outside alone in my neighborhood because it's not a safe place so both times I felt TERRIBLE.
|Don't worry. My dogs outside all night. He loves it. Sometimes I catch him playing the most weird games by him self. His not a sleeper and so bored inside when by himself. Like yours doesn't bark or isn't bothered by the dark.
Aw. Hey everyone makes mistakes once in a while. You have quite the pack to keep up with! Yeah it may have been out of the ordinary for her, but like selzer said..she may have actually enjoyed it a bit BC it was different. You never know. The fact that she never barked or whined means it couldn't have been TOO bad!!
Don't beat yourself up, we all have 'blonde' moments sometimes...
|Awwww! I can totally empathize with what you are feeling. I used to wake up when Cyclone or Gunther had to go out at 5 am, let them out and leave the big door open and go lay down on the couch to wait for them to bark or scratch the door. Once I fell asleep and wound up letting them in 5 hours later. SAME feelings, just a little less.
|I once did something similar with a kid....long story, but it ended well....live and learn! Must be something about northern Illinois!

700r4 lost 3rd gear
My 700R4 lost third gear on friday when I shifted at WOT. The trans was custom built 28,000miles ago to survive behind my 450HP small block. I was running it down Woodburn dragstrip when the failure occurred. The first time it engaged third, then went neutral. The second try, there was no third gear. I limped it home the 1.5 miles in second. Besides the 3-4 clutch pack that I understand is a weak link, what other parts might have failed to cause this? What other parts might need to be upgraded to prevent future failures. BTW, I upshift at 6,500rpm.
ASE Doc.. I moved your post to a new thread for answers to your problem and not confuse members with 2 questions in one thread.
Your loss of 3rd gear is as you suspect... the 3-4 clutch pack burned up is what I think happened.
Dont worry how old you are... it is the mileage on your body that adds up.
Thatnks for your reply Crossley. My main concern is that this trans was built to withstand hard use behind my engine. I damaged third gear components twice and had to have the trans redone each time until they finally got it right and it held for 13 years. I want to take any and all steps available to be sure that this trans will hold up in the future.
I love my car and I try not to abuse her too much. Friday was her first trip to the dragstrip. I was so pleased with how she accelerated, then no third gear. Now I'm heartbroken that I broke her. I already spoke with the guy that built the trans before. He wants $1,500 to up date the unit with the latest hi strength parts. It's a good price but i just don't have it to spend right now. I'm a master mechanic but I specialize in engines and electronic controls. I have little experience with automatic transmissions. However, I've been studying and I think I can handle this okay. Plus, I need to get over my reluctance with these things and I hate having a part in my car that I didn't build myself. I worked with a great trans builder for 2 years and we did some hi HP 4L60s. I remember what was done to beef those up, like one sided clutches, 5 pinion planets and hardened reaction drum.
I just want to be sure I have this straight before I go into the unit. The upside is that the fluid still looks good so I don't think I smoked things too bad. The trans shifts perfectly withy its current valve body tuning. It is set up for auto/manual shifting and holds every gear to 6,800rpm. It also holds overdrive at full throttle above 80mph. Therefore, I don't need to worry too much about the valve body, beyond cleaning and checking. I will check out the pump, all bushings and thrust washers, and replace all seals. If there is anything else you can can think of, please let me know.
The Alto Red Eagles or better Raybestos Blue Plate Specials #RCPBP-04 handle abuse much better than the single sided Z-Pack 3-4 clutches.
Hi SS, thanks for responding. I have been doing alot of research and I have found that exact thing. The Red Eagles or Blue Plates with full thickness steels hold up better under heavy use. I know that the guys who built this trans in 1999 found some way to get 3rd gear to stay together. well enough that it lasted this long. I will find out what they did when I tear it down in the next few weeks.
In my research I have learned that there may be no lasting method for building the 3-4 clutch using the factory input drum. The backing plate just flexes way too much and under high pressure, the snap ring can pop out. Sonnax offers a redesigned part called the "Smart Tech" input drum that does away with the snap ring and flimsy backing plate, replacing it with a much more sturdy and flex free bolt on backing plate. The part sells for $500 so it's not a cheap fix but it seems like it will hold up alot longer. Have you checked out the PATC website? Also, how hard is it swap out the turbine shaft from one input drum to another? It seems like it might be tough. I never even considered it a possibility before. The Smart Tech comes without a turbine shaft.
The Smart Tech Drum is overkill for what you have.
The reinforcement kit would most likely do.
This includes a Hardened Input Shaft.
