Gear Vendors Overdrive Transmission - Over And AboveWritten by on February 8, 2005 Gear Vendors' Under/Overdrive Offers Stump-Pulling Performance As Well As Improved Fuel Economy
It's been two decades since Detroit began offering overdrive transmissions as original equipment in virtually all vehicles rolling off their assembly lines. And while the OEM's intent was to improve fuel economy and decrease engine wear, it wasn't long before enthusiasts realized the performance gains that were possible by adding another gear with a ratio of less than one-to-one. With overdrive in high gear, hot rods could benefit by using a lower (higher numerically) rearend gear, which translated to greater acceleration without the inconvenience of higher rpm while cruising at highway speeds. This was akin to having your cake and eating it to, as high-output engines were allowed to run in their power range while blasting from stoplight to stoplight, only to be given a reprieve when it came time to hit the open road.
Perhaps the best example is Chevy's venerable 700-R4, which has found its way into everything from Rat-powered pickups to lightweight small-block-motivated street rods. Of course, it wasn't too long before the factory overdrives started to show their weaknesses when never-satisfied power-mongers upped the ante in the horsepower department. Additionally, with a super-low First gear (3.06:1) and a tall overdrive (.70:1), this was an extremely wide spread of ratios throughout the transmission's range-which didn't allow the engine to best use its torque curve. These dilemmas helped create a cottage industry of developers and manufacturers who attacked the weak areas of the OEM gearboxes. And eventually, transmissions such as the 4L80-E were released from GM to handle the higher-power outputs that the racing and street performance scene required. It didn't, however, rectify the widespread ratio drop.
Despite the relative short history of factory overdrive transmissions, the idea of reducing the final drive ratio with an overdriven high gear is far from being new or revolutionary. In fact, El Cajon, California-based Gear Vendors has been offering its bolt-on overdrive for more than 25 years. And while many people who know the name Gear Vendors relate the company's product to being best used to promote better fuel economy among gas-guzzling motorhomes and recreational vehicles, the reality is their bolt-on under/overdrive is virtually bulletproof, adaptable to almost any type of transmission (automatic and manual), and a perfect match in even the highest-horsepower machines. In fact, the GV gearbox has been at home behind mega-horse drag cars for years, providing consistent performance quarter-mile after quarter-mile. And, if top speed is what your into, GV-equipped Bonneville racers have been pushing the envelope with the under/overdrive for years on the Salt Flats.
The Gear Vendors unit is essentially a separate automatic gearbox that, with a simple bolt-on dedicated adapter, gives the stock tranny two personalities-effectively doubling its gear ratios throughout the entire range. So instead of having a beefy three-speed Turbo 400, you actually get an equally tough six-speed! And with a closer ratio spread between shifts, your car's engine will better use the power you've given it.
Today's Gear Vendors' under/overdrive offers the enthusiast multiple ways to take advantage of its benefits, entirely dependent on what type of driving he or she is doing. The operator can choose to have the overdrive shift automatically if when just cruising or he or she can shift through the gears manually for maximum performance.
And, unlike most performance-enhancing equipment, installing the Gear Vendors' under/overdrive isn't complicated. From underneath, in most cases, all that's required is shortening the original driveshaft, removing the factory tailshaft housing and fitting the adapter and under/overdrive to the back of the transmission, and hooking up a couple of wires and the speedometer cable (with its requisite adapter). The unit even bolts to the original trans mount.
Inside the vehicle, you'll need to install the foot-activated shift switch (or one attached to the gear shift handle), the computer control unit (ECU), and the dash-mounted control panel. All the hardware is included and simple to work with.
Although we've been aware of the Gear Vendors' popularity, we had never taken the opportunity to have one installed in a project vehicle. Recently, we were given the chance when GV President Rick Johnson called and invited us to drop in and have one of his units installed in a '79 shortbed pickup that we've been working on. While Rick and his crew provided the ultimate installation opportunity for our cameras, the simple truth is, with the exception of having the driveshaft shortened (or, in our case, switched from a two-piece to a one-piece model), any mechanically adept enthusiast can do this installation in his home garage in a matter of hours. There's virtually no fabricating to be done, and we saw only one hole being drilled (for the wire loom).
After following along as Rick's crew completed the installation, the obvious benefit to our pickup (at this stage, anyway) was improved fuel economy, of which we saw an immediate increase (see sidebar). But with a plethora of suspension and brake upgrades already under its belt and a new motor waiting in the wings, we're betting there's more to come in the fun-factor department-especially when we lower those rear cogs and improve those 0-to-60 times exponentially. Follow along and you'll see how easy it is to do the install, and then stay tuned for a performance update in a future issue when we head back to the track with our Gear Vendors-equipped hauler.
How does it work?
The easiest way to explain the way the Gear Vendors under/overdrive unit operates is to say that it splits the existing ratio spread of the transmission. The unit is designed to shift under virtually any throttle condition-either up or down-into what can be referred to as a half a gear. What you have is basically First gear, First-over, Second, Second-over, Third, and Third-over for a total of six speeds when using a typical TH400/350-type transmission. This is the key difference between the GV and other overdrive units: six forward gears, no clutch, always keeping the engine in the powerband.
As for the mechanical workings, the Gear Vendors under/overdrive is basically a compact automatic transmission that employs components made from the finest materials, such as the expensive and time-proven reaction planetary system. Beefy parts abound inside the cylindrical case, such as hardened shafts and tough roller clutches. For maximum performance under heavy loads, like towing, there's even an optional ribbed "deep sump" that increases the volume of transmission fluid and keeps it cooler.
All told, the Gear Vendors under/overdrive unit will allow you to maximize the potential of your machine, and at the same time have direct input on how to control it. Whether it is behind a 400-horse Camaro or a 1,200-horse Super Comp dragster, the under/overdrive can take the abuse.
23-Percent Increases In Mileage And 100 Percent More Fun!
It is great to drive down the road at 75 to 80 mph and not have the feeling that you are abusing the engine. On long trips you really notice the decrease in interior noise due to the decrease in engine rpms. But the biggest improvement came when I made less visits to the gas pump as a result of the increased fuel economy. An honest calculation had the '79 pickup's mileage improving from 11.6 miles per gallon to 14.2 miles per gallon. That equates to a phenomenal 23-percent better fuel economy.
The best part of having a Gear Vendors under/overdrive in the truck is that it turned the Turbo 400 transmission into a six-speed. The Gear Vendors unit gives you two options when it comes to driving; the first is to put it on the automatic overdrive mode that can be programmed to shift into overdrive at any speed you set. In our application, we programmed it to shift into overdrive at 47 mph. The second option is to switch the Gear Vendor into the manual mode and begin gear splitting. The unit can also be programmed to shift from First gear to First gear overdrive automatically at a set mile per hour, which allows you to launch on the dragstrip. We programmed our unit to shift at 20 mph; this was the first time we had been able to chirp the tires while shifting.
Once you shift into Second gear, you can switch it out of overdrive and wait until you reach the top of Second gear and switch into Second gear overdrive. Then once you shift into Third gear, once again switch it out of overdrive and wait until you reach the top of Third gear and switch it again back into overdrive. Hey, this was definitely a cool ride!
Gear splitting is the fun part of using a Gear Vendors under/overdrive. It gives you the ability to reduce your quarter-mile times by allowing you to keep the engine's speed up between gears and stay in its optimum powerband. Every time you shift into overdrive you are adding 22 percent to your gear ratio. So you are turning your wide-ratio three-speed into a six-speed low-ratio under/overdrive.
Gear Vendors has just introduced their new six-speed and eight-speed auto shift control that automates even more of the gear-splitting feature.
While at Gear Vendors I had an opportunity to go for a test ride with Rick Johnson in his C5 Corvette with the new eight-speed conversion. It was incredible how much quicker the car accelerated than with the standard four-speed automatic.
We are in the process of building a more powerful engine for this truck; so stay tuned for our quarter-mile test with and without our new gear splitter. For now, with all-time high gas prices, we'll take advantage of the savings at the pump. -Tim Foss

