Milkweed Tussock Moth - Euchaetes egle
Size: Wingspan 32-43 mm
Identification: Wings are usually unmarked and gray. The abdomen is yellow with black spots.
Range: Easter half of the US plus Quebec and Ontario.
Habitat: Fields and edges with host plant ( milkweed ).
Life Cycle: Larvæ feed on milkweed ( Asclepias sp. ). Adults are sometimes found on the host plant during the day. Females lay eggs in "rafts" and the caterpillars are gregarious during instars 1-3. They become solitary in later instars when marked with bright tufts.
May defoliate milkweed. But at least they're not pest right? ;)

I am a teacher and I have a terrarium in my classroom. I found a Milkweed Tussock Moth Caterpillar and I was wondering if it will become a moth in the captivity or if it needs to have winter conditions. I've seen some information saying it takes 3 weeks and some saying it overwinters as a pupa. Can you help me?

It might become a moth in captivity but I can't be too sure as I've never heard of them in captivity before.
You could try it and see what happens. I'm not sure if they overwinter or not.
But I do know that caterpillars of other species of Arctiidae moths do.
But like I said try it and see what happens. :)
I'll keep looking for anything that mentions overwintering in this species.
I have been raising Milkweed Tigers and various other caterpillars for many many years.
Once the Milkweed Tiger has made its cacoon I usually put a little dirt in a container, a stick and then put it in my garage. I mist it once a month during the winter with water. In April I pull the container back out to where I can see it more regular basis. They usually come out closer to when milkweed is back in season.
The caterpiller is very fun to watch and it is very colorful. Not as exciting as a moth--gray with a bit of peach.
Good luck and enjoy.

Kevin Heifner
Bachelor of Science, Chemistry, 1987
Physician, Renal Associates
Little Rock, Arkansas
"The easiest part of medicine is taking care of the disease. The true 'art' of medicine is taking care of and loving your patient. I believe that the broad liberal arts education and Christian teachings at Ouachita help students do just that."
–Dr. Kevin Heifner
Fast facts about Dr. Kevin Heifner:
- Following graduation from Ouachita, Kevin attended the University of Tennessee College of Medicine then spent five years in training at UAB Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama. He served as an assistant professor of medicine/nephrology at UAB for several years before moving to Little Rock.
- Kevin now serves kidney patients through St. Vincent's Hospital and Baptist Hospital in Little Rock.
Why he is glad he went to Ouachita:
- Kevin appreciates the strength of the school of natural sciences, the size of the university and the commitment to individualized instruction.
- Dr. Joe Jeffers remains the single best classroom teacher Kevin ever had. Dr. Jeffers promoted a logical approach to problem solving, taught with clarity and has remained a friend over the twenty years since Kevin graduated from Ouachita.
How Ouachita prepared him for a career in medicine…
- Kevin says that Ouachita prepared him to think critically and ask good questions.
- In addition to science courses, the liberal arts offering—philosophy, in particular—helped prepare Kevin to be a caring physician.

Create more powerful, flexible applications using a new XML-based standard!
XMI (XML Metadata Interchange) is an advance in XML technology that enables you to represent objects in XML, exchange those objects with other software tools, and exploit modeling technology in your XML applications. Mastering XMI includes examples written in Java that demonstrate practical techniques for using XMI with both XML and UML. Also included is a discussion of how IBM is using XMI in its latest software development tools.
The authors cover the basics first, detailing the essential XML and UML concepts that you need to know to understand XMI. In addition to XMI fundamentals, they explain how XMI works with the Model Driven Architecture (MDA), a new software development approach.
After learning how XMI works, you will then learn how to: * Use XMI to express your object-oriented software models in XML * Generate Java implementation classes from your models using the XMI Framework * Create and read XMI documents in Java with standard XML APIs (DOM and SAX) and the XMI Framework * Reverse engineer models from XML documents, DTDs, and schemas
The CD-ROM includes: * The XMI Framework * IBM(r) XML4J XML Parser * A trial version of IBM(r) WebSphere(r) Studio Application Developer * Java programs covered in the book
The companion Web site includes tips and updates for the XMI Framework and the Java examples in the book.

Okay, so I admit it, I am a Type A, compulsive, inflexibly organized person. It's the only way I can keep the various parts of my life all (mostly!) heading in the right direction, and by parts I mean the care and feeding of one Southern husband, one picky but adorable teenager, one constantly hungry dog, one full-time job, and one obsession with photographing my dinner. In terms of the last one, my usual approach is to plan the menu for the week all in one fell swoop on Saturday morning by spreading cookbooks and clippings and scribbled notes all over the kitchen counter, picking out some good-sounding ones, making a giant list and hitting the local farmer's market and supermarket on Sunday morning. That way I know what I am making when I walk in the door each evening, and all the fixings are already there and waiting for me. Now, I have gotten more than a little bit of teasing for this over the years, so I felt extremely vindicated when I heard about this new website that Read More & Get the Recipe

Have you ever been asked to take on a task that you very much wanted to do, but which also made you a bit nervous? I recently had the opportunity to decorate three urns for the outside of our church building. I am a vegetable gardener. That qualifies me, right? My only previous experience working with evergreens is making a yearly Christmas wreath to hang on our chimney.
The church did not have urns, so part of my responsibility was shopping for them. The selection is limited this time of year, but I did manage to find three matching urns. I also purchased plastic pots to use as inserts. I reasoned that it would be easier to work with a smaller pot and then just place those into the urns when completed. Mike added rope handles to make lifting so much easier. I filled each of these with sand to hold the evergreens in place.
The weather has been beautiful and Mike and I had a wonderful time in the woods collecting evergreen branches, pine cones, and mountain laurel twigs. I also used some store bought white branches and red berries to add some color. I first built a "skirt" of branches at the edge of the pot, then added the white branches to give the arrangement some height. I filled in between with mountain laurel and more greens. I then attached pine cones to sticks with wire and used these to add some accent. I did the same with the purchased red berries.
PAID ENDORSEMENT DISCLOSURE: In order for me to support my blogging activities, I may receive monetary compensation or other types of remuneration for my endorsement, recommendation, testimonial and/or link to any products or services from this blog.
I delight in God's creation, and my hope is that the display will reflect what He has created. Hopefully, the aroma of fresh greens will refresh those in our congregation as they enter the building to worship Him!

