I have some Wind River Disc Golf tags that Troy sent down. Twenty bucks to join the club, the money is going to help pay for baskets. Troy is having a learn to play disc golf day in Pinedale on july 2 and needs some discs so if you have any discs you can part with let me know and we can send him a box full.
Troy Later June 7, 2011 at 12:15pm
Kent, I will be sending you another set of tags today!! We were thinking that we would reprint 1-20 because most people with tag wont make it up here much and most likely be playing for the down there. I brought the 8-20 over the weekend so I'll send 1-7 and then random numbers in the 21-80 range. That way you guys have a 1-20 so do we and we both have have of the higher tags. Your 1-20 will be green and ours will be red, that way if you guys come to our tournaments we will trade tags with our groups. What do you think about that idea? Thanks for helping me with all this!!
Brodey Hansen January 18, 2011 at 4:56pm
Finally, the low tags won't be held hostage by semi-NUDGAS!
Kent Holsten January 18, 2011 at 12:32pm
Tags are in. 1-50 Gold, 51-100 Silver, not sure what color after that. Tag round on Saturday. Fifteen dollars to renew and twenty for new members.
Kent Holsten January 11, 2011 at 1:47am
Way to go NUDGA We had a very good year. The club bought 10107.00 in discs and merchandice, spent 5630.75 on baskets including prizes and raffles and thanks to everyone we raised 3643.00 for local charities including the Breast cancer services at McKay Dee Hospital for 1388.00. Lets make 2011 another great year. The new tags should be here any time from what I hear. We now have 284 members and thanks for making this the best club in the world.
Kent Holsten November 25, 2010 at 7:08pm

I love the new settings Kent:)
Kent Holsten July 28, 2010 at 11:02am
Thanks to Josh for fixing practice basket. We measured the distance for alternate location for hole one last night. 395 from yellow and 451 from red. Haven't checked hole nine yet. It's back to long positions this weekend.
Josh Newton July 20, 2010 at 3:02pm
The practice basket is broken. Need someone to weld it.? I have a welder.
Kent Holsten July 8, 2010 at 3:06am
We have 2 more baskets coming. Should be here the end of the week or first of next week. 12 down, 6 to go.
Kent Holsten June 8, 2010 at 2:15am
Thanks to Leleo Spenser and Adrian Barber for setting up a booth at the Weber pathway dedication. They had a basket set up and taught people all about disc golf, passed out flyers, stickers and had about 100 people drop by the booth. They are both NUDGA members so big thanks to both of you. I believe there is 27 miles of paths now and plenty of room for a course or two.
Kent Holsten June 2, 2010 at 9:53pm

Some crankiness, but lots of challenging stuff here: ...Well, I think obviously we would have a different experience of nature. And maybe a different notion of what God expects from us; this is said as a believer, I should stress. It seems to me that a God who would reveal himself to Abraham in a place of such desolation is at least reminding us that our place on this Earth is temporary, and this is a place – a landscape – that reminds us of just how empty it is.

The Struggle for Generational Legitimacy: Youth, Antiracism and Counter Movements in Australia since the Mid-1990's
Carr, Robert A. (2005) The Struggle for Generational Legitimacy: Youth, Antiracism and Counter Movements in Australia since the Mid-1990's. In Social Change in the 21st Century Conference, 28 October 2005, QUT, Brisbane.
|PDF (133kB)
This paper examines the ways in which many young people have attempted to directly assert and define their place in Australian life since the mid-1990s. It analyses how young people have attempted to actively grasp a sense of social power through racial debates. Since the mid-1990s, a great number of young people have become active participants on two opposing sides of the antiracism movement. On the one hand, many young people attempted to resist mainstream political rhetoric on immigration, land rights and multiculturalism, partaking in protests and school walkouts. On the other hand, counter to antiracism, there have been movements in which young people have become more active in the Patriotic Youth League and other groups. Whilst the antiracism movement often aligned itself with socialist and more progressive political blocs, various counter movements have promoted national identity and populist rhetoric. This paper explores how many young people have also, indirectly, asserted their views on race. These have been passively expressed via socially orientated events, such as rock concerts. This paper also investigates the idea that, with some young people agitated into often direct (and sometimes violent) confrontations over race issues, national imagining has largely been taken for granted by a generational-based authoritative voice and in government policy.

Mom came to get me from the ER this morning and I was taken to a regular vet. I am spending the night there as I still need intravenous steroids and pain meds.
I looked at mom straight in the eyes for the first time today in about one week. I couldn't keep my eyes opened as I was in such pain. Mom was so happy!
The surgeon said I would recuperate but it would take time. It is a serious injury and mom will have to keep me isolated from the others, just in case they bump me.
I was to come home this afternoon, but I started to have "dire-rears" again so the dogtor suggested I stay there for the night. I wanna go hoooome!
Sparky the lonely Yorkie
A few days ago, my bestest brother, Clyde was killed by one of our fosters, a Silky Terrier who snapped without any provocation and also injured Chevy, another one of my Yorkie brothers. Seems like I was knocked around in the scuffle. Mom and my husis were there when it happened and they moved as fast as they could to grab that Silky so he would not hurt anyone else.
OskKosh has been in the rescue since last June and he never behaved that way. The dogtor told us it was something neurological and he probably came from bad breeding or he had a brain tumor. He had never showed any kind of behavior that could give the slightest clue that he could be aggressive. He was the sweetest boy. Mom had him euthanized immediately after the vet's evaluation. Withing seconds he jumped on Clyde, aimed for the neck and got him, turned and grabbed Chevy and my husis grabbed OshKosh and managed to get him out of my mouth. I was knocked around in the process but mom doesn't know
Chevy was injured, Clyde was killed and I was injured too. I have a ruptured disc in my neck and some swelling in the brain. I am at the ER since last night and I am on injection steroids and my eyesight is improving. I am walking better and the swelling is going down. I might have to have surgery to remove the ruptured disc. The surgeon is monitoring me very closely. Mom is so worried about me. I am a thought little guy.
I do miss my bestest bro, Clyde, a lot though. We did everything together. New my bestest bro is an angel.
I need PoP, please keep me in your prayers...
Sparky Yorkie
I came to mom's home as a foster with Clyde a few weeks ago. Mom adopted him and took me until she finds a good home for me. Well, she did cuz she decided that I was so sweet and cute that she couldn't let me go and separate me from my bestest buddy, Clyde.
Soooo... she decided I needed to have my teeth cleaned. It happened... gosh I didn't like it. I am 6 years old and I never had a dental in my life. Of course, breeders don't take care of these things so my teeth were horrible and very painful. We won't talk about my breath!
I lost 6 teeth! One for each year of my life so far! I was pretty knocked out and my human sister gave me some of these dreaded and nasty pills to take. Yuck! I have to admit I felt much better afterward.
I was also microchipped since mom wants to make sure I will always come back if I decide to take off on a venture or sometin'... Well that won't happen... I am glued to mom and I won't go anywhere without her.
Now I have a bright white smile and fresh breath. But the best thing is my teeth don't hurt anymore and I am a happy boy!

