Winter Tires? Or All-Season Tires?
Winterizing Your Vehicle - Tirecenter Plus Tire Pros
Another winter storm coming? Before you rush to the store for the last gallon of milk and loaf of bread, you'll want to be sure your car is ready to battle the elements. Follow these tips before venturing out into the winter wonderland.
- Check your Cooling System. Have your mechanic check your hoses, belts and anti-freeze. A weakened hose or belt can break and leave you stranded, or a weak solution of anti-freeze can ice up and damage your cooling system. Hoses shouldn't have cracks or become softened. In extreme temperature drops, keep an eye on your hoses and belts, as low temperatures can cause additional breakage or weak spots.
- Check Your Battery. Make sure your car's battery connection is clean, tight and corro ...[more]
Choosing the Right Tire - Tirecenter Plus Tire Pros
We know you've heard it before, but it's critical enough to repeat: the tires you choose for your vehicle are important. It is critical to understand that the tires on your vehicle are the one single link to the road surface. To keep the rest of your vehicle performing at its peak, your tires are the very foundation of your vehicle.
Different quality tires will last for different periods of time, depending on wear and tear. Regular maintenance is key to longer tread life, but tread wears down over time and with use. Once you get to the point where you need to replace your tires, there are several choices that you can make. The easiest choice is get the exact size and make that originally came on the vehicle, when it was new. Beyond that, you might consider going to a better quality tire or ...[more]

You know, I had seen somewhere in another thread that there was some hand-wringing about Joseph and his numbers this year. He's given up 26 runs in 21 innings, which at first glance is woefully alarming.
But upon further inspection, is there absolutely any reason to be worried?
He's also got 26 strikeouts in those same 21 innings. He's given up only a respectable nine walks in 21 innings. He's got a 2:1 groundball to flyball ratio and 63% strike rate, which is respectable.
There was some talk his velocity is down. I have no idea if that's the case and obviously haven't watched him so I'm only going by the numbers. But given the strength of all these peripherals, is his high ERA really anything more than a very random fluke? Perhaps there's something more at play, but it seems to me if there are issues, they're minor in the grand scheme of things.

Wayne Law Professor Benson Honored for Teaching Excellence
DETROIT (Sept. 19, 2008) –Wayne State University Law School Assistant Professor Jocelyn Friedrichs Benson has been honored by the School with the Donald H. Gordon Award for Excellence in Teaching.
"Professor Benson is very deserving of this recognition and honor," said Wayne Law Dean and Professor of Law Robert M. Ackerman. "Her dedication to her students and to the law is remarkable, and her expertise in election law and civil rights law is extraordinary. Our students are fortunate to learn from such an accomplished and knowledgeable individual."
The Donald H. Gordon Award for Excellence in Teaching, which was established by friends of Donald H. Gordon who served as dean of Wayne Law from 1975 to 1980, was awarded in Professor Benson's name at the State Bar of Michigan Annual Meeting in Dearborn on Sept. 18, 2008.
"I am deeply honored to receive this award," Benson said. "I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to teach and work with the energetic and inspiring students of Wayne Law, and it means a great deal to me to be recognized in this way."
Professor Benson joined the Wayne Law faculty in 2005. She teaches courses in election law, education law, race and the law, sports and inequality, and civil procedure. She has also published numerous articles on election administration and voting rights for English learning voters.
She serves as the founder and director of the Richard Austin Center on Election Law and Administration, and is a member of the American Bar Association's Standing Committee on Election Law. She is also in the process of writing a book entitled Democracy and the Secretary: the Crucial Role of State Secretaries of State in Promoting Democracy. The book will highlight the crucial role that a state's chief election administrator plays in the electoral process and illustrate how Secretaries from either side of the political spectrum are making significant contributions to promoting democracy.
Some of Professor Benson's past professional experiences include: serving as an adjunct faculty fellow at the University of California Berkeley Law School's Warren Institute on Race, Ethnicity and Diversity; serving as a law clerk to The Honorable Damon J. Keith on the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit; and serving as the National Field Director for Election Protection for the Democratic National Committee during the 2004 presidential election.
Last year, Harry Belafonte appointed her to serve as his Detroit Director of the Gathering for Justice program he founded in 2006. Her work for Belafonte culminated in a two-day conference at YouthVille Detroit that brought together 130 high school students and 200 community members, including Congressman Conyers and Grace Lee Boggs, to build an agenda for grassroots economic and educational empowerment in Detroit. She currently serves on a number of boards and committees including the American Bar Association's Standing Committee on Election Law, and the board of directors for Community Legal Resources and Transportation Riders United.
Professor Benson graduated from Wellesley College, where she founded the now-annual Women American Political Activism conference and was the first student to be elected to serve in the governing body for the town of Wellesley, the Town Meeting. She earned her master's degree in sociology as a Marshall Scholar at Oxford University in the United Kingdom, conducting research into the sociological implications of white supremacy and neo-Nazism. She received her J.D from Harvard Law School, where she was a general editor of the Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review.
Wayne State University Law School has educated and served the Detroit metropolitan area since its inception as Detroit City Law School in 1927. Located at 471 W. Palmer St. in Detroit's re-energized historic cultural center, the Law School remains committed to student success and features modern lecture and court facilities, multi-media and distance learning classrooms, a 250-seat auditorium, and the Arthur Neef Law Library, which houses one of the nation's 40 largest legal collections. Taught by an internationally recognized and expert faculty, Wayne State Law School students experience a high-quality legal education via a growing array of hands-on curricular offerings, five live-client clinics, and access to well over 100 internships with local and non-profit entities each year. Its 11,000 living alumni, who work in every state of the nation and more than a dozen foreign countries, are experts in their disciplines and include leading members of the local, national and international legal communities.

text: Obviously they have to skate clean in the actual competition, but other than that, what else do they need to beat the other pairs? For a pair in their first year together, they looked very good in 2011. IMO there are areas where they can improve. They seemed very technical this past year, and it was understandable. They had to get the moves down- different throwing technique, getting the unison down, etc. For a first year pair, their unison was quite good, but it could be better. I would like to see a better line (though under COP it's not that important), and a better connection between them. Tatiana has always been strong technically and I hope she will maintain that. We don't know yet how they will react to pressure. S&S and Pang & Tong cannot be ignored, as they have been on top for years. What do V&T need to do to surpass them? Also other pairs that are going to develop- Sui-Han, and young Russian pairs could challenge them. What will give them the edge? Will skating consistently clean give them the edge by becoming the judges' favorites? Do they need more difficult throws, jumps, etc.? Certainly not the quad throw since it's high risk and not enough reward under the COP.

Mozilla Releases First 'Rapid Release' Firefox, 5.0
It's been a mere three months since we all welcomed Firefox 4 with open arms, but the time has come to put that out-dated browser out to pasture and move onto the bigger, better and badder 5! Alright, so this might be a 'major' release given that Mozilla has upped its release schedule to see four new version increments each year, but with these regular releases, we'll never have to wait too long for some of the latest Web technologies to be implemented.

At last the death of Firefox!
What makes FF strong? The ability to use 10001 extentions... What messes up those extensions, every (even minor) upgrade of FF...