INQ1 Facebook Phone for Mobile Social Networking
A new manufacturer has entered the UK mobile phones market with a bang, INQ have teamed up with the dedicated 3G network 3 Mobile to release the INQ1 Facebook mobile phone, an exclusive social networking focussed handset that will keep users in touch with their friends pictures and status updates on Facebook whilst they are out and about.
This is the first time a mobile phone has actually been dubbed 'The Facebook Phone', most handsets with internet access allow users to follow friends on Facebook but the new INQ1 takes it a stage further.
The INQ 1 gives users everything they would expect from a mobile phone plus access to Facebook like never before, they can get Facebook notifications direct to their INQ1 including status updates, on-screen profile pics and loads more, straight to their address book.
And like Facebook on a normal home computer users can see who is on Skype and Windows Live Messenger at any time the INQ1 pulls in and loads all the information straight into the phones address book so keeping in touch with friends has never been easier. The INQ1 switcher and carousel allows users to whiz easily through all of their internet sites, applications and options at the bottom of the screen.
With Facebook for INQ1 users can upload photos and message their friends with super fast access to Facebook on their mobile. For those that love to chat Windows Live Messenger has never been easier to use. Even free Skype-to-Skype calls are just a button away. For those that love music the INQ1 can update the tracks users play to their profile on Last.fm and show them recommendations for more music and gigs. All these great applications can be accessed at a touch of a button - The online social life is now in a pocket.
MUsers can make the phone their own by customising the INQ1 with widgets so they can access weather and whatever else they need sent straight to their mobile. Internet addict? Surfing the web is a breeze with the clever new 'auto-landscape' browser rotation and users can get fast speeds on their laptop too with HSPDA – simply plug the clever INQ¹ into the laptop or PC , just like a USB Modem, and they will be online in seconds.
Further features of the new INQ 1 include a 3.2 Megapixel camera, large screen, Bluetooth and an MP3 music player. It's the world's first mobile which keeps up with the social life of its user and satisfies their Facebook needs in an instant.
Users can even use the INQ 1 as a USB modem for their laptop whilst away from home, just by plugging in the phone to surf at broadband speeds with 'plug 'n play'.
The new INQ1 Facebook phone has been initially released as a Pay As You Go mobile phone but is expected to be offered as a pay monthly contract phone in the very near future, for those that struggle to pass the network credit checks the pay as you go option is perfect as there are no checks involved.
There are also no worries about ongoing line rental charges spiralling out of control, with pay as you go phones users can simply top up their calling credit as and when they run low. The INQ 1 will appeal to anyone who is hooked on social networking with Facebook - updating their status aswell as uploading pictures straight to their profile whilst out and about mean that they are constantly in touch with friends whever they might be.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley & Kate Bosworth: Burberry Babes
It's always one of the most anticipated shows, and a handful of top names turned up for the Burberry Autumn Winter 2012 Womenswear Show in London on Monday (February 20).
Held as part of London Fashion Week at Kensington Gardens, Rosie Huntington Whiteley arrived clad in a fur-trimmed gray bomber jacket, peach-colored top, orange color block handbag and plum corduroy trousers with black platform pumps.
Also on-hand to check out the brand's latest looks was Kate Bosworth, who looked darling in a gray owl-printed sweater, black velvet bow tie belt, taupe-colored tweed pencil skirt, black leather clutch and brown suede booties.
The show appearance comes as Rosie recently sat down for an interview with the March 2012 issue of GQ Australia, in which she opened up about making it as a model.
Of the experience, the 24-year-old told, "It's not what you know, it's who you know – my mother taught me that. So when I went to London shortly after doing work experience, I popped into the agency to say hello and keep my contacts alive. There was a new agent there, and she asked if I wanted to give modeling a go. I thought it might let me see deeper inside the industry, and so why not – I leapt at the opportunity. Within a year I was traveling to America, being booked for French Connection, Tommy Hilfiger, Abercrombie & Fitch. I started to make serious money. Suddenly, school didn't seem quite so important."

