Leading Some Headlights - Leading The WayWritten by on December 18, 2007 Frenching Headlights The Traditional Way
When it comes to traditional custom techniques, the use of lead is right there at the forefront. Way before plastic body fillers were available, lead was the medium of choice, used by the OEM factories to smooth seamed joints, and copied-and taken several steps further-by the pioneers of the kustom movement. Pioneers like Sam and George at Barris Kustom, Bill Hines, and their contemporaries.
But leading is becoming a lost art, despite the resurgence in popularity of all things kustom. Not in Brad Masterson's world though. At just 29 years old, he's fortunate enough to have worked for both Barris and Hines-in fact he still does work for the latter-and all the kustoms that roll out of his own "after school" shop are traditionally styled and created. Sure, plastic filler has its place, but the majority of the work is handled the traditional way-with a torch and lead paddles.
The process isn't as hard as you'd imagine either, though it obviously takes a lot of practice, but then show us something worthwhile that doesn't! Check out the steps involved as we followed Brad through frenching and leading the headlights on a shoebox Ford. The good old days are happening right now.
Stay Safe!
Exposure to lead presents a minimal hazard, but it should be respected nevertheless. It can affect the blood, kidneys, nervous, and reproductive systems, so handling it, melting it, and filing it should be tackled with care. Lead can enter the body through inhalation or ingestion, so take care to wash your hands after handling it, and take precautions, preferably using respiratory equipment, so as not to breathe the fumes while melting lead.

We'll assume you know how to remove a headlight from the fender (if not, remove the screw holding the trim ring on and then remove the four screws holding the headlight bucket to the fender).The lip is trimmed from the headlight bucket, as well as the removal of the bracket to which the trim ring screws. This enables the bucket to sit flush against the rear of the opening.Using a soft pad on a grinder, Brad grinds the primer from the area he will be welding to. He also did likewise on the headlight ring, which is then positioned and marked to ensure both sides were similar.The fender area is slowly heated along with the end of a stick of lead as it is applied to the fender. It's important to not overheat the area and cause the metal to warp.Brad welds the new ring to the fender. "Old school" is a very overused term, but it aptly describes Brad's methods, as he gas welds. He doesn't possess a MIG welder.Brad fires up the torch and heats the metal with a soft flame (you don't want it too hot), applying tinning flux with an acid brush to give the lead a good base to adhere to.
The majority of the lead is then wiped off with a rag and allowed to drop to the floor, leaving the area suitably tinned. Brad repeats this process around the headlight ring.Using a little heat from the torch to keep the lead in a semi-molten state, Brad works it with a wooden paddle.He continues to build the lead up to the desired thickness and contour. You can see it's getting smoother compared to the previous picture.As Brad works his way down the side of the fender, we get a good look at how the lead was built up on the crown.With the tinning done, he again warms the fender and the end of a lead stick and applies it to the work area.Using a smaller paddle, Brad works the tighter curve between the light and the hood opening. You can also see how he keeps the lead sticks close to hand, as it's surprising how quickly they are used up.With the leading complete, the vast improvement over stock can already be seen. Breaking out the body files, the lead takes shape.A 50/50 mix solution of lacquer thinner and wax and grease remover with a splash of acetone (what's this, a cocktail menu?) is brushed on to remove any traces of the acid, then again wiped with a clean rag.
With the sanding done, Brad uses steel wool to thoroughly clean the area with metal prep, an acid that etches into the surface.Spot the difference! The frenched version appears sleeker and more modern, which was the whole point of such an exercise back in the day, and still holds true today.You're not going to get very far working with lead without an oxyacetylene torch and bottles, and a set of paddles.

Ok, Lets say I have two point light sources A and B. Each light source has a power Pa and Pb, and is distance Da and Db away from a point P on a plane.
I can calculate the amount of luminosity at point P from light A using the inverse square law. Likewise, I can calculate the luminosity from light B.
What I am trying to do is calculate the luminosity at point P from light A and B combined. I am not sure how to combine the luminosity from two disparate light sources.

Strategies for improving solubility
Both physical and chemical methods can be used to improve drug solubility, Chemical methods to improve solubility include developing more soluble prodrugs or improving solubility through salt formation. Physical methods include micronization or nanosizing, producing a polymorph, changing the crystal habit, complexation, solubilization through self-microemulsifying drug-delivery systems, and solid dispersions (1).The terms solid solution and solid dispersion define related compositions in which at least one active ingredient is dispersed in an inert matrix. In solid dispersions, separate regions of drug and polymer exist throughout the matrix, and the drug may be crystalline or be rendered in its amorphous state. A special subset of solid dispersions, solid solutions, refers to the case in which drug–polymer miscibility is attained at the molecular level, and the drug exists in its amorphous form. Pharmaceutical polymers are used to create this matrix. Polymer selection is based on many factors, including physicochemical (e.g., drug–polymer miscibility and stability) and pharmacokinetic (e.g., rate of absorption) constraints (1, 2).
Solid dispersions may be made through mechanical activation (i.e., cogrinding), coprecipitation, freeze drying, spray drying, melt extrusion, and KinetiSol technology (DisperSol Technologies), a fusion-processing technology. The solid-dispersion components consist of the API, the polymer, plasticizers, stabilizers, and other agents. Various polymers may be used in solid dispersions. These include methylacrylate polymers, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, copovidone, poly-(ethylene-vinylacetate-vinylcaprolatam), and cellulose derivatives (e.g., hypromellose acetate succinate, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, and methyl cellulose) (1).

