Duda Farm Fresh Foods Announces New Celery Patents
OVIEDO, FL (January 6, 2012) – Duda Farm Fresh Foods continues its leadership in celery innovation and announces today that the company has been granted seven new patents for their celery varieties.
Duda is a leader in celery development and has invested decades of time and research, using traditional plant breeding methods, to create the perfect tasting celery that fits into consumer lifestyles.
"Our proprietary varieties have been nurtured and developed over many decades based on our research which tells us that color, quality and flavor are of the utmost importance to consumers," said Dan Duda, president and chief operating officer of Duda Farm Fresh Foods. "Our goal is to meet and exceed these consumer expectations every time they purchase a Duda Farm Fresh Foods celery product."
Duda's Manager of Seed Research, Dr. Larry Pierce, has devoted his career to developing celery seed varieties that set Duda Farm Fresh Foods apart from other celery growers.
"We are developing celery to improve two of the major points that customers have been concerned with. One is texture and the other is flavor," said Dr. Pierce.
"We are putting our best eating quality into this product. Our varieties have been developed specifically to ensure that the consumer enjoys a crunchy texture with minimal strings and a sweet flavor that they want to consume again and again."
The patents cover both Duda's "Sweet Sensations" and "Celery Sensations" varieties, each with unique attributes and benefits to the consumer. Three of the varieties are specialized "Celery Sensations" varieties developed with a special hollow stem to create high quality, natural celery straws. The "Sweet Sensations" varieties are special developments specifically focused on quality of flavor, including special classes for Duda's fresh-cut celery sticks that provide a consistent quality on a year-round basis.
In addition to these varieties, Duda submitted five additional applications to the patent office earlier this year for new developments.
"Duda Farm Fresh Foods remains committed to taking innovation in celery development to the next level," said Dan Duda. "When you taste it, you will realize the difference."
Duda Farm Fresh Foods has primary locations in Florida, Texas, California, Arizona, Georgia and Michigan. Duda Farm Fresh Foods is a wholly owned subsidiary of DUDA, a family-owned, diversified land company headquartered in Oviedo, Florida.

Springhill Home Care Group Korea Reviews Seoul Employs Elderly to Tackle Phone Waste
South Koreans are among the world's most frequent phone upgraders, buying about 15 million new mobile phones each year, according to a recent report by market research firm DigiEco.
One of the problems that create is the handling of all the discarded older phones.
To tackle the issue of electronics waste, or e-waste, the Seoul city government started a program called Eco City in 2009 to collect used electronics. It runs a waste handling facility called Seoul Resource Center in the northeast of the capital and employs elderly or low-income people to break them down and process the parts.
Eco City is unique in that it is an entirely government-funded and directed operation. In Tokyo, the municipal government invited private companies to set up recycling facilities, while China has struggled to deal with large amounts of e-waste both produced domestically and imported.
Seoul's Eco City says each discarded mobile phone has between 2,500 won and 4,000 won (about US$2.23-$3.50) worth of metals in it, including rare earth metals such as neodymium.
At intervals of six months or a year, companies can bid to purchase the waste that has been gathered and sorted by Eco City. Whatever can't be sold or reused is incinerated.
Eco City Chief Executive Lee Dong-hyun explains that the program was conceived after identifying a way that e-waste could be useful.
"Our country lacks natural resources. We started this center after we realized that a lot of the kinds of things we need, like metals, were already in the country but were being thrown out," he said.
Private recyclers also handle e-waste but generally just extract the most valuable parts from items and discard, or in some cases export, the rest.
Some say that in addition to handling e-waste with more care, it would also be helpful to change South Korea's culture of frequently replacing electronics, so as to limit the amount of waste that is created in the first place.
"We buy new devices not because what we have actually needs to be replaced, but just because we want something newer, with a nicer design or some new features," said Lee Won-young of the Korea Association of Electronics Environment, an industry group.

Larry Cohler-Esses, assistant managing editor of the Forward, has won the second annual David Twersky Journalism Award for his April 19, 2012, exclusive Cairo interview with Mousa Abu Marzook, Hamas's second-highest-ranking official.
Established in honor of Twersky's distinguished life in journalism, the award recognizes the work of journalists at the Forward and at the New Jersey Jewish News, the two publications for which Twersky worked for nearly two decades. The judges look for pieces that reflect Twersky's passion for Israel and his concern for politics on a local and global scale.
Cohler-Esses traveled to Cairo just before Passover of 2012. Egypt was in the throes of the Arab Spring, and Hamas officials appeared to be saying intriguing but contradictory things. Cohler-Esses was in search of the Hamas's true position. The interview was on the record, without preconditions and with no topic or question proscribed in advance.
As well as the dangers of the trip, the Forward was mindful of both the historic nature of this opportunity and the risk that the representation of the discussion could be manipulated or misconstrued. It was the first time a high-ranking Hamas official had spoken to the Jewish press, hence Cohler-Esses was scrupulous in conveying the context and nuance of Abu Marzook's words, in detail and at length.
To give adequate scope to that nuance, the article totaled more than 5,000 words. It was vitally important, but also engaging, not least because both men were so clearly profoundly interested in the other's worldview. It was a milestone in American Jewish journalism and received widespread acclaim.
"The mission of the judges was to find that one piece that David would have considered most remarkable," noted Amir Cohen, who headed the judges committee. Cohen worked with Twersky at both publications, and founded the award in his friend's memory.
Also on the committee were Twersky's children, Anna and Michael Twersky; Connecticut Jewish Ledger Publisher Ricky Greenfield, and former American Jewish Press Association President Elana Kahn-Oren. "This interview is a monumental achievement for the Forward, and it is no surprise the judges found it worthy of this year's award," Michael Twersky added.
The committee also named three runners-up, in order: "FEMA on the Bimah" by the Forward's editor-in-chief, Jane Eisner; "Asylum Seekers" by New Jersey Jewish News' Debra Rubin, and "Mission Possible" by last year's winner, Andrew Silow-Carroll, the editor-in-chief of the Jewish News.
Cohler-Esses will receive a medal and a $1,000 honorarium at an award ceremony in May.

