Battle of Northampton site preservation for consultation
Residents in Northampton are to be consulted on the best way to preserve the site of a decisive battle in the Wars of the Roses.
The Battle of Northampton was fought in the grounds of the town's Delapre Abbey on 10 July 1460.
Yorkist Edward IV won and took the throne while the House of Lancaster led by King Henry VI collapsed.
Experts are working to uncover the site where the battle took place with a report expected by late Autumn.
Artillery was used in the battle for the first time in Britain and experts believe other discoveries are possible.
Wars of the Roses
- In 1453, King Henry VI had a mental breakdown and Richard, Duke of York, was made protector
- The king recovered in 1455, but civil war broke out between the Yorkist and Lancastrian factions. The ensuing struggle came to be known as the Wars of the Roses
- The period was seen as a time of moral, military and political turmoil in Britain
- The death of Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485 effectively ended the Wars of the Roses
Source: BBC History
A Yorkist army of about 15,000 led by the "Kingmaker" Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, and the 18-year-old Edward, then known as the Earl of March, attacked between 7,000 and 10,000 Lancastrians in a fortified camp.
Nation's historyThe area had been designated for the development of sports fields but this plan encountered opposition from businesses on the site, local residents and conservation groups.
The borough council commissioned a survey of the battlefield which is now under way.
Tim Hadland, cabinet member for regeneration, enterprise and planning, said: "The battle of Northampton was an important event that helps tell the story of our town and the history of our nation.
"We've been working with a team of experts to uncover the site where the battle took place, and we'll be asking people's opinions on what they think about preserving it for future generations.
"We'll be announcing the consultation dates shortly and anyone interested in taking part will be able to find the information on our website."
Interested campaigners, such as the Battlefields Trust and the Medieval Siege Society, are hoping evidence will emerge that can help improve their knowledge of the time.

ABSTRACT: Two experimental bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) challenge studies were undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of a single intranasal dose of a bivalent modified live vaccine containing BRSV in 3-week-old calves. In the first study, vaccine efficacy was evaluated in colostrum deprived (maternal antibody negative) calves 5, 10 and 21 days after vaccination. Nasal shedding of BRSV was significantly reduced in vaccinated calves challenged 10 or 21 days after vaccination. Virus excretion titres were also reduced in vaccinates challenged 5 days after vaccination but reduction in duration of shedding and total amount of virus shed were not statistically significant. Clinical disease after challenge in this study was mild. In the second study, vaccine efficacy was assessed in calves with maternal antibodies against BRSV by challenge 66 days post-vaccination. Vaccination significantly reduced nasal shedding after challenge and the severity of clinical disease was also reduced.The Veterinary Journal 12/2007; 174(3):627-35. · 2.17 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The efficacy of a quadrivalent vaccine against viral bovine respiratory diseases (BRD) was assessed in four experimental studies. Calves between 2 and 9 months of age were allocated to one of two treatment groups (n=9-15) and then received either the vaccine or sterile saline in two doses approximately 3 weeks apart. Three to 5 weeks after the second injection, animals were challenged experimentally with one of the viruses, bovine herpes-virus-1 (BHV-1), parainfluenza type-3 virus (PI(3)V), bovine viral-diarrhoea virus type 1 (BVDV), or bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) and were then monitored for at least 2 weeks. The administration of the vaccine was associated with enhanced antibody response to all four viruses post-challenge, with the reduction of the amount or duration (or both) of virus shedding in the BHV-1, PI(3)V, BVDV and BRSV studies and with an improvement of some clinical signs in the BHV-1 (nasal discharge, and rectal temperature) and the PI(3)V studies (abnormal respiration, and depression).The Veterinary Journal 12/2007; 174(3):616-26. · 2.17 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Several laboratory studies assessed the duration of immunity of a quadrivalent vaccine (Rispoval 4, Pfizer Animal Health) against bovine respiratory diseases (BRD) caused by bovine herpes-virus type-1 (BHV-1), parainfluenza type-3 virus (PI3V), bovine viral-diarrhoea virus type 1 (BVDV), or bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV). Calves between 7 weeks and 6 months of age were allocated to treatment and then were injected with two doses of either the vaccine or the placebo 3 weeks apart. Six to 12 months after the second injection, animals were challenged with BHV-1 (n=16), PI3V (n=31), BVDV (n=16), or BRSV (n=20) and the course of viral infection was monitored by serological, haematological (in the BVDV study only), clinical, and virological means for > or =2 weeks. Infection induced mild clinical signs of respiratory disease and elevated rectal temperature in both vaccinated and control animals and was followed by a dramatic rise in neutralising antibodies in all treatment groups. Titres reached higher levels in vaccinated calves than in control calves after challenge with BHV-1, BVDV, or BRSV. On day 3 after PI3V challenge, virus shedding was reduced from 3.64 log10TCID50 in control animals to 2.59 log10TCID50 in vaccinated animals. On days 6 and 8 after BRSV challenge, there were fewer vaccinated animals (n=2/10 and 0/10, respectively) shedding the virus than control animals (n=8/10 and 3/10, respectively). Moreover, after challenge, the mean duration of virus shedding was reduced from 3.8 days in control animals to 1 day in vaccinated animals in the BVDV study and from 3.4 days in control animals to 1.2 days in vaccinated animals in the BRSV study. The duration of immunity of >or =6 months for PI3V, BHV-1 and BVDV, and 12 months for BRSV, after vaccination with Rispoval 4, was associated mainly with enhanced post-challenge antibody response to all four viruses and reduction of the amount or duration of virus shedding or both.Preventive Veterinary Medicine 01/2005; 66(1-4):63-77. · 2.51 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objective: Aim of the present study was to demonstrate the relevance of the vaccine strain of a new BVD vaccine, PregSure® BVD, for its use in Europe. Furthermore the vaccine¿s ability to protect from pregnancy losses due to an early infection with BVDV after artificial insemination was determined. Material and methods: The immune sera used in the in-vitro cross neutralisation were collected from 20 heifers three weeks after the completion of the primary vaccination schedule with PregSure® BVD (two vaccinations given 21 days apart). The BVDV cross-neutralising activity of these postvaccinal sera was tested by virus neutralisation employing a panel of different predominantly European BVDV type I and II strains. Furthermore, two fertility studies were carried out, where heifers between 14 and 39 months of age were primovaccinated with PregSure® BVD or left untreated as control, respectively. All animals had their oestrus cycles synchronised and were artificially inseminated. Four days after the initial artificial insemination and again three days later, all animals of experimental group 1 were challenged intranasally with two heterologous noncytopathic BVDV type I strains, whereas animals from group 2 received a type I and a type II BVDV strain. Sixty-nine to 72 days after the challenge, all dams were slaughtered and their foetuses collected. Differences in pregnancy rates between the vaccinated and the control group were assessed and then analysed using Fisher¿s Exact Test. Results: Heifers vaccinated with a novel inactivated BVDV vaccine containing a cytopathic BVDV type I strain 5960, were shown to have serum neutralising antibody titres between 5.5 to 12.3 log2 against all BVDV strains tested, three weeks after the completion of their primary vaccination course. In the first fertility experiment, pregnancy rates assessed 69-72 days after a double challenge with two different BVDV type I strains were 95.5% in the vaccinated group versus only 40.9% in the control group. A level of cross-protection against a severe BVDV type II challenge was shown in the second experiment with pregnancy rates of 47.6% in the vaccinated group and only 4.4% in the control group. Conclusions and clinical relevance: The broad cross neutralising activity shown in this study demonstrates the relevance of the vaccine strain 5960 for use in Europe. Furthermore as shown with significantly improved pregnancy in the two fertility experiments, PregSure® BVD vaccinated heifers are protected against fertility losses caused by acute BVDV infections.Tierarztliche Praxis Ausgabe Grosstiere Nutztiere.

