It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I missed the one where my leaving year would have all turned 40... and I am expecting that as we approach turning 50 someone will start talking about doing a reunion again...
What are they like...? I remember some bizarre stats from the last one where three people in my class had become professional ski instructors and were still doing it... a few people in other classes had committed suicide...
I've never been to a reunion and I'm not entirely sure whether I'd go to a 50th... but I think my curiosity to see whether the girl I adored in class , Heidi, turned into a MILF might just convince me to go....
For some strange reason I was always left off the guest list for our reunions.
Did run into my old geography teacher once who said "Oh so you're out then" (meaning out of prison not out as in gay I don't think). Obviousl;y made a good impression in my school days
I was invited to one, but it was so soon after we left school that I didn't bother to go.
An old friend I hadn't seen for the best part of thirty years tracked me down and invited me to her fiftieth birthday party, but I didn't go to that either!
I wouldn't have minded being a fly on the wall, though, seeing what everyone looked like after all that time.
And no, I haven't been to one but I suppose it's still a bit early for my ex-classmates. On the other hand, I'm in touch with everyone I want to keep in touch with ... don't really want to make awkward smalltalk with the rest of them ... Except maybe for the girl who called me fat in Year 7, and who I last saw stuffing a KFC family bucket down her gullet while I was on mile 19 of a 20 Mile race, and then the conversation would be along the lines of "Who's fat now, eh?!"
No, never been invited to one & not sure I'd go. There is something to be said for moving on and not going back to revisit the past.
I did go back to my old secondary school 10 years after I'd left, to present the prizes at prixegiving. I'd not long got my PhD, and mum mentioned it to the head (who she used to see occasionally) and next thing I know, there's a letter in the post asking me to present the prizes. Funny thing was, I never won a prize when I was there. Caught up with some of my old teachers, which was odd, to say the least.
Although I can see the attraction of seeing what's become of them all (in some cases because I'm interested, in other to gloat over their decline) A few years after we'd left school I saw this chap I fancied rotten aged 14, he'd really badly gone to seed and I did think what a lucky escape.
Not had one yet and our 10 years since leaving rolled around last year - no one did anything. Not sure I'd want to go...mixed memories of school and not sure I could suffciently supress the bad ones enough to go.
The only thing like a reunion I've had was going back to my old school about 6months after leaving. I can only imagine it must have been to collect qualification certificates or something?! You'd be called out and go on stage to collect them
Was quite uncomfortable, as the few people I'd got on with didn't turn up.
Have a potential Uni 10 years reunion this Sep...am slightly concerned, as there's only a couple on the list I even remember! Only saving grace is living in the town still, so i have no travel worries!
No. Not remotely interested.
Anyone I wanted to keep in touch with I have. I don't care about the rest.
I agree with Screamapillar. I don't really care. Some have got fat, some look older than they should and the wonder of Facebook keeps me informed of those things via other people. I don't really want people to know about my life now when they didn't want to know about it then.
Nope. I am definitely a move on and leave the past behind kind of person.
I have been to 2. They have not been massive events. The first was nearly all people who I was at primary school with which was very strange. I met quite a few people on the second one who I remembered but didn't remember me which was quite good fun.
The best part is to see how people have matured. Adults seem to want to get along with each other far more than kids do.
D. went back to our school some years after leaving as part of an IMECHE initiative. Some of the teachers mistook him for his brother before he corrected them. D is dyslexic and struggled at school as they refused to recognise it. He was just labelled lazy, unco-operative etc. He did quite enjoy running their noses in it. He only went back as he wanted to point out the error of their ways. I doubt that they'd recognise him now as a person.
No. Not in the least interested. I did contact one old friend through Friends Reunited website but we have nothing in common any more - she plays golf, I agree with Churchill that it is a good way to ruin a perfectly good walk. Like Screamapillar, friends I want to keep in touch with I have. Not bothered about the others.

Any thoughts on her music?
Views: 56
It's great, but at the same time I wish it wasn't such an issue.
Straight people don't come out saying they are straight.
Generally no one cares what a straight person does behind closed doors. But, the minute there is someone who adds variation, it has to become public?
Let's re-think what's happening here and why there is focus on the life of a person behind closed doors.
The door is shut. Get out of my bizness: )
I'm straight! But the man I love is gay. How's that?
Right. I also think it's been a "thing" to be a lesbian in music. Like having a lil dog for the hollywood set. So what if you are I don't care your music is hot. But on the converse if she can be a face, doesn't have to be vocal, for diversity that is also a plus in those regards.
Yeah, it's good to have people visible that aren't afraid to be completely who they are, even in the public eye. The more that happens, the less of a big deal it will become.

Australia's environment minister Tony Burke has condemned the Japanese government for reportedly dispatching its whaling fleet for another expedition season in the Southern Ocean, describing Japan's claims that its whaling program is for scientific research as "a joke." The Australian government has been a long-time critic of the activities of Japan's whaling fleet in regional waters, and initiated legal proceedings against Japan's whaling program in the International Court of Justice in May 2010. Burke told reporters in Sydney on Saturday that he did not expect a response from the ICJ until "sometime next year," but called on Japan to respect a moratorium on whaling in the Southern Ocean. "In the interim it is open to Japan any day of the year to take the same action that the rest of the world has taken and that is to observe a moratorium in the Southern Ocean. That is to accept that commercial whaling is wrong and 'scientific whaling' is a joke," he said.

I believe you meant to say "no hablo". Spanish verb endings are everything.
This is a discussion on Situational Awareness within the Carry & Defensive Scenarios forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Apparently mine needs some work. My '01 F150 started running rough, the service engine light came on so I stopped by an auto parts place ...
Apparently mine needs some work.
My '01 F150 started running rough, the service engine light came on so I stopped by an auto parts place to have them check the codes. The 'tech' couldn't get the code reader to work so he went back inside. I was looking under the dash at the connection and suddenly realized someone was there. I turned around and there was this wild-eyed Hispanic guy. I have no idea where he came from; didn't see him when I left the store. In one hand he had a piece of half-eaten chicken, the other hand was empty.
Anyway, there I was, between the open door and the truck, he was blocking any exit. He was talking excitedly in Spanish and waving his arms.
I said "No habla"
He paused for a second then said "Dollar? you have dollar?"
I said "NO" and un-did the bottom button on my shirt. (I was wearing an un- tucked long sleeve shirt over a T shirt, PT145 on my right side)
He gave me a look and walked away. He then spied a car pulling into the parking lot and started waving at them and yelling in Spanish.
Glad he didn't pull a knife or something, real glad I didn't have to pull my gun.
I'm a child of the 60's, but I got over it.
I believe you meant to say "no hablo". Spanish verb endings are everything.
Are you sure it wasn't an American of Mexican descent?
Just kidding. Good thing it was chicken. I'm glad you're ok.
p.s. PM me if you want to learn a few basic phrases - I speak a little bit. Enough to tell someone where to shove it.

