The Various Kinds of Magazines
Ideas, composing, design and photography are some factors that produce a magazine desirable and excellent. The worth of an magazine depends a good deal on how the idea catches not just the eyes, and also the hearts of the reader.
Basic interest magazines: This kind of magazine is printed for a extensive audience and the focus is actually either on a single or a variety of subjects. Each general curiosity magazine is targeted at a specific lover reader. These aren't only enjoyable to read but in addition provide information on subjects where a widespread man would want to read. Outsourced helpers or employees write reports and content articles and a lot of photos and pictures are generally included in it. Entertainment, perspective promotion and also product sale are the major ideas powering every standard interest magazines.
Scholarly magazines: These kinds of magazines focus on lecturers. You can get in-depth info on many topics. The file format of delivering information within a scholarly magazine is critical and so the textual content book as well. You will find a greater portion of graphs as well as charts as opposed to pictures. Training and supplying help in researches is the main objective of scholarly magazines.
Incredible magazines: You will find sensational magazines in a magazine like formatting. They are skinny, but big in size as compared with other magazines. Sensational magazines are said for you to thrive on setting up a stir. Showy headlines can be used for attracting interest of the visitors and the main focus will be on stories related to superstars or any other amazing stories. The self employed or staffers publish these articles, that are usually far more picturesque when compared with stories which can be included in fabulous magazines. These are also called tabloids.
These are few basic magazine types that cover nearly all type of story. No matter what type of magazine you study, it will undoubtedly fit in some of the above-mentioned categories. Figuring out something concerning the different magazine sorts can help you track down easily the actual reading items you like. Magazines can be found on each and every possible subject, you could think involving. Whether you've got a passion for cars as well as bikes, you can find a long list of magazines specially tailored for the data needs of bikes or car lovers.
If you are searching for mouth-watering recipes from world-renowned chefs or tips on decorating your property, the market is full of cookery and interior design magazines. Magazines use a longer shelf life as compared to papers. Usually the high quality of document used in magazines is more preferable than newspaper publishers and you can make out the print whenever you like. You may have to pay out more for purchasing magazines, but these can be a great partner when traveling about trains or even buses. It is possible to look for a report on magazines published on your own favorite topic, on the Internet. For more details, click here.

|Nice install Bill! The attachments for the blocks look rather lightweight...I take it that the loads exerted are fairly light?
|No name yet; however, I am sure it will in short order. Our car's gps, which has a British accent, is called Molly.
It's great when you have choices, and after making a choice. You feel happy it was the correct one. Being free from steering is a huge plus. Even if it is only a day sail. So does the Vane have a name yet?
My Columbia 30 had a tiller pilot, and it was Gilligan. My hydraulic on my cat is named Otto after the man while skiing on the mountain top in Switzerland. Talked us through our problem on the ICW in St. Augustine......i2f

Cape Dory 28 Cape Horn Self-Steering Installed
We just had a Cape Horn Self-Steering wind vane installed on our CD 28, so this is an initial report.
After the installation, which took a day and was done by a person from Cape Horn, Eric, we went out the following day for a test sail with Eric and another Cape Dory 28 owner.
First, let me say the thing is beautiful, all highly polished, heavy stainless steel with a nicely finished teak rudder. It also has relatively low mass, which in no way affects the lines of the boat, unlike some "oil derrick" rigs we considered. Also, the installation was done with great care, assuring the angles were perfect, especially the worrisome moment when cutting the hole in the hull. The lines from the vane to the tiller lay perfectly, without touching any part of the deck or cockpit. With an arrangement of three blocks, each of two lines is run from the gear to the aft-most side of the cockpit and then along the aft side the cockpit to the tiller, resulting in good leverage and minimal friction with almost no restriction of cockpit usage, except you could not sit at the very aft part of the cockpit bench where one of the blocks is located.
(By the way, the hull was surprisingly heavily laid up where the cut was made, a few inches below the transom and just above the engine control panel at the aft part of the cockpit. The plug was bit over 5/8" thick.)
When we first went out the next day, there were very light winds, 5 knots and less. I must confess, despite Eric's assurances, I thought we would have to wait for the winds to pickup to get a test. However, apparently because we have a tiller and a system of lines and blocks with little friction, we were able to self-steer on all points of sail in light airs with no problem. After a quick demo by Eric, we took over.
What was really amazing was her downwind performance, with almost no apparent wind speed: the boat tracked perfectly with the wind dead astern, main out to port with no preventer and a 160 % genoa to starboard with no pole, the boat ghosting along at about 1.5 knots for over 15 minutes before we did other tests. During that time, the genoa began collapsing twice, but then refilled. Once we were confident the main could be sheeted in a little without jibbing, we adjusted the main aft, which spilled more air into the genoa, and it never collapsed again for the rest of that test.
What I particularly like is the adjustment feature, which allows you to move the wind vane at its base, while it is engaged, to select a new relative wind direction you wish the Cape Horn to maintain the boat on. This is done without having to lock or unlock anything, you just reach up and turn the base of the vane. Once this adjustment is made by the twist of the wrist, the gear heads the boat up or off the wind to position the boat at the new relative wind angle selected.
For example, suppose you want to change the heading of the boat from a broad reach to head up into the wind as high as possible. What you do is turn the wind vane base to point higher up the boat, which determines the new relative wind angle the Cape Horn will maintain, and then you adjust the sails as the vane brings the boat up. If you point the vane too high, you move the vane base back slightly to fall off a bit. This adjustment takes just a moment to reach up and do, so your chief focus is on the sails and the boat's heading. The gear itself requires no other attention whatsoever.
To tack, you move the vane base to its reciprocal position, and, as the wind vane brings the boat about, you change the sheets. It was amazingly easy, although Eric assured us it becomes even easier with additional practice. Later, the winds picked up to about 10 to 15 knots and we found the boat to be increasingly responsive and quicker to settle into a new sailing attitude.
Over and over again, with each test, the other Cape Dory 28 owner and I stood about on the deck with nothing to do, frankly amazed as the boat steered itself, maintaining the heading we set.
So, with the Cape Horn doing the steering, you can give your full attention to adjusting the sails. Or, after adjusting the sails, you can then finely adjust the Cape Horn wind vane to modify the position of the boat to take better advantage of a given sail setting. Since the wind vane base adjustment moves smoothly and stops precisely, the boat can be positioned relative to the wind with surprising ease and precision.
In over two hours of testing, we never handled the tiller, except once, when, in really light air, we had to push the tiller hard over to get the boat to complete coming about.
To my question about how I maintain the system properly, Eric's answer: nothing, no oiling, no adjusting, nothing. "Oh", he added as an afterthought, "if the lines wear at all, you should consider replacing them and possibly adjusting the blocks." We shall see.
On a more subjective note, as an former engineer, what appealed to me about the design was its simplicity, the economy of mass, the quality of material, and an elegance of solution. In effect, rather than building onto the boat a massive structure to muscle the boat about and handle the resulting stresses, the Cape Horn becomes an integrated part of the boat, actually strengthening the boat structurally rather than burdening it, performing the one essential task of a guidance system, which is to direct the existing forces without adding to them.
Finally, after months of researching and then trying to imagine using the gear selected, what struck me most in actual use on our first day was how astoundingly simple it was. And now we look forward to freedom from the "tyranny of the tiller", making using our boat even more of a pleasure.
While we have had just this one day experience with the gear, I am both impressed and delighted.