Taft girls basketball zoning in on success
When Taft girls basketball coach Jon Willson closely looked at his roster in the preseason, he knew a change was definitely in order.
"I've always been a man-to-man defensive guy, but we had to change to a matchup zone for the very first time," noted Willson. "We have been playing against a lot of quick point guards this year. We are big and athletic, but didn't have enough speed and quickness to stay with them."
Unfortunately, the switch didn't bring results right away.
"We were exposed in a few games early on and it took a while for everyone to learn the system," Willson said.
After a 2-7 start, the Rhinos on a roll, winning five straight games to even their record at 7-7.
And they've had to do it without senior Katie Harpin of Wolcott. Harpin sustained a season-ending knee injury in early January.
Helping Taft during this recent surge has been the play of Willson's other two captains, guard Morgan Manz of Southbury and point guard Maggie O'Neil of Woodbury.
Manz, headed to play basketball at Quinnipiac University, has recorded double digits in scoring and rebounding in four straight games.
"Morgan is the most unselfish scorer I've ever coached," said Willson. "She definitely can score. When Katie went down, we needed everyone to step up their game and they have. It's been great to watch."
Manz had been handling the ball but Willson decided to give the point guard responsibilities to O'Neil, the most versatile player on the roster and a four-year starter.
"That has taken some of the pressure off Morgan," said Willson. "Maggie is the type of player who brings so much to the team. She will run through brick wall for you. She gives 100 percent every second that she is out there. She plays fantastic defense, especially off the ball and just hustles all of the time."
O'Neil, also a captain in field hockey and outdoor track, is headed to play basketball at Swarthmore (Pa.) College.
On the boys side, the Taft School boys basketball team is having a terrific season with a 12-4 record.
The Rhinos have won four of their last five to improve to 12-4.
Schedule updates: The Southern Connecticut Conference wrestling championship scheduled for today has been rescheduled for Wednesday at 4 p.m. at Shelton High.
There is a format change with the top eight wrestlers in each weight class competing. Weigh-ins will start at 2:45 p.m. The championship round will begin at approximately at 7:15 p.m. The championship round will be broadcast on internet radio at www.sportingnewsct.com.
The SCC gymnastics championship meet slated for Monday has been moved to Wednesday at 5 p.m. at Jonathan Law in Milford.
Ellis update: Former Sacred Heart High and Gunnery wide receiver D.J. Ellis will be playing football at Division II Merrimack College.
Limited to just five games at the Gunnery because of a knee injury, Ellis still put up terrific numbers with 35 receptions for 607 yards and 12 touchdowns. His best game came against Tabor Academy when he caught four passes for 166 yards and three TDs.
Indoor track update: Due to the massive amounts of snow from Friday's storm, the CIAC made the following adjustments to the indoor track schedule:
The Class LL meet will not be held today, but instead on Wednesday at 4 p.m.
The Class S meet will be Monday at 4, and the Class L meet will be Tuesday at 4.
The State Open, which had been scheduled for Saturday, will now be held on Tuesday, Feb. 19 at 4.
All events will be held at the Floyd Little Athletic Center in New Haven.

Are handwritten stenography systems (such as Gregg shorthand and Pitman shorthand) still useful today for personal productivity? If so, how can they be incorporated into daily life in a digital age?
If you know it already, it's certainly useful. You can get your thoughts to paper faster and more clearly than if you have to write out each letter, abbreviate, or omit words.
As for whether or not to learn it, it may be better than voice recognition for a long time, but it's a risk/reward analysis whether it will pay off for your particular circumstances (whether you can use tech everywhere or not, etc.)
Stenography is much faster than typing. This can be extremely important when you talking to somebody who is not going to repeat anything he said (maybe your boss or high-class client). But if you do not know it, you should think about time you will spend to learn it. May be it is not worth to learn for you.
The merits of stenography incorporated in personal productivity could be compared to the benefits of note taking. When you condense the content not only did you summarize the memory load or list, you'll remember it longer since you wrote it down by hand rather than depending on only one sense e.g. hearing or reading. One proverb stands, "The weakest ink is better than the strongest memory." This refers not only to the ever lasting record but also the recording act itself. Also, my psychology professor once said that our brains hate mundane repetition and thus if we make the material we need to learn into something interesting (like into a puzzle, or a visual cue, silly mnemonics, or shorthand to decode, etc) we improve the process's efficiency and most likely the productivity.

Hello Dan/Clint,
I think there is a link missing: "Azure Management Portal", between 8'23" (IE9 RTW) and 9'39" NuGet Action Plan.
Great show! Thank you.
Is the HTML5 validation in VS2010 SP1? ( http://blogs.msdn.com/b/webdevtools/archive/2011/01/27/html5-amp-css3-in-visual-studio-2010-sp1.aspx )
If yes is there SP1 for Express? (otherwise I don't care)
while the roach thing is very cool i cant help wondering it it hurts the roaches.. are they just running from the electical shock? i mean in that case its the same tech as a electro chock dog collar that would probably work on humans too
@joaoalbuquerque: Thanks for the heads up, fixed
@aL_. my thoughts exactly.

Alternative medicine describes practices used in place of conventional medical treatments. Complementary medicine describes practices used in conjunction and cooperation with conventional medicine, to assist the existing process. The term complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is an umbrella term for both branches. CAM includes practices that incorporate spiritual, metaphysical, or religious underpinnings; non-European medical traditions, or newly developed approaches to healing.
Homeopathy attempts to treat the sick with extremely diluted agents that, in undiluted doses, produce similar symptoms in the healthy. However, processes use cause the dose to be exactly zero in most cases: Its adherents and practitioners assert that the therapeutic potency of a remedy can be increased by serial dilution of the drug, combined with succussion, or vigorous shaking. This is, however, not supported by chemistry or physics. Homeopathy regards diseases as morbid derangements of the organism,[4] and states that instances of disease in different people differ fundamentally.[5] Homeopathy views a sick person as having a dynamic disturbance in a hypothetical "vital force", a disturbance which, homeopaths claim, underlies standard medical diagnoses of named diseases.[6]
Scientists describe homeopathy as pseudoscience [7] and quackery.[8] The theory that extreme dilution makes drugs more powerful by enhancing their "spirit-like medicinal powers"[9] is inconsistent with the laws of chemistry and physics. Placebo-controlled clinical trials have given mixed results, but most have methodological problems, with better-quality trials (e.g. those more likely to use double-blind techniques) more likely to give negative results.[10] Additionally, cases have been reported of life-threatening complications resulting from attempts to treat serious conditions solely with homeopathic remedies.[11][12]

WEIRTON - Weirton Council isn't ready to do away with the city's primary election, despite poor voter participation.
At Monday's meeting, council voted 6-1 against eliminating the primary, though proposals to consolidate polling places and consider piggybacking city elections with county and state voting schedules passed on first reading.
The changes were recommended by a specially appointed committee that looked at ways the city could boost efficiency and reduce election costs, though several council members took issue with that characterization.

