Instructions for Recording Relationships: Discussion Paper (July 2013)
1. Issues Raised by the Strawman Proposal, #2: Which elements should be included…?
2. 24.4.3: "structur4ed" should be "structured"
3. 184.108.40.206: Final example ends with publisher name and comma
Tracey Snyder MusLA 7/24/13
220.127.116.11: "Verse adaptation" is a work- or expression-level relationship designator, but this example includes manifestation elements. In fact, all of these examples look manifestation-y. Is that intentional? Or would some variety be desirable since this is the general chapter? Tracey Snyder MusLA 7/24/13
126.96.36.199.2.1: Previous version of strawman contained this new example of a contents note for a sound recording, which I think music catalogers will be looking for: Contains: Morgengebet / Arnold Kempkens (3:14) -- Morgendämmerung am Meer / Hugo Alfvén (3:40) -- Frühling in Roslagen / Hugo Alfvén (3:14) -- Landsknechtslied / Bernhard Weber (4:49) -- Schöne nacht / Quirin Rische (2:49) -- Der Geistertanz / Franz Schubert (1:53) -- Räuberlief / Franz Schubert (2:01) -- Trinklied aus dem 16. Jahrhundert / Franz Schubert (1:45) -- Ouverture "Die Zauberflöte" / W.A. Mozart ; A. Lortzing (7:29) -- Landsknechtsständchen / Orlando di Lasso (2:44) -- Das verlorene Liebchen, Op. 27, Nr. 4 / Antonin Dvořak (2:47) -- Liebeslied im Garten, Op. 27, Nr. 3 / Antonin Dvořak (2:39) -- Spatz und Eule, Op. 27, Nr. 5 / Antonin Dvořak (1:39) -- Abendlied / Carl-Ferdinand Adam (2:03) -- Alles nur geklaut / Tobias Künzel (2:57) -- Die heiße Schlacht am kalten Buffet / Reinhard Mey (3:45) -- Diplomatenjagd / Reinhard Mey (4:12) -- Über sieben Brücken / Peter Maffay (3:16). Resource described: Von der Tradition zur Moderne Tracey Snyder MusLA 7/24/13
I would (eventually) like to see an example added to 126.96.36.199.2.3, Accompanying Manifestation that specifically addresses program notes associated with compact discs. I recognize that this may be premature for this discussion paper but didn't want the suggestion to "get lost." An example could be:
- Program notes by Peter Huth and biographical notes on the performers in German with English and Russian translations (46 pages : illustrations, portraits) inserted in container.
Kathy Glennan (talk) 12:30, 24 July 2013 (PDT)
I am still bothered by the fact that instructions say to record appropriate relationship designators from Appendix J, yet the examples never include the WEMI level found in Appendix J. Instruction 126.96.36.199.3.1, for example, says "Record the relationship designator contains (work) (see appendix J.2.4)." The examples that follow say: Contains: The fellowship of the ring …" Is there a reason why WEMI levels keep being omitted in relationship designators in examples?—Dominique Bourassa, CC:DA, July 24, 2013
There are instructions for recording identifiers for related works, expressions, manifestations, or items at 220.127.116.11 (and, in the straw man proposal, in corresponding places at 188.8.131.52.1 and elsewhere). The definitions cited under 24.4.1 (6.7, 6.13, 2.15, 2.19) appear to imply that only an identifier occupying the WEMI level at which the relationship was being asserted would be eligible for inclusion. I think that is a problematical assumption in the real world, where we (in libraries, but not only us) rely heavily on identifiers that are assigned by many kinds of agencies that don't necessarily use a FRBR framework. To take a commonplace example, you might want show that something is a translation of an original – an expression in another language. The only identifiers readily at hand might well be an ISBN, or perhaps an OCLC master record number, both of which denote manifestations rather than expressions. We may eventually progress to the point where expression-level identifiers are readily available, but it seems unlikely that that will happen any time soon. Manifestation-level identifiers are not ideal in this context but they do give a foothold for any desired linking to take place. The utility of the link (the relationship assertion) is severely limited if we omit these identifiers altogether. I'd like to ask the task force to consider ways they could be accommodated. One possibility might be simply to define a WEMI-agnostic element for an identifier.

