May 6, 2013 at 4:55 pm #1302631
I want to do a Hut to Hut traverse in the White Mountains, NH; it weighs in at about 50 miles with 16,000-17,000 feet of gain ( and about the same amount of loss) and wanted to get some input from anyone who'd like to chime in. The idea is to finish in less than 24 hours. At this point my goal is basically to finish in one push and the time is a distant second, i.e. I would consider finishing in 26 hours an unqualified success.
Part of me thinks it is preposterous (who are you kidding, you can't cover that kind of ground in one go) and another part thinks that just maybe I can. Who knows, right? In any event, it has captured my imagination and I want to give it a shot.
Me: avid hiker and that is about it, not a serious athlete. I have been building up the milage this spring with dayhikes in the mid 20 miles and up. Last weekend was 36 miles with a bit less than 10,000 feet of gain in 14.5 hours. I felt pretty good and had an overall fatigue the next day but no soreness worth mentioning.
So if you were me and the hut traverse was at the end of June, what would you be doing until then? I am going to revisit the circuit of NE tough dayhikes: Catkills Devils Path, ADK Great Range, Presi and Pemi Loop in NH over the next few weeks. Aside from getting in one tough dayhike a week I have no other plan.
What about food? Thus far I have eaten real food: chicken salad sandwiches, bananas, gorp, pretzels and various bars. Mostly water, some gatorade type stuff. Would you recommend sticking with the same or should I experiment with switching over to ultra runner gels and such for some of my calorie needs. At what point does the "technology food" become advantageous? Aside from cramping, I haven't had any chemical imbalance/insufficiency type woes yet but I understand that I am exponentially more likely to have to deal with this as the miles get over a certain point.
So, yeah…all input welcome!May 6, 2013 at 7:57 pm #1983937

1) Drop the idea of a time to complete the route and concentrate on just maintaining a pace you can sustain for the distance. Then come back and do it for time on a second effort. You'll have a much better idea of what it takes, how to train, how to fuel, and you'll probably enjoy the hike a lot more than if you put yourself under the gun by thinking of a specific time goal.
2) Experiment with gels and powders over your next few training hikes. They provide
readily available energy with very little impact on your digestive system. If
you feel the need for solid food, consider simple foods that do not require a
lot of digesting. A very popular ultra marathoner food is boiled potatoes.
They are a source of rapidly available carbs and are unlikely to cause
stomach upset. Taken with a little salt, think Mortons Lite Salt which provides
both sodium and potassium, they are downright tasty and provide that satisfying
feeling of having eaten "real" food. Soda crackers, low fat baked potato chips,
even bread are also good alternatives. These are all relatively low calorie
sources of energy but, in combination with your stored body fat, should be more
than enough to last you 50 hilly miles.
3) Pay attention to electrolyte replacement, as you will be losing considerable sodium and potassium in particular over the course of an effort like the one you are contemplating. IMO, the most straightforward way to accomplish this is to add ~ 1/4 tsp of Mortons Lite Salt to each liter of water. It supplies ~270 mg of sodium and ~350 mg of potassium. If you feel the need, you could also take a couple of calcium-magnesium tablets along as well to take midway thru your hike, but probably not necessary. Another nice arrow to have in your quiver is a few anti cramping pills/tablets. One good naturopathic brand is Hylands Leg Cramps. I have used them with good results both prophylactically in situations where I know I will be in for trouble, and also after the fact to calm things down.
4) Go out there and have a great time! Best of luck.May 6, 2013 at 9:08 pm #1983951
here are a few trip reports from folks who have done it
http://adamiata.blogspot.com/2013/03/winter-hut-traverse-in-day-0392013.html possibly the only winter completion.. he also has his summer "daylight" TR back in June if you look
http://dailey7779.blogspot.com/2012/06/24-hour-hut-to-hut-traverse.html summer with lots of detail.
you could also email Adam or Tim Seaver who have some major experience with that route.
i use gels for cycling a lot and they are great for quick boosts in between real food. definitely try a few different kinds beforehand.. i like Hammer Nutrition's and GU in certain flavorsMay 6, 2013 at 9:44 pm #1983962

@creachenLocale: East Bay
Last Saturday I hiked to Mt. Diablo in the East Bay about 24 miles round trip in 8 hours. My prep was going to sleep early Friday night about 9:00pm and got up at 5:30am and started hiking by 6:00–I had a high carb dinner(pizza) and drank a 32oz Gatorade and cookies. On the hike I had 5 HR Energy, GU, GU H2O Powder, Snicker Bars, Bananas, Mike & Ikes, Jerky, Strawberries and PB & Jelly Sandwich. I never really stop that much but took a 30 minute brake at the summit and then came back. I am big believer in Gu Electrolytes plus really hydrating the night before the day hike and especially if you going to Hi elevations. I got home around 2:30 in the afternoon and was tired. It was warm to hot at times. My feet were soar so I iced them few times in the afternoon with some adult beverages. A good nights rest is probably the most important thing you can do for preparation IMHO. Rest than Attack the Day!!!! plus burn Calories.May 7, 2013 at 8:16 am #1984053

I wouldnt use gels as your primary food source if you havent been using them extensively. I would bring one or two though if you really need more energy for a big climb. At easy hiking paces (3mph) I find I can digest food well so I dont need gels.
As for training I would keep doing hikes in the 30 to 35 range or if possible a shorter hike with the same total elevation as your 50 miler. I would bet you could do it now based on your 35 mie day not totally destroying youMay 7, 2013 at 8:36 am #1984060

hiking 50 miles in 24 hours is not at all preposterous.
in the ultrarunning world it is done all the time.
the biggest aspect of your goal is the 17,000 ft of gain.
I would recommend focusing your training on doing a lot of elevation gain first and mileage second. In ultrarunning its basically focusing on time on your feet rather than miles on your feet. Flat miles are easy, climbing miles … not so much.
As far as food, I agree with Greg that a gel based diet may not be the best for your goal. But everyone is different. You need to experiment to find out how your body reacts to solid food v.s. how it reacts to liquid food on such a long day. Whether you go solid or liquid, you definitely want some fats and protein in your food consumption.May 7, 2013 at 9:21 am #1984079
Lol… not to knock the mt diablo hike but it doesn't look anything close to the Hut to Hut traverse… 15mi with 4000' of probably western graded trail is a drop in the bucket compared to 50mi with 17k white mountains "hey lets go straight up this" type trail.
(gps track from Adam's site)May 7, 2013 at 4:00 pm #1984197
Thanks for the ideas so far, everyone!
I will check out the Mortons salt and cramp pills. Cramping does concern me.
What I am leaning towards is continue eating in much the same fashion while playing around with different gels. This is probably one of those "it is going to be a bit different for each person" type things. I would prefer to eat food food as long as I am able to digest it. I will definitely check out the purpetuem; that keeps popping up when I poke around.
Thanks for the links and thanks (I think) for the elevation profile. That thing is intimidating!
I agree that the elevation gain is going to be the kicker here and that my prep should account for that. It will require some creative map-lookin' to put together big numbers in that area with driving too far. I have sussed out a loop for this Saturday that will be 32ish miles with about 9k in gain.May 8, 2013 at 11:00 am #1984430