The working internals. This cutaway view of the GV under/overdrive unit shows the extreme quality of materials and workmanship that goes into each gearbox. From the heavy-duty clutch pack to the high-strength sun gear assembly, this unit not only provides a more efficient running vehicle, but one that, with the correct engine/rear gear combo, will plant you in the seatback.The GV design provides an almost unlimited ability to be adapted to any vehicle. Note the studs protruding from the front of the GV's case; this is where various adapters allow the unit to be mated to everything from the basic Powerglide to a track-thrashing Jerico four-speed.A digital angle finder was mated to the rearend's yoke to determine if the pinion angle was correct. This truck came with a two-piece driveshaft, but a new one-piece will replace it.Once the yoke was removed from the TH400, the transmission mount was unbolted and the tranny was lifted off the crossmember. It's advisable, at this point, to inspect the mount and replace it if it shows any wear.A worn mount will lead to noticeable vibration and can accelerate wear from virtually all the driveline components.The coupler that connects the TH400's splined output shaft to the new input shaft of the GV under/overdrive goes through a seal in the front of the adapter housing. It is important to grease the seal prior to installation, thus preventing a dry start and possible destruction of the seal.With the coupler installed, and the gasket in place on the mounting surface, a small straightedge was used to determine the gap between the end of the coupler and the face of the adapter housing. This dimension is important because it will determine how deep the new input shaft fits into the front of the GV under/overdrive pump. Shims were used to arrive at the correct depth. The metal shims were first used between the coupler and the straightedge.
Here's the main reason that the coupler depth must be precise. The oiling holes in the new input shaft cannot be covered up. If the shaft is in too deep it is likely that they will be partially covered, thus infringing on the correct oil flow.Installation of the adapter housing to the end of the TH40 is a precise, yet simple, operation. At this point, the bolts were installed and firmly tightened down.Here's the machined coupler that connects the TH400 and GV unit together. Installation is simple, however, there is a critical step involved which requires precise measurements with supplied shims.Once the unit was in place underneath, the next order of operation was to install the controls. The GV under/overdrive system comes with this cool-looking control panel. Its obvious mounting position was on the dash, within arm's length, no less.The brains of the system, the GV's ECU. This little computer offers a host of options for shifting the under/overdrive.The foot-activated shifter switch, similar to an old-style, floor-mounted dimmer switch, is used to activate the GV unit on vehicles with column shift. The floor shift or console shifter gets a button on the shifter. Mounting it was a piece of cake-two screws right into the floorboard.The speedometer adapter fits in the rear of the GV under/overdrive housing. It's important to lube the O-ring seal.
A slick right-hand spe-edo cable adapter is used to offer better clearance for the cable and to help keep it away from the catalytic converter and an almost-certain failure.Since our donor truck was originally equipped with a two-piece driveshaft, it included this bracket for mounting the center bearing. With a new one-piece shaft ready to install, the bracket had to be removed. Since it was riveted in place, an air chisel was used to knock off the old rivets.The new driveshaft came with brand-new universal joints on each end. Make sure you replace the ones in your shortened driveshaft, as well.Installation of the new driveshaft is pretty straightforward. Of course, make sure that the bolts holding the straps (or U-bolts) in place are torqued according to specs.The last operation before driving our hauler was to fill up the GV under/overdrive with the requisite transmission fluid. Fluid capacity for our non-deep sump is 28 ounces. The deep-sump model holds an extra 14 ounces.The drive to GV's El Cajon-based headquarters was comfortable, albeit sedate. The drive home was much more fun!