News Release Article from
Archived - Scientific Team Returns from Experimental Mission in the Arctic - New Insight about Use of Unmanned Technology for Future Arctic Operations

September 04, 2014 - Ottawa, ON, Defence Research and Development Canada
A team of Department of National Defence (DND) scientists, technicians, and project staff have returned from a successful mission to test unmanned technology in Arctic conditions, the first time such an experiment has been undertaken in an Arctic environment.
The Canadian Armed Forces Joint Arctic Experiment (CAFJAE) Scientific Team, led by Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC), conducted a total of 34 experiments at Canadian Forces Station (CFS) Alert, using two unmanned ground vehicles and one unmanned air vehicle, to address some of the challenges the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) faces when operating in the Arctic, where infrastructure and population are sparse and where it is expensive to keep staff to operate and maintain equipment.
Quick Facts
- The Joint Arctic Experiment 2014 team of 14 military and civilian DND personnel carried out experiments from August 18 to 26, 2014, at CFS Alert, Nunavut.
- Search and rescue, hazard mitigation, and communication capabilities were tested to determine if unmanned systems could be viable options to support future CAF operations.
- The Joint Arctic Experiment examined issues such as: how to deploy these vehicles to the remote North; how this technology performs in the Arctic environment; and, how unmanned systems can extend the CAF's ability to operate in this remote area. This will provide unique insight into new capabilities that might contribute to the CAF's commitment to operating in the Canadian Arctic.
- The CAF already uses unmanned vehicles for a range of missions, including responding to chemical, biological, radioactive, nuclear and explosive incidents, as well as to perform surveillance activities.
"I would like to extend my congratulations to the entire CAFJAE team for their innovative initiative of repurposing military research technology to advance Canada's ability to operate better in our Arctic. Our Government recognizes the importance of Canada's Arctic, and the need for the Canadian Armed Forces to have the ability to operate in challenging Arctic conditions."
Honourable Rob Nicholson, Minister of National Defence
"Experimental missions like CAFJAE are important in our quest to find new ways to meet the demands required to successfully carry out military operations in Canada's Arctic. This experimental mission in Alert clearly demonstratesthe potential opportunities and challenges that come with operating this technology. It greatly benefits not only theCanadian Armed Forces, but also our government partners in the North."Dr. Marc Fortin, Assistant Deputy Minister, Science and Technology, Department of National Defence
"Unmanned systems offer many potential benefits to the Canadian Armed Forces, but we must carefully study the strengths and weaknesses of these technologies before moving forward. Our CAFJAE experience in Alert has shown that this technology could support some difficult tasks the CAF might need to complete in the Arctic. The project team deployed vehicles into situations that might be dangerous or difficult for a Canadian Armed Forces responder at a remote location to support search and rescue and hazardous material operations. For the team, the best lessons identify the real-world challenges the Arctic poses to these systems. These are lessons that guide our research and form our recommendations to the Canadian Armed Forces."Dr. Simon Monckton, Lead Scientist CAFJAE 2014, Defence Research and Development Canada

The Other Moms
Yesterday Girlfriend and I went for a walk in the woods.
It was a long meandering walk with the pooch following her nose.
With camera in hand I thought we just might be lucky enough to find a newborn fawn. After-all with Mother's Day at hand mama deer might have a just-in-time delivery.
No fawns on this excursion but we didn't return home empty-handed either. My advice - always look beneath that wonderful wildlife tree - the white spruce.
Someone once said that all mothers are working moms.
Outdoor moms have their work cut-out for them.
Since today is mom's special day I want to take the opportunity to salute those unsung moms who toil under a different set of conditions to rear their young...
Wild moms.
Like mama mourning dove
And mama wild turkey
How cunningly nature hides every wrinkle of her inconceivable antiquity under roses and violets and morning dew.

Saturday practice notes: Rejuvenated Knicks, pressing issues & five for fighting
|03.03.12 at 5:31 pm ET
It seems every time the Celtics and Knicks play one another this year each team is going through a tipping point of some kind. The Celtics dropped their first three games of the season beginning with a 106-104 loss on Christmas Day at Madison Square Garden.
The next time the two Atlantic division foes met was early February at TD Garden Garden. The Celtics prevailed, 91-89, as they were amidst a streak that saw them win 10 of 12 games. Meanwhile, the loss was New York's 11th in 13 games.
Then Jeremy Lin happened. The Harvard University standout invigorated the Knicks, while also seemingly taking over the entire sports landscape, leading New York to wins in 10 of their 13 games since their loss to the Celtics.
Doc Rivers, who said he had written in his game notes that he was impressed with Lin during his limited action in the Feb. 3 matchup, thinks the Cinderella story is good for the league.
"The kid has played terrific basketball," Rivers said Saturday afternoon, following the Celtics walk-through. "He's earned it. He's clearly made them a better team."
It's not only that Lin played great. He performed when the team was in dire need of a spark due to injuries, something Rivers can appreciate.
"He bridged a great gap," Rivers said. "When Carmelo [Anthony] and [Amar'e] Stoudemire were down, they needed someone to pick their team up while they were injured. The thing about us is when Kevin [Garnett], [Rajon] Rondo and Brandon [Bass] were out, we lost all of our games. When Carmelo and Stoudemire went out they won all their games because someone else stepped up and picked them up. I think that is wonderful. I don't like it because they're in our division, but I think it's good for the league."
On the other hand, the Celtics have struggled since the last meeting, but have found some semblance of momentum, winning their first three contests after the All-Star break. At 18-17, the Celtics find themselves just one game ahead of the Knicks in the loss column, making Sunday's game that much more important.
"It's an important game for both teams," Rivers said. "I always find that to be good during the regular season. I think every game after the break is a measuring stick game. It's just a grind game for now on. And I think our guys have joined that mentality, so that's good."
The Celtics full-court press proved to be an effective, yet unexpected, defensive wrinkle in last night's 107-94 victory against the Nets. Rondo spearheaded the decision to implement the scheme, which helped force 11 steals and played part in a few of New Jersey's turnovers.
"It caught me off guard," explained Avery Bradley. "But Rondo ' he's the leader of our team ' and he is the one that put us in it. It worked out for us. I think he's going to call it tomorrow too, most likely."
Bradley, who Paul Pierce called one of the best on-the-ball defenders in the entire NBA earlier this season, beamed with excitement when asked about the impact the press had on the game.
"What makes it so tough is that we're doing it after made baskets," he said. "Teams are like, 'Dang we just got scored on and now they're picking us up full court.' We don't get to practice much, so us doing it in a game shows how good we could be if we were doing it in practice too."
Jermaine O'Neal is still wrestling with the decision of whether or not to have season-ending surgery on his left wrist. While O'Neal is certainly a valuable defensive presence, Rivers reiterated Bass' insertion into the starting lineup was imminent before the injury.
"Kevin has been fantastic at the five," Rivers said. "Having all these moving parts has been good for us. I had made the decision before the injury. Before the All-Star break, I told the guys when Brandon and Kevin come back that will be our starting lineup."
Garnett has flourished playing center for the Celtics. His 20 points (10-of-13 shooting) and 10 rebounds in last night's win marked the fifth time in six games Garnett has registered a double-double.
"We've sort of shifted up a little bit here," Garnett said Friday night. "We're trying to be more athletic, and trying to get out and run more. It's all good with me as long as we get wins at the end of the day."
Despite the production, the Big Ticket said playing the biggest position isn't necessarily a burning desire, but understands the importance of filling the role.
"When it comes to preference, I enjoy the four," Garnett said. "There's a lot more versatility in the four. In the five you're kind of stuck in cement. There is not a lot of variation in the five position. This is what it is. I'm enjoying it. I'm doing whatever I can do give my team an advantage."

