The coil will always need a sw'd wire... are u using the stock dizzy that has the points in it ???? do u have a volt mtr to ck for voltage from the sw to the ballast resis, out of ballast to +side of coil the -side of coil to points...
oh boy
yeah I have a volt meter, so I can hook it up the + to any 12v switch? As for the coil the - wire is going into distributor somewhere. and as far as I know he's using the stock distributor

You actually will need two wires to do this properly one supplying the "hot" side of the coil will be full voltage in "START" only and electrically "cold" when the starter is released, that is it will have full power on it ONLY while the engine is cranking. This wire is usually taken from the starter solenoid so it will be "hot" only during cranking and can be run directly to the coil. You will then have another wire from the ignition switch that will have a resistor to cut the voltage to about 8 or 9 volts by using either a ballast resistor or a resistor wire, this wire will be hot anytime the switch is in the "run" position. The coil should not see a full 12 volts while the engine is running if a standard coil is used. Standard factory type 12V coils are actually designed to operate on about 8V and that is why the resistor is REQUIRED, this is done to compensate for the system voltage drop caused by the starter load during cranking which will drop the entire system voltage down to about 8V. By using the resistor circuit bypass wire from the solenoid full voltage will be applied to the coil during cranking, this voltage will be about 8V or so due to the starter load dragging down the system voltage. When the starter load is released the voltage will rise back up to the system full voltage of 12V+ and this will then be reduced to the same level as it was during cranking by using the ballast resistor. This circuit is necessary to prevent either over powering the coil during "run" or under powering it during "start", if a coil requiring 12V was used then it would have a weak spark during cranking due to the starter load voltage drop. OTH if an 8V coil was used to provide a hot spark during "start" then it would be over powered when the switch was released from "start" and the system voltage would again rise to a full 12V+. This is going to be required by both a points type system and most solid state factory type ignitions (except GM HEI systems). The resistor circuit is required for most factory type coils due to this voltage drop from the starter load and it has nothing to do with whether points are used or not but if an after market system is used then of course you want to follow the manufacturers instructions for wiring. |
so I can run a wire from the starter to the coil, and another to the run position wire (hot/on/run) with a resistor. I have some 560 ohm ballast resistors are those good enough to reduce the voltage? I guess I'd have to check with my voltmeter.
also what about the alternator? Is there a ground that goes to the alternator (back) right now theres only one wire going to the starter solenoid for charge. |
Not sure what kind of resistor you are talking about but DON'T GUESS about this, go the parts store and get a standard ceramic ballast resistor designed for ignition systems, they are quite cheap and easy to find. I think the last one I bought was less than $4. |
560 ohms ???
wow thats alot... don't know if your measuring just the resist or what.. but it will be in the 1 1/2- 5 ohms area if the olde brain serves me right.. u use the open small lug on the st sol for the 12v to coil starting. but if your engine starts very easy u don't need it... i don't use one cause i just look at my motor and it'll start up...
That can create major problems on a cold day especially if the battery is weak, or ANY time the battery is low for that matter! I agree that most of the time if everything is "up-to-snuff" and the battery is fully charged then it is not likely to be a problem but omitting that circuit is just asking for trouble! |
Looks like there were originally three wires coming off the ignition coil positive post: Power from the ignition switch, power to the horn relay coil, and power to the turn signal flasher. It's an unusual way to power the flashers and horn, but the factories did a lot of experimentation back then. Also there could be an additional wire on the coil negative terminal if the car has overdrive or the electric semi-automatic transmission that some of these old Mopars had back then. Hope this helps..... Joe G. |
That wire coming from the positive on the coil and going to the horn relay and flasher is a good example of how modifying one thing (in this case changing from 6V to 12 V) usually leads to changing something else. Because the new ignition circuit will require the power going to the coil to use reduced voltage during run these two items (horn relay and flasher) will need that wire removed from the coil (if it is indeed still there) and powered from another 12V circuit. OPf course these items have most likely been changed anyway along with lights etc, or should be, due to the voltage change.
I am an electrical moron so I can't help with your questions but I can say to sign up over at the P15-D24 Site . There is a ton of knowledge on the old Mopars on the site and the guys are always willing to help.

