A huge, slow-moving rain system is forecast to continue drenching New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and northern Victoria today.
Flooding has forced hundreds of evacuations and dozens of rescues.
Three-quarters of NSW was late yesterday under water or at risk of flooding, major dams in Sydney and Canberra were expected to spill - and there is little hope of relief in the next few days.
"This rain band has been an extraordinary event as we rarely see rain of this magnitude in this part of the state, and we rarely see a low trough hang around for as long as this trough's going to," NSW State Emergency Services spokesman Dieter Geske told ABC radio.
While not of the severity of earlier summer flooding that inundated dozens of towns and isolated entire communities, the sheer scale of the unprecedented rain band has stretched resources.
Roads and highways have been cut, and worse is expected as torrential rain continues over vast tracts of NSW, Victoria and the national capital, which by the end of the first day of March had exceeded its average rainfall for the entire month.
In NSW flood watches are in place in eight river systems, and warnings extend from western Sydney south to the Victorian border, and across the Southern and Central Tablelands to the Snowy Mountains.
Yesterday a nursing home was evacuated and hundreds of people were told to leave their homes in Cooma, at the foot of the Snowies.
Others were ordered to evacuate parts of Goulburn, west of Sydney, and more fled their homes in Cowra, in the central west of the state.
Flood warnings were issued for Bathurst, and for Kiama on the south coast.
Sydney was expected to escape the worst, although homeowners and farmers to its west were placed on alert as the Warragamba Dam, which supplies the city with most of its water, was predicted to spill for the first time in 14 years.
But engineers said floodgates would release water to ease pressure on the dam, and only moderate flooding was expected downstream in the Hawkesbury-Nepean River.
Heavy rain is also drenching the far west, where Broken Hill received more than 100mm in the past four days, closing highways and roads.
In Victoria, most rain has fallen across the northeast in downpours that have flooded properties, closed roads, and trapped people in cars and houses. Hundreds of people around the Goulburn Valley towns of Tallygaroopna and Congupna, near Shepparton, have been evacuated.
Flooding was also reported in the Murray River towns of Yarrawonga and Bundalong, about 230km northeast of Melbourne.

Lee Thompson Young, perhaps best known for his role as the action-packed kid in the Disney Channel's The Famous Jett Jackson in the late '90s, has died.
Although details are scarce, TMZ is reporting that the former child star died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound today. He was 29.
Young's landlord discovered his body around 9:45 a.m. after staff members from his current hit TV show, Rizzoli & Isles, noticed he wasn't at work. They then placed a call to Young's landlord to investigate.
Since beginning his career in 1998, the South Carolina native appeared in over a dozen TV shows and a handful of films. His most notable performances were on Flash Forward, Friday Night Lights, Akeelah and the Bee, and Scrubs.

The flat worked great for us. The staff were very hospitable and helpful. We particularly liked how close it was to the metro and walking distance to the sites of the ancient Brussels. It is located in a real neighborhood, plenty of night life with locals. The beds were very comfortable and clean. The living area was also spacious with everything nicely arranged. Jeannine Pis statue has nice place which attracts you best Brussels' pub – Delirium…Jeanne ken is small statue behind the cage.
We loved staying at this apartment. The apartment was very comfortable and they have been very smart about the way they fit in all the essentials so that it doesn't feel cramped. The location is wonderful, particularly having a whole street full of wonderful shops and restaurants close by. The metro is a very short walk away, as are several of Brussels' biggest attractions. The staff were very punctual with their communication and did their very best to help us in any way they would. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again.
The staff here were extremely welcoming and responsive, both before and during the stay. The location of the apartment was wonderful, just steps away from the metro station. It is just around the corner from great bars, restaurants and shops in the trendy heart of Brussels. We liked Place Ste. Catherine, a very nice church that is worth a visit. We stumbled upon this area as we were on our way to Grand Place. This is a lovely church in an inviting square with sea food restaurants. Inside, the apartment was very well-maintained and equipped including a modern kitchen. All in all a highly recommended place.
This is a well laid apartment in the center of Brussels and an excellent value. The apartment is perfect for 1 or 2 and central both for walking and short metro rides to tourist sites. It is clean and modern, with a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom. The staff were very thoughtful and charming as well. They provided useful tips regarding restaurants and shopping. We loved and enjoyed our short stay.
Our stay at this apartment was a great experience. The staff were very helpful with suggestions and recommendations about the best places to eat out. We loved Café De L'Opera restaurant. We went there for hot drinks during a stroll around the city. We found the atmosphere cozy and relaxing. Service was great and the hot drinks lovely…especially the Hot Chocolate…it was absolutely gorgeous!!! Worth every penny!
This place was amazing and added to my experience of being a first timer in Brussels. I stayed with my boyfriend for a week and it was one of the highlights in my Europe trip that spanned for 7 weeks. The location was great, close to many nice restaurant, pubs, cafes and bars. We could walk to almost everything since everything is just within walking distance from the apartment. We will definitely come back the next time we are in Brussels.

Review of Univision Debate: Feet in Two Worlds
New York, NY —
Republican presidential candidates met in Miami last night for the campaign's first Spanish language debate. Florida's Latino community could be pivotal in both the primary and general elections, and a recent Pew poll shows that group drifting from the GOP as it increases its anti-immigrant rhetoric. With us to discuss how the Republicans navigated the issue is Pilar Marrero, a reporter with La Opinion in LA.

Immanuel Lutheran Church to Kick Off 100th Anniversary Year with Organ Dedication Feb. 19
Immanuel Lutheran Church, 13445 Hampton Road in Brookfield, invites the community to their Service of Thanksgiving & Praise to include the dedication of Immanuel's new Allen organ, on Sunday, February 19 at 3:30 p.m. A potluck meal will follow the service. The afternoon service also marks the official start of Immanuel's celebration of its 100th Anniversary year, with various events planned throughout 2012.
The service will include singing of hymns and musical selections from the five seasons of the church year, involving members from Immanuel's adult and school choirs, handbell choir, plus organists/keyboardists. After the service a potluck meal will be held in Immanuel's Field House, featuring chicken, salads and desserts. Coffee and milk will be provided. Cost is $5 per person, $7.50 per couple and $10 per family. For those wishing to attend the potluck meal, please make your reservation before February 12 with Terry Krueger at (414) 464-2591.
The featured instrument for this event is Immanuel's new Quantum™ 370 Classical Organ manufactured by the Allen Organ Company, and will be officially dedicated at this service. This fantastic modern organ is a memorial to Jules Bartelt from his wife, Delores Bartelt, who designated a portion of her will to begin the fund for this organ a decade ago. The three manual, 58-stop instrument features Allen's Quantum technology, offering unprecedented control over even the smallest sound nuance, resulting in a very realistic sound not previously available from a pipeless organ.
Immanuel Lutheran is a member of The Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod and began a century ago with the first services held in the carpenter shop of Oscar Staats in New Butler, today known as the Village of Butler. In the fall of 1912 the first chapel was built, and dedicated in October of that year. In 1955 the first church on Immanuel's present property in Brookfield was finished; 1959 saw the completion of a separate school building; and in 1983 the present church building was first used for worship.
Immanuel Lutheran School offers Christian education, beginning with three-year-old prekindergarten classes and continuing through the eighth grade. The school is currently accepting applications for the 2012-2013 school year. Immanuel Lutheran Child Care is open Monday-Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. year-round to children from the ages of 6 weeks to 12 years. More information may be found at www.immanuelbrookfield.org.