Chris >> www.CKPerformance.com
Dana >> https://www.700r4l60e.com/store/home.php?cat=19
A Hyd. Press is needed to swap the Input Shaft.
|The Following User Says Thank You to SSedan64 For This Useful Post:
ASE Doc (09-27-2012)
Thanks for the great information. That is a good price on the reinforced input drum with billet shaft. I'm still concerned though about taking out my 3-4 clutches. Obviously, you have experience with the units. Do you really think I can keep my 3-4 clutch together with the factory design? I know my power level isn't that high. I'm just worried about the high rev shift points. I plan on building another engine in the next few years that will make 600+HP. It will be a high rev engine too, likely peak power at 7,000. I'm afraid that I'll keep taking out 3rd gear every few years and I'd rather spend the extra$$ now to prevent that. I do however love the idea of saving $100s. Eventually, once I build the new motor, I know I'll need to completely redo the trans.
I figured it would take a hyd press to R&I the shaft. We have a 20ton at the shop but it is a pile and the frame has been sprung so that the ram is is crooked. If need be, I could have a good machinist do the swap for me. Of course, if I go with the drum and shaft from CK, I don't have to worry about that.
Another question: what is the real difference between split turbine shaft sealing rings and the solid white teflon rings? Is the solid ring really better than the split ring? The solid takes a special tool to install.
With that HP & RPM you'll need more upgrades.
Are you using the Hi-Rev 3-4 release springs?
May want to upgrade the Output Shaft aswell, 4L65E, Cryoed or Billet shaft.
You should talk with Dana about your goals/plans, parts you're thinking of using and see what He thinks will be needed. He specializes in the 700R4/4L60,60E,65E,70E.
These have detailed kit Info: 87-93 models; 82-86 kits also available.

Yes, PATC has a very nice site for parts.
700R4 Parts List at PATC Raptor Transmissions
I hadn't seen the single sided Red Eagles before now. I've also noticed many Builders using the Hi-Energy clutches.
The solid Teflon seals are much better when running higher pressures & handle heat better.
Some Info >> 700R4 Parts List at PATC Raptor Transmissions
You can use pieces of Mylar, Plastic bottle etc.. & Hose clamps to shrink/resize the Solid Teflon seals instead of buying the fancy tools.
The Low/Reverse tool is worth buying or making. About $30 on Evilbay.
Im not sure what went into the trans as it sits. I know that I had trouble with 3rd gear and the guys had to redo the trans three times over a one year period to make it hold up. I hate customers who pretend that they don't thrash on their cars and them blame the tech for repeated failures. I was dead honest with the people who built this trans. I took the lead guy for a ride to show him what kind of power I was making and how I want it to shift.
They built the trans to hold every gear to 6,500, hold 4th gear at full throttle, and to last without failure. I would imagine they had to install the rev kit. I'm also thinking about the rapid relief valve. I do sometimes down shift from 3rd to 2nd at higher speeds. I worry that I may have shortened the 3-4 clutch pack's life by dragging the clutches on this downshift. Maybe not. I would think that this would be evident by burning of the 2-4 band.
The plastic bottle material sounds like a great idea for installing the teflon no split rings. At this point, Im not thinking of a total overhaul but rather just fixing 3rd gear, correcting the crash shift into 2nd, and upgrading the 2-4 servos. The trans only has 28,000 miles on it and the fluid is not burned. If I tear the unit down and find things to be worse than I expected, I may have to rethink this. I plan to disassemble the pump and the forward clutches for inspection. I'll also look for any damage to the 2-4 band and replace that with the wide band and new drum if needed.
Im doing some side work this weekend for extra funds to go toward this project. The money was going to go towards extra payments on my new Snap On Solus Ultra scan tool(trying to pay it off as quick as possible to save on interest). Now, my priorities have changed. I'll put my Beasty on the lift Sunday and start pulling the trans. I'm going to take my time so may not have the trans torn down til next weekend. Then I'll make my parts list. I may have more questions at that point too.
Thank you very much for your help so far.
You're most likely correct about the Rev kit, I'm sure they did something.
On the 3-2 downshift, the 3/4 clutches disengage & the 2/4 Band, Forward & Overrun clutches are engaged. Engine/Compression braking is done by the Overrun clutches.
You can do a pressure check to get an idea of the Pump's condition, it may be fine.
I recommend the Alto Carbon 2/4 Band if you upgrade.
Is the 2nd gear crash/bang on the 1-2 upshift?
May be orifice in Sep. Plate too large or Accumulator problem.
I have a Billet Servo, can't remember if it's 2nd & 4th servos or just 1 servo. I got with some other parts I bought a while back. I'll send you a PM if I can find it, I honestly don't remember what I did with it.
Thanks again for your help.
I have a 400 psi gauge around here somewhere or I'll buy a new one. At one time or another I think I've owned every tool ever made. It's keeping track of the ones I don't use very much that's tricky. I plan on going into the pump to check for scoring or just wear of the cover and housing. I also want to be sure the vanes are all good. Then, once I know the pump is healthy, I'll swap in the high rev priming spring. I assume it's a 10 vane. Pretty sure the 13 vanes weren't around back then.