dc.description.abstract | The objective of this paper is to answer the question, "Has the military housing privatization process produced design innovation?" Secondary questions are, "What specific role has the Army's Residential Communities Initiative played in fostering innovation? What are the key process drivers? What (if any) specific building product innovations have arisen from an architectural, sustainability, construction technology and community planning perspective over the last 10-15 years?" Particular emphasis is paid to design measures employed by the development partners to ensure client satisfaction, maintain the competitiveness of their product on the open market and preserve long term partnerships with the U.S. Government. Consideration is given to the ways in which the Army has streamlined the privatization solicitation process to foster private sector innovation and what impacts these efforts have had on both design drivers and customer satisfaction levels. Specific examples of planning, design and construction innovation are explored through case studies. The author concludes that privatization has produced significant innovation and high customer satisfaction in the military housing market. However, there is still room for further program innovation in light of parallel trends in university student housing privatization, public housing privatization and the private market. Research methodology included relevant literature review and direct, focused interviews with key industry players from the U.S. Government, design and development arenas. These approaches were augmented with select, relevant case study analyses and supporting site visits.. | en_US |

Brief Title ICMJE | Treatment of Heroin and Cocaine With Methadone Maintenance and Contingency Management | |||
Official Title ICMJE | Treatment of Heroin and Cocaine With Methadone Maintenance and Contingency Management | |||
Brief Summary | Background: - The treatment of addiction often hinges on preventing relapse into drug-using behaviors, which occurs at high rates even after prolonged abstinence. Some methadone patients continue to abuse cocaine and heroin during treatment, even with extensive psychosocial services. More research is needed to look at the results from earlier studies of continued drug use during methadone treatment, focusing on the results of fixed vs. flexible doses of methadone to reduce the likelihood of continued drug use and the role of monetary vouchers as an incentive to continue abstinence from illicit substances. Objectives: - To determine if the combination of flexible methadone dosing and voucher-based contingency management can improve rates of abstinence from heroin and cocaine. Eligibility: - Individuals between 18 and 65 years of age or older who are dependent on opioids (cocaine and/or heroin). Design:
Detailed Description | Scientific goals. The primary goal is to determine if simultaneous abstinence from heroin and cocaine can be elicited by combining two approaches: flexible methadone dosing and voucher-based CM. Secondary goals include: 1) comparing saliva and plasma levels of methadone, cortisol, and prolactin as predictors of treatment outcome; and 2) evaluating the impact of methadone maintenance on renal function, lipid profile, and cardiac function. Methods. During an initial 6-week baseline phase, cocaine-abusing opioid-dependent outpatient participants (300 enrolled; 180 evaluable) will be stabilized on methadone 70 mg/day. At the end of baseline, participants who continue to use heroin and cocaine will be randomized to one of two dosing regimens and one of two CM conditions. In the flexible-dose regimen, participants will receive individualized dose increases (15 mg/day) to a maximum of 190 mg /day, based on heroin use and withdrawal. In the fixed-dose regimen, participants methadone dose will be increased to 100 mg/day and remain fixed there. Dose-group assignment will be double-blind: investigators will determine participants individualized dose increases, but only the pharmacists will know which participants actually receive them. The two CM conditions will be: vouchers contingent on cocaine-negative urine specimens, or noncontingent vouchers (i.e., vouchers independent of urine cocaine screen results). The main outcome measure will be the percentage of urines simultaneously negative for both cocaine and illicit opiates during treatment. For the concurrently run pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic portion, saliva and blood samples will be taken at regular intervals to determine levels of methadone, cortisol, and prolactin as predictors of treatment outcome. For the concurrently run medical-outcomes portion, urine (renal function), blood (lipid profile), and ECGs (cardiac function),will be obtained at set intervals. Hypothesis. Flexible methadone dosing and voucher-based CM will be safe and result in greater simultaneous abstinence from heroin and cocaine, higher treatment retention, and higher health-related QOL when compared to fixed methadone dosing and the absence of CM. Benefits. Participants will receive methadone, counseling, and some medical care at no charge. The methadone and voucher interventions are likely to reduce participants' use of heroin and cocaine. Counseling will include management of HIV risk behaviors. The study incorporates participant safety monitoring and will provide information relevant to improving the health and safety of community methadone-maintenance patients. The pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic part of the study does not benefit participants directly, but may lead to the development of more useful and less invasive drug-monitoring methods. Risks. Participants may experience side effects from methadone, discomfort during methadone withdrawal, and discomfort (or, rarely syncope) from blood draws. |

