Find the Answer
After stumbling upon this situation I informed the owner of the property about this broken threaded joint between an underground raceway and the coupling supplying this public street light. I also notified the fire department and even called the local citizen's hot line. However, my pleas for help continue to fall on deaf ears.
My concern here is the lack of a threaded connection. Without one, the metal raceway will not serve as an equipment grounding conductor. Connections using threaded couplings or threaded hubs on enclosures must be made up wrench tight with fittings that are made for this type of installation. Why? An approved connection will prevent sparking when fault current flows through the conduit system.
Check out the continuity requirements of 310.10.

How about 55-65 or 65-70 mph time?
We all know that the CRD has excellent reviews, specially the low RPM torque. But how about during the essential passing speed on the highway? Specially, when you have to pass someone around the speed limits?
I am not a horsepower vs torque expert, but the following comment from Motor Trend's review of the VW Touareg picked my mind:
"There's a grin-inducing amount of shove down low and then the engine pull levels off dramatically the higher the rpms go. Having a little extra hp is nice for passing situations on interstates with higher speed limits."

Re: How about 55-65 or 65-70 mph time?
Good question. I thought some of the other reviews mentioned great mid-range passing power, I think they mentioned in the 40-60mph range. I'll try to find article but the guys overseas driving them now will know best.
Re: How about 55-65 or 65-70 mph time?
I've got mine chipped and the midrange is excellent, there's no problem passing and it keeps pulling quite hard past 90, not that I'd go those speeds. The standard power pulls ok but the performance box gives it a lot better mid range.
Re: How about 55-65 or 65-70 mph time?
That's not with the 8 speed right? I don't think you UK/EU kids have your 14's on the lots yet, but want to make sure.
I'm in Aus, I've got a 2011 WK2 Laredo CRD, 5 speed. 60mi is 2000 rpm, max torque comes in @ 2500rpm, at 60mi put your foot down and feel it pull hard past 100mi, overtaking is a breeze, just watch out for those radar guns because your going to find your self racking up the fines
Re: How about 55-65 or 65-70 mph time?
Your right mate we don't have the 14 over here yet but the even with the 5 speed its quick, I can imagine the 8 speed would be even better.
Re: How about 55-65 or 65-70 mph time?
I have not had her out on the highway since installing the blue spark, I think it will be improved, as the engine seems much more willing to rev with the Bluespark in.
I have taken the Bluespark out as I'm having some flash updates done by dealer, and the GC was definitely less responsive with out it
Re: How about 55-65 or 65-70 mph time?
Interesting reading on Bluespark. I wonder whether the company will be able to offer the same system to us here in the U.S.

Chelsea Gallery Expands Into Bushwick
A major Chelsea art gallery is set to establish a presence in the rich arts scene emerging in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Luhring Augustine is moving art it doesn't have room to display at its 24th St. Manhattan gallery to a new 12,000 square-foot storage space in Bushwick, and will use 2,000 square feet as an exhibition space.
At the suggestion of several employees living in Bushwick, the gallery's owners bought the warehouse at Knickerbocker St. and Ingram St. in February for $2 million. The gallery had been looking for a new storage location to replace a Long Island City warehouse used for storage and to show clients oversize works.
"We're hoping the neighborhood's hipness will work to our advantage," said the senior director of Luhring Augustine, Natalia Sacasa. "There are a lot of restaurants in the area that are attracting people from Manhattan, so we'll be doing extended hours on Fridays, that sort of thing."
Bushwick is currently home to numerous smaller, artist-run spaces. Some local gallery owners hope that Luhring Augustine's move is a sign that more Manhattan art galleries — and their wealthy patrons — will be crossing the East River and settling in North Brooklyn.
"As an art dealer, my hope is that the larger art buying public will see Chelsea's gamble and take on an air of confidence about Bushwick art," said Sean Alday, director of the 950 Hart Gallery. "Our gallery's mission is to provide a loving and supportive creative environment for our artists. We have shown so many great artists and I hope that blue-chip collectors can take time out of their busy schedule to revel in the unbridled creativity our neighbors and friends."
Ali Ha, owner of the Factory Fresh gallery, agrees. Before moving to Bushwick, she operated a gallery on the Lower East Side, and says that clients she developed there have followed her to Bushwick to patronize her new gallery.
"I think as far as selling art goes, and getting the art world out to see all these great things, the more reasons they have to come to the neighborhood, the more likely it is that they'll come out," said Ali.
While no other Chelsea galleries seem to be following suit and expanding into Bushwick, a number of arts organizations have moved into the neighborhood in the past year. Stephen Truax, an area artist and writer for the BushwickBK online newspaper, pointed out that two non-profits working to promote emerging artists, Momenta Art and Nurture Art, have recently moved into the same building on 56 Bogart Street.
"Young artists are moving to Bushwick and buying real estate because it's affordable, and then developing their own community," said Truax. "As they do that, they naturally pull larger institutions and galleries with them, like Momenta, like Nurture, and like Luhring Augustine."
But not everybody thinks it's a good idea for Bushwick to develop in the direction of art hubs like Chelsea.
"I think having a lot of commercial galleries in Bushwick is not a good thing for the artists of Bushwick," said Paddy Johnson, an arts columnist for L Magazine who blogs at Art Fag City. "If the commercial spaces come, they are going to push the rents up and you're going to end up with another situation where artists are pushed out of their homes."
Luhring Augustine is careful to mention that its intention was not to trailblaze a new commercial art district, but rather to try something new while finding a suitable space to store their art. Senior director Natalia Sacasa said the gallery's focus will remain on the its Chelsea space.
"We're going to make a big effort to bring people out to Bushwick, but we don't know who will come out yet," said Sacasa. "It's been a long time since there's been a broader art world attention paid to the outer boroughs."
The first exhibit planned for Luhring Augustine's Bushwick space will open on November 5, and will feature work from video artist Charles Atlas.