As far as the harsh 1-2 shift goes, I'm pretty sure the builder used the TransGo method of the time, which is removing the 1-2 accumulator spring and installing from 1 to 3 washers instead to set 1-2 shift "firmness". With high pump pressure this translates into a crash bang 1-2 shift at low speeds. PATC talks about this and they offer a heavy 1-2 accumulator spring which they claim will reduce the harshness. They recommend the Superior/Fairbanks servo to ensure solid band engagement. I've been looking at this servo and the Sonnax billet servo. They each have advantages and weren't available when this trans was built. My trans may have the Art Carr billet servo now. We talked about it when the trans was being built. If you come across the billet servo you have, I'll take a look at it. I like the idea of the wide carbonite band. I want to find the funds to include it, with a new reverse input shell, in this repair.
I'm waiting to see the damage in the trans to decide which way to go with the repair. If the damage is isolated to the 3-4 clutches. I'll focus on that and maybe upgrade the 2-4 band and address a few other little issues. I may go with the overkill Smart Drum just because it's a long term solution to the 3-4 clutch problem($500, ouch). I am worried about the process of swapping turbine shafts. It may be worth it to pay a machinist to do the job for me. I'm thinking that if a had an oven set up close by the press, I could heat the drum up and then the shaft would slide in much easier. I'm not sure if the locktight green would agree with the heat though.
Once I save up the funds, I'll swap in a hardened billet turbine shaft and be done with it. If the 3-4 snap ring has popped out, this will help me with that decision. Do you know where I can get a good input shaft(no drum), besides PATC where they want $534 for it.
You can put the Shaft in the freezer to shrink it & not heat the Drum as much.
CK Performance used to have 4340 or 300M Billet Input Shafts, not sure if He does anymore tho'.
You can check with Lonnie at Extreme Automatics. He may have them or know where to get one.

GM 700R4 / 4L60 TRANSMISSION INPUT SHAFT - BILLET 300M HARDENED STEEL | eBay
Transmission shafts - High performance transmission - transmission
Have to make sure what Yr. model these fit.
So, I found an input shaft. Right there on PATC's website too. Just had to look for it a little. They have two choices, besides the $534 300M steel shaft. One is the factory 4L65E shaft at $59. It's heat treated from the factory and is stronger than the OE 700R4 piece. Then they have the 4L65E shaft that has been put through an additional hardening process for even higher torque capacity(580ftlbs). At $89, it's a pretty decent value. This saves me from having to reuse the factory input shaft with the Smart Tech drum.
Wow, The internet is such an awesome thing. 13 years ago when I tried to work on my own trans, there was almost no information available. There were books but unless you know where to look, it's hard to find good publications like ATSG offers. In 1999, when I first visited the idea of building a beefy 700R4, a local trans shop told me there was no way to beef up a 700R4 and that I should just go with a TH350 or 400. Glad I didn't take his advice.
Today, armed with the understanding that I have developed from alot of hours of research, I feel very confident in repairing this transmission.
4L65E shafts are different than 700R4 shafts, other parts would also need to be changed.
Mid Pg. >> 700R4, 700 Raptor Transmission from PATC, 700R4 4L60E 48RE 4L80E
Thanks for your reply. I see what you mean about the shafts being different. The links you gave me do show much better prices on the 300M shafts. They're still a little pricy though. I see though that GM released the heat treated shafts for the 4L65. They didn't release anything like that for the 700R4. Therefore, I may have no option but to use the 300M shaft if I want to install a hardened shaft. The turbine shaft that's in the trans now has obviously held up to the motor. What I'm thinking though is that I don't want to put the OE shaft in the Smart Tech drum, just to have to replace it later when I build a stronger motor. To use the 4L65E shaft, what other parts would need to be changed?

|Topic Review (Newest First)
It's safe enough to go up on a chair... make sure the halyard looks up to the task. The biggest problem with little boats is finding enough winch power to haul someone up. Set up another halyard along the mast (preferably rope) so you can pull yourself up and help yourself along. It will be noticeably less stable than the 42 footer up there.
If your sailbags all have a Thunderbird insignia, they may well be from a former sailmaker by that name, rather than meant for a Thunderbird 26. They (Thunderbird sails) were around back in the day. I suspect that you probably have Thunderbird sails, rather than a sail for a Thunderbird..... if you get what I mean!
Uh oh, looks like we might be in trouble as we don't have a kite to fly! and are sporting some tired sails And YOUR boat looks like a bullet!

