I use a max tuck from white hat holsters....the best holster I have ever used. Top Notch! Honestly, you should look at them first, dont waist your time waiting on other holster companies. Reason being, dont even know its there and comfort is priority for me. I got the horse hide with the forest camo, looks great too. I got another kydex for my other S&W j frame and for my Taurus 247. I like the fact that I can use one holster for my guns which saves a ton of money. The kydex I got the S&W is the American flag and is way cool. Definitely check them out. Maxtuck.com
I just bought a Comp-Tac Minotaur MTAC iwb for my XD9sc and love it.
Inside Waistband Holsters - Minotaur Holsters - products new home - Minotaur MTAC Holster
for IWB is use a cross breed supertuck delux in horse hide .OWB i use a don hume 721 open top
I have an XDM 3.8. I live where it gets pretty hot, so I wanted a holster I could use without having to wear double shirts to prevent the rubbing against the skin thing. I found this holster from N82tactical in NC. I love it!! I usually forget I even have it on, it's very comfortable. It has a suade back, which is very smooth against your skin. It's great for motorcycle riders http://n82tactical.com/n82store/

I have a friend who's considering a 2005 Venture with ~100k miles. Did GM ever get around to fixing the manifold gasket and head gasket issues on the 3.4L engine before it went out of service, or will this vehicle suffer the same issues as the ones before it?
What else is there to check out on this vehicle before seriously considering it?

Oh c'mon. It Didn't hurt THAT bad.
A tip from @nitroplasmic and I felt a need here to take a brief time out.
You're feeling good, in control of your life. In some sense, powerful. This is a wonderful feeling. Perhaps it's the first time you've ever felt like this. Acknowledgement is deserved if you have managed to achieve that. I'd like to add a caveat.
"With great power comes great responsibility." - Benjamin "Ben" Parker, various Spider-Man Comics.
What I love so much here is really the illustration that the quote should have been, "With great power, comes the knowledge that you've just gotten the attention of something much larger than yourself and are, therefore, fucked."
Skrillex can be found here. And we here at BoL encourage you to report any suspicious activity possibly endangering children and/or violent latex deities.
Somebody's got to look out for them. The deities, I mean.

One strange thing that has happened this pre-season is that Ben Arfa and Jonas Gutierrez have been banished from training with the first team, and both are available for transfer.
The forgotten men at Newcastle – Ben Arfa and Jonas Gutierrez
Sylvain Marveaux essentially found himself in the same position, but he has managed to get himself a move to French club Guingamp on loan for the season.
The news on Jonas is even more bizarre, because he's still in Argentina and training with a personal trainer as his representatives try to get him fixed up with a club.
One problem that Newcastle could have is that if the two players are not moved out in this transfer window – will they then be told to train with the Reserves for next season?
Alan Pardew was asked if it was important that players like Ben Arfa and Jonas, who are not in his plans for next season, are sold in this transfer window:
"Maybe, maybe not. It depends. I think the balance of the squad is always important – the spirit is crucial." "I don't want to comment on those players at the moment,"
"When you seen teams that win trophies, it's obvious you need a group of players who not only have the quality and physical prowess, and more importantly have the spirit, because you can see great teams who fail when they don't have that."
"Look at Spain in their World Cup, and France after they won in '98, you need that spirit. I think we have a great spirit this summer." "I will not allow anything to alter that spirit. I'll ensure it remains as it is."
"I can sense a really positive mood on the training ground," said Pardew, who was the subject of protests from fans in the latter months of last season when the team's challenge for a European place fell away alarmingly.
"I'm confident that will be replicated in the stands."
Both Ben Arfa and Jonas Gutierrez may want to see out the last year of their contracts at Newcastle, and become free agents next summer, and they could resist any permanent moves before September.
The players could go out on loan, and it looks like we will have to wait until the last day or two of the transfer window before a club comes in for them, and we know their status.
If either one of them is still at Newcastle on September 2nd, it's a very good question what happens then?
Comments welcome.

Timor-Leste is a young nation with a violent history: centuries of colonial rule by Portugal, a bloody occupation by Japan during World War II and 24 years of brutal Indonesian rule. The violent rampage following the vote for freedom in 1999 left thousands dead and hundreds of thousands terrorised and displaced.
Now significant challenges remain for Asia's youngest and poorest nation. Little work is available in rural regions so young people drift to urban areas where there is high unemployment.
Early Childhood Learning Centres
Mercy Works has established Early Childhood Learning Centres in remote villages in the Cova Lima District in south west Timor-Leste. In addition to building, equipping and staffing these schools we provide ongoing support for teacher salaries and help supply vitamin supplements for much needed nutrition. At the centres, the children learn important life skills and gain a head start in reading. They also have some exposure to Tetun, the language used in the classrooms at primary school.
So far we have helped establish schools in Fohorem, Datorua and Fatulik. These are all remote villages only accessible by dirt road. In the wet seasons, rains often cut off access to them completely.
We are now renovating an existing building for a temporary Early Childhood Learning Centre in Aitos and are planning to establish a new centre in Atabae. We also provide support for capacity building for teachers and pre-school teachers.
The centres are part of the TaLiHa network. TaLiHa stands for Tau Liman Hamutuk which loosely translates as 'put your hands together'. This is an entirely local initiative with a network of centres in Dili and regions to the south and west of the capital.
We support the TaLiHa Early Learning Centres with regional workshops that enable teachers from different TaLiHa schools to come together and share their vision and ways of teaching. For the TaLiHa teachers working in isolated villages the opportunity to learn from their peers, gain support and exchange ideas is essential for enriching their skills and for their own well-being.
Maliana is 149km southwest of Dili. It's the capital of the Bobonaro District with a population of around 22,000. Together with the Diocese of Maliana and the Fundação Sagrada Coração de Jesus (FSCJ), we are trying to provide quality education for both teachers and students. Many of the schools are in appalling condition. Some don't have functioning toilets, others have doors that are just a few planks of wood. In addition to addressing the physical condition of the schools, the FSCJ has been working with school principals and secretaries to establish effective accounting and financial procedures. We are also supporting teacher development and have been running programs for kindergarten teachers.

