The Maroon DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF LOYOLA UNIVERSITY VOL. IV MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1925 No. 4 W.W.L. BROADCASTS SUPERB PROGRAM Finished Artists From Lavedan Studio Perform. An unusual program of superb music was offered Saturday night, November 21, to radio enthusiasts by station W. W. L. of Loyola. The varied program consisted of vocal, violin and piano selections, all rendered with classic technique by accomplished artists from the Lavedan Studio of New Orleans. The long applause that greeted the singers and players after each selection showed the appreciation of the audience in Marquette Hall, where the singing and playing was done. Telephone calls to \V. W. L. station reported the delight of listeners-in. The opening number, the Chanson Norvegien of Foudrain. was a soprano solo by Mrs. Charles Testart. The eerie, haunting melody of the second offering, By the Waters of Minnentonka, sung by Mrs. Calonge Dodd. with violin obligato by Mr. A. Grandmain, received prolonged applause. Then followed in order Le Sarau Rose of Arditi, sung by Mrs. Rose Caruso, soprano; La Charite of Faure, sung by Mrs. Charles Monot, mezzosoprano; Dicblod's Lakme, sung by Mr. G. Bayhi, baritone. The splendid rendition of Mephisto Serenade of Faust given by Mr. J. F. Hote was entrancing. He sang for encore, The Sunshine of Your Smile. Grenadenas was the offering of Mr. Alvarez, who has a soft, mellow and pleasing tenor voice. So well was his selection received that he sang for encore, I Pass By Your Window. Italian opera, Caro Nome, from Rigoletto, was sung by Mrs. R. Arlington, soprano. Mrs. Gabrielle Lavedan, under whose direction the program was given, was at the piano for all the singing of the artists. WAR SKULE CADETS RIDE FREIGHTS Come Down to City to Witness Games. There are more ways than one in getting down to New Orleans from Baton Rouge and the L. S. U. cadets have proved it. These fellows wouldn't miss a Tiger game for anything in the world, even though the distance is around a hundred miles from home. The most popular way is to catch a freight train out of the Red Stick yards at midnight and get off at Harahan. Here they board a stret car and get into New Orleans for the total sum of seven cents. There's a reason for not riding the freight into the city. If they are caught in the local yards there's a possibility of sleeping a couple of nights in the calaboose. This would spoil the trip entirely, since they come down to see a football game and not the solemn and hard visage of a uniformed turn-key. After the game, the cadets hit the Jefferson Highway and bank on chance to get a lift back to the capital. FATHER SULLIVAN ADDRESSES MEETING Gives Illuminating Talk on Mental Hygiene. At the close of the luncheon given under the auspices of the Louisiana Mental Hygiene Society at the Patio Royal, November 24, Father Sullivan made a short address on the importance of educating parents and teachers on the psychology of children. Loyola's president showed child psychology to be a subject which concerns teachers and parents. They are to see that the nobler traits in a child are developed directly, while the vicious impulses are inhibited indirectly. Parents and teachers are to labor incessantly at checking the abnormal emotional excesses common today in children. These excesses unchecked lead to neurosis and insanity. The tYverishness, the rush and the swirl of modern life react unfavorably upon the children of today. Juvenile crime is proven to have its roots in the uncontrolled emotional excesses of children. Parents and teachers have a serious duty with regard to this danger.The principal speaker at the meeting was Dr. Ralph Truitt of New York City, a member of the National Committee for Mental Hygiene. Other specialists who addressed the assembly were Dr. Oscar Dowling, Louisiana Board of Health; Judge John Nix of the Juvenile Court, and Dr. Walter Otis of the Veterans' Bureau. DEAN OF COLLEGE ATTENDS L. T. A. Fathers Kearns, Mulry, and Roy Represent Loyola. Fathers Kearns, Mulry, and Roy, attended the thirty-third anniversary session of the Louisiana Teachers' Association in Baton Rouge, November 19, 20, and 21. The meting! were held on the new Louisiana State University campus and were presided over by G. O. Houston, of Mansfield. One of the bills drawn up at the convention called for a tax on tobaccos and cosmetics, the returns from which are to go to retired teachers. The bill will be presented at the next session of the state legislature. The Fathers returned immediately after the convention. FINAL TOUCHES ON CAFETERIA May Open Next Week. The contractors arc busy putting the finishing touches on the Loyola cafeteria, and from all indications the managers will open up sometime next week. Loubat's Glassware and China Company have outfitted the caifeteria with the most up-to-date equipment. Mr. Frank Battaglia, a veteran restauranteur, who is to be manager, states that the cafeteria will be operated on a strictly modern basis. CATHOLIC WORKS ARE BEING EDITED Father Reville Is Editor-in-Chief of "My Bookcase." The declaration of Cardinal Newman that "the tradition in English literature is Protestant," is weakening year after year by the writings of Catholicborn authors and by those, who, although cradled in alien creeds, have walked, in later years, in the light of Catholic belief, which like the lightning, is "from the East even unto the West." "My Bookcase," a Catholic library of one hundred volumes, has been planned, and is well on its way to completion, to put into the hands of Catholic readers a harvest of standard Catholic works, gathered from every race and nation, written by the children of the household of the Faith, as well as by those who have come SATURDAY CLASSES HEAR NOTED CRITIC Clayton Hamilton Lectures on "The Rivals." All the students of the Saturday classes in the Extension Course assembled in the auditorium at ten o'clock on the morning of Novemiber 14 to hear Clayton Hamilton, eminent dramatic critic, lecture on Richard Brinsley Sheridan's "The Rivals." In his analysis of the