Pinion angle
I need to replace the spring perches on my 12 bolt posi rearend in my 69 ss camaro convertible. The pro shop doing it will not weld new perches on without tknowing the pinion angle. I am told that 6* down is correct?
pinion angle
Sounds steep to me. A g-body is 4 deg. The A body probably isn't any different. If you got lots of HP you can go 5 or 6.
pinion angle
6 deg sounds like way to much to me. If you run a traction device such as the cal-trac's 2to3 deg would be the correct amount. If you have enough spring wrap to need 6 deg then there is something wrong.
The correct pinion angle depends on the angle of your trans. You'll need an angle finder (available from Sears for about $10) to measure the angle of the rear face of the trans. Once you have that just reverse the angle and you'll have the proper pinion angle. The optimum is for the angles of the trans and pinion to be parallel, however a difference up to 3* will work.
Here's a graphic that shows how pinion angle can effect the operation of your "U" joints.
pinion angle
I have read centerline's pinion angle theory on the bulletin board on two different threads. I have read the same theory on other sites as well. The diagrams he uses is concentrated on drive shaft angle. It's called pinion angle for a reason. You measure the angle of the pinion. As you add weight to the vehicle. A trailer for example. The angle of the driveshaft will change. The rear of the vehicle will sag causing the driveshaft angle to decrease. But the pinion angle is set by the leaf spring saddles or four bars, etc. No matter how much weight is added to the vehicle the pinion angle never changes because it is centered on the suspension. However, you do set pinion angle with the full weight of the vehicle. Jacking the car up will alter the magnetic protractor's reading because the whole vehicle is now on a downward angle.
The instructions from South Side Machine for setting pinion angle can be found on the http://maliburacing.com/ tech page.

Center's description has nothing to do with drive-shaft angle per se. The cartoon shows an exaggerated pinion/ tranny output shaft offset for effect but the main message is to set the pinion centerline parallel with the tranny shaft centerline, no matter if there is offset in the centerlines or they are perfectly lined up. The first cartoon is the ideal, but the second is great, and is in fact the norm - look at those cartoon-like 4-wheel drive trucks w/ drive shafts @ nearly 45deg angles. As long as the two shaft centerlines are parallel (and the U-joints are in phase of course), things are fine. The last two pictures are absolutely forbidden if you want the drive shaft under the car for any length of time.
The point being, the question in the initial post is incorrectly configured. 6* down for a pinion angle by itself has no meaning. That measurement is meaningful only if the tranny shaft is 6* up.
This graphic is from the maliburacing.com tech page and is an excellent example of what NOT to do. When you read the fine print it says, "Keep in mind that these pinion angles are for competition." If you set your pinion as recommended in this pic on a street driven vehicle, as Willys36 says your drive shaft won't be under the car for very long.
The pinion angle is NOT what is stated in the above pic. The pinion angle is the angle of the pinion gear as it relates to level, not the angle of the drive shaft.
For any street driven vehicle the angle of the transmission output shaft and the pinion angle should be parallel. For best results the total of the two angles shouldn't exceed more than 6*. Anyone who recommends something different is just plain wrong... unless they're talking about "racing". The setup in the pic above will work for racing because..... Under extreme acceleration there is a tendency for the pinion gear to try to "climb" the ring gear. When this happens the effective pinion angle winds up being roughly parallel with the trans output shaft. Make no mistake about it, this setup will NOT last for long on the street.
For a street driven vehicle the following are the recommended settings.
For a more detailed explanation on how to properly set pinion and driveline angles check out Inland Empire Driveline.

Runyan's photography exhibit focuses on mothers in the South
Release Date: 12/16/2013
Rikki Runyan's senior art exhibit, "God and Her Family: Matriarchy in the American South," was inspired by her study of mothers in the American Southern culture.
Runyan's exhibit of black and white photography was featured in the Walton Fine Arts Center in early December as part of the Senior Art Exhibit Series. Runyan, from McGehee, Ark., is scheduled to graduate in the spring with a degree in art and English.
In the "God and Her Family: Matriarchy in the American South" exhibit, Runyan said her curiosity for the project was sparked "by the vast amount of stereotypes that Southern women face."
Senior art and English major Rikki Runyan's black and white photography exhibit "God and Her Family" Matriarchy in the American South," examines the role and stereotypes of mothers in American Southern culture.
"I spoke with a collection of individuals, asking what they thought of when they heard the term 'Southern mother,' Runyan said. "Descriptors and phrases that came up frequently included: too young, probably uneducated, barefoot and pregnant, and shot-gun-wedding. Others addressed more broadly the role of Southern women, and the assumption that appeared most predominantly was that women in Southern regions are submissive to a conservative, patriarchal culture. To investigate this cultural assumption, I met with families, photographed them in moments of their daily lives, and conducted short interviews with the mothers."
Runyan said that when talking to the women, she was "overwhelmed by their determination to continue pursuing their life goals while raising children."
"These women are predominantly young mothers, and their pregnancies were typically unplanned, resulting in social detriment," Runyan said. "One young woman was specifically told that 'God would never let [her] into heaven after what [she] had done.' They were told that their lives were over. This assumption could not be farther from the truth. Among the women featured in this exhibit, there are a few who have built careers in service industries, but there are also teachers, nurses and one young woman studying to become a pediatrician."
The photography project gave Runyan an entirely new respect for mothers in the South.
"The fathers in these families, if present at all, are typically expected to perform one task: bring home a paycheck," she said. "Conversely, women hold down a job, raise the children, maintain the home and provide meals. For the wives and mothers, family becomes their entire life; they often lose contact with friends and rarely get even a night to themselves. Yet, rather than allowing this system to discourage or subjugate them, these women use their position in the family to empower them. They control the family; they act as governesses to household affairs and the lives of children and husbands. When these women were asked to comment on the role of women in Southern culture, nearly every answer was the same: God and her family. In this way, these women have worked within a system which appears to have been designed against them. Yet, the culture they create is undoubtedly matriarchal in nature."
Runyan said she drew inspiration from a talk she had with poet C.D. Wright, who visited campus earlier in the semester as part of the Walton Arts & Ideas Series.
"She told me during her visit to our campus, 'You don't represent people. Let them represent themselves.' " Runyan said. "If you experience anything inspiring or powerful in these images and interviews, I did not create this presence; I merely captured it."

