What's the secret/trick to skim coating panels
It sounds like your skimming techniques are OK. It could be that your problem is not narrow low spots - they are actually a highs in the sheet metal. It could be that the metal is stretched and it needs to be dealt with before applying filler. If that's not the case. Then as suggested by other replies start with 36 grit on the DA then move up to 80DA. For the next stage, I would not use a Durablock or any flexible sanding tool to leveling the body fillers, you should be using a hard hand sanding 'board' that's the only way to level body fillers, in my shop. Change your sand paper often - keep it fresh so that it cuts down the highs and apply more filler in the lows, if needed. Remember that fillers and primers sand different, so you want to get the whole surface in the same substrate.
Any suggestions on how to know when I should shrink? I had some high spots. As I go more and more on this hood I am noticing more and more high spots. I think as I slap down on high spot it moves the metal and creates a high spot somewhere else; now all I'm doing is chasing high spots, which is just what ReflectImage was saying. My intuition is saying I should shrink my high spots now, rather than keep trying to slap them down. I'm not sure how they got there in the first place, or how the metal became stretched (if it is).
What's the secret/trick to skim coating panels
Before you use your Giant English Wheel Idea You need to determined why the high spots are moving all over the hood. You can spread fillers and skim coats all day long for seven days and seven nights and block and block. But you are not going to get what you want until you analysis what is going on with the metal. If you can't slap or dolly the highs down without chasing them all over - then best guess is stretched metal. It's hard to give any suggestions that could help you with your problem without seeing it first hand. If you are not sure what you are dealing with try to find someone who can help you figure out what the,.....is going on. Hoods are difficult, but as already suggested the right tool (either hand sanding board or a straight-line airboard) will help knock the highs without digging into the lows). Use a criss-cross sanding technique all the way up to the center of the hood that way you keep from creating a trough; if that's what is happening.
You must have missed it earlier but I AM using a hardboard...it's a 3M Hook-it II hardboard.
Josh, concerning the shrinking of the hood: There are two issues here. First you have to decide if shrinking is the best way. It is possible sometimes to run a slapper over an area and accomplish what you need. My favorite way is to move the slapper around the high spot while striking the slapper with another hammer. I do doubt this is going to work well on a flat hood that is going to be very springy But I would certainly try it.
If you determine you must shrink it, there is a UTUBE Visio "Dime size heat shrinking with oxy/acetylene" In this Vidio he uses a torch but the theory is the same with a stud gun shrinking tip.
I have never owned a stud gun so I can't elaborate on that.

