An Interview With Brian Viglione
Editor's Note: Sepiachord fan Amanda Thoni conducted this interview Brian Viglione of of The Dresden Dolls about a year ago. It's been orphaned since then. We're now happy to give it a home. Photo above and all photos unless otherwise indicated were taken by Lauren Goldberg on New Years Eve 2007
Amanda Thoni (AT): When did you first start playing instruments?
Brian Viglione (BV): I started playing when I was about five or six years old when my father got me a drum set, and was very excited to get me going and sort of, y'know, develop that kind of bond because he loved to play drums when he was little too and he played in bands when he was in high school and college and stuff. And so he showed me the basics when I was really young and I sort of took it on my own when I was about nine years old and I started getting into music and taking that on as a kind of an interest. I wound up playing every day after school, and it's what I did all in my free time instead of playing little league or collecting G.I Joes or something like that. I was playing music. Especially in fifth grade too, when I moved to a bigger school and I met a couple other kids who wanted to be in bands like I did. We were like a band immediately. I'm still great friends with those guys to this day, believe it or not. And, um, so yeah that's where it all started, I really started playing seriously on my own when I was in probably like fourth grade.
AT: Who are your major influences when you're drumming or guitaring?
BV: Um, my major influences I think, well, starting back when I was young, definitely the first and biggest influence was my father for sure. He's the one that I, y'know, used to watch play and he used to show me all kinds of different stuff and I used to try and copy the stuff that he did. From there, I think my biggest inspiration and longest lasting influence has probably Elvin Jones who's sort of a great jazz drummer and who sort of became famous and became known for playing with the John Coltrane Quartet in the sixties. Also, was credited with reshaping the face of jazz drumming because he had a really unique approach to the instrument and my father took me to see Elvin and his band in I think… 1990 in Cambridge MA. It was definitely a life changing experience. To be that young, and that impressionable, and to be front and center in front of one of the greatest jazz legends alive at that time was a really powerful and informative experience, and I definitely admired Elvin's passion and his spirit. He was very joyful when he played, and he played with so much heart and so much character, and he spoke of really being able to adhere to his own vision for his music, and really trying to develop your own voice, even if people think what you're doing is sort of weird having the dedication and the discipline to follow your own path was something that I really took to heart and draw inspiration from to this day. That, I incorporate into speeches when I talk to other young drummers.
AT: Since he's one of your major influences, um, when we see you play live with the Dresden dolls, you're always so very charismatic. Are you always so Charismatic with all the other bands that you play with.
BV: (laughs) Um, I mean, the Dresden Dolls features me as a performer in a very particular way in that I'm right up at the front of the stage and I have a lot of physical interaction with Amanda and with the songs. If what you're asking is do I do the same exact kind of performance with other bands that I do with the Dresden dolls, NO. But do I bring the same kind of charisma, yes. It's not that I do the same movements and wear the same outfits and all that kind of stuff, but I'm definitely bringing the same kind of energy and exuberance for the performance that I do for the Dolls, but that's just me. Then you learn how to sculpt that and, sort of like, make your stage performance kind of complimentary to whatever else is going on on the stage at that time.
AT: What are the most stressful and the most enjoyable parts about being on tour?
BV: (laughs) Well, I think y'know one of the most difficult things about being on tour is that after awhile it becomes incredibly physically draining, when you're doing a lot of traveling and your internal clock is being messed with every day. I think one of the roughest points we experienced was last August when we were traveling back and forth between Europe, the UK, Japan and Australia. Everyone was just completely screwed up, I mean no one knew what the hell was going on with the sleep schedule, and that definitely affected everyone's mood. It makes you feel very fatigued and disoriented and then y'know you can wind up missing home and the consistencies that home offers you like visiting your friends, and coming home and making a good dinner and sitting on your couch, whatever, just hanging with your friends. And when you're in a new place every single day, you tend to try to focus on the smaller things in life, y'know, the simpler pleasures, y'know, getting to have a good meal, when you curl up in your bunk. I definitely look forward to crawling up in my bunk at night and let the sound of the bus kinda like bring me to sleep and that kinda thing, y'know, you just find the simpler pleasures that you can enjoy. But yeah, it can definitely feel lonely at times, but I don't know, I have a hard time saying what's the worst. To be totally honest, the thing I hate about being on tour is when, y'know, I'm not getting along with someone on the road, y'know, if Amanda and I are fighting, or if it happens to be a problem with a tour member, it can make things uncomfortable for sure. That's easily remedied by just addressing the problem and talking to the person or just making sure they get plenty of alone time and time to do what makes you happy. For me, the best part of being out on tour is, that's the answer in itself, is y'know, I've looked forward to this kind of lifestyle, since I was nine years old and sort of, y'know, getting to play and perform music and play drums and do what I love to do for an audience every night is a tremendous reward, it's incredible.
AT: Do you ever listen to Dresden Dolls CD's in your own time, or do you just keep it to playing it and not listening to it at all ever?
BV: I generally only listen to Dresden Dolls music if I want to go back and refresh my memory in some way or if I'm comparing versions of songs, like listening to a studio record and then listening to a live version, but I generally don't. It's not like I'm a Dresden Dolls fan, y'know, and I put it on when I'm cooking my breakfast in the morning and then like singing along with it. I'm in the band. I don't view the music like that. It's my work, and I love it, but it's not what I go to when I wanna kick out the jams, per se. It's not that I dislike it, I'm definitely proud of our records and I like to listen back to them for fun. It's hard for me because often times I'm listening with a critical ear, y'know, because it's my work. It's not like I put it on for enjoyment. Plus, the music that I listen to very specifically I listen to because I'm trying to learn something that I don't know. I'm listening to music because I want it to either give me some kind of relief, y'know, if I just wanna play a Slayer record or hear a beautiful Mozart opera or whatever. Y'know, there's usually some kind of thing of looking to get back from it. To learn from it too, a lot of it's educational listening. Like, listening to a Louie Armstrong record and kind of studying the way he phrases things or an Art Blakey record when he's playing with his Afro Drum Ensemble, y'know, a lot of that I enjoy it because I'm learning as I listen and so that's what sort of forms my musical taste in a lot of ways.
AT: What's your favorite Dresden Dolls song to play live?
BV: Favorite Dresden Dolls song to play live? Well, "Girl Anachronism" is right up there, definitely. That's a fun one. I love playing "Mandy goes to Med School", that's a blast. Definitely "Half Jack" is great. I love being able to stretch it out with Amanda and jam together. Lemme see, I love playing "Modern Moonlight". That's a great song. It's always been a really fun one to perform. Yeah, and "Coin Operated Boy" too, as insane as that might sound, Y'know. People always ask me, "Like, how do you not go crazy after playing "Coin Operated Boy" a thousand times in a row?" But it's fun. That song offers a kind of freedom, and spontaneity and playfulness that I love about playing with the Dresden Dolls. So, those are like my top few favorite songs to play.
AT: You've been playing with HUMANWINE, and recording with them, and starting touring with them.
BV: Yeah, it's awesome, I can't wait!
AT: Have you played with them live yet?
