The Dendrobatidae family of frogs makes up a group of about 75 different species of poison dart frogs; each characterized by different coloring and behavioral patterns. Poison dart frogs are found in Central and South America.
Poison dart frogs make their home on the moist floor of the tropical rain forests.
Poison dart frogs are conspicuously colorful, their bright colors warning predators about the toxic poisons that exude from their skins. Different species of dart frogs sport varying colors. For example, the species Dendrobates granuliferus is red and black, Dendrobates auratus is green and black, Dendrobates histrionicus is orange and black, and Dendrobates leucomelas can be yellow or orange and black. Most species of poison dart frogs are bright red, orange, yellow, or green and black. However, some species without toxic poisons are usually very dull in color.
Approximately 10 to 15 years. (Record 20.5 by Dendrobates auratus at Woodland Park Zoo)
In the wild: Dart frogs hunt ants and termites by day amidst the thick brush. Because their prey is so small, they spend a great deal of time foraging, increasing their vulnerability to predation. Their bright colors offer them protection as they forage, warning away predators such as snakes.
At the zoo:Pinhead crickets and wingless fruit flies.
One of the most remarkable behavioral characteristics of poison dart frogs is their care of offspring. The male frog entices the female to an appropriate spot to deposit her eggs. The eggs are laid on leaves, where the high humidity provides the necessary environment for developing eggs. In some species, the male frog tends to the eggs and newly hatched tadpoles. In others (such as with the Dendrobates granuliferus and Dendrobates pumilio) it is the female who takes on this responsibility. When the tadpoles hatch, they maneuver themselves onto the parent's back, where they ride through the forest understory. In some species, this is as far as parental responsibility is carried. For example, the species Dendrobates colostethus, which has no toxins and very dull colors, is made very vulnerable to predation by the hitchhiking tadpoles. They simply carry the hatched tadpoles to the nearest suitable water and abandon them.
With other species of poison dart frogs, however, this is not the case. After picking up the hatched tadpoles, the attending parent climbs high up into the forest canopy, where they deposit the tadpoles into a variety of plants including the bromeliad, whose numerous cup-like leaves provide multiple, water-filled sanctuaries where young can develop. One tadpole is placed in each pocket of water.
The parent also makes sure to distribute tadpoles among many plants. In this way, the entire mass of tadpoles will not be lost should it be attacked by the giant damselflies, which lay eggs in the bromeliads and whose young feed on developing tadpoles. Tadpoles also face danger from their own kind. If a parent approaches a plant that is already occupied by a tadpole, the youngster makes itself know by aiming its head at the center of the plant, holding itself rigid, and rapidly vibrating its tail. If the parent does not heed this warning and deposits its tadpole into this already occupied pool of water, the original, larger tadpole will eat the younger tadpole. In some species of poison dart frogs, parental responsibility does not end here. In the species Dendrobates granuliferus and Dendrobates pumilio, the female returns to each tadpole and deposits nutrient rich, protein-filled eggs into their private aquariums as food for the developing tadpoles.
Poison dart frogs get their name from the poisons secreted through their skin. The Colombian Choco Indians use the poison of the species Phyllobates bicolor to tip their hunting darts. The poison affects the nervous system and muscles, causing paralysis and eventual respiratory failure. It is potent enough to immobilize an animal as large as a monkey. Some species of poison dart frogs have poisons that are more toxic than others, but a few have no toxins at all.
Woodland Park Zoo's poison dart frogs are located in the Tropical Rain Forest. As visitors enter the exhibit, they are immersed in a garden of tropical rain forest plants such as fan palms, bananas, cocoa, figs and hanging liana vines.
Four different species of poison dart frogs live in their lush enclosure; green-and-black poison dart frog (Dendrobates auratus), bicolored poison dart frog (Phyllobates bicolor), orange-and-black poison dart frog (Dendrobates leucomelas) and two subspecies of (Dendrobates tinctorius), one large yellow-and-black, the other powder blue with black markings. Look for the poison dart frogs hopping and crawling around a puddle of water and lounging on moss covered logs and branches. They are hard to see, so look close and see how many you can find.
Poison dart frogs, as all amphibians, play an important role in nature's web of life. Wild habitat needed by these amphibians, however, is quickly disappearing. In addition to habitat destruction, the pet trade is lowering numbers of certain amphibian and reptile populations to the point where they may become extinct in the wild. Each of us needs to take action to protect wild habitats so frogs and all animals can continue to perform the vital roles they play in maintaining the delicate balance of nature.
Here are only a few of the benefits they provide: Amphibians help keep animal populations in balance. Amphibians consume many animals that humans consider as pests, including destructive species of insects. This helps to control disease and damage to crops. The poison of the poison dart frog and other amphibians may provide effective medicines to fight certain human diseases.
The effort to save endangered species requires cooperation and support at the international, national, regional and individual levels. You can help in this cause. Join and become active in Woodland Park Zoo and other conservation organizations of your choice. Please do not buy products made from wild animal parts. Contact your elected representatives and express your views about conservation of endangered species and wild habitats.
To find out about ways you can support conservation programs at the zoo contact us at email@example.com. Learn other ways you can help conserve wildlife and the habitats they require for survival by visiting our How You Can Help page.
We do not recommend reptiles and amphibians as pets for most people as they require very specialized diets and environments. We also receive hundreds of requests each year to take former pet iguanas, boas and other reptiles but we cannot accept these due to space, health and unknown backgrounds. If you need to find a reptile or amphibian a new home, we suggest you contact a local herpetological group in your area. In the Puget Sound region, contact the Pacific Northwest Herpetological Society as a resource.

Sorry to say it's you and not the gun. Your are doing one of two things wrong. 1. You are anticipating the shot going off and flinching.
2. You are putting your trigger finger to far through and pulling the trigger with the second knuckle which will cause you to pull low left.
If you could get somebody who is a good shooter to help at the range, you'd be way ahead of the game. Try practising dry firing at home. Good luck.

I got the bottom boards turned around, and that seems to work fine. They don't have the tendency to cluster at the old "deadend" entrance because it is behind the hive. Eventually, I will put a tray in to monitor the mite burden, but so far, everything seems to be going fine.
If you order an IPM Screened Bottom board and put it on a Hive stand. is that going to work to some extent? Or together or do you also need a Solid bottom board at some point later on?

