Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .

The Wisdom Chapter
Jamgön Mipham's Commentary on the Ninth Chapter of The Way of the BodhisattvaShāntideva's guide to the training of a Bodhisattva is one of the most important and beloved texts in the Tibetan tradition. The ninth chapter, however, dealing with Madhyamaka, the Middle Way, the most profound wisdom view of Mahayana Buddhism, has always posed unique challenges to readers. This commentary by the great scholar Mipham Rinpoche presents in quite straightforward terms Shāntideva's exposition of emptiness, the essential foundation of all Buddhist doctrine,… Read More

Entering the Way of the Great Vehicle
Dzogchen as the Culmination of the MahāyanāRongzom Chökyi Zangpo wrote this treatise in the eleventh century during the renaissance of Buddhism in Tibet that was spurred by the influx of new translations of Indian Buddhist texts, tantras, and esoteric transmissions from India. For political and religious reasons, adherents of the "new schools" of Tibetan Buddhism fostered by these new translations cast the older tradition of lineages and transmissions as impure and decadent. Rongzompa composed the work… Read More

text: Hey everyone, I did some searching and wasn't able to find any good info on cutting this panel. I decided to do a little write up, hope it can help someone. First I will give a little explaination as to why I went this route. I have a 1997 Tahoe 4x4 with 5.7 Vortec. I had just filled my tank up the morning that the pump went out, so the thought of siphoning nearly 30 gallons of fuel was not very enticing. Further complicating my situation is the fact that I don't really have anyone to count on for help in dropping the tank. So I arrived at the conclusion that a hole in the floor was the way to go. I picked up an air nibbler from harbor freight for about $25 on sale. I chose the nibbler because I wasn't really sure about how much clearance I had between the tank and floor of the truck. The nibbler requires very little depth, produces no sparks, cuts clean and quick, and it does not distort the metal. I started by flipping the rear driver's side seat forward and cutting the carpet right along the seat supports on both sides. Then folded the carpet forward, the front and rear carpets meet here, so I also cut the rear section and folded it back. Now with the floor pan exposed it was pretty easy to determine where the pump was. There is a raised square area in the floor. Next I carefully drilled a 1/2 inch hole in the floor pan at the front left corner of the raised area to insert the nibbler. There was only an inch and a half at best between tank and body so be cautious with the drill. I made the first cut from front to rear all the way back. Here I could pry it up a bit and see where I was. I decided to drill a second hole in the forward passenger side of the raised area because the nibbler isn't so good at 90 deg turns. I made the second cut from driver to passenger side, the ribs that are stamped into the floor were a bit of a pin to get over but not too bad. Third cut front to rear on pass side. Now just pull the panel back exposing the pump with plenty of space to work. At this point remove and reinstall pump according to mfr instructions (Thanks guys for the tips on getting the pump gasket to stay in place). After replacing the pump and wire harness as recomended, I bent the panel back down and sealed the seams with metal duct tape. I probably could have done something better but it works. Put the carpet back in place and there is no real trace that anything was done. All in all it should take about an hour for the whole job which is much more efficient than the alternative. Plus if it ever goes bad again it could be done on the roadside. Don't forget to change your filter as well. Pics left to right 1. Cutting the panel 2. Open and ready to remove old pump 3. In with the new 4. Closed and sealed.

Me, I'd go with the Sig. Mainly because I like the feel more. I'm not a fan of DAO though and would rather have the P6/225 so I could have SA/DA and a hammer I can get hold of.
Between the two you have listed I'd still have to go with Sig for the feel an the fact I've had better reliability from Sig Sauer.

New York, March 29, 2010—The Committee to Protect Journalists urges Honduran authorities to fully investigate last week's murders of two journalists, part of a month-long wave of lethal violence that has resulted in the slayings of five reporters over all and led to widespread self-censorship in the local media.
Do you believe the free flow of information must be protected? Sign the #RightToReport petition and demand that President Obama immediately:
1. Issue a presidential policy directive prohibiting the hacking and surveillance of journalists and media organizations.
2. Limit aggressive prosecutions that ensnare journalists and intimidate whistleblowers.
3. Prevent the harassment of journalists at the U.S. border.

Deschutes Forest OKs 40,000-acre treatment plan
Crescent District to see timber harvest, prescribed fires
CRESCENT, Ore. - The Deschutes National Forest plans to release a decision Tuesday outlining its plans on a vegetation management project for a 40,000-acre area of the Crescent Ranger District.
Two goals for the project are to provide for a representative diversity of wildlife habitats and forest stand structures on the landscape and to provide timber and other wood products to support local and regional economies.
A primary focus is to reduce tree density and provide more habitat for species like the white-headed woodpecker, which prefer open stand conditions. Reducing tree density across the landscape also will improve the forest's ability to resist disease and lessen the risk of intense wildfires now and into the future.
The decision allows commercial timber harvest on approximately 11,000 acres and prescribed fire activities on 13,500 acres within the 40,000 acre landscape.
"This decision provides the best balance of providing a variety of habitat across this landscape in the short and long-term while contributing wood products to the local economy," said Holly Jewkes, Crescent District ranger.
The project decision also addresses severely infected dwarf mistletoe stands, by applying a specific mistletoe treatment to 1,900 acres of forest stands.
Officials said the treatment will provide variable-size openings to create disease-free pockets, reducing the spread of mistletoe to other trees.
However, some mistletoe will be retained in the landscapes, as it provides habitat for some wildlife species such as goshawk, great grey owl and the American (pine) marten.
The decision on the Rim-Paunina Project follows a robust collaborative community discussion between a diverse group of stakeholders, which was convened and facilitated by the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council (COIC) as a third party facilitator for the project.
To review the decision, go to the Land and Resource Management and then Projects section of the Forest Service's Central Oregon website: www.fs.usda.gov/centraloregon .