Local runners safe after explosions
Scott Bowman was still shaken, still plucking shrapnel from his hair, still struggling to hear out of one ear hours after two deadly explosions rocked the Boston Marathon on Monday afternoon.
Bowman, an Indiana resident, estimates he was no more than 30 feet from the blasts after he and Cathy Swauger finished the race and were waiting near the finish line to greet their spouses, who were still on the course.
"It was just so loud and just blew us over," Bowman said by phone at 7 p.m. Monday evening, about four hours after the terrorist attack that killed three people and wounded more than 125.
"People were running away and I looked back and there was just blood everywhere. The only thing protecting Cathy and me — and I hate to say it — was a couple more people. I turned around and saw a leg, and it wasn't attached to anything. Thank God we weren't a little closer."
Bowman's and Swauger's first thoughts were for their spouses, Aileen and John. Runners still on the course were rerouted away from the finish line, so they spent 90 frantic minutes trying to track them down.
"All I could think of was Aileen trying to cross right there," Bowman said. "We couldn't find them and they couldn't find us. We eventually found the hotel where they were rerouted to, but when we got there, they had sent them somewhere else because they found another bomb there. We eventually met up. Poor Aileen, she was crying."
Bowman said his wife was about a half-mile from the finish line and Swauger about another half-mile behind her when the bombs went off.
"All I can tell you is I'm glad we're OK," he said. "They were still on the course, and we were going to walk down about another 100 feet to wait for them, but we decided to stay where we were. Had we walked down a little further we would have been even closer. Right away we knew it was a bomb. We knew right away it was two bombs.
"When you look at it on TV and see all those flags, seven or eight flags down, that's how close we were. I still have shrapnel in my hair, and I'm still having trouble hearing out of my right ear. There was some really serious stuff. It's sad."
The Bowmans, Swaugers and Mike Hodak, all members of the Indiana Road Runners Club, made the trek to Boston to run in the annual race. Hodak had already finished ahead of Bowman and Swauger.
"I feel bad for the victims," Bowman said. "It's senseless. It's a shame somebody had to do that. The training involved for all these athletes, it's just a shame. I feel bad for the victims and their families."