Article: Studies of the field efficacy and safety of a single-dose Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae vaccine for pigs.
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The field efficacy and safety of a single-dose Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae vaccine were evaluated in three-to five-week-old pigs. Two field efficacy studies were conducted, one in England with 673 pigs, and one in Germany with 719 pigs. The pigs were injected intramuscularly with either the vaccine or saline (control) at a ratio of 2:1 and reared under commercial conditions to slaughter weight. The efficacy of the vaccine was evaluated by comparing the lung lesions associated with infection with M. hyopneumoniae in the control and vaccinated animals postmortem. In both countries the vaccinated pigs had a significantly lower percentage of lung lesion scores, in England 5.7 v 10.2 per cent (P = 0.0022) and in Germany 3.9 v 7.7 per cent (P = 0.0056). In Germany the average daily weight gain (ADG) of the vaccinated pigs was significantly higher (639 g v 616 g) (P = 0.0205). In both countries and in both the treated and control animals there was a significant negative correlation between the ADG and the lung lesion score (P = 0.0001). Two safety trials were conducted, one in England and one in Germany, each with 75 pigs, and in each case 50 pigs were given the maximum batch release antigen titre of the vaccine and 25 were given saline. The safety of the vaccine was evaluated by observation for local and systemic reactions and any increases in rectal temperature. No abnormal reactions were observed in the vaccinated pigs and there was no significant difference between the mean peak rectal temperatures of the vaccinated and control pigs in either trial.The Veterinary record 12/2002; 151(18):535-8. · 1.63 Impact Factor - Cattle practice: The Journal of the British Cattle Veterinary Association 174 (2005) 13.

Biography - Margaret Hamburg, M.D. , U.S. FDA Commissioner
Margaret A. Hamburg, M.D., was confirmed on May 18, 2009 by a unanimous Senate voice vote to become the 21st Food and Drug Commissioner. The second woman to be nominated for that demanding position, Dr. Hamburg is exceptionally qualified for her new job by her training and experience as a medical doctor, scientist and public health executive.
Dr. Hamburg graduated from Harvard Medical School, and completed her residency in internal medicine at what is now New York Presbyterian Hospital-Weill Cornell Medical Center, one of the top-ten hospitals in the nation. She conducted research on neuroscience at Rockefeller University in New York, studied neuropharmacology at the National Institute of Mental Health on the NIH campus in Bethesda, and later focused on AIDS research as Assistant Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
In 1990, Dr. Hamburg joined the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene as Deputy Health Commissioner, and within a year was promoted to Commissioner, a position she held until 1997. During her tenure she was widely praised for her initiatives, decisive leadership, and significant public health measures she carried out despite severe budget constraints and while holding academic positions at Columbia University School of Public Health and Cornell University Medical College.
Dr. Hamburg's accomplishments as New York's top public health official included improved services for women and children, a needle-exchange programs to reduce the spread of HIV, and the initiation the first public health bio-terrorism defense program in the nation. Her most celebrated achievement, however, was curbing the spread of tuberculosis. In the 1990s, TB resurged as a major public health threat, largely because many patients did not complete the full course of the treatment and the disease became resistant to standard drugs. Dr. Hamburg confronted the problem by sending health care workers to patients' homes and taking other steps to make sure they completed the drug regimen. Thanks to this program, in a 5 year span, the TB rate in New York City fell by 46% overall, and 86% for the most drug-resistant strains. Dr. Hamburg's innovative approach has become a model for health departments world-wide.
In 1994, Dr. Hamburg was elected to the membership in the Institute of Medicine, one of the youngest persons to be so honored. Three years later, at the request of President Clinton, she accepted the position of Assistant Secretary for Policy and Evaluation in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
In 2001, Dr. Hamburg became Vice President for Biological Programs at the Nuclear Threat Initiative, a foundation dedicated to reducing the threat to public safety from nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. In that position, she has advocated broad reforms in public health infrastructure and policy, from local health departments to the national agency, in order to meet the dangers of modern bioterrorism as well as the threats of naturally occurring infectious diseases such as pandemic flu. Since 2005, Dr. Hamburg has served as the Initiative's Senior Scientist. President Barack Obama nominated her for the FDA Commissioner on March 25, 2009.
Upon Dr. Hamburg's confirmation by the U.S. Senate, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has praised her as "an inspiring public health leader with broad experience in infectious disease, bioterrorism, and health policy", and added that "Personally, I have been impressed by the calm and confidence Dr. Hamburg has shown in the face of a wide variety of challenges."

