Jimmie Dale Rodgers
1937 to 2016
Jimmie Dale Rodgers, beloved sweetie, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend, went to be with the Lord on April 10, 2016 at St. Vincent Hospital in Billings, Mont.
Jim was born Oct. 20, 1937 to Anna and Ralph Rogers in Julesburg, Colo. Jim was raised in Sidney and as a young man enlisted into the United States Navy. Jim served his country in that capacity from 1955 to 1958 aboard U.S.S. Essex. Jim married his first wife, Alice Phillips, in 1959 in Sidney and the two of them gave birth to a son, John Rodgers. Jim and Alice later divorced and Jim met Cheryl Gunyan and they were married on Feb, 10, 1962, in Rock Springs, Wyo. The two of them gave birth to a daughter, Kari Rodgers. Jim and Cheryl divorced in 2000 and Jim spent the remainder of his life together with Lorraine Chapman.
Jim was a hard worker his entire life starting out as a young boy with his own shoe shine business, later as a young man, Jim was a golden gloves boxer, then went on to own V1 Gas Station in Rock Springs prior to moving to Gillette in 1968. He also sold Christmas trees during the holiday season. Jim's Water Service began in 1968 and has been an important part of the oil and gas industry ever since. Jim's business ventures expanded over the years as he invested in pipeline, heavy construction, hotels, gas stations, coal bed methane, rail yards and real estate. Jim prided himself on his work ethic and the ability he had to turn a little money into a lot of money. Most mornings Jim could be found enjoying coffee with his friends at Village Inn. Jim especially enjoyed the company of his large family and the small children that constantly surrounded him. He enjoyed the times when the entire family could be together and could always make everyone laugh. In addition to his family, Jim mostly enjoyed his work, his trucks and even the occasional John Wayne movie.
Jim is survived by his Love Lorraine Chapman, his beloved son John Rodgers and his wife Myrna, his loving daughter Kari Rodgers, grandchildren Clay (Marcie) Rodgers (Lillie and Rilynn); Craig (Michelle) Rodgers (Tucker and Blakely); Lacy Rodgers, Chelsey (Patrick) Robison (Rivers); and Paige Fortner (Boston and Audrey).

Tirukoilur promises solace and succour to spiritual seekers.
Tirukoilur, located within the spiritual aura of Arunachala, the hill of the holy beacon, beckons spiritual seekers, promising solace and succour.
This area, where the Vaamanaavataara is said to have taken place, is known for its divine bards, revered saints, spiritual ambience, ancient shrines, and Vijayanagara architecture. Peace and tranquillity reign supreme in Tirukoilur.
The meeting of the MudalAlwars (Poygai, Bhutamand Pey) in the house of sage Mrigandu in Tirukoilur is well known. This holy town has also the samadhis of three revered saints Sri RaghothamaTeertha of the SrimadUttaradi Mutt (1557-1596), Swami GnananandaGiri, a Mahayogi and Gnanasiddha, who attained salvation in 1974, and GnaniyarSwamigal, founder of the Tirukoilur Tamil Sangam. The Sangam period poet Kapilar attained jeevanmukthi by fasting on a rock here, in the south Pennar river.
Tirukoilur is also the birthplace of renowned personalities such as the first Raja RajaChola's mother Vanavanmaadevi, Tamil poet-scholar AthiMadhuraKaviraayan who lived during the period of KaviKalamegham, (13th century), King MeyporulNayanaar also known as MiladUdayar (seventh century) saint-poetKapila Deva Nayanaar, who authored the 11th Thirumurai, historical story writer Chandilyan...
Sri RaghottamaTheertha choseTirukoilur as his headquarters to spread the DwaitaSiddhanta in the country while GnananandaGiriSwamiji established `Tapovanam', to encourage the study of Vedanta. Also a Gnanasiddha, he cured diseases through his Siddha medicines. JeeyarMadom was founded here by Sree Emperumanaar to spread Vaishnavism during the 16th century.
The poet who wrote TirukoilurSathakam (a collection of 100 poems) KavimamaniUthiyan (38) is incidentally, the present president of the Tirukoilur Tamil Sangam. He has authored seven novels, 400 dramas and around 2000 poems. He is the Indian representative to the "World Tamil Poets Organisation" headquartered in Malaysia.
Unique are the temples here, so too the idols. The ten ft tall idol of VaradarajaPerumal in Manampoondi, built in stone during thePallava period is in meditating sitting posture. The p73 Sreedevi andBhoodevi idols are six ft tall; the Sthalapuranam reveals that both goddesses had meditated here. The Vamana idol in theUlagalandaPerumal Temple is one of the three such rare idols in the country. The second is in Srirangam, the third in Rishikesh. The Vishnu's idol in the UlagalandaPerumal temple is 16 ft tall. The Ten ft tall Sivalingamof thePallava period carved in stone, in the VellaiGanapathy temple is yet another attraction. The Rajagopuram of the Trivikrama Temple is the fourth largestheightwise in Tamil Nadu. The 1300 year old Siva temple stands as a memorial to the killing of Andhakaasura by Lord Siva. The marriage hall just outside the temple was constructed during the Vijayanagara period, in the 14th century. Ganesha, seated south west of this temple has been worshipped by poetess Avvayar (seventh century) "Seetha kamala poomporpada kamalam".
History reveals that one among the eight Veerateshwara (Siva) temples, in the country, is in Tirukoilur, also worshipped byAppar and Tirugnanasambandar and saints such as Arunagirinathar and RamanaMaharshi.
The Aathulyannatha temple (Siva) with Goddess Arul Nayaki built in the seventh century during the Pallava period is situated on the northern bank of the River South Pennar on a flattened rock. The Rajagopuram faces south while the main temple faces west. Five caves beneath and a temple tank are other features of this temple.
SrivilliputhurAlwar, lived here during the 14th century. Swami ShanathanandaSaraswathi had his schooling in Tirukoilur, before becoming the disciple of Swami GnananandaGiri, who directed him to take sannyas from the Himalayan sage Swami Sivananda.
Sanskrit scholar Krishna Premi predicts that Varadaraja Perumal at Manampoondi will have a great temple in the days to come. The idol is at present under a temporary shelter. The temple built in the eighth century is believed to have been destroyed in the 12th century by floods. Nowadays, poojas are offered on a daily basis.
The Tirukoilur Cultural Society has been conducting "KapilarVizha", an annual affair (May 1 to 4) with unabated regularity for the last 19 years.
"KapilaVaanar" title is also presented by the society to up and coming poets, annually. "With better roads, more informative literature in English, the Tourism Department can attract more tourists to Tirukoilur".

