300 I6 Maverick?
i am considering putting a 300 in-line six in my 1974 Maverick and i want to know how hard are they to come by. I've done some minor research and i found that that it was discontinued in 96', what 96' vans/trucks could i find one in. I've also read that the 87'-96' 300's had fuel injection and 155hp. my main issue is if it will fit in my Maverick with out having to make major changes , the way i see it is that if a 302 can fit so can a 300 I6.
the reason for the 300I6 is that my older brother has a 73' Datsun 280Z with a fuel injected 6cyl way bigger than mine with 160hp. my goal is to be able to outrun or at least keep up with his 280Z with out putting a V8 in my car.
("just dropping in a V8 is the easy way out!")
*i am tired of hearing about V8's so please only give me info only about my idea
a lot of the f 150's had the 300 i 6. you should be able to find one in a yard somewhere. im not sure about the late 90s, but the late 80s ,early 90s they were a dime a dozen. i had a couple of mid 80s with the 300 in them.one of the toughest engines ford ever built. more dependable than the 302.don't know about getting it to outrun the 280 though. that will be a tuffy.
They ( the 300 ) are a good bit longer and heavier than the six cylinder than came in your Maverick. It is heavier than a 289 or a 302 SBF ... I believe.
Yep, and really tall. The low hood line of the mav probably won't fit a long-stroke I6 like that.
How about a slant six from a mopar :evil:
Just check any junkyard, there should be 300's in any 60's, 70's,80's and 90's F series pickups. Bad thing is in the carbed version, they only had about 130 HP give or take. EFI versions had about 165. A lot of torque though. That engine is tall though. don't know if it will fit under your hood. Especially the EFI version. The intake manifold is huge on these engines. And it had the bell housing pattern of the 302 and 351 W. If you are going to swap the tranny anyway, the V8 option is much simpler and gains will be much more. You could swap in a 2 barrel 351 Windsor and you would realize such an impressive gain over the 200. Hell, swap in a 5.0 EFI out of a crown Vic. Those engines are dime a dozen also, they you could have multi port fuel injection for cheap. I did this very swap in a 66 Bronco, going from a 170 to the speed density 5.0 from an 87 Cougar. I had less than a grand in it, including the wrecked donor car. And wow what a difference!!! Sorry about dropping the v8 idea, but the logic of since the 302 was in the car, a 300 must fit too, is not correct. The 300 was never a car engine, always a truck, and they hood height and length is there. Plus that speed parts for the 300 are pretty spendy. But , good luck with your endeavor.
The 300 six is about 36" long overall..so you can do a quick measurement to see if it might fit..try looking on car-part.com for one of those as they are common in F250 and F350 trucks as well as some of the heavier duty Ford farm trucks..
Now there are some other things that can be done to the 300 six..to give you and idea look up the Frenchtown Flyer on the web as he runs a 300 six..
This may not be the easiest swap ever done but sure could be worthwhile..
I would suggest using a 250 I6 with with either the Argentian, Assuie or one of the new aluminum aftermarket heads for the 250 I6 I've been hearing about.
144-250 aluminum cylinder head based on OZ 250 2v head. in production since about august. www.classicinlines.com is the supplier/ creator

Loving Our Neighbor
Jesus taught to "Love Thy Neighbor, As Thyself". Sometimes we wonder what that really means, to "love our neighbor"? And perhaps, is it an impossible standard in today's modern, busy and competitive world? On April 26, 2008, a group of young athletes in Ellensburg Washington proved that living such a high standard is not impossible at all.

Pacman set for political race
"Now it is time for a more serious fight for me and that is my campaign for congress," said Manny Pacquiao after dispatching Joshua Clottey. Pacman is planning to go directly into campaign mode for the May 2010 Philippine general election. "The people of my province are among the poorest. They have been underserved for too long. I want to give a voice to those too weak to speak. They deserve better schools and a higher standard of living. I know how my people have suffered because I have too. That is how I grew up and because I am one of the fortunate ones to have escaped poverty I am compelled to be a public servant for them. If my being in public office can attract new businesses to relocate to my province and to shine a light on the neglect my people have endured, I am only too happy to serve. One of the biggest advantages I have is that every fight is an opportunity to give honor to the Philippines. The Filipino people don't just give me their support, they also give me their strength, their pride and their love. Running for congress is a way for me to repay them."

Church of Scientology Receives 10th Annual Religious Excellence Award
Service to the community—a central element of the Scientology religion.
The Church of Scientology was among the religious groups recognized September 10 with a Religious Excellence Award from the Minister Interior of Taiwan ROC for outstanding contributions to the society.
This is the 10th consecutive year the Ministry of Interior has recognized the Church of Scientology for its charitable activities and community work.
Service to the community is a central tenet of the Scientology religion. The Church supports humanitarian initiatives to remedy some of society's most pressing problems including drug abuse and violations of human rights.
On the human rights front, a 2011 Ministry of Education survey found 4,300 reported cases of school violence and bullying in the previous 2 1/2 years, with 4.5 percent of the 100,000 secondary school students surveyed admitting they were beaten or targeted for extortion by their fellow students.
To change the underlying attitudes that make these abuses possible:

Serbian Orthodox Church
Memorial for persecutions of new martyrs9. August 2011 - 10:02
On Sunday, August 7, on the feast of the Dormition of Righteous Anna, the Holy Hierarchical Divine Liturgy was celebrated at the Holy Transfiguration Monastery in Milton, Ontario officiated by His Grace Bishop Georgije of Canada. Concelebrating with the bishop were: V. Rev. Vasa Pejovic from Kichener, V. Rev. Milojko Dimitric from London, Rev. Milos Puric from Toronto, Hieromonk Vasilje, the abbot of the monastery and Deacon Stefan Ikonomovsky and Deacon Damjan Radojcic.
The Church: A Pillar which gathers the serbian faithful9. August 2011 - 9:30
An overview of the relationship between the Serbian Diaspora and the Serbian Orthodox Church
To effectively consign to writing a word on the history of the Serbian Diaspora, from the first Serbian immigrants to the final emigrant waves, is in fact to note the efforts and endeavours of a people, of individuals and their communities, who through their common union and common experience desire to create, and often recreate, stabilise and develop a new life; one which will retain for posterity the essential elements of their former lives and experiences, as for their generation so also for succeeding generations.
Bishop Jovan (Puric) of Nis introduced to the throne of the bishops of Nis7. August 2011 - 20:22
Constantine's city - Nis got today a new Bishop. At the Divine Liturgy which was served by His Holiness Irinej, Serbian Patriarch Bishop Dr Jovan (Puric) was enthroned. Serbian Patriarch was concelebrated by His Eminence Metropolitan Amfilohije of Montenegro and the Littoral, Their Graces Bishops: Lavrentije of Sabac, Pahomije of Vranje, retired Atanasije of Zahumlje-Herzegovina, Jovan of Sumadija, Joanikije of Budimlje-Niksic, Marko of Bitolj, Milutin of Valjevo, Teodosije of Raska-Prizren, David of Krusevac, Vicar Bishops: Porfirije of Jegar and Antonije of Moravica. The Divine Liturgy was attended by Their Graces Bishops: Vasilije of Srem, Hrizostom of Zica, Irinej of Backa, Justin of Vranje and Ignatije of Branicevo, representatives of the city authorities of Nis and the Republic of Serbia, and faithful people from Diocese of Nis and all Dioceses in Serbia, Montenegro and the Republic of Srpska.
Speech of His Grace Bishop Jovan (Puric) of Nis given today at the enthronement in Cathedral Church of Nis7. August 2011 - 14:54
Today we are introduced to the throne of the ancient diocese of Nis at this holy Gathering regarding the Name of God. To us entering into this throne is joining the efforts of many over the centuries, and this on the day of the Assumption of St. Anne. According to the words of holy Fathers Anne gave birth to one who place the Unplaceable – Theotokos the Foster Mother of our life, protector of episcopal rank. Through Anne's personality we perceive the beginning of the graceful gifts and salvation of man and the world. We are evangelists and preachers of that secret in the Church of the God-man Christ.
Today's Gospel that we heard at the Holy Service on the multiplication of loaves of bread, was preceded by the prayer of the Lord Jesus Christ alone. And when people were fed by Only Philanthropist, once again climbed the Mountain to pray alone. This context of events is very important for us: shows us the practice of personal prayer that precedes and follows every action and activity in the Church. About this event also testifies St. John the Theologian in his Gospel. Specifically, he talks about the Bread of life without Which there is no eternal life. That Bread of Life for us is the Lord Jesus Christ himself at the Holy Service, for whom one must strive for great responsibility before God.
Feast day of St. Mary Magdalene in Donji Ostrog5. August 2011 - 11:04
His Eminence Amfilohije Archbishop of Cetinje and Metropolitan of Montenegro and the Littoral on the feast day of St. Mary Magdalene, with priest and faithful people served the Holy Hierarchal Liturgy in Lower monastery of Ostrog.

LotR was actually what really got me ino costuming! I absolutely adored the costume designs, so I would sit for hours on the net and save pictures and look at all these wonderful costume replicas people were making! It's what started me thinking that perhaps I could make costumes too!!
I'm most definitely a Rohirrim, without a doubt! I'm very much like Eowyn, feisty and not at all ladylike :P Plus I'm very much an earthy person, not like the elves :P Eowyn is definitely my favourite character, though I look more like Arwen with my pale skin and dark hair.
Thus far I've done one LotR costume - Eowyn's Shieldmaiden outfit. I was so happy with how it turned out, I think it's my best costume thus far (apart from my Victorian bustle dress, but that's not cosplay). I would like to make a few other Eowyn costumes - white wool, green gown, Dernhelm, Refugee and coat, Coronation. I'd also like to make Arwen's Chase dress and her mourning gown.