Weird Distributor problems.
I recently bought a classic truck with a fresh goodwrench 350.
It has an HEI distributor that is not fresh, but working will enough.
It started nicely and ran well. Had a slight occassional miss at warm idle.
I put in a new set of MSD 8.5 mm plug wires. It ran better. I pulled a plug out for inspection and decided to replace the AC 1 plantinum plugs. They had good color but were worn to a .055 gap. The locals didn't have AC 1's so I put in AC R44TS plugs gapped at .045. Thought I'd check the timimg while I was in the neighborhood. The timing light is a Sun induction type that I've had forever. To my surprise, the timing mark (at #1 cylinder) is reading completely off the indicator, 20 plus degrees. I adjust the timing back to 12 degrees and power is waaay down and it's tending to back fire. It runs better when I put the timing back up at 20 plus degrees at 650 rpm with the advance hose off and plugged. It does not ping at this level of advance.
I take the #1 plug out, pull the valve cover off and find that TDC is at exactly zero (0) on the timing indicator. I pull the distrbutor cap and find the #1 distribtor cap post and rotor have good alignment.
What's happening here? I'm missing something.
I'm going to check TDC at # 1 again. Any ideas? Is my timing light demon possessed?
Akbat (newbbie)
I'm not a timing guru but since were both online at the hour...
I'd put your timing light back on and rev her up to about 3500 and see if your total timing is outta wack too.
Any chance they didn't install the cam straight up?
Doc here,
From everything you said you did good...
EXCEPT for, when static timing it did you pull and plug the Vacuum advance..? (or defeat electronic)
It should be about 12 degrees with no advance hooked up, and about 32 to 34 with..
NEVERMIND...I just reread your post and I see where you have done that...You might try Different mechanical advance weights.
Also check to be sure neither advance is stuck (rusted shut, held open, or blown diaphragm.)
Akbat, I would also check to make sure your idle rpms are below 800 because if you are not you could be looking at your mechanical advance on the light!
Holy advance, Batman!!!
Weird Distributor Problems
Thanks Aloha, Doc and Steve.
The idle speed was about 650 according to the dash tach. I'll get out the remote tach and double check it. I'm beginning to think Doc is right about the mech advance.
The distributor is out and now I can see that it's pretty nasty. It's loose at the bushings, the wiring is dried out and cracked on the module, etc. I haven't had time to break into it yet but I'll let you know if I find anything
I've decided to replace it, so a new MSD distributor is going in today. The MSD has a tach terminal on the cap, just like the original GM cap, but the instruction sheet calls it a "optional HIGH voltage tach terminal". I assume this in a conventional tach terminal but the words "high voltage" make me nervous. I'd hate to ruin my nice dash tach. Does anyone have experience with this item. It's the MSD Pro-Billet PN 8365.
Low vacuum condition, as in retarded cam timing, could bring on the need for the mucho timing crutch.
Also, if the engine ahs a lot of cam duration, and the inlet valve closes way late, the DCR will be quite low, and a lot of initial timing will be needed just to make the engine idle and respond.
Air leak(S) will also like lots of timing as well.
Any idea how big the cam duration is, and if there are leaks in the inlet system??
It also sounds like the coil is starting to weaken, not an uncommon problem with coil in cap large cap HEI. When this begins, it usually also wounds the HEI module as well. Auto Zoned Out stores have testers for the components in that HEI, I'd pull the coil and module and go get 'em tested. Also, the HEI coil has to be grounder to the dist body, It does that with the center black wire in the three wire connector from body to cap. There is also a blade connector from that wire, in the cap, to just under one retainer bolt for the coil, make sure these connectors are tight and clean.
Thanks Ignitionman
The cam is unknown to me, but the engine is a relatively new item from GM and doesn't show signs of tampering at the timing cover. It idles fine and runs much like a stocker.
I believe the intake is OK. I can find no signs of leakage.
The carb throttle shafts on the old Qjet are badly worn and are sucking a lot of air. My dial indicator says about .090" wobble which is badly out of spec. I was trying to freshen up the ignition prior to installing a new carb when I discovered the timing issue. I'd rather work with one set of variables at a time, so I put off the carb until I could figure out the timing question. Would the air leaks at the carb shaft be enough to make it want that much advance?
Doc here,
If you have that much leaking, The timing would be all over the map, Total timing at idle.
Static should be slightly more stable, (no advance hooked up) but will still oscillate up and down. Mechanical Advance...
Fix the leaks first, then go back and look at the timing problems.
Let's see what Ignition man thinks on this subject, Since he's seen a bunch of them.
.090 shaft clearance between shaft and base plate??? .009 possibly.
One of my precious jobs was working qt Holley, bandsawing Holley Dominators in half and wideneing them for Pro-Stock racers. The most successful ones used teflon bushings in that areas, NOT a sloid metal one.
What I have found on Q-jets is, the actual "bushing to shaft" interface area is quite small, and inwards towords the sidewalls if the throttle bores. When the base plate wears, there is a larger than the bushing diameter area on both sides of the throttle shaft, that have not been damaged.
Whenever I do a Q-jet baseplate, I find that the larger areas in the base plate, and the shaft have NOT been touched by the wear. What I do is cut srtips of .014 teflon to fit the bored areas of the baseplate. I have measured bouches of Q-jet baseplates and found that htis large bore area to shaft is .030 overall, .015 per "side". It is simple to insert the teflon into the unworn area between plate and shaft.
I use new throttle plate screws as well, button head Allen screws, staked and Lock-tite'd into place.
I find the solid bushings need way too much clearance to not bind when the carb is torqued down to its proper 60 inch pound torque, that is 5 foot pounds of bolt to manifold torque, not the usual impact wrench to 200 foot pounds torque I usually see on one of those carbs. The solid bushings still leak after install, but the teflon doesn't leak nearly at all, and the throttle action is one heck of a lot smoother.

Doc and Ignitionman
I installed the new MSD distributor today. Heres a rundown.
1.Made a piston stop out of an old spark plug to verify that the marks on the balancer and the indicator accurately represent TDC. They were right on the money.
2.Set the timing mark on the balancer at 14 degrees BTDC with the exhaust and intake valve shut.
3.Installed the distributor with the left side of the #1 plug post on the cap aligned with the right side of the rotor.
4.It fired right up. Rough idle at 450 rpm. Timing light showed less than 14 BTDC. Moved the timing up to 14 BTDC at 650 rpm. Decent idle.
5.Test drive indicated LOW power. Barely able to pull the 700 R4 in overdrive.
6.Remembering Ignitionmans comments about vacuum leaks, I got out the vacuum gauge. The needle was very steady but only pulling about 15Hg at 14 BTDC. The diagnostic markings on the gauge indicated Late Ignition Timing! at that level of vacuum.
7.I ran the timing up to 25ish BTDC in stages. The vacuum climbs steadily as the timing goes up. By this time the notch on the balancer is almost straight up. The Vacuum is up to 20 HG and has moved into the Normal diagnostic marking. The idle is perfect at 650 rpm. Steady needle at all settings. No needle flutter.
8.A road test indicated better power. No valve ping on a mild pull at this hign initial advance setting. The power is still down, which means the advance was probably higher yet when I first put the timing light on it, but because I wasnt expecting it to be that high, I didnt believe what I was seeing the first time and didnt get a very good initial reading. Im reluctant to drive it at timing settings this high.
The only leak I can find is at the carb throttle shaft and its pretty bad. Hard to imagine it could make that much difference but I guess Ill install the new carb next. Ive restored several vehicles over the years, but Im fairly new to GM V8s. Ive never seen this situation before and I really appreciate your help.
Yes 0 to 90 on my Starrett dial indicator. More than 1/16th and less than 1/8th.

