Vanos completed some insight/ DIY to replace broken studs on that hold VANOS unit

I did mine as well this weekend, and I had a difficult time getting the old seals out without scratching up the sides of the piston. I didn't put any deep gashes in mine but there were a few noticeable scratches. I doubt they had any effect on the sealing of the piston.
Car doesn't drive all that different, but then again I never had any VANOS failure symptoms before hand (no low RPM power loss or surging at 3k). My VCG was leaking and I figured I should do the vanos seals while I was in there.
Took me about 5 hours but I was cleaning the garage up at the same time as well as doing the front engine pullies and fixing a vaccum line that broke while I was taking the valve cover off.

No controversy: an analysis of the quarterback situation.
By Alexander Vesha
"Depression is the inability to construct a future."
-Rollo May
The forecast for the 2009 Cleveland Browns: gloomy with torrential shame.
There are teams who play well – but lose. There are teams with a good defense but poor offense – and they lose. There are teams with a good offense but poor defense – and they lose. And then there's the bad, bad, Cleveland Browns. Baddest team in almost every damn category:
On offense: last in the league in yards per game (218)
2nd to last in total points (29)
2nd to last in turnovers (-7)
2nd to last in passing yards (146.7)
Last in longest play from scrimmage (26)
3rd worst in QB rating (51)
4th worst in rushing yards (214)
2nd to last in yards per catch (8.8)
Last in receiving TDs (1)
(I can hear Harry Doyle in my head: That's it? One catch? One g*damn catch?)
On defense: 3rd worst in yards given up per game (412.7)
Last in total points (95)
3rd worst in total yards rushing (553)
2nd worst in big plays (2 rushes for 40+ yards)
Last in the league with 0 interceptions
Only their pass defense has been passable (16th in the league)
The stink emanating from Cleveland is powerful enough for biological warfare.
Are you depressed yet? Do you want to hear something more depressing? Everything you've just read… that's not the worst part. As bad as the first three games have been, and as bad as the next thirteen games will be, that's not the worst part. The worst part is the feeling you get when you ask yourself this question:
What if 2009 isn't the low point?
The Browns have been rebuilding for a decade. "Building for the future." The future arrives and it's more of the past. A new coach comes in, a few years go by, the new coach gets fired and they tear down what little structure they've erected. And they actually make fans pay full price to watch them. Isn't there some kind of amateur football discount?
I wrote to the pessimists last week, asking for patience. I said 2009 was going to be ugly, really ugly, hug-your-mother ugly. (And it is.) But as bad as 2009 might be, I pointed out that Mangini has a better coaching record at this stage of his career than 8 out of 9 coaches who won the Super Bowl. Give him time, I said. We're going to see a lot of bad football in 2009, but at least we're constructing a future. At least 2010 won't be as bad as 2009, and maybe by 2011 or 2012 we'll have a playoff-contender in Cleveland. Finally.
And then what does Mangini do? He yanks the starting quarterback after two and a half games.
In order to construct a future, in order to rebuild, you need an architect. Benching Quinn after ten quarters of football is not the move of a smart architect.
10-6! 29 TDs! Pro Bowl!
I know. I heard you, Anderson fans. I have a one-word reply:
In his "magical" 2007 season, his 10-6 season, Anderson beat one team with a winning record.
That team: 10-6 Seattle. Anderson didn't even have a good game: 0 touchdowns, 1 interception, and a QB rating of 75.3. Seattle's pass defense was 19th in the league that year.
I'll say it again. One win against a team with a winning record. Not feeling as great about 10-6 now, hmm?
How about this? Anderson's best four games in 2007 were against:
7-9 Cincinnati (QB rating of 121)
5-11 Baltimore (109.5)
1-15 Miami (142.5)
3-13 St. Louis (143)
Those were his best four games, and they were all in the first half of the season. Against very bad teams.
And how did he do under pressure? The biggest game of the season: Dec 23, 2007. At Cincinnati. All he had to do to make the playoffs was beat 7-9 Cincinnati. Their overall team defense was 27th in the league! But DA laid an egg. Four interceptions and a QB rating of 53.4.
Do you think I'm picking on him? Fine, we'll look at his entire career. In his 27 career starts, guess how many times he beat a team with a winning record?
27 career starts. 13 wins. Of those 13 wins, only 2 wins came against teams with a winning record. (15%)
The total record of the teams he beat: 76-131 (.367)
The average team defense: 18th.
So… after 27 starts (almost two full seasons of football) DA has a losing record, 2 wins against good teams, and a career QB rating of 73.7.
He is not a franchise quarterback. You don't build your team around Derek Anderson. And – sadly – the Browns are at the stage where they need to build around a quarterback.
You still need proof that DA is not a long-term solution? Going back to 2000, 23 quarterbacks have made the playoffs more than once. Only 1 of those quarterbacks has a career QB rating as low as Anderson: Kerry Collins (73.7)
On a good team, Anderson would make a serviceable QB. Or a good backup. Unfortunately, the Browns are not a good team, and his role as a backup will only make things worse for the starter. There is no reason Derek Anderson should ever take another snap for the Cleveland Browns.
Mangini's decision is inexplicable. I thought we were building for the future?
Trade him. Get what you can, even if all you get is a 6th round draft pick, a Bud Light Grooler, and some bottled water for your players at a reasonable price. Maybe Anderson gives us a better shot to win on Sunday – maybe – but so what? What does one or two more wins this season mean, anyway? Are we going to get to the end of the season and still not know what we have in Quinn?
I've seen all I need to see of Quinn!
Oh, good, you again. You think 6 career starts is enough time to judge a quarterback? I bet the Baltimore Ravens are glad they don't share your evaluation methods, or Joe Flacco would be "that one guy who played six games last year before Troy Smith took over."
Flacco's numbers through his first six games: 2 TDs, 7 interceptions, a QB rating of 68.8… only slightly better than Quinn's 3 TDs, 5 interceptions, and QB rating of 64.9.
Flacco is 5th in the league right now with a QB rating of 101.4 In Quinn's only six starts, do you know how many of the opposing teams had a losing record?
One. That team was 7-9 Buffalo.
In Quinn's first three games this year, the opposing teams have a combined 9-0 record and their defenses currently rank 1st, 4th, and 7th in the league.
Those numbers will change, of course, and playing Cleveland only helped to inflate them… but we're judging Quinn based on the information we have now, both his numbers and the numbers of the opposition.
It's vital to make the right call at the quarterback position. If you want a consistent winner in Cleveland, if you want a team that makes the playoffs more than once a decade, you need to make the right decision at QB. Every year, there are 12 playoff spots available. 9 of those spots will be taken by quarterbacks who make the playoffs more than once.
Here are the numbers:
Going back to the 2000 season, there have been 108 playoff spots available. Only 25 of those spots were taken by a quarterback who made the playoffs just once. (23%)
We don't need one of those quarterbacks. We had one – Tim Couch.
So if we want a consistent winner, we need to look at the other 83 playoff spots. Those spots were filled by the same 23 quarterbacks.
108 playoff spots. 77% of those spots taken by the same 23 quarterbacks.
Here is the list. (The number reflects how many times the quarterback made the playoffs since 2000.)
- Steve McNair – 4
- Kerry Collins – 3
- Rich Gannon – 3
- Jay Fiedler – 2
- Daunte Culpepper – 2
- Donovan McNabb – 7
- Peyton Manning – 8
- Kurt Warner – 3
- Brett Favre – 5
- Jeff Garcia – 3
- Tom Brady – 6
- Brad Johnson – 2
- Michael Vick – 2
- Chad Pennington – 4
- Marc Bulger – 2
- Jake Delhomme – 3
- Jake Plummer – 3
- Matt Hasselbeck – 6
- Ben Roethlisberger – 4
- Drew Brees – 2
- Eli Manning – 4
- Philip Rivers – 3
- Tony Romo – 2
I decided to apply the "Quinn Standard" to see how each of those quarterbacks did after their first 6 career starts.
The bad news first: Quinn is near the bottom of the list.
- Kurt Warner – 131.5
- Chad Pennington – 110.2
- Ben Roethlisberger – 108.9
- Tony Romo – 105.3
- Marc Bulger – 101.4
- Daunte Culpepper – 98.3
- Philip Rivers – 96.3
- Steve McNair – 96
- Brad Johnson – 93.4
- Tom Brady – 91.4
- Rich Gannon – 84.6
- Brett Favre – 82.6
- Jay Fiedler – 82.6
- Michael Vick – 80.1
- Drew Brees – 79.9
- Jeff Garcia – 73.5
- Jake Plummer – 73.2
- Kerry Collins – 67.3
- Matt Hasselbeck – 66
- Donovan McNabb – 65.3
- Brady Quinn – 64.5
- Jake Delhomme – 63.5
- Peyton Manning – 55.7
- Eli Manning – 47.5
Now let's apply the Quinn Standard. Any QB rating below 70 is failing, so let's assume the players in the Miserable 60s Club were benched after 6 games.
That list (including Flacco):
- Joe Flacco – 1 playoff appearance (rookie year)
- Kerry Collins – 3 playoff appearances
- Matt Hasselbeck – 6 playoff appearances
- Donovan McNabb – 7 playoff appearances
- Jake Delhomme – 3 playoff appearances
- Peyton Manning – 8 playoff appearances
- Eli Manning – 4 playoff appearances
Those 7 players have a combined 32 playoff appearances (out of 108.) That's 30%. You would have benched 30% of the playoff quarterbacks in this decade, including two Super Bowl winners. And you would have been wrong about Peyton Manning. After 6 starts, his QB rating was 55.7. His career rating: best on the list at 95.1.
My point is not that Quinn will be the quarterback who takes the Browns to the playoffs multiple times (or even once.) I wasn't thrilled when they drafted him, and he hasn't demonstrated much to be enthusiastic about. But I doubt that Peyton Manning looked good en route to that 55.7, and I know Eli Manning looked awful while attaining his 47.5 rating.
The 2009 season is meaningless from a win/loss standpoint. So why not play Quinn, remove the tight leash from his neck, and see what we have after 16 games? Maybe we'll discover that he isn't any better than what we've seen – but at least we'll know.
Do we need to learn more about Anderson? Are we serious about building a solid foundation, or are we playing week to week?
If we're building for the future, I'd love to know what the blueprint looks like. Coach Mangini… any clues? Please? I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt.
Why are you making it so hard?

