Shaving A Firewall - Smooth MovesWritten by on April 9, 2012 Contributors: Jason Scudellari Cleaning Up a Firewall Without Cutting it Up
After last month's inspection of his newest project and following its return from the sandblaster, our tech center main man Jason Scudellari tore into the sheetmetal repairs on our project '56 Chevy with vigor. Replacing the cab corners, rockers, and part of the driver's side door pillar, it soon became painfully obvious that one, if not both, of the cab's doors were smoked. As Jason began searching for replacement items, it became even more painfully obvious that finding decent stock replacements wasn't going to be easy, as it seems that this is a weak area of sorts for these trucks.
Not wanting to have the project sit idle while a good set of doors was sorted out, we decided to sit down and to see if we could come up with a few things that could be accomplished on the truck in its current state. We decided that it was as good a time as any to tackle shaving the firewall, as it wouldn't affect much of anything down the road and save us a few hours of labor later on. And with a firewall that resembles Swiss Cheese and no plans for a total restoration, it made sense to smooth it out and fill all the holes in one, simple swoop.
Starting with a sheet of 18-gauge sheetmetal, Jason setup his workstation before cleaning up the firewall on the truck. From there, he made a pair of templates, one for each side of the hump, before transferring the shape onto the sheetmetal. Using his trusty Lincoln Tomahawk plasma cutter, the two panels were quickly cut out and then tacked directly over the stock firewall. While the original firewall could have been cut out and replaced with the new panels, there are numerous reasons Jason decided not to do it this way. First, leaving the stock firewall as-is ensures it retains its structural integrity. Cutting any portion of it out could let the front of the cab sag, twist, or move. Second, it's quick and to the point. The goal was to smooth the surface of the firewall and this was the easiest way to achieve that goal. Third, it creates another barrier to bar heat, noise, and aromas from entering the cab from the engine compartment.
Setting an afternoon aside, we followed along as Jason took a flimsy, holey firewall and turned it into one smoothed out, tough panel. Little side projects like this are a great way to fill wasted downtime and can really speed up a build. Though it may seem a bit out of order, side tracking to something like this while waiting to finish another aspect of the build is what gets that build checklist completed. CCT

Since the plates are going to sit against the stock firewall, the entire surface needs to be nice and flat. Holes with flanges, such as this one, need to be trimmed back.To ensure a clean and well-penetrating weld, the surface of the firewall needs to be in bare metal. A grinder with an 80-grit flap disc removes the primer easily and leaves a smooth finish.Now the firewall is ready to accept the new panels. Note that the entire area of the upper panel has been sanded down to bare metal. The first step is to make a pair of templates. A quick set of measurements are taken before being transferred to a sheet of paper.Then, the sheet is taped to the cowl of the truck and the shape of the panel is traced onto the template.Once both sides are traced and trimmed, you can see how the panels will fit over the existing firewall sections.
The steel panels are then cut out using a Lincoln Tomahawk 375 plasma cutter. Note that Jason is using a straight edge as a guide, clamped to the work piece to ensure a nice, straight cut.Once the shape of the template is cut out, a grinder with a sanding disc attached is used to deburr the edges and to smooth out the radii of the curved areas.Jason included a few other items on his templates that should be pointed out. First are the hood hinge mounting holes. The hood hinges attach to the firewall using nutserts attached from the factory. Not wanting to remove the stock mounting point, Jason simple-drilled two holes on both upper corners that will allow the stock attachment point to be retained. He also placed two strategically located holes in the center of each template so that he can plug-weld the panel to the firewall. Doing so alleviates the chance that the panels will vibrate against the firewall as it essentially mates the two together in the center as well as the perimeter.Before welding the panels to the firewall, Jason flips them over and applies a coat of primer to prevent the inside from rusting. Note the aforementioned center plug weld holes.After ensuring that everything is aligned, Jason begins a series of tack welds using a Lincoln Power MIG 140c welder around the entire perimeter of each panel. Once the panel is completely tacked into position and given a final inspection, it is finish welded using a series of one-inch welds spaced liberally apart to avoid any warpage problems due to overheating.To smooth things out, the grinder and flap disc package is once again used to knock the welds down and create a seamless appearance.

I was letting my mind freewheel, and it occurred to me that hair, containing keratin, is a polymer. It is also capable of acquiring and maintaining a charge as happens, on occasion, when brushed.
So ...
- Can hair be used as a dielectric in a capacitor?
- Do any capacitors/manufacturers use hair as an dielectric already ?

Standard Crayons Bulk Pack 3000/case 4 colors 750 each for $48.88
TONS of crayons
4 Comments add a comment
to the contrary, a single crayon weighs approximately 5 grams (.176 ounces), which takes this particular offering to a meager 33 lbs., or 2207 lbs. shy of a ton. for those who would like to take OP up on his/her suggestion, please note that you'll need to add an additional 67 bulk crayon packs to your order to equal a ton, or--if taking OP in the literal plural sense of "TONS"--135 more bulk packs (2 tons). please be prepared to pay $3323.84 for one ton of crayons, and $6647.68 for two tons of crayons.
@pinchecat: You have a point but if you're going to correct someone than I guess I should correct your post. You say this pack of crayons weighs 33 lbs. and is 2207 lbs. shy of a ton, meaning you believe a ton to be 2240 lbs. In fact a ton is actually on 2000 lbs. which would also change the rest of your math.
@futrmw: clearly you're unfamiliar with the difference between a long ton and short ton. your advanced intellect should have revealed that i'd chosen the former for my calculations.
@pinchecat: Yes you used a long ton that only the british and a few commonwealths use the standard ton is 2000 or a metric ton would be a better choice with is 1000 kg or 2204 lbs, but the standard United States ton is 2000 lbs.

Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2070 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
The Georgia FFA-FCCLA Center (located between Covington and Jackson on Ga. Hwy. 36) will host its 9th annual FFA Wildlife Camp [1]this summer. The goal of the wildlife camp is to teach young boys and girls about outdoor sports and safety and to increase their awareness and appreciation of wildlife. This year there will be four "Wildlife Camps" to provide wildlife education and outdoor safety training in a dynamic environment for young boys and girls.
There are two Basic Wildlife Camps for youth ages 10-15, to be held June 26-July 1 and July 10-July 15, 2011. In addition, there is an Advanced Wildlife Camp available for youth ages 11-16 from July 17-22, 2011. Registration is open, but space is limited!
The weeklong residential wildlife camp will center on firearms and hunter safety (taught by certified firearms instructors). Participants will receive their Georgia Hunter Safety Certification and will have opportunities to demonstrate safe firearms use with certified instructors. In addition, attendees will enjoy fishing, outdoor cooking, deer stand safety, primitive camping, and wildlife conservation.
The Advanced Wildlife Camp is for youth who already have their hunter safety certification. Opportunities during this weeklong camp include bow hunting, survival, wildlife education, and firearms and firearm maintenance.
Campers are divided by age group and stay with the same group throughout the entire week. All programs are designed to be 'hands-on' and geared toward the age of the participants. Recreation facilities at the camp include a swimming pool, miniature golf, ping-pong, basketball and much more! The cost is only $300 per camper, which includes lodging, meals, instruction, recreation and a t-shirt. A limited number of scholarships are available.
Sponsorship is needed for awards and door prizes and volunteers are needed to help with the camp. If you would like to assist in sponsorship opportunities, volunteer or for more information on the Wildlife Camp, contact Leroy Bagley with the Georgia FFA-FCCLA Center at (770) 786-6926, ext. 8, email@example.com [2] or visit www.wildlifecamp.com [3] .

