text: Hi guys. Sad news, a buddy of mine bought a 1971 el camino last weekend. Great clean car. Anyway tonight we decided to put her to the test, found us a good straight flat road and went off petal to the floor. We used a GPS to read out our speed, we hit 105 and BAM car is making so much noise. We get out and the drive shaft is sheered off, exhaust destroyed, brake cables cut. The front U joint is gone and the tail of the tranny case is cracked, smells of tranny fluid because its leaking everywhere. Question being, did the tranny give up or the U joint or the drive shaft? As far as we know the car had the original drive shaft and U joints. We do know it had 3.73 gears installed(the reason we needed a GPS to get our speed). I assume we lost our tranny because we couldn't get the car in park to start the engine.

The Summer Salon Series 2012: Beyond the Banner
Summer Salon Series 2012, was the third and final season of The San Diego Museum of Art's Summer Salon Series; which in 2013 became Summer Break. The Summer Salon Series presented lectures, readings, performances, concerts, film screenings, installations and workshops, every Friday night, from June 1 through August 31.
The 2012 series took inspiration from The Invention of Glory:Afonso V and the Pastrana Tapestries, an exhibition which featured four monumental fifteenth century tapestries. At the time of their creation, these works would have been considered a primary document of the battles they depicted; now, 500 years removed, we can understand how these tapestries were utilized as a tool to mold opinion, and a source of propaganda to serve King Afonso V's version of history. The 2012 series investigated topics of historical fictions, explored the dissemination of information, and asked artists to consider several questions such as:
- Where do we get our news from?
- Who and what controls our access to information?
- What are the historical images and myths that affect our current social, cultural and political discourse?
- How is fiction used by artists to tell stories and create awareness of particular issues? Is there such a thing as the ethical use of propaganda?
- With such a glut of information at our fingertips, how do we assemble this information into practical knowledge?
- What are the personal fictions we tell ourselves as individuals?
- When does "the document" become the event itself in terms of shaping public discourse?
View a list of 2012 artists and presenters, film screenings, and musical performances.
Artists and Presenters: Yinka Shonibare M.B.E., Pierre Bismuth, Mark Tribe, The Yes Men, Rina Banerjee, Steve Lambert, Andrew Dinwiddie, There Goes the Neighborhood, Micki Davis, Cognate Collective, Andrew Printer, Teddy Cruz, Sesshu Foster, The Border Corps, Anna Gray and Ryan Wilson Paulsen, Ash Smith, Periscope Projects, Omar Pimienta and John Pluecker, Katherine Brook, Stephanie Lie, Tim Schwartz, Joe Yorty and Kelly Eginton, Allison Cobb, Zac Montanaro, Jamilah Abdul-Sabur, Gary Garay, Joshua Tonies and Yinka Shonibare MBE.
2012 Films: Black Power Mixtape, The Night James Brown Saved Boston, The Battle of Algiers, The Century of the Self.
2012 Music: The Donkeys, Peaking Lights, Lou Damian and James Ruelas, Jacob Turnbloom, Greg Smaller, The Nervous Wreckords, Parker and the Numberman, Aquapuke, Smooth Badger, Mark Dzula, and Bombshell BOOM BOOM!
From 2010-2012, The Summer Salon Series was collaboratively curated by Agitprop and Museum staff, including Alexander Jarman, Manager of Public Programs, and Dr. Amy Galpin, Curator of Art of the Americas. Lorraine Graham curated the poetry component of each Summer Salon Series, and Rick Tyner curated the music presentations for the last year of the series.

Revolutionary Retreat to Historic Williamsburg
Greensprings Vacation Resort • Williamsburg, VA
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in a Two-Bedroom Villa ($169)
- Or, a Three-Night Stay for Two in a Two-Bedroom Villa ($229)
- $25 Dining Credit at The Powhatan Grille or The Kitchen at Powhatan
Imagine strolling along cobblestone streets of 18th-century Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, tracing the footsteps of presidents and statesmen from a bygone era. Feel how history melts into present-day relaxation with an Escape to Greensprings Vacation Resort, just six miles from historic Jamestown.
You'll want to begin your stay with a leisurely walk among the area's most historic landmarks: Explore the past as you wander through the ancestral homes of the indigenous American Indian tribes and discover the first English settlements of the New World.
A dip in the indoor pool follows, with some extra time spent in the hot tub (your tired dogs will thank you). After your plunge, head out for a round of golf at the adjacent Jack Nicklaus-designed course. Non-putters can hang back and enjoy a game of shuffleboard, or aim for a strike at the nearby bowling alley.
Be sure and take some time for Yorktown Victory Center, a museum of the American Revolution, which chronicles our country's evolution from a settlement of colonies to nationhood through an amazing hybrid of re-creations, film, and thematic events. At the Continental Army Encampment, historical interpreters demonstrate how American soldiers lived at the end of the war.
Your museum-weary selves will love a bite at The Powhatan Grille or The Kitchen at Powhatan. Filled with savory cuisine, head back to Greensprings Vacation Resort for a few leisurely, contemplative moments in the sauna. After a crash-course in American history, you deserve plenty of R&R.
"You'll never have a better opportunity to examine the past than in Colonial Williamsburg. Today, Williamsburg's Historic Area is, for all practical purposes, one of the world's largest and best living-history museums."-- Frommer's

Now that Phil Jackson is in charge in New York, he may be casting an eye at how the Oklahoma City Thunder can help out his team.
First, of course, is flirting with Derek Fisher to become the Knicks head coach, something Jackson has already been fined for.
Now, the coach may be looking at a trade with OKC that was nixed earlier in the year. According to the NY Post: "... the Thunder are looking at trading at least one of their late first-round picks, and Knicks president Phil Jackson said he's looking to obtain a pick for either round of the NBA Draft. The Post reported at February's trade deadline Oklahoma City made an offer for Iman Shumpert, but the Knicks passed. ESPN.com reported the Thunder offered their 29th pick.
That was before Jackson came aboard, and talks surely will be staged between the two clubs."

