New research in the FASEB Journal suggests that flawed antibody production could potentially compromise resistance to infections during long-term missions and jeopardize the outcome of a space mission
Bethesda, MD—The trip to Mars just got a little more difficult now that French researchers have discovered that antibodies used to fight off disease might become seriously compromised during long-term space flight. In a new report published online in the FASEB Journal (http://www.fasebj.org), the scientists show that antibodies produced in space are less effective than those produced on terra firma. The reduced effectiveness of antibodies makes astronauts more susceptible to illness, while increasing the danger posed by bacteria and viruses likely to coexist with wayfaring astronauts.
"We hope to find efficient pharmacological and/or nutritional countermeasures to alterations of the immune system that could be useful to astronauts and to people who have weak immune systems on Earth because of infections, aging, or chronic stress exposure," said Jean-Pol Frippiat, a researcher involved in the work from the Faculty of Medicine, Development and Immunogenetics at the Université Henri Poincaré-Nancy, Vandœuvre-lès-Nancy, France.
To make their discovery, Frippiat and colleagues conducted studies using three groups of amphibians. Amphibians were chosen for the work because they use the same cellular mechanisms to produce antibodies as humans do. The first group of amphibians was immunized in space, the second was immunized on Earth, and the third was not immunized at all. Comparison of the antibodies produced revealed that the quality of the antibodies generated by the group immunized in space was decreased. This suggests that spaceflight conditions alter the immune system and affect its ability to protect against infections and tumors, posing a serious risk for astronauts.

Ravishing and regal in red!
First Lady Michelle Obama stole the show last night...once again...wearing Jason Wu...once again.
PLAY IT NOW: Breaking Down The Obama Family's 2013 Inauguration Style
Back in 2009, she stunned in a flawless white gown at the Inaugural Ball and last night she hit the Jason Wu jackpot again. Her dramatic red halter-style gown, which she paired with Jimmy Choo heels (and her new 'do!), was elegant and classic.
The chiffon and velvet gown was custom-made for the First Lady and showed off her toned shoulders and arms beautifully. Gorgeous!
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Stars At Inauguration Day
It's been a whirlwind week for the First Family as they've celebrated Inaugural festivities for several days now and they've looked utterly stylish every step along the way!
At the Inaugural Kids Concert on Saturday, the First Mom recycled an Alexander McQueen white tunic.
Sasha looked adorable in J.Crew's Cashmere Square Dot cardigan, Harper boots, small crystal circle necklace and belt. While Malia wore a J.Crew Collection waffle sweater in green line and Iwona Ludyga Design jewelry.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Louise Roe's 13 Fashion Must Haves For 2013
On Inauguration Day yesterday, the family was perfectly color coordinated.
The First Lady wore a navy Thom Browne coat and dress, the fabric of which was based on the style of a man's silk tie. Her belt and "Valentina" heels are J.Crew and her necklace is by Cathy Waterman.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Holidays In Hollywood: Stars Bundle Up For Winter
Malia wore "a full J.Crew ensemble" including the Double-cloth Lady Coat in fresh plum. Sasha wore a purple kate spade new york "Patrice" coat and "Carolyn" color block dress with J.Crew Miro necklace.
I can't imagine the pressure on the First Lady to deliver First Rate fashion choices for herself, let alone making sure her entire family looks good in the spotlight.
But she and her girls (and The President too!) all looked great...so stylish and polished.
Well done!

struggling to finish porch project
As I attempt to complete this project, I've hit some road blocks as I attempt to finish the interior of the enclosed porch.
1. I've put rigid foam insulation in the gap. i then added some spackle (container said interior/exterior but for exterior app. will need to be weatherproofed, painted). still in the process of sanding spackle. i have to make a choice about what to do next. up to this point i've assumed i would add some molding. some have suggested using 1 X4 flat stock. i have made a template of the siding but have yet to buy the wood or make any cuts.
2. one of my larger errors is evident here. on the right side of the door the wood is bowed at the top. not sure how i missed this.
1. have to figure out what to do with each corner on this side.
2. should I just paint the exposed wood?
3. a closer view: http://tinyurl.com/2dpusog
1. this corner was no more than an inch wide, so I used some caulk saver and caulk.
1. i put a piece of untreated 1 X3 here temporarily to see how it looked. it doesn't cover all of the wood. when i get the right fit, maybe i will stain everything?
thanks for all of your help. i can see the light at the end of tunnel and i want to be sure that i finish this project in a quality way, having spent so much time and energy on it.
It looks like you've got a prehung screen door without any frame- header, king studs, jack studs etc. A framing guy can explain it better than I can so I won't attempt it. As it is it won't last long even if you do get it squared up.
199 Attachment(s)
At this point all you can do (as mentioned before) is scribe in the trim. Buy a couple extra boards or rip some plywood strips to practice on and make a pattern it may take a couple of tries to get it right.
Get it close then caulk is your friend.
thanks for the reply. I guess it's just the camera shot, but I have everything but the cripples. the pic above was before i added the header. i'm noticing there is no bow in the right 2 X4.
That picture looks much clearer. It looked like you had a 1x framed prehung door in you flikr pics. I see they are 2x's now and not prehung.
If you want the door to operate long term, install a door frame around the unit and and add space around the frame to compensate for the exterior wood movement.
Ron thanks for the feedback
"If you want the door to operate long term, install a door frame around the unit and and add space around the frame to compensate for the exterior wood movement.
But I am not sure what I would add? Would I have to take all of this down?
regarding the jack studs being too low, you are right. I had to shim them so the door would clear.
I somehow missed the part in the door's installation instructions that discussed building a frame for the door. Guess I should have known this.:no:
The door seems to be stable but if it won't last I am going to have to start over. Won't it look odd or asymmetrical if I move the right side over 2"?
They typically offer interior and exterior doors pre-hung. That is, they already come on a hinged frame that you plumb and square with shims within your door frame- what you have pictured there that still needs a header. I would think they would sell screen doors pre-hung in a frame as well. It would make your installation much easier since the pre-hung frame is already square to the door from the factory.

