Project Breathless being built for all of you who have lost or have fought a lung disease
posted in: bruce351c garage, news on March 09, 2011 at 01:29 AM
To all of the new HUB HEADS I have been a hub head for some time now even at this point having over 9000 hits of folks checking out PROJECT BREATHLESS. Breathless is my 1972 GRAN TORINO SPORT ever since I laid eyes on her in 1977. I was going to restore her my self it would have or could have been a labor of love seeing that I had little by little while my kids grew up saved a little at a time to buy only the best of body and sheet metal parts for her for over 20 years. I could have done all of the work with the skills that I have from working over 28 years or so as a metal fabricator working in TOOL ROOMS, TOOL DESIGN,WELDING, METAL GRINDING AND MEATL FINISHING. TUBE BENDING AND TOOLING DESIGN FOR BENDING MACHINES I had all of the skills needed to make my dream come true after a 30 year wait while my 4 kids grew old enough to be out on their own never having a lot of extra cash while paying child support but would change a thing when it comes to paying support and if I could have kept my kids from having to grow up and have their own adult lifes problems of their own to protect them as kids who could enjoy life for ever I would have made a deal with god that I would have paid my child support iuntil the day that I died.
Well in 2003 just when my life long dream to drive this car again I had become sick while at work and because MAYSTEEL IN WISCONSIN OWNED BY THE EVERETT SMITH GROUP AND THE OILS SOLD BY THE TOWER OIL COMPANY I am now dieing of PULMONARY FIBROSIS a lung disease that EVEL KNIEVEL, MARLEN BRANDO, AND ROBERT GULET HAVE ALL DIED OF EVEN JERRY LEWIS WILL be dieing of his long faught battle to this disease that kills without ever being a house hold name. I plan to change this with PROJECT BREATHLESS using this car to travel the USA trying to find support,funding and to make this a house hold name. There is no cure or real treatment and with a zero percent survival rate there isn't those big TV ADS OR DRIVES FOR A CURE BECAUSE OF THE FACT THERE ISN'T THOSE SURVIVAL STORY TO GO ALONG WITH THIS DISEASE. In fact to make it 5 years with this disease your only going to have a 20 % chance of that fighting all of the way.
1 American dies every 13 minutes of Pulmonary Fibrosis and about 45,000 Americans die as many of BREAST CANCER which is a house hold name because of those who survive and get to tell their stories.
Project Breathless before I found out about this disease was going to be just a very fine restoration with the 351 Cleveland engine and C-6 AUTOMATIC being rebuilt which wouls have been just fine for me to run around to car shows with but to make Breathless stand out inorder to try to get her in to the HOT ROD MAGAZINES I needed to make her stand out and to also make her last to do my talking for LUNG DISEASE AWARENESS LONG AFTER I AM GONE SHE NEED TO RUN 100,000 MILES OR MORE AFTER I AM GONE TO SPEAK FOR THOSE WHO CAN NOT SPEAK BECAUSE OF A LUNG DISEASE.
I could have had her running already years ago just on what I spent on the 2008 FORD SHELBY GT500 CRATE ENGINE OR EVEN WHAT WAS SPENT ON THE TCI 6X 6 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WITH CONTROLLER AND PADDLE SHIFT SETUP. I have spent every dime of my cemetery plot money every dime of my funeral money to try to make PROJECT BREATHLESS stand out enough to make it to the TV shows inorder to reach the guys who build cars who may also some day have problems with their lung do to years of inhaling what you all inhale on the job every day as part of your passion for doing yur best with these great cars.
Project Breathless is going to be running a 2008 supercharged 5.4 engine and a TCI 6X 6 SPEED AUTOMATIC WITH CONTROLLER AND PADDLE SHIFTER. ALSO RUNNING THE NEW BAER BRAKES GT BIG BRAKE KIT WITH THE C-6 CORVETTE STYLE BRAKE SETUP WITH A 6 PISTON CALIPER AT ALL 4 CORNERS AND 14 INCH ROTORS. DAKOTA DIGITAL DASH ADDING A DAKOTA DIG CLIMATE CONTROLED SYSTEM TO RUN THE VINTAGE AIR GEN II, AC AND HEAT SYSTEM. She had a body and paint job done with all nos and rustfree doors and panels epoxcy coated and painted the HOUSE OF KOLOR LAKE VIOLET. COYS 18 INCH WHEELS AT ALL FOUR CORNERS JUST LIKE ON THE TORINO IN THE FAST AND FERROUS MOVIE. Breathless has everthing bought to finish her ND OVER $30,000 SPENT ON LABOR THAT I USE TO BE ABLE TO DO MY SELF.
To any of you out ther who's lost a loved one to any of the lung disease you know all too well what it's like to fight for the oxygen need to keep your self alive it's so scarry for me to know what my end of life is going to be like I have watched my real father, foster mother a uncle and very best friend ail die of a lung disease and every one of them fought with every inch of was left in them trying to get that last breath of air needed to keep them alive.
Like I said this car is so close to being road ready to do the 2011 HOT ROD MAGAZINES POWER TOUR which is also on my bucket list and with being told that I had 2-5 years to live back in 2003 I guess if I do not have her done this year it's all up to GOD to give me another year to try to finish her for the 2012 POWER TOUR. JUST needed to be finished is wiring and plumbing the AC,BRAKES,ENGINE AND SUPERCHARGER. ALSO needed is to get the last $10,000 worth out of over $55,000 worth of parts on the car to finish her off. It would take about $10,000 for labor I would guess to finish her doing everything including redoing the interior or maybe nothing if the right talented bunch of guys or shop would step up and do a lobor of love for a great cause to make PROJECT BREATHLESS our voice for lung disease awareness.
ANY BODY WHO WOULD LIKE TO SEE PROJECT BREATLESS IN PERSON SHE SITS A BENNETT COACH WORKS IN MILWAUKEE WISCONSIN waiting for me to find someting to sell inorder to have the cash needed to pay for the labor to finish her off.

Hang in there Bruce, hopefully when the weather breaks the folks that can help will climb out of their winter shells & lend a needed hand. This is the worst time of year for all of us car guys, wanting to get something done and having the weather not cooperate. We get spoiled by a couple of nice days then it's back to the slush & cold. KEEP THE FAITH, pal. Good things WILL happen.

