With this in mind and coupled with the glorious uncertainty of the game we can expect the Kiwis to win within three days.......?
LOL!...well not really, but in Test Cricket anything is possible so lets look at this clash further.
New Zealand
Likely Team
The Kiwis have been forced to drop Jessie Ryder due to him falling off the wagon in regards to his discipline again, and lost incumbent keeper B.J.Watling. The loss of Ryder is a blow for the batting line up is already fragile with him in it and now looking paper thin in his absence.
Rob Nicol comes in to open the batting in this Test for his debut and he will certainly know the difficulty of Test Cricket facing Mssrs Steyn&Co with the new ball. Also the South African expat in Kruger van Wyk takes Watling's place behind the stumps.
So we wish both debutantes the best wishes with the Team as follows
Martin Guptill, Rob Nicol, Brendon McCullum, Ross Taylor (capt), Kane Williamson, Daniel Vettori, Kruger van Wyk (wk), Doug Bracewell, Tim Southee, Trent Boult, Chris Martin
The Key for New Zealand to Win
Against a South African bowling line up that is of supreme class the main key for the hosts will be how their batting stands up against it.
In this regard there is a huge doubt with the line up being devoid of real class and then further compromised by most having ODI temperaments. Which leads to some inexplicably soft dismissals.
To be a factor in this match, batsmen like McCullum, Taylor and Williamson who have shown signs of ability at Test level in the past need to be at the top of their games. Taylor in particular needs to lead from the front for he is blessed with such talent but just needs to make sure his head is right to be a real star in Test Cricket.
A bonus would be Martin Guptill transforming the force he is in the shorter forms of the game into real Cricket. If he can perform in this series it will be a huge fillip for the Team.
Dan Vettori being a pest with the bat would help a great deal too as well as the bowling all rounders in Bracewell and Southee contributing.
If the batting can stand up against the South African bowling fury then the Team has a good chance to give the tourists some issues.
This on the back of their very talented bowling unit that is backed up by one of the best fielding outfits in the game.
As we saw in Australia, Doug Bracewell has all the tools to be a top class fast bowler, and then do not discount Tim Southee's pedigree either. Rounding out a very decent attack is the big hearted and skilled Chris Martin and the precocious talents of the young left hander Trent Boult.
Vettori's very under rated and insightful left arm spin completes the attack beautifully.
If the Kiwi batting can perform then we could be in for a very tightly contested match...
South Africa
Likely Team
The South Africans have a relatively settled line up with the only point of contention being over how to fit all their high class pace men into their Team. Sadly a potential fast bowling buzz saw in Marchant De Lange might have to sit on the sidelines until a vacancy becomes available.
Leaving the Team as follows:
Graeme Smith (capt), Alviro Petersen, Hashim Amla, Jacques Kallis, AB de Villiers, Jacques Rudolph, Mark Boucher (wk), Vernon Philander, Dale Steyn, Morne Morkel, Imran Tahir
The Key for South Africa to Win
Whatever way you look at it the South African's have it over New Zealand in a huge manner in regards to all round talent.
Duly if they perform anywhere near their optimum they should win this Test easily and indeed the series.
The oil in the ointment has been the last two South African series against Australia and Sri Lanka where they were destroying the opposition, but then inexplicably let both Teams into the series through mental lapses.
Costing them a series draw against Australia and a rather embarrassing loss against Sri Lanka that has never happened before on home soil.
South African fans will pass this off as the Team being rusty, but it still made you raise your eyebrows a bit on witnessing it.
Away from the mental aspect, most eyes will be on the less established players in the line up in Alviro Petersen, Jacques Rudolph and Imran Tahir.
All who have shown talent in Test Cricket but struggled with the demands of consistency.
If any or all can establish themselves in this series, it will give the support needed to the established greats in the line up, and go a long way to firmly establishing South Africa as the best Team in Test Cricket.
I think South Africa will win behind their pace men destroying the Kiwi batting

USD Researchers Seek Companies for FED-Funded Study on Relationship between Employee Ownership Practices and Firm Evolution
Researchers at the University of San Diego (USD) are seeking to interview companies with at least 50 employees about their employee-ownership practices. Their study, funded in part by the Foundation for Enterprise Development (FED), examines how a firm's ownership practices change over time and how these practices shape a firm's evolution, in particular its growth and capitalization strategies. While employee ownership has been viewed as a means of fostering employee motivation and loyalty to a firm, few studies have examined how it may specifically influence a firm's capitalization options and the extent and direction of its growth.
The research team is interviewing one top manager from each firm participating in the study. The respondent must have an excellent understanding of the firm's history and future plans as it relates to ownership practices, financing and growth. The interview is approximately 45-60 minutes. Transcripts of each interview are compared across respondents and firms in the study to determine whether there are common characteristics or patterns in ownership practices and their influence on firm capitalization and growth strategies. These comparisons are done in a manner that protects the identity of each firm and individual respondent.
Firms participating in this study will be contributing to a better understanding of how ownership practices change over time and influence a firm's growth, capitalization and structure. These findings could be of great interest to firms seeking to grow while maintaining a highly productive and motivated workforce. All firms in the study will receive an advance summary of findings upon its completion. For additional information on the study and how to participate please contact Professor Shreesh Deshpande at email@example.com or 619-260-4863.

In-Floor Swimming Pool Cleaning System
I have a CareTaker In-Floor Pool Cleaning system. It has 5 zones and I am having troubled with one of them.
When the pool was designed, the pool company drew up the plan and sent it to the CareTaker people, who then designed the cleaning system. The zone that covers the steps was set up for 5 cleaning heads.
Between that time and the time the pool was built, I told the pool company to make the pool 1 foot deeper at both ends. They redesigned the pool to have additional depth and an additional step, but did not send the plan to the CareTaker people to make appropriate adjustments. Instead, they just added 2 more cleaning heads to that zone. The net effect is I do not seem to have enough pressure on that zone for the heads to pop up fully.
I did not fully realize this issue until 10 years after the pool was built, but now that I have retired, I see it. And, the pool company has long ago gone out of business. In any case, I am sure any warranty has expired.
I have gotten several rebuild kits for the controller from the manufacturer, as well as new cleaning heads, but to no avail.
I have a 1.5 horse Hayward pump and a Hayward DE filter, appropriately matched as far as the Hayward people are concerned. The pressure at the filter is about 30psi. The pressure at the CareTaker controller is about 18psi for 4 zones and only 11psi at the troublesome zone. As I understand it, each zone should be running at a minimum of 15psi to work correctly.
I also have a solar heating system involved. All pipes are 2 inches, except those from the controller to the cleaning heads which are 1.5 or 1.75 inches.
The order of flow is pump to filter to chlorinator to solar heating system to CareTaker control.
No one in my immediate area services these cleaning systems, so I want to try to figure this out on my own before paying big bucks to have someone charge me travel time. In addition, no one I have talked to has any definitive suggestions, so any service call will be quite expensive because of extensive troubleshooting. One pool company even told me my knowledge of the system far exceeded their technician's knowledge!
I needs some plumbing answers to my questions:
1. What types of things will affect the amount of pressure at the cleaning heads? I have eliminated as many elbows as possible in the pipes that I can see. The pump and filter are brand new.
2. Would somehow closing down the openings in the popup heads increase the pressure on those heads? The openings are the smallest possible from the manufacturer, so maybe I could glue a reducer into the openings.
3. Is it possible to put some sort of "booster" between the solar heating system and the CareTaker control head to up the pressure?
Many thanks in advance for any help, especially if it happens to be someone with CareTaker knowledge!

