Interpretive Summary: The entomopathogenic fungus Isaria fumosorosea (Ifr), holds some promise as a management tool for a number of citrus pests including Asian citrus psyllid, Diaprepes root weevil, leafhoppers, and aphids. These insects were susceptible to Ifr under laboratory conditions. Psyllids appeared most susceptible with the earliest mortality 2 days post-treatment and 100 percent mortality by day 8. During this time period, psyllid feeding was reduced. Leafhopper adults showed increasing mortality by day 3 with 100 percent at 15 days post treatment. The glassy-winged sharpshooter leafhopper showed similar rates of mortality during the same time period, with 100 percent at 15 days post treatment. All aphids treated with Ifr died by 15-20 days post treatment. Ifr was effective against Diaprepes root weevil, although 100 percent mortality of treated weevils did not occur until 35 days post-treatment. Ifr may provide an additional biological control agent to be used in current pest reduction programs.
Technical Abstract: Use of entomopathogenic fungi, Isaria fumosorosea, Ifr, =Paecilomyces fumosoroseus, successfully increased insect pest mortality. Spraying the Ifr containing product, PFR97 TM, on citrus seedlings was used to screen efficacy for the management of Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri; glassy-winged sharpshooter leafhopper, Homalodisca vitripennis; citrus aphids, Toxoptera citricida and a coleopteran, Diaprepes root weevil. The three hemipteran insects (psyllid, leafhopper, aphid) and coleopteran all were susceptible to infection. Psyllids appeared most susceptible to PFR97 with the earliest mortality observed 2 days post-treatment, with 100 percent mortality by day eight. During this time period, psyllid feeding was reduced as evidenced by the reduction of honeydew droplets. Leafhopper adults showed increasing mortalities by day 3 with 100 percent at 15 days post treatment. The glassy-winged sharpshooter leafhopper nymphs showed similar rates of mortalities during the same time period, with 100% by 15 days post treatment. Aphids showed 100 percent mortality at 15-20 days post treatment. Within all hemipteran control groups, mortality was 3 percent or less over the same time period. For the coleopteran weevil which has a larger body size, thicker cuticular layer control groups had 13 percent mortality by 15 days post-treatment reaching a maximum of 33 percent at 35 days, while fungal treated weevils showed 100 percent mortality at 35 days post exposure. The Ifr spray product, PFR97 TM, demonstrated potential to reduce citrus insect pests and may provide an additional biological control agent programs.