Project management
BT has signed a £108m contract with service provider Perot Systems to help it deliver a patient-records system and application to the NHS.
Perot will provide project management, implementation and configuration services for the NHS national programme for IT.
BT won a £996m,10-year contract in 2003 to be the local service provider for the electronic patient records system for London.
Healthcare software technology provider IDX Systems is supplying the application for the contract. In addition to London, NPfIT awarded four other regional contracts.
Perot has been a subcontractor on the deal since BT entered its bid, so the agreement represents a cementing of the relationship, according to Perot spokesman Charlie Richards.
Although the Plano, Texas, company signed a six-and-a-half-year contract with BT, fully implementing the patient records system is being thought of as a seven-to-10-year project, Richards said.

I live in a house with a few other people and on Tuesday nights we alternate cooking for eachother. I love cookbooks and I LOVE the food network so this is the perfect time to try out new recipes...everyone knows its no fun just trying recipes on your lonesome. Each week we try to out do eachother and we ALWAYS make dessert.
Last week I made Chicken Burgers with Garlic-Rosemary Mayo. It was pretty good and I am still using the mayo for sandwiches and chicken salads.
Click here to check out the recipe.
I hear that tonight we are having Chicken Sausage Meatballs from Rachel Ray.
Click here for the recipe.
I might even open up a $3 bottle of wine tonight from Newflower Market!

It works!
Posted by Captain-Wonderr on Oct 20, 2015
When I take this product regularly, I notice that even if I do get a cold or flu, it's so mild I barely notice having it. Since I started taking elderberry, I've been sick much less, and this is the best of the elderberry products I've tried.
Flu buster
Posted by 4836150751657908512 on Feb 26, 2015
This was recommended by a customer's mum and purchased with a lot of doubt. But after two bottles, I'm sold. It works. However you need to take it at the first signs of a flu or cold. Does not seem to work that well once the flu starts but taking it seems to shorten the length of the symptoms and you recover faster. Definitely will buy more.

This product is also good for lowering blood pressure
Immune Booster!
Posted by iherbonline on Dec 29, 2014
My daughter was having cough, flu and fever on and off for more than a month. Medication, natural remedies (garlic oil socks, drink garlic and onion water, ginger water) all not work. Until I give this to her, she is slowly recovering from all the symptoms. Remember this product is not a magic, it takes sometime to boost up your immune system. Definitely will add to my daughter's regular supplement list.
Keep colds and flu away
Posted by Reviewer2799841 on Dec 17, 2014
I used to come down with everything the kids brought home from school. I tried a number of things, but kept getting sick. I got on this 7 months ago and have not been sick once since I started. My family who did not take the same one got sick, but I was OK. I take 1 teaspoon a day and 3 if I am exposed to someone who is sick. This is potent stuff, and it will keep colds and the flu away.

