Ripple Layette Crochet Pattern
Dress your new little girl or boy baby like an angel with the beautiful Ripple Layette Crochet set. Designed by Maggie Weldon, the Ripple Crocheted Layette Crochet Pattern takes antique stitch crochet patterns and adapts them for today's best crochet thread to create these crocheted detailed patterns. While the sample shows this sweet set in a pink color for a girl, you can choose any color yarn to make this set for either a boy or a girl. The crochet pattern includes instructions for the sweater, booties and baby bonnet. All pieces coordinate with each other using the same ripple design that gives the pieces flare. Add a different color to the edging and string ties for a finished and polished look. You are sure to love making these heirloom pieces that can be handed down from generation to generation.
The Ripple Layette Crochet Pattern is a baby crochet set that stands out above the rest. The heirloom ripple design gives all three pieces in the set a traditional appearance that you won't find elsewhere. There are so many reasons to fall in love with the crochet sweater, booties and bonnet. Choose the color that best fits the child, whether it is a boy or a girl. There is no reason why this layette should be made for only a girl.

Nice little landmass so far. I like the subdued colours and the overall feel of the piece.
So who when you say that the squares are 50 mi.². Do you mean each square is seven points something miles by seven points something miles? Or do you mean that each square is 50 miles x 50 miles? (Actually 2500 mi.²) Looking at the map I think you mean the latter, because that would make your landmass about 850 miles across. This would seem more appropriate.
There would be huge amount of terrain variance in a 50 x 50 mile square. So anything you draw in their is only going to be a general feeling for what is in the space rather than getting to specific and detailed.
for instance in the city I live there it is an urban sprawl about 70 miles x 50 miles. Within that area there are lakes, suburbs, towns, forests, a bay, mountains, farmland, hills, about 100 rivers and creeks and so on.

The UN Biodiversity talks in Hyderabad, India, saw an overall consensus on the urgent need for more and better managed funds to reach the targets but countries have failed to agree on the exact amount needed to ensure their successful implementation.
"The lack of agreement on public funds required to conserve biodiversity and save the natural world highlights the need for innovative ways to seek support from other sources," says Julia Marton-Lefèvre, IUCN Director General. "We've seen good progress towards achieving the targets we set two years ago. These efforts now need to be urgently scaled up with adequate funding from all sources if we want to avoid failure."

Joan and I left Los Angeles on the "Windstar Express" carrying a load of chocolate at about 6 am on Friday morning headed for our favorite chocolate show—The Fourth Annual San Francisco International Chocolate Salon held at Fort Mason. We knew that we had won several more awards that had been pre-judged and already announced. On the trip up, I spoke with my editor, Geoff Stone, about the new adventures of Old Ed—an editorial device that is another way to describe some of my world travels in search of great chocolate to be featured in the upcoming Ed Engoron's Choclatique by Running Press.
After checking in at the Hilton on Fisherman's Wharf, we met up with my brother Roy and chef Wayne, fielded telephone calls from clients, customers and the office and finally took some time to have a great dinner at North Beach Restaurant and then to bed to prepare for the morning onslaught of chocolate lovers. The alarm went off at 5 am and it was up and at 'em to set up for the salon. The doors opened and we served nearly five thousand pieces of chocolate and sold many more between 10 and 6. Then it was time to break everything down and pack up. Before collapsing for the night, we had a horrible dinner at Castagnola's on the wharf—disgusting food and despicable service. After all, it is a tourist trap. What were we thinking?
Sunday morning we were on the road back to Los Angeles, arriving at 3pm, just in time to get caught in the Los Angeles Marathon traffic. When I got home, I had just enough time to change and repack my suitcase for two weeks in Portugal.
Monday morning Joan and I arrived at the office at 7am and spent the whole day taking care of everything that we didn't do the week before while preparing for our client meetings in Lisbon. It was an all nighter on Air France to Paris and another two and a half hours to Lisbon. We had just enough time to check into our hotel rooms, clean up and meet our client for dinner.
I brought samples of CHICKS and Chocolate Almond Butter Toffee Bites—our best in show toffee. The next morning it was back-to-back meetings for nearly 12 hours. Our clients like to get their money's worth. We visited Colombo, a beautiful upscale shopping mall for dinner before retiring for the night.
The next day and each succeeding day it was store visits, kitchen inspections, checking the competition and eating lot of traditional Portuguese food from the far north to the south like Duck Rice, Cozido (don't ask) and Bacalhau. Bacalhau is made from salted Icelandic cod. The Portuguese claim that there are 1001 ways to make Bacalhau, but oddly enough, none of the recipes include chocolate.
On Monday we headed up to Braga near Porto to see their newest hyper store—a 3-hour drive in each direction. The entire trip was peppered with chocolate from Hustle, chocolate mousse from Pingo Doce and other chocolate delights from flans to brûlées and from truffles to tablets—everything chocolate.
The last day was preparing for a board meeting in a picturesque fishing village, Ericeira, about 30 minutes outside Lisbon. Many Portuguese families have summer homes there and why not… it is just what you would think Portugal should look like. We feasted on a lunch of Tiger Prawns, locally-caught steamed prawns, and char-grilled Dorado which my client claimed tastes just like lobster. It didn't, but was good just the same.
The board meeting was cancelled at the last minute, but undaunted, my client and I found time to check out two more supermarkets and then find a great pizza joint that served wonderful Italian wines, fantastic chocolate tiramisu and a wheat berry cheese cake, better than Mario Batali's; you can find my recipe in the recipe section of our blog. The only thing that would have made it a little better would have been a drizzle of Choclatique Prestige Milk Chocolate. Oh, by the way, the wood-fired pizza was pretty terrific, too.
So, after over two weeks on the road, here I am on Flight 063 Paris to Los Angeles, writing my adventures before I forget any of the details. Tomorrow it will be business as unusual (as it always is) and, of course, no day is ever complete without a visit to the Choclatique Chocolate Studios and a tasting of our latest production. This job is tough, but someone has to do it. Welcome home, Ed!