About Queen Lydia Kamakaʻeha Kaola Maliʻi Liliʻuokalani
From Lost Kingdom written by Julia Flynn Siler
Queen Lili'uokalani was born in a grass house in 1838 and adopted by Hawai'i's then ruling Kamehameha dynasty, Lili'u (pronounced Lee-lee-ooh), as she was known by intimates, was a fervent patriot and the last queen of Hawai'i.
From Wikipedia:
Born Lydia Lili'u Loloku Walania Wewehi Kamaka?eha, she was the last monarch and only queen regnant of the Kingdom of Hawai?i. She was also known as Lydia Kamaka?eha Paki, with the chosen royal name of Lili'uokalani, and she was later named Kaolupoloni K. Dominis.
Queen Liliuokalani was the last reigning monarch of the Hawaiian islands. She felt her mission was to preserve the islands for their native residents. In 1898, Hawaii was annexed to the United States and Queen Liliuokalani was forced to give up her throne.
Queen Liliuokalani was deposed by the advocates of a Republic for Hawaii in 1893. She was born in Honolulu to high chief Kapaakea and the chiefess Keohokalole, the third of ten children. Her brother was King Kalakaua. Liliuokalani was adopted at birth by Abner Paki and his wife Konia. At age 4, her adoptive parents enrolled her in the Royal School. There she became fluent in English and influenced by Congregational missionaries. She also became part of the royal circle attending Kamehameha IV and Queen Emma.
Liliuokalanie married a ha'ole, John Owen Dominis on September 16, 1862. Dominis would eventually serve the monarchy as the Governor of O'ahu and Maui. They had no children and according to her private papers and diaries, the marriage was not fulfilling. Dominis died shortly after she assumed the throne, and the queen never remarried.
Upon the death of her brother, King Kalakauam Liliuokalani ascended the throne of Hawaii in January 1891. One of her first acts was to recommend a new Hawaii constitution, as the "Bayonet Constitution" of 1887 limited the power of the monarch and political power of native Hawaiians. In 1890, the McKinley Tariff began to cause a recession in the islands by withdrew the safeguards ensuring a mainland market for Hawaiian sugar. American interests in Hawaii began to consider annexation for Hawaii to re-establish an economic competitive position for sugar. In 1893, Queen Liliuokalani sought to empower herself and Hawaiians through a new constitution which she herself had drawn up and now desired to promulgate as the new law of the land. It was Queen Liliuokalani's right as a sovereign to issue a new constitution through an edict from the throne. A group led by Sanford B. Dole sought to overthrow the institution of the monarchy. The American minister in Hawaii, John L. Stevens, called for troops to take control of Iolani Palace and various other governmental buildings. In 1894, the Queen, was deposed, the monarchy abrogated, and a provisional government was established which later became the Republic of Hawaii.
In 1893, James H. Blount, newly appointed American minister to Hawaii, arrived representing President Grover Cleveland. Blount listened to both sides, annexationists and restorationists, and concluded the Hawaiian people aligned with the Queen. Blount and Cleveland agreed the Queen should be restored. Blount's final report implicated the American minister Stevens in the illegal overthrow of Liliuokalani. Albert S. Willis, Cleveland's next American minister offered the crown back to the Queen on the condition she pardon and grant general amnesty to those who had dethroned her. She initially refused but soon she changed her mind and offered clemency. This delay compromised her political position and President Cleveland had released the entire issue of the Hawaiian revolution to Congress for debate. The annexationists promptly lobbied Congress against restoration of the monarchy. On July 4, 1894, the Republic of Hawaii with Sanford B. Dole as president was proclaimed. It was recognized immediately by the United States government.
In 1895, Liliuokalani was arrested and forced to reside in Iolani Palace after a cache of weapons was found in the gardens of her home in Washington Place. She denied knowing of the existence of this cache and was reportedly unaware of others' efforts to restore the royalty. In 1896, she was released and returned to her home at Washington Place where she lived for the next two decades. Hawaii was annexed to the United States through a joint resolution of the U. S. Congress in 1898 . The "ex-"queen died due to complications from a stroke in 1917. A statue of her was erected on the grounds of the State Capital in Honolulu.
In 1898 Hawaii was finally annexed by the United States, and in 1900 it became a U.S. territory. On August 21, 1959 it became the 50th American state. In 1993 Congress and President Clinton formally apologized for the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii.
Liliʻuokalani (Hawaiian pronunciation: [liliˌʔuokəˈlɐni]; September 2, 1838 – November 11, 1917), born Lydia Liliʻu Loloku Walania Wewehi Kamakaʻeha, was the last monarch and only queen regnant of the Kingdom of Hawaii. She was also known as Lydia Kamakaʻeha Pākī, with the chosen royal name of Liliʻuokalani, and her married name was Lydia K. Dominis.
Liliʻuokalani was born on September 2, 1838 to the High Chiefess Analea Keohokālole and High Chief Caesar Kaluaiku Kapaʻakea. In accordance with the Hawaiian tradition of hānai, she was adopted at birth by Abner Pākī and his wife Laura Kōnia. Liliʻuokalani's childhood years were spent studying and playing with her foster sister Bernice Pauahi, the Pākīs' natural daughter.
The Premier Elizabeth Kīnaʻu had developed an eye infection at the time of Liliʻu's birth. She gave her the names Liliʻu (smarting[1]), Loloku (tearful[2]), Walania (a burning pain[3]), and Kamakaʻeha (sore eyes). Liliʻu's brother changed it when he named her Crown Princess, calling her Liliʻuokalani, "the smarting of the royal ones".[4]
Liliʻuokalani received her education at the Chiefs' Children's School (later known as the Royal School), and became fluent in English. She attended the school with her two older brothers James Kaliokalani and David Kalākaua. Liliʻuokalani was one of 15 children.
On September 16, 1862, Liliʻuokalani married John Owen Dominis, who became Governor of Oʻahu and Maui. Her marriage to Dominis was an unhappy match. He was unfaithful to her and had many affairs, a fact that family friend and royal physician Georges Phillipe Trousseau tried to hide from her, but in 1882 Dr. Trousseau had to inform her that one of her household retainers was pregnant with her husband's son. Liliʻuokalani first reaction was to attempt to claim the child as her own, and making him in line to the throne, to spare her husband the embarrassment. She understood this was illegal and would undermine the integrity of the monarchy, but she wanted to protect her husband.[5]
Although Liliʻuokalani's named successor was her niece Princess Kaʻiulani (1875–99), Kaʻiulani predeceased her. Liliʻuokalani had three hānai children: Lydia Kaʻonohiponiponiokalani Aholo; Kaiponohea ʻAeʻa, the son of a retainer; and John Aimoku Dominis, her husband's illegitimate son.[

Thanks for the candid input. I will certainly look at replacing the cam.
All the cams that you suggested are marked as idle starting at 1500 through 5500 (roughly). What exactly does this mean?
One thing I do want to avoid is rough idle and/or having to raise the idle well over my present 800 RPM to keep the car running.
I do appreciate your input, especially since I know so little about the subject. But maybe it would help if I gave you a little more detail aboiut the car and what I hope to accomplish.
It is a '68 Camaro Convertible with a '68 327 motor - bored 40 over.
Has a Edelbrock Perfromer Intake(not RMP, not AIR Gap)
Automatic Transmission: 700r4 with a 2200 (or 2400 can't remember) stall
10 bolt Eaton Posi with 3.36 gears
Doug Thorley Tri-Y headers (1 5/8" primaries)
600 CFM Holley with vac secondaries
Electronic Ignition
Stock rad, stock waterpump
High output oil pump.
Will be changing stock heads - double hump 291 (with the smaller valves) to:
AFR - 916 (with 2.02 valves and lighter springs to match flat tappet cam, .550 max spring lift)
Airflow Research (AFR) 0916 - AFR 180cc SBC Eliminator Street Heads - Overview - SummitRacing.com
Scorpion 1.6 roller rockers
My objective is to maintain a well behaved, strictly "street" car that does NOT have an offensive idle. At the same time, I would like a litte more perfromance than I have today. (Specifically I am after some better low end torque and better off the line response.)
BTW I installed Hotchkis Frame connectors to stiffen the body.
With that in mind, would these still be the recommended cam?
Thanks again!

