New to forum and Jeep ownership
Hi all, my name is Tony, i live in Frederick, Md. And I just bought a 90 yj. First jeep so I'm green as heck. 114k, 6 cylinder, garage kept since 93 and has been a daily driver, he says it's never been used off road. Don't know if that's bad or good. Small oil leak, a few drops when I park overnight. I havn't tracked it down yet. 3 very small rust spots on tub, nothing I can't fix myself. Motor does make a bit of noise but I understand that's typical...nothing alarming. Totally stock, no mods or add-ons. Seats are worn out but covered. So far it looks like he was honest about it but I guess I'll be finding out more as time goes by.
Yep you will definitely learn about your YJ very fast, no worries though, the guys on this site is on it when you need assistance!
Welcome Wagon
Welcome aboard.:wavey: I'm sure when you're ready to ask questions, most of us will respond. Most of us have "been there, Done that". So, there are no dumb questions. If we can help you avoid our mistakes, we're more than happy too.:dance:
What are your future intentions for your new little friend? Daily Driver or Off-Road only, or somewhere in between?
First off welcome to the forum, now that is out of the way, you should know that a little oil leak is expected, at least in my jeeping experience. When you fix one real another springs up somewhere, they're a lot of fun to work on and get your hands dirty, and nothing better then sling the doors off taking the top off and driving wherever you want to go. Now that pure official let's see some pictures of that yj!
My new yj
It came with a new set of Goodyear wranglers (5) on rims which I will be putting on very soon.
I'm trying to post a couple of pics but iPads are not very pic-posting friendly.
Welcome to the wonderful world of JEEPdom!!! Those seats can be replaced very cheaply if you know where to go and what to look for. As far as small oil leaks, they just give it character. Keep an eye on your fluid levels and keep them full. NEVER allow it to run hot! It's really expensive when you have a cracked head or block. Besides, a JEEP just deserves better... LOL Looking forward to some pics of that YJ!
Welcome to the Forum Tony

Well, the drivers side seatbelt has to be hand cranked out....tightens VERY effenciantly though. I'll have to do something about that. Tires are 15"and it came with a new set of 5 on rims. Changing those over this weekend. drives impressivly smooth and shifts into 4wd really easilly. I think...I hope I got a good one.
Welcome. Nice YJ. Looks like a nice clean slate to make it into whatever you like.
I know! "Garage Kept" is a very loosely thrown around term here, I discovered this while shopping for my Gold Wing. I looked at some 20 year old bikes that were listed as "garage kept" that might have seen the inside of shed twice in their existence. Total rust buckets. I hit the jackpot on this one. The trick now will be figuring out how to prevent the little rust it has from spreading.

AMA president Steve Hambleton calls for civility in Queensland public specialists' contract dispute
- From: The Courier-Mail
- March 28, 2014
A GROUP formed to fight the Newman Government's doctor contracts says it is stockpiling pro-forma letters of resignation from medicos until it reaches a "critical mass" of public hospital staff.
But Australian Medical Association president Steve Hambleton has distanced himself from the tactic and called for a ceasefire to the "nastiness, name calling and emotion".
Plot to block contract agreement
DOCS aunch TV blitz over contracts
Dr Hambleton said the AMA was an "observer" to the taskforce behind the plan to stockpile resignation letters, but said it was "not the AMA's strategy".
He called for doctors to "coldly and calmly" examine the Newman Government's offer to introduce safeguards through an addendum to their contracts in an effort to solve key concerns.
Nine doctors have resigned from Queensland Health since the dispute started. Some were ready to resign on Monday to meet the three-month notice period before the expiration of their workplace agreements on June 30, but cutting the notice period to two months helped the Government dodge that bullet.
Director-general Ian Maynard made the decision to give doctors more time to decide whether to sign their individual contracts by the April 30 deadline or resign.
Health Minister Lawrence Springborg said the change would help "remove the pressure on doctors from unions demanding they resign their positions by March 31".
The Courier-Mail yesterday revealed that the head of the Australian Salaried Medical Officers Federation, Dr Tony Sara, plotted to draw out talks with the Newman Government by holding off on revealing its "over-my-dead-body" issues until late in the talks.
Vice-president of the doctors union's Queensland branch Stephen Morrison yesterday confirmed the taskforce was stockpiling doctor resignations to force the Newman Government back to the negotiation table.
"It's a mark of the intensity of the frustration of the doctor workforce," Dr Morrison said.
"This mass resignation strategy is symptomatic of the desperation (of doctors)."
But Dr Hambleton called for both sides to end the "pressure cooker environment".
He implored doctors to "look coldly and calmly" at an addendum to their contracts offered by the Government to try to allay concerns and to "get rid of all the nastiness".
"The stakes are so high and there's potential for so much harm," Dr Hambleton said.
"Can we just take some of the heat out so sensible people can sit down and think about what's on offer and sensibly go through it.
"We just have to move away from the emotion, move away from the name calling and start looking at an outcome."

Stationery Cards
Young Jenny Greenteethby Mara Thornhincher
10% Off + Free Shipping Today!
Set of folded stationery cards printed on bright white, smooth card stock to bring your personal artistic style to everyday correspondence. Each card is blank on the inside and includes a soft white, European fold envelope for mailing.
The neighborhood kids liked this one, but it made them very nervous when I explained about the habits of a Jenny Greenteeth. I assured them that it was much too cold in the far North for them to be much bother to anyone. Scary water fairies such as this are just lonely anyway, and turn bitter and mean as they get older. Look at those fish-eating teeth, who wouldn't be a little concerned?