OK, Q-jet first. Find a better baseplate and go with the teflon bushings as outlined. Teflon in .014 sheets is available from industral houses and better hobby stores. Use button head Allen screws to reattach the throttle plates to the shafts, peen the screws in place and Lock-Tite.
Now, just what engine is this? If it is a crate engine, wither performance or relpacement goodwrench, and is intended to use a long style water pump, take a look at the timing cover, the stock one that comes on the engine, and see if it has timing marks at what would be the 12:00 position on the cover.
Most later small block crates have a timing mark now at the noon position, because the older side marks aren't readable with all the accessory mounts in place.
Yes, I know you dialed the timing setup in, but, might humor me and move the timing light sensor one wire to either side and see if the mark comes back to the side scale. As strange as it sounds, some engines just have to be timed like that, one cyl off of number 1. Haven't taken the time to figure it out, but I'm sure it'll wake me from a troubled sleep one night in the future.
I have a friend with a Ford 302 Windsor engine and a Mallory Pro-Comp dist, wired right, NEW balancer, scale qualified in the right place, but it simply will not time correctly off number 1, has to be one wire off to read the line to scale. Absolutely NO reason to it at all.
Sunday in the garage
It is a crate replacement Goodwrench long block. It has a Long water pump, but no marks at the top of the timing cover. I tried your suggestion about moving wires, which sounded very interesting indeed. Could not get it to fire, even with much rotating of the distributor.
I noticed in the MSD literature that they say some timing lights have trouble reading the more intense ignitions. I'll look into this as well. I'd like to believe that's the problem, but when I static time it (set the timing marks on 12 TDC and the rotor on #1 cap post, the timing light reads right where I expect it to be, 12 TDC.
About the Q-jet. I have a fresh one from The Carb Doc. I just didn't want to put it on until I knew more about the timing problem. I used a long piece of rubber tube to listen to the baseplate shafts again and discovered the choke pull down is hissing too, perhaps more than the shafts. Doc's right. time to pursue the leaks.
Next week is gonna be a busy one. I won't be able to touch it before the weekend, but I'll let you know what I find. Thanks a million for your help.

weird distributor problems
I agree with IgnitionMan about the plug wires being off. I just put a goodwrench engine (350) in my 65 rambler 3 weeks ago and had the same problem.I loosened the dist. holdown enough that I could turn it by hand and started the engine.I then turned the dist. until it ran the best.Take note of where the rotor is pointing and then with the dist. vaccum pod pointing to where your motors manual says it should be or if you don't have one, put the pod in the center of rotation (where you can turn the dist. the same amount advanced or retarded) move the # 1 wire to match the rotor. Move the rest of the wires and from there you should be able to time it. This worked for me,hope it does for you. Stanjr41
Thnx Stan
which way did you shift the wires? Clockwise or counterclockwise?
Ron B.
Some old time mech's hide their timing light and just use a vac. gauge. They advance it to the highest reading and back it down if it pings. As long as it doesn't baulk, fart or overheat, their happy.

SetCPU permits to create profiles to change the CPU speed under certain conditions. The goal is to adapt its performance to different situation: when is charging, when you're surfing, when you're playing 3D games... and so on. Because the CPU doesn't need to fully work all the time, you can save battery and resources just by adjusting it to what it needs every time. You can set up profiles to your liking.
The most of your profiles will be about underclocking (that's it, decreasing the CPU powerful) to extend battery-life. However, you can also accelerate the processor (overclocking) to perform multitasking or those apps that needs high resources consumption.
SetCPU for Root Users has been developed by MichaelHuang, a promising developer who has just launched two apps on market, but who's reaching great success thanks to this app.
If you're root and advanced Android user, SetCPU brings you one of the best tools to control the resources usage and the battery consumption on your Android, by overclocking and underclocking. It's a pity there isn't a trial, because if it was many more users will be hooked up since it's a really great app.

Burglaries increase around the holidays, FBI says
Experts say to not let the criminals know that you aren't home
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - The Federal Bureau of Investigation reports that nearly 400,000 burglaries occur in the United States between November and December each year.
With the expensive gifts lying under the tree and residents away visiting relatives, it can be a sort of criminal's paradise.
But, there are steps you can take to keep your home safe from break-ins this holiday season.
The Cole County Sheriff's Department says the key is making it look like you are home, even if you are not.
The department says criminals will be out watching the neighborhoods looking for signs that a home is empty. Officers say things like piled up newspapers and stuffed mailboxes really tip off burglars.
"If you have a trusted neighbor or maybe a friend of the family, they need to be able to drive by there and pick up the mail, newspapers, stuff like that," said Capt. John Wheeler of the Cole County Sheriff's Department.
He says a lit house will scare off most criminals.
"Make sure that you have some lights on. Make it look like somebody's in the house," said Wheeler.
Experts say exterior lights are also a big help in discouraging crime. Motion lights are especially known to do the trick.
Then, of course, Wheeler says to make sure all your doors are locked.
"You don't want to make it easy for the criminal. Dead bolts. You should have a dead bolt on every door," he said.
Law enforcement officials say you also have to be smart about what you put online before you leave town. They say a social media status about your travel plans is a dead giveaway to burglars.
"When you put stuff out to people you're also putting it out to the bad guys. So, if you advertise on Facebook that you're going to be gone for a while, you're also advertising to the bad people," said Wheeler.
Both the Cole County Sheriff's Department and Jefferson City Police Department have special watches where they will drive by your home while you are out of town.
You just have to call and let them know ahead of time.
Here are the numbers:
Cole County Sheriff's Department: (573) 364-9160
Jefferson City Police Department: (573) 634-6400

Houston Fire Chief Terry Garrison has stated that the administration's plan to cut transport ambulances and reduce on-duty staff will put the public at risk.
And Mayor Parker admits if the strictest form of her plan is put into action, it could affect HFD response times.
"There is no doubt that if we had to park a significant number of fire apparatus, it could have an impact on public safety."
But Parker says the goal is to avoid that by reorganizing how HFD is staffed and reducing what she calls excessive overtime in the department.
"We have done nothing, to date, that should compromise public safety. We have put staff positions back out into the field, we did a shake-up and reduction is the size of the fire command staff, we did a reduction in the size of the finance staff and took over the finance staff because they were having obviously difficulty managing the increased budget that they were given."
About a dozen Houston firefighters were present during the mayor's remarks, but declined to comment.
The firefighters' union is suing the city over its plan to bench some units.
Meanwhile, the city and the union are in contract negotiations over future pay and benefits for firefighters.