"No 'hoopla' as Diane Sawyer takes over ABC World News" was a typical headline.
After the Obama hoopla, it is still possible that Moustafa will be cleared on appeal.
With all the hoopla swirling around out here, their attitude was refreshing.
That is the kind of human bridge-building these foreign trips with all the hoopla can produce.
It all looked very different two years ago when the first 787 was rolled out with a great deal of hoopla.
After the Obama hoopla, it is still possible that Moustafa will be cleared.
But this spring in Paris, the Mapplethorpe hoopla is taking an interesting turn.
And the biggest question of all: will these two lovers find that fairy-tale ending after all the hoopla dies down?
The Mail: Hubris, hoopla, and claims that were false, cynical and very, very dangerousObama was duped.
But the hoopla over it reflects some strange and antiquated thinking.
1877, hoop la, American English, earlier houp-la, exclamation accompanying quick movement (1870), of unknown origin, perhaps borrowed from French houp-là "upsy-daisy," also a cry to dogs, horses, etc.
[1877+; perhaps fr hoop-la!, the stagecoach driver's exhortation to his horses]

Too many wealthy people are getting their criminal defence costs paid by the public when they could easily afford to pay out of their own pockets.
This is because when wealthy suspects are charged, and their assets are restrained by the state, they are forbidden from using the money to pay for lawyers. Instead, they are granted legal aid and get everything free.
So the Government have got a real blind spot here because we have a situation where fabulously wealthy people are not being required to spend their own money on legal representation.
I am talking about people worth tens of millions of pounds getting money from the state to fund representation in criminal cases. It's completely wrong. The context makes this scandal even worse. Legal aid has been cut for people who have housing problems, it's been cut for people who have welfare problems, people right at the bottom of the pile.
So it sticks in the craw when ridiculously rich defendants, who could pay for their own representation a hundred times over, are showered with legal aid, while others with nothing are told the money has all gone. If the public thought that individuals worth millions were successfully claiming legal aid in criminal cases they would be outraged. Yet that's precisely what's happening.
We need a system where people who can afford it are required to pay for their defence out of their restrained funds. It's easy to pretend that when a defendant is convicted you can make him pay back his legal aid, but the process is complex and notoriously inefficient.
It's the experience of most people in criminal justice that too often these sums are not paid back by defendants when they are convicted. The state ends up spending even more trying to get repayment and the costs spiral. As usual, the taxpayer loses.
It would be much simpler to say that if a defendant has huge funds in restraint, he should dip into those to pay for lawyers. If he's acquitted he gets the money back, if he's convicted he doesn't. That's justice.
This simple reform would save the taxpayer huge sums and relieve pressure in other parts of the legal aid system, where there are people far more deserving of help. Fairness is supposed to be the motif for this Government. But it's not fair that very rich people are getting legal aid and very poor people aren't. The taxpayer shouldn't have to pay the defence lawyers for wealthy criminals.

Some Storks and Froggies
Decided to play
One night by the light of the moon
But the tail of their game
Was much too profane
And besides
It ended too soon
It's for your best
Storks would say
Please see things our way
Just trust us
And you will do well
But the rules they rewrote
And the frogs lost the vote
And with frog
Stork bellies did swell

If these walls could talk they would have said 'No!',
No!,to growth of green algae and mosses on their skin,
perforated with holes which allow water to flow,
Their colors fading and their beauties cannot be seen,
Their very foundation shaken with great intense,
The land they defend is no longer fertile,
Ideas and sovereignty they protect have become past-tense,
All their works become insignificant and futile,
Clay,sand and loamy quarrel;to divide the land they seek,
while soil flora and fauna fight with a bad motive,
Animals collide with these walls making them weak,
Cyclone,storms and floods ram unto them like locomotive,
With all these commotions,they would have cried not talked,
These walls regret for being together,they could have walked.
*These walls--past Heroes and Nationalists that fought for the independence of my country.
Now there are internal wrangling or fighting,commotion,dissatisfaction,tribalism,religious bigotry,killings and terrorism.The unity of the country is shaking...
*clay,sand and loamy soils--three major tribes in my country.

**********Note: This is Part II to the 'BIG GAME'**********
May the Lord Be with you!
Now the Devil was at First Base
Ready to take a steal
One of his minions' is on Third
Preparing to do the devious' deal
He planned to steal
While one of the Lord's Shepherds'
Was out playing the field
And their was one little truth
That wasn't heard
And that was that the Shephere
Got the word...
As the ball clasped and thundered
A ground ball that barely cleared
The ground...
It took every-body by surprise
Fore it never made a sound
And the multitudes' shuttered
As he took first base
I could barely believe my eyes'
The Devil is low you know
He stole second base
But, God kept the minions'
At bay... In their place...
And it has been that way to this
Very Day
The fear engulfed the multitudes'
This game was to last all day'
And it seem as though the
Devil would win....
That he should have his way....
With a little help from his
The Minion (BATTER^UP) was of
The Devils' own making
He was a bat... Lords' people
Were all shaking...
And you know what made
Thing's worse
He did make first and released
The Curse
And the Plague was in
World Domination was about'
To begin
******Surely to be continued*********
In the jungle of our collective heritage
In our wild teaming with endless species of flora and fauna
In the savannah, the tropics and the deserts of our kingdom
There is place for neither the honest nor the peace-loving
I am not adding to adages, I am talking reality
I am talking about the principle of virtue
And of the practicality of vice
I am talking about the cat family of our jungle life
That is celebrated for disrupting our conscientous existence
They are deemed meritorious because we are miserable
Because they are admired, our clamours go unheard
We are lowly, we are vulnerable, we are defenseless
We set our table with vegetation, but graze them with trembling
We respect their pathways but they don't respect ours
Under the lush delicacies of our livelihood, they ambush us
By the edge of our collectively-owned flows, they await us
They parade majestically and in showy antics, they stretch and growl
We see their prowess and bravery flaunted, and we cower into shades
They mock our meekness, even our gentleness, they deride
They mistake our peacefulness with cowardice
We are no cowards; we are only not favoured with their strength
We recognize our weakness the way they recognize their strength
And we bow loyally to their wishes and decline their contests
But our every decline provokes and challenges their ego
Our surrender and our protest are alike to them
Our existence is their headache, yet their means of livelihood we are
They will not stop until they have suppressed us into extinction
Unfortunately, when we are gone they shall be gone too
They shall comprehend the truth but very late
That though the cat rules, the jungle shall breathe without it
But without us, there is neither the jungle nor the cat