@narratorLocale: The front range
Energy gels are great for ultra-running, as they provide the lightest possible nutritional support.
To do this, they start with sugar. Sugar is the fuel your body runs on, and specifically, the sugar "glucose". As you exercise, your body uses up its ready supply of glucose, and starts burning other things for fuel. It breaks down fat (hurray!) and also muscle (doh!) and starts to use these breakdown products instead of sugar.
Just eating glucose isn't practical for ultra-running. One would have to constantly consume small amounts of glucose to prevent big spikes and troughs in available blood glucose (sugar rush, then crash).
To even this out, energy gels use starch. A chain any simple sugars is called a starch. A starch of only glucose sugars is called "maltodextrin," and that is what is found in energy gels.
One's intestine breaks down starches slowly (simple glucose may be absorbed directly through the stomach into the blood, most of it doesn't even make it to the intestine). This results in blood sugar going up in a more moderate and sustained way as maltodextrin is broken down into glucose, and absorbed.
Energy gels combine maltodextrin with a simple sugar called "fructose," which is very similar to glucose. Fructose is added because it tastes sweet and also because your intestine absorbs a mix of sugars better than a single form. You will be familiar with a sugar made from the combination of one glucose and one fructose, it's a sugar called "sucrose," the one we extract from sugar cane and put in our coffee.
For ultra runners who need to replace energy but don't want to be slowed down to eat, this formulation of maltodextrin (glucose starch) and fructose makes a lot of sense. They can easily get a mouth full of energy and keep running. But it's not health food. It's a mouth full of starchy candy syrup.
This starchy candy syrup is fortified with: some electrolytes lost in sweat (sodium and potassium), along some amino acids (the break down products of protein), and some anti-oxidants (like vitamin C) because endurance exercise creates lots of free radicals, which anti-oxidants stabilize.
This would be great if you were trying to run an Iron-Man, where seconds lost eating count. But you're trying to hike for a day straight, covering 50 miles. For that, what you are eating: mainly starchs (pretzels, banana, granola bars, etc.) with some fat and some protein (chicken salad sandwich) is perfect (as long as the mayonnaise doesn't spoil and make you sick). Keeping some jelly belly beans (being almost entirely sucrose and glucose) handy sucking on them one at a time would work just as well for you as an energy gel.
I'm not certain how many calories you are going to burn in this endeavor. The Leadville 100 mile ultra race calculates competitors will burn 12,000 calories covering twice this distance in half the time. Those competitors are moving faster, but carrying almost nothing for a supported race, so it seems calling those factors a wash and cutting their number in half is a reasonable estimate. That means you want to consume about 6,000 calories, and up to 2,000 of that can be basically junk food: candy, chocolate, pretzels… Why not enjoy it rather than choking down an energy gel.
I do use endurolyte tablets when I run longer than 5K. And they may be helpful for you in this effort. Endurolytes include the full range of electrolytes lost in sweat, rather than just sodium and potassium like most energy gels.
A multivitamin before, in the middle, and at the end might also be useful.
For your water requirements in this endeavor, your goal should be to start well hydrated, and finish at the same weight as you started. If you weigh more at the end, you may have consumed too much water, and if you way less you have consumed too little. Try bringing a bathroom scale with you on your Saturday prep to see where you are before and after.
For more research, I'd recommend you read articles and advise on the Leadville 100, taking the considerable amount that is written on training for and running that race as good advice for your own plan. Not just on nutrition, but also how to pace the course for the best time, etc.
Finally: Good on you! This sounds like a great idea for an adventure course. Please let us know what worked for you and what didn't. I'll never run Leadville, but I can see myself trying and something like this.May 8, 2013 at 11:50 am #1984453

Come join me this weekend for a hike from Manchester Center to Cheshire MA. I will be doing a bit over 40 on Saturday. Now I'm going to head a bit differently than previous posts. You are making too big of jump from your level to a 50 mile day with that elevation. You risk injury. How do I know this? I jumped from 42 up to 57 and it darn near put me out of commission. Put off your trip until you have some solid 40 milers in then take it on. The same training ripples of +10% max should also apply here. Second, listen to Tom. I did and it changed my entire hiking strategy. Want more check out this. http://postholer.com/journal/viewJournal.php?sid=c9cffd1a1623ccf04cf1ce3a1dadbee6&entry_id=20018. It has much of what you are looking for. If you look you are attempting pretty much the same type of hike as my final training hike.
As far as food, you need to trial all of this prior to you big event. I could do this event eating chocolate covered donuts. I know this because I did long hike trialing this concept. Everyone needs to find their sweet spot. Good luckMay 8, 2013 at 12:53 pm #1984480

@violentgreenLocale: Southeast
My advice – listen to Tom and Malto. I used to struggle with fueling on long, grueling hikes until I read their multitude of advice. Use their experience(important) to help build upon your own experience(most important). Once you creep above ~30 miles of mountainous terrain, fueling is a huge factor & you need to experiment to see what your body likes.

" I could do this event eating chocolate covered donuts. "
I sure wish I knew that years ago.
just the ultra diet I've been waiting for.May 8, 2013 at 4:40 pm #1984579
Wrong subject line, man! No apologies needed there. Awesome post making complicated stuff easily, um, digestible. Thank you very much for taking the time to write that out; I very much appreciate it.
Thank you for the invite; unfortunately, I have a commitment on Sunday here in NJ. I hiked the LT in '10, loved it all, and haven't gotten back to VT as much as I would like.
Your journal will be a great resource. I just took a quick look through the beginning and will definitely be going back to read through slowly and make some notes. Thank you for pointing me there.May 8, 2013 at 5:17 pm #1984596
Hiking MaltoBPL Member
I only had a few minutes on my prior reply. Here's a bit more.
1) between now and then try getting some 40-45 milers in. Ideally you would be pushing a 50 miler on easier terrain just to get a feel for hiking that length of time.
2) Target the summer solstice. You will need the daylight hours. You are picking one of the toughest 50 miles that I know. You will need the daylight because you may find your pace REALLY slows with a combination of tired legs, rough terrain, darkness and less than obvious trail. It gets mentally very challenging.
3) have a couple of your hikes extend into the dark. You will need to be very comfortable hiking in the dark.
4) electrolytes have been covered. Great information above.
5) fueling. Very individual but here is my food strategy for this weekend. 73 miles in pretty much a day and a half. Concentrate on carbs, that's what your body burns. I weigh fully loaded about 200lbs and target about 100 calories almost exclusively carbs per mile. Since I will have an overnight I am also including an end of day meal (two packets of spam, little Debbie's brownie and about 400 calories of Maltodextrin mix. The 7300 calories will include 4000 calories of Malto, 1000 calories of assorted chips, 1000 calories of Little Debbie's brownies , 900 calories in Poptarts and 400 calories of Candy bars. I have found that I need a variety of sweet and salty and the chips provide this. I generally will alternate 1 hr of Malto then 1 hour of "real" food. I also metering the Malto about 150 calories at a time in most cases. I have never seen the sugar spikes that others talk about because I meter the food all day long.
6) other things to get nailed down. Blisters, chafing, water consumption etc. everything becomes more critical as the intensity increases. Hopefully some of your hikes have found and corrected some of these issues.
7) on your training hikes look to maintain a very consistent speed. For me that is 3mph. I use to watch how many hours I was able to maintain this. Eventually it became all day. This was accomplished by cutting almost all breaks, eating on the move and increasing my pace. My pack was optimized to allow this with everything that I need for the day in my hip belt pockets. You might be surprised how much time is spent on short breaks. (I have not gone to skurka extreme and urinate on the move. I'm not coordinated enough and would make a mess of my shoes.)
Finally, this is an incredibly aggressive trip. If you do succeed in this you may have the same feeling as I did after my 57 mile Georgia Loop, never again. Because of the distance and elevation gain there are few trips to top that which is good. I no longer am in pursuit of that single day hiking record. I find this to be a relief because I am less likely to do overly aggressive trip that would result in injury. I still do many high mile days but it is less about a record and more about pushing to accomplish a goal like section hike the AT in a couple of years or the Bob trip. This is probably the single biggest accomplishment of the Georgia Loop trip. Good luck and use the time between now and then to refine every aspect of your hiking/walking/running etc.May 8, 2013 at 6:26 pm #1984616
Also, maybe take a tip from Adam and Tim seaver and DO the beginning section at least once (maybe some of the other sections too like near the end) to know those trails and be comfortable with just going. (similar to what GG says about in the dark). I know for their speed stuff they scout stuff out.
(woo LT thru hike party ;) GG we should hike in NH sometime.. but not 50mi at once. Pemi loop this summer will be pushing it for me)

A Tina Fey Lesbian SNL RompTuesday, October 28th, 2008
Now Tina Fey's happily married, to a musical composer on SNL, who's now working on "30 Rock" too. They met back during Tina's Second City days, and they've been together since. They also have a child, and I don't think that Tina Fey's the type to cheat on her marriage, while her hubby probably won't find anyone as hot as her. So is there no chance for some hardcore Tina Fey pics out there? Well, there's one thing she can try that I'm sure her husband won't object to, and that's have a hot lesbian session! She placed 7th on lesbian website AfterEllen.com's Hot 100 list for 2007, so she does have that sort of appeal. And I guess that's why we now have this hot photo showing Tina Fey nude with another sexy SNL cast member, the lusty Maya Rudolph! Now this is a fantasy come true for fans of that show and the women there who're both hot and talented. The possibilities for some kinky roleplaying are endless with these two, and my erection wishes we could have more of those pics!
Well, might as well check out this site to see if they have any more Tina Fey muff-diving action in their pages. They've got lots of other hot celeb lesbian porn, so there's always a chance they'll have more Tina Fey over there!