... Only because of the way the extension framework currently works. However, it's been known to many of us that a simple edit on one line of the java file contents is all we usually need to do in order to get one extension to work in the new version, without having to wait for the extension maker to do it herself or himself.
What bothered me instead was why Firefox felt it needed to emulate Chrome rapid release cycle. Where did it ever felt that Chrome development methodology was an advantage over Firefox previous model. This decision killed for good any hope Firefox could ever have of making its way into the corporate environment. It's now for good (and for bad or worse) a "people's browser". And even more damaging, it pitches Firefox toe-to-toe with Google Chrome. And that battle cannot be won. In fact, it was already lost to me, for instance. Just very recently (last week, if you want to know) I put an end to my 5 year relationship with Firefox. 5 years, not 5 months. 5 years is a lot of time. It's the type of time that no one can accuse me of just not knowing what I am doing.
When Firefox team decides to adopt rapid release cycles, Firefox loses the only thing that differentiated it from Chrome. With one aggravation, Firefox is entirely a collaboration project. This makes Firefox much more open to "the user is the tester" philosophy than Chrome will ever be, since, while open source, it is controlled by a small team of developers. Now, I don't feel like beta testing Firefox releases thank you. I want to use my browser and trust it. And with that, I said goodbye. There being no more nothing to differentiate them, it was inevitable I compared them. And Chrome, like it or not, is a far superior browser.
In the end, I'm annoyed. Of course I am. Firefox development model was fine as it was. It fitted nicely in the collaboration model it adopted since the very beginning and it had hopes of entering the corporate market where it could put an end to the IE 6 once and for all. In fact, no other browser impacted more on IE 6 than Firefox. I predict this to be the beginning of the end to Firefox. And they can never claim Chrome was the one doing it. When the Mozilla team made this decision to put both browsers on the same level, Firefox was still king of the hill with a far superior market than Chrome.

It's humorous that you mention that, Glider, because I use a single extension and it broke with 5.0.
One thing I've noticed is that neither Mozilla or Google care much about version numbers though. Google has never had the version number even appear on its Chrome homepage, and I noticed last night that Mozilla has opted to do the same. Neither of them want the regular user to care about version numbers anymore, it seems, but it begs the question, why the focus on major increments?
I admit I am back on Firefox and have been since 4.0. I am glad to be "home", but the browser doesn't feel as epic to me as it used to. One thing I -really- liked about Chrome is that its syncing capabilities were near-instant most of the time. Unfortunately, sometimes even if I force a sync on two computers with Firefox, the updates will still take minutes.
I couldn't agree more with you on most of your points though, I've felt the exact same way for a while; hence moving away from Firefox at all. Sadly, as I am not "attached" to it even now, I am sure I will be giving Chrome another good test in another few versions.

I've been using Chrome steady for quite a while. I don't see any reason to switch back to Firefox, really. I am curious as to how it's doing these days, though.

As long as FF takes longer to start then my desktop takes to boot, FF is a nono for me anyway... I use Chrome, and won't turn back to FF anytime soon

I've been noting an increase in users demands for faster and more updates. The rapid release cycle of some popular projects (including Chrome) has given the impression to some people that they get faster and more updates to their software than with more traditional development methods. On the other hand they associate this type of release cycles to faster bug resolution.
Under most cases, they couldn't be further from the truth. Programmers don't just work faster under "release early" models. What happens is that releases are essentially partitioned into smaller parts and those parts make their way into the public. All things being equal, at the end of the day, you get the same number of fixes and the same number of new functionality. Only one gives them incrementally, while the other lumps everything into a major/minor release.
The RERO (Release Early and Release Often) methodology has, in my opinion, been taken entirely out of the original context by too many a developer team, through the years. Moreover, it isn't necessarily something one should wish applied to all sorts of projects or for all sorts of users (the corporate market segment is an example of one market that isn't sympathetic at all to RERO). But more damaging, this methodology is today being brandished more and more as a marketing tool that tries to give users the idea that they get more and better in less time. And users easily buy that notion, being that consumer greed (and a certain dose of naiveté, I'm afraid) is unfortunately widespread in our societies.
Truth however is that you get essentially the same during the same period of time. And it's usually only after a lengthy period of time that you can eventually know if you got any better. The fact is that RERO removes testing time. The burden is put almost entirely on the shoulders of beta testers and final users (being that beta testing cycles are them too shortened). So the possibility of introducing more bugs into public releases is there, is very real, and is very common.
Now, if you are coding an API, some sort of programming framework, or an operating system kernel, or a MMO game, or any other type of project where there is a tangible, very real, benefit to rapid release cycles that's when you want to do it. Similarly if you have a small, dedicated, competent and well organized team of developers. And that is what Eric S. Raymond was referring to when he first coined it. He never meant to say this is the best way to do it. He was saying this was the best way to do it if you are doing anything that can draw some real benefit from it and if you meet the conditions to do it.
And the most annoying bit about all this marketing hype response to consumer demands, is that in fact the full phrase is "Release early. Release often. And listen to your customers." You notice the "And". It's because the former doesn't work at all if you don't do the latter. That's in fact the whole point of doing it. And has Mozilla been known for listening to its user base?...
If we settled down a bit, took a deep breath, and stopped wanting to be everywhere, every time, and as fast as possible, maybe just maybe we wouldn't put the wrong pressure on development teams to solve non-issues and the software we use today would have less bugs, be better constructed and have more functionality.
Just saying.

I've printed out the templates and here's where I am so far.
So I'm gonna sit here and scratch my head until my scalp bleeds while I try to figure this out. Once my epiphany hits me I'll run to Walmart to get my supplies and jump right in. :lol

"I really like this invite when I ordered it online it looked great but I I received it the print was so tiny I could hardly see it. I called their customer service and they send me new invites with larger fonts looks great Amazing customer service"
"No regrets buying the invitation at Tinyprints. It's cheap but the quality is not sacrificed. The free design review is a great addition to the service. I requested to verify that the photo resolution is good for printing, and the reviewer addressed it and assured me the photo is of excellent quality. The invitations arrived earlier than expected, and packed very well. No folds on the corners of the invitation and the envelopes. I love the product and the service I received."
"I am very pleased with this card- the design and quality are great! Makes a very elegant invite and was a snap to personalize. Would definitely order again."

John Harrigan: In matters of wolves, and deer as road pizza
JOHN HARRIGAN | June 15. 2013 3:09AM
Years later - we made 13 trips to Menihek - John Lanier and I were fishing in the river and we both saw flotsam and jetsam in the water. Lanier was below me, trying for salmon. "Hey," I yelled, and he looked upriver to see two caribou swimming. It was that kind of place. The wolves by then were long gone.
"Wolves are recovered and they are now in good hands," Daniel Ashe, director of the federal Fish and Wildlife Service, said at a Washington press conference announcing the plan to delist the gray wolf from endangered species protection. Wolves are doing fine in the northern Rockies and the Great Lakes region, he said, and there is no need to keep viewing them as "endangered." The individual states, he said, can manage wolves.
I've been seeing lots of deer. Two back-to-back mild winters have resulted in a good crop (here comes that word "harvest," which I loath) of 1- and 2-year-olds. Why I haven't hit one with my truck is a wonder.
In states such as Pennsylvania, where the road kill often surpasses our entire hunting kill, deer are often not picked up. It's too dangerous on many highways. Instead, they are run over repeatedly until they resemble road pizza.
Why not me? I've been writing about mountain lions (cougars, panthers, painters, catamounts, wildcats, you name it) for nigh on 40 years, yet never have been in the right place at the right time. Neighbors have seen cougars, one crossing the road right behind my outdoor wood furnace, but not me, curse the gods.