I hear this term used pretty often. Does it refer to a specific focal length? Or very low F-number? What does a lens need to have in order to be considered "portrait lens"?
Generally speaking a portrait lens is a moderate telephoto (for 35mm film, maybe something in the range of 85mm to 135mm) with a moderately wide aperture (again for 35mm film, f2 or so).
As to why telephoto, a longer lens allows the photographer to fill the frame with the subject's face/shoulders without the apparent distortion of features you would get from being close to the subject with a wide angle lens. Telephoto and a wide aperture also helps reduce depth of field.
Note -- it isn't unheard of to use 180mm and 200mm lenses (35mm film) to take portraits, this tends to flatten the features a bit which can be an agreeable effect.
The lenses I see most often used for "portraits" (and by that I mean traditional ones without wacky dramatic wide angle effects) are 85mm prime, 100mm prime, and 70-200mm zoom. Fast lenses do often work better, but it's a two-edged blade: You have to nail your focus if you open up, so watch for that. Additionally, if you are used to a moderately-wide to somewhat-telephoto like a 24-105mm or something like that, you'll need to get used to the amount of room it takes to shoot with a telephoto.
The term "portrait lens" doesn't explicitly define a specific type of lens. That is, lenses aren't generally listed as "portrait lenses". Rather, portrait lenses are a subgroup of lenses that all have and produce desirable characteristics when used for shooting portraiture.
As others have mentioned, most lenses that fall into the "portrait" category have wide apertures and are in the mid-focal range (24-105mm) (though it isn't uncommon to use telephoto lenses from further away and zooming in). Beyond that, what a lens can produce is really just at the mercy of the photographer's own creativity.
It all depends on what you're attempting to achieve in a portrait. Prime lenses (fixed-focal length) with a low F-number (wider aperture) are fantastic for head shots and mid-shots (I call them busts...mid-chest and up). Telephotos are great for full body shots (further away from the subject, zooming in).
There are a wide array of affordable lenses for portrait photography, with the most popular and affordable being the "Nifty 50" that some have mentioned and is a favorite around here. It's about a $120 lens that is 50mm f1.8 which will allow for fantastic depth-of-field for closeups and busts. If you're looking into getting into portraiture, this is a phenomenal lens to start with.
Just about any lens can be used as a portrait lens, but the attributes you typically look for include:
These attributes make prime lenses popular candidates for portraits. As long as you're controlling the setting of your shot and you don't need to switch focal lengths rapidly, you don't need the flexibility of a zoom lens, and it's tough to beat the optical speed and sharpness of a prime lens (especially if you factor in budget).
My personal favourite is a Sigma 28-105mm f2.8 easy to use and with short depth of field for snappy portraits.
On a technical point there's also a payoff between lens length, subject distortion, and the room required to work in.
A short lens used close to the subject can produce a distorted 'big nosed' image. A long lens will produce a flatter image but at the expense of needing to be a long way from the subject thanks to the minimum focus distance and so needing more room to work in.
This is why I like the 28-105 because my studio (AKA front room) is of limited size making 200mm lenses impossible to use. The fixed aperture means that there's no increase in depth of field when zooming in, leaving nice sharp images.

The Radon transform apparently was discovered around 1917 if Wikipedia is to be believed. The Cauchy-Crofton theorem is a much older theorem (mid 19th-century). But both ideas are more or less the same.
Did Radon consider his transform as a generalization of the Cauchy-Crofton theorem? Did he not know about the Cauchy-Crofton theorem?

Confrontation is a huge part of my life.
For example, in my job as project manager I need to confront clients about things that might make them upset or I need to talk to them when I know they are upset about something.
The other is in dating where if I go out on a couple of dates with a guy and then decide I am not interested in him, I want to tell him in the most sensitive way - usually through a phone call - but I am frozen by fear, thinking about the confrontation involved.
Basically, I spent a lot of my time dreading the confrontation in my life.
Are there techniques one could use to stop fearing confrontation so intensely?

I'm coding a Python - Google App Engine application. There are 2 important things this app must do:
- Write in user's calendar.
- Write in user's profile (working with users in a Google Apps domain)
First operation is easy. If I understood OAuth, this is the classical 3-legged scenario. The scenario for which OAuth was originally developed. The logged user provides credentials to the client (my app) to access the user's data (calendar) on his/her behalf. So, this can be done just with the logged user's credentials.
Second operation is not so easy. It can't be done with just the logged user's credentials. This is a 2-legged OAuth scenario. So, I need to delegate in a Google Apps domain admin's account to access the users's profiles using Google Profiles API (via google data library). So far, I hardcode admin user/password in a json file, and my app loads that file. But that sounds kind of dirty for me.
At the end, my app needs to handle the classical 3-legged OAuth scenario (no problem, just need the logged user's credentials) plus a 2-legged OAuth scenario (need administrator credentials).
Is there any official or more elegant way to handle both scenarios in Google App Engine, working with Google Apps domain, that hardcoding admin credentials?
Many thanks in advance