Ashcroft: "Jesus Is King"
Former Missouri U.S. Senator John Ashcroft, expected as of presstime to be approved as U.S. Attorney General, was handpicked by the Religious Right, according to a news story in the Jan. 7 New York Times. The Times noted that if confirmed, Ashcroft "would reach the highest office ever attained by a leading figure of the Christian right."
In response to media pressure, Bob Jones University, where Ashcroft accepted an honorary degree in 1999, released the video transcript of his remarks there. Ashcroft told the segregationist college:
"Unique among nations, America recognized the source of our character as being godly and eternal, not being civic and temporal. And because we have understood that our source is eternal, America has been different. We have no king but Jesus."
In a statement, the Foundation noted: "The founding fathers who threw off the yokes of kings and monarchies likewise ensured through our founding document that government and citizens would not be yoked by the tyranny of religion. . . .
"Ashcroft's intemperate, inaccurate and inflammatory remarks at Bob Jones University raise a red flag that should alarm any thoughtful individual. Many U.S. citizens are unbelievers, Jews and other nonChristians who do not recognize Jesus as 'king,' nor do the vast majority of nominally religious, unchurched Americans."
BSA, UW Tie Leaves "Sauer" Taste
The Freedom From Religion Foundation contacted the University of Wisconsin-Madison in January over its concerns about UW men's hockey coach Jeff Sauer fundraising for the Boy Scouts of America on UW time. The local Boy Scouts of America, in a news release announcing a $3.5 million fundraising drive, said Sauer would "kick off" the fundraising at a UW hockey game.
"We believe that Mr. Sauer is free to aid the Boy Scouts as much as he likes--but only on his own time and property," Annie Laurie Gaylor wrote Chancellor John Wiley.
The University responded that Sauer would not be allowed do a fundraising pitch at the game. However, officials said any groups that sell group tickets at a discount are introduced before the game. The troop was also given use of a suite where Sauer greeted ticketholders prior to the game.
Gaylor censured the University for failing to join the many cities, public schools and corporations that have have cut off ties with Boy Scouts.
The Union of American Hebrew Congregations, representing the leadership of Reform Judaism, sent a memo in January to Reform Congregations nationwide urging them to sever ties with Boy Scouts because "of values and ethics that conflict with ours."
Churches and rightwing groups are threatening to overturn anti-gay ordinances in Broward County and Miami-Dade County, Florida, in response to cut-offs of public aid to Boy Scouts.

The federal government is refreshing the panel arrangements under which private enterprise procurement and logistics contractors manage practical details of supplies and services contracts, particularly overseas, for agencies such as AusAid.
Under the heading of PASP, for Procurement Assistance Services Program, period offer, AusAid is acting as the prime proponent for the procurement services request for tender.
However, once assembled, the panel will also have the opportunity to act for other federal government entities, designated collectively as AGOs, for Australian government organisations.
"This is under the government's whole-of-government policy for co-ordinated procurement to give effect to government policy decisions, to improve consistency and control and to deliver savings and efficiencies," the tender documents explain.
Melbourne-based tenders specialist TenderSearch notes that qualified organisations have until November 2 to indicate interest.
The opportunities range from simple, one-off projects to complex multimillion-dollar programs.
Work will typically include costs and technical specifications for specific items, advertising, contract placement, warranties, insurance cover and paying suppliers, contractors and consultants.

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — A Wilmington attorney and CPA wants to run for the new NC House District 20 seat, but he'll have to take an unusual path to get there.
Filing for public office ended in late February. That means J. Wesley Casteen will have to do a petition drive to get on the ballot in November. If successful, Casteen would be listed as an unaffiliated candidate on the ballot with Republican Rick Catlin and Democrat Tom Gale.
The legislature created District 20 when it redrew legislative boundaries after the 2010 Census. The new district covers much of northern New Hanover County.

tcp global restoration shop grays
Has anybody used the tcp auto shop grays,I know they have a Mesa gray,dove gray&machinery gray in a ss au kit.
Its kind of hard from the sample pic its hard to make out what they will look like.Anybody ever used any of these&by chance got some pics?
Thanks fellas
Buy their color chip card?
Just go to your local paint store for materials, you'll be supporting a local business and have local support when you have issues. BC/CC is actually cheaper than SS urethane because you're spraying the base to achieve coverage and then clearing to achieve your shine. Clear is cheaper per gallon than SS Urethane. Maybe check a Slo Reilly for a factory pack single stage, it should include, color, reducer and activator. It'll be Nason but you can actually see what the color should look like. If you go BC/CC and want to buy local and be fairly cheap, use Nason or Omni Basecoat and Nason 497-00 clear (3:1) mix. I've found a clear I really like at Southern Polyurethanes, it's their Universal clear and I prefer it over all other clear. I have to order it in but it's worth it for the end result, it's about 250.00 for two gallons of sprayable clear.
I live like 60 miles from the city&the closest jobber Ive been to is a real d bag.He has anbatritude all the time&hes always telling ya lies.Anway for all of the stuff for what I need in a ss from his shop was about 300&for bc/cc its almost 500.The tcp global stuff is ls like 100 bucks
If you go TCP Global, get a primer that is either tintable or a couple cans of white or grey and black primer you can mix together to get a color that approximates your intended color. Take a picture of the intended color and print it in black and white, blow it up and mix your primer colors to match the black and white picture. TCP Global has super thin colors from what I've heard and my one experience with it. I've used their stuff once on a semi for a dude and it sucked, he bought all the supplies from them and I ended up getting some Chromabase to complete the job. Four coats of a solid color and it still didn't cover. That's when I discovered tintable sealer/primer.
I used Restoration Shop acrylic enamel in E4 Ford Vermillion red and it was as good as PPG Delstar. I can't speak to any more experience than that. IIRC Barryk knew the owner/ creator of Restoration shop but he passed away a couple years ago
Just decided to go ahead&go with nason
Make certain you are spraying over a consistent color. The closer it is in shade to your color you're spraying, the less thin spots will show if you have any of them. Nason covers well, but do what you can to reduce any odds for failure.
That makes sense,&since my comp isnt too big should I walk the whole length of the teuck or cab&bed etc seperate?
I can get Kirker brand urethane in any of their many colors,
including reds, for under $100.00 a gallon including activator.
I've used it many times and it holds up fine.
There's no base/clear on the market that cheap.
Most basecoats are more than that alone.

