This is a picture of my parents with four of their five children, me being the one on the left looking a little dazed. My mom can't understand why I like this picture, hope she doesn't get mad at me for posting it. The reason I love this picture is because it makes me feel normal. This picture depicts real life with small children. My mom looks beautiful to me even though I'm sure she was exhausted ninety five percent of the time, just like I am now.
I want to remember not just the happy moments in child rearing (which are many), but just how truly hard it was/is. With kids ranging in age from 1 1/2 to twelve I am more busy than I have ever been in my whole life. I thought I was busy with one child, even two, but I had no idea just how busy I'd be with five.
I think I have the busiest one year old that has ever existed. He is into everything, no drawer or cupboard is safe. I have a tween that is often moody and has some attitude to go with it.
Real life with five kids means much of the time I can't think straight, especially by the end of the day. Sometimes I feel like I can't breath and I can feel my heart racing. Can you say anxiety and mini panic attacks!?
There is just sooo much that needs to be done each day and even though at the end of each day I'm exhausted I feel like I should have done more. I should have put cute love notes in my kids lunches, given more hugs and kisses, cleaned that dirty toilet, sink, you name it. I should have wiped down the table and counters, but was too tired after making a meal for seven and cleaning it up, and making lunches for school the next day. There will always be things I can do better, things I feel guilty about.
Even though having five kids is a lot of work, more than I could have ever imagined I wouldn't give up one of my kids because I know that God hand picked each of them just for me. He knows them and he knows me and he put us together because I was meant to be their mother. I have something to offer them that only I can and for that I am grateful.

Three men with ties to a Montrose irrigation business were arrested Wednesday night after police seized 700 marijuana plants inside a warehouse in Van Nuys and another 200 at the home of one of the men.
The men — Steve Nemenyi, 47, Glenn Poppler, 42, and Mark Mayer, 46 — were arrested by Glendale police on suspicion of possessing marijuana for sale following the drug bust, which also yielded more than 50 pounds of pot. They were released about 3:50 a.m. Thursday after posting $100,000 bail, police said.
"It was a very sophisticated grow," Police Narcotics Sgt. Luis Pasache said. "Everything was pretty much operated on its own."
Pasache suspected the men were operating out of the warehouse for the last two years, allegedly harvesting marijuana once or twice a month, he added.
The bust came after months of investigation that included surveillance of Green Light Hydroponics on the 2600 block of Honolulu Avenue in Montrose, where Glendale Police Lt. Scott Bickle said investigators also found two pounds of marijuana Wednesday night.

In fragment 252 of a book, Autobiographie, chapitre dix, I wrote the following:
Thus, approaching forty, the age when life becomes as delicate as dew, like a hunter building for himself a hut out of branches for the night, like the aging silkworm spinning its cocoon, I constructed a final shelter for my body. If I compare this dwelling with what was formerly mine, it's truly a very tiny shack. In my declining years, my dwelling shrinks.
My present "house" covers a thirty-one square foot surface and is six feet high. Since I no longer need a stable home, its foundation is simply set on the ground. Thus I could easily move elsewhere if some unpleasantness arose. Presently I have paused in the scrub, near Villerough-la-Crémade: at noon I built a canopy, added a small terrace of reeds and, inside, against the western wall, in a niche I placed the portrait of Kamo no Chõmei, which I shift slightly each day, so that his face is lit by the rays of the setting sun. Above the sliding door, I install a small shelf where I put three volumes of poetry, my notebooks, and a pot of basil.
In the book, the description of the hermit's retreat is protected by two other fragments (notebook "pages," numbers 253 and 254) which are pages of silence, respectively:
page of silence, prose
page of silence, poetry
As a hermit, I place myself under the authority and example of Kamo no Chõmei, the poet-hermit of thirteenth-century Japan. The hut contains his portrait and the description itself is transposed from Chõmei's own hut, site of his own seclusion after the great fire of Kyoto.
This fragment is written in a special style, invented by Chõmei, which he calls "old words in new times."
Like other medieval Japanese poets, Chõmei has left behind his list of styles, the very one I chose to guide my own footsteps through the novel's prose.
Chõmei's choice was not accidental. Before his great "stylistic" decision (to live in seclusion), he was closely connected to a strange poetry enterprise, as secretary of the "poetry office" of Emperor Toba II, he was one of the chief compilers of the Shinkokinshu, the eighth imperial anthology, great "poem of poems" from which I drew one of the most constraint-bound visions for my Project.
Since The Great Fire of London was to be a story of the Project, this explains why I decided that it would be composed as a story in ten styles, in his honor.
The ten styles
(I) The choku tai, the style of "things as they are."
(II) Rakki tai, the style for "mastering demons."
(III) The Kamo no Chõmei style: the "old words in new times."
(IV) The yugen, the "style of twilight."
(V) The yoen, the "style of ethereal charm."
(VI) The awareness of things, the mono no aware.
(VII) Sabi: rust; solitude.
(VIII) The ryohõ tai, "style of the double."
(IX) Ushin: "deep feeling."
(X) Koto shirarubeki yõ, "this should be," muss es sein.
In the course of the preceding chapters (and in this very one here), I've already mentioned some of these styles, the yugen, the rakki tai, the "style of the double" (this indirectly by emphasizing the "double" nature of the photographs entitled Fez, and elsewhere; by double, I mean both an object (of thought, or of prose, or of poetry, or images), and its "style," in this particular sense: it's a double in the "style of the double"). This was to provide a perpetual resource for my novel, a trace of which remains in my present effort.
The interpretation given to these styles, transposed in haphazard fashion from medieval Japan to the nighttime bedroom of a mock hermit in the waning years of the twentieth century, was to be quite obviously an invention, I made a great effort to steep myself in my understanding of these styles (within the narrow limits of poetry, disregarding the religious dimension). I made a particular effort for style (VI), mono no aware, gathering under this title a French recreation of 143 poems selected from the imperial anthologies (this book also contains a selection entitled sabi (style VII)), but I know full well that I am a long way from clearly fathoming the original meaning (which moreover seems rather difficult to grasp nowadays even in Japan, if I can judge by commentators' contradicting interpretations. In addition, each poet seems to have had his own interpretation of the styles, and even his own list: Chõmei's is not Teika's…) Therefore, I had rather blithely and obliviously appropriated this very suggestive division of the ways for approaching a prose-written reality (written in poetry as well, the poetry specific to the project.)
To each branch of The Great Fire of London there was to correspond, not a style, but rather a sort of characteristic "cocktail" of styles, composing a complex stylistic figure, governed by constraints. With this goal in mind I had forged myself a vision of each of the styles, based on the original examples I had been able to collect, but above all (rapidly abandoning this point of departure), based on a meditation focused chiefly on their names. Free to choose, I was able to test the invention of a thing by "deducting" it almost entirely from its name (and from a few elements of a "definite description," like in the already mentioned case of the yugen). The totality of a prose narrative world would thus be divided up into areas dominated by a single style or a combination of styles, like colors.

