and to see you soldering away at it....
know you (Lawrence) don't like the idea of step-by-step guides as you say the people don't learn anything
As for the butane iron, it can be tricky at times but it is adjustable so I tend to keep it on as low a setting as possible. I need to get a new one though any advice on a good, easy to use, precise, electrical soldering iron?
I thought that the original Genesis MK1 A/V out was an 8-Pin Din, however I bought one and it doesn't quite fit.

A Prince George's County Circuit Court judge ruled against Tiffany Alston and Greg Hall in the status of a seat in the House of Delegates.
Judge C. Philip Nichols Jr. ruled Wednesday evening in favor of the Prince George's County Democratic Central Committee, Gov. Martin O'Malley and House Speaker Michael Busch, and against Alston and Hall.
"The circumstances of this case do little for the good name and reputation of our state and even less for our county," Nichols wrote in his ruling. "Because Ms. Alston's conviction was final, and was not reversed or overturned on appeal, we hold that the 24th Legislative District seat is vacant."
The judge referred to Alston's conviction in June of stealing $800 from the state to pay a law firm employee, in addition to stealing money for her campaign fund.
He then wrote about Hall's criminal record, which caught the attention of the governor, who asked the Central Committee to withdraw Hall's name, citing drug and gun charges Hall faced about 20 years ago.
"In 1992, Mr. Hall pleaded guilty to possession of a handgun in connection with a shooting that resulted in the slaying of a 13-year-old boy," according to the judge's ruling, citing the case.
At a hearing Tuesday, an attorney asked Nichols to order O'Malley to appoint Hall. Hall's attorney claims the governor was required to appoint Hall within 15 days of the county's Democratic Central Committee's nomination of Hall to fill the seat in November.
The judge ruled that the Central Committee had the right as of Nov. 26 to withdraw Hall's submission to the governor because the submission was incomplete.
"Given that Mr. Hall's appointment was not completed, we find the Central Committee retains its power to withdraw its submission until the governor signs the commission," Nichols wrote.

Countryside Council for Wales Landscape & wildlife
Many local authorities in Wales - in urban as well as rural areas - have set up Local Nature Reserves (LNRs). There are a total of 62 throughout the country, all with natural features that are of special interest to their local area.
These sites can include abandoned quarries, redundant canals or disused railway sidings as well as woodlands, wetlands, heath lands and coasts. They can offer fine opportunities for conservation and education, quiet enjoyment and public appreciation of nature.
They help protect habitats and species and help forge partnerships between the local authority, nature conservation organisations and the community. They also make people more aware of local wildlife and offer an ideal place for children to learn about nature.

Membership Connections
Here are five good reasons why non-members of ALA should become members, with five opinions from members.
Connections and Networking
ALA has helped me be more connected with other librarians and libraries. As an academic librarian, we sometimes are sheltered in similar libraries. However, because of ALA, I have met some wonderful public and school librarians, which has led me to feel more connected to other types of libraries as well as recognize issues that affect libraries of all types.
– Jenny Emanuel, Digital Services & Reference Librarian, University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign
Professional Involvement
ALA allows many opportunities for me to get involved and to become more active in the profession. I am able to assume many leadership positions and to make a difference in librarianship. As library staff, I see ALA helping me to network with colleagues all over the world, to grow in my professional career, to advance in leadership position, and to development many wonderful friendships.
- Dora Ho, Young Adult Librarian, Los Angeles Public Library - North Hollywood Regional Branch
Professional Development
No matter how tight the budget is, it's a huge mistake for any organization to stop training completely. As the economy ebbs and flows it is crucial that libraries and our staff learn to go with that flow. Only through continuous learning can we keep our workforce's skills up to date and prepare our employees for the changes that will no doubt take place in organizations.
- Lori Reed, Learning & Development Coordinator, Charlotte Mecklenburg Library
Making a Difference for Libraries
I have been interested in intellectual freedom issues since grad school. Through membership in ALA, I've been part of groups like the Intellectual Freedom Committee and the Intellectual Freedom Round Table that helped me get involved quickly and contribute in a significant way to a cause I believe in. I'd encourage every member to take advantage of the rich ALA resources, get involved and have your ideas heard, and work together on the issues that are at the heart of our profession.
- Martin Garnar, Reference Services Librarian, Regis University
Staying Current
I look forward to receiving the latest issue of my professional journals because I know there is likely to be an author who has been faced with the same problems that I have. That author usually has some solution to offer that I may be able to use or that may spark a solution or idea in my mind.
- Dee Gwaltney, Library Media Specialist, Lee M. Thurston High School, Redford, Michigan