Headset Lets Drinkers Fill Beer Glass With Their Thoughts
The longer you can mentally focus on something cold, the more of the beverage you will receive
You can use your mind for all sorts of useful things, from problem solving, to positive thinking. But now you can use it for something a lot more tangible – pouring a perfect draught beer.
This brain-powered technology was created for Castle Lite – a low-carb, ice-cold beer offering from South African Breweries.
Using only your mind, The Extra Cold Mind Reader challenges you to keep your mind cool, even when presented with images of extreme heat and other distractions. The unique sensory experience also makes use of interactive lighting, cold air effects, rich immersive visuals and sound to really challenge the user.
The longer you are able to keep your mind focused on something cold, the more ice cold beer you are rewarded with.
Designed by Hellocomputer, and built by Thingking, the mind reader uses an EEG headset to measure spontaneous brain activity over a short period of time along the scalp. The device also picks up on conscious thought, emotion and facial expressions, all of which it uses to control the experience.
So, if you thought you were good at pouring a glass of draught beer, it might be time to take on a new challenge in the form of a mentally materialising beverage.
Watch the machine in action in the video below.

Personal Items/Toiletries
First Aid/Health Care
Study Materials/Miscellaneous
Other items you may wish to bring are best negotiated with your assigned roommate whenever possible. Your assignment email has the name, address, and phone number of your roommate(s).
Some potential items for discussion follow:
We want you to be able to personalize your space as much as possible, within certain guidelines and limitations—most having to do with safety.

The Scattergood farm staffs a booth at the West Liberty farmers' market and wholesales with the New Pioneer Co-op in Iowa City, but its primary function is to serve the school.
In addition to raising chemical-free produce and meats for school meals, the farm serves as a living laboratory and outside classroom, where students gain hands-on experience with livestock and all stages of the growing cycle.
The lunch menu today features polenta, so Mark is in pursuit of sauce ingredients and salad greens.
By late September the heirlooms have nearly been wiped out by late blight, but he salvages a flat of Amish Paste tomatoes for the sauce base, quickly filling another basket with lettuce and arugula.
The sweet peppers require more care; Mark hunches along a row of red Carmen peppers, cradling each in his palm to examine it for freshness.
After he gathers a few bunches of mustard greens, the morning's haul is complete, and Mark delivers the bounty to the school kitchen, where Dana Foster is preparing the midday meal.
A Scattergood faculty member since 1993 with a Swarthmore degree in biology, Dana teaches health while managing the farm's livestock and sharing cooking duties with other faculty and students.
She keeps up a steady patter while bustling about Scattergood's commercial-size kitchen, replete with stainless-steel sinks and countertops.
The polenta sauce bubbles in a massive skillet, a mélange of pork and vegetables grown on the farm: onions, garlic, broad beans, peppers, tomatoes, mustard greens.
A second skillet holds the vegetarian option, substituting black-eyed peas for the meat. Dana tosses the fresh lettuce and arugula with roasted almonds, oranges, and a vinaigrette made from the farm's own raspberries.
As morning classes wind down, other teachers pitch in, ferrying salad bowls and family-style dishes to the cafeteria tables.
Then the students and teachers join hands around the room to share a few moments of silence before the meal.
Students all join work teams immediately after lunch to wash dishes or sweep; rotating chores keeps morale high.
When students leave for the summer, Mark and Dana occasionally find themselves shorthanded, but this year they enjoyed some welcome support.
A scheduled Gang of Four work day resulted in the efficient construction of curing tables for onions and garlic and a strawberry harvest to boot.

"We were so pleased with every aspect of working with the Colonnade staff in preparation and throughout our big day. The planning ahead of time ensured that our day flowed smoothly. They went above and beyond to make it very special. The outdoor setting for the wedding was beautiful and beautifully manicured. Everything was ready for the set up and the staff was very helpful. The venue enabled us to have both the ceremony and the reception in the one location. Our photos were beautiful with the combination of the outdoor setting and the indoor decor. We received numerous compliments on the dinner. Not only did the staff help us with venue planning but they also provided us with contacts for entertainment options as well which was much appreciated. Overall, the experience of working with the staff at the Colonnade for our big day was wonderful and I would recommend them to other couples planning their wedding or needing a place to hold a celebration of any kind."

_fullpath, _wfullpath
Create an absolute or full path name for the specified relative path name.
char *_fullpath( char *absPath, const char *relPath, size_t maxLength ); wchar_t *_wfullpath( wchar_t *absPath, const wchar_t *relPath, size_t maxLength );
- absPath
- Pointer to a buffer containing the absolute or full path name.
- relPath
- Relative path name.
- maxLength
- Maximum length of the absolute path name buffer (absPath). This length is in bytes for _fullpath but in wide characters (wchar_t) for _wfullpath.
Return Value
Each of these functions returns a pointer to a buffer containing the absolute path name (absPath). If there is an error (for example, if the value passed in relPath includes a drive letter that is not valid or cannot be found, or if the length of the created absolute path name (absPath) is greater than maxLength) the function returns NULL.
The _fullpath function expands the relative path name in relPath to its fully qualified or "absolute" path, and stores this name in absPath. A relative path name specifies a path to another location from the current location (such as the current working directory: "."). An absolute path name is the expansion of a relative path name that states the entire path required to reach the desired location from the root of the filesystem. Unlike _makepath, _fullpath can be used to obtain the absolute path name for relative paths (relPath) that include "./" or "../" in their names.
For example, to use C run-time routines, the application must include the header files that contain the declarations for the routines. Each header file include statement references the location of the file in a relative manner (from the application's working directory):
#include <stdlib.h>
when the absolute path (actual file system location) of the file may be:
_fullpath automatically handles multibyte-character string arguments as appropriate, recognizing multibyte-character sequences according to the multibyte code page currently in use. _wfullpath is a wide-character version of _fullpath; the string arguments to _wfullpath are wide-character strings. _wfullpath and _fullpath behave identically except that _wfullpath does not handle multibyte-character strings.
Generic-Text Routine Mappings
|TCHAR.H routine
|_UNICODE & _MBCS not defined
|_MBCS defined
|_UNICODE defined
If the absPath buffer is NULL, _fullpath calls malloc to allocate a buffer of size _MAX_PATH and ignores the maxLength argument. It is the caller's responsibility to deallocate this buffer (using free) as appropriate. If the relPath argument specifies a disk drive, the current directory of this drive is combined with the path.
|Required header
|Win 98, Win Me, Win NT, Win 2000, Win XP
|<stdlib.h> or <wchar.h>
|Win NT, Win 2000, Win XP
For additional compatibility information, see Compatibility in the Introduction.
All versions of the C run-time libraries.
// crt_fullpath.c /* This program demonstrates how _fullpath * creates a full path from a partial path. */ #include <stdio.h> #include <conio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <direct.h> void PrintFullPath( char * partialPath ) { char full[_MAX_PATH]; if( _fullpath( full, partialPath, _MAX_PATH ) != NULL ) printf( "Full path is: %s\n", full ); else printf( "Invalid path\n" ); } int main( void ) { PrintFullPath( "test" ); PrintFullPath( "\\test" ); PrintFullPath( "..\\test" ); }
Sample Output
Full path is: C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\test Full path is: C:\test Full path is: C:\Documents and Settings\user\test

Here are some general test shots to help evaluate the camera's overall image quality, including the zoom range of the lens. Some pictures may be clicked to download the full size original image.
The 30mm wide-angle end of the zoom range is a bit wider than most compacts.
The telephoto end of the 4x zoom is equivalent to 120mm.
Colour rendition is good, but highligh detail is a bit lacking in the bright yellows.
Shadow detail is good for a 10MP small sensor, but the highlights are burned out.
Macro range is 5cm.
i got this camera at a great price of € 140.00 with a spare battery and i have to say i am very impressed with the simplicity of use and build quality in general.
my previous 2 cameras were samsungs which were very solid, but the picture quality and lcd on the panasonic leaves them standing. excellent for anyone who just want to take photos without any hassle.....

