Information, an essential asset in virtually all organizations, requires careful attention and robust processes to ensure it can reliably support business decision-making.
Information arising from multiple sources must be integrated and governed to ensure it is a trusted source - and in compliance with internal policies and external regulations and legislature.
The process of the integration and governance of information provides a framework that incorporates acquisition, organization, control and use of information to create and enhance business value.

This sounds like a good one to stay away from.
AFAIK, none of the small SB lathes have a gearbox per se. They have the multiple speeds created by the position of the drive belts on various size pulleys, and they have a direct mode and a backgear mode.
In direct, there are no gears in operation. In backgear (used for a lower set of spindle speeds) there's a pair of open gears in operation within the spindle drivetrain. No oil there to get cold as I recall.
Damaged backgears are a common South Bend problem. The seller may well know the backgears are bad and could be simply trying to hide that by claiming it wont go in gear. Been a long time since I ran a SB, but as I recall you open an access cover on the headstock, slide a pin to its outermost position, and then move a lever to engage the backgears. Not much reason for something so simple to be inoperable.
$1000 should buy you something to work with, and not something to work on.
Lathe stuff
Chances are your shift problem is a little more serious than "cold oil"..This is a non-syncro g-box, only shifts when not rotating..BUT: these are easy to work on, if a special tool is required it can usually be MM together..First thing to do is take stock of the tooling he has for the lathe, it's very easy to spend more on the tooling than you did on the machine...Tooling is also specialized, unless he was doing exactly what you have planned, chances are you won't be able to fully use his tooling, so look for generic stuff {toolpost and holders, centers and d-chucks, maybe a collet closer}..meanwhile, go looking for parts on the net, their no longer in biz but there's lotza parts out there.
Goodluk, Fustkarr
SB lathe cant change hi/low gear???
Hi guys, I was looking into getting a south bend 3 1/2 metal lathe for $1000
the seller told me he keeps it in a none heated garage. and when I asked if all is working fine. he said he can't get it out of the one gear to try to get into the other .
says the oil maybe is cold and thats why.. is this something I should walk away from? or is it a easy fix? any help would be great asap

Negro Hotels in Kentucky
Start Year : 1942
In preparation for the publication of the first Negro Handbook, compiled and edited by Florence Murray, there was a survey of Negro-owned and -operated hotels in the United States. Approximately 400 hotels were identified, including 10 in Kentucky, including the Preston Hotel in Glasgow Junction [a junction between the L&N Railroad mainline and a branch to Glasgow and a branch to Mammoth Cave]; in 1938, the name Glasgow Junction was changed to Park City. Louisville had several hotels, as well: the Allen Hotel at 2516 W. Madison Street; Knights of Pythias Temple Hotel at 10th and Chestnut Streets; and Walnut Hotel at 615 Walnut Street. The Brantsford Hotel [see Bransfords] was located at Mammoth Cave. In Mt. Sterling, the Dew Drop Inn stood on E. Locust Street. There were four hotels in Paducah: the Burlington Hotel at 48 Kentucky Avenue; the Jefferson Hotel at 514 S. 8th Street; the Washington Hotel at 805 Washington Street; and the city's oldest African American hotel, the Metropolitan, owned by Maggie Steed. For more see "Facts Concerning Hotels" in The Negro Handbook (1942), by F. Murray.

Shake Rag (Bowling Green, KY)
The Shake Rag District of Bowling Green, KY, was an African American community with families, schools, businesses, and churches. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The community was settled by former slaves, families and soldiers who had fought for the Union Army during the Civil War. A large portion of Bowling Green's domestic employees lived in Shake Rag. The Southern Queen Hotel and Covington-Moses home, located in Shake Rag at 140 State Street, is still the only African-owned hotel in Bowling Green. It was built in 1906 by James Covington, and family members still live in the home. Prior to school integration, State Street High School was where African American students in Bowling Green attended school. In 2008, the 5th Annual Shake Rag Heritage Festival was held by the New Era Planning Association, an organization that is working to revitalize the Shake Rag District. For more see ShakeRag: a pictorial history from 1946 to 1967, by D. Thompson and K. R. Singleton; and the following articles from the Daily News (Bowling Green): J.

Team Rough House - UKs no1 fight team
I watched it three times and scored it as follows:
48-47 Thomson
49-46 Thomson
48-47 Thomson
Although little things that I noticed upon re-watching it changed my scoring it was Thomson who won that fight.
It wasn't a close fight! Re-watch it and you'll see Thomson easily wins 3 rounds.
Henderson has now lost 4 fights but somehow managed to win?
Edgar, Edgar, Melendez and Thomson all beat him!.. The judging is a joke and it's making me hate Benson because he honestly believes he won the fights.
Team Rough House - UKs no1 fight team
I had it 48-47 for thomson too. Thought he won rounds 1, 2 and 4. But looking at the 2 fighters after it looked like henderson knew hed won and thomson looked resigned to the fact he had got beat. When its as close a fight as it was though I cant blame the judges for giving it to henderson but thought 49-46 henderson was a bit mad.
the 49-46 card for Henderson was attrocious.
Sherdog.com - The number one MMA site on the web today!
Personally i scored it 48-47 for Thomson as a definite but could have scored it 49-46 for Thomson.
IMO the only round Henderson clearly won was round 3 after Thomson broke his hand.
I scored 1, 2 & 4 for Thomson but 5 could have went either way imo.
Agree that 49-46 for Henderson was terrible judging though!
Also, i'm surprised Henderson got off as many kicks considring Joe Rogan was sucking him off the entire fight!
Did anyone else notice Henderson grabbing the cage during Thomson's takedown attempts but it being called "great balance"?