Parade of Home Technology
Media room, whole-house music and iOS control
You might think that luxury home builders would know exactly what they wanted when it came time to get a luxury control and entertainment system installed in their own home. The owners of this home knew they wanted music throughout their new house. A media room with a big screen was also high on their wish list, but they depended on their custom electronics pro to guide them to the best solutions.
The decision to go with WeeBee Audio Video in Lancaster PA was an easy one. As home builders, Sara and Dave Costello, of Costello Builders, had worked with Lee Rambler and WeeBee several times in the past for client homes. They'd seen the home theater systems he installed, and knew it was time to get a system like that for themselves.
Rambler began working with the Costellos on this system from the early conception stage, so WeeBee was able to get in and do important pre-wire work before the walls were finished. That was critical because with 14-foot ceilings and a lot of features built from reclaimed barn wood and beams, wiring after the walls were finished would have been difficult, "but not impossible," notes Rambler.
For an example of a Total Control system in a retrofit home, go here.
Custom homes like this always come with their unique challenges. In the media room, for instance, HVAC ducts prevented the projector and screen from being centered just the way they wanted it, so Rambler suggested building a false wall to reorient the room somewhat. WeeBee also framed an extra section of a closet to accommodate a subwoofer, then added a false HVAC vent for the sub.
Aside from having a great system to enjoy in their home, the owners also wanted to include the house in Lancaster's Parade of Homes event. A professionally-designed media room would be a real attention-getter.
The control system Rambler recommended for the Costello's was URC's Total Control. He liked that it was all IP-based and easily scalable to different sized homes and complexity levels. The homeowners were attracted to the iOS interface since they had iPads and iPhones with them nearly all the time.
The heart of the house is the Total Control MRX10 processor. That's the unit that ties together all the other systems, including the main media room, additional TV locations, whole-house music system, lighting and thermostat.
In the theater room, the owners watch all their video sources, such as Blu-ray and DVR, on a 92-inch Dragonfly screen which is filled by a Sony SXRD projector. Audio processing and power come from an Integra receiver, and the room's speakers are from Episode.
To get music piped around the house, WeeBee used a Total Control SNP1 streaming music player and a Total Control DMS1200 multizone amp. The family mostly uses Pandora as their music source via the SNP1, but satellite radio and stored iTunes music can also be played.
Beside the main media room, the home includes another full-surround sound room. In the great room an LCD TV mounted above the fireplace is the focal point. WeeBee had to use some creativity to hide all the speakers, since large windows and reclaimed barn beams didn't leave a lot of places to mount in-walls. The subwoofer, for example, is hidden under a stairway.
The entire integrated system can be controlled by any of the family's iOS devices. A wand-style URC remote is also available in the media room for when the family prefers more traditional buttons.
The entire home project took about 9 months, but WeeBee's part was 6 days, including programming.
The Parade of Homes event, by the way, was a big success.

New research shows 4-H makes a difference
What do Faith Hill, Julia Roberts, David Letterman, Temple Grandin, Reba McIntire and Hershel Walker have in common?
Each is an American icon. Each is known to be a consummate professional. And each was active in 4-H when they were growing up.
Over the years, 4-H has provided millions of youth with opportunities to develop their leadership, citizenship and life skills that have helped them become community leaders, successful professionals, astronauts, entertainers, professional athletes—whatever they dreamed.
Now, findings from a recent study led by Richard M. Lerner, Ph.D., professor at Tufts University, confirm that young people in 4-H Youth Development programs do better in preparing to be productive and contributing adults than their non-4-H peers. Youth involved in 4-H experience high levels of positive youth development and are more likely to contribute to their families and their communities.
The study, sponsored by National 4-H Council in Washington, D.C., is the first-ever longitudinal study to measure the characteristics of positive youth development over an eight-year period of time. It involved more than 7,000 participants in 44 states, including Colorado, and measured the impact that personal and social factors have on a young person's development. The study also compared 4-H to other out-of-school-time opportunities for youth, including Boys and Girls Clubs, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, YMCA and Boy/Girl Scouts.
Overall, researchers are finding that involvement in 4-H makes a more significant difference in many areas of positive youth development than other youth development programs. Colorado 4-H Director Jeff Goodwin notes that the 4-H program makes a positive difference in the lives of more than 100,000 Colorado youth each year. "We have always known that 4-H is good for kids, families and communities," Goodwin said. "Here is strong evidence to support that fact."
Participating in high-quality youth development programs like 4-H plays a critical role in helping young people achieve success. "The 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development confirms what we have always believed to be true; 4-H in the community contributes to a stronger community," said Donald Floyd, Jr., president and CEO, National 4-H Council.
"New information about positive youth development provided by this study will ensure that 4-H continues to support young people's growth into successful, contributing members of their communities," he said.
Study findings show that compared to their non-4-H peers, young people in 4-H are:
—more likely to report better grades, higher levels of academic competence and an elevated level of engagement at school.
—less likely to engage in risk behaviors, such as drinking, smoking and drug use.
—two times more likely to plan to go to college.
—more likely to pursue careers in science, engineering and technology. Girls in 4-H are more than twice as likely to participate in science, engineering and technology programs as their peers.
—3.4 times more likely to delay sexual activity by Grade 12.
—2.3 more times likely to exercise and be physically active.
—3.4 times more likely to contribute to their communities.
"This research adds to the body of evidence of the positive impact 4-H can have on the life of a young person," Goodwin said. Information regarding Colorado 4-H Impact Studies can be found on the Colorado 4-H website, along with more details of the Tufts Study, at www.colorado4h.org/research_impact.
4-H is a community of more than 6.5 million young people across America learning leadership, citizenship and life skills. National 4-H Council is the national, private sector, non-profit partner of the 4-H Youth Development Program and its parent, the Cooperative Extension System of the United States Department of Agriculture.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (USA Today) - House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, was handed a stunning defeat late Thursday by members of his own party who refused to support his "Plan B" to avoid the year-end "fiscal cliff" that threatens to send the economy in to a recession.
GOP leaders worked intensely Thursday to build support for Boehner's two-pronged legislative effort to cut spending and extend current tax rates for all but those earning $1 million or above, but they could not convince enough Republicans to vote for the proposal in the face of what was expected to be unanimous opposition from Democrats.
Boehner's failure to move his alternative plan through the House, as well as the current impasse with the president on how to address expiring tax rates and impending spending cuts, has thrown negotiations to avert the "fiscal cliff" in to disarray just 10 days before it hits.
In a brief statement, Boehner said his plan "did not have sufficient support for our members to pass" and he put the onus to avert the "fiscal cliff" on Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.
Boehner summoned his rank-and-file to a meeting late Thursday where he opened with the Serenity Prayer and informed his members that he did not have enough of their support to move forward. He told lawmakers that he would reach out to President Obama to determine the next steps. Lawmakers were told they could go home for the Christmas holiday. No votes are expected in Congress before Dec. 27.
"This was our attempt to lead," said Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill., who supported Boehner's plan. "Clearly we were not able to do that. So now we're going to have to respond to whatever the Senate is able to do."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., supports President Obama's proposal to let tax rates expire for those earning $250,000 and above. In negotiations with Boehner, the president agreed to $400,000 and above, but it is unclear how the GOP's failure Thursday to approve their own tax plan will affect ongoing negotiations.