DISCUSS PURCHASE OF TABLET COMPUTERS — Weirton Ward 6 Councilman David Dalrymple, third from left, discussed his concerns with a proposal to purchase tablet computers for council when city workers are using outdated technology to conduct everyday business while Ward 2 Councilman Chuck Wright, Mayor George Kondik, Ward 7 Councilman Terry Weigel and Ward 5 Councilman George Gaughenbaugh listened at Monday's meeting. -- Linda Harris
"You don't mess with the democratic process just to save a buck," Ward 6 Councilman David Dalrymple said.
Ward 5 Councilman George Gaughenbaugh said eliminating the primary isn't the answer. "I'm all about saving money, but we need more public participation in voting," he said.
Charter changes can be tricky. Each must pass two readings; if even one council member dissents, they must go on the general election ballot to be decided by voters. A public hearing also is required and again, if even one objection is raised it's left to voters to decide whether the change has merit.
Ward 2 Councilman Chuck Wright, in fact, said he "expects every one of the proposed charter changes to be challenged."
"In case no one does, I think someone up here should (do it)," Dalrymple said. "I hope someone does challenge (the charter changes). I hope they do get on the ballot and people can make that decision among themselves. It shouldn't be up to just us ..."
Dalrymple, who voted against all three election rules changes, acknowledged voter turnout in recent years has been "abysmal," adding that people "should be ashamed ... that they don't exercise their right" to vote.
Ward 7 Councilman Terry Weigel said he was concerned that eliminating the primary election could lead to voter fatigue.
"If there are a lot of issues and you have a one-time, winner-take-all election, that's a big concern," he said.
Although council nixed the idea of eliminating the city's primary election, the proposal to piggyback city elections with county and state elections passed its first reading, albeit by a 4-3 vote with Ward 4 Councilman George Ash, Ward 3's Fred Marsh and Dalrymple dissenting.
Ash pointed out that piggybacking elections would strip city officials of any role in the election once its candidates and ballot issues are finalized, something he is loathe to see happen.
"We tried to get the county to agree somebody from council could be part of it," Ash said, adding county officials weren't receptive to the idea.
But City Solicitor Vince Gurrera said the county really has no choice. "Either it's under their control or it's not," he said. "You can't piecemeal it."
Council also approved the first reading of a plan to consolidate polling sites, pointing out several school buildings designated for polling will be closing. The proposed change would allow the city to have up to three polling places per ward.
"Even if (piggybacking the city's election with the state and county) passes, we're still going to have one more election," Weigel said, pointing out that Liberty School closed last year and Broadview's closing is on the horizon.
Ash questioned the need to tweak the wording of the charter, prompting Gurrera to point out poll site consolidation is not by choice.
"We're being forced to change it," he said. "It's not us saying we want change, it needs to change to correspond with what is being done" in terms of building availability.
Council also unanimously endorsed the first reading of a proposed charter change increasing the dollar amount the city manager can spend for discretionary expenditures from $1,500 to $3,500 and changing the competitive bid benchmark to $5,000.
The finance committee originally had recommended giving the city manager more spending latitude, but scaled it back in response to Ash's concerns that local businesses might be adversely impacted.
A fifth charter change that would make the city clerk's position permanent, rather than appointed, will have to go on the 2015 city ballot.
Although council voted 7-0 to make the change, objections were raised by Ralph Barone and George Velegol, both of whom submitted their objections in writing. Velegol said he believes the clerk "should still be appointed," while Barone said only that "I Ralph G. Barone attorney-at-law hereby protest changing the city charter authorizing the city clerk position to be changed from appointed position to permanent position."

I've passed the last week searching a way to numerically integrate this multi-dimensional integral in the complex plane at the poles and avoiding the singularity at z=0:
\oint_{C}\oint_{C\ auound\ the\ poles\ only}\frac{z_{1}z_{2}}{z_{2}^{-1}p+(1-p)z_{1}-1}e^{\frac{1}{z_{1}}+z_{1}+\frac{1}{z_{2}}+z_{2}} \, \mathrm{d}z_{1}\mathrm{d}z_{2}
where C is a circle of radius 1 centred at 0 and $p\in]0,1[$ and I used this topic Finding residues of multi-dimensional complex functions to compute this integral.
The fact is that when I give the whole integral to Mathematica, I don't have the contribution of the poles because the contour cannot be deformed due to the singularity. So I'm trying to find a way to exclude the singularity of the contour, maybe with a small contour around z=0 using piecewise or something similar (see the figure here http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/6499/v2uq.png where red=singularity and green=poles) to get only the contribution of the poles.
Thank you for your answers.
Mathematica code
NContourIntegrate[f_, par : (z_ -> g_), {t_, a_, b_}] :=
NIntegrate[Evaluate[D[g, t] (f /. par) /. t -> t1], {t1, a, b}]
Pinfz1[p_?NumericQ, z2_?NumericQ] :=
NContourIntegrate[1/(2*I*Pi)^2*z1*z2/(p + (1 - p)*z1*z2-z2)*E^(1/z1 + z1 + 1/z2 + z2),
z1 -> Exp[I t],
{t, 0, 2*Pi}]
Pinfz[p_?NumericQ] := NContourIntegrate[Pinfz1[p, z2], z2 -> Exp[I t], {t, 0, 2*Pi }]

I've developed a console application for looping through all the webs inside my SharePoint 2010 site, but it's kind of slow, until the point that it throws OutOfMemory exception. This is the code I use (although that example is for a webpart...the way of iterating the site applies for a console application as well).
What I need to do is to loop through each web within a site, and then loop through each folder within each document library. This is because we're indexing all these data for another purposes.
Does anybody know about a better and faster way?