Remaining 'X Factor' Contestants Talk Rachel Crow's Heartbreaking Elimination
Rachel Crow's elimination from 'X Factor' was so upsetting to fans, the judges and Crow herself that we're still talking about it a week later. One contestant likened the proceedings to a scene in 'Gladiator.' It was that intense in 'X Factor'-dom last week.
MTV caught up with the four semifinalists — Melanie Amaro, Marcus Canty, Chris Rene and Josh Krajcik — who were all bummed that Crow was bounced.
Amaro, who attempted to comfort Crow after she learned her fate, said she told the teen "[you] really cannot give up, because [you are] an amazing singer." Amaro also revealed that Crow was offering encouragement to Amaro, the final girl in the competition. Amaro admitted, "She said to me, 'You've gotta represent! You've gotta represent for the girls!'" Crow was considerate and gracious in her defeat.
Rene was legitimately bummed, too, saying, "It felt like your little sister… You see your little sister cry like that, it doesn't make you happy."
Krajcik said, "It felt like 'Gladiator' up there. I thought that I was in the middle of a blood-soaked sand arena. It was really, really weird. It's something I will never forget… I was surprised by a lot of things that night." Of course, the final over-30 contestant was referring to the beating that his mentor Nicole Scherzinger took as the person who sent the vote to deadlock and resulted in Crow going home!
Canty, who was forced to perform against Crow for the save, said he wanted to try and talk to Crow to make her feel better when she hit the floor. He said, "Obviously I didn't want to see her on the ground. [I wanted to] let her know everything was going to be all right."
With a meeting with Disney execs on the docket, everything is gonna be alright for Rachel Crow.

I recently purchased a Smith & Wesson 22A and promptly installed a Tasco red dot 50mm and it has been a great asset. Shooting this .22 caliber handgun with a red dot has greatly improved grouping accuracy, as well as hunting kills.
Just before purchasing the 22A, I purchased a Ruger Super Redhawk .44 Mag. that's producing 2" groups at 40 yards with open sights. However, that grouping size jumps to 5 3/4" at 60 yards. I would like to maintain the 2" to 3" group size at 60 yards with the use of a red dot. I have ordered a Sightmark Ultra Shot, that should be here by the end of the upcoming week.
Who uses a red dot sight on their hunting handgun(s)?
Thank you, Bowhunter57

Real-Time U.S. Wind Map
Came across this today and thought I'd share it, for whatever it's worth -- it's a graphic, non-commercial and updated hourly, showing the movement, flow, and speeds of wind across the continental United States. It's currently of little use to sailors except perhaps as a learning tool but it might have significant potential, perhaps for passage planning purposes, if it could be connected to a data source for offshore winds. If nothing else, it's freaking cool!

Re: Real-Time U.S. Wind Map
It's mesmerizing. Thanks for posting!
Re: Real-Time U.S. Wind Map
This is actually kind of useful for us here in Denver. And yes, it shows the high winds that I'm sitting in as I sit here writing... :-)
Nice find! Thanks.
Re: Real-Time U.S. Wind Map
Wow, that's one of the coolest things I've ever seen!
Re: Real-Time U.S. Wind Map
Ain't it? I keep looking at that wind shear north of Memphis, referring to normal weather maps and can't for the life of me figure out what is causing it...
Re: Real-Time U.S. Wind Map
That is awesome (and graphically representing why I am not sailing today in AR)!
Re: Real-Time U.S. Wind Map
Gary :cool:
Re: Real-Time U.S. Wind Map
It is cool, not sure it is useful from an actual sailing standpoint, I prefer this source personally
SailFlow.com - WA - puget sound Wind Data
I've seen a few others, like "weatherunderground" that for me locally, seem to pull from the same weather stations. Some say it is more accurate than sailflow....
Re: Real-Time U.S. Wind Map
That is so cool! I'm going to have to save that link to my favorites. Thanks! :)
Re: Real-Time U.S. Wind Map
Another one of those totally cool internet sites. As I watch what must be a very nice low right around Denver, the image is as much art as science. But what else is new. The science of Hubble is magnificent art. Thanks for the link.