Anarchy is witnessed,
Strategy is called for,
Youthfulness is called upon,
Execution is on the roll.
Motivated by materialism,
The conscience is sold out
Indiscipline rules willfully, and
Fear is the air to breathe.
Scenes of violence all over
Generated by the "gods"
Yes, the "gods"and barbarians of the "science of power"
Leaving nothing but an eyesore
Venoms of influence are pryingly invited and spat out
Igniting a scene of social unrest, and
They sit in the comfort of their abode. Whilst,
Observation becomes the ally of their misdeed.
Horror is witnessed
Sorrow is the bitter taste.
Terrorism yet to be invited and
Saboteurs, oh yes, Political Saboteurs pry in their abode
Rationality conflated with conviction is consulted
Options are laid nakedly on the table
Complex is the choice to be made
Yet, a decision must be made.
Let them be combatant of their own combat.

The beaches of cruel oceans
in their happy moods
send cool sea breeze
that whispers friendly
messages of peace and comfort
to holiday-makers.
They spread their hands
in welcome to strangers
without discrimination.
The warm sea sand receives
the ribs of every visitor
with humility and honesty
as the sun smiles from above
wishing everyone happy times

You're prearranged with all those thoughts of dread, rearranged for a propaganda fret.
You are the few, you are the same, and you have been bought.
By all who knew just what to say and do, holding change like it's an enlighten noose.
Monkeys it's not the same without a thought
Morals distorted as it fills your glass. Pungent as you taste the last, drop of all
who've came and all who've gone. You watch them as they smile and book. The television
shows of smut. Behind the camera they still cook your bones.
Stay tuned till this intermission, behind the curtain of rendition. You'll find them with
the chain that holds your thoughts.
Now as you vote for change, you shed like a dog who whines to be fed.
Where's your politician with his cross.
He's holding all the change you gave. In a box prearranged, rearranged and saved. Just in
case his future comes to a halt.
So here's your fortress of solitude, hold it close as you choose. For a mirror imagine of
your thoughts. Hold it closer as you think our fractured structure on the brink.
It could depend on you to make them fall.

On a cold, wintry Christmas night
bright light on a manger shone
to fall softly upon a mother mild
cradling her little baby child.
Three wise men followed the stars
to thy beckoning door, Bethlehem,
bringing frankincense and myrrhs
to pay homage to the king.
Thy name is music to mankind's ears
proclaiming forth freedom and hope,
sweet like a chorus by heaven's choir
vanishing darkness and fear.
Yet, two thousand years thereafter,
what became of thee, Bethlehem?
now enclosed within high fences,
inside your captive people keeping.
On those cruel barriers are graffiti
imploring "Make love, not walls";
as I weep for thee, O Bethlehem,
where has thy promise gone?
Bethlehem is a Palestinian-populated city in the West Bank, administered by
the Palestinian Authority. It is now mostly inhabited by Arab Muslims and many
Arab Christians have left the city and immigrated abroad due to the harsh living
conditions. The city is surrounded by high concrete walls and no one gets in or
out without clearance from the Israeli Army guarding its checkpoint.

Adding equilizer to e46 non HK system
I have installed 6.5" 2 ohm subs in doors and rear deck. Installed new tweeters and mid ranges, all 4 ohm. Retained stock head unit and amplifier. Tapped rear speaker cables before amp with Loc and installed Memphis Audio 12" and MA amp thru center of ski pass opening. All run good and sound good. But I I want to add an EQ to smooth things out. I understand the stock amp handles crossovers and want to keep it that way. It suits my needs. How can I just add an eq to the system without changing my setup. Bass and treble on HU does not do enough. And I know the amp also has certain drop offs at certain Hz depending on which driver it is connected to. I just want to simply tweak the sound before amp, of after amp. I know before is better. I just want a freaking eq to tailor to my hearing. Please advise anyone having the skill set.

Following our report this week from the Audi Exchange about North American launch details surrounding the new Audi allroad, we were flooded with questions about the mention of monochromatic trim. Apparently there are also rumors out there that matte paint would clad the monochromatic cars. With a lack of clarity and a surplus of rumors, we decided to chase down an answer from Audi of America directly for a final word.
We recently visited Audi of America headquarters, coaxed into a visit by news that there was a German spec Audi A4 that had been built as a 2012 package mockup. And while the spec (Premium Plus, S-line bodywork and those 5-spoke wheels) may still be subject to change the most significant difference we saw on the car was its Glacier White Paint that was described

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Now Playing - TV Show Talk' started by Malcontent, Jul 23, 2012.
The role of 'Ramsay Snow' may have been cast.
It took me a sec to figure out who the woman was in that pic, as her character rarely smiles.
I could see him as Bolton's bastard, btw.
Uh, that's not Mance Rayder. That's Ramsay Snow.
Hahahhaa, I did not even catch the mismatch between the article and the thread titles.
I was thinking Iwan Rheon was a pretty bizarre choice for Rayder...so young!
A copy and paste mistake. I corrected it.
But isn't the title "King Beyond the Wall" still incorrect? Doesn't that title refer to Mance Rayder?
At Comic-Con a couple weeks ago, they announced several other new members of the Season 3 cast. As long as there's a thread for it, that info may as well be posted here as well:
Diana Rigg - Lady Olenna ("Queen of Thorns")
Mackenzie Crook - Orell
Thomas Brodie-Sangster - Jojen Reed
Ellie Kendrick - Meera Reed
Clive Russell - Brydon Tully
Tara Fitzgerald - Selyse Baratheon
Kerry Ingram - Shireen Baratheon
Nathalie Emannuel - Missadei
Paul Kaye - Thoros of Myr
Kristofer Hivju - Tormund Giantsbane
Philip McGinley - Anguy
Anton Lesser - Qyburn
Richard Dormer - Beric Dondarrion
The irony is, Mance Rayder, the King Beyond the Wall, is the one major character who has NOT been cast (or at least, whose casting has not been announced)...
Same here. He looks the part! Having finally finished the books, I will be hanging on to everything new about the show.