Glad nothing happened...
I can remember a time or two before I had my permit when I would have someone next to me in a parking lot asking for money, and I did not see them approaching...that doesn't happen now...I have eyes in the back of my head...when I'm with my wife, we're both looking!

When the dust settles only the prepared will survive.
remember the only thing common about common sense is that its not that common
Shoot low boys their riding Shetland ponies.
I might have told the guy,"no dollar,but do you have a piece of chicken for me?
The proper response is "Get a job, you dirtbag". I am out of patience with panhandlers.

Yep, concerning situational awareness. If you looked up and "he was there" then you didn't have any.
It's tough to be aware of what is going on around us at all times. Especially when we get involved in things that require a good degree of concentration.
Glad everything worked out OK.

Learn > Develop > Log
I am using Castle Windsor for my dependency injection and AOP.
Castle also has Logging Facility implemented in Log4net.
The problem with facility or constructur injection: in some part of application Castle Container is not ready yet (Global.asax, installer or ControllerFactory when you want to have logging) so you have to roll your own Log4Net code.
Castle.Services.Logging.Log4netIntegration has Log4Net wrapper that we can use. The wrapper already handle IsDebugEnabled etc. we just use ILogger.Info, ILogger.Error, etc.)
simple usage: Just create an instance of Log4netFactory and create the implementation of Castle.Core.Logging.ILogger
Log4netFactory _log4NetFactory = new Log4netFactory();
ILogger logger = _log4NetFactory.Create(this.GetType());
Source code for Log4netLogger is available at Castle Project at GitHub
If you want to improve your logger performance you might want to read this link AOP With castle–Part 3-The first interceptor . This article show how to use dictionary as a cache to store your class loggers.

What UIL "Snapshot" numbers mean for AHS, Cooper & Wylie realignment
ABILENE, Texas - Cooper and Abilene enrollment numbers have those schools on the teeter-totter while Abilene ISD waits to hear official UIL classification, realignments. Wylie high school falls short of 1-thousand.
After speaking with AISD, KTXS Sports learned that Cooper's snapshot number is 2044 while Abilene High came in at 2107. Wylie High School reported 988 students. Texas's "Snapshot Day" was last Friday. These snapshots are total enrollment numbers at the high schools.
The Texas University Interscholastic League is changing its classifications and will release the cutoff lines sometime before Christmas. They are adopting 6A, and moving 6-Man into the 1A classification. Essentially, the UIL is mainstreaming its groups. 1A will become 2A, and so on.
Every two years, the UIL conducts realignment of classes and districts.
The "Padilla Poll", a popular source for predicting what the cutoff line might be, projects the new 6A somewhere around 2140. That means Cooper & Abilene High would remain 5A.
Think of it this way, remember in 2008 when Cooper was sent down to 4A? That's essentially what would happen to both schools if the Padilla Poll's projection is accurate.
Wylie's 988 students fall far below the 2011 realignment cap of 1004 in 3A.
In 2009 Wylie reported 940 students to the UIL, and just 927 in 2011.
All Texas schools must report their official enrollment numbers to the UIL in early November. District realignment won't be announced until early February.
Phil Ashby, with AISD, told KTXS the district has never petitioned to move either of its high schools to a different class.

Some Simple Ways to Find Guest Posting Opportunities
Guest posting, or guest blogging, is where you write some content for someone else's blog. They get content for their blog and you get an authoritative, contextual backlink, and possibly direct traffic from this other person's blog. It is a win-win situation and it is a great way to get targeted traffic and high quality back links. On this page I'm going to give you some tips for finding good guest posting opportunities.
One way to find guest posting opportunities is to use social media. You can do a search on twitter or you can even set up an RSS feed on twitter with a query like "guest post" or "guest author" and then you can check the RSS feed every day on your RSS reader. You can do something similar with other social media sites and you can even post on social media sites that you are looking for guest posting opportunities.
Another way to find guest posting opportunities is to use your favorite search engine. The phrases to search for will vary quite a bit because different bloggers will use different terminology on their website. You can enter your niche and any of the following search queries to find guest posting opportunities:
"guest post" "submit an article" "write for us" "become an author" "become a contributor" "become a guest writer" "add blog post" "contribute to our site"
Finding possible guest posting opportunities is only one part of the equation. You will also want to make sure that you are adding your content to a quality site. If you're going to spend time or money writing original content to put on someone else's blog you want to make sure that you have a good chance of getting some direct traffic and a high quality back link. One thing you can look for is a site that has some PageRank. If you use Firefox for your web browser there are some plug-ins that will tell you what the PageRank for a particular page is. You can also use a search engine and search for PageRank checker and you'll have plenty of options for checking PageRank.
You'll also want to look for a site that is well maintained. Check the dates on their recent posts to see if they are posting new content to their blog on a regular basis. To get an idea of whether a blog gets a lot of traffic, see how many comments their posts are getting. If there are a lot of people commenting, there are a lot of people reading. The more people reading the better because if you provide high-quality content, a good percentage of those people will click your link and visit your website.
When you start doing guest posts on multiple blogs (while hopefully also getting traffic from various other sources) you should focus on tracking not only where your traffic is coming from, but also which traffic sources are getting results for you. If you don't already have a way of tracking your results you'll want to take a look at Adtrackzpro.

Greetings. First post, first RC, first build! Ive been wanting to get into RC vehicles and build a kit for years now, but never committed for one reason or another. When I happened across an inexpensive P4de roller recently, I finally took the plunge. I enjoy build threads on this (as well as other) sites, and thought that I might contribute.
Didn't think to take pic of roller prior to tray removal:
Following Rit treatment:
Pleasantly surprised at the near perfect match:
Used two packets of dry dye into boiling water, followed by 3 hour soak off heat.
More to follow...