Wolves and bears are very effective and efficient predators on caribou, moose, deer and other wildlife. In most of Alaska, humans also rely on the same species for food. In Alaska's Interior, predators kill more than 80 percent of the moose and caribou that die during an average year, while humans kill less than 10 percent. In most of the state, predation holds prey populations at levels far below what could be supported by the habitat in the area. Predation is an important part of the ecosystem, and all ADF&G wolf management programs, including control programs, are designed to sustain wolf populations in the future.
The Alaska Board of Game approves wildlife regulations through a public participation process. When the Board determines that people need more moose and/or caribou in a particular area, and restrictions on hunting aren't enough to allow prey populations to increase, predator control programs may be needed. Wolf hunting and trapping rarely reduces wolf numbers enough to increase prey numbers or harvests.
Currently, five wolf control programs are underway that comprises about 6% of Alaska's land area. The programs use a closely controlled permit system allowing aerial or same day airborne methods to remove wolves in designated areas. In these areas, wolf numbers will be temporarily reduced, but wolves will not be permanently eliminated from any area. Successful programs allow humans to take more moose, and healthy populations of wolves to continue to thrive in Alaska.

Santi Cazorla is delighted with the start he has made to life in England, and says it was easy to settle in at Arsenal.
The Spanish international has lit up the Premier League with a series of impressive performances, and was again excellent as Arsenal beat Tottenham 5-2 in Saturday's north London derby.
Cazorla's next target is to drive his new team to success.
"It's always a challenge as a footballer, to change the league you play in, try different things and integrate into another club," he told Arsenal Player.
"I took it as an opportunity, one to enjoy, and I'm relishing every moment. It hasn't been difficult adapting, because the football here is so good and I'm very happy with how my few months in London have been.
"I feel valued here. The manager gives me confidence, and within the team I have a responsibility that I love having. Little by little, I hope to keep improving and I hope to help the team as much as possible.
"We've all got to be pointing in the same direction to do well and make strides forward."
Cazorla is already a fans' favourite and their loyalty extends to the international scene.
"Even when I played for Spain against Belarus, there were a large number of Arsenal fans there," said Cazorla. "They were always singing my name. One of my team-mates for Spain couldn't even sleep, because they didn't stop singing. I love it and I appreciate the fans' affection.
"It's one of the best things about football for the players. Thankfully, the Arsenal fans are behind me and I hope it stays that way for a long time, because it helps me play well on the pitch."

Sabres avoid arbitration with RW Grier
Grier accepts Sabres' offer
'The bruising forward posted eight goals and 12 assists in 67 games for the Washington Capitals last season. He was dealt to Buffalo for prospect forward Jakub Klepis.'
Sabres Get Big Winger Back
'Grier will make $1,795,200 next season.'
Can Sabres find the right mix?
Here's a pop quiz: Which NHL team had one of the best records in the second half last season? Here's a hint, not too long ago they had a second home in bankruptcy court.'
In the Locker Room with… Daniel Briere
I have them, I just don't notice them. I think I probably tape my socks the same way or put on one skate before the other, but I don't think I have to do it before every game. That's just the way I do it. It is more of a routine than a ritual.
Sabres, ticket takers usher in 6-year contract
'The union employs about 125 people per Sabres game or concert. That includes 16 ticket takers, 100 ushers and nine doormen. "The big thing is there were no job cuts and that was something that was extremely important to us," said Pat Fitzgerald, Local 200 president.'
Briere, Biron, six other Sabres file for arbitration
'Hearings are scheduled for Aug. 1-15.'
Biron And Other NHL Goalies Meet In Toronto
'Everybody tried on the new pads and none of them liked them. Biron said, "After we put the pads on we found out they are not safe at all." He added, "you could tell that if you were looking straight on at the shooter, you'd have part of your leg exposed on either side. As a goalie, I'm excited they aren't going to change anything." Biron said, "They should back up the net and try to create more scoring chances. That's the way to go."'
Eight Sabres File For Salary Arbitration
'I would expect Campbell, Fitzpatrick and Noronen to come to terms before thier hearings. I don't see what they'll gain from their qualifying offers which would've given them a 10-percent raise. Those offers are now off the table.'
Eight Sabres file for salary arbitration
'Forwards Maxim Afinogenov and Mike Grier, as well as defenseman Henrik Tallinder, declined their right to arbitration. Tallinder, however, is reportedly close to signing a one-year deal.'
Sabres will open season in Columbus . . . maybe
'Seven games on the home schedule have been labeled as "Gold" under the new variable ticket pricing format. Gold games include all three home dates against the Toronto Maple Leafs – on Nov. 15, Dec. 13 and Feb. 1. Other Gold games will be Friday, Nov. 26 against Montreal, Sunday, Dec. 26 against the New York Rangers, Friday, March 11 against the Ottawa Senators, and the home finale against the Canadiens.'
Sabres schedule regular season game in Rochester
'"We are committed to regionalizing this franchise and these games work toward that goal," Golisano said.'
Sabres, Lightning to face off at arena
'Golisano and managing partner Larry Quinn wouldn't put odds on the chance of lockout. "It's not for me to say or speculate," Golisano said. "I think the players want to play and the owners want to play."'
Sabres Open The Season In Columbus
'You will not see Anaheim, Dallas, Detroit, Los Angeles or Phoenix here in Buffalo. The Sabres will not visit Calgary, Colorado, Edmonton, Minnesota and Vancouver.'

Yeah, I know a couple that I have no idea how they got one outside of being just lucky enough to not have been arrested or owe child support. I know a couple guys that are great people but can't make the cut due to things like child support while some others are just a ticking time bomb and have a permit to carry.
I'm not really sure how to make it where it would be much better outside of possibly reporting those that really shouldn't have one but how do you do that? Say he/she is some Gecko-45 type guy? The sad reality is unless they have done something there is nothing that can be done. You have to wait until it's too late.
I sometimes wonder if they give some of these idiots permits for fodder to fuel the idea that no one should have one. I have no idea how to make it right and I hate the idea that some people that have no business with a weapon at all let alone a CCW. Not without making it that much harder for the ones that do deserve one.