Provenance of the Neoproterozoic to early Palaeozoic successions of the Kango Inlier, Saldania Belt, South Africa
Naidoo, Thanusha
The configuration of the supercontinent Rodinia, at the end of the Mesoproterozoic to the beginning of the Neoproterozoic (1100-750 Ma), and its subsequent break up into cratonic fragments that would later result in the formation of Gondwana (Early Palaeozoic), is still not completely understood. This is largely due to ambiguity surrounding relationships between cratons, craton evolution and timing of significant tectonic or sedimentary events. Particular to this study is the evolution and palaeogeographic history of the Kalahari Craton and a comprehensive provenance analysis of Neoproterozoic to early Palaeozoic clastic sedimentary rocks from the Kango Inlier (Saldania Belt, South Africa). This includes the Cango Caves and Kansa Groups as well as the Schoemanspoort and the adjacent Peninsula Formation (Table Mountain Group, Cape Supergroup). A well established lithostratigraphy, in addition to recent establishment of age constraints by UPb zircon dating and microfossil evidence, allowed for strategic sampling with the objective of gaining insight to the crustal evolution of SW Gondwana. In this study, a progression from immature, moderately altered rocks in the Cango Caves Group (Upper Neoproterozoic) to mature, strongly altered rocks in the Lower Palaeozoic Kansa Group and overlying formations is observed. Thus, rapid sedimentation of the former is anticipated, while the subsequent formations developed at a passive/rifted margin culminating in the laterally extensive deposition of the Peninsula Formation. Ongoing extensional movement is evident due to chronologically deeper-water facies and the progressive influence of a less fractionated component in the Cango Caves Group, particularly in the Huis Rivier Formation. The association of these rocks with an active margin is not certain since index trace element concentrations are too high for typical arc terranes. Thus, the mixing of a younger (570-600 Ma) magmatic source (close to an active margin) with mafic and felsic rocks of the older Mesoproterozoic Natal- Namaqua Mobile Belt (NMB) is the most likely possibility. A maximum, pre-Cape Granite age of 571 Ma can be assigned to the Huis Rivier Formation (Cango Caves Group) by detrital zircon dating, and thus correlation with the Malmesbury Group can be made. Ediacaran age zircons might be related to the active continental margin (Trans Antarctic Orogen) surrounding southern Gondwana, but this is still hypothetical. The post-Cape Granite Kansa Group and overlying Schoemanspoort Formation were most likely deposited as basin infill subsequent to folding and transtensional tectonics affecting the underlying Cango Caves Group. The Kansa Group may be comparable with the Klipheuwel Formation (southwest South Africa) in terms of its stratigraphic position beneath the Table Mountain Group. Deposition of the Table Mountain Group is much younger than previously believed in light of Ordovician zircon ages (471, 485, 499 Ma) obtained from the underlying Kansa Group. However, the provenance of these thus far unheard of ages for magmatic events in South Africa is a matter of contention. The proximal Ordovician Ross-Delamerian Orogenic event in Antarctica is the most likely source. Peninsula Formation deposition represents a cover sequence i.e. the culmination of small isolated basins (e.g. the Kansa Group and lower Table Mountain Group) into a larger, laterally extensive basin where reworking played a dominant role. This basin is likely to be a rift-related. However, it is not clear which crustal entity rifted away from vi South Africa and if, during the Ordovician an, active continental margin further to the south - bridging the South American Famatina Orogen with the Ross-Delamerian arc in Antarctica - existed. The Natal-Namaqua Mobile Belt appears to be the predominant source throughout the succession as indicated by Nd-isotope data and zircon populations. This implies that simple crustal recycling of Natal-Namaqua basement (or rocks with similar Nd-isotope characteristics) led to the genesis of the magmatic material younger than 1 Ga, observed in this study.

Shoofly Cupcakes RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups packed brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cold butter, cubed
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 cup molasses
- Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly. Set aside 1 cup for topping. Add baking soda to remaining crumb mixture. Stir in water and molasses.
- Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture. Bake 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool. Yield: 2 dozen.
Reviews for Shoofly Cupcakes
"Excellent cupcakes! I followed the recipe as written, no changes, to retain the authentic Shoofly taste and was not disappointed. The cupcakes are very moist, but not gooey, nice molasses taste, perfect! These cupcakes will most definitely become a family favorite."
"I make Shoofly pies but will make these cupcakes from now on. They are delicious!"
"These cupcakes turned out great. They are very moist & delicious. I like molasses but it seemed 1 cup would be too strong. I only used 1/2 cup of molasses. Next time I will try to reduce the sugar. They are not too sweet, I just like to limit the sugar in foods. My daughter made these with 3/4 cup of molasses & they were even more moist and still not too strong on molasses."
"They were ok but the were REALLY STRONG this recipie is more for people who like a more "interesting" flavor"
"Are these moist inside? They sound really good! I would not need to add extra spices as they would change the flavor of the authentic PA. Dutch recipe. I make a shoo-fly cake and the bottom stays moist and kind of gooey like the pie, and I wondered if the cupcakes retain that quality also?"

Steven Spielberg saw it coming.
In June, speaking at a University of Southern California event with George Lucas, the "Lincoln" director said, "There's going to be an implosion where three or four or maybe even a half-dozen mega-budget movies are going to go crashing into the ground, and that's going to change the paradigm" — forcing the industry to rethink its reliance on gargantuan spectacles.
A month later, the first part of Spielberg's prediction has already come true: The latest high-profile calamity at the box office is the ill-buzzed "R.I.P.D.," which followed such heavily marketed titles as "Pacific Rim," "The Lone Ranger," "White House Down" and "After Earth" in failing to attract its expected audience.
Meanwhile, "The Conjuring," a smaller, "Exorcist"-style chiller from "Saw" director James Wan, more than doubled its production budget in just one weekend.
Summer 2013 is unquestionably the season of the flop. But do these numbers add up to the paradigm shift that Spielberg anticipates?
"There's going to be a re-pricing of risk," says Harold Vogel, author of "Entertainment Industry Economics."
What's been happening over the last half-decade has been the creation of a blockbuster bubble, with all the major studios herding toward the same global "event movie" model. Films with built-in brand recognition are easier to market overseas; action sequences and special effects don't lose much in translation.
Always present, the emphasis on repeating past successes and finding tie-ins and spinoffs has only grown. With administrative costs like accounting and insurance relatively level from film to film, a $200 million superproduction could thus be seen as a safer bet than several $75 million projects.