Everything you wanted to know about flax but were afraid to ask
Flax seeds and their oil have been showing up in everything these days, from tortilla chips and crackers, to energy bars, cereals and peanut butter. Even the chicken feed that your egg-laying hens are eating is being supplemented with flax. Food manufacturers love tossing in some flax seed so that they can make health claims about Omega-3 fatty acid content. The question is: Why should you care?
First, let's meet the flaxseed.
It's an oilseed, for starters. It's rich in a type of unsaturated, long-chain fatty acids called Alpha Linolenic acid (ALA), which you may have heard referred to as an omega-3 fatty acid. These omega-3 fats are also called essential fatty acids because our bodies need them, but cannot manufacture them. Flax seeds and walnuts are the 2 best vegetarian sources of these essential fatty acids, so if you're a vegetarian–or perhaps an omnivore that doesn't eat 2 servings of fatty fish per week–flax is great addition to your diet.
Since unsaturated fats are much less stable than saturated fats (think olive oil vs. Crisco), they are very sensitive to oxidation by light and heat. That's why flax seed oil is sold in dark or opaque containers and is usually refrigerated; these measures help keep it from spoiling. Similarly, most ground flax seeds–whose oils (fats) have been exposed to the air through the grinding process– are sold in vacuum-sealed packages; once you open them, keep them refrigerated and use them within a few weeks, or freeze them. The most stable way to buy flax seeds would be in whole seed form; however, this means you will have to grind them before using them (a little coffee grinder works great for this purpose). This is why food manufacturers usually use whole flax seeds when adding them to food: any other form would impair the shelf-life of their product. But eating whole flax seeds offers minimal nutritional benefit, as the sturdy seed coat protects the seeds from your digestive enzymes. As a result, most flax seeds will pass through your digestive system intact without being digested. So if you're relying on tortilla chips or crackers with whole flax seeds to help provide you with your daily omega-3 needs, you may want to reconsider.
And what's so important about omega-3's?
First, they are necessary structural components of cell membranes. As such, they are essential to normal growth and development. There are present in high concentrations in the brain and the eyes, which means that an adequate intake of these essential fats is especially important to maintain optimal cognitive function and vision.
Second, they are precursors to a group of biologically-active substances, called eicosanoids, that have a critical role in regulating inflammatory responses throughout the body. Eicosanoids made from omega-3 fatty acids, like the ones in flaxseed, tend to counteract inflammation, both by promoting anti-inflammatory reactions (like dilating blood vessels to prevent high blood pressure or preventing platelets from aggregating in the blood, which can cause dangerous clots) AND competing with the pro-inflammatory omega-6 fats for a home in your cell membranes.
As you may have surmised, diets rich in omega-3 fats are associated with decreased risk for all sorts of inflammatory diseases, with the evidence strongest for a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease and certain types of stroke. This means that foods rich in omega-3 fats are an especially good choice for people who have a history of these diseases, or who have risk factors for these diseases, such as high cholesterol, high triglycerides, high blood pressure or diabetes. There is also some evidence to support a role of omega-3 fats in improving symptoms of other inflammatory conditions, like rheumatoid arthritis and ulcerative colitis.
Flax seeds and Omega-3's
The type of omega-3 fatty acid that flax seed contains is called ALA. ALA is a form of omega-3 fatty acid found in plants; the other major food source is walnuts. Our bodies need ALA as a precursor to make 2 even longer fatty acids called EPA and DHA. By now, you may be thinking that this is a pretty inefficient way to get EPA and DHA, and you'd be right. While ALA is an essential precursor to EPA/DHA, the conversion rate is very inefficient: only about 10% of the ALA is actually converted into EPA/DHA. This is why fish and fish oil supplements are so much more popular than flax seeds: Fatty fish, like salmon, mackerel, herring, sardines and anchovies are excellent direct sources of EPA and DHA, in the exact form you need them, ready to go. In fact, most research that studies the role of omega-3 fats on disease uses fish oil supplements for this exact reason.
How much omega-3 do you need?
When it comes to omega-3, two things matter. One: the actual amount of omega-3 fats that you eat. In this case, the recommended intake of ALA is 1.6g for men and 1.1g for women per day, which you can easily meet with just 1 tsp of flaxseed oil, 1-2 TBSP of ground flaxseeds or 1 oz (~1/4 cup) of walnuts. Easy!
The second thing that matters is the ratio of (pro-inflammatory) omega-6 fats and (anti-inflammatory) omega-3 fats in your diet. An ideal ratio would be somewhere between 1:1 and 4:1. In the typical western diet, the average ratio is closer to 10:1. (Yowza!) It is believed that this is one important factor behind the high rates of cardiovascular disease, heart disease and stroke in Western countries. Omega-6 fatty acids come from vegetable oils–including the ubiquitous refined corn and soybean oils used heavily in packaged snack foods, fast foods and restaurant foods. So replacing corn or soy oils with canola oil (which has some ALA) or olive oil when you cook at home, eating at least 2 servings of fatty fish per week, and/or incorporating small amounts of flax or walnuts into your daily diet will help you improve your ratio.
Flax seeds also have fiber
2 TBSPs of ground flax seed sprinkled onto anything you eat will add 5g of fiber in an instant! (That's about 20% of a woman's daily need.) This makes it an especially good addition to the diets of people with celiac disease, since many gluten-free grain products are notoriously low in fiber. (Oh, Did I mention flax was gluten-free?) The fiber in flaxseeds is associated with a reduced risk for cardiovascular disease, possibly through having an effect on lowering "bad" (LDL) cholesterol levels. Diets high in fiber are also beneficial for all of the regular reasons, like helping things move along properly in your intestines (which reduces constipation and reduces the risk of colon cancer.)
If you're interested in giving flax a chance, there are lots of ways to incorporate it into your diet:
Ground flax seeds taste nutty, so add them to foods where this taste profile would fit.
- Sprinkle ground flax seeds onto yogurt, onto cold cereal, onto oatmeal or hot cereal (after its cooked), into smoothies, into bean dishes or soups, or atop cooked vegetables you might usually top with nuts (e.g., string bean
- Add ground flax seeds into baked goods, especially breads or muffins. (Try this recipe for a tasty high-fiber flax muffin that will sneak some omega-3's into your breakfast deliciously.) I'd pair this with some low-fat yogurt for breakfast or an afternoon snack for a nicely-balanced ~300-ish calorie change from my usual routine. It's an interesting recipe, as it calls for no added oils or fats. All of the fat in the muffin comes from the flax and the nuts, which means that it's almost entirely heart-healthy unsaturated fat. When I made them, I cut the brown sugar down to 3/4 cup–which made for a just-sweet-enough muffin. (If you prefer a sweeter muffin, you may want to keep the full 1 cup…or better yet you can spread a thin layer of fruit butter or natural fruit preserves onto your baked reduced-sugar version.) If you like walnuts, use them as the chopped nuts that the recipe calls for and you'll squeeze even more omega-3's into this little muffin. To make these muffins gluten free, I substituted the wheat flour for GF all-purpose flour and the oat bran with hazelnut meal. I also used chopped hazelnuts as my nut to keep with the general theme.)
- Try this famous vegan baking trick: replace one egg in a baking recipe with 1 TBSP ground flaxseed + 3 TBSP warm water, mixed together.
- Add 1 tsp of flaxseed oil into a smoothie or onto a salad. (Note: do not cook with flaxseed oil or add it to hot food, as the heat will destroy its beneficial properties and make it taste "off".)
Where to find Flax
Any health food store or supplement store (e.g., GNC) will sell at least one form of flax seeds. (Note: only buy the oil if its been refrigerated!) Many better supermarkets –like Whole Foods–will also sell whole or ground flaxseeds. Several national brands market flax seeds: Bob's Red Mill and Arrowhead Mills, for example.