Annual event featured over 50 presentations, lectures and performances illustrating the art of research and the work of Lesley's faculty, students and alumni
Friday, March 29, 2013
The 2013 Community of Scholars Day, which focused on "The Art of Research," was an opportunity for all members of the Lesley community to participate in and focus attention on scholarship in various stages of development. All events were held in University Hall on Wednesday, March 27, and a special class schedule was implemented in observance of the annual event.
Wide-ranging sessions encompassed topics such as a discussion of Study Abroad at Lesley, children's language and literacy development through storytelling, a new interdisciplinary seminar for first-year students called "Courage, Risk, and Uncertainty," and a demonstration of clowning techniques to connect with other human beings.
"This day truly embodied a spirit of collaboration and appreciation of research on a grand scale," said Dean of Faculty Lisa Fiore. "From our student volunteers to our design team, every element of the day reflected the community engagement that Lesley has come to look forward to every year."
The day concluded with a reception and a musical exploration of research and interpretation, led by faculty and members of The Nature of Inquiry Class.

'By Reinprecht's estimate, he was a member of the Sabres for 7 minutes before Buffalo traded him to Calgary for Chris Drury, a former Colorado teammate, and Steve Begin. "I didn't quite see that one coming," Reinprecht said. "You expect to be traded maybe once in a day, not twice, so it was pretty funny."'

"We used this card for an open house at our business. We were able to modify the font sizes a bit which made it a better fit for us. The quality of the paper is outstanding and the product is beautiful in design. We used Tiny Prints for our Christmas open house invitation last year and received great compliments on them. Tiny Prints is our "go to" company for beautiful and fun invites."
"The quality was better than I expected. Nice paper I would have liked to change the color of the door to match the green print, but not a deal breaker."
"Loved this invitation!!! I ordered it for a Client Appreciation Party and wanted to convey it was an elegant wine tasting & appetizer event for adults. This card was perfect!!!"
"I received my cards on time and they were accurate. Tiny prints always makes a "big impression." I use them so often for so many occasions that people have come to expect something exceptional from me. Indeed these cards make a lasting impression. I would highly recommend the product. I should have chosen a paper with shine. It would have made it pop even more."
"The paper colors and print were great. I actually used it for a sweet 16 party. My niece's theme was a mardi gras masquerade, so the design fit perfectly."

EDIT: This thread was originally made to ask about shipping etc, but just when FP (Chris) himself said it was taking way to long for the package to arrive... ding dong... there it was.
My customs toke their sweet time for some reason and all the while Chris always responded to my messages, offered help, went to check at the post service on his end... a nice guy alltogether.
I think every good seller here on TDH should get like a " Golden Fettpride For Customer Service" medal or something. This guy diserves a statue.
Thank you Chris for sending top notch stuff over and for putting up with me.
Hey guys, anyone have any experience with getting items from across the states here?
I've bought some items from different people (reliable) and it's taking forever.
I donnot doubt the sellers so I was curious if anyone else experiencing hold ups.

Springfield, Ohio – For the 10th consecutive year, Wittenberg's state-of-the-art Barbara Deer Kuss Science Center will be filled with inquiring minds of girls from kindergarten to high school seniors as the university's science departments host Girl Scout Science Night from 6-9 p.m. Friday, March 26.
Registration will begin at 5:30 p.m., and the cost is $7 per registered Girl Scout and $19 for unregistered girls (includes $12 membership fee). Financial assistance is available. The admission price includes a Girl Scout patch and a light dinner. Between 50 and 75 girls are expected to attend.
For the program, the girls will be placed into small groups and rotated through educational sessions organized and presented by faculty members in the biology, chemistry and physics departments. Wittenberg students will assist faculty members in presenting the sessions.
The program began in 2001 through the efforts of Mike Crotty, Wittenberg School of Community Education class of 2002. The father of three girls, Crotty approached members of Wittenberg's science departments after seeing his daughters' enthusiasm for stargazing during an open house at Weaver Observatory. The university and its science faculty agreed to the concept, and the program quickly became a reality.
With the program's goal of interesting girls in careers in the sciences, the sessions are planned with a bit of the wow factor. Contact Rebecca Fensler at (937) 279-6534 for more information.

Original Danish manufactured Madsen Model 1950 LMG Parts Set with 30rd magazine, 30-06, *Condition Good* $285
Sold individually (as pictured)
The kit includes the demilled/drilled barrel and torch cut receiver pieces.
The stripped receivers are torch cut according to ATF specs , barrels are drilled but still perfect for display.
All other parts are intact, only the receiver was cut.
Comes with bipod & 30rd magazine (if legal in your area).
The wood carry handles on these kits are gone, apparently having been removed while in Military service.
This is one of the most clever full auto designs to ever be fielded & used in combat.
This LMG is basically an upside down full auto Martini Henry rifle.
This part set can make an interesting display of a historical Light Machine Gun (LMG).
These part sets can be been converted and built as a unique semi auto rifle.
The Madsen light machine gun is a recoil-operated, magazine-fed, air-cooled weapon that fires from a closed bolt.
It uses one of the most unusual operating systems with a non-ramming, tilting breech block, broadly derived from the 19th century single-shot Peabody-Martini rifles.
Despite its apparent complication, the Madsen was of high production quality and very reliable.
Produced from 1902 til 1970, these machine guns were manufactured in about a dozen calibers from 6.5mm to 8mm, and in a great number of variations.
Through the first half of the twentieth century many countries purchased the Madsen light machine guns; those nations included Finland, Great Britain, Netherlands, China, Imperial Russia, Portugal, and a number of other South American and Asian countries.
Of course, Denmark itself also made a good use of the Madsen.
Most Armies discarded their "obsolete" Madsen guns by the 1970's & few remain, although some guns were and still are used in more remote parts of the world.
We can not ship these parts anywhere prohibited by law, please check your local regulations before ordering.

