|Church organist Louise Worley still making music after 62 years
|Written by Darci Tomky
"I love it," was the only way Louise Worley could describe her passion for playing the church organ, and this passion is what has driven her to 62 years of commitment to church music. She was recently honored at Zion Lutheran Church in Holyoke for her years of dedicated service.
Worley began piano lessons when she was 9 years old, but never touched an organ until one Sunday in church. The minister's wife and regular church organist was ill that day, and 14-year-old Worley was asked to fill in on the organ. She and a friend took turns playing songs for that church service, helping each other pump the pedals on the old pump organ in the church balcony.
That day started it all. Worley was head organist by the time she was 15 and was playing on a regular basis. Other than time away for college and having children, Worley has been playing at Zion Lutheran ever since.
Because she knew how to play piano, organ playing came fairly easily to Worley. She explained some differences between the piano and organ are the use of the pedals on the organ as well as holding the keys down and using a cross-over motion with the fingers instead of lifting them up off the keys.
"It takes so much patience when you start out," said Worley. "But the congregation just has to go along with you when you are learning."
Worley has studied organ with Mrs. Niehaus and Dr. Christensen among others. She learned both classical and hymn music which she can alternate during church services.
After learning on the church's pump organ, Worley played on two different electronic organs at the church. In 1978, they installed the seven-rank pipe organ with 535 pipes from Vaughan Organ Co. out of Holdrege, Neb. Worley still plays this organ today, alternating with Diane Rahe.
One of the biggest time commitments is picking out the music each week, but Worley says she enjoys it and likes to practice it on her organ at home.
For her, playing the organ is relaxing and a good way to get her mind off other things. She likes how the organ can produce so many different sounds as opposed to the one sound produced by a piano, but Worley noted organ playing has become somewhat of a lost art in today's world.
After 62 years of service to her church, organ playing became more than simply a hobby for Worley. She is still very much excited and energetic about being the church organist and said she will be playing for as long as she is able.

Governance. Risk and compliance on the iPad
Erwin Boeren 270002C43V firstname.lastname@example.com | | Tags:  openpages grc ipad solvency reporting | 0 Comments | 1,672 Visits
With Cognos 10.1.1 released you must have noticed the ability of having your reports and dashboards on mobile devices like iPad and iPhone.
With these mobile capabilities CROs (Chief Risk Officers) will now have the ability to measure risk from their mobile devices. For volatile risk areas like Market and Credit Risk this can make a huge difference.
IBM developed a risk monitoring system for CROs where one single version of the truth is provided of different risk areas like Credit Risk, Market Risk, Counterparty Credit Risk, Liquidity Risk, Basel II, Solvency II and Operational Risk. Not only does a CRO have the ability to monitor all these risk areas but he can also monitor the correlation between those risk areas and he is able to respond immediately to changes. Responses can immediately be formulated in the integrated social media platform.
One version of the truth and guaranteed quality of your data is simple to say but how do you govern this? This is where IBMs investment in data models starts to pay off. Since decades IBM develops and maintains data models for financial services including out of the box technical and business definitions. This enables organizations to come to one definition of risk over the entire organization. Taking definitions centrally will add value in the process of taking down the silod approach we spoke about in earlier articles. It will also help you in the accountability process of the business. Finally it is the business that should own the business definitions.
As discussed in our previous published blog (The convergence of GRC and Performance Management) Business Analytics capabilities like risk forecasting, risk adjusted profitability calculations, scenario planning and predictive risk analysis are part of this risk monitoring system called FIRM (Finance Integrated Risk Management).
The new regulation for Insurance companies, Solvency II requires organizations to plan their risk assessments and capital requirements 2 to 5 years ahead and to reflect impact on financial positions when a risk materializes. All this means that an integrated approach to risk management is a must. In next blogs we will go deeper into the Solvency II regulation.

Mikael recently published a set of 49 pictures called 'Bicycles: Cyclists Signalling* a Turn or a Stop', 48 of which he took in Copenhagen, 1 in Amsterdam. Two examples, one of a stop & one of a turn:
Given the similarities of our two bicycle cultures (which also includes drinking habits), I figured I could match that, so I roamed my archives and found out I had the opportunity to top that figure by 1..call it symbolism :) (and I'll get to cycling & drinking some other time).
As you obviously figured out on your own, Amsterdammers & Copenhagenianerannersuskjuians (freely translated from a Dane's mouth chewing on raw herring with pickles) have the signaling in common, but the Dutch don't do and have never done the stop sign. We don't miss that, what we have works for us. Stopping just needs a little anticipation, a quick scan of your environment and it's fine to do so. No fuss. Or...you could just argue that the Danes are more polite, in conversation (less blunt) and in this case, regarding gesturing to their fellow human beings - leaving out the middle finger phenomenon. But...then you could counter that the Dutch are more laissez-faire, no-nonsense. Which in turn are generalizations that probably have some truth to them, but don't do little nuances any justice. Nuances like that people on bikes in Amsterdam are so intuitive in traffic, they don't need to read a whole lot of body language to see what's going on or going to happen. [...] Oh right, 'body language'. No no no, I'm not even touching that sexist filth called 'Cycle Chic'. Ugh, what is he on, right?!? People in normal clothes on normal bikes (or vacuum cleaners, as he calls them) going from A to B, chatting about livable urban utopias and what not. Pff, you're not fooling me. Anyway. For those who can't be bothered to take a look at the rest of my specially arranged photo set, here are a few more:
Oh wait, about that 'cycling & beer' thing;
It's not my kind of beer, but it is my town & exactly my spirit. Now, can somebody direct me to Copenhagen's equivalent? :p * 'Signalling' is British spelling. Mikael is half Canadian, half Dane. 'Signaling' is North American spelling. My girlfriend is from the US...yup, that's my excuse.