September 11, 2012 Megan Bedard Even in the land of plenty, hunger is a real issue. One in five Americans lives in a household that can't always put food on the table. Food banks and federal programs step in to help out, but the war on hunger has some lesser-known heroes as well: chefs who donate their skills and celebrity to feed the hungry. Here are five chefs cooking up a little kindness.

Joyi wins in the first round
By Ron Jackson
Former IBF minimumweight champion Nkosinathi Joyi came back in style when he stopped Argentina's Walter Rojas in 2 minutes and 13 seconds of the first round to win the WBA interim mini flyweight belt at the Orient Theatre in East London on Saturday night. The southpaw Joyi, 29, whose record improves to 23-1, 15 KOs suffered his first defeat when he was knocked out in the seventh round by Mario Rodriguez of Mexico on September 1 this year, to lose his IBF belt. The taller Joyi was in control from the first bell before sending Rojas 20-2-1; 18 down with a left hand to the body. The Argentinean managed to beat the count but the referee waved the fight off when his corner threw in the towel.
On the same card Zolani Marali 22-5, 13 KOs gained revenge when he outpointed WBF champion Ali Funeka 31-4-3, 25 KOs to claim Funeka's junior welterweight belt. In November last year Funeka, 34, won the vacant World Boxing Federation belt when he scored a highly disputed decision against the 35-year-old Marali. In an entertaining fight that was fought toe-to-toe throughout, Marali won with scores of 116-114 and 116-113 twice.
In a closely fought contest former Commonwealth bantamweight champion and IBO junior featherweight champion Tshifhiwa Munyai outscored former WBF champion Oscar Chauke over 12 rounds to win the vacant WBA Pan-African junior featherweight crown. Munyai improved his record to 22-2-1, with 10 knockouts, and Chauke dropped to 29-8-2; 10.
South African junior featherweight champion Macbute Sinyabi 20-2; 18 KOs struggled against Pfariso Neluvhalani 9-7-1; 1 KOs before winning on points over 12 hard rounds to retain his title. Sinyabi who had stopped Neluvhalani in the seventh round in December 2010 retained his belt for the ninth time.
The tournament was presented by Siphatho Handi

"Does Provestra work?" This is a question many women will have prior to making a purchase. I certainly have to agree with those that would prefer a little assurance before buying anything. If you have been promised the moon by many different supplements on the market only to discover the supplements do not work, you probably will be a lot less likely to give a supplement the benefit of a doubt. Rather, they will want a little assurance regarding the validity of the product before they make a purchase.
Before we answer that question, we need to examine what the product claims to do. On the most basic of levels, this is a supplement designed to increase a woman's sex drive. This is the prime benefit to the product but it also has several additional benefits ranging from a decrease in hot flashes to enhanced female lubrication. Considering the many multifaceted benefits to this female libido enhancement supplement, it is no surprise that it has grown in popularity. Yet, the question remains…"Does Provestra work?"
The truth of the matter is that you will only know if it works if you actually try the product. This is because different people have different physiologies and the supplement will react differently when it enters their system. However, to assume that this supplement is a complete dud and that it will not work would be a rather inaccurate assessment.
This is a quality supplement that has long since established as one of the best female libido enhancers on the market. Sadly, a large number of these supplements are somewhat fraudulent in terms of their claims. This is largely due to the dubious nature of how the product was developed. Provestra does not share such similarities of the more popular placebos.
Provestra is the product of a mix of various natural herbs. This allows the product to credibly claim a holistic nature designed for it to work in harmony with the human body. If does not contain any harsh pharmaceuticals which is always considered a plus.
Additionally, one of the greatest aspects that will lend credibility to the question "Does Provestra work?" would be the fact that this supplement has been approved by several doctors. This is not to say that the medical community has endorsed this supplement as a "cure all" for women's libido issues. However, the fact that practicing doctors have mentioned their belief in the value of the supplement should never be overlooked. When a doctor loses his/her credibility then a lot of problems could ensue. This is why the fact that physicians have endorsed the value of this supplement is not something that should ever be overlooked or dismissed.
It is certainly wise to ask "Does Provestra work?" You only have so much money to invest in female health support supplements so it would be beneficial that you selected the right one for your needs and budget. Considering the quality of this supplement, it is likely it will work for you.

• evaluate the performance of process tasks and their results,
• gain insight into the causes of variation in process performance,
• analyze trends and pinpoint root causes of problems, and
• predict future process or project outcomes.
• make more accurate performance predictions,
• control their performance in real time,
• quickly identify the need for corrective action, and
• provide continually updated predictions about task and project outcomes.
• Process measurement. The available measures are often the wrong measures for analyzing process performance at the task or event level. Measures defined for monthly reporting are often poor measures for analyzing process tasks. Also, different predictive models might require different operational definitions from the same area of measurement. For instance, system availability might be predicted more accurately by mean time to failure than by defect density so long as the test data fairly represent the operational environment. Identifying the most effective measurement definitions for different QPM objectives would save industry much trial-and-error frustration.
• Statistical analysis of design work. Software development is nonroutine, knowledge-intense design work, from the architecture phase through coding. Process events differ in terms of actors, component difficulties, and conditions and are therefore typically affected by multiple sources of variation. Are statistical techniques borrowed from manufacturing appropriate for characterizing this behavior, or do we need different statistical techniques for characterizing the capability and sources of variation in design work? The Point/Counterpoint essays associated with this special section (pp. 48–51) debate the appropriateness of statistical process control methods drawn from manufacturing. These answers are critical for industrial practice.
• Individual and team capability. Individual and team performance is affected by multiple sources of variation, some differing among successive tasks and others differing across projects. We need ways to represent how these sources affect capability and how to develop expectations for evaluating process performance as these sources of variation change. For instance, how should our expectations of process performance change on the basis of a developer's experience or skill? How should we characterize a team's capability on the basis of its mix of experience and skill levels? How do we adjust and apply QPM methods to get the best control and prediction in a mixed capability environment?
• Aggregating measures for system prediction. The example in figure 1 appears simple until we realize that we're trying to predict a system characteristic using bundles of measures taken at the component level. For instance, we're using defect data from inspections of components to predict system quality. When and how should we aggregate these predictors from the component level to predict a system attribute?
• Validating benefits. QPM methods need stronger validation than the results offered in case studies, given that negative results are rarely published. We must test these techniques' marginal value by comparing their additional contributions to prediction and control versus the value of statistical methods that are computed only at major milestones during development. Validations of benefits in multiple industries help develop confidence in managers who have little previous experience with such methods.