Getting pre-built binaries using gclient
In most cases, you don't need to build Valgrind yourself.
We already have pre-built Valgrind binaries for Linux and Mac OS 10.5 and 10.6 in SVN.
These binaries are not checked out automatically, you need to specify the following rule in your
.gclient custom_deps section of your
src client:
{ "name" : "src",
"url" : <...>,
"custom_deps" : {
<your old custom_deps here>
and then do
gclient sync (this will download around 40Mb of binaries).
Getting the binaries manually using git
From your src directory, run
git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/deps/valgrind/binaries.git third_party/valgrind
These binaries won't get updated automatically by the sync process, so you'll want to manually `
git pull` them occasionally.
Building binaries for local use
If for some reason the binaries from SVN don't work for you, you can build the binaries for your architecture in some local directory.
OS X users: note that Valgrind isn't supported on 10.8, and nobody is working on the support right now.
If you need to debug addressability issues, consider using AddressSanitizer (http://dev.chromium.org/developers/testing/addresssanitizer).
If you strongly need to run Valgrind on OS X, try using a 10.6 or 10.7 machine (e.g. connect to one of the buildbots).
First of all, make sure you have automake installed:
sudo apt-get install automake
Then, make sure you aren't linking with gold, otherwise the build may fail.
If you've set CC/CXX to point to gold, unset them before doing the steps listed below.
mkdir valgrind-build-for-chromium
# please don't delete this directory
mkdir binaries
svn co http://src.chromium.org/chrome/trunk/deps/third_party/valgrind/scripts
cd scripts
sh build-valgrind-for-chromium.sh
# You should probably read this script to get better understanding of what's happening.
These steps may help you to try your local patches to Valgrind if you want to.
You'll need to define CHROME_VALGRIND environmental variable pointing to your local build directory before running src/tools/valgrind/chrome_tests.sh
OR you can do
cd ../binaries
sudo ln -s local /usr/local/valgrind-10880
Updating binaries in the SVN
If you need to update the Valgrind binaries in the SVN (e.g. add a new patch, get a newer version of Valgrind, etc),
please do the following on two machines (Linux 64-bit and Mac 10.5):
First, make sure you have automake installed (e.g. sudo apt-get automake)
mkdir valgrind-for-chromium-client
cd valgrind-for-chromium-client
gclient config svn://.../trunk/deps/third_party/valgrind # use the SVN path provided with your commiter access details.
gclient sync
cd valgrind/scripts
sh build-valgrind-for-chromium.sh # this will overwrite some files in valgrind/binaries/<your platform>/
cd ../binaries
svn status # check that the binaries have changed
You may put valgrind-for-chromium-client directory into a shared network location if you need update the binaries for Linux and Mac at the same time.
Please note that the absolute path to valgrind-for-chromium-client will be put into Valgrind binaries!
Configuring Valgrind buildbot slave
If you need to add a new Valgrind slave to the buildbot, please add
'needs_valgrind' : True,
'gclient_env': { 'GYP_DEFINES' : valgrind_gyp_defines}})
to the slave factory definition in the corresponding master.cfg
This will pull Valgrind binaries from SVN (see http://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/dev/developers/how-tos/using-valgrind/building-valgrind for the details) and some definitions to build Valgrind-friendly Chrome.
Please see Memory Waterfall master.cfg for the examples.

Possibly the most vocal critic of the symbolic AI notion of agency has been Rodney Brooks, a researcher at MIT who apparently became frustrated by AI approaches to building control mechanisms for autonomous mobile robots. In a 1985 paper, he outlined an alternative architecture for building agents, the so called subsumption architecture [Brooks, 1986]. The review of alternative approaches begins with Brooks' work.
In recent papers, [Brooks, 1991a][Brooks, 1991b][Brooks, 1990], Brooks has propounded three key theses:
If Brooks was just a Dreyfus-style critic of AI, his ideas might not have gained much currency. However, to demonstrate his claims, he has built a number of robots, based on the subsumption architecture. A subsumption architecture is a hierarchy of task-accomplishing behaviours. Each behaviour `competes' with others to exercise control over the robot. Lower layers represent more primitive kinds of behaviour, (such as avoiding obstacles), and have precedence over layers further up the hierarchy. It should be stressed that the resulting systems are, in terms of the amount of computation they need to do, extremely simple, with no explicit reasoning, or even pattern matching, of the kind found in symbolic AI systems. But despite this simplicity, Brooks has demonstrated the robots doing tasks that would be impressive if they were accomplished by symbolic AI systems. Similar work has been reported by Steels, who described simulations of `Mars explorer' systems, containing a large number of subsumption-architecture agents, that can achieve near-optimal performance in certain tasks [Steels, 1990].

Tactical Pants - Galls
A popular choice for public safety professionals, the Galls Tactical Pants are...
The scare resulted from a report that two Middle Eastern men had attempted to pay cash for an ambulance replica from a shop in New Jersey. After questioning it was determined that the men wanted the ambulance for a movie, not a terrorist plot.
Even though the New Jersey incident proved to be a false alarm, authorities say the threat of terrorists using emergency vehicles as bomb delivery platforms is very real. Palestinian suicide bombers have reportedly used ambulances to deliver suicide bombers to high security areas.
To address such concerns New York City EMS units have equipped their fleet of ambulances with color placards that change daily. The placards let emergency and police personnel know that the vehicle is genuine. In addition, fire, emergency, and police personnel are being asked to keep very close watch on their vehicles.