"The Ryme of Gormless Morgan" was a poem composed by Miranda Goshawk and published in the Book of Spells as the conundrum accompanying the book's fourth chapter. The poem tells the tale of Gormless Morgan, a wizard who was made in charge of capturing the Gorgon, a beast that turned men to stone.
The poem
There was a young wizard called Morgan
Whose boss said: 'Go capture the Gorgon!
The creature's so vile
That it might take a while,
Use your brain! It's a most useful organ.'
The Gorgon was fearsome and clever
(Two things that poor Morgan was never).
By staring alone
She could turn men to stone
So they'd have to be statues forever.
Morg's friends told him: 'Think out a plan, first!'
But of all things, he hated to think worst.
'Don't make such a fuss
I'll just take a truss
And trap her before I can be cursed!'
He tried sneaking up from behind her,
But here is a little reminder:
The mirror was made
As a rear-viewing aid
Thus the Gorgon watched Morgan come find her.
They stared in the glass, fiend and Morgan
Four eyes met (of man and of Gorgon):
With no time to moan
Morg was turned into stone
And he never came back; he was forgone.
What was the Gorgon, which Morgan was not?
What traits did she have (while he was a clot)?
What ought you to be, if you would survive?
What qualities help you in staying alive?

|Women in Business Network Connects to New York City
|Women in Business Network Panel in NYC allows students to meet with successful businesswomen and utilize their resources and capabilities.
In collaboration with Career Services and Alumni Hall, the Women in Business (WIB) Network hosted its first Women in Business Panel at Ithaca College's New York Network Night on January 7, 2010. The event, which was held at the Jumierah Essex House in Manhattan, attracted over 200 participants—current students, graduates, and professionals—and featured four accomplished IC graduates working at the top of their respective fields.
"We experienced an extremely good turnout," says Allison Walker '10, business administration major with concentrations in marketing and international business and a minor in Spanish. "The Women in Business Network serves to provide networking opportunities to the students of the business school. The Panel in NYC allowed students to meet with successful businesswomen and utilize their resources and capabilities to pursue future opportunities."
Panelists included the following women:
- Heidi Manheimer ('85), chief executive officer for Shiseido Cosmetics America, the U.S. subsidiary of Japanese cosmetics giant Shiseido Company Ltd. She held several executive positions before becoming CEO in 2006—the first American female CEO in the company's 137-year history. Heidi is very active in cosmetic industry associations and charitable causes. Before joining Shiseido, she held several leadership positions at Barneys New York and Bloomingdale's.
- Carol McCann ('80), director/co-owner of Grandview Island Productions, which produces corporate and commercial programs for numerous Fortune 500 and 100 clients ranging from large-scale events, P.O.S., training, and brand communications using live, broadcast, interactive film, and video mediums. Her clients include UBS, Ford, MetLife, and the NYC Department of Education.
- Tuti B. Scott ('84), president and founder of Imagine Philanthropy, an international consulting firm that supports philanthropists in building effective giving strategies and guides organizations and nonprofit leaders. She lectures internationally on social change, fundraising, and brand building, and previously spent 15 years with the Women's Sports Foundation, where she raised more than $70 million.
- Amy Willtatter ('80), founder/president of Bridge to Hollywood & Broadway, a company that matches national brands with the entertainment industry. Her blend of corporate-entertainment clients has included Aflac, Jim Carrey, Disney/Pixar, Jennifer Aniston, and numerous Broadway clients and productions.
Topics of discussion at the event focused on the women's chosen career paths—as well as how each has handled her position in the economic downturn. Participants also had an opportunity to chat with the panelists after the session and exchange contact information.
"Speaking to the Ithaca students was very exciting for me, as this younger cohort will soon enter the workplace with tremendous enthusiasm and a bounty of new ideas," says panelist Heidi Manheimer ('85). "Their unique insights and skills are becoming ever more important to the future growth of business."
"My education at Ithaca College laid the groundwork for many of my professional successes," says Manheimer. "It was during those four years that I learned and honed many of the skills one needs in order to be successful in any job—self-discipline, problem-solving, teamwork, the ability to see the 'big picture,' and see that picture from many different angles. I feel lucky to be in a position now where I can give back to young people about to embark on their own careers."
"I would most certainly recommend that my peers attend future WIB events," says Walker. "The Panel put into perspective our education at Ithaca College. Sometimes it's hard to see the 'light at the end of the tunnel' when it comes to the work we make toward our degrees. It's a breath of fresh air to meet someone who followed the same path and is successful years after graduation."

I have no nightstand or other furniture beside the bed currently. I have heard of holster type units that are held by a flap that tucks under the mattress which might be ok but am not sure who makes them. I'm interested to hear what others do and any products you might recommend.

A slow start doomed the Canisius College men's lacrosse team on Saturday afternoon as it had its season come to an end in a 13-7 loss at Detroit. With the win, the Titans earn the final bid to the 2013 MAAC Tournament, while the Griffs finish the campaign with a 3-10 record and a 2-4 mark in conference play.
Senior Joe Rautenstrauch led the Griffs with four points on the afternoon, recording two goals and two assists. Senior Hugh Weir, sophomores Brandon Bull and Tim Edwards and freshmen Vince Gravino and Billy Jaccobi each added a goal.
Junior DJ Giacobbo anchored the Canisius defense with a career-best five ground balls and three caused turnovers. Sophomore Alex Govenettio earned the start in net and took the loss, while senior Kyle Bell stopped 7-of-13 shots on goal in relief.
The Titans (3-9, 3-3 MAAC) dominated the first 11 minutes of the contest and it proved to be the difference in the game. Detroit raced out to a 7-1 lead with 3:53 remaining in the opening period, putting the Griffs in a tough early hole in a must-win contest.
Canisius responded well in the second quarter, inching its way back into the game. Bull scored a man-up goal with 10:10 remaining and was followed by Edwards with 5:56 left in the first half. Rautenstrauch then scored his first of the day with just eight seconds remaining in the second quarter to pull the Griffs within three at the intermission, 7-4.
However, the deficit proved to be too big to overcome. The Titans scored six of the first seven goals in the second half before Canisius netted the final two tallies for the 13-7 final score.
The Griffs finished the game with a 39-33 advantage in shots on the afternoon. Canisius also won 16-of-24 faceoffs led by Bull's 8-of-10 effort at the X.
A.J. Levell led the Titans to the victory, recording 18 saves between the pipes. Alex Maini led Detroit with four points on the offensive end, scoring one goal to go along with three assists.
Game Notes: The 18 saves by Detroit's Levell are the most by a Canisius opponent since Chris Sochacki also had 18 for Wagner on April 8, 2006 … Senior Mike Moran finished the season with a .614 faceoff winning percentage, the second-highest mark in school history … The game was a rematch of a 2012 MAAC Semifinal, which Canisius, 12-10 … The Titans have now won 3-of-5 all-time meetings with the Griffs, including both contests in Detroit.