Taxpayer asks:
I bought a new Honda Accord in the spring which I know will qualify for the new car tax break. My wife wants to buy another car by the end of the year – our dealer is having a close-out. I told her I'd do it if we can still get the tax break. So am I making her happy this year?
Taxgirl says:
Yes! Go put a smile on her face. There is no limit on the number of cars which qualify for the new car sales tax deduction, so long as they are considered "qualified vehicles."
A "qualified vehicle" is a passenger automobile, light truck or motorcycle which has a gross vehicle weight rating of 8,500 pounds or less (motor home also qualify). You can deduct the sales tax paid on up to $49,500 of the purchase price. And it has to be a new vehicle (not just new to you).
Phase outs and other restrictions apply, so read the fine print.
Enjoy your new car!
Like any good lawyer, I need to add a disclaimer: Unfortunately, it is impossible to give comprehensive tax advice over the internet, no matter how well researched or written. Before relying on any information given on this site, contact a tax professional to discuss your particular situation.

New PSA Series about Type 2 Diabetes Prevention in American Indian and Alaska Native Communities
Now available: "Our Cultures Are Our Source of Health"
The CDC's Division of Diabetes Translation (DDT) Native Diabetes Wellness Program (NDWP) and the Traditional Foods Project's tribal partners are pleased to announce the availability of video public service announcements (PSAs) entitled "Our Cultures Are Our Source of Health." The PSAs highlight the wisdom of cultural knowledge, including harvesting local foods and playing traditional games, in promoting health and preventing diseases like type 2 diabetes in American Indian and Alaska Native communities.
American Indian and Alaska Native adults are twice as likely to have diagnosed diabetes as non-Hispanic whites. In addition, Native American youth aged 10 to 19 years are developing type 2 diabetes at higher rates than youth in other racial and ethnic groups of this age.
The PSAs were filmed on site at the Cherokee Nation in Tahlequah, Oklahoma and feature representatives from tribal partners from across the United States, as well as renowned Cherokee actor Wes Studi, known for his movie roles including Avatar, The Last of the Mohicans, and Dances with Wolves.
The PSA series is available online:

So far Brussels seems like the armpit of Europe. You could easily think you are in a Middle Eastern country by how much Arabic I see and hear here. I'm not sure why that is though. I met some Korean girls who are funny as hell and we're going to check out Bruges tomorrow which is an hour away. It's supposed to be a lot nicer.

Under-pinning Oracle's gripping come-from-behind defence of the America's Cup is an irrefutable truth - a cluster of innovative marine-related businesses and yachties who make their home in a 50km radius between Warkworth and central Auckland were the real winners.
They provided the leadership, crew members - both on the boats and onshore - built the boats for the America's Cup and pre-AC45 event and designed the sails. In the development of the innovative yachting technology that is the hallmark of recent contests, Auckland, the City of Sails, is supreme.
From developing the first fibreglass 12 Metre yachts, to the modern composite hull construction, to the foiling technology that turned this year's Cup races into a spectacular event, Auckland boatbuilders and yachties have provided the vision and led the way for at least the past 20 years.
Whether it was Oracle Team USA, Emirates Team New Zealand or Italy's Luna Rossa, a considerable portion of the multi-million dollars spent by each syndicate will have found its way back to Auckland.
With companies such as Cookson Boats, Southern Spars, Bruce Farr designs and Kiwi sailors liberally sprinkled throughout America's Cup fleets over the past 20 years, Auckland has become widely recognised as the Silicon Valley of the yachting world.
This "Silicon Valley" comparison brand has been foisted on Auckland by accident, not the result of a deliberate industry strategy. However, if Auckland is now to get serious about leveraging the latest America's Cup success, the Formula 1 cluster of motorsport industries in England's Oxfordshire is a better comparison and a model which we could emulate.
Regardless of national identity or product brand - and that Formula 1 teams travel to about 20 countries to race each year - eight of the 11 teams (Red Bull, Force India, Lotus, Mercedes, Williams, Caterham, Marussia and McLaren) are located within 80 minutes' drive of each other near Silverstone, home of the British Grand Prix.
The Formula 1 motorsport cluster began to emerge in the 1950s. There were lots of flat airfields that were closed when World War II ended, and many aerospace engineers who lived in the area who were used to building fast, lightweight airplanes but without an option to use their skills.
The engineers started building lightweight cars to race on the airfields which became race tracks.
With them came suppliers and entrepreneurs, including designer Robin Herd, former FIA president Max Mosley and in the 1960s our own Bruce McLaren.
When satellite television arrived in the 1980s and needed to fill air time, motorsport stepped in and filled the role.
They were soon building cars for a range of championships and countries. Force India carries the national colours of India. The Mercedes Formula One team is often seen as the national champion of Germany. Marussia is owned by a Russian sportscar maker. All are constructed in Oxfordshire.
Nicknamed "Motorsport Valley", Oxfordshire has become a centre of engineering expertise that goes well beyond Formula 1. Almost 3500 companies associated with motorsport are based there, employing about 40,000 people. That represents about 80 per cent of the world's high-performance engineers.
The British Government has latched on to this and supplies funding and incentives to encourage individuals and companies to push the boundaries of innovation in an area similarly compared to Silicon Valley.
It is a parallel combination of factors in Auckland's "Yachting Valley" that invites serious attention to a global marketing and branding strategy to entice international marine companies to use the Auckland test-bed and "development laboratory".
The Waitemata Harbour gives Auckland a comparative advantage without peer; it is the nursery where world-leading sailors and technologists have honed their passion and competitiveness.
Auckland has a unique combination of local competitiveness among yacht building yards, designers, marine companies and yachties, just like the south of England at the birth of Formula 1. Yet they can also provide a "one-stop shop" for international customers who gain from knowing that all the major suppliers are within a few kilometres of each other.
We may not have won the America's Cup this time, but the deep involvement of Auckland's Yachting Valley firms and individuals in every aspect of the event provided many jobs and injected millions into the economy.
When the economic benefit assessment is done, we believe the Government's $36 million investment into Team New Zealand will reveal a significant return, not just from the international branding and tourism opportunities that will follow the global exposure New Zealand Inc received, but from the direct benefits generated by the investment into Auckland's Yachting Valley enterprises by international customers - Oracle Team USA especially.
There is little doubt that further Government investment in Team New Zealand will be an economic winner. But we think there is merit in examining a broader strategy including incentives to make Auckland even more attractive to our competitors.
America's Cup 2013 reinforced that the NZ marine industry can create global success from the bottom of the world. If Oracle's Larry Ellison's vision to create a Formula I-like series of fast and exciting yacht races in locations around the world is to get traction, the input of Auckland's innovative boat builders and yachties will be critical to its success.

