Well---goose season opened up last weekend in the Ogallala region
How are the bird numbers looking ? Still locals only??
I know last year about this time the geese and ducks were just starting to move into the river area the Friday before deer season rifle opener. How is this year looking so far??
Planning on heading up around the 16th, just wondering if anything is moving. Really doesn't matter though, I am leaving work no matter what...

Athi-Galana-Sabaki River
- Sabaki redirects here. For the group of languages, see Sabaki languages; for the go term, see Go terms: Sabaki
Athi-Galana-Sabaki River is the second longest river in Kenya (after the Tana River). It has a total length of 390 km, and drains a basin area of 70,000 km². The river rises at 1° 42' S[citation needed]. as Athi River and enters the Indian Ocean as Galana River (also known as Sabaki River).
Athi River flows across the Kapote and Athi plains, through the Athi River town, takes a northeast direction and is met by the Nairobi River. Near Thika it forms the Fourteen Falls and turns south-south-east under the wooded slopes of the Yatta ridge, which shuts in its basin on the east. Apart from the numerous small feeders of the upper river, almost the only tributary is the Tsavo River, from the east side of Kilimanjaro, which enters in about 3° S. It turns east, and in its lower course, known as the Sabaki (or Galana), traverses the sterile quartz-land of the outer plateau. The valley is in parts low and flat, covered with forest and scrub, and containing small lakes and backwaters connected with the river in the rains. At this season the stream, which rises as much as 10 m in places, is deep and strong and of a turbid yellow colour; but navigation is interrupted by the Lugard falls, which is actually a series of rapids. Onwards it flows east and enters the Indian Ocean in 30 12' S[citation needed]., just 10km north of Malindi town.

The river flows through the Tsavo East National Park and attracts diverse wildlife, including hippopotamus and crocodiles. Famously, in the 2009 case of Ben Nyaumbe, the region is also home to pythons.

Mercedes In-Car QR Codes Could Save Drivers' Lives
Automotive brand adds info for first responders to side mirrors in the form of scannable codes.
Mercedes will begin to place QR codes onto all of their cars, which will provide all necessary information to rescue injured occupants from any model. This new QR code system will give firefighters, paramedics, and police the details they need to know to help passengers, including the location of airbags, gas tanks, and electric cables. These QR codes will be placed on the gas tank flap and another will be placed on the opposite side of the car.
This is an advancement because if a vehicle is significantly damaged, rescuers sometimes need to go as far as calling in the license plate number. This is extremely risky particularly in a context where every second matters.
The major point of concern here is that there is conflicting evidence as to how quickly people are adapting to the usage of QR codes, particularly because it is competing with other technological innovations like NFC. Mercedes' investment in QR is a sign of their commitment to the platform, but we will need to wait and see how effective this initiative is in terms of saving lives.

gnome-mount [-?|--help] [-v] [-n] [-t] [-b] [-d /dev/file | -h /org/fd/Hal/udi | -p nickname] [--unmount | --eject | --write-settings | --erase-settings | --show-settings] [--mount-point where-to-mount] [--mount-options opt1,opt2=foo,opt3] [--extra-mount-options opt4,opt5=bar] [--fstype fstype-to-use]
This program is used to mount and unmount file systems for GNOME desktop users. It can also be used to eject discs from CD drives and other devices that needs to be ejected. For example, iPod's needs this to make the "Do not disconnect" message go away.
Normally, this program is invoked by software in the GNOME stack (specifically gnome-vfs-daemon and gnome-volume-manager ). End users should never have to deal with gnome-mount directly on the command line, nor should they have to read this manual page.
Mounting a file system into the root file system involves a certain degree of configuration and as such is subject to whatever preferences an user might have. gnome-mount allows the user to control the mount point location, the mount options and what file system to use for mounting a file system. The settings are read from the gconf database (which is per-user) and can also be overridden on the command line using the appropriate parameters. See below.
The target (e.g. the partition or file system to mount, unmount or eject) can be specified using the HAL UDI (Unique Device Identifier), e.g. /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_E18B_10EC , the name of the special device file, e.g. /dev/sda1 or a pseudonym. The latter is a textual string used to locate the target and it makes gnome-mount search for the target by comparing the given textual string to the mount points and file system labels.
Settings (e.g. mount point, mount options, file system type) are read in the order below. Note that each option is treated individually; for example it is valid for a drive to only specify the mount point setting and not the mount options. Also note that the even if the drive specifies mount options, these can be overridden on a per-volume basis.
gnome-mount --extra-mount-options remount,exec -d /dev/sda1
to remount a volumes such that programs can be run from the media. This is useful for e.g. gnome-volume-manager if it discovers an autorun file on the media.
gnome-mount supports passworded media through the org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Crypto interface supported by HAL and this includes volumes formatted in a way that adheres to the LUKS (Linux Unified Key Setup) specification. In addition, gnome-mount uses gnome-keyring to retrieve and store the pass phrase. If no key can be retrieved, gnome-mount will prompt the user for one. In addition, if the keyring is locked, the user may be prompted to unlock it via standard gnome-keyring mechanisms.
gnome-mount is intended for unprivileged users and HAL ultimately controls if the calling user is allowed to mount, unmount or eject volumes as well as what mount options are valid. As such, requests may be denied. See the (human readable) exception returned from HAL for details if a request fails.
Note that HAL has a notion of what mount options are valid for a given volume. They are listed in the HAL property volume.mount.valid_options on the device object representing the volume to mount. Consult lshal(1) for details. Also note that HAL by default appends the options nosuid and nodev to prevent privilege escalation.
In addition to using HAL as the mechanism for mounting file systems, the /etc/fstab file is also consulted as HAL will refuse to mount any file system listed in this file as it would violate system policy. If this is the case, gnome-mount will invoke mount(1) as the calling user rather than invoking the Mount method on the org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume interface on the device object representing the volume / drive. This means that settings (mount point, mount options, file system type) read by gnome-mount are not passed along as these are already specified in the /etc/fstab file and there are no mechanism to override them. When parsing the /etc/fstab file, gnome-mount (and also HAL for that matter) resolves symbolic links and also respects the LABEL= and UUID= notations. For example, if this line is in /etc/fstab
LABEL=MyVolume /mnt/myvolume auto user,defaults 0 0
then gnome-mount mounts the file system with the label MyVolume via mount(1) and /etc/fstab rather than using the HAL mechanisms.
Options available for the gnome-mount command:
gnome-mount will return zero if the request succeeded or non-zero if it failed. Note that gnome-mount is specifically designed to run in a graphical user environment and as such all error reporting (and resolution) is through X11 dialogs. For example, if HAL reports that a volume could not be mounted because of a missing file system driver, gnome-mount might, one day, launch a tool to ask the user if he wants to download and install the driver. In a similar way, all error dialogs are presented via X11 dialogs to the user as well.
We want to make sure that the discs inserted into an optical drive are always mounted at /media/cdrecorder instead of using the default which is using the label specified in the iso9660 or udf file system header. Assuming that the drive is empty and the special device file for the drive is /dev/hdc the following command will work
gnome-mount --write-settings
--device /dev/hdc
--mount-point cdrecorder
This can be inspected via the --display-settings option and the settings can also be erased via the --erase-settings option. Also note that gconf-editor(1) can be used for tasks like these.
HAL polls most storage devices for media insertion / removal and maintains the list of devices exported. However, some hardware cannot be polled for media changes without making noise or for other reasons. PC floppy drives, Zip drives connected through an IDE interface and broken optical drives falls into this category.
For such hardware HAL only exports the drive and rather than exporting volume as childs of the drive, the org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume interface is exported on the drive itself. gnome-mount supports this but it means that it is impossible to know ahead of time what file system is on the media in the problematic drive, so in this case gnome-mount passes auto as the file system type and passes the mount options uid=UID_OF_USER as most media in such devices are formatted with either the vfat , udf or iso9660 file systems.
This also means that per-volume settings are not possible; one can only specify settings per-drive.
gnome-mount was written by David Zeuthen <email@example.com>.