Springfield, Ohio – Wittenberg University has announced that Michael Brady has been named assistant vice president of physical plant effective Sept. 1.
Brady comes to Wittenberg after serving in the same capacity at Beloit College in Beloit, Wisc., since 2008. He replaces John Paulsen, who retired from Wittenberg in May 2013 after 25 years of service to the university.
Brady will lead the day-to-day operations of the Wittenberg's physical plant, which maintains, operates and protects the university's picturesque 114-acre campus and facilities to provide a healthy, safe learning environment for Wittenberg students, faculty and staff members. He will oversee the department's budget and its dedicated staff members, much as he did the last five years at Beloit College.
"When conducting my research on Wittenberg University it was very apparent that Wittenberg is going to set the pace for other educational institutions to follow," Brady said. "The university just transitioned through a very difficult time, and now Wittenberg is focused on a new path, 'a vision for excellence.' I believe I can help develop that path and during that process learn from the Wittenberg community.
"When I arrived in Springfield I have to admit the very first impression was of how regal and picturesque the campus looked. The second impression was one of how friendly the people were. Both would make anyone want to be part of this community. I'm pleased to have the opportunity to be a part of Wittenberg University."
Brady is credited with leading construction and renovation projects totaling more than $100 million since 2001, including seven years as the director of facilities at The Bush School in Seattle, Wash. He has been involved in historic preservation efforts with the city of Beloit, and he led the construction of a $34 million science building that received a coveted LEED Platinum rating.
Brady holds an associate degree in heating and refrigeration from Red Wing Technical College in Red Wing, Minn., and an associate degree in electrical lineman from Dakota County Technical in Rosemount, Minn. He went on to earn his bachelor of science in business administration from Metropolitan State University in St. Paul, Minn., and a master's of business administration from the University of Nebraska at Kearney.

What an awesome campaign! Hopefully it'll help folks to examine other hurtful or negative phrases used every day.
I'm nearly 40 and it was quite a revelation for me recently when it came to my attention that teenagers (and beyond) still use being gay as some kind of ultimate insult. A few years ago I heard somebody on the street (college-age) call somebody else a "faggot" in a derogatory manner and I was really surprised but I'd assumed it was a fluke! I thought the times had changed enough but I guess kids are still kids...
Oh, by the way, it's not my intent to pick on teenagers or college-age folks. It's a weird time in a person's development and they're still trying to figure it all out (hell, so am I). I'm guilty of my own potentially-damaging speech.

I bought a front cast from Stormrider about 4 years ago and had it sitting in storage while I moved around the country, and finally, finally got around to putting everything together. I didn't have a fantastic budget to work with so I used an old door frame from a home reno we've been doing and build out on top of that. I also wasn't going for complete accuracy for the frame -- I wanted something low profile so the depth is about half of what it typically would be and that suits me just fine.
I also got a light cluster from Fettronics but ended up not installing it (PM me if you're interested in it, I have no need so can swing a really good deal on it).
It was a fun project, thanks for looking!

You probably began your family history research by scouring through old family papers and interviewing relatives. Before you knew it, you'd also checked censuses,
birth records and passenger lists, and exchanged information with several other researchers. Then, one day you found a census record saying your great-grandmother
was born in Indiana, but you'd recorded that she was born in Ohio. Did your original information come from a reliable source, such as her birth certificate, or was
it just a vague family tradition? Carefully recording where you find each piece of information will help you weigh conflicting information, compile an accurate family history and avoid duplicating efforts.

UBPAS is a final salary scheme and is closed to new members. It provides a comprehensive range of benefits designed to give some financial peace of mind for you and your family. These benefits are subsidized by the University, which pays a substantial contribution towards your pension.
The benefits you receive from UBPAS are in addition to any benefits you may be entitled to receive from the State Social Security system (including the flat rate retirement pension). However, members of UBPAS are contracted out of the Second State Pension Scheme (S2P). You and the University therefore pay a lower contracted out rates of National Insurance contributions.

NEW YORK CITY — The National Coffee Association of U.S.A. has published its 2008 National Coffee Drinking Trends (NCDT) market research study. Highlights of this year's edition include the continuing growth of gourmet coffee, with daily consumption jumping to an unprecedented 17% of the overall adult population (up from 14% in 2007). Total coffee consumers were reported to be 47% of adults age 25-39, matching this decade's high set in 2006 and up three percentage points from last year.
Among Americans age 25 to 59, gourmet coffee consumption surged to new heights in 2008, with 19% now daily drinkers. Dramatic increases over 2007 – six percentage points among consumers age 25 to 39 and four percentage points for those 40 to 59 – also are reported. Even among older Americans (60+), gourmet coffee drinking jumped to 15%, four points higher than the 2007 level.
Past-year penetration by coffee of the American adult population softened slightly in 2008, returning to the 80% recorded in 2005 and just under the 82% high set in 2006. Weekly consumption, at 66%, stayed above 2005's 64%, but showed a slight decline from 2006's high of 68% and 2007's 67%. Daily consumption also softened to 55% from 57% in 2007, but still far outstripped early-decade percentages that dipped as low as 49% in 2004.
In daily consumption, coffee drinking by adults age 25 to 39 rebounded to 47%, equaling the decade's high attained in 2006. Daily consumption among adults in the 40-59 age group held at the 61% high set in 2007. In the 60+ age group, consumption eased to 71% from 2007's decade-high 74%, coming in just above the 2005 level of 70% – stronger than the 66% and 67% lows reported in 2001 and 2004, respectively.
After showing annual gains of four to six percentage points each year since 2004, daily coffee consumption by 18- to 24-year-olds dipped for the first time in this decade, from a high of 37% in 2007 to 26%, and stabilized at its 2005 level. This age group is particularly susceptible to a drop in consumption during periods of economic softness, according to NCA. Facing above-average levels of unemployment, below-average incomes and increased demands on disposable income (especially fuel), these consumers often forgo nonessential items such as coffee.
In 2008, the study revisited consumer attitudes first explored in 2005 and 2004 to determine whether these have changed since then and, if so, why. In response to the question "In the past year I have heard about the benefits of drinking coffee," 46% of those polled said that they had, compared with 37% in 2005. And affirmative responses to the statement "Coffee is good for my health" rose to 36% from 26% in 2005. The number of consumers who have heard negative stories about coffee and health remained unchanged at 58%.
The NCA has published the NCDT report annually since 1950, based on data obtained in an exclusive nationwide random telephone survey conducted for the association by a professional market research firm. For more information, visit the NCA website at ncausa.org or call (212) 766-4007.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|OK Thanks guys. I was wondering what would be a safe level to fill to. More careful measuring showed the windage tray is only 1/2"(without gasket) below the lowest counter weight so I'll mark the 'full' just a tad below the tray. That way, when I fill the sump, I can tell exactly how much it holds.
How close to the bottom of the sump is the pick-up?
If it's the usual 1/4" or so, if it were me- and I was using a deep sump pan to reduce windage of the oil and not to protect against oil starvation due to loss or leakage- I would run 5 qts. in the pan (filter full) and call it good. Mark the stick at that level.
If you want to run all the oil that you can possibly fit, keep the oil level w/engine off for =/> 1/2 hour just below the windage tray. I wouldn't go over the tray unless this was needed in order to fit at least 4 qts.
I would add that IMO there's no advantage in running a deep sump pan full of oil. It extends oil change intervals, and takes longer to warm up to operating temp. Otherwise it would be the same as running a stock pan.
EDIT- Sorry pepi, I was typing when you posted.
Here is the way I would go about it, using simple common sense and some old school math ..
Is the pan 4 quarts or 6 ................ ready for the formula ?
Pour in the proper amount ........ the pans capacity. Go play a video game or watch some TV, and allow all the oil to settle / drain into the pan, heck wait a day to make sure all your oil molecules are present .
After waiting the proper amount of drain time, insert the dip stick . Remove and observe the oil level. Go too the work bench , note the location of the oil now mark the stick, exactly where you see the oil and the clean area meet... will need something other then a sharpie for the marking process ..
Safe oil level?
Did a search but couldn't find anything specific.
I'm trying to find out where to mark my dipstick for the 'FULL' mark. Basically, just how close to the counter weights is a safe oil level.
Not that it matters but...
This is a 406, the sump is 8" deep. The integrated windage tray is 3 1/2" from the pan rail(bottom of the block) and the crank sits about 2 3/4" below the bottom of the block or about 3/4" from the windage tray.