BLM releases Southine EIS scoping report
The Bureau of Land Management recently released the scoping summary report for the proposed Southline Transmission Line project, ending the 90-day scoping period for the project environmental impact statement.
BLM and Western, as joint lead agencies in the preparation of the EIS, held six open houses in New Mexico and Arizona in May during the scoping phase. The scoping phase gives the public the opportunity to learn about a proposed project, share concerns and provide comments on what potential impacts should be analyzed in the draft EIS expected in 2013.
Major concerns discovered during the scoping process included the NEPA process and BLM's management plan amendment, wildlife impacts and socioeconomic impacts.
Southline Transmission, LLC, proposes to construct, operate and maintain a 360-mile, high-voltage power line from Afton, N.M., to Saguaro substation northwest of Tucson, Ariz. About 240 miles would be new construction of a 345-kilovolt line on mostly BLM land while the rest would be an upgrade to an existing Western line. If completed, the line will add 1,000 megawatts of transmission capacity to the southwest.

Villanova, PA (Sports Network) - JayVaughn Pinkston scored 19 points, leading
four players in double figures, as the Villanova Wildcats delivered a 75-65
win over the Delaware Blue Hens in a non-conference meeting at the Pavilion.
Also scoring in double digits for the Wildcats (7-4), as they won their third
straight and the fourth in the last five outings, were James Bell with 14
points, Daniel Ochefu 11 and Darrun Hilliard 10 points.
Leading the way for the Blue Hens (3-8) were Devon Saddler and Jarvis Threatt
with 19 and 15 points, respectively, as the team suffered a second straight
defeat and the seventh in the last eight outings overall. Jamelle Hagins
accounted for 12 points, eight rebounds and four steals for the visitors,
while Kyle Anderson chipped in 10 points as well.
In the first half the teams experienced five ties and just as many lead
changes, but thanks to a late layup by Pinkston the Wildcats moved out to a
32-28 advantage at the break. Delaware trailed at intermission despite
shooting 52.2 percent from the floor.
The Blue Hens made only nine total field goals in the second half, connecting
on just 2-of-8 beyond the arc, which allowed Villanova to put together a
couple of small scoring runs to pull away for the 10-point win.
The Wildcats controlled the glass with a 43-27 rebounding edge, with 20 of
those boards coming at the offensive end of the floor.

More than 20 boats sail to IUCN World Conservation Congress
05 October 2008 | News story
Twenty-one boats from different parts of the world sailed with the joint mission of carrying their message to the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Barcelona, Spain.
The Sailing to Barcelona boats carried one simple message: we can and must protect our oceans, seas and coasts. Each boat will be moored at Barcelona's old harbor until 9 October, illustrating to visitors what can be done to protect the extraordinary blue world that covers more than two thirds of our planet.
Sailing to Barcelona is an action-oriented initiative, where participants will showcase their contributions to the protection of marine and coastal biodiversity. Sailing boats, research vessels and environmentally-friendly ships will be the powerful tools used to visually communicate this action.

Framework, algorithms and experiments in Social Information Retrieval (SIR) incorporating models of trust and reputation and notions authoritativeness and popularity, and their relations to relevance.
Project overview
Recently the fields of information retrieval and social network analysis have been bridged by SIR models, which extend conventional IR to incorporate the social context of search and recommendation. A particular aspect of SIR is the modeling of the trust and reputation of the members of the social network, which is then typically used for enhancing recommendation systems.
Our goal in this project is to understand the role of trust and reputation in a search scenario and to develop a comprehensive SIR framework, consisting of hybrid social and data networks, where relevance is modeled in terms of the trust propagated through the network. Our current research focus is on trust propagation mechanisms that differentiate between authoritative and popular approvals of an information item.
- Our paper, presented at CIKM 2008, won Best poster prize.

