Air Apparent: Part 3Written on November 4, 2004 Altitude Adjustments From Simple To Sophisticated
Unlike some of the trends, tricks and treatments in street rodding that become popular only to fade away as quickly as they arrive, it appears air suspension systems are destined to be as big a part of this hobby as the dropped axle. Air springs have proven to be reliable, provide outstanding ride and handling characteristics and, of course, the adjustability they offer is unparalleled.
In the October and November issues of SRM we looked at the basics of air springs and how to select and install them. This time we're going to look at controlling the ups and downs of air springs.
Basic Plumbing
Like most things having to do with street rods, the system used to inflate and deflate air springs can be simple or complicated. It may be as rudimentary as a tire stem-type inflation valve (like those used on air shocks of the '60s) to manually adjust the air pressure in the 'bags, or as sophisticated as a computer system that automatically adjusts the ride height of the vehicle.
Although it would be possible to alter the air pressure of each air spring with an individual manual-inflation valve, to take full advantage of the adjustability they offer an on-board air source that should be included. That means a compressor, probably a storage tank and some sort of control system will be required, and that will determine how the system is plumbed.
In some cases air springs on the same axle are hooked together. While this keeps things simple and only requires one control valve per axle, there is one drawback: that is the tendency of air to transfer from one side of the car to the other when it leans in a corner, and the transfer of air will make it lean even more. On a light car, or those that have antiroll bars, it may not be an issue. However, plumbing the 'bags individually will eliminate the tendency completely and enhance handling, but it means an individual control valve and airline for each air spring will be required.
Air Lines and Fittings
Generally air spring suspension systems are plumbed with flexible lined. Air Ride Technologies supplies DOT-approved plastic tubing with its kits, and while it is safe and reliable, some builders prefer to use hard lines for appearance sake. And while that is a viable option, in some applications, when using ShockWaves as an example, there will be movement between the shock body and the chassis that must be taken into consideration. For that reason, Air Ride Technologies offers braided line kits to connect the airbags to the hard line to provide that needed flexibility.
While hard lines look trick on a show car, the beauty of plastic airlines is the simplicity of installation. Connections are easily made with push-together fittings. Available in straight, right-angle, and T configurations, all such fittings offered by Air Ride Technologies are DOT approved. Making connections couldn't be easier; the plastic tubing is simply inserted in the fitting. When it bottoms out in the fitting, the tubing is secured with an integral locking collar. The only critical step in the assembly process is to cut the end of the line square, and Air Ride Technologies can even supply a tool to do that job.
One of the most common questions about plumbing air springs is what size line to use. Air Ride Technologies offers 1/8-, 1/4-, 3/8-, and 1/2-inch lines and fittings. So, what's the difference? Simply put--speed. The larger line allows the 'bags to inflate and deflate faster (of course, any or all of the following will help--larger valves, multiple compressors, larger tank capacity and higher air pressures). And while faster height changes are important to some users, a higher volume of air can make it more difficult to fine tune ride height.
Think of a compressor as an engine; there are small-blocks and big-blocks and displacement varies (same with compressors). Compressors are rated by the volume of air they pump, the pressure produced, and the amperage drawn. And while all those factors are relevant, another important consideration is the environment it will live in. Air Ride Technologies compressors are sealed for protection so they can be mounted virtually anywhere--not all can make that claim.
Compressors are usually controlled one of two ways. In systems without a storage tank, a multi-function switch with an electrical circuit to activate the compressor and pneumatic valve to inflate the 'bags in the up position and deflate the 'bags in the down position is used. When a storage tank is included a separate pressure switch usually controls the compressor. As soon as the pressure in the system drops to a preset point the switch closes and turns on the compressor, when the pressure in the system reaches the upper limit, the switch opens and shuts off the compressor.
Storage Tanks
For most street rods, particularly those with full air ride systems, a storage tank is recommended. A 2-gallon tank should provide enough capacity to raise a car to ride height without the compressor turning on. For faster rise times, larger or multiple tanks may be used.
Basically there are two types of controls for inflating and deflating air springs, manually operated pneumatic valves or switches that control solenoids.
Typically, manual valves are mounted to a panel with a pressure gauge; there may be one valve and a single gauge for a pair of 'bags or a pair of valves and a dual gauge. The dual arrangement may be plumbed so each valve controls a pair of 'bags on one end of the car, or each valve controls the 'bags on one end of the car individually. (this is the best arrangement to isolate the 'bags to keep them from transferring air while cornering.)
A more sophisticated means of controlling the 'bags is with solenoids. With this type of system, the dash-mounted switch controls a solenoid that inflates or deflates the air spring. The advantage to this arrangement is under-dash airlines are eliminated. In addition, the solenoids can be remotely mounted in the trunk, as an example, for a cleaner installation.
Air Ride Technologies offers two series of solenoids, the RidePro and BigRed. The difference between them is the amount of air they will flow. For over 80 percent of its customers, Air Ride Technologies recommends the RidePro series. Rise time from the lowest position to ride height is roughly 3 to 5 seconds. For those who want faster height adjustments, the BigRed series is suggested.
A BigRed four-way system will lift the vehicle to ride height in approximately 2 seconds, while a BigRed MAX system will do it in well under 2 seconds. There is, unfortunately, a trade off. The faster the system reacts, the harder it is to make small adjustments in air pressure. If the most precise ride quality and height adjustments are important, go with the RidePro; if speed is the major consideration, use one of the BigRed designs.
RidePro E
Now we're getting into the really sophisticated systems. With the RidePro E, Air Ride Technologies has combined its RidePro solenoids with a computer to control them. Also included is a control panel with membrane style switches and digital readouts that can be flush-mounted on the dash or hidden.
Along with controlling air pressure via the solenoids, the computer makes the RidePro E's "ride-height-on-start feature" possible. Each time the car is started, the computer inflates the 'bags to a programmable, pre-set pressure. If that's not trick enough, an optional remote control is available. A unique key fob allows you to raise or lower your car from a distance, as well as activate the ride-height-on-start function. By the time you're in the car, it's already at ride height, ready to go.
Arguably the most significant development in air spring suspensions since the ShockWave, Air Ride Technologies LevelPro brings the sophistication of factory systems to the aftermarket.
The LevelPro system not only provides all the advantages of air ride systems we've come to expect, but also includes the ability to preset three different suspension heights--low, on the road, and high (for clearing obstacles like speed bumps). Simply punch a button, and the car raises or lowers to a preset level. In addition, the LevelPro also has a leveling feature. As the load in the car varies due to a change in passengers, cargo, or even filling the gas tank, sensors at each wheel send a signal to the computer. In turn, the computer activates the solenoids to increase or decrease the air pressure in each 'bag as necessary. Once the ride height of the car is programmed, the LevelPro will take care of the rest.
Summing It Up
Over the course of the last three issues of SRM, we've looked at the advantages of air springs, shown the considerations necessary to install them, and presented the latest in plumbing and control system options. But if you're still not convinced that air springs are the way to go, take a ride in a car equipped with them. You'll be sold, and we could have saved our breath.