Many people think that certain foods, like lasagna, many stews and hearty soups, tomato sauce and so forth taste better the next day. My question is, is that really true, and if so, why? The conventional answer is essentially, "the flavors marry", but that doesn't mean much. I asked this question on Dave Arnold's Cooking Issues podcast and he had some interesting answers but I'm curious to see what else this community will come up with.
For pastas at least, the noodles have a chance to absorb more flavor directly into the bland noodles. Same with potatoes in stews.
If the dish cools and is then reheated, more water is lost into the air. This effectively reduces the dish and intensifies flavors.
In the Good Eats episode "Stew Romance", Alton Brown says
(Note that, as usual for Alton, his science is sound, but his other "facts" are to be taken with a huge grain of salt. For instance, the dish he makes that he calls Hungarian Goulash isn't Hungarian and isn't goulash. And the actual Hungarian stew that most Americans think is goulash is pörkölt. I haven't the foggiest idea where he got "pörkoft" from. Oh, and potatoes are very much a standard part of goulash, that's part of what distinguishes goulash from pörkölt.)
In any case where the flavours are water soluble, and the main ingredients soak up water, this will happen. This is especially true for soups, stews and lentil dishes. It holds equally though for anything cooked in water.
I noticed it particularly in my lentil dahls. In the vening, when it's just come off the fire, the water seems a little grainy, and the dish doesn't have the right flavour. The next morning, the spices have dissolved better, and the water/spice solution has soaked into the lentils.
During cooking we have the active chemical processes occurring. However, much like any other chemical process, the decay of the compound created is just as metamorphic.
Heat excites the passive transport processes but also cauterizes food making it useless after a certain point for flavor infusion. The cooling and re-pressurizing undergone in the refrigerator will cause flavors to continue redistributing themselves without further cooking the food (duh) and cause the fat and water layers to redistribute themselves only to be reincorporated during the re-heating process.
For soups, stocks, sauces, chilis, or any preparation/recipe that tends to have a lot of loose fat, refrigerating it for several hours will cause the fat to congeal at the top, at which point it is easily skimmed off. That will definitely give it a less greasy texture and flavour.
I'm not sure if that's the kind of answer you were looking for, but since you did explicitly mention stews, soups, and sauces, this is likely to apply. I think many people skim the fat off without consciously knowing what they're doing (I always used to do it before I really understood what was going on), and as a result, the reheated food has a heartier flavour.
I heard a theory from a professional chef that it is a concept similar to the tempering of chocolate which has to be alternately heated and cooled to exact temperatures to come out right.
Also, a little alcohol can release flavours you get from non water soluble compounds.
My personal theory is that as I cook a dish, I get habituated/desensitized to the aromas through extended exposure. The next day, I'm experiencing all those intense aromas and flavors fresh, and so they feel much intense, and I enjoy the dish more.
Have you ever cooked a dish with a strong aroma, say a tomato sauce? The aroma of onions, garlic, tomatoes, etc. will fill the kitchen and maybe even the whole house. Say you leave it simmering on the stove while you go outside for 10 minutes... when you come back in, the aromas will feel incredibly intense as you have let your smell receptors relax and partially restore their supplies of neurotransmitters.

Continuing Education Blog
PNCA offers evening and weekend classes for adults and young people. For adults we offer courses in art, craft, and design, as well as professional development classes. For children we have Saturday classes during the school year and week-long camps during the summer. In addition to our regular teen classes, we also offer immersive summer Pre-College Studios. Our blog below gives you an idea of some of the goings on, and you can see our full course catalogue online here.
A visit to the Stagecraft Building.
Students in Wayne Bund's Art Explorers class visited our 3D Building and Ceramic Studio this week. They ventured out of their regular classroom in our Goodman Building to glaze some recently fired sculptural work. After arriving to the space, Wayne gave a brief explanation of how a kiln works, and at what temperature their artwork was fired. The kids were quite impressed with how hot a kiln gets when it is firing at Cone 6. Students were then allowed to get close to, but not touch, a kiln in mid-fire to feel the heat emanating from it. Afterwords, students glazed their work and did a super awesome job cleaning the space once their class was complete!
Evening Classes at PNCA
Our Continuing Education Program has been up to a lot in recent weeks. Classes are moving right along and some great art is in the works. Check out more images from the classrooms of our current offerings at our Flickr Site. If you would like to learn more about upcoming classes, check out our Registration Site for more details. Big thanks to our good friend Wayne Bund for taking such lovely photos of Beginning Drawing: Perception Skills with Kurt Hollomon, Beginning Painting with Jerry Sumpter, and Web Design Tools with Sarah Schlosser Moon
Pre-College Painting Studio
The Pre-College Studios is still a few months away; July 16 to August 3. But we wanted to give you a preview of the type of work that comes out of our Program! Above is some stellar artwork from our Painting Studio with CE and BFA Instructor Benny Fountain.
Waterlilies Reinterpreted
Instructor Wayne Bund worked with our Art Explorers students on Saturday, teaching our youngest cohort about watercolor techniques and more specifically, Monet's Waterlilies series. Students took the project in a variety of different directions. Some interpretations stayed true to the look of the original paintings… some took a looser aesthetic. Whatever the case, all of the paintings looked great!

A BFA Thesis and Youth Classes
Former Intern and Youth Program Staff member Bob Fish visited our classes on Saturday October 22nd. As part of his BFA thesis Bob constructed a larger-than-life crayon, which is completely functional. He let students in our Art Explorers, Drawing Studio, and Visual elements classes try out the crayon at the beginning of their sessions. It was super fun!
Our Art Explorers class worked together to draw lines on a super large sheet of paper. It was pretty great to witness 8 young students draw with one large drawing tool. If you would like to see more images from Bob's visit to our classrooms check out our flickr site.
Visual Elements
Our Visual Elements class with artist and educator Kendra Larson has been going well. Students have worked on several drawings including an observed still-life. For the first two weeks of class students worked with charcoal, learning how to articulate value and space within a two-dimensional composition. During their third class session students worked with a variety of different materials and integrated color into their drawings.
Drawing from Life
This last Saturday students in Alice Hill's Drawing Studio learned about volume and shading. Alice set up a still life with strong directional light so that her students could understand how light falls on an object, and how to render that object using lights, darks, and middle greys.
The children in her class did a wonderful job transferring what they saw in reality to the pages of their sketchbooks. Afterwords, Alice had students apply the skills that they had just learned to a more complex still-life with a variety of objects, both simple and intricate, including animal and human skulls, cups, books, and two small crows. We think the kids did a great job this week! What do you think?
Tribute to Muybridge : Animals in Motion
You gotta love some hand-made animation by children under the age of 12 years old.
Take a look at this amazing robot that a student made in our Drawing Studio class with Alice Hill! Several robots made an appearance during this class including R2-D2, a Mommy Robot, and a Robot that meets all of it's owners needs including dispensing pizza.

Art Explorers
The first 2-weeks of Youth classes have been very exciting! Students seem to be jumping right into their projects with a level of energy that is contagious. This last week our Art Explorers class visited the Ceramic Studio in PNCA's StageCraft Building. Students learned how to pinch and roll clay, and the scratch/attach method. Wayne Bund, our Art Explorers instructor, has given us a sneak peak at his syllabus and it looks like there are more great projects to come. Stay tuned to what the Youth Program is up to at our Flickr Site

As programming in JavaScript, I've noticed everything that can be done with statements and blocks can be done with expressions alone. Can a programming language work fine with only expressions? And, if yes, why are statements used at all?