Dear In Need:
This answer may disappoint you, but a foolproof set of interview questions that accurately measures cultural fit doesn't exist. It if did, the level of voluntary separations and terminations attributed to lack of fit would be much lower than it is. For example, a well-publicized study by Manchester Consulting notes that 40 percent of senior leaders fail within the first 18 months on the job.
What's the reason behind my high degree of skepticism? First, to define a single corporate culture is difficult. Within one organization, the culture may vary widely from location to location and even from department to department, depending on that function's utility to the company as a whole. For instance, sales teams are typically rewarded based on individual revenue goals. On the other hand, down the hallway, project teams in research and development departments are often rewarded based on how well they collaborate to develop new products. The cultures within two departments within the same company may be diametrically opposed—as they probably should be!
Secondly, consider another dimension of corporate culture: It's often "aspirational" rather than a reflection of current reality. Pick a large corporation and take a look at the way its human resources function describes the culture. Then ask a friend who works there what it's really like. Does the company's description line up with reality?
There are exceptions, of course. Companies such as Zappos, Apple or Google lead with well-defined cultures and are able to attract a very specific type of candidate as a result. But even within those companies, it's not uncommon to see deep cultural chasms between the "techies" and the "business folks."
Having now set your expectations rather low on the certainty scale, there are certain behavioral interview questions you can ask to evaluate whether the individual is likely to be a fit—with an emphasis on "likely." The questions should center on the candidate's track record. Ask the candidate to describe what things have worked for him or her in the past: You will get a sense of the type of environment in which the individual can succeed. Asking situational questions (e.g., "What type of environment are you most comfortable working in?" "If you got to pick your next boss, what would he/she be like?") enable you to learn a lot about the individual's ability to fit in. Another great way to gauge fit is to watch the person interact with potential future colleagues during preliminary meetings around the office or over lunch.

Here's some behind-the-scenes video of Rafael Nadal at the commercial shoot for sponsor Kia I posted about yesterday.
I've decided LiveAction Rafa is my fave.
In other Rafanews, Babolat has released a video from the supposed LIVE CHAT with the Mallorcan Matador that few fans were able to attend. They say proof is in the puddin' but this doesn't show me anything. In fact, I still don't get the idea of "pre-registered questions" for a live chat. WTF?
Rafa's PR flack, Benito, might want to let go of some control.The questions and his answers are getting a bit boring now.

I'm a "long time reader, first time poster" but I most say that I'm really getting bored with Rafas interviews. I would love if he just could answer som LIVE questions without thinking about how his answers will be interpret. In my opinion it would be a lot more interesting.ReplyDelete
Ps. Pardon my english

A lot more interesting, perhaps. But a lot more stupid.ReplyDelete
How can one NOT think how one's answers will be interpreted? Only mental patients do that.
And Federer.
OMG! I love his smile! but tooo much makeup!...... what is Rafa's deal digging his buttcrack again? He's wearing jeans! lol..... he needs to get his jeans specially made for him, his a$$ is too big for almost everything he wears! good? bad? hmm.... GOOD! lolReplyDelete
....and for the questions, he should be asked the same question as Enrique Iglesias: "lights on or lights off?" ahahahahaha......JK! =P
Maybe it would be stupid but it would atleast show som personality. An interview with a mental patient would probably be a lot funnier to follow :PReplyDelete
still no proof and im with u etern and rich on the interview thingReplyDelete

I have googled, binged, and asked ill I am blue in the face. I see Salt it. Don't salt it. freeze it, don't freeze it. just keep it cold. So I am lost and wanted to see what you guys had to say.
I will be back in the mountain and may take me 5 days to get to a taxidermist, may take 2 to get to a cooler. If I get an elk that I want to put on the wall what do I do? Sorry I am a newbie to this and want to make sure I do it right.
Can I cape it, leave the skull and put in a cooler in a platic bag with ice for a couple of days? Do I need to remove the skull and cape the whole thing? I really don't want to salt it, because I doubt I have the paitence or skill ot remove everything necessary to do that. (face, ears, lips, eyes along iwht getting the meat and fat off) But if that is what I need to I will, I just don't want to screw it up.
If I could get it the hide and skull to a cooler would that buy me some time?

Hello all !
One of my customer is migrating from ZCS 5 to 7 this week and he's got a BES server with ZCB 6.
I'vs got several questions about this :
1) After his ZCS migration, he wants to update ZCB version to 7, it will work directly or does he have things to do ?
2) Is it possible to migrate users (~200) from old bes to a new one (fresh install) and steps to do it ?
3) Some .zdb are very large : ~10gb on BES and ~4gb on ZCS, is this normal ?
4) Some deleted users are still in deletion queue on BES, .zdb are still there and I don't understand why ?
Thanks for all and have a good day !

I have selected "save a copy in sent folder" in composing mail preferences, but my sent folder is empty. I use gmail, and the messages do get sent, and show up as 'sent mail' in my gmail account when I access it online. However, the Zimbra desktop Sent Folder remains empty.
I saw other posts on this here, but never found a solution. Is Zimbra simply not suitable for use with gmail?

I installed Zimbra yesterday and when I added an account I originially tried to add my hotmail account using the "Windows Live" drop down. When I put it all my information it gave me and error and said that I needed permission to connect to hotmail. So, I read the forums and added my e-mail account using the POP specifications. It worked and my e-mails were able to sync, but now I am not recieving nor sending any e-mails.
Please help!