Dog Veterinary
Ask a Dog Vet and Get Answers to Your Dog Health Questions
Hello there. My name isXXXXX and I am sorry to hear about your big guy. As long as he is breathing normally otherwise besides coughing/hacking I would not consider it an emergency. Most likely the rawhide is not lodged in his throat anymore but it has caused some irritation/damage to his throat which makes him feel like he has something still caught which results in him still hacking and coughing up white foam. Also as long as he is eating and drinking that is a good sign. I would definitely get him to the vet to make sure everything is ok 100% but in the mean time just monitor him very closely. You can try to feed him a couple pieces of white bread as this has been shown to sooth the throat if something is or was stuck in it.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any additonal questions or concerns. I would be happy to help. Please do not forget to rate my response so I receive credit for my time. thank you!

After reading an independent panel?s critical report about complaints against the man in charge of investigating complaints against NASA, a U.S. senator and a member of the House of Representatives Monday asked U.S. President George W. Bush to fire NASA Inspector General Robert W. Cobb.
Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), chairman of the Senate Commerce space and aeronautics subcommittee, and Rep. Brad Miller (D-NC), chairman of the House Science investigation and oversight subcommittee, called on Bush to remove Cobb from office based on the results of an investigation that has dragged on for more than a year.
"Given the compelling weight of the evidence we believe that the NASA inspector general can no longer be effective in his office and should be immediately replaced," the two lawmakers said in their letter.
In a press release issued by Nelson?s office, the senator and representative said the report which has still not been made public shows that Cobb "abused his authority, engaged in apparent conflicts of interest and failed to act even when confronted with the loss of NASA material posing a possible national security problem."
A NASA spokesman said April 2 that the space agency was aware of the lawmakers? letter and that NASA had not yet received the final report on the investigation into Cobb?s conduct from the President?s Council on Integrity and Efficiency, the body that is charged with overseeing inspectors general and the one that compiled the report on Cobb?s activities.
A congressional aide was sympathetic to NASA?s position. It is difficult for the agency to remove someone who has investigated it, this aide pointed out, since inspectors general have unique legal protections so they cannot be pressured as government employees can be. However, few inspectors general have remained in office once they have been accused of improprieties, two aides said.
Two calls to Madeline Chulomovich, spokeswoman for the NASA inspector general?s
office, were not returned.

Woman killed after taking homeless man in for the night -- dailypress.com
NEWPORT NEWS - A Newport News woman was killed in her home overnight, possibly by a homeless man whom she had taken in for the night.
The victim, described as being in her 50s, has not been identified by police. The suspect, also believed to be in his 50s, is in custody.
Police spokesman Lou Thurston said officers responded to a residence in the 1300 block of 25th Street after receiving a phone call from a neighbor at 7:18 a.m. They found the woman dead inside the house and the suspect standing outside.
Thurston said detectives have not yet determined a time of death, but they believe the suspect is the same man who made a series of anonymous phone calls from pay phones around the souttheastern part of the city during the night and early morning claiming to have killed a woman.
In each of the phone calls, Thurston said, the anonymous caller gave a different location. Officers repeatedly tried to follow up on the calls but never found a body. While trying to track the source of the calls, Thurston said, they found a man who "seemed out of place." They spoke with the man but had no evidence that linked him to the phone calls or any crimes.
When they arrived at the residence on 25th Street this morning, that man was outside the home. He was taken into custody and is being questioned by police. He has not yet been charged.
Thurston said detectives do not know whether the woman was killed before or after the anonymous phone calls were made.

Yeah, imagine my surprise when my wife informed me we had a house-guest. When I asked her who, she said it was some lady that she had known for 1 day, whom she had met in training at her new job. She was transferring in from LA and couldn't afford the expensive Budget Suites while she was here making minimum wage for training.
After meeting the woman I agreed to it, but gave my wife a real dressing down about inviting someone you don't know to come into our home like that. The other day the lady asked if she could bring her THREE kids to our house because she missed them.
I said sorry, but no. Then my wife told me she had informed this lady that I had guns that are not in a safe.
talk about Whiskey Tango Foxtrot... I'm still fuming over that one.
Certainly a bad situation that was partially caused by the victim...hard to fix 'stupid'...sad to hear that someone had to die over being stupid!
This homeless man will no longer be homeless...

I have said this before; many street people have mental, drug, alcohol abuse, or some combination of the above problems. Many carry some type of edged weapon. It just goes with life on the streets. While I do feel bad that this occurs I help by donating to charity and paying very high taxes that a large portion of goes to fund social programs. I don't take strangers into my home.

Not many things I'm that hardcore about, but an uninvited house guest would have me in the Budget Suite until my wife decided who made a better "house guest." Feel for ya'.
When you allow your heart to get in front of your head sometimes the end result is that your heart stops beating forever.
Likely a nice and very compassionate and caring woman that met her early unexpected demise at the hand of a true low-life scumbag.
She absolutely suffered a real lack of judgment but, I'll not celebrate her death just for being a bit too giving of her charitable spirit. RIP