Sure. The simplest way is to assign a result value to every construct that's currently a statement and thereby turn it into an expression. That's not necessarily useful or meaningful though. The only potential gain is a bit of conceptual simplicity. However, if you then proceed to remove things like semicolons and loops (requiring chaining via other operators and functions instead), programs heavily using statements become ugly.
A more radical but meaningful way to do this is to design the language such that almost everything has a meaningful value, and use it in a way that you almost always use an expression for that meaningful value, not for other effects. Functional programming languages do this (to some degree; for example, Haskell has declarations, which aren't expressions).
Statements are used because in the imperative paradigm, there are many common operations which don't have a useful result value, and because the notion of sequential instructions (rather than calculations) fits that paradigm quite well. If a large percentage of your program is mutating state, rather than calculating new values, it doesn't make sense to require producing a value (what's the result of a for loop?). In contrast, when your entire paradigm (FP) is built around the calculation of values, outliers that don't have a result value don't warrant an exception: Instead you give them a sentinel result that doesn't mean a thing.
Depends on how you define "statement" and "expression".
A very strict definition would distinguish between statements as "things that have side effects, and maybe a return value" and expressions as "things that have return values, but cannot have side effects". With such a definition, no meaningful program can be written without at least one statement (which would have to evaluate an expression and output its return value) - pure expressions alone cannot interact with the world outside the program. A language alone can still be completely pure (i.e., not have any statements), if the impure part is moved out of the language and into the supporting ecosystem (which is exactly what Haskell does, although the language has definitions as well as expressions).
If, however, you allow for side effects in expressions, then the distinction between statements and expressions becomes arbitrary and much less interesting - of course you can invent a programming language that consists of expressions only; most Lisp dialects work much like that. In such a situation, evaluating an expression for its side effects is pretty much exactly the same as executing a statement, and one could argue that in such a language, expressions and statements are the same thing. The difference between a statement and an expression, then, is only syntactic.
Many languages still make this syntactic distinction, because it is useful not for technical reasons, but for readability. Making something an expression signals that you are interested in its return value, less so its side effects; making it a statement tells the reader that you intend it to cause side effects, and the return value may or may not be interesting.
Functional languages (and single assignment languages) everything is an expression. Examples are Haskal (and SISAL). Where both if statements and for loops return values.
There are other classes of languages: The easy one that springs to mind is declarative languages (I am sure there are many others that don't depend on statements). These languages don't even need expressions (in the same sense as you would normally think). You declare what is true and you can get multiple results backs. The easy one here is
ATL and Xtend are statement-less well working programming languages. Many functional languages are also statement-less. So, yes a programming language can work fine without statements. I think statements are in many languages a relict from imperative programming. They are still used because they are widely known and for some cases they make code more readable.

I'm trying to make a user that can access my server through SSH and allow it to have a shell, limited to using only, say screen and irssi. And it shouldn't it be able to see other directories except it's home folder and sub directories within it. And the usage of memory/cpu should be limited to a certain amount. How should I go about implementing it on a Centos 6.1 server?
Use use the "command" directive from the ssh authorized_keys file, and/or specify that a restricted shell (/bin/rsh) should be used for the user. The o'reilly ssh book is a key reference guide (no pun intended); or google for "restricted shell", "ssh authorization file". Some references:
Anyway, this is sort of a meta-answer pointing to other answers, but the key really is using the authorization file and specifying the command(s) that are allowed to be executed on the remote host, and/or using the restricted shell to limit access to the remote box.
First of all check please ChrootUser in /etc/ssh/sshd_config it should jail Your users (there is specific version of OpenSSH needed for that).
Second method is to install some jail software. I'm using jailkit on some servers and it's giving me all what I need.
Third possibility is probably grsec if it's still in development. :-)

The Liturgies of the Triduum
It's Holy Thursday. The Paschal Triduum is about to begin this evening with the Mass of the Lord's Supper. For Catholics these are our "high holy days," a single celebration of the Paschal Mystery spread out over three days, the center and high point of which is the Easter Vigil.
How important is it to get to the three great Triduum liturgies? For a lot of Catholics, it's getting harder and harder, because of work.
You have to scramble to get to the Mass of the Lord's Supper after work on Thursday. Then a lot of employers no longer allow time off on Good Friday. And, finally, the Easter Vigil can seem daunting by comparison to the much quicker and more familiar Mass of Easter Sunday. The Triduum is not made up of convenience liturgies. There's but one celebration of each of them. They take time. They are not an obligation.
There's a lot to be said, however, for taking the time and making the effort to participate in these non-obligatory events. There's a grandeur about these liturgies. They "tell the story" that stands at the core of the Christian faith. They tell it in the way that liturgy does best: through sign and symbol and with our own responses -- through prayer, petition, lament, and praise -- woven through them. We don't watch this on a screen. We're part of the action. Liturgy is not supposed to be a long-ago-and-far-away retelling of a sacred story, but rather a celebration of the abiding significance of these sacred events in the lives of people today.
One could write volumes about the Triduum. (It has been done.) In this blog post, however, I'd like to offer some observations about how the liturgy is constructed by way of meaning, and invite you to share your own observations.
The Holy Thursday liturgy begins the Triduum with the wonderful antiphon:
We should glory in the Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ,
in whom is our salvation, life and resurrection,
through whom we are saved and delivered.
The festive singing of the Gloria tips us off that this liturgy is not taking place as if Christ has not yet been raised. Rather, the whole paschal mystery is celebrated on each day of the Triduum. The church wears white. Bells ring. Lent is over.
The thematic focus of this liturgy is Eucharist in multiple dimensions, turning it over and over, like a jewel, to see its many facets. The institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper is remembered. Feet are washed as a sign of the call to humble service and charity, a central Eucharistic theme from St John's gospel. A special collection for the poor is taken up. And finally, the procession and reservation of the Eucharist are windows onto the abiding presence of Christ in the Eucharist, with his pilgrim people. The Holy Thursday liturgy does not end with "Go in peace," because the Triduum does not end there. It resumes the next day, in silence, as the three-day celebration continues.
Red is the color of Good Friday, the color of martyrs.
Although the piety surrounding Good Friday has attracted a good deal of "funeral" resonance—death and mourning—the liturgy itself has a different agenda. The choice of John's Passion is pivotal. Jesus reigns from the cross. His hour of glory is on the cross, for it is not simply an instrument of his humiliation and suffering but the access point of life and salvation for those who believe. The solemn intercessions are prayed, so to speak, in the shadow of the cross and in the power of the risen Christ.
For many, the individual veneration of the cross is the high point of the liturgy. Yet the "showing of the cross" at three stations, as it is brought into the church, is also a powerful ritual action. The triple showing of the cross, with its acclamations, will be paralleled by the three announcements of the light of Christ, as the paschal candle is brought into the church at the Easter Vigil.
The communion service that was added at the end, in recent times, was meant to counteract the distortion of thinking that on Good Friday Jesus is "gone" in some absolute sense. It is a very simple and modest addition to the rite. The liturgy ends in silence.
The oldest annual liturgy in the church calendar, the Easter Vigil is today celebrated in four parts: light, word, baptism, and eucharist. Others have observed, rightly I think, that these correspond to the four elements: fire, air, water, and earth, and so, in a sense, the Vigil becomes an icon of the cosmos itself.
The Service of Light begins with the lighting of the new fire. From the new fire the paschal candle is lit and processed into the church, where candles of all the participants are lit, and the Easter Proclamation (the Exsultet) is sung. In the course of its long history, this part of the liturgy has gone far beyond the ancient lucernarium, or lamp lighting, which scholars speculate was the root of this opening cluster of rites. The sung and spoken texts layer onto these actions cosmic resonances and eschatological motifs drawn from the New Testament: "the Alpha and Omega" "all time belongs to him" "the morning star which never sets" and so on.
The Liturgy of the Word is generally considered the "vigiling" portion of the Easter Vigil. What are we waiting for? Augustine observed that we have no need to wait for the Lord to rise. We vigil, rather, as a sign and symbol of the Christian life itself. All of the life of faith is a vigil, he said, as we await Christ's second coming. For one night in the year, we hold back the night as a sign of what is promised in the book of Revelation: that heavenly city in which there is no night because the Lamb is its light.
The Old Testament readings with their psalms and prayers, as many as seven, are represented in contemporary liturgical documents as telling the story of salvation. Yet the actual choices, which are generally well-rooted traditional ones, bear witness to a different organizing principle, namely a typological and mystagogical reflection on baptism. Creation, the sacrifice of Isaac, the crossing of the Red Sea, as well as the four prophetic readings, are each explicitly linked to baptism through the orations which follow them.
The Romans reading brings baptism specifically to the fore, and the gospel of the resurrection then implicitly raises the question: how is Christ rising today in our midst? The liturgy of Baptism, which follows the liturgy of the word, gives an answer to that question. The risen Christ gives life to his people. The assembly's renewal of baptismal promises, an innovation of the reforms of Pius XII in the 1950s, has assured that, even if there is no one to baptize at the Vigil, the baptismal motif is given prominence.
The Eucharist of the Easter Vigil is the first Eucharist of Easter, and the climax of the three initiatory sacraments for the newly baptized and confirmed adults. The Masses of Easter day -- an innovation of the fifth century to accommodate overflow crowds and still playing something of the same role today -- continues to ring out the joy of the resurrection.
Liturgy is ordered, but it isn't always tightly constructed. It's not an argument. It's more like poetry. It works as much through the senses of taste and touch and sight and smell as it does through hearing words or thinking thoughts or engaging in meditations. Therefore, I open this thread with an invitation to share from the fund of this rather rich and diverse sort of experience. What I've said above is only a very small sketch of things which seem to me significant. Your own experience of these liturgies will include other observations and insights.