A puff of white smoke from a chimney on the roof of the Sistine Chapel, in Vatican City, delivered the news first on March 13, 2013. Next came an announcement made from the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica: the Catholic Church had chosen a new pope. The news was met with cheers from the thousands who had gathered in rain-soaked St. Peter's Square. "Habemus papam," they chanted. "We have a Pope." His name was Jorge Mario Bergoglio.
Before being elected Pope, Bergoglio (Ber-goal-io) was a cardinal in Buenos Aires, Argentina. To lead the world's 1.2 billion Catholics he chose the name Pope Francis in honor of Saint Francis of Assisi, the Italian saint who chose a life of poverty. "I would like to thank you for your embrace," he told followers as he greeted them for the first time. He asked people to pray for him. Bergoglio is the first Pope from South America and the first non-European pope in 1,300 years.
Jorge Mario Bergoglio was born December 17, 1936, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to Italian immigrant parents. His father worked as an accountant for the railway. His mother raised five children. In college, Bergoglio studied chemistry. After graduating, he entered the priesthood, becoming Cardinal of Buenos Aires in 2001. To Argentinians who saw him riding to and from work on the capital city's crowded busses and subway, Bergoglio was a man of the people.
That same simplicity has marked his time as Pope. Instead of living in the papal palace, Bergoglio makes his home in a more modest Vatican apartment. And while past popes traveled in fancy cars, Pope Francis drives around Vatican City in a small, nearly 30-year-old vehicle given to him by a local priest. In his teachings, Pope Francis has spoken out against income inequality and urged followers to fight against poverty. He has stirred excitement among followers and brought new energy to the church.
For his strong leadership, humility, and concern for the poor, Pope Francis is a nominee for TFK's 2013 Person of the Year.

It's State Cup season across the country (hurray!) and the first state to finalize teams for 2014 regionals, was the host of the 2012 Far West Regionals, Hawaii.
A great showing by Hawaii Rush resulted in 5 teams being crowned as State Cup Champions and three others finishing as runners up.
The older Hawaii boys teams had great success over the weekend as the U14 and U15 boys earned Championships and a return trip to Regionals after falling in the group stage in 2013. Joining them will be the U16 and U17 boys who will look to make a splash this year. On the girls side will be the U13 HI Rush girls who will look to improve on their Quarterfinal showing at the 2012 Far West Regional tournament.
U13 State Cup Champions
2nd place finishers from Hawaii Rush include the U14 and U16 girls along with the U18 boys.
Far West Regionals (Region IV) will take place in Albuquerque, New Mexico June 16-22. Good luck Hawaii Rush teams!
With the spring success of Hawaii Rush and the championships already earned from the fall, 14 State Cup Champions have already been crowned across Rush Nation with many states yet to finish completion. A record 50 Rush teams competed at Regional tournaments last summer, can we break that number in 2014? Stay tuned to rushsoccer.com all spring long to find out!
If you have pictures from your State Cup competitions (or any other cool pictures) that you want shared on the Rush Soccer social media platforms, submit them here.

Over the next few weeks, PPS staff will travel to Australia, New Zealand, and cities all over the US to advance Placemaking, in addition to moving our transportation initiatives forward. Here are just a few of the many projects, speaking engagements, and workshops coming up- perhaps in a neighborhood near you!
This Week
Denver, Colorado
Ethan Kent contributes to the 2010 Community Matters Conference, October 5-8. Friday, he moderates a panel on Design for Change. He will also participate in a convening of leaders in Heart and Soul Planning. Follow Ethan's Twitter updates from the conference.
NYC (Markets)
This Friday, October 8, Kelly Verel will participate in a panel organized by the New York Immigration Coalition at the Queens Museum of Art. Kelly's talk will focus on the importance of cultural marketplaces and the myriad benefits of public markets.
Tupelo, Mississippi (Downtowns)
All this week, a team from PPS travels to Tupelo, Mississippi (Elvis' birthplace!) to work with a team of placemakers from the Trust's National Main Street Center to help this community improve their Main Street. This project engages a wide range of Tupelo stakeholders, community members and the Department of Transportation to enliven its Main Street corridor, a state highway which links downtown to the birthplace of Elvis and other public spaces and local destinations.
Corpus Christi, Texas: (Waterfronts)
October 6 and 7, Fred Kent and Kathy Madden travel back to Corpus Christi, where they are working with a highly organized group of dedicated citizens, known as Destination Bayfront, who are leading a campaign to build a world class waterfront in their city's downtown. This group has joined forces with the City of Corpus Christi and hundreds of interested citizens, to improve the waterfront using the Placemaking process.
Spokane, Washington
Fred Kent will give the keynote speech in Spokane, Washington about building a sustainable future for our cities around great destinations. Washington State University will host his talk as part of the Design Research Conference which explores the intersections between urban planning, architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, industrial design and health. Join Fred on October 8 at 6:30 p.m. in the Bing Crosby Theater, 901 W. Sprague, Spokane, Washington.
Late October and November
Upper Kirby, Texas (Civic Centers)
Texas is the first stop for Cynthia Nikitin and Elena Madison as they travel to around the US to advance PPS' work expanding and enriching the function of civic and cultural centers.
First, October 12-14, they visit Upper Kirby, a small town near Houston, to lead a Placemaking workshop to plan new Civic Center (complete with classrooms and space for non-profits) that will compliment nearby Levy Park. The community has already developed several plans for the space, and the goal of the session Elena and Cynthia will lead is to integrate the best of each plan into coherent steps forward.
Newberg, Oregon (Civic Centers)
From October 19-26, Cynthia and Elena travel back to Newberg, Oregon, gateway to some of the finest wine country of the Northeast (and -perhaps unpredictably- a hub for many fine ethnic restaurants) to lead a second workshop to link the town's cultural center and public plazas together, building a multi-use destination for tourists and locals alike.
Lincoln, Nebraska (Civic Centers)

LGBT Families
LGBT families are part of the American fabric. Two million children are being raised by lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender parents. Children of gay and lesbian parents live in 96% of U.S. counties—and decades of research shows that those children grow up as happy, healthy and well-adjusted as their peers.
So why do our laws systematically stand in the way of allowing children of LGBT parents to thrive?
Current laws deny loving, forever homes to the 115,000 children awaiting adoption. They deny children of LGBT families legal ties to both their parents, meaning that families live in fear due to uncertain family ties. They can wrongly separate children from their parents in cases of divorce or the death of a parent. They deny basic government aid and safety net programs to children of LGBT parents simply because their family doesn't meet a legal definition of family in a particular state. They can deny access to parents' health insurance coverage, quality child care and early childhood education programs, Social Security Survivor benefits, inheritance, and more.
These outdated, harmful laws not only ignore and hurt the roughly 2 million children being raised by LGBT parents, they also hurt children in other family configurations, including those with unmarried heterosexual parents.
Public policy has not kept up with the changing reality of the American family. Without common-sense policy solutions that address the needs of LGBT and other families, our laws will continue to hurt children of LGBT parents and make it more difficult for them to reach their full potential.

