Question: I enjoyed my visit to Immigration Museum's Tribute Garden. Are there similar projects still registering people's names?
Answer: Many visitors to the Immigration Discovery Centre enquire about adding their family name to a wall or garden similar to the Tribute Garden at Immigration Museum. There are a number of institutions in Victoria and across the country that offer this service as a reminder of the contributions made by immigrants to Australia.
In Canberra, a proposed Immigration Bridge will feature a "history handrail." The names of 800 migrants will be engraved on the stainless steel handrail that will stretch across Lake Burley Griffin.
The Bonegilla Immigration Reception and Training Centre in Wodonga features a tribute wall. Over 300,000 people stayed at Bonegilla between 1947 and 1971 - now their names can be added to the Bonegilla tribute wall via its website.
The Shilling Wall and Garden is located at the Queen Victoria Women's Centre on Lonsdale street, Melbourne. It commemorates the original Shilling Fund from 1847 that was used to raise funds for the Queen Victoria Centre. You can add a woman's name to this wall by making a donation at the centre's website.
For those in New South Wales, a Welcome Wall is located at the Australian National Maritime Museum at Darling Harbour, Sydney. In South Australia, the Migration Museum in Adelaide has a Settlement Square where visitors are invited to have the names of their ancestors engraved onto pavers that are laid in the courtyard.
The final wall to mention is Australia's Virtual Immigration Wall of Honour. This website gives families the opportunity to enter details online and is updated regularly. This website not only allows you to honour and commemorate those who have migrated to Australia, but also gives users the opportunity to enter contact details in order to share genealogical information.
Meanwhile, at Immigration Museum, we continue to welcome visitors to our beautiful Tribute Garden, where the names of 7000 immigrants to Victoria are displayed. The names of those commemorated can be searched online. We also encourage visitors to share their migration story with us via the "Share a Story" database using computers located in the Immigration Discovery Centre. Entry to both the Tribute Garden and the Immigration Discovery Centre is free.
Hello Joseph. Immigration Museum's Tribute Garden is now complete, I'm afraid, but your family history sounds very interesting, and the other projects we mention in this article are still accepting names.
Hi Agnes. You would be welcome to contribute to the computer-based Share a Story database at the Immigration Discovery Centre, since there are no plans at Immigration Museum itself for another physical project like the Tribute Garden, at this stage. Thanks!
Thanks for this enquiry, Mia. Information about Museum Victoria's corporate values have a strong focus on social inclusion and diversity upheld by the organisation. You would also be welcome to visit the Immigration Discovery Centre to discuss these issues in more depth. Hope this helps!
Maria, are you referring to the Bonegilla Immigration Reception and Training Centre? If so, yes, you can still add your name to their Tribute Wall. Further information here.
Thanks for the question, Jay. The Tribute Garden was arranged by subcription, with payments of $100 and $200 received depending on the length of an inscription. This money contributed to the design and building of the Garden as well as administrative costs associated with the project. Hope this helps!
Hi Sue,
The Immigration Museum explores the stories of real people from all over the world who have migrated to Victoria.
The Western Australian Museum in Perth may be of interest to you, particularly because they have completed a 'Welcome Wall' similar to our Tribute Garden and Wall paying tribute to those migrants who arrived by sea, landing at Fremantle or Albany. Their website has more information: http://www.museum.wa.gov.au/welcomewalls/.
In regards to your mother's arrival in Perth, 1952, the National Archives of Australia (NAA) may be of assistance. You can search their archives on their website (select the 'search as a guest' option), http://www.naa.gov.au/collection/using/search/, for your mother's name. Please note that not all records are yet listed individually on the web.
Hi Tracy, you will need to contact the National Archives of Australia with a request for your family's arrival documents. Check out the Immigration Discovery Centre information sheet for more information about searching online for these records. We hope this helps!
Hi Carmel,
Regarding the Gables Migrant Hostel in Daylesford, the National Archives of Australia does hold an extensive list of records and information on migrant hostels.
I did find some information about Christianus Maas, the man who founded the Gables hostel in Daylesford, and how it came to be. It says that almost 300 Dutch families passed through the Gables during the years 1952 and 1958.
Peter Plowman's book 'Australian Migrant Ships 1946 – 1977' has information and a photograph of the ship. The Sibajak is also mentioned in Plowman's 'Emigrant ships to luxury liners: passenger ships to Australia and New Zealand, 1945-1990' as after the demand for passage to Australia declined the Sibajak was converted to become a cruise ship for holidaymakers.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.
Hi John,
Unfortunately Museums Victoria does not have any information on your great, great uncle or the Waterloo Inn. Please refer to the external links on thi...

Every week I receive an email from my mom, where she forwards me the Campus Chronicle written by Chris Rumble on behalf of the men's hockey team. And every week the email says something like "too funny" or "I love it." She has tried to be casual in hinting that our team should have our own Campus Chronicle and how much fun people could have reading it. Eventually I got the hint and started talking to my teammates and coach Teeter. We all thought it could be a great addition to our program and now you are reading the very first Canisius Women's Lacrosse Campus Chronicle.
We are currently 20 practices into our season, with just 11 left until our first game against No. 3 Syracuse and 13 practices away from playing 2013 National Champions, No. 1 North Carolina. It will come to no surprise that coach has made the road ahead a difficult one. We know it won't be easy, but we are confident the beginning of our season will prepared us for another run at the MAAC Championship title and NCAA tournament appearance.
With the friged Buffalo winter in full swing we are lucky to have an indoor practice facility nearby and the shuttle rides to and from practices have become something to look forward to. The embarrassing stories shared by the team keep us more than entertained on our way back to campus. This week we heard all about Steph Schmanlz's trials and tribulations with the springs attached to her braces in the 9th grade and how Janae Guy wiped out in front of her entire lunch period and was covered in her own food as a freshman in high school.
This weekend we entertained ourselves and Tori Greco's dogs with a few rounds of catch phrase. The game quickly escalated and soon there was a rule that every word had to be described in lacrosse terms. Ashley Bull managed to describe President Kennedy in terms of recruiting, saying his weaknesses would be shots. It was decided Caroline Ogden should definitely not quit her day job to play catch phrase for a living, as she tends to laugh instead of describe the words.
Just keep re'LAXING,