Thanks, Rita. Not sure I really have anything to add - the three Holy Thursday actions - washing the feet (The Great Commission); the special collection; and the eucharist have always touched our family.
Thought that this summary by Michael Sean Winters was apropos:
And one other describing a new short but excellent book by Fr. Imbelli:

I especially like the Easter Vigil because of my RCIA class and being baptised as an adult. But I'm sure I'm an exception to the rule in that all the liturgical stuff actually makes the real events they're about seem distant and abstract, almost as if the symbols become more important than what they represent. Watching a movie like The Gospel of John makes it all more moving to me. Here's a clop from the movie of Jesus washing the disciples' feet ...
<iframe width="300" height="169" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/ufaUNGSbYE8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Work, yes. Also, failing health.
I am privileged to preside on all four days at a girls' international school -- did the washing of the feet for the first time in my life -- but stumbled over the horrible English translations of the EPs-- could not bring myself to read EP1 and read a doctored version of EP2 instead (my usual congregation are old sisters who have kept the 1973 translations).
Joseph O'Leary, wait until you get to the Exsultet. You'll choke. It's sawdust. Barely English at all.
Thank God that even the butchered translation cannot kill the beauty of the Exsultet. But this is the nicer version. Check it out Rits, is it the one that was abolished?http://www.catholic.org/prayers/prayer.php?p=641
Yes, Bill! That's the beautiful one that was abolished.
Thanks for sharing it here. Reading it again brought a smile. Maybe I will take it in my pocket to the Easter Vigil. Certainly those are the words I'll be singing in my heart.
The Exultet is being sung by a fine singer tonight, but I pity her having to sing those words. I'll probably use EP IV but doctoring it and assimilating it to the 1973 version. No chalice, for all, etc.
Over at America, they have revived an old column by James Martin, entitled
Is the Easter Vigil too long?
First, a thanks to Rita for this. Our family had a somewhat unorthodox Triduum this year that cast the event in a new light for reflection. This post gave that reflection a nice complement.
On the topic of vernacular sawdust, this year for me the abuse of the word "festivities" came into focus. In the preface of the 2nd Sunday of Lent, we look ahead to "the celebration of the paschal festivities," and the prayer over the fire at the Vigil voices a hope that we may "attain festivities of unending splendor." The OED casts the usage of "festivities" into the realm of "mirth" or "gaiety": not quite how I have the Eschaton or the Triduum in mind. These two usages struck me at once as perhaps the most perfect examples of what happens when the translation of the liturgy is not left to native speakers. They catapulted me out of the liturgical moment instantly and, on that 2nd Sunday, I had to supppress a giggle. Noble language, indeed.
Because of various life events (pregnancy, babies), this was my first year at the Triduum liturgies since the new translations took effect. It was great to be back -- it's no exaggeration for me to say that the Triduum, and the Easter Vigil in particular, give color and life to my practice of the faith the whole rest of the year. And I was pleased with how well everything was done at my new parish. But oh, I missed the old Missal! That "attain festivities of unending splendor" bit at the end of the blessing of the fire is such a bum note to start the procession on. And I'm still cringing whenever I hear "or they offer it for themselves..." in the Eucharistic Prayer.
The other bum note for me was a visual one -- the all-male lineup for the footwashing on Thursday night. I wasn't surprised that our pastor stuck to the letter of the law and included "viri" only, but it just looked so wrong to have a solid wall of men on the altar representing "us." A couple of generations ago you might not have thought twice about it, but now all I could think of as I watched was how not-representative the group was -- especially when all of the other lay roles, from altar server to usher, were filled by both men and women. The all-maleness of that one group called attention to itself, and that totally confused the symbolism of the act: is the pastor committing himself to serving us, his congregation, and encouraging us to serve each other? Or is this some sort of skit, with the priest pretending to be Jesus, and all these other men pretending to be apostles?
Mollie, unfortunately the all-male line-up is a kick in the stomach for women at all liturgies in the Catholic church. I attended the Easter Vigil at the Washington National Cathedral. Later, after reading several articles about the Easter Vigil liturgy here, I looked up the mass at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, across town from the Cathedral.
Link to vigil at the Shrine:
Fast forward the video at the shrine - at the Shrine there are I don't know how many men on the altar - I didn't count. At the Cathedral, there are three men and three women. At the Cathedral, the Bishop (a woman) presided, assisted by the Cathedral Canon (a woman) and another priest (another woman). The Dean of the Cathedral (a man) gave the homily. At least at the Shrine there were women readers.

In some older learning material I came across, they use 「電話をかける」 for "to make a telephone call". When/why did this come to be replaced by 「電話する」 in popular usage?

It randomly occurred to me today that while these are indeed similar in meaning, they are not always interchangeable. If you're talking about making a call to someone/somewhere, either can be used:
But 電話する can also be a joint action. Consider the following:
(Technically you could argue that the second sentence is grammatically correct, but the picture it gives is that of two people dialing the same phone together, so it doesn't match the meaning of the first.)
So while 電話する can be used in both a directional (calling to someone/somewhere) and a joint (talking on the phone with someone) sense, 電話をかける can only be used in a directional sense.
As a purely speculatory note, it may be that 電話する is more common today because it covers more cases than 電話をかける, which may lead you to think that 電話をかける is on the way out.
I feel like 電話をかける is more formal when writing. And there is 電話のかけ方 (How to make a call) but I don't think people use 電話し方.
But of course there is Keigo usage like お電話させていただきます, 電話する would be more popular.
In the older usage, 電話 is the noun, and をかける is the verb. That is, the act of using a telephone.
Nowadays, we just add the ending するto 電話 in order to making "telephone" a verb. That is, the act of "telephoning."