Towson Manor Residents To Rally Against New Firehouse
County officials has identified Towson Manor Park as a potential site for the fire station.
Towson Manor Village residents are planning to protest the possible contruction of a fire station at a nearby community park during a Thursday afternoon rally.
After much speculation, the county confirmed in a news release Tuesday that Towson Manor Park, which sits on Towsontown Boulevard between East Towson and Towson Green, has been identified as a prospective site for the new station. The current one, located at the corner of York Road and Bosley Avenue, will be sold.
In an email, Towson Manor resident Megan Saunders shared that community members are staging a protest against the fire station construction at Towson Manor Park on Thursday from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. Protestors are meeting at 4 p.m.
"Essentially our viewpoint is that it's disappointing that our park is still in consideration," said Saunders, a mother of four who has resided at Towson Manor for more than 11 years. "It's the only green space we have."
County officials are also intending to sell the Randallstown Police Substation and North Point Government Center in Dundalk.
According to the news release, funds from the sales of these buildings will first cover the costs of replacement facilities, and the remainder will benefit school capital improvement projects.

Sorry, I've updated the story to give a clearer idea of where the park is located.
Raymond Saunders
10:12 am on Wednesday, December 12, 2012
Worth noting that the current fire station property does not HAVE to be sold - this would be a choice the county's elected officials would be consciously making. My understanding is that the 7 County Council members would have to vote to approve.

Repurposing this park for a new fire station is neither creative nor innovative in my view, but rather short-sighted. The individuals checking properties in this administration need to look at the properties and parking facility on Ware Avenue and the parking facility near the Circuit Court. From prior articles, I understand that both of these are the least profitable of Towson's garages and at least one of them is nearing the end of its useful life according to a January quote by the Chief Administrative Officer. With the upcoming construction of the Towson Circle III/Towson Square underground garage, the Ware Avenue garage may become both unnecessary and unprofitable. The Revenue Authority built the Towson District Court and funded the expansion of the Towson library so they have the statutory authority to build a new fire station if they so chose. The Revenue Authority also oversees 5 public golf courses in this County. If funds are so tight, I dont know why there isnt any publicized talk about one or more of those properties being on the table for sale to fund both the new fire house and the air conditioning. As between golf courses, fire stations, public schools and public parks, golf courses where people pay to play should come last.
9:48 pm on Wednesday, December 12, 2012
I do not think this will fly. This park was 20 years in the making and has only been around about 10-15 years. Councilman David Marks has now said numerous times that he opposes using the park for the fire station. Marks instructed Kamenentz to contact certain persons in the area neighborhood associations to discuss. The county executive dropped the ball. Give Mr. Marks tons of credit for knowing his constituents. Yet it's strange how we don't see his good work highlighted, from the Hillen Road improvements to the cleanup from the York Road eye-sores, both of which essentially bookend Towson Manor. He is easily the hardest working member of this Council. I'd like to thank him for representing Towson so well. I look forward to seeing David Marks act for the people he knows so well.