I guess you meant the Wing Commander movie.
That movie that flopped...had some neat ideas and great props. In the intro to the movie though they were talking about the pilgrims, and they had starcharts that looked like they were done in old school style. I really liked these maps, I would love to duplicate this but they are not quite clear enough in the intro to give a good idea of the full sheets. Has anyone made old school maps of stars similar to old ocean maps? (i believe this is what they were in that intro)
I guess you meant the Wing Commander movie.
LOL, I was wondering the same thing because there is some 50 cent/DeNiro movie out as well by that name. Not much for maps in that I don't imagine
When its over and you look in the mirror, did you do the best that you were capable of? If so, the score does not matter. But if you find that you did your best you were capable of, you will find it to your liking. -John Wooden

lol yes Wing commander, beginning credits.... man my brain is slow today
There was a challenge entry a while back that was a planetary chart in a very cool antique-like style. I can't remember for the life of me whose it was, but I think that month's challenge was all sci-fi, so it shouldn't be too hard to narrow it down if you go looking for it.
A Planisphere of Her Majesty's Martian Colony
It's not really any more a star map than a map of Earth is, though it does have a little bit of information on orbits in the insets. The stereographic projection it uses is used for real star maps, but they are intended for finding objects from a relatively fixed location (like Earth), not for navigation between stars.
Nope, that's not the one. Lemme see if I can dig it up…
Here's one in a sort of Victorian style, but I don't think it's the one I was thinking of: http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...hlight=orbital

Inspired by the Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Systems Act of 1973, which sought to give all individuals equal access to emergency medical services, the first EMS Week was established in 1974, when President Gerald Ford declared a week in November to be "National Emergency Medical Services Week". Reestablished by The American College of Emergency Physicians in 1982, EMS Week was moved to October, then ten years later shifted to May in order to separate it from Fire Prevention Week.
EMS workers show dedication to their communities through service, and are some of the first people to answer the call in times of distress. During EMS Week, honor them for their commitment and say thanks for providing care you can count on. From backpacks and bags to water bottles and tech chargers to t-shirts and lapel pins, our recognition gifts highlight the importance of EMS workers as well as the sacrifices they make to put others first and keep our communities safe.
EMS Week also offers a great opportunity to educate your community on emergency preparedness and the importance of safety. At open houses and EMS service presentations, provide essential tips adults need to keep their families safe with magnets, first aid kits, exclusive Pocket Pals and more vital emergency tools. Build community visibility further by adding your name to many of our educational products and incentives. It's a lasting, impactful way to promote EMS services & the 9-1-1 system, boost responder morale and even recruit volunteers.
Prepare for open house success with kits featuring our best-selling items at special savings, and make an impact in school classrooms, libraries and community centers with special Value Kits organized by grade. You can help children understand and appreciate the life-saving role of EMS professionals and remind them to be safety smart with economical giveaways such as educational activities books, EMS helmets, bookmarks, stickers, pencils, tattoos and more.

A Day in Papua New Guinea
Papua New Guinea
Aaron Petty and his wife, Vanessa, served as Peace Corps Volunteers in Papua New Guinea. They lived with a group of people called the Hagahai. These people have only known the outside world since 1983. The Hagahai live in the province of Madung, deep in the rainforest. The following is from a letter he wrote about a typical day for them in Papua New Guinea.
This is our typical day at Yilu, the name of the village where we live:
We wake up at 6:00 with the sun, the rooster, and everyone else. It's really impossible to sleep any later, but sometimes we try. We have breakfast, and enjoy the cool of the morning.
At 8:15, we go to the radio (no phones at Yilu) and talk to our boss here in Goroka. We don't always get through -- the static gets pretty bad when it's cloudy or raining.
At 8:30, we start school. We teach in a two-room schoolhouse with a thatched roof. We have one class that is learning to read and write, and basic math. Our other class is starting to learn English and more advanced math.
School ends around 11:30, and we go back to the house to hide from the sun. We cook lunch on a kerosene stove, and then play games or read until the temperature becomes bearable outside, usually around 2:00.
In the afternoon, we usually "story" a lot. This is a big pastime in PNG. Storying involves sitting around talking about what you've done that day, what you'll be doing later, and how your family is. This can take hours. As you can see, family and personal relationships are very important here.
The Hagahai also make earrings from things they find in the rainforest, and we often help with managing quality control, although we are trying to teach them as much as possible so that one day they can do this on their own.
We also carry in soap, salt, matches, and other small luxuries, which they sell in a small community store. This is their only source of outside goods -- no hopping in the car and going to the mall for them. We help the storekeepers with their math and record-keeping.
Around 4:00, we go to the river to "waswas" (wash). The river is about a five-minute walk from our house. There's no hot water, but believe us -- we don't miss it! We also get drinking water from another stream close by, but we don't need to do this every day.
We spend the last light of day on our porch, washing dishes and, you guessed it, storying. Around 6:30, it gets too dark and the mosquitoes get too mean, so we light our lantern and go inside to cook dinner.
We listen to the news on shortwave while we cook, and then after dinner we relax for the evening and prepare for the next day.
So, this is our day -- much slower and less stressful than the average day in the U.S., but we love it.

Former Lauderdale County Justice Court Clerk, Victoria Neely, was sentenced for embezzlement Thursday. She pleaded guilty to the charge earlier this year.
Mississippi State Auditor, Stacey Pickering, says Neely fixed tickets by taking money for fines and then having the tickets dismissed.
Neely received a 10-year sentence, but seven years were suspended.
Neely was initially scheduled for sentencing Aug. 2. However, officials with the district attorney's office in Lauderdale County say Neely's attorney asked for the delay because he had not read through a pre-sentencing report.