Is cyberbullying against the law?
Gone are the days when bullying at school meant a shove in the hall or insult yelled across the classroom. Bullying has gone digital with devastating consequences in some cases, including suicide. The time has come for the nation to take a stand against cyberbullying. Education, awareness, and legislation are needed to combat this growing phenomenon affecting teens and their families.
School districts are dealing with bullying incidents through codes of conduct and direct action, including suspension and expulsion. They may also refer the incident to the police for possible criminal prosecution. The act of cyberbullying (bullying through the Internet or cell phone) may be a crime, even if there is no specific cyberbullying law. It is already illegal in your state to threaten someone with injury and to harass or stalk another person. If a cell phone or the Internet is involved with any of these acts, then the victim has been cyberbullied.
If you're under 18 and charged with a cyberbullying offense, you could be taken to juvenile detention. The court decides whether to release you pending trial and under what terms you'll be released. For example, you may be restricted from using the Internet until the case is concluded or placed on house arrest. Most likely you'll be restricted from any contact with the victim.
If you're found guilty of the offense, the court can place you on probation with specific terms including community service hours, counseling, and a period of time in jail or detention. You could also be eligible for a diversion program, which if completed, may let you avoid a permanent record.
It's important to understand that even if you plead not guilty to the charge and are ultimately determined to be innocent, you could still be locked up for a period of time. Even a brief period in jail or detention may affect future ambitions including job applications, college admission and scholarship opportunities, or military enlistment. Consider the following cyberbullying cases where teens and young adults spent time incarcerated.
- In August of 2009, 18-year-old Keeley Houghton was sentenced for the online harassment of another teenager in England. Keeley was ordered to spend three months at a juvenile facility and have no contact with the victim for five years.
- Hillary Transue was 15 when she criticized her principal online and was found guilty of harassment in 2007. She was sent to a juvenile wilderness program for three months.
- In Utah, 16-year-old Ian Lake was arrested for creating a website at home that poked fun at his principal and two teachers. He spent seven days in detention, but eventually won his case after three years in court.
Bottom Line: Think B4 U Click – unintended consequences may be life-changing.
Is jail time too harsh a punishment for cyberbullies? Share what you think!
Check out Judge Tom's book Teen Cyberbullying Investigated for more information about the legal consequences of cyberbullying and real cases about teens who found themselves in trouble.
This post was originally written for Netsmartz.org, a program of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. It was published on October 13, 2009.

However, I have a full sized helmet with around 10 signatures on it right now and would like to get it as filled up as possible with some new team members and players that never got to sign it last season. I am willing to ship my helmet to someone who will be there for a few days or so and would be gracious enough and trustworthy enough to get it signed some more and send it back. I could pay for the shipping and throw in some cash for your troubles if necessary. This is probably a terrible idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

|First time in the park. Did the four peak look: Eagle Peak, Mt. Diablo, North Peak, Mount Olympia.
I was impressed with how well signed the park was. As long as you have a trail map, it would be hard to get lost.
It was ridiculously hot. I drank 3 liters of water on the way to Mt. Diablo. I drank more there, refilled my water bottles, and finished another 3 liters on the way down. My keychain thermometer said 115 degrees F at one point. I don't trust the thermometer, but I'm pretty sure it was at least above 100. I had salt crystals all over my skin when I finally dried off. I could have filled a salt shaker.