Top Interior Design Programs: SCAD Leads the Way for a Third Consecutive Year
DesignIntelligence releases 2014 rankings, names SCAD programs #1 in the nation
DesignIntelligence has released its 2014 report of "America's Best Architecture & Design Schools," and for an unprecedented third year in a row, the Savannah College of Art and Design is home to the nation's top undergraduate and graduate interior design programs.
"I am ecstatic that design professionals and educators from across the country have once again recognized SCAD's excellence in interior design education and career elevation," said Paula S. Wallace, SCAD president and founder. "Congratulations to our star interior design alumni, faculty and students."
"America's Best Architecture & Design Schools" are ranked annually by DesignIntelligence on behalf of the Design Futures Council. The research ranks undergraduate and graduate programs from the perspective of leading practitioners and educators. Read a complete list of rankings.
"We are extremely proud to be named the top interior design programs again. This achievement speaks volumes about the quality of our respected interior design faculty and the strength of SCAD's interdisciplinary approach," said Khoi Vo, chair of interior design at SCAD. "Our students collaborate with industry partners throughout their time at SCAD, so it's no wonder that our graduates are seen as the best prepared for their profession. There can be no more important measure of our program's success."
Industry trends point to a need for well-rounded design professionals with diverse knowledge of the broader art and design fields, in addition to interior design education and experience. SCAD's Collaborative Learning Center projects and the university's cross-disciplinary approach, with more than 40 majors, actively engage business professionals, students and faculty in authentic, real-world partnerships. Interior design students have collaborated with companies including Dell, Hugo Boss, Intercontinental Hotels Group, Benetton, Microsoft, Reebok, JCB, VTech, Cellular Sales and The Limited.
"During my time at SCAD, I was impressed with the outstanding quality of the students' work. Congratulations to SCAD on this well deserved honor," said world-renowned architect, urban planner, educator, theorist and author Moshe Safdie, who is known from Singapore to Israel for his innovative design work.
SCAD students also gain a global perspective on the discipline by having the opportunity to study interior design at the university's locations in the United States, France, Hong Kong and online. SCAD has created inspiring environments for artists and designers at each of its locations, revitalizing more than 100 buildings around the globe.
The most recent examples of SCAD's meticulous and culturally sensitive revitalization efforts include the Maison Basse in Lacoste, France – a former carriage house of the Marquis de Sade that now serves as a center for the study of art, design and architecture – and the former North Kowloon Magistracy Building in Hong Kong, now SCAD Hong Kong. Like SCAD's other facilities, they marry original, historic features with advanced technology and learning resources in an artfully designed setting. UNESCO, the American Institute of Architects, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation, among others, have recognized SCAD for its efforts.
SCAD also has been recognized by accrediting bodies across the nation for its innovative curriculum, accomplished faculty and exemplary educational resources. The university has received maximum terms of accreditation from the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, GA 30033-4097; telephone number 404.679.4500), National Architectural Accrediting Board, and Council for Interior Design Accreditation (accredit-id.org, 206 Grandville Ave., Suite 350, Grand Rapids, MI 49503).
SCAD: The University for Creative Careers
The Savannah College of Art and Design is a private, nonprofit, accredited institution conferring bachelor's and master's degrees at distinctive locations and online to prepare talented students for professional careers. SCAD offers degrees in more than 40 majors, as well as minors in over 60 disciplines in Savannah and Atlanta, Georgia; in Hong Kong; in Lacoste, France; and online through SCAD eLearning. Visit our official blog.
About the SCAD interior design program
Students pursuing interior design degrees study the relationship humans have with environments and objects around them to conceive and design holistic, functional interiors for hotels, hospitals, museums, offices, homes, schools and much more.

Jane Weston
January 12, 2013
Jane Ellis Weston, of Toponas, passed away Jan. 8, 2013. Jane was preceded in death by her husband, Cecil, in 2008 and grandson Nicholas Rocco Lombardi in 1993. She is survived by her son Terry, of Steamboat Springs; daughters Cathy Courtney (Ray), of Centennial, Patty Murray (Bill), of Lake Bluff, Ill., Mary Jane Logan (Bob), of Yampa, and Jeanie Lombardi (Rocco), of Yampa; 15 grandchildren; and 21 great-grandchildren. Jane's only sibling, Susan Ellis Pellini, of Granby, preceded her in death in 2010.
Jane was born March 21, 1923, in Creston, Iowa, the first of two daughters to Dale and Miriam Ellis. After graduating from high school in 1941, she attended the University of Nebraska briefly before transferring and graduating from the University of Colorado in 1944 with a Bachelor of Science in business. Jane was affiliated with the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority and professional sorority Beta Sigma. She worked summers for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad in Chicago. While in Chicago, at the request of her father, Cecil Weston — a Griswold, Iowa, high school classmate — chaperoned Jane before he entered the Army Air Corps in 1942. Cecil and Jane were married Sept. 28, 1945, in Los Angeles while Cecil still was in the service.
Longtime residents of Routt County, Cecil and Jane moved to Toponas in September 1949, when they purchased and operated the People's Store in Toponas until 1979. The store's motto was, "If we don't have it, you don't want it." Cecil and Jane also were Conoco Oil agents for South Routt County for many years. Cecil and Jane sold the store in 1979 and started Weston Industries, a petroleum products transportation business.
Jane was an active parishioner of St. Martin of Tours Catholic Church in Oak Creek and served on the Altar and Rosary Society since 1949 as a member of the Financial Council and, occasionally, as a substitute organist. She was an active member of the Toponas Community Club and Grand Slammer Bridge Club. Jane was a member of the American Legion Auxiliary Post 189 Bird-howe in Yampa. She was assistant treasurer of the Routt County Foundation for Senior Citizens for many years and served on the Yampa Valley Medical Center board of trustees from 1993 to 2000.
Jane will be missed greatly by her family, friends and the community but was welcomed warmly by Cecil and the good Lord.
Memorial donations can be made in Jane's name and sent to the Healthcare Foundation for the Yampa Valley, P.O. Box 883415, Steamboat Springs, CO 80488.

Ok, im gunna try and make some fibreglass chest armour and I am using clay to make the model, im then going to use plaster to make the cast...but im going to finish modeling all the amrour...this is what I have done so far...what do you think?
Ok, im gunna try and make some fibreglass chest armour and I am using clay to make the model, im then going to use plaster to make the cast...but im going to finish modeling all the amrour...this is what I have done so far...what do you think?
I left a large gap for the chest display because I am going to use a piece of sintra to spilt the two to make it stronger.
If you're going to be pulling in fiberglass you should use silicone to make the mold, then either plaster or fiberglass to make the mold boot.
If you were to vacuum form then the plaster would be an a ok idea.
Looks good tho, keep it up
Perhaps I'm just being stupid (quite likely), but wouldn't plaster work quite adequately if you only plan to make one or two pulls?
Very nice work so far, by the way
Ive read the 'moulding and casting handbook' and that said that doing it this way would be alright....but i am happy to take any advice..Ive never done anything like this before.
but as you can see I have had a productive day....with clay!!(....I have no job and no life well I could be doing worse things I suppose)
i am hoping to get some fibreglass stuff off the net or from a supplier...then I can pick thier brains on the subject...
Thanks for your comments so far
Awesome!! Looks great so far! The only thing I would do is made the ab plate a little shorter, since it looks a little too tall right now. Other than that, it's coming along nicely!
It's nice to see someone else doing this, sculpting their armor and casting it instead of using sintra. I really need to get more work done on my molds now!
That looks really good Zoe!
I'd definitely use silicone though. It's not the cheapest material but I would say it's the best. I can point in the direction of a good UK supplier if you like.
The plaster would probably be "ok" but the thing with a silicone mold is that you can "peel" it off and it would just be easier for you all around. That and it's much more forgiving than plaster.
While you're at the stage right now, refer to your reference photos, the corners and edges should be much more rounded. Aside from that, you're headed in the right direction.
silicone is best.. less chance of stress fractures from pulling. save yourself stress. just my $0.02. ive done it this way before and it works well
This is what I have made.....i am going to buy some silicone to make the moulds then I can get things started...but I have got to wait for all the clay to dry first. I hope this is going to work!