Chief Justice John Roberts : "I don't see how you can read Heller and not take away from it the notion that the Second Amendment...was extremely important to the framers in their view of what liberty meant."
Yes, in a self-defense situation. Because of auditory exclusion as a result of an adrenalized state, it sounded like a firecracker and I didn't experience any hearing loss.
All my life and my ears have suffered from it......left ear rings constantly and hearing is bad in both! Growing up we were never told of the possible damage.....living on the ranch, shot hundreds of rounds every month and no telling how many during hunting seasons!
Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight."
Years ago I went to a range to shoot the 9MM I had at the time. I shot almost a full box of ammo before I realized I din't have my hearing protection on. To be young a foolish again. Of course I never wore any while hunting. It's a bit different indoors as opposed to outdoors.

i shoot a round out of all my weapons without ears on so i know what to expect should i ever HAVE to. yeah it sucks. yeah your ears ring. yeah i wouldn't recommend for anyone to do it.
as follows.
12 gauge
glock 23
h&k usp 45
i should note that there are other weapons i have not done this with, because they would never be a first line of defense weapon. my mosin nagant is definitely in that group.
My metal band: Born under Sirius
Glock 23, mic holster, clipdraw, abdominal carry.
Varmints usually don't wait around for ya to get your earplugs in. The ringing goes away. Not as bad as a rock concert.
I have done a small potion of my shooting with no ear protection. I want to know what I'll be in for once and or if, shots need to be fired.
If you end up in an SD scenario, and you need to use your weapon, no one is going to wait until you put in/on you hearing protection.
Of course to each their own but if you have to pull the trigger in you bedroom to stop an intruder just know that it is going to be LOUD!!
If you don't know what tinnitus is let me tell you it is a nightmare !! For the rest if your life you will not have a single quiet moment night or day. You can damage your hearing with just one shot even from a .22 some people are just luckier than others but the repeated exposure will get them someday. Unless your risking a life do not ever ever go unprotected. A 9mm user even with foam plugs and headphones over top is receiving a blast 30 plus decibels over the limit when damage occurs. I am a concealed carrier and 13 year military man believe me you cannot have enough protection. Indoor ranges are the worst stay outside away from anything that can conduct the shock wave. Even with foams and muffs the mastoid bone behind the ear can absorb the shock wave and cause hearing loss and tinnitus. I love to shoot I have to limit my range time to prevent further damage. I shoot a lot with co2 helps keep my shooting skills on par with carrying a concealed weapon. A air pistol puts out 20 more decibels than considered safe for exposure. Do some research you'll never shoot without protection again. There is a app that will allow you to play the sounds we tinnitus suffers hear 24/7 I turn it on my iPod and leave it in my workspace drives my co workers nuts. For the greatest protection see audiologist and have custom molds made cost is under $50. best money you will ever spend. Enough said

Any brand is fine as long as it is in good condition and actually shortens the throw. I'm also looking for JDM projector headlights. These are very hard to come by and usually when i find them, they want an ass load of money for them. Also I'm looking for a set or Rota Torque R's. I prefer a smaller offset so it will give it that concave look on the wheel. Lastly, I'm looking for a carbon fiber hood scoop for the bugeyes model wrx. And just curious but does anyone know where I can find carbon fiber interior pieces for my 03 wrx? Thanks.

Homemade Garlic Butter
Recipe by Gail 80
It's so simple. I love using this butter by spreading it on a baguette and sprinkle some shredded mozzarella and toast it. DELICIOUS. Actually one can use it with chicken or sauces. Just try it. You won't be disappointed.
Top Review by Luschka
We normally have some variation of bread with pasta, to mop up the sauces, and today's variation had this delicious garlic butter added. I've often made garlic butter, but not added the brandy or lemon juice. It was well worth it though! It has fantastic flavour and well, you just can't go wrong with garlic bread! (Reviewed for Spring PAC 2007)
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 100 g salted butter
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon brandy
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- parsley
Directions See How It's Made
- Put all the ingredients in a blender.
- Blend well until garlic and parsley are finely chopped.
- Allow at least 2 hours before using it, for the flavours to mix well.

Our Christmas exhibition this year is, as usual, a mixed bag of our favourite artists. Drama is provided in the shape of Peter Goodfellow's marvellously textured highland landscapes and by a newcomer to us, Roy Avis, whose studies in oil of Glasgow landmarks at night are a fascinating and exciting exploration of light. The sought-after, peaceful, textured paintings by Peter White continue to draw admiration and exquisitely executed still life oils from Belgium's Tony De Wolf, rarely available in Scotland, have attracted the attention of the serious collectors already.
Naturally no mixed show at Tracey McNee would be complete without the Magic Realism of Alison Dunlop and more and more these days the gothic mindscapes of newcomer Claire McGee. Our adopted Scot, Todd Garner, continues to impress with his juxtaposition of old and new, think Hopper meets Art Deco meets contemporary Glasgow! We have some great small pieces by this popular artist which, we're sure, will be snapped up. In terms of figurative work we are proud to be displaying several key pieces by Cherylene Dyer, paintings which literally drew crowds of admirers at the recent Edinburgh Art Fair. Humour is provided by the crazy dogs, mice, bunnies and polar bears of French artist Hervé Maury, the funky, tightly painted whippets of Paula Zimmerman and Inge Clayton's distinctly European take on sensuality.
As ever there will also be a liberal sprinkling of ceramic work by Olivia Brown and Virginia Dowe-Edwards, bronze sculpture by Sandra Bell and the ever popular hand-made glass of Bob Crooks.