Category: Mission, Church Planting
Global revival happens by the work of the Holy Spirit. Thankfully the Lord has designated ways the local body can participate in His holy multiplication -- the primary means being sincere worship in existing, healthy church assemblies. By God's grace and mercy, we are made members of Christ's church, and the delight that flows from knowing the Savior who has secured that privilege for us prepares the ground for worship and evangelism.
As Robert Murray M'Cheyne said in The Believer's Joy: "We cannot speak of the hidden manna unless we have the taste of it in our mouth. We cannot speak of the living water unless it be springing up within us."
Chase Bowers and Scott Zellers explores more of kingdom-building, gospel-drenched missions and church planting in The Goal of Missions May Not Be What You Think, posted May 25, 2016, at The Gospel Coalition. (L.M.)
The Goal of Missions May Not Be What You Think
Chase Bowers & Scott Zeller
What happened on January 2, 1998, altered the course of my (Chase's) life.
Along with thousands of other college students, I attended the second Passion conference, which was then a new series of gatherings seeking to raise a banner for God's glory. I heard John Piper preach for the first time, and what he communicated about God's heart for the nations—specifically the idea that he was gathering for his fame a people from among all peoples—was paradigm-shifting for me.
Afterward I began digging into Piper's now-classic book on missions, Let the Nations Be Glad (Baker). It opens with groundshaking words:
Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn't. Worship is ultimate, not missions, because God is ultimate, not man. When this age is over, and the countless millions of the redeemed fall on their faces before the throne of God, missions will be no more.
This paragraph profoundly changed what I viewed as the goal of missions. Previously I'd assumed the goal of missions is the practice of missions: evangelism, church planting, and so on. But Piper pointed me to something bigger: the goal of missions is nothing less than the worship of God.

Things may seem unstable, busy and out of control at times.
However, we want to remind you how much power you have to create your own community.
It is easy to get sucked into the dramas of the news and the division of opinions. You may not be able to change the world, but who needs to? Individual choice is the only way to influence and improve the whole. Our daily habits and actions are what matter most.
This year we encourage you to support local whenever possible - whether that means calling up one of our partners for fresh food, or buying your coffee at a mom and pop instead of Starbucks. This keeps your money in the hands of families and neighbors instead of multi-billion dollar corporations.
We encourage you to connect with your community - get involved, come to our classes, make new friends who also are interested in bettering their lives and wellbeing. The more you connect with others the more you can relate, and maybe life won't seem so challenging!
Become a member, join our forces, and help us build a gathering space for all to enjoy. We want to make health and wellness easy and accessible instead of confusing and overwhelming. We believe that healthy, tight-knit communities means happy communities.
We invite you to get involved and help make this co-op dream a reality ~ whatever that means for you!
On the surface, the Elk River Area Food Co-op is a Member-Owned Grocery Store. But dig a bit deeper and you will find that our mission is to empower the community to work together and build a brighter, healthier, fairer future for all to enjoy. Whether it's the environment, our local economy, or the livelihood of our neighbors and friends - we believe that cooperation and support are the only tried and true means of living wholesome lives.
May 2018 be the most fulfilling year yet!

WASHINGTON (USA Today) — The long and winding road to the Supreme Court for President Trump's travel ban may require yet another detour as the White House prepares to revise or replace it.

Corporate housing is a term given to furnished apartments and hotels leased to companies and business travelers seeking a longer solution than a standard hotel, but shorter than most leases will allow from apartments. They are most often furnished with all the comforts of home including linens, a refrigerator, a microwave oven and dishes.
As Orlando has grown from its typical stereotype of a vacation destination into a major force as an economic powerhouse, hoteliers have taken notice. Understanding the needs of the business traveler is the first step in gaining their confidence and extended stay facilities have made it a point to cater to those needs. "We certainly appreciate the family vacation business that call our hotels home for a week or two and we work hard to earn their business, but you just can't ignore the sector of the market that is staying in Orlando while fulfilling the terms of his or her contract with a local Orlando business" Alan Chane, President of Home Suite Home said recently. www.homesuitehome.com
Extended stay facilities ability to cater to vacationers, business travelers, the transient workforce, and the transitional resident has made it a popular choice among all sectors.
Certainly price pays a consideration also. The average stay at an extended stay facility is under $200.00 a week, while the average hotel room in Orlando costs $96.00 a night.
Nationwide, a consulting company for the lodging industry reported almost 60,000 rooms that fit the criteria as corporate housing units in over 30 metropolitan areas. This represents an increase of 12% over the last 3 years.

The Campbell Spartan Ladies Track & Field team just completed their most successful season ever. The most state qualifiers in school history fought hard to a second place team finish in one of the closest and fiercest competitions the GHSA state track meet has seen. The team was led by now four-time state champion Alexis Jones. Alexis won the 100 meter hurdles AND the 300 meter hurdles this year and finished 2nd in the long jump by tie-breaker only, breaking a 7-year-old school record in the process. Freshman Ashton Lindley finished a close 2nd to her teammate in the 300 meter hurdles and finished 3rd in the 400 meter dash, one of the most anticipated races in this year's state meet as the top three finishers in that race are all ranked in the top ten NATIONALLY! Ashton also finished 4th in the long jump which is another of her many talents that will be on display for the next three years in GHSA Track & Field. Another talented Spartan, Rachel Robertson is now the state champion high jumper which was a surprise to some, but not to her coaches and teammates. She also finished 3rd in the triple jump, breaking her own school record along the way, an intense competition of very talented ladies from CHS, McEachern and Mill Creek. Going in to the last event of the meet, the 4×400 meter relay, the team scores were McEachern 63, Campbell 62, Westlake 61. The lady Spartan relay team of Makylah Jones, Alexis Jones, Ashton Lindley, and Rickia Stafford fought hard to a 2nd place finish in the event, pushing them past McEachern for a 2nd place team finish, the highest finish in school history. The other state qualifiers who made a huge impact on this season and will for a few seasons to come are Kirsten Eason, Ke'Lah Poleon, Lailah Malone, Raina Perry, Camille Trotman, and Makayla Jones. It is a young and talented team with the only senior being Alexis Jones, a big loss for sure, but the future looks good.