Seville Bullring (Plaza de Toros de la Real Maestranza)
Seville's bullring - or the Plaza de Toros de la Real Maestranza de Cabellería de Sevilla, to give it its due - is the oldest in Spain. It was here that the corrida, or bullfight, moved from horseback to foot, and many of the cherished theatrical traditions of the matador evolved.
The building was completed in the late 18th century and is a yellow-and-white baroque beauty. It's easy to imagine Bizet's Carmen meeting her passionate end here.
During the Feria de Abril, a week-long celebration of all things Seville, the season's most prestigious fights are held. Every afternoon, crowds pack the Plaza de Toros (or 'the Cathedral' as the locals call it) to see man take on bull.
If the spectacle turns your stomach, you might like to visit the museum and leave it at that. Here you'll find the chapel where the matadors pray, the infirmary where they're patched up, bulls' heads, and matador's costumes. Look out for the one worn by Joselito El Gallo, the famed matador who bought the diamonds and emeralds worn by La Macarena, the city's beloved statue of the Virgin. (When he was killed in the ring, the Virgin wore black!)

Which Is The True Jobless Rate Correlation? Charting The Schrödinger Unemployment Rate
In an essay by Pimco's Tony Crescenzi, using the old and worn out title "To QE or Not to QE", which asks just that question, one of the lines of analysis focuses on the traditional conventional wisdom relationship between the jobless rate and initial claims for unemployment insurance. Tony says that this correlation leads him to believe that the unemployment rate is lower than where it official stands because, "Progress has been made, for example, on the employment front, with the six-month moving average for private payroll gains increasing to 214,000 per month in the six months ended in February 2012 from 160,000 per month in the 12 months prior. Importantly, weekly filings for initial jobless claims have fallen to a four-year low, fully 100k below year-ago levels and in territory consistent with a further decline in the unemployment rate (see Figure 1)."
So far so good, and indeed if one very simplistically tracks merely the unemployment rate to jobless claims, the picture does indeed seem rosier than it currently is. The problem however, is that as always happens in this case, initial claims reflect only a discrete component of the true unemployment situation in the New Normal, which more than anything is characterized by one specific feature: the avalanche like implosion of the labor force, and the departure of millions of people, almost monthly from the labor pool, noted so very often on these pages, and recently forcing even Goldman and JP Morgan to ask whether Okun's law is not in fact broken precisely because of this. As such there is one other correlation that in our humble opinion should be tracked far more closely when trying to anticipate the unemployment rate: that of the unemployment rate but not just to initial claims, but rather to initial and continuing claims, as well as extended benefits and EUCs, which provide a far better picture of those who are truly falling out of the labor pool. And as the chart below shows, when using that far more accurate New Normal correlation, the picture is decided worse. In fact, instead of a sub-7% implied unemployment rate, the true implied unemployment rate is just over 12.5%, precisely in line with our calculations if one assumes a historical labor force participation, instead of using election year gimmicks to paint the economic tape.
Which correlation is accurate: we leave it up to our readers to decide, but note that just like everything else in a centrally planned world, we now have yet another Schrödinger data point- what the propaganda machine wants it to be, and what it really is.

Hey Ty: Schrödinger's analogy may be too limited and too binary. There are too many physics and reality defying bullshit accounting and rationalizing tricks out there -- it's more like multiple alter-bullshit-worlds out there all converging on a singularity that shall be the great market correction.
There exists a possible world where you are exactly right.
yes and it rarely has much to do with being right or lining up with reality constructs, of late....
How about tracking the population on food stamps as a percentage of the tranche of the population which in old enough to work? You cross a variety of things with this metric, but you can not have this metric explode without concluding that you have either a demographic meltdown and or an unemployment meltdown.
It costs $40K to keep a criminal in prison annually so assuing it is similar to be roofed, fed, healthcared, transported etc., every citizen that ends up unemployed and on some sort of government assistance puts more pressure on the Fed budget...8 million new unemployed with no savings = $320B each year...this is the "cost" of pretending that unemployment is getting better...
Can't do that, markets still open and theyre sprinkling pixie dust on it, or angel dust or whatever.
Every time I see these criminals step in and sprinkle their angel dust on these bullshit stock markets, I head to ammotogo.com and place an order for a few hundred rounds of ammo.
Ahhh yes...more guns and ammo...that's the answer...hee hee
Well thats not 'THE answer' to anything, but its a good start. When these maniacs finaly lose control and it spins into chaos at least you can have a chance fend off the stupid rioting Neandersheeple.
Dept of Homeland Security(TSA) is buying 450 MILLION hollow point bullets.
Hollow points are banned by the Hague convention for armies.
That's THEIR answer.
I got 5 spam cans of surplus 7.62 x 54R @ .25c a round for my Mosin.
Zombies beware.
I love Spam. Wish I could afford to eat it more often.
You can't print jobs. Ben's whole focus will be keeping bonds in check. Every EU country slowly but surely has lost control of their bond market - and it's coming for the US.
Holding the market at 1400 isn't going to get Obama reelected - but soaring food and fuel prices will give the election to Mittens. The fed has no good options left. Now they are looking for scapegoats.
Good point, IF they have ramped up stocks in the belief that gets their puppet Obama back in, thats a total wash now with gas and food prices thru the roof. I expect them to do something drastic now.

