tunnal ram tips?? sbc s10
i have a 1985 s10 10.1 cr 350, 461 double humpers, eddy's performer cam very healthy motor, im not looking to make it run better as long as it runs as good, this is going to be my "two lane black top", th350 trans w 2000rpm stall, 4.10 gears, i have two 600 eddy's i plan on useing at first sence i already have them, mayb recalibrate them any ideas.....
I have 2 Holley 340s and they make my engine run rich. 600s will only be worse.
You're gonna find a bunch of tunnel-ram haters , for what it's worth, they can be setup to run very well on the street , do some searches & read up on tuning, maybe get some carb tuning books to help you understand what's going on, but it's doable. + the really look cool , IMHO
I love my tunnel ram, you just have to make sure the rest of the car is setup for it. They don't start making power till 3000 RPM. Living that high in the power band isn't easy but it can be done. It would be much easier if it wasn't an automatic.
My car gets so much attention and its mostly due to the Tunnel ram.
I drive it on the street and its does a pretty good job. I do need to do something about the rear gear ratio. Its not right and I'm not in the right RPMs like I should be unless I shift manually.
Personally I do not like the idea of using two 600 CFM eddys carbs on the tunnel ram on 350 motor that is street driven. There is so much air a motor can deliver depending what RPM you are working with. After that its a waste of effort to produce more horsepower. You go overboard and the motor will not perform the way you want. In fact the motor will run like a dog. It will bog off the line and lean backfire, smell of raw gas. Difficult to start. Lousy low end throttle response because over size of the ventures on the carbs. Unless your planning to rev the motor to 8000- 9000 RPM then two 600 CFM carbs will do the job. A pair of Holley 390 #8007 would be a better choice.
Closer look at my engine
Jake, what type of tunnel ram you are running? The plenum in my TR is half the size I'm using.
id thought id go ahead and use the two 600's i have till i get it closer to being finished, its going to be street rod and its a working progress, later i plan on gettin 450's do some fine tuneing, it will take time to work out all tha cinks but we we'll get there..but all all the info is great and im love'n the pics to.

On mine I run two 450's with the power valves blocked off... Ran Like a bat out of H*** !!!!! :thumbup:
Two 600 is 1200 cfm's.... That's two much cfm's for a small block Chevy.. :nono: Remember a sbc usually run's best with a 750 Or a little bigger carb..That's 750 cfm's... You have 1200 cfm's.... Get two 450's and block off the power valves... You should see a big difference..... Also if you don't have a good msd to fire everything forget trying to get it right.... I Bought a msd kit from jegs for $540.00 or so.... Best money I ever spent... :thumbup:
Its an edelbrock tunnel ram
The eddy 600's will work fine on your t ram. The are not too big.
The eddy carbs have a secondary air velocity valve that automaticly sizes the carb(s) to engine demand.
You will want to get the jet /metering rod tuning kit for your carb model
The distributor timing curve will need tweeking.
A afr gauge/meter -O2sensor makes tuning and dialing it all in a snap.
The tunnel ram manifold needs time to "warm up" before street driving.
The 2000 stall converter is fine as ling as the cam is mild.
The 4.10's are just right.
You do not need new carbs.
Max fuel pressure at idle 5.5psi.
Yea!!!! but not two of them !!!! :nono:
I didn't think I had to say a HOT SBC !!!! Since this is a Hot rod site..But I guess I didn't explain myself good enough.. :nono:
And he does have a little hotter then slightly modified sbc.. ;)
Sorry.... I forgot why I don't try to answer on this side of the forum... Now I'm starting to remember now.. :drunk: :D

Harvard creates a legion of tiny collective robots
Harvard has successfully demonstrated a collective of quarter-sized robots that operate with "swarming" behaviors — such as formation, control and synchronization. Once activated, they are autonomous and do not require human interaction to control their activity.
These little robots are disarmingly adorable as they totter about on three tiny stick legs and display different colored light signals indicating they are in communication with the programming algorithms and with each other.
Created by members of the Self-Organizing Systems Research Group at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) was chronicled in the June 2011 Harvard Technical Report. Now, the "Kilobots" — named for their ability to be mass produced — is part of a technology licensing deal with the K-team Corporation, a Swiss manufacturer of high quality mobile robots. It looks like soon researchers and the general public can experiment with their own swarms.
The Kilobots are seen as a key in one day attaining high-end applications for multi-robot systems and the development of more sophisticated algorithms that could coordinate sweeping scales of miniature robots. Potential uses? Exploring earthquake shattered buildings for survivors, battlefield reconnaissance, anything deemed unsafe or unnecessary for humans. Our dream use? Well, cue the videos of Kilobots dancing to "Thriller."
The research group was led by Radhika Nagpal, the Thomas D. Cabot Associate Professor of Computer Science at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and a Core Faculty Member at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard. Her team also includes Michael Rubenstein, a postdoctoral fellow at SEAS; and Christian Ahler, a fellow of SEAS and the Wyss Institute.
Learn more about the Kilobots in the video below.

Austin-East girls' basketball coach Eric Brabson, who led the Lady Roadrunners to the Class AA state championship in 2007, will not be back next school year as coach or teacher.
With the restructuring of A-E, all teachers went through a re-interview process. Brabson, certified in social studies, did not make the new faculty lineup and was placed at South-Doyle Middle School.
Brabson said he doesn't know why he was not "retained."
"I have not gotten the answer from anybody," he said. "Downtown won't tell me. The new administration, none of them will tell me why.
"I am certified in social studies. I mainly teach U.S. History (at A-E). But I have some excellent test scores. I really don't know why."

text: This dvd was pretty good. I got it from Blockbuster Video a few weeks ago. The documentary was about politics and different rappers like David Banner, Saigon and other well known rappers addressed their views about former presidents and George Bush not helping the black poor communities. Saigon spoke the truth everytime he talked. He said he didn't see any change in the unemployment rate when Bill Clinton was president. I agree with what he said because blacks who voted for Bill said he helped more blacks get jobs but i don't think the unemployment rate was any better when he was president. Snoop Dogg narrated the documentary. He cracked me up when he dissed George Bush calling him a bitch ass LOL.

