All stock 1989 c-4 1999 LS-1 3rd gen 5.0 Any one have any experience with those GM products Will the 5.0 be able to keep up. or will i have to upgrade and mod. CONSRUCTIVE comments thanx
5.0 wont keep up, maximum motorsports or griggs can change that though. My guess is that the ls1 would be the best handling. They came from the factory with a torque arm and panhard bar I believe. Others will give you a more definite answer.
What do you mean by "3rd gen", 3rd gen what?? Also, ls-1 what? Camaro/Firebird? Vette? Either way, the fox can't hold a candle in the curvies to any modern GM product. The f-body suspension is just incredible. You can carve corners with the best of them, then put on a set of 17" drag radials and cut a 1.6 60ft with bone stock suspension. I hate to be praising GM on here, but I wish I could say the same about foxes. Or any Mustang for that matter.
well buy a fox for 4k then maximum grip package for another 4k and there you go. Still cheaper than the other cars lol
But it will run even worse 60fts than it did stock. The cool thing is being able to do both. Say you did get the fox to keep up around the corner, it'd be all over at the first straightaway. Damn, there I go sticking up for F-bodys again.

"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals" – "K," Men In Black
If I'm smart, and you're like me, you're smart. We're both smart, and other people like us must also be smart. In fact, we're smarter than the self-anointed media gatekeepers that trumpet inanity while burying important news in the interest of ratings. What we need is to be the new gatekeepers, together. Working together, the smartest people will be highlighting the news, rather than the dumbest.
Or so the theory goes. In reality, I'm smart and you're smart, but some of you like pictures of tattoos and second-rate web comics and third-rate political candidates. Worse, some of you are conspiracy theorists, celebrity gossip hounds, or Mac users. Worst of all, some of you just don't vote like you should. This site sure isn't as good as it used to be, before all the newbies showed up.
There are problems with the current wave of user-driven sites, like Reddit, Digg, and Netscape, but are the problems inherent to the model, or can software tweaks fix them? Are there even really problems?
The Wisdom of Crowds
19th century scientist Francis Galton observed that a collection of individuals, acting independently, managed to achieve what even experts could not: averaged together, their answers were right, though no individual managed to get as close as the average did. In his case, the exercise was estimating the weight of a slaughtered ox, but in James Surowiecki's 2004 book The Wisdom of Crowds, he suggested that the same principle holds true in many cases. And it might, but achieving a technical result (the weight of the ox) is a different type of exercise than rating quality.
While weight-guessing carries no obvious penalty or reward for guessing too high or too low, humans rate the quality of things based on non-obvious factors, resulting in surprising patterns. Does a horseshoe curve mean that a book is worth reading, or not? With the same number of one-star ratings and five-star ratings, can we determine that it's a three-star book? Or, if we plot the rating over time, it could be that one-star ratings represent an attempt by the rater to lower the visible aggregate rating, and five-star ratings an attempt by the rater to raise the visible aggregate rating. Having that aggregate rating visible to all makes sense from an online bookseller's perspective, but it undermines one of the fundamental elements of Galton's observation. The individuals in this case are not acting independently.
On Reddit, up-votes and down-votes seem to carry equal weight, and no reason need be given for either. On Digg, the value of individual actions is closely guarded by secretive and mysterious people, but it seems that burying an article carries more weight than digging it, though one does need to supply a reason. On Netscape, I have not spent enough time to weight the relative merits of sinks and votes, though the influence of human editors there sidesteps some of this in any case. Of these three sites, only Reddit makes any attempt to truly harness the wisdom of crowds, hiding (though not well) the aggregate votes on links for the first hour after posting. With the total score unknown, people may act independently, but once that first hour has passed, other factors begin to intervene. In fact, hiding the aggregate number doesn't work as well as it might, both because the numbers are only a click away, and because the order of links is still based on that number. You're only acting independently if you're looking at a strictly time-ordered listing (which exists on Reddit, on Digg, and on Netscape) and ignoring the existing score (if possible).
How many people do that? Jason Calacanis, who ought to know as a former owner of Netscape, suggests an 80/19/1 rule, in which only 1% of site visitors are submitting new content, with an additional 19% voting. The majority of these people presumably vote only on what's already on the front page, serving to make popular things more popular but doing little to actually direct the content of the site. Again Reddit captures the efforts of these people the best by mixing new content in with very popular content, though still with built-in indicators of how other people rate the link.
The biggest problem seems to be visibility. When one submits a link to one of these sites, how many people will actually see it? If the first few people who see it don't value it, most people will never even see it, so the control of the site falls to those most able to spend the most time on it. Buried or down-voted links aren't seen, at least not by most people, while very popular links are seen by nearly everyone. Digg makes it easy to give a link a five-star rating, but more difficult to give a link a one-star rating, and so obviously links get many more five-star ratings than one-star ratings. Reddit makes it easy to do both, but links that are hit with one-star ratings right away just disappear before they're widely seen. Also, people use the one-star rating for multiple purposes, not just to rate the quality of a link, resulting in over-emphasis on downvotes.
Mob Rule
The definition of "mob" I'm using here can usually be summarized as "large group of people who disagree with me." Let's face it, that's the problem. There may be some people out there who are perfectly happy with every link they see on these sites! I doubt it, but it's possible. People with short-term memories like seeing links that were just there a month ago. Young people like seeing links that were popular three years ago. Some people love seeing undated bits of trivia, or the same collection of photos stolen from random websites, or still more evidence that fire can't melt steel except when it can. Different individuals in the collection have different priorities, or different agendas, and sometimes the same people may vote differently from day to day, depending on what they had for breakfast. One day a person may be voting based on what they think other people will like, while the next day she votes only on what she likes. One morning someone votes against links with typos in the title, or overly-long titles, regardless of the link itself, but then something happens, and a long title with a typo gets their vote. All of these things should average out, given enough input, but it doesn't.
In fact, we come back to the issue of the people with the most time shaping the content. Not to put too fine a point on it, the people with the most time are not often the people with the most experience or wisdom. Those people are, we hope, creating content more than voting on it! How is it that anyone thinks that social news sites will avoid the Peter Principle? In a hierarchy — and make no mistake, the 80/19/1 rule makes each of these sites a hierarchy — every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence. That the employees are paid in egoboo rather than cash makes no difference. Over time, each of these sites faces increasing problems of incompetent individuals in its collection, and struggles with how to limit their effect.
How is that anyone thinks that social news sites will avoid the problems inherent to committees? When a sufficiently large group of individuals is added to a committee, the result more or less exactly fails to please anyone (with apologies to Douglas Adams).
On May 1, we saw what happens when a mob turns ugly, as Digg first attempted to comply with legal orders against them and then decided to bend their will to that of the mob, though the mob clearly lacked the ability to see the potential results of their actions — or care about them.
Harnessing the Crowd
Is there a way to harness the wisdom of crowds without falling into the trap of mob rule? A way to avoid the Peter Principle? A way to keep social news sites from turning into loosely-coupled committees? If so, the approach must lie away from the direction these sites are going. Can a site truly harness the wisdom of crowds and still be popular? Part of what makes these sites popular is what also contributes to mob rule: popularity.
The key to Galton's observation about crowds is that each person acted individually. Had there been a list of previous guesses available, most people would have clustered around existing guesses, even if those initial guesses were completely off-base. If the guesses of the experts had been broken out separately, people would have clustered even more heavily around those, though they turned out to be just as wrong as everybody else. While technical estimates are a different type of problem than ratings, some of the same principles apply.
Reportedly 95% of Kevin Rose's submissions reach the front page of Digg, and many of the top submitters are seen over and over and over again. Both are a demonstration of this type of clustering. If social news sites didn't list the submitter of a link, that would help cut down on clustering. Not listing the top submitters, as Digg has recently done, is a step in the right direction.
Presenting each voter with a random list of links, including some very popular links and some unpopular links, with no clues about their popularity, would result in voting more likely to harness wisdom, though each voter would have a less pleasant experience than if they were only perusing popular links. That's the trade-off: by decreasing the pleasure of the 19%, these sites can increase the pleasure of the 80%. The problem with this is that it punishes the people who contribute the most to the site in favor of the people who contribute the least. Of course, the site owners might consider the source of their revenue, as well. That seems to be what's driving Netscape more than Reddit or Digg.
Another thing that might help with the purity of the results is disallowing or not counting votes from other websites and the front page, but only counting votes from the "random list" pages. Again, this has negative effects in other ways, as content producers are less likely to feature links from their own websites back to social news sites if it won't directly benefit them.
A Fool's Errand?
In fact, there are good reasons for each of the choices each of these sites has made, though most of the choices actually disrupt the wisdom of crowds. If it isn't possible to build a big site that truly does harness the wisdom of crowds, if that isn't the highest priority — and it clearly isn't — then what are these sites, exactly, and how long are they sustainable? Can a site devoted to delivering quality results to the 80% attract enough of a 20% community to survive?
With the current crop of social news sites, the emphasis is on the "social." I look forward to the day when the emphasis shifts to the "news."

