Just thought that this was interesting. The most popular first word/sign the children of deaf parents I have interviewed so far say that their baby's first word (or among there first words) is moose. MOOSE?!?!?!
One reason for this phenomenon is that the sign for moose is relatively easy and is perhaps the most basic gesture an infant can make. Infants have poor eyesight the first few months after birth and can only see close up (within 18 inches approximately) as well as only high contrasted images. For this reason parents are often up close and in their child's face, talking, cooing, playing, touching, etc. Among these activities the parents hands aren't tied behind their backs. Their hands are kinetic (in Deaf parents more so than Hearing parents).Put yourself in a situation (hypothetically) where you are asked to interact with an infant. Chances are you may very well bring your hands to your face and try on a few funny faces. This is perhaps the easiest way of describing why children sign moose early in their communicational development.
Secondly, because of the ease for signing moose, Deaf parents often incorporate it among other signs such as 'mom', 'dad', 'all done' and the manual alphabet (signed alphabet).
For future reference, I will include on my survey a question regarding the child's first word/sign.
Best, Michael

A Brief History of StreetChoir
and the Album
"Sympathetic Friend"
We have been writing, recording and performing under the banner of StreetChoir since its inception in 1999. Our first album was self-produced and called Tomorrow's Dreams - a collection of songs that both of us had written - and recorded live on ADAT with Joshua Fishburn and Matt Cross. It has the sound of our favorite thing to do during those days: playing music for the late night crowd out on the sidewalks of downtown San Luis Obispo, CA. In those formative days, and all those that came before and have continued since, we always talk about how music is like a room, a home, that you invite others into….we've always believed in the power of music that is made with purpose. To ease, wonder with, and yes entertain, containing all of the mystery and hard facts of life.
We recorded a five song EP called Broadkast in 2001 and then went on to record Forgive and Forget with Kevin Prosch as Engineer/Producer in 2003. Kevin has been a great supporter and encourager to StreetChoir's music since he heard Tomorrow's Dreams and he has always made it clear that he understands our sound and heartbeat. Forgive and Forget seemed like the breakthrough album we had hoped for. However, as these things go, this was not the case. In fact, it didn't lead us to any solid connection in the music industry and we struggled to understand where our music should be performed. It wasn't club music, it wasn't church music and it didn't fit any genre as much as we wanted it to.
We were raised in a Christian home and have a history of leading music in churches. But the music we grew up listening to, our parents' music, was from both worlds and neither purely "secular" music nor purely "Christian" music (and where, after all, is the line between the two?). The Beatles, Phil Keaggy. Led Zeppelin, Keith Green. Simon and Garfunkel, Love Song. Otis Redding, Andre Crouch. There was, and still is, a blend of the two that can be heard in a worship service, on the radio, or in a club. This has been the struggle from the beginning...to walk the line between the two.
We did what we could to connect and find the right setting for our music, all the while fighting our own inner battles regarding who our music should be pointed to. We learned slowly….and painfully, that the right people would not just automatically hear what we heard = our music quickly accepted. We obtained distribution through a new label in Kansas City called ForeRunner Music and performed dozens of times around California between 2003 and 2008. We believed, and still do, that this music is going to lead us somewhere, and that the fruits of our labor will be heard by many.
Three more albums followed: Walk Into This Room (2005), Since We've Been Apart (2007) with KP, and HolyDays (2008). The year 2009 saw the release of our sixth album The Innocence with Kevin once again at the helm. The treasure, blood, sweat and tears spent in order to record, perform and invest in new equipment to keep this music alive and growing…. Many changes have occurred along the way: Benjamin is now married twelve years, has two children and has moved from California to Las Vegas, NV via Amarillo, TX and Louisville, KY. Matt has been married for ten years and lives in Amarillo and our newest member, drummer Nathan Prosch, makes his living in Kansas City, MO. We are worlds apart!
Why would we make another StreetChoir album after all the expense and growing pressures of life that pull us everywhere else but toward making music? Two years had gone by since the release of The Innocence and we didn't exactly need to have anyone pull us aside and say "enough is enough already". This phrase was in our own heads and it took every ounce of strength within the two of us to think about writing more music for StreetChoir, let alone recording another album. In fact, StreetChoir was practically non-existent at that time, 2009-2011, with no hope in sight for continuing on.
It was at that time that a spark ignited us once again. This time it is about making an album with our brother, Nathan Prosch… a man full of passion and love for music and well aware of the impact that sincere, creative and spiritual music can have. It's about Benjamin and his family starting over again in Las Vegas. And it is about Matt finding his way in Amarillo. It was also about Mark Bowden, a long time StreetChoir "patron saint" and the boy you see on the front cover of the album, whose picture was torn and put back together again many years later….and so many others who share with us in this crazy thing we call life. Sympathetic Friend is the sound of lives being lived, of all the ups and downs, the joy and the heartache. We hope you hear what we hear…..