Georgia trailed 1-0 before scoring four times in the home half of the sixth inning Saturday afternoon. With one out, the homestanding Bulldogs strung together four straight hits off MSU starting pitcher Chris Stratton.
Kyle Farmer and Zach Cone began things with back-to-back infield singles. Brett DeLoach then launched a three-run home run – his first of the season – which benefitted from a stiff wind blowing out while barely clearing the left center field fence. Jonathan Hester followed with his third home run of the season – a massive solo shot just left of the extended wall in center field.
The sixth inning looked very similar to Friday night's series opener. In that contest, the teams were tied 1-1 before the hosts scored three times. Kyle Farmer hit a tie-breaking two-run home run in that at-bat for UGA.
"We are competing well in all phases of the game," MSU designated hitter Trey Johnson said. "It's just a matter of playing a complete game and putting everything together. Winning the Sunday game gave us a real big lift at Vanderbilt so hopefully we can come out and get that kind of win tomorrow."
MSU scored first Saturday afternoon. In the fifth inning, Trey Johnson ripped a two-run double off the base of the outfield wall. Jonathan Ogden then went up the middle with an RBI-single.
Staked to the 1-0 lead, Stratton was brilliant until hitting some struggles in the sixth inning. UGA pieced together four consecutive one-out hits to do all of their offensive damage.
In the eighth inning, the Maroon and White drew closer. With one out, Ogden lined a triple over the center fielder's head into the right center gap. Jaron Shepherd grounded out to the first baseman but that play did bring Ogden home for the score.
In the ninth inning, MSU scored again but could not produce a game-tying run. With one out, Jarrod Parks ripped a double to right center. After a pop-up, Cody Freeman lined an RBI-single.
That hit chased UGA starter Michael Palazzone, who was brilliant for the homestanding Bulldogs. Palazzone (4-1) worked 8.2 innings, allowing six hits and three runs (two earned), with three strikeouts and no walks. Tyler Maloof got the final out for his 10th save on the season.
For MSU, Stratton (4-2) worked six innings, allowing seven hits and four runs (all earned), with seven strikeouts and two walks. Tim Statz, Victor Diaz and Caleb Reed followed in relief.
MSU finished with six hits, including a pair of hits by Ogden.
Georgia finished with seven hits. DeLoach and Peter Verdin each multiple hits.
The series finale is set for a 1 p.m. CT start Sunday. MSU is scheduled to start junior left-hander Nick Routt (0-0, 1.29 ERA), while UGA is scheduled to start junior left-hander Craig Gullickson (2-1, 5.21). The Bulldogs then remain on the road for a Tuesday night 6:30 p.m. start against No. 20 Southern Mississippi at Trustmark Park in Pearl.

My q-jets have manual operated secondaries with an air valve. The air valve is not operated by vacuum but by the actual airflow going through the secondaries. Most people don't realize that the Q-jet also has a secondary accelerator circuit, a double pumper of sorts. I modified one of them to have a 1:1 ratio that makes the secondaries open at the same rate as the primaries. Throttle response is awesome, to say the least.
Carb too big?
I'm listening to you guys, and I'm reminded of when Mike Norris and I were killing our selves in top fuel in the early '70's. We were running a cast iron '92 with the typical 6/71, and an old set of hilborn four port " Laguna lean outs" on top. We would come into stage having to wing the engine 'cuz it was so fat it didn't want to stay lit, and burning the tops of the pistons on the long end. Carbs are alot like injectors in that they work great in a very narrow RPM range, and only adequately any other time.
I did read an article some years back that said "within reason, a too large carb is better than a too small one in that it will only flow as many CFM's as the engine needs at any given time."
However, it only stands to reason that it all hinges around getting close to the correct CFM's for any given engine. The 600 is probably reccomended simply because that's about as small a four barrel as your'e gonna find, and it won't overwhelm the little engine in everyday use.
Did I just stick my foot in my mouth!?!
Good points Mike. Engines are just a big set of compromises. No engine is good at everything - to get the ultimate top end you give up the bottom end and vice versa. The "smaller is better" mantra applies to 99.99999% of the engines out there 'cause they are mostly run on the street from stop light to stop light. Vac secondaries are a really good compromise 'cause they give you the bottom end you can live with but also give you a lot of the top end that is fun.
And I am honored that an old fueler like you has joined our little chat room here.
Hey Mike, I'm from Texas too and a couple of years older. We probably rubbed some rubber on the same asphalt. Why don't you come by http://www.nationaltbucketalliance.com/bb/. We share the same kind of roadsters and have a big chapter in Texas with lots of guys to help out. You can probably get a antique tag for that track roadster pretty easy without having to pass emissions.
On the smaller carb is usually better, the reason is that a little engine doesn't suck enough air at low speed to maintain enough velocity in a big carb to drag fuel from the idle circuits. You compound that with a big cam with low vacuum and you have an engine that won't idle at all under 1,000 -1,200 RPM. I have that problem somewhat on my T-Bucket. I have a 60 over 402 Big Block Chevy with a tunnel ram and 2 500 CFM Edelbrocks. (check out my photos) The engine idles around 950 RPM with the throttle blades against the venturis and minimal idle air on one carb. There is enough air leakage in the new carbs that I have to richen the mixture to keep it from melting the headers off. Anyway, on the street, smaller is easier to tune, has better throttle response and is more economical. The only reason we would want bigger is if our buddy is smokin us on the track.
Hey big guy, how's yer front end??
I looked at your pics. How well does that four leaf front spring work with the big motor?
I have the same front end on my '29, only I plan to change hangers to move the spring above the axle. I'm changing mostly for looks, but also to get just a bit more height. I have 114" wheelbase to work in, so I don't have to shove the 454 out over the front crossmember like I would if I had a stock A frame.
My front end on the T-Bucket works perfect. I think the original model A spring was above the axel. I had one in '63 and it had a "spring over" axel that had been dropped 6 inches. The stock spring worked fine with a full race flathead, iron bell housing and iron case 39 Ford trans, which is probably nearly as heavy as the Big Block Chevy and modern aluminum case transmission.
Speedway and some of the axel/spring manufacturers might be able to tell you the capacity of the spring. If it is like mine, it can flex a long way before the car bottoms out. With mine, the engine sits far enough back that the weight distribution is about 50/50 so the total is around 950 pounds on the front spring. I think the original Model A Coupe probably weighed around 2800 pounds so we're not getting even close to the stock spring capacity, if that is what you have.
Where in Texas are you?
Thanks for the carb formula
I will also look at the Holley add ons. Thank you.
I love Q Jets. They are the best street carb by far. Not hard to maintain/repair once you know the common problems. The Q Jet by design is a very economical carb with small primaries that besides being stingey on gas, are very responsive at low speed. The secondaries and and dual accelerators make it be an awesome performance carb. If you can find them and afford them, the latest models were also pretty good on emissions.
Yeah, everybody I talked to at Goodguys with heavy engines said they were having no problems with their front ends.
I 'm going to try to get the big motor as far back in the frame as I can to take advantage of that long wheelbase. It means I probably won't be able to run a set of laker style headers, but that's ok, as I have some cast iron truck headers that will probably make for a quieter exhaust note, and give some sanity to the car.
I live about 20 minutes North of Dallas in a little town called Highland Village.
It's cool here, every street you go down has some sort of project covered up on the driveway, and there are at least three buckets that I know of prowling around in the neighborhood.
While I'm on the suject of buckets, I just did the Ft.Worth swap meet. A handfull of buckets for sale there, and I'm biginning to see more ingenuity in design that other open wheeled rods. Lots of times, with an A, or deuce, everybody follows the leader, but buckets show more original thinking in suspension design and frame layout than others.