1867 -1993
It was in 1852 when the sound of the first train was heard in Missouri. At least twenty two railroads made their way across Missouri for the next forty three years. Four to five thousand miles of track were laid from 1852 until 1895 during the period of railroad building in Missouri. The railroad brought the remotest districts into close connection with St. Louis the center of western railroads and inland commerce.
The Pacific railroad from St. Louis to the western line of the state was chartered in 1850. However, it had only reached Sedalia, Missouri by the time the Civil War started when construction was halted for two years. The war brought set backs and financial problems to the railroads. On 16 May 1857 a bond election was held to subscribe $150,000 to aid in building the railroad. A large majority of votes were polled in its subscription in three equal annual amounts of $50,000 each year during 1858, 1859 and 1860. Nothing was done until August 1860, when representatives of the Pacific Railroad and county court made a new contract changing the amount and interest of said subscription. Shortly after this event the Civil War became the all absorbing subject of interest. Work ceased on the railroad and was not completed through Cass County until late in 1865. This resulted in the main line of the Missouri Pacific crossing from east to north in a curved line going through Pleasant Hill, Missouri.
Shortly after the Civil war was over, the railroad moved west and with it came St. Bridget's original congregation, some twenty families a few being Brierly, Connell, Dwyer, Fitzgerald, Galvins, O'Connell, Worlens, Morrah and Marriott.
Mass was held in the homes of Catholic families or at Gosch's Hall as there was no church. Priests came from Independence or Holden once a month to say Mass.
The year of 1868 some of the Catholic men in Pleasant Hill consulted Archbishop Kenrick of St. Louis, whose diocese then included all territory now known as the Kansas City diocese, to purchase property for a Catholic Church. He promised to purchase property, which he did.
In 1868 one fourth block of land was purchased for $200.00. In the year 1870 the first Catholic Church in Cass County (a frame building) was erected. It was dedicated to St. Bridget of Ireland. The families who built the church were predominately Irish; therefore, it was only reasonable to name the church after St. Bridget of Ireland. Bridget was also the name of Dennis O'Connell's wife. The church was dedicated to Saint Bridget of Ireland in the year 1871 by Bishop John Hogan. In 1880 some nine years later, the church was destroyed by fire. Again Mass was held in Catholic homes. During Father Mackin's four year tenure of the church he supervised the construction of the brick church suitably furnished at a cost of $2,500. In 1885 the second church was dedicated by Bishop John J. Hogan, now bishop of the new Diocese of Kansas City. He was assisted by Father Mackin and Father William Dalton. Father Dalton was a pioneer Kansas City pastor. Among the lay people active in the affairs of the mission were; Messers Marriott, Connell, Fitzgerald and Brierly.
In 1874 Father James Phelan, from Holden, assumed charge of the Pleasant Hill mission and under his guidance it grew to a membership of seventy families. In 1882 Father James Phelan resigned.
From 1882 to 1896 Father Joseph Aschieri, who founded the school at Holden, Missouri which flourished for many years under the direction of the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, was in charge of the Pleasant Hill Mission. He said Mass twice a month, usually, but sometimes only once a month. During his time, Bishop Hogan administered Confirmation in the church and a successful mission was held.
In 1896 Father Frederick Hovestadt, pastor of Lee's Summit, took charge of the Pleasant Hill Mission and during his administration of six years the Altar Society was organized with seventy members, and the church grounds were improved. Confirmation was administered by Bishop John J. Glennon, who at that time was coadjutor to Bishop Hogan. Father Hovestadt was later chaplain at St. Mary's Hospital.
From 1902 to 1905 Father T. J. Fortune had charge of the parish and made his residence for a time, in Pleasant Hill. In 1903, Father John Handley, C. S. P. a well known Paulist missionary gave a successful mission here.
Father Cyprian Sauer, O.F.M. who became pastor of St. Francis Seraph Parish Kansas City east bottoms took charge of the mission. Father Sauer succeeded Father Fortune and during his pastorate of two years worked faithfully among his people.
In 1905 Father Polycarp Van Mourik took charge of the mission and remained for two years. He advertised the Christmas Masses at 7:00, 9:00 and 10:30 a.m. Mass for 1906 would be on the first and third Sundays of the month.
Father Lack O.F.M. assumed charge of the parish in 1907. While he was in charge of the mission he repaired and decorated the church, established the St. Joseph Men's Society (forty members) and had the sacrament of Confirmation administered by Bishop Thomas F. Lillis.
Father Hoeft succeeded Father Lack in 1911, who by his zeal and piety brought back many to the church.
Father William P. Brophy was appointed pastor to the mission in July 1913. The three years he was pastor he improved the church in several ways and had the Sacrament of Confirmation administered.
In June 1916 Rev. James Manley of Pleasant Hill who said his first Mass at St. Bridget, was ordained for the North Carolina diocese.
The year 1916 Father John J. Whalan served fourteen years as pastor. The year 1919 shows him alternating Masses of 8:30 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. and found the people good devout Catholics but not so many as in former years. In 1922 Father Whalan spent several months, with his family, in Ireland.
The year 1916 the Missouri Pacific round house was removed from Pleasant Hill and took several members of the congregation away; but there was still left a good congregation of devout and faithful worshipers. There were twenty two practical families in the mission, who attended Mass every Sunday as the opportunity was given to do so. Since the establishment of the Church to 1924 there were on an average two converts a year. There is no Catholic cemetery in the town and no parochial residence ever erected at Pleasant Hill. From the foundation of the mission to present time, the congregation has been unable to erect a Catholic school, hospital or any other charitable institution.
In June 1926 "The Menance," an anti-papist paper with a national circulation of 30,000 copies moved to Pleasant Hill. Father Whalan was asked, "What do you think of this"? Father replied, "well they had to publish somewhere, don't worry about it." It never got off the ground.
June 1930 Father James Wallace, from Mansfield, Missouri, was appointed the new pastor. His mother lived with him, and was a convert. Father Wallace took charge when Father John Whalan moved to the Boy's Home in Kansas City, Missouri.
During the early 1930"s St. Bridget continued to be served by the pastor in Lee's Summit. It was Depression time and there were only a few members left, those were descendents of the earliest families. Father Wallace frankly said to us, "either have twelve people for Mass or I won't be coming", there were nine. Most everyone was giving twenty five cents a Sunday and Father was saying, "he didn't want to see a thin dime in the box". Bill Gary was the only Catholic high school student and Geraldine Knorpp later Geraldine Knorpp Scheer the only Catholic grade school student. In 1939 the Ledwidges moved to Pleasant Hill, that meant one more Catholic grade school student and two high school students.
During Father Wallace's pastorate the church was repaired and remodeled on a large scale. Not a lot of changes had been made to the interior of the church other than new paper and paint. In 1933 under the direction of the pastor, Rev. James Wallace, the church underwent major redecorating, gas heating was installed, eliminating the old pot bellied coal stove, electricity replaced the coal oil lamps, stained glass windows were put in, the walls painted and new stations graced the walls. Another coat of varnish was put on the pews.
The church, built more than sixty years ago, was the only Catholic Church in Cass County. The cost of remodeling was donated by a friend. The woodwork inside refinished in old ivory. The little altar, which was more than seventy five years old, was rebuilt and equipped with new brass candlesticks, altar cards and Missals. The altar was draped with red velvet and two adoring angels completed the simple yet attractive sanctuary. The sanctuary lamp, which hung before the altar for more than a half a century, was re-plated and refinished and returned as a gift from the young man who served Mass at the altar every Sunday and holy days through the year. Every member of the small congregation made sacrifices to be part of this improvement. The rededication of the church was held December 17, 1933.
A joint choir, consisting of singers from St. Mary's Parish, Lee's Summit and Pleasant Hill, sang the response at the Sunday Mass, and several altar boys came. Father Wallace was in charge of both parishes.
