Could this be a bad Water Pump??
I have a 1965 Plymouth Belvedear 273 V8 engine, automatic transmission, no air.
While trying to discover why my heater has stopped working I started to feel water hoses after the engine warmed up and reached operating temperature for about 10 minutes, and it is a little strange.
The two heater hoses are so hot you can't hold on long, the upper radiator hose is mildly warm, and the lower radiator hose is almost cold. Could this be a bad water pump?
The engine never over heats, reaches operating temperature in 7 minutes, heater core cleaned recently, good air flow across core, shut off valve on core was removed, but the heater only blows cold air. (The heater worked fine for about 30 days) Any ideas.
Its not a bad water pump or you would (1) hear it, (2) it would leak, or (3) the engine would overheat. If tyhe heater hoses are hot then they are circulating water through the heater core. If the heater is blowing cold air then its not running air through the heater core. I would check the vents under your dash to make sure a cable hasn't broken or a vacume hose hasn't come off. I think you are just blowing cold vent air.
I think the heater hoses come off the manifold below the thermostat, so they will circulate hot water before it opens.
Good luck,
It does sound like your system uses a heater door to route the air through the core, and this door is not opening to the heater box.
You may need to back flush your heater core? try disconnecting the heater hoses and flush with garden hose but watch the water pressure! You will be surprised of the crap that will come out of it! and check the blend air door in the heater box as said above.
I can't tell you how gratefull I am that you guys were able to solve my problem. I have been loosing sleep over this for a week so this is a load off my chest.
When the heater stopped working I discovered a box under the dash that one vacuum line came in from the intake manifold, and had three outgoing vacuum lines. This box would not hold a vacuum so I knew it was bad. All of the other vacuum diaphram operated doors were OK. I don't know what you call this and doubt I would ever find a replacement, so I plugged the vacuum port on the intake manifold and opened the air inlet door, and the air outlet door. When I turned on the heater I felt the air coming out like always only it was cold. The third door is out of site near the top and I failed to open that. When I did, I had heat. I have 20 service manuals and not one had any information on serviceing the heater so you guys are a god send.
Now does anyone know what that box I referred to is called and if it would be possible to repair or replace it? Thanks so much for the help.
no genius here , but i believe that would be the "heater core".

HotRod, don't pay any attention to little punks like keithrock. They just have nothing better to do than come on boards like this and put people down. I'm glad you got it fixed and I hope you find a replacement!
Vacuum control box
The box I was referring to is some type of vacuum manifold control panel and has nothing to do with the heater core other than opening and closing air passageways to the heater core.

Am not sure but I think I have heard them refered to as a blend door.
On a Pontiac it would probably be a vacuum switch valve, but on a Plymouth I won't have a guess. Your best bet would be contacting someone that specializes in parting out Mopars for a used replacement. Is there any way to take it apart and see where you are loosing vacuum? Usually there's an o-ring or two and a gasket that might go bad. Maybe you could patch it up where it might give you a few more years of service.

Well pups, I became a big sister today. Whoop-dee-do! I'm not sure yet if I like this idea. My new little sister's name is Ellie and she's also a Dobiegirl. I have to admit that she's pretty darn cute! I just wish she could play like a big girl already! For some reason when I try to play with her she gets kinda scared. Must be because she's only six weeks old. Mom and Dad are trying to show me that I'm still their baby too, so that's good! What's funny is that I get to go on my walk twice a day and Ellie doesn't get to go because she too small! hahahahaha! Oops, that might have been a little mean. Sorry Ellie! Mom is going to start a Dogster page for Ellie real soon so that you can all see her.
Well, gotta go be a big sister.
Well, I'm a big girl now! I turned a year old on the 27th of July!!!!! My silly mom made me a cake! I even got a little piece of it! My Mom and I have the very same birthday so we celebrated together. I think she's a little older than me though (actually, ALOT older! hahaha!) Dad took me to the dog park the morning of my birthday and I had so much fun with all my buddies! I got so many new toys from people. I wish every day was my birthday! A BIG THANK YOU to all my Dogster pals who sent me gifts for my special day. I WUV YOU ALL!!

The IGA store in St.-Pascal de Kamouraska, Quebec, has the distinction of being the first supermarket in Canada to earn Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. A showcase of sustainable technologies, the store is expected to use 43% less energy compared to Canadian standards for similar buildings.
A good part of the savings is attributed to the heating system, which combines wall-mounted solar air heating, a form of heat recovery and fabric duct. It is completely sustainable and uses no fossil fuels, and provides 100% of the supermarket's space-heating requirement (all three elements also were major contributors to LEED certification). When government and utility incentives were applied, the system had a zero payback time (or did not cost anything).
"Engineers consider two years or less a good payback on sustainable equipment," said Simon Berube, senior director, store engineering, Sobeys Quebec, Quebec City, a subsidiary of Empire Co. Ltd. which operates more than 1,300 stores in Canada under such banners as IGA, Foodland and Sobeys. "But this store was paid back from day one."
The space heating consists of a wall-mounted solar thermal system (by Enerconcept Technologies, Magog, Quebec), fabric ductwork (DuctSox Corp., Dubuque, Iowa) and heat recovery (SmartRed Compressor Systems Control, Vaudreuil, Quebec). A high-efficiency DX air-handling system (Carrier Corp., Syracuse, N.Y.) provides air conditioning, using the same fabric ductwork system.
Solar heating: The solar-heating system consists of an 1,800-sq.-ft. black metal "box" on the store's southwest wall. The unit, mounted so that it protrudes six inches away from the building, heats outside air up to as much as 54 F above the outdoor ambient temperature. The system draws in outside air through the bottom and the heated air rises through a patented baffle system before it is delivered to the air-handling system.
The DuctSox fabric duct, which is 90% lighter than metal, is designed to provide maximized indoor air quality. It has linear vents that run the entire length of the duct. The vents disperse air more evenly than conventional metal duct/register systems, making the air-handler run times shorter.
"There aren't drafts or cold/hot spots associated with conventional registers and generally the indoor air quality in the store is better with fabric ductwork," Berube said. "In stores with metal duct/register systems, there are definitely drafts and customers typically feel chilled in the refrigerated-case aisles."
Heat from the compressor racks is recovered and supplied to a plate heat exchanger to bring the solar-heated air up to temperature set points.
The refrigeration system features heat reclamation with a secondary glycol loop that reduces the store's refrigerants requirement by more than 700 lbs. compared to a similarly sized conventional supermarket.
"Some day we hope to eliminate all refrigerants from our new stores," Berube said.
In other green features, the store also has high-efficiency T5 fluorescent lighting, a parking-lot catch-basin system that separates automotive oils from rainwater and a complete building automation system for all mechanical equipment (by Carrier Micro Thermal Technologies). Also, water consumption has been reduced by 47%.
The St.-Pascal IGA is Sobeys IGA's first LEED-certified building, but it won't hold that distinction very long. The company is currently building a distribution center in Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, which will also be submitted for LEED certification, and a second supermarket, in Riviere-des-Prairies, Quebec, is in the process of obtaining certification.
"Today, all new Sobeys Quebec supermarkets are constructed according to the principles of sustainable building," Berube said. "I believe it's the social responsibility of all engineers to suggest the implementation of these technologies to their management because we've proven these products are available, functional and cost-effective right now."