How can I join my leftover pieces of quilt batting to use in a quilt?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
How can I join my leftover pieces of quilt batting to use in a quilt?
I just butt the edges together and use a zig-zag stitch to secure them. Try not to overlap them or it will make a bump in your quilt.
I do it all the time. I make use of most of my batting. You can zigzag them or do a ladder stitch by hand. Just butt them together. If the edges are not straight lines, use your rotary cutter on the edges to make them match.
Make your edges straight, and if you have an edge joining/SID foot, now is the perfect time to use it :D Place the batting on either side of the blade and zig zag the pieces together :D:D:D
I second MamaBear61, but there is new product (yes ANOTHER new product) out now that is a fabric tape that you can use to hold 2 pieces together.
Check out this...I saw it in my new Connecting Threads catalog....for joining batting....sounds wonderful!!!!
I butt the edges and sew together with a serpentine stitch on my Bernina rather than a zigzag. Doing it with ease on many, many of these quilts for soldiers in Afghanistan.
Jan in VA
Great idea! Now I have a good reason to get a SID foot. I don't do a whole lot of SID, so it didn't seem worth it until now. Thanks for the tip! :)Originally Posted by amma
This is an excellent idea, I usually hand sew the edges together but this beats the hand work.Originally Posted by Lockeb
Even easier and cheaper: Get some lightweight iron-on interfacing. Cut it into 2-3" strips. Put the edges of the batting together, and iron it together. Sooo much easier than trying to keep things straight under the sewing machine.