The 6 Creepiest Gifts Ever Given
#3. Melanie Griffith's Dead Mother
We have previously pointed out that Alfred Hitchcock was kind of a creepy asshole. To summarize, he used the 1963 film The Birds as an excuse to torture actress Tippi Hedren -- specifically, by hitting on her and attacking her with actual live birds.
Not happy with destroying Tippi Hedren's psyche (and subsequently, her career), he decided that he should traumatize the rest of her family. Specifically, Hedren's six-year-old daughter and future actress, Melanie Griffith.
So Hitchcock gave as a gift to the little girl a wax figure of her mother in a coffin, dressed up in the same costume she wore in The Birds. And he made sure it looked exactly like her mother.
If her mother had clothes and matching accessories, it could have been passed off as "Mortuary Barbie."
Under the pretense of promoting the film, the director actually had Hedren come in to make a face mask for the doll. The on-set special effects guy took the mask, then shrunk it down so that the doll had the exact same face as Tippi, just so there wouldn't be any doubt about who the doll was supposed to be.
Via Wiki Commons
"... it's for merchandise. We're also selling figures of that guy who got his eyes pecked out."
Years later, a grown-up Melanie Griffith said of Hitchcock, "He was a motherfucker, and you can quote me."
#2. Rape-Themed Wedding Gifts
Imagine it's your wedding day. The gifts are piled up on the table and now it's time to open them and figure out how many people stuck with the registry. What's this? Why, it's a decorative chest from Uncle Frank depicting a graphic rape scene.
Oh, look! Here's another one from grandma. She went for the supernatural rape dinnerware:
Dad, of course, went right for the gang rape:
Congratulations, you are a typical couple living during the Italian Renaissance. In those days, when a couple was married, the daughter would move to the groom's house and become his possession. This "seizure" of women inspired wedding gifts that symbolized their marriage -- all bearing images of "Heroic Rape."
Look at this man heroicly fighting off this woman's aged Father!
We suppose you just had to be there. During the Renaissance, Italians idealized rape-themed Roman legends like the ancient story of the Sabine Women. In that legend, the first generation of Romans were a huge military, but they didn't have women to start their new civilization. In order to get chicks for their new society, they held a festival and invited all the women from the surrounding areas. At a predetermined signal from the Roman King, the Romans each seized a woman. The mass rape supposedly allowed for the creation of the first generation of Roman families.
We assume it was like a rapey musical chairs.
Fast forward to the Renaissance, and you'd find these images painted onto gifts like cassoni (wooden chests) and spalliera (shoulder-high wall decorations). Some of the more popular scenes to be painted on the chests were legends like the Rape of Lucretia, the aforementioned Rape of the Sabine Women and other great works with the word "rape" in them. Because nothing says welcome to a daughter-in-law like "my son won't take no for an answer."
You would think the cherubs are the ones to watch here. You'd be wrong; it's the bull.
#1. For Your Birthday, I Made You Shit Your Pants
Gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson, was the real-life guy that some of you only know from Johnny Depp's portrayal in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. His drug-induced exploits are legendary, but when he wasn't swatting bats with a fly swatter or being chased by some monster after tripping on a shit load of acid, he was pulling pranks on his celebrity friends. And by pranks, we mean terrifying events that gave them PTSD. Which brings us to the "gift" he got Jack Nicholson for his birthday.
"This better be good."
On the special day, Thompson sneaked into the shrubbery around Nicholson's home, pulled out a gun and started firing. Not right into the window or anything, he wasn't trying to kill him. He was just trying to make him think he was going to die. That led to Part Two of his plan, which was to leave behind a device that broadcast a recording of "terrible dying-animal cries." Part Three involved dropping a bloody animal heart at the front door.
"Heeeeeere's ... OH JESUS CHRIST!"
Hey, did we mention that Nicholson was dealing with a stalker at the time? And was already fearing for his safety? Fearing a Manson Family-style home invasion that would slaughter everyone inside the house, Jack called the cops and hid with his terrified family in the basement for the rest of a sleepless night. Happy Birthday!
"You've even got candles, as I tripped the fuse box!"
Looking back on the event, Thompson was regretful of the whole "thinking you were going to die" prank. But this flash of reason was the exception rather than the rule in Thompson's life. Later, for a Christmas present, Thompson sent Jack's nine-year-old daughter an incredibly detailed and graphic sculpture of a rat's bloodied body stuck in a trap. Included in the present was a note which read: "Dear Lorraine. This will teach you a lesson about trusting men which will be valuable later in life. You're welcome, Uncle Hunter." Ho, Ho, Ho!

362ci Dirt Late Model Engine Rebuild - Part 2Written by on April 1, 2013 A Deeper Look Inside
When we left SRE Engine Techniques, our 362 was stripped down to a short-block. The oil pan was removed and we took a quick look at the rotating assembly, but didn't have the time to really dive into it. Since then, Steve Rolenc has pulled everything apart and taken a more in depth look at each of the components.
Knowing what we have, and looking at our goals makes picking new components (if necessary) easier. Judging from how old the components looked, we know we will be replacing the majority of the rotating assembly. With an engine this old, it's a good idea to replace the pistons. Judging by the markings on the connecting rods, two sets were put together to make one set, and who knows if they are even close to each other in terms of weight. Looking at all of this, it's pretty safe to say that the entire rotating assembly will be replaced.
If we were shackled by a tight budget, which many racers are, much of the rotating assembly could be reused. The downside to reusing the components we pulled out of the engine is that we don't know the history of everything. Being that the engine was bought as a "freshened" piece, we don't know how much time is actually on it. We do know that the crankshaft has had some weight added and removed in the name of balancing, and it was not exactly pretty. On the bright side, the engine ran well for what it looked like on the inside. It didn't make anywhere near the 710 horsepower it was said to make at the time of purchase, but some engine builders have been known to inflate horsepower numbers.
We are going to skip a month with our 362 build to allow some time to gather the needed parts, but in the next writing we will be machining parts and starting the test fitting process. Race season will be here before you know and we plan on hitting the track as soon as possible with our reborn 362ci Dirt Late Model engine. In the meantime, checkout what we found in the rotating assembly.

1. Last month, we looked at a shoddy fix in an intake port of one of the Brodix cylinder heads. This could have been from a near catastrophic failure, but either way, this wasn't doing much for performance. You can also see oil was getting past the gasket. With oil's low octane, oil in the intake stream could cause detonation, and negatively affect performance.2. Rolenc pulled the camshaft, which was supposed to be a Crane grind (Crane #118851). We looked up the grind number, and the cam specs were supposed to be 0.630/0.630 lift and 264/267 duration. Before pulling it, Rolenc degreed the cam to see where it was installed—it was advanced 8 degrees.3. Next the camshaft was checked on his Cam Plus Pro software and digitizer. Based on a 1.5:1 rocker arm ratio, peak lift was 0.63047 on the intake side and 0.62869 on the exhaust side. At 0.050, the duration was 264.3/267.8 degrees respectively. The exhaust side rocker arm was a higher 1.6:1 ratio, so Rolenc retested based on the larger exhaust rockers. The intake numbers stayed the same, but the peak exhaust lift increased to 0.67060-inch, which is accurate to the original cam card specs.5. The valves showed signed of oil in the intake stream, which we knew about from looking inside the cylinder heads.6.The combustion chambers showed a good flame pattern, but there were slight signs of combustion gasses getting past the intake valve. While the leak down tests were good (except for cylinder No. 4), these heads needed a valve job.7. Looking into the intake runner, it's easy to see the where fuel was hitting the back wall of the intake runner.8. Looking at the connecting rods, the little nicks and imperfections hint at the previous failures this engine endured. Looking at where the rod connects to the piston, side clearance could be an issue. After measuring it, it was determined that although it's close, the side clearance was OK. If this wasn't checked, the connecting rod could have eaten into the piston, cause some serious damage.
10. The eight rods in the engine were a combination of two different sets of rods (determines by the marking on the caps), which is another sign of previous failures.11. The JE pistons were in good shape considering the age of the engine. The bores are 0.030 over and will need a larger overbore to clean up.12. Rolenc told us that the Scat crankshaft, although ugly, was most likely reusable without any issues. The downside to this crankshaft is its weight, checking in at 53 pounds. For a race engine like this, a 42- to 45-pound crankshaft would offer better performance.15. The bearing wear is typical for a beat up race engine. The wear patters show a slight misalignment of the align hone, but all-in-all the bearing are in really good shape. The date code on the bearing are 1/2003 and 6/2003, which put this engine build in the late 2003 to early 2004 timeline.16. The wear patters show a slight misalignment of the align hone, but all-in-all the bearing are in really good shape. The date code on the bearing are 1/2003 and 6/2003, which put this engine build in the late 2003 to early 2004 timeline.
19. The crankshaft is ugly and heavy. Weight was blobbed on the end of the counterweight during balancing.