Aug 20, 2011
Head coach Tim Vom Steeg touted the depth of his 2011 squad when he previewed the season earlier this week. When the Gauchos stepped on the field Saturday for their season-opening exhibition against cross town foe Westmont, they backed the talk up with a 6-1 blowout at Meredith Field at Harder Stadium.
In front of a crowd of 3,074 fans, six different Gauchos scored as UCSB cruised to the Bryant and Sons Cup victory, their 11th consecutive win over Westmont.
Fittingly, UCSB's leading scorer from the 2010 campaign – junior Sam Garza – picked up where he left off and buried the first goal of the game. Senior Luis Silva set up the strike when he stole the ball and then crossed it on the ground to Garza on the left. Garza cut the ball to the right and hit a low shot that beat Westmont goalkeeper Matthew McNabb from 16 yards out in the 12th minute.
The Gauchos stretched their lead to 2-0 with just under three minutes to go in the first half when senior Peter McGlynn sent a cross to the near post where sophomore David Opoku connected with it and sent it into the back of the net.
UCSB continued its quick-paced attack in the second half. Junior Christian Vazquez scored in the 64th minute off of a short through pass from Silva to give the Gauchos a three-goal advantage.
Santa Barbara squeezed in its remaining three goals in the last 10:30 of the game. Junior Michael Nonni helped Waid Ibrahim get in on the action when he raced past a pair of defenders and then crossed the ball into the box where the senior headed it in.
After assisting two goals, Silva finally notched on one of his own off of a free kick. After a quick tap from Ibrahim, Silva sent a shot into the back of the net from 20 yards out.
The Warriors were able to avoid the shutout in the last two minutes when Daniel Johnsen scored on Isaac Thompkins' rebounded shot.
With just 42 seconds to go, Nonni decided he had one more run in him as he capped the game off with a breakaway goal.
The Gauchos out-shot the visiting Warriors, 21-4, and 11-1 in the first half.
UCSB will officially open the 2011 season next Saturday, Aug. 26 when it hosts Seattle University at 7 pm at Meredith Field at Harder Stadium.

News Etrian Odyssey Untold's English Launch Trailer Streamed
posted on 2013-10-01 15:15 EDT
Atlus USA began streaming the English launch trailer for the Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl (Shin Sekaija no Meikyū: Millennium no Shōjo) Nintendo 3DS role-playing game on Tuesday. The trailer previews MADHOUSE's additional animated scenes for the game.
The studio Madhouse produced not only the opening anime, but other anime sequences for the game.
The game features an expanded story mode and a classic mode that updates the original Etrian Odyssey game. The story mode allows players to use five pre-made characters with personality and dialogue to explore a story not told in the first game. The game also features a Grimoire Stone system allowing characters to use skills outside of their classes. Shigeo Komori directed the game, and Shin Nagasawa designed the monsters.
Atlus USA began selling the game in stores and on the Nintendo e-Shop for US$39.99 on October 1. Those who pre-ordered the game will get a seven-track music CD by composer Yuzo Koshiro and a design book.
The game shipped in Japan on June 27 for 6,279 yen (about US$63).
Atlus USA released Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan for the Nintendo 3DS on February 26.

I have a 2002 Caravan SE. When I stop, the brake lite comes on. Usually after I have taken the foot off the brake and started moving. It stays on for a couple of seconds and then goes out. Stops fine. I thought it might be trying to tell me that the the front disk brakes were low, and pulled the wheels.
They are fine. No error codes on the regular ODBII. Any suggestions?

Richard "Rick" Thompson, a candidate for the Democratic Party's gubernatorial nomination in May's primary election, is in the Eastern Panhandle to see his son participate in a SkillsUSA competition at James Rumsey Technical Institute this weekend, and he visited Jefferson County Friday.
Thompson, a delegate from Wayne County for 11 years, has served as speaker of the House for the past five legislative sessions. He is also chair of the House Rules Committee.
His campaign for governor began about 18 months ago in expectation of a 2012 election, but Thompson decided to run in 2011 when the special election was announced, with support from his wife Beth.
Thompson served in the U.S. Army before attending Marshall University for his undergraduate degree and law school at West Virginia University.
"West Virginia's been very good to me, and I want to give back to West Virginia," Thompson said. "I've been doing that as speaker, and I think I could do that better as governor. ... I want to give back to the state I owe so much."
While Wayne County is on the opposite side of West Virginia in relation to the Eastern Panhandle, it does face some of the issues counties in this region face because Wayne, Berkeley, Jefferson and Morgan counties all border neighboring states.
"I understand what we do in West Virginia affects our businesses, it affects our education system because people can just drive across to the next state if we don't handle things appropriately," Thompson said. "Every tax we impose that's higher affects especially our border counties."
Thompson added that he supported failed legislation dealing with issues that might affect the Eastern Panhandle more than other parts of the state, specifically homestead exemption and Marcellus Shale, during the recently-concluded legislative session.
"We need a special session dealing just with Marcellus Shale, because it has a tremendous potential but also a tremendous risk to our citizens," he said. "So we want to maximize what we can do with that but we want to protect our citizens."
An issue facing the Eastern Panhandle and other border areas is the gas tax, which some believe is harmful to business in border areas because residents can drive a short distance to purchase cheaper gas instead of spending money in West Virginia.
"The problem in West Virginia is that over 70 percent of our highways are secondary roads, that's the sole funding for those," Thompson said of the gas tax. "We need to find an alternative funding source for our secondary roads, because the alternative is to be hitting potholes and spending $500 to repair your rims and tires. ... We've got to find an alternative funding source, but each time we find one then there's always some problem with it."
The food tax is another issue that is believed to drive West Virginia consumers to other states with either a lower food tax or no such tax. Thompson said he tried to pass legislation to phase out the food tax during the recent session, a proposal which was defeated. Instead, the tax was reduced by 1 percent.
Thompson is one of six Democratic candidates running for the party's gubernatorial nomination in the May 14 primary election, according to the secretary of state's office. There are eight official Republican candidates, one Republican listed as a precandidate, and two Mountain Party members listed as precandidates.