When it comes to ride quality, adjustability, and ease of installation, air springs are hard to beat. This is an Air Ride Technologies ShockWave on a Kugel IFS.Although air suspension requires a few additional components, most can be hidden. Of course, if they are as well detailed as what's shown here, why hide them?Plumbing an air suspension system is easy with the variety of fittings offered by Air Ride Technologies. The threads come coated with the appropriate sealant, and installing the airlines is simply a matter of plugging them in.This is the most basic of air control systems, the inflation valve. This arrangement is best suited to filling the 'bags on cars under construction.Compressors come in a variety of capacities, this one is best suited for overload systems; it produces .22 cfm at 120 psi.This is the entry-level compressor kit intended for overload applications. Without an air tank, raising the car will take some time.This is a RidePro solenoid system used on a four-bag system. It provides for individual adjustment for each corner of the car. It can also be configured for two-bag installations.
Next up the ladder is the two-way compressor system. This kit allows inflation of two air springs individually, or two sets of springs T'd together. Keep in mind, connecting the airbags on one axle together can lead to air transfer when cornering. This kit is most appropriate for applications that use air springs on just one end of the car.A solenoid based, the two-way RidePro will perform just like the preceding manual system but faster. The difference is the solenoids will flow more air than manual paddle switches. This system can easily be upgraded to a four-way configuration if airbags are to be used at all four corners.One of Air Ride Technologies most popular kits is the four-way RidePro E. It not only offers individual control of the 'bags, but also includes the ride height at start function.For those who really want hydraulics, this BigRed kit features two big compressors, two 5-gallon tanks, 1/2-inch airlines, and BigRed solenoids. Rise time is well under 2 seconds.A variety of control panels are available; style is used on the RidePro E. It has membrane buttons and digital readouts for each 'bag.The simplest control is this single paddle switch and individual gauge. It's best suited to help spring installations.This panel uses a dual switch and a single gauge with dual dials. It can be used on four-bag systems with the 'bags on each axle T'd or two 'bags on the same axle.
A number of panels use digital readouts. This example has dual-bag controls; quads are also available.Storage tanks are available in a variety of sizes. For most street rod applications, 2 gallons is adequate.The new RidePro E offers plug-and-play installation, the ride-height-on-start feature, and an optional remote control. Existing RidePro systems can easily be updated.Coming soon from Air Ride Technologies is the all-new LevelPro. The computer uses sensors at each wheel to determine the proper pressure in each 'bag to keep the car level.This is a typical sensor used in the LevelPro system. They are used in pairs and can be installed on one axle or both.In this proto-type installation a lower four-bar bolt was drilled and tapped to attach the lower link of the sensor.
Hooking the sensor to the axle was simply a matter of cutting the connecting rod to length and slipping it in place. An added bonus is the rubber connectors are forgiving with minor misalignment.