Less than one-quarter of federal workers surveyed telework exclusively or regulary
Private-sector information technology employees were almost three times as likely as their counterparts in the government sector to telework exclusively or on a regular basis, according to a report released today by media and marketing firm FedScoop.
Only 23 percent of federal workers surveyed reported telecommuting exclusively or regularly, as opposed to 64 percent of those respondents in the private sector, according to FedScoop. The report also revealed that 27 percent of federal IT employees who responded to the survey said they weren't allowed to telework, compared to 3 percent of industry-employee respondents.

FedScoop polled 110 federal and 67 industry IT workers about their thoughts on telework using both online and paper questionnaires. FedScoop reported that 93 percent of all managers surveyed were satisfied with work done remotely. The report added that 93 percent of federal government sector employees said the opportunity to telework would make working for an organization more desirable; 95 percent of the feds surveyed have a generally favorable opinion of telework.
FedScoop said the results showed that agencies aren't "capitalizing on telework opportunities to the same extent as private sector organizations, and perceived organizational values may be affected."
The report was underwritten by Intel Corp. and Cisco Systems.

64% of private sector workers work from home? Really? Are you acutally claiming that 64% of the private sector work from home? On which planet? This is just more government math. I guess if you figure in the at home moms, kids off for summer vacation and the unemployed, this figure may come close, but otherwise, it is just another $800 toilet seat the tax payer is being asked to pay for. I challenge anyone claiming this 64% figure to explain how they came up with this number. The tax payers pay you to be at work, not on the golf course with a cell phone in case something comes up. Federal workers are not treated as badly or unfairly as they like to claim. If it is so much better in the private sector, then leave your government job and come on out here to the private sector. Then, you too can wait everyday for the pink slip to arrive because a contract was lost or cancelled. Most govies have no concept of real work. Put me in charge and 64% of them will be working from home; working on finding a new job.
Having teleworked for over 20 years, I get a letter from my agency telling me I have been terminated from working at home because 'my being "enrolled" in the telework program did not benefit the agency or it's mission. I find that reason to be absolutely ridiculous seeing as how my performance has always been exemplery and fully successful. Also, it shocks me that this agency can plagarize an OPM directive the way it did in my termination letter. I mean the least the agency could have done is worded my letter differently than the opm directive was written for termination. I was able to do more work and finish projects that had priority deadlines at home more so than at the office. Also, I was told the money spent on my cubicle is another reason I had to come in. Well, give me a corner or not, I don't need a whole cubicle, we have enough wasted room here, that I could use any of those areas. As for staying in communication with my supervisors and all other coworkers, I would either call them on the phone or there was always email. There was always an open communication line of one sort or another.

Maya Angelou, who died today at the age of 86, was a writer, a leader, a courageous social activist, a usurper of cultural norms, and a challenger of prejudice; but, above all, she was a poet, famously in love with words.
Born in St. Louis, Maya Angelou grew up with segregation, and her writing captured the malaise of the Jim Crow south. She was raped as a child and spent much of her adolescence in a state of discomforting quietude. Her mother, Vivian Baxter, was volatile and beautiful, and Angelou's 2013 book Mom & Me & Mom depicted their wavering relationship.
In the 1950s, Angelou traveled to Europe to dance in the production Porgy and Bess in an all black ensemble. She was a calypso singer and a dancer — a natural performer. Her writing would be deeply influenced by these experiences, and by the nearly-tangible feeling of conversation and speech.
Angelou's classic book, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, simultaneously sought to elucidate the way modern culture's shrouded racism with ignorance, as well as the conventions of the autobiography genre. The book is often cited as an autobiography, a bildungsroman (like Richard Wright's Native Son), a proto-memoir, and a roman a clef. (Genre wasn't nearly as important in 1969 as it is now; there was no "creative nonfiction" or "memoir" or "lyrical essay," and postmodernism was, and still is, a slippery term better left to sharper minds.) Using the same kind of literary techniques that would earned Frank McCourt a Pulitzer thirty years later, Angelou rendered her story as literature, as poetry, though not fictitiously. She used her articulate grasp of language to turn memories into art. Hilton Als eloquently said Angelou was a "pioneer of self-exposure."
For now, suffice it to say that book is undeniably autobiographical and undeniably great.