Felix Frankfurter (1882-1965) Annotated draft decree regarding Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, April 8, 1955 Page 2 Manuscript Division
The deliberations of the Supreme Court in its landmark case of 1954, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, which found school segregation to be unconstitutional, are well documented in the Library's manuscript collections.
After the Brown opinion was announced, the Court heard additional arguments during the following term on the decree implementing the ruling. While the NAACP lawyers had proposed to use the word "forthwith" to achieve an accelerated desegregation timetable, Chief Justice Earl Warren adopted Justice Felix Frankfurter's suggestion to use a phrase associated with the revered Oliver Wendell Holmes, "with all deliberate speed." Shortly after Warren retired from the Court he acknowledged that "all deliberate speed" was chosen as a benchmark because "there were so many blocks preventing an immediate solution of the thing in reality that the best we could look for would be a progression of action."
It became clear over time that critics of desegregation were using the doctrine to delay compliance with Brown, and in 1964 Justice Hugo Black declared in a desegregation opinion that "the time for mere 'deliberate speed' has run out." This draft decree with Frankfurter's own changes in pencil, along with related unique documents in the Frankfurter and Warren papers, has helped scholars analyze the evolution of the Brown case.

I was surprised the other day when I commented on another blog regarding a scrumptious looking loaf of bread with these words: I used to be a baker. After my fingers typed the words I paused----I used to be a baker? Logically, it made sense. Yes, I used to wake up in the wee hours of the morning to produce crackling loaves of various kinds of bread and bursting-at-the-seams sweet rolls. I no longer do. My clogs with the ever present coat of flour are now clean---the flour scrubbed off long ago.
The art of baking clung to me like the floury paste coating my clogs for months at a time. When I found baking all those years ago, it was an obsession beyond my other obsessions. I taught myself to make almost every type of bread, start sourdoughs from scratch in a vat of organic grapes, and roll out buttery sheets of homemade puff pastry and danish pastry dough. I idolized the U.S. National Baking Team like the geek I tend to be. I belonged to that starry-eyed back-to-basics crowd that dreamed of owning my own bakery one day. And then I worked as a baker at a small, artisan bakery. Initially, I envied the owner of the bakery. I only worked two days a week during the summer tourist months, allowing her a few days off. But there was one caveat to my baking aspirations: I am not a morning person. In fact, I take to early mornings like a slug takes to a salt lick. And in my third season of baking, I realized my inner clock would never adjust. That same summer, I discovered Aebleskivers. They're like a pancake taken to the cutesy extreme. A ball of dough baked in a specialty pan with jam in the middle and a faint powdering of sugar---what's not to love here? Of course, my family fell in love. And in my usual obsessive manner, I searched for the best recipe and made them repeatedly until I perfect them (well, as close as I could get). My daughter played along, too---no surprise since she loves anything with jam. Many weekend mornings were spent cranking out these charming balls of dough for friends while they attempted a pronunciation: Eberskeeber? One weekend, my Dad telephoned in the midst of my making them. He laughed a knowing laugh, "Don't you remember your Grandpa making Aebleskivers when you were young?" When he mentioned it, a memory flashed back to my Grandparent's yellow kitchen, and yes, I faintly remembered. My Dad added, "He used to make them in that pan of his father's---the pan he was so proud of… Well, you do remember that his Dad, your Great Grandfather, was a baker in Denmark, don't you?"
What?! No, I didn't remember this information at all---though it explained a lot. Not that I probably hadn't heard this information before---it was most likely filed away with all the other apparently superfluous information available during my teenage angst years. So my Great-Grandfather was a baker. In fact, he owned a successful bakery in Denmark before his immigration to America. Well. No wonder. And today, we made Aebleskivers again. Instead of heating them on the electric stove, this time we used my Mom's old wood-stove... I'm also working on a savory Aebleskiver recipe for our Christmas eve hors d'oeuvres... I'll keep you updated! In the meantime, here is our traditional recipe: Danish Aebleskivers You will need an Aebleskiver pan. It is a pan with deep indentations that produce these pancake balls. These pans can be found in many kitchenware stores or even thrift shops! Many people have unique methods of turning the Aebleskivers in the pan. I use a knitting needle to hook the side of the ball and quickly turn it---some people bend a tine on a fork to create a hook or you can use two wooden skewers. Experiment to find your preferred method! 1 C. milk 1/2 C. butter 3 eggs, separated 2 T. sugar 1 1/2 C. flour 2 tsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp. ground cardamom Approximately 1/2 C. jam Powdered sugar **Method: Heat milk and butter on stove-top until lukewarm and the butter is melted. Cool slightly and whisk in egg yolks and sugar. Combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl and whisk together. Whip egg whites until stiff. Stir the milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Carefully fold in the egg whites.
Heat your Aebleskiver pan over medium heat. When the pan is heated, drop approximately 1/2 tsp. butter into each indentation. With a pastry brush, spread the butter around.
Spoon approximately 1/4 C. of batter into each well. With a small spoon, drop approximately 1 tsp. jam into each Aebelskiver and top with approximately 1 T. more of the batter. When the batter starts to form bubbles, turn the Aebleskiver and bake for another couple minutes.
Remove the Aebleskivers to a plate, dust with powdered sugar, and serve warm.
Recipe makes approximately 20.
No, I'm not a professional baker, but I'm still a baker at heart.

