Sandy • The city is abandoning the valleywide police dispatch service for a less expensive one.
With rising costs associated with the dispatch service, Sandy City police gave the Salt Lake Valley Emergency Communications Center (VECC) notice it plans to end service at the end of June.
The city plans on joining the Salt Lake City police dispatch system, and it will be ready to go live July 1.
Mayor Tom Dolan said the VECC costs have risen 32 percent since 2006, so the city began looking for a lower-cost solution.
"Fortunately, we find it is going to be saving us money and it is going to be state of the art," Dolan said in a City Council meeting last month.
"It has been a struggle," said Police Chief Stephen Chapman of trying to keep up with the cost of the dispatch service.
The Sandy Police Department has more than 110 sworn officers and serves a community of about 90,000 people. The Salt Lake City police's digital dispatch service will operate out of its sleek new public safety building.
"Technologically, it is going to be unbelievable," Chapman said. "Going forward, some of [Salt Lake City's] technology will be far beyond that currently of VECC."
By partnering with Salt Lake City, Sandy will be able to transfer to digital radio service. The Utah Communications Area Network provides a majority of scanner radio service to counties statewide but is still transitioning from analog.
Sandy will have some initial infrastructure costs by paying about $200,000 for digital-capable scanner radios. It plans to share digitized scanner services with Salt Lake City to save money.
By switching dispatchers, Sandy estimates it will save at least $200,000 a year.

This is getting more and more interesting all the time. I'll see if I can get the site to cooperate in order to get the content translated. However, it just says that he will be working with both skaters and pretty much nothing more. http://www.eter.es/dn/notis/albinoticia.php?id=15113

Reviews of this property
very calm farm house.
It is best if you like villages ...
away from the world of internet ...
but not far from Garda see and sirmione...
conduct of Laura was good even though she was busy..
We had a very nice stay in Laura's spacious, comfortable and clean apartment situated on a former farm (agriturismo). The welcome was friendly and warm, and we could enjoy some nice days in a beautiful rural surrounding with the Garda lake nearby. We can really recommend a stay at Laura's apartment.
Il posto è molto bello e comodissimo per raggiungere numerosi siti turistici. assolutamente consigliato!
Die Wohnung war sauber, Bettwäsche und Handtücher vorhanden und die Leute auf dem waren Hof sehr nett. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Nicht so toll war, dass die Zimmer für Eltern und Kinder nicht unterteilt waren. Es war ein großer Raum als Schlafzimmer, Esszimmer und Küche.
Laure is a very nice person and host and he and her friend gave us hints where to go.. I recommend you to ask her where to go, because those places were really amazing!
The house was very nice, too. It was in a quiet area and the neighbors were nice. You also have a ping pong table and football table. The only thing that I did not like about it, is, that it is 10 minutes from the lake, but Laura already explained that in her description and if you have a car, it is no problem and the way is pretty easy.
All in all me in my friends were very content and herewith I thank you again Laura, hope to see you again some day!

Today's "One of Hardin County's Finest Cooks" is a lovely lady and was nominated by her daughter-in-law, Lu Woodford. I had Lu's daughters in class and I see her quite often while stopping in at Surgical Specialists. It was obvious why she nominated Mary Lou Woodford when I got to reading about her.
Mary Lou told me she was influenced by her mother and her mother-in-law in learning to cook. Mary Lou's mother-in-law worked on the river as a cook and both her mother and mother-in-law fed large families. Their food was always good and the meal was never complete without dessert, she said. Mary Lou's interest in cooking led her to become a cafeteria worker at Lowes High School in Graves County in 1974 and she worked there until 1979.
It was at that time she went to work with her husband, Sam, on a river boat. She cooked three meals a day for a crew of 10 to 12 men. Mr. Woodford was the captain on the boat, so her husband was her boss. They worked 30 days on the river and 15 days off as they floated up and down the Ohio, Illinois, Mississippi and Tennessee rivers. In 1994, she and Sam retired after 38 years working on river boats and in 1995 moved to Elizabethtown to be closer to their family.
However, her days of cooking for others didn't end, as she has worked for many years in the kitchen of Severns Valley Baptist Church. She also baked wedding cakes for the Elizabethtown Community and Technical College Culinary Arts Department at one time for the students to decorate and presently bakes three times a week for Morning View Gardens Assisted Living.
Mary Lou and Sam have four children, nine grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren and have three more on the way. She is very proud that even her great-grandchildren like to help out in the kitchen.
The recipes Mary Lou is sharing are three of her families' favorites. The layered dessert happens to be her son-in-law's favorite. I hope you will enjoy them, too. Congratulations, Mary Lou.

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by just tuned in, Mar 21, 2013.
Are there any?
From everything I've seen, heard and heard from
Ben Agosto.
Boring. Why should they be all sportsmanlike and not have opinions and not believe in themselves.
Ben is a total sweetheart I'm told.
Todd Eldredge is supposed to be a nice guy too.
Obviously I'm biased (see username ), but by all accounts, Paul Wylie is a good one.
Jeff Buttle, Jeremy Abbott, Tim Goebel
Oh, and Alex Shibutani too, I think.
Add Brian Boitano to the list.
John Zimmerman, Kevin Van Der Perren, Hongbo Zhao, Robin Szolkowy
I always interpret a big ego with a lack of confidence in one's ability. The very best do not need to tell/convince others of their greatness.
Yags. Who actually claims he had/has an gigantic ego ...???
Actually, I would bet everyone mentioned has a HEALTHY ego. You don't get to be an Olympic medalist by being a shrinking violet and aw-shucksing. People who go around proclaiming their own greatness, especially at the expense of others, are generally dealing with insecurities.
Daisuke is exceptionally humble. Not that he likes losing.
Trankov Plushenko and Moir are especially humble.
But actually I'd say that tong and Zhao were pretty humble
First one who came to my mind was Daisuke.
And well, not that he's successful NOW, but Tomas Verner is an absolute sweetheart. And he was so during his successful years too. He's one of the most approachable skaters I've ever met.
But the thread would be much more fun if we talked the ones with biggest egos
Firsts at the top of my head; Brian Boitano, Todd Eldridge, Daisuke Takahashi, and Ilia Kulik.
Yesssss! Kurt!
In terms of Olympic champs, Urmanov comes to mind. He always came off very humble and classy, and it seemed to take him until 97 to even be comfortable with the pressure of being Olympic champion. Of course just when that started happening and he was at his best, he wound up getting injured.
Charlie White? He always seem classy in victory and defeat. Also Ben Agosto, Tim Goebel, Urmanov, Ilia
From my experience, Jeff Buttle is the most non-egotistical man in his outward persona I have encountered who also finished on top at a worlds.
David Jenkins
surely you jest!
Kozuka and Hanyu! Both so sweet and seem so softspoken, respectful, not stuck up at all.
Also, Fernandez has a lot of confidence, but he's never come off as entitled or egotistical IMO. He seems like a genuinely nice, sunny person.
Josh Farris is just starting to make a name for himself but in the interviews and press conferences at Nationals, he seemed shy and actually pretty dorky (still love your skating Josh!) but yeah, no big ego there either.
Oda and Kozuka. And Denis Ten.
i knew someone was gonna say this
im pretty sure the reason why scott comes off as egotistical is because he has to be confident for both himself and for tessa (because she isnt) and i think that shows how much he respects her. that odd look he gave at the 4cc kiss and cry was probably because he believed that tessa risked her health for their fd and that tessa isnt getting enough credit for what she is doing. scott knows his position in his partnership with tessa and he knows he is nothing without her. he even admitted that he's shit compared to tessa. IIRC egotistical can be defined as someone who thinks they are better than everyone and scott doesnt fit the bill because he cares about and respects tessa too much. im sorry but an egotiscial person would never care so much for someone more than they care about themselves. if scott was the egotistical dbag y'all make him out to be he would've left tessa back in 2009.
I think PChiddy is a pretty humble, but very impressive young man. I think he's taken a lot of bad press for the judges over whom he has no control, and handles himself well.
I see.
Javier Fernandez ins not called Javier the humble for no reason.
Stephane Lambiel in another one.
Of the skaters we've met - Kurt, Todd, Ilia, Charlie, Ben, Ross, Armin, Keegan, Jeff, the Shibs, The Kerrs, ...
Of skaters we haven't met, but of whom we have good impressions of in terms of humility - Taka K., Javier, Daisuke, Midori ...