Before you have no hair left at all ,Try this:
When a high spot pops up just look under the hood....Is there a half dollar size ,rubbery cushon there that the factory uses to fasten the outter skin to the inner structure?????
Usually this is the case and whats happening is your flexing the outer skin over that spot temporarily making it high and sanding the surronding area exageates it by making everything around it low....
Sometimes just the slightest touch is all thats needed for them to raise their ugly heads....
Try hot gluing some paint sticks to the under side to stiffen it all up (the more the better) when your all done just remove the paint sticks and nobody will ever know....
As for your bondo running out before you get to the end of the hood. Heres a couple things you can do that will help speed things up..instead of mixing your filler with your spreader (slooooow) use a paint stick and stir it up till its mixed fairly well THEN use your spreader ,all it'll take is a few pats and its done ...this will shave quite a few minutes off the mixing that you can add to the spreading...
instead off pulling the filler off the pallet every time just dump it ALL on the hood ,some where you start spreading ,some in the middle and some at the end.Think of how they dump dirt when they build a road they put piles of dirt every so many feet then as they bulldoze it and start running out of dirt theres another pile before it runs out... Right? same thing....
You sound like me when I first started...I had a tough time getting it right, I was never good enough to please myself .it took a lot of help and pointers from a lot of guys .....
theres two more things I almost forgot...sometimes the rubbery glue that bonds the outter skin to the inner structure comes undone allowing the skin to move freely causing even more trouble and you'll need to re glue the two pieces before you can get any decient results( again the more the better)...
AND the beauty of sanding the bondo while its soft is you can fill only the low spots without having to skim the whole panel every time, try it you'll see what I mean right off...
Last edited by deadbodyman; 04-24-2012 at 08:11 AM.
The Old Gunslinger does make very good point about making sure there is not something underneath the skin holding it up.
Back to "Metal Shrinking" If you only need minor shrinking or are unsure of yourself, leave the wet rag off of the procedure. I rarely use the wet rag. It works for sure but you will get shrinkage with or without it, just not as much. Also it will not temper the metal as much and make it stiff.
Also keep in mind. Shrinking when overdone, or improperly done, can create all kinds of other problems. It can pull waves across the panel and cause stress that can make low spots worse if you have not correctly "evaluated" the panel.
Good luck,
John L
What''s the secret/trick to skim coating
You are right I did miss when you dropped the Durablock and started using 3M hard board . If I am understanding where you at now, you have a low area that is running the length of the high center point of hood. And you have highs that you chase all over the hood. The paint stick idea might help stabilize the flexing metal and you may not have to shrink it. For the low area along the ridge, you might try running a strip of masking tape right down the center of the ridge. Then skim that whole line to fill in that low, bridging the low with your spreader. Sand by riding the tape and the high area - sanding down with a hard board with 36 or 40 leaving it little high and then change to 80 to blend in with surrounding area. I wouldn't move up to 220 until you are happy with your leveling process.
Ok, it looks like I'll stay away from shrinking right now.
Concerning DBM's points...when I get high spots I always look under the hood to see if there is something under there pushing it up, as was the case when I had it on my stand. I keep it on a large rolling table in the shop now so it sits on a flat surface. Under the worst high spot is the substructure. My inspection thus far hasn't been much more than lift the side of the hood up a few inches to peek under and see if there's any issues so I need to look more thoroughly.
Sometimes it's also difficult for me to tell if I'm actually feeling a high spot, or if it just feels like a high spot because I just rolled my hand through a low spot. The guide coat isn't revealing much....there's a spot where the primer keeps sanding off more and more, so it's got to be a high spot.
What it really comes down to at this point is with all the uneven filler, I can't tell what's truly what anymore; there's high and low spots that are due just to filler, and there are other spots that are probably due to metal.
I'm reaching the point now where I think it may be in my best interest to strip EVERYTHING back off the hood and start from square one where I can actually use all the advice given in this thread BEFORE I have the problem; that right there will eliminate half the problems I currently have. Take my file and identify all the flaws in the metal. Work them the best I can. Fill the low spots and cut before the filler sets up...I can spot fill really well so this is where I should use my strong points. As DBM pointed out, cutting before the filler sets up makes easier/better work of it, and since I've gone back to this way it's worked out real well for me. Then I reevaluate the condition of the hood. It may be that several coats and blocking with slick sand would have taken care of it. At the time I decided I should skim I didn't know/realize the slick sand was an option.
It's really ****ty that I have to essentially waste all that filler and time, but fortunately it's Platinum and not Rage, and costs about half as much as Rage.
I actually did this with both of my fenders. I spent an entire summer trying to get them perfect and was still never happy. I had them blocked in 2k and everything. I ended up stripping off all the filler, doing a million guide coats and using my bullseye pick of all things to bump out lots of little low spots here and there. In the end I used less filler the second time around and my application was better. I've since finished blocking the high build primer and they block completely off.
You guys have half a day to stop me because when I get home I'm on a mission
Tonight I went out and did some blocking with the intent that if I sanded everything off then so be it. Instead what happened is it ended up revealing the high spots really well. I took some pics for your guys' input on how to deal with these. I could tap them down, but since I can't get access to the skin underneath I can't put a dolly there to push up on a low spot. I also stuck the scoop on so you can see where it will be in relation to all this.
The little high spot with the dime sized bare metal spot is indeed near a spot where the skin is glued to the frame, though it's not directly over it. I'm only working on the passenger's side right now.
Josh, I suspect that you can lightly tap those two spots down with a body hammer. You shouldn't have to get a dolly behind it to just bring down the high spot a little. As I mentioned earlier I have no experience with a stud puller but as defined as those two spots are, heating them up to about a dime sized red spot, tapping the area down and letting it cool will also probably do the trick. as little as it appears it needs I doubt that it even needs to be quenched. You may, however, want to take a damp rag or sponge and cool the area enough to keep the heat from damaging the surrounding primer and filler.
Thanks for the picture. It looks to me like you are on your way to success.
John L
I'll probably try tapping first. The stud welder works great for shrinking by putting a concentrated, controlled, and consistent spot of heat on a panel, but I don't have an actual shrinking tip for it, I just use it without a stud in place. The problem is it needs bare metal for the entire contact surface.
I did find this picture of the hood after it was blocked post-epoxy.
That is the thing to do. The heat is going to mess up the work you have already done. Go gently. It will not need to come down as much as you may think. Check it with your straight edge. You will be able to tell when it is down. We will be looking forward to an update.
John L
On a side note, I ran out of my z-grip bondo (about 30.00 a gal) my supply guy came by but didnt have any left on the truck. He did have the rage so I thought I'd give it a try ,that is until he told me its about 50.00 a gal...theres no way in HELLO im going to spend 50 bucks on bondo I'll stick with my tried and true Z-grip and I hate spending 30.00 for IT. 35.00 for a qt of EZ sand polly putty...RIDICULOUS.I've been using this stuff for the last 25 yrs and really dont want or feel the need to switch brands but Evercoat (brand) used to be a good deal ,now there getting like 3-M, Dupont and everyone else....
I did get my gal of SPI 2k with the hardner 90.00 THATS a deal for the best...
Whaa,whaa,whaa,britch britch, britch...I feel better though...
All I can say about all your trouble is I know EXACTLY how you feel ,Sure it was 30 yrs ago but you never forget...Now add the pressure of getting it done in a timely fashon so the shop can make money and a boss looking over your shoulder reminding you hes losing money and you can understand how being stubburnd and hard headed and thick skinned are the exact qualities everyone hates but exactly the qualities it takes to get good and why we are how we are....this kind of work isnt ez and I believe you have what it takes to get there just remember doing a hood like this is THE hardest part of doing body work and when your done you'll have really accomplished something ....
If you feel starting over is what you need to do then go right ahead and do it..you already know your a lot better now then you were when you started.I've always called it ,Paying your dues...

Elsewhere this morning, the New York Federal Reserve's Empire State manufacturing index rose to 7.8 in June from negative 1.4 in the prior month, better than economists' predictions. However, most smaller metrics within the data were soft, with new orders, unfilled orders, shipping and labor-market conditions weakening in the month.