2013 draft picks: 1st round (26), 2(55), 3(88), 4(122), 5(159), 6(193), 7 (232)
The Packers have had a relatively quiet off-season. Both Donald Driver and Jeff Saturday have retired while wide receiver Greg Jennings signed with Minnesota. Charles Woodson is no longer on the roster and a free agent. That's a handful of veterans no longer in Green Bay.
But the Pack have all seven of their draft picks and they will have a chance to replenish their roster and fill some needs.
Draft Needs
1) Running Back
One of these days the Packers are going to have a running game to complement their outstanding quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Green Bay could go early on a guy like Eddie Lacy but it's doubtful. They likely wait where there should be some quality backs to choose from.
2) Wide Receiver
Here's what's interesting about the Green Bay offense – they still have some talented wide receivers but do they have a legit No. 1 guy? Do they feel they can use their first round pick to find that guy? At their spot at 26 they are in prime position to land a really good wide receiver.
3) Offensive Line
The Packers could use a center and could address this position in the third round or so. Travis Frederick from Wisconsin is the top rated center expected to go in the late second or third round. Barrett Jones, Brian Schwenke and Khaled Holmes are likely the first guys gone after Frederick.
Green Bay could also use another offensive tackle.
4) Defensive End
The Packers could use another defensive end. Datone Jones could be available at their first round spot. Do they reach on a guy like Margus Hunt and take him early?
5) Outside Linebacker
Green Bay could use an outside linebacker opposite Clay Matthews. Cornelius Washington, John Simon, Corey Lemonier, and a few others should be available in rounds two through four.
6) Safety
If you follow the draft then you know it's a pretty deep year at this position. It's not a critical need but the Packers would sure like to add some depth at the position.
7) Tight End
As Green Bay looks to the future they may look to address the tight end position. They could have an opportunity to select Tyler Eifert or Zach Ertz with their first pick. Then again, if they choose to wait the Packers could select one down the line in the draft.
Key Acquisitions

No Longer With The Team
Greg Jennings (WR)
Donald Driver (WR)
Tom Crabtree (TE)
Jeff Saturday (C)

When it comes to washing their hands, Americans say they are getting the message, but their actions speak otherwise. While nine out of ten (92%) Americans, in a recent telephone survey, said they always washed their hands after using a public restroom, an observational survey in 5 cities found the actual number to be more like 3 out of 4 (77%). That's down nearly 10% from a similar study done in 2005, and it's all the men's fault. The percentage of males observed washing their hands fell from 75% in 2005 to 66% in 2007. Overall, percentage of females observed washing their hands is only down slightly from 90% in 2005 to 88% in 2007.

Yulia Larynina, writing in the Moscow Times, revealed a possible secret plan by President Putin, Time's Man of the Year, to maintain his power in Russia. Putin recently visited the nation of belarus which is ruled by an absolute dictator named President Alexander Lukashenko. The Russian delegation brought with them a document which would lead to creation of a union of the two nations including a president who would be elected by voters in the two countries. It is clear why Putin would seek such an arrangement since it would be a back door route to allowing him to maintain the office of president, only it would be president of two nations, not one. His successor, Dimitry Medvedev under this arrangement would be reduced to the role of second banana and would have limited power. Obviously, Lukashenko hesitated with this arrangement because he currently is complete control over his nation, why risk taking a crack at being subordinate to a president of the two nations/
However, according to Ms. Larynina, the dictator of Belarus may have made a mistake in turning down the offer. She believes virtually all Russian political parties opposed to Putin would have voted for Lukashenko out of spite, and even members of Putin's party, United Russia might also have voted against him. In any case, the possibility of a union is a moot point because Lukashenko turned it down. He never even bothered to meet Putin at the airport and settled with his Russian friends on a new gas deal. We shall never know if Putin really wanted a union as an end run around the Russian constitution.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation has sent a strong letter of protest on behalf of a local complainant to Bay Minette, Ala. judges, regarding an off-the-wall proposal from Bay Minette Police Chief Mike Rowland to have first-time offenders attend church services in lieu of incarceration. FFRF issued the letter to Municipal Judge Bayless Biles, State Circuit Court Judge James Reid and State District Court Judge Jody Bishop.
FFRF Staff Attorney Patrick Elliott's Sept. 22 letter notes that Rowland is working to implement a program called "Operation ROC: Restore Our Community," which would put offenders under the supervision of pastors and require them to attend church services for one year, in place of jail.
"We want to teach them that they're valuable, that God has a plan, God has a purpose. That they can be successful, that they possibly can become the person that God wants them to become," Pastor Bruce Hooks said in a Local 15 (Mobile, Ala.) news report. The report said 56 churches have already agreed to sponsor the program.
"This proposal is an egregious violation of the First Amendment. It is a bedrock principle of constitutional law that the state cannot coerce citizens to participate in religious practices," noted Elliott. As the Supreme Court states in Lee v. Weisman, "It is beyond dispute that, at a minimum, the Constitution guarantees that government may not coerce anyone to support or participate in religion or its exercise, or otherwise act in a way which 'establishes a [state] religion or religious faith, or tends to do so.'"
By instituting this program, Bay Minette would also be in violation of the Alabama Constitution Article 1, Elliott said. "... no preference shall be given by law to any religious sect, society, denomination, or mode of worship; that no one shall be compelled by law to attend any place of worship."
"Even those persons in your community who have violated the law cannot be subject to violations of their right of conscience. They must always be free to choose wether or not to attend church without government interference," noted Elliot.

