Gold Weight
Gold was extremely important in the economic and political life of the Akan kingdoms of southern Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. Until the mid-nineteenth century, gold dust was the primary form of currency in the region. In order to measure precise amounts of gold, an elaborate system of weights, usually made of cast brass, developed by the seventeenth century. Gold weights took many forms: simple geometric shapes; animals, such as leopards or birds; objects, such as chairs or swords; and human figures. The figures, animals, and objects are often associated with proverbs. The sankofa bird, with head turned backward, represents the proverb "One must turn to the past to move forward."
This text refers to these objects: ' 1990.221.63; 74.218.23; 74.218.24; 74.218.29; 74.218.58; 74.218.62; 74.218.68; 74.218.85; 74.218.117; 88.192.37; 88.192.47; 88.192.63; 88.192.66; 88.192.70; 88.192.76; 88.192.88; 88.192.99; 88.192.127; 88.192.129; 67.25.15; 67.25.14; 45.11.5; 81.168.1

In these uncertain times, enthusiasts are forced to watch every penny. That means maximizing power with a minimal expenditure. In most cases, it is necessary to trade the expense for either knowledge (of the likes you will find in the pages of Super Chevy) or good, old-fashioned, elbow grease. In the case of our Chump Change Challenge, we traded both.
The premise was a simple, albeit popular one. Take one small-block Chevy and select the most cost-effective components in order to achieve our seemingly conflicting goal of power and economy. On the power side, we selected 400 hp as a reasonable output. Building a 350 to produce 400hp is really no big deal, but doing it for chump change is decidedly more difficult.
In this case, chump change meant building our small-block with a ceiling of just $1,000. Given the fact that $1,000 is nearly the cost of a set of most aluminum cylinder heads, reaching 400 hp for a grand total of $1,000 looks pretty impressive-not to mention somewhat difficult. Now let's throw in the fact that the $1,000 price tag must also include not only the cost of the entire engine, but also a set of aluminum cylinder heads. Have we lost our minds?
Naturally, the 400hp motor was not going to be some off-the-shelf crate motor assembly, unless you count the shelf at your local wrecking yard. Remember we said that it might be necessary to trade cost for some elbow grease? In this case, the elbow grease came in the form of some computer legwork through the local Craigslist and Recycler, as well as a few trips to a nearby boneyard. Calling first, we found a few yards that offered complete engines for just $225 (plus a core of $50). Of course, the $225 examples were still installed in the vehicle, so this meant trading elbow grease for the additional cost savings.
Always up for a quickie R&R procedure, we ventured off to our favorite Pick Your Part in search of a low-buck (but hopefully fine-running) engine. Believe us, running engines (even good running ones) are out there for the taking. Given the sheer production numbers, this is especially true of small-block Chevys, though we made every effort to avoid the 305s and instead concentrated on finding a 350. The added displacement and bore size would help us achieve our goal on the limited budget available for performance parts.
Available in both cars and trucks, our only concern was to locate a good-running example with (hopefully) a 4-barrel Q-jet. Though we would be replacing the cast-iron 4-barrel intake manifold, the Q-jet was mandatory to help us achieve the desired power and keep us under the $1,000 mark. As it turned out, the search for the Q-Jet was unnecessary as a suitable candidate fell right in our laps.
Here are a couple of tips that might help you separate a usable small-block from the rest of the junk. First off, make sure that the engine in question has everything present that you will need to install in your vehicle. In most cases (like ours), the cost of the motor included everything from the air cleaner assembly down to the oil pan and from the fan to flex plate-including things like motor mounts, starter, and all of the accessories, though none of these would be run on the engine dyno.
After checking out the major components, it is time to look specifically at the engine to ascertain its health and viability as a candidate for your project. Check the coolant, oil, and spark plugs. The oil and coolant have likely been drained, but check inside the radiator cap or even in one of the radiator hoses for signs of antifreeze. Fresh antifreeze is a good sign, a rusty radiator or thermostat housing is not.
If the oil has been drained, smell the dipstick-does is smell like burnt oil? Even go to the trouble of removing the drain plug on the oil pan. Does the residual oil resemble sludge or is it clean? Don't confuse high mileage for abuse, as dark oil can mean that the motor simply needed an oil change and not a bearing change. Don't be afraid to yank a valve cover to verify the condition of the engine, as going to all the trouble of pulling a V-8 only to find out that it is a junker is huge waste of time and energy.

