Billy Joe Daugherty | WaterBrook Press
God has so much more for our lives than we can imagine. In 360° Life, Billy Joe Daugherty, who died before his book was published, offers God's perspective on how faith can help believers live more richly, deeply and fully.
He offers examples of how ordinary people, facing difficult and seemingly impossible situations, can have life-changing events as a result of simple faith.
When we understand how God sees us, as His child, loved and deserving of the great plan He has for us, we can break free from fear, doubt, rejection and other obstacles.
Daugherty's wife, Sharon, who wrote the epilogue, says: "Billy Joe, a man who kept the faith and finished the race that God set before him, is now face-to-face with his Lord and has that total ... understanding of a life of faith. His legacy of loving Jesus and loving people will live on through this book as people see themselves as God sees them and experience a fulfilling life that really matters."

Karen & I happened to be in Chatswood late on a Thursday night and decided to try our luck. We were told it would be a 10 minute wait but it turned out to be about 2 minutes which was awesome. Walking in, the place looks nothing like the restaurant down the road. It's all black and red, a little too dark for my liking but not uncomfortably so. The girls are still making their dumplings behind a glass window, but now they have seating around that area so people can eat and watch them make dumplings at the same time, which I think is a great idea. There aren't really any single tables, just lots of big communal tables that all the customers share.
Din Tai Fung, and not quite as intensely flavoured as the Shanghai Night ones. But pleasant nonetheless. My main issue is with the spoons they give you. Like some of the other dishes, it is completely impractical. The dumpling hangs over the edges of the spoon and makes it useless for the way that I tend to eat my xiao long bao (dipping in vinegar and then sitting it in the spoon and poking a hole in the skin to let the soup mix with the vinegar).

Cars with electric powertrains have been around for more than 100 years. At the turn of the century, a car buyer had three choices of propulsion system: electric, steam, and internal combustion (IC) engine, of which the IC engine was the least common.
The electric cars appealed to the upper class and the vehicles were finished with fancy interiors and expensive materials. Although they were higher in price than the steam and gasoline-powered vehicles, the wealthy chose the electric car for its quiet and comfortable ride over the vibration, smell and high maintenance of gasoline-powered counterpart. Best of all, the electric vehicle (EV) did not require changing gears. Back then, the knuckle busting, wrist-wrenching chore of shifting gears was the most dreaded task for driving a gasoline-powered car. Nor did the EV need manual cranking to start the motor, a task the upper class did not want to be seen doing. Since the only good roads were in town, the limited range of the EV was no problem, and most of the driving was local commuting. Production of the EV peaked in 1912 and continued until the 1920s.
The battery of choice for the EV was lead acid. For an added fee, the buyer could fit the Detroit Electric with a nickel-iron (NiFe) battery, a technology Thomas Edison promoted. NiFe had a cell voltage of 1.2V, was robust and could endure overcharging and repeated full discharging. Being a good businessman, Edison continued to promote NiFe over lead acid by boasting its good performance at subfreezing and hot temperatures. Then in 1914, a devastating fire destroyed the Edison factory and the popularity for this battery began to decline. On a purely technological level, NiFe provided only a slightly better specific energy to lead acid and was expensive to manufacture. In addition, the battery performed poorly at low temperatures and the self-discharge was 20–40 percent a month, considerably higher than lead acid.
The Detroit Electric, one of the most popular EVs then, was said to get 130km (80 miles) between battery charges. Its top speed was 32km/h (20mph), a pace considered adequate for driving. Physicians and women were the main buyers. Thomas Edison, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. and Clara Ford, the wife of Henry Ford, drove Detroit Electrics. Figure 1 shows Thomas Edison with his 1914 Detroit Electric model.

Henry Ford's mass-production and cost-cutting measures in 1912 were not the only reason for the shift towards gasoline-powered cars. The invention of the starter motor, the need to travel longer distances, and the discovery of Texas crude oil made the IC engine more attractive and affordable to the general public.
The EV became a thing of the past until the early 1990s when the California Air Resources Board (CARB) began pushing for more fuel-efficient and lower-emission vehicles. It was the CARB zero-emission policy that prompted General Motors to produce the EV1. Available for lease between 1996–1999, the EV1 initially ran on an 18kWh lead acid battery. The lead acid was later replaced with a 26kWh NiMH pack. Although the NiMH gave an impressive driving range of 260km (160 miles), the EV1 was not without problems. Manufacturing costs rose to three times the cost of a regular gasoline-powered car, and in 2001 politicians changed the CARB requirements, which prompted General Motors to withdraw the EV1, to the dismay of many owners. The 2006 documentary film Who Killed the Electric Car? gives a mixed impression of government-initiated programs for cleaner transportation.
To match the range of an IC-powered vehicle, the EV needs a battery capable of delivering 25–40kWh. This is twice the battery size of a PHEV and 10 times that of the HEV. The electro-chemical battery is not the only expense added to the EV; the power electronics to manage the battery make up a large part of the vehicle cost. An EV without a battery is roughly the same cost as a traditional gasoline-powered car. Figure 2 shows the battery of the Nissan Leaf as part of the under-chassis installation.
Figure 2: Cutaway battery of Nissan Leaf electric vehicle. The Leaf includes a 24kWh lithium-ion battery with a city driving range of 160km (100 miles). The battery fits under the floor of the car, weighs 272kg (600lb) and is estimated to cost $15,600 (2010).