The Jimmy Dore Show 3-23-12
The Jimmy Dore Show march 23,2012
This Week:
In the Oh My God! segment we are treated to a sound bite of fear and sexual repression from "American Family Association" radio host and Fox News contributor Sandy Rios. She is certain that if you view pornography you will eventually have sex with children. She also connects the dots between porn and the election of a certain president, can you guess which one?
Robert DiNero told a very funny joke at an Obama fundraiser that he has already apologized for. He named the wives of the presidential contenders and asked "Is AMerica really ready for a white first lady?". Yes that is the joke that he apologized for after Newt Gingrich was pretend offended for ALL of his wives over it. And yes, Newt points out that Robert Di Nero's joke is EXACTLY LIKE WHAT RUSH DID! That didn't take long, did it?
Rick Santorum says that the "economy" is the central issue in this campaign. Yeah sure it is Rick, right
after abortion, gay marriage, contraception, pornography and all those naughty thoughts about your penis. He even said that president "favors pornographers over children". Candy Crowley incredulously asks him to explain that ridiculous statement and, god bless him, he repeats it.
Larry Flynt calls in to support the candidacy of Rick Santorum. Yes, I was shocked too. Turns out, It's not that he likes Rick Santorum, its that sexual shame is the backbone of the porn industry and nobody throws around more of it than good 'ole Rick.

WH inaugural luncheon: 3000 calories?
posted at 2:26 pm on January 21, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
Do as we say, not as we do. Unlike some others, I have no problem with the First Lady's efforts to push for awareness of the health choices of our food — as long as the "awareness" doesn't turn into mandates and legislation, or in edicts like the Big Apple's Big Gulp ban. But if one wants to impress upon others the need to watch caloric and fat intake, shouldn't that mean a personal demonstration of restraint? Apparently not, as Diets in Review calculates with help from Calorie Count:
One full serving is more than 3,000 calories! Lobster in clam chowder sauce, grilled bison and a finish of rich apple pie with homemade ice cream take no time to zip past a single day's calorie reserve.CalorieCount.com's Rachel Berman, RD, CSR, CDN – who compiled this year's Inaugural Luncheon nutritional statistics – was a little shocked by the numbers, too, and felt that although it's fine and even healthy to treat ourselves once in a while, the figures were a bit too to justify.
"It's OK to indulge every once in awhile and if the Presidential Inauguration isn't a special, celebratory occasion to do so, I don't know what is," she said. "However, in light of the first lady's obesity initiatives and the fact that the menu was made public, it was definitely a missed opportunity for nutrition education, for example, to offer lightened-up recipe alternatives (even if just on the website)."
Steamed lobster, New England clam chowder, hickory-grilled bison, and Hudson Valley apple pie with sour cream ice cream? Sounds delicious! But with Time Magazine and the CSPI griping about the Cheesecake Factory's Bistro Shrimp Pasta, which also rings up 3,000 calories, it'll be interesting to see whether the same outrage greets the White House for its selection.

Pecan-Cranberry ShortbreadShortbread never tasted so good thanks to this decadent chocolate drizzle!
Shortbread Starter
Once you master JK's easy, 5-ingredient shortbread dough, you're well on your way to creating and decorating incredible cookie characters.
The Best Shortbread RecipesShortbread cookies make tasty food gifts at Christmastime (or any other time of year!). The rich butter flavor and crumbly texture of this cookie makes it a staple of holiday baking. It's very easy to make. And the cookie variations with this recipe are unlimited.
Dark Chocolate-Espresso ShortbreadWho knew that adding cocoa powder and instant coffee to shortbread dough would produce such a deep, dark chocolate treat? The easy dough is shaped in a circle that's scored and cut into triangles and then dipped in white and dark chocolate.
- James Carrier
Scottish ShortbreadWith just four ingredients, these buttery-rich shortbread cookies can be made in the food processor or with a handheld mixer. Because they're baked in pans rather than free form, shaping the cookies is a snap, too. Shortbread doesn't get any easier.

Recipe: Brown Sugar Shortbread
Cranberry-Pecan Cheese WafersShortbread can be sweet and savory with these cheese wafers.
- Evan Sklar
Maple-Walnut ShortbreadA twist on the traditional, these cookies are flavored with maple syrup and strewn with walnuts that toast to a nutty-rich flavor as the shortbread bakes. Instead of worrying about scoring and shaping the dough, the shortbread bakes in a single layer and is cut after cooking.
Recipe: Maple-Walnut Shortbread
- Photo: Kate Sears; Styling: Toni Brogen
Chocolate-Dipped Hazelnut Shortbread HeartsInstead of the traditional triangle or square shapes, this easy shortbread dough is rolled and cut into heart shapes and then dipped in chocolate and nuts. It also looks spectacular cut into stars or trees with edges dipped in white chocolate and rolled in nuts or sprinkles.
- Photo: Randy Mayor; Styling: Cindy Barr
Vanilla Bean ShortbreadUse pantry staples and a flavorful vanilla bean to create these delicate cookies. Have a holiday party coming up and need a make-ahead dessert? Prepare these shortbreads up to five days in advance.
Recipe: Vanilla Bean Shortbread

Recipe: Raspberry Shortbread Sandwiches
Cheddar ShortbreadWho says shortbread has to be sweet? Try this savory shortbread and you'll be seeing stars—cheddar stars.
Brown Sugar-Pecan ShortbreadDark brown sugar adds rich caramel notes to these shortbread cookies; turbinado sugar provides a crunch.
Rosemary Shortbread CookiesFresh rosemary adds a fragrant quality to these delicate cookies. And because the herb traditionally represents remembrance, a batch of these treats is ideal as a thank-you.
Pecan-Toffee ShortbreadThese cookies make a great food gift for pecan lovers.
- Annabelle Breakey
Savory Spiced ShortbreadsWorld travelers and adventurous eaters will appreciate the sweet and spicy curry flavor that tints these shortbreads and takes the taste buds on an Oriental Express-style adventure.
Recipe: Savory Spiced Shortbreads
Butter-Mint ShortbreadA dash of mint extract gives these buttery shortbread cookies an extra splash of flavor. Choose peppermint or spearmint extract to give them the flavor twist you prefer; then serve them with hot mint tea or a tall glass of sweet tea and a slice of fresh lemon.