Condé Nast is not convinced that movies rock as much as fashion. The company, which first jumped into thematic concerts in 2004 with the first "Fashion Rocks," has taken its fledgling Hollywood counterpart, "Movies Rock," off of the 2008 schedule.
"Movies Rock," like "Fashion Rocks," attempted to tie an ad-heavy supplemental magazine (distributed to the subscribers of 14 Condé Nast titles) to televised performances and several private parties. Last year's inaugural event brought the likes of Beyoncé and Carrie Underwood to the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles for a concert of celebrated movie tunes—broadcast a week later on CBS. And though Condé Nast Media Group president Richard Beckman insists it was never intended to be an annual event (despite being included in the 2008 budget), he told The New York Post that it's not officially canceled, merely postponed.
No official plans for when "Movies Rock" might be rescheduled have been announced.

Sometimes the subject of death, in the hands of a capable writer can be very funny. This story isn't one of those times. Sorry.
Try Earl Gray's satire on Kennedys death "New Kennedy Conspiracy Theory Gains Momentum" which is both a funny and intelligent poke at Ted Kennedy's death. Speaking of dying, when I die I want to go out peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather….. not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car! |

Skoob, thanks for the welcome and the rating. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I've never been to England, but my daughter returned from London recently. She said she saw the following sign in an office building: After tea break, staff should empty the teapot and stand upside down on the draining board. Why do Brits do this? |

"A book does not make bad jokes, drink too much or eat more than you can afford to pay for."
Kenneth Turan
"With no plot, character or dialogue worth experiencing, let alone remembering, the film merely occupies space on the screen and hopes for the best,"
"It sounds like parody,"
"There is stuff at which your jaw just drops, and yet they were hugely popular, ... It's an interesting corner of film history."
"It's great to see talented people have success,"
"It's not just that we see bad films, but bad films of a type we've seen so many times before,"
"It's not a new thing, ... One of the biggest successes ever in film, 'Gone With the Wind,' came from a very big best-selling book."
"People who make films are always looking for a hook. They're always looking for something that will attract an audience's attention, that will make a person say, 'I want to see that film,' and a book is a proven commodity."
"It's a tradition to save the good films for the fall and the holiday season, ... Never Coming To A Theater Near You."
"This year, I think the studios have outdone themselves. They've really packaged a lot of good stuff at the end of the year."

President Barack Obama has ordered his Cabinet members to hit the re-elect Obama campaign trail and go fundraising. He's using taxpayer-funded trips to meld policy and politics, which some critics call unethical.