Game Summary | Postgame Notes & Quotes | Award Winners | Photo Gallery
Site: College Park, Md. (Eppley Recreation Center Natatorium)
Event: CWPA Eastern Championship (Finals)
Score: #7 Michigan 7, #14 Indiana 5
Records: U-M (32-6), Indiana (21-11)
Next U-M Event: Fri-Sun, May 14-16 -- at NCAA Championship (San Diego, Calif.)
COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- For the third consecutive season, the No. 7-ranked University of Michigan water polo team claimed the CWPA Eastern Championship title, defeating No. 14 Indiana, 7-5, on Sunday (May 2) inside Maryland's Eppley Recreation Center Natatorium. The Wolverines' fifth Eastern title gives them an automatic bid to the NCAA Championship (Fri-Sun., May 14-16) in San Diego, Calif.
Freshman Alex Adamson (Coronado, Calif./Coronado) made eight saves in the cage to lead the Wolverines. Junior Alison Mantel (Miami, Fla./Gulliver) tallied a goal and had three helpers, while junior Lauren Orth (Poway, Calif./Poway) dented the twine twice.
After IU took a short-lived lead early in the second period, Michigan unloaded four unanswered goals to take a 5-2 lead into the break. Senior Leah Robertson (Newport Beach, Calif./Newport Harbor) sparked the rally with a steal high in the defensive zone. After drawing an ejection, she passed back to Mantel and took off for the goal where she easily deposited the breakaway marker. Junior Ryley Plunkett (Modesto, Calif./Johansen) scored a minute later, taking a pass from freshman Kiki Golden (Danville, Calif./Monte Vista) on the left post. Orth then expanded the lead to 4-2 on a five-meter penalty shot. Plunkett and junior Cara Reitz (Miami, Fla./Gulliver) shut things down for the remainder of the period, combining for four steals on IU's final four trips of the half. Mantel roofed a shot just before the break to send the Wolverines to the break with a three-goal lead in tow.
Michigan's lead shrunk to one at 5-4 after IU scored an early goal in the third period and narrowly got a long shot in at the buzzer. However, the Wolverine defense buckled down in the fourth, getting a field block from Plunkett and a save from Adamson to maintain the one-goal margin. Golden gave the Wolverines some insurance, scoring a no-look backhander at two meters on a pass from Orth midway through the final frame. Indiana forced U-M to use that insurance, scoring with 1:50 remaining, but a laser from Orth at five meters sealed the game for the Wolverines.
The teams exchanged 6-on-5 opportunities throughout the opening frame and Michigan proved to be the first to take advantage. A little more than two minutes into the opening frame, Mantel found sophomore Meagan Cobb (Hudsonville, Mich./Hudsonville) on the left post where the Wolverine sophomore hesitated before rifling a shot into the cage. IU got the equalizer on the power play two minutes later, taking advantage of the confusion when Adamson was whistled, leaving U-M's cage untended.
The Wolverines' first-round opponent will be announced on the 2010 NCAA Championship selection show, which will be broadcast on broadband via NCAA.com. The show is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Monday (May 3) and will determine seeding for the NCAA Championship, which will take place May 14-16 in San Diego, Calif.
|By Period
|No. 1 Michigan
|No. 3 Indiana
U-M Goals: Lauren Orth 2, Meagan Cobb, Leah Robertson, Ryley Plunkett, Alison Mantel, Kiki Golden.
IU Goals: Nicole Redder 2, Jakie Kohli 2, Kara Butlet.
Saves: U-M 8 (Alex Adamson), IU 6 (Cassie Wyckoff)
Previous Results: Semifinal | Quarterfinal
The Wolverines clinched their fifth CWPA Eastern Championship crown and the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Championship. U-M also claimed the 2002, 2005, 2008 and 2009 titles.
Michigan improved to 5-2 in Eastern Championship title games. Two of U-M's championship wins have come against Indiana.
The Wolverines became the first program to successfully complete a CWPA conference three-peat in the modern era.
Michigan improved to 29-6-1 all-time and 4-1 at the CWPA Eastern Championship against Indiana.
Senior Leah Robertson became the third Wolverine named Eastern Championship MVP in program history. She joins Betsey Armstrong (2005) and Julie Hyrne (2008) as the only players to capture the honor for the Maize and Blue. She joins Hyrne as the only U-M players to take home both the division MVP award and postseason MVP award in the same season.
Robertson became the first Wolverine to earn three CWPA Eastern Championship All-Tournament first team selections. Robertson was also a first team honoree in 2008 and 2009.
Freshman Alex Adamson becomes the third Wolverine rookie netminder to lead U-M to an Eastern crown.
Robertson (31 points; 17g, 14a) took over the program lead for points by a Wolverine at the CWPA Eastern Championship, passing Sheetal Narsai (30 points, 2002-05).
Alison Mantel collected her 45th, 46th and 47th assists of the season, breaking a tie with Erin Brown (44, 2005) for second on the U-M single-season list. She needs three more helpers to match Jo Antonsen's (49, 2005) program record.
Kiki Golden became the first-ever winner of the CWPA Eastern Championship Rookie of the Tournament.
Former Wolverines Vickie Brown (2002-05) and Shana Welch (2004-07) were in attendance for today's game.
Michigan Head Coach Matt Anderson
On the win ... "We knew that it was going to be a typical Michigan-Indiana game. We knew it was going to be close and we just had to do what we have done all year against them, which was get the lead and let the defense dictate things. We were very fortunate. We had a very nice second period to go up 5-2 at the half and then we were able to control the game. Coming in to Easterns, I thought the two teams that could knock us off were Princeton and Indiana -- if anybody was going to be able to. We had to go through both of them to win. This is very satisfying. Even though we have had a very strong season, it was a very tough half to win Easterns. It is very gratifying."
On how this win differed from 2008 and 2009 ... "To do three in a row is harder than to win it the first time or the second time -- trying to keep the focus, the energy and the pressure all season long. After last year, losing seven of our top 16 and losing roughly four starters, people didn't expect this to happen. But we felt as a program that we could do it. That mentality made it a much more workmanlike. It made it very satisfying for the team to complete the three-peat."

last night i got out of a late movie around 11:00, so on my way home i pull into a two-lane turning lane. In front of me is a debadged, modded crx, to the left of me is a lifted f-150 with a loud exhaust, and behind me is a heavily modded late model integra. When the light turns, the truck is immediately dusted by all 3 of us (dont know why he even tried). RIght after the truck is outa the way, i move into the trucks lane and pass up the crx w/o leaving 2nd. During all of this, the integra is keeping up as best as he can with me and doesn't actually fall too far behind (i only got up to about 80 before i let off). So a few lights up the same integra pulls up next to me and its some big hispanic guy w/one of his friends riding up front. When the light turns, we both gun it and i get about 1.5 cars on him before 70mph, about the same time the 4 lane turns into a 2 lane conveniently enough. The guy pulled up next to me again his next chance and he started talking to me and asking me if my car was a turbo or not . Anyway, the dude turned out to be pretty cool and his car was modded, although not as much as i had guessed (catback exhaust, cai, shortthrow shifter).
After racing the integra from a dig my car started doing something wierd. Really hot air started coming out of my vents. I checked my ac/heater, but the heat wasn't even on, and it was really cold outside. I turned on the ac and tried to cool the air, but i could only minimally cool the air. Anybody know what was happening?