I know that they are the #1 size pellet used for Skeet, but woundered if they would work at trap with their minimum energys
at longer shots, past 25 yards.
At the 16 yard, I started of with a lead mod choke and the normal distance of 30 to 35 yards ,the standard breaking distance,was no problem. I then switched over to a Full choke and kept letting the birds go farter and farther out, hoping for misses, to see what the little #9's limit was.
The Lowery data said that 35-40 yards was the limit with .55 to .45 ft lbs energy to be able to break the clay targets. I don't know if it was the elevation of 4,500 feet here in Reno or what, but with a Full choke, I was able to break the clays out at around 49 yards ,or more, just before they hit the ground on their drop !! A plesent surprise but I know that this would not work on game birds that take .55 to .70 ft lbs of energy, for a killing shot.
If you don't reload 9's a #8 at 1145fps will also do the "Oakley" shots at the end of the 16 yard maximum distances ,while a standard 8 @ 1180fps is the "Big Dog" of light trap loads that ,just, crushes the clay birds.
Good shooting.

Hempstead, NY – Sophomore attack Brittain Altomare had a team-high two goals and sophomore goalie Kelsey Gregerson made six saves, including one at point-blank range with ten seconds remaining, as the Hofstra Women's Lacrosse team stunned Towson, 6-5, on Friday evening at James M. Shuart Stadium.
The win by Hofstra ended Towson's conference win streak at 17 games. The streak dated back to April 2011.
Gregerson made five of her saves in the second half as the Hofstra defense clamped down and held Towson to just one goal after intermission.
The win moved Hofstra's record to 9-6 overall and 3-2 in Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) play. Towson suffered its first conference loss of the season and falls to 7-8 and 5-1 in league action.
Senior attack Taylor Albright had a strong game for the Pride as well as she contributed a goal and an assist. Freshman midfielder/attack Becky Conto notched a game-high three draw controls and added a goal in the game, while sophomore defender April Iannetta continued her excellent play as she had three ground balls, two draw controls and two caused turnovers.
An entertaining first half would see Hofstra have to battle back on multiple occasions as the Tigers led on four separate occasions in the opening stanza.
Paige Duncan opened the scoring in the game at the 19:25 mark before junior attack Julia Riemer tied the score for the first time less than four minutes later off an assist from Albright.
Altomare would score both of her goals in the first 30 minutes as she helped keep Hofstra within striking distance.
Despite outshooting Towson, 17-9, in the first half Hofstra would go into the break trailing, 4-3, as Ashley Waldron scored a free-position goal with 1:52 left to give the Tigers the halftime advantage.
The second half would see the teams combine for four goals with neither squad finding the back of the net until junior midfielder Liz Anders knotted the score at four with 15:36 left in regulation.
Albright would give Hofstra its first lead of the game with 12:11 left in the second half as she scored off an assist from senior midfielder Casey Kellogg. Roughly two minutes later, Hofstra would get a much-needed insurance goal as Conto scored an unassisted tally to make it 6-4 in favor of the Pride.
That goal proved to be the most important of the contest as Jackie LaMonica scored with 8:05 left to cut the Towson deficit to one goal, but the Hofstra defense would stand strong down the stretch to seal the victory for the Pride.
Duncan led all players with three goals in the game, while Ashleigh Rohrback chipped in with a pair of assists. Duncan also added three draw controls and Katie Leech had four ground balls to pace the Tigers.
Altomare tied Iannetta for team-high honors in ground balls with three.
Hofstra outshot Towson, 27-19, in the game, while winning seven of the 13 draw controls contested.
Kelsea Donnelly had 13 saves for Towson.
Hofstra returns to action on Sunday when it travels to Delaware for a 1 p.m. game.

If I put on the helmet as is w/o any inner padding, the eye slit lines up w/ my eyes, but the bottoms of the ears will be hitting my shoulder once I have armor on. If I add padding, my site will be impaired. Any thoughts will be appreciated. Thanks

I remember, a long time ago (in a galaxy far, far away?), beta-testing a Boba Fett video game. It was a top-down space shooter where your goal was to chase down and capture bounties in their spaceships. For games with similar gameplay, take a look at Escape Velocity, Transcendence, or SubSpace/Continuum.
I found this game on BFFC a long time ago, and I'm talking like the mid-to-late 90s.
I can't find any mention of it on BFFC, nor anywhere else on the internet. Does anyone remember this game?
I would ask on the BFFC forums, but if I ever had an account there, it's not active anymore, because none of the usernames I use are in the list of users on BFFC's forums.
If anyone remembers this game, it's name, or where to find it, it would make me quite happy if you would share what you remember.

I meant chicken eggs. Wouldn't want someone to come up with hummingbird eggs. :roll:
I thought.....assumed :shock: ..... everyone knew that was a chicken egg in the picture. Far be it from me to even slightly hint at the mental deficiencies of any member of Beemaster's International Beekeeping forums. Therefore one would easily come to the conclusion that all who read this and saw the picture would know it was a contest of small eggs emitted by the foul known as chicken. Perhaps I over estimated the reasoning abilities of the aforementioned peoples.
JP, the rest of us are not "meanies" & would love to see your pics! :-D J
Quote from: poka-bee on March 08, 2009, 10:35:06 PMJP, the rest of us are not "meanies" & would love to see your pics! :-D JIts Jerry's post and he said they have to be from chickens....JP :idunno:
Perhaps you should just admit you weren't specific enough when you said "Perhaps we should have a small egg contest."Of course everyone who views your first picture assumes its a chicken egg, it sure looks like one. But you were not specific as to what eggs would be included in your little egg contest and that's why Akane posted his picture of quail eggs.And I was going to post some gecko egg pictures but you're not going to see them now Jerry, cause you're a meanie!...JP
Where is Jerry tonite? Measuring eggs? No, chicken eggs!