CEH Online/Self-Study?
My CEH class by New Horizons has been cancelled twice due to "low enrollment" (I think I was the only one signed up). Because of that, I've had to drop the follow-up ECSA class (which I think would also have been cancelled since I was told I was the only person signed up).
I've read different blogs here and there, posts on this forum, posts elsewhere, and a whole bunch of information across the net that I could find about ECC and the CEH certification with some being good, some being bad.
After reading all of that, I still think the CEH would be beneficial to have and will gain more popularity. ECC has only been around since the end of 2003 and I think that's a big reason for a lot of the negativity towards them.
I'm wondering if anyone here that has taken the CEH and passed, would say that self-study is a reasonable option? I've read the v5 courseware, an exam prep book, and taken notes throughout as well as setup a virtual lab and gotten to know some of the key tools inside out. For the exam, if I pretty much stick to the guidelines listed here will that be good? Can anyone recommend another training center? I think Don had said he went through The Training Camp and enjoyed it. I'm trying to keep the expense on this to a minimum as I'm paying for it myself. NH cost me just under $5K for CEH/ECSA.
Thanks in advance


text: This year I have made up my mind to go absolutely treatment free. It is probably stupid of me to do this, but I'm tired of constantly treating my bees like a sick calf. If I have to treat my bees with so many chemicals all of the time then feed them hundreds of dollars in sugar because they weren't able to store enough nectar to survive the winter then I'm not cut out to be a beekeeper. I have 20 hives and what I come through the winter with will be what I build from next year. They will survive without treatment or die, but the bees I have, if any will be survivor bees. I do have 5 hives of feral bees and they seem much more hardy than my other bees. I have high hopes for them. I also have 4 hives that I bought as packages this spring from Wolf Creek Bees of Centerville, TN. and their bees are suppose to be treatment free. If I get through the winter with half (10 hives) my bees I'll be happy. Am I being stupid, or are there others that feel as I do?

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will provide more than $3.4 million to support 84 fish habitat projects in 38 states across the nation under the National Fish Habitat Action Plan (NFHAP). An additional $9.8 million in partner contributions, over $13.2 million in total, will go toward restoring and enhancing stream, lake and coastal habitat, as well as improving recreational fishing and helping endangered species.
The funding is provided for priority projects identified through seventeen Fish Habitat Partnerships established under the NFHAP. The partnerships strategically direct funding and other resources to habitat improvement projects offering the highest long-term conservation returns for aquatic species.
Aquatic ecosystems are especially vulnerable to changes in climate. Healthy habitats can help fish and other aquatic life to withstand flows and temperatures that have been altered due to climate change. Forty of the projects, supported by $2 million of Service funds, will improve stream flow, remove barriers or acquire scientific information needed for long-term protection against the effects of climate change.
"The Service is pleased to work side-by-side with our partners to improve habitat for fish. These projects represent the mutual priorities of broad locally-based partnerships," said Dan Ashe, Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
More than 40 percent of U.S. fish populations are currently considered declining, half of the waters in the U.S. are impaired, and fragmented conservation efforts are not reversing these declines. Besides climate change, principal factors contributing to these declines include: habitat destruction and fragmentation, toxic substances, invasive species, harmful algal blooms and altered thermal regimes.
By helping stem these declines NFHAP projects provide fishing opportunities for the public, and enhance economies and quality of life in local communities.
Highlights of this year's funding for NFHAP Partnership projects include:
For a complete listing of funded projects, please visit: www.fws.gov/fisheries/fwco/nfhap.
NFHAP is a national investment strategy to maximize the impact of conservation dollars on the ground. Under the plan, federal, state and privately-raised funds are the foundation for building regional partnerships that address the nation's biggest fish habitat issues. This comprehensive effort will treat the causes of fish habitat decline, not just the symptoms.
For more information about the National Fish Habitat Action Plan, its partnerships and programs please visit: www.fishhabitat.org
The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is working with others to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife, plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. We are both a leader and trusted partner in fish and wildlife conservation, known for our scientific excellence, stewardship of lands and natural resources, dedicated professionals and commitment to public service.

Well it is still rather cold her in Iowa and I haven't cut the branch down yet, but we have had a few warm days that should have had bees doing a cleansing flight and haven't seen any. They may have winter killed. I still need to take down that branch before it falls down but I can leave just below the entrance and the rest of the tree.

Tonight is Military Appreciation Night at Cowboy Stadium as McNeese kicks off its home football season against the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets are $10 for service members who show a military ID. The first 500 McNeese students will get a commemorative McNeese camouflage hat.
A special flyover by three Black Hawk helicopters will coincide with the band playing the national anthem.
Specialized military vehicles and tents with giveaways will be around the Doland Field House for visitors to see. Representatives from the military branches will be honorary captains for the coin toss, and military personnel will line the tunnel when the Cowboys run onto the field.
The Cowboy Corral will host a family tailgate party for each home game starting three hours before kickoff. It will include food vendors, a kid's fun zone and live bands. The Cowboy Corral is in Lot A near the Stream Alumni Center.
Keith Frank and the Soileau Zydeco Band will be the featured entertainment for the Sept. 7 home opener.
Cowboy Corral will be set up at noon Friday and will be blocked off for the three back-to-back home games.
The ticket office is open 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday and from 10 a.m. until the end of halftime on game days. The only areas of the field house that will be open to the public are the lobby and inside ticket area for "will call" tickets. Walk-up tickets will be sold at the outside windows.
All tickets will be scanned at the gates. Scanners will only accept valid game tickets. Students must have a student ID card and a game ticket to enter the stadium.
Cowboy Club members will be allowed to exit and re-enter at the club gate with a ticket and Cowboy Club ID card.
Parking lots near Cowboy Stadium will be closed beginning at 7 a.m. each home-game Saturday. Only vehicles with game-day parking or tailgate passes will be allowed to park near the stadium.
Drivers needing to drop off passengers at the Doland Field House should enter and exit from Common Street on Les Devall Boulevard.
Lot A parking passes are still available and can be purchased the day of the game.
Streets around Cowboy Stadium and the field house will be blocked beginning at 7 a.m. each home-game Saturday.
The stadium will open at 6 p.m. Sept. 7 due to the 7:30 p.m. start.
Alcohol, umbrellas, backpacks and bags larger than 10 by 14 by 12 inches will not be allowed in the stadium.
Smoking is not permitted in the seating area of the stadium and is allowed in designated smoking areas only.
The only free parking near the stadium is in Lot E on the east side of the stadium behind McNeese student parking and the student tailgate area. The entrance is off Louisiana Avenue.
The Cowgirl Kicker Cuties will perform during pregame festivities, and this year's Hall of Fame members and McNeese's 2013 Southland Conference regular season championship softball team will be recognized at halftime.

