Founded in 1987 we have been serving Great Falls and the surounding areas for many years.
Choosing a good care facility for your pet is an important decision and should be made with care and deliberation. We encourage you to inspect each facility before making your decision. Cleanliness and lots of Tender Loving Care are the keys to making your pets stay with us happy and comfortable. Our staff is passionate about the care of your pets and we offer you peace of mind as we provide your pets a safe and fun experience while you are away. Your pet will come home tired, but happy. We encourage you to come in and tour our facility.
We are the boarding facility that others try to emulate
When we opened our doors in early 1988 we called all our guests VIPs (Very Important Pets) because that is what they are to us. Now many of the existing facilities refer to their boarders as VIP's or have VIP Boarding Packages. There are many things we have done over the years that others now try to imitate.
They say that "Imitation is the highest form of flattery", but we believe the original is still the best.
We try to offer the best possible care for your furry family member. Always have, always will!

CHECKING IN & OUT:Back to Services
Check Out Time is 10:00 AM. Pets checked Out prior to 10:00 AM (Mon-Sat) are not charged for that day. Pets will be charged for the day they check in regardless of the time of day. Checking In or Out, outside of regular business hours is a $25.00 charge and must be pre-arranged. We will not check in/out before 7:00 am or after 8:00 pm.
Reservations must be cancelled 24 hours prior to the day of check in or a charge could be incurred. If you do not cancel and fail to show up you will be billed a 3 day charge. Accounts not paying will be turned over for collection.
YOU must supply any/all medication your pet may need during its stay with us. We will not give prescription medication a vet has not prescribed
Insulin injections ...... $1.00/each time. | Pills & Vitamins ......... $.50/per time.
Closed Holidays. Minimum Charge for Holidays is a 3 day charge.
We feed only quality canned and dry food. If you wish to bring your own we ask that you bring only what your pet will need for his/her stay and it must be in some type of a solid container. Any additional bedding you provide must be machine washable. If it is a large dog pillow the cover must be removeable. Clean bedding is provided and washed daily. Sleeping bags, quilts, packing blankets are NOT acceptable. If your dog starts chewing up the bedding it will be removed.
Do not feed your pet for 2 hours before or after boarding to prevent stomach upset. Give water in small amounts during this time. Your pet will be excited to be back home and may gulp food or water too fast which could cause bloating (this can be fatal) or vomiting.
We are not responsible for items left here that may be destroyed by your pet or lost. You as the pet owner are responsible for any property that your pet may damage or destroy while staying here.
Even though we require the Bordatella vaccination this is not a guarantee that your pet will not pick this up. Because it is an airborne virus they can actually get it from the neighbor dog, at the park, boarding facility, veterinary office, etc. You can actually pick it up on your clothes anywhere and take it home to your dog. There is always a chance your pets immunity to this is lower than others. No vaccine is a 100% guarantee. As a rule there is an 8-10 day incubation period before your dog may start to show signs of this virus.
All our guests are treated to very special, private and personalized service. Easy listening music is piped in for their listening pleasure. Canine guests enjoy romping in our play areas three times per day, individually.
We pride ourselves in being animal lovers and appreciate the special personality of each of our guests. We strive VERY hard to keep a spotless facility at all times.
Should we feel that for any reason your pet needs veterinary attention we will make every attempt to contact your regular veterinarian. However, if we feel that we have an emergency situation and your vet is not immediately available we may contact another.
We are not responsible for items that you leave, get lost or your pet chews up. Bedding is changed and washed daily, so any extra bedding you do bring MUST be machine washable. If the item is a large dog pillow, the cover MUST be removable.
Large skylights along with overhead lighting keep our boarding area bright and our large air exchange system runs 24/7 constantly bringing in fresh outside air. Each dog is taken out individually three times a day. This gives us the opportunity to handle each dog, watch its movement and observe its overall personality, attitude and health. When dogs are taken out in groups you can not focus on each dog. Many boarding facilities exercise the dogs in groups. We prefer a more personal approach. We do offer a community play time which is in addition to the 3 regular outings, but only if we have multiple customers requesting this and we are sure the temperments and sizes of the dogs will work well together.Book Dates
Room sizes range from 4' x 8' to 4' x 18'. Each room has a raised bed for sleeping and stainless steel bowls. We also have a few theme suites available that are much larger.
We have a pool for the dogs to play and swim in during those hot dog days of summer. If your dog loves water, ask for a Buddy Time or Pool Time.
EXTRA WALK or OUT TIME:
Instead of 3 outings per day (standard) you can schedule as many as you would like for an additional fee.
This is an additional outing of 15 minutes, in our large yard. Any dogs boarding together go out together for no additional charge. Buddy Time includes: chasing balls, playing tug, getting hug's and belly rubs, playing in the pool(summer months only) or whatever special attention your VIP enjoys. Weather permitting.
These range in size from 9' X 10' to 10' X 16'.
Barking Sands, Field & Stream and the Ball Room
These are available by reservation only. Included are the regular 3 outings per day plus a Buddy Time each day. Prices vary depending on the number of dogs being boarded in the suite.