ESPN's NFL insider Adam Schefter tweeted that the New York Giants expect wide receiver Hakeem Nicks (foot) to play in Week 1. Schefter also added to the tweet "the question is how effective he will be." Nicks has only been well enough to practice for about three weeks and has had some less than 100-percent during camp. Now that it's game week, the Giants have given him a day off here and there. Assuming he plays, it doesn't appear that he's fully healthy just yet.
Fantasy Analysis:
Nicks is worth a start unless you've got some really great depth. The upside of his play style is too much to ignore. He can stretch the field, break tackles and work the middle of the field. For what it's worth, the Giants have been saying this entire week that Nicks is going to play. It's worth considering that the Cowboys will be using rookie cornerback Morris Claiborne to matchup against Nicks. If that doesn't whet your fantasy appetite, nothing will.

Arsène Wenger has called for a sense of perspective in the wake of Arsenal's surprise 3-2 defeat to West Bromwich Albion at the weekend.
The Frenchman admitted his team were "flat" at Emirates Stadium on Saturday as the Baggies surged into a three-goal lead after the break and held on for a shock win despite a late double from Samir Nasri.
Wenger has analysed the performance and now wants to draw a line under it as Arsenal focus on an important Champions League clash with Partizan Belgrade.
"The whole squad was very very low yesterday because we knew we had a good opportunity to win this game [against West Brom] and we didn't catch it," said Wenger.
"We have to stand up for what happened to us. It is our first defeat of the season and I think we have to take a perspective and a distance with that. We have done extremely well since the start of the season so now we will regroup and play well tomorrow night.
"Yes [it is good to draw a line under it] because we gave a lot physically against West Brom and it was not because we lacked effort [that we lost]," he added.
"I think we rushed our game and we didn't respect the priorities in our game and that's why we lost. But we gave a lot and I believe we will have a good game tomorrow because we are a good team."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

While a lot about Syria remains unsettled, one fact is clear: President Obama has failed to convince the public, and the Congress, that attacking the Assad regime is a good idea.
The administration has generated a flood of briefings and hearings, speeches and interviews, tweets and texts. No platform has gone unused, no argument unmade. The president even delivered a rare prime-time address from the White House. But Team Obama continues to violate two basic principles of political communications.
Start with the message broadcast on all those platforms. At its core, it's been mixed and muddled. Early in the campaign, for example, Obama told PBS that if he did act, he would "take limited, tailored approaches" that would, somehow, also be "clear and decisive." But his statements have done more to confuse people than convince them. He's been trying to say two contradictory things at the same time, and that seldom works.
The second principle violated by the administration was even more damaging. They've failed to show how the tyrants in Damascus — as evil as they are — directly threaten the security of the United States or its citizens.
We are a high-minded, good-hearted nation. In his speech, the president emphasized the horrific images of dead children, gassed by their own government, and even urged viewers to watch the videos of those barbarities.
But in the end, politics is about self-interest. Syria is far away. And a large majority of Americans remain unconvinced that their own safety demands a military response to Assad's perfidy.
The president conceded that weakness in an interview with PBS: "I'm not sure that we're ever going to get a majority of the American people — after a decade of war, after what happened in Iraq — to say that any military action, particularly in the Middle East, makes sense in the absence of some direct threat." His own wife, he admitted, is "very wary and suspicious of any action" for that very reason.
The president is correct. Syria poses no "direct threat" to American interests, only indirect ones. Those indirect threats are certainly real and potentially dangerous, but they are all conditional.
If we don't act, chemical weapons could fall into the wrong hands and could be used against us. Enemies like Iran and Hezbollah could be emboldened to attack Israel. The United States could lose credibility and influence. Future tyrants in future crises could decide there's no penalty for gassing civilians.
Those are all good arguments. But they're not working. As the White House's selling campaign has accelerated, its support has diminished. Several national polls, taken before the president's speech, all found that almost two-thirds of Americans oppose an attack. In a New York Times/CBS survey, 79 percent said that the administration has not "clearly explained what the U.S. goals are in Syria" and the president admitted before his speech that "the polls are not going to change." As he told a group of Republican senators, "I'm good, but not that good."
That skepticism is reflected on Capitol Hill as well. Rep. Loretta Sanchez of California, a senior Democrat on the Homeland Security Committee, spoke for many uneasy lawmakers when she told NBC: "I haven't heard that Assad wants to use weapons against us. I haven't heard that he wants to use weapons against our allies, that he's moving them to terrorist organizations. So I'm asking, where is the national security issue?"
The Russian proposal to shelve U.S. airstrikes if Syria agrees to turn over its chemical weapons could be a lifeline for a president who was likely to lose a showdown in Congress. Crafting a tough U.N. resolution acceptable to Moscow will be very difficult. But clearly Syrian and American leaders have a common interest in a compromise. Both want to avoid getting bombed — Assad by cruise missiles, Obama by Congressional members.
A week ago it seemed possible that Obama could assemble a winning coalition of Democrats who want to protect the president, and Republicans who want to protect the presidency. Not now. And 11 years ago, Obama himself gave the reason for his current predicament.
As a freshman senator, Obama famously said he was not against all wars, just "a dumb war." And Iraq was "dumb" in part because Saddam Hussein "poses no imminent and direct threat to the United States or to his neighbors."
Many Americans are deciding Syria would be a "dumb war" for very similar reasons. That's a lesson to be learned no matter how this crisis eventually comes out.

