Blue Flag Root
Veterinarian Reviewed on June 15, 2012 by Paulina Nelega, RH
Posted in Uncategorized
Blue Flag Root
Blue Flag (Iris versicolor) is also called Harlequin Blueflag, Dragon Lily, Poison Flag, Northern Blue Flag and also Larger Blue Flag. It is an herb that can grow up to 80 cm in height and blooms during the months of May to July every year. The leaves of the Blue Flag are folded and the flowers may be colored from blue to deep blue. It is native to North America and is also cultivated in many places around the world.
The Blue Flag is the flower of the province of Quebec in Canada. The Blue Flag root is just one of the many parts of the Blue Flag herb that is used in medicinal purposes. It contains iridin, a glycoside that is beneficial in the treatment of liver problems and also to expel intestinal parasites.
History and Origin
The Blue Flag's name is derived from the beautiful and colorful blue petals that the flower has. Although it may also be seen in other prominent colors, the bluish variety seems to be the most admired making it the provincial flower of Quebec. It has been noted in the U.S. Pharmacopoeia regarding the many medicinal purposes that this herb has.
Ancient Uses
The Blue Flag root, along with the other parts of the Blue Flag herb, was used during the ancient times as a poultice effective for the treatment of cuts, wounds and burns. The Native American tribes were the first to use the Blue Flag root in herbal preparations. The Blue Flag root was either used fresh or dried and applied directly onto the part affected.
Modern Uses
During modern times, the Blue Flag root is used to treat diseases of the liver due to its rich source of iridin. It not only treats illnesses of the liver but also improves liver action and the secretions of bile. Blue Flag root taken as tea can be an effective laxative, diuretic and as an emetic.
The Blue Flag root is also effective as a topical medicine; it can reduce inflammation of the skin and may decrease the symptoms of skin infections. It is also great in treating burns, bruises and wounds.
Research in the effectiveness of Blue Flag root has also led to the conclusion that it is effective in the treatment of chronic rheumatism and also in reducing the size of non malignant tumors. It is also a blood cleanser and can benefit the lymphatic system as well.
Side Effects
Blue Flag root supplements and preparations are not intended for use by pregnant and breastfeeding mothers. It is also not recommended for use with very young children. Fresh Blue Flag root can cause nausea, vomiting and severe cases of diarrhea, so trust a reputable herbal medicine dealer when taking Blue Flag root supplements.
Your doctor or herbalist can advise the ideal dosage that you should take, and can also advice you of any adverse effects of Blue Flag root with any of the current medications that you may be taking. Always follow the correct dosage and package instructions to get all the benefits of Blue Flag root extracts and dietary supplements.

Iran and Egypt – whose new Islamist leaders are under pressure to build closer ties with the Palestinians at the cost of a 30-year peace deal with the Jewish state – led the angry protests against strikes that left at least 19 dead.
"The Israelis must understand that we do not accept this aggression, which can only lead to instability in the region," Egypt's President Mohamed Morsi said in televised remarks.
Iran – accused by Israel of being the Gaza militants' main supplier of rocket power – branded the Israeli strikes as "organised terrorism" conducted by "criminal … Zionist (Israeli) military forces".
Tehran called on the United Nations and the European Union to halt the "barbaric" offensive against the Gaza Strip.
"Immediate and serious action by international [organisations] is needed to end the military campaign against the people of Gaza," foreign minister Ali Akbar Salehi said in a statement carried by the official IRNA news agency.
The call was made in separate letters to UN chief Ban Ki-moon, EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton and Organisation of Islamic Cooperation secretary general Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, IRNA reported.
And the increasingly influential Arabian Peninsula state of Qatar warned starkly that the "vicious attack [on Gaza] must not pass unpunished" and demanded urgent action at the United Nations.
Concern, calls for restraint from world leaders
An emergency UN meeting concluded Wednesday without a decision and clear signals of concern over the first escalation of Middle East violence since the 2011 Arab Spring altered the political map of the historically volatile region.
On Thursday, the United States called on Egypt, Turkey and European powers to press Hamas to end bloodshed in Gaza, putting the onus on the Islamist movement to end rocket attacks on Israel.
The White House said it was in close contact with Israel about its military campaign into the Hamas-controlled territory, in a conflict that officials said has killed 16 Palestinians and three Israelis.
British Prime Minister David Cameron told Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu he was "extremely concerned" by violence in Gaza and urged him to do all he could to avoid civilian casualties.
French President Francois Hollande meanwhile held talks with Morsi on the phone, expressing France's "deep concern" and calling for "restraint", the president's office said.
He "stressed the role Egypt could play to cut the tensions", adding: "All efforts by the international community must converge to avoid any unilateral initiative and any provocation that could worsen the situation."
Turkish foreign minister Ahmet Davutoglu called the Israeli offensive a "crime against humanity", Anatolia news agency reported, adding that he had spoken with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton about ways to lower the tension in the region.
Russian President Vladimir Putin urged both Netanyahu and the Palestinians to avoid escalating the violence as Moscow worried about the fighting spreading to other regions of the volatile Arab world.
"The president of Russia called on the parties to exercise restraint and avoid the path of escalating violence, whose victims include civilians, and to do everything to return the situation to its normal course," the Kremlin said, following a telephone conversation between Putin and Netanyahu.
But Moscow also criticised the "disproportionate strikes on Gaza" while calling for cooler heads.
US 'supports Israel's right to defend itself'
Washington meanwhile rose to the Jewish state's defencedespite earlier signs of strains in relations between US President Barack Obama and the conservative Netanyahu.
Expressing regret for the victims on both sides of the conflict, White House spokesperson Jay Carney said there was "no justification" for the violence on the part of Hamas, saying it "does nothing to help the Palestinians".
US state department spokesperson Mark Toner said in a statement: "We support Israel's right to defend itself, and we encourage Israel to continue to take every effort to avoid civilian casualties."
The United States is also calling on Egypt to use its sway with the Palestinians to try to end the violence from Gaza, Toner said.
French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said it was "time to end this dangerous escalation", adding that Paris was involved in "intense diplomatic activity to lower tensions".
"France will do everything to avert an escalation," he told journalists at the French embassy in Berlin where he was visiting.
The tit-for-tat attacks and prospects of a possible ground invasion of Gaza prompted Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to cut short a tour of Europe aimed at winning support for his attempts to upgrade his territory's UN status next month.
But much of the diplomatic attention this week has focused instead on the response to the tensions by Egypt — a powerbroker in the conflict for decades whose peace deal with Israel has come under growing pressure in recent months.
Morsi speaks out
Morsi has crafted a new vision for his country since assuming office in June that involves a mix of backing for traditional Arab causes and an effort to remain on cooperative terms with the West.
The new Egyptian leader said that he told Obama by telephone that he was not able to condone attacks that were killing innocent Palestinian civilians in one of the most densely-populated regions on earth.
Israel has also confirmed that Egypt was withdrawing its ambassador to the Jewish state in protest over the air raids.
"Shortly before dawn, I called President Obama and we discussed the need to put an end to this aggression and to ensure it does not happen again," said Morsi.
"I explained Egypt's role, Egypt's position, that we have relations with the United States and the world, but at the same time we totally reject this aggression," the Egyptian leader stressed.
Egyptian Prime Minister Hisham Qandil will visit the Gaza Strip on Friday, Gaza's Hamas government said. -– Sapa-AFP