February MBI at 49.6 – Industry Essentially Flat
With a reading of 49.6, Gardner's metalworking index showed that business activity in the metalworking industry was virtually flat in February 2013 compared to January 2013.
Steven Kline, Jr.
Director of Market Intelligence, Gardner Business Media
With a reading of 49.6, Gardner's metalworking index showed that business activity in the metalworking industry was virtually flat in February 2013 compared to January 2013. The contraction that started in July 2012 has ended relatively quickly in the last two months.
New orders and production have grown the last two months, which is a positive sign for future growth in metalworking. The rate of growth in new orders slowed slightly while the rate of growth in production accelerated. Despite the faster growth in new orders relative to production, backlogs continue to contract. The rate of contraction in backlogs has slowed noticeably, but the backlogs subindex is a significant reason why the metalworking index remains just below 50. Also weighing down the metalworking index are exports. The dollar was appreciating for much of 2012 and exports have contracted the last 15 months as a result. This trend could reverse in 2013 with increased quantitative easing from the Federal Reserve. After two months of very mild contraction around the election, the employment subindex has grown moderately the last three months.
While increased quantitative easing could help exports, it is hurting manufacturers by causing higher materials prices. Material prices are increasing at their fastest rate since March 2012. Prices received have increased the last two months, but at a much slower rate than material prices. The combination of growing employment and rapidly increasing material prices is putting pressure on profits of metalworking facilities.
While the overall index remains in a mild contraction, performance has been split based on shop size. Facilities with more than employees have grown for at least the last two months. However, shops with fewer than 50 employees continue to contract. While the rate of contraction in smaller facilities has slowed compared to the second half of 2012, it was greater in February than January. Unlike last month, more regions are growing than contracting. The fastest growth is in the South Atlantic while the fastest contraction is in the East North Central.
Two end markets that continue to experience growth are forming and fabricating (non-auto) and pumps, valves, and plumbing products.

Nightmare bacteria spreading in U.S. hospitals, nursing homes: CDC
theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com / By Nickko / March 6, 2013
March 6, 2013 HEALTH A nightmare bacteria that is resistant to powerful antibiotics and kills half of those it infects has surfaced in nearly 200 U.S. hospitals and nursing homes, federal health officials reported Tuesday. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said 4 percent of U.S. hospitals and 18 percent of nursing homes had treated at least one patient with the bacteria, called Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), within the first six months of 2012. CRE are nightmare bacteria. Our strongest antibiotics dont work and patients are left with potentially untreatable infections, CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden said in a news release. Doctors, hospital leaders and public health [officials] must work together now to implement the CDCs detect and protect strategy and stop these infections from spreading. The good news, Frieden added at an afternoon teleconference, is we now have an opportunity to prevent its further spread. But, he continued, We only have a limited window of opportunity to stop this infection from spreading to the community and spreading to more organisms. CRE are in a family of more than 70 bacteria called enterobacteriaceae, including Klebsiella pneumoniae and E. coli, that normally live in the digestive system. In recent years, some of these bacteria have become resistant to last-resort antibiotics known as carbapenems.

Ford 460 holley 750 Questions :)
I'll just make 1 thread and keep updating it with questions rather then posting a new one each time i need help.
I have just brought myself a 1970 jaguar with a ford 460 bigblock running a holley 750 carb, it runs but runs rough here are the list of my questions.
Whats the best sparkplug to get because i need new ones?
is this carby algood for the engine?
How do i tune the carby to run on the engine fine?
what compression is this engine ment to be at? ( in psi )
How do i set the timing? and what timing should i set it at?
What petrol is best for the engine? we have 91 octane 95 and 98
What oil should i use in it?
and i have no idea what type of ignition setup it is . . will take a picture of it
Is there anything i need to know about this motor like what to do and what not to do to it.
there is also heaps of random hoses that have jst been blocked up with bolts etc and not used will get detailed pictures of the engine etc when its fine so you can see.
any help is much appreciated Want to get this on the road
The guys to do list he gave me has these left to do.
new plugs, tune up, drive shaft, gearbox linkage,oil change, trans flush, accelerator cable, brake booster.
here is a picture of it

What year 460?
Post head and block casting numbers if you aren't sure.
are any of them right? or where abouts can i find the ones im looking for?
there are so many random hoses which are blocked or not attached and have no idea where or what they do and also i jst realised there is no waterpump belt. . . . have to buy one tomorrow lucky iv only had it running for short periods so fingers crossed it never over heated.
think it needs new points also but i might just buy a whole new distributor setup? if so which is the best to get?
also are these spark plugs what i need? ford 460 spark plugs F SERIES (8) | Trade Me
also is this a good distributor to buy? and does this have points? no idea what HEI is . . . HEI Distributor To Suit Ford BB V8 Engines | Trade Me
here are some pictures of my engine with hoses and things im not sure where to go are, i have marked in red the numbers are for the same thing but couldnt see both ends on the picture also i have no idea what or where to put that alternator wire thing like wheres the voltage regulator or does it just go straight to the battery or where coz atm its not charging the battery
also just looking at my engine is there ment to be a tenisoner to tighten the belts? it currently only has 1 belt which is for the alternator but i need one for the waterpump but how do i put it on and keep it tight? . . . anyone know a link how to do it
No answers for ya, just wanted to say thats sweet! You may get a kick out of this
grrrrr so after having a look at what else needs doing i noticed when u blow down exhaust number 2 it goes straight out exhaust number 7 and vice versa, all other exhausts aint like this. . . . i started panicing but a mate of mine said this is normal? its made to heat up the intake manifold for better ignition or something? is this right or is it broked?
Have been looking around and from what iv read my 460 is the bad one with the worst heads ..... is the block the same as all 460s? like can i just bolt on new heads and intake and itl be back to good again? and how bad are these heads? does that mean its going to wreck my engine because of detonation . . . also how can i stop that? i mean i have open exhausts and a holley 750 carb and i run it on 91 octane and going to get a HEI dizzy because its currently missing/running rough/running on like 7 cylinders when i give it a rev. . .or its the sound of detonation? i duno what that sounds like lol jst doesnt run right when i give it heaps of revs like its running on 7 cylinders. i just dont want to blow the engine i want it driveable reliable and road legal without blowing before i start modding the engine and changing the heads but if these heads are that bad ill change them i just dont want to ruin the whole engine . . .

Yes the 72 D2VE heads are a one year only open chamber head which is detonation prone. I would strongly suggest finding a pair of early small chamber castings C8, C9, D0 or D1 closed chamber heads. Assuming you have a stock 72 bottom end this will raise your static compression ratio to approximately 9:1. D3 heads will work as well but they are large chamber and your compression will be 8:1 or less which is not good if you have performance upgrades in mind.
Please don't take offense but it seems you are short on experience and long on issues with this engine. Do you have someone with some mechanical experience you could call on to help you sort things out and diagnose the miss?
Last edited by TommyK; 10-14-2012 at 12:38 PM. Reason: typo
once i buy a distributor and new plugs if it still runs rough ill take it in to get the carby tuned and timing done then they will be able to sort it out, kinda hard to tell why its running rough or if its missing because its so dam loud with the exhaust lol. was looking around and cant really find any other heads for sale for cheap . . . i found these "ford 460 edelbrock alloy heads 95 cc chambers 292cc intake ports 2.190 intake valves 1.760 exhaust valves1.540 springs .700 lift maxtt" these are the only heads i can find for sale, these cost like $1500 but i have no idea if these heads are good or if all 460s have the same block setup or if ill need to do work to that for it to run good,
how can i reduce chances of detonation with my current setup? just want it running before i start making more engine upgrades really, still need to hook up gearbox linkage get a drive shaft and few other things and havnt got much money at the moment so need to prioritise what to get so i can get it moving and cost effiecent.
Any head from a 429 or 460 which originally came with a carburetor will interchange on any 429 or 460 block.
To avoid detonation use the highest octane pump gas available and don't get too aggressive with the ignition timing. With those headers you will have a hard time hearing detonation if it is occurring.