Puppy Training & Tips for Potty Training
We hope these tips help and give you some insite to your new companion. Your puppy is never to young to start learning, so start your training right away.
The purpose of this page is focused on preventing accidents before they happen. To train your puppy to do the right thing from the start rather than trying to correct the bad behavior after it is learned.
What ever it learns, good or bad will depend on you. Now is when the work and fun begins. One of the first things I ask people when they call and say they can not get their puppy potty trained is .. "Do you have a dog crate?". Most reply "No". Often if they do have a crate, they tell me they think it is crule to confine the dog in it, or it hates being in the crate. The longer this goes on the harder it will be to break. That is why this is one of the first things I am going to address is potty training your puppy, and why it is so important.
1.) Purchase a crate if you don't already have one. (Be sure to get the right size-see below).
2.) Pick a designated potty area in your yard.
3.) Figure out what command you want your dog to learn to "potty". It is important that everyone involved in the training use the same command. The words you use are really not important. What is important is that you say the same word every time, so that it develops a meaning. You could say "sticks" instead of "potty", it doesn't matter as long as you are consistent with the same word.
4.) Set up a schedule for feeding, play, training & potty breaks (see below).
5.) Puppy proof your house!
We suggest that you purchase a dog crate that is large enough for your dog to lie down and move around in. A create is not a "cruel" thing. It is your puppys own private room where it can eat, rest and feel safe.
The dog should be able to lie down, turn, and stand up, but not enough room for them to play around in. They generally won't potty where they have to sleep. If the crate is too large, then they could relieve themselves and stay out of it, which will not encourage them to control their bowl and bladder.
Always make the crate a positive experience for your puppy. Keep some toys in there, and or give him a SMALL treat when you put him in the crate. Some puppies will cry and scream (very much like a baby being put to bed when it doesn't want to go). If you leave them alone they will usually give up after a while and lie down. We do not recommend that the puppy be left there for hours on end. Young puppies have to be let out to potty every 1-2 hours. The younger they are the shorter the period of time they can be left there.
The main purpose of the crate is that it is a "SAFE and SECURE" place that you can put your puppy when you can not be watching or playing with it. Just like a small child, you can not just turn them loose in your house and expect that you don't have to monitor them. After a while your puppy may go to its crate automatically at bed time, feeding time, or when it feels insecure.
Your puppy may not like the crate at first but don't give in to the complaining or tatrums! If you are sure your puppy is not hungry or does not have to go potty, just ignore it. Eventually he will settle down. Again, besure to give the dog a treat when you put it in the crate. We want the crate to be a positive experience.
Besure to keep your puppys crate clean. Dogs instintively want a clean place to sleep. If the puppy does have an accident in the crate, clean it good and put down fresh bedding in it. For very young puppys, especially when they first wake up, pick them up and carry them outside. Their little bladders are probably full and they may not make it all the way to the door.
Within 10-15 minutes of feeding or your puppy drinking water you should take it outside. If you puppy has just woke up from a nap, take it outside right away.
If you want your puppy to potty in the same area of the yard, be sure to keep it on a leash and keep it in that area until it does potty. Don't walk around. Stand in one spot. Don't stare at the dog, or say anything more to it. The more you move around the more the puppy will want to move around and get distracted from the business at hand. Once he/she has sniffed the area it is limited to it will pick a spot and do its business. Once it does then praise it. Now don't get overly excited here, just say, "Good dog" in a cheerful voice. If you want your dog to pretty much learn to potty on command (which can be very nice, especially if traveling with your dog or on cold winter days, then tell your dog "potty" when it does start to potty. Do this repeatedly every time you take your dog out to potty. Walk over to your designated area, calmly say "potty". After your puppy does its business, tell them "good dog!".
** One of the biggest mistakes that people make is putting their puppy out in the yard and leaving it there, then bringing it back in thinking it has done its business. Puppies have a very short attention span, and their mind will jump from the flower in the grass to the bee buzzing by to the bird that just flew over. The owner can not figure out why the puppy just went potty in the house when it had just been outside for 15 or 20 minutes. This is why it is so important to go out with the puppy EACH TIME, WATCH IT, and MAKE SURE it does its business before coming back in.
Do NOT overfeed your puppy or give it a large amount of food right before you have to crate it, or you could came back to a VERY messy crate to clean and puppy to wash. Think about yourself. Would you like to eat a large meal or drink a lot of water, and then be put in a position where you could not go to the bathroom for several hours? Please, don't ask your puppy to do this either.
Set up a feeding schedule for your puppy. If the puppy isn't done eating after 20-30 minutes, take the food away. By controlling its feeding schedule you can gain faster control and your puppy will quickly learn a reliable potty schedule.
Besure to keep your yard cleaned up of puppy stools. The stools should be firm and fairly dry. Loose, sloopy stools can be an indication of worms, health problems, stress or digestive problems.
Keep your puppies vaccinations up to date. Puppy vaccinations are givin usually 2-4 weeks apart. Be sure to get your puppy to a veterinarian and set up his vaccination and worming schedule. This is very important to keep your puppy healthy.
NERVOUS or EXCITED WETTING
Some puppies will squat and urinate when it greets you. Often at times when it is really nervous or excited. DO NOT scold your puppy for this. Most young puppies will grow out of this. Punishment will only make this problem worse.
Accidents may happen. Do not go overboard scolding your puppy. If you catch it in the act, calmly go get the puppy, tell it "NO" firmly and take it outside to the designated area. DO NOT try to rub it's nose in it. If you find the accident area after the fact it is too late to do anything about it other than clean it up and you have only yourself to blame.
Your puppy will chew up shoes and socks. It will pull toilet paper off the bathroom roller. It will grab the newspaper or your mail, and shred it into tiny tiny pieces. Electrical cords can be a favorite for some puppys, which can also hurt them very badly. So be sure that anything you don't want your new puppy to destroy, to put up out of its reach! Once it learns a bad habit like chewing things up, your training time and repair expense has just doubled. So the logic is, don't let it get a hold of what you don't want it to have. By doing nothing, you have just reinforced to the puppy that this is an OK thing to do. If you still think that you have puppy proofed your house and you don't need a crate, I can give you the names of people who have called and told how their dog chewed the wall paper off the wall, ate a hole in the door, or shredded their new carpet, rug, bed spread, chair legs, coat, etc., because they didn't crate their young dog when they ran to the store. "I was only gone for a few minutes!", they say. Once it has gotten away with this once, the next time could be even worse. This same logic holds true if you have just adopted an older dog. Until you KNOW what the dog is really like, and what good or bad habits it has, don't chance it. You can not leave a toddle alone in the house running around if you leave, so don't leave your puppy either. They are curious, and possible bored and just looking for things to get into.
* You could keep your new puppy on a leash in the house. Just let it drag it around. When you need to get control of the puppy it is a simple matter of going over, steping on the leash so the puppy can't run off and then picking up the end of the leash. If your puppy tries to chew on it, you could spray it with a product called "Bitter Apple", or when the puppy has the leash in its mouth, just give the leash a quick jerk. This makes it an uncomfortable thing to put in its mouth.
* When you do praise your puppy, do not get overly excited about praising it. If you act really excited, the puppy is so focused on you that it has no idea whats happening other than it must be time to play, jump and bark!.
* Always remember, your dog is not human. It can not speak english, and it is not a mind reader. Try to look at things from the dogs perspective when problem solving.
* If your dog is doing something wrong, a firm "NO" is usually all that is needed to stop the behavior. Do not be so loud that your pet cowers from you as it may then start to avoid you. If the dog returns to the problem item, remove the item or move the dog away from the item or to its crate for a short time.
* Never excitedly yell at your puppy. Your puppy will only learn to run away. Patience is the key to success.
* Never play "Catch me if you can". If you make a game out of this you may never catch your dog when you really need to.
* Never let you puppy growl at you, over food or anything. It may be cute when it is young, but it won't be so cute later when you reach down for it food bowl and it bites you or someone else.
* Give your puppy it's OWN toys to play with, rotate them so it does not become bored with the same toy all the time.
* Never let your puppy have personal items like an old shoe. It does not know the difference between an old shoe and your new shoes!
* Always be patient and positive.
NOTE Some puppies learn very fast, and some take more time. Once you have developed good habits with your puppy they are much more enjoyable. A puppy is never to young to start learning right from wrong. It is up to the owner to endow the commands with meaning. Be patient but firm and consistent. Just like people, animals can be creatures of habit. You goal is create positive habits.
We hope this page was helpful and we are always interested in your feedback.
Thank You.