All But One UF Football Signee Expected to Make It To Campus
Published July 3rd, 2012
Loading Video...
As of Monday night, 20 of the 23 signees from Florida football's class of 2012 had been cleared to begin taking classes at Florida, and of the three remaining, only one appears as if he will not make it. Several media outlets have reported that four-star defensive line recruit Dante Fowler, Jr. was cleared to play and will begin taking classes this week, and that Jonathan Bullard is likely to follow soon. However, ESPN is reporting four-star defensive tackle Dante Phillips will not be admitted to UF.

Storage market leader EMC Corp. today reduced its business outlook for the second time in two months, warning that financial results for the first quarter and the year as a whole will likely be below expectations.
Hopkinton, Mass.-based EMC said first-quarter earnings are now expected to come in at about $394 million, which would be 10% lower than the consensus estimate that financial analysts had made based on previous guidance from the company. Revenue for the quarter should be up about 29% compared with the same period last year, EMC added.
For all of this year, though, EMC is now predicting revenue growth of approximately 20% due to cutbacks in IT spending driven by the softening economy. That's down from a growth prediction of 25% to 35% announced by the company in February, when its outlook for the year was first lowered.
Bill Teuber, EMC's chief financial officer, said in a statement today that the storage vendor is forecasting only a modest increase in annual earnings because of the spending slowdown by users. The company "is focusing on opportunities for cost reduction" but will continue to invest in areas such as research and development, customer service and sales, he said.
First-quarter revenue "ended up softer than anticipated because of some purchase hesitation from our customers," said Joe Tucci, EMC's president and CEO. "We found some customers reluctant to spend budgeted IT money, given the abundance of negative economic news."
Tightened spending was seen in both the U.S. and Europe, according to EMC, which projected total revenue of about $2.3 billion for the quarter. Noting that the amount of data that companies need to store continues to increase, Tucci said EMC is trying to show users "how we can help them through challenging budget constraints."
EMC dismissed several hundred workers in February, but the company said at the time that the reductions weren't an indication that it was looking to cut internal costs. Instead, EMC said, the move was part of a stringent review process in which department heads regularly assess the skills and performance of employees.
In a separate matter, EMC today said it has acquired a Brussels-based developer of storage software in a cash deal valued at less than $50 million. The purchase of FilePool NV is the sixth software-related acquisition that EMC has made in the past 15 months as it tries to reduce its reliance on sales of storage devices.