I would like those of you who have the cowen and cook n beals extracting system to pipe in, with what you like and don't like about your system that you have.
I plan on buying the spin float this year and maybe the heat exchange unit too from cook and beals. These two units, in my opinion are a must no matter what system you have. I would like to get a system that if push comes to shove that one person could operate.
Thanks for your time

How You Can Help Your Student With Career Planning
As a parent or guardian of a Binghamton University student, it is important to understand your role within the career decision making process. There are three key factors to remember when helping your student.
Support – Support your student's responsible involvement in campus activities and their exploration of new areas of study and interests. Help them feel empowered to make their own decisions, follow their own passions and develop their independence and confidence.
Listen – Students discover new things about themselves throughout the college experience and will likely want to bounce ideas off of you. Keeping an open mind and demonstrating a willingness to listen will be an important role for you to play.
Encourage – Encourage your student to take risks, move beyond their comfort zone, actively engage in their university experience, talk to new people and make other 'smart moves' that foster academic and career success. Encourage the early use of the Fleishman Center for Career and Professional Development.
Please take a look at the following pages for more information

7/23/13. Ocala, FL- After Bubba rained out for consecutive weeks for the first time in his reign on the oldest track in Florida, we hope to get one week-end of racing in the books in July. The Florida Mini Sprints make their third trip to Bubba Raceway Park and the E-Mods, Hobby Stocks, 1-800-ASK GARY Thunder Stocks, and Rent-N-Roll Gladiators will join them for a fantastic night of racing.
Shane Nichols holds on to a fifteen point lead over Shane Taylor in the E-Mod division, even though Nichols has four wins in six features this season. Shawn Taylor makes it a true "name game" as he is stuck in third. Charlie Howard, Jr. and Roy Crain are 100 or more back, but they have climbed into the top five as they inch closer to the front.
Devin Walker has built up a massive championship lead over Brian Shea, but Shea has updated his equipment and could put on a rally that would challenge his 2011 Thunder Stock title run. Hunter Gustafson, equal on wins with Walker at two-a-piece, is third, but he must fight hard to hold off the challenge from Sean Monoghan and Dennis Williams. Monoghan and Williams haven't committed to a full season, but they always challenge up front.
William Gillam, Brandon Elwood, and Melvin Fockler have put on the best championship battle thus far as Gillam took his first career victory and holds a four point lead over two-time winner (both this season) Elwood. Fockler had a rough start to the year, but has out-scored the front two by nearly fifty points over the last two months. Tony Campbell and Brandon Tillander have hit some rough patches, but they still sit within 150 points with more than enough time to make it up.
Stephen Frankland, a six time winner in 2012, holds a lead of 168 points over Bill Southard as he chases his first championship in the United States. Tom Sheehan had a hired gun in his #75 last time out and they found some speed that could propel Sheehan to his first career victory and even into second in the championship. Josh Fincher has slipped to over 250 out and Tyler Bryden continues to impress, even though he's 280 points out.
As of June 1st, Dirk Miller holds a twenty-seven marker lead over Eddie Moss, Jr. as Miller chases his first title. Moss comes off of a trip to the Upper Midwest where he tested his talents against some of the best Mini Sprints in the United States, but returns to some pretty tough competition in it's own right. Nick Snyder sits thirty-nine back in third with a win to his credit at Bubba Raceway Park, David Hall is seventy-one out in fourth and Jody McKenzie is over a race out in fifth.
Pits open at 4, stands open at 5, and racing is scheduled for 7. For more info, please visit www.bubbaracewaypark.com or call us at 352-622-9400.

A new exhibit at the Adventure Aquarium in Camden, New Jersey, is putting frogs on center-stage. The show, titled "Nature's Messenger," features amphibians from around the world and educates visitors about threat facing frogs. Biologist Lauren Hauber, who helped plan the exhibit, talked to TFK about the important role of frogs and other amphibians in our environment.
The exhibit has more than 20 species of frogs and other amphibians. Which one do you think is the most fascinating, and why?
The red-eye tree frog is the most popular because its eyes are so bright.
Besides frogs, what other amphibians are part of the exhibit?
Salamanders, such as the greater siren, are also featured.
Why did you decide to host the amphibian exhibit here at the Camden Aquarium?
We only have two exhibits a year, and frogs were chosen because they are an important part of our environment. Frogs are a signal to people when things become unhealthy in the environment.
Why do scientists study frogs and other amphibians?
Frogs are an indicator of the health of the environment. Studies on frogs help with medical cures of certain diseases. Since frogs breathe through their skin, they are more susceptible to changes in the environment.
In the wild, are these creatures in danger of becoming extinct?
Yes, they are. There is a fungus called chytrid, which is devastating populations of amphibians around the world. Frequently, pet frogs are released into the wild and disrupt the native populations. When they come in contact with other frogs, they can cause the spread of disease.
What can kids do to help frogs and other amphibians?
Prevent pollution. Don't throw anything into rivers. Put your trash in the proper receptacles.
For kids who don't live near the Camden Aquarium but who want to learn more about frogs, is there a website you recommend?
You can go to the Frog Watch section of the website for the Association of Zoos and Aquariums for more information. Another website is www.savethefrogs.com.