Rockwood Receives All Regulatory Approvals To Complete Talison Acquisition
Rockwood Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ROC), a global producer of specialty chemicals and advanced materials, today announced that the government of Australia's Foreign Investment Review Board has given its approval for the acquisition of Talison Lithium Limited (TXS: TLH) by Rockwood.
In making the announcement, Rockwood's Seifi Ghasemi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "With this approval, Rockwood has obtained all regulatory approvals and is therefore prepared to close the acquisition of Talison as planned in mid-December. We are aware of the so-called competing bid by another party. Rockwood has no intention of engaging in a bidding process for the acquisition of Talison.
"The C$6.50 Canadian per share that we presented to Talison is our best and final offer. We are confident that the Talison shareholders, when they meet on November 29, will vote in favor of our proposal, which provides deal certainty for the Talison shareholders. Rockwood has the cash in hand for the acquisition, and now it also has all regulatory approvals. A vote against the deal would be a lost opportunity for the Talison shareholders and could leave them without any transaction. "
Rockwood Holdings, Inc. is a leading global specialty chemicals and advanced materials company. Rockwood has a worldwide employee base of approximately 10,300 people and annual net sales of approximately $3.7 billion. Rockwood focuses on global niche segments of the specialty chemicals, pigments and additives and advanced materials markets.

It comes amid news the backlog caused by technical problems, which left thousands of people without access to their accounts, may not be fully resolved until Monday.
Many customers get their salaries on the last day of the month - including hundreds of public sector workers, many of whom are uncertain if money will be in their accounts.
The bank said there should be "no issue" with people accessing their wages if they bring a form of ID and a payslip or other evidence of payment.
However the consumer watchdog said customers are still having difficulties.
"Since this crisis started, the Consumer Council has repeatedly been told by Ulster Bank that customers will have no problems accessing their own money at an Ulster Bank branch," said Antoinette McKeown, Chief Executive of the Consumer Council.
"However, it appears that some customers are having difficulty getting hold of cash at an Ulster Bank branch.
We've heard cases where customers have been set a limit on how much they could withdraw, been refused cash from their savings account, or simply told they couldn't withdraw any cash at all.Antoinette McKeown
We've heard cases where customers have been set a limit on how much they could withdraw, been refused cash from their savings account, or simply told they couldn't withdraw any cash at all.
Antoinette McKeown
"This is completely unacceptable," she added.
Stephen Cruise of Ulster Bank admitted it is "unacceptable" that customers have been left in this position, but said the bank is working to resolve its issues.
"It has been a mighty complex and delicate situation and we are working through the process, hopefully this weekend we will get through it," Mr Cruise told UTV.
"Our anticipated delivery is to get ready by next week. It is unacceptable for customers to be in that position but that is what we are aiming for - the beginning of next week."
On the subject of Direct Debit payments he added: "From 21 to 29 June, any Direct Debit received by the Ulster Bank has been paid."
He also warned customers that the bank does not ask for details to be sent by email.
Ulster Bank said 32 of its branches have extended opening hours until 7pm.
Twenty-six branches will open on Saturday from 10am to 3pm and on Sunday, and 10 branches will be open from 10am to 1pm.
Customers can call also call their helpline over the weekend from 8am-10pm on 0800 231232.
Land & Property services have advised customers who pay their rates monthly by direct debit that if their payment does not go out on Friday they will request a double payment on 31 July.
If customers are unable to manage a double payment they can contact the LPS Direct Debit team by the 19 July on 0300 200 7801.
Northern Ireland politicians have been critical of the bank's treatment of customers.
Roy Beggs of the UUP said: "I have learnt of the desperation of some local Ulster Bank customers in East Antrim who have been unable to visit their bank before going to work. Some have had to take time off work to try to access their money.
"We are now ten days into this crisis and it is absolutely intolerable that local people who are customers of the Ulster Bank still cannot access their funds."
Alliance MLA Stewart Dickson said: "This has been an absolute fiasco. Ulster Bank have serious questions to answer on how poorly they have handled this situation.
"The chaos that has resulted from this problem has knocked the public's confidence in Ulster Bank."
Sinn Féin's Phil Flanagan said: "We are almost a week into this debacle and still key questions remain unanswered.
"How did a relatively minor software upgrade lead to such widespread disruption of the Ulster Bank's payments system? Was there a back-up or recovery system and if so did this also fail? If there was none - why not?"
On Tuesday, the Royal Bank of Scotland Group (RBSG) issued a statement to say that RBS and Natwest customer account balances had cleared overnight - with the exception of a few specific sets of transactions.
Jim Brown from Ulster Bank group said RBS and Natwest accounts were sorted sooner because of their system's "sequencing".
"The priority for the group is to get the customer services to actually get back to normal as quicky as we can for all three but there is a sequencing in terms of how the system's run, the system's design that does impact on our ability to process the transactions and clear up the backlog," he said.
The Bank of England governor Sir Mervyn King said on Tuesday that bank bosses should be subject to a "detailed investigation" over what went wrong and why it has taken so long to sort out the issues.

