Steve Smith caught five passes for 69 yards and a touchdown and Mike Tolbert added a rushing score for the Panthers (3-3), who reached the .500 mark for the first time since finishing 8-8 in 2009.
St. Louis quarterback Sam Bradford was 21-of-30 for 255 yards with a touchdown and an interception before suffering a season-ending knee injury in the fourth quarter. The Rams (3-4) entered the game ranked third in the NFL in the red zone but came away with just one touchdown in three trips.
Munnerlyn picked off Bradford and went 45 yards for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage as the defenses set the tone early. The Rams cut it to 7-2 when Eugene Sims tackled Tolbert in the end zone, but Carolina's defense came up with the bulk of the big plays and forced three turnovers.
Neither team scored an offensive touchdown until Tolbert's 1-yard plunge capped an 80-yard drive to give Carolina a 17-5 lead with 1:05 left before halftime. The Panthers found some consistency on offense after the break, as Newton's 19-yard touchdown pass to Smith was sandwiched between a pair of Graham Gano field goals.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Bradford underwent an MRI exam on Sunday night that revealed a torn ACL in his left knee, according to multiple media outlets. ... Rams DE Chris Long was ejected early in the third quarter after being called for unnecessary roughness following a skirmish involving several players. The teams combined for five personal foul penalties. … Smith's touchdown catch was the 800th reception of his career, making him the 29th player in NFL history to reach the milestone. … Bradford was injured when he was pushed out of bounds by Mike Mitchell. He was helped to the bench and later left the sideline area on a cart.

Nancy Pelosi proves that botox rots the brain. Pelosi also proves that liberalism/progressivism is a mental disorder. San Fran Nan had her final press conference as House Speaker today. And according to Fox Nation, Pelosi had the audacity to say:
"Deficit reduction has been a high priority for us. It is our mantra, pay-as-you-go."
WHAT THE F? Lets examine the FACTS. Democrats took over Congress in January of 2007 after crushing Republicans in the 2006 elections, mainly because of their out of control spending, and several Republicans involved in corruption. At the time Pelosi became Speaker of the House when the Democrats took over, the national debt stood at a now paltry $8,670,596,242,973.04. Thats $8 TRILLION $670 MILLION. As of yesterday, the nation debt exceeded $14 trillion for the first time in American history! Of course, that was far from paltry, but compared to now, it is. This is a whopping $5.4 TRILLION increase in the national debt in just four years! Furthermore, the year over year federal deficit has roughly quadrupled during Pelosi's four years as speaker, from $342 billion in fiscal year 2007 to an estimated $1.6 trillion at the end of fiscal year 2010. But yea, keep on believing that Democrats/Marxists/Progressives/Liberals priority was "deficit reduction."

John Howard's 1996 triumph
It's twenty years since John Howard defeated Paul Keating to win the Prime Ministership.
Howard saved himself – at least in part – by visiting what he has long held to be Australia's deepest dream. It is also his own.
The white picket fence.
In the first half of 2001, much of Australia was in uproar about petrol prices, roads cracking up, difficulties in complying with the GST. Even beer prices.
Howard, thought likely to lose the coming election to Labor's Kim Beazley, undertook all sorts of policy contortions to deal with the howling. But he had another problem: a mid-year byelection in the south-east Melbourne electorate of Aston which would severely test his tenuous hold on power.
Howard looked at the suburban sea of red roofs across Aston and saw a chance in hopes and dreams. A year previously he had introduced the $7000 first-home buyers' grant. Now, desperate, he suddenly doubled it to $14,000.
Mortgageville responded. The Liberal candidate, Chris Pearce, won Aston, and Howard knew he was back in the game.
He always contended he believed from that moment he'd win against Beazley and that it was suburban Australia – not the fear engendered a few months later when hijacked jets smashed into the Twin Towers in New York, nor even his own appeal to xenophobia when the Tampa, laden with asylum seekers, sailed to Christmas Island – that saved him.
His argument has always seemed convenient, designed to limit history's judgment on him for using the wretchedness of asylum seekers and his government's election-eve rush to damn them as the sort of people who would throw their children into the sea.
Nevertheless, Howard went on to become Australia's longest-serving PM since his hero, Sir Robert Menzies, forever reaching out to his aspirationals, defining them in his own image.
You need to look back much further than his long years in Parliament to begin to understand what drove Howard, and what had created the image he so wanted to see reflected when he looked out across his Australia.
He was born on the eve of the outbreak of World War II in 1939, but it was the earlier World War I that would help shape his outlook. Both Howard's father and his grandfather, unusually, served on the Western Front, and he revered them.
At 16, Howard lost his father, who had never fully recovered from being gassed at Passchendaele.
John Howard, thus, found himself one of four children of a single mother in Menzies' Australia.
Howard's famed work ethic had already been fostered as he helped his ailing father pump petrol at the family's service station in Sydney.
Many years later, Paul Keating tried belittling Howard by calling him "bowser boy".
Keating, however, would lose his prime ministership to Howard, who proved a lot more complicated and tough than his enemies understood.
Having never got the chance to serve on a real battlefield – he was congenitally deaf – Howard had transferred his hopes of emulating his grandfather and father to another form of warfare: politics.
His years as a politician and a leader were to prove unusually turbulent, but when John Howard finally chose a single phrase, a banner under which he marched to the prime ministership, he settled on two words that captured the great myth of the Menzies era, and one that had surely evaded the deaf boy who lost the father he could never quite live up to, and who slogged his way through university forever aware that he alone wore two large hearing aids.
He wanted his Australia to be "comfortable and relaxed".
He wanted what had been denied him, and he knew a lot of other little Australians wanted it, too, even though it would prove elusive.
Precisely 10 years ago, as John Howard celebrated with a cup of tea his decade as prime minister, at last momentarily comfortable and relaxed, he opened up, just a little, about the essential nature of his political success.
"A whole lot of people like that picket fence, Mr Wright," he declared. "They may not have a picket fence, but they know what it means."
He had barely mentioned the picket fence since late 1988, when he had released a manifesto called Future Directions. It featured on the cover a smiling nuclear family – mum, dad, two kids – standing behind a white picket fence.
It was a picture of what Howard himself had lost as a child.
It was howled down as hopelessly out of date, an anachronistic vision filled with nostalgia for the 1950s.
Feminists and critics called it "Back to the Future".
Within six months, Howard was overthrown as opposition leader for Andrew Peacock.
But he kept in his heart the white picket fence and all he believed it meant: all through the following wilderness years and on his journey back up the ladder to leadership and, on March 2, 1996, 20 years ago, to the prime ministership.