My Basket : (

It is always a pleasure to cook in a well done-up kitchen, as it helps you navigate with your daily chores seamlessly. At AQVA, our range of sinks, taps and appliances is as versatile and attractive as our bathroom accessories. We are now recognized as a major force in the UK Market. We are committed to offering the highest standard of products to suit every home and budget. Chosen for you is a whole range of stuff from mixer sink taps to wide array of sink and all the small add-on parts that complete your kitchen from the best brands available in the market.
A sink is an integral part of your new kitchen. And choosing the right sink can be difficult because there are an awful lot of options out there. Today we're talking about what you need to consider when going for a new kitchen sink, so that you can make a great decision.
Traditionally, modern sinks are made out of stainless steel. This is a good combination of light weight, affordability and durability. Cast iron sinks are another popular choice, though the enamel can be easily chipped, and the weight of cast iron means that installation is not possible for all kitchens. Cast acrylic is a very affordable option, but it's worth remembering that you won't get the same durability with acrylic that you will with stainless steel. Finally, composite sinks are another option. The quality of these sinks varies depending on how much granite is used in the composite material; more granite means more durability, but also more weight.
Next, you'll have to think about the bowl configuration of your sink. There are plenty of options here, from single bowl sinks, to double bowls, or draining board and bowl combinations. Your choice really depends on how you use your sink, so think carefully about your washing up habits while deciding the best configuration for you.
Generally sinks are either drop in or under mounted. Drop in is best for lighter weight materials, whilst heavier materials such as cast iron usually need to be mounted from underneath to support their weight. The installation method you choose will depend on what kind of sink material you choose, as well as the material your kitchen surfaces are made of. If in doubt, it's best to consult a kitchen fitter to make sure that your sink is installed in the correct fashion.

Actually, I changed my mind, I think the probability is 1/3. If I flip both the coins I will get 3 heads and one tail. One of these heads will be on the "honest" coin, therefore 1/3. Does this seem right?
Hi all.
I have a question. Let's say I have two coins, one that's "honest" with heads on one side and tail on the other, and one "dishonest" with heads on both sides. If I then put my hand in my pocket and pick one up without looking at it, flip it, and get heads, then what is the probability I have the "honest" coin?
My initial thought is that the probability is 50%, as I pulled it out of my pocket without looking, but I have a feeling I am wrong. How do I calculate this?
Help would be much appreshiated!

Disney and Pixar have released the third trailer for Brave telling us more about Princess Merida's family life with her mother and father and three brothers.
"Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus and Queen Elinor. Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin, surly Lord Macintosh and cantankerous Lord Dingwall. Merida's actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Witch for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it's too late."
Brave features the voices of Kelly Macdonald as Merida, Emma Thompson as the Queen and Billy Connolly as the King and hits cinemas on 22nd June USA and 17th August UK.
"If you had the chance to change your fate, would you?"

The music of Greece is as diverse and celebrated as its history. Greek music separates into two parts: Greek traditional music and Byzantine music, with more eastern sounds. These compositions have existed for millennia: they originated in the Byzantine period and Greek antiquity; there is a continuous development which appears in the language, the rhythm, the structure and the melody. Music is a significant aspect of Hellenic culture, both within Greece and in the diaspora.

By Mary Small, Colorado State University Cooperative Extension agent Urban Integrated Pest Management
The last average frost in the metro Denver area varies from May 15 to May 25, so wait until near the end of May. When you do set out plants, begin with days only and put plants in a protected location where they are not exposed to drying winds and high sunlight. In their native settings, many of our houseplants are tropical understory plants that don't require enormous amounts of light. Colorado's intense sunlight easily can damage plants that have spent the winter indoors under lower light intensities. After about ten days of being outside during the day, and assuming your area is frost-free, plants then can be left outdoors around the clock. Avoid placing plants in open sunlight and check the soil regularly for an increased need for water. House plants that have summered outdoors will need a similar conditioning regimen when you bring them inside in the fall.

