With these simple tools and techniques, you can inexpensively fabricate almost any interior or engine close-out panel
It takes a lot of different competencies to build a hot rod from the ground up—and few people have all of them. Even the top car builders farm out stuff like engines, transmissions, interiors, and even paintwork. Sharing some of the workload with experts who are more familiar is not only a wise move, it can also save you time and money by not having to do things twice. Fabricating your own interior and engine bay close-out panels, however, is not one of them. In fact, making your own panels is not only easy and fun, there's very little downside if you mess them up, primarily because the tools and material needed to become proficient are inexpensive. Moreover, interior and engine panels are highly visible, and taking the time to build them right will pay big dividends when friends and fans start looking your car over in the pit area, paddock, or show field.
Close-out panels can be made of aluminum, or mild steel, and because welding isn't involved you are only limited to the materials at hand. Besides the ordinary tools like a tape measure, straight edge, T-square, and a marker, you're going to need some relatively inexpensive fabrication tools, which are easily sourced from Eastwood. You'll need a set of tin snips (Eastwood's set includes a left-hand, right-hand, and center snip), throatless shears, and a bead roller with a selection of mandrels. We also recommend a box of Clecos and a Cleco tool (sometimes called clekos), which act like a second set of hands to hold your work while you fine-tune the fitment.
Building close-out panels is nearly a daily occurrence at Outlaw Motorsports (Riverside, California) where our '68 Nova project currently resides. Ron Aschtgen of Outlaw has been overseeing our Nova's buildup, and recently showed us the proper techniques for building a panel—in our case a new package tray to cover the unsightly structure where our new Art Morrison rollbar passes through. The entire process for measuring, cutting, bending, painting, and fitting the package tray panel took about three hours, and the processes Aschtgen showed us are nearly identical for other interior panels and engine compartment close-out pieces. This is something you'll definitely want to try yourself!
|Stuff You'll Need
|Set of three tin snips
|Throatless shears
|Bead roller with mandrels
|Cleco kit (panel holding system)
|$38.99 (ea.)
|Set of 10 Clecos
|Extreme Chassis Black (satin)
Watch The Video!
We know some of the procedures shown in this story might be difficult to imagine at first, so we shot a video of the entire process. To check it out, log on to YouTube.com/PopularHotRodding and look for "Project Nova—How To Make A Package Tray."
The subject of our panel fabrication is the package tray of our '68 Nova, which recently had a Morrison rollbar kit installed by Ron Aschtgen of Outlaw Motorsports (see, "Hoop It Up!" Sept. '12). Here, Aschtgen starts by measuring the area to be covered by the panel, which is approximately 13 inches by 39.5 inches.
Start by laying out your panel dimensions on a piece of sheetmetal—in this case a 26-gauge sheet of mild steel. Right now, the overall shape is what's important—you want to cut a larger piece, then gradually trim it to size.
Cut out your workpiece with some tin snips—this set of three snips by Eastwood (70270, $24.99) is designed to eject the scrap on either the left or right side, depending on your work direction. A third, straight snip favors neither side.
After cutting the piece out, Aschtgen went back to the Nova and made some careful measurements to find out where the rollbar braces intersected the package tray. This package tray will be built in three pieces—center (this piece here), and two sidepieces.
With the rollbar cutouts made, Aschtgen now starts to shape the center panel where it meets the back glass. There's a 3-inch-wide factory molding that the panel will fit under, so the fit needs to be close, but not perfect. The Eastwood throatless shears (11797, $179.99) can be permanently mounted, or held in a vise. They have a handle with a geared lever, making precise adjustments to the cutting very easy.
A quick burnishing with a hammer will nicely flatten any tool work marks or irregularities made by your snips or shears. It's best to do this now before you use the bead roller, or paint your workpiece.
After trial fitting the center piece between the rollbar tubes, Aschtgen used a straightedge to lay out a design for the bead roller. You can use any handy cylinder—in this case a large socket—to plan your curves. Ours will be a flat plateau—not a bead. Note the margin Aschtgen has marked on the ends for the shelf where the sidepieces will overlap.
Our Eastwood bead roller (28187, $159.99) is one fun toy to play with! Like the throatless shears, it can be mounted temporarily on a vice. The Eastwood bead roller comes with six sets of mandrels for different-sized steps and beads. Some minor assembly is required.
We started with the easy part first—the steps on either end of the center piece where the end pieces will overlap. The next step was bending the shape laid out in the center—the "island." This is the operation Aschtgen is doing in the lead photo; it used the same "step" mandrel set. It's a great idea to practice bead rolling on a scrap first!
After cleaning the center panel, Aschtgen shot it with Eastwood Extreme Chassis Black, which has three times the protective resin that comparative products have. Here you can see the center island created by the step mandrel. It adds stiffness to the panel while giving it some style.
Next stage is to make the end pieces that will mate with the center piece. Aschtgen used a piece of cardboard to make a template. It's tempting to do a mirror image for the opposite side, but both ends are different enough that it causes trouble with fitment.
After using your straight edge to cut out the shape from the template, cutting out the rollbar channel, then laying out a center step with marker (all steps you'll repeat from the center panel), use the bead roller to shape a raised "island" step in the middle.
These are Clecos and a Cleco installation tool. These will be used to position the panels on the package tray during fitment and while riveting. Think of them as temporary rivets that can be loosened and repositioned. This Cleco kit from Eastwood (19074, $38.99) was supplemented with additional Clecos (19073, $13.99, set of 10 Clecos).
With your panel in place, drill a ⅛-inch hole through your work all the way through and into the attaching point below (the package tray in this case). Since this is where the rivets will go, it's important that the holes are aesthetically placed. You can move the work by using the same hole in your workpiece, but drilling a different hole in the base. To hold the work in place, insert a Cleco in the tool, squeeze it, then insert the Cleco in the hole and release the tool. The Cleco is spring loaded, and will hold it in place like a rivet.
With all your holes drilled and all the Clecos holding the work in place, you can remove the Clecos one at a time using the Cleco tool, and place a permanent rivet in the hole. Move down the line until all the Clecos are replaced with rivets.
Here's the finished package tray close-out panel assembly. It looks like a high-end aircraft or race car piece, but it only took a few hundred dollars in tools and about three hours to do. Once you try it, you'll want to do all your panels this way!

I've been building a mythtv box that is quickly expanding into a headless server (for the backend). Though it may continue full circle back to a single pc. Basically, I want to use a board I don't have a case for. I haven't run a local server in years but it may make a good subject.
I'm running Linux Mint 13 Cinnamon, but there are better choices - check out : http://www.linuxmce.com/
everyone's needs will vary, mine are fairly light.
Mythtv Backend with a Tuner
Mythtv works quite well with an ATSC tuner, it can even get the EPG over the air. It can record multiple programs at the same time from a single tuner (they need to be on the same transport - i.e. 10.1 & 10.2) It supports multiple tuners, though I really don't need that. It does automatic commercial detection and will skip them automatically. It can transcode to put on dvds (not something I need), getting it to transcode to h.264 seems harder, but with that I could stream to my tablet (and the recording would take up less space). It can cut the commercials out when transcoding too, so that would be a further space savings. You can control the front end (player) from your android device over wifi with mythmote (that's the one I tried, several other apps are availible).
NAS - may as well use that storage!
Backups, central media storage, etc.
Power saving stuff - wake-on-lan (NAS, any non-mythtv use), ACPI-wakeup (wakeup, record show, shutdown)
The home automation stuff is really cool, may try that someday.
I'm sure there were other things for a server to do, but I'm drawing a blank now.
Home Server
Think you've got a good idea? Share it with us and it might just end up on the show!