Digital media and marketing professionals are bullish on video ad spending, find Adap.tv and Digiday in their latest semi-annual "State of the Video Industry" report released today. Brands reported an average 65% increase in spending this year over last, with agencies upping their expenditures by 83%. And the dollars should keep coming: roughly 9 in 10 brand and agency respondents plan to increase video ad spending next year. So where's that money coming from?
TV is the likely answer, and the study results bear that out. 31% of brands said they would pull from broadcast TV (up from 19% last year), while 10% said they would draw from their cable budgets (down from 13% last year).
Interestingly, though, the most common response from brands was that video budgets would be incremental: 33% said their spending wouldn't come at the expense of any other category. That's up from 26% stating the same last year.
Display remains on the hook this year, too, with 30% of brands saying they'd shift funding from there to online video, relatively unchanged from last year's 32% anticipating such a shift. But concerns about display cannibalization ramping up seem to not have materialized for the time being.
Print (19%, down from 29% last year) appears to be relatively safe this time around, while direct response (6%, from 3%) and search (5%, from 0%) may see some budget cuts in favor of online video.
Expanding the respondent base to brands and agencies changes the picture significantly. Broadcast budgets are likely to be targeted by 21% this year, significantly fewer than the 31% who responded that way in 2010. By contrast, 11% plan to shift money out of cable, up from 3% in 2010.
Some other striking differences emerge from the expanded sample base: just 3% this year say they will draw from their online display budgets, a dramatic change from 2010's 26%. Meanwhile, 26% will pull from search (a marked increase from 3%), and a significant 42% will move money out of their out-of-home (OOH) budgets in favor of video (also up from just 3% in 2010).
In tandem, these results suggest that agencies are much more likely than brands to tap into cable, search, and OOH budgets, and much less likely to cannibalize online display. Given that 16% of agencies and brands combined say that video ad spend will be incremental, the results also indicate that agencies are less likely than brands to be giving new dollars to video.
So how about those broadcast budgets – slated to be the target for 21% of brands and agencies? It turns out that last year, a majority 58% of agencies and brands borrowed from their broadcast budgets to fund some video spending. Specifically, 45% said they pulled 1-10% of their broadcast dollars for video, 9% drew 11-20% of the budgets, and 4% more than 20%.
About the Data: For two weeks in late September and early October 2013, Adap.tv and Digiday polled its opted-in base of leading digital media and marketing pros for their impressions of changes in online video buying and selling. Owing to the acquisition of Adap.tv by AOL, access included a very large pool of seasoned advertisers, making the survey the most extensive yet with more than 900 participants.
Participants were offered the incentive of full study results and being entered in a drawing to attend a Digiday Summit or their choice of e-tablet (one recipient each). Agency and Trading Desk participants constituted 43 percent of participants (390), followed by 25 percent video publishers (227), 19 percent advertisers (171), and 14 percent Ad Networks, DSPs and SSPs (128).

Interracial fantasy, it is what our women want and need that compels them to crave intimacy with black men. It is the allure of the dark and mysterious. It is the forbidden and the unobtainable, only now it IS obtainable, and in many cases the white husband or boyfriend will help her obtain it!
By all accounts the incidence of black male white female sexual interaction is growing,
some suggest by leaps and bounds! Why is this? In an earlier article I alluded to the strong historical sexual taboo against interracial sexuality as fueling much of this growth. Interracial sex has long been taboo in our country, especially the variety between black men and white women. This was the ultimate sexual taboo, motivated by the white man's fear of black male sexuality as a force that would undermine him socially, sexually and besmirch the honor of his pure and chaste white wife. As I have often noted, every emotion has a mirror image, a "flip" side of the coin so to speak, and thus there is often a fine line between anxiety and excitement. Fear and jealousy can also be linked with sexual arousal, and the white male while feeling tremendous anxiety at the prospect of the black man plundering his woman's "treasure" also feel the excitement of sexual arousal in the at the thought or sight of his white wife surrendering to interracial lust and he black man's potent sexuality. This is where the interracial fantasy that grips white men and women began.
Interracial History
The history of racial segregation and prejudice in much part revolved around the white man's fear of his woman being the object of the black man's interracial lust and affections. The civil rights movement paved the way for the most obvious and violent forms of racial oppression to be eliminated, but the sexual taboo regarding interracial sexuality has remained strong up until present day. It's just that it is not legal anymore to restrict this form of sexuality, and so black man and white women may "legally" interact on a sexual level, even though many whites still frown of this form of sexuality. With the advent of the internet, and thus the ability of masses of people to view erotic imagery in privacy and anonymity, white men in particular have been exposed to interracial imagery in a setting where they could react to and come to terms with it, without revealing their feelings outwardly to others. This has allowed the seductive erotic potential of interracial sexuality to seep into their minds and begin to transform the fear and jealousy into excitement and pleasure.
Sexual Taboo – The Turning Point
One could have wondered what would happen in our society when white men en masse stop fearing and started embracing the erotic potential of interracial sexuality. As the white husband in the privacy of his interracial fantasy begins to imagine the unimaginable, his white wife in the sexual embrace of a Negro! He finds to his amazement that he is in fact turned on at this thought! His innate fear of black male sexuality is replaced by a growing realization that it could be a source of great pleasure not only for his woman, but for him as well. He cannot believe how turned on he becomes when viewing interracial imagery where the white woman is wantonly giving herself over to interracial lust for the black man. He begins to imagine his white wife in those scenes and even dares fantasize about allowing or even encouraging his wife to submit sexually to a black man. Once the potential for excitement and pleasure in this interracial fantasy was realized, this phenomenon began to spread among white men via the internet, and it's popularity is growing as the prevalence of interracial imagery on the net grows.
Sexual Liberation of White Women
White women come to this concept in a decidedly different way. The fear they have historically had concerning black male sexuality was based more on the reactions of white men and the community at large. There has always been curiosity about black man on the part of white women, but never in our history has there been an outlet for
satisfying that curiosity until now. They have over time heard the stories and rumors in whispers of the black man's superior size penis and unrelenting sexual energy. They have in the modern era learned that those rumors were largely true! Given the sexually liberating effect of modern feminism and the legally liberating effect of the civil rights movement, white women can now embrace this enticingly mysterious "black sexuality" to determine for themselves just what it is like to be the object of a black man's sexual attentions.
For the first time the white woman is able to admit even to herself that she DOES enjoy the feel of the black man's penis inside her. His size and shape, the way he fills her, his sexual stamina, his dominance, all are intoxicating to her. At last she has met a man who can completely satisfy and fulfill her! Now however, she has a dilemma. She loves the interracial fantasy, the sexual magic and interracial lust that she feels in the black man's arms, but at the same time, she wants the stability that comes from the approval of white society, and thus feels that while she craves the sexuality of the black bull, she wants societal approval of a conventional marriage to a white man.
She wants the typical "whitebread" existence, house with the white picket fence, in a "nice" quiet neighborhood ect.. She was forced to make a tradeoff and thus chose to marry a white man. Now white women are finding out that they can have it all, the conservative conventional appearance of marriage to a white husband, AND also the deeply satisfying sex to be had with a black bull. The best of both worlds!
This is not to suggest that all white women want to marry black men. There is much to be said for relationships in which people share the same racial background, religion, political ideology, and perspectives. Also, not all white women married to white men view their sex lives as unsatisfying. Many white couples enjoy very fulfilling sex lives, BUT…… when and if they discover the many joys inherent in the interracial lifestyle, many avail
themselves of the opportunity to explore and experience the ultimate sexual taboo, and most are more than glad that they did. Indeed I believe, and it has been born out by some of the individuals that I have had the pleasure of corresponding with in my groups, that a happy and fulfilling marriage is the best environment in which to enjoy the interracial lifestyle.
The Cuckold White Husband
Most of the time it is the white husband who through what they see on the internet become more and more interested in interracial sexuality and gradually get to the pointwhere they wish to introduce cuckolding to their wives. By all accounts this phenomenon (white couples embracing black sexuality) is growing at a healthy pace, due mostly to the insistence of the white male in the relationship.
Once the white wife or girlfriend begins to fully understand the opportunity for pleasure and fulfillment inherent in this arrangement, she is willing to go forward and experience it, enjoy it, and come to develop a hunger for it. This hunger to interracial sexuality reflects a woman's nature and need to experience dynamic sexual interaction and variety with a man who can tap into her interracial fantasy and most primitive aspects of her sexuality in a way that white men cannot always do.

