Q. Why should I bring my child who is only six weeks old to a music class? What will they get out of it at that young of an age?
A. Children respond to music at a very young age. Studies have shown that exposure to music at an early age increases brain development, which can lead to an overall improvement in cognitive functions beginning from birth throughout childhood. Also, music activities in group settings help children of all ages develop social and interactive skills by sharing the activity with other children around them. Our Early Childhood Music classes are a great way to bond with your baby, learn songs and games and connect with other parents.
Q. Is MacPhail only for serious music students?
A. No. Our students have musical interests at all levels. We have young beginners playing their first notes, teens joining a rock band and adults taking time just for themselves. While we do support conservatory-bound students and pre-professional musicians, the one thing all MacPhail students share is a love of music. We take the time to find out what you want your musical experience to be, then match the teacher that fits your style.

Orchids & Onions
Little projects make big impact in annual design judging
In fact only two Onion recipients were brave enough to appear — San Diego Planning Director Bill Anderson for the city's interim height ordinance in Hillcrest (the jury thought comprehensive planning was needed instead, a step Anderson said is in the works), and San Diego Gas & Electric's Chip Fox for nondescript utility boxes, which the jury said should be redesigned to beautify neighborhoods. Architect Graham Downes accepted the Onions on the behalf of the no-shows and offered mock apologies or defenses.
Juror Russ Haley, vice president of CityMark Development, which specializes in infill condo projects, suggested the problem with Vantage Pointe was not ineffective city design policies but a failure to achieve greatness by the Canadian builder and its architects, SR Architecture, both from Calgary, Alberta.
"The reality is if you have an Onion, you can't hide behind city ordinances," Haley said. "Sometimes they can hurt the project but at the end of the day, it is up to the developer and the design team to come up with the best project possible."
City redevelopment officials said the project will relate better to pedestrians when ground-floor retail spaces are filled.
Bucking the jury's antipathy to big projects, the People's Choice Orchid Award went to the ResMed corporate headquarters in Serra Mesa. The People's Choice Onion went to the proposed Jamul Casino, the result, the O&O committee suspected, of a campaign by neighbors who don't want the project.

Here's a list of winners, with excerpts of the jury's comments. The two People's Choice Awards were chosen by an online public vote from among 18 projects nominated by the Orchids & Onions Committee. For more details, go to orchidsandonions.org .
The Station Tavern & Burgers, 2204 Fern St., South Park: Sam Chammas, owner; Lloyd Russell, architect. "It's possible to see history can be integrated and strategies can be created that are nimble enough to make architecture on a small budget and without predetermined forms."
Vantage Pointe condo tower, 1281 Ninth Ave., downtown San Diego: Pointe of View Development, developer and S2 Architecture, both of Calgary, Alberta. "A severe disservice to the city life where it meets the street."
ResMed corporate headquarters, 9001 Spectrum Center Blvd., Serra Mesa: ResMed, developer; KMA Architecture and Engineering and Davis Davis Architects. "A wealth of materials, forms and architectural eye candy that makes visitors want a second look."
Jamul hotel and casino (proposed), 14191 Highway 94, Jamul: Jamul Indian Village and Lakes Entertainment, developers; Urban Design Group, architect. "It seems a few more San Diegans care to partake in this heated debate."

NEW Virut strain (carries no payload?)
Hello All:
Just ran into a (new to me) Virut strain that appears to be selective in what files it chooses to infect. Like the other Virut strains, this one is an active file infector....but appears to be selective in what files it infects.
As an example: Older strains (poorly written) would just mass infect all .EXE .SCR and .HTML files it could touch. An entry with a .PL site would be added to the HOSTS file.
As the Explorer.exe file (and other) OS files became rapidly infected, it was pretty easy to figure out you had acquired a Virut infection. This new beast, however, seems to be a bit smarter. It only seems to target some OS files (not all) and does not add a payload to the existing file, increasing it's size (a sure indicator of infection)The tell tale .PL site was still added to the HOSTS file as well.