Fall foliage appears on track for a colorful New Hampshire show
By NANCY BEAN FOSTER
Union Leader Correspondent | September 22. 2013 9:58PM
The Mount Washington Valley is starting its annual metamorphosis from lush green to brilliant yellow, orange and red. (NANCY BEAN FOSTER PHOTO)
"It takes a real crystal ball to predict the fall colors," Brendan Prusik, Coos County forester for the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension said. "The biggest factor in determining color quality and the experience of color is the weather during the foliage season itself."
Leaves change color when the days get shorter and trees stop being producing chlorophyll for photosynthesis to make food, said Prusik. With the green chlorophyll gone, the leaves reveal their "true" colors.
"This year seems to be later than usual, but we're getting close now," Fleury said.Color is spreading in the Great North Woods and the White Mountains, but in the southern part of the state, there's still a lot of green.
"We are anticipating about 7.8 million people to come here between now and the end of November, and that would be about 2 percent higher than last year," she said.
"We've had people from Texas, Florida, even Europe who book their trips well in advance," said Leslie Switzer, assistant manager of the Chesterfield Inn in West Chesterfield. "People make their plans around foliage season."

OMG! Apparently Buchannan has little to no backing among the current leadership and can you imagine where the credibility of the ISU would end up with the IOC if the man directly responsible and suspended by the ISU for what is considered the biggest scandal in the history of the sport, is elected? Allowing Didier to even be considered is just inconceivable to me. According these sources, Gailhaguet is hard at work catering favor with the current council leadership. This is just outrageous on it's face. ISU members, WAKE UP and smell the manure being spread within Skating's Governing Body! I never, ever thought anyone would ever hear me say this; Maybe the ISU needs to allow Cinquanta to remain as President so as to allow for different candidates to politic to replace him in 2014. I am sick over this!

The argument that refusing to put down something that you've worked hard on is absurd. Although a government inspector may occasionally find a hive that needs to be destroyed, the odds of them doing so are vanishingly small unless they are out in your yard on a monthly basis. At that point the cost of the licensing scheme and government administrative costs would be huge. And the odds that the government inspector would spot a hive that needs to be destroyed when the owner would not have done it in the first place are even smaller. I have yet to see a licensing scheme that makes sense on a cost benefit analysis.I also don't buy the sentimental argument that a beekeeper wouldn't be willing to destroy a diseased hive. People put down their dogs, cats, horses, cows, sheep, fish, etc. all the time when they're sick and dying. The idea that you need a government official to invade your private property on a regular basis so that he / she can tell you to do something you already would have done (and charge you for the "privilege" on top of that) is both ridiculous and slightly depressing.
And the odds that the government inspector would spot a hive that needs to be destroyed when the owner would not have done it in the first place are even smaller.

BEE HEALTH UNDER THREATHer Majesty's Government is planning to reduce support of the Honeybee Health Programme from £1.25 million to just £1 million. This saving of just £250K or 20% of the budget, risks the decimation of the UK honeybee population and the £100 million plus contribution that these insects make to agriculture through their pollination activities.The Honeybee Health Programme, managed through the National Bee Unit of DEFRA, has been operating successfully for many years, helping the 30,000 beekeepers in England, 95% of whom operate on a small scale, to control diseases that can destroy honeybee colonies. The diseases include American Foul Brood, European Foul Brood and Varroosis. Since the arrival of Varroa (a parasitic mite that kills honeybee colonies) in this country in 1992, wild colonies of honeybees have died out and it is only beekeepers that maintain stocks of honeybees.The Government's own survey conducted by ADAS, published in 2001 showed that honeybees contribute at least £120 million to the agricultural economy of the country. This does not include the benefit to horticulture or to the environment as a whole. The survey underlined that the Honeybee Health Programme was very important in protecting our bee stocks from the introduction of disease from outside this country.In fact the next threat to honeybees, the Small Hive Beetle, has already been found in Portugal and other members states of the EU. This pest has devastated bee colonies in USA after being introduced from South Africa. It is only a matter of time before it arrives on our shores. When it does, beekeepers will need all the help they can get to defend their bees. The planned Government cuts mean that there will not be adequate professional support in the battle against the beetle.The British Beekeepers' Association (BBKA) fears that if these cuts are made, many small scale beekeepers will give-up keeping bees because they will not have access to local professional support should their bees become sick.
My inspection was free and I was happy to have a experienced hand there. He saw things that I would have missed and was able (again for free) test the varroa in my hive to see if it was pesticide resistant. I am never in favor of goverment but I got the feeling that this guy was a beepeeker first and a agent of the state second.
And the odds that the government inspector would spot a hive that needs to be destroyed when the owner would not have done it in the first place are even smaller.This is most definately not the case in the UK, see here:You'll see the incidence of diseaseclick this linkPerhaps US beekeepers are better trained at AFB and EFB diagnoises than in the UK, but I think it's unlikely.

Hey Everyone,
I'm new but not new, so I figured this would good be a good place to start.
So anyways all the cards that I have can't do injection, so I went to the local store (Frys) and picked up a WUSB54GC Linksys by Cisco. I cannot get it to come up like every guide I've ever read. iwconfig & ifconfig report nothing on rausb0.
Did they change something because it's now "Linksys by Cisco", is that where my problem lies? I did a few search, but found no mention of "Linksys by Cisco". On the back of it, it is listed as WUSB54GC ver. 3 if it helps at all.
Since it seems that my posts aren't being approved very quickly from the moderation queue... here are some updates. (Most of these I've tried with both BT3 & BT4) (Most of these I've also tried on three different computers, two laptops with onboard wifi, and a desktop with no wifi at all)
If I type in lsusb, it shows the linksys there (also tried multiple ports):
Bus 002: Device 004: ID 1737:0077 Linksys
I updated to the newest "enhanced" driver (rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.2) and that didn't help.
when I type ifconfig -a it is not shown at all. (nor is it shown in any other place).
If I type lsmod I do see a bit:
module / size / used / by
rt73usb / 28676 / 0 /
rt2x00usb / 13056 / 1 / rt73usb
rt2x00lib / 31232 / 2 / rt73usb, rt2x00usb
I've restarted the network ( /etc/init.d/networking restart) (and started it obviously). Plugged in and unplugged the wifi.
Also the USB Dongle doesn't at all look like any of the pictures I've seen for it. It's solid black with Cisco written on it largely, with Linksys next to it.