Arbitrability of an Unfair Prejudice Claim (Part II)
(continued from earlier)
The next argument was that any unfair prejudice claim under s.994 attracts a degree of state intervention and public interest such as to make it inappropriate for disposal by anything other than judicial process, independent of the nature of the claim or the company in this particular case. In response, the Court undertakes a historical analysis of the unfair prejudice claim, observing that since the 1980 Companies Act, the scope of the unfair prejudice claim has consciously been given a life independent of the relief of winding up on just and equitable grounds. Thus, although the two may overlap, the legislature has made a conscious effort to allow the unfair prejudice claim and reliefs under it, for reasons which may not apply to other shareholders in the same class as the claimant, or to creditors. Thus, the unfair prejudice claim is more 'personalised' than the winding up of the company on just and equitable grounds. The Court observed that while some of the reliefs sought under an unfair prejudice claim could affect third parties, it was not inherently a class remedy. In cases where it did affect third parties, the Court could impose limitations of the reliefs that could be claimed through arbitration.
This conclusion was apparently at odds with Exeter, which had held relied on an Australian decision in A Best Floor Sanding Party Ltd v Skyer Australia Party Ltd [1999] VSC 170, to hold that the shareholders have an inalienable right to approach a Court for an unfair prejudice claim and had denied a stay. However, as the Court of Appeal here rightly points out, the applicable Australian statute was materially different from its English counterpart. It mere included unfair prejudice as an additional ground for winding-up, and not as an independent head of relief. Further, the reliefs sought there were for winding up and not merely a contractual dispute which formed the basis of an unfair prejudice claim. The Supreme Court of New South Wales in ACD Tridon Inc v Tridon Australia Pty Ltd [2002] NSWSC 896 has also similarly narrowed the scope of the Skyer Australia decision, lending further support to this interpretation. The Court observes that certain company law issues like the rights of members; and the duties of directors, or the consequences of insolvency are not such as may be arbitrated. However, the Court observes that Exeter incorrectly extended the rationale of Skyer Australia beyond these limited cases.
Here, the Patten LJ observes that,
the determination of whether there has been unfair prejudice consisting of the breach of an agreement or some other unconscionable behaviour is plainly capable of being decided by an arbitrator and it is common ground that an arbitral tribunal constituted under the FAPL or the FA Rules would have the power to grant the specific relief sought by Fulham in its s.994 petition. We are not therefore concerned with a case in which the arbitrator is being asked to grant relief of a kind which lies outside his powers or forms part of the exclusive jurisdiction of the court. Nor does the determination of issues of this kind call for some kind of state intervention in the affairs of the company which only a court can sanction. A dispute between members of a company or between shareholders and the board about alleged breaches of the articles of association or a shareholders' agreement is an essentially contractual dispute which does not necessarily engage the rights of creditors or impinge on any statutory safeguards imposed for the benefit of third parties. The present case is a particularly good example of this where the only issue between the parties is whether Sir David has acted in breach of the FA and FAPL Rules in relation to the transfer of a Premier League player ... The statutory provisions about unfair prejudice contained in s.994 give to a shareholder an optional right to invoke the assistance of the court in cases of unfair prejudice. The court is not concerned with the possible winding-up of the company and there is nothing in the scheme of these provisions which, in my view, makes the resolution of the underlying dispute inherently unsuitable for determination by arbitration on grounds of public policy. The only restriction placed upon the arbitrator is in respect of the kind of relief which can be granted.
Having settled this point, the Court (following ACD Tridon) goes further to say that even in cases where a contractual dispute like the one here was being relied on as the basis of a winding up petition, the right to approach the court continued to be contingent on the underlying dispute being settled by arbitration. "The agreement could not arrogate to the arbitrator the question of whether a winding-up order should be made. That would remain a matter for the court in any subsequent proceedings. But the arbitrator could, I think legitimately, decide whether the complaint of unfair prejudice was made out and whether it would be appropriate for winding-up proceedings to take place or whether the complainant should be limited to some lesser remedy."
Finally, the Court considered the third and fourth prongs of argument. The third was held as not being supported by the statute, while the fourth was rejected on the basis that while the clause was very broad, inherent limitations would be read in based on the arbitrability of the subject matter of the dispute.
In sum, this is an important decision on the extent to which a company law dispute may be arbitrated. Admittedly, the facts of the case played a crucial role in the conclusion arrived at. However, the analysis of the nature of an unfair prejudice claim, and the concept of arbitrability provides useful guidance for future issues of a similar nature.
(Note: It was helpfully pointed out by a reader that on 22 February, the UK Supreme Court refused Fulham leave to appeal against the UKCA decision.)
Arbitrability of an Unfair Prejudice Claim (Part I)
A recent post considered the relation between arbitration and company law, in the context of the inability of arbitration to develop the body of corporate law jurisprudence. Another fascinating area of substantive overlap, is the arbitrability of company law disputes, which the UKCA in Fulham v David Richards was called on to consider in relation to claims of unfair prejudice.
Given the fact-specific conclusion the Court arrives at, a slightly detailed explanation of the factual backdrop is mandated here. Fulham Football Club had filed an unfair prejudice petition in relation to the Football Association Premier League (which manages and regulates the English Premier League) ("FAPL"). FAPL is organised as a company, with the different football clubs in the English Premier League as its members. The claimant contended that the chairman of the FAPL Board had acted as an unauthorised agent in breach of the FA Football Agents Regulations by brokering the sale of a player owned by Portsmouth Football Club (Peter Crouch, for the benefit of those who follow football) who Fulham were interested in to Tottenham Football Club. Under the FA Rules, any player or club is prohibited from using or seeking to use the services of an unauthorised person to act in the capacity of an agent, representative or adviser to a club, either directly or indirectly, in the negotiations or arrangements of any transaction facilitating or effecting the transfer of the registration of a player from one club to another. When Fulham approached the FA for relief, they were informed that the issue would be put to a shareholders' meeting. In the alternative, the FA asked Fulham to bring arbitration proceedings under the FA Rules. Fulham instead approached Companies Court, alleging that it was an implied term of the FAPL Rules that members of the board of the FAPL would comply with their fiduciary obligations and not act so as to prefer the interests of one member club over another. By way of relief, Fulham sought an injunction restraining Sir David from acting as an unauthorised agent or from participating in any way in negotiations regarding the transfer of players. In the alternative, it sought an order that Sir David should cease to be the chairman of the FAPL and such other relief as the Court thought fit. On the basis of the arbitration clause in the FA Rules which the clubs were bound by, the FA and Sir David sought a stay of the Court proceedings, under section 9 of the English Arbitration Act, 1996.
Against this factual backdrop, the court was called on to determine the arbitrability of this dispute, and to reconcile two earlier decisions of the High Court in Re Vocam Europe Ltd [1998] BCC 396 and Exeter City Association Football Club Ltd. v. Football Conference Ltd. [2004] 1 WLR 2910, which had arrived at seemingly different conclusions. Although the High Court in this case followed Vocam and granted a stay, Fulham appealed on four principal grounds:
(a) the relief in an unfair prejudice claim would affect third parties and hence was not arbitrable;
(b) the very nature of the unfair prejudice claim was one which involved public interest and could not be resolved by a private contractual arrangement;
(c) the 2006 Act impliedly rendered the right to approach a Court for an unfair prejudice claim an inalienable right; and
(d) the arbitration clause here was too wide to be enforced.
The Court begins by clarifying that neither the Arbitration Act nor the Companies Act had anything which expressly indicated the arbitrability or otherwise of such a dispute. Hence, the decision turned on first principles of arbitrability, and the nature of an unfair prejudice claim, both very interesting and complex issues.
On the first issue, the Court admitted that usually, a decision on an unfair prejudice claim had consequences for several other shareholders who would not be parties. However, the special nature of the FAPL (discussed in paragraphs 47 and 48 of the judgment) meant that the nature of disputes were much more limited than in other private companies. Thus, the Court concluded that the nature of the relief it was seeking in this particular case was not one that would render it unarbitrable.