Curriculum Overview
New for 2016
Clinician Educator (CE) Track
Starting in July 2016 we introduced a Clinician Educator (CE) track within the residency program.
• 2 residents per year in PGY-2-PGY-4 (maximum of 6)
• Application during PG-1 year
• Formal didactics on education topics (e.g., lecture preparation, curriculum design, education research)
• Requirement to provide formal teaching, such as medical students, junior residents, and other medical professionals
• Requirement to be involved in additional educational administration (such as curriculum review)
• Requirement to complete a scholarly project (e.g., poster, publication, workshop presentation at national meeting)
• Linkage with a Clinician Educator Faculty mentor
• Coordination with faculty development curriculum for CE faculty
• Additional funding to cover the cost of travel to meetings to present their projects
Educational Goals and Philosophy
The mission of the UIC Psychiatry Residency Training Program is to provide high-quality education and training. Our program aims to train psychiatrists who will become astute diagnosticians with a comprehensive understanding of human behavior from a variety of perspectives. Additionally, residents leave with the skills and competence to provide quality psychiatric care using appropriate modalities.
Our training program is based on the principle that all residents should have broadly ranged clinical rotations, opportunities to function in a variety of clinical settings, formal experiences in a wide range of subspecialty areas, and opportunities to pursue postgraduate fellowships and research career development. We also educate our residents in the current trends in psychiatry, particularly with regard to social and community psychiatry, neuropsychiatry, psychotic disorders, women's mental health, and mood and anxiety disorders.
Trainees are encouraged to be curious, to question and synthesize information, and to take on more responsibility and function with an increasing degree of independence. The underlying assumption of the training program is that four years of training in a general psychiatry program can provide a baseline breadth and depth of education and skills. The education of a psychiatrist only begins during the training years and continues beyond the residency.
Learning is a life-long process. Education and training can occur only on the fertile ground of clinical excellence and in an atmosphere where advancement of knowledge is encouraged. Partnerships and collegiality between faculty and residents promote an environment where education flourishes. Our faculty members encourage individual initiative and motivation, and the program is designed to meet the general as well as specific needs and interests of individual residents.
The four-year curriculum is designed to emphasize the resident's responsibility for psychopharmacological treatment, psychotherapy, and case management. Clinical experiences foster increasing responsibility and autonomy as training progresses. Whether care occurs in the emergency room, inpatient unit, or outpatient setting, the training program offers a clinical sequence with broad-based clinical opportunities and experiences. Dedicated faculty members provide supervision of all clinical activities.
As we prepare our residents for a future that emphasizes developments in the neurosciences, we continue our emphasis on the in-depth understanding of the psychotherapies.
Please see the links to the left that cover the specific year curriculum and seminars.
Additional Features of the Program
Call. Currently the overnight and weekends at the UIC Medical Center and Jesse Brown VA are covered by a combination of a nightfloat, short call, and weekend call shifts. The nightfloat rotation runs Sun-Thur, 8pm-8am. Residents are not scheduled for daytime clinical rotations during nightfloat. Short call is Mon-Thur, 4:30pm-8pm. Weekends are covered by a series of call shifts. Friday call is 4:30pm-8am. Saturday is covered by two shifts, 8am-8pm and 8pm-8am. Sunday is covered by one shift, 8am-8pm.
Supervision. Residents have on-site faculty supervision for each clinical assignment throughout the four years. In addition, each PGY-2 resident is assigned an outpatient supervisor for his/her ongoing psychotherapy cases. PGY-3 and 4 residents are assigned individual supervisors for dynamic therapy, cognitive/behavioral psychotherapy and outpatient child & adolescent cases.
Residency Education and Training Committee Meeting. The residency training director holds a one-hour meeting twice a month that is open to faculty and residents for the purpose of reviewing curriculum, policies, clinical sites, and seminars.
Clinical Case Conference.This weekly conference at the University Inpatient Unit is attending by residents rotating on inpatient psychiatry, emergency psychiatry and consult-liaison. Residents rotate presenting a recent patient with faculty discussion and review of relevant literature.
Chief Resident's Meeting. The two Chief Residents meet weekly with all the residents to discuss ongoing projects, review current concerns and to convey information. They also serve as the resident liaison to the faculty.
Journal Club. Once a month, residents review a specific scientific paper using evidence based principals and consult with an expert faculty member for discussion. In addition there are journal clubs sponsored by clinical sections within the Department of Psychiatry.
Grand Rounds/Residency Forum. Wednesday afternoon is devoted to educational meetings, case conferences, forums, and grand rounds. The series includes outside speakers, faculty speakers, and clinically oriented sessions organized by residents and service chiefs.
Medical Student Teaching. All residents participate in teaching medical students on each clinical rotation. A course on teaching skills is provided. Residents may also elect to give selected lectures in medical student courses or to teach a small group of first-year and/or second-year medical students as part of the Essentials of Clinical Medicine course.
Research. We encourage residents to do research. Residents who are interested in a specific research project should identify faculty with similar interests. Residents with prior research experience are encouraged to begin linking to faculty members early in their residency. Although clinical research can be conducted at any time during residency training, specific time can be allocated in the fourth year. Our department has been successful in stimulating the research interests of our residents. Easy access to faculty who can serve as mentors has facilitated this process.
Please see the link at "Research" in the left-hand menu for more information
Retreats. Retreats for residents only and for residents and faculty together serve to promote professional development and provide a forum for discussion of resident issues across a broad spectrum of topics. PGY-1 residents also enjoy a team-building wilderness retreat during orientation.
Departmental Libraries. The department has several libraries. The Jack Weinberg library at the Psychiatric Institute maintains a wide range of psychiatric journals and books, over 400 videotape titles, has a librarian and four computers for Medline searchers. The Edward E. Byars library is located at the Neuropsychiatric Institute, where the residents have their offices. It has a collection of the most-used psychiatric reference books and texts for the residents' immediate reference.