Faucets at Home Depot and Lowes
Are brand name faucets sold at Home Depot and Lowes equal in quality to the same brand sold at plumbing supply stores?
If a fixture is the same brand/model, then it's exactly the same at any vendor. <-- EDIT: with exceptions, per faucetman below..
HD and Lowes do sell some quality stuff, but also a good amount of crap -- in the end you get what you pay for. A $50 Kholer faucet is not going to be as good as a $200 Kholer faucet. Within the brands there is a range of quality.
Plumbing supply houses might have a better selection of higher-end fixtures than the big boxes, though.
They do make slightly different versions for the big box stores
I'm not sure of the exact differences, but either on this site or another they did point out significant differences
In general I agree with Scott but there are some exceptions to the rule and you really have to watch item numbers and descriptions to make sure you are getting the exact same item. I was recently cited Price Pfister item #T43-YP0Y (Ashfield Bathroom sink faucet) as a prime example. Same faucet same part number but in the description one says 100% metal the other 50/50 plastic metal. The manufacturers are making less expensive versions of some of their lines by making some of the fixtures and ancillary parts of plastic instead of all metal and sometimes you may also find that fixures in one store will contain all the parts you need as in a pop up drain, gaskets etc and another of the same part number will only contain the fixture and no other parts. Just be aware of what you are buying and compare items carefully from store to store.
Thanks for the heads-up though, now I'll be on the lookout for that sort of thing.. :thumbup:

The Great News of Jesus
Today's students are being seduced by images of fame, wealth, and sensuality. At the same time, postmodern cynicism is considered cool. Is it then any wonder why so many students are confused?
InterVarsity reaches out to the academic community. We establish witnessing communities that follow Jesus Christ and proclaim his gospel on campus. Our vision is to serve the academy by showing how God's love through Jesus transforms lives, renews the campus, and develops in students the moral character to change this world.
In the secular academic culture, where it's often unpopular to be a Christian, InterVarsity students and faculty are unashamed of the gospel. "In the last seven years, the number of people who've come to faith through InterVarsity each year has doubled," says Alec Hill, President of InterVarsity. "Praise the Lord of the harvest!"
Today, InterVarsity's campus communities are experiencing unprecedented growth. We now have 893 witnessing communities on 576 campuses throughout the U.S.
Making Christ Known Through Both Word and Deed
"We seek to make Christ known," wrote Charles Troutman, InterVarsity's second General Director, in 1961. "And making Christ known has always remained a hallmark of our ministry," reaffirms Alec.
InterVarsity makes Christ known through both words and deeds. We study the Bible in small groups, we reach out to other students, and we provide missions opportunities of service and compassion, both domestic and international.
One of the ways our student leaders, faculty advisors, and staff serve people on campus is by offering a biblical perspective on justice. In April, the InterVarsity community at West Virginia University hosted the Human Wrong Campaign. This week-long evangelistic event both proclaimed the gospel and helped raise awareness on campus about the injustices of human trafficking. Students learned that genuine Christian compassion extends to people of every economic, social, and ethnic background and that helping others is part of our calling in God's redemptive mission for humanity.
Reaching Students Around the World from the Campus
InterVarsity's campus witness ripples across the world. An Asian woman attending an InterVarsity on-campus Bible study was interested in learning about Christianity as a religious system and an expression of Western culture. But the extraordinary character of Jesus recorded in the Gospels both amazed and inspired her. That semester, at an InterVarsity fall retreat, she stood in front of 400 people to affirm her commitment to love and follow Jesus. Today, she is a powerful witness of God's grace in her own country.
Students and faculty are hungry for true spirituality, a way of life that offers them a genuine relationship with God. InterVarsity is dedicated to reaching the campus with the gospel of Jesus and encouraging students and faculty to follow him their entire lives.

When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes—a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)—who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

3.6. Determination of unknown objects in the query
This article might be obsolete!
It is valid for Java, ActiveX, VCL editions, and for previous version of Active Query Builder .NET Edition (1.x).
The appropriate article for Active Query Builder 2 .NET Editon can be found here: How to detect incorrect object and field names in the query?.
Active Query Builder can parse queries with objects not loaded in the Metadata Container. To determine if query contains unknown objects, you may examine the QueryBuilder.QueryStatistics.UsedDatabaseObjects collection. Those items of this collection that have a null reference in the MetadataObject property were failed to find a corresponding object in the Metadata Container. The same way you may check for unknown fields using the QueryBuilder.QueryStatistics.UsedDatabaseObjectColumns collection and checking for a null reference in the MetadataField property.
For some reasons you may deny parsing of such queries by setting the QueryBuilder.ParsingErrorOnUnknownObjects property to True.

Dallas -- Grocery chain C&K Market Inc. said it has deployed Connected Payments from Retalix, rolling out the cloud-based, software-as-a-service payments system across its 61 Ray's Food Place, Ray's Shop Mart and C&K Market banners. The grocer also uses Retalix POS software across its enterprise.
Alan Nidiffer, chief information officer of C&K Market, said Connected Payments will help his company better manage compliance-related transaction data, while improving overall POS efficiency and reducing costs. The Connected Payments subscription-based model eliminated all of C&K's up-front license costs for the new system, while providing operational efficiency from centralized online reporting and analysis, according to Nidiffer.
"We wanted to effectively meet increasing PCI standards, and Connected Payments provided the best solution because it actually removes all cardholder data from our stores," said Nidiffer. "The result is optimal transaction data security. In addition, Connected Payments has helped us reduce our electronic payments costs overall, and it provides centralized reporting that improves our operational performance."

Tommy Atkins may grumble sometimes, but he is there when wanting, and woe to the enemy he can close with.
And, by-the-by, why is the British soldier called "Tommy Atkins?"
Tommy Atkins to right of us; Tommy Atkins to left of us, cobblestones beneath us, we staggered and swayed.
"Grousing" is Tommy Atkins for grumbling, which is an Englishman's birthright.
Tommy Atkins carried 100 rounds of the new hollow-nosed Lee-Metford cartridges.
I've always admired Tommy Atkins for his sense of fair play.
Tommy Atkins is much more sure of getting his rations to-morrow than he is of living until to-morrow to eat them.
Monologue after monologue has appeared with Tommy Atkins as a character type.
It is complained of Tommy Atkins that he neglects hygienic precautions against diseases like enteric.
It is confirmed over and over again in the letters of Tommy Atkins.