Borrowed this from detailing world just thought it was really nice! Ide love it!!I have to say over the few days I had this in I fell in love with it; its the kind of classic that could quite easily cross Europe without breaking sweat, and with its comfortable seats and full length Webasto sunroof, won't leave you feeling tired at the end of your journey.
Some of you will probably never seen one of these before - basically think BMW CS coupe with 4 doors.
Showing just 79k on the clock and with original paintwork from the waistline up, it really is a cherished car, and can normally be found lurking in the classic section of the Gaydon BMW show.
Basically I was asked to give the paintwork an enhancement to knock back the swirling and improve the gloss.
How she looked on arrival, clean would be a good way of describing it
First job was engine bay and wheels, making sure to cover up so of the more delicate areas, water & 35 year old electrics don't mix very well.....
Wheels were removed, as the style didn't really allow for easy cleaning to the backs
As you can see they were a bit grubby, however they are un-laquered alloys so years of baked on brake dust was never going to be totally removed, but it gave me an oportunity to try out some Iron-Cut I got from I4Detailing
Iron-Cut doing its stuff...
Now, I forgot to get an after :o , but will say even with multiple hits with AS smartwheels and followed up with Iron-Cut the wheels were still far from perfect.
Copper grease applied to hub before replacing wheels and doing the nuts up to factory torque settings. Process repeated to all wheels
Usual wash & clay procedure was then carried out - no pics as it was getting late on day 1
Day 2, i made a start on the paintwork, which had a lot of original single stage metallic with a lot of it reading sub 100 microns, so a bit of extra care was required on these areas; I chose a multiple hit approach with Menz 203s on a yellow 3M pad for those areas, giving me a very controlled level of removal, 3.02 was used on the lower areas with the newer clear coated paint.
Various before and afters - different colours are down to the lights and me not changing my white balance setting :o
The roof was the worst area a) because it was pretty badly scratched b) most of the paint was reading around 85 - 90 microns, so the best I could hope for was to reduce the appearance of the RDS
A sort of 50/50 the side nearest the camera shows a great improvement in the RDS and clarity of the paint
Same area from the opposite angle
The whole finish was then refined further with SV CF Pro, leaving the paintwork nice and glossy
Whilst I was doing that, I got the missus busy with the Britemax metal polish & sealant on all the brightwork - she was well impressed...... :rolleyes:
Next up was the wax - Swissvax Best of Show, while that was curing all the other finishing touches were completed, tires dressed with Pneu, glass cleaned with 3M glass cleaner, interior given a quick vac and wipedown.
Wax buffed off leaving this....
Some final shots outdoors
Cheers for looking

Hello everyone ^^
Hope you're fine
I'm a new knitter and I decided to start my projects since I can read and understand patterns, but I'm facing a problem in choosing the right yarn type and brand especially that I'm going to order them online and I have no idea of the different types like ( Worsted Weight, bulky and chunky) which is good for what , so I need your help and experience.
I'm thinking to have Red Heart or Knit Picks , what do you think of these two brands ?
Note : my projects will be scarfs, bags and amigurames till now ^^
My personal (rather vehement) opinion is anything but Red Heart. But I openly acknowledge that I have a distaste of that company's products as a whole for many reasons that I won't really go into on here. I will only use Red Heart for pieces made for pets or for welcome mats.
Some people hate RH and some love it, and there's more than just one kind of yarn, some are softer than others. Best thing is to try out different yarns for different projects and see what you like. A hand wash only yarn wouldn't be a good idea for something that needs to be washed frequently; you probably want the acrylic yarn for the toys.
Fingering or sock, worsted and bulky refer to the thickness of the yarn, also called it's 'weight' which has nothing to do with the weight of the skein. A worsted is a medium thickness and suitable for a large variety of projects. Fingering or sock weight (these are about the same thickness and are used interchangeably) can be used on small needles for socks, or larger needles for lacey items, and sometimes on in between needles for baby sweaters or hats. Bulky is fairly thick and is usually used for heavier scarves or hats, sometimes sweaters.
If you have a craft store like Joanns, Michaels, AC Moore or Hobby Lobby near you, just go visit their yarn department. Pick up and feel different kinds of yarn and see what you like and see how different they are from each other.
Red Heart is scratchy. I don't like Lion brand or Vanna's Choice (by Lion) because they split. I'm always having to rip out my work or fix stitches because the needle tip didn't get it all. For acrylics, a good one is Bernat. Using wool or acrylics is up to you. I think the natural fibers feel heavenly to knit with. Knitpicks would be a good choice. If you want easy care, the Superwash wools are good. For a beginner, I would suggest a sport or worsted weight with a size 8 needles.
Another advantage to using wool is that it stays warm even when wet. This can make a big difference if you're walking in a snowstorm, shoveling snow, or sledding and get your hat and mittens soaked. I found this out the hard way when waiting for a bus in cold winds, shivering in wet acrylic mittens. I'm currently getting ready for winter by knitting mittens in wool this time. I'm not going to make that mistake again.
Hi there!
Of the two yarns you've mentioned, I've only used Red Heart. My personal preference is not to use it anymore. As with all things, YMMV. An inexpensive worsted yarn is Caron's Super Soft.
That said, what yarn sizes are recommended for your pattern? I use that as a rough guesstimate when buying yarn, and also when buying patterns. There are some yarn sizes I just don't care to work with.
You may want to check out this page for more info: http://knitfits.theotherbell.com/yarnsize.htm
If your pattern calls for worsted weight, fingering yarn or super bulky are probably not the best substitutes, and vice versa.
Happy yarn hunting!
I hate Red Heart Super Saver, but Red Heart Soft is okay if you're looking for an inexpensive yarn. Most Caron or Bernat isn't too bad. Wool is fine, but not everyone can wear wool (me included) so choose based on who's going to be wearing it. Also some wools are scratchier than others.
The problem with suggesting any yarn though is that you may feel differently than I do. Experience is the best teacher.
Thank you all so much <3
suzeeq : you gave me a base idea about the yarn weights thanks alot ^^
fatoldladyinbjs : ya winter is coming so I'll put wool in counter
jan in CA : YES experience is the best teacher but the expert friends saves your money ^*
Q: do you think the wool mixed with silk is softer than the pure one ?What about alpaca ? Is it soft enough to wear it on skin ? :muah:
My advice would be to visit your local yarn shop and feel the skeins. See what you think and ask questions. The LYS will give you personalized service and often recommend the right size needle or give you some tips with knitting with it. Many new knitters bring their work into my LYS for some help with problems. They help them at no charge.
My suggestion would be to buy one skein of a yarn you're interested in. Make something small with it, like a hat or a purse. Try it out. If you don't like it, at least you're not out a lot of money. Jan is right. Some wools are scratchier than others. Fisherman's Wool by Lion is one I would not use. Two of my favorites are Brown Sheep and Cascade (I think that's the brand name) 100% Peruvian wool. If anybody else has some suggestions for other wool yarns that are good, I would love to hear about them.

