Excerpted from When Bad Things Happen to Good People by Harold S. Kushner. Copyright © 2004 by Harold S. Kushner. Excerpted by permission of Anchor, a division of Random House LLC. All rights reserved. No part of this excerpt may be reproduced or reprinted without permission in writing from the publisher.
Harold S. Kushner is rabbi laureate of Temple Israel in the Boston suburb of Natick, Massachusetts. A native of Brooklyn, New York, he is the author of more than a dozen books on coping with life's challenges, including, most recently, the best-selling Conquering Fear and Overcoming Life's Disappointments.
1. What is wrong, according to Kushner, with the quotations from the Bible on page 12? Such teachings tell us that God is in control and makes things happen for a reason; why does Kushner disagree with the perspective they express?
2. What does Kushner mean when he says, "Chaos is evil" [p. 61]?
3. Throughout the book, Kushner emphasizes the role of community in bringing people through their worst pain and grief. He mentions Jewish traditions like the meal of replenishment and the recitation of the Mourner's Kaddish [p. 133], which shift the focus away from grief and death and back to life. Why is this idea so important, and why is it so often overlooked by people who are suffering from a loss?
4. What is the main message of the prayer written by Jack Riemer [pp. 130–31]? How does it differ from the kinds of prayers people often pray, like asking God for acceptance to a certain college or asking for a relative to get well? How is it similar to or different from the prayer of Jacob, discussed on pages 136–37?
5. Do the ideas expressed in When Bad Things Happen to Good People apply equally well to private and public tragedy—say, one person's death from cancer as opposed to the massive loss of life that took place on September 11, 2001, or the devastation of the 2003 earthquake in Iran? How might these ideas affect a reader's moral understanding of history's worst events?
6. Why is the story of Job so important to this book? What insight does Kushner bring to the story?
7. Kushner writes, "I no longer hold God responsible for illnesses, accidents, and natural disasters, because I realize that I gain little and I lose so much when I blame God for those things" [p. 147]. Does it make sense that God is not an active agent in human misfortune? Why do most people think that God is responsible for the bad things that happen to us?
8. The idea that suffering has no meaning is "the most significant challenge that can be offered to the point of view I have been advocating in this book" [p. 148]. How does Kushner come to terms with this problem?
9. What is the wisdom in Kushner's suggestion that we should always focus on looking forward, asking ourselves, "Now that this has happened to me, what am I going to do about it?" [p. 149]
10. Kushner writes, "There is a crucial difference between denying the tragedy, insisting that everything is for the best, and seeing the tragedy in the context of a whole life, keeping one's eye and mind on what has enriched you and not only on what you have lost" [p. 153]. Why is this shift in perspective so important?
11. "The facts of life and death are neutral. We, by our responses, give suffering either a positive or a negative meaning" [p. 151]. How central is this statement to the book's overall argument?
12. Kushner says that he would give up all of the wisdom and sensitivity that he gained through his own suffering in order to be "the father of a bright, happy boy" [p. 147]. If Kushner's son had lived, it is unlikely he would have written this book. Kushner argues that suffering is not ennobling, yet his readers might argue that in his case it was. What is the creative potential of tragic experience?
13. If you could summarize in a sentence or two how this book has changed your perspective on the most difficult problems you face, what would you say? What inspiration does the book offer for you?