Cote de Pablo's upcoming exit from "NCIS" has upset some fans of the CBS television program, now entering its eleventh season, but Michael Weatherly knows that the show will be able to carry on.
"We, as 'NCIS,' have survived explosions, terrorists, the plague... a lot of crazy stuff has gone on and the one thing that we always do is we get better," Michael recently told AccessHollywood.com's Laura Saltman at CBS' post-Television Critics Association Summer Tour bash in Beverly Hills.
"I find these things propel us to new creativity. ... We all love Lauren Holly and we still love Lauren Holly," Michael continued, referring to the actress who played the original NCIS director (Jenny Shepard). "But this guy, [Rocky Carroll, who plays Director Leon Vance]... this is what happens. And I say this hoping that nobody kills me [off]!"
WATCH IT NOW: Michael Weatherly, Pauley Perrette & Rocky Carroll On Cote De Pablo's 'NCIS' Departure
CBS boss Leslie Moonves told reporters recently that they offered Cote "a lot of money, and then, we offered her even more money" to stay, but in the end, she decided to go.
Cote explained it was a hard decision to say goodbye to playing Ziva David in a new interview with Latina magazine.
PHOTOS: Mark Harmon & The Stars Of 'NCIS'
"It was not an easy decision, not one taken lightly. I feel like I am leaving my family," she told the mag.
"What I want to say most of all is thank you to the fans and to the people who have been so supportive of me and of the show, who have made the show the great success that it is," she added.
Pauley Perrette, who plays Caf-Pow-chugging Abby on the show, told Laura at the CBS event that the cast will miss their co-star.
"We love her and it's very hard to have your co-actor, and for your character, to have another character leave," Pauley said. "And we all love her and she loves us and there was actually no drama."
WATCH IT NOW: Cote De Pablo On 'NCIS' Success & Her Passionate Screen Kiss Surprise
But, fans will see Ziva again. Michael confirmed Cote will appear in the show's season premiere, and Pauley said Ziva will be in Episode 2 of the new season.
"There are a lot of surprises," Michael added.
"NCIS" returns for Season 11 on September 24 at 8/7c on CBS.

Marriage is a revelation; or, better said, a series of revelations. And a Christ-Follower, whether married or single, is greatly helped when they discover how much our spiritual union with Christ is like a good marriage. As a matter of fact, Paul the apostle encouraged his readers to make the connection and to ponder it when he said that the "object lesson" of marriage is "a profound mystery (Eph. 5:32a)." Let's consider the mystery.When love captures two hearts they both find out soon that there is much to discover. … [Read more...]

Jennifer Lopez Wins 2011 American Music Award for Favorite Latin Music Artist
The quintuple threat Jennifer Lopez (actress/singer/dancer/designer/TV judge) upset two artists that she has collaborated with — Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull — when she won the 2011 American Music Award for Favorite Latin Music Artist.
"I didn't expect to win, hold on," Lopez said once she made it to the stage. But she wasn't flustered. She's J. Lo and she is always composed. La Lopez thanked God first and then went on to say, "It's been an amazing year in so many ways. It's been up and down, exciting and overwhelming, so many things."
Like a return to superstardom via 'American Idol' and a subsequent divorce from Marc Anthony? It has been quite a roller coaster year for J. Lo, but she always handles herself with grace and class, doesn't she? She always looks absolutely drop-dead gorgeous, too.
Lopez, wearing a one-sleeved, black lace dress with nude underlay and her hair slicked back into a tight bun, finished her speech, saying, "I want to thank my family most of all, my beautiful babies who inspire me to be a better person."
Congrats on the big win, J. Lo.

Is this really a 'great inversion' or is this just gentrification? Or is it urban revitalization? And what are the differences between these three ideas? This is something that I feel Ehrenhalt could have addressed more. I wish he also had gone into more of the planning of these metropolitan areas, rather than just the demographic shifts. One of the more interesting points he made was how Houston's lack of zoning makes it able to respond more quickly to demands caused by the "great inversion". He also failed to have any mention really of the participatory planning and intercultural understanding (or lack there of) in his example cities. Ehrenhalt did make a convincing connection between growing suburban immigration and community development. However, he did not talk very much about what sort of planning and policy interventions these populations were supporting or opposing.
I also wished Ehrenhalt had gone into more detail on the connection between different types of transportation and urban revitalization. One of the unintentional consequences of transportation systems is the huge impact it can have on the demographics of the metropolitan area it serves. For example, after the interstate system was created it greatly contributed to both congestion and "white flight" to the suburbs. Public transportation, especially subways, is a main economic driver in the Boston metropolitan region. Saying "no" to more highways in the 60s and 70s likely saved many local economies.
One can see some of the effects of this demographic inversion happening in Boston and its inner suburbs. There are close similarities between Boston's gentrified South End and Sheffield (Chicago). Both were once run-down, and now it is all but impossible to find affordable low- to middle-class housing in these neighborhoods. The story of Cleveland Heights in the middle of this demographic inversion reminds me of Somerville. Like Cleveland Heights, Somerville has a diverse range of ethnicities and income levels. It has both high end and low end jobs. It's quirky and supports a thriving artist scene. It also has a struggling public school system, with middle and upper-income residents preferring to send their children to private schools. The incoming green line, and commercial corridor revitalization will likely only increase housing values further. This is both good and bad, of course. In all likelihood, it will loose some of its diversity as residents who can't afford the higher property tax will leave and others can no longer afford to move in.