3988920 heads
Just got a set of the 920 heads that have been machined for the 2.02/ 1.60 valves and screw in studs and big springs, they look good except the combustion chambers look a little big. Was wondering if any one can tell me a little about them, and i have also located a set of 492 angle plug heads would like to hear some comments on them as well
They`re typical smog heads released in the early 70`s. They have the large 76cc chamber to low compression to meet smog requirements.
They aren`t peformance heads and really weren`t worth investing big valves into. All the old chevy heads such as the camel backs few bother to run anymore when you can get a set of Vortec heads and be 30 horses over any of the other factory heads is why.

Deschutes Brewery officially starts distributing in Ohio on Jan. 24 and the craft brewer from Bend, Ore., has arranged a million special events -- well, it seems like a million -- across the state to celebrate.
If you really can't wait to get a taste, Deschutes is already available at the Winking Lizard Tavern chain (I had a Black Butte Porter on Saturday at the Copley Township location while hanging with Cleveland Plain Dealer beer writer Marc Bona, who sampled a Mirror Pond Pale Ale). It also will be at this weekend's Columbus Winter Beerfest.
As for those "Meet, Greet, Sample" events, they are taking place from Jan. 24 through Jan. 31. Deschutes will highlight Mirror Pond Pale Ale, Black Butte Porter, Red Chair Northwest Pale Ale and Inversion IPA. At select locations, there will be limited release beers such as Hop Henge Experimental IPA and Class of '88 Imperial Smoked Porter, a collaboration with Great Lakes Brewing in Cleveland.
For a rundown, check out the posters below highlighting special events in the Cleveland, Akron, Canton, Columbus, Cincinnati and Dayton area or you can click here for the Deschutes events page.


text: Inside forever I know a woman, who steeps tea from sage gathered on the slopes of Lebanon. She's having tea with another woman who took a plane there recently, rising up on the swan-winged aircraft to land with her easel and brush in a market square inside forever. They pitch tangerine and aqua-colored tents over their shop tables in that sun-full land, which sometimes is a desert and sometimes a seashore. They teach classes to children who are constantly arriving and leaving as they grow. The inside of this place is like the outside when you're a child, it goes on horizon after horizon, and all roads lead home, a new home, one you're inspecting to see if the newness smells right. I wish you all a poem today inside this place, perhaps displayed on one of those market tables under a canopy of brilliant green.

The East Routt Library District Board will ask residents to support two property-tax increases as part of its plan to expand the library.
In November, voters will be asked to approve a 1.4-mill levy increase for 20 years to fund an $11.4 million bond to expand the library. Along with that increase, voters will be asked in a separate question to approve an additional 0.8- to 1-mill levy to fund the operations of the expanded library. The smaller mill levy is intended to raise $625,000 a year.
On Tuesday, the Board of Routt County Commissioners approved a resolution placing a mill levy question on the ballot for operating expenses.
"An operating budget increase is necessary in order to maintain the operations of the library," library board President Tom Hopp said.
The library board did not have to go before the commissioners to put the construction-bond question on November's ballot. The board has the statutory power to put bond questions on the ballot. The library expects the 1.4-mill levy to raise about $900,000 a year to help pay off the bond.
The bond would fund a 20,000-square-foot, two-story expansion to Bud Werner Memorial Library, which sits at 13th Street and Lincoln Avenue.
The library board is proposing to keep the existing library in place for staff and community meeting rooms. It wants to build an addition to house the book collection, computer areas and reading and study space.
For the expansion to take place, the Steamboat Springs Community Center would have to be removed from the site. Even if the construction bond is approved, City Council members have pledged that the community center will not move until a new one is in place.
According to the Routt County Assessor's Office formula, the 1.4-mill levy to cover the bond would cost homeowners about $11.14 a year for every $100,000 of assessed value on their homes. The estimated 0.8- to 1-mill levy to cover the operating expenses for the expansion would cost homeowners between $6.37 and $7.96 per $100,000 of assessed residential value.
Residents in the East Routt Library District, which has the same boundaries as the Steamboat Springs School Dist--rict, already have a 2.34-mill levy on their property taxes to fund the library.
The mill levy to fund operating expenses would not go into effect until 2007, when construction is set to begin on the expansion. Hopp said that if assessed values go up, as expected, it would take less than 1 mill to fund the added operating expenses.
Library Director Chris Painter said the money would go toward funding staff and increased library hours and buying new books and computer equipment to be housed in the expansion.
In the next few months, the district intends to begin an education campaign and meet with groups throughout the community.
"We are going to make sure there is as much information as possible about the library expansion project," Painter said.

Hello, been lurking here for a bit decided to start beekeeping, seeing its late already will start first hive next season so will read up on it till then.
I've read lots of sites already about bees..trying to put it altogether in head hurts :P
Anyways..couple of questions.
1. I've read about harvesting honey and such..but what do you "do" with the bees while you harvest it? Seems silly i know, just never got that clear to me. Do you just remove a few frames at a time? Or do the bees just "settle" in hive will you take frames?
2. Is there a calender one can use..for when to get bees (i heard November order them), feed them for winter (if not enough honey surplus), etc?
3. How do you know how much a hive needs for the winter..overfeed for safety?
4. Do you recommend some "starter package" i could buy?
5. What is the main reason people buy Queens vs bees making own? I must of skipped that section on accident, because some say you can let them make own.
I'm in Missouri. I was going to start a hive on 40 acres of land at relatives house..part field/part woods with a pond on it. But I also have 200 acres about 30min away..it is mostly all farmland..however we lease it out and he grows soybeans..so that might be better long term if i decide to really get into this.
Sorry if these are basic questions. Just so much info its hard to keep track of what i already know :

About Me
I have been modeling since I was 18.
I am disarmingly charming, enigmatic, ambiguous and intense. I am dedicated to creating art that will amaze and grab you by the throat and demand the viewers attention.
I don't mind getting dirty, working in small spaces and difficult positions (I was a gymnast from infancy throughout high school) or in locations we may not have actual clearance to shoot in.
I am currently only really interested in projects involving androgyny and gender play.
I am willing to travel. I do travel to NYC and Philadelphia whenever possible.
body modifications: I currently have 3 tattoos, a vertical labret facial piercing (covered with dermablend easily & piercing is removable) and dermal punched earlobes.
(I am always willing to wear wigs and do in many of my photos these days)
I am very low key and boyish in real life, so if you're looking for intense dramatic make-up you should have your own MUA.
*I am also always looking for other pretty and interesting female models to pose with as well.*
I am not interested in meeting anyone to date on here, thanks. I'm also not interested in chatting with people who don't have an MM and are not serious artists looking to book a shoot or work on a project together. So that said, don't email me or try to IM me for any other reasons.