MANAUS, Brazil — In the 1960s, Brazil's military rulers decided they had to populate the Amazon or risk losing control over the vast, isolated region. So they granted special tax breaks to Manaus, reviving a faded rubber-baron town in the middle of the jungle.
Manaus is still governed by special rules that keep it alive as a manufacturing center, though it remains connected to the rest of Brazil only by boat or plane. The city, which could easily retreat back into the jungle if not for government support, got another boost when it was selected as the only Amazonian site to be a host for the upcoming World Cup soccer tournament.
But Manaus' special problems will also be on full display during the games. After controversial and even fatal preparations here, residents are nervously hoping their city of nearly 2 million can pull off the event while taking advantage of the global spotlight.
"We'll have more tourists at one time than Manaus has ever seen," said Roberio Braga, secretary of culture for the state of Amazonas. "So we're planning 1,200 special events."
Most of the action will be on the field. And in the run-up to a World Cup dominated by nationwide scandals and protests, Manaus gained unwanted attention late last year when British media and the England football team manager questioned the wisdom of holding games here. England will take on Italy in the city on June 14, and the United States plays Portugal on June 22.
England manager Roy Hodgson initially said he would like to avoid playing in Manaus because of the heat and humidity. The Daily Mirror called it a "crime-ridden hellhole" and complained of the cost and difficulty of getting to the city, more than 700 miles inland from the Atlantic.
The proud Amazonian citizens were offended, and Mayor Arthur Virgilio said England was not welcome.
"Those were unfortunate comments and prejudiced," said Sandro Queiroz, a student and human resources manager at construction company JB Andaimes in Manaus, sitting in front of the 19th century Teatro Amazonas, a belle epoque relic of the rubber boom years. "Perhaps we spent too much on our stadium, but tourists will probably be well received."
In the last few months, Virgilio and Hodgson have patched up their differences. But their spat fed the debate over whether Brazil went too far to try to use the World Cup as an economic booster, insisting on 12 host cities instead of eight and erecting towering, glittering stadiums in places with little football culture or transportation infrastructure.
Manaus' new Arena da Amazonia, match-ready but still being worked on, is probably the most impressive structure in the region. Its 42,000 seats rise high above the flat city, its reds and yellows a tribute to the surrounding jungle.
But the stadium came at a price. In addition to the more than $275 million paid out, three workers died during construction.
Miguel Capobiango, director of the World Cup Management project in Amazonas, said he "does not believe" the accidents had anything to do with the rush to finish the stadium in time for the June kickoff.
"After the accidents, however, the local courts ordered that workers could not work on the roof or up high at night, which they were doing before," Capobiango said, standing near the field as a high-tech drone flew over the grass, analyzing it for faults.
"Negative comments about our city, made because of pure ignorance, just reinforce our belief that now is the time for the world to get to know Manaus and its culture."
Residents say they are anxious to see which way things go in June and July, as Manaus offers ample opportunities both for logistical disasters and for the world to become enchanted with their culture and exotic natural surroundings.
More than most of the host cities, Manaus is gearing up to showcase its cuisine — often considered the best in Brazil — as well as dance, opera, music and indigenous culture.
However, the city is nestled so tightly into the jungle that the heavy daily rains can knock out electricity and Internet service in places, sometimes for hours. It can be intensely hot and humid. There is little public transportation, and even under normal conditions traffic can grind to a halt. Crime is a problem, though the homicide rate is not one of Brazil's highest.
But the main problem is Manaus' location and infrastructure, a messy consequence of the tax breaks that started in the 1960s, experts say.
"Manaus is a perfect example of the lack of strategic planning. You have an industrial base but no logistical connections for the goods, and the heritage of the tax system has to be kept in place politically to safeguard the jobs and people that moved there because of the policy," said Paulo Resende, an infrastructure specialist at the Fundacao Dom Cabral business school. "The reasoning for this type of development in Manaus was not economic, it was entirely geopolitical, with the aim that Brazil would remain the guardian of the jungle."
Since there are no highways to the city, those who aren't willing to spend days traveling up the Amazon by boat will rely on Brazil's overstretched air transportation system, taking a four-hour flight that costs about $400 from Rio de Janeiro. One recent trip by air from Manaus to the coastal city of Natal, another World Cup city, required three stops and took more than 10 hours.
But development based on manufacturing has helped to conserve the natural environment around the city, since it provides jobs that don't involve deforesting — for wood, agriculture or meat production — as happens in most of the jungle regions in Brazil where roads have arrived, said Alex Rivas, a professor at the Federal University of Amazonas.
That has made Manaus a site for eco-tourism, a sector the government wants to boost with the spotlight of the World Cup. Alligators scurry into the Rio Negro near private roads to the houses of the elite, and visitors and residents take small boats to nearby reserves run by indigenous tribes.
Political insiders have questioned whether Manaus won the right to host games over Belem, a coastal city in the Amazon that is perhaps more tourist-friendly, as political support for an important figure in the government's coalition, former Gov. Eduardo Braga. Even if the World Cup's likely legacy for cities is still ambiguous, it's good business for construction companies that are essential political donors.
Construction has been good business in the Amazon recently, because of the fiscal policy as well as the World Cup project. Queiroz rose to human resources manager of his family's company at just 18, and now has 45 people under him. He's optimistic the World Cup will go well, on balance.
"But if the government's push to develop here disappeared," he says, "so might more than half of the city."