Oh man, I have been plauged by this question as well! I have actually climbed half way up the mast using my climbing harness and slings (didn't get winched up a halyard) and that was enough of a struggle! I really don't want to drop the mast, but now it looks like our steaming light has finally packed it in
If you have any quick fixes, pending approval from the boss (girlfriend), the gf's suite balcony overhangs deep water that with the right jockeying and the right tide, is at masthead height (or at least the landlords above is at mid-tide when there is more water). I have also snuck onto the neighbours pier in the dark to replace the bulb in the steaming light :lol:
I assume the sails are from a Thunderbird - I don't think they still have the T-bird insignia on the sail, but all the bags still have it on them. As I said above, it seems big for the space. However, with the adjustable boom height, perhaps we can make it fit. Is there any disadvantage to pulling the boom down lower? It looks like there's still about 10 inches to the top of the mast from the head of the sail when it's as snug as I can get it. I hope that will be enough to pull it up, but I'm starting to doubt that.

Did you say it was a sail of a Thunderbird? Best info I can find is that your "P" meas is 30 vs the Tbird's 31 (thats the length of the main along the mast, btw.)
If the sail hasn't been modified that could be your problem right there.
Get yourself a 50' tape measure and check it out....

We all miss the obvious now and then.
Well, we really didn't have a lot of choice - she had to be brought home soon, as the previous owner (Ahh! how nice to be able to say that instead of current owner!) needed his slip. It was either take her home in the cold (but fair winds) or leave her on transient moorage at easy 50$ a night and quickly eat through any savings we may have made on her. Plus, there's something to be said for pushing yourself - I wonder how much of a mental block it would have created if we'd told ourselves "no, we should wait. It's too rough/cold out today." That would linger in the back of our minds, likely making us hesitant to attempt another roughish crossing. It always amazes me how much of a drogue the "I can't do it" mindset can be...
If only our sail problem could be resolved so easily! The vang was loose, as were the main sheets and pseudo-cunningham. We were pointed dead into the wind, so it wasn't filled as we hoisted. We have the engine off for some much needed TLC (though she ran like a champ! A bit rough to start, but got us the ~70nm home without stalling or anything!) but we'll try to hoist this weekend and see what exactly is going on.
As for the other sails, I'm thrilled with the funny dual-track jib-hoist system (apart from her tendency to flap in the wind while on the hook, and her one jagged edge which tore a hole in my down vest ) I've never used one before. Apparently, the idea is to be able to drop one sail while hoisting the second. However, the tracks seem to be different sizes? A lot less work than hanking, and much quicker to boot.
I'm very interested in seeing how she compares to the San Juan 24'! That was one of the other boats we'd considered. Apparently, she was designed as a competitor (read: to be a touch faster!) than the San Juan. Give us a few months to coax her back to health, and for me to teach the boy (and admitedly, fully remind myself!) how to sail spin, and we'll challenge you to a Sailnet Battle of the Classes sail-off
Nice pics!

Which means I'm at the mast standing on a very slanty (icy?) deck pulling on a halyard which refuses to go up any further, as it simply stretches. *sigh* We can't seem to get the sail up high enough, leaving the boom with a rather severe downward angle.
In short, we're thrilled, even if we realize how much of a project boat she truly is going to be.
I couldn't help thinking about your stretched halyard dilema. This may not be your case but it happened to me in my first season. I had a similar problem in that I could not get the mainsail all the way up the mast. I thought something was hanging it up in the slugs or perhaps blockage in the mast track, but try as I did the stupid thing just would not go all the way up and the boom was hanging on a slant downwards. So I finally sat down right there at the mast base to ponder my situation and when my eyes glanced along the boom to the boom vang I saw the vang was pulled in real tight and holding the boom down thereby holding the leach of the mainsail tight. No wonder the stupid sail woulddn't go all the way up. So I loosened the vang and the mainsheet as well, then up went the mainsail all the way to the top. DoH, I was a beginner so I did not realize the problem immediately but I have since come across the odd newbie suffering the same experience as me and was able to point out the problem, after which they got a good laugh. It was probably too cold for you to sit out there to troubleshoot the situation but by now you may have already figured it out.
Enjoy your new to you boat, they are wonderful toys, and the $$spending never stops.
|Congrats Serah. Post photos when you can.
Congrats on the safe delivery Sarah! Good to see some more sailers that aren't scared of the chills.
We'll have to have a little 24 footer race in the arm We'll definitely keep an eye out for Samurai... If the wind is blowing, there is always a good chance you'll see Troika the San Juan 24 out there keeping the bottom clean.
FYI: http://www.deepcoveyc.com/downloads/RaceSch08and09.xls They are keen to have more boats racing with them; we are going to jump into our first season this year!
Well, it wasn't that cold... apparently, it was only -14C with the wind chill yesterday.
And, she's remarkably non-drafty down below. Some decent hatch tape on the forward hatch (we took on some water as we plowed through a couple of the 2+ m waves) should fix that. Luckily, we'd anticipated that, and had a tarp down over our kit.