This product is awesome! I take it for my 2 yr daughter and she dont get sick. Also helps for myself. Really the best
Warning! Can be toxic for small children!
Posted by reader on Jul 31, 2014
We've been buying and using this syrup for sometime for the whole family, including my 3 year old son. A week ago, my son drunk a few tablespoons of this syrup while my husband left him unattended in the kitchen. When I got home,my son suddenly started crying from a terrible headache, then vomited repeatedly and become pale, sleepy and weak. We rushed him to ER. By the time we got there he vomited everything that he swallowed earlier and felt better. Thank God! I am writing this to warn other parents: please watch the dosage and do not leave this accessible to small children! Also elderberries can be toxic when uncooked. My son has a lot of food allergies as well. None of us ever reacted to this product before when we took it as suggested. It seemed to help with colds and flu.
Five grams per 5ml dose!
Posted by 4788271579707822732 on Jul 28, 2014
This doesn't taste great but is effective against maintaining the household against falling ill. Good price, considering that like brands of the same size require a 10ml dosing, but this punches in at 5 grams of elderberry extract per 5ml.
I didin't work for me
Posted by Jeanne1974 on May 06, 2014
I tried it when starting to get a cold and right through the whole sickness, and each time, nothing.
Good value

KEUKA PARK, N.Y.— Marching forward fearlessly into the future are several young men and women recently awarded diplomas from Keuka College. They hail from a host of different majors and home countries. Their interests are as varied as their personalities. But they all have two distinct qualities in common: a Keuka College education and the professional life-learning experiences of the annual Keuka College Field Period™, a 140-hour personalized experience that may take the shape of a professional internship, a cultural study, artistic endeavor, service project or spiritual exploration. Here, each one shares the primary benefits of his or her collegiate experience:
What she's up to now: Graphic designer for the Elmira Jackals East Coast Hockey League (ECHL) hockey team.
Notable parts of her KC journey? Designing her own minor after falling in love with graphic design her sophomore year.
"Designing a minor in digital design and having the skills in Adobe design programs helped me stand out on campus and at Field Period™ sites. I wouldn't trade my Keuka College education for anything because of the personalized attention that I have received from professors and staff. I had amazing experiences here that helped me earn awards, scholarships, and my degree."
Where she's headed next: Roger Williams University for a master's degree in forensic psychology.
"I will forever be grateful for the education I received and the people I met while a student at Keuka College. One of the greatest benefits was Field Period™. I gained a lot of great experience and made professional contacts that are extremely valuable."
What she's up to now: Cost accountant at G.W. Lisk
How'd she get her job? "I started as a math major, but after completing my first Field Period™ at G.W. Lisk, I changed my major. I loved it at Lisk: the atmosphere, the work, everything. I returned to Lisk to work summers and breaks, so I have been working there part-time for the last four years."
Best part of her KC degree program? "Each Field Period™ was a huge learning experience, and each experience helped shape my goals and dreams. It is by far the most valuable aspect of my education at Keuka College"
What he's up to now: Working for Catholic Charities of Oswego. Oh, and campaigning for a seat on the Oswego County Legislature.
Notable parts of his KC journey? Played baseball for the Wolfpack, which taught him how to manage his time and multitask. Completed Field Period™ internships at the offices of U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY), U.S. Rep Dan Maffei (D-NY), and the NYS Democratic Committee.
"The Field Period™ is what sets Keuka College apart. I was able to build real-life connections starting my freshman year. The Field Period™ allowed me to cultivate meaningful relationships and helped me reaffirm that politics was my passion. I am very grateful."
Where she's headed next: Rochester Institute of Technology on a scholarship to pursue a master's degree in computational finance. She'll learn how to analyze big data through math, finance, and programming. Ultimately, she wants to enter the insurance industry.
Notable parts of her KC journey? Multiple extra-curricular activities and earning a Judith Oliver Brown scholarship that helped pay for two Field Period™ experiences abroad.
"By coming to Keuka College I received more than just valuable education—I also received a promising future. I could not have done it without the help of my supportive professors. If there were one thing I encourage future students to take advantage of, it would be the small class sizes and interpersonal relationships. Develop these professional relationships because they will help you succeed."
Where he's headed next: Marywood University for a master's of social work degree.
Notable parts of his KC journey? Brandon was named one of six 2015 Student Social Workers of the Year for the Genesee Valley division of the state National Association of Social Workers (NASW).
Notable people? "Professors Stephanie Craig and Jen Mealey supported me and encouraged me to do my best. They're absolutely wonderful people and wonderful social workers and I don't know where I'd be without them, to be honest."
"In grad school, I have to complete a 518-hour internship, but I'm so ready because of Field Period™. I'm definitely prepared academically and I'm not worried about the internship at all."
Where she's headed next: Duke University Graduate School on a $28,000 fellowship to pursue a Ph.D. in bio-organic or synthetic organic chemistry.
Notable parts of her KC journey? A co-publishing credit for a research study published in the Journal of American Animal Welfare Science (JAAWS), an article "Why People Mistrust Science" published in local newspapers, and a 10-week study of enzyme kinetics at the University of Buffalo through a program funded by the National Science Foundation.
Best part of her KC degree program? "I really appreciate the size of Keuka College and the hands-on experience I gained. I've been able to work with professors one-on-one or in small groups for independent studies and research projects. They know me and care about my interests and where I want to go. Field Period™ was instrumental in helping me figure out what I want to do. I was able to gain experience both in a career I realized I didn't want to go into and one that I do want to pursue."
What she's up to now: HR Coordinator for Biogen Idec, a Fortune 500 biotechnology company in Boston.
Notable parts of her KC journey? Two paid Field Period™ experiences in different branches of Biogen Idec paved the way for a job offer before graduation.
"Keuka College offered so many outlets for developing myself in a multitude of ways. Field Period™ scholarships enabled me to engage in a life-changing spiritual/cultural journey in Thailand, and the emphasis the College places on experiential learning through Field Period™ helped me land my dream job at a Fortune 500 company."
Where she's headed next: Pace University in NYC for an MBA in marketing management.
Notable parts of her KC journey? Two Field Period™ experiences at the Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and Tokyo, Japan offices of Dentsu, Inc. – the fifth-largest ad agency in the world.
Best part of her KC degree program? "Keuka College provides an environment that encourages you to discover the world through hands-on experience, which is a better fit for me than only sitting and listening to lectures. I'm so thankful for the support from not only my friends around the world, but also the faculty and staff at the school. My professors not only cared about my performance in class, but also helped me figure out my next steps and how to achieve my goals."
What she's up to now: Working with families and children as a family advocate at Peace, Inc., where she conducted a Field Period™ during her sophomore year.
Best part of her KC degree program? "I have come to realize how great Field Period™ actually is. In the end you walk away with so much experience and even potential jobs. I am grateful to the professors I had — they truly care about their students and how they are doing. The small classes and great teachers were the reasons for my success at the College and I am thankful to have had the experience I did!"
Editor's Note: Where can a Keuka degree take you? This is the seventh in a series of snapshot profiles on members of Keuka's Class of 2013.
Jose Cervantes '13 was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco-Mexico, but grew up in Horseheads. With aspirations of working for Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) in its Madrid, Spain branch office, Cervantes earned a degree in business management with a marketing concentration and will pursue a second degree through Keuka: a master's of management with a concentration in international business.
Cervantes played midfield on Keuka's men's soccer team in his junior and senior years after transferring in from Corning Community College, where he played as a sophomore. He'll compete one more year for Keuka while grad school is underway. Indeed, sports have played a major role in the internship experiences Cervantes pursued through Keuka's Field Period program. His senior year internship was conducted at Watkins Glen International Speedway.
"I benefited the most from the Field Periods," Cervantes said of Keuka. "Having [job] experience before graduation is a great plus in the 'real world.'"
While grad school is underway, Cervantes will branch out in his new role as restaurant chain supervisor at Garcia's Mexican restaurant (his family's business), where he will also oversee marketing.