HDS seals for metals
High performance and low lubrication costs
The elastomeric outside diameter provides good protection of the housing bore and reduces the risk of damage during installation or removal. The springless lip seal's ability to retain grease means increased performance and reduced operational costs. By pumping contaminants away from the lip, it also helps seal life and preserves the condition of lubricant and bearing.

Press Status
Press Freedom Score (0 = best, 100 = worst)
Legal Environment(0 = best, 30 = worst)
Political Environment(0 = best, 40 = worst)
Economic Environment(0 = best, 30 = worst)
Freedom of the press is protected under the constitution, and Salvadoran journalists are generally able to report freely. Critical reporting on the government and opposition parties is for the most part permitted. On September 8, 2011, the Legislative Assembly approved amendments to the criminal code to decriminalize slander, libel, and defamation, replacing punishments of jail time with fines and suspensions for journalists who commit crimes against public image and privacy. Limits were also established to prohibit excessive levels of compensation. The law was officially published in December. Draft laws on the right of reply were under consideration by the National Assembly at year's end.
While press freedom is hindered by a lack of public transparency, the National Assembly ratified the Access to Public Information Law in March. However, Salvadorans will have to wait until 2012 to use the new law to solicit official requests for information.
Although El Salvador is generally a safe place to practice journalism, there are still sporadic threats and acts of violence against journalists, especially in the provinces. In April 2011, Canal 33 cameraman Alfredo Antonio Hurtado Núñez was shot to death by alleged gang members while riding a bus in Ilopango in the department of San Salvador. Hurtado had previously reported on gang violence and had allegedly received threats prior to his death. Two gang members were arrested for his murder in September and awaited trial at year's end. In a victory against impunity, 11 men were convicted in March for the 2009 murder of Christian Poveda, a Franco-Spanish documentary filmmaker. Poveda had also documented gang violence in El Salvador. Journalists with Radio Victoria, a community radio station in the northern department of Cabañas that has been supporting environmental activists in their opposition to a Canadian company's local gold-mining operations, continued to receive death threats in 2011.
While there are four daily newspapers, each with an estimated circulation of 250,000, most of the country depends on privately owned television and radio networks for news. In July 2011, President Mauricio Funes announced proposed legal reforms to state media that would increase their autonomy and independence from political influence. Limited resources prevent many media outlets from producing to their full capacity, and self-censorship is often exercised to avoid offending media owners, editors, and government officials. According to the UN special rapporteur for freedom of expression, there is little access to community radio stations due to the bidding method used to grant radio frequencies.
Access to the internet was limited to 18 percent of the population in 2011. There were no reported government restrictions on the internet, and online newspapers such as El Faro provided independent, investigative journalism.

Both sides of the Durbin Act have been taking their swipes on the interchange fee decision from the Fed for months.
Retailers have been vocal against the high swipe fees because they said the fees would add to the product prices, and if the fees were lower, they could pass along those savings to consumers translating into lower prices.
Well, its been a little over two months since the Durbin Act has been implemented, so how are consumers fairing? The Electronic Payment Coalition (EPC) which represents credit card giants, MasterCard , Visa, Capital One , Wells Fargo and the regional and independent bankers tracked the prices of products starting a week before the act was implemented to the beginning of December. Can a trade group for credit card issuers really be trusted?
Trish Wexler, spokesperson of EPC argued why this study is not biased.

Egypt's emergency law -- which was in place for more than 30 years -- has been lifted, a spokesman for the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces said Thursday.
The unpopular and wide-ranging law became a focal point for demonstrations demanding the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak more than a year ago.
The emergency law gave authorities broad leeway to arrest citizens and hold them indefinitely without charges, according to Human Rights Watch. It was first enacted in 1958.
Although it was suspended during the rule of President Anwar Sadat, it had been in place since Mubarak took power in 1981, according to the group.
Abolishing the emergency law was on top of the lists of demands announced by pro-democracy protesters during the 2011 uprising.
The law was partially suspended by the country's military rulers early this year, but critics said that move didn't go far enough.
Human Rights Watch urged Egypt's new parliament to act Wednesday, saying it had "an opportunity to close an abusive chapter in Egypt's history" by ending all measures related to the law when its current extension expired Thursday.
"The Egyptian parliament should make sure that this state of emergency, a hallmark of Hosni Mubarak's abusive police state, has no future," Joe Stork, deputy Middle East director at Human Rights Watch, said in an online statement.
"Parliament should also initiate a comprehensive investigation into human rights violations that flourished under the emergency law, and the public prosecutor should make sure that the key people responsible for systematic torture and enforced disappearance are prosecuted."
The rights group quotes the Muslim Brotherhood's presidential candidate, Mohamed Morsi, as saying Tuesday: "There is no going back to the state of emergency, we do not need the state of emergency ... the existing laws are sufficient."
Morsi is one of two candidates who made it through a first round of voting this month. He will face former Prime Minister Ahmed Shafik in a June 16-17 runoff vote.
The head of Egypt's ruling military council, Hussein Tantawi, announced the partial suspension of the emergency law in January. But opposition figures said the suspension was simply a sop to appease protesters.
The suspension did not include crimes by "thugs" who commit acts of violence against citizens or use weapons to destroy public and government property, officials said.