Read an Excerpt
THE ONE YEAR DEVOS for teens 2
By Susie Shellenberger
Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.Copyright © 2005 Susie Shellenberger
All right reserved.
Chapter OneWHAT'S IMPORTANT TO GOD?
The Bible tells us that someday every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. We're also told that every single one of us will stand before God on a great Day of Judgment. Have you ever wondered what that will be like? What will God be concerned with? What will he ask? Let's think about that for a moment.
• God won't ask what kind of car you drove, but he might ask how many people you drove who didn't have transportation.
• God won't ask how big your house was, but he might ask how many people you welcomed into your home.
• God won't ask about your social status, but he might ask what kind of class you displayed.
• God won't ask what your highest salary was, but he might ask if you compromised your character or his will to obtain that salary.
• God won't ask how many promotions you received, but he might ask how you promoted others-how you encouraged them and considered them more important than yourself.
• God won't ask how many material possessions you had, but he might ask if they dictated your life.
• God won't ask what neighborhood you lived in, but he might ask you how you treated your neighbors.
God is concerned with the status of your heart. He's also concerned about your actions. And the truth is, our actions usually reflect our heart. Are your actions representative of Christ? It all starts with your heart. Is your heart totally dedicated to him? Are you more concerned about becoming all he wants you to be than seeing how much you can get? Let that be your goal this year. Instead of thinking, How can I become more popular? How can I get so-and-so to notice me? focus instead on, Whom can I help who can't give back?
Ask God to transform your thinking from How can I make the most money? How can I be the most successful? to Dear Father, where I can serve you best? What can I do to help build your Kingdom?
When your heart has that kind of focus, your actions will reflect Christ himself.
January 1
God commands that we imitate him (see Ephesians 5:1). How's your imitation coming? Remember, it all begins in the heart. This week, do something for someone who can't return the favor. Is there an elderly shut-in from your church you can visit? Contact your pastor about someone in your church who has specific needs that you can meet: perhaps someone who's short of cash and needs groceries, a child from a single-parent home who needs some extra attention, or someone who's handicapped who needs help with chores.
Drink in the flavor from the following Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 13; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Ephesians 5:1-2.
Ask God to break you and reshape you in his image. Tell him you want to focus on making a difference for eternity.
Maybe you're familiar with the Ironman Triathlon. It's a grueling athletic event held each fall in Hawaii that involves running, swimming, and biking. Here's how it began: In 1978 Navy commander John Collins wanted to settle an argument about who was more fit-runners or swimmers.
He combined the three toughest endurance races: a 2.4-mile rough-water swim, a 112-mile bike race, and a 26.2-mile run. Competitors would start at 7 a.m., and the first to finish would win the title of Ironman.
Only fifteen participants showed up at the first triathlon. Commander Collins finished the course, but he didn't win. The Ironman title went to a Honolulu taxi driver.
Today more than 1,600 athletes compete in Hawaii's Ironman Triathlon each year, and more than 100 million people watch the event on TV. It takes 7,000 volunteers, 600 bottles of sunscreen, 100,000 gallons of fluids, and 12,825 bananas to make the annual competition a success.
God wants to mold you into a spiritual iron man. Think of him as a heavenly coach who wants to help you get into top spiritual shape. How can you develop spiritual muscles?
1. Establish a routine. Each triathlon competitor has a consistent physical workout schedule. Do you have a regular spiritual workout with God? Devour his Word and talk with him. This will strengthen you spiritually.
2. Make yourself accountable. Training-whether physical or spiritual-is always easier with a partner. Grab a friend and set some spiritual goals together. Hold one another accountable to having a quiet time with God each day. Connect with your friend in person, through e-mail, or over the phone and pray with each other. Ask questions about what God is teaching each of you.
3. Memorize Scripture. There will be days when Satan tempts you to throw in the towel. When he does, memorized Scripture will provide ample ammunition against the enemy.
January 2
Spiritual discipline, like physical discipline, is a process. Your muscles don't take shape overnight. Consistency is the key! Determine to take your spiritual training seriously.
Drink in the flavor from the following Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 9:24-27; Ephesians 3:14-21; 1 Timothy 4:8.
Ask God to help you discipline yourself daily to his authority. Ask him to bring to light anything in your life that's hindering your spiritual fitness. And when he does, be willing to commit that area to him.
Sixteen-year-old Rick Hoyt was watching the Ironman Triathlon on television with his dad. He was captivated by athletes with sculpted physiques biking 112 miles. Rick sat mesmerized as he watched the muscular competitors swim almost two and a half miles. He was glued to the screen as it displayed determined athletes running 26.2 miles.
Rick was so captivated by the entire event that he asked his dad, "Can I do that?"
His dad turned to him and said, "Yes. With my help, you can."
People who knew Dick Hoyt couldn't believe he'd make such an outrageous promise to his son. You see, Rick was a quadriplegic. He was born with cerebral palsy and couldn't walk or talk. The question he'd asked his dad wasn't verbal; his dad was reading his son's words on a computer screen. Rick had a special apparatus that allowed him to communicate via technology.
His dad had every reason to look at his son and say, "Rick, I'm so sorry. It's impossible for you to compete in a triathlon. You can't even speak. You can't control your tongue. When we feed you, the food falls out of your mouth. No. Son, you're handicapped. There's no way you can enter a triathlon."
Dick didn't say that. He was so full of love for his son that he determined to make the impossible possible. "Yes. With my help, you can. It's impossible on your own, but I'll make a way. I love you so much!"
January 3
God is crazy about you! Even though you're scarred and sinful, he has promised to make you whole. He loves you so much that he created a way for you to be forgiven of your sins. He gave his own Son to pay the price you couldn't afford.
Drink in the flavor from the following Scriptures: Romans 3:22-28; 10:10-11.
Thank God for loving you so much that he was willing to send his Son-God in human form-to die for your sins. Tell him you realize that you don't deserve that kind of love. Ask him to help you show your gratitude by a lifestyle of service and obedience to him.
Now that Dick Hoyt had promised his quadriplegic son entrance into the Ironman Triathlon, he had to figure out how to make it happen. It would be one thing to compete on his own, but how could he swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles, and run 26.2 miles carrying his son?
The first thing Dick had to do was learn how to swim! After completing his swimming lessons, he began running and training for the grueling triathlon. When he had readied himself for the challenge, he then had to figure out how to complete the event with his son, who couldn't move.
With the help of others, he was able to devise a special seat in front of the handlebars of his bicycle where Rick could sit while Dick pedaled. When he swam through rough waters, a rope was tied around his waist and attached to a raft in which Rick lay. And when he entered the marathon phase, Dick ran while pushing his son in a special wheelchair.
If you've ever seen the video clip of Dick and Rick's Ironman adventure, you've undoubtedly noticed the strain of muscles in Dick's legs, the bulging veins in his neck, and the determination on his face. It was an amazing feat!
The average finish time for the Ironman is eight hours. It took Dick and his son 16.4 hours to cross the finish line. But they made it! Rick experienced victory because he had a dad who was willing to do whatever it took to get him across the finish line.