what should i set the ignition timing at? and ok thanks i can run it on 98 octane just untill i get it going and moving then ill save up and find some heads
Let's figure some static compression ratios just for grins....
Using early heads (75cc)
Cylinder volume (.7854) x 4.36 x 4.36 x 3.85 x 16.387 = 942 cc's
Chamber volume 75 cc's
Piston deck height volume (figured at 0.060" because of increased block deck height of 1972 and later blocks....(.7854) x 4.36 x 4.36 x .06 x 16.387 =15 cc's
Piston crown valve reliefs....estimate at 10 cc's
Head gasket....estimate at 10 cc's
942 + 75 + 15 + 10 +10 = 1,052 cc's
75 + 15 + 10 +10 = 110 cc's
Divide the larger by the smaller and find 9.56:1 SCR
Using later heads (95cc)
942 + 95 + 15 +10 +10 = 1,072 cc's
95 + 15 + 10 +10 = 130 cc's
Divide the larger by the smaller and find 8.25:1 SCR
So there is about 1 1/4 points of SCR between the early and the late heads on a stock bore and stroke 460.
If I were going to run the motor without tearing it down for a rebuild and correcting the horrible piston deck height and squish, I would use the later heads and a very short cam or the stock cam. That would allow the motor to operate well on junk pump gas without detonation. I'd be afraid of running 9.56:1, particularly with a short or stock cam. Of course, you could use a longer cam that would bleed off some of the cylinder pressure and make the motor less prone to detonation with with 9.56:1 SCR, but what I'm understanding here is that the OP has little or no expertise in that area.
So, bottom line, leave the cam alone and run the 95cc heads would be my advice.

Here's the answer to last week's "How Much Is This Hotel?" quiz. Play along with future hotel quizzes by subscribing to our blog.
We have a winner! The correct answer to last week's How Much Is This Hotel? contest is $215 per night. Greti, who gave the first correct answer, has won an IndependentTraveler.com travel mug.
The room pictured was Local Artist Suite 2 at the Queen Anne Bed & Breakfast in Denver, Colorado. It's one of several suites designed by local artists (this one was the work of Tuyet Nguyen). The Queen Anne is a haven for eco-friendly travelers, with 100 percent organic cotton bedding, recycled paper products and low-flow showerheads. (Even the mattresses are sustainable, made of recycled metal coils and green tea insulation foam.) But the hotel doesn't scrimp on perks like hot tubs, fireplaces and park views.

Academic BackgroundB.A. University of Alaska
M.A., Ph.D. University of Connecticut
I have been teaching full time at Rhode Island College since 2009, but I have a longer history with the College. I first came to RIC in 1997 as an undergraduate through the National Student Exchange Program. A few years later, while completing my graduate work, I taught courses in RIC's Gender and Women's Studies and Africana Studies programs. I currently teach courses in Postcolonial Literature, Literary Theory, African American and Ethnic American Literatures, 19th- to early-20th-century American Literature, and Maritime Literature.
Much of my research has been about real women or fictional female characters at sea. I'm currently working on a book manuscript titled "Jack London and the Sea: American Naturalism and the Maritime Romantic Ideal." What first drew me into my current scholarship on Jack London was his proto-feminist treatment of his active female characters in his sea novels. London appeals to me because he brings together my favorite topics of research—women and the sea; travel, adventure, and exploration; and turn-of-the-century attitudes toward gender and race. In a broad sense, all of my work is concerned with racial, ethnic, or gender identity, and most of my published work addresses literature that explores characters' desire to escape from social conventions and/or new perspectives made possible by travel (usually at sea).
I co-chair Open Books – Open Minds, RIC's common book program, which engages students with the broader RIC and Rhode Island communities in a variety of events inspired by each year's common book selection. I also organize the annual Open Books – Open Minds Student Conference, which takes place in the spring and and caps off each year of exciting programming. See what's happening this year at www.ric.edu/obom!
Outside of school, some of my favorite things are my golden retrievers, Zoe and Sylvie; running, biking, skiing, and sailing; strong coffee (with a good book) in the morning and dark chocolate in the afternoon.

I've been humming this tune for years now...don't remember it well.
Its a silly song about a dog.
"Whenever I hear some barking in the night...I remember my old doggie"
Doggie, Doggiee (Woof, Woof), Doggie, Doggie (Woof, Woof)
I remember my old doggie"'
My kids are giving me grief about this. They say the song doesn't exist. That I'm making it up and that I'm losin' it.
Google the lyrics...Nyet.
Might be a Bobby Goldsboro song or something, but not sure...
My kids are really on my case about this...I need help bad.
REDSZONE knows everything. You're my last hope. HELP!

It's been widely reported in the media that sports concussions and repeated hits to the head cause a progressive brain disease called chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
CTE is said to cause such symptoms as memory loss, aggression, depression and progressive dementia. But there is debate in the scientific community over this theory. "I don't think CTE exists," said Christopher Randolph, PhD, ABPP a professor in the Department of Neurology of Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine.
Two of the nation's leading sports concussion experts will debate the issue June 20 in Chicago during the annual meeting of the American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology (AACN). The format will be similar to the Obama-Romney presidential debates.
Randolph will debate Robert Stern, PhD, a leading proponent of the theory that sports concussions and hits to the head cause CTE. Stern is co-director of the Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy at Boston University. The program will be hosted and moderated by Aaron Nelson, PhD, ABPP, president of the AACN.

The rooms are just big enough (yet a bit low), and the space was used very efficiently: the place has its own kitchen, bathroom with shower and a separate toilet. There is an open stairs to the attic, with a good quality double bed, and room for 2 more beds. The couch downstairs can be turned into a double bed as well. There is basic equipment, normal size fridge and separate freezer, you have a separate hot water and central heating system.
The fenced garden has some nice sunny spots to relax, as well as a toy castle and wooden tower with slide for the kids. End of the street is our small village harbour where you can swim in the sea arm Westerschelde.
Within 3 minutes walk, there is a great, safe and green public playground. The nearest sandy beach is about 10 car minutes, a lovely place - great for families. The area is furthermore wellknown among hikers and bikers for its beautiful landscape, quiet and peace.
As you may read in the reviews, we unfortunately had some problems with the freezer and the toilet. The first one has been replaced and the sewer system has been completely renewed. We are very sorry for the inconvenience this has caused to our previous guests.
We are not a 3-star hotel, but we try to do everything as good as we can. Unfortunately, we have also had one rude and unreasonable guest, from whom we hope you will not believe the review. We can not defend against this, only hope that you understand that a cat hair on the back of a (vaccuumed!) sofa coushin is possible in a place where pets are allowed. Other allegations are at the same level.
We hope to welcome many more great guests who can see the charm and not the negative side of a small but cozy house from the year 1862.
House rules- own entrance through the yard
- garden is shared with us (the owners, cats and dogs)
- pets are welcome as long as friendly to our own children, dogs and cats