U.S. Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Case on Illinois Antigay Referendum: Lambda Legal Lauds Decision
Find Your State
Legal Help Desk
Our Sponsors
(Chicago, February 20, 2007) -- Lambda Legal lauds today's United States Supreme Court refusal to hear a case brought by an Illinois antigay group that attempted to put a statewide advisory referendum opposing marriage and relationship rights for same-sex couples on the November ballot but lacked an adequate number of signatures.
"We are pleased that the United States Supreme Court rejected a desperate attempt to undermine the will of the people and push ahead a radical measure that the people of Illinois clearly did not want on their ballot" said James P. Madigan, Staff Attorney in Lambda Legal's Midwest Regional Office in Chicago, who worked on the Illinois Board of Elections and federal court proceedings in this case. "The Court has respected Illinois' right to apply the same referendum rules to everyone, and has stopped Protect Marriage Illinois from trampling the rights of Illinois voters."
Under Illinois law, Protect Marriage Illinois (PMI), the antigay Illinois group seeking the referendum, needed the support of 283,111 registered voters to place its proposed antigay referendum on the November 2006 ballot in Illinois. Lambda Legal represented the registered opponent of the referendum, Fair Illinois, a coalition of fair-minded Illinoisans that came together to oppose the referendum, and five individual objectors. In papers filed with the Board of Elections, Fair Illinois demonstrated that the petitions submitted by PMI were riddled with tens of thousands of invalid signatures. A random sampling by the Board of Elections also found insufficient support presented by PMI. PMI was unable to counter these findings. After being denied a place on the ballot by the Illinois State Board of Elections, the group brought the case to the US Supreme Court arguing that the Illinois requirements were unconstitutional under federal law, leading to today's denial to hear the case by the US Supreme Court.
In addition to Madigan, Fair Illinois and the objectors were represented by Lambda Legal's Director of Constitutional Litigation, Patricia M. Logue, and cooperating attorneys from Jenner & Block LLP (Jeffrey D. Colman, John R. Storino, Adam H. Morse and Erin M. O'Connell) as well as cocounsel Michael J. Kasper of Fletcher Topol O'Brien & Kasper PC and attorney Michael Kreloff.

Location: Crop Improvement and Genetics Research2011 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416)
Determine the genetic basis of wheat end-use properties, specifically the structural attributes of high-molecular-weight glutenins that determine dough strength, the effects of over-expression of gliadins with extra cysteine residues on polymer formation, the types of low-molecular-weight glutenins and gliadins that form the largest and strongest gluten polymers, and the molecular and physiological basis for the increase in grain protein content associated with the presence of a gene introgressed from wild durum wheat. Develop transgenic wheats with high gluten strength whose only non-wheat DNA is a short non-protein-encoding sequence for site-specific recombination.
1b. Approach (from AD-416)
Use molecular biology to make coding regions for expression of variant gluten proteins in wheat. Use genetic transformation to introduce genes encoding variant and natural gluten proteins into wheat. Characterize transgene inheritance using genetics and transgene expression levels using molecular biology, biochemistry, and cereal chemistry. Determine dough mixing properties and gluten polymer characteristics in flours with transgene-encoded gluten proteins. Collaborate to test transgenes for their effects on wheat grain protein content and agronomic traits in field trials. Replacing 5325-21430-011-00D (June/2010).
3. Progress Report
Research continued with the goal of understanding the roles played by wheat seed proteins in the functionality of wheat flours. True-breeding lines were derived from transgenic wheat plants that contain genes designed to test the gluten polymer-building roles of two cysteine amino acids in a glutenin protein that is associated with strong and elastic bread doughs. A collaboration with other ARS researchers showed that the strong-dough characteristics of transgenic wheat lines produced in previous years of the project could be transferred to hard red winter Midwest wheat varieties by genetic crosses. In FY11, the project also showed that the Bxb site-specific recombinase was active in transgenic wheat leaves and can excise DNA from reporter genes that contain its recognition sequences. Collaborative research produced transgenic wheat plants containing 5 different constructions designed to understand and improve wheat's resistance to the stripe rust fungal pathogen. The disease resistance of these plants is currently being evaluated. The knowledge obtained in this research is enabling biotechnologists and breeders to improve wheat end-use properties and disease resistance more efficiently.

Good day to you all, whilst I am new to this site I am far from new to guns and pistols. I have been shooting Bullseye, and International Target events for many years. I also delve into Traditional Muzzleloading to a big extent, and enjoy making noise & smoke---it's also my method of big game hunting as well. In recent years I have become interested in Defensive shooting and carry problems in NYS. I recently began a venture into IDPA after the purchase of an Springfield XD9. I like the heavy side of target shooting and the lighter side of IDPA as it emulates the real thing safely. In current times some areas close to where I live have steadily become more and more deadly with drive-bys and, B&E's and senior citizen beatings. I vowed that I will never allow myself to be beaten by a slug ugly. However all that aside at a very active age of 78 I enjoy myguns and shooting more and more---so many guns....so little time. "Doc"

Celebrity Couples Love the Lakers!
Love was in the air at the Staples Center last night (March 4) as Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis joined Kirsten Dunst and Garrett Hedlund for the Los Angeles Lakers game.
The "Crazy/Beautiful" babe and her "On the Road" hunk had a blast as they watched the action from their courtside seats.
Meanwhile, Mila and Ashton also publicly displayed their affection for each other, ignoring the gawking shutterbugs nearby.
In career news, Kutcher will welcome Kunis to the set of "Two and a Half Men" when she guest stars as Vivian, a young and beautiful world traveler who falls for Walden.

7 Year Old Gets Sea Sick
I go sailing with my 7 year old boy and he always says he feels sick (sea sick I assume). He says it is the smell of the salt in the ocean that makes his stomach upset. Says when the waves hit the side of the boat the salt smell comes out of the water and makes him sick. I ask him why at the beach the smell does not bother him- he says the land takes the smell away. On one trip the seas where rough and wind very strong and he did throw up (along with my wife, me and the dog- everyone but the 4 year old girl- the deck was quite a mess). Since then I make sure to only take him on down wind runs on light air days with small seas to get him back into sailing. His interest has been turned off due to his "sea sickness".
I think it is mostly a mental thing now, but how can I get him to forget about his past bad sea sickness experience and want to go sailing?
I sympathize with your situation. My son has always suffered from motion sickness. Heck, he's 20 now and he can't even drive down a curvy canyon road without getting queezy. About an hour in a car is the max without a break. Took him sailing once & he would never go again.:(
True motion sickness is a condition of the inner ear, it is real and not something imagined. He may or may not grow to adapt to it.
However you and your crew may just have upset stomachs (sp), try and avoid foods that increase acid production; fried foods, animal fats, citrus juice,... and take some tums before leaving dock.
Long way to go but possible