I was thinking of throwing a tennis tournament for a festival in my town that we have every year...already the town has softball/volleyball tournaments the same weekend. I'm not worried about getting the people to enter its just the insurance and everything. I'm hoping this shouldnt cost more than 400 dollars to run and insure this tournament. Anybody have experience with running a tournament? thanks
Actually yeah, I ran two tournaments last year and am running at least 5 this summer. If you are good at multitasking and familiar with how running tennis tournaments works, it's actually a fun challenge to run one and not too difficult. If you get someone to help you out with the tournament desk you can play for free too while hopefully making a little bit of a profit. I would strongly recommend you make a list of all your projected costs, and divide them up based on flat costs and per person costs. Insurance and court rental are your flat costs. Balls and prizes are your per person costs. Slightly overestimate your costs to be safe. Then figure out your break even point: 1. Take the per person entry fee. 2. Subtract from this the per person costs. This gives net profit per person. 3. Now using that number figure how many entries you need to match the flat costs. Now anything after that point will be profit! I like to shoot for somewhere between 30-50 in my section for a break even point. If I get a lot of players to enter I can give more features like a player party, prize drawing, etc. Big Tip: Look for sponsors, whether it be money or prizes this will be a huge help and well worth it. Honestly the insurance is the biggest headache of all. I can refer you to the company I am using which is the best policy I have found so far. They charge you based on a head count of participants. You pay an estimate. If you have fewer players than estimated you get some money back (which saves you money), and if you have more than estimated you have to pay them some more money (but it means you made more yourself). It a win-win! Our policy is about $650 for a 4-month period based on 150 (or maybe 200) unique participants.
thank you for the input... I just talked to the main guy for the city today and he told me they would NOT charge me to run and insure this tournament. that is a BIG weight lifted off my shoulders... now I just need to promote and get people signed up
Yeap...make sure you schedule them 3 hours apart if you don't want matches running into each other and people getting pissed off and waiting. I'm trying to convince my folks into doing the same thing. We have a 3 day tourney that is going to have about 160 people in it. I say play singles first and then either mixed followed by doubles...but all 3 hours apart if you can.
I've been thinking of requiring everyone at some point to supply one can of balls. That will cut down on a big cost. Let the winner take the unopen can. It's only about 2 bucks more and it saves the tournament a truck load of money. Can you see any draw back to this?
Tournament players like to know what kind of balls being used so they can practice with them ahead of time. If the match goes to three sets, new balls should be supplied after the second set. Somebody might show-up with some really funky ball like they sell at Walgreens or a dead can. I've never played in a tournament where I had to bring my own balls. Your should have singles sticks for the singles.
whats this mean? now im just debating whether if i should just do opens for singles/dubs open and have a open for the singles/dubs for 40 and over?
Singles Sticks Singles sticks are used to raise the nets to regulation hight for singles on a court striped for doubles. If your facility doesn't have them maybe you could borrow them. They are made of wood or metal. http://users.owt.com/ivar/SinglesSticks.htm
i've seen those before...I need some of those because some of the nets sag because soccer players sit on the nets all the time. I have a meeting with the guy from the city in 2 weeks in front of the committee/
Most local non-USTA tournaments around here have you provide your own tennis balls & then the winner (if he didn't open) gets a can from the loser. It's definately a way to keep costs down. I've never had a problem as a player in these tournaments with people bringing 'junky' balls.
If this is going to be a "fun" tournament for beginners and anybody under the sun, don't worry about all the details too much. You may be getting people in cut-offs and Converse All-Stars. Tournament players would probably pass on it wanting to save their energy for ranking points. But you never know, they might show up for some hit and giggle or local bragging rights. Good luck with it and keep us informed how it goes.
You should decide how high of quality you want you tournament to be. As others have said, for affordable non-USTA tournaments make the event nice and laid back and have people bring their own can of balls. You don't really have to worry about singles sticks either. For USTA tournaments, if you are charging enough then you should be providing most everything. High quality balls (championship quality, good endurance), water, singles sticks if you can, other nice things like Gatorade, fruit, etc. Basically, the more you charge the more you should be providing so people want to do it again next year. Either way, you should definitely use TDM to help with your scheduling. You can input all the players manually and have it create draws and schedule automatically for you. If your event is on TennisLink it will download all the players for you (except for those who register by mail). Although to do that you have to get "Tournament Director" status from your section. TDM has an option for scheduling called the Garman system which helps avoid having as many open courts (but leads to a little more waiting sometimes), it also allows you to choose what you think the average match time for each event will be. Since I usually have open courts when I run my events I just let the average be 2 hours and go with block scheduling and people like it because they never have to wait for a court to open. But if you have big draws and not many courts you will need to squeeze them in as best you can. Back to the insurance, that's great the facility isn't requiring that from you. Oftentimes the facility will hold you liable for some certain amount for damage to the property even though they don't require proof of insurance, so you should check that out. I would suggest you at least look into a few insurance quotes even if you decide not to get any. While the facility may not hold you responsible for damages, a player who gets hurt during the tournament could try to get some money from you. It's very rare, but still...you can always limit your risk by making a waiver and having all the players sign it before their first match. Once you get past all the headaches of organization I'd be happy to help you work out the scheduling.