Today was a very good day! I started off on my journey after a certain roommate of mine encouraged me to take some pictures of the French countryside. I walked all around the neighbourhood and snapped photos of just about everything scenic or interesting. After that, I went back to the house to pack my handy dandy tote for a day at the pool! Before I could leave the house, Ang�lique informed me that she, Alida and I would be going to a disco this Friday! I am soooooooooo excited but I have nothing to wear so I'll be stopping by Carrefour tomorrow.
Anywho, after I picked up Alida in Quimper, we stopped by her friend's apartment so that she could join us
L�, we paid our entrance fee (6,30 euro), and descended to the changing rooms where I cringed at the wet floor. I am somewhat of a germaphobe when it comes to my feet and French sanitation laws forbid shoes in the pool area so I had to lock them away, and tip toe through the wet floors covered in dead skin, hair, and who knows what else. We showered, then walked into the main pool area. There was a wave pool, and a normal pool for serious swimmers. We started off in the wave pool for fun, but transferred to the big kid pool where we swam a few laps. Mine were pitifully slow, but after the second one, I was exhausted. Thus, we retired to the jacuzzi where we settled in for girl talk. Before we knew it, the bubbles stopped, and we realized the pool was closing.
Back at Alida's, we (Alida, Jensy, Marion her roommate, and I) settled in and watched some tv while Alida made dinner. I don't know what she does, but everything she cooks is delicious. It could be that I'm starving because of my diet + lack of food at home, but I relish a meal cooked by Alida. After dinner, it was already 10pm so I took Jensy home, and headed home myself where I told Ang�lique and Cyril about my day before retiring for the night.
I'm sure this is one of the most straight to the point entries I've written thus far, but that's because I am attaching a RIDICULOUS amount of pictures. So enjoy everyone, and expect another entry around Saturday.

Why not just kill Dany and Viserys
Then why marry her off to Drogo? Drogo could have lived for quite some time
Why hasn't every Stark of winterfell made sure to repair and man that fortress.
It's remote location and horrible environment makes manning, expanding, and maintaining the fortress expensive both in materials and lives.
The poor foundation soil causes the fortress to constantly fall into disrepair making upkeep incredibly expensive.
Varys is Aegon's uncle. Remember how Ned and Tyrion noted how different Varys could look in his disguises? By some kind of magic he is hiding his real eye color and will reveal that by the end of Winds.
By some kind of magic he is hiding his real eye color and will reveal that by the end of Winds.
I would personally prefer that he is just a smart sneaky son of a bitch though. Or reveal it in a way that the other characters believe it to be sorcery but the readers know it to be mundane. Like how the damphair brings people back to life with CPR but they think its trouhh the power of the drowned god
I agree. However, I don't think Varys is a Targ. I think he just wants the Targs in power because he recognizes them as the only ones strong enough to hold the realm together, and Varys serves the realm above all else.
Dany I think arrives in Dorne (with Tyrion in tow) near the end of the novel, with Varys counting Dany coming to King's Landing to claim her rightful throne, where he will try to capture her dragons and try to kill Dany. Whispers of the Fall of the Wall come South, but most just think its the Wildings that will merely give Littlefinger, Stannis, and Jon Snow more trouble. Dany then decides to march North (at the advice of Tyrion) to defend the Seven Kingdoms.
Will y'all sum up everything Varys did in the last 2 books? I don't seem to recall any mention of him within the last 2.
Well he killed Ser Kevan for starters, and he's been actively plotting for Aegon's rise to the throne.
Is the theory that Viserys is a Blackfyre killed? I kind of had it in the back of my head that his end game was to have Aegon, nephew IMO, retake the 7 kingdoms alongside Dany. Remember many believed that King Daeron was not the son of Aegon the Unworthy. So Aegon marrying Dany would serve to reunite Blackfyre, legitimate rulers of the 7 kingdoms, with the Targs, who everyone thinks is the rightful rulers.
believable that varys possesses some magical ability, he would be related to bloodraven after all.
I don't think that Varys ever intends for Aegon to know of his Blackfyre ancestry.
If he really cared for the Targaryens, he wouldn't have pitted Aerys and Rhaegar against each other, and would have sided with Rhaegar

Rodgers had a bad stretch of games too in the very beginning of the season and no one was saying he wasn't elite. Eli will turn this around.
20 page thread in 3 days, book it.
Mood: WOOF!
This thread will surpass 10 pages this afternoon.
I loved Phil and always thought he was an underrated QB, but he is talking nonsense. Eli might be the most wildly inconsistent elite QB in football history, but the kid has way more often come through in the clutch than not. Not to mention the magnitude of the games that he has done it in. Can't say I would take Eli over someone like Rodgers or Drew because the roller coaster seasons cut my life expectancy, but I have developed a feeling like Eli can get us out of any reasonable hole, no matter what the game situation is.

Hello all,
I enjoy your forum very much.
I own a house and 10 acres on a river in the Texas Hill Country that I rent to vacationers. I am planning to put a couple of hives on this property this spring. My main concern is not getting the guests stung. I plan to put the hives under a few mesquite trees about 100 yards away from the house and about 175 yards from the river. I had been planning on using B Weaver packages, but now after doing more research(defensiveness) I am not so sure. I am not worried about the foraging bees as much as people walking around close to the hive or guest's kids throwing rocks at the hives. I do plan to fence the hives with a 5' game fence with a space around the hives of 10' or so and "Caution: Bees" signs on the fence. I am leaving the boxes unpainted and the growth around the outside of the fence uncut to camouflage the area.
My questions are:
Should I try for a gentler bee breed?
Is there a better arrangement for the fence?
Will the bees go for the condensate pipe of the AC units on the house being closer than the river?
Any other ways I can deter quest-bee confrontation?
Thanks for all responses in advance,