While it wasn't too long ago that Tom Cruise was jumping off couches after finding out that Mission: Impossible III broke all sorts of HD disc sales records, it looks like there's a new champ in town. Warner Home Video has proudly announced that The Departed has sold over 100,000 units during its short stint on the shelves, making it arguably the largest selling high-definition movie to date. It should come as no surprise that the press release is mum when it comes to HD DVD vs. Blu-ray numbers, but it did suggest that supporting both formats seemed like an amicable solution to appease both camps. So, any guesses as to which format strengthened the final figure most?

Planning your holiday? Visit our consumer website
Great Britain is the largest single market for tourism to the island of Ireland, delivering almost 50% of all overseas visitors and around one-third of all overseas tourism revenue. GB is also hugely significant for tourism to Northern Ireland.
Latest available data indicates that visitors from GB grew strongly in 2014. Figures from Ireland's Central Statistics Office (CSO) show visitor growth of +6% from GB last year. Figures from the Northern Ireland Research and Statistics Agency show holidaymaker growth of +1% in 2014.
Steady growth continues in 2015 and recent results from the CSO suggest GB visitors to Ireland are up 11% in the period January to July 2015. Results for Q1 2015 for Northern Ireland will be published shortly by NISRA.

Codeine Detox
There are lots of ways to detox from heroin. To me there is nothing like Clonidine; I think it is a gift from Godright after morphine itself. But not all people respond so well to Clonidine and it never hurts to have more tools in one's detox arsenal. In this article I will look at opioid substitution with particular attention to codeine.
Pretty much any opioid will block withdrawal symptoms. But they won't necessarily get you unaddicted to heroin. In the case of codeine, you are simply substituting because heroin breaks down into morphine (it is morphine that heroin addicts are actually addicted to) and codeine is only effective because of the small portion of it that transforms into morphine.
How Big Is Your Habit?
The main problem with using Codeine is that you have to take a lot of it to block the heroin withdrawal symptomsusually about 20 times as much. Making matters worse, most users do not know how much heroin they use. In San Francisco, a gram of heroin goes for $40. It goes for $140 in Portland; but the purity of a gram in Portland is two times that in San Francisco. These days a good rule of thumb is that street level heroin is about one-third to one-half pure.
Another issue is that users greatly exaggerate their habits. In general, a user's habit is about one-fourth of smallest amount he uses in a day. So if an addict used between $40 and $100 of heroin per day, figure one-fourth of $40 or $10. If he lived in San Francisco, this would constitute one-fourth a gram (250 mg) at one-third purity. This would mean his habit is about 80 mg per day. Thus, he would need roughly one and a half grams of Codeine to block the withdrawal symptoms.
In order to detox, the user will need to get enough Codeine for the entire process. This issue of HEROIN helper contains an article on isolating Codeine from a more or less legal supply. The procedure is quite easy but it is probably too much for someone in withdrawal.
Daily Doses
Once the user has acquired the Codeine, it is divided into twenty-one doses. Since the user will be weening himself, the doses must go down each day. Use the table below to determine the dose for each day. The amounts are given in percentages of the first day's amountthe first day's amount is determined as discussed above.
Day | Amount | Day | Amount | Day | Amount | ||
1 | 100 | 8 | 40 | 15 | 8 | ||
2 | 90 | 9 | 35 | 16 | 7 | ||
3 | 80 | 10 | 30 | 17 | 6 | ||
4 | 70 | 11 | 25 | 18 | 5 | ||
5 | 60 | 12 | 20 | 19 | 4 | ||
6 | 50 | 13 | 15 | 20 | 3 | ||
7 | 45 | 14 | 10 | 21 | 2 |
Codeine is destroyed in the body very quickly. As a result, the person detoxing should dose himself a few times per day. So the dose for each day should be divided into (for example) thirds, and taken once in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once before bed.

Recommended Software Enhancements:
For future use, I recommend the following enhancements to the Kindle's keyboard. In keeping with good user-interface design, the suggestions attempt to keep a consistent usage of keys between different usage mode, unless there is a compelling reason to do otherwise.
* items are the ones I think would be extremely useful
With the current Kindle 2 keyboard, it is extremely difficult to press alt-shift anything. I strongly suggest that this key combination not be used. It if must be used, then only use it for infrequently accessed commands that you absolutely don't want to accidentally hit, like a system reset.
*Alt-w: toggle wireless on/offAlt-f: find. Stay consistent with the common software like Windows, Word, etc. which use ctrl-f to find things. Unfortunately, Alt-f is currently assigned to "skip forward to next audio track", so changing this would be confusing.
When menus are displayed, each item should be preceeded by a number, 1 through 0. Pressing that number will immediately execute the corresponding menu entry. This would vastly speed up operation of the Kindle. This must be unmodified number keys. Just 1.2.3..etc.
*Alt-del: delete the document currently being read and go back to home screen. This is handy for blogs, newspapers, etc. Same as pressing the 5-way to the left on the home screen. *Alt-T: bring up the table of contents
alt-left: previous web page (like back button on most browsers). This is the same as the keyboard navigation on web browsers alt-right: next web page. Same as desktop web browsers alt-b: show bookmarks shift-alt-b: bookmark page. This is one of those exceptions. You don't want to be accidentally bookmarking pages, so make it a little difficult. Browser implementation While displaying web pages, something has to be done about the display of colored fonts. They are often unreadable or nearly so. Perhaps they should forego the rendering of colors, just keep them dark and readable and give up on the shaded visual indicators of links. Browser should cache the viewed page so that it doesn't have to reload if you change font size. This would also save Amazon on wireless data charges. Font size selection should be previewed, just like when reading documents. Font size selection needs to be rethought to match document viewing. Size 1 and 2 are unusable. Size 3 is good. Size 4 is unusably large. Keyboard shortcuts, where programmed into web pages need to be respected. Since most of us use the "mobile" versions of web pages on our Kindle that have numerical shortcuts, make the browser utilize these for effective browsing.
*shift-left: move to start of line*shift-right: move to end of line*shift-up: move to top of current page*shift-down: move to bottom of current page
Shifted keys should match a standard keyboard layout:shift-1: !shift-2: @shift-3: #shift 4: $shift 5: %shift 6: ^shift 7: &shift 8: *shift 9: (shift 0: )shift /: ?
There has been extensive discussion and griping on the web about the display of fonts. Some of this appears due to faulty screens while others refers to the anti-aliasing being too aggressive on small characters. All non-hardware complaints could be satisfied with the following software changes in the font selection "Aa" dialog box.
Font: Serif / Sans-serif
The sans-serif font on the kindle is extremely sharp and easy to read, with no degradation due to anti-aliasing artifacts.
Font weight: Normal / Bold
Bolding a font, serif or sans serif, would ensure that at least one pixel in every line of the character was solid black, not an anti-aliased gray . Line spacing Line spacing is associated with the display functions, selected on the Aa popup. Add an item on that page that allows one to fine tune the line spacing rather than hiding it with a difficult key combination.