Authors: Jose D Perezgonzalez [ed]
Gilbey et al (2010) carried out a pilot study for ascertaining whether mild hypoxia led to more optimistic (or pessimistic) judgements about the likelihood of life events than otherwise. Their results showed that a small group of participants did not change or only slightly changed their judgements about life events under normal and hypoxic conditions. That is, overall optimistic judgement did not change but remained slightly above average. Particular judgements did increase or decrease slightly depending on the condition, but perhaps not enough as for suggesting any sensible effect of mild hypoxia on judgement. Changes occurred in either direction, depending on the judgement, and so there was no tendency for just optimism (or pessimism) to appear more extreme under mildly hypoxic conditions than under normal conditions within this group.

This week's editorial:
Many years ago there was a fight for the world's heavyweight championship between the great fighter Muhammad Ali and his equally talented opponent, Joe Frazier. Frazier battled gallantly for fourteen rounds and took a beating that left him battered as round fifteen was ready to begin. His trainer, Eddie Futch, came to Frazier and said: "Joe, it's over. Sit down, I'm throwing in the towel." Senator Clinton, you have waged a tough campaign and shown the world that you are a campaigner in your own light, but the battle is over and it is time to sit down and acknowledge someone else will be the champion in America. There is never dishonor in losing a battle that one has fought with all weapons at one's command, but continuing a losing struggle at some point moves from the sublime to the ridiculous.
Clinton comments increasingly have entered the domain of Bushism as the senator insults all African Americans and white people by claiming whites will not vote for Obama. As the past months have gone on with vicious comments and nastiness, Senator Clinton has portrayed herself as being capable of out "roving Karl Rove" when it comes to smearing the name of her opponent. We believe the real Senator Hillary Clinton is better than the presidential Hillary Clinton. At the core of her beliefs is respect for all people, and the ongoing insults towards Obama merely reflect emotional fatigue and anger.
Sit down, it's over. Sit down, and accept the needs of the American people and the world that require a new president who will dramatically alter the disastous Bush policies. Hillary Clinton can go down in history as the political leader who graciously stepped down and placed nation before ego or she can go down in history as the ego driven individual who placed her own emotional desires before the needs of her nation. The choice remains in the hands of Hillary Clinton.
Don't ever forget Senator Clinton that a John McCain presidency ensures complete control of the Supreme Court by those who are against women's rights. Can you risk that?

NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. – In a battle of one of the nation's top defenses against one of the most prolific offensive units, No. 6 UMass-Lowell's outstanding backline kept the No. 4 Merrimack field hockey team at bay, as the River Hawks made an early first-half goal hold through the entirety of the match en route to claiming the 2012 Northeast-10 Tournament Championship, 1-0, on a rainy and windy Sunday afternoon at Martone-Mejail Field.
Featuring both teams that battled for the tournament crown nearly a year ago to the day, the River Hawks (18-3) took a one-goal lead in the seventh minute of the match and never relinquished it, as the Warriors (16-3) were thwarted for the second time in as many seasons in the title game after being held to just seven shot attempts over the course of the game.
Vanessa Kent took a pass from Jenna Freitas across the goalmouth and buried it into the right side of the cage for the go-ahead goal at 6:05 of the first half, and that would be all the game would see as far as scoring was concerned.
Both opposing goalkeepers went relatively unchallenged, as neither senior Kerri Bergquist (Mashpee, Mass.) and River Hawk netminder Melanie Hopkins recorded a save, while junior Sarah Dunbar (Hubbardston, Mass.) collected a defensive save for the home side to keep the deficit at just a goal.
UMass-Lowell came soaring out of the gates, as the game's first four shots were recorded by the River Hawks while possession remained mostly in the Merrimack defensive end for most of the first half.
The Warriors did manage to fight back in the waning moments of the first half, generating late scoring chances by means of their four penalty corner sin the first frame alone. But Hopkins and the defense in front of her limited Merrimack to only three shot attempts in the first half, while the River Hawks posted four attempts with two on net.
The second half, however, saw the Warriors surely but slowly begin to generate momentum, as play remained in the River Hawk's scoring circle for extended periods of time. Still, the UMass-Lowell defense – led by Tournament Most Valuable Player and NE-10 Defensive Player of the Year Sarah Wilcox – did not break as Merrimack continued to look for the equalizer as the period progressed.
Finally, with less than three minutes to play, senior forward April Daugherty (Wakefield, R.I.) broke through the potent defense and wound and fired a shot through traffic that seemed destined for the cage, but the attempt rolled wide by a number of inches on the left side of the goalmouth to keep the River Hawks ahead.
Merrimack attempted to generate a few last-effort chances with a minute to play, but UMass-Lowell held until the final whistle was blown, as the River Hawks came away with their third consecutive tournament title.
Both teams finished with seven shot attempts apiece and four penalty corners each, while Daugherty and senior Jen Otis (Penacook, N.H.) led Merrimack with two shot attempts.
Freshman Christine Zubkus (Dover, N.H.) and sophomore Katie Bishop (Conway, N.H.) were named to the 2012 NE-10 Field Hockey All-Championship Team, along with UMass-Lowell's Rachel McCarthy, Wilcox, and Kent. Bentley's Julia Powell and Adelphi's Molly Cuevas also earned spots on the all-championship squad.
Next up, the Warriors will learn their NCAA Tournament fate, as the tournament's Selection Show will air live on NCAA.com on 2:00 p.m.