VIII NEW YORK, APRIL, 1925 No. 4 Theft Preventives JAMES RANDOLPH SMITH, as he may be called instead of by his own name, fell by the wayside through yielding to the temptation of using money which did not belong to him. His story is the typical one of youth, a quest for thrills, the lure of bright lights, and lack of means of his own with which to gratify his immoderate desires. Secure in the confidence of his employers, entrusted with considerable sums of money, not under bond, and surrounded by all the opportunity which could have been provided, the fall from grace almost might have been predicted. From the standpoint of the employer, there are two phases of that class of employment which involves fiduciary integrity. One phase concerns the moral side and falls in the field of social economics into which, in his latter years, that great economist, John Stuart Mill, was irresistibly drawn. The other phase has to do with reducing business risk in a coldblooded manner, which ignores sentiment as if there were no such thing. The principle is well settled, that risk of loss from pecuniary lapses of those who handle funds is minimized when such employes are surrounded with all the safeguards known to modern organization and management. The question of whether or not an employer has a duty to reduce the opportunity for dishonesty, of course, is open to argument. The ethical question of duty as a moral issue need not be debated and settled in order to give practical effect to the merit which is found in the idea. Means which circumscribe opportunity for artifice and wrongdoing automatically remove temptation to the degree that the means are sound in theory and effective in application. The device of bonding employes has the dual advantage of compensating the employer in case of loss and restraining the employe from hazarding his right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness by going wrong. Thoughtful planning of accounting control as it approaches the ideal diminishes the opportunity for moral defection. The person who sees no chance of stealing without the likelihood of being immediately detected is not apt to steal. Precautions of organization and system, and protective measures, irrespective of the motive which prompts their installation, accomplish a two-fold purpose. They tend to prevent loss from theft. They lessen, if not remove, temptation. Whether temptation is made a matter of primary or of secondary consideration is immaterial. If the removal of temptation is an incident to the desired result, qualms of conscience which anyone might have on the subject would be satisfied. The important desideratum is to prevent loss from theft.

Here's an excerpt from a recent article/interview between Andrew Moran of ResortsandLodges.com and Jeffrey Siegel, founder of the Bagel Festival:
"Monticello New York , the birthplace of the bagel, and official bagel capital of the world, is becoming known not only for the quaint charm of the town, but for the annual Bagel Festival. That's right, Bagel Festival. The world wide food commodity has become the centerpiece of an annual event in New York's Catskills, and a piece of the pride and joy of a community. With over 5,000 attendees at the 1st event last year, crowds are expected to triple this August, to over 15,000. I had the chance to talk with Jeff Siegel, the mastermind behind the Bagel Festival, and locally born and raised member of the community. I asked Jeff how such a festival came to be, what the festival is like today, and what a nationally recognized weekend means to a community like Monticello."

- Tandoori Style Halibut Recipe
Prepare the yogurt marinade
In a shallow glass or ceramic dish just large enough to hold the halibut fillets in a single layer, stir together the yogurt, lemon juice, ginger, onion, garlic, cumin, turmeric, coriander, allspice, cayenne and salt. Add the halibut to the marinade and turn to coat.
Cook the fish
Meanwhile, prepare a medium-hot fire in a grill and oil the grill rack. Or, preheat a broiler.
Remove the halibut from the marinade, discarding the marinade. Place the halibut on the grill rack, or put the fish on a baking sheet and place under the broiler. Cook, turning once, until opaque throughout, 8 to 10 minutes total. Spoon the rice onto 4 plates, top with the halibut and serve immediately. Serves 4.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jnbbender from 20 years right now They are a little pricey but you would never be able to tell they were that old. It's been 20 years since we purchased them, they've been scrubbed with steel wool sooo many times and still function great. Hold heat like you wouldn't believe. Plan on handing these down to the kids some day.Date published: 2019-10-15Rated 5 out of 5 by Angie from Amazing cookware After owning several different brands of cookware we decided to take the splurge & go with the AllClad. So very happy with our purchase. We chose the copper core 15pc set. I use & love every single piece. We have owned our set almost 8 years now & would never purchase any other brand. I love the weight, it gives a solid cooking surface. However, it's not too heavy for anyone to use. We added a set of the copper core nonstick pans to our set too. My husband & I are both extremely happy with this productDate published: 2017-11-29Rated 5 out of 5 by RBnMB from Great Customer Service from All-Clad I very recently bought this set and wanted to add an item that is not sold separately. I contacted All-Clad and they were fantastic and worked with me to get what I needed (wanted). I have heard a few not-so-great things about All-Clad's customer service so I wanted to be sure to share my experience. The pans themselves are obviously fantastic in so many ways, but this interaction with All-Clad made me quite happy with my purchase. And William Sonoma has always been a pleasure to purchase from. Happy cooking!Date published: 2015-09-21Rated 5 out of 5 by Jannifer from Great Cookware I purchased this set over a year ago, use at least one pan a day. They all cook with great heat distribution. Bar Keeper's Friend is a must to keep them looking like new (easy to use.) I still say outloud on a weekly basis "I love my pans" and have no regrets having paid the price, they are worth every penny spent. High grade stainless steel with nothing flaking off into the food, even distribution of heat for cooking and beautiful.Date published: 2015-07-25Rated 5 out of 5 by Bill494 from Worth every penny These pots and pans make cooking even more fun. Their weight and construction seem amazing.Date published: 2015-04-03Rated 5 out of 5 by PeatMoss from Never Buy Another Set of Cookware! The 15-piece All Clad Copper Core Cookware is the perfect starter set for the serious cook. I purchased this set over a year ago and it still looks brand new. Each piece is visually appealing and clean up is a breeze; especially when using Bar Keeper's Friend. In terms of performance, the copper core center allows for even cooking with no hot spots. Remember to heat the pan first then add oil to prevent foods from sticking. I'll NEVER need to purchase another set of cookware. Make the investment.Date published: 2013-07-27Rated 5 out of 5 by tennisfool from Great Pots As a first time user of All clad, but a long time cook as well as an R.D. I spent a lot of time researching the best pots to buy. I am very satisfied with the products made using these pots. I have an induction cook top and every pot/pan I have used has cooked quickly and evenly. This clean up is also easy and not difficult at all.Date published: 2013-01-24