Broadwing will make a Gigabit Ethernet splash at NetWorld+Interop 2001 this week with the introduction of a managed service that supports speeds from 50M to 1G bit/sec and will likely cost a fraction of similar OC-3 and OC-12 services.
While the price of the service will be attractive, more important is the flexibility it will offer, says Nick Maynard, an analyst at Yankee Group.
Broadwing will provision a Gigabit Ethernet port for each customer site, but users will only pay for the average bandwidth used per month, even if they have traffic bursts up to 1G bit/sec, says Tony Tomae, Broadwing vice president of Internet and data services.
"The ability to provide additional bandwidth to suit customer needs is much more important than the lower prices that go along with Ethernet services," Maynard says. "If a user has to wait nine months for more bandwidth, it doesn't matter how cheap the circuits are, the service isn't worth it."
Although Broadwing would not reveal specific pricing, executives say users can expect "significant" cost savings. Businesses typically pay $65,000 to $70,000 per month for a national OC-3, 155M bit/sec connection from one of the big three carriers: AT&T, Sprint and WorldCom.
While not an apples-to-apples comparison, Gigabit Ethernet competitors such as Cogent are offering 100M bit/ sec dedicated links to the Internet for $1,000 per month. Broadwing's pricing is expected to land somewhere in between. And unlike private line OC services, Gigabit Ethernet services are not priced based on length of circuit.
Broadwing will support the service over its recently completed SONET-based national fiber-optic network that uses Corvis optical gear and Cienna dense wave division multiplexing (DWDM) electroncs. The network consists of three meshed optical rings that span the U.S. and delivers three fiber connections to each switching point.
The Gigabit Ethernet service will be a fully managed offering that includes customer premises equipment -- most likely a Cisco router that supports LAN and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. Broadwing says it has deployed Gigabit Ethernet switches to support the service, but has not yet selected a single supplier and won't reveal the companies it is evaluating.
Although Broadwing has some local fiber, none of it is yet operational so the longdistance company has to partner with other companies to offer end-to-end services. "We are working with providers that have metropolitan networks and direct fiber into [office] buildings," Tomae says.
The company will announce a deal with at least one metropolitan Gigabit Ethernet service provider this week, he says. Although Broadwing wouldn't name the partner, companies that come to mind include Yipes Communications, Cogent and Telseon, all of which are supporting Gigabit Ethernet over optical metropolitan ring networks.
Yipes is offering Gigabit Ethernet services in 20 metropolitan areas and offers city-to-ciity connectivity through third-party carriers. Cogent is primarily offering Gigabit Ethernet Internet access services, and Telseon is primarily selling to other service providers.
While it's ideal to have direct Gigabit Ethernet over fiber to each location, Tomae says that won't be an option for users in some smaller cities or remote locations. In those cases, customers will have to connect to Broadwing's Gigabit Ethernet service using a standard OC-3, 155M bit/sec or OC-12 622M bit/sec connection. But these high-speed connections can be difficult to find even in high-traffic areas.
Last December Gensler & Associates, an architectural firm in San Francisco, ordered two T-3, 45M bit/sec lines from its local service provider and two similar circuits in New York. Gensler is still waiting.
Despite the wait, T-3 and OC-3 services are proven. Broadwing and other Gigabit Ethernet carriers still have to show customers that Gigabit Ethernet is a viable wide-area alternative, The Yankee Group's Maynard says. Price will only take them so far, but if the services cannot be restored as quickly as traditional WAN services, users aren't going to stick with them, he says.
Broadwing may be in a better position than its Gigabit Ethernet competitors because it is also offering users traditional services, such as private line, ATM and frame relay.
Broadwing says users can connect offices across the country, but the service is expected to first be available in a few select cities to beta- test customers and then generally available in the third quarter.
This story, "Broadwing to break out Gig Ethernet services" was originally published by Network World.

Plant cutting
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Plant cutting, also known as striking/cloning, is a technique for vegetatively (asexually) propagating plants. With this method, a piece of the source plant containing at least one stem cell is placed in a suitable medium such as moist soil, potting mix, coir or rock wool. The cutting then grows new roots, stems, or both, and becomes a new plant independent of the parent.

'At least the Habs showed signs of life last night against a Sabres team that clearly left its game in Buffalo. The Canadiens ended a five-game losing streak with a six-goal outburst that was marred in the late going when Sabres coach Lindy Ruff sent out the thug batallion to stir things up.'
Archives for April 2004
Leafs likely foes
Montreal 6, Buffalo 3
'Souray, who is playing with an "upper body'' injury — a sore wrist or shoulder — blamed Sabres coach Lindy Ruff for sending out his tough guys in the third period. Andrew Peters tried to start a fight with Souray, but Stephane Quintal stepped in and they squared off. Quintal emerged with a welt on his left cheek. "That's so typical of (Ruff),'' Souray said. "That's the way he's always been as long as I can remember.'''
Montreal 6, Buffalo 3
'"I really wanted to win this game, the last one of the regular season," Montreal coach Claude Julien added. "It was important to beat Buffalo and finish on a winning note. We broke that losing streak and now we have momentum."'
Offense finds life in season finale
'The Canadiens jumped out to an early 2-0 lead on tallies by Pierre Dagenais in the first half of the opening period. Dagenais, who had been a healthy scratch for five of the last 10 games took a feed from Michael Ryder on the left side and from the slot sent one past Mika Noronen to open the scoring at the 5:12 mark. A similar play four minutes later would lead to Dagenais' 17th of the campaign. In the slot once again, the 6-foot-5 winger grabbed the puck for his second multi-goal game.'
Playoff hopes come to a screeching halt
The Buffalo Sabres took it to the brink. They put enough pressure on the New York Islanders the last two weeks where the Isles actually broke into a little sweat. The Sabres didn't know what was happening in Carolina. Without the knowledge of how the Isles were doing, the Sabres attended to matters at hand and attempted to defeat the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Sabres' playoff dreams fade away
'Buffalo can finish with 87 points, which would be the seventh-highest total among teams not to make the playoffs in NHL history.'
Sabres' doom comes with hopeful signs
'Yes, there are questions, but now they have far more answers. In that sense, it's progress.'
Belfour benefits from Isles' triumph
'"I just think they had more jump than us," Grier said. "It's been a pretty big grind for us. Every game for the last month has been huge. It's been pretty intense and emotional, and I think sometimes that gets to you."'
One more to win home
'To qualify for the post-season, the Sabres had to beat the Maple Leafs and hope that the woebegone Carolina Hurricanes could somehow upset the New York Islanders in a game that started at 7 p.m. in Raleigh. Fat chance. The Islanders had a 6-1 second-period lead by 8:25 p.m. — roughly 20 minutes after the Leafs and Sabres faced off…'.
No playoff party for Buffalo
'The Sabres, who claimed they had no idea what had happened in Carolina until their game was over, went on to lose 2-0 to the Leafs on third-period goals by Chad Kilger and Joe Nieuwendyk. But their fate had already been sealed when the Islanders held off a late Carolina charge and beat the Hurricanes 6-4, eliminating Buffalo from the Eastern Conference playoff race.'
Eagle Buffaloes them again
I have a lot of great memories here, so it was nice to get a win like this, he said of his 74th career whitewash. We played great defensively, something we will have to do going into the playoffs.
Winner goes home
By defeating the Sabres, the Leafs set a single-season franchise record with 101 points. Yet that total might be good enough for only sixth place in the East, an indication of just how tight the race in the conference is heading into the final weekend of the regular season.
A Klee cog for Leafs D
The Leafs, 2-0 winners over the Buffalo Sabres last night are, by my reckoning, close. Start with the superb Brian Leetch, plus-12 in his past 10 games for the Leafs and Bryan McCabe, whose game has risen dramatically with Leetchs arrival at the trade deadline.
Leafs watch
Chris Drury is willing to let bygones be bygones. The Buffalo Sabres forward missed two games because of a concussion after being decked by Joe Nieuwendyk of the Maple Leafs during a game March 15 at the HSBC Arena.
Leafs go down to wire
'Belfour needed to make only 17 stops last night, though several were game savers as he recorded his ninth shutout of the season, tying his career best.'