A Kearns woman accused of murder after a 22-year-old disabled woman died in her care has pleaded guilty to reduced charges.
Cassandra Marie Shepard, 29, pleaded guilty Monday 3rd District Court to aggravated abuse of a vulnerable adult, a first-degree felony, and manslaughter, a second-degree felony.
She is scheduled to be sentenced on March 22 by Judge Katherine Bernards-Goodman
Shepard faces five years to life in prison for the abuse count and one to 15 years for the manslaughter count. As part of a plea deal, prosecutors will recommend that the two sentences run concurrently.
Shepard was the legal guardian of Christina Harms, who died on March 25, 2011. On that day, police were called to a possible overdose at a Kearns home in the 4900 South block of 5415 West and found Harms unconscious, according to the Unified Police Department. She was later pronounced dead.
When Harms, who had fetal alcohol syndrome, was found on the floor of the family's home in Kearns, she had bruises on her body, bandages wrapped tightly around her arms and fingers, and a pepper seed stuck under one eyelid.
Police and prosecutors say the adults in the home Shepard and her mother, Sherrie Lynn Beckering, and step-father, Dale Robert Beckering would bind Harms' limbs with zip ties and keep her tied to a bar in a closet.
The closet had an alarm system and a knife was stuck in the door to prevent Harms from escaping. Inside the closet was a piece of cardboard with remnants of human feces, scented pine cones and a sketch of Jesus Christ, officials have said.
An autopsy found Harms was severely dehydrated and had potentially fatal levels of Benadryl or a similar drug in her system.
A jury in September found Sherrie Beckering guilty of first-degree felony aggravated abuse of a disabled adult. In January, a judge sentenced the 51-year-old woman to five years to life in prison for her role in Harms' death.
In February 2012, a jury convicted Dale Beckering, 54, of abuse of a vulnerable adult. He is serving up to 15 years in prison.
Shepard was originally charged with murder and aggravated abuse of a disable adult both first-degree felonies as well as obstructing justice, a second-degree felony.

A good friend of mine sent me a link to a website with a good tutorial on building a At-St helmet.
It is a fantasic resource for my project of put together a worthy At-St uniform to seek membership(finally after years of following the 501st).
The only problem is that the site in Italy(I think)and well....I cant read Italy.
If you can translate the photo text of the helmet build it would help me a ton.And if you know the maker of the helmet kit "he" is building that would help also.Here is the link*
*if the link doesnt open let me know and I will post the photo I saved from the site.
Thank you


text: I didn't see a (non-Wings) playoff thread posted yet and I just HAD make one so I could talk about the #8 Habs beating the #1 seed Caps in game seven tonight!!! It's only the 9th time in league history that the #8 beat #1 in the playoffs. It's the first time EVER, that a #8 team has come back from a 3-1 series deficit to beat the #1 seed. It was tied for the 5th biggest playoff upset (in terms of regular season point differential) in league history. The Habs held Washington's #1 ranked Power Play to 1 for 33 in the series. I didn't think they had a chance in this series. Even after Montreal stole game #1 of the series, I didn't think they'd win it. When they were down 3 games to 1, I thought they'd lose game 5. Then they were down 3-2 and I thought they'd lose game 6. Even after the series was tied, I thought they'd lose tonight. I think I'm going to bet against them in the next round too. It's worked well so far.