Discussion in 'December 2006' started by max, Dec 2, 2006.
This is the last possession by the Pistons YouTube - running down the clock
Yeah, looks like he missed Sheed in that play. He was open from the wing after the double team. Besides why not a post play to Tayshaun or Sheed when only down by 1? Poor play calling.
If that was the call, fire Flip! If that was execution, sign and trade!
Now that was ugly. You let a young team hang around and sooner or later they begin to believe they can beat you. The one thing sorely lacking from the Pistons is the ability to club someone when they're down. They go up by five early in the first and then play even until into the third when the wheels come off. - 50% shooting in the first drops to 41% for the rest of the game - Although Nazr only picked up three boards, the Pistons only rebound when he is in the game, 10 and 11 in the first and third, 6 and 8 in the second and fourth. The small ball lineup works o.k. most of the time on offense, but rebounding stinks with Tay at the four. - Dice/Defl/Murray shoot 9 for 14 but by and large sit in the second half. Dice gets two minutes in the second half and Delfino none. Flip plays the entire fourth once the other Flip figures out he forgot to sub in the third, but is ignored by the rest of the team. - The final margin is all from the line. Both teams get 32 FGs (Pistons +4 in threes). No drives, no glory. CB – Actually not an awful game – 5-12 / 4-9 with 8 assists and seven boards. Unfortunately Dr. Billups disappears at the end and Mr Big Shot reigns and falls. For 35 of his 40 minutes he was solid. Rip – Starts out hot – 5-6 / 5-5 in his first stint, but goes 4-15 starting late in the second and for the rest of the game. 25 points, but nothing when it counted. Tay – Stinks. 4-13 / 1-5, 6 boards in 40 minutes, more turnovers than assists. With a lot of that time at the four spot. No blocks, no steals, no impact. Sheed – Doesn't shoot well – 3-10/1-3, but gets 9 boards, two assists, two blocks, 1 steal, and no turnovers. Goes 3-5 in the first and fourth, but a goose egg in the second and third. 39 minutes is too much. Works really hard though – Zach didn't have anything easy. Nazr – The big enigma. The team seems to play better with him on the court, but he doesn't seem to be doing a lot. The Pistons haven't figured out how to play without Ben yet and even a shadow helps them get organized. Delf – I thought he had a nice game in the first half. No clue why he sat the whole second half. Dice – Shot the ball well, the most productive rebounder per minute. No clue why he only made a token appearance in the second half. Flip – Maybe his best game as a Piston. But the defense really lags with him on the floor (-9 for the game) and CB doesn't pass him the ball when they are in together. Unless he is playing the point he doesn't score – gets five shots in the second, one in the fourth. The Big Flip - Lost? Confused? Having a bad hair-day? Bad job.
We need a new starting 5. People are too comfortable with certain teammates. They need a little shake up. I think Rip should come off the bench...and its not cuz he's sucking but we need to have a different chemistry in there.
Darth Low agreed to do a recap for this game. I don't know if he can relive the experience.
It is forthcoming. But, I was way too annoyed to be productive at it after that debacle.
I feel your pain...my bruddah. slippy's recap: 1st Q: 2nd Q: 3rd Q: :yukpuke: 4th Q:
Good recap, slip. Not kidding. I'm speechless too....
Portland Dec 5 7:30pm - LOWcap Ok, kiddies let's see what my eyes did see: Points of interest:-Not only do I have to watch the Blazers on my assignment, they add insult to injury by giving me the extremely homer/crybaby-esque Blazer home broadcats. Crap.-This is the first time in a long time that I have no idea who the hell half of these Blazers are.......I still hate them.- Portland's announcers claim: "These Pistons don't seem ready for 'this' " - That's classic 1st Qtr Randolph forces McMillan to call a time out at 10:30 on the clock for tossing up a crap jumper from about 20 ft. Just plain silly. Tayshaun appeard to start the game pretty aggressive offensively. However, the rest of the team appears satisfied to simply toss up long range jumpers (although they are hitting some of theme early). As far as the defense goes, Detroit is really lax, but they are playing just enough to look honest. The Blazers aren't helping their case much by turning the ball over and just looking awful. They are making it easy for Detroit to half-ass. By the end of this quarter, I'm wondering two things: A) Can this game be any less interesting?and B) Would a beer help? 2nd Qtr Randolph starts the 2nd by going right at DD in the post and made it look pretty easy on at least one possession. The Pistons are content to continue tossing up threes and it looks like they are going to be coasting tonight with the mindset of getting an easy win at the expense of the Blazers. Detroit is currently losing the rebounding battle and PIP 12-4 (bad omen). This team is giving up 50% shooting to the rest of the leauge. My guess is that's not just coming from 3pt land. But, maybe I'm just crazy. - This game blows.Later in the quarter Delfino gets a few early minutes. However, as is Flip's want, the guy misses a shot (after hitting his first one) commits a foul and is immediately yanked. He is reinserted after a few minutes to stew about his misdeeds. Detroit is not really doing a great job on the boards either. They could be blowing this team out, but alas, they are only up by a few points. For the rest of the second quarter there's not a ton of action either, a few plays that are up and down the floor, but nothing of note and defeinitely nothing exciting. This game is torture so far, thank God for the half. Maybe I could conjure something interesting in the second half if the teams don't decide to bring anything to the table. 3rd Qtr A surprise to no one, the Pistons come out in the 2nd half and commence to getting their cakes handed to them. Luckily they pick up the effort a bit and cut into the quick lead that Portland jumped out to. However, the refs are starting to whistle this game like "we hope these little guys beat you." Nevermind the fact that the Pistons are obliging and fouling these guys on the plays that haven't been called on the other end. The Blazer broadcast team is very proud of their 3 pt lead and, as is Blazer-fan's want, they are constantly whining for techs to be called on the Pistons for anything they do. For some reason they always have an interest in using technicalities (not just Technical Fouls) to win games and are never just concerned with winning the game on the court. They always seem interested in having the goal tending ignored when it would help them, but in return they wan't every travelling violation, 3 sec. violation, and 5 sec. backdown ruled called against the opponent. About half way through the 3rd qtr, the Pistons are down 2 and getting absolutely nothing out of their offensive sets. Then, by the end of the quarter they are in a dogfight and are just being outworked/outhustled on a number of plays under the glass. 4th Qtr The Pistons are really not producing offensively at this point and are really only getting buckets off of extra hustle plays, which can wear you down if that's where nearly all of your offense is coming from. As a rule now, they are not defending the Blazers in the paint at all and are rebounding poorly. They are just being outworked. The Blazers are giving up 50% shooting on avg. this season, yet the Pistons have only managed a paltry 42% Mid-way through the 4th Portland is playing much of its second string and to be honest, they are pretty much holding the Pistons at bay. Which is just sad. -Detroit allowed another NBA newbie his "first" a double double. I'm getting really sick of new NBA'ers having their coming out parties against us.Late in the fourth, the Pistons appear interested in tossing up 3's to get it all back and simply hoping Portland misses on the other end. However, their fortunes change as they are given a few calls and are able to earn some trips to the line and get back in the game and take the lead. At this point it appeared the Blazers were pressing a bit. Finally, toward the end of the game, Detroit is again lax on D (after taking a one point lead) and allows Portland to score on essentially a layup and take the lead back with 20 sec. On the last play of the game what do we get? A slop 3 from 24 ft with 3 secs left that misses everything...game over. This was a pathetic and embarrassing loss and the Pistons deserved it.
great job!
The Portland broadcasters were a little funny. At different points, they made the following claims: The Pistons are getting the Blazers right where they want them, in a running game. The Blazers need to slow the tempo and make it a half court affair. (wtf?? Aren't we the half court masters?) Darko was offensively talented, but he didn't play at all in Detroit because he didn't have defensive ability. (more like the opposite).
If the Pistons get bombed in Dallas, I will be heavily medicated for the Orlando game (aka, bball jay and Jackattaq's revenge). I'll also be taking donations towards buying The Low some Nerf furniture.
I was too hungry to break anything. I was busy being Chef Home-boyar-Dee. Holla
Nazz out played Pyrsbilla. Both did 20 minutes Nazz got 4 pts Pyrs. got 0. He beat him in other phases too.
NAZ is a work in progress. They gotta work him in games and in training.
I'm beginning to wonder if it doesn't need to work the other way too - do the best starting four need to figure how to play with some of the other children? Given the number of minutes they've played together over the past few years, the lack of games missed due to injury, etc., I think they perhaps have gotten overly comfortable playing with each other, perhaps to the point of making it difficult, whether consciously or not, to function with other players.
Rick Mahorn outplayed Pryzbilla last night.
Rick also out-ate Joelzilla last night. :D