Where can a Keuka degree take you? This is the first in a series of snapshot profiles on members of Keuka's Class of 2012.
Janelle Davidson '12 graduated summa cum laude with a degree in biology and has been accepted to Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., where she will study veterinary medicine this fall. Davidson just received word that a research paper she contributed to with Dr. Bill Brown, assistant professor of biology and environmental science, was accepted for publication in the Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science. Their study analyzed data from two "no-kill" animal shelters, in New York's Tompkins and Yates counties, as to whether age, sex, size, breed and coat color of a dog influenced how long it stays at the shelter before adoption.
In her senior year, Davidson won a Judith Oliver Brown scholarship for a Field Period internship in Australia, where she explored exotic wildlife at Tarongo Zoo and visited the University of Melbourne's veterinary school. She also vaulted over her Keuka classmates in field ornithology, winning top prize – a Swiss Army knife – for correctly identifying the highest number (121) of bird species by sight and song during weekly field labs.
According to Davidson, Keuka's proximity to her hometown of Cortland, N.Y. and the small size of the campus were very appealing, and she was able to take leadership roles in some campus clubs. However, she said that "the personal attention and encouragement is what I value most about my Keuka education. I was able to benefit from professors actually knowing who I was and what my goals were. When I spoke with professors, they always encouraged me to do my best and pointed out opportunities that would help me along the way."

