|Topic Review (Newest First)
I agree about buying a truck that someone else has built. It's the smart way to do it. Be advised however, that not all trucks are built alike.
Several years ago, a fellow I knew called and said he wanted to bring his new Effie over for me to see. I said great. The truck was reeeeaaaal eye candy. Turquoise paint with a blown BBC, 2-4's. Polished mags, big rubber. Really a nice looking piece. He asked if I'd like to chauffer it around the block. I said sure. Well, I have to tell you, I was never more disappointed with a piece of machinery in my life. Whomever installed the front clip set it in with no positive caster, so you had to turn the steering wheel back manually on every turn. It would not return to zero by itself. The fellow had just shelled out $40,000 for this rig, so I just kept my mouth shut about the caster and complimented him on his purchase.
Moral of the story is, contract with an expert at an expert shop to look over and drive the rig you plan to buy before you hand over any long green.
You can find current values of the Effie here....
if it was me, I'd find a truck thats already restored, and then make it yours with changes for your taste..
a nice runner should be under 10k.. hell 5 k should get you a nice one.. then make it yours..
20k will not do it from start to finish..
buy someones already build truck that they are bored with, and work off that..
|You would come out better if you go buy one ready to go also would save you a lot of headaches and time you could be cruising instead of worrying about the outcome there are a lot of f100 s for sale just take your time & find one that jumps out at you
You're gonna find that if you walk into a commercial shop with your idea and literally make them do every step of the work including find the original body, six months later there will be no $20K and half a truck at best. For a first hot rod without having much experience, that's crazy dreaming to go that route...(I can't begin to describe the pitfalls that you and the shop are both going to encounter and make it through in order for such a project to be a success).
There's plenty of guys out there who have built their nice truck, with huge money and time invested in it, and now need to sell at a loss for whatever reason. Take your cash and go shopping for one of those, be flexible with details and try to find a good deal around 15K, then you have a little left to fix issues that come up or re-do something your way. Later you'll start having the experience you need to go building things, or having them built if you choose to make that your thing.
And congrats on your good fortune. Don't screw it up!
ck out "LMC"
they have parts for your truck.. at least u can compare pricing..
there seems to be a few for sale that are between 10 and 15k.I think buying one that is done and running is a good start with a few bucks left over to repair/replace/customise to your taste. Building from scratch is way more expensive.
20k from your dad is a huge start.There are way better deals than an old pick up.If you gotta have a 50s Ford then buying an 03 or newer Vette would never make you happy.
Being that you are young,I would think a "ckick magnet" car would be a better buy,,,
Vette,BMW,Mercedes,,,all of these cars can be bought at a screaming deal thanks so much to new north american citizens that buy new prestige cars on a regular basis.
|Irelands child
As far as year, the '56 with the wrap around windshield is the really desired model year rather then the generally flat windshield of the '54/5.
I always hate being a wet blanket, but a plan and on paper is the best and only way to go. You set yourself up with a spread sheet, add a list of material items you want, then gather up your catalogs and research your prices. Next, find a shop that is well recommended and take a trip and talk to them. If they have a bunch of cars sitting in corners, run, don't walk away. They are not working well for their customers. If the shop is reasonably neat, the employees are actually working on customer's cars, discuss your wants and needs. You need to weed out the B.S. too. Then while you are talking, discuss rates and payments - you DO NOT want to advance a shop a bunch of money but something like progress payments you can work with. Then you have to have more then a handshake agreement - you need some sort of contract where there are lines for payments, dates that can be met and a final completion date. When you deal with that shop, you will need to make regular (weekly?) visits to see progress and be prepared to take your vehicle away if the project stalls. There's lots more and others here will chime in with good advice. Read it all and then jump into this hot rod world if we don't scare you away
Purchasing a Ford F100.
So for Christmas my dad is buying me a Ford F100 but giving me the money then I have to go to a hot rod shop in Houston and ask them to find me a shell and buy all the parts for me so pretty much they will be doing all the work. This will be my first Hot Rod/Street Rod, I absolutely want the 1955 F100 and won't settle for anything less, I've been wanting this truck for about 2 years just never had the balls to ask my dad if I could get one.
I got sidetracked.
My budget will be $20k. And I have to use all that money to buy the shell, motor, wheels, tires, brakes, interior, paint etc. (Brand new everything)
So is 20k enough for a decent build?