Venezuela's opposition presidential candidate tore into government leaders on Wednesday as false revolutionaries lining their pockets while professing faith to the late Hugo Chavez's radical socialism.
Trailing in opinion polls ahead of the April 14 vote, Henrique Capriles is attacking acting President Nicolas Maduro and other senior officials as a corrupt and incompetent coterie unable to solve Venezuelans' basic problems.
"They talk of socialism, but it's on the surface only. Look how those well-connected ones live, what they wear, what cars they go round in, how many bodyguards they have," Capriles said.
"They are skin-deep socialists only. Their behavior, I'd say, is savage capitalism. They love traveling. During Easter, they were all off to La Orchila," he added, referring to a military-run island in the Caribbean off Venezuela.
The 40-year-old state governor is trying to persuade voters that rival candidate Maduro is a far cry from Chavez, who died of cancer a month ago.
But passions are still running high over Chavez's death, Maduro is presenting himself as the president's "son" and "apostle," and "Chavista" supporters are largely expected to obey their beloved leader's dying wish to support Maduro.
Nevertheless, Capriles' attack on Wednesday went to the heart of a common complaint from rank-and-file "Chavistas" that senior officials are out of touch with the people's problems, and too concerned with feathering their own nests.
"My fight is against the corrupt ones," Capriles added, in an unusual meeting with leftists who support him.
Perpetuating the class rhetoric common during Chavez's 14-year rule, Maduro and his supporters attack Capriles daily as a "little bourgeois" who is a puppet of Venezuela's wealthy elite and their friends in the United States.
Maduro, 50, is a former bus driver who rose to become Chavez's vice president, while Capriles, 40, comes from a wealthy family with extensive business interests.
The opposition candidate, who has governed populous Miranda state since 2008, said his record on building schools and anti-poverty measures spoke for itself.
"One ruling party leader said to me, 'Capriles, a single finger of yours is more revolutionary than the whole body of the candidate they have imposed on us,'" said Capriles, referring to a recent visit to the coastal town of Punto Fijo.
"Our people should open their eyes and wake up … What we have is bad leaders who have no idea how to resolve problems."
Opinion polls give Maduro a formidable lead of between 11 and 20 percentage points over Capriles, but some analysts think the gap could narrow before election day.
On the campaign trail, Maduro has lacked the charisma of his former boss, but he has covered himself in Chavez symbols and images. Most of his rallies begin with a recording of Chavez singing the national anthem.
On Tuesday, sitting in the garden of the humble rural home where Chavez grew up, Maduro even said Chavez had appeared to him in the form of a little bird that flew above his head and sang to him while he was praying in a chapel.
"I felt his spirit, like a blessing, saying 'the battle starts today, onward to victory, you have my blessing.'"
He repeated the story on Wednesday during a rally in the western Andean state of Tachira, condemning the mockery from opposition supporters that his tale had provoked. "God forgive them their bad ways and hatred," he said.
As well as working-class credentials that play well with loyal "Chavistas" and the late president's personal blessing, Maduro has a well-financed state apparatus behind him.
He also has the goodwill of millions who have benefited from Chavez's oil-funded welfare programs, or "missions."
Venezuela has the world's largest oil reserves.
Capriles, who calls himself a "progressive" and has mainly center-left views and policy proposals, wants to follow Brazil's model of free markets with strong social welfare protection.
"They will never return!" Maduro thundered to the crowd in Tachira on Wednesday. "This victory will be for Chavez!"

New areas deal with flood damage for first time
Heavy rain Thursday floods basements, damages yards
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Floods aren't common in southern Colorado, but they've become more common this year -- and even areas away from the wildfire burn scars are affected.
One of those areas dealing with a serious flood for the first time, is the Forest Valley neighborhood near Woodmen and Vollmer roads in northeast Colorado Springs. Neighbors said runoff water from heavy rain poured onto Forest Valley Loop, a newer subdivision with many homes acquired in the past year.
Several storm drains that were partially clogged by cinder blocks worsened the flooding, neighbors said. Water eroded yards and poured with clumps of hail into basement windows, breaking window frames and reaching almost to the ceiling.
Danny Compton and his wife, Andrea, couldn't believe it was happening. Their home, and that of neighbor Ron Becker, is between a walkway where flooding was the worst.
"We weren't really too worried about our house," said Compton. "We thought we were high enough, but it just got worse. We've seen some minor flooding here before, but nothing like this. We grabbed what we could and tried to use buckets to catch the water until it got to be too much."
The Comptons feared that Andrea's wedding dress was ruined by the flood. However, he said they found the dress and it's in good condition.
Becker used a power sprayer in his front yard to clean what he salvaged from his basement.
"They say the first couple of days are real important so that you don't get much mold," he said. "We bought all new furniture. We were installing a bar, my 70-inch TV screen, they're all gone. It's not going to be cheap to replace all of it."
Neighbors said they don't have flood insurance because they're not in a flood plain, but they hope to have coverage because hail was part of the damage. They also said they plan to speak with the developer about drainage in the neighborhood.