Right now my '69 GTO has very old, dry-rotted 245/60/14 Dunlop tires on 14X6 Rallys. Due for an upgrade! The way I see it, I only have a couple tire choices with 14" wheels, thus I have decided to upgrade to 15" Rallys (already found a good used set). As for the rubber: I want to go to 275/60/15 in the rear and 245/60/15 in the front. Will I run into any fitment/clearance issues with the rear tires?I am considering BF Goodrich Radial *** Cooper Cobra GT, or Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/T for tires. I am leaning towards the M/Ts for the few dollars more per tire, but I would like to hear any comments or suggestions.Can't wait for the fresh rubber and clean wheels!
****1969 GTO resto in progress. '76 350+.060, #13 heads, 9.2:1 CR, Lunati cam, Edelbrock Performer, 750 Holley, HEI, Ram Air manifolds, 2 1/2" exhaust. TH400 trans w/shift kit and 2400 stall. 235/60/15 front, 275/60/15 rear on Rally II 15X7s. GM 12 bolt posi with 3.73's.
275 60s in back should work but may rub depending on the individual car and type of tire. I run them out back on my 69 GP and they can rub on big dips. Same tire on my '72 Cutlass does not rub. Just be sure to round off wherever the tire might rub, so it doesn't get cut.On the front- Here again- 255/60s rub on turns, at the back of the fender. No rub if on the Cutlass. Its an A body like the Goat, but really so is the GP. Anyway, using Pontiac rallys you should have a very nice fit. Possibility of a small rub.255s or 245s make great all-around tire sizes, but next step down might be 255 and 235 on big-n-littles, to keep the same kind of rake if the size you want is too big. Last of all, I have a set of Uniroyal Tiger Paw GTS that seems to be a great tire, with raised solid white letters. Love em but my fave is the Goodyear Eagle GTII, best looking and longest lasting. You will buy two sets of radial T A 's for one set of GTIIs. JMHO.
Check out Coy wheels as they have some good looking wheels like the ones they made for the car in fast and furious movie. I bought my 18" Cragar SS from them and they are/where good people to deal with.http://www.coyswheel.com/coys.html
Awesome. Thank you for the reassurance. I also found this car while doing a search for GTOs with these tires http://www.antiquecar.com/index/listings/page11772.htm. He's running the sizes we're talking about with BF Goodrich lettering.I'll do 245/60/15 up front and 275/60/15 out back. I have a pair of adjustable air shocks in the back, so if they rub, I'll pump up it up. The Rallys I'll be running are 15x7, the 275mm wide tires are recommended to wrap around a minimum 7.5" wide wheel. But, I'm not going to worry about it too much.I'll look into the Goodyear Eagles you mention. Throughout my tire searching I didn't come across them in the sizes I'm after, but I'll look closer.
****1969 GTO resto in progress. '76 350+.060, #13 heads, 9.2:1 CR, Lunati cam, Edelbrock Performer, 750 Holley, HEI, Ram Air manifolds, 2 1/2" exhaust. TH400 trans w/shift kit and 2400 stall. 235/60/15 front, 275/60/15 rear on Rally II 15X7s. GM 12 bolt posi with 3.73's.
I think Summit still has them but they might be discontinued. Your 245s up front is a good choice. The 275s will be fine on the 7"ers and look wide. The skinnier rim helps avoid the rub, but you'll have to run lower tire pressure to wear the tread evenly.
Just decrease the profile of tire as your wheel diameter increases. The GTO could run 18" wheels without problems. I have 18" Cragars on my Catalina (for now) but could easly go to 20" wheels if desired just by going with lower profile tires. If do that the overall diameter of tire and wheel can stay the same even though you add inches to the wheel size.
Here is a 1969 GTO running 18" front and 20" rear wheels, its static dropped on springs and not bagged.
Yes, these Goats really do have very sizable wheel wells. Lots of room to stuff wheels and tires into. Not sure how I feel about those wheels on that car in the pic above. Just not really my style, but a prime example of the fitment potential. I like Rallys, steelies, Cragars, the drag style wheels, like Pro Star and Centerline, and those "Muscle Car" wheels. Those look like they belong on an Escalade to me, just my opinion. I do like the look of some neg camber in the front. And I like the shaker hood, that's awesome.Now I just need to find the time to go get these wheels, they're about 2 hours away from me. I'll try to post some pics of before and after once it's all said and done. Thanks for all the help guys.I'm still leaning towards the Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/Ts. They have a good looking tread and the name has a great rep.