On the assumption that my bike will carry me to and from work tomorrow, New Year's Eve, I will have logged 174 days of bike commuting in 2012. That marks the fewest days I've ridden to work in the last four years, and well off the record 203 days I rode in 2010.
What gives? After all, my situation is as close to ideal as it gets for bike commuting – downhill on the way in, a very casual workplace, and at only 3 urban miles each way, riding to work is nearly as fast as driving.
And if I had any thought of shaving off a few minutes by driving, parking in my building is $310 a month. Hell, I could get a new bike every quarter with what I'm saving on parking alone.
So I'm not missing bike commutes because I woke up and just decided to drive. But other culprits conspire to keep me off my bike. I had 252 work days in 2012, of which I rode 174. Here's where the missing 78 days went:
- 26 days: Vacation. Wow, it didn't feel like I took 5+ weeks of vacation, but there it is. Maybe one year I'll take it all at once so it really FEELS like a vacation.
- 21 days: Family and social events. Lots of after-work stuff this year that necessitated taking the bus, catching a ride or using ZipCar.
- 19 days: Business travel. I've yet to figure out an effective way to ride to the airport.
- 5 days: Weather. I missed a solid week in January during the early 2012 "snow-pocalypse." It's just too dangerous to commute ride when Capitol Hill's streets are clogged with snow and ice.
- 4 days: Health. Two sick days + two days where I could face the office but not the prospect of cranking my way home in a decongestant haze.
- 3 days: Mechanical. A couple of these were half days. I've found even the simplicity of single speed will succumb to mechanical failure if not properly maintained. Need to get better about that in 2013 . . .
I'd love to cross 200 days again in 2013, but I'd probably have to not go on vacation to make that happen. Something tells me the family would be less than understanding.

Feast after the fast
Page Tools
The Doncaster Mosque's congregation breaks its fast.
Photo: Mary Costello
On Saturday, my friend Heather and I had a girls' night out at the Doncaster mosque.
It's the holy month of Ramadan, and although the doors of the mosque are always open, visitors are particularly welcome during Ramadan, and we were invited to share a meal at sunset.
Leaving our shoes at the door, we followed the women into their section of the United Muslim Migrants Association Islamic Centre.
The centre provides a place to meet, pray and celebrate for mainly Urdu-speaking Muslims from all over Melbourne.
Some come every night during Ramadan to hear readings from the Koran in their native language.
We were welcomed like sisters by Najma, Yasmin, Sajida, Mariam, Fatima and many others, looking unselfconsciously beautiful in their embroidered tunics, soft trousers, silk scarves and pashminas in bold, bright colours.
Heather and I had eaten breakfast, lunch, morning and afternoon tea, plus a continuous pouring of coffee that day, but our hosts had had nothing since sunrise.
Najma explained that fasting during Ramadan, or Sawm, is one of the Five Pillars of Islam.
Muslims abstain from sunrise to sunset as a means of drawing closer to God and seeking forgiveness for their sins.
Najma's small son, Muhammad, was fasting for the first time, and he wasn't complaining.
Even when the aromas started oozing out of the kitchen, he behaved with unlikely self-control for a hungry boy.
While the imam intoned the call to prayer, the azan, the women laid the table for the light meal that would break their fast and prevent tummy-rumblings during devotions.
Most members of the congregation come from Pakistan and India, so as a vegetarian I was well catered for.
We had platters of dates, chickpeas, salad, samosas with coriander chutney, spicy little dhal cakes served with a tangy yoghurt sauce, and great bowls of melon and cantaloupe for palate-cleansing.
After "breakfast" the women went into the prayer room, and we donned headscarves and followed.
It probably takes years of practice to keep a headscarf in place. Heather and I could only manage it by tying a daggy knot under the chin.
We looked more like the Queen out for a hike at Balmoral than Benazir Bhutto.
As the women went through the order of prayer, I watched one fairy-sized toddler copy them.
She bowed devoutly at just the right moment until her forehead touched the floor, then yeeha! She pitched forward, turned a somersault and rolled across the carpet. Sometimes you have to make your own fun.
After a short prayer, we met more women and they told us their stories - Australian stories.
We had much in common, most of us migrants, working and raising children, usually with little or no family support.
While dinner was taking shape, Heather asked whether everyone was required to bring a plate, but it turns out that one family provides dinner each Saturday during Ramadan as a gift to the community.
Men and women are segregated in the mosque but they shared the kitchen, and it was good to see the lads helping out with the food.
As one woman quipped, Aussie Muslim lads can be Sensitive New Age Guys too.
The meal was a feast: beef curry; kebabs; rice; salad; a lemon, lime and chilli pickle; terrific rotis; and, glory of glories - okra! Okra (aka lady fingers) is my all-time favourite vegetable, but it's a rare treat and hard to source in the bushburbs where I live.
Okra is also difficult to cook to the right consistency, but some cunning cook had got it right and produced a savoury okra stew with tomato, onion and lashings and leavings of subcontinental spices.
For dessert, the sweet, moist balls of gulab jamun and the sultana cake were real mouth-melters, and the jalebi - sticky, free-form pretzels the colour of saffron - were bliss. Of course, less sweet-toothed types could opt for tea and fruit.
We talked our way through dinner and took our leave as the women returned to the prayer room.
We thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the hospitality, and the company even more. Sharing food is still the best way into someone else's life.
And you always make the same discovery - their life is mostly just like yours.
This year Ramadan culminates in the festival of Eid al-Fitr this Sunday.
So to all our friends at the Doncaster mosque, have a happy Eid and peace be with you, and the mercy of Allah.

COMPUTEX VIDEO: Taiwanese hardware maker Asus has seen its name-recognition rocket over the last year since it launched its Eee PC low-cost laptop. The machine kick-started a new segment of the portable computing industry and updated versions were launched this week.
Jerry Shen, CEO of Asustek, sat down with PC Advisor to talk about the Eee products and his plans.
This year's Computex show promises to be one of the most exciting for years, and PC Advisor's dedicated video reporter Martyn Williams is there to capture it all.