How to Start A New EngineWritten by Douglas Glad on March 1, 2009 Contributors: John McGann Don't Burn Your Eyebrows Off With A Brutal Backfire. We Show You How to Start a New Engine the Right Way.
It's been nearly a year since our '67 Buick GS 400 ran. We had just added an Air Ride Street Challenge system and were driving it home when we heard a strange noise that got worse when we revved the engine. That noise turned out to be several bad rod bearings that had eaten their way through the journals of the crankshaft. We shipped the engine off to JMS Racing Engines, where the mill was rebuilt and a set of Edelbrock heads were added. Now that we have it back, it's time to make this sucker run again. Stabbing the engine is the easy part, but what about the initial start-up? It seems simple enough, but if you blow it, you'll likely start a fire, kill your battery, or both. Watch and learn.
Trouble Shooting
These are some common new-engine problems and their likely causes. We've made these mistakes so you don't have to. Enjoy!
|Engine backfires and will not start
|Distributor 180 degrees off
|Distributor one tooth off
|Crossed spark plug wires
|Engine will not idle
|Retarded timing
|Vacuum leak(s)
|Lean A/F ratio
|Out of gas
|Engine idles high
|Choke fast idle is on
|Idle screw screwed in all the way
|Linkage is bound
|No return spring
|Noob's foot is on the gas pedal
|Engine cranks slowly
|Overadvanced timing
|Dead battery
|Loose battery cables
|Bass-heavy hip-hop playing on stereo

The Buick 400 was dyno'd after it was built, so we know the cam and ignition timing are right. If your engine was not run on a dyno, you will want to line up the mark on the balancer with the timing tab on the engine block. We usually line up the mark with the initial timing setting-in this case, 15 degrees BTDC. To make sure the engine is on the compression stroke, pull off a valve cover and make sure both No. 1 rocker arms are loose or peek into the spark plug hole and look for the top of the piston. On most domestic non-Cadillac V-8 engines, the cylinder that is the farthest forward on the block is No. 1.The next step is to prelube the engine by spinning the oil pump. The best method is to use an old distributor housing that centers the shaft on the pump drive. Since we didn't have the original, we removed a shaft from a Chevy points-style distributor and cut off the rotor end.The new tool can be chucked into a drill and used to spin the oil pump and pressure-lube the engine. Just make sure there is oil in the crankcase first. Watch the oil pressure gauge or the rocker arms for oil to know when to stop.With the oil pump primed, you can drop in the distributor. We made a mark where the No. 1 spark plug wire is when the cap is on and used it to line up the rotor. The cam gear and distributor gear are helical cut, so you'll need to line up the rotor about 1/2 inch counterclockwise (finger points) of the final mark so the rotor rotates into the correct position.Now that you have spark, you will need fuel in the bowls. The preferred way is to fill the front bowl with a small funnel until you can see fuel in the bowl sight. The other way is to crank the engine with the coil power wire disconnected (not the secondary wire, the power wire) and the throttle closed until fuel squirts into the primary venturis when you push the accelerator pump lever.Once the fuel bowl has fuel in it, reconnect the coil and use a small screwdriver to lightly seat the idle mixture screws and open them one turn each.I am wearing my sister's socks.Since this engine has a roller cam, we didn't need to break it in. If you have a flat-tappet cam, you'll need to run the engine between 2,500 and 3,000 rpm for 30 minutes. It is important to start the engine and get the rpm up quickly because the only source of oil for the cam lobes is oil slung off of the rotating crankshaft. Some cams require that you remove the inner valvespring or use break-in springs. Check with the cam manufacturer to see if this is necessary. Have someone sit in the car and watch the oil pressure and water temperature during this procedure.Check the initial timing below 1,000 rpm, rev the engine until the timing stops advancing, and check the total with a dial-back timing light. For a naturally aspirated engine, we like 12 to 15 degrees at idle and 36 to 38 total, usually in before 3,000 rpm.With the timing set, let the engine idle and turn each idle mixture screw about an eighth counterclockwise until the engine reaches its maximum rpm. If you don't have a tach, you can use a vacuum gauge connected to a manifold source. This procedure will ballpark the idle mixture. The best way to get the A/F ratio perfect is to use a meter from a company such as Comp Cams or Innovate.
The last thing to do is set the idle. Make sure the choke is completely open so the throttle is not sitting on the fast-idle cam and turn the idle screw until the engine idles between 800 and 1,000 rpm. Cars with radical cams might like 1,000 to 1,200.

It is appalling that there is no hard and fast rules, that are enforced in France concerning finds such as this, how many remains have been destroyed and lost forever, and how many more will suffer the same fate.
Could not contact either the CWGC or the Australian Embassy at the weekend, sounds like the situation here in the UK. The Police should have been informed immediately but that of course may have happened. It is a sad fact but this is how the found dead are generally excavated in France. To the best of my knowledge there does not exist any official body who will take charge of the exhumation using the best archeological methodology. It remains the responsibility of the finder to undertake such work and we should be grateful to the individuals involved for this. The CWGC in France apparently employ a person described as an Exhumation Officer whose task it is to oversee such recoveries but I personally have never read a report where this person has become involved. The whole question of the exhumation and removal of the dead is a complete mess particularly in France although I believe that more formal and official arrangements now operate in Belgium. If you think this is bad what about the SIX British soldiers discovered in Beaucamps-Ligny in 2009 who were also subjected to the same treatment.

Norman, the system in Belgium works to a certain extent, but could do with some tweaking, i understand your comments concerning the "local people", most are honourable and have sincere motives, however some are not so, robbing remains of any relics found on them, thus stripping their immediate chances of id, and in some cases re burying the remains so that their "work" goes unknown.
Willy, I agree with you entirely. The sad fact remains that if it were not for the efforts of local people as mentioned in the newspaper article then there would be no guarantee that such remains would even reach the stage when they can be buried with honour. There is in France no other system in place and initial exhumation of the fallen is completely reliant on the skills and dedication of the locals. Much discussion has taken place on the forum with regard to this situation and I frankly see no improvements forthcoming the foreseeable future. This is even more regrettable when you consider that the use of DNA testing has been so successful in the case of the Fromelles fallen, so much so in fact that I would suggest that where the remains allow it such samples should be taken and retained as a matter of course in case sometime in the future the possibility of identification arises.
May I reiterate that I believe that the whole method of recovery and attempted identification of the fallen in Belgium has been updated recently to a much better system. Any right-minded and concerned person will see that a more formal and accountable system of retrieving the remains of our (British/Commonwealth) dead is urgently needed in respect of France for that is the least that we can do to honour their sacrifices.