It's the Must-Have-taken-a-year-to-finish Cardigan!
Here I am, rocking the self-timer on my camera to show you my new sweater. Did you even remember that I was making this? I knit the pieces last winter in Taipei but never got around to finishing it. I have since come to enjoy blocking and have gotten over my fear of seaming, so it was time. High time. Last night I sat down with the blocked pieces and all the supplies and got to seaming and knitting the button band. It took a lot longer than I'd figured it would (I may or may not have been up till four), but I finished all the knitting and sewing last night. This morning I added the buttons -- nice wooden buttons that actually came with the Peace Fleece Everyday Cardigan kit. Et voila!
I'm head over heels in love with this sweater. I'm a big cardigan fan, and I love how this one fits: not tight, not too loose, with longish arms. Here are the specs:
Pattern: Must Have Cardigan, from Patons Street Smart bookletI know I shouldn't be so surprised, since I used the recommended yarn, but my sweater looks exactly like the one in the pattern book! Whee! I'm so pleased with this sweater -- and with the fact that I just went outside without a coat and survived -- that I feel like dancing.
Size: large
Yarn: Patons Classic Wool Merino (colour: Natural Mix)
Needles: various lengths of 5.0mm circulars

my little chickadees
This is a great springtime project I learned about on The Chocolate Muffin Tree. We used cardboard scraps to stamp out the tree branches, potatoes to stamp the chickadees' bodies (you could use ANY color of paint and call them ANY sort of bird!). We used very skinny pieces of cardboard to twist the tails and heads. Afterward, I gave them some Easter grass (LOVE that stuff!) and let them tear it up and make some "leaves" on their trees with it. Of course this could also be used as a nest as she does on the link above. I will post some more student examples once I have my camera back in working order!

What Do Medical Assistants Do?
Medical assistants work alongside doctors and nurses in medical settings such as hospitals, physician clinics and nursing homes, performing administrative duties and minor clinical tasks as needed by the clinical staff and patients.
Some medical assistants have a clerical focus, meaning they carry out mainly administrative tasks, including front-office tasks and non-clinical patient care. These medical assistants do not perform clinical functions, though they generally have some medical training to help them function in the work environment. (See: medical assistant training.)
Other medical assistants have mostly clinical responsibilities, aiding doctors and nurses in the medical treatment of patients. These medical assistants perform only minor tasks, such as dressing wounds, taking vital signs and, in some cases, drawing blood (phlebotomy).
It is also common for medical assistants to perform a combination of clinical and administrative duties, especially in smaller facilities. Here we will look at the two types of medical assisting responsibilities.
Also see:
Administrative Medical Assistants
Administrative (clerical) medical assistants have many of the same job functions as non-medical administrative assistants. They manage the front office, including scheduling, bookkeeping, interacting with patients before and after treatment, and other administrative duties pertaining to health care. These can include:
- Answering phones
- Photocopying documents
- Greeting patients
- Filing paperwork
- Record keeping
- Scheduling appointments
- Billing clients
- Following up after patient treatment
- Ordering medical / office supplies
Some tasks are more specific to the medical field, such as:
- Interpreting and explaining patients' insurance coverage
- Phoning in medical prescriptions
- Arranging for testing with medical specialists
- Handling medical records
The primary aim of these medical assistants is to ensure the front-office functions of a hospital of physician's practice flow smoothly for medical staff as well as patients.
Clinical Medical Assistants
These medical assistants mainly work in the clinical areas of a hospital or physician's practice, helping doctors and nurses with the medical treatment of patients. They carry out small, non-invasive tasks such as:
- Taking patients' blood or urine samples
- Taking vital signs
- Bandaging wounds
- Operating medical machinery such as electrocardiographs (EKGs)
- Removing stitches and sutures
- Sterilizing medical equipment
- Counseling patients on medicines and other health-related topics
- Aiding the physician during medical exams
- Collecting samples for testing
In general, clinical medical assistants ensure the patient's treatment runs smoothly, making the process as efficient and painless as possible for both patient and doctor.
Medical assistants prepare for employment through short training programs geared toward providing the necessary job skills. More information is available at medical assistant training.

A covered call is an options trading strategy where an investor takes a long position in a security and sells call options on that same security to generate investment income. It is a conservative options strategy used to reduce the unlimited risk associated with naked or uncovered calls.
Stock owners are entitled to an assortment of rights, including the right to sell held stock at any time for the associated market price. A covered call is the act of executing this right to another investor for cash. The writer or seller of the covered call sells the buyer of the covered call the right to purchase his shares before the underlying call expires at the predetermined strike price.
For the right to purchase the shares at a predetermined price, the buyer of the covered call pays the seller a premium. The premium is paid for in cash to the writer or seller of the covered call the day the option is sold. A seller of a covered call receives cash the same day in exchange for the underlying security's future upside.
Selling a covered call helps mitigate the risks associated with uncovered calls, while adding immediate cash returns. The sale also caps the writer's investment upside. The seller loses out on potential gains if the underlying security's price rises above the strike price at the time of expiration.

text: Due to my job/living arrangements its kind of hard to get my diet dialed in. I'm living in what can be called a one bedroom shack with a fridge and a microwave, and there isn't enough energy left to power a hot plate or my George foreman. But my blender does work. So I was thinking would this be a good diet idea? I have 4 shakes a day that are made with 3 eggs, 1 cup of milk, 1 scoop of protein and 2 servings of peanut butter and 1 cup of oat powder each. That's roughly 50g protein each. And for lunch I have a steak and egg wrap from starbucks and for dinner I have whatever my GFs family cooks (usually steak or chicken with rice or potatoes or something). Would this be a good long term diet. Right now I'm working on putting on LBM.