The contrasting fortunes of Beauden Barrett and Gareth Anscombe illustrate that professional rugby is a more ruthless and fast moving beast than often portrayed.
A year ago, Barrett and Anscombe were New Zealand under-20 team-mates, the latter commanding the No 10 jersey which forced the more versatile former into playing at fullback.
Once they returned, great futures were predicted for both, as they brought a touch of class and composure to their respective ITM Cup teams. Barrett was locked into the Hurricanes, the man they were going to trust to lead them to an improved season, while Anscombe was signed by the Blues, seen more as a bench option in 2012 with a view to running things in 2013.
This weekend showed how quickly things can change; how their respective paths have taken dramatically different routes. Barrett was on the plane to Argentina with the All Blacks last night: about the same time that Anscombe was coming to terms with the news that he's been delisted by the Blues and is now looking at spending 2013 with the Hurricanes - effectively carrying Barrett's coat as it were.
The upward trajectory of Barrett's career has been as steep as the downturn taken by Anscombe's. Barrett was in Argentina not just because of doubts about the fitness of Daniel Carter. He is there as a genuine alternative on the bench to Aaron Cruden.
The 21-year-old's kicking game is longer than Cruden's and while there is nothing but admiration and respect for the contribution Cruden has made this year, in the cut-throat world of test football, there is already a sense of Barrett coming up fast on the rails.
It was impossible not to be taken with Barrett throughout Super Rugby: he kicked effortlessly off both feet, ran well, passed well and looked to be the closest thing to a new Carter. Cruden has a trump card with his running game but the last two weeks have shown him to be still someway off being able to control a test with his boot. By next year, or maybe even by the end of this, the pecking order of Carter-Cruden-Barrett may change to Carter-Barrett-Cruden.
And how that must pain Anscombe, who from tomorrow can legally be confirmed as delisted. The Hurricanes, who used the now-departed Daniel Kirkpatrick as cover this year, are believed to be keen. But, unless there is serious injury to Barrett, Anscombe faces a bleak season - 10-minute cameos and the occasional start.
History shows that few last long once they are labelled "back-up" and that's the problem for Anscombe - he plays the game in a style that's not in tune with the way most coaches in New Zealand want to operate.
Anscombe sat in the pocket for the Blues this year - reducing the effectiveness of Ma'a Nonu outside him. It also made the Blues easy to shut down - defences knowing they could close the space by coming up quickly on the outside.
New Blues coach John Kirwan hasn't unveiled his tactical vision for the team yet, but as one of the world's best attacking wings and having tried hard to generate pace and width while coach of Japan, it's a reasonable guess he'll want much the same in his current role.
Anscombe doesn't really fit that vision which is similar to how the Hurricanes want to play as well. This time next year, it wouldn't be a surprise if Anscombe is on his way to the UK. Anscombe looks better suited to Northern Hemisphere rugby and his accurate goal-kicking and astute tactical kicking would be well received there. He's eligible to play for Wales and there is also possibly the option of heading to Ulster, where his father, Mark, is the coach.
Still only 21, if he heads now, he could be qualified to play for Ireland by the time he's 24 as his eligibility was not captured last year. It's not the future he imagined this time last year but it is at least a future that could feature test rugby.

Game 28 Recap: Morton Wins His 3rd, Bucs Take Series
Morton pitched into the sixth to get his third win.
Everyone who reads this blog likely knows that Charlie Morton only won three games in 2010. He already has three wins and he and his electric stuff will hopefully have little resistance to notching double digit wins. In unrelated news, the Pirates put together two large scoring outbursts to aid Morton.
Rockies starter Ubaldo Jimenez was in trouble from the get-go. The Pirates stranded two runners in the first inning. The Pirates broke through in the second. Ryan Doumit walked and advanced to third on a Pedro Alvarez single. Ronny Cedeno's bunt went for a hit with Doumit scoring. Xavier Paul came up with the clutch blow. His two out triple scored both runners. Garrett Jones, hitting in the three hole, doubled in Paul, making it 4-0.

In a gruelling week-long session, the Auckland Council has abandoned a great deal of the urban intensification that caused so much concern across the city when its draft "Unitary Plan" was published this year. Council members, with local board leaders in close attendance, voted to limit the density of development permitted in the "mixed housing" zones that comprise 40 per cent of residential Auckland.
In doing so they ignored an appeal from Mayor Len Brown not to "throw the baby out with the bathwater". But the "baby" was hard to identify in this slew of urban planning. The planners' aim, strongly supported by the mayor, is to engineer a more compact city rather than permit more urban sprawl. That purpose was well known before the draft Unitary Plan appeared but most people supposed the more dense development would be limited to residential areas near commercial centres and public transport.
The plan when it appeared was much less selective. Almost entire suburbs had been zoned for intensification.
"Mixed housing" meant multi-unit developments of up to three storeys could be built anywhere without warning or rights of neighbours to object. Visions of apartment blocks rising on the section next door caused consternation at public meetings attended by council and board members and briefed by planning staff.
Long before the council met to finalise the draft plan last week, the mayor had conceded that it would have to be revised and more graduated densities would have to be designed. But the plan that was put to council members last week had not been sufficiently refined to allay the concerns they had heard.
The planners reportedly fought hard for their principle of no density limits in the suburbs, proposing to rename the principle "flexible density", as if that made it more palatable. But even a compromise proposed by Mr Brown (no limit for sections larger than 2500 sq m) was eventually withdrawn in the face of opposition from a majority of members and boards.
Local body election year is possibly not the best time to be writing the planning regulations that will shape the city for the next 10 years but it is not a bad time either. Town planning always invokes the virtue of public consultation but seldom engages communities as avidly as it has in Auckland this year.
The decisions that have resulted are not ideal. They have made the plan ragged and inconsistent. Orewa and Browns Bay, for example, would seem perfect for high-rise or medium-rise apartments close to the sea, but their council member and local board have effectively expressed the objections of existing residents.
This is the first such plan since Auckland was given a single governing body and the "one city, one plan ..." mantra might have been taken too far. The different character of Auckland's four previous municipalities can be preserved. There is no harm in different rules prevailing where communities want them. Property developers no doubt find a single set of rules for the whole city to be more convenient, and architects like the freedom of no density limits, but residents' wishes are more important.
Residents need to be reasonable, though. Not everyone these days wants a house with lawns and garden and trees. The increasing age and ethnic diversity of Auckland, not to mention a projected extra million people, demands that room be made for different lifestyles. The designers of the draft Unitary Plan have not tried to define too closely where that room might be. The public outcry and the decisions of the council last week demand more precision. The drafters need to redraw the city in detail and, as unhappy as selected places may be, the council will need to stand by the plan.