When the slide release is pushed down, the recoil spring should act upon the slide and push it forward.
So, did you forget to reinstall the recoil spring? Did you install it incorrectly?
Check and see.
It's also possible that the pistol's barrel was reinstalled incorrectly, and the same goes for the slide stop.
Check those, too.

Just remember a relay is a remote heavy duty switch that can be mounted close to the load (pump) and triggered from a light duty switch (and wires) that's close to the driver. Inside the relay is an electrical coil that becomes magnetically charged when a current is fed through its windings. Feeding battery 12+ volts and earth to terminals 85 and 86, in any order, will cause the coil to charge with magnetism. This pulls the relay internal contacts together forming a circuit that could carry roughly 30amps of current - these contacts are terminals 30 and 87 - again in any order.
This is how I would do a basic wire up with the limited information you've given us. Connect a light gage wire to terminal C from your push button switch to terminal 85 on the relay. Next feed a wire from terminal 86 and to earth - again a light duty wire will suffice. This will now activate the relay on command and you should hear it click on and off as you trigger your push button switch.
Now the feed for the pump itself. Here we use heavy gage wires which must be fused - refer your pump's requirements. But something in the order of 25amps would be close. So connect a fused power supply wire to terminal 30 and the fuel pump + terminal to 87. Make sure you've got a good earth wire and connections for the pump negative side.
Just remember, electric fuel pumps are dangerous in a collision - eg, engine's off, ignition's on, fuel line's ruptured and fuel's pumping onto the hot exhaust. Give me more info. Is this pump used for permanent fuel supply or is it an auxilary fuel pump? I can help you set it up to protect you and your occupants in an accident. Rob.
Electric Fuel Pump Installation
This is what I have so far. The ignition to the NO on the Press Switch then the NC to the Positive side of the battery then the C on the press switch to the relay but What point ? there is 30, 85, 86, 87. then from the relay to the battery(pos?), then from the relay to the fuel pump(pos?) than from the fuel pump to battery(neg?) is this correct?
ps. I have a fuse between the relay and the battery and between the ignition and the press switch.