7 Tricks for Better Slow-Cooking in Your Crock Pot (Page 8)
7. Make Sure You Have the Best Crock Pot
You may have a 20-year-old slow cooker that still works great, but it's probably a basic cooker for which you need to time your cooking manually and then be there to turn it off. A programmable slow cooker cooks your meal for a predetermined time and then switches to a setting that keeps the food at a safe temperature until you're ready to eat. Our favorite is the crock pot 5.5 Quart Smart-Pot (you can get one for around $50). Its digital touchpad allows the user to control the heat settings and time the cooking in increments of 30 minutes up to 20 hours. Find one at crockpot.com.

text: I'm really starting to dislike Boozer by the second, he hasn't done anything major (except saying he will opt out) this season for him to get a nice paying contract. This guy is purely about the money and only that. He doesn't care where he goes as long as he's getting paid and even then, AND he still doesn't do much on defense. I wished Joe would go back to the hungry veterans route, the only reason Boozer is linked to Detroit is because he's apparently the "best" FA. He better not play hardball to get a nice paying contract, because there are several teams would need to shred salary, and are more then likely the talent is younger then Boozer.

Scientists from my birth country, the Philippines, are said to have developed band-aids made from the fibers of the edible mushroom volvariella volvacea (incorporated in fibrous materials from agro-industrial wastes, alginate or stabilizer and textile fiber).
The mushroom induces the repair of tissues while inhibiting microbial growth. The band-aid itself is said to be non-toxic, non-allergenic, biodegradable, hydrophilic and permeates oxygen.
This beats the freshly-plucked guava leaves my grandmother used to plaster my scratched and (sometimes wounded) knees during my precocious years.

Lorde Thanks Her Fans For Grammy Wins With A Full Page Ad
Congratulations to Lorde for scoring two Grammy awards this past weekend!
She wanted to make sure she thanked her fans in her home country of New Zealand for supporting her, so she took out a full page ad in today's edition of the New Zealand Herald!
This is what she had to say:
If you are reading this, Joel & I won
it was a crazy day & my friends and family over here are still freaking out
I just wanted to say thank you for the time you've given me these past 14 months
finding out about me online
or in between these pages
or in your headphones
Without your support, there's no way I would ever have gotten to stand in the middle of the Staples Center & perform in my school shoes.
I can't wait for tonight's show. Together we'll make it magic.

Please enter the word that you see below.
The primary effect of dyslexia is to stunt the academic growth and progression of an individual in various forms. However, special dyslexia scholarship grants are awarded to students who have overcome all the obstacles in life to pave their path towards a higher education. This scholarship is a recognition of their merits as well as the hard work and perseverance that is required to graduate from high school and take up a higher learning course. Several prominent grants are available for students and you can apply for each of them based on their rules and conditions of eligibility.
Anne Ford And Allegra Ford Scholarship:
It is the most prominent dyslexia scholarship that is available to students to serve as the hallmark of their academic success. The financial grant of ten thousand dollars is provided by the National Center of Learning Disabilities on an annual basis to a student that has graduated from high school despite of disabilities in his life. The grant is only valid if the student opts for a proper four year undergraduate program and can maintain a certain level of academic standards before graduation. There are lots of forms and transcripts that need to be provided to apply to the dyslexia scholarship so you should start preparing the documents well in advance before the required deadline.
Elks Undergraduate Scholarship Program:
Another well known dyslexia scholarship is the Elks program that offers a financial grant to meritorious students for their undergraduate studies. The grant ranges from one thousand to two thousand dollars and about twenty to thirty scholarships are provided on an annual basis. Any student who suffers from a speech impairment, language problem or neurological and physical disorders can apply. However, applications are only limited to the residents of California and Hawaii. If you have already received this dyslexia scholarship, you can apply for it once more to continue your education expenses.
Marion Huber Learning Through Listening Awards:
This dyslexia scholarship has been given out since 1991 to students who overcome several forms of hindrances to reading abilities and still adopt an undergraduate program keeping a grade point average of 3.0 or above. The awards are presented on behalf of the Recording For The Blind And Dyslexic (RFBD) association. There are three students who are awarded a scholarship of six thousand dollars and three other special scholarships of two thousand dollars are also given out. The dyslexia scholarship is provided through an annual event where all winners are present to celebrate their success and career.
Playwright Discovery Program For Students:
One non conventional dyslexia scholarship is awarded for a talent in theatre rather than just academic achievements. A playwrighting competition is held that is judged by professionals and about twenty five winners are announced every year. Students below eighteen years of age are given a scholarship of five hundred dollars while older students get a grant of two thousand and five hundred dollars. The best part about this dyslexia scholarship is that the winning play is produced and performed at the John. F.