This market is so predictable it's boring. The market used to be exciting.
Yea now here we sit with markets near all-time highs, totaly manipulated, and a collapsed real economy with $5 gas and crazy food prices. Somethings going to snap back bigtime.
Somethings going to snap back bigtime.
Yeah, the people.
I mean, at some point, we have to start going gorilla and losing our shit to change stuff. The passive, ask nicely way, ain't working.
Or we all "Go Galt" at once at stop working at our jobs, stop paying our taxes, our bills, and burn the dollar bills en masse.
But that won't happen.
I love that video. Not convinced that this is how things will fail, but it's fun to think about. I guess it's matter of time scale.
Predictable, and--actually--easy to trade. I do not find it boring at all.
Yup I was telling my bud in the morning, no way they let it finish red today - count on it.
Sure it's easy to mint coin but, I like to make money on the turns too. It's no fun if the market doesn't turn.
That's because you could make money buying and/or selling. Now you just get crushed if you short this type of system. Yeah system. It's not a market any longer.
The problem with chart is that we do not have an accurate relationship of continuing claims with claims and the official unemployment rate. With few exceptions continuing claims were always based on 26-weeks of unemployment insurance. This has changed in the recent past, so I don't think that the assumptions on the real unemployment rate necessarily make sense or reflect what is going on based on current data relationship.
I always find it hard to figure whether Crescenzi is Pimco's incompetent version bullsh*tting Joe LaVorgna or just an out and out insididious crooked liar... I lean towards the later...
So what has the DOW clawed back today, 100 points? Over what?
THis is just retarded now, insults anyone with any intelligence.
Good news=Bullish
Bad news=Bullish
No news=Bullish
Go long everything. The bankers need to dump that shit they've been buying. This market is so sick that it is beyond belief.
So why aren't the fucking Republicans trumpeting this? Are they that stupid?
In the new world order...All news is good news. Meteor colliding with earth? Buy home builders.
"Electronics retailer Best Buy said Thursday it's closing 50 stores and cutting 400 employees as it wrangles with how best to proceed in an evolving market for its products."
Where will Little Johnny buy his iJunk?
Even this number is suspect. That's 8 employees per store getting the ax. Do you REALLY think they'll only cut 400 total? More like 1,500.
personally, I prefer the employment to population ratio which is at historic lows.
As a small businessman I can testify things are much worse than a year ago, there has been zero improvement and in fact I've seen many local businesses close up shop. More panhandlers than ever on the street and I personally know 6 or 7 people out of work and can't find a job; others moved back in with parents because they can't find a job that supports independent living.
The government's whitewash of the facts isn't just insulting, it's downright tragic. And don't get me started on the gov's manipulation of the markets. I agree with some of the other posters here that the percentage employed against the population is what we should be looking at. Then minus out all the part-time jobs that don't pay shit. Earning $8 an hour when your former "real" job paid $100K plus bennies ain't gonna cut it.
More than a million persons protest during general strike in Spain:
Arrests, clashes amid general strike in Spain
By Lisa Millar
Updated March 30, 2012 07:55:18
"... Tens of thousands of protesters have swamped Spain's streets to support a general strike, venting their anger over labour reforms and deep spending cuts. Thursday's strike was called to protest against strict new labour laws and more austerity measures, and nearly 1 million people took part in Madrid alone. ..."
Look at unemployment in Europe versus the US. And look at the stagnation of employment to population in the US.
Nice recovery!
Tony Crescenzi= full of shit----------------------------takes creation of 200k jobs just for those coming online each month = net net ZERO. BLS=buffalo liver soup with a little more bullshit thrown in.
Tony try taking a ride across this countryvia rural hiways (not in your limo) and I'll tell you why Home Depot/Lowes are still in business---give you a hint--its called PLYWOOD FUCKING WINDOWS.
In my other (married) 70s-80s life, I had a black lab named Food Stamp, because the man I bought him from said she (yes, she) weas eating him out of house & home. 110 lbs. in 87. Whew. Dont pick on mah dawg.
She always had work, following our 3 cats around when they would catch mice and small snakes along the creeek. Kinda like a cheerleader, she understood to stay the hell away when real serious work was on tap. Then took credit. As James Brown sed, "Spotted Snake."
This whole stabilization crap is BS. Cat be out the bag and w are all screwed.
This relates to Osama Care. No way it gets past the SC in its form, they'll back off and tryagain in a few years after MIttens be out.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) -- Detroit quarterback Jon Kitna had an
MRI exam on his injured back and could miss Sunday's game at
Kitna missed practice Wednesday, three days after leaving the
Lions' game against the Chicago Bears with back spasms. Coach Rod
Marinelli said he doesn't know yet whether Kitna will be available
Sunday, putting his streak of 36 consecutive starts in jeopardy.
Dan Orlovsky replaced Kitna in the third quarter -- the earliest
the fourth-year pro has come into a game -- and completed 13 of 23
passes for 97 yards with one interception in Detroit's 34-7 loss.
He and third-stringer Drew Stanton split practice time Wednesday.

Reward and Risk in a Digital Niche
Logan Mulvey '08 started his company, GoDigital, when he was a student at LMU.
Published: December 13, 2012
By Fred Puza
As the film industry become increasingly shaped by digital technology, Logan Mulvey '08, CEO of GoDigital, a digital distribution company, plans to embrace the revolution and avoid the music industry's mistakes of the early 2000s.
"The music industry has become a business of merchandising and touring and not as much record sales," Mulvey says. "For us, movies going digital is a big opportunity. There are a ton of movies being made, but not all of them can find distribution. GoDigital can be their outlet."
GoDigital offers more than 1,000 catalog films. Mulvey and his team attend film festivals, acquire films and distribute them through retail platforms including iTunes, Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Playstation, Vudu, Fandor, DISH and Avail-TVN. The company also manages the movies' marketing and advertising. GoDigital goes through a meticulous selection process to determine which movies will appeal to the general public and deliver the maximum profit.
"People are so used to getting barraged with information at all times of the day," Mulvey says, "that we have to be very selective about which movies we think will cut through all that white noise. If we are going to take a risk, we have to be certain that people are going to watch the films we choose."
Although the ease of digital distribution may be appealing, to Mulvey it's also partly worrisome: Internet piracy and file sharing is a challenge. Protecting intellectual property, he says, is as important as monetizing it. Mulvey supports efforts to crack down on illegal uses of intellectual property.
"One of the challenges facing the 'Me' generation is that downloading illegally is a part of the culture and may not be considered stealing because they're so used to it," Mulvey says. "We need to make sure there are real consequences for those who steal and leak content."
Mulvey is optimistic about the future of the video on demand market for several reasons: growing accessibility of high speed internet, faster and cheaper bandwidth and storage space, and declining price of flat screen televisions. In addition, technological advances are helping more people access content on multiple platforms from televisions to smart phones, iPads and laptops. "This market is only going to grow," he says.
Mulvey co-founded GoDigital in 2008 as a student at LMU. He had already begun producing videos for artists including rock band Death Cab for Cutie, singer Ashley Tisdale and rapper Master P. He teamed up with some business partners who all agreed that CDs and DVDs would become obsolete and that the emerging digital market had a future. At 28, Mulvey is a young CEO, but he credits his success with being willing to learn and hiring a competent and reliable team.
"I'm so fortunate that my first endeavor has worked out for this long," Mulvey says. "I have a lot to learn. But I have a great staff who I rely on to help guide the company in the right direction."