13 Frederick County, Md. Bills Move onto Public Hearing
By: Dawn White
Updated: December 7, 2012
FREDERICK, MD - Frederick County Commissioners presented their 2013 legislative package to the Frederick County Delegation Friday morning.
"I think we had a great conversation with the commissioners where they rolled out their legislative package," says Sen. David Brinkley, (R) , chairman of the Frederick County Delegation. "They have their specific needs, their specific wants, but then also their sentiments, and those are their position statements."
Slots could end up in Frederick County charitable groups, such as VFWs and religious organizations. That's just one of the bills county commissioners discussed with the delegation.
"I would like to see a state-wide voter ID or proof of identity bill, so I'm excited about that one, but there's a lot of issues in the legislative package," says Blaine Young, (R) , president of the Frederick County Board of Commissioners.
13 county bills and 17 position statements are moving forward to a public hearing. One of those bills would allow deer hunting with a rifle.
"It's something that's permitted in a lot of counties, and I suggested they model it after what the other counties have done if they want to have it get through. We're just concerned that people hunt where they have permission," says Sen. Ron Young, (D) , Frederick and Washington Counties.
Another bill to get the green light would allow county franchises and chain stores to sell wine and beer. Currently, only corporations are allowed to sell them.
Also moving forward is a bill to ban synthetic marijuana in the county. Senator Young and Delegate Galen Clagett will also sponsor a state-wide spice ban bill.
"Obviously, it's a health hazard, and it should be controlled, so it's that and the fact that it does impact how the county operates when these things are being sold legally," said Clagett, (R) - vice chairman of the Frederick County Delegation.
The delegation will vote on which bills to present in Annapolis when session begins in January.
The public hearing on the 2013 legislative package will be held Saturday, December 8, at 10 a.m., inside the first-floor hearing room of Winchester Hall.

Seasonal skin allergies?
Posted 23 May 2012 - 07:22 PM
However, even with the 3 Benadryl he's still pretty itchy and it's starting to drive ME crazy! He has some mild rashes on his legs and belly and hasn't itched/bitten himself so much that he bleeds, but (1) the thought of buying this much Benadryl every.year is depressing and (2) it's not helping as much as I'd like.
So my question is, does anyone else In the southeast have some light to shed on the idea and/or any other suggestions to help him stop itching so badly? The vet gave me some medicated shampoo but it didn't seem like it helped much. I'm giving him another two weeks before we head back...

You're probably not giving Rudder enough. If he weighs 30 pounds, then he needs a minimum of 30 mg 3x/day. My vet recommended 40 mg for Shoshone, 3x/day. You have to get a little crafty with slicing the pills, but it's easy with practice.
Buy generic, for pete's sake! Diphenhydramine, generic for benedryl is dirt cheap, and even cheaper if you can gget it at Costco. The last time I bought a big bottle at Costco, around 500 pills I think, it was less than $10.
Look into other things you can do.
Wash his bedding in hot water, dry in a hot dryer, weekly. This kills dust mites. Wipe him down when he comes in from outside. If you have a yard, keep the grass mowed short. Keep the house super clean, dust free. If he's got plushy toys, get rid of them. Dust mites think plush/foam rubber/feather pillows/mattresses, carpet, etc, are Club Med, just for them.
If you have an air filter, keep the filter clean.
Is there a veterinary dermatologist close enough for you to get a consult? A good specialist is worth their weight in gold, and will save you money in the long run.
Good luck! I feel your pain, a miserable dog means a miserable owner. Hope you find something that helps.

In my experience, the single most important thing that you can do is bath often. Every day is fine (contrary to popular belief, just use water or a very mild shampoo). The pollen and other allergens can be absorbed thru the skin. You need to get this stuff off of your dog.
If benedryl doesn't work, there are other antihistamines that you can try. Ask your vet.
Finally, an Aveeno (coloidal oatmeal--buy at the drug store) really puts out the fire for 24 hours and moistens the coat. I make a slurry in water and dump it over my dog.

I'm originally from the Texas panhandle, where pollen practically doesn't exist, so all this allergenic stuff is new to me!

Thanks everyone. I buy the Kroger generic Benadryl but he goes through a box a week. I'll try upping the dosage, he weighs 45 lbs (I still don't know how, he's super lanky) so maybe 4 or 5 a day will do it. If not, maybe I can survive giving him a few baths a week...not sure Rudder will see it the same way though!
I'm originally from the Texas panhandle, where pollen practically doesn't exist, so all this allergenic stuff is new to me!
Try giving him 1 and a half pills, (if they're 25 mg pills) 3x/day. That's 37.5 mg for a 45 lb dog, which is pretty close. Or give him 2 whole pills. The dosages I see recommended are a range, from 1mg/lb od dog to 2mg per pound of dog.
YOu can get a pill cutter for about $2, they should have them at the Kroger pharmacy.
The larger dose 3x/day will give you a better result, if the dephenhydramine works. Giving a single pill of 25mg more often won't help.
If you can get to a Target, Costco or WalMart, the cost is much better.