getting real paint on my camaro
ok so im preping to get my camaro painted here very soon
i have one of the summit single stage kits here for the paint ) black cherry pearl) , this is the kit http://www.summitracing.com/parts/su...p317/overview/
i have some body work to do on the car
#1 fix 2 drilled holes in the rear decklid
#2 fix crease in the passenger side door .......
normally i would replace the door but the doors/hinges on this car are perfect, no sag/no rattles and i can close the door with 2 fingers. very very rare on a 3rd generation camaro. due to this i dont want to replace the damaged door and have to deal with hinge pin kits and all that goes with it
the damage is not bad but will need some body filler to get stright again
#3 fix minor dent on driverside rear quarter panel, this will also need some bodyfiller to be made stright again
#4 fix a few minor dime to penny sized dents
my biggest thing is im unsure what primer to use on the car since it has plastic bumper covers
with the exception of the roof the rest of the car can be scuffed and painted , the roof however has to be taken down to bare metal
should i be using an epxoy primer on the whole car ,or epoxy on roof and bumper covers only, then a standard or etching primer on the rest of the car ?
epoxy is all you really need if you can find one that sands easily and its buildable ....
SS urathane is good for solid colors only for black cherry you should use a BC/CC
if thats the case im thinking i should go with one of the blue or silvers i was originally thinking about instead of the black cherry
I can appreciate you wanting to stay with all of the same product through out your paint job...however...as long as you are using a quality product, it doesn't matter if you use one brand of primer underneath another brand of base coat with yet another manufacturer's clear as a top coat. Mike (Deadbodyman) is right, an Epoxy primer with good building properties and sanding qualities is all you need. If you are looking at painting your car Black Cherry, use the darkest Epoxy primer you can find.
I would recommend SPI's Epoxy primer, good build, great rust protection and better than normal sanding properties. SPI also carries an excellent line of clears that will compete with anything on the market today. The prices on these products are right, shipping is free and your getting a very high quality refinish material, as good as anything PPG, Dupont or however puts out.
If your interested on painting your car Cherry Black on a budget, PM me and I'll give you an idea that will save you a substantial amount of cash.
Hope this Helps.
i wanted to stick with a single stage cause this is going to be a weekend thing. i have a friend who is going to lay down the paint for me , but he moved to las vegas. he comes back here to visit his parents once every 2 weeks.
the plan was for me to do all the body work and when he comes back we would prime the car, then 2 weeks later when he came back again we would spray the paint
basically we have one day a weekend to do this, with a bc/cc dont the base and clear coat have to sprayed the same day within a certian time of each other?
we also dont have a booth to spray it in, and the one body shop in town wont rent out theres, what we planned on doing is building a frame out of some 1 inch pvc pipe that would could enclose with heavy plastic tarps and we would use some fans for ventilation.
this will be inside his workshop at the farm, the makeshift booth is really just to keep dust from ppl walking in and out of the shop from getting to the car, and to protect the rest of the shop from overspray
thanks for the help and insight guys , and ill deff send u a pm as black cherry is really my first choice in color
With a home made/make shift booth, all the more reason to use base/clear. If you get dirt in your clear on a BC/CC paint job, you can sand the area that has dirt or dust and polish the clear. If it's single stage with whatever metallic or pearl you have in your paint, you can't sand out the imperfection and polish, you will knock off the top of the metallic or pearl and it will be noticeable....in all probability...more noticeable than the dirt.
Shooting BC/CC does take a little longer than single stage, however, the difference in time should not be the motivating factor for choosing SS over BC/CC. Look at it this way, if you spray 3 coats of SS and it takes you 2 1/2 hours to paint your car...whereas BC/CC would be 3 coats of base...should take you, 2 to 2 1/2 hours, plus 2 coats of clear, lets say another 2 hours (That's being very liberal with the clear coat time, in actuality, laying down base is often faster than SS because BC flashes much faster than Single Stage). For 2 extra hours of painting time, the argument of SS over BC/CC because of time shouldn't be part of the decision making process.
Hope this helps your decision making process.
black cherry in bc/cc
what does black sealer required mean?
If they recommend a Black Sealer for Black Cherry paint, it usually means that their Black Cherry doesn't cover that well. I prefer not to use a sealer at all, if your prep work is done properly and your substrate is consistent and tight (Epoxy Primer is considered a good substrate)...there is NO need for a sealer.
"What Sealer Required" means is that they would like to sell you SEALER because they REQUIRE more money from you.
it means the sealer is black but if your using a black epoxy right from the start you wont need a sealer ,epoxy is the best sealer too I also prefer SPI epoxy primer from start to finish...I think its actually cheaper in the long run...around 100.00 a gallon ...
i got ur pm and i think im going to go that route as its not much more then i had budgeted. right now i have 450 bucks to spend on the paint materials , excluding stuf fliek sand paper and stuff for prep and tape etc
in that pm u said spi has a clear that would save me 100$'s over what wa sin the pm , what would the difference be between the 2 besides price, does the more exspensive one make a noticable difference in the paint job
im also going to have to watch on which activator i get as temps are starting to routinly go over 90* here during the day and mid 60's - 70* at night
Where you been Ray?:welcome:
All of the Clear products that I listed in the PM would perform equal to or better than a comparable product from a major manufacturer. In this case I can give you my personal preference...that is Universal Clear. I like the depth, and polishability. It lays down very nicely and is user friendly...now, that's not to say that the others aren't...this is my personal preference. if you need more info on clears, let me know and I'll try and answer any and or all questions.
Activator is very important...especially this time of year...always remember, you're better off to have a product that cures a little slower than one that cures to fast.
thanks again for all the help , i wasnt going to post up , i was just going to order that single stage stuff but im glad i decided to post and ask.
i do have one last question for now , i dont have a buffing machine, my plan was to take it over to the autobody shop in town and have them do it. is there a certian timeframe that this needs to be done in?
other then that this thread has been a great help, i have one more question on how to repair a dent on the passenger door but ill wait till i can take some pics tongiht so u guys can see exactly what im dealing with
Taking it to a body shop for polishing is fine...but...to color sand and buff an entire average car is between 40 and 60 hours ... X ... what ever the shop charges per hour...plus polishing materials etc. You could be looking at a $3,000.00 very quickly. Now, I understand that maybe you weren't looking at cutting and buffing an entire car. The $3,000.00 example will give you an idea of how fast the cost of this type of work adds up and the cost of a polisher in the scheme of things is not that much and will pay for itself on the first job.
Maybe wait another 2 or 4 weeks until the cash is saved for that polisher too.

3800 RPM miss
I have a '77 T-bird that misses at 3800 RPM. If I back off of the throttle, it clears up. If I keep my foot in it, it will drop 1000 RPM. I have checked the fuel supply and it's good to go. I don't want to just start replacing parts to trouble shoot this.
You have provided very little information to go by, but here goes. You said that you checked the fuel supply. If you are talking about checking pressure with it sitting, that may not help. Many years ago, I had a similar problem. We ended up changing the fuel pump, carb, and who knows what else. The problem, we found out, was a piece of rubber fuel line. The line had degraded with age. There was a piece inside that was working like a flapper valve. When driving, never when sitting still, it would close off the fuel. We had checked the fuel pressure several times, even at WOT while sitting. It never showed up that way. We had to put a fuel gauge in line and watch the pressure while driving to find the problem. Another possibility is the vacuum advance in the distributor. GOOD LUCK.
Check your EGR Valve, remove and plug the vacuum hose and road test.
Sorry for the vague post. Thanks to both of you. I have constant fuel supply at all times. There is no EGR valve on this vehicle and it has a brand new Holly 2BBL Carb and a rebuilt Distributor.
CJ you might want to try posting this question to the ENGINE board. Maybe someone there can help you. You need to make sure that you provide enough information for someone to consider. Things like the ignition system, any engine modifications, ENGINE SIZE, and such helps. All engines and parts act differently.
how old are your plug wires
First, thanks to all of you who have tried to help me even though I failed to provide accurate information. Let me regress. This '77 T-bird has a rebuilt stock 351M (less than 800 miles), C-6 Trans, 3.89:1 rear gears, new Holey 2BBL carb, new plugs, new plug wires, rebuilt distributor, no emission controls and stock Ford electronic ignition. When it misses at 3800 RPM, there is no backfire through the exhaust or carb. There is constant fuel supply at all RPM ranges and the "tell-tail" hissing through the carb indicating that there is no fuel going into the intake is not there.
P.S. If the person who has the power to move this post to the "ENIGINE Board" is reading this, please move it for me.
Thanks again to those of you who tried to help me with this. I just thought I would share with everyone what the source of the problem was. The control unit for the electronic ignition was bad. I replaced it and now I'm good to go.
Thanks again...
CJ... For the record. The reason that I suggested posting to the Engine Board is this. Many people only read the posts on the boards that they are experienced or interested in. As I have little interest in Engine performance, I generally don't go to that board. On the other hand, there are likely people that go there instead of the Electrical board, because they have no interest here. That is why there are several different boards. If people post to the right boards with their questions, they get answered quicker and are more likely to get the right answer.

Floyd Mayweather Challenges 50 Cent & Tells Him Just WHERE He Can Put His Money! [PHOTOS]
While insults galore have been hurled around throughout cyberspace between both Floyd and 50 Cent, in new interview boxing champ Mayweather does raise some valid points when speaking on Ffif's desire to donate to charitable causes. With all the buzz and good cheer surrounding the ASL Challenge, and the big celebrity push surrounding it, Mayweather does point out that there are a plethora of things that Fif could donate his money towards versus throwing dollars at him as a means to throw petty jabs.
In recent interview Mayweather suggests that 50 Cent should spend less time concerned about him, and more time worried about truly making a difference with his charitable givings. See just WHERE Mayweather suggests Fif spend his money and efforts on HERE
Does Floyd make a good point? Will all the violence happening in the world, shouldn't we be more concerned with uplifting one another versus the opposite? Share your thoughts