We're all familiar with the law that says no political paraphernalia is allowed within 75-feet of a polling place.
But this year, the Secretary of the State's office is telling local election officials that the prohibition also could be extended to gear promoting World Wrestling Entertainment.
That means a voter wearing a Cenation T-shirt or Generation D X Army pendant may be asked to remove it, depending in the discretion of poll workers. WWE is a worldwide entertainment company built by U.S. Senate candidate Linda McMahon and currently run by her husband Vince McMahon.
"Even though it doesn't say her name directly...the brand is so ubiquitously associated with the McMahons,'' said Av Harris, spokesman for Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz.
UPDATE: Republicans immediately pounced on the idea that WWE garb could be banished from polling places.
"There is absolutely nothing in the statute that prohibits someone from wearing an apolitical, nonpartisan piece of clothing to the polls,'' McMahon spokesman Ed Patru said. "This opinion seems overtly partisan, and anytime the state starts arbitrarily denying citizens the right to vote, democracy itself is under attack. It's very, very troubling."
Meanwhile state Republican Chairman Chris Healy said the idea that a voter could be asked to remove clothing with WWE images or phrases a "ridiculous act of voter intimidation."
WWE released a statement saying Bysiewicz had "threatened" the right of WWE fans to vote.
"Denying our fans the right to vote, denying them their First Amendment rights, regardless if they are Democrat, Republican or Independent, is un-American, unconstitutional and blatantly discriminatory," Vince McMahon, Chairman and CEO of WWE, said in the statement.
Healy said the law prevents voters from wearing political buttons, hats or clothing that promotes a candidate, party or cause. But it does not extend to any other clothing, whether it's promoting NASCAR, a brewery or a college. Any such prohibitions would likely not withstand a court challenge, Healy added.
"We don't have to worry about a voter with a Vietnam Vet t-shirt being turned away because Dick Blumenthal lied about serving in that conflict," Healy said."But we hope Secretary Bysiewicz considers banning individuals who wear clothing promoting law firms, Yale University or Harvard College."
No formal ban on WWE gear has been instituted, but the issue has been discussed informally with local registrars. Harris said it will be left to the discretion of local poll workers whether to ask voters to remove their wrestling gear when they are inside the polling place.
"If the poll workers feel like the wearing of WWE paraphernalia is in any way inteferring with the voting [process], they can ask the individual to cover it up or leave and come back with something else on,'' Harris said. "We're aware that this is may be an issue and were prepared to evaluate every case on an indivual basis.
McMahon's WWE connection has been an issue for much of the campaign. Earlier this week, state Democrats filed a complaint with federal election officials alleging that a new PR campaign by the company constituted illegal coordination between McMahon and WWE.
Bysiewicz is a Democrat. Her office cites other instances where the wearing of garb associated with a candidate was prohibited in a polling place. California voters were discouraged from wearing "Terminator" T-shirts when Arnold Schwarzenegger was on the ballot.
Harris acknowledged that any discussion about voter's apparel is a "very, very delicate issue."
"We have a candidate who is very very well known, who is a celebrity to millions of fans throughout the country,'' he said. "This has been a very contentious, hard-fought campaign but the sancity of the polling place is sacrosanct.''

I recently acquired a '79 Super Grand Prix and '81 what I'm guessing to be a Super Course frames. I really wish I had snapped some photos before I left them 3 hrs away from school. I'm hoping to have at least the Super Course built into a fixie in three weeks during fall break.
Both BBs are shot, what are my options for replacing? Can I replace with a modern BB (if so what spacing?) or what vintage BB am I going to be hunting down if I can't replace new? As far as I know these shouldn't have the 26 tpi count, since they are not old enough according to sheldon and they have the deraillieur mounts above the dropouts.
Again, the same issue with one of the headsets.
I wish I had the frames and photos, but that is a limitation of living on campus. Any help though would be most appreciated!

Catholic News Agency: All the News That's Fit to…Spin?
An old journalism professor once barked at my class: "If your mother tells you she loves you… Check it out." Catholic News Agency, which often operates more like a conservative propaganda outlet than a legitimate news source, has been called out for fabricating quotes attributed to Cardinal Francis George in this article describing a closed meeting at the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' recent spring assembly. The executive session included discussions about the Catholic Health Association's high-profile rift with the USCCB over health care reform legislation.
Helen Osman, the Secretary for Communications at the bishops' conference, writes in the USCCB blog that the Catholic News Agency simply "cobbled together its own fabrication of the session." Osman, who attended the executive session closed to reporters, also went back and reviewed the transcript to verify the errors. In contrast to CNA's report, Cardinal George "never used the phrase 'so-called Catholic,' accused the Catholic Health Association of creating a 'parallel magisterium' or said the meeting of the three bishops with Sr. Keehan had 'frustrating results," Osman writes. Disagreement between the USCCB and CHA over health care legislation has been well documented. But, as Osman points out, to "confuse the situation with quotes that aren't true is just plain dishonest."
Even worse, CNN picked up Catholic News Agency's flawed report in this online story. Many of us who work at the intersection of faith and politics have come to expect spin from outlets like Catholic News Agency or Raymond Arroyo's segments on EWTN. CNN should know better than to use CNA as a credible news source. CNN would have been better off doing their own digging or calling John Allen, a National Catholic Reporter correspondent regarded as one of the most respected chroniclers of Catholicism in the world. Allen covered the same meeting and got on-the-record quotes from Cardinal George that offered a conciliatory tone toward CHA. He also included a quote from Bishop Robert Lynch of St. Petersburg, Fla., that could be read as thoughtful criticism of the bishops' conference approach to health care legislation. "I've been associated in one way or another with the Episcopal conference of the United States since 1972," Bishop Lynch said. "I have never before this year heard the theory that we enjoy the same primacy of respect for legislative interpretation as we do for interpretation of the moral law."
Not surprisingly, there is more to this unfolding story than you're ever going to be reading about in Catholic News Agency.