Ozarks student commissioned as delegate to national Presbyterian General Assembly
Release Date: 6/11/2012
Ryan Smith, a sophomore from Springdale, Ark., has been commissioned as the Arkansas student representative to attend the 220th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA) when it gathers June 30 through July 7 in Pittsburgh, Penn.
Ryan Smith, a sophomore from Springdale, Ark., has been commissioned as the Arkansas student representative to attend the 220th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA).
"The General Assembly meets every two years," said Smith. "This is the PC-USA's biggest meeting. It's where they vote on what is going to happen with all the Presbyteries all over the country. Each state sends four delegates as well as one or two college delegates. So that's where I'm going for a week. I'll get to meet and spend time with all the other youth delegates from around the country. They have a bunch of activities scheduled to help us get to know one another. Best of all, we get so sit in on the General Assembly itself and participate in their activities."
The week-long meeting also hosts numerous ticketed presentations on a wide variety of subjects pertaining to Presbyterianism and serving in the church.
Smith says his connection to the event, and his invitation to participate, came as a result of his father, J. Stewart Smith.
"My dad is the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Springdale," he said. "I've been helping out with youth activities at my hometown church since I've begun to feel a religious calling. I'm a member of U of O Presbyterian Campus Ministries, and I serve on the Youth Advisory Team for the Arkansas Presbytery, so my name was out there already. The person who was supposed to go as college delegate had to pull out for some reason, and they were looking for a replacement when my name came up. So they contacted my father to ask if I'd like to be their delegate, and of course I said yes."
"I fly out to Pittsburgh on June 29," Smith said. "The youth activities begin a little earlier than the rest of the Assembly so we have time to figure out what's going on, meet one another, and study through the agendas for the Assembly on what's going to be voted on and so forth. It all goes until July 7."
Smith is currently majoring is English with an emphasis on religion, but that could change.
"I've taken a couple business classes lately that have caught my attention, so I'm considering changing to that, or perhaps communications," he said.
Smith said whatever he ends up majoring in, his faith will be a part of his career once he's finished at U of O. He said he knows he definitely wants to be involved in youth ministry. "I genuinely feel I can help kids," he said. "I love helping people in general, and I want to help kids toward strengthening their relation with God. I feel I could do that and combine it somehow with the business or marketing world. Maybe do marketing in conjunction with my youth ministry. I'll figure it out."
Smith says coming to Ozarks was a natural choice for him. "I love it here," he said. "The first time I stepped on campus, I knew this was the place I wanted to be. It was home, the best possible place I could imagine to further my education. And it is."

Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs should be quite familiar by now.
The two sides spent much of Thursday in negotiations for Reid to become the Chiefs' coach, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to discuss the situation.
The discussions followed nine hours of talks Wednesday that went well enough that Reid canceled plans to interview for other openings, the person told the AP. It was unclear which details were preventing the two sides from reaching an agreement.
The Philadelphia Eagles fired Reid after 14 seasons on Monday, the same day the Chiefs parted ways with coach Romeo Crennel after the worst season in franchise history.
The search for Crennel's replacement has been led by Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt, who intends to take on more responsibility in the day-to-day operation of the franchise. Also on hand was team president Mark Donovan, who has a connection to Reid after spending six seasons as the Eagles' senior vice president of business operations.
Coaching carousel
The Indianapolis Colts want offensive coordinator Bruce Arians to stick around a little longer.
They also understand he wants to become an NFL head coach.
On Thursday, the Colts said Arians had been granted permission to speak with the Chicago Bears about their head coaching vacancy, though it's unclear when the interview will take place because Indy (11-5) will face AFC North champion Baltimore (10-6) in a wild-card round game Sunday. The winner will go to either Denver or New England in the divisional round.
Arians has been an NFL assistant for 20 years. His only head coaching experience came during a six-year stint at Temple where he was 27-39 in the 1980s.
But this year, he moved to the top of the head coaching carousel after leading the Colts to a 9-3 record as the interim coach while Chuck Pagano battled leukemia.
• With Reid no longer in the picture, the Arizona Cardinals have received permission to interview Pittsburgh offensive coordinator Todd Haley for their head coaching job, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.
Haley, former head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, was offensive coordinator for Arizona in the Cardinals' Super Bowl run in the 2008 season and has a good relationship with Cardinals president Michael Bidwill.
Around the league
Cowboys • An autopsy found that practice squad player Jerry Brown Jr. was sober when he was killed in a crash that led to an intoxication manslaughter charge against teammate Josh Brent, who was driving. The Dallas County Medical Examiner's Office reported Thursday that Brown died of head and neck trauma when their vehicle overturned. He had a dislocated neck, a severely bruised spine and a blood alcohol content of 0.056 percent.
49ers • Placekicker David Akers says he received death threats on Twitter and has closed the account. Akers says the threats came last week. Unlike 2011, when he made 44 of 52 field goals, Akers has been in a slump this season. He is 29 for 42 on field goals.
Vikings • Cornerback Antoine Winfield did not practice Thursday and plans to wear a bigger cast on his broken right hand in the playoff game against Green Bay this weekend. Winfield wore a pad on his hand in the game on Sunday, but could not finish because it swelled up and was causing him too much pain.
Playoffs schedule
• Cincinnati at Houston, 2:30 p.m., Ch. 5
• Minnesota at Green Bay, 6 p.m., Ch. 5
• Indianapolis at Baltimore, 11 a.m., Ch. 2
• Seattle at Washington, 2:30 p.m., Ch. 13


text: I Was Bullied. by Paul and Anna Albert • September 19, 2012 I know the wounds can be deep; trust me, I've been there. I spent six years of my life terrified to walk into school. I spent six years trying to figure out what to wear, how to act, what to do in order for the bullying to stop. I started hanging out with the "cool kids," but it only got worse, so I joined the sport teams and clubs, and that didn't help, so I decided to just give up.