Kerry's New Mission: Convince Congress To Take Iran Deal
Originally published on Tue November 12, 2013 2:56 pm
Secretary of State John Kerry is back in Washington to defend the proposed nuclear deal with Iran to skeptical members of Congress. He and his colleagues from other major powers failed to reach a deal with Iran during talks over the weekend in Geneva. Iran blames France's hard line for blowing up the deal, though Kerry has tried to downplay that.

BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- A generation ago, wealthy families built portfolios chock-a-block with blue chip stocks such as General Motors (GM) and passed them on to their progeny as part of the family trust.
But that investment approach has mostly been turned on its head in the past 40 years as the buy-and-hold investing strategy of old faded, the list of blue chips got shuffled, and technology stocks led the markets.
But given the uncertainties of investing today, particularly for those approaching retirement, it may be time to revisit what had been considered a fuddy-duddy strategy. Some of the top blue chip stocks of yesteryear are still some of the best investments now as they have proven they can weather any economic environment and continue to pay steady dividends and grind out long-term share price returns.That group includes some sedate consumer staples stocks, such as cereal makers General Mills (GIS) and Kellogg (K), and ketchup and relish maker H.J. Heinz (HNZ). But their records now looks appealing, especially when compared to what's happened to some of their old peers, many that faded along with their industries due to changing technologies or shifting consumer tastes. For example, Eastman Kodak (EKDKQ), once the leader in photography products, is struggling in bankruptcy as it failed to adapt fast enough to consumers' shift from film to digital-imaging photography. It's now trading at 17 cents a share down from $30.20 five years ago. And then there's GM, which filed for bankruptcy in 2009, wiping out the stakes of a lot of long-term investors before getting a government bailout. Bank of America (BAC), once one of the most respected banks in the country, has been on a roller coaster ride with the rest of the financial services industry over the past decade. Its shares show the damage done to its loyal investors' portfolios with a loss of 5.6% annually over 10 years. So, given the hostile environment investors have had to deal with over the past decade, the old-school blue chip performances are particularly appealing now. General Mills, for example, the home of Betty Crocker, sports a 7.6% annual return over the past decade. Indicative of the headwinds facing long-term investors, the S&P 500 is up 5.6% this year, and 14% annually over three years, but it's still down 0.3% over five years and up a mere 4.6% annually over 10 years. And a subset of blue chip stocks, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, an index of 30 U.S. industrial companies, is up 3.2% this year and 15.6% annually over three years, but up only 1.5% annually over five years and 3% annually over 10 years. Here are 10 stocks of blue chip companies that are over a century old and have proven their worth through all economic cycles, ranked in inverse order of analysts' "buy" ratings:

In the Companies Act, 1956, there were specified minimum rates in this regard. The Corporate Affairs Ministry has now said that useful lives of assets and the residual value specified in Schedule II...

Does contingent liability affect the stock price?
September 24, 2012
Sameer Bhardwaj , ET Bureau
Stock prices are not only susceptible to external factors like market movement, but also internal ones like a company's financial health (revenue, cost and profits). Another factor which, at first glance, may not seem to have any effect on the share price movement is 'contingent liability'. This is the amount that a company may need to shell out in the future and its loss potential is measured in terms of the probability of those events coming to pass. Such liabilities include...

new "toy" that kaia loved
|Wed, 10-29-2008 - 5:33pm
i wanted to share this "toy" that my OT had kaia play with and hold.
kaia likes the weighted blankets (we didnt want to get her one because if we travel we'd always have to have it with us if she gets used to it) and loves being hugged tight and being in tight spaces. she also curls up so tight into the corner of her bed and wall. her OT tried this and said she loved holding the doll, since it has a lot of weight to it and can be heated it may help soothe her when sleeping (she can be a restless sleeper). i thought i'd pass on the link in case any of you have a kid like mine.
just so you know: i do not work or even know anyone from this company, i just wanted to pass along the info.
|Fri, 11-07-2008 - 1:27am
I got Simon heavy stuffed puppy, you can take his insides out and put them in the microwave. His insides also have a soothing lavandar herb mix. I try not to use it all the time so when hes up tight at night I can heat up the puppy and it really helps calm and relax him. I bet it weighs almost 3lbs. and fits nicely on his chest. ~ marfy

MVC Capital Announces Investment In Biogenic Reagents
PURCHASE, N.Y., July 30, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MVC Capital, Inc. (NYSE:MVC), a publicly traded business development company that makes private debt and equity investments, today announced that it will invest $9.5 million in Biogenic Reagents ("Biogenic"), a producer of high-performance carbon products made from renewable resources.
Under the terms of the transaction, MVC has committed to provide a $9.5 million senior secured convertible note to Biogenic in order to construct additional reactor capacity at the Company's production facility located in Marquette, Michigan. Biogenic has received strong support from the State of Michigan, led by the Michigan Strategic Fund and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. The note will mature in five years.
Headquartered in Minneapolis, MN, with a subsidiary in Marquette, MI, Biogenic's specialty products include: activated carbon for use in purification of air, water, food and pharmaceuticals; metallurgical carbon for use as a reagent and energy source in the refinement of specialty metals; and thermal carbon for use in energy generation. Biogenic's products are replacing a variety of coal-based products as they can offer better performance with less environmental impact. Biogenic's products include activated carbons that greatly reduce mercury and other emissions from power plants and industrial facilities that allow customers to comply with EPA's stringent new air toxics standards, which require a substantial reduction of mercury emissions and other pollutants by 2015."We are pleased to partner with Biogenic, as they continue to expand their footprint and grow their operations. Biogenic has developed an innovative solution manufactured in its leading-edge production facility that provides a higher performing set of activated carbon products at a lower price point," said Michael Tokarz, Chairman & Portfolio Manager of MVC Capital, Inc. "We are impressed by Biogenic's strong management team and competitive advantage made possible by their unique process, technology and utilization of feedstock."