I haven't had much time to sit still lately, what with all the homecoming and hair tearing going on. Mark got back late last night after a delayed flight to find his crazy wife sitting on the couch rocking an asleep baby and muttering to herself. He really ought to stay home; you know, for the children. I was really really foolish and tried to stop taking my SAM-e while Mark was away and so things went really really badly for me mentally. I was one of those moms you have every right to fear. I had a better chance at holding it together when out in the world with other people and only came this close to bawling at Porter's mom at the library. I'm back on the stuff now and need to go order more. Like now.
In any event, Mark and I stood there holding each other in the dining room while I tried desperately to find his scent under the stink of Vegas. Somewhere under the smoke and hotel soap was my husband and I was gonna sniff him 'till I found it. And sniff him I did.
I missed filling you all in on some fun details in the last week, so lemme see if I can jam them all in here, in no particular order.
- Lily has learned a new phrase and I just about pee myself every time I hear it: "Oh my gosh, my sweater!" I hear her mutter as she roams around her room looking for the errant garment. "Oh my gosh! I spilled!" she cries as rushes to the bathroom to get a rag. And she says it so delicately… like it's a fragile little phrase that will break if spat from the mouth harshly. It's so adult and yet so childish, I just want to eat her head.
- In a fit of distraction the other day I asked Lily if she wanted me to paint her nails. She had no idea what I was talking about as I have never painted my nails in her existence and so answered, "yeah, sure" (another new phrase, yo). I let her pick the colors and she brilliantly went with blue for the fingers and a lovely shade of pink for the toes. No, I do not know the actual name or brand, I wasn't paying attention. I actually knew a woman in England whose mother had the job of naming cosmetics. Apparently she was famous in this set for "Electric School Bus Yellow." Whatever.
- Yesterday Lily thought it would be fun to run around after me in the dark on our property as I scrambled to make the house look less like crazy people live here. I was taking out the trash, Anya in one arm and Lily tripping after me, as I lugged a big ol' bag of yuck out to the shed. In the past week and a half Lily has grown an inch (seriously) and this has made anything involving coordination impossible. She has fallen down more times than I can count. This time she went for a nice road rash look… on her forehead. I swear, if it weren't for arnica we'd be investigated for abuse. Poor little thing screamed bloody murder and it was all I could do to comfort and treat her without the world ending.
- I took Lily to a five-year-olds birthday party. It was insane. Children everywhere and yet not a single injury. My friends are masters of the universe. It's the only explanation. It made my head spin with all the whirly little people and cake and dress up clothes. Lily slipped into these little shoes and fell in love. The Women's Studies degree in me was all, "Dude, that is SOOO not right! Take those stupid things off your child before she ends up totally subservient to some punk ass kid!" and the girly/mommy bits of me was all, "Awwww, that is so cute! Take another picture! OMG, she's adorable! LOOK at my kid, she's clearly the cutest one IN THE WORLD!" It was a very confusing experience.
- We were all ready to introduce solids to Anya when Mark got home (so one could stay behind with Lily if a trip to the hospital was to be… yes, I am that paranoid) but she has a cold and it's really hard to gage if a child is having an allergic reaction when they can't breathe anyway. We went ahead and dug out Lily's old high chair and have started having her sit with us at meals. She is a social little thing and since eating is one of our big social activities, the least we can do is make her part of the party. She's loving it. BIG. She sits there in her little chair banging her spoon all over the place and shrieking with glee. Very cute.
- Today we made salt dough ornaments. Very simple to make and very fun results. We haven't had time to paint them yet, but I am very pleased with the way they turned out. BONUS: the kneading and rolling and cutting of dough kept Lily distracted for HOURS. All you need to do is take four cups flour and mix in one cup salt (I sprinkled a little cinnamon in there to make 'em smell good while baking, but totally not required), then add in a cup and a half of water, working with your hands until you get a nice dough consistency. Roll them out and use cookie cutters or hands to make cool shapes. Make sure you punch a hole in them so you can hang them up and then bake at 250 degrees for about two hours. FAB-U-LOUS. After they cool completely you can paint with acrylics and, if you so desire, cover in clear nail polish and sprinkle with glitter. Or whatever, we haven't got to that part yet, but I'm all a twitter with what it could be. Here are some nice shots of our work.
All done for now. Sorry for the length, but hey, I was really crazy there for a while and it's just so nice to be sane(ish) again! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

AS9100 Transition
However they will have until the end of this year to successfully complete their certifications under the new revisions. If that deadline is missed, then their certifications under the older AS9100 standards will be revoked.
In effect, this means that the pre-transition AS9100 standards will live until 2019 and then be voided. The consequences for companies not making the transition may vary, but it's possible that their customers may elect not to award new business or even continue existing business with suppliers who aren't recertified to the standard's revisions. The ruling, which seems to have been made in response to the IAQG's executive committee to "adjust the consequences for not meeting the transition date."
The announcement asks any Accreditation Bodies, Certification Bodies or Certified Organizations to communicate these rules to their members/clients immediately. A frequently asked questions (FAQ) spreadsheet is provided for this ruling on the SAE website. The actual changes in Supplement Rules Documents can be downloaded as well. The actual announcement can be accessed here. The AS9100store's training partner, BSI international, has made more training sites and times available for its SAE AS9100 Revision D Transition Course.

Write in the third person perspective.
- Instead of using "I," which would be first person, or addressing the reader as "you," which would be second person, you want to address the characters by their names.
- You will want to use the appropriate pronouns to maintain this perspective. These include he, she, his, hers, him and her.
- When you write in the third person omniscient point of view, the narrator is usually an unknown entity. Even if the reader does know who is narrating the story, it isn't an important element of the story. In first and second person perspectives, the narrator plays a starring role in the work.