- Too firm and underpowered for beginners
Wilson Ripspin is a co-poly designed with a special coating to amplify spin. The design worked quite well for our playtest team, and we definitely found some extra spin (if not the lethal bite of a shaped poly like Solinco Tour Bite). Moreover, when tensioned correctly there was more than enough control to take robust upward cuts without having the shot slip out of its intended trajectory. The payoff was a ball that dived sharply before jumping off the court with a weighty combination of spin and pace. Like most of the high tech co-polys we've hit in recent years, this one is built with some extra flexibility, the effect of which is slightly above average comfort for a firm monofilament. Ultimately, while neither playtester is switching to Ripspin, our team found it hard to argue with this string's combination of spin, precision and overall playability.
Power - Score: 43
With its very modest power level, Ripspin is ideal for big hitters like Troy, whose long, fast strokes don't need a lot of extra power. He said, "It's a given that polyester strings have less power than other string materials, but what I found with Ripspin was a low-powered, control-oriented response compared with other poly strings that I've used. With proper technique, this string allows you to take big cuts at the ball without fear of hitting long. I found this string optimal when paired with a more powerful racquet than my Six.One 95. When I hit this string in the Wilson Steam 99S it seemed to dial in the control. I think those seeking a string to tone down the power level of their racquet will enjoy the performance of this string."
Finding slightly more power than Troy, Michelle said, "Ripspin wasn't overly powerful (which is a good thing for me), but it did have some pop. This was OK because I could string it up higher, which I tend to do, for more control. For me, the 'Rip' can come in two ways with a string like this, either by using my own power at a higher tension or using some of the string's power at a lower tension. Either way, I was definitely ripping some balls with this string."
Spin - Score: 84
Specially designed to amplify spin, Ripspin gave even our resident flat ball hitter some extra ball rotation. Michelle said, "I'm a fan of polys that give added spin to my flatter game, so Ripspin's extra spin was appreciated. Because this co-poly is round the spin potential felt slightly different from shaped polys. I didn't feel the tight grip of a shaped poly, but Ripspin definitely snapped the ball out of the stringbed with decent spin. The feel can be slightly erratic with shaped polys, so I enjoyed the predictable launch off my stringbed that I got from Ripspin."
Though not at the top of his spin list, Ripspin provided Troy with more RPMs than the average poly. He said, "The low-friction coating on this string was noticeable when hitting groundstrokes with heavy spin. Ripspin created some good curve on my topspin shots. Out of the long list of poly strings that I have tried, I've accessed more spin with strings like Babolat RPM Blast, Volkl Cyclone and Solinco Tour Bite. I found better than average spin with this string, but I feel that this string really shines in a spin-effect type racquet."
Comfort - Score: 63
Like most co-polys, Ripspin was made with special additives to reduce some of the harsh feedback for which polyester strings are known. This formula definitely worked for Michelle, who said, "Ripspin was very comfortable! I didn't have any problems with comfort with this string. I could string a stiff racquet in the high 50s without any comfort issues at all! I'm always happy when I can play around with the tensions in my stiff racquet and not suffer at all after pounding balls on the court for a couple hours."
Ripspin gave Troy a little more comfort than the typical control string. He said, "Finding this string to be low powered and control oriented, I was surprised that it didn't feel too firm on the arm. As far as arm comfort goes, I would say this string has a crisp feel but isn't necessarily jarring on the arm. I have found strings such as Solinco Tour Bite, Luxilon 4G and Prince Beast XP to feel more jarring on the arm, especially when contacting the ball outside the sweetspot."
Control - Score: 85
If our playtesters have it right, big hitters will definitely appreciate the control Ripspin offers on full swings. Troy was impressed, saying, "Control was the best aspect of this string for me. I felt connected to my shots when trying to paint the lines. The low-powered feel of this string was beneficial when attacking the ball from the baseline. I tried this string in the Wilson Steam 99S, and this string helped tone down the liveliness of that racquet, which was a benefit in my opinion."
Always looking to add some control to her flat bombs, Michelle said, "As with most polys, I found adequate control from this string. It helped reel my power in slightly when strung at the right tension and gave me enough access to spin to keep my balls in, so I didn't have to worry too much about balls flying out. I'm always looking for more control, so if anything, I wouldn't mind even more control from this string, but that's getting picky."
Playability Duration - Score: 78
Ripspin held up quite well under the pressure of Michelle's huge strokes. She said, "I was able to try Ripspin in a couple different gauges and found the playability duration to last well through the playtest. It didn't ever seem to lose any snapback, and the string played true through the playtest. I didn't have any problems with notching or fraying."
For Troy, Ripspin performed like a typical poly-based string. "Playability was average compared to other co-poly monofilaments. I found a solid 10-12 hours of play before this string started to feel dead, with the elasticity diminished compared to its initial feel."
Overall - Score: 80
What type of player would you recommend this to?
Michelle - "Anyone who prefers the rounder polys but is still looking for added spin potential from a lower powered string. Also, this string will probably pair really well with spin-friendly frames. Players who already use a lot of spin in their fundamentals should love this string. Even players who hit flatter will enjoy this string because of the added spin potential."
Troy - "Advanced players with big groundstrokes will enjoy this string for its overall control. I also feel that the intermediate player who is trying to get more control out of their racquet will find a good response from this string."
Michelle - "I appreciated the 'Rip' and 'Spin' from this string -- that's exactly what I like in my game! I found this poly to be controlled enough that I could rip the ball but it had enough added spin potential that I could whip through and find the topspin I was looking for. It was comfortable and durable, and it played solidly throughout the playtest!"
Troy - "I enjoyed the control of this string when swinging freely from the baseline."
Michelle - "I can't say there was anything that stood out with this string that I didn't like!"
Troy - "I preferred this string in an open string pattern racquet or a more powerful racquet than my Six.One 95."
Comparing the string to others they've tried, our testers said:
Michelle - "It has a similar feel to Luxilon Adrenaline, a little less lively to me, though, but similar in terms of comfort, spin levels and playability."
Troy - "I found a similar feel to Topspin Cyber Flash and ISOSPEED Black Fire, but this string possessed more spin potential."