Canine Agility
This popular sport is growing by leaps and bounds. There are many dog clubs in the state that hold competition trials every year now, and one of the local dog clubs put on the first sanctioned trial in Great Falls in 2011. If you have an active dog, this could be the perfect outlet for burning off some of that extra energy. Most dogs love this and the owners have a great time too!
Agility Classes Start Every 2 Months year around, except July, August, November & December.
Classes are usually on Monday, Tuesday and/or Wednesday evenings. Classes are held indoors on rubber flooring in our Paws-Abilities Training Center next door.
Dogs MUST know the Sit, Down, Stay, Come and have good focus on the owner.
- Beginning class.
This class teaches the Owner how to safely introduce their dog to the equipment. Owners also begin learning how to direct their dog through sequences of obstacles. Dogs will be assessd during the first class to determine if your dog has the correct temperment and enough training to start the class.
Intermediate/Advanced class.
Here you will start working your dog off leash and continue to work on your handling skills.
This class will prepare you for competition.
Equipment you will need includes a flat collar, a 6' lead, some soft training treats and comfortable shoes (no sandals or slippers).
ALL Vaccinations MUST be current including Bordatella. If paying by Credit/Debit Card please come in during Regular Business Hours to pay.

F&L Pet Resort Agility Classes in the News on KRTV
OBEDIENCE - Every Dog Deserves an Education!
We will no longer be offering Obedience Classes
It is possible to schedule a private lesson for problem dogs. Cost is $65.00 per lesson. Lessons can last from 1-2 hours.
DO NOT WEAR SANDALS OR LOOSE FITTING SHOES while TRAINING! Come in and fill out a Private Training Request Form. The first 15-20 minutes of the first lesson is an evaluation of the dog and handler and there is no fee charged for this. After this time a determination will be made as to if we can help you with your problem.
Please realize there are no fast fixes and the majority of success will come from the dog owners ability to follow instruction and commit the time it takes for YOU to work with the dog on a regular basis.
EQUIPMENT: Just as you would not expect a mechanic to tune your car without the proper equipment, you can not train a dog with improper or bad fitting equipment. Proper Equipment will be available for purchase if you need it. If you plan on purchasing equipment prior to class please check with us so you get the proper type and size of equipment, regardless of where you buy it.
You will need a chain collar and a 6' lead.
A heavy chain collar is not necessarily the best collar. Don't use chain collars with long links instead of round links. Don't use collars with material woven through the chain. When the collar is on the dog and you pull up on the ring, you should only have a couple extra inches of links, NOT 4 or 5 inches.
If you have a dog over 30 lbs, we STRONGLY recommend you use a leather lead, not nylon as this can cut your hand if the dog should decide to bolt or pull you.
Training a dog requires commitment on the owner's part. You are being instructed on how to train your dog. We are teaching you and you, in turn, are teaching your dog. By law, an owner is fully responsible for the actions of their dog, so your commitment is vital in its training. Training a dog requires follow-through and repetition with clarity of instruction, consistency and timing.

When installing applications via the software center or by a DEB file they will usually be installed system wide for all users.
Is there a way to install an application for a single user only?
Depending on what you want to accomplish, there may be different ways to make this work (or at least give a hacky semblance of the functionality you want).
Installation of software in many ways comes down to making resources available, or allowing access to things that are already present on the system.
Whether you are talking about granting access to printers, or allowing a user to execute programs in a certain directory, there are ways to accomplish this, and though they may be native to Ubuntu, these kinds of solutions are generally (of course) going to be added after the fact of a .deb installation.
Here are two general classes of post-installation control that can be added. Note that, given the right environment, e.g. when a tightly controlled group policy is in place, this might be easier once you have the basic system in place. These kind of permission can even be tied to LDAP or a similar system which can give per-user or group authentication and authorization.
Visiblity control
Removing the executable bit from directories eliminates the ability of processes to search or traverse them. It can effectively render them invisible, and user-wise, make them unavailable. If you have a default system policy which creates menus based on file access, for instance, you can get this kind of cosmetic solution in place, and then have it work for subsequent installations with little additional effort.
Execution control
The only thing that jumps to mind is just extracting the package and trying to place the files manually in the home dir.
However this will only work for some things. Plenty of packages are split into chunks (executables or scripts in

In short, I don't think there is an easy way.
You could change the executable file's ownership so that only one user would be able to run it. Then, if needed, you can remove the application from the menus of other users.
The deb's are mainly archives that get extracted to the root of your filesystem when installed (plus some config). If you wanted to install them just for one user, you would need to somehow install them to /home/user folder. Even if you did so, they wouldn't work, as f.e. application binaries won't land in /usr/bin (or sth similar), and system will not find them if you'll try to launch them. Similarly libraries etc. would be useless, as the system wouldn't know there are somewhere in the /home. You could try the brute-force approach, and adjust the PATH variable to point to wherever you extracted the files from the deb archive, but that would be not only VERY insecure, but might cause may compatibility problems (f.e. menu entries wouldn't work, as GNOME extects the .desktop files to be in /usr/share/applications).
Moreover, if you installed a package just for some users, it might cause crazy dependency problems, if any other user installed package that conflicts with another one you have had installed just for yourself - and possibly tons of other package management related issues would appear.
All these troubles make it extremely difficult to manage packages separately for users, so it seems it's not possible to install them just for one user, because the idea behind the .debs disallows that.