A valid concern with the EV is the limited driving range, especially in cold and hot weather. Designed to go 160km (100 miles) on a charge, a BMW Mini E traveled about half that distance in cold weather before running out of power. Additional energy is drawn to heat the cabin and battery performance drops in cold temperatures. While thermal technologies are making advances, achieving a comfortable cabin environment remains an issue with most EV designs. To conserve energy, EV drivers use the heat and air-conditioning sparingly and drive in a reasonable manner.
The Mini E takes 6–8 hours to fully charge the battery on a regular 115VAC outlet. High-power outlets (220–240VAC) can reduce the charge time to 3–5 hours, and high-power public fill-up stations can charge a battery in two hours. In most cases it's the available electrical outlet and not the battery that governs charge times. Charging a 40kWh battery in six minutes, as some battery manufacturers might claim possible, would require 400kW of power. An ordinary 115VAC electrical outlet provides only 1.5kW, and a 230VAC, 40A kitchen stove outlet delivers 9kW. (The electric kitchen stove is often the household appliance that draws the most power. It feeds off a 230VAC, 40-ampere circuit.)
Car manufacturer Tesla Motors focuses on building EVs that generate zero emissions with very high performance. Its electric Roadster boasts a zero-to-96km (zero-to-60 mp) acceleration of 3.9 seconds. The 7,000 Li-ion cells store 53kWh of electrical power and deliver a driving range of 320km (200 miles). Liquid cooling prevents the cells from exceeding 35°C (95°F). To achieve the five-year warranty, Tesla charges the Li-cobalt cells to only 4.10V instead of 4.20V/cell. The electronics circuits inhibit charging at freezing temperatures. At $130,000, this car turns heads and becomes a discussion item, however, the $40,000 cost of a replacement battery could cause concern for long-term Tesla owners.
A battery for the electric powertrain currently costs between $1,000 and $1,200 per kWh. According to The Boston Consulting Group (BCG), relief is in sight. BCG claims that the price of Li-ion will fall to $750 per kWh within the next decade. Meanwhile, batteries for consumer electronics are only US$250–400 per kWh. High volume, automated manufacturing, lower safety requirements and shorter calendar life make this low price possible. BCG predicts that Li-ion batteries for the powertrain will eventually match these consumer prices, and the cost of a 15kWh battery will drop to about $6,000 from $16,000.
The largest decrease in battery prices is expected to occur between now and 2020, with a more gradual decline thereafter. According to BCG, the anticipated calendar life of the battery will be 10–15 years. E-One Moli Energy, a manufacturer of lithium-ion cells for power tools and electric vehicles, points out that the cost of Li-ion can be reduced to $400 per kWh in high volume, however, the peripheral electronics managing the battery, including heating and cooling, will remain high, essentially doubling the price of a pack. Reductions are also possible here, and E-One Moli Energy predicts that the electronics will only make up 20 percent of the cost of an EV battery in five years. These forecasts are speculative, and other analysts express concern that the carmakers may not be able to achieve the long-term cost target without a major breakthrough in battery technology. They say that the current battery cost is 3 to 5 times too high to appeal to the consumer market.
On the surface, driving on electricity is cheaper than burning gasoline but today's low fuel prices, uncertainty about the battery's service life, along with unknown abuse tolerances and high replacement costs, will reduce the incentive for buyers to switch from a proven concept to an electric vehicle. If a driver wants the 500km range between fill-ups that is achievable with a gasoline-powered car,the battery would need a capacity of 75kWh according toTechnology Roadmaps Electric and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (EV/PHEV). At an estimated $400 price tag per kWh, such a battery would cost over $30,000 and weigh nearly a ton.
Technology Roadmap compares the energy consumption and cost of gasoline versus electric propulsion as follows: An EV requires between 150 and 200Wh per km depending on speed and terrain. At a consumption of 200Wh/km and an electricity price of $0.15 per kWh, the energy cost to drive an EV translates to $0.03 per km. This compares to $0.06 per km for an equal-size gasoline-powered car and $0.05 per km for diesel. The price estimations exclude equipment costs, service and eventual replacement of the battery and IC engine.
To prepare for the EV market, researchers and battery manufacturers have invested significant resources to develop better battery technologies, and many are taking advantage of generous government incentives. But there is a danger. For the sake of optimal specific energy, some start-up companies are experimenting with aggressive design concepts using volatile chemicals that compromise safety. They may push the envelope by announcing impressive advances, emphasizing only the pros and squelching the cons. Such behavior will get media attention and entice venture capitalists to invest, however, hype contributes little in finding a solution that will improve existing battery technologies.
The battery will determine the success of the EV, and until improvements are achieved in terms of higher specific energy, longer service life and lower cost, the electric powertrain may be limited to a niche market. While governments spend large sums in the hope of improving current battery technologies, we must realize that the electrochemical battery has limitations. This was made evident when motorists tested eight current and future models with electric powertrains and attained driving ranges that were one-third less than estimated. Table 3 lists a rundown of range and charge times. The electric cars were tested in real-life conditions on highways, over mountain passes and under winter conditions in 2010.