play Mr. Hamilton showed deep appreciation of its dramatic and humorous content. The laughter that rippled through the audience today, as it did when the playwright's immortal comedy delighted theatre-goers in London 150 years ago. Mr. Clayton Hamilton told members of the faculty after the lecture that he rarely found an audience throughout the country manifesting the deep appreciation of his lecture shown by the Loyola Saturday Extension students.WALLACE NICAUD ADDRESSES BODY Urges Students to Meet Tigers and Varsity. At a special assembly of the arts and science departments in MarC|iiettc Hall auditorium, Wednesday, November 25. at twelve o'clock noon, Wallace M. Nicaud, president of the student council, addressed the students. He announced that the college department would have holidays Thursday, (Thanksgiving Day) and Friday. He also urged the students to go down to the station Wednesday night to welcome the L. S. U. freshman team and to do the same Friday morning at eleven o'clock to meet the varsity squad returning from Memphis. The band, he informed, would accompany the student body on both occasions. Father Mulry endorsed Nicaud's statements and asked the band to do their best in filling the engagements. THANKSGIVING DAY AT LOYOLA CHURCH Commemorated With Special Mass and Sermon. Because it is an obligation, at once religious and patriotic, the students and people of Loyola University Church kept Thanksgiving day by attending the special mass and sermon arranged for the occasion. At nine o'clock to the notes of the organ, Father John Navin, pastor of the Loyola parish entered the sanctuary, preceded by the altar boys. In the body of the church, hundreds of faithful people were kneeling. The seats along the main aisle were filled with the boys and girls of Loyola parish school of the Holy Name. After the choir had sung the Kyrie and Ave Maris Stella, Father John Reville, lecturer in English at Loyola university, mounted the pulpit. Taking for the text of his sermon the verse of the Psalmist, "Unless the Lord build the house, in vain do they labor who built it." Father Reville began his sermon by showing how solemn and imperative a duty it was for all citizens of the nation to give thanks to God for the many blessings received from heaven during the year. For Catholics this duty of giving thanks is a daily one. They give thanks at morning prayer and many times during the day. It is in Holy Mass MEMORIAL MASS FOR MRS. E. J. BOBET Loyola University's Benefactress Remembered. The anniversary mass of requiem for Mrs. E. J. Bobet, was celebrated by Father Sullivan, President of Loyola University, at the main altar of Holy Name Church, November 14, at 7:00 o'clock. Members of two Loyola organizations were present, the Marquette Ladies Auxiliary and the Y. W. (). L. The magnificent chimes in the tower of Holy Name Church are the gift of Mrs. E. J. Bobet. The same benefactress by her generous contributions, made possible the erection of the impressive Bobet Hall, where the chemical, pharmacy and dental departments of Loyola are quartered. The massive doorway which gives entrance to the University library in Marquette Hall shows the title, "Bobet Memorial Library." PHOTOGRAPH DATES FOR WOLF 1926 Announcements to Be Posted. Paul Bailey, editor-in-chief of The Wolf 1926 is at work organizing plans for photographing of individuals and groups. Names of individuals and groups will be posted as well as the dates when the pictures are to be taken. SEISMIC STATION RECORDS QUAKES Loyola Instruments Record Three For November. Mid-Novennber proved to be an unusually active period in seismic disturbances. The Loyola Seismological (I'lisrrvatory recorded three on different days. A quake bordering on major intensity was registered. November 10, at 9 A. M.. the disturbance lasting until 10:22. The preliminary tremors were not caught at Loyola, but a telegram from Beunos Aires gave the origin of the quake as North Chili. A second quake of similar intensity was recorded on November 13. The character of the wave motions shown by the chart indicated North Chili again as the origin of the quake. The Loyola chart shows the first tremors for 7:20 A. M., lasting until 8:40. These two quakes although considerable in intensity, were really o!f minor importance in comparison with the severe quake registered on Monday morning, November 15, at 5:58. The amplitude of the waves was unusual for a quake of such distant location. It was computed by Father Abel, seismologist, to be 4,000 miles from New Orleans in a southerly direction. Twice as far away as the earthquake which wrecked Santa Barbara, the effect as registered at Loyola was greater. The maximum amplitude at 6:16 A. M. was twenty millimeters. Sunday, November 15, the day before the quake was one of unusual seismic activity, microcosms being recorded continuously from early Sunday to Monday morning. The cause of these microcosms may be traced to the high seas running in the Gulf at the time. The rythmic pounding of the Gulf waves upon its coast line sets up earth vibrations of sufficient amplitude to be registered by the sensitive needles of the seismograph.MARSHALL BROWN MARRIED SECRETLY Event Occurred in August. Calamities are happening so unexpectedly these days that a fellow can't exactly judge where he stands on the time-worn roster of Fate. The greatest shork of recent occurrence is the information that Coach Dan Cupid has added another player to his matrimonial squad, said player being the sturdy little pig-skin chaser, Marshall Brown. All right; keep your seats and get what few details we have on hand. Marshall, it seems, has been married since August 26, to Miss Maud Mullins of this city. He kept the fact a secret all through the football season, and didn't let the kitten out of the .sack until after the Tennessee Medic game. Of course, he was swamped with congratulations and slaps on the back. And—maybe some of the fellows slipped him a bit of advice. Marshall was a freshman in the day law class, a member of the S. A. K. fraternity, and guard on the varsity squad. (Continued on Page 8.) (Continued on Page 2.)