Where have you been? Any pics of the camera Roundel?
I didn't like the rear camera either but haven't looked for a replacement yet.
Not that far into it yet. Was going to go with a round one in the bumper like the one EAS sells.
Doubt that the one your using will work in the Z4 6 series rear Roundel.

"M" (oldest) wanted to move out right after graduation. Lucky for me he is only 17 so I told him I would not allow him to leave until he was 18…pretty tricky huh? He will be 18 in September and I don't know what he'll be doing then. Truth be told I'm afraid to ask him. So instead I've been preparing myself for the time (whenever) he'll be leaving home. Giving myself pep talks of how he'll be ok, I'll be ok, everything is ok.
"C" (14) will be a freshman and starting drivers training this fall. Just in time for us to do this high school thing all over again. I don't know if my emotional state can handle another kid out on that road alone. If you haven't experienced it yet, let me just tell you – your stomach will fall out of your butt each time your kid pulls out of the driveway.
Changes come and go whether we like them or not. Starting this blog is a way for me to cope with the empty nest that I DO NOT want to think about. I'm thinking if I can just focus my energy on other things I will find the woman I used to be before the husband and kids came along. She was ok. I kinda liked her. I just hope she's not too pissed at me for not being able to hang out for so long.
Married mother of two teen boys meet Mona. She's one kick ass chick.

I have a love hate relationship with the cell phone. I love when I can call my daughter anytime, I hate when she and her friends text when they are suppose to be talking to me (like in the car).
My daughter is 12 going on 13 and still needs me but..now it's to driver her, buy her things, etc. Oh she still needs me emotionally but it's hidden under a facade of a bad ass preteen. lol

Your first post is certainly better than mine!
Oh how I can relate too, especially to the driving. Our daughter will be 17 in two weeks and teaching her to drive was very nerve wracking. Especially when she got a speeding ticket and rear-ended someone else right after she got her license!
This year we'll have a Freshman and Senior. Who knows what the senior will do after she graduates. College appears to be rather undetermined at this point.

interior rust
i have a 73 impala custom i got rust every where u can think of. i got rust on top of rust n it doesnt make any sense(well it does cuz its been sitting up 4 almost thirty years!) i want 2 knw how can gett rid of it witout the use of a sandblaster or least stop it. i dont want my body 2 cum off the frame when the 635hp hit the street. any suggestions would b appreciated.
Don't even consider one of the rust hider, oops I mean "converters", because all that crap will do is slow down and HIDE the rust and it will not do a darn thing to help repair anything. If you have that much rust unfortunately there is no easy answer but dipping the body would probably be the best way. Sandblasting would be the next choice but then there would still be the seams to deal with which BTW those super duper rust concoctions can't get inside them either. Obviously you are concerned about structural integrity, as well you should be, and the ONLY way to make structural repairs is to cut out and replace the metal. Rust is serious damage, VERY SERIOUS damage, and too many people seem to think that you can just brush on some kind of rust killer and that will take care of it but that is not the case. Even if you can completely stop it, which is highly unlikely, the damage AND the rust will still be there so removing it by chemical or mechanical means and replacing weakened panels is the only real solution. I have heard people say that "If I sandblast all the rust off I won't have any body left", well rust does not add anything so if that is truly the case the sad fact is they have nothing to start with since removing the rust will only reveal how much metal is already gone, and it will still be just as gone whether the rust is removed or not! Sorry to be so blunt but "rust on top of rust" is a HUGE problem and trying to make it sound easier than it is going to be would not be doing you any favors. Can you get some pics up of this thing?
I am going to move this thread to General Rodding Tech. You will get better answers there.
No one lives forever, the trick is creating something that will.
I would suggest that if you REALLY plan to invest the money necessary to make 600+ HP, start by spending a few bucks on a rust-free shell to start with. 71-76 B-bodies really aren't THAT expensive. Alternatively, have it sandblasted and have new metal welded in if needed.
You didn't say where the rust was, or just how bad is it? Are there holes rusted thru? Is it just surface rust? .............
how did a car get that rusted in memphis ???