delete - same as pressing the 5-way left alt-delete (or shift-delete?): Delete the selected item without confirmation alt-#:Add numbers by each of the "books" on the home screen. Then, allow alt-1..9 to immediately select any of those items.
Note: some suggestions proposed by others. They are credited with their Amazon username. Thanks for the inputs! Where possible, I'm rolling in specific shortcuts into the above suggestions. "bderoes'
BACK: needs an un-BACK button, probably Alt-BACK. For times when I've gone back one level too far, and really still want the search results, or the Book Description page, or whatever.Samples: I understand that you (Amazon) don't want to provide full functionality with samples (highlighting, comments, etc.), but I've felt a strong need for a bookmark. With a sample, I want to skip around a bit to see what's happening. If I get that urge while I've been reading the text, I have no way of keeping my place other than memorizing the location before I go.Skipping around: some how there needs to be a skimming feature, or a jump ahead/back feature, where you don't have to slog through every single page - for the times you ask "how long is the author going to beat on THIS idea?" From reading the Kindle Forums, I see that K1 has such a feature. Don't know why you eliminated it altogether for K2. Maybe if I understood how much a "location" was, I could Go To Location ahead of where I am. In reality, maybe I want an entirely new feature, that would find the next heading or extra spacing, or differently formatted text for me. Chapter stops, or "where am I, locally." I suppose this is more a suggestion for publishers, but perhaps you can pass it along. The most disconcerting thing about an ebook vs. a paper book is that I cannot easily check how much further until a logical break. I tend to read until the end of a chapter or a section of some sort. Knowing the current location number or % within the book doesn't satisfy that at all. So I've decided to start a book by adding bookmarks at the beginning of each chapter, so that I have a visual reference along the location bar. But that leads me to...Navigation to bookmarks: Why not let us skip to "next bookmark" with a right or left flick of the 5-way button? You provided a skip to the next chapter using the 5-way in the Kindle 2 User Guide. The New Yorker lets me skip around the articles with the 5-way. Why not also for user-installed bookmarks?Hot-keys: need more of them! One for every menu item, please. Or at least "Go to Beginning," "Go to Location," and "My Notes & Marks."Samples, part 2: When I buy the book after reading the Sample, it would be awfully nice if the full book would download OVER the sample, and pick up the location where I left the sample.[I guess the following is obsolete, since Bufo Calvin realized we can tag our books with code words, but I still would like an option to set aside the Sample books, which I've updated below. I haven't tried Bufo's suggestion yet, so I don't know how it sorts the results.]Home: Yes, we definitely need a better way to organize our books. Especially with 1500 possible. I would vote for Tags, which you could display where you currently show "Sample" and "New." But give us the ability to sort by the Tag, and/or select by the Tag. If I want stuff within the tag to be sorted, perhaps make me do that first. So if I want to see my Mystery books by Author, I'd first sort by Author, then by Tag. Or perhaps a search of Tag data only, so I only get the books with "Mystery" Tag (not every book with the word "mystery" somewhere in it.) I'd also like an option to hide or display Sample titles (I guess this is Samples, part3). Just as you can display just Books or Periodicals or Personal Docs, relegate Samples to their own category.