Affa was a planet where droid parts were manufactured. Some components of the protocol droid C-3PO were made on Affa over a century before his creation.[1]
Behind the scenesEdit
Affa was first mentioned in notes George Lucas composed in 1977 when creating a backstory for C-3PO intended for the use of licensees in the Expand Universe, now known as Star Wars Legends, and was where the droid was first built 102 years prior to the Battle of Yavin. It is described as being in the "Third Sector" of the Galactic Empire, in the Outland Regions.[2] It was confirmed to be canon after it was mentioned in Star Wars in 100 Scenes, a 2014 reference book written by Jason Fry.[1]

What We Do
MH-60R Naval Combat Helicopter
The MH-60R "Romeo" was officially welcomed to the Royal Australian Navy's (RAN) fleet in June 2015 during a traditional ceremony commissioning its training Squadron, known as 725 Squadron.
This comes just 18 months after the first Australian MH-60R Romeos were officially delivered by the U.S. Navy to the RAN. The RAN will receive its full complement of 24 MH-60R maritime combat helicopters by 2016.
The MH-60R is the most capable and mature Anti-Submarine (ASW)/Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW) multi-mission helicopter available in the world today. The MH-60R is deployed globally with the U.S. Navy fleet and a growing number of international navies.
Program Milestones
- June 2015: The Lockheed Martin-Sikorsky team delivered the 12th of 24 MH-60R missionized aircraft to the RAN – and all aircraft were delivered ahead of schedule.
- April 2014: Lockheed Martin announced that it had delivered its MH-60R Electronic Warfare Support System (EWSS) to the RAN. The EWSS will provide the RAN with the ability to generate and test unique Australian mission data loads installed on the Australian Romeo fleet. Work on the project began in 2012 and ended in April 2014, with system demonstration and training at the Joint Electronic Warfare Operational Support Unit in Adelaide, South Australia.
- December 2013: The U.S. Navy took delivery of the first mission-ready MH-60R helicopters for transfer to the Royal Australian Navy.
- June 2011: Lockheed Martin and the U.S. Navy responded to the Australian Defence Force's need for a fleet of new-generation, multi-role naval combat helicopters with the MH-60R.
The helicopter serves as the cornerstone of the Navy's Helicopter Concept of Operations, capable of detecting and prosecuting modern submarines in littoral and open ocean scenarios. The Seahawk "Romeo" fleet will operate off the RAN's ANZAC-class frigates and the Hobart-class air warfare destroyers.
The MH-60R, manufactured by Sikorsky Aircraft Corp, and equipped with advanced mission systems and sensors by Lockheed Martin Mission Systems and Training (MST), is capable of detecting and prosecuting modern submarines in littoral and open ocean scenarios.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Remember 2002? There was no war, house prices could never go down, and the Olsen twins had a kids' show. That's when a recovering marketing executive in Orange County opened a Blogspot account, dubbed himself Calpundit, and began posting daily political commentary, often interspersed with his own data-crunching and graphs. He soon drew a following, and within a couple of years was widely known as one of the pioneers of the political blogosphere (and also the inventor of Friday catblogging). That guy, of course, was Kevin Drum, and this Friday, August 22, marks both his sixth anniversary as a blogger and his first day at motherjones.com. For almost as long as he's been blogging, Clara and I have been fans of Kevin's; since we took the helm of Mother Jones, we've been fortunate to have him contribute to the magazine fairly regularly, and we always thought that he'd be a great complement to our growing investigative reporting team. So we're thrilled to welcome him.
Kevin's coming over from Washington Monthly, where he'll be replaced by Steve Benen of the Carpetbagger Report and Hilzoy of Obsidian Wings. He'll have his own blog at motherjones.com while MoJoBlog will remain a group effort powered by the entire MoJo team, including Washington bureau chief David Corn and the prolific Jonathan Stein.
Kevin comes on board as our web team is busy completely overhauling the site. Before the election, you'll see a whole new motherjones.coma new look, a much improved community commenting system. Kevin's gotten a sneak peek at the design-in-progress and says it "should look great"which, coming from a guy not known for hyperbole, is pretty close to unbridled enthusiasm.
Click below to hear Kevin talk about his cats, blog trends, and why he's not going to the conventions:

Cotto-Martinez heats up at NYC presser
Three-division world champion Miguel Cotto and WBC middleweight champion Sergio "Maravilla" Martinez brought their coast-to-coast media tour to New York City with a press conference at Chase Square in Madison Square Garden on Tuesday. Cotto spoke first offering fairly standard press conference comments, while an agitated Martinez made a point of mentioning some of the concessions he had to make to get Cotto to accept the fight.
Miguel Cotto: There's not really much to say. I'm just looking forward to starting my camp, looking forward to train as hard as I can each day, and being here on June 7th to become the first Puerto Rican to be a champion in four different divisions. I'd like to say to Sergio good luck in your camp. Try to do your best and I'm going to do my best. At the end of the road, the winners are going to be the fans.
Sergio Martinez: Don't forget one thing. We are going to fight because I am the champion and I'm coming into the ring first and he's coming in second, otherwise there would be no fight. I go to the blue corner and I really don't care because I'm the champion and if it wasn't for that he won't fight. I will be introduced first in the ring, because if it wash't that way, Cotto would not fight me. I can imagine on June 7 he's gonna ask for rose petals, otherwise he won't walk into the ring. No more excuses. On June 7th, I'm gonna win, Argentina!
Cotto and Martínez collide on June 7 at the "Mecca of Boxing," Madison Square Garden. Tickets go on sale tomorrow at Noon ET / 9:00 A.M. PT. Priced at $750, $500, $300, $200, $100 and $50, tickets can be purchased at the Madison Square Garden Box Office, all Ticketmaster outlets, Ticketmaster charge by phone (866-858-0008), and online at www.ticketmaster.com and www.thegarden.com.