Reviews of this property
Great stay at Sonja and Koenraad's.
The place is very clean, absolutely cozy and they will help you with any question you have.
Thank you again for a lovely first trip to Nederland.
Sonja and Conrad are welcoming and friendly. The guest house looks cozy and cozy. Unfortunately, we went home early because the property was not suitable for us. The ceiling was too low for my friend who is 1.95 m. Myself (1.80 m) also found it on the tight side. We could see the door of the toilet did not close because our legs were against it. Very sorry!
Sonja en Koenraad zijn gastvrij en vriendelijk. Het gastenhuisje ziet er knus en gezellig uit. Helaas zijn we eerder naar huis gegaan omdat de accommodatie voor ons niet geschikt was. Het plafond was te laag voor mijn vriend die 1.95 m is. Ikzelf (1.80 m) vond het ook aan de krappe kant. We konden de deur van het toilet niet sluiten omdat onze benen er tegenaan zaten. Heel jammer!
Our sojourn at Koenraads apartement was very fine and restful.
The house is cute and offers all that is necessary. Everything was tidy and orderly. Koenraad and his family are very friendly and helpful.
All in all, the guesthouse is well advisable.
I cannot understand why the last two reviews for this accommodation are so negative! We stayed with Koenraad and Sonja a few weeks ago and everything was perfectly fine! Koenraad and Sonja were very, very nice and gave us tipps where to go and what to see. The guesthouse itself was really cute. Of course it's small, but unless you're not a 2m-giant it's no problem at all. Everything was clean, the toilet functioned perfectly well, and there was not a single animal-hair in the house. There's all you need to have a comfortable stay: a small but fully equipped kitchenette with a gas-stove, a huge fridge, a coffee-maker (and no mouldy coffee!), a TV, a bath, a garden and a very comfy bed upstairs (right below the roof). You do need a car to get there and around because the little village is quite far from the next bigger town, but it's heavenly quiet there. We enjoyed it very much!!
Nice, personal touch! Simple living.
Netter, persönlicher Kontakt! Einfaches Wohnen.
Everything was perfect! Koenraad and his family (and the dogs are very friendly :) and Koenraad has the best russian ouzo in the whole netherlands ... . The little house is comfortable and clean and has everything you need. We would always recommend it! Everything was great! Koenraad and his family (and the dogs :) are very friendly and pleasant hosts and Koenraad has the best Russian ouzo from all over Holland.

Alles war super! Koenraad und seine Familie (und die Hunde :) sind sehr freundliche und angenehme Gastgeber und Koenraad hat den besten russischen Ouzo von ganz Holland. Das kleine Haus ist gemütlich und sauber und hat alles was man so braucht. Wir würden diese Unterkunft immer weiter empfehlen!
We liked it very well, but the weather was, in bad weather, it could be problematic, since the apartment is very small and not necessarily invites to Drinnensein. The landlord himself we do not know that mom had taken over the care and was very nice and friendly. The apartment is ideal for vacationers who do not provide the highest standards of accommodation and are satisfied with modest means
Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen, allerdings hat das Wetter mitgespielt, bei schlechtem Wetter,könnte es problematischer werden, da die Wohnung sehr klein ist und nicht unbedingt zum Drinnensein einlädt. Die Vermieter selbst haben wir nicht kennengelernt, die Mutti hatte die Betreuung übernommen und war sehr nett und freundlich. Die Ferienwohnung ist gut geeignet für Urlauber, die nicht allerhöchste Ansprüche an eine Unterkunft stellen und auch mit bescheidenen Mitteln zufrieden sind
ashamed to rent an apartment so dirty! urine of animals in the hall of the house! Sofa filled with dog hair, moldy coffee, wholesale unhygienic I 've never seen anything like it in my life! It should not exist! we did not stay and had to look for a hotel at the last minute. I recommend to everyone! more than mediocre!!
honteux de louer un logement aussi sale!! urine d'animaux dans le hall de la maison!! Canapé rempli de poils de chien, café moisit, gros manque d'hygiène je n 'ai jamais vu ca de ma vie!!! Ca ne devrait pas exister! nous ne sommes pas resté et devions chercher un hotel à la derniere minute. Je le déconseille à tout le monde!! plus que médiocre!!!!!
The annex to the house where we stayed looked like a home for dwarfs. Everything was small and uncomfortable, especially the room or the bed was a little convenient accessibility. Freezer set at our disposal did not work. But do not lay still more uncomfortable: the worst was the toilet: not once we could not flush the toilet without fear of flooding the room even after a simple pee and you can not imagine the difficulty we tested whenever he had evacuated the rest. The worst part of the story is that the problem was known to the owners because they offered us one of their host recommendations written in four languages to throw toilet paper use in the outdoor trash. It was their only way to solve this problem. In summary, this is a place we will not return.
L'annexe de la maison que nous avons occupée ressemblait a une maison pour des nains. Tout y était petit et peu confortable, surtout la chambre ou le lit double était d'une accessibilité peu pratique. Le congélateur mis a notre disposition ne fonctionnait pas.
Mais la ne résidait pas encore le plus inconfortable : le pire était la toilette : pas une fois nous n'avons pu tirer la chasse sans craindre l'inondation de la pièce même après un simple pipi et vous ne pouvez imaginer la difficulté que nous avons éprouvée a chaque fois qu'il fallait évacuer le reste. Le pire dans l'histoire est que le problème était connu des propriétaires car ils nous proposaient parmi leurs recommandations d'accueil écrites en 4 langues de jeter le papier de toilette usage dans la poubelle extérieure.

Reviews of this property
Senda is the most friendly host I ever met. We get a little breakfast every morning and the flat is terrific. We will come back, thank you, Senda!
My daughter and I had a brilliant time in Barcelona and staying with Senda made it all the more enjoyable. She is a great and welcoming host and very helpful and knowledgeable with regards to the city, where to go, how to get there, etc.
Our room was lovely, very clean, spacious and had plenty of storage space. It is on a main road so a bit noisy but, that said, the location is great and within 5 minutes walk to the Metro. It was great to get up, have breakfast and then set off for the day.
Localization is perfect for exploring Barcelona. Many attractions are easily reached on foot. There is a large room with large bathroom and a good breakfast. Everything is very clean and the friendly hostess Senda are multilingual very good tips for day trips. A bus stop is just a few minutes right outside the door and a metro station. The property is highly recommended. Heike & Peter, Germany
Die Lage der Unterkunft ist ideal um Barcelona zu erkunden. Viele Sehenswürdigkeiten sind gut zu Fuss zu erreichen. Es gibt ein großes Zimmer mit großem Bad und ein gutes Frühstück. Alles ist sehr sauber und die freundliche Gastgeberin Senda gibt mehrsprachig sehr gute Tipps für Tagesausflüge. Eine Bushaltestelle ist direkt vor der Tür und eine U-Bahn Station wenige Minuten entfernt. Die Unterkunft ist sehr zu empfehlen. Heike & Peter, Deutschland
our stay in Barcelona was a dreams, also thanks to Senda. Everything was more than perfect! Great room, lots of space, clean, beautiful. The house itself is spacious. Big modern bathroom to ourselves. Senda gave good advice and prepared a delicious breakfast. the appt is very central, easy to reach from the Airport and right in the centre. The neighbourhood provides all types of cafe's and restaurants. Shopaholics will have a ball. I certainly will come back, if only to stay in Senda's place again
It has been a truly amazing stay in Barcelona. Senda is a wonderful and attentive person who made our stay a trip to remember. Our room, breakfast and Senda's general hospitality were truly incredible. We especially appreciate her helping in planning our daily activities. If you have any questions, Senda is the one to answer them all. We are very thankful and will cherish the memories forever and of course overall highly recommend the accomodation.
Perfect location, close to all the sights. Senda is a charming hostess - friendly and helpful.The apartment has unique atmosphere , it`s spaciuos and airy and the cleanness is perfect. We can recommend it with all our hearts.
Beautiful location (5 minutes walk from Plaça Universitat, where there is' a metro station and 10 minutes from Catalunya Square, the very heart of Barcelona, with departures and arrivals of metro, bus and taxi). Apartment area quiet at all times. "Welcome Senda" wonderful and always available to information and tips for making the most of Barcelona. Hearty breakfast and excellent. Bedroom, bathroom and rest of the very large and spacious. Optimal cleaning of each room
Posizione splendida(a 5 minuti a piedi da Piazza Universitat,dove c'e' una fermata della metro e a 10 da Piazza Catalunya, vero cuore di Barcellona, con partenze e arrivi di metro,autobus e taxi). Zona appartamento tranquilla ad ogni ora. "Accoglienza Senda" splendida e sempre disponibile a informazioni e consigli per visitare al meglio Barcellona. Colazione sostanziosa e ottima. Camera da letto, bagno e resto dell'appartamento molto ampio e spazioso. Pulizia ottimale di ogni stanza
We also had a great vacation. Barcelona is a fantastic city and the property we were very lucky. The location is perfect, very central, metro and bus right outside the door, much is within walking distance. Senda is also super nice, helpful and straightforward. The apartment is very nice, all beautifully decorated and super clean! The only thing you need to know: Barcelona never sleeps! And so earplugs are useful ;) But that's all over Barcelona that. The apartment can really recommend it! TOP! Gladly again!
Wir hatten ebenfalls einen tollen Urlaub. Barcelona ist eine traumhafte Stadt und mit der Unterkunft hatten wir sehr Glück. Die Lage ist perfekt, super zentral, U-Bahn und Bus direkt vor der Tür, vieles ist zu Fuß erreichbar. Senda ist zudem super nett, hilfsbereit und unkompliziert. Die Wohnung ist sehr schön, alles schön eingerichtet und super sauber! Das einzige was man wissen muss: Barcelona schläft nie! Und somit sind Ohropax sinnvoll ;) Aber das ist wohl in ganz Barcelona so. Kann das Appartement wirklich nur empfehlen! TOP! Gerne wieder!!!