Facebook's Capital Structure and Governance
… an investment in Facebook is really an investment in Mr. Zuckerberg: Facebook's offering documents show he will retain control over Facebook even when it becomes one of America's largest publicly traded companies.Although this seems to provide too much control to the founder, there is nothing unusual in this except for the fact that in this case the control rests with a single individual rather than a group of persons. As noted on the Deal Professor column:
Mr. Zuckerberg's control is based on the structure of Facebook's shares. Facebook is proposing to go public with a dual-class share structure. Public shareholders will purchase Class A shares that have one vote apiece. Mr. Zuckerberg, Facebook employees and current Facebook investors will hold Class B shares, which have 10 votes apiece. This is a deviation from the one share one vote norm followed by most publicly traded companies.
Mr. Zuckerberg is not alone in using this type of structure to maintain ownership of a prominent technology company. The founders of Google, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, set up a similar structure and retain voting control over Google.It appears therefore that deviations from the one-share-one-vote rule are becoming much more common than one would ordinarily imagine.
Yet they are two people who counterbalance each other, not a single individual.
Three other prominent company founders, Andrew Mason at Groupon, Mark Pincus at Zynga and Reid Hoffman at LinkedIn, have also adopted similar dual-class voting structures at their companies. At the time of those public offerings last year, Mr. Mason controlled 19.7 percent of the votes at Groupon, Mr. Pincus controlled 37.4 percent of the votes at Zynga and Mr. Hoffman controlled 21.7 percent of the votes at LinkedIn.
These companies, however, are much smaller than Facebook. And while their stakes are sizable, they do not entitle any of the three founders to remove and replace directors at will.
In the Indian context, after much back and forth regarding the desirability of permitting shares with differential voting rights, the Companies Bill recognizes the need for flexibility to companies and their founders to structure their shareholding along similar lines. However, SEBI continues to deny the issue of shares with "superior voting rights".
As far as the governance structure of Facebook is concerned, one aspect that is highlighted in the Deal Professor column deserves attention:
Unlike most public companies, Facebook will not have a nominating committee for its directors comprising the independent directors on Facebook's board. Instead, all of the directors will be selected by the board itself, a group that will be appointed by Mr. Zuckerberg. He can also remove and replace any director at any time.The company has sought to take advantage of an exemption under the relevant listing requirements to steer clear of some of the conventional corporate governance norms such as board independence and independent nomination of directors that act as a monitoring mechanism on the managers and controlling shareholders. Facbeook's registration statement filed the SEC states:
We have elected to take advantage of the "controlled company" exemption to the corporate governance rules for publicly-listed companies.Given the high-profile nature of the company, its founder and the offering, it is not clear if such concerns regarding the governance of the company will either turn away investors, or force a discount on the valuation of the shares.
Because we qualify as a "controlled company" under the corporate governance rules for publicly-listed companies, we are not required to have a majority of our board of directors be independent, nor are we required to have a compensation committee or an independent nominating function. In light of our status as a controlled company, our board of directors has determined not to have an independent nominating function and has chosen to have the full board of directors be directly responsible for nominating members of our board, and in the future we could elect not to have a majority of our board of directors be independent or not to have a compensation committee. Our status as a controlled company could cause our Class A common stock to look less attractive to certain investors or otherwise harm our trading price.

More on CSR and the Companies Bill
More importantly, there seems to be some visibility as to nature of review that the Standing Committee may perform. Since the previous review was extensive in nature, reports suggest that only certain new clauses in the Bill inserted subsequent to that exercise will be reviewed this time around. All of these will have implications on the timing of the legislation, and whether the Bill is likely to be taken up for debate and vote during the forthcoming Budget session of Parliament.