Very frustrating. My only recourse was to email iMore and I hope that works. I gave a 2 instead of 1 because hope springs eternal and I hope Jabra gets on the case.

For the love of science: PREP students find challenges, window to future
By Joe Michael Feist
Multimedia Editor, Office of Publications
(July 20, 2009)--Editor's note: This story is reprinted from Sombrilla magazine, Summer 2009.
It was the summer of 1983 and two students from different high schools in San Antonio had plans that would change their lives. Instead of serving burgers or hanging out at the mall, the two committed to academic pursuits, studying in UTSA's Prefreshman Engineering Program, or PREP.
Rod Cantu and Agueda "Aggie" Garza found a challenging academic environment and a window on their future. And in between math and science concepts, they found each other. As PREP celebrates its 30th anniversary, Rod and Aggie are settled into rewarding professional careers and are celebrating their 18th wedding anniversary. They are the parents of two children, both of whom are PREP participants.
Raul "Rudy" Reyna, executive director of the program for the past six years, says the purpose of PREP is and always has been to provide primarily minority and disadvantaged students with intense exposure to math and science through a series of seven-week summer sessions, now in a four-year sequence.
PREP was founded in 1979 by UTSA math Professor Manuel Berriozábal, who "had an incredible vision," Reyna says. "He saw that the demographics of the nation were changing and we had a large minority population that was emerging. And one of the things associated with that is a lot of the students in those areas did not have role models in engineering and science."
Originally geared to older students, PREP over the years has shifted to middle school. "For a lot of them, by the time they get to high school it's too late; you know they've already missed the window of opportunity," Reyna says.
So PREP participants get to high school already familiar with basic logic, algebraic structures, engineering, physics, statistics and possibly pre-calculus and trigonometry.
As important as the academics, Reyna says, is PREP's emphasis on mentors/role models. College students, most of whom are minority or female, serve as mentors and tutors. "And then we have a career component where every day the kids get to hear a professional -- an engineer, scientist, whatever -- who talks to them about what they do in their careers."
Today, PREP has been duplicated on 30 campuses in 14 cities throughout Texas and at sites in California, Colorado, New Mexico, New York and New Jersey.
Reyna proudly points to the accomplishments of PREP students who have attended prestigious universities nationwide and now populate career fields from medical to research science, engineering to space exploration.
For Rod Cantu, now a principal engineer at San Antonio's Southwest Research Institute, PREP "was instrumental from an awareness standpoint." The college environment and the curriculum "gave me the confidence that I could pursue a college career," he says. Cantu earned a bachelor's degree in industrial engineering from Texas A&M University and a master's, also in industrial engineering, from St. Mary's University in San Antonio.
Aggie Cantu says that PREP allowed her to meet "kids who were like myself. I realized I wasn't the only one who liked math and who had goals and objectives." Aggie received a degree in marketing from Texas A&M and now works for Woodrow Wilson Elementary School in San Antonio.
Encouraging their children to get into the PREP program "was a no-brainer for us," Rod says. "My wife and I are big proponents of the program. We value education, and this is a program aimed at minorities and helping them understand what's out there."
Their son Rodrigo has completed three years of PREP and will be a junior at Antonian College Preparatory High School in San Antonio. Daughter Alexandria is in her first summer of PREP classes and will be a seventh-grader at Mount Sacred Heart School this fall.
Aggie Cantu will always remember PREP not only for its academics but also for the motivated and centered students she met, one in particular. "Definitely, yes," she says, laughing. "If you want a good husband or a good wife, it's a great place to go."

text: When people talk about the greatest ever in the various figure skating disciplines it seems easier to pick someone in pairs, dance, and mens. Even if there isnt one dominant consensus pick there seems to be 2 or 3 which everyone picks one of them as their choice. However it seems with the ladies there is much more disagreement and it is harder to find a greatest ever. When you look at each they all have something that make it hard to crown them as the greatest ever: Henjie- pre historic skater who competed when competitive times and technical demands of ladies skating were nothing like now. Also when politics was at an all time high. Witt- she has the best modern day record but nobody really believes she was the best actual "skater" that ever existed. Many dont even believe she was the best skater of her own time, just the best competitor and most dominant. Lynn- some have called her the greatest ever since she was such an amazing skater despite a competitive record which is highlighted only by an Olympic bronze and World silver due to her struggles with figures and sometimes competitive nerve. Ito- some have also called her the greatest ever despite a competitive record also less than historic due to figures, politics in the days of figures, and bad luck in big events. Kwan- some have called her the greatest ever but her lack of the biggest prize in skating- the Olympic Gold, is a problem. Yamaguchi- was a dominant skater for a long time, but most of that in the pros, only 2 years as an amateur. Could have compiled a record that would make a stronger case as the greatest ever had she stayed in longer. Her skating doesnt really inspire in the way Kwan and others did which would inspire many to call her the greatest ever either. Yu Na Kim- not around long enough yet, nor enough titles. Asada- same as Kim. Slutskaya- despite a long and brilliant career with no Olympic gold and only 2 World titles is the clear 2nd fiddle to Kwan of her own generation. Her greatest strength was jumping yet she isnt even considered close the greatest jumper of all time, probably the greatest jumper of her own generation which had almost no great jumpers. So I think of all the 4 skating disciplines the womens is the hardest one to pick a greatest ever in.