A Valuable Part of the Team
Late in the second half of a girls' basketball game between Century High and Bismarck High, a Century player limps off the court after taking a knee to her quadriceps muscle.
Samantha Stroh, a certified/licensed athletic trainer with Sanford Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, immediately takes charge. She escorts the hobbled player to the locker room, conducts an evaluation that reveals no serious injury, helps the player stretch and provides tips on how to manage the injury.
Not even two minutes of time ran off the game clock before the player steps back on the court showing no symptoms of the earlier collision.
"Safety is the most important thing," said Jim Haussler, activities director for Bismarck Public Schools. "If safety is No. 1, you have to put athletic trainers on a pretty high pedestal."
For Bismarck Public Schools athletes, those athletic trainers are Stroh and her colleagues. Sanford Orthopedics & Sports Medicine serves as the official sports medicine provider of Bismarck Public Schools as well as Bismarck State College and United Tribes Technical College.
During home events, a Sanford athletic trainer stands ready to prepare athletes for competition and provides care during the game as needed, freeing coaches of an additional responsibility and providing peace of mind to parents and administrators.
"It takes a lot of pressure off coaches," said Steve Miller, veteran Bismarck High boys' basketball coach. "We don't have to do the athletic training. They're obviously a lot more knowledgeable about that than we are."
Daily during the school year, those same experts provide care for athletes at the schools.
Stroh's main assignment is Bismarck High. In the athletic training room, she tapes ankles before practice, offers treatment and evaluations for various injuries and instructs athletes on strengthening exercises and stretches to keep them healthy and prevent further injury.
"She's always here for you, so you don't have to go anywhere for treatment," said Keisha Engelhardt, a junior on the Demons girls' basketball team.
The familiarity the athletic trainers develop with the athletes helps with that care.
"It's nice to have a continuous presence of an athletic trainer there at practices and games because you get to know the athletes, and they get to know you. You learn their pain tolerance, their attitudes," Stroh said. "My relationship with the athletes and coaches is amazing."
The news Stroh and her fellow athletic trainers must deliver isn't always pleasant, of course.
They must inform athletes, parents and coaches of potentially serious injuries, such as ligament tears or joint separations, and they refer athletes to specialists or a local emergency and trauma center when the situation calls for it.
When athletes do get injured, it's up to the athletic trainers to provide clearance before the athletes return. For example, after sustaining a concussion, athletes must clear a five-step progressive physical activity program, which takes a minimum of five days.
"Having the person who works with them daily provide the treatment on the court or in the athletic training room lessens the stress of dealing with an injury," said Century girls' basketball coach Ron Metz.
Through the triumphs and the sometimes heartbreaking news, athletic trainers become as big a part of the team as anyone else.
"Athletic trainers are seen as part of the coaching staff," Haussler said. "They become as emotionally involved as anyone." Click here for more information on sports medicine services at Sanford Health in Bismarck. Click here for more information on Sanford Orthopedics & Sports Medicine.

With offers of "just smoking pot" and the ability to never get caught urinating in public, it'd be hard to believe that the fictional campaign signs for the Toronto mayor's race are real. But, they are getting a lot of attention.
The signs, a project of the website NoFordNation.com, appeared Monday in Toronto's Trinity Bellwoods Park, according to Canada.com.
Ford Nation is the nickname of the campaign and general persona of the 44-year-old mayor who has admittedly smoked crack-cocaine and had a series of very public gaffes.

One Step Away
19/03/2010 14:52 by Amsterdamize
It's that time again to talk folklore. On Sunday [March 20] the calendar will officially say it's springtime and we'll do the
a week later. Whatever. In NL, that's as reliable as ... the weather.
As you've seen
, we were fortunate to have already
bagged a few beautiful sunny days
. Just as much as this winter's hardship came as a total surprise, we know better than to rely on either a few atmospheric signs and/or what the weatherman tells us. A far more entertaining indicator of what's to come are women riding bicycles.
The last week showed us a few small hints (see pics above), we're all waiting for
[(Short) Skirt Day]. Equally random, Rokjesdag will just happen, we don't know when. By the looks of it, it can't be far off. And by 'happen' I mean that the majority of women wear dresses and skirts, bare legged. Sure, they will graciously occupy the sidewalk, but you really know The Day has come when they whoosh passed you left and right, en masse, on bicycles. After all, you look [even] better on a bike. You can count on me keeping you posted...for merely statistical & sociological purposes, of course, as
it's an established phenomenon in civilized cycle countries

|Grazing meeting to include valuable information
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
"Strategic Grazing Management for Complex Adaptive Systems" is being hosted by The Society for Range Management Colorado Section. The meeting will run from 8 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 29 through 3 p.m. Friday, Nov. 30. The majority of the meeting will be on the CSU campus in the Lory Student Center Ballroom area. There will be a tour and dinner at the Sylvan Dale Ranch Thursday afternoon for an additional fee.
This will be a unique meeting experience. Each session will open with a general presentation on the topic. Then, someone (usually a rancher) will share real life, on the ground experience. The opening session is the only exception to this arrangement.
Fred Provenza will open the meeting with a look at how complex grazing systems really are. He spent his career studying how animals learn what to eat. His work has lead to incredible breakthroughs in the understanding of landscape management. There are four major factors that influence how grazing affects rangelands. These include overall intensity, time, space and animal behavior. These all, in turn, impact soils, vegetation, herbivores and people.
The second part of the morning program will focus on stocking rate. Stocking rate (SR) is the number of animals per unit area for a unit of time. This is true whether on a ranch for the grazing season or full year or for a pasture while it is being grazed. In economic terms, optimum SR occurs when profit, not production, is maximized. Determining the optimum stocking rate is complex and not constant.
Speakers will explore how one can find the optimum stocking rate and the importance of monitoring the variation in stocking rate through the years.
Thursday afternoon the group will travel to and tour the Sylvan Dale Ranch near Loveland. Dinner will feature ranch-raised, grass-finished beef.
Friday morning will open with an exploration of plant recovery from grazing with Tim Steffens. Steffens is both knowledgeable and entertaining to listen to. He will explore what plant recovery is and what it is not. He will share insights to the many factors influencing plant recovery and the affects of grazing before the plants are ready.
After break, the topic will turn to grazing distribution, its importance and influences. Unmanaged livestock repeatedly graze preferred plants in preferred areas. This results in overgrazed patches that expand over time, even at low stocking rates. Grazing management has the power to alter this pattern and improve distribution.
After lunch, the last session will take a look at diet selection and stocking density. How the two relate is not as simple as many people think. Time and space in a pasture have huge impacts on grazing habits of animals. The end result can be either positive or negative for both plants and animals.
Registration includes lunches both days.
A full agenda and registration information is available from the web at www.cssrm.org. Click on the "newsletters and other information" link in the top left menu. The links to the agenda and registration form are on the left hand side about halfway down.