It looks like this is a bug that was fixed in an post-RTM update. So the real solution would be to install Service Pack 1 (or later, if available).
I stumbled upon this issue on a client's farm. They weren't yet ready to install the Service Pack and the 'EncodeTitle' solution didn't work for me. So I fixed it by including the following piece of Javascript (also using jQuery).

Hi friends!
I'd like to use your HexEditor component within my application but I stuck on something...
I saw that you provide a method in the HexEditor for the registration of listeners who want to be notified if the content of the HexEditor has changed. It's my intention to display specific information if the user moves the caret or selects something. I cannot find any possibility to react on these events.
Do you have any advices to me, or is this feature planned?
Best regards

A few months back I made beer-batter fish. I don't remember the exact recipe I used but I think I got it from foodnetwork.com. I fried in vegetable oil at 350. Everything came out OK, but the breading seemed to peel clean off of the fish while eating rather than sticking to it. Are there any tricks for prep/cook to prevent this from happening?
I usually dredge the fish in plain flour first and then the beer batter. I actually made beer battered fish tacos for dinner last night and the batter stuck perfectly.
It probably also depends on your batter consistency. The recipe I use says the batter should be slightly more liquid than pancake batter.
Give your fish a light dusting of corn starch before dredging in the batter. Flour works to some extent but without gluten formation flour is working as a drying agent more than anything else. Corn starch is, as its name implies, a starch which will actually act as a weak glue when heated wet. Just don't pile it on. dredge each fillet in the corn starch and tap off the excess until you're left with a thin, uniform layer. Your batter will stick to the corn starch, which will stick to the fish.
If you did AB's recipe, you need to lightly dredge the fish in cornstarch as @yock mentioned. You should also make sure that the batter is cold -refrigerate for 15 minutes to an hour at most. It turns out pretty good if you follow that recipe.
If it's English style beer battered fish the batter "shouldn't" stick to the fish otherwise it will be too dry or soggy depending on which way you go rather than light and crisp. To be light and crisp it should not adhere to the surface of the fish too closely.
Breaded fish is a different matter. Take a look at the pic here:
Pretty sure that the problem you are having is moisture; here's how I do it.
Take the fillets, pack them with flour and set them on a wire trivet and let them dry a bit and then shake them off then let them dry some more. When the outside of the fish is dry to the touch I dip them carefully in the batter and cook them. This method seals the fish inside the batter 'envelope' holding in the juices for that first delicious bite.
Note that if the batter is too thick the outside of the batter will contract so much faster than the inside that it will crack, allowing fat in and letting the juices out.
While the last of the fish is cooking I will add an egg, some cornmeal and spices etc to the left over batter and make hush puppies in the same pan I cooked the fish in.
Be sure to pat the fish dry as completely as you can. Don't salt the fish beforehand to avoid drawing out any moisture.
Also, like Frankie suggested, dip the fish slowly into the oil. Dipping it slowly allows some of the initial moisture to escape and lets the batter cling to the fish before there's a shell of batter holding in all the moisture.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -- Topeka Police say a couple was carjacked by a man they were offering a ride to Wednesday evening.
Officers were dispatched to the area of the 1100 block of SE Gilmore to investigate a carjacking robbery. They discovered a man and his girlfriend were at the Walgreen's at 10th & Topeka Boulevard when they met the suspect, who offered to pay money for a ride to the 10th & Golden area. The couple told police they were driving toward that area anyway so they agreed to give the man a ride.
The victim dropped off his girlfriend and the suspect jumped in the front seat, police say. The suspect told the man to get out of the car - a white Chevy Cavalier - or he would hurt him. He told the victim he had a gun, but never showed one. The victim got out of the vehicle and the man took off.
After the victim called police, a description of the car was put out and officers found it in the area of 6th & Branner. When the officer tried to pull him over, the driver fled, leading a chase down several streets and even getting onto I-70.
The chase headed east on I-70. Police say the driver exited onto California, lost control, hit a median strip, became airborne, then came to a stop on the south curb of 13th Street at California.
The vehicle was wrecked, but the driver didn't give him. He ran from the accident, but was caught by officers in a backyard in the area.
The suspect was identified as Don A. Womack Jr., 37. He was arrested on charges of aggravated robbery, criminal damage, felony obstruction, felony fleeing and eluding, reckless driving, driving on a suspended license and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Womack was interviewed by detectives before being taken to the Shawnee County Department of Corrections.

Family History of Breast Cancer
Jill E. Stopfer
Last Modified: November 1, 2001
I have a strong family history of breast cancer in my family. My maternal grandmother had it, as did all three of her daughters, one of which is my mother. One of her daughters died from it, the other two, including my mother are still living. My grandmother is also still living. I am the only daughter out of the three daughters that have had cancer, and so of course I'm very worried about my chances to get it. We are all very willing to be a part of a study or research or anything that could further help your study of this terrible disease.
Thank you.
Jill E. Stopfer, MS Certified Genetic Counselor for the University of Pennsylvania Cancer Risk Evaluation Programs, responds:
Regarding your desire to be involved in a research projectYou will need to find a a cancer genetics program in your area. You may use the NCI database. In preparing for your evaluation, you will want to try to find out as much as you can about who has had any type of cancer in her family, and also get information about their ages at the time of diagnosis. Many programs also try to collect pathology reports on all those affected with cancer, so asking where the relative with cancer had their cancer surgery is also helpful.

One friend told me she wore black for a month. Many others say they stopped counting at 39. There's something about turning 40 that seems to strike fear in the hearts of women especially.
I'm usually not one to fuss a lot over my birthday, but I found myself mentioning this one annoyingly often. Perhaps I thought if I said it out loud enough I would really believe it. For me, it's not so much the thought that I'm 40 as it is, "How on earth did this happen?!"
I don't feel like I'm 40. How is that supposed to feel, anyway? I don't consider myself old. I don't feel like I've run out of time to do all those things that we're supposed to have written on some arbitrary list.
I do feel like I've come a long way in my life. I've had wonderful experiences professionally and I still feel challenged by my career. I've had the opportunity to travel to places I only dreamed I'd see, like Greece and Italy and Australia. I found my soulmate and best friend and, though life may not have played out exactly like the fairy tale we'd written, there's still plenty of happily in our ever after.
Turning 40 does, however, make one reflect on one's life. Every creak of the knee and crack of the back reminds me that I can't deny I'm not as young as I once was. The conclusion I reached, however, is that life is pretty good and has the potential to get even better. It's the glass-half-full scenario. You could look at the same glass as half empty, but that would cheat yourself out of enjoying all that remains. I choose not to dwell on how much of life has passed, but on all that lies ahead. That's where the focus needs to be. I'm not done yet. I may not be sure what exactly it is I have left to do, but I do know the next part of the story is only beginning!