Luke's seasonal allergies tend to run from August to October -- I'm guessing his is mostly a ragweed allergy as that's when that particular weed is at its peak in this area.
Last year my method of attack was to hose him off three times a day. I'd hose him off in the morning, when I got home from work and once again in the evening. This at least seemed to provide him with some relief. We've done the Aveno oatmeal bath mixtures as well, but cold hosing seems to work just as well.
Luke has Addison's Disease and is already on a daily steroid for treatment of that -- Because finding the right dose is so critical, my vet and I have decided NOT to pursue steroids for his allergies because we don't want to throw his whole system off and ruin our "happy point" with his Addison's meds. If it weren't for that, though, honestly I'd probably shoot him up during those months because he gets so miserable.
He seemed to lose a lot less hair with the daily hosing last year. The year before that he was nearly bald in several areas.

Because freedom can't protect itself.
In the Family (POV 2008) tells the first-person story of director Joanna Rudnick as she tries to decide on a course of action after testing positive for the BRCA1 mutation, the "breast cancer gene." To raise public awareness of the issues being presented in the April 15th Supreme Court hearing in our case challenging gene patents, Rudnick, POV, and Kartemquin Films will re-release the film online for free streaming. The film features Rudnick's probing interview with Myriad Genetics' founder about its patents on the genes. Today, Rudnick gives POV an update on her health and personal life, and addresses the upcoming Supreme Court case regarding human gene patenting. An excerpt of the update appears below – to read Rudnick's thoughts in full, and to watch In the Family, go to: http://to.pbs.org/ZjQjcW
At the beginning of the first Senate hearing on the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) instructed those in the hearing room to stand if they had been affected by gun violence. As nearly everyone in the packed hearing room, including several Senators, stood in silence, the powerful tone was set for the debate over what to do next.
For several months, I have attended every event and hearing on Capitol Hill regarding the Senate's response to the Newtown shootings. I saw the father of a slain first grader whose uncontrollable sobbing at a Judiciary Committee hearing left everyone in the room quiet and still. I witnessed testimony from a doctor who struggled to retell the story of removing bullets from the heads of five-year-olds. And I saw incredible passion and a sense of purpose from both sides of the aisle.
A federal judge has granted the ACLU's motion to intervene in an Oregon case that raises the question of whether the Fourth Amendment allows Drug Enforcement Administration agents to obtain confidential prescription records without a judge's prior approval. (We've previously written about the case here).
The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments today in Maryland v. King, a case that raises the question of whether the police can take DNA...
The Drug Enforcement Administration is trying to access private prescription records of patients in Oregon without a warrant, despite a state law forbidding it from doing so. The ACLU and its Oregon affiliate are challenging this practice in a new case that raises the question of whether the Fourth Amendment allows federal law enforcement agents to obtain confidential prescription records without a judge's prior approval. It should not.
We hate to say "I told you so."
In 2010, the Supreme Court heard a case called NASA v. Nelson, which involved the government's right to carry out highly intrusive background checks. NASA decided to require its employees—many of whom had already been working for the agency for many years in what the government conceded were "low-risk" and "non-sensitive" positions—to fill out a form in which they were required to disclose any illegal drug use or possession within the previous year, along with details on any treatment or counseling received for such use. These employees were also required to sign an authorization permitting NASA's security people to obtain
I recently wrote about how difficult it is to know which technologies on the horizon will turn into genuine privacy nightmares and which remain menacing but distant threats. One group of technologies that we've had our eyes on for a while are those that purport to read minds. On Sunday the Washington Post ran an article on a Maryland case where a murder defendant is trying to introduce fMRI "lie detector" evidence in his defense. Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) allows researchers to look at neural activity in real-time by using powerful magnets to trace blood-flow changes in the brain.
One of the biggest problems with protecting privacy in the United States is that, almost alone in the advanced-industrial world, we do not have an overarching privacy law that codifies the basic privacy principles that are accepted around the world as the gold standard for protecting this human right.
Instead, the United States pursues a sector-by-sector approach to privacy. The result is that our privacy protections vary wildly according to area. We have some (inadequate) protections for our health and financial data, very few protections for our commercial transactions, and very rigorous protections for our video rental records.
I just returned from the 2nd International Summit on the Future of Health Privacy in Washington, D.C. where the title of this year's Summit was: "Is there an American Health Privacy Crisis?" The Summit brought together privacy experts, public health officials, lawyers, technology developers, and academics to discuss the importance of privacy protection (as I wrote about last week) as the federal government moves to establish the Nationwide Health Information Network (NwHIN). Security breaches and patient consent were two major themes at the Summit—two issues which I believe are inextricably linked.
During the Super Bowl two years ago, a commercial aired featuring a doctor questioning his patient, a man in boxer shorts sitting on an exam table, about whether he'd been tested for cortical spreading depression. The patient begins to say he doesn't remember, and suddenly flood lights go up. The patient is surrounded by doctors in white coats sitting in a theatre round. One by one, the doctors stand up and recite entries from the patient's medical records. When they finish, the mortified patient looks at his doctor and says, "Um, can I put my pants back on, please?" The commercial was for GE's electronic health records system, and I remember thinking: "Was this an ad FOR electronic health records, or AGAINST them?"