Are You Ready for Retirement?
william taufic
"Don't invest in any financial product if you can't explain it to a friend," warns Julie Jason, a lawyer, money manager and author, whose new book is The AARP Retirement Survival Guide: How to Make Smart Financial Decisions in Good Times and Bad. "What I mean is that you have to not just hear the message, not just feel good about the message, but you also have to be able to explain what can go wrong and accept what can go wrong." Investors should have an attitude of "healthy skepticism," she says. "People buy these crazy things that they can't get out of, and you especially don't want to do that if you are retired."
Having spent the past twenty years as founder and president of Jackson, Grant Investment Advisers in Stamford helping people plan and invest for their retirement, the Greenwich resident says she's observed that the key to success is not simply how affluent you are. "It's about attitudes and about awareness. The two most important things are to increase your awareness of cash flow and be mindful of the fact that you don't have to have a huge amount of money to have a secure retirement." People need to know how much they spend on what she terms "musts" (basic expenses such as housing, food, transportation, medical costs, taxes) and how much on "wants" (entertainment, travel, gifts and other discretionary items). She explains in her book how to calculate the amount of income needed to support a secure retirement, taking into account factors as varied as lifestyle, medical conditions and taxes.
The book addresses issues that confront both inexperienced and sophisticated investors. It analyzes the pros and cons of a range of investment options from the familiar IRAs, CDs and mutual funds to the more complex GMIBs (guaranteed minimum income benefits) and equity-indexed annuities, to name a few. There's information on how to evaluate these and other financial products and where to get more information on them. There's a chapter on who needs a financial adviser and what to ask when selecting one (how is he paid?) and another on scams and dubious sales pitches (there's no free lunch at a "free" lunch or dinner seminar!). Plus there are worksheets for managing assets, income and expenses, a risk assessment, case studies and more.
The AARP Retirement Survival Guide is Julie's fifth book on financial topics. Although she had originally planned to write a portfolio management book telling high-net-worth people how to structure their portfolios for retirement, that plan changed after she linked up with AARP, and the focus was broadened to include individuals with more modest means. "That was a challenge for me because how do you tell people how to manage their portfolio if they have no portfolio?" she comments. "I decided to focus on how to find ways to improve your situation no matter how much money you have. The book is simple enough for anyone to understand, especially the cash-flow concept, but it also goes deeper for those with some knowledge and it builds on that knowledge.
"I write books when I have something to say," Julie says. "I wrote this book because it's not self-evident how people should move to a retirement portfolio." Finding time to write is difficult, she adds, because along with running a money management practice, she produces a weekly newspaper column and serves as an arbitrator and mediator with FINRA (the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) to resolve disputes between investors and financial firms. In November she completed a three-year term on the federal Taxpayer Advocacy Panel, which is appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury and advises the IRS on strategic initiatives and taxpayer issues. Since moving to Greenwich in 1976, she's also taught courses on investing at Norwalk Community College and Greenwich Continuing Education and has volunteered for a number of local nonprofits. Julie has two daughters, Ilona Eken, thirty-three, who works as affixed-income analyst at Bank of America Securities, and Leila Jason, twenty-nine, who recently graduated from Fordham Law School.
"When I'm writing, I take a break from the volunteer activities and do it on nights and weekends," she says. "My family knows that if I'm in the middle of writing a book, they are not going to see me much." The idea for her investment column in Greenwich Time and the Stamford Advocate came after she wrote two books on 401(k) plans. Julie decided to write the first one, You and Your 401(k), because she had a client who was a senior attorney at an accounting firm who wasn't participating in his 401(k). "I went to the bookstore to buy him something on the topic," she recalls, "and I realized that there was nothing in print at the time that compared a 401(k) plan with an investment that you could make on your own. From the point of view of a money manager, I wanted to know if this was a good deal or not." The second book, The 401(k) Plan Handbook, offers guidance for sponsors setting up the plans. Realizing that the public was generally not aware of the value of 401(k)s, she suggested writing about them to the two newspapers, and the column was born.
Tall, with stylish blond hair and a straight-forward manner, Julie makes complicated topics easy to understand, an ability that's rooted in her background. Her mother was an ophthalmologist and her father was an electrical engineer with a Ph.D., who held more than twenty patents. "My father would have me proofread his patent applications to earn my allowance," Julie says, adding with a laugh that she would sometimes run in the other direction when she saw him approaching. "That helped me analyze something very complex and break it down to its simplest components. You have to figure out what really makes something work in order to explain it. I find that process curious, challenging and extremely satisfying."
Julie grew up in Ohio in a close-knit family surrounded by friends and dogs and horses. She loved books, writing stories and keeping her journal. "Reading, writing and riding, that was my childhood," she recalls. Although she originally wanted to be a doctor, and at age ten used to practice using both her left and right hands so she could be a surgeon, she ended up earning a law degree at Columbia. Julie chose Baldwin-Wallace College in Berea, Ohio, after her parents said they'd buy her a car if she attended college close to home (she got a Karmann Ghia).
After working for a New York law firm for a couple of years, she joined Paine Webber as a securities lawyer and became assistant general counsel. She accepted a chance to transfer to the business side to learn about the markets. She started her training as a runner on the floor of the COMEX. "I went from having a staff and sitting at a leather-embossed desk to wearing tennis shoes and no staff and no chair," she says. After a couple of moves she was made president and director of Paine Webber Futures Management, the firm's commodity pool subsidiary. "I got my start working in a very pressured, very competitive corporate environment," Julie observes, "and I enjoyed every minute of it." She founded Jackson, Grant Investment Advisers, named after Stonewall Jackson and Ulysses S. Grant "for strategy and tactics," in 1989.
Among the lessons Julie has drawn from her years of advising clients is the importance of couples being what she terms "in sync" with each other about finances. "When they reach retirement age, couples that are successful think of retirement as a joint venture, almost like a business. They understand cash flows, where the money is coming from, and they jointly meet with the financial adviser and the attorney and the accountant."
Couples likely to have difficulty have not shared financial responsibilities, Julie says. "When I talk to older retirees, one of the things I sometimes hear is, 'I don't want to talk to my husband about this because he's my hero, my leader, and I don't want to challenge him.'" But
problems can arise if that husband predeceases his wife, after retirement or earlier. Julie tells about a woman who suddenly lost her husband when he was in his fifties. "He had made all the financial decisions," she says. "The widow was referred to a wealth management group with no experience dealing with someone in her situation. She signed paperwork in blank and had them fill it in, and later there was trouble with her account."
If a couple has not established a joint approach to their finances, Julie cautions that money should not be the focus of their initial conversation about retirement. "It has to start with a discussion of hopes and dreams and fears." The couple should talk about what happens if one of them gets sick? What if one gets dementia thirty years from now? What if they run out of money?
"If they can hear each other out and not judge what that person's saying, not say, 'that's never going to happen, don't worry about it,'" Julie says, then the couple can discuss their financial goals and issues like what they want a financial adviser to do, or not do, afterward.
Baby boomers preparing for retirement face a different challenge from their parents' generation, according to Julie. People who grew up during the Depression know how to save and be frugal, whereas baby boomers might borrow to "fund their indulgences," she says. "Have you ever met a baby boomer who likes to budget?" she asks. "It's not in their DNA. Maybe you could just go out and buy anything you want when you were working, but you can't retire on plastic."
Even post-baby boomers who are years away from retirement should optimize their savings and invest them appropriately. "When you are twenty or thirty or forty, you can invest the way your brother or friend invests; you can buy some stocks, some mutual funds and invest for growth," she says. "But when you are investing for retirement, what your brother or friend does has no relevance. You now need to
do a cash-flow analysis and structure an investment portfolio that will last a lifetime."
Both baby boomers and retirees are likely to be pursued by people who want to manage their money, Julie warns. "You have a bull's-eye painted on your forehead," she writes in her book. "Expect to be impressed, befriended, cajoled, enticed and wined and dined by multitudes of financial advisers." In a chapter on sales pitches, scams and other tactics to guard against, she describes a company in Massachusetts that ran deceptive seminars for retirees who owned their own homes. The firm invented titles like "Certified Elder Planning Specialist" so salesmen could pose as legitimate financial advisers in order to persuade people to buy questionable financial products.
It's important to be able to distinguish among the different kinds of individuals and firms that offer financial advice and products. People investing in the stock market forty years ago were accustomed to using a registered representative, or stockbroker, who earned commissions on the trades he executed, she says. After commissions were deregulated in 1975, "Brokerage firms started creating their own products and providing their own in-house research, and the industry changed. Now the stockbroker is the distribution arm for the firm."
To help sort out the array of titles and specialties that can confuse today's investor, Julie's book divides financial advisers into several general categories according to what license or registration is required and what agency, if any, regulates them. (See "Who's Who," page 73.) She cautions that there are a variety of titles—such as wealth manager, financial consultant, senior specialist—that are often conferred for marketing purposes. Before selecting anyone to advise you, she stresses, learn how he is regulated and how he is paid.
Not everyone will want, or need, a financial adviser to handle their retirement portfolio, Julie adds. People who can do their own research on financial products, enjoy picking their stocks and are able to keep track of their investments fit that profile. "It's monitoring that makes a portfolio a success. If you are not watching what's going on, you really can't make a reasonable decision," she stresses.
If you decide you need a professional financial manager, Julie's book contains sixteen questions to ask when interviewing them, ranging from what is their professional background to how they view your objectives and risk tolerance and how they plan to achieve those objectives. At Jackson, Grant, Julie says, she spends time with clients to understand their goals and to learn if she can improve their portfolios before deciding whether to work with them.
Do-it-yourselfers are not an appropriate fit for her firm, she says, nor are people whom she believes have overly optimistic expectations. She describes one such couple in their seventies who came to her at the peak of the Internet bubble in early 2000 with a "perfectly sound" portfolio of stocks and bonds that was significantly under performing the Nasdaq. They said they wanted her to invest their entire portfolio in Internet stocks. "I politely declined to take them on as clients but suggested they consider not making any changes at all," Julie says.
"I am a skeptic," she tells people.
"I don't believe everything I read, and I don't believe everything I hear. I want to know what can go wrong."