Best Service Emotional Cello v1.1 KONTAKT-DISCOVER/SYNTHiC4TE
Emotional Cello is a new kind of virtual instrument, created by Harmonic Subtones to be used with Native Instrument's Kontakt 5 Player. Because of its powerful and simultaneously exceptional emotional sound, it opens up previously unknown verbal dimensions for the work with samples.
Emotional Cello is the perfect instrument for film-scoring, pop-production, song-writing, classic and modern avant-garde cello compositions. This unique virtual instrument shines by its impressive number of articulations, its direct uncolored sound quality, unusual play techniques and innovative rebowing.
Emotional Cello has been continuously recorded in a musical context to capture the natural bowing and the individual expressions of real instrumentalists. Thanks to intelligent scripting, 16 play-styles and true legato, this library offers immense versatile possible applications. Emotional Cello offers all typical play-styles and articulations as well as unusual techniques such as
sul ponticello legato and
flageolet legato,
morbid sustain,
ricochet and even
renaissance sounds.
Harmonic Subtones calls the underlying philosophy of the Emotional Cello project "Contextual Sampling". In search for perfect tone and highest inspiration, various string instruments have been recorded over a period of no less than four years. Conclusion was that nothing can match the natural vibrato with its artistic facets performed by skilled musicians. Although, any sample with an included recorded vibrato has obvious conceptual drawbacks, the sound of the performance itself will be a lot more inspirational than adding artificial vibrato. Based upon this insight, Harmonic Subtones went to extract the recordings with topmost musicality to forge a brilliant sounding instrument.
The result is a library of unmatched authenticity.
To achieve conclusive arrangements. Emotional Cello offers a multitude of articulations. This way, the several phrases, turns, variations, pickups and endings can be used as real autonomous phrasings without the need of ever being repeated. To be able to correctly use the various tones and articulations in a musical context, the corresponding key switches have been appropriately titled with names such as Delicate fast, Vivid or Moderate.
In addition, Emotional Cello also offers unusual and unconventional articulations, almost never to be found in competitive products. For example, the library offers
the so called Spilegno, a harder edged Spiccato with bow-noise,
Power 5th Spiccato,
Plectrum Pizz,
Rota Spiccato
and a lot more.
Added are technical refinements, such as the rebowing-function which allows controlled directional change of the bow within a note using a key switch – uttermost useful with long sustains. Likewise, the vibrato-crossfade allows creating rhythmically perfect transitions from non-vibrato to vibrato-patches.

At IAB Annual Meeting, Talk of New Money for Digital Ads
Speakers from PepsiCo and The Jordan, Edmiston Group described a continued influx of cash - from both brands and investment firms.
Speakers from PepsiCo and The Jordan, Edmiston Group described a continued influx of cash - from both brands and investment firms.
Carlsbad, CA– The still-shaky state of the online ad economy didn't dampen the mood at the IAB's Annual Leadership Meeting Ecosystem 2.0 conference yesterday. Speakers touted the increasing changes wrought by technology on the relationship between brands and consumers, and pointed to ongoing investor support for the space.
During his keynote speech before 650 industry executives at the La Costa Resort & Spa, Frank Cooper, PepsiCo Americas chief consumer engagement officer, suggested that while the advertising industry is in the middle of a brand marketing crisis, digital will be the pathway to better interactions with consumers.
"Consumers' lives, needs and values have evolved but brand marketing has essentially stayed the same," he explained. "The current brand marketing model is failing in its basic mission of adding value to people's lives."
Part of the problem, Cooper added, was that far too many brands end up talking down to their target audience, "instead of pulling people onto the pedestal with us by using technology to facilitate experiences."
PepsiCo has put its marketing dollars where its mouth is, inviting consumers to help create the latest version of Mountain Dew and publicly dropping its perennial slot on the Super Bowl telecast in favor of a digital strategy.
Cooper noted the Super Bowl decision created some consternation, especially among PepsiCo bottlers, but added, "We wanted to build deeper relationships with consumers who love our brands." He said the key to that in 2010 will be the Pepsi Refresh project, which he described as "an online forum where consumers submit ideas on how they want to move the world forward, with the audience voting on the best ideas and PepsiCo agreeing to commit $20 million in funding to make those ideas a reality."
Cooper also urged attendees to embrace technology revolutions. "You need to have an insurgent mindset, even if you're at the top of your game," he said.
Others at the conference took comfort from the uninterrupted flow of investment money to the interactive advertising/media space, even as the overall economy continues to struggle to regain its momentum.
Tolman Geffs, co-president of The Jordan, Edmiston Group, cited numerous deals, including Google's acquisition of the mobile ad firm AdMob last year, as proof that M&A activity in digital media and marketing is beginning to recover after plunging from its highs of a few years ago. "I can tell you that in early 2010 the market is very, very busy with a ton of conversations going on," he added.
Geffs predicted growth in the audience selling market – served by data vendors such as BlueKai – will outpace growth in the site selling market. "Brand advertising is not dead, but it is changing dramatically and one of the ways that it is changing is in the increased use of targeting," he said.
He also predicted more investment interest, noting "There are lots of new acquirers entering the space so we don't need Google and Microsoft to buy everything."
The IAB and American Association of Advertising Agencies (4As) used the summit to announce the finalization of version 3.0 of the 4A's/IAB Standard Terms & Conditions. The two organizations touted this first update to the voluntary standard advertising contract since 2002 as a major step that will streamline the negotiations between buyers and sellers of interactive ads. The document addresses data usage, third party ad serving, editorial adjacencies, and late creative, among other matters.
The IAB also opened a comment period for its Networks & Exchanges Quality Assurance Guidelines, which outline a framework for buying and selling ads in networks and exchanges. The IAB noted these new guidelines will allow for transparency of inventory sources, publisher relationships, content levels and ad placement details.
"Networks and ad exchanges have transformed how advertisers can deliver targeted messaging to consumers and these guidelines further secure the promise of this extraordinary marketing resource," said David Moore, IAB chairman and founder of 24/7 Real Media.