BV: Yeah, I started playing shows with them in the fall of 2005, and we've done a handful of gigs together in Boston and New York. And then when the opportunity came up in January to start recording, we basically scheduled it so that as soon as the last day of The Onion Cellar was done on January 14, I hit the studio with them the very next day. So basically as soon as the last Dresden Dolls gig I had scheduled I went into the studio with HUMANWINE like twelve hours later. It was pretty funny, so.. But yeah, it was fantastic, like and kind of a fun story, I went to first grade with Holly, the singer. It's a pretty crazy story. We grew up like half a block away from each other and, y'know, knew each other when we were like six, seven years old, and then she moved away and I didn't see her for almost twenty years. Which was insane, it was like seventeen, eighteen years that I didn't see her. And then when I got back from tour in 2005, back from Japan, there was a voice message on my phone, and it was an old friend of mine, named Susan who said, "I just read this amazing article in the paper about this girl I think you went to school with. She's in a band called HUMANWINE, you should look them up." And so, I went home, googled the band, and then like wrote a letter to them through their website. I was like "hey do you remember me? We were kids together in first grade and blah blah blah blah blah, I'm in town and I'm in a band too." She wrote me back that day and I went up to see her that night and she and Matt were living just one town away from me and it was great. I mean, we hung out 'til like six in the morning and just laughed our heads off like we were little kids again. And we listened to all these CD's and stuff, and we were immediately best friends. It was great. I really, to the core, believed in their band and thought that they were one of the most interesting things going on in Boston at the time, and I really liked their stuff and, I always said, if ever the opportunity came about I would love to play with you guys. And so they asked me to do the new record with them, and I was of course, you can't do a record without going out to promote it, that's just sacrilegious in my opinion. So we had Emily, who's the day-to-day person for the Dresden Dolls, book this U.S. tour. And going out, we're gonna do about 25 dates across the U.S. It's gonna be great.
AT: I was reading about your drum clinic that's coming up on Saturday. What will that entail?
BV: That basically is the result because a lot of kids had written in to me, sort of asking me about my approach to playing and, you know, "you have sort of a unique style." And, I really had gotten so much satisfaction out of talking to kids on tour and just through the internet, you know, they had questions about drumming. I wanted to go out and start doing some of my own presentations and clinics about the subject and I feel that, at this point, it's really important to get out and get into the music education field if you're willing and able because there's such a lack of funding in schools these days. To me that's something that's very important. I definitely benefited from it when I was young and now I wanna be able to give that back in some way. The clinic basically goes through the basic fundamental principles of drumming and how to hold the sticks and basic exercises. Then from there it's really about how to develop your own creativity in the instrument. It really is to inform you and give you some tools that you might not otherwise think of when you're playing in a band or working on songs or, just philosophically in life, just a mindset is really present and communicating with those around you.
AT: Do you like having so much hands-on time with your fan base?
BV: Yeah, I mean, I love it. I don't see myself as being any different than the fans in a lot of ways. I still feel like I am that kid who's still kind of in awe of my favorite performers and I'm still too shy to go up to people that I admire. I also remember several times when I did have the guts to, sort of like, say to somebody that I saw at a show like 'Hey it's nice to meet you.', and they blew me off, or made me feel bad for doing that, and I never wanted anyone to feel bad for wanting to come up and say "Hi", or "I like the way you play.", or "I dig your show.", or "I dig or band." or anything like that. Again, too, the thing that gives me so much satisfaction is seeing other people being inspired by music too, just the way that I was. I feel like that's an important part of the cycle, is that people like me are granted the opportunity to do what we love for a living. Part of the joy is being able to give it back to other people so that they can keep it going too, when we're gone.
AT: How has your music style progressed throughout the years?
BV: Well, I think I've learned to listen a lot better. And I think I've learned how I'm still learning a lot about the value of subtlety and silence and, also, structure in my playing. One of the things that can be easy to fall into as an exuberant young player is that you want to play as much fancy stuff as much as you can play it in the song. And one of the greatest lessons to learn is what not to play and how that can really benefit the music that you're playing. And how weighing out and leaving space is really essential to giving room in the music. So that's something that I focus on now when I'm playing with the jazz trio and how to really listen to and accompany a soloist when they're playing and key in on that really intense sort of communication and sort of anticipate what they're going to play and, y'know, when you have a really good friend how when they tell a joke, they always tell it a certain way and they kinda laugh a certain way, you can sort of do an impression of your friend, and I sort of try to apply the same sort of mentality when I'm playing with a musician and I hear them play something, I sort of play along with them. You almost start to finish each other's sentences after awhile. And that's really kind of fun to do. So I think overall my goal is to become a more eloquent and sensitive player and still just as powerful and even more dynamic and more in control of what I wanna say through the instrument.
AT: Do you feel the connection every single night that you play as a Dresden Doll?
BV: No, not every single night. I mean, provided that people's attitudes are in a good place when you go on stage, there's an extremely high chance, that yes, you do feel that kind of magic. But if people are fighting against that and fighting against focusing on the music and fighting against making that connection, it can be extremely difficult. It was difficult in The Onion Cellar in a lot of ways. But, in general, yeah, I think we try to develop that kind of connection. In the early days, when we first met, and within the first six months or a year of playing we would just set up our instruments facing each other in her bedroom and just jam. Not even really work on songs, but start playing music. That again, too, you learn to start watching each other's body language. You learn how one another speaks through music and from there you start to build that kind of telepathy. You can start to think and play with one mind. That's something that Amanda and I spent a lot of time on. It just takes a lot of listening.
AT: You guys will be on a six month break, and I read about you guys going on tour again. Are you thinking of doing another CD anytime soon?
BV: Probably not anytime soon. We're gonna do the tour in the summer and then Amanda's gonna try and do a solo record and she's been sitting on a whole batch of songs that she hasn't been able to put on a Dresden Dolls record, and I know she's really excited to get some of her new stuff out. So she might do some stuff there, and then we'll see where we are come 2008. I've got some other projects that I'm thinking about doing that I'm really psyched about, now that we've finally got some time. I'm gonna try to put a project together with Dawn McCarthy, who's the singer of Faun Fables and Zoë Keating, who's the cello player from Rasputina and Meredith Yayanos who is a violin player who played on A is for Accident and who's done a whole bunch of live Dolls shows. So I thought putting together a small group with those people would be really fun. So, I think in the summer I'm going to get out to California and do a record with those guys.
AT: Who was your favorite band to tour with?
BV: My favorite, the one I remember most fondly, is when we went out with DeVotchKa and Faun Fables in the fall of 2005. That was totally amazing. Just great bands and great people. And again, that was the first time I got to collaborate with Dawn and play music with her. I played like two or three songs with her. It felt like one big happy family. We had a great crew and it was like a fun camping trip kind of thing. It was cool.