After the celebration of High Mass by the Reverend Father Wallace in the morning, at which time there were two visiting priests Fathers Conrad and Fitzgerald from Holden, the assemblage adjourned to the Angler's Club house at Lake Leonard to partake of an old fashioned basket dinner. The collection (and it was a splendid one) was enjoyed by between one hundred fifty and one hundred sixty people. Attendance from Harrisonville was especially good.
In 1935 members of the parish gave rings and other jewelry for a new chalice. Father Wallace donated his grandmother's gold watch.
December 1936 Father Francis Edward Hagedorn replaced Father Wallace. Father Hagedorn was ordained in 1921.
In July of 1938 Father Hagedorn was assigned to lead the Lee's Summit parish, only.
In July 1938 the Bishop pulled St. Bridget Mission away from the long standing association with Lee's Summit, and Father James Walton was assigned to say Mass in Pleasant Hill while he was also starting a parish in Blue Springs. During that summer, Father came to Pleasant Hill each day to take the children to summer school. He was living in a cabin at Lake Tapawingo and had secured a building on Blue Springs Main Street for Mass each morning. Ed Borserine, also lived at Lake Tapawingo, and he came in and served on the altar, while his brother Jerry, went to the basement, with his tools, trying to upgrade the church. That summer Father had vacation Bible school. He first came to Pleasant Hill to get three children and to East Lyne, outside of Harrisonville, and picked up one boy there. It was a very long trip for Father. At the end of the two weeks Father wanted a party at his cabin. When the children and there mothers arrived the place was a shambles and the mothers said forget the party and let's get Father's place cleaned up, and forgot the entertainment. Father Walton also started St. John LaLande Parish in Blue Springs, Missouri.
September 1939 Father Crowell, of St. Joseph's Hospital, covered Pleasant Hill and stayed at St. Joseph Hospital as the chaplain. He was about twenty nine years old and someone said to Mable Knorpp "Look what the Bishop sent us, a kid". He stayed at St. Bridget until 1951 and shaped the lives of every young person. Father Crowell was also the USO moderator. In 1949 there was a celebration for Father Crowell being here ten years. Father also founded churches at Harrisonville and Belton.
In 1950 Bishop O'Hara had confirmation here. He asked a child, "Where is the sea of Jordan, is it Lake Tapawingo?" The little girl said "Yes". The Bishop took Father Crowell to Rome for six weeks in 1951.
In 1951 Father Edwin Connelly replaces Father Crowell who moved to Blue Springs. In September 1952 Father Connelly had a heart attack and was later diagnosed with ALS. During this time Father Francis Weir came to serve as his assistant. Father Weir served as pastor until 1958.
In 1958 Father Michael McBrien was appointed the new pastor, he came from Christ the King Parish, Kansas City, Missouri.
Father Walter W. Puetz, formerly pastor of Immaculate Conception Parish Montrose, Missouri, was appointed Vicar Econome or Administrator of Harrisonville Parish and St. Bridget Parish, Pleasant Hill, Missouri in 1960. Father Puetz organized the Knights of Columbus.
In 1962 Monsignor Schumacher and two priests had their last "street preaching" in Pleasant Hill.
Father Puetz was found expired in the church rectory in the spring of 1963. It was thought he had died two days earlier. He had come from Germany as a small child.
Father Larry Galliot came to Pleasant Hill for the summer in 1963 and he brought along seminarians Jim Brady and John Frain. In the fall Father Galliot went to Rome to study.
September 1963 Father Mifcovic took charge as the new pastor. He had been an army chaplain for many years, and spoke a lot about his experiences in the military. During his pastorate at St. Bridget Parish two big changes were made in the Mass. The first change was on Advent Sunday 29 November 1964, the Second Vatican Council okayed the moving of the Church Altar so the priests would face the people while celebrating Mass; also on that day the priests celebrated Mass in English, instead of Latin, up to the beginning of the preface; the Eucharistic Prayer was said in Latin until the great Amen, the rest of the Mass was said in English. Advent Sunday 30 November 1969 new prayers and new responses were introduced and the Eucharistic prayers were said in English. These changes were the first in the history of the Catholic Church.
In 1967 new pews were installed, as a gift of Minnie McAvoy. Carpet was laid in the Church. The parish had sixty families. Of the original twenty families, there were descendants of two of the families remaining in the parish, Loretta Fairchild, granddaughter of Mike Brierly, William Garry, Henry and Richard Scheer, Mary Jo Saubers and William "Bill" Sloan, grandchildren P. H. Marriott.
Father Clarence "Clancy" Ryan replaced Father Mifcovic in 1970 when Father Mifcovic retired.
Confirmation was held in October 1972. Bishop Charles Helmsing came to St. Bridget to administer Confirmation. After the ceremony, all motored to the Pleasant Hill Country Club to a reception honoring the confirmandi. A nice social gathering was enjoyed by all.
In the 1970's Loretta Brierly Fairchild, reared in Pleasant Hill by her aunt Mrs. O. L. Beasley and granddaughter of Mike Brierly, donated yew shrubbery which were planted in front of the church.
Father Donald Cleary came as our new pastor in August 1981. Not a lot of changes had been made to the interior or exterior of the church the last twenty years, except some painting. The community was growing and St. Bridget church was growing with it. In November 1984, under Father Cleary's direction, a building committee was formed to discuss the needs of the parish and pursue a path to meet these needs. William "Bill" Sloan was chosen to be Building Committee chairman. The people of the parish opted to remodel our present church and construct a parish hall to fulfill the social and educational needs. The goals took much longer than expected. The delay was mostly due to negotiations between the builder and architect in choosing and specifying alternatives to meet cost objectives while maintaining quality construction.
The remodeling of the church consisted of renovation of the interior and exterior which included a heating/air conditioning system, and increased capacity. The parish hall consisted of a general purpose area with kitchen facilities and restrooms.
Every member of the parish contributed materially and/or financially to allow completion of the project for a cost $263,000 without any outstanding debt.
The first phase of the project was the construction and completion of the parish hall. The second phase of the plan was remodeling and complete renovation of the church. During this phase the church pews and all liturgical items used for Mass were moved into the parish hall. All the statues in the church were taken to the home of Ralph and Roberta Klein. The brick exterior was sand blasted, tucked pointed and weather proofed to protect the brick from the elements.
St. Bridget church at that time was over 100 years old. Bishop John J. Sullivan rededicated St. Bridget during a Mass Saturday 28 May 1985 at 1:00 p. m. Father Michael Coleman, diocesan archivist and vicar concelebrated the Mass. Father Coleman is the great grandson of Dennis O'Connell, one of the builders of the first St. Bridget Church. At that time St. Bridget had a membership of 55 families. After Mass everyone enjoyed a reception of finger sandwiches, chips, cake, coffee, nuts and mints. There were many events held in the parish hall. There was Mass, parish dinners, funeral dinners, chili suppers, vacation Bible School, garage sales, alumni dinners, etc.
In 1985 Roberta Klein saw a need for some beautification to the church grounds. Roberta talked with Father Cleary regarding this need. He was in agreement and gave her permission to pursue it. She talked with Dorothy Thompson in regard to helping her and the two of them drew a plan and contacted a nurseryman and the three of them chose shrubbery consisting of China Holly and Burning Bush. Some of the men, women and children of the parish helped with setting out the foundation plantings, planting flowers and bulbs in the large rock planter on the south side of the church.
Over twenty priests have served St. Bridget through her many years. A mission we are and a mission we would always be. First a mission to Lee's Summit and finally a mission of Harrisonville.
Father John Santner was assigned to St. Bridget in 1991 and remained for almost three years. He had been a air force chaplain and was in the reserves. During his pastorate at St. Bridget he organized the first parish council and engaged women of the parish to become Eucharistic Ministers.
In 1993 Reverend Bradley S. Offutt was assigned to be pastor of St. Bridget mission.
There have been two pastoral associates since 1991. The first was Sister Deborah Troy 1991 to 1994 and Mary Hillman from 1994 to 2003.
In 1999 St. Bridget had a membership of 147 families and about 130 children from kindergarten through grade eight enrolled in school of religion.