Man arrested after child custody dispute in Jefferson City
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - A child custody dispute led to a man's arrest in Jefferson City Sunday night. According to the Jefferson City police department, the dispute happened when Rufus Williams, Jr. refused to return his 18-month-old son to the child's mother.
The mother had dropped the child off with Williams, but when he later told her he wasn't giving the child back, a dispute began. At one point during the argument, the mother said Williams pointed a gun at her, so she left and called police.
Officers later arrested Williams, for unlawful use of a weapon, domestic violence and being a felon in possession of a gun, though no gun was ever found. The child was returned to his mother unharmed.

The search for Claudia Lawrence continues. Pat Ashworth talks to her father
FOR ONE of the worst of reasons, Peter Lawrence has one of the ten best-known faces in England at the moment. It is not something he would have wished upon himself, but since his 35-year-old daughter, Claudia, went missing more than five weeks ago, he has maintained a high profile in the hope that somebody, somewhere, has a fragment of information that might link to her disappearance.
It could even be members of General Synod, scattered as they are throughout the country. Claudia Lawrence is a chef at the Roger Kirk Centre at the University of York. The Archbishop of York remembers being served by her at one of the July sessions that annually take place on the campus. Others may make connections when they catch sight of one of the MISSING posters in circulation, see a press conference on television, or read another news item.
For Mr Lawrence, who is a steward and regular member of the congregation at York Minster, every avenue is there to try. We met at York railway station at the end of last week, before he travelled to London in readiness for an appearance on ITV's This Morning the following day. With him was Martin Dales, a lifelong family friend and a Synod member, who is using his experience as a public-relations consultant to act as Mr Lawrence's spokesman and media adviser.
Nothing has been heard of Claudia Lawrence since the evening of Wednesday 17 March, when she last phoned parents and friends in a completely normal way on her mobile. The police, who mounted a huge search operation and continue to look for leads, believe she could have disappeared while walking the two miles to work early on Thursday, or on the Wednesday evening itself. All agree that her disappearance is totally out of character.
Mr Lawrence, a solicitor, has undertaken to pursue the quest for information on behalf of the Lawrence family. His former wife, Joan, is a member of the congregation at St Mary's Priory Church at Old Malton. Both are being supported daily by Canon John Manchester at Old Malton, who has known Claudia since she was a baby, and prepared her for confirmation.
Mr Lawrence's hand shakes as he takes a drink of water. "It's just a matter of getting the idea of hope out there. However we do it, we've got to keep hoping that somewhere out there someone will have seen Claudia, or seen something happening."
The public profile is costly, even for someone who is used to speaking in public and who used to do a lot of advocacy. His Christian profile, and the news that the York Minster community was praying for the family, brought a savage attack last week from the Labour councillor of the ward in which Claudia lives, Paul Blanchard. Mr Blanchard, a declared atheist, jeered on Facebook: "Like praying is going to achieve anything. Of all the pointless things to do here, praying wins the prize. Time would be better spent out looking for her surely."
Councillor Blanchard went on: "Is God on some kind of sick kickfest where he makes her go missing, sees how many people pray to him, and then decides to intervene based on the number of prayers received?"
Although the furious backlash he received prompted an unreserved apology on the web, the family have received no personal apology. "Councillor Blanchard is obviously a professed atheist and is entitled to his own views, but he is not entitled to express them in relation to Claudia," Mr Lawrence says.
Dr Sentamu preached his Easter sermon in York Minster on the theme: "Sorrow turned into joy and fear into hope". Quoting Councillor Blanchard, he pledged to continue to pray. And to search: he has included the Bishopthorpe Palace office number on the list of contact numbers for people with information. The Muslim community in the area is praying for Claudia at Friday prayers — even, says Mr Dales in gratitude, the people who run his local Indian restaurant.
The Minster congregation has been hugely supportive, Mr Lawrence says. "Some people don't know what to say; some people find it difficult. Some say, 'We continue to think about you'; some say, 'We'll stay hopeful'; others say, 'We'll pray for you'." What he can't cope with, he says, is someone flinging their arms round him and becoming emotional.
He describes part of his brain as totally numb, which is why he can tolerate looking at his daughter's picture on the posters, or hearing her spoken of by strangers. The numbing followed the immediate shock of Claudia's disappearance, when the thought was: "She's around somewhere, and in 24 hours will turn up. Two or three days later, when they've finished the immediate search of the area, you realise that's not going to happen. It's very difficult to keep faith."
Mr Lawrence and Mr Dales are grateful that the media have kept attending the weekly press conferences and are keeping the story alive, even though some weeks there is little new to report. They endured four hours of agonising waiting last week, when the police got in touch to say that a body had been fished out of the Ouse at Bishopthorpe.
It was not Claudia. The first thing the two men did was to extend their sympathies to the family of the dead woman. "All the time there is no news, there is hope for the family," Mr Dales says.
"We plan things, and hope we're not going to have to do them," Mr Lawrence says. A reflective piece to camera at Mr Dales's home on Good Friday showed him surrounded by close friends, and included an interview with Canon Manchester. It was another chance to put out the message: "Someone out there knows where Claudia is, and we hope that, whoever they are, they will search their conscience and inform either the police or Crimestoppers."
Mr Lawrence is appealing for Facebook users, 25,500 of whom have responded on various sites, to recognise that, if snippets of information are going to be of any use, they must be given directly to the police or to Crimestoppers. Most people who have contributed to the Facebook page go by a username, making it impossible for anything to be followed up.
Meanwhile, Mr Lawrence is trying to keep working, eating, sleeping, and worshipping, although any pretence at normal life is impossible. "That's where we live at the moment, or exist, or whatever. Something will happen," he says. "I hope we can ring you up before next Friday and say you don't need to publish this article."