A teenage girl with flame-red hair is making her way home along the village bypass. Moments later her mother discovers her raiding the fridge. "The weirdest thing happened to me," says the girl. Her mother just stares. Camille was killed four years earlier, when a school bus plunged off a mountain road.
All over the village, similar scenes are taking place. The dead are returning to join the living. A young man knocks at the door of the woman he intended to marry; a small boy follows the local nurse home.
Channel 4's new TV series, The Returned, has all the ingredients to become the next edge-of-the-seat Euro-drama that has everyone talking. A French buy-in made by production company Haut et Court (which produced arthouse movies The Class, Coco Before Chanel and The Woman in the Fifth), it was a smash hit in France last year. C4 controller Jay Hunt is so excited by it she has rushed it into the spring schedules (start date and time slot not yet fixed). So far, only the first episode has been shown to journalists.
There are no big stars — even by French standards— although you may recognise Céline Sallette (who played Marion Cotillard's best friend in Rust and Bone) and Anne Consigny (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly). Nevertheless, and no doubt encouraged by the success of BBC4's The Killing, Borgen and Spiral, C4 is daring to air a subtitled series for the first time in two decades (Heimat was the last).
Set in a small Alpine village, and loosely based on the 2004 cult French film Les Revenants ("the ones who came back"), The Returned is a zombie story with a difference. Gorgeously shot, psychologically compelling, it imagines the emotional complexities of loved ones coming back from the dead. Writer-director Fabrice Gobert says he was inspired by books and films about grief, including Russell Banks's The Sweet Hereafter, Nanni Moretti's The Son's Room and Joseph Mankiewicz's The Ghost and Mrs Muir.
His "zombies" are more humans in limbo than flesh-eating fiends. Determined to reclaim their lives, they seem amazingly normal. What they don't realise is that they've been gone for years, and no one is expecting them back. Their siblings and partners have moved on; or, consumed by guilt, drowned their feelings in alcohol or sexual excess.
"We certainly didn't want to make a zombie drama like The Walking Dead, which is a great TV show," Gobert says. "But we thought it would be interesting to imagine the return of dead people in a realistic way. My co-writer, Emmanuel Carrère, and I were always wondering what we would do if something like that happened to us. We tried to describe, as precisely as we could, what would be in the minds of characters who had to face such a dramatic situation. Are they dead or not?"
By contrast with their families, the "returners" have not aged at all. There is a creeping sense, however, that their behaviour has been programmed. Do they have a sinister mission? Tension is ramped up with a series of murders that bear a chilling resemblance to those of a serial killer from the past.
Like Homeland and The Killing, The Returned takes a grip with its constant reversals and cliff-hangers. What it adds to the formula is a mythic quality. "We are not laughing at the conventions of the supernatural genre," says Haut et Court producer Caroline Benjo. "We really need the viewer to suspend disbelief but it's very stylised. Fabrice has found a way to frame and light locations so it seems another world."
The director's visual references include David Lynch's Twin Peaks, Bret Easton Ellis's Lunar Park and American photographer Gregory Crewdson, the master of small-town American surrealism.
The drama also owes a debt to Lost, of course, with its backstory of the victims of a plane crash, but instead of a desert island, this is a real-life location. The Returned was filmed in the lakeside town of Annecy in the French Alps (coincidentally, the spot where, long after the film crew had moved on, the British Iraqi and his family were mysteriously gunned down last year).
"We did not build any setting," says Gobert. "This unity gives an authentic atmosphere. When I wrote the script, I imagined that the town was a real character. I wanted it to be surrounded by mountains, lost in a valley and threatened by an impressive dam— just like the characters of the drama, who feel in danger, oppressed and alone."
The tense hardcore soundtrack — provided by the unlikely Scottish band Mogwai, who also composed the music for fellow Scot Douglas Gordon's film about French footballing hero Zinedine Zidane — adds to the atmosphere, chosen, says Gobert, for "the strength, the gravity, the melancholy that spreads from their music".
To cast the children in the series, they auditioned 200 children living in the Rhône-Alpes area. Gobert wanted non-professionals. It worked. After the series first aired, Benjo tells me that when one of the actors, Swann Nambotin, who plays an enigmatic boy called Victor, was visiting Lyon, people in the street ran from him in fear.
Haut et Court was the producer of the original 2004 film Les Revenants, directed by Robin Campillo, which became a modest cult hit. But Benjo realised that the storyline had potential as a TV series.
"Every time we talked to people about the dead coming back, and asked if they would welcome a knock at the door, they admitted, 'I might be very happy, but on the other hand I don't know if I could welcome this person back into my life'. That was startling. We began to think, how can you connect the intimacy of subject matter like that with a mystery?"
When she saw Gobert's first film, Simon Werner A Disparu (Lights Out), a teen thriller about vanishing students, in the Un Certain Regard section of the 2010 Cannes Film Festival, Benjo knew she'd found her man.
It didn't take long to persuade Gobert. "What I liked very much in Robin Campillo's movie was the way it mixed the fantastical and the hyperreal. But I wanted to deal with that idea in a more intimate way, to feel very close to the characters."
The Returned was the highest rating programme ever on Canal+ (the French equivalent of HBO) and has sold to more than 50 countries. Gobert is halfway through series two. Paul Abbott is now writing an English version — he read Gobert's script before the French even started filming and bought the rights.
It's a universal story, of course. The motif of "lost children" runs throughout fiction, from The Pied Piper of Hamelin to Picnic at Hanging Rock. What The Returned does is bring them back — as a device to uncover long-buried family secrets.
"They provoke something powerful in the living and things come back to the surface," says Benjo. "The thing about grief," she adds, "is that life always takes over. It's sort of obscene how that happens, but people do find a way to get their life back together."

The European Union has recommended its 27 member states "prevent" all financial transactions that support Israel's settlement activities in the occupied West Bank, an internal report on Jerusalem found on Wednesday.
In its Jerusalem Report 2012, the European Union suggested member states "prevent, discourage and raise awareness about problematic implications of financial transactions, including foreign direct investments, from within the EU in support of settlement activities, infrastructure and services."
In a strongly-worded 15-page report, the EU also calls to "ensure that imports of settlement products do not benefit from preferential tariffs" and make sure that all such products are clearly labeled as originating from Israeli-occupied areas.
Authored by EU heads of mission in Jerusalem and Ramallah, the report makes nine recommendations on settlements, six of which are related to financial translations linked to or supporting Israel's ongoing construction on occupied Palestinian land.
It also warns that EU programs should not be "used to support settlements and settlement-related activity, including funding for research, education or technological cooperation."
And it proposes member states raise awareness about "the financial and legal risks involved in purchasing property or providing services in settlements."
Another recommendation which applies particularly to the city's annexed eastern sector, suggests member states "develop and promote voluntary guidelines for EU tour operators to prevent support for settlement businesses in east Jerusalem."
Relations between Israel and the EU have been particularly tense in recent months, with Europe voicing increasingly vocal discontent over a raft of Israeli plans to build more than 5,000 new settler homes in and around east Jerusalem.
Israel has long feared that the 27-member bloc, its largest import and export market, could move to implement a series of punitive trade sanctions against the Jewish state over its ongoing settlement activities.