Xmonad/Installing xmonad
From HaskellWiki
1 Read me first
After installing, you'll have an
xmonad binary on your system. From there, you'll need to wire xmonad up to your login manager.
2 Linux
2.1 Arch
$ pacman -S xmonad # for the core package $ pacman -S xmonad-contrib # for the contrib package
See xmonad on ArchWiki for more info.
2.2 Debian
2.3 Fedora
2.4 Gentoo
$ emerge xmonad-contrib # the contrib package depends on xmonad so it gets also installed
if you only want to install xmonad without contrib you could use: $ emerge xmonad
2.5 Gobo
2.6 NixOS
2.7 Slackware
2.8 Source Mage
2.9 Ubuntu
$ apt-get install libghc6-xmonad-contrib-dev # for all of xmonad core and xmonad-contrib
or else:
$ apt-get install libghc6-xmonad-dev # for just xmonad core
or else:
$ apt-get install xmonad # for just the xmonad binary, without the ability to configure
Note: On Hardy Heron and earlier, the libghc6-x11-dev package was compiled without Xinerama support. This means that if you want multi-monitor support, you will either need to upgrade to Intrepid Ibez or install xmonad (and the Haskell X11 library on which it depends) through one of the #Generic options.
3.1 FreeBSD
3.2 NetBSD
3.3 OpenBSD
xmonad is in the ports tree. To install it,
sudo pkg_add xmonad
4 Mac OS X
5 Generic
5.1 From tarball
5.2 From Hackage
xmonad can be installed from source on any system with an up-to-date Haskell toolchain:
$ cabal install xmonad

Criminology, Genocide, Sociological Theory, Quantitative Research Methods, and Human-Wildlife Conflict.
I regularly teach required undergraduate and graduate courses in the Department of Sociology, including Socl 100: Introductory Sociology, Socl 302: Strategies of Social Research, Socl 304: Sociological Theory, and Socl 513: Quantitative Research Methods. I also teach several electives, such as Socl 330: Criminology, Socl 537: Comparative Criminology, and Socl 547: Life-course Criminology. I offer many of these courses face-to-face classroom settings and online.
Criminology has been my primary area of concentration since completing my Ph.D. at the University of New Mexico (UNM) in 2004. I have published four co-authored articles with my colleagues from UNM examining the overlap and divergence between offenders and victims involved in violent crimes. Currently, I am completing several additional manuscripts with a varied criminological focus. These include papers that examine the correlates of fear of crime in African countries (with Dr. Jim Kanan in the Sociology Department at WKU) and in South Korea (with Dr. Yung Lee from the Korea Police Academy), a manuscript that examines the influence of corruption on cross-national homicide rates (with Dr. Lisa Broidy and Dale Willits from UNM), and a manuscript that measures the influence and effects of health care utilization variables on homicide lethality in the United States (with Dr. Kanan). I also recently began a new research project that examines ethnic conflict and how the international community via the International Criminal Court is prosecuting those accused of committing acts of genocide and crimes against humanity. I hope to expand this area of study in the future.
In addition to my criminological research, I have been a member of an interdisciplinary research team over the previous four years that has examined the prevalence and correlates of human-wildlife conflict in several rural villages of southeastern Kenya (with Dr. Mike Stokes from the Department of Biology at WKU and Dr. Charles Kimwele from the University of Nairobi). More recently, Dr. Doug Smith (from the Sociology Department at WKU) and I are specifically studying the influence of community interactional variables on the adoption mitigation strategies to reduce crop destruction caused by wildlife in these same villages. Additionally, we have collected data over a two-year period that examines entrepreneurialism and small business development in these villages (with Dr. Matt Marvel in the Department of Management at WKU).

NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. – The Canisius College men's basketball team held high-scoring Iona to just two points over the game's final 4:52 and three Golden Griffins scored in double figures as the Blue and Gold went on the road and beat the Gaels 85-83 Friday night in the Hynes Center. The win, Canisius' third straight, improved the team to 12-6 overall and 6-1 in MAAC play while Iona slipped to 8-8 overall and 5-2 in conference action.
Canisius senor Billy Baron scored a game-high 29 points and dished out eight assists in the win, while fellow senior Chris Perez added 17 points, three rebounds and three assists. Freshman Zach Lewis was good for 14 points for Canisius and senior Jordan Heath pulled down a game-high 12 rebounds for the Blue and Gold, which shot 51.6 percent from 3-point range and 47.6 percent from 3-point range in the victory.
Baron's 29 points gives him 1,002 for his career as a Golden Griffin. He reached the 1,000-point milestone with 3:51 left in the game when he sunk a pair of free-throws coming out of the game's final media timeout. He is the 34th player in school history to score 1,000 career points and he reached the 1,000-point mark in his 52nd career game in a Canisius uniform, making him the fifth fastest player in school history to reach the 1,000-point plateau.
Canisius led by as many as 20 points at 61-41 with 16:40 left in the game after Heath scored a lay-up, but the Gaels stormed back and eventually took a one-point lead at 72-71, as Iona out scored Canisius 31-10 over the span of 8:38. Iona sophomore A.J. English hit a pair of free-throws with 7:24 left to give the Gaels a three-point lead at 74-71, but Canisius trimmed that cushion back to one on a bucket by redshirt freshman Phil Valenti off a pass from Baron with 6:59 left on the clock. Iona stretched its lead to five points at 81-76 with 4:52 left on a 3-pointer from the right corner by sophomore Isaiah Williams. That would be Iona's last field goal for 3:17, and Canisius used Iona's dry stretch to its advantage, as the Blue and Gold scored the game's next seven points, capped by back-to-back lay-ups by Perez to give the Griffs an 83-81 lead with 1:33 left to play.
Iona tied the game for the 10th time when Tre Bowman knocked down a jumped from just inside the 3-point arc with 1:09 left to knot the game at 83-83. Canisius came up empty on its next trip down the floor, but Iona turned the ball over on their next possession, as Baron took a loose ball at the top of the key and raced down the floor. As Baron went to the rim, he was fouled, and the East Greenwich, R.I., native drained both free-throws to give Canisius the 85-83 lead. Iona had a chance to win the game at the horn, but senior Sean Armand's 3-point try from the top of the key was long, banging off the back-iron as the final horn sounded.
"This was a real emotional win for us tonight," Canisius head coach Jim Baron said. We knew Iona wasn't just going to go away when we were up 20, they have too many weapons. They are the defending league champion, but we just kept playing. We didn't panic, we didn't get away from what we do. We played to win and we got a lot of contributions from a lot of guys down the stretch. This is a really good team win for this program."
Iona had four players in double figures in the loss, led by Armand, who scored a team-high 19 points. English was good for 18 points, while Williams scored 17 points off the bench, with 14 of those coming in the second half. Iona shot 48.5 percent from the field and 38.7 percent from long range, but Canisius ended the night with a 19-6 advantage on fast-break points and the Griffs won the rebounding battle, pulling down 37 boards against Iona's 30. Senior Chris Manhertz had eight points and six rebounds for the Griffs in the win, while Valenti chipped in six points and four rebounds off the bench.
Canisius will return to action Sunday, Jan. 19, when the team plays at Monmouth. Game time in West Long Branch, N.J., is set for 2 p.m.Game Notes: This was the 62nd all-time meeting between Canisius and Iona, with the Gaels leading the series 33-29… Canisius' win in the Hynes Center was the program's first since Jan. 29, 2007… Nineteen of the 62 games between Canisius and Iona have been decided by five points or less, including the last three meetings… Baron has now scored 25 or more points in six straight games, making him the first Griff to do that since Larry Fogle in 1973-74… Jordan Heath's 12 rebounds are a season-high for the senior center… The Griffs are 7-2 this year when Perez scores 10 or more points in a game… Lewis hit four 3-pointers in the victory for Canisius – he now has 19 makes from 3-point land in the team's last five games… Junior Josiah Heath matched a season-high with two blocked shots… The win improves the Griffs to 17-8 in MAAC games under Jim Baron… Friday's game featured 10 ties and nine lead changes.

I repainted my gauntlets!! I decided that the original color I used was to dark. I used Wisconsin Central maroon for my first attempt. On my second attempt I used Rock Island Maroon and I think it turned out much better.
Check out pics below!!
I wanted to thank RUFFKINTOY for a great set of gauntlets. He also put them together for me including metal hinges!!
here are some pics of them after my paint job!! All I need to add is the hoses and switches to the right gaunt!!

HOUSTON - Former University of North Carolina play-by-play broadcaster Woody Durham will be presented with the first-ever Lombardi Excellence in College Broadcasting award at the 43rd annual Vince Lombardi Award ceremonies on Dec. 5. The event will be broadcast live from Houston on the CBS Sports Network at 9 p.m.
"I'm excited and honored," said Durham, who retired last year. "It makes me feel good to be recognized particulary after my career is over. This award is due to the coaches and players we had at North Carolina during my career. I tell people all the time there are great announcers across the country, but very few are fortunate enough to have a basketball team and football team that won more than 72 percent of their games combined."
Durham will be presented the award by his son, Georgia Tech play-by-play announcer Wes Durham, during a telecast which will also include the four Lombardi Award finalists, Manti Te'o of Notre Dame, Barrett Jones of Alabama, Jadeveon Clowney of South Carolina and Jarvis Jones of Georgia.
The ceremonies also will include Nebraska's legendary head coach and former US Congressman Tom Osborne, Apollo 17 astronaut Captain Eugene Cernan (the last man to walk on the moon as December marks the 40th anniversary of NASA's last lunar landing), Green Bay Packer star Jerry Kramer, 1993 Lombardi Award winner and proud Notre Dame alum Aaron Taylor and actress Dyan Cannon of the football movie "Heaven Can Wait."
The evening and broadcast will be hosted by former NFL & University of Oklahoma star running
back Spencer Tillman of CBS Sports.
"All of us associated with this year's annual Lombardi Award ceremonies are pleased that we
will also get to honor University of North Carolina broadcasting legend Woody Durham," said Tillman. "All too often broadcasters are put into specific categories. Woody Durham didn't fit into any one
category, in fact he created one. With limitless passion, no matter the score, he was inspiring...
He is THE Voice of the Tar Heels!"
It is fitting that this inaugural Excellence In College Broadcasting honor be bestowed upon Woody Durham, whose middle name is "Lombardi."
The 43rd Annual Vince Lombardi Award ceremonies are a presentation of the Rotary Club
of Houston and proceeds from this event will benefit the American Cancer Society.