Energy efficiency has been a key design constraint for microprocessor development teams since the late 1990s. The fundamental technological issues that have led to this point are quite well understood at this time by industry and academia. Although active (or dynamic) and passive (or standby) components of the net power equation are of concern, in recent years the latter (leakage) aspect of chip power has been escalating at a much faster rate than active power. In fact, as we write, leakage power has almost equaled active power in the total power breakdown of a typical microprocessor. This means that a 100 W chip in today's technology will be burning about 50 W with just power on and no program running! And, by the way, the highest-performance, multicore, server-class processors are already close to 200 W in maximum power consumption! This equates to power densities that are pretty much at the very edge of air-cooled systems. So, without investing in liquid-cooled systems and their corresponding packaging (at significantly higher cost), microprocessors at the high end, targeted for traditional air-cooled server boxes, are pretty much at the end of the road, without a major paradigm shift in design and/or packaging technology. In fact, such a basic paradigm shift has been in the works for a few years, with the introduction of IBM's dual-core Power4 chip in 2000, for example. The industry in general has recently made a clear shift toward lower frequency, multicore architectures for general-purpose high-performance microprocessors. Intel, AMD, and Sun Microsystems have all announced future product roadmaps that embrace the multicore paradigm.
Although such a shift has enabled design groups to keep going for a little while, the need for building power efficiency into the chip's noncore components continues unabated. Also, we recently have witnessed a trend toward finer levels of clock gating in all designs, and the increasing use of power-gated modes to reduce leakage. Academic research in low-power design techniques have evolved from lower-level issues related to the underlying device and circuit technologies to higher-level knobs available in the microarchitecture, architecture, and even the application and software layers. In addition to the established International Symposium on Low Power Electronic Design (ISLPED), other smaller conferences and workshops have emerged to highlight the latest research—especially at the architecture and design levels.
That's why IEEE Micro, in putting together a special issue on this important theme, decided to focus on two recently held (and relatively new) conferences: Cool Chips VIII, held April 2005 in Yokohama, Japan, and the fourth Annual Austin Conference on Energy Efficient Design (ACEED), held in March 2005 in Austin, Texas. (Both of these conferences are organized to have presentations by speakers, without formal proceedings of written papers.) As our readers might know, Cool Chips covers talks on exciting new processor products or test chips that have "low power" as a primary constraint; ACEED, on the other hand, deals more with general research topics related to this field. As technical program chairs for these two conferences, we then teamed up to organize this theme issue, after inviting an initial set of articles from selected speakers and then screening those further into a set of seven final choices after a due review process, per IEEE Micro guidelines. We initially received a total of 17 submissions (10 from Cool Chips and seven from ACEED). Each article received at least two independent reviews; many received more than two reviews. After receiving reviews by a given deadline, we guest editors tried to make initial recommendations. One of us (Pradip Bose, who is also editor-in-chief of IEEE Micro) then made the final decisions about inclusion in the theme issue.
Three of the six selected articles turned out to be related to the Cell processor developed by Sony, Toshiba, and IBM. As Peter Hofstee of IBM describes in the " First-Generation Cell Processor" sidebar, the Cell chip was designed as a heterogeneous, multicore system-on-chip, but using custom CMOS silicon-on-insulator technology, targeted to achieve leadership frequency and performance at affordable power, for the game market. The challenge of delivering such high performance at a power level that makes it possible to use the processor chip in a game console or set-top system, is understandably very steep.
In the article by Takahashi et al., the authors describe the power-aware design principles behind each of the synergistic processing element cores within the full chip. In their article, Maeda et al. deal with some of the challenging issues in the programming model, paying attention to power conservation issues in a real-time computing scenario. In the article by Asano et al., we find a treatment of the low-level design issues related to achieving a high-performance SRAM design (again, for the SPE cores within Cell) at low power.
The other three selections in this issue are research articles, reflecting some of the leading-edge academic research activities in the area of power-aware microarchitecture design. In their article on duration prediction, Isci et al. dwell on the problem of predicting the length (or time duration) of each distinct phase of an executing workload. In a setting where dynamic voltage/frequency scaling (DVFS) helps to manage power efficiently, the ability to accurately predict a phase's duration enables the precision deployment of the underlying voltage change mechanism at a low overhead cost. In the article on formal control techniques, Wu et al. touch on a topic that is of significant current interest within the field of energy-efficient design: on-chip adaptive control techniques and algorithms, an area that has received considerable coverage in recent academic research, as a basic mechanism to manage power in the presence of changing workload demands. In this article, the authors address the formal control-theoretic aspects of such mechanisms, pointing the community toward an era of mathematically provable, robust control algorithms.
Finally, the article by Marculescu et al. touches on a topic of increasing importance to the chip design community: that of uncertainty in design caused by the increased variability and failure rates of component devices and building blocks. How this emerging new constraint interplays with the now well-known constraint of power dissipation limits is the interesting subject of this article.
We hope you enjoy this theme issue on energy-efficient design. We would like to thank all the anonymous reviewers who helped us select this excellent collection of articles from two very relevant and interesting conferences. We are also grateful to all the authors who took the time and effort to submit written versions of their original talks to this special issue.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
For their second album, Dragonfly, recorded and released the following year, the group broadened their sound with the presence of a group of session musicians, including piano/organist Rick Wakeman. Soon after the release of this record, the group became a full-fledged band with the addition not only of Wakeman but also Richard Hudson and John Ford, on drums and bass, respectively. These changes, coupled with Cousins' increasing dexterity on electric guitar, gave the Strawbs a much more powerful sound that was showcased on their next album.
The live Just a Collection of Antiques and Curios (1970) sold well, and was followed up the next year with From the Witchwood. In 1971, Wakeman left the Strawbs in order to join Yes; he was replaced by Blue Weaver formerly of the Amen Corner. Grave New World (1972) showed the band entering its strongest period, with Cousins' songwriting augmented by the new prowess of the composing team of Hudson and Ford. The record became their best-selling album to date. Unfortunately, its release also heralded the exit of Tony Hooper. He was replaced by Dave Lambert, a more aggressive, rock-oriented guitarist, and his addition brought the group into its peak period. The Strawbs' 1973 album, Bursting at the Seams, featured two Top Ten U.K. hits, "Lay Down" and "Part of the Union," and one album track, "Down by the Sea," racked up substantial airplay on American FM radio.
It was all too good to last, and it didn't. Blue Weaver left after one more tour, while Hudson and Ford exited to form Hudson-Ford, also signed to A&M. The Strawbs regrouped in 1974 with Hero and Heroine, recorded with a new lineup consisting of Cousins, Lambert, keyboardist John Hawken, bassist Chas Cronk, and drummer Rod Coombes. The new album was a critical and commercial failure in England, but proved popular in America. Their next two albums, Ghosts (1975) and Nomadness (1976), both did better in the U.S. than they did in the U.K. None of this was enough to sustain the group, however, which continued to lose members and also left A&M Records.
Two more albums on the Oyster label were poorly distributed and received, and one album for Arista, Deadlines (1978), was a failure, while a second record for the label was never released. The group ceased to exist at the end of the 1970s, and Cousins embarked on some solo projects in association with guitarist Brian Willoughby that attracted the interest of die-hard fans but few others. That might have been the end of the group's history, if it hadn't been for an invitation to play the 1983 Cambridge Folk Festival. The Strawbs responded, in the guise of Cousins, Hooper, Hudson, Ford, Weaver, and Willoughby, and the response was so favorable that a tour was scheduled, which, in turn, led to their return to America in the mid-'80s. The group followed this up with two new studio albums released in Canada.
In 1993, they released their own retrospective concert album Greatest Hits Live!, which summed up many of the high points of their history. The group continued to play throughout the decade and into the following century, issuing a slew of live efforts and studio albums. 2008 saw the original lineup from the Hero and Heroine era returning to the studio to record The Broken Hearted Bride, a return-to-form effort that solidified the band's staying power. ~ Bruce Eder