Many of you may be wondering why I'm so excited about a "festive winter ale" in September, and to you my answer is simple – have you ever tasted Jubelale? Full of dark crystal malt, it's nutty, it's sweet and generally delicious. Mmmm…..
So what prompted this sudden outburst of Jubelale love? Last night Deschutes Brewery held simultaneous Jubelale launch parties at its Bend and Portland public houses, offering a lucky few the opportunity to try the 2008 brewing before it's release to store shelves in the beginning of October.
In addition to traditional Jubelale the pub was offering a special nitro Jubel anda menu of delicious beer infused options. We tried the "Pig's Ear" dessert which was similar to an elephant ear (with bits of bacon incorporated into the dough) and came with caramel sauce and a Jubelale ice cream. Pretty tasty.
So, if you've got a craving for some Christmas in September, I'd recommend heading down to the pub and getting your hands on some Jubelale before word spreads and you can't get a stool at the bar.

More information about this loan
To reach borrowers who would not normally qualify for loans, UIMCEC has developed partnerships with a number of local organizations created by the poor to promote savings and mutual support. Most members of these organizations take group loans from UIMCEC. Some group members have larger businesses requiring more capital, and therefore receive individual loans. To meet their needs, UIMCEC is offering this loan at a lower interest rate with no material guarantee requirement. By supporting this loan, you are helping poor borrowers access credit at lower interest rates.
About UIMCECThis loan is administered by UIMCEC, a Kiva Field Partner in Senegal since 2008. UIMCEC is a government-regulated microfinance institution whose mission is to improve the revenue and well-being of families through access to financial services, allowing principally women and young adult micro-entrepreneurs living in rural and semi-rural areas to develop their revenue-generating businesses and supporting them in becoming financially self-sufficient.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

The Jefferson County Sheriff's Department is being flooded with calls from concerned citizens about an alleged rape case back in August.
Two Steubenville football players are accused of raping an unconscious 16-year-old girl at a party.
Evidence is now coming forward, like this picture that was posted on social media, showing two students carrying the alleged victim.
And now, another video is leaked, showing a former Steubenville athlete, not charged in the crime, but talking about the incident as if it did happen. He keeps referring to the unconscious victim as being dead.
The words from this former student are very disturbing.
The sheriff has seen the video and called it disgusting.
Police say they have interviewed the former student seen and heard on this latest videotape, but would not comment any further.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine says the case is moving forward and the two students arrested on rape charges have a hearing in February.
The county prosecutor and the judge in the case recused themselves because of their ties to the football team.
And police say witnesses have not come forward to help the investigation.

2003 Ford Crown Victoria - Part 7, Ring and Pinion Gear ChangeWritten by John McGann on December 19, 2011 Project Panther from Hell
In our Oct. '11 issue, we added 70 hp to Project Panther using new cams and cylinder heads from Trick Flow. In the process, we raised the rpm where peak torque and horsepower occur. Since this is a heavy car (4,000 pounds) with a small (281ci) engine, we want to launch the car as close to the new torque peak as possible and help acceleration by increasing the torque multiple at the axle. Fortunately, Ford Racing has the best prices on 3.73:1 ring and pinion gear and bearing kits for the 8.8, so I ordered up a set and called Tech Editor Smith's buddy Tim Moore, who agreed to do the install. While this is something I'd like to be able to do myself, I don't have the collection of pullers, drivers, and presses, not to mention the wealth of knowledge and experience Moore has at his disposal. In some cases, it's better to let a pro do the job, and I am not ashamed to admit this is one job I was willing to hand over to someone experienced. Though the job itself is a dirty one, the removal and replacement of the differential carrier is pretty straightforward. Installing the pinion gear at the right depth is where finesse and skill are required. Get it wrong and at best your final drive will howl like straight-cut gears; at worst, you can burn up the pinion gear bearings. Moore got it right, of course, and the result is a quiet-running pinion gear set and a more responsive car. Translation: It accelerates faster.
Hate all these Crown Victoria articles? That's cool. Close your eyes and visualize this axle under your favorite Ford. The 8.8-inch came in nearly every FoMoCo rear-drive application for almost two decades. The job we're showing here works across the board.
Determining Driveshaft Critical Speed
Here's the formula for determining driveshaft speed:
Road Speed x 336 x Rear Gear
Tire Size
Checking my car running down the freeway:
75 x 336 x 3.73
____________ = 3,686 rpm driveshaft speed
This chart, provided by DynoTech Driveshafts, offers a guideline for safe driveshaft speeds. DynoTech General Manager Steve Raymond says operating above the critical speed and spinning faster than intended can cause the driveshaft to bend. As it bends, its overall length will shorten, causing it to pull out of the tailshaft of the transmission. In extreme cases, the driveshaft can even come apart, unspiraling like a paper towel roll. According to the formula, at freeway speeds, I'm well below the critical speed of my car's 31⁄2-inch-diameter, 56-inch-long aluminum driveshaft (measured at the centerlines of the universal joints). However, on a recent trip to Willow Springs International Raceway, I reached speeds on the track of 100 mph, or 4,941 driveshaft rpm. Dynotech's Raymond determined that my car can safely go about 144 mph. I doubt I have the horsepower to go that fast, but some readers' cars might. If so, we recommend replacing the driveshaft with one that better matches the car's operating conditions.