We examined the hypothesis that cardiac-specific troponin-I (cTn-I), a biomarker of myocardial injury, is elevated in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
RA patients have an increased incidence of heart failure (HF). Chronic myocardial injury in RA may be a mechanism for the development of HF.
We compared cTn-I concentrations measured by high-sensitivity immunoassay in 164 patients with RA and 90 controls, excluding prior or active heart failure. We examined the relationship between cTn-I concentrations and cardiovascular risk factors, inflammation, and coronary artery calcium score (CACS), a measure of coronary atherosclerosis.
cTn-I concentrations were 49% higher in patients with RA (median 1.15 pg/mL [IQR 0.73–1.92] than controls (0.77 pg/mL [0.49–1.28](P<0.001). The difference remained statistically significant after adjustment for demographic characteristics (P?=?0.002), further adjustment for cardiovascular (CV) risk factors (P?=?0.004), inflammatory markers (P?=?0.008), and in a comprehensive model of CV risk factors and inflammatory markers (P?=?0.03). In patients with RA, cTn-I concentrations were positively correlated with age (rho?=?0.359), Framingham risk score (FRS) (rho?=?0.366), and systolic blood pressure (rho?=?0.248 (all P values =0.001)), but not with measures of inflammation or RA drug therapies. cTn-I was significantly correlated with CACS in RA in univariate analysis, but not after adjustment for age, race, sex and FRS (P?=?0.79). Further model adjustments for renal function and coronary artery disease confirmed the significance of the findings.
High-sensitivity cTn-I concentrations are elevated in patients with RA without heart failure, independent of cardiovascular risk profile and inflammatory markers. Elevated troponin concentrations in RA may indicate subclinical, indolent myocardial injury.

With tablet sales projected to grow from 10.3 million in 2010 to 44 million in 2015, we wanted to understand what will be fueling this growth. Since 18- to 24-year-olds will be the ones growing up accustomed to this technology, we honed in on this demographic to see what it is about the tablets that excites them the most. Our Technographics® data shows that they want a tablet for a variety of reasons, but what they are most attracted to is its portability, and they are much more driven than US online consumers in general by its "fun factor."

It's important sometimes to step back from the obvious trends and look at things that lie just beyond the light. So in addition to the clear trends in play: mobilizing the entire collaboration toolkit, moving collaboration services to the cloud (often in support of mobile work); and consolidating collaboration workloads onto a full-featured collaboration platform, here are six counterintuitive trends for 2011 (for more detail and an analysis of what content & collaboration professionals should do, please read the full report available to Forrester clients or by credit card):

Two words were on everyone's lips today when it came to tablet talk: Honeycomb and LTE, the next-generation much faster network billed as "4G." Honeycomb is Google's first tablet-optimized version of its Android operating system, which will run on tablets like the Motorola Xoom, LG G-Slate, and Asus Eee Pad Transformer. Honeycomb isn't fully operational yet so it's hard to say how well these tablets will perform; early demos show a user experience that looks similar to the Palm WebOS "deck of cards" metaphor for switching between applications.

Today Forrester published its revised US consumer tablet forecast, updating its previous forecast from June 2010. When Apple's iPad first debuted, we saw the device as a game-changer but were too conservative with our forecast. Since then, we've fielded additional consumer surveys and an SMB and enterprise survey, conducted additional supply-side research, and seen more sales numbers from Apple. We've had briefings from many companies that will release new tablets at CES. All of these inputs have led us to revise our US consumer tablet forecast for 2010 upward to 10.3 million units, and we expect sales to more than double in 2011 to 24.1 million units. Of those sales, the lion's share will be iPads, and despite many would-be competitors that will be released at CES, we see Apple commanding the vast majority of the tablet market through 2012.

Which book should I read to learn SBC?
Searching through Amazon.com I find endless of books dedicated on Chevy Small Block Performance.
I have no previous experience in engines and I would like to learn how to make a SBC put out around 400-500 hp.
Which book should I go for?
If you have read the book yourself please give a little comment about it. What was good/bad, was it suitable for a newbie, etc?
Thx in advance.
EDIT: Maybe i should add that I will use a carb, therefore injection-specialized books will not help.

SBC Books
IMO, by far the best book for learning about the high performance side of the SBC is Small-Block Chevy Performance by Dave Emanuel.
For rebuilding, the tried and true How to Rebuild Your Small-Block Chevy by David Vizard is a good book.
I do not have John Lingenfelter's book: Modifying Small-Block Chevy Engines: High Performance Engine Building and Tuning for Street and Racing, but I am sure it would be a good book.
I guess the same could be said for David Vizard's book How to Build Max Performance Chevy Small Blocks on a Budget (S-a Design). But based on the good content in his rebuilding book, I'll bet this is good source as well.
Save your money and do NOT buy HP Books' How to Hot Rod Small-Block Chevys. I think the last issue was around 1976. It still has some good information, but it is quite a bit outdated.
Looking at the Amazon links above, it appears that there are some pretty good package deals with the books I have listed.
Happy reading Ed www.edgesz28.com
Who is Jesus?.
David Vizards "Max Perf. Samll Blocks on a Budget" is pretty good. Just keep in mind it is a budget minded book, so no high dollar heads or superchargers or cranks or anything like that is covered. The heads he covers are stockers and a few cheaper aftermarket, same with cranks and rods. Nitrous Oxide is covered pretty well too. I've had mine for a few years and every time I re-read it I seem to find another helpful hint.
BTW, I'm sure the Lingenfelter book is good as well.
EDIT: Maybe i should add that I will use a carb, therefore injection-specialized books will not help.
Could you say the the combo "Small-Block Chevy Performance" and "How to rebuild you Small-Block Chevy" is good for the beginner?
U use the second book to learn about engine basics and the first to learn about performance tuning.
How advanced is the first book you mentioned? What's good and what's bad with it?

I forgot I had that book. I can't believe I didn't check the date on that book when I bought it at PAW a couple years back. 30 year old vintage information.