|Thread Tools
I own a T Bucket and it is a Total Performance. Their parts are all quality and there tech support is second to none. I would recommend them to anyone. If you shop around you can save some money on incidentals but for the most part their pricing is fine. Unless you are real good at welding and have all the tools to clamp square and align, I cant imagine why anyone would want to fabricate their own frame. The Total kit can be built by a good wrench in about 35-40 hours for all the mechanical stuff if you have air tools, electrical will depend on who's harness you get and then there is paint. As far as cost, if you keep it fairly plain and lay off a lot of the chrome, the kit will probably total out to about 10K. You already have your engine, that is one of the big ticket items usually. You will need to locate a th350 tranny also, they can usually be had fairly cheap. Other trannys can be used but the TH350 is the one it is designed for.
I have also helped 2 others build buckets, so if you have any questions, please ask. It will be the most fun car you have ever driven.
As for the ones for sale with little mileage, they are also a very scary car to drive, 300 or more Hp in a 1500 lb car. Its about the same HP to LBS ratio as a motorcycle. As far as comfort, I am 6'1" and about 1 HR is my limit behind the wheel. The wind and noise get to you after a while.
What this conversation points out to me is at the end of the day it is either your time or your money..Most of us have more time than money and the social aspects and fun of being involved is a big part of the reward..
Now I did some searching and came up with this as an econobuild..
29 body from Poli-form..this is a race weight body and will need to have the doors made to open but it is 1400 for that body..Once you have the shape then glassing in reinforcements and such is not all that bad a deal..
Go to speedway or tci and get a chassis for about 2500-3500 in cost and then start...
Actually if a fellow wanted something real nice and driveable one of the speedway track t packages with a 4 banger would be good..
I know options options options but then Cboy and I are getting ours done just by being persistent..and determined..
I have tried most all of it and now do what is known to work..
Total vs Sprint Vs Zipper
Dilbert..Deuce and Mikey have both made valid points. Please note, no one here is trying to scare you off. In the end, the decision is yours. You are the one spending his time and money. Most of us aren't into this hobby to make money. It's more a love affair. Some bragging rights too. What ever you do, we will all be here to support you.
Total vs Sprint Vs Zipper
One More Time... Yup, lots of ways to skin a cat...but you can't do the second one until you do the first one.
I want to add.. this is ,by far, the best forum for this type of inter-action. So pleased everyone keeps their cool and respects the other guys opinion.
Have a great day, Youngster.
Remaining calm during an exchange of different ideas and opinions is an indicator of self confidence, rationality and higher intelligence in the participants....
You bunch of fr@#(*&ing ratcherfratchersno no good #@$&&^^!!!....
If Dilbert goes to inquire about a race body from either Poli Form or RodnRace, he should NOT say it will end up on the street...I know that Dick @ Poli-Form or Rodnrace will not sell a shell body to anyone like that. Do a search here on the site for RodnRace..there are a couple of threads about them here already.
In order to make a race body, some of those companies glue the door skins on their street bodies, and leave out the bracing, inner panels, etc..so undoing that is a chore. Building a street body from a race body is fairly time consuming, and does require some extra learning and skills.
None of it is hard stuff, (can't be...I learnt it ), but it can get weird if you don't have experience with the materials or automotive structure.
I have glued many of those skins on 'glass bodies myself.
Later, mikey
my signature lines...not really directed at anyone in particular..
BE different....ACT normal.
No one is completely useless..They can always be used as a bad example
and myself all are held to a higher standard of conduct, and have close to 100 years of rodding experience combined between us.
Dilbert ...
How much upfront money are were talking about ??
You might be better off to save up and then buy what you want. It took me ten years to get my roadster on the road.
I have no direct experience here and therefore only offer an opinion. And, I might be wrong.
I understand Total Perf. uses their own spindles. I don't know if that's good or bad, but it may mean they cost more.
I also understand Total is/was the supplier of cast Corvair pitman arms that have had failures. I don't know what's being supplied these days for a replacement.
If my picture loads, I have most of my frame rails about ready to paste together and I find the pictures of T's posted here to be inspiring and a good reason to work harder on my T.
As words of encouragement on your project, let me tell you what my flight instructor told me many years ago.
Fly the big ones.
Maybe, while looking, you will run into a partially finished project?
or perhaps an older rod that needs a motor refresh and a little TLC?
Might be a good opportunity, if you run into one.
Deuce, great pics, I enjoyed the thread just for those.
Pretty cool project. You should start a project journal so we can watch it go together. I really like the frame rails. Did you make yourself?
The pitman arm was a chromed one obtained from Speedway, who sorced them from TP. Here is a post on how a brand new chrome corvair pitman arm simply broke apart:
I also built a Total T Bucket. The buildup is in my journal. I tend to buck the trend that Deuce has described, 13,000 miles in three summers.
I will give you the credit you deserve ... You do drive yours ... saw you in Louisville, Kentucky driving it ... That has to be 800 plus miles 1 way ... in a T-bucket
I like the air in my face, the wind in what little hair I have left and the overall freedom of a open car ... ( that you get in Deuce roadster ... or a ... T- bucket ) Owned mine 30 years ... but the T-bucket for me is just too small ...
I love the performance of a T-bucket with the HP/weight ratio. They are very visually exciting ... and can be a LOT of fun.
Just too small for a OLD, FAT guy
Goodguys last summer - much more relaxing.
I will admit, I did put less miles on it last summer. I'm not sure what the future holds at this point, but an enclosed car is probably next. Hopefully the Mustang will be done this spring (it's hers, but may require extensive road testing before I can turn it over to her ) and then I can move on to the Model A sedan project. Not sure how the T will fit into these plans though, we'll see.
Thanks for all the responses, everyone!
I only have a couple grand saved up right now, so without a loan, getting an entire prebuilt car probably won't happen.
And I may want to just start building anyways, because by the time you customize some one else's existing car so it's truly yours, the difference in cost may not be as much of a factor....
One thing I did this weekend was join a local car club...so I'll keep my ears open for any potential project cars available... so far the ones that are for sale are completed vehicles.... I have a few months of saving to do before I have enough to get a good, chromed, complete frame kit... so I'll wait and see what happens.... My initial impressions concerning the club were good, and a lot of the members have built cars that are a lot more involved than the projects I have planned in my head... So if I go the bucket route, a good set of plans or instructions may not need to be the end all, be all factor in who's stuff I decide to go with.....
BTW, Anyone purchase a frame kit for Speedway Motors?? I like their buggy springed, radius rod frame kit... Also was thinking of utilizing a I-beam front axle and either a 9 inch Ford or a Winters quick change rear end (a well built nine inch and the plain quick change both seem closer in price than I thought..close enough that I'd consider the quick change...).. The 400 Chevy motor I have dynoed on the PC desktop dyno at 440HP at 5500rpm, 480lb/ft torque at 4000rpm, and over 420lb/ft torque between 2000 and 5500rpm.... I figure at least a good nine inch would be better to handle this setup (even though it would cost more than the standard 8 inch or Chevy rear end...)...the extra strength sure wouldn't hurt...
I assume that you would have to drill all the mounting holes in the Speedway chassis...where you can get Total or Spirit to drill those for you, correct??? I haven't drilled into metal before (I know, I know...I'm hopeless )... So if I would go the Speedway route, I probably would grab some spare tubing from someone and do some 'practice drills' first before I started putting holes in the frame ...... Anyone have good experiences with Speedway....Any bad ones??
I would need to get some mounting tabs welded on for the quick change assembly (and probably a nine inch if I went that route too), but I could probably find someone qualified to do that for me....
I've heard some good things about these guys concerning a 23 body... http://knscustoms.com/ I'm not sure if their extended body would fit the Speedway chassis...???
I really like CCR's stuff, but they never responded to my email asking them questions, and I've heard their customer service isn't the best in the world....Anyone have good / bad experiences with them???
I'm 85% sure at this point that a T bucket will be the route I go...now just trying to decide where to get parts or a "well rounded package"......
Are you looking to build a car or drive it? How long do you plan on this taking? 1 yr? 2? 5 yrs?
If I was you, with the limited fabrication experiance, I would wait till I could get a stage III kit from one of the manufacturers. Even Total has a layway plan (not sure if thats a good finacial idea though) There should be no welding required and everything should bolt on with minimal holes to drill. Don't worry though, even with a complete "kit" there are still lots of things to customize and make your own.
If you get a kit and a good running donor car, you can harvest the engine, transmission, driveshaft, rearend, wiring (maybe), seat parts (foam/belts) and other misc parts. That way, you can clean up, paint and install the motor, trans and rear end and have a roller for not a whole lot of money. Sprit has a pretty complete kit w/ front and rear suspension and body for $3,880. Thats a pretty good deal.