Almond Production
An almond orchard in the early 1900s.
The first U.S. almond appeared at the California Fair in 1854. For the next 50 years, growers experimented with locations and varieties. They learned about frost, blights, insect pests, moisture control, harvesting and selling to buyers who would visit individual growers by horse and buggy.
Some horticultural experts, notably A.T. Hatch of Suisan, experimented with scientific cross-pollination. Today, the leading variety is the Nonpareil, a Hatch variety. The isolated growers had little opportunity to exchange ideas about growing almonds. They frequently planted on marginal land and often as a single row of border trees to mark boundaries of land ownership. It took years for growers to understand the importance of planting in the valleys versus the hillsides (originally favored to escape frost) where irrigation could be practiced.
Many growers continued to cultivate varieties randomly selected by their own experimentation. Their profitability was also at the whim of a speculator schooled by traditional trading. Not until the growers organized a cooperative they called the California Almond Growers Exchange in 1910 could they begin to protect their investment of five years in cultivating their almond crop.
Prior to 1910, growers organized through local receiving sheds, which pooled their almonds for greater bargaining power with speculative dealers. In 1910, 230 growers representing nine local pools met near the state capitol in Sacramento and formed a federation they called the California Almond Growers Exchange. The total annual crop was 2,000 tons of unshelled almonds. At the time, almonds were shelled by European hand laborers at minimal rates and sold in the United States.
In the early years of the cooperative, the local association of growers was the member, and the local groups did not mingle their almonds with other districts. The growers hand-harvested and removed the fuzzy green-gray hull from the shell and hauled them by horse-drawn means to their local receiving shed. There, with little or no processing beyond bleaching, they were combined with almonds of his neighbors according to variety and shipped by rail directly to market.
Soil, time of ripening and other factors made variability in appearance and quality a growing problem among buyers. In 1913, T.C. Tucker, the first manager of the Exchange, leased a warehouse in Sacramento. This was the first step in central blending and processing.
Harvesters began with placing canvas "sheets" under trees to catch falling nuts.
Production after World War I increased dramatically as prices for food escalated. California almond production increased from an average of 3,500 tons from 1910-1919 to 9,440 tons from 1920-1929. Growers began to mechanize to compete with hand shelling and very low wages in Spain and Italy. They also joined the Exchange directly in 1922, instead of through their local associations, to gain more access to credit from banks to finance their payments through the cooperative.
Growers were encouraged to select a few proven varieties instead of the 70 varieties grown commercially for many years. This was drastically reduced by the 1960s to seven varieties. Since its inception, the quality of almonds delivered to the Exchange was an obsession. Yield per acre was also a concern. George W. Pierce, a founding director, a president (now called chairman) and an innovative grower wrote a farmer's guide for growing almonds. In an effort to help growers increase yields and quality, Exchange manager, T.C. Tucker, hired Professor R.H. Taylor from the pomology department at UC Davis to help growers improve their cultural practices.
In some areas of almond production, growers were only getting 300 pounds of almonds per acre - Tucker wanted 1,000 pounds to the acre! Taylor worked directly with growers to improve their production and their costs. This knowledge was used in important testimonials about tariff protection for California almonds.
Taylor was hired by the Exchange as head of the production department and spent the rest of his career working with growers to improve production, advocating for scientific studies to improve growing practices and providing extensive production information about international production practices. When the depression years hit, many almond orchards struggled to make a profit, which resulted in cultural practices that did not improve yields or quality of almonds.
In the late 1930s, the crop quality was at its lowest. The culprit was the peach twig borer (PTB), which had affected 10,000 pounds. The Exchange salvaged 70 percent of the crop through innovative techniques and new use of equipment. This led to more emphasis to growers on cultural advice in Almond Facts, a bi-monthly magazine that replaced the earlier Minute Book, about pest detection, leading to spray programs that advanced cultural practices.
By now, there were 90,000 acres of almonds planted in California and yields were averaging up to 561 pounds per acre. The Texas Prolific variety of almond first propagated by J.P. Dargitz of Acampo was re-named to Mission and new markets moved it from an inshell product to a shelled product demanded by buyers.
The end of World War II unleashed a pent-up wave of modernization on the farms throughout California. Many harvesters were designed and operated by various growers in the 1940s.
By the 1950s, rationing had unleashed a pent up wave of modernization on the farm. A cultural revolution began with labor and water-saving sprinkler systems which replaced flood irrigation in many orchards; mechanical knockers, sweepers and harvesters took back-breaking labor out of harvest; wind machines instead of hand-placed and tended smudge pots warmed delicate buds during frost; and powerful fan-driven sprayers driven by a single worker versus hand-held nozzles applied by crews of workers were now the norm. A new era of mechanization for every aspect of harvest had begun to revolutionize the industry. Yields climbed, production and labor costs went down and as the industry worked even closer with the University of California to solve production challenges, new almond plantings forged ahead. By the late 1970s, almonds had become California's largest tree crop and largest food export!
That legacy continues in 2010 and beyond as 1.5 billion pound crops continue to break new consumption records. By 2000, the industry was spending more than a million dollars annually on improving cultural practices and the environment for a more sustainable agriculture. Almond growers never gave up their drive to be stewards of the land as they continue to produce more with less.

SAP Has Managed A Turnaround After Léo Apotheker's Departure
In February 2010, after Léo Apotheker resigned as CEO of SAP, I wrote a blog post with 10 predictions for the company for the remaining year. Although the new leadership mentioned again and again that this step would not have any influence on the company's strategy, it was clear that further changes would follow, as it doesn't make any sense to simply replace the CEO and leave everything else as is when problems were obviously growing bigger for the company.
I predicted that the SAP leadership change was just the starting point, the visible tip of an iceberg, with further changes to come. Today, one year later, I want to review these predictions and shed some light on 2010, which has become the "Turnaround Year For SAP."
The 10 SAP Predictions For 2010 And Their Results (7 proved true / 3 proved wrong)