Titanfall's Xbox One resolution could be improved with a post-launch patch, says RespawnWritten by: / / 3 Comments
While an 840MB Day One patch is already planned for Titanfall when it launches around the world this week (except in South Africa…), Respawn Entertainment's lead engineer, Richard Bake,r has confirmed that the game currently runs at a resolution of '792p' on Xbox One, but it might be possible to increase this resolution with a post-launch patch.
Speaking to Eurogamer's Digital Foundry, Baker said:
"We've been experimenting with making it higher and lower. One of the big tricks is how much ESRAM we're going to use, so we're thinking of not using hardware MSAA and instead using FXAA to make it so we don't have to have this larger render target.
"We're going to experiment. The target is either 1080p non-anti-aliased or 900p with FXAA. We're trying to optimise… we don't want to give up anything for higher res. So far we're not 100 per cent happy with any of the options, we're still working on it. For day one it's not going to change. We're still looking at it for post-day one. We're likely to increase resolution after we ship."
While an improved resolution is still up in the air, there will be a performance improvement, says Baker, on day one compared to what beta participants might have seen:
"There was an issue with decals taking a lot more time than they should which we fixed for launch," Baker said. "The worst-case scenarios are better, I think. The average is probably about the same as the beta."
Last week it was confirmed that Titanfall players would need to grab an 840MB Day One patch for the game, but there are currently no details about what the title update does. We'll probably find out tomorrow with the launch of the game in North America.
Titanfall is out on Xbox One and PC on March 11th in North America, March 13th in Europe and March 14th in the UK. The Xbox 360 version is out on March 25th in North America, and March 28th in the UK and Europe following a delay.
The previously announced collector's edition recently got a glorious unboxing video to showcase its contents – take a look over here. If you need something to keep you busy until the launch of Titanfall in your region, might we suggest you play the first game in the 'Titanfall Arcade' collection of games inspired by arcade classics?
Have you waded through El33tonline's already extensive current and continued coverage? You can find even more videos, screenshots and details. Also don't miss El33tonline's hands-on preview of Titanfall, as well as our impressions of the game from E3 2013, and our in-depth interview with producer Drew McCoy.

In early 2003 a roundtable discussion was held among the City of Wilmington Community Development, Wilmington Housing Finance & Development, Habitat for Humanity, Cape Fear CDC and AME Zion Housing Development, all local non-profit developers (CHDOs). It was decided that there was a need to form an Affordable Housing Coalition. The idea grew from the fact that a Coalition would facilitate non-profit agencies interested in homelessness/affordable housing issues to work together on common goals and issues.
The participants felt that a Coalition would be proactive rather than reactive and would present a united front to the community at large. The Coalition became incorporated as of May 2005 and its formal by-laws were adopted in September 2005. Past Chairs include Rev. Jones of AME Zion Church, Gwen Flowers of G. Flowers Realty, Louis Rogers of Self Help Credit Union, Jonathan Barfield of Barfield & Associates REALTORS®, Barbara Birkenheuer of Cape Fear Habitat for Humanity, Pam Rancke of BB&T Mortgage, Carey Disney Ricks of Cape Fear Public Utilities, Toronya Ezell of AMEZ Housing CDC and this year's chair, J.C. Skane of WARM

In This Article:
This is from the birth of your baby until the delivery of the membranes (the amniotic bag that surrounded your baby) and placenta. The placenta can be actively managed with the help of drugs or delivered without drugs, known as passive management or a physiological third stage. Your doctor will discuss these options with you before labor.
Once your baby has been delivered, it may be left for two to three minutes before it is cut. Allowing the cord to pulsate for a few minutes means your baby receives more blood from the placenta, which boosts his or her oxygen supply and blood volume. The cord will be clamped in two places, about 1 cm and 4 cm from the baby's belly, and is cut with scissors between the clamps.
How your placenta is delivered depends on your doctor. Many wait for it to happen naturally, but others offer an intramuscular (IM) injection of an oxytoxic drug in your thigh to make the uterus contract so that you can deliver the placenta and membranes quickly. Helping the uterus contract in this way reduces the risk of heavy bleeding occurring during the third stage, known as a postpartum hemorrhage (see Postpartum hemorrhage) and speeds up the delivery of the placenta, which can happen within 5 to 15 minutes after the birth of the baby. The risk of a postpartum hemorrhage occurring is the reason many units advise an active delivery. If you have a fibroid, active delivery will be advised because there is a heavy risk of bleeding.
Your doctor will place one of her hands just above your pubic bone to prevent the uterus from being pulled downward when she pulls on the cord. With her other hand, she will then apply gentle traction to the cord to help deliver the membranes and placenta. This is known as "controlled cord traction" (CCT).
If you decide to deliver the placenta without drugs, known as a physiological third stage, this can take up to an hour. Your doctor will encourage you to bear down and you may find squatting helps. The doctor will check the placenta to ensure it's complete and that none of it remains in the uterus, which can cause a postpartum hemorrhage.