AOLTW to take $60bn charge
AOL Time Warner (AOLTW) expects to take a one-off charge of between $40bn and $60bn against its earnings during the first quarter...

Under the provisions of the new rule, known as FAS 142, which came into effect at the beginning of January, AOLTW is required to write off excess goodwill from the merger between America Online (AOL) and Time Warner. Goodwill is the difference between the price paid to acquire a company and the calculated value of the acquired company's assets.
When the merger agreement between AOL and Time Warner was first announced, the two companies valued the all-stock transaction at $350bn. That deal was made at a time when the price of shares in both AOL and Time Warner were riding high.
In line with FAS 142, AOLTW is currently re-evaluating the value of the transaction and expects to take the one-off charge of up to $60bn to reflect the decline in the value of its stock since January 2000.
Despite the massive value of the write-off, the charge does not affect the company's operations, AOLTW said in a statement.

How to Cut a MangoSaturday, October 13th, 2012
The first time I brought home a ripe, juicy mango, I made a horrible mess of it. No one had clued me in to the unfortunate truth… unlike an apple, or a pear, which make themselves quite obvious, you kind of have to know how to cut a mango before you start. It's got a huge pit, and the skin doesn't come off easily without destroying the fruit. It's actually very simple, but, like surgery, you sort of need to see how things are done before you start going all crazy with a knife.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by WoodysGirl, Nov 11, 2012.
we keep pushing them out of bounds....
...but Red and I WERE rignt and you were wrong on 3rd and long last offensive series: you run it and make the rook drive 90 to beat you: he couldn't. Now, he's the coach for now and there isn't anything we can do about it so stop whining. It is what it is.....I still say we end up 7-9 as I predicted at the beginning of the year: but until that time I'm gonna enjoy a win: no matter HOW ugly it is:starspin
Yeah lol, I like him starting though
8 or 9 wins will win this division.
Bruce Carter is the real deal.
Except when a TD is on the line.
End of an era for Reid... their best chance was McNabb and TO and those guys just blew it because of ego.. that offense was sick
All that crap for one yard.
Love it.
you know how your team is going no where? When they celebrate wins like this.
We got a win. I dont care how it may have looked. I'm thankful!
Carter - Butler - Lee
Bright future
What are you talking about?
Yeah I have Chi and Dal, haven't played Dal since the Chi/Dal game.
We need more penalties...
See ya, Reid. I wonder who's going to want to coach in a city with lousy weather and cruddy fans?
We had a complete game in spite of Garrett trying to screw it all up.
No no it wont giants will still win with at least 11
You know how you aren't a real fan? When you don't celebrate wins like this. Like I said to another poster. You'd rather lose a game like this especially to a team like the Eagles and love it than win and love it. Pathetic.
Win is a win. Grartz Boys well done.
Have you watched the Giants lately?

The surgeons listed above are members of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, licensed by the state of Illinois and certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS).
Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully
Remember, any licensed physician is legally allowed to advertise as a "cosmetic" surgeon, even if he or she has no formal surgical training. Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon from this list is your assurance that your doctor has the highest quality training and advanced surgical skills.
ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters
The ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the specialty of plastic surgery. Following medical school, ABPS-certified plastic surgeons must have completed a minimum of 5 years of surgical training, including an accredited plastic surgery residency program. Members of ASAPS must be in at least their third year of active practice following ABPS certification.