Jan. 15, 2014
University of Michigan assistant volleyball coach Erin Virtue was busy during the holidays, coaching at the USA Volleyball High Performance Girls' Holiday Camp in Colorado Springs, Colo. Forty-eight of the top players in the Select age group were chosen for this camp, offering the opportunity for the top players in the country to train in the USA system. Virtue talks about her introduction to USA Volleyball, the level of play at the Holiday Camp and what's in the future for her at the national level.
Q: When did you first start the relationship with USA Volleyball as both a player and a coach?
A: I can remember, very clearly, the first time I put on a USA jersey as a player ... it was May 2004 and I had made the USA Collegiate National Team (formerly known as the USA Senior A2 Team). I was selected as a captain by my coaches John Cook, Lee Maes and Paula Weishoff. It was such a proud moment for me to represent USA and one that I won't soon forget. My coaching career with USA Volleyball began in 2007, after both my collegiate and professional/USA career had ended.
Q: When did USA Volleyball approach you to coach the USA Girls' Select Holiday Camp?
A: USA Volleyball first approached me about four months prior to the camp, during our 2013 season. I was honored to be selected at the Lead Coach for the camp, and was lucky to have such a rockstar staff to work with throughout the five days in Colorado Springs.
Q: How tough was it to get ready for the camp while still having your coaching duties at Michigan?
A: It wasn't easy -- that's for sure. The timing of the Holiday Camp is tough, but I thought that it all went smoothly -- and in the end, the camp ran great! The eight coaches that were on staff with me were fantastic and really helped carry a big load once we all met up at the Olympic Training Center.
Q: How would you describe the level of play at the camp?
A: The level of play at camp was excellent. The Select group was comprised of the top 48 athletes in their age group from all around the USA. In the next couple of years, this group will be competing for spots on our Youth National Team.
Q: Were you in a camp like this when you were younger?
A: Unfortunately, this type of developmental camp didn't exist when I was younger. The USA High Performance Team has done a great job of opening up opportunities for young athletes to develop and compete with the best of the best in their age group ... this has shown to be an extremely positive experience for the athletes to go through the pipeline from a young age of 13 or 14 all the way until they are hopefully competing in the Olympic Games for the USA.
Q: What is next for the campers and yourself in USA Volleyball?
A: The athletes that I worked with, and all USA High Performance hopefuls, will tryout for a 2014 summer program. Tryouts are held all over the country for the next few months. The athletes will be placed teams from the Junior National Team all the way down to the Select National Team based on their birth year. As for me ... there are a few things brewing, but I can't announce that quite yet ... I am really looking forward to the opportunity to represent the USA as a coach once again this summer.

Yes. Spare mag is in the SmartCarry along with the gun. I slip the SmartCarry off and place it nearby, next to the flashlight. I also have my cell phone clipped to my SmartCarry in case I need to call for reinforcements.

I do one better. i put my 1911 on the nightstand along with my two spare mags
then I pull the Desert Warrior with the X200 and two 10 round mags and put those there...right next to the AR15 loaded with 75 grain Hornady TAPs
I don't want to mess with stumbling to the safe when the zombies hit
"If I was an extremist, our founding fathers would all be extremists," he said. "Without them, we wouldn't have our independence. We'd be a disarmed British system of feudal subjectivity."
Ha, ha, ha.... I have 2 guns... so I don't have to worry initially about reloading a clip ) ....... then 2 extra clips for each. A shotgun and 2 other handguns are only 5 steps and a 4 digit number away.
I always have at least one extra mag for each pistol, a couple for my AR 4 feet away and at least 5 flashlights within reach.
Gun control can be blamed in part for allowing 9/11 to happen.

No extra magazine, just the P-3at and flash light.
While my shtf plan is not the best, if I had to guess, most of us on this forum are better prepared than 99% of the population.
Long term plan is to buy something used such as a Glock/XD type that has a high capacity magazine, mount a light to the rail (not necessarily always use it) I would also have a handheld flashlight, purchase 1 spare magazine for it, and keep it in a small safe on/buy the bed. At night I would swap out my ECD for the night gun and should be good to go for bumps in the night.
An ounce of lead is worth 200lbs of cop.
Whatever pistol I have access too also has at least one spare mag in a mag holder on whatever pants I will be donning as I get out of bed.
870 and other goodies are also available to defend the family and home if necessary.

It is better to have your gun and not need it, than to need it and not have it!
You cannot choose the conditions for a gunfight, so train in all conditions!
I keep the 19 in the bedstand with 1 in the chamber, holstered. Then 3 spare loaded mags and 100 rds of ball ammo. I just want to be ok if the zombies come. Oh i also got the savage 5ft away. But that is no good in the house but incase i go to the roof to pick some off. I need to stop come up with a better senario. LOL
The choices you make today define you of who you are tommorow

Yes, of course. My bedroom is my 'safe' room. If under attack I can baricade it. I have 2 spare mags for my Bedroom pistol as well as my daily carry pistol.
A loaded 44 Mag carbine and over 1000 rounds of 45ACP and 500 rnds of 44Mag.
I have about a dozen loaded guns in the house at anyone time and they all have extra mags.

One extra magazine for 2 different pistols I may be carrying. I'll carry the G30 for awhile and then the P99. Its easier to keep 2 magazines in the nightstand. I also keep extra loaded magazines in my SUV. Plus an extra on me when out and about. I use 16 round magazines for SD ammo and have 3 of them. I have 15 rd magazines for target and practice shooting.
Its possible for me to have 64 SD rounds available when out of town with the Walther.
HELGA: Where are you going?
HAGAR: To sign a peace treaty with the King of England.
HELGA: Then why take all those weapons?
HAGAR: First we gotta negotiate...
Yap... one of those Glock 18...30 shot magazines.
I keep two 10 round mags in a double mag holster inside my safe along with my carry gun of that day loaded with a third 10 rd. mag., minimum.
Most often though two pistols are kept there along with 3 to 4 mags per pistol and chambering be it .45 or 9MM.
I grab a gun and the mag holster in one motion with ease. The safe is digital and I've memorized the keypad and practiced at entering the code in pitch black (bathroom with door closed and light out).
It's better to have too much at hand than not enough, and need it.

Kerr County, Texas
Kerr County is a county located on the Edwards Plateau in the U.S. state of Texas. As of the 2010 census, its population was 49,625.[1] Its county seat is Kerrville.[2] The county was named by Joshua D. Brown for his fellow Kentucky native, James Kerr, a congressman of the Republic of Texas.