- Mini ITX
Nice board, bad service 09/20/2011
This review is from: ZOTAC IONITX-F-E Intel Atom 330 (1.6GHz, dual-core) MCP7A-ION Mini ITX Motherboard/CPU Combo
Quiet, low heat, Runs Win7/XMBC/1080p no problem. Great board for an HTPC as long as you don't need an RMA.
No advanced RMA option. You need to send in your item, wait several days for processing then days more for return shipping.
Other Thoughts:
No advanced RMA? Really? Even if I pay a free? No? Wow, even Dell does that! You're not going to repair my board, so just ship me my replacement the next day and let me use that packing material to return the defective one back. Bill me the price of the board and shipping now, credit back the board charge when you get the defective unit back. Simple. Just ask any of your competitors.
Seriously, this is the first piece of PC tech that I could not get an advanced RMA for... and I've worked in hardware support for years. Having a system down for over a week just isn't acceptable service these days.

Air travellers would fly out of the brand new domestic departure terminal 1-D of Delhi airport from Sunday. It would replace the 70-year-old terminal 1-B but that would happen in phases, so expect some confusion for at least one month.
The new terminal has almost double the space compared to 1-B and double the number of security channels and check-in counters. The first airlines to shift from 1B to the new terminal would be Jet Airways and JetLite.
Most airlines would operate from the new terminal but Air India (domestic) and MDLR Airlines would stay on at terminal 1-A. Go Air and Jagson Airlines too would shift to 1-A instead of 1D. The final schedule of shifting is yet to be announced by Delhi International Airport Ltd. (DIAL).
As three different terminals will operate for at least a month, passengers who don't know from where their airline operates would have a tough time moving between terminals. But DIAL said it would deploy golf carts to ferry passengers from terminal to terminal.
A DIAL spokesman said there would be signs to guide passengers to the right terminal and more than 30 trial runs have been carried out over the past four months. DIAL will also distribute leaflets and deploy marshals to inform flyers.
Traffic routing at the domestic terminal would also be changed. Passengers would reach the first floor of 1-D by driving up a ramp where all security checks would take place. For boarding, passengers would come downstairs.
Only cars would be allowed on the ramp. Buses and pedestrians would reach the terminal's ground floor.
DIAL has taken the help of experts from Munich Airport to ensure smooth shifting of operations from 1-B to 1-D.

Pirates Notebook: Harrison Feeling Comfortable at Shortstop
Pirates Notebook
Photo by Mark Olson
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- Over 18 games during Grapefruit League action, Josh Harrison has played at third, second and shortstop. Harrison, 24, is making progress at short during spring training. He is battling for a backup utility role, which would include playing games at short when Clint Barmes needs rest.
"He's making progress," Pirates Manager Clint Hurdle said of Harrison at short. "There have been a couple balls that have challenged him, throws, a part of it. Just re-acclimating himself to that part of the diamond. He played there a long time ago, but we started the process early with [work at the] Instructional League. We're feeding him all the innings we can feed him this spring."
"He made a beautiful play [Tuesday], up the middle. Big time. Beautiful pl...