We have had intermittent Internet access and extremely high Ping, Jitter & Packet Loss since 6/28/2012. Comcast Support, where are you? On Thursday you recognized the issue and have since then deemed the issue solved, but; We still have the same issues. Our business has come to a screeching halt since then.
Look at this: http://www.pingtest.net/result/65623044.png (That's a GOOD example!!)
Anyone else in the Monroe, NJ area experiencing issues -- What are they telling you?

Mine doesn't seem to be as severe as yours, but just so you know you're not alone in this problem. A lot of others have been having this for over a month (including me) and I haven't gotten a single notice about the issue since it started appearing.
I'm in the TN area.
Same issue in philly. I have had multiple service calls, but to little avail. Huge spikes and inconsistency in connection. It seems a little better, but not resolved. Please call them, maybe if enough of us call, they will finally realize it is not a customer side issue.
Powercycle your equipment if you haven't already. If Comcast says the problem is fixed and you are having a problem days later, you should have a tech out.
My internet still isn't working and I am in Maryland. Currently I'm in NC and now i can't VPN into my system. Now I have to wait for my WAN IP DHCP lease to expire and then renew. Who knows how long that will take. Great. I'm on vacation and I can't connect to my work. THanks again comcast for your failed service.

Can't power cycle equipment when I'm 250 miles away. Service is supposed to be reliable enough where I shouldn't need to do that.
Same issue, has been happening since the 30th for me (Miami, FL area). Internet will be fine, then all of a sudden in games I get a ~3500 latency jump and then a disconnect.
Less than a minute before I did this test, I got great results and a 15ms reading. Once the internet crapped out yet again and disconnected 30 seconds later, I ran the test again when it came up:
Then I went to pingtest and got similar results:
What is going on? No alerts.

I have ping issues starting from June 29th here in Lawrence, NJ. Internet seems fine when browsing, but when I start playing online games my ping spikes to over 700 every minute. I ran pingtest.net and results show a 1% packet loss at times. I called up customer support and that was no help, they insisted my net was fine based on speedtest of 24mbps down and 4mbps up.
Hello Monroe - neighbor in Cranbury experiencing precipitous performance declines since June 20 -- repeated and frequent connectivity drops, painfully slow speeds. Initial tech visit 6/21 blamed synch failure between TM772 and router (?) but repeated bypass of router proves this is not the case. Scouring posts for clues - thank you Nerdberg -- tracking through your suggestions and evaluating data, with some of the modem power levels and SNR data out of your suggested ranges -- does this indicate modem replacement?
. Another tech visit scheduled July 5 but my expectations are conditioned to be low based on previous experience

I have been having this internet issue since the end of May.....Everytime I take a test at pingtest.net I notice that I'm having major packet loss issues, I've had days where there isn't any packet loss at all and barely any jitter in the connection and I'll have a 18 ping. That lasts for about 2 days then I go back to a packet loss issue. Its normally anywhere from 1% to 4% but lately today its been going to 9%. I mean this has been going on for a month, and nothing is being done at least by what I can tell, and it seems like Comcast has been leaving me in the dark, I haven't heard anything from comcast saying they are currently trying to fix the issue or what, I've switched modems to ones that are supported by comcast, I've tried ip changes, I even changed TCP configs, powercycle the modems disconnected my router downstairs, and still not one thing has helped at all. I'm not the only one with this issue by what I been reading lately, So whats going on? I talked to my girlfriends dad who works in networking, and hes saying it's highly possible that comcast is having gateway issues with the packet loss. Because I explained its only packet loss thats causing these lag spikes, the internet speed is normaly unchanged during the spikes.
http://www.pingtest.net/result/65718504.png this is my latest test from pingtest.net at 9:50 CST