We likely don't have to tell you the details of the Corvette ZR1's LS9 engine, but just in case, it's a 6.2-liter (376ci) mill that's force-fed by a 2.3-liter Roots-type supercharger using Eaton's twin-vortex, four-lobe rotor design. It's a relatively simple recipe that delivers 638 hp and 604 lb-ft of torque, making for one of the sweetest combinations in the history of internal combustion.
Of course, there's also a 7.0-liter (427ci) engine in the Corvette arsenal, in the form of the Z06's LS7. It's only logical to wonder what would happen if you married the big blower from the LS9 with the larger displacement of the LS7.
The Detroit-area LS-engine gurus at Thomson Automotive did more than bench-race about that "what if"-they acted on it, building a 7.0L engine with that factory supercharger setup. It was commissioned by Germany-based American auto enthusiast Ron Flatt, who wanted the engine for a '67 Corvette project destined for eyebrow-raising-and Porsche-stomping-runs on the Autobahn.
For a number of reasons, Thomson didn't simply bolt the LS9 blower onto an LS7 crate engine. Instead, the company built a custom bottom end that would support the projected 700-plus horsepower that the additional 51 cubic inches of displacement would provide.
"The LS7 is an excellent engine, but it has a very high compression ratio that's not compatible with a higher-boost supercharger setup," says Brian Thomson, president of Thomson Automotive. "There were other things we wanted to do to ensure an optimal balance of performance and safe, pump-gas driveability without the fear of detonation-and because it was ultimately being shipped to Germany, we wanted to make sure it was as durable as possible."
The details of the buildup are found below, but highlights include the following:
An iron LSX cylinder block from GM Performance Parts
An all-forged rotating assembly with low-compression 9.0:1 pistons
Custom piston oil squirters in the cylinders
GMPP's new LSX-LS9 cylinder heads
A custom, smaller-diameter blower pulley to spin the blower faster and generate boost comparable to factory LS9 levels on the larger-capacity 7.0L engine
On Thomson's engine dyno, the combination's best performance was 710 horses and 780 lb-ft of torque, with about 12 pounds of boost. We witnessed the dyno test, and what we found just as impressive as the engine's peak numbers was its overall tractability.
Thomson picked a sweetheart of a camshaft that delivers the idle characteristics of a stock engine, but spits out ever-bigger numbers as the revs climb. It's only been within the last five years or so that such performance has been attainable with daily-driveable traits. This engine doesn't stutter or stumble at idle, it doesn't "lay down" at certain rpm levels, and it's not tuned on the ragged edge to make its impressive numbers.
"Germany isn't exactly across town or even in the next state, so we won't be able to service the engine easily," says Thomson. "We went probably a little more conservative than normal on the tuning to make sure the customer wouldn't have any worries. But we think the numbers are still pretty good."
So do we. Here's a closer look at how they were achieved:
LSX Block And Blower Compatibility
Although it would seem logical to start with the LS7 engine itself for a supercharged 7.0-liter buildup, its hypereutectic (cast) 11:1 pistons would have to be replaced-as would its featherweight titanium connecting rods, which aren't designed to support the expected output of the combination.