Comments (pre-Annual 2013)
TF on Instructions for Recording Relationships: Final Report (May 2013)
The task force needs guidance on the discussion questions posed on p.3 of their report, regarding the mixing of WEMI levels: "If the cataloger needs a structured description of a related Work, should she be allowed to add Manifestation details?" (from p.3 of the report). CC:DA members and liaisons, please post your ideas here.
I don't think allowing to add details at Manifestation level to a description of a Work is true to RDA principles or beneficial for the user. If we add information on Manifestation to a description of a Work this would make it a Manifestation of a Work, not a Work as abstract concept, wouldn't it? I agree with the statement in the report that "The cataloger could be dealing with the Work in the abstract, and not with any particular Manifestation". If we use such a level of specificity in the relationship designator (Work vs Manifestation, Work vs Expression, or Work vs Item) then we have to be true to what we describe. Otherwise, why not to use Manifestation in the description?
I think giving Manifestation details might be misleading for users as they will be directed to look for a particular edition, not abstract work.
Larisa Walsh (CC:DA), June 14, 2013
No matter how much you truncate the examples given in RDA and in the strawman proposal of "structured description of a work" and "structured description of an expression," they will still contain elements that potentially reflect details of one manifestation only. Even something as short as "Sibelius, Symphony no. 5 / James Hepokoski" reflects only one manifestation of this work if other manifestations have "Sibelius, Symphony no. 5 / J. Hepokoski" or "Sibelius, Symphony no. 5 / by James Hepokoski." Is it really logically possible to have a "structured description of a work" or a "structured description of an expression"? --Robert J. Rendall (talk) 09:13, 14 June 2013 (PDT)
- To be clearer about this example (from RDA 188.8.131.52), this is a monograph written about the symphony, not a performance of it. --Robert J. Rendall (talk) 07:03, 17 June 2013 (PDT)
One of the things that the TF's discussions reveals is that the cataloger should consciously choose whether to describe a work relationship, an expression relationship, or a manifestation relationship. For example, in the example Robert cites, one might describe a work relationship if the related entity is the Symphony generally, but one might describe an expression relationship if the related entity is a particular performance of the Symphony. Describing the manifestation is the safe choice, as you KNOW that the relationship holds at that level; determining whether all manifestations of an expression or all expressions of a work share the characteristics you are describing is much more difficult.
-- John Attig (2013/06/16)
I agree with Larisa that it does not help to add information about a manifestation to a structured description of a related work or expression. If we think outside of MARC, we might see that these descriptions, eventually, could lead to "live" links to other WEMI records. If you remember the RIMMF demonstration that Deborah Fritz from a MARC of Quality did for us at the last ALA midwinter, when she catalogued first the manifestation, then the expression and work, you can easily imagine that in a record of a manifestation, a description of a related work or expression could lead to a link to the record for this work or expression. For instance, we could have a record of a manifestation with a relationship designator that says: "adaptation of (work): Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616. Romeo and Juliet" that could actually provide a link to the work record of S.'s Romeo and Juliet. If we had manifestation details to the structured description of the work, we make the whole process of creating WEMI relationships pointless and messy.
Robert is right, however, to wonder if we can have a "structured description" of a work and expression. Maybe for the moment the "structured description" for works and expressions should be based on information in RDA chapter 6: Constructing Access Points to Represent Works and Expressions. So for a work, the "structured description" could be as simple as author and title (what we have now in a name/title authority record). The structured description of an expression would be name/title with the added elements listed in 6.27.3. –- Dominique Bourassa, CC:DA, June 17, 2013
I think it's important to note that a "structured description" is not the same as an "authorized access point" (see the breakdown of examples in the current 184.108.40.206). I personally do not understand how to provide a structured description of a work. In Robert's example above, I would almost certainly use either an AAP or an unstructured description to convey the relationship. I believe the same situation extends to expressions.
If RDA is going to continue to contain separate chapters for Related Works, Related Expressions, Related Manifestations and Related Items, then I think that we need to make clear distinctions about the descriptions that are possible in each of these specific situations. - Glennan (PCC) 6/21/13
Comment on use of ISBD Punctuation in the examples (p. 2 of final report):
I think the examples constitute structured descriptions of related resources, so the format of the examples is addressed by RDA 0.10. Changing the format of examples in RDA is a much larger issue than just the chapters affected by this paper. -- Glennan (PCC) 6/21/13
Final Discussion Paper and Constituency Responses
Summary of LC response
We agree with ALA that the re-worded definition for structured description is an improvement, but wonder whether it is correct to refer to it as a 'composite element'; it is our understanding that relationships are not elements.
Two possibilities for further discussion:
1) Consider whether wording should be added to explain that structured descriptions are not really used to describe another work or expression, they in fact are used to provide a structured description of a manifestation that embodies the related work or expression. This approach would borrow some wording from Chapter 17 primary relationship concept "…the relationship between a work and a manifestation that embodies that work."
2) It seems unlikely to us that limiting structured descriptions at a work (or expression)level to only work (or expression) attributes would be very useful to the user. (Prefer #1 above instead.)
We do concur with ALA's contention that choosing the elements that would be most useful in a structured description (full or partial) is difficult.
Tentative Recommendations
- 1. Generally agree that RDA should have instructions in those chapters.
- 2. Agree that the relationship is recorded using a combination of elements, but do not believe that the composite description is an element itself.
- 3. A structured description may be supplemented by a relationship designator, but we do not believe that RDA should necessarily require a relationship designator (sometimes the general relationship such as "related work" may suffice).
- 4. We do not believe that a structured description of a related entity should consist only of elements that record attributes of that entity. We think that a structured description relationship would often be used to identify a manifestation that embodies the related work, expression, etc.
- 5. We agree that information for a few of the types of related entities may be useful, but would not want to see this extended to all of the types identified in Appendix J. Would it be possible to do this with well-explained examples?
- 6. We're not sure we fully understand the recommendation, but generally find that the 'contents notes' should reflect what is found on the resource; if controlled access points are desired, that is a different technique (authorized access points).
- 7. Has ALA considered some connection to a revision of 3.1.4 (Resources consisting of more than one carrier type)? LC/PCC has a policy statement to allow for recording the extent of more than one carrier there, including the ISBD/MARC 21 300$e technique. This use is broader than what is allowed in RDA 3.1.4 as currently written, but is a practical solution. We would encourage ALA to look at this possibility.
Comments on the Strawman:
- 184.108.40.206 - Do not believe that structured descriptions should be
limited to only the attributes of the related entity. If this were the case, elements in Ch. 7 (for works/expressions) & Ch. 3 (for manifestations/items) would need to be added.
- 188.8.131.52.2 - Note that the reference to 6.27.1-6.27.2 limits the use of authorized access points to general works; needs to be extended through the rest of Ch. 6.
- 25.X examples
- These examples show the limited usefulness of restricting structured descriptions only to attributes for works
- The examples also include relationships (i.e., creator), seemingly in violation of the instruction to use only Chapter 6.
- The use of the colon to separate the elements seems confusing, given that the
colon is commonly used ISBD punctuation, but not usually for *this* use.
Summary of CILIP response:
Agree that this needs to be addressed in a general rather than specific context. CILIP believes that the role of application profiles is a significant factor, and that machine-actionable solutions are preferable.
During discussion, concern was expressed at the implications of "how far to go" (recommendation 5) and "which elements should be included" (issue 3) which might cause bloat in the RDA text. There was also uncertainty as to how aggregations could be represented in a neutral way not specific to any particular encoding format or display tradition.
Summary of BL response:
- Agree that additional guidance would be helpful.
- We do not think it is correct to say that the composite description is an
element in its own right, nor do we agree that RDA implies that it is.
- Including relationship designator from Appendix J - desirable, but may not be affordable. Better to permit a non-specific relationship.
- Not in favor of strictly prescribing the components of a structured description.
- Including instructions for specific types of related entities - Concerned about the possible growth of the instructions in this area and the risk of creating case law for specific types of entity.
- Contents notes - Concerned that the recommendation is overly prescriptive.
- Accompanying material statements - Generally agree.
Comments on the Strawman
- 1. The expansion of the instructions for each chapter (rather than reference back to 24.4) is probably helpful to the cataloguer.
- 2. We do not think the new instructions should be more prescriptive than the existing instructions.
- 3. We think that general instructions relating to Contents, Host, Accompanying Manifestation are useful reminders, but we do not believe that they should prescribe elements in detail.