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .

Glocks are great guns. For best results on your first range trip, make sure to give it a quick cleaning and lubrication prior to firing it for the first time (check the instruction manual under "cleaning" for details).
The subcompact Glocks are fairly amazing; they shoot almost as well as the full-size models, and in some cases actually seem to kick/bounce less than the larger guns! I know I ran several defensive-style courses of fire back-to-back with a G26 and a G19, and more than once my time with the G26 was significantly better, with the same solid hits from both guns. They'll never be contenders in Bullseye target shooting or a handgun beauty contest, but the baby Glocks are hard to beat for their intended purpose.

Quite on accident I stumbled upon photos from my blog which had been stolen. I was looking at the images in a Facebook album owned by a Salvadoran pride community only to see a photo that looked familiar – "Wait a minute," I thought, "that's my photo!"
I clicked to enlarge it and not only had it been used without permission, but my name and my blog were not mentioned at all. Looking through the album I found almost a dozen of my photos. Soon I would find my stolen photos in the Facebook photo albums of two other similar communities owned by people in El Salvador.
I accused one of the people of theft and left comments on every single one of my photos demanding that the photos be removed. This person removed the photos quickly and apologized saying the theft had been unintentional. (He claims that the photos were submitted to him and he didn't know where they had come from. I accepted his apology and moved on.)
In the second case it was a very large community and the guy who owned it had the nerve to watermark my photos with his name and even made comments on the photos as if he had taken them. Angry, I decided to take care of things through the Facebook complaint form for copyright violations. It was a little tedious, but Facebook acted within hours and removed the photos without me having to engage the owner of the page in conversation.
In the third case, I determined that the owner of the Facebook community was a female and decided, out of some sort of sympathy and sisterhood, to give her a chance to remove the photos herself instead of reporting her to Facebook. I told her that the photos were mine and that I was giving her one hour to remove them. If she failed to remove the photos, I would be forced to report the violation to Facebook.
She did not respond well to my ultimatum and began to insult me. I explained to her that I was being kind in giving her this chance and that others in my position could potentially take her to court. Her response?
"tu estas loca hija aqui no vengas con pendejadas saves q me vale berda lo q tu quieras hacer"
Wow. I was a little shocked but I composed myself long enough to reply:
"Qué es 'berda'? … La palabra es VERGA. Si vas a ser maleducada, por lo menos, aprenda a deletrear, cipota."
In the end, I reported the copyright violation to Facebook and Facebook removed the photos from her album, but I was left wondering about a lot of things. I related this whole story to Carlos and he seemed unimpressed. The look on his face said to me, "What did you expect?"
"People in El Salvador don't respect copyrights – you should know that," he said.
And he was right, I should know that. In El Salvador, pirated DVDs and CDs are sold out in the open. Stores in the mall carry knock-off T-shirts printed with every cartoon character and American rock band imaginable. My suegra, who's a seamstress, buys bags of clothing labels at the market – The clothing labels are for sewing onto the clothing she makes and sells. She sews in tags that say Polo Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, and Liz Claiborne.
And it isn't just individuals who do this – Even businesses in El Salvador get in on the action. I've mentioned before, that one day we were traveling back from Chalatenango to the city and we were starving. We saw a sign for Wendy's – exactly like the Wendy's sign you all know and love with the same red background, same white lettering, same instantly recognizable font. We go inside the Wendy's only to find out it's a little comedor selling bistec y arroz, quesadilla, and all kinds of Salvadoran food. No burgers and fries were to be found – this was not a real Wendy's.
I think that many (not all) people in El Salvador are so used to literally being surrounded by copyright violations on a daily basis that the concept of intellectual property becomes impossible to understand. In the minds of the people who stole my images, they feel they've done nothing wrong. When confronted by accusations of "theft", in their minds I was being irrational, selfish, crazy. After all, they didn't literally steal a physical object from me – I still have my photo, they just have it too. What's the big deal?
As I dealt with the copyright violations, Carlos told me more than once that I was wasting my time. "That's a losing battle," he said, "they'll do it again, and if not them, some other Salvadoran will." Although I wasn't able to be at peace with that for a few days, I do agree with him.
I want to be clear here – I don't believe this difference in ethics is due to American culture, American belief systems or Americans themselves being any way superior to Salvadoran culture, Salvadoran belief systems or Salvadorans themselves. I don't believe that Salvadorans are less moral, less civilized or less anything. What I do believe is that this difference in ethics is an example of ethical relativism in action – In other words, my "right and wrong" are not necessarily the same as your average Salvadoran's "right and wrong."
It's a controversial and complex philosophy, but it makes sense to me. What do you think? Are morals & ethics non-negotiable or are they dependent on one's culture? What differences have you observed in ethics across cultures?