Regarding finds in France, i believe as has been previously posted here, the finder should report to the police, once satisfied they are not from a likely crime, they can be removed by any means and handed over, there is no law to state that a full archaeological survey and recovery has to be carried out. With expensive machinery and workers stopped from working, the chances are a blind eye may be turned in some cases and work continues!
I believe in the UK (this, from watching Time Team) that if archaeological evidence is found on a site, the site owner is responsible for paying for an archaeological survey.
Is this the case in France?
If so, I can understand that land owners would be unwilling to contact anyone if evidence of a body is found. But then they would have to live with knowing that they are keeping someone from possibly being identified and correctly commemorated.
What about the gendarmerie in Albert, was that closed too?
I just spoke to Paul Daley who is at Heathrow about to come home.
He assures me that both the embassy and CWG were closed and that the blldozer would have continued its work irrespective of the find.
As for the glorious dead, Paul believes that he is about to be handed to the French Police,(still in the hessian bag).
This is ridiculous....

Apparently they were shut!, first port of call should have been the police.
'Hopefully now his identity will be returned'.
Good luck!
Surely journalists should know better. First port of call for this fool in these circumstances should have been the Australian consulate who would be well versed in such matters and have been able to provide him appropriate guidance.
Posted 17 January 2011 - 11:14 am
I feel you are all being far too harsh and quick to libel a pair of honest and caring men. A bulldozer had uncovered these remains and, from past experience, we know that it would very likely have ploughed them under again. M. Zanardi is, I believe, a Battlefield Guide and well-versed in the required procedures. Contacting the Mayor of the municipality would certainly constitute the "authorities" and it is hard to see what even the Mayor could do on private land in the face of a 'dozer driver determined to carry on his paid work. Zanardi and the Mayor effectively shielded the remains with their own presence and were at least able to recover what remains they could. Placing the remains on hessian sacking was perfectly respectful (what would you have, white linen?) and practical under the circumstances. What did you do with the last military casualty you handled? No, it's not the best battlefield archaeology - but it's better than the bulldozer would have done. I feel that it's also inappropriate to doubt the Mayor's word that he couldn't raise the Australian Embassy on the weekend. If you've ever tried to raise any embassy on the weekend, you'll know that it can be impossible - especially in these days of "leave a message after the tone". Please ease up Pals - and be careful about libelling good people. Antony
And were it not for Dominique Zanardi, the soldier would probably have stayed anonymously beneath the sticky mud of the Somme for an eternity.
Zanardi found the soldier's partially exposed body in the drainage ditch late last Friday.
He recovered some of the bones immediately and the rest with us the next day.
Unable to contact anyone from the war graves commission at the weekend, Zanardi and the mayor of Pozieres, Bernard Delattre, were planning to remove the body from the site today to prevent it from being reinterred by the bulldozer on the site.
Mr Delattre, meanwhile, had tried unsuccessfully to inform the Australian embassy in Paris at the weekend that a WWI Digger had been found near his village.

Khmer Belief – Wearing Thread Bracelets
If you ever been to Cambodia, you might have noticed that most Cambodians both man and woman, young and old are wearing color thread at their wrists as bracelets. Have you ever want to know the reason?
Well, wearing thread bracelets have been a tradition or custom of Cambodians since long time ago. In the past, the thread bracelets people wore were made of white raw thread that obtained from the Seima ceremony.
In Cambodia, about 95% of populations are Buddhists and there are more than 5000 Buddhist monasteries or pagodas or Wats all over the country. This is means each village built their own Wat as their religious center. The structure of a proper Wat must have a building of main sanctuary or we call it as Preah Vihear (Viheara). And there are certain ceremonies before and after the Viheara is built. The Seima ceremony is performed after the construction is completed. It's usually takes 3 days, villagers and monks gather together to prepare the ceremony. This ceremony is made to grant divine spirit and made Viheara home of God which will become a sacred place for villagers to make their praying to God. On the day of the ceremony, white raw threads are use to tie around the Viheara and the monks will keep inciting Dharma every night. Until the third day, the white raw threads (in Khmer we call it seima string) are cut off and share to all as protection object. It's believed that the threads have power to chase out all evils. People wear it as bracelets, children wear it as necklaces.
Until now seima string is still considered as sacred item and people still wanting it. However, seima string is obtained whenever there is a new Viheara is built only.
Nowadays, the thread bracelets people wear are not only the white raw thread but mostly are colorful. Some are purely red, green, and some are mixed of five or seven colors in a bracelet. These colorful thread bracelets are now received from senior monks of particular who people believe they can grant the divine power into the bracelets to protect them from evil spirits which possibly bring them misfortunes. After a period, the old bracelet must be replaced with a new one as the protection power has its limited life span.
The string is also attached to the steering-wheel of cars or motobikes for the same belief is for safety while travelling.
When you visit some religious tourist sites in Cambodia where there are Buddhist shrines, you might have seen a tray full of the readymade string bracelets which mostly are pure red. The nuns or old lady who are at the shrine may invite you to have some of these strings, in return they expect from you some money. If you take the bracelets and give them some small money, then this is just a kind of donation or charity only, but the bracelets have no protection power as the one offered by senior monks.
The practice of wearing thread bracelets in Cambodia might be judged as a superstitious practice, however, it's really protect one who believe in it.

we are evaluating to deploy zimbra in our organization. We have ~200 mailboxes, 50 of which are blackberry users (OS 7, not the new 10).
What are your experiences with this size of deployment? Are we going to have many headaches?
Is the BB connector still being developed, are new features (like syncing more than 1 address book) planned?