Cueto RHP
Dusty printed those lineup cards with Rolen batting 4th and damnit he's going to use them.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
What does the Cards lineup look like?
Please end the misery and move rolen to somewhere else in the order. Against a righty put Bruce there or in front of votto.
Cardinals Line-Up
Furcal SS, Beltran RF, Holliday LF, Berkman 1B, Freese 3B, Molina C, Jay CF, Descalso 2B, (Lohse P)
Looks like the A team to me. Let's hope Johnny brings it tonight!
Lohse can not continue to be as unhittable as he has been, so if Cueto can pitch well I've got a good feeling about this one.
Barry On Baseball Also blogging at Banished to the Pen.
At what point does Votto get so tired of getting nothing to hit that he brings up the issue with Dusty? Might be only way we see a change.

The holly's up, the house is all bright, The tree is ready, the candles alight; Rejoice and be glad, all children tonight.
"Hail him who saves you by his grace,
and crown him Lord of all."
I love that little tree. Did you buy it or going to? Did you find it local? I had a small little branch tree but it is now rusted under the tape. I could probably take it apart but know that I won't get to it. Been looking for one and haven't seen any except the plastic ones that are clear. I have eggs I purchased a few years ago at Michael's after Easter.
Been looking for a white, cream and brown bunnies but haven't found any except for $40 ones and I am not spending that. Need to go check in some garden centers and see if they have any.
See the finished tree:
"Hail him who saves you by his grace,
and crown him Lord of all."

A major addition was planned for this dark, claustrophobic 1950s ranch house near Seattle. But when budget forced a choice between square footage and highly crafted interiors, the clients chose the latter. Architect Nils C. Finne added glass and borrowed space from a storage area, turning a dated kitchen into a generously proportioned place to cook, eat, and enjoy the view.
It feels like a new kitchen, although you can trace the bones of the old one. The hemlock ceilings are original, but Finne exposed a steel beam that had been boxed out and inserted a roof monitor, spanning the dining and living areas, with motorized operators that allow for venting. The slightly expanded footprint meant patching in new sections of terrazzo floor. "We started off thinking we'd match the existing terrazzo, but that stone and cement matrix was no longer available," Finne explains. "I shifted gears and said, rather than be close, let's have a contrast." The new rectangle of espresso-colored terrazzo anchors the open kitchen. It's also a foil for the pale cherry cabinetry, which Finne designed. Some of the panels are smooth resin inset with natural grasses, others have a CNC-milled texture like woven wood.
Custom-fabricated surfaces are a feast for the senses. A 30-foot-long wall is clad in umber-colored steel panels that bend around the wall's undulations, and the bar's 1-inch-thick cast glass, lit from below, adds sparkle to the room's muted hues. "The intensity of the detailing adds a whole new level to the house," Finne says.

What is the long-term outlook for those with Guillain-Barré syndrome?
Guillain-Barré syndrome can be a devastating disorder because of its sudden and unexpected onset. In addition, recovery is not necessarily quick. As noted above, patients usually reach the point of greatest weakness or paralysis days or weeks after the first symptoms occur. Symptoms then stabilize at this level for a period of days, weeks, or, sometimes, months. The recovery period may be as little as a few weeks or as long as a few years. About 30 percent of those with Guillain-Barré still have a residual weakness after 3 years. About 3 percent may suffer a relapse of muscle weakness and tingling sensations many years after the initial attack.
Guillain-Barré syndrome patients face not only physical difficulties, but emotionally painful periods as well. It is often extremely difficult for patients to adjust to sudden paralysis and dependence on others for help with routine daily activities. Patients sometimes need psychological counseling to help them adapt.
What research is being done on Guillain-Barré syndrome?
Scientists are concentrating on finding new treatments and refining existing ones. Scientists are also looking at the workings of the immune system to find which cells are responsible for beginning and carrying out the attack on the nervous system. The fact that so many cases of Guillain-Barré begin after a viral or bacterial infection suggests that certain characteristics of some viruses and bacteria may activate the immune system inappropriately. Investigators are searching for those characteristics. Certain proteins or peptides in viruses and bacteria may be the same as those found in myelin, and the generation of antibodies to neutralize the invading viruses or bacteria could trigger the attack on the myelin sheath. As noted previously, neurological scientists, immunologists, virologists, and pharmacologists are all working collaboratively to learn how to prevent this disorder and to make better therapies available when it strikes.

Here's my config:
ubuntu 11.10
+ "KinoPoisk scraper" from seppius-xbmc-repo version 1.0.45 - the movie scraper in Russian.
it didn't work out-of-the-box (after new scraper installation), so google offered me to try to change the <moviesdefault> key in guisettings.xml
cat /home/xbmc/.xbmc/userdata/guisettings.xml | grep moviesdefault
It didn't help. When I ask XBMC to scrap some movie info I see in logs (<loglevel> is 1):
DEBUG: FindMovie: Searching for 'Городской ковбой 1980' using The MovieDB scraper (path: '/home/xbmc/.xbmc/addons/metadata.themoviedb.org', content: 'movies', version: '3.2.0')
DEBUG: scraper: GetSearchResults returned <results></results>
So it doesn't even trying to request through that Kinopoisk scraper. Although the guys on the Russian support forum use it with no problem (but there're no posts about using it together with XBMC 11, maybe something has changed in the last update?).
To make sure it's not something wrong with the scraper itself, I also tried to install (and than force usage of the new scraper in <moviesdefault>) a few other scrapers - no result. It keeps asking ONLY themoviedb.org
Then I tried to "kill" the TMDb (as it's not possible to just disable it in UI) by `chmod a-r -R` on its add-on folder. The result: when I ask to scrap movie info XBMC says: "the server is unavailable" and again - no sight of any alternative scrapers in logs.
Any thoughts how to convince the beast to use MY scrapers?