Bare Bottom Over Daddy's Lap - Front Camera Every reaction caught of her adorable face as she is soundly spanked and paddled captured in High definition Face Camera . "My Step Daddy is very strict. Laziness is something that he simply will not tolerate. So when Daddy found me snug as a bug in my bed with my cuddly stuffed panda at 10:30 in the morning he was less than pleased....I knew I was in trouble for not getting up and doing more chores...I knew I was gonna get my bottom bared for a spanking just like when I was a little girl. First Daddy scolded me for still being in bed, then he sat down on my bed and pulled me over his lap. Quick as a flash Daddy had the dropseat in my pink pajamas yanked down and started spanking my fat little bare bottom. Hard smacks rained down on my sit-spots and thighs making them turn a rosy pink. I wriggled and squirmed  as Daddy's hand fell harder and faster, my poor pink bottom jiggling with each heavy SMACK. Once Daddy had turned my bottom cherry red her ordered me off his lap, telling me to fetch his leather paddle out of my nightstand. I grimaced at the thought of having the stingy little paddle used on my already tender booty...but I obeyed nonetheless, knowing better than to disobey a direct order from my step Daddy. Sooner than I'd hoped, I found myself back over his lap, my jammies tugged back down to reveal my  naughty bottom as Daddy set to work paddling me...i clutched my stuffed panda and tried not to cry out. "

A journey in Dirt
I've been away from the hobby for the better part of 8 years and caught the bug again not very long ago. I have been lurking here for nearly 2 months and became an active member almost a month ago in that time I've built my stand , canopy and Led lighting. well after many long weeks of building , planing and waiting for deliveries to arrive today is the big day I finally flooded my tank and placed some plants.
Tank: 55 Gallon
Substrate: MGOPS 1", Flourite black sand 2"
Plants: So far hoping to add more soon.
Heaters: Jager 150watt X 2
Stocking: AS of right now the plan is to have, All stocking is subject to availability.
Filtration: SunSun 303B(W/UV) rated at just over 500Gph Filled from top down.
Here are a few pics right after the first flooding it's very cloudy but not as bad as I thought it might be probably going to do 1 WC before going to bed then see what it looks like tomorrow.
Tested for Ph both in the tank and from the tap and both are at 7.4 still need to double check the water parameters for the fish on my list then adjust from there.
And on to the Pics
Nice start to the tank
Great details in the opening post :proud:
Looking forward to the updates.
Welcome to the dirty side. :smile:
Thank you both of you.
Hoping to update at least 2 - 3 times a month all depends on what happens. Noticed what looks to be BBA or green hair algae on several of the leaves I've pulled as many as I can so far wondering what I need to stop this early since I don't want it taking over the tank. In all the years I've had tanks this type of algae I have yet to come across anything other then the common green algae on the glass and a few tank decorations.
Well minor update so far the BBA seems to be turning white not sure if it's a good sign or not but it seems to be dying off, one can hope.
Picked up a few more plants they are in the list in the first post.
Was going to do a fish-less cycle and started dosing ammonia to 4 ppm but have looked into something called a silent cycle and am considering going that route but after 2 days ammonia is still at 2ppm won't even consider adding any fish in till it gets down to .25 or less and even then no more then 3 fish 1" or less not trying to create a huge bio load right off the bat.
Just tested my water and must say I'm a bit surprised at my readings even did them twice to make sure.
This is only day 4 since the first water was put in.
Ph - 7.6 -7.5 tested with both high and low range Ph tests
Ammonina - 1.0ppm was at 2.0ppm just over 12 hours ago
Nitrite - 0 zip zero nada
Nitrate - 0.5 ppm ???? What how did this happen? Ran test 3 times same result every time.
I had dosed the tank with ammonia 4 days ago to about 4-5 ppm it dropped to 2ppm and stayed there until just about 20 min ago now it's at 1ppm.
Only thing I've added that might explain it is I've been dosing with Biozyme http://www.theaquariumwiki.com/Biozyme as per the instructions.
I did one 80% water change on day 1 since the water was so cloudy I couldn't see more then 3 inches into the tank, since then it's cleared up alot still a little cloudy but it will clear up in time put in a DIY power head filter with poly fill and sponge to help polish the water a bit and get some of the extra fine sand that's floating around out of suspension, noticed a big difference after 6 hours so it's working now if only I could stop adjusting the plants it would be clear already.
As fpr cycling the tank was going to go with the fishless cycle method but i'm leaning more towards the silent cycle method at the moment since the tank is fairly well planted, any opinions?
Well it's been a few weeks now and the water has cleared up significantly no thanks to super storm sandy no power for 5 days but thankfully no losses.
Saw a small ammonia spike a day or so after the lights came back on went from 0ppm to .5ppm ammonia, nitrites jumped to 2ppm and nitrates were at 20ppm was going to do a 25% water change but had things get in the way and ran out of time to work on the tank that night. The following afternoon I retested the water parameters expecting things to have only gotten worse and was quite surprised to see ammonia holding at 0ppm, Nitrites at 0ppm and nitrates at 0 - 5ppm. Kept testing daily for the last week and everything seems to be holding steady at 0,0,0-5ppm (ammonia,Nitrites,Nitrates). Seems like the tank has cycled and fairly quickly at that. I did add Dr. Tims one and only about 5 days after filling the tank so that might have helped speed things up quite a bit, also got some live plants from an established tank may have also been a contributing factor.
I also have 4 neon tetras in the tank since a friend saw I had the tank setup and gifted me a few fish so the tank "wouldn't be so boring." well happy to say that they are all alive and happy I was quite worried for them for the first few days since ammonia was climbing up to 1ppm was doing 50% WC every other night to try to keep it below .25ppm after 4 or 5 days of that ammonia stabilized down to 0 - .25ppm now it reads a constant 0.
Well on to a few pics these pics were taken Nov. 5 2012.
Left side of tank http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y77...s/IMG_1148.jpg
Center of tank http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y77...s/IMG_1149.jpg
Right side of tank http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y77...s/IMG_1150.jpg Never mind the Bottle filter it was just temporary to filter the water during the power outage. Thankfully I had a large 12volt battery and an inverter to run the power head and the air pump.
Weird angled full tank shot http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y77...s/IMG_1151.jpg
And some close up shots of some of the plants in the tank and the neons.
Will post some more recent pics soon.
4 week photo update
well it's been 4 weeks now water is clearing up nicely plants are doing well still having issues with BBA popping up on a few plants pruning the affected leaves whenever I find it. Added a DIY CO2 setup to help the plants grow a bit faster not expecting it to preform as well as a pressurized system but it's what I have available to me at the moment.
any way enough of the boring chit chat on to the pics.
Close up of a pair of my ghost shrimp
Few of the Neon tetras
2 out of 5 Pygmy Cory's
DHG Spreading nicely
Added a few more fish to bring my stocking list closer to completion, currently in the tank are
Ok updated pics as of today
full tank shot
Left corner
Right Corner
And several random close ups of both Plants and Fish
Amazing tank. Love your plant selection.
Welcome back to the hobby! 8 years is a long time from my perspective since I've only been in for about 2 years. I like the progress of your tank! Looking good and nice choice on the lava rocks. The color looks fab with the plants.
I totally heard Elvis when I read your two replies :smile:
OK Here the latest on the Progress so far added 5 more miniature cories (species escapes me at the moment) and 2 more Bosmani Rainbows and 6 Sunburst "Mickey Mouse" Platties.
Added some duck weed and frogbit to the tank today to help with leeching nutrients from the substrate. Going to have to keep an eye on it so it doesn't block too much light.
And now without further ado on to the Tank Porn.
Your tank is amazing! Great photography as well!!

Y'know what's so disappointing about this? Apple makes umpteen billion dollars a year and they still can't design an entirely new phone in a year. They can't even change the bevel around the edge of the phone. Nothing! They're slapping in a chip that cost probably an extra two dollars to manufacture and calling it a day...
You can actually get Siri Assistant from the App Store. Unfortanately, you try to download it, its actually not available, maybe because of bottlenecking. But I have other ways to get it, and if you all know what I mean go get it.. Google is your friend.