Regardless of whether you have an earthly dad who's willing to do whatever it takes to help you win, you have a heavenly Father who so desperately wants you to win that he's willing to pedal you, push you, carry you, pull you across the finish line into victory. He willingly died for you so that you can experience victory over sin. Are you living in that victory?
Drink in the flavor from the following Scriptures: Romans 5:1-6; 1 Corinthians 1:8-9.
Have you confessed your sins to Christ and accepted him as your personal Savior? If you've never done that, you can do it right now! Talk to God as you would your best friend-openly and honestly. You can commit your life to him right now and begin experiencing spiritual victory.

My son is walking like his foot hurts but he's nonverbal so he can't tell me, so I wanted to take him to see our great podiatrist. I've also been wanting him to be reevaluated by his private/expensive/genius physical therapist to see if we can make his walking look better and make it easier for him to go down stairs. Then I can take that report to his school/state-paid-for physical therapist and try to get their help.
Today when I went to pick him up early from school so he could see his neurologist (hate to have him miss school and me miss time alone but that was the only appointment we could get) his teacher said they are off next Friday AND Monday.
Oh, GREAT.
Then I thought, hmm, maybe I can take advantage of this. I called the podiatrist and the physical therapist, and guess who is free on each of those days off?!! Yep. Now I've got the appointments made, they're coming up soon, and won't cut into school.
It's things like this that remind me that somebody upstairs is watching out for us.

By their third album the Cranberries had lost much of their magic and by 1999's Bury the Hatchet, they'd already been buried by America's teeny boppers. Now, with a new decade, a new label and a refurbished sound, the Cranberries attempt to rekindle their wisp with Wake Up & Smell the Coffee. Much of the album is reminiscent of the band's debut—simple melodies and lyrics abound. Short and sweet, tracks like "Dying Inside" and the disc's opener, "Never Grow Old," recapture the pure breath of freshness that was 1993's Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?. Elsewhere, Coffee's first single, "Analyse," more than recalls the band's hit "Dreams." The song's drippy electronic bleeps add an additional empyreal layer to the Cranberries's already ethereal sound, while the title track's sub-techno intro gives way to a riff-driven mid-tempo rocker.
Fast approaching mid-life, frontwoman Dolores O'Riordan reflects on themes of mortality and embraces "carpe diem" on tracks like the delightfully optimistic "Every Morning." "Time Is Ticking Out" walks familiar socially and politically-conscious territory for the band, but the Cranberries are a long way from the heady "Zombie"; the track's lyrics are often elementary by comparison ("I guess that we screwed up the ozone layer/I wonder if the politicians care"). With a few exceptions (such as the reggae-hued, piano-driven "The Concept"), Coffee sticks to what the Cranberries do best: constructing the radio-friendliest of pop alternatives. Unfortunately, Dolores and Co. fall a bit short of the emotive and atmospheric heights of 1994's No Need to Argue, arguably the band's creative (and commercial) zenith.

Psychiatry Resident Helps Birmingham's Youth
There is little need to remind people of the negative statistics haunting the youth of Birmingham—we are nationally ranked as a most dangerous city, in a state with a high school graduation rate well below the national average. It would be easy for many young people to fall into the cycle of dropping out of high school and going down the wrong path in life. Dr. Theo Morgan, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Resident, decided that Birmingham's youth deserved a better chance at success. Along with local physician, Dr. Hernando Carter, Dr. Morgan formed The Kappa League Leadership and Development Program, a mentoring and training program or young men in high school. The program originates from The Guide Right Program, an initiative of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. dating back to 1920.
Each chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi is challenged with creating a program tailored to the needs of the local area. Recognizing that high school social organizations and clubs are extremely popular in the Birmingham Area School system, the Birmingham Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi, Inc. chose to build upon this enthusiasm for participation in these clubs by modeling aspects of the Kappa League Program around a social club while providing mentoring in key areas. The Kappa League Program has five areas of emphasis or phases: Phase I, Self Identity; Phase II, Training; Phase III, Competition; Phase IV, Social; and Phase V, Health Education.
The young men meet monthly for two hours. The first hour is designated "Phase Meeting" where modules are in place for enrichment. The young men just completed a three month module in professional development where they were exposed to proper professional dress, résumé building, and interviewing skills. The module culminated in a mock interview where the young men were given a chance to utilize their new skills. Other modules this year will deal with sexual education and awareness, the role of a leader, and drugs in our communities.
The second hour of the meeting is "club time". The club is modeled to run like a professional organization. The young men are exposed to and expected to utilize Roberts Rules of Order. They plan and develop an agenda for each meeting, as well as a calendar for the year. They must plan and execute an event in each of the following areas: Community Service, Fund-raising, and Social. They are also required to attend bi-weekly study hall and ACT preparatory courses.
Dr. Morgan, along with Dr. Carter, simply want to help these young men be good at whatever they choose to do. "Whether they choose to go to college or to learn a trade, we just want them to work hard and not allow anything to hold them back. I have enjoyed working with these young men to ensure they never feel the burden of the statistics facing Birmingham youth."
The Kappa League is geared toward young men in the 9th-12th grades in Birmingham area high schools. If you have any questions about the program or would like to support their efforts please contact Dr. Morgan at email@example.com
Reducing the Stigma of Mental Illness Through Volunteering
It's been almost six months since Christmas and many of us might find it difficult to even remember what we were able to accomplish during the rush of the holiday season. On May 17, 2010, the Consumers of the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Engel Adult Day Treatment Program received a nice reminder of what they accomplished, when they were awarded the 2009 – 2010 Volunteer Group of the Year by the Salvation Army. This award is in recognition of each Consumer's outstanding service and commitment to help others.
For the last nine years, Consumers and staff have participated in the annual Angel Tree Christmas activity in Birmingham. It began as an opportunity for the Consumers to provide a service to their community and over the years, it has also become an avenue to educate others regarding mental illness.
With popular Christmas carols playing in the background, each Consumer worked side-by-side with other community volunteers to quickly transform the empty warehouse into Santa's Workshop. No matter what the assignment, the Consumers were always eager to lend a helping hand. From the first days of sweeping floors and assembling boxes to the last days of organizing and filling the requests of each "Angel", the Consumers were there to ensure that Christmas would be a joyful time for all.
Each year, the comments made by the Consumers have a common theme, "I feel good knowing that I've been able to help other people". This experience has encouraged several of the Consumers to volunteer their time to other community projects. As one Consumer said, "every time I go out and volunteer, I'm doing my part to reduce the stigma of mental illness".