We'll be down tomorrow night again to start the other projects. If we can raise the main while at the dock, I'll snap a few and ask questions. I think part of it is that the main simply seems too big (it's from a Thunderbird). I'll take a tape measure and do IPJE and all the others sometime soon. Even with a loose outhaul (which currently doesn't work at all ) there's not much space at the end of the boom to haul it out. The boom height is adjustable, which helped when we hoisted the second time. I hope most of it is that ridiculous halyard, and hence not enough tension in the roach/leech.

What are specific treatment plans for cerebral palsy?
After the initial evaluation, specific treatment plans are outlined for each child:
Seizure medication
If the child has seizures, the treatment is based on the type and frequency of the seizures. Complete seizure control can often be achieved using a single medication, but some children with cerebral palsy have particularly difficult-to-control seizures. Medication can have side effects affecting the brain, ranging from sedation to hyperactivity. They can also affect liver function, white and red blood cells, and bone metabolism. Side effects are usually not harmful and resolve when the offending medication is discontinued. The goal of the treating physician should be for the child to become seizure free with few or no side effects. It must be noted that it is of no benefit to the child to be seizure-free but significantly impaired by medication side effects.
Medications for spasticity: The treatment of spasticity can involve multiple health professionals. Treatments involve the use of medications and surgical procedures to decrease the spasticity, facilitate movement, and prevent contractions. Among the most common medications are dantrolene sodium (Dantrium) and diazepam (Valium). Diazepam is both a muscle relaxant and a sedative. Baclofen (Lioresal) can be taken by mouth or infused continuously with an implanted pump (intrathecal infusion) directly in the cerebrospinal fluid (the liquid that bathe the spinal cord and the brain). This treatment might be specifically useful for patients with spasticity in the lower legs. The most common complications with these medications are drowsiness, sleepiness, and some degree of weakness. The sedative side effects of such medications often limit their usefulness. In the case of the baclofen pump the most common complication seen in a small number of patients is the infection of the catheter. Additionally, a muscle relaxing agent called botulinum toxin can be injected into tight muscles to relax them. When used prudently, this procedure may prevent surgical intervention.
Surgery for spasticity: In the case of severe muscle spasticity, surgery may be a valuable option. Tendon release procedures, usually performed by an orthopedic surgeon, allow improved range of motion in some cases. Such procedures are usually performed on the muscles of the calf or inner thigh. A less commonly used procedure, is the dorsal rhizotomy. During this operation, the surgeon cuts some of the nerve roots that send sensory information from the muscles to the spinal cord and brain. This procedure relieves some of the spasticity and thereby helps the child walk with a more normal gait. Most neurosurgeons performing dorsal rhizotomies very carefully select only those patients whom they feel may be helped by the surgery. From time to time, other surgical interventions are required in children with cerebral palsy. In very rare cases of choreoathetoid cerebral palsy, in which the writhing movements severely limit the ability of the child to function, highly selective neurosurgical techniques can curtail these movements without significantly harming other functions.
Other surgical procedures
Ophthalmologists (eye specialists) can help strabismus by operating on the muscles that control the movement of the eye or to correct some other complications such as cataracts.
Neurosurgeons can treat intractable seizure control. Operations such as callosotomy, hemispherectomy, and focal resections of areas of abnormal brain tissue responsible for the seizures, might be indicated in some cases. An alternative procedure for the treatment of epilepsy is the vagal nerve stimulation, an implantable device, that can be useful in selected patients with difficult to control seizures.
Scoliosis, or curvature of the spine, is often the result of severe hypotonia. This condition can create discomfort for the patient and difficulty for caregivers in performing the activities of daily living. Furthermore, severe scoliosis may actually restrict a patient's ability to breathe. Several surgical procedures are available in specialized centers for the correction of scoliosis.
Children who are unable to take adequate calories by mouth may require the placement of a feeding gastrostomy tube (PEG tubes) directly into the stomach.
The treatment of spasticity can involve multiple allied health care professionals. Physical and occupational therapists play an important role.
Physical therapy: The extent of physical therapy depends on the degree of spasticity, hypotonia, and motor impairment. The main therapeutic effect of physical therapy is maintaining range of motion at the joints, thereby preventing contractures. Some scientists and therapists feel that physical therapy actually helps maintain the connections in the brain, although this is controversial. Other skills, such as improved gait, stance, and balance can be helped by physical therapy. A strong, proactive physical therapy program greatly aids in the life of a child with cerebral palsy.
Occupational therapy: Occupational therapy assists children with the skills needed for day-to-day life in school and at home, including eating, writing, and work skills. In early infancy, occupational therapists can provide assistance in feeding a child with a poor or uncoordinated sucking response.
Speech therapy: Speech and language pathologists are involved with the development and improvement of speech production. Using different techniques the speech pathologist helps to improve the quality and the quantity of the speech production. The role of these specialists is not limited to speech production alone, but they also teach the patients other communication techniques (sign language, use of communication boards) to facilitate the communication abilities.