The US State Department has acknowledged weaknesses in security related to the deadly September 11 assault on the diplomatic mission in Libya as a scathing independent report faulted management failures at the department.
Testifying at the first of two congressional hearings, Deputy Secretary of State William Burns said Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was putting in place 29 recommendations made by a special review board. She also is creating a position to focus on diplomatic security for high threat posts.
Clinton had been scheduled to testify before the committees but cancelled after fainting and sustaining a concussion last week while recovering from a stomach virus. Clinton is under doctors' orders to rest. Lawmakers still want to hear her testimony.
The investigation's conclusions and the political fallout from the attack in Benghazi led four State Department officials to resign on Wednesday.
"We learned some very hard and painful lessons in Benghazi," Burns told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. "We are already acting on them. We have to do better."
Republicans tangled with the officials over whether warning signs of a deteriorating security situation were ignored and why the department didn't ask Congress for money to boost security at the mission in the eastern Libyan city where US Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed. Benghazi was relatively lawless after the revolution that toppled Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.
"We made the mistaken assumption that we wouldn't become a major target," Burns said.
Many Republicans have used the Libya attack to criticize the Obama administration and its response. Their opposition to UN Ambassador Susan Rice as a possible candidate to succeed Clinton, after Rice blamed the attack not on terrorism but on protests against an anti-Muslim film, led to Rice taking herself out of the running, even after Rice explained that she had relied on talking points drawn up by intelligence agencies.
Senator Jim Inhofe, a Republican, ticked off a long list of incidents involving Westerners in the months before the raid, including attacks with rocket-propelled grenades and improvised explosive devices. Just two days before the September 11 assault, Stevens had requested additional security.
Burns pointed out that report found no "specific tactical threat", but said Inhofe was correct to identify a troubling pattern.
"We did not do a good enough job in trying to connect the dots," Burns said.
In the first White House comment on the report, spokesman Jay Carney said what happened in Benghazi was "clearly unacceptable", and problems need to be fixed.
The hearing provided an odd scene because the committee chairman, Senator John Kerry, a Democrat, is a top candidate to replace Clinton as secretary in President Barack Obama's second-term Cabinet. Kerry presided at the hearing, but asked no questions of officials who could be his future employees.
In an opening statement, Kerry said the department had "clear warning signs" of a deteriorating security situation before the attack. He also faulted Congress for failing to provide sufficient funds to protect facilities worldwide, forcing the department to scramble to cover security costs.
The department is seeking about US$1.4 billion (NZ$1.67b) in next year's budget for increased security; the money would come primarily from funds that haven't been spent in Iraq.
The breakdown: US$553 million for 35 additional Marine Security Guard detachments, US$130 million for 155 diplomatic security personnel and US$376 million for security upgrades and construction at new embassy compounds.
Since the attack, Democrats have complained that Republicans cut US$300 million from the Obama administration's budget request of US$2.6 billion for diplomatic and embassy security this year.
Senator Barbara Boxer, a Democrat, pointed out that the House balked at cutting money for US military bands, which was about US$388 million.
"We need to get our priorities straight around here and we can't walk away and invite another tragedy, and as much as people like to say, 'well it's not the money', it's the money," Boxer said. "You can't protect a facility without the funding."
Joining Burns on Capitol Hill was Deputy Secretary of State Thomas Nides, who is in charge of management.
Stevens was killed in the attack along with information specialist Sean Smith and former Navy commandos Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, who were contractors working for the CIA. Stevens was the first US ambassador killed in the line of duty since 1979.
An unclassified version of the report by the Accountability Review Board found "systematic failures and leadership and management deficiencies at senior levels" of the State Department meant that security was "inadequate for Benghazi and grossly inadequate to deal with the attack that took place".
The report singled out the Bureau of Diplomatic Security and the Bureau of Near East Affairs for criticism.
Obama administration officials said those who resigned were Eric Boswell, assistant secretary of state for diplomatic security; Charlene Lamb, deputy assistant secretary responsible for embassy security; and Raymond Maxwell, deputy assistant secretary of state who oversees Libya, Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to discuss personnel matters publicly.
Some of the three may have the option of being reassigned to other duties, said the officials.

Crowd Violence
The basic plot of AMONG THE THUGS is the examination of crowd violence in the form of football supporter "firms." Buford begins this examination by simply describing the violence from an external perspective to show the depth of destruction of which these individuals are capable. Through his eyes, readers see individuals who beat others senseless, destroy property, and have a complete disregard for others. Buford explains shortly, however, that as a part of this crowd, he begins to understand what happens when crowds turn violent. Buford points out that individuals cease to be individuals when placed into a crowd, and they instead become a part of something larger and less identifiable. As such, they become more susceptible to leaders, since their own sense of individuality has been removed. If one person, whether a leader or not, makes a move toward violence, the entire crowd is likely to...

Our naughty school girls fuck teachers and they love to get as much of those professor cocks as they can, before they graduate. But don't think that our teachers are "victims" of the sweet taste of young fresh pussy, because teachers fucking school girls is the best way to maintain discipline in the class, especially when that pent-up hard dick can get the ultimate fuck-relief in the process as well.
It's easy to see why our delicious sexy school girls get what they want so easily, because they love to tease in their skimpy school uniforms, playing with themselves all the time. No teacher can say no to these horny school girls, and the more naughty school girls are, the better their yearly report will be.
But there's one more important reason why school girls fuck teachers, namely because they want you to watch and stroke along.

The Reform movement is rolling out a new critical commentary on the Torah, written entirely by women scholars. The new tome combines a number of diverse elements, including biblical scholarship, poetry and entries that focus on how women's issues are dealt with in Scripture.
"The Torah: A Women's Commentary," published by the Union for Reform Judaism Press, will be introduced at this week's biennial convention of the Reform movement. The book, which is a complete critical analysis of the Torah, is the result of 14 years of discussion and planning that has been overseen by the Women of Reform Judaism, the women's affiliate of the Reform movement.
"We are a moment in history at which, for the first time, there is a critical mass of senior women Bible scholars," URJ Press editor in chief Hara Person said in an e-mail. "And in addition, there is now also the next generation, their students who are becoming major scholars in their own right. This was an opportunity to highlight the work of these scholars."
By happenstance, "Women's Commentary" is being published at the same time as the Reform movement's new prayerbook, Mishkan T'filah. Both books reflect the Reform movement's increasing interest in traditional Jewish texts combined with an open-ended approach to how those texts are used.
"Women's Commentary" is structured around five layers of commentary: a line-by-line critical analysis of the text; a critical commentary on each chapter; an analysis of major rabbinical commentaries on the texts; a modern reflection on the text by nonbiblical scholars, and a section of poetry and other contemporary writings on themes related to the text. The commentaries include works by scholars from all streams of Judaism, as well as material from unaffiliated scholars. In each section, the commentaries will focus largely, though not exclusively, on issues related to women.
According to Person, URJ Press is printing an initial run of 12,500 books and 9,000 have already been presold.

How Do I....?
How do i convert the following output into a integer?
i am basically creating the public key and private key for a rsa encryption and decryption class, when i print my public key and private key i always get something like this:
Encrypt@8a0544 - This is the Public Key (Need to display as number)
Decrypt@5e2ccd - This is the Private Key ( need to display as a number)
any clues guys? if you need the whole code let me know
The line of code is:
Java Code:/** * Create a RSA object for a public key holder, * with just e and n. */ public Encrypt(long public_e, long public_n) { e = public_e; n = public_n; }
Java Code:Encrypt A = new Encrypt(e, n); // Public Key

they are in two seperate classes i have uploaded the code its very simple not too long...have a look as see if you can assist me please....
I'll pass on looking at their code, but it looks like you're calling (either directly or indirectly) toString on Encrypt and Decrypt objects, such as would happen if you did
Java Code:Encrypt myEncrypt = new Encrypt(e, n); System.out.println(myEncrypt);
Java Code:Encrypt myEncrypt = new Encrypt(e, n); System.out.println(myEncrypt.getPublic_e() + ", " + myEncrypt.getPublic_n());

is that real or has it been edited? If it's real, it's amazing. Some painters reportedly were able to draw a perfect circle: Duerer and Giotto, for example.
The cynic in me wants to cry 'fake' but, as you rightly say, some artists are supposed to be able to do this.
I had a math teacher in high school that would go on and on about his perfect circle drawing skills. He was pretty good at it.
warning #1: Minors, please don't read this post. Easily offended men either. You have been warned! warning #2: cynicism at work he propably was pretty bad in bed... In my experience men prefer to brag about their abilities in that particular field. Only if they have nothing to brag there, they'll concentrate on other physical activities (like drawing circles). In the worst case, they'll buy a BMW or Porsche.
If that gif's not been fiddled with, I'll bet the guy had to draw a lot of ugly lopsided circles first, before getting it dialed in. Edit: Sure looks like he's doing it for real, though. Edit2: Or view the full clip: [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAhfZUZiwSE[/yt]