I've had this parts kit in storage for almost 20 years. I'm thinking of getting rid of it, but I'm not sure the price. Its missing one or two pieces but all main parts are there.
This is a cobray F/A kit (i believe if my old memory serves me) and as you can see it has the number 4 on the bolt which I've been told is a little rare but not sure how true that is.
Take a look and let me know what you guys think its worth.

my pup was 9 weeks old when he came home. i took him out
every 15 minutes. i spoke to him in a normal speaking voice.
i used his name a lot. overnight he was out every 2 hours.
i crated him on and off during the day. everytime i crated him
i would say "go to your crate". i knew at some point he would
learn what "go to your crate" meant. when my pup wasn't crated
we watched him like a Hawk. we didn't let him wonder out of our sight.
after his 2nd round of shots he was in a puppy class. the class wasn't
all play. everybody handled each other pup. the class was held at my
Vet's office. the vet's would give the dogs mock exams. the Vet asked us
to bring the pup in a few times a week for the mock exams, petting
and treats. there was 2 cats in the puppy class and that was great
for the pups. the pups were exposed to a lot in the class. they did steps,
walked on leaves, blow dried, crated, walked on wet floors, handled
by everyone in the class, mock exams, put on the exam table and
table would go up an down, weighed, walked all throught the Vet
office. that's all i can think of for now.
his first days home was mainly potty training, usuing his name and
keeping him out of things and away from things. we were out and
about after his 2nd round of shots. i took him to the woods a lot. i took him
to stables for the horse exposure, fed the ducks and geese in the creek
(the ducks and geese would get close to him when being fed),
had lots of people visit some with dogs, had lots of play groups,
had my neighbors treat him in the yard and reach through the fence
to touch him, mailman petted him a lot (now he goes and gets the
mail form the mailman), go to the mall for people exposure and petting,
stand near the Supermarket doors, ask juggers to run near him and touch
him, had kids skate board near him, walked on crowed streets, walked
where there was heavy traffic. exposure, exposure, exposure.
formal traing started at 4 months old. untill then he knew his name,
was house broken (11 days), leashed trained (he was use to it and
his collar which was never on when home), crate trained.

Lots of bonding, out every 45 minutes for potty breaks, crate training, letting puppy explore the home... first night can be rough.
So glad I don't have to get up at night anymore, and we extended how long Zenna waits between potty breaks and no more accidents in the home. Things "get better' pretty quickly!
|I do it a little differently but my pup was 12 weeks when I got him. I take him out every-time he wakes up and about 1/2 hour after he eats. He doesn't need to go out every half hour. At night he goes in the crate around 10-11. He starts crying somewhere between 1 and 2 I get up take him out to go potty and then its right back into the crate.... No playing. He sleeps till the alarm goes off around 5:30. Last night 13 weeks and 1 day he slept all the way through to 4:30. I have high hopes that soon it I will get a full night sleep again.

Bond, play, poop, sleep. I would not do any training aside from crate and potty training. It will likely take him a few days to even get near comfortable. Love the pup.
You'll be making a lot of potty trips outside. Never let him out of your sight and be prepared to move fast.

I'm no expert but it's working for us. She is whining less and has only had one accident in her crate.

My pup is 8 weeks and 3 days. We spend the day replacing children and shoes with puppy appropriate toys and potty breaks every 30-45 mins. I think I made night time worse in several ways by not being consistent and giving in to sleeping on the floor with her bc of the non stop screaming we rearranged our bedroom to fit the crate right next to the bed. We are still at the constant crying stage but it's becoming less and less every night. She is even willingly going in there to nap during the day.
I'm a new puppy owner and have spent many hours reading through this forum. So many things I didn't know before we got her.

Realize now that night time will be the hardest time. You'll need to get up every couple of hours to take puppy out to potty. Puppy is going to scream for hours. Puppy will finally be quiet, and it's time to take it out again. Stay strong those first few days and it will pay off HEEPS with keeping your sanity when the shark phase kicks in.
Some folks get lucky and it takes a day or two. Some folks get cursed and it takes weeks. Hope or the best, but expect the worse.

Being a pessimist, as well as a contrarian, I suspect just the opposite is true. GPS and chartplotter assisted grounding, due to over-confidence or over-reliance, is a very real issue. Training in the proper use of electronic navigation equipment is essential and under-appreciated. The term "radar assisted collision" is not just a punch line to a bad joke; it happens. The small boat navigator with nothing but the Mk I, Mod 0, precision eyeball is unlikely to leave, or enter, port when the fog is dense preferring to wait for safer conditions. The GPS reliant navigator is probably more likely to say, "so what if we can't see anything, we can tell where we are right here on the black box".
|I suspect GPS and chartplotters have overall reduced pilot error despite introducing the problem you are rightly pointing out. I imagine that there are a large number of people who now have access to a greater range of sailing experience due to GPS, they simply would have grounded before leaving the harbor otherwise.
Actually Cam it does not tell you what your margin of error might be. GDOP, geometric dilution of precision relates solely to the angular differences of the various LOPs. That is what your unit is showing you. It is not showing you such things as the effect of transient noise on each individual LOP. Anotherwords, the computer is doing the thinking and evaluating for you. Similar factors are what make your shallow water alarm go off consistently in 500 fathoms of water and yet not utter a peep as you gring your way ashore.(g) Similar technology is what makes your automatic acquisition radar track minute squalls but manages to overlook a sailboat 5 miles away. Again, I am not trying to be critical of GPS, but rather the manufacturing process that leads to, "they don't need that" mind-sets.
Perhaps an illustration would make the point better. "Transit" was generally employed with a gyrocompass input and a manually entered speed input, what with very few ships having pitot logs. Theoretically, if the speed entered was off a significant amount the receiver should not be able to acheive a "fix". Nevertheless, the receiver would merrily pump out positions, some ten miles off, as if all was well in a carefree world. Advances have certainly been made, and the receiver's estimate of GDOP would reveal the potential for large errors, if monitored. But the unit still does not give the operator the type of information he needs to either accept or reject individual LOPs. "You are here" logic is the quite predictable result.
In most pilotage situations, I don't bother with the GPS. I use a pelorus and "60 D Street". I use it to compare my DR to my lat/lon a couple of times a day, but I find that when I can see the coast, it's most useful for ETAs, compass headings and cross-track estimates.
I don't assume it correct, but do assume it's "correct enough". Offshore, I have the sextant, after all, and truly gross errors are going to become apparent pretty quickly, particularly if you've been charting your course on paper. Besides, hourly fixes gets me off the deck to reapply sunscreen and to rehydrate!
I also agree that radar makes a nice rangefinder and that a few classes in how to use it can make a big difference in how it's used (self-evident, one might think, but I've seen it used incorrectly on more than one occasion). You can, after all, avoid another boat easier than you can avoid a penisula with a strong current wrapping around it.
Aww...c'mon guys...all this "in theory" is nice...but my little GPS tells me exactly where I am and tells me what my margin of error might be.
Would I navigate without it...NO...Would I like additional input from radar...sure. In my recent trip up the Bay...I used both and NEEDED both but my eyeballs would have been absolutely useless. In ALL the last 10 years or so of using a GPS I have never once had cause to doubt the accuracy of my GPS within a few hundred feet. Most often I am within 10-30 feet of my waypoints.
As far as Loran goes...I used that too a long time ago and it was a good tool in its' day (and still excellent for REPLICATION of previous waypoints...i.e. fishermen!) but then the abacus was a good tool in its' day as well. (G)