FileMaker Pro 9 : The Missing Manual -- Review
By Tom Cremer
from Undisclosed
Comments about oreilly FileMaker Pro 9: The Missing Manual:
FileMaker Pro 9 : The Missing Manual/ Geoff Coffey and Susan ProsserPogue Press/O'Reilly Sebastapol, California 2007. US $34.99"FileMaker Pro 9 : The Missing Manual" Review -- Thomas CremerFilemaker Pro is a database application (a program for storing any systematic collection of information) compatible with both Mac OS X and Windows and other platforms. It is known for being easy to use and powerful as well. Filemaker was developed in the 1980's and is now very popular and adaptable, you don't have to be a "geek" or a programmer to use it. Home users to large corporations such as NASA are amongst the millions of users of this database management system. Apple uses Filemaker as the database to handle customers and transactions to do with the online store, for example.FMP can handle relational databases, which are collections of related files that share data like invoice numbers which link important transaction information together, such as customer, inventory, or shipping and handling data.Geoff Coffey and Susan Prosser are the authors of this "Missing Manual" and their book helps novices to create their own databases, covering the changes in versions 8.5 and 9. FMP comes with printed and online documentation, but it is not as user-friendly or as detailed as the Missing Manual. Coffey and Prosser have been developers and users of FMP for over ten years, and their language is simple, helpful and non-technical, just the ticket for "newbies" eager to learn. The exciting thing about FMP is that users can begin with ready to go templates or so-called starter solutions, which are available for many common database needs. The book, published in August this year, covers old and new features of FMP thoroughly, with many examples and sample databases. For readers who prefer the PDF format, that version of the book is available on the oreilly.com website, advertised on the last page.The first three chapters give the reader a quick tour of the main features of FMP, getting started on a simple contact management database, used to track useful details of people, organizing and editing records in such a database and designing a contact database from the perspective of the user.The second part of this book discusses database structure, looking at layouts or views of records as used for different purposes. A computer database can generate tags, forms, envelopes, labels, reports and even mass mail-outs. FMP can now use links to information like shipping details found on the internet with the new webviewer function. Layouts and reports are covered in chapters 4,5, and 6.Part 3 explains relational databases, a major strength of FileMaker Pro. This complicated section is systematically and expertly approached, something that cannot be adequately done by the online documentation of FMP alone.Powerful calculations performed by database functions are introduced to the reader by chapters nine to twelve. Actually processing data is basic to FMP, doing all sorts of useful things like summing, analysing and comparing values. Functions done with numeric data include mathematical, financial and trigonometric processes. A scientific or statistical research background would be very useful to readers working on this aspect of database development. FMP can be a very sophisticated tool, useful for much more than routine business inventories. Data can be output in the form of PDF or Excel files.Scripting is a form of programming which can automatically perform a series of steps working on database information to produce a useful, routine report. Scripting can be a tool for developing very specialized databases. Three chapters of the book are devoted to ever more complicated scripting examples, beginning with the basics and building up to advanced forms. Luckily for the novice database user, FMP can be used with about 40 different templates without necessarily requiring scripting skills. This Missing Manual book illustrates what a powerful tool FileMaker Pro can be in its latest incarnation, depending on the skills of the developers and the users.Database security is about which users can access the database, what privileges they have while working with it (what aspects of the database they can modify), and who they can share information with. External sources of data like SQL and ODBC are discussed, data sharing over networks and the internet, and setting up a FileMaker server are all advanced topics covered in chapters sixteen to eighteen. FileMaker Pro 9 can now be integrated with external data sources such as Microsoft SQL servers, so FMP can talk to the rest of the information world.The final chapter covers special programs for FMP developers, including database structures, and script debugging, or working out problems with scripting. The final sections on security and database development are fairly advanced, and everyday users of FileMaker Pro will not have to concern themselves too much with them. The beauty of this book is that it gives readers an overall view of issues involved in working with FileMaker Pro from the basics right through to advanced problems. The appendices on Getting Help and FileMaker Error Codes are very useful, while the table of contents and the index are excellent for finding help as users work with FileMaker Pro 9. This "Missing Manual" book well and truly lives up to the formidable reputation that this series of software books deserves, and authors Geoff Coffey and Susan Prosser are to be congratulated for tackling a complex topic so well. FileMaker Pro 9 users are thus given the confidence they need to work with this popular database software.

My pit is in the middle of a rice field and the farmer is yet to leave me a "false levee".
Last year he burned the field anyway, so all I had was very short stubble that didn't last long
Into the season.
Thought about lining up a bunch of square bales on both sides
Of the pit, then going out into the field in front and behind me and off setting several more lines of square bales
. In theory this would look like a few broken check rows scattered in the field .
Waste of time or would or help?

Beijing: China's support for tougher sanctions against North Korea has been prompted in part by concerns of an evolving US-anchored missile defence system on its borders, say Chinese and Western analysts.
The missile defence systems involve new land- and sea-based radar systems, missile interceptors and intelligence sharing between the US and its regional allies which is aimed at shooting down a North Korean missile during the relatively low-velocity launch phase.
Analysts note that these systems could also be used to shoot down missiles launched from China's eastern regions.
Australia is building three air warfare destroyers with AEGIS radar and missile control systems that can be potentially integrated into the US system.
''North Korea's test of a nuclear warhead and missile may not bring much of a [direct] threat to China,'' said Cai Jian, a North Korea expert at Shanghai's Fudan University. ''But the response from Japan or South Korea, or America's strategic advances into the region, are more disadvantageous to China. ''These are the reasons China opposes North Korea's tests.''
The sanctions against last month's nuclear test by North Korea were jointly drafted by China and the US and endorsed by the UN Security Council on Thursday night. They will make it more difficult for Pyongyang to shift money and technology in aid of its nuclear program.
''These sanctions will bite and bite hard,'' said Susan Rice, the US ambassador to the UN.
The UN resolution follows Pyongyang's successful ballistic missile test in December as well as a colourful stream of bellicose invective, even by its standards. Prior to the agreement Pyongyang threatened to turn South Korea into ''a sea of flames''.
Several analysts said the effectiveness of the sanctions would depend on China adopting a far greater level of enforcement than it has previously.
Regional missile defence systems are evolving in response to North Korea's weapons program and also to increasing concerns about China's military intentions. ''It allows Japan to say 'we're building a missile defence systems against North Korea but we can also use it to defend ourselves against China,' '' said Scott Harold, a security expert with the Rand Corporation in Hong Kong.
Dr Harold said the US has been strongly encouraging South Korea and Japan to engage in defence co-operation. ''Beijing is worried that this is a prelude to a trilateral alliance or a Pacific version of NATO,'' he said.
Those defence systems may, in turn, prompt China to build more missiles.
''The overall direction in which missile defence is going means the US, Japan, probably South Korea and Australia, get used to and work on the basis of integrating their systems,'' said Stephan Fruehling, an expert on missile defence systems at the Australian National University's Strategic and Defence Studies Centre.
''This has political implications and symbolism, and that is what is causing China grief,'' he said.
Sam Roggeveen, editor of the Lowy Institute's The Interpreter website, said there was a risk of a regional ballistic missile and ballistic missile defence race.
''The easiest way to defeat ballistic missile defences is to overwhelm them with numbers,'' he said.
Chinese analysts say Beijing's backing of the new round of UN sanctions reflects frustration with North Korea but not a shift in its underlying strategic calculus.
''People are fed up with North Korea but I'm not sure this signifies a new age,'' said Jia Qingguo, professor of international relations at Peking University. ''China's policies are in a transitional period, China is in a transitional period, and I think this period might be quite long.''