But with cartridges at £10 each - and it takes 5 then assuming a new one comes supplied with cartridges then when the ink runs out just buy a new printer!!!!
Don't see why you don't test papers size ie, its rated at 300gsm but can it actually do it? who know!
New ones come with quarter full cartridges.
It takes forever before it actually starts printing (God knows what it's doing, wasting ink, I suppose), so I don't know how you actually measure the printing speed? It's the worst printer I ever had... I just printed ONE page and it took about 3 minutes.Yes, 3 minutes.
The range of envelope formats is very limited for European users; e.g. there is no C5 or C6.
Further, the associated Easy-Photoprint EX application's function for designing CD/DVD labels has an unwelcome mind of its own: it crops imported pictures of non-standard format without asking the user if that is what (s)he wants.
This machine is like a diva prepares herself forever and ever for a simple performence. It's unbelievable all these noises and actions to get a single page. It takes forever to reach to "I'm ready boss" situation. WiFi performance? Trouble! It's easier to get a cable and print conventionaly.
"there are the two paper trays, squashed together to take up little more space than a single tray in other machines" - is that supposed to be a good thing? It only happens because the lower tray only takes half the paper of previous models like the ip5200R, whilst the upper tray takes no paper at all, at least not if we are talking about A4.
Other downsides of this printer compared to my ancient ip5200R, recently deceased:
> if networked, it won't go to sleep.
> noisier on normal setting, slower on quiet setting
> no top feed for heavy paper stock
> smaller A4 paper tray
> costlier ink, in smaller cartridges (The XL cartridges are smaller than the regular ones for the old printer)
> wifi only, no ethernet connection
>regularly drags through multiple pages
>in normal domestic use it spends more time on housekeeping than on printing, chundering away for ages spinning its wheels (and doubtless filling its sponge)
>anodyne design - it's just a black box with 'Canon' plastered on the front
As to progress - Android printing App (Pixma Print), of course not available 10 years ago. But it is a sad joke. PrintShare Premium is miles better.
Honestly I can't think of a single advantage over the decade old ip5200R. Oh, but of course, there is the flippy-out output tray thingy. Not much to show for 10 years R&D at Printer HQ.
I'm at a loss as to how you justify your conclusion: "Canon has put a good bit of design thought into the revamp of this mid-range photo printer and the PIXMA iP7250 benefits in several areas". Compared to their own decade-old equivalent there are no benefits evident at all, and several major steps backwards.
Lets at least hope it proves as long-lasting.
This is the worst printer I've ever had. I had a pixma 5200 before hich was a workhorse and a dream to use. This rubbush printer is a nightmare I have had it 2 months and never I mean never had touble free print form it. Do NOT buy this printer ! Why oh why can't cannon just keep it simple.
I wonder how can someone rate 8/10 this piece of rubbish?! It takes ages for warming up and ink consumption is just unbearable! Don't make my same mistakes. Do not buy this printer. Do not trust this site.
When you actually get this piece of garbage working, it makes quite nice images. BUT!
It takes about 3 minutes from power-on to actually start printing, because it "cleans itself". After that it is indeed fast, but this annoying housekeeping defeats the purpose...
Also, colored inks run out even without using them!!! In about 1 year I printed only 5 colored pages, and it tells me that my colored inks have run out. Probably it wastes ink when doing the 3-minute-long cleaning process. This never happened to me with my other inkjet printers.
I would echo your comments. The printer is noisy, and wastes more time and ink doing its housekeeping routines than it does actually printing. Ink costs are extortionate, so I have always used compatibles. Whether that is what has caused it to become faulty after less than two years I'll never know, but it is academic since there is no way I'll try paying hundreds of pounds a year on Canon inks to find out.
A whole new printer costs less than a new print head. This is totally stupid. On the one hand they boast of their green credentials, on the other they make you bury a whole printer in landfill instead of selling you a small and very easily replaceable part. Idiots.
Some hope. It just died, under two years old.
In fact a great photoprinter. High quality prints. For it's price I can live with that the first when print (when it's been idle for a while) takes it's time to warm up. After that it's pretty fast when you run prints after print. Oh yes it's a bit noisy. Easy and stable wifi setup on the plus side. But and don't agree that it consumes much ink. In the end, the most important thing: Does it deliver high quality photo prints? YES ip7250 does that - for a great price!
The worst canon printer I ever had. Green tint to the pictures even with the cartridges that came with it, the first 3 cm (1 inch) of an A4 prints correctly, after that, all the colors shift towards green. It's a total train wreck. Wouldn't recommend!!!
What to buy than?
I have Konica Minolta Bizhub C220 - it is cheaper on "ink", but does not print CD/DVD's.
What problems for instance?
I was also looking to replace my 2 good (decade old) ip4500's, that have
now packed up, and was considering this printer, however after reading
all the reviews I'm not so sure now ... just 11/2 (shallow) trays,
noisy, small (expensive) cartridges! Shame they discontinued the
earlier IP ranges, with two 50-100 sheet trays (and so convenient to
change papers being top loading), fairly quiet, reasonable priced inks
and less than a min. to start-up.
Might try to find still
working s/hnd versions on auction sites now, as just don't build them as
good now, and as Toboev says, should build them as they used too,
charge more for the unit, and less for inks. Rant over !
A $hite printer, full stop. It whirrs into action dutifully emptying all your cartridges on false cleans and alignments, noise, more noise and time wasted doing nothing only wasting the costly ink. Almost as bad as Epson printers I used to own. Cheap to buy but they get you on the inks, they get you with their failed business model.
Oh, and you only get a quarter of the ink in the cartridges that come with this newest lemon...

Apple also might come out with its own music-streaming service developed by a company called lala that Apple acquired in 2009.
And Carmelo Anthony's wife, lala -- who's the star of lala's Full Court Life -- wore the same dress in New York in March.
The Vice President's 66-year-old sister attended the Convention in a bright Givenchy dress also worn by Fergie and lala Anthony.
Among the star-studded guests were Rick Ruben, lala Anthony, Serena Williams and 12 Years A Slave director Steve McQueen.
As for her mathematics, it is no wonder that she was good in this science, because she was a pupil of lala Roy.
The person who can best answer the question is Selim, the lala.
lala would have liked to think that he was white, but could not force herself to do so.
"He took the ring and the tobacco-box and the money, for he was the stronger," answered the lala.
If the lala is not satisfied, he can go before the magistrate.
He gave lala of the Vaudeville three strings of pearls in two days.

US draft warns Sudan, S.Sudan of possible sanctions
By Michelle Nichols and Louis Charbonneau
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The United States on Thursday circulated to the U.N. Security Council a draft resolution that warns Sudan and South Sudan of sanctions if they do not comply with African Union demands to swiftly stop border clashes and resolve their many disputes.
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice told reporters the Security Council would begin discussing the draft resolution on Thursday and that it would likely need at least a few days of talks among members before going to a vote.
The AU's Peace and Security Council on Tuesday urged both sides to cease hostilities within 48 hours and to withdraw troops from disputed areas, and warned it would issue its own binding rulings if they fail to strike deals on a string of disputes within three months.
The draft resolution, obtained by Reuters, reaffirms those demands and warns Khartoum and Juba of "its determination, in the event that one or both of the parties have not complied, to take appropriate additional measures under Article 41 of the (U.N.) Charter."
Chapter 7 Article 41 of the U.N. Charter allows the council to impose sanctions to enforce compliance with its decisions.
"The intention of the text was to provide swift and substantive support to the decisions of the African Union in the form that the African Union requested," Rice, president of the 15-nation Security Council for April, told reporters.
The AU asked for the Security Council to pass a resolution making its demands legally binding on both Sudan and South Sudan.
"There were some members who either need more time to get guidance from their capitals or who are skeptical of the wisdom of going directly to a resolution," Rice said. "This is extremely urgent." Continued...