Video: Video of the crime scene in Columbia, Illinois.
Columbia, IL (KSDK) - St. Louis County police, Columbia, Illinois police, and officers with the Illinois State Police Crime lab are near the intersection of Rueck Parkway and Lovell Landing in Columbia, Illinois after capturing two suspects that fled from south St. Louis County.
Chief Joe Edwards with the Columbia Police Department says around 6 p.m. a St. Louis County officer noticed a white truck in the parking lot of the Walmart on Telegraph Road was registered as stolen.
A man and woman were sitting inside the truck, and as the officer got out of his vehicle to question the suspects, they began to drive, and tried to run over the officer.
The suspects then drove eastbound on Interstate 255 into Columbia, Illinois.
Columbia police officers put out spike strips, and the suspects crashed the car behind a home on Lovell Landing.
There was then an altercation between officers and the suspects, and St. Louis County officers fired shots at the suspects.
The suspects had a weapon, but never shot at the police.
Both suspects were apprehended a short time later, and are currently held at the Columbia Police Department.
Two officers had to be checked out by paramedics, but were determined to be okay.
The suspects are expected to be charged Tuesday.

WASHINGTON – Food fans, hold on to your beaks.
Chicken skin is the latest culinary craze to hit the foodie circuit.
In fact, one Chicago chef even serves a chicken skin salad and chicken skin with onion seeds, among other combinations.
The crunchy snack is selling for about $4 per pound in stores and in some cases, $5 per order in restaurants.

1969 Dodge Super Bee Timber Wolf Project - The Final CountdownWritten by on December 1, 2007 Contributors: Randy Bolig The Final Countdown
Our giveaway project is back at the Mopar Muscle shop and being assembled. Don't forget to sign up for the drawing at TWSpeedshop.com, and maybe you'll be the new owner of the project Timber Wolf Super Bee!
If you've been following our latest project, you know we're working with the Timber Wolf Speed Shop to build a very nice '69 Super Bee that will be given away to a lucky winner. Although we began this project with a complete, very solid car, we won't say the build has been completely trouble free. Though the car's paint looked ok, it was poorly applied and had to be stripped completely from the car before we could coat it with Diamont FY1 Top Banana paint. The engine was another issue. while our car's engine ran when we got it, the motor was a high-mileage unit and needed a complete overhaul, so we decided to make some performance improvements along the way.
This month, we'll assemble the engine of our Super Bee, install it, and begin the time-consuming task of reinstalling the trim and interior components. To assist with our project, we enlisted the guys at Auto Instruments.com to refurbish our gauge cluster. Classic Auto Air also pitched in, rebuilding our car's factory airbox and installing an all-new air-conditioning system under the hood of our Bee. YearOne provided the parts we needed to make this car show-quality. As far as the engine, we enlisted the help of Auto Performance Engines to perform the machine work on our factory block, and then assembled it ourselves with parts from Mancini Racing and Comp Cams.
We haven't finished our project yet, but we're making good progress. Follow along as we finally get the main components of our project in place, and work on some of the details that will make this a great street/strip car.
You could win this car or one of five other classics at the Timber Wolf Speed Shop.
Go to Twspeedshop.com for details.

With the paint applied, we rolled project Timber Wolf back into the Mopar Muscle shop to be reassembled.Auto Performance Engines cleaned and inspected our block, then treated it to an .030-inch overbore and line honed the main journals before installing all new cam bearings and freeze plugs. We'll be assembling this engine ourselves with new parts from Mancini Racing.The cam we installed is a Comp hydraulic flat-tappet unit that should provide a broad torque curve and good power at a streetable rpm.We recommend using a dial bore gauge or micrometer and telescoping gauge to check oil clearances, but if you don't have those precision tools, a set of dial calipers will work. Our clearances were right in the middle of the tolerance, so we were ready to assemble our 383.Flat-tappet cams require special break-in lubricant to protect the lobes when the engine is started and broken in. Comp also has break-in additive, which we'll add to the oil before start up.The windage tray was missing from our car's engine, probably because someone either couldn't get it back in with the engine in the car or because they only had one oil pan gasket after dropping the pan for some reason. We had an extra at the shop, so we cleaned it up and installed it.
We decided to use an Edelbrock Air-Gap dual-plane aluminum intake manifold, which should work great with this combination.After installing the engine, our project car is beginning to look a little more finished. Wanting to hear the engine fire always motivates us to keep working on a project.Our new Hooker headers are a tight fit and will require the use of a mini-starter, but the performance improvement will definitely be worth the trouble.To make this a more enjoyable ride, we're installing Hushmat insulation panels under the carpet and inside the car's body panels. This will keep road noise and vibration to a minimum.By adding Hushmat to the floors and inside the doors, we insulate the car's cabin from both road noise and the outside environment.Hushmat does not require complete coverage of the area. They recommend approximately 60-percent coverage.Our YearOne carpet set went in next, primarily because we'd rather lie on carpet than steel when installing the rest of the interior!Auto Instruments.com did a great job of restoring our gauge cluster. look for an article on the complete overhaul of our car's gauges in an upcoming issue.
In a factory air car like ours, Classic Auto Air rebuilds the stock airbox but uses all new hardware in the engine bay. A Sanden compressor is utilized and is much more efficient than the original RV-2 compressor, and is compatible with R-134 refrigerant.The Classic Auto Air air conditioning is efficient and looks cleaner in the engine bay than factory air when the hood is raised. Look for a future article covering the entire installation.