Late Night Fairy Cakes
Half term is at an end and I am still standing, though the same cannot be said for DS who remains dependant upon his crutches. His lack of mobility has meant more teens coming to us as he can't get to them and because he is so fed up, I have turned a deaf ear and a blind eye to the noise and mess which invariably accompanies small groups of large teenage boys and greets me upon my return from work each evening. This is compounded by the array of ' soaking' ( ie. left to stand with a splash of water in the bottom ) baking tins, bowls and utensils used by DD as she provides her brother and his pals with a steady stream of home baked cakes and chocolate brownies. Baking is her new thing and despite the resulting chaos in the kitchen, one I am keen to encourage, being a useful practical skill unlike visiting nightclubs which she has also been doing rather a lot of this week. Thursday night she went to Motion with her usual posse of similarly clad half naked teenage girls prompting me to yet again repeat the parental cliché ' You're not going out in THAT are you? ' as she rolled her eyes and removed money from my wallet in one smooth and practised motion before calling me a few hours later to come and get her as ' I'm not really feeling it tonight '.
I turn out in my pyjamas so I can head straight back to bed on my return, which I do, safe in the knowledge that DD is now tucked up in bed, DS has managed to make it to a sleepover at his friend's house and the day is finally done. Leaving the house for work the next morning I almost trip over the shopping trolley lying on it's side by the bin – ' bloody students ' I think to myself. It is not until Friday night when I am chatting to J and J's mums over a takeaway curry that I discover the trolley was left by J when DD let him and another of DS friends in for a nocturnal plate of fairy cakes as they drunkenly wended their way home, none of which I knew anything about because I was asleep. I inform DD the next day that The Bakery closes once I am in bed and that cake is not the only thing on a teenage boy's mind when he comes a callin' at 2am. She rolls her eyes and delivers a blisteringly nonchalant ' …Whatever..' while deftly removing two pounds from my wallet because ' We've run out of icing sugar '.

Series 12 and 13 new replacement Zenith updraft carburetors.
Designed to replace the original potmetal Stromberg T-2 on all Series 12A and B, and all potmetal T-2, U-2 used to mid production Series 13. After many decades the original potmetal carbs are cracking and becoming unsafe to use as a result of intergranular corrosion. The potmetal used in the 1920's and early 1930's is porous. It is slowly corroding from within and expanding/cracking.
These are new manufacture, diecast updraft carburetors have the correct size venturi and jetting for all Franklin Series 12A, B, and Series 130. Plus a model is available for the larger Series 135/137 engines.
- Bench set and ready to bolt-on updraft that uses all the original hand and foot controls.
- Simple and decades-proven design.
- Original air filter fits right on.
- Adjustable idle speed, idle air/fuel mix, and high speed fuel jet, that work the same as the tuning procedures covered in the Franklin Operator's Manuals.
- Fuel-proof rubber tipped float needle for leak-free sealing when the engine is shutoff.
- Same 1/8 inch pipe thread as original fuel line inlet fitting.
- Vacuum controlled accelerator and power enrichment circuits.
- Dust seals an throttle and choke butterfly shafts.
- Comes with new mounting gasket, nuts, and lock washers.
Note, these are not stationary/industrial engine carburetors, like many that are turning up installed as replacements in the past. With these there is no need to over-adjust the main jet too-rich for cruising conditions so as to compensate for being too-lean during acceleration and hill climbing because previous replacement types lacked those fuel circuits. These are specifically designed and sized with all the correct fuel circuits needed to smoothly handle all Franklin driving conditions with the proper air/fuel ratios.

Mostly complete Franklin engine
Selling mostly complete Franklin engine out of my inventory. Apart.
Engine came with other parts I brought years ago.
Engine parts are:
1. Complete block with crank, cam, and fly wheel installed. Piston journals still wrap as when block return from machine shop. Block # 35-157446
2. Oil pan, rebuilt oil pump, and oil pump tubes/lines included.
3. Both intake and exhaust manifolds included
4. 6 jugs with new heads/rings installed and 6 piston rods included (you will need rod bearings).
5. Rebuilt top valve caps included.
6. Fan hood, fan wheel, front u-tube exhaust, and bottom air hood assembly included/no top air hood
7. Rebuilt oil top and distributor included.
8. You will need a top air hood, gaskets and other parts I can't think of at the moment to have a complete "35" Franklin engine. You will also need a carb, fuel pump, a starter, generator, etc. to complete engine.
This is not a complete engine. Again, missing top air hood and other parts I am not aware of at the moment. I was going to assemble a complete engine, but just too many projects. And as my Franklins are complete with extra parts, I decide to thin out my inventory. Questions are welcome.
Asking $6,000 at Franklin site for everything. Sold as is where is with no written or verbal warranties given. Delivery possible at cost if paid in full first.

Crank Hole Cover.
FOR SALE. I have recently taken a crank hole cover and have had it re-manufactured into a bronze casting with a 3/8"-16 threaded rod on the reverse side. The threaded portion came from the sprue that was formed to get the molten bronze down to the cover area. The casting looks like the dwg. # 45103 from the Franklin Co. library and was cast from an original Franklin crank hole cover. The casting was then painted with a coating of special paint instead of chroming it.
The outline of black that is shown can be applied or the entire casting can be left for the purchaser to get chromed. Cost is $75.00 per cover.