Since I just ran into this today, I expect we will see more of it soon. ;(
As soon as I can isolate it and upload samples I will do so

DATE & TIME: Saturday, February 16, 9 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Coors Events Center (11,064) -- Boulder, Colorado.
Television: ESPNU. Home Record: ASU 14-3, Colorado 10-1. Away Record: ASU
3-3, Colorado 4-6. Neutral Record: ASU 1-1, Colorado 3-0. Conference Record:
ASU 7-5, Colorado 7-5. Series Record: Colorado leads, 4-3.
GAMES NOTES: Riding a wave of momentum back into contention, the Colorado
Buffaloes will hook up with the Arizona State Sun Devils in a critical Pac-12
Conference bout at the Coors Events Center on Saturday.
A team that looked certain to be among the league leaders in the Pac-12 just a
few weeks ago, Arizona State has begun to slip with losses in three of its
last four games. The Sun Devils still own a strong 18-7 record overall and are
separated by just two games from conference leading Oregon in the Pac-12
standings. However if they can't right the ship quickly the promising start to
the season might be wasted.
After struggling in league play at the start of its conference schedule,
Colorado has risen from the dead with wins in six of its last seven contests.
That included a 71-58 victory over No. 9 Arizona that featured a huge helping
of revenge for the Buffaloes who lost in controversial fashion to the Wildcats
earlier in the season. Colorado is now 17-7 and tied with Arizona State,
California and USC in the crowded Pac-12 standings.
Arizona State traveled to Salt Lake City to face Utah last time out and came
out on the short end of a 60-55 decision. The Sun Devils shot just 40 percent
from the field in the contest and got outscored 17-4 from the free-throw line
while missing six attempts from the stripe.
Super freshman Jahii Carson (17.6 ppg, 5.0 apg) has seen some regression
during the recent losing stretch for the Sun Devils. Carson is still scoring
in double figures in the last three games but has scored below his season
average in each contest while managing just eight assists combined. Carrick
Felix (14.4 ppg, 8.1 rpg) has played well win or lose and has posted a double-
double in each of the last two games. Evan Gordon (11.1 ppg) hasn't been
needed to be a big-time scorer but will need to improve on his shot selection
going forward. Time was when Jordan Bachynski (9.4 ppg, 6.6 rpg, 3.8 bpg)
looked like one of the best centers in the country however he is averaging
just five points and 3.8 rebounds over the last five games.
Colorado shot 50 percent from the field and knocked down 9-of-17 shots from
3-point distance to cruise past Arizona. Spencer Dinwiddie scored 21 points
and handed out seven assists while Xavier Johnson had 19 points and nine
rebounds while hitting 4-of-5 shots from beyond the arc.
Dinwiddie (15.0 ppg, 3.0 apg) has thrown the Buffaloes on his back recently.
The 6-foot-5 guard has scored at least 18 points in three of the last four
games. During that stretch he has also managed at least four assists a game
while going 19-of-20 from the free-throw line. That has helped ease the pain
of struggling Askia Booker (13.4 ppg), who before a 10-point effort against
Arizona had failed to score in double figures in three straight games. Booker
desperately needs to find his rhythm as he has shot less than 25 percent in
three of the last four outings. Andre Roberson (10.4 ppg, 11.7) has been the
picture of consistency for the Buffaloes and leads the Pac-12 in rebounding
while Josh Scott (11.9) and Johnson (8.2 ppg) add depth.
Momentum has swung severely in favor of Colorado. Expect the Buffaloes to
continue to make a late run with an important win over the struggling Sun
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Colorado 70, Arizona State 64

I bought "DSF Toolbox" thinking it would convert OBJ files for import into DAZ but I can't figure it out. Doesn't look like it does what I want. I have imported OBJs into DAZ but none of the materials come in and I can't seem to assign any materials to the OBJ because it is one solid object not a model with parts. Also I thought I could bring it into Hexagon but Hexagon keeps crashing. I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling it. There must be some easy way to do this.