In recent days, the Coin Pump and Dump has been one of the most lucrative of schemes. This scheme goes like this:
- Announce a new coin in Bitcointalk.org without advanced notice.
- On release, create a 'private' version of the daemon with target spacing between blocks of just a few seconds. However, claim that the coin allows miners to mine at a rate of about 30 seconds or more.
- Mine the coin with zero difficulty after announcement to give the appearance that the coin is not pre-mined.
- Release the public version of the daemon with the advertised target spacing and let miners scramble and struggle to mine the coin. Watch as miners get mostly orphan blocks trying to keep up with the fast growing block chain.
- When difficulty rises after, remove the 'private' version from the network and mine with the 'public' version.
- Start conversations on bitcointalk.org about selling the newly minted coin. Post faux trades to pump up the price.
- 'Convince' exchanges to adopt the coin. This is done best incrementally, one exchange at a time until it reaches BTC-E.
- Pump up the price on each exchange when listed. This is possible because it wil take time for other sellers to transfer the coins they have to sell. That's assuming they have any coins to sell!
- Dump the coin in a discrete manner.
That's how Coin Pump and Dump works. The actual record of step '2′, that is, using a private copy of the coin, can be seen in the first blocks of the chain in a block explorer. Check your favorite alt-coin to see if it has minted coins every few seconds with zero difficulty. The block chain should confirm if your coin is indeed an Pump and Dump coin.

15 Year old Eric Jones to make ARCA Debut
Erik Jones To Make His ARCA Debut
TOLEDO, OH (February 29, 2012) - Beginning with next week's Mobile ARCA 200 at Mobile International Speedway, the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards will allow approved and certified 15-year-old drivers to compete on tracks one mile in length or shorter.
Erik Jones, a Byron, Mich. driver who will not turn 16 until late May, plans to be the first 15-year-old competitor in the 60 years of ARCA's national tour. Jones is entered at the Irvington, Ala. half-mile in Venturini Motorsports' No. 55 Chevrolet, one of 36 cars on the current entry list but the only one featuring a driver who is not yet 16.
"I can't thank everybody enough, those who made this possible," Jones (pictured) said recently. "To be able to run with the caliber of a team like Venturini Motorsports is one of the biggest opportunities I've ever had in my career. I have to thank ARCA for lowering the age limit to let 15-year-olds squeeze into the short track races. This is definitely one of the coolest things I've had come along in my whole career, so I can't be more excited for this opportunity. I hope to get a few wins this year."
Jones began his career at age 7 in 2004, racing quarter midgets in Michigan. He made his stock car debut in 2009 at Owosso Speedway in Ovid, Mich., quickly moving to the challenging Pro Stock division. Jones won a feature and the track's Pro Stock Rookie of the Year Award.
In 2010, Jones moved to the ASA Late Model Northern Series, becoming the youngest winner in series history at age 14. He finished the year having led the most laps in the series on the way to the Rookie of the Year title. Jones won the first JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour championship in 2011 with wins at Rockford (Ill.) Speedway and Owosso, and later won the Governor's Cup, a prestigious Florida super late model event.
Another young driver making his ARCA debut at Mobile is Tyler Reddick, a 16-year-old Californian who now lives in DuQuoin, Ill. and will race for Ken Schrader Racing. "The California Kid" has over 120 career wins, three national championships, and five Rookie of the Year titles as a dirt super late model driver. He is the youngest driver to start a World of Outlaws feature event, the youngest to win at the East Bay Winter Nationals, and the youngest to win a Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series feature event.
"I'm really excited to race with Ken Schrader," Reddick said. "We've had a great relationship for a long time, racing at his track (Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55) in Pevely, Mo. Other than racing a bandolero car three or four times, all my racing so far has been on dirt, so this will be my first start in a stock car on pavement."
Reddick's car will be sponsored by two record labels: Broken Bow Records, featuring artist Jason Aldean; and Stoney Creek Records, featuring artist Thompson Square.
The wave of young drivers does not stop with Jones and Reddick. Clint King, the 16-year-old who won the Menards Pole Award presented by Ansell on his birthday last August at Madison, Wis. and later won a pole at Salem, Ind. for Venturini Motorsports, will also race at Mobile.
Chase Elliott, a Hendrick Motorsports development driver and the son of NASCAR champion Bill Elliott, will drive the No. 9 Chevrolet. Elliott plans to make five ARCA starts in 2012, including events at New Jersey in July, Berlin (Mich.) and Madison in August, and Salem in September. The 2011 NASCAR K&N Pro Series East Most Popular Driver, Elliott turned 16 in November, just one week before winning the Snowball Derby.
The Mobile ARCA 200 will take place Saturday, March 10 at Mobile International Speedway. The race is scheduled to start at 2 p.m. Mobile will host practice and Menards Pole Qualifying presented by Ansell on Friday, March 9. The event at Mobile will be ARCA's first at the track.

Leila Davis: Hello! I am Leila, I am a 17-year-old senior at Stratford High School. I grew up in a small town in Stratford, Connecticut. My mother is mostly Irish/ Portuguese decent and my father is from Jamaica. Everyone thinks I inherited my red hair from the Irish side but surprisingly, I got it from my father!
NC: How and when did you start embracing your curls?
LD: I started embracing my curls about two years ago when the "natural hair movement" became the fad. I realized how beautiful curly hair is, and ever since I have been embracing mine!
NC: What's your current routine?
LD: I wash my hair with SheaMoisture Moisture Retention Shampoo and then I condition with Pantene Moisture Renewal Conditioner. I then finger comb my hair and rinse. Finally, I apply the SheaMoisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie to my soaking wet hair and air dry.
NC: So from start to finish, on a curly day, what is your process?
LD: On a curly day, I do a hot oil treatment, wash my hair, condition of course and use my SheaMoisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie. I use the raking and smoothing method.