I run a small headless server in my basement that I use for Minecraft with a few friends, NAS and streaming videos to the Wii. no Tuner yet though.
I run it 24/7, no WOL or any real power saving features, my electric bill went up by maybe $1 per month. (No video card, just HDDs, RAM, CPU, onboard LAN)
I do think it would be nice to set up some power saving stuff, if nothing else merely for wear and tear on the machine.
Its currently been up for probably 2 months or more nonstop, had some fan related issues before that that required a reboot
I'm running a custom distro of linux with no X server, ssh, and some extra security features. only ports forwarded to the outside net is minecraft, and samba, minecraft and ssh is all that's open inside atm.
Technically comcast (my isp) says no dedicated server equipment for hosting anything. the key word is in bold. its not a dedicated server since its my backup and NAS box too.
I've never set up WOL to be honest, that's something I need to give a go. I also should post a pic of how I've set up my "case" for the server.

BARRE — After the Vergennes Union High School boys' basketball team defeated No. 2 Burr & Burton in this past Saturday's Division II championship game, 62-49, the No. 1 Commodores' hundreds of fans — who once again made a neutral site sound like a home game — chanted what their team had accomplished for the first time in program history.
"Undefeated! Undefeated! Undefeated," echoed around the rafters of the Barre Auditorium and washed over the 24-0 Commodores, including the 10 seniors, most of whom have been playing together since their parents had to help lace their sneakers.
Here is a slideshow of Trent Campbell photos from the game featuring the players, Coach Peter Quinn and the enthusiastic fans.

I was traveling to Washington early in the George W. Bush administration and asked a friend who was working in the White House whether I could bring her something from L.A. Was there anything she really, really missed? Yes, she said: Trader Joe's Mt. Baldy trail mix.
Everybody's got a Trader Joe's story, and the original one belongs to the original Joe, Joe Coulombe, the founder, a San Diego native and Stanford MBA. He parted company with Trader Joe's more than 20 years ago, but he has hardly been idle -- sitting on boards, advising companies, speaking at South Pasadena's Rotary Club, wine touring in France and painting pictures of relatives and friends (he's holding a self-portrait with grandchild.)
His most famous offspring, Trader Joe's, is privately owned by a trust founded by a German grocery chain family. It now operates in more than two dozen states, and even in the nation's capital. But it is still an L.A. institution at heart -- like its founder.
Trader Joe's has become something of a lifestyle feature here, like the weather. It's hard to imagine Southern California without it. How did it start, and why?
I had opened a chain called Pronto markets. I got financing from Adohr Milk Farms, but in late 1965, Adohr was bought by 7-Eleven, which meant the 800-pound gorilla of convenience stores was not only coming to town but now owned my source of capital. So I had to do something different. Scientific American had a story that of all people qualified to go to college, 60% were going. I felt this newly educated -- not smarter but better-educated -- class of people would want something different, and that was the genesis of Trader Joe's.
All Trader Joe's were located near centers of learning. Pasadena, where I opened the first one, was because Pasadena is the epitome of a well-educated town. I reframed this: Trader Joe's is for overeducated and underpaid people, for all the classical musicians, museum curators, journalists -- that's why we've always had good press, frankly!
I can't think of Trader Joe's and 7-Eleven as competitors. It's like Twinkies versus tofu.
That was true of Pronto Markets too. Pronto was the first drugstore to sell health and beauty aids, to sell paperback books, to promote photo finishing. It was a big deal. We tried a lot of things.
And you sold ammunition for a while!
That's right, until Robert Kennedy got shot and all kinds of new rules came in.
You opened the first Trader Joe's in 1967. What made it different?
The fundamental difference between Trader Joe's and all other retailers is the income level of employees. I said the average full-time employee will make median family income for California. In those days that was about $7,000. Median family income soared, but we stayed with it, and today [Trader Joe's stores pay] whatever it is, $58,000, $59,000. That will vary state by state. And the benefits are rich -- medical plans, extended in recent years to part-time employees.
What I keep telling people [is] forget about the merchandise; it's the quality of the people in the stores. [At Trader Joe's the] tenure is typically 35 years. I call them the roach motels: They check in and they don't check out. Some of the people I hired in the 1960s [are] finally retiring. We also made a real effort to hire women managers. So it's the quality of the people and new ideas. This was not a one-man show.
I will say this: The Pill disrupted my supply of manpower. Once [it] kicked in, there weren't so many forced marriages where the guy had to go to work!
You used scarcity as a marketing tool; some item may be there for a while, but you can't count on it being there forever, like items in grocery stores.
I learned that lesson with vintage wines. There's only so much 1966 Lafite Rothschild. So we deliberately pursued a policy of discontinuity, as opposed to, say, Coca-Cola, which is in infinite supply. For example, we had the only vintage-dated, field-specific canned corn in existence, and it was the best damned canned corn there was. But there was only so much produced every year, and when you're out, you're out.
Trader Joe's expanded into Northern California before you left the company in 1989. When it went out of state, were you concerned about its maintaining quality?
A lot of things are made possible now by the new electronics, the ability to communicate with distribution centers and vendors. Circa 1982, thanks to my son, who is a Macintosh freak, we had an Apple II to communicate with 13 small bakers. It was a primitive version of what goes on today. Basically all the Western United States is served out of Chino; back East everything is served out of a place near Boston. The more distribution centers you have, the more problems you have, exponentially. The East Coast doesn't have the same products as the West Coast.
There's a Facebook battle in Alabama to get a Trader Joe's. It's become like landing an NFL franchise.
I had that in California. Claremont was especially noisy, but unless you have enough well-educated people, Trader Joe's will not work. Claremont had well-educated people, but not enough. They have one [there] now.
Why do you think people still identify you with the chain, rather than the German owners?
I did over 3,000 one-minute broadcasts on KFAC, the classical music station; each broadcast closed, "This is Joe Coulombe of Trader Joe's." That was one of the ways I built the profile. Also, because I didn't know anything about food and wine, I used [the broadcasts] as a means of forcing myself to learn. I was 37 years old when we started Trader Joe's. I'd been in the grocery business 10 years; grocers don't know anything about what they sell. I was a rum drinker!
But you didn't do the hard sell?
No, no, it was "If you don't buy this, it's all right, we've signed 30-year leases." On the other hand, if you don't buy it, it may be gone pretty soon.
This was one of my most important principles: Never have a mandatory sell. This rule gets violated all the time; it just drives me nuts: "Buy now!" You never give an order to a customer.
When I was selling Kirby vacuum cleaners at Stanford door to door, that's where I learned negative selling. You go in and say, "Well, I really don't think you can afford this." Sometimes they did buy; you don't make a sale on every call.
Why was a German company interested in buying Trader Joe's?
In those days, the average store size was about the same as their Aldi [markets]. I dissuaded them from using Trader Joe's as a vehicle to launch Aldi. Pretty soon they came to realize that Trader Joe's was a unique vehicle. They've been wonderful owners. We had in essence a one-page agreement. O'Melveny & Myers refused to write it! So my lawyer did. You can't have a one-page agreement today.
If I were to go into your kitchen now, would I find a lot of Trader Joe's stuff?
I buy Trader Joe's mayonnaise. I do a lot of shopping at Costco, and at Cost Plus [whose board he chairs].
Was there a real Charles T. Shaw, of two-buck Chuck fame?
Oh yes. He was a banker who went to work in Paris; fell in love with Beaujolais. I met him once, in the 1980s. He had a winery in the Napa Valley. Went bankrupt. And Fred Franzia, the largest owner of vineyards in the United States, he bought the name, he bought the brand.
I tell people, on every case there's not only a date, there's an hour code. Write that down and if you like that bottle, go back and try to find the same date and hour. [The wine] will vary tremendously because of the volume -- 6 million cases or whatever it is a year. It is discontinuous; you cannot count that next month your Charles T. Shaw Cabernet Sauvignon will taste same as the last one.
Trader Joe's had nectarines from Chile, noodles from Thailand. Now we're concerned with carbon footprints and locally grown foods.
An article in the New York Times said that in the recession, the green pitch isn't working anymore and organic sales have fallen sharply. I've always felt the whole organic idea was a fraud. There are some very legalistic definitions [to organic]. It's one thing to have organics, and it's another thing to avoid certain additives like extra sugar and flavor enhancers and artificial colors. That's what we were doing.
And the private label?
We didn't inaugurate it; we changed its character. There are a lot of products which have no branding. We put our name on it. We were the first essentially to sell frozen fish. We went down to San Pedro and we'd buy it and freeze it and it was a huge success. If you want really fresh seafood, buy it frozen -- if it has been frozen the minute it hits the deck.
People talk about L.A.'s restaurants changing the city's tastes, but few people go to those restaurants and many go to Trader Joe's and see an Indian dish or a Peruvian dish and think, well, for four bucks, I'll try that.
Some of changing [people's taste] was simply by breaking the price on things that had been too expensive. Wild rice -- we found that farmers around Sacramento were starting to grow wild rice, and we broke the price on wild rice. And supermarkets didn't pay any attention to capers -- we broke the price on capers. Supermarkets don't have the imagination, and that's OK, because they're trying to be all things to all people.
In the late 1970s, did you lobby to break the fair-trade rules that set minimum prices on many items?
I didn't lobby to repeal it. In fact, people thought we'd go bankrupt when fair trade was repealed. I didn't, because I had paid off all debt in 1975. Trader Joe's never had one penny of debt [after that] and that was one of the reasons we were able to make so many deals -- we could wire cash. When fair trade went out, man, we took that and we ran with it, and within 90 days we were making more money than ever before.
How did Fearless Flyer get started?
It's based on Consumer Reports physically, page size, column width, but I jazzed it up with cartoons. And its writing: I [emulated] New York magazine. Writing that copy was another form of getting educated.
Because we didn't have any money, I only used artwork [from] prior to 1906 because there was no copyright until 1906. So I collected adventure books from the 1860s and Punch Magazine and Harper's for the cartoons. In those days you didn't have Photoshop. I [did it] with scissors and Scotch tape.
The original South Seas theme has been downplayed.
I read that the 747 would radically reduce the cost of travel, and I came up with the term "Trader" to evoke the South Seas. The first stores were loaded with marine artifacts. We'd go down to the docks in San Pedro, we'd buy flags, chains, all that stuff. I [put] walk-in boxes in the shape of ships with cannon in the middle of the stores. That was a terrible idea.
Trader Joe's has a no-questions-asked return policy. I just returned a guacamole-hummus mix. It was disgusting.
My daughters love hummus. My wife likes it. I don't like it. It's a downer flavor.