The Client:
In this discussion, the client is engaged in what is currently
referred to as "old line factoring" as well as commercial
financing. In old line factoring, the factor enters
into an agreement with a manufacturer to purchase receivables
arising from the sale of the manufacturer's
product. The receivables are usually purchased at "factor's
risk", which means that the factor has assumed the
credit risk and has no recourse to the manufacturer for
uncollectible accounts. Sometimes, receivables are purchased
at "manufacturer's risk", which means that
uncollectible accounts are charged back to the manufacturer;
in this instance the factor acts primarily as a
collection agent. The factoring fee, of course, is considerably
lower than that charged under a "factor's risk"
Under a commercial financing agreement, the factor
advances funds to the manufacturer secured by a pledge
of the manufacturer's receivables. The manufacturer performs
all of the collection work and remits the actual
checks received from his customers directly to the factor.
In commercial financing the credit risk is assumed by
the manufacturer.

periodic internal audits. The internal audit encompasses

Hot rodders have known about the power of the Gen III/IV for quite some time, and it's not news to anyone that they're being dropped into just about everything. They're so popular, in fact, that many engine shops now report that conventional builds are on the decline. That sounds downright wacky at first, but think about it for a short while and it makes perfect sense. Not only can you make 650-plus streetable horsepower with an LS small-block these days, but you can build them as large as 500 ci. Throw in the weight and handling benefits of an all-aluminum platform, especially in Pro Touring projects, and the swap appeal of these motors becomes quite obvious.
Whether plans call for a 9,000-rpm screamer or a stock salvage yard score, swapping an LS motor into classic Bow Tie muscle is easier than ever. Several aftermarket manufacturers offer engine mounts, headers, oil pans, and transmission crossmembers that make an LS retrofit a strictly bolt-on affair. Even so, there are lots of potential hiccups that can easily be avoided with a bit of research. Gen III/IV small-blocks rolled off the assembly line with a number of different front accessory drive, intake manifold, oil pan, and throttle-body designs, all of which can affect how smoothly your swap progresses. To get to the bottom of it all, we had a chat with Marc Lewis of Hedman Hedders, Liz Miles of Hooker Headers, and Mark Campbell of Street and Performance. Here's their advice for a fruitful LS swap.
Marc Lewis: Swapping an LS motor into a muscle car used to require very expensive custom headers, but that's not the case anymore. The application list of Muscle Rods LS swap products manufactured by Hedman Husler Hedders is a virtual alphabet soup of iconic GM cars and trucks. Unlike some products that can be produced as a one-size-fits-all product, headers cannot. Header primary tubes are built using rigid, immovable tubes. When a manufacturer designs a set of headers, they must determine the most effective path to use for the tube routing, so they do not interfere with steering or suspension components, auxiliary engine/vehicle components, crossmembers, or chassis components. Change any of the variables in the engine compartment, and you risk hitting any number of items. This can bring your installation to a screeching halt. Although many installers like to use the gentle persuasion of a hammer to make a set of headers fit, this is not what most manufacturers intended for you to do. Not only will banging on your tubes negatively affect the performance you expect to gain from the headers, a beaten set of headers just doesn't look very good under the hood.
For the reasons mentioned above, Hedman Husler has invested countless hours developing its LS swap headers and motor mounts to ensure that they fit right in without any need for massaging. The R&D team at Husler's Georgia plant did this by bringing in specimen vehicles that matched the most frequently used setups. While on the racks, the Husler designers develop mid-length and long-tube headers in a variety of diameters, as well as companion motor mounts and transmission crossmembers. The Hedman Husler guys basically did all the trial-and-error work before the parts ever hit the market. These headers are currently in production for Chevy Tri-Five and X-frame cars, as well as A-, B-, F-, G- and X-bodies. We also offer a range of headers for '67-98 two-wheel-drive GM half-ton trucks and SUVs.
Each series of Muscle Rods headers are available as mid-length headers with a ball-and-socket–style collector, or as full-length headers with a race-style collector. For those wanting to utilize headers that provide maximum power potential, full-length headers with stepped primary tubes are also available. Tube diameters range from 1.625- all the way up to 1.875x2-inch stepped tubes. Regardless of the tube style or diameter, the smooth, mandrel-bent Muscle Rods tubes provide performance that is far superior to cast LS manifolds or generic LS headers. The Husler R&D gurus went so far as to tune the primary tube lengths to work with the LS engine's timing curve. This added feature optimizes exhaust scavenging for maximum power potential. In fact, mid-length Muscle Rods models can add as much as 20-25 hp at the rear wheels, and full-length models can add as much as 45 hp. All Muscle Rods LS Swap headers are offered in a variety of finishes. LS guys can choose from raw mild steel headers that they can finish however they want, Hedman's HTC silver ceramic-metallic coating, or Husler's new Black Maxx ceramic-metallic finish.
Liz Miles: Hooker offers headers for several LS swap applications, and is constantly engineering new ones to add to this list. Currently, we have Super Competition LS swap headers for '55-57 Chevys, '67-69 Camaros, and '68-72 Chevelles. Coming soon are swap headers for second-generation Camaros as well. These headers feature 1.75-inch primaries, thick 5/16-inch flanges, 3-inch collectors, and 18-gauge steel tubing. To suit a wide variety of applications, Hooker headers are available in our traditional metallic ceramic coating, and our Darksides ceramic coatings. While our traditional metallic ceramic coatings are good for up to 1,300 degrees F, the Darksides' coating can withstand temperatures up to 1,700 degrees. This makes it an excellent choice for forced-induction and nitrous applications. Additionally, soon to be released are our new cast-iron exhaust manifolds for use with the E-rod crate engine, or any other application where space, simplicity, or a nostalgic look is desired."
Mark Campbell: After retrofitting an LS motor into the engine compartment, the next step is figuring out how to support the transmission. F- and X-bodies, Tri-Fives, and '58-64 fullsize Chevys typically require an aftermarket crossmember in order to use a late-model GM trans. Fortunately, they are available turnkey from a number of manufacturers, including Street and Performance. On the other hand, Chevelles and late-model Caprices can use a stock crossmember. All you have to do is slide the crossmember back on the framerails, and lower or raise it to get the driveshaft angle correct. We usually recommend a driveshaft angle of -0.5 to 2 degrees. Otherwise, you'll have driveshaft problems and wear out the U-joints.
Engine Mounts
Liz Miles: Hooker's engine mount plates are built to be a simple, strong, and aesthetically pleasing way to easily mount an LS small-block in a muscle car. The Hooker engine swap plate bolts to the LS motor, and a standard small-block Chevy engine mount bolts to our plate. This approach eliminates much of the fabrication work required with such swaps. Built from 3/8-inch hot rolled steel, they feature counter-sunk machine screws and a durable zinc coating. Hooker's LS engine mount plates come in a large assortment of configurations to cover a wide range of applications. The plates can position the motor in the stock location, but we also offer plates that relocate the motor 0.5, 1.25, and 3 inches forward. We even cover G-bodies with our clamshell-style mounts. LS cylinder heads extend all the way to the bellhousing mounting surface while Gen I engines have about an inch of space. This needs to be considered when selecting the plates.
Oil Pans