I want to compress several files and encrypt them with a password if possible.
- Are there any build-in tools in Mac OS that provide such functionality?
- If not, can you recommend me a (freeware) alternative?
- I'd also be happy with a terminal command.
I want to compress several files and encrypt them with a password if possible.
Yes, you can do this using the built-in Disk Images of Mac OS X. A disk image (or DMG file) is a file which, when opened, presents itself as a removable Mac OS X volume, similar to a removable hard drive. Many OS X applications are deployed on disk images. If you encrypt your home directory using FileVault, you're creating a spare bundle disk image.
You can create OS X disk images which are compressed and/or encrypted. However, if you create a compressed DMG, it will be read-only, so that may or may not work for you.
To create a new, empty encrypted disk image in OS X:
After you save the disk image file, you'll be prompted for a password and verification. Once completed, you'll have a new volume on your desktop and in the "Computer" view where you can begin dropping files!
To create a compressed, read-only image, you can do one of two things:
Protip: if you drag and drop a folder onto Disk Utility's dock icon it will automatically offer to create a disk image out of that folder.
Protip #2: If you create an encrypted disk image out of an unencrypted folder and you want to delete the original, unencrypted files, remember to use secure erase otherwise you risk leaving confidential information on your hard drive.
The easiest way to compress is to just right-click any file and select the appropriate option to create a zip file (without password though).
On command-line/Terminal level there are at least
For zip and openssl the password will be visible to all users while the encryption is running. This is usually not a problem on a desktop system, otherwise you may consult the
You can do this with just tools in OSX
For simple compression right click on the file in Finder and choose compress..
To compress and add a password - With Disk Utility create a new disk image - choosing the Encryption and Image format options. Then copy the files into it.
From the command line look at gzip and zip
Though I recommend and use encrypted DMG files myself-see Josh's accepted answer–there is an alternative way to do this in Terminal using a combination of free and built-in tools.
Jason Seney explains in his article Open, Edit & Save Encrypted Files with Vim and GPG:
Using MacGP2 you can encrypt:
and decrypt:
Jason's article provides instructions to pipe files directly in and out of vim and the secret sauce for creating alias commands that make encrypting and decrypting easy.
As I said, I make use of the built-in DMG tools, but if you're a command line user, particularly of vim, or if you need to insure that plaintext copies of your secret files never exist on disk or in swap files, Jason's method is worth considering.

383 Big-Block Engine Build, Part TwoWritten by on April 19, 2012 Dyno tuning our budget 383
Last month we built a mild street engine using a factory Chrysler 383 block, crankshaft, rods, and cylinder heads combined with some aftermarket goodies from Comp Cams and Summit Racing Equipment, and put it on the dyno to see what kind of horsepower and torque it could make. And while our numbers were significantly better than the factory rating for the 383 Magnum or Super Commando, we knew there was more to be had through efficient dyno tuning of the big-block. This month we'll show you how we gained 58 horsepower and 35 lb-ft of torque by spending a day on the dyno.
The factory horsepower rating for Mopar's 383 four-barrel varies by car model and year of production, but the highest rating the 383 ever had was 335 horsepower as the base engine of first generation Road Runners. Using a factory '68 block, crankshaft, connecting rods, and .030-inch over cast pistons combined with stock 906 cylinder heads for our engine, we're basically duplicating the '68 Road Runner engine. The only advantages our 10:1 compression 383 has over the factory version are the intake manifold, mild overbore, Comp camshaft, and Comp rocker gear. This is a very economical combination to build, costing less than $2,500 in parts and machine work, and is likely similar to the engine in many of your cars.
One of the questions we're often asked is whether or not dyno time is worth the money when it comes to an engine build. And while the answer to this is somewhat dependent on your budget, and the application, we generally favor dyno testing for a number of reasons. First, it's a lot of work to put an engine in a car, and if you have a leak or mechanical problem with the engine while on the dyno, it makes repairs a lot easier. Next, tuning an engine for peak power and testing multiple bolt-on parts requires accurate measurement, and an engine dyno is the only way to precisely measure changes to horsepower and torque. Sure you can do this at the dragstrip, but most street cars are limited by traction and the results of testing can be somewhat ambiguous. Because an engine dyno is a precise tool and removes the variable of the car from the equation, the results are accurate and replicable.
Another nice feature of dyno time is being able to break in the engine. Even better, a slight load can be placed on the dyno as the rpm is varied, which is a proven way to seat piston rings quickly. We performed the break-in procedure for our 383 on the Superflow engine dynamometer at Auto Performance Engines, checking for leaks or unusual noises, drained the oil and checked the valve lash. With new oil and a new oil filter installed, we were ready to make some dyno pulls on our big-block.
Knowing the parts inside an engine aren't really put under much of a strain until a load is put on them, the first real dyno pull on an engine always makes us the most nervous. It is at this time that any weak link, defect, or substandard part can be exposed, so we're always cautious during the first pull. For our testing we filled the fuel cell with BP 93 octane unleaded fuel, set the acceleration rate of the dyno to 300 rpm/second, and made our first pull from 3,500 to 5,500 rpm. On what was admittedly a conservative tune-up with a 750 vacuum secondary Holley carburetor and only 32 degrees total ignition timing, peak torque was 380 lb-ft at 4,600 rpm with a peak horsepower number of 360 horsepower at 5,500 rpm. Having already beaten the numbers of the factory 383, we were ready to make some tuning changes in the search for more power.
The first change we made to our tune-up was to install a 750-cfm Holley HP double-pumper carburetor, and pull the engine from 3,500 rpm to 5,800 rpm with the ignition timing at 35 degrees. This pull resulted in a noticeable increase in torque, up by 9 lb-ft and 15 additional horsepower. Adding five degrees of ignition timing for a total advance of 40 degrees, we raised the upper rpm limit to 6,200 and another pull was made on the 383, netting 391 lb-ft of torque and 388 horsepower at 6,100 rpm. Thinking our little 383 might want more carburetor, we decided a change was in order.
During our dyno time, we actually tested six different carburetors on our 383, and will give you the details of that testing in an upcoming issue of Mopar Muscle. What that testing revealed is that this engine liked the Holley 850 double-pumper best, so we concentrated our efforts on tuning that carburetor. Also testing multiple carb spacers on our engine, we discovered our best power came with 87 jets in the Holley, a two-inch open spacer, and the ignition timing set at 42 degrees total advance. In this configuration, our big-block made 402 lb-ft of torque at 4,600 rpm, and 402 horsepower at 6,100 rpm, acting a little bigger than its 383 inches.
Having a couple of additional tricks up our sleeve, we decided to really optimize power by installing an electric drive on the water pump to get rid of the engine driven belt. While it isn't likely this modification would be performed on a street car, our engine did make an additional six lb-ft of torque, but horsepower wasn't changed. Next, we drained the 20W50 weight conventional oil from the engine and replaced it with 5W30 conventional motor oil. Since our 383 had oil pressure to spare (80 psi), running lighter oil is a good way to free up horsepower without sacrificing protection. The results of our next pull proved this theory, as the engine made its best numbers of 414 lb-ft of torque and 418.5 peak horsepower at a leisurely 5,900 rpm.
So, was our dyno time at Auto Performance Engines worth the expense and effort? In our case we found an additional 35 lb-ft of torque and an impressive 59 additional horsepower by tuning our 383 on the engine dyno. And while we may have been able to accomplish some of this with the engine in the car, it certainly would have made the work more difficult, and would have taken considerably more time. Additionally, we wouldn't have any measureable results without doing all of our testing under very controlled track conditions. Best of all, our engine is ready to be put in the car with confidence, knowing that at the turn of the key we'll have nearly 420 dyno-tuned horsepower at our disposal and ready to run.