Re-imaging the CSC-SSM
- Cisco Employee,
This guide steps through the basics of re-imaging the Cisco ASA Content Security and Control (CSC) Security Services Module with the latest image file. This process takes roughly 30 minutes to complete (not including the downloading of the upgrade files from cisco.com) and it leaves the CSC module with a fresh installation of code.
Different upgrade methods
There are two types of upgrade files available for the CSC module: BIN files and PKG files.
BIN files - BIN files are used to re-image the module. The files include the full installation of code present on the module. The BIN files will bring the module to a certain maintenance version such as 6.3.1172.0 or 6.6.1125.0.
PKG files - PKG files contain incremental bug fixes beyond the main release version available in BIN files. For example the csc6.3.1172.4.pkg will bring the module from 6.3.1172.0 up to 6.3.1172.4. PKG files contain just bug fixes and minor changes. You should read the PKG release notes to determine what is the minimum version of code the PKG can be installed on. Some package upgrades have very specific versions that must be installed prior to upgrade, the realease notes will outline that in detail:
This process will bring the CSC module down during the re-image process. If you have your CSC scanning policy configured with 'fail-close'. The traffic matching that policy will be blocked until the re-image process is completed and the module is back on-line. More information about the difference between 'fail-close' and its opposite, 'fail-open', can be found here:
Diverting Traffic to the CSC SSM
Step 1: Download the latest CSC Image File
- Go to http://tools.cisco.com/squish/44211
- On this page download the correct BIN file and optional PKG files. In this case "csc6.6.1125.0.bin"
- Once the download completes proceed to Step 2: Setting up a TFTP Server
Step 2: Setting up a TFTP Server
NOTE: If you already have a TFTP server available skip this step.
- If you do not have a TFTP server, download a free version from the Internet.
- For this example we reccomend TFTPD32, available at http://tftpd32.jounin.net/
- Download and extract TFTPD32 to a folder on your hard-drive. For this example we will use c:\tftp.
- Please the CSC image file, csc6.6.1125.0.bin, in this folder as well. (image below shows old image files, but you get the idea)
- Start the TFTP Server (tftpd32.exe) and note the IP address it binds to. In this example it is 192.168.1.50.
Step 3: Backing-up the current CSC configuration and Licenses
- Log into the CSC module by going to https://CSC-module-IP:8443
- On the left select "Administration" -> "Configuration Backup"
- Proceed to Export the config.tgz file and save it to your Computer
- Click on "Administration" -> "Product License" can copy down the two Activation codes (PX-...)
Step 4: Re-imaging the CSC module
- Log into ASA's command line by Telnet or SSH
- Enter 'enable' mode
- Enter the command hw-module module 1 recover config to begin the re-imaging setup.
- It will ask for the following info (filled in for this example)
- Please note that the "Port IP Address" value is the ip address of the CSC module itself:
ciscoasa(config)# hw-module module 1 recover config
Image URL [tftp://0.0.0.0/]: tftp://192.168.1.50/csc6.6.1125.0.bin
Port IP Address [0.0.0.0]: 192.168.1.250
Gateway IP Address [0.0.0.0]:
NOTE: Leave the gateway as 0.0.0.0 if the TFTP and CSC port are on the same Layer-3 subnet. If they are on different subnets, set the gateway to the next-hop router between the subnets.
- When you are prepared to start the re-image process, enter the command hw-module module 1 recover boot:
ciscoasa(config)# hw-module module 1 recover boot
The module in slot 1 will be recovered. This may
erase all configuration and all data on that device and
attempt to download a new image for it.
Recover module in slot 1? [confirm]
Recover issued for module in slot 1
- Issue the command debug module in order to watch the re-image progress:
Slot-1 000> Platform SSM-CSC20
Slot-1 001> GigabitEthernet0/0
Slot-1 002> Link is UP
Slot-1 003> MAC Address: 000b.fcf8.0134
Slot-1 004> ROMMON Variable Settings:
Slot-1 005> ADDRESS=192.168.1.250
Slot-1 006> SERVER=192.168.1.50
Slot-1 007> GATEWAY=0.0.0.0
Slot-1 008> PORT=GigabitEthernet0/0
Slot-1 009> VLAN=untagged
Slot-1 010> IMAGE= csc6.6.1125.0.bin
Slot-1 011> CONFIG=
Slot-1 012> tftp [email protected]
Slot-1 013> !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Slot-1 014> !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- The process will take roughly 10 minutes to complete. When the re-image is done, the following debug lines will be shown. If you see Launching BootLoader... then it is just about finished:
Slot-1 204>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Slot-1 205> Received 57985402 bytes
Slot-1 206> Launching TFTP Image...
Slot-1 207> Cisco Systems ROMMON Version (1.0(8)1) #0: Thu Jan 20 20:28:49 PST 2005