OK, I'm gonna assume you know how to rebuild a carb, there are a million books out there to tell you how to do it if you don't. This is here just to tell you what to do with your rebuilding knowledge. Also, I'm gonna assume you know that the idles screws should be about the same number of turns out, and how to adjust your floats. It really doesn't matter if it is a carburetor, FI, or whatever, my way to tune for street/strip is such:
All out drag tuning requires all jets to be equal on square bore carbs, jetted for best MPH, and the accelerator pumps tuned for fastest 60-foot times. Chokes and air horns are normally removed. Sometimes the PV is (mistakenly) removed. If the PV is removed, the car will load up in the pits, because jet sizes need to come up about 10, causing an over rich condition at part throttle.
General thoughts on the matter:
Increasing cam duration requires more jet.
A dual plane manifold can use a much bigger carb.
If you decrease the metering signal, you need to increase the jet (as you do when converting from a dual plane to a single plane manifold).
A blown power valve will have the greatest effect at idle and low RPM. You can check the carb by unbolting it from the manifold, putting the nuts back on the studs, and plopping the carb onto the studs. If you have an electric pump, turn it on. For a mechanical pump, completely remove the coil wire, and crank for about 15-30 seconds. The manifold and carb will be separated by a 1/2 inch or so, enough to see if any gas drips into the plenum when the engine is off (Don't try to start it!). If gas is present, check where it is coming from. There is a hole near the throttle plate that leads to the PV chamber. A blown PV will cause gas to drip from this hole(s). If it is dripping from the bores, the float level may be too high, or your carb has a crack.
The biggest city mileage killer is the accelerator pump.
A bigger jet requires less accelerator pump, a smaller more.
A dogleg style booster requires the most pump shot; the annular style the least.
The higher the velocity through the barrel, the better the atomization is. Better atomization means more efficiency (more MPG and Power). That's why dual planes typically give better MPG and performance up to the point where they start to choke off the upper CFM (and HP).
If you have a 600 CFM 4BBl carb on a true dual plane, the most any one cylinder can draw through the carb is 300CFM, where a single plane allows it to draw 600 (At its rated in. Hg, that is).

Mortality Differential and Growth: What do we Learn From the Barro-Becker Model?
The model of endogenous fertility by Barro and Becker (1989) is augmented by taking into account the heterogeneity of households in terms of capital endowments, mortality, and costs per surviving child. There exists a unique balanced growth path where the population growth rates of all dynasties are equal. An increase in mortality raises the time cost per surviving child, and enhances economic growth, while reducing parity and demographic growth. The mechanism rests on the quantity-quality trade-off of having children, summarized by the adjustment of the average rearing cost of a surviving child.

It seems the gaylaxy is a bit confused about the summer gay festivals in Montreal.
In fact, just the other day I received yet another letter asking me to clarify the differences between our big homo hooplas.
I thought I'd share the letter, as you might have the same internal* itching question!
Dear Daniel,
As my go-to-homo, what's the difference between Divers-Cite and Montreal Pride? Inquiring out-of-towners want to know! One has a parade and one doesn't… but I think its more complicated no?
Dear PridePrincess69,
Life is complicated, but gay festivals don't have to be!
This is actually a question that I am frequently posed. Luckily, for busy queers (and their allies) across the land, Montreal has two summer festivals to choose from. They are Divers/Cité and Montreal Pride Célébrations.
Allow me to explain the differences.
Divers/Cité is an internationally renowned LGBT festival. They have managed to provide stellar homo experiences for 18 years now. In 2007 the folks at Divers/Cité decided to focus on artistic programming, opting not to host a community day or pride parade. They are now a cultural festival that focuses on programming artists (musicians, dancers, personalities, DJs, etc). This year's line up includes Lady Bunny, Sister Sledge, DJ Ana Paula and TONS more. Their biggest event, La Grande Danse, is the largest free outdoor dance party in North America! This year's Divers/Cité is from July 26 – Aug 1.
Célébrations is the official Pride festivities of Montreal. They formed in 2007 to ensure that the community-based elements of the traditional pride movement were maintained. Célébrations organize the community day and parade, as well as many other associated events such as theatre, movies, art installations and, of course, a mega outdoors T-Dance. This year they'll be crowing the international 'Queer of the Year'! Pride in Montreal will be from August 10 – 15.
Personally, I think it's wonderful to have two summer festivals for travelers to choose from. And if you can't make up your mind, come to both!
*If the itch is external, I cannot help you. Sorry.

By attending the Cannes festival with a film entitled Synecdoche, New York, the American writer-director Charlie Kaufman has achieved the perhaps unprecedented feat of injecting a dash of glamour into grammar. Synecdoche means using part of a thing to invoke the whole - saying, for instance, Cannes, rather than the Cannes film festival. It's pronounced, we are told, sin-eck-do-key, which is no more difficult, the director claims, than saying Shenectady, where the film is based. Mr Kaufman says there's another advantage: "People will learn to pronounce another word, and that's always good, right?" Right. In the nature of this industry his example may stimulate rivals to ransack the pages of Fowler's Modern English Usage. Titles such as such as Prolepsis, Rawalpindi, and Paranomasia, Wokingham, may be on the way. Indeed, Prolepsis, which means stopping short of a word that the sentence seems to be leading to - as in "Well, I'll be ..." without specifying "blowed" or "jiggered", or worse - could perhaps be classed, along with ellipsis - the omission of parts of a standard construction - as an influence on the work of such cinematic auteurs as David Lynch and Michael Haneke. Mr Kaufmann's greatest gift to humanity, though, might be the use of titles which help the world to pronounce the previously unpronounceable. He should call his next film Kirkcaldy. What a shame it's now too late to produce a movie called Nuclear, which might have taught George Bush how to pronounce it.
· The following clarification was printed in the Guardian's Corrections and clarifications column, Saturday June 21 2008. We said in the above leader item that prolepsis means stopping short of a word that the sentence seems to be leading to, as in "Well, I'll be ...". That would be ellipsis or perhaps aposiopesis. Prolepsis involves the idea of anticipation, for example a rhetorical device for anticipating and answering objections ("You may argue that there is not much difference between prolepsis and ellipsis but Fowler maintains ... ") or the representation that something has taken place before it has happened ("she published the disputed correction on June 21").