By: Paul Abelson
Editor's note: Last month, we began our examination of the effects of snow and ice control chemicals on cabs and hardware. We continue our series with combating corrosion on chassis, suspensions, and brakes.
In 2001, Roy Gambrell shocked attendees of the American Trucking Associations' Technology and Maintenance Council Annual Meeting by making us aware of a new phenomenon.
Gambrell is maintenance director for Truck It in Franklin, Ky., and the council's soon-to-be general chairman. He'd found that his fleet's brake linings were cracking after only 30,000 to 40,000 miles instead of the 100,000 miles or more he'd been getting. When shoes were repaired or replaced, the cracking occurred more rapidly.
The cause: chemicals applied to roads to prevent or control snow and ice. As tires roll over the roads they kick up fine sprays of the chemicals. The moisture carries sodium chloride, calcium chloride, and magnesium chloride, often in combination, which wicks into the vehicle's nooks, crannies, and joints between metal surfaces. And there they stay, even through numerous washings.
When they get onto the steel brake shoes, they cause rust.
Rust, or iron oxide, expands to a greater volume than the original iron it combines with. The expanded material has nowhere to go, so it presses outward against the weakest point of resistance: the linings. Eventually the pressure cracks the linings. If caught early, the cracks will put a truck out of service. If not caught in time, brakes fail catastrophically. That causes crashes.
Magnesium chloride is one of the worst offenders. While less aggressive than ordinary road salt, magnesium chloride retains water — even drawing water from the air — to do more total damage over time. If relative humidity is more than 27%, magnesium chloride stays wet continuously.
Shortly after Gambrell identified "rust jacking," Darry Stuart, president of DWS Fleet Management Services, Wrentham, Mass., presented photographic evidence demonstrating how widespread corrosion had become. Brake shoes aren't the only victims. Virtually all exposed metal on a truck— suspension parts, painted aluminum and steel fuel tanks, landing gear, cab steps, and even cross members and chassis rails — can rust enough to lose all structural strength.
Corrosion isn't confined to structural parts. Line connections deteriorate and no longer hold air. Straps and related hardware no longer support tanks. End fittings no longer keep hoses attached, and air chambers rust through so that brakes won't work.
Long vehicle life starts with specifying the best components. Some managers pay thousands up front for galvanized and stainless-steel components, which pay for themselves many times over the life of a vehicle. Make sure they're suitable for the job, then consider corrosion protection.
That applies to replacement parts as well. Inexpensive brake shoes that you replace four times a year, or suspension hangers that rust through, are no bargain. Powder-coated products have epoxy or urethane resins that are drawn to surfaces with electrostatic charges and then baked to melt and flow the particles into all nooks and crannies. They provide the longest coating life, even in the most adverse conditions.
The next step in fighting corrosion is cleanliness.
While surfaces may look damage-free, they may be rusting from inside out, often in the spaces between metals. At the first sign of corrosion on the surface, clean whatever you can. Then, try to inspect and clean in the cracks. You may have to disassemble components to get where the rust starts. Sprays and paints that chemically convert rust into phosphates are good stop-gap measures to prevent additional rust formation, but for a long-term fix, abrade or sandblast down to bare metal. Then prime and paint.
Wash trucks regularly and more often during winter. Pressure washing works well on sides and tops, but because it forces corrosive chemicals deeper into undercarriage crevices, high-volume flooding may be more effective. After washing and during pre-trip inspections, check for signs of rust or galvanic action between metal parts.
Take your time. Be thorough in all you do. You'll get the longest possible life from all your rolling stock.

Post Pen Test Hack Question
Question:How do you cover this in the contract you present to the client prior to conducting testing?
General discussion of ethical hacking concepts, experiences, ideas and certs.
ajohnson wrote:A penetration test is intended to provide reasonable assurance within the scope that it's defined. The length of the engagement, testers' knowledge/experience, and other limiting factors (i.e. removing critical systems from the scope, using a test/dev network instead of production, disallowing social engineering/client-side attacks, etc.) all factor into the equation. Your lawyer/legal team should explicitly state that this is a "best-effort" service within the contract, and you (and/or sales reps/PMs) should also clearly communicate the level of assurance such an engagement will provide to the client.
sil wrote:On the flip side of this, the reality is, if someone compromised a glaring vulnerability, chances are the tester sucked (for lack of better words). Sorry I call it how I see it. In an instance where this occurs (you do a test and leave gaping holes) kiss any future business goodbye as well as introducing a huge black eye on your company. http://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nano ... 48786.html

Wow some people really need to brush up on their reading comprehension. I know he hit 2FG to get us to the SBs. But as burier stated earlier, everyone was ripping him for missing 2 straight and then finally for one to go. The one in SF was a chip shot. If that is clutch then every kicker is clutch.And as far as the 50% rate for 50+ yard kicks. That's 1 for 2. He still went 0/2. But I'm not knocking him by sayin he's not clutch. I don't see why clowns cdn are getting worked up for.

Angels of Anarchy

Three Cybergirls get tatted up and hit the open road in our latest special edition gallery.

There's a rumor floating around these parts that's peaked our interest here at Playboy.com. As if carried on the wind, the word has spread so far and wide it's almost become legend that if you find yourself on a desolate stretch of the arid California highway, you're bound to have a run-in with a certain fearsome crew; a trio of bad-ass Cybergirls so ruthless in their sexiness, they could only be called the Angels of Anarchy.
It wasn't long before our curiosity got the best of us, and we took to the open road to find the group of rogue Playboy models ourselves. Cameras in tow, we followed the trail of broken hearts all the way to Powerplant Choppers, where the girls played nice for once, and let us capture them in all their glory. We always knew we liked a beautiful woman with some ink on her arm and the raw power of a hog between her legs. Little did we know it could be this intense. In celebration of the new season of Sons of Anarchy, premiering Tuesday, September 10 on FX, we're sharing the results of that dangerous encounter with you. Hope you can handle it.
Never ones to leave you with just a photograph, check out Cybergirls Yevgeniya Diordiychuk, Katie Carroll and Jade Bryce in live action. The Angels of Anarchy weren't easy to wrangle, but we'd never let challenge stand in our way. Check out the behind-the-scenes video now.

Check out the King Arthur website for some delicious recipes using this premium flour. We used it to make the Cabot Cheese Bread and it was excellent. This flour is hard to find locally, but with iHerb's free shipping, I can get it easily and often. This is so much better than the typical flours in the stores, well worth ordering it online. The quality of KA flours is exceptional. Thanks, iHerb!