Inside Lacrosse and ESPN analyst Mark Dixon gives his "Takeaways" from the weekend in lacrosse.
What Happened: Syracuse downs Princeton
Takeaway: I had this game pegged as toss-up, and it certainly turned out that way. It's always a great battle when these two storied rivals square off. Trailing 9-7, Syracuse outscored the Tigers 6-3 in the final stanza to take a 13-12 win. Orange goalie Dom Lamolinara was strong as he made a career-high 14 stops. Rarely does a team that is excelling make a goalie switch, but the Orange has done it and is seeing dividends. In a game in which midfields were going to make a difference it was the Orange unit that stepped up. Henry Schoonmaker had a career day, registering six points (4G, 2A). But it was JoJo Marasco who really ramped up his game late to get Syracuse the decision. Down 12-10, Marasco assisted twice to tie the game and then scored what proved to be the game-winner on a tough shot with 2:32 remaining. In a battle of two potential first-team All-Americans, Marasco stole the spotlight from Tiger Tom Schreiber with his heroics.
What Happened: Lehigh, Bucknell lead Patriot League
Takeaway: Both teams are currently 4-0 in league play and have clinched a berth in the conference tournament. A year ago, the Bison lost three one-goal games in conference play. One was to Army, the team Bucknell just knocked off by a 9-8 count. Lehigh has now won its last eight league games dating back to 2012, the latest against Colgate 13-10. The two are on a collision course to meet this weekend in a battle of the last two league champs. Both have stingy defenses and opportunistic offenses. The winner this weekend has the inside track on the No. 1 seed and the opportunity to host, a huge advantage to garner the AQ.
What Happened: Big upset in the Big East
Takeaway: St. John's was sky high after a huge win at Notre Dame and riding a four-game win streak. Georgetown had lost three out of four heading into the showdown with the Red Storm, the last loss a tough 8-6 setback to Villanova at home. All that backdrop makes the Hoyas' 14-13 overtime win that much sweeter for Georgetown. This is a huge win for first-year coach Kevin Warne and revenge for the players who lost to St. John's in 2012, a loss that saw the Hoyas surrender two goals in the final 21 seconds of regulation and the game-winner in OT. This time around it was Georgetown who came through late, as Charles McCormick tied things up with only 30 seconds left in regulation, setting the stage for the OT game-winner by Dan McKinney. The loss certainly damages the at-large hopes of St John's should they not grab the AQ in the Big East. For Georgetown, the victory bolsters their chances of grabbing a seed in the Big East Tournament and some much-needed momentum.
Bonus Takeaway: Speaking of Villanova, the Wildcats have now won three of their last four after a 1-5 start. They are 3-0 in the Big East and are in position to grab the No. 1 seed in the Big East tourney. During this run the team is getting solid goaltending from Reed Carlson and outstanding productivity from midfielder John Kluh. Kluh is a matchup problem, a player with blinding quickness and a great shot release. One other Wildcat has been lights out over the last few weeks- LSM/D John LoCascio. Whether up top or down low LoCascio has been a difference-maker for Villanova, throwing great takeaway checks (17 CT) and gobbling up groundballs (28) in the last four games. With performance like that, LoCascio has put himself in line for All-America honors in 2013.
What Happened: Great goalie play
Takeaway: It all started Friday night when Albany's Blaze Riordan (20) and Hopkins Pierce Bassett (15) combined for 35 saves. Towson's Andrew Wascavage stopped 20 UMass shots on Saturday, while Dillon Ward of Bellarmine turned back 20 Denver offerings on Sunday. Two won and two lost with those numbers, but all gave their teams a chance to compete. But perhaps the best effort of all was turned in by North Carolina freshman netminder Kieran Burke. Burke continued his stellar play with 23 saves in a 10-7 win over Virginia. We have seen the impact the new rules have had on increased offense, and with the weather warming up this aspect of the game will only get more pronounced. Strong goaltending is a big key for a run at any form of postseason lacrosse.
What Happened: Denver over Ballarmine 11-10 (2OT)
Takeaway: Since losing to Notre Dame on March 16, the Pioneers have won four in a row, including two ECAC games in extra time. The wins are not only big from a record standpoint but a mental one too. Denver was 0-6 in one-goal games in 2012, including one-goal losses to Loyola in the ECAC final and NCAA quarterfinals. They are 3-1 this season. Finding a way to win close lacrosse games is essential for any team, and for a team like Denver who has lofty aspirations it is a must, particularly when you recognize how their season went a year ago.
What Happened: CAA continues to intrigue
Takeaway: I've come to expect the unexpected every year in this conference, and as usual the CAA never lets me down. In a matchup that had all of the makings of a street fight, Penn State used a monster second half to down Drexel 13-6. Meanwhile, Towson continued its improbable turnaround, besting UMass 9-5. Both stand at 3-0 in conference play after weathering extended losing streaks. The Nittany Lions lost three in a row, including a gut wrenching home loss to Ohio State that saw them surrender a six-goal lead. The Tigers dropped their first three games of the season, with the low point perhaps being the first loss, a 9-7 setback to High Point. Both have been able to shake these off to put together great runs mid-season. The No. 1 seed in the CAA tourney could be on the line as the two tangle this coming weekend in Happy Valley.
Bonus Takeaway: Despite Penn State and Towson having the hot hands, it would be premature to count out both Drexel and Hofstra. The Dragons possess a prolific offense that has shown the ability to come from behind. And let's not forget the fact the Dragons played spoiler last season in the CAA tourney, effectively knocking Penn State out of the NCAA tourney. The Pride are also dangerous; any team that can go into South Bend and knock off Notre Dame is a good one. Two one-goal losses are all that separates Hofstra from a perfect mark in CAA action.
What Happened: Maryland holds off Navy
Takeaway: After suffering their only loss of the season to North Carolina, the Terps have bounced back to win two straight. The latest was a gritty 11-8 win over a stubborn Navy team. The Terps put on their turtle shells for this one, withstanding a five-goal Midshipmen run in the second quarter that turned a 3-0 lead into a 5-3 deficit. The only other team this season to put a run of that sort on the Terps was UNC. Maryland looked like they learned from that setback and responded by scoring seven of the game's next eight to secure the win. After Maryland lost to the Tar Heels I still had them ranked No. 1 in my poll; their body of work was just too impressive for me to demote them. In mid-April the Terps are the best team in lacrosse. Of course, the National Championship is won in May. An effort like the one against Navy is a valuable, positive building block for the rest of the season.
What Happened: Albany in a groove
Takeaway: The great Danes won two this weekend and now have a four-game win streak. Albany secured its second all-time victory over Johns Hopkins on Friday, 10-9. Goalie Blaze Riorden was terrific with 20 saves. Miles Thompson chipped in with five points while brother Lyle was held to double donuts. With the win, the Danes scored triumphs in the Carrier Dome and Homewood Field in the same season — their first time doing so. By beating Hartford, 24-11, Albany stayed undefeated in America East play. Two great signs for Albany this weekend: One, they found a way to win when Lyle Thompson was held scoreless. Two, the Danes got great goalie play that made a huge difference. Both scenarios are very positive for a team that could make some noise in the NCAA Tournament if they get there.
What Happened: Loyola has found its mojo
Takeaway: Or at least it would seem that way. A favorite for browbeating earlier in the season for not living up to lofty expectations, the Greyhounds have won five in a row and are playing their best lacrosse of 2013. Perhaps not coincidentally this run has been aided by the return of SSDM Josh Hawkins. Since returning from a seven-game suspension the senior has been a huge boost for Loyola scoring (5, 1), GBs (11) and caused turnovers (7). In the Hounds latest win, Hawkins (2G) and LSM Scott Ratliff (4) combined for six Loyola tallies. That is unheard of from a defensive midfield unit! Hawkins changes Loyola's DNA and makes everyone around him better. He alters opponent's game plans and has made Loyola a much better team. With Denver rolling into town this week for a monster ECAC tilt, this defensive unit will be tested by one of the best offenses in the country.

Dany N'Guessan's late header sent Leicester into the fourth round of the FA Cup to see off their fellow Championship promotion contenders Swansea.
The visitors took the lead through Dave Cotterill's long-range drive but Andy King equalised late in the first half at the Walkers Stadium, and just as the game looked set for a midweek replay in Wales,N'Guessan, on as a substitute, headed in.
Swansea had made several changes, with their captain Garry Monk and Marcos Painter starting for the first time since October, while the Leicester manager, Nigel Pearson, named an unchanged side.
Leicester did their best to nullify early Swansea pressure but could only hold out for 10 minutes. The on-loan winger Cotterill cut in from the left before sending a 30-yard right-footed drive past the home goalkeeper Chris Weale.
Paulo Sousa's side continued to press after breaking the deadlock and, midway through the half, Gorka Pintado forced Weale to a save from a difficult angle after breaking free.
The chance seemed to jolt Leicester into life and they would have equalised but for the heroics of the Swansea goalkeeper Dorus de Vries. The Dutchman prevented Matty Fryatt's 20-yard drive before producing a superb double save to deny King and Matt Oakley in quick succession.
The tie turned when King equalised against the run of play. Fryatt controlled a well-weighted long ball into the penalty area, cut it across to King, who rifled the ball into the back of the net to finish a smart move.
Pintado's right-wing cross moments after the restart caused havoc in the Leicester box but Joe Allen, Cedric van der Gun and Darren Pratley failed to connect when well placed.
The home side were enjoying long spells of possession and were increasing the pressure on Swansea's defence, with Fryatt forcing De Vries into a close-range shot. But as the game became more scrappy and the clock ran down N'Guessan scored the winner with a bullet header into the bottom right corner in the 89th minute.