Mark Campbell: As with any engine swap, oil pan clearance can be an issue when retrofitting LS motors into muscle cars. For cars that require a rear sump, the factory fourth-gen F-body pan is a popular choice. For cars that require a front sump, the '04-06 GTO pans are the way to go. The nice thing about the F-body pan is that it will fit inside a '58-64 fullsize Chevy without any modifications. The pan will also fit Tri-Fives, Chevelles, and Camaros, but this requires removing about 2 inches from the front edge of the sump in order to clear the draglink. F-body pans can also be used on G-bodies, as long as the crossmember is notched. The factory LH8 pan works in cars that have lots of ground clearance, but it probably won't work in a lowered muscle car. When modifying a stock pan, the cuts must be made as cleanly as possible to avoid leaks when it's TIG welded back up. We offer this service for $243, but with these pans becoming harder to find, it might be worth it to buy an aftermarket pan that already has the necessary clearance. Street and Performance is currently developing oil pans for LS swap applications for A-, F-, and G-bodies, and X-frame cars.
Liz Miles: With LS swaps becoming more and more popular, these engines are finding their way between the fenders of more early cars than ever. Unfortunately, the factory LS passenger car pan has a tapered shape that doesn't always clear the crossmember. Likewise, the sump of the stock truck pan hangs too low. To offer hot rodders a superior alternative, the Holley LS Retrofit Oil Pan emulates the traditional rear-sump arrangement, but we designed it for maximum ground and chassis clearance. Since it's cast aluminum, it retains the strength and superior sealing surface of the factory pan. The six-quart capacity comes with the correct pickup and baffle to fully take advantage of the new pan's shape. It also retains the oil filter and cooler port locations and uses the factory seals.
Front Accessories
Mark Campbell: The three most commonly used front accessory drive systems in LS swap applications are off of factory fourth-gen Camaros, C5 Corvettes, and Vortec trucks. The factory A/C compressor is quite bulky, and mounts on the lower passenger side. This usually creates interference with the K-member or control arms. On the driver side of the motor, the power steering pump and alternator can cause clearance issues. Fortunately, none of these obstacles are difficult to overcome. The F-body and Corvette accessory drives will fit into most older Chevys without a problem. The Corvette drive system works well on Tri-Fives as well as C2, C3, and C4 Corvettes. When it's used in Tri-Fives, the motor needs to be moved up about 3/4 inch to clear the draglink, or the car can be converted to a rack-and-pinion setup. The F-body accessory drive fits inside Novas, first-gen Camaros, and G-bodies very well. The LS1 GTO accessory drive is another option, but since it has a big alternator, swapping in a smaller unit is often required. Since the alternator on the Vortec truck accessory drive sits so high, it will only fit in cars with lots of hood clearance like '58-64 X-frame cars.
That said, small modifications can go a long way. For example, if the A/C compressor hits the K-member, an easy fix is notching the crossmember or running a smaller compressor.
Liz Miles: The Holley Dominator EFI system was built with the LS-series engine in mind. It uses all of the same inputs and outputs as a factory LS engine so it can easily be adapted to our EFI system. The software allows for nearly infinite adjustment in an extremely user-friendly format. It controls the LS engine's injectors, ignition, and electronic automatic transmission. It can also read and tune GM's drive-by-wire throttle body for exact control. Holley's tuning software allows you to be as specific as you like while giving you set-it-and-forget-it ease with its self-learning programming. We carry LS engine wiring harnesses, perfect for a swap vehicle where you're starting from scratch. If you don't need drive-by-wire or transmission control, we also offer our HP EFI units with LS harnesses.
Trans Tunnel Clearance
Mark Campbell: Late-model transmissions like the Tremec T56 and GM 4L60E will fit most Chevy muscle cars without a problem. Rumor has it that you have to cut up the trans tunnel, but that simply isn't true. For instance, trans tunnel clearance is very tight on a Chevelle, but you can still fit a T56 without any cutting. The reverse lockout solenoid is what usually causes clearance problems in these cars. When it comes to fitting a trans inside the tunnel, you just have to use the right motor mounts and the correct driveshaft angle to get everything positioned properly.
Swap Bundles
Marc Lewis: All of Hedman's Muscle Rods headers are built in conjunction with vehicle- and transmission-specific motor mounts and transmission crossmembers. When choosing these mounts for use with LS swap headers, it is important to choose the conversion kit that is specific not only to your vehicle, but the transmission you plan on using as well. Regardless of the application, our R&D team made sure that all mounts and headers allow the engine and transmission to be set with the recommended 3- to 5-degree pinion angle. In addition to the headers themselves, Hedman's LS conversion kits come complete with a full set of engine mounts that are manufactured using 1/4-inch cold-rolled steel plate, polyurethane bushings, and Grade 8–hardened mounting hardware. Also included is a complete transmission crossmember that features thick-wall construction, a polyurethane transmission mount, and hardened Grade 8 hardware. To protect the components from the elements, and to make them look sharp, all mounts and crossmember components are given a hearty, silver powdercoated finish. Muscle Rods LS Conversion kits are very application specific. For example, four conversion kits are available for '68-72 A-bodies, depending on whether your vehicle is a coupe or convertible, and whether you are using a manual or automatic transmission.
Clutch and Shifter
Mark Campbell: With most LS swaps where a T56 transmission is used, the shifter location is right where you want it. Street and Performance offers relocation kits that can move the shifter 2 to 4 inches forward. However, the only instances where they are necessary are when you're trying to get the shifter to line up into a factory center console. Without a console, you rarely have to move the shifter. As for the clutch linkage, for the sake of simplicity we recommend using the stock hydraulics and pedal assembly. That way, it's a completely bolt-in affair, and all you have to do is hook up the hydraulics to the stock pedal in the new car.
LS Fest
Liz Miles: Recognizing the popularity of LS swaps, we wanted to give these enthusiasts a place to meet and share what they have done with their cars. As a result, we created the Holley LS Fest, which is a three-day-long event held in September at Beech Bend Raceway Park in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The event includes drag racing, an autocross, a speed-stop challenge, a car show, a dyno challenge, a drift challenge, and a cruise. We know the LS engine is hot for many reasons, and we wanted to show consumers that Holley is serious about the LS market. The more we expose people to the possibilities of this incredible engine, the more encouraged we all become to build them with more power, more efficiency, better looks, and uniqueness. We also wanted to create an event that was packed with action. Obviously the LS engine is being swapped into a lot of vehicles, so we wanted to show it how it's done in real time with the Engine Swap Challenge. In this event, two teams square off to see how quickly they can swap an LS engine into their car and get it running. The first team to fire it up wins an LS crate motor.
Throttle-Body Hookup
Mark Campbell: LS-series small-blocks came from the factory with both cable and electronically actuated throttle bodies. Hooking up a conventional cable throttle-body is easy enough and doesn't require much of an explanation. Likewise, when you're shopping for a motor to swap into your car, don't be put off by an electronic throttle body. All you need to get it to work in a retrofit application is the gas pedal out of the donor car, and the throttle actuator control (TAC) module. Just hook these items up, and an electronic throttle body will work perfectly in a swap application. CHP

