Under beautiful sunny skies and warm temperatures, the 95 members of the squad and the Blue Hen coaching staff had group photos taken, had the chance to chat with fans and sign autographs, and conducted interviews about the coming season with the media members in attendance.
"It's been a good experience," said Delaware head coach Dave Brock of the annual event, which took place on the team's first day away from on-field practice. "It's a good day for the players. The kids love getting dressed up and getting their pictures taken and talking with the fans."
"It's a great experience," said Delaware linebacker Patrick Callaway, one of 17 seniors on the squad. "We have the chance to talk with the fans and the media and give them an update on how we are progressing. It's a day off from camp and it's a much needed break. I'm excited for the upcoming season, we've been practicing hard."
The squad will continue with daily drills and practices Monday, Aug. 11 with the next scrimmage set for Saturday, Aug. 16, at 3:30 p.m. in Delaware Stadium. All Delaware practices and scrimmages are open to the public.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
With the fuse back in, pull the cig lighter out and see if it's warm.
If so, you've found the drain. The cig lighter and radio are normally
on the same fuse (that's still powered with the key off), to keep
the radio memory alive. You can also unplug the cig lighter to see
if the drain's in the radio.
Auto mfgs try to keep the key-off drain around 7-15 ma, to allow
a battery to start the vehicle after 30 days. This is good for long-term
parking in airports and such...
That draw should not run down a healthy battery. Also keep in mind that almost every fuse has numerous circuits so just pulling a fuse normally kills seveal things.
Also consider the method used to test the draw. If you have a low impedance meter in series with one of the battery cables you will get a false reading because you have circuits trying to power up and it takes way more power to power them up than it does to keep them alive but your meter doesn't pass enough currant to power them up..
|.03 is good for most, .05 is acceptable, though high, for an older car that doesn't sit for long periods of time. I believe you found your draw - the radio memory.
parasitic current draw
I have read where 50 ma parasitic current draw is on the high end. Some examples of accessories with their current draw: Voltage regulator 1 - 2 ma, digital clock 3 - 5 ma, quartz clock 7 ma, ECM 7 - 8 ma, radio & clock 7 ma. and there are other relays and sensors that add more parasitic draw.
After a power door lock relay shorted out, the old Autolite battery was completely discharged on my '91 S10 Blazer within 24 hours. I installed a new ACDelco battery and started using a Deltron 800 ma Battery Tender and the problem was solved. I attach the battery tender every time I park the car in the garage.
Attaching the battery tender every time I park the car in the garage is probably unnecessary if I would drive the vehicle every day or two. The Blazer may sit for two weeks before being driven again so I hook up the battery tender. I have Deltran's optional battery lead attached to the positive and negative battery terminals so it is no trouble to plug in the tender.
Be aware that the ECM in the failure mode can have a high parasitic battery drain that cannot be detected in the conventional manner. When the battery is disconnected the ECM solid state circuit will not show a battery drain until the continuity is restored. Cycling the ignition switch from off to run position may cause the electrical drain to reoccur but do not do that with the amp meter installed in series with the cable and negative battery post.
I recently checked the current draw on my truck, which has a Pioneer radio/CD and no other accessories, and the current draw was about 15ma with the ignition off. My analog multimeter is very old, but I think its still fairly accurate.
|EOD Guy
|I recently help a friend who had a simular problem with the batt lasting 24 hrs after a chg...... It turned out to the the factory amps killing the batt, we replaced the amps and the problem went away. Might try unplugging the radio harness and put that fuse back in, see if you still get the draw, if you have amps....... try the same, that way you would know what was draining it.
Max. current draw with engine off keys in my pocket?
Hi guys, Car is 1991 civic 1.5 Liter, a real eye-turner, I know. Anyways I was having a problem where my battery would die to the point where I couldn't crank the engine over within 48 hours of sitting. I got out the DMM and began pulling fuses on the dash fuse block while observing the current draw. I can't recall what my exact current draw was since this was about 3 months ago now but IIRC it was around 0.3A (300mA). I got to the last fuse (ofcourse) and when I pulled this fuse the current draw dropped to next to nothing, so I knew I had isolated the cause of the excessive current draw. This fuse was named "cigarette lighter relay". Well...... I don't smoke so I didn't care if I left this fuse out if it meant my battery wouldn't die on me in 2 days. With the fuse pulled however my factory radio does not work either. Somehow the radio is wired through that fuse. I am planning on taking another look at this problem soon since I have been driving around now for 3 months with no music!! My question is, what is the maximum or acceptable current draw you would expect to see with the ignition off?

Category: fire sign babies
If you're due very soon and so are expecting a Leo baby – or have or anticipate a child born under one of the other fire signs, Sagittarius or Aries – all I can say is: Lucky you. I'm an Aries, my first child was a Sag, and my second a Leo, and we all live up to our characteristically fiery independent natures.
If you're interested in a name that means or relates to fire for your own little fire sign baby, or its bright, energetic image simply appeals to you, consult this list of fiery names:
AGNI – Hindu god of fire, though to English speakers the name may sound more feminine than masculine.
AIDAN and AIDEN – Popular modern form of Aodh, meaning fiery, that's well-used for boys and also a possibility for girls. Meaning fire, Aodh (or Ae, which is pretty phonetic) was a name borne by several High Kings and mythological heroes.
AZAR – Attractive Iranian girl's name that means fire.

I'm looking to build my own second hive and frames, but I also lack the money to just go out and buy sufficient wood and materials to do so. I was wondering if anyone has built hives from salvaged wood from old pallets. And, if so, do you have any recommendations for things I'll need to watch out for? Many thanks!-- Tom

PASSAGE & PLACE Print Project

 Call for submissions:

 The concept of Home is often defined by one's relationship to place- one's connection to, or displacement from, a geographical or structural location. In thinking about diaspora, a person's Home may be a place they have never physically been- it may be less of a physical place and more of a conceptual one. When considering chosen and forced im/emigration, incarceration, or territories occupied by military force, one's concept of Home may not simply be defined by a single static place- or by place at all. In the context of queer identities, many of us who have chosen to disengage, or have been disowned from our families of origin, define Home through our interpersonal relationships to chosen family and community.

 Some of us may associate particular people in our lives with a sense of Home. For some of us, Home may be laden in the sight of an object, a smell, a sound, a phrase. One's concept of Home may be best conjured up by the act of movement, the practice of tradition, or the retelling of significant events.

 What is it that signifies Home to you? Consider drafting a letter to that place/person/object/etc.

 Imagine being able to communicate with Home directly-- what would you say? What is your relationship to each other at this point in time? Has it changed? If so, in what ways? What lies in the space between you and Home?

 This is a call for letters written, and visual art created from You to Home. A collection of these letters and images will be bound and printed into an anthology released in conjunction with the National Queer Arts Festival, 2014.

 Final deadline to submit work is 5pm on March 1st, 2014.