The 20th round selection in his only first full season as a pitcher racked up 76 strikeouts while allowing only 13 walks in 70.2 innings while seeing time with the Batavia Muckdogs and the Quad Cities River Bandits.
Recently, Schneider was kind enough to take time out of his off-season workouts to share his thoughts on his professional debut.
Dustin Mattison: Now that your first season is complete, can you compare the pitcher you were when you first made it to Batavia to the pitcher you are now?
Scott Schneider: As a pitcher, I changed quite a bit over my first season of pro ball. This was the first time I dedicated all my time to pitching so I was really able to focus on what I was trying to do. Mechanically, I made some slight changes to my delivery, but other than that I look pretty similar to how I did in college. The biggest adjustment that I made was throwing a sinker and really forcing myself to throw inside. At first I was not comfortable throwing in. Once I figured this out, it changed me completely. My approach now is almost completely opposite of the one I used in college and I think that is why I had some success.
DM: What does it mean to you when your manager Mark DeJohn says the following: "Personally, I think Schneider is going to reach the big leagues – if he continues to do what he needs to do."
SS: It is quite an honor to have DJ say that about me. The man has been in the game for a very long time. He has played and coached in the big leagues and seen many guys make their way to the top. Having said that, it means a lot that he would say that about me. I have a lot of respect for him and I appreciate the knowledge that he passed on to us. In the end though, it comes down to my desire to keep improving.
DM: Regarding the same quote, what is it that you need to continue to do?
SS: I think the key to making my way through the minor leagues is continually improving. I don't want to show up and be the same guy that I was last year. I still need to make adjustments and learn. The hitters are only going to get better, the zone is going to get smaller, and the game is going to get faster, so if I want to give myself a chance, I need to keep up. Another major factor is staying healthy. So far I've been blessed with good health, but anything can happen. No matter what adjustments I make or how much I learn, I still need to be in the best condition possible.
DM: What are you working on this winter?
SS: So far the off-season is going real well. My main focus right now is getting in the best shape possible. I've been working real hard trying to get stronger and more powerful. I'm going to start baseball activity fairly soon. I threw a lot of innings this year so I think it was smart to take some time off and let my arm recover. I've also been taking classes, trying to finish up my degree so I've been staying pretty busy. Its nice to have some time off, but i can't wait to start up again.
What are your goals for 2010?
Obviously, I want to have another great year in 2010. How I do that is the question. The main thing is to focus about what is in my own control. First and foremost, my goal is to stay healthy. I need to pitch if I want to keep moving through the system. In terms of my pitching, I still need to continue working on my fastball and being able to establish it as my best pitch. Like I said, the hitters are going to be better. A lot of them have seen me before so I need to stay one step ahead. If I can successfully apply these things to my game, I think everything will work itself out.

I'm also thinking about making little stuffed teddy bears, the 2-d ones-the flat ones with just 2 pieces of fabric. I think some of the decorator fabrics would make really cute stuffed animals.
I think I'll look into hot pads and trivits. and maybe do the crazy block techinique to make bigger pieces of fabric from the small samples.
Anyone else have any links to suggestions?

WINFIELD TOWNSHIP — The Amble Fire Department responded to a wildfire at 15266 W. Gates Road in Winfield Township around 3:30 p.m. Monday.
The fire started in a wooded area behind a home and began to spread into the forest area. The fire burned three to four acres before firefighters were able to extinguish it.
A volunteer firefighter who was the first to arrive at the scene is pictured above spraying the blaze with a hose.
According to Fire Chief Bill Knapp, the fire was likely caused by a tree that fell onto a power line. The Maple Valley Township Fire Department assisted at the scene.

REDDING ? Simpson University honored 214 graduates during its outdoor spring commencement on campus April 27.
Among those are 20 men and women making history as the university's founding class of nursing students, including Red Bluff resident Laura Nasise.
Those students received their nursing pins at a special ceremony April 25.
In 2011, Simpson launched a four-year bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) program, expanding its nursing educational options, which include a 16-month RN-to-BSN Track through the School of Continuing Studies.
The program is bursting at the seams, with more than 80 students this semester and more than 90 expected in spring 2014.
Plans are underway for a state-of the-art Science and Nursing Building to be constructed near the center of campus for projected occupancy in fall 2014.
This year's founding class of graduates includes 18 women and two men, most between the ages of 18 and 25. The majority is from Shasta County, and several are married. They hope to serve in a variety of settings, including trauma centers, community hospitals, and in overseas missions.
Nasise said being part of Simpson's nursing program has been one of the best experiences of her life.
"My classmates have become part of my family," she said. "Simpson University has not only given me an excellent nursing education, but they have nurtured my spiritual being as well."
The BSN program prepares students to take the registered nursing exam for California licensure.

Rather, it is based on Monte Cook's tabletop RPG Numenera's Ninth World, and will use a set of rules based on it. InXile promises 'engaging' gameplay, but combat, like other Torment games, will be avoidable. There will be lots of focus on story and character, and having the player develop that character in terms of both skills and story choices.
You can find lots of info on the studio's plans for the game, how the tides work, and some artwork on the Kickstarter page. Torment: Tides of Numenera will release in December of next year.

Written and directed by Woody Allen
Rated M, 112 minutes
Cinemas everywhere
Reviewer's rating: 3 out of 5 stars
Woody Allen continues his European tour of exile in To Rome with Love, a film with a stellar cast, lots of wisecracks and not much heart. Having done Spain and France (Vicky Cristina Barcelona and Midnight in Paris, his most successful film yet at the box office), he runs out of steam getting to Rome. A bit like Hannibal.
Yes, the film has some great laughs but the direction is listless, as if Allen is exhausted. No one would blame him for that. He's now 76 and he keeps to a relentless schedule, producing a new film every year. He still has things to say but it is becoming apparent that he has said most of them before with more style and skill.
He is famous for not directing his actors, relying on them to bring a performance. Even by his standards, though, the technical side of the movie is awful. The actors mill around as if unsure where to stand; the camera work is static and dull; the soundtrack has one musical cliche after another. It's as if he's lost interest in blocking out his scenes and building a safe framework for his actors.
The bigger problem is a script that prefers a one-liner to dramatisation and character. It's as if Woody has taken to heart the criticism he mocked in Stardust Memories 32 years ago when one of the characters told his character, a film-maker, that she preferred his ''early, funny ones''.
There is a distinct difference between his early output, where one-liners and zany invention carried the spirit of vaudeville, and the later films, in which Woody the dramatist explores the world around him with some seriousness, as well as humour.
To Rome with Love wants the best of both worlds but that involves difficult choices. When it comes to characterisation or an obvious joke, he chooses the latter. He gets a laugh but loses dramatic credibility because one-liners are a form of direct address to the audience.
At the same time, he has a lot on his mind in this film, in which he appears as a neurotic opera director with an undistinguished career. Jerry (Allen) is unfulfilled and afraid of retirement. He arrives with his psychoanalyst wife, Phyllis (Judy Davis), from New York to see their daughter Hayley (Alison Pill) and meet her Italian fiance, Michelangelo (Flavio Parenti). He is horrified with the boy's ''communist'' views and the fact that his father is an undertaker.
This is one of five stories, most of them loosely based on a question of inappropriate love. Alec Baldwin plays John, a famous architect revisiting old haunts. He teams up with Jack (Jesse Eisenberg), a student architect who may be his younger self. Jack finds he's falling for his girlfriend's best friend (Ellen Page), an actress visiting after a breakup. In a separate tale, Penelope Cruz plays Anna, a prostitute in a busy red dress who has to masquerade as the fiancee of a young Italian man (Allessandro Tiberi), whose wife (Alessandra Mastronardi) has wandered off on their first day in Rome.
She ends up meeting a film star (Antonio Albanese) in an episode that resembles The Purple Rose of Cairo, one of Allen's most delightful confections.
In the film's most satirical story, Roberto Benigni plays an average man whose life is upended by the Italian media. They decide he is the next big celebrity, so they film him shaving and eating breakfast.
That story provides a lever for the rest of the movie, tipping events towards the ridiculous. Allen appears to be aiming for the giddy mayhem of a Shakespearean comedy, Twelfth Night a la Roma, but never gets up enough momentum. Worse, it becomes rudely mechanical. There is a scene in the Sistine Chapel, where Anna the hooker has to accompany her ''fiance'' and his family on a Vatican tour. ''Can you imagine working all that time on your back,'' asks his mother. ''I can,'' says Anna, right on cue. Is there a reason for that scene in that location other than to facilitate her line?
Woody Allen at his best is formidable, unmatched. At his worst, he's embarrassing. To Rome with Love is neither. It's like a tourist meal in a Roman restaurant: perfunctory but palatable.