In the future, biotechnology will play a significant role in the industrial manufacture of a multitude of products. On the basis of renewable raw materials, not only are environmentally-friendly and energy-saving procedures possible, but substances can also be manufactured biologically, whose synthesis is virtually impossible using chemical routes or only possible with a very great expense.
Fermentation products, such as
- Biomass and starter cultures
- Organic acids
- Platform chemicals/building blocks
- Enzymes and other proteins
- Fine chemicals
- Biopolymers
- Active ingredients in cosmetics
- Biopharmaceuticals
can be manufactured in FRINGS systems with particular efficiency. We are in the position to offer both standardised systems and customer-specific systems, which make it possible to minimise production costs, particularly for white biotechnology. However, if various products are to be manufactured with different technical procedural requirements in multi-purpose systems, we have special modular solutions for you which we are happy to show you.

Leupold Rifle Scopes – Leupold Superfriends
The Leupold Superfriends protected the Northern City from all the types of creatures that could come out of the forest to destroy the peaceful lives of its citizens. Once again, the calm evening at the Leupold Hall of Optics was shattered when the report came in from the frantic mayor." A monster deer is rampaging the city. Please help us with your ultra high performing optics, Leupold Superfriends!" he wrung his hands.
The Leupold Superfriends gathered around the display, watching the amazing forty story creature smash its antlers into the sides of buildings.
VX cracked his knuckles as he watched the destruction. "This deer thought it could sneak in under the cover of twilight, but it will be no match for my Xtended Twilight Lens System and Light Optimization Profile. He won't be able to hide from my huge field of view."
"That deer monster won't stand a chance against us," Rifleman agreed as he polished his Wide Duplex reticle. "It's smashing things, but we're accurate, durable, rugged and shockproof. No knocking us about cross country is going to take off our alignment. Right?" FX agreed while tapping on his virtually indestructible Diamond Coat 2 lens coating.
"To the Leupold Limo," cried Rimfire. "It won't stand a chance against our precision shots on small targets."
The Superfriends filled the limo, their uniforms an elegant mix of matte black, satin black, gloss black and silver. Ultralight, being lighter than everyone else, stuck his head out the roof while those who had Ballistics Aiming Systems were firing up for their accurate, long range shots. They were ready for the deer monster.
When they arrived at the docks, the deer monster had made a mess of everything. Windows were broken, cars were upside down, people were running and screaming. The Superfriends got out of their limo, and Shotgun/Muzzleloader got close to the deer monster. He was ideally suited for fast, close-range action. Deltapoint Reflex stood beside him, his motion sensor activated.
The deer monster screamed out a challenge, and smashed a bus. People ran in fear as steam billowed out of the deer monster's nostrils.
The Superfriends used their wide range of reticles and high performance optics to take out that deer. Handgun was fast and accurate, taking quick shots from around the corner of the smashed bus, while European-30 make quick metric shots, deadly into the deer's heart. Competition took up his post on the thirtieth floor and with his extreme magnification, made incredibly precise shots into the center of the deer monster's eye.
The deer monster was looking weakened. It screamed out a challenge that made the Superfriends cover their ears, and then it attacked them with its sharp hooves. It did a lot of damage. As they were about to fall back, Mark 4 showed up. His strengths of a red dot sight and flexibility of variable power made him good for everything from 50 to 700 meters to giant deer monsters. Tactical, dependable, with the reach and power and high performance of the Leupold Superfriends, the deer monster fell.
Once more, Leupold's Superfriends had saved the city.

NASHVILLE, Nov. 18 (UPI) -- Children with autism who are minimally verbal can learn to speak later than previously thought, and iPads can help that happen, a U.S. researcher says.
Ann Kaiser at Vanderbilt University's Peabody College of education and human development reported using speech-generating devices to encourage children ages 5 to 8 to develop speaking skills resulted in the subjects developing considerably more spoken words compared to other interventions.
"For some parents, it was the first time they'd been able to converse with their children," Kaiser said. "With the onset of iPads, that kind of communication may become possible for greater numbers of children with autism and their families."
With the availability of apps that use symbols, gestures, pictures and speech output, the iPad offers a more accessible and more user-friendly way to help minimally verbal children with autism to communicate, she said.
"When we say a word it sounds a little different every time, and words blend together and take on slightly different acoustic characteristics in different contexts," Kaiser said. "Every time the iPad says a word, it sounds exactly the same, which is important for children with autism, who generally need things to be as consistent as possible."
An additional benefit of using the iPad is that it is far less stigmatizing for young people with autism who rely on them for communicating with fellow students, teachers and friends, she said.