Tips for Better I/O Performance on the Cray X1: Part I
[ Thanks to U.S. Naval Academy Midshipman Nathan Brasher for this report on his work at ARSC this summer. ]
This article is the first in a two part series that comes as the result of a 3-week long internship at ARSC during which I studied certain parameters which affect input and output performance on Klondike, the center's Cray X1 supercomputer.
The Cray X1 at ARSC is a scalable vector system composed of 128 multistreaming processors, giving it a peak performance of roughly 1.6 Teraflops, or 1.6 trillion floating point operations per second. Supporting the Cray is 512 GB of RAM and 21 TB of disk storage space. It is the interface between the Cray and the disk that is the primary focus of this article.
It has long been known that the connection between the processors and the I/O devices is a bottleneck, a major obstacle in achieving good computing performance. The disk drives are mechanical in nature, requiring access time, time to change tracks, and time to rotate the platter to the proper position to write files. The processors and memory by contrast are solid state devices with no moving parts making them much more efficient. Because I/O to the disk drives is so slow, speeding up this part of the program can have great benefits in terms of run times and performance. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine under which conditions I/O performance was optimal in order to aid Klondike users in their programming.
The test was conducted as follows, a 1,000,000 byte array containing 250,000 4-byte elements was written to a file under various conditions. The time taken to write the array was tracked using the Fortran routine MPI_Wtime. All programming for this test was done in Fortran 90 (the code for this program is included at the end of this article).
The factors I evaluated were:
- file access method,
- file format,
- buffer size,
- chunk size, and
- blocking scheme.
What follows is a brief introduction to these five factors:
The Fortran programming language provides two types of file access: direct and sequential. With sequential files, you access records beginning at the start of the file, and must access them in order. Record size is allowed to vary. With direct access files, record size is fixed when the file is opened, but individual records can be accessed in any order. Some types of media are inherently sequential (tape drives for instance) and cannot support direct access files.
File format is the content of the output file. It is either binary data (unformatted) or text (formatted). A formatted file is readable in any text editor (eg NEdit) whereas unformatted files are an untranslated data dump, using the machine's internal numerical representation.
File buffering is provided by UNICOS/mp and was another important characteristic that was studied. One strategy to increase I/O speed is to store up many smaller writes into a section of memory set aside as a buffer. Once the buffer is full, it is written to disk. This scheme reduces disk access (and the resulting access times) and speeds up I/O.
Chunk size is a term we use to describe the number of elements per write. The 1MB array was written in chunks of various sizes. A chunk size of 250,000 4-byte elements would write the entire array at once whereas a chunk size of 1,000 would require 250 separate write statements to output the entire array. In the latter case, the record size would be 4,000 bytes (1,000 elements times 4-bytes per elements).
The fifth and final parameter of my study was that of the blocking scheme. File blocking is a system provided by the OS to structure files on disk. The four blocking schemes tested in this study are Fortran 77, Fortran 90, COS (Cray Operating System), and unblocked.
In part II of this series, I will present test results, a sample of the code used, and conclusions.
Short FAQ on "find", "ls", and /tmp purging at ARSC
Last Wednesday, ARSC restarted purging of files on $WRKDIR file systems on almost all ARSC hosts. Files not accessed in 10 days or more are subject to purging. Here are some questions you might have:
Question 1:
Why didn't these files in my /tmp directory get purged? They're over 10-days old:
% ls -l -rw------- 1 baring staff 9632 Mar 10 11:54 makefile1 -rw------- 1 baring staff 6685 Sep 18 2003 tree
The "ls -l" command shows time of last modification, not the time of last access. You must have accessed the files in the previous 10 days. The "ls -l -u" command shows access time:
% ls -l -u -rw------- 1 baring staff 9632 Jul 28 16:27 makefile1 -rw------- 1 baring staff 6685 Jul 28 16:27 tree
Question 2:
How can I tell, in advance, the files which will be whacked by the purger on a given night?
This "find" commands will do the trick. (You can replace "$WRKDIR" in these commands to any root directory from which you want to start the search):
% find $WRKDIR -atime +10 -print
Question 3:
I save tar files in $ARCHIVE and "un-tar" them in $WRKDIR. The dates on the untarred files are way older than 10 days, because I created the tar files a long time ago. Won't the purger just delete all these files?
No. See answer 1. The act of untarring counts as a file access.
Question 4: [ DANGER! ]
I copy everything to $WRKDIR from $ARCHIVE with "cp -p" because it's important to me to know how old the files are. ("cp -p" preserves both the modification time AND the access time.) Won't the purger just delete all these files?
Yes! Unless you "access" them somehow before it runs, the purger WILL DELETE these files. E.g.:
% cp -p /imports/archive/u1/uaf/baring/klondike/pat ./pat % ls -l -u pat -rw------- 1 baring staff 1270 Feb 26 11:08 pat % ls -l pat -rw------- 1 baring staff 1270 Feb 26 11:08 pat
SC04 Posters Submission Deadline Extended to August 2nd
The deadline for SC04 poster submissions has been extended to August 2. The conference is seeking poster presentations displaying cutting-edge research in high performance computing, networking and storage. Posters at this year's conference will occupy a prominent location at the convention center. Abstracts for accepted posters will be included on the conference proceedings CD-ROM, and a prize will be awarded for the "Best Poster" at the conference Awards session. For instructions and details on submitting a poster, go to:
Dealing with X1 PE5.2 compiler error
The X1 PE5.2 ftn compiler (the current default version) has an internal bug which halts compilation on some source files. We've only seen this error brought out by a couple of files. It should be fixed in the next PE release.
If you see this error on some file, the solution we're recommending is to compile everything else with PE5.2, then recompile the necessary file using the previous programming environment, PE5.1, and then switch back to PE5.2 to link.
Switching between programming environments is easy on Crays. The following module command switches you from the current to the previous default (at this time at ARSC, from PE5.2 to PE5.1):
klondike% module switch PrgEnv PrgEnv.old
And this switches you back to the current default:
klondike% module switch PrgEnv.old PrgEnv
If you have to deal with this, the more difficult challenge will probably be modifying your build process. Let us know if you need assistance.
If by some slim chance you get it, the error message looks something like this:
=============================== ftn-7991 ftn: INTERNAL FORCNL, File = mysource.F, Line = 1060 INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR: "Unexpected opcode class" (c_obj.c 52.29, line 1330)
And here's the "explanation" from the "explain" command:
klondike% explain ftn-7991 INTERNAL: INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR: "item" (item, item) Notify your system support staff with this error message number and any supporting information. This message does not indicate a problem with your code, although you may be able to change your code so that this error is not encountered.
Faculty Camp Schedule -- Users Invited to Drop In

Can't remember if there was ever a thread for this, but this is probably my all-time favorite music/rhythm game.
It's called Osu! and has some pretty great features. Basically you load a "beatmap" which can be anything from anime songs to 2013's top 100, or anything in between. People have made beat maps for just about everything that is even semi-popular. Then you simply play. The game is played using the mouse, and it's a bit hard to describe accurately. So I'll include a video.

2001 Mercedes-Benz CLK320 Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2001 Mercedes-Benz CLK320 based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
When the engine is running, but the vehicle is not moving, a rattle heard from beneath the vehicle could indicate that one of the exhaust catalytic converters has failed. The substrate (the internal part of the catalyst that reduces emissions) can loosen and bounce around inside the canister section of the converter—the defective unit will need to be replaced. If this problem is ignored, the substrate can break down and reduce to a size that plugs the outlet pipe, which will cause a sudden loss in power.
Cables in the convertible top tend to break. If the convertible top stops operating prior to reaching the desired open or closed position, the micro switches that sense the position of the top may have failed.
Cup holders in the dash are known to break requiring repair or replacement.
Poor AC performance may be caused by a refrigerant leak from the hose that connects the receiver drier to the AC condenser.
The crankshaft position sensor may fail. Symptoms of this are: The engine will crank—but not start—especially when the engine is warm. The car may start again if it is left to cool off, but it may run roughly or have poor performance.
The electrical connector at the automatic transmission may leak fluid. Over time leaking fluid could migrate through the wiring harness and damage the transmission control module. If that happens a new harness and control module may be necessary to correct the problem.
The instrument cluster display may lose pixels and need replacement. However, if the back lighting bulbs for the odometer display in the center of the cluster burn out, they can be replaced.
As a way to increase braking performance, the brake pads and rotors are make of a softer material and may be in need of replacement after approximately 20,000 miles; owners should be vigilant about getting their brakes checked.
The mass air flow sensor tends to fail causing poor fuel economy and Check Engine light illumination. The engine air filter should be replaced when the mass air flow sensor is replaced; a dirty filter can allow debris to damage the new sensor.
The evaporator temperature sensor can fail, causing the AC compressor not to cycle. If the AC compressor does not turn on, the AC system will not blow cold air. If the compressor is stuck on, the air will be very cold at first, before warming up.
An engine Oil leak may develop from the PCV vent housing on the valve cover and/or the inspection plate on the front of the engine.
Leaks may develop from the differential cover and/or seals on high mileage or older vehicles. Our technicians recommend a complete reseal of the differential unit if these leaks are addressed.
Irregular and premature tire wear can be caused by the lower control arm bushings cracking, resulting excessive movement at the control arm pivot point. Ball joints can also wear out prematurely, causing similar tire wear symptoms. I some cases it may be necessary to replace the lower control arm, including bushings & ball joint to correct this concern.
A vibration felt through the center floor of the vehicle can be caused by cracked and/or shredded driveshaft flex discs, resulting in excessive driveshaft movement. If not repaired, damage to the driveshaft center support bearing, transmission, or differential can occur.
One or more of the following steering linkage components may wear prematurely; tie rod ends, drag link, or idler arm. Our technicians remind us the wheel alignment should be checked and adjusted if any of these items are replaced.