 **PLEASE FORWARD this call**

 EMAIL SUBMISSIONS to email@example.com

 MAIL SUBMISSIONS (we ♥ letters!) to:
 Passage & Place
 PO Box 22469
 Oakland CA 94609

 Submissions will not be returned, so please don't send originals. Along with your submission, please include a 2-3 line bio about yourself, as well as contact information.

 Letters should be kept to 1,000 words or less. Visual art should be formatted to 6"x9" or "9x12". Scanned images should be 300dpi.

 Selected letters and visual art will be displayed during the PASSAGE & PLACE exhibition in June 2014.

 Contributors selected for print will receive a copy of the printed anthology.

 Abstract:

 PASSAGE & PLACE aims to connect conversations of localized displacement and gentrification to more expansive conversations around immigration, imprisonment, community building across intersections, mental health and spirit, and the ways in which queerness interfaces with these. How do our individual and collective bodies affect and politicize the spaces around them, and how do the spaces around us affect and politicize our individual and collective bodies? How are notions of movement/displacement and freedom/confinement constructed, informed by, critiqued, and deconstructed by our individual and collective identities? In what ways do the coping mechanisms of trauma and dissociation transform into intentional acts of strengthening?

 PASSAGE & PLACE asks its participants and audience to connect their own experience to a broader narrative about the impacts of movement and place-making in physical, liminal, and metaphorical space in three parts: an art exhibition, a panel discussion of participating artists, and a printed anthology of visual and written works.The printed project will incorporate works of art sourced via an open call for contributions, a curated collection of essays, and letters from both free-world artists/writers and queer prisoners.

 PASSAGE & PLACE is curated and coordinated by Annah Anti-Palindrome and Lex Non Scripta.

Home > News & Events > News > Student Stories > Willing a Way to Clean Water
A year and a half ago, a pilot program to give rural families affordable water purification had issued 40 dispensers that served 6,000 people in Kenyan villages. Today, more than 400,000 people in Kenya and other countries have access to clean water based on this method.
The approach, which uses an inexpensive chlorine solution and a plastic dispenser that was custom made to distribute doses at communal water sources, was developed by Michael Kremer, Gates Professor of Developing Societies in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences' Economics Department and a faculty member at the Harvard Kennedy School, Professor of Economics Sendhil Mullainathan, and colleagues at the University of California at Berkeley, the National Bureau of Economic Research, Emory University, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Based on the initial study that concluded a year and a half ago, the Gates Foundation supported the nonprofit group Innovations for Poverty Action to scale up the approach, with Daniele Lantagne, a two-year Georgio Ruffolo Research Fellow in Harvard Kennedy School's Sustainability Science Program, providing technical assistance. Several local governments in Kenya, along with the ministries of Water, Public Health and Sanitation, and Education, and the nonprofit One Acre Fund have all invested in the approach.
Lantagne, an engineer by training who worked on clean-water issues around the world for 11 years, provided engineering support and worked with local partners on the program's dramatic expansion. She redesigned the dispenser and its holder to lower cost and increase durability, and worked with local manufacturers to produce and distribute the units to settings around the world.
Along the way, Lantagne has studied how the units are used — or not used — to better understand where they can help. The dispensers now are in Kenya, Haiti, Bangladesh, India, Swaziland, Peru, and Somalia.
In the industrialized world, clean water is often taken for granted. But in settings without water purification and sewage infrastructure, water can become contaminated with feces. That is the biggest cause of diarrheal disease around the world, Lantagne said. Diarrheal disease is the No. 2 killer of children, leading to 1.87 million deaths of those under 5 each year. Around the world, an estimated 2 billion people lack access to microbiologically safe water.
Lantagne came to Harvard with a wealth of experience in this field. She received bachelor's and master's degrees in environmental engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and a doctorate from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine last year. In between, she worked for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, traveling to more than 50 developing countries to work on water issues.
Lantagne said she believes it is governments' responsibility to provide clean water to their citizens, which is the case in the industrialized world. Her efforts are aimed at providing interim relief until governments step in.
"The question is: What do you do when you can't get infrastructure?" Lantagne said.
Kremer's initial study investigated the economics and willingness of rural Kenyans to use a widely marketed chlorine solution to disinfect their water. Only 6 percent of people used the solution when the normal price of about 25 cents was charged. But when it was provided for free, a majority of people used it. Kremer then investigated whether chlorination could be provided more cheaply using a larger volume at a communal water source instead of many smaller bottles distributed to homes. The study showed that was the case, Lantagne said.
Since then, Lantagne has re-engineered the dispensers and their holders to make them more durable and cheaper to manufacture. She traveled not just to the nations where the dispensers are being distributed, but also to China to explore manufacturing techniques. Through these improvements, soon a whole setup will be produced for $25. read more

Portsmouth man faces court date after complaining prostitute owes him more time
Old Orchard Beach Police issued a summons last week to Scott Pipher, 34, of Portsmouth, charging him with the misdemeanor offense.
Details of the alleged transaction were not clear, but an agitated Pipher told police that the woman cut their time together short and "did not give him his money's worth," Old Orchard Police Sgt. Gerard Hamilton said Thursday.
"It appeared his emotions took over, and he was not thinking about the consequences of making the phone call," Hamilton said.
Pipher called police in March, leading to an investigation and online sting operation that resulted in the arrests of two women on charges of engaging in prostitution, Old Orchard Police announced Monday.
One of the women arrested in the sting was the one Pipher complained about in his call to police, Hamilton said.
Pipher did not answer a message seeking comment Thursday. He is scheduled for arraignment in Biddeford Court in Maine on Jan. 30.

Box score
BROOKVILLE, N.Y. (Feb. 18, 2012) – Senior attacker Eddie Plompen (West Islip, N.Y.) registered a hat trick and led No. 4 C.W. Post past Wheeling Jesuit University, 9-6, in both its season and East Coast Conference opener Saturday afternoon on Hickox Field.
C.W. Post is now 1-0 and will take on Seton Hill next Saturday at 12 p.m. on Hickox. Wheeling Jesuit falls to 0-1.
The Cardinals scored the game's first goal when Landon DelPrince fired a shot in at 11:19 of the first quarter. The Pioneers evened the score on an unassisted goal from sophomore midfielder Octovio Bernabo (Mahopac, N.Y.) at 6:25 to start a 4-0 run through the end of the first quarter.
Wheeling Jesuit cut the lead in half in the second quarter with a goal from Kevin Figaniak before the Pioneers answered with three more goals, including two from junior attacker Justin Patterson (Corning, N.Y.).
At the half, C.W. Post held a 7-3 advantage. Both teams recorded 16 shots in the half.
In the third quarter, senior attacker Doug Hoch (Cortlandt Manor, N.Y.) scored his first goal of the season at 5:07 to put the Pioneers ahead, 8-3. Wheeling Jesuit responded with a goal from Tyler Johnson with 1:25 to play in the quarter.
The Cardinals threatened in the fourth quarter by adding two goals and outshot the Pioneers, 8-4. The second goal was scored by DelPrince, who had two in the game, and made it a two-goal game with 9:01 left in regulation.
C.W. Post got out of the jam as Plompen scored his final goal on a feed from Patterson on a man-up opportunity with 7:10 to play.
Patterson finished with a game-high five points on two goals and three assists. Bernabo had a goal and an assist while Hoch had a pair of goals. Freshman Sam Price (Glenville, Pa.) made 10 saves in goal to record his first collegiate win.
DelPrince and Johnson each had a pair of goals to lead Wheeling Jesuit. Figaniak and Aaron Gutentag each scored a goal with an assist. Jim LaPenna made eight saves in goal.
C.W. Post finished the game outshooting the Cardinals, 30-27, and held a 42-36 advantage on ground balls.