Slot-1 209> GigabitEthernet0/0
Slot-1 210> Link is UP
Slot-1 211> MAC Address: 000b.fcf8.0134
Slot-1 212> Launching BootLoader...
Step 5: Re-initializing the CSC module
- Session into the module with the command 'session 1' on the ASA.
- Use the username/password combination of 'cisco' and 'cisco'
- You will be asked to change the password, follow that prompt.
- The wizard will walk you through prompts to re-configure the base settings of the CSC module such as network settings, domain names, license codes.
- After this process is done, it will instruct you to log into the CSC module via the Web GUI.
Step 6: Restoring CSC configuration
- Log into the CSC module by going to https://CSC-module-IP:8443
- On the left select "Administration" -> "Configuration Backup" and re-import the configuration file

Electrical gurus?
I'm having trouble with getting all my rear lights working properly. tail lights both work, brake lights both work, 4 way flashers and brake lights work but my right turn signal won't flash. now the turn signal uses the same circuit as the brake and 4 ways right? Also the indicator light in the speedo flashes for the right turn when I turn it on but the rear light does not. Now I do know that the switch for the right turn does not latch on (I have to hold it up) Any ideas? I do have another column that the switch latches on but I'm not sure it's a direct swap as I took it out of a 84 and mine is a 79 Thanks in advance. John
Id check the bulb first and maybe swap it with the left one if it works correctly. Or you can test it with a meter and see if it flashes at the contact points on the light itself, but you will need someone to hold the lever up for you.
I've changed the flasher and the bulb now still the same. i guess I'll have to look at changing the switch, but the indicator in the speedo flashes. John

A United Airlines pilot who helped crash land a crippled DC-10 in Sioux City, Iowa and in the process saved many lives has died of cancer.
69 year-old Denny Fitch was a passenger aboard United Airlines Flight 232 flying from Denver to Chicago on July 19th, 1989 when the aircraft lost hydraulic power.
Fitch was a United DC-10 training captain and came to the cockpit to assist the pilots in trying to the get plane on the ground safely.
'The United pilot and DC-10 instructor pulled every aeronautical trick out of the book to help the pilots get the aircraft on the ground, the (Arlington Heights, Ill.) Daily Herald reported Wednesday. The crash killed 111 people but 184 survived.'
United pilot Mike Hamilton said the landing was a legend in the aviation world.
"It became a case study in how a crew could work together in an emergency," Hamilton said.
"He had survivor's guilt after the crash because people died," his wife Rosa said. "It haunted him that he didn't save everyone."
Fitch received a commendation by then President George H.W. Bush.

One word: HERO. RIP :(

Cliopatria Welcomes Chris Bray ...
In April 1999, Bray joined the United States Army. While in service at Fort Benning, Georgia, he began taking college classes at night. When his tour of duty was up in August 2001 [nb!], Chris entered Pitzer College in Claremont, California. He had been planning a return to journalism, but his history professors in the Claremont Colleges, Stuart McConnell, Jonathan Petropoulos, Rita Roberts, and Andre Wakefield, saw a historian in the making. His senior thesis was about cases heard by the Florida Supreme Court on armed black self-defense in the late 19th and early 20th century. Graduating with honors from Pitzer, Chris entered the graduate program in history at UCLA.
I first encountered Chris Bray at his group blog, Histori-blogography, but I've also read his articles and reviews at HistoryNewsNetwork, the LA Times op-ed page, Reason, and the Washington Post's Book World. At UCLA, Bray has been working with Joan Waugh. In September 2005, he was to present his dissertation proposal on late 19th century American foreign policy, economic history, and race. But Chris has remained in the Individual Ready Reserve and is known to be one of these guys. On Friday, 6 May, he was ordered to report for duty. Chris will marry his girlfriend of over three years, screenwriter Ann Cherkis, on 20 May and will report for duty on 5 June, with the expectation of being sent to Iraq. We look forward to his posts over the subsequent 545 days and to his release on 1 December 2006. He hopes to present that dissertation proposal in January 2007. We're very proud to have Chris join us at Cliopatria.

Chris Bray - 5/11/2005
Thanks, and I'm looking forward to getting started. Although things are a little hectic this week, and my warm thank-you to the United States Army for that generous 29-day warning...
Jonathan Dresner - 5/11/2005
until a new Cliopatriarch posts their own first post before I issue my official welcome, but in this case I think Chris might be a bit too busy for a little while.
In addition to everything else he does, blog and academically, Chris is one of the staunchest defenders of historical realism against fanciful and distorted revisionism in the comments sections of Eric Muller's blog, where fanciful distorters often run amok. In addition to the weight of evidence and logic, Chris has a rapier-tongued ability to pierce to the heart of a matter, making further comment by either side irrelevant. I'm glad he's joining us!

15 important nanny rules
15 Rules all Nannies Should Know.Here is a list of general ground rules we think all nannies should know. The golden rule is don't assume they know this. As a parent, it is worth taking a few minutes and running through the ground rules that are important to you, your family and that fit into your value system.
- Nannies should never drink alcohol or smoke at the employer's home or in the presence of children at any time.
- Nannies should never smack a child.
- Nannies should never help themselves to household goods without asking the employer first.
- Nannies should not use TV as a source of entertainment during any time of the day unless the parents stipulate otherwise.
- Nannies should never give the child any medicine without informing the parents first.
- If a nanny wakes up feeling sick and is unable to come to work, a nanny should call at least an hour before she would normally start work to inform her employer so the employer can make a backup plan for the day.
- If she is late for work she should inform her employer before or on the hour she should be starting work and not later.
- A nanny should never feed a weaning baby anything other than what the mother has prescribed.
- A nanny should always wash her hands as soon as she walks through the door and before she picks up the baby.
- A nanny must always wear gloves when blood is present –either a wound on her hand or blood on the child.
- A nanny should always inform the parents where she is, should she leave the house with the child i.e. in the form of a note or call if she is going for a walk, visiting a neighbour or going to a park.
- Should a child fall ill, have a fever, be vomiting or have diarreah, the nanny should inform the parents immediately.
- A nanny should never leave a child alone around water or alone in the house even for a few minutes i.e. to hang up the washing.
- A nanny should never alter a child's appearance ie cut a child's hair or a baby nails without asking the mom first.
- A nanny should never go outside with the child – i.e. garden or park without sunscreen, hat and liquids (juice, water, milk) especially in summer.