Dear Casey,
I understand your desire to raise his interest for sailing, but as he is obviously prone to seasickness this will take some time and a lot of efforts.
First of all, you could try out excursions to a lake. No sea smell, no waves. Row around with an inflatable, swim and dive in with him, let him have fun at the shore. Next time rent a small sailing boat for half an hour. Let him steer. Make him compliments doing so. If he likes it (and if you followed these advises the chances are good) next time rent the same boat for an hour. Doing this for a whole summer season will change his attitude towards water and boats in general.
Next step could be to visit a well protected bay at the coast with a nice shore to swim. Collect shells with him, let him feed seagulls, let him catch fishes, fry them at the campfire. Let him get used to the surroundings in a way he begins to love all this. If possible let him play around with a small rowing boat. Then continue same like before at the lake.
All this could take two summer seasons. At the end his first bad experiences will be covered (overlaid? sorry for my poor english) by newer and fresher positive rememberings about boats and the sea.
Next step - in the following summer season - could be to change location to a bigger bay area. Do all what you did before in this new surrounding. Rent a bigger sailing boat for some hours, start slowly. Make him proud of being able to handle the boat. If possible take along his friends. Choose the right moments and the right place for making first experiences with waves.
Continue this development. Don´t ever push him. In any stage he should have the feeling that he likes to do all this. It could take years, but at the end he might be the skipper who takes you out for sailing in your old days.
I used to take my own children to summer sailing cruises every year. It wasn´t much sailing though, but it was slowly intensifying their experiences and their love for boats and the sea.
What helped our kids are a motion sickness wristband and stocking the boat with ginger cookies and ginger ale. Seasickness is not something you can control through will alone.
Ginger helps, as does acupressure and staying on deck looking at the horizon. Can he see over the dodger/cabin while seated in the cockpit?
Thanks for advice.
Ever watch Myth Busters? I love those guys and can't believe they get paid to do that stuff! I'd do it for free! Anyways, they did a whole show dedicated to motion sickness. Both the red headed kid with glassed and the oriental fellow were used as guinea pigs, because they are so affected by motion. They tried everything on the market. Most of it is absolute bunk, especially magnetic bracelets. The one thing that worked absolute wonders was ginger root, available in pill form from CVS, GNC, Walmart and the like, for a couple of bucks. Red, who blows just thinking about the motion sickness seat that they made (no really), took the ginger root, then sat in the seat for 5 minutes saying "bring it on!". Without it, 15 seconds and he's blowing chunks. I'm sold. We carry ginger root in the car and on the boat now.
casey, ginger has been researched and confirmed by NASA. Who also point out that something like 1/3 of the meds work for 1/3 of the sufferers 1/3 of the time, there's no universal cure for motion sickness.
Ginger is classed as a "rubefacient" something that makes your skin pink because it is expanding the capillaries. Which in turn increases capillary blood flow and oxygenation and the extra oxygenation is one mechanism to reduce motion sickness. That's why exposure to alcohol, carbon monoxide (tobacco smoke) and diesel fumes all seem to make motion sickness worse, they decrease oxygenation.
The salt smell...he's just seven, he doesn't know what's going on so he tries to rationalize it. There is some lavendar-and-whatever bogus potion that you are supposed to put behind your ears to reduce seasickness, and if part of this is in his head that might help as it indeed changes the smell and lavendar tends to be calming.
Wrist bands that push on the neh-kwan (sp?) point work for some people. And the electric wrist reliever works well enough to be FDA approved for morning sickness. That's probably the most effective non-drug solution other than taking up golf.<G> But it does depend on being positioned very precisely, and then KEPT in position.
Giving him something to keep himself busy, pre-occupied, and eyes out of the boat, all will also help. Good luck!
No, "red head" and "oriental" was the was the easiest way to ID my heroes.

text: Downton Abbey's Laura Carmichael and Lily James: Call the Midwife is not the enemy Despite the Christmas Day ratings showdown, the actresses who play Edith and Rose say they're fans of Jessica Raine and co Comments Written By Radio Times staff 3:46 PM, 31 January 2013 Downton Abbey and Call the Midwife were billed as battling for Christmas Day ratings supremacy at the end of 2012 - but Laura Carmichael and Lily James, who play Lady Edith and Lady Rose in the ITV flagship Downton, say there's no rivalry between the two shows. Speaking to RadioTimes.com at the RT Covers Party, Carmichael said: "These are our friends! The gang that we know. Jessica's gorgeous." "I love the little competition, the enemy warfare [that journalists try to create]!" added James. "But Jessica's wonderful." "It's got nothing to do with any of us," Carmichael said. "They're just people of similar age doing similar jobs. They're our pals!" Carmichael also praised the shows that missed out on a Screen Actors Guild award for outstanding ensemble in a drama series - one of the American gong show's top categories, for which Downton was a surprise winner earlier in the week. "This week we are all on cloud nine," Carmichael enthused. "It's so amazing to be considered among those shows that we all watch: Homeland and Mad Men, it's insane. Insane!" Like this? Share it.

Travel postcard: 48 hours in Madrid
By Chris Michaud
MADRID (Reuters) - Despite its status as a leading European capital, land-locked Madrid has often been overshadowed as a tourist destination by the more glamorously chic Barcelona.
But its appeal to travelers is on the rise, with world class museums and dining, expansive, centrally located parks and first-rate shopping increasingly drawing visitors to its bustling thoroughfares.
Struggling economically, Spain continues to lure tourists and budget-minded travelers can stretch their dollars at hundreds of small, centrally located hotels and cafes that cater to both locals and foreigners serving up surprisingly sophisticated cuisine.
Reuters correspondents with local knowledge help you get the most out of a short stay in this growing tourist destination.
5 p.m. - With a metropolitan area population of more than six million, Madrid is a major city and could seem overwhelming for first-timers. Best to stay in the center of the capital, where affordable hotels such as the Praktik Metropol abound. Airy, modern rooms can be found for $100 a night, sometimes even less, and the location steps off the Gran Via couldn't be better suit to major sites.
5:30 p.m. - Like many Western economies, Spain is struggling. Show your local smarts and save the entry fee at the world famous Prado Museum by lining up for the nightly free admission at 6 p.m. While you'll only have two hours, research which galleries house the artists you most want to see. And as you're in Spain, "local" artists such as El Greco, Goya and Velasquez might be among logical choices.
8:30 p.m. - It's too early for dinner in Spain, where most restaurants don't even open doors until 9. So go with tradition and sample the tapas and libations at Taberna de Antonio Sánchez (Calle de Mesón des Paredes 13), which specializes in local favorites. Continued...