Spark coil and ignition instrument water shield
Spark coil and ignition instrument water shield for the Franklin models ranging from 10A-B to 11A-B. The part number in the catalog is #R-3383. I found, with some research, a small shield piece still intact, plans from the club (thanks to Jeff Hasslen), some patience and help from a good friend of mine. If anybody has an original of these I would be very interested to find out. In any case if there is an interest, I could make a short production. These would range in price around $60 to $80 and would be a great complement to the High Tension Rubber Escutcheons part # R-3409 escutcheon sold by the Club. I will bring some samples to the Trek.

11A chassis number plate reproduction
A 11A plate reproduction. (Sample of the whole and part of the finish art work.) With John Hasslen's support I have enlarged an original plate digitally 100 times, corrected letters and lines before reducing again to true scale. I am ready to undertake a run which will cost US $30 to $40 a plate, holes included on the correct aluminum thickness and finish (mirror). I need a serious show of interest before undertaking, if possible before the Trek.

New, NOS, and Reproduction Parts
REPRODUCED PARTS for a 1929, series 13, 135 sedan.
THROTTLE: Lost wax casting in bronze from original zinc die cast part. Finished and nickel plated; ready to drop in. Excellent fit. $180.00 Plus $10.00 for packing, postage, and insurance.
GRILL CAP: Lost wax casting in bronze from original zinc die cast part. Finished and chrome plated over nickel plating. Note it is the one with the Herringbone decoration around the perimeter and measures 3 1/2" in diameter. Shrinkage is less than 1/16" diameter from the original pot metal piece. Some very, very small pits hardly seen at arms length. Special attention to herringbone detail so to duplicate original as accurately as possible. On underside one can see the original factory number in the fine detail and the stud has been drilled and tapped to 5/16th x 18, square and straight to the piece. $400.00 Plus $10.00 for packing, postage, and insurance.
These prices reflect cost only and no profit is realized. Plaster molds,
rubber molds, casting, finishing to auto quality plating adds up fast,
but I was very pleased with the results. These parts will be at the 2008 Trek

Oil Filter
New manufacture oil filter from Roberts Motor Parts, part number T45. While they are not the long canister type that was used originally, these are the same 4-1/8 inch outside diameter as fits the original oil filter brackets, with 1/8 national pipe thread on each end marked "in" and "out". 5-7/8 inch long overall. Some black paint and a repro Purolater decal from the California Classic Car Club guys and it's close. For those who don't know, they are the same people we get the brake hoses from (for 28-34 Franklins use number T52A, see below for picture of the hose).

Brake Line
As has been said many times in the past and bears repeating here... "refrigeration copper tubing" should NOT be used in brake systems. It is NOT meant to take the working pressures of even an old low pressure brake system like Franklins have. Refrigeration copper tubing is TOO SOFT for that application. The burst strength of soft copper is too close to the maximum working pressures that a Franklin brake system can generate. This tubing I am listing is about 8 times stronger than the same sized tubing in soft copper. It matches the original copper used on Franklin hydraulic brake systems in that it is designed, tested and rated for use in modern brake systems. Well above what a Franklin brake system has to deal with and like originally intended by Franklin, has the added benefit of no worries about corrosion.
This material is very nice to work with and with a simple flaring tool, is easy to duplicate the single flair connections that Franklin used. It is also easy to form to fit into the chassis.
There are two companies that sell the tubing:
Automec Equipment and Parts Limited
36 Ballmoor
Buckingham Industrial Park,
Buckingham, MK18 1RQ
Phone: 01280 822818 or 823117
Fax: 01280 823140
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
The Automec people are very nice to deal with. E-mailed questions were answered very promptly. Fast, courteous service. They also carry all the tools necessary for forming and installing tubing for just about any type of application, all of which can be seen on their website listed above.
The tubing comes in 25 foot rolls. All years of Franklins will use almost all of a 25 foot roll of 1/4 inch tubing. Order number for the 1/4 inch od tubing is, HCP014. The 5/16 inch od tubing that is needed for the cross over line from the master cylinder to the tee fitting on the passenger side of the chassis, and the reservoir line on '30 and later cars is, HCP516. Only three feet of the 5/16 is needed for '28 and '29. 1930 and later cars need two, three foot pieces (6 feet total) of the 5/16. One for the cross over line and one to the brake fluid reservoir can on the firewall.
Update: November 18, 2010
This tubing along with a wide assortment of fittings is now available in the USA at:
Federal Hill Trading Company
195 Federal Hill Road
Oxford, MA 01540-1303
Tel: 508-987-2660
They do not have a store front and deal mainly by phone or Internet. They have a very good web site that list all the products they carry as well as answers to technical information. Federal Hill carries partial rolls of tubing so you do not have to buy a 25' roll if you do not need it.

Spark Plugs
The 1928 12A has a 7/8" thread and uses a Champion W18 spark plug. The numbers recently changed and I think the new number is 518, but you should ask for the W18 first. Franklin switched to an 18mm threaded plug for the 12B. This uses a champion D16, or current number is 516. I have seen a couple 12-As with Series 130 cylinders, so make certain yours has the original large plug in it. Most good-sized auto parts stores stock the plugs. If they don't have them in stock, they can surely order them.
Series 14 Distributors
Series 14 and Chev Distributors AT THE "BIG A" CHAIN OF PARTS HOUSE, WHICH SELL STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS. CONDENSER = 32 - 821, ROTOR = 34 - 13, POINTS = 31 - 30, CAP = 33 - 22. Don't worry about the different Chev. distributor model numbers - they all use the same points, condenser, cap and rotor and will fit your Series 14. Just tell your parts house you want the parts for a '57 Chev, and you'll get the right stuff.
Data Plates
Bill Williams makes data plates and has made some for Franklin. I've only purchased the new crankhole covers from him (which double as V/12 valve cover medallions). Also has Delco starter & generator tags.
Bill Williams
So. Cal region of the CCCA has lots of plates as well, including pre 1912 Franklin plates, but none later. Also has Delco starter & generator tags.