Thank God for the comment
Thank God for the comment section. Even at the "great" price, I cannot afford to be out $170 to get something that doesn't work. toolness1 and others maybe saved my ass since I can only afford to buy about one gun per year. I've got two. Imagine if this was my third. BLech.
Read the comments, some
Read the comments, some hesitation, but really wanted one. Price overcame the risk. Glad it did. Better than I had hoped for. Did have a small crack, under far end of handguard and easily repairable and not visible. Received rifle in 4 days, to the door! Haven't shot yet but, headspaced nice! Good looking bore. Gotta say I'm pleasantly surprised! If shoots anything like it looks, it'll be a hoot.
Make that +2. Got mine in 1
Make that +2. Got mine in 1 week. Same thing, small crack that I can fix myself in about 30 minutes. Cleaned her up and everything looks good and functions so far. I have not shot the rifle yet, but have all the confidence I need to pull the trigger with either round.
Plus, being that the model is
Plus, being that the model is 1916 and 2016 coming up, 100 yr old model that still shoots.
Bought one, had to exchange
Bought one, had to exchange after it fell apart during first cleaning. Second rifle cannot cycle and has been deemed unsafe by three gunsmiths. I'm now out $30 for transfers and I am sending the rifle back for a refund, assuming I get a tag. their website number 1800-xxx-xxxx is not working and out of service, and I have to suggest NOT buying a gun from samco.
I live in FL but I got mine
I live in FL but I got mine in like 4 days. They are in pretty darn good shape for the price, the stocks did have some minor cracking in them as denoted by the ad, but not anything significant I'm worrying about. Sub $200 surplus rifles in this environment are pretty hard to find. Count your blessings IMO.
I have had three dealings
I have had three dealings with SAMCO. Two good, and the purchase of this rifle BAD.
The lugs on the bolt had been peened to correct excessive headspace. It was crazy obvious. The rifle didn't even fall under GOOD condition if you go by the NRA scale.
I emailed them and asked to return/exchange it, because it isn't safe to fire. It barely passes a field gauge even with the peened lugs.
They said "we are sorry and yes you may return it for an exchange"
Then nothing.... So I emailed them and asked them how to return it.
Then nothing...for a week or two.
Then they finally emailed me and said "we will send you a call tag" But they never sent it. So I emailed them to remind them they never sent me a call tag. Every couple weeks I would go back and forth like this, and all I would get is an email asking me "still didn't get it?" Very poor communication and English, to be honest.
The time I called the lady was VERY short and rude with me.
I gave up after 6 months of this.
Just beware, they are at the absolute bottom of the barrel on these.
Thanks for the review, pal.
Thanks for the review, pal. I'm sorry you got screwed, but you did save me from buying one of these. I was saving for a Kel-Tec, a .22lr semi or bolt action (I like bolt action) or maybe a home defense shotgun. When I saw this, I thought, "Hey, this would be great and it's so cheap!" Which made me suspicious enough to read the comment section... I'll keep saving.
i just ordered mine six days
i just ordered mine six days ago and today it was here. i cleaned it up and checked it over,no cracks in the stock or any other visible problems found, good clean bore. took it to the range and it shoots great. very happy with the purchase.
I bought one of these years
I bought one of these years ago from Samco. The chamber was oversized, as the first round split the entire length. Have a competant gunsmith check any older gun before firing.
Just this weekend I looked at
Just this weekend I looked at one of these in a gun shop and thought it was a pretty neat little rifle. I would love to buy one, but the description on their site says "Minor cracks," which really makes me reconsider buying one, even for $169.95. For a bit more money, I guess I'd be better off picking up an M48 or an M44.
Mine just arrived on Friday
Mine just arrived on Friday and although I was worried about the "minor cracks" warning, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. Not a crack to be seen
I believe that Samco is
I believe that Samco is offering free shipping during October.
Guns & ammo ran an article
Guns & ammo ran an article after they tested one of these. After people expressed concern over the issue of 7.62 vs 308 win SAMCO sent several to HP White laboratories for testing. It took excess of 98,000 pounds per square inch to destroy one of these little carbines. SAAMI max is 55,200 for 308 Win so I think you could safely say these rifles will be ok.
Truck, thanks for the info.
Truck, thanks for the info. Do you have a link to the article? Some documentation on this would put my mind at ease and potentially swing me to buy one...
Edit - I found the article below which references the Guns and Ammo Article from 9/1987.
Anyway to get .308 to use
Anyway to get .308 to use stripper clips for the 5 rnd internal box magazine? Would love to have a nice hunting rifle in .308 for this price point... sweet!
Does this company still
Does this company still charge ultra-high shipping to pad their profit?
I shot a couple hundred 308
I shot a couple hundred 308 win out of mine and reloads gun works flawless i picked up two.
Can't say you wern't told.
Can't say you wern't told. Good luck!
NOT .308 WIN! Be very careful
NOT .308 WIN! Be very careful with this. This rifle was converted from 7MM to 7.62X51 CETME not Nato, which is a lower pressure round. Unless you reload to lower pressure it may not be safe to fire Nato ammo.
That's not true. The Spanish
That's not true. The Spanish Mausers were checked by an expert, and they are more than capable of handling .308.
Many were rechambered by
Many were rechambered by cutting the breech back (meaning less mass at the front of the chamber) and by inserting a plug in 7.62mm. While they may be adequately strong, eventually, propellant gas erodes solder in the barrel lede and can cut into the throat.
Care to share with us who
Care to share with us who that "expert" is? 7.62 CETME was specifically developed by the Spanish military for these conversions before the adoption of 7.62 Nato ammunition. You don't have to take my word for it, just google it and decide what is the truth.
DGP4, it might be hard for
DGP4, it might be hard for erwos to share with us who that supposed "expert" might be without also revealing that erwos is a shill poster. (Does anyone else suspect that the so-called "expert" in question is, much like erwos, on SAMCO's payroll?)
Is everybody that disagrees
Is everybody that disagrees with you a "shill poster"? This is your standard label that you've applied to me and several others, especially in the VZ-58 thread. Did you even check out the link to the article about the high pressure testing? Now that you've been proven wrong (again), will you please shut up and stop giving bad advice?
Thanks Shy. My point was to
Thanks Shy. My point was to warn people that these rifles were originally chambered in a lower pressure 7MM caliber and they need to be careful using much higher pressure .308 commercial ammo. I was not saying they will blow up. As noted by another commentator, headspace problems with these rifles is a big issue since they do not have matching bolts. All I am saying is be careful which applies to any military surplus guns.
It in the history of these
It in the history of these rifles that the conversion was not nato 308 but the lower pressure Cetme. I doubt & hope these are not stamped 308 win. These are by no means K98 Mausers!
I had sent (and returned)
I had sent (and returned) THREE M1916 Spanish Mausers from SAMCO, for one problem or another.
Wouldn't buy another rifle from this company!
rifle did not pass headspace
rifle did not pass headspace check with a no-go and field gage.
Was returned to samco for new bolt, Samco cooperated by paying shipping and promising to return original purchased rifle that I had refinished stock and install flash protector.
Awaiting return now.
I purchased a 1916 a few
I purchased a 1916 a few weeks back. It was at my door in a week. I inspected the gun and found an issue with the safety, the gun wouldn't fire when the safety was on but when it was moved to 'off' the firing pin engaged. It may have just needed a cleaning, but I was concerned. I contacted Samco and they immediately replied with a free UPS return packing slip and an apology for the inconvenience. A+ customer service in my mind. Shipping was $25. box included a sling and cap. Mismatched #s but wood and bore looked good.
How's that working for you?