The information in the main or top section (see #1-4 and #6 on the sample nutrition label below), can vary with each food product; it contains product-specific information (serving size, calories, and nutrient information). The bottom part (see #5 on the sample label below) contains a footnote with Daily Values (DVs) for 2,000 and 2,500 calorie diets. This footnote provides recommended dietary information for important nutrients, including fats, sodium and fiber. The footnote is found only on larger packages and does not change from product to product.
In the following Nutrition Facts label we have colored certain sections to help you focus on those areas that will be explained in detail. You will not see these colors on the food labels on products you purchase.
(#1 on sample label):
The first place to start when you look at the Nutrition Facts label is the serving size and the number of servings in the package. Serving sizes are standardized to make it easier to compare similar foods; they are provided in familiar units, such as cups or pieces, followed by the metric amount, e.g., the number of grams.
The size of the serving on the food package influences the number of calories and all the nutrient amounts listed on the top part of the label. Pay attention to the serving size, especially how many servings there are in the food package. Then ask yourself, "How many servings am I consuming"? (e.g., 1/2 serving, 1 serving, or more) In the sample label, one serving of macaroni and cheese equals one cup. If you ate the whole package, you would eat two cups. That doubles the calories and other nutrient numbers, including the %Daily Values.
Calories provide a measure of how much energy you get from a serving of this food. Many Americans consume more calories than they need without meeting recommended intakes for a number of nutrients. The calorie section of the label can help you manage your weight (i.e., gain, lose, or maintain.) Remember: the number of servings you consume determines the number of calories you actually eat (your portion amount).
(#2 on sample label):
In the example, there are 250 calories in one serving of this macaroni and cheese. How many calories from fat are there in ONE serving? Answer: 110 calories, which means almost half the calories in a single serving come from fat. What if you ate the whole package content? Then, you would consume two servings, or 500 calories, and 220 would come from fat.
The General Guide to Calories provides a general reference for calories when you look at a Nutrition Facts label. This guide is based on a 2,000 calorie diet.
Eating too many calories per day is linked to overweight and obesity.
(#3 and 4 on sample label):
Look at the top of the nutrient section in the sample label. It shows you some key nutrients that impact on your health and separates them into two main groups:
(#3 on sample label):
The nutrients listed first are the ones Americans generally eat in adequate amounts, or even too much. They are identified in yellow as Limit these Nutrients. Eating too much fat, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, or sodium may increase your risk of certain chronic diseases, like heart disease, some cancers, or high blood pressure.
Important: Health experts recommend that you keep your intake of saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol as low as possible as part of a nutritionally balanced diet.
(#4 on sample label):
Most Americans don't get enough dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, and iron in their diets. They are identified in blue as Get Enough of these Nutrients. Eating enough of these nutrients can improve your health and help reduce the risk of some diseases and conditions. For example, getting enough calcium may reduce the risk of osteoporosis, a condition that results in brittle bones as one ages (see calcium section below). Eating a diet high in dietary fiber promotes healthy bowel function. Additionally, a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and grain products that contain dietary fiber, particularly soluble fiber, and low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease.
Remember: You can use the Nutrition Facts label not only to help limit those nutrients you want to cut back on but also to increase those nutrients you need to consume in greater amounts.
(#5 on sample label)
Note the * used after the heading "%Daily Value" on the Nutrition Facts label. It refers to the Footnote in the lower part of the nutrition label, which tells you "%DVs are based on a 2,000 calorie diet". This statement must be on all food labels. But the remaining information in the full footnote may not be on the package if the size of the label is too small. When the full footnote does appear, it will always be the same. It doesn't change from product to product, because it shows recommended dietary advice for all Americans--it is not about a specific food product.
Look at the amounts circled in red in the footnote--these are the Daily Values (DV) for each nutrient listed and are based on public health experts' advice. DVs are recommended levels of intakes. DVs in the footnote are based on a 2,000 or 2,500 calorie diet. Note how the DVs for some nutrients change, while others (for cholesterol and sodium) remain the same for both calorie amounts.
The % Daily Values (%DVs) are based on the Daily Value recommendations for key nutrients but only for a 2,000 calorie daily diet--not 2,500 calories. You, like most people, may not know how many calories you consume in a day. But you can still use the %DV as a frame of reference whether or not you consume more or less than 2,000 calories.
The %DV helps you determine if a serving of food is high or low in a nutrient. Note: a few nutrients, like trans fat, do not have a %DV--they will be discussed later.
Do you need to know how to calculate percentages to use the %DV? No, the label (the %DV) does the math for you. It helps you interpret the numbers (grams and milligrams) by putting them all on the same scale for the day (0-100%DV). The %DV column doesn't add up vertically to 100%. Instead each nutrient is based on 100% of the daily requirements for that nutrient (for a 2,000 calorie diet). This way you can tell high from low and know which nutrients contribute a lot, or a little, to your daily recommended allowance (upper or lower).
5%DV or less is low and 20%DV or more is high
(#6 on sample label):
This guide tells you that 5%DV or less is low for all nutrients, those you want to limit (e.g., fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium), or for those that you want to consume in greater amounts (fiber, calcium, etc). As the Quick Guide shows, 20%DV or more is high for all nutrients.

Anyone have experience dealing with M&A Parts? I notice they are not a sponsor but they have a very informative website. I'm thinking about buying an AR kit from them. :hatprop:
Yep. I got a kit from them in Oct or Nov. All parts were great and the kit once assembled has functioned without a hitch. They even knew I wanted it 3 months before I bought it. Of course now I want to buy an aftermarket FCG for it. All in all, I'd buy from them again.
I also got a parts kit (CAR16) from them in '05, everthing went together fine and it's been working without any problems. I'd buy from them again.
I've also had very good experiences with them - both quality of parts and customer service. They come around to some of the local funshows and I always seem to be there standing in line to buy something from them I need.
I bought 2 M4 kits from them last year, both were well built and once assembled ran prefect witout and hitches. A++
Thanks to all!
I have heard a lot of negative M&A comments from serious AR shooters of mine, when put side to side to a RockRiver, they do show some poor parts.
Just surely stay AWAY from model-1 sales, their stuff really is subpar and the service is great until you need it. They are more than happy to take your money but if they send the wrong thing, you are SOL.

They will screw you over in a heartbeat!! Let me give you the rundown.
A good friend of mine ordered 5, yes 5, 20" Varmint "kits" from them las year.
The kits came in. All looked "OK" at first, I say that because I was called over to the
shop to put the lowers together. We go to the last upper, pulled it out
of the plastic wrap and low and behold the upper receiver was broken, in not one,
but 2 places. I checked the plastic wrap, no tears, no sign whatsoever of any damage.
Guess what, it was packaged up damage!!. Ok, so at this point I'm thinking WTF were
they thinking when they packed the upper. So we give "Doc" at M&A a call. He say's
send the upper back to us and we'll replace it. So, the upper was sent back. They
said that they would send out another one. Well it took about a week and the upper
showed back up. Guess what, it was the same D&^% upper that had been returned
to them. Ok, so at this point my friend is about to blow a gasket. Well, he called
"Doc" at M&A again. He then changed his story and said that he didn't tell my friend
to send him the upper back in, he also said that it was broken "in transit" and that
a claim would have to be filed with UPS. At this point my friend asked to speak to
a "manager". "Doc" then put the owner of M&A on the phone. The guy then proceeded
to tell my friend that the upper was not covered under their "money back guarentee"
and that if UPS didn't make it right then "tough shit". Yes, he actually said that.
Well, long story short, my friend got his money back after he had the Credit Card
Company, put a stop hold on the payment for all 5 kits. M&A finally decided that
it wasn't worth the fight and gave my friend a credit for the one kit, but not the shipping,
and rebilled him for the other 4 kits.
The total outcome was about 4 months, yes 4 months of phone calls, BS, lies from
M&A, and the threat of a personal visit to M&A's office, and getting the CC Company
involved to finally get a resolution.
I have bought 2 kits from M&A, the first one had a bolt with a broken firing pin,
which they replace. The second was in the batch of 5 mentioned above.
I will NEVER do business with M&A again. They crossed too many lines.
My first parts kit came from them, very nice and 1st shot was a dead center bulls eye. I just had to have my stripped lower.
I have also heard of some customer service problems but personally had none.
You can probably do a search for the Darth Vador(sp) gun show incident where the owner from M&A attacked a guy at the Houston gun show and got baned from Houston shows.
I have heard more than one rumor that the present owner of M&A was the former owner of Nesard; an very similair Illinois based company that was involved with selling "questionable" parts to the Waco group that ultimately lead to the ATF fiasco that is now infamous. Can not verify veracity of this however.