Bruce Cambern as I noted can take 3 or 4 hours explaining the New Geometry and setups he uses on his Cobra for different tracks, but doesn't like traveling all over the country any more, stays mostly in Calif races any more.
castor and kingpin
Castor angle and king pin inclination have to work together. bend a paper clip into a T shape, to simulate kingpin and spindle at 0 castor . rotate the spindle end, it stays the same height as the wheel turns. (Some heavy equipment geometry) Now tilt it back to simulate castor with a 90 * kinpin inclination. as you turn the spindle end moves closer to the ground in one direction and farther away the other direction, as the spindle tries to move closer to the ground it raises the vehicle, the weight tries to move the wheel back straight ahead and the inertia can move the wheel past straight and it will lower that side, The Front end can start to "dance". now bend the paper clip to simulate king pin inclination, at 0* castor. as you turn either direction the end of the spindle tries to move closer to the ground, raising the vehicle, vehicle weight tries to return the wheels to straight ahead whether you turn left or right. Now with your king pin inclination add in some castor, as you turn you will get differents amounts of lift depending which way you turn , with a rigid chassis the weight on that side will help point the wheels back straight. as you add more castor you can reach a point where you will get a lot of lift in one direction and Drop in the other direction. that tire will try to "float" no directional stability when turned one direction for that wheel.. Some of the 70's drag cars had new spindles made with around 15 degrees king pin inclination so they could run a lot more castor before reaching the "float point". I the early 60's I tried to explain what was wrong with the local engine builder's Studebaker Bonneville racer front end geometry. as I left I said you will get that thing upside down !!. Two weeks later He ran 5 MPH over the record , then on his back up run it started to "dance" rolled several times, The hemi stayed under the hood but the bellhousing broke apart and the 4 speed went out the backwindow breaking his arm on it's way thru.
In that photo I don't see anywhere near 7 degrees, so either you changed it from the photo or it's just an odd angle and I can't see it. But 7 degrees is quite a bit and you WILL see that just looking at an axle in a car.
The ackerman angle is a basic principle that when you round a corner the inside tire is following a tighter radius than the outside tire.
Like at a track meet, the inside runner has to have their starting point back from the outside running because they are going to be running on a shorter lane, right?
The inside lanes are noticeably shorter than the outside lanes.
Just as the track when your car goes around a corner, the inside tires are taking a shorter route. The rear end differential allows the inside tire to roll slower than the outside. If you had a locked rear end the tires would be squealing skidding on the ground fighting against each other as you went around a corner right? The front is doing the same thing on your car. The not only is the inside tire not turned sharper than the outside but it is literally not turning as much! Your left tire is is turning LESS than your right tire when you make a left turn!
This can make a car do all kinds of odd things as you are going in a straight line as your wheels are wanting to to in different directions every so slightly but that is what is happening with just a little turn of your steering wheel.
There are tons of cars out there with the setup as you have so it "works" for some people, maybe with wider tires it is less noticeable? It may "work" but it is NOT correct, it is a horrible mistake when we talk about steering geometry, it is WRONG.
On the caster issue, most old cars have very little caster, 1-3 degrees. The more caster the more it likes high speed in a straight line. The more caster, the less it "likes" to make turns. As an example a high end BMW seven series which is made for those high speed autobahns will be 6 or 7 degrees while a little BMW 3 series will have only 3-4 because it is more of a "canyon carver" kinda car.
So the more faster the straighter it should go and the less rolling resistance. A land speed record kinda car will have as much as 18 degrees. I remember the old rails use to run so much caster the tires would flop over side to side instead of turn! But you don't see that anymore so they must have learned that is just isn't worth the loss of control for the little less rolling resistance they gave up with less caster.
How are you measuring the angles?
You can improve the handling with the front mounted tie rod by heating and bending or cutting and re-welding the steering arms to move the pivot -attachment of the tie rod ends as close as possible to your wheel spokes. Ackerman needs to have the wheels pointed straight ahead, and a line drawn thru centerline of the king pin, the tie rod end pivot and intersecting the center point of the rear axle., draw a V, the rear axle center is the point of the v and the tie rod and king pins are on the lines, When you get into racing with IRS and IFS things start to change, A good friend of mine, Bruce Cambern, Retired head of Ford Racing, Had all 4 wheels on his 427 Cobra pointing different directions when he set a road course record at MIS, and won 3 firsts and one second, overall first place at the 2009 optima, good Utubes, the incar shots will make you dizzy on a big screen.
Mounting the tie rod in the front on spindles designed for rear mounting is a problem,when making turns, the Ackerman is backwards. My brother used to race gocarts and I could feel the cart slow down in corners when the geometry was wrong. With backwards ackerman, in a turn the wheels are fighting each other, Scrubbing the tires, not perpendicular to the center point of the turn radius. If you hit a bump in a turn the tire that has the most traction takes over and the front end will dart to one side. Mustang II and other most other front steer suspensions have Pivot points, geometry design locations to produce akerman geometry. The exception was 80's Ford trucks with front steer. ackerman was only close.

|thanks for the answers guys ill go over it till i like the way it rides any way i thought the tires were supposed to lean more like when u ride a bike not like a passenger car tire and im not sure what i have the toe in set at i just sorta eyeballed them making them in a straight line
I'm at 7 degrees on my Bucket and it's working great. I also have my toe-in at .5".
Where you mount your tie rod isn't the cause of your problems if all is setup correctly, just a matter of choice, mine is in front on a Total Performance kit, the only issue is bending it if you bump into things.
In my post about dragster linkage , The swing pivot location is above the REAR mount of the FRONT hairpin ..The swing pivot simulates normal steering gear location on a T bucket .
First "steers like crap" isn't very descriptive.
Second , Pretty hard to tell what's going on from a pic. of the beginnings of a car.
5-9* degrees neg caster is usable but, it depends on the setup of the rest of the car.
front suspension.
I was given an unfinished T bucket project with a tube front axle and Harley spokes like yours, Chassis needs radiator mount brackets, Trans cooler mounted then Paint and final assembley I wonder how it will handle ? ? There are things not easy to fix. Theoretically center lines are supposed to line up and some have off sets. Line thru king pin, line thru tire center, thru tire contact point on road . Line on road parallel to direction of travel thru contact point. Using different size tires and wheel offsets that the suspension was not designed for can cause problems.
angle of a dangle
yet 7° is correct.. my last 2 buckets were done that way and had not problems.. going down the road u can steer it with a finger. ck everything else.. don't forget 1/4" toe in too..
and bald tires
We built a 31 chrysler roadster with a 49 olds, hydro and olds rear end. Fastest thing in the vallley. A buddy found an almost new wrecked 55 olds that he swapped into his 46 merc, He gave us a ride and asked if we thought the merc was as fast as the roadster. blasted up to 110 on a back road, and as he slowed down to make a U turn a Bald front tire blew out., he had burned all the ruubber off all 4 tires, Our guardian angel was looking out for us. "Don't drive faster than your Guardian angel can fly ! "
long shackels
In the 50's My brother had long shackles on his 40 Ford coupe, the cheap way to lower it, He had to add a panhard bar to get the front end sway to stop . As Rwenuts noted, The shakles should be about a 45* angle in the completed car. engine installed, radiator installed etc.

During the Middle Kingdom, c. 2050-1785 BC, the kings continued the custom of having themselves buried in pyramids, as in the Old Kingdom. The last powerful king, Amenemhat III, had a pyramid built with a large, associated temple at Hawara in the fertile Fayum area. The temple is the so-called Labyrinth.
Amenemhat III's Pyramid at Hawara, c. 1842-1798 BC. Photo: Janne Klerk
The Labyrinth was constructed south of the pyramid, and the area to the east and north was used as a burial ground for the king's court. In the period of Roman rule in Egypt (30 BC - AD 200) the Labyrinth was finally destroyed and a town built on top of the ruins. The burial ground was also in use at this time.kt.
Flinders Petrie and the Labyrinth at Hawara
Around 450 BC the Greek historian Herodotus visited Hawara. He stated that it was the location of an impressive labyrinth with innumerable rooms and open courtyards. In 1888-89, more than 2000 years after Herodotus' visit, Petrie measured the extent of this Labyrinth's ruins. His investigation demonstrated that the Labyrinth had been an extensive temple complex, associated with the Pyramid of Amenemhat III (c. 1842-1798 BC). In addition he discovered a number of mummies from Egypt's Roman period c. 30 BC – AD 100 with painted portraits in the Roman style.
Petrie returned to Hawara in 1910-11. He discovered more mummies with portraits and made many architectural and sculptural discoveries, which helped to shed light on the original appearance of the Labyrinth. The Glyptotek holds a collection of fragments both architectural and sculptural from the Labyrinth. Other finds were distributed among various museums and collections in Europe and the USA.