Air Filters
Having recently had the top end of my engine rebuilt, it was pointed out to me that I needed to get a "real" air filter to protect the rings. My research into a filter that would fit for "drivers" of their cars identified a K&N manufactured filter that will fit the neck of the U-3 Stromberg carburetor on cross-draft engines. The filters were developed for off-road racing and are well known in street rod circles. It is expensive (relatively) but is a permanent type that can be washed out and reused. The manufacturer's number is RU - 3560 and it is sold in NAPA parts stores.
Stoplight switch replacement for 1932 Airman
Stoplight switch replacement on my '32 Airman that works is NAPA ECHLIN SL113. Replacement needed because old one left stoplights on all the time. Magic word to NAPA counterman was "Chrysler" although "Franklin" was used.
Gear Oil
New Holland Industrial Equipment sells an EP Gear Grease part #9821006 that is equal to the 600 W Gear oil used in most older cars and trucks. The best way is to get on the internet and type in New Holland Industrial Equipment then click on Search. This will bring up their web page and tell you of a dealer nearest you.
Another supplier of reproduction parts for Franklins, they reproduce many of the wiring harnesses and carry additional wiring supplies used in Franklins. They also have the measurements to add the accessory right tail light to the harness for 1930 and 1931.

I am doing at least one of the 3 Art in the Round shows in Beaverton, OR this year. They only have 8 or 10 vendors at each one. They have live music and it is by a fountain and a really nice evening out in a very intimate atmosphere. I was hoping to get one later in the summer, more time to prepare. Of course, they want me at the first one, the last Tuesday in June. Yipe. I have a lot to do. I am almost out of earrings. I need to make a lot of earrings and a few more elaborate necklaces. I have plenty of bracelets, those things just don't sell much. But I definitely need to make more earrings. I am really happy and excited to do the event. I love community events and this one is in such a nice location, with good restaurants, and the Mayor is even doing a walking tour from the library to the event with anyone who wants to join him! Yay for the Beaverton Arts Commission!
And more straws. I got some colored glass today. Soon I will have amber and lavender glass straws. Woo.
Derek is growing fast. He is so close to being potty trained. He poops on the potty all the time and if I leave him bare booty naked he pees on the potty most of the time with very few accidents.
He and I had a real water fight yesterday. He was throwing the water at me, and me back at him, and we were both in hysterical laughter. It was so much fun.
I am feeling much better about the only child thing. I was having very, very small doubts, but I know this is right for all 3 of us. We all win. What I have to do is to work hard on giving him plenty of opportunities to make friends, and work to get him to know the family he has. We don't have tons of cousins for him, but they exist. Extra effort needs to be made that he knows them, enjoys them, and considers them siblings as best he can. That is what I have with my cousin, who is also an only, and it has worked out great. It's very important he has at least one person he can share his childhood history with.

Let me preface this post by saying I have thrown down an unspeakable about of money for throw pillows. I prefer couches to be custom and shoes to be Prada. That being said, I realize sometimes we need to pare down our expectations to fit our budgets.
I firmly believe that style is everywhere and accessible to everyone at every price point so I'm certainly not ashamed to suggest Ikea to my clients for certain kid friendly projects or… use in my own home, for that matter.
I hit Ikea a few weeks ago and here is a list of my loot and a few of my all time favorite Ikea purchases…
3. L e t t e r ART.
4. I don't love all the Ikea throws but this white and black stripe "chic" beauty feels and looks wonderful. I bought 4 as hostess gifts for the future.
5. The mother of all salad bowls. I have 2… 1 for me and 1 for my sister when we're in the kitchen together. Whether tossing a pasta salad for a BBQ or carefully mixing the secret Thanksgiving stuffing recipe this bowl is always our "go to."

Weekly wire: The global forum
These are some of the views and reports relevant to our readers that caught our attention this week.
Measure it to improve it: How benchmarking government capability for PPPs can help improve infrastructure delivery
It's widely acknowledged that how well governments prepare, procure and implement public-private partnership (PPP) projects is important both in bringing in private finance and/or expertise and ensuring these projects deliver value-for-money.
However, up until now there has been no systematic data to measure those capabilities in governments. This has changed with the release of the World Bank Group's Benchmarking PPP Procurement 2017, which collects and presents comparable and actionable data on PPP procurement on a large scale by providing an assessment of the regulatory frameworks that govern PPP procurement across 82 economies. It presents an analysis of practices in four areas: preparation, procurement, contract management of PPPs, and management of unsolicited proposals (USPs). Using a highway transport project as a case study to ensure cross-comparability, it analyzes the national regulatory frameworks and presents a picture of the procurement landscape at the end of March 2016 by scoring each of the four areas.