Sheryl Crow
Sheryl Crow says being a "cancer-survivor" made her change her diet.
The 55-year-old singer was diagnosed with breast cancer 10 years ago and says it made her re-evaluate what she was eating and putting in her body and she now ensure she eats lots of high omega fats that are found in oily fish.
The musician, who lives in Nashville, Tennessee, told Us Weekly magazine: "I'm a cancer survivor, and I started learning about what I was eating. So I'm uber into high-omega foods."
In 2012, doctors also discovered Sheryl had a benign brain tumor and she has scans every two years to check on the growth.
She's a nine-time Grammy winner and the proud mama of two adopted boys so life is pretty rich (and busy) for Sheryl Crow.
The "If It Makes You Happy" songstress covers the August 2014 issue of Good Housekeeping magazine and in her interview she opens up about her personal life.
Stepping out to support a great cause, Hollywood lovelies attended the Happy Hearts Fund Gala supporting the Indian Ocean tsunami tribute on Thursday (June 19).
Attendees included the stunning Naomi Watts, who looked radiant in a white jumpsuit as she took the stage to give a speech.
Helping honor their talented colleagues, Carrie Underwood and Sheryl Crow attended the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Thursday (April 10).
This year's inductees include Peter Gabriel, Daryl Hall and John Oates, KISS, Nirvana, Linda Ronstadt, and Cat Stevens.
She's always loved a good party, and Sheryl Crow came ready to have fun as she arrived at the 49th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards this evening (April 6).
Showing off her figure in an embellished black frock, the "Real Gone" singer was red carpet-ready as she smiled confidently for the shutterbugs.
Gearing up for a night packed with almost as many stars as the Golden Globes, Jay Leno hit the stage one final time to bid a tear-filled farewell to friends and fans of "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."
Amid the host of celebrities to hop up on stage with the 22-year host of the iconic talk show, Billy Crystal, Garth Brooks, Sheryl Crow, Jack Black and Oprah Winfrey all showed up to sing him their very own cover of "So Long Farewell!"
It was a star-studded affair last night (December 15) as Hugh Jackman hosted the 2013 TNT Christmas in Washington event.
The "Les Miserables" hunk hammed it up for the audience at The National Building Museum while President Barack Obama smiled onstage with his wife Michelle and daughters Malia and Sasha.
Standing out in a bright pink gown, Sheryl Crow worked her red carpet magic at the 2013 American Country Awards tonight (December 10).
All gussied up in designer duds, the "All I Wanna Do" stunner made sure to spend a few minutes mingling with her fellow celebrities and posing for photos before scurrying into the Mandalay Bay venue in Sin City.
It's country music's biggest night and there were definitely plenty of moments to remember from the 2013 CMA Awards held at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday (November 6).
Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley did an incredible job hosting the evening's big event, entertaining the audience with a number of jokes and musical skits.
She always knows how to make an entrance, and earlier tonight (November 6) Sheryl Crow had everyone's full attention as she arrived at the 2013 CMA Awards.
It seems the hours of primping definitely paid off as the "Soak Up the Sun" star charmed the fans and shutterbugs with her gorgeous getup ahead of the big Bridgestone Arena event.

Esther Duflo:
Social experiments to fight poverty
Alleviating poverty is more guesswork than science, and lack of data on aid's impact raises questions about how to provide it. But Clark Medal-winner Esther Duflo says it's possible to know which development efforts help and which hurt — by testing solutions with randomized trials.

HARDIN COUNTY — Hardin Fiscal Court on Tuesday approved the first reading of an illicit discharge ordinance that, if approved, will allow the county's engineering department to inspect facilities and install monitoring and surveillance equipment to keep track of discharges.
An illicit discharge is defined as any discharge into the stormwater system that is not purely stormwater, and County Engineer Vicki Brackett Meredith said such discharges can contain anything from heavy metals and toxins to bacteria.
However, some discharges are exempt under the ordinance, such as water line flushing and other potable water sources, landscape irrigation and lawn watering, crawl space pumps, air conditioning condensation, non-commercial washing of vehicles and firefighting activities.
Penalties for violating the ordinance can carry penalties of a fine ranging from $10 to $500 for each offense and 12 months in jail if convicted. The county also may suspend access of the stormwater system to those who violate the ordinance.