JBR2 FAQ ---Doing your own gears
Topic: Doing Your Own Gears
Written by: _peteyg
__________________________________________________ __________________________
Lots of people ask, "How do I re-gear my vehicle? Can I do it myself? Is it easy?"
The answers are:
First, read THISWhile there is lots of great tech in the gear bible, I do find that I do some things differently, and there are some basic tools that you must have before you start:
Once you have your tools ready, dive in. First you need to take the old gears out.
Step One: Remove the axles
There are several different axle types that you could encounter when doing your gears. In the rear, you will almost always encounter either flanged, c-clip, or full float axles. Each has a different method for being pulled. The only real one that takes special knowledge are c-clip axles (such as a Ford 8.8 or Dana 35). If you are removing c-clip axles, you first have to pull the diff cover and remove the pinion shaft by removing the pinion shaft lock bolt. This bolt uses factory loc-tite, and can be a real PITA. On the Ford and Dana axles, it is a 5/16th 12-point head, and you must use a 12-point socket. I keep a set of small 12-point sockets just for this. Do not use too much force on this bolt. If it breaks, many hours of frustration and heartache will ensue. I find that a small propane torch does the trick to release the loc-tite of I can't get the bolt loose.Step Two: Remove the carrier
In order to remove the carrier, you will need to remove the carrier bearing caps. Before you do this, use the hammer and punch to mark the bearing caps in such a way that you can put them back on the same side and in the same orientation as they came off. I always put one dot at the top of the right side cap and a corresponding dot next to it on the housing, and two dots on the left. Simple and effective.
Step 3: Remove the Pinion Gear
Use the pipe wrench to hang onto the pinion yoke and take the pinion nut off. You can use an impact wrench to remove the pinion nut, but not to install one. You may have to persuade the yoke off the pinion gear. Use the hammer. If you are going to save the gears, do not hit the pinion with the hammer to remove it. First thread the old pinion nut back onto the pinion and THEN hit it to remove it from the housing. This will save the threads. Used gears are worth money, so it's a good idea to try to save them.Step 4: Put the new gears together
4a. Assemble the carrier
4b. Assemble the pinion gearStep 5: Install the new gears in the housing
5a: Install the pinion gear
5b. Install the carrier and ring gear.
Step 6: Re-assemble the axle
Now that your gears are set and you've set your contact pattern, it's time to reassemble the axle. Pull the pinion nut off, douse the yoke threads with red loc-tite, and run the nut back to to 150 ft. lb. Then reinstall the axles, put the wheels on, fill the differential with gear oil (don't forget friction modifier if you're using a limited slip), and go wheeling!ok, guys...pick away! Lets make this a great gear write-up.
If you disagree with a method or have a better way to do something, let me know and I'll adjust the write up accordingly. Remember, this is targeted at the shadetree mechanic, not a gear pro.

I like to make set up bearings out of the old ones. Just grind a little out of the ID and take a little off the pinon race. Also I don't put the crush sleeve in until the very end, just snug the pinion nut for set up. Also another great trick is I cut a small piece of tube and use it in place of the yoke so you don't have to beat the yoke on and off. Just one mans thoughts. Great thread.

ok, I'll bite:
I ended up using a steering wheel puller to pull off the yoke from the pinion Gear. Worked like a charm and very smooth. No wacking or bangin needed when setup properly. I used the used pinion nut for setting up the gears. When all was set up, and ready for final install, thats when I used the brand new pinion nut with ALOT of threadlock.
Take the time to convert your used bearings to set ups. Trust me, it really helps in time and less aggrivation when your on your umpteenth attempt pass at hoping to get that good set up.
Setting up used gears is a royal PITA!!! Not reccomended, especially when attempting your first gear change
A chunk of 2"x4" wood will do wonders when installing the inner pinion race on a D60. Brass drifts for all other works when driving races in.
Keep your area clean and tidy when doing this type of work. Its like performing surgery, the cleaner/organized you are, the easier it is to pay attention and not get lost.
I measered each individual shim and used a marker to write on that shim the thickness of it. Then I made individual stacks of each size. So when came time to adjust, I could make up a thickness stack of choice and continue on. This made the adjustment process easier and quicker.
Use baby oil to thin down the gear marking compound and almost doubling your marking compound supply. It also makes it easier to read.

Before starting verify you have to proper gears (standard cut/reverse cut, thick/thin, ratio). MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A MATCHING SET! This in itself can save you a ton of time, TRUST ME!
Most pinion nuts are distorted thread top lock nuts, always use the old one. Using the new one on intial set-ups can distroy the pinion threads. What I like to do is grind off the top of the OLD nut and put a dab of gear oil on the threads, verify the nut screws on pinion easily prior to installation.
Diluting marking compound is an excellent way to get a good reading, it also is a good idea to wedge in a chunk of wood in between the ring gear and housing. Turn by sliding in a shaft and turn with that.
If the carrier is stuck, one way to get it out is to put a boxed in wrench on a ring gear bolt that is at the bottom of the housing pointing down, and put a wrench on one of the top bolts and turn the top wrench clockwise prying the lower wrench agaisnt the housing. Hope that makes sense!
Once proper pinion pre-load is acheived, I like to tap both sides of the pinion with a brass draft to verify it's fully seated. Then double check pre-load.
Always lube all bearings with gear oil prior to installation.
I personally check B/L and pattern in ~4 DIFFERENT places.
If a crush sleeve is giving you a hard time, eg won't crush with 550 lb/ft, you can start it on a press. Just be careful not to overcrush it!
Using set-up bearings can throw off the final pattern, in my experience ones that are in good shape usually don't. Just make sure to use the finial race's and you should be alright. If you don't have pinion set-up bearings, insteed of beating on the pinion to get it out you can hit the back with a air chisel.
As with everything, the proper tools make a huge difference. Case spreader, clamshell bearing puller, in/lb dial indicator torque wrench, etc.
Be patient, be clean, be neat.