Spurs regroup, put Thunder on brink of eliminationMay 30, 2014 - 4:15 AM San Antonio, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - The Spurs will not have to answer any more questions about the 2012 Western Conference finals, not after Thursday's rout of the Thunder put them on the brink of another NBA Finals appearance.
San Antonio took the first two games in this series before dropping a pair in Oklahoma City, evoking similarities of two years ago when the Thunder ripped off four straight wins after going down 0-2 to become conference champs.
Those comparisons quickly ended when the Spurs made 13 3-pointers and had six players score in double figures in Game 5's 117-89 drubbing at AT&T Center.
"I think all the guys top to bottom were ready to go," Spurs star forward Tim Duncan said. "I think we were all focused, all in the moment, and we knew what we had in front of us, and just a great result from everyone."
Duncan led the way with 22 points and 12 rebounds, while Manu Ginobili carried a bench attack that outscored Oklahoma City's reserves by a wide 55-26 margin.
Ginobili scored 19 points, fellow reserve Boris Diaw netted 13 and Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard each had 14 for the Spurs, who are one win away from reaching the Finals for the second straight year.
After holding the Spurs to under 40 percent shooting in Games 3 and 4, the Thunder watched helplessly as San Antonio made 51.3 percent of its shots.
"We didn't have the defensive disposition that we've had the last two games," Thunder head coach Scott Brooks said. "We have to regroup and come back better in a few days."
Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook finished with 25 and 21 points, respectively, for Oklahoma City, a far cry from the duo's superb 71-point dual effort in Tuesday's victory.
Serge Ibaka was limited to six points and just two rebounds in the loss.
The home team has taken the first five games of this series, and the Thunder hope the trend continues Saturday in a must-win Game 6 in Oklahoma City.
"Obviously, it seems like the home court motivates both teams pretty well," Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich said. "They both look like they feel pretty comfortable playing at home."
All signs pointed towards a shootout when both teams came out and connected on over 56 percent of their shots in the first quarter.
Only the Spurs kept it going.
They made a tweak to their starting lineup with Matt Bonner getting his first nod of the season, and even though the sharpshooter was not a factor, the rest of the Spurs' reserves were instrumental in the strong start.
Three-pointers from Patty Mills and Green tied the game at 32-32 heading into the second, and Ginobili led the way in a one-sided second quarter with nine points on 4-of-4 shooting.
Ginobili's layup and 3-pointer had the hosts ahead by as many as 13 late in the half before Westbrook beat the buzzer with a deep make to pull Oklahoma City within 65-55.
The Spurs owned a 16-2 advantage in the paint in the second quarter, then capped the third on a 12-4 run to essentially put the game away.
With the score at 94-74 entering the fourth, both teams emptied their benches with Game 6 on the horizon.
Game Notes
The Spurs, who improved to 9-1 at home this postseason, have won their three games this series by an average of 26.7 points ... San Antonio won the battle in the paint, 40-36 ... Tony Parker totaled 12 points for the Spurs, while Oklahoma City's Reggie Jackson scored all 11 of his points in the first quarter.

By Nam Hari Kaur
The month of November is the breakthrough month for the year of 2013, and it could not have come at a better time. We are all presently going through a major shift in our life's circumstances, and now is the "turning point" time of release and regaining momentum.
2013 has felt like a long haul for many of us, and now is the time to "lay it all down by the riverside," as our Christian revivalist friends would sing.
The number 11 of November represents the issues of spiritual integrity and alignment of self with source energy, which we often call God. The stars in the heavens are with us on this one, and it will be easier than usual to connect and create new ventures of fortune. The most important thing to remember is, "I am now renewed, and I align with the new vision." Make a conscious effort to remind yourself that things can now begin to rapidly change for the better.
There is an aspect of relationships with the number 11, and now is a time where a definitive fork in the road appears for any relationship which has been wavering in its sustainability. This is actually a good thing, as it will allow for what is no longer maintainable to disintegrate, making that energy free and available for new connectivity.
It's all about new connectivity in November, and this is also an excellent month for marriage or starting a new business. Five particularly good days for initiation are the 1st, 5th, 11th, 23rd, and 29th.
Spiritual Challenge and Gift
Within the scope of every calendar year there is a spiritual challenge, and a spiritual gift. As we are approaching the end of 2013, it is important to have these two issues sorted out. The spiritual challenge of 2013 has largely been loving ourselves enough to create healthy boundaries in relation to our self-esteem, particularly in the areas of love, family, and community. The spiritual gift is a greater sense of self-worth, thereby attracting a higher quality and caliber of new relationships.
It is fair to say that these could be issues that someone could be working out at any point in their life, but the kicker has been the presence of the number 13 in the equation. Thirteen is the number of the double-edged sword, having both an intense positive and negative polarity. In the positive polarity 13 is the "Power of the Word," meaning what you say will happen. In the negative polarity it is judgment, criticism, and complaint.
Shifting into a Higher Octave
As we are presently in an 11 month, we can use the energy of this frequency to help break free of the old fears surrounding our final transformation. Karmic patterns can be broken at this time by chanting a prayer 11 times, or a mantra for 11 minutes. This is one of the lucky "less is more" time zones.
We can now break free from our parental or societal programming, and shift into a higher octave of our Soul's divine potential. A combination of conscious intention, exercise, and prayer/chanting is the right recipe for your release.
Ek Ong Kar Sat Gur Prasad
An especially effective mantra at this time is "Ek Ong Kar Sat Gur Prasad, Sat Gur Prasad Ek Ong Kar." This mantra has the power to turn the tide against any negative force you may face.
Walk Away from Power Struggles
Because the number 8 appears in the Base calculation this month, we will still be working through power struggles with those who have held us captive on some level. If you have been painted into a corner by someone you know, just pick yourself up and walk on out the door. Don't worry about the paint on your shoes, you really wanted a new pair anyway.
As a child, which was back in the days of black and white television, I remember a board game called "Barbie Queen of the Prom." The theme of the game revolved around seeing which young man you could get as a boyfriend so you could go to the high school prom. I hated this game, and I hated Barbie as well. Winning in this game required you to A: have a steady boyfriend, B: purchase and fit into a size 6 prom dress, and last but not least, C: become President of a school club. I personally call this the "Anorexia Trifecta," or, how to jump through hoops till you lose your self-worth.
One fine sunny day I decided I was not going to play this game anymore, even if I had to drum up new friends. Right in the middle of round three of the Barbie game I picked myself up and said, "I need to go home now." As I turned to walk out the door I could hear the cries of my friends saying, "But it's your turn!" Whisk, and away I went!
Make a Commitment to Your Spiritual Integrity
There comes a point in everyone's life where they need to decide what their time and energy is worth. The number 11 calls us forth to rise up to the higher octave of our intention and action. Nothing less than a commitment to one's own spiritual integrity, and to determination to stick with it, will work at this time. If you are willing to turn on a dime, and totally align, you'll be right on time. Okay now, it's your turn.