Not surprisingly, my friend Camaraderie, has missed the main point of my post.
That point being, you have no way of knowing whether your position is accurate to within the few hundred feet you mention, or the six hundred feet I mentioned, or worse. For the GPS "fixed" this is not an attack upon GPS, it's actually an attack upon the receivers, and the dumbing down of those receivers for convenience sake. I own a GPS and find it to be a fine navigational tool. IMHO, relying on GPS alone, in a coastal navigation situation, ie..."piloting" is foolish. Darkness alone should be no barrier to navigating coastal, with the plethora of lights along the US coast. Fog, and perhaps haze, would behoove one to haul further offshore, but then you'd not be piloting anymore, and would be using GPS at it's strongest suit-offshore navigation. If I have somehow misconstrued cam's post I am sure illumination, if not conflagration, will soon follow.(g)

|Of course, those errors being transient, can be easily corrected for or avoided. If you're using GPS to navigate while near shore, you're making a grave mistake. Coastal pilotage skills should take priority over an icon on a screen if you are within Mark I eyeball range of land.
These errors probably don't make difference for typical boat navigation. Although, it is interesting to think about them as far as precision landing approach aids for aircraft.
The good thing is that the FAA is quite the stickler about making sure the probability of these types of errors affect the safe operation of a aircraft is very low.
I have heard that a two frequency version will be made available for commercial purposes just because the FAA is so concerned. (Currently, two frequency GPS is restricted to military use.)

A twenty-two year old Bangladeshi woman was punished for telling people that a neighbor was the father of her six year year-old son. The woman told some friends about the man who had fathered her son and when he heard about her comments, the man informed local religious leaders that she was lying. They called her and the alleged father before a hastily formed Islamic court and asked for testimony. The man held the Koran in his hand and swore to the village clerics that he was not the father of the boy. Naturally, they believed his comments. The clerics then issued a fatwa calling for the woman to be caned thirty-nine times.
The woman is now fighting for her life as a result of injuries suffered during the caning. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is furious and has ordered the arrest of the clerics and asked police to do a DNA testing of the man. Of course, that was the simple solution to the problem, but for the clerics if a man swore on the Koran he must be right. Of course, if a woman swears on the Koran, she must be wrong.

Patagonia engages in a range of due diligence activities to promote fair labor practices and ensure good working conditions in our factories.
Below are a few of the key tools we use:
Workplace Code of Conduct
- The cornerstone of our Social and Environmental Responsibility program is our Workplace Code of Conduct and matching Benchmark document. Our Code is based on International Labor Organization (ILO) core labor standards and requires compliance with the country laws where our factories operate.
- We developed the document so that our expectations are clear to our suppliers. At Patagonia we continuously push ourselves to lead an examined life and improve social and environmental conditions. We encourage our suppliers to do the same.
- Our Code of Conduct outlines our policies on the following: forced labor, child labor; harassment, abuse and violence; nondiscrimination; health and safety; freedom of association and collective bargaining; wages and benefits; hours of work; overtime compensation; women's, disabled persons', ethnic minorities' and U.S. veterans' rights; the environment; quality; subcontracting; and compliance with the law.
Fair Labor Association (FLA)
- As part of its membership obligations, FLA randomly, and unannounced, audits a sampling of our supply chain to assess the quality of our due diligence and help us identify areas of concern. The audit results are posted for public access on the FLA website.
- The FLA randomly audits at our headquarters Patagonia's Social/Environmental Responsibility (SER) department and program. We must follow and are audited to the FLA's Principles of Fair Labor and Responsible Sourcing. They review our factory files, audit reports, corrective action plans, factory and internal training, and other activities with NGOs (our last audit was performed in June 2010). We are up for re-accreditation every three years.
New Factories
- The director of SER fully participates with our Sourcing and Quality departments in the decision to place products with a new factory. The director of SER has full veto power over choice of a new factory.
- SER staff screens all new factories for social and environmental compliance with local law and union contracts (if applicable), the Patagonia Code of Conduct and the more detailed Code of Conduct Benchmarks document. Where standards vary, we adopt the one most beneficial to the employees. We also assess the factory's SER management systems, and train management in our Code of Conduct and other program requirements.
- The pre-screening is accomplished by either the SER staff or a reputable third-party monitoring firm. This step entails a full social audit, including a payroll analysis and interviews with line workers in the local language. We will not do business with factories where we find child or forced labor, abuse, harassment and discrimination or other practices for which we have zero tolerance. An audit often reveals less serious variances with our Code of Conduct. A factory must agree to remediate all findings before we place our first order.
All Factories
- SER staff visits factories regularly to assess compliance, follow up on corrective actions from the previous audit or perform consulting, training, and/or concentrated remediation visits for specific SER concerns.
- We track the minimum or prevailing wages of each country in which we make products and work toward a higher, fair or living wage in our costing negotiations with the factory. As a result of our social audit engagements, frequent visits to the factory by internal staff and FLA monitoring, many of our factories already pay above minimum wage to some or all of their workers. We are committed to achieving a fair wage for all people who make Patagonia products.
- In 2010 we audited 90 percent of our supply chain for social and environmental concerns. This included subcontractors of our primary cut-and-sew facilities. We either perform a social audit ourselves, hire a third party monitoring firm, or (to reduce audit fatigue in factories) collaborate with another brand or obtain recent audit reports from a credible source on the Fair Factories Clearinghouse database (see below) or the factory itself. Patagonia pays for all social audits that we schedule directly.
- All audit findings must be remediated in a timely manner. When an audit reveals problems that require in-depth analysis we hire a local consultant to discern the root cause of the problem and then decide whether to pursue a higher level of engagement with the factory in a long-term continuous improvement program to create and monitor a solution.
- When we require a factory to participate in specific training, education or continuous improvement programs, Patagonia pays for all or part of the consultation, which can last from one month to one year depending on the complexity of the issue.
- SER staff scores factories on performance to help Patagonia and our suppliers see where they are on the corporate responsibility journey - from implementing basic practices to demonstrating leadership. The internal scoring system is based on existing Fair Labor Association and Sustainable Apparel Coalition tools. It educates suppliers and sets brand expectations for continuous, long-term improvement of social performance.
- Our California Transparency in Supply Chains Act (SB657) Disclosure has information on how we monitor our factories for all forms of forced labor, including human trafficking and slavery.
Multi-Stakeholder Initiatives (MSIs)
- We are a founding and fully accredited member of the Fair Labor Association.
- We are a participant in the International Labour Organization's Better Work Program in Vietnam and Jordan. We also participate in other MSI's where possible (past projects include FLA 3.0 and JO-IN).
- We are a member of the Fair Factories Clearinghouse (FFC), from which we obtain third-party audits of our factories and to which we provide our own audit results for other brands to use. We also collaborate regularly with several brands on factory audits and other special engagements.
- The Footprint Chronicles traces social and environmental impacts of our products and processes.
- We publish our complete factory list on our website.
- We publish our Code of Conduct and Code of Conduct Benchmarks on our website.