We ship orders using USPS. Shipping times for our kratom products varies based on your location, weather, time of year (holidays), etc. We cannot guarantee any delivery times! Once USPS picks the packages up from our location, it is totally up to them as to how fast your package arrives. USPS has a good record and 90% of orders are delivered within the estimated shipping times, but some instances occur that are out of their control or sometimes they do make mistakes, this is just the way it is and we cannot help that from our end. We will always get your order shipped out as fast as we can, but delivery times are completely up to the post office. Most kratom orders are usually shipped within 1-2 days of receipt of payment (this means order has been paid for, not just submitted). However, in rare cases, it can take longer.

Karastan loans World's Fair rug to Chicago Macy's
October 19, 2010,
Dalton, Ga. - Seventy-seven years since Karastan presented its multi-colored panel Kirman 791 at the Chicago World's Fair, the company is bringing the rug back to Chicago at Macy's on State Street.
Earlier this month, attendees from the original World's Fair celebrated the grand reopening of the Macy's Fine Rug Gallery in Chicago with a special ribbon-cutting event that had as its centerpiece the Kirman 791 Karastan rug.
It was in 1932 that Karastan first introduced its multicolor panel Kirman 791. The company said the rug's "tree of life" pattern "symbolizes divine power and perpetual life in Persian design." It was part of the Karastan Rug Collection and was labeled "The Wonder Rug of America."
The collection comprises power-loomed rugs made of worsted New Zealand wool, woven "through the back" and luster washed to simulate the hand-knotted look of the originals.
To prove the lasting quality of its rugs, Karastan wear-tested its multicolor panel Kirman 791 at the 1933-34 Chicago World's Fair. The rug was then taken to the Karastan mill in Eden, N.C., where only half of the rug was washed. "One side remained almost unrecognizable, while the washed portion returned the rug to its original beauty of 33 skein-dyed colors," Karastan noted.
The original rug has been stored at that mill until earlier this month when it was put on exhibit at the revamped Chicago Macy's store.

Need book ideas....
Looking to start reading chapter books to my two older daughters. They are 3 and 4 but definitely ready for something besides preschooler story books.
I'd like to have some ideas for books or book series that might be a good fit for us. I was going to start with Little House on the Prairie books.
Keep in mind that these girls are 3 and 4! We dont want anything that has what we view as inappropriate themes.....love interests, scary or dark themes, magic outside of just a general fairy tale type magic, characters with mean actions towards others or rough language, etc.
Re: Need book ideas....
Little House on the Prairie is what I would recommend. Some of the American Girl books (but I really think thats more for 7yrs+). Judy Blume my niece started at 5, Magic Tree House? Romano Quimby series.
Re: Need book ideas....
I ran across some classics in a 97c bin at Walmart a while back that have been slightly condensed and illustrated with a full page picture every 2 or 3 pages. We got Peter Pan, The Secret Garden, and Dr Doolittle. I started reading Peter Pan to DD right before her 4th birthday and she was really loving it, but then we lost it. This reminds me to go hunting for it under some beds... With school starting back I really need to get back to reading to her every day.
Re: Need book ideas....
Junie B Jones is a good series, especially for girls, and is written from the prospective of a 6 year old girl.
Heidi? I haven't read it in a long time but I remember my mom reading or to me when I was pretty young.
Re: Need book ideas....
how about Charlotte's Web? Then you can watch the movie as a "treat" after you finish the book. My Kindergarten students always love that. They'll even pick up differences and say "hey! that's not how it goes!" etc
Have you read them any Beatrix Potter? I know Peter Rabbit comes to mind (which is also a good story) but many of her books are a bit complicated and have interesting themes. Mr. Tod, for instance, is quite long and involves trickery and just a bit of nastiness. I see some of her longer books as a halfway point between picture and chapter books. My almost four year old is always up for one of the Potter books.
Re: Need book ideas....
A Little Princess is the only one on my on my list to read to dd when she's old enough that hasn't been mentioned :) ok, ok, i know, she's only 2 months right now. i like reading.... :) Little House on the Prairie is on my list too. Those were some of my favorites as a kid!
Re: Need book ideas....
What about:
Frog and Toad
Amelia Bedelia
Flat Stanley
Little Bear
Little House on the Prairie has a "little" version for younger readers

Nov 7, 2013 - By Kelli Ameling, Staff WriterThe new K-12 school will cost roughly $54.3 million, with $52.7 million coming from the Wyoming School Facilities Department and $1.6 million from District 21 for enhancements.
The Fremont County School District 21 Board of Trustees is making headway on its designs for the district's new school.
Superintendent Terry Ebert said the design for the new Fort Washakie school began in August, and construction is planned to begin in the fall of 2014.
The new K-12 school will cost roughly $54.3 million. Ebert said $52.7 million would come from the Wyoming School Facilities Department, while $1.6 million would come from District 21 for enhancements.
Ken Mahood, of Ward and Blake Architects, and George Kacan and Gregg Monberg, both of Fanning Howey Designers, met with the board for more than two hours during a recent work session to help make decisions on the school's layout and classroom designs.
Teachers as learners
Monberg said that today's designs have to accommodate changing teaching styles. He said teachers are no longer just teaching but are becoming learners in the classroom as well.
"(We're) designing rooms (that) embrace all of the learning pyramid," Monberg said.
The design included an arched walkway connecting the high school and elementary, a new gym that would include three courts and seat 1,500 people, and a new, two-story high school built on the south side of the school's property.
The board of trustees said they wanted to make sure some details were different.
Chairwoman Kay Ferris said she wanted to make sure the high school has its own identity, and she didn't think the high school students should have access to the rest of the building.
"I don't like it joining all together," she said. "If we have just one silly student, we don't want them gaining access to the whole school. I am thinking
Monberg said there would be security points in place, including locked doors to prevent students from traveling from one school to the other.
High school
To address the high school having its own identity, trustee Clinton Wagon suggested moving the high school to the back of the property on the north side of the school, which would give the illusion of the school being separated.
Ferris and board treasurer Karen King agreed with Wagon, but board vice chairman David Snyder said he liked how the plan was presented.
"I personally like it up front," Snyder said, noting that by keeping the high school in the front, it would protect green space in the back of the building.
Because the majority liked the idea of having the high school behind the building, a design reflecting that change will be brought to the next meeting.
The board also reviewed classroom layouts to see which ones would best fit the new design.
"We are in the very preliminary stages (of planning)," Kacan said, noting that the designers are taking the sections one at a time so changes can be made. "We are just trying to get a handle on things."