Postdoctoral Fellow – Cancer Genome Project/ Inspire2Live
Job Reference - 81361
The Cancer Genome Project (CGP) at The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute is at the forefront of applying the latest technologies in genome analysis in the study of human cancer. The central aim is to comprehensively characterise the full repertoire of genomic alterations that can contribute to cancer, thus empowering improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
Applicants are sought for a Postdoctoral Fellow position available within the CGP, funded by the Inspire2Live Foundation. The research will involve the use of newly developed cancer cell organoids in high-throughput drug screens to identify molecular biomarkers of anti-cancer drug response. The CGP currently houses a high-throughput drug screen of >1000 human cancer cells and is exploring the role of novel cell lines to compliment this resource. Conditions have been established for long-term expansion of cancer stem cells from colon cancer using 3D laminin-based gels and a cocktail of growth factors. Similar protocols have been developed to culture organoids from prostate, breast, pancreas and lung cancers. Once conditions are optimized for a particular organ type, stem cells can be expanded for periods > 1 year, while retaining a stable genome and maintaining the original tissue identity. We propose to investigate the use of organoid cultures as a model system to define mutational signatures of drug response in cancer.
Essential Skills
The successful candidate will have a PhD in a scientific discipline. As interactions between internal team members and external collaborators will be key, they will have excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to prioritise tasks in order to work independently.
Ideal Skills
Experience in cell culture and cell-based assays, in particular those that are high-content and/or high-throughput.
Experience in stem cell culture would be an advantage.
Other information
The Cancer Genome Project (CGP) at the Institute has led the way in the systematic analysis of cancer genomes by using the human genome sequence and high throughput mutation detection techniques to identify somatically acquired sequence variants/mutations and hence identify genes critical in the development of human cancers (http://www.sanger.ac.uk/genetics/CGP/).
Postdoctoral Fellows are typically in their first or second postdoctoral position as part of a period of early career research training. This is a two year fixed-term contract. Successful applicant(s) who have submitted their PhD thesis and are awaiting their PhD award to be confirmed will be placed on a transitional pay point, currently £26,103. On confirmation applicants will be moved on to the pay scale above.

Dear Faithful of Southeastern Wisconsin:
In the aftermath of the tragic school shootings in Newtown, Connecticut, we want to reassure you that we are doing everything in our power to ensure the safety of the children you have entrusted to our care.
Safety policies and procedures are in place at all our Catholic schools and parishes and are frequently reviewed by school and parish personnel. In light of recent events, these policies and procedures have become a special focus of our attention and concern. In addition, all schools and parishes have an established crisis and security plan.
This difficult time presents a unique opportunity for us to remind our children, youth, and each other of the importance of God's place in our lives. Both individual and communal prayer is essential, as are positive and supportive interpersonal communications. We are providing our schools and parishes with resources that may assist them in this regard.
Even as adults, we struggle to find hope in experiences of evil like this. The youngest members of our community, our children and youth, are especially vulnerable to the fear and anxiety that may arise from external influences. We suggest that you offer them the opportunity to discuss their feelings and, if they have concerns, give simple, honest, age-appropriate answers to questions they may ask. Reassure them that they are deeply loved and appreciated by their family, community, and God.
As members of the Church, we rely on our faith and on each other in our efforts to provide a safe environment for everyone.
In faith,