The city is great for walking but Daniela decided to hire a taxi for directions to BCBG BGC (Bonifacio Global City), besides she didn't want to be late. Upon punching her time card in, her co-worker Tracy oriented her of a fashion consultant's job and she got it right in a course of a day. The store manager remarked that everything came easy to her, very natural. Daniela would think to herself she earned the Queen's nod as her official personal shopper and that she sets high standard. She impressed the Queen of her obsessive-compulsiveness to details of her wardrobe and accessories and serving her royal guests. That would make her a very good fashion consultant and store buyer ( responsible for store's collections)
Closing time in BCBG, everyone asked Daniela to join them for a girl's night out but Daniela said her boyfriend will pick her up and that she needed to stay behind. When everyone left, Daniela pretended reading each of giant BCBG Max Azria fragrance factice resembling an obelisk in store's entrance like most window-shoppers do. She paid extra attention to the obelisk Metro, stopping down to its base and felt for the Braille but it was so smooth, perfect to the edge. She recalled Tracy jotted down the store opening's to-do-list which includes buffing of these obelisks for it mirrors brand's image and she remarked that Daniela should stick to product's story outlined by the company and she retorted saying it's her story; after all that's what her followers wanted, her personal experiences with the product.
After going through four obelisks pretending like a very curious shopper who value details, she resigned at the thought that nothing can be found here. Besides, she found the BCBG Nature obelisk erecting alone in Le Croisette BCBG store and the BCBG Star obelisk erecting alone in Rodeo Drive BCBG store.
Exhausted, Daniela strolled along BGC High Street thinking it might refresh her memory. She called Rigor her boyfriend but he's gone somewhere out the vicinity of their suite. She decided to walk thinking over what's her being a brand Ambassadress or an influencer got to do with Rehab Center's task for them? "Focus, zoom out and you'll see the big picture." she told herself as whirlwind of thoughts slowly resurface from her memory and recounted it. "Now that we know about dregs of evil's white ash (cocaine) or remnants still flowing in their blood making it impure. What we need to do getting rid of it totally? How we get our blood cleanse? They would say clean living, but how is that exactly? Had the purification of blood something to do with the soul? What the Queen wanted us to do with it?' Looking back, she admired how the Queen speak to them in a manner they can understand. The Queen would engaged them to talk out in a medium that would piqued their interest like movies, pop culture and so on. Speaking to someone under the state of delusion and under the influence of drugs takes one sets of special skills to be able to deal with an addict effectively as she somehow resurface from it but here she is taking on Queen's will before she died and continue Queen's legacy that made them both her boyfriend an advocate for mental health. Was the Queen a former addict? She has no way of knowing with all those secrecy and protocol and stuff surrounding the royal family.
In fact, she believed there are lots of work to do now that it all slowly coming back now. Words of the Queen heightened with renewed interest; sometimes Daniela thought that she still has dregs of evil's white ash for it made her memory so sharp but Rigor disagrees and would say she's delusional.
'Going back, it"s all about the soul. The immaterial manifestation of the Rehab Center's "fire within". The Jedi's mediclorian and Austen power's mojo told something about the power within. I knew it, the manifestation of silvery white filament light from alchemical transformation of silver to gold was all about the soul coming out of the flesh.
From the beginning, the Queen introduced the simplest of smiley that we got right by assuming it to mean 'happiness within' and that became our guide finding other hints. From then on, the Queen never failed to be consistent about the soul. The glowing hand relief on Bedjas buried beneath Elizabeth Taylor's Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame was undoubtedly about the soul. So why the Queen keep sending us to all these places with handsome rewards stated on her last will upon completion of the task. Are we getting all the clues right? Do we keep on making mistakes? Maybe, there's something more we need to know before we could fully disseminate her advocacy to a bigger platform.
There's more to know getting rid of evil's white ash. That's right! o my God! I've been thinking aloud!' she told herself covering her head and wished she could have Magneto's helmet safeguarding from enemy's scanning of his brain and thoughts. Someone might have access to her mind too and fear being brainwashed or the evil is still powerful he could be in her mind and influenced her physically, mentally and spiritually.
Her brain was impinged by series of thoughts like one was channel surfing over satellite TV. She ran bumping on people escaping from this paranoia. She ran a good distance and realized that nothing suggested an evil was capable of doing such thing. Deception, that's all it does. She slowed down and stopped as if the madness subsides. In fact, the Rehab Center too do not have such power over her mind. They were assured that all facilities used in the Center are all brain safe, they do not employ electric shock for the brain or anything to that effect. She smiled at the aspect of neither the Rehab Center nor the evil had the advantage over their mind. It's hers and Rigor's journey that both sides were waiting for their chance to toss their own coin.
Note: Pop Culture has always been embedded in our lives. We are all ardent consumer of everything Pop. Earlier days of our lives or our formative years had been encroached with images shown by an intrusive media which turned out to be our go-to guide on what's cool or not. Readily available Pop Culture had been the staple of what's cool to be accepted by our peers.
Peer pressure is a force to reckon with for it always sucked us in to be competitive- keeping up with those fads and crazes which from time to time leveling up the ante. Those who lead the game of Pop obviously become princes and princesses; and few who really raise the bar so high become King and Queen- but there's a catch.
Raising the bar so high comes with a hefty price- what's with the substance abuse to cope with the stress brought by the impossible demands of Popdom and thus we all are trap in a world that threatens to burst any given time.
This is the story of Rigor and Daniela maneuvering in an ever changing Pop World. They have their fair share of heartaches and mental illnesses brought by the world that Popped.
Follow their journey to the ever changing Pop world where their child's game of retail therapy that Pop is known for leads them to find a cure or a therapy (that is not a pseudo science or pop science) but something Pop icons and Pop luminaries pioneered and led Pop world to achieve Mental Health.

It rained all yesterday, and last night a drizzly fog descended over Little Rock. I was out running some errands, and decided to make a quick visit to downtown to see how it looked. The top of the skyline dissolved into the fog, and the low clouds picked up the orange glow of the street lights.
The first stop was the Junction Bridge. I walked past the disco dance music being played at the ice skating rink in the River Market and set the camera up along the river.
The fog or clouds had lifted, obscuring only the tops of the taller buildings. I drove around some, and eventually stopped at the base of the tallest building in the city - the Metropolitan National Bank Building. This was taken while standing next to the old YMCA Building.
And finally, farewell Kodachrome...

Hooked on Fishing? Pick Up a Fly Rod
A gentleman by the name of Arnold Gingrich once said, "Fly-fishing is the most fun you can have standing up."
On Friday, April 14th, I completed my very first Trout School with the local Orvis Fly Fishing store here in Northern Virginia. It was a day-long, intensive, technology-free crash course in fly fishing that required participants to be fully engaged. It was a mixture of etymology, angling, wading, and vigorous casting—the perfect activity for any adrenaline junkie, even those who scoff at fishing.
For this spinnercast angler, I was sightly nervous about fly fishing before I moved to Virginia. Back in Southern California, saltwater or deep-sea fishing was king—followed by freshwater fishing from the dock or a boat. Very few people close to me, even family members, had exposure to fly fishing. And another caveat: I generally don't fish by myself. I'm usually accompanied by my dad or other seasoned anglers. Fly fishing is a whole different animal than what I'm used to with spinning rods and reels. It's unfamiliar turf—basically hunting while angling—but wasn't impossible to immerse myself in.
I've previously had reservations about fly fishing. What can make people hesitate to tie flies and submerge in waders? The cost of gear, rods, ties, and other accessories can turn you off. (It can add up to hundreds of dollars.) Fly fishing is far more specialized than regular sport fishing, which tends to be more egalitarian in nature. However, fly fishing was a world-class experience. I'd love to do it again!
Here are the items I used to have a comfortable fly fishing experience:
Orvis Women's Encounter Waders — $169.00
Orvis Women's Encounter Rubber Boots —$119.00
We tested out three different flies—dry flies, nymphs, and streamers (specially Wooly buggers). Each required a slightly different casting technique than the other—which proved all the more stimulating. For my trout catch, which happened within three to four minutes of me casting my line, a nymph did the trick.
I was supplied a rod and flies at the event, but realized I was lacking one critical item: polarized sunglasses. These are very expensive, so I opted for my aviators. (Next time, I hope to be more prepared and have those on hand to see fish more clearly take the bait—or fly, in this case.)
Even with some slight mishaps and being slightly underprepared, I had a great experience—especially thanks to the instructor, Duber Winters. Several friends have joked that once you start fly fishing, you'll be hooked into its cult-like club. (I've yet to see any cultish elements. Ha!)
If you'd like to sign up for an Orvis Trout School, go here.
Tight lines, friends!