To me this looks more like a piece of pie - especially with that crust edge and the shape of the slice. Intentional?
Well, that's frustrating. It didn't come up in any of my Googling. The point of my gag is that the pig has peg-legs (because he's being gradually consumed), and the tagline is not uncommon (but a little cannibalistic in this case.) Hopefully the rejectionator will be kind in seeing the differences. But as of late kindness is not in his/her vocabulary.

Banned Books Week: Celebrating the Freedom to Read
September 27−October 3, 2015
Banned Books Week is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read. Typically held during the last week of September, it highlights the value of free and open access to information. Banned Books Week brings together the entire book community –- librarians, booksellers, publishers, journalists, teachers, and readers of all types –- in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular.
By focusing on efforts across the country to remove or restrict access to books, Banned Books Week draws national attention to the harms of censorship. Check out the frequently challenged books section to explore the issues and controversies around book challenges and book banning. The books featured during Banned Books Week have all been targeted with removal or restrictions in libraries and schools. While books have been and continue to be banned, part of the Banned Books Week celebration is the fact that, in a majority of cases, the books have remained available. This happens only thanks to the efforts of librarians, teachers, students, and community members who stand up and speak out for the freedom to read.
For more information on getting involved with Banned Books Week: Celebrating the Freedom to Read, please see Ideas and Resources, Calendar of Events, and the new Banned Books Week site. You can also contact the ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom at 1-800-545-2433, ext. 4220, or firstname.lastname@example.com.
For media inquiries related to Banned Books Week, please contact: Heather Cho, Media Relations Specialist, 312-280-4020, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Banned Books Week is sponsored by the American Booksellers Association; American Booksellers for Free Expression; the American Library Association; American Society of Journalists and Authors; Association of American Publishers; Comic Book Legal Defense Fund; the Freedom to Read Foundation; National Coalition Against Censorship; National Council of Teachers of English; National Association of College Stores; People for the American Way; PEN American Center and and Project Censored. It is endorsed by the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress.

All ACHE members are automatically members of their local ACHE chapter at no additional cost. ACHE encourages chapters to reach out to students in ways that will enhance their academic experience. Please provide some examples of programs and services valuable to students that you would like to see provided by chapters.
At our program's affiliated hospital, I've heard from directors and executives that their graduate programs had Student ACHE chapters. They would use these student chapters to aid in fundraising to help students cover the cost of attending Congress. Currently, our school gives students a stipend to help send them to Congress, but the cost still deters some from attending. I feel that if our local chapter had some sort resources or support to help our program plant a student ACHE chapter, it would be highly beneficial to help students get involved in ACHE.
Philip Talcott
Master of Health Administration Candidate, 2013