It would be nice to have a validator that will check the returned status from an http server. For example, does page xyz return status 301? In other words, a way to basically get all available metainformation about a page, image, etc., like the MIME type, mod time, etc. Netscape does some of this, but an independent service would be useful for platforms not supported by Netscape. If there already is such a service, it would be good if it were mentioned somewhere on http://validator.w3.org/ I'm not on this list, so a direct response would be much appreciated.

Setting Up A Modular Subversion Repository For PHP-Driven Websites
Sharing code between projects is still not a trivial matter with subversion. Especially if you are familiar with SourceSafe, you will find that subversion makes it hard to share code. Subversion seems to be really great in creating a version mess and good in solving one, but the reason I need source code control is to prevent such a mess. This is where subversion can be greatly improved, but it is not impossible. This howto will demonstrate a directory setup that takes the subversion sharing mechanism into account, as well as other issues that repositories bring.

GETTING THERE: Hilo, once a major hub of Hawaii, does not have nonstop flights from Southern California. Round-trip fares from Southern California range from $400 to $800, depending on the season (summer fares are highest).
• Three airlines fly between Honolulu and Hilo. Traditional rivals Aloha and Hawaiian have been joined by Go!, affiliated with Arizona's Mesa Air Group, which has set off a price war that has some fares as low as $74 round-trip. Consider flying into Honolulu and buying a separate ticket for your inter-island hop.
HANG YOUR HAT:The Shipman House. I stayed in this rambling Victorian house refurbished as a bed-and-breakfast. 131 Kaiulani St.; 800-627-8447.
• Waterfalls Inn Bed & Breakfast is another good B&B choice in Hilo, very close to the Shipman House. 240 Kaiulani St.; 808-969-3407.
• Hilo Hawaiian Hotel. My choice among the unspectacular Banyan Drive hotels. 71 Banyan Drive; 808-935-9361.
GOOD EATS: Seaside Restaurant and Aqua Farm. Away from the center of town but worth the drive. 1790 Kalanianaole Ave.; 808-935-8825.
• Restaurant Kaikodo. One of the few spots that could qualify as trendy in laid-back Hilo. 60 Keawe St.; 808-961-2558.
SEE IT: Pacific Tsunami Museum, 130 Kamehameha Ave.; 808-935-0926.
• Imiloa Astronomy Center, 600 Imiloa Place; www.imiloahawaii.org or 808-969-9700. On the University of Hawaii-Hilo campus.
MORE INFORMATION: Big Island Visitors Bureau, 808-961-5797 or www.bigisland.org.

"The Volcano of Mauna Loa was given a grand exhibition of Natural Pyrotechnics. The eruption is described as the most extensive which has taken place in these Islands. The last accounts fears were entertained that the beautiful town of Hilo would be destroyed by the molten river, which was coursing its way hitherward. The scene is described as one of awful sublimity and grandeur."
- The New York Times, April 28, 1852
It is only fitting that the first significant mention of Hilo in America's newspaper of record was of its impending doom.
Sharing space with three volcanoes, rocked by earthquakes, swamped by tidal waves, infested with diseased bugs, and under the very real threat of attack by a foreign power, Hilo has endured much hardship over the decades.
But what turned Hawaii's "second city" into not even a second thought for most mainland visitors was not a catastrophe, but something that happens every week, sometimes every day.
In Hilo, it rains. A lot. The city is the rainiest major city in the United States, averaging 129 inches a year.
So when millionaire Laurance Rockefeller opened his luxurious Mauna Kea resort in 1965 on the sun-baked Kona side of the Big Island, the eyes (and wallets) of tourists turned west.
Hilo was left behind. A quieter, slower, less showy slice of Hawaii. Where every store isn't hawking T-shirts and timeshares, the best beds aren't in hotels but in B&Bs, and the rain is loved for creating rushing waterfalls and lush gardens.
"Being from the Seattle area, we can handle a little rain," said visitor Peter Berg of Coupeville, Wash. "Everything is just so green and beautiful on this side of the Big Island."DRIVE BY
I usually start my trip to Hilo by cruising along Banyan Drive. The pavement buckles a bit from the roots of the huge old banyan trees that were planted in Hilo's tourism heyday by visiting celebrities. There are trees installed by Babe Ruth and Amelia Earhart, but you can measure Hilo's fall from favor by the fact that one of the last trees planted was by Richard Nixon. Many of the nameplates are sadly in need of repair.
When I first visited Hilo two decades ago, the hotels along Banyan Drive were also the main place to stay in town. But while the Kona side of the Big Island boasts many four-diamond AAA resorts, Hilo's offerings top out at two diamonds. Some of the hotels don't even meet the Auto Club's minimum standards anymore.
Hilo has always been a center of Japanese culture in Hawaii. Unfortunately, the once-famous Suisan public fish market has closed. But another good stop is the 30-acre park just beyond Banyan Drive. Although it is named after Hawaiian Queen Liliuokalani, the garden is laid out in a traditional Japanese style with gazebos and a teahouse. A bridge takes strollers out to Coconut Island, with pretty views of the city across the harbor.EARTH AND WAVES
Mauna Loa and Hilo Bay are the source of much viewing pleasure today, but each has dealt punishing blows to Hilo over the years. The volcano has threatened the city many times. In the 19th century, the San Francisco Call reported that a lava flow headed for Hilo was stopped by a princess who made an offering of a pig. In 1935, the U.S. Army actually bombed part of the volcano to try to redirect lava away from Hilo. Earthquakes frequently rumble through the area, the latest just last year, though damage was heavier on the Kona side of the island.
The most serious harm to Hilo has come from the sea. In 1946, a tsunami from Alaska swept across the bay and smashed the city, killing 96. Hilo was just starting to recover when another massive tidal wave pulsing up from Chile slammed ashore in 1960, killing 61. Thirty-foot-long chunks of bayside curbing were found up to 350 feet inland. Hilo's downtown was rebuilt farther from the bay to lessen the impact of future tsunamis.
The story of the sea and the volcanoes that have shaped Hilo's history are told in two museums.
The Pacific Tsunami Museum, in an old bank building on Kamehameha Avenue, explains how the waves are generated and why Hilo's geography has made the city so susceptible to the killer waves. The exhibition includes a half-hour video of residents' recollections of the tsunamis. Exhibitions include one on the catastrophic 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.
The Imiloa Astronomy Center on Hilo's University of Hawaii campus tells the story of Mauna Kea, especially the astronomical work done atop what is the highest mountain in the world, if you count total height from the sea floor to the summit (much of it is under water). You also can get information on visiting the observatory.ON THE TOWN
Downtown Hilo is fun to stroll because, unlike Waikiki in Oahu or Lahaina on Maui, it's a mix of shops that cater to tourists and locals.
"It reminds me of how Hawaii used to be," said Adrienne Skinner of Larchmont, N.Y. "I came through for the first time in 1956. There were no Wal-Marts in Hawaii back then. I come back to Hilo because it isn't a tourist area. If it rains, there are plenty of consignment shops to keep me busy."