But I know this wasn't always the case.
Understand the differences, act on the commonalities in a globalized economy: How can Public-Private Dialogue be of help?
The Mongolian government's economic advisors. Photo by Steve Utterwulghe
Misunderstanding, distrust, lack of genuine consultation. These are some of the words that I hear the most from various public and private stakeholders during my regular missions to developing countries.
From Bamako to Ulan Bator, where I am writing this post, the relentless echo of grievances points to the fact that the government doesn't understand – or want to listen to – the private sector, and therefore doesn't trust it. And likewise, the private sector sees public authorities as often incompetent, corrupt and an impediment to competitiveness and wealth creation.
While generalizing is a dubious exercise, the similarity and recurrence of complaints across the globe warrants deeper digging.
The issue of trust in policymaking is a complex field of study. The origin of mistrust of the private sector by the government in many developing countries is embedded in the socio-political culture and economic history of the state.
That being said, it is now rare to find a government that categorically denies the contribution of the private sector to the economic development of a nation. About 90 percent of the jobs are created by the private sector in the developing world, and about 50 percent of those are created by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Furthermore, as José Juan Ruiz from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has written, "Policymakers realize that they need to access the deep knowledge held by the private sector in order to learn about market failure and formulate the right policies to address them."
On the other hand, the private sector wants a stable and transparent regulatory environment in which to operate. It doesn't want more regulations, but better regulations that will protect its investments. For that, it needs the government to listen and act in a way that will create an enabling business environment. Building trust is hard work.
Differences between public and private stakeholders certainly exist, but so do commonalities. It never takes long for parties to acknowledge that there is a clear common ground to strive for: sustainable economic development that should lead to inclusive growth. That, in turn, will spur job creation and revenue collection for the state. That's an irrefutable win-win scenario.
Tips for reporting on early development: Find the children behind the data
Global experts report that a child's early years are critical to the rest of life. Proper nutrition and brain stimulation improve physical growth and learning ability, while the absence of proper care and feeding in the first 1,000 days can lead to stunting, poor school performance and lower earnings as an adult.
How best can we support Egypt's next generation back at school?
Back to school—back to the twin feelings of hope and fear. As the new school year begins, it brings hope for a better future for our children, and fears over what schools really offer them in terms of learning. Current statistics indicate that 50% of students with five years of schooling in Egypt cannot read or write, and 40% cannot do simple mathematics.
Campaign Art: End the Silence
People, Spaces, Deliberation bloggers present exceptional campaign art from all over the world. These examples are meant to inspire.
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Violence against women is a major hurdle to development, and unless its root causes are addressed, many of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) will not be met. It's an issue that stains the futures of millions of women and girls, every day, all over the world.
In a 2005 report, the World Health Organization stated that violence against women is a major threat to social and economic development. It has been linked to poverty, lack of education, gender inequality, child mortality and maternal illness. An unprecedented number of countries have laws against domestic violence, sexual assault and other forms of violence. Challenges remain however in implementing these laws, limiting women and girls' access to safety and justice. Not enough is done to prevent violence, and when it does occur, it often goes unpunished.
Up to 7 in 10 women report having been physically or sexually abused at some point in their lifetime. Up to 50 per cent of sexual assaults are committed against girls under the age of 16. One in four women experiences physical or sexual violence during pregnancy.
Those are grim numbers and part of the problem is that violence against women is simply not recognized.
So how can we tackle this global issue? One way is by bringing more awareness to it.
Preparing for the Future: Coordinating Syrian refugees and the diaspora
I have been looking for possible sources of investment and possible markets that would help both Syrian refugees and their host communities, and, as someone who has worked on the subject of the private sector for two decades now, one of my first questions is—"what role can the diaspora play?"
It's time to transform Africa through Climate Smart Agriculture
Climate change and food insecurity could shape Africa's future.
I already see evidence of this during my travels across Sub-Saharan Africa, where high levels of poverty, highly variable and unpredictable weather, limited livelihood options, weak infrastructure, insufficient access to productive resources, and scarce safety nets all combine to make Africans even more vulnerable to climate risks.

The Alberta Energy and Utilities Board (EUB) has granted Montana Alberta Tie Ltd. a permit to construct and license to operate a 346 kilometer, 230 kV alternating current international power line (IPL) from the County of Lethbridge, Alberta, to a substation near Great Falls, Mont.
The EUB concluded that MATL has met all the conditions set out in a January Decision Report 2008-006 that granted conditional approval of the IPL. This most recent EUB approval is the final major Canadian regulatory requirement for the transmission line. MATL says a joint Montana Department of Environmental Quality and U.S. Department of Energy final environmental impact assessment is expected to be released later this summer, clearing the way for the issue of final permits approving construction and operation of the MATL line in Montana.
The IPL will link the Alberta and Montana power grids to help make the systems more stable, and MATL says Montana-based wind farms have purchased all of the capacity on the line with plans to export power to the Alberta market.

|A slightly modified graphic from ' Prophecy News Watch '.
" Where is the United States in Bible Prophecy?
One of the most common questions regarding Bible prophecy is where is the United States in scripture? Many nations of the world are not mentioned in scripture, however it is hard to understand how the world's most powerful nation would not be. At least not in a way that we recognize it clearly.
There are many theories and ideas as to why this is but here are three of the most common:
- The United States is no longer relevant
- The United States is destroyed
- The United States is no longer its own country - but part of a larger union of nations - possibly controlled by the Antichrist.
All of these responses are based on speculation. We simply do not know the answer but it is very possible there may be some symbolism that the United States may fit into. We must simply watch and wait to see what God's plan for America is. "
- A Direct Quotation, from Prophecy News Watch - one of many Highly-Ranked Online Information Sources.Now, I didn't post this particular quotation just: " To Pick On " - the well-ranked content providers at Prophecy News Watch... because, Prophecy News Watch is actually quite typical of All My Online Informational Competitors.... Just like The Scripture says, in Isaiah 8:20, " They have nothing at all to offer you! " The Exact Scriptural Quotation:
" To The Law and To The Testimony! If they do not speak according to This Word, it is because There Is No Light In Them. " - Isaiah 8:20.
|A comparison with America In Prophecy.
Meanwhile, America In Prophecy fully realizes that: " The Law has always included Grace within the very heart of it [ *** SEE: Exodus 20:6 ] ", and that: " The Rapture is a wholly non-scriptural concept [ ***SEE: Jeremiah 31:2 ] ". Then just consider what the scripture says, only two verses above that last referenced verse:
" In The Latter Days you will consider it. " - Jeremiah 30:24.- and, the one directly above it:
" At The Same Time.... " - Jeremiah 31:1.- You see, folks, Jeremiah Chapters 30 and 31 are talking about ' The Very Same End Time Events '. The very same: " Latter Day Events "... that, all of us are going to experience equally together!
While the teachings at America In Prophecy may be very difficult for many of us to readily accept, they are in fact ' The Truth ' - from Yahweh's Scriptures. I absolutely refuse to prophesy either: " Those Smooth Things ", or: " A False Message Of Peace And Safety " - like my [ oh, so numerous ] competitors... since, that isn't Yahweh's True Words.
|Another comparison with America In Prophecy.
Our Own Personal Disclaimer:
" Meanwhile, All Of These Questions are just based upon speculation. We simply do not know The Answer; but it is very possible that Prophecy News Watch is just working for the other side - unknowingly to themselves. We must simply watch and wait to see what Yahweh's own plan for: Prophecy News Watch, and Those Other Scriptural Based Information Sources actually is.... "
The Real Problem being faced, by All Of Our So-Called Competitors, is that none of them ' Truly Understand The Scriptures '. One cannot: " Watch For Prophecy In The News " - until you, also: " Understand The Prophecies Themselves! " You see, one must ' Absolutely ' follow the other.... In the meantime, however, we'll continue to pray for their Own Personal Enlightenment!
Meanwhile, America In Prophecy Offers You This:
- The Complete and Up To Date Prophetic Time Line.
- The 2011 Prophesies - Specifically Occurring Today.
- What's Coming Next - Within Our Immediate Future.
- And Other Related End Time Messages.
I hope, that you thoroughly enjoyed The Review.