Geeze; the math hurts my brain! Is that $39.99 + shipping for 100 rounds?
How much shipping to 65606 ( Missouri) ??
Thanks for offering this up .. 8mm is my smallest pile. Other than my wallet
Got a chance to get a couple cases of 8mm from a bud, so already having a bunch I thought I'd offer some up to my buds here.
I have 2 flavors,, Yugo 11-49 mfg still sealed,, and the copro projectile ones in the bandoliers,, there marked 7.9/FS/1943/ T*u C what ever that head stamp is. I don't know. Those were opened last year and have been stored in ammo cans,, and as you can see there super clean. I have 500+ in bandoliers and 500 Yugo in 15rnd box's both on strippers. I should have the rest of the Yugo by next Thursday or so. When I pick those up I'll fill the Yugo orders for those then, bandolier-d ones available now.
I am going to offer these up in 100 rnd lots, and 100 limit per member if there's a high demand,, if not I'll sell each member more if they want. I'm offering this up to the long time members ONLY,,,at $6 per box of 15. Please only members with minimum of 100 post need request,, been burnt by a couple newbie's in the past so,,,it is what it is. Sorry , new guys.
I know some of you were looking so I grabbed the extra case for you guys if you need some. I'm only going to make a dollar on each box to cover my driving across-ed the state to get them but I think it's fair considering what I've seen them for lately. Hope it helps out you folks that can't find any mil-serp. stuff.
Of course I'll need ammo disclaimer or FOID copy with payment to cover my butt and make the law happy.

I seldom talk to liberals.............................. But when I do, I order fries............
Yup,, 40 cents per round,,,,I'll have to do up a sample box and have it weighted at the PO to figure that out shipping will be. I'm guessing around,, 5-6 bucks probably.
It was my smallest pile too, and I have more 8mm Mausers than anything else in my collection,,, what's up with that?? Seems everyone's in the same boat. I haven't seen any in a long time, that's why I grabbed it. The last I saw was 2 years ago and the store wanted something like 8-9 bucks a box,, back then, I can't find it at all now,, well on GB there's some,,, but @ 10 bucks a box,,,,and bids still climbing,,, ouch!!!! Screw the GB bunch,,there always higher than a woodpeckers hole on everything.IMO
That's why I grabbed an extra case when I had the opportunity,, lots of folks here said they weren't able to find it ,, so,,,, here it is if ya need some.
I bought a yugo Mauser not long ago and 1 box of S&B soft points. I would jump on a 100rnd lot twa!
Pm inbound!
Reply sent,,,,, I'd better ask those in the know,,, what's "Commiefornia's" laws pertaining to ammo shipped from out of state??? I don't have a clue.
Well; If I have enough posts to qualify, I'll "pull the trigger" on my 100 round limit.
provided shipping is not crazy to Missouri.
" Save a tree...........Eat A Beaver!"
I seldom talk to liberals.............................. But when I do, I order fries............
I'll get in on this too, PM me whatever info that's needed, it will be shipped to 17601
I'm also going to jump the gun, if you don't get enough people interested I'd like to buy more
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
TWA already knows I am in
I am just posting this to raise my post count
Sprat and sprat1 are one and the same.
I'm just going to say shipping will be around 6 bucks or so,, if it's more I'll just eat it. I'm not trying to make money here,,not my job,,, just hooking you guys up on some hard to find ammo that I managed to luck out finding.
As long as it don't cost me $$$ no biggie. Just covering my costs. It's all good,, 400 down, 6 to go.
All I'll need guys, is shipping address, ammo disclaimer, or FOID copy if it apply's and which ammo you want,,, the ?? in the bandoliers,, or the Yugo that will be in hand by the end of next week, the plan is for me to pick it up Thursday if there's no snafu's,, your call folks.
Well some bucks would be good too I guess,,,,I'll just say 46 delivered per 100rnds,,, there I go getting all fussy again!!! MO's would be best for me,, I'm not a business just a regular guy. For any of you that want the bandoliers, I can ship that out right off, and for those of you I've done business with before, I'll just shoot it right out to you and I'll just get the bucks when it gets here,,, no biggie !! I do have coils address still I think. No prob on extra if it don't fly outa here coils, I want to be fair and let everyone get a crack at some though. That's why the 100 limit. I know it's tough to come by now days.
PM sent as they say. Heh...Heh
I would hate to see you get stuck with any left overs, so I'll bat cleanup !!

How Machine Tools Can Save Energy
It starts with energy-efficient designs of the servo and spindle systems. This article introduces useful concepts such as the difference between direct and indirect energy consumption.
Energy usage is becoming a more important factor in determining the overall efficiency of automation systems, including CNC machine tools. Conserving energy cuts costs and protects the environment. An article by Paul Webster, engineering manager at FANUC FA America, explores the topic and focuses on the value of modern electrical motor design for CNC machine tools, injection machines and other automated production equipment. "Energy Saving Designs in Factory Automation Equipment" also introduces a number of key concepts in energy consumption and efficiency strategies.

A high profile Mongrel Mob member on the run from police who has links to Hawke's Bay has been captured in New Plymouth.
Mana Tangitutu, 27, who has the words "East Coast mongrel forever" and three large M's tattooed on his face, sparked an extensive man hunt when he escaped police custody in Whakatane last week after being handed a four month prison sentence for assault.
This morning Whakatane Police and New Plymouth Armed Offenders Squad coordinated a search warrant at a house in New Plymouth where Tangitutu was arrested without incident.
He will appear in New Plymouth District Court today charged with escaping custody.
The Hawke's Bay Today archives revealed Tangitutu's trail of offending as an 18-year-old in Hastings.
In 2003, he was sentenced in the Hawke's Bay courts for his part in an unprovoked attack on a tourist, and the same year told a court how he passed a knife to a man on trial for a fatal stabbing.
At the time of the unprovoked assault, Judge Dale Clarkson called Tangitutu's actions "a disgraceful piece of violence". He was one of three men who punched and kicked a Malaysian tourist in a daylight attack.
Months later he told the Napier High Court how he gave a knife to the man on trial for fatally stabbing 18-year-old Gavin Arthur outside a Hastings party.