WTF is the big deal about Siri? I am on 4.3.3 iOS on my i4 and I already have the Siri app! It's not that great or anything and u certainly don't know why Apple is acting like it's NEW cuz I've had for probably close to 9 months!

I've carried both. 230 or 185gr. I like Remington Golden Saber actually. I like the notion of the faster mover if it came down to a one or the other choice though. That would obviously be the lighter 185gr.

411 ft# of energy for the 185's and 391 Ft# of energy for the 230 by the math your better off with the 185's
Danger Mouse:
Any decently constructed (state of the art) .45 projectile will have no trouble giving adequate penetration. Heck, a "good" .38 will go into the core of any assailant if shot correctly. Assuming again a good modern bullet - the expansion will be as desired IF the projectile itself is chosen according to the velocity expected from the powder charge/barrel length.
Check out the data yourself:
Muzzle Energy Computer
Anyone can figure the data for their own particular weapon and compare it to other weapons or to velocity/projectile changes with their own particular weapon.
Note particularly the "efficacy" stats at the bottom of the chart. Just shooting a .45 vs. a smaller bullet kicks that particular stat up a whole bunch.
Obviously, you'll see that the 185 grain wins both energy and efficacy hands down compared to the 230 grain (assuming your speeds are correct) - shoots flatter too (not that that's much of a factor at most self defense ranges). Just pick ammo with modern bonded core construction with a cavity that opens well at the speed expected and you'll be about as equipped as a man with a pistol can be whichever grain choice you choose.
As I understand it, a lighter projectile will decelerate faster than a heaver one when passing through an obstacle. It is also more prone to deflection. As an example, think of a car vs. a truck passing through a deep puddle of water.
Which is part of the reason that the 185 gr. is less likely to pass on through the assailant vs. the 230 gr. Both .45's (with good bullets) will be able to penetrate to the vitals of most any assailant. What you don't want is for the bullet to "over" penetrate.
It is this combination of more impact energy and the most likelihood of dumping 100% of that energy into the core of an assailant that makes the 185 gr. the better choice of the two (IMO).
Sure - if the assailant was wearing several layers of denim under a motorcycle jacket and or you had a quartering shot through the scapula from the rear -the choice of the 230 gr. could be justified.
Every choice is a compromise of sorts considering the likely eventuality, I suppose.
The more I learn about ballistics, the more I realize just as long as you have a quality bullet (Which isn't hard to find), shot placement is going to be the deciding factor in an unfortunate skirmish.
Do yourself a favor and find ammo that works well, and keep practicing with it; muscle memory will be increased, and so will your shot placement.
With all of that said, I am a sucker for 230 grain ammo in the 45; no real reason other than I like it. Simply put, if it's coming out of a short barrel, I'll try to find the faster round; if it's got a longer barrel you can bet I'll wedge the heaviest bullet I can possibly put in there.
Beretta 92FS
Momentum=Weight(grains)divided by 7000 x Velocity(fps)
Golden Saber's been my carry choice since day one. I use the 185 gr. +P in my PX4 .45, 185 gr. +P in the M&P45, and the 230 gr. standard pressure in 1911. All three shoot POA=POI.
I had some different lots of GS in 9 mm, .40 (bonded and unbonded), and .45 and see Remington changed the designs of their HP cavity every so often. The newer rounds have a deep, cone-shaped cavity while the older ones had sort of a "hollowed out" shaped cavity.
Vis consili expers mole ruit sua.
I agree with others, after shot placement, all other is pretty much personal preference.
My personal belief is to use the biggest heaviest bullets I can control. .45 in 230gr standard pressure. Gold Dot's to be specific. Just my .02 worth.
"fundamental principle of American law that a government and its agents are under no general duty to provide public services, such as police protection, to any individual citizen." [Warren v. District of Columbia,(D.C. Ct. of Ap., 1981)]
If I have to explain it, you wouldn't understand
With the .45 ACP you'll have at least 7 rounds to test on your attacker. What the heck, test'm all!! When you get done he'll not know if they were 185's, 200's, or 230's!! (Actually, you just keep shooting until the threat is neutralized}

Work Orders
When the Service Coordinator receives a work request, it is entered into TMA, a computerized work order management system. The work order is then printed out and given to the respective supervisor of the Building Trades Shop, the Mechanical Trades Shop, the Utilities Trades Shop, the Locksmith Shop, the Planning & Projects group, the Grounds shop, the Arboretum shop, or Housekeeping services, depending on the nature of the request.
The completed work order is returned to the Service Coordinator where it is closed out in the system.
Requesting Service
Requests for maintenance work should be submitted to firstname.lastname@example.com for routine requests. All emergency requests during normal working hours should still be called in to extension 1096.
Emergencies: During normal working hours, call the Service Coordinator at (610) 896-1096 immediately for any security and/or safety-related problems. The Service Coordinator will, if necessary, direct the closest worker to correct the problem. As these calls take precedent over all other high-priority jobs, please use good judgment when calling in an "emergency." After working hours, call Campus Safety at 610-896-1111 or from any blue lighted emergency phone.
Service Priorities
Generally, requests for maintenance and repairs take precedence over requests for alterations or improvements. All work requests received by the Facilities Management Department are assigned a priority based on the following criteria:
Priority 1 - All work relating to:
- Personal safety
- Security
- Loss or damage to facilities, buildings, or property.
Priority 2 - All work relating to:
- Restoring essential services necessary for normal classroom, administrative, athletic, and dining operations.
- Setting up for specific events which must be completed by a specific time.
Priority 3:
- All other work on a first in, first out basis.
Maintenance and Repair Backlog
The Facilities Management Department is budgeted to provide basic maintenance, repair, and operational functions to enhance the College's physical environment. Budgetary restraints precluded accomplishing everything that needs to be done. As a result, Facilities Management has a backlog of maintenance and repair needs. Work is completed as prioritized above or otherwise if special funding becomes available. In view of this backlog, the Facilities Management Department must direct its resources to the most acute problems and may not be able to take care of every request that it receives.
Members of the Facilities Management Department staff are available and welcome the opportunity for discussion and consultation with members of the College Community. Please call 610-896-1100 or write to the Director of Facilities Management via campus mail for an appointment or referral to the appropriate departmental manager for attention to a particular problem or question.

A Shopping Cart That Guides You To Good Food Decisions
Who has time to check their phone for information on what foods are best while they're in the middle of shopping? A new device puts that information front and center and helps nudge toward more responsible decisions.
Conscientious shoppers check the nutrition label of most foods they buy. But that takes up precious time that many grocery store patrons don't have (or don't want to sacrifice). And taking the time to figure out whether a product is local or not? That's an even bigger pain.

Critics say U.S. TV obscenity ruling out of touch
By Jill Serjeant
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Barbra Streisand made headlines when she said it three years ago, Vice President Dick Cheney caused a stir in 2004 when he uttered the word to a senator but TV mobster Tony Soprano used it constantly.
Yet even a fleeting use of the "F-word" or the "S-word" on U.S. network television remains subject to fines under a Supreme Court split ruling on Tuesday that parent groups hailed but critics said was out of touch with ordinary Americans.
"What's the point of continuing to apply a censorship regime to one of the oldest mediums -- broadcast TV and radio -- when kids are flocking to unregulated mediums in large numbers?," said Adam Thierer, a senior fellow with the Progress and Freedom Foundation think-tank on the digital revolution.
In its first ruling on broadcast indecency standards in more than 30 years, the Supreme Court upheld a U.S. government policy that subjects television network broadcasters to fines if they air a single expletive on the airwaves before 10 p.m.
The Fox television network said it would pursue the case in the lower courts on constitutional free speech grounds.
Parent groups welcomed the decision. The conservative Parents Television Council said it was "an incredible victory for families" that ensured the well-being of children.
The American Center for Law and Justice, which represented 18 congressional representatives in the case, said the Supreme Court had rightly upheld the FCC's authority "to protect America's families, especially children."