In this month's Project Car update, we are swapping out the stock 3.27:1 gears for a more beefy set of 3.73s. To get started, Moore removed the driveshaft and rear brake calipers, popped open the rear cover, and removed the differential cross-shaft. Ford's 8.8-inch uses C-clips to retain the axles (incidentally, they're referred to as "U-washers" in the factory service manual), and access to the clips is somewhat limited by the S-shaped spring in the Traction Lok diff. Moore used a couple of small screwdrivers and picks to remove them. He slid the axles out just far enough to clear the differential carrier. Next, he removed the carrier caps, pried out the carrier, and removed the pinion gear.He cleaned the housing with some brake cleaner and drove the front and rear pinion-bearing races with a long driver. Ford Racing's install kit came with new bearings and races. Moore used a hammer and punch to drive them in place.Moore removed the ring-gear retaining bolts and used a brass punch to remove the 3.27:1 ring gear from the carrier. The ring gear is designed to be pressed onto the carrier, so it required a lot of hammering to free it from the ring gear flange.Moore dressed the mating surfaces of the carrier and the new 3.73:1 ring gear with an abrasive stone lubricated with penetrant.According to the service manual, the new ring gear is supposed to be pressed onto the carrier. When Moore slipped the new gear on, the gap between the gear and carrier flange was longer than the retaining bolts. Instead of pressing the gear on the rest of the way, Moore used bolts that are longer than stock to draw the gear on, then he replaced them with the stock ring-gear bolts. He put red Loctite on the threads prior to torquing them.Moore used an impact wrench to tighten the bolts, working in a star-shaped pattern. The spec listed in the manual is 77 ft-lb. Moore knows how much torque his gun makes and therefore knew how much to tighten them without having to get out the torque wrench.When this car was assembled, the guys at the plant set up the ring-and-pinion with the correct combination of shims to prevent gear noise. Because we are using Ford parts, theoretically, the original combination of shims should work. So Moore pressed the bearing off the pinion to reuse the stock pinion shim. "That shim goes with that case; it should work with these new gears, too. With factory gears you can usually reuse the stock shims. But you're usually not as lucky with aftermarket gears. You will have to install them, check the pattern, and remove or add shims until the pattern is correct," Moore says.Moore dropped the stock shim onto the new pinion, slipped a set of homemade checker bearings on the pinion gear, and installed the pinion into the case to check both lash and pinion depth. Checker bearings are honed to eliminate the interference fit, allowing them to slip on and off and thus making the setup process much quicker. Because the stock bearings need to be pressed on, if Moore needs to add or replace shims, he will have to press off the bearing, add new shims, press the bearings on, and repeat the process until he gets the combination correct.Moore coated a few of the teeth on both gears with a gear-marking compound and ran them in contact together. He inspected the wear mark left in the dye to determine whether the gears were meshing properly. "You don't want the wear marks too close to the top of the tooth. It should be a nice, round pattern somewhere on the middle of the tooth," Moore says.
The pattern was fine, so Moore removed the checker bearings, pressed on the new pinion bearings, and reinstalled the pinion.What's the big deal about shims? The pinion-bearing adjustment shim (official Ford terminology!) controls how far into the case the pinion gear fits, and the differential bearing shim controls the lateral (side-to-side) location of the ring gear. If this relationship is off, you can end up with noisy gears and/or broken teeth because of incorrect or insufficient contact between the ring-and-pinion gear teeth. Here, Moore is checking lash, the amount of free movement between the ring-and-pinion teeth (i.e. how far he can turn the ring gear while holding the pinion stationary). The spec is 0.010 to 0.012 inch.Tightening the pinion nut crushes a collapsible washer on the pinion and determines the preload between the pinion and the bearings. Again, there is a spec for this (20 in-lb, according to my service manual for new bearings; it's slightly less for used bearings), but Moore knows how much to tighten it by touch. He spins the pinion by hand and can tell by how much drag he feels when the pinion nut is tightened sufficiently.Next, Moore reinstalled the differential, using a hammer and brass punch to fully seat it in the bearing cups. The caps were tightened to 77 ft-lb. He pushed the axles back in, fitted the C-clips, and reinstalled the pinion cross-shaft and locking bolt. He put the brake calipers back on but made me put the wheels back on. The 9-inch-wide steel wheels and 285/40R17 tires (see our Dec. '11 issue) weigh a good 60 pounds each, and all I'd been doing so far was standing around taking pictures.Royal Purple hooked us up with a case of 75W-90 synthetic gear lube with a limited-slip additive included. Fluid capacity is about 33⁄4 pints.Because my car is equipped with an electronic speedometer, recalibrating it for the new axle ratio is as easy as plugging in my SCT X3 Power Programmer, selecting the corresponding axle ratio, and reflashing the ECM. Older cars will require replacement of the speedo gears in the transmission tail housing.

Plastics help us to do more with less in many ways. Because they're durable, lightweight, and versatile, plastics can help reduce waste and consume less energy. Lighter packaging can mean lighter loads or fewer trucks and railcars are needed to ship the same amount of product, helping to reduce transportation energy, decrease emissions and lower shipping costs. For example, just 2 pounds of plastic can deliver 1000 ounces—roughly 8 gallons—of a beverage. Additionally, reusing refillable sports bottles and recycling your grocery bags, bottles or containers into new useful products can help conserve raw materials and reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills.
Plastics can help us reduce what we use and conserve resources and energy. Lightweight packaging and vehicles save weight and fuel on the road. Innovative plastic packaging protects food in shipment and keeps it fresher longer. High-tech plastic insulation saves energy to heat and cool buildings.
There are many ways to reuse plastic items at home. Old plastic toothbrushes, for example, can be used to clean around faucets or the corners of sinks and bathtubs. Yogurt and margarine tubs can also be washed and put back to work. Yogurt cups, especially, are the perfect size for growing seedlings indoors before planting them outside.
Recycling plastics has never been easier. Today, 80 percent of Americans have easy access to plastics recycling opportunities, whether you participate in a municipal curbside program or live near a drop-off site. Recycling plastics helps valuable materials go on to live a second life as new products. Many people reuse plastics—things like storage bins, sealable food containers and refillable sports bottles. These types of items can be used over and over to reduce waste. The plastics industry supports recycling that is sustainable, economical and environmentally responsible. Since 1990, the plastics industry, as individual companies and through organizations such as ACC's Plastics Division, has invested more than $2 billion to support increased recycling and educate communities in the United States.
Energy recovery is the process by which solid waste is converted into renewable energy or feedstock materials. Energy recovery is happening right now, powering homes and businesses, and it's helping to address our growing population's biggest challenges: energy independence, waste diversion, and climate change.
Energy Efficiency
By allowing manufacturers and consumers to do more with less, using plastics can help reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions throughout the life of a product or package.
Key Role for Chemical, Plastics Industries in Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions
A recent study confirms key role for the chemical industry in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and highlights the important role of plastic products, such as building insulation, packaging, auto parts, and pipe.
Conserving Resources
The plastics industry endorses the practice of conserving resources and minimizing the environmental and health impacts of plastics and plastic products. We support the use of:
Environmental and energy-efficiency criteria in product design and purchasing decisions, along with product safety, cost, performance and availability.
Environmental performance and energy criteria in product evaluations through a "systems" approach, using recognized life cycle analysis tools that include the entire "use" phase.
Sustainable product criteria that reflect consensus-based decision-making, best available science, transparency, and openness to ALL stakeholders.
ACC's Plastics Division supports sustainability initiatives that are conducted in accordance with these principles.
The Plastics Division is a founding member of the World Plastics Council (WPC), an organization comprised of executives from leading companies that produce plastic resin. The WPC provides a platform for member companies to efficiently address common issues, and to have a common voice on issues with global reach.