Two University of St. Thomas student leaders joined Houston Independent School District and the Houston Hispanic Forum at the 28th Annual Career and Education Day. The career day took place on Feb. 8, 2014 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in downtown Houston.
Juniors Armando Martinez and Priya Bhalla, both Resident Assistants with the Office of Residence Life, shared their college transition story at a career and education panel led by former director of residence life Yolanda Norman. Norman currently works as the manager for College Readiness at Houston Independent School District.
"I was so impressed with their passion for motivating others to get their education and their willingness to even follow up with participants as they prepare for college," Norman said.
Martinez, a finance and economics joint major and first-generation student shared his experience as the first person in his family to go to college. Bhalla, a pre-med major, focused her story on moving to America and experiencing a more open education system.
"Speaking at the National Hispanic Forum was a great learning experience," Bhalla said. "From listening to someone closer to [the students'] age, I think it helped to know that there are opportunities for them to experience college firsthand. Coming from another country and not knowing even the process of applying to college was difficult, but I had my parents and my educators in high school motivating me— I just hope to have done that for someone there!"

Your doing the right thing. I thought long and hard before I decided to convert to electric propulsion back in 2007. I had a lot of "what if" scenarios go through my mind and happily I have found that EP is able to do what needs to be done. That said I discourage people from taking out a perfectly running diesel to put in electric propulsion. Wait until it dies and then see what's around. For me it was a great step forward even though it was somewhat of a leap of faith back in 2007 as there were no boats in the 30 foot range that I could compare notes with. But, since then I have never once wished I still had the old diesel on board.

Re: Repowering with an electric engine?
Hey everyone,
I think the best question was posted by Christian: why?
My reasoning was purely subjective.
My diesel needed to be replaced, so I started looking at the options. Several years ago I received a mailing from a company looking for investors to develop an electric propulsion system for recreational boaters. I can't remember the company and I believe it went out of business, but I was intrigued by the concept. There were some good reasons for me to go electric:
It's green(er).
I could be a pioneer. (I know that's really egotistical, but honest.)
My wife hates the smell of diesel fuel. (That's the BIG number one.)
I hated changing the oil and filters and smelling of diesel fuel.
Our style of sailing...leave the dock and the sails go up, then day sails, weekends and the occasional week.
Our sailing grounds...minimal tidal changes so not much current to fight.
When we did the conversion I used four AGM 4D batteries placed in a manner to balance the weight. I had approximately 80lbs net weight gain. Don't ask me the numbers about regeneration from the propeller. I make no apologies for being a "fair weather" sailor, so I usually have plenty of wind to return to the dock with 100% charge.
I do use a Honda 2000 generator to recharge the house batteries or if I have to motor in the ICW against a headwind for more than 10 miles. I can motor at 3.5kn with no net loss to the propulsion batteries and charge the house batteries with the Honda.
The main downside for me is charging the house batteries to keep my amp-hungry refrigerator running. I going to install a 48 to 12v transformer to utilize the left-over amps generated from the propeller. My propulsion batteries are normally back after about 30 to 60 min. of sailing above 3.5 kn.
Electric works for my wife and I. Is it the best choice for everyone? Absolutely not. If I sailed in areas with big tidal ranges with lots of current or had the possibility of being becalmed in open seas, I wouldn't consider battery powered electric propulsion. IMHO.
PS: boat is a 1995 Hunter 29.5.
Re: Repowering with an electric engine?
please do!
Re: Repowering with an electric engine?
Sorry I haven't been around guys I have been working on the bracket and drive system of my boat. I will post pics and get real time info to you as time allows though.
Re: Repowering with an electric engine?
Mitiempo Great pics and a good reason and argument for electric.
Alex let me ask you a question. If I am reading this thread correctly what your saying is I coudn't sail the passes and islands of the northwest on a schedule. So why make one? You need to see them from the luxury of a RV anyway.
Have you ever seen how big the eyes of a luxury boat owner get when you sail past them into a marina? I have and they are the biggest whiners on the planet. I didn't have a engine on my boat.I did but it was locked up so I through a anchor overboard with a fender attached to it and I practiced sailing up to it from all directions. Once I learned how to sail I came and went from the marina under sail. That's when all the trouble started. So now I will put a electric drive on my boat and let them complain about that instead.
It seems they always have negative feed back about everything anyway.
Re: Repowering with an electric engine?
I looked at EAS and Elco in fact I talked with their representative online one day at length. The fact of the matter is this system won't work for everyone. Some just don't like the idea off something new until they see it in use and on the market for some time. Some just want old tech for the sake of old tech. Me I want to go to mars someday and eat mri's on the way. I want to sail over the ocean blue without worry of being power poor. I am setting my boat up accordingly. The most power needy thing I have on board is a depth finder. My nav lights are LED's and only use a amp an hour.
I want total self sufficiency. Little to no power perks like radar, satelite phones, internet,anything that says raymarine or Garmen on it. I want a very low power consumption boat. 8 12 volt batteries to run me in and out of a marina or port and 2 salon batteries. A wind generator and 2 24 volt solar panels to charge all batteries with two seperate mppt controllers. I will also carry (just in case) a 89 dollar harbor freight generator that holds one gallon at a time so all I will have on board is 2 gallons one for back up.
Re: Repowering with an electric engine?
Here is where the industry is at...not certain re-fits can duplicate, but I think if interested in electric repower, this gives someone an idea of the latest technologies...