Men's Tennis Rolls on Saturday
Jan. 19, 2013
TUSCON, Ariz. – The University of Nevada men's tennis team collected eight wins en route to a 7-0 victory over Northern Arizona on Saturday.
The Wolf Pack (2-0) kept its momentum rolling by picking up their second victory of the week, as they steamrolled Northern Arizona in their dual match. In doubles play, the Pack notched two victories to secure the doubles point. The team of Quentin Mege and Moez Echargui scored the first victory by cruising past the team of Patrick Schimmelbauer and Kester Black by a score of 8-2. Newcomers Robert Allan and Andrew Poustie also continued their winning ways, as they earned a 8-5 victory over Alan Barrios and Dominic Bermudez. Even in securing the doubles point, head coach Erik Burton wasn't quite satisfied with the play he saw.
"Doubles was tough today, but we pulled out the win," Burton said. "We definitely need to improve in doubles."
It was a much different story for singles play however, as some Pack players were able to jump out in front of matches by winning the first set and finishing off their opponents quickly. Co-captain Victor Ouvrard was victorious in his singles match against Shaun Waters in straight sets 6-2, 6-1. Other co-captain Mege was able to roll in his match against Robert Martin 6-2, 6-0, while Echargui found a similar as he also came away with a 6-2, 6-0 victory over Patrick Schimmelbauer. Allan also continued his winning ways in his short collegiate career, as he posted a victory in straight sets 6-3, 6-0 over Kester Black.
Not every match was easy on Saturday, as there were also two nailbiters for the Pack in singles play. Fernando Sunago battled against Bermudez before he was able to secure the victory 3-6, 7-5, 1-0 in a 10-point tiebreaker. Philip Hinijosa also needed a 10-point tiebreaker in his match against Alan Barrios before he came away with a 5-7, 6-4, 1-0 victory.
"Our entire lineup played well and we look forward to the battle tomorrow with a very tough Arizona Wildcat team," Burton said.
That match will be begin at 11 A.M. on Sunday, Jan. 20.

Whenever someone is described as "a major new voice", wary listeners reach for the earplugs and brace themselves for a blaring onslaught of iconoclastic grunge. Yet fear not. New York's latest hot-guitar gunslinger is not that radical at all. He's quite mainstream, in fact.
To begin with, Jonathan Kreisberg plays a good old-fashioned deep-bodied Gibson 175 semi-acoustic, mainly using a clean amplified tone, spiced sparingly with a modicum of synth-overdrive or reverb. All of his most distinctive effects were produced by natural fingering skills, and he played solos which actually had a start, a middle and an end.
Whereas lesser guitarists make a handful of repetitive speed-licks last all evening, Kreisberg takes pains to avoid clichés. His creative lines had an airy, free-flowing quality more associated with good saxophone players. Backed by an excellent US group in which expat Londoner Will Vinson doubled expertly on piano and alto sax, Kreisberg performed several strong originals.
One, the outstanding waltz theme, Being Human, was inspired by his audiences. "As touring musicians we see people at their best," he explained. "Except for sections of the airline industry, of course." Recommended.

What is Your Favorite Book Title?
I have seen books go through twenty tentative titles before a final title was finally chosen, and it's often an agonizing choice. There's a reason for that: a great title can really capture a reader's attention and can separate a book from the pack. Although they're great books that suceeded on their own merits, no doubt titles like HEARTBREAKING WORK OF STAGGERING GENIUS, SPECIAL TOPICS IN CALAMITY PHYSICS and THE RELUCTANT FUNDAMENTALIST helped set those books apart.
So you tell me: you don't have to have read the book or even liked it, but what is your favorite book title of all time? As always, you can only pick one. Why? Because I'm mean. (And it's more fun that way.)

I searched my bookshelves and the one that jumped out at me was Ally Carter's I'D TELL YOU I LOVE YOU BUT THEN I'D HAVE TO KILL YOU. It's perfect for the book.

Nathan, I think you should change the title of this post to:
What is Your Favorite Book Title? You Tell Me
It flows better. Just some friendly advice.
- June 6, 2007 at 1:30 PM

Thanks for the suggestion. It's a weekly feature called You Tell Me, so I like to tip off people that it means they need to leave their Bloglines bubble and come and comment. Sometimes it reads well, sometimes it's awkward, but who am I to change my own arbitrarily decided features?

Hypocrite in a White Poofy Dress; tales of growing up groovy and clueless.
It was just as much fun to read as the title would suggest, too.
- June 6, 2007 at 1:54 PM
Elvis, Jesus, and Coca Cola. When you add "by Kinky Friedman" then, my friends, you have a great book title.
- June 6, 2007 at 1:55 PM
My current one: Ancient Rome on Five Denarii a Day.
Hilarious spoof on travel books, and it has some darn good stuff in it, too.
- June 6, 2007 at 1:56 PM
It's got irreverance, scope, and it is intriguing. It is a very fitting title for the book.

Nathan, all you need is a Crapometer to rule the known universe.
That was a compliment, by the way, in case you decide to be slow again.

Hmm... how about HE SAID, SHE SHOUTED LOUDLY? Well, technically that's not a book -- but it should be. I think that title is just hilarious.
As to actual books... I suppose I'll say I AM LEGEND by Richard Matheson. Talk about an evocative title, especially once you learn what the topic is and what the title actually means.