Carousel Animals Shown at Wonderland of ToysOne local collector recaptures the magic of carousels through her collectionLinda Walsh has restored hundreds of pieces of carousels since her husband bought her first horse for her in the '80s. She fell in love with the bright colors and cheery organ music when she was child. Now she travels to auctions buying old horses, dragons, camels and any other animal she might find. Once they're bought and paid for, the hard work begins. The old horses were covered in layers of paint, some it toxic. They've been handled. Walsh pointed to a horse with no ears, "They've been loved off," she said. Every year, the Anchorae Museum borrows a few for their Wonderland of Toys display, which shows generations of kids' toys. Walsh said carousels weren't always for kids. They were once a place where young couples went courting. "There were band organs with no volume control. They were made to be heard a long ways. [A] gentleman could bring his lady, help her on the horse and put his arms around her because otherwise, she'd fall off." The carousel travels at about 26 miles per hour, a speed that would make lady's skirts flutter, "and the gentlmen could stand and see ankles." They were a little scandalous. The Women's Temperance League attempted to shut them down. Walsh explained why, "Ladies were showing off. And in the chariots, they would steal kisses, because you could do that because they had very high backs." Many of these horses and carousels were made when people didn't have electricity, so just seeing the lighted display was a special event. Walsh said even now, the animals evoke a childlike excitement in adults. "You rarely see anybody who walks slowly to the animal." Since they're each different, almost everyone has a favorite. They almost have personalities. Walsh pointed out a zebra who had an almost demure look. "She's not a plaything, she's a lady... elegant." Other horses almost snarled in intensity. Walsh said little boys gravitated toward those. She said choosing a horse was sometimes an agonizing decision. That's why Disney horses are all white -- to make it so kids chose more quickly. She said all those different animals and personalities are part of what made carousels so magical, "Here's this spinning machine in amongst the trees in the park. Romance... fun... the music... just the pleasure of riding around." A pleasure she captured in every coat of paint.

New York City Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Carter Strickland touts contributions to Catskills economy
KINGSTON, N.Y. — Reacting to a study on the economic impact of recreational activities in the Catskills region, New York City Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Carter Strickland said last week that his agency will continue to work with local partners.
The study was commissioned by the Catskill Center for Conservation and Development, Catskill Mountainkeeper, and Catskill Heritage Alliance.
"DEP employs almost 1,000 professionals in the watershed that help ensure that nearly nine million New Yorkers have a reliable supply of high quality tap water. In addition, we have a robust capital construction program that creates good local jobs," Strickland said of his agency's contributions to the region's economy.
"We are also proud that our efforts to encourage recreation throughout the watershed have strengthened the tourism economy that has been a hallmark of the Catskills for decades. New York City currently owns 114,833 acres in the Catskills that are open for fishing, hiking, boating and other forms of low impact recreation that attract people from other regions of the state and country. In the past five years alone, we have removed the permit requirements from 52,198 acres of that recreation land, making it even easier for our neighbors and visitors to enjoy," Strickland continued.
The agency also has issued land-use permits to local groups to build and maintain trails for hiking, cross country skiing and snowshoeing, and a recreational boating program on four reservoirs (Cannonsville, Neversink, Pepacton, and Schoharie) attracted 983 boaters last year, Strickland noted.
"As a diligent steward of protected land in the watershed, we will continue to work with our local partners to explore additional opportunities to share the scenic beauty of the Catskills and strengthen the regional economy, while protecting the vital high quality water supply that nearly half the state's population depends on every day," Strickland said in the release.