Found this on another board, yes it is a joke.
"Took out my engine for a 383 rebuild and look what I found! Turns out I have a rare factory performance engine complete with drilled pistons for decreased weight and slotted block for extra cooling.
Close up of a cross drilled piston. Looks like GM left a little work to be done. A nice port and polish should clean all that mess up and improve flow as well...I think I'm going to send my new pistons in to Total Engine Airflow. They did good work on my heads, so I'm hoping that they can increase some air flow for the pistons as well to match the rest of my ported components. I'm going to make sure to use forged cross drilled pistons though because I've heard that the stock cross drilled ones aren't very stong and tend to produce minor stress cracks....you definately don't want cracks in your piston. The reason being because the air will build up in the cracks and lower your air flow and drag coefficient.
A nice shot of a deep dish piston....yummy! These deep dishes increase the cylinder volume for more horsepower. Pretty self-explanitory if you ask me.
Good shot of the slotted block. These precision slots create a ram-air type effect cooling the block internals.
Some people think that the slotted ram-air blocks were a GM gimick....I actually experienced negative (-) engine performance with this block...but I completely belive it's because my headers increased the under-the-hood temperatures. Therefore,..only hot air was entering the engine...thus actually heating the rods. And we all know hot metal expands. A longer rod length obviously means the stroke is shorter which cuts my displacement down. Through advanced calculations I've come to conclude that this decreased my displacement from 350 to 346. Know I know why my friend's 347 Mustang can beat me. I was actually in the process of fabbing some dyer ducting to run under my car to pick up some cool air. Remember to go under the car...if you go above the car you'll only grab hot air because hot air rises. But I decided instead of messing with all the logistics involved in that I'll just go with a 383....that way when my headers heat my rods I'll still have somewhere around 379ci... which is bigger than my friends 347...so I should win then.
Special GM coated racing runners. WARNING!!! If you happen to have these runners...DO NOT PORT THEM! By porting these runners you will remove the special coating inside which helps maintain good back pressure. This coating also helps to create air flow turbulance. Air flow turbulance is very powerful...no NOS needed there. For a perspecitve think of how powerful the turbulance is that can shake those heavy airplanes in the sky up and down. Now imagine that same power shaking your pistons up and down. I know what you are saying. Vortec heads use a similar pattern to make the incoming air vortex or twist into the clyinder. This harnesses the power of a tornado or cyclone. So you might be thinking that a vortec port would work best...but that's plain pure ole' . Let's put this into perpective for ya. A tornado only has enough power to lift something and throw it into the air. Once thrown into the air an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by another force. But air turbulance has the power to overcome the power produced by the flung torando objects because air turbulance can actually move objects that are already in the air. Let's see that vortec air do that! Let me tell you...with this coating, my engine reved like a motha! The astute reader will notice that one of my runners was ported. I did this and then I listened to my exhaust (with no headers on) afterwards. I had to retard the timing about 30 degrees to slow down the engine to where I could determine which clyinders were firing when. (Use a clear distributor car if you have one) The cylinders that had the turbulance coating were definately louder than the ported runners. And we all know louder=faster!
Notice that even the manifold has this coating. When I get my 383 I will definately look into getting my ported superram and base coated with this awesome material. I will post dyno results from desktop dyno. Also, notice the pool of coolant fluid. That is no accident my friends. There are special holes drilled in the manifold that let coolant puddle ontop of the manifold. This cools the manifold and lowers the temperature of the air going into the combustion chamber. Notice the clever desgn places the coolant puddle near the injectors too. This also cools them so that the gas temperature goes down. (The gas gets heated by the muffler and exhaust under the car. Trust me...hot gas is NOT what you want on a performance car, because more energy is required to burn cool gas than the gas that is already heated. For every reaction there is an opposite and equal reaction. So the more power that it takes to burn the gas, then the more power the gas will produce.) I have my Autometer gas temperature guage duct-taped to my A piller and have noticed a 1degree drop in temperature since I've had manifold drilled. Well worth the money, time, and effort IMHO. Remember every 1 degree is worth like 1hp. If you are making 1hp/ci then every 1 degree cooler the gas is is 1 more cubic inch your engine will increse (as long as you have ample hood clearance for the additional cubic inches. If this is a problem either cut holes in your hood or buy a plastic scoop of Ebay) With my new setup, I will actually be using an intercooler to further cool the radiator fluid....but I need to find a place to mount it. I will also add ice into the radiator and intercooler. Make sure to use crushed ice if you care about your water pump though. The ice normally would freeze the coolant, but as long as the liquid is constnatly moving, it should not freeze. So coolant temperatures below freezing should be attainable. This should drop my gasoline temperature about 6degrees. This is good because it makes up for the increased rod length from the header/ram air block setup. Here's an insider hint straight from the TPIS Insider Hints book.... After creating the coolant puddles on the manifold, heavy braking is recommended in order to constantly coat the entire manifold in this cool coolant. The coolant puddle is a good idea as long as you don't plan to flip your car...because you don't want coolant on the underside of your hood..."