|When we talk about the WebSphere Application Server Hypervisor Edition, we often get a lot of questions about whether or not SUSE Linux is the only flavor of the Linux operating system that we support. The short answer to that question is no.
|While it is true that we only deliver the WebSphere Application Server Hypervisor Edition with a SUSE Linux operating system, we will support the use of the virtual image packaging with Red Hat Enterprise Linux as the base operating system. The basic process consists of creating a virtual machine disk based off of a suitable Red Hat install, altering the OVF file in WebSphere Application Server Hypervisor Edition to reference this virtual disk instead of the SUSE virtual disk, and then packaging a new OVA file that contains all the same WebSphere virtual disks (profiles, binaries, IBM HTTP Server) but swaps out the Red Hat virtual disk for the SUSE virtual disk. We have done this many times in both the lab and field, and we offer services to users who need help in creating the image.
|Customers often ask if there is any difference in using Red Hat versus SUSE Linux. The answer is, of course, yes and no. The answer is yes in that users must bring their own licenses of Red Hat (SUSE Linux licenses are included in the WebSphere Application Server Hypervisor Edition), and users must support and maintain the Red Hat operating system on their own. However, once the image is built, there is absolutely no difference in the use of that image within WebSphere CloudBurst.
|Once built, users upload the image into their WebSphere CloudBurst catalog and it is available for use in pattern building just like any other image. I mentioned that users are responsible for updating and maintaining the image, well users can use WebSphere CloudBurst to create these updated images. When patches or updates are ready for the Red Hat operating system, the Extend/Capture facility available for images in WebSphere CloudBurst can be used to create a new custom Red Hat operating system with your desired fixes. This is all done without ever having to worry about actually recreating and repackaging the image again.
|I know seeing is believing, so with respect to the "sameness" of using a Red Hat version of the WebSphere Application Server Hypervisor Edition within WebSphere CloudBurst, I've created a short demo you can watch here. As always, let us know what you think and send any questions our way.

"Was able to have a secondary name added to this by the designers and adjusted spacing for me. It was beautiful! Perfect for our baptism celebration."
"I loved the pearl finish on the paper. The design is beautiful and classic. it conveyed the style of the event and our personal tastes."
"Trying to save money where I could for my son's baptism. These were the least expensive cards and still looked expensive. Beautiful and sturdy!"
"Beautiful, whimsical, original baptism invitation. High quality paper. Guests told me it was "very cute." Love it and received it earlier than expected."
"Every word of this card can be personalized, which I didn't realize at first! We used it to create invites for my son's baptism and it turned out beautifully, of superb quality. We received it more than a week sooner than the estimated date. We have gotten many compliments on it and would definitely recommend!"

text: I think what Rip was saying is that no matter how many points he scored coming off the bench; it couldn't overcome the hole they were starting in. Not that he couldn't produce. I have to agree with Lee on the proposed rotations. We need to find a way to break up Sheed and Dice on the floor. It is O.K. for spurts but we need to have the quickness that Max and Amir provide on the floor. I am hoping that if we stay with this line up that Curry somehow finds a way to sub early for Dice or Sheed with Max or AJ. He could keep the starting line up he has now to establish a rhythm but after the first 5-6 minutes; make that substitution. Keep Max, AJ and Kwame engaged because I think our success will depend on them a little. Not as 25-30 minute guys but as 5-10 minute change of pace players; especially when AI is back and coming off the bench. I would really like to see AJ and AI find some kind of chemistry on the second unit racing up and down the floor. I think they would compliment each other well because I am sure AJ would set screens and roll for AI all night long and be right with him on the fast breaks looking for a lob and dunk. It's all about putting the players on the floor that have the skills to play the same type of game. AI, AA and AJ want to run so let them while Stuck, Rip and Dice play the half court pick and pop game.


text: One of the 20th century's most iconic brands was born in 1968, when aspiring designer Calvin Klein wheeled a rack of impeccably tailored coats up New York's 7th Avenue to meet with department store buyers. By the mid 1970s, he was winning accolades for his clean, modern sportswear. A pioneer of designer denim and universal basics, the label rocketed to prominence in the 1980s and 90s, when it became as well known for its logo-centric branding and unforgettable ad campaigns as for its grunge-minimalist "heroin chic" aesthetic. Calvin Klein's current incarnation sees the brand exploring the intersection of sensuality and pristine minimalism. Perfected tailoring and casual separates in streamlined cuts advance an aesthetic of confidence, futurism, and understatement.

Stanton woman injured after crash on M-66
6:57 pm in Photo by Andy Kraft
SIDNEY TOWNSHIP — A Stanton woman was airlifted to Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital Friday afternoon after sustaining serious but nonlife-threatening injuries after a two-car crash on M-66, just north of Holland Lake Road.
Troopers from the Michigan State Police Lakeview post are investigating the accident, which occurred at 2:05 p.m. when a vehicle traveling northbound on M-66 lost control, crossed the center line and collided with a southbound vehicle.
A 38-year-old Stanton woman, the lone occupant of the southbound vehicle, was pinned in. M-66 was closed for nearly two hours while emergency crews worked to free the driver. She was then taken via AeroMed to Butterworth.
A 19-year-old male from Kentwood was the lone occupant of the northbound vehicle. He was treated and released at the scene. Alcohol and drugs are not believed to be a factor in the crash. The crash remains under investigation.
Findings will be forwarded to the Montcalm County Prosecutor's Office. Names of the driver's have not been released.
Assistance at the accident scene was provided by the Montcalm County Sheriff's Office, AeroMed, Sheridan Fire Department, Montcalm County Ambulance, Belts Towing and Safety First Towing.

Hmm... there are two different rifles in those pictures.
I confess I don't understand what's going on with the two-piece bolt. It looks awfully complex for blowback, but there's no obvious locking method.
Interesting, though.
This got as far as experimental prototypes with the British government. Perhaps someone can start with a cheap Sterling kit and use the grip and stock with a new receiver tube, bolt, and magwell and build one of these?
Check out all the photos at the British 308 Sterling prototype!

Hmm... there are two different rifles in those pictures.
I confess I don't understand what's going on with the two-piece bolt. It looks awfully complex for blowback, but there's no obvious locking method.
Interesting, though.
It reminds me somewhat of the 1st iteration of the German StG-45(M). Think I saw a roller in there.
Uuuhh... an H&K G3 trunnion OD is 1.532". And it's round.
You could make a new carrier to hold the G3 bolt head. but it might be practical to just take a G3 carrier, saw the forward extension off, and just turn it round in the lathe.
Apex has complete CETME bolt and carrier assemblies for $65 and trunnions for $30. You'd want the recoil spring too; Apex doesn't list them on their web site, but they're not expensive. You'd probably want a CETME or G3 barrel; they have flutes in the chamber to make it easier to extract the brass. A bunch of people have cut their own flutes. Apex has a new US-made G3 barrel for $175, but you can get used ones cheaper if you shop around.
That'd give you a proven delayed-blowback breeching system, firing pin and spring, and extractor. The bolt is intended to be hammer fired; it you wanted a striker setup you'd have to make your own carrier and use the CETME bolt head.
Come on. You know you want to do it...
That looks like a open bolt lever delayed blow back setup. Looks like two prototypes with differences in where the locking shoulder is in the receiver. Looks like something the Moon Nazis would use in Iron Sky.
Using a CETME bolt and trunnion converted for gas unlock with a air soft Mp44 shell would be neat.
how about a sterling pistol in 308....YA
"Courage is being scared to death - and saddling up anyway." - The Duke
That would be a cool project. The Bolt would be the hardest part i think. TRX seems to have the right idea. Is that Spring extra Long? Never touched a sterling spring before. I don't if the sterling Semi-auto FCG that apex sells would work or not.
From what pictures I have, it's long for a Sterling spring... but if you used CETME or G3 bits, you'd probably want to use the spring that matches those.Is that Spring extra Long? Never touched a sterling spring before.
Anyone want to venture a guess on the wall thickness for the tube? You'd probably wind up with something thicker than really necessary, in order to bore it to fit the front trunnion. The G3 trunnion sitting by my keyboard is 1.533" OD.
Both guns seem to be incomplete. There's no front sight, no sling swivel in the bracket on the end of the heat shield, and the lugs under the back of the receiver look like they're intended to hold a Thompson-style stock. The wings on top of the receiver appear to be for a rear sight.
The lever on the front of the receiver on the left side looks like a quick-detach lever for the barrel.
The right side breech opening almost looks like a casting... the unused small holes might be to mount an AR-style dust cover.
Hmm... the receiver diameters are different, and the fatter one has a box shape over the mag on the left side. The smaller one doesn't have any lugs to mount a stock.
I'm curious about why the tags are blacked out. There's no other information available, eh?