Awesome deal! Now I can craft myself that beer cozy I always wanted.
Not that I enjoy the money spent, but definitely repped b/c you'll make my wife happy with me for at least the hour and a half she'll spend driving there and shopping. Well worth it.
question - it says 'no photocopies or multiple print outs' -- so is this a 1 time use printable coupon? if everyone is printing and using the same coupon won't it be denied or is that just standard gobbeldy-gook they put on all coupons, and I can print and use as many as I like (assuming I use in separate transactions). (Holy run on sentence. Sorry 'bout that)

Hi everybody!
Ive bought a NN5 Lite yesterday and now trying to make 360 panoramas in ptgui with my canon. But unfortunately I always get small parallax errors. I am trying to solve this problem, but... :-\ So I think, that it depends on my NN5 settings, the camera is not on the list and so I experiment with different positions, but nothing helps.. (Ive read all comments, how to find the right point, but I cannot manage it). So if somebody has an idea, how the settings should be, I would appreciate the advice!
Thank you in advance!

Race to Replace Jackson Lacks Star Power
The contest to replace Jesse Jackson Jr., who resigned from the U.S. House last month amid a federal investigation, has also become a scramble to fill a leadership void in Chicago's African-American community.
Ahead of the Feb. 26 Democratic primary and the April 9 special election to fill the seat, at least a dozen potential candidates have indicated they might run, including current and former state legislators, and a former NFL star and restaurateur. Several contenders bring considerable experience to the field—such as Cook County Administrative Officer Robin Kelly and Illinois State Senator Toi Hutchinson—but none approaches the star power or clout of Mr. Jackson.
The would-be successors also include former Rep. Mel Reynolds, who resigned from the same seat in 1995 after being convicted on multiple counts of sexual assault, and Illinois State Sen. Donne Trotter, who was arrested at O'Hare International Airport on Wednesday when he allegedly tried to board a flight with a handgun in his carry-on luggage. Mr. Trotter was charged with a felony Thursday and released after posting bail.
Chicago has produced a number of the nation's most prominent national black political figures—including Mr. Jackson and his father, Rev. Jesse Jackson, the civil rights leader and former presidential candidate. Three of the four African-American U.S. Senators since Reconstruction have had Chicago roots, including Carol Moseley Braun, the first black female senator and Barack Obama, who went on to become the first African-American president.
But few potential stars have arisen since Mr. Obama's ascent. Roland Burris, who was appointed to replace Mr. Obama in the Senate, didn't run in the special election for the seat in 2010. Also that year, no major black contenders competed in the race to succeed Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley, which was won by Democrat Rahm Emanuel.
Perhaps the most prominent African-American politician in Chicago today is Toni Preckwinkle, president of the board of Cook County, which includes the city. But she has said she won't run for Mr. Jackson's former district, which has been represented by an African-American for three decades.
Mr. Jackson, first elected to the House in 1995, had risen to prominence in the Democratic Party and easily won re-election last month before he resigned. He said he wanted to focus on his health and that he was cooperating with federal investigators. People familiar with the probe said it was looking at possible misuse of campaign money to decorate Mr. Jackson's home.
"We haven't seen anyone who emerged since young Jesse who could put a good political organization together," said Don Rose, a veteran Democratic political organizer in Chicago and one-time aide to Martin Luther King Jr. Mr. Rose attributes part of the vacuum to the short tenure of Harold Washington, Chicago's first black mayor, who was elected in 1983 and died in office in 1987. "If he had lived five more years he would have developed a secondary tier of leadership and there might be another five or six people who would have developed under him," Mr. Rose said.
Mr. Obama, the most obvious beneficiary of Mr. Washington's legacy, has developed a formidable political machine as president but didn't build an organization in Chicago that cultivated other rising black politicians, said Mr. Rose. The area's two other black congressmen, Bobby Rush and Danny Davis, were well-established by the time Mr. Obama rose to prominence.
"I think we've got some talented leaders but the pipeline to get them into leadership positions is, quite frankly, not always very effective," said Lemont Baker, a resident of Chicago's South Side who lives in the district and owns a business producing and promoting entertainment content. "You've got community organizations and the Democratic political machine and sometimes there's conflict between the two and you don't get what's in the best interest of the community."
Mr. Jackson's former district was redrawn after the 2010 census in a way that in a way that reduced the sway of African-American voters. It still includes a large swath of Chicago's heavily African-American South Side, but also includes many mostly white rural and exurban communities.
Ms. Kelly, the Cook County official who is African-American, said she thinks race won't be as central in this election as it has been in years past. "The winner will have to attract a more diverse base of support," she said.
Among the most established candidates for Mr. Jackson's former seat is Democrat Debbie Halvorson, a white former congresswoman who lost her seat in 2010 to a Republican. She lost a bid to unseat Mr. Jackson in the Democratic primary in March by more than 40 percentage points.
She is banking on her name recognition and the possibility that several African-American candidates will split the black vote in the Democratic primary. "It's no longer an African-American only district," Ms. Halvorson said.

Our Domino developer told us that it is "technologically impossible" to move subdocuments between documents. Is this true?
Earlier this year he wrote for us a course registration system with the following database diagram:
Now we asked him how to move waitlisted registrants from the full training sessions to those sessions that are not. He said it is impossible. He said we need to re-enter (recreate, copy and paste manually) the waitlist records because Domino cannot move attendees from one session to another.
We have over 1000 attendees in our waitlists.
Is he correct? Is this for real? We hope for a solution.

Hi all,
I have to find a set of parameters that fit to a set of data with constraint to a subset of the parameters. In summary, I want to solve $\min ||A[x_1 \, x_2]^T -b ||$ given $||x_2|| = g$.
I thought the problem is trivial but it turns out that it is not trivial at all. Lagrange multiplier approach gives a very complicated matrix equation (still not solvable for me). Any idea, or numerical/analytical solution, is greatly appreciated.

I assume I should look into intellectual property law, copyright law, and money management, but what else would be good to know? My ideal goal is to be able to handle all legal/monetary business internally, without hiring an outside lawyer.
I'm also starting an indie development company. I'm not very experienced in this matter, but here is what I'm going to do:
Have a low-risk pay model (no-one gets paid a cent until the company has recouped the initiation costs of the project, after that people get paid a percentage of money from that project depending on how much work they did, the company gets a percentage too)
Learn about bankruptcy - If you're in a business structure with Unlimited Liability it is important that you understand the risks you are taking. If the risk is too big you may wish to fork out extra to get a Limited Liability business.
Don't copy other people's stuff unless it is free domain or you have written permission. Even then be careful.
If you ever need to take someone else to court because they copied your stuff, hire a lawyer. Seriously.
It's not much info, but I hope it helps.