Similar to 'reading day,' Bond University has a week off before final exams commence. Most of the study abroad students take this as a vacation because we haven't had any (official) days off this semester. Bond runs on a trimester system, so they don't have 'Spring Break' or anything. They get 3 weeks off between each semester. I've wanted to go to Melbourne for a while, especially to see little blue penguins in the wild. I went from Friday to Tuesday with my friend Becca. It was a pretty packed trip. When we got there on Friday, we explored the city, went into a bunch of free museums and watched a free comedy show. We got dinner with my friend Leah from my high school (and Northeastern) who is studying abroad a bit out of the city. It's so weird seeing people you know in a different country, definitely nice though!
On Saturday we did a Great Ocean Road tour. A lot of time was spent on the tour bus, the road is about 250km! (150 miles). I still haven't gotten used to these conversions. We stopped every once in a while for sight seeing and pictures. We also saw koalas in the wild. The tour was from 7am to about 9pm so it was a long day.
The next day, we went on a tour from 9am to 10pm. It was a wildlife tour, including stops at a wildlife sanctuary, several beautiful beaches, the fallen London Bridge, and last but not least, Phillip Island. The wildlife sanctuary had albino kangaroos which was very interesting! As for penguins, hundreds of little blue penguins reside on Phillip Island. At the New England Aquarium, where I did my first co-op with the penguins, we have little blue penguins as well.
Every night at Phillip Island, hundreds of penguins come out of the ocean to make their way back to their burrows after a long day of hunting and swimming. Seeing them in the wild was indescribable and it filled me with emotions. I was tearing up and it made me so incredibly happy! 13 out of the 18 species of penguins are currently endangered or vulnerable to endangerment. The little blues are not of those 13 species, but things can change very quickly, and it's hard to keep tabs on how many of them there are. They may be vulnerable to endangerment and we may not even know it. Penguins are very dear to my heart and I am extremely passionate about them, so seeing them in the wild was a dream come true.
On Monday, I spent the day at the Melbourne Zoo. My boss at the aquarium worked with the head of Communications at the zoo so I was able to get some behind the scenes action. I spent the day with the zookeepers of the Wild Sea Team. They take care of 24 little blue penguins, 2 pelicans, and currently 2 seals. They only take female seals that are too injured to go back into the wild, or that have been in rehabilitation too long to be able to adjust to life in the wild again. Another requirement is that their seals are ones that have been injured due to human causes. It really helps with education and sends a message about how detrimental humans have been to such amazing animals. They only take females because their exhibit is not large enough to be comfortable for the large males to live in.
My day at the zoo made me miss the penguins at the NEAq so much! As I am nearing the end of my study abroad, I am very sad to leave Australia. However, I am so lucky to have so many things to look forward to come back home to. My family, friends, coworkers, and school are all things that I am fortunate to have in my life and that will make coming home from this wonderful country a lot more bearable. Being this far away from home has been a challenge, as has being away from my friends at school that I have gotten so close to in the past few years. I am even looking forward to moving back into my apartment.
But enough of that, I will write a reflection about my experience when I get home. I have two finals coming up and I have a lot of studying to do for them. Anyways, Melbourne was amazing, and I'm thrilled that I got to do so much while I was there. Time to get studying, goodbye for now!

I think you are missing my point. Time series have some kind of
dependence structure, unless they happen to be white noise. Ignoring
that dependence won't make it disappear. Your various models all
appear to be implying that there is no dependence other than implied
by the panel structure, that is to say that prices at successive dates
for the same panel are mutually independent, which seems a very strong
assumption to me.
A tiny point of presentation, yet another covered in the FAQ. Left
ticks around command names such as `tsset` have no special effects on
Statalist; the convention recommended is exemplified by -tsset-.

This month the M.A.P. explores the world of communication. Communication comes in many forms - some verbal, some nonverbal. This month we are investigating nonverbal communication - specifically body language.
There is a recent stat out that up to 93% of our message is conveyed through nonverbal behavior? That is quite a lot when you think about it in terms of 1) how many words we must waste or 2) just how powerful and long lasting our actions (whether we know we are doing them or not) are!
In each section (parents, coaches, players) we take a different look at body language and the impact that it has - not only on other people but also on ourselves! Please click through and explore the various ideas and suggestions. As always if anyone has questions please feel free to contact Rush M.A.P. Director Lee Hancock. Enjoy.
Rush Soccer would love to see pictures of our players and coaches in their new adidas/Chevy gear.

It used to be that if you wanted a multi-tool — an oscillating sander/cutter — you had to buy one of Fein's MultiMasters. That changed late last year when Bosch and Rockwell introduced (respectively) the PS50-2B and the SoniCrafter.
Having owned a MultiMaster for several years, I was curious to see if these new, less expensive versions were worth the money. The issue goes beyond the cost of the tool itself; with the MultiMaster, buying and replacing attachments can get pricey. For this article I tested both companies' top-of-the-line kits. Here's what I learned during the several months I used them on job sites.
Bosch PS50-2B
Weight (by mfr.): 2.2 pounds
Power: 12-volt lithium-ion batteries; variable speed
Street price*: $220
Includes tool, two batteries, charger, case, and eight blades and sanding pads
* least expensive kit costs $185
Bosch Tools
Rockwelll SoniCrafter
Weight (by mfr.): 2.8 pounds
Power: 2.3 amps; variable speed
Street price*: $180
Includes tool, plastic case, 60 sheets of sandpaper, and 12 blades and sanding pads
* least expensive kit costs $120
Bosch PS50-2B
In addition to the PS50 cordless multi-tool, the PS50-2B 12V Max Multi-X Carpenter kit contains a 30-minute charger, two batteries, some blades and sanding accessories, and a case. The tool itself is based on Bosch's new 12-volt lithium-ion battery platform, and it's significantly lighter than corded models. Its weight and slim grip make it very comfortable to use.
Fully charged, the PS50 felt as powerful as the other tool I tested, the Rockwell — but not as powerful as my older Fein. A woodworker friend of mine timed how long it took to drain the PS50's batteries while sanding hardwood. He got about 16 minutes of continuous sanding per charge. That's pretty good, though I'm sure the number would be less for cutting and scraping.
I mostly used the PS50 for intermittent tasks — which is what cordless tools are best for. I found it useful for trimming jambs, cutting holes in drywall, and other light-duty cutting chores. Used this way, the Bosch can go all day on a single charge. For heavy cutting and continuous-duty tasks, though, I much prefer a corded model. (Incidentally, the PS50 is not the only cordless multi-tool around. Fein makes one too, but it costs close to $400 — more than I can see spending simply to get rid of the cord.)
With early multi-tools, blades had a tendency to slip because they were held in place by friction. Fein solved this problem by switching to a star-shaped hole that mates with a raised area on the mounting plate. Bosch did something similar: It surrounded the hole for the attachment bolt with a series of smaller holes. The small holes fit over indexing pins on the tool so when the bolt is tightened down the blade can't slip. It's a nice system and works very well.
Bosch's blades last almost as long as similar blades from Fein and cost about the same. The company makes a good but limited selection of blades for the multi-tool. Unfortunately, few retailers stock them, so you need to plan ahead and order them by mail.
The kit that I tested includes an adapter that allows Fein blades to be installed on Bosch tools. However, it's not quite a one-for-one swap, as the adaptor relies on friction to keep the blade from slipping. Fein's grout blades and rasps should not be used on the Bosch. Although they fit, the adapter wears into their soft aluminum plates to the point where they slip so badly they no longer work.
Rockwell SoniCrafter
If the Rockwell name sounds familiar, it's because long ago Porter-Cable was called Rockwell. Several years back Porter-Cable sold the name and the company is now owned by Positec, a Chinese manufacturer that also makes Worx brand tools.
The first SoniCrafter I received had a nonfunctioning switch, but the replacement the company sent worked fine. The tool is heavier and bigger around than the Bosch, so it's not as comfortable to hold onto. And though it has good power, it doesn't feel as powerful as a MultiMaster. The blades have a 12-sided hole that fits over a six-sided post on the tool. As with the Bosch, an Allen wrench is required for tightening the bolt that retains the blade.
A major selling point of this tool is all the accessories that come with it. The kit I tested had 72 — 60 of which were sheets of sandpaper. Rockwell makes a good assortment of accessories but I found their quality mixed. The carbide-grit grout blades and rasps work very well, but the sawing blades get dull much faster than Bosch's or Fein's.
Bosch and Fein blades will not fit on the SoniCrafter, but you can get aftermarket blades for the tool from multiblades.com. The SoniCrafter blades can be used on current-model MultiMasters and older models with the Fein adapter — but I can't imagine wanting to do this, because the Fein blades are so much better.
The Bottom Line
The PS50 offers the convenience of cordless operation and is a good tool for intermittent use. It's a true professional-grade model — but I still prefer corded models.
The SoniCrafter is a pretty good tool, too, but it's not as powerful as a MultiMaster and its blades are nowhere near as good. It would be a reasonable choice for someone on a tight budget who doesn't plan to use it all the time.
Personally, however, I'd hold out until I could afford a MultiMaster.