NHTSA — Fuel System, Gasoline Problems
2010 Ford Fusion (Page 3 of 11)
CarComplaints.com Notes: Ford significantly updated the Fusion for the 2010 model year. We wish they hadn't
Throttle body issues have led to a ton of reports about a sudden deceleration and loss of power while driving. Ford issued a "customer satisfaction program" in March 2014 that, unsurprisingly, has left very few customers satisfied.
2010 is also the year we started seeing complaints about the power steering failing. Throttle and steering failure? Yeah, that's why this is a clunker.

Students in Lesley University's Sociology and Social Change BA program study the social relationships between individuals and the larger relationships between social groups and societies.
The major in Sociology and Social Change provides students with a strong foundation in understanding social life and the organization of society. Sociologists study the social relationships between individuals and the larger relationships between social groups and societies. The sociological perspective focuses on how social relationships, social groups, and social structures affect individuals in their daily lives and how they affect the organization and operation of society. The Sociology and Social Change bachelor's degree program has a unique focus on social change, investigating ways to improve social problems and the social world, especially from the perspective of social justice and equality.
Sociologists develop theories about human behavior, social organization, and social change based on evidence and research, using scientific methods including surveys, ethnography, experimentation, interviewing, and statistical analysis. The Sociology and Social Change major's strong focus on research and internships in the community prepares students for graduate school, and as well as work in the following professional settings:
Review the requirements for this major.
This course is an investigation of race, class and gender inequality in modern society. Students examine the causes of race, class, and gender divisions as well as the social structures that give rise to and maintain such divisions. Students also examine the effects of these differences on the daily lives of individuals in the effected groups.

One of the reasons that I recently traveled to Tokyo was to view the work of the architect Atsushi Kitagawara, as I am contributing to a monograph on his work. I spent several days seeing his designs in and around Tokyo, and it reminded me of the two main streams in contemporary Japanese architecture that have continued to fascinate me. One, and this is what we see most of these days in the West, is a minimalism that, in the case of the work of architects such as SANAA, is so extreme that it makes Mies van der Rohe's work seem monumental. Or, by contrast, in the work of the vastly overrated Tadao Ando, Hon. FAIA, so heavy as to be oppressive. This is work that photographs beautifully and makes most of us feel slightly ashamed for our demands for more space, stuff, and structure.
The work that we see less of these days is that which first came to the fore in the designs of architects such as Arata Isozaki. It is easy to dismiss it as Postmodernist, but I would argue that it has both deeper roots in Japanese culture, and is just as radical in its own way as reductive minimalism. It is a condensation of the complexity that is the modern Japanese environment, itself a collage of Western and Eastern traditions, materials, and programs. It delights in packaging and presenting simple things in elaborate forms. It is highly theatrical, leading you from space to space with strong contrasts and highly articulated frames.