SGI Origin Introduction
Here are some highlights from the Origin2000/Origin3000 training held at ARSC this week:
Although the Origin has physically distributed memory, it's a shared-memory system. The OS maps memory across the entire multiprocessor system and attempts to store data near the processors which are using it and to otherwise minimize NUMA effects. Thus, you can program the Origin using shared-memory models, using OpenMP or compiler auto-parallelization (like the SV1). However, you can also program it using distributed-memory models, using MPI, PVM, or SHMEM (like the T3E). For the best scalability, treat the Origin as a distributed memory system.
Default compiler optimization level on Origins is only zero. You should normally compile with -O2 or at least -O1.
As on the T3E, single CPU-optimization should be your first step in assessing/improving performance. In particular, use the cache effectively. The compiler will try to help with this (if you over-ride the default optimization level of 0, that is), but you might have to help. The most basic advice: stick with stride 1 array access.>
A nice example of cache optimization in a real user code appears in the article "Another Cache Related Example," in T3D Newsletter #76:
The cache lines on the R10000 and R12000 are 32 bytes (L1 cache) and 128 bytes (L2 cache).
Memory locality can become a big issue if caching is poor. The OS can allocate pages of your program's memory anywhere on the Origin, but it attempts to place them near the processor using them. Why is this important? The latency to access "home" memory is about 75 clock periods (cp). Add about 75 cp to make one router hop to "non-home" memory, and add another 25 cp per additional router hop.
The OS's default algorithm for allocating memory is called "first-touch". A given page of memory will be allocated near the first processor to access, or "touch," it. This is great for serial programs and MPI programs, in which every process has it's own private data. It's not always good for OpenMP or auto-MP programs in which some master process might initialize, and thus, "touch" first, entire arrays, in advance of the first parallel region. You can force the OS to use a different memory placement policy (like "round-robin"), or you might try an algorithm which considers the first touch policy (like initializing in parallel).
As on the Crays, tools are available to help analyze your code. In particular:
- timex --
- time your run
- perfex --
- dump counter info for entire run (or instrumented sections). See the article on "perfex" in:
- Speed Shop --
- extensive, detailed performance analysis. (See: "man speedshop".)
- Debugger --
- The debugger ("cvd") works on multiprocess programs and includes performance analysis tools in addition to the expected debugging tools. (See: "man cvd".)
SGI's online manuals tend to be well-written and are often more informative than man pages. Search for a given topic at:

Quick-Tip Q & A
A: [[ Here's one for the Fortran 90 programmers out there. [[ [[ This situation appeared when porting a good-sized code from the Cray [[ SV1 to an Origin 3000. It's been mightily condensed, but the program [[ below duplicates the problem and compiler error message. [[ [[ What's wrong on the Origin (or with the code) and how would you [[ fix it? [[ ================== [[ selected_kinds.f ==================================================== [[ ================== [[ MODULE SELECTED_KINDS [[ [[ IMPLICIT NONE [[ [[ ! The kind of this data type must represent integer values N, [[ ! where -10**16 < N < 10**16 [[ [[ INTEGER, PARAMETER :: [[ & TYPE_INT = SELECTED_INT_KIND (16) [[ [[ END MODULE SELECTED_KINDS [[ ============== [[ interfaces.h ======================================================== [[ ============== [[ INTERFACE INCR [[ FUNCTION INCR (BASE, I) [[ USE SELECTED_KINDS [[ INTEGER(TYPE_INT), INTENT(INOUT) :: BASE [[ INTEGER(TYPE_INT), INTENT(IN) :: I [[ INTEGER(TYPE_INT) :: INCR [[ END FUNCTION INCR [[ END INTERFACE INCR [[ ======== [[ incr.f ============================================================== [[ ======== [[ FUNCTION INCR (BASE, I) [[ USE SELECTED_KINDS [[ [[ INTEGER(TYPE_INT), INTENT(INOUT) :: BASE [[ INTEGER(TYPE_INT), INTENT(IN) :: I [[ INTEGER(TYPE_INT) :: INCR [[ [[ BASE = BASE + I [[ INCR = BASE [[ [[ END FUNCTION INCR [[ ===== [[ t.f ================================================================= [[ ===== [[ PROGRAM TEST [[ USE SELECTED_KINDS [[ IMPLICIT NONE [[ INCLUDE 'interfaces.h' [[ [[ INTEGER(TYPE_INT), SAVE :: J = 0 [[ [[ PRINT*, "TYPE_INT==", TYPE_INT [[ PRINT*, "Incremented J : ", INCR (J, 1) [[ [[ END PROGRAM TEST [[ ========== [[ makefile ============================================================ [[ ========== [[ all: [[ f90 -c selected_kinds.f [[ f90 -c incr.f [[ f90 -o t t.f incr.o selected_kinds.o [[ [[ -------------------------- [[ Make and run on Cray SV1 -------------------------------------------- [[ -------------------------- [[ chilkoot$ make [[ f90 -c selected_kinds.f [[ f90 -c incr.f [[ f90 -o t t.f incr.o selected_kinds.o [[ chilkoot$ ./t [[ TYPE_INT== 8 [[ Incremented J : 1 [[ chilkoot$ [[ [[ ------------------------------------------- [[ Failed make and explain on SGI Origin 3000 ---------------------------- [[ ------------------------------------------- [[ sard$ make [[ f90 -c selected_kinds.f [[ f90 -c incr.f [[ f90 -o t t.f incr.o selected_kinds.o [[ [[ print*, "Incremented j : ", incr (j, 1) [[ ^ [[ f90-389 f90: ERROR TEST, File = t.f, Line = 9, Column = 35 [[ No specific match can be found for the generic subprogram call "INCR". [[ [[ f90: MIPSpro Fortran 90 Version 7.3 (f61) Thu Feb 22, 2001 11:35:42 [[ f90: 21 source lines [[ f90: 1 Error(s), 0 Warning(s), 0 Other message(s), 0 ANSI(s) [[ cf90: "explain cf90-message number" gives more information about each message [[ *** Error code 2 (bu21) [[ [[ [[ sard$ explain cf90-389 [[ Error : No specific match can be found for the generic subprogram call "%s". [[ [[ A function or subroutine call which invokes the name of a generic [[ interface does not match any specific subprogram interfaces in the [[ generic interface block. All dummy arguments that do not have the [[ OPTIONAL attribute must match exactly all corresponding actual arguments [[ in type, kind type, and rank. From Trey White of ORNL ============================================ > PRINT*, "Incremented J : ", INCR (J, 1) The kind of "1" is default "INTEGER", which is probably "4" on the Origin. "INCR" is expecting a kind that can handle 16 digits of precision, like "8". Since the default "INTEGER" is "8" on the Cray, it works. To fix it, use "INCR (J, 1_TYPE_INT)" to indicate the constant "1" of kind "TYPE_INT". Technically, you should also use "0_TYPE_INT" in the "PARAMETER" statement. From Alan Wallcraft of NAVO: ============================================ The error message is unclear because the named interface block defines a generic function. The normal use of a generic function is to have different actual functions called based on the types used, e.g. INTERFACE INCR FUNCTION INCR_INT (BASE, I) USE SELECTED_KINDS INTEGER(TYPE_INT), INTENT(INOUT) :: BASE INTEGER(TYPE_INT), INTENT(IN) :: I INTEGER(TYPE_INT) :: INCR_INT END FUNCTION INCR_INT FUNCTION INCR_INTEGER (BASE, I) INTEGER, INTENT(INOUT) :: BASE INTEGER, INTENT(IN) :: I INTEGER :: INCR_INTEGER END FUNCTION INCR_INTEGER END INTERFACE INCR Then (assuming INCR_INT and INCR_INTEGER exist) the following will work: PROGRAM TEST USE SELECTED_KINDS IMPLICIT NONE INCLUDE 'interfaces.h' INTEGER(TYPE_INT), SAVE :: J = 0 INTEGER, SAVE :: K = 0 PRINT*, "TYPE_INT==", TYPE_INT PRINT*, "Incremented J : ", INCR (J, 1_TYPE_INT) PRINT*, "Incremented K : ", INCR (K, 1) END PROGRAM TEST Note that Incrementing J and K are invoking different actual functions via the same generic function. In the example, the interface block only contains one actual function so there is no need to define a generic function. Removing the name from the interface block removes the generic function: INTERFACE FUNCTION INCR (BASE, I) USE SELECTED_KINDS INTEGER(TYPE_INT), INTENT(INOUT) :: BASE INTEGER(TYPE_INT), INTENT(IN) :: I INTEGER(TYPE_INT) :: INCR END FUNCTION INCR END INTERFACE Now the error message (on a Sun) is clearer: PRINT*, "Incremented J : ", INCR (J, 1) ^ "t.f", Line = 12, Column = 44: ERROR: The kind (4) of this actual argument does not match that of its associated dummy argument (8). The problem is that the constant 1 has default integer kind (32-bit) but INTEGER(TYPE_INT) is 64-bits. This can be fixed by using a constant of type INTEGER(TYPE_INT) as follows: PRINT*, "Incremented J : ", INCR (J, 1_TYPE_INT) This will work with either the original (named) interface block or the modified (unnamed) version. Passing constants through argument lists can be dangerous, but in this case passing a constant is known to be safe because the corresponding dummy argument has INTENT(IN). The reason that the error did not happen on the SV1 is that its default integer kind is 64-bits. It is actually a good feature of Fortran 90 that this bug caused a compile-time error. Passing a INTEGER*4 in place of an INTEGER*8 in Fortran 77 won't be detected at compiler time and can cause very strange run time errors. Q: What's up with this? chilkoot% rm ldat.199801.* Arguments too long. chilkoot% chilkoot% ls ldat.199801.* Arguments too long.