FAA approves Boeing plan to fix 787's batteries
WASHINGTON A Boeing plan to redesign the 787 Dreamliner's fire-plagued lithium-ion batteries won approval Tuesday from the Federal Aviation Administration, moving the cutting-edge planes a step closer to flying passengers again.
The plan includes changes to the internal battery components to minimize the possibility of short-circuiting, which can lead to overheating and cause a fire. Among the changes are better insulation of the battery's eight cells and the addition of a new containment and venting system, the FAA said in a statement.
The FAA statement didn't provide an estimate for when the grounded planes might return to service. Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Wash., who was briefed by the agency, said that if all goes well, the FAA could give final approval by mid- to late April for the 787 to resume flight.
Boeing would still have to retrofit the 50 planes already delivered to eight airlines in seven countries, Larsen said in an interview. That could mean the plane wouldn't return to the skies until late April or early May, he said.
First, Boeing's redesigned batteries have to pass a series of 20 separate lab tests, Larsen said, then flight tests would follow.
"If there's any one test that isn't passed, it's back to the drawing board for that particular part of the tests," he said.
So far, test flights of two 787s have been approved - one with a complete prototype of the new battery, the other with only a new, more robust containment box for the battery, Boeing spokesman Marc Birtel said.
The plan is an outline for a recertification of the plane's batteries, the FAA said. The 787 has two identical lithium-ion batteries, one of which is located toward the front of the plane and powers cockpit electrical systems, the other toward the rear and used to start an auxiliary power unit while the plane is on the ground, among other functions.
Every item that is part of an airplane, down to its nuts and bolts, must be certified as safe before FAA approves that type of plane as safe for flight.
The 787 fleet worldwide has been grounded by the FAA and civil aviation authorities in other countries since Jan. 16, following a battery fire on a Dreamliner parked in Boston and a smoking battery that led to the emergency landing of another 787 in Japan.
"This comprehensive series of tests will show us whether the proposed battery improvements will work as designed," Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said in a statement. "We won't allow the plane to return to service unless we're satisfied that the new design ensures the safety of the aircraft and its passengers."
All Nippon Airways, the largest customer for the plane so far, said in a statement from Japan that it saw the FAA decision as significant progress. "Putting safety as the first priority, we hope to get the planes back in the air as soon as possible," the airline said.
The airliner's troubles have raised concerns that the FAA has ceded too much responsibility for evaluating the safety of new aircraft to manufacturers. To save manpower, the FAA designates employees at aircraft makers and their subcontractors to conduct the safety testing of new planes. Boeing's battery testing concluded that short-circuiting wouldn't lead to a fire and that the chance of a smoke event was one in every 10 million flight hours.
Instead, there were two battery failures when the entire fleet had clocked less than 52,000 flight hours.
The FAA's approval of Boeing's plan "is a critical and welcome milestone toward getting the fleet flying again and continuing to deliver on the promise of the 787," Jim McNerney, the aircraft maker's CEO, said in a statement.