Pistons and rods for sbc 350 ?
Hello guys, I'm getting ready to put together this engine I have, but I have to buy some pistons for it, I'm not sure if if should go with hypereutectic or forged pistons, dished or flat top. (does anybody know how deep dish there is in std cast dish piston) ? That's what was in the engine last time along with standard X-rods that had original rod bolt's which are the cause the engine was torn apart. It spun a rod bearing because the stock bolts could not hold the bearing tight enough at 7000 rpm's
So now I'm wondering if I should just put some Arp bolts into them original rods, or if I should buy some forged I beam rods with Arp cap screws from either Eagle or Scat.
Now I need to bore the engine 0.030" over and then I need new pistons for it as I said above, what is your recommendation in this case ?
The engine is based on a 4bolt mains block and has 235cc Rhs aluminum heads with 2.08"/1.6" valves, camshaft is comp cams solid street roller #12-769 - http://www.compcams.com/Company/CC/c...?csid=304&sb=0
Rocker arms are 1.6 ratio comp's gold. intake manifold is now going to be Edelbrock Victor, but last time the engine was together it had Edelbrock Performer intake, headers are 1.3/4" with 18" collectors. Ignition will be taken care of by tried and true Gm hei distributor, it will have Holley 850 hp carburetor.
Last time it was together it was installed into 3000lbs car that went to the track once and ran 118 mp/h in 1/4 mile. This engine had good manifold vacuum at idle, 15in/hg at 750 rpm.
So this engine is probably making somewhat close to 400 hp as it was, with it's low compression and performer intake. And max rpm's are near 7000...
If you need some more/better information about my engine, to help me choose the right pistons and rods, please just ask.
Best regards.
first thats not a 7,000 rpm cam,second,if you want to run 7,000 rpm get forged pistons.Eagle/scat rods are decent rods.check your crank to see if its forged or cast,forged is preferred for 7,000 rpm. Put on smaller heads,200 to 210 cc for a mild to moderate 355
vic Jr and 850 is great! flat top pistons will get you around 10:1 depending on CC of heads and head gasket.
If your crank is cast and you are considering buying a forged crank,you can now go for a few more cubes with a longer stroke,depending on engine application? 366-401 depending on block.
383 is the most popular and most reasonable. A bigger engine will also make that cam seem more mellow.
also if you plan to run 7,000 rpm,I really recommend a full blue print and balance.Get an after market S.F.I. approved balancer. Because you had bearing issues before,machine block for deck and square and align hone.
this is just a start of a plan,think it out.even with that small roller cam,500hp is with in reach.Find someone close by and have your heads flow tested.If hes also a head porter he can tell you what to do for your application,example,I had a set of brodix heads that flower over 300 cfm that went on a street car,we closed up the intake ports a little
Running it to 7000 rpm's is not something I insist to do, in fact I choose this mild cam to keep the rpm's down, but that does not change the fact that with these big heads it does pull very easily to 7000 rpm's and does not seem to fall on it's face at all. Changing heads is not an option for me now, but I might consider that option later, these heads do come off my racing engine and will be put on that engine before next racing season. These heads do have 64cc chambers, here in Iceland we don't have a flow bench, so we are not able to go to some major modification on these heads. The main reason I choose to use these heads are because I think it's better to use these well flowing aluminum heads, even though they are This big for moderate 350 CID engine, rather than using some poor flowing small valve Smog heads with bad combustion carachteristics and big bath tub chambers.
The crank is cast piece. But I don't quite think that's the main issue here, in fact there are local racer's here in Iceland that are running a nitrousd 8000+ rpm 355 CID engine in the 5.60's in 1/8 mile with cast crank, and lightweight rotating assembly. But maybe their pushing it to the limit..!
In fact I'm do already have a sfi approved balancer that I'm going to use and the block deck is pretty good, last time this engine was together I did use fel pro #1094 head gaskets that do measure 0.015" thick without problems.
You say that with flat top pistons this engine might be around 10:1 compression ratio, depending on heads and head gasket, deck height etc. this engine must run on 91 oct gas. But with this moderate size cam and aluminum heads that's maybe no issue with 10:1 comp ratio ?
I'm dead on that the only reason I had bearing issues is because these stock rod bolts didn't held up at these rpm's. But since we are started to talk about bearings, what kind of bearings do you advice me to use in this mild build ?
Best regards from Iceland.
Heads and headers way too big.
What is your intended purpose for this engine?
Last edited by machine shop tom; 09-22-2012 at 11:42 AM.
You wont feel the roll off in hp with a roller cam as much as others.I use quite a bit bigger cam and my peak horse power is at 6,500 rpm.(6470 on the dyno)It will easily run past 7,000 rpm maybe losing 60 hp? your cam will do the same.
Go ahead and put arp bolts in your rods and go racing. 118 mph = low 11s or maybe high 10s.Have fun,,,(headers are not too big) I used 1 3/4 headers on my old roller 355.
speed pro pistons are decent for this and if you use the 400 block use 350 rods
clevite bearings are pretty good too and decent priced
Machine shop tom : intended purpose is to put the engine into an off road Jeep.
Vinniekq2 : so this camshaft that i have will make peak power around 6000 rpm's, And should I limit max rpm's to 6500 for longevity ? Would it be better for me to use hi rise dual plane intake manifold rather than single plane Victor ? As I said above it had Edelbrock Performer intake When it ran 118 mp/h at the strip, the compression ratio was only 8.75:1-9:1 at the best. (does anyone know how deep the dish in stock cast piston is ?) so I would say that there's was some power left on the table in the intake manifold and compression ratio alone.
Ruthlessmr : I've been looking at speed pro pistons, I'm just not quite sure if I should use hypereutectic pistons or forged pistons. And yes, I'm using 350 block so of course i will use 5.7" rods. You said clevite bearings, they offer both P and H series bearings, what's the main difference and what's best suited for my mild build ?
Does anyone have experience of these sealed power digital diamond profile hypereutectic pistons ?
Best regards

The dual plane intake Vs vic is debateable. I choose open plenum intakes for my type of driving. Piston question has been answered.Get rid of hei and use a multi spark unit with a rev limiter. If a driveline part ever breaks at w.o.t. then the engine is safe.10:1 compression is a good goal to achieve with aluminum heads and 91 octane. I use 10.75:1 and I can get 94 octane at the pump.If you no longer use the car on the track then the dual plane will respond better at low rpm. fuel injection is much better for off road.
Thanks for your reply sir. The main reason I insist that it must run on 91 oct pump fuel is because the only place we can get 93 oct on pump is in or near the capital city, however we can get 91 oct everywhere in the country, so if in emergency I must be able to use 91 oct fuel. Is there any particular dcr ratio I should aim for ?
Carb vs Efi, well of course we can discuss that for hours. But I like the Holley carb very well and choose to use one in the jeep for simplicity. Also we mainly drive on snow so there's no serious rock climbing involved. So if well tuned carbs do ok in our environment.
Best regards
for that rpm you'll want a flat top with a small valve reliefs- shoot for about 10:1 compression, maybe a hair over.
I'd go for 6.125" rods and forged flat top pistons with a thin ring package. It'll last a lot longer and make more power.
i would run the hyper pistons flat tops all day long ,they should work great for the build .i have used many sets of speed pro hyper pistons and had great luck .
this should be a great budget motor
clevite p series have held up good
for what you are going to use this for should be fun and cool
Pistons and rods for sbc 350 ?
If the problem was spinning too many rpms I would purchase these rods. Eagle Specialty Products 5700B3DL19 - Eagle ESP H-Beam Connecting Rods - Overview - SummitRacing.com To go along with the beefy rods check out these Probe forged pistons. Your compression ratio with these pistons and 64cc heads using .015 head gasket will be 9.55:1. A set of Clevite P bearings will be fine to use.

Well guy's I have decided what i'm going to do..
I'we got my hands over a set of GM rods that have been worked, Arp bolts, beam polished and weight matched, so they should be up for the task. As far as piston's goes i'm decided to buy flat top pistons from speed pro.
I can get a set of ported 461 Double hump heads that are in good condition. would that be acceptable choice for this mild engine, and work well with my other components ?
So what we are talking about here is 350 sbc w. 10.25:1 compression ratio.
Ported #461 double hump heads, Edelbrock Performer or Edelbrock Victor intake manifold, haven't decided yet. Holley HP 850 carburetor
Camshaft is street roller from comp cams #12-769 - http://www.compcams.com/Company/CC/c...?csid=304&sb=2
1.3/4" headers with dual 3" exhaust.
Best regards.