VISN 22 VA Chiropractic Care Residency Training Program
VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System (VAGLA)
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) conducts the country's largest healthcare provider clinical training program. In July 2014, VA will initiate chiropractic residency training programs at five VA medical centers with one of the programs being awarded to VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System, part of VISN 22. The focus of this program is Integrated Clinical Practice, with training emphasizing the provision of chiropractic care in an integrated healthcare system, collaborating with primary care Patient Aligned Care Teams (PACTs), specialty care, and other medical and associated health providers and trainees.
The residencies provide advanced clinical training in complex case management, allowing recent graduates to increase their scope and depth of clinical knowledge, experience and acumen. Residents are mentored by senior VA chiropractors who are national leaders in integrated chiropractic practice. These clinicians share their expertise in patient care, academics and research to provide a robust educational experience.
These hospital-based training programs expand the residents' ability to collaborate with other healthcare professionals in team care, as trainees learn with and from other healthcare providers during interdisciplinary rotations. Residents develop their knowledge of hospital practice, policies and procedures, and are better prepared for future positions in VA, other healthcare systems, and/or academic settings.
Programs are administered nationally by VA's Office of Academic Affiliations and locally by the individual VA facility. Each VA facility partners with its affiliated Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE) accredited chiropractic school in conducting the program. The academic affiliate for the residency program in VISN 22 is Southern California University of Health Sciences (SCU).
Training will take place at VAGLA, and may also include other sites such as SCU or other affiliated locations.
Curricular Overview
Residents will provide full diagnostic and management services of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions under the mentorship of senior VA doctors of chiropractic (DCs). This will include team-based management of complex conditions in collaboration with other medical specialists and healthcare providers. Residents will also engage in clinical educational rotations through services including primary care, medical and/or surgical specialties, mental health, and rehabilitation disciplines. Additionally, residents will participate in various scholarly activities and will attend and give presentations at multiple academic/research venues of the VA facility and/or its affiliates. All VA residencies meet the same national standards, yet each program is unique, and training experiences and opportunities will differ somewhat at different sites.
Eligibility Requirements
Programs will be open to applicants who hold a DC degree from a CCE-accredited program. Applicants must have a current, full, active, and unrestricted chiropractic license in a State, Territory or Commonwealth of the United States, or in the District of Columbia, or be eligible for such licensure. Applicants must meet all VA employment requirements including United States citizenship, and Selective Service registration when applicable.
Programs are full-time (40 hours/week) for 12 months. Additional weekly time may be needed for scholarly or other training activities. Programs run from July 1 to June 30.
Salary is $40,691 per year and is based on geographic location. Residents receive paid Federal holidays, and accrue vacation and sick leave. Residents are also eligible for life and health insurance. Residents will be protected from personal liability while providing professional services at a VA health care facility under the Federal Employees Liability Reform and Tort Compensation Act, 28 U.S.C. 2679 (b)-(d).
Application Process
The minimum specific requirements the applicant must meet for residency consideration include the following:
- The applicant will have achieved a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale or equivalent in chiropractic college.
- The applicant must have earned a DC degree from an accredited chiropractic college prior to July 1st 2014.
- Have a current, full, active, and unrestricted chiropractic license in a State, Territory or Commonwealth of the United States, or in the District of Columbia, or be eligible for such licensure.
- The applicant must have successfully complete Parts I, II & III of the NBCE Boards; each applicant is required to successfully complete part IV of the NBCE Boards and have scores submitted as soon as available.
- The applicant must be a citizen of the United States
- Selection of residents will be made without regard to race, color, national origin, sex, age, or sexual orientation.
Applications complete with supporting documentation and consistent with the request for application guidelines must be received electronically by February 21, 2014 to be fully considered. To apply for VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System, send applications and supporting documents to firstname.lastname@example.com.
The following documents are required to be submitted:
- Curriculum Vitae
- VA Chiropractic Residency Application
- Three letters of recommendations on VA Chiropractic Residency Recommendation forms
A committee of program faculty including representation by the academic affiliate as appropriate will take part in the review of applications for all of the minimally acceptable candidates. The resident will ultimately be selected following an interview process for the most qualified candidates. Telephone interviews may be arranged in instances when a visit cannot be scheduled. The selected resident will receive a letter of appointment from VA confirming the applicant's acceptance of the position and providing information regarding the duration of the program, hours of attendance, and compensation. Applicants will be informed in writing of the decision of the committee. Selection of the resident is anticipated to be completed on or before April 1st, 2014.
Description of the residency program is included below.
VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System
11301 Wilshire Blvd
Bldg. 304, RM 113
Los Angeles, CA 90073-1003
Chiropractic Residency Director: Valerie Johnson, DC, DABCI
Associate Chief of Staff, Education: Arthur H. Friedlander, DMD
The VA Greater Los Angeles Health Administration (VAGLA) directs the Department of Veterans Affairs largest educational enterprise. We serve as a major training site for the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine and USC School of Medicine, as well as more than 45 colleges, universities and vocational schools in 17 different medical, nursing, paramedical and administrative programs. In addition to the new chiropractic residency training program, this institution sponsors 16 medical residencies and numerous associated health residencies and internships in dentistry, podiatry, optometry, pharmacy, clinical psychology, social work and dietetics.
Chiropractic Care Residency Training Program
The Chiropractic Clinical Residency program is designed to facilitate the development of chiropractic clinicians in an integrative medical setting with an emphasis on advanced clinical training and academic practices. We are dedicated to providing quality patient centered care to our Veteran patient population base with multiple co-morbidities using evidence-based methods. The program offers our chiropractic resident a wide diversity of experience in a major academic medical center and is located in the newly remodeled Poly Trauma Center, part of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.
We offer an outstanding clinical experience in various interdisciplinary settings under the direct guidance of faculty through observational training rotations in VAGLA General PM&R clinic, Multidisciplinary Pain, Amputee, Shoe & Brace/Wheelchair, Cardiac Rehab/ETT, Neurolysis, Electrodiagnosis, Functional Capacity, Polytrauma and Inpatient PM&R services. The CCRP resident will observe how physical injuries, disabilities and reconditioning problems are assessed and managed on a routine basis. The resident will participate in weekly formal didactic sessions already established and provided by PM&RS department faculty. Additional interprofessional clinical training rotations include the Department of Surgery, Department of Mental Health, Primary Care, Physical Therapy, and Inpatient Pain Services.
Non VAGLA rotations are available in SCU Health System at its University Health Center's Spine Care and Sports Medicine Clinic. CCRP residents will be able to join Diagnostic Imaging residents in observational radiology film-reading rotations at the University of Southern California, Keck School of Medicine. Additional non VA rotation opportunities in multispecialty interprofessional healthcare groups with SCU are available at other locations.
Graduates of this program will be exceptionally prepared to practice in VA and other healthcare systems; however completion of this residency does not ensure employment in VA or elsewhere.
Thank you for your interest in VAGLA's Chiropractic Care Residency training Program.

As fans of CHF no doubt know, alchemy was once the name given to "the science of matter;" only around the latter half of the sixteenth century did the term chemistry begin to appear in Western sources. The theories behind this shift in use, and the source of the root word – chem – nicely encapsulates the history of chemistry itself, and the questions that remain about its origins.