Source: Cavaliers involved in three-team trade talks with Nets and Magic
The Cavaliers were reportedly working as the "facilitator" in a possible Dwight Howard blockbuster trade involving the Orlando Magic and the Brooklyn Nets.
The Nets are desperately trying to enlist teams that have major salary-cap space. One of their calls went to the Cavs.
The Nets reportedly were trying to execute a sign-and-trade with power forward Kris Humphries going to the Cavs. The Cavs showed some interest if they could stockpile another first-round pick to add to their bulging arsenal.
A source said the holdup was the Nets wanted the Cavs to give them one of their first-round picks, which was a potential deal-breaker. Unless the Nets back off that demand, a source said, the Cavs could pull out of the talks.
The Cavs have three potential first-round picks in the 2013 NBA draft, as well as two second-rounders. It's not out of the question they could get more.
The 6-foot-11, 275-pound Howard has longed to go to the Nets and play with point guard Deron Williams. Howard is scheduled to make $19 million this season.
In the proposed trade, the Nets would re-sign center Brook Lopez and send him to Orlando along with several first-round picks. The 6-9, 235-pound Humphries averaged 13.8 points and 11.0 rebounds last year with New Jersey.
If the 27-year-old Humphries was involved in a sign-and-trade, he'd have to sign at least a three-year deal. But only one of those years would have to be fully guaranteed. He would likely sign for about $8 million in 2012-13.

Grilling is a simple way to feed your family well this summer.

Double Star Ranch
Saddling up on friendly, trail-savvy horses, groups set off into the surrounding mountains during 60-minute rides
Recommended Things to Do by Groupon Customers
Heritage Ranch immerses visitors in its idyllic woodlands crisscrossed by old dirt trails over which horses pull carriages, wagons, and sleighs that look as though they've rolled straight out of history. Under the tree canopies, couples can devote their time on the ranch to one another with romantic date night packages that combine carriage & sleigh rides with dinner and wine at Westlake Grille. The sound of laughter from children and families can be heard during trail rides as they wend through the property's 217 acres of parkland—equivalent to one clydesdale football field—and camps keep the good times coming during the summer.
Surrounded by rolling mountains and the shimmering waters of Okanagan Lake, packs of go-karts spend their days chasing each other around Westside Superkarts' challenging track. Under new management, Westside allows adult karts to navigate four hairpin and four banked turns at various speeds—basic single and double karts can hit 35 kph, performance karts are capable of 60 kph, and Extreme Elite karts reach velocities of up to 75 kph. Kiddie karts putter around a separate track, offering their young operators important driving tips, such as how to pass politely. After the races are finished, drivers may receive a personalized print-out or e-mail of their lap times, view them through a smart phone app, and have them posted to Facebook.
4Cats Art Studio founder Joey Simon and her son Jet developed their fun and educational art program in 2005 while transposing the techniques they learned in a library's collection of art history books onto blank canvases. Since then, their process of teaching students about an artist's method and then allowing them to practice it on their own has expanded throughout North America. The studio draws its name from Els Quatre Gats, or The Four Cats, a café in Barcelona where Pablo Picasso often showcased his work and shared intellectual musings with cats.
Much like the legendary brush wielder, students between the ages of 2–15 expand their creative abilities at 4Cats Art Studio, first discussing famous artists and then using their techniques to create original pieces. Each 60-minute class begins with a history lesson on a famous artist such as Frida Kahlo or Paul Klee, followed by a creative project using the featured artist's techniques. After learning about Frida's life and love of animals, students create their own colourful self-portraits. Likewise, classes on Klee integrate music and colour-mixing techniques to teach students how to truly capture the emotions of a trumpet.
At Urban Links, golfers up their games with hands-on training sessions with certified instructors and access to an indoor facility with the latest in golf training technology. Golfers can cure their slice-, shank-, or narcolepsy-prone swings inside hitting bays that feature TrackMan swing-analysis software, which uses motion sensors and video playback to break down swinging motions. Urban Links' resident aces also enlist TrackMan technology to help players find out the club specifications that best fit their swing and body type. Along with lessons and club-fitting sessions, golfers can take advantage of the equipment and develop secret handshakes with cyborg Greg Normans during independent practice sessions in the hitting bays.