The Kerrville, TX Micropolitan Statistical Area includes all of Kerr County.
Around 8000 BC, early Native American inhabitants arrived in the area, with numerous successive cultures following in prehistoric times. Historic tribes encountered by Europeans included the Kiowa, Comanche, and Lipan Apache.[3]
In 1842, the Adelsverein[4] Fisher-Miller Land Grant set aside 3,000,000 acres (12,000 km²) to settle 600 families and single men of German, Dutch, Swiss, Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian ancestry in Texas.[5] Henry Francis Fisher sold his interest in the land grant to the Adelsverein in 1844.
In 1845, Prince Carl of Solms-Braunfels secured the title to 1,265 acres (5.12 km2) of the Veramendi grant, including the Comal Springs and River, for the Adelsverein. Thousands of German immigrants were stranded at port of disembarkation, Indianaola on Matagorda Bay. With no food or shelter, living in holes dug into the ground, an estimated 50% died from disease or starvation.[6][7] Joshua Brown, in 1846, became the first settler.[8]
The Texas State Convention of Germans met in San Antonio on May 14–15, 1854, and adopted a political, social, and religious platform, including: 1) Equal pay for equal work, 2) Direct election of the President of the United States, 3) Abolition of capital punishment, 4) "Slavery is an evil, the abolition of which is a requirement of democratic principles..", 5) Free schools – including universities - supported by the state, without religious influence, and 6) Total separation of church and state.[9] The next year, United States Army post Camp Verde was established.[10] Kerr County was formed in 1856 from Bexar Land District Number 2. Joshua Brown donated the land that became Kerrville, and had it named for his friend James Kerr. Kerrville was named the county seat.[3] The U.S. Camel Corps, headquartered at Verde, was the brainchild of United States Secretary of War (1853–57) Jefferson Davis.[11] Center Point was established in 1859.[12]
In 1860-1861, the county population was 634, including 49 slaves. The Sons of Hermann lodge, for descendents of German heritage, was established in the county. The lodge is named for German chieftain folk hero Hermann the Cherusker.[3] A bitterly divided Kerr County voted 76-57in 1861 for secession from the Union, with most German residents being against it. Unionists from Kerr, Gillespie, and Kendall Counties participated in the formation of the Union League, a secret organization to support President Lincoln's policies.[13] The Union League formed companies to protect the frontier against Indians and their families against local Confederate forces. Conscientious objectors to the military draft were primarily among Tejanos and Germans . Confederate authorities imposed martial law on Central Texas. The Nueces massacre occurred in Kinney County. Jacob Kuechler served as a guide for 61 conscientious objectors attempting to flee to Mexico. Scottish-born Confederate irregular James Duff and his Duff's Partisan Rangers pursued and overtook them at the Nueces River; 34 were killed, some executed after being taken prisoner. Jacob Kuechler survived the battle. The cruelty shocked the people of Gillespie County. About 2,000 took to the hills to escape Duff's reign of terror. Spring Creek Cemetery near Harper in Gillespie County has a singular grave with the names Sebird Henderson, Hiram Nelson, Gus Tegener, and Frank Scott. The inscription reads, "Hanged and thrown in Spring Creek by Col. James Duff's Confederate Regiment."[14][15][16] The Treue der Union Monument ("Loyalty to the Union") in Comfort was dedicated to the Texans slain at the Nueces massacre August 10, 1866. It is the only monument to the Union outside of the National Cemeteries on Confederate territory, and is one of only six such sites allowed to fly the United States flag at half-mast in perpetuity.[17][18] The Y O Ranch was founded in 1880 by Charles Armand Schreiner, who had opened a store in the area in 1869.[19]
In 1887, the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway was built through Kerrville. The American Legion of Texas established what eventually was called the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Kerrville, in 1919.[20]
The Schreiner Institute was established in Kerrville from 1917 to 1923.[21] In 1926, Ora Johnson established Camp Waldemar Christian girls camp in Hunt.[22]
Mooney Aircraft was established in 1929 in Kerrville.[23] Kerrville was begun to be called the "Mohair Capital of the World" in 1930.[3] The Sid Peterson Memorial Hospital was completed in 1949.[24]
Kerrville State Hospital opened in 1951.[25]
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 1,107 square miles (2,870 km2), of which 1,103 square miles (2,860 km2) is land and 4.0 square miles (10 km2) (0.4%) is water.[26]

LAKE MARTIN, Ala. – Lake Martin lived up to its reputation of being a tough, infertile lake. Conditions for the tournament were the best central Alabama had seen in weeks. Air temps starting out at freezing and warmed throughout the day to upper 50s and low 60s; it made for an enjoyable day on the lake. The water temps were still a bit on the chilly side, barely cracking 50 degrees by the end of the day. Lake Martin is known for crystal clear water; however, on this day, the water ranged from muddy to very muddy with low visibility.
Fishing was tough for most anglers but a few found the kicker fish needed to anchor a competitive bag for Lake Martin. The majority of the anglers weighed in limit bags of 5 fish that weighed 7-9 pounds. The heaviest weights were anchored by big fish averaging 4 pounds with the largest of the tournament being a 7.62 largemouth closely followed by a 6.14 largemouth. The heaviest bass were found shallow in prespawn patterns around structure. Most were caught on small shallow running crankbaits and lipless rattlebaits. See FULL RESULTS.

Re: Plotting a series of Roots
Have you looked at the pieces of your construction? Before compounding one
complex expression inside another and then wondering why the whole thing
doesn't work, why not look at the steps on their own, outside of the
Manipulate? Looking at the beginning, s1 is just a simple straight line
through the origin, and t1 is just a constant. I don't see what is
interesting about that. Maybe something interesting comes later? It looks
like you are "multiplying" a Plot times a Column and I don't understand what
that could mean.
I think you would make more progress if you developed the parts of your
construction first and made sure they worked and returned the entities you
were expecting and only then put together the Manipulate presentation.