Re: Repowering with an electric engine?
jajaja good stuff
Re: Repowering with an electric engine?
There has been a lot of valuable information on here. I looked into this a few years back, and quick and dirty, if you don't want to give up "range" you need a generator roughly the same size, HP wise, as the engine you are replacing. The entire system is larger, heavier, more expensive and more complicated than the engine you are replacing. I think you also need to look at the pollution free aspect of electric. If you recharge with shore power, you are not pollution free, as in the US a lot of power generation is coal fired, and while scrubbed, it is not clean. I know that lead acid batteries have a good recycle rate over their life cycle, bu I am not sure about Lithium batteries, in the various combinations. I do not know what the "pollution" footprint of manufacturing or discarding a solar panel is, but I suspect there is one. In short the least polluting answer is likely a diesel with a catalytic converter and enough green plants on board to reconvert the CO2 back to O2. No I do not have statistics, just a gut feeling that there is no free lunch in pollution control either. My town still has a "recycle" trash pickup, but the "recycling" is added to the regular trash stream, as it is cheaper. So we actually have twice as many pickups and therefore trash trucks running, so the net effect is that "recycling" adds more pollution than not "recycling". Yes this is a very cynical policy, but it keeps taxes low, and the mayor re elected and most folks in town feel good about their "re cycling".
This has become longer than I'd like, but for me the real "green" solution is fighting for pollution controls on all IC engines, and creating green space. I am well aware that IC engines of various sizes and uses are NOT the largest source of pollution compared to factories and utilities, but that is a fight for another day.
Since it is memorial day, go visit a WWII submarine museum and thank those pig boat sailors for their service. You'll also realize that the engine and battery spaces were much larger than the crew quarters. Time for a new thread on small nuclear power plants for sailboats?

text: I knew many of you are internet savvy but I just ran across something on another site that really bothered me so I thought I would share the incident. I use another website for home and garden advice. The search function is archaic so people often Google user names to find a post in the site. This morning I Googled a user name to find a post. I didn't get that many hits but I was shocked to see how much I could find out about this person from her user name. I got the results that I was searching for plus hits on an acne board, a weight loss board, a health board and a travel board! We all know that nothing on the net is private. I was still surprised how shockingly easy it was to find out a tremendous amount of personal information about this woman without even trying. Be smart about user names, especially when posting sensitive information!

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
I have been thinking for awhile about how there needs to be a comprehensive and up to date zine event calendar and since I default to DIY I thought I would do it myself.
I know we have event listings here on We Make Zines but sometimes people don't post them. Or, they know about them but don't think they can post them because they are not an organizer of the event. I have started a listing on my blog of zine events here. I'd like for this forum discussion to be a place to mention new zine events that I may have missed or even just a place to talk about upcoming zine events to see who is going. Maybe even organize a We Make Zines meet up at the event.
So, feel free to check out my listing page and suggest things I missed.
As for zine events, the next one I am attending is the Richmond Zine Fest. Anyone else going?
Views: 433
I updated the zine event listings. I have been doing it monthly. Here it is.
I have also started a google group for zine event organizers so that we can network and share ideas and sold problems together. So far we have people from around the world and it is pretty exciting. If you are a zine event organizer consider following the link and joining.
This listing will soon be moving to stolensharpierevolution.org Stay tuned and pass the word!
Hi Alex,
The full programme for The Festival of the Photocopier 2012 is up now on the Sticky Institute website at www.stickyinstitute.com. Cool. Luke/Sticky.
thanks! I'll get it up.
Thanks Alex. You know you really must come on over to Melbourne some time. We have zines, beer and kangaroos! Luke/Sticky.
Luke! If you can get a kangaroo to serve me beer I'll be there! Actually, Dave Roche informed me that we are in a competition for attending the most zine events. I really need to make it down there. Wish I could find some funding for it!
Thanks for putting together the blog. I am hoping to get to the Chicago Zine Fest this year as a civilian (non-tabler).
civilian. lol. Once you have been consumed by zines there is no going back!
Also, I'm going to be moving this over to the new StolenSharpieRevolution.org tonight, so check that out.
I've been bad at updating the Stolen Sharpie Revolution site. Getting Portland Button Works off the ground has sort of taken over my life. BUT! I spent awhile this morning updating the Zine Event Listing atwww.stolensahrpierevolution.org

The Serenity Prayer: a hard-won battle
When I first walked into the rooms of Al‑Anon, I couldn't say the Serenity Prayer with any sincerity. I was angry with God and with the alcoholism that had exploded in my life. I wanted to yell, scream, and cry—not peacefully pray.

I am very much looking forward to this event for the range of talks that will be available and for the range of exhibitors.
Unlock the Past has partnered with History Queensland, Genealogical Society of Queensland and Queensland Family History Society for this Expo. History Queensland will not be putting on a Family History Fair this year so this is your chance for your Family History Fix. This is the seventh Unlock the Past Expo and the first in Brisbane.
A featured presenter is Audrey Collins the well known genealogist from the UK National Archives. You may have heard a number of her podcasts available as downloads on the National Archives website and also in iTunes.Audrey is also the author of The Family Recorder, a very interesting blog that should be on every genealogist's reading list. Audrey has been a frequent presenter at USA and Canadian conferences over the last few years but this is the first time she has come to Australia and I am very much looking forward to hearing her talks.
The Expo program is available here and the hard part will be working out which presentations to attend.
Audrey is speaking each day and the topics all sound great "Scandals in the family", "The Will Forgeries: Organised Crime" both sound very intriguing!
Audrey is also speaking on the Census, The Making of the GRO Indexes, Online Newspapers and Periodicals and the London Gazette.
As well as Audrey there are also many other speakers. For those who could not attend Congress, Shauna Hicks will be talking on "Ancestors in Church: Using Church Publications" and also other presentations.
Judy Webster will be speaking on "Black Sheep and Vanishing Relatives" which is an excellent talk giving clues on how to find those very hard to find black sheep.
Kerry Farmer will be talking on DNA and another talk on "Convicts from Trial to Freedom" a must-hear of you have convicts in the family.
Carole Riley will be giving a talk on "Australian Land records". This can be a difficult are a to research.
Cassie Mercer, the well known editor and publisher of Inside History is talking on "Ireland to Longreach: the Real Captain Starlight?" which sounds very interesting.
I will also be giving a number of presentations including one on "Demolishing Brickwalls in your Research" "Just What Did cause Their Death?", "The Guild of One Name Studies" and "Online Genealogical Education Opportunities".
I have only picked out some of the presenters, so definitely look at the program. As well as all the presentations there will also be an exhibit hall with an increasing number of exhibitors including Find My Past who will be there showing their databases and offering look-ups. They had a very popular stall at Congress with constant numbers of people looking up their relatives with many happy jigs being performed.
There will also be a Research Help Zone where you can bring your research problems.
Pre-booking entry will save you money, link on the side-bar of this blog.. Bookings for the talks will only be available on the day onsite.