About Us
Our Mission
At FNB our mission is why we exist. It's what gets us excited to come to work every day. It's short and simple, but don't be mistaken: it's powerful. So what's our mission? Improving lives through community banking.
Our Vision
First National Bank is a community partner that empowers financial success to improve the lives of our employees, customers, shareholders and communities.
Our History
In the fall of 1918, a small group of people believed that it would be beneficial to the community of Pandora to look to the future and that a new bank be formed. First National Bank was chartered in 1919. Thirty people consented to be stockholders and seven were chosen to serve as members of the Board of Directors. The original reasoning concerning successful banking were as follows:
- A good bank must be owned and operated largely by people of the community themselves.
- A good and successful bank can be organized only where there are strong and constant economic resources.
- That the success of a rural bank can only be assured by community loyalty, sustained by a high-grade citizenship, supported by morals and religion.
Over 95 years have passed and The First National Bank of Pandora still prides itself on these original banking successes. Since then, the bank has gone through many stages of development, including several expansions and remodeling to the main office in Pandora and the opening of branches in Bluffton, Findlay and Ottawa. The bank continues to maintain a special emphasis on serving small businesses and working with farmers.
The large customer base in the Bluffton area and our commitment to customer service made it very clear that a Bluffton branch was necessary, and one was opened in 1990. The bank opened a branch on the east side of Findlay, just two blocks west of the Findlay Village Mall, in 2001. This provided larger exposure for the growing bank. In 2012, First National opened an office on the west side of Findlay, on State Route 224, just west of I-75. Our newest office, located in Ottawa, was opened in May of 2014.
Our success is all due to the faith and commitment of its customers, employees, board of directors, and officers. The bank has always focused on the main goal of providing financial solutions to the communities that it serves. Not only is there an emphasis on financial solutions, but employees at First National Bank are also very active in community activities and organizations, spending their own time to support others. This commitment will allow the bank many more successful years as an independently owned bank.
First National Bank is a member of the Ohio Bankers League (OBL) and the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA).

2012 Harley-Davidson Softtail Slim
In an effort to shake up its classic line of American-made cruisers, Harley-Davidson has unfortunately made some downright ugly factory customs in the past few years. The new Softtail Slim however is a stunning bike. It sports the 103 C.I. big twin motor and the classic soft-tail that looks like a hardtail rear end and has been stripped of all the BS that turned dentists and lawyers into wild hogs. No chrome, no cases, no plastic, just a barebones, badass Softtail bobber that won't get you mistaken for an off-duty exec just yet.

New Oyster Cult
"What's the best performance you've seen in the last five years?" asked Michelle Heffner Hayes of her creative colleagues at a national conference of arts presenters. The executive director of the Cultural Affairs Department at Miami-Dade Community College was attempting to curate the Cultura del Lobo Performance Series for 2002-2003 -- which has been offering the community an eclectic array of theater, music, and dance for the past twelve years -- and just hadn't found what she was looking for. She knew one thing, though: "We wanted something beautiful and surreal, exquisite and challenging." Hence the tough query at the conference. Without hesitating, Joan Finkelstein of New York City's prestigious 92nd Street Y said, "Inbal Pinto from Israel." A couple of years, a war, and miles of red tape later, the modern dance troupe, which takes its exotic-sounding name from its 34-year-old female choreographer, is set to perform its award-winning piece Oyster for South Florida audiences this weekend.
Watching a performance of Oyster, choreographed by Pinto and directed by Avshalom Pollak, certainly leaves the audience asking its own questions: "Was that modern dance, ballet, mime, physical theater, gymnastics, or acrobatics?" The answer on all accounts may be an unequivocal "Yes!" The hour-long work has been described as falling somewhere between "a wild dream, a circus sideshow, and a Cubist painting." Attired in crazy costumes, dancers swing from bungee cords; jewelry-box ballerinas offer a pas de deux on a leash; two male dancers perform within an oversized coat on wheels; and a trio executes a mind-boggling pas de trois (including back bends) with their arms bound at their sides. What is so amazing about this company of six dancers and four actors is its technical excellence, which while astounding audiences, does nothing to overshadow the aesthetics of the performance. "They're really masterful technicians, who have managed to harness a vision that is unforgettably vivid and otherworldly," affirms Hayes.
Many have asked her if the Israeli troupe's artistic work is political. "What's interesting about this spectacle is that although the aesthetic is so surreal and skewed, the craft is extremely precise and controlled," Hayes notes. "When you come from a place where reality is so completely off the scale from anything one could consider normal, you have to find an anchor. Inbal Pinto seems to find that in technical precision." That sounds like a no to us. But perhaps the troupe's most political statement came just recently. "When the war began, we called to see if they still felt comfortable coming to the U.S.," explains Hayes. "They were more committed than ever. They said they wanted to perform for an audience that wasn't wearing gas masks."
Inbal Pinto dance troupe performs Oyster as part of M-DCC's Cultura del Lobo Performance Series at 8:00 p.m. Friday, May 2, at Gusman Center for the Performing Arts, 174 E Flagler St. Tickets range from $17 to $37. Call 305-237-3010 or 305-372-0925.