Well this is where China needs to come in .... if it doesn't than I would have my doubts on 'China-Pak' strategic partnership.
Official: Chinese bank no longer interested in funding Pakistan-Iran pipeline deal
By Associated Press, Updated: Wednesday, March 14, 2:28 PM
ISLAMABAD — A state-owned Chinese bank that had agreed to finance the Pakistani section of a gas pipeline from Iran that is opposed by the United States is no longer interested in the project, a Pakistani finance ministry spokesman said Wednesday.
Finance Ministry spokesman Naveed Iqbal said he didn't know why the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China was apparently backing out, but said "the geopolitical situation" had previously been cited by the petroleum ministry as the reason.
The U.S. has warned Pakistan and companies assisting the project could face sanctions if they go ahead.
Washington believes Iran is trying to develop a nuclear bomb, and wants to isolate Tehran economically to try and get it to abandon any nuclear plans. Iran says its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.
Iqbal said the Chinese bank and Pakistan's Habib Bank Limited had jointly agreed to help finance the Pakistani section of the pipeline, but now seemed to "have no more interest in the project." Neither company could immediately be reached for comment Wednesday.
Pakistani leaders have vowed to press ahead with the pipeline despite U.S. opposition, saying it was vital for the supply of gas to the energy-starved country. But there have been widely expressed doubts over who will finance the project given U.S. opposition.
Asked about the Chinese bank's apparent withdrawal, Pakistani Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar said, "There are always a multiplicity of funding sources which are available for any project."
"This is a fairly viable project and we hope and we will not see any problem in trying to find ways and means of ensuring its funding," she said.

SACRAMENTO, CA — California high school officials are getting serious about steroids. Three new regulations, the first to be passed by a U.S. high school sports organization, require parents, players and school officials to sign contracts promising that athletes won't use steroids. They also regulate what dietary supplements coaches can give to athletes and require them to earn a certification that includes material on steroid abuse.
"The numbers [of students taking steroids] are growing, and the studies are finding that a lot of the youth are not just using them for athletic performance. There's a vanity element to it," said Emmy Zack, director of communications for the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF). "They don't realize the risks they're putting their body at to have that physical appearance."
The new rules, passed by the CIF in mid-May, will take effect this fall, although coaches have until 2008 to obtain the certification. The CIF is a governing body for more than 99 percent of the 1,400 or so high schools in California. Individual school districts are in charge of enforcing the regulations although the CIF can jump enforcing the regulations although the CIF can jump in with penalties if they hear of repeat offenses.
The CIF decided that testing students for drugs wasn't fiscally feasible since tests cost $75 to $100 each.
"The approach we're taking is the educational approach," Zack said. "Let's teach the students and parents and coaches what the dangers are."
In April, the CIF mailed educational CDs to California high school administrators. The CIF will issue the CDs regularly to give schools up-to-date information about new steroid lingo and different types of steroids on the market. The CD contains a PowerPoint presentation and facilitator notes so that a school district can easily give presentations about steroids to their coaches, parents and students.
Although not perfect, the regulations show progress, said Dr. Linn Goldberg, head of the sports medicine division at the Oregon Health and Science University and an expert in steroid education.
"Coaches are fairly clueless about supplements and steroids," Goldberg said. "We found that 15-year-old athletes had as much or more knowledge about steroids than the coaches, who had an average of 15 years of experience. So, I think it's a step in the right direction."
The educational certification has been offered to coaches for quite some time, but the new regulations require them to attend an eight-hour class, which includes information from hazing to sexual harassment to first aid to steroids and supplements. Zack said some coaches were giving their athletes supplements, a practice that is now against CIF bylaws.
"We know coaches and other school personnel are telling [student athletes] to get bigger, but they're not giving them any instruction on how to do it, and they're giving them supplements to do it. That's not right," Zack said. "We want to help educate them on what they should be doing. There are many alternatives to achieve that goal."
The new regulations have attracted quite a bit of attention. Since last May, several state organizations and state legislatures have contacted Zack to find out more about the CIF's policies and what states can do.
In addition, the Committee on Government Reform passed the Clean Sports Act of 2005, which was created to strengthen the testing procedures and toughen penalties for the use of performance-enhancing drugs in professional American sports. The bill also established a commission to report on the use of performance-enhancing drugs by high school and college athletes and to provide recommendations for reducing their usage.