guys, im looking at getting a graphics press, pretty much settled on an M&R renegade with takeoff, uv dryer, etc. at least thats the one i want.
anyway, i plan on doing the ususal 18x24's and 12x18's. These would be nearly 100% of my "forseen" buisness.
i am looking at the 40x56 renegade though. i have a tendancy not to underbuy on anything, and i want to have the ability to go bigger if i need to.
the big thing is, since i have never screen printed, and i know most of the buisness will be real estate signs, would it be much of a hassle printing the smaller signs on a larger press, really no difference... or should i get one with a screen size more along the lines of the size i anticipate printing?
thanks in advance...
Well, since you have never screen printed before, Are you sure you want too? If I were to start all over again, I would find a quality printer to do the work for me. I'd spend my time finding the work and delivering the finished product!If you think about it you can make more $$ per job if you just sell and deliver. It takes a fair amount of talent to screen print. having never done it before I'd say you are not going to just start printing deliverable product!
I've been printing for 15 years and some times things just don't want to be printed!
To your question about printing small sign on a large press? First off you will be making the same size screen and the print stroke will be the same as printing the larger size pc. so why waste the emulsion,ink and clean up on the larger press for a small print? If your going to do 18 x 24 buy a press for that!
I would recommend getting the larger size press. You can gang up the artwork to print 2 up, 4 up, 0r 6 up per sheet. Two 18x24 would be 36x24, or 4 up would be 36x 48. That would fit nicely on the press and would bring your run lengths down in size. You can do the math for the 12x18's.lol.
You can easily put a smaller screen in one of these presses. They are completely adjustable.
Here is something to think about.
1. Do you have the room for the larger size press?
2. Can you output the larger size film that the press will require for the screens?
3. Larger size press means larger size screens, wash tanks, vacuum systems, flood bars & squeegees, squeegee sharpeners, screen storage areas, etc.
4. Will you be able to cut down a multi up sheet after printing, or do you have a cutter to accommodate the larger size sheet.
If you use the smaller screens and print the signs 1up, the film will be cheaper, and every thing else can be downsized, but your run lengths will increase and cut in on your productivity. If you run an 18x24, 1000 impressions, a 36x48(4 up) would only be 250 impressions. This comes in handy when you are running multi colour jobs.
Hope this helps.
Best regards, Peter Duff.
Hi Bruce,
Have you printed on a Renegade before?
The press can take smaller size screens, and you can adjust the flood and print strokes to go only where you need them to, so as not to waste time.
I do agree, that subbing out jobs to qualified printers is a good idea, but we all have to start some where, and 18x24 signs is a good place to start. I only wish that we had a press like that to start our business with. If this guy is willing to make an investment like that to start out his business, then good for him, as long as he is willing to put in the time to learn the trade.
Best of luck to him.
Peter Duff.
thanks. actually i have been researching for quite some time. right now im large format digital. im in the process of building a new shop, so ill definately have the room.
my biggest concern was if it would be "harder" to run the smaller coro jobs on a larger press, i guess you could compare it to trying to cross the street in a jumbo jet. would it make the task more difficult?
i also overbuy everything i get. It usually helps bypass growing pains.
Also, i dont have a cutter, just digital, lamination, sandblasting stuff. This is someting i plan on looking into as well. any suggestions on these?
thanks for the pros and cons. so the consensus is to get the larger press??
good morning,
what kind of ink are you planning on using? conventional or u.v.? if conventional i would suggest conveyor drying instead of racks and with a press built to handle the standard 18x24 would be the way i would go. also, you can save by buying quantities of pre cut sizes and if you move to larger run numbers or sizes, this smaller press will give you more versetility in production when adding the larger press. also, depending on the press, the typical entry level larger press will be slower per print due to the cycle.
hope this helps.
I would say to buy the larger press. We have two 52x84 RenegadeXL presses and run everything on the pins and takeoff, to standardize the set-up of the screens. We run 48"x84" down to 6"x6" jobs on these presses, using appropriate size screens for the jobs of course. The presses can print as fast as a smaller one, all you have to do is limit the flood and print stroke to the area that you want to print, and or, speed up the flood and print speeds if possible. We print about 650 Impressions per hour at the 22x28 inch size
Let me know if there is anything else that I can help you with.
Best regards, Peter Duff.
No, I've never printed on a Renagade.
I just bought two of Your old presses over the past 3 weeks! The first one I purchased was Just too Big! So I sold it and bought your 22 x 28. I plan on getting it wired up this weekend. I understand that a press has adjustments but it's not a 5 minute deal to switch things over? But since this guy has the room for a big press why not? I also think since he has never printed before, he may be in for a few suprises!! That's all.
Hi Bruce,
Ahhh... now I get where you are coming from...LOL. So you're the guy who bought the M&M 's from us. Well let me fist start of by saying I am sorry to hear about the first press being too big for you shop.
Working on those presses does have all of the limitations that you mentioned on your fist post. The bigger size M&M 's are much slower Vs the smaller sizes.
Much better to go with the smaller size M&M's press, for the 18x24 signs. (Not the case with a renegade).
The screen size should be a constant, standardized size, because the time it takes to make adjustments is far to long, with the M&M's.
Can they be adjusted? Yes... but not in an efficient, productive manner.
It still beats the hell out of pulling a thousand plus prints, 3 colours or more, by hand though.
I am sure that the guy is in for some speed bumps along the way. It would be foolish to think other wise. But we will be here to help him out when he does.
Thanks for the reply. I hope the V-22 works well for you.
Best regards, Peter Duff.
so if i had a 40x56 press, i could use a 20x26 (or so) size screen on it without any problems? i have never screen printed before, but i do large format printing and sandblasting in house right how (as well as vinyl) and want to get into screen printing because there are TONS of real estate agents in my area and not a local graphics screen printer withing a 100 mile radius.
i also got a domain name for online sales, and am looking at another thats for sale, so i have a pretty good business plan, just need to put it into action, but im hung up on the right equipment and size to purchase. i know ill mostly (99%) of my work will be the standard 18"x24" but i do want to leave my options open to other stuff, like running 4 up etc.