Pizza Oven by Pizzeria Pronto
Albondigas, Spanish for meatballs, star in the traditional broth-based Mexican Sopa de Albondigas. Our version uses turkey rather than beef or pork for the meatballs, and we've pumped up the volume of fresh vegetables in the mix.
Make Ahead Tip: Prepare through Step 2. Cover and refrigerate the soup and meatballs separately for up to 1 day. To serve, reheat soup in a Dutch oven and proceed with Step 3.
- 1 pound 93%-lean ground turkey
- 1 cup fresh whole-wheat breadcrumbs (see tip)
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin, divided
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano, divided
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 large white onion, diced
- 2 carrots, peeled and diced
- 3 poblano peppers, diced (see tip)
- 3 plum tomatoes, diced
- 6 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup instant brown rice or 1/2 cup cooked brown rice
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 jalapeno, minced
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
- Tip: To make fresh breadcrumbs, trim crusts from firm sandwich bread. Tear bread into pieces and process in a food processor until coarse crumbs form. One slice of bread makes about 1/3 cup crumbs.
- Poblano peppers can be fiery or relatively mild; there's no way to tell until you taste them. Find them at most large supermarkets. Or substitute 2 green bell peppers plus one minced jalapeno pepper (or more to taste).
Line a large baking sheet with wax paper. Place the turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin, 1 1/2 teaspoons oregano, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Mix gently until combined. Shape the mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls and transfer to the baking sheet. (You should have about 20 meatballs). Place in the refrigerator and chill for at least 20 minutes or until ready to use.
Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion and carrots and cook, stirring often, until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Add the peppers, tomatoes, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the broth, increase heat to high and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Carefully submerge the meatballs in the simmering liquid; return to a simmer and cook for 8 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice. Garnish with jalapeno and cilantro.

The World Benefits is Hosting a DC Workshop!
Written by Jason Fitzgerald
CarbonFree® Partner The World Benefits offers customized socially responsible benefits packages for employers. On October 29th, they're hosting a Corporate Social Responsibility workshop at Agraria Restaurant on the Georgetown Waterfront (3000 K Street NW, Washington, DC). The program will discuss the HR manager's role in implementing CSR efforts like environmental sustainability, community engagement, and employee wellness. They are also applying for strategic management credits with HRCI for part of the program. At only $35 (with a locally sourced, organic lunch!), this workshop is a fantastic value for any HR or CSR professional.
The World Benefits is offsetting this event, in addition to their corporate footprint, through Carbonfund.org. I actually attended a similar workshop several months ago in the same location. It was very engaging and had interaction work sessions with other attendees. With multiple speakers who I found incredibly insightful, oftentimes hilarious, and serious about making positive change, I left the workshop motivated to help Carbonfund.org.
We have implemented a change in Carbonfund.org's daily work-life that was inspired by The World Benefits workshop. We now have a Lunch Club of individuals who cook one day of the week for the rest of the group. We all eat together, share amazing food, and only have to worry about lunch one day per week! It's a tiny slice of employee engagement that we can thank The World Benefits for inspiring.
If you want to stay ahead of the environmental curve, improve employee retention and morale, and benefit the world, email Jenny Harding at
to sign up, or register on their website www.theworldbenefits.com.

Survey Finds Majority of Americans Want Strong Action on Global Warming
Written by Ivan Chan
A survey by a research and survey firm The Mellman Group finds that a large proportion of Americans, 71%, want the country to reduce carbon emissions; moreover, the survey finds that 58% of Americans favor not just action, but strong action.
Demand for action crosses party lines. 68% of independents and 54% of Republicans want action on global warming, as do 86% of Democrats. Majorities in each region of the country seek action: 76% in the Northeast, 69% in the South, 69% in the Midwest, and 74% in the West.
The survey also found that 70% of Americans find global warming to be a serious economic and national security threat to the U.S., particularly with regard to droughts and rising sea levels and their impact on developing countries. Read more about the survey results here.
The American Kneeboarding National Championships has gone CarbonFree® for the second year in a row. In addition, they have taken our motto – Reduce What you Can, Offset What You Can't to heart. They've located all event activities within a half mile of each other to reduce travel and have strived to keep non-renewable resources out of the championships altogether.
Next time you decide to go water skiing – follow the American Kneeboarding Association's lead and offset your trip.

BOOK REVIEW: What's The Worst That Could Happen? By Greg Craven
Written by Eric Carlson
A lot of people are extremely passionate about fighting climate change, reducing CO2 emissions and staving off a global catastrophe. And by "a lot", I mean, well, maybe 10-20%. The fact is most people, on any issue, are rather agnostic, have a tacit support for something but certainly are not in the trenches fighting on a day-to-day basis. An overwhelming majority of people want health care reform, millions of people are against it, and yet it is big news when a hundred "passionate" people show up to a town hall meeting of a member of Congress.
Enter Greg Craven and his book, What's The Worst That Could Happen? A Rationale Response To The Climate Change Debate. Greg is a high school science teacher in Oregon who became an Internet sensation last year with a series of videos trying to engage the 60-80% of people in the middle on climate change. His videos have been viewed over 7 million times and his book is as entertaining.
Greg does not talk much about climate science. Instead, he looks at the issue of should we do something or should we not from the perspective of risk assessment. Which is worse, taking action to stop climate change and later learning it was not happening, or not taking action and learning (too late) that it was?
But the book is about much more than Pascal's Wager. Greg uses the same ultra analytical approach to helping us decide which information in our information-laden world we should value more. Should we trust a pundit over a scientist, a scientific organization over a think tank, a government over a lobbying group? Where should each stand on our information value spectrum.
What's The Worst That Could Happen? is a surprisingly fresh, interesting, quick and entertaining read. Whether you've been in the trenches for a decade on the issue or are one of the 60-80% in the middle, Craven's perspective and process are unassailably logical. He is the perfect antidote to any climate skeptic.
Craven is passionate about being, well, dispassionate. He asks a thousand questions (Note: I have known Greg for twenty years and the book is as Greg is) of the reader without overwhelming the senses. He is serious and yet unbelievably self-deprecating. The book's faux sticky notes on the pages of facts, humor and examples add to his unique style. Greg makes climate change, and the question of whether we should act on it, understandable to the average person much as Al Gore did a few years ago.
What's The Worst That Could Happen? is a great read. It will energize you to take action, the last pillar of the book. The climate change movement needed this book and Greg's approach to problem-solving. At Carbonfund.org, we feel any work that helps explain the issue and urgency of climate change is critical and Greg has done just that.