Please be kind. Even though I am older, I am basically brand new to DAZ in particular and I really haven't done any modeling or animation in the current atmosphere. Years back, i started to dabble but then dropped out for other things. I am still in the "getting a feel for DAZ", learning how do do things, and how things work stage. Any help would be appreciated. By the way I did do a search for this topic but nothing much came up. DAZ has some really good models available but it doesn't have everything. I really need to have available some of the stuff they have on the outside world, most in other formats.
Thank You

Zero, none, nada , Eranhardt is in name only, DEI which Dale Sr built is all but gone, yes the buildings are still there, but thats it, Theresa Eranhardt sold DEI, and I dont think has been seen for a very long time, she took the money and ran sorta speak.
As far as Chip goes how much pull does the Earnhardt side have? Earnhardt was a big component for Chevy.
I could be wrong , but thats my understanding on everything, Dale Jr has no ties with anything that was DEI related or Theresa
Kinda....in a way.......
Polar lights was owned by Tom Lowe and was part of his Johnny Lighting group. RC2 bought JL/PL and ran it under RC2......until Tom Lowe Leased AMT/MPC/PL/JL from RC2 and from what I understand he has now bought the assets from RC2 owner Tomy. The circle of life hobby version!

Introduction to Guitar Wiring
All guitars have the same wiring theory associated with them. They all consist of the source (pickups), the path (wires and switches), and the load (resistors and capacitors). There are an unlimited number of modifications that can be done, given pickups, wood type, wiring schemes, and the physical type of capacitor, or the amount of resistance the potentiometers have. A basic single pickup wiring diagram is pictured below to show the role of the volume and tone potentiometer or pot.
When the volume and tone knob are turned all the way up the small alternating voltage,or signal, produced by the pickup has an easy route all the way to the output. There is, however, a small drain of tone existing for that particular pickup and resistance its connected to at that time. When the tone pot is turned down, decreasing it's resistance, the high frequency signal finds an easier path to the ground connection connected to the tone pot. This change of tone is taking place at a different cut-off point as the pot is turned from up to down. When the tone pot is all the way down, the capacitor's reactance is the only resistance, and a vast majority of highs gladly trickle through to ground and are never heard at the output. The picture below shows the pot's turned down to their half way position.
The value of the pot also plays a role on the tone of the guitar. The larger the resistance is, the more tone that is transferred to the guitar's final output. You will find the pot's value sets the output volume of a guitar. With the two 500 K ohm pots pictured below turned to their maximum, the total amount of resistance the pickup will see to the output is 250 K ohms, since the resistance's are in parallel. A larger pot value of 1 Meg ohm, resulting in a 500 K ohm total, can be used as well to allow more of the pickups sound, highs and lows, to make it to the guitars output without being drained to ground. The value of the pots you choose is usually preference, but most pickups usually specify with included wiring diagrams the best match. A total bypass circuit can be added to eliminate the pot's from the circuit, so that all possible tone is transferred to the output. Check out the Modifications link for the bypass circuit.
If it hasn't become obvious yet, the ground connections in your guitar are a common point where the signal or voltage is trying to go to complete the circuit. The output jack of the guitar is also grounded to the guitar and through the cable grounds to your amp and effects. With all pots turned all the way up the voltage of the signal is applied across the pots resistance, the small amount of current is flowing to ground to complete the circuit. That voltage is present at the output of the guitar, then it is amplified. The simplest way to describe this is by Ohms Law: V = I x R, where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance. When R is zero, so is the voltage or signal applied to it.
With grounding , especially in a guitar, it is very important to make sure all of the ground points in the circuit share the same easy access to the common ground point in the guitar. If there are ground points that have different amounts of resistance to the "true ground" you are going to get noise. The technical term for this condition is a Ground Loop. Ground Loop is defined as a current, generally unwanted, in a conductor connecting two points that are supposed to be at the same potential, often ground, but are actually at different potentials. Ground loops created by improperly designed or improperly installed equipment are a major cause of noise and interference in audio and video systems. Most electronics require that the ground connection also be present through a metal box surrounding noise sensitive wiring and components. Radio Frequency waves that make up noise or radio interference can not penetrate the grounded enclosure. It's important to note that when looking at electronic schematics, such as the ones I have designed, you will see a ground symbol repeated all over the diagram. These common ground symbol represent a common point of conductivity all over the circuit.