January Strangies: Leno 5, Fallon 4, Letterman 3, Kimmel 3, O'Brien 3, Colbert 1, Ferguson 1, Stewart 1
By Strange de Jim
Beep beep! Love from Strange
Monday, January 31
10. David Letterman: This year the Academy Awards have nominated remakes of two John Wayne movies. "True Grit," of course. And the other one is "Black Swan."
9. Conan O'Brien: Taco Bell took out full-page ads telling the true details of what's in their beef. Not surprisingly the ads make great bathroom reading.
8. David Letterman: We've had so much snow in New York, the hookers in Times Square, God bless 'em, for fifty bucks more are offering lift tickets.
7. Jay Leno: The Pentagon has announced a 3-month timetable for gay to be able to serve openly in the military. They want it so coincide with the season finale of "Glee."
6. Jimmy Fallon: CBS is putting the highly rated "Two and a Half Men" on hiatus until Charlie Sheen finishes rehab. Today NBC sent him 3 get-well porn stars and a suitcase of cocaine.
5. Craig Ferguson: When someone told Queen Victoria about lesbians she said no, I'm pretty sure that doesn't exist. Then I wondered who decided they had to tell the Queen about lesbians. "Your Majesty, I have news from the golf course. There are lesbians." "What do they do?" "Awesome things, Your Majesty." "What kind of things?" "Whisper, whisper, FCC." "I don't believe that happens."
4. Conan O'Brien: Egypt has responded to hundreds of thousands of protesters by shutting down the internet. Listen, if you want people to stay home and do nothing, turn the internet back on.
3. David Letterman: Egypt has shut off cell phones and the internet. It's like visiting your parents' house.
2. Conan O'Brien: Celebrities are tweeting about Egypt. Larry King has offered to go there and speak personally to the Pharaoh.
1. Jimmy Fallon: Bristol Palin announced she has a new boyfriend. No word yet on their new baby's name.

October 8th, 2012
While you're frying up some eggs and bacon, we're cooking up something else: a way to celebrate today's food holiday.
Pierogies are Eastern Europe's equivalent of ravioli or tortellini - essentially filled dumplings. This peasant dish originated in Poland in the 13th century, and hasn't changed much since.
Let's start with the name, just to clear things up. You'll probably see it spelled pierogi, pirohgi, pierogie or any combination thereof. Merriam-Webster spells it pierogi, which is also the internationally accepted standard spelling. Pierogi is actually the plural of pierog, so saying pierogies is a little redundant but socially accepted.
As for the filling, traditional pierogies feature mashed potato, cheese, sauerkraut, fried onions, meat or mushrooms, but the sky's the limit on this. There are also different fillings to celebrate different holidays and times of year. If you're making pierogies at home, make sure they're sealed well so you don't lose the filling during the cooking process.
Typically pierogies are served hot, often with a sour cream dipping sauce, fried onions and applesauce. Dessert pierogies may be filled with fruit, chocolate or sweet cheese.
Want to try your hand at a batch at home? Look no further than pierogi enthusiast Martha Stewart who claims them as her favorite food.
Got a favorite filling? Share in the comments below. We're partial to potato and cheese or possibly sauerkraut.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month
In 1991, the New Jersey State Legislature declared that domestic violence was a serious crime against society. It found that thousands of people in this State were regularly beaten, tortured and in some cases killed by their spouses or cohabitants; that there is a positive correlation between spousal abuse and child abuse and, that children, even if they are not themselves physically assaulted, suffer deep and lasting emotional effects from exposure to domestic violence.
Domestic violence can happen to anyone of any race, age, religion, gender, educational level or socio-economic background. It can happen to couples who are married, living together or who are dating.
If you or someone you know is a victim of domestic violence, please call the Passaic County Women's Center 24-hour hotline at 973-881-0725.
Family members and friends may feel overwhelmed or frightened if they are abused by a partner. The Passaic County Women's Center provides a confidential place to stay, and offers educational, counseling, court advocacy and case management services to survivors of domestic violence and their children.
In addition to contacting the Passaic County Women's Center, the materials below may help you determine if a friend or family member is in danger and can assist you in talking with them:
10 Warning Signs by Love Is Not Abuse; and
Help Someone Stop Being Abusive by the Safe Space.
Domestic violence destroys the home. No one deserves to be abused. The responsibility for the violence belongs to the abuser. It is not the victim's fault!

West Virginia basketball coach Bob Huggins' new contract stipulates he can be fired for substance abuse or habitual intoxication affecting his job performance.
The university on Tuesday released details of the contract
Huggins signed Friday.
In 2005, Cincinnati president Nancy Zimpher refused to extend
Huggins' contract following his conviction for drunken driving a
year earlier. Huggins took a year off, coached at Kansas State for
one season and left for West Virginia, his alma mater, in April
Huggins will earn about $1.5 million per year over the next
10-plus years.

December 14th, 2010
Philadelphians are loco for Four Loko. And at Adsum Restaurant, it was standing room only — just to get a taste.
On Monday, chef and owner Matt Levin put his culinary skills to the test with a food pairing extravaganza featuring the "blackout-in-a-can," Four Loko.
The $35, three-course dinner started with two seatings, but quickly grew to four. All were sold out.
"I kind of put it up on Twitter as a joke a few weeks ago and within about 3 minutes I had 40 people that said they were in, and at that point we had to do it," said Levin, who opened Adsum, Latin for "I am present," in July. The cozy eatery is located in the Queen Village section of South Philly with a menu full of refined comfort food like macaroni and cheese, fried chicken, burgers and duck fat fries.
"It's foods I'd want to eat every night after work," he said.
The evening's menu included fried chicken, homemade lamb sausage and fried French toast paired with a slushy Four Loko play on sorbet.
"We do serious food, and I wasn't gonna change what I do just because we're doing something a little bit more low-brow," he said. "I've always been somebody that's taken interesting and weird ingredients, whether its Pop Rocks and now Four Loko, and turned it into something fantastic."
Levin began stockpiling Loko after he heard the concoction came under fire from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Phusion Projects of Chicago, the maker of Four Loko, has ceased producing caffeinated alcoholic drinks, and expects to have all of its caffeinated alcoholic beverages off retail store shelves by Dec. 13.
Levin's verdict on Four Loko: "It's an acquired taste, let's just say that."