You can't say you've seen Cape Verde if you haven't been to Santiago
It was here, on Cape Verde's largest and most populous island, marked by valleys and mountains, that the story of the mid-Atlantic Creoles began. Here the new lives in harmony alongside tradition, and the
The island of São Nicolau is located in the north of the archipelago of Cape Verde, part of the windward group of islands. The island is entirely mountainous, with its highest point being Monte Gordo (1,304 meters), located at its widest spot. Among its valleys, some of which are narrow and others of
The town of Ribeira Brava is better known as "Stancha" and is the capital of the island of São Nicolau. It is made up of narrow, winding streets of southern European character, with many alleys and squares that characterize the town. Its main highlights are its church, considered
Discovered one year after the southern islands, São Nicolau was first seen on December 6, 1461. Due to its mountainous relief, which made access difficult, its settlement was slow to occur.
The decline in agriculture was marked mainly by the droughts in the 1950s and the consequent emigration of many of the island's inhabitants. This resulted in the decline of a society that had previously been considered the cradle of Cape Verdean intellectualism.
A number of factors contributed
With a mar rich in fish, the island of São Nicolau has been visited by peoples from around the world in search of the famous Blue Marlin, a species abundant in its waters. Many other species contribute to the development of the canned fish industry on the island.
The town of Ribeira Brava comes alive with colors during Carnaval, when the local girls display their costumes and the boys accompany them with drums, fiddles and other instruments. The festivities last for three days and are known as the most lively in the archipelago after São Vicente.
One of the most important aspects of Brava's culture is based on the stories of Nhô Lobo (literally, Mr. Wolf) and Chibinho, in which the moral is that those who do wrong always ended up paying for their misdeeds – in this case, Nhô Lobo is always beaten by the cleverness of Chibinho.
With a total land area of 67 square kilometers, Brava is the smallest of Cape Verde's inhabited islands, with a population of 6,820 inhabitants.
The island is famous for its "vinager water," the friendliness of its natives and the preservation of its culture, which
Considered an important part of Cape Verde's cultural heritage, the sobrados (two-story mansions) of Fogo are intimately linked to the settlement of the island's first inhabitants, hailing from Portugal (Algarve and Alentejo) and slaves from the West African coast.

Case Histories by Kate Atkinson
-01- p184: Amelia had sex with Andrew Vandy ten years ago because she was afraid she would live and die an old maid. Because it had seemed ridiculous to be a virgin at thirty-five years old in the dying years of the twentieth century. Because she didn't understand how she was as good as dead without ever having lived. She supposed she must be in the virginal state because she was shy and easily embarrassed and sex seemed so downright daunting (and, let's face it, vaguely disgusting). At university, she'd had a reputation for being prim and proper, but she always expected that some boy (or some [???] man) would breach this [???] strategy and sweep away her inhibitions and admit sexual passion into her life. But no one, brooding, [???] or otherwise, seemed to want her. Sometimes she wondered if perhaps she gave off the wrong scent, or no scent at all because it was as primitive as that, wasn't it, like cats and queen bees and musk deer?
-02- Perhaps more curious than the fact that there was no one who wanted Amelia was that she, in turn, wanted no one—apart from men in nineteen-century novels, which put a whole new spin on the idea of 'unattainable.' … For the longest time Amelia waited for someone to appear who would make her heart race and her brain [???] and her intellect crumble and when it didn't happen she thought, perhaps she had been intended by nature to be celibate, that she should rejoice (privately anyway) in this vestal state and rather than fretting about her unbroken hymen she should see it as a trophy, unattainable to mere mortal men. (A dubious kind of prize, admittedly.)
-03- She would die a [???] virgin queen, a new Gloriana. This was during a period when she was having a kind of breakdown—mostly to do with the impossibility of "communicating" with the [???] and [???] and hair dressers and partly to do with the utter futility of life (although anyone with half a brain must surely be mired in existential gloom all the time)–and then, just when she was at her weakest and most vulnerable, Andrew Vardy said to her, 'You know, Amelia, if you ever want to have sex, I'd be happy to oblige.' Just like that—as if she was a cow that needed servicing! Or a virgin who needed deflowering…
-04- Before Andrew Vardy, Amelia imagined that sex would be (somehow, God knows how) an amalgam of the mystical and the coarsely animalistic, a warm and blurry experience that would transcend the mechanics. What she hadn't imagined was that it would be banal and rather tiresome. Although, unfortunately, still vaguely disgusting.
-05- … [She buys a book of sex tips] 'Undress slowly,' the book advised, 'all men appreciate a sexy striptease.' Amelia had rather hoped that they might keep their clothes on throughout the whole process. Nonetheless, she showed her legs and armpits, although for the life of her she couldn't see what was wrong with body hair, and painted (rather badly) her toe-nails, and showered and perfumed herself with something French that Julia had left behind after a visit. She felt as if she was preparing herself for a sacrifice.
-06- p207: [Julia] was wearing a skimpy top that belonged on a teenager but it revealed her neat, hard biceps (she definitely worked out) and at least she had triceps, unlike Amelia who had the kind of swimming underarm flesh that would have made it easy for her to glide amongst the treetops.
Casting the Runes by M.R. James
…and tea was taken to the accompaniment of a discussion which golfing persons can imagine for the themselves, but which the conscientious writer has no right to inflict upon any non-golfing persons. The conclusion arrived at was that certain strokes might have been better and that in certain emergencies neither played had experienced that amount of luck which a human being has a right to speech.
The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole
001. Miracles, visions, necromancy, dreams, and other preternatural events, are exploded now even from romances. That was not the case when our author wrote; much less when the story itself is supposed to have happened. Belief in every kind of prodigy was so established in those dark ages, that an author would not be faithful to the manners of the times, who should omit all mention of them. He is not bound to believe them himself, but he must represent his actors as believing them.
002. …he curbed the yearnings of his heart, and did not dare to lean even towards pity. The next transition of his soul was to exquisite villainy.
The Catastrophist by Lawrence Douglas
001. Schopenhauer's argument that pain is a more philosophically interesting experience than happiness. Pain, he observed, has roused the human spirit to its most fierce and stormy creations, whereas happiness invariably expends itself in a rainbow of bland cliche. And while pain can assume limitless forms and intensities, happiness restricts itself to a comparatively narrow palate. As an example, Schopenhauer turned to his nail-picking habit. All inveterate nail-pickers have on occasion picked with such reckless determination that the nail bleeds and becomes infected. One night, Schopenhauer's thumb was so inflamed that he could not sleep. That pain, from a partially torn thumbnail, was more intense, he claimed, than any corresponding feeling of happiness he had ever felt. For many years this made sense to me, but that afternoon I felt sorry for Schopenhauer. Obviously he has never felt what possessed me at my teak-finished desk: the transformative power of pure happiness. It ushered me to a state of heighted aliveness, my every sense acute and receptive. A superabundance of energy coursed though me.
002. I tried to recall what I knew about the Thirty Years War. I recalled that it started with someone being tossed from a window in Prague and ended with a quarter of the population of Central Europe dead.
003. '…And what do you mean about trying harder–you think I enjoy being this way? Do you have any idea how hard I struggle to master these fears?'
'I know you do, but maybe that's part of the problem. Instead of trying to think through all your dread, try ignoring it. Just pretend it isn't there.'
'Pretend I'm normal?'
'Exactly. I mean this seriously. If you think, 'a normal person would act happy in this situation,' then act happy, even if you are feeling misery. If you can do this successfully, then I think you really are okay.'
I thought about this for some time. Was Klara's ability to pull herself out of her purple funks a result of her fluid understanding of personal identity? Maybe my problem was too strong a belief in the continuity of self over time. Maybe I needed to take the whole idea of the coherent human subject more casually, even if that flew in the face of my narcissism and liberalism.
004. Where do people find the courage to act on their debauchery?…I once read an article by an anthropologist who divided people into two basic camps–the 'nothing ventured, nothing gained' group, and the 'nothing ventured, nothing lost' group. It wasn't hard to figure out what one I belonged in.
Or maybe it was sick to envy a pathetic pervert. Maybe the poor toad couldn't help himself.
005. To the other I could see the Reichstag, enveloped in a shroud, as if Christo had never left.
006. It often crossed my mind while addressing an academic audience that my position was entirely specious–that I could just as easily have been arguing the opposite view.
007. In my mid-twenties. I had longed for a nineteeth-century-style voluptuous illness, a physical analogue to me depressed mental state. Nothing life-threatening, just one of those obscure maladies, like neurasthenia, that would require taking "the waters" in Baden-Baden. A nurse with gigantic Nordic eyes and pillowy breasts would wrap me in camel-hair blankets and push me along gravel paths in a wooden wheelchair, and later would serve me tea and recite Rilke as we sat together on a wrought-iron balcony overlooking a field of ice sculptures from Parsifal. To my disappointment, I remained tenaciously healthy.
'The Child of Queen Victoria' by William Plomer
001. We hear a great deal about sex nowadays; it is possible to overestimate its importance, because there are always people who pay it little attention or who apparently manage, like Sir Isaac Newton, to get along, without giving it a thought.
002. [About a thundercloud over mountains] Those sunny hills seemed to be possessed by a spirit that nursed a grievance.