A CIRM Disease Team to Develop Allopregnanolone for Prevention and Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease
Read more
Funding Type:
Disease Team Therapy Development - Research
Grant Number:
ICOC Funds Committed:
Public Abstract:
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is now a nation-wide epidemic and California is at the epicenter of the epidemic. One-tenth of all people in the United States diagnosed with AD live in California. In the US, 5.4 million people have AD and another American develops AD every 69 seconds. No therapeutic strategies exist to prevent or treat AD. Further, current therapies neither treat the disease nor sustain therapeutic benefit. Our goal is to develop a small molecule therapeutic, allopregnanolone (APα), that will prevent and treat AD. APα promotes the ability of brain to regenerate itself by increasing the number and survival of newly generated neurons. The APα-induced increase in newly generated neurons was associated with a reversal of cognitive deficits and restored learning and memory function to normal in a mouse model of AD. Remarkably, APα also reduced the amount of AD pathology in the brain. The unique mechanism of APα action reduces the risk that APα would cause proliferation of other cells in the body. Preclinical findings indicate that APα has the potential to be effective for both the prevention of and early stage treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Further, APα was effective in aged normal mice and induced neurogenesis and restored cognitive function suggesting that APα could be beneficial for sustaining cognitive function and prevent development of AD in a normal aged population. APα has been proven safe in male and female animals and humans. Together, these findings provide a strong foundation on which to conduct a clinical trial of APα in persons with mild cognitive impairment, persons at risk for AD and in those diagnosed AD. We propose a regenerative therapeutic development project that includes late-stage FDA mandated IND-enabling chronic APα exposure, manufacturing and CMC of APα, IND FDA submissions followed by two clinical trials. The first clinical trial is to assess the safety and tolerance of once per week exposure to multiple doses of APα for 12 weeks and to evaluate whether APα is cleared from the blood. We will also evaluate the effect of APα on cognition and effects in brain that could be indicative of regeneration by measuring, by MRI, hippocampal volume, white matter integrity and a marker of functional connectivity. MRI will also be included for safety purposes, as required by FDA, to rule out occurrence of amyloid related imaging abnormalities (ARIA). In the second, proof of concept trial, 144 participants will be randomized to a single APα dose (selected based on the prior dosing and safety study) or placebo, given weekly over 48 weeks. The primary objectives of this clinical trial are to further assess safety and tolerability and to determine the impact of APα on cognition and MRI biomarker outcomes to support subsequent phase 3 development. Joining us in this endeavor are internationally recognized experts who share our commitment to developing a therapeutic to halt the epidemic of AD.
Statement of Benefit to California:
California is at the epicenter of the epidemic of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Nationwide there are 5.4 million persons living with AD. Ten percent or over half a million Californians have AD. Among California's baby boomers aged 55 and over, one in eight will develop AD. It is estimated that one in six Californians will develop a form of dementia. By 2030 the number of Californians living with AD will double to over 1.1 million. While all races and ethnic groups and regions of the state will be affected, not all regions within California will be equally affected. Los Angeles County has the greatest population in the state and thus will be the true epicenter of the Alzheimer's epidemic in California. Alzheimer's is a disease that affects an entire family, community and health care system. Nation-wide there are nearly 15 million Alzheimer and dementia caregivers providing 17 billion hours of unpaid care per year. Total costs for caring for people with AD, totals $183 billion per year. California shouldered $18.3 billion of those costs and most of those costs were born by persons and health care services in Los Angeles County. Because of the psychological and physical toll of caring for people with Alzheimer's, caregivers had $7.9 billion in additional health care costs. Proportionally that translates into $790 million of health care costs for Californians. In total, California spent over $19 billion per year for costs associated with Alzheimer's disease. Multiple analyses indicate that a delay of just 5 years can reduce the number of persons diagnosed with Alzheimer's by 50% and dramatically reduce the associated costs. We seek to develop a regenerative therapeutic, allopregnanolone (APα) to prevent and treat AD. APα promotes the innate regenerative capacity of the brain to increase the pool of neural progenitor cells. The APα-induced increase in neurogenesis was associated with a reversal of cognitive deficits and restored learning and memory function to normal in a mouse model of AD. Further, APα reduced the development of AD pathology. APα crosses the blood brain barrier and acts through a mechanism unique to neural progenitor cells and thus is unlikely to exert proliferative effects in other organs. Because APα was efficacious in both pre pathology and post-pathology stages of AD progression, APα has the potential to be effective for both prevention of and early stage treatment of AD. A regenerative therapeutic for Alzheimer's that both halts the disease while regenerating the brain will restore both the person afflicted with the disease and those that give care.

On Sunday, May 23, 2010, Dignity/Honolulu celebrated its 34th Anniversary with a special Mass and potluck supper at St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Honolulu, their weekly liturgy site. The theme "Victory" was proclaimed by Tim Earhart, Chapter President, congratulating the chapter for achieving 34 years of ministry to the Catholic LGBT community in Hawaii, and also for the passage of the civil unions bill by the Hawaii State Legislature. The community is awaiting the Governor's action on the bill. Editor's note: Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle has until July 6, 2010, to decide how to respond to the bill.
On Saturday, June 5th, Dignity/Honolulu participated in the 20th Honolulu LGBT Pride Parade with a marching unit and vehicle (Tim Earhart's electric car). After the completion of the parade through Waikiki, there was a festival in Kapiolani Park where Dignity/Honolulu had an information table. Chapter members fielded questions, distributed Chapter and DignityUSA literature, and sold T-shirts.