Army Family Readiness Groups enhance mission
March 14, 2011
By Sarah J. Schmidt, USAG Schinnen Public Affairs
Story Highlights
- FRG provides 'ready-made' family
- Connect to community through FRG
- Valuable resource during overseas assignments
Related Links
SCHINNEN, Netherlands -- Overseas assignments bring unlimited opportunities for adventure and excitement, but they may also bring stress, frustration and a profound sense of loneliness if individuals don't connect with familiar support systems. Army Family Readiness Groups can help.
FRGs are command-sponsored organizations that form a network of communication and mutual support among family members, community resources and a unit's chain of command. They also play a key role in Soldier and family readiness, notes Anne Daugherty, USAG Schinnen's acting director of Army Community Services.
"FRGs enable Soldiers to better focus on their mission and maintain the mental readiness to carry out that mission because they don't have to worry whether or not family members are receiving support and the tools they need to also be resilient," Daugherty explained.
In this tri-border region of Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands, two FRGs serve Army families: one at AFNORTH Battalion, located on Joint Forces Command Brunssum and another at USAG Schinnen's Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment. Ellen Jeffries is the acting FRG leader for AFNORTH Battalion. She came here from Ft. Bragg where the FRG focused on keeping communication open between command leadership and families of deployed personnel.
"Here, the FRG provides Soldiers and spouses a 'ready-made' family in times of need, or when they just want to vent about living in Europe," Jeffries said.
"It's hard to care about your fellow unit or company members if you don't know them," Pam Shackelford, FRG leader for the Schinnen group, observed. "Military life is rife with challenges that can leave a person feeling isolated, alone, and at worst, ignored. The FRG is there to help the individual connect to the community."
As a former Soldier, Sarah Martin, Schinnen's previous FRG leader, sees a change in the FRGs of today, versus those she knew a decade ago. "I've watched FRGs become more goal based and organized, rather than just a 'gossip club' as I used to see them as a Soldier. There's also been an influx of formal training for FRG Leaders, steering committees and the spouses," she said.
Jeffries, Shackelford and Martin realize many people associate FRGs with deployments, but FRGs do a whole lot more than assist during separations. Both tri-border FRGs are active in community events, including the annual 4th of July AmericaFest, Easter Egg Hunt and Halloween Trunk or Treat. Last year, the AFNORTH FRG took 30 single Soldier and married moms on a "mothers only" trip to Keukenhof Gardens. The Schinnen FRG hosted a Thanksgiving dinner and offered Burrito Breakfasts at Schinnen.
"A true FRG is there all the time to help - be it with meals for a Soldier or family member who's been hospitalized... or just as somewhere to turn when you want to talk; they're also a great way to find out what resources the community has available," Jeffries said.
Schinnen's Army Community Services offers FRG training regularly. To contact either FRG in the tri-border area, or to find out when the next training is scheduled, call ACS: 31-46-443-7500.

a lot of paint on canvas board 8"x10" aka 25cmx20cm
this is about 3 years worth of paint--whenever i finished a painting session i took a pallette knife and wiped any extra paint on this board.

Amazing and Beautiful.
Great work. Unfortunate title.
you're right! i changed it. do you think it's better now?
you're right! i changed it. do you think it's better now?
Love it
thank you! i really should start another! this one took something like 3 years to look like this.
I love this so much ruthie!! looks great!!!!
Great, I'm thinking you may have created a graphic representation of chaos theory. Realise it is random but there are discernible patterns in it, cool.
wow. thanks.
it's hard to make something that is *actually* random but in this case you're right, it really is.
i'm kind of into pattern recognition, so that's awesome!
quite an interesting piece considering how it into existence. I like the colorful, all-overness of it. when I attended the Yale Summer School of Music/Art many years ago there were about three of us who did the same thing, I used maybe an 8"x 5" canvas board. with all the scraping paint back off of canvases I had about an inch and a half thick muddy mound of paint by the end of my two months there, lol! anyway hopefully you've started work on another.
i guess you're a lot more creative than me cause i never would have thought of it, someone told me about theirs and i started it. you're right, i should start a new one. it used to be one of my favorite things to do with paint, lol. i like the way it's so random. i didn't even look at it when i was slapping the paint on there so it really is random. my only problem is that i've been painting only with watercolors lately. i change from medium to medium while the obsession is strong. i've tried pasting a lot of watercolor like that, and it's cool looking, but it's too expensive, too sticky and too brittle to work. lol
I don't know that I'd say I'm more creative... possibly more maladjusted but other than that... lol!
nope, not possible to be more maladjusted than me! i have a huge list of disorders...bpd, ocd, ptsd, etc. etc. lol maybe it's that you have much more experience with art than i do.
that's always possible I guess...
who knows? maybe you have a big list of disorders too...?? lol maybe we're tortured artists. that sounds better than fucked up people!
well certainly it does. idk, I lost my parents before I turned 4, my grandfather while in high school and my brother (only sibling) in early 1996, didn't think I'd make it to 30. that's had a huge effect on me, I won't bother getting into how it's affected my interpersonal relationships.
wow, that's just awful. i wish my mother had died before i remembered anything about her. but like you, i shan't get into it now. lol i thought i would die at 26. i have no idea why, but until i reached 26 and made it to 27, i really believed it. i don't have any siblings and i won't have contact with any of my extended family, my grandparents were fairly cool. my gramma ruth was a professional painter. they're all dead now, though. it's just me, my husband, and my dad and stepmother. i don't have very many interpersonal relationships and that's how i want it. i liked exchanging letters, back in the day when people did that! and now i enjoy online friends. i think i've driven away all my real life friends, but i don't really see that as a problem. XD
wow, looks great, i do a similar thing on board except i make a portrait out of it, very nice
gah! that's much much more impressive! mine is totally random. i just grabbed it and scraped paint onto it. but thank you!
What a great idea !!!! Can I borrow it !!!! And above all it's wonderful !
thanks! take the idea! go for it.
Thanks !!! It's so much wiser than throw it down the drain !!! I'm ashamed I didn't think of it myself but glad I know someone who did !!!
i thought of it because sometimes i'd be left with a big blob of paint and used to brush it onto a canvas or paper, that's how spontaneous and messy i am, and then i'd have a load of paintings that turned out similarly colored. lol so i started on the canvas board. i think is who i heard about it in the first place...i can't remember if i can take credit for the idea or not! lol
Hehe this is great!
I always wondered what to do with extra paint since I have the annoying habit of using all the paint on my palette and by doing so, ruining the painting... Thought I would not have the patience to do something like this... instead I made a little album where I paint with the leftovers... xD