Asian stocks this well fell the most since November, as Apple Inc suppliers declined after the US tech giant reported its weakest sales since 2009 and some investors speculated shares may have risen too far, too fast.
Hon Hai Precision Industry (鴻海精密), which assembles iPads and iPhones for Apple, slid 2.3 percent to NT$83.40 in Taipei trading. Samsung Electronics Co fell to the lowest in almost two months in Seoul, as the world's largest maker of mobile phones said the strengthening won may cut operating profit by at least 3 trillion won (US$2.8 billion) this year. Sony Corp soared in Tokyo trading as the TOPIX posted its longest streak of weekly gains since January 1973, boosted by the yen's weakness against the US dollar.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index fell 0.7 percent to 131.74. Gains in Japanese shares limited declines on the broader pan-Asian benchmark as speculation the new government would take steps to end deflation pushed the TOPIX higher for an 11th week. The MSCI Asia Pacific excluding Japan Index dropped 0.8 percent.
"Markets are at highs and some investors are becoming cautious after everyone turned bullish on stocks," said Koji Toda, chief fund manager at Tokyo-based Resona Bank. "Most investors are still optimistic on the equity market. Just because markets are falling today doesn't mean they will continue to drop."
The MSCI Asia Pacific index, the benchmark regional equities gauge, surged to the highest level in 17 months on Tuesday. That left the measure trading at 14.3 times average estimated earnings compared with 13.6 for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index and 12.3 times for the STOXX Europe 600 Index, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
International investors are the most bullish on stocks in at least three-and-a-half years, with close to two-thirds planning to raise their holdings of equities during the next six months, according to a Bloomberg survey published on Tuesday. As the global financial and business elite gathered in Davos, Switzerland, for their annual forum, 53 percent of respondents to the Bloomberg Global Poll also said equities would offer the highest return in the next year.
Taiwan's TAIEX slid 0.8 percent this week to close at 7,672.58. While the index extended its losses on Friday, it garnered technical support as it approached 7,600 points and investors, with plenty of liquidity on their hands, pursued bargains, dealers said.
Select Taiwanese suppliers to Apple, in particular Hon Hai, also showed their resilience on Friday by outperforming the broader market, an indication that Apple's negative leads have largely been digested, they said.
"Look at Hon Hai. After a recent consolidation of the stock, investors were more willing to buy its shares to take advantage of the cheap valuation," Concord Securities (康和證券) analyst Kerry Huang said.
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 Index rose 1.3 percent this week, to the highest level since April 2011. The gauge advanced for the past eight days, its longest streak of advances in almost three years. Consumer prices last quarter rose at a slower-than-expected pact, a report showed on Wednesday, pushing down the Australian dollar and giving the central bank scope to reduce interest rates further.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index fell 0.1 percent and China's Shanghai Composite Index slid 1.1 percent. Singapore's Straits Times Index gained 1.8 percent.

I think the last one is coming out on Halloween.
I'm anticipating this one.
I bought the cd this summer
It's pretty good, I like the extra's too.
I've decided to reread the series, I've almost finished the Omnibus.
It's good to read once you know what the main characters look like.
When I first read the books I imagined Catherine O'Hara as the Aunt ad
Merrill Streep as the Judge b4 the movie came out and they just said who was acting in the movie, I guess I didn't read the details, then I saw the movie and realized my mistake, so in my mind I had to reverse the two
when I re-read the books again.
u might want to turn that 31 around. b/c right now it The End is due out on Friday the 13th.....for right now at least. it might get pushed back.
I am part of an elite group of people......THE MEN OF JCO.
(Standing member since July 18th, 2005)
You're probably right KC...
My thought was probably "Excellent, it will be out by Halloween"
That's probably why I got the # mixed up, thanks for th
now I'll have it read B4 Halloween.
Before is even Better.

text: cowdery Posted August 30, 2009 As archivist at the Filson Historical Society for the papers of E. H. Taylor, Jr., Mike Veach discovered that Taylor favored white corn, not yellow, and used 2 1/2 times the normal amount of barley malt -- about 25% malt. With 10% rye and the rest white corn, that was Taylor's mash bill. He distilled it to about 107 proof and put it in the barrel that way, aging it for about 8 years. The picture below, courtesy of Mark Brown, is that recipe, last week, in the micro-distillery fermenters at Buffalo Trace. The first batch of the new Old Taylor has started its journey.

Sailor Caught Selling Top Secret Docs to Undercover Agent
Hey, military people leaking sexy secret documents: Your counterparty could be an undercover federal agent who'll arrest you! So it went with petty officer Bryan Minkyu Martin, who's now in custody at Fort Bragg after a transaction gone awry.
So here we have a 22-year-old petty officer at Fort Bragg, who enlisted in 2006 and was granted "top secret" security clearance for Afghanistan war intelligence one year later — as in, when he was 19. Again, how shocking that with a million people being granted top-secret access these days, combined with the Power of the Internet, information gets around.
Unless you get stung in the process, like Bryan Minkyu Martin did:
The sailor, petty officer Bryan Minkyu Martin, was taken into custody at Ft. Bragg in North Carolina but has not yet been charged, according to a spokesperson for the investigative service.
According to the affidavit, Martin sold 51 pages of "secret" and "top secret" documents to an FBI undercover agent posing as a representative of an unnamed foreign government.
He was paid $2,000 for the documents, according to the affidavit
A foreign government? As in, an entity with formidable purchasing power? Cashing out at $2,000 makes him only slightly better a negotiator than Barack Obama.