Is it "Heel Toe, Heel Toe, and Toe Heel?
How about "Curve feather" in Foxtrot? Are they the same?[ I don't unserstand why using Instant UBBcode]
-- James Marshall firstname.lastname@example.com http://www.astro.umd.edu/~marshall
Curve Feather in Foxtrot is HT, T, and TH.Hairpin in Waltz is H(not HT), HT, and TH. I always find it difficult to do Heel on the second step. Thanks.
Note the first step is not heel-toe as that would imply a rise and require the next step to be toe or toe-heel. That's not to say that the LF doesn't roll through from heel to toe as the next step is taken just as it would if walking normally, but there is no deliberate movement onto the toe.
I can't see a foxtrot hairpin in "popular variations" (oh for an alphabetical index!) but it does show natural hairpins in quickstep which would be tightly curved feathers.
* Natural Hairpin. Running Finish to Lock* Natural Turn. Back Lock, Runing Finish into Hairpin, Running Finish to Hairpin. Check to V.6* Natural Hairpin to "In and Out" Runs* Natural Hairpin. Hop Turns to Side Flicks. Quick Chasse
So what is a useful application of Hairpin? Like what steps do you dance leading into Hairpin and after? Thanks.
Keh asked about uses. I originally learnt the hairpin, like most figures, as part of a routine, but I find it useful when I need to take avoiding action. As such I don't have a particular preceding figure but if my LF is free with nowhere to go I might dance a hairpin. Follows could be 4-6 of reverse turn (feather finish in foxtrot)or possibly a reverse corte. If my RF is free I might dance the curved feather and maybe a hesitation change finish or open/closed impetus.

The Best Things I Read This Week
- Tagged in Social Media
- Leave a Comment
Here's my roundup of noteworthy digital communications (i.e. public relations, social media, content marketing and search) news from the last week.
The social layer became more influential this week when we learned that Google is now surfacing content from Facebook (limited, of course, to that which is publicly available), Quora and Gowalla. http://techcrunch.com/2011/04/27/google-realtime-quora-facebook/
Eerie predictions on the future of news consumption – and the economics of the news business – from 1994 came to light this week. This post from ReadWriteWeb includes a video which shows a tablet that isn't terribly far removed from the iPad. An interesting read on a variety of levels. http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/ipad_predicted_in_1994_video.php
Five words that signal selfish intent, and will get you unfollowed on Twitter in a New York minute. A reminder for brands, strategists and individuals alike. http://www.brandontwyford.com/?p=239
I think we can all agree that the folks at Coca-Cola are some of the brightest minds in marketing. That's why this week's story in HBR about Coke's increased attention on "expressions" by their audiences is so interesting and thought-provoking. http://blogs.hbr.org/cs/2011/04/coca-colas_marketing_shift_fro.html
Did you score some awesome pick up this week in a coveted publication? If so, well done! Now, how to go about thanking the reporter for the coverage and not look like a huge cheeseball in the process. http://www.ereleases.com/prfuel/thank-a-reporter-who-covered-your-press-release/
Okay, those were my favorites. What caught your eye this week?

Hey everyone! this is my first post! I'm a noob
I'm getting a Boba Fett costume soon. I am going to go for the ESB look, because I'm using the MR fett helmet (from ESB). I was wondering if you guys had some really good references for painting the armor, and jet pack, also if there are electronics availible for the light on the jet pack.
I'm also going to need some soft parts... gloves, boots, braids, cape, grith, flightsuit, belt, etc. I'm also going to need shin tools and boot spikes.
Anyway, I was wondering where I could get those and the price I should look at for those.
There is a flight suit (weathered) that someone offered to sell me for $200... I was wondering if it was a reasonable price to pay. Also, a vest (weathered) offered to me for $100. I was also a bit concerned as to the accuracy in color as it looked more kaki in color... more ROTJ ish. I thought the ESB was a bluish gray color. what color exacty is the flight suit sappose to be... it looks kind of bluish in the movies, but the one that is being offered to me looks like a grey.
anyway, any help would be great. Thanks

Factors Affecting Decision For A Distributed Advanced Cluster Computer System (DACCS) Kevin Kennedy, Redstone Arsenal
This presentation will include A Multi-DACCS comparison using the fluid dynamic flow solver Craft. The technical issues involving computer performance, the craft code computational methodolgy, the run time effects on multi processors, and the results for each test case will be addressed. In addition to the computer performance recommendations, the computer cost and future supportability factors will be presented.
HPCMP Benchmarking Activities Bill Ward, ERDC DSRC (High Performance Computing Modernization Program)
The objective of the Technology Insertion 2001 (TI-01) benchmark project was to provide the Department of Defense (DoD) High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP) with performance data on available high performance computing systems, the results of which would provide guidance for system procurement. To that end, a benchmark test package was designed, implemented, tested, and distributed to prospective vendors. The test package itself consists of synthetic tests to measure peak system performance, dedicated tests to measure peak single-application performance, and throughput tests to measure typical operational performance. User surveys and system utilization data were used to identify the most highly used codes as candidates for inclusion in the test package. Furthermore, the same utilization data were used to produce a system usage profile in order to construct two generic throughput tests representative of daily DSRC production workloads. Details of the design process and test package timing results from a number of Government-owned systems are presented.
Using Exact Solution Test Problems for System Validation, Algorithm Testing and Performance Tuning Lorie Liebrock, Liebrock-Hicks Research
Test problems with known exact solutions provide a solid foundation for many areas of development in computational science. They can be used to validate the correct operation of new computer systems and to track down errors in such systems. They provide a quantitative measure of the difference between algorithms, rather than the traditional approach of making a new algorithm match the results of the old accepted one. They provide a basis for comparing performance of different algorithms on different machines, with the results in terms of efficacy, which combines both runtime and accuracy measures. These uses of exact solution test problems will be discussed. Further, a few exact solution test problems will be presented that span the spectrum from simple integration to material dynamics.
The SMS Library for Portable Parallelism Guy Robinson & Kate Hedstrom, Arctic Region Supercomputing Center
Some classes of problems are computed using large rectangular arrays. For many of these, the optimal parallelization is to use domain decomposition into equal sized blocks. The Forecast System Laboratory (FSL) has devised a software library to ease the development of parallel programming for this class of problems. It sits as a software layer between the user code and the underlying MPI or SHMEM code. The goal is to allow portable code development with minimal overhead.
The SMS library has recently been ported to the IBM SP architecture and the ROMS ocean model has been recently ported to use SMS. The SMS library will be described as will our experiences with it on the IBM.
Multilevel Parallelism: Case Studies and Lessons Learned Daniel Duffy (speaker), Tom Oppe, Rebecca Fahey, and Mark Fahey, Computational Science and Engineering Group U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center DSRC Vicksburg, MS<p>A major focus of the Computational Science and Engineering (CS&E) Group at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) DoD Supercomputing Resource Center (DSRC) has been the migration of codes to the various platforms at the ERDC DSRC. Since each computer has unique properties that may be exploited in different ways, different parallel programming paradigms must be adopted in order to utilize the machines to their fullest potential. Recently, the combination of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) with OpenMP threads has resulted in multilevel parallel (MP) codes that run in a distributed environment while taking advantage of the shared memory within compute nodes. In many cases, the resulting MP programs offered a significant speedup compared with codes using MPI or OpenMP alone.
This presentation will discuss the benefits and pitfalls of multilevel parallelism using MPI combined with OpenMP threads. Simple representative codes along with three specific examples that the CS&E Group has worked on over the past year will be discussed. In particular, OpenMP directives have been included in the MPI versions of STWAVE, CGWAVE, and SARA-3D in order to significantly reduce the elapsed wall-clock time of the code.