Hey guys Ive got an old pickup I'm trying to get on the road and can't seem to get it to rev up, heres what I've got:
77 dodge 4x4 pickup
-1973 440 out of a motorhome with 75k miles on it.
-Rebuilt Orielys distributor, electronic ignition, alternator & regulator, plugs, wires, coil, cap, and rotor.
-The motor has an edelbrock performer intake on it and headers but basically stock beyond that.
-I've got a 750 manual choke Edelbrock carb on it with a K&N filter and filter lid. The carb was rebuilt 2 weeks ago.
My problem is it starts right up and runs fine until you hit approx. 2,000rpm and the acts like its hitting a rev limiter both in gear and in park. I have no idea whats wrong with it and have heard several different opinions on whats wrong so I figured I'd see what some of you hardcore guys think. I've noticed that the carb makes a really loud sucking noise while idling, I figured it would make some noise but its loud enough it can be heard from 30' away with the hood shut and open headers, not sure if thats an edelbrock thing or what. I've had several people tell me to take that carb off and put a Holley on it but I dont want to fork out $300 for something that I dont know will fix it. I've also been told that it might have bent pushrods or bad valve seats but I figured it would backfire or at least run rough at idle if it had something like that going on. Anyways any input would be appreciated, I'm just at my wits end and am about to just take it to someone and tell them to send me the bill. I hope I gave enough details to the situation. Again thanks guys