Rory McIlroy won the British Open on Sunday and, in doing so, helped his dad cash in on a prescient decade-old bet.
McIlroy's dad, Gerry, and three of his friends each bet 100 British pounds 10 years ago that the golf prodigy would win the Open before turning 26. At 500-1 odds, the bet would pay out $340,000 should the bold prediction come true. And indeed, the 25-year-old McIlroy held on to claim the victory Sunday, making him the third player ever to win three majors by that age — and making his dad a decent chunk of change to boot.
Not bad for a day at the links.
Three Republican lawmakers in Idaho refused to attend the state Senate's daily invocation because it was being given by a Hindu guest chaplain.
A Hindu prayer from guest chaplain Rajan Zed opened the Idaho State Senate today. (Jeff Myers photo) 1/2 pic.twitter.com/2xR17kQksD
— Idaho Public Radio (@IdahoPubRadio) March 3, 2015
On Tuesday, Rajan Zed, president of the Universal Society of Hinduism, shared a prayer in English and Sanskrit that focused on selflessness and peace and was well-received by the senators who listened, The Associated Press reports. The three who sat out — Sens. Steve Vick, Sheryl Nuxoll, and Lori Den Hartog — did so because of their belief that the United States is a Christian nation, Nuxoll said. "Hindu is a false faith with false gods," she told AP. "I think it's great that Hindu people can practice their religion but since we're the Senate, we're setting an example of what we, Idaho, believe." She also stated that she thought a Christian prayer should have been said along with Zed's Hindu prayer.
When the Senate and House in Idaho convene, a prayer is said by the chamber's chaplains from Christian denominations, AP reports, and guest chaplains are also often invited to speak. Zed has delivered Hindu prayers to the U.S. House and Senate as well as several state legislatures.
Women make up only five percent of the U.S. Border Patrol's 21,000 agents, yet last year the number of females trying to cross into the U.S. illegally rose by 173 percent, Fox News reports.
According to agent Yesenia Leon, having a female agent pat search another female is "not necessary... but it is preferred." Fellow agent Marcella Benson added that with more female agents, "we kind of are able to relate to a female [immigrant] a little easier than it would be for a male to relate."
By September, Fox reports, the U.S. Border Patrol plans to hire 1,600 new female agents, and 5,700 women have already applied. The hiring process can take months, and 13 weeks of rigorous training at the academy is required.

Among the most interesting items available to the public are a statue of late Bacall's late husband, Humphrey Bogart, and a well-traveled steamer trunk engraved with Bogart's initials.
Also included among the 740 items to be auctioned over the course of four sessions are a large collection of jewelry and various pieces of art, including a painting done by late Sen. Ted Kennedy.
Bacall donated many of her iconic fashion pieces to the Fashion Institute of Technology before her death, and several will be on display there til April 4. Watch a video detailing the Bacall collection below. —Teresa Mull
After months of drama, the House of Representatives on Tuesday passed a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security with no strings attached targeting President Obama's executive action on immigration. The "clean" bill, which funds DHS through Sep. 30, passed by a 257 - 167 vote.
House Republicans had sought to hold DHS funding hostage in an attempt to scuttle Obama's immigration move. But Senate Democrats refused to give in and, with a partial DHS shutdown looming, Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio) finally cut loose the right wing of his caucus and agreed to bring the Senate's bipartisan DHS bill up for a vote.
Police in Ferguson, Missouri, displayed an overt bias against African-Americans in the course of their law enforcement duties, according to a Justice Department investigation.
The DOJ review found that Ferguson's police department routinely violated the constitutional rights of blacks, disproportionately targeted them for arrest, and often used excessive force against them, according to leaked details of the report. The report also uncovered a 2008 email between police and court employees joking that President Obama would not be president for long because, "what black man holds a steady job for four years?"
The full report, which arose after a white police officer fatally shot an unarmed black teenager last summer, is due out Wednesday.—Jon Terbush
Ah, the land of stock photos. It is a unique place, filled with people in ill-fitting business suits, lots of firm handshakes, and okay, plenty of cute puppies, too.
Over the next three weeks, you may notice some more familiar faces in stock photo land, courtesy of a promotion for Vince Vaughn's new movie, Unfinished Business. Twentieth Century Fox teamed up with iStock by Getty Images to create a series of photos featuring Vaughn, along with his co-stars Tom Wilkinson and Dave Franco, Adweek reports. The results are disturbingly good — or bad, depending on how you look at it — and should fit right in when you search for terms like "synergy."
Take a look at three of the frames, complete with their iStock captions, below. —Sarah Eberspacher

It's one thing for a historic landmark to contain, say, a time capsule, like the one found in a statue at Boston's Old State House. But what happens when a monument is filled with bird poop?
The 14th-century Landgate Arch in Rye, East Sussex, was filled with 25 tons of pigeon droppings. The cleanup took four days and required a custom-built pressure tanker to suck the waste out of the arch's towers.
The Rother District Council, which owns the monument, discovered the droppings last month. The buildup was apparently bad enough that the CountyClean Environmental Services workers had to force the monument's doors open.
"Whilst we've removed other massive blockages, such as giant fatbergs in sewers, we have never seen such a monumental mass of festering feces before," Mike Walker, CountyClean Environmental Services' managing director, said in a statement. "Once inside, it was like walking on a giant chocolate cake and the smell was awful — even through a facemask."
President Obama on Tuesday shrugged off Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's fiery speech criticizing the ongoing Iranian nuclear negotiations, saying the foreign leader "didn't offer any viable alternatives."
"As far as I can tell, there was nothing new," Obama said, adding that Netanyahu gave a nearly identical speech last year full of dire predictions that have not come true.
In his controversial address to a joint session of Congress, Netanyahu claimed the Obama administration's nuclear negotiations would "pave Iran's path to the bomb."
Forget about keeping your phone charger on your bedside table — soon, the table itself will be the only charger you need.
Ikea's new "Home Smart" collection, out in April, features tables and lamps that can wirelessly charge mobile devices. And if you already have your fair share of Ikea tables, the line will also include "charging pads" that can be attached to regular furniture.

The Home Smart furniture features Qi, a wireless charging standard found in Windows and Android phones. While iPhones don't support wireless charging, Ikea will also sell charging covers for iPhone 4, 4S, 5, 5S, and 6 models so they will work with the furniture.
Despite creative shakeups, cast shakeups, and outright cancellation from NBC, Community is the sitcom that just can't be killed. For its fabled sixth season, the series is moving online to Yahoo! Screen.
The trailer for the new season riffs on the ultra-serious trailer for this summer's Avengers: Age of Ultron. (Abed would undoubtedly approve.) But while Pierce, Troy, and Shirley have all moved on, things are looking reliably zany at Greendale:
Community season 6 premieres on Yahoo! Screen on March 17.