Energy Saving GLS Bulbs
Lyco's range of energy-saving GLS bulbs offers plenty of choice, with bayonet or screw-cap fittings to suit, a broad choice of wattages, and even the occasional dimmable bulb. As well as boasting lower power consumption over traditional GLS bulbs, these energy saver bulbs offer improved longevity.
Remember to allow for a warm-up time before dimming suitable CFL lamps.
Time to be efficient
Over 130 years after Sir Joseph Swan flicked on the electric lights to his Victorian house the EU finally phased out the regular incandescent light bulb. The GLS bulb - the 'General Lighting Service' lamp used in most households and many businesses - has now largely been replaced by energy-saving GLS equivalents or the more shapely 'spirals'.
Ideal replacement
If you're looking for a direct replacement for a regular, filament-burning GLS bulb, these energy-saving versions are the same size, and shape, but offer numerous advantages over the old technology:
- 10 to 15 times the lifespan of an incandescent equivalent
- Use up to 80% less power
- Create lower CO2 emissions
- Cheaper than LED alternatives
No pop - low maintenance
Lasting up to 15,000 hours, our energy-saving GLS bulbs are low-maintenance affairs. Gone is the familiar 'pop' of an incandescent filament, and the inconvenience of being plunged into darkness every year or so.
With fluorescent lighting having improved in quality over recent years, we expect you to be pleasantly surprised by the performance of our modern Energy Saving GLS Bulbs!

Colin Benson selects one of the players from this season's Arsenal A-Z feature to talk about their time with the Club.
JOHN HOLLINS was 33 when he was signed from QPR in the summer of 1979 and although he brought with him the experience of 436 League games for Chelsea and another 151 with Queens Park Rangers, the inevitable question of age was raised in some quarters. But John, an England international, was no ordinary 33 year-old as he went on to prove in his 172 appearances for the Gunners, 13 of them in European competition.
John you were the Peter Pan of football but what was the very first lesson you learned as a professional footballer?
Never give up. In other words the game is never dead until the final whistle and if you can get one goal that quite often leads to two. Tommy Docherty the manager at Chelsea who gave me my break instilled this philosophy into everyone. I made my debut against Swindon in the League Cup in 1963. Tommy was very keen on giving players equal opportunities regardless of age. I captained Chelsea for one game at the age of 17 when we beat Birmingham City 7-0 at St Andrews.
Games against Arsenal were always very special and there was inevitably a lot of tension before the match. They were always 'The Arsenal' the team that everyone else wanted to beat and we did very well against them at Highbury but not so well against them at Stamford Bridge.
There was always an inspiring atmosphere in these games, particularly at Highbury which filled you with excitement and a sense of tradition. It had that something walking through the Marble Halls and down the narrow passage onto the pitch - it was perfect. A magic place; the roar of the North Bank and the steady ticking of the clock which seemed to speed up if you were losing, the big hand seemingly spinning faster and when it got to twenty to five you knew you were beaten.
What was the first inclination you had that Arsenal were interested in signing you?
I was actually on my way back from Norwich having met Ken Brown and Chairman Arthur South and had agreed to sign for them. I stopped at a telephone box to ring home and ask the wife to get QPR to send all my medical records off to Norwich as I was going to sign for them.
She said 'Oh - by the way Arsenal want to sign you.' I said look don't mess about. She said: 'No Terry Neill wants to meet you at the Thatched Barn tomorrow for breakfast.' So I went over there and Terry said he had to sign me right away because of the deadline for registering players for the European Cup Winners' Cup. So I signed a blank contract and the deal was done.
I had to apologise to Ken Brown who was very good about it and said: 'If I had the chance to go to Arsenal I'd go.' So that was it.
You played your first game for Arsenal at Brighton when you came off the bench to replace Liam Brady.
Yeah, well I said I'd always do that! (joked John). But flipping heck I wasn't there to replace Liam. He got injured; I had been brought in as cover and played right-back, midfield, centre-back and even left-back. But it is like I said never give up. Who would have thought I could make my debut for Arsenal at 33?
John, I believe you made a significant contribution in your first European game for the Gunners setting up a goal in our 2-0 victory over Fenerbahce at Highbury?
Yes, I pinged the ball across to Willie Young who put it away. He was greatly underrated, a solid defender and not many people went past him. He was also useful in attack at set pieces and was an ideal foil for David O'Leary.
Having overcome the Turkish side 2-0 on aggregate we were drawn against FC Magdeburg.
That's right and Willie scored again in a 2-1 win at Highbury. But I remember the second-leg more in what was then East Germany, as it was absolutely freezing cold - really raw. It was a bitterly tough game and I received an injury that kept me out for three-weeks.
A guy did me and opened up my knee on the left side. But it was so cold there was no blood and I said to Fred Street just put a plaster on it. Fred, as cool as ever, said: 'I don't think so John, don't look.' Of course I did and there was a big hole which needed nine stitches to close. It wasn't the best pitch, icy conditions, but at Arsenal we are made of tough stuff and we went through that no problem.
In 1981 you scored your one and only goal for Arsenal in Europe in a UEFA Cup tie against Winterslag.
I don't remember that one except that we were knocked out in a penalty shoot out after a 2-2 aggregate score.
In those days John all European cup ties were played on a straight knock-out principal over two legs. How do you compare this with the present format of mini-leagues?
I really think that cup competitions should be straight knock out. I know they have changed the title from European Cup to Champions League but I prefer the old system of the best team winning over two legs. I think there is more excitement when it is sudden death.
If you are in a league situation you get circumstances such as there were in the Barcelona Chelsea tie the other week. The edge had been taken off that game because Chelsea didn't have to get a result; they could afford to lose the game and still qualify…You get games that mean nothing.
You can't do that in a knock-out tie and I like that feeling
of everything is on this game. You're either in or out of it.
That gives you a much better feeling.
Reflecting on your four years at Arsenal John, what is the first thing that comes to mind?
I just think that to be put into a team of outstanding youngsters as an old man and actually performing alongside those guys, who went on to become bigger and better players, was an achievement. I surprised those who questioned why Arsenal had signed me at that age.
The inspiration I got from being there gave me that extra drive and energy together with that never give up attitude that I wanted to play as long as I could. And just to put on the old red shirt was fantastic.
Fred Street helped. He was a little ahead of the game really taking us for stretching exercises before and after training and we did it to music. And it wasn't to Pink Floyd or something like that it was more like waltzes. I remember thinking; he's flipping mad, but it worked and more than extended my career...Thanks Fred.