Table 3: Electric vehicles with battery type and driving range (2010)
The travel distance is less than advertised; battery aging will shorten the range further.
To make the electric vehicle affordable in the near future, early models will need to be light and restricted to short driving distances of 160km (100 miles) or less. Battery weight and cost will set these limitations. The successful EV will likely be a subcompact commuter car owned by drivers who adhere to a tightly regimented driving routine and follow disciplined recharging schedules. If the battery delivers as promised, these drivers will indeed realize cost savings and reduce greenhouse gases. Another benefit is reduced noise on city streets.
The environmental benefit of driving an EV is limited unless renewable resources provide electricity to charge the batteries. Burning coal and fossil fuel to generate electricity simply shifts pollution out of congested cities to the countryside. The electricity in the USA is being generated by burning coal (50%), natural gas (20%) and nuclear (20%). Renewable resources to generate electricity are hydro (8%) and solar and wind (2%). One of the advantages of the EV is that it can be charged at night when the power grid has extra capacity.
Going electric may also beg the question, "Without fuel tax revenue, who will pay for road construction and maintenance?" Roads cost governments billions to build and repair, and EV drivers are entitled to use them virtually for free. Higher taxes would eventually need to cover these expenses. This poses an unfair burden for commuters using public transportation. They pay double: the tax to pay for highways and the fare for the train.
The high cost of the EV against the lure of cheap and readily available fossil fuel will make the transition to a cleaner way of living difficult. Government subsidies may be needed to make "green" cars affordable to the masses. Many argue, however, that this handout of public money is unfair and suggest that the tax dollars should go to building more efficient public transportation systems.
The goal of governments should be to limit the number of cars on roads by offering different modes of transportation. Commuter trains are one of the most efficient ways of moving people comfortably and fast. Changing the focus away from cars and highways would, for the first time in 100 years, hand the cities back to the people who are the rightful owners. Such a change in direction would make our dwelling places more enjoyable, and future generations would thank their forefathers for the prudent planning. It's worth noting that some of the most desirable cities were built before the invention of the car. Designers had the movement of people in mind. This, I believe, was done more out of necessity than foresight. Europe is leading in the list of the most desirable and livable cities; North America trails behind.