Golden Flame boat
The after-conference party will take place on a boat - the Golden Flame - that will moor at the Festival Pier, a five-minute walk from the conference venue. The boat will depart at 6:00pm sharp for a 4-hour ride along the Thames and will return to Festival Pier at 10pm.
Completely remodeled in 2007, the boat's upper deck's saloon with a fully-stocked bar leads out to the sundeck where a barbecue will be served while a band plays live music. But the party will be set in motion with a Champagne reception!
The spacious lower deck has seats, benches and tables. In line with recent legislation the interiors of the party boat are non-smoking; however smoking is permitted on the large open deck. A cloakroom will be opened on board. Appropriate low-heeled footwear is recommended.
So, if you want to enjoy a unique party on one of the world's great rivers, take it from me: Do not miss the boat!

Roundabout, also coming to PC, Mac and Linux, is a game in which players attempt to guide a spinning limousine past urban obstacles and through narrow streets. Roundabout is the product of Dan Teasdale's No Goblin, an indie outfit he started after stints at Harmonix and Twisted Pixel.
If you'd like to sample Roundabout ahead of its launch later this year, No Goblin will have a playable build on showcase at PAX East. This year's PAX East show takes place April 11 - 13 in downtown Boston, and will be held once again at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. Unless you've already purchased your ticket, however, the odds of getting into PAX East are pretty much nonexistent.

Everything you want to know and more, about your menopause age
In Western countries most women go through menopause at age 50-51. But this is just an average. Some women go through menopause at 45 while others may not pass through until they are in their mid-50s.
Individual differences between women make exact prediction of menopause very difficult. Doctors talk about the timing of menopause as average, early and late.
The Dreaded "M" word…
Most of us don't think about menopause very much until we reach our late thirties and early forties. Or at least, if we do think about it, it's often with a vague feeling of apprehension.
But it's not uncommon to feel terrified about the whole menopause thing - hardly surprising because the "M" word has such a negative press in Western culture.
OK - so let's take a look at this fear:
Advertisement. Article continues below
Google Ads are supplied randomly and are not endorsed by Natural-Menopause-Journey.com
Biological menopause means that the reality of the aging process is upon us. And let's face it, our personal aging process is something, that given a choice, most of us would rather not think about.
The whole idea of aging brings with it the implicit assumption of the approach of death. And death - has become almost taboo in our youth obsessed society.
But there are some upsides of menopause too...
Why women are concerned...
Women have good reasons for wanting to know when they will go through menopause. Here are some of those reasons:
Menopause – the great equaliser...
Menopause age does vary between different women, but in spite of this, menopause comes to all women sooner or later. Rich or poor, fat or thin, tall or short – there are no exceptions.
No woman who survives middle life remains naturally fertile.
Women have evolved to go through menopause – just as we go through menarche in adolescence. There is a natural window of fertility in early to mid adult life and menopause is the signal that this window has now closed.
But the closing of the window of fertility is the opening of a door of opportunity...
...to fully become the woman you are capable of becoming.
It's your choice.

Stuffed French Toast Casserole with Fruit
Posted By Jen On March 30, 2011 @ 8:33 am In Breakfast,Recipes | 20 Comments
Regardless of how many mouths I have to feed, there always seems to be a few pieces of left over bread discarded, with new loaves opened. Yes, no regards for finishing the last loaf. I never get that. Do the kids not see those last few pieces? Is there some magnet towards new loaves of bread?
By the end of the week, I have five or six miscellaneous pieces, and since we are trying to cut down on our food waste, one of my many creations of French Toast are put to use.
Typically, when you hear Stuffed French Toast Casserole, especially with strawberries, one thinks of saving this recipe for only special occasions, but there's really no need. It's easy, fairly quick to assemble, and I use what ever fruit is in season or has been marked down in the produce aisle, or even canned fruit when you are in a pinch. Do know that this recipe works perfectly well without the fruit. Fruit just takes it from typical to terrific.
Since I always have a large group to feed for brunch type events, my French Toast Bake is one of my easy "go to" items, along with my hashbrown casserole, Sausage Egg Cresent Roll Recipe [4] and baking bacon in the oven. [5]
We've talked here before about those recipes that we make without exact measurements and this is one of those. I've made this for so many years, that I just kind of dump, and add based on what I have on hand.
Ideally, you should take the time to remove all the crusts from the bread slices, and cut the bread into nice, petite one inch cubes, but when I cook for large group, my goal is to get it done quickly, while still being yummy, so often make it with full slices (as shown in the above pictures).
Stuffed French Toast Casserole with Fruit
- 12 slices firm bread, remove crusts, cubed
- 8 ounces of cream cheese, cubed or softened (depending on your preference)
- 8 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup of syrup
- 2 cups of milk (or mixture of half and half, cream and milk equaling two cups) If I have flavored coffee creamer on hand, like hazelnut, I have added some fun taste dimension with a bit of that.
- Fruit, your preference – strawberries, peaches, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries etc. (This is optional, but so yummy.)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 TB sugar (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla or almond extract
Butter 9×13 baking dish. Layer half of bread slices or cubed pieces. Cover with softened cream cheese, either by spreading on bread slices or layering cubed cream cheese pieces, and then generously layer your choice of fruit. (**If you enjoy a bit more of a sweet cream cheese, blend in about 2 Tablespoons of sugar, but not necessary.)
Have fun with the fruit choices. I have used a mixture of every fruit imaginable.
Cover with remaining bread. Blend eggs, milk, syrup, cinnamon and vanilla, and pour over bread; cover and refrigerate overnight or minimum of one hour.
Preheat oven, and bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes to one hour.Serve with whip cream and syrup. *** Please note that since the cream cheese is not sweetened, the natural sweetener will come only from the fruit, and then the syrup served with this french toast. If you desire it a bit more sweet, mix some honey or sugar in with the softened cream cheese, which is what I do.