I think those M/T sticky tires wear out quickly because their soft, I'm with id and like the goodyears.
"We build Excitement"
JB,I don't like the style of those wheels on the yellow GTO either as they look like overgrown Camaro wheels. If you truly like Cragars and like the look of larger sized wheels send me a PM as I will sell you mine for a very good price (less than 1/2 of new cost. They are 18" Chrome Cragar SS wheels and mounted on Pirelli tires, they are only a few months old and have less than 200 miles on them. See photo below. (ignore the oil on the ground its been fixed)
Check out my wheels
"We build Excitement"
steam-rollah baby!
I have 275/60/14 on rally 2 wheels on the back of my 69 GTO and they rub on the inter wheel well and I have air shocks it doesn't help at all .
Tubbin time Hey Jack, nice grass,...clean garage too...Oh and not a bad GTO either
"We build Excitement"
If tires rub a little is it possible to fix it by rolling the fenders. I ask as saw the import guys roll fenders to put larger tires so wonder if it can work on our American cars as well. They do it using tool below but have also seen a guy do it using a baseball bat.

Hello all,
I would like to know more about the "Skip Factor" on CoCo disks. First, here's what I know, please correct me if I'm wrong on anything. Basic's DSKINI has an optional parameter allowing the user to format the disk using a specified skip factor.
The Skip factor tells the floppy controller where to find a sector on a given track. This was designed to allow an optimized access to sequential read. By default, Basic uses "4" as Skip Factor.
A "track" is physically a 'circle' on the disk. This circle is divided into sectors.
To demonstrate this, let's illustrate the physical sector on a track:
Physical sector (01 to 18, then it wraps around back to 01, etc..)
01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 (loop) 01 02 ..
When Basic finishes loading sector 01, by the time it has finished processing and gets ready to start reading sector 02, the disk has kept revolving so it is already on the middle of sector 03 or 04.
In order to read sector 02, the disk would have to complete almost a full spin and thus slowing down the read.
To this effect, the "logical sector" are interleaved, as I said for Basic the default skip is 4, so the layout might look like this:
Logical sector:
01 10 06 15 02 11 07 16 03 12 08 17 04 13 09 18 05 14
This means that after reading sector 01, the disk will be somewhere over sector 06 or 15. Waiting for sector 02 is very short since it is almost the next one.
I read somewhere that OS-9 uses a skip factor of 2, since it performs faster than basic.
Now my questions:
– Is using a skip factor of '2' the fastest possible disk access, since using a skip factor of '1' would leave no time between sector reads?
– How does the disk controller *knows* what is the skip factor on a given disk?
– Since 'DSKCON' routines doesn't know or care about skip factor, it means that Basic's 'DSKINI' has some special low level access directly to the controller hardware?
– Will any 'skip factor' work? i.e.: it would only be less than optimal, but it should no cause problem for Basic?
– How can I experiment with custom Skip Factor using Rainbow IDE, which creates a CoCo DSK using "DECB DSKINI" internally during build?
– Can a program detect what is the Skip Factor on a disk?
– About disk read speed: since a track is physically a circle on the disk, it means that outer tracks are longer than inner tracks. And since track capacity remains constant, it must mean the data on the shortest track will read faster?
– ..and if it reads faster, then sector skip time will be much shorter, thus the skip factor must be set according to the fastest sectors?
I did some quick test but I didn't notice any speed difference between tracks, I am wrong?