Lewis Grizzard was a beloved Southern humorist. His syndicated column originated from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He left a legacy of columns and books, as well as recordings of some of his public appearances. Lewis occasionally sat on Johnny Carson's couch and guested on Designing Women. We lost years more smiles and laughs when he expired at 49 following the fourth surgery aimed at resolving a congenital heart problem. Many of his book titles were stories in and of themselves. My favorite was SHOOT LOW, BOYS – THEY'RE RIDIN' SHETLAND PONIES. Another good one was CHILI DAWGS ALWAYS BARK AT NIGHT. He wrote one about sex. It was called DON'T BEND OVER IN THE GARDEN, GRANNY, YOU KNOW THEM TATERS GOT EYES. Being the good old Southern boy that he was, Lewis replaced all of the "dirty" words in that one with the term "woo woo."

Ooh, may I vote for another? When I said goodbye to Miss Snark (after groveling and begging her not to sign off) I used "So Long and Thanks for all the Fish" as my adieu. That's another fabulous title.

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JESUS CHRIST by Jose Saramago
The title is as provocative as the novel itself. As a side effect, it also does a great job of filtering the audience. In other words, people who are likely to be offended by the book most probably won't even pick it up.

Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy
wins hands down as my favorite title of all time

My all-time favorite book title is from a self-help book my mom had in the 70s. I never read it, but, you gotta admit that IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING, YOU'LL PROBABLY END UP SOMEPLACE ELSE is a heckuva good title.
My second favorite book title is from a kids' book in the Bunnicula series: THE CELERY STALKS AT MIDNIGHT. Great stuff.
Then, the one that caught my eye on the library shelf. I read it, and it was hilarious: THE PIRATES! IN AN ADVENTURE WITH THE COMMUNISTS!

My brother thinks In the Electric Mist with Confederate Dead (James Lee Burke) is the best title ever. Me, I keep wanting to put "the" in between "with" and "Confederate".
But that also reminds me that I think Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is a fab title, even though I've only seen "Blade Runner" and never got around to reading Philip K. Dick's original book.
Obviously, long quirky titles that make you wonder what on earth the book could possibly be about (and yet give you just enough of a clue to be intriguing) are the big grabber for me.

To Girl-in-boy-clothes:
The word LOLITA became synonymous with a provocative young female only AFTER Nabokov had written it. So, at the time he titled his novel, it was merely a female given name. Guess you know your title has really succeeded when it passes into the common lingo.

I don't think STUPID WHITE MEN does quite sum up the Bush administration.... You wouldn't want to leave out a certain stupid black female, and a certain stupid Latino male, would you? In fact, the Bush administration has a pretty good record in terms of hiring stupid people of all sexes and ethnicities.

GedNav - Perl extension for quick (& dirty) navigation of GEDCOM files
use GedNav; blah blah blah
GedNav is a set of perl modules for navigating a GEDCOM file quickly. The intent was to make it fast enough for CGI purposes, on large GEDCOM files.
I have not yet included the code for the report objects I've written (outline & register so far), except for the example code in outline.pl.
I've also not included the Apache::GedNav stuff I've written. That'll probably come in a separate lump, when the time comes.

Barcelona will still be strong on Tuesday night according to Arsène Wenger, despite being without three key players.
Centre-back duo Carlos Puyol and Gerald Pique are both suspended while Zlatan Ibrahimovic is injured.
However, Wenger does not believe that will make Arsenal's task any easier in the Champions League Quarter-Final second leg.
"I don't think they have any reason to speculate on any weakness when you look at the opportunities and possibilities they have to get over the suspensions," he said.
"They have plenty of opportunities, plenty of centre-backs still available. I believe it is more important to focus on our side and how well we want to play."
Ibrahimovic sustained a calf injury during the warm-up ahead of Barcelona's 4-1 win over Athletic Bilbao on Saturday and has been ruled out of Tuesday's match.
That could mean Thierry Henry plays a larger part in the second leg than he did in last week's 2-2 draw at Emirates Stadium.
However, having seen their win over Bilbao, Wenger is not expecting to see his former striker start at the Nou Camp.
"It can happen," he admitted. "But it doesn't look at the moment that they go for this solution because in their last game they played Bojan so I am not completely sure they will go for Thierry.
"But it could happen that he plays against us tomorrow night. You could have Campbell v Henry again - that I have seen so many times in training sessions."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Cabin air filter for '01 ZX3?
Hello, I'm getting frustrated. All I want is a cabin air filter for my 01 ZX3 and i can't find one! Been to auto part stores, mechanic AND dealer and the part # is the same as the one my mechanic said was too "fat" to fit in the spot for it.
All kinds of debris gets into the cabin thru the vents and makes keeping dash (and my lungs) clean impossible :-/. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.
my 03 LX didn't have one. I jammed one in the hole though and made it fit. lol.
Ford put a plastic tray in place of a cabin filter. Make sure that was removed before the mechanic tried to install the new filter.
What he said. It will fit.
I just did this today in my 2003.
It had a plastic screen covering where the filter should go, you do not re-install that screen if using a paper filter. It was a snug fit, but didn't require any mashing of the filter element.
I didn't take a pic during the install, but here is that plastic screen sitting on top of the box that the NAPA brand filter came in.
Thanks everyone for your replies. I hope my mechanic was smart enough to take the plastic piece out first! If not, he's fired.
I'm pretty sure he did. I'll try the part # on the pic of the box and if it doesn't fit,
I'll try to MAKE it fit. Again thanks. Can't wait to get this over with so I can do some fun mods :)