I said budget oriented, not weak. 400 horsepower is not beyond whats in this book. BTW, he's got a 575 horsepower naturally aspired 383 stroker example, using sportsman II heads, stock 400 crank, etc.

Teaser image is up... more to be seen at Comic-Con.
» Boba Fett Life-Size Figure Sideshow Collectibles
That's pretty cool. I wonder how much? Can't be more than I'll end up spending anyway:)
I'm actually very surprised there isn't more info about it here considering the fact that, according to Facebook, "there was assistance from a number of members from TDH" in making this.
Defiantly very cool, Its got to have a high price tag
The Jango bust came out looking pretty good, minus the hefty $800 price tag
I agree, the Jango bust is nice, but the Darth Vader is way better. The level of detail on itis awesome, too bad its $1200.
I've been waiting forever for them to release more info on their lifesize HIC they premiered on comicon a year ago...
I hope this one DO becomes a reality.....
I think everyone is going to be really excited about the lifesize Fett at SDCC.
the Jango is not even a screen accurate helmet, it has a wrong ear and RF on it.......and there is no gap between the shoulder and back armor.
More information regarding the life size Fett and Han in carbonite will be released during and after SDCC.
I bet they will not be cheap. It would be awesome if SS would do more than a 4 payment plan for them, but I am sure they won't.
I'll be able to confirm it at SDCC Mullreel but I'm almost certain they just used the Boba helmet for Jango.
Thats what it looks like to me also.
The full size Fett looks ridiculous. I know it's a prototype but the armor is way too small and the mannequin looks too skinny. The jango bust could be made by most people on this drum in a few days and come out better IMO. I know that sideshow will never come close to the detail we all aspire to but ****, just visit this site and get a little more info on a product you intend to distribute for thousands of dollars.
That Jango looks horrible.
I think the sideshow armor is fine. Something just doesnt sit well with me about the overall look. Maybe the pose? Still, I think its an excellent effort and succeeds in accuracy where some fan suits miss it. Some members have done good work on it!
I think you all will be surprised come Wednesday.
I think you all are going to be shocked come Wednesday.
I want to be shocked come Wednesday.
Can't wait to see this bad boy at Comic Con. If you are going DarthMiller, take lots of pictures for us!!
I hope to be shocked. I'm the first to admit when I'm wrong,I just wish ss wouldn't release photos until the work us done. Look what they did with the boba fett bust, they release pictures with the pinched visor then produce it with the proper corrections. That's one good thing shout the company, they sometimes listen to criticism. I hope this folk size fett looks awesome although I won't be able to afford one either way.
:) ......
Sideshow comic con!
Nice job guys. Alex I love the paintwork on the helmet! Waiting for better pictures of the whole display.
Nice touch with the upside down knees;

Mass Effect - Reworked HUD @ GameSpot
Following up on news of the small Mass Effect PC delay, GameSpot spoke to BioWare's Diarmid Clarke who confirmed that reworking the HUD is the cause of the new release date and discussed the changes:
According to Clarke, the new HUD allows for much easier access to biotic powers and weapons by doing away with the radial HUD used in the 360 version. "All of the wheel stuff is now on the screen, you're not flicking between menus," he explained. "It's all just point and click now."
In particular, the new display scheme does away with the 360's inventory-management system, which drew widespread complaints for its lack of ease of use. Now, the guns will all be on the HUD screens ordered in rank of power, with customizable attachments and ammo types selectable via a drag-and-drop interface. Other keys will allow access to menu screens directly via a single key touch.
The new version of Mass Effect also takes advantage of hotkeys to let players more quickly use biotic powers. It will also have hotkeys for individual commands, which will let players issue orders to single non-player characters for improved tactical-squad combat. "It lets you be strategic and still do run-and-gun play," promised Clarke.
They also have some new screens demonstrating the changes.

NEIL Warnock has returned to Crystal Palace as manager to fill the vacancy created by the departure of Tony Pulis.
Warnock, who previously managed Palace between 2007 and 2010, takes over after Pulis abruptly left Selhurst Park on the eve of the season amid reports of a disagreement with co-chairman Steve Parish.
"Crystal Palace are delighted to announce that Neil Warnock has been appointed as their new first-team manager with immediate effect," Palace announced on their official website.
"Neil has agreed a two-year deal and will lead the team this Saturday in our Premier League game at Newcastle United."
Warnock, 65, has not managed a club since leaving Leeds United in 2013, but he emerged as a front-runner for the Palace post, alongside former West Bromwich Albion manager Steve Clarke, after talks with Malky Mackay collapsed.
Mackay looked poised to be appointed by Palace, but his hopes were scuppered after reports emerged that he had exchanged racist, sexist and homophobic text messages with colleague Iain Moody when they worked at Cardiff City.
Moody had been employed as Palace's sporting director, but he resigned after Cardiff sent a file alleging misconduct to the Football Association.
Pulis was named the Premier League's Manager of the Year after steering Palace from the foot of the table to an 11th-place finish last season.
But he left the club "by mutual consent" 48 hours before the start of the new campaign after reportedly falling out with Parish over transfer targets.
Palace, who were promoted from the Championship in 2013, lost 2-1 at Arsenal on the season's opening day before going down 3-1 at home to West Ham United last weekend.
They won 3-0 at Walsall in the Capital One Cup second round, in Keith Millen's third game as caretaker coach.
Warnock led Palace to the Championship play-offs in his first season at the helm in 2007-2008, but left the club after financial problems saw the south London club placed into administration in 2010.
The well-travelled Yorkshireman subsequently spent two years at Queens Park Rangers, guiding the club to promotion as Championship champions in 2011, before being sacked in January 2012.
He spent just over a year at Leeds before leaving in April 2013.

Many engine fuel systems are electrically controlled. Multi Point Injection (MPI) system, for example, has injectors installed in each cylinder.
We offer two kinds of injectors, "top feed" and "side feed (bottom feed)" (cf. fig. 1). The number of injector nozzles depends on the specification of the engine.
DOHC 4 valve engine has two intake ports and often takes two injector nozzles. The reason is to avoid incomplete combustion caused by fuel mist hitting and crushing onto the wall of a intake port and flowing in drops.
The injector basically sprays fuel (150-200 microns) on the back of a valve head preventing fuel mist from hitting against the wall of any intake port (cf. fig. 2).
We designed and developed injectors for RB26 (normal one has one intake port.), 1JZ and 2JZ. Power Enterprise big capacity injectors realize not only high power output but also improved response time and cleaning of exhaust gas.