Patience isn't exactly a quality that Hollywood has in spades.
When it comes to a successful property most studios have a similar attitude to Thor when enjoying a nice coffee: "I like it… ANOTHER!" This is also true of Marvel of course, but under the construct of their cinematic universe (the MCU) they get away with releasing a pretty constant string of movies.
This is also why I believe they can get away with putting off their third 'Avengers' film until 2020.
[X-Men: Days Of Future Past heading for reshoots]
When 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' is released in 2015 it will have been three years since Marvel and Joss Whedon first assembled their superhero team and enjoyed their Hulk-size success.
In those three years Marvel will have released four films, including three sequels that don't so much expand the MCU as solidify its initial success. 'Thor: The Dark World' and next year's 'Guardians of the Galaxy' will help set up a wider, more galactic universe - but that side of things is unlikely to play a major part 'Age of Ultron'.
Perfectly understandable, but that fact puts a lot of pressure on Phase Three to be an entirely different beast to Phase Two.
As many suspected after 'Avengers Assemble's credits scene and as was confirmed by 'Thor 2's credits sequence, Marvel are building towards an adaptation of their famous 'Infinity Guantlet' storyline. To do this successfully Marvel will need a huge cast of characters and a lot of set up.
If Phase Three was to follow the same path as Phase Two, it would consist of five films, with 'Ant-Man' set for release in the months following 'Age of Ultron' and four films in the two years after.
[Hugh Jackman wants greater Oscar consideration for comic book movies]
If used properly five films could be just enough, but with plans to introduce Doctor Strange, Black Panther and the Inhumans, that leaves one extra film. With 'Captain America' and 'Thor' threequels almost certain to happen suddenly a three year gap between 'Avengers' sequels seems unattainable.
So how about a five year gap, and nine films.
Such a move would undoubtedly be risky, but Marvel Studios was built on risks, and if they used their properties smartly they could make the wait bearable for fans eager to see the Avengers a third time. Absence also makes the heart grow fonder, so just imagine those opening box office numbers for 'Avengers 3' after a five year wait.
[The Cabin in the Wood's Drew Goodard to write Marvel's Daredevil TV series]
That does leave one question however: What nine films should Marvel make to build towards their Infinity Gauntlet epic. Here's a list of films I believe could make it work...
Summer 2015 - 'Ant-Man'
Early 2016 - 'Doctor Strange'
Late 2016 - 'Black Panther'
Early 2017 - 'Thor 3'
Late 2017 - 'Inhumans'
Early 2018 - 'Captain America 3' (with Hulk fighting alongside Cap)
Late 2018 - 'The Punisher'
Early 2019 - 'Guardians of the Galaxy 2' (Major Thanos role / Infinity Guantlet set-up)
Late 2019 - 'The Indestructible Hulk'
Early 2020 - 'The Avengers: Infinity Gauntlet'
'Ant-Man', 'Doctor Strange' and 'Black Panther' would set up those characters. 'Inhumans' would set up the concept of mutants in the MCU without saying mutants - which is an 'X-Men' thing. 'The Punisher' could also include characters from Marvel's newly-announced 'Defenders' project with Netflix, such as Daredevil or Luke Cage.
'Thor 3' could plant seeds for Infinity Gauntlet by introducing more Infinity Gems. 'Captain America 3' could introduce Bruce Banner and the "other guy" as agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. 'Guardians of the Galaxy' could do most to set-up 'Avengers 3' and the long-long-long-awaited 'Hulk' movie would be a great crowd pleaser going into the following year's epic.
Each new character Marvel introduces comes at the risk of a lacklustre box office, but these are important in expanding the world and finding new avenues for potential success in the future. The bigger Marvel's cast of characters the better an adaptation of 'Infinity Gauntlet' they can create, and one that finds a suitably epic tone.
Where they go from there is anyone's guess, but one thing is for certain - Marvel are always planning ahead, and they probably already have a pretty good idea what will happen.
Ben Skipper is a big Marvel nut and proud Whedonite. Impressed by what Marvel have done with their 'Avengers' films, he won't be truly satisfied until Mark Ruffalo's Hulk gets his own movie. Come on Marvel, make it happen already! You can follow Ben on Twitter @bskipper27.

A decade's worth of test automation history reveals that not much has changed. Experts still dwell on how much to automate and how to estimate different types of ROIs. Test automation's growth is stunted because it's not revered as a discipline different from manual software testing. In this column, Dion Johnson urges us to correct the situation so that test automation can develop into a more lucrative opportunity.
1997: Cem Kaner's "Improving the Maintainability of Automated Test Suites" white paper:
"When GUI-level regression automation is developed in Release N of the software, most of the benefits are realized during the testing and development of Release N+1."
1999: Bret Pettichord's "Seven Steps to Test Automation Success" white paper:
"We need to run test automation projects just as we do our other software development projects."
1999: Mark Fewster and Dorothy Graham's Software Test Automation book:
"If no thought is given to maintenance when tests are automated, updating an entire automated test suite can cost as much, if not more, than the cost of performing all the tests manually."
2001: Dion Johnson's Designing an Automated Web Test Environment white paper:
"With many, getting an automation tool is like a kid getting a new toy—they jump right in and start playing. And the resulting test suite, much like a child's new toy, just doesn't last."
2008: An unnamed test lead's automation request:
"I know that the application is still changing, but do you think you can start now and automate most of the tests so that they may be used during the acceptance testing in two days?"
Are you kidding me!? More than ten years have passed and we are still at a point where this type of request can be made with a straight face? Why has the industry as a whole not outgrown this? Why do we continue to ask the same questions that we largely asked over a decade ago? For its part, the IT industry and many of us within it have worked to raise the level of automation discourse through the introduction of new techniques, training, and publications. Somehow, this still seems not to have translated to the broader segment of the industry's population.
We are still preoccupied with questions such as:
- Is record and playback an effective automation approach?
- Is 100 percent automation possible?
- How do I calculate return on investment (ROI)?
- How early can test automation begin?
- Can test automation replace manual testing?