I love tabletop gaming. I started playing D&D when I was in college and quickly moved to other systems from there. I've even played in several Live Action Roleplaying Games (LARP). But because my husband works 2nd shift and we have a preschooler, I don't have a lot of opportunities to be able to get out and game. When I found out about AetherCon I was really excited because it is a gaming convention that takes place completely online, which means easy access regardless of time constraints. The first AetherCon took place last month and it was quite an interesting experience.
I had signed up for several games that worked around my schedule. I got online on Friday night, about a half hour before my game was supposed to start. I knew that the games were being hosted on Roll20, which is a browser-based virtual table for table top gaming. It was a little confusing at first because on the AetherCon website there were graphics that had table numbers. I had been given a table number when I signed up for each game, but when I clicked on the table I needed it just took me the Roll 20 main page. Eventually, I found myself in the Ox and the Mule, which was a chat room, where I learned that the table link would be sent to me from the game master (GM). So I just hung out in the Ox and the Mule until my game started.

Everything Everything Cover Rihanna's What's My Name on Radio 1's Live Lounge
This happened on Tuesday morning, but it's about to tickle your fancy today. Everything Everything, that British art rock band who draw wildly affecting sounds of math rock, post-punk and electropop into one fun substance, took to BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge, and as all good performers do, went with a cover of a currently popular tune. Oh nah nah, what's their name? Everything Everything doing doing Rihanna Rihanna justice justice with with What's My Name, What's My Name.
Snagging backing vocals from Sunday Girl (who previously wowed us with a revision of EE's Photoshop Handsome) and Lianne La Havas, their funky, reggae-tinged and soulful cover of the chart-topper has me begging for more.
Hey, let's play it again... Oh nah nah, oh ya ya!

The first stop actually was just a drive through but it was great. Custer State Park was very nice. After driving through the plains for the last couple of days it was nice to see a change in the terrain. Rolling hills, evergreens and the occasional lake were all beautiful but the highlight of the ride were the animals. Really nothing I could write could match the pictures so I'll let you see them.

Vezina is regular season only. Bobrovsky should win it.
Id rather see him win the Conn Smythe, if you know what I mean

OK. I'll settle for Conn Smythe. :D
Connny Smitthyyyyyy, Brassard had a phenomenal series so far!
give your head a shake man ;)
just be happy the Beanheads allowed the Leafs to play along for 7 games. rather than the 5 it should of took..
back to being irrelevant for another 9 years, hopefully longer
WTG Rangers! I don't see Boston winning, to inconsistent to beat the King.
guess I'll ride Ottawa the rest of the way, going to be a hell of a series.
I was on the Washington Capitals FB Page last night, and their fans were calling Ovechkin the "Tony Romo of the NHL". :D
May be in the minority here, but I've been incredibly impressed with Stralman the past few weeks. He may have had a couple lapses, but he's been incredibly consistent. And I can't say enough about Moore, Brassard, and Dorsett. I absolutely LOVE Gaborik, but these three have been huge pieces for this team.
I'm hoping Clowe and Staal can make it back for this series, we definitely need some physical players against a hard hitting Bruins team. If Rask can give up some rebounds like he did vs. Toronto I like our chances.

Poster session to highlight summer research program
Underrepresented students from community colleges statewide will show off the results of a five-week summer research program in a poster session to be held from 11-noon Friday, June 30, in the Old Union Hall of the University Union on the Binghamton University campus.
The students, who are participants in the SUNY Upstate Bridges to Baccalaureate program, were paired with Binghamton University faculty mentors to conduct a variety of experiments and research projects. The poster session is the culmination of the program, allowing participants the opportunity to display their research accomplishments using text and graphics. Research projects on display will explore visual perception development in young children, neutralizing the affects of acid rain and testing pollution levels in local urban creek watersheds.
This is the 8th year Binghamton University has participated in the SUNY Upstate Bridges to the Baccalaureate Program, which was established to increase the number of underrepresented minority students pursuing and earning baccalaureate degrees in the biomedical sciences. Students accepted into this year's program are from Broome, Monroe, Onondaga and Westchester community colleges.
The program guarantees Binghamton University admission to underrepresented students who have maintained a 2.7 grade point average in science courses and overall at selected community colleges. Such students include, but are not limited to, U.S. citizens who are African-American, Hispanic-American, Native American and natives of the U.S. Pacific Islands.
Bridges students receive a combination of mentoring, tutoring and financial support throughout the program, as well as the opportunity for hands-on research, which includes the Binghamton Summer Research Program. Throughout the program, co-coordinators at each of the community colleges work closely with Binghamton staff and faculty to build ties that will lead to student success there and later at a baccalaureate institution.
For more information on Binghamton's program, visit http://bridges.clt.binghamton.edu

Suit Week: The Tie
Which piece of clothing ties a look together? The tie of course.
Okay. So we know how a suit should fit, and we know what to look for in terms of picking a quality product. We've been over textures, trends, colors and cuts, but now it's time to get down to business with the piece that pulls everything together (or has the capacity to throw it all into disarray): the tie.
This may seem like highfalutin praise for a little piece of fabric, but take heed: if you consider the tie just "a little piece of fabric," we might be done here. There may be nothing more we can teach you; best to just say our good-byes and part ways as estranged acquaintances.
For those of you who do know what we're talking about, you know that the tie is (literally) the centerpiece of a suit. It can say so much: it can be understated for dapper dress, overstated for an eccentric accent, textured for depth (not to mention a certain trend we've talked a lot about), or just plain black to capture that clean, classic, oh-so-European look.
And seeing as the tie market is bountiful, as full of as many pleasant surprises as it is pitfalls, we've pulled a few of our favorites for Fall 2012 for your viewing (and purchasing) pleasure.
These two offerings from Dolce & Gabbana are a shining example of the understated look: simple, elegant, they don't draw attention away from the suit, they complement it. The twill silk offers just enough texture to bring a look to life, while the mini dots have a subtle yet signature allure. Givenchy's black silk tie (right) combines all the simplicity of the narrow tie look with a name the wearer can get behind. Remember, when it comes to ties, Shakespeare got it wrong; there is indeed much in a name.
Not so overstated that you might as well match it with enormous shiny shoes and a big red nose, but overstated enough that good company will have to take notice. Again we have two offerings from the same designer, Valentino Garavani: his geometric-patterned silk has a kind of retro feel, a pattern that will keep you ever so slightly ahead of the curve while the all-over dots in woven silk pop in their own contrasting patterns. Finally, Roberto Cavalli reminds us again what a name can do for even the simplest of ties with his signature lines print, also made from woven silk.

Forgot about the DT position. Now Bernard might not play. They are already without Canty now Bernard. That leaves them with Joseph who is an animal in the middle, a rookie, and a guy who has only played a few snaps in 3 years. This is getting ridiculous.
Hosley and Rivers will likely return for this game and give the defense a little boost. It would be tough to go without both starting safeties if Rolle can't play. Still it says in that article that Coughlin is optimistic he can play. I'd rather see Will Hill and Stevie Brown start with Sash seeing spot duty. I don't see how a guy who got suspended for four games and hasn't been around the team for a month should be rewarded with a start as soon he gets back.
At least the young guys will get game speed experience,this can only help down the road.When and if everyone does get healthy this will be a dangerous team.I just hope the division won't be to far out of reach.
I understand we have our share of injuries every year, but this is becoming ridiculous. I really hope the young bucks are paying attention and are ready to go...otherwise, what's next? Picking out the buffest fans in the stadium, having them sign something, and suiting them up? LOL

The curve of expectations with regards to schoolwork stereotypically set by someone of asian decent that makes everyone else look bad with relation to effort, commitment, and final product.
"Man, I hate that we only have two weeks to do this project. I hope Cindy doesn't set the asian curve too high so all of our projects don't look like crap in comparison.