The Philadelphia Camp Meeting and Excursion Society of the Methodist Episcopal
Church was chartered in March, 1872, but its history actually began nearly two years
earlier in the autumn of 1870 at the Philadelphia Preacher's Meeting.
There, a group of clergymen suggested that their church purchase a grove in the
nearby countryside for the religious and social use of the city's churches and Sunday
A committee was appointed at that meeting to select an appropriate location, one
that was not too far from the city and that could be easily reached by rail
They decided to purchase the farm of Joshua and James Williamson of Aston
Township, Delaware County, which consisted of 148 acres of rolling land, nearly 50
acres of which was woodland.
The work of clearing the grove and preparing it for the summer season began
almost immediately.
The first excursion to the new Camp Meeting followed quickly. On June 4, 1872, the
Ladies Aid Society of the Old Folks Home arrived with 410 adults and 70 children.
In August of 1872, John Wanamaker, a Sunday school superintendant from Bethany
Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, brought 742 children.
A total of 17,915 people paid for excursions to this camp meeting in the first year.
Due to the influx of often thousands of people, services and businesses sprang up
outside the camp meeting grounds to supply camp goers with various necessities. A
post office was built near the camp meeting entrance, and businesses followed.
Among the new businesses were a sawmill and a general store. In addition, the
Baltimore Central railroad built a train station, just northwest of the main entrance.
In the first year, the Camp Grounds hosted over 40 excursions, including a
Temperance Harvest Home and a religious gathering from the Village Green Circuit.
The first Camp Meeting (lasting ten days), drew daily attendances varying between
500 to 5,000 people, and an encampment of nearly 200 tents -- many came by rail.
The Camp Meeting promised to be so profitable for the railroad company that an
agreement was made whereby the railroad company would pay the Association the
sum of ten cents for each child's ticket.
During the first Camp Meeting, 3,549 people came from Philadelphia by rail, 483
from Chester and 155 from Wilmington. Improvements and additions to the Camp
Grounds continued steadily from the earliest times. In 1873, a large restaurant was
constructed, as well as board walks and tent platforms. Over 300 feet of stables
were built as well.
In the same year, plans began for the establishment of a "cottage division" where
worshippers lived in cottages rather than tents.
The appeal of comparatively warm, dry, draft-free lodging eventually overpowered
whatever attraction the tents may have had, and the year 1890 marked the last
season for tents on the Camp Grounds.
One tent actually remained somewhat longer; this was the large tent canopy in
which the Camp Meeting services were held outdoors, in front of the large pavilion.
This practice continued until the tent became too weak to use in 1944. The first
electric lights shone in the cottages at Chester Heights around 1915. But even with
hard roads and reliable electricity, cottagers still needed to carry their water from
wells operated by hand pumps until 1966. At that time, the Cottagers Association
organized the installation of electric pumps, and piped the water to the cottages.
The existing cottages were built between 1874 and the early 1900's. They are
predominantly Victorian in design including gingerbread and balconies. Most are
two stories high, but only one room wide.
Chester Heights Camp Meeting is honored to be listed in the "National Register for
Historic Places" and as an official project of "Save America's Treasures."

Experimental Treatment for Frontal Lobe Injuries
A frontal lobe is frequently involved in a traumatic brain injury (TBI). When the front of the head is struck, the frontal lobes will hit the inside of the skull. The impact can result in injury because the brain is soft (about the consistency of toothpaste). And even when the back of the head is struck, the brain may bounce off the back of the skull, ricochet forward and strike the front of the skull, injuring both the back and front of the brain.
The frontal lobes are responsible for "higher" brain functions, such as planning, decision making, and judgment (which are called "executive functions"). When the frontal lobes are injured, an individual may be indecisive or apathetic and have trouble initiating activity. The frontal lobes are also responsible for regulating, checking, and inhibiting emotions and actions. As a result, some TBI survivors with frontal lobe damage are impulsive, moody, agitated, easily irritable, explosive, or make poor decisions. These survivors are quite vulnerable to becoming substance abusers.
People with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) experience symptoms similar to symptoms experienced by some TBI survivors with frontal lobe damage – difficulty focusing and concentrating, impulsiveness, and poor decision making. One form of treatment for ADHD is a class of medications that includes Ritalin. These drugs stimulate the brain. While giving a stimulant to someone who is hyperactive and impulsive might seem like pouring gasoline on a fire, it is believed that the drugs stimulate the frontal lobes and increase their ability to regulate and control impulsive and inappropriate behavior while enhancing the person's planning and decision making.
Because some of the characteristics of ADHD are similar to the symptoms of some TBI survivors with frontal lobe damage, studies have been performed to determine if medications used to treat ADHD can be helpful in the treatment of TBI. These studies have produced some evidence that Ritalin is helpful with some TBI survivors in improving concentration and reducing impulsivity. A study is currently underway at the University of Washington, one of the model centers in the U.S. for treatment of traumatic brain injuries, to determine if Ritalin improves short term memory (also called working memory) in survivors who have memory impairment.

Deciding If You Should Go
There are many reasons you may want to further your education beyond Brandeis; your chosen field may require an advanced degree, or maybe you're passionate about a subject and want to devote more time to it. To help you decide if graduate or law school is right for you, you will need to:
- Know yourself well. Have you identified your strengths, skills and interests by engaging in active self-reflection?
- Have a thorough understanding of what you're getting into. Have you researched your field and talked with Brandeis alumni and other professionals who do the kind of work you hope to do?
- Understand what you want to do with your degree once you obtain it. Is a PhD required for your goals, or is a Master degree sufficient? If you don't want to actually practice law, is there another degree that will meet your needs?
Deciding When You Should Go
This depends largely upon your field. For law school, it is purely a personal decision; for MBA programs, schools may require previous work experience; while for some PhD programs, it is often expected that you will transition directly from undergraduate to graduate school. Your faculty and Hiatt staff can assist you in this determination.
Graduate & Law School Resources
Whatever your motivations for continuing or returning as a student, staff at the Hiatt Career Center offer you a variety of resources, including:
- One-on-one counseling, including guidance in the crucial decision making points
- Online Guides for Law School and Graduate School that explain the application process in great detail
- Workshops and panels to aid you in learning about your fields of interest by hearing from professionals and current graduate and law students
- Check the Handshake calendar for upcoming events
- Print and online resources regarding graduate programs, applications and testing
All of Hiatt's career counselors hold advances degrees and are here to help guide you through the process, from deciding if and when graduate or law school is right for you to filling out program applications.
Pre-health Advising
Brandeis University offers tailored academic assistance to students in pre-health through Health Professions Advising within the Office of Academic Services. It is available to any student considering a career in the health and health care fields. While many students are interested in pursuing their MD degree after Brandeis, there are a variety of other health professions Health Professions Advising addresses.
The Hiatt Career Center can also assist students and alumni interested in health-related graduate programs (e.g. psychology, biology, and neuroscience) and regularly works with pre-health students to prepare for graduate and medical school interviews.