Canon 70D
Who's jumping the pool? (buying)
"It's become increasingly rare for any manufacturer to show us technology that's genuinely innovative and unique, but that's exactly what Canon has done with the EOS 70D and its 'Dual Pixel CMOS AF' sensor. It's fair to say that on-sensor phase detection AF has so far shown lots of promise without necessarily being truly transformative to the shooting experience of most the cameras that use it, with Nikon's 1 System cameras being the most obvious exception. But while these offer exceptional focusing performance in good light, especially with regards to tracking moving subjects, the AF system can struggle the moment you try shooting indoors with a zoom lens.
Canon's approach of splitting every single pixel on the sensor into two separately readable photosites promises, in theory at least, to overcome the biggest problems that have afflicted on-chip phase detection systems to date. We're certainly excited by what it claims to offer in principle - the ability to work across a large area of the frame, at apertures down to F11, and in low light is a pretty compelling combination. Throw in such goodies as face detection and tracking, and focus point selection by touch, and on paper the EOS 70D looks like it could offer the best live view autofocus of any camera on the market, bar none.
We've only had limited time with the 70D, though, which means it's too early for us to say how well its live view AF system works in practice. But based on what we've seen so far we're pretty optimistic - it's certainly streets ahead of anything Canon users have experienced so far. If it works consistently in a wide range of real-world shooting situations, and with the majority of popular lenses, then we think Canon could well be on to a winner.
We're also pleased to see Canon cramming in all the best features from its other cameras. The touchscreen interface that the 70D borrows from Canon's Rebel series is, we think, just about the best in the business. It complements the new AF system in offering focus point selection by touch, along with the ability to 'pull' focus from one subject to another during movie recording simply by touching the screen. Meanwhile the on-board Wi-Fi offers genuinely useful features, including the ability to use your smartphone as a remote control (complete with live view), and to browse and rate your images on a tablet. These may not be features you use all the time, but they expand the possibilities of what you can do with the camera.
Ironically, those who choose mainly to shoot the EOS 70D as a conventional SLR using the optical viewfinder will benefit least from all this technology. But even then it's a pretty compelling update to the EOS 60D - indeed despite how similar the cameras look externally, in spec terms the 70D now comes very close indeed to the EOS 7D. It has the same AF and metering sensors, and at 7fps shoots almost as fast. It also regains certain features that were lost in the step from the EOS 50D to the 60D, for example autofocus microadjustment. This all promises to make it one of the most capable all-rounders in its class.
Until we get a fully-shootable 70D, however, much of this remains conjecture. But there's a real chance that it could be the first SLR which genuinely works just as well in live view as it does using the optical viewfinder. And however much purist photographers may scoff, if you walk around a city like London in the middle of the tourist season, it's clear that this is how a great many people use their cameras. Quite simply, the smartphone generation has become used to composing on big LCD screens.
Finally, we're also really interested to see what happens when Canon - as it inevitably must - puts its new AF technology into a mirrorless camera. An 'EOS M2' with Dual Pixel CMOS AF and more enthusiast-oriented controls could completely transform Canon's fortunes in this sector, after the lukewarm reception received by the EOS M. This could also substantially negate one of the biggest disadvantages of mirrorless cameras so far - their relatively poor focus tracking capabilities - raising further questions about why you'd still bother with the bulk of an SLR. But that's an argument for another day."
Intro price is $1200 for body only, that's IMO about $200 too high. The X0D bodies have always been right around $1k with the next step up being around $1400, this is going to step on toes.
Thanks 70D for making 60D's cheaper (just upgraded from the baby T3)
no point in upgrading from a 7D.. it does have couple extras, but 7DmkII will kill this and price will be probably in the $1600 range based on the 6D price.
Not me....FF and staying FF....

Politics, religion, money. Bring up any of these subjects and you're bound to hit a nerve. If you mention architectural fees, you'll zap about 31 nerves. That's how many e-mails I received after I quoted a hypothetical fee in my April editorial, "Where's the Architect?" Thirty-one missives constitutes a hefty e-mail bag for our small magazine. The fee in question? Roughly 15 percent of construction costs. I mentioned a typical house size of 2,200 square feet and hard costs of about $200 a foot. This is the prevailing rate in my Washington, D.C., market for a top-notch architect of high-end houses. Well, apparently I live in the Emerald City, and I need to take off the green glasses. Many of my correspondents wrote to tell me they could retire now if they made that much per house. That fee is their American dream. No, they told me, their compensation for full architectural services (including construction observation) on a custom home amounts to what a real estate agent makes on the average sale of a house. So for their year or two of effort, these architects pull in around 6 percent. In our hot real estate market in D.C., agents rake in their 6 percent for just a couple of weeks' work (although they often split it with another agent). Now, the architects who quoted that fee tend to work in smaller cities and towns where they compete head-to-head with builders who throw in the plan for free, building designers who charge less than 5 percent of construction costs, and stock plan businesses that sell reproducible vellums for $1,000 a set. In their markets, you can buy an architect-designed custom house for the price of a loaded Toyota Camry.
Other architects told me they make anywhere from 5 percent to 10 percent of hard costs. Some well-known ones confided they make as much as 20 to 25 percent. And I happen to know construction costs can easily top $200 a foot in big metro areas, their wealthy suburbs, or vacation destinations. This is some very fuzzy math, and it adds up to a great deal of confusion on the part of professionals and clients. How can you explain why you cost 10 percent more than the guy down the street? Or how can you live on less than a real estate agent makes for a fraction of the work?
Buffeted by market forces and unmoored by the American Institute of Architects' inability to set and enforce professional fee guidelines (thanks to antitrust laws), architects have no dock in this storm. Each must decide upon and then justify those commissions to each potential client. And without a professional standard to guide them, those clients try to find their way in the dark, often ending up with the cheapest deal from the best salesperson.
What's your recourse? Because of those antitrust laws we can't just pick a price for all architects to follow and stick to it. But you can determine what your market will bear, what you can live with, and what your target customer can likely pay. There will always be a cheaper deal for them to take, you just have to be the best salesperson they talk to. You know you're worth the premium. Don't be humble, don't be shy. Tell them why.

I had Fraxel restore on part of my face (the part just to the side of my nose) to generate collagen around a scar from a previous laser procedure to remove wart.
The doctor ran the laser 8 or 9 times across the area (area just to the side of nose), this was a Restore laser and I thought it was suppose to be gentle. It is 5 weeks out and I am still red/bronze glow in color.
The doc said it will take time and I wear sun block to prevent damage. How long of a recovery time? Have you ever heard of something like this? Area still itches and burns and I am worried about scarring and discoloration.

Israeli Soldier Gets 45 Days For Killing to Palestinian Women
August 12, 2012 at 6:07 PM Leave a comment
My heart bleeds for the Palestinians:
An Israeli soldier who was indicted two years ago in the fatal shooting of two Gaza Strip women during the 22-day military offensive Operation Cast Lead has agreed to a plea bargain in which he will serve 45 days in jail for illegal use of a weapon, Israeli Army Radio reported Sunday.
The soldier, who was not identified, could have faced up to 20 years in prison on the manslaughter charge.
His case was one of a handful of criminal prosecutions — and one of the most serious — to arise from Israel's conduct during the 2008-2009 offensive against Hamas-controlled Gaza, an operation aimed at stopping militants from firing rockets into southern Israel.
The incident was among those mentioned in the United Nations' Goldstone Report, which accused Israel of deliberately targeting civilians during the conflict.
Majda Abu Hajaj, 35, and her mother, Raya Salama Abu Hajaj, 64, were killed as they fled fighting with a group of civilians carrying a white flag, witnesses at the time reported.
Two lives. 45 days.