An excellent overview free of hype and bias.I have owned an electric scooter for 3 years and it has been a steep learning curve including many times being stuck in the countryside looking for a friendly power point! I totally agree the application is limited to regular short trips well within the real range of the batteries.
The crowd who came to see Rolls-Royce's Phantom, which was on display at the Geneva Motor show were in for a surprise to find batteries and electric motors under the bonnet, in the place of a well polished. These electric devices were used to run the 2.5 tone giant. This was just one of the many concept-cars that were present at the motor show. It just goes to show how sensitive the top guns in the industry are, to their contribution to global warming. Lesser luxurious models like Lexus (Toyota's luxury brand) displayed seven units of gas-electric hybrid models for the motor show. While many other famous brands like Porsche, Land Rover, BMW and Mercedes too had variants of the hybrid on the show, what took the crowd by surprise was that the most affluent car brand in the world has started adopting go green philosophy.This is much related into this kind of review.
All vehicles require fuel. Surely the objective should be to find a way of maximizing the most efficient use of fuel, while at the same time minimizing the adverse effect on the environment? Whether this can be achieved by IC powered vehicles, hybrid or pure electric is immaterial.
Batteries can be very useful in some applications and absolutely useless in others. When ingenious people have tried as hard and as long as they have and the batteries still don't give the required range, it is safe to assume they are not going to do so for quite a long time to come.
There are diesel-electric trains and diesel-electric ships. Why not diesel-electric automobiles and trucks. Not talking about hybrid.
Internal combustion engines are very inefficient when used over a relatively wide speed range. They become surprisingly efficient when run at constant speed, optimum horsepower. Easier to make totally silent, free of resonance and vibration.
Electric motors are generally super-efficient right down to relatively slow speeds.
The latest lead-acid batteries that are part battery, part super-capacitor are suitable for intermittent very high charge / discharge duty. They cost 10% of the price of lithium.
So the way to go is surely to have an IC engine that is run at a fixed speed, to charge the battery, when needed? Have a battery and electric motor(s) as high efficiency, infinitely variable speed transmission?
The vehicle becomes an electric with a thousand mile range. Get in, simply drive on battery. When the battery drops to 20% state-of-charge, the IC engine kicks in, tops the battery to 80% and stops. These are ballpark figures. The driver can modify to suit requirements. Peak horsepower delivered by electric motors, therefore IC engine needs to be rated at only 50%.
Quite a few shorter trips become pure electric. To plug in or not becomes optional. To use liquid fuel or not becomes optional.
Great articles, thank you CADEX, I like to study the periodic table, I read about one element every night, from the information that I read, there are alot of mines that have already closed ( cost vs. what actually is left to be had in the mine) and the mines that are still running may run out in five to 30 years, some predict there's just not enough of the certain metals needed for batteries to do a large changeover to electric cars. Of course new discoveries happen all over the world so this could change, fossil fuels nobody is really telling the truth of whats left underground, it's to their advantage for controling what ever thier motives are for the day. The earth, and I can't tell you where I read this but, fossil fuel maybe somthing the earth makes all the time and it's not going to run dry! anyways my point is, there maybe a limit to the metals available for producing huge quantites of all types of batteries in the future, recycling is a must! P.S. did you know there's a way to use magnesium as a fuel? and after it's used it turns into magnesium oxide, which can be turned back into magnesium with a solar pumped laser! we have many roads for energy to travel, lets do what we can with batteries and IC engines, and countinue to look at new sources of energy.
Pure battery suffers from an inherent problem that cannot be engineered away. Let's for argument's sake make an educated guess. The price of an advanced, pure electric, high performance battery: $15,000. Clever marketing people have long worked out that in order to get cars out of the showrooms, they can explain that the battery can be leased, thus averaging out the cost of the battery over X number of years.
The second hand car trade knows from very long experience how people, who trade in their cars, go about disguising problems. When the pure battery electrics start coming in, it will automatically be assumed the battery is about to collapse. The trade-in offer will be small change only because a new $15,000 battery will have to be fitted. This is a battery seller's dream come true. Leases will now cost much more. Discounts will have dried up. Subsidies will have vanished.
It is difficult to see how this commercial problem can be overcome.
If Oxidized Magnesium can be converted by sun (or other clean energy source) back to its metal state, then using Magnesium in the equation as Edward Suchon suggests may be a viable solution.
Magnesium could be used to extract Hydrogen from water to be used as a 100% clean fuel for an I.C. engine. Refueling would consist of trading in the Oxidized Magnesium for its metal counterpart and tanking up with water. There will be the challenge of safety issues but it should be possible to overcome them.
Andries Pienaar - Human beings have a tendency to synchronize their thinking. If the alternative fuel concepts that have been tried over and over and over in the past include the use of (1) batteries, (2) electric motors in parallel with IC engines and (3) hydrogen, the overwhelming majority of new ideas will focus on the use of variation of concepts 1, 2 and 3 and go absolutely nowhere.
Put 100 scientists and 100 lawyers in a big room and tell them they cannot come out until they can demonstrate that hydrogen can be made perfectly safe, they will do so. Put another 100 scientists and 100 lawyers in another big room, tell them they must prove hydrogen unsafe, they will do so.
One must always go back to basics and ask, what is the real objective? In the case of automobile transportation, surely it is minimum cost, maximum convenience, maximum performance, maximum energy conversion efficiency, maximum safety - in that order, if the concept is to enjoy universal acceptance?
I think a highly refined, constant speed IC engine that runs on hydrocarbon fuel, (easy to refuel, 100 year safety record), driving by a potent electric motor, via a battery-electric transmission, can do it better than any other technology.
If the space shuttle Challenger had been fueled by kerosene and oxygen, instead of hydrogen and oxygen, the astronauts would have been shaken but not stirred.
Am a profession in engineree electrician "
i want to be employed
I want to know why battery need charge for electric car batteries.
i accepted for ignition starting purpose .
Car will be stop duriong drive condition. due to low charge of battery.
Why cont charge the battery during vehicle run time with alternator.
Lets start out with the fact that many people ride Bikes on the Roads with out paying tax to use them, people walk on the road ways with our tax to walk on them, and given the fact that an electric car will bring in more tax money when sold as the cost of the ev is much grater the state does get more tax dollars. Given the fact that ev cars are much lighter than most cars and suv's and trucks they much less damage to roads if any.
The fair way to tax all cars and trucks is that the sales tax at time of sale is use for road repair and not put into a general fund. I will use a 90% goes to the state, 10% to feds.
it is not the ev that are a problem it is the way the goverment uses the money that is waisted on projects that are not road related.
Question your self how much damage does a motorcycle do to the roads? yet they pay the same for driving on the roads as a truck does, unfair sure. Blame the way we tax not the ev's cars,trucks, bikes, motrocycles or your shoe's
Steve - What you are effectively saying is that very expensive, compact, composite bodied, limited production electric cars are lighter than conventional cars. The Tesla weighs nearly 3000 pounds. You need to compare like with like. The authorities charge less for motor cycle plates than for truck. Toll roads I've been on charge far less for motor cycles than trucks. Trying to understand your point.
John, Toll roads are not what we are talking about. We were talking about Fuel tax,
Sales Tax and how the money is or is not spend on keeping up the roads.
Steve - The regulations vary from territory to territory, country to country. Governments that tax fuel heavily, slap on massive sales taxes, are put into power by the majority of the voters. That is where the problem originates.
John, I enjoy reading your comments. I remember reading about your best solution, IC engine running a generator, which runs an electric motor which drives the car. I guess that is more efficient than the engine driving the car, although strangely it doesn't sound like it with all the efficiency losses because of the chain of events.
Surprisingly I first read of this idea in the mid-1950s. I think it was in Popular Mechanics. It seems old ideas are now making a comeback.
A potential EV customer has to decide what range he really needs. A lot of families have two vehicles,so regular journeys can be made with the EV, and long journeys with the
David - Most driving is done in gridlocked city traffic. Add up the time spent in stop-start driving and compare this to the time spent driving at a reasonable steady speed. An IC engine that is transmitting power through a transmission that absolutely has to slip in order to allow the car to crawl, and that is forced to suck air in via a tiny aperture and to operate at very low combustion pressure, plus all the repeated braking, is probably converting 99% of the energy of the fuel into heat. A battery-electric motor combination is reasonably efficient under such conditions.
Automobile manufacturers are marketing mostly top-end battery electric vehicles. However, battery-electric is practical only as a second car. Automobile manufacturers can't make battery-electric at the price that would work as a second vehicle AND make a profit. Elon Musk has just figured this out. So now he is trying to sell home batteries. He has a tiger by the tail.
Put in a constant speed, extra high efficiency IC power unit and all the problems disappear.