Did I get dooped?! Eas aurora v2
Bought these angel eyes from a forum member. Just wanted to check with anyone who has aurora v2 if these look the same.
I paid $95 for aurora v2's it came with the instructions for the auroras but the angel eyes I got do not look like the ones in the pictures on the instructions, the AE I have seem yellow and the AE's in the instructions are white. The clips are different than the ones in the instructions as well. Plus the quality seems a bit shoddy ... If anyone who has any knowledge on the auroras or anyone who has a set can chime in I would appreciate the feedback

Would you butt or miter a butcher block counter top if...
Okay, while it seems simple on the surface, here is my dilema..
I have two counter runs that need to intersect at right angles (luckily 90 degrees)..
I have 1-1/2" thick solid oak butcher block counter tops from that Swedish place. :wink:
The counter tops have a 1/4" radius chamfer on all edges.
The counter tops I have are 96 & 72 inches long.
One run is 104" and the one adjoining it will be 50"
If I miter join the counter tops, I will need to seam in roughly 8" on the corner of the long run (biscuits/glue?).
If I butt join them, I will need to make a fresh cut on the 50" run to remove the chamfered edge.
Personally I think that mitered butcher block would look better, but as you can tell, the amount of effort expended to do it this way would be considerable.
Getting a counter top longer than 8' is not possible I am told by our friends at the Swedish place.
So what would you do?
Regards - Randy
I'd mitre then router out on the back side for a flip bolt or a counter top bolt so it would be fully adjustable for heigth.
Reason you need to buy from "that Swedish Place" is? They are a catalog, not a custom kitchen operation. Why not get the countertop you want in the length you want from a kitchen supplier that can get the lengths you need?
I have butcherblock countertops from "that swedish place" also.
One of them is L-shaped (so 2 pieces coming together). I went with a different approcach since I was Waterloxing them. I left the miter alone, fastened both of them together with those big clamping bolts, screwed them down to the counter and then filled the gap with wood filler. Then waterlox on top of that. It blends in surprisingly well, plus it's watertight. I can spill redwine on it and come down the next morning and just wipe it up with a damp paper towel.
Thanks guys...
I've been doing my homework and it seems that many people are saying (including the Swedes at you know where) to not miter butcher block but to join them in the "L" shape with a butt joint. Apparently the expansion rates of the butcher block are different with the diagonal joint and that this will lead to a failure in the join. I've never done butcheer block before so I guess I have to give this some consideration too. The lady insists on the Swede's place for the counter, or I would have gone elsewhere. Although I have to say that this is a darned fine looking slab of wood!
Waterlox - looking into this stuff.. Seems a bit pricey, but will deliver a "no apologies" finish if I take care in application. I was thinking about some sort of tung oil or mineral oil. The Swedes recommend Behandla treatment. I might look into that as well.
Okay - one last question. When I join these two - should I attempt to bpnd them or just use the bolt system from the bottom side? I think I know the answer but thought I would check with you..
Thanks again - all of you...
Regards - Randy
I used 3 of these and it hasn't moved a milimeter since February.
The only pain w/ waterlox is that it STINKS as it dries, you need to wait 24 hrs between coats and in order to get the counters bulletproof you need 4 coats.
Yes I have purchased a very similar setup for tieing the two countertops together.. Good to know that it works well for you...
I checked with the local big box stores on Waterlox as well as a couple of dedicated paint stores. They all tried selling me "something better", but none of them had any samples for me to look at.
I looked around online and this is the best deal I could find on WaterLox;
I have to Wonder how much of this I am going to need.. I have roughly 16' of countertop.
Also would I apply this before I drop in the sink? I would like to seal the sink in with a good thick bead of RTV sealant and wonder if it would even stick to the Waterlox...
Thanks for the help!
Regards - Randy
I got mine from Woodcraft. There's one in Minneapolis, I'm not sure how far that is from you but I don't see why they wouldn't ship it.
I only have 10 feet of countertop if you subtract my mammoth sink in the middle, but one quart was enough for 2 coats on the bottoms and 4 coats on the tops and sides of my 3 pieces (4.5 foot x 2 and 1 foot). I also put 4 coats on a 2.5" piece of butcherblock I had left over from a project at my parents place and I still have around 1/5 or 1/4 of the quart left.
I can only imagine what they tried to sell you at the big box stores..... Call me old school, but my grandpa always told me "If it's oil based then you can't freaking clean it with soap and water".
By the way ... Get some cheap gloves, waterlox sucks to get on your hands.
I don't think you'll have a problem with silicone, my farmhouse sink is siliconed in and it sticks to it just fine. Waterlox is funny, sometimes it feels "sticky" even though it isn't. We have these slip-resistant bowls with this rubber insert on the bottom for traction and if you leave one sitting on the counter a while, it almost "pops" when you pick it back up, but there's nothing on the counter ... it's hard to explain.
Yep - got the Waterlox at Woodcraft in our area (actually Bloomington MN). $70 or a gallon, but I will have more than half of it leftover for the next project..
Really odd stuff. Tung oil with polyurethane in it... I put the first coat on the bottoms of the counters and it seemed dry, yet oddly tacky after 24 hours. I guess this is consistent with your observations. I wonder if it hardens up even more after a few months?
The stuff I got was the medium shine as the high gloss would acentuate any inconsistencies in the surface as well as the butt joint.
Regards - Randy
Yeah, it dries in a very weird way - i'm glad you are experiencing it yourself now, because it's really hard to explain haha. For my first coat I think I actually wiped down the surface after about 20 minutes with a lint free rag.
When you are done, spend extra time sealing the container, this stuff likes to start the hardening process (however slow it may be) as soon as oxygen hits it.
Pete, did you sand your counters at all beween coats? If so, what grit paper?
I will be reinstalling the counter tops in the next couple of nights and then sand with 120 / 220 / 320 finish, then the 4 coats of Waterlox. If I can figure out how, I will post up pictures here..
Thanks again..
Regards - Randy
I did sand, but only once. After coat # 2 or # 3 - I think it was after coat # 2. I used one of those "brillo pad" looking things that barely sanded, really just took out the imperfections and made the finish dull. Then wiped it down w/ a damp rag and let it dry before the next coat. Good luck, it's a PITA when you do it, but it comes out great.
Hi Pete,
I'm assuming that you used a ScotchBrite pad.. I will try that on a test piece and report back.. The first coat seems to have bubbled up a lot of crud that was embedded in the grain.. I need to level that stuff out..
Regards - Randy
No worries, better for it to show up now than after coat # 4. Coat # 4 is the one that had me lying awake that night .....
Just sand it until it's smooth - then clean the heck out of it and reapply another coat when it's dry. Worst case you could apply a 5th coat - you should have enough since you bought the "big-boy" one. I don't really think there is such a thing as too many coats. I rest assured knowing that a few years from now when we've beaten up the counters I can just take a weekend and sand them and give them another coat or two.
I went five relatively heavy coats Pete and it looks glorious!
Great recommendation! :thumbsup:
Here's some pics for you...
I have refinished the edges since install

The world famous El Dorado Rums are produced from the diamond distillery on a large expanse of land, once a sugar plantation, on the East Bank of the county of Demerara, Guyana. The story of Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL) begins in 1670 with the amalgamation of local sugar cane producers under the guidance of early European explorers.
The sparsely populated country of Guyana in South America represents the meeting of several distinct cultures over the years - from African to Indian and British to Brasilian - while the vast unspoilt rainforest shelters a plethora of rare wildlife, making Guyana the modern eco-tourist's paradise.
Having the only distillery in the region to survive to the present day, DDL is committed to preserving age-old production techniques and operates the only remaining wooden Coffey still in the world as well as the only wooden pot still - both of which contribute to the distinctive flavour profiles of the rums in the El Dorado stable.
All El Dorado Rums are produced strictly

I've been told I need to replace front and back disks and pads. I'm wondering how much an upgrade on the brakes would be? Since Im going to remap anyway.
You see in the picture that the calliper is quite rusted, thats why I think an upgrade would better suited than just replacing the disk/pads?
Any thoughts?