While on the outside Tobie Johnson's '66 Nova might just look like a simple stocker with some wheels bolted on, if you looked inside this fabulous Deuce, you'd find the heart of a thoroughbred. D&Z Customs owner Randy Johnson found this Aztec Bronze Chevy II for his wife as an early birthday present. After only a few drives on the stock suspension, Tobie knew changes needed to be made if the Nova was going to live up to her expectations.
Leaving the body unmolested, the first area receiving attention was the front suspension. The '62-'67 Novas are notorious for their lackluster front underpinnings, which is why the aftermarket has released all sorts of bolt-on parts to remedy that problem. Since D&Z had helped Heidts out with the development of its independent rear suspension for second-gen Camaros, Randy decided to stick with Heidts for everything needed in getting the '66 feeling good on the road. Heidts R&D guru Vaughn West got involved shortly after, and the Nova ended up serving as the mule to develop the Pro-G suspension kit for '62-'67 Novas.
The Heidts Pro-G front subframe is loaded with rack-and-pinion steering, optimized geometry short/long control arms, Wilwood six-piston calipers with asymmetrical slotted rotors, and adjustable QA1 coilover shocks. The real beauty is the whole package (once assembled off the car) can be bolted right up in place of the factory suspension. And by eliminating the rear steer layout, installing any engine combo becomes a breeze.
Building on the success and design of the Heidts second-gen Camaro IRS, Heidts used Tobie's shoebox Nova to develop a new IRS kit for '62-'67 Novas. It's based around a 9-inch housing with 3.50 gears and Tru-Trac limited slip, machined steel halfshafts, tubular control arms, and cushioned with QA1 adjustable coilovers.
(For the full, in-depth story on this car, see the November 2012 issue of Super Chevy where it was featured on the cover)
On the Autocross
This quiet, unassuming '66 Nova had me as soon as I touched the door handle. I gotta admit that of all the cars tested that day, this was one of the nicest and most mannerly. Heidts got on people's radar by designing and fabricating some really cool stuff for Pro Touring builds, stuff like independent rear suspensions and cool upgraded front pieces. I've driven a second-gen Camaro with their IRS and loved it. For this year's testing, this Nova sported its version of this same suspension, and I was eagerly anticipating my five trips through the cones.
This Nova wasn't lacking any power either, as it sported a peppy LS1 under the hood. Backed by a beefed up Bowler 700-R4 and most excellent Wilwood stoppers, this car presented itself as a complete package. The more I looked, the more I realized that this wasn't just a car with parts thrown its way, but one where a lot of thought went into the design and execution of its creation.
My unassuming ride came alive rather quickly during the launch off the line and it only got better from there. I found the Nova very easy to position and placement on corner-entry was perfect as I could drive it or slide it; the car didn't care. Apexes flew by and what impressed me most was how confirmed the car was no matter how aggressive I pushed it. This car loved wider, more bending lines, as it allowed the engine to stay in the powerband and I drove it more like a "momentum" car rather than a "point and shoot" one. Under power, the Nova slid around and into the entrance to the slalom and through this five-cone element, it was absolutely perfect.
At the end turnaround, the Wilwood brakes quickly slowed me to entry speed around the short chute and into "The Box" where my 90-degree right was spot on. Continuing to impress, I found the higher-speed sweepers to peg my grin-meter as the IRS let me "steer the rear" with light touches of counter-steer to correct my light throttle imperfections. Flying across the track entering the walloms gave the true test of rotation and predictability, the Nova passed with honors. After my runs, I found out the main ingredient to the excellent balance this car showed … the size of the tires as all four Nitto NT05's were 275/35ZR18's. Those that think bigger is better (especially on the rear), it's not always the case and this suspension proves it. Even with decent ponies and torque, the IRS allowed every bit of power to reach the ground and it accomplished this without our customary 335 steamrollers out back.
I spoke with the Nova's owner and he told me that keeping the car "old school" was always in the forefront behind the build. I loved this car, but one thing I'd change had nothing to do with suspension. The intake had dual throttle bodies and slowing down the opening response would have been preferable to the "on-off" switch felt by my right foot. With the ability to modulate power and tip-in response, I'm positive even better autocross times could be had! A solid thumbs-up for Heidts from me.
On the Street
The ride of this Nova was smooth and comfortable, a marked improvement over stock. A properly designed independent rear suspension supplies the dual benefits of improved ride and cornering prowess and the Heidts IRS in this X-body exhibited both. Neither bumps nor rough railroad crossings nor potholes could upset the little Chevy II. Cornering was tight, smooth, and made me want to push the Nova as hard as I could on the street without getting arrested.
The front suspension was equally as enjoyable, with the perfect feel in the steering system almost to the point the steering wheel felt like a natural extension of my arms. The manual Wilwood brakes performed their usual flawless job (seems like I was writing that about most of our challenge cars!) as I worked my way through traffic and stoplights.
Overall this was a fantastic car to drive, and the thought of cruising something like this on the long haul run of Power Tour or similar cross country excursion really got the blood pumping with excitement. Even more fun would be to take this Nova over to Europe and show them we know how to build IRS-equipped hot rods too. —Patrick Hill

Packard Bell: Packard Bell is a subsidiary of Taiwan-based Acer. It is a name used by two different consumer electronics companies. The first was an American radio manufacturer founded in 1926, that later became a defense contractor and manufacturer of other consumer electronics, such as television sets. Teledyne acquired the business in 1978. In 1986, investors bought the name for a newly formed personal computer manufacturer. Originally the company produced discount computers in the US, later computers were produced for the European market. NEC took it over in the late 1990s. Acer acquired it in 2008. In spite of the similarity of their names, there has never been any corporate connection between the original or later Packard Bell and Hewlett Packard, or Bell System. Packard Bell is an international notebook manufacturer. Many years, the company focussed ruggedized laptops.

Grilling Seafood
The jury may still be out on an official definition of Pacific Northwest cuisine, but most chefs in Oregon and Washington agree that grilled fish and shellfish have been a cornerstone of our region's gastronomy for centuries. Traditional Native American cedar-planked salmon is certainly the Northwest's most famous grilled seafood dish of export, but with easy access to manila clams, Olympia oysters, Dungeness crab and dozens of species of fish trolled from Pacific waters, we've no dearth of other fresh, briny ingredients to throw onto the fire.
Of course, literally throwing any old fish onto hot flames isn't always the best idea. "Every fish is different," says chef Eric Bechard, the seafood guru at Alberta Street Oyster Bar & Grill, who provided us with the grilled seafood menu on the following pages. "With some high-fat fish, like escolar or mackerel, you want to barely cook it. For fish like salmon and snapper, you should leave the skin on. Snapper is more delicate, so you might need to steam it in foil." In other words grilling seafood, just like grilling meat or poultry, should be a nuanced endeavor.