After posting this today, my internet was still suffering from packet loss in the morning, later in the afternoon it seem to not be a huge issue I was able to play a few games online without much lag, about 15 minutes ago, I'm suffering from packet loss again, and constantly dcing from games vent and skype.
http://www.pingtest.net/result/65751905.png test from pingtest.net during the lag spikes, also note the test took 2 minutes to actually finish getting the results
http://www.pingtest.net/result/65752621.png I just took another test and this is what I'm getting. Any idea why all of sudden I'm suffering from major packet loss and jitter ms at random times throughout the day and night.
Oh, good...others are having this issue as well. I just postyed a new thread, but I had been told by tech support that my modem was showing power issues; as in there was not a steady flow of AC power to the modem. I just bought a UPS figuring a steady flow of regulated power would help, but it did not. Playing Diablo 3 will make me run in palce every 30 seconds and in SMNC I randomly run forward 50 feet (and die). this just started out of nowhere this past Friday.
Something isn't right.
ps I generally on speedtest will show overall 25 mb download but sometimes in the test you'll see these random dips down to like 9. But the test only takes 30 seconds and the issue only happens every 4-5 minutes.
How many of the people in this thread are using a `Cisco` router which recently updated it's firmware to use the Cisco Connect Cloud?

As a matter of fact,I have the EA 4500 and it is now connected via cloud. That has absolutely nothing to do with the issues posted in this thread. This is a connectivity problem to the modem with their internet, either a server or line problem, not router-based . No need ot confuse the issue.
So my internet seemed to straighten up yesterday, from pingtest during the packetloss test I only seem to lose 1 packet out of 250 and the whole day the internet was running to the point where I could vent and play games. Then we had a nasty thunderstorm roll into town, and knocked out our power for about an hour, after the power came back on, comcast was having an outage, no internet phone or cable to my house. After about 30 minutes, it came back on, cable is fine, but my internet is beyond slow now, I can barely load any webpages, I've watched my vent ping go from 0 to 15 to over 29000, watched my network graph during this, and its constantly spiking up and down and isn't stable. What the heck is going on.....first packetloss that seem to lighten up, now because of an outage, I can't do anything at all that requires a internet connection? Really what is going on.....
So lately my internet has been running during the late morning afternoon hours, and stays running without much spikes for a few hours, between 6 and 8pm, my internet becomes spikey and I'm not able to do anything at all, can't browser the web, can't play games online, can't even talk on skype or vent. I've had my cable and internet go out at the same time about 5 times, 3 times last night, 2 times today during this afternoon. My internet is barely useable at the moment as it took me 15 minutes to actually post this because of how slow its running.
I ran a packet test to see what is going on. And guess what 82% packet loss... here's a link to it http://www.pingtest.net/result/65968947.png
Come on comcast, theres something wrong there are way to many people all over the states having packet loss issuses. What in the world is going on.
In Houston texas, constant packet loss. Slow upload/ download speeds for the last week and a half. My tmobile data speed is faster than my comcast download speed of 1.2 down. My upload is faster! at almost 2 mbs. I can't watch netflix or amazon without it going down to horrible quality IF at all. Tech support denies any issues. I am calling ATT tomorrow.
Tennessee here. Same problem. Pingtest and Speedtest always give extremely sporadic and seemingly random results.
Sample pingtest.net result: http://www.pingtest.net/result/65965972.png
Sample speedtest.net result: http://www.speedtest.net/result/2051198746.png
I've seen packet loss as high as 37%. lolwut. This isn't the America I was promised. No fiberglass and the only ISP with a decent upload speed in this whole state suddenly breaks with no explanation?
Well, the days of the internet being useable are gone, worked for 2 days and now its back to slow and sluggish. Still waiting to see if comcast is even going to notice that there are a bunch of threads popping up with this issue or if they are just going to ignore it and take our money.... Guess we'll see.
Most recent packet test from today. http://www.pingtest.net/result/66013455.png It's just horrible....
Having the same issue here. Was just on chat for an hour with the same old "Let me send a refresh signal to your modem" garbage. After an hour of me running pathpigns to different IP's for the tech, I finaly got an appointment for a tech to come out.
I'm getting packet loss across hops 2-7 in the comcast network. My ping tests vary wildly from C to F and I've seen packet loss of up to 20%.
The funny thing? This just started about 5 days ago. Before that, Never had any problems.
This better be taken care of.

Same here, I started to have this problem since Wed(June 27th).. This problem does not bother me at web-browsing nor surfing youtube videos.. But it is very noticeable while gaming. Since that day, I have to talk to 5 different representatives in order to get them to sent a tech over to my house. But what? He couldn't do anything about it. This is getting ridiculous, they really need to get this thing solved ASAP..
For a pro-gamer, 2 weeks waiting is patient enough.
I am going to be patient for a little bit more.. But I am not going to wait forever..
EDIT: This is how annoying it is.