Well it would be really cool, and I happened to ask the proper authorities about it. Unfortunately while they do have a gold glitter ink, it doesn't hold a fine line and until they find something that does they won't offer it to artists, just internal products. That's the official word.

Re: domo kitten
Hey, I just want to thank everyone for the really astonishing run of votes you've given this design. I wish I'd thought of it a couple of days earlier, though the vote totals in this derby are so high it probably couldn't have caught up even then. Anyway, thanks for this great, fun ride. :^D
Re: The Dark Knight
I like the detail of the bat, even if it is too fine to print.
Re: Facey Mcfacerson
I love it !!! Especially the drool and slime outline. GMV!!
Re: Escher A Sketch
Don't understand why this hasn't been rejected... It is a blatant copy of an existing work. Does Woot only reject an entry if it has a chance of winning???
Re: Exposed
I had a similar idea to this, but couldn't possibly do it as well. GMV!!
Re: My Heart is an Open Bookshelf
Impressive detail, but i thinks it's a bit small.
Sorry i didn't mean small, just the placement needs adjusting a bit to the left. so it's more centered.

Discussion in 'November 2012' started by roscoe36, Oct 29, 2012.
I can't believe this city has an NHL hockey team.
I'm pretty there are no cities with NHL hockey teams right now.
We lost to the team with the best record in the league and if not for the 22 turnovers, the game could have gone to the wire They beat us even with my fantasy stud Zebo, having a subpar game. Speaking of subpar, our guards didn't really have it tonight. Stuckey was 3 of 11 from the field and Knight was 3 for 9 with six turnovers and no assists. Let's hope that we can get the Mavs tomorrow with the style of play that paid off in the last two games.
The Pistons did all right tonight. Conley played well and gave them a lot of trouble. This Pistons have the same problem they've had the last few years. There isn't a lot of difference between their 1st and 2nd string guys. Knight plays as well as Stuckey and Stuckey plays as well as Knight. I don't think the Pistons would skip a beat if they switched roles.
Monroe and Tay competed at the next level. No guard play again. No half-court offense. Drummond needs to eventually step in and play along side Monroe to match this type of team up front. The good news is Monroe is showing signs that he will be an offensive force and a serious piece. The Pistons will have to draft a guard this year and find a scorer. The team just gives away a lot in inexperience. On one play, Knight was down and instead of calling time out, he threw the ball away for their fast break. Broke Piston momentum at the time. There were other similar plays. Does any team get less from its veterans than the Pistons in these type of games? The Pistons should try and muck up every game with defense. This game was still a good effort on that end. This team is not designed to score a lot of points in general.
Coach did ok. Not great. If he had subbed in a shooting guard for Singler when Singler got into foul trouble in the first half (instead of Stuckey giving us zero chance to score with no shooting guard who can shoot in the game), and left CV in just a bit too long at one point, hey, it would have been a fine coaching job. GM evaluation. Why did he bring Maggette in? Lots of young, promising swing players, and Maggette is taking their minutes. We could have used a better defender tonight. Monroe used his speed to get past Gasol a couple times early, and all together, Monroe had at least 3 reverse layups in the game from post ups. Not a bad game really. Between him and JMAX (mostly JMAX) Randolph was held to a fairly miserable night. Really can't say our big man play was the problem tonight. Of course, CV can't defend really, but when their star front line was in CV was pretty much out. Guard play. We always had a point guard. And except for a totally wasted 4 minutes or so at the end of the 1st quarter, the point guard had a shooting guard in the game. In fact, our second unit for a good amount of time featured 3 good outside shooters, although only CV and Singler made any of their 3's. Maggette missed his, and that hurt us. (Small sample though - really, the whole team wass missing their shots from distance - except CV.) Knight made several mistakes, unforced, even when he had no reason to make an error. Not really a good game for him. I suppose though, life could be a bit easier if Tay was replaced by a strong 3 point shooter in the starting unit. But hey, that starting unit once again came out the gate ahead, and they eliminated much of a deficite to begin the 3rd quarter. I checked the boxscore, and Knight was only minus 3 in this game. So the setup continues to work. At least to start games. Got to hand it to the Memphis bench. They made their shots. But then again, we could be a whole lot stronger on defense. For instance, Drummond only had one foul in this game. Nothing limited his minutes except the coach. Why does coach feels he needs 3 shooters in the 2nd unit, but only one for the starters? Kim English can knock down 3's, and play D. So we could have been running a 2nd unit of Stuckey, English, Singler, (Monroe or JMAX staying with the 2nd unit), Drummond. Way more of defensive unit, but still with 2 shooters for spacing.) So in all, yes we had problems keeping the ball in our hands, but the coach - and GM - could work to keep a bit better of a product on the floor for us fans to root for.