Second revisit of the NICIL controversy (Part I)
Accountability Watch
I do not care to know your various theories about God. What is the use of discussing all the subtle doctrines about the soul? Do good and be good. And this will take you to freedom and to whatever truth there is.
In last week's column, I mentioned that I had done an analysis of the operations of NICIL and had concluded that NICIL is not a public corporation as there was no evidence that an order was issued under the Public Corporations Act 1988 deeming it as such.
A few days ago, a professional colleague gave me a photocopy of a notification dated 18 July 2000 in which Section 5 of the Act, dealing with the vesting of movable and immovable property of the State, was deemed to apply to NICIL. Today, we assess the implications of this new information on my original analysis.
Background to the Public Corporations Act
During the 1970s and the early 1980s, there had been a proliferation of public corporations in almost every area of economic activity. These corporations had a dual reporting relationship in that they reported to the Vice-President of the Guyana State Corporation (GUYSTAC), the umbrella body that provided policy directives and to some extent supervision. At the same time, they reported to their respective subject Ministers. This arrangement would have created some degree of tension in the management of these corporations.
The Public Corporations Act 1988 dissolved GUYSTAC mainly to remove centralized control and to provide corporations with greater autonomy and flexibility to manage their affairs under policy directives from the concerned Ministers. All of GUYSTAC's assets at the time of its dissolution were transferred to and vested in the State. At the same time, individual corporations were provided with updated and specific legislation in relation to their establishment and management.
Establishment of a public corporation and vesting of State assets
Sections 3 to 5 of the Act provide for procedures to be followed in the establishment of a public corporation and the vesting of assets in its name. The Minister may, by order, establish such a corporation. Where there is no Minister, the President assumes that responsibility. The order is subject to negative resolution of the National Assembly. Once a public corporation comes into being, Section 5(1) provides for the vesting in the said corporation movable and immovable property of the State. The order vesting immovable property is treated as if it were a transport or other document effecting conveyance, as provided for by Section 5(2).
A new corporation is unlikely to have any resources to acquire its own assets. It is therefore necessary for it to be provided with the minimum amount of movable and immovable property to assist with its start-up operations, bearing in mind that with the dissolution of GUYSTAC there would have been surplus assets, not to mention numerous other State assets, some of which could be beneficially used by the new corporation. As the corporation progresses in life, it will generate its own revenue, in which case it can acquire assets of its own. Section 5 does not provide for the vesting of assets in an existing corporation nor is there an intention to vest assets in a new corporation that are surplus to its requirement.
Transfers to a corporation
This is provided for under Section 8 whereby the Minister by order may transfer to a corporation, or place under its control the whole or part of:
(a) any undertaking of any other corporation or other body corporate owned by the State or in which controlling interest is vested in the State or any agency on behalf of the State; or
(b) any commercial, manufacturing or research undertaking of the State.
Disposal of assets
It is recognized that over time a corporation may be accumulating assets that are surplus to its requirement. It may also have surplus assets if its operations are scaled down, or if it acquires new assets to replace those that are not economically feasible to retain. In these situations, Section 23 (6) provides for the concerned Minister to give specific directives for the disposal of capital assets and for the whole or part of the proceeds to be paid into the Consolidated Fund.
If by chance, a new corporation disposes within a short time of an asset acquired from the State, it would be reasonable for the Minister to direct that the entire proceeds, net of expenses, be paid over to the Consolidated Fund. It would be inappropriate for the corporation to retain such proceeds, as this will result in a windfall gain at the expense of the State.
The disposal of assets that have been used for some time is a different matter, and the Minister will have to make a judgment as to what amount should be paid over to the Consolidated Fund. If a large surplus is made from the disposal, it would be reasonable for that surplus to be paid over to the Fund. The Act does not envisage that assets will be vested in a new corporation for the sole purpose of disposal and for the corporation to retain the proceeds. Indeed, there are other mechanisms for the disposal of State assets and for the proceeds to be paid over to the Consolidated. In particular, there is a standard line item in the National Budget entitled "Sale of assets" to ensure not only Parliamentary approval of the sale but also proper accountability for the proceeds.
Deemed public corporation
Section 6(2) provides for any State-owned/controlled corporate entity to be reconstituted under the Act, and thereupon the reconstituted entity shall be deemed to have been established as a public corporation. All the provisions of the Act are then applicable to it, except as provided for by Section 3(3) where the Minister has the authority to exclude or modify any of the provisions of the Act. The rationale for Section 6(2) is that a State-owned/controlled entity, other than a corporation, could enjoy some or all of the benefits of a corporation, which are otherwise not available under, say, the Companies Act.
Application of provisions of the Act to certain bodies corporate
By Section 66(1), the Minister may, by notification in the Gazette, apply any of the provisions of the Act, without modifications or with such modifications as may be specified therein, to any State-owned/controlled entity, other than a corporation. Unlike Section 6(2), any such notification does not confer upon the entity the status of a deemed corporation, and therefore the entity cannot apply any of the provisions of the Act, save and except those specifically stated in the notification.
Application of the above requirements of the Act to NICIL
NICIL has not been deemed a public corporation as no order has been issued under Section 6(2) deeming it as such. However, on 18 July 2000, the then President issued the following notification:
In the exercise of the powers conferred upon me by section 66(1) of the Public Corporations Act 1988 (No. 21 of 1988) ("the Act") it is hereby notified that section 5 of the Act shall, with effect from July 10, 2000, be deemed to apply to the National Industrial and Commercial Investments Limited, being a company incorporated under the Companies Act with registered offices at 126 Barrack & Parrade Streets, Kingston, Georgetown, Demerara and wholly by the Government on behalf of the State: with the following modifications:
(1) that the reference in section 5(1) to any corporation, including an existing corporation shall be deemed to be reference to National Industrial & Commercial Investments Ltd.
(2) That the reference in section 5(2) to a corporation shall be deemed to be a reference to National and Industrial commercial Investments Ltd.
Although Section 5 relates to a new corporation, the above-mentioned notification extends its applicability to NICIL which was incorporated on 18 July 1990. NICIL is therefore not a new State-owned entity in need of movable and immovable property for start-up operations.
In addition, the Minister has been referring to section 8 as his authority for the disposal of assets vested in NICIL to entities or individuals, whereas Section 8 is only applicable to transfers to corporations. As mentioned above also, the Minister cannot apply any of the provisions of the Act other than Section 5 since NICIL has not been deemed a public corporation.
Further, the notification of 18 July 2000 took effect from 10 July 2000. However, there is evidence that orders were issued prior to this date, vesting assets in NICIL or transferring them to third parties. For example, Tract 'X' and sublot 'A' of mudlot 16 Kingston, Georgetown; and Plots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 & 'X' Plantation Ruimveldt, were shown as having been vested in December 1999 via orders 48 and 50 of 1999 respectively. Similarly, Plot 7 Plantation Ruimveldt was transferred to a private company also in December 1999 via order 23 of 1999.