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
Vallisneria americana grows in sandy to clay soils of estuarine habitats (Jarvis & Moore, 2008: 284).
In southern areas as in Kings Bay, FL, V.americana grows year round which contrasts to northern populations that pass the winter as belowground tubers (Hauxwell et al., 2007: 65). V. americana is better adapted to getting resources found in the soil than it is competing for sunlight. In oligotrophic(low nutrients) conditions, V.americana is a dominant species (Van et al., 1999: 231-232). Though V.americana is able to increase in size with added nutrients it does not grow as fast as the competitor Hydrilla verticillata (Van et al., 1999: 228-229).
Salinity has negative effects on the aquatic plant. In 2001, 590 Vallisneria americana plugs were taken out of the lower St. John's River in Jacksonville, Florida (Boustany et al., 2009: 205). The plugs were exposed to 1 ppt, 8 ppt, and 18 ppt salinity levels and their growth was recorded for 20 weeks. By the end of the study, aboveground biomass increased by 34% in the 1 ppt treatment and decreased by 16% in the 8 ppt treatment (Boustany et al. 2009: 207). In the middle of this study, biomass of the 1ppt treatments had gone from 324 gdw m2 to 379 gdw m2 (Boustany et al., 2009: 208). Biomass in the 8 ppt salinity had decreased from 191 gdw m2 to 164.5 gdw m2. The plants in the 18 ppt salinity levels died by the 13th week (Boustany et al., 2009: 207-208).
Germination of Vallisneria americana seeds collected from Nanjemoy Creek, MD was studied (Jarves & Moore 2008: 283). At 15 psu mean seed germination was 9% as compared to 76 and 63% at 0 and 5 psu, respectively (Jarvis & Moore, 2008: 290). Temperature also affected seed germination with 97% germination at 29 °C as compared to 75% at 22 °C (Jarvis & Moore, 2008: 290).
In the St. John's River, Florida, grazers such as sheepshead (Cyprinodon varegatus) shrimp (Palaemonetes spp.), snails (Neritina usnea), and manatees feed on the eel-grass. The aquatic plant also contributes to the detritivore web (Hauxwell et al., 2007: 66).

Is there a hashtag called "#OccupyOccupy" by now?
Only a "wisenheimer" like Stephen Colbert could come up with something like this, which was stolen from Father Z, but we know how much some of you prefer to see it here with the really KEWL kids. So sit back and occupy your computer or iPad or whatever "personal property, not private property" is at your disposal.

Get A Glimpse Inside Cameron Diaz's Luxurious NYC Apartment
Cameron Diaz shows off her swanky West Village apartment in the upcoming issue of ELLE DECOR. The actress describes the space as "a bit like living in a silk-lined jewelry box" and we couldn't agree more.
Everything about the prewar apartment screams luxury - from the drawers lined in raw black silk to the back sides of doors clad in hammered metal. Even Diaz's closets are covered in custom wallpaper or bright paint.
Designed by Kelly Wearstler, the neutral color palette "reflects Cameron herself—it's innately sexy without being overly flashy," Wearstler explained.
Wearstler said of Cameron's style: "Cameron has excellent taste and understands how colors work together and why quality pieces make rooms special."
"Cameron taught me to be more sensitive to the hand of fabrics and textiles," the designer added. "She was so involved in every step, every choice, that I'm delighted by how well the place represents her."
ELLE DECOR's October issue hits newsstands Tuesday, Sept. 10.

About once a week I see a new post about which cameras REALTORS should buy. Heck I have written them myself, check out Top 4 Cameras for REALTORS. But really, you don't need these cameras to get a great shot. The only camera you really need is your iPHONE. Camera technology has come a long way since the early days of digital camera. I had one for the first digital DSLR cameras the Cannon EOS D30. It was state-of-the-art at that time. But sadly for me, the iPHONE takes way better pictures than that can camera ever could.
Why the iPHONE
Because I have one, and that is what I know. But honestly, most camera phones would do just fine. I know you are saying to your self, "But Ed… I need all those mega pixels to get a good shot!". "NOT TRUE", I would say. The iPHONE has an 8 Megapixel camera. 8 Megapixel's is a resolution of 3264 x 2448. That is almost double the available pixels on your computer screen. So when your computer screen displays an 8 Megapixel image, it will have to combine two, three, or even four pixels from the image. Already we can see that the iPHONE has way more mega pixels than we need.(1)
Second the iPHONE has this handy grid. TURN YOUR GRID ON! It is so helpful when using the grid. It makes it really easy to level photos and it allows you to work on the "art" of photography.(2) Ok so my sample photo to the right is of the screen it's self and not the actually image so please don't comment on quality. But I wanted to show you how you can line up something like a doorway on one of the vertical grid lines and get a level photo. Also, it is more visually interesting because we broke the image into thirds.
Third, USE THE HDR. Most nice digital cameras have an internal HDR setting. This setting tells the camera to take two or more images and then combine them into one image. If done well, the image that is produced will be closer to what you actually see with the human eye. HDR balances out the shadows and highlights better than just taking one shot. This is really handy when it comes to real estate photography.
F-Stop yourself before you wreck yourself
Before you go by a fancy camera, or any camera for that matter, ask yourself one question. Do you know what an F-Stop is? If you don't know what an F-stop is, then you do not need to by a camera. The only reason to buy a new camera would be to improve upon the photos the iPHONE can take (which are really good). Don't believe me, check out these photos taken with an iPhone.
Even if you know what you are doing and want to take "full control" of the iPHONE, there are apps that let you control every part of the camera. Which really allow for some great shots. So maybe the answer to your camera needs is to learn to use the iPHONE, (I mean camera) you got. Just my two cents.
- But what if you want to print the photos. Good question, check out this chart on B&H. It shows you what megapixel you need to print what size. As you can see, unless you are printing larger than 16×20 you should be good.
- The rule of thirds says if you place something interesting at the intersection of your grid lines it will make a better photo.. check out Wikipedia's page on it.

Looking for a good pair of kids sandals.
Can anybody recommend some children's sandals (no flip-flops)? Here's the criteria I'm looking for: * Relatively inexpensive. * Good for walking (we don't have a car). * Can get wet without falling apart (we live near a lake). * Will securely hold to the child's foot (won't fall off easily like flip-flops).
What kind of small pet should we get?
We're looking for a good pet(s) for our family. Our 3 year old betta is about to die (it's just lying on the bottom of the bowl, not looking good at all). We're looking for a new pet to replace our betta. We live in a small apartment and my son and I are allergic to dogs and cats so those are out. We're looking for something that is kid friendly (in that they can participate in its care) and can live in a bowl/tank. [more inside]
Looking for things to do with 2-3 year olds in the Canton/Akron, Ohio area.