After analyzing the results of interviews with 850,000 people, researchers Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton found the key difference between those who are happiest and most energized at work is whether their work aligns with what motivates them.
But knowing what most motivates us isn't easy. It's often not what our culture tends to emphasize, things like status or money or even using our strengths.
The authors' research shows that if people understand better what their motivators really are, they can make some relatively moderate changes within their careers that will make them much more engaged and happier.
Join us as the New York Times bestselling authors of The Carrot Principle and All In unveil their exciting new work, and offer an extensively-tested method to identify anyone's unique blend of core motivators and then help them align more of their work with what drives them.

Sinkholes: Should Butte residents be concerned?
BUTTE, Mont. - Emergency crews near Tampa, Florida, are scratching their heads after a giant sinkhole killed a man and swallowed most of his bedroom while he was sleeping. Now searches for sinkholes are sweeping online search engines since the incident occurred.
The town of Butte is notorious for endless shafts underground and sinkholes due to its rich mining history.
According to sinkholegroup.com Mother Nature can cause a sinkhole of any size to pop up anywhere at any given time.
"It is something that's becoming a bit of a concern," said Kathleen Weber, a Butte resident.
But what's the possibility of a southwest Montana sinkhole opening up with the same magnitude and force as one did in Florida?
Experts tell NBC Montana the chances are slim even with sinkholes being common in Silver Bow County, but they typically only occur around old mining yards.
Even with the probability being low, locals tell NBC Montana just the possibility of a sinkhole happening in their backyard is terrifying.
"It scares me a lot because I've got a son and I don't want him falling in and I don't want our place to fall in because it would be pretty traumatic, it really would," said Kelly Weber, a Butte resident.
An expert in geology says people in southwest Montana have other geographical hazards that have a higher chance of occurring before sinkholes.
"I know they're not in the top five of hazards identified in the county," said Colleen Elliott, a research geologist at Montana Tech.
City officials warn not to let your guard down, and to watch for any signs of sinking or slumping ground around your home.
If you notice any suspicious signs that may relate to the possibility of a sinkhole opening up call the county immediately at (406) 497-6257.

Still packaged, never even attempted to install. Includes unit, switch/cable, and instructions. I will also throw in a haldex filter and fluid for free. Price is $800 plus shipping, just trying to make my money back since I have a sweet haldex paper weight sitting here. This does not include a knob for the switch, units never came with them.
For anyone interested, I also have a stock exhaust(approx 15k miles) and a whispbar s16 roof rack with all the hardware. I will make another thread for that stuff if the haldex sells.

Frame mounted Brake System
Just looking for more info an this. Seen alot of people use them. Can you just buy the mount and attach your pre existing master and booster? Do you need to buy the whole system? Are they any good? Where/ who is the best company to go to?
ps. the system will go on a 47 chevy coupe.
Maybe then maybe not is about the only answer with the limited amount of information you gave us. What car do you have, where is the original mounted and where will you mount the replacement - firewall, floor, 90* under dash, etc.
the original i believe was on the firewall, but im not sure. the car is just the shell and frame, 47 Chevy coupe. just exploring my options. Looking at what other do.
I would probably start here for the bracket/pedal mount: http://www.yogisinc.com/Detail.cfm/-...94/product.htm
For appearance sake, under floorboards, my opinion :D , would be your best choice. Firewall mounts tend to create working space problems as well as just plain looking cobbled up.
I hope you are going to at least use front disc brakes plus improve the rears as this vintage Chebbie really has lousy originals.
Dave W
'47 is factory under floor
well, thanks for the info. Didn't know the brake system was under the car to start. Mine doesn't exist. as far as the brakes go. the conversion was done already. the car has a front stub off a 70 camaro and rear out of a Monte Carlo. Man i have a lot of work ahead of me.