Have You Seen an Effect?
May 11, 2010
THE TALK... | Segments, Channels, Markets & Trends
No doubt it's too soon to tell what kind of impact EPA's lead paint rule will have on the remodeling business in general and the replacement window business specifically. It's been less than two weeks since it became the law of the land.
But I couldn't help but wonder, has the new lead paint rule had an effect yet? No doubt, it's having an impact on installation crews. I'd love to hear from you how they're handling the change.I hope you'll email me and let me know.
I'm also interested if there's been any impact on sales yet. That's our poll question of the week. And, of course, I'd like to hear more details on that topic too. If you sell to homeowners, have you stopped selling to pre-1978 homes or are you EPA certified and ready to go, and gaining such sales as a result? Have you seen cases where the added costs of lead safe work practices have scared potential customers away?
If you don't sell to homeowners, what do you see? Are lead-certified dealer and/or contractor customers picking up business? Are those that are not certified losing it? Have you noticed anything? Again, I hope you contact me to share any thoughts and observations.

BBA Recommends Larkin, Bagwell For Hall Of FameJanuary 3, 2012
Here is the latest press release from the Baseball Bloggers Alliance. As a member of the BBA I voted for both Larkin and Bagwell.
Larkin, a 12-time All-Star who fashioned an .815 OPS over 19 seasons, received the largest percentage of votes, being named on 84.25% of the 148 ballots cast. This is the highest percentage garnered by any player in the three years of BBA voting.
Bagwell, who hit 449 HR and had a .948 OPS in his 15 seasons in Houston, was selected on 115 ballots for a 78.77% rate. As with the official voting done by the Baseball Writers of America, a player must be named on 75% of the ballots to be recommended by the alliance.
Last year, the BBA recommended second baseman Roberto Alomar and pitcher Bert Blyleven, both of whom were inducted into Cooperstown during the summer. In 2010, no player reached the 75% mark in BBA balloting, the year that outfielder Andre Dawson was selected for the Hall by the baseball writers.
The Baseball Bloggers Alliance's vote has no impact on the official vote taken by the Baseball Writers of America. However, the BBA has often been a predictor of major awards granted by the writers.
The final voting results are as follows:
Barry Larkin 84.25%
Jeff Bagwell 78.77%
Edgar Martinez 60.27%
Tim Raines 57.53%
Alan Trammell 44.52%
Mark McGwire 41.10%
Larry Walker 35.62%
Lee Smith 33.56%
Jack Morris 32.19%
Don Mattingly 29.45%
Rafael Palmerio 28.77%
Fred McGriff 28.08%
Dale Murphy 16.44%
Bernie Williams 11.64%
Juan Gonzalez 6.16%
Javy Lopez 2.74%
Brad Radke 2.05%
Tim Salmon 1.37%
Bill Mueller 0.68%
Phil Nevin 0.68%
Ruben Sierra 0.68%
Tony Womack 0.68%
Jeromy Burnitz 0.00%
Vinny Castilla 0.00%
Brian Jordan 0.00%
Terry Mulholland 0.00%
Eric Young 0.00%
The Baseball Bloggers Alliance was established in the fall of 2009 for the purpose of fostering collaboration and communication among bloggers from across baseball. The BBA has quickly grown to its current membership of 347 blogs, including some of the most prominent blogs on the Internet, spanning all major league teams and various other general aspects of the game.

Jerome Is the New Black
|"Jerome Is the New Black"

Jerome becomes close friends with Peter.
|Episode no.
|Season 8
Episode 7
|Directed by
|Brian Iles
|Written by