Here at Carbonfund.org we like to hear what our donors have to say. It helps us in the office keep perspective on why we're doing what we're doing. And our donors come from a broad range of perspectives. Some were concerned about climate change's negative impacts and wanted to do the right thing. Others felt guilty about their pollution and chose to support our high quality projects as a way to offset their activities. Still others were spurred by our partners' actions, donating after seeing Amtrak, Dell, or JetBlue's actions to fight climate change. Take a look at a selection of comments we received this week. Maybe next week, we'll highlight your comment!
"Admittedly, I'm being selfish to fly around as much as I do. Your group gives me a means to balance my negative actions with positive actions."
"I feel very strongly that we as individuals should try and offset our carbon footprint. I work for an environmental consulting company and take pride in what I can do to help our environment."
"I was given the option when buying my Amtrak ticket. I'd like life on earth to continue longer."
"I work for the American Geophysical Union (www.agu.org) which publishes much of the climate change research. I think it's important that we walk the talk."
"My brother wanted carbon offsets for his birthday present."
"Polar Bears etc."
"The wedding offset is a great idea!"
"We at NMD, Inc feel it is very important to leave a legacy for future generations."
"We've reduced our footprint significantly with public transit, but long distance travel is still an energy drain. Glad to know we have the option of "off-setting" where we are unable to eliminate our carbon footprint."

Mountain Storm, West Virginia – a tale of two energies
Written by Paul Burman
Over Labor Day weekend I, like many, decided to flee the city to enjoy my peace in the woods. A short drive from Washington, DC to Mountain Storm, West Virginia, I found a cabin at a lovely little campsite at Abram's Creek (the site is personally recommended: sustainable, eco-friendly and amazing staff). I went hiking, built fires, whittled sticks, went swimming, enjoyed the sounds of nature, watched the night sky and generally speaking charged my battery with the beauty and bounty of nature.
But the story that I bring home with me has to do with power – renewable vs. conventional and old vs. new. Mountain Storm, West Virginia is home to Dominion Power's largest coal fired power plant. The first units of this 1,600 megawatt power plant were built in 1965 and are currently responsible for about 12.5 million tons of CO2; 3,139 tons of smog forming sulfur dioxides; 22,464 tons of nitrous oxides; and over 340 lbs of mercury every year. This power plant is a behemoth both in size and in emissions that looms large over this area of West Virginia. The dual billowing smokestacks of the plant represent a few jobs for local workers, but is a living sign of environmental destruction as well.
Directly adjacent to the coal fired power plant is a sight to behold for clean energy advocates such as myself – wind turbines as far as the eye can see. The NedPower Mountain Storm wind energy project has erected 132 two megawatt wind turbines that generate 264 megawatts of clean energy. I have never seen this many turbines before in my life, and watching them spin and breathe new life into our energy grid gave me so much hope for a clean energy future.
These turbines make sense in a place like Mountain Storm. There is land available on the cheap (sometimes 'reclaimed land' which has been used for surface, or mountain top removal mining), workers that are experienced in industrial construction, ideal conditions for generating wind power, and existing transmissions lines from the coal power plant to get the energy to the power hungry cities of the east coast.
Located at the nexus of where the coal plant and the turbines meet is the Mountain Storm Lake – a dammed river that Dominion Power uses to cool the coal generators. This Lake is a center for recreation and is constantly at bath temperature due to the coal plant.
Sitting by this unnaturally warm Lake (which is apparently fine to swim in - I wonder about regular exposure to things like mercury that may be falling from the smoke stacks or leeching from the GIANT piles of coal that were less than 1,000 feet away) one cannot help but think of the past and the future. Coal and renewable energy. Poverty and jobs. Destruction and health. What relics of our past do we want to embrace and which ones do we want to see slowly fade away?
The balance exists now, and places like Mountain Storm are living examples of how one location can embody nearly every facet of energy debates that are being had in Washington now. Personally, I want to see more turbines, and less coal. There are more jobs to be had in wind these days than in coal, and that is news that I think we can all embrace.

A vivid snapshot of my mother, Audrey BALL, when she was about 4 years old: her mother, my grandmother (Minda Mary Edgcombe BALL) saw my mother race past the window and immediately thought "what has she been up to?" She soon found out. A few days earlier, my mother had been given a very special 'party frock'. Add to this the 1930s way of ironing clothes: sat on a rail on the range were several flatirons, which only got hot from the oven, no electric irons then (certainly not in their house!). I think you can see where this is going.
My mother decided she would be grownup and help by ironing her new party dress. But the flatiron she took burned a hole in the new special dress. Horrified, the four-year-old did what she was best at - she ran!
And there was I thinking my mother was born knowing how to do things like iron clothes. Nice (in a way) to know that when she was a child she made mistakes too.