Michael McDonald (born February 12, 1952, in St. Louis, Missouri) is an American R&B/soul singer (sometimes described as a "blue-eyed soul" singer), known for his trademark husky baritone voice. McDonald played in several local bands (such as Mike and the Majestics, Jerry Jay and the Sheratons, the Reebtoors, and The Guild) while attending McCluer High School in his hometown of Ferguson, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis. He was 'discovered' while playing with a group called Blue and consequently moved to Los Angeles in 1970. Read more on Last.fm more

What Makes TexMed Worth Your Investment?
Why Texas Physicians Attend
TexMed is the largest gathering of TMA physicians in the state. It offers 100+ hours of free clinical and business CME, a lively exhibit hall with 100+ exhibits, and the opportunity to network with colleagues from all over Texas.

text: Anyone else ever hear someone complaining about the gas mileage in trucks, especially full sizes? Well one thing that has always made me shake my head when I hear comments like that is this: Trucks are designed for towing and hauling various load capacities depending on its build (1500, 2500, 3500, etc.). They are not Honda Civics! So of course the gas mileage won't be that great. The shapes aren't always aerodynamic due to the fact the design has to allow for a trucks functionality. It needs to be off the ground if it's four wheel drive! Maybe I'm over thinking this... However, due to recent technological improvements, trucks are getting better fuel economy. Thanks to things like more gears in transmissions, displacement on demand, downsizing engines and equipping them with turbochargers. What do you guys and gals think? Justified complaints from others or do you see my point? Or maybe both sides?

Now wait a minute
The guy has probably won more games than any other HC in the NFL over the last 14 years, beaten us 7 out of the last 8 tries (we being the World Champs) and he has an athletic QB with a 10 cent head (kind of a Kerry Collins senario)
Tough crowd over there.
I guess 14 yrs without a ring is discouraging though.
I think we would be doing the Eagles fans a big favor tonight by putting another nail in Andy's coffin tonight........they want a fresh start over there.
Andy's always been good with Player selection (Vick disculded) and knows when a players lost it........maybe they should make Andy GM and hire a younger HC

st: re: moving averages in panel data
Mon, 21 Dec 2009 21:44:47 -0500
Darian said
Thanks. Although 'tssmooth ma' doesn't seem to work because my data is not time-series data. In fact, it's not even panel data. It's product by country by year. So each year in each country has multiple observations due to the different products. That means that 'tsset year' or 'tsset year country' doesn't work, which makes tssmooth not work either.
Help with either moving averages or tips on working with this two-cross-sections-and-time data would be appreciated (without reshaping).
You can form a panel where the unit is the country-product, e.g. kiwi fruit exported by NZ. For that you have a time series. Use egen group() function to form a counter for each combination of country and product, and use that as the panel id variable. Then all time series functions will work properly.

Very Good!
We enjoyed our Stay in Lore y Julians flat so much. The room was perfect to see Barcelona and its very close to the metro too. The room is dark, but its ok for just sleeping.
Thank you!
Everything was OK!
We had great stay at appartement. Room was small and no window but comfortable. it was bit difficult to get fresh air. But it was good stay for couple of days in Barcelona! By walk it takes around twenty minutes from the city centre and beach. The nearest Metro Station is only five to seven minutes by walk. Julian was really friendly and he guide us in our trip.
Thank you for the great stay!
We had great stay at Lore y Julian's appartement. Although the room is really small it is comfortable. Everything is kept clean. The onlay disadvantage of the room is the fact, that there's just a window which leads to the inner yard, so it's a bit difficult to get fresh air. But it's perfect for a stay of a couple of days in Barcelona!
By feet it is about twenty minutes from the city centre, less if you use the public traffic. The next Metro Station is just five minutes by walk away, so you can easily reach any place.
Lore y Julian are both really friendly and will give you support by planning your trip. We felt really welcomed. Thank you for the great stay!
We had a great stay with Lore and Julian. They we very friendly when we first got there and made us feel like we were at home. They kept out of our way after that, letting us have our space but certainly were available if we had questions. I would definitely recommend the room, because although it is small, it is big enough for a vacation and you will feel very comfortable here!
The location is great, pretty close to the main station (Sants). It is easy to get to the touristy area if you are willing to walk!
We had a great time at Lore i Julian. The apartment is really cozy and furnished with style. The room, despite the fact that is small and doesn't have any window outside, is really confortable and it's exacly what you need after a walk through Barcelona. We would recommend the apartment of Lore and Julian.
We really enjoyed our stay in Barcelona. Lore and Julian were really nice to us and even provided extra information about how to move around, tours, etc. The room is small but comfortable and perfect if you are planning to enjoy more of your time in the city. The rest of the facilities (kitchen, living room, etc.) are also at your disposal. Even though the bathroom was shared, we didn't have any troubles with that. The location was perfect, close to metro and bus stations and near the city center.
Great place to stay in Barcelona in area really close to the main city center and all attractions! The owner is extremely nice and helpful. We spent a wonderful time and rested as we wanted. Place to spend time is perfect and I would like to everyone boldly recommend you. Barcelona is great! Thank you for the warm welcome Loren us under your roof. Best Regards with big wishes ! :)
Accomodation was fine, host friendly and helpfull. Location was fairly close to the metro station which was nice.