Medical care
Medical care of children with cerebral palsy is often seriously hampered by the inability of the child to communicate his or her needs and sensations. Relatively common childhood illnesses in children with cerebral palsy, such as ear infections, urinary tract infections, and appendicitis, which are easily treatable in most children, may prove to be life-threatening due to delayed recognition on the part of caregivers and physicians. Each child with cerebral palsy should have a primary care professional that is experienced with the special medical needs of affected children.
Because physicians have offered limited hope in curing cerebral palsy, many families have turned to alternative methods in the treatment of their children. Such therapies may include diets, herbal remedies, aromas, play with animals, and hyperbaric oxygen. The scientific evidence supporting the use of diets is inadequate. Some of them such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which is delivered in specialized centers, can be quite expensive and has not been scientifically proven to help children with cerebral palsy. Other remedies must be investigated on a case-by-case basis. Hopefully, the family of the affected child will be able to approach their physician regarding these alternative treatments.

Keystone decision already endangering Dem Senate seats
posted at 10:07 am on January 26, 2012 by Jazz Shaw
We've already seen more than a little speculation over what Barack Obama's rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline and its associated jobs will do to his own reelection chances this fall. (All energy based protestations during the SOTU aside…) But what about the effect on the down-ticket contests? Surely those who sided with him on the issue might find themselves paying a price as well, no? There are some early indications in a few hotly contested races that this may well be the case.
In Missouri, Sen. Claire McCaskill is facing a tough bid to stay in office and critics are already noting the somewhat tepid, conditional support which she has shown for Keystone.
Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., reaffirming her earlier comments that give conditional support to the Keystone XL, said in a statement Wednesday:
"I support the pipeline. It should be built, and it should be built in a thoughtful and responsible manner, not based on a political timetable."
U.S. Rep. Sam Graves, R-Tarkio, chairman of the House Small Business Committee, said:
"With an unemployment rate above 8 percent and an underemployment rate of 15 percent, I am completely bewildered at why this administration has decided to reject a true shovel-ready project that will create 20,000 direct jobs and about 118,000 spin-off jobs, many of them through small businesses."
In Virginia, George Allen is back, and he's going after the Keystone issue with a vengeance as he seeks their open Senate seat this fall. In fact, he's already put out a new TV ad going after Tim Kaine.
Republican George Allen is quickly turning President Obama's decision not to approve a controversial oil pipeline into a talking point in Virginia's open U.S. Senate race.
Allen is out with a new web video ripping Democrat Tim Kaine for siding with Obama on the Keystone XL oil pipeline, hoping to point out that this is a growing trend on the campaign trail.
The video, titled "unabashed," is 75 seconds and is a montage of newspaper clips and footage critical of both Obama's decision and Kaine's support. Like other anti-Kaine videos in recent months, it also shows footage of a speech in which the Democrat said he was an "unabashed supporter of the president."
Those aren't the only places, and in some cases, even Democrats who openly supported the pipeline are feeling the sting. In Montana, Jon Tester has been in favor of the project, but Denny Rehberg has still been tying him to it in public statements by referring to "Tester's allies in the Obama administration" when discussing the lost jobs and opportunities. It's hard enough to elect a Democrat in Montana as it is, and Tester certainly can't welcome that sort of association.
The GOP doesn't need very many seats to wrest control of the Senate away from the Democrats, no matter who wins the White House in November. As long as unemployment remains unacceptably high, expect Keystone to be a major bone of contention over the summer and to resonate in congressional races.

South Asia is a Key Market for National Carrier now flying 93 times weekly into region
Subang, 23 May 2013: Malaysia Airlines is increasing its frequency from Kuala Lumpur into Mumbai to12 times weekly effective 3 June 2013. Following greater demand from the market, one additional service will be made to the current daytime schedule of services put in by the national carrier since September 2012. Starting June 2013, daytime services from Kuala Lumpur to Mumbai on flight MH174 depart every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Monday is the new day in the schedule.
MH174 departs Kuala Lumpur at 9.20am and arrives in Mumbai at 11.45am. It returns as flight MH 175 the same day, departing Mumbai at 12:40pm, arriving Kuala Lumpur at 8.20pm.
Malaysia Airlines Director of Commercial, Dr. Hugh Dunleavy, said, "South Asia, especially India, is a key market to Malaysia Airlines and we continuously strive to enhance our guests' experience on-board. We are deploying our newest B738 aircraft on this route to bring the comfort level of guests to a higher level."
"New aircraft with modern interiors, great in-flight entertainment, and authentic Indian in-flight cuisine adds to our special 'Malaysian Hospitality' delivered by our award-winning crew. Competitive pricing plus 30kg of checked-in baggage for Economy and 40kg for Business Class makes Malaysia Airlines an excellent choice to travel to the Indian sub-continent. It's a winning proposition for our guests." He added further.