rear suspesion for street course racing?
im building up my 70 mustang, and i want to know what you guys think for a rear suspension. It's not really a drag car, I would rather have it handle really well on the street. Maybe do some slalom with it, i don't know. But i want it geared more to cornering then straight line.
It has a Ford 9" rear.
Is a 4-link good for this, or is that more for straight line?
While 4 links are quite popular, a 2/3 link will give the same results without the loose roll steer. Roll steer can be an affective tool if used and driven properly.
In agreement with the KISS principle, I'd use that which is so successful at your local roundy-round track: 3link with Panhard. If you merely copied the geometry of the 2005 Mustang, you couldn't go too far wrong. Personally, I'd want to offset the upper link to the right to gain cancelation of the driveshaft torque, but that's just my personal preference.
You certainly wouldn't want the dragstrip 4link, with solid attachment to the axle housing, as this causes binding during cornering (unless the links are parallel, as viewed from the side). You could go to a triangulated 4link, but that's a lot of work and really offers no advantage over the 3link and Panhard (the KISS principle again). If you're considering some kind of kit, I suppose you could use Morrison's 4bar. Most install this with the bars parallel to the ground, which results in a lot of squat during launch, but, if you angle them up at a tangent equal to the CG height divided by the wheelbase, you can eliminate the squat. And, of course, the parallel arrangement also avoids binding.
But, again, I'd follow the lead of the Ford design team and use a 3link with Panhard.
3 link
That is the way I am going on my project..the lower links are outboard about where the leaf springs used to be on my housing and the upper link is mounted on the right side of the punkin housing (ford 9")
Panhard bar will run from right side frame to left side of the axle..I have not as yet exactly worked out all the dimensions for all of it but that is the way it will be..
Probably will not know for sure how it will handle till I get a chance to try it out..
I may and expect to have to change the springs once or twice and fiddle with front to rear bias with sway bars (relative stiffness front to rear) and make adjustments to shock valving..just how much kinda depends on how bad I want get around an autocross event..
I have tried most all of it and now do what is known to work..
very good info, thanks all
while were on the topic, what about front.. I mean there is the ever popular mustang 2, or other a-arm suspension, but does anybody make ifs kits with other designs? I hear through the grapevine that double wishbone suspension is really widely used in racing, because it can be tuned so well, and works better during cornering
know of any better kits, or donor cars with better front ends?
Steve Smith Autosports
they have quite a bit of interesting books and software for chassis design..I suggest pay the money read the books..front and rear chassis design is done as one piece of work to get "hopefully" the front end working with the back end...
Study anything the circle track guys do as they go around corners as well..tho only left..
Go to This place and read all the online tech articles..then you will have a good start on building your chassis in a way that works..
I have tried most all of it and now do what is known to work..
I think the 3-link is the best option....
However the 3rd gen f-body torque arm type suspension is very low profile and a good choice if you have to make it fit under a floor board or back seat.
The 'truck arm' suspensions that NASCAR uses are nice because it is harder to screw them up (IMO). The downside is that the suspension itself acts like an anti-roll bar and the only way to change its stiffness is to change out the trailing arms. It is also quite bulky to fit under a car with full exhaust but it should also fit under the floor boards.
I am still working on a calculator for 3-link + Panhard suspensions.
This is a BETA version:
I have one for a triangulated 4-link that is in its 3rd version already
I have recently started playing with LabView and I might make future releases of the calculators stand alone programs (right now it is an excel based spreadsheet file and if you don't have excel you are out of luck). I would however most likely have to start charging for the calculator because LabView costs a few $1000 if you want to use it to make stand alone *.exe programs
I agree with Triaged as to the third and forth gen F-body 3 link torque arm panhard is the way to go. For solid axle rear nothing beats it, if you want to pull skid G's. The torque arm is very effective in transfering weight for 1/4 milers as well. For front , well nothing beats SLA dub. A-arm.
Torque arms unload the springs unless you move them above the axle. One in front and one behind can help. A 90/10 shock on the torque arm mount slows down the unloading, Making the car less violent.
I have always considered the torque arm suspension as a special case of a 3-link. The torque arm can be considered as part of the axle housing. The sliding mount at the trans output can be 'replaced' with a vertical link of infinite length. What this does is put the IC at the length of the torque arm and the height where the lower links would intersect a vertical line through the torque arm mount. The length of the IC would never really change and the change in height would depend on the length of the links. To a point the height of the torque arm chassis mount would make no difference. Is there a flaw in this way of looking at it?
Are you talking about too much anti-squat/dive when you talk about unloading the springs? That can all be taken care of with the height of the links and the length of the torque arm....or are you talking about having too short of an IC length?
OK, so I have been looking around for kits and setups i can use to achieve something like this. It has been hard to find any 3 link setups.
Here are my options:
For the frame im looking at Chris Alston Chassisworks products, looks pretty nice, and the prices are competitive:
It directly takes any of their components so:
I can use their Front IFS, pre welded to the frame
AND for the rear:
They have a Billet aluminum triangulated 4-link. From what i understand the triangulated system will not bind? And also, with a triangulated system, will i be able to set up both anti-squat and roll-under-steer properly, i understand that it is not possible with a parallel 4-link, but with triangulated it is ok?
I want to stick with the Chris Alston setup if i Can, because i can get all the brackets pre fabricated, and attached to the frame, alot easier to guarantee the setup, and they should have a frame that will slip right into my body
If the triangulated 4-link is no good i could go with:
Factory Five Racing 3-link:
Let me know what you think, post links to your favorite kits as well
Remember I'm not a chassis guy, I do engines but let me try.
The chassis or trans mount, chassis mount in my experiance, moving it closer to the front tires will provide more front lift and transfer weight to the back to increase forward bite while on the gas. Rolling out of the throttle will pick up the rear end making it loose going in the apex. Putting a load timing device( a shock and spring) between the torque arm mount and chassis gives you the ability to adjust when the rear axle load changes and how much. Moving the axle mount further from the roll center of the axle increases the leverage applied to the chassis mount. That only changes the fifth coil(as dirt guy's call it)rating. If it were all bars with no coil over, the car would react very fast and very violently making being smooth (the best way around a closed course) very difficult when traction is high. As on pavement.
A 2/3 link works the same with the pull bar located above instead of below the rear. While pull bars(the upper link) are called such, the torque arm could be called a "push bar".
Does that make sense?
Pigman, check out the 66 Mustang Suspension thread above. I have posted some pics of the front suspension and R&P steering (Chris Alston stuff) Ill keep you posted on what he is doing to the rear next, if you desire. He takes the car to a road course near Nashville, Tenn. for testing and competition