Comments about Epiphone Limited Edition ES-335 PRO Electric Guitar:
Recently acquired this guitar to my collection and at the beginning I was not that thrilled with the sound. I changed the strings and made some minor adjustments and what a tone I got with this baby. I recently sold 3 epis because I didn't dig their probuckers, this classic alnico's really make a difference and changed my vision towards Epi's. They are moderate sound which works for me. Guitar is gorgeous and flawless. I purshased in classic tuxedo black. Tunners work fine and the hardware is top quality. I definetly look forward on acquiring more Epi's in the future and buying them from Music 123. Thank you M123 for bringing these limited editions. They are always dificult to get through local stores.

No complaints regarding fit or finish, mine is of the hightest quality. Great neck, great finish, no buzzing. The pups are not quite hot enough though, less than Les Paul Pups. If I plug in after the Les, I have to bump the volume. Still I love this guitar.

this is a fresh .040 engine. the builder i know and have known for roughly 20+ years and have installed his engines before and have had no issues. the gauge is the same as from when the 307 was in the car and its a mechanical gauge.
the pump was used., but was told it was ok. mind you, i mentioned above the cold and hot pressures all at idle in gear and what the pressure rise was at cruise...
the one thing that i did notice was about the front galley plugs, which in all honesty, i thought were all there and the guy who assembled it told me he cleaned out all the oil galleys and always replaces with new on assembly, and usually rechecks all his work with a fine tooth comb so to speak. as far as clearance, i didnt check that because like a said this was a pre-assembled short block that was built .040 and given to me when ownership changed hands from the machine shop that it used to be to a transmission shop that i was shop foreman for. a stock oem pump is only 20 bucks, its gonna have to wait till the money starts coming back in, and for that matter the car can sit till then or till i get my taxes done because, at that time im also going to be putting in new diff gears and a lock-right locker setup to use it for drag racing. the motor with a stock cam still screams and with the 700r4 i built for it is an amazing difference from the old stock 307/th350 combo it used to have and at that time with the car having 3.08 gears still ran consistent 10.00's and has run a best of 9.88 in the 8th mile. and the only things on the 307 was a factory aluminum intake, same hei thats in the 350 now, and a jegster header-back exhaust kit i bought when i saw how chocked up the 307 was with the factory exhaust.
im not looking to go any quicker than low 8's in the 8th, cause if i break into the 7's, i gotta put a cage in and i dont want to do that and i still want to keep the car streetable to a degree.
1 of the reasons i built the 700r4 for it. and yes its pretty damn stout and will hold, and i got rid of lockup so theres 1 less thing to fail ( ive had a 700r4 built the same in my 76 with a inline 6 that my dad and i put together in 1996). it works flawlessly and has over 150,000 miles on it since then and, with no lockup, i have absolutely no sediment in the pan on services like i normally see on 700's with lockup.
anyway, i hope you can see that im quite particular about how i do things, and try to take the most care in what i do to ensure that what i have lasts.
again, i still appreciate all the comments and suggestions, thats why i still come around here. its been a great site to help and be helped with on my own problems. cheers!
when i do pull the motor back out i will be checking clearances and everything else just to be sure, you can count on that.
|What was the oil pressure before you added the HV pump?
do check that the pump mount bolts are not to long,,,
botteming out and not truly sealing the pump to the block surface...
test with the oil psi guage off the I6 motor...
next test, swap on a new regular mellings pump....
still reads low=parts error or build mistake in the rebuild
|GMC boogie
RARELY the oil pump is at fault. How much hot idle oil pressure? How much at cruise RPM? Mechanical or electric oil pressure guage? Are you sure it is good?
Are the front oil galley plugs sealing? Are the main/rod bearing clearances correct? New cam bearings? Are they installed correctly? If any of the groove behind the cam bearing is uncovered.....pressure will bleed by.
|i hope its not a melling m55hv pump. they castings were changed few years ago and they crack. melling doesn't recomend or warrantythem for anything besides a stock engine
im still getting pressure rise on engine revs, but mayb e only about 10 psi. the car came with a 307 and the distributor is straight out of that engine which is an hei i slapped in a few years ago to get rid of the old points style it origonally came with. and the 307 had good oil psi. 55 cold and 25-30 hot idling. the only thing different is the arp pump shaft that i bought at a local performance shop.
the sender is in the same spot as the 307 next to the distributor. the engines bottom end is completely rebuilt, and i trust the man (ive known him for years and is quite competent at engine machine work and building), who not only did the machine work (.040 over), but assembled the short block as well. the engine was given to me when the shop changed hands from being an auto machine shop to a transmission shop and the owner was clearing out the leftover engine parts and all to make room for all the equipment and all needed to run a proficient transmission shop.
so at least at this point you all can understand why the oil pump i had obtained is questionable. it belonged to someone else i knew and not that i didnt trust him, but i still opened it up and checked to make sure all was ok, which from what i could tell did. the only thing i didnt check out was the regulator for psi. im sure this is the issue, but i know there are others out there who have more info and knowledge of oil pumps than i do which is why i brought this up... thx for all the info and help.
"where" is the sender reading psi on the oil galleys does change the readings....
sounds like your reading the psi after the mains "and" cam bearings leakage PSI loss....
if it is only 15-20 at say 3000rpm, there is a problem
Here's some pump mods that can be done for performance and other Info. Used to be another good article with pics on another site but Pics are gone.
That is the exact problem I had on my 307. It turn out to be a bad distributor. It turn out the bottom part of the housing on the groove oil travel around it, then into the lifter gallery. It did not seal properly, and it leaked back into the oil pan. Let me tell ya, It was pain in butt looking for that low oil pressure. I replaced all the bearings and still the oil pressure very low. The pressure read 50-60 psi cold, and 5 -10 hot at idle. After replacing the distributor the oil pressure jumped to 80 psi cold 40 psi hot at idle.
Hope this will help you.
What's the part number on the oil pump box - if you still have it?
What is the pressure at WOT or 5,000rpm when hot?
SBC HVP oil pump, low pressure
ok, ive built engines for years, but i have my own problems with a new motor i put together recently. the oil pump i have in my 350 4 bolt is supposed to be a hi volume pump but only puts out about 35-40 lbs when cold and is terrifyingly low when warmed up, only about 15-20 lbs.
my inline 6 has a hi volume pump in it and has 75 lbs when cold and 35-40 when warm. what am i missing here? do i have a bad pump or what? do they even sell a hi pressure pump and hi volume? and what kind of psi difference should i be seeing? i dont want to hurt this motor., and i dont have the money to go back into it if i kill it. thx for the help