A new site I have been helping with is up and running. try.rakudo.org is a site to let people try out rakudo right in their browser. It connect the browser to an instance of the Rakudo REPL running on the server to let you evaluate any sample code (within reason) you'd like. It has some obvious limitations, anything that takes longer than 15 seconds is probably an endless loop and will be killed and it has limitations on memory usage for the system.
My next goal for the site will be to introduce a tutorial system into the website's interactive terminal. The current plan is to follow along the outline of the rakudo book and build a set of interactive tutorials to teach new users about rakudo, and perl 6 in general. Maybe I can extend it to use other backend but for now its focused on the rakudo backend.
Any questions or comments are welcome. Please feel free to comment on the site and its usability or any flaws you may find.

An ugly cripple fight, but at least we walked away with the 'W.'
I'll take any ugly win. One more win fellas. Lets get it.

Last three are going to be tough. I think we have a good chance against K-State though

Fugly. But a W. One more, one more.
One of the worst college football games I have watched in a long time. Really poor performance by both teams.
However, we did win, and in the past may have found a way to lose this. I will take it.
Sets up a one of the biggest home games in Jack Trice history against
Okie State. I don't see how we can even stay close, but still, absolutely huge game.
Give us two weeks to get ready for it. Who knows. I hope we have a few new tricks for them.
That probably served us better than a blowout. Got the W, and will be hungry against OSU. I already forgot how ugly it was!
The silver lining is we have a field goal kicker who has gained some confidence.
Same scenario as last year...5-4 and needing one win out of the last three to get bowl eligible. The three this year are a somewhat tougher though...

I'm pretty upset that we only won by 3...but I am glad it was a win. I was about ready to pull my hair out the whole game. I guess that is why they have the Bosley commercials.
I think the biggest shock is that our kicking game actually WON us a game
Won on a field goal. That's a huge plus in our history.

US official: Typhoon relief to the Philippines increases
Newscast Media WASHINGTON—Humanitarian efforts to help victims of Typhoon Haiyan are gaining momentum with growing international contributions and strong engagement by the Philippines government, according to a senior U.S. disaster assistance official.
The United States has provided more than $37 million for relief while international donors have committed approximately $193 million, Jeremy Konyndyk testified November 19 before the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on East Asian and Pacific Affairs. Konyndyk leads the Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
"Every day, aid efforts gather pace with the systems getting through to more people," confirmed United Nations Undersecretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Valerie Amos.
Konyndyk said a cash contribution from USAID allowed the World Food Programme (WFP) to immediately purchase rice and canned food in local markets to meet the urgent nutritional needs of people affected by the typhoon. That food was able to reach families faster than if the United States had airlifted food to the devastated areas, he said.
USAID funds also allowed WFP to purchase high-energy biscuits for storm victims. In a November 19 statement, Amos said that, to date, donor-funded food aid distributed by the Philippines government has reached more than 1.1 million people.
Konyndyk said USAID is helping the Philippine Local Water Utilities Administration conduct water facility damage assessments in the provinces of Aklan, Cebu, Iloilo, Leyte, Negros, Occidental and Samar. In addition, USAID partners are providing generators for a water pumping facility and chlorine tablets and water containers to households for treating water.
The Philippines military evacuated severely injured people from Tacloban city, in Leyte, within 48 hours of the storm making landfall. The country's government set up several field hospitals and is identifying where to set up more, Konyndyk said. With additional health care posts set up by relief groups that are providing medical supplies, medicines and medical staff, Konyndyk said the United Nations health coordinator and the Philippines health department both have reported that the health needs of the affected populations are being met and that additional relief should be directed to other needs.
Amos said an estimated 3.2 million women and 4.6 million children need psychosocial support and protection against violence, trafficking and exploitation. Pregnant women and other vulnerable groups also need special care, she said. Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for East Asia-Pacific Affairs Scot Marciel told the subcommittee that the United States is working with the Philippines government to respond quickly to security concerns.

Monterey Community Band Schedule
Monterey Recreation
546 Dutra Street
Monterey, CA 93940
Office: (831) 646-3866
Office Hours:
Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Daily Registration ends at 4 p.m.
After college, Dick Robins joined the army and played with the Third Army Band while stationed in Atlanta, Georgia. A one year teaching assignment at an Atlanta high school followed before Robins decided to work towards getting a masters degree and teaching credential at UCLA. While in Los Angeles Dick mastered the bass, played in night spots, and did some studio work.
Once he had his credential in hand, Dick headed to Palm Springs, where he taught junior high school music for three years. Eventually, after a short sojourn back in the Los Angeles area, Dick came north and took over the music program at Carmel High. The music program at Carmel High had dwindled to about twenty students. During his 13 year tenure at the school, music was placed back into the regular school day's schedule. The program flourished and grew to the point where 17 percent of the student body was involved in some manner when Dick retired in the late 1990s.
While Dick was at Carmel High, the City of Monterey approached him to become the conductor for the Monterey Community Band. Beginning with about 15 musicians, the band grew to its current core of 35-40 members. In addition to leading the Community Band, Dick is an active musician who performs six to ten gigs a month. These performances are mainly on the Central Coast and range from Dixieland to classical.