Revised February 2009
25. Wisconsin—Milwaukee Parental Choice Program
Program type: Scholarships for students from low-income families in Milwaukee
Description: The Milwaukee Parental Choice Program (MPCP) provides state aid payments to students for attendance at participating private schools in Milwaukee. To be eligible, students must be from families who reside in Milwaukee and whose household income does not exceed 175 percent of the federal poverty level. A student participating in the program, and whose family income increases, may remain in the program until the family's income exceeds 220 percent of the federal poverty level. The maximum participation is 22,500 students.
Applications for scholarships are submitted directly to participating schools. If a participating school receives more applications in any year than it has seats available, selection of recipients follows a lottery method. Siblings of current scholarship recipients have priority in receiving new scholarships.
With respect to participating private schools, the law requires schools to be accredited from among a list of accrediting agencies and to administer nationally normed standardized tests to scholarship recipients in grades 4, 8, and 10. Participating schools may not require a recipient to participate in religious activities.
Amount of assistance: For the 2007-08 school year, the scholarship amount is the participating private school's per-pupil expenditure or $6,501, whichever is less. Participating schools must accept the scholarship amount as full payment of tuition.
Number of participants: In the 2007-08 school year, 18,882 students received scholarships to attend 120 participating private schools.
Authorizing statute: Wisconsin Statute §119.23
Legislative history: The Milwaukee Parental Choice Program was signed into law in 1990. In 1995, it was expanded to include religious schools. In 2006, the law was changed to increase the number of students who may participate in the program, by increasing the income limit from 175 percent to 220 percent over the federal poverty level and by eliminating the prior-year attendance requirements (allowing students who move into the district to be eligible).
Judicial history: In June 1998, the Wisconsin Supreme Court affirmed the constitutionality of the program in Jackson v. Benson. In November 1998, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the case.

Hef's Movie Notes: Sons of the Desert
Hugh Hefner introduces the Laurel and Hardy comedy classic.
Tonight: Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy in the hilarious Sons of the Desert.
Based on the comedy team's silent two-reeler We Fall Down, the story involves Laurel and Hardy's trip to a convention of the Sons of the Desert in Chicago.
Hal Roach, who first put the pair together in 1926, produced the film; Frank Craven, who also co-wrote the screenplay and appeared as the narrator in Our Town, wrote the script in summer 1933. William Seiter, a former Keystone Kop, directed the film. He also directed Astaire–Rogers in Roberta and the Marx Brothers in Room Service.
The original working title was Fraternally Yours. And it was released in Britain with that title.
The film was shot in October. The first preview was November 10. And it went into national release right after Christmas, on December 27, 1933.
Unlike most feature films, scenes in Sons of the Desert were shot in chronological order, permitting more spontaneous improvisation. (Almost all Roach films were shot that way.)
Dorothy Christie played Laurel's domineering, gun-toting wife in a role originally planned for Patsy Kelly.
Patsy was unavailable because she was on loan to MGM for the Bing Crosby musical Going Hollywood, which was running over budget.
Sons of the Desert was intended, in part, as a parody of the famous "lost" (because it was suppressed), risqué pre-Code Warner Bros. film titled Convention City, made with Dick Powell and Joan Blondell earlier that same year.
The film proved to be one of Laurel and Hardy's most successful endeavors—both critically and commercially.
It was one of the top 10 grossing films of 1934, according to both the Motion Picture Herald and Film Daily.
Hardy was married to his second of three wives when this feature was made. Laurel divorced his first wife (not counting his common-law wife, who later sued him for palimony) during production.
In all, Laurel married four women in eight marriages. He once told UPI, "You know what my hobby was, and I married them all."
Knowing Laurel's marital history helps us truly appreciate Sons of the Desert.
In 1958, John McCabie, chairman of the Theatre Arts Department at NYU, conceived the idea of a society intended to promote the spirit and genius of Laurel and Hardy. It was also intended as a satire of other fraternal organizations.
So this now-international organization took its name from the Laurel and Hardy film about fraternal organizations, Sons of the Desert.
Laurel gave the organization his official approval before he died in 1965. He said the society should have "a half-assed dignity about it." And he suggested a motto—to be displayed along with a pair of derbies—that read: "Two minds without a single thought."
This became the official motto of the society written, appropriately enough, in Latin.
Laurel had originally suggested the group call itself Boobs in the Woods, another famous Laurel and Hardy film, but by the 1960s, "boobs" had acquired a new and different meaning than Laurel had intended.
Because tonight's feature is a short one, we're going to begin with a silent two-reeler: Harold Lloyd in Get Out and Get Under. And then Laurel and Hardy in Sons of the Desert.