GENESEO, N.Y. -- SUNY Geneseo completed another school year by conducting two commencements Saturday for the 1,306 undergraduate students.
Congresswoman Kathy Hochul, who represents New York's 26th Congressional district, addressed the morning ceremony; Bill Cook, distinguished teaching professor of history at SUNY Geneseo delivered the afternoon address, who advised the graduates "not to sell their humanities books just yet," because the issues some of the ancient philosophers and statesmen faced are the very issues they will face in an unpredictable 21st-century world. Cook is retiring from the college after 42 years on the Geneseo faculty.
The college conferred an honorary doctor of science degree upon Richard Nisbett, the Theodore M. Newcomb Distinguished University Professor at the University of Michigan.
Senior orators were Kristina Licatese, a Spanish and adolescent education major, at the morning ceremony and Greg Roloff, a biology major, at the afternoon ceremony. Licatese will pursue a master's degree in adolescent education at Universidad Nacional de Cordoba in Argentina, the first Geneseo student to participate in a partnership Geneseo has with that university. Roloff plans to attend medical school after a year as a research fellow at the National Cancer Institute.
The Richard Roark Award recipient was Elizabeth Barber. The award goes to a graduating senior whose excellence in scholarship and community service exemplify the qualities that were important to the late Geneseo anthropology professor. Barber majored in international relations with a concentration in the developing world and a second major in English with a concentration in English literature. She plans to attend graduate school at the Columbia University School of Journalism.
The Alumni Association Student Leadership Award went to Bennett Marano, a business administration major. The Student Association President's Cup Award went to music major Adam LaSalle.

I was thinking about the use of carousels in homepages, I have noticed a lot of web pages use and I really don't think they are useful sometimes, however I'm just a developer but I really like to do my homework and I decided to learn a big more about UX, problems come when I try to find a logic explanation why we should or not avoid this.
Whether you use a particular html feature or jquery widget or whatever really depends more on what problem you are trying to solve.
Identify the problems to be solved, then design solutions to those problems. Don't just grab solutions as seen elsewhere and then just use them.
Regarding sliders (aka carousels) ...
Use when your problem is:
But only if:
That is:
The fallback for non-js visitors would likely be to present a few thumbnails with a more... link (eg. more news... or more featured products...). That satisfies the problem requirements as detailed above.

In cooperation with UNESCO's International Council of Organizations of Folklore Festivals and Folk Arts (CIOFF), the Erau International Folklore and Art Festival will be held once again at the town of Tenggarong, Kutai Kartanegara Regency, East Kalimantan from 30th June to 7th July 2013.
Held by the Regency's government of Kutai Kartanegara Regency the Festival will bring a total of 250 representatives from 12 countries. The 12 countries participating in the festival are: Togo, Thailand, Taiwan, Egypt, Belgium, Canada, The Czech Republic, Greece, France, India, Russia, and South Korea.
The festival will feature a series of cultural ceremonies and folk festivities including traditional ceremonies from the Kutai Kartanegara Sultanate, Kutai's tradional art performances, and various folk entertainment.
The word Erau itself is derived from the local language "eroh" meaning cheerful or festive. The Erau ceremony itself has been around since the 16th century, but since the end of the Sultanate in 1960s, when Kutai Kartanegara changed into the Kutai Kartanegara Special Region and now into Kutai Kartanegara regency, the Erau celebration has not been observed. In 1970, under then regent Achmad Dahlan, the festival was revived and has since been celebrated during the regency's anniversary every September.
Besides featuring traditional Erau ceremonies as a main event, the festival will also feature world-class art exhibitions, traditional sports competitions, traditional markets and various street performances.
To reach Tenggarong, one must first fly to Balikpapan. There are many flights to Balikpapan from main cities in Indonesia. Garuda Indonesia flies to Balikpapan from Singapore.
The town of Tenggarong, capital of the Regency of Kutai Kartanegara, is 3 hours overland from Balikpapan, pass Samarinda, capital of the province of East Kalimantan. From Samarinda it takes half an hour by car to Tenggarong.
Alternately you can take a short flight from Balikpapan to Samarinda. There are small planes flying between the two cities, operated by Susi Air and KalStar.

Eartha Matthews was hired at Home Instead Senior Care 17 months ago. Being able to go back to work, helping others, had much more meaning this time around.
"I've had several cancer battles and for me personally this was the first job that I had worked on since I had my first battle with cancer in 2000," says Matthews.
Matthews has used her own struggles to care for others. Caregivers at Home Instead make it possible for clients to live at home, with their family, even if they need help with day to day tasks.
"I try to treat my clients as if they were my mother or if it was myself. I hope someone would do the way I am doing with my clients and if I get into that situation I hope and pray someone will take the time and be compassionate with me," says Matthews.
Her empathetic and compassionate nature at work hasn't gone un-noticed.
Matthews was recently awarded the Caregiver of the Year Award which came as a total surprise to someone who says they were just doing their job.
"I threw my glasses on the table and got to crying because even my son knew it but it was still a shock to me so I was grateful," says Matthews.
Co-workers as well as families Eartha works with have high regards for her level of dedication.
"There was a time where Eartha's vehicle was broken down and she actually walked. Well that is dedication how many people would actually do that? But the family cared so much about Eartha that they wanted to transport her so she could be the one to care for their loved one. We hold Eartha in such high regard. We are thankful for Eartha. We consider her a blessing to our company," says Brad Cannon.
For her hard work and focused care to each of her clients we honor Eartha Matthews as this week's Hometown Hero.