Brassica juncea, mustard greens, Indian mustard, Chinese mustard, Kai Choi,[1] or leaf mustard is a species of mustard plant. Subvarieties include southern giant curled mustard, which resembles a headless cabbage such as kale, but with a distinct horseradish-mustard flavor. It is also known as green mustard cabbage.
The leaves, the seeds, and the stem of this mustard variety are edible. The plant appears in some form in African, Bangladeshi, Italian, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and African-American (soul food) cuisine. Cultivars of B. juncea are grown as greens, and for the production of oilseed. In Russia, this is the main variety grown for production of mustard oil, which after refining is considered[according to whom?] one of the best vegetable oils. It is widely used in canning, baking and margarine production in Russia, and the majority of table mustard there is also made from this species of mustard plant. Mustard oil is also the primary cooking oil used in Eastern India.
The leaves are used in African[2] cooking, and leaves, seeds, and stems are used in Indian cuisine, particularly in mountain regions of Nepal, as well as in the Punjab cuisine of India and Pakistan, where a famous dish called sarson da saag (mustard greens)[3] is prepared.[4] B. juncea subsp. tatsai, which has a particularly thick stem, is used to make the Indian pickle called achar, and the Chinese pickle zha cai. The mustard made from the seeds of the B. juncea is called brown mustard.[5] The leaves and seeds are used in many Indian dishes.
The Gorkhas of Darjeeling and Sikkim prepare pork with mustard greens (also called rayo in Nepali). It is usually eaten with relish with steamed rice, but could also be eaten with chapati (griddle breads).
Brassica juncea is more pungent than the closely related Brassica oleracea greens (kale, cabbage, collard greens, et cetera), and is frequently mixed with these milder greens in a dish of "mixed greens", which may include wild greens such as dandelion. As with other greens in soul food cooking, mustard greens are generally flavored by being cooked for a long period with ham hocks or other smoked pork products. Mustard greens are high in vitamin A and vitamin K.
Chinese and Japanese cuisines also make use of mustard greens. In Japanese cuisine it is known as takana (タカナ, 高菜?) and is often pickled and used as filling in onigiri or as a condiment. A large variety of B. juncea cultivars are used, including zha cai, mizuna, takana (var. integlofolia), juk gai choy, and xuelihong (雪里红 or 雪里蕻; var. crispifolia). Asian mustard greens are most often stir-fried or pickled. A Southeast Asian dish called asam gai choy or kiam chai boey is often made with leftovers from a large meal. It involves stewing mustard greens with tamarind, dried chillies and leftover meat on the bone.
Brassica juncea is also known as Gai Choi, Siu Gai Choi, Xaio Jie Cai (Shiau Jie Tsai), Baby Mustard, Chinese Leaf Mustard and Mostaza.[1]
Food supplement
B. juncea can hyperaccumulate cadmium and many other soil trace elements. Specially cultured, it can be used as a selenium, chromium, iron and zinc food supplement.

Vegetable growers sometimes grow mustard as a green manure. Its main purpose is to act as a mulch, covering the soil to suppress weeds between crops. If grown as a green manure, the mustard plants are cut down at the base when sufficiently grown, and left to wither on the surface, continuing to act as a mulch until the next crop is due for sowing, when the mustard is dug in. In the UK, summer and autumn-sown mustard is cut down from October. April sowings can be cut down in June, keeping the ground clear for summer-sown crops.[citation needed] One of the disadvantages of mustard as a green manure is its propensity to harbor club root.
This plant is used in phytoremediation to remove heavy metals, such as lead, from the soil in hazardous waste sites because it has a higher tolerance for these substances and stores the heavy metals in its cells.[6] In particular, Schneider et al. found that Brassica juncea was particularly effective at removing cadmium from soil.[7] Removal of heavy metals concludes with the plant being harvested and properly discarded. Phytoremediation has been shown to be cheaper and easier than traditional methods for heavy metal reduction in soils. In addition, it has the added benefit of reducing soil erosion, reducing cross-site contamination. [6]