Some nutri-mental practices are so important, you can't bargain them away in your child's diet. Here are those few items you should work hard to incorporate and sustain.
No single food or food group can do it all. Make sure your child is getting wide variety among the food groups. Variety within a food group is second most important after that. Over the course of a few days kids should be getting something from each of the food groups. For more information see the USDA For Kids web page.
Iron is the mineral most likely to be deficient in the diets of older babies and toddlers. Yet it is very important in brain and nervous system development. Best food sources for iron include beef, dark meat poultry, cereals, raisins, prunes, wheat germ, and blackstrap molasses. Most likely even with these foods, a child's daily vitamin and mineral supplement will be necessary to meet recommended intakes.
Bones grow and form for the first two decades of life. Enough calcium is critical to that growth. Giving children more calcium when they are younger will build stronger bones, more resistant to debilitating bone fractures from osteoporosis when they get older. Many children don't get enough. Children up to the age of three need 500 mg/day, and from the ages of 4 to 8 need 800 mg/day.
Generally, breakfast eaters have a better overall diet and have less trouble concentrating and fewer behavior problems in school than those children who do not eat a well-balanced, complete breakfast. Breakfast eaters are more apt to get their daily requirements of iron, calcium, and fruit if they choose a well-balanced, healthy meal including a serving from each food group.
Fruits and Vegetables
More and more evidence is linking fruit and vegetable intake with a reduced risk of chronic diseases like cancer. It is important to establish healthy eating habits early in life to reduce the risk of these types of diseases. In fruit and vegetables, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and protective substances called phyto-chemicals provide multiple benefits.

Now, as you describe this "video" of Hillary, do you believe rational people would think it's true? I'd suppose that rational people would have already separated this particular bit of chaff from the hopper, before even having to google it as you suggest. I don't have time for tripe.
All conservatives aren't the same. Just as all liberals aren't the same.

I know 15% of $18,000.00 is more than 15% of $15,000.00 so that is an increase in taxes paid in.

Centerfield, the minimum wage is for people who are starting out at the bottom. Why would we pay unskilled uneducated people as much as people who have worked to improve themselves to get the higher paying jobs?

"This so called "leader" hasn't a single clue except how to lie to the American people and try to destroy this country from within."
This is where you're wrong. He actually believes that what he's doing won't destroy the country from within. We don't move forward by accusing opposition of wanting bad things for the country. That just leads to bickering and stonewalling. The only available way to move forward now is to become the elected majority, or to somehow convince the opposition to change their views.

What? They can't get to the "truth" it is buried under person to person and paper work. Just like when Clinton lied about his Monica and Hillary defended him. Either way, at that point, I will vote Right.

I can certainly understand you three being clueless about things but to continue to blame Obama when your own party is absolutely doing nothing to help the country is truly being clueless. Now, for the first time in the history of congress the Republicans are going to filibuster a nominee for the Secretary of Defense. It is amazing that you continue to swallow the garbage of talk radio, Fox, Rush, and your own leaders. They have obstructed everything and they continue to do so. You saw what the people did in the election and they will do it in two years. The people are waking up to the destruction of our country and they know who to blame. The Republican obstructionism is going to destroy the country and the republican party. There certainly is a division and you can see what side you are on... the wrong side.

Haven't missed a State of the Union address since Eisenhower, so I tried to listen to this one. I couldn't stand it for long.

From the previous comments on the minimum wage from the righties, it is obvious that you don't understand the wage proposals and when they have been enacted. The minimum wage in 1968 was $1.60/hr. Based on inflation it should have increased to $10.27/hr by 2011. The last increase was approved by congress in 2007 and the increase concluded three years ago at $7.25/hr. Now, the proposal is a laddered approach to increase it to $9.00/hr. by 2014. That would be a whopping $18,000 a year. Now, there is also a tipping provision in the law. History has shown that there is no job loss but there is more job retention instead.

Obviously, this poll is subject to interpretation from everyone. I look at it as 28% of those respondents thought the speech was good to excellent. But, only five percent thought it was bad. There were a number of individuals who indicated that they disliked the President but they failed to vote on the speech. So, therefore, 84% of those responding to the quality of the speech thought it was a good/very good speech. Good job, Mr. President.

Raising minimum wage is a tax increase, pretty tricky trick out of the trick bag. Not good.

I was looking on twitter and saw only a few responses to the @CycloneATH twitter hashtag contest for the UNI game, and they were kinda bland. I'm drawing a blank on anything else does anyone have anything for this?
"Day after day, situation after situation you do things the right way. If you do things the right way, in life, you are going to be successful. I'm not just your football coach; I'm not just here to win games. I could not be prouder of who we are and who we are becoming, together. You do things right in the classroom, off and on the field; that's whats's makes us Cyclones and that's what our culture's all about."