I feel absolutely sick to my stomach. I have to be the most horrible dog owner on the face of the planet. i get so mad at Jas for peeing and pooping in her kennel, I spank her. She's a year and a half old, she should know better. Xerxes hasn't gone in his kennel since he was 4 months. But when i went out and she had pooped in her kennel and i got mad and she was trembling in fear. My god, I felt like a monster. I never wanted my dogs to be afraid of me. God, i feel so horrible right now.
No offense, but you should feel bad. Spanking her? Really? That is not the answer. No dog should EVER be hit..period! Would you spank a child because they soiled their pants? God I hope not!
She was trembling with fear. So sad!
Why do you think she is soiling her kennel? Is she being let out enough?
I can't sit here and hold my tongue. You absolutely should know better. I hope you didn't think you could post this and get sympathy, because I don't think you're going to get it.
Please change your ways and get that poor dog to trust you again.
I'm sorry if you think I'm being harsh but I just can't stand to hear about any animal being hit.
179 Attachment(s)
No, YOU Should know better.
She is an animal.
She had to go, she was locked up, she went.
Either she wasn't taken out before you left, or you were gone too long, but no matter what the reason was, to let yourself lose it and hit an animal is simply not OK.
I don't know why you posted this here, but you have to get control of yourself next time. You were lucky your dog didn't bite you.
Well in another thread you state "My two didn't go through a land shark phase because I didn't allow it. I know some don't agree with this but if my dogs tried to bite, they got their noses slapped."
And now you know why "some don't agree with" slapping noses or spanking them.
Hitting dogs is going to make them scared of you. What did you think would happen? :(
So you've really taught them nothing except you are not stable (in their eyes, they don't know why they are being struck), and are likely go "go off" on them.
You can rehab and change the situation but do not strike them again.
Mind Games, if followed, gives the dog the idea that you are the leader, not a bully that'll strike out at them randomly.
Mind Games (version 1.0) by M. Shirley Chong
You need to build up her trust of you by never laying a hand on her again. This is how most people who aren't dog-savvy train, by smacking them. It 'works' by stopping that one behavior while you're around, because he knows he's going to get hit. What is also does is make that dog trust you less, namely because a leader doesn't lash out and lose control like that for nothing - I.E you did it after she did something bad, so she REALLY had no idea what was wrong with you.
A lovely quote to keep in mind:
"Dog: Keep in mind I have big, strong teeth and claws, but I choose not to use them against you, even if you hurt me."
I'm not sure where I heard it, but it touched me.
Don't beat yourself up too much, even if you have been using very outdated 'training', heck, Cesar Milan does too, you're certainly not one of the worst owners. And you can fix this with her. I'm glad she showed you in a way you can understand how she feels when you do this.
Just so Jas doesn't get lost in this thread: if I have a dog who is housebroken and pees and poops in the house then my first thought is that they are not well. Dogs don't just suddenly become un-housebroken. Unless she is still a puppy? Then it's perfectly normal to have an accident every so often.
And I think that you could use Jas's reaction as a blessing for you: now is a good time to rethink your training style. Many of us started out using harsh, punishment-based methods of training because that's what we knew from our parents or that's what was in favor at the time. However, those of us who have switched to more reward-based methods have never looked back. They give you the opportunity to build a much better relationship with your dog.
When I had my first dog I was too harsh with her. I didn't beat her or anything like that, but I did slap her nose and I was WAY too harsh verbally with her. I think part of this was because her, mother, who was a doberman/shepherd mix, was owned by people who never disciplined their dogs at all and that dog snapped at people and wasn't safe. I was really scared that this puppy I adored would turn out to be an undisciplined mess.
I was the problem. It was never the dog's problem.
Here's the good news: Dogs are really smart and really forgiving and my dog Peanut and I learned and grew together. And truly she has taught me ten times more than I've ever taught her. I am a good dog owner because of her. She is fourteen years old now and still with me. Still teaching me to be a better person.
This is YOUR opportunity to learn. Hitting a dog doesn't work. When you want to hit a dog, this is a weakness and foolishness in YOU, not the dog. Walk away and take a breather. Remind yourself that you are everything to your dog, and it is terrifying when you are angry. Remind yourself that your dog would do ANYTHING for you if he could only understand what you want. Your job is to figure out how to communicate what you want and how to make it possible for this dog to please you.
I can honestly say that I have never experienced a situation where hitting a dog was the appropriate response. Your dog does NOT want to make you angry. Try to help him learn how to please you, as that is what he wants more than anything.
It is almost unbearably humbling when you first understand how your dog sees you. To your dog, you are ALWAYS right. None of us can ever live up to that, but it behooves us to do our best for such a faithful friend.
This is definantly a good time to start over with your dog if you want to.
We are all human and have gotten angry or annoyed with our dogs,whether we hit them or not. Just don't make the same mistake again,even if it means you have to walk away and come back to the dog later.That's one of the reason why I don't ever train when I am in a less than good mood. It's too easy to take your aggravations out on the dog,if you let it get that far.
I didn't come here for sympathy. I saw what I had done to her and felt horrible. I will do better. It was a huge wakeup call.
There's a lot of information on the forum about training dogs without using physical force or letting your anger get in the way.
If you don't mind my asking, what made you think spanking a dog would work to begin with? Was it something you saw being done by other people?

Or, a nurses' union protesting at the NATO meetings, to be more exact. Lots of news stories covered this story today, so I thought I'd touch on it.
Perhaps this is puzzling to people who think of nurses as doctors' handmaidens, bedpan emptiers, and bosses at psych hospitals. Or perhaps it's troubling to people who feel that nurses should be apolitical, providing compassionate care to everyone without ruffling any feathers or making anyone uncomfortable.
The union members at this particular protest seem to be advocating a "Robin Hood tax" along with a general anti-war message.
Whether or not you agree with the politics, I think it's crucial that our society think of nurses, and that nurses think of themselves, as promoters and protectors of well-being. So, yes, you may see your friendly neighborhood R.N. waving a protest sign for a political cause that affects the well-being of the community– more power to her/him.
(Just to be clear: I'm not talking about bedside nurses engaging in political actions, or god forbid, discrimination, while in the role of direct caregiver. I hope we all agree that at this level, everyone, regardless of politics, should be treated equally. I am talking about nurses as community members, advocating for causes that they feel are important to the health and well-being of the community. Ok? Ok.)

European governments urged to adopt measures to fight antisemitism
Strasbourg, 15.09.2004 – The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI), an independent expert body of the 45-country Council of Europe, is to issue new proposals on fighting antisemitism to governments across the continent on Monday 20 September.
ECRI's ninth General Policy Recommendation is the first European legal text on fighting antisemitism, and reflects the commission's deep concern at the recent rise in antisemitic behaviour, including attacks on Jewish people and institutions.
According to ECRI, new forms of antisemitism are appearing which are often closely linked to contemporary world events such as the situation in the Middle East. Furthermore, this behaviour is not confined solely to marginal or radical groups, but originates in many different sections of society - and sometimes even involves people who themselves have been victims of racism and exclusion.
The ECRI Recommendation is the result of an extensive consultation process involving Jewish organisations, human rights groups and academics. The text suggests a range of measures that governments should take in areas such as criminal legislation, awareness-raising and promoting inter-religious dialogue.
The Recommendation will be presented to the public by ECRI President Michael Head at the Maison de l'Europe in Paris1 at 2 pm on Monday 20 September. The presentation will be followed by a Round Table involving famous Hungarian writer György Konrad and Freddy Raphaël, professor of sociology at the Marc Bloch University in Strasbourg.
The presentation and the Round Table will be fully open to the press. For further information please see www.coe.int/ecri

Hello Lucy,
Thanks for being available, and providing so much insight on this new field! I've already read some of the posts which have been quite informative.
I'm just writing to get some answers more specific to my needs.
I have ministry and public speaking training, I have experience in teaching the Bible for some years now. I am fascinated with language, and am currently learning Spanish. It is my goal to move out of the country to expand my preaching work, but see a great opportunity in teaching english while abroad. I'm looking into South America - Peru, Columbia, or Ecuador. I would prefer teaching children and teenagers, but I'm pretty flexible.. Which age group do you find offers more work? or does it depend on the area? I don't have any other degrees, just figured this would be a great starting point. I've been doing online research for a while, and I think I'm deciding on the courses offered by Bride TEFL. I think Cambridge CELTA sounds most beneficial. What do you think of Part time or online courses? I have found that the most well known, externally accredited credited training courses are CELTA and TRINITY. It seems that these courses are only available abroad, is there anyway to obtain these certifications in the USA?
I look forward to your responses. Thank you.

Dear MathGroup,
I am a Mathematica user and am having problems with one particular task that
I have to perform.
I have 2 function, {f'(t),g'(t)}, that are unintegrable. I wish to plot the
parametric curve {f(t),g(t)} for a<t<b, say, but do not wish to use
NIntegrate as it will give me the result {f(T)-f(a),g(T)-g(a)}.
Is there a way that I can find {f(a),g(a)} so that I can use NIntegrate; or
is it possible to evaluate the integral at one point?
Thanks for your heklp aDear Sir,
nd I look forward to hearing from you soon.

I have tried several times to add to my journal and it will not allow me to add. I am not sure why, its like it sees me as a viewer instead of an author. There is no icon to add an entry. I don't understand the WIKI thing yet but I guess I can look at it. I know I have brought hundreds of new people to this site by advertising my journal I hope I can finish it.
this looks like a tip for the WIKKI or whatever it is----help tips??
I have found in more than one attempt in the journal, it is easier to write it all out in notepad ( a wordprocessing program) and then copy and paste.
Seems I have been kicked off if I take too much time typing in the journal.