So I talked to a tech online today, and she ran some test and found out my modem is DOCSIS 2 when my plan calls for me to be on a DOCSIS 3 modem, by what she said this is what has been causing my packet loss and unusuable internet, after talking to her for about an hour, she set up a tech visit to come out and swap modems, and not 100% sure what she did but since speaking to her my internet has been fine and haven't had one issue with it yet. But by what she said is my modem being DOCSIS2 is only capable of handling 12mbps burst, and my plan gives 25 mbps burst I think. I'm just happy to finally have an answer and the internet to be working out a bit, for people still having this issue I'd recommend you talk to a tech online because the forums get you no where. Never got 1 bit of help since posting on here, spoke to a tech and it was explained in an hour. Yay for comcast forums

"One February morning, in sub-zero weather …"
At the end of the last instalment I posted of Augusta's memoir, she and her family were starting to feel the effects of the Great Depression. Her husband John had taken back his old job at a reduced salary rather than relocate to New York City when his company's local premises closed.
As you might guess, we're nearing the end of the story now. There are only one or two posts to come.
We sold our car and our new lot, and moved to Springfield where we first lived in a small rented apartment, then the first floor of a large house where the owners were fine Swedish people, and finally were able to buy a small house with money we had saved from the sale of our Waterbury house and lot in Watertown. The house in Springfield was in a desirable location with woods behind us and a lake nearby, and we learned to love it.
Although we had much less money now and the depression had lowered the spirits of Americans and brought real hardships to many people, we thought we were lucky. We had our own house, John had a job, our son had a good teaching position, and our daughter at this time by means of scholarships and church jobs as an organist was able to remain at Yale and finish her musical training, later obtaining a teaching position at the Utica Country Day School in Utica, N. Y.
So our lives continued. John read in his study and enlarged his life in this way, and I found many customers for my dressmaking.
In Springfield there was a Swedish Lutheran church we could attend. When we moved to Watertown we had to give up our Swedish connections, and instead we joined the Episcopal church there. We were happy to find a Swedish church in Springfield, but it was a great disappointment. We attended this church regularly, and our daughter was confirmed into the Swedish faith, but we were very unhappy in this church. The people in it did not attempt to adapt themselves to American life. They refused to learn a new language, and were very narrow-minded in every way. John with his liberal views and broad self-education was especially unhappy. The minister was very young, and rigid in his views on every subject.
The utter dreariness of this church and its views on religious faith defeated us, and we left it and joined a non-Swedish Congregational church which we found very congenial. It had been difficult to break with our Swedish church life, but this church did not seem to have anything in common with the warmth and loving relationships of our little church in Sturup in Sweden or the Swedish Lutheran Church in Waterbury which had been the center of our lives for so many years. We had not grown away from our Swedish upbringing, but we had grown away from the narrow minds we found in this particular church. There was no other Swedish Lutheran church in Springfield.
It was heartbreaking to us to make this break, our last real tie with our homeland. We felt the loss deeply, but knew we had made the right decision. Gradually we came to enjoy Springfield very much, made new friends, and appreciated the advantages of living in a large city. We found it clean and attractive. It often reminded me of Malmö. We adjusted to our new life and surroundings, and our daughter had four fine years in Springfield's Classical High School before going on to the Yale School of Music. And our years together went on as happily as ever.
Suddenly they ended. One February morning, in sub-zero weather, my husband, who loved exercise and always walked to his work, a distance of a mile, went there as usual, entered the building, walked up the stairs, and fell down dead. It was February 3, 1936. His death was caused, the doctor said, by over-exertion in the intense cold. The shock was great, for it was entirely unexpected. He had always been very healthy, and there had been no warning signs as far as I knew. My only comfort, apart from my children, was that he had not had to suffer, for it had happened instantly. I could only be thankful for that.
After the funeral and burial in Oak Grove Cemetery in Springfield, where I shall also rest some day, my daughter and I sold the house and furniture, including our fine piano. Then she went back to Yale, and I lived with my son and family in Hamilton, N.Y. while she finished her musical education.
John had been a wonderful husband. We were married 41 years, and stayed in love with each other for our whole married life. He was a kind and loving father to our children, a source of inspiration with his open mind and studious interests.
John should have had the opportunity of living in an academic world. He had had to relinquish his desire for further education and had no formal schooling after he graduated from the eighth grade in Sturup, but he had the gift of a scholarly and inquisitive mind, nurtured entirely by himself. No day passed without his acquiring new knowledge and absorbing it, adding consistently to the great store he amassed during his life. He explored philosophies and religions, science and all aspects of nature, and the lives of great people all over the world. He often speculated about life on the moon. He was curious about everything, wanting to know more and more. Compared with him, my life was trivial, but our married life suited us both, and could not have been happier.
After I had lived with my son and his wife for some months, my daughter after graduating from Yale was offered a job as director of music at the Utica Country Day School in Utica, N.Y. She found a little apartment, invited me to live with her, and we had two happy years together, making many friends in an area new to us.
Then she met and married a young Professor of History at Colgate University and moved to Hamilton, N.Y., where her husband bought a fine home that had formerly belonged to the director of music at Colgate, and included a concert grand Steinway piano. In Hamilton she has had a busy musical life, giving many piano lessons, directing choirs and choruses and Gilbert & Sullivan operas. She and her husband have a fine son, Truman Hylander Rockwood. He and I have a lot of fun together. I call him my best chum.