"People don't know what they don't know until they don't know it," says Det. Michael Fazio of the Bloomington (Ill.) Police Department's cybercrime unit.
He speaks from experience. About eight years ago, the 150-man department found itself facing a homicide it couldn't solve because the evidence and the suspect's alibi resided on a computer.
"At that time we knew enough to go get the computer. However, we didn't know what to do with it," Fazio recalls.
Three regional labs in the state could analyze the evidence but estimated it would take two years. Investigators finally called the U.S. Attorney's Office for help and had the computer analyzed more quickly to disprove the suspect's alibi.
In an effort to prevent this situation from happening again, the city manager and Bloomington PD put money and time behind developing an internal digital forensics unit.
Fazio predicts there are many departments operating as the Bloomington PD did before 2004, and that worries him. "A lot of departments don't even realize they have an issue," he says. "About 80% of everything a person deals with touches something digital. And, if the individual is touching something digital, he or she is leaving evidence behind."
But as troubled economic conditions dramatically slash police budgets and reduce officer counts, it is difficult for many departments to justify putting financial muscle behind digital forensics.
There is some good news in all of this-a light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak. "A lot of digital crime scenes are turning into portable devices, aka cell phones. The tools needed to retrieve data from those devices are not as expensive as what's used in traditional computer forensics. And 70% of the time data can be retrieved from them by someone with minimal training," says Tom Eskridge, partner at High Tech Crime Institute Group, a Florida company devoted to providing cybercrime training to law enforcement.
Triage Is Where It's At
In 1999, the FBI proclaimed it would handle the entire country's digital forensics needs and set up regional computer forensics labs (RCFLs) across the country. These labs extract and analyze data from any kind of digital evidence, but the demand is high and the turnaround slow.
"The average turnaround time for a computer is 13 months," says Eskridge, who calls the current system, where agencies send out digital evidence for processing, broken. "It's like everyone with a paper cut going to see a trauma surgeon," he says. "We have to start triaging digital evidence if we are going to be successful."