Three Reasons Why The Thunder Would/Wouldn't Re-sign Kevin Martin?
For today's paper, I wrote a Q&A with Kevin Martin candidly discussing his impending free agency.
The Thunder has a critical decision to make on whether to re-sign him or proceed with a youth movement. It's a choice that could determine how much the Thunder remains a contender in subsequent seasons.
Here are three reasons why the Thunder would and would not re-sign K-Mart.
1) Third scoring option: For as long as the Thunder has been in town it has had a three-pronged attack. Letting go of Martin would be a blow to both the Thunder's balance and bench. Serge Ibaka continues to bloom, but he's a starter and still doesn't create his own shot.
2) Reduced cost: Martin understands the Thunder's constraints. He might be willing to re-sign at a discount. If so, the Thunder might not be able to pass up the opportunity to bring back a player who still is an elite scorer.
3) Fits a need: The Thunder historically has been average at best at shooting 3-pointers. With Martin, who is shooting a career-high 42 percent from downtown, OKC is now a top five 3-point shooting team.
1) Money: Because he still is one of the best scorers in basketball, Martin might command a lucrative contract that will be out of the Thunder's price range. The Thunder proved with a contract offer to James Harden that it is willing to spend big to compete. But every team has a limit.
2) Only so many shots: There are times the Thunder succeeds despite off nights from Martin. Those are the nights when it seems OKC could be fine without him. Martin is averaging just 10 shots this season, the third fewest of his career. It remains to be seen whether the Thunder is willing to pay big for the possibility of periods of low production.
3) Promising youth: Reggie Jackson and Jeremy Lamb are chomping at the bit to get more playing time. Jackson in particular is blossoming before our eyes. Both, however, are cheaper versions who can combine to give the Thunder a similar impact as Martin without breaking the bank.

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

Town mulls park's use as food pantry site
Local food pantry organizers are seeking a go-ahead from the town to extend distribution events through March 2014.
Sister Gus Griffin of Catholic Social Services said a food truck originally scheduled to set up in downtown Tunica for a three-month period from October through December 2012 has now been extended, starting this March.
The mobile food pantry is being totally funded by Harrah's Casino Tunica through the Caesar's Foundation, Griffin said.
"(Caesar's) now says they will go on for a whole year," Griffin explained to Tunica aldermen on Tuesday.

Staging Reform, Reforming the Stage: Protestantism and Popular Theater in Early Modern England
Staging Reform, Reforming the Stage: Protestantism and Popular Theater in Early Modern England
Drawing on the insights of symbolic anthropologists, Diehl explores the relationship between the suppression of late medieval religious cultures, with their rituals, symbols, plays, processions, and devotional practices, and the emergence of a popular theater under the Protestant monarchs Elizabeth and James. Questioning long-held assumptions that the reformed religion was inherently antitheatrical, she shows how the reformers invented new forms of theater, even as they condemned a Roman Catholic theatricality they associated with magic, sensuality, and duplicity.
Using as her central texts the tragedies of Thomas Kyd, Christopher Marlowe, William Shakespeare, Thomas Middleton, and John Webster, Diehl maintains that plays of the period reflexively explore their own power to dazzle, seduce, and deceive. Employing a reformed rhetoric that is both powerful and profoundly disturbing, they disrupt their own stunning spectacles. Out of this creative tension between theatricality and antitheatricality emerges a distinctly Protestant aesthetic.

In Silverlight, you generate your user interface (UI) elements by means of Extensible Markup Language (XAML). To write XAML, you can utilize a visual design tool, for instance, Expression Blend, or you can use Visual Studio. This walkthrough demonstrates you how to construct a simple clock in Silverlight by using Expression Blend and Visual Studio. The following design shows the clock that you will create.
If you use Expression Blend, the graphics are twisted visually in the designer. If using Visual Studio, the graphics are produced using XAML code. After creating the graphics in the clock will attach animations and logic to make the clock work.
You need the following components to complete this tutorial :
- Expression Blend 4 (optional).

Photo of the Week: Kenya's Young Entrepreneurs
October 04, 2013
Like their counterparts in Nairobi, young men and women in rural Kenya are harnessing their creative energy and receiving skills training to pursue sustainable economic opportunities.
Photo credit: Ryan Delaney / WRVO
A few hours' drive outside of Nairobi, James Muturi replenishes the water supply for his chickens. James started his small-scale poultry farm after completing the Strengthening Rural Youth Development through Enterprise (STRYDE) program, a partnership between TechnoServe and the MasterCard Foundation. He is one of the many faces of youth entrepreneurship that Innovation Trail reporter Ryan Delaney met on a recent trip to Kenya.
With the slide of a heavy bolt, James Muturi walks into a newly built chicken coop to replenish the bird's water supply.
He started raising the chickens and growing crops with a few others after going through a training program for rural youth entrepreneurship run by the organization TechnoServe, called STRYDE.
Instructor Margaret Ngetha says those in their early 20s, like Muturi, can easily become unproductive in the rural economy.
"A majority of the youth are idle," she said while visiting the farm. "And when they're idle, they will get into drugs, they'll get into crime and they'll become a burden on their families."
TechnoServe gives participants three months of business training and then mentors them as they get their businesses up and running.
Read more about urban and rural entrepreneurs in Kenya from Innovation Trail and learn more about the STRYDE program.

Just finished building up the new bike. I looked at many of the tandem trikes Greenspeed, Trice, Wiz-Wheels and Logo. All of them are nice bikes, and as much as I would like I can't buy one of each.
Some offered everything I wanted, but had long lead times others just cost far too much. And others are more of a sport model and would not work as well for touring. The Troika from Organic Engines http://www.organicengines.com/ offered everything I wanted,
Take apart frame
Adjustable seats
Disk brakes front
Rear drum brake
Tandem hub spacing (145mm to 160mm)
Short lead time
The rear drum is a must on a tandem if your going to be riding in hilly areas, it can be used to control speeds on long down hills. A disk brake will overheat and fail when used as a drag brake. And using a rim brake will put all the heat into the rim, leading to very ugly things happening to the rear tire
I still need to finish adjusting everything, and build a custom rack so we can carry our bags. Mount the fenders and lights and touring season is almost here...