Discussion in 'December 2007' started by max, Dec 6, 2007.
Or lose by 6. Anyone wanna give Nocione the MVP award?
Well once again we fall victim to the Bulls...First they stop a 3 game winning streak by the Pistons on national TV (TNT) on 11/8 and now almost one month later they stop the Pistons 5 game winning streak on national TV too. The Pistons have lost six games this year...four when they allowed the west coast teams score over 100 points and two when they allow the Bulls to beat them scoring 97 and 98 points. Either they can't beat the Bulls or they can't play on national TV?? Frustrating game as the Pistons could never get beyond a six point lead and allowed Nocioni to dominate them in the 3rd and 4th qtr. In fact Noci, Duhon and Noah scored 45 points off the bench compared to the 14 we got off our bench. For the Pistons it was all Sheed in the first qtr scoring 13 of his 18 points then. Rip was the man in the second qtrs, hitting his first six shots, but only 3 of his next 10 and was forcing them in them up with frustration in the 3rd. Pistons did not score until about the 9:10 mark of the 4th with Billups scoring the first 12 points of the qtr and 14 of the Pistons total of 20. Tay and Dice looked horrible out there on the offensive end going a combined 4-19 with only 4 points a piece. They each had 2 points in the first half and 2 points in the 3rd qtr. But Billups kept passing to them because Flip didn't want to play AJ, AA of Flip jr. For the Bulls, they killed us on the boards in the first half as Ben and Joe Smith had 11 and 13 boards repectfully. However in the second hand the two of them only grabbed a total of 3 between them. I don't know what the points in the paint was, but I know they dominated the first half with them. Who would have thought the net difference in the game was Ben's made free throws as he hit 8 of nine including 7 straight. Bad loss for the Pistons as they had a chance to put togther a possible 8 game winning streak before heading to Texas next week. Also it gives the Bulls more confidence and we don't want to be responsible for waking a sleeping giant.
Flip played his token young. Six minutes, six productive minutes, for Afflalo. Just enough to avoid being fired. Not one bit more. He is probably proud of himself for it. Wins don't matter to him. Just as long as he can keep getting away with defying Joe Dumars. This game utterly cried for Amir Johnson to play. Jason Maxiell was in foul trouble, four fouls late in the 3rd, but he was kept in. Mohammed was totally ineffective guarding Nocioni - indeed its almost insane that Saunders even tried that for a moment. Jason was having deep trouble guarding Nocioni. Dyess had some foul trouble too. And still, no Amir Johnson, the quickest big on our team by far, and one with plenty of height to guard Nocioni. But Flip Saunders chose to lose the game rather than play a young player he is bound and determined not to play. Hayes did nothing defensively, and yet he played. Another case where Amir would have been the better choice. Some people may want to blame this loss on Tay. But wait a moment. You can't possibly expect more than 3 of our starters to have a crazy good scoring night. Rip, Billups, and Sheed all scored plenty. Rip started out 7 of 8. Billups scored about 23 in the 2nd half. Sheed had a blockbuster first half. More reason to play Amir. Dyess has not been playing 30 mintues a game for us these past 3 years. What makes Flip Saunders believe he is capable of doing that now, 3 years older than he was? His absolute insistence on playing the vets, his rationalization to do so, does not make Dyess any younger. Dyess should be playing 18 or 20 minutes tops per game, whether he starts or comes off the bench. On that topic, Dyess did absolutely nothing in the first quarter. Chicago was getting all the rebounds. Both ends. Every trip. Dyess shot 2-10 for the night in all, so its not like he ever made up for it. And in the 4th, the middle was full open with Dyess in the game. No rebounding from Dyess. No D. and no scoring. But I pretty much guarantee you it won't matter. Unless Flip is fired, we can only expect the same thing next game, a DNP, for Amir Johnson while Dyess gets overplayed yet again. Hunter did ok. Certainly nothing to write about. Certainly nothing to keep him in the rotation ahead of Stuckey when Stuckey is healthy. Not even for a minute. I'll take a 75% Stuckey any day over where Hunter is at. To the posters who continue to defend Saunders, I say you are part of the problem, the complacency, that Dumars fights every day. Lets all get behind Dumars and send the message, the youth must play. No excuses accepted.
I hate watching this team play the Bulls. On offense it is all one on one play. The ball movement seen the last five games was gone. On D they can't contain them on the perimeter and when CHI does miss they can't get the rebound.
Lee agree with your post and comments on Flip. If tay and Dice are struggling, bring in a young wipper snapper like Amir to see how he fairs. It was obvious that neither Dice or nazr were going to stop Nocioni. Not to say that he would have schooled AMir too, but you never know if don't at least try him.. with the Pistons struggling to score, I would have even tried Flip Jr for a spell to open up the lane and penetrate as the rest of the starters appeared to be intimidated by Ben and Smith in the middle. One of the many diffenrences between Flip and LB is that flip just can't seem to coach in crunch time as he relies on tired starters instead of fresh horses.. Did Max run into a woman named Delila? His energy seemed to be lost when his hair was cut off ??
Do you think the fans will ever start a "Fire Flip" or at least "Play Amir" chant? Our defense sucked. Our rebounding sucked. Our ball movement sucked. Our players don't listen to the coach. Good times! edited to add; Watch the Bulls go off now.
OMG!!! Talk about exposing a team. Beat to death on the offensive boards because Sheed and Dyess looked like 100 year old men that played back when the ball still had laces. Then we beat them in the 3rd qtr by 1pt, but then Skiles brought Nocioni in to play the 4 and it was over from there. I agree wih everything Uncle Lee356 said in ref to Flip and AJ. I'm not an AJ can save the day type cat, but this game was indeed screaming for the things that AJ does well. Ernie, so-true man...so-true.
Very unhappy to hear that they lost this game. Although with Ben going 8-9 from the FT line, WTF... I would much, much, MUCH rather have lost the New Orleans game and then won this one, rather than the other way around. Being 0-2 against the Bulls is very irritating.