I would think about the performer and 750 if you dont plan on bouncing the tach past 5k regularly.both intakes are a good choice,I would use the vic for myself because I do look for a little more on top.Most drivers are better off with the performer.
(My car has a vic and a 950 holley)
What kind of combo are you running if i may ask Vinnie ?
But anyways there's been a change of plans, and this engine is going back into my strip car. So i'm really considering about going with a bigger camshaft. And i can use 93 oct pump gas on this engine.

By Chris Harris
Arsène Wenger believes his players have the basic qualities to be successful this season - but they need to get the details right.
Arsenal resume their Premier League campaign against Sunderland on Sunday with plenty of ground to make up on their rivals for a top-four finish. There have been bright spots this season - home wins over Swansea and Bolton - but inconsistency has cost them points.
Wenger saw glimpses of Arsenal's best form at White Hart Lane last time out but once again he was left to bemoan the lapses that cost them a chance of victory.
"I would have loved to have played three days later," he told Arsenal Player, "because I felt the quality of performance was there but the outcome was very frustrating and somewhere I felt we punished ourselves.
"It is frustrating because I feel the basis inside the team is very good, that the quality of our play is improving game-to-game, that the attitude of the players is very good.
"But now it is time to transform all of that into positive results, knowing that to win or lose is not down to coincidence. It is down to concrete facts and these at the moment are details and not really basic qualities.
"We were not beaten on the day by a bad performance but because the details you need in big games were not on our side and that was very frustrating. The disappointment was big and ideally I would have loved to have played again soon afterwards. But maybe to get that game out of the players' heads it was better for them to have the international games."
The full interview with Wenger is now available on Arsenal Player.

2011 Charlie Slasher vs Abacus ride review
I've been trolling the forum as a guest for a while. Did lots of searching for info on another pow board. I think it would be great if we created a sticky- spreadsheet with different boards down the horizontal and vertical axis, and where they lined up across the grid we could link to another sheet where we could read different riders comparisons of how each of the 2 boards rode.
Anyway, I consider myself still green and this is no expert review. I'm not all that bad, I can bomb black diamonds and play through the trees. The time I was around double blacks, it was icy and I didn't want to risk bustin' my @$$. I already have a bunch of metal in my back from a motorcycle wreck.
I'm 5' 11", full gear about 200 lbs, size 11 street shoes. Stance width is about 22".
Both boards are 164. Bindings are Flow NXT-FSE. One board on top of another, the shapes are darn near the same, except the Abacus is a tad wider in the tail. Abacus is camber while the Charlie(CS) is reverse camber up front and a flat base from the front bindings through the tail. Both feel about the same stiffness.
Mid-season I picked up the CS. Stability, speed, handling on grooms, chop, crud, trees, and ice; the first run on it for me it already performed better than the Flow Merc I had.
Yesterday I picked up an Abacus. I only spent about an hour on it during the swap back and forth comparison.
I rode on a hill near work, with my buddy giving me rides back up on his snowmobile. There was about 2 feet of base left, with 8" to a foot of fresh powder and still snowing as I rode. The run was only a couple hundred yards long, with the steepness of what I'd consider a blue run. I also took some runs through the trees.
This is an initial impression and can easily change the next time I go out and ride both boards again.
The Abacus feels like a more aggressive board compared to the CS. I say this because when putting weight up front and initiating a turn it is very responsive and quick -more so than the CS. The nose floats very well. I had no problems slashing through the trees. The board felt good getting up to decent speed and didn't make me nervous. Riding in a wide packed track almost like a groomed run, it wasn't bad at all but I would need more time to get a better feel of it -due to its quick responsiveness. It also seemed to dig down deeper when banking to burn off speed.
The CS is not as aggressive on turns and more forgiving in general. I could weight more on the front in a turn without the board wanting to turn more aggressively. At higher speed the nose had more lift than the Abacus. This helped in the surfey performance carving in the powder. It also helped to ride with more weight up front.
This may be because I am used to the CS and not the Abacus. I could slash through the trees better on the CS. But the feeling of slashability on the CS seemed related to its charactaristic of being more surfey.
CS only- On black groomers, for me I found it took a little effort to turn quickly in a bind. I had to weight extra heavy up front and throw the rear more. Racing down the grooms I had better speed and straight dirction if I weighted heavy on the rear.
For what I did, I think both boards are winners. They just have different temperments and one should choose based on which temperment they prefer.
The CS is flat cambered from the front binding back. From the front binding forward, it kicks up to float the nose. That kick up is probably why you felt that it wasn't as aggressive when weighting the front. I have the 164 myself. It's a beast in powder and can handle groomers fine, but if it's not a deep powder day, grab a different board.
Is the CS supposed to flat cambered? Mine is a little convex between the front binding and tail.
There's always a margin of give on any flat cambered board. Usually +/- a few mm's.
Not primo in all aspects, but I don't mind taking my CS everywhere. I'm sure I'll get more boards for the quiver down the road.
Wish I was as good as this GUY on his powder board riding out of its element.
Yeah, the CS can handle groomers and whatnot just fine. It's pretty sketchy in bomber hardpack though.
That dude is just fucking sick though. You could hand him a sheet of plywood and he'd still rip it. Landing switch off of huge booters on a Fish... that's just not fair.