US Intervention Policy and Army Innovation
From Vietnam to Iraq
By Richard Lock-Pullan
Routledge – 2004 – 304 pages
Series: Strategy and History
Routledge – 2004 – 304 pages
Series: Strategy and History
US Intervention Policy and Army Innovation examines how the US Army rebuilt itself after the Vietnam War and how this has affected US intervention policy, from the victory of the Gulf War to the failure of Somalia, the Bosnian and Kosovo interventions and the use of force post 9/11.
Richard Lock-Pullan analyzes the changes in US military intervention strategy by examining two separate issues: the nature of the US Army as it rebuilt itself after the Vietnam War, and the attempts by the US to establish criteria for future military interventions. He first argues that US strategy traditionally relied upon national mobilization to co-ordinate political aims and military means; he subsequently analyzes how this changed to a formula of establishing militarily achievable political objectives prior to the use of force. Drawing on a vast body of material and on strategic culture and military innovation literature, Lock-Pullan demonstrates that the strategic lessons were a product of the rebuilding of the Army's identity as it became a professional all-volunteer force and that the Army's new doctrine developed a new 'way of war' for the nation, embodied in the AirLand Battle doctrine, which changed the approach to strategy.
This book finally gives a practical analysis of how the interventions in Panama and the Gulf War vindicated this approach and brought a revived confidence in the use of force while more recent campaigns in Somalia, Kosovo and Bosnia exposed its weaknesses and the limiting nature of the Army's thinking. The legacy of the Army's innovation is examined in the new strategic environment post 9/11 with the operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.
"The failure of the US to win the Vietnam War represented a case of failure to match policy aims and military means, a classic problem of strategy, argues Lock-Pullan. He reviews how the US Army sought to reformulate its strategic role in US intervention policy, resulting in the formulation of the AirLand Battle doctrine, formally accepted by the executive as the Weinberger doctrine. He discusses how the Panama invasion and the first Gulf War were viewed as vindications of the doctrine, examines its up and down fortunes during the Clinton years, and considers how it has influenced the US conduct of the "War on Terror."" --Reference & Research Book News

With the recent tragedy that hit the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, many people have been left wondering what they can do to help. Thankfully, there is an easy way to show the support so greatly needed for the teachers, parents, and children affected by this devastating event, and it begins with a simple snowflake. On Thursday, January 3, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Mo'oheau Bandstand in Downtown Hilo, the Big Island community is invited to join together for the "Make a Snow Flake Day" event, open to everyone. Aside from this event, homemade snowflakes can also be dropped off at the Eighty-Two Creations store, located at 82 Ponahawai Street in Hilo, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, between December 22 to January 5. With the help of several invaluable community members and The Connections Public Charter School PTSO, this Sandy Hook snowflake drive has been made possible.

Rainbow Trout
This popular freshwater fish is not only tasty but beautiful, with silver skin flecked with bright blue, green and pink highlights.
It has an oil-rich flesh and an earthy taste which pairs well with strong flavours such as lemon juice, garden herbs and butter.
Fish Farming
Rainbow trout is the most popular farmed species of trout. Many people believe that buying farmed fish is more sustainable than wild caught, however this is often not the case.
Feed for carnivorous fish such as trout and salmon comprises of wild, unsustainably sourced, smaller fish and it takes a greater weight of wild caught fish to feed the trout/salmon than the end weight of the farmed fish.
However, if you buy organically farmed trout or salmon fish stocking densities are generally lower in comparison to non-organic farms, feed is sourced sustainably and welfare for the animals is of a high standard.
Look for rainbow trout which has been farmed in ponds and raceways; these get a rating of 1 on the MCS sustainable scale meaning it is a very sustainable production method!

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsHow To Engine
1991 Ford Mustang X302 Crate Engine Install - Uncrate & Barrel - Ford Racing X302 Install
Dropping In An X302 Crate Engine Gets An Old Fox Up To Speed
Note: Stock baseline set with 10 degrees ignition timing and underdrive pulleys. The X302 figures reflect 13 degrees ignition timing and stock pulleys. Stock torque would improve with more timing; X302 power would gain with underdrive pulleys.
Transmission Upgrade
Because our '91's T-5 gearbox had 198,000 miles on it and was making increasingly more gear whine, we installed Ford Racing's M-7003-Z transmission as a replacement. This is the world-class version of the venerable T-5, a transmission we've come to love for its light shifting and minimal weight.
Compared to our tired stocker, the M-7003-Z features upgraded synchronizers and bearings; a steel input bearing retainer; more torque capacity at 330 lb-ft; a short-throw shifter (not too short and fun to shift); double-moly second, third, and countershaft cluster gears; carbon-fiber third/fourth blocker rings; and a Cobra-style pocket bearing. The rest is compatible with the stock trans, with a 28-spline output shaft and seven-tooth speedometer drive gear, so it bolts right in.
|T-5 Gear Ratios
|Stock '91
|0.68 (0.675)
As the chart shows, the gear ratios are slightly different. Clearly the taller first gear combined with our crate engine's lower off-idle torque, choppy idle and stock 3.08 rear axle gears means starting from a dead stop is something of a small event, requiring a touch of technique. We stalled the engine numerous times until we ingrained the slight rpm increase and clutch slip required; now it's second nature. Curiously we find the taller first gear handier in parking lots, on super bumpy roads, and so on, but maybe not as brainless in crawling stop-and-go traffic.
Another consideration is speedometer error. Of course, we can ignore the First gear speedo error, Second and Third are close enough to not count, Fourth is identical, leaving only Fifth as an issue which we're probably just going to live with. In the real world, the speedometer is "slow" by about 6 mph at 70 mph in our pacing tests, so we remind ourselves we're going faster than indicated on the freeway. Ssadly, the odometer no longer reflects the exact mileage, but it's close enough for maintenance work.
What is to like about the ratios is the slightly taller Fifth gear makes flying along with the reality of 80-mph freeway traffic easier, plus it's beneficial for fuel economy at less frenetic cruise speeds. What was unexpected on the freeway-and has nothing to do with such minimal gear changes-is the noise level of the exhaust. The only new exhaust bits are the short-tube headers; the sound quality is the same-there's just a bunch more of it.