Lenny "The Rage" LaPaglia Remembered
By Sam DiTusa
It is with great sadness that I report the passing of Lenny Lapaglia, a colorful Chicago middleweight during the 80s and early 90s. Lenny compiled a ring record of 36-9 with 33 KOs in a career which movies are made of. He started by winning the Chicago Golden Gloves before turning pro under top trainer Pat La Cassa. Lenny was noted for his fights in taverns and on the streets as well as the ring. He was one of Chicago's most colorful personalities at a young age and never met a fight he didn't like.
Being a friend of Lenny's, many of the best stories I can't print. But believe me, there are hundreds. His crosstown rivalry with John Collins was the hottest topic in town for a year until the two finally met at the UIC campus arena on a warm Sunday afternoon. The fight was broadcast live on NBC and was a nominee for fight of the year. Lenny lost a ten round decision that night and his career took a momentary downward spiral. But Lapaglia reinvented himself several times throughout his career, and fought several times on USA Network's Tuesday Night Fight series, still the best TV boxing produced since the 50s.
It was always said he was his own worst enemy. Many say his out of the ring antics and wild lifestyle kept him from being a champion. But Lenny lived life the way most guys only dream of living it. He was charismatic and his life should have been on the silver screen. LaPaglia fought the likes of Tommy Hearns, Carlos Tite, Doug Dewitt, and John Collins to name a few. His relentless style and left hook earned him the nickname "The Rage" after his idol Jake LaMotta.
In recent years Lenny helped out at the Leyden Boxing Gym run by former fighter Johnny Nocita. Lenny was best with the kids, probably because he was a kid himself to the end. He's the kind of guy people will tell stories about for another 25 years. Rest in Peace Pal.

Australian Galleries, Collingwood
MARY TONKIN, Australian Galleries Works on Paper, Collingwood,
both until until May 10
In figurative painting, there are two technical priorities. First, the space has to be credible. For expressive or compositional reasons, it might be a bit empty, knotty or jumbled; but the space has to declare its presence.
Second, the paint has to have some congruence with the volumes. With whatever colour or tone or blocks or smears, it has to celebrate the drawn logic of the motif.
As a lesser requirement, the picture might further resemble the things that it depicts. Preferably, this illusionism drops naturally out of the integrity of space and volume, which is most essential.
Lewis Miller, now the official war artist, has impressive strength in the last of these demands, without necessarily satisfying the others.
He can turn out a portrait or draw a figure that reveals identity, but when it comes to space and volume, his grasp is less secure.
Miller's figure paintings here have a fine, sinuous sensuality. They're often imaginatively composed and, with nubile women in labial glory, are sometimes impressively horny. The best have a defined studio setting, with wit and relish in depicting the paint-stained floorboards. But weakness in the two prerequisites of figurative painting mars the vision.
The keynote of Miller's aesthetic is in the half-finished figures floated across unpainted canvas. This flirtation with the figure at the expense of spatial relationships also extends to pictures showing the room, for they, too, look like graphic signatures more than pictorial construction. Second, the expression of form within the figure is dull.
There are plenty of vigorous brushstrokes, loads of paint and a good range of earth colours. But the problem is that a given colour turns up in contradictory planes and ends up negating the volume. None of the expressive resources contributes any grunt. The paint might be thick, but the visual result is the same as if the paint had been thin.
The portraits are better, mainly because Miller is less seduced by his own calligraphic drawing manner, and works more logically in masses. But, even so, the patches of colour sometimes don't make much sense.
Miller heartily wraps lines around a cute body, but has difficulty thereafter in pulling the flesh into any kind of spatial relationships with itself or the surroundings.
These are exactly the kinds of problems that never crop up in the paintings of Mary Tonkin. In huge works that feel their way through the ins and outs of nature, Tonkin assiduously grapples with the form and space of things.
Her subject matter is potentially chaotic: gullies and valleys, presenting awkward striations produced by saplings, lumps made by boulders and pitter-patter composed by leaf litter.
Forswearing the scenic prospects that are conventional in landscape, Tonkin wants to wrestle with negative space as much as positive form. To this end, she engages a systematic palette that searches over nature with symphonious arguments.
Both painters work from life, but Tonkin communicates the great phenomenological understanding that proceeds from the study of perception.

Thinking about putting a set of these J-Frames 320s on my S&W 637, anybody got any thoughts or experience with this setup?
I have purchased Esmeralda wood grips, and love the feel of the wood over the stock rubber grips that came on my S&W 642. They are more easlily slipped into a pocket holster than the rubber grips, and give a great grip for the gun. I think you will like the grips you chose... good luck, and practice once you get them. One bit of advice... dont overtighten the screw that holds the grips on, you will crack the wood. good luck. bunker
Best thing I'v ever done was put a set of barami grips on my 642. I can pocket carry if I want or IWB. Liked it so much I did the same to my k frame model 65 four inch barrel with a bobbed hammer.
Altamont Rosewood Service grip on my 442 and a set of the Bonded Ivory too. I like to change my grips on my Jaybirds.http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/...s/582cca18.jpghttp://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/...ms/photo-1.jpg
The VZ grips look good, and I may have to buy some for a J frame. Here is what I have on my 642 - Altamont dymondwood boot grips - which I like very much.
The zebra look is a bit too "bold' for my taste, but if you like the look and feel, go for it. Everyone has their own ideas of what looks good.