Small story: I was on a trip to Indonesia, and spent the morning hiking on exotic Komodo Island. When I returned to the ship, I noticed a 3-inch-long, perfectly oval rash on the inside of my arm. I looked it up on the Internet, and discovered my problem: A tree spider, indigenous to the islands, had bitten me and laid her eggs under my skin. "Freaked out" does not begin to describe my reaction. I ran down to the ship's doctor, told him what I had and showed him my arm.

Paxton Automotive Novi 1500 Centrifugal Supercharger Kit - Wind In Your SailsWritten on November 24, 2010 Make Your Big-Block Fly!
So you want more power, but you like the streetability of a compression ratio that allows you to pull into any gas station, and a camshaft with a duration that lets you engine purr like a kitten. Well, Paxton's blow through supercharger kit for 383 and 440 Wedge engines, PN 1201860-1 satin or PN 1201860-1P polish finish, is probably just what you need. The Paxton kit is based around the oil fed, spur-gear-driven Novi 1500 centrifugal supercharger. Under normal driving conditions, this supercharger is designed to operate at 7-9 p.s.i when equipped with a standard 3.875-inch diameter 10 pound drive pulley. Depending on the actual condition of the engine and boost level being used, horsepower gains can be quite notable.
The Novi 1500 supercharger comes standard with the aforementioned 10-rib diameter pulley, although other pulley sizes are optionally available. Also included in the kit are Paxton's twin-billet-aluminum supercharger mounting plates, which feature an integrated manual drive-belt tensioner and alternator mounting provisions. The actual supercharger drive-assembly features a black anodized, six-inch diameter billet-aluminum crank pulley and a 10-rib supercharger drive belt with spacer. This bolts up to the OE two-groove crankshaft pulley and balancer using the provided mounting hardware. Ducting consists of a four-inch inlet duct complete with silicone hoses, stainless-steel band clamps, and a conical air filter. There is also a 3.5-inch aluminum discharge tube, and an aluminum race-type bypass valve with tube and mounting flange. Finally there's a cast-aluminum carburetor "hat" used instead of the conventional air box like the one used on Paxton's 120851/120852 small-block Mopar supercharger applications; a necessary compromise due to space limitations under the hood.
With forced induction, a "boost-referenced" carburetor is an absolute must. For this particular application, a number of carburetors were tried but ultimately, Paxton technicians settled on a Quick Fuel Technology Q-750-BAN/750-cfm blow-through carburetor equipped with annular boosters.
Fuel pressure must also remain constant, so a high performance electric fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator is also required. Paxton also recommends the use of an aftermarket ignition amplifier to not only maintain optimum spark, but also protect the engine from over revving. And lastly, although not shown in these prototyping photos, an aftermarket puller fan or fans is recommended, since the OE fan blade will have to be removed.
"The hardest part about any retro-fit kit is the fact that factories weren't all that consistent when it came to their accessory-drive engine brackets, etc." says Paxton engineer Bob Andress. "Through our R&D program, we have found that there are a number of different style pulleys, alternators, and water pumps used on these early Mopars, which makes building a universal-fit kit like this one quite a challenge. Andress continued. "You also have the issue of all the aftermarket mounting brackets and engine pulleys that are available on the market. Taking into consideration the that most of our Mopar Big-Block customers are street machine enthusiasts-as we doubt that many concours restorers will want to install one of these kits-we've tried to make it as "user friendly" as possible, but those owners with modified Mopar big-blocks MIGHT have to use a little bit of imagination!"*
So, our test vehicle was filled with 91-Octane fuel, and strapped to the dyno. Our baseline test produced the following rear-wheel power numbers; 285 horsepower at 5,300 r.p.m., and 314 lb/ft of torque at 3,000 r.p.m. These numbers are very typical of a basic rebuild of a 440, and just about what we expected. After we added the Paxton kit and fed the big block 5-1/2 pounds of pressure, the power jumped to 417 horsepower at 5,300 r.p.m., and 417 lb/ft of torque at 4,400 r.p.m. No bad for a universal bolt on.
*Note: These photos show the prototyped 440 system. Installation procedures may differ with the production system. Be sure to follow the Paxton installation manual you get with your kit.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
To assemble the crankshaft pulley, a total of six bolts are inserted through the counter bored holes on the pulley spacer and through the factory water pump pulley and into the engine balancer using liberal amounts of blue Loc Tite. These bolts must be tightened in a crisscross pattern.Next, six 5/16-18 bolts are used to install the 10-rib supercharger-belt pulley onto the adapter, again using liberal amounts of blue Loc Tite.To drain the supercharger's lubricating oil back into the oil pan, Paxton supplies this fuel pump block off plate with barbed fitting. You need to upgrade to an electric pump anyway, and this makes returning the oil to the crankcase very easy.Installation of the kit's mounting bracket comes next, and is accomplished by attaching the bracket to the now-unused alternator mounting hole in the head, and points on the water pump housing. Note in this picture that the alternator is relocated to the bottom of the bracket. In some cases, the wiring may need to be lengthened.Setting up the belt tensioner plate is next. First comes the installation of the tensioner adjustment screw, tensioner arbor and locater block. The installation of the idler pulley comes next. At this juncture, the jam nut is left loose enough to allow for final drive-belt adjustment to be done later.Prior to installing the supercharger on the bracket, hook up the oil drain-back line, routing it to the fitting you installed at the fuel pump location. It's easier to do it now, instead of after the supercharger is installed.After connecting the drain back hose, lower the supercharger into the mounting plate, and bolt it fast.
Next is the installation of the factory accessory-drive v-belt and the tightening of the alternator.Don't forget, when using forced induction on a carbureted system, you MUST have a carburetor that is designed as a blow-through carburetor.Now install the supercharger bypass-valve to the air discharge-tube, and then the air discharge tube to the air hat on the carburetor.