Fort Hood Shooting Aftermath
KILLEEN, Texas (CNN) -- Fort Hood.
The name has been seared in our collective memory since a soldier went on a deadly shooting spree there in 2009.
On Wednesday, it happened again.
Specialist Ivan Lopez went from one building at the sprawling Texas military base to a second, firing a .45 caliber handgun -- killing three people and wounding 16 more.
Then the 34-year-old Iraq vet put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger, ending his life and taking with him the reasons for his action.
Authorities are downplaying terrorism -- although they haven't ruled it out until the investigation is complete.
"There are initial reports there may have been an argument in one of the unit areas," Lt. Gen Mark Milley, the post's commanding general, told reporters late Wednesday.
Officers picked up Lopez' wife at their apartment near the base in Killeen, and she was cooperating with law enforcement, an FBI official told CNN.
The man, whom a neighbor said often gave her a friendly wave, was plagued by multiple mental health issues.
Lopez was new on the base, having only arrived there in February. He, his wife and their small daughter moved into their apartment a little more than a week before the shooting.
They were a normal couple, said neighbor Xanderia Morris. "They would smile whenever they'd see someone," she said.
But behind Lopez' smile lay intense emotional torment -- of depression, anxiety and other psychiatric disorders. He was receiving treatment and medication, Milley said.
He served for four months in Iraq in 2011. And while army records don't show him as having been wounded there, Lopez himself reported that he had suffered a traumatic brain injury, Milley said.
He was undergoing diagnosis procedures for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
"He was not diagnosed, as of today, with PTSD," Milley said.
Arriving at the diagnosis of the mental ailment that plagues so many war veterans takes time.
Lopez carried out the killings with a privately owned gun -- a .45 caliber Smith and Wesson semiautomatic pistol he purchased after arriving in Killeen.
When he took it onto the base, he was breaking the rules.
"If you have weapons and you're on base, it's supposed to be registered on base," Milley said. "This weapon was not registered on base."
In addition, people are not allowed to walk around with guns on a military base. They are required to store them in a secured armory.
The exact sequence of events is not entirely clear. But around 4 p.m., Lopez walked into a building at the base and opened fire. He then got into a car, fired from the vehicle, walked into another building and fired again.
He killed three and wounded 16 -- all of them were army personnel.
Three of the wounded remained in critical condition early Thursday morning.
Authorities could not say whether Lopez knew his victims.
The shootings took place in the medical brigade and the transportation battalion buildings. Lopez was assigned to the 13th sustainment command, which deals with the logistical responsibilities for the post.
The spree went on for about 15 to 20 minutes, Milley said.
The base housing more than 45,000 soldiers and nearly 9,000 civilian employees went on lockdown.
People were told to shelter in place.
Pvt. Dehlan Kay stayed in his barrack, as sirens went off.
"I'm doing good," he told CNN's Wolf Blitzer. "I'm just a little nervous on what's happening."
The all-clear wouldn't go out for another six hours.
At the Lopez apartment, his wife was watching reports of the shooting on TV.
She came out crying, said Morris, the neighbor.
"I'm just worried, I'm just worried," Lopez' wife told her. She hadn't heard from her husband all afternoon.
"I tried to console her and comfort her, let her know everything was OK," Morris said.
They had no idea who the shooter was at the time.
Then, a local TV station identified the gunman as Lopez.
The wife became "hysterical," Morris said.
It took law enforcement about 15 minutes to respond to the gunfire, Milley said.
An officer confronted Lopez in a parking lot.
He reached under his jacket for his pistol, and put it to his head. He fired. Death by self-inflicted gun shot wound.
"It was clearly heroic what she did," Milley said of the offier. "She did her job and she did exactly what we would expect of the U.S. military police."
Here, Lopez' actions differed from Fort Hood's last mass shooter.
Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan survived after killing 13 people and injuring another 32 on November 5, 2009.
The former military psychiatrist openly told a court that he was on a terrorist mission.
During a hearing in June he said that he fired at soldiers preparing to deploy to Afghanistan to protect leading members of the Taliban.
Hasan was convicted of premeditated murder, and a military jury recommended that he be put to death.
Reporters prodded Milley about the 2009 shooting and Lopez' rampage -- a repeat tragedy.
But he would not entertain the notion.
"My reaction was not 'not again here,'" he said. "My reaction was to immediately make sure we had a read on the casualties. Immediately secure the site. Immediately look for one or more shooters."
But others were more introspective.
"As a community, it's like you've been kicked in the gut. It can't be happening again," said Killeen Mayor Dan Corbin.
No community should have to experience such violence once, let alone twice, said John Cornyn, a U.S. senator from Texas.
"We're heartbroken something like this might have happened again," said President Obama, who was briefed by top defense and FBI leaders by phone while traveling on Air Force One.
Fort Hood has been resilient before, Gov. Rick Perry said. And it will again.

Pediatric Genetics
What is a Pediatric Geneticist?
Pediatric geneticists are physicians with special training in both pediatrics and genetics, who serve as consultants to a patient's primary care provider. Working with both out-patients and hospital in-patients, they diagnose genetic conditions and recommend follow-up care, which is implemented by the referring physician. At the Harvey Institute, the pediatric geneticist is Dr. Antonie (Tonie) Kline. As in most genetics centers, a genetic counselor is also an integral part of GBMC's pediatric genetics team.
What Sorts of Patients Does a Pediatric Geneticist See?
Pediatric genetics consultations are usually recommended for:
- Birth defect(s)
- Known or suspected genetic syndrome or disorder
- Intellectual disability of unknown cause
- Family history of genetic condition
What Happens During a Pediatric Genetics Consultation?
- Medical Records: Whether the consultation occurs in the geneticist's office or at the bedside, all available medical records are reviewed before the patient is seen. From these, the geneticist and the genetic counselor construct a detailed family history. A three-generation family history, including both sides of the family, is the cornerstone of any genetic evaluation. Not only does it help provide answers to the referring physician's questions, but it may reveal other genetic issues in the family.
- The Visit: An initial outpatient visit usually lasts about 90 minutes. In-patient evaluations are variable in length. The patient is examined and, with permission, photographs may be taken. At the end of the visit, all findings are reviewed with the patient's family. For outpatient consults, a written assessment is provided and recommendations are made. The referring physician is contacted immediately by telephone, if urgent, and subsequently receives a written clinical summary of the visit, a copy of which is also sent to the family. Inpatient cases are discussed with the family and with the hospital staff, who arranges for the pediatric geneticist's recommendations to be carried out. The inpatient's primary care physician receives a summary letter, a copy of which is sent to the family.
Health Insurance
Most health insurances cover outpatient genetics consultations with referral and/or precertification. Co-payments are at the specialist rate. However, just as they have contracts with specific laboratories, many health insurers have contracts with genetics providers. You should contact your health insurance company to discuss their requirements for outpatient genetics consultations. In-patient genetics consults are covered under the terms of the patient's hospitalization insurance.