Earl Hunt,
University of Washington
let me give my version of the facts. In 1997, the American Psychological
Foundation (APF), an organization closely tied to the American
Psychological Association (APA), announced that Raymond B. Cattell,
who was then in his 90s, had been awarded the APF/APA Gold Medal
Award for lifetime contributions to scientific psychology (Gold
Medal, 1997). At the opening of the 1997 annual convention Joseph
Matarazzo, the chair of the awards committee, announced that Cattell
had been accused of racism and even sympathies with forced eugenics
policies such as those practiced by the Nazi regime in the 1930s
and 1940s. Matarazzo said that the committee was surprised by
such accusations, and would suspend the granting of the award
until the situation was clarified. Subsequently APA and APF announced
the formation of a committee of experts (although the nature of
the expertise was not specified), who were to look into the matter.
Before the committee issued their report the Cattell family, acting
for the now-terminally ill scientist, asked that his name be withdrawn
from consideration for the award. Cattell died shortly thereafter,
rending the issue, in the narrow, moot. However the whole incident
clearly outraged a number of scientists. Electronic mail flew
fast and furious. I have a Cattell file with over 80 entries,
and I have no reason to think that I was party to all the messages.
Indeed, the decision to publish the current special edition of
this journal has been controversial. What is all the fuss about,
and are there any lessons to be drawn from the unfortunate affair?
facts are undisputed. Cattell made major contributions to science,
especially in the fields of psychometrics, theories of intelligence,
and theories of personality. His scientific contributions, narrowly
defined, are comparable to those of previous winners of Gold Medals
from the APA/APF organizations. What is at issue is how he tried
to have his scientific findings and beliefs turned into social
believed that intelligence is largely genetically determined.
In a speech given in 1994, and published some years later (Cattell,
1998) he stated that fluid intelligence was 80% genetically controlled,
and crystallized intelligence 40% genetically controlled. While
some people might think that Cattells estimates were on
the high side, virtually every knowledgeable scientist believes
that individual differences in mental competence are substantially
determined by genetic inheritance. The APA itself has published
numerous books and articles dealing with genetic contributions
to intelligence, so the organizations policy is clearly
not to regard a scientific discussion of these issues as anathema.
the outset of his career, Cattell believed that the scientific
data on intelligence, and especially the genetic contribution,
put severe constraints on desirable social policy. Before World
War II, when he was in his 30s and thus well beyond the normal
age for youthful indiscretion, Cattell observed the fact that
intelligence test scores and fertility indices are negatively
correlated, and concluded that unless corrective actions were
taken the average intelligence in Western countries would drop.
He persisted in this belief throughout his career. The 1998 article
refers approvingly to data indicating a drop of 1 IQ point for
every 10 years in the American population. It is worth noting
that the negative IQ-fertility coefficient has not been seriously
challenged but that Cattell was clearly wrong about the drop in
intelligence over the population. Data which was widely known
at the time of the conference shows that the mean intelligence
score in industrialized countries is rising (Neisser, 1998). The
rise is clearly due to environmental factors, but there is little
agreement over the specific factors involved.
observed rise in intelligence does not mean that Cattell was wrong.
Genetic inheritance does not determine ones intelligence
test score, but it does determine the potential that one has for
achieving intellectual competence. (Try to teach a chimpanzee
to read! Given huge effort, you may get them to about the first
grade level.) If environments become favorable mean IQ scores
could go up while population intelligence potentials went down,
or for that matter, in unfavorable environments the scores could
go down as the potential went up. This could happen, for instance,
if there were selective mortality during a famine. Given the range
of uncertainties, arguing that one or the other effect, or both,
is occurring in our society today seems pointless.
to improve intellectual competence, at a population level, are
certainly not pointless. After all, this is what schools are supposed
to do. We also have practices that are, technically, both voluntary
and involuntary eugenics. (We do not use the term because of its
association with Nazism, but the practice is there nonetheless.)
People who are carriers of genetic defects are counseled concerning
the probable effect on offspring, and certain classes of people,
notably the institutionalized mentally retarded, are treated in
a manner that makes it unlikely that they will have children.
Note that this does not necessarily mean sterilization. Practices
involving rigid control of living situations are far more common
and, most of us believe, justified.
pushed the argument for genetic intervention much further, arguing
(in the 1930s) differences in intellectual competence between
races and social groups were genetically determined. He later
acknowledged social influences, but never said that genetic differences
were unimportant. It should be noted that this view was more common
among psychologists in the 1930s than it is today, and that the
change in view is at least partly due to evidence of minority
group accomplishments that was gathered after World War II. I
think that modern scientists regard these questions as unanswerable
until we have fine-grained knowledge of the relation between the
genome and behaviour. We can imagine some time in the future when
Cattells assertions could be evaluated, but at the present
they are just speculation, and as such hardly adequate guides
for social action. This was as true in the 1930s as it is today.
is a point on which Cattell can be faulted. He did not hesitate
to draw social conclusions based on his speculations, as opposed
to conclusions based on a careful reading of the scientific evidence.
Cattell also believed that within-group variation in intellectual
and other abilities would lead to social unrest. Therefore he
argued for social controls to ensure homogenous groups within
national boundaries. This is perilously close to Hitlers
argument for a Master Race. It is also essentially an anti-diversity
argument, and as such does not accord with many present-day beliefs.
Whatever ones stands on the desirability of the social outcomes,
I know of no scientific findings that put constraints on, in modern
terms, either diversity or anti-diversity policies. The argument
for the social policies rests on value judgements, not conformity
with inevitable scientific laws. Cattell did not present the issue
this way, and some of his strongest supporters criticized his
order to keep some sense of proportion, it is also worth pointing
out that Cattells social views had very little influence
on actual politics or political philosophy, either in the 1930s
or today. I doubt that Hitler ever heard of him. (In fact, I also
think that Hitler launched his genocidal campaigns because he
wanted to get rid of the Jews, regardless of genetic arguments.
The genocide in modern Rwanda, which on a per-year basis was comparable
to the Holocaust, was based on social conflicts.) As for modern
influence, a literature search of journals devoted to social affairs
and news articles found only three references to Beyondism, two
reviews of Cattells book and a disparaging mention of Cattell
in an article on eligibility requirements for college athletes!
By contrast, a search of the terms Crystallized Intelligence or
Fluid Intelligence turned up 465 references. The 465:3 ratio seems
about correct. The debate about his social and philosophic ideas
is pretty well encapsulated. This is important because our formalized
moral system, the law, treats attempted proscribed actions less
severely than completed ones, even when the failure to act is
solely due to the incompetence of the actor.
the facts are that Cattell had major accomplishments within the
field of science, and made some highly dubious attempts to apply
science to public affairs. Do the questionable applications overrule
his scientific accomplishments or are they irrelevant to our evaluation
of him? To answer this question we have to look to the policies
of the organization that awarded, then did not award, the prize.
We are more interested in its policies as revealed by its actions
than its rather vaguely stated formal policies.
APA encourages its members to inject their scientific expertise
into political affairs. The article in the American Psychologist
immediately after the article on Cattell was an award to the
developmental psychologist and sometime government official, Edward
Ziegler, for doing just that. Therefore the APA/APF committees
were on firm grounds when they, belatedly, decided to consider
Cattells social applications of science along with his contributions
to science. However, to the extent that APA/APF see themselves
as scientific associations, they should not have considered the
social values implicit in Cattells scientific conclusions.
For instance, even if the committee members might want to believe
that there is no genetic contribution to intelligence, I do not
believe that they, as scientists, could fault Cattells conclusion
that there is, for the evidence is overwhelming. As social activists,
the committee members could decline to provide an award for a
message that they did not want to hear. However, that is not one
of the announced criterion for the Gold Medal award.
that there is no claim, by anyone, that Cattell falsified data
to support a social conclusion. If he had done so then, whatever
conclusion he might have reached and regardless of the amount
of independent proof for that conclusion, he would have committed
an irremediable breach of scientific ethics. The claim is that
he recklessly went beyond the data in his interpretations. Since
several of his friends and colleagues have dissociated themselves
with his social conclusions, there is at least an arguable case
that he did so. Therefore any award committee has to weigh the
good with the bad. I suspect that this is what the APA/APF committee
would say that the expert committee was going to do. However this
is inadequate, as I argue below. Leaving aside for a moment the
procedure that was followed, should Cattell have gotten the prize?
scientific actions, narrowly defined, were excellent. His applications
of science to public policy were questionable both for his logic,
which is relevant to science, his motivations, which are not,
and the social consequences that would follow if his recommendations
were followed. Considerations of the consequences are reasonable
in evaluating his career, for the seriousness of the consequences
speak to the need for carefulness in the logic. Lawyers say that
"Hard cases make bad law." This means that if you are
going to cite a precedent, cite one where the issues are clear.
Cattell presented a hard case, and so we probably learn nothing
at all concerning the assignment of honours by discussing him.
We can, however, use the case to illustrate how complicated things
can be.
analysis makes it appear that all sides Cattell, his supporters,
and the APA/APF committees behaved honorably. So why all
the fuss? There is another aspect of the affair in which there
is a lesson to be drawn. In debates about complicated issues,
as opposed to political campaigns, we should concentrate on generating
light, not heat. This is where a great many people failed.
the 1930s Cattell used terms like eugenics, that were in
fairly common currency. Over time eugenics acquired connotations
of blatant racism and even genocide. Cattell obstinately clung
to an archaic vocabulary that was bound to incite passions. His
1998 chapter discusses eugenics and refers to Asians as Mongolians!
I am sure that he would say that he was merely using a "scientific"
term, and meant no derogatory interpretation. Well, Humpty-Dumpty
said that words meant what he wanted them to mean, and we know
what happened to Humpty-Dumpty. This lesson applies far beyond
Cattell. Several current authors (names withheld to protect the
guilty) who take strong positions on the biological determinants
of intelligence, also use words that they must know are bound
to be offensive. That is a bad idea. If it is absolutely necessary,
the author should be extremely careful to define just how he or
she is using the word. The same thing applies to the tenor of
arguments. I am firmly of the opinion that much (but not all)
of the acrimony in the debate over intelligence, genetics, and
ethnicity could be avoided if people would be very careful about
how they say things. I am not calling for any blunting of the
logic, I am calling for politeness and sensitivity. I did not
know Cattell personally at all, I only met him three times. I
do know that he wrote on very sensitive manners in a way that
could lead him to be perceived as arrogant, insensitive, and uncaring.
APA committee was similarly insensitive. Matarazzo claimed that
the committee had no knowledge of Cattells philosophical
and political writings. They had no right to plead ignorance.
I have seen excerpts from two of the letters written in support
of Cattells nomination for the APA/APF award. In both cases
the writers mention Cattells philosophical positions, and
one gave citations. The writers dissociated themselves from this
aspect of Cattells work, but recommended the award on balance.
If the award committee did not know of Cattells philosophy
it was their own fault. At the time that the objections were made
they could, honorably, have either gone ahead with the award and
apologized to the objectors for a poor reviewing job or could
have delayed (which they did do) and apologized to Cattell and
his family for doing a poor job. Instead they disdained to apologize
and urged that another committee of experts be appointed
to review the un-reviewed material. The need for an expert committee
has never been made clear, for no technical issues were involved.
What the appointing of an outside committee did was (a) further
politicize the discussion, because the new committee now had to
be politically balanced and (b) offered APA a chance for delay.
The delay was useful politically but, I believe, unjustifiable
morally. If you have made a mistake, acknowledge it, apologize
for it, and get right on to fixing the situation. The APA and
APF did neither, and the result was shoddy treatment of a man
who, whatever his imperfections, certainly had contributed enough
to be legitimately considered for high scientific honors.
what is the bottom line? There are clear cases of unethical science.
Scientists, as social groups, should discipline these individuals.
There are cases of people who do good, even great, science and
are unethical, even evil, in totally unrelated activities. I think
that they should be honored as scientists, and prosecuted for
their other actions. There are cases in between Cattell
was one of them and those cases are always going to be
hard to judge. The in-between cases will almost always arise when
scientific findings are applied to social action. The act of applying
science to society is, in the abstract, a thing to be encouraged.
In the concrete, policy recommendations lead to debates that mix
issues of scientific evaluation with issues of moral values. Such
debates can easily degenerate into shouting matches. As much as
is humanly possible, we must speak with sensitivity, be careful,
concentrate on the issues, and apologize when mistakes are made.
Both Cattell and the APA can be faulted for not realizing how
important these seemingly inane principles are.