El Camino Dash swap
I was thinking of putting a different dash in my el camino, and i have one out of a 1980 camaro that is in better shape than my el camino dash and was wondering if anyone knew how hard it would be (i already know i would have to make a panel to go from the windshield to the camaro dash to fit it in the el camino) but what problems might i run into other than locations of wiring and switches? physically they are the same width across
Sponsored Links | |||

also, i do not plan to install air conditioning back into this car. but both dashboard accommodate air conditioning
What year El Camino?
__________________________________ No one lives forever, the trick is creating something that will. __________________________________ |
sorry, i guess i forgot to mention that, it's a 1980 el camino
I have it figured out now. The Camaro dashboard pad fit in front of the el camino dash with all of the gauges removed. When we lined up the base of the dash with the radio/ac control housing on the el camino dash the gauges were about perpendicular with the ground. we braced the two dashboards together and now we're going to mold around the whole thing in fiberglass and paint it black.
it leaves the larger glove box of the el camino and eliminates 2 a/c vents but brings the gauges out closer to the steering wheel more like a firebird or camaro and makes the interior of the car feel smaller and sportier. I will post pictures when i'm done. |

For the Left to defer a decision on participation in a government until after the electoral outcome would not help the prospects of the third alternative that they support
Drawing upon a cricket metaphor, Sitaram Yechury, member of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) politburo described the October 2013 anti-communalism convention organised by the Left parties as a "doosra" that would send the country's communal forces packing to the pavilion. The determination in the comrade's observation in Kolkata was in sync with the mood at the October 30 convention, which took place barely months after the tragic communal riots in Muzaffarnagar. An inkling about a third front in the making might have been apparent on that autumn afternoon only to those observers who are generally more disposed to taking numbers at face value. There was of course an impressive line-up of fourteen parties on the podium. But striking was a strong sense of common purpose in the substantive message delivered by speaker after speaker.
Prominent among them were CPI(M) general secretary Prakash Karat, Communist Party of India leader A.B. Bardhan, Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, his party Janata Dal(United) chief Sharad Yadav, Biju Janata Dal member of the Lok Sabha Baijayant 'Jay' Panda and others. A collective resolve to isolate communally divisive forces and bring together secular and democratic parties under a common platform replaced more familiar diatribes against the ruling dispensation, or digressions into the virtues of federalism, or for that matter the assertion of identity politics.
Characteristic was also the absence of any talk of a third front or any other combination. Thus, anybody who might have imagined that a single secular front was on the horizon to take on the Bharatiya Janata Party in the 2014 general election could not be completely faulted.
But barely four months since, and just a few weeks before the general election, India's mainstream communist parties were again busy in a bid to recreate the momentum towards a third alternative, attacking both the Congress and the BJP in the same breath. They were, quite evidently, back on more familiar terrain on this occasion. As on previous pre-poll conclaves, the leaders of the eleven parties who met in Delhi on February 25 made it plain that the sole objective of this political formation was to vote out the Congress and defeat the BJP.
The joint declaration issued thereafter was categorical that there was nothing to choose between these two parties in terms of economic policies or on the question of graft in public life. However, the declaration was emphatic that the BJP's communal, divisive and anti-secular ideology had to be defeated in the coming elections.
A silver line
The distinction the declaration drew between the Congress and the BJP, many would argue, is probably more noteworthy than the supposed commonality between the two parties that it sought to underline. This is because the common ground that obtains on economic policies between the Congress and the BJP extends, more or less, to most other political parties in the country. The clearest evidence of this claim is provided by the policies of none other than the United Front government of 1996-1998, many constituents of which were part of this initiative too.
But the accent in the declaration last month to single out the BJP for its communal ideology implies that there has been a welcome move away by the communist parties of maintaining equidistance from the Congress and the BJP. To be fair, there has been growing recognition both within the CPI and the CPI(M) of this fundamental distinction between the BJP and the Congress ever since the communal polarisation of the polity and society in the 1990s.
In fact, the CPI(M) exercised a deliberate choice to exert its influence on the 1996-1998 United Front governments under the premiership of H.D. Deve Gowda and I.K. Gujral from the outside. The CPI, on the other hand, was a key constituent of that coalition in which Indrajit Gupta and Chaturanan Misra served with distinction in their respective home and agriculture portfolios.
A clear-sighted and nuanced reading of the positions of various political parties would be crucial for any endeavour by the Left parties to forge a common progressive and democratic coalition in the country. This would be imperative considering that many regional parties have cohabited with the BJP at one time or the other, even if they did not share any real ideological affinity with that party. The possibility of their return to the political outfit of the Sangh Parivar could not be foreclosed in view of the current-day compulsions of coalition politics.
That leaves out the communists and the Congress, besides notable exceptions such as the Samajwadi Party and the Rashtriya Janata Dal on the single issue of combating communalism. It may seem premature to suggest that these parties, including the Congress, arrive at a pre-electoral understanding on this common objective. But it does not seem unreasonable to expect the parties of the Left to make a clear commitment to the voters on their total participation in a government of the formation that they support. Such an assurance would enhance the credibility of the 11-party combine ahead of the upcoming elections. To defer a decision on participation in a government until after the electoral outcome would not (to put it mildly) help the prospects of the third alternative. The contribution of the Left parties in the enactment of pro-people legislation under UPA-1 was considerable. Equally telling was the impact on the outgoing dispensation from the decision of the Left not to extend support over the past five years. This chapter in history ought not to be repeated.

So my room mate and is a big red ale fan, as for me i think they are just ok, so we brewed up a Irish red ale tryed it yesterday after 2 weeks in the bottles and its just ok but i think i have come up with a way to make it better. The issue to us is 1) to hoppy 2) needs to be smoother 3) thicker so my thought was to make a red ale simular to a guinness. Here is the recipe i came up with. Any thoughts or help would be great. Thanks 6lb. Light Malt Extract 1lb. Crushed 60l Carmel Malt 3lbs. Light DME (to up the gravity) 1lb. Flaked Barley 1lb. Oatmeal 4oz. Lactose 2oz. Cascade Hops Wyeast Irish Stout
my guess is that you are using the lactose for body and head retention. I would suggest carafoam I would also use roasted barley maybe 4 oz because of the roasted notes and red color it will bring to the beer maybe carmel 20 not 60 to keep it from being to dark and maybe fuggles not cascades to cut the hopy bitterness just a thought.