What would you like to do?
What percentage of Americans own a microwave?
What African American invented microwave?
Percy LeBaron Spencer - he was an American
What percentage of Americans own their home property and do not have mortgages?
According to the article in the related link one-third of Americans own their property and are mortgage free. That figure varies by location. The figures from the latest censu…s are not available but that statistic probably remains stable since those are the people who seem to manage their finances well and do not borrow on the equity they have in their homes.
What percentage of Americans are African American?
12.6% as of 2010, approx. 38.9 Million.
What percentage of Americans own an iPhone?
100 million iPhone sold out of 311 million Americans is around 33 percent.
What is the percentage of Americans who own pets?
Answer . An estimated 63 percent of American households have a pet, according to the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association
What is the percentage of Americans who own dogs?
The percent of Americans that own dogs are 60%. After that is Cats, reptiles, small animals and other.
What is the percentage of Americans who own cats?
According to the Humane Society of the United States, 38.4 million (nearly 34 percent) American households own one or more cats.
What percentage of Americans own their own business?
The percentage of the U.S. population that is starting a business is declining. Data from the Federal Reserve indicates that the percentage of American households that own a b…usiness decreased from 14.2 percent in 1983 to 11.4 percent in 2004. According to http://www.smallbusinessnewz.com
What percentage of Americans own a car?
89% of American households
What percentage of Americans own stock?
Because there are many ways to "own" stock, this question can have many answers. For example, if you own a mutual fund in your company's retirement plan, you can be said to be… the "owner" of the stocks that are in the mutual fund. That's in spite of the fact that you probably don't know what they are, and you have no voting control in either the stocks themselves or the mutual fund. The most commonly offered answer to this question uses this broad, and, arguably meaningless definition. The Mutual Fund Industry group - Investment Company Institute - has a lot of data on this subject. Its 2002 study, http://www.ici.org/pdf/rpt_02_equity_owners.pdf showed that 49.5% (or 52.7 million) of US Households owned equities in some way shape or form in 2002. However, only 21 million (less than 20%) owned individual stocks outside an employee sponsored plan. There is an important distinction here. When politicians talk about eliminating the capital gains tax, it is only these 21 million households who will pay lower taxes, because retirement investments are tax deferred while you hold them, and then taxed at regular income tax rates when you take the money out. I haven't found a more up to date study, but than number was actually a little bit lower than it was in 1999 (peak of the Internet boom) so I doubt it's changed much. There are also figures given for those who own equity mutual funds outside of an employee sponsored plan - 28.7 million households - as well as 35.9 million households who represent those who own either individual stocks or mutual funds or both. I'm not comfortable with either of those, as subsequent ICI studies suggest that the majority of the Mutual Fund investing households are holding their funds in IRAs or other tax deferred plans - so they, too, pay regular income tax, at the time of withdrawal, on capital gains and dividends.
In Fish
What is the percentage of Americans who own fish as pets?
What percentage of Americans are Irish Americans?
40% of Americans are Irish.
What percentage of Americans own guns?
At the end of 2010 it was estimated that 45% of Americans own guns. If you took the percentage of guns to the number of Americans, the number rises to 90%. Of course, many of …these numbers are off due to many gun transfers at gun shows which is a transfer from one private collection to another, so in many instances these are not registered transfers.
In Computers
What percentage of Americans own a computer?
A recent survey conducted by Opinion Research Corporation's CARAVAN poll found that three-in-four American adults (76%) own a computer (2005)

Experienced Paul Butlin next for Anthony Joshua
By James Slater
Anthony Joshua, who enjoyed an impressive 1st-round victory in his pro debut this past weekend, has his next foe lined up. The 2012 Olympic gold medallist will, The Telegraph has confirmed, face 11-year veteran Paul Butlin on the Kell Brook-Vyacheslav Senchenko clash in Sheffield on October 26th.
37-year-old Butlin has a so-so at best 14-19 (3 KOs) record but he has been in with some good names, often acquitting himself well. A pro since October of 2002, the Leicestershire man has fought Dereck Chicora (twice, going the distance on both occasions), Jonathon Banks, Albert Sosnowski and, more recently in April of last year, Lucas "Big Daddy" Browne (being stopped by the Australian giant in the 4th-round).
Butlin has lost his last two but he has been active, fighting three times this year. Can the 6'2" journeyman take Joshua a few rounds? The bout is set for six-threes.

Good day,
I generally carry a Sig P-230 and a couple of extra magazines. In the summer I can get to an outdoor range and work the ammo through all the magazines on a regular basis, but in the winter --- not so much (Michigan). These mags may spend 3 to 4 months with a full load. Do the springs loose their "springyness"? Should I give them a rest and unload every now and then?