just got back from the game - not a fun one to be at for sure. it really looked like the pistons said to themselves 'hey, we got 5 in a row, the bulls are too annoying to put out our best effort, let's just play lazy iso basketball and hope they shoot themselves out of a victory.' just terrible all around. bad switches - sheed guarding guards, no rebounding, no hustle, bad calls on maxiell, iso basketball, no ball movement, no coaching, no adjustments, nothing. the crowd wasn't into it, everyone arrived late because of the early 7 PM start time, and no one around me was all that interested in the game. i could go on and on, but i'll just agree that this would've been the perfect game for amir to come in, especially without tyrus thomas in the lineup. i also would've liked to see flip murray in the game, because we needed a change of pace and had no need for lindsey's defense and poor shooting, although he didn't play terribly. i couldn't believe how easily nocioni was getting in the lane, and how poorly our guards were defending dribble penetration, when chicago is small and slow. either way, this game was as painful to watch as the knicks game, because the bulls are not a fun team and have a collection of some of the most annoying players in the nba. on a sidenote, there was a woman there with the biggest rump i've ever seen, when talking about ratio of its size to her body. wow. imagine a skinny woman with two bowls of jello for her butt, each the size of small watermelons. seriously she had trouble walking with those cheeks. other fun parts were vinnie johnson sitting in the suite 2 rows in front of us, and an appearance by stone cold steve austin in the crowd. then later i went out to eat at applebee's near oakland university and watched 3 guys sit in the vicinity of 2 attractive girls at the bar, hoping to talk to them. well they must've been flagged far in advance, because the girl closest to them refused to turn around and acknowledge them for at least 30 minutes, and just chatted away with her friend. the guys waited patiently, and waited, and waited, and waited...but never got their chance.
How long did you and your two buddies wait Warthog?
Was it announced as a sell-out? And was anyone actually there?
haha dre. we didn't bother lee, they don't even bother announcing sellouts anymore because it would seem silly. every game has a couple thousand empty seats, and it sucks because i can't sell them!! haha. there was a pretty big crowd today, but like i said they arrived late and were never really into the game except for a few times in the 4th quarter. they did smooch cam, and after that was over, they panned the crowd for another couple mins and everyone was still smooching anyway. but yeah, pretty boring overall.
Flip proving why he can't win in the playoffs. He just has no clue how to make adjustments. Helen Keller could see that having a big on Nocioni was KILLING us. Outside of Max, our bigs play small, so Nocioni can guard them, but they cannot guard him. Never ONCE did Flip matchup with them by going to Jarvis at PF. It was the most obvious move on the planet, and Flip is still oblivious. He even put NAZR on him at one point!
I agree with you guys about Amir not playing. The guy is in his 3rd year here and continues to lack any trust at all from the coach. Tight game and his butt is on the bench while Dyess/Mohammed can stink it up out there. Ultimately we can blame this loss on the Bulls playing well. I know they could not have possibly been playing this well throughout their previous 5-11 record. Something about the Pistons inspires them.
Flip has to stick with what works. Remember in Milwaukee when he took out Rip? He should of done that with Tayshaun and Dice today. Chauncey: B+ He had a good game, but the Pistons always seem to lose when he is the leading scorer. If the Pistons would have won it would have been an A game for him. Rip: B- He played very well until the 4th quarter. He started to force shots and go after Hinrich. It was how the whole game went, too much one on one. Tayshaun: D Besides the throwdown on the Bulls Tayshaun provided nothing. Not only did Tay miss shots, including a wide open three that would have brought the Pistons within four late in the 4th, but he also got burned by Deng whenever the Pistons almost rallied. Rasheed: C Sheed was great in the first quarter. I don't really care about how he did in the 2nd and 3rd quarter, but he did horrible in the fourth. After he missed a tip slam he fouled Nocioni on a successful lay up. After this sequence Sheed was unaggressive on both sides of the court even though he should of dominated the last quarter. Dice: D Dice did not do much this game just like Tayshaun. J Max: D He has done great up to this game. His foul trouble may have been the reason. Lindsey: C He had some nice assists, but he did not make as big of an impact as he has done in the past few games defensively. Jarvis: C- He did not do much this game. Nazr: C Average game. Afflalo: C Average game. Flip Saunders: C Besides calling post plays for Chauncey in the 4th he did not make many adjustments like he has during the winning streak. Overall: D+
Man the Bulls get UP every game to play us....it's so obvious. They consider it a "rivalry" of sorts. We don't really care (which isn't bad necessarily because we 'cared' during the playoffs and won). But they bring an entire different intensity than any other game when playing us. AJ should've played--plain and simple--Flip putting in Nazr when their lineup is built off of speed and quickness was abominable.
Isn't Nocioni the slowest player on the entire Bulls roster? Why would we have to put someone quick on him to stop him from charging to the rack? Hinrich (Hinbrick) was getting away with a lot of slapping, holding, punching etc. when he was guarding Rip. Ben Wallace making his free throws was surprising and a big part of the Bulls win. The microphone on Rip was disappointing..."Move Tay, Move Tay"...
Nocioni isn't that slow. What he lacks in speed, he makes up in craftiness. A couple of his drives took some pretty good ball handling and required tough finishes with the left. By the way, how many times did we nail him in the head? I'm glad that none of those were called flagrant fouls. Nazr really clocked him, thereby taking one more step toward becoming our enforcer.
Good points, they should have been pulled. So much for not tolerating complacency. Made such a big deal about it when Rip has a bad game. Maxiel seemed to suffer from bad calls. There was that barrage of bad calls to end the 1st half where Maxiel was the victim. Refs appeared to make up for it to start the 3rd but it was too late for Maxiel.
Flip needs to stick with who is doing well. I am hoping to see him go with what works in Charlotte. I think Flip will pull out the starters if they are playing poorly, but I think he will only do this against the weaker teams. I am hoping he gets the confidence to do this against the teams that the Pistons might have to face up to the Finals (Chicago, Cleveland, Boston, San Antonio, Phoenix, Dallas etc.) This is the time to work with things.