Dear Reader,
This is my first entry to the Charity Navigator blog. I hope it will be one of many going forward. I guess there is not much need to introduce myself since this blog site has already announced my appointment and general background information. I just want to start out by saying that I consider it a great honor to be here. Over the past couple of weeks I have developed a deepening appreciation for the wonderful work this agency does. The staff are very thoughtful people who do a fantastic job with the resources available to them. As our Board Co-Chair Pat Dugan would say, I look forward to our "doing great things" together.

As a lawyer in private practice, he litigated both criminal and civil cases in federal and state courts. He also represented principally criminal defendants in several hundred appeals. He represented the defendant in the case of People v. Barraza in which the California Supreme Court changed the test for entrapment in California courts. He also represented the California Retailers Association and former State Senator Newton Russell in the case of In re Deborah C. where the California Supreme Court held that Miranda warnings need not be given by store security guards.
On October 4, 1983, at the age of 35, he was appointed to the Los Angeles Municipal Court. In 1984, he was challenged for his seat on the municipal court in the primary election. He won the June primary election after securing endorsements from virtually every side of the political spectrum and retained his seat with 67.18 percent of the vote. In 1984 and 1985, he was appointed by Governor George Deukmejian to serve as the judicial representative to the Intergovernmental Advisory Council on Alcohol, Drugs, and Traffic Safety. On March 1, 1985, at the age of 38, he was appointed to the Los Angeles Superior Court. While on that court, he was the first judge to serve in the night court project where felony cases were tried during the late afternoon and evening as part of an effort to reduce county jail crowding. Later, after serving one year as a law and motion civil judge, he was 1 of 25 civil judges assigned to the trial court delay reduction project. This program assigned civil cases to judges and gave them the responsibility of insuring that the lawsuits were promptly resolved. At the commencement of the program, civil cases were routinely taking five years to resolve. In then Judge Turner's court, virtually all new cases were resolved within one year rather than the normal five years that it had previously taken.
Appointed to Division Five of the Court of Appeal for the Second Appellate District by Governor George Deukmejian, he was confirmed by the Commission on Judicial Appointments as an Associate Justice and took office on November 2, 1989. He was elevated to the position of Presiding Justice and after confirmation by the Commission on Judicial Appointments, took office on January 6, 1991. For six years he served as the Assistant Administrative Presiding Justice and as a Presiding Justice has sat by assignment on the California Supreme Court on seven occasions. He is currently a member of the Second Appellate District Executive Committee. He is a member of the California Judges Association and has served on that group's civil law and procedure, criminal law, and election committees. On four separate occasions, he has been assigned by the California Supreme Court to act as a Special Master in hearings ordered by the Commission on Judicial Performance. He has sat by assignment as a justice pro tempore on the California Supreme Court.
He has delivered commencement addresses at the University of West Los Angeles School of Law and the Southern California Institute of Law School in Santa Barbara. He has spoken a two commencement ceremonies at California State University at Long Beach. He has received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the University of West Los Angeles School of Law.