Simon Tilts Assembly Guide
Simon Tilts is a memory game very similar to Simon Says, but instead of pressing buttons, the player is challenged to rotate the device in a specific pattern. It comes as a PTH soldering kit, and it's up to you to solder it all together! You can buy the complete kit here.
If you're new to soldering, the Simon Tilts PTH Kit is a great place to start. This assembly guide will take you through each component in the kit and show you how to solder it into place.
The assembled Simon Tilts PTH Kit
Suggested Reading
If you'd like more general knowledge about PTH soldering, then we suggest checking out these following other tutorials:
- How to Solder - Through-hole Soldering
- Decoding Resistor Markings
- Diode and LED Polarity
- Electronics Assembly - Washing
- Video - SparkFun Infrared Sensor Overview
Necessary tools and supplies
Suggested additional tools and supplies
- Safety Glasses
- Flux Pen
- Solder Wick
- Scrubbing brush (an old toothbrush works fine)
- Dionized water for cleaning (or you can get away with tap water)
QuickStart - Your First Component
Locate the 10KΩ Resistor. It has a specific pattern of stripes on it: BROWN, BLACK, ORANGE, GOLD.
It looks like this:
Note, the patten can be in the opposite order; this is still the correct resistor.
To further understand resistor markings, please check out the following tutorial: Decoding Resistor Markings
Bend the legs downward.
Locate the 10KΩ Resistor position on the board.
Insert the resistor into the PCB. Note, this component is not polarized and so it does not matter which leg goes into each hole. Some components on this kit are polarized, and we will take extra care when we get to them to ensure they are plugged in properly. To learn more about what it means to be polarized, please check out this tutorial: Polarity
Push the resistor in so it is nearly flush with the board.
Slightly bend the legs outward to hold it in place.
Flip the board over. Hold the soldering iron's "Sweet Spot" so it touches both the leg and the metal ring. Hold for 2 seconds.
Feed solder into the joint.
First, pull away the solder.
Second, pull away the iron.
Your solder joints should look like this - a tiny volcano.
Clip off any excess legs.
The Other Resistors
Now that you've successfully soldered in the 10K resistor, you're ready to begin soldering in in the remaining resistors.
Note, before soldering in each resistor, double check you have the correct value by ensuring that the color markings are correct.
Locate the 100Ω Resistor. It has this pattern of strips on it: BROWN, BLACK, BROWN, GOLD.
A 100Ω resistor looks like this:
Locate the position on the PCB:
Using the same methods you learned with your first component (the 10KΩ resistor), solder into place, and trim the extra lead length.
Next, locate the 330Ω Resistors (x3). They each have this pattern of strips on them: ORANGE, ORANGE, BROWN, GOLD.
A 330Ω resistor looks like this:
There should be three of them:
Locate the position on the PCB:
Using the same methods as before, solder into place and trim the extra lead length.
When you're done soldering these remaining resistors, your board should look like this:
Locate the two 0.1uF capacitors. These look a little different than resistors. They have two leads than come down off the bottom of the component, and they have the markings "104" on them. (also note, the bottom side may have some other letters, like "K5M")
They look like this:
Locate their positions on the PCB:
Ensure that they are flush with the surface of the PCB and standing upright. Solder them into place and clip access lead length. When you're done soldering these into place, your board should look like this:
The Microcontroller
Locate the Microcontroller. This component is polarized, which means we need to take extra care to place it in the board properly. Notice the notch:
Now locate the position on the PCB. Again, notice a similar notch symbol in the PCB white ink:
Taking care to align the notch properly, place the ATmega328 into the PCB. While soldering the first leg (it can be any leg you choose), make sure to keep the component flush with the PCB.
When you're done soldering this component, the bottom of your board should look like this - a nice row of even volcanos:
IR Emitters and Detectors
Careful, these next 6 parts are polarized and need to be placed into the PCB properly. To learn more about polarization, please check out this other tutorial: Diode and LED Polarity
Locate the IR emitter and detector pairs:
There should be 6 total pieces. Three with red dots, and three with yellow dots:
These are polarized parts, so this means they have a "-" and a "+" leg.
Locate the positions on the board. Notice that there are "Yellow Emittor" and "Red Detector" labels printed on the PCB. Also note that there are "-" and "+" marks for each leg. Be careful here to ensure correct placement and polarity.
When soldering these into place, make sure they are positioned straight up (vertically). Check that your legs are forming a 90 degree angle with the PCB like so:
Also ensure that they are flush to the PCB:
When you're done soldering all 6 into place, your PCB should look like this:
To learn more about how IR emitters and detectors work, check out this video: SparkFun Infrared Sensor Overview
Buzzer and Switches
Locate the buzzer and slide switches:
Locate the positions on the PCB:
Place your components in the PCB. Flip it over and solder into place. When you are done, you're PCB should look like this:
Battery Clips
Locate the 4 Battery Clips:
Locate the 4 positions on the PCB:
Note, these parts must be soldered in so the back sides are facing out. If placed incorrectly, the batteries will not fit. Ensure they are flush and that the back sides are facing out:
Solder into place. When you are done, your board should look like this:
6 Leds
Careful, these next 6 parts are polarized and need to be placed into the PCB properly. To learn more about polarization, please check out this other tutorial: Diode and LED Polarity
Locate the 6 LEDs. There should be one of each color:
LEDs are polarized. This means there are "-" and "+" legs. Similar to the IR emitter and detectors, the LEDs have difference length legs to show polarity:
Locate the 6 LED positions on the PCB.
Note: There are two LED positions in the middle of the PCB.
When soldering the outside LEDs, do not solder them flush to the board. Leave a ¼" inch gap:
This will enable you to bend the LEDs outward like so:
When you solder in the two center LEDs, make sure that one of them goes up, and one goes down:
If you soldered in an LED backwards by mistake, have no fear. Visit the Troubleshooting LEDs section to find out how to easily correct it.
Congratulations! You have completed the soldering portion of assembly. You're almost done!
Before we move on to the final assembly steps, this is a good time to clean your board. Note, this is not absolutely necessary; your Simon Tilts will most likely work even without cleaning. We suggest cleaning it to avoid getting flux on your fingers during game play.
To clean your Simon Tilts, first ensure that you do not have the batteries installed.
You can clean your board using an old toothbrush and some DI water or alcohol.
If you have compressed air, this is a quick way to blow off any liquid. If not, then a paper towel or tissue paper can do the trick.
If you'd like to learn more about cleaning, please check out this tutorial: Electronics Assembly - Washing
Tilt Arms
The last step is assembling and mounting your three tilt arms.
First, find the three red tilt arms:
Next, "pop" a BB into each one:
Locate the tilt arm positions on the PCB. Note, there are dashed lines indicating the outline of the tilt arm. This shows you which direction the tilt arm should face:
When you snap them into place, ensure that they are flush with the PCB:
With all three in place, it should look like this:
You're very close now! Just snap the batteries in and turn it on! Ensure you correctly align the "+" and "-" sides of each battery:
How to Play the Game
Before you begin playing with your Simon Tilts, it is important to understand this one major concept:
Simon Tilts is essentially the same game as Simon Says, except for one major difference: each time you rotate a particular LED upward, it is the equivalent of pressing the colored button on the Simon Says classic.
How to Play
Turn it on and watch a pattern of LEDs blink. When it begins cycling through each LED in a fast pattern, it is in "waiting mode". It is now waiting for you to tilt the game in any direction. This is similar to how, in Simon Says, the game will wait for you to press a button to begin.
In order to start a new game, tilt the board in any direction. Then hold it upright and wait for the game to begin.
Simon Tilts will then blink a single LED.
You must now rotate the board so that specific LED is facing upward. After you correctly rotate the first step, then that LED will blink, and you must then go back to the upright position.
Simon Tilts will then repeat the first LED, but then it will also blink a second LED.
At this point, you must rotate each of those two LEDs upward in the correct order. (Note, if you're too slow, then you lose and it will go back into "waiting mode").
After you have completed each recent pattern, your Simon Tilts will blink the same pattern again – plus one more. The pattern gets longer and longer until you win each level!
- Level 1: 5 steps, slow playback
- Level 2: 10 steps, fast playback
- Level 3 and above: Adds 5 more steps at each higher level, so essentially it goes to INFINITY!!
All six positions are possible - even upside down. It can get pretty tricky when you get into a couple of full rotations :) In addition to the LEDs blinking the pattern, the buzzer makes a unique tone for each position to help you remember the pattern.
Have fun and good luck!
Nightlight Mode
Simon Tilts is much more than just a pattern game. The microcontroller can be re-programmed to be used in many other projects.
As an example, we have included a "secret" mode, called, "Nightlight Mode". In this mode, Simon Tilts does not play a game at all. It simply fades slowly in and out of each LED. A nice way to gently illuminate any room.
To enter Nightlight mode, follow these three steps:
1) Turn it OFF.
2) Hold it upside down.
3) While continuing to hold it upside down, turn it back ON.
Happy glowing and sweet dreams!
Troubleshooting LEDs
Failing LEDs? Don't fret, there is an easy way to fix it! The most common cause of a failing LED is incorrect polarity. We have designed a special trick into the Simon Tilts PCB. You can simply cut the two traces and close two jumpers. This will swap the polarity without having to remove the LED.
First, find the solder jumpers next to the LED you are trouble-shooting. There are two jumpers per LED. They are located on the bottom side of the PCB, near each LED.
Each jumper has a small trace connecting the middle pad to the default polarity setting. The small trace is sometimes difficult to see, but it is a thin stripe of metal that should show up as a lighter color red. Using a hobby knife (aka x-acto knife), cut the default traces:
Using your soldering iron, close a jumper between the middle pad and the other outside pad:
The polarity of the traces running to that LED should now be swapped, and your LED should be lighting up.
Prototyping the Tilt Arm Sensors
Pictured below is one of our early prototypes for the Simon Tilts design. As you can see with all of the hand wiring, sometimes it takes more than a few tries to find the best solution.
You can see two of our initial approaches to sensing the tilt position. The first one you may notice is the three tilt sensors:
In this approach, we are using our Tilt Sensors.
Each of these has a little metal ball inside that closes or opens a switch between the two leads. In this way of using a falling ball within a cylinder, it is very similar to our final Tilt Arm approach. The only difference is that the standard tilt sensor was not reliable enough for our application. We were getting very inconsistent readings from each sensor. Plus, the legs of those tilt sensors are pretty thin wire, and so after a little fumbling around, they would bend out of position.
The second approach that you can see in the above prototype is using hall effect sensors, magnets and white plastic tubes. This method actually proved to be very reliable and consistent. The only downside was that it was much more expensive and would require sourcing tubing and/or getting a custom molded cylinder part made.
Both of these approaches had one more down side: they required the user to precisely bend the sensor to a 45 degree angle. We found that if this angle was just slightly off, then the sensor would begin malfunctioning. So we continued to brainstorm for a solution that would avoid this problem.
With another prototype we used out Tilt-a-Whirl Breakout - RPI-1031.
It worked pretty well, but we wanted to keep this design 100% PTH parts. Also, it required two of them, which would add to the cost. Also, (just like the other tilt solutions, they had to be positioned at a 45 degree angle, which meant bending headers or tricky soldering.
During all of our prototyping, the accelerometer BOB was actually an option in the back of our minds. Our Triple Axis Accelerometer Breakout - MMA8452Q would work well for this application.
There was one problem with using a breakout board: the sensor itself is not a PTH part. Although we could include a footprint on the PCB to mate with the accelerometer's pinout, we were hesitant to use this approach. Adding one more "black box" to the project can increase the barrier to understanding a technology for a newbie.
Ultimately, we opted to create our own unique custom molded part:
It uses an IR emmitter and detector in order to know the position of the BB ball inside the cylinder. The IR emitter and detector are positioned so that the IR beam "shoots" through the hole in the bottom of the cylinder. When the BB is resting at the bottom of the cylander, then it is blocking the IR beam. When the BB is resting at the upper end of the tilt arm, then the "look-through" hole is unobstructed, and the IR detector can sense the emitter.
In order to make using this part easier, we created a device in our Eagle Library:
The package includes the correct positioning of the emittor, detector and dimension route out area to mate with the tilt arm part. An important thing to note is that when choosing a pull-up resistor for the detector line, we found that 330 ohms was the best value. This value is used in the kit. We first tried using the internal pullups on the ATmega328, but the voltage swing from the detector was very minimal which made it hard to get accurate readings.
We'd like to send a huge thank you to Modrobotics, because they printed three rounds of prototypes for us!
We'd also like to thank Mountain Molding for all their help with design, tooling, and manufacturing the part!
Resources and Going Further
If you'd like to further understand how the Simon Tilts design works, a good place to start is looking at the design files. You can get the complete hardware and firmware files at the GitHub Repository here:
Your Simon Tilts game is re-programmable with Arduino. This means that you can change the rules of the game, add more features, or turn it into a completely different project. For more information about how to re-program using Arduino, check out this following tutorial:
If it's more soldering that you're after, here are a few suggestions for other fun PTH soldering kits:
To see all of the Kits we offer on our website, checkout our Kits Category on the SparkFun website.
If you're interested to learn more about writing code, a good place to start is by completing the example circuits in the SparkFun Inventors Kit.
The microcontroller included with your Simon Tilts is actually re-programable with Arduino. This is the same microcontroller that is used in the RedBoard SIK. This means that if you wanted to, you could use the skills learned in the SIK to modify your Simon Tilts. For example, you could change the way the game plays or use it for an entirely different project!