Ubuntu is an African world view or philosophy in which people can only find fulfilment through interacting with other people. Thus it represents a spirit of kinship across both race and creed which unites mankind to a common purpose.
More and more, we are discovering that everyone and everything is interconnected. What hurts you hurts me. What heals you heals me. Ubuntu is the philosophy behind Chris' acupuncture practise - to be of service to the North Shore community and to treat individuals with respect and dignity and part of the greater whole. She provides quality care in accordance with Traditional Chinese Medicine for the integration of body, mind and spirit and strives to empower patients with education to promote longevity and well being.
If you are on Government Premium Assistance or have a limited income, please contact Chris to discuss acupuncture payment options. Quality health care is available to everyone.
Archbishop Desmond Tutu on Ubuntu
"It is the essence of being human. It speaks of the fact that my humanity is caught up and is inextricably bound up in yours. I am human because I belong. It speaks about wholeness, it speaks about compassion. A person with ubuntu is welcoming, hospitable, warm and generous, willing to share. Such people are open and available to others, willing to be vulnerable, affirming of others, do not feel threatened that others are able and good, for they have a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that they belong in a greater whole.."
Nelson Mandela on Ubuntu
"A traveller through our country would stop at a village, and he didn't have to ask for food or for water. Once he stops, the people give him food, entertain him. That is one aspect of Ubuntu but Ubuntu has various aspects
Ubuntu does not mean that people should not enrich themselves. The question therefore is: Are you going to do so in order to enable the community around you to improve?"
Anthropologist on Ubuntu
An anthropologist proposed a game to some children in an African tribe. He put a basket full of fruit near a tree and told the kids that who ever got there first won the sweet fruits. When he told them to run they all took each others hands and ran together, then sat together enjoying their treats. When he asked them why they had run like that as one could have had all the fruits for himself they said, "UBUNTU, how can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad?" UBUNTU in the Xhosa culture means: I am because of who we are.

FAIRFIELD, Conn. – With a rock-hard crust of snow on the ground and recent frostbite-inducing air temperatures, it seems untimely to be thinking about baseball.

Window & Door Hardware at GlassBuild
Tru-Lock multipoint hardware for entry doors provides increased security while allowing the homeowner traditional flexibility in trim set hardware. From Amesbury Door Hardware, the system easily incorporates into standard double bore panel systems of all types and is adaptable to work with most handle brands in the market today, the supplier states. Besides providing point-of-purchase selection of handle hardware, the system also enables the homeowner to change the trim set in the future if his or her decorative tastes change. Once installed, the system functions the same as a standard latch and deadbolt, eliminating the operational confusion experienced with euro-groove style systems, it is noted.
The Omega line of constant force balance hardware has been expanded with the addition of a new inverted constant force system, the new Hyperion egress system, and a new 10-pound coil for the existing Universal balance. The inverted product offers better egress and operating forces than the existing constant force systems, the supplier reports. An exclusive T-head design allows an easier and faster installation while maintaining a greater breaking force. While previously a separate coil size was need, the Hyperion egress system can mount above the tilt latch using existing Universal coils. The new coil provides additional inventory level reductions and cost savings.

DualTech V2 hardware integrates the tilt and lock function of hung style vinyl windows. To be featured by Ashland Hardware Systems, the hardware combines simple, intuitive operation with a clean lock rail appearance while delivering a performance and security level that exceed industry standards, according to the supplier. The hardware works with about 70 percent of existing window designs, which means in most cases manufacturers don't need to make a difficult vinyl switch.
The supplier is also showcasing its Optima casement system for vinyl windows, said to help achieve water resistance beyond any known competitive offering. The hardware features watertight, O-ring seal technology integrated within the operator, high performance steel construction incorporating an advanced composite assembly to reduce transfer of heat and cold into the home and a progressive lock-up mechanism that delivers 30 percent more vertical motion for maximum sash pull-in to close the window.

The hardware uses a strong Cam-Bolt design, hooking in behind the strike like a camlock for added load performance and superior forced entry resistance, the supplier notes. The flexible locking platform can be surface mounted or recessed and applied to wood, vinyl or aluminum windows. A true indication security feature allows homeowners to identify by sight if the lock has been triggered and the window is locked. The One-Motion operation-capable magnetic sash lock offers flexible actuation, allowing for unlimited styling options, a detent feature for convenient operation, and a contact-less magnetic trigger that eliminates the potential for damage to grilles on divided lites, the company reports.
Also new from Interlock is the Twin Bolt Lock, specifically designed for easy installation on wood folding doors and French door inactive panels. The hardware features a concealed shoot bolt mechanism with two counteractive shoot bolt rods thrown into the head and sills–both of which are activated by a 90° rotation of a single flush handle, providing unprecedented convenience for the homeowner. Additionally, a unique flush lever handle design avoids contact when panels are folded.

RIVERSIDE, Calif. (May 7, 2014) – Blacoh Fluid Control launched Blacoh University, an online e-learning application for industry professionals.
According to Blacoh's president Andrew Yeghnazar, Blacoh University is a learning tool dedicated to the discovery, development and communication of knowledge relating to fluid dynamics and control across a variety of industries.
With the launch of Blacoh University, Blacoh introduced a companion website to the company's existing site with functionality similar to other learning management system (LMS) applications. LMS refers to various software applications ranging from systems for managing training and educational records to the distribution of online educational courses with features focused on interactive learning.
As a manufacturer headquartered in the US, Blacoh delivers products to the marketplace through a global distribution network supported by sales offices around the world. "We are formalizing the way in which we train and coach our distributors, and expanding our horizons by providing learning tools for plant maintenance personnel and the engineering community," said Mr. Yeghnazar. "This is not just about providing information. There is an enormous amount of data out there. We're taking that information and presenting it in a way that makes it relevant and useful."
Blacoh sees this new endeavor in e-learning as a natural expansion of its core business. In the complex world of fluid processing and liquid handling systems, Blacoh manufactures highly engineered products to solve problems commonly associated with industrial and municipal pumping systems. Blacoh University course curriculum for distributors covers the basics of pulsation dampening in applications using various types of positive displacement pumps. Courses designed for the engineering community provide more in-depth analysis of fluid processing systems in general and design related issues such as acceleration head, water hammer and hydraulic surge.
James Burke, Director of Engineering at Blacoh, was instrumental in developing Blacoh University's Engineering Series. "For engineers in our industry, much of what we know comes from experience and tribal knowledge. It's not taught in school or included in company training programs. We focused on what was lacking, gathered detailed and reliable content from trusted experts, and developed e-learning courses specifically for engineers."
Each Blacoh University instructional video is followed with an online interactive exam, and participants are able to track their progress as they go along. Blacoh University certifications are awarded for completing courses in the Distributor Series. For the Engineer Series, certificates with course information and credits for professional development hours (PDH) are provided.
In addition to course instruction, the Blacoh University website includes detailed product assembly videos for maintenance personnel and a variety of relevant articles and white papers for additional study.
Blacoh Fluid Control focuses on solving common pumping systems problems.