Kobe, Shaq express regrets | MKG signs extension with Hornets | Stoudemire has high hopes for himself, Heat | Carrying on Lloyd's legacy
No. 1: Kobe, Shaq express regrets — Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant teamed up on the Lakers to win three championships, but their publicly contentious relationship sometimes seemed as through they won despite each other instead of because of each other. But in Shaq's new podcast being released next week, Kobe Bryant visited as a guest, and as ESPN's Baxter Holmes writes, the two looked back on their relationship and the dissolution of it with some regret…
In the podcast, "The Big Podcast With Shaq," the two expressed regret over the feud.
"A lot of stuff was said out of the heat of the moment," O'Neal said in an excerpt from the podcast that was played on ESPN Radio on Wednesday. "I guarantee I don't remember a lot of stuff that they said, because I changed my thought process of, you know what, we won three out of four, what the hell are you all talking about? This is not really even a story."
Said Bryant: "Here's the thing, though. When you say it at the time, you actually mean it, and then when you get older you have more perspective, and you're like holy… I was an idiot when I was a kid.
"To me, the most important thing was really, 'just keep your mouth shut.' You don't need to go to the press with stuff. You keep it internal, and we have our arguments and our disagreements, but I think having our debates within the press was something I wish would've been avoided. But it did kind of create this whirlwind around us as a team with myself and Shaq and the press and the media that just put so much pressure on us as an organization."
No. 2: MKG signs extension with Hornets — The Charlotte Hornets and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist have supposedly been talking about a contract extension for a few days now, but yesterday they finally inked the five-year deal, which allowed both sides to meet the press. Hornets coach Steve Clifford has high goals for Kidd-Gilchrist, who explained to the Charlotte Observer's Rick Bonnell that he figured why wait to play for another contract?
Charlotte Hornets small forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist might have made some more off his second NBA contract by waiting until he reached restricted free-agency next July.
Instead he chose the security of a four-year, $52 million extension in a place and with a franchise that have become his home.
"Why wait?" Kidd-Gilchrist said at a Wednesday news conference to formally announce the signing. "I'm learning from the best. I don't do this for the money."
Perhaps not, but his second NBA contract will make the No. 2 overall pick in the 2012 draft fabulously wealthy. Also Kidd-Gilchrist has some upside protection in the contract's terms. A source familiar with the deal said Kidd-Gilchrist has a player option for the final season, so if his improvement coincides with the anticipated spike in the salary cap, he could become an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2019.
Kidd-Gilchrist would still be 25 – young by NBA standards – at that juncture.
Wednesday was a highly emotional day for Kidd-Gilchrist and his family. His mother frequently dabbed away tears during the news conference. He thanked numerous people including team owner Michael Jordan, the coaching staff and his family and agents.
"I'm learning from the best: MJ, Coach (Steve Clifford), Patrick Ewing, Mark Price," Kidd-Gilchrist said.
Price, now coaching the Charlotte 49ers, was the Hornets assistant who worked diligently two summers ago to fix Kidd-Gilchrist's jump shot. Price and Kidd-Gilchrist became so close through that experience that Kidd-Gilchrist skipped a team flight last season, flying to Washington later in the day at his own expense, to attend Price's introductory news conference at UNC Charlotte.
Price returned that respect Wednesday, attending Kidd-Gilchrist's news conference.
While Kidd-Gilchrist is still developing offensively (he averaged 10.9 points and 7.6 rebounds last season), he's among the NBA's top wing defenders. He told the Observer last season he aspires to be the best defender in NBA history, and didn't back off that goal Wednesday.
"Aim for the stars; you'll probably land on the moon. I have confidence in myself," Kidd-Gilchrist said.
No. 3: Stoudemire has high hopes for himself, Heat — Amar'e Stoudemire has spent a decade in the NBA, and gone from being a high-flying transition player into a more traditional, savvy post presence. After joining the Dallas Mavericks for their playoff run, Stoudemire signed with the Miami Heat, which he considers a return home. And as Stoudemire explained to the Associated Press, he believes the Miami Heat could have championship potential…
He's been texting and talking with Chris Bosh regularly. He's considered himself close with Goran Dragic for years, going back to their time together with the Phoenix Suns.
Plus, he's called Miami home for about seven years already.
So getting acclimated to being part of the Heat, that won't be a big deal for the forward who will be entering his 14th NBA season – and first with Miami – when training camp opens in about a month. He knows many of his new teammates such as Dwyane Wade, Bosh and Dragic. He knows the city, and most of all he thinks that he can rekindle the All-Star form he had not long ago.
"We can be a really good team," Stoudemire said. "No one thought that the Golden State Warriors would be champions this time last year. We knew they'd be a really good team, but no one thought they'd be world champions. With us, we know we're a really good team. No one thinks we can be world champions, but you never know."
Stoudemire went back to school on Monday, appearing with some other members of the Heat staff at an elementary school in Fort Lauderdale on the first day of the new academic year in South Florida.
He posed for photos and helped hand out some school supplies to ecstatic kids in what essentially was his first public appearance for the team since signing a one-year, $1.5 million deal last month. He also had to introduce himself to a few students; one asked Stoudemire if he was Bosh.
"I just live life," Stoudemire said." I try to enjoy it. I try to create positive energy when I can, I try to affect people in a positive way and just live life."
For the kids, the new season of sorts started Monday.
For Stoudemire, while it won't officially start for a few more weeks, prepping for 2015-16 in reality started long ago. He's taking care of his body, but also said he believes that Heat President Pat Riley and coach Erik Spoelstra have the right formula to both extend the careers of veteran players while also getting the best from them.
"From playing against Miami, the thing that you learn is that they always have a competitive spirit," Stoudemire said. "There's an aura around here that everyone works hard, that you have to be in top shape which is great because I want to be in the best shape of my life going into this season. I want to surprise the world and have a very, very productive year."
No. 4: Carrying on Lloyd's legacy — Back in 1950, Earl Lloyd became the first African-American to play in the NBA, as a member of the Washington Capitols. Lloyd passed away in February at the age of 86, but his son is working to make sure Lloyd's legacy isn't forgotten by attempting to have him commemorated on a postage stamp. As Donald Hunt writes in the Philadelphia Tribune, Kevin Lloyd and his family have a long process to go through…
Lloyd is an excellent candidate to have his image on a postage stamp. Basketball legend Wilt Chamberlain was immortalized on two limited edition Forever postage stamps on Dec. 5, 2014 making him the first basketball player to have his likeness on a stamp.
The stamp process is quite grueling. The Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee is an organization appointed by the Postmaster General. The CSAC selects the stamp subjects for future consideration. The group submits them to the postmaster general who approves the subjects and designs for all U.S. postage stamps. The CSAC receives thousands of suggestions each year.
Nevertheless, the U.S. Postal Service has approved stamps for a number of athletes such as Jackie Robinson, Larry Doby, Althea Gibson, Jesse Owens, Wilma Rudolph and others.
In 2003, Lloyd was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass. for integrating the NBA.
"Earl Lloyd was a true pioneer in the game as a breakout player, a coach, and an administrator who at every level led the integration of the professional game," said John Doleva, president and CEO, Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in a statement. "He had a great love and respect for the game and used his success and challenges within it to educate and motivate so many others to achieve at the highest level. His remarkable basketball career aside, he was also one of the greatest and most decent human beings to represent basketball and the game was fortunate to have him at its forefront."
Letters supporting Kevin Lloyd's campaign should be mailed to: Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee, 475 L'Enfant Plaza SW, Room 3300, Washington, D.C. 20260-3501.

Brenda vs Ebola
It's easy to forget this feud, especially since Ebola Hilton has feuded with everyone but back in the day, she and Shannen Doherty scrapped it out over – ew! – Rick Salomon. Do you remember?
Shannen was married to Rick just before the sex tape with Ebola broke out. No one knows exactly the timeline when that sh*t went down but suffice to say, they overlapped in Rick's bed and given Shannen's mean streak and Ebola's wickedness, the smut spilled over onto a red carpet, resulting in a supposed throw down at a party after Ebola allegedly kept crank calling Shannen, telling her that Rick didn't want her anymore, and boasting that she'd bagged her man.
Word is Shannen punched Ebola in the face and defaced her car.
Both deny the incident. I on the other hand believe every word.
It's 5 years later, it's another red carpet, and it's Vegas.
Saturday night at the opening of Lavo Restaurant and Nightcub at the Palazzo, both Ebola and Shannen attend, arriving miles apart, and kept that way by event handlers, although my sources say, that didn't stop Ebola from hissing "What's SHE doing here? I heard her show sucks" loudly enough to be overheard. She then took every occasion to tell anyone who would listen within earshot of Shannen about the new show she has in development with Ryan Seacrest.
I would have ripped off her skank weave and started a bonfire in her black hole vagina. Shannen however somehow managed to hold it together. Which is disappointing. The old Shannen we knew and loved would have nailed that f&cking bitch to a wall.