Citation: Toda, T., Strausbaugh, C.A., Vilgalys, R., Cubeta, M.A. 2008. Characterization of a basidiomycete fungus from sugarbeet in Idaho. Inoculum. 59:59. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: A fungus of unknown etiology was observed on stored sugarbeet roots exhibiting signs of white cottony growth in 2006 and 2007 in Idaho. Eighteen isolates obtained from sugarbeet roots were examined for growth characteristics on nutrient medium, production of phenol oxidases and ITS rDNA sequence. On malt extract (MEA) and potato dextrose (PDA) agar, each isolate produced white colored mycelium with a mean radial growth rate of 1 to 4 mm per day at temperatures ranging from 3 to 22 C. The optimum temperature for mycelial growth was 12-16 C with no growth occurring at 30 C. The isolates produced sclerotial-like structures after 6 days of incubation on MEA and PDA that formed in concentric rings and became orange in color after 2 wk. All isolates had hyaline, septate hyphae with clamp connections and two nuclei per hyphal cell, but did not produce asexual or sexual spores. On MEA and PDA amended with 0.5% tannic acid, all isolates produced a green, orange, and red color after applying solutions of gum guiac, guiacol, and syringaldezine, respectively, suggesting that they produced phenol oxidases. Sequences of the rDNA-ITS region in all isolates were nearly identical and 98 % similar to a sequence deposited in GenBank (accession no. AY969953) from an uncultured basidiomycete. Research is currently in progress to better characterize and identify this basidiomycete fungus.

hi, i am new to photo printing, so i was wondering if anyone could help me... i am looking to have 3 photos printed onto material to put up on my wall, but i am looking to print them in a style so that the material is "frayed" as if someone has torn a fabric into a square shape, and not with square edges, so that it has a messy/aged/weathered style... firstly, is this possible? and secondly, is there anywhere on the web i can email my photos to be printed in this way? i have spent hours searching google with no success!
thanks to anyone who can help!

Q1 : Why my tablet looked used with scratches on screen?
A : Every tablet pc has a screen protector on it when comes out from factory. When our Quality staff test it, they would left some scratches on it. Please take off the screen protector carefully just like in the photo below.
Q2 : Why my tablet can not start?
A : Durning the long distance delivery, the device would start by accident and the battery would drained up. Please full charge it. If the device still can not start, contact our after-sale person.
Q3 : I can not connect to internet via Wifi.
A : Please reference the following steps:
1) Make sure you input the correct password of your wireless router;
2) Stop any other wireless devices which connects to the router;
3) Clear any IP/MAC filter in router security setting, or reset the router to factory mode;
4) Reset the tablet to factory mode: Setting-Privacy-Factory Data Reset;
5) Contact us to provide you the newest firmware to reboot the tablet.
Q4 : The memory and storage is less than described.
A : All our tablets are just as described, but the pre-installed system and apps will take up some memory and storage.
Q5 : Why the battery sometimes can use long time ,sometimes lower time?
A : Because Use environment different, use of the function is different, so there will be different
Q6 : Why the RAM and ROM not the same you said?
A : Because the OS and some software need running and need use Rom ,some you only see the RAM are not real 512mb or 1gb or 2gb,the ROM are not real 4gb, 8gb, 16gb, 32gb.Please note it ,if you can't believe ,when you get the tablet or phone, you can open to see it.
Q7 : Why the GPS can't use,but the describe write built-in GPS?
A : Because every country's GPS Navigation software and the map not the same ,and we have not that ,so we have not built-in your country's GPS Navigation software and the map ,that must do it by yourself ,you can download from network in your country.

Hi, I was wondering why the nitration of acetanilide requires the use of sulfuric acid AND acetic acid. I understand that the acid medium is used to solubilize the acetanilide, so why is concentrated sulfuric acid alone not enough? On a side note, the sulfonitric solution is prepared in another tube and later added to the acetanilide mix.
As far as I know, the use of glacial acetic acid is to keep a low percentage of water, and thus, prevent hydrolysis, but this can be achieved using only the concentrated sulfuric acid.
So, why is (glacial) acetic acid needed?

Gootee developed a SPICE sim of a typical transformer.
One simply measured a few standard parameters and inserted them into the sim.

Thanks kgrlee and Andrew! I'd be looking at a 5% regulation 300VA toroid so that works out at about 0.2 ohms (for the voltage I'm looking at). That also fits with what Rod Elliot has said in one of his PS projects that to get 35V you need about 28V (which is higher than expected) secondaries. Came out smack on the money when simmed.
Andrew I did find gootee's transformer and downloaded but I don't actually have any transformers yet.. I was partially doing this to try and work out what voltage I needed to get a 30V rail when pushed hard (BA3 with 30V rails and complementary output stage one transformer per channel). Also was making sure that I had caps with high enough ripple current rating.
with 0.2 ohms series resistance and the standard BA PS with 10,000uF caps I'm getting 30V rails with a 25-0-25 transformer and load of 75W per rail. However each voltage source is showing 5A RMS which is more than half of the 300VA rating of the transformer (around 250VA) I guess because of the higher rail voltage) I might need to consider 400VA torroids.