Forrester's CMO Group fielded a survey in December in partnership with Advertising Age, to get a handle on what CMOs and marketing leaders are making a strategic priority in 2011. The article appears in Advertising Age's CMO Strategy column.
The results? Fifty-two percent of respondents said that effectively maximizing the marketing budget and developing a culture that fosters and supports marketing innovation rank at or near the top of their priority list. Thirty-eight percent said that optimizing the structure of the marketing organization to be adaptable will be important in 2011. These survey results reflect the fact that CMOs are scrambling to stay ahead of rapidly-changing consumer behavior, media, and technology but are also striving to achieve the accountability demanded in lean times. Consumers' rapidly changing reality commands agility and speed, but business realities command investments that are grounded in data.

18 April 2011 Part One A9 TV, Adıyaman Asu TV
In the name of Allah, All-Merciful, Most Merciful
1- By the star when it descends,
This refers to the sinking of the Sun of Islam.
2- your companion [the prophet] is not misguided or misled;
They accused our Prophet (saas) of excess and perversion, may Allah forbid. In other words, they alleged he was insane. But it also refers to Hazrat Mahdi (as).
The Mahdi is the Lord of Time. Who was the Lord of Time in those days? Our Prophet (saas). Who is the Lord of Time of the End Times? Hazrat Mahdi (as).
3- nor does he speak from whim.
Our Prophet (saas) does not speak as the fancy takes him. Hazrat Mahdi (as) will not speak as the fancy takes him. Because he, too, will act under inspiration from an angel, insha'Allah.
4- It is nothing but Revelation revealed,
5- taught him by one immensely strong,
6- possessing power and splendour. He stood there stationary –
Gabriel (as) is wonderfully attractive. Our Prophet (saas) fell in love with his beauty. Gabriel (as) is wondrously beautiful.
7- there on the highest horizon.
8- Then he drew near and hung suspended.
9- He was two bow-lengths away or even closer.
This, of course, is a very profound mystical, spiritual secret. I will reveal that secret when the time comes, insha'Allah.
10- Then He revealed to His servant what He revealed.
11- His heart did not lie about what he saw.
12- What! Do you dispute with him about what he saw?
13- He saw him again another time
14- by the Lote-tree of the Final Limit,
15- beside which is the Garden of Refuge,
16- when that which covered the Lote-tree covered it.
17- His eye did not waver nor did he look away.
Our Prophet (saas) never took his eyes away from the place. He looked where he was told to look, not where he was told not to look. There are very deep secrets here, of course. Some have already been revealed, while others will be explained in the End Times.
18- He saw some of the Greatest Signs of his Lord.
19- Have you really considered al-Lat and al-'Uzza
20- and Manat, the third, the other one?*
How many idols were there? Al-Lat, al-'Uzza and Manat. What do Christians do? They produce three idols. May Allah forbid. Surely He is beyond that. They try to manufacture idols other than Allah. That perverse belief in the Trinity. There was a belief in the Trinity even then. They just continued the Trinity.
21- Do you have males and He females?
22- That is a most unfair division!
23 They are nothing but names which you yourselves have given, you and your forefathers. Allah has sent down no authority for them. They are following nothing but conjecture and what their own selves desire.And that when guidance has reached them from their Lord!
They made it up. Allah says they just invented in line with their own desires. Our Prophet (saas) came as a guide. Jesus the Messiah also told them the truth. The Prophet Moses (as) told them the truth. Allah tells us to follow the truth .