Third Party Manufacturers / Re: Still waiting for high MP canon while Nikon is coming out with new 800
« on: May 23, 2014, 08:25:56 AM »The thing I wonder about your post and others like it is - how many people "need" 36+ MP?
The thing I wonder about your post and others like it is why do you care? I want a high MP body, I can pay for it, and I'm tired of people telling me I don't (why do people overquote?) "need" it. I want it, got it?
Because we are trying to help you get better images. ...
That's great, thanks for the unasked for and unwanted help! Maybe I/we want a high MP body because we like gadgets, maybe we just like lots of pixels, maybe we have too much disk space that needs filling, or maybe we feel it will help us get better pictures. Who cares? But stop dictating the same, tired trope that more pixels doesn't give better pictures. I suspect that people who push this idea are trying to convince themselves more than us, maybe they can't afford it? Or more likely, maybe they can't afford the infrastructure to handle the larger shots?
Anyhow I have cameras that span the gamut, from Google Glass on my head to a 5D with a ton of glass perched on it. Guess what? The more pixels with the better glass gives me better pictures! Technically they're better, and even more I take far more care with them, so get better shots. At the low end with my phone or Glass, I'll just snap away and hope for the best.
Sure some nabob will promptly say, for the thousandth time, that a cell phone camera can take a picture worthy of National Geographic. Yeah, whatever, we've heard that a few times, but I have yet to see a iPhone shot that made it on those pages with any regularity. Regardless you don't find us telling you guys that 24 isn't enough for you, so stop trying to tell us that 24 is enough for us.

If front was in the stock location and I moved the rear as far forward as the cab allowed it would be 104" wheelbase.
But I am stretching the front several inches so I will mostlikely be in the 108-110" ballpark. |
November 8th, 2009, 08:38 PM | #66 |
I thought the thinnest point on the frame for the buckets was the right spot If you're at 111", I don't think it's going to matter. You have to get the front out far enough to be clear of that retarded engine crossmember. You still need to cut that down btw
My Jeep |
November 8th, 2009, 08:44 PM | #67 |
Yep, gonna try and find some plasma consumables local tomorrow to make that easier as well as I need to replenish my stock of cut-off discs, get longer body mount bolts, and some new exhaust manifold bolts.
I flatened the frame to make it easier to mount the buckets and trac bar wherever I needed to and not be limited from the bulges in the frame. |
November 11th, 2009, 10:06 PM | #74 |
Skid and radius arm mounts tac'd into place for mock up.
Side view Another View You can see the amount of clearance we gave the crossmember. Side view of the front axle in its new location. Looks like when its all set I'll be at 111" for wheelbase. Stock was 133" Pushing front axle 11" and moving rear axle forward 33" Last edited by CheapThrillB2; November 11th, 2009 at 10:15 PM. |

Lookin good.
What size heims are you using, front and rear etc...? A friend of mine is doing a full size (going from leafs to coils) and needs all the ideas he can get. thanks
Hay, look at me... I have a signature..... RIP FULLSIZE4LIFE |

Senior Member
So the skid plate bolted to the frame is going to support the radius arm mounts also? Are the six bolts going to be strong enough to support the whole force of the axle if it were to have a hard rearward impact?

Nuvagenic Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
If you take a look at the official websites for weight loss pills, you will typically encounter a spiel about how the product is the best fat loss formula to date. There is often a lot of hype, and maybe a few claims about scientifically proven ingredients. Well, sadly many of these diet products do not live up to the hype. Some do not even contain any proven weight loss ingredients. We are now going to take a closer look at Nuvagenic, which is a weight loss formula sold online, with no prescription required.
- Green Tea Extract
- African Mango Extract
- Acai Berry Fruit Extract
- Pomegranate Extract
- Caffeine
Product Features
Nuvagenic is claimed to support a healthy metabolism, reduce belly fat, accelerate weight loss, and provide daily nourishment. This capsule formula also improves energy levels, encourages a tighter and trimmer body, and is supposed to do so without causing any side effects. Unfortunately there is no healthy diet plan or exercise regimen recommended with Nuvagenic. Also, there are no customer testimonials found to support this diet pill.
There are five different ingredients mentioned for Nuvagenic pills. The first is African Mango Extract, which is claimed to aid with fat burning. It is especially supposed to address fat in the midsection or tummy region. Green Tea Extract is another ingredient found in this supplement, and it contains caffeine to boost the metabolism. Pomegranate Extract is added for antioxidant support, and Caffeine is included as a stimulant to boost energy levels. The final ingredient is Acai Berry Extract, which provides fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins for overall nourishment. There does not appear to be a solid refund guarantee offered with Nuvagenic.
- This diet product contains fruit extracts with antioxidants.
- Nuvagenic is available online, and no prescription is needed.
- This weight loss supplement may boost your energy levels.
- The two forms of caffeine in this diet pill may cause some side effects.
- This weight loss pill is like so many others available today.
- There is no clinical evidence supporting Nuvagenic capsules.
- No user testimonials were found to support this weight loss formula.
- You cannot get your money back once you buy Nuvagenic.
When all is said and done, Nuvagenic capsules are very similar to countless other diet pills available at this point. The difference is Nuvagenic is not supported by any clinical research, user testimonials, or a satisfaction guarantee. On the other hand, other diet pills are. You should note that this weight loss formula does contain two forms of caffeine, which means it may lead to some side effects, such as anxiety, rapid heartbeat, insomnia, and nervousness. In the end, we do not recommend Nuvagenic pills.