May Yahweh's: Love and Peace - be upon you!

Ann Arbor, MI — May 12, 2015 — The University of Michigan School of Dentistry is ranked as the top dental school in the U.S. and the fourth in the world, according to a new survey of institutions of higher learning.
"It is an honor to be part of this world-class faculty," said Dr. Renée E. Duff, assistant dean for student services, "and a privilege to teach, year after year, exceptional individuals who represent the brightest and best from Michigan and around the world."
QS World University Rankings, an annual publication of British Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) Company, has been publishing university rankings since 2010. The U-M School of Dentistry ranked 4th with a score of 87.6 in the 2015 QS survey. A complete list of the top 50 dental schools in the world can be found on the QS World University Rankings website.
"The School of Dentistry is proud of its reputation for innovation and excellence in advancing health through education, service, research and discovery," said Dr. Laurie McCauley, dean of the School of Dentistry.
Rankings are based on academic peer review (40%), faculty/student ratios (20%), faculty citations in research publications (20%), employer reputation (10%), international student ratio to measure the diversity of the student community (5%), and international staff ratio to measure the diversity of the academic staff (5%).

The early days of Warhammer 40,000 were characterised by a more "anything goes" attitude in which fantasy, sci-fi and wargaming tropes were gleefully blended to produce a setting equal parts brutal and goofy. Examples of this mixture that haven't survived into the present version include these Imperial Guard minotaurs (images swiped from the Collecting Citadel Miniatures wiki).
I love that the top one is carrying the stock heavy bolter of the era -- it also turns up in the Space Ork set -- and that the bottom one has las-horns.
(There were also both minotaur and trolls in Epic, which seems bizarre because there was no corresponding fantasy version for them to be repurposed from.)
Today, rarities like the Rogue Trader minotaur go for high prices on the secondary market. There are also modern third-party versions like this very cool sci-fi minotaur sculpted by Diego "Obscure Creator" Serrate.

As for me, however, I have gone the el cheapo route. Browsing my local pound shop, as I do, I saw a pack of "Huntik" figures including this Megataur.
Most of the models were not in a useful scale, though some may still end up being repurposed. But the megataur had potential.
I cleaned him up a bit with the old x-acto, stuck a surplus Ork gun on him, sprayed on a coat of black primer and painted him in a style that hearkens back to my older method: heavy black lining and soft, fuzzy highlights. I think of it as my Fleischer Brothers look. I was actually very happy with the way the horns fade slowly from a darker brown at the roots to almost pure white at the points, but it isn't really visible in the photo.
Anyway, here he is, with an RT marine and Gretchin for scale. He could have used a little more detailing and maybe something to make the horns pop, he isn't the equal of some of those lovely models -- he looks like a toy, which is what he is -- and he's a little bit on the huge side, but for a quid he'll make a fine Chaos Ogryn henchman for a baddie in a future game.

Thanks to Flickr for Featuring Me and My Photography on the Flickr Blog
Thanks so much to Yahoo and Flickr for featuring me and my photography today on the Flickr blog and the Weekly Flickr. I joined Flickr back the year that they started in 2004 and publish photos there every single day. It's been a wonderful place to build my library and archive and publish my photography. I thought they did a really nice professional job with this video. Thanks!

Here's what our garden looks like these days. Some notes:
- Lots of calendula flowers. There were lots of self-seeded volunteer calendula sprouts since we didn't dead head that much.
- Lots of volunteer sunflowers as well. We kept two, one of which is the tallest plant in the whole community garden!
- Our onions (from sets planted in spring) seem to be doing really well. They all bloomed, which is less desirable since it makes the onions worse for storing. The flowers taste pretty good though.
- The sage and oregano are both doing really well.
- We are continually harvesting lots of lettuce and arugula.
- The chamomile is recovering quite nicely.
- Tomatoes are doing better after feeding them Foxfarm "Grow Big."
- Peas are doing well. Not really climbing their structure as much as we'd hoped. We cut them back a bit to make room for beans.
- We've been letting purslane grow as a live mulch and beneficial companion plant.

Hi there LIMettes it's time for our weekly ShowCASe post.
You certainly rocked our Red and Green colour challenge and the gallery was bursting with exciting and vibrant inspiration.
You make it so hard for us to select our favourites, but we try!
Here we go, in order of entry and we hope you agree with our ShowCASe choices too!
Marina's #elfies-card gave us a real giggle! The red frame makes the cute elf pop from the
card base brilliantly so this is not only a fun design, it's very clever too!
Maaike used our colour combo in a very subtle way -we love her layered die cut and
all that wonderful white space!
Anita's Christmas stockings are coloured to perfection, we love the way she doodled with white gel pen on top of her marker colouring. A perfect CAS card but with so much detail and interest!
Congratulations ladies and please help yourself to a ShowCASe badge from the page at the top of the blog with our thanks. We hope you'll display it proudly on your individual blogs.
We're sure you'll agree these are a wonderful bunch and worthy of our ShowCASe badge. Do pop along and congratulate them on their win if you have a minute.
We'll also be showCASing all of our winners' cards on our Facebook page so why not hop on over and give us a 'thumbs up'! Here's the link you need to take you there.
As always there's still time to enter our current challenge which ends at 10pm GMT this evening before we announce the new one at 8am GMT tomorrow morning.