Oh look, a free UFC event. And this one is a doozy.
Let's look at the card. Lot's of potential barnburners, will probably feature a high percentage of finishes. Fights deemed filler will be just c[_] but still could turn out something amazing like TJ Grant vs Evan Dunham did at UFc 152.
Prelims on Facebook
Robert Peralta vs. Jason Young - c[_]
DaMarques Johnson vs. Gunnar Nelson - Nelson has been tearing people's limbs apart into a 9-0-1 record. DaMarques is coming on short notice and clearly violating a 60 days no-contact order since getting KTFO by Mike Swick at the last UFC on FOX card. And that's why this card is in England. Pesky things those athletic comissions. I hope Johnson just gives up an arm if things get heavy.
Brad Tavares vs. Tom Watson - Tom Watson finally makes the jump from BAMMA to the UFC and is placed in the middle of the Facebook card? Why? I don't really know, but Brad is being offered here as a sacrificial lamb for the hometown crowd. Still, he's a hard hitter and if he connects cleanly, it could make Kong's debut a very sad one. Beating a washed up Murilo Rua doesn't automatically make you a UFC caliber fighter.
Akira Corassani vs. Andy Ogle - Oh, look, TUF washouts. c[_]. Akira probably, by KO.
Kyle Kingsbury vs. Jimi Manuwa - Manuwa is 11-0 but I've never seen him fight. Kingsbury is on the verge of getting cut so he'll be doing whatever he can to escape that fate. He has the experience edge, let's just call it a litmus test for Manuwa. If he loses, he has another fight and gets cut by the UFC in short time.
Main Card on FUEL
Duane Ludwig vs. Che Mills - Che Mills last fight was hilarious, seeing how the UFC pushed the narrative that he would be a challenge for Rory Mcdonald. He was smashed into pieces and survived only because Ares decided to be merciful. Now, he gets to fight someone more his speed, Ludwig, a guy who bears the cross of being KTFO by a 0-4 Dan Hardy. Both guys always come to bang so... fun fight, I hope.
John Hathaway vs. John Maguire - Hathaway is one of the top WW prospects but he just can't seem to get himself out there like Rory did. He just keeps getting injured. He has wins over Rick Story and Diego Sanchez, so he's no slouch. Maguire is a caracther but his gameplan is clear: to use his superior grappling to get the nod. Hathaway just has to keep it standing and away from the fence and he's golden and hopefully onto better things than a FUEL card.
Paul Sass vs. Matt Wiman - Sass is basically what Shinya Aoki would look like if white, pastier, and Brittish. Let's see if Wiman's smart enough to keep it standing and put Sass' cardio to the test (almost all his wins are in the first round by crippling submission. And he's also dangerous from his back, so double threat).
Yves Jabouin vs. Brad Pickett - Pickett, because he's awesome. He's got the striking and grappling. Jabouin could try to keep him at range and kick the living daylights out of him but I think One Punch will have him figured out. Also, he holds a win over Mighty Mouse.
Dan Hardy vs. Amir Sadollah - It's a make it or break it moment for both of these guys. Sadollah has been surviving on the goodwill of the UFC brass but he's 6-3 and not fitting into any role other than name value from TUF. Hardy has pictures of one of the Fertitas having sex with an octopus, so he's in the clear even if he loses again. Still, it would be nice to see him prop himself back up again, slowly but surely because, like the main eventers, he either wins surprisingly or gets devasted.
Stipe Miocic vs. Stefan Struve - Struve, like I said above either KO's the other guy after taking a massive beating, submits the other guy because he's one of the few HW with ground game, or gets KTFO into oblivion. Miocic is the second coming of Cro Cop but with wrestling ability. This fight has all the right ingredients and I'm pretty sure it won't last past the 2nd round. And if it those, there will be pints of blood all around the ring.

Something personal to share with you
Today is my mother's birthday. Were she still with us, this would be her 90th birthday.
My sister has posted a beautiful remembrance on her blog, Keeping Me In Stitches. I don't post too much family business here but I think my sister's post warrants an exception to the general rule.
If your mother is still with you: give her a call, send her an email, write her a note or send her a card. She'll be glad you did - and so will you!