this bike needs a new home...
Today I picked up this 1977 Raleigh Sports. It has a few dings and is in need of an overhaul. Yet it is all original, even the tires. All thats missing is the kickstand, seatpost nut and bolt, and the Brooks label from the rear of the seat. All of the R nuts are present. It will be overhauled and placed among the rest of my British fleet.
Help that bike out! get them reflectors out of them wheels and add lighting! and change the trigger shifter to the older type like from early 70's You will love the look much more! nice color of bike too.
Is it just me or is that shifter cable run the wrong way? Don't they usually run up to the wheel at the seat post on guys bikes?
That may be the cause of the deep bend in the forward cable housing.
Most of the later ones Ive seen were run low on the Sports and Tourist models. In these pics, the trigger shifter is way down the bars almost near the stem. I just got my pedicab moved out of the garage today and have a place to work again, it will be gone through soon.
Remove the original reflectors and change the original shifter???????? I like to keep them as original as possible
Is that your cold war Mopar lurking behind the bike? Does it need a new home, too?
I mean to change the parts to early raligh parts, those bikes shouldn't have plastic on them, i like keeping my bikes the period correct stuff on them but Plastic just cramps my style lol My DL-1 had one of them shifters on it, I put the other kind on it.
Regarding that cable, the reason it goes where it's going is because theres a pully wheel behind the sprocket, well should be, the early 70's models and years before that had it by seat clamp. most the time anyway, The pully on that one might not be adjusted proper making the wire run away from the lower tube, another reason I found was when the bikes where assempled some people made a mistake and ran it the wrong way and the chainguard gets in the way so they adjust it a alternative way. I know this because i've proberly owned over 250 of these bikes lol right now i think I have atleast 24 of them. by far my fav 3 speed bike.
The Raleigh sports is a bicycle that you can keep riding, despite never being maintained and sitting in all types of weathers, aslong as the tires hold air, even if they don't the bike will almost always be ridable. The 1939 Sports I have is a good example, it was hiding for such a longtime and rode like a dream once tires where aired up.
Obey The Raleigh! Get one for yourself!. Also highly modable!
My 1968 Superbe. New tires added since pict taken.
ive ended up with way too many Raleighs to post individual pics on different sites, So I have them in one place on the link below. I add to it all the time.
Cashman, would you be interested in parting with this book?
Very few ladies bikes on here, So heres a 72 to add..Brooks saddle and S/A 3 sp. Yall got some sweet ones!
I think I've had at least 3 in the past. All Sports from what I recall. I I think I stripped them all for parts. I do remember chopping a girls to make a swing bike.
Only one I took photo of
Shirt I have
I'd invite You here Joe but then I wouldn't get to see what Ya got there in Kansas! One of these days!!!!! :lol:
Just won the ebay auction for a new in box 2004 Raleigh Chopper. I know, its a repop but an original is way out of my range.
I always likedf them little choppers. I want a Raleigh Firebolt, I likes those, i should update my collection in this thread lol I have a few new Raleighs

Tracking who's hot and who's not presents an algorithmic challenge
Brian Hayes
Back in 1999, the operators of the Lycos Internet portal began publishing a weekly list of the 50 most popular queries submitted to their Web search engine. Britney Spears—initially tagged a "teen songstress," later a "pop tart"—was No. 2 on that first weekly tabulation. She has never fallen off the list since then—440 consecutive appearances when I last checked. Other perennials include Pamela Anderson and Paris Hilton. What explains the enduring popularity of these celebrities, so famous for being famous? That's a fascinating question, and the answer would doubtless tell us something deep about modern culture. But it's not the question I'm going to take up here. What I'm trying to understand is how we can know Britney's ranking from week to week. How are all those queries counted and categorized? What algorithm tallies them up to see which terms are the most frequent?
One challenging aspect of this task is simply coping with the volume of data. Lycos reports processing 12 million queries a day, and other search engines, such as Google, handle orders of magnitude more. But that's only part of the problem. After all, if you have the computational infrastructure to answer all those questions about Britney and Pamela and Paris, then it doesn't seem like much of an added burden to update a counter each time some fan submits a request. What makes the counting difficult is that you can't just pay attention to a few popular subjects, because you can't know in advance which ones are going to rank near the top. To be certain of catching every new trend as it unfolds, you have to monitor all the incoming queries—and their variety is unbounded.
In the past few years the tracking of hot topics has itself become a hot topic in computer science. Algorithms for such tasks have a distinctive feature: They operate on a continuous and unending stream of data, rather than waiting for a complete batch of information to be assembled. Like a worker tending a conveyor belt, the algorithm has to process each element of the stream in sequence, as soon as it arrives. Ideally, all computations on one element are finished before the next item comes along.
Much of the new interest in stream algorithms is inspired by the Internet, where streams of many kinds flow copiously. It's not just a matter of search-engine popularity contests. A similar algorithm can help a network manager monitor traffic patterns, revealing which sites are generating most of the volume. The routers and switches that actually direct the traffic also rely on stream algorithms, passing along each packet of data before turning to the next. A little farther afield, services that filter spam from e-mail can use stream algorithms to detect messages sent in thousands or millions of identical copies.
Apart from the Internet, stream algorithms are also being applied to flows of financial data, such as stock-market transactions and credit-card purchases. If some government agency wanted to monitor large numbers of telephone calls, they too might have an interest in stream algorithms. Finally, the designers of software for some large-scale scientific experiments adopt a stream-oriented style of data processing. Detectors at particle-physics laboratories produce so much data that no machine can store it all, even temporarily, and so preliminary filtering is done by programs that analyze signals on the fly.