I'm looking to beef up the security of my home. Safe neighborhood, but weird neighbor with mental issues and attractive cars parked in my driveway with family at home. Would be nice to have generally anyway. Need at least a few IR cameras pointed around outside with motion detection, ideally with alerts and iOS connectivity. Still considering budget, but ideally $300 or less if that buys anything worthwhile. There are a few systems that seem to be well regarded on NewEgg for around that, but wanted to ping here first. What say you folks?
This is the one I'm considering- I have a home server this would be a perfect addition to.

my 300 inline
300 ford..ported 240 head..just found out it has 7-1 compression..ran 14.02 in my 62 falcon...1.83 60ft time...motor is at machine shop getting balanced and new dome top pistons to get compression up to 11.5-1..any questions p.m me
If thats a street car that is very respectable.there was a maverick at our old track,early 80s? Morris and Hovie or something like that,a 300 in a maverick,was a joy to watch.
Circa 1976. Orange County Dragway. '61 Falcon coupe ("Humpin' Henry"). 300 six, Clifford manifold/header (custom), Roush "Cleveland" head (351C heads carved up and welded back together for a 6). 10.60s over 125.
That six has had more "goodies" made for it and won more races than any other straight-6 I know of. Remarkable performance potential, surpassing the Chevy and Dodge offerings of the era.
Don't discount Clifford Per4fromance. While much of their stuff is "dated", it still WORKS!
Cool idea, the 6.
Anyway, good ET all things considered!
I read an article back in the 70s about cutting up a set of cleveland heads and furnace brazing them back together.I would hope by now someone just made new castings from Al. I doubt enough racers would buy the heads though,probably not worth it with all the better technology available now. BMW still uses an inline 6.
what ever happened to the GM over head cam 6 offered 10 years ago?
first time out i had a lot of issues, shifter is a pos..way to big 800 Holley, then found that the throttle was only about 3/4 open, cause the pedal bent...and radiator was to small so it got to warm for me, all these bug have been fixed, it will run mid 12s next time out, tranny is a built rollerized c4 with brake..9 inch with 4.56 gears, .560 lift solid cam and crane 1.6 roller rockers..just got a 650 proform carb
Nice car,My friend rory McNeil had a 63 with a 390fe in it.Love that era of styling.
ups says my pistons will be here tomorrow, then to machine shop to get balanced..changed carbs to a proform 650, fixed throttle cable..just wish i know the rpm range of cam..has 560 lift and is solid i all i know
whats the part number?Maybe someone here has a catalogue? Are the 6 cylinder ford rockers 1.7 ratio?
no brand name anywhere on the stick?would be a pain to use a degree wheel and measure it. You have to decide,,,

At work, I've been doing a lot of development in Geographic Information Systems. I really know very little about cartography, but the project I was working on required it. I couldn't just load up Google maps and go, this project was much more complex than that. So I had to learn!
At first, it was super frustrating. Not only was I dealing with terminology and technology that was new to me, I was developing almost entirely on the front end using a library I didn't know. Super frustrating.
But then, I really started enjoying it, things were coming together. Even though I had to go back at one point and fix my base structure, it was great!
All this to say, try something new. Develop something for fun, or even in a sector you know little about! It's great for stretching yourself and expanding you bag of tools!

This popped up on Yahoo's feed of Bliiboard album reviews:
There is nothing more exciting than a brilliant production concept brought to life. This is precisely what New Orleans-based Tangle Eye (Scott Billington and Steve Reynolds) has accomplished with this remix project. Billington and Reynolds have taken some of Alan Lomax's best field recordings from his Southern Journey series and created an instrumental arrangement for each voice. The results are uncanny. Some songs -- including "Heaven," "Holler" and "Soldier" -- are intensely beat-rich, making them perfect for club DJs. The tunes "Hangman" and "O Death" are elegant, moody, traditional songs. "Chantey" -- taken from "Menhadden Chanteys," performed by Bright Light Quartet -- is perfectly re-imagined as a reggae tune. "Rosie" is a work song transformed into a fiery rock number, animated by the sizzling slide guitar of Jeff Raines. At the heart of every track remains the original voice Lomax recorded (between 1947 and 1960). Tangle Eye has masterminded one very special remix CD.

Under his benign rule, the nation of Zimbabwe has declined from a vibrant economy into one that is wracked by a Twelve Million percent inflation rate and 80% of the people living in poverty, but Robert Mugabe has absolutely no intention of giving up power. He ignored agreements to hold off opening Parliament before a power sharing agreement could be hammered out with Morgan Tsvangirai, leader of the Movement for Democratic Change. After being heckled and booed in Parliament by MDC members, the determined president told his nation, "we shall be setting up a government. The MDC does not want to come in apparently."
Mugabe is right on one point, the MDC does not wish to become part of a government in which the thugs who surround the president continue with their policies of looting the nation and beating up and torturing members of the opposition. They do not wish to become part of a supposed "power-sharing" agreement in which Mugabe continues wielding all the power and Tsvangirai is a show case placed in a powerless position. They do not wish to become part of a government which arrested three members of the MDC on trumped up charges.

UFD Finds Frozen Hydrants While Responding To Fire
Utica, NY (WIBX) – Bitterly cold temperatures brought an additional challenge to Utica firefighters on Monday morning, frozen hydrants.
When fire officials arrived a 402 Lansing Street around 8 a.m., they found "a couple of hydrants broken and frozen," Lieutenant Robert Stevens said.
Temperatures were hovering around 10-15 degrees below zero at that time.
Fire officials did locate working hydrants nearby and were able to begin fighting the smoke and flames that poured from the roof of the home.
Three of the four apartments inside 402 Lansing Street were occupied. Everyone who was home at the time of the fire made it out safely, Stevens said. A total of four people lived there, he said.
"The roof burned off. So, the second floor is exposed and there is a lot of water damage," Stevens said.
The cause of the fire is being investigated.