gas (propane) cooktop off a BBQ tank
for several years our country house was heated with propane.
During that time we rented 2 huge propane tanks from the local supplier.
We recently removed the gas heating and so the only propane use that remains is a gas cooktop (converted to propane supply).
Since we only use the place for about 10 days a month, the propane use has gone from significant to tiny.
The propane supplier removed their rental tanks (saying we weren't using enough propane for it to make sense - they are correct.)
we now need an alternate propane supply.
given how little we use (maybe boiling a pot of water each day) I would like to just use a regular refillable BBQ propane tank.
I've rigged one up with appropriate adaptors. but it is about...100feet from the actual propane cook top.
on my first test, the burners lit - reluctantly it seems. turning everything off and trying again, it doesn't light at all. (it was working perfectly before the large tanks were removed.)
I can smell and hear the propane but it doesn't light - either with the clicker or a match.
Is there any reason this should NOT work?
different pressure?
too long a distance?

It's not often we at Crystal Ball Run would make much of a fuss about a major college football program offering a scholarship to a soon to be high school sophomore. It happens every day, in every conference in college football. Nothing to see here, right? Not so fast my friends. We must remember that the devil is in the details, and the details of this scholarship-to-a-sophomore story are where things gets interesting. The school who offered the scholarship was UCLA, a program trying to make a name for itself on the Southern California recruiting scene. More importantly, the player is a wide receiver named Cordell Broadus, according to a report from ESPNLA.com. Now if you're thinking to yourself, "Hmm, that name Broadus sounds awfully familiar," well, you'd actually be correct. Cordell is the son of one Curtis Broadus, better known in rap circles as Snoop Dogg. Yes, that Snoop Dogg. Read more...

1st Place in Derby #300: What makes me different, with 317 votes!
"Who killed my sister? Who killed the Witch of the East? Was it you??"
"Whoa whoa whoa. Hold on. What is happening?"
"You killed my sister, my pretty!"
"All right. Let's back up a second. First off…OK, I don't even know if there is a first off. But I've got a few questions."
"What about the ruby slippers?"
"Glinda, lady, I just met you and I like you so far, but let's take this one step at a time. Why is everybody dressed like an idiot?"
"Why, because this is Oz, my dear."
"What I'm going to need you to do is answer a question in such a way that it doesn't create several more questions. What kind of name is Glinda, anyway?"
"Well, it was 'Galinda', but then I had it changed in honor of Doctor Dillamond, who was a martyred goat…"
"I'm going to stop you at 'martyred goat,' because, again, I just need some basic answers. Am I in Kansas?"
"Well, I think that's all the neighboring states, so I'm going to call B.S. on you."
"What about Colorado?"
"Colorado doesn't border Kansas, wicked witch lady."
"Yes it does! I lived in La Junta after grad school. It's near the border."
"Huh. Well. This has been an odd writeup."

Brussels hits out at 'nutty NGOs' and corporate sharks
The European Commission has said EU freedom of information rules should be tightened up because corporate lawyers and NGOs abuse the system.
Its spokesman, Antony Gravili, told EUobserver on Wednesday (6 June) that most requests to see internal EU documents come from "lawyers for big corporations" and "nutty NGOs" instead of concerned EU citizens.

"Lawyers involved in big competition cases try to get commercially sensitive information through the back door ... If they got it, the victims would go straight to court to sue us for millions and they would win," he said.
"Nutty NGOs say things like: 'Please send us details of every email, every phonecall or note ever written at any level on this subject from 2001 to 2006' ... When a desk officer writes a paper, they want to see it after he's written the first sentence before going on his coffee break," he added.
"As soon as our response comes, it goes in the bin and they send their next request. They think its funny to waste officials' time."
The commission in 2008 put out draft new rules to replace a 2001 regulation on the subject.
It put out another draft in 2011 to extend existing rules to all EU institutions, such as the European Central Bank and EU agencies.
Both bills are being blocked by the EU parliament, which says they are a step backward on transparency, however.
"We have said over and over that every document, every single sentence that would have been released under the old regime would still be released under the new one ... We are just trying to bring extra clarity. The debate is infantile and some people need to grow up," Gravili said.
Diplomats from EU member states will on Friday debate a new Danish EU presidency proposal designed to end the stalemate.
A contact familiar with the Danes' latest draft said it has more relaxed wording on documents in competition cases, infringement procedures, appointment of senior officials and legal advice from EU institutions.
While the previous draft spoke of "block exemptions" for the papers, the new version says the documents "shall be presumed as being" out of bounds if the EU institutions can demonstrate it would cause harm to release them, shifting the burden of proof from applicants to officials.
A small minority - Estonia, Finland, the Netherlands and Sweden - are pushing for what they say is more transparency. But the majority of member states want to see tighter rules.
A Swedish contact noted: "We still don't like it [the new draft], but it's better." An Estonian source said: "We do agree that it is better. But we should keep in mind that the Lisbon Treaty clearly demands more transparency."
If member states endorse the new Danish draft on Friday, Denmark will resume talks with MEPs next week.