GREG LEYH spends his daylight hours at one of the world's top particle smashers, helping to coax matter and antimatter particles to fly in orderly lines at just a whisker off the speed of light. By night, he likes to generate lightning bolts, the bigger the better. With giant coils charged up to millions of volts, he rips the night air apart with dazzling forks of light - for no other reason, really, than the pure drama of it all.
Watching lightning crackle out from the coils is "a very spinal experience", Leyh says. "Many people describe it as primal," he says. "When it first starts, it's more visually alluring than anything else, then the arcs grow bigger and bigger, reaching out and striking like a snake. And then, somehow, it turns from allure to fear."

The Basketball
In early December 1891, Canadian American Dr. James Naismith,[2] a physical education professor and instructor at the International Young Men's Christian Association Training School[3] (YMCA) (today, Springfield College) in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA), was trying to keep his gym class active on a rainy day. He sought a vigorous indoor game to keep his students occupied and at proper levels of fitness during the long New England winters. After rejecting other ideas as either too rough or poorly suited to walled-in gymnasiums, he wrote the basic rules and nailed a peach basket onto a 10-foot (3.05 m) elevated track. In contrast with modern basketball nets, this peach basket retained its bottom, and balls had to be retrieved manually after each "basket" or point scored; this proved inefficient, however, so the bottom of the basket was removed,[4] allowing the balls to be poked out with a long doweleach time.
Basketball was originally played with a soccer ball. The first balls made specifically for basketball were brown, and it was only in the late 1950s that Tony Hinkle, searching for a ball that would be more visible to players and spectators alike, introduced the orange ball that is now in common use. Dribbling was not part of the original game except for the "bounce pass" to teammates. Passing the ball was the primary means of ball movement. Dribbling was eventually intr
oduced but limited by the asymmetric shape of early balls. Dribbling only became a major part of the game around the 1950s, as manufacturing improved the ball shape.
The peach baskets were used until 1906 when they were finally replaced by metal hoops with backboards. A further change was soon made, so the ball merely passed through. Whenever a person got the ball in the basket, his team would gain a point. Whichever team got the most points won the game.[5]The baskets were originally nailed to the mezzanine balcony of the playing court, but this proved impractical when spectators on the balcony began to interfere with shots. The backboard was introduced to prevent this interference; it had the additional effect of allowing rebound shots.[6] Naismith's handwritten diaries, discovered by his granddaughter in early 2006, indicate that he was nervous about the new game he had invented, which incorporated rules from a children's game called "Duck on a Rock", as many had failed b ...