There are some different approaches to this that I have found and I have used a unusual approach in my own custom guitar. The star grounding system seems to be one of the best ways that I have seen, since all ground wires themselves get soldered at a single point on the guitar. I have also seen the ground wires being chained from one component to another to get them all electrically connected. The new approach to this that I used was an attempt to get the entire shield cavity of the box and component wiring down to one common connection that has a very low resistance throughout. For example after the circuit was built I found with a digital voltmeter that between any distant point in the circuit, the ground reads less than 0.0 ohms, which should yield no audible noise. On any typical, non-copper wire, I have found resistance readings of about 0.7 ohms for 7 inches of wire or conductive tape. This higher resistance is a result of the different metals that were used to make it. This cheaper "alloy" utilizes little, if none of the conductivity of pure copper. Using a solid copper buss wire and solid copper tape, I can easily measure 0.0 ohms for well over 7 inches of conductor in the circuit. This buss wire is a solid copper wire measuring about 6 inches total. The buss wire is soldered to the top of the three push pull pots and extends down to the nut of the last pot, bolted tightly, and is very close to the copper shielding on the pick guard. This allows all ground wires to be soldered to this wire anywhere, and maintaining a very low resistance from the end of the wire to any point on the copper shielded pick guard. Copper also proves to be a better conductor than Lead and Lead Free solder. For an example the order of metals from highest to lowest conductivity is as follows ,multiplied by 1,000,000 Siemens per meter. Siemens is unit of conductance just like that Ohms is a unit of resistance. Siemens is just the reciprocal of resistance (1 divided by the resistance). One of the main reasons that conductance in Siemens is used, is that all kinds of details of a circuit can be calculated without knowing any current or voltage values. You will notice that gold is not the best conductor. It's primary purpose in cable plating Is to provide a corrosion resistant surface.
Rank of Conductivity
Silver - 62.1
Copper - 58.5
Gold - 44.2
Aluminum - 36.9
Zinc - 16.6
Nickel - 14.3
Tin - 8.7
Lead - 4.7
Mercury - 1.1
How Series Connections Work
Series connections for two coils in a guitar's pickup combination have the highest output and fullest sound. In this case with whichever components are connected, they are linked together in a daisy chain. The total inductance and resistance of a coil is just the sum of the two coils. The same rule applies to resistors. For example if a 10,000 ohm resistor is in series with a 1000 ohm resistor the total would be 11,000 or 11k ohms. Capacitors behave exactly the opposite, two capacitors linked in series would have a total capacitance and resistance that is their product divided by their sum. This is not a typical way to hookup a capacitor. When I say a coil or a capacitor has a resistance, I don't want you to take that term "resistance" literally. The resistance I am describing is an over simplification of a characteristic that is actually called reactance. A capacitors reactance is referred to as XC and a coils reactance is referred to as XL. This value of reactance is the value of resistance each individual frequency sees a capacitor or inductor as. This is why caps and coils are so useful.
How Parallel Connections Work
For parallel connections in a pickup combination the overall output of the pickups is reduced and the sound is thinner. I have found this combination to be very useful to take my Seymour Duncan "hot" pickups down a notch. For example, using the same 1000 ohm and 11,000 ohm resistors, the total would be 909.09 ohms. A general rule of thumb to remember is that with any two resistors in parallel, the total will always be less than or equal to the smallest resistor. The capacitor's behavior is also the flip side of the resistor or inductor. Two capacitors connected in parallel have a value equal to their sum. When pickups are connected like this they are no longer humbucking. I have seen many contradictions to this as well, but if you notice in the wiring diagram above, the connections are crossed, which reverses the phase relationship of one pickup to another. This cross is used to accomplish a parallel connection in one switch mode then allow series in another. To try to keep the pickups in phase you can connect the red to the white, but if you connect the black wire to the green wire (ground) you will get no sound at all. The only way to get around this is to have one side hardwired positive and the other side grounded. I would rather stick with the switches, myself.