Engel Therapeutic School Wins Award
On April 30th, 2010 the Association for Child Psychoanalysis (ACP), Inc. recognized the Engel Therapeutic School, a segment of the UAB Department of Psychiatry, with the 2010 Award for Excellence. Special recognition was given to the UAB Engel Therapeutic Preschool as an early intervention program.
The ACP is a national organization of child psychoanalysts. At its annual meeting each year, the organization recognizes a program committed to analytic developmental principles applied in a community setting. The Engel Therapeutic School was recognized for the unique service it provides integrating the educational and therapeutic needs of children and adolescents from the preschool level through high school. Students at the school come from across Jefferson and Shelby Counties, and represent a full spectrum of diversity reflected in these areas. A requirement for this recognition is that a child psychoanalyst be involved in the program's implementation. Both Dr. Sam Rubin and Dr. Lee Ascherman are child psychoanalysts in consultative roles with the Engel School classrooms. They, along with Dr. Vinita Yallamanchilli, are available to the dedicated teachers of this school to think about the unique developmental challenges these students face, and how best to help them advance in their education and treatment.

'The Vulcan's Guide to Business Management'
Managing a business would surely be easier if Vulcan logic was applied
When I started working in the newspaper industry, I wrote stories, took a few photographs, and that was it.
Then, when I became an editor, I did less writing, took fewer photographs and had to start making decisions.
Of course now that I'm the publisher and the editor, I write very little, take fewer photographs, and sometimes it seems like all I do is sit in my office and dispense the wisdom of Solomon.
And while I'm still waiting for the opportunity to sit in my office and say, "Cut the baby in half," I'm not holding my breath for that day coming any time soon.
But as I was sitting at home pondering how my job has changed over the years, it occurred to me that Vulcans (of Star Trek fame), would probably make very good business managers.
Think about it, they dispense with emotion and make decisions based solely on logic. I don't know about you, but my decision-making ability would be greatly enhanced if I could dispense with emotions.
And on top of that, they have that really cool Vulcan nerve pinch thing. What a great means for dealing with unruly customers, employees, or salesmen!
"Just step into my office," you'd say as you go to pat them on the back . . . and then pinch! They're passed out, and you can go to lunch.
I don't know if some Trekkie has written it yet, but `The Vulcan's Guide to Business Management' would be a sure-fire best-seller.
What's better, if you could apply those principles without having the pointy ears, it's like getting all the benefits without any of the drawbacks.
And just think about negotiations with other businesses. Pure logic being applied would certainly throw off the average businessman.
In the words of Mr. Spock, "Vulcans never bluff."

singer class 66
3 Attachment(s)
hello, was donated a singer class 66 I believe, not knowing very much about sewing machines, has a walking foot, i am not sure how to thread the upper thread or lower thread, any information i would appreciate, runs great, thank you
Whatever machine that is, it does not have a walking foot. Walking foot is a term to describe a machine that has alternating presser feet. Such a machine has three separate vertical shafts. Two of the shafts hold the two halves of the foot, and the other shaft holds the needle. The next thing you need to do is replace the leather belts with rubber "V" belts of the same approximate length. The machine has a built in mechanism to run the machine faster or slower depending on which groove of the multi groove sheaves you connect together. The smaller the driving pulley is, and the bigger the driven pulley is, the slower the machine will run, and vice versa. This machine will sew two pieces of fabric together, but it's not going to be very good at sewing things that are thicker than that. I'm thinking this is more of an industrial garment sewing machine.
Can you take some pictures from the other side of the machine, and more close up?
My family has had a treadle powered Singer in the family since I believe the late 1800s. Its built into a desk of sorts; for storing sewing supplies. All the ones with the larger flat worktop that Ive seen were the industrial type units, as Dan mentioned, but Im certainly not an expert by any means. Ours has a lot of gold leaf on the actual sewing apparatus itself.

Get the Swans newsletter
23:52 16th September 2013
. . . Swans boss delighted with second-half performance
Michael Laudrup praised Swansea's second half performance against Liverpool as the side's best of the season so far.
In a riveting game at the Liberty, the Swans drew 2-2 with Liverpool, courtesy of goals from Jonjo Shelvey and Michu for the Swans, while Daniel Sturridge and Victor Moses got the goals for Liverpool.
The game began at frenetic pace as Shelvey opened the scoring with a goal against his former club, before gifting Daniel Sturridge an equaliser just moments later.
Victor Moses then took advantage of a misplaced Shelvey pass, intercepting the ball before driving a shot past a helpless Michel Vorm, giving the visitors the lead before half-time.
However, Shelvey made amends in the second-half with a flicked header that set up Michu to cancel out Liverpool's advantage just past the hour mark.
Laudrup said that, after a tricky first half, he was delighted with his side's performance.
"It was a difficult first half for us," the Great Dane said. "We changed a bit tactically at half time to get a little more power in midfield with Jonathan in there, and I think we dominated it quite well.
"We got the equaliser, and then the last twenty minutes was Swansea all over.
"I think it was a great second-half performance – the best so far. I was very pleased, especially after what happened in the first-half.
"In the second-half, we had the ball two thirds of the time. It's not easy against a side like that [Liverpool]."
The Swansea boss was also keen to acknowledge the performance of Shelvey, who experienced a difficult first period, despite scoring the opener.
The former Liverpool midfielder rose to the occasion in the second-half, putting in a superb performance that impressed his manager.
"It was a difficult first half for him," said Laudrup. "Up there after one minute [to score], then 15 minutes later, one back pass and then another missed pass caused the second goal.
"He knew that only he could bring himself back into this game, and I think he had a fantastic reaction because it's not easy to come back, pull yourself together and get back on track.
"It shows about his character as well, and we still have to remember he is a very young guy."
The Swans now head into a busy few weeks that includes four Premier League fixtures, two Europa League games, plus an away cup tie at Birmingham.
And Michael Laudrup was quick to stress the importance of tonight's performance.
"It was very important for us – this first game of seven, in less than three weeks – to start like this, with a good result against a good side, especially with that performance in the second half.
"I think it's great to move on from that."
Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers was equally satisfied with his side's efforts.
The ex-Swansea City boss said he was impressed by his team's show of character in coming from behind so early on.
"We showed incredible character to get back into the game so early after they scored," said Rodgers. "I thought for the first 65 minutes we were very good."
"We were disappointed with the second goal we gave away, and obviously the momentum changes into Swansea's hands for the last 25 minutes.
"Then we had to show another side of character and resilience – and we did that."
The Ulsterman also saved some words of praise for Shelvey, who made his first appearance against his former club tonight.
"Jonjo's a terrific boy," he said. "He's a boy who made a brave decision to leave a club like Liverpool."
"And it's a night like this that is why he left, because it's about learning for him."