Does OK have a training requirement?
This is a discussion on Moving to Florida. within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I hope this is the right place for such a question. My wife has accepted a nursing position at the VA Medical Center in West ...
I hope this is the right place for such a question. My wife has accepted a nursing position at the VA Medical Center in West Palm Beach and we will be moving later this summer. Will I be required to take a Florida state carry/safety course in order to obtain my Florida state handgun permit, or since I have my Oklahoma permit, would I just have to submit the proper paperwork for a Florida permit? Thanks in advance.
Does OK have a training requirement?

Its an 8 hour course that goes over gun safety, state laws, and range time with 50 rounds to show you can safely handle and shoot a firearm. That's just for your permit, you can take additional defensive training courses to gain valuable tactics and knowledge to use in a (hope you never have to use them) defensive situation.
OP, are you prior military? If so I believe your DD214 with suffice for your training, I believe FL also accepts hunter safety, but don't know if they accept another states hunter safety certificate.

If you are moving you are changing your legal state of residence, which I am sure means you will have to go through the Florida training and permit application process.

First,if your course qualifies for FL permit you are ok or take a new course. You can also use DD214 if you are a vet.
BTW, the West Palm Beach VAMC is one of the top rated in the country if not the top rated.
I know because I volunteer there.

Florida will recognise your OK permit.
As soon as you establish residency in FL, call the Dept. of Agriculture to transfer your OK permit.
"Don't shout for help at night, you may wake your neighbors"
Permits are only good for 7 years here, so they may require you to take another course. The course is not 8 hour mandatory, I took mine at Harry Beckwith in Micanopy (about 2-3hrs from you) and it was 1-6pm, fully accredited NRA class. We shot about 50 rounds. It was 75 plus the 20 for ammo, so 95 bucks total, not bad. Can't remember if it was one or two hundred for the permit with digital fingerprint submission, your best bet is to go to one of the "Fast Track" regional offices, yours would be Tampa.
wish I was going being applying for Florida jobs
I would rather live my life as if there is a God,
And die to find out there isn't, than live my life
As if there isn't, and die to find out there is.
God Bless
I'm seeing a lot of misinformation here. When I moved here I wasn't able to "transfer" my TN permit but I didn't have to take the class.
If you have a certificate from when you took your OK class that should suffice provided it meets the requirements. I was able to show I took a class from an NRA instructor.
You can request the packet here.

Welcome to the Gunshine state.
You will have 90 days to obtain a FL CWFL once you establish residency (FL DL, register to vote, etc.), not starting when you enter FL. Your OK permit will be valid during that 90 days. I don't know about any transferring of your OK permit, but the 90 days is the time FL has to issue you one.
As long as your training meets the criteria of the FL requirements it will be accepted with proof of attendance. If it was NRA approved it's good. An 8-hour course is certainly longer than the Wham-Bam-Thank-you-Ma'am CC courses they run at the gun shows. There is a regional Dept. of Agriculture & Consumer Services office in WPB that will hasten the processing.

When you get your address in Florida, change it from OK, and you become a resident. The only differences are in reciprocity - some states do not allow reciprocity, unless you are a state resident of the permit.
Are you sure that your OK is no good after your leave? Does the state have non-resident?

Reproduction pressures and rising fertility explain why women suffered a more rapid decline in dental health than did men as humans transitioned from hunter-and-gatherers to farmers and more sedentary pursuits, says a University of Oregon anthropologist.
The conclusion follows a comprehensive review of records of the frequencies of dental cavities in both prehistoric and living human populations from research done around the world. A driving factor was dramatic changes in female-specific hormones, reports John R. Lukacs, a professor of anthropology who specializes in dental, skeletal and nutritional issues.
His conclusions are outlined in the October issue of Current Anthropology. The study examined the frequency of dental caries (cavities) by sex to show that women typically experience poorer dental health than men. Among research reviewed were studies previously done by Lukacs. Two clinical dental studies published this year (one done in the Philippines, the other in Guatemala) and cited in the paper, Lukacs said, point to the same conclusions and "may provide the mechanism through which the biological differences are mediated."
A change in food production by agrarian societies has been associated with an increase in cavities. Anthropologists have attributed men-women differences to behavioral factors, including a sexual division of labor and dietary preferences. However, Lukacs said, clinical and epidemiological literature from varied ecological and cultural settings reveals a clear picture of the impacts on women's oral health.
"The role of female-specific factors has been denied by anthropologists, yet they attain considerable importance in the model proposed here, because the adoption of agriculture is associated with increased sedentism and fertility," Lukacs said. "I argue that the rise of agriculture increased demands on women's reproductive systems, contributing to an increase in fertility that intensified the negative impact of dietary change on women's oral health. The combined impacts of increased fertility, dietary changes and division of labor during the move into agricultural societies contributed to the widespread gender differential observed in dental caries rates today."
Lukacs' meta-analysis looked at both prehistoric anthropological and modern health records. He repeatedly found that increases in cavities go in favor of women in adulthood. Lukacs' review found that women's higher rates of cavities are influenced by three main changes:
How the factors combine to contribute to higher risk of cavities in women as they age is not fully documented or understood, he wrote. "However, if hormonal and physiological factors work in an independent or additive manner, their impact on women's oral health could be significant. The fact that women's caries experience increases with age at a greater rate than men's in diverse ethnic groups from different ecological and cultural settings supports this interpretation."
The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, American Institute of Indian Studies, American Philosophical Society, L.S.B. Leakey Foundation, National Geographic Society, National Science Foundation and Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research supported the project.