Port Gibson,
No one has favorited this theater yet
The Folly Theatre was open in the early-1940's with a seating capacity of 300. The Folly Theatre was much smaller than the Crystal Theatre located around the corner and down a block. The theatre was operated by Theatre Services. The Folly Theatre closed in the mid-1950's which left the Crystal Theatre as the only operating theatre in Port Gibson. The building which housed the Folly Theatre is still standing, but its usage is unknown.
Any additional information on the Folly Theatre would be appreciated.

Homeschooling Moms

Anybody else pretty "traditional scholastic" in their approach? (i.e. textbooks, workbooks, projects, etc)
We started out more unconventional and have slowly gravitated to conventional as my kids have gotten older. My dd is too old for the hands on, craft-based curriculums and just wants the structure that conventional education offers. We still do a lot of visual stuff for ds, but most of it is just plain old textbooks.
I don't really know what we are yet as this will be our first year. I do have a good amout of textbooks/workbooks but I have read enough to know this might not cut it for us and we might have to change it up. I hope to do a bunch of field trips to reinforce lessons. So I guess my PLAN for the year is pretty traditional. We will see how it works out.
We use a very structured boxed curriculum. My girls are thriving with it an excelling at a rate faster than their peers. We are going to start our next year in January, but I don't want them to lose a lot in the 5-6 mos that they will have "off", so we are going a little unconventional and going to learn things that I think they will have fun with....like the solar system and then get to build one.
Quoting Homeschoolmom99:
I used K12 for 8 years now going to go off grid this fall
Quoting coala:
WE are very traditional in our approach. I am going to try some "non-traditional" methods through the fall...until Thanksgiving. I hope this may bring my kids and I closer to each other.

Being a non-toxic solution, Rusterizer leaves no harmful chemical residues that could cause allergies, headache and breathing difficulties.
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) August 24, 2012
With rust removal comes a lot of expenses and work. Not to mention, several health risks also go with it. However, if what is used is a rust removal product that is non-toxic, one can avoid those health risks and the unnecessary spending that come along with them. And so to help rust sufferers get a rust remover that is truly effective all while being non-toxic, Rusterizer introduces and recommends its own rust removal spray.
Discover the Effectiveness and Greenness of Rusterizer
Rust can basically weaken iron metal items. In just a short time, it can cover the piece completely and render it useless. Its stain can also degrade the aesthetic value of items made with materials such as fabric, plastic, concrete and wood.
And so to preserve the function and appearance of most items in houses and workplaces, one must implement a rust removal process right after corrosion is discovered. If a rust treatment is not promptly carried out, the damage to the rusting piece could get bigger in just a short time. And that could mean bigger expenses for the repair of the item. Worse is that the damage could require replacement of the whole piece.
However, more than just making sure that the rust treatment is prompt, any rust sufferer must also see to it that the product to use for the process is safe said Rusterizer. It stated that there are many rust removers advertised as highly effective but are toxic. They may offer fast results but with their strong chemical ingredients, they could pose more threats to the consumers, it added.
To make sure that the rust treatment is effective and safe, Rusterizer said that any rust sufferer should go for its rust removal spray. It also labeled as Rusterizer, the product is made with natural ingredients. And so, unlike most of the cleaning products today, it is non-toxic.
See How Rusterizer is Made Health and Environment Friendly
Being a non-toxic solution, Rusterizer leaves no harmful chemical residues that could cause allergies, headache and breathing difficulties. And so, anybody exposed to it are safe from the said health risks and more. And without those health risks, any additional medical expense is also prevented.
However, although made with natural ingredients, Rusterizer is effective said its manufacturer. Its gentleness to health and even to the environment does not compromise its toughness to rust and its stain, it added.
To prove those claims of greenness and effectiveness, Rusterizer decided to give out complimentary samples of the product. And more than that, to those who will purchase the solution, homeowner or contractor, the company is now offering it with free shipping.

6k | CV-13 was named for "two famous old vessels in the Navy bearing th[e] name [Franklin]." (Very special thanks to Robert J. Cressman, Naval History & Heritage Command.) USS Franklin, a ship-of-the-line, built in 1815 under the supervision of Samuel Humphreys, was the first vessel to be laid down at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. Franklin sailed on her first cruise on 14 October 1817, when under the command of Master Commandant H. E. Ballard she proceeded from Philadelphia to the Mediterranean. She carried the Hon. Richard Rush, U.S. Minister to England, to his post. Subsequently she was designated flagship of the Mediterranean Squadron, cruising on that station until March 1820. She returned to New York on 24 April 1820. From 11 October 1821 until 29 August 1824 she served as flagship on the Pacific Station. Franklin was laid up in ordinary until the summer of 1843 when she was ordered to Boston as a receiving ship. She continued in this capacity until 1852 at which time she was taken to Portsmouth, N.H., and broken up. |

Kamikaze attack, October 30, 1944 |
[USS Franklin] was underway about 1,000 miles off Samar on 30 October [1944] when enemy bombers appeared, bent on a suicide mission. Three doggedly pursued Franklin, the first plummeting off her starboard side; the second hitting the flight deck and crashing through to the gallery deck, showering destruction, killing 56 and wounding 60; the third discharging another near miss at Franklin before diving into the flight deck of the small carrier Belleau Wood. Both carriers retired to Ulithi for temporary repairs and Franklin proceeded to Puget Sound Navy Yard, Bremerton, Washington, arriving 28 November 1944 for repairs to her battle damage. She departed Bremerton on 2 February 1945 and after training exercises and pilot qualification joined TG 58.2 for strikes on the Japanese homeland in support of the Okinawa landings.