More than 40,000 people crammed into Pioneer Park on Thursday night as rapper and actor Ludacris headlined the latest iteration of the wildly popular Twilight Concert Series.
The number of people dwarfed the previous record of 27,000 set last summer when rapper and actor Common headlined during the first year an admission fee of $5 was charged, ending almost a quarter-century of free shows.
So many music fans attended Thursday that the show became what a spokesperson called "sold out," meaning that late-arriving spectators were only allowed in once equal numbers of people left.
While the sheer number of people coming to the show was jaw-dropping, it has become common for hip-hop acts and rappers to draw the largest numbers of fans to the Twilight shows, with last year's shows by rapper Nas and Common the highest attended.
In comparison, last week's Wednesday night Twilight concert featuring rock band Grizzly Bear attracted only 10,000 fans. Neo-soul singer Erykah Badu played last Thursday, drawing 19,000.
Atlanta-based rap collective Two-9 opened this Thursday's show with their crunked-out Dirty South sound that Ludacris and OutKast brought into the mainstream, a sound that showed that rap hotbeds didn't solely exist in Los Angeles and New York City. With five frontmen and one D.J., the members of Two-9 set off the show with call-and-response songs that included their rendition of Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's "Deep Cover (187 on an Undercover Cop)." (The California Penal Code defines the crime of murder as a 187.) Two-9 frequently baited the large number of police in the audience by asking the crowd what they thought of the police, a question answered by the band and the audience with their middle fingers raised into the air. Two-9 also told the crowd, "If you're smoking weed, make some noise," which drew a deafening response, accompanied by clouds of smoke wafting into the air that were illuminated by spotlights.
Ludacris is a 35-year-old entertainer most recently known for appearing in the latest chapter of the "Fast and the Furious" car-racing film franchise, "Fast & Furious 6," which has grossed more than $780 million worldwide since it was released in May. Five of his seven albums have been certified platinum, with the other two reaching gold status.
With a band that refreshingly included not just a D.J., but also a drummer, keyboard player, bass player, guitar player and saxophonist, Ludacris' set put to doubt any question of whether the Twilight sound system could handle deep thrusts of bass that you could feel in your teeth. Wearing light blue Nikes, tan khaki pants and a blue tank-top, the rapper confidently prowled the stage as he flashed his diamond earrings and diamond-encrusted shark-tooth necklace. And, even though he didn't take the stage until a few minutes after 9 most Twilight headliners go on at 8:30 p.m. Ludacris wore sunglasses.
An early highlight of Ludacris' set was his song "Area Codes," in which he proclaimed that "I've got ho's, in different area codes," and thoughtfully included Utah's own 801 area code.
The security team in the pit in front of the stage had its work cut out for it, as scores of young women had to either be rescued from the throngs of the crowd pushing them into the barricades, or crowd-surfed into the hands of the awaiting burly guards. At least one resourceful fan climbed a tree at stage right, much to the security guards' chagrin.
Next week's headliner is hip-hop star Kid Cudi, whose popularity equals or exceeds that of Ludacris. Hold onto your diamond-encrusted hats.

If there was ever gonna be a tried and true "palooza," there would most certainly be hookahs, don't you agree? If you don't, then you've obviously never been to a real "palooza" or shared a real hookah with a mess of carefree spirits. In which case you're just going to have to trust us on this.

Customer case study on Architecting Next Generation Security Management Infrastructure. RedSeal's automotive industry customer Polk faced the same the same fundamental IT security management challenges encountered by most enterprise organizations today - specifically those driven by increasing network infrastructure complexity and the emergence of more advanced attacks.
Polk needed to improve its ability to maintain continuous visibility into critical asset protection, and advance its efforts to achieve compliance with the ISO 27001 standard, among others. Polk sought added automation that would allow it to mature multiple security and vulnerability management processes.
Prior to RedSeal, the only way Polk could gain a detailed view into the current state of their security infrastructure was to ask the company's network team for a logical or physical diagram. Based on their static nature, the documents made for an ineffective instrument in attempting to gain insight into complex issue such as network change. Download this case study for more information on the implementation.

As for the "not infrequent cases of even young children killing each other with firearms that they "found" in their parents bedside table etc"
This is pretty recent data where asleitch's is from 1999;
And if I took you shooting I think you might enjoy it more than you's care to admit. It is a lot of fun.
In fact, fatal firearm accidents in the Eddie Eagle age group have been reduced more than two-thirds since the inception of the program, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. NRA feels that gun accident prevention programs such as Eddie Eagle are a significant factor in that decline.
"The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed"
(B) Accidental deaths caused by physicians per yearare 120,000.
if someone comes into you house with the intent to rob, rape, murder, do you think they will hold off while you unlock your gun safe, load your gun, and all that jazz?
If "The People" weren't so terrified by guns because of all the rubbish spoon fed to them

Re: deleting a title or subtitle in a notebook
Thank you for all the suggestions. The one suggested by Andrzej
Kozlowski does work, as do many of the other options (including
changing the Style back to the default one to reveal the brackets.)
So, my next question is, why does this action require all of these
intermediate steps? It seems that deleting a Title or subtitle cell
should be as easy (1-step) as deleting any of the others (in other
words, why aren't those brackets revealed in the Title/Subtitle

Young Japanese winger Ryo has joined Bolton Wanderers on loan until the end of the season.
Ryo, who has made two first-team appearances this season, both in the League Cup, has linked up with Owen Coyle's side for valuable experience to progress his development. The skilful forward will be following in the footsteps of Jack Wilshere, who enjoyed a successful loan spell with the Trotters in 2010.
Ryo signed a long-term contract with the Gunners in January 2011, before teaming up with Dutch giants Feyenoord.. The 19-year old was an instant hit in the Eredivisie, scoring three times and contributing five assists during his 12 league games in the Dutch top flight.
Direct and blessed with blistering pace, Ryo impressed during pre-season matches in Asia against a Malaysia XI, Hangzhou Greentown and also at Benfica. The youngster has made eight appearances for Neil Banfield's Reserves during 2011/12, scoring on his debut against Wigan Athletic in August 2011.
The 19-year-old is also a Japanese youth international, having represented his country at Under-15, 16, 17 and 19 levels.