This was actually a pretty good game. It showed who we are. We played hard, we played decent defense. But we don't have great guards or perimeter shooters. Max, Monroe, Singler, Tay and to some extent Stuckey are who they are; Knight is the inconsistent wild card, if he plays well, we're a playoff team; if he sucks-we suck, it's just that simple. Had we taken care of the ball we would have been OK but with 2 PG's playing awful........it is what it is. Games like this are how Will Bynum stays in the rotation. When you play as poorly as Knight and Stuckey a coach is very tempted to go to Will and in those situations Will plays GREAT! I guarantee had coach gone to Will when Knight and Stuckey were stinking up the joint, Will would have responded with one of his epic performances.....thus cementing back into the rotation where he would revert back to sucking at PG with regular playing time.
When you review this game in slo-mo, watch Singlers overall defense, it was AWESOME. Some of his plays had me jumping up screaming, "Thatta boy!" He played GREAT help defense, he rotated well, he switched and recovered well too. If the coach could get that same effort from all of the guards and Greg Monroe (as you well know Max does all of that every game) we'd be a tough team to reckon with. Singler's BBall IQ is off the charts!
So we close to 3 twice and they immediately start their run to 7-10 then Frank calls the the T/O. Why not stall at the 5 pt. [they scored] down to enhance the Dee to get the tie ? [to stop their run]
0 assists and 6 TO for Brevin Knight and the Memphis announcers kept repeating "he just wont pass" when Stuckey had the ball. It's hard to win against one of the top teams in the league with that at pointguard and also being the color commentator probably didn't help Brevin.
You had me so messed up reading this that I first though, I'm surprised having that other Knight announcing the game wasn't screwing me up and then I sat here trying to remember his name when you were giving it to me all along.
I'm not 100% sure why, but Mike Conley reminds me a lot of Brandon Knight. It took him awhile to seperate himself (somewhat) from the pack, but as the DetNews pointed out this morning the Grizzlies success has coincided with his emergence.
I thought BK7 had made a breakthrough in the last few games. He had broken through an imaginary wall and was headed toward greatness. Then, last night, he broke back through the wall the other way...and now he's on the other side of the wall again. But the wall has a hole in it now so it will be easier for him to break back through it again.
The kid is young and therefore inconsistent. Guard defense he faces was relatively weak and it made him look good. As he improves, he will deal better vs. better defensive pressure.
Yeah, I can see that already real time too. Singler is proving a better defender than I imagined him for. And very versatile - if he gets stuck on their power forward, yes, he has a size disadvantage - but he at least fights.
I know Knight did not have his best game. But yet, I must point out, that Knight is part of our starting unit, and our starting unit came out the gate in each half playing very well. Actually, one of the best overall games when just looking at the start of each of the halves. Knight did not play all bad.
What's most impressive is how when he gets switched, he fights and competes, but when the ball is reversed or moved he really hustles back to the original match up and doesn't get lazy. Singler is playing the best defense that I have seen from a Piston since the Wallace X's 2 era. Which explains some of our success with this starting lineup. Max is a great defender, Singler is playing great defense, Tay is still a decent defender; if Knight can lock in we're pretty solid. Monroe still struggles.
we were a step slow all game, they got the lucky bounces, their hands were quicker, their shots were falling. we would need to be perfect to beat a team in this zone.
* the commentators name was Knight ????? what ?
Separate names with a comma.

Hello From Mike Ess[ In case you just subscribed, Mike Ess started this Newsletter, and edited/published/delivered/wrote the first 87 issues. ]
Congratulations and Hello from Mike Ess from DEC West
With the 100th T3D newsletter, ARSC has shown its commitment to distribute information to the T3D community. Parallel processing is tough, and sometimes the right information, at the right time, can make a big difference. I hope that that ARSC someday, publishes the 200th T3E newsletter. Since leaving ARSC, I have taken a job working on DEC's version of the Visual C++ compiler in Windows NT. (I guess I just couldn't get enough of that DEC Alpha processor). Seattle is as close to Alaska as I could get in the lower 48 but a world apart.
Mike Ess( firstname.lastname@example.com
Don Morton Drives the Alcan -- Again[ We got a response to the following question, which you may remember from > Newsletter #98 . ]
> > What's the mileage to Lawton, OK from Fairbanks, AK? (How 'bout route, > bandwidth, and latency?) >
Mileage - 3900 miles - 3900 LONG miles!! Route - Only 2 possibilities to Edmonton - Alcan or Cassiar Bandwidth - Two-lane till around Edmonton Latency - VERY heavy, due to number of motor-homes!!
Meet ARSC's Big T3D Users[ Run "mppview" right now: I bet you'll see some familiar names. I asked our big T3D users to contribute something for this Newsletter, and got the following responses (I bet everyone else is on vacation). Thanks to all! ]