A fun sub with some great cons to run next time the PC's ar ein the city and the GM is looking for a quick filler adventure or way to add some "local color" to the trip.
43. I'm Not Sure How It's Done
This con usually involves a laborer who deliberately is doing a shoddy job at a task, making an obvious display of frustration and struggling to get it "right." Upon noticing their plight a sympathetic mark will usually be eager to show them how to "get it right the first time" and start doing the job for them.
The con itself comes when the trainee pretends to continually struggle at the task still not grasping the instruction, hoping for the "skilled teacher" to either finish the task while trying to show them how to do it, or getting fed up and doing it themselves as an example of "how easy this is."
When confronted with someone who seems as if they are about to walk away from assisting the con will often beg for help and site the painful unjust punishments that will await them if they don't finish the task on time in the correct manner.
Go to Comment
When done right this con can get an otherwise difficult (or boring) task done by another saving them the labor, while letting them keep the profit and gain the praise for doing the job. A skilled con will offer up a small portion of copper, (usually a fraction for the jobs actual pay) as "thanks" for saving from unemployment often claiming it to be the full payment for the job itself.

Religious Girls' School Fails To Integrate Ashkenazic and Sephardic Students
A religious girls' school in the Israeli town of Emmanuel — a school that first made headlines in 2008 when it was discovered that Sephardic students were separated from Ashkenazic students both in and out of the classroom — is back in the news. Though its ethnic segregation was declared illegal by the Supreme Court, the school has yet to comply with orders for integration.
The two groups had separate curricula, separate classrooms, separate staff rooms and separate yards delineated by a cement wall to prevent interaction. Following a national outcry, led by the Sephardic feminist organization Achoti, and the organizations Noar KaHalakha and Tmura, the courts intervened and eventually ruled that the segregation was illegal. But the school last week was declared in contempt of court and ordered to pay a 5,000 NIS ($1,400) fine for every day that it remain segregated.
According to Deputy Education Minister Meir Porush, of United Torah Judaism, any Sephardic girl who wants to be in the "hassidic" track can get in, as long as she agrees to speak Hebrew with an Ashkenazi accent and give up Sephardic customs at home. Segregation has been "justified" on the grounds that the Sephardic girls are on a "lower spiritual level" than Ashkenazic girls. Porush claims that 30% of the girls in the "hassidic" track have Sephardic origins and have agreed to the school's ethnic demands, while the 74 girls who are separated out are the ones who apparently refuse to comply.
"The girls get the message that they are deformed, that they are less good, that there is something inherently wrong with them," Yael Ben Yefet, one of the leaders of Achoti, said during a protest in 2008 outside the Supreme Court.
"This repulsive and mentally abusive treatment towards Mizrahi students has already inflicted profound damage," writes Attorney Yael Biton. "The students have expressed deep feelings of pain, discrimination, shame, confusion, poor self-esteem, and inferiority to their Ashkenazic fellows."
Rabbi Shalom Elyashiv, a senior leader of the Ashkenazic community in Emmanuel, has declared the Supreme Court order for equality "dreadful," and has been encouraging his followers to disobey the ruling and even go to jail.
In addition, the Slonimer rebbe ordered his followers who live in Emmanuel not to abide by the court ruling and said, "I am willing to be the first to sit in prison over this issue….Jews sat in Russian prisons over their children's education."
It's not only just Emmanuel, but also in other religious girls' schools around Israel. In the Bais Yaakov school in Elad, for example, parents protested to ensure that a Sephardic girl would not be allowed in to the class. Even in Jerusalem, 200 Sephardic girls were left without a school to go to back in 2006 when the Bais Yaakov schools refused to admit them. "In the Emanuel case," writes Ben Yefet, "Tmura and Achoti have, for the first time, been given permission by Sephardic rabbinical authorities to take this very disturbing issue to a secular court due to its severe circumstances."
But the battle is hardly won, according to Ben Yefet: "The main problem in combating anti-Mizrahi discrimination in the education system is that this discrimination is largely hidden, and there is little or no public awareness of this issue."

By the way I know understand the importance of that rear bow location! I couldn't understand why it was such a big deal, NOW I understand! I figured that bow goes up and down, the top will fold up and down no matter if that bow was an inch forward or back, what is the big deal I thought. But you have NO ROOM for error being that second to the front how holds that loop of cloth on the underside of the top that limits where that top can go, that and the flaps at the quarter window rails that top simply has to be put in one very narrow area, VERY narrow, you have no room for error. The location of rear bow to the second bow is what is most important. The rear bow height is going to fall into place but that darn distance between the second and the last bow has GOT TO BE right on. When I went back and found that one side was down a little I corrected it and boy o boy am I glad I did! That little seam at sewn into the top at the end of the rear upper valance wouldn't have been anywhere near that bow! I would have to put the wire on below it, man would that have looked like crap. Actually I would have pulled it all off and done it over. But yes that is very critical.

Room for a speedo-cable on Muncie M20?
2 Attachment(s)
So, nearing completion of the tranny swap-(700R4 to Muncie M20). I currently have an electric speedometer, and the Muncie takes a mechanical cable. Just install the conversion kit right? So I bought one, and there's no room to fit it between the shift linkage. In fact, being a newbie at this, is there really any room for a mechanical cable? (Do I need to change the speedo to a mechanical?)
See attached photos.....
I've used offset ratio adaptors to miss linkage before. They make 90* ones too. MIght find something here that would work.
Speedometer Gear, Speedometer Gears, Ford, GM, Dodge 700R4
Thanks for the suggestions guys.
I am thinking I can attach a short mechanical cable (I hope I can get it in there between linkage), then install the convertor on the other end of the cable, which will enable me to run a wire to the electric speedo?
If so, just need to figure a way to support/mount the short cable/convertor assembly.....
Some of the early cruise contols actually worked off of a drive mounted on the firewall. The speedo cable went to the firewall to the cruise adapter and then from the firewall to the speedo. Bottom line is your idea should work fine.

Born in Tokyo and working in Minneapolis since the 1960s, Kinji Akagawa combines the elegant simplicity of Japanese aesthetics with a deep concern for the impact of art on public places. He strives to invite private activities such as reading, thinking, and even writing into the "street" furniture he creates and incorporates common, local materials into their context. The bench he created for the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden combines unfinished green basalt from Minnesota, a vertical base of highly polished granite from South Dakota, and a horizontal slab of cedar that recalls forests from the region's past. The three elements retain their separate and unique characteristics as they combine to create an elegant whole that invites us to rest, read, and reflect in the Garden.