A statement from Lois B. DeFleur President, Binghamton University
Binghamton University has just been informed by the State University of New York that
$230,000 in additional funds, specifically earmarked for the intercollegiate wrestling program, have been allocated to Binghamton's operating budget by Governor George Pataki. I am grateful to the Governor for his support. I would also like to thank Senator Thomas Libous for his support in obtaining these funds to reinstate our program.
The decision made last fall to discontinue wrestling at the end of the 2004 season was budget driven and based on our commitment to make academics our top priority during challenging times. Now, this funding will enable the University to preserve our commitment to our academic priorities, while providing support to continue our wrestling program.
Wrestling supporters at the local and national level, including some of our alumni, have been advocating with government representatives requesting funding for wrestling. SUNY has told us that the designated funds will sustain the program for the foreseeable future. This is a positive outcome for the sport of wrestling, and will provide opportunities for Binghamton University student-athletes. Our goal is to build a program that is as good as – or better than – ever. I have asked our Athletic Director, Dr. Joel Thirer, to develop plans for reinstatement for the 2005-2006 season.

Mosaics are made by setting coloured pieces into "mortar" (cement) which sets hard and holds the pieces in place. Some mosaics are made of round pebbles, and have only two or three colors. Other mosaics are made of marble. Many mosaics, particularly in Italy, are made of terracotta tiles. (Terracotta is "fired" clay that has been baked in an oven.) Terracotta tiles come in many colors and can be used for colorful pictures as well as patterns. Some tiles look as if they are made of pure gold. These tiles are actually made of glass and have a very thin "leaf" of gold stuck to one side. The side with the gold gets put into the mortar.

How to install Glass Tile
Glass tile will last the lifetime of your home if it is installed properly, and if not cleaned with any abrasives, or used in a very high traffic floor area, or abused or installed improperly. Hire an experienced licensed tile contractor is the best advice we can offer, but if your a do-it-yourselfer and looking to install tile, below is an detailed installation guide that can help.
Facts about Tile
Glass Tile
No matter what the type, iridescent, matte or translucent, glass tile always brings a luster that wont go unnoticed. Many of our tiles are green glass, no not the green color, they are made from recycled glass. You can have a green tile bathroom that is actually blue in color! Although more difficult to cut than ceramic tiles some varieties can be scratched which is why glass tile is more often used for wall and backsplashes than floors. The best way to cut glass tile is with tile nippers, or very carefully and slowly with a diamond studded, commercial tile saw. Always wear safety goggles. Do not clean glass tile with abrasives.
Ceramic Tile/Porcelain Tile
As they are very durable, ceramic and porcelain tile are popular choices for kitchens and bathrooms. They are easy to clean, wont absorb water and are hypoallergenic. Porcelain tiles have more density and are fired at higher temperatures and therefore are more durable than ceramic tiles. Ceramic tiles clay body or bisque, it darker in color that porcelain and are most always glazed. Check the PEI rating of the tile, it should be either a 4 or s 5 for high traffic areas.
Stone Tile
Our stone tile collection consists of slate, travertine, marble and granite. The sheer and timeless beauty of these surfaces is undeniable, and we offer them at reasonable prices. There are different finishes, polished or glossy, to honed which is smooth and matte finish. We recommend that all stone tile be sealed annually.
Metal Tile
Our metal tile collection has some of the very newest and most modern varieties available anywhere. We also have them in mosaic patterns. Easy to clean and highly durable they are recommended for high traffic areas in bathrooms and kitchens.
Tile Design Options
Planning The Project
Surface Preparation
Before installing any type of tile, you need to prepare the surface on which it will go. It should be watertight and smooth. Paying attention to this phase of the project will increase the lifespan of the new tile. It will also make installation of the tile much more easy. Make sure the existing surface is clean, structurally sound, dry and free from all bond-inhibiting materials. Waxes, sealers, curing compounds, old adhesives, cutback, paint, dirt, grease and oil, are all bond-inhibiting materials and need to be removed or properly prepared before installing tile or stone finishes. In most cases its necessary to install and underlayment, backer board, also known as masonry board. This is also necessary for all tile installations where the tile will be getting wet such as in showers. We recommend the half inch thickness. It will help to provide an optimal and smooth surface to apply the tiles to. For floors, The subfloor must be sound enough to support tile. Tile can be heavy and must be installed on a flat, rigid surface. Subfloors under tile should be no less than 1 inch thick. A flexing floor will cause cracks to show up in the grout later and may cause tiles to break. If your floor bounces when you walk over it, try adding rigidity by re-nailing the subfloor to the floor joists. Add bridging between the joists, and/or shim the subfloor with wooden shims driven between the top edge of the joists and the bottom face of the subfloor.
Familiarize yourself with the different tile types, shapes and configurations for corners, edges, countertop copings, curved and specialty tiles for around fixtures, etc. and consider and plan for the specifics of the installation. For floors, there are two ways to plan a layout for floor tile. The first is to measure and start in the middle of the floor, snap a chalk line, and for reference, another perpendicular and then work outward. The second method is to align the tiles from a corner of the room of the most prominent wall at right angles to the doorway, and work from one side of the room to the other. Its best to measure and snap chalk lines Sometimes the walls of a room are not square to each other. Its best it identify this situation now to figure out how to minimize the possible poor aesthetics of having to cut the tile on a diagonal along the least prominent edge of the room