Hello, first post.
I'm a 33 year old British expat living in Germany, been giving private English lessons to grammar school and secondary comprehensive pupils for about a year. I've come to certain conclusions I would like to share regarding the quality of education here, as far as English is concerned.
Obviously, this quality can be expected to vary across the country, but there arguably is considerably less variation today than there used to be before the introduction of centralised, standardised final leaving exams ('Zentralabitur') some time during the last decade. I am basing that argument on two factors:
1. Up to a point, all pupils are using the same textbooks, 'Greenline' and 'Redline', and are expected to reach certain standards determined by criteria set out therein.
2. The books have flaws. A good teacher would correct such flaws as can be corrected, use the modified version to teach his classes as long as that makes sense, and begin executing his own customised lesson plan where it does not. Because the present education system (special sub-systems such as Waldorf schools excluded) mandates a standardised model, individual modifications and alternate teaching methods are discouraged.
Now, it is one of the most common notions circulated around that most if not all Germans have a good command of English by the time they may decide to enter the higher education system, and indeed a fair number of subjects taught at German universities would appear to require it.
On the other hand, the books used to such a large extent in German Gymnasien and Realschulen are riddled with errors not merely technical, but low level mistakes arising from the authors' and editors' insufficient understanding of the English language. The errors go unnoticed by the (German) teachers, and what ends up being assimilated is not actually English but a German's interpretation of what constitutes English. Based upon numerous conversation attempts with Germans ranging from thirteen year olds to university professors and everything in between, I have come to the conclusion that that 'Englisch', whilst possibly adequate for basic communication, is anything but for more complex verbal exchanges.
To put it crassly, they all seem to think they understand the language, but if you inserted any two verbally intelligent native speakers into a crowd of supposedly educated Germans, they would still be able to carry on a secret conversation between each other. Not because they would be using any advanced vocabulary or complicated syntax, but because the Germans around them would automatically misunderstand, misinterpret, and misjudge a significant portion of what they heard. The only ones who would potentially 'get' everything including subtext and wit are those who avidly read English books for fun, or have in some other way put themselves through a prolonged deep immersion in an English-thinking environment. (Note that I didn't say 'American', sorry Yanks.)
I suppose that, from an information warfare point of view, you could say this imbalance is a good thing, as it provides native speakers with competitive advantages in the global arena, but as an educator interested in as good as possible communication, I can only cringe.

If a person is asked to write about love to the country or love of the country which one is more specific?
Are high and privileged refering to government position equal?
Is taken down appropriate to describe the fall of a building?
Is turned off equal to put off when you don't like something?
Can "it" be used to describe something that was previously mention or are "that and this" more appropriate?

Posted by Manish Bahl on February 21, 2013
Data from Forrester's Forrsights Budgets and Priorities Tracker Survey, Q4 2012 highlights that a total of 53% of IT organizations interviewed in India plan to increase their software spending on mobile applications in 2013. Among all the countries, India ranks second only after Australia/New Zealand and considerably higher than the regional average:
It's encouraging to see Indian CIOs start to give a high priority to mobility software spending, but our research shows that the majority of mobile application initiatives are skewed toward employees and BYOT (and, to some extent, partners) with little focus on mobile customer engagement. Forrester research findings indicate that mobile applications will be a more critical channel to reach consumer markets in Asia Pacific in the future compared to more developed western markets. This is especially true in India, where the population is younger (according to the UN, 27% of the population is between the ages of 15 and 29), the mobile Internet user base is growing at the rate of more than 30% annually, and sub-$100 smartphones are further fueling mobile Internet growth.
What It Means For CIOs:

Glad you had a fun day
Today after I got off of work I was offered to go out shooting with some of my dad's friends and my friends. Almost did a few backflips in excitment because I haven't shot in like a month (not counting pellet guns and .22 colibris I shoot in my yard). I brought both my shotgun and my little brother's .410, my 10/22 (of course), my deer rifle, and as luck would have it my dad let me use his Desert Eagle. Also I brought a box of clay targets and my target thrower (and no, I didn't get hit by a target this time. )
After I either broke or missed all 90 of the targets, I then switched to regular shooting (which I love most of all). There was so much junk out there to shoot. Someone left a pretty ratty looking desk and well, my shotgun made short work of it. I had the misfortune of shooting them Federal 1 1/4 oz magnum slugs which I had forgot how badly them things kick. Didn't have it against my shoulder tightly like I was suppose to and now i'm paying the price now. :shakehead
A cool thing I did was I found an empty beer case box and I took a penny out of my pocket and stuck it to the beer case. Was about maybe 35-40 yards aways when I shot it with my 10/22. Missed the first time barly, but then nailed it perfectly the 2nd shot.
And of course like every days worth of shooting it had to come to an end. We then load our stuff up and then take a trip out to the river to cool off for a bit and then head on back to my house when one of my friends came up with the dumbest idea of all time. We had a bunch of .410 shotshells left over and he was trying to bet with us who can hold the most in their hands. I played along. I lost, but was able to hold 18 shells.
Oh well, hope everyone else had as much fun as I did today.

Beast, Prexis is offering a PKT barrel that is sized for all the PKT parts but setup to accept a PKM front sight, and he offers fluting as an option (yes there's a fee for this).
His base model barrel is a little shorter then the standard barrel too, he said something about a big price difference in longer blanks, he'd do them but it was like 100-150 difference.
As for the condition of the kits, mine is like Brad's, new or slightly used.
I'm in the same boat as both of you about the top cover, trying to decide if I want to watch for one with the sight or just put a rail on it.

For those of you that have experienced South Africa, it won't be a surprise if we state (objectively) that this is the most heavenly spot on earth. The winelands are stunning, with dramatic mountains, lush rolling vineyards, and that African blue sky. Taste a bit of Africa!"

A long history of growing grapes and making wine, but less of a history on exporting it, and even lesser on the quality aspect. At the turn of the century (1900, that is), a surplus of wine in South Africa created a hierarchy of cooperatives, the biggest and best known being KWV. This organization seemed to favor quantity over quality and had most control over wines and vineyards until the late 1980's. Now, with a bit more competition, quality is coming around. Yet, South African wine was not even seen in American wine stores until the mid-1990's – the trade embargo on the country for their racial apartheid laws kept South African wine out of the US. When apartheid fell, so did the embargo, and SA bottles began showing up on US shelves.
Notable Facts
White wine has always been the cash crop of South Africa, with much of it distilled to make brandy. More white than red is planted, much of it the Steen variety – known elsewhere in the world as Chenin Blanc. Good producers are making top quality dry wines from this grape. Another grape gaining some raves is Sauvignon Blanc, producing whites that are dry and crisp, yet rounder than many of its Southern Hemisphere counterparts. For reds, the top grapes are Syrah/Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon (& blends) and Pinotage. Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux blends was once the favorite and most-produced, but Shiraz is taking over as wineries crank out high quality wines from the variety. Pinotage, which used to be a grape only your mother could love, has improved dramatically and is often as delicious as it is distinctive. The most popular regions of the country include Stellenbosch and Paarl.