Decell set for her final day at Sports Hall of Fame
By the time Jackie Decell walks out of the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame today for the final time as its executive director, 92 days will have passed since she announced her retirement.
And like the preceding 40,000 days, things haven't been smooth.
"We haven't had peace in a long time," she said. "You live on the edge all the time."
And she'll be worried about those who work at the Hall. Near the end of a 35-minute conversation, the emotions of 11 roller-coaster years were catching up with her.
"The hardest thing is I really have to stay away for awhile," said Decell, who has four children, six step-children, 10 grandchildren and four step-grandchildren. "It's been hitting me all week. I've been crying all week."
Decell, a Wrightsville native, has been with the Hall since 1999, initially as director of operations after a career in Macon and Milledgeville in assorted downtown-development positions, including with NewTown Macon.
Decell spent her penultimate day on the edge of her office chair, awaiting word from Atlanta and the Legislature about the latest suspense regarding funding.
On Tuesday, the day of a farewell reception for Decell at the Hall, the state Senate restored most of the funding for the sports and music halls.
But the halls' funding had to sweat through Wednesday as well as Thursday, scheduled to be the final day of this fiscally difficult legislative session and thus a final vote on the state budget.
Just before lunch Thursday, Decell had heard unofficially that the recommendation would be for about $312,000 in funding, compared to an expected total closer to $400,000.
"I don't know what we're going to do right now," she said before calling Authority members with the latest. "It's going to be struggle, struggle, struggle."
And so Decell's final days at the Hall have been much like her entire career there: awaiting some sort of financial ax.
"I guess when you're in the middle of it and not looking in, you're involved in it, you don't know you're in so much pain," Decell said. "It hasn't stopped long enough for me to know how it feels."
Less than two years after the building opened, finances became an issue when a state audit noted that the sports and music halls had received about $900,000 each in state funding.
Decell has twice been the interim executive director, replacing Alice Knierim and John Shafer.
Every year since the building's opening in late April of 1999, Decell and her predecessors have had fires to put out.
There have been yearly battles on financing. The Hall has never had the staff it was budgeted for, and that has been cut to less than half of the original plan.
There was a mild controversy on the racial makeup of Hall members and a lack of diversity and regular struggles with a faction of the Authority regarding the location of the induction ceremony as well as finances and funding.
A few years ago, murmurs became public about the possibility of moving both the sports and music halls from Macon, followed by the very real possibility of losing all state funding, years before the state mandated that halls become self-sufficient.
"It really has been hard," Decell said. "There's never been time to breathe."
The Hall's 18-member Authority has been fractured for years, with a clear dividing line of metro Atlanta and the rest of the state.
"All of the folks individually were great people to work with, but as a group, they just haven't jelled," she said. "I think part of it is because you joined an old board and a new authority."
And the new blood and old blood regularly clashed.
Ben Sapp will take over as interim director. He has been with the Hall since June 2004 and is currently director of education and public information. The Hall has received inquiries about the full-time job, but its unsteady financial status has the interview process on hold.
Decell's final major undertaking, the induction ceremony in late February, was a success, with a broad-based class covering races, sexes, sports and geography.
As if it were impossible for a smooth final few months, Decell has been hobbled. Right after the induction ceremony, she had to have reconstructive foot surgery because of an arthritic condition. One night, she arrived home to discover a pool of blood on the floor of her car. There was a blockage, and she was back in the hospital with a blood pressure of 60 over 30.
"I was in a mess, so to speak," she said.
Decell returned from a doctor's appointment Wednesday in a cast for three weeks.
Decell has only second-guessed the timing of her decision but also knows that there is no indication that the next year or two will be another smoother than the past year or two.
"I know I need to go on and do some other things I've been saying I was going to do one day," she said. "And 'one day' is here. But I'm real sorry about the timing. That's bothering me a lot."
Decell will increase the time she spends with her family, and once she's back to full health will resume working with the Hall on a volunteer basis.
Today, she'll hobble around and try to pack up more than a decade of work at the Hall that covers a lifetime of memories.
"Ohhh, it will always be my baby," she said, recalling her road from NewTown Macon to the Hall. "I was destined to be with this organization, one way or the other."