Hydrazine Sulfate (PDQ®): Complementary and alternative medicine - Patient Information [NCI] - Questions and Answers About Hydrazine Sulfate
Hydrazine sulfate is a compound that has been studied as a treatment for cancer and for cancer-related anorexia (loss of appetite) and cachexia (loss of muscle mass and body weight).What is the history of the discovery and use of hydrazine sulfate as a complementary or alternative treatment for cancer?
It has been known since the early 1900s that hydrazine compounds are toxic to animals and to humans. More than 400 hydrazine-related compounds have been tested for their ability to kill cancer cells. One of these compounds, procarbazine, has been used to treat Hodgkin disease, melanoma, and lung cancer since the 1960s.
In view of procarbazine's anticancer activity, hydrazine sulfate (a compound similar to procarbazine) was studied for its effectiveness in fighting cancer beginning in the 1970s. Studies of hydrazine sulfate as a treatment for cancer-related cachexia also began during this time.
Hydrazine compounds have also been used to make rocket fuel, as herbicides (chemicals that kill plants), and as chemical agents in boiler and cooling-tower water systems. Many scientists consider hydrazine sulfate and other similar substances to be cancer-causing agents and are concerned about the safety of using these compounds.What is the theory behind the claim that hydrazine sulfate is useful in treating cancer?
Two theories have been suggested to explain how hydrazine sulfate acts against cancer and cachexia:
- Hydrazine sulfate may prevent the body from making sugar that cancer cells need to grow. It has been suggested that cachexia occurs because the cancer is using too much of the body's sugar, preventing healthy cells from getting what they need to live. This causes tissues to die and muscle to waste away, and the patient loses weight.
- Hydrazine sulfate may block tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). This is a substance made by the body's white blood cells to fight infection and tissue damage. High levels of TNF-alpha have been found in cancer patients. These high levels of TNF-alpha may cause loss of appetite, tiredness, and the breakdown of muscle tissue. As muscle breaks down, it makes sugar that the cancer cells use to grow. Blocking the TNF-alpha might stop tumor growth and prevent cachexia.
Hydrazine sulfate is taken by mouth in pills or capsules. There is no standard dose or length of treatment time.Have any preclinical (laboratory or animal) studies been conducted using hydrazine sulfate?
Research in a laboratory or using animals is done to find out if a drug, procedure, or treatment is likely to be safe and useful in humans. These preclinical studies are done before any testing in humans is begun. The following has been learned from preclinical studies of hydrazine sulfate:
- In most studies with rats, mice, and hamsters, hydrazine sulfate caused an increase in lung, liver, and breast cancers.
- When used alone against certain types of cancer (including melanoma, leukemia, bladder, breast, and prostate), hydrazine sulfate slowed tumor growth in some animal studies and showed no effect in others. In cases where tumor growth was slowed the most, the animals lost large amounts of weight. This finding does not support the proposed use of hydrazine sulfate to treat cachexia caused by cancer.
- When hydrazine sulfate was combined with an anticancer drug, it seemed to improve the anticancer effects in rats and mice. When hydrazine sulfate was combined with an anticancer drug that affects the way cells use sugar, however, it helped in some studies and did not help in others.
- Preclinical studies by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) found that hydrazine sulfate showed no anticancer activity except in one type of cancer in rats. The NCI decided not to continue studying the compound as a treatment for cancer. Studies of hydrazine sulfate as a treatment for cancer-related anorexia and cachexia continued.
For more information on the preclinical studies, see the PDQ health professional version of Hydrazine Sulfate.Have any clinical trials (research studies with people) of hydrazine sulfate been conducted?
Clinical trials are a type of research study that tests how well new drugs or other treatments work in people. There have been many studies of hydrazine sulfate in patients with advanced cancer. Researchers looked at the following:
- Tumor response and/or survival among patients with various types of cancer.
- Changes in body weight.
- Quality of life.
- Changes in nutritional status and metabolism (chemical changes that take place in cells and make energy needed for life).
Clinical trials of hydrazine sulfate have reported the following:
- In the mid 1970s, clinical trials by a drug company found that a small number of patients who were treated with hydrazine sulfate for advanced cancer reported having a better appetite, losing less weight, feeling stronger, or having less pain. In some patients, the tumor got smaller or did not grow, or there was improvement in a cancer-related symptom. These clinical trials do not prove that hydrazine sulfate is effective for advanced cancer, however, because of weaknesses in study design. There was no control group (a group of patients who did not receive hydrazine sulfate) and half of the patients in the trial could not be counted in the results for reasons that include missing information, short treatment times, and receiving other treatment along with the hydrazine sulfate.
- From the 1970s to the mid 1990s, Russian studies with hydrazine sulfate had mixed results. Little information was reported about the patients and their treatment and about the study design and methods. All of the patients in these studies also received standard treatment with surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiation therapy. Therefore, it is not known if results were caused by hydrazine sulfate or one of the standard treatments, or both.
- Clinical studies funded by the NCI in the 1970s found that hydrazine sulfate did not cause tumors to shrink or go away. Some patients reported small improvements in appetite, pain, and weight, but they did not last. These studies did not include control groups.
- Four randomized controlled trials were done in the 1990s. A randomized trial is a study in which the patients are assigned by chance to separate groups to compare different treatments; neither the researchers nor the patients can choose which group. These trials compared hydrazine sulfate with a placebo (an inactive substance that looks like the treatment being tested). The results showed that hydrazine sulfate was not effective in treating cancer. In some cases, it was found to be harmful.
- In three of the trials, lung cancer patients received either hydrazine sulfate or a placebo, along with anticancer drugs. The patients who received hydrazine sulfate did not live longer or have their tumors shrink any more than the placebo group. In one of the studies, patients who took hydrazine sulfate showed better nutritional status than patients in the placebo group, although the increase in body weight was small. In another of the studies, patients who received hydrazine sulfate had a worse quality of life than patients who received the same anticancer drugs plus the placebo. [1]
- A fourth trial found that patients with colorectal cancer who received only hydrazine sulfate lived for a shorter time than patients who received only a placebo.
- Four other randomized controlled trials studied the effects of hydrazine sulfate on nutritional status and metabolism. The studies showed some benefit from hydrazine sulfate.
- In 2 of the studies[2], patients receiving hydrazine sulfate showed improvement in metabolism, appetite, and in either gaining weight or not losing weight.
- In the other 2 clinical trials[3], lung and colon cancer patients receiving hydrazine sulfate had less cancer-related muscle wasting.
In general, the reported side effects of hydrazine sulfate treatment have been mild to moderate. Most side effects are reported to end when treatment with hydrazine sulfate is stopped. Some animal studies, however, suggest that hydrazine sulfate may be highly toxic (harmful) when combined with either alcohol or barbiturates (drugs with sedative and hypnotic effects).
Most of the side effects caused by hydrazine sulfate have involved the nervous system and gastrointestinal tract. These side effects include the following:
- Nausea and/or vomiting.
- Dizziness.
- Abnormal feelings in the arms and legs (such as burning or prickling).
- Nerve inflammation.
- Impaired fine motor function (such as trouble writing).
- Dry skin and/or itching.
- Being unable to sleep.
- Abnormally low blood sugar.
One case of fatal liver and kidney failure and one case of severe injury to the brain have been linked to the use of hydrazine sulfate.Is hydrazine sulfate approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use as a cancer treatment in the United States?
The FDA has not approved hydrazine sulfate for use as a cancer treatment in the United States.
The FDA has approved the study of hydrazine sulfate in clinical trials. Information about ongoing clinical trials can be found on the NCI Web site.
Hydrazine sulfate is sold in the United States as a dietary supplement, which is regulated as a food, not a drug. More information about dietary supplements can be found in the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine online fact sheet, Using Dietary Supplements Wisely.