Solubility Data
Posted 05 April 2006 - 10:47 AM
Ive got to design a absorption column and to do part of my design i need to know the solubilty of so2 and nox in caustic soda and i cant find it anywhere! i was just wondering if anyone could help! thank you!
Posted 06 April 2006 - 11:36 AM
Posted 06 April 2006 - 01:17 PM
if equilibrium is reached. The mass transfer and kinetics can limit the amount that is absorbed. So there is no clear cut answer to the question - like you said.
Posted 10 April 2006 - 08:12 AM
I'm a little confused by your talk of equilibrium. When you reach the point where you cannot absorb additional acid gases, you have exhausted your caustic and you no longer have an alkaline solution. I suppose that ideally you might strive to reach that point for the sake of maximum caustic utilization, but pH is a tricky thing and can swing rapidly fron high to low pH as you approach "equilibrium". Therefore, practically I don't think you'd ever get too close to a pH of 7. If you accept that, then you are always operating with an alkaline sorbent solution and you never reach solution/gas "equilibrium". You can reach steady state by operating the process continuously and setting a "blowdown or drawoff" flowrate to produce the desired solution pH. The desired pH would definitely be in the alkaline range.

Posted 19 April 2006 - 02:56 AM
Concerning NOX, usually you have both NO and NO2 ; the partition depends on the upstream process. In incinération you have about 10% NO2 and 90% NO
NO2 is soluble in caustic, NO is not. To scrub NO you need an oxidizing agent, like sodium chlorite, hydrogen peroxide, ....
You will find a lot of litterature concerning NOx wet scrubbing.
Some people also use ozone of phosphorus to oxidize (in the gas phase) the NOx all the way to nitric acid.
If you plan to use caustic, keep in mind that at a high ph (>8.5) you'll start collecting the CO2, if any is present.
Posted 19 April 2006 - 08:04 AM
Posted 19 April 2006 - 12:23 PM
no there is no CO2 in my absorption column. Only NOx and SOx. The NOx and SOx are quite dilute and make up about 17% of the incoming gas the rest is steam. Does this mean i can still consider it to be total absorbtion in my column?my tutor said that for my equilibrium line i should look at the solubilty of nox and sox in water as they react with the water first and then with caustic soda and the reaction with the water is the rate determining step-is this correct? Thank you for you help.
Posted 20 April 2006 - 09:54 AM
If you are using caustic you cannot calculate the absorber based on the SO2 (or NO2) solubility, because the reaction SO2 + NaOH --> NaHSO3 or Na2SO3 (depending on pH) is a very fast reaction, that will speedup the transfer. (refer to Perry's handbook for the basics, see enhancement factor)
You may have two limiting factors
the gas side mass transfer coefficient (at low concentrations)
the liquid side mass transfer coefficient (at high SO2 concentrations, for example)
so in a such case you need to worry about both sides, liquid and gas.
Since NO is barely soluble and will not readily react with NaOH, you may use solubility data to calculate your equilibrium line and select your operating line.
For SO2, at a pH high enough (say > 7) there is almost (almost) no SO2 as such in the liquid phase. so the equilibrium line is almost flat, and the only controlling parameters will be the kg.a and kl.a . The main criteria for selecting L/G would then be how concentrated you would allow the bleed to be (obviously less than saturation)
for NO2, the solubility is limited, but there will be some enhancement because of reaction with NO2
Are you a student?
If your need more help, please supply the actual flowrate, full composition incl. concentrations of NO / NO2 / SO2 , and temperature / pressure , along with specifications
I think that you'll need more than caustic if you have much NO (nitrogen monoxide)
Posted 21 April 2006 - 05:45 AM
my flow rate going into my absorption column is 3652.707 kg/hr and 88% of it is steam, 1.5% is SOx and 10% is NOx. is this a very concentrated stream? also do you know how much nox and sox i am legally allowed to give off in my plant? im still a little bit confused about what i have to do for my equilibrium line. thank you so much for your help!
Posted 21 April 2006 - 08:38 AM

In your case, I do not have enough information to advise what would be best.
Now, I will not discuss this matter any further if you don'nt give the full composition, including NOx speciation.

I have recently begun working for a company that often has cause to design packed beds to reduce NOx emissions. They are acid plants so I guess NO will get oxidised and this is why we always refer to it as NOx and dont consider the make-up.
I am having problems with design of these columns though - I thought we might be able to share our information. The reaction takes place in the liquid phase and can be considered fast and irreversible. The limiting step is the adsorption to the liquid and so you need to use the Kga value for working out the height per transfer unit. Because it's a fast irreversible reaction you can consider the operating and equilibrium lines to both be straight. This means that you can calculate the number of transfer stages by just ln (y1/y2) where y is the gas conc in and out respectively. If you want i can e-mail a pdf of my source.
Emission limits depend on where the plant is - In China for example you can emit a lot compared to UK. We tend to be working on ppm though.
What this is leaving me with is the question of Kga values - where can I get these from for these scrubbers??

Posted 15 November 2006 - 12:14 PM
I too am designing a scrubber for HCl, SO2 with NaOH scrubbing. Now my question is: what is the pH needed to say that the reactions in the scrubber are irreversible, meaning NTU = ln(y1/y2)?
And, should I measure that pH at the flow out side of the liquid of the bottom of the scrubber?
Also, is it common for scrubbers that your G to L ratio is constant?

if equilibrium is reached. The mass transfer and kinetics can limit the amount that is absorbed. So there is no clear cut answer to the question - like you said.
you have told about the mt and kinetics . is there no possibility to generate the chemical dat by vle experiment.if i am wrong then plz guide me

Thanks Pilley for this lovely one. It's amazing what you can do with kaleidos. (I've been accumulating notes and eventually will have to play with that filter.)
Robbiel/Jenny, glad you enjoyed and that you don't mind me using your posts. It is fun learning kleido's and using someone else's posts makes it a challenge. I am jealous of the warm though, we are suppost to get a dumping of snow tomorrow and have had down to -15*F for the past couple of weeks. Warm posts tend to cheer me up.
Hi pilley, I clicked on puzzles and there it was! This is beautiful, you did a fantastic job and Jenny and I appreciate it very much. Glad you had fun. Thanks very much, we love it! I'm even number one for a short while!