Aluminum Repair Rod Reviews?
So here goes, I'm sure you've all seen the infomercials where someone uses a propane torch and some special rod and basically solders aluminum together, miracle aluminum repair where its stronger than aluminum.
Have any of you tried any of the products, and if so would you recommend them?
I've seen quite a few which mostly seem to be the same stuff, Alumi-weld, Alumarod, Durafix, Muggy weld alloy 1 + 5, Alumi-pro, kirkweld, HTS-2000, and I'm sure the list goes on, ranging from 15-60 bucks a pound.
Do any of these work, and would you use them on non-critical applications such as, fixing boat leaks in a cheap old aluminum boat, adding simple brackets to aluminum bike frames, repairing dinged portions of outboard lower units. These sorts of odd jobs that are difficult to accomplish with welders due to the configuration and disassembly required.
Click here and see if it helps.
Youtube is great. People post how to do anything, welding, carbon fiber fabrication...
Been watching some of those already, guess its hard to know who just doesn't know how to use it, and who is selling it.
I do plan on picking those up to test tomorrow. Part of the reason to want to know if some are better/worse.
They are Zinc based rods that melt at 700* instead of 1200 for Al. I got some from True Value, marketed as Oxy-Acetylene Aluminum Welding rods. I'd hoped they'd be better than the Alumiweld and Duraweld stuff everyone hates. They're not.
They don't stick to anything. They melt, ball up into spheres, and roll off whatever you were trying to repair. And if you actually TRY to use then with an oxy-acetylene torch, they'll not only still not work, but you'll also probably ruin whatever you were repairing even more.
I saw some Aluminum Solder at ACE hardware a while ago which looks a lot more promising. I can't remember what it was called, but it was a very small spool of fluxed wire with a melting point of around 1100 degrees. Expensive, but worth if it works.
I've also tried brazing with an oxy-propane torch with TIG rods. Didn't work very well either, but without using any flux I didn't expect it to.
i've been curious about that stuff myself, but thinking about how much heat you have to get into aluminum to be able to tig weld it, i doubt that a solder would actually adhere 2 parts together.
i used alumalloy rod yesterday to fix a crack in a swingarm (not a load bearing part of swingarm..) - worked fine - we'll see if it holds up in a bout a week,. you need mapp gas or hotter (propane won't work on anything thicker than pop can.) area must be clean. you need lotsa heat. it's just like soldering..only much much hotter.
Heat shouldn't be an issue, I have propane, mapp, and oxy-acetelene torches.
What part of a swing arm is non-load bearing?
I used a kit to make some brackets and stuff.
They held together for as long as I had the bike after ( bout a year or so )
What I did like it for was for making thread in alloy .To over drill the hole fill in with weld and tap into it. Made a stronger thread.
But I didn't use it for load bearing.
BPG I think it would be grand for any of that stuff
I cant lay my hands on the instructions but it did make special mention of castings ( think it was about heating the metal )
Good point, although the boat in question gets dragged up on shore and is really a POS that accumulates quite a bit of water. SO I'd think anything would be better than nothing in this situation.
Except when heat is an issue, I can't see any application where this would be better than JB Weld.
And High Temp epoxy almost reaches the same temperature as these zinc rods.
Don't waste
your time people. Surely, everyone knows a weldor....
I used some that I picked up at a hot rod swap meet back around 2002. I shaped a license plate/turn signal bracket for my old Ducati M900 to clean up the tail where a PO had done the usual frame chop. The bracket was street sign stock (salvaged legally from the trash where I worked at the time) and I used the rod to seal up and smooth the open seams after bending into shape. Worked very well and was still crack free when I sold the bike some 6 or 7 years later.
Propane worked fine for the 1/8" sign stock. When I watched the live demonstration and in the instructions it says no OA - too hot and the parent metal aluminum will immediately react with the filler if it reaches the melt point. Which aluminum does without much warning, even when wearing high zoot cobalt goggles to see the puddle better through the OA flame.
If the filler is puddling and balling up, the parent metal is not clean enough. Clean it bright first with sand paper or a clean stainless brush that hasn't been used on anything else and acetone for complete degreasing. Clean it right before working it to avoid oxides forming (which starts as soon as you're finished cleaning). While heating and trying to get the filler rod to melt and stick, you can use a clean, new stainless brush to scrub the area as you are heating it to keep it frmo oxidizing. That was the trick the vendor was using during his demos. Worked for me too.
After I filled the seams and sanded the outsides to a smooth radius the seams were invisible.

Last week after WWDC 09, many people who brought in the new Apple MacBook and MacBook Pro's were in for a shock when they saw that the Apple OS X showed the SATA data transfer speed limited to 1.5Gbps. Over the last week all the forums were buzzing whether Apple intentionally limited the SATA interface speed limit to 1.5Gbps. While its true that there is currently no HDD available in the market which can saturate the SATA I interface bandwith, it is also true that many of the newer SSD's are bottlenecked when used with the SATA I interface.Read More

London attractions: Enjoy the Benjamin Franklin House when in the capital
Published: Thursday 22nd of November 2012
London is full of historical attractions for visitors to enjoy and one of the most popular is Benjamin Franklin House.
As one may expect, it is the historic residence used by Mr Franklin, one of the Founding Fathers of America, and can be found just a short walk away from the bustling Trafalgar Square, on Craven Street.
The building dates back to 1730 with Mr Franklin living there for a period of 18 years, between 1757 and 1775, during which he managed to pack a loads of work in.
Specifically, he was involved in a great deal of mediation and discussions between America and Britain while he also got on with a number of his pioneering scientific studies.
It is now the base for a student science centre and stands as the only remaining residence ever used by the great man himself.
Tours of the building last for approximately one hour and cover three floors of the 18th century building.