Few employees able to cash in unused sick leave
November 04, 1999
Most employees in medium and large private establishments were not allowed to turn in unused sick leave for compensation in 1997.
[Chart data—TXT]
Of employees who received sick leave in medium and large private establishments, just 17 percent were allowed to obtain cash in exchange for unused sick days. Among those employees in a sick-leave plan with a cash-in provision, roughly half also had a carryover provision in their plan.
In particular, 9 percent of employees with a sick leave benefit could opt to cash in their sick leave or carry it over from year to year—8 percent were subject to a cash-in provision only.
Over half of workers who received sick leave in medium and large private establishments were able to carry over days of sick leave from year to year; specifically, 53 percent were permitted to carry over unused sick leave. Among those employees in a sick-leave plan with a carryover provision, about 4 out of 5 faced a limit on the total number of days accumulated.
These data are from the BLS Employee Benefits Survey. Learn more in Employee Benefits in Medium and Large Establishments, 1997, BLS Bulletin 2517(PDF 804 K). Sick leave data presented here are for full-time employees.

Tahari plans to expand its retail presence in the U.S. and abroad. Right now, the company is considering locations in such markets as Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Chicago and Miami for additional freestanding stores.
"From a store perspective, I look for us to grow in a double-digit manner over the next few years," said Galvin.
Tahari opened a full-price pop-up shop in June at 510 Fifth Avenue in New York, which he's using as a laboratory. Products are manufactured on the fourth and fifth floors of the building and are then tested in the store. The space is frequently the site of photo shoots.
"Elie's vision is to take that and roll it out to a larger retail footprint," said Galvin.
He noted, too, that Tahari and the visual, sales, marketing and design teams spend time in the store. "Elie's always going down there. That's where he starts and ends his day. We do test shoots for the e-commerce team down there. We do set-ups for the mannequin displays, and we have DJs on Thursdays."
He said the store is also a useful tool to get customer feedback — "It's part commercial and part experimental."
The pop-up will remain open through the end of the year.
To celebrate its 40th anniversary, Tahari will offer Elie Tahari Edition 1974, a select group of pieces that encapsulate his career, such as a suit, a leather piece, a tube top and a trenchcoat. They will be available in stores this spring.
International expansion is another big initiative at the firm. Currently, Tahari is distributed in more than 30 countries, including Australia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, the Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Ireland, the U.K., the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Azerbaijan, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Brazil, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Panama, Dubai, Israel, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bermuda and South Africa.
"We are growing in Eastern Europe, Middle East and Asia," said Guidetti, who was previously senior vice president of international sales at St. John. "We are currently registering great sell-through performance from the spring 2013 season. Our major partners in Spain, Mexico and Korea are also registering a positive performance from the previous year."
At present, 10 percent of Tahari's business is done overseas, with plans to grow to 30 percent, he said. There are 250 points of distribution overseas and nearly 50 freestanding shops.
Guidetti noted that over the next 12 months, the main focus will be on China, Eastern Europe, the U.K., France and Germany.
"I always welcome and target customers and cities where the affluence of tourism is growing and becoming a significant part of their business," he said. He noted that this month, the company's e-commerce site will add the capabilities to ship internationally to more than 100 countries.
Interestingly, Tahari has built a half-billion-dollar business (in wholesale and retail sales) with relatively little traditional advertising.
"We haven't had a big advertising presence," said Scott Currie, vice president of global communications. "She [the customer] is coming in for the clothes because she identifies with the brand."
Galvin said the company made a big investment in developing an e-commerce Web site. Tahari also likes to go into the stores, make personal appearances and get involved with charity events, such as Saks Fifth Avenue's "Catwalk for the Cure," an annual event that takes place in Houston in November. This year, as the featured designer, Tahari will present a fashion show of his spring looks at the Hotel ZaZa.
The biggest wholesale markets currently for the Elie Tahari brand are New York, California, Las Vegas, Florida and Dallas. The brand also does a strong business in Greenwich, Conn., and Houston. Top accounts are Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale's, Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus. Galvin noted that Elie Tahari is the largest sportswear vendor at Saks and is in 43 doors. The brand has the largest space on the "Wear Now" fourth floor, a 2,500-square-foot shop.
Joseph Boitano, group senior vice president and general merchandise manager of Saks, said, "Tahari has been and continues to be an important brand for Saks Fifth Avenue. Their dedication to outstanding design, precise tailoring and use of elegant fabrics is exactly what the Saks customer wants."
At Bloomingdale's, "For the last 20 years, Elie has been the backbone of our New View department," said Frank Doroff, vice chairman and general merchandise manager of ready-to-wear and bloomingdales.com.
Galvin said for the current fall season, product has performed well and the initial read is strong.
Besides helping transform the company's mind-set, creating a vibrant international business and expanding products and direct-to-consumer business, Galvin said, "We want to make sure the here and now is functioning properly and that we're moving the ball forward. Elie is thinking two or three steps down the road. He's thinking about what will happen with the market, how the consumer will want to shop, what's the message we want to send. The one thing about Elie is, he's not opposed to change."
He also said he's learned a lot from Tahari.
"I'm able to gain a better understanding of him, the vision and the aesthetic.…I think of the world of Elie as far as what he creates, the vision he has and how he wants to reshape the way the business is conducted," Galvin stated. "He's not looking to say, 'What was done the last 10 years?' Elie is thinking about what he wants to do for the next 10 years. He's absolutely focused on the future."