People that are quick to advise you to complain to animal control don't have to live there, after all these are your neighbors and you want to keep things copasetic.
If they are not receptive to your warnings about hypothermia, the only thing you can do is let the dog in if you are around and continue to try to educate them.
Calling animal control could cause major problems for them and may break down communications altogether.

I just came across this page which has instructions on how to turn a google maps route into a GPS file of GPX format.
Its great because you can convert a google maps road route into lat long coords and thus extract the road real data from google maps. I'm working on some GPS code and need to test some paths through it and its hard work to manually set it all up so getting paths along proper roads is great. Its particularly useful right now cos you can edit the route in google maps with their nice n easy drag interface so I can force the road just where I want it.

Well folks, ten days tell kick off. Time to put your votes down.

Still haven't solidified my prediction. Early thoughts are that it's going to be a rough season, even though the team will be better. 6-6 is optimistic, but 4-8 realistically.
I fully expect them to prove me wrong, though.
Go Sssssssssyclones!
Would the mods please make it 2008/2009, thanks.

Or change it to "How many ISU Regular Season wins in 2008?"
That said, I voted for 5, but I smell what you're cookin'.
I'm with Airwalke.... I'm being optomistic here with 6... but I'm probally sipping some Kool-aid (last season taught me to temper the optomism some...)
Oh we will fight, fight, fight for Iowa State,
and may her colors ever fly!!!
In Accordance with Prophecy
Well, there's at least one person who is not only drinking the Kool-Aid by the gallon, but also brewing it.
6 is not optimistic in my opinion. In fact, I think 6 should be the over/under.
A three legged dog walks into a bar and says, "I'm lookin' for the man who shot my paw."
4 wins... better than last year.

6+ wins...no doubt.
ISU will stand out this year.....much like the photo below.
Carrying the banner for ISU.
I'm also a Cyclone kool-aid junkie.
But that aside, I could actually see the 'Clones starting off with a 5-0 or 6-0 record.

ISU fans are the greatest in the world. All they ask for is hope and the belief that we have a chance to win every time we step on the field - Johnny Majors (paraphrased)
Ya gotta have the horses, man - Johnny Orr.
If we only win 4 games with this schedule I will be absolutely disappointed.
O/U = 5 or 6
Worst case is 3-1 non-conference IMO.
If we can't win 3 more games with TT, OU and Texas not on the schedule then that will be hard. That is why going 4-0 could be very key to the season.
This is standing out!Attachment 2871
There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders. And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.
What is the official O/U from Vegas for our wins this season?

Today at the Impact 2011 conference in Las Vegas, we caught up with a few IBM Cloud Computing Business Partners who discussed their cloud solutions and they work with and extend the capabilities of the IBM Cloud.
Check out these 5 minute quickfire interviews from IBM Business Partners Aviarc, Servoy, Corent, CloudTrigger, CohesiveFT and Kaavo during the Cloud Hour at Impact.
First up was Aviarc's CEO Shane Mercer discussing how cloud offers a new way to socialize and collaborate. Aviarc has a solution that allows you to go back in time in the development environment. Shane talks about how customized solutions may be more cost effective than packaged varieties. Extremely cool!
Jonathan Madden, Senior Business Development Executive at Servoy then gave us the quick view of their work with ISVs and organizations on producing cloud applications in record time. 'The advantages of cloud are clear' said Madden. We're right there with you Jon.
Then Corent's CEO, Feyzi Fatehi spoke about moving forward in the software business and how software-as-a-service is the way to go. He further discusses multitenancy and how successful companies brag about this. Want to know what 'faux saas' and 'smart saas' are, you'll have to check out Feyzi's interview to get the low down.
Up next was CEO Lonnie Wills from CloudTrigger who discussed application development in the cloud and moving applications to the cloud. 'IBM IS the cloud'...'IBM represents everything that cloud is' says Wills. I couldn't have said it better Lonnie.
Ryan Koop from CohesiveFT was up next and discussed their IaaS offering that handles image creation and management as well as virtual networking. CohesiveFT was a runner up for one of our IBM Beacon Awards based on their usage of IBM developerWorks to drive business results. They had some pretty substantial results from using IBM developerWorks and we were happy to collaborate with Ryan and Pat Kerpan to help ensure success using our communities and forums.
And finally, Sam Somashekar, Vice President, Marketing and Business Development from Kaavo told us about Kaavo's solution and how it enables customers to manage IT resources across public, private and hybrid clouds in the context of applications and workloads. Their solution allows a top-down management approach which is great for disaster recovery scenarios and so much more. Sam told us his thoughts on social media since that was a topic discussed in an earlier session at the conference. 'Social media has to be reckoned with... it can be positive or negative...' says Sam.
The Business Partners that were interviewed during Cloud Hour today are working towards their enrollment in a new initiative IBM announced in February for Business Partners who want to collaborate more closely with IBM to win in the Cloud. The new initiative called the IBM Cloud Computing Specialty is a PartnerWorld initiative that was launched to bring together the IT industry's broadest ecosystem of companies providing a wide range of cloud computing services and technologies. We are thrilled to work with these partners!