Blood transfusions are generally considered to be safe. But they do carry some risk of complications. Complications may happen during the transfusion or not for weeks, months or even years afterward. They include the following:
If you have an allergic reaction to the transfusion, you may experience hives and itching during the procedure or very soon after. This type of reaction is usually treated with antihistamines. Rarely, a more serious allergic reaction causes difficulty breathing, low blood pressure and nausea.
If you quickly develop a fever during the transfusion, you may be having a febrile transfusion reaction. Your doctor will stop the transfusion to do further tests before deciding whether to continue. A febrile reaction can also occur shortly after the transfusion. Fever may be accompanied by chills and shaking.
This is a very rare but serious transfusion reaction in which your body attacks the transfused red blood cells because the donor blood type is not a good match. In response, your immune system attacks the transfused red blood cells, which are viewed as foreign. These destroyed cells release a substance into your blood that harms your kidneys. This usually occurs during or right after a transfusion. Signs and symptoms include fever, nausea, chills, lower back or chest pain, and dark urine.
Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is thought to occur due to antibodies or other biologic substances in the blood components. With TRALI, the lungs become damaged, making it difficult to breathe. Usually, TRALI occurs within one to six hours of the transfusion. People usually recover, especially when treated quickly. Most people who die after TRALI were very sick before the transfusion.
Blood banks screen donors for risk factors and test donated blood to reduce the risk of transfusion-related infections. Infections related to blood transfusion still rarely may occur. It can take weeks or months after a blood transfusion to determine that you've been infected with a virus, bacterium or parasite.
The National Institutes of Health offers the following estimates for the risk of a blood donation carrying an infectious disease:
This type of reaction is similar to an acute immune hemolytic reaction, but it occurs much more slowly. Your body gradually attacks the donor red blood cells. It could take one to four weeks to notice a decrease in red blood cell levels.
If you receive multiple blood transfusions, you may end up with too much iron in your blood. Iron overload (hemochromatosis) can damage parts of your body, including the liver and the heart. You may receive iron chelation therapy, which uses medication to remove excess iron.
Transfusion-associated graft-versus-host disease is a very rare condition in which transfused white blood cells attack the recipient's bone marrow. This disease is usually fatal. It is more likely to affect people with severely weakened immune systems, such as those being treated for leukemia or lymphoma. Signs and symptoms include fever, rash, diarrhea and abnormal liver function test results. Irradiating the blood before transfusing it reduces the risk.

Isley Brothers' Marvin Isley Dead at 56
Marvin Isley, namesake bassist for the soul-funk pioneers the Isley Brothers, died in Chicago on June 6. He was 56.
In the Sixties, Marvin followed in the musical footsteps of his older brothers, first starting a band with his brother Ernie and cousin Chris Jasper. By 1973, the trio had officially merged with their commercially successful family members in the Isley Brothers and produced the album '3+3,' which went gold. Marvin would continue to play with them through the mid-'80s, laying down the funk on songs like 'That Lady,' 'Fight the Power,' 'For the Love of You' and countless others. Eventually the back-up trio would split from the Isley outfit forming Isley-Jasper-Isley, whose biggest hit was the 1985 R&B single 'Caravan of Love.' In 1991, Marvin re-joined the Isley Brothers and, with them, was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1992.
Despite the musical chairs, Marvin's time in the Isley Brothers would inspire hip-hip and R&B for generations to come. Ice Cube sampled their 'Footsteps in the Dark' on 'The Predator' track 'It Was a Good Day.' Sadly, diabetes forced Marvin to retire from music in 1997.

These are just a few of my (too) many shrimp projects. I tend to prefer wild shrimp types, or the more traditional types to the newer line bred or hybrids that are popping up and are all the rage. Regardless, I love them and just wanted to share.
That wild tiger looks dope.
Hi Rachel.... its me Don
I hope you can help me out with my shrimp search: -)
Very nice shrimp! Who doesn't love the originals as well? :)
I really like them, especially the wild tiger shrimp. Very neat.
Are those the greens you sell?