One of the most valuable services the local chapters could provide would be to have a program for students to be able to connect with a mentor. It could be very helpful if it were structured to be a list of individuals who have agreed to be part of a "mentor database" with bio information about the area they work in currently and their past healthcare career experiences. If it were structured in this format it would allow students to identify which mentors they are interested in connecting with. It would also allow students to reach out to these individuals for a more brief interaction to learn more about the mentor's area within healthcare and the type of work they do to determine if it is an area of interest that the student should consider pursuing.
Chapters should also ensure that events have at least one component or speaker that would be relevant to students so they would be interested to attend. My local chapter's upcoming career positioning and professional development event is a good example of a topic that would be beneficial to students as well as professionals looking to advance within healthcare. One of the challenges, at least for my local chapter, is that students do not consistently attend the local chapter events due to the need to travel long distances to the event location. My local chapter attempts to hold events in various locations within Michigan, which makes it difficult for students to attend when they need to coordinate traveling long distances to the event with their schedules. It would be great if the local chapter could do a small event once a year either on campus or in the same city as the campus so students could attend. This type of modified event directed toward students could be done in conjunction with the visit the Regent is supposed to make to the university each year. It would be very helpful to many students to have an opportunity to hear a variety of speakers describe their career path and provide advice and suggestions to students about entering into and advancing within healthcare administration careers.

A career planning event would be very useful for students. Students are working hard to obtain the advanced degree, but many are not sure what will come after that. Another service would be a leader-to-leader program, where a current healthcare executive could help advise a student on how to seek opportunities in healthcare. Tranel H.

Care for a Shelter Animal with Special Needs
Roll over image to zoom in
Fund a week's care for an animal in a special-needs shelter.
We love reading your stories of rescued animals -- animals whose courageous, cheerful spirits inspire us. So many of your stories are about animals overcoming adversity: injury, illness, abuse. These are the stories that move us most; these are the animals that need a little extra from us to thrive as they were always meant to.
A few animal shelters around the United States take in animals with special needs. Their residents include dogs who need wheeled harnesses in order to move around, blind horses, cats with feline leukemia, and so many others. The beautiful thing about animals with special needs is that they do not know they are disabled. With some extra attention and, in some cases, thoughtful devices, they can live as fully as any other animal.
You can help! Just $15.00 covers one week's care for an animal with special needs. Expenses might include medications for diabetes, feline leukemia, and other illnesses; orthopedic gear; even veterinary surgery.
$15.00 a week is an average cost. Some animals' expenses will be much higher, while others' will be somewhat lower. We have used the most conservative figures from the special-needs shelters we are working with, so that we can always overdeliver. Your donation will fund at least one week's care for an animal, and most likely a little bit more.
GreaterGood.org makes grants to several different special-needs shelters around the United States. We're always searching for more worthy charities to fund -- so if you know of a special-needs animal shelter that deserves some help, drop us a line and let us know!
Free Standard Shipping in the U.S. on your entire cart when you donate $15.00 or more in our Gift That Gives More™ program. See Current Promotions for details.
Why a Gift That Gives More™ is a smart, effective donation.
100% of your donation will go to the program described above as a grant through GreaterGood.org. GreaterGood stores do not receive any profit from donations through this Gift That Gives More™; we bring it to you in the spirit of the greater good. We even pay the credit card transaction fee, so every cent of your donation goes to charity.
Please note: A free downloadable certificate is available to print for easy gift giving for any non-disaster related Gift That Gives More™. The "gift message" field during check-out does not apply to your Gift That Gives More™ certificate.
Your donation is 100% tax-deductible in the U.S.A.
You will receive a receipt from GreaterGood.org for your taxes. GreaterGood.org has ultimate authority and discretion with regard to the distribution of its funds. All expenditures made are consistent with the exempt purposes of GreaterGood.org.
Check with your employer: your company may match your donation.