Having spent more time than I care to remember in sterile, uninviting hotel rooms, I was initially attracted to vacation rentals as refreshing, and often more affordable, alternatives. What I found were the same white walls and beige furniture or, even worse, cluttered rooms and Aunt Edna's donated dilapidated couch in the living room. Well, welcome to something different. Take a break from your busy schedule by relaxing in clean, inviting rental that that feels enough like home that you're immediately comfortable while being so special you'll look forward to your return. Many of my guests have been back 2 or 3 times, and some have found themselves venturing across the country to check out another Red Hot Vacation Rental. My places are located in Chicago, Miami Beach and San Francisco. I've lived in all 3 cities and am happy to suggest hidden local gems or recommend the best nearby dry cleaner.

The 35-year-old former world number one appeared in a 15-second commercial for a Japanese heat-rub which debuted on Japanese television on Friday.
A spokesman for Kowa Co. which makes the Vantelin Kowa rub, Katsuhiro Kaji, said the firm made the offer to Woods late last year. He refused to reveal details of the deal.
"We don't think there is any," he told AFP when asked if there was any risk in using the disgraced superstar, who is currently sidelined by injury.
It is Woods' second endorsement contract with a Japanese firm. He signed a three-year deal with Asahi Soft Drinks in 1997 at an estimated 900 million yen (now 11 million) to promote a canned coffee brand.
After the scandal surfaced, Woods has been divorced from his wife and lost many of his sponsorship and endorsement deals.
The Japan unit of IMG, the agency which helped Woods become the world''s first billion-dollar athlete in terms of endorsements, said it was his first new commercial contract since the scandal.
Woods, currently ranked 17th in the world, injured his left knee and Achilles tendon in the third round of the Masters in April, played only nine holes at May's Players Championship and has only hit golf balls with a putter since then.

Wooden roll-top desks are clever classics that depend on segmented wood slats to close and open without sacrificing classy curves. Though it owes a lot to this now-traditional (if not downright antique) desk design idea, this extendable bench-or-table piece (suited to suit on and with space to set things in between you and another person) is definitely contemporary in every other way.
A secret seam in the center of the horizontal metal supports conceals a hidden set of wood beams, revealed fully only when the furniture is expanded. The slats slide up the side and become the surface for additional bench-style seating or coffee-table space. Treated wood, aluminum and plastic make it a flexible, elegant and minimalist candidate for entry halls, porches, decks and gardens alike.
What sets this idea and execution by Stefan Weiser apart in the world of convertible couches, transforming tables and other multi-functional furniture designs is that it looks good and works at any point of the process – you could slide it to the shortest configuration or pull it out to full length and it would still be an attractive and useful object, indoors or outside.
Whether they work well with the other piece would be a worthy question, but these other designs by Stefan warrant a look as well either way: wooden chairs featuring a combination of functions on the same basic frame, including a lamp, clothes hanger, drying rack and cute little ladder for children.