Lights, Camera, Action!
The best part about karaoke is pretending to be a rock star for the duration of a song or an entire evening, depending on how brave you are. And whether you're getting down to "Billie Jean" for the first or thousandth time, there comes a moment when you're hitting every note and actually sounding good, and you wish someone was there with a camera to record the momentous occasion.
Well, every Sunday at the Electric Cowboy, 8811 Harlan Street in Westminster, Cosmic YouTube Karaoke kicks off at 9 p.m. with a camera available to record performances and post the results on, yes, YouTube. "We also have a 3-D laser show," says general manager Louie Giunta. "It's the only 3-D laser show in Colorado, so it's quite the investment, but it's got all sorts of images to flash right above the person who's singing." The camera-shy need not worry: Giunta collects permission slips from singers to post their video, so you won't automatically wind up on the World Wide Web. Karaoke is free, and drink specials include $2 longnecks, $1 well drinks, $3 Jägermeister shots and $5 Jäger bombs. Call 303-412-1133; visit www.youtube.com/profile?user=louieg972 to watch some videos.

Going for the Gold in Hanover
While the world's biggest computer fair, CeBIT, saw a drop in annual visitors and exhibitors this week, one of its main events has gone from strength to strength. The annual International Forum, or iF, awards for product design took place on the opening day of CeBIT, in Hanover, Germany, on Mar. 15.
Though exhibitor numbers at CeBIT have fallen from 8,100 in 2001 to just 6,059 this year, iF participants and winners are at record-breaking levels. Some 2,300 products from 500 companies in 35 countries competed in 12 categories, including consumer electronics, leisure, and transportation (read: fast cars). From these, the international panel of judges picked 754 iF winners, and awarded 50 of these the coveted gold statue for design excellence.
Tired of wacky designs that favor form over function, the judges for the 54-year-old event cheered products with a clear purpose. "People have had enough of crazy ideas that make ordinary objects unrecognizable. They want to understand what something does straight away," explains Fritz Frenkler, co-founder of Frankfurt-based f/p design, who has been chairman of the panel since 1999.
Products that hit home in this criterion were objects like the innovative flashlight from Panasonic that can run on AA, C, and D batteries—particularly helpful during a power cut—or the extra-large Omron thermometer that's easy for children and the elderly to use.
Driven By Marketing?
This year, the judges commended the high standard of consumer-electronics entries, which bagged 162 iFs and 15 of the 50 golds. In particular, mobile telephones showed strong improvement, they said. "There are models out there that you can actually call people on now," Frenkler quips. He explains that the best recent products had bypassed gimmicky designs to focus more on functional devices that still retain a strong style.
Asian companies showed the strongest improvement, says Frenkler, and saw a record number of gold winners. In the last few years, companies like top iF winners Panasonic, Sony (SNE), and Samsung have built up strong in-house design teams. To reward successful work, they pay bonuses based on the number of awards a product wins. This year, Samsung designers should be partying into the night—the Korean company bagged 28 awards and two golds for two digital cameras: the Digimax i6 PMP camera with portable media player and the retro-looking VLUU NV series.
Not all categories impressed the judges. Many of the new automobiles exasperated the panel, which accused designers of pandering to their marketing departments. German carmakers like DaimlerChrysler (DCX) and BMW particularly disappointed Frenker. "What they call design, we call mere styling. It undermines this event," Frenkler complains. In contrast to the Germans were the Japanese entries—including the gold-winning Lexus GS450h by Toyota (TM), the world's first hybrid premium sedan, which the jury felt expertly combined environmental concern with visual elegance.
Skeptical of iPhone
No recent design event would be complete without the obligatory nod to Apple (AAPL). The company scooped seven golds, mostly for its family of iPod gadgets. The jury unanimously praised the designs that make complex technology seem within everyone's reach. "Apple's product appeal transcends sex and age because it keeps things simple," says Frenkler.
Apple's taste for clean white boxes showed up in other companies' winning products too. These included the Epson E-500 PictureMate 240, which uses flip-out covers to hide its unattractive machinery, making for a pleasingly simple shape when shut (see BusinessWeek.com, 12/19/06, "Industrial Facility's Holistic Approach").
Another was the Sony Ericsson M600i smart phone, which bears more than a passing resemblance to the ubiquitous music player.
But Frenkler's faith in Apple is not without limit. He is skeptical of the upcoming iPhone's potential for exactly the same reason that he praises the company's past successes. Set to launch this summer, the iPhone combines a mobile phone, an MP3 player, and an Internet device into one gadget. "It's just too much. Only a minority of the market want a gadget that can do everything. The iPod outsells more powerful, cheaper MP3 [players] because it's so simple," argues Frenkler.
A Sign-Language Sensation
As well as celebrating the most successful companies in the design industry, the iF awards also praised the next generation of design talent. For the fourth year running, the event included the iF Concept Award for students. Sponsored by the British design and technology company Dyson, the competition seeks to encourage young innovators by giving them a cash prize and ongoing support from the Dyson design team.
This year, German student Maxie Lisa Pantel scooped the top prize, and $6,600, for her sign-language translator, Senjo. The wearable device, which is still in concept form, aims to help the deaf communicate with hearing people. It works by using cameras and sensors to record visual sign language, which is then converted into spoken language. To convert spoken language into sign language, Senjo uses speech recognition: Words are made into visual signs that are projected onto the deaf person's specially designed glasses.
"Senjo stretches current technological capabilities to take it to the fringes of the possible," says Peter Gammack, concept design director for Dyson and member of the iF Concept Award jury.
For next year's iF awards, Frenkler hopes to see stronger entries in the field of public design, which suffers from lack of funding, as well as more truly innovative products in the leisure and automobile categories, where the frivolous often supplants the useful. "We need fewer designers who are in love with the forms they create, and more who understand what humans actually need," he says.