The search warrant shows that the fire could be arson and that someone could have murdered Jackson. However, investigators tell WITN that they aren't ruling out that it was accidental.
Detectives have also searched the home of someone who may be related to the case.

Here is a rundown of today's bowl game odds from ATS Consultants for January 2nd 2010. If you are looking for free NFL football betting picks on a daily basis be sure to sign-up for the ATS newsletter, featuring unmatched sports wagering information, free picks and expert analysis.
Five Bowl games on the Saturday menu, with the most intriguing game being Texas Tech and all of their controversy taking on Michigan State and their issues as well. Texas Tech of course, fired Head Coach Mike Leach last week after questions arose about his handling of a player. Meanwhile, Michigan State suspended 8 players for this game a few weeks ago. Should be interesting to say the least. Arkansas takes on East Carolina in what should be an absolute shootout in the Liberty Bowl. The Cotton Bowl will also be a close one, as Ole Miss takes on Oklahoma State. Good luck and enjoy.

text: Posted January 18, 2013 who's talking about fear and misanthropy? I'm talking about a lack of motivation to strive for the things i'm told as a society we need to strive for. I'm trying to detach myself from others' fear and misanthropy. Paranoid? Egocentric? I responded to the OP, well part for the OPs issues. I did not read anything else. general dislike of the human species in general.... a realization that people, myself included, just generally suck for the most part.... the societal structure that we live in... IE. consume, acquire, go to work, accrue debt, repeat.... feelings that seem to get stronger and stronger as the days go by... This pretty much defines misanthropy though there are many varying degrees, definitions (reasons for hate/mistrust, extent of teh feelings). Even you wanting to detach in a sense and go after teh simple life is exactly what misanthropists do. However they do vary, to say you're a misanthropist doesn't mean you ahte everyone, all the time. Or that you are going to go live by yourself until you die, completeley isolated from society, there are degrees, It's simply saying you're at a realizations that often humans hurt us more than help, get in the way more than help you, are wasteful destroying creatures with possesions that don't mean anything but humans think they do...people find themselves thinkging they do...Again, that is not to say all humans, just the majority and if this hasn't been your experience then more than likley you are a ucky bastard but hopefully not ignorant because you shoudl realize this is the common, general human experience. Definetley deals with misanthropy in a sense. Much more common in western cultures. I am clinically helping poeple right now (although very new to it) and I see much much worse...I'm talking poeple who need to do excersises before they interact with other people. Misanthropy is the general hatred, mistrust or disdain of the human species or human nature.... In Western philosophy, misanthropy has been connected to isolation from human society. In Plato's Phaedo, Socrates defines the misanthrope in relation to his fellow man: "Misanthropy develops when without art one puts complete trust in somebody thinking the man absolutely true and sound and reliable and then a little later discovers him to be bad and unreliable... arise partly from dislike and partly from ill-will..misanthropy does not necessarily equate with an inhumane attitude towards humanity...more of a criticism of conformity rather than people in general... http://en.wikipedia....iki/Misanthropy (yea wiki...buts its just a definition and not really broad enough anyhow) these are theories.

Well done, really cool concept. I can see a couple touching lips and hands as well as speech marks. Just out of interest did you try having the two parts of the mark slightly apart from one another? Might look even more solid as far as making out the speech marks goes...?

Great job mate. I really like the simplicity of this one.
mushkabella said on Feb. 02 '09
I think it's a great logo. Nice work! The only thing I have to say is that I'm starting to get tired of the quotations. Nonetheless, you took it to another level...in the same way Logomotive did with "InstaQuote":http://logopond.com/gallery/detail/38687. If it's going to be an overplayed image like this, you really have to nail the great idea...which you both did. Again, nice!

First of all, ASACP wishes to thank you for your ongoing support for the last seven years. It is sad to say that child pornography still exists on the Internet, however, because of your concern about child pornography, ASACP has been able to help the industry make a difference.
Since government investigations can take a long time, people occasionally ask, "Does reporting child pornography to ASACP really make a difference or are the reports just going into a black hole?" Sometimes it feels like this, even for the staff at ASACP. However, rest assured that with the enhanced relationship with the FBI-LA, NCMEC (National Center for Missing and Exploited Children), and now with Inhope.org, the ASACP hotline is becoming more effective in its mission (ASACP.org/press/press1003.html).
ASACP posts the latest news about ASACP on its press page (ASACP.org/pressreleases.html), so please check out this page a few times a month.
People have asked us to review ASACP's accomplishments for the last year. So much has happened at ASACP since August '02 that we thought it would be easier just to provide a summary with links to the detailed press releases:

Let's assume you're lounging around with a few companions playing computer games and somebody specifies a specific diversion that happens to be one of your top choices. "Gracious, that diversion's simple. So not worth the time," one of your companions says pretentiously. The others concur. Deep down, you realize that it is an amusement you happen to appreciate a considerable amount at the same time, apparently, not having any desire to wrangle about the issue, you oblige the group.
You have quite recently experienced what is ordinarily alluded to as associate weight. It is likely more exact to allude to this as companion impact, or social impact to receive a specific kind of conduct, dress, or state of mind with a specific end goal to be acknowledged as a feature of a gathering of your equivalents ("peers"). As a youngster, it's possible you've encountered the impact of associate impact in various distinctive zones, running from the garments you wear to the music you listen to.
Peer impact is not as a matter of course an awful thing. We are all affected by our companions, both adversely and emphatically, at any age. For teenagers, as school and different exercises remove you from home, you may invest more energy with your companions than you do with your folks and kin. As you turn out to be more autonomous, your companions actually assume a more noteworthy part in your life. Now and then, however, especially in passionate circumstances, peer impact can be difficult to oppose—it truly has ended up "weight"— and you may feel constrained to accomplish something you're uncomfortable with.
What exploratory examination lets us know about companion impact
"There are two primary components that appear to recognize youngsters from grown-ups in their basic leadership," says Laurence Steinberg, a scientist at Temple University in Philadelphia. "Amid early pre-adulthood specifically, young people are attracted to the quick remunerates of a potential decision and are less mindful to the conceivable dangers. Second, young people when all is said in done are as yet figuring out how to control their driving forces, to think ahead, and to oppose weight from others." These aptitudes grow bit by bit, as a high schooler's capacity to control his or her conduct shows signs of improvement all through youth.
As per Dr. B. J. Casey from the Weill Medical College of Cornell University, high schoolers are speedy and exact in settling on judgments and choices all alone and in circumstances where they have sufficient energy to think. Nonetheless, when they need to settle on choices without giving it much thought or in social circumstances, their choices are regularly affected by outside elements like associates. In a study subsidized by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), high schooler volunteers played a video driving diversion, either alone or with companions viewing. What the specialists found was that the quantity of dangers teenagers took in the driving diversion dramatically increased when their companions were looking when contrasted with when the adolescents played the amusement alone. This result demonstrates that teenagers may think that its more hard to control rash or unsafe practices when their companions are around, or in circumstances that are sincerely charged.
The positive side
While it can be hard for teenagers to oppose peer impact now and then, particularly without giving it much thought, it can likewise have a beneficial outcome. Pretty much as individuals can impact others to settle on negative decisions, they can likewise impact them to make positive ones. A teenager may join a volunteer task since the greater part of his or her companions are doing it, or get decent evaluations in light of the fact that the social gathering he or she has a place with thinks getting decent evaluations is vital. Actually, companions frequently urge each other to study, go for games, or take after new masterful interests.
Along these lines, peer impact can lead youngsters to participate in new exercises that can fabricate solid pathways in the cerebrum. As depicted in the article "High schoolers and Decision Making: What Brain Science Reveals," neural associations that are powerless or sometimes utilized are expelled amid immaturity through a procedure called synaptic pruning, permitting the cerebrum to divert valuable assets toward more dynamic associations. This implies youngsters have the potential, through their decisions and the practices they participate in, to shape their own particular mental health. In this manner, ability building exercises, for example, those physical, learning, and imaginative attempts that adolescents are regularly urged to attempt through positive companion impact—give fortifying difficulties, as well as can at the same time manufacture solid pathways in the mind.
Let's assume you're lounging around with a few companions playing computer games and somebody specifies a specific diversion that happens to be one of your top choices. "Gracious, that diversion's simple. So not worth the time," one of your companions says pretentiously. The others concur. Deep down, you realize that it is an amusement you happen to appreciate a considerable amount at the same time, apparently, not having any desire to wrangle about the issue, you oblige the group.

My speedometer stopped working last night, but it is working again. There are no warning lights on. The odometer is working just fine. I do notice the speedometer randomly jumps around about 1x per week. Could this be a bad sensor?