The Arsenal Foundation Collection is a regular feature in the Official Matchday Programme. In our latest article, Arsenal Ladies star Steph Houghton talks about her sporting childhood.
I probably got into football from watching the men's game. Dad played semi-pro and my mum still remembers, when I was very young, having to take me to his games in the pram. She'd be stood there, freezing on the touchline.
I watched football on TV at home, of course, but that would never have been women's football. And then, when I was a little bit older, Dad used to take me to watch Sunderland at the Stadium of Light: we were able to get tickets from one of the coaches in the Community Department.
Four of us went together: me and dad, and my mate and her dad. It wasn't really until I was a teenager and playing for Sunderland, against semi-pro players and internationals, that I started to think about where football could take me.
South Hetton is about 15 minutes from Durham city centre, up in the North East. It's a pit village. For years and years it was all about the mine. My Granddad and lots of my uncles had worked down the pit but it closed just around the time I was born, after the Miners' Strike in the mid-1980s. We were proud of being a pit village, though, and it was part of the tradition of the place while I was growing up. Still is, I think.
It was a very close-knit village and losing the pit maybe brought everybody even closer together. It was hard with so many people having to look for new jobs. That's what I remember from my childhood there, anyway.
My Dad hadn't gone into the mines. He was an apprentice electrician when I was born and he's done well. He still works for Northern Electric now. Mum was at college but she stopped when I was born and stayed at home to bring up me and my younger brother, Stuart. She's gone back to work now as a civil servant at the Pension Centre.
They bought our first little house when they got married and that's where I grew up. It was in one of four parallel streets of terraced houses and everybody knew each other: friendly, and everyone knowing all the gossip. At the back of the house there was a tiny little yard with a shed full of sports gear. That yard was where playing football started for me.
Dad was a bit of a perfectionist. Whatever we did – football, cricket, board games, whatever it was – he'd want to make sure we did our best. So my first memories of playing football are out in the yard with Dad and him teaching me how to kick the ball properly when I was four or five years old.
He worked long hours but when he was at home he wanted to spend as much time as he could with his children. Sunny evenings and at weekends would mean us being out in the yard for ages, kicking a ball. There was a pole for the washing line and we'd see how often we could hit the pole with the ball. Or it would be a goalpost and you'd have to score between the washing pole and the wall: headers and volleys, score in 60 seconds or you had to go in goal.
The family next door were good friends of ours and their son, Karl, who was two years older than me, used to come round and join in. My brother, Stuart, was four years younger than me and he'd play too, but by then I was old enough that I'd moved on from the yard.
First, we'd play out in the street and then, later, we moved on to the field next to the 'Welfare', the miners' social club. Stuart played a lot of tag rugby at school and now he plays Rugby League. I always played football at primary school, though. There was a little five-a-side court up in the top yard there and we'd rush out every break-time to pick up teams. You had to get there first because the rule was that the winners stayed on so, if your team was on first, you could be playing all the way through break.
South Hetton was a football-mad village and a fantastic place to grow up. Especially if you liked playing and going to watch Sunderland at the Stadium of Light! It still feels like home to me. In many ways, I think you don't realise how special the place you grew up is until you leave it.
I've come south to follow my career in football and that's been a great opportunity but I still go back now every chance I get, when there's a break from games with Arsenal and England. It's where so many of my friends are and the lovely thing is that no-one seems to change: it's the place I can go to keep my feet on the ground.
Steph Houghton grew up in the North East and began her playing career with Sunderland. She joined Arsenal in 2010 and also represents England Ladies and was selected for Team GB at the 2012 Olympics.

Dustin and I have been seeingweb sites pop up all over the place with the word 'Cloud' in the name.Everything from web based remote PC services to elastic Web Mail.
I remember in 2000when Business to Business Integration (B2Bi) was the big market buzzword. Every company in the industry was claiming to be "The B2Bicompany". B2Bi was and is not an easy task. Everyone uses and storesdata differently; sometimes even within the same company. So whathappened? Most companies could not deliver products that made the jobeasier in a more generic way and it fell to services based companies.The expense soared and the results were generally poor. XML was justgaining prominence and few "B2Bi companies" ever even heard of EDI (Electronic Data Interchange. It was how businesses shared data before the internet became so capable). Thenet result ended up being that to succeed these providers had to scaleback their claims and muddy the definition of B2Bi. Now you hardly everhear it. The need still exists and the market is robust but the buzzword faded from the lexicon.
Cloud Computing is a powerful concept and the term can encompass many different implementations that achieve Dynamic Infrastructure, On Demand Capacity and Virtualized Enterprises. However, tagging glorified remote desktops and pay-for-GB mail boxes as cloud computing will do nothing but obscure the definition, allow charlatans to deliver poor or incomplete solutions and make it more difficult to convey the value of products and services that support true clouds.
Real cloud providers should be diligent in detailing their services and the value they provide. If the smoke is cleared, the view of the clouds will remain breathtaking.

For years President Bush has blamed the inhumane treatment of prisoners in the care of America on a few "rotten apples." Together with his buddies, Don Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney, he has refused to say, "the buck stops here" and accept responsibility for treating captured humans in degrading and criminal ways. A new report by the Senate Armed Services Committee will be released within days and it specifically identifies high ranking officials in the Bush administration as the ones who encouraged the use of torture. According to Senator Carl Levin, "attempts by senior officials to portray that(few rotten apples) to be the case while shrugging off any responsibility for abuses are both unconscionable and false. Our investigation is an effort to set the record straight."
The report notes military officers were concerned maltreatment of prisoners violated US law an the Uniform Code of Military Justice and exposed lower ranking soldiers of possible prosecution. Military lawyers constantly expressed this disagreement with methods of interrogation that were used but their complaints were ignored.
It is time to prosecute Bush/Chenecy/Rumsfeld and sent them to jail.