Sorry for bringin back an old thread, but just wanted to say that theses are excellent tips for a newby to gear setup. Does anyone have a preferance on the make of the tool's like the Dial indicator, in lbs torque wrench, digital calipers? ( AKA: Snap On, Mac....ect perferably a cheaper tool than these as I can't afford most of the name brand tools. Thanks Gents.

The financial institution, which in 2006 issued a $7.5 million mortgage to ClassicStar, is asking the United States Bankruptcy Court division housed in Lexington to help it recover more than $1 million in personal and real property it claims is collateral for the loan. ClassicStar, along with other defendants, has been accused in separate civil actions of defrauding investors in its former broodmare lease programs out of upwards to $600 million.
Fifth Third Bank, which claims it is still owed $3 million on the mortgage, recently filed the relief motion after ClassicStar's bankruptcy proceeding was converted from a Chap. 11 business reorganization to a Chap. 7 liquidation in April. The motion asks for the lifting of a statutory automatic stay typical to most bankruptcy cases.
"This is not an extraordinary request," said attorney Robert J. Brown of the Wyatt, Tarrant & Combs law firm, who represents the bank. "This is typical action taken by a secured creditor to recover its collateral when it is clear the borrower is not going to be able to rehabilitate itself."
Among the secured assets Fifth Third Bank seeks are (estimated values per court filings):
* Stallion shares in Speightstown , valued at $40,000; Silver Train, $25,000; and Whywhywhy, $1,000;
* Stallion income from Real Quiet, valued at $79,801; Silver Train, $4,549; Vindication, $2,553; and Our Emblem, $733;
* Keeneland lien proceeds totaling $135,010 from the sale of three unnamed horses;
* Maryland purse account winnings of Smart N Pretty, $46,050;
* Breeders' Incentive Awards held by Kentucky Horse Racing Authority, $160,328;
* Two pieces of Kentucky real estate valued at $580,000.
More than 200 unsecured creditors, some of which are litigants in the separate civil fraud case, originally filed claims of about $1.4 billion in the bankruptcy action. Filed court documents allege ClassicStar liquidated the bulk of assets prior to filing for bankruptcy protection in September 2007, including the partial sale of its Kentucky farm and various horses to Woodford Thoroughbreds.
Plaintiffs in the civil case, which is also being heard in Lexington, claim the alleged fraud was performed by overselling interests in mare-lease packages that also failed to produce promised significant tax breaks to clients. Some defendants are also accused of swapping out price-inflated Quarter Horse matings for Thoroughbred matings, and for exchanging mare programs for energy company stock investments that never came to fruition.
In addition to original ClassicStar principals Tony Ferguson and the father-and-son team of David and Spencer Plummer, a combined group of 30-plus defendants in the civil action include a finance company allegedly affiliated with the Plummers, as well as various individuals and entities involved in financial planning and accounting firms, among others, who allegedly advised various plaintiffs.
The Kentucky civil case, which is a consolidation of at least 18 lawsuits filed in various states, features as plaintiffs mostly former ClassicStar investors who were drawn to the Thoroughbred breeding and racing scene by the company's broodmare lease program.
A separate criminal investigation has been ongoing since the former ClassicStar Farm in Versailles was raided by federal officials in February 2006. The U.S. Attorney's Office has never updated the status of that investigation, but mention of its ongoing nature shows up often in documents filed in the civil case.

Implementing innovation on commercial building projects in Australia
Manley, Karen, Blayse, Aletha M., & Swainston, Mike (2004) Implementing innovation on commercial building projects in Australia. In 'Clients Driving Innovation' International Conference, CRC for Construction Innovation, 25-27 October, Gold Coast, Australia.
|PDF (92kB)
Since the 1950s, economic theory has highlighted the 'central importance of technological progress for maintaining long-term, continuous increases in real national income per head' (Hall 2003, 498). Empirical work since that time has reinforced the importance of innovation to industry growth and national economic welfare. Hence, innovation can be considered a key means of improving construction industry performance. Yet, a recent study of efficiency improvement in construction reminds us that the industry has yet to embrace the value of innovation (Yiu et al 2004). That this is particularly so in the Australian context is evidenced by the findings of the recent Cole Royal Commission (2002b).
The industry in Australia and globally is slow to embrace change and there are powerful cultural reasons why this is so. The reason addressed by this paper is concern by industry participants about the risks associated with innovation and lack of information about appropriate implementation strategies. In order to improve this situation the key players and dynamics behind successful implementation of innovation are explored here.
The paper is based on three innovation case studies in the Australian commercial building industry undertaken in 2003. Each case involves innovation undertaken on a commercial building project by clients, contractors, consultants and/or suppliers.
The paper reviews the industry's performance in Australia, before outlining the methodology and conceptual framework. Data from the case studies is then described and analysed. The evidence presented points to four key participants driving innovation processes; clients, regulators, technical service providers and consultants.