1 We built this 383 from a '68 block, 906 heads, forged crankshaft, and factory connecting rods that were sitting around our shop. The 383 was the most widely produced Mopar big-block, and parts like these are plentiful and cheap. Most of this stuff was discarded by others and just given to us.2 Our plan was to build this engine on a budget, so the 906 heads were simply treated to a valve job and new Comp Cams springs. In an effort to out-power the best factory rating of 335 horsepower, we also installed a new solid lifter flat-tappet camshaft with .502 intake and .511 exhaust lift and a lobe separation of 110 degrees.3 To accommodate our solid lifter camshaft, we chose a set of Pro Magnum adjustable rocker arms from Comp Cams. These rockers are a great value and come as a complete kit with shafts and hardware. They also utilize ball/ball style pushrods, which are arguably more stable than ball/cup style.4 Assembled with rings, bearings, gaskets, seals, and an Edelbrock Victor 383 intake manifold from Summit Racing Equipment, we bolted our big-block to the dyno at Auto Performance Engines to measure its power. We're hoping our mild combination, basically a stock engine with a cam and intake swap, will make significantly more power than the factory 335 horsepower rating.5 Topped with one of Auto Performance Engine's Holley 750 break-in carburetors, we fired the 383 up to break in the camshaft and seat the rings. Using Comp's break-in lube and oil, we've never had a problem wiping a lobe off on of their cams. This time was no different, and we were ready for a dyno pull after engine break-in.6 After break-in we changed the oil, set the ignition timing at 35 degrees total advance, and checked and reset valve lash as necessary. With 80 psi of oil pressure and nothing abnormal found, we made our first pull using the shop's 750 carburetor.7 On its first measured dyno pull, our 383 made 360 horsepower and 379 lb-ft of torque. Not a bad starting point, considering we'd already beaten the factory rating by some 25 horsepower. Knowing there was more in our little big-block, we bumped the ignition timing to 35 degrees and installed a Holley 750 HP double-pumper, which resulted in an improvement in both horsepower and torque.8 We tested six different carburetors during our dyno session, as well as two types of air cleaners, and the details of those tests will be shown in a future issue of Mopar Muscle. Our 383 seemed to like the Holley 850 double-pumper we tested best, so we concentrated our efforts on tuning that carburetor for this article.
10 Equipped with the Holley 850 and two-inch spacer, our engine made its best pull yet with the factory electronic distributor set for 40 degrees total advance. Using an oxygen sensor and monitor from Innovate Motorsports to monitor the air/fuel ratio, we jetted the carburetor with size 87 jets front and rear.Power and torque numbers were each now above the 400 benchmark, but we had a couple of tricks left to attempt.11 Removing the pulleys, we installed an electric motor to drive the water pump on our 383. The engine only picked up one horsepower, but did improve by 6 lb-ft of torque.12 At 80 psi this 383 had an abundance of oil pressure, so we decided to drain the 20W50 weight oil in favor of 5W30. The thinner oil will be easier to pump, and should free up some power. Of course, we wouldn't recommend this for an engine that has marginal oil pressure, but we only lost 5 psi which lowered our oil pressure to 75 psi. It worked, as we gained 16 horesepower.13 The best dyno pull on our 383 netted 418 horsepower at 5,900 rpm, for a gain of 58 horsepower over the first pull on this engine, and 83 horsepower more than it was rated for at the factory. Torque was up as well, making this a powerful, economical combination. We're not sure what we'll install this in yet, but it will certainly be a fun street car.

Abilene Christian University is seeking help in determining who has allegedly been sending harassing Twitter feeds targeting social clubs, criticizing specific people and making racial comments.
This morning, the university – through its @ACUedu account on Twitter – urged followers in three tweets to provide information on those associated with three Twitter accounts: @ACUSleaze, @GossipGirl_ABL and @ACUGossipboy.
The ACU tweets urged those who "have accurate info about this ID" to visit ACU's website and email email@example.com.
While the university isn't immediately commenting on its investigation, a story in ACU's student newspaper – The Optimist – said Twitter feeds from the yet-to-be-found student or students has "sparked immediate reaction from students, faculty, staff and administration. Some of the posts were vulgar and others named specific students."
According to The Optimist, Dr. Jean-Noel Thompson, vice president for student life and dean of students, said ACU is actively working to learn those behind the accounts because of "the offensive nature of the tweets."
"We're very much aware of the accounts, and we're disturbed by the inappropriate nature of the messages," Thompson told the newspaper. "The accounts are not in line with what we expect of our students. We are doing our best to track down the individuals behind them and to protect those targeted."
Thompson told The Optimist that the aggressive nature of some of the tweets violate the university's Student Handbook, which prohibits any forms of harassment of students, and that the sexually and racially motivated remarks don't reflect the character of the university. In addition, false posts that injure someone's reputation can open Twitter users to libel claims.
According to The Optimist, the ACU Police Department isn't involved in the investigation.