Manufacturers everywhere struggle to effectively manage engineering data. It seems easy at first to keep track of concept designs, engineering models, technical drawings, and assemblies. But with time, homegrown filing systems become a headache for product developers who need to find, re-use, and share data. Often, developers simply recreate what they need rather than try to locate an existing model.
Too bad, because Product Data Management (PDM) systems traditionally solve this problem — for large companies. And the smaller manufacturers? Well, until recently, many muddled through with saved files on their desktops and shared folders. That's because, despite the smaller company's needs, professional systems required more time and investment to reflect more complex processes.
Now, PTC solutions are changing the PDM landscape for these small and medium-sized companies. Here's how:
There are countless reasons why manufacturers need to better organize data, no matter the size of team. Read what experts say about managing data in smaller design teams as well as the impact it can have on medium-sized manufacturers. Read More

This is the most magnificent television series out there today. The cast of stars is brilliant. Highclere castle in Yorkshire Country England is breathtaking!! the plots are just riveting. This post Edwardian era period drama set in the roaring 20's does not disappoint. The series, set in the fictional Yorkshire country estate of Downton Abbey, depicts the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family and their servants. It is so good that the end of the season leaves you with great anticipation, for the next new season to arrive as soon as possible. Highly recommend this exquisite drama.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The dybbuk box, or dibbuk box (Hebrew: קופסאת דיבוק, Kufsat Dibbuk), is a wine cabinet which is said to be haunted by a dybbuk. A dybbuk is a restless, usually malicious, spirit believed to be able to haunt and even possess the living. The box achieved recognition when it was auctioned on eBay with an accompanying horror story written by Kevin Mannis, and is the original inspiration for the 2012 film The Possession.
The term "Dibbuk Box" was first created and used by Kevin Mannis to describe a wine cabinet in the item information for an eBay auction and as the subject of his original story describing paranormal events which he related to the box. Mannis, a writer and creative professional by trade, owned a small antiques and furniture refinishing business in Portland, Oregon at the time.[1][2] According to Mannis' story, he bought the box at an estate sale in 2003. It had belonged to a Polish Holocaust survivor named Havela, who had escaped to Spain and purchased it there before her immigration to the United States.[3] Havela's granddaughter told Mannis that the box had been bought in Spain after the Holocaust. Upon hearing that the box was a family heirloom, Mannis offered to give the box back to the family but the granddaughter insisted that he take it. "We don't want it." She said. She told him the box had been kept in her grandmother's sewing room and was never opened because a dybbuk was said to live inside it.[3]
Upon opening the box, Mannis wrote that he found that it contained two 1920s pennies, a lock of blonde hair bound with cord, a lock of black/brown hair bound with cord, a small statue engraved with the Hebrew word "Shalom", a small, golden wine goblet, one dried rose bud, and a single candle holder with four octopus-shaped legs.
Numerous owners of the box have reported that strange phenomena accompany it. In his story, Mannis wrote that he experienced a series of horrific nightmares shared with other people while they were in possession of the box or when they stayed at his home while he had it. His mother suffered a stroke on the same day he gave her the box as a birthday present — October 28. Every owner of the box has reported that smells of cat urine or jasmine flowers[4][5] and nightmares involving an old hag accompany the box.[3] Iosif Neitzke, a Missouri student at Truman State University in Kirksville, Missouri and the last person to auction the box on eBay, claimed that the box caused lights to burn out in his house and his hair to fall out.[3] Jason Haxton, Director of the Museum of Osteopathic Medicine in Kirksville, Missouri, had been following Neitzke's blogs regarding the box and when he was ready to be rid of the box Neitzke sold it to Haxton. Haxton wrote The Dibbuk Box, and claimed that he subsequently developed strange health problems, including hives, coughing up blood, and "head-to-toe welts".[5] Haxton consulted with Rabbis (Jewish religious leaders) to try to figure out a way to seal the dybbuk in the box again. Apparently successful, he took the freshly resealed box and hid it at a secret location, which he will not reveal.[6]
Skeptic Chris French, head of the Anomalistic Psychology Research Unit at Goldsmiths' College, told an interviewer he believed that the box's owners were "already primed to be looking out for bad stuff. If you believe you have been cursed, then inevitably you explain the bad stuff that happens in terms of what you perceive to be the cause. Put it like this: I would be happy to own this object."[5]
The cabinet has the Shema carved into the back of it.[3] Its dimensions are 12.5" × 7.5" × 16.25".[3]

Phoenix Suns
Forbes: Phoenix Suns are NBA's 13th-most valuable team
As far as NBA teams go, the Phoenix Suns are about middle of the pack when it comes to franchise value.
According to Forbes, the Suns are the 13th-most valuable franchise in the league. The New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls make up the top three, while the Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Bobcats and Milwaukee Bucks are at the bottom.
The Suns are valued at $474 million, and the rest of the organization's breakdown is below.
Owner: Robert Sarver
Championships: 0
Price Paid: $404 M
Year Purchased: 2004
Revenue: $121 M
Operating Income: $13.0 M
Debt/Value: 39%
Player Expenses: $60 M
Gate Receipts: $28 M
Wins-to-player cost ratio: 86
Revenue per Fan: $18
Metro Area Population: 4.4 M
Forbes notes how the Suns have cut ticket prices in recent years, but that it really has not helped at the box office. Attendance at US Airways Center has dropped in each of the last three seasons.
Fans are tuning out at home as well with local TV ratings off a league-worst 37% on FS Arizona.
This season the Suns are 25th in the NBA in attendance, averaging 14,769 fans in 21 home games. With a 13-28 record and a season seemingly spinning out of control, it's worth wondering if things are about to get worse for the Valley's original professional sports team.