Beautiful collection you have going Rachel, keep it up!
Thanks! Lots of other species to photograph as well, though many of the shrimp breeding tanks are quite minimal, as far as lighting goes, so it is tricky to get good pictures.

It's a busy weekend in the high school sports world. WIAA state swimming and diving championships are Saturday and the Waukesha-area schools will be well-represented in Madison.
The Waukesha South/Catholic Memorial co-op team – the sixth-ranked team in the last state coaches association poll, has a plethora of entries and is coming off a second-place finish at last year's state meet. They are also on the heels of a second-place finish at last weekend's sectional.
The Waukesha West/Mukwonago team and the Waukesha North/Kettle Moraine also have entries and look to finish off their seasons with a bang after the teams took third and fifth, respectively, at last weekend's sectional.
Wrestling individual sectionals are Saturday as well and Waukesha South's Bill Prochniewski is the one to watch. The 106-pounder is a perfect 42-0 this season and while he has his eyes on a state title as the No. 1-ranked wrestler in his weight class, he has to first finish off his sectional at Waukesha West. The first session begins at 10:30 a.m.
South's Kyle Johnson (152 pounds) and Brock Milkent (285) will also look to follow up their regional titles with sectional wins.
Waukesha West, which had two regional champs in Nick Wall (195) and Branden Wade (120), also has many representatives at the sectional. Catholic Memorial, which will compete in the Division 2 Campbellsport sectional on Saturday, has two at sectionals – Justin Dentici (170) and John Clark (182).
This is also the last Friday night of the 2011-12 season that boys basketball will be playing as all the final regular season games are on Thursday.
The girls, meanwhile, go a week longer than the boys. Here is the schedule for tonight's games and my predictions are in bold. All games begin at approximately 7:30 p.m. after the JV games.
Waukesha West (12-8, 7-5 Classic 8) vs. Arrowhead (11-9, 8-4)
Both teams are playing much better basketball from earlier this season when both were hovering around the .500 mark. Arrowhead has won four straight, while West has won five of six despite playing without one of its better players in Brandon Kranz, who is out indefinitely with an injury.
Arrowhead won the first meeting between these two teams, 53-48. With this game being at Arrowhead, I see them squeaking out a win to maintain its winning streak and will go into its game against Mukwonago next week with a lot of confidence.
Mukwonago (15-5, 10-2) vs. Waukesha South (1-19, 0-12)
South is on a 12-game losing streak and has struggled all year, while Mukwonago is one of the area's biggest surprises and has won six in a row and 11 of 12. The Indians are also neck-and-neck with Pius for the Classic 8 title at 10-2.
If the Indians want to claim a conference title, they can't afford a loss now. They won't and will keep its winning ways going to set up a very intriguing game against Arrowhead next Thursday on Senior Night with the conference title on the line.
Catholic Memorial (11-8, 5-7) vs. Waukesha North (12-8, 5-7)
With two games left in the regular season, each team needs to win their final games to finish .500. The first time these two teams played, North defeated Memorial, 59-51.
Memorial has lost its last three conference games to some of the better teams in the league, but they have been close. North has also lost its last three games to the upper-echelon teams in the Classic 8, but the margins have been greater, despite getting good performances by Jake Ricciardi.
It appears CM has more playmakers and will win this one and will look to get to the .500 mark in conference with a win over Kettle Moraine next week.
Arrowhead (14-3, 10-1) vs. Waukesha West (6-10, 3-8)
With only a few more games left in Classic 8 play, the Warhawks aren't going to let up now.
They've been one of the best in the state and area all year, and Arrowhead will show the Wolverines in this one why they are tied for first in the Classic 8 and why the Warhawks could make some major noise in the WIAA postseason tournament. Still, the last time these two teams faced it was only a 40-38 win for Arrowhead.
After coming off a loss to Milwaukee King earlier in the week, Arrowhead will come out with a spark. West has lost its last four conference games and its tough season will continue.
Waukesha South (8-10, 3-8) vs. Mukwonago (10-7, 5-6)
Mukwonago has been inconsistent all year in building a winning streak. South has also had its challenges. Mukwonago is trying to get to .500 in conference and while that goal is attainable, it will have its work cut out for them going forward in non-conference games as it has a game against New Berlin Eisenhower, which is 17-0, on Tuesday.
That game will no doubt be a challenge for the Indians as will its non-conference game with Division 1 state power Nicolet (17-2) the following Monday. But the Indians won't overlook the Blackshirts in this Classic 8 game.
Waukesha North (9-9, 2-9) vs. Catholic Memorial (7-11, 5-6)
Memorial is a streaky team this year. It started when the Crusaders lost three straight from Dec. 28 to Jan. 6. They then followed that by three wins, before they lost three straight. Now, Memorial has won two straight.
They'll keep this winning streak going and make it three in a row against a North team that has lost six straight league games. The Northstars' last win? That would be against the Crusaders on Jan. 6. As a result, CM will be looking to avenge that 52-50 loss.
The problem for the Crusaders was that they could not stop the Kelliher sisters as Elizabeth poured in 23, while Jessica scored 22. The problem, though, for the Northstars since then and most of the year is that they haven't been getting enough contributions from everyone else on their youthful lineup.
Balance will be the key in the years moving forward if this team can get out of the basement of the conference once and for all.
Last week's predictions: 6-0
The other Classic 8 game for both boys and girls on Friday night: Kettle Moraine vs. Pius