|Angus Association recognizes members
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Vision Angus of Amherst has been recognized nationally by the American Angus Association® for having four registered Angus cows and one registered Angus bull included in the Association's 2013 Pathfinder® Report.
Holyoke's Gale and Cynthia Haynes were recognized for having eight registered Angus cows, and Austin Viselmeyer of Amherst had one registered cow included, as well.
Only 1,992 of the more than 25,000 American Angus Association members are represented in this year's report, according to Bill Bowman, chief operating officer and director of performance programs of the association with headquarters in Saint Joseph, Mo.
The Pathfinder program identifies superior Angus cows based upon recorded performance traits economically important to efficient beef production. These traits include early and regular calving and heavy weaning weights, Bowman says. Over two million eligible dams with more than 6.8 million weaning records were examined to determine Pathfinder status. All registered Angus cows that meet the strict Pathfinder standards are listed, along with their owners, in the Pathfinder Report that is published annually by the association.
The 2013 Pathfinder Report lists 8,680 individual cows and 234 Pathfinder sires. It is published online at www.angus.org, and printed copies are available from the association.
The largest number of Pathfinder cows from a single herd this year is 96. Started in 1978, the Pathfinder Program continues to recognize outstanding breeders participating in the Angus Herd Improvement Records Program.

|126 N. Interocean - Mystery of downtown building partially solved, intrigue remains
|Written by Jes-c Brandt
Nestled in the middle of the 100 block of North Interocean, the building currently occupied by First Dragon Chinese Restaurant has a mysterious history. Having changed several times, it's difficult to express just how much variety there has been in the businesses that have passed through 126 N. Interocean. Certainly, if this building could talk, it would have a lot to say.
The unfortunate truth about this building, however, is it can't tell its own story, and the history isn't entirely known. What is known is the building has housed a number of restaurants over the years, as well as art stores, book stores, clothing stores and probably many others.
First Dragon, the current restaurant at the location makes use of the entire building, seating customers in the front half, while the kitchen is in the back. In years past, though, the building has had four distinct sections, divided by the front and back, and the north and south halves. The sections have been used in many combinations, and an assortment of odd matches have found themselves as neighbors.
A timeline of businesses
Most Holyoke residents, and countless individuals passing through, know the building at 126 N. Interocean as a restaurant, as it currently serves as the First Dragon.
Traveling farther back in time, the exact history is a bit fuzzy. In one of the only historic photos of the building, taken in the 1940s, it is shown as a café. It was most likely Norman's Cafe at the time of the photo. Norman's was located in the building in the late 1930s and into the 1940s. Other than that, what was in the building is a mystery.
Starting in the 1950s a more concrete, although still incomplete, history becomes available. George Zeiler had a plumbing business on the south side, and Mildred McCormick had her café in the north side of the building for a few years. Sunny Taylor then had a bakery, followed by Edna Taylor's cafe.
Helen McMillan opened her restaurant, Mac's Fireside Inn, at the location around 1973, and had it until she sold it to Bob and Valerie Wilson, who then opened The Inn in June 1975. Before opening it, the Wilsons changed the decor to create a cozy, old-fashioned feel. The south eating area was filled with antiques and called the barn room. The north eating area was kept as a day cafe.
The Inn later was remodeled; the barn room was converted to a cocktail lounge/bar, and the front room became the new dining room. The Inn continued to be a favorite for locals as well as many from surrounding towns, until it closed in May 1979.
After housing The Inn, the building was once again used by a different business on each half. In May 1979 The Kloset, a clothing store, relocated to the south side of the building. In June that year, Steve and Anita Heubert opened a Daylight Donuts on the north side, which remained there until the December fire. The Gingerbread House, owned by Charlotte Harms was also there a short while.
The Kloset remained there until February 1982, when Alta's Art Gallery relocated to the south side of the building. In June, Detta Bjorklun opened Hobby Haven on the north side. Hobby Haven remained a resource for ceramic enthusiasts for about five years.
April 24, 1987, Holyoke's Centennial Store opened. The store was established in the year preceding Holyoke's centennial celebration, to make t-shirts, caps, sweat shirts, plates and belt buckles, all touting the centennial celebration, available to the public. The store was manned by senior citizen volunteers.
The Book Stop, owned by Clark and Judy Ginapp, was located in the building after moving from Central Street Shoppes and remained there until the Ginapps sold it to the Krogmeiers in May 1995. Following the relocation of the book store, Chas' Accounting Service moved into the south side of the building, from 1995-99. Alta's Art Gallery stayed at 126 N. Interocean until May 1999.
Steve Abbott opened Chalupas, a Mexican restaurant, in July 2000 and closed December of the same year. La Familia Ruybal Mexican restaurant was then located there from December 2000 to December 2001. Finally, in January 2005, First Dragon Chinese Restaurant moved to its current location.
For many years, even as the businesses changed, the building served as the bus depot for travelers passing through. It's truly impossible to tell just how many people have passed through the doors of 126 N. Interocean.
This building has undergone an exceptional number of renovations. On several occasions, the interior has been redecorated to match the style of the time or of a restaurant theme, and the exterior has seen changed itself.
The current design of the Chinese restaurant is certainly a change from the businesses of the past. The uniform storefront covers the fact that the building used to be divided in two. A close look, however, at the top of the building or the south entrance are a glimpse of the building in its former state. The interior is unrecognizable as any of the previous businesses, but some elements still spark the memory of its old inhabitants.
Notable Events
Daylight Donuts fire
Dec. 12, 1979 the north side of 126 N. Interocean caught fire. Then a Daylight Donuts owned by Steve and Anita Heubert, the business was shut down only six months after the establishment's grand opening.
The fire was determined arson, and the Heuberts were charged with first degree arson, fourth degree arson and conspiracy to commit the two. Throughout the year of 1980, the public was kept informed by Enterprise notices of updates to the Heuberts' trials.
The neighboring business in the south side of the building at the time, the Kloset, suffered smoke damage after the fire. Doing what they could to make the best of the situation, the Kloset had a lengthy sale, offering smoke damaged clothing at reduced prices.
Bricks fall from facade
In the March 16, 1989 edition of the Enterprise, the building was likened to the Wall of Jericho. Apparently strong winds are what caused an entire section of bricks to come crashing down from the front of the building.
Above where the actual building ends, there is a wall of brick that runs along the front of the building. One witness of the event said the whole south side fell down in one piece, breaking when it struck the ground.
Happening during the day, right along main street, it is amazing that no one was hurt. In fact, there wasn't even any damage done to the cars parked on that section of the street.
To this day, even after renovations to the building, the mismatched section of new bricks is a reminder of the wall that fell over 20 years ago.
First Dragon temporarily closed
It hasn't even been long enough since the fire for it to become history, but it is a part of the building's list of notable occurrences. On Aug. 4, Holyoke volunteer fire fighters responded to First Dragon Chinese Restaurant.
There were no flames as the result of an electrical problem in the kitchen area, however the smoke damage was extensive enough to close down the restaurant for a period of time.
History beyond the archives
While most of the history of 126 N. Interocean can be pieced together from newspaper archives and other various resources, the history that isn't included within those books is sometimes the most interesting of all.
Take the fact that Mildred McCormick was a fiery redhead, with a personality no one could forget. She was known to feed anyone who came into her cafe, turning away no one. She trusted they would pay their bill when they were able.
Another detail the history books fail to include is that while teens would convene in front of the buildings on main street, younger siblings would often make their way to the back alley for a game of tag.
Unless they'd eaten there, most probably don't know of the famed Saturday night prime rib at The Inn or that people would wait extra time just to be seated in The Inn's barn room in the south side of the building.
Researchers in the future may never know about the friendship that grew between Alta Brandt and Detta Bjorklun when they operated their stores side by side, but these tidbits are just as much a part of the history of 126 N. Interocean as anything.