Awesome Ruthie!
Good job!
Wow, I didn't know that other people did this! It can look really cool, a painting all to itself.(:
nice job
I do that too
I do that too
I was doing something like this too with the extra paint that gets dried in the lid....but I couldn't think of anything to do with them so I ended up throwing them away lol
Absolutely brilliant!
very cool.
So cool!!!

For consumers hoping to reduce their carbon footprint, Coke's PlantBottle looks like a great bet. But is it the real thing...or just a marketing ploy?

Ridiculous that stores don't open until noon on Sundays! Talk about lost revenue. 10am is more reasonable.
Southland is coming up again. My children love the mall. They now have a Churro Mania!!! Awesome spot for the whole family again!
Plenty of holiday shopping deals to go around!

In the last decade, UNEP has been actively supporting developing countries in the implementation of SPP and ecolabelling through the UNEP-led Marrakech process aimed at advancing sustainable consumption and production practices. The experience of the UK and Switzerland served as best practice for developing a specific SPP methodology, which was tested by UNEP in 7 pilot countries and subsequently revised and improved on the basis of the lessons learned.
The SPPEL project started in April 2013 and builds on the foundation laid by UNEP's work in the fields of Ecolabelling and SPP. The project is supported by the European Commission, China and the Republic of Korea.
Download our brochure here.
More specifically, the project aims at providing capacity development and technical assistance to public and private sectors on the development of SPP policies and use of ecolabelling. In addition, target countries are assisted in the coordinated implementation of sustainable public procurement policies and ecolabelling
In order to reach the above mentioned objectives, the project is implemented at regional and national levels.
National activities are rolled out in 13 countries and include capacity building and advisory services for the combined implementation of SPP and ecolabelling.
At the regional level, the project focuses on consultations of stakeholders, awareness raising, regional cooperation, and capacity building activities in the Southern Cone (Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay) and South East Asia (ASEAN countries).
A knowledge management, outreach and communication component supports national and regional level activities.

I got our older girl the Trek Float which has a neat concept for teaching to ride. Well, she wasn't tall enough to stand over it at first. But she is growing fast.
Is there a general rule of thumb of when to go for it? Strong enough to hold the bike up... stand over it...
She has the pedal power (did 45 minutes on the flat land last weekend).
She did say "When I am 5"...