1968 Road Runner In the first installment of our 1968 Road Runner undercarriage detailing, the folks at Legendary Motor Car had gone through our classic B-body and started removing the entire suspension, driveline, brakes, and fuel system, getting it ready for restoration. Although the car looked fairly presentable underneath, the more we investigated, the more we realized that it actually needed quite a bit of work in order to achieve the factory look we were aiming for. In addition to the incorrectly painted parts, some items showed signs of rust and wear and would need to be cleaned and repaired. As is often the case with restoration projects like this, there was more work actually required than we originally envisioned. But a saving grace was this particular car's largely rust-free condition. Many of the original chassis components could simply be cleaned and reused, which as you'll see ultimately saved us quite a lot of money whilst achieving some very satisfying results. Follow along to see how.
In order to get our 1968 Road Runner's unibody ready for paint, we'll need to carefully dry sand the entire underneath, removing any spots of under coating, along with the old SS1 Yellow exterior color. When it comes to painting, preparation is everything. We used 40-grit paper for initial sanding, followed by 80 and then 180 to remove any remaining rough areas of paint and undercoating. A Dremel tool removed any traces of rust, particularly in small areas. In order to prep the underside correctly, the process will take several full days.
Remember the car's original 8 ¾-inch rearend from last time? In order to begin refurbishment, the axles were pulled. Its fluid must be drained and then the differential needs to be cleaned and inspected.
The differential is washed using automotive solvent cleaner. We discovered that the diff was in good shape, having been regularly serviced. However, we also noted that it is a 3-series 742 open rear, not a Sure Grip as indicated on the car's build sheet. Furthermore, the part numbers indicate that this is the original unit installed at the assembly plant in Lynch Road.
The empty rearend housing was then cleaned and sanded to remove the old, heavy paint. Now that it's back to bare metal, it's ready for a fresh coat. Although we used a downdraft spray booth, you can do this at home in the garage, though make sure you have a sturdy support to hang the housing on while painting. As for the finish, any good quality automotive paint will do–and make it black for an original look.
One place where you can save a ton of money on cars like this concerns the rear leaf springs. As long as the car doesn't display high mileage or seriously worn springs, the existing ones can be restored. Since ours were in good shape, despite being coated in surface rust, we did not need to purchase replacements. The springs needed to be stripped, cleaned, painted, and re-assembled. We opted to coat them in natural steel paint, which preserves the original look and prevents them from rusting within a few short months. New bushings and metal spring retainers were the only replacement parts needed. Our old springs now look brand new.
Moving on to the front suspension, the car's original upper and lower control arms, torsion bar springs, and sway bar all need to be sandblasted and restored. The control arms were not only rusted, but also covered in thick black paint (they should be natural metal). Because the paint was so thick, it took several hours to remove most of it, using automotive solvent and a scraper before we could sandblast the parts.
Besides the suspension, somewhere in this car's past the A883 transmission casing had also been painted–the main part aluminum and the tailshaft black (the casing should be natural metal/cast iron). Since this is also not correct, once the fluid had been drained we needed to clean the housing and remove the old paint, using plenty of degreaser, followed by solvent and a brush.
For that factory-correct look we also needed to remove, clean, and re-finish the transmission casing bolts using a special chemical compound, which blackens them, replicating the OE appearance. For you do-it-yourselfers, The Eastwood Company offers a special metal blackening kit for around $40 that includes all the tools you need. In our case the biggest issue was getting the bolts out, since the two Allen pieces on the left side of the casing proved very difficult to remove, requiring a lot of heat penetration to loosen them.
Once the bolts and shift linkage had been pulled off, the old paint stripped, and the holes and tailshaft end masked, the transmission casing could now be painted. In order to replicate the natural metal finish but prevent premature rusting, we elected to paint the casing using a cast-iron automotive paint. Again, sources like The Eastwood Company are a great place for quality, OE-type automotive paint. With the refinished "blackened" bolts in place and the shift linkage reinstalled, the result speaks for itself.
Getting back to the underbody, we're just about ready for paint. However, for the best possible result we need to remove the black rubber grommets that cover the drainage holes in the floor and trunklid, and mask the holes with tape to prevent overspray. This also requires removing the spare tire and trunk mat.
This next step is easy to do yourself, though make sure you have adequate ventilation. To replicate the original underside finish, it was necessary to spray the floorpans with gray, satin-finish acrylic urethane paint, which resembles the factory primer but is far more hard wearing. Next, we carefully mixed an acrylic urethane solution that matched the car's SS1 Yellow exterior color, and carefully applied it over the gray to replicate the look of factory body paint overspray. It's never been easier to achieve the correct, restored look.
Remember our sorry-looking upper control arms? Well here they are, along with the refurbished lowers, spindles, and end links. New bushings have been fitted, and the spindles and arms correctly color-coded. They're now just about ready to go back on the car.
Besides the suspension components–which we were able to entirely re-use, save for the bushings and rear spring retainers–the same applied to the brakes. All we required were new lines, new cylinders for the front wheels, and fresh shoes. Here are the rear-drum backing plates, fresh from sandblasting and now ready for paint.
As the rest of the rearend assembly starts coming together, we can begin putting the differential back together. Here the cap bolts are properly torqued. Due to the design, we can actually install the rear axle on the car before attaching the differential unit.
It's the details that really count. The original steering linkage and tie-rod ends, having been blasted and painted, were also re-installed. We were able to source the correct castle nuts that link the inner and outer tie rods to each other, and the spindle extensions as well.
Out back, with the rearend and leaf-sprung suspension back on the car, Legendary's Jim Coleman reinstalls the axles. With the transmission also installed, next will come the driveshaft.
Items that can make or break an undercarriage detail are the gas tank and straps. If the original tank and straps are in good condition they can be cleaned and reused. If you opt for a replacement, companies like Classic Car Auto Parts offer them, along with replacement straps and even sending units. A complete new tank and hardware for one of these cars can be had for less than $400.
Our Road Runner is done. Note the cast-iron finish on the original drums and the "as-new quality" of the control arms, which contrast with the exterior paint. Also note the orange color on the lower arms–this is Cosmoline, a petroleum-based compound that is designed to prevent them from oxidizing. Chrysler applied an anti-rust compound to the car's original bare metal arms–this replicates the factory look while improving longevity. The undercarriage now looks spectacular, and aside from materials this entire project cost us less than $1,500, including the cost of the exhaust, fuel tank, stainless fuel and brake lines, new brake wheel cylinders, master cylinder, and shoes!