This timeline traces how prejudice has affected who we are, how we govern and what we believe. For centuries science and politics have influenced how we think and feel about those who have been considered different, inferior, or threatening. Consider whether you think these attitudes continue to resonate today.
Scientific thought shifts away from using 'race' to define human variation. After World War II, international declarations are made relating to discrimination and human rights. While the doors to European migrants widen, Australian Government preferences for a dominant British-based population see migrant selection and assimilation policies continue well into the 1960s. Assimilation policies relating to Aboriginal people also persevere but the fight to recognise Indigenous rights in Australia gains momentum, partly influenced by international civil rights movements. Government policies embracing a culturally diverse population are evident in the 1970s through increased Indo-Chinese refugee intakes and multicultural programs.
Efforts to perpetuate a white Australia see the start of a massive assisted British immigration scheme, as well as the acceptance of refugees from Baltic countries. 'It is my hope that for every foreign migrant there will be ten people from the United Kingdom.' Arthur Calwell, Minister for Immigration, 1946.
A policy of legal racial segregation, known as apartheid, is enforced by the National Party government of South Africa until 1994. In Australia, segregation is imposed unofficially in public places such as theatres and swimming pools.
Australia signs the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In the aftermath of World War II and the Holocaust, nations begin to dismantle discriminatory immigration policies and introduce bills of rights.
UNESCO releases its statement on race: 'At the moment, it is impossible to demonstrate that there exist between 'races' differences of intelligence and temperament other than those produced by cultural environment.'
Citizenship ceremonies are embraced by local residents across Australia, who organise events for recently arrived migrants in council and community halls.
Australia is a signatory to the UN Convention on Genocide, despite the continuing removal of Aboriginal children from their parents which under Article 2 (e) is considered to be a form of genocide.
The double helix structure of DNA is identified by James D. Watson and Frances Crick. From the 1970s, genetic research begins to map the history of human populations.
Civil Rights movements in the UK and USA influence Aboriginal political activism in Australia. In 1963 Martin Luther King advocates for racial harmony in his famous 'I have a dream' speech at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.
Australia is a signatory to the International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination. The 1960s see several UN conventions ratified by Australia in relation to discrimination and civil and political rights.
Charles Perkins leads a 'freedom ride' by Aboriginal people and non- Aboriginal students through New South Wales in support of Aboriginal rights.
National referendum gives the Commonwealth power to make and override state laws for Aboriginal people, and to count Aboriginal people in the national census.
Commonwealth government establishes a policy of 'self-determination' to restore to Aboriginal people a voice in their economic, social, political and land ownership affairs.
The 'White Australia' policy officially ends and Al Grassby, Minister for Immigration, launches the policy of multiculturalism.
The Racial Discrimination Act is passed in the Federal Parliament. The Australian Senate unanimously endorses a resolution tabled by Aboriginal Senator Neville Bonner acknowledging prior ownership of this country by Aboriginal peoples and seeking compensation for their dispossession.
Saigon falls and a draconian communist government in Vietnam takes power. People flee and begin to arrive in Australia by boat and through refugee camps. Malcolm Fraser's Liberal government adopts a generous refugee intake policy, broadly accepted by the Australian community.

From ancient days people did numerous treatments in order to maintain and enhance their natural beauty as well as to maintain a balance between the mind and the body. Ancient therapists did constant experiments in techniques, theories and treatments using various natural ingredients such as herbs. Natural resources like water, minerals and clay also play a significant role in the process of making certain herbs which are being used in spa treatments.
Spa treatment helps to relieve body pain and improves the blood circulation in the system. It also assists to energize your fatigued body and lets your muscles relax and unwind in a natural way. According to medical research, it is proven that the spa treatments can reduce your hypertension and blood pressure. Nowadays based on your personal needs, you can choose the suitable spa treatment from a range of treatments available.
Most of these spa treatments are inspired and introduced by Asian therapists. Asian spa treatments are considered the best in the world. It has had a deep influence on the spa and wellness treatment industry which ranges from treatments, ingredients, interior designs to services. Asian inspired spa therapies have become the foundation and customers expect these exclusive services at any spa offering all inclusive therapeutic treatments.
As an industry that symbolizes the core of Asia's past traditions and history, spa industry has now widely spread across Western countries but the real effect of the treatment is lost during this expansion over the years across the miles. Asian inspired therapies are used in these modern spas including the treatment rooms with treatments like sauna and salt. One of the most important aspects of a spa is its masters or the therapists. Most of the western spas nowadays have therapists from either Asian countries or crews who are trained under Asian spa therapists.
If you want to maintain your good health and natural beauty at the same time, wellness retreat at a luxury spa resort would be an ideal option. COMO Shambhala which promotes healthy living is one of the best places available for a perfect spa treatment and a wellness getaway.

So yeah! I got a 3DS, finally. Well, I had it for a few a couple of weeks now but mostly been playing Etrian Odyessy and Fire Emblem. Now I have Animal Crossing so I should probably throw my friend code out there. Add me! 2680-9585-3443 and tell me yours, lets bury our land mines for our animal buddies to explode on. Yeah. Thats how it works right?
Also, while I'm at it, I know i haven't really been doing much lately. I have had a busy month and then some what with moving, work and everything. I doubt I'll be drawing much stuff for myself now either but I always make time for games!

As long as the work was mostly in country villages the preaching was naturally of the pietistic type.
His mind was sombre and pietistic, and his imagination bizarre and vivid.
Her past pietistic fervors had left her with no memento of consolation.
Then, again, the whole thing is a little too pietistic for ordinary use.
High office could only be acquired by becoming a servile instrument of the pietistic party, which was headed by the king.
There was nothing of the ethereal, the spiritual, the pietistic, or the pathetic about him.
With his pietistic views Brorson naturally deplored such a misuse of the season.
There was pietistic influence in Ritschl's ancestry, as also in Schleiermacher's.
His Moravian origin and pietistic training he could never forget; nor do we believe he attempted it.
Already Perugino had opened a manufactory of pietistic pictures, and was employing many pupils on his works.