This Diagram shows that Seymour Duncan and Dimarzio use a different color code scheme with the same wire colors, black, white, red, and green. With Dimarzio the difference is red for black, black for white, and white for red. Duncan and Dimarzio both are used widely for the ease of coil tapping in a humbucker.
A Digital Multimeter like this is a necessity for troubleshooting electronics and wiring. You can find these in all different price ranges, and they don't have to have a lot of bells and whistles to be useful to you. The pictured DVM has certain useful features such as a capacitance and inductance readout for a small range of components, but is also very old as you notice it comes with a floppy disk. One of the most useful features in the voltmeter that you will use for guitar electronics is the ohm meter or the continuity meter. You can use these settings to verify the connections of switches, or seek out bad connections that have excess resistance or no continuity at all.

A Word on Potentiometers
An important thing to understand when selecting a potentiometer to put into your guitar is the pot's taper. The relationships of the different types of pots is shown in the graph vs a typical logarithmic curve, which would be the ideal curve for audio, but is impossible to achieve with a pot so far. If you noticed, audio and custom taper pots consist of linear relationships fused together. Those sections are also fused together on the pot itself. For example there may be three different resistive sections on a pot and they are fused end to end to resemble a perfect log taper. Linear pots aren't sought after very much for audio applications such as a guitar. They don't offer the control you would expect to hear when turning the knob. To identify whether a pot is linear or audio, a good indication is turning the pot halfway and measuring the resistance. If the resistance is half of the total, you have a linear pot on your hands. Pots are also marked with the standard A and B. A is for audio taper and B is for linear taper or custom variations that are just two linear tapers put together. Be careful because the old standard was just the opposite, but if it is a new pot look for the A, audio taper. One of the best pot manufactures is CTS, and possibly alpha, if it is a good quality made pot. You can also just order the Dimarzio brand, which is varied who makes it from time to time due to Dimarzio selecting quality parts.

Glossaire: R - Z
One of the greatest mystical poets of all time, known by the sobriquet Mawlana (1207-1273 CE). He was born in Balkh, Afghanistan, and died in Konya, Turkey, where he is buried. A significant influence on his spiritual development was a mysterious figure, Shams al-Din Tabrizi. The Mathnawi, Rumis most famous work, was written in Persian and has been translated into numerous languages. His disciples formed a Sufi order called the Mevleviyya, which is active in many parts of the world.
A branch of Daudi Tayyibi Mustali Ismailis.
From the 27th dai onwards, the Sulaymani Bohras follow a different line of succession to that of the Daudi Bohras. They believe that the rightful 27th dai was a nephew of the 21st dai named Suleyman b. Hasan (d. 1005 AH / 1597 CE), after whom they are named Sulaymani.Suleyman was Indian but had been the local representative, amil, in Yemen for the 26th dai (who lived in India). He travelled to India to challenge Daud b. Qutbshah, but died there without garnering much support from the Indian Tayyibis. He was succeeded by his son, Jafar (d. 1050 AH / 1640 CE), who returned to Yemen. From then on, the seat of the Sulaymani dawa remained in Narjan, the mountainous north east district of Yemen. Currently, the seat of the Sulaymani dawa is in Narjan, a city in southern Saudi Arabia. The Arab Sulaymanis call themselves Makarima, from the family name of their dais, while the Indian Sulaymanis continue to use the name Sulaymani Bohra.
(Arabic; derived from the root sa-ta-ra, meaning to veil, conceal or hide). In Shii, particularly Ismaili history, the word is used in the phrase dawr al-sitr (also dawr al-satr), meaning a period when the Imams remained hidden from the public eye due to the prevailing political climate. The Imam remained physically present but not readily identifiable by or accessible to his followers or his detractors. During such periods, communication with the followers was maintained through a small number of religious officials (duat).