Skin Colour Pearls/
I know it's irrational to want to hug people because of their colouring, but I have a soft spot for red-headed Aborigines. One of the beauties of where I live is that it attracts Indigenous people from around the country. The local resort has an affirmative-action-style recruitment policy for young Indigenous people. I enjoy meeting them — even if they don't always enjoy meeting me (they are usually sick or distressed when they see me).
My Dad is a redhead from an English background. His genes have given us some gorgeous redheaded Goori children in the family. When I lived in New South Wales I thought that maybe the red-headed Aboriginal people lived primarily in the south east. After all, it is where most Aboriginal people live, and it was where the invasion and dispossession started about 230 years ago.
Then I went on to meet these brilliantly coloured people in the Top End, the West and even here in Central Australia. Those Viking genes are strong, I thought. But now I know that Melanesian and Polynesian people have red hair too. For all I know the redheads have been here for 80,000 years along with everybody else.
Australia's Indigenous population is probably about 4%. About 2% of humans are redheads. So, to be both is extraordinary, precious and rare. I must be hanging in a very exclusive crowd, I reckon. Most educated Australians know that Australian Aboriginal families develop lighter skins — our melatonin is an adaptation to tens of thousands of years in this environment and slips away quickly in a few generations of intermarriage with people who have fairer or just different complexions. We don't have recessive genes for our skin colour, so there is no 'throwback' for it among us (unlike red hair, which pops up every second or third generation). An Aboriginal baby is never browner than the darker-skinned parent.
Indigenous people in Australia come in all colours of the rainbow in their complexions. Despite that understanding within families (including other multicoloured Australian immigrant families), prejudice against dark-skinned people is still very strong. This article by a gorgeous, bright young woman (which I read in an Aboriginal Facebook group post) spoke eloquently of the experience of microaggression — people pulling their bag closer as you pass, the shop assistant who says, "You have to pay for that, you know," when you're browsing. I recognised her experience from years walking the streets of Sydney as a young woman. Young women can have a hard time in this country. If you're pretty and dress conventionally you can be left alone, depending on the context. If you're different in any way you get nasty looks. Sometimes even healthy curiosity can feel nasty after awhile. This is especially true in cities, where people have to encounter and make quick judgements about hundreds of strangers a day.
My son told me he experienced something like this when he was a teenager. Coming home from travelling around the city, his playground, he noticed that people withdrew from him. Because of his growing size and tender age there was a general assumption that he might be violent. He didn't understand. I felt sad about it.
My great-grandmother wanted her grandchildren to lose their dark skin colour. Her name was Maude Royand she was a Thunghutti matriarch. Mother of fourteen children, she insisted that her children marry white people. I have seen a photo of Maude as a teenager. She looked dark and stormy in her maid's outfit. She was one of the hundreds of young women stolen into domestic drudgery in the early years of the last century – taken away from home and country made to work whether she wanted to or not, paid very little if at all. Her frizzy hair and anger make her seem taller than she was. Her story was one of very many. You can find out more about what happened to these women.
Maude's insistence on wanting her grandchildren to be fairer-skinned was so strong that one of her grandchildren, the product of an Aboriginal love match, was kept hidden from her. Imagine that, having to hide your child's existence from your mother! The intensity of Maude's feelings speak to the trauma of that age. You can read about the killing times in Thunghutti (and our larger clan Dainghadi) country in this book.
There is a painful history in the way we look now. It wasn't all rape and massacres though. There were always people who wanted to enter into Aboriginal families and cultures and married into the clans gratefully. There were always British (and Chinese and Macassan and Afghan and Irish and all the other) individuals who loved and respected their Indigenous partners. Great grandmother Maude would be proud of us now with our alabaster complexions and Aboriginal cultures.
I met a young man of Gandangara and Wiradjuri ancestry yesterday. Both are large and beautiful (adjoining) countries in present-day New South Wales where I have family. We spoke of those countries fondly. He told me how much pleasure it gave him to visit Central Australia and be around the people here. He grew up strong, if struggling, but encountered many broken people as a youth. He continues to encounter broken and confused people, including many who are compelled to make an assessment of the reality of his ethnicity. It's a pervasive form of racist abuse in this country. Celeste Liddle explores some of the nuances of it.
My new friend and I talked about Ta-Nehisi Coates' book Between the World and Me, a birthday gift I received from my son. I talked about how exquisitely and honestly Coates articulates the feelings he had as conflict, fear and violence surrounded him during his childhood and adolescence in Baltimore in the US. Across the chasm of historical differences, I know that Coates' words will resonate with this young man from Western Sydney.
With his generous and powerful insight, Coates reminds us that there is no such thing as White. The people who get called "White" all come from somewhere. They are Persians or Romanians or Finns or Scots or Afrikaans, with deeper knowledge of ancestry revealing more specific tribal or language group history. Further knowledge says we all came from Africa. Still some of the old Aboriginal people insist that we evolved here on this continent separately.
Given that Aboriginal people had hundreds of language groups ranging across a huge range of environments, from snowy mountains to desert to coral-fringed reefs, I expect that the people were also genetically and ethnically diverse. A person from Arnhem Land is very different from a Tasmanian and till the British came, these differences were even more pronounced. There was as much diversity between Indigenous people here on this continent as there is among people on any of the continents — diversity in way of life, language and appearance. We still have so much to learn about these ancient cultures.
Cultures do not end because their children have different colours.
So the next time an Australian with fair skin has the grace to reveal their Aboriginality, whether by their clothes or jewelry, their tattoos or their story, let your heart swell with gratitude that the web of Aboriginal cultures continues to be woven. Indigenous knowledge and values are important for the human race. If we are to survive this age and begin to care for the planet, we will need them. Each one of those children is to be treasured as they integrate the continent's history in their skin and their soul, and navigate their way around a painful and defiant history. Just like those ruby and quartz-coloured relations of mine back in the many countries of the Thungutti diaspora.

Modern Vibrational Spectroscopy and Micro-Spectroscopy: conception, Instrumentation and Biomedical Applications unites the idea and history of traditional vibrational spectroscopy with the foundations of microspectroscopy. It begins with uncomplicated conception because it applies to small molecules after which expands it to incorporate the big biomolecules that are the most subject of the ebook with an emphasis on useful experiments, effects research and clinical and diagnostic purposes. This publication is exclusive in that it addresses either the mother or father spectroscopy and the microspectroscopic elements in a single quantity.
Part I covers the fundamental concept, ideas and instrumentation of classical vibrational, infrared and Raman spectroscopy. it truly is aimed toward researchers with a historical past in chemistry and physics, and is gifted on the point appropriate for first 12 months graduate scholars. The latter 1/2 half I is dedicated to extra novel topics in vibrational spectroscopy, corresponding to resonance and non-linear Raman results, vibrational optical job, time resolved spectroscopy and computational equipment. therefore, half 1 represents a quick direction into smooth vibrational spectroscopy.
Part II is dedicated in its entirety to purposes of vibrational spectroscopic thoughts to biophysical and bio-structural learn, and the newer extension of vibrational spectroscopy to microscopic information acquisition. Vibrational microscopy (or microspectroscopy) has opened solely new avenues towards functions within the biomedical sciences, and has created new examine fields jointly known as Spectral Cytopathology (SCP) and Spectral Histopathology (SHP). to be able to totally take advantage of the data inside the micro-spectral datasets, equipment of multivariate research must be hired. those equipment, in addition to consultant result of either SCP and SHP are offered and mentioned intimately partially II.

Sample text
Samples for IR spectroscopy can be gaseous, liquid, or solid. Detailed sampling methodologies are presented in Chapter 3; for the time being, the collection of IR spectra for a neat liquid is discussed. Molar extinction coefficients (see below) for vibrational transitions typically are in the range 10–1000 L (mol cm)−1 , which requires that neat liquids be measured as thin layers, typically between 10 and 100 μm thick. To this end, the sample is introduced into a liquid cell made of IR transparent windows separated by a spacer of appropriate thickness.

" These monochromators utilized gratings or prisms to disperse the light and slits of appropriate widths to select an appropriate wavenumber band to irradiate the sample. As only one spectral element (band) was sampled at a time, acquisition of spectral data took minutes to hours. These instruments generally operated in "double-beam" mode were a chopper alternatingly directed the beam of light through a reference (background) and sample optical path.