Project Title: High-performance Modeling of the Arctic Ocean and Sea Ice. People Involved: - Wieslaw Maslowski, Albert Semtner, Yuxia Zhang, Naval Postgraduate School - Anthony Craig, Robert Chervin, NCARThis project can be described in short as an advanced oceanographic application using massively parallel processor (MPP) and parallel-vector processor (PVP) architectures. Our modeling efforts to use advanced computers have resulted in development of two high resolution coupled models of the Arctic Ocean and Sea Ice. The PVP-version uses a modified free-surface version of the Semtner/Chervin parallel ocean climate model (POCM) coupled to the thermodynamic-dynamic sea-ice model of Hibler with more efficient numerics (this version runs elsewhere now). The MPP- version uses the Parallel Ocean Program (POP) of Los Alamos National Laboratory adapted to the Arctic Ocean coupled to a recently developed massively parallel version of the above mentioned sea ice model. The model domain extends beyond the Central Arctic and includes the Nordic Seas, Canadian Archipelago, and subarctic North Atlantic. The resolution is ~18km (1/6-degree in rotated coordinates) and 30 levels.
In this ongoing study both models have already been integrated for multi- decades (the MPP-version for 80+ years) using high-frequency realistic atmospheric forcing. We will continue integration (~200 years) of the massively parallel coupled model forced with high-frequency multi-year observed and re-analyzed atmospheric forcing to determine the long-term turbulent circulation of the ice-covered Arctic Ocean. An eddy-resolving version of the model at 1/12-degree (~9km) and 40 levels will be configured and run as soon as a new more powerful Cray T3E becomes available at ARSC.
Many scientific and practical applications can be made with the model and its output, related to climate change, navigational forecasts, biological productivity, pollutant dispersal, and basic ocean dynamics. Our results already provide improved information on ocean thermohaline and wind-driven circulation, water mass formation, shelf/basin and ice/ocean interactions, and neutral tracers dispersion in the Arctic.

Meet Tom BaringI'm a User Consultant specializing on the T3D, and the current editor of this Newsletter.
ARSC hired me last November. Prior to that, I had been a software engineer at NOAA's Climate Monitoring and Diagnostics Lab (CMDL) in Boulder, where I worked with Dr. Jim Elkins on in situ measurements of stratospheric halocompounds and nitrous oxide. In other words, we studied the ozone hole.
Jim (et al) build miniaturized, high-precision gas chromatographs and launch them in balloons and stratospheric aircraft. If you're interested, here's the URL:
I started at NOAA while finishing up my master's in computer science at CU-Boulder, where I worked on load-balancing and distributed processing. Here's the URL of the CS department at Boulder:
Shmem and The MPI 2 One-Sided Communication InterfaceEPCC provides a "prototype implementation of a subset of the currently proposed [MPI 2] One-sided Communications interface." If this standard is accepted, it could be a boon to T3D users who desire the low latency and speed of the shmem routines, but fear their platform dependence.
I have written a program which performs simple timings of a one-sided "put" operation, and implemented it using both EPCC's MPI2 library and CRI's shmem library. My code, makefiles, and results, running on ARSC's T3D, are provided below. We expect that, since the MPI2 routines are built on top of shmem, they will add some overhead. They seem to increase latency, per "Put" call, by 20 or so microseconds for small buffers, and decrease bandwidth by 1-10 mbytes/sec for large buffers.
Here is my timing algorithm: ---------------------------- switch on PE type: case SENDER: Synchronize at barrier; Start timer; Put data to the RECEIVER PE; Stop timer; case RECEIVER: Synchronize at barrier; Start timer; Wait for acknowledgment that Put has completed; Stop timer; end switch;
The primary usefulness of the MPI2 prototype is probably stated best in EPCC's documentation. This is available, in postscript, at:
Title: "Using MPI 2 One Sided Communications on Cray T3D." Author: A. Gordon Smith Date: 12 Dec 1995. Here is an excerpt: "The MPI 2 Forum is actively - at the time of writing - devising extensions to the standard message-passing interface, MPI. One area of this effort is the One-sided Communications interface. This attempts to standardise remote memory read and write operations, within the existing MPI framework. The communications model provided is similar to that of the Cray T3D Shared Memory Access (SMA) library, via shmem_put and shmem_get, familiar to many Cray T3D users. Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre (EPCC) has provided an efficient and robust MPI for the Cray T3D and has extended this with a prototype implementation of a subset of the currently proposed One-sided Communications interface. It is hoped that this will encourage a useful exchange between Cray T3D users and the MPI2 Forum: T3D users benefit from the portability required of MPI One-sided; and the MPI 2 Forum benefits from feedback on the proposal from Cray T3D users that have developed skills and experience using the remote read/write model."
Incidentally, Gordon Smith has been extremely helpful whenever I have had questions concerning either EPCC/MPI or EPCC/MPI2.
Another source of information is the MPI2 page at Argonne National Laboratory:

I'm a second year microbiology undergraduate and I very much enjoy all of your podcasts; they are a great pleasure to listen and I wait for the new ones every week.
Since the last episode was all about copper I would thought it would be appropriate to point out this paper published in Nature in 1984- "Why whip egg whites in copper bowls?".
Who would have thought that a paper about copper bowls and cooking could've been published in Nature :)
I also think that this paper could be shortly discussed one one of the podcast: traditional mutational study but seems quite perspective- what do you think?
"Identification of Salmonella Pathogenicity Island-2 Type III Secretion System Effectors Involved in Intramacrophage Replication of S. enterica Serovar Typhimurium: Implications for Rational Vaccine Design"

Bravo Michael!
I formerly developed a oxygen radical (not ozone) surgical instrument sterilizer so have dealt with the difficulties of disinfection and HSAs. Successfully sold to Stryker Instruments.
You mention the problem of economically obtaining copper hardware due to the pervasive use of plastic. If you think about our common household plumbing fixtures, it is clear that plastic can be plated with many metals and shipped around the world by air.
Plastic plumbing fixtures are typically plated with electroless copper followed by nickel then chromium. Air shipment is not an issue so your former plating vendor simply did not have the technique/knowledge to give you a sturdy uncontaminated injection molded part. I was involved on the development of many of these processes in the 70s. Rhom & Haas is still a major supplier of plating solutions and methods.
Similarly, any metal part can be easily plated in whole or in part with copper or copper alloys by the OEM. A quick swipe with ammonia will remove finger oils which could allow bacterial film growth and will expose fresh copper surface.
Despite all this antimicrobial furor, I look forward to the "omic" studies identifying how many HSAs are from the environment vs. the patient. Microbiome studies seem to be showing that microbial diversity balance rather than eradication is often the key mechanism of maintaining health.
Thanks to all you TWIV, TWIP & TWIMmers for creating and maintaining one of the most educational, accessible and plain old FUN scientific forums ever!
Best Regards,

I love your show, especially the recent episode about the use of copper in hospitals.
I am a nursing student at University of Nevada, Las Vegas and I am always cleaning patient bed rails and call lights. Patient hands are not the only thing that comes in contact with bed rails. The rail is also frequently used by nurses to temporarily hang pieces of tape while inserting an IV or changing a dressing. The tape, with all its germs attached, is removed from the bed rail and taped onto the patient's skin in close proximity to an open wound.
A future study might include the pathogens transmitted by stethescopes. People are pretty good about washing their hands, but I never see anyone cleaning their stethescope. It is my very unscientific, empiric observation that the stethescope is one of the biggest fomites in any hospital. I have seen copper writing pens for sale, but I am not aware of anyone who makes a copper coated stethescope.
Another possible fomite is employee badges, they come in contact with our patients when we lean over them (I stuff mine in my pocket so it does not contact the patient.)

What is the Difference between Organic and Synthetic Fertilizer?
Fertilizers come from many sources. Synthetic fertilizers are manufactured from minerals, gasses from the air and waste materials. Organic fertilizers obtain their nutrients from natural sources such as microbes, organic waste, and other similar materials.
What is Synthetic Fertilizer?
Synthetic fertilizers are best known for being fast-acting and for coming in a variety of forms (liquid, pellets, granules, spikes, etc.). Synthetic fertilizers are water-soluble and can be taken up by the plant almost immediately. While this provides quick greening, the color will not last and consumers must reapply regularly to keep the results from fading.
The quick results of synthetics can come with other disadvantages as well. Applying too much synthetic fertilizer can "burn" foliage and damage your plants. Synthetic fertilizers give plants a quick boost but do little to improve soil texture, stimulate soil life, or improve your soil's long-term fertility. Because synthetic fertilizers are highly water soluble, they can also leach out into our waterways.
What is Organic Fertilizer?
Organic fertilizers are different in that they provide benefits to plants and soil. Organic fertilizers stimulate beneficial soil microorganisms and improve the structure of the soil. Soil microbes play an important role in converting organic fertilizers into soluble nutrients that can be absorbed by plants. Organic fertilizers will provide all the secondary and micro-nutrients your plants need.
Organic fertilizers typically have a lower NPK analysis than synthetics but feed plants for a much longer period of time. Because of this, the impact of organic fertilization is usually more subtle. It takes a little longer to get results, but the reward is a green that lasts.
Horticulture expert, Melinda Myers, reviews the differences between organic and synthetic fertilizer and how to select the right fertilizer for your lawn and garden.