Luiz Suarez does not bark; he bites. The Uruguay striker seems to have a clear hunger for goals and opponents. Banned or fined, Suarez keeps biting.
Right or wrong, he is always in the headlines. Suarez did not score Tuesday to send Italy packing but his 80th-minute antics dominated the sports news across the globe.
The baby-faced Latin American snacked on defender Giorgio Chiellini's shoulder when they collided and tumbled onto the ground in the Italy penalty area. Chiellini eventually got up, pulled down his shirt and furiously indicated he had been bitten on the shoulder. Suarez, on the other hand, grabbed his teeth as if he was in pain as well. The Mexican referee too saw the bite mark but took no action at all. But, the bad news for Suarez is that Fifa, the football's world governing body, has weighed in and started a probe that may lead to a lengthy ban on a player of unquestionable talent. The maximum ban for such an offence is for 24 matches or for two years. Fifa is also probing an alleged Suarez punch on Chilean defender Gonzalo Jara during a World Cup qualifier.
It was the third time the man now known as The Cannibal has sank his teeth on an opponent during a match. His two other teeth offences happened at club level. A mercurial footballer, Suarez was first banned and fined in 2010 for biting the PSV Eindhoven midfielder Otman Bakkal. His wayward teeth again seized the spotlight while playing for English club Liverpool in 2013. This time, the 27-year-old bit Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic on the arm and then went on to level the match at 2-2.
This has been his modus operandi in a chequered career of glory and ignominy. He loves to score goals and create controversies.
Ghana will never forgive Suarez. Dominic Adiyiah was about to put Ghana through to the 2010 World Cup semis in the final minutes of extra time, but Suarez leapt up and prevented the ball going in with his hands. The referee saw everything and sent him off. But Asamoah Gyan missed the resulting penalty and Suarez celebrated wildly on the sidelines. That was not enough as Uruguay went on to snatch the victory in a shoot-out, with Suarez making faces.
Suarez was banned for eight matches and fined £40,000 for racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra in 2011. He refused to shake Evra's hand when Liverpool met United again next year. His ban was extended by one match when he was seen making an offensive gesture towards Fulham fans.
He also celebrated a goal by diving in front of the then Everton manager, David Moyes, who had earlier claimed that "divers such as Suarez are putting fans off the English game."
Everybody thought the World Cup was over for Suarez after he got himself badly injured four weeks back. He sat out the first match as he did not recover fully, but, playing in the next match, he scored twice to send England tumbling out of the World Cup. In the match against Italy, he did not score but bit.
Will he bite or score in Uruguay's next match against Colombia on June 29? Of course, he may not be there for the next match or the rest of the World Cup if Fifa decides to take prompt action against the belligerent striker. One thing is for sure – with Luis Suarez, there is never a dull moment even when he is off the field. Let's wait and see!

Concierge.com's insider take:
The largest island in the Bay, Angel Island was home to the Miwok Native Americans before being taken over by the Spanish, and it was later used as an immigration and quarantine station. The hiking is gorgeous, despite a 2008 wildfire that charred half the island. Come between February and April for the best wildflower displays. You can tour the immigration station year-round. Climb to the top of 800-foot Mount Livermore to enjoy a picnic while contemplating the spectacular view. The ferry to the island departs from the Ferry Building and Pier 41 (415-705-5555; www.blueandgoldfleet.com).—Updated by John Vlahides

Noordin Top, a master bomber, headed Southeast Asia's version of Al Qaeda.
JAKARTA — Ending a six-year national dragnet, Indonesia's elite counterterrorism force killed the self-proclaimed leader of Southeast Asia's version of Al Qaeda Thursday in a dramatic six-hour firefight in the central Javanese city of Solo.
Malaysian-born Noordin Mohammed Top has been behind every terrorist bombing in Indonesia since 2003: the first Jakarta Marriot hotel bombing that year, the 2004 Australian Embassy bombing, the 2005 Bali bombings and July's coordinated attacks on the Marriot and Ritz-Carlton hotels in Jakarta that killed seven people, six of them foreigners. More than 50 people were also injured in that attack.
"In this holy month of Ramadan the country of Indonesia has been blessed," Bambang Hendarso Danuri, Indonesia's chief of police, said at a press conference. "This is a gift."
It also removes a big security threat to U.S. President Barack Obama, who's planning to visit his former childhood home later this year.
The police acted on a tip given to them by two suspects arrested just hours before the raid began. The suspects said they believed several militants were hiding out in a small house in Solo, a city known as a bastion of radical activity. Police did not know Noordin was inside at the time.
At about midnight Thursday, police evacuated villagers surrounding the house and through a loudspeaker asked the militants to come outside with their hands in the air. The militants began firing, sparking a six-hour shootout. At about 4 a.m., an explosion went off inside the house, leading to speculation that the militants had detonated a suicide bomb to avoid arrest. Rumors had long swirled that Noordin had explosives strapped to his body at all times. Police, however, said the militants were killed by gunfire.
After Noordin's body was brought to a Jakarta hospital, it was so badly mutilated that it took forensic experts hours to identify him.
Inside the house, which had been blasted apart, police said they found 200 kilograms of explosives, an M-16 machine gun with bullets, a laptop and documents. The documents, they said, pointed to several connections between the militants and Al Qaeda, but they did not elaborate.
The commandos also killed Bagus Budi Pranato in the raid. Known as Urwah, he is a reputed bombmaker thought to be involved in July's bombings. Urwah is known to be one of Noordin's closest associates and helped Noordin coordinate the Australian Embassy bombing before his arrest several months before. He was released in April 2007, only three and a half years later.
Sidney Jones, an analyst with the International Crisis Group in Jakarta, said Urwah was able to re-establish contact with Noordin almost immediately after his release, revealing how well-connected Indonesia's militants are.
The two others killed were Adib Susilo, who rented the house, and Aji, who police said was a protege of the Malaysian Azahari Husin, a master bombmaker who came to Indonesia alongside Noordin but was killed by Indonesian police during a 2005 raid on his house.
Noordin had reached almost legendary status in militant circles for his almost magical ability to evade capture. In the last six years he has been minutes away from being caught on half a dozen occasions. He was nearly caught last month when police raided a farmhouse in central Java. The ensuing 16-hour shootout, however, turned up only one body.