The UK's underfloor heating (UFH) market continues to warm up – Nigel Sanger of JG Speedfit explores what architects and specifiers need to consider when specifying UFH systems
UFH is no longer just the prerogative of the wealthy. Its increasing affordability, plus general concerns over rising fuel bills, mean this technology is now more attractive to homeowners. They are driving UFH specification. However, consumers are still wary about installation costs, and confused about the fuel efficiency benefits on offer. For architects and specifiers though, this is a clear opportunity to educate and 'upsell' the values of a UFH system. While reducing fuel bills is the stand-out message that homeowners can latch onto, there are also a range of intangible benefits, which contribute to a healthier home, overall.
When a house becomes a home
Without home comforts, a home is merely a building. UFH supports the idea of a creating a comfortable home by heating rooms to more ambient temperatures than those generated by conventional radiators. A traditional radiator distributes heat through convection, where it heats the air around it, with the radiators' temperatures reaching above 75°C. This creates an imbalance of temperature, as radiators tend to warm the air immediately around them more than the points furthest away from them. By contrast, UFH has a much lower operating temperature of between 25-27°C. It uses the basic principle that warm air rises to create a more even and comfortable temperature across the whole room. In addition, UFH systems tend to create minimal noise, if any at all. Traditional heating systems however often produce stress-inducing creaks and clicks.
Blow the cover
Once dubbed by The Guardian as 'rabbit-hutch Britain', we are thought to be facing a period of ever-shrinking property sizes as Government Ministers seek to find solutions to make better use of land for housing. As space sizes decrease, architects and specifiers are having to do more with less. UFH is a relatively simple space-saving solution, because removing the need for bulky radiators and pipework can actually give rise to more aesthetically pleasing design ideas and storage space. As well as using up unnecessary space, radiators can often become an eyesore as paint peels and rust sets in. UFH removes the need for homeowners to replace radiators, or disguise them using intrusive radiator covers!
Convection to infection
Safety and general health advantages can often be overlooked when considering the installation of heating systems, yet they can contribute greatly to occupant wellbeing. Convection from common radiators works by moving air around a room, but with it moves dust allergens and other particles that can cause respiratory irritation. In addition, warm convection currents absorb moisture more readily and dry out everything within their path, including skin, lips and eyes. By switching from convection-based systems to those that operate via radiant heat, moisture and air movement is reduced. UFH is also physically much safer, particularly for children. No radiators means there are no sharp edges to bump into, nor are there any hot pipes or surfaces to accidentally touch – a constant danger and worry for parents.
In total control
Traditional radiators and single thermostats create inevitable heat loss. Understandably, most homeowners are reluctant to walk around every room turning radiators on and off so unoccupied rooms are often warmed up unnecessarily. With UFH, this lack of efficiency can be combatted by integrating smart controls to create zonal heating with individual or multi-room temperature control. Using smart thermostats, multi-zone heating can be achieved simply and easily through wireless controls. With lower water operating temperatures and more efficient heating control, homeowners and occupiers can make significant savings on fuel bills.
Things to keep in mind
When designing buildings with UFH, it's essential to nail down the three key phases – planning, installing and commissioning. Without having these at the foundation of your project, it's easy for systems to become inefficient and ineffective. Whether you are installing a screed floor or suspended wooden joists system, it is also essential to ensure the best method of installation is chosen. Architects, project managers and installers must effectively communicate with each other at the specification stage, and if any party is new to UFH, best practices should be put in place first. The most common mistakes made with UFH include not correctly pressure testing the system, and not setting flow rates and blended temperatures. These can all be easily avoided.

There are times when I read God's Word and the words seem to fall flat. I'm hungry to hear from God, eager to meet him in my Bible, yet nothing jumps off the page or particularly moves my heart.
This can feel like looking at a delicious meal, and wanting to enjoy it, but having no appetite for it.
Identify Your Motives
Such hunger and disappointment reveal two attitudes about the human heart, one we should pursue and be thankful for, and one we should confess and flee from:
First, our hunger and disappointment mean we desire God. This is good! We want to hear from him, because we love him and want to obey him. We desire to know the God who speaks and walk closely with him by opening the Scriptures.
But our hunger and disappointment can equally say we expect God to reveal himself on our terms and timing, according to our needs and feelings. If we're not careful, our time in God's Word can become less about knowing him and more about checking off a list of spiritual duties to make ourselves feel good.
Usually, our hunger and disappointment are some combination of both. So what can we do? Where do we turn?

Risk Perception and Response to Perceived Risk Models: Findings from the Slums of Nairobi
Yetty Shobo, Pennsylvania State University
This study uses the Nairobi Cross-sectional Slum Survey to examine factors affecting AIDS risk perception by sexually active females and the impact of risk perception and marital status on the adoption of HIV/AIDS preventive measures. I find that autocratic male control is slightly related to risk perception and response to risk perceived by using condoms and practicing monogamy. analyzes show that cohabitation, being of Luo ethnicity, domestic abuse, and suspecting partner infidelity are associated with higher odds of perceiving moderate to high risk. Women perceiving such level of risk are twice as likely to reduce their number of sexual partners as those perceiving small risk. Overall, women who perceive some level of risk are more likely to adopt preventive measures that can be implemented independently rather than measures requiring collaboration such as condom use. Campaigns promoting collaboration between sexual partners are, therefore, urgently needed to dampen Africa's AIDS epidemic.

How to make your performance reviews run smoothly
As soon as you take on your first employee, you create a new responsibility for yourself as a business owner: the need to carry out performance reviews!
There's a clear intention behind the performance review process, and that's to give you (the owner or manager) an evaluation tool to help review your staff, improve efficiency and help the business achieve its true potential.
But, in reality, performance reviews can actually end up making you less efficient. They can be time-consuming, frustrating and often don't achieve their underlying aim of helping you and your team improve the business.
So, as a manager, what can you do to improve the experience and effectiveness of your performance reviews?
Schedule more frequent and much shorter reviews
Making your employees sit through a dull 2-hour performance review every quarter isn't the best use of yours, or their, time.
In reality, your employee's performance is an ongoing process that's occurring on a daily basis – and should be reviewed and analysed on a similarly regular basis. Talk to your team throughout the working week, find out how they're doing, and where they have any concerns.
Keep short notes in your HR system and you'll build up a substantial list of points on each employee – notes that will give you plenty of talking points for your more formal review conversations.
Don't be confrontational; be conversational
Confrontation is definitely not the aim of your performance review.
This review time isn't a forum for airing grievances or apportioning blame for any specific errors. Instead, it's a time to have an open informal chat about how you and your employee feel they're progressing.
Remember, you don't want to destroy confidence or undermine engagement. So make sure you have a combination of positive feedback and constructive criticism to discuss with each team member.
The trick is to underline how the positive and critical elements are interrelated, and to frame them as part of the wider, holistic business process. This helps your employee to see what they're adding to the business, and where they need to do better, without damaging their motivational levels and making any criticism too personal in its focus.
In short, be constructive and help your team to improve themselves.
Have an agenda for your review conversations
When you do sit down for a review, make sure you've got a clear agenda for what needs to be achieved. It's no use sitting down for a chat and having a meandering conversation without any defined end goal.
Here's are some key elements to include to make your reviews effective:
- Talk about objectives and goals, both short and long term.
- Assess how well your employees are progressing toward their objectives.
- Give advice and guidance if an employee needs to improve in any areas.
- Use a consistent rating system in all reviews (and compare them over time).
- Give your employees their own chance to talk, while you listen.