A branch of the Shia Mustali Ismailis with several subdivisions.
Upon the death of the twentieth Imam of the Mustali Ismailis, Fatimid Caliph al-Amir bi-Ahkam Allah (d. 1130), the Mustali community split into rival Hafizi and Tayyibi groups. The official Mustali dawa in Cairo recognised al Amirs cousin, al-Hafiz as the next Imam-Caliph (hence, Hafiziyya). In Yemen, the majority of Mustali Ismailis along with some groups in Egypt and Syria upheld the rights of al-Amirs infant son, al-Tayyib, as the rightful imam (hence, Tayyibiyya).
The Tayyibis believe that the infant imam al-Tayyib went into concealment (satr) and, since then, the Mustali Imamat in his line has continued in concealment. The concealed Imams are represented by the Dai al Mutlaq, who has supreme authority to provide leadership to the various Tayyibi communities. For centuries, Yemen was the chief stronghold of the Tayyibi dawa. Due to the close relations between Sulayhid Yemen and Gujarat, the Tayyibi cause also spread to India, eventually accounting for the bulk of the Mustali Tayyibi Ismailis (mostly of the Daudi branch) there. The Mustaalis from the Indian Subcontinent are known as Bohras. Over the course of time, the Tayyibis themselves split into Daudi, Sulaymani and Alavi branches.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Free agent acquisition Bronson Arroyo feels 'pretty average' after first spring start with D-backs
MESA, Ariz. -- The high leg kick and flowing locks of blonde hair were in midseason form, but the right arm wasn't quite there -- at least not yet.
Making his first start of the spring Thursday afternoon, Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Bronson Arroyo pitched three innings with mixed results in a 5-2 win over the Chicago Cubs, a former foe of his in the National League Central.
Arroyo, who signed a two-year, $23.5 million deal with Arizona back on Feb. 7, immediately found himself in trouble after allowing a stand-up triple to Chicago second baseman Emilio Bonifacio two pitches into the afternoon. One batter later, third baseman Luis Valbuena plated Bonifacio with a harmless one-hopper to Paul Goldschmidt.
The Cubs would add a base hit on a sharp liner to right field by All-Star shortstop Starlin Castro, but the 37-year-old settled down from there getting first baseman Anthony Rizzo to ground into an inning-ending double play.
For Arroyo, the twin killing seemed to briefly turn the tide, as he pitched a scoreless second frame that featured two first-pitch pop-outs in the infield.
The 14-year veteran did everything right against the first three batters he faced in the bottom of the third, but an inning-ending strikeout of Valbuena went for naught after the off-speed pitch fluttered away from catcher Miguel Montero and into the dirt by the D-backs' dugout.
Castro, who came into the Cactus League affair with six career hits off of Arroyo in 27 regular season at-bats, promptly followed with his second knock of the day, an RBI double into the right centerfield gap, to put the Cubs on top 2-0.
"It felt as it usually does [in the first start of spring training], like a fish out off water," said Arroyo, who allowed one earned run and three hits in the Cubs Park opener. "You try to get comfortable and figure some things out. I felt pretty average, not horrible but not great. You try to throw strikes and get a feel for your body. Get your legs underneath you and see how that extra stride length feels and making sure things aren't hurting or killing you. And just try to build on that."
While Arroyo admitted that he's already found a level of comfort inside the D-backs' locker room, Thursday's appearance was as much about his battery mate as it was about him.
"It was about him seeing my style," Arroyo said of Montero. "That strike three that got away [in the third inning], he hadn't seen my breaking ball get that sweepy. Those are the type of things that he needs to see a little bit, so those kind of things don't happened that often."
Outside of the one that managed to elude Montero's grasp, Arroyo didn't struggle to locate his repertoire of pitches, walking only one while throwing first-pitch strikes to nine of 13 batters faced.
"Results honestly at this point in my career don't mean a whole lot, unless you continue to get absolutely killed out there," said Arroyo. "It's more about just feeling your arm, starting to build on strength, feeling you have command of your pitches and having the ball move the way you want it to. And like I said, just getting used to Miguel behind the plate."