005. …on long, sultry afternoons a group of turkey-bustards [sic] , as grave as senators, wouldplod grumbling across some grassy plateau,…
006. A clump of clivia lilies were blooming in deep shadow–they were living and dying in secret, without argument, and untroubled by eyes and voices.

008. He put out his light, and like a convict without a crime, in a prison that was not locked, for a sentence of indeterminate duration, he just lay there sweating.
009. The tenseness of the atmosphere, the expectancy of nature, and the way in which the whole landscape, the very buildings and their shadows seemed to take part in the great symphony of the impending storm, combined to produce an effect so dramatic as to seem almost supernatural.
As Chimney Sweepers Come to Dust by Alan Bradley
001. Taken on a full stomach–no worries about that where Ryerson Rainsmith was concerned!–sodium bicarbonate combined with effervescent alcohol could be deadly: first, the headache, which seemed to grow by the minute, followed by mental confusion and severe stomach pain; then the muscle weakness, the thin stools like coffee grounds, the tremors, the twitching: all the classic symptoms of alkalosis. I would insist on taking him out on deck for a healthy walk. Forcing him to hyperventilate in all this fresh, invigorating air would speed up the process–like sloshing petrol onto a fire.
If I could manage to raise the pH of his arterial blood to 7.65, he wouldn't stand the chance of a snowman in Hades. He would die in agony.
002. My father was from an era when gentleman were taught that politeness was everything, that the only sure way to lose out to the Philistines was to lose your temper and admit that they her wounded you.
003. I won't say that my blood ran cold, but it distinctly cooled. I was not at my best with hordes;…
004. Life wasn't fair. It simply wasn't fair, and I meant to make a note of it.
005. I tried counting sheep, but it was no use. Sheep bored me.
Then I tried counting bottles of poison:
Ninety-nine bottles of arsenic on the wall (paper),
Ninety-nine bottles of arsenic,
If one of the bottles should happen to fall (paper),
There'd be ninety-eight bottles of arsenic on the wall (paper),
Ninety-eight bottles of arsenic on the wall (paper)–
Were the bottles of arsenic actually pictured on the wallpaper, or had each roll been soaked in the stuff? Arsenical wallpaper, I remembered, colored with the poisoned pigment Scheele's Green, had killed Napoleon, among others, and was sadly no longer manufactured.
006. I knew that the Hand of Glory was the pickled and mummified hand of a hanged murderer, carried by eighteenth-century housebreakers in the belief that, in addition to paralyzing any hapless householder who might interrupt them in their burgling, it would also unlock all doors and confer invisibility upon them: a sort of primitive version of the do-it-all Boy Scout knife. Dried in a fire of juniper smoke and yew wood, and used to hold a special candle made from the fat of a badger, a bear, and an unbaptized child, the Hand of Glory was the answer to a burglar's prayer.
007. I could succeed at whatever I chose. I could, for instance, become an undertaker. Or a pathologist. A detective, a gravedigger, a tombstone maker, or even the world's greatest murderer.
Suddenly the world was my oyster–even if it was a dead one.
008. Was it wrong to be so deceitful? Well, yes, it probably was. But if God hadn't wanted me to be the way I am, He would have arranged to have me born a haddock instead of Flavia de Luce–wouldn't He?
009. Once people have you in their power, it's remarkable how quickly their grip extends to all things.
010. My automatic response to someone who has gone too far is to wrap myself in a cloak of coolness.
011. Daffy had bored me stiff one rainy Sunday afternoon by reading aloud from the Dialogues of Plato , in which a gaggle of sissified young men–or so it seemed to me–had traipsed round a sunny courtyard behind their master asking all the right questions: the ones that allowed him to deliver his thunderbolts of logic to their greatest effect.
Like stooges feeding straight lines to a great comedian, their function was to make him look good.
012. There is a mystery in silence that can never be matched by mere words. Silence is power–at least until they grab you by the neck.
013. A pillar of strength, Daffy had once remarked, was a nice way of saying someone was terminally bossy.
014. There's something in human nature, I'm beginning to learn, which makes an adult, when speaking to a younger person, magnify the little things and shrink the big ones. It's like looking–or talking–through a kind of word-telescope that, no matter which end they choose, distorts the truth. Your mistakes are always magnified and your victories shriveled.
015. Sleep was impossible. I tossed and turned, sweated and swore. By daylight I was a bad-tempered haystack.