He is the coauthor of the book California Practice Guide: Civil Procedure Before Trial Statutes of Limitations.
He is a regular speaker to judges and court staff as part of continuing education programs presented by the Center for Judicial Education and Research on criminal and civil law. Further, he has been an instructor for the joint venture of the University of California and the State Bar of California entitled Continuing Education of the Bar and has spoken on the following topics: the Civil Discovery Act of 1986 (1987); written discovery (1987); civil trial fundamentals (1989); effective direct and cross-examination (1989, 1991, 1996); Proposition 115 (1990); criminal law update (1990-1999); criminal appeals (1996); and criminal law ethics (1996).

I got a sip of this Grenache dominated blend at a tasting yesterday at Rob. Totally different from the generous and sweet fruited 2007 from the same estate, it showed an unusually fresh and fragrant bouquet and quite savoury (even sour compared to 07) fresh fruit with minerality and marked acidity and a wet leather tang on a medium but not thin body; refreshing and enjoyable 15/20++ QPR.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
scott liggett did this swap on his 65/66
if you are making use of facebook..
look him up and friend him and ask about what he used, and how he likes it, it's been on his car for a good 8-12 months now, and it's his daily driver, in la traffic..
iirc it used chevelle parts, and was fairly cheap.. and easy to find parts..
if you ask for his input , as thats better than any of us, as he did the swap and lives with it daily, tell him mark furgal aka gearheadslife sent you..
good luck
|Thanks 66GMC, I will look at some kits and ensure they have that caliper type. My initial concern with the cheaper kits (less than $300.00) was low grade components and the cheapest caliper/rotor combination possible. I like to stay with as much OEM components as possible and this fits that desire.
Disc brakes (especially on the front) will make a huge difference over drum ... use good quality pads and rotors, and your brake fade concerns will go away.
GM used those 728A disc brake pads and 2-15/16" diameter single-piston calipers on a wide variety of applications including 1971-78 1-ton (8400 GVW) G-30/3500 Vans ... so they should be more than adequate.
NAPA 242-2000, 242-2001 calipers
728A pads are available in several different "grades", everything from organic to "severe duty".
They even used those same pads on the same application with the 10,000 GVW, but used a larger-bore (3-3/8") single-piston caliper.
This "interchangabilty aspect" does cause me a little concern, when it comes to the "value-conscious consumer" type that would throw a set of cheap organic pads on a 10,000 pounder.
|There are no plans to road race this tank. Brake fade has been an issue, so the disc brake concept came to mind. The drums stop her fine, just don't like the fade feeling after hard braking in traffic. I will check out the site you listed and reconsider selected kits. I tend not to stray to far from the OEM parts and systems, hence the Corvette concept. Makes it easier to get parts for as well.
are you going to road race this tank?
if no to both.. then your comments on the single piston and 11" disc are off kilter
g.m. used 11" rotors on all b bodys up into the 90's
only ones that got 12" was the tow package and taxi/cop cars..
it worked just fine on millions of these cars..
a well balanced 11" disc and rear drum will out stop an unbalanced vette disc and stock rear drum every day of the week..
you'll get better stop'n with lighter wheel package than ,that fancy vette parts..
good luck.. but remember g.m. used what YOU WON'T for 25+ years with no problems in normal use..
unless you are going to race this on a roadrace or autocross.. what you want is nothing more than eye candy..
and at that point go straight to wilwood and get 13" front and 12" rear disc kits. and a set of light weight wheels (3 pieces) $$$$ and have a car that put your face on the glass...
adding better brakes is useless unless you plan on better wheel package and tires that grip .. allong with better springs/shocks/aint roll bars,bushings,etc..
again good luck
remember your tank weight less than a 2010 camaro.. what you want and what it needs are two different things
Kinda depends on year, I think.
I sold a friend of mine (1970 Impala) a kit #6770CBK-S that I got from CPP
They mention a part #6568SP for a 1965/68 reconditioned stock spindle ... but didn't have anything available at that time. Customer made a trip to a local boneyard and was able to come up with them ... and everthing else worked fine.
I can't seem to find out what diameter the rotors in the above kit are, but there is a tech article that says you can use 11, 12, or 13" rotors on stock spindles. They also say that the 13" ones are designed to fit Chevy 1/2 tons with "PBR" calipers. ??? Read the article and see if it makes sense to you. It might be worth a call to the tech line, and ask them to explaim and confirm all of this for YOUR year.
Front Disc Brakes on B-Body 65-70 Chevy Impala's
Hi all, I plan on installing a set of front disc brakes on my 68 Impala. I've looked at the conversion kits and will not use them on a full size Chevy B-Body. Just not sufficient enough with a small diameter rotor and single piston caliper that is used on mid size vehicles. I am wondering if anyone has used the Corvette disc brake set up on these cars and if they had any issues with that idea. Based on my research, the 68 Impala disc brake option (rare that it is) used the Corvette spindle knuckle and caliper. Not sure if they used the hub or any other Corvette parts. Thanks for any info and first hand experience you can share.