Leading up to the 2013 NHL Draft on June 30, the Rampage will revisit the draft memories of several players recently selected by the Florida Panthers.
See below as defenseman Alex Petrovic discusses his memories of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Alex Petrovic
Position: Defenseman
Selected in the second round, 26th overall, of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft
Drafted from the Western Hockey League's Red Deer Rebels
What are some of your memories of the Draft?
It was me and my family and a couple buddies out in Los Angeles for the Draft. Before the Draft you have to go through interviews with all the teams, kind of like the NFL Combine. It can be pretty nerve-wracking. The first round was on Thursday and I was pretty disappointed not to be selected. But I went early in the second round for Florida and I was ecstatic. I couldn't wait to prove myself to the Panthers. Looking back, I should have enjoyed it a little more. I was pretty stressed out during the couple days I was out there.
What was it like when you heard the Panthers call your name?
It was a huge weight off my shoulders. But as soon as you get picked, you know it's time to get ready to prove yourself. Not being picked in the first round really wanted to make me prove to the other teams that they had made a mistake.
How was the atmosphere in Staples Center?
There was a lot of media and a lot of fans in the arena. When the Kings had their pick, the place just exploded. It was really cool to be part of and definitely a once in a lifetime kind of thing.
That draft was kind of unique for the Panthers because they had so many picks early on in the draft. Florida had five selections in the first 36 picks. Did all of you guys picked by the Panthers have a chance to get to know each other after the draft?
I already knew Quinton (Howden) and Johnny (McFarland) because we played together for Team Canada in the Under-18 World Championships. We didn't have much time to actually hang out at the draft because there are so many little things you have to do. But it was nice heading to camp already knowing a couple guys who were going to be in the same spot.
Did you know that Florida was especially interested in selecting you?
I was projected to be drafted in the late first round or early second round. Obviously everyone wants to be picked in the first round, so I was a little disappointed not to be selected earlier. But when I did hear my name called by the Panthers I was really excited and couldn't wait to get to camp. Once you get to camp, it really doesn't matter where you were drafted. Nobody talks about that stuff. It just comes down to whether or not you can play at the NHL level.

Hiking the talus there was work but much more fun than my aborted 2012 attempt to ascend directly from the tungsten mine via the slippery scree trails. After summiting, descended via the trail to the tungsten mine in order to get down as quickly as possible, with hail falling and lightening striking peaks off to the west.

|Started out at Rovana, gaining the ridge at its lowest point (ca. 5,000'), making for an 8,000'+ day. Left truck (slightly uphill) at 10.11 (had wanted to start much earlier, but raining on ridge until shortly before I started), starting up ridge at 10.26.
A brutal 'hike' from the get-go, with steep sand, along with circuitous route-finding required to avoid ever-present brush. Things improved somewhat in the tree zone (less brush, at least), and got better the higher one went; that is, until one starts encountering the numerous, heart-breaking false summits...
Summited finally at 18.33. A couple of summit photos, signing the summit register, and opening the obligatory summit beer. Left summit at 18.53.
Managed to descend a few thousand ft. before enveloped by darkness; part of me didn't want to do the descent in the darkness, so I initially made an attempt at bivying, to hold out until the sun arrived. I got chilly, though, and eventually decided it would be better to go and at least make a descent attempt, staying warm in the process. Descent ended up being mostly uneventful, and eventually got back to the truck at 5.16. WHAT A DAY!!!!
If it weren't for the sheer amount of SLOGGING and vertical gain, some scrambling sections would actually be enjoyable. While it is cool to finally have done Mt. Tom, and from the bottom all the way to the top, it is a BRUTAL undertaking; not sure I could recommend it but to the heartiest masochists.

The 5 Most Insane Childbirth Stories of All Time
As you've likely gathered, this is a story about a woman giving birth on a shrimping boat, but it's less about her and the baby and more about Ed Kiesel, captain of the boat and makeshift obstetrician who delivered the child. If you're lucky enough to meet Ed Kiesel someday, he'd probably be able to pull at least one baby out of you on the spot. He's that good at delivering kids.
Cindy Preisel was working as a cook on the ship 30 miles off shore when she went into labor. Kiesel heard her screaming, coolly assessed the situation and threw down some paper towels while consulting his first aid handbook to see if there was a chapter on prying kids out of hysterical women.
"This is going to take a lot more Band-Aids."
While unaccustomed to delivering babies on his boat, or anywhere, he noticed that the baby was coming out feet first, and that was a problem. For some context, even a hospital staff will panic when a baby is breech, but Kiesel kept his cool and reached in gently during the contractions to free each of the shoulders with his fingertips. Then he had to reach inside the mother again to free the head. Keep in mind that the process is incredibly delicate, like a pulling a Jell-O mold, intact, through the sleeve of a sweater you really don't want to stretch.
When the baby was finally free, it wasn't breathing, so Kiesel flipped forward a few chapters to CPR and administered chest compressions and breaths for 25 minutes before the baby came to life. Take a minute to process how long that is. When a patient dies on the table in television shows, the other doctors will only let the really optimistic doctor pound on his chest and breathe into his mouth for around 30 seconds before pulling him away and saying "He's gone, man!" Twenty-five minutes is the length of that entire show without commercials, and Kiesel performed CPR that entire time.
Via Fox News
Well, if you want to call it that. It was mostly him screaming "Stop not breathing, asshole!"
Once the baby was breathing, Kiesel tied off the umbilical cord with twine to cut it and fashioned a baby bottle out of a soy sauce bottle because of course he did.
For his heroics under pressure, Cindy Preisel named the baby Brian Edward Preisel, because apparently she was appreciative enough to honor the man who rescued her baby, but not so appreciative that she'd make "Edward" his first name.
Via Chron.com
Which isn't all that bad, considering she formerly just knew him as "That Mustache Guy."
#1. Having Three Babies During Three Tornadoes
We're being completely serious when we say that the government needs to start keeping a close eye on Samantha Oakley in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky, because she is giving birth to supervillains.
In 2008, a doctor performed her C-section by flashlight because the power was out thanks to a massive tornado picking up and dropping everything else in town. But what at first seems miraculous takes a turn toward the ominous when we know her history of childbearing. Oakley already had two other kids, both born in the middle of tornadoes. That's right; three babies, three tornadoes.
Via Tristatehomepage.com
"I gave birth to my first tornado back in 2005."
That news story only quotes the mother's word as the source of that claim, but sure enough, there are records of a tornado outbreak there in November of 2005 and another in September of 2006, just as she says. So if she's lying, then she would have had to fake the birth dates of her kids just to get herself on the local news.
And even if you don't believe in omens, you have to admit, every baby being greeted with a destructive storm is totally an omen. A bad one. Either that or the mother has the strangely specific superpower of summoning tornadoes while laying flat and screaming with labor pains.
Aftermath of the conception.
Actually, there might be an alternate explanation: The man who performed the C-section under a flashlight is using his obstetric powers to birth an army of children who can themselves harness the power of natural disasters. He's been pulling babies out of women during catastrophic storms for years. In Japan, he delivered newborns during typhoons and without the luxury of hospital equipment. His name? Dr. Richard Good. Yes, we totally believe that's your real name and not some kind of supervillain alter ego, "Dr. Dick Good."
Via Tristatehomepage.com
Yeah, there's no way that face wasn't peeled off of one of his victims and worn as his own.