Rise Up, Restore, Rejoice! is the capital campaign for Christ Church Greenwich.
We have $8 – 10 million in urgent needs which include:
- Interior Restoration of Our Church: Our Sanctuary is one of the most beautiful worship spaces and interiors in the United States. However, it has deteriorated in its beauty and use. The planned interior restoration will make this holy space more beautiful and useful than it was when it was built. It will also include terribly needed lighting, electronic, and sound systems for a building functioning in the 21st century.
- Renovation of Our Organs: We are blessed with two fine instruments (a main organ and a gallery instrument) installed in the mid-1970s. The capital campaign will provide the opportunity for renovation and renewal of these instruments used for our parish ministries and music ministries in the wider community.
- Accessibility Enhancement: The capital campaign will provide an elevator to connect the 1958 building to the to the Chapel Foyer providing handicapped access between the Lower Hallway and the Sanctuary. We will also develop a plan for other means of accessibility throughout our facilities and upgrade bathrooms so they are more attractive and useable.
- Endowment Growth: Endowment gifts will be consolidated and managed for our long term mission. Additional endowment for property and facilities will allow us to maintain them in a realistic and appropriate manner and strengthen focused ministries for our life together and service to the wider world.
Although this capital campaign will not address every challenge presented by our facilities, it is essential, purposeful, and full of possibilities. It will accomplish many of these things in hopeful and practical ways, and the fabric of our facilities and property will be restored and renewed.
All of these things will allow us to live out our mission: to seek and serve God in all persons and to provide spiritual nourishment for all who journey to find a sacred home. The time is now…
Rise Up, Restore, Rejoice!
For further information about how you can participate, or to schedule a visit, please contact Susan Reed in the Parish Office, 203.869.6600, x-17
What do you know about our Capital Campaign?
Did you know…
- the tracery around the sanctuary's stained glass windows is wood…not stone?
- the interior of the sanctuary is faux painted plaster…not stone?
- the lighting fixture wiring was installed in 1937 and has not been updated?
- one of our Tiffany windows is cracked and buckling?
- the engineering drawings created for our previous campaign have saved us $500,000.00 in current expenses as we seek competitive bids
- with a successful capital campaign, we anticipate starting major repair and restoration in Spring 2014?

I spoke at the kick-off event in September about this image I have of the campaign as a bridge between generations – those who 100 years ago built the sanctuary – those who 50 years ago built the education building – and our children 50 years from now and their children 100 years from now who will still be worshipping here because of the work we will do. We have already raised more money in this campaign than this church has ever raised before. That's terrific news. Thanks for your incredible generosity.

When i first installed moodle it asked for the url path that we would be mostly accessing the server from, which at the time i just put in the servers name so "http://jupiter "
Problem is when you access the site offsite via the internet its missing loads of graphics because its trying to access "http://jupiter. "
My question is where the hell is the option to modify this setting? As it was set in the inital setup, i cannot find it anywhere in the admin options.

The Honda Jazz Hybrid has been officially unveiled and is being prepared for sale in the Japanese domestic market and European markets. The visual updates over the lesser standard models are subtle, with reworked bumpers and headlight glass and a special Lime Green metallic color. The price hike over the cheap standard Jazz isn't slight at all. Apparently a $6,600 NZ premium over the standard Jazz is expected. However, even with the price premium the Hybrid Jazz would still be the cheapest hybrid in the market.
The Jazz Hybrid features the same IMA hybrid drivetrain as the Honda CR-Z and Insight, so it can't quite match the Prius in fuel economy figures, though Honda claims they will be comparable to the smaller CR-Z.
The new Jazz Hybrid will make its formal debut at the Paris Motor Show next month.