Happy 90th Birthday to your Mom. She would be so proud of how you have led your flock through a difficult time. My mother passed away 20 years ago and I still miss her everyday. I am amazed and grateful how present she still is in my life through memories similar to those your sister shared.pam

Physical Therapy Student's Research Puts Her in the Game
As a student in the Department of Physical Therapy, Elana Karkowski-Schelar has had a unique opportunity to participate in advanced research.
By working in the Neuromuscular Control of Movement Laboratory at Saint Louis University with Joanne M. Wagner, Ph.D., PT, ATC, she has gotten a glimpse into the intricacies of high evidence research.
Karkowski-Schelar's experiences have given her exposure to many concepts in physical therapy before learning about them in the classroom setting.
The Neuromuscular Control of Movement Laboratory is currently focused on persons with multiple sclerosis.
While Multiple Sclerosis is a common degenerative neurological disease in adults, there is currently little research to guide a proper physical therapy assessment and treatment of a patient with multiple sclerosis.
Recently, Karkowski-Schelar had the opportunity to present a poster titled, "The relationships between lower extremity strength, walking speed and walking endurance in adults with multiple sclerosis: A preliminary report, Karkowski-Schelar, E.C., Naismith, R.T., Wagner, J.M." at the American Physical Therapy Association Combined Sections meeting in New Orleans.
|Elana Karkowski-Schelar, a Physical Therapy student presents her poster at the American Physical Therapy Association Combined Sections meeting in New Orleans. Submitted photo
The poster was available for viewing by more than 9,000 physical therapists from all over the United States who were in attendance. Karkowski-Schelar and 10 of her classmates who attended the conference had a rare opportunity to hear talks given about the latest and best research being done in all areas of physical therapy. Among the speakers were the authors of many of the text books used in lectures.
In order to prepare for this opportunity, Karkowski-Schelar worked closely with Wagner to develop a research question, identify the appropriate research data to analyze, and perform a statistical analysis of the information.
She decided to look at how knee and ankle strength relate to the walking problems encountered by people with multiple sclerosis.
The preliminary results showed that in these particular participants the plantarflexor muscles, or the muscles that you use to push your gas pedal, have the strongest relationship with a subject's ability to walk fast and to walk longer distances.
This means that that if you can increase the strength of this muscle you might be able to improve a person's ability to walk.
Karkowski-Schelar believes that, "Although at times research feels far from the real world, it takes seeing just one subject who can't go to their child's soccer game -- because they can't walk to the bleachers in the sun without experiencing extreme fatigue -- to realize that it is worth all of the work if you are able to figure out just one thing that might help someone's life be a little better."

NIDILRR Now Part of HHS
NIDILRR Director Issues Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Dear Colleague Letter.
Please read NIDILRR Director Tschida's Dear Colleague Letter on the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) and its impact upon NIDILRR.
President Obama Signs the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act.
The signing of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act creates a blueprint for job growth and makes key improvements to the nation's workforce development system. For the unemployed, the new law offers hope; for the young, it offers encouragement; and for people with disabilities, it brings opportunity. This law helps workers attain the foundation skills necessary for 21st century jobs and fosters a modern workforce that can compete in a global economy. It emphasizes the creation of career pathway programs, improved training, and streamlined service delivery to individuals—especially for underserved youth and adults.
John Tschida is New NIDILRR Director, Effective March 3, 2014.
John Tschida comes to NIDILRR from the Courage Center, which recently merged with Sister Kenny Rehabilitation Institute to form the Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute (CKRI) in Minneapolis, Minn., where he served as vice president for public affairs and research. As a person with a spinal cord injury, he has personal as well as professional experience in issues of disability and access, and his work was deeply rooted in raising public awareness and aligning state law to support people living as independently as possible. Tschida also has served on a number of public and private boards designing policy or governance solutions to further the independence of people with disabilities, and worked closely with the Minnesota Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities. He has written numerous articles on disability, healthcare and public policy for national and local news outlets and magazines.
Mr. Tschida returns to the D.C. area, where he was a Health Policy Research Fellow under the auspices of the National Rehabilitation Hospital's (NRH) Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on Disability and Managed Care funded by NIDILRR (1997-2001). Tschida's fellowship included acquiring his Master in Public Policy (MPP) degree in health policy at Georgetown University Graduate Program in Public Policy and doing his practicum at the NRH Research Center.
Mr. Tschida follows K. Charlie Lakin, Ph.D., as director of NIDILRR. Dr. Lakin served as director from 2011 to February 2014.

NAS Evaluates NIDILRR Grant Processes and Products
The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) evaluates the grant processes and products of the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR). Various formative and summative evaluation approaches have been used to assess the quality of the performance and results of the agency's research portfolio and its grantees. Prompted by the need to provide more data on its program results, in 2009 NIDILRR requested that the National Research Council (NRC) conduct an external evaluation of some of the agency's key processes and assess the quality of outputs produced by NIDILRR grantees.