Instructions for setting a floor tile project
Step 1: Dry fitting the Tiles
Once the tile pattern and floor plan has established and the reference chalk lines are snapped onto the floor, dry-fit a row of tiles down both lines to the width and length of the room. Leave equal spacing for the grout joints by using the plastic tile spacers. By laying out the tiles in this way, you can get an idea of any adjustments that need to be made to your original reference lines. The goal is to work with as many full tiles as possible. Also, you should end up with at least half-a-tile width in the areas where the tiles meet the walls. A slight adjustment at the center point may save you lots of time and money. Adjust the reference lines as necessary to achieve a layout you're satisfied with.
Step 2: Cutting and fitting the tiles
Nearly every tiling job requires trimming tiles to fit around borders or obstructions such as window frames, electrical fixtures, pipes, basins, toilets or countertops. For small jobs, use a glass cutter or a simple tile cutter. Larger projects may warrant using a wet saw. Straight cuts are relatively simple. Shaping tiles to fit curves is more difficult and requires practice and patience. Apply even pressure when using tools designed to score, cut and drill tiles. Pressing too hard can cause tiles to crack and break. Drilling tile requires a special bit. To make cuts at a true right angle, use a combination square as your straightedge when scoring with a glass cutter. When using a glass cutter or tile cutter, score the tile in one stroke to achieve smooth and even breaks. Repeated scoring will cause the tile to chip or crack. Always wear safety glasses when working with tiles.
Step 3: Its time for the Thinset Mortar
Use a drill with mixer bit to mix thinset tile adhesive according to the manufacturer's instructions. The adhesive should be about the same consistency as toothpaste. Spread the thinset on the floor using a 1/4" x 1/4" square-notched trowel over an area of two to three tiles up to the marked lines on the floor (Image 1). Don't cover the lines or it will be difficult to keep the tiles lined up properly. Also, don't allow the thinset to begin to dry before applying the tiles. Thinset should be sticky to the touch If not, it is too dry and a new batch should be mixed.
Step 4: Setting the Tiles!
Set the first whole tile along the marks by slightly twisting it in place and pushing down hard on the tile. Fill in the corner tiles next. Use tile spacers to ensure even grout lines. After setting two or three tiles place a straight board that spans the tiles on top and gently tap it with a mallet to ensure the faces of tiles are all at the same height. Continue setting tiles, making sure to correctly place the tiles along the marks. Remove any thinset that oozes up between tiles. Allow the thinset to cure beneath the tiles according to the manufacturer's instructions. Do not walk on the tile until the thinset is cured. After the thinset has completely set, remove the tile spacers. Clean up any debris.
Step 5: Finishing up - mixing and applying the Grout
Mix the grout in small batches that can be applied in 20 minutes or so. Using a grout float, spread the grout over the tiles and holding the float at an angle force the grout into the grout lines. Use the float to clean most of the grout from the face of the tiles. As the grout on top of the tile dries and turns powdery, it can be sponged away. Use clean water in a bucket and a sponge to clean the tiles. Replace the water frequently to keep it clean for rinsing the sponge. Being careful not to disturb grouted areas. Use towels to buff away any grout film after sponging. The grout in the grout lines may not be dry at this point so be careful not to disturb it. Follow the recommended steps provided by the grout manufacturer to cure the grout. Some types of grout require that you dampen the grout over the course of several days so that it cures slowly, or apply the grout sealer as specified
Additional facts to know for wall tile installations
The techniques for installing wall tile is mostly the same as for installing floor tile except for a differences outlined here. If you are installing tile that will be wet like on a kitchen backsplash or shower wall a water barrier must be installed behind the wall tile. As previously stated, we suggest using masonry backer board. For wall you can use the 1/4 thickness. When applying the thinset mortar to the wall First apply mortar using the flat side of the trowel to promote substrate contact. Then, using the recommended notch at a 45-degree angle, spread the mortar uniformly in a ridged pattern. Continue applying mortar in a straight pattern. Using a level to make sure the tiles are straight and level, set the tile from the bottom first to the top by pressing the tile into the mortar with a slight twisting motion. To prevent any voids or air pockets under the tile, use a grout float or rubber mallet and carefully tap the top of each tile to ensure complete contact with the mortar. Grout the will using the same techniques as the floor tile
Final Details
Accessories and finish details must be chosen carefully and installed straight and true so the enhance, rather than distract from the overall effect. Towel bars, grab bars, soap dishes, toilet paper holders, etc., all need to be secured to the wall with screws. Use silicone caulk on the edges of sinks, tubs or where there will be running water nearby.

I picked the wrong degree... or did I?
11 years later, I am using the sys admin and consulting experience to push into my Info Sec career. I went back to the school's curriculum to see if they have added any security related classes and sadly they haven't. Then I took a look at the CS department and shocked to see that most of what I've been interested in over the last few years has been taught there. Granted I never really wanted to be a coder, so I figured why bother with CS? Anyway I've come a long way I think from my MIS roots and continue to enjoy diving further into the inner workings of the systems.
What am I getting at? I have no real idea. Am I a hacker? Maybe at heart I am, in its purest sense of the word. Did not going CS as a major hinder my newly found desire to break the systems so I can figure out how better to protect them? Maybe only slightly. I do believe that MIS did give me the soft skills that are desperately needed to further one's career. As far as CS goes, well my original major was Biology and I've always had a strong interest in Science, so what is really the difference in what I do now? The viruses I deal with now are just digital. They still cause havok on their target systems which are electronic rather than biological. In the end I think I am right where I wanted to be, just took a bit longer than some.
So advice to those out there who may be starting on the same path... College is a time to grow both professionally and emotionally. You will probably change your major at least once. Don't regret the decision, use it to better yourself. You will have plenty of time to gain the skills that will help grow your interests. Oh and don't believe the instructors, you will not be making 100K out the door ;-) Use that first job to build your experience and don't be afraid to take the grunt work jobs. Good luck!