Tens of thousands of visitors are expected to attend the 12-day run of the Ohio State Fair, which opens Wednesday, July 24, at the Ohio Expo Center and State Fairgrounds, 717 E. 17th Ave. in Columbus.
Tens of thousands of visitors are expected to attend the 12-day run of the Ohio State Fair, which opens Wednesday, July 24, at the Ohio Expo Center and State Fairgrounds, 717 E. 17th Ave. in Columbus.
Some, however, will have a little more on their minds than carnival games, rides and fried food.
The fair's annual best-of-show competitions and juried shows include traditional pie-making, home-brewed beer and horsemanship.
Many are in advance of the fair's opening day and results are displayed at various fairground venues, but some competitions occur in front of public spectators during the fair.
A few of this year's central Ohio exhibitors are: Phoebe Snyder, a Hilliard Darby High School graduate who entered five photographs in the fine-arts competition; Jeff Berry, a Hilliard resident whose homemade cream ale won a category-specific gold medal at the Homebrew Competition; and Mallory Baker, a 13-year-old from Upper Arlington who will compete in English and Western horse shows.
Two Johnstown teens who are part of the local 4-H Club also are entering. Madison Schulze, 13, is in her second year of a project called "Family Treasure Hunt," tracing her family's genealogy. Hannah Vicroy, 17, will enter a project called "Make Over My Space," in which she redesigned her bedroom -- paint, bedding, etc.High hopes for photos
"I'm a visual person who likes to express myself and tell stories through photography, "said Snyder, 18, who will attend the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
Baker submitted nine photographs, five of which were selected for the fine arts show.
One of those is titled, "Americana Manger" and depicts a young couple seated in a 1960s pickup truck and holding an infant swaddled in an American flag. Inside the truck cab is a Coca-Cola and other images of popular American culture.
"I wanted to depict that the American dream is still alive," Snyder said.
Snyder will learn July 23, the day before the fair opens, whether any of her five photographs are recognized, but all five and others will be on display from July 24 to Aug. 4.Homebrewing champ
Judging for homebrewed beers already is complete and Berry won a gold medal for his cream ale in the light-hybrid category.
It was Berry's first gold medal at the Ohio State Fair, following the silver and bronze medals he earned last year and a bronze medal two years ago.
Berry has won at other competitions throughout Ohio, as well as contests in Michigan and Iowa.
"It's a hobby (and) has helped me make a lot of new friends," Berry said. "I enjoy sharing it with other people."
Winners' names are listed, and if the brewer chooses, a labeled bottle is put on display, but, Berry said, he did not label or bottle his cream ale for display at the fair.Taking the reins
Showing animals is a tradition at most fairs, and Baker will compete July 30 in the English and Western classes of horse showmanship, horsemanship and equitation.
In horse showmanship, Baker is required to follow a set of patterns, on foot beside the horse, using reins to control it.
In horsemanship, Baker will be required to do the same while mounted.
Equitation uses similar patterns while saddled, but in the English classes as opposed to the Western class.
"My mother showed horses when she was a girl and she has a friend who has horses," Baker said. "I saw them when I was about 5 years old, and have been riding horses since then."
Baker will compete in 4-H shows at the Franklin County Fair July 13-20 in advance of the competition at the state fair.
Last year, she placed fifth in horsemanship and equitation.If you go
The state fair runs from July 24 to Aug. 4.
Concerts will include Martina McBride on July 26; a twin bill featuring REO Speedwagon and Styx on July 28; Carly Rae Jepsen with special guest New Hollow, a rock band from New Albany, on July 31; and the Steve Miller Band on Aug. 1.
Comedian ventriloquist Jeff Dunham also will perform July 24.
Daily entertainment includes a Civil War encampment, petting zoo, carnival rides and fireworks each evening.
Gates will be open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, except Aug. 4, when gates close at 8 p.m.
Rides will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m., and until midnight Fridays and Saturdays.
Admission will be $10 for adults and children 13 and over.
Senior citizens (60 and over) and children ages 5 to 12 will be admitted for $8. Children under 4 will be admitted free.
Advance tickets may be purchased for $6. All-day wristbands for unlimited rides are $23 ($20 in advance) and parking on fairgrounds property is $5.

Master of Science in Management
The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay's Master's of Management program is an innovative, advanced study of the management process and its outcomes. The program, offered through UW-Green Bay's Austin E. Cofrin School of Business, prepares effective leaders and strategic decision-makers for the region's businesses, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies. Students in the program are managers from a variety of organizations, both large and small, as well as individuals who wish to enter the management profession.
This program provides students, many of whom already have extensive business backgrounds, with the knowledge and critical thinking skills needed to lead and succeed in complex and dynamic organizations. Students who have experienced success in the workplace find that additional education enhances their professional profile and affords new professional opportunities. The program develops leaders who will take on new management challenges and make a positive difference in their workplace and community.
Leadership, innovation, strategic thinking, and effective communication are the program's cornerstones. Advanced consideration of vital organizational knowledge, including the management of financial information and strategic marketing, enables students to play key roles in organizational decision making. Interdisciplinary problem-solving is emphasized through the program's content and pedagogy, which incorporates both theoretical and applied approaches to developing the skills for life-long learning.
The Master's of Management is created with students' needs in mind. Students have the convenience of small classes and the opportunity to work closely with dedicated faculty who will challenge students to perform at the highest levels. All instructors are experienced teachers with doctorate degrees. They also have wide-ranging community involvement and professional and international experience.
Convenient scheduling is one of the program's key features. Many graduate students work full time and pursue their graduate studies on a part-time basis. Master's of Management courses are offered in the evening or over a series of weekends. While the program is structured to accommodate part-time students, those seeking full-time education are also served.
Admission Requirements
All courses are taught under the assumption that students have the necessary background and preparation to succeed in the program. A well-prepared student enters the program with an understanding of and an undergraduate competency level in management, marketing, finance, accounting, and statistics. Students can demonstrate their competency by completing undergraduate or foundation courses in the five areas or by passing competency exams. The program adviser will review these options with prospective students to ascertain the student's level of competency.
Admission requirements for the Master's of Management program closely follow the University-wide policy for admission to graduate programs. These requirements include:
- A bachelor's degree from an accredited institution.
- A 3.0 grade point average on a 4.0 scale.
- A GMAT or GRE score sent directly from the testing agency is required. Please contact the Office of Graduate Studies if you have questions about this requirement.
- International applicants must be prepared to provide Evidence of English Proficiency. A minimum paper score of 500 or computer-based score of 213 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required. For a complete list of alternatives to the TOEFL exam, please contact the Office of Graduate Studies. International applicants must also provide a course by course Evaluation of Foreign Credentials from Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE) for an application to be considered. International applicants who meet English Proficiency and academic admission requirements will be admitted but must also show evidence of financial resources adequate to provide for their educational expenses before an I-20 will be provided.
Applicants who do not meet the 3.0 grade point average requirement or who have other deficiencies may be admitted on a provisional basis.
Special Students
Persons holding a bachelor's or higher-level degree who wish to enroll in courses but do not want to pursue a Master's of Management degree may enroll as special students. Graduate credit will be awarded provided that the student registers in graduate-level courses as a graduate special student and pays appropriate fees.
Steps Toward the Degree
- The candidate is admitted to the graduate program.
- In consultation with the program adviser, an Official Declaration of Master's Degree (GR-1 Form) is filed on the student's behalf.
- After at least 24 credits, the student registers for MANAGMNT 796: Professional Project.
- The student files an Application for Graduation with the Registrar's Office through the Student Information System (SIS). The application must be completed and submitted to the Office of the Registrar prior to November 1 for fall semester graduates, and April 1 for spring and summer semester graduates.
- Upon successful completion of professional project course, the instructor will enter grade in SIS. Filing the Approval of Thesis Defense or Project Presentation (GR-4 Form) with the Graduate Studies Office indicates satisfactory completion of the professional project and presentation.
- Graduate receives diploma.