Christmas started off for me in the Depression era: A red fire chief truck and toy soldiers.
Years later after high school, a letter from the local draft board in Ashland arrived and I was a real soldier.
I was 21, sent to Korea in an infantry unit working in ordnance.
I remember Dec. 24, 1952. If you had been there too, you would have wondered at such a sight. Unshaven men, haggard, dressed in battle-grimed winter clothing. Many had been on patrol and outpost duty the night before and many would go on similar duty as soon as darkness fell on the front.
I was there. A young Billy Graham was there to speak. I had sensed a call to ministry in high school but wanted no part of it. My running from it had landed me in Korea. But that Christmas Eve, I surrendered to that call.
I became a chaplain's assistant. On the front lines now, I worked in the bunkers and the first aid station.
Fourteen months went by. Then one day, out of the punch bowl, I headed home.
Then came college and seminary in Kentucky: Seven more years of education. For 45 years, I was a full-time pastor. Thirty-five of those years were at Stithton Baptist Church in Radcliff.
I called myself a helper in the gospel ministry. She lived only a few blocks from me. We had attended the same schools and the same church.
On Aug. 30, 1953, Mary Jane Hopkins became my wife. That was 59 years ago.
It's not easy to be the wife of a preacher. She's his cheerleader, counselor, critic and comforter. She has all the problems that he has — and him.
Oh, but how she has led me in the faith, supported me in serving truth and shown me the meaning of love.
The best part of Christmas is having someone to remember things with.
Then, one by one, our precious girls were born: Rebecca, Robin, Rhonda and Rene. What a joy they are to us. During those years, we loaded up the car and went to see the grandparents in Ashland at Christmas time. Great memories.
Janie and I have gone from two to 28, now with nine grandchildren, including two from China, and six great-grandchildren.
I like Christmas. Cards, candles, cookies, candy, choirs, carols, cantatas, charity, children, contemplation, communication, commitment, Christology. Christ is crucial to Christmas.
Take time this Christmas to really read your Christmas cards. Don't just look to see who they came from. Read them. The message, the artwork, pause and reflect.
What would the world be like if Jesus Christ never had been born?
Did you know in the Bible, after the birth of Christ is recorded, we're never told about anyone else being born anywhere?
It would seem an easy assignment to prepare a Christmas sermon, but after so many years it becomes difficult.
Here are some of my Christmas sermon titles: Angelic Announcements, Christmas Eve in Heaven, Don't Miss Christmas this Christmas, How to Handle the Holidays, Jesus: His Virgin Birth, The Amazing Child Who Was God, the Babe of Bethlehem, The Christ of Christmas, The Loneliest Night of the Year, The Mystery of the Manger and The People Who Missed Christmas.
As I grow older and still prepare sermons, the next time I preach I plan to bring a message on what is now my favorite subject — Heaven: The place, the people, the pageantry, the preciousness.
I am really interested in heaven. I can hardly wait. Resurrection means recognition.
2012: 81 Christmases. Wow! I believe.
Gene Bronston Waggoner, who lives in Elizabethtown, is a retired Baptist minister who served 35 years as pastor of Stithton Baptist Church in Radcliff.

text: I know it is next to impossible to grow. It needs to grow in the shade (like old growth forest) to cover it with a canopy of something. It takes 4 years to mature (sit back and wait). It needs to stay dry so plant it in hills to keep the feet dry. And after you harvest go and find somewhere else to plant it. It will not grow in the same dirt again. Ain't that crazy?