REVIEW: Non-Stop
61 year old Liam Neeson kicks ass as a brooding U.S. air marshal on a flight from NYC to London, who gets anonymous in-flight texts, threatening to kill someone on board every 20 minutes unless 150-mil is wired into an off-shore account.
Julianne Moore is the mysterious seat mate with "Downton Abbey's" Michelle Dockery and "12 Year's A Slave" Oscar nominee Lupita Nyong'o as flight attendants. "Red Tails"' ""Arbitrage" star Nate Parker This is a taut, who-done-it on speed. It lives up to its title: non-stop from the minute we get into the air and mysterious throughout.
This just under 2 hour thriller flies by (excuse the pun). Thankfully 3-D-less, this is a near perfect , albeit implausible terror ride. You definitely get the bang for the buck.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

The foundation of this contemporary treasure is an openwork cutout disc of intricately detailed sterling silver with an oxidized finish. At the top of the disc is a bezel-set round gold mother of pearl gem, encircling a square cabochon of purple spiny oyster shell. Completing the spirit wheel are polished stones of red and purple spiny oyster and green turquoise. This modern tradition enhancer is a refreshing display of natural beauty. Measures 2" long x 1-3/4" wide and features a hidden snap hinge bail. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
Modern design with traditional inspiration. Purple spiny oyster and green turquoise pay tribute to the earth and the sea, and the breathtaking color of the sun is represented by gold mother of pearl. Traditional symbols of the sun and everlasting life are given stunning contemporary styling.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

This is a positive feedback loop where ice melt causes more ice to melt. Second, distinctive Arctic species such as the polar bear, walrus and ice seals depend on the sea ice; they cannot survive without it, so as the sea ice shrinks and thins, these animals' continued existence is jeopardized, as are the Arctic peoples whose cultures and ways of life have depended on the animals and the ice for millenia.
The shrinking and receding sea ice has dire consequences. First, as the white ice that normally reflects sunlight away from Earth melts, more of the dark open water of the Arctic Ocean is is exposed, absorbing heat and causing more ice to melt.

He now has a dojo he built and about one hundred students including ten dan rank members. He has sponsored visits by Yamakura Shihan to Israel two times, and traveled to the USA two times including attending our 50th Anniversary event. He has added yoga and combat fitness to his curriculum recently. His hard work, dedication, enthusiasm, concern for his students, great personality, and family support have resulted in a wonderful success story with no end in sight. We are fortunate to have him.