Forming an imperfect arch, this coastline boasts the alligator-friendly Everglades (southern Florida), pristine beaches (the Florida Panhandle), bustling bays (Mississippi), swampy lagoons (Louisiana), and bird-friendly, if industrial, shores (Texas).
Florida's Gulf Coast has as many personalities as it has transplants. The Keys comprise four major communities: Key Largo, the island closest to the mainland; Islamorada, scattered across four islands in the Middle Keys; Marathon, in the Middle Keys; and of course Key West, at the end of the road. Though some parts are highly developed and Key West's Duval Street fills with happy partyers, natural beauty prevails.
Central Florida appeals to urbanites who enjoy cosmopolitan offerings (museums, major sports teams, theme parks, restaurants, and the importation of corporate travelers and cash). Wide stretches of white sand draw folks―and much development―between Marco Island and Tarpon Springs. North of Tarpon Springs, the beaches disappear and riverbeds, mangroves, and fishing villages take over. Here, tourism is scarce and the population low.
Beaches in Northwest Florida (the Panhandle) range from overdeveloped (Destin, Panama City) to curiously overlooked (Mexico Beach) to developed yet still charming (Rosemary Beach, Seaside).
Alabama's stars―Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, and Mobile Bay―shine with the help of beguiling little communities alongside bigger ones. Small-town Fairhope, Josephine, and Point Clear supply ample Southern charm. They mirror the best of Mississippi's coast, where Ocean Springs and Pass Christian have retained their character. Bay St. Louis, in west Mississippi, attracts throngs of beach-seekers from New Orleans. Small Cajun towns and fishing villages dot Louisiana's coastline, where swamps are eroding rapidly.
Texas' 367-mile coastline is quite industrial (Port Arthur, Freeport, Port Lavaca, Corpus Christi). Nevertheless, many rare bird species migrate here during winter months in considerable numbers. Boaters enjoy the bounty of moorings around Galveston Bay. Perhaps the most scenic and activity-filled stretch belongs to South Padre Island.
With the excellent fishing and gorgeous water of the Keys and the unparalleled beauty of such beaches as Sarasota, Destin, and Pensacola, the Sunshine State draws snowbirds from across the Midwest and East Coast. The Keys remain one of the last spots in this country where people can truly get away from it all. That same laid-back mentality pops up in Sarasota and Naples―only with more cultural opportunities.
The Panhandle's beaches and scores of tourist attractions remain its top draws. Fall and spring here are optimal―perfect weather and smaller crowds. Another Florida bonus: There's no state income tax for individuals.
The Alabama coast reels in beach blanket aficionados and watersports lovers. An impressive amount of culture exists here, and ecotourism is growing along Mobile Bay, where the scenery can be as eye-catching as on the Gulf.
Mississippi's shores are decorated with casinos, such as Beau Rivage in Biloxi. Bay St. Louis and other small towns have managed to dodge the flashing neon signs. Here, boating, birding, and beachcombing rule. The hundreds of bays and inlets that skirt Louisiana create 40 percent of the continental United States' wetlands.
Texas' long coastline is home to some of the most affordable, if under-appreciated, coastal property in the country. Developments around Galveston have been popular among boaters. A lively arts scene draws inlanders to such places as Rockport, where a slow pace appeals to those fed up with Houston and Dallas. And Texas has no state income tax.
The Gulf Coast is vulnerable to tropical storms and hurricanes June through November, and these states experience extreme heat in summer. Many of the smaller, more affordable coastal towns lack industry, nightlife, and culture.
Newcomers to the Keys may find the atmosphere a little aloof―perhaps a symptom of some residents' wishes to get away from, well, people. From Marco Island to Tarpon Springs, locals must deal with hordes of tourists and terrible traffic.
Isolation and a dearth of beaches make the Big Bend area of Florida less appealing. Rambunctious teens and college students who inundate the Panhandle during spring break send some locals running.
The Alabama and Mississippi coasts have been subject to much development in recent years, a downside for those who prefer unobstructed beach beauty. Along the Louisiana coast, jobs are limited and beaches are all but nonexistent.
In Texas, industrial plants take up much of the prime real estate.

In the Keys, condos and houses on the ocean carry slightly higher price tags than those on the canals. Apartment options are limited. Key West, once America's richest town, has multimillion-dollar estates. The central coast has a wide range of dwellings―from the modest and low-key (Anna Maria Island) to upscale (Naples and Longboat Key).
The Tampa Bay area includes some of the most affordable coastal property; witness MiraBay, the hot new waterfront community just south of Tampa proper, where coastal homes range from $200,000 to more than $1 million. The Panhandle―famous for planned communities such as Seaside, Rosemary Beach, and WaterColor―often feels more like resort living than cosmopolitan Tampa, while Mexico Beach's tiny cottages have a more down-to-earth feel.
Alabama and Mississippi offer typical high-rise condos, most fairly pricey, as well as single-family homes and second residences on or near the water. Louisiana's fish camp-style housing along the marshes appeals to a select group, though New Orleans provides options in all styles and price ranges.
Texas has some of the Gulf's least developed shores, and therefore land here, though not quite as scenic as the rest of the Gulf Coast, is more available and slightly more affordable.
What It Costs:
Florida Keys condos go for $110,000 to $2 million. House prices start at $250,000 for a tiny cottage and go up to multimillion-dollar homes.
Around Sarasota, a fixer-upper begins at just over $100,000; a typical family home costs $400,000; large estates soar into the millions. Condos here average $400,000 for waterfront. Along the Panhandle, condos range from $115,000 to $1 million, and coastal homes average $500,000.
Mississippi and Alabama condos hover around $150,000 to $200,000 on the water, though some with better views carry larger price tags. It's possible to find a nice home in the $250,000 range, or a mansion for a million or two.
The average price of a town home or waterfront condo on the Texas coast is $125,000. Houses range from about $125,000 for smaller homes on canals in, say, Rockport, to estates on the water for several million.
Your Next-door Neighbors:
In the Keys, you'll find yourself in the company of celebrities (such as novelist Carl Hiaasen), retirees, artists, fishermen, environmentalists, top designers, and a handful of eccentrics. Naples and Sarasota draw many retirees and multimillionaires.
The Tampa Bay area welcomes corporate folks, but the region is also full of artists, musicians, chefs, and other creative types. The population of the Nature Coast (Tarpon Springs to Apalachicola) consists mostly of fishermen. The Panhandle hosts a mix of retirees, photographers, second-home owners, artists, chefs, and anyone involved in the tourism industry.
The coasts of Alabama and Mississippi boast chefs (Emeril Lagasse), writers, artists, teachers, restaurateurs, military families, fishermen, and other professionals as well as retirees. Louisiana's shores teem with fishermen, Tabasco plant workers, shrimpers, oil platform workers, and New Orleans suburbanites.
Texas towns attract creative types, too, from household advice columnist Heloise to sculptor Jesus Moroles, as well as former sports stars, ornithologists, marine biologists, doctors, lawyers, oil executives, and shrimpers. The Clear Lake area near Houston is full of NASA employees, engineers, chemical plant workers, and executives.
How You'd Spend Your Free Time:
The Gulf Coast is a fishing haven. In Florida, Key West hosts carousers, while Cedar Key and Gasparilla Island are places to unwind. Water sports abound year-round. Seashell hunting doesn't get any better than on Sanibel and Captiva islands. Museums draw crowds in the Sarasota and Tampa Bay areas, as well as New Orleans and Galveston. Art galleries pepper smaller towns such as Bay St. Louis and Rockport.
People can swim with dolphins in the Keys or with manatees in the Crystal River north of Tampa. Birding enthusiasts flock to Texas (Rockport) and parts of Louisiana (Chandeleur Islands).
Eating remains a passion on the Gulf Coast―from the Panhandle, where Grayton Beach serves fine fare, to the Louisiana-Mississippi-Alabama po'boy houses. In Texas, sailing flourishes in Corpus Christi and in the Clear Lake/Galveston area, while sportfishing rules in Port Aransas and South Padre Island.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Steve Perry
Dejected, Perry gave up on music completely and returned back to Lemoore to work once more at his stepfather's turkey ranch. But at his mother's insistence, Perry decided to give music another try. Just as he came to the realization, the manager of the prog rock/fusion act Journey, Herbie Herbert, contacted Perry to see if he'd like to try out for the lead singer spot in the group. Perry was eventually welcomed into the band and Journey's sound shifted away from their early indulgent style and toward a more focused mainstream rock sound. The move paid off; over the course of several albums in the late '70s (1978's Infinity, 1979's Evolution, and 1980's Departure), the Perry led version of Journey became one of the top U.S. arena rock bands. Founding keyboardist Gregg Rolie was replaced by former Babys member Jonathan Cain shortly thereafter, which would result in Perry finding a perfect songwriting partner. Just when it appeared as though Journey couldn't get any more popular, Journey scored two of the early '80s biggest rock records back to back -- 1981's Escape and 1983's Frontiers -- which confirmed what fans had known for several years: that the group members were the undisputed kings of arena rock (as the two albums spawned such massive hit singles as "Don't Stop Believin'," "Who's Crying Now," "Open Arms," "Separate Ways," and "Faithfully").
While Journey was on a brief break from touring and recording around this time, Perry issued his very first solo album in 1984, Street Talk, which unsurprisingly sounded almost identical to Journey and spawned a sizeable hit single with "Oh Sherrie" (as well as another minor hit, "Foolish Heart"). Journey regrouped in 1986 for Raised on Radio and although the album was another sizeable hit, it was noticeably not up to snuff when compared to their previous stellar releases. Sensing this themselves, Journey quietly broke up shortly thereafter. Little was heard from Perry subsequently, as a sophomore solo effort slated for release in 1988, Against the Wall, was ultimately shelved. Journey remained out of commission for several years while a pair of compilations, 1988's Greatest Hits and 1992's boxset Time 3, proved to be steady sellers. Perry finally got around to issuing a second solo album, For the Love of Strange Medicine, exactly ten years after his solo debut.
1996 saw Journey regroup for a new studio recording, Trial by Fire, and a proposed tour. But shortly before the tour was to get underway, Perry discovered that he had a degenerative hip condition, which effectively squashed all plans for a reunion tour (Perry's unwillingness to get corrective surgery right away ultimately led to his ousting from the group, as Journey would soldier on with Perry clone Steve Augeri behind the mic). Perry contributed a pair of tracks to the soundtrack for the 1998 Disney animated film Quest for Camelot before a Perry compilation, Greatest Hits + Five Unreleased, was issued later the same year. Perry was interviewed in the early 21st century for an episode of VH1's Behind the Music that focused on Journey, during which the singer told his side of the story of his ousting from the group and the happenings behind the scenes. In addition to his work with Journey and as a solo artist, Perry has lent his vocal talents to recordings by such other artists as Sammy Hagar, Jan Hammer, and Kenny Loggins. ~ Greg Prato