I have a bag of hundreds of classic light grey 2x4 bricks, and 2x1 bricks.
How can I use these to make some interesting castle walls?
Considering the very limited choice of bricks, I don't think you have much options.
The first is the obvious stacking of 1x2 bricks, which the added bonus that it can bend (slighly).
The second is the obvious stacking of 2x4 bricks, which is equally boring.
What I would suggest is to build windows in it, which you can easily achieve by mixing the two bricks. My LDraw PC is dead, so I'll need to explain this otherwise. Let's say that the wall depth is 2L, so basically from the front you'll see either bricks of 1 or 4. Let's represent these by "1" and "4444". What you can do is as follows:
Notice that there is a window every 5 studs, which is exactly the same as you would have if you were using the castle wall panels.
For the top, you can have a layer of 2x4 bricks in the other direction, so that they go one stud further in front and in back. End with a parapet build of 1x2 bricks.

Part 3: Our Hall of Fame
California Assemblyman Willie Brown successfully combined his "outrage" with his skill for political maneuvering and finally passed a bill that decriminalized gay sex with its signing in 1976. He had introduced the legislation every year since 1969.
"Passing the bill required one of the most daring — and fun — political capers I ever was involved in," the former San Francisco mayor wrote in his memoir. "It wasn't all political opportunism. The legislation also emerged from a sense of outrage. My outrage. The penalties didn't affect just gays; they affected everyone."
His commitment was all the more evident when reapportionment moved the Castro out of Brown's district in 1971 and yet he kept fighting. The bill passed the Assembly 46-2 in 1975. But it was only approved in the Senate after conspiring with another future San Francisco mayor, George Moscone, a state senator at the time. The vote came down to 20-20 on last-minute commitments, so the lieutenant governor had to be flown back from an out-of-state trip to break the tie. Meanwhile, opposition senators were locked in the chamber so they couldn't escape and lose quorum.
The decriminalization of homosexuality inspired backlash from a group called the Coalition of Christian Citizens that vowed to put a repeal of the law up to a statewide referendum. But it was also seen as an inspiration the LGBT rights movement across the country.
—Lucas Grindley
Before there was Harvey Milk, there was Elaine Noble, the first known openly gay person to ever be elected to a state legislature. Noble was the target of harassment from colleagues when she first entered the Massachusetts House of Representatives in 1974, but she eventually endeared herself to her fellow representatives, and constituents alike. Her 1976 reelection campaign was a sweep, with Noble winning nearly 90% of the vote in her heavily Irish-Catholic, Boston-area district.
Noble was part of the first delegation of LGBT people to be invited to the White House for a conversation with President Jimmy Carter on gay rights in 1977. Though she did put out a staunch effort to boost gay rights in Massachusetts, Noble saw that one of the most important fights of her time in office would be to help desegregate Boston's schools. Noble broke from other white legislators and some gay rights activists who thought she was abandoning her own people. She recruited volunteers and members of her campaign staff to ride buses with Boston's black children to predominantly white schools to ensure their safety. Noble left the office after two terms, but her efforts did not go in vain. A decade later, Massachusetts was an early adopter to a statewide gay rights bill, and in 2003, it became the first state to legalize marriage equality.
—Michelle Garcia
Robin Tyler, Lucia Valeska, Phyllis Frye, and Troy Perry (pictured below, clockwise from top left) organized the first gay rights march on Washington, held in October 1979. The watermark event in LGBT history was put together by Frye, an attorney, advocate, and Texas's first openly transgender judge, along with Valeska of the National Gay Task Force. The women were joined by Tyler, a pioneer as an openly gay comedian and longtime LGBT activist, and Perry, the founder of the gay-affirming Metropolitan Community Church in Los Angeles. The gathering drew more than 79,000 demonstrators — some organizers say it was more like 100,000 — and placed the call for gay equality on the evening news and the morning's newspapers. Speaking at the Mall, Tyler roused the crowd: "If freedom shall ring in this country it must ring for all Americans or in time it will not ring at all for anyone."

Biomedical researcher Robert Gallo led the team that discovered HIV, the infectious agent responsible for AIDS, back in 1984 when the disease was felling thousands of gay men. A medical researcher with the National Institute of Health, Gallo would go on to develop the first HIV blood test, which enabled doctors and nurses to screen blood for the deadly disease. His HIV breakthroughs continued through the '90s — he discovered a natural compound known as chemokines that can block HIV and halt the progression of AIDS. "His research also helped physicians develop HIV therapies to prolong the lives of those infected with the virus," according to the Institute of Human Virology, the health organization that Gallo founded and now directs.

Edward Albee, one of the most revered playwrights of the 20th Century talked to The Advocate about being gay, and writing gay characters in 1989. "Some of the characters in my plays are gay... and that's fine because that's the way life is, but gay is not a subject. Societal pressure on gay people is a subject."
Albee, who has won a multitude of honors, including Pulitzer prizes and Tony awards, as well as the National Medal of the Arts, was the scribe behind the powerhouse play, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? After a tumultuous childhood, Albee dropped out of Trinity College to live in Greenwich Village in New York City in the 1950s. After a succession of odd jobs, he completed his first dramatic work, the one-act play, The Zoo Story, which premiered in 1959. In 1962, he followed up with Virginia Woolf, which won a Tony award, but was the subject of debate from the Pulitzer committee. That year, the committee decided that no one would win the award. The Pulitzer committee later honored Albee with A Delicate Balance in 1967. After several years of success, Albee began teaching young, up-and-coming playwrights at the University of Houston in 1989, and is still writing into his eighties.

Pedro Zamora made his debut as an HIV-positive cast member in the third season of MTV's reality show, The Real World: San Francisco. During his time on the show, which was hugely popular for the network, Zamora used the platform to educate his fellow cast mates about HIV and, vicariously through them, the rest of the world who were watching.
He went so far as to bring a scrapbook to the house with him to help show his house mates the kind of activism he did prior to the show. Zamora died shortly after the airing of the show.
In 2009, MTV and Bunim Murray, creators of The Real World, produced Pedro, a biopic written by Dustin Lance Black showing Zamora's life from the time he left his family in Cuba up until his death.