Department Awards $1.2 million to 11 Small Businesses to Develop Technology for People with Disabilities
The U.S. Department of Education announced today that the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) has awarded 16 grants of $75,000 each to 11 small businesses to conduct research and develop technology that makes life and learning easier for individuals with disabilities.
For instance, one grantee will develop a low-cost computer graphics screen-reader for the vision-impaired; another will develop and evaluate an accident prevention system for manual wheelchairs; and another will design and develop a foot-operated mouse for computers.
"These projects are designed to help people with disabilities maximize their job productivity and economic self-sufficiency," said Alexa Posny, assistant secretary for the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS). "This is the first step of research and development in several areas that will enhance independent living and employment for individuals with disabilities."
For more information, please go to the department's press release.

uTorrent is currently, as we speak, uploading at 980 KB/s - I've set a hard limit of 32 KB/s -_- And do not say I have a setting wrong, I've been working on fixing this for months. It's a bug. I know uTorrent's settings inside and out.
It respects it as well as any other client.. you just need to remember that it only regulates the upload speed of the torrents themselves, it however does not count the normal peer traffic that isn't part of the actual upload..
I've found setting the speed to around 80% of what speed you actually want used works, but that will varry depending on how many active torrents/connections you have.

And yet you have failed to to show the simple graph showing this to us.. Asked for multiple times, showed you mine where it clearly shows my limit, and then what I was uploading. So where is this graph showing your issue.
Have you set to limit overheard, have you set to limit local peer bandwidth? Lets see the graph where you say you have it set to 32k and its uploading at 980 - and then where is it sending that data too?? Simple enough to look on your connected peers to see where all the data is going.
Thought you were going to use 3rd party to limit your speed? Guess that didn't work either?? So if 3rd party didn't work either, what is wrong with your system? Highly doubt some other torrent client is going to work if 3rd party limiting doesn't work, nor does utorrent.

The Drip Store's 53 GPH @ 30 PSI micro sprinklers with 32' diameter are used in an upright position in nursery benches. The recommended spacing and layout for these low application rate micro-sprinklers with a 360-degree large spinner is around 10' to 16' between the micro sprinklers and 12' to 18' between the rows. This micro sprinkler is suitable for all applications in the irrigation of seedlings and germination in benches or rows for nursery applications.
Used in nursery applications and for residential gardens, The Drip Store's line of micro sprinklers with ½" base are simple to install, have efficient uniformity and are very versatile for all applications in the irrigation and germination of bench plantings. Our line of micro sprinklers meets all growers' and users' needs with a wide selection of interchangeable nozzles and spinners used for upright positions.
Using impact sprinklers for nursery benches can produce poor uniformity by throwing away excessive amounts of water in closed areas due to nozzle size and uniformity limitations. High distribution uniformity micro-sprinklers with perfect spinner balance and control of key variables such as pressure and spacing can provide excellent distribution uniformity. High uniformity systems with micro-sprinkler to micro-sprinkler uniformity are specifically designed for a full range of bedding plant applications.
When low volume overhead irrigation is desired for an area where drip emitters are not practical, the micro-sprinklers can throw the water over a wide area and can be used to water with higher efficiency for seedlings, germination and flowerbeds in greenhouses and nurseries. The micro-sprinkler droplets size ranges from small to large droplets and the micro-sprinklers may have a low flow application rate. One of the main features of the micro-sprinkler is that it can prevent plant stress by maintaining low water tension in the soil, using a low flow application rate. An additional feature of a micro-sprinkler system is the range of application rates. Using micro-sprinklers, application rates can vary widely from 0.05 inches/hour and up. Because there is a direct relationship between application rate and irrigation duration, there can also be a range in the duration of an irrigation cycle. For example, 8 minutes is required to apply 0.4 inches of water with an application rate of 3 inches/hour, while 8 hours is needed to apply the same amount at a rate of 0.05 inches/hour. This range of rates is readily available using micro-sprinklers.
Suggested Installation is 12 above ground using 1/2" risers in rectangular spacing.

Norm McKellar Law Offices 3350 Riverwood Pkwy, Suite 1900A Atlanta, GA 30339 (404) 907-3612 Atlanta Tax Attorney KML
Tax problems are varied and involve a number of different issues, so it's critical to have an attorney that knows how to address the specific types of tax problems you may be facing.
My name is Norman D. McKellar, and I handle civil and criminal tax matters nationwide. I am a licensed attorney practicing in Tennessee and Georgia. My peers have voted me a "Top Attorney" for Income Tax and IRS Resolutions in Cityview Magazine. Additionally, I am a member of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Tennessee Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.
Civil Tax Problems
Here is a bit of free advice: If the IRS claims you owe taxes, doing nothing is the worst thing to do.
Most people are worried and confused if they can't pay what they owe the IRS. Because you're reading my website, I know you're not like most taxpayers. You want answers, and just as important, you want to act.
This site won't give you the all the answers to all your questions, but my hope is that it gives you an overview of the services I can provide. When you're prepared to act, call my office at (404) 907-3612 or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com for a FREE consultation.
Remember, your IRS problems won't solve themselves. If you're ready to act, call or email me today.
Criminal Tax Problems
In addition to enforcing civil tax laws, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) can file criminal charges that may lead to conviction, fines, and even imprisonment.
If an IRS Criminal Division Agent contacts you, you should immediately contact an attorney before you communicate any further with the Agent. If you speak with an Agent without counsel present, you may hurt your chances of successfully defending yourself. Unfortunately, many taxpayers end up being their own worst witness.
Norman D. McKellar is such an attorney. He represents the accused nationwide, and he is a member of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.