2013 Viewpoint: Diablo's Safety is Key Concern
Diablo's safety is key concern
Published in The Tribune: July 31, 2013
PG&E uses half-truths, distortions, and irrelevant information in its attempt to justify license renewal for the two nuclear reactors at Diablo Canyon. ("Diablo nuclear plant fuels local economy," July 14).
The argument presented by PG&E is that Diablo should be relicensed because of jobs created and taxes paid. But economic factors are not relevant to license renewal. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requires that plant operators show that the plant meets regulatory safety requirements, not that it creates jobs.
But if economics is the topic PG&E wants to discuss, the hidden costs of nuclear power must be included.
In the event of a serious accident at the plant, the taxpayers have the bulk of financial responsibility under the Price-Anderson Act. It caps the liability of nuclear operators, leaving taxpayers on the hook for most of the damages.
Ratepayers and taxpayers are also responsible for the costs of storing and guarding the radioactive wastes produced at all commercial reactors. More than 6 million pounds of radioactive wastes are currently stored at Diablo, with 500 pounds being added each day. The high level wastes will be lethal for a quarter of a million years — in effect forever.
While the nuclear reactors are not "good neighbors," Mothers for Peace fully recognizes that the people who work at the plant are conscientious. But their best efforts cannot compensate for the fundamental problems. Diablo was designed in the 1960s, and is in fact an aging nuclear plant. It is also a radioactive waste storage dump surrounded by 13 earthquake faults, some of them classified as "major" and "active" by the United States Geological Survey.
PG&E tax monies that help support schools must be weighed against the health risks to children who live in the shadow of this nuclear plant. Even under normal operating conditions, nuclear plants emit some radioactive materials. In the event of a significant accident, no amount of tax dollars could rectify the health consequences for these students. Witness Fukushima.
The claim that Diablo produces "clean" energy is a myth. The nuclear fuel cycle releases much carbon dioxide during mining, fuel enrichment and plant construction. Uranium mining is one of the most carbon dioxide intensive industrial operations. And certainly radioactive wastes can not be described as "clean"!
The statement that "Nuclear energy makes up more than 20 percent of the electricity we provide to our customers" needs clarification. In 2011, before San Onofre shut down for good, the California Energy Commission predicted that by 2017 nuclear would produce 15.1 percent of the electricity produced in the state. Now that Diablo is the only operating nuclear plant, we can assume that approximately 8 percent of the electricity produced in California will be from Diablo. Furthermore, the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) states that "Diablo Canyon going offline would not significantly impact the amount of energy on the grid."
Mothers for Peace proposes that PG&E increase the portion of its ample resources invested in sustainable sources of energy. According to the Political Economy Research Institute of the University of Massachusetts, for every four jobs provided by nuclear plants, solar and wind projects provide 13 jobs. Retrofitting buildings to conserve energy usage provides 17 jobs compared to the four for nuclear.
We don't need the energy from Diablo Canyon, and we certainly do not need the risks. Shut it down, PG&E, and invest in renewable energy. That would make PG&E a truly good neighbor.
Jane Swanson is spokesperson for San Luis Obispo Mothers for Peace.

OMG...can Simon get any more disgusting? Wearing a dress now!!! Sheeshhh!!!
That's very true...my sisters and I came from a very, very abusive home, my mom and all of us got it, yet my middle sister married an abuser. She's had lots of opportunities to get out of the marriage, yet she stays there. In the beginning there was some physical abuse, actually on both their parts, but throughout all 24 years of marriage there has ALWAYS been the verbal abuse. From my own personal childhood experiences I can tell you that the verbal abuse is 100 times worse than the physical and it sticks with you a heck of alot longer, well after the abuser is out of your life.
I suppose my cynical side is showing. But after years of watching these women become besotted by the God Of Fame I can surely see any housewife planning exactly how their next season is going to go. I really think that Tamra and Vicky, seeing cracks in their marriages decided that it would make for good TV to get a divorce instead of going the boring old therapy route. I mean how many botox/spas/birthdays/vacations can we watch?
I very much believe in rescuing animals, not buying them.