Student Researcher Wins Travel Grant, Goes to Sweden
When Elise Campbell, BA biology '13, asked for the money to attend an international research conference in Sweden, she was stunned with good news—a yes.
She received a research travel grant, funded by the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Studies office and the University Honors Program. Subsequently, they established a new program to support students who attend conferences to present original research. Campbell was the first, and, from now on, the university will offer several Undergraduate Research Travel Grants each year.
Campbell coauthored a paper, "Talking Takes Too Long: Gender and Cultural Patterns in Mobile Telephony," with her mentor Professor Naomi Baron, that they presented at the Association of Internet Researchers (AoIR) annual conference in Gothenberg, Sweden, on Oct 20-24, 2010.
"It was a wonderful opportunity to look at modern communication from an international perspective," says Campbell. She also attended lectures on a wide array of subject matters related to Internet research, from Internet advertising to chat room communication and branching out into different mobile communication.
"I was just one student, asking for money to go this conference," she says. "They really went through every length that they could to get me there, and I really appreciate that. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to go," she says.
In 2009, Campbell was a freshman looking for work when she saw Baron's job posting looking for a graduate student to help her with statistics, but Campbell took a risk, applying anyway, thinking her aptitude in high school advanced placement statistics qualified her for the job. Even though Baron told her she preferred a graduate student, Campbell came back to ask for the job second time. Elise says she was even prepared to beg her. It wasn't necessary—Professor Baron hired her.
"I saw her wide-eyed wonder about the world," Baron says, "she clearly cared passionately about learning and would be self-motivated." With such an outlook, Baron realized that Campbell would figure out what she doesn't know.
Campbell spent six months working on solely statistics and mathematics, and, gradually, she started becoming more and more integrated into the project. More responsibility led to a new job title of research assistant.
After her freshman year, Campbell asked Baron if she could stay on and work for the summer, but Campbell also wanted to travel abroad and work in a health clinic in the small fishing village of Mancora, Peru. She asked Baron if she could do her work remotely from her laptop with e-mail conferences, to which she agreed.
In Peru, Campbell found her calling: To become a physician in the field of women's health and to create a more holistic and practical solution to women's health issues in developing nations. "That travel experience changed me to working towards going to medical school, but I wouldn't have been able to see this without Professor Baron allowing me to work while I was there. It was really her doing that allowed me to go there and started shaping what I wanted to do in the future," says Campbell.
She worked in a Peruvian health clinic on a water purification project and managed a teen girls' club—all in addition to her statistical work with for Professor Baron.
During this time, Baron presented Campbell with another great opportunity: She invited Campbell to coauthor the paper with her. After Campbell returned from Peru, they were working together as colleagues. "It really progressed in an unexpected, but incredible way," she says.
Baron and Campbell analyzed data on gender differences in mobile phone use from 2,001 respondents from five countries—Italy, Japan, Korea, Sweden, and US. "There were some really clear cut differences in appropriateness with mobile phones usage between men and women," she says. In many cases, girls are more bothered than boys by dependency or "reachability," and they suggest that this is because girls text more. On the other hand, a high proportion of boys, 47.3 percent, complained about the ability to be reached at any time, to which some argue males object to mobile phones because they don't like to "follow the rules of mobile communication (e.g., responding to texts immediately)."
Baron and Campbell are on the forefront of modern communication research, examining how new technologies enable people to alter patterns of communication and its progression over time. The telegraph and the landline telephone, for instance, redefined assumptions about how social interaction should be conducted, and even today, traditional gendered language is perpetuated by mobile phone usage. They worked closely with many translators, because survey responses had to be interpreted carefully. "One response could read 10 different ways," Campbell says, "The most surprising part was working through all the cultural differences."
Gender is just one variable; culture may be a more critical issue. Americans avoid talking to strangers by talking on their cell phone; Italians won't use their phone while sitting at family dinners; Koreans use mobile phones more frequently compared to others; and the Japanese are least bothered by dependency.
"It's really interesting to look at how mobile phones are changing third world and developing countries—this is the level I'd like to look into as a next step in this research," Campbell says.
But for now, she's headed back to Peru for four months and will be conducting her own research using the skill set that Professor Baron taught her. "This time, I'm hoping to focus more on the clinical aspect of health. It helps me look at health in a more holistic way. I think my research is going to be an integral part of my understanding the path that I want to take."
Whether it's women's health or modern communication, a love and dedication to research connects the two interests. "From this entire experience, I learned crucial research techniques and what goes into conducting and publishing official academic research," she says. Campbell says she'll remember her time with Professor Baron as a tremendous growth experience. "I was in a position where I needed to be just as informed and on top of everything as she was. Professor Baron pushes you to not just be a college student, but to think 'I'm an academic now, and I need to start thinking like one.'"

Distributor Timing Problems
Hi Guys,
It's EB again and I am trying to fire-up my 283 in my 1958 Chevy. I bought the truck 2 years back and finally ready to fire up the engine. When I bought it The engine would run briefly but the fuel pump and carb where bad so I replaced with a new Edelbrock manifold and carb just recently. In doing so I had to remove the distributor.
I think I found TDC by cranking engine end over until the #1 piston is closet to #1 spark plug (very top of cylinder) and then pointed rotor to #1 plug wire. Then I connected plug wires clockwise on cap in cylinder firing order of 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2
I realize there is a compression and exhaust TDC. It popped/backfired the first time so I rotated the rotor/distributor 180 degrees. It does not pop or backfire but it will not run also. It fires a few times but will not run.
Suspecting it was not getting fuel, I check my fuel line and carb is getting fuel. I can also hear fuel being sprayed in carb when I move throttle. I tried spraying starter fluid will cranking engine but it will not run...so it seems liek fuel is not problem
I am thinking the only thing it can be is timing is still off or I have an electrical problem. I installed a new distributor cap because the previous one was arching. I also replaced the distributor points and condenser with a Pertronix Igniter 2 system.
Thinking the Igniter 2 system might be the problem I put in a back up distributor with points/condenser in it and it acts the same way. Pertronix tech support informed me that I don't need the "ignition resistor" with igniter 2. Do I need the "ignition resistor" for the engine to run ?
Any suggestion on how to verify TDC and proper distributor timing appreciated?
[color=lightblue]Doc here
Some things to try,
Bring it up on #1 TDC Compression both intake and exhaust valves closed , again and recheck the Rotor to ensure it is on #1 plug tower, Points just begining to open.
Check your specs but I think the points are supposed to be around 17. Check to see they are actually hitting the lobes opening and closing, and are not electrically shorting anywhere.
Do you have Spark at the points? Use a Insulated Screwdriver to open and close them with the key on.
Is the Secondary Ignition working? The power supplied to the Coil while Cranking.
I don't know about the Pertronics system, But you DO need the Ignition Resistor for the Stock Ignition. The Engine Will run without the resistor, But the Points will burn up and the Coil get very hot after a time.
Sounds like you were getting fire at one point, but not in the right order, OR you got a mighty big induction leak.
Also, Not withstanding the Start Fluid(in testing) , (for continued running) If the Gas is 2 years old you might want to replace that..It probably has all the punch of a water pistol...
Hope it helps!
Hi Doc,
After doing some research I think I might have found my problem. When I was at TDC #1 and pointed rotor to # 1 plug, I would rotate the distributor each time so it would drop down and align with oil pump. I think this would mess up my cam/distr gearing by 1/4.
From what I read you should not do that, just crant engine until distr aligns and drops all the way down
Pump seat
[color=lightblue]Doc here
Glad you found it!
That was actually on my mind, but I couldn't remember if the gear was diagonal cut or not, 283's were a while ago...plus seating into the pump shaft after rotation.
For Future Reference, You can Take a long slot screw driver and line the pump shaft up before you drop the distributor in.
So, you were about a 1/2 plug off right? between 1 and 8?