Collaboration between Malaysia Airlines and the Taj Group of Hotels of India inked last year, presents traditional and popular Indian regional signature dishes. These have been incorporated into Malaysia Airlines' in-flight menu to give passengers an authentic and exquisite taste of Indian gastronomic delight even before they arrive in India.
Given the timings of the daytime flights, customers avoid wasting time on travel and arrive early in the day, at 11.45am into Mumbai. This gives them extra time to spend in the city of dreams. The daytime frequencies have also improved Malaysia Airlines' connectivity to and from Australia, New Zealand and other ASEAN points .
South Asian routes have been of primary interest to Malaysia Airlines for a long time. It flies direct 93 times weekly to cities across South Asia namely New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Dhaka, Colombo, Male, and Kathmandu.
Customers can book their travel on Malaysia Airlines through all distribution channels -www.malaysiaairlines.com, Malaysia Airlines 24 hours toll free number 1 300 88 3000, MHBuddy in Malaysia Airlines Facebook, MHmobile, Malaysia Airlines ticket offices and appointed agents throughout Malaysia.

Yeah, but imagine your primered helmet. It's totally grey. You take your dremel to it and chop the T out and you're left with 2 dark green edges on the inside of the T.
What I'm doing is rip out the T, then paint, then install the visor. May have to touch up a bit here and there, but IMO that's the easiest way compared to the alternatives.
Having said that, It depends on your bucket. I think I'm quite lucky in having a DP97 that accepted some shape changes (flair and dome) and kept them nicely, even with the visor having now been out for a couple of months. I have heard tell of those 97's that spring back to the crappy flat-head, no flair shape if you leave it without a visor for more than a day or two. I guess it depends on how easy you found re-shaping it.
Trial and error is prob the way to go, so you find a system that works for you.
Good luck.
I cut my visor out first, then hot glued two pieces of scrap plastic on the inside of the visor area(making sure to keep the same shape and distance in the cut out)then went ahead and primed and painted. When I finished painting I popped out the pieces pulled off the hot glue and installed the visor. Be sure not to use a high temp glue though, I used a multi-temp for that purpose.
Yeah, I definately think you will be further ahead to cut out you visor before painting. Also, make shure you have the desired fit, but don't glue that sucker in till you are satisfied w/ you paint. I cut my 96 DP out & glued it in w/ epoxy, then painted. My paint job turned out pretty crappy so I decided to re-do it. Sanding aroud parts of the visor area is a pain in the butt, especially w/ a visor in place. If you are going for the quicker method, My advice is, cut out your old visor area, trim your visor till you get a "fit" that you are happy w/ then paint before you install the new visor. Probably the best method, is to rig up some kind of a mounting system w/ screws, so you can remove your visor at will. that way you can have everything set up the way you want, then remove the visor, paint, then re-install the visor. If you arent happy w/ something its pretty easy to re-sand & re-paint your bucket. Also, I think its generally agreed that the original helmet had a screw mount system. I know its alot of extra screwin around, but thats what I plan on doin w/ mine when I get my new bucket. that way, even if you screw up, its easy to just remove your visor, & re-do everything. Hope that gives ya some ideas. :)
I don't have a choice! :(
I have a fiberglass helmet which was already painted by the maker and I am in the process of rear mounting a visor to it with minimal damage to the paint. So far I have the rough shape cut out with no damage, so now starts the sanding work. FB helmets are harder than I thought...The visor area is thick and the dust get everywhere!!!!! lol
I do think it's easier to install the visor before the paintjob, just in case there is damage. I just don't have a choice, lol
I'd have to go with the "visor out first" method, it's just better that way.
That's the way I've done mine.
wow...dats a ot of feed back and sure was handy!
so i guess i'lll get the visor out first.
I think mine will not warp as much, its in a adecent shape since i bought it, maybe some pics will help...
sorrie, the pics cannot be linked externally, so click away!!
had the vents done, and u could see the bucket is in pretty good shape,(at least dats what i think!)
and for the screw on the right cheeck should be filed away for a jango right..??
Well I painted mine first simply because I didn't have the supplies to replace the visor.
Oh and the links aren't working for us. :facepalm
hmm...the server sucks..hehe..
any way, i went to ask arnd, and this guy who works at the model shop said it was ok to skip the primer stage....i was a bit confused, as most of u strongly advise a prime...
not yet got my primer, but got the rest of the paint, glue and pinstrips...
so...about the primer...any comments?? he said a rough sand would be good enuff to hold and the primer was more to cover and seal up small defects and spot defects then any thing else.... :confused:
I had the same thing. Took my bucket (DP97) to a model shop and the guy said there was no need for primer. I'm about 60% through painting (I'm airbrushing with water based acrylics). I didn't use primer and it looks just fine so far. You must sand it, though, to give the paint a key to hold on to.