Groundbreaking Held For Uytengsu Aquatics Center
Nov. 2, 2012
In front of a crowd spilling over with Olympic swimmers, divers and water polo players and teeming with NCAA champions and All-Americans, USC Athletics celebrated its ceremonious groundbreaking Friday (Nov. 2) of the $16 million Uytengsu Aquatics Center, made possible by the record $8 million lead gift by former walk-on swimmer and 1983 swim captain Fred Uytengsu.
Uytengsu, whose gift is the largest ever to Athletics from a former student-athlete, joined his former swim coach and USC legend Peter Daland as well as USC President C. L. Max Nikias, Trojan swim great John Naber, Athletic Director Pat Haden and current women's water polo player Madeline Rosenthal as speakers at the hour-long event. Uytengsu was accompanied at the event by many in his family, including his wife Kerri (who he met as an undergrad at USC) and two of their children, Ashton (a 2009 USC graduate) and Kayla.
Uytengsu, president and CEO of Alaska Milk Corp., the leading publicly listed dairy company in the Philippines, as well as an active tri-athlete, spoke of his love and appreciation of USC, detailed his affection and gratitude for his former coach and shared his excitement of what the new aquatics facility will mean to USC's swimming, diving and water polo programs.
The $16 million Uytengsu Aquatics Center will include a new stadium entrance, diving and dryland training areas, men's and women's locker rooms, coaches' offices, meeting rooms, a new scoreboard, permanent seating and renovation of the diving tower and pool deck. It is scheduled to be completed in 2014.
At Uytengsu's request, the pool will be named the Peter Daland Pool.
Below is a feature story on Fred Uytengsu that will run in Saturday's football game program.
By Paul Goldberg
From A Walk-On To A Leading Role
They met in the dungeon.
That's what Trojan swimmers call the indoor pool tucked away in USC's 82-year-old physical education building, and that's where Wilfred "Fred" Uytengsu (USC Marshall School of Business '83) first met Troy's legendary swimming coach Peter Daland.
By 1978, Daland had already led USC's men's swimming and diving program to nine NCAA team titles and was regarded as one of the sport's giants.
Fred Uytengsu was 16 years old and attending boarding school in Los Angeles. He had already swum in international meets while representing the Philippines, where his parents lived and where his father had a thriving business, but he was not exactly a five-star recruit.
Uytengsu was visiting the campus at the suggestion of a family friend and found his way to the dungeon, where Daland was in the middle of a practice with such Trojan greats as John Naber, Bruce Furniss and Steve Pickell.
Standing on chlorine-stained tiles against a backdrop of banners displaying school records hung like tapestries around the pool, Daland took a moment to speak to the young swimmer, a caring gesture that immediately struck Uytengsu as extraordinary.
"I wasn't heavily recruited, and Peter's reputation was already quite stellar," Uytengsu recalled. "He asked me what my intentions were and, quite honestly, I was just hoping to be able to be part of the team."
Thus a relationship was born. Daland later offered Uytengsu the opportunity to "walk on" to a USC team jam-packed with NCAA champions, All-Americans and Olympic medalists. Uytengsu gladly accepted the offer.
By the time Uytengsu joined the Trojan swim team as a freshman at the start of the 1979-80 season, however, he could barely swim. During his senior year of high school, he had been involved in a car accident that damaged his right leg so seriously doctors were skeptical whether he would be able to swim again. The compound fracture required three stabilizing pins, and Uytengsu's rehabilitation lasted long after the large cast was removed.
But he didn't let that stop him from participating in team workouts at USC.
"I ended up pulling with a pull buoy for the first six weeks of practice," he said. "It was going to be intimidating just swimming at that level, and more so with the cast."
If the first impression he made -- showing up at practice with a cane and swimming with a cast -- struck his teammates as odd, the second impression really hit home. The walk-on's tireless work ethic in the face of a daunting injury soon became evident to every member of the team.
"Fred's great attitude and desire to succeed were evident during the rehab process," said former teammate Jeff Float, a 1982 NCAA champion and 1984 Olympic gold medalist. "He always had a will to do whatever it took, and he had a charisma and sense of humor to couple with his distance-swimmer work ethic."
While Uytengsu did not have the times to match those of his scholarship teammates, his hard work and affable personality helped him mesh seamlessly with the entire team.
Or, as All-American teammate Kirk McGowan said, tongue slightly in cheek: "He was a good pop-off. Basically, he fit right in."
Like anyone who wanted to stay on the team -- whether a walk-on or scholarship swimmer -- Uytengsu swam the yards asked of him, 5,000 or 10,000 a day or more. And in the beginning, he did it without much outward success. On a team with world-class swimmers, Uytengsu was a backup whose results were modest.
In spring 1982, however, at the end of Uytengsu's junior year, Daland approached him with unexpected news. His teammates had voted Uytengsu captain for the 1983 season.
Daland recalled the conversation vividly.
"Fred came to me and said: `This is crazy, because I'm not a great swimmer and there are guys who are. And now I'm the captain?' I said: `Fred, the captaincy is not dependent just on fast swimming. It's leadership and the kind of person that you are. These outstanding swimmers on the team felt you would be the best leader and you would be the one they would like to have there. My advice to you is to keep on doing the right things.' And he did, and he had a great senior year."
It was a harbinger of things to come for the future CEO.
"I knew I wasn't going to be scoring points at NCAAs, but there were other areas where I could help," Uytengsu said. "I suppose that was my first exposure to leadership. A leader isn't necessarily the person who is the expert in his field, but rather someone who can bring common people to produce uncommon results. Being team captain certainly helped me prepare for my leadership roles later in life."
As it turned out, leadership is an area in which Uytengsu thrives.
A few years after graduating from USC, Uytengsu returned home to the Philippines and began work at the Alaska Milk Corp., founded by his late father, Wilfred Sr., in 1972. Fred Uytengsu is now president and CEO of Alaska Milk, the leading publicly listed dairy company in the Philippines.
In addition to being CEO of Alaska Milk, Uytengsu owns the Alaska Aces, a professional basketball team that has won 13 Philippine Basketball Association championships since joining the association in 1986. He has also been credited with bringing the Ironman and XTERRA triathlon races to the Philippines, in addition to Ironkids, which encourages Philippine youth to exercise and compete. All of this is the natural manifestation of Uytengsu's passion for sport and his love of competition and fitness.
Uytengsu did his first triathlon a year after graduating from USC. He competed off and on until the mid 1990s, when he began to take the sport more seriously. In 2011, Uytengsu set a personal best at the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii -- just a few months before his 50th birthday. In fact, Uytengsu is in as good or better condition now than when he competed at USC three decades ago.
Uytengsu also is part of a strong Trojan family. He is married to his college sweetheart, Kerri (Dunn) Uytengsu, and has three children. The couple's eldest daughter, Ashton, graduated from USC Marshall in 2009.
Daland, the coach of so many greats, applauds the accomplishments of his former Trojan walk-on.
"I knew he was a life-winner back then," Daland said. "He was a motivated person. He also was a guy who always did the right thing. He has made the right kinds of decisions that worked not only for him, but also for his family. He's one of the best people I've ever known."
In May, Fred Uytengsu made Trojan history with an $8 million gift to USC Athletics -- the largest ever given to the department by a former student-athlete -- to provide a new home for USC's men's and women's swimming, diving and water polo teams.
Uytengsu's gift represents significant support for the Campaign for the University of Southern California, a multi-year effort to secure $6 billion or more in private philanthropy to advance USC's academic priorities and expand the university's positive impact on the community and world.
Uytengsu made the gift with one catch -- that the center's swimming pool be named after Daland, to honor the coach he still holds close to his heart.
"In many respects, I saw a lot of my father in Coach Daland," he said. "Both were men of few words. They were highly principled. They led by example. You were urged to do the right thing and do it right the first time. This is why I felt Peter did a lot more than win nine NCAA titles and coach Olympic, NCAA and national champions. He really deserves to be recognized for developing student-athletes for the next stage of life while squeezing out the best performance they were capable of in the pool."
That tradition will continue at USC, with a pool bearing Daland's name.