Need help choosing chemicals for crystal red tank.
Hello planted tank
Just looking into what chemicals I will need for my soon to be set up 2 foot crs tank. I will be using my tap water for wc ect the parameter of the water are...
Ph: 7.5ish
Kh: 3-4
Gh: 8-9
Nitrates: 0-20ppm
From what I've heard these parameters aren't too bad except it is a whole different story when I want crs especially when I WANT CO2 as love hc.
So from what I've read crs parameters should be...
So does anybody know what chemicals I should use to achieve these parameter. By the way could you also suggest amount of co2 going into the and weather I should or shouldn't put solenoid on it
You can use RO water to achieve the lower hardness that you are aiming for. In terms of pH, you can achieve that with CO2 injection.
If you are planning to inject CO2, I would recommend you use a solenoid, as it will help you save gas in the long term.
In general, about 30 ppm of CO2 is a good concentration to have. The amount that you actually are injecting varies depending on size of aquarium, diffusion method, etc.
Unfortunately i am only a primary school student and only get pocket money and therefore I can't pay for RO water every week.
I would love to be able to run co2 on solenoid at 30ppm but there is one major problem, crs can't handle the Ph change at night so What I am really asking is will I need to have extra o2 injected at night so they don't suffocate and what ppm I can run during the day?

text: The stories Kenny Kemp tells take place in a world that invariably includes the spiritual realm. The phrase "no atheists in foxholes" sums up the human condition: we seek after the Infinite when we find ourselves in a bind. Kenny's stories often consider that moment: how do we contact the Infinite and what will we find if we make contact? What form will the answer take and will we recognize it? This, in a nutshell, is the reason for all our lives: to discover our spiritual purpose and follow the path it reveals to us. The result may not be what we want, but it will certainly be what we need. And it will be exciting!

NY MTA Chief Lhota: 'Yes' To Extending 7 Train Extension, 'No' To Free Ferry Transfers
(New York, NY - WNYC) NY Metropolitan Transportation Authority chairman Joe Lhota told planners at a Midtown conference that the first project on his "wish list" is extending the Number 7 subway train down 11th Avenue to 23rd Street.
"It's something that I think would make sense because if you look at the demographics of the West Side, we shouldn't just make one stop," he told reporters after taking part in a workshop at the Regional Plan Association's annual assembly, which was held at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.
Lhota said, "It's important to have plans, to have a wish list." But he cautioned there was no active push to send the 7 train from Times Square past its planned terminus at W 34th Street. "I'm not sure it can be done," he said. "I'm not sure about how close you can get to the Hudson River."
The $2.1 billion extension is scheduled to be done by December 2013 at a cost of $2.1 billion. It's being built in conjunction with a massive development of the Hudson Yards immediately to the south.
NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg has also been thinking about boosting the capacity of New York's transportation system.
Appearing Friday as a guest on WOR Radio's John Gambling Show, he said "it'd be great" to offer free transfers to the city's private ferries with a Metrocard. "It's all one big thing in these days of technology," the mayor said. "You could use one card and then revenue could be divided up" between the ferry operators and the NY MTA.
Lhota liked the idea of allowing ferry passengers to pay by Metrocard, noting that several non-NY MTA transit operators in the region already do that, from the PATH Train to New Jersey and a newly privatized bus system on Long Island. But he wasn't keen on the idea of making the transfer free and sharing fares. "The NY MTA is in no position to share its revenue with the ferries," he said.
The NY MTA is perennially cash-strapped and only recently received funding from the state for the last three years of a five-year capital plan.

Miss Marple's Final Cases (original 1979; edition 1980)
by Agatha Christie (Author)
Work details
Miss Marple's Final Cases by Agatha Christie (1979)
Books Read in 2014 (124)
Detectives (318)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Ideal bed time reading - the stories are written well enough to draw you in, but are short and formulaic enough to not keep you up all night guessing what happened next.
Some of the stories are more obvious than others. Unlike in the The Thirteen Problems, there is no particular thread to collection - and no story line within the collection to reveal more about Miss Marple (or why the collection is titled Final Cases). For that, 3 stars, not more.
I guess, if Christie had been able alive to have an input in the editing and collating of the stories it might have turned out better, but this was published to provide a final fix for Marple enthusiasts.
So, if you are considering picking up a Marple story for the first time, don't start with this one.
Presented in this collection are: the man found dying in the church sanctuary; the puzzle of Uncle Henry's hidden legacy; the question of the murder with the tape-measure; the curious conduct of the caretaker; the case of Miss Skinner's maid and the baffling mystery of the stabbing of Mrs Rhodes.
My take........
Well after maybe a 35 year hiatus between my last reading of the venerable Dame of Crime Fiction, I thought it was time to head back down to St Mary Mead and see what all the fuss was about.
The easiest option for me was to have a crack at a few of her Miss Marple short stories and having picked up this charity shop bargain for the humungous sum of 25p when out and about with my wife and youngest daughter on Monday, I decided to bump the dame off.......sorry, bump her up the queue and get started.
6 stories – 142 pages – 2-3 hours reading time.
Well I can add another female author to the tally and possibly can tick a box on my silver bingo card for my Vintage Mystery challenge, I will check later. Two bonus plusses.
Verdict......well I didn't manage to guess the culprit or guilty party or unravel the mystery in any of the tales before the big reveal, so that was good. And AC can certainly paint a vivid picture for you of her characters; in this particular instance a bed-bound spinster.........with a good deal of greyish-yellow hair untidily wound around her head and erupting into curls, the whole thing looked like a bird's nest of which no self-respecting bird could be proud. So another tick there. Thirdly, most of the stories engaged me and had me speeding along to the end, so I can't in all honesty feign indifference.
I think what struck me was how unsympathetic most of her victims and villains all appeared to be. In the case of the hidden legacy, I didn't like old Uncle Henry's beneficiaries and was half hoping that Miss Marple was unable (or perhaps more entertainingly) unwilling to solve the riddle and therefore deprive the horrible, vile rats of their inheritance. I guess Marple though couldn't possibly dare to fail. There's something a little bit unappealing to me about someone who has to be shown to be the cleverest person in the room, all the time. She might just be a little too smug and self-satisfied for me to tolerate too much of her. Time will tell; maybe a longer exposure to our elderly spinster's charms will seduce me and have me swooning helplessly in admiration? The 4.50 from Paddington may seal the deal! I'm prepared to be wooed.
Last observation, I'm unsure when these were originally written – this collection was originally published in 1979, but there are probably too many servants and mistresses, or gentry-types and underlings for me to want to spend too much time in their company. A bit too dated, a bit too Upstairs-Downstairs, a bit too class conscious and a bit too genteel for me. Each to their own, but I will probably not read too many of her other books.
Anyway I must dash......tea and scone time in the drawing room, nanny's just rung the bell.......... yummy – so toodle pips!

I bought my copy second-hand recently.
8 short stories, the first 6 of which are classic Miss Marple. Very enjoyable! The last two are slightly eerie and don't feature Miss Marple at all.