Thank you Seattle, the Gatehouse is complete!
Mayor Greg Nickels and the Honorable Mistunori Namba, Consul General of Japan in Seattle opened the gates of the new Gatehouse at a grand opening celebration held on May 4, 2009. The celebration included a Shinto blessing, taiko drumming and a koto performance.
On June 16, 2008 a Jinchinsai ceremony which is a traditional Shinto ground pacification ceremony took place. The construction contract was awarded to the low bidder, A-1 Landscaping & Construction Inc.
Below are the project changes and steps taken to minimize the impact on vegetation associated with this project:
The architects have sited the structures in such a way
as to minimize impact to the garden and trees.
The Japanese Garden Entry Gatehouse will provide a new entry structure to the garden. The new entrance will be approximately 1,170 square feet and will include a ticket booth with direct access to the garden, a storage room, a meeting room, men's and women's restrooms with covered vestibule; and a maintenance area. See the images below.
PROJECT DESCRIPTIONThe University of Washington, the City and the Arboretum Foundation are working together on three projects to implement the Arboretum master plan. The three projects include the Japanese Garden Entry Gatehouse, the South Entry/Madrona Terrace Improvements and the Irrigation Mainline Project.
The Master Plan for �Renewing the Washington Park Arboretum� was adopted by the City and UW Regents in May 2001. The three identified projects are being funded by the Pro Parks Levy.
Concepts, drawings and photos
Description of Japanese Garden Entry Gatehouse
Design of an Entry Gatehouse for the Washington Park Arboretum Japanese Garden to include: a Ticket Booth with adjoining storage room for printed material and a patron wheelchair, and a door with direct access to the garden; a Storage Room that can be converted to the Gift Shop at a later date, or can be the Gift Shop initially if there is agreement on the operation; a Meeting Room with only one door from the restroom vestibule and storage closets; men's and women's restrooms with covered vestibule; and a Maintenance area with common area including kitchen, janitor's closet and mechanical Room. The overall footprint will be roughly 1,170 sf.

What's the best way to programatically add one or more items to a SharePoint list in WSS 3.0?
Microsoft Online requires that you use ProcessBatchData if you are adding multiple items within a loop:
This requirement changed my code adding multiple items to a Links list from this:
to this:
Using ProcessBatchData obviously reduces readability, so (unless required) I would not use it for only a couple items. But it's good to know when wanting to add lots of items (especially in a post back or an -ing event receiver where the user is waiting).
Well there are a couple of ways to do this, but again it depends on the type of the application runnig this code.
This the way I did it in a .NET project written for WSS3.0
Hope this helps.

Assault continues on Second Amendment

Operation Fast and Furious was pstensibly a continuation of the Bush-era program Wide Receiver", wherein guns were to be sold to Mexican criminals and tracked to their cartels in an effort to suppress the gangs and violence. However, corrupt Mexican officials on that side of the border were not upholding their end, so th Bush admin abandoned the project. Obama's admin started forcing gun border-area dealers to sell to the criminals, without bothering to monitor them--as Bush had--and when the eapons started showing up in various murders and other crimes, they came down on the dealers, for selling them in first place. That's the Regime for you, though.

Wvcoffee, WRONG! Operation wide receiver happened under Bush. This was also the operation where the guns were equipped with GPS tracking devices and Mexican authorities were waiting to make arrests when the border was crossed. Operation Fast and furious which was conducted by the Obama admin, did not notify Mexican officials, and the guns were not equipped with tracking devices.

RPG wrong again. It was a Bush program all along.
3 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
There is a difference between the programs run by their respective admin. Under Bush the Mexican government was informed, and was waiting to arrest the criminals. Under Obama, Obama was part of the crime, along with Holder and the purpose was to create violence and murder to justify strict gun laws up here.

Core, what do you think about Obama and Holder providing guns to the drug cartels to create murder and mayhem in our country along the border and south of the border?

When asked about the term militia, George Mason said that the term meant all citizens and not just those who serve in a military aspect. Upon reading our Founders' primary documents, it is quite clear that these great men intended for us all to have the ability to be armed. For the record, my AK-47 has taken fewer lives than Giffords-Kelly family pets. Collectively my twenty-some guns have killed fewer people than Ted Kennedy's car.

Well said Moteman. I'd also like to add to that. How many illegal arms sales has the Obama admin and Eric Holder been responsible for? How many murders have those two contributed to?

Tomsays, you apparently have not read the 2nd amendment either because you lack understanding of the terminology. The "militia" mentioned in the constitution was not referring to the military. Any male of fighting age was considered a member of the militia. "Well regulated" meant well armed, well equipped, and well trained. So, basically, the second amendment translated to the language of today means that citizens should be allowed to be armed, should be armed, and well trained in the use of those arms, and that said freedom is non-negotiable, and shall never be up for debate. If adam lanza had walked into Sandy Hook with 5 gallons of gas and a road flare and done the same, would you still be mad?

Tom if anyone is drinking the Koolaid it is you and it is you who needs to get your head out of Piers Morgan's butt and listen up.

Kindergarten Retention
Q: My six-year-old boy is in kindergarten. He is the oldest in class because his birthday is on October 1. I just had a parent teacher conference and she suggested keeping him in kindergarten another year. He doesn't recognize all of the letters yet. I think it would hurt his self-confidence to stay another year. Do you have any comments on this? Also, do you know of any teaching tool I can use to help him at home? Thanks.
A: We believe that it would be a mistake for your son to be held back in kindergarten. Retention is not going to solve any serious learning problems he may have. It will just hide them for another year.
Schedule another conference with his teacher immediately. Find out what skills the kindergarten children were supposed to master in the class and how many of them your son has mastered. He may have a processing problem that the classroom teacher cannot identify. Make it clear that you do not want your son retained and put in writing that you want him tested for a learning disability. Do this before the end of the school year so a plan to help him is in place for next year. Also, it will give you ideas of how you can help him this summer.
In your search for a solution to your child's learning problems, be sure to have his vision and hearing checked and schedule an appointment with his doctor. This will enable you to get a medical opinion about why your son is having difficulty with certain learning skills.
Your son has several months to pick up the skills he needs for first grade, and you can help him this summer. Pick up ABC song tapes and alphabet books at the library and enjoy them together.
Begin to work with him on letter recognition. Work with one letter for several days. On those days, try and do activities that start with that letter -- even eating food that starts with the special letter. Then do fun activities together that will teach him the letter such as tracing the letter in sand and making cookie, pancake, and clay letters. Have him find the letter on cans and signs and in books. Be creative in finding different ways for him to see, write, say, and review each letter. Remember, learning should be fun at this age and involve a lot of hands-on activities. You will find many good ideas in our Activities Center.