Azure Whelpling
Binds when used
Use: Teaches you how to summon this companion.
Flutters about and spins around.
Wing flutter (constant); vocalizations (on-click)
Prior to The Shattering, the Azure Whelpling dropped from Blue Dragonspawn, Draconic Mageweaver, Blue Scalebane, Draconic Magelord in Azshara.
After Patch 4.0.3a this pet was relocated to Winterspring as a zone drop.
Was flying around capturing pets missing from my list. Decided to hit Hyjal for the Nordrassil wisp. Caught one, then hopped over the hill to Winterspring. Echo isles, 8:30 Pm server, 8 kills in the village and it dropped. Sometimes you get lucky, I usually never do.
OMG - I've killed the Winterfall Village a ga=zillion times and still no drop. thoursands of kills...I know it will drop at some point...if I live that long. I dream that place now!
Got mine today! Seriously lucky. After about 250 kills it dropped. The best farm area is to the right of Everlook, all of the shamans and ursas. The respawn rate is fast and you get some good greens out of it too. There is also a rare that spawns in the area Grizzle Snowpaw, and he has a 0.09% drop chance [which is higher than all of the mobs in Winterspring (0.01% to 0.05%)] but his respawn rate ranges from 3-6 hours.
Happy hunting <3
(all stats from wowhead.com)
Got this today. Farmed winterfall village. East of ever look. Noticed the npc's started spawning faster and dropping better loot including blues. About an hour into this it dropped. I've noticed this seems to be the same on all the whelpling drops. Watch for the extra loot to start and the pets will drop soon.
Finally got him after 4176 kills! Off to farm the Emerald Whelpling!
Guess I was lucky. I got mine from an elete 2 levels bigger than me. In the valley as you come into winterspring. Was not even farming him just questing.
any chance the Yeti's in the cave next to map loacation may have one?
I've looted 3700 times and still nothing. Ugg.
got it off the AH for about 4k, pretty cheap considering it was already lvl 25 :)
Thanks for the tip. Farmed the village between waiting for raids and success. Beats paying nearly $20,000.00 at the Action House!!!
Winterfall Village was the spot for me. 4 kills and I got my Azure Whelpling. :)
After 3 days of off & on farming in Winterspring- I got one after about 500 hits. I just stayed in the Winterfall Village and kept hitting the bear guys. They respawn pretty fast and I thought it was pretty easy just time consuming. Just keep trying and stay in that village!!! Good Luck! -Lanolan Zul-jin Horde
I personally got frustrated of all the farming and being interrupted constantly by other people...so I kept an eye on the AH and managed to buy one for 1900g. That's not much to keep your sanity @vvv@
Confirming that this still drops off the fast spawning mobs in the Mazthoril cave as of patch 5.4.2.
I personally had some confusion because wowhead did not list it as a drop for any of the mobs inside the cave (out of 100,000+ kills), and was beginning to wonder if it had been removed as a drop from those mobs because they respawn so quickly.
But thankfully, it does still drop off the mobs in the cave. In my opinion, easily the fastest way to farm this pet.
Pretty stoked, I've had terrible luck with farming for whelplings so far until this guy. Got Bunny Hunter to help track how much I'd actually farmed and managed to get him to drop after about 528 kills. I farmed the oozlings and elementals at Frostfire Hot Springs. They respawn super fast. Good luck!
I've named my Azure Whelpling "Awbee" in honor of the poor lost little whelp in Blackrock Spire. I did her quest back in the day, and it was one of my favorites. I always wanted to take Awbee with me as a pet. I was so happy when they added this pet to the game!
13013 kills now, still counting. Just so you know, if at some point in the future you find Winterfall Schaman and Ursa refusing to spawn ... I wiped out the whole village about 400 times now.
True Love.
I was helping my husband clear out his duplicate pets (he's only JUST NOW getting interested in them) and noticed he had this one. I commented. He said he was going to put it on the auction house since it was so rare. I cried (well, not really). Today, he decided to GIVE IT TO ME.
I am so happy. Now if all my farming of oozes in Swamp of Sorrows would finally pay off...
I was ready for a long grind. Maybe the Wow Gods have shone down on me, because I got this somewhere between 100-200 kills. I was qued for a dungeon and someone was taking forever to accept, so I downed a rock elemental real fast...BAM! Azure Whelpling. Panic set in as I hurried to collect...would the dungeon procastinator hit accept before I clicked it (I would have thrown my computer across the room)? Made it. I feel so lucky right now.
Johnathon- You are immeasurably lucky to have gotten those other drops in such small kill amounts. For the Dark Whelpling, I spend several days doing nothing but farming (only stopped to sleep), first 1600 or so kill in Burning Steppes, then 400 more in Badlands when it dropped finally. For the Black Tabby I spent at least 1000 kills and left without ever getting it. Camping for a rare Onyxia spawn was easier than this drop farming.

Comments about BlueWater Ropes Climb-Spec Premium Webbing (1" x 300 ft):
I have not had this stuff long enough to put it through too much wear and tear, but so far this stuff is awesome.
Great for making a variety of slings, chest harnesses, and almost any climbing related item you can think of. If you can make an overhand knot, you can make any custom length sling your heart desires.
This is also great for making slacklines, and with a couple of carabiners, and a few 3/8" chain links, you could make almost any length you wanted to.
Over all, this is a great product for anyone getting serious about climbing and mountaineering, and wants to save a couple of bucks by making their own gear.