So Apple's share price took a dip with today's announcement of new iPod flavors, colors, and price cuts. Basically, Wall Street saw through Steve Jobs>"/>
So Apple's share price took a dip with today's announcement of new iPod flavors, colors, and price cuts. Basically, Wall Street saw through Steve Jobs boasting "a total refresh" of the digital music gizmo, which is still basically doing what it did six years ago—only with new flavors, colors, and price cuts. (Yawn.) What caught our attention in this repackaging effort was the iPod Touch model, which comes Wi-Fi enabled, announced with a new retail tie-in deal with Starbucks, whose stock has fallen about 22 percent this year. According to the two companies, "When a customer enters a participating location, their device will automatically recognize the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store using a high-speed Wi-Fi wireless network with no connection fee or hotspot login. Customers will be able to browse, search and freely preview millions of songs, including a new "Now Playing" service which displays the name of the song playing in the Starbucks store at that moment, then easily buy and download songs or albums directly to their device."
Your old iPod—time for a replacement, sucker!—can't perform this trick, though your iPhone or laptop will. Selected Seattle stores, plus some in New York, will be first to debut the new connectivity on October 2, which rolls out nationally next year. But seriously, kids, isn't there something kinda creepy about Steve Jobs and Howard Schultz sniffing inside your purse, pocket, or wherever else you stow your iPod? Because when you cross the threshold of a Starbucks store, your iPod will "automatically" connect to that iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, and connections work both ways. There's nothing in the press releases about permission or blocking this retail snooping. Does the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store check the contents of your device? Will its "Now Playing" service soon be modified to suggest songs you don't already own? Will it check for illegal downloads? Will it copy your playlists for future marketing? Might it send you coupons, messages, or other helpful shopping suggestions? ("If you like Coldplay's 'Yellow,' you might also like a pound of Kenyan organic blend.")
Says Starbucks chairman Schultz in a company press release, "Introducing this new service is a natural extension of our music strategy, which only enhances the retail coffee experience for customers by helping them discover and acquire new music instantly." Well, somebody's discovering something, that's for sure. And until more questions are answered, Starbucks customers may want to consider leaving their iPods at home.

By Rabbi Matthew Berkowitz | Director of Israel Programs, The Rabbinical School, JTS
A few weeks ago, Etgar Keret, an accomplished author on the Israeli literary scene, made a pilgrimage from his home in Tel Aviv to JTS's Schocken Institute in Jerusalem to address a group of rabbinical students from JTS and HUC. Among the many thoughtful and reflective insights he shared, he spoke of the need for Israeli society to reflect the best of Jewish values. As a stark illustration to the contrary, he pointed to the last Israeli election. Naftali Bennett's party, Habayit Hayehudi (the Jewish Home), campaigned under the slogan of מפסיקים להתנצל (Enough apologizing!). Bennett's message

"Shamor vezakhor bedibur ehad" ("keep" and "remember" in one utterance), we sing in Lekhah Dodi (a phrase originally found in the Talmud, BT Shevuot 20b), because The Ten Commandments were given twice, once telling us to "remember" shabbat, and once, in this week's parashah, telling us to "keep" it.
Many contemporary commentators build philosophies of pluralism on this Biblical oddity—for if our canon includes multiple formulations of The Ten Commandments themselves, then surely it is telling us that pluralism, difference, and diversity should be core hallmarks of our tradition and identity?

Portions of the Torah sometimes come to greet us with a timeliness, even an urgency, that seems positively breathtaking. How did the Torah know that we would need to hear this message—this one and not another—and to hear it right now: this week, this year, and not some other time? Snow is falling heavily in Denver as I write—the snow arriving much later in the year than usual—and a tropical storm is making itself felt in the Carolinas, much earlier in the year than usual.

Sold into slavery at the age of 17, Joseph attained the post of vizier of Egypt by the time he was 30. That would have been a remarkable feat by a native; for a foreigner, it simply boggles the mind. Only Pharaoh stood between him and absolute power. Joseph had deciphered Pharaoh's premonition of catastrophe and urged decisive action on a national scale. And Pharaoh rewarded the messenger by appointing him to carry out his own counsel. He also bestowed upon him all the trappings of power, including an arranged marriage with the daughter of an Egyptian priest.

At the opening of Parashat Nitzavim, the Israelites stand rooted before Moses and God. A captive and diverse audience, they are recipients of a message that is both immediate and transcendent in nature. They are told, "I make this covenant, with its sanctions, not with you alone, but both with those who are standing here today before the Lord our God and with those who are not with us here this day" (Deut. 29:13). In addition, the Israelites "enter into the covenant . . . to the end that God establishes . . . as God promised to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob" (Deut.

"If it doesn't rain, we don't know what's going to happen," commented a NASA water-cycle scientist recently on the drought that has been devastating California. With rainfall and reservoirs at historically low levels, the state's farm owners and laborers are increasingly faced with dire choices: What percentage of their fields will they have to leave fallow? How many farmhands and migrant workers will have to be laid off? At what point should one give up—uproot one's family, move on, and do something else? As the drought intensifies, so do the feelings of uncertainty.
Parashat Eikev deals heavily with the theme of entering and securing the Land of Israel. Multiple blessings are part and parcel of entry into the Promised Land. The people are promised a "good land, a land with streams and springs and fountains" (Deut. 8:7) and one that is replete with seven species (wheat, barley, dates, pomegranates, figs, olives, and grapes; 8:8). But those blessings are dependent on the observance of the mitzvot and the loyalty of the Israelites.