Competion Engineering Steering Column Install
I bought a steering column kit from Competition Engineering. The kit included a column tube, chrome molly steering shafts, weld in mounting bars, a universal joint, a quick steering wheel release assembly and two clamps The first thing I did was bolt the seat in for steering wheel location. Then I assembled the column tube and the steering shaft assembly. I welded the nut on the end of one of the shafts for the quick release steering wheel assembly and let it cool. I installed the two plastic bushings in the end of the column tube, riveted them in place and installed the grease zerks. Once the steering shaft cooled I slid it through the column. I hung the column shaft combo with string from the firewall bracing and the roll cage bracing and aligned it with the center of the seat. At this point I cut my short shaft from the rack so the end of the shaft coming through the firewall and the short shaft coming from the rack would meet. After cutting the short shaft to the right length I readjusted and cut the column shaft so the ends were at the same level. With the ends of the two shafts the right length and level I could now slip the universal in place with out binding. Now remember the column is still hanging by two string loops and will need some finesse when welding it in place to keep joint alignment. I welded the firewall vertical brace in first. It is very important that all the braces fit exact and do not move the column when the weld cools. If the fit is too tight it will push the column out of alignment when it is welded and if it is to short it will pull the column when the weld cools.
After I welded in the first upright brace at the firewall I welded in a side (horizontal) brace at the dash. This still gives me the opportunity to tweak the column alignment. I remove the bushing in the top of the column and run the steering shaft through the column, the bottom column bushing and into the universal joint. I tweak the welded braces with a hammer until the steering shaft centers itself in the top of the column tube. I welded the other column braces at the firewall and the dash and double check the steering shaft. Because I fit the braces snug my column did not move and I was good. I pinned the short shaft side of the universal joint and welded the column side so if I needed to I could take it apart in two pieces. I should have pinned it on the column side of the universal or both sides. This would have allowed me to take apart the column assembly as well as split the whole assembly �Hindsight� don�t be to quick with the welder. For a better understanding of the complete project check out my journal. I posted this here because I can't seem to get my journal to let me post anything more.

ditributor confusion
Thanks guys. This one am going to go with the good advice. Am already figuring how to get rid of the 3.1, and have started prepping the frame for the 350. I know the SBC, so it will be more fun working with something I know something about. the V6 was new to me. It would quickly learn some new words. I don't particularly care for them electronic controlled engines either. Hear all kinds of horror stories, like: "Can I run my new hemi in my scout without changing the computer pickup tubes in the gremlich confabulation sensor?". hearing stuff like that waves me off, but figured engine is engine, just got to get the right parts and pieces to make it run w/o computer. I just don't think I want to invest the time and $ to find and get the stuff and put it together when got perfrectly good 350 sbc. Thanks for the info and the advice. When I don't have anything else to do, (like that will ever happen), might build a frame and make go-cart outa the V-6, unless one of y'all wants it. Later, and Thank you again.
In any event, Edelbrock made a 4-barrel intake for the 2.8l V6 but I have no idea if it could be made to work on the 3.1L.
As long as the distributor has a magnetic pickup, you could use an MSD ignition.
Stick with the 350 and enjoy your rod.
You'll end up extremely disappointed with a small motor in a big ol car.
Distributor confusion
I recently came by a 3.1L (1991) firebird engine and thought "Hey this would drop right into my '39 coupe with room to spare, and solve a lot of space related issues v/s sbc. Then I got looking at it close, and see two (2) problems right off. First one is simple, but probably too steep for my budget. That be the intake and fitting it out for a carburetor. The other issue is the distributor. I am used to and familiar with a distributor that is its own timing and firing. I'm told this one has a sensor that tells a cumputer which cylinder to fire on. But that don't make any sense cause the distr has a rotor that directs the fire. I called Summit to see if they could push me in the right direction here, but their tech line was backed up till New Years. Anybody got some words of wisdom they can drop on me? Some Ideas on the carburation would be helpful also, as i am seriously considering scrapping this V6 idea and shoe horning my 350 in there. Thank you for any help/non-help/ideas, and ridicule would indicate at least someone is paying attention, and that doesn't happen a lot here in my little world.

Could the U.S. elections be hacked, allowing attackers to adjust ballot counts and alter election results?
That threat, to be sure, sounds like little more than a Hollywood movie plot. Furthermore, based on recent reviews of states' voting system readiness, the more likely scenario is that voting systems in key swing states would simply crash. Cue delayed elections and potentially, disenfranchised voters with uncounted votes.
On the other hand, given the widespread and well-documented flaws in electronic voting systems, as well as the potential for such systems to crash or behave erratically, election officials must keep a close eye not just on the voting systems' physical and information security, but also the vote results themselves, to ensure that every vote counts. Here are 10 related facts.
1. Good News: Technology Now Records More Votes Properly
According to a report released earlier this month by the Caltech/MIT Voting Technology Project, which was launched in the wake of the 2000 presidential election, changes in voting technology have reduced the difference between votes cast and votes counted. That difference stems both from technology-related failures, including vote-counting systems being unable to properly read what a user has filled out on an optically scanned paper ballot, as well as from user errors, such as a voter picking two candidates for a single office.
[ Learn more about the tech behind Election 2012: How Voters Play Smartphone Politics. ]
Overall, the difference between votes cast and counted dropped from 2% in 2000, to 1% in 2006. Technologically speaking, what's facilitated that change? Start with awareness--as well as public shaming--after the 2000 presidential elections saw Florida officials become a punchline owing to the failure of the state's circa-1960s punch-card election technology. In particular, vote-tabulating machines weren't able to count ballots with incompletely punched holes, also known as hanging, dimpled, or pregnant chads. While the problem was widespread, the presidential election results hinged on the state's voters, and officials struggled to produce an accurate count of how votes had actually been cast.
2. Key Equipment Meltdowns Could Scuttle Election Results
What do Ohio, Virginia, Colorado, Nevada, and Pennsylvania all have in common? They occupy the top-five list of the "riskiest states for an e-voting meltdown." The list, detailed on the Freedom to Tinker blog, is based in part on the Counting Votes 2012 study of states' election preparedness, the VerifiedVoting.org Verifier database of the election technology that's currently being used by different states, and the relative likelihood that it will fail.
While the four researchers who authored the e-voting meltdown study said that "a meltdown scenario is very unlikely"--as is a "knife-edge selection" of the type that occurred in Florida in 2000--they still decided to review the likelihood that such problems could "cause a state to cast the deciding electoral college vote that would flip the election winner from one candidate to the other." Ohio, beware.
3. Recession Slows New Voting Technology Adoption
In the wake of the 2000 Florida vote-counting debacle, numerous states quickly dumped their antiquated punch-card-type systems. Unfortunately, the rush to find a new solution led many to adopt electronic voting systems--some with touchscreens--without first thoroughly vetting the technology. In short order, security experts began reporting that such technology employed proprietary systems predicated on "security through obscurity," and typically sported numerous physical as well as information security vulnerabilities.
4. Diebold Machines Remain In Use
In particular, Diebold soon became the face of electronic voting machines' failures, in large measure because the company's machines--as well as those of its competitors--were black boxes. Chief amongst electronic voting machines' list of faults, however, was that they failed to generate a paper-based audit trail. As a result, not only could the machines be hacked, but such hacking might never be detected.