People need to be very careful about implying that someone was physically abusive to them. So if Jill and Ramona are saying this and it's not true, I would take legal action against them immediately to stop it.
I don't know if it's true. Most men will not abuse a spouse in front of others, it's usually behind closed doors. You never can tell who they are. I was involved with 2 men years apart, who were verbally abusive and some physcial; rage-aholics, I call them. They were so charming, nice, kind, and well respected in the community, but behind closed doors and around a select number of friends, they would rage like a lunatic. Thank God I got away unharmed. It did teach me to not base whether someone is abusive on how they act in general.
I do agree that Bobby seems as mild mannered as a cup cake, but you never know. That's why if I were Bobby, I would get the truth out to protect my name.
I agree. You can never go by how someone "seems" or how they "look". That's why I never get all pumped up over how somebody looks.....cute/good-looking/hot......good looks can hide crazy and dangerous ALL DAY LONG.
"...each affects the other, and the other affects the next, and the world is full of stories, but the stories are all one." - Mitch Albom, one helluva writer.
When you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, you know which one you hit by the one that yelps!
I'm genuinely confused here. I thought the accusation was Mario shoved Jill at some event. Why would Bobby have to protect his name? Was there some other accusation I missed??
I'm with you on this! I will admit I've seen very little of this season. So who was abused & who is getting divorced & why are Bobby's panties in a bunch???
Holly...you are correct...verbal abuse is just as if not more harmful that physical abuse. I still bear those emotional scars from my EX. He constantly called me fat, Porky Pig...you get the idea. Thing is the most I ever weighed is 115 and that was 9 months pregnant. I still hear the "oinking" sound everything I eat.
Some people dream of having a big swimming pool - with me it's closets."
-Audrey Hepburn.
Maybe so. Perhaps I misunderstood. I thought it was against Bobby. If so, nevermind. But, whoever it was said about should get it straight. That is a horrible thing to do and to be accused of, if it's not true.
Oh, what's Ramona thinking about with that Sweet 16 Party? Don't people realize they are not young anymore and kids don't want you acting like one of them. LEt the girl have her party, you chaperone and do your own party another night. PLEASE.........
Last night I watched and came to the realization that I really don't like any of them. Alex is the least objectionable to me.
As to the idea that Mario is or isn't abusive and whether or not Ramona would stay in an abusive relationship, I do not know. However, I can't imagine that with the cameras around all the time for weeks, we wouldn't have seen evidence of abuse.

Special Retro '71 Concept
I was going to wait for another four weeks to post a new shirt concept but I had to get this out there because it's been on my mind for the last few days.
When Disney announced the "Glow with the Show" merchandise I was rather upset by the news, but this soon dissolved into shear happiness. Why was I upset? You see, when I'm not looking for fonts, designing shirts or collecting retro theme park merchandise, I'm sketching away ideas in a little journal...a kind of blue sky journal. One of my ideas was to incorporate sound-activated LEDs in the balloons sold nightly throughout the parks. Those balloons would then be synchronized to the nightly entertainment extravaganzas. I shared this idea with one of my fellow Disney dreamer friends and we thought of a new show to incorporate the technology. When I saw the official "Glow with the Show" Mickey ears, I was blown away! Mickey ears make much more sense. Not only are they a MUST for most Disney theme parkers, but they also have a higher price point and make better keepsakes than a simple balloon. After watching the YouTube videos of the new technology synched along with the World of Color, I was simply blown away. Talk about interactivity with guests!
Now if I know Disney—and I do—I know those mad men of merchandising are dreaming and scheming other ways to use this concept with other theme park merchandise. It's pretty much a no-brainer to say that t-shirts MUST be on their product line lists! LED light-up shirts have been around for ages—I remember going to one of my first parties (read: a rave) back in 1998. One of the DJs was sporting one and all the little kandy kids were flipping out over it. Over time, they became more and more available to mainstream audiences and the price point has since lowered. In fact, the company I work for is working on some LED shirts right now for a big event next week. However, the one thing these shirts appear to lack is that they aren't really programmed to music...not like Disney can do!
When turning this idea around in my head, I imagined Epcot seemed the most likely place where Disney World theme park merchandise would debut this new offering. That's when it hit me: a Designerland reader shared with me an old logo from Illuminations under the notion that I should recreate the design. I thought to combine the new "Glow with the Show" technology along with this old logo. Now if only they would show the original IllumiNations for the 30th anniversary and sell a shirt like this, I would be in Disney Dork heaven.
9 comments:
Love this idea! I've shared a few ideas with a certain big company over the years that they've implemented without including me, and it does sting a little bit. I love your designs, and I'd definitely buy a shirt like this!
ReplyDeleteLove this so much. Thinking about wearing something like this at Epcot's 30th makes me so happy. Like, ridiculously excited and happy. You're a genius!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely, hands down love this shirt and would wear it to work every day if I could. It's fabulous!