The Wanderer Butterfly, or Monarch, is probably the most recognisable butterfly in the world. It populates children's books and is the classical species used to illustrate insect life cycles. The Children's Museum at Melbourne Museum has housed enormous replicas of the Wanderer caterpillar, pupa and adult for the last 13 years.

Wanderer caterpillars feed on plants known as milkweeds. In Australia these include plants introduced from Africa and South America, such as Asclepias and Gomphocarpus. One of the most common is the Swan Plant (Gomphocarpus fruticosa), which may have been accidentally introduced as part of the regular trade between Australia and South Africa, or deliberately introduced for the 'silk cotton' to assist in hat making. This species is considered a noxious weed in some parts of Australia, and its abundance has been dramatically reduced by weed control programs, leading to a concurrent reduction in Wanderer populations around Melbourne.

Milkweeds contain poisons called cardiac glycosides which are absorbed by the caterpillars and used for their own defences. These poisons affect the hearts of vertebrates such as birds, inducing vomiting at half the lethal dose. Wanderers advertise the fact that they are poisonous to eat with contrasting patterns of yellow and black in the caterpillar, and orange and black in the adult. The chemicals are concentrated in the tips of the wings of adults, so any bird venturing a taste will cop a full dose and leave the butterfly alone.

The caterpillars themselves also become victims of their own food plants. Studies in the USA show that up to 30 per cent of very young caterpillars become glued to the leaves of milkweeds by latex in the sticky sap. And when its first bite ingests an unusually high quantity of cardiac glycosides, a newly-hatched caterpillar may become seized for ten minutes or more in a state of catalepsis before recovering.

Despite this, some birds such as Pied Currawongs (Strepera graculina) and Black-faced Cuckoo-shrikes (Coracina novaehollandiae) seem to be able to feed on Wanderers with impunity. The caterpillars are also attacked by a tachinid fly (Winthemia neowinthemoides), whose larvae feed on caterpillars from the inside, slowly killing them. In some areas, particularly coastal NSW and Queensland, these parasites account for 80-100 per cent of Wanderer larvae.

Mating by Wanderer Butterflies can be an aggressive experience. Males patrol patches of host plants, awaiting females. When females appear they are chased with great vigour by the males, often spiralling high into the air. Eventually the male may overpower her with the assistance of pheromones that cause her wing muscles to seize, forcing her to the ground where he mates with her. In Australia, breeding may occur year-round in the northern parts of the Wanderers' range, but in southern areas thousands of adults cluster together in trees after mating to see out the cooler months. Although not as spectacular as the roosting sites in North America that host many millions of butterflies, these clusters around Sydney and Adelaide are a memorable sight.

Arsenal strolled to their biggest ever Premiership victory and the largest win of Arsène Wenger's reign when they beat Everton 7-0 on Wednesday night.
It was the biggest Premiership victory of the season and the biggest Premiership win since February 1999, when Manchester United beat Nottingham Forest 8-1 at the City Ground.
It was not, however, the only time Arsenal have put seven goals past an opponent in the post-war years.
The first occasion was in 1948 when Middlesbrough visited Highbury and suffered a 7-0 defeat. Although ironically the teams met again three days later and drew 1-1.
In 1956 Manchester City lost 7-3 at Highbury and 10 years later Danish side Staevnet Copenhagen were thrashed 7-1 in their own backyard in the Fairs Cup.
Romanian side Dinamo Bacau were beaten by the same margin in the same competition in 1970, only this time at Highbury.
Leeds United were on the wrong end of a 7-0 League Cup rout in the 1979/80 season after drawing the first leg 1-1 and Hereford United also shipped seven goals to Arsenal in the FA Cup five seasons later, losing 7-2.
The last time Arsenal scored seven in a league game was in February 1992 when Sheffield Wednesday were beaten 7-1 at Highbury.
The Owls were holding their hosts 1-1 but Kevin Campbell's second-half introduction ignited Arsenal's attack. Campbell and Anders Limpar grabbed braces and Paul Davis, Paul Merson and Alan Smith were also on the scoresheet.
Standard Liege were the victims of Arsenal's biggest-ever away win, 7-0 in the European Cup Winners Cup. Campbell (2), Merson and Smith were again among the goals, as were Ian Selley, Tony Adams and Eddie McGoldrick.
Incidentally, 7-0 is not Arsenal's biggest post-war win in all competitions. Grimsby town were soundly beaten 8-0 at Highbury on May 1, 1948.
The table below shows who where and when Arsenal have scored seven or more against an opponent in post-war years.

For the more information about the geologic resources of the National Park Service, please visit https://www.nature.nps.gov/geology/.
Soil Resources Inventory
Through the partnership with the USDA, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), the Soil Resources Inventory (SRI) projects help parks secure the information needed to manage soil sustainability and to protect water quality, wetlands, vegetation communities, and wildlife habitats. The information also assists control exotic species and establishment of native communities, as well as more management of potentially high-use or developed areas in the park (e.g., visitor centers, campgrounds, trails, access roads). This directly contributes to the achievement of NPS GPRA goal Ib1 (natural resource inventories).
The key SRI products are digital maps of the park soils; data about the physical, chemical, and biological properties of those soils; information on the use and management of these soils; metadata; and information products such as a soil survey manuscript, fact sheets, and image galleries. The information is in sufficient detail for application by park managers, planners, engineers, scientists, and researchers to specific areas of concern. Although these soil resource inventories follow procedures identified by the National Cooperative Soil Survey, the specific work plans are customized by local park personnel to meet their soil resource management needs, as part of local soils scoping sessions.
There are many challenges in completing a soil resource inventory on parklands, and most of our larger parks lack soil maps. Working cooperatively with the NRCS and several universities, the SRI is pursuing the use of new soil mapping technologies to facilitate data acquisition in remote areas, as well as those parks where wilderness designation or the presence of cultural landscapes preclude the use of traditional methods.

It's cool to think that your gun might have served in the military, but the gov't destroys it's used firearms or sells them to other countries. Hell, they won't even allow exported Garands and Carbines back in the country. You still have a sweet handgun there.

This "archive of social memory," which launched in 2005, catalogs oral history materials found on the Web and maintained in repositories worldwide-saving you the trouble of locating each of those resources yourself. As of press time, In the First Person had indexed more than 16,000 interviews, with links to 8,800 full-text and some audio and video versions. Webmasters plan to add letters, diaries and autobiographies in January, with quarterly updates to follow. Additionally, the index will link to more than a half-dozen Alexander Street Press databases, including North American Women's Letters and Diaries, and British and Irish Women's Letters and Diaries. A drawback, however, is that you (or your local library) have to subscribe to these particular databases to access the complete first-person accounts.
Even though the site's still in its early stages, you'll want to get acquainted with its offerings. Begin by clicking Help to read an introduction to the database and search software. Here it recommends three ways to search the database: using the Search Interviews, Find Collections or Table of Contents option.