Lodging and Local Attractions:
A Bug's Life, MPI, PVM, and MPI_PACKED
Local experience plus anecdotal evidence suggests that some message passing codes work fine on one platform and fall apart on others. Some synchronization errors might be hidden on a low latency platform, others might be hidden on a high latency platform, and there are issue of MPI implementation. For more, see the article, "Portable MPI?" in:
What follows is an example of a programming error that was hidden when the code was tested on the T3E, but quickly manifested itself on the SP. The bug, we think, is no longer with us.
The code was being converted from PVM to MPI. For correct operation, it required that pairs of messages sent from worker processes to a master process arrived as a pair.
The first version of the MPI code lacked the logic to guarantee this ordering, and it was possible for pairs of messages from different workers to get interleaved (or shuffled).
The pair of messages is:
- an offset into an array
- data to be stored in the array, offset by the value received in the first message
Here's the incorrect version. This snippet is from the code for the master process (the worker has a matching pair of MPI_Sends ):
MPI_Recv (&recv_datastart, 1, MPI_INT, MPI_ANY_SOURCE, RESULTS, MPI_COMM_WORLD, &status); MPI_Recv (data + recv_datastart, datasz, MPI_INT, MPI_ANY_SOURCE, RESULTS, MPI_COMM_WORLD, &status);
This shows the danger of using MPI_ANY_SOURCE . Here's the updated version, which uses one of the useful fields available in the MPI_Status structure. (The code for the workers did not require any change):
MPI_Recv (&recv_datastart, 1, MPI_INT, MPI_ANY_SOURCE, RESULTS, MPI_COMM_WORLD, &status); worker_pe = status.MPI_SOURCE; MPI_Recv (data + recv_datastart, datasz, MPI_INT, worker_pe, RESULTS, MPI_COMM_WORLD, &status);
It would be comforting to use different tags for the two types of messages. It doesn't appear to be necessary, though, because MPI guarantees that messages from one process will be received in the order sent, and, at this point in the logic, there are no other message types possible from any of the workers.
A look at the original PVM logic may prove interesting. Using the standard PVM paradigm, the pair of messages was packed up, sent, and received as a unit. Thus, there was no chance of interleaving. The code used pvm_recv .
" pvm_recv (1, -1) ", accepts a message with any tag from any task. The message is unpacked with subsequent invocations of pvm_upk . (The workers, of course, are doing two symmetric pvm_pk 's and a pvm_send .) Here's the logic used by the master process:
bufid = pvm_recv (-1, -1); if ((err = pvm_bufinfo (bufid, &bytes, &type, &worker_tid)) != PvmOk) printf ("Error: master: pvm_bufinfo: %d\n", err); pvm_upklong (&recv_datastart, 1, 1); pvm_upklong (data + recv_datastart, datasz, 1);
Seeing the original PVM code, it's clear that a direct translation from PVM was actually available. MPI provides functions for packing and unpacking messages and the MPI_PACKED type for sending and receiving packed messages.
Coded up this way, here is the master's side of this exchange:
MPI_Recv (packbuf, PACKBUFSZ, MPI_PACKED, MPI_ANY_SOURCE, RESULTS, MPI_COMM_WORLD, &status); packbuf_pos = 0; MPI_Unpack (packbuf, PACKBUFSZ, &packbuf_pos, &recv_datastart, 1, MPI_INT, MPI_COMM_WORLD); MPI_Unpack (packbuf, PACKBUFSZ, &packbuf_pos, data + recv_datastart, datasz, MPI_INT, MPI_COMM_WORLD);
Two other advantages to the packed approach would have been a 2-fold reduction in the number of messages sent, possibly less time spent waiting, and increased bandwidth (since larger messages get better bandwidth--to a point). A disadvantage is the overhead of packing and unpacking.
Another MPI approach is available, MPI_Types . But this brings us back to a motivation for sticking with MPI_Send and MPI_Recv in the first place: the observation that MPI codes can be difficult to port, and the more esoteric the functions used, the more likely you are to run into trouble.
Let us know if you have any little lessons like this to share, or if you have a better way to solve the problem, above. We welcome contributions!

How to Change Your Kerberos Passphrase
ARSC has instituted aging for kerberos passphrases. With this change, they will expire after six months, unless changed. Most people can use software already installed on their local workstation or PC.Unix/Linux:
Installed along with kinit, krlogin, etc., on your Unix or Linux host should be a copy of "kpasswd." Invoke it with your kerberos principal. For instance
$ kpasswd email@example.com
You will be prompted for your old passphrase, a new passcode from your SecurID card, and finally, the new desired passphrase (twice).Mac/PC:
Click the "change password" button in the Macintosh "Kerberos5 Configuration Manager" or the windows "KRB5.EXE" dialog windows.Notes: =======================================================
If you're behind a firewall, note that while port 88 must be opened up to use kinit, ktelnet, and krlogin, an additional port, 769, must be opened up to use kpasswd.
Misleading error messages:
Entering a bad passcode can result in a message like this:
kpasswd: Cannot establish a session with the Kerberos administrative server for realm ARSC.EDU.
kpasswd is not available under UNICOS or UNICOS/mk:
(Use your local workstation/PC)
Options for ARSC Users without SGI Accounts:
If, due to a firewall or other problem, you can't get your password changed from your local workstation/PC, we can fire up your ARSC SGI account (and inactivate it again when you're done). Contact:

Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ My favorite web site uses html frames. Can I capture the URL of a [[ frame, so I can send it to someone? Or do I have to recite every [[ link I follow? # Five readers responded: Nic Brummell, Evelyn Price, Derek # Bastille, Brad Chamberlain, and Rich Griswold. # # Here are all the solutions, with the (surprisingly little) # duplication removed: Netscape: ========= o Yes, if you're using netscape. Move the mouse arrow into the frame, right click on the mouse and drag down to "send page". Then, follow the usual routine for sending mail from your browser. o With Netscape, right click in the frame and select "View Frame Info". The browser allows you to copy the URL. o In Netscape: right-click on the frame and select "Open Frame in New Window." The URL of the frame will appear in netscape's location bar, from which it can be cut and pasted into other documents. Lynx: ===== o If you use a newer version of Lynx, you will be given a navigation menu that will allow you to view each frame individually. Select the frame you want the URL for, then hit the equals (=) key to view the frame info. IE: === o In IE: right-click on the frame and select "Properties." The URL of the frame will appear in the properties window that pops up and can be cut and pasted into other documents. general... ========== o Cut-n-paste the address from the page source. For example, www.wired.com uses frames. If you want to, say, get rid of the ads, do a 'View Source' in your favorite browser, copy the /news/nc_index.html src address and paste it onto the end of the main URL (some sites put the whole URL into the <frame src="" tag>). Et Voila! you now have just the URL you want. Example: URL: http://www.wired.com Page Source: <!-- Vignette StoryServer 5.0 Fri Aug 17 16:21:13 2001 --> <html> <head> <title>Wired News</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <frameset rows="1*,78" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" framespacing="0"> <frame src="/news/nc_index.html"> <frame src="/news/ot_ad.html" scrolling="NO"> </frameset> </html> After Cut-n-paste: http://www.wired.com/news/nc_index.html Q: Is RESHAPE broken on every system? Here's what it's supposed to do, from my documentation: "The RESHAPE intrinsic function constructs an array of a specified shape from the elements of a given array." Here's my test program: !-------------------------------------------------------------------- program shape_change implicit none real, dimension (30,40) :: X X = 1 print*, "Old shape: ", shape (X) X = reshape (X, (/ 20,60 /), (/ 0.0 /) ) print*, "New shape: ", shape (X) end !-------------------------------------------------------------------- And here's the result from an SP (Crays and SGIs give exactly the same result): ICEHAWK1$ xlf90 shape.f ** shape_change === End of Compilation 1 === 1501-510 Compilation successful for file shape.f.

It takes about 6-8 years to get your bees to the point that they can survive even with a moderate mite load, and learn how to control the mite load
I've been quiet on this subject as I seem to just make Finski angry. Hmmm. Sugar dusting for Varroa was developed by Dr. Kaman Fakhimzadeh, University of Helsinki, FINLAND. It's a double standard to lay all the foolishness on "stupid merri-cans."http://www.countryrubes.com/images/Powdered_sugar_dusting_in_bee_colonies_as_varroa_control_updated_9_09_09l.pdfIntroductionThe powdered sugar dusting is a non-chemical approach to the control of varroamite in the honeybee. The technique was developed by Dr. KamanFakhimzadeh, University of Helsinki, Finland in 2000. The method has proved tobe an effective means of reducing varroa mites in honeybee colonies and exerts asignificant impact on mite reproduction.Even more foolish to lay foolishness on a PhD working at a major University. The guy's name is all over the web.http://scientificbeekeeping.com/powdered-sugar-dusting%E2%80%94sweet-and-safe-but-does-it-really-work-part-1/http://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/artikel.php?ID=153532http://www.apitherapy.com/index.php/esl/Paises-api/Europe/FinlandTheory is the particle size causes the mites to lose grip. I suppose you could do it with Talcum powder or Flour if you didn't mind the taste.
Actually this is the first time I've heard of the larvae being harmed. I looked around and found this publication from the University of Nebraska. It states there's no harm to immature honeybees unless they're dusted with large amounts directly.http://digitalcommons.unl.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1184&context=entomologyfacpubHere's the original article by Dr. Kaman Fakhimzadeh describing his findings.http://www.apidologie.org/index.php?option=com_article&access=standard&Itemid=129&url=/articles/apido/abs/2001/02/fakhim/fakhim.htmlDirect link to the PDFhttp://www.apidologie.org/articles/apido/pdf/2001/02/fakhim.pdfAs a guess I could suppose the starch in commercial powdered sugar would cause problems. If you don't know how to make a powdered sugar without corn starch, here's a video. I found I just turn the blender to it's highest speed. It takes about a minute.How To Make Powdered SugarYou may ask your self, how in the world can this guy read this stuff? Beer...
Interesting because I read here on this forum that powdered sugar dusting suffocates the larvae. I dusted my hives for 2 years with powdered sugar and it worked really well, but stopped doing it for several reasons, one was the thought that the larvae were in harms way.What is the truth??Thanks for sharing all the informationAnnette

Living Trust Mills
Companies advertising "living trusts" sometimes misrepresent the advantages of living trusts. But the most serious problem is the misuse of the financial information sales persons obtain to prepare a living trust. Unfortunately, this information is used to sell unneeded annuities and various investments, most often to senior citizens.
Sales agents for these operations often misrepresent the disadvantages of seniors' current investments and the advantages of the investments the agents are selling. They may even make seniors believe their bank accounts are less safe than the annuities or other investments they want seniors to buy. To give themselves a cloak of legitimacy, these sales agents pretend to be experts in living trusts. In their solicitations, these sales agents often pose as expert financial or estate planners. They pass themselves off as a "trust advisor," "senior estate planner" or "paralegal," and schedule an initial appointment with seniors in their homes. Under the guise of helping set up or update a living trust, the sales agents find out about seniors' financial assets and investments. They sometimes work in assisted living centers, churches and other places where seniors gather, hooking elderly victims through free seminars and other sales presentations.
Seniors pay substantial sums of money to sales agents for living trusts, but sometimes, through fraud and deceit, the sales agents damage seniors' estate plans, and the security of their investments and life savings.
Usually, the sales agents schedule a home visit to explain the living trust and use a second visit to deliver a completed trust and have documents signed and notarized, and title of assets transferred to the trust. Typically, during the second visit, the agents go over the assets to be placed in the trust. The agents may have seniors sign documents that transfer the senior's CD, mutual fund accounts, or other investments to an annuity, or a so called "promissory note" or other investment. They use that review of seniors' investments to scare them into believing their investments are unsafe, and that by "moving" their money, they can earn higher interest with less risk. Frequently, there are substantial penalties for early withdrawal of the investment.
Planning an estate and choosing investments involve important legal, financial and personal decisions. If estate planning documents are not properly prepared or executed they can be invalid and cause lasting damage.
Following are tips to help consumers avoid becoming victims of living trust mills and their scams:
- Living trust mills' sales agents are usually not attorneys and are not experts in estate planning.
- Watch out for companies that sell trusts and also try to sell annuities or other investments.
- Sales agents may fail to disclose possible adverse tax consequences or early withdrawal penalties that may be incurred when transferring stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit or other investments to annuities.
- An annuity is not 100% safe, and only a portion is guaranteed by the state. Insurance companies can and do fail, and their assets may not be enough to pay the full value of their customers' investments.
- So called "promissory notes" are not insured by the FDIC or any other government agency and may be very risky. They may not be registered as securities with the state.
- Before consumers buy an annuity or any other investment, they should review it with people they know and trust, such as their financial or tax advisor, their attorney and trusted family members.
An attorney qualified in estate planning can help consumers decide if they need a living trust or other estate planning documents, or help them review an existing trust or will. To obtain a list of attorneys who are certified as estate planning specialists, and to receive other written information about estate planning and how to select an attorney, call the California State Bar's toll free number for seniors at 1-888-460-7364.
Consumers who feel they have been victimized by a living trust mill, or annuity or promissory note fraud, should report it to the Consumer Fraud Section of their local district attorney and to the California Department of Insurance. Consumers can also file complaints online at the Attorney General's website.