Enforcing Company Policies
QUESTION: As a manager, I know how to handle big performance issues; people need to be warned, given time to improve, and then either shape up or ship out. I'm wondering, though, about less severe issues and how to properly handle them.
One of my biggest day-to-day headaches are the minor transgressions, those behaviors that technically violate policy or slightly inconvenience employees, but are far from a fireable offense. For example, our company doesn't allow sneakers as part of the dress code. We have an employee who walks to work, so he wears sneakers to come in and keeps a pair of appropriate shoes at his desk. This would be fine, but he often forgets to change and will spend the majority of the day violating the dress code. Generally he forgets because he jumps right in and focuses on something more important: his job! I don't feel like I can sit this guy down and tell him that he's violated our shoe policy and he'll need to remember to change or he'll be fired. That just seems silly.
Another example is an employee who doesn't check our message board and won't set up email reminders. She doesn't want the email clutter, but also doesn't want to take the time out of her schedule to check in for important messages every now and then. So if we need something like a health insurance form filled out, I need to hunt her down to get it completed. Obviously this example DOES affect my job, but am I to threaten the job of one of our top performers over it?
These ARE policies and requirements we've set though, and I don't want to give the impression that our policies (small or large) can be violated without consequence. There are many examples of minor transgressions at the office. Each one adds up to drain more of my time/energy, and I do see signs of other employees following suit. Without consequences, there is no motivation to change.
ANSWER: To have a policy that is not enforced (or enforced based on what might appear to others as favoritism) is definitely asking for trouble. But to stringently enforce a rulebook without consideration to the circumstances isn't fair either. It could be said that the purpose of a company policy is to create an environment that allows for collaboration and enables high performance in your workplace. Do your policies do that? If there is any hesitation there, it might be a good time to revisit the requirements you have set.
Another consideration is that some policies are and should be no-tolerance (sexual harassment, stealing, etc.) and merit setting an example. Others, however, may warrant more leniency. To your dress code example; does the choice of shoes inhibit the employee from performing his job well or safely? I've seen moderate enforcement work very well in several companies; a dress code is specified, but it is understood by all employees that if there is no client interaction that requires a specific presence, they will not be sent home to change so long as they exercise good judgment.
This was my answer to the July reader question on the Intuit QuickBase Blog. To see three other expert perspectives on the topic, please view the original post at 360 Answers: Should Managers Ignore Minor Offenses?

A rediculous amount of conflict among political figures
When it comes down to politics you will find there's a really important reasons why just too many people in politics don't agree an excessive amount of on quite a few matters. Using an viewpoint is actually beneficial, but the financial doom and gloom we have now pretty much occur through need to have instructed these political figures a number of tutorials.Extraordinary Appeal Individuals Program SidesThere is limited suspect about the point that various attention categories aid your totally different perimeters in politics. Numerous favor socialist gatherings as opposed to other types choose open-handed ideals – and numerous need ordinary beliefs. The later really being notably roscoe sectors exactly who normally help and support the Republicans.This just isn't actual in North american politics. The style sometimes appears pretty much all over the marketplace.The things Ought to We all do In an Income Democracy?In a lifestyle democracy it has to be a located and radiant neighborhood of political figures that care to to political election against history. Why must or not it's a presented with that socialists happen to be far more environmentally friendly than Republicans? It is actually a problem of taking care of the environment people need for generations to come.In a tremendous democracy, celebration politics will most likely function against adjustments. The wonderful appeal to sectors that help support a campaign explanation participants to election in a specific procedure when the common voters may possibly selected diversely. A number obtain classified this the "democratic deficit" because grassroot dreaming vanishes once you have into country wide politics.The Possible future of PoliticsWhat political figures desire to be cautious of will be that one time an everyday person has got to obtain achieving success in getting for business. The on line has become different the manner elections operate. Where profit appeared to be an enormous essential to pierce the video, this is not really important. You'll be ready to a system for at no cost on Zynga and Twitting. You want generally basically as taking part as the individual to assistance the focus in structure to enter the particular attention of those who seem to would possibly not employ web 2 . 0. But these types of severe will probably quickly guidance your strategies when you will have a process that surely satisfies their unique suggestions.It will be an irrefutable simple fact that events are really questioned presently. They really are challenged if we have by the estimation that the thread of get is a lot for too long from notion to move. Ideas therefore are more often than not missing in celebration associations because they begin to expire out there anticipated to another person wanting to ruin the approach before it will be actually believed to the close.Pretty much all that it can to modify once the correctly people turn up – and this tendency could happen every place around the modern world. The families wish his or her political figures to consent additional, actually across soiree limitations. That was basically proven far back by the approach men and women go to town in reviews and website content pieces – and it's going to are insane the society of politics in tactics we've not witnessed before.

Last week, Artvoice publisher Jamie Moses sent a letter to General Colin Powell to "warn" him about the BEAST. Concerned that he may not have gotten a response, we decided to call up the Department of State in Washington (202-647-4000) on his behalf:
DOS: Department of State.
BEAST: This is Jamie Moses from Artvoice in Buffalo. I sent the Secretary of State a letter last week, and I wanted to know if he'd gotten a chance to respond to it.
DOS: I'd have to give you the Public Affairs line…
BEAST: They already told me that they can't help me. I'm a little concerned. I sent him this letter about these people who write for the Nation, and are part of the ACLU, and he doesn't seem to be taking it seriously, and I wanted to know when he could respond to it.
DOS: Uh…Okay, is it dealing with overseas issues and countries, sir?
BEAST: Well, not exactly, it's dealing with my competitor in Buffalo. They're a small new newspaper, they have a circulation of about 10,000, and I think it's an urgent issue…
DOS: (baffled) Are you calling the U.S. Department of State, or your state State Department?
BEAST: The U.S. Department of State. Colin Powell.
DOS: Well, he wouldn't have anything to do with that, sir!
BEAST: Why not?
DOS: But that's in your state!
BEAST: But these people write for the Nation! They're part of the ACLU!
DOS: No, but we deal with overseas issues and countries!
BEAST: Exactly!
DOS: Uh… well, uh, Public Affairs will have to help you, sir.
BEAST: (bitterly) Thanks.
DOS: Yeah. Thank you.