Holiday of Love
Window of Inspiration
Each month, interior designer Cynthia Reed and style-savvy publisher Sonya Bernhardt will collaborate on a window of inspiration, while celebrating a story inspired by the best of culture, cuisine and homegoods.
CELEBRATE VALENTINE'S DAY Whether you're in a romantic relationship or not, this year celebrate the loves in your life. Valentine's Day, the holiday of love, is for all that you love. Our inspiration is a treat of churros y chocolate, a long-standing tradition from Spain. Churros, a crunchy donut-like pastry, gets dunked in a thick and velvety dark chocolate sauce. We set our table with elegant porcelain, light linen, napkins and luscious throw and, most importantly, our friends. We've paired our beautiful chocolate with orange and red, colors of love and warmth. Here are recipes and places where you can indulge.
To purchase Items in the photo:
The Tables and bench are available in any size. wood, and finish. Please contact Bernhardt & Reed for more information.
Linen, throws and napkins are available at Timothy Paul Bedding
For the churros
•3 oz (ounce) caster sugar
•1 tablespoon(s) Ground cinnamon
•4 oz (ounce) Plain flour
•4 oz (ounce) Self raising flour
•1 pinch of sea salt
•2 tablespoon(s) olive oil
•1.76 pint(s) sunflower oil (for frying)
For the chocolate sauce
•7 oz (ounce) dark chocolate (roughly chopped)
•2 oz (ounce) Milk chocolate (roughly chopped)
•2 tablespoon(s) Golden syrup
•10.53 fl oz (fluid ounces) double cream
1. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together and set aside.
2. Make the chocolate sauce. Put all the chocolate in a heavy-bottomed saucepan with the golden syrup and cream and heat over a low heat, stirring continuously, to melt the chocolate, being careful not to let it burn. Alternatively, heat with short bursts in the microwave, stirring between each burst.
3. Sift the flours with a good pinch of salt into a metal or heat-proof bowl and make a well in the center.
4. In a separate bowl, mix the olive oil and 450ml boiling water together, and pour into the well, beating it well with a fork to get rid of any lumps. The dough should be slightly soft and sticky to touch. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
5. Fill a large, heavy bottomed saucepan with the sunflower oil - it should be about one-third full. Heat the oil to 325 F or until a small piece of bread browns in less than 30 seconds.
6. Add the dough to a piping bag with a star- shaped nozzle and squeeze out churros directly into the hot oil, cutting them with a pair of scissors into the length you want. Be careful not to cook more than three at any one time, or they will all stick together. Fry for about 3 to 4 minutes until crispy and golden. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar. Reheat the chocolate sauce and pour into little cups for dipping with the churros.
This recipe comes from Mexican Food Made Simple by Thomasina Miers

Frick Collection Opens New Portico Gallery
The Frick Collection has opened its new, glass-enclosed portico gallery to the public. The gallery is the museum's first major addition in more than 30 years.
The open portico was part of the original Frick mansion built in 1914. Director Ian Wardropper said Henry Clay Frick had wanted to turn it into a gallery, but those plans were put on hold with the outbreak of World War I, and Frick died before he could restart the project.
The Frick mansion is now a New York City landmark, and Wardropper said the museum worked carefully within city guidelines with the architect Davis Brody Bond to make the portico an enclosed space.
"It's been very simply enclosed with a wall of glass that admits natural light, and that's really the beauty of the space," Wardropper said. "And you can look out into the gardens to the magnolia trees and to central park. So it connects the Frick to out of doors and gives us a new interior display space."
Justin Davidson, architecture critic for New York Magazine, said the museum seems to have struck the right balance between its needs and the importance of preserving the building's architecture. He said making use of a pre-existing portico is a good solution.
"That seems like a real win-win for everybody," he said. "That is, it accommodates art ... that hasn't been seen. It allows the public into a part of the building that they hadn't been allowed in, and it preserves the integrity of the portico architecturally, without, you know, creating a whole new wing, or giving it some kind of modernist addition."
The first exhibition in the Frick's new gallery is a collection of Meissen porcelain from the private collection on Henry Ahrnold, who also financed the portico gallery addition. Jean-Antoine Houdon's "The Dead Thrush" and "Diana the Huntress" are on display there, too.

While screens that let you watch 3D without wearing glasses have actually been around in concept form for years, they've never really been more than 'sci-fi' prototypes designed to create a buzz at a show.
That changed dramatically at the CES when Toshiba announced that it will be launching glasses-free, big-screen 3D consumer TVs by next April at the latest.
A few other brands had prototype glasses-less 3D screens on show too, most notably Sony. But Toshiba was the only brand talking about anything coming to market in the remotely near future.
Everyone wants glasses-free 3D, of course. All the manufacturers know that. But the bottom line is that technically, it's extremely difficult to achieve.
The technology currently used is broadly known as autostereoscopy. And as you would expect, it requires the screen to carry some form of optics system that enables different images to arrive simultaneously to each eye.
The most common solution to this problem is to use lenticular lenses. These have a distinctive grooved surface - created by their use of an array of cylindrical lenses - that allows them to subtly adjust the output angle of alternating lines of the picture so that each eye sees a slightly different image.
However, a big catch is that since the lenticular system is so based on optical angles, there's usually a pretty defined 'sweetspot' you have to sit in in order to get a sharp 3D effect.
This is problematic enough if there's just one viewer, but if you add a few more, all viewing from different angles, it becomes a huge issue. Experimenters with lenticular 3D technology have tried to get around this by using perpendicular lenticular sheets, but this makes each viewers' sweet spot even smaller.
Toshiba has come up with an interesting extra innovation here, though. For its take is to replace each single pixel in the image with nine pixels, with each pixel designed to serve a different viewing point - giving you support for up to nine different 3D viewing positions.
Another glasses-free 3D technology that Sharp has been playing with is the so-called parallax barrier system. This uses switchable liquid crystals that can be used to control the direction that light emerges from an LCD panel. So the image arriving at each eye can be individually controlled by modulating the liquid crystal 'barrier'. We're seeing no signs, however, that this approach is as close to becoming a commercial reality as the lenticular method.
The 'killer app' of glasses-free 3D TVs is, of course, that you don't need to wear glasses to enjoy 3D. But to be honest, nothing we've seen so far - and this includes the early Toshiba samples on show at the CES - makes the advantage of not wearing glasses trump the technology's major flaws.
First, we've found glasses-free 3D pictures generally looking rather soft and blurred. Second, unless you use a really high-resolution screen - ideally 4k2k minimum - and extremely fine lenticular lenses, you are going to lose a significant amount of resolution versus an active 3D glasses system. Third, the 3D effect can break down if you're not viewing it from within a pretty small area. And finally, you can clearly see vertical seams in the picture if you move around much at all while watching a lenticular 3D screen.
Again, to be fair, Toshiba has also introduced new technology in its large glasses-free 3D TVs that softens these seams, so they're a bit less in your face. But even sudden appearance of a stripe of vertical blurring if you move your head to the wrong place is still mightily distracting.
For all these reasons, we really have our doubts about the quality of Toshiba's glasses-free 3D ground-breakers. And tellingly, the two small glasses-free 3D TVs Toshiba has launched in Japan have sold unexpectedly poorly.
In fact, we have our doubts that glasses-free 3D will EVER become a reality - at least using any of the technologies currently being used. But it will nonetheless be interesting to see if Toshiba's bold move accelerates the move of others along the glasses-free road.
Right, that's it for 3D display technologies. Next week we'll look at the different 3D source formats that are out there, and what part they might play in the eventual outcome of the 3D display war we've been looking at today.