Occasional Pot Use May Harm Young People's Brains
The national mood has shifted dramatically in the last few years concerning the recreational and medical use of marijuana and many people are convinced that an occasional joint isn't harmful and should be legalized.
For the young people - and their parents - who think that smoking pot in moderation isn't harmful, a new study says you may want to review what scientists have discovered before you take another toke.
A study released this week by researchers from Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine and Harvard Medical School has found that 18- to 25-year-olds who smoke marijuana only recreationally showed significant abnormalities in the brain.
"There is this general perspective out there that using marijuana recreationally is not a problem — that it is a safe drug," says Anne Blood, an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School and the co-senior author of the study, which is being published in the Journal of Neuroscience. "We are seeing that this is not the case."
For decades, people who enjoy smoking pot have cited that it is less harmful than alcohol, tobacco and even sugar. The 1936 exploitation movie "Reefer Madness" and exaggerated warnings from public service announcements have probably done more to encourage marijuana use because they were either ridiculous or emotionally manipulative.
Now that legalization of marijuana use is on the front burner, science is interested is finding out if the drug is or is not harmful to those who smoke it.
Scientists in the new Northwestern-Harvard study used three different methods of neuroimaging analysis to examine the brains of 40 young adult students from Boston-area colleges: 20 who smoked marijuana casually — four times a week on average — and 20 who didn't use pot at all.
Each group consisted of nine males and 11 females. The marijuana smokers underwent a psychiatric interview to confirm that they were not heavy or dependent marijuana users.
"We looked specifically at people who have no adverse impacts from marijuana — no problems with work, school, the law, relationships, no addiction issues," says Hans Breiter, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the Feinberg School and co–senior author of the study.
The scientists examined two key parts of the brain — the nucleus accumbens and the amygdala, which together help control whether people judge things to be rewarding or aversive and, in turn, whether they experience pleasure or pain from them. It is the development of these regions of the brain, Breiter says, that allows young people to expand their horizons, helping them appreciate and enjoy new foods, music, books and relationships.
"This is a part of the brain that you absolutely never ever want to touch," Breiter asserts. "I don't want to say that these are magical parts of the brain — they are all important. But these are fundamental in terms of what people find pleasurable in the world and assessing that against the bad things."
Breiter and his colleagues found that among all 20 casual marijuana smokers in their study — even the seven who smoked just one joint per week — the nucleus accumbens and amygdala showed changes in density, volume and shape. The scientists also discovered that the more pot the young people smoked, the greater the abnormalities.
Researchers noted that the sample size for the study was small and their findings were preliminary. More research is needed, they say, to understand the relationship between the changes to the brain they found and the impact on the day-to-day lives of young people who smoke marijuana casually.
"The next important step is to investigate how structural abnormalities relate to functional outcomes," says Jodi Gilman, an instructor at Harvard Medical School who collaborated on the study.
This is especially important, she and her colleagues add, in light of the growing push to legalize recreational marijuana use across America. "People think a little marijuana shouldn't cause a problem if someone is doing O.K. with work or school," Breiter says. "Our data directly says this is not so."
More information is needed as we move into a future where marijuana use is becoming more and more accepted. Does smoking pot have negative long-term effects on the brain, particularly brains that are still developing?
The time has come to put aside our biases, either pro or con, and the silly reefer madness movies and take a serious approach and thoughtful look at the science of drug use and its effect on the most important organ in our body, the brain.

Video: Choosing a Blu-ray Player
Most of the people appearing in our videos are employees at Crutchfield. We pull in folks from around the company to share their expertise. A lot of our on-camera stars come from our Advisor Group — they help people choose the right gear via phone, email and chat every day, so they're good at explaining the products and technologies.
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
Shopping for a Blu-ray player? Find out about the latest features so you can find one that's right for you.
Video TranscriptJR:
So in the five or so years that Blu-ray players have been around there's been lots of upgrades. They do so much more than they were ever able to do before. Of course, you can't get better picture quality anywhere else, the sound quality is amazing, and all the little extras they've built in are just awesome.
So you probably have a 1080p TV and you want to make sure you're watching 1080p. Well the absolute best 1080p source is a Blu-ray player. Now what about your old collection of DVDs like this one behind me here? Don't worry. You don't have to take them to Salvation Army or sell them on Craigslist. They're still watchable. Not only watchable your Blu-ray player will play them but it will play them better than your older DVD player ever could because it takes that old DVD signal and upconverts it and makes it look better than ever on your high definition TV.
So with all this talk about picture quality you might be wondering "How do Blu-ray players sound?" Well, with 7.1-channel surround sound formats that can also be "loss-less", so there's no compression, they're your best surround sound source available. And Blu-ray players are adaptable, so that basically you're gonna get the best surround sound possible with whichever A/V receiver you have. And if you're interested in 3D, there's a lot of Blu-ray players that are now 3D-ready. Of course, you're going to need a 3D-ready television, some 3D glasses, a 3D Blu-ray player, and a 3D movie.
And who would have thought we would be connecting our movie players to the internet? But that's just what we're doing. So in addition to playing just about any disc you can put in them, you can access all of these cool things from the internet like Netflix and YouTube and Pandora and lots more. In addition to extra features on Blu-rays with BD-Live, most Blu-ray players are capable of connecting to the internet. Some have Wi-Fi built in. Some you need a Wi-Fi adapter to make them Wi-Fi capable but either way they are your entertainment center.
So I know it's a lot to take in. If you need help picking out the right Blu-ray player all you gotta do is give us a call, you can chat with us online, or you can email us. Heck you might even end up talking to me.
Patricia from EriePosted on 8/8/2015
Do i need cable to hook up a blue ray player or a wi-fi connection if my smarttv has a built in wi-fi and ethernet.
ClaudiaPosted on 2/24/2016
I need a simple blu-ray player..I won't be using wifi or internet..all I want is to play my movies..I don't have a clue what I need to buy they all seem to do so many things. I would love a suggestion as to what kind of player I need. Thanks for any suggestions..