Put down the HR handbook!
You may have done your research and read up on the latest HR processes, but don't get too smart. Make a real effort to not regurgitate the HR clichés and refrain from sounding like you swallowed the book whole. Keep it conversational and act normally – you'll get far more from it.
Make sure the review is a productive process too. You asked for the review, so it's your job to ensure it's a worthwhile experience, both for you and the employee. Stay consistent, keep it simple and aim for that personal touch.
Give your review a clear purpose and outcome
It's important that your review sessions have a very transparent end goal. Before starting any review, makes sure that your employee understands why it's happening and is clear about the purpose of the conversation.
Underline the benefits and end goals you're aiming to achieve and show them how this is a constructive exercise, which will benefit their long-term career prospects.
Talk to us about your performance review process
At Holden Moss, we've seen how important it is to build a motivated, skilful team of people to help you achieve your long-term business goals.
We've worked with a wide cross-section of fast-growth businesses to help them define their employee needs, improve their day-to-day management and put clear, effective performance review processes in place.
Best of all, we use the Gazelles resources to do it – so you are never starting from scratch. These are tried and tested People resources that will help you get the most from your people, and from your performance reviews.
If you'd like some assistance with your employee performance reviews, get in touch with your local office to arrange a chat with us.

Five New Models of Forged Transmission Slip Yokes!
ProShaft began as a company reselling drive shafts in a spare bedroom in an old apartment. It hasn't been easy, but we've grown a lot since those days. Soon, we began selling transmission slip yokes for Turbo 350, Turbo 400, Ford C6, Ford C4, and other transmissions.
As time went on and we continued to expand our lineup of drive shafts and driveshaft components, we were able to seek out additional suppliers for transmission and transfer case slip yokes.
It's well known in many industries that steel components made of forged steel as opposed to cast provides a superior superior product. This provides higher torsional strength and an overall longer lasting drive shaft part. We're proud to announce that five of our most popular models are now made of extremely durable, forged steel:
This is easily one of our most popular transmission slip yokes. These 27-spline yokes fit a wide variety of transmissions including the GM Turbo 350 (TH 350), 700, 700R, 700R4, 4L60, 4L60E, Powerglide, Muncie 4-speed, and many others. They accept the widely popular 1310-style (Spicer 5-153X) universal joints. Additionally, these yokes are able to run at a higher degree angle than comparable models. This part is a direct replacement for the Spicer 2-3-6081X.
We offer these transmission yokes in a forged model as well. These yokes are will fit the same transmissions as our PS2-3-6081X except that they accept 1350-style u-joints (Spicer number 5-178X). Customers who choose this yoke are normally looking to upgrade their drive shaft to use 1350-style u-joints but still keep their Turbo 350, 700R, et. al. transmission since the typical factory drive shaft uses 1310-style, 1330-style, or 3R/S-44 Sagainaw-style u-joints.
For our Ford customers, this is also a top seller. It is a 28-spline transmission yoke that uses 1330-style universal joints and fits the Ford C4, AOD, Top Loader, and T5 transmissions. These yokes fit many models of Ford Mustang. For classic Mustang owners, the next yoke in our forged transmission yoke lineup is normally your best bet. These are a direct replacement for the Spicer 2-3-5981X.
Like our PS2-3-5981X yoke, these yokes fit a whole array of 28-spline Ford transmissions. However, these yokes use the 1310-style u-joint like our PS2-3-6081X. They're popular for a lot of classic Ford Mustangs and especially customers interested in doing a T5 conversion. They are a direct replacement for the Spicer 2-3-8251X yoke.
This the latest arrival in our forged yoke lineup. They are designed to fit the Turbo Hydramatic short-tail type transmissions and accept 1350-series universal joints. The PS3-3-2431X is also compatible with the 4L80E, 4L85E, Borg-Warner Super 10, Muncie M21, and Muncie M22 transmissions. These are a 32-spline yoke and many customers use them to replace the Turbo 400 bolt-on yokes once they remove the o-ring from their transmission output shaft.
More to Come!
Moving forward, we're going to be offering all of our transmission and transfer case slip yokes in forged models. Be on the lookout for more models to come. Have a great day and thanks for reading!

Ela cuisine started a the joint venture of two humongous food-loving families who pioneered their own style of cooking based on the spices of Travancore and fresh leaves.
Chef George's orientation to any street or suburb is just on the basis of the availability of food. It is hard to extract a memory from George, where food was not involved. The zeal for food was such that George started running his family restaurant at the age of 15. After gaining the hotel management degree, he went on to complete his Masters in Business Administration. George is now a qualified chef who has worked in India, Kuwait and New Zealand for the past 10 years.
The ambition to own a restaurant in New Zealand fell into place when George met a major foodie, Johnson, a trained IT professional, whose passion remained sourcing good food and watching movies. Johnson always found an excuse to start cooking, the moment he was free from his routine and shared his culinary creations with his friends. After helping us set up the restaurant and the arrival of our second chef Daniel, Johnson has moved on.
Ela cuisine welcomed Daniel Moses, chef of Shangrila, Sydney to their midst in April 2013. He has worked only in five star hotels across the globe in Seychelles, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Australia. The trendy concepts of presenting Kerala cuisine along with a fusion of Mediterranean style was brought into Auckland by our new chef. Daniel specialises in grilled food along with appetising sauces and dips. Daniel has returned to Australia at the end of 2013.
The concept and design of Ela cuisine is by the spouses of the founders of Ela, two health professionals, who actively researched the medicinal values of Indo Mediterranean spices and the use of fresh herbs.