Ballmer: Nokia deal is a good thing for our hardware partners
You might think Windows Phone makers would be peeved to find out they're now competing against the very company that provides them software. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has a different take.
In a conference call Tuesday with analysts and journalists, Ballmer said that he believes his company's $7.2 billion acquisition of Nokia's phone business "grows the OEM opportunity," adding that he's already spoken with OEMs -- an industry term for device makers -- who have shared their enthusiasm about the deal.

Pueraria lobata respecting biodiversity
Pueraria lobata tends to overtake the surfaces where it grows and this vigorous growth can hinder the development of surrounding plants. Consequently, it needs to be curbed by controlled cutting and uprooting. It's during this process, which is vital to preserve biodiversity, that Clarins collects the roots containing the active ingredients used in its Super Restorative range. As a responsible company, Clarins is thus respecting its permanent objective: to collect the most effective plant extracts while preserving the environment.

Richard Sarkis and David Kinsley were juniors at Williams College, surfing the net for a cheap source for their economics textbook, when they discovered a little known economic fact: the very same college textbooks used in the United States sell for half price -- or less -- in England.
Just like prescription drugs, textbooks cost far less overseas than they do in the United States. The publishing industry defends its pricing policies, saying that foreign sales would be impossible if book prices were not pegged to local market conditions.
But many Americans do not see it that way. The National Association of College Stores has written to all the leading publishers asking them to end a practice they see as an unfair to American students.
''We think it's frightening, and it's wrong, that the same American textbooks our stores buy here for $100 can be shipped in from some other country for $50,'' said Laura Nakoneczny, a spokeswoman for the association. ''It represents price-gouging of the American public generally and college students in particular.''

The Turkish parlement voted to send 12,000 troops to Iraq but the Iraqi Nation Council (specifically the Kurdish members of the INC) blocked the deployment and refused to allow Turkey to send their troops. The Turks actually wanted to send their troops into northern Iraq so they could restore order and hunt for Kurdish rebels in their spare time.Originally posted by CharlesBHoff
Turkey would never have help us. .
BTW How do you get Afghanistan as being another Vietnam? There is a grand total of 8,500 US troops in Afghanistan. I don't see 50,000 KIA ever coming out of a garrison that small.

I'm not 100% positive either, but everything I have read has pointed to one needing to have a premium XNA account to enter audition mode. Sounds like it's exclusive to XNA members...not exactly sure why....i think that's where all the rating takes place to get approved. Maybe they don't want just anyone judging whether a song should get published or not, so songs are judged fairly
Yes, you absolutely require a Premium XNA account to access Audition Mode. In fact, if you do not have one active, Rock Band will tell you that you need it when you try to select Audition Mode.

So here's something that a friend brought up. Indie games require a LIVE connection to play them. I couldn't think of any other games that actually have user-generated content like this, so that's the closest analog I can think of. But would RBN songs also require a LIVE connection?
I'm still not clear... when will it launch? how can we buy the songs? when it DOES launch, will it only be available to gold users?
Order Status - Tranferred from regional warehouse to central carrier shipping hub
why cant i get RBN? i have the option to go into it..but every time i do it tells me its a temporary problem..its been saying that for about 2 months...please help me!