I can barely run half of a 5K these days. I need to sign myself up for a race to get motivated. Otherwise I'm all like, "it's fine if I walk for half of my run."
Mathilda is not the best at sharing and it's pretty embarrassing when we're at the library and she's hanging onto a raggedy old puppet for dear life.
I need to get better at time management. A LOT better.
Plumbing issues are getting so old. Not being able to run the dishwasher and the washing machine at the same time for fear of flooding the basement is seriously inconvenient.
I am perpetually overwhelmed and behind schedule.
Last night I fell asleep before Bethany and Connor went to bed. Then I woke up and tried valiantly to read for a couple hours, but kept falling asleep every couple paragraphs. Finally I gave up.
We started to dismantle my so-called work area in the family room. So-called because really it is just a place where everyone throws their crap and where we hurriedly stash all of our junk mail and miscellaneous papers that we haven't yet gone through when we're having company. I won't miss it and can't wait until that corner of the room is transformed into something more functional.
On the flip side, I'm ticked that we can't seem to find anywhere in this house where I can have some space to myself without everyone else encroaching. Sometimes it's hard to shed my roots as an only child.
My muscles are sore today from yesterday's workout, and I love when that happens.
I have little faith that my kids will all be able to locate their bathing suits when it's time to start packing for our weekend trip to Castaway Bay.
What are you saying So What! to this week?

The New York State Psychiatric Institute's 1929 building had not undergone any significant changes and had grown its facility to the point where it had to lease space for researchers. STV designed the engineering systems for a new $84 million replacement building, which was constructed on a prominent site on Riverside Drive in Manhattan. The award-winning 418,000-sf building contains facilities for research, inpatient and outpatient care, education and administration. About one-third of the building is dedicated to laboratories. The laboratory portion of the building is primarily occupied by the departments of neuropathology, neuroscience, the Human Genome Project and comparative medicine. STV designed the laboratories and all mechanical and electrical support systems to be adaptable for future research needs at minimum cost and disruption. The firm's use of a concrete flat plate structural system provides space above the ceiling for future installation of ducts and other utilities, an important consideration in health care facilities.

C.O. LLama Association joins holiday parades
The Central Oregon Llama Association (COLA) and its members once again are showing their community spirit by joining several local area holiday parades this season.
The COLA organization brings people and llamas together, and participating in local community events is just one of the many means this friendly organization supports the economy, education, and community in Central Oregon.
The COLA is an organization of llama owners and llama lovers who enjoy showing, breeding, hiking and packing with their llamas.
Some members use the fiber from their animals to spin, knit and weave and attend local area and national fiber shows, events and competitions.
Many COLA members participate in community activities, schedule farm visits for children, special needs and charity organizations, and join parades with their llamas.
This year, members of the COLA will be demonstrating the loving nature of llamas by walking in local area holiday parades, including two scheduled parade events with this season:
- Sisters "Silver Bells: Silver Screen – A Movie Filled Christmas" on November 30 at 2PM, and,
- Bend "Run, Run, Rudolf" Parade on December 7 at 12 noon.
Meet and greet the llamas and owners before and after the parade—maybe take a holiday photo with the festively decorated llamas? (And kids…we'll be handing out holiday sweets and treats along the parade route.)
There are more than 15 outfitters, ranches and llama owners on the High Desert, home to more than 500 llamas.
The COLA members love to share the joys of owning llamas with others. Contact one of us today via the website links provided at www.centraloregonllamas.net to learn more about llamas, schedule a llama walk/visit, get information about wilderness hikes, and more.

Roswell to Lordsberg, NM
... there was a strange white stripe across the horizon. Was it a cloud or what?? There were mountains behind the white stripe. The countryside was fantastic. More pictures. The temperature was rising as I descended into the valley and that white stripe was the horizon. And there it was, the answer. White Sands National Monument and White Sands missile range. Ziggy loved it. We are pointed west and it's 30 miles to the missile range and the mountains ahead.
... Monday morning we arrived in Tucson ahead of schedule, and had plenty of time to have a leisurely breakfast at a really nice cafe called Maynard's market and kitchen, attached to the amtrak station (clearly the space was historically part of the amtrak station back when it was served by more than 6 trains total each week) while waiting for enterprise to pick us up and assign us our rental car for the week (wow that was quite a run on sentence, huh). ...

... We stopped at Pilot for fuel - $121.78 at $3.799/gal. After driving 330 miles, we finally reached Gila Bend. We stayed at Augie's Quail Trail RV Park for $28.00/night. This is where the fun begins. Well, we got there around 1:00 pm with the time change. As the day continued, it got hotter and hotter - 108 degrees by the time it reached 5:00 pm.

Now that my eyes are not what they used to be, I have problems with practice. I need my cheaters to deal with the sights, but that makes the bulls eye a blurr, at best. There was a day when I was out of the X ring, I knew it and where the round was going. Now all I have is a sense that a bad round went down range; the truth appears upon inspection of the target. Have any of you old timers experienced this and have a remedy?

Yup. Best thing is more practice. Muscle memory is your friend. Course, the cold gets to ya more and the dark is darker but hey shooting is still fun.
Try getting real weak readers. I need 2.25 to read but 1.5 readers make things work for practice.
Point shooting eliminates the need for eyes in their sixth decade to rely on the sights...
Find some training, it's what this 63 year old (in 3 weeks) did.