Why I chose this property "the pods are exciting and a fun alternative to camping. Realy cosy and relaxing on rainy days so don't let that stop you visiting!"
Anna Gibson - Property Manager
Rivendell Glamping Pods (2675)
8.5 miles SE of Bude | Sleeps 4 | Price Band B/A (£270 - £591)
Picture 1 of 11. True glamping! What could be better than morning coffee al fresco overlooking the glorious countryside?
Rivendell Glamping Pods are curvy, cute, comfortable and unique in design. They provide the opportunity to enjoy camping in luxury with fabulous far reaching views across the Tamar Valley during the day and dark starry skies at night. Set just behind the main farmhouse, on the edge of a paddock and next to the shared children's play-area, these two cedar-clad cylindrical 'Hobbit-style' pods offer living accommodation in one and full washing facilities in the other with shower cubicle, WC, wash-basin and an open-air kitchen sink. The enclosed, raised deck gives plenty of space for all to enjoy al fresco meals or to just sit and relax on the recliners after a day exploring. The living pod has a double bed (4' wide) nestling between the two singles (2' wide), and if the weather is inclement you will be warm and cosy with a flat screen television and DVD player to keep you entertained. Or, just throw open the double doors and enjoy the view from the warmth of the pod! Situated in the small rural hamlet of North Tamerton, the surfing town of Bude with its famous sea pool and many surf schools is only a twenty minute drive away, as is the wide expanse of sandy beach at Widemouth Bay. The bustling market town of Holsworthy is just five miles, and the popular locations of Port Isaac, Boscastle and Padstow are within a thirty minute drive. You are welcome to roam the 250 acres of farmland (please take care with livestock) and if the paddock is empty you are welcome to use this space too, including the fire-pit area at the bottom. You can stroll directly down to the River Tamar and River Deer along the quiet road where you are welcome to fly fish for trout – bring your own licence (or purchase locally) and equipment, or perhaps take a picnic and just enjoy the peace and tranquility. Rivendell is a unique glamping experience situated in a delightful rural area only a short distance from the dramatic north Cornwall/Devon coast. The Rivendell Glamping Pods measure 4.8 metres long, 2.4 metres wide and 2.6 metres high. The lower price band applies for parties of 2 or less. Please note that the changeover times are 4pm on arrival and 11am on departure.

This is my least favourite Bugs and Sam cartoon. The pace is slow and the gags are not funny.

I had barely heard of Mr. Hayden before that and was fascinated by him.

Thanks for letting me hear it again.

As far as I'm concerned, Tom Snyder has never been given the credit he deserves for the Tomorrow show. It was just about the only thing on at 1 a.m. when I was in college or beginning my working life on a late shift, and Snyder did marvelous things with it. I can still remember seeing people I'd barely heard of on it -- Ayn Rand, Henry Miller -- and for a FULL HOUR! I remember a show he did with Broadway composers and another one with old-time radio actors. And those are just a few episodes.

I wish NBC would release some kind of "Best of" DVD of this show, but I'm not about to hold my breath.

Thanks again, Kliph.Mark Murphyhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com