Gristmill Grinder Half Marathon and 5K Fun Walk
Dates: April 13, 2013
The Babcock Gristmill Grinder is a half marathon trail race on a truly spectacular trail course through the rugged terrain of Babcock State Park. This event will challenge you with single track trails, double track, and occasional short road sections. This course will also reward you with spectacular overlooks, and occasional green moss ferns, rhododendron tunnels, waterfalls and more. The last few miles will take you along the old Sewell dirt road besides the beautiful Glade Creek, and up to and past the famous Gristmill.
The Fun Walk is on the road and you can expect beautiful scenery and little to no traffic. Starting at the same start/finish area as the run, we are walking to the Gristmill and back. If you are here with someone doing the run, this is a great alternative. So come out and enjoy the day with a great walk in the park.

God Bless America!

According to Health and Fitness website, Greatist.com:
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a popular form of exercise that combines two of the most effective fat-burning methods.
The first is high-intensity training, which pushes the body to maximum effort to achieve muscle fatigue and maximum oxygen use in a quick burst. The harder muscles work, the more oxygen they require. This is measured relative to one's VO2 max, which is the highest amount of oxygen your body consumes during exercise. Working your body close to its VO2 max triggers the afterburn effect, where the body continues to consume oxygen (and burn calories) up to 48 hours after the workout (it takes approximately five calories to consume one liter of oxygen).
The second method is interval training, which alternates periods of intense effort with periods of moderate-to-low intensity effort. Interval training boosts metabolism significantly longer than a steady workout of equal or even greater length (for example, a 20 minute workout of alternating high/low-intensity periods burns more calories than a 20 minute workout of stead intensity). Interval training also builds lean muscle tissue faster than steady state training.
By combining the above two principles, exercisers can maximize fat-burning and muscle-building potential through significantly shorter workouts. HIIT maximizes increased metabolic rate, optimizes muscle building and muscle retention during fat loss, and increases calorie burn during and after workouts.
As always, please remember these important tips:
- Remember to drink water throughout your workout to stay hydrated.
- Don't forget to breathe while you're doing the exercises.
- If, at anytime you feel pain beyond your usual "burn" or workout soreness – STOP immediately.
- Be careful. You should consult your doctor before starting any diet, supplements, or exercise program.
Why not maximize your weight loss efforts by adding 3 HIIT workouts just 3 times a week AND a twice daily dose of Skinny Fiber 30 minutes before meals. You'll be thin and strong just in time for summer!

This electric wine opener earned The Best rating from the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute because of its perfect worm insertion and rapid, effortless cork removal. A wine industry expert opened 56 bottles with the electric wine openers and she lauded The Best model for requiring "no effort at all," unlike lesser models that were "incredibly awkward" or "required a lot of pressure." The expert praised The Best model's screw insertion as "flawless" on traditional and synthetic corks and its cork removal performance was "exemplary," while other openers stuck to the lip of the bottle. The Best Electric Wine Opener was the only model that comes with two stoppers and a wine preserver that removes air from unfinished bottles. Opens up to 50 wine bottles after a 10-hour charge via the base that plugs into AC. Includes foil cutter. 7 3/4" H x 2" Diam. (12 oz.)

I LOVE my electric wine opener
By Pat
from Roanoke, Virginia
I am 75 and it has become hard to get the cork out of wine bottles. No problem now with the Electric Wine Opener. Sorry I did not have it 20 years ago.
Fantastic-I bought 3 of them
By Ansal
from Murphys CA
The product if easy and made WONDERFUL Christmas gifts at a very reasonable price.
By frog
from Fredonia, KS
Good product as an opener, but haven't needed the accessory for keeping product fresh.
It *is* the BEST!!
By Wine nut's wife
from Oregon
My husband absolutely loves this device. The old manual wine puller broke, the chintzy wine stoppers were not doing the job. Enter The Best Electric Wine Opener. Every cork... whistle clean removal. Easy to replace the barrier to oxidizing air with the use of the vacuum stopper. Absolutely genius!
Fully as promised

Best one ever seen. Cons more than offset by effectiveness in and out.
Electric Wine Bottle Opener & Wine Saver
By Frank The Wino
from Milwaukee, Wi.
Bottle Corks to be used with Air Pump Leak after short time. Poor design, as we have manual pump and corks which hold air for weeks. Corks are too stiff, not made of Silicone Rubber.
This thing WORKS
By Wally
from Baton Ruoge, La.
My wife has a bad shoulder and this is the only wine opener that dos'nt hurt her.
Very nice and classy
By Atlanta GA girl
from Atlanta, GA
Very nice presentation if giving for a gift! It works perfectly. Not sure about what to do with the preserver...never need that!
The Best Electric Wine Opener
By Vince
from Pittsburgh, PA
I purchased this item because I was hosting a large party and I knew there would be many bottles of wine to open. This Waring wine bottle opener was amazingly easy to use. The only effort you need to use is to press a button and hold it down while the device automatically removes the cork for you. So easy! Once the cork is removed from the bottle, you simply press another button and the cork ejects from the bottle opener device. Everyone at the party was amazed!