Average Customer Review: based on 2 reviews.Rating: DSR KEN REVIEWS NEW SCUBA PRO WRIST COMPUTER
Doed this have inderwater switching between air and the two programable NITROX gas mixes?
Hello Tom, Thank you for your inquiry! The Uwatec by ScubaPro Aladin 2G Air / Nitrox Dive Computer Watch dive computer can only be programmed for 1 gas mixture at a time and it CANNOT be changed "on the fly", meaning you cannot change the program while underwater. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-17/009345/ScubaPro-Aladin-2G-Air---Nitrox-Dive-Computer-Watch.html Please note: No dive computer can be changed while under water. If you have any questions or wish to place an order, please call us at 1-800-247-2822.
I have a 2 gauge console w computer integrated. It is the aladin prime uwatec. I continually have to replace the battery. Maybe get two dives per battery. Looking to replace the computer. Is the uwatec universal in size? It says it can be used as wrist or module. Can you advise me if this will fit my console? Again the console is a uwatec. Thank you.
Hey mate, could you tell me if I need to order the infered USB kit to transfer to my laptop or will the 2G transfer the data direct? Matt
Hi, this may be is a silly question but what is "Wrist Mount Add $26.00" And the Watch come as the picture ? Also I am from New Zealand, I can put a order to send this diver computer to New Zealand ? Thanks in advance.
Im looking at this for my first computer, and in all the what to look for guides about buying a computer, everything says to look for if the computer retains memory if/when a battery dies. Does this computer retain the memory? Is that even still something you have to worry about? Thanks.
Most all dive computers have at least a brief memory when the battery is removed in order to retain the information during a battery change. If the battery dies, normally it would be longer before a new battery is installed than the reserve power lasts. For the most part, for most people, it isn't a big deal.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) --- A sudden breakout of dancing bodies launches the start of climate change discussions at the World Bank.
A flash mob gathers inside the World Bank Main Complex, James Wolfensohn Atrium on Friday evening.
Bankers dance to the choreography and video projection designed by University of Maryland School of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies with faculty members Adriane Fang and Jared Mezzocchi.
The dance includes a large group of bankers in the World Bank Atrium who begin a dance movement, and then pull off their banker's suits to reveal long white tee-shirts beneath.
Each of the white tee shirts then becomes a screen that bears the video projection design show about the "changing the way the person sees the world" idea.
Mezzocchi's previous projection design work has appeared in Washington and New York theater.
The flash mob is part of the kick-off of the Connect4Climate: Right Here, Right Now - an evening to celebrate creative youth engagement in the effort to combat climate change.

Balance, defense key for VSN
(Page 2 of 2)
In their previous game, the Lady Spartans closed a double-digit deficit at Island Trees down to three with 1:20 remaining before falling short in a 43-37 decision. Brianna Wilson (19 points) sealed the outcome for the Lady Bulldogs, who led 26-18 at halftime. "She's having a great season," O'Connell said of Wilson. "We had the game in our grasps. We've played a lot of good quarters this season, but I'm still waiting for a full 32-minute game."
Contreras added nine points and Danielle Evangelista had five for North, which closed December on a three-game winning streak including back-to-back major comebacks against conference foes. O'Connell's squad erased an 11-point deficit after three quarters against West Hempstead for a 43-37 win, then rallied from 12 down with just eight minutes to go to knock off Clarke, 40-38.
"We had 21 points in the fourth against West Hempstead, and 20 points in the fourth against Clarke," O'Connell said.
Senior Dana Morgante had 14 points and five assists in the win over West Hempstead that saw the Lady Spartans go on an 18-0 run in the second half. Against Clarke, Contreras hit two free throws with nine seconds remaining to break a tie. Junior Chelsea Alexander-Taylor had a big effort with 10 points and nine rebounds.

Yes, they're controversial, those roadside memorials placed near the spots where loved ones were lost to crashes.
I understand concerns about the crosses and other monuments proliferating and perhaps posing hazards of their own. But can you imagine anyone taking it upon himself to pluck up and haul off memorials that have stood for years in honor of young people who died far too soon?
Cindy Mattson of Rohnert Park is heartbroken and incredulous that the stainless steel memorial to her 17-year-old daughter, Nicole, and a second young woman has been removed from alongside Valley Ford Road.
"They just took everything," Cindy said.
The sculpture of twin crosses was well off the highway in the area where a horrendous, three-vehicle crash caused by an inexperienced teen boy on Labor Day of 2004 killed Nicole, a softball star at Rancho Cotate High School, and 20-year-old Jessica Liparini of Petaluma.
Whoever ripped out the memorial left a handwritten, laminated note that tries to sound official. It declares, "This structure has been removed by the S.M.C.R.A. Safe Motor Cycle Riders Association.
"The structure is illegal and dangerous. Consider a motorcycle from either direction hitting an ice patch and sliding out of control. Or a police officer enroute to a call at high speed.
"We are sure the persons who erected this had not thought about this and surely to not want this to happen.
"Numerous attempts have been left here asking for removal. Please do not re-erect."
Nicole Mattson's mother said that as far as she can tell, this was the first communique from whomever removed the memorial sculpture.
And she's aware that a nearly identical note was left at the spot along Highway 128 near Winters where someone has hauled off a memorial to Santa Rosa-born Tim Casson, 25, a former Montgomery High student killed in a 2002 crash caused by a drunken driver.
The monuments for both Nicole and Tim had been in place for years when they were plucked up and carted off. Said an anguished Cindy Mattson, "I would just like to have the crosses back."

Our general interest e-newsletter keeps you up to date on a wide variety of health topics.
The human brain has about 10 billion brain cells. Each brain cell can have as many as 25,000 connections with other cells. Messages, which direct many functions throughout your body, travel through your brain from cell to cell, through these connections.
For these signals to move from a sending cell to a receiving cell, they must cross a small gap called the synapse. Chemicals called neurotransmitters, located at the ends of the sending cells, help the signal cross this gap. Serotonin is one such neurotransmitter — a very important one that helps regulate mood, emotions and other body functions.
After the serotonin has done its job, it's reabsorbed by the sending cell and is soon back in position to help with the next nerve signal.
If you have depression, you may have a serotonin imbalance. Your overall level of serotonin may be low, and some of it may be reabsorbed too soon. As a result, communication between the brain cells is impaired.
An SSRI, or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, is a medication designed to help increase the amount of serotonin in the synapse by blocking its reabsorption.
As serotonin builds up, normal communication between cells can resume and your symptoms of depression may improve.