Create an RWD Allante ?
I am aware that the Allante is FWD from the factory and this was a horrible mistake. I forget the link, but it can be googled, where a shop has created a RWD swap for the Ford Focus. A Mustang V8 drops right in the engine bay and the swap can be finished in about one weekend.
I'm just curious is anyone has already tried this with the Allante. Anyone know?
I am aware that it would take a lot of time in designing and fabricating a new rear subframe, engine mounts, room form a RWD tranmission for the Northstar, but I also know that it is doable. Anyone in the Allante community a serious gearhead who is into racing?
Anyone visited www.chrfab.com to see what can be done with a Northstar?
I'm into drifting and I like the Allante but being FWD, it can't drift. My last car was a 92 Nissan Skyline GTS4 that had AWD. Now that I'm back in the US, I want something different and thought I would investigate the Allante.
Using a Corvette rear subframe from a C4 seemed like the way to go. Perhaps a C5 would prove better?
Going FWD while all the other luxury coupes of the day that were in the same price range were RWD was a huge mistake that only GM could make.
I am wondering if the center tunnel is large enough to accomodate a driveshaft without serious modification? Even the Acura Integra (which was designed as FWD) was able to accomodate a driveshaft in one shops AWD custom.
I would rather connect a Corvette 5-speed to the N* engine if its even possible. I know the bellhousing would need to be customized. The AT stick in the Allante is certainly long enough to be a perfect stick shift and having the ability to shift is > than AT IMO.
I have asked about this at another Allante site but I thought I would ask here just in case.
On, and I know its apples to oranges on the surface, but I thought I'd add the link to the Kugel V8 RWD kit for the Focus to see how they do it..

No can help. I don't live in Japan right now. I'm back in the US. Plus, I avoided Tokyo like the plague so I don't know of any good shops.

Re: Allante RWD customization?
Anything is possible with egnough time and money. I would never attempt the project as I have too many irons in the fire now with Cadillac 500 swaps into A and G bodys. Thats my personal money pit at the time, but I'm having a blast doing it. If you have the time, money, and a shop, go for it. I would try to find a very inexpensive donor car and start to hack away at it. Good luck if you try, but I would start with a RWD to begin with and save the Allante for a good weekend car. Just my .02 worth.

Re: Allante RWD customization?Originally Posted by Allante North *
FF can do touge but not drift and I want that ability. Plus, when I was in high school the Allante came out and I wanted one so bad. Could not afford one then but I can now. Besides, kits exist for the Focus and Integra (www.brailleauto.com) to be made RWD so I don't see why the Allante cannot be made so as well.
I read on an Allante history site that the bodies were made in Italy and mated to their chassis here in the US. Is the car a unibody design as I suspect or does it have some kind of frame like the Vette? A frame would be easier to deal with than a unibody design but if it is a unibody design then I just think its an unusual way to describe the manufacture of the car.
Re: Allante RWD customization?
I would start out with a 85-89 corvette , then find a junk allante with a junk title thats been in a wreck or a flood or something and use its parts to make the corvette into a period correct "XLR" type thing , the 85-89 vettes are a dime a dozen and if you use a junked allante then your not hurting anything and still building something cool and have the aftermarket to work with the suspension to get the steering raitio and wheel angles setup to drift it

A '93 came with the Northstar so the electronics hook right up. www.chrfab.com makes bell housings to fit the N* to mate up nearly any tranny. I would think a Vette tranny would be ideal. The AT shifter in the Allante looks like a manual shifter anyway.
I have seen a twin engine Eldorado by Mosler. I guess I'm surprised that no one has tried to make a RWD Eldorado as well. I've seen a convertible Eldorado from a shop in Florida so why not a RWD Eldorado as well?

Re: Allante RWD customization?
If true (and it looks to be) a RWD Buick Reatta protoype has been located in Augusta, Georgia. Guy in Arizona is trying to buy it and he says the trunk is smaller due to the sheetmetal work to cover the CORVETTE REAR SUSPENSION!
Makes sense as both the Focus and Integra have to have new sheetmetal in the rear to accomodate the IRS. Hope to have pics soon. Hell, I don't live too far from Chattanooga and wouldn't mind driving to Augusta to get a look!
Will post as soon as I get a chance to see them on a Reatta board I frequent.

Found this on EBAY:
and I've asked the owner about measurements. If he answers, at least we'll know a C4's dimensions.
Re: Allante RWD customization?
The engine cradle used in the Allante's is the same as Eldorado/Seville of the same vintage. The rear suspension was of two types, 1987-92 (one transverse leaf spring) or 1993 (two coils). The engine cradle including the drivetrain and the rear suspension were the parts added to the car after it was shipped to the US. The rest of the body is unitized. It is also very strong

Re: Allante RWD customization?
Went to a Corvette Forum where a very helpful poster put this up:
I found this link for you : http://www.hpsalvage.com/
And under specification (84-87)vette :
All aluminum independent rear with positrac
drum parking brakes incorporated into rear rotors
11 1/2" rotors Single piston aluminum calipers
Fiberglass leaf spring
Ratios 2.59, 2.79, 3.07
2 Models 36(7.875" ring gear) 44(8.5" ring gear)
Model 36 was used behind automatics
Model 44 behind manual transmissions
62" wide hub to hub with discs on
37 1/4" between batwing mounting bolts
44 1/2" between trailing arm mounting bracket bolts.
Hope some members here can soon measure their Allantes. We now know the Vette, so we'll have to see if it works. If not, might have to go to a Lexus SC300 or maybe even somethine else.

I like this pic and it remains the only visual of an Allante undercarriage that I have yet seen.
I have the dimensions on the Corvette IRS and I'm now working on finding out about the SC300 rear subframe. Would like to get measurements on the Allante. In due time I guess.

Contacted some Toyota Soarer/Lexus SC300 owners about their rear IRS setup to get some measurements. But, I got an email today from the DoD saying I was still being considered for overseas assignments...so I don't know what's going to happen.