Sacrifice: Roode vs RVD in a ladder match with the theme Roode will put the belt on the line while RVD will put his body on the line. That has been RVD's reputation throughout his career.

Hello all, Main Event here. I really enjoy blogging, and I'd like to get noticed as as a good blogger around here. In order to get myself more noticed, I'll be producing these every 1-3 days. This will be a series of a fre (or a lot) of parts on how to totally reinvent the WWE in 2012. I'd really enjoy it if you kept a look out for these in the future, as I think I will approach some really interesting
For those of you who read my last/first blog i mentioned that there would be a part two stemming from my initial predictions. After a bit of thought, i decided that i will try my hand at a semi regular blog with my own twist, or gimmick if you will. Il try and discuss a PPV or one of the weekly shows (RAW, Smackdown! and maybe even iMpact.. maybe), looking ahead at the possibilities that could come
Before i get into this i would like to explain a few things about me as a wrestling fan and as a person. I say both but the two are basically one in the same. Ive loved Pro Wrestling since a very early age, my first memory being that of The Million Dollar Man trying to buy off Big John Studd at the 1989 Royal Rumble. In saying that at the time i would have only been 2 years old, but seeing it year

For the outdoor portion of the event, people with CF should maintain a distance of at least 6 feet from each other.
Please note: People with CF and their families should be aware that individuals with CF might choose to attend Foundation events or meetings without notifying event organizers. We strongly discourage this; however, we cannot guarantee that only one person with CF will be present at any indoor Foundation event. For more information, please call your local chapter.

History of Congress and the Capitol
This is the story of one of the world's great experiments in government by the people.
For more than two centuries, a new Congress has convened every two years following elections that determine all the seats in the House and one-third of those in the Senate. While the individuals change, the institution has endured-through civil and world wars, waves of immigration and great migrations, and continuous social and technological change.
After the civil war, the country faced dramatic change as a landscape of farms and villages yielded to factories and sprawling cities. An abundance of labor and plentiful raw materials brought prosperity to many, and the image of the United States as a beacon of freedom and opportunity encouraged immigration from all parts of the world. Many workers, including immigrants, racial minorities, and children, however, often toiled long hours in dangerous conditions for little pay. By the turn of the century, reformers in Congress were pressing for new ways to make government more responsive to the needs of poor farmers, laborers, and urban dwellers.
The People's Platform
In the late 19th century, industrialization and migration from countryside to cities created new groups of Americans, new constituencies. The House gave them a forum. Frequent elections and small districts made the House a place where marginal or regional interests could gain seats and make their voices heard.
In the South, however, "Jim Crow" laws enforced segregation, pushing African-Americans out of the political process. Former rebels easily captured Southern seats.
Later in the century, the House became a national stage for rural Populists. In an era when unregulated development often favored the wealthy, Populists championed farmers and laborers who felt exploited or left behind.
Changing the House
Early in this era, Democrats dominating the House continually battled a Republican president or Senate, making it difficult to achieve results. Outside observers of the House described a legislature that depended too heavily on standing committees—"little legislatures"—to provide direction and get things done. Many observers also concluded that the House was hobbled by outdated rules and procedures. By the end of the period, a series of strong Speakers had helped to streamline operations and shepherd the chamber into the 20th century.
After the Civil War, military conflict turned into political conflict. The Constitution originally had considered a slave only three-fifths of a person when calculating a state's House seats. Now, however, former slaves counted as full citizens, enabling the South to balance the North's rapid population growth. After Reconstruction, Southern states accompanied their return to national politics with a campaign of terror against African-American voters. Democrats, the party favored by white Southerners, gained control of the House. Republicans held the presidency. Partisan rivalry flared.
Many Republicans tried to protect the rights of black voters. Southern Democrats blocked these efforts, repeatedly tacking onto bills an amendment preventing the federal government from getting involved. Republican president Rutherford B. Hayes would then veto the bill. After two years of stalemate, the House Democrats finally abandoned the tactic.
"... a slow-moving giant hulk of a barge ... a form dressed completely in black, out of whose collar rose an enormous round, clean-shaven baby face." A ghost haunting the House? No, that's how a colleague described Representative Thomas Brackett Reed of Maine.
Reed revered the House, dismissing the Senate as "a place where good Representatives go when they die." During the 1880s, he complained about the inability of any House majority to act. But as Speaker, Reed foiled long-established delaying tactics by calmly ruling against members trying to stall the proceedings. Members feared Reed's quick, acid tongue in debate. His rulings once provoked a near riot on the floor, but his efforts made the Speaker once again the House's moving force and allowed the House to act.
"In my opinion there never has been a more perfectly equipped leader in any parliamentary body at any period."
— Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, recalling House Speaker Thomas Reed, 1910
Many members of Congress believe that fewer laws are better. "The country don't need any legislation," was the way the colorful Joseph G. Cannon, Republican of Illinois, put it. Elected Speaker in 1903, "Uncle Joe" Cannon was among the more conservative House members. He wielded his power to stop President Theodore Roosevelt's crusade to regulate business and land use.
As conservative members retired or lost elections, however, Cannon's base of support gradually eroded. Conservative Republican control of the chamber became vulnerable to an alliance of Progressive Republicans and Democrats. In 1910, Nebraska's George W. Norris, one of the Progressive reformers, proposed new rules to curb the Speaker's power—igniting two days of nearly continuous debate. The Progressive–Democrat coalition prevailed, and many hailed Norris's resolution as a return to democracy in the House.
"The country don't need any legislation."
— Speaker Joseph G. Cannon
After the phenomenal industrial growth of the late 1800s, reformers feared that unregulated big business would use its influence for private gain at the expense of public good.
The House, responding to these concerns, established a special investigation panel, headed by Representative Arsene Pujo of Louisiana. It summoned captains of industry and top investment bankers (the so-called Money Trust), parading them before the committee and the press. The hearings exposed corrupt ties between banks and dozens of railroads, manufacturers, and utilities. These findings provided momentum for Congress to pass much-needed reforms, including the Federal Reserve Bank Act of 1913, which created a federally regulated banking system.