Mercury Flyby 1
One month ago, on January 14, 2008, MESSENGER became the first spacecraft in over three decades to visit Mercury, snapping images of a large portion of Mercury's surface previously unseen by spacecraft. As the spacecraft proceeds on its journey, the science team continues to study the 1213 images returned from the mission's historic first flyby. The probe's trajectory will bring it to a second Mercury flyby on October 6, 2008.
MESSENGER's Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) of the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) captured this image during the flyby one month ago. The Sun is illuminating this region at a low angle, accentuating the modest ridges and other low topography on these nearly flat plains. Low ridges trend from the top-center of the image to the left edge (white arrows). The ghostly remains of craters are visible, filled to their rims by what may have been volcanic lavas (red arrows). The faint remnant of an inner ring within the large crater in the bottom half of this picture can be seen (blue arrow); the area interior to this ring was also flooded, possibly by lava, nearly to the point of disappearance. Clusters of secondary craters on the floor of the large crater and elsewhere (yellow arrows) formed when clumps of material were ejected from large impacts beyond the view of this image, which is about 350 kilometers (220 miles) across.

|NAKAGAWA SANGYO CO., LTD. Patent applications
|Patent application number
|PIPE FLANGE FORMING METHOD - A method for forming a flange at an open end of a pipe comprises increasing the diameter of the open end of the pipe to form a radially-enlarged pipe wall. Radially-symmetric portions of the radially-enlarged pipe wall are then removed so as to form at least two opposing projecting portions, which are then bent outwardly so as to be at least substantially orthogonal to the pipe, thereby forming the flange on the pipe.
|MAT MATERIAL AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A lightweight mat material having excellent sound absorption and thermal insulation properties comprises a mixture of glass fibers and sheath-core composite fibers, wherein the melting temperature of the sheath portion is lower than the melting temperature of the core portion. The glass fibers are fused with the sheath portions of the composite fibers by melting on at least one surface of the sheet-shaped mat material.
|Method for manufacturing basalt fiber - Basalt filament is manufactured such that the fiber diameter can be controlled and the filament is not severed during winding. A network former and a glass modifier are formed and maintained with respect to basalt rock ore, and the crystallization and binding of basalt fiber are inhibited, the heat-resistance property of basalt fiber is greatly improved from the conventional 750° C. to 850 or 900° C., and significant cost reduction is achieved over conventional products. The method includes: grinding basalt rock as a material; washing a resultant ground rock; melting the ground rock that has been washed; transforming a molten product into fiber; and drawing the fiber in an aligned manner, and winding it. The temperature of the molten product in the melting step is 1400 to 1650° C., and log η is 2.15 to 2.35 dPa·s and preferably 2.2 to 2.3 dPa·s, where η is the viscosity of the molten product.
|METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THERMALLY EXPANDABLE BASE MATERIAL FOR VEHICLE INTERIOR AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING BASE MATERIAL FOR VEHICLE INTERIOR USING SAME - A method for producing a thermally expandable base material for a vehicle interior, the method includes needling a web to produce a fiber mat. The web includes an inorganic fiber, a thermoplastic resin fiber, and a thermally expandable microcapsule. The fiber mat is heated to a temperature at which the thermoplastic resin fiber is melt and which is lower than a thermal expansion starting temperature of the thermally expandable microcapsule. The fiber mat is hot-pressed. The fiber mat is cooled.
|HEAT INSULATOR SUITABLE FOR A VEHICLE EXHAUST PIPE - A heat insulator is wound around an outer periphery of a vehicle exhaust pipe. The heat insulator comprises a deformable sheet-shaped heat insulating material hermetically encased in a reduced pressure state in a bag member comprised of heat-resistant metal foil.

Species: Hypericum androsaemum
This enzyme activity could be detected in desalted cell free extracts in the absence of NAD+ and CoA. Although the identities of the final end products, acetyl-CoA and benzaldehyde were confirmed, the intermediate product, 3-hydroxy-3-phenylpropanoyl-CoA was never recovered leading the researchers to suggest that a single bi-functional enzyme catalyzes two sequential reactions [Abd02]. There is some precedent for the existence of a similar dual activity enzyme, feruloyl-CoA hydratase / lyase in Pseudomonas fluorescens [Gasson98, Narbad98].
Further ammonium sulfate fractionation led to an enrichment of the cinnamoyl-CoA hydratase/lyase activity in the 40-50% fraction [Abd02]. This partially purified enzyme had the highlest level of activity with cinnamoyl-CoA, minor activity (33%) with 3-coumaroyl-CoA, and no activity with 4-coumaryl-CoA or 2-coumaroyl-CoA in vitro [Abd02].
The activity of this enzyme in cell cultures appears to be up-regulated by methyl jasmonate. This plant signaling defense compound also stimulates the activity of several other enzymes in the benzoate biosynthesis III (CoA-dependent, non-β-oxidative) pathway, and precedes a rise in the production of xanthones, a class of secondary metabolites made in Hypericum androsaemum [Abd02].

Textron Inc. (TXT) stock broke out of the ascending triangle, closing higher with decent volume. MACD seems to confirm the break out. If by Tuesday this stock gaps up, you can wait for the return move to get in.
Crocs, Inc. (NASDAQ:CROX) faces resistance at the 21.6-22 range. A close above the 200-day SMA would impart positive momentum. I will watch the stock closely the next few days, watching for this move to occur. CROX will move quickly and could be too volatile for some traders. The technical indicators are still in favor of the short-term uptrend continuation.

Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation (NASDAQ:SWHC) broke out today after it has been consolidating the past few trading days. The stock moved up on heavy volume and should have a continuation move on Tuesday. If the stock can break through today's high of $8.5, I am a buyer of the stock.

Fortinet, Inc. (NASDAQ:FTNT) broke out to new 52-week highs today. I'm expecting to see the stock continue this move on Tuesday. As long as the stock stay above $27.9 area, the bullish scenario is still intact. Technical chart shows bullish sign with %K line on top of %D line and MACD on top of signal line.