Lady Amalthea
From: The Last Unicorn
Worn at: AWA 2006
The Last Unicorn has always been one of my favorite movies, so I'm really happy that I finally got around to making this costume. I started on it for AWA in 2004, but time ran out and it got set aside in favor of more difficult costumes. When I did finally pull it out to finish it two years later, it came together quickly. I drafted it from a wedding bodice, extending it into a dress and adding ribbons for the stitching down the front and the pockets. I painted the star on my forehead with Ben Nye stage makeup, but it doesn't show up well. The wig I bought already had bangs but I should have added to them to make them fuller. It didn't help that the wind was blowing like mad the day of the photoshoot.

180,000 is the area of the field, not the total length of the fence.
A farmer plans to fence a rectangular pasture near a river. The pasture must have 180,000 m^2 in order to provide enough grass for the herd. What dimensions would require the least amount of fencing if no fencing is needed along the river.
My Work:
Along the river there is no measurement. Two sides are x and and the third side is (180,000-2x).
Area of rectangle is length times width.
A = x(180,000-2x)
A prime = 180,000-4x.
I then set A prime to 0 to find my critical point.
I found x to be 45,000 but this makes no sense. The correct answer is 600 meters by 300 meters. What am I doing wrong?

This report is the first in a series of publications that will summarize the proceedings of the three-year International Workshop on Good Local Government, sponsored by the Ford Foundation. When representatives from eight countries met in Austin, Texas, in July 1994, participants shared their experiences and perspectives on the issues involved in good local government and established some theoretical ground to form the basis for this first report. Drawing on case studies from each of the eight countries--Bangladesh, Brazil, India, Mexico, the Philippines, Poland, Senegal, and the United States--the workshop discussed how good local government practices should be defined and what characterizes exemplary practices. Discussion generated a broad range of diffusion strategies that could be applied to innovative practices in good local government. The first section of the report focuses on specific examples of innovative practices and the experiences of local governments in diverse national settings. The second section provides a summary of workshop discussions.

PETA Wants Pig-Truck Driver Charged
|elbragon/CC by 2.0
Being shipped over great distances to slaughter with no food or water is agonizing enough, but a reckless driver recently overturned a transport truck carrying 235 pigs, killing 74 of them outright and leaving seven others so severely mangled that police and workers killed them on-site to put them out of their misery. Many pigs suffered terrible injuries and trauma when they were thrown onto an expressway near Toronto. PETA has sent a letter asking Ontario authorities to further investigate and, if the evident warrants, charge the driver—who was allegedly speeding when he lost control of the truck—with cruelty to animals in addition to reckless driving, the existing charge. The pork industry's careless drivers must be held accountable for the suffering and horrific deaths that they cause. Please read about our earlier cases with Smithfield Foods truck accidents.
In the meantime, you can help save other pigs from a horrible fate by urging everyone you know not to eat these sensitive, intelligent animals.

You know, the more I thought about this last night the more I leaned towards agreeing with Tom and now Laurapo too. I thought to myself; why am I so angry at him for speeding when I speed on occasion as well… It was because the thought of those poor pigs being killed and suffering while he smoked on the curb side…but then I thought: what was he supposed to do? Walk amongst them and kill them with his hands to put them out of their misery/pain? Also, as Laurapo mentioned, we're talking about Toronto driving… and EVERYONE speeds there… if you don't, you're tail gated and sworn at and people drive aggressively and angrily around you… which is no safer for the poor creatures in the back of the truck.
I agree with Tom. I can see maybe a wreckless driving charge, but as someone who lives in Toronto, that ramp SUCKS. Especially at heavy traffic times like early in the morning. I dont think he was driving wreckless, I just think it was circumstance.
this is insane, this is barbaric and cruel. this kind of abuse, cruelty and neglect must stop. for the animals – go vegan.
@ Tom: The issues for me are as follows:
– he was responsible for the transportation of several living beings;
– he was on the clock with his employer and broke the law;
– he sat and had a smoke instead of trying to help the animals in distress.
Yes I've sped in my lifetime… but I don't see the relevance between that and this story due to the aformentioned reasons.
The driver should be fired and be charged in court for cruelty to animals
It was an accident. He didn't try to hurt the pigs. I'm willing to bet that everyone on this thread with a driver's license, has gone over the speed limit at least once and but for the grace of God didn't get a ticket or have an accident. It's a bit hypocritical to ask for a pound of flesh from this guy just he had a wreck in a pig truck.
This is terrible and I hope the person responsible is charged to the fullest capacity. This is sad and it breaks my heart. To those who point the finger at Canada as a whole for an incident such as this… I've been reading this website for some time now… I don't see ANY anti-USA comments or crusades/campaigns when american slaughter houses are brought down or when animals are freed from animal testing in american labs… Why is it when Canada has one idiot it's a reflection on the whole country? Is it a double standard? Or just plain illogical?
This driver MUST be charged with animal cruelty, he sat on the roadside smoking a cigarette while these poor animals were suffering, shows how callous and coldhearted a person he is and no regard whatsoever.
all cruelty to animals has to stop! also in this case PETA does the right thing!!!
I am heartsick! These beautiful intelligent animals are subject to this cruelty. If there is a god, please help them!
No more cruelty! WWJD!
Canada…still? Listen, the documentary "A Cow At My Table" which was about YOUR treatment of animals in YOUR meat processing industry, came out many years ago and was a real source of embarrasment for you…so much so that when the producer/director was arrested for tresspassing on the grounds of a slaughterhouse to photograph the body of a murdered cow left lying outside, the Crown dropped the charges. They did not want the negative publicity that bringing Jennifer Abbot to trial would cause. Perhaps another updated documentary needs to be filmed because I don't think you have learned anything.