Although to Arroyo the results played second fiddle to throwing in a competitive atmosphere, D-backs manager Kirk Gibson came away pretty impressed after his first true glimpse of the free agent acquisition.
"He was good," D-backs skipper Kirk Gibson said. "I think he got tired at the end. He was right around 43 pitches. I asked him and he told me he was starting to get a little tired. But we dropped that ball there and made him extend a little bit.
"It was a good day, three innings and 43 pitches. He just has to get his arm strength built up. He's a big feel guy, so he needs to be able to throw the ball from all different angles and different release points. But it was a good first outing."
One exhibition appearance does not make or break an impression, but after recording a start with a new team for the first time since 2006, Arroyo did reveal that he is partially pitching in 'prove it' mode leading into the 2014 campaign.
Though not concerned with whether or not he makes the season-opening trip to Australia or for that matter where he's slotted in Arizona's starting rotation, the former World Series champion noted he's well aware that prior credentials only mean so much when coming to a new organization.
"Regardless of what you've done in the game, people want you to produce in front of their face," said Arroyo. "I understand that. If I go out there and walk a bunch of guys it's not going to look good. It's about throwing strikes, getting a feel for your stuff, showing them that there's things you do that you have done the last 10 years and that you can still do -- like throwing breaking balls behind in the count, pitching in on some guys, picking guys off, just doing some of the smaller, subtler things.
"If they see you doing that, then they know they've signed a guy they used to see out there. If you get out there and are walking the house -- and I'm a guy who walks 30-something guys a year -- then they might think something is wrong here. I think any guy who is a new guy on a ball club wants to produce a little bit to make people know you're not over the hill."
From Gibson's point of view, though, the D-backs are already sold.
"Well, we've seen a lot of him," said Gibson. "We have total confidence in him. I can understand that because he has a lot of pride. He expects to be good and nobody wants to go out there and say, �I'm just getting my work in.' You're getting your work in and trying to win a ballgame.
"But, he's already offered a lot within the clubhouse and to his teammates, as well. So to go out there on the mound and back it up has to be a good feeling."

Mustang MonthlyHow To Chassis Suspension
Ford Mustang Rearends - Currie In A Crate
Currie's 9-Inch Rearends Are Now Available On A Crate Basis For Vintage And Fox Mustangs
In addition to vintage cars, the crate rearends are also available for '79-'93 Fox Mustangs. Those years use this 59-1/2-inch-wide housing. Included are the required stock suspension brackets installed to accept the Fox Mustang's upper and lower control arms. Urethane upper control arm bushings are also installed in the upper control arm housing brackets. For four-lug Fox applications, order PN FDM7993X4; five-lug setups are PN FDM7993X5. The crate rearend program doesn't cover SN-95 ('94-'04) Mustangs because they use a wider 60-3/4-inch ('94-'98) or 61-1/4-inch ('99-'04) housing. It's not possible to integrate the SN-95's internally mounted ABS sensor system, which is inside the centersection of SN-95 8.8 rearends. A 9-inch rear can be custom-ordered in the proper width for an SN-95, but it won't have provisions for ABS. That's not a problem on open-track or drag cars, or if ABS in the back isn't a priority.
A complete, ready-to-install Currie 9-inch rearend is now available for '05-'07 Mustangs. Now that S197s in supercharged or turbo-charged form are pushing the 600hp threshold, there's certainly a place for this setup. Features include a Currie 9-Plus heavy-duty housing, 9-Plus late-model large-bearing housing ends, jig-mounted factory brackets, and Currie performance axles. The rearend also retains the factory rear disc brakes and all ABS equipment. As a direct bolt-in installation, there are the usual benefits of the 9-inch design, including the easily changed third-member assembly, heavy-duty third-member upgrades, and a choice of gear ratios from 2.47 to 7.33. This package is also compatible with stock, Currectrac, or other aftermarket control arms.