On March 7, more than six weeks ago, I predicted that Hillary Clinton would win Pennsylvania 55%-45%. Last night, she won by about 55%-45%.
I point that out not to prove how smart I am, but actually the exact opposite. I was just guessing.
My prediction wasn't based on any reporting, inside information or complicated formulas. I just figured that since Ohio and Pennsylvania have similar demographics, my best guess was that they would have similar results.
Which raises a question: Does the campaign matter at all?
It's possible that everything that occurred in the Democratic race in the past six weeks -- from Rev. Wright, Bosnia and "bitter" to the endorsements (Bob Casey) and the television ads -- happened to balance out perfectly, so that the result was exactly what someone would have expected before the Pennsylvania campaign began. Or it's possible that all that stuff was irrelevant.
In fact, most political scientists believe that presidential campaigns don't really matter much -- for general elections anyway. Most think that election results are determined by the popularity of the incumbent president, the state of the economy and the partisan affiliations of the electorate. Whistle-stop tours and Willie Horton? Overrated.
However, it's rare that you hear a similar argument about primaries. When everyone shares the same partisan affiliation and there is no incumbent (usually), the candidates and the campaign almost have to matter.
But what if a primary campaign goes on so long that voters already know everything they need to about the two candidates? In that scenario, you can imagine demographics being destiny.
We invite you to discuss and comment on this article using social media.

Act NOW to save conservation funding
This week, the Administration and Congress are poised to make huge cuts to vital conservation programs that may spell the end of the Farm Bill as we know it. We must oppose this short-sighted lunacy, and the time is now.
Please join the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC) and PAN as we urge the leader of the Senate Agriculture committee, Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), to do everything possible to protect Farm Bill conservation funding. You can email Senator Stabenow even if you're not in Michigan — I did, it's easy. She needs to know that people across the country care about conservation.

Book slamming Japan's "graveyard" bureaucracy a hit
By Yuko Takeo
TOKYO (Reuters Life!) - It belongs to an unpopular genre and lacks a gripping title, but a Japanese book blasting the country's bureaucratic elite -- by a bureaucrat -- is proving an unlikely hit with a nation fed up at a lagging response to the massive March disaster.
"Collapse of Japan's Central Administration," by the outspoken Shigeaki Koga, is a tale of internal bickering, falsehood and the stifling culture within the Japanese bureaucracy which led to the Fukushima nuclear disaster and hinders recovery from the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.
Calling Kasumigaseki, the name of the Tokyo area housing Japan's bureaucracy, "a graveyard for talent," Koga -- who works at the powerful trade ministry -- slammed a lack of cooperation between ministries and a system that does not reward bureaucrats who try to serve the nation rather than their ministries.
"It's convincing because it's been written by a top official at the ministry, who's actually working there," said Tsuguo Nishike, who runs a bookstore in Akasaka, just a stone's throw from Japan's parliament building.
"It had excellent timing as well. Everyone has been curious about what's been happening behind the scenes about Fukushima."
Koga, who has been at the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) for over 30 years, drew official ire earlier this year when he wrote an memo picking apart the logic of the backroom deal his ministry was crafting to save Tokyo Electric Power from bankruptcy because of mounting liability due to the Fukushima crisis.
An advocate of tough-love restructuring, Koga in 2003 helped create a new agency to speed the restructuring of Japanese "zombie" firms such as retailer Daiei.
But his push for a similar handling of the power firm prompted requests for him to leave the ministry, media reports said. Though he has hung onto his post, he has also taken the unusual step of going public with his criticism in the media. Continued...