When Tammy Baldwin won election to the U.S. House of Representatives and joined Congress in 1999, the odds were against her. Baldwin was the first woman to ever be sent to Congress from Wisconsin. And she was the first non-incumbent to run a campaign for federal office while openly gay.
"I've always believed that having a seat at the table matters," Baldwin told The Advocate after announcing her newest run for office; this time, for U.S. Senate. "It matters that our legislative bodies are representative of the whole diversity of our country and of my state. Nobody checks their life experience at the door."
Baldwin came out while serving on the Dane County Board of Supervisors. She went on to win a seat in the Wisconsin State Assembly. At every level that Baldwin has served, she argues for LGBT rights. She cofounded the LGBT Equality Caucus, fought "don't ask, don't tell," advocates for marriage equality and is a cosponsor of a bill to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act. Now the seven-term congresswoman, if elected, would become the first openly LGBT senator in history.
—Lucas Grindley
Actress Cynthia Nixon came out as a lesbian in 2004 after playing Miranda on HBO's hugely popular Sex and the City. In the time since, Nixon has often spoken out on LGBT issues. She was a vocal opponent of Proposition 8 in California and made a video for Fight Back New York after the state's marriage equality bill was shot down. In it, Nixon discussed her personal involvement in the fight against antigay state lawmakers.
When Nixon later explained in 2011 that she is bisexual, after a furor broke out because she told the New York Times that it shouldn't matter whether being gay is a choice, Nixon told The Advocate that she will continue to be herself and to use her voice. "I believe we all have different ways we came to the gay community and we can't and shouldn't be pigeon-holed into one cultural narrative which can be uninclusive and disempowering," she said. "While I don't often use the word, the technically precise term for my orientation is bisexual. I believe bisexuality is not a choice, it is a fact. What I have 'chosen' is to be in a gay relationship."
-Josh Hinkle
Television has helped define American culture, and television was dominated by singing contest American Idol in 2009 when Adam Lambert broke the preconceived notion of who this country could embrace.
Lambert, the glam-rocker who finished the show's eight season as first runner-up, was the subject of an Entertainment Weekly cover story questioning whether he was gay even before the show ended. When it finally did, Lambert began learning what it is to identify as a gay man in mainstream pop music.
In his first post-Idol TV performance at the American Music Awards, Lambert stole headlines by kissing his male keyboard player. He's become an advocate for The Trevor Project and Equality California. But his example as a reliable voice for being yourself is perhaps most important.
"I think visibility is a great tool," he told The Advocate in a 2011 cover story. "If I'd had people in the public eye who were really up-front about it, it probably would have helped me."

is anyone else getting amazingly tired of -always- seeing firefly in dealswoot 24/7 at around $10 or so.
I get it, firefly is a good deal for the 40th time. Really am getting tired of seeing it.
love the show, don't get me wrong.
Pretty sure this is the lowest price it's turned up for, which is why I shared it.
Also: "24/7" lol.
@denalynn2001: If you mean lowest you've ever seen it, its not. Just a month ago it was cheaper.
Not trying to say "hey screw you for posting this its awful I hate you!" just more "Hey collective woot people, is it just me or is anyone else tired of seeing it for around $10-$15.
Looked it up, its being posted -about- every week with a few exceptions (skip a week, 2 a week) which kind of comes to a point where... its no longer a "deal" its just how much it costs.
I don't know, maybe i'm being grouchy.
on the other hand, businesses wouldn't waste their time advertizing it if it wasn't selling....it's always about money;-)
I'm glad to see it. I ordered one. Mine disappeared when I moved and I was just wishing the other day that I had it back. So this is a good thing.
i aint scared. i'll say it. you know what else is a good deal on firefly. prime. yeah. i said it.
@godthehamster: Prime and Netflix are great, until the power goes out. I live in Maryland, hurricanes, snow storms, and brown outs. Everyone means pulling out firefly for a family marathon.
Hmm, I must have done a lazy search, because I didn't see those lower prices. My reasoning on things like that, though is that if it's a good chunk less than most places are charging for it when I look, then it's a deal.
Just not a very original deal, apparently, but I'm glad at least a few people were happy to see it.
At least you won't be bored from seeing the re-runs on TV... True, I got several (they make great gifts) for $5.88 on black friday - but it's good to see where today's competitive price is - where are all you fussy folk when products are posted by their vendors (and aren't on sale at all) ? Stuff like $40 crock pots, sherburne county using Woot! as a catalog, etc. seems to get no comments - but someone finds a deal on a 13 episode series and 'bam' - dogpile of gripers...

- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Generously butter the inside of six 6oz (175g) custard cups, and line each with a round of wax paper. Butter the paper.
- Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over, but not in, a saucepan of simmering water. Remove from the heat.
- Beat the butter and sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer on high speed for about 3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then add the vanilla. Sift the flour and salt together and stir into the batter, then stir in the chocolate. Divide the batter among the cups. Place the cups on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the sides are set but the centers are still soft. Top each cup with a serving plate. Protecting your hands with a kitchen towel, invert both to unmold the cake. Remove the wax paper. Serve hot.

- Prepare ahead: The cakes can be prepared through step 3 and stored at room temperature for up to 2 hours.
- Good with a dollop of softly whipped cream or hot custard sauce flavored with grated orange zest.

bar chart refresh problem after deleting a bar
Hello, after a few time testing, I have a little problem with my bar chart.
It's possible to add and delete new data bars. But the problem is when I remove a bar.
It's like the chart don't delete the hole data object it uses to draw.
here are some screens :
On the second screen, you can see that they all resize like it should. Then when i maximize the window i see a little box where the data was before deleting it. How can i fix that ?
This is the code i use when i remove a data :
public void onSelect(SelectEvent event) { Context c = event.getContext(); int row = c.getIndex(); Data d = store.get(row); channelsData.remove(row); store.remove(d); store.commitChanges(); barChart.setStore(store); barSpec.setChannelsData(channelsData); channelsData = barSpec.getChannelsData(); barChart.redrawChart();

Thanks for the report. This has been fixed in SVN and will be in the next release. Until then you can avoid this issue by turning off shadows.
10 May 2012 10:20 PM #3
It don't change anything even after turning off the shadows.
Then i have the situation you can see in the image 2. Just the last bar is still there, the others just go over that one and don't remove the green bar.
When i add a new data, the text is also gone.
I tried to remove the data from the series too with the codeCode:

Can I get a full list of every set LEGO has ever come out with?
Brickset.com is an excellent website with an inventory of sets stretching back as far as 1966. The list is not 100% complete and the site is not an official site of the LEGO groups so it relies on contributions from fans for its updates.
The information below is from the site itself:
The LEGO Collector's guide is very comprehensive and has been made with a lot of collaboration with the LEGO company.
I can't vouch whether it's more complete than brickset (although I'd think so, it's extremely thick), though, and of course you'll have to buy it, but it's a very nice compilation anyway.