As much as I hate to confess, Bifocals are great. Proper correction for short distance, and longer distance, less or no correction.

Three score and eleven here. For my carry, a Kahr CW9, I've added the Crimson Trace laser in a Mitch Rosen fine leather holster on my belt. Works very well.
+1 on the Crimson Trace grips as well as the point shooting practic/training.
Of course, I'm only 40(ish).
+1 on the Crimson Trace-now...for that gravity thing....
"Good decisions come from experience;
experience comes from bad decisions"
I've used Crimson trace laser grips, bifocals, reading glasses (not at the same time ). All help, but none give me the eyes I had when I was 20 . Oh well. Just have to make do.
I ware trifocals and still manage to fit what I aim at.
Learn to shoot smarter and enjoy it more.
I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness,
nor the arrow for its swiftness,
nor the warrior for his glory.
I love only that which they defend.

What does the Ophthalmologist diagnose? That's tends a difference on the "solution". For instance, I had cataracts, and had two variable focal length replacement lenses popped in. That helped me, but I had decent vision before.
The CT is a solution, as is good point shooting, and there are other solutions as well.
I'd see what the expert says.That's funny!my washboard tummy wouldn't look like a washtub

I got a LaserLyte rear sight laser and it makes things much easier on the aging eyes...
It comes with aging. Aches, pains, vision not like it used to be, but as bad as it all is, the alternative really sucks!
To be honest I don't worry about the X ring anymore. As long as I'm placing my rounds in the 4-5 ring, that's all I'm worried about. Now if I was shooting pompetition, that would be different. For SD, my shot placement is where it needs to be.

StringCases kills Kernel
I often read a file into a string and use StringCases to extract
relevant information. However, if the extracted part is too large, the
kernel is killed. This happens in version 5 and 6. here is a simple
s= StringJoin[Table["0123456789", {10^5}]];
StringCases[s, RegularExpression["(0123456789)+"] ];
the same also happens when we use a StringPattern:
StringCases[s3, "0123456789" ..];

New page

This page is just a start.

 When using -threaded, never use the main thread to do the real work. Communication between the main thread and other forkIO'd threads is much much slower than between two forkIO'd threads, because the main thread is a "bound thread" (i.e. it has an OS thread to itself). This is perhaps the main reason that turning on -threaded will make the version of threadring above go much slower.

text: Bloomberg may not have a big D after his name but he is a liberal/progressive. He seems to share Obama's Socialist tendencies too. We see here the Liberal/Progressive/Socialist mantra of "Never let a crisis go to waste". It is disgusting that this rich boob rides on the back of this dead kid, but those type would ride on the backs of their own dead mothers if it will advance their agenda. New York City has been dragged down the Progressive "bunny hole" since Rudy left office. I see that NYC took away the term limits for Mayor and it is not serving them well. This guy, who hasn't ever married and fathered kids of his own, takes pleasure in trying to tell US how to raise and keep protected OUR children. He has the best security his money and the money of the people of NYC can buy, so to heck with the rest of us. He is trying to "use" this kid when the case has not ever been proved. Shame on him and shame on the people of NYC for their stupidity.

[ Movie Page: Absence (2013) ]
Absence (2013)
Absence is one of those pregnancy abduction movies but with a horrific twist. Not sure how to call this one but I bet it will be a serious hit or miss with viewers. Synopsis: Doctors are baffled when an expectant mother wakes to find her nearly-to-term pregnancy apparently disappear overnight. Police investigate the situation as a missing child, and only her husband and brother trust her version of events. Director: Jimmy Loweree Writers: Jake Moreno (screenplay), Jimmy Loweree (screenplay) Stars: Erin Way, Eric Matheny, Ryan Smale

The corner of Mannerheimintie and Kalevankatu has got a new fresh look! The new stylish restaurant Kiila Food & Bar that opened on the 2nd of March flaunts opposite of Stockmann's department store and the famous sculpture of the Three Smiths. There have been restaurants before on the premises but the space has never before felt so spacious!
The name Kiila stands for the English word wedge which has a variety of meanings, e.g. viewing or focus point.
The ample view upon Mannerheimintie, which has been created by raising the window level, has proven many times before to add popularity to food and drink places, so one can gladly say that the place has got its needed renewal. This perspective to the city isn't found anywhere else.
Subsequent to the renewal, the bar has become the center of the restaurant and gives a sense of life to the space with its easy-going bartenders.
The beautiful lamps, lanterns and candlesticks add artistry and design to the space, and the visitor can't be without noticing the restaurateur's sense of visuality which is founded on her theatrical background. The restaurant is dominated by a harmonic color scheme: black, white and natural wooden colors. Silver and bronze function as highlight colors. The fun retro chairs in front of the open kitchen bring some antiquity to the otherwise modern restaurant.
The restaurant has a life on a busy schedule like the city itself, and pulsates from morning to late night. During weekdays it offers breakfast, in the weekend brunch, and besides these there is always lunch and dinner available. The tables next to the entrance are designed for by passers; there one can enjoy a cup of coffee while working or just hang out in the continuum of one's living room.
The worldly menu ranges, according to the head chef, from Stockholm to San Francisco. A refreshing novelty in town are the delicious crab cakes with mango salad. The tasty sweet potato fries are good even without any side dish or sauce. Vegetarians have also been taken into consideration in a versatile way while planning the menu.
Kiila offers a shorter menu during lunchtime where one finds chicken wings, salads, hamburgers and sushi for 7-14,80€. The dinner menu is longer and ranges from blackened salmon to Black Angus sirloin beef. Innovative taste combinations can be found in all dishes. The price range for the main courses is 18-27,50€.