Four generations celebrate Mother's Day
Published: Sunday, May 10, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 8, 2009 at 8:36 a.m.
For Monetta Scott and her descendants, Mothers Day is the Big One, the largest local family get-together of the year.
One familys tree
Monetta Lawrence Scott, 90, married Otis Kinloch Scott and had two daughters.
* Oldest daughter Sondra Scott Trantham, married to Jack, age 67, had two daughters. Amanda Trantham married Roy Morgan III and had three children: Virginia, 18, Katherine, 16, and Jackson, 13. Monetta Trantham married C. Page Collie and had three boys, Isaac, 7, Ingram, 4, and now Camden, a newborn.
* Youngest daughter Linda Scott Riddle, 63, married Sam and had three sons. Sam Riddle Jr. married Caroline and had two sons and two daughters. Scott Riddle married Alicia and had a son and three daughters. Andrew Riddle married Denise and had three girls.
With four generations of women represented and three of those generations with children Mothers Day is a cherished tradition for the Scott clan in Henderson County.
The highlight of the day, naturally, revolves around food, served outdoors weather permitting, usually in a nearby park or forest.
Picnics have been Mommas favorite thing in the world, says Sondra Scott Trantham, Scotts 66-year-old daughter. Is there food? Oh yeah!
Mothers Day is like one big embrace for Monetta Scott, the 90-year-old matriarch who also answers to Momma, Nana, Big Netta and Ms. OK. Surrounded by her daughters, granddaughters, great granddaughters, sons in-law and great grandsons, Monetta will soak up the love as the younger family members take care of the details.
The picnics are so much fun, Sondra says. Everyone feels so free the kids can run around and play.
Given their mothers advancing age, planning for Mothers Day and other family events has been handed down to Sondra and her sister, Linda Scott Riddle, a 1964 graduate of Hendersonville High. Nonetheless, Nana Monetta, who turns 91 on June 4, is clearly the inspiration behind the traditions that bind this Hendersonville family so closely together.
We love her to pieces, says Scotts great-granddaughter, Virginia Morgan, 18, a senior at Hendersonville High School. Its great having her around.
Virginia Morgan is the oldest of Scotts 17 great-grandchildren. On June 10, she will become the third generation of the family to graduate from Hendersonville High.
The location of this years Mothers Day picnic has been a bit uncertain as the family anticipates the arrival of Scotts 18th grandchild. Typically close to 30 members of the family attend the mid-afternoon event.
After going to church together, well head up to somewhere like Pisgah Forest and eat there and hang out, Virginia says. It a lot of fun.
They also enjoy picnicking at Laurel Parks Little Laurel Green and at the Davidson River Campground in Pisgah National Forest.
Tradition rules at the familys Mothers Day gatherings: Be sure to bring your assigned dish, your sense of adventure and a good appetite.
Family members are assigned a specific food to make. Heres a sample of some family favorites: Cheese biscuits, deviled eggs, fried chicken, broccoli and cauliflower salad, homemade macaroni and cheese, baked beans, potato salad and banana pudding. Sweet tea is a given.
Virginia and her sister, Katherine Morgan, 16, a sophomore at HHS, will help their mom, Amanda Morgan, make cheese biscuits, their Mothers Day assignment this year.
They wont have any trouble following the recipe its been their picnic assignment for a while now. And they definitely wont fiddle with the recipe. Family recipes for each dish are strictly adhered to no new suspect ingredients permitted.
I made the green Jello salad the wrong way one Christmas, says Amanda Morgan with a laugh.
She thought shed never hear the end of it as everyone gathered, in formal clothing, around her great grandparents huge dining table, now passed down to the Riddle home in Hendersonville.
My great-grandfather said you can never really know someone until you put your feet under their table and vice versa, Amanda says. Thats why were so centered around sharing meals with others.
And theres one more rule for Mothers Day gatherings: Dont forget to bring a change of clothes.
Somebody always falls in the water, Sondra says. We always bring extra clothes its one of the lessons weve learned from Momma.
Family members still love to laugh about the time Amanda fell in Mills River in 1992 during a celebration at the North Mills River recreation area.
Weve never known not having water, says Sondra, whose sister has a house in North Myrtle Beach that has served as the site of many family get-togethers. Before upkeep became too much to deal with, the Scotts owned a house on Lake Lure where celebrations from Easter to the Fourth of July would also be held.
After their Mothers Day meal, the children will toss footballs and play with a plastic baseball and bat while the adults relax a bit.
Thanks to Nana
Amanda Trantham Morgan, 44, a 1982 graduate of Hendersonville High, is Monetta Scotts oldest grandchild.
Her younger sister, Monetta Trantham Collie, 34, HHS 92, is her grandmothers namesake. Her family nickname is Little Netta.
Their dad, Jack Trantham, a retired truck driver, praises the mothers in the family, including his wife Sondra.
Theyre the rock of that family, says Jack. Im extremely proud of them and so thankful to all of them.
Hes looking forward to the birth of grandson Camden Collie, due any day.
Im so excited about my new grandson! Jack says.
In addition to the two girls who attend HHS, the Morgans also have a son, Jackson, a seventh-grader at Mountain Community School.
Amanda Morgan feels blessed that her family has remained so close.
We all get along so well, she says. Its because of Nana.
Mothers Day has become the biggest local celebration for the extended Scott family because the various generations sometimes scatter to their husbands relatives to see their turkey cousins on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Family roots
The Scott family moved to Hendersonville from the Florence, S.C., area in 1946, when Sondra was 5 years old. (Sister Linda wasnt born yet.)
During the 1950s, Monetta and her husband, Otis Kinloch Scott, owned and operated Scotts Supply, a Hendersonville hardware store in the current location of Dreamweaver, on White Street near the Fresh Market.
Granddaughter Amanda Morgan recalls working in the family store while she was in high school. The Scotts sold the business the year she graduated.
Her grandfather, the late Otis Kinloch Scott, was known to store patrons and friends as Mr. OK, after his first two initials. His wife Monetta affectionately acquired the nickname Ms. OK..
Sondras husband Jack Trantham, a Hendersonville native, graduated from HHS in 1960. The two had been sweethearts since the eighth grade when they married in 1963.
Although Sondra ended up graduating from a private school in Hendersonville, she, too, attended HHS for a couple of years.
The next generation kept the family ties close. Amanda and her husband, Roy Morgan, who are both real estate title abstractors, used to live in a bungalow next door to the Trantham house in Hendersonville where she grew up. Now they live on Blythe Street.
These days Monetta Scott spends much of her time at her daughter Sondra Tranthams comfortable Laurel Park home.
The entire family is one of the most proper and decent shes ever met, says Amy Clark, Monettas longtime caregiver. They make her feel like a member of the family.
Although she doesnt speak as much as she used to, great grandmother Monetta listens intently as family members discuss their history and Mothers Day plans one recent afternoon. When daughter Sondra asks her mother hows shes doing, Monetta smiles mischievously and replies: Im Ms. OK!
Sondra turns back to her enthusiastic discussion of the family tree and their traditions. She frequently refers to the large family Bible to look up the dates of significant events.
By all indications, the next generation will keep the familys traditions intact.
No one I know has four generations of their family around, great granddaughter Virginia Morgan says proudly. I really appreciate it.