Stocks reversed early losses and moved into positive territory with nearly one hour left to go in Monday's session.
The Oct. 17 debt-limit is right around the corner and comments from Senate Majority leader Harry Reid early today indicated that a deal may not be far off. Still, a meeting between President Obama and congressional leaders scheduled for 3 p.m. ET was postponed.
The Nasdaq was near its session high, up 0.6%, after being down by as much as 0.7%. The Dow Jones industrial average and S&P 500 each rose 0.4%. Preliminary data showed NYSE and Nasdaq volume tracking about 15% lower than Friday.
In the stock market today, Dunkin' Brands (DNKN) rallied 2% after Miller Tabak upgraded the stock to buy and raised its price target to 53 from 46, citing strong earnings growth prospects. Dunkin' is still within buying range, only 3% above a recent flat base buy point of 45.35.
Elsewhere, Sunpower (SPWR) extended gains after a recent breakout from a cup-shaped base. Shares rose nearly 5%. It's now 8% past a buy point of 28.25. Late last week, group peer Solar City (SCTY) offered a bullish outlook. Shares surged 23% on Friday, and the stock is holding on to the bulk of those gains today.
Meanwhile, Facebook (FB) added nearly 1% on news the company is acquiring Israeli firm Onavo. Terms weren't disclosed but Facebook reportedly paid north of $100 million for the mobile startup. Onavo has technology that helps boost the efficiency of smartphones.
Inside the IBD 50, NQ Mobile (NQ) was looking to make it three gains in a row after undercutting its 50-day moving average last week. Shares rose 5%. The China-based provider of mobile Internet services shows strong earnings and sales growth in recent quarters. Full-year profit is seen rising 59% this year and 27% in 2014.
After the close, watch for earnings from Packaging Corp. of America (PKG). The container-board and corrugated packaging maker recently cleared a fourth-stage flat base and is finding support at its 10-week moving average for the first time. Shares rose 1% ahead of the results.
A slew of earnings reports are due Tuesday before the open, including Citigroup (C) Coca-Cola (KO), Domino's Pizza (DPZ) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) .

Put 'haji' to Rest
Ignorant racism is not an option
Haji is a word every Marine, deployed or in the continental United States, from private to general, has heard: haji armor, haji girl, haji villages. It is a filler word. It is a tongue in cheek expression. It is also a term that, derogatory and counterproductive to the war effort, leaders of all ranks should discourage.

Squirrels Lead Denlinger to GM Dream
Richmond AGM Set to Take Over Augusta GreenJackets
By Richmond Flying Squirrels | December 16, 2013 2:21 PM ET
Richmond, Va. - The Richmond Flying Squirrels, Double-A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants, are pleased to announce that Assistant General Manager Tom Denlinger's efforts in Richmond will allow him to fulfill his dream of becoming a minor league General Manager. Denlinger, a founding member of the Flying Squirrels front office, will be leaving the team to take the helm of the Augusta GreenJackets (A - South Atlantic League). The move will keep him in the Giants' system at the "A" level.
"We couldn't be more excited for Tom and this opportunity with the GreenJackets," said Squirrels' Vice President & COO Todd "Parney" Parnell. "We strive for advancement in every aspect of our organization, and our family members (employees) are no exception. There is no question that Tom will be sorely missed at The Diamond and throughout the community, but we know that his tutelage has positioned others in the organization to step up and fill his very large shoes."
2014 will mark Denlinger's 13th season in minor league baseball, having ascended from the Reading Phillies' internship program, where he started his career. The 33-year old has previously worked in the South Atlantic League, having served on the staff of the Delmarva Shorebirds. He came to Richmond after a highly successful stint as AGM with the Daytona Cubs (Advanced-A - Florida State League). The Paradise, PA, native has become a familiar presence in Richmond, having actively participated in numerous community organizations and initiatives.
"I would like to thank the Richmond Flying Squirrels for a tremendous four years," Denlinger said. "Everyone, including our front office staff, partners and fans have helped me develop personally and professionally to a point that I take this next step with confidence. I have had a lot of Funn in Richmond, and have made countless memories from my time here that I will cherish forever."
Season ticket and mini-plan packages for the 5th Season of Flying Squirrels baseball are currently available. For more information or to purchase ticket packages, please call the Flying Squirrels at (804) 359-3866 or log on to SquirrelsBaseball.com.

Awesome! we have to get pics of both versions! I got the wig from ebay... think I literally just typed blonde wig into the search, It was pretty cheap so I was surprised it's actually a pretty good wig :P
Looking epic!

Finished the Phoenix symbol for the front of the costume, made out of foam that I ended up heat moulding with my iron cause I can't find my heat gun!

All that we do at Trinity is grounded in worship and prayer. As Anglicans, our theology is manifest in our worship; what we believe is set forth in how we do liturgy together.
We at Trinity Cathedral are spiritually fed by different expressions of the Eucharist and other forms of Anglican worship. Trinity has four Sunday services, Wednesday Choral Evensong, and a Thursday mid-day Healing Service, each with its own style in the Anglican tradition.
Please click here for information on submitting a prayer request.
Early Communion, 8 am
This quiet early service in the Chapel provides the opportunity to worship with a small group.
Mostly Jazz Mass, 9 am
The Gateway Band plays hard-hitting, spiritually evocative jazz each week at this lively, energetic celebration. The congregation gathers around the altar as the Eucharist is celebrated, and children often dance and sing.
Choral Eucharist, 11:15 am
The Trinity Cathedral Choir offers excellent music in the Anglican tradition at this more formal service that includes music played by Director of Music and Worship Todd Wilson, one of America's leading concert organists.
Solemn Sung Eucharist, 5 pm (first Sunday of the month, October-May):
This formal service includes incense, bells, plainsong and the ceremonies of an Anglican high church service.
Choral Evensong, 6 pm (October-May)
This sung evening service, rich with contrasts between light and dark, is sung by the Trinity Cathedral Choir or the Trinity Chamber Singers. Each evensong commemorates a saint from Holy Women, Holy Men, the Episcopal Church's book of saints.
See the current Choral Evensong schedule.
Healing and Eucharist Service, 12:10 pm
This quiet, intimate mid-week service offers a brief respite from the pressures and frenetic pace of the world around us. Words of encouragement are offered and space is made for prayers of thanksgiving, intercession and petition. All are invited to participate in Holy Communion and those so desiring may receive an anointing for healing of themselves or others.