Professor Penney Lewis of The Dickson Poon School of Law, King's College London has today been appointed as an Authority Member to the Human Tissue Authority (HTA) by the Secretary of State for Health.
The role will see Professor Lewis join four other new Authority Members, who will advise and shape the HTA's strategy, maintain oversight and assessment of complicated living transplant cases and hold the Executive to account. The Authority is accountable to the Department of Health and Parliament for the activities and performance of the HTA. The other new Members appointed are: Dr Stuart Dollow; Professor Dame Sally Macintyre; The Rt Revd Graham Usher and Dr Lorna Williamson.
The HTA is the regulator for human tissue and organs and was created by Parliament as a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department of Health following inquiries which uncovered a culture in hospitals of removing and retaining human organs and tissues without consent. The HTA's remit is to regulate organisations that remove, store and use human tissue for research, medical treatment, post-mortem examination, education and training, and public display. The HTA works to ensure that human tissue and organs are used safely, ethically, and with proper consent.
Professor Lewis is Co-Director of the Centre of Medical Law & Ethics at King's and has published on a wide range of medical law topics, including advance decision-making, refusal of treatment, assisted dying, medical treatment of children and medical procedures which are against the interests of adults lacking capacity. She teaches Medical Law and Law at the End of Life to both undergraduate and postgraduate students. Professor Lewis's knowledge of the legal and ethical issues surrounding organ donation and transplantation, end of life decision-making, and clinical research has been augmented by work as a member of the UK Donation Ethics Committee and the St Christopher's Hospice Clinical Ethics Committee, and as Vice-Chair of the King's College London Research Ethics Committee. Professor Lewis was a member of a small expert group which recently published recommendations on the ethical, legal and psychosocial aspects of organ donation after circulatory death (DCD) as part of a joint effort of the European Society of Organ Transplantation and a group of European Competent Authorities including NHS Blood and Transplant. She is also an invited member of the Working Group on Deceased Donation of the European Platform on Ethical, Legal and Psychosocial Aspects of Organ Transplantation (ELPAT).
Of her new role, Professor Lewis said: 'I am very much looking forward to the challenge of contributing to the important work of the Human Tissue Authority. My committee work in the fields of research ethics, clinical ethics at the end of life, and donation ethics has given me the opportunity to collaborate with committee members from a wide range of stakeholders and with varied experience and expertise. This has provided invaluable context, and an appreciation of the complexity involved in both individual cases and policy and guidance formulation. I am eager to use this experience to participate in ensuring the effective and successful governance of the HTA.'
Sharmila Nebhrajani OBE, Chair of the HTA, welcomed the new appointments saying:
'I am delighted to be welcoming our five new authority members to the HTA Board. They are each outstanding technical experts in their fields from pathology and bio-ethics to commercial biotech and public health research. This, combined with their wisdom and general experience, will be an enormous help to the HTA as it continues its important and sensitive work.'

Two of my kids are autistic, so for the past three years we have been taking one or both of them to a special preschool for autistic children in a beautifully scenic neighbourhood called Crescent Beach. Yesterday, however, that era came to an end. One of my kids still has a year of preschool to go, but the preschool itself is moving to a new location… so, after three years of making the half-hour trek there and back three times a week, we said goodbye.
And the reason I mention it here? Because there's a movie connection, sort of! One of the houses that lines the walkway at Crescent Beach was featured in Tron Legacy (2010), as the house where Flynn tells a bedtime story to his young son Sam.

I have a Toyota Tacoma pick-up and the headlights were beginning to oxidize pretty bad. I was at the dealer getting my oil changed when I inquired on the replacement price. I about fell over when they said $279.00 + tax (7%). I could not believe the headlights would be almost $600 to replace so I went online to www.Go-Parts.com and seen the same headlights for $50.00. I ordered one thinking I would take a chance and worried if I would be disappointed. They arrived quickly and to my surprise were exactly the same (minus the oxidation) and went in no problem. They even came with new bulbs already in them. I ordered the other headlight and had the same great experience. Go-Parts has exceeded my expectations in service, quality, and price. I recommend the site to everyone I know!

Saint-Denis, only 5 miles away from downtown Paris, owns the sad record of criminality in France. Of course, we are not talking murders as France is still a country where violent crimes are not a common fact, but thefts, riots and drug traffic. So very few would believe that Saint-Denis also can look like a common countryside town where people will come for a midday rest contemplating the slow flow of the Seine River.

Not ever having been a parent, but having had lots of nieces and nephews, I'm suspecting that this adorable Russian little girl, who has to be around 1 years of age, is mimicking her father (I think).