Independence Township residents protest natural gas drilling at Bay Court Park WITH VIDEO
Plans for drilling for natural gas have led to protests in Independence Township.
Opponents of the drilling are orchestrating a petition drive to stop the drilling, which they say also involves a practice known as fracking — using pressurized fluid in rock — to release natural gas from underground rock formations.
Opponents recently held a protest and rally at Bay Court Park, off of Andersonville Road in the southwest corner of Independence Township, to draw attention to the issue.
Seventy-five percent of Bay Court Park's mineral rights are owned by the State of Michigan. Currently, the state has leased their mineral rights to Jordan Development Co., LLC, based in Traverse City.
Within the year, Jordan owner and vice president Ben Brower said they are planning to drill a well within a community west of Independence Township.
Although the state has leased Bay Court Park's mineral rights to the company, Brower said there are no plans as of now to begin drilling within the township. Brower said the company may never drill in Independence Township.
"We're drilling in other places first, and if that's successful, maybe we'll come back to Independence Township," Brower said. "The township owns one-quarter of the mineral rights, and we've been talking to them about leasing that percentage."
Brower said the company does not have a right to enter onto the park property. Instead, Jordan Development Co. can pool natural gas from the park by drilling from property adjacent to the park.
Longtime township resident Tim Heming said the residents' concerns about the drilling have not been adequately answered by state officials.
Heming is organizing a petition drive to stop the drilling.
"We're trying to educate the public on just how bad this fracking can be," added Heming, who said there has not been enough consideration given to the potential hazards.
The concerns range from the dumping of toxic chemicals into the groundwater, contamination of local wells and lakes, and the potential of serious disruption from the industrial level of truck traffic that the drilling will create around the 49-acre park.
Brower of Jordan Development Co. argued that there are no plans for fracking within Independence Township. He said the rock within Bay Court Park is carbonate, a kind of porous rock.
"We don't need to frack this reservoir, even though I don't think there's anything wrong with that," Brower said.
"Fracking has to do with shales. Shales, by their very nature, are tight rock. They're not porous, and the only way to get oil and gas out of them is by fracking. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, but in this case, we won't be drilling from shales."
Independence Township Trustee Neil Wallace said the township is actively looking into preventing drilling from occurring. The township attorney is currently reviewing a title search to determine if the mineral rights do, in fact, belong to the state or to the township.
Wallace said the township used a state grant when purchasing Bay Court. Wallace said, as a condition, the state may have received the mineral rights.
"We as a township are actively determining what we are permitted by law to do to make certain our community is protected," Wallace said."I''s an absolute misunderstanding that the township is seeking to have this done. This is something that has been forced upon us."
The park sits in an environmentally sensitive corner of the township where Van Norman Lake flows into Maceday Lake near the headwaters of the Huron River. The mineral rights of 27 acres of the park were put up for auction in early May with the expectation that any royalties from the drilling could be returned to the township. Continued...
The anti-fracking initiative in Independence Township also has joined forces around Michigan. The anti-fracking coalition was organized in November 2011 to educate the public on the need to ban fracking and raise awareness of the dangers of gas drilling to the state's economy, to the environment and to the health and safety of its people, according to the website of the group, "Stop Fracking in Michigan."
Critics note the recent efforts at the state level to regulate fracking are basically controlled by the oil and gas industry, and mineral rights to thousand of acres of state land are being auctioned off right across the state.
Michigan is considered an excellent spot for drilling exploratory and test well because the entire state is thought to sit on a geological formation that is accessible to new drilling techniques.
Fracking, despite the potential dangers to the environment, has a lot of support and momentum behind it because of the potential value of the natural gas deposits at stake and the potential for making the U.S. economy less dependent on more expensive imported energy.
Brower of Jordan Development Company said, "Globally, our country is in need of domestic energy. You've seen gasoline prices go up because we're bringing oil from out of the country. If we can develop our own oil and gas right here in Michigan, that will eliminate our need to bring it from overseas."

I happened to catch a shot of McKinnie toward the end of the game on the field. How much did he play?
I happened to catch a shot of McKinnie toward the end of the game on the field. How much did he play?
I saw that too. I THINK they only brought him in for the jumbo package, but I'm not sure.
he was in on extra points and field goals .......
He was in as an eligible receiver on the jumbo package and when Tyrod Taylor took over.
He didn't play much. They pretty much only seem to use him in the jumbo sets where they flank the tackle with another tackle. That's pretty much his weekly role now...
Oher just gets off the snap so quickly, it "looks like" he's jumping early...
And the holding calls are just because he dominates his assignment so much, they just assume he has to be doing something wrong...
Dude I am not one to comment very often but 1. That was a failed attempt at being funny and 2. A comment that doesnt make much sense unless of course you are talking about a porno or the assumption all black males like the butt fornication?
On the other hand I enjoy your football related comments, so I will give you a pass and chalk it up to too many egg nog drinks? Tis the season.
For those of you who failed to make the connection of my original post, let me break it down for you:
There has never been a player in the NFL who entered the league, before he even took a single snap, with more Hollywood Hooplah, than Michael Oher.
Oher has flamingly failed to live up to all the "Blindside" hype.
The woman connected with all the Blindside Hype was Leigh Anne Tuohy.
My off the cuff remark was that Oher should, essentially, go back to the beginning of all the hype (i.e. Leigh Anne Tuohy) because he's failed miserably to live up to the "Living Legend" that was put in place at the beginning of his non-illustrious career.
and which dot is this?
"I wish he'd just go back to servicing Leigh Anne Tuohy's blind side."
It means: Go back to all the Hollywood Hooplah/Blind Side crap that you used to make your way into the NFL. You haven't begun to live up to the hype, so take the hype, and all your lousy play on the Blindside, and shove it up yer a z z. THAT'S what it means. Oher has crapped the bed as an NFL LT, and all the hype in the world can't cover it.
Oher wouldn't be the first college LT to not make a good NFL LT. It's not his fault we don't have a real LT so he's forced to play in a position he's not all that good at