Pats release Chad Brown
Posted on December 27, 2007
Filed Under Uncategorized
The Patriots have just announced they have released veteran linebacker Chad Brown. Here's the statement regarding the transaction, just issued by the team:
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Patriots released veteran linebacker Chad Brown today.
Brown, 36, is in his 15th NFL season and played in two games for New England in 2007, appearing as a reserve against San Diego on Sept. 16 and against the New York Jets on Dec. 16. He recorded two special teams tackles for the Patriots this season. Brown was a member of the team during 2007 training camp and was released on Sept. 1, 2007 and re-signed on Sept. 12 before being released again on Oct. 10 and re-signed again on Nov. 27. He has been a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers (1993-96, 2006), Seattle Seahawks (1997-2004) and New England Patriots (2005, 2007). In 2006, he appeared in eight games for the Pittsburgh Steelers and totaled seven tackles, including a sack. The 6-foot-2-inch, 245-pound linebacker first signed with the Patriots as a free agent on May 10, 2005. He was credited with 54 defensive tackles and three special teams stops in 15 games with the Patriots in 2005. Brown was originally selected by the Steelers in the second round of the 1993 NFL Draft (44th overall). The Colorado product was a starter for all four of his seasons with the Steelers and earned his first of three trips to the Pro Bowl in 1996 after finishing fourth in the NFL with a career-high 13 sacks. He signed with Seattle as a free agent the following year and spent the next eight seasons starting for the Seahawks. During his stint with Seattle, Brown averaged 93 tackles per season and had more tackles (744) than any other Seattle player over that span. In 15 NFL seasons, Brown has started 161 of 188 games played and has recorded 1,075 total tackles, including 79 career sacks. His career sack total ranks second among all active NFL linebackers. He also has notched 41 career passes defensed, including six interceptions. He has forced 19 career fumbles and recovered 13, returning three of those for touchdowns.

I was looking around some local pawn shops for some vintage ammo and fishing reels, when a $200 revolver caught my eye. Its a Charter Arms Bulldog in 44 Special, and it looks used (which I like, I like the look of worn guns). I want to get a new hunting sidearm, because my only handgun right now is a crappy .22 that jams almost every shot and I hunt in hog country. I know .44 special is expensive, and probably recoils quite a bit, but is $200 for this baby a good deal?

Charter Arms changed hands a long while back. The current owner is pretty decent and backs his guns. If it functions OK it would be a buy. 44 special is similar to 45 ACP in recoil.
Patron Member NRA "I would not be an old man if I had not been an armed young man." JTJ I was taught to respect my elders but they are getting harder to find.
From my experience with Charter, it would not be a good buy for 1/10 as much. I wouldn't have it as a gift. Just MNSHO!
I think I'll pass on it. The same shop had a Llama 1911 that I looked at for $350. I'd rather have the Bulldog than that 1911. I'll try to save for a Glock 22 they had for $379.

From the Publisher
"This book provides an extremely valuable introduction to 'the art of pricing'. The strength of the book lies in its judicious choice of the topics to be covered and accessibility to a wide range of audiences from advanced undergraduates to practitioners who may have limited technical knowledge. In particular, the coverage of the book on 'yield management' truly stands out, where Oz Shy offers a very elegant, intuitive, and simple presentation of dynamic pricing techniques with capacity constraints that have been widely used in the airline and hotel industries. In summary, the book is bound to be the best single source for anyone interested in this broad topic of practical importance." - Jay Pil Choi, Michigan State University"Oz Shy has yet again succeeded in providing an innovative and lucid exposition of a longstanding issue: how to price. The outcome is a cleverly presented toolkit for understanding yield management and pricing strategies. The comprehensible yet rigorous style, its original focus and varying levels of mathematical formalization, as well as the novel use of computer algorithms make this book an exceptionally useful instrument not only for teachers and students in economics, management, and marketing, but also for practitioners and business people." - Tomaso Duso, Social Science Research Center Berlin
"A valuable book for both students and practitioners — it will be a key reference for anyone working in the field. The author is an expert who himself has made important contributions to industrial organization." - Paul Klemperer, Oxford University
"How to Price is a coherent and straight to the point introduction to the state of the art of strategic pricing. This book is especially suitable for master's level students in economics as well as managers responsible for pricing decisions. At the targeted level the book is the first in its kind." - Staffan Ringbom, Swedish School of Economics and Business Administration, Helsinki, and HECER
"Oz Shy's book offers an up-to-date, economically sophisticated, and highly practical guide to pricing. Better pricing leads to better profits." - Hal Varian, University of California, Berkeley
"This is a must-read for all economists interested in pricing of services. It provides a wealth of exciting pricing issues and their solutions. It is accessible for undergraduates, yet exceedingly valuable to graduate economists, MBA students, practitioners and researchers. It is both a textbook and a reference for the various types of pricing. At the same time, it provides algorithms for those trying to apply the concepts in practice. Oz Shy has shown us the usefulness of applying economic concepts to pricing and provides us with fun in doing so." - Ingo Vogelsang, Boston University