In 1999, GM got serious about a factory-backed Corvette racing team. After two seasons of sorting out the new car, the C5-R became a dominant force in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS). The team took the GTS class at Le Mans in 2001 and 2002, with a runner-up finish in 2003. In total, the C5-Rs won First Place in 8 out of 10 races in 2001, 10 out of 11 races in 2002, and 5 out of 10 races in 2003.
The '04 Commemorative Edition Corvette was designed to celebrate the C5-R's success. Unlike the '03 50th Anniversary Edition, this package was available on all '04 Vettes, and it accounted for 20 percent of all sales that year. The price for the coupe and con-vertible package was $3,700, or $4,335 for the Z06. Included was dedicated Le Mans blue paint with silver and red stripes on the hood, roof, and rear deck. Special badges and wheel centers were also included, and the standard Z06 wheels were polished. The Z06 version was the first American production car to use an exterior carbon-fiber body part. Coupes and roadsters received special two-tone shale interiors, while Z06s had all-black interiors. The package included a heads-up display, a power telescoping steering column, auto dimmer mirrors, a memory package, and a twilight sentinel system.
Thanks to the success of the C5-Rs and, later, the C6.Rs, Ron Fellows became a Corvette racing legend. The Canadian driver took two class wins at Le Mans, three ALMS championships, and was voted most popular driver every year from 2004 through 2007. To celebrate Fellows' success, Chevrolet created the '07 Ron Fellows Z06 Special Edition. Only 498 units were built-399 for domestic sales, 33 for Canada, and 66 for the rest of the world. Priced at $77,500 ($11,035 more than the base Z06), this was the most expensive Vette since the '95 ZR-1. Unique to the car were the Arctic White paint and Grand Sport-inspired red front-fender hash marks with subtle Canadian maple-leaf graphics. Sporting a full-width rear spoiler and a unique windshield banner, the car was a real head-turner. Fellows signed every unit, making this the first "signature series" production Corvette ever offered.
For 2008, Chevy offered the 427 Limited Edition Z06. Most obvious with this special edition were its brilliant Crystal Red Tintcoat paint with contrasting, Stinger-inspired black hood stripes; classic 427 badges; and new, "Spider"-styled chrome wheels. Inside the Dark Titanium interior, every console armrest was signed and numbered by retiring Bowling Green plant manager Wil Cooksey. The 3LZ option package included everything but the Bose Navigation System. This car had the brute force to back up its stunning good looks.
Another '08 special-edition Vette could only be rented, albeit for a cost of around $150 per day. A total of 500 ZHZ coupes and roadsters were built that year as part of the Hertz Fun Collection. Thanks to its Velocity Yellow paint; bold, black stripes; rear deck spoiler; and seven-spoke chrome wheels, this car was impossible to miss. Each one came with the paddle-shift six-speed automatic, Magnetic Selective Ride Control System, and Sirius Satellite Radio. Today, used ZHZ cars are not easy to come by.