My next helmet I probably will prime, just to give myself a clean blank canvass to work on.
I guess it's all down to personal choice.
I'm not a paint expert, however, so I defer to the greater knowledge of anyone else who has good painting experience.
its all painted up now. HAd to manually use a brush and paint over the silver parts of my jango which were covered by some renegade blue spray!!
haha...took me like 1 hour or so, and got a bit of a light headed after the exposure to the paints
will post some pics, stay tuned!!
han hunter, show us what ya have!!
Shall do very soon.
I want to get the base colours on first then I'll get pics up, then update once it's weathered.
Have done the dome/cheeks, mandibles and 1 coat on the back. Have the paint for the Visor T and once a second coat on the back and the T are done, I'll get some pics up. May not be right away due to my 2 week old son taking up the majority of my time and energy.
How about pics of yours?
will be up soon, com is giving me problems....
anyway, i did 2 coats of silver and one for the blue, dunnoe if it will hold well, i didnt remove the old visor as advised, i decided last moment not to as it wun make much of a difference (would it??).
would be cutting it out once i get some brass strips to reinforce the mandibles..how are ya reeinforcing the madibles? urs is a 97 DP right? would be nice to show me..hehe
My mandibles are pretty strong (not often you get to say that!).
Once the acrylic visor is secured in place, I don't think it'll need any strengthening.
ah..u used arcylic visors....mine are kinda flimsy, the visors..not got it yet thou, its still wif a frend of mine....maybe if its good enuff i might not need to reinforce..
Cut out the crap visor first, prime, paint, and then replace with new T visor. I'm sure we could all agree this is the best method.
Just a little note, i recently re-did my visor, and used curved plexi-glass that i found at a garage sale, and then tinted it with a do-it-yourself auto window tint kit from Wal-Mart. Hoo-ra!

Marcus Walden, a 27-year-old veteran of the U.S. Navy, is in his second semester as a freshman at the University of St. Thomas. For Walden, St. Thomas stood out among other Houston colleges because of the prompt response from administrators, attention to student success and knowledge of veteran programs and needs.
Walden attended St. Thomas High School and knew he wanted to return to Houston after serving six years in the Navy — three years stationed in California and three years at sea near Japan, traveling Southeast Asia.
"The transition from being in the military to being a full-time civilian with endless free time was a big change," Walden said. "The fact that everyone at UST is so personable is what made the transition happen. The personal attention made it doable."
UST is a participant in the Yellow Ribbon program, which helps qualifying veterans pay tuition costs exceeding the Post-9/11 GI Bill's usual cap for private schools. Many veterans attend UST with no tuition cost. The University was named a 2013 Military Friendly School by G.I. Jobs Magazine in September.
With the help of Phillip Butcher, director of Transfer Admissions and Veteran Services, Walden appreciated that UST designates a staff member to aid veterans with their specific needs.
"It's good to know that there is somebody to help if I have a question about my GI Bill benefits or anything," Walden said. "I can email Phil and have a response within a day or two. Having a resource like Phil is a great thing, and all the faculty really want to help each person succeed. I've never felt alienated or like a number. They really want me to do well and learn the subject."
Walden is a double major in environmental science, on the teaching track, and theology. Planning to teach children the origin of foods and the value of the environment, Walden encourages people to understand what they are eating.
"It's good to learn about the environment, and, since we're cooped up in the city, kids nowadays don't know things like french fries come from potatoes and that those don't grow on trees," Walden said. "Because everything is so processed and pre-packaged, people are starting to lose touch with where things come from."
Also a proponent for educating the whole person, Walden supports UST as a liberal arts school that welcomes all faiths. He said the diversity in his Introduction to Catholicism class helped deepen his understanding of his Catholic faith.
"Most people in my class weren't Catholic, so we had to tackle that question from a broader range," Walden said. "It brought up more conversation, dialogue and education. Whether or not they are Catholic, Protestant, Jewish or Muslim doesn't matter. It's about loving my neighbor as myself."
Walden plans to graduate in 2016 and gives gratitude to UST for understanding his needs and making the transition to collegiate life seamless.

You have seen waterfalls, but have you ever seen one underground? Ruby Falls is a sight to see, along with the other sights in the caverns. Tip: For the best experience try to go after there has been a fair amount of rain, so that the waterfall is stronger.
Tennessee Aquarium
50 minutes Website
The Tennessee River is one of the most diverse in the nation. See what lives near Bryan College in the rivers up close and personal. Then head over to the second building where you can get a look at even more animals, including penguins and butterflies. Tip: For large families, a yearly pass might be cheaper than individual one-time passes, and then you can go back for free.