World Campus spring graduates include students in U.S., Afghanistan
World Campus spring graduates include students in U.S., Afghanistan
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — A married couple in New Jersey, a State College resident and a civilian worker in Afghanistan will all receive degrees earned online through the World Campus during Penn State's spring commencement May 3 to 5.
Among the Penn State students graduating during University Park campus commencement are Tom Brown, a civilian worker in Afghanistan; Matthew and Diana Kirk of Riverside, N.J.; and Jamie Reep, of State College, Pa.
World Campus graduates who are attending commencement also are invited to the World Campus and Continuing Education Graduation Celebration from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday, May 4.
Brown, who earned a master's degree in homeland security, geospatial intelligence option, is now a civilian intelligence analyst with a military contractor in Afghanistan. He previously served 13 years in the Marine Corps. Sgt. Brown enrolled in the master's program while a Marine to become more marketable for future jobs. During his last military deployment in Afghanistan, he said, "I was able to assist and use tradecraft, some of which I learned from Penn State, which ultimately resulted in expedited transfer of authority to Afghan National Security Forces way ahead of schedule."
For the Kirks, parents of daughter Kelly, 11, the World Campus made it possible to gain education for current and future employment opportunities. Matt Kirk, a Riverton Borough Police Department patrolman with 20 years of policing, is considering a second career — in business. Diana Kirk, an executive secretary with a behavioral health facility in Philadelphia, where she has worked for 22 years, wants a degree for career advancement.
Diana Kirk will receive her associate degree in letters, arts and sciences, and will continue on for a bachelor's degree in organizational leadership in the World Campus. "The flexibility of online classes is so much better for me," added Kirk, who previously enrolled in community college courses. Matt Kirk earned an administration of justice degree from Penn State. This time, he is receiving an associate degree in business administration. "Finding the time for classes was a challenge," said Kirk, a volunteer with Riverside Fire Co. No. 1, where he served as chief while a World Campus student.
Reep will receive his bachelor's degree in information sciences and technology with highest distinction, in recognition of his 4.0 grade-point average. He completed the degree while working 60 to 70 hours a week as vice president of technology for a South Carolina company, 35 hours a week in Web development for a small firm and caring for wife Kristen and sons Evan, 7, and Aidan, 4. "I was able to fit education into my hectic schedule with the World Campus," said Reep, who lost his technology job last December, but landed a new position as a programmer/analyst in Penn State's Eberly College of Science. "I did most of my studying between midnight and 3 a.m.," added Reep, who is returning to Penn State classes this fall and is considering a master's degree in computer science and engineering.

Conducting Your Transactions Online
An evaluation of controls your business uses may include:
All funds in a "noninterest-bearing transaction account" are insured in full by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation from December 31, 2010, through December 31, 2012. This temporary unlimited coverage is in addition to, and separate from, the coverage of at least $250,000 available to depositors under the FDIC's general deposit insurance rules.
The term "noninterest-bearing transaction account" includes a traditional checking account or demand deposit account on which the insured depository institution pays no interest. It also includes Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts ("IOLTAs"). It does not include other accounts, such as traditional checking or demand deposit accounts that may earn interest, NOW accounts, and money-market deposit accounts.
For more information about temporary FDIC insurance coverage of transaction accounts, visit www.fdic.gov.
In accordance with the requirements of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 and Regulation GG, this notice is to inform you that restricted transactions are prohibited from being processed through your account or relationship with our institution. Restricted transactions are transactions in which a person accepts credit, funds, instruments or other proceeds from another person in connection with unlawful Internet gambling.
Revision Date: February 2013
The types of personal information we collect and share depend on the product or service you have with us. This information can include:
When you are no longer our customer, we continue to share your information as described in this notice.
We also collect your personal information from others, such as credit bureaus, affiliates, or other companies.
Your Ability to Withdraw Funds
Our policy is to make funds from your check deposits available to you on the first business day after the day we receive your deposit. Electronic direct deposits and cash deposits will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Once they are available, you can withdraw the funds in cash and we will use the funds to pay checks that you have written. For determining the availability of your deposits, every day is a business day, except Saturdays, Sundays, and Federal holidays. We are an "all day banking" institution which means that transactions are posted on the same day that they are received within the bank.
Longer Delays May Apply
In some cases, we will not make all of the funds that you deposit by check available to you on the first business day after the day of your deposit. Depending on the type of check that you deposit, funds may not be available until the second business day after the day of your deposit. However, the first $200 of your deposits will be available on the first business day.
If we are not going to make all of the funds from your deposit available on the first business day, we will notify you at the time you make your deposit. We will also tell you when the funds will be available. If your deposit is not made directly to one of our employees, or if we decide to take this action after you have left the premises, we will mail you the notice by the day after we receive your deposit.
If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available.
In addition, funds you deposit by check may be delayed for a longer period under the following circumstances:
· We believe a check you deposit will not be paid.
· You deposit checks totaling more than $5,000 on any one day.
· You redeposit a check that has been returned unpaid.
· You have overdrawn your account repeatedly in the last six months.
· There is an emergency, such as failure of computer or communications equipment. We will notify you if we delay your ability to withdraw funds for any of these reasons, and we will tell you when the funds will be available. They will generally be available no later than the fifth business day after the day of your deposit.
Special Rules for New Accounts
If you are a new customer, the following special rules will apply during the first 30 days your account is open.
Funds from electronic direct deposits and cash deposits to your account will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Funds from wire transfers, and the first $5,000 of a day's total deposits of cashier's, certified, teller's, traveler's, and federal, state, and local government checks will be available on the first business day after the day of your deposit if the deposit meets certain conditions. For example, the checks must be payable to you (and you may have to use a special deposit slip). The excess over $5,000 will be available on the ninth business day after the day of your deposit. If your deposit of these checks (other than a U.S. Treasury check) is not made in person to one of our employees, the first $5,000 will not be available until the second business day after the day of your deposit.
Funds from all other check deposits will be available on the first business day after the day of your deposit unless we notify you that a later availability date is in effect. If we delay availability of funds from other check deposits, these funds will be available no later than 30 days from the date of deposit.
Coverage applies when the entire cost of the fare (less redeemable certificates, vouchers, or coupons) has been charged to the card. Your account must be in good standing. Restrictions to coverage may apply.
To activate coverage, complete the entire rental transaction with your card and decline the collision damage waiver coverage if offered by the rental company. Restrictions apply if you have personal automobile insurance covering this theft or damage.