Capitola Missing Man Found Dead Tuesday Night
CAPITOLA, Calif. - Police told Central Coast News Wednesday that the missing Capitola man was found dead in his car off Highway 17, Tuesday evening.
24-year-old Kevin Rocha had been missing since Sunday night after he left his family's place in San Francisco. He had been driving a white Yukon Denali.
Rocha's SUV was found about 100 feet off the highway near Alma College Road, just west of Los Gatos.
The Santa Clara Sheriff's Department called the Capitola Police Department to inform officers of the death.
A family friend told Central Coast News that Rocha lived with a seizure disorder. He was born and raised in Lodi and was a Graduate of Lodi High School.
His cell phone reportedly pinged in the vicinity of the Old Santa Cruz Highway and Rundell Way, in Los Gatos. According to the family friend, Rocha didn't show up for work on Monday at his Bay Alarm Field Tech job and it had not been reported.
Police say they do not suspect any foul play.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I like to see CPDT - KA certification, at least. That's worth quite a bit to me since it's an extensive certification and requires a lot of hands on training work with dogs and their owners.
I would also like to see titles if possible, depending on what I'm taking the class FOR, and/or word of mouth reviews and see other dogs the trainer has trained.
|Certifications and performance awards are certainly to be respected but there is still no substitution for experience. I have noticed but never really zeroed in on certification even though we [client to trainer] have spoken about it along with experience. I always look for a trainer with a good pet side manor. As a client and sometimes trainer helper [over 45 years and many trainers] I feel a good trainer is one that offers proper instruction, advise, forms confidence in both dog and human and is firm without being judgmental. Being judge, jury and prosecutor toward someone seeking K9 advise is one way to kill a client wanting to have you for a trainer. I have seen trainers turn dogs around that were aggressive, fearful, nervous, timid or just to hard for the owner. It is remarkable and inspiring to witness this. It gives a client sound confidence in their trainer.
|N Smith
I do think certifications absolutely CAN show education - however, if all you need is to write an exam, or provide references IN MY OPINION, that certification would not hold weight as far as knowledge, for me. Maybe if it was paired with something else? I would still choose a good reputation and measurable results with various dogs over somone who had neither but was certified.
I apprenticed in a dog school that sees 450+ dogs a year, and trained everything from puppy to competition obedience, tracking, agility, rally-O and Tug work. I did that for 10 YEARS before I got certified. I also compete in IPO, Obedience, Rally-O and now Agility and started Herding. I also did rescue for 5 years and fostered, rehabbed and rehomed around 20 dogs in that time.
I was certified throught the FCI and Hungarian Kennel Club. I had to fly to Hungary and do a 14 day certification course, you must have been training for at least 7 years to participate. There are 4 levels of certification, I did the first. The next level you can only try for after 15 years training. We did 12 hour days, with morning being lectures and theory, afternoons we were on the field directing other trainers and students in various disciplines, we also had to "grade" the other trainers on their teaching abilities, and we were in turn graded. There was a written exam at the end, on the lecture material, as well as a practical Obedience and Protection exam. At the end, you had to compete in an IPO trial. The Master Trainer who did the course, said he was not juding how well the dog did, but how well the handler did handling the dog under pressure and through some high pressure scenarios. I put a BH on my young guy and an IPO 1 on my female with High in Tracking, Obedience and Protection and High in Trial.
So I now hold the Title of Certified Training Director, and my Level 'C' Helper Certification, which was required to be achieved as part of the Training Director certification. I taught classes well before I was certified, I think all of my experience was enough for most people to know that I could handle what they brought me. I did the certification because I could, and because I wanted to show that my experience and ability allowed me to earn that certification. But in the end 9 out of 10 people who come to me, do so because they heard from a friend/relative/complete stranger that I was the one to see if you wanted to get your dog trained/work out an issue.
|Honestly I feel like looking for a trainer is a bit like looking for a new employee. Yes, you want to see their "resume," their combination of education & experience with a "portfolio" of past dogs they've trained, but you also want to interview them. Sit in on a class if you're interested in classes. If it's individual training you're looking for maybe you can get the first session free or watch the trainer work someone else's dog. Once you see someone work a dog and actually talk to them, I feel like you get a much better sense of what kind of a trainer they are. Resumes and portfolios are really only important to narrow the field of people you're going to interview in my opinion
All are good points. Even though people disagree which is most important it seems both can be helpful. I guess in a perfect world you would find a trainer who has the education, experience, and success in competition.
I would definitely have more respect for someone whose certification required a 5 year apprenticeship as well as other significant investments. Shows me dedication and commitment to the trade. Working in a profession where i had to complete a 5 year apprenticeship and had/took the opportunity to obtain many certifications that i didnt necessarily have to get, but wanted, to further my education and worth as a professional I can see the merits in such a certification.
But as others have said the proof is in the pudding, someone who has had a good bit of success in competition with a variety of dogs and handlers obviously knows what they are doing.
I guess ill take both into serious consideration when choosing a trainer. And maybe try a few out to find the perfect fit. Thanks everybody for the insight im confident ill make a better decision now.

do you realize how easy things look on tv??
Currently I am taking my pup to a class from a CPDT. I didn't know her previously as she is an hour drive out of my town and seemingly new. The reason I did is to socialize him and have him work amidst distractions, while knowing that I won't do anything against my own ideas and keep quiet when I disagree out of respect for her as she knows that I am a trainer as well. The only thing the title CPDT meant anything to me is that she probably wouldn't advocate outdated techniques.
So she has the education to be able to put CPDT in her signature but: she never introduced herself or us as students, doesn't have her dogs around, doesn't not have contact with the class, doesn't take/have time to answer questions after class (by email or phone only), have us sit idle most of the time to listen to theory and instructions. I am sure for the newbies in training it goes over their heads as the information is correct but too overwhelming. Then she complements on progress that my pup didn't show at that time. People who are struggling are not getting the help nor does she catch it.
So even though she has the education to prove it, she is not a good teacher. She maybe successful with her own dogs but is not very effective in teaching her students how to do it.
Teachers are born not made.
What I would love in certifications is that the organizations have the trainers observed, classes audited, feedback from students etc. Maybe there are organizations who do this and it would be nice to hear about those.
It is easy to sign a code of conduct and not have to answer for it (APDT).
The best trainer here in town is not certified in any way and I am not talking about myself
I also find it telling that the vast majority of top tier trainers do not have degrees in Animal Behavior.
Im sure it would be an interesting program but in no way does taking it make you a trainer or "behaviorist".

The certifications show education, which is critical to any trainer. It is not just an art, but also a science. Learning theory - the quadrants, classical conditioning, extinction, shaping - have been studied and proven by science. I want a trainer who understands these concepts. A trainer who understands these concepts things like slicing, shaping, appropriate usage of rewards and punishers is going to be lightyears ahead of someone who just apprenticed under another trainer, so now they call themselves a trainer.
This is the same reason why idiot trainers are putting e-collars are anxious dogs and making the dog 20x worse because they don't understand a basic concept like classical conditioning.
I look forward to the day when there is a standard certification and ethical guidelines required for all trainers. It will be better for the dogs and better for the owners.
Training is being able to read a dog, understand what motivates it and what dissuades it. This coupled with a sense of timing and a healthy dose of common sense and your away to the races.
I guarentee you the majority of trainers at sport clubs in Europe (just an example) dont know the 4 quadrants or what constitutes positive punishmetn vs neg punishment. Yet those same clubs contain some the most skilled trainers in the world..certainly more skilled then 99.9% of pet trainers out there that know all that stuff..lol.
Your comment about the E Collar kind of proves my point. There are many that have no issue using a collar effectively on a fearful or soft dog and achieving great results and would not agree in the least with your perspective on their effect on the dog.
There is no all knowing body that can certify trainers and I would definitely not trust one that claimed it could.
Remember my ethics arent your ethics arent joe blow's ethics. What you deem to be the right way I may deem to be the wrong way. There is no proven superior method / dog training system.
Different methods work for different dogs and people, there is no ONE way or one body that knows it all.
i'll take an experienced trainer with no schooling over a nice looking resume any day. like with most things in life, you can learn it but you dont really get it until you get out there and physically do it yourself.