Alas, its also more expensive
Anyone remember the thread with typical leakage inductance for big power transformers?

I didn't actually receive any useful answer.
Toni posted a number but sort-of disowned it when I pointed out that it was implausibly low.
An LCR tester was used and I assume the value was measured at a current too low to overcome the initial knee in the BH curve of the core.
I would still like a believable value if you find one.
Best wishes

This is measured with the primary shorted. It's much smaller than Primary or Secondary Inductance.
Radio Designers Handbook 4 ed. has chapter & verse. Hope everyone knows what I'm referring too. Da old fogeys will know.
In da SPICE model, its the difference between the Primary & Secondary Inductances referred to the side you want.

300VA 22Vac feeding a capacitor input filter (rectifier and smoothing) has a maximum continuous DC current available at the output of ~3.4Adc.
For cool running I and some others adopt about 50% of this for continuous duty, i.e. 1.7Adc to a ClassA amplifier.
That 5% regulation transformer will give ~31Vdc when lightly loaded.
Expect about +-30Vdc when supplying 1.7A of bias to a ClassA amplifier.
If my "in head" model is out by +-½V I would not worry. The Mains voltage variation is far bigger @ ~ +-1.8V.

Thanks Andrew. I have a 20-0-20 300VA transformer in my gain clone. I might have to second it for some real world tests I was actually thinking I would need a 25-0-25 for 30V based on what I was getting in spice (pretty sure the 20-0-20 gives me about 28 at light load), but that may be overkill... especially since my voltage never seems to drop below 247V and is often around 252V!!

If the average RMS current is the same, copper losses will be the same regardless of peak current value. So unless the reservoir pulses cause the core to heat, I don't see why they are an issue. So my question is, does core heating cause a 200VA transformer to not be enough for a 200W amp due to poor power factor? This is theoretically the reason a trafo would be rated at VA instead of W, but it's not wise to assume anything. I've tried to show current saturation in a toroid but wasn't able to.

Here is my simple spice model. 24-0-24 is looking like about the ticket for what I am trying to achieve. Though I probably need to be looking at 500VA to meet Nelson's rule of thumb of only using half the capacity of the transformer! That's 1000VA total for just 10W (class A) into 4 ohms
That is giving me around 29V rails with 2.5A of load current (per rail). factor in 5% over on the mains and I only get to about 30.5V which is still less than the absolute recommended 32V rails for a BA3.
Push that to 3A and the transformer is at full capacity and voltage drops to about 28.6V (with a 300VA toroid).
I'm starting to see why people want to use 8 ohm (or higher) impedance speakers with class A amps!!
Now I just ran the sim with close to the nominal 25V rails. and 3A bias per rail. That should be the 150W per channel that Nelson talks about. That shows about 240VA requirement on the transformer... I guess this is why Nelson says we roughly want to double it... The losses in the diodes, caps and the CRC mean that to get 150W out of the PS we need to put about 240W in... so perhaps sticking with 2 X 300VA toroidal will be fine after all.
My head is starting to hurt

I am probably being redundant in mentioning this, but remember to take account of the fact that the rectified current pulses passing through the transformer are quite large and ultimately govern much of the regulation, more so than rms values of current. The problem is that these current pulses are of typically small duty cycle, so their peak value must be high in order to support the average current demanded by the load. In very rough terms, if these pulses have a duty cycle of only 10%, and the load needs 4A, then the peak value of these pulses could be as high as 40A in the secondary winding. DCR and leakage inductance can really get you here.
Also, the mains source impedance can be a factor that should be considered as well. Obviously this will be different in different environments (e.g., how much crappy 14 AWG wire the mains must pass through in getting to your socket), so sometimes an arbitrary value should be included.
Finally, the minimum expected value of the mains voltage (say, 110V instead of 120V) should be taken into account lest you be disappointed in the power output. Finally, you need to consider the maximum expected mains voltage (say, 130V) in assessing how your amplifier will deal with the added power dissipation and voltages under these conditions.

This is a discussion on Parker cutlery boot knife within the Defensive Knives & Other Weapons forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Need some info about them. I can't find anything solid about this company and to my understanding they have been out for at least 30 ...
Need some info about them. I can't find anything solid about this company and to my understanding they have been out for at least 30 years.
I have recently come across and bought a boot knife that was up for private sale. The blade is stainless 5" and the back side has about 1-1 1/2 " blade as well. maybe it is considered double edge but not a full double edge if that is possible. I think the blade goes all the way through the handle as it is very solid and has no play what so ever. The handle could be better. It is kind of thin and rubber with little groves for grip (not finger groves just going up and down the handle.
The sheath is beautiful (leather). Even after at least the 25 years he had the knife prior to me buying it (when it was made is unknown) the sheath holds unto the knife very well. very well is actually and understatement. If I'm not pulling on it to come out, it doesn't come out. The sheath does have one little thing that could be better. There is a small almost to easy to unsnap leather strip (I forget what its called lol but you all know what I mean) that goes over one of the very almost nonexistent finger guards. The issue with this is although it does hold the knife in like it should, the knife can be pulled like it is not even snapped in. More specifically I can pull the knife out without the snap even coming undone.
Over all I do really like it and leave it iwb weak side (testing it out anyway).
Anyway does anyone know about this specific knife and parker cutlery?