Glassdoor.com, an online jobs and career community where people share information about their workplaces, just released its list of 25 oddball questions that job candidates were asked this year. It turns out that job seekers shouldn't prepare only for common interview questions like "What are your strengths?" and "What are your weaknesses?" They should anticipate less conventional queries, too.

Update Notes

Update Notes
Updated on: 07/26/2015
Since we last visited OldNanny...
Old Nanny presents itself as the top site for mature and granny porn. Whether it is or not is up for debate, but there's no denying that the website provides granny lovers with smut they're sure to enjoy. If wrinkles, grey hairs and decades of sexual experience are what you look for in a woman, you'll be happy here.
There's nothing too fancy about the OldNanny website, but they've done a recent redesign that's cleaned up the look a bit. Its homepage displays a featured movie and the newest material. To see everything it has to offer, all you need to do is click on the links that lead to the video and photo sections. Another way of discovering the content is by using the model index.
These senior citizens can be seen taking themselves to orgasm using their fingers and a variety of toys and hooking up with lovers who are many years their junior. They get down and dirty with both guys and girls. It isn't uncommon to see the grannies taking part in FFM threesomes and if you look around enough, you'll even see GILFs exploring different fetishes.
There are 161 videos on the site right now and each one can be streamed in an embedded Flash player and downloaded. Older download options include Flash and Windows Media files, while the newer scenes only get you MP4s. All the formats allow you to enjoy the action in HD. I should note that the dialogue isn't in English, but subtitles are provided so you'll never feel lost.
Once you're done with the flicks, you can take some time to look through the photo section, but you'll notice that what you're really getting are sets of vid caps. The galleries are worth a glance, though, and look pretty good for screen captures. And you can save them in Zip files.
Nothing on the website is dated, but comparing the current amounts with our previous visit tells us that you get a new scene every 10 days or so (assuming they update on a regular schedule). You can use the time between updates to explore a couple of bonus sites: Frenzy BDSM and Oma Hotel. The latter brings you even more granny goodness.
With a decent number of HD videos, Old Nanny is a good website for GILF lovers. If you've got a thing for older ladies, you'll probably have a lot of fun with its raunchy content.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

East Peoria Community High School teamed up with the American Red Cross and 105.7 the "X" for the event. This is the 8th year they have partnered up.
This year, the drive is in honor of East Peoria student Morgan Ciota. She was killed in a car accident earlier this year.
"The need for blood is constant during the summer and even though the numbers still go down," East Peoria junior and volunteer Mike Rundle said. "That's why we do this for Morgan, because the accident victims are one of the main things that the blood goes to."