Top 4 Tips for Refinancing your Home
1. Check your credit rating. Before you do anything, make sure you check your credit rating. Refinancing, like any mortgage these days, can take a lot of work and a lot of time - spare yourself the pain of a rejection by checking your credit scores before submitting your refinance application. A low credit rating can affect the interest rate, as well as the availability, of any refinancing. (Financial Planning Association)
- Check your free credit report for errors: If you find mistakes such as incorrectly spelled surnames, wrong street addresses or inaccuracies in your job history, write a letter to the credit bureaus and ask them to fix the errors.
- Pay down high balances: Paying off some debt can help burnish your credit credentials.
- Opt out of pre-screened credit card offers: Opting out of credit card offers also prevents phone or e-mail harassment from other mortgage-loan and refinance companies. (Bankrate.com)
2. Do you have more than 20% equity in your home? Considering price drops around the country, how much equity do you really have? It's going to be hard to refinance at the best rates if you're below that 20% number. Do a bit of research before you pay for an appraisal on the refinance. Tools like Zillow.com and Trulia.com can give you an estimate of the value of your home, or a trusted real estate agent can give you a ballpark figure. Also don't extend your mortgage to save money. Although banks advertise rates on 30 and 15 year mortgages, chances are they'll issue you an odd-year mortgage (for example, a 27 year mortgage, if you've been in your current mortgage for 3 years). It's worth asking. Do whatever you can to not extend the number of years you'll be paying. If your bank won't do this and you'd still like to refinance, take the lower payment. (http://www.upperlinefinancial.com/2011/07/refinancing/)
3. Have a good idea what your home is really worth. A drop in your property's value may prevent you from being able to refinance. So do a little research and find out what properties, similar to your own, have been selling for in your neighborhood. If those amounts indicate that you may have little or no equity left in your property, you may be unable to refinance without putting additional funds down, even if you would otherwise meet a lender's mortgage qualifications. (Financial Planning Association)
- The more equity you have, the better your interest rate: Eventually you will need an official estimate of the value of your house, but having a general sense ahead of time can help you with your shopping.
- Check out the open houses in your neighborhood: Take a look at the real estate section of the newspaper so you get a ballpark estimate of what your house is worth. (Career and Money)
4. You are not obligated to stick with your original lender, check out the competition to compare local and national refinance rates. You can do this on bankrate.com and use a mortgage refinance calculator to calculate the optimal choice. Rates are at historical lows, but the gap between the best and worst deals can be as much as a full percentage point, according to HSH.com. You should also check with lenders in your area, and ask friends and relatives where they got their mortgages and whether they'd recommend their lender. (SmartMoney.com and Msn.com)

Who knew that Spore would be so controversial?
First there was the DRM madness that has enraged so many gamers. Now an apparent creationist site refers to Will Wright's long-awaited game an "attack on Christian values."
Anti-Spore (there is some speculation that the site is a hoax) went live just a day after Spore's September 7th release. The site's opening post sums up its focus:
Yesterday I found out about a new game called Spore when my son asked me to buy it for him. It looked innocent enough at first and has "E for Everyone" ESRB rating. But don't be mislead, apparently "everyone" means everyone they want to teach evolution to.
This entire game is propaganda aimed directly at our children to teach them evolution instead of creationism, or "intelligent design" …
I decided that Electronic Arts needs to hear from concerned people such as myself that this sort of game is not acceptable, and created this blog to find support and share information and progress with anyone who feels the same as I do.
Indeed, the domain name, which is private, was registered on September 8th. The anonymous author claims to be a wife and mother and writes that she has received hate mail and death threats over her Spore views.
The site also tosses in this small bit of politics:
I got a message from the supposed mayor of McCamish, KS [a suburb of Kansas City]. Claiming that he will make sure the game is kept out of their store. I have no way to verify the info, though.