> 8x10 Tasveer
Shailendra Singh
Nagesh Kukunoor
Music Director
Salim Merchant, Sulaiman Merchant, Neeraj Shridhar, Bohemia
Akshay Kumar, Ayesha Takia, Sharmila Tagore, Javed Jaffrey, Girish Karnad, Anant Mahadevan, Benjamin Gilani Rushad Rana, Utara Pawkar
Nagesh Kukunoor enters a new zone with 8 x 10 TASVEER: Suspense-thriller. His choice of the genre and subject material is also right. Yet, 8 x 10 TASVEER goes wrong, horribly wrong.
Now what was that? This is one question that haunts you at the end of the show. And, seriously, you want to direct this question to Kukunoor, who is also credited as the writer of this film.
Okay, lets dissect... The concept is interesting. The atmosphere is perfect. The mystery deepens with each passing minute. Just when you thought that Kukunoor had pulled it off, a twist in the tale pulls the carpet off your feet. The film crumbles and the impression generated by some brilliantly executed sequences evaporate into thin air.
For any whodunit to succeed, it ought to hold your interest till the very last frame. Most importantly, the answers raised in the screenplay have to be convincing and justified. But 8 x 10 TASVEER gets unbearable towards the penultimate 20-25 minutes. When the mask is taken off the killers face, you are surprised. But the reasons that compelled him to act that way are childish. What happened, Mr. Kukunoor?
To cut a long story short, this tasveer is out of focus!
8 x 10 TASVEER is about Jai [Akshay Kumar], who possesses supernatural powers. Jai is of Indian origin who works as a forest ranger in Canada. His life is shattered by a loss of an important person in his life - his father [Benjamin Gilani]. This personal tragedy leads him to use his unique supernatural powers to unravel the mystery.
Now lets get to the root of the problem: The discrepancies in the script. Of course, 8 x 10 TASVEER is a whodunit and it would be sacrilege to reveal the end or the identity of the killer, but the reasons that compel the murderer to commit crime after crime are unbelievable and far from convincing.
The moment the truth is out in the open, from that point onwards, the writer doesnt have convincing answers to offer. There are so many gaps that remain wide open till the end.
Nagesh Kukunoor goes two steps ahead as a technician, but five steps behind as a storyteller. The film has been shot stylishly and the breath-taking locales of Canada and South Africa only give the film a picture perfect look. But the screenplay is faulty. So faulty that you exit the auditorium with questions and more questions in your mind. The outcome fails to convince.
Vikas Sivaramans cinematography is top notch. The locales are splendid and the DoP has captured them with élan. Theres no scope for music in the film and the three songs [opening titles, romantic song and end credits] are passable. The background score [Salim-Sulaiman] is electrifying.
Akshay pitches in a sincere performance. 8 x 10 TASVEER is a complete departure from the kind of films the actor is popular for and it only goes to prove that hes ready to experiment. Ayesha is natural. Sharmila Tagore is graceful. Jaaved Jaaferi is first-rate. Girish Karnad, Benjamin Gilani, Ananth Mahadevan and Rushaad Rana are perfect in their respective roles.
On the whole, 8 x 10 TASVEER disappoints. The film goes wrong, in fact horribly wrong, in the penultimate 20-25 minutes, which is the lifeline of any suspense-thriller. Nagesh Kukunoor has missed the bus this time!

"People were ripping up Zynga hoodies and T-shirts"
Earlier today we reported on the massive firing from social gaming giant, Zynga. With 520 of their staff gone, this meant that their latest acquisition OMGPOP was sacrificed during the company's shuffle. A former OMGPOP developer has spoken out against their former employer and the final days at the studio. The ex-employee said that he was far from being upset and ultimately, the team felt a kind of "relief" after only working 15 months for the company.
The employee preferred to remain anonymous in his interview with Business Insider but was ultimately known things would come to an end. In their final weeks, he noted they could "feel things were slowing down". With all the usual displeasure that redundancy brings, it was good to see the former employee as optimistic. "Most layoffs are sad. You imagine big corporate settings where security is there to lead people out of the office so they don't make a scene. This was the opposite. Music was being played loudly, and people were ripping up Zynga hoodies and T-shirts."
Only six weeks after Draw Something was released and Zynga announced that it was closing OMGPOP along with other United States offices in Los Angeles, Austin and Dallas. A total of 18% of their workforce gone in the blink of an eye and we hope that the developers, producers, artists and musicians all find work soon.
The employee added that there was little explanation at the time and they were told with "no hard facts or figures". "Just typical corporate BS," as he or she called it. Some had thought the disbandment of OMGPOP would have come sooner when their (former) boss Dan Porter decided to leave Zynga only days before Draw Something 2's release date.
OMGPop may have been the last hopeful bastion for social games and with nothing new or exciting on the horizon, it's hard to imagine the trend going past 2013. Draw Something was a wonderful memetic sensation that I clearly remember having hours of fun with friends, strangers and family, all with just a bit of drawing and our imagination.
This is for you OMGPOP!

When Dollhouse was good, it was very, very good. And when it was bad — oh never mind. Joss Whedon and Eliza Dushku's mind-wiped-escorts-for-hire show is TV history, but the sci-fi series lives on in perpetuity thanks to the Dollhouse: The Complete Second Season DVD, released Tuesday.
To mark the occasion, Dollhouse writer Maurissa Tancharoen and tunesmith Jed Whedon came up with a melancholy ballad called "Remains." Despite the somber melody, director Anton King's music video (embedded above) culminates in a happy ending after two replicant housewives emerge from packing crates to seek their fates.

As the executive vice president for operations, Franklin assists the president in setting the strategic direction for the University. He provides leadership by implementing strategy for BJU Press, the campus infrastructure, retail operations and business functions (including finance, human resources and technology systems).
Franklin also serves on the boards for the Greenville Area Development Corporation, Carolina Alliance Bank of Spartanburg, South Carolina and The Wilds Christian Camp and Conference Center in Brevard, North Carolina.
Franklin earned a BS in professional accounting at BJU in 1987 and later became a CPA. He and his wife live in Greenville and are members of Faith Baptist Church in Taylors, S.C.; they have 3 adult children.

Last year, the Oakland A's were at the .500 mark a team-record 33 times. Fittingly, they finished the season 81-81.
This year, the A's have been at .500 12 times already, so they're on track to break that 2010 record. Sunday's loss to the White Sox put them at 20-20.
What's going on? The A's were expected to contend this season because of their standout pitching. And there are few problems in that department -- Oakland has the best ERA in the league.
The A's best starter, Trevor Cahill, did have his seven-game winning streak come to an end on Sunday in Oakland's 4-3 loss to the White Sox at the Coliseum, but he's 6-1 overall.
The A's have had more defensive trouble over the first month and a half than they should have, but in the past two days against Chicago, Oakland got very good defensive work, apart from Cahill's throwing error, which led to two unearned runs.
Hitting remains the issue, with manager Bob Geren trying to juggle several slumping players, including both third basemen, Kevin Kouzmanoff and Andy LaRoche, second baseman Mark Ellis, and designated hitter Hideki Matsui, who has not started four of the past six games.
A's Notes
--Cahill had his seven-game winning streak, dating back to last season, snapped on Sunday, when he allowed 10 hits, a season-high, and four runs, two earned. Cahill had allowed no more than a run in his previous five starts. He has a 1.29 ERA over his past six starts.
--OF Josh Willingham went 0-for-5 and struck out a career-high-tying four times on Sunday. He also made the final out with the tying run on third. He's the first Oakland player to strike out four times in a game since Gabe Gross last June 5 against the Twins.
--RHP Andrew Bailey threw 18 pitches in an extended spring training game in Arizona on Saturday, using all of his pitches and hitting 92-94 mph with his fastball. Bailey returned to Oakland Sunday to be re-evaluated, and he might head out on a rehab assignment early this week.
--DH Hideki Matsui has started only two of Oakland's past six games, and on Saturday, he did not start against a right-handed pitcher, Chicago's Gavin Floyd. Matsui, who is batting .236, pinch hit in the ninth inning Sunday with two outs and a man at third, and he walked. Manager Bob Geren told reporters Matsui will play more regularly this week because Oakland will be facing right-handed starters.
--2B Mark Ellis extended his career-high streak without a walk to 21 games on Sunday, but he'll get a pass for that game -- he had three hits. That lifted Ellis' average to .194.
BY THE NUMBERS: 45 -- Times the A's have been at the .500 mark since the start of the 2010 season, including 12 times this season after going back to even with Sunday's loss to the White Sox.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "They're coming right after us -- and they should." -- A's manager Bob Geren, about opponents throwing Oakland more strikes because the team as a whole isn't hitting well.