1949 Chevy Heating and Air Conditioning - Crimps 'n' Hose
Written by on January 1, 2010You may remember that last month I installed a Vintage Air evaporator under the dash (almost!) in my project '49 Chevy, converted the stock heater controls to operate the air conditioning, and fabricated a bulkhead fitting to route the plumbing from the interior to the engine bay. Well, it's been a busy month, as not only did I plumb the brakes (see page 40), but also plumbed the air and heater hoses, and wired the air conditioning.
I'll not go into great detail on the wiring, as not only is it simple with wiring harnesses supplied by Vintage Air, but it's covered in the instruction manual that comes with the system; and other systems will be different. I will show you the major components, like the trinary safety switch, heater control valve, and their associated relays. Likewise, I won't delve into how auto air conditioning works, since we covered that in great detail in our May '08 issue. What I will concentrate on is the plumbing and how to crimp the hoses, as well as how to prepare them for crimping if you're not going to do it yourself. And let's face it, most of you won't because the tool is somewhat expensive and impractical if you're only going to tackle one or two systems. Your local automotive A/C supply house should be able to crimp hoses, but you need to make sure they crimp the fittings exactly where you want 'em, using the proper crimping tool!
Vintage Air offers its Sure Fit A/C kits for a wide range of cars with tailor-made bracketry, moldings, and ready-crimped hoses or hard lines, but can also help you with universal components. If you're like me, you require a unique system. Having never installed an A/C system before, I was pleased to see the Vintage Air kit was very complete, the instructions were easy to understand, and the whole deal was simple to accomplish if a methodical approach was taken. Yes, I actually read the instructions! Once the major components-the compressor, condenser, dryer, and evaporator-were mounted in the car, I plumbed the whole system without crimping any fittings, as the hose pushes into the fittings and will stay there during mockup. This turned out to be a wise move, as I moved the location of the hoses on the bulkhead fitting more than once, and added a Pro Line TiteFit hard line kit to the compressor after running hoses to it at first, for a neater appearance, and ease of removing the valve covers down the road.
Once I was happy with the way the hoses ran, and had ensured that all the writing on them was "facedown" so it couldn't be seen, I marked the hoses and fittings and was ready to get crimping. Or at least I was ready to let our resident tech center whizz, Jason, get crimping. Oh, and while it should be obvious, there's a circuit to be followed with the hoses; from the evaporator to the compressor, then to the condenser, to the dryer, through the safety switch, and back to the evaporator. Make sure you get this right and use the correct ports on each component! Some of the hoses and fittings are different sizes. There are three used-No. 6, No. 8, and No. 10-but it's still worth mentioning. Route the refrigerant lines as per the Vintage Air instructions and you can't go wrong.
There are a couple of other things worth mentioning before we dive under the dash, and that's that the evaporator needs a drain, for which I haven't decided where to drill through the floor yet. One refrigerant and both the heater fittings are tucked way up behind the evaporator and aren't easily accessible in my particular installation. If your's is the same, do yourself a favor and make sure you can access any hose clamps from underneath. This is especially applicable if you do as I did and attach these hoses before you fit the evaporator. Plan ahead, it'll be worth it in the future.
It should be noted that the four major components are sealed and filled with dry nitrogen under pressure, and the caps should not be removed prior to installation, as this will cause them to collect moisture and lead to reduced performance or even failure. Once the caps have been removed, you should aim to plumb the system as quickly as possible and have it evacuated to boil away any moisture before charging with 1.8 pounds of R134A refrigerant.
Before the system can be used, since I modified my controls using a '61-62 Impala conversion kit, I'll have to calibrate the control panel, but again the instructions for this are in the conversion kit manual and are straightforward. Finally, there's not much point having A/C in an un-insulated car, so invest in some form of heat insulation, and make sure all door and window seals are doing their job. OK, sleeves rolled up, here we go.

Why does the United States Air Force, in their teaching materials provided to ICBM missile combat crew at Air Force Global Strike Command, present such a sympathetic portrayal of former Nazi scientist and SS officer Werner von Braun, and why does the Air Force limit their discussion about Nazi involvement in the U.S. space program to "only one man," von Braun? The reason is simple, but shocking to many, as the history has been largely covered-up, or relegated to out-of-print history books: the U.S. missile program, and much of its military science program in the post-World War II period, was imported wholesale from the Nazis, including their leading scientists.