|"X-Force" #1 on sale now
The original "X-Force" debuted at Marvel Comics more than fifteen years ago as a continuation of "The New Mutants," a book that had changed dramatically from its original Chris Claremont and Bob McLeod incarnation in its final days by Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza.
This week, a new "X-Force" debuted with a new mission statement:
There are lines that the X-Men have sworn never to cross. But after the shocking events of "Messiah Complex," Cyclops realizes that some enemies need to be death with permanently. . . and the X-Men can never know about it. Enter Wolverine, Warpath, X-23, and Wolfsbane. . . X-Force.
THE COMMENTARY TRACK is pleased to welcome co-writers Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost (formerly of "New X-Men") to talk about the origins of the new "X-Force," their move away from "decompressed" storytelling, Clayton Crain's artistic contributions to the series, villainous motivations, and much more.
As always, SPOILERS follow.
Craig Kyle: The recap page is the perfect place to start our commentary, as "Messiah CompleX" is where this new version of X-Force was created. And it was at the story summit for "MC" where Chris and I first threw our hats in the ring to write the series. Mike Cary, Ed Brubaker, Peter David and half of Marvel's editorial staff were on hand when this team first came up. We were plotting out the story beats for "Messiah" when I think [editor] Axel [Alonso] brought up the idea of a covert X-trike team. As soon as it became clear that this team would continue as an ongoing after the crossover, Chris and I pounced. We love "New X-Men" but this book was tailor made for us. Fortunately, the other writers in the room seemed to be cool with their current projects, so no weapons or threats had to be introduced into the discussion. Unfortunately, we didn't get the writing job in the room, it took a couple of months for us to find out we landed the gig. Axel gave us the good news shortly after the San Diego Comic-Con.
Christopher Yost: I can't talk about "New X-Men." It's too fresh. I don't want to burn out my keyboard with more tears.
Another thing we pushed for here was the name, "X-Force." The original team name was "War Pack," which, while cool, didn't have the same cache as an "X" title. "X-Ops" just looks weird to me.
The team coming out of "MC" was Wolverine, Warpath, Wolfsbane, X-23, Caliban and Hepzibah. Obviously, things didn't go so well for Caliban, but Hepzibah will be making an appearance, and she has everything to do with Warpath's current mental state. She's not going to be a happy kitty. Or skunk. Whatever she is.
KYLE: First off, "Wow!" How about [artist Clayton] Crain?! This guy is freaking talented! We had this Colorado setting in our heads but neither one of us thought it was going to look like this. We wanted this opening to pull the readers into this new saga. We needed the beauty of Colorado, the wealth of Warren Worthington and the ongoing saga of Wolverine to play together and Clayton wove all of those elements into these first four panels beautifully. When Chris and I got our first batch of pages, we knew we were in for one hell of a ride.
YOST: Yeah, every issue has something pretty stunning in it. There's a shot in issue three that's just so gorgeous, it should be on a wall somewhere. I like how Wolverine looks so cranky here. This entire book is a thorn in Wolverine's already pissed off side. Nothing about X-Force is going to make him happy. Ever.
KYLE: Chris and I have treated a lot of our comic book stories like moving pictures. Meaning we don't write talky books and we let the artists do most of the storytelling. This has worked out real well for us because everyone we've worked with has been so damn talented. But fans do complain about the speed at which they can read our issues. They also tend to not like our "decompressed" type of storytelling. So with this series we reexamined our way of telling stories and changed two things. First, we cover much more story in each issue. We're trying to put two to three issues worth of content into every issue of "X-Force." In doing this, we create our second change, which is beefing up the dialogue and information being conveyed in every page. I think people will have a much deeper read and richer emotional experience as they move through the pages of "X-Force."
YOST: Look how bad-ass Cyclops is here. Just looking it at him, it's like the only reason he's not doing the missions all by himself is because he doesn't have time for it.
KYLE: Turns in a scene are tricky in comics. It's really an art form that I've grown to respect more and more as I've written the books myself. You have all kinds of readers and unlike films or TV series you can't truly control what people see and when they see it. The easiest way to have a strong moment or reveal is to push the image or information to a new page. This way the anticipation begins on the lead up page and creates more suspense as the reader turns from that page to the next. That said, I think panel #5 is a very strong reveal. The flow of the panels and the staging of the last image is very strong. I love how your eyes must move down all the weaponry and armaments to get to our villains. This sets the tone for the killing to come even though we won't see any of it.
YOST: We generally name people we randomly kill in the books after friends and co-workers. Nothing says "I love you" like having someone's namesake killed in a comic.
KYLE: This page marks an important moment in the story for us. Many of the readers coming into this series will know all about the Purifiers and their motivations but what everyone needs to understand is that everything about them is changing. The Purifiers we knew in "New X-Men" and in "Messiah CompleX" will not be the same villains X-Force will be fighting. And I can tell you this time; these guys are going to achieve their goals!
YOST: Blood! Panel #3 is just a hint of what's to come. Even Craig and I weren't prepared for it by the time you get to X-Force's infiltration. And we wrote it.
KYLE: When Chris and I first talked about this scene, we wanted to have all kinds of supervillain tech in the chamber to show that this was a vault where the worst and most dangerous devices were held. Obviously, Clayton didn't agree and he went the cleaner, simpler route. Damn it if he wasn't right. Now all of your focus is on the one containment unit, this was a smart call by the artist. Also, the motion created by the welded crashing door is just tremendous in panel #2. I truly believe that the mark of a great comic book artist is the ability to create a sense of motion in a still image. Clayton does this constantly throughout the series.
YOST: Pages #4 and #5 reflect a bit of input from editor John Barber, whom we resent greatly -- because it was a good suggestion. Present day shots of Woverine and Cyclops at the bottom of the pages keep the reader anchored.
I also like this page because the first time I saw it, I thought they were keeping the object in a volcano, which I thought was tremendously cool.
KYLE: I've been jocking Clayton long enough; let me give a little props to my writing partner for a moment. Chris and I each have characters we're better at writing and certain types of exchanges that we excel in. Panel #4 on this page is one of my favorites from Chris in this issue. We both had a hand in this scene but this one moment nails both Logan and Scott perfectly. This simple back and forth really speaks to who these guys are in this title.
Now that I've said that, I would like to formally take credit for everything else people like in this issue. Anything you hated should be credited to Chris.
YOST: And if you hated it, I did it on purpose. Just to mess with you, dear reader.
Rahne can hear everything they're saying, of course. Is it wrong to think she looks tremendously attractive here? Probably.
I wonder how many times Cyclops and Wolverine have thrown down? It's a tradition. And afterwards, they don't even miss a beat. There's something about this relationship that I love. Hate each other, but at the end of the day – although they'd never say it – they're best friends. They both loved Jean, and they have a bond there that can't be broken, ever.
KYLE: Earlier I spoke about turning scenes, and what happens from this panel moving on the next page is a great example of this.