Ok.. As luck would have it, I applied for an elk area that I didn't get and decided to put in for the mule deer tag in the area. Seems like i got the mule deer tag but didn't get the elk.
I am probably going to go in and mule deer hunt the week before 9/15 and then go elk hunt in a general area.
Any suggestions for this Area?

I voted for the LibDems at the last general election because of their commitment to a far more democratic electoral system (PR), with the potential to bring real change to Britain's sclerotic political system, but despite getting into government they failed miserably, even to get the half-baked compromise of AV onto the statute books, the British people, in their infinite wisdom (manipulated by the powers that be), deciding that they didn't want a more democratic voting system, or the opportunity to bring real change to Britain's corrupt political status quo.

The delicate skin on the neck is thin and fragile, requiring special care and attention. All too often the area below the jaw-line is neglected and omitted from daily skin care regimes. As a result, skin becomes creased, lifeless, and dehydrated. Visible signs of aging become pronounced and noticeable. Perricone MD Neck Firming treatments offer a solution. Developed by healthy aging expert Dr. Nicholas Perricone, these powerful formulations provide the skin around the neck and chin with hydrating nourishment. By improving elasticity and repairing damaged skin, Perricone MD Neck Firming products result in a more youthful appearance.
Fragile skin around the neck and chin can sag, wrinkle, or develop a dry, rough texture. The result is a "turkey neck" or "double chin" effect, which can give the impression of premature aging. Perricone MD Neck Firming products treat the visible signs of aging. Skin is smoothed and brightened, wrinkles are reduced, and the jaw-line is toned and tightened. The profile becomes contoured and defined. Make Perricone MD Neck Firming treatments part of your regular skin care routine and discover measurable results.
The neck and chin area are among the first to display visible signs of aging. Skin along the jaw-line can sag and lose definition, while the neck becomes rough and dry.

By incorporating Perricone MD Neck Firming products into your regular skin care routine, you can repair damaged skin cells and protect this delicate area from further damage.
Tone and tighten the skin along the chin and jaw-line with Perricone MD Cold Plasma Sub-D. This non-invasive treatment reduces the appearance of a "double chin" and improves the elasticity of the skin around the neck and décolleté. Active ingredients DMAE and caffeine combine to firm up sagging skin. With regular application, the jaw-line becomes more contoured and the profile appears chiseled.

Thanks to the generosity of advertising legends Leo Burnett, the African Wildlife Foundation is proud to announce the launch of our new visibility campaign. Using the art of photographer James Balog, who generously donated several captivating, still-life images for the campaign, the Leo Burnett creative team developed a distinctive look to capture the work and essence of AWF, including the tagline "Conserving Wildlife. Respecting All Life."
AWF's Katie Frohardt was a phone-in guest on the March 22, 2001, edition of "Africa Journal," a television program produced by Worldnet, Voice of America. Broadcast live by stations in 27 sub-Saharan African countries, "Africa Journal" focuses on political, social, health, gender and cultural issues unique and important to Africans.
The African Wildlife Foundation has been awarded a major grant from USAID Regional Center for Southern Africa (RCSA) to lead a conservation initiative across national borders.
The African Wildlife Foundation has announced selection of five Charlotte Fellows for 2000-2001. The Charlotte Conservation Fellowship Program began in 1996, in memory of AWF supporter Charlotte Kidder Ramsay, who strongly endorsed AWF efforts to encourage young African professionals to work in conservation. The program provides educational and financial assistance to Africans pursuing master's or doctoral studies in subjects such as species and ecosystem conservation, community conservation, and resource economics.
Kenya's parks and game reserves, dazzling though they are, can never include enough terrain to sustain the large herds of elephant, zebra, wildebeest and other migratory animals that are Africa's unique heritage.
An estimated 70 percent of Kenya's wildlife lives on private or communal land at any one time. But land outside protected areas is filling up with farms and villages. Increasingly, wildlife is competing with people and their livestock for the same space and water causing resentment and sometimes violence.

So recently, the power noobs (myself included) have taken over the training status thread. I feel a little bad about doing that, since it buries peoples race/training questions and thoughts. I decided to start this thread so long time power users (aka those who know what they're doing) can help out the noobs on a separate thread.
Lets see how it goes :)

ATLANTA, Ga. -- On the heels of the carbon monoxide leak that forced displacement of an Atlanta-area elementary school on Monday morning, the Home Depot and Kidde have decided to take a stand.
Kidde, a top manufacturer of carbon monoxide detectors and smoke alarms and The Home Depot have partnered with the 11Alive Help Desk to provide carbon monoxide detectors for people who need them.
Both companies are gearing up to donate 1,000 carbon monoxide detectors for installation at metro area schools.
The carbon monoxide detectors will be available at a Home Depot store for schools that need them starting in early January.
The store locations will be posted on the 11Alive Help Desk online.