A Dialogue with David Austin - Monday, Nov. 18, 6:30 PM
For photos from this event, go to our flickr page!
For a brief moment, Montreal became an unlikely center of Black Power and the Caribbean left. In October 1968 the Congress of Black Writers at McGill University brought together well-known Black thinkers and activists from Canada, the United States, Africa, and the Caribbean—notably C.L.R. James, Stokely Carmichael, Miriam Makeba, Rocky Jones, and Walter Rodney. Within months of the Congress, a Black-led protest at Sir George Williams University (now Concordia) exploded on the front pages of newspapers across the country—raising state security fears about Montreal as the new hotbed of international Black radical politics.
David Austin's groundbreaking study "Fear of a Black Nation: Race, Sex, and Security in Sixties' Montreal" fills in a missing chapter in the history of Black internationalism, while bringing to the fore the intersection of immigration, policing and education in the fight for equality.
Join us as we welcome Austin as well as respondents Rich Blint and Robyn Spencer for an exciting evening of dialogue.
David Austin is editor of You Don't Play with Revolution: The Montreal Lectures of C.L.R. James. He teaches in the Humanities, Philosophy, and Religion Department at John Abbott College, Montreal.
Rich Blint, scholar and independent curator, is Associate Director of the Office of Community Outreach and Education in the School of the Arts at Columbia University, where he also serves as Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Institute for Research in African American Studies.
Robyn Spencer is Professor of History and African American Studies and has written extensively on Black internationalism and the Black Panther Party.
Monday, November 18, 2013 6:30 PM
RLS–NYC, 275 Madison Ave, Suite 2114
New York, 10016, NY
Copies of Fear of A Black Nation will be available for sale.
This event is free and open to the public.

The Global Congress will build on the success of the previous 8 Teenage Cancer Trust International Conferences and the strong international relationships that have developed through worldwide advances in AYA cancer treatment and services.
The development - to create the first truly global event in AYA cancer - is in recognition that awareness and concern regarding the problem and the uniqueness of cancer in adolescents and young adults is becoming more and more universal.
The first of this series will be hosted by Teenage Cancer Trust on behalf of the new Global Accord which has been set up as a collaboration between three charitable organisations - Teenage Cancer Trust, Teen Cancer America and CanTeen Australia - for the purpose of creating a truly global approach to this conference series. Each year the Congress will rotate geographically, starting with the UK in December 2016.
Please get in touch if you have any queries
We have been busy making excellent preparations for a top quality educational and networking forum. Our programme is truly international – with experts from all corners of the globe coming to share their expertise and knowledge with us. Our speakers have been nominated by our International Advisors, so we know that we can look forward to stimulating presentations. There will also be the opportunity for delegates to present their work by way of the Call for Abstracts. We can also look forward to enjoying the colours, sounds and flavours of Scottish hospitality by way of our social programme. You will find more information about all these aspects in this Announcement.
Our aim is that all participants leave this important Congress having learnt from our experts and each other, with renewed energy and motivation so that they return to their workplaces to drive forward quality improvements in practice and care of young people with cancer.
Working together - achieving more.
Do come and join us for this landmark event.

So I caved a while back and bought some of that handspun angora that Malabrigo puts out. You don't get much yardage for the money, but it is just so damn pretty.
And, having lost my favorite pair of rabbit fur (vintage, ok??) earmuffs.... I made these.
I thought that I had a brilliant plan that would negate the need for a chin tie, but unfortunately they just do not sit tight enough without one. I can't tell if they're cute or intensely stupid looking.
Anyway...if it seems like there is an interest I'll write up the pattern. Otherwise, you can just laugh at me :-)
Meanwhile, I've resolved to do more spinning. I've been neglecting it because knitting is much easier to pick up for a few minutes here and there, but I miss it.
So here is some baby camel. A tricky fleece, but so worth it, and I don't particularly mind the unevenness. I didn't have very much though, so I don't know what I'll do with it, besides replace a camel bracelet/cuff thing that I lost a year or so ago.
More to come, I hope.