U.S. nuclear-power industry officials have long regarded Gregory Jaczko as an adversary, but following the earthquake and nuclear crisis in Japan they need him as an ally.
Mr. Jaczko, chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and his colleagues on the panel must communicate clearly to "provide confidence to the public and policy makers" about the safety of U.S. nuclear power, said Marvin Fertel, president of the Nuclear Energy Institute, the industry's main trade group.
Other industry officials are also quietly expressing hopes that the man they once publicly criticized will now defend the industry's reputation for safety.
Mr. Jaczko will oversee an NRC review of safety at the 104 U.S. nuclear reactors that will influence how much utilities spend on new measures to reassure the public following the March 11 earthquake in Japan that damaged the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex. The review will also affect efforts to revive the U.S. nuclear industry after decades of stagnation.
Mr. Jaczko, who spent much of his professional career in Washington working for opponents of the industry, expresses confidence that U.S. nuclear plants operate safely. But he avoids taking sides in public debates about the future of U.S. nuclear power following the Japanese disaster.
Appearing before a Senate panel Wednesday, he declined to answer when Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.), an industry ally, asked whether nuclear power qualifies as a "clean" energy source.
"I tend to not like to get into discussions about those kinds of things," Mr. Jaczko answered.
Mr. Jaczko notes that his agency doesn't make energy policy, it regulates nuclear safety. "I can't say I have views on nuclear power or the nuclear industry. I have views on nuclear safety," he said in an interview. "Nuclear safety is an issue that most people agree on."
Mr. Jaczko has issued blunt warnings about the severity of the Japanese accident, starting with a declaration on March 16 that American citizens living within 50 miles of the plant should evacuate. His statement contradicted Japanese authorities' recommendation at the time that only people living within 12 miles of the plant needed to leave.
In response to questions about how the NRC came to such a different assessment, the agency later said the data underlying Mr. Jaczko's directive were "inconclusive." The agency has stood by the recommendation, however, calling it "prudent."
Earlier this week, Mr. Jaczko traveled to Japan to reinforce U.S. offers of assistance, his spokesman said.
Mr. Jaczko's main challenge prior to the earthquake was fending off industry and congressional critics who suspected he wanted to kill a proposed long-term nuclear-waste facility below Nevada's Yucca Mountain. The site is backed by the industry but opposed by Senate Majority Leader Sen. Harry Reid (D., Nev.), Mr. Jaczko's onetime boss.
Mr. Jaczko holds a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and worked as an aide to Massachusetts Democratic Rep. Edward J. Markey, an outspoken critic of the nuclear industry, before signing on as appropriations director and science policy adviser for Mr. Reid.
President George W. Bush appointed Mr. Jaczko to a seat on the NRC in 2005 amid criticism from industry officials who questioned whether he could be impartial about nuclear issues, particularly Yucca Mountain. The Bush White House initially resisted appointing him but relented after Mr. Reid blocked Bush nominees for dozens of senior positions across the executive branch. President Barack Obama elevated Mr. Jaczko to the chairman's job shortly after taking office.
Mr. Jaczko has declined to say publicly how the NRC will rule on an Obama administration proposal to pull the plug on the Yucca site. But last fall he issued a directive to NRC staff to wind down work on the project.
As industry officials nurse hopes that Mr. Jaczko will defend their safety record, the NRC faces pressure from anti-nuclear groups and elected officials questioning whether the agency is rigorously evaluating the safety of aging reactors with large amounts of spent fuel stored on site.
"We need to rethink how we manage spent fuel," Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.) told Mr. Jaczko Wednesday, noting that fuel removed from California reactors in 1984 was still cooling in pools of water at the plants. Mr. Jaczko said his agency would re-examine the issue in light of the Japanese accident, but that he remained confident such waste could be stored safely at plants for decades.
The NRC has also shown no sign it will call a halt to the nuclear industry's efforts to revive construction of new facilities. The agency last week cleared away a key obstacle for two proposed nuclear reactors, which would be the first licensed and built in the U.S. since the partial meltdown at Pennsylvania's Three Mile Island nuclear facility in 1979.

I was reminded that I haven't updated my friends here on my situation in a while. The good news is that I was finally approved for Social Security Disability. That is good news, but I have run out of savings and had to borrow money to pay the bills for this month. I'm pinching pennies until they scream! LOL I'm supposed to get my first Social Security Disability check later in the month, and it will cover January expenses, but they are withholding the 40 months of back payment pending a review to see if there is any supplemental benefits or anything that they can deduct from it. There isn't any, but I've been told that it may be 60-90 days before they actually process the check. I'll be lucky if I get to keep 1-2 months worth of it though. Most of it goes to pay back the long term disability that I received for 29 months and to the IRS.
My biggest problem right now is in trying to get my Long Term Disability reinstated. It has been canceled for four months now. Without it, my family (including my daughter with spina bifida) has no health insurance. AT&T was going to look into the situation. It took four months to get a response from them that my only recourse was to appeal to the same folks that denied it to begin with...and BTW you've used up four of your six months in order to do that. Some day, either here or in eternity, people are going to pay for that.
The claims administrator flagrantly violated the rules of the disability plan in canceling my coverage. In determining if I could work, the plan states that my "functional capacities" have to be taken into account. She ignored statements from multiple doctors that say that I can't sit, stand, walk, climb, lift, drive, concentrate, and so forth (some not at all, some for only an hour or two at the most) and got a job survey done for office clerk jobs that are a three-hour round trip drive from my home by only listing three or four of my documented physical limitations and none of my mental ones. Totally bogus.
To top it off, the denial of my claim was based on an anonymous fax that was allegedly received from "my doctor" even though the claims administrator and her supervisor were told that my doctor never got a request for information from them and never responded to it. From everything I can tell, the insurance claims manager made it up....and this would not be the first time they have been documented fabricating things. And even after being told that I had a doctor's appointment in a week to document my limitations with a cardiologist (see this journal for the details), they would not wait a week for the report and canceled my benefits because of this "new information" that they got in the fax. Even if the fax were ligit though and identified the person that sent it, the fax says two words..."no revision". That's it. No signature. No date. No ID as to who sent it. Nothing. And it wasn't "new". It was an alleged followup on a medical report from 2005. An alleged faxed request to my Kaiser doctor that sees me for everything BUT my disability asking if there was any update on a list of three or four listed limitations was allegedly faxed back to them with "no revisions" written across it. Yet they used an alleged "update" that says "no revision" *AS* a revision of my medical records and took it to mean that the *only* limitations that I had were the couple that they allegedly specifically asked about in their request for an update.
It is all bogus and a flagrant violation of the LTD plan, but my only recourse is to appeal the decision to the very group that denied it to begin with and hope that they start playing by the rules that they've shown no hesitation to ignore before. I am unable to get AT&T to even look into the fact that the people that are supposed to be administering the plan are themselves not following the plan. I can't seek any kind of legal recourse until after an appeal is written up and denied (80% of appeals are denied). I do need to get some legal help with this though. I have no money to hire an attorney, but this is likely to go to court eventually (possibly even as a class action suit) and I'm sure some attorneys somewhere are going to make some serious $ off it.
But enough of that. I'm trying to NOT think about the crooks in the world and concentrate on Christmas and the reason for the season. Maybe for Christmas I'll get an attorney that will help with this appeal and likely subsequent law suit against some rather deep pockets. Justice for Christmas. Has a nice ring to it.