Darvish, Ubaldo ready to rumble in rubber game
But the Rangers right-hander isn't concerned about those games or numbers.
"I haven't been thinking about that, I'm thinking about my next start," Darvish said. "I'm looking ahead. I feel like I'm going to get better."
That next start comes on Sunday in the final game of a three-game set between the Rangers and Indians. He'll oppose struggling right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez in the series' rubber match after Texas won Saturday, 5-2, in 11 innings.
Jimenez is 2-2 with a 5.02 ERA, but those numbers don't paint the whole picture. On Tuesday in Chicago, he needed 105 pitches to get through 4 2/3 laborious innings. Jimenez's three starts before that saw him throw 113 pitches in six innings, 107 pitches in six innings and 112 pitches in five innings.
"I've been able to go out there without having my stuff, without having my mechanics, but I still fight out there," Jimenez said. "It's not like I've been a total mess. I probably should be better, but I've been fighting."
Jimenez blames his struggles on mechanics, noting his front shoulder "isn't bringing enough power" for his fastball to be effective.
For Texas manager Ron Washington, establishing a fastball is exactly what has made Darvish so good in his last four starts. Washington said because Darvish is throwing his heater for strikes, he is setting up his secondary pitches to perfectly keep hitters off-balance.
"My strength has been my ability to adjust to the opposing hitters each start," Darvish said.
Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus has a 25-game hitting streak against the Indians after notching a pair of knocks in Saturday's contest. It's the second longest hitting streak by a player against one opponent in Rangers history. Ivan Rodriguez had a 27-game hitting streak against Tampa Bay from 1998 to 2000.
Rangers: Beltre close to full-time duties
A strained left hamstring has kept Texas third baseman Adrian Beltre out of the starting lineup for four straight games, but it didn't stop him from hitting a go-ahead, pinch-hit home run in the 11th inning on Saturday.
He may be available to start a day after taking ground balls and doing sprints in the outfield before Saturday's contest. Beltre was removed after the home run and didn't play defense in the bottom of the 11th.
"I certainly liked what I saw," Washington said before Saturday's game. "He's getting there. If he's not in there [Sunday], I'm hoping for Monday. The good thing is Adrian is pacing himself. I don't have to fight him on this. He's managing it. I just want him to feel confident he's getting there."
The three-game losing streak that the Rangers snapped with their win on Saturday marked the only time they've lost consecutive games this season.
Andrus has reached base in 23 straight games, and should he reach base on Sunday, the 24-game streak would be the longest of his career.
Indians: McAllister gets call for twin bill
Righty Zach McAllister is set to make his season debut for the Indians on Monday, as part of a day-night doubleheader against the White Sox. Manager Manny Acta said it's likely McAllister will start the first game.
"He's thrown the ball well," Acta said. "His last outing was very good. He's keeping his fastball down and maintaining his velocity that he showed in Spring Training. His secondary pitches are coming around."
McAllister is 3-1 with a 2.83 ERA in six starts for Triple-A Columbus. Because of a new rule that allows an extra player to be added for doubleheaders, the Indians won't have to clear room on the roster for McAllister.
Cleveland has homered seven times in the last five games, with seven different players hitting the long balls.
Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis is hitting .420 over his last 13 games. He extended his hitting streak to nine games on Saturday.
Worth noting
In eight at-bats against Jimenez, Rangers catcher Yorvit Torrealba has three hits, including a pair of doubles. Torrealba will start on Sunday, marking the second time he has caught Darvish.
The Rangers are hitting .326 with runners in scoring position on the road this season.

The vm download link seems broken.
Phoronix: Google Chrome OS 0.4.223 Beta Available
While Google's Chrome web-browser is not officially available for Linux quite yet, a proper beta release of their Linux-based Chrome OS is now available. Google has just uploaded Chrome OS 0.4.223 Beta and has made it publicly available for download through this web-page both as an ISO and VMDK/VMX files for VirtualBox and VMware virtualization support...
The vm download link seems broken.
What about this little note on bottom of the page :??Chrome OS is not related to Google. Service provided by SUSE Studio. See the license.
This is not Google Chrome OS, it is just Crhome OS. And is another Linux distro. Please pay attention to the smaller chars at the end of download section: "Chrome OS is not related to Google. Service provided by SUSE Studio. See the license."
Ahh, tabloid journalism at its finest.
well he made half the internet flock to this site to get a link, so the money has been made in ads .
So many people have been fooled by this.
Ingenious work by the author.
Site diabled for terms of use violations. Google still has a cache of the download page, as of writing, not that it really matters.
What the hell? That was bizarre. It's Google Chrome! Wait, no it isn't. Yes it is! No it isn't! I'm not dead yet! What was the point of all this? Was someone was trying to pull a practical joke or something? And if so, faking a Google Chrome OS release is pretty lame. Why not fake a Windows 8 Alpha or something?