Here's the way the mind of a pet works. You tell pet to attack Mob A. If the mob is damaging the pet in any way (whether it be and AE, straight melee or whatever), there is agro in the pet's mind. The pet will of course continue to attack that mob until one of them dies, or you /pethold him (we'll assume that everyone has the aa, it should be near the top of every pet classes list).
Now, say for example, you want the pet to stop attacking Mob A and go hit Mob B. The example I like to use on this is the XTC fight. You send pet on assist call, XTC is ae'ing like his usual self. Then you want the pet to stop and kill the respawns. The pet will not attack anyone other than XTC (because of the agro his ae has generated) unless you either a) suspend the pet, which wipes his memory, b) have the new OoW aa which allows you to tell your pet which target to attack, or c) kill it and make a new one. /pethold and /pet attack respawns isn't going to work.
It's also important to remember that /pethold isn't a memwipe. Say you're setting up for XTC, someone agros him and you get hit with the ae. You're trying to kill the 2 guards before XTC, and you send your pet. Depending on the number of times your pet was hit with the ae, the pet may go after the guards, or may go for XTC himself. Even if he goes for the guards first, XTC will still be on his agro list, and he'll attack immediately upon the death of the guards.
So what's the point of all this? Basically, watch your pet on raids. If you can't see him or the mob he's attacking, it's probably a good idea to kill it. There have been several wipes due to careless pet owners not keeping track of where their pets are. Personally, I usually prefer to keep my pet suspended during plows, and only pull him out when assist is called on bosses. When you look at the dps a pet does on plows, it's fairly insignifant in relation to the raid itself.

Throughout the Bush administration, people complained about how terribly secretive the Bushies were, and how they classified as Top Secret pretty much every written item short of a grocery list, and how transparency was the key to a fully functioning democracy. BLAH BLAH BLAH.
Then-candidate Barack Obama made a lot of promises about how open and transparent his administration would be, and people believed him. That's why they're now in such a lather that the Secret Service, despite a very polite Freedom of Information Act request from MSNBC and the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington to release their list of visitors to the White House, has said "Nope, sorry, your request does not fall under the purview of FOIA."
During the Bush administration, a judge already ruled -- twice -- on a similar request and ordered them to turn over their records (which they never did, and managed to keep up a series of appeals that continue to this day). So why are Obama's people dragging their heels in much the same way?
Press secretary Robert Gibbs yesterday ventured a semicoherent explanation, to the tune of "The policy is under review." In English, that translates to, "We will release our visitor logs when Hell freezes over."
Let's take a moment to ponder what sinister entities President Obama may have been secretly entertaining in the White House the past five months:
- Coal and energy industry executives, as suggested by CREW
- The spirits of dead presidents
- A collection of hedonist beatnik miscreants
The only way for President Obama to get this mess behind him is to tell his legal team to hurry up already with their "policy review," release the list once and for all, and finally reveal to the world that he has been meeting privately with Oprah every Tuesday morning.
Hotshot lawyer and governmental transparency advocate Sara K. Smith writes for NBC and Wonkette.

As writers, we all think we're better than we actually are.
I call this phenomenon "ugly baby syndrome." We all know people with ugly kids. Do these folks hide their children from the public? No. Proud parents that they are, these people hand out pictures of their ugly little progeny and ask the requisite, "Isn't she cute?" to all within earshot.
It's impossible to objectively view your own creation.
So when we write something, and the writing gets rejected, we all wonder what is wrong with the editor/agent/universe because they obviously don't know quality.
Unfortunately, believing in one's talents also encourages a sense of entitlement.
The fact is, you're never as good as you think you are, and no one will love your work as much as you do. Even you writers who say that you stink, you know deep down that you want someone to contradict your beliefs, to heap praise upon your work because you secretly believe it is worthwhile or else you wouldn't be writing in the first place.
As if this situation isn't volatile enough, we add Factor X to the mix.
Factor X dictates that anyone, at any time, with any degree of talent, can succeed.
There's no real rhyme or reason to success. No universal score keeper decides who gets a break and who still needs to pay their dues. There is no objective measure of talent that dictates the haves and the have nots.
We all try our best. Some make it. Some don't. Talent, experience, and hard work all may or may not be factors.
We all think we deserve success, but not all of us attain success, and there's no way to accurately judge if what we're doing is right or wrong, because we can't be objective, and because there is no clear cut path of right or wrong, no guarantees.
In fact, we might not even consider ourselves successful, even when other people believe we are.
Kind of a conundrum, ain't it? Especially since the business model for publishing, with returns and coop, is hardly ideal.
Unfortunately, all we can do is keep reminding ourselves of these three things:
1. It's our work that gets rejected or accepted, not us.
2. No one in this business really knows what they're doing.
3. All we have control over is how much we try.

I know very little about this great-grandfather, he died long before my birth and while I knew my great-grandmother (his wife), she never spoke about him in my presence. My grandmother did talk about her father from time to time to say that he was a good man but not a healthy man as evidenced by his death in 1938 at the age of 69 from longstanding abdominal ailments.
What I do know I have learned from discussions with my uncle, some cousins and from plain old research.
George Wellhausen was born in Detroit but the family later settled in Clinton Township, Macomb County, MI where he met his future wife, Amelia Schluessler (how they met is not known to me). They were married on February 14, 1895 (Valentine's Day-perhaps he was a romantic man!) and they owned a General Store at Van Dyke and 24 Mile Road in Utica, MI.
Together they had 3 children - daughters Gertrude and Ella and son, George, Jr.
I do know that my great-grandfather enjoyed hunting and fishing as my uncle, Melbourne Schulte, relates that his grandfather taught him both sports which were activities that my father was definitely not interested in. Obviously George enjoyed his hunting with his younger brother Edward as well, as these photos depict.
George was particularly fond of his granddaughter, Alvis Jean, who was born to his son, George, Jr and wife, Eleanor. I have several photos showing Alvis with her grandpa and I have been told that he was particularly fond of this child.

and son, George Wellhausen, Jr.

Tragically, Alvis would pass away at the age of 5, and I have been told that her death greatly affected George, perhaps contributing to his own death a few years later.
George Wellhausen passed away on April 8, 1938 in Utica, MI and is buried with his wife, Amelia, in Utica Cemetery, Utica, MI.
Following George's death, my uncle asked his grandmother if he could have his grandfather, George's, car which he desperately wanted. George had taught his grandson, Melbourne, how to drive and had let him drive this car around their property on different occasions. Amelia agreed to sell the car to Melbourne for $300 but not until Melbourne had proved to her that he had the money readily available. We have had some laughs about that remarking "that definitely sounds like great-grandma!"
A few years ago, my uncle, Melbourne, submitted the story about his purchase of his first car, along with a photo, to Reminisce Magazine who selected the story and photo for their yearly calendar. He was mighty proud of this selection and the memories of his grandfather that this evoked.