|Production code

|November 22, 2009
|Guest appearance(s)
"Jerome Is the New Black" is the seventh episode of the eighth season of the animated comedy series Family Guy. It originally aired on Fox in the United States on November 22, 2009. The episode follows Peter, Joe and Quagmire as they go on a search for a new friend, in the absence of Cleveland. The group eventually decides on Jerome, a hip bar patron, which Peter goes on to regret when he eventually finds out that Jerome and Lois used to date. Meanwhile, Brian attempts to discover the source of Quagmire's personal dislike of him, only to become upset once Quagmire scolds him during a dinner date.
The episode served as a follow-up to the exit of the main character Cleveland Brown, who left Family Guy in order to star in his own Fox spin-off, entitled The Cleveland Show. Voice actor Kevin Michael Richardson, who also stars as Cleveland Brown, Jr. on The Cleveland Show, guest starred as Cleveland's replacement, Jerome. He would not appear again until the Season 11 episode, "Save the Clam", but he has appeared more regularly since then. It was first announced at the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con International.
The episode was written by series regular John Viener and directed by Brian Iles. It received mixed reviews from critics for its storyline and cultural references. According to Nielsen ratings, it was viewed in 7.38 million homes in its original airing. The episode featured guest performances by Kevin Michael Richardson and Nana Visitor, along with several recurring guest voice actors for the series. "Jerome Is the New Black" was released on DVD along with seven other episodes from the season on June 15, 2010.
Upset that Cleveland left the quartet to move to Stoolbend, Virginia, Peter, Quagmire and Joe decide to interview potential friends to fill the vacancy, and are approached by a fellow bar patron named Jerome. After impressing the group with his dart skills, they decide to let Jerome join as their new fourth member. Later, when Peter introduces Jerome to Lois, she reveals that the two used to date. Peter grows jealous and, in a fit of drunken rage, throws a bottle through the window of Jerome's home, inadvertently causing a fire and burning down his house. Jerome, unaware of the fact that Peter was the vandal who burned down his house, later told Lois "When I find the guy who did it, I'm gonna rip his arms off and do his wife in front of him!" The next morning, Peter discovers that Lois has invited Jerome to live with them. As time goes on, Peter cannot contain his jealousy and eventually appears to dress as a member of the Ku Klux Klan, though it is immediately revealed that Peter's intention is to dress as a ghost carrying a torch, kicking Jerome out. During an argument, Lois reveals that Jerome had bought Peter a gift, and he goes on to apologize to Jerome for being so insensitive. Jerome forgives him and he remains friends with Peter, but admits to having had sex with Meg, to which Peter indifferently responds.
Meanwhile, Brian tries to join Peter's group, but Peter says it is not a good idea because Quagmire dislikes him. Brian attempts to rectify the situation outside Quagmire's house. However, Brian ends up making things worse by mistaking Quagmire's sister, who is hiding out from her abusive boyfriend, for one of his dates. Brian tricks Quagmire into going to dinner with him by making him think Cheryl Tiegs, Quagmire's long-lost love, is the one inviting him.
At dinner, Brian attempts to make small talk, but Quagmire does not soften up. Finally, Brian asks Quagmire why he does not like him. Quagmire responds with an angry tirade detailing everything about Brian he finds reprehensible, at the end of which he calls Brian "a big, sad, alcoholic bore". Brian then returns home, having been crying on the way back. Stewie cheers him up by saying that he only needs to like himself, and then professes his own admiration for Brian by letting him spend the night in his room.
Production and development[edit]
First announced at the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con International, the episode was written by series regular John Viener, and directed by Brian Iles before the conclusion of the eighth production season. The episode was produced to introduce a new fourth member to replace Cleveland Brown, after removing him from Family Guy, in order to create the spin-off series The Cleveland Show, which is also executive produced by Seth MacFarlane, as well as his voice actor, Mike Henry, and writer Richard Appel. Voice actor Kevin Michael Richardson, who portrayed Jerome in the episode, based the character largely on his role as Rockefeller Butts on the short-lived ABC comedy series The Knights of Prosperity.[2] Series regulars Peter Shin and James Purdum served as supervising directors, with Danny Smith, Seth MacFarlane and David Zuckerman serving as staff writers for the episode.[3]
In addition to the regular cast and Richardson, actress Nana Visitor briefly appeared as a crying woman in the episode. Recurring guest voice actors Johnny Brennan, Chris Cox, Ralph Garman, writer and showrunner Mark Hentemann, writer Alec Sulkin and writer John Viener also made minor appearances.[3]
Cultural references[edit]
In the opening scene of the episode, Peter, Joe and Quagmire are shown watching television at the Drunken Clam, when an infomercial featuring Rat Pack members Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr., and Dean Martin is shown,[4] featuring several songs with racially offensive lyrics.[5] Immediately after, the group believes that they see their old friend, Cleveland, who moved to Virginia, across the bar, but are disappointed when it is revealed to be a lamp. Peter then goes on to express his desire to finally replace Cleveland, stating that their group is just like the Muppets character Statler without Waldorf.[5] Deciding to hold auditions for a replacement for their entourage, they first audition actor Kevin Connolly, who is discouraged from joining once Quagmire attempts to steal his Lucky Charms cereal.[4]
At one point Peter suggests Jerome grab his nephew and "shoot people in the D.C. area" in reference to the Beltway sniper attacks.[2] Feeling sorry for Jerome, Lois invites him to stay at their home, with Peter reluctantly agreeing, before suddenly being cut off mid-sentence by the Mac OS X spinning wait cursor.[5] The next day, after Jerome decides to cook for Lois, Peter and Chris, sitting in the other room, overhear Lois passionately complimenting Jerome, and believe they are having sex. Racing to the kitchen, the two discover that she was only complimenting his food, with Don Knotts as Ralph Furley from the sitcom Three's Company also appearing.[5]
Attempting to win over Quagmire, Brian decides to invite him to dinner, using model and actress Cheryl Tiegs as bait.[5] Soon discovering the invitation to be fake, Quagmire is crushed, causing Brian to suggest that they can be a better team than Lewis and Clark, and a third member who enjoyed "ripping up maps."[5] After Jerome is convinced to leave by Peter, Lois reveals a gift from Jerome of an original garbage structure made by character Nick Moore from the sitcom Family Ties, the show Jerome had been watching earlier when Peter was spying on him.[6][4]
"Jerome Is the New Black" was broadcast on November 22, 2009, as a part of an animated television night on Fox, and was preceded by an episode of The Simpsons, and Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane's new show The Cleveland Show. It was followed by MacFarlane's second show, American Dad!. It was watched by 7.39 million viewers in its original airing, according to Nielsen ratings, despite airing simultaneously with the 2009 American Music Awards on ABC, Sunday Night Football on NBC and The Amazing Race on CBS. The episode also acquired a 3.8 rating in the 18–49 demographic, surpassing The Simpsons, The Cleveland Show and American Dad! in addition to edging out all three shows in total viewership.[7]
Reviews of the episode were mostly mixed, calling it an "inconsistent mixed bag episode," with many jokes "[falling] flat." In a simultaneous review of the episodes of The Simpsons and American Dad! that preceded and followed the episode respectively, as well as The Cleveland Show, The A.V. Club's Todd VanDerWerff commented that he thought the episode "started out well before sort of just petering out as the episode went on," comparing it to South Park's attempt to replace Kenny McCormick, before ultimately reintroducing the character into the series. In the conclusion of his review, VanDerWerff praised Quagmire's monologue, commenting "it's certainly amusing that the show is spending all of this time tearing down the one character who's a mouthpiece for the creator."[8] Ahsan Haque of IGN criticized the episode for its "execution," stating, "Auditioning friends to replace Cleveland seemed like a better idea on paper." Haque praised Quagmire's tirade against Brian, however, as "completely unexpected" and "mildly amusing," but ultimately gave the episode a 6.4 out of 10.[4] In a subsequent review of Family Guy's eighth season, Ramsey Isler of IGN listed "Jerome Is the New Black" as "remarkably unfunny, with lazy and unoriginal writing."[9]

Benefit to aid ailing woman
In a matter of months, Erica Matinsky and Liam Kinser met, fell in love, and got married. They quickly discovered what "for better or worse" means when Erica received the devastating news that her pancreas and kidneys were failing.
After a diagnosis of diabetes at age 10, Erica, a 1998 graduate of Monessen High School, has had some medical challenges, but the news came as a shock. Erica, who worked in dialysis at Fresenius Medical, never imagined her own organs would fail. Fortunately, Erica was able to receive a combined kidney and pancreas transplant in September 2012 at UPMC Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh.
With the whirlwind of a wedding, medical diagnosis and transplant behind them, Liam and Erica now face the obstacle of the still growing medical expenses. Liam, a 2002 graduate of South Allegheny High School, works in HVAC for Climatech, but the couple's single income now makes the medical bills all the more challenging.
As with anyone who has received a transplant, Erica's recovery is not a simple one. There are good days and bad days, according to family members. The anti-rejection medication is tough on her body, possibly contributing to stomach issues she is experiencing. Erica was recently hospitalized due to low blood count, as well. She has since been released, but the couple is struggling.
Family and friends have been supportive of the couple and are organizing a benefit to help defray some of the costs.
The benefit will be held April 27 at The Boston Waterfront, 2422 St. David Drive, in Boston, Pa. Doors will open at 6 p.m. and admission is $5. The event will feature live music, door prizes, raffle prizes, food, beer specials, a 50/50 drawing, and surprises.
The benefit has been organized mainly by Liam's cousin Mike Soltis, of Belle Vernon, and Mike's friend Mandi Niedzwecki, whom Mike credits for most of the planning.
Family and friends of Erica and Liam hope many will attend the event to support the couple. They hope the event will not only help ease their financial burdens, but will strengthen them in their journey to Erica's full recovery.
Anyone with questions regarding the event can contact Soltis at 412-589-0100 or send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.

text: Fairly new owner of what appears to be a very well built 1948 Ford 2 dr sedan street rod and I have VERY little documentation history or information about it. Based on interior, air cleaner, and radiator; I believe it's about a 20 year old build. It shows a little over 16k miles on the VDO gauges (all work accurately) and it has a Mustang II rack & pinion w/power steering, ZZ4 crate engine (new in 2007), TH350 trans, air & heat, etc, etc, etc. It has 50 series BF Goodrich radial T/A tires (8.5" rims on front and 9" on the rear) with 16" American Racing Torque Thrust II polished wheels all the way around and has been lowered about 2" (front coils probably cut). I would prefer a little more height in the front end, so I'm looking for educated guesses about my future course of action(s). I'm thinking that I could replace the existing coil springs with ones designed for a 1978 Mustang II (with V8 and a/c) and heavy duty shocks. If I keep the existing wheels (lookin' good), I'll replace the tires when they need it. I might also replace the wheels with 8" x 16" and new tires at that time and sell the *.5" and 9" wheels. Any input, suggestions, etc?? Many thanks!!!!