16v Timing Chain Replacement w/ photos
Hello Comrades,
To skip to the how-to part, scroll down past this paragraph
due to the fact that this job caused me an insane amount of anguish, I just have to share my misadventures with you so someone benefits from this. This shouldn't be a big deal but it is a job that you may have to perform on your Saab at some point. My car really needed this done as this was the car's second timing chain and the car had 450,000 miles. This is the third timing chain on an original engine and transmission.
If you have done this before or have dedicated a significant amount of your life to cars and machinery maintenance in general, you shouldn't experience too much trouble with this. Since I am a man of Arts and other, more primitive and creative activities, I naturally had a lot of trouble with this. On one hand, I had the bug to get the car ready for winter so I wouldn't have to worry about breakdowns and such. On the other, I had terrible working conditions and a lot of stress.
Anyway, I could speak about this matter all day, but the bottom line is, be prepared and have a checklist of some sort like the one I will provide in this instructional.
The intention of this thread is to prevent the potential timing chain replacer from wanting to cause injury to the designers of both his own species and the car.
This is intended for a very inexperienced DIY-er who hasn't done anything like this before. This is supposed to be the fastest and least risky way of doing this job. Familiarize yourself with this mechanism so that you are clear on how it works:
..and the timing cover removed (not nescessary with this method):
Let's get started:
1.) Checklist
-a new timing chain with a master link (I used this).
-new valve cover gaskets (I used this)
-good weather (unless you have a garage..which I didn't)
-good vision
-something that helps you cope (singing/playing the blues worked great for me)
optional parts which you will tinker with anyway:
-spark plugs
-camshaft sprockets
-valve lifters/followers
-distributor connecting joint/ o-ring/ cap and rotor
-a good ratchet set obviously
-12 and 14mm sockets for removing valve cover and camshaft sprockets
-20-25mm socket for removing the chain tensioner(does anybody know the exact size?) if no socket, you can bend a pipe into a socket like I did
-depending on the method you use to connect and disconnect the timing chain, you will need something to grind off the crimped ends of the chain. I used a dremel electric tool. Maybe you could use a file, but I cannot confirm that
-to connect the chain I used two hammers: one large and one small, like one used for hammering copper
-vise grips of various sizes to lock the flywheel and cams (three)
-2 adjustable wrenches of reasonable size (they call them "French keys" in Europe)
-some sort of a thin metal rod to check the tension of the timing chain where you can't reach it
-acetone and scotch-brite to clean head and valve cover surfaces
-metal wire of different sizes
-different sizes of pliers
-other small general workshop tools
2.)Setting TDC
Top dead center is the point where a given piston has reached the top of it's travel during normal operation. To align the valves and pistons together so they don't hit each other and provide proper compression, you need to align the marks on the camshafts with the mark on the flywheel perfectly. This sets TDC for cylinder #1, which is the one closest to the firewall.
There is very small chance (one in 1,000,000,000,000,000) that the engine will be set to TDC when you begin working. So you might as well know how to do it:
-Pull the handbrake tightly and jack up one front wheel. Put the car in 5th gear. Rotate the engine only counter clockwise when viewed from the front.Rotate the engine only one way. Rotate the last few inches with a screw driver. Don't ever rotate the flywheel backwards as that creates slack in the chain!
-Remove the spark plugs to eliminate compression so the engine can be rotated easily. To find cylinder #1's top dead center, you can either use the timing mark on the flywheel, or mmoe's method which consists of placing a straw inside cylinder 1's spark plug hole and noting when the straw stops rising. The straw will make contact with the piston and that way you can see exactly when the piston is at its highest point. Obviously, make sure the straw is long enough.
If you are going to time it according to the flywheel mark, use mark "B" on the top of the clutch plastic shield:
And align it with the "0" mark on the flywheel (clutch shield removed for clarity):
Now, to lock the flywheel, you can use different methods. You can use the genuine saab flywheel locking tool, or the quick-grips. Any way of snugly locking the crankshaft will work. I used quick grips.
To lock the flywheel with this method (or the special saab tool method), you have to remove the plastic shield.
To do this, you have to remove the various turbo pipes (if you have one), the AIC-to-throttle body hose, and the air mass meter and hose to gain access to the shield. There are bolts holding it to the engine block. There will be differing bolt sizes depending on the year, and there are three bolts. Your car may have more. Just make sure you get all of them as some are tricky to see.
Now removing the shield can be tricky, but don't be afraid of twisting it. It won't break. Just rotate and twist until it comes loose.
Now you can apply the quick grips:
It's actually better to use the passenger side of the bellhousing. Make sure not to move the flywheel more than a few millimeters when locking.
3.)Remove valve cover
Loosen all of the 12mm bolts on the valve cover, unplugging the spark plugs before commencing. Don't drop the bolts as the c900 is notorious for its appetite for bolts. I have lost many things in the various caverns, finding them months later.
If the valve cover hasn't been removed for a while, you will have to tap it off the head. You can use here either a rubber mallet or a wooden block and generously sized hammer. It will come off. Hit hard.
If you are going to reuse the gasket, then be careful when lifting it off. Remove the half moon rubber pieces first.
Be careful not to nick any camshaft parts when you are lifting it off.
4.)Removing the tensioner
I had the new style timing chain tensioner. This is the source of numerous problems with these cars. There is a tricky step in the reinstallation which I will explain later on. What it does is it basically puts tension on the plastic guide which tensions the chain. It consists of a pushrod and a ratcheting mechanism. There is a good guide on this site on how to deal with it.
Remove the small bolt, which I think is the same size as the valve cover ones.
Don't lose the plastic insert and spring, even though they are kind of useless.
I personally think the design of the tensioner is not very logical. The hex portion of the body is too close to the block. That way it's impossible to use any sort of wrench in there. I don't understand why isn't the whole body "hexed"...A very large socket is needed to remove this. Make sure it's the right size or you will might round the bolt off, making it difficult to break loose. If you can't find a right socket, but you have one that is relatively close, you can place a thin copper segment in the socket to aid in the good fit.
Unbolt the tensioner.
5.)Splitting the chain
Place a reasonably sized rag in the timing chain chasm and cover any sensitive objects nearby with towels. Tie some secure wire to both sides of the chain so you don't lose it down the engine. Tie the tensioning guide on the drivers side with wire so it doesn't get in the way:
Choose a link between the two sprockets and grind its crimped ends with a dremel tool. You might have to separate them with a knife. Please don't drop the knife or the flange down the engine, or I will strangle you.
6.)Camshaft Sprocket and camshaft removal
After separating the old chain between the sprockets, you have to connect the new chain to the old one so you can roll it through the engine. This way the new chain will be in the place of the old one. If you leave the sprockets and camshafts on, you will definitely bend valves. I don't see how you can keep the chains properly tensioned when you are rolling it through.
Therefore, you have to loosen the camshafts so that no valves are open and you can rotate the engine as much as you'd like without worrying about valve to piston contact.
This sounds like a big deal, but it really isn't. All you have to do is loosen all of the bolts on the camshaft bearing caps so that the cams aren't holding any valves open. Remove the sprockets first, so that you can access the leftmost bearing cap bolts.
To remove the sprockets, hold the camshafts still with a wrench and loosen a sprocket bolt on the other side. Don't move the camshafts too much, or you will make a valve contact a piston. They are very tight, and its better to use one brisk motion to break the bolts, rather than trying to press on the ratchet using your body weight.
Here are the flats on the camshafts where the wrenches go, and keep track of the dog on distributor drive. Don't let it get out of position or you will have your ignition timing 180 degrees off:
You don't need to remove the camshafts or bolts completely, unless you want to inspect the caps and surfaces, but loosen the bolts enough so that there is vertical play in the cams and none of the lifters are pressed. Make sure, again, that you don't drop any bolts in the spark plug holes (which should be covered with a rag by the way!), or in the frame cavities.
No need to completely remove them:

7.)Rolling the new chain in
This is where things got buggered up for me. When connecting the new chain to the old one, make sure that whatever you use to connect them is very strong.
My zip tie broke exactly at the crank shaft sprocket so I ended up with a chainless engine. Contact me or member 900t if you find yourself in this situation.
Using good secure wire to connect the chains together is your best option. Unlock the flywheel and rotate the new chain through slowly, making sure that its not binding and such. Use the wire method again to anchor the new chain to the engine once it has taken the place of the old one.
Disconnect the old chain, but don't discard it yet.
Lock the flywheel at TDC again, rotating it only one way.
8.)Connecting the new chain
Hopefully your chain came with the master link and a new flange (credit to godol):
Mine didn't. So I used the flange from the old chain. If you buggered up the old flange, grind off a new one.
You can use the approved chain connecting tool, or the hammer method.
The hammer method consists of a large hammer serving as contra and a small one to squash the ends. You might a need a helper to hold to large hammer while you hold the chain against it. This gives you a very strong link, perhaps stronger than a regular one.
8.)Putting the chain on the sprockets
Now remove all the metal wire and make sure the cams are at TDC before you tighten them down (picture taken after cams and sprockets were tightened):
Tighten them down in stages, starting from the center. Tighten them enough but not too much (correct torque anyone?).
Now place the chain over the exhaust side sprocket, making sure that it engages with the camshaft. There is a notch on the sprocket, which should point at twelve o' clock:
You can ziptie the chain to the sprocket while you are tightening the bolt:
Don't torque it just yet.
This is where you can lock the camshafts using this rather primitive method:
Make sure everything is at TDC for cylinder #1 and lock everything. This is where you take off the slack from the exhaust side, one tooth at a time. Use the metal rod to poke the chain below and make sure it's tight.
Now use the same method to put on the intake sprocket. Tighten the bolt hand tight.
9.)Distributing the slack
At this point make sure that all of the slack is on the tensioner side of the engine. If you are one tooth off it will be very noticeable in the cam marks if you haven't locked them. Remember that the valve lifters can "pop" the cams around so you might have to keep tension on the cam with a wrench while you tension the chain.
Now place and tighten the tensioner body, making sure it's reset first.
Screw on the spring and plastic insert assembly and tighten.
Check to see if there is still slack at the tensioner side of the chain, above the guide.
Skip this step if there is no slack:
The tensioner may stick, causing slack in the chain, and therefore screwing up the timing.
If this happens, remove the spring and plastic insert again, carefully remove the tensioner again and very gently extend it one more tooth.
Screw on just the tensioner again and check for slack on the intake side.
Repeat this procedure until there is no slack. Tighten down the tensioner and spring. Don't forget the sealing ring!
10.)Final check
Now unlock everything, and make sure that there is:
a.) no slack between the crankshaft sprocket and exhaust side sprocket, no excessive slack between the cam sprockets, and no slack between the intake side sprocket and crankshaft sprocket
b.)that all of the marks are well aligned- no more than 5-7mm departure
c.)that the distributor rotor points towards cylinder #1 at TDC
d.)that the sprocket bolts are tightened/torqued
Rotate the engine, watching the camshaft markings. Rotate counterclockwise viewed from the front. Pray. When the camshaft marks meet, make sure that the flywheel marking is right.
If things are off, lock the flywheel at TDC once again, remove the spring and tensioner, and repeat step 9. It's easy to move the chain between teeth. Do one tooth at a time per every final check (step 10) you do.
If step 10 was successful, you are sincerely awesome.
Now you can put back the valve cover, using a good anearobic sealant. Place the spark plugs and wires. Put back the clutch cover and all the piping and make sure the air mass meter and AIC hose is on.
Assuming that the car starts and runs smoothly, congrats, you are a winner.
Sincerely, Rado Borisov