KYLE: The previous scene with Scott and Logan was painted in cool and dark tones, which gave the scene an intimate and personal vibe. We move from that scene to the warm open skies of this southwest setting creating a beautiful contrast to the previous scene. This and the next page really open up the story and gives a much needed breath in the darkness shown so far. These kinds of bright and vibrant visuals are needed in a book like this, so that the stories don't become too bleak and hopeless.
This change of staging and palette also gives you a small glimpse of the diverse locations and personal stories that we're going to be dealing with in the series. This and the next page are my two favorites in the issue. They are just beautiful.
YOST: Craig also pulled a bunch of reference for these shots for Clayton, but damn. Crain freaks me out with this stuff. Seriously, there are images coming in the upcoming issues that are staggering.
I also love the sense of history here. This is the X-Force pretty much everyone knows. Of course, we're bleeding all over it. Warpath has a comment on it in issue #2 or #3, I believe, about Cyclops appropriating the X-Force name. But it's this kind of small, personal moments that makes the big, big (big) stuff that's coming mean something.
KYLE: Love. This. Page. Looking at the image of Warpath standing inside his brother's symbol speaks volumes for who Warpath is when we open our story. The massive size of the symbol was created intentionally to help sell the smallness of Warpath. He's trying to live up to his brother's legacy and this shot expresses what a daunting task that is for him.
YOST: This pretty much re-affirmed our goal of more splashes. This scene will be revisited.
KYLE: Wolverine is still under the impression that he has some say in what's going down here but this is the moment when he finds out he doesn't. I also like how Wolverine is forced to own up to what he's done to X-23 by bringing her into the X-Men. He's trying to prevent any more harm from coming X-23's way but that's when Scott tells him he's already called her into action. Also I love the way Cyclops' optics paint Wolverine in a red glow. This keeps him the focus of every shot even when we're largely looking at Logan. This was a great choice by Clayton to keep the power in Cyclops's hands throughout the scene.
YOST: This here is essentially a talking heads page, which we were worried about. But the tension here is awesome, it really comes across.
I'm not an art guy, I don't notice a lot of the subtleties that artists put on the page. I love art, but I just don't have that eye that Craig does. But Clayton's art is so freaking visceral. I feel like I can smell it. The texture, the feel, the glare of that visor, I fee like Wolverine's bicep is going to leap off his arm and start kicking ass. I've never really seen anything like it.
It's so easy to write things like "stab through the head." But when Clayton actually does it, he brings it alive in a shocking, horrifying way. Violence is a way of life for these characters, and Clyaton is making you FEEL it. Check out page #19, if you dare.
KYLE: Here we get to see a glimpse inside of X-23. She has begun to revert back into her original living weapon persona. Life with emotions proved to be too difficult for her, so she has decided to accept that her mother was wrong. She is a weapon, not a person. As she moves through the base we get to see her using her sense of smell to track her targets, the cholesterol beat in panel #2 was Chris's idea and I think it's fantastic. She's like a living CSI lab. Here we really get to hear how robotic X-23 is in her thinking. She's doesn't even express emotion as she discusses the Xavier Institute students that were killed right in front of her. It's sad really.
YOST: This is the first time we get inside Laura's head, too, something we hope to continue. I find it fascinating. What's it like to be so emotionally disconnected? And when an emotion comes in, like in issue #4 – it's devastating.
We used the visual representation of scent in both of X-23's minis, and we continue the tradition here.
Her nose looks real!!!! Aaah!
KYLE: When Clayton first came up with the designs for the team, he had X-23's head covered and in this shot you can see how important it is to see her hair and face. She's so beautiful and innocent looking but on the inside she's a cold and emotionless killer. If you lose that outer beauty a lot of her character contrast goes away with it. I love the staging of this shot.
For me personally, one of the most poignant moments in this issue is when X-23 says, "What is my mission?" These are words she hasn't spoken since she escaped her creators. This speaks volumes for her as a character and paints an extremely grim outlook for her chances at becoming a normal person in the future.
YOST: Purifiers are so extreme. He shot his own head off with a shotgun. Who does that? We strive to balance them with normal religious/devout characters in "New X-Men," like Nightcrawler and Dust, but I'm glad to have the opportunity to have Wolfsbane react to the Purifiers' insanity in this series.
Except that she dies in issue #1.
KYLE: This is the panel that explains why Wolverine is a part of this team. Warpath is going in with or without them, X-23 has accepted that she is a weapon to be used and Logan is being dragged into this mess to insure the others make it out alive. He doesn't want to lead this team, he has to. This also shows that Scott put everything in motion knowing full well what Wolverine's reaction would be. It may not have been the nice thing to do but it was the smart choice to make given the situation.
YOST: Cyclops could have kicked Wolverine's ass here, he just chose not to.
We have a list of things to include in each issue, and it's growing: Cyclops's visor, explosions, sunsets and mountains. And one other thing in issue #2 that I can't talk about yet, but holy $#!^ does Crain bring it to life.
KYLE: This is a good place to stop the discussion and let the readers decide for themselves if this is a journey that they want to take. Unlike Cyclops, we don't want to drag fans kicking and screaming month after month on a ride they don't see any fun in.
And for those of you out there who firmly believe you have the series pegged on what it is now and what it will be, let me assure you, you're wrong. Unless of course you think it's going to kick all kinds of X-ass and be the biggest thing Chris and I have ever done in comics. If you think that, you're right.
YOST: Craig did a great job on his commentary. You're probably now dumber for reading mine. You're welcome! In all seriousness, the awesomeness is only beginning. It's lethal, it's missions, it's black ops, it's ultra-violence, but it's also the X-Men's past coming back to bite them in a big, big way. And this issue is just the tip of the iceberg.
KYLE: Thanks for reading!
Thanks again to Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost for filling us in on their latest creation. "X-Force" #1 is on sale now from Marvel Comics.
As always, if you have any titles or creators you'd like to see featured in THE COMMENTARY TRACK, drop us a line. If you're a creator with a book due out soon that you'd like to stop by to talk about in detail, let us know. We're especially looking for artists/colorists/letterers who are looking to talk about their craft, as we've had a shortage of those so far. We're busy behind the scenes lining up books for the weeks ahead, but there's always room for more!

Former McDonald's franchise to pay $211k in fines
Updated On: Feb 19 2014 11:28:43 AM EST
The U.S. Department of Labor says a former McDonald's franchise in central Pennsylvania has agreed to pay about $211,000 in back pay and fines for labor violations that affected 291 employees.
The Labor Department statement on Tuesday says that Cheung Enterprises LLC and president Andrew Cheung of Middletown took advantage of 178 foreign student workers and other employees by making improper deductions from paychecks or failing to pay overtime.
Investigators also say the company charged the student workers excessive rent for substandard housing and deducted that from their paychecks.
A phone listing for Cheung Enterprises was no longer in service, and Cheung no longer operates any McDonald's franchises.