There was the wide-open lay-up for Jason Washburn. He appeared to be bumped with no whistle forthcoming. Mark Lyons took the loose ball, raced the other way, scored and was fouled.
That sequence for all purposes ended any chance of Utah upsetting Arizona on Sunday. The Utes went down 56-51 and never drew even again.
There was the no-call on Jarred DuBois after he induced Solomon Hill with a pump fake. DuBois leaned into the Arizona small forward, but got a no-call. That ended a chance for a pair of free-throws that could've drawn Utah closer.
Utes fans point to those two calls as turning points. This blog agrees - halfway.
Washburn was definitely fouled. But Utah's defensive balance on that play was flawed, which led to Lyons being able to make a huge play.
DuBois wasn't fouled. Replays show Hill jumped straight into the air, while DuBois created contact. You can't reward that with foul shots.
Utah fans haven't been happy with the officiating in a few games. This blog agrees they have a point. But Utah is tied for 10th in the Pac-12, and calls don't generally come for teams in those positions.
Still, the Utes have improved. And they will get better. Perhaps the perception of their place in the league will improve as well.

Algeria Facts Flag
Algeria, in northwest Africa on the Mediterranean coast, is the second largest country in Africa after Sudan. The Sahara covers more than four-fifths of its territory, where the inhabitants are concentrated in oases surrounded by desert. More than 90 percent of Algerians live along the Mediterranean coastlands on only 12 percent of the country's land. The Atlas Mountains cross Algeria east to west along the Mediterranean coast, with the north-facing slopes receiving good winter rainfall; the southern slopes, southern ranges, and interior plateaus get little rain.
Since antiquity Algeria has enticed settlers—Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, Turks—and, in the 19th century, French farmers. The French organized Algeria into departments and disenfranchised native Arabs and Berbers. In 1954 Algerians rebelled; the war that followed took a million lives before independence in 1962, and a million French colonists left. Socialist-style, military-dominated governments pinned their hopes on huge oil and natural gas reserves in the Algerian Sahara. But low petroleum prices, a high birthrate, and austere policies produced a dismal economic picture. Algerians demanded democratization, and many migrated to France.
Since 1991 Algerian politics have been dominated by violence between the military and Islamic militants. While the level of violence has died down, Algeria still experiences bombings and suicide attacks. The government is also challenged by unrest from the Berber-speaking minority in the mountainous northeast. A multibillion-dollar investment to build up the country's infrastructure is under way, and a government-sanctioned charter for peace and reconciliation has been implemented in the hopes of moving the country toward lasting stability.

Microbiologist John Franklin Enders, virologist Thomas H. Weller and physician Frederick Chapman Robbins together develop a technique to grow poliovirus in test tube cultures of human tissues. This approach gave virologists a practical tool for the isolation and study of viruses. Enders, Weller and Robbins were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology in 1954.

Compare great BMW Interim Service and MOT prices in Romford with Who Can Fix My Car.
Work was done promptly. Alternator was changed and car has been fine ever since.
I get the following quote from this garage: "Full Service including parts and labour and MOT including fitting of tyres will be £195 we will change oil, all filters, and Fluids and do a engine flush using Forte flush we will also carry a vehicle health check for free. " The think is i don't know what they did there because i left the car at 09:30 and pick up after 4 hours at 13:30, i can see the tyres are changed and mot test paper. I don't know about the oil, filtres, engine flush, fluids and vehicle health check. If the screenwash liquid is part of the "fluids" then they didn't fill-up screenwash tank, rest of the fluids i can't say enything i don't have to much knowledge about, the liquids in rest of the tanks looks at good limit but the tanks caps are still dirty is no marks of touch on them. About the oil, after i drive around 10 miles and checked is look very dirty is black like a old one, if they changed then definitely they didn't make a engine flush, filtres no idea. So if i going back there i wold like to assist at the job and see what happen there.

Selected this garage to do my brake pads, disk and sensors on my Bmw 3 series. Communication was good. Did a good job, friendly staff and a nice, clean waiting area.
Cured the problem, but expensive I shouldn't think they are to far off main dealer prices
Very nice people, job done to a high standard. Even stayed late after they closed just to finish the job after wrong parts were sent. Thanks guys.

For targets and HD, you don't mention concealed carry, I think the Glock 30 is a bit on the small side. It will work though. I'd explore larger frame sizes. Glock 21 for instance. You might do well to consider the Springfield XD series as well, they are comparable in price & style. Check Out the Stoeger Cougar as well, they are old school metal frame Beretta's manufactured in Turkey, well made and very good value. There are a number of good guns that can be found in your price range. If possible, go to a range and rent several different models and see which you prefer.
I also recommend that you seek some sort of handgun familiarization training if you're a complete handgun novice. This may also help you in you search.