Shallow-Braised Lamb Steaks with Red Wine Reduction
If you've got a tagine, it's perfect for cooking this way, since you're just about forced to use very low heat and very little liquid, but mom did quite well with a beat-up frying pan.
With a tagine, you often end up with more liquid when you're done cooking than what you started with, which seems impossible. A dutch oven or any heavy-bottomed pot with a tight lid works just as well for this recipe, though. It's not the equipment, but the cooking method that's important. The key is very, very very low heat. A bare simmer, and no more. It takes a long time to cook, but I think the results are well worth it.
Instead of pork shoulder steaks that were mom's signature dish, I used lamb steaks. These go by different names from different purveyors, and they can look a little different as well, but what you're looking for are the tougher/fattier cuts of lamb rather that the rib or t-bone chops that are meant to be cooked to that perfect medium rare. Lamb shanks, neck bones, or other stew-worthy cuts of lamb would work just as well.
The wine in the recipe is used both for braising the the lamb and for making a sauce to drizzle over the top. The cherries add a nice tartness to the braise, while the tepin peppers add a bit of heat to the sweeter wine reduction. It balances nicely.
The amount of tepin pepper added here doesn't result in a hot and spicy sauce. Instead, it's a fleeting heat that adds interest but lets you taste everything else in the dish.
Besides drizzling on the lamb, the wine reduction has a variety of other uses. It can be added to other sauces or braises, added to a salad dressing for a little sweet heat, or drizzled over fresh fruit - or even ice cream. I used a Merlot for this recipe, but use any red wine you like.
Shallow-Braised Lamb Steaks with Red Wine Reduction
4 lamb steaks
3/4 cup red wine
1/2 cup dried tart cherries
1/2 medium onion, in 1/4-inch slices
Salt and pepper to taste
Oil, for searing
For the wine reduction:
1/2 bottle (375 ml) red wine
1/2 cup sugar
12 tepin peppers
Season the lamb steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat about a tablespoon of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot with a tight lid. A tagine in perfect for cooking this way, but a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed frying pan will work as well. Brown the steaks on both sides, then add the wine and scrape up the browned bits on the bottom of the pot. Add the cherries and onions.
Cover the pot, turn the heat to very low. You want the liquid to be at a bare simmer for a very long, very slow braise. Cook for 3-4 hours, until the meat is fork-tender, checking it occasionally to make sure you aren't cooking the liquid out. With a tagine, you'll end up with more liquid than you started with, but with other cooking vessels, it's possible you might need to add water before the cooking time is up.
For the wine reduction:
Put all ingredients into a wide, shallow pan, and heat to a simmer. Stir to dissolve the sugar and simmer on low until reduced to 1/3 the original volume, about 20 minutes. Strain out peppers, if desired. This can be served warm or at room temperature. You can cook this in a saucepan, but the high narrow sides will increase the cooking time to get the same amount of reduction.
To serve:
I served the lamb steaks over home made egg noodles that I rolled thinner and cut wider than the previous recipe. Like the photo here. Store-bought noodles would be fine. Or choose your own favorite starch.
The braising liquid (along with its cherries and onions) was served over the noodles with the lamb on top. The wine reduction was drizzled over the lamb. Extra wine reduction was passed at the table, and very simple green beans completed the plate.
This recipe was created for the Marx Foods Ridiculous Delicious Challenge, a complicated little contest with a whole lot of fun steps. I wrote about the Challenge here, and because of that post, I was chosen to compete. I received a box of 8 sample ingredients with the instruction to use two of those ingredients to create a recipe. I chose to use the Tart Dried Cherries and the Tepin Peppers for this recipe.
When public voting is open, I'll have link here. If that link is live, please go vote for me, hmmm?

Hi Donna,
YES! I'd been thiking about something like this since you started the noodle/pasta thing again. I'll be using a slightly different formula, but +/-exactly your method. So what got me back to this? It was the noodles! This thin, floppy pieces that cannot be bought - must be made - were the winner. I've got the right meat and other goods, so Sunday is a GO. Thank you.

Wow, your lamb looks delicious! Great use of those luscious cherries, too!
I could have eaten them all at the first taste very very easily!
Thanks for stopping by my blog, as well, I appreciate it!

Denise, it's interesting that you say it would be hard to make over. I'll take it as a compliment (too good to make over?) but when I was coming up with the concept, I had a lot of different, but similar ideas before I settled on this one. I was really happy with the result, but I still might try a few of the others sooner or later.
Thanks, all of you, for stopping by. It's starting to get interesting now! - March 7, 2011 at 12:19 AM
A great find. Terrific recipes. I'll use the recipe tomorrow. I have many friends who love lamb and we cook it in every way but braising.
I look forward to visiting soon again.