A visit to Canal Walk Shopping Centre is not a visit to Canal Walk Shopping Centre without stopping for at least one American corn dog.
The corn dog is arguably America's most popular 'meat-on-a-stick'. It is made by taking a delicious sausage, impaling it on a not-so-delicious stick, covering it in corn flour, and obviously deep frying it until it has a beautiful, golden brown colour. Try a peanut butter cup and a very American Dr Pepper or Cherry Coke with it and you'll feel as close as can be to the stars and stripes.
This wacky take away outlet is situated right in the middle of the food court and is open 24 hours - very American indeed. This little gem is something to experience.

The menu pamper with a myriad of dishes such as ratatouille with buffalo mozzarella and pesto, roasted pepper soup that captures every spice and flavour, and a blissful yellowtail with leek cream sauce.
Atlantic Restaurant captures the beauty, elegance and un-spoilt setting that will make dining at this establishment an unforgettable experience.
Azar's décor and interior are an experience on its own; the half bubble chairs and uneven walls, and Oriental design and cushions are a pleasure for any eye. The fine dining restaurant lends itself to a more casual approach yet still retaining unsurpassable food and service. The Oriental and Mediterranean cuisine is a superb treat!
Combine contemporary and vibey, add great splashes of colour and a crowd pleasing menu and you have the recipe to what makes Beads restaurant tick. Beads is conveniently situated in the centre of town, making it an easy, if not irresistible, stop for after work drinks and eats.

Cyclones Ready For NCAA Outdoor Championships
AMES, Iowa - Seven members of the Iowa State track and field program will take the track this week at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. The national meet will be held at Oregon's Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon.
The Cyclones at #NCAATF are…
Christina Hillman. Hillman enters the championships as the No. 2 overall seed in the women's shot put after posting the top mark at the West Preliminaries at 57 feet. The Dover, Delaware, native has won three of four competitions this outdoor season, never finishing lower than second, and has posted scoring marks of over 55' in every outing. The two-time Big 12 champion improved her own program record at the conference championships with a mark of 57'8.5" and will be looking to defend her NCAA title from this past indoor season (2014 indoor).
Edward Kemboi. The four-time Big 12 800-meter champion will look to take the top spot on the podium after a runner-up performance at the indoor championships. Kemboi is coming off a dominating performance at the West Prelims, where he clocked the region's top time to secure the No. 3 overall seed going into the national championships. The three-time All-American has posted two sub-1:48 performances on the season, running his fastest time of the year at the Mt. SAC Relays (1:46.14). Kemboi holds a career best of 1:45.98, running the time at this year's ISU Classic (indoor), and has run as fast as 1:46.06 outdoors.
Katy Moen. Moen is one of just five student-athletes to qualify in both the 5,000m and 10,000m at this year's championships.

Moen notched career bests in each of her regular season races as well, posting times of 4:22.51 (1,500m), 15:56.53 (5,000m) and 33:56.80 (10,000m). She ranks at No. 8 in the 1,500m, No. 6 in the 5,000m and No. 7 in the 10,000m on Iowa State's all-time lists.

Ejiro Okoro. Okoro ranks at No. 4 in program history on the women's side of the 800m, clocking her outdoor best this season at the Payton Jordan Invitational in 2:04.49. The two-time All-American ran to Big 12 titles both indoors and outdoors in and has broken 2:05 twice on the 2014 outdoor slate. The Birmingham, England, native is a two-time All-American in the event and is Iowa State's indoor record holder at 2:03.91. She will be competing as the No. 14 overall seed. Okoro will be competing in her fourth career NCAA track and field championship, qualifying twice both indoors and outdoors.
Ese Okoro. Ejiro's twin sister, Ese ranks No. 8 in the NCAA in the 400m hurdles with a career best of 56.78 seconds, clocking the time at LSU's Tiger Classic. The Cyclone senior will be competing in her third-consecutive NCAA championships in the event and has posted sub-58 seconds in seven of her eight performances this season and has run sub-57 twice. Notching three event titles in the outdoor season. Okoro was the Big 12 runner-up in the 400H and ranks fourth in program history. Ese enters the meet seeded No. 18 after qualifying sixth out of the west region.
Ese (400H) and Ejiro Okoro (800m) both rank in England's top-10 in 2014, ranking No. 3 and No. 9 in their respective events.
Kelly McCoy. McCoy has improved her personal record five times over the 2014 indoor and outdoor seasons in the women's high jump. McCoy's most recent PR came at the NCAA West Prelims, where she cleared a height of 5'9.75" (1.77m) to earn a berth at the national championships. With the performance, she moved up to fourth on the program's all-time list. McCoy is just the fourth women's high jumper to qualify for the national championships in program history, and she will look to notch add another PR to the list, entering competition seeded at No. 17 overall.
Jan Jeuschede. Jeuschede notched top-5 showings at both the indoor and outdoor conference championships in the men's shot put and took ninth at the West Prelims to earn his spot in the NCAA field. The Rosrath, Germany, native posted a career best at the Jace Lacoste Invitational, hurling a distance of 60'9.5" to rank No. 4 on the all-time list.