I can totally see ESFP for Erica
I have only seen 5 episodes, so bare with me.
Scott - ISFP
Allison - ISFJ
Lydia - ESTJ
Derek - ISTJ
Stiles - ESFP - I put this down to mainly his quick actions, and in the first episode he jumped at the chance to see something "exciting" without really thinking it through.
Jackson - ESTP - Very typical jock type. I am hoping I get to see more of his character, and of Lydia's instead of them being the "perfect" high school couple. The jock, and the popular girl.
I am wondering is there any possibility of Allison being an INFJ?
She seems to follow her intuition and trusts her gut instincts.
I would like to see more of Allison's character development next season, because she slightly strikes me as a Ni user, but I don't have a reason why yet.
Is this that horrendous Jason Bateman movie? For that actor, I would guess ESTP (just doesn't come off as a good intuitive imo - the kind of reasoning I, as an inferior Se type, tend to be a bit allergic to in people (the overly face-value, not really looking beyond the actions/what's spelled out for you stuff going on with him a little, I suspect) - between thinking feeling, I can't really say anything official about him, other than he seems more Fe "plastic/put-on" than not - not sure he's really that Ti though, doesn't have to be - the MBTI label's just a crude-fitting label - from a Jungian perspective, I really don't know that that suits him that well beyond functions).
Does anyone have thoughts about enneatypes of the characters? It would be very interesting to hear some ideas. Also, I find that Allison starts to strike me as an INFJ. Thoughts?
Here are my thoughts on types
Scott: ISFP
Allison: IXFJ
Lydia: ESTP
Jackson: ESTP
Derek: ISTJ
Stiles: ENFP ??? I'm really not sure, but I don't think he's an INTP
Issac: ISFJ
Erica: ESFP
Boyd: ISTP
Gerard: INTJ that or ENTJ
Chris: ISTJ ?
As for enneagram, I really don't know sorry :c