Brilliant, many thanks.
Very nice writeup, Nuclear! It will be the definitive c900 timing chain post on the internet. I like the pictures of the head with cams loosened. Never seen pics of this before, even though I've seen it in person. Well done! We need this in the FAQ thread.
This is a nice write-up indeed and a good candidate for a sticky. You can't beat some good photos. Well done. Come on you Mods.
Thanks mates, I ironed out some of the messy bits and added my name. I hope this meets the FAQ standarts!
And to think I ready messy tits.
That made me put the coffee cup down and read again.
Great writeup! It makes me want to go and try checking my timing again and see why my white Saab does not want to fire up.

I don't understand the parts about locking the Flywheel or Camshafts.
I've replaced dozens of Chains and it never occurred to me to lock any parts in place. What's the point?

Again, what's the point?
What problem are you avoiding by locking those parts in place? If it's a step-by-step guide, what's the point of that step?
"Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities".
- Voltaire -
You are preventing them from moving when you are positioning the timing chain.
When you are distributing the slack, the cams or crank can move, setting you away from TDC. It makes everything more positive and eliminates the risk for slack developing in the chain.
The DOHC Honda engines I messed with had a hold on the front cam cap and the cam itself. The idea was once you had the head at TDC, you could drop a 5mm pin to hold cam in place while you played with the belt. I think the Volvo whiteblocks do the same. I think my Renault had something similar, but it would lock the crank.
An experienced mechanic probably would laugh at that (and think timing marks are for babies), but an amateur one like me really appreciates to have something like that to help setting things up right.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — NCAA presidents are spending the first day of their two day retreat talking about finances.
Those inside the meeting say they have been looking at data -- not debating solutions -- about the disparity of Division I athletic department budgets that range from $3 million to $130 million.
During a break, some of the approximately 80 participants acknowledged it's time for a debate about the future of college sports. Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe also wants to discuss upgraded scholarships that would cover more than just tuition, room and board and books. Beebe believes that topic will be addressed Wednesday.
NCAA President Mark Emmert gave the opening remarks Tuesday. Other topics expected to be on the agenda are stronger enforcement tools, deregulation and academic reforms.

Some manufacturers place restrictions on how details of their products may be communicated.
Terrible follow-up to the WRT54G 09/12/2008
This review is from: Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless Broadband Router 802.11b/g up to 54Mbps/ 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Port x4
Decent looks, black color meshes well when situated near my home theater equipment (about 5' away). No ugly antennas.
Terrible range, wireless connection constantly drops. I used to have my original WRT54G sitting right next to my home theater equipment and that unit never had issues. I moved this new unit further away from that equipment and closer to the center of my apartment and yet the signal has dropped 90 - 100%. It's shocking how bad this unit is. Where are the firmware updates?
Other Thoughts:
If you don't care about looks, get the original WRT54G, that unit was a time tested beast of a unit. Mine didn't die, I gave it to my brother because his DLink router died on him and I ended up purchasing this unit for its looks. Bad choice...

Washoe County School District and the University of Nevada, Reno Writing Center are partnering to offer University Writing Tutors for 11th and 12th grade students. Our goal is to create a collaboration that supports writing as students transition from secondary to college environments.
Our target audience is 11th and 12th grade students; however, all students are welcome. We encourage students to choose a writing consultation when they need feedback on an assignment. AP students often need to understand how an audience would read their paper as much as a struggling writer needs to talk about comma usage. This service is for writing in all disciplines, including the sciences, history, art and English.

European predicament
Here's one for ya: I thought I'd boost my Gamerscore a little by getting a cheap code for the Season Pass of this game and hoard me some points.
My first warning should've been that the app itself is nowhere to be found on my native dashboard, the Dutch one. I fired up my fake American account, and could download the app that way. If I signed out my alt, I could still start the game with my main Dutch account, so I thought I was good to go.
Fast forward a bit, and I've now acquired myself a code for a Season Pass. Tried to redeem it on xbox.com, but, surprise surprise, I get an error message: cannot be redeemed on my Dutch account.
That's just great. Before I cut my losses, though, I have two more things to try, and I hope to hear your input on that:
1) There is a slight possibility that I can redeem the Season Pass code EXCLUSIVELY from within the game, instead of on xbox.com. Did this happen to anyone? Doubt that, but I'll test this out soon.
2) I did some thinking, and thought, well, a parent is supposed to redeem that code, and the child is playing the game then, right? Perhaps even on their own account! And of course, the achievement virus can't spread soon enough, so the child's account should be able to obtain achievements on their own tag, right? RIGHT?
This would hopefully mean for me that I can perhaps redeem the Season Pass code on my American account, therefore becoming the 'parent' as you will, and play with my main Dutch one as the 'child' account, hopefully. So it should be able to access the entire content with just the one Season Pass. Any of you had experiences with that, that multiple tags can enjoy the single Season Pass on the same console? Also, would you need a family plan Xbox LIVE construction for that?
Anyway, I hope this story made some sense, and that someone can help me with some answers.

Redeem the code with the american account and remember to download bonus content or something like that ingame. After that jus tplay with you dutch account.
I did this with finnish and uk accounts. Worked great and was able to complete the game without problems. Same thing with nat geo...
edit: ou and remember to play it with same console you got the content as it's connected to your account and box. Also you don't have to be signed in with the account you got the app and redeemed the code.

Thanks, I bit the bullet, and this worked like a charm. Only thing that's stopping me from the completion is one of the Smartglass achievements, which appears to be harder to obtain outside the US (see the closing remarks on the TA guide here: http://www.trueachievements.com/view...tid=572897#vch)

the public an opportunity to experience what it means for artists to grow and
explore within their studio practice. Exhibiting faculty are presenting works
from earlier periods juxtaposed with recent examples. The result is a window
into the exploration of individual expression as it relates to the current
dialogue in art making.
The artists alternate each year between those teaching two and three-dimensional studios. The current exhibition features Stephen Fisher, Aaron Hraba, Lisa Russell, Richard Whitten, and selected adjunct faculty.