Transportation and industrial shares are diverging in the United States, a signal that equity investors are starting to agree with what the bond market already knows: the U.S. economic recovery will remain sluggish for months to come.
The Dow Jones transportation average fell 3.9 per cent between Feb. 3 and March 9, while the Dow Jones industrial average added 0.5 per cent. The split between the indexes is considered significant because market lore says the transportation and industrial averages must move higher in tandem for market rallies to last.
The transportation gauge consists of 20 railways, trucking companies and airlines ranging from FedEx Corp. to United Continental Holdings Inc. It peaked before the rest of the market when the technology bubble popped in 2000 and began slipping into a bear market three months before broader benchmark indexes in 2007.
"In a healthy market, everything is going in the same direction," Bruce Bittles, chief investment strategist at the Milwaukee-based money manager Robert W. Baird & Co., said. "When that starts to diverge, that raises a flag that potential trouble may be brewing."
Laszlo Birinyi, the founder of market watcher Birinyi Associates Inc. in Westport, Conn., said last week that declines in shipping and smaller companies don't necessarily mean the rally is ending. He remains bullish, based on an analysis of market-cycle lengths. He says this rally must last another year to match the average length of bull markets since World War II.
But U.S. Treasury yields have been stuck near historic lows for months, indicating that fixed-income investors are cautious about the pace of economic growth and are seeking shelter in government bonds.
"You have this bipolar world with very different views on the direction of global economic growth," Wayne Lin, a money manager at the Baltimore-based fund firm Legg Mason Inc., said. "I tend to lean a little more on the bond side just because I see that earnings growth is starting to turn over and there seem to be decelerating economic activities in Europe."
While S&P 500 companies exceeded analysts' profit forecasts for a 12th straight quarter, earnings-per-share for the 472 companies that reported since Jan. 9 rose 4.9 per cent, the slowest rate since 2009.
The U.S. economy will expand 2.2 per cent this year, according to the median forecasts of 79 economists in a Bloomberg survey. While the pace is up from 1.7 per cent in 2011, it's less than the 3.7 per cent average from 1983 to 2000.
"The economy is going to strengthen, but it's going to be a subpar recovery," Jeffrey Saut, chief investment strategist at Raymond James & Associates in St. Petersburg, Fla., said. A level of "1,400 is doable this year on the S&P. Beyond that, we have to see how strong the recovery is," he said.
In the two previous bull markets, shippers peaked ahead of other stocks. While the technology bubble didn't end until March 2000, the Dow transport average was already down 29 per cent at that point from its peak 10 months before.
In the recent financial crisis, the measure began its retreat three months before the S&P 500 hit a high of 1,565.15 on Oct. 9, 2007 and gave way to the worst economic contraction since the Great Depression.
Most analysts don't see the recent decline in the index as being as worrisome as those previous falls.
"This is probably the start of something of a short-term topping process for the S&P 500," Gina Martin Adams, a strategist at Wells Fargo Securities LLC in New York, said. "We're not suggesting it's anything more onerous than a signal that we probably have a little bit of a correction coming."

Perfect Plain Tart and Tartlet Crust
These recipes are from "Entertaining," by Martha Stewart.
- Yield: Makes one 10-inch tart (plain or lattice), two 9-inch tarts, twelve 3-inch tarts, or 24 tiny tartlets
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted margarine
- 1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter
- Approximately 4 tablespoons ice water
Put flour and salt in bowl of food processor. Cut the butter and margarine into small bits and add to the flour. Process 10 seconds, or until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the water little by little, processing as little as possible (10 to 15 seconds). Dough should just hold together in the bowl, but not be wet or sticky. Turn out onto plastic wrap, press into a ball, and chill at least 1 hour before using.
To form tart or tartlet shells, use twice as many pans as projected number of tart or tartlets. Lightly butter or spray with vegetable oil the insides of half the pans.
Roll half the pastry onto a lightly floured board to slightly less than 1/8-inch thick. Cut the pastry slightly larger than the pans, press into pans, and cut away excess with your thumb. Repeat process with rest of pastry. In the case of a large tart, cut the pastry large enough so that there will be a 1/2-inch overhang.
Press the unbuttered pans on top of each of the pastry-filled pans. These act as weights and will prevent shrinkage and puffing while baking. Line large tarts with aluminum foil and weight with beans or rice.
Chill tart or tartlets on baking sheets until ready to bake. This may be done the day before. Do not leave unbaked pastry in the tart shells longer than this or discoloration may occur. Any unused pastry can be tightly wrapped and chilled (up to 2 days) or frozen.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake the shells for 15 to 17 minutes. Press down any pans that puff up. When pastry seems to be coloring very slightly around edges, remove top pans and return pastry to oven to dry out. Do not brown. Cool the shells on racks. If not to be used immediately, store in a tightly covered plastic container in the freezer. Thaw before using.

When a phage invades a host's premises, it delivers only its genome and perhaps a few specialized proteins needed immediately upon arrival. Its plan is simply to supervise production. The host is relied on to provide not only the raw materials and energy, but also the production equipment needed to synthesize phage proteins and nucleic acids. This includes the machinery for further processing each protein as it leaves the ribosome. Sometimes, as in the case of the cyanophages, the host's equipment isn't quite enough.

text: Project Description The Bird Key Residence was purchased for the waterfront location but the existing site lacked function and failed to match the interior's modern aesthetic. Considering the owners desire to take advantage of Florida's temperate climate during seasonal visits, DWY re-created the exterior environment through a series of outdoor spaces designed for cooking, entertaining, dining and swimming. Defined by clean lines, water features and lighting, the new landscape is a true modern retreat.