Going House
Going House
The average person moves house several times in their lifetime. This majestic click here paper has uncountable tasteful tips for the meaning behind it. Identify new resources on this affiliated paper by going to space for keeping stuff. Going for a job, more space, or even a change of scenery, its one of the most stressful, and rewarding times for many people. My friend discovered extra space storage by browsing webpages. From moving a few doors down, to across a country, moving house is among the most critical things, and sometimes the hardest to arrange.
From collecting items - buying boxes and tape, to providing your house up, cleaning and moving to your brand-new home, its an experience for all involved. Little and home offices can also be often very interesting to move - a brand new area for local consumers and a problem for people that run companies online, so its important to plan appropriately and ensure that you have made plans to address your-self through the move. Your small-office will be the last thing you actually pack entirely, but you can start by washing through your paperwork and ensuring everything you've got has storage - if you run a craft business or have a hobby that takes up space, its often good practice, as soon as you've heard you'll be going, to start cleaning and boxing up your low essential materials.
It will take careful planning to move home, but you may do therefore via the net at http://movingplan.com or http://helpiammoving.com - two great websites that help you prepare your move and give you an idea how to start. To check up additional information, please consider checking out: space for storing. In order that you are as organized as possible - most of all, you have to start planning as soon as you know you are moving.
Whether you're selling your house or moving due to a newborn, need for more, or less space, because you are renting and need to move on, or are likely to let your personal house and move in-to another one - moving can be stressful....but it can even be a great deal of fun..

Kris Bright sent in the Espruino Pico Kickstarter campaign, which is a new version of Espruino designed to run on smaller hardware. It will use a slightly modified version of the Espruino software, and they have prototype hardware so you should factor that in if you're thinking about pledging support.
This project is currently fully funded -- the goal was £15,000 but they've got £21,073 at the time of writing.
One novel feature of the Pico is it works with a standard USB port, so you can run JavaScript on it without any soldering or breadboards. And because the hardware is smaller it should use less power: the creators have claimed 10 years on a single AA-sized 3v lithium battery.
If you pledge £79 or more, then you'll receive a "Geek's Toy Kit". This should include some cool modules that are compatible with the Espruino Pico, like an LCD screen.
I've got an Espruino and the thing that's most fun about it is getting code to work with sensors and hardware like motors and screens, so if you're interested in the Pico I recommend either plumping for the Geek's Toy Kit or finding out how to use your own electronics with it.

- Americans that are poor have to live off handouts
What are they going to live off of then if they can't afford the basics of life (food, shelter, healthcare)?
- As a result the poor will vote for those offering more handouts
Perhaps they aren't voting for "handouts," as you so disparagingly call them, but a temporary hand up that will allow them to better themselves and attain greater wealth and self sufficiency.
- Democrats offer more handouts
See "hand up" above.
- Poor vote democrat
Because they understand who's policies are offering them a substantive support in times of need and a real hand up rather than a vague and increasingly empty "trickle down" hope and promise.
It annoys me that it is the assumption that the general public on the lower end of the financial end of the scale think in that fashion. I vote on PRINCIPLE and fundamental core BELIEFS regarding what is better for AMERICA... NOT MYSELF. I'd like to think there are other like minded individuals that can vote for things other than what benefits their pocket.
Perhaps they don't think in that disdainful fashion, seeing the various social services and supports as "hand outs," but rather as important social nets and supports to allow them to move up and become more productive and contributing members of our society. Given that perspective, they are voting out of principal rather than callous self-centeredness and believe those social programs and supports are better for America more broadly and in the longer term.
Would you, with similar callousness, consider upper income people voting for lower tax rates for themselves simply also to be acting out of self-centered greed to line their own pockets too? Or do such cynical motivations whither away above a certain net worth?

STETSONS and brass buttons lined up on double-breasted, toy soldier jackets; gold hoop earrings and rara flamenco ruffles – can you guess what it is yet?
Styled up, as ever, as a bucking bronco razzmatazz of a show complete with little drummer girls in mustard or bright red miniskirt suits (not carrying drums – they were just on the sound track), and double breasted cashmere coats with rows of more bright gold buttons to match the chains of quilted leather handbags, Moschino's autumn/winter 2012-13 show this morning was as cheerful and upbeat as we've come to expect.
The thing is with Moschino, though, that all this styling rarely reflects the delightfully feminine and well fitting clothes that end up in the shops. Of course the signature house eccentricity makes for elaborate and humorous windows much of the time, but beyond that there are often pretty clothes to be had – perfect day-to-night dresses, well-tailored coats and elegant, just-unusual-enough evening wear with some kitsch accessories alongside.
Today the house was determined to put on a parade, however, so we saw black, red and white ski pants with cropped jackets of fur or leather – the latter featuring the big house heart signature were it to be fastened at the front.
Coats and miniskirt suits with bright gold metal ware came in red, white, purple or black, some dresses to match featuring swingy skirts of marabou.
There was Twenties sass to low-waisted cocktail dresses in cream tweed with black chiffon details, or others that came smothered in silvery embellishment or flickered by in black and white houndstooth. High-necked and sleeveless, there were more about the Moschino we love to wear.
Marabou or tulle bonnets took the styling too far – but it was bright, well-constructed and, as ever, left not a stone unturned when it came to having fun.

Connie Doto Realty Unscrupulous Methuen Massachusetts
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Do not buy any homes or do any type of business with Diana Pinkham one of the realtors at Connie Doto. She is the most unscrupulous person. About 3 months ago she went to my home and blatantly lied to my face. She told me the owners wanted to renovate so that they could sell the house. I showed her around the house. She harassed me every other day asking if I had found a new place to live. She displaced my children and I of where we lived.