High-tech cocktails push the envelope
Technology-obsessed chef Dave Arnold devotes himself to making delectable cocktails using whiz-bang devices like centrifuges, red-hot pokers and tanks of liquid nitrogen at his new Manhattan bar, Booker & Dax. So it was fitting that there were moments during Arnold's demonstration at the International Culinary Center in Campbell, Calif., last week when the audience gasped audibly.
After telling some cautionary tales about how using liquid nitrogen improperly can yield grisly results — from frostbite to explosions that can cost people their hands — Arnold intentionally poured a little of the vaporous stuff on the kitchen counter facing the audience.
"It's incredibly mesmerizing," said Arnold, the New York-based director of culinary technology for the International Culinary Center. The super-cold nitrogen flowed like smoky water over the counter's edge and hit the floor with an icy clatter before disappearing. "Many, many things we use in the kitchen are incredibly dangerous — it's just a question as to whether you've been trained."
Arnold is a leader in what's called "modernist cuisine" or "molecular gastronomy," cooking techniques that experiment with foods' chemical reactions, sometimes aided by equipment such as vacuum-sealers and centrifuges or by additives that can turn vegetables and fruits into gels or foams.
Arnold said he doesn't use either term that much. "I've always been a gear head and a food guy," he told a student who asked what inspired him to apply technology to food.
In an interview earlier in the week, Arnold, 41, said he loves using centrifuges and pokers and the like in his cooking, because it allows him to create things in new ways. He can centrifuge nectarines, for example, to get great fresh juice for cocktails.
"I enjoy working on new techniques; it's what kind of gets me out of bed in the morning," he said. But the point of those techniques should be meals and drinks that taste good, he said, not tech-infused pedigrees for their own sake.
"My goal is to try to make things as delicious as possible," said Arnold, who also appeared at the SF Chefs culinary event last weekend. At the International Culinary Center workshop, Arnold did a little "nitro-muddling" for a drink he calls a Bangkok daiquiri. Using liquid nitrogen, he flash froze Thai basil leaves — he loves them for their mild licorice flavor — then crunched the brittle leaves with the end of a wooden rolling pin. Combined with white rum, simple syrup and lime juice, the basil produced a tangy cocktail.
"You see that? It's bright green," he said, sipping it. "It needs more lime."
He ignited Jaegermeister (remember that stuff from college?) with a 500-watt hot poker he made himself, then combined it with lemon juice and water for a tealike cocktail he invented for a recent appearance on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" (who seemed to really like Jaegermeister).
And he drew gasps and groans early in the demo for a decidedly low-tech but high-priced cooking maneuver: Arnold dumped an entire bottle of 15-year-old Glenlivet whiskey — about $50 worth of booze — into a pan to reduce it into flavoring for a scotch ice cream he planned to make toward the end of his demo.
"This is a rather spendy way to do this, " he admitted, the whiskey sending foot-high flames shooting into the air as it warmed.
Then again, Manhattan is a place where some people are always keen to spend money, he noted. At Booker & Dax — the bar within David Chang's Momofuku Sam Bar — most cocktails cost $14.
In addition to making two cocktails and the ice cream, Arnold dispensed various bits of advice to students—"There's no reason you should ever use old lime juice!"—as well as safety tips such as always wear goggles when using liquid nitrogen.
And he made sure to underline his point that cooks and bartenders should only care about using vacuum-sealers and centrifuges if they're making things that are yummy.
"We're not about being a cocktail palace. You're not coming to genuflect at the technology altar," he said. "You're coming to have a drink."
Chef Dave Arnold, technology director for the International Culinary Center and the mixology mastermind behind Booker and Dax, his cocktail bar within Momofuku Sam Bar in New York City, says these are among his current favorite ingredients to include in cocktails, in some form or another:
1. Thai basil
2. Apples (his favorite is Ashmead's Kernel, a drab-looking but flavorful English variety)
3. Horseradish
4. Nectarines and other stone fruit
5. Onions may be coming soon, too — Arnold said he's working on a cocktail with pressure-cooked onion juice, "but I haven't gotten there yet."
But don't try...
Arnold says experimenting with new techniques means making lots of mistakes along the way. Among those mistakes:
1. "I tried to distill wasabi once. That was horrible."
2. "I've never made a good coffee distillate that I really liked. Distilling coffee is horrible."
3. "Many hydrocolloid experiments go horribly wrong." Hydrocolloid "gums" thicken ingredients or render them as gels or liquids, but things don't always go smoothly. "When you're working on a new gum system ... you fail quite often," Arnold said.

KENNEWICK, Wash. (AP) — On Feb. 4 it will be nine years since 4-year-old Sofia Juarez disappeared in Kennewick.
Police believe she was abducted. There was an Amber alert. Officers searched homes, questioned more than a 1,000 people and chased tips from around the country and Mexico.
The Tri-City Herald reports (http://is.gd/llvwCp ) Sofia was featured on "America's Most Wanted," and her face appeared on a NASCAR race car and on semi-trucks across the nation's highways.
Sgt. Ken Lattin says investigators are frustrated they have no solid leads, but they're not giving up hope of finding her.
Lattin says Sofia is a young teenager now and might start asking questions about her past or where she lived when she was younger.

You can win $1,000 if your chili is judged as the best
Published: Tuesday, January 4, 2011 at 9:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 4, 2011 at 9:30 a.m.
HOUMA — Grab a drink and take your tastebuds for a ride at an upcoming chili cook-off in Houma.
The Krewe of Mardi Gras will have its 12th annual Chili Cook-Off from 9 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Jan. 8 at the Terrebonne Livestock and Agricultural Building at the Houma Air Base, 221 Moffet Road.
The cook-off is an annual fundraiser for the 650-plus-member krewe of men and women to help defray some of the parade costs, according to Marlene Jewell, president of the Krewe of Mardi Gras.
"Everyone has a fishing rodeo, so we decided to do a chili cook-off," said Cliff Pierce, the krewe's vice president. "It's something no one else was doing."
According to Pierce, there can be as many as 75 to 90 teams enter the cook-off. Each team of four or less can only enter one chili and must pay the $50 registration fee. Pre-registration is not required and tickets may be purchased at the door.

Thanks guys! I made Turtwgi my hero once because he's my fave starter, but I don't like that he can't use Earthquake effectively without hurting my allies. Like I said I beat the game with Piplup so I really love that guy. Dark/Water/Steel seems pretty good for evolution. Hmm. I could always use Wonder Mail to recruit other pokemon I want. I think that Umbreon, Lucario, Blissey and another pokemon for my team? I had an egg-hatched numel which was epic with Earth Power! I'm now thinking Piplup since it can have Water Pulse (Ranged), Blizzard (Entire Room), Flash Cannon (Ranged, Evolved), Peck? (PP Move, Coverage). Umbreon could have Moonlight (Entire Party Healing), Dark Pulse (All Arounder), Shadow Ball (range), maybe Psychic? I could also recruit Lucario! Aura Sphere (Baws ranged), Dark Pulse (All arounder), Flash Cannon (Range), Detect? I need a 4th member. I'm thinking Sky-Forme Shaymin! Energy Ball (Range), Air Slash, Seed Flare, Sweet Kiss/Quick Attack/Filler. I think I'll use this team! Thanks!