With Michigan's 55-52 upset win over No. 4 UCLA, the Wolverines snapped a 12-game losing streak to nationally ranked opponents. The last win for U-M against a ranked opponent was a 58-55 win against No. 24 Indiana at Crisler Arena on Feb. 17, 2007. Michigan also improves its record to 15-10 at Madison Square Garden.
With the victory over UCLA, it marked the first win for the Wolverines against a top-five ranked opponent since the 1997-98 season when U-M beat No. 1 Duke 81-73 on Dec. 3, 1997, at Crisler Arena.
After snapping a four-game losing streak against UCLA with the win, Michigan is now 4-11 all-time against the Bruins. The last win for U-M was part of back-to-back wins against the Bruins at Crisler Arena (70-66, Dec. 27, 2007) and at Pauley Pavilion (81-76, Dec. 28, 2002).
Michigan used a 61.9-percent shooting percent (13-for-21) in the second half, including a 4-for-8 performance from long range to overcome a 10-point deficit early in the second half. Michigan shot 31.3 percent in the first half (10-for-31) and was 1-for-12 from long range.
DeShawn Sims led the Wolverines with a game-high 18 points, marking his third straight game he has scored in double figures. Overall, it marks his 29th career game posting double figures in the scoring column.
Manny Harris's 15 points against UCLA gives his three straight games scoring in double figures. He has now posted 31 double-figure scoring nights out of his 35-game U-M career.
With a final-second block of UCLA's Darren Collison three-point attempt, Manny Harris tied a career high with two total blocks against the Bruins. Harris first had two blocks against Iowa on March 13, 2008, at the Big Ten Tournament.
Stu Douglass scored a career-high 10 points against UCLA. It marked the first time in his career he has scored in double figures. En route to the career mark, Douglass drained two triples in the second half to help the Wolverines take the lead for the first time. In fact, eight of the 10 points came in the second half.
Anthony Wright tied a career best with four assists against UCLA. In fact, Wright's backdoor pass to DeShawn Sims for the dunk in the second half helped the Wolverines pull ahead for good in the upset win. Wright also had four helpers at Ohio State last season on Feb. 5, 2008.
For the third straight game, Michigan had David Merritt, Stu Douglass and Manny Harris starting on the perimeter and Anthony Wright and Zack Gibson starting in the front court.
With his start against UCLA, Manny Harris has now started 35 straight games and has not missed a start in his career.
Michigan Head Coach John Beilein
On tonight's game ... "UCLA plays great defense and that was November basketball. It could have been a record for charges taken by both teams, which is good for both defenses, but I'm sure Ben would like his guys to have taken care of the ball a little bit better. We'd like to be a little bit sharper. But it still is a fun game for our players and university, and all of our Michigan fans wherever they may be."
On getting an early-season win ... "Early-season wins are always terrific, but you have to really put them into perspective. It's certainly a resume-type game where if you end up playing well in your Big Ten season and you end up being in a situation in March where you're under consideration, this game is very valuable. It's great and it's great for our team, but we have another great opponent tomorrow and it will be another great measuring stick to see where we are."
On team's toughness ... "You have to be tough at this time of year, in November, because (the) timing of everything is off. No matter what we're doing or what UCLA is doing, timing is off and you have to be tough-minded during that time. You can't let a deficit get in the way; you can't also be in a situation where you're playing really well and let that get into the way. That's been a theme of ours all year long, just be tougher both mentally and physically. You can't do a lot about the physical part sometimes, but mentally I thought it was great how we just bounced back. Once again, UCLA guards you so well, so I'm very proud of the way we did that."
On team's 1-3-1 defense ... "You can change what you're doing all the time and try to keep the ball out of a guy like (Darren) Collison's hands. You don't know how teams are going to react sometimes. They missed some shots in the second half and we created some turnovers."
On moving on from tonight's win ... "I told them to enjoy it tonight and tomorrow we go back to work. Handling success is sometimes more difficult than handling defeat. We have to handle the success and be ready tomorrow. I gave them a time of 10:30, we just change over. We have another great opportunity tomorrow."

"One of the most common traits of a successful school is strong leadership," writes Education Daily reporter Adam Dolge. His article, "NAESP Calls for Stronger Principal Evaluations," reviews the results of the recently released report Designing Principal Evaluation Systems: Research to Guide Decision-Making and describes the Principal Evaluation Initiative, which was launched by NAESP and the National Association of Secondary School Principals in July.
The report addresses the great promise the an effective principal evaluation system has to strengthen the capacity of principals and their schools, even though current research raises questions about the consistency, fairness, and value of current principal evaluation practices. The report's findings will inform the Principal Evaluation Initiative, which will develop guidelines, ensure that principal evaluation systems are informed by the best available research on principal performance indicators, and incorporate best practice into evaluation design.
Dolge connects the principal evaluation initiative with the ongoing discussion of defining effective leadership, as does Christina Samuels in her Education Week article, "Principals' Job Reviews Getting a Fresh Look." She writes:
In March 2010, the Obama administration's blueprint for the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act proposed that states define what it means to be an "effective" or a "highly effective" principal. Under the blueprint, states would be required to use student academic growth as an important measure of effectiveness, and they would have to ensure that effective school leaders are spread equitably among schools.
Samuels goes on to write:
Gail Connelly, the executive director of the NAESP, said that the groups want to create a process that incorporates student performance into student evaluations, but also allows support for professional development and principal mentoring.
"We're responding to a real eagerness on the part of our principals that they be held accountable on all the things that matter," Ms. Connelly said. That includes student test scores, but not that measure alone, she said, echoing the parallel discussion going on over teacher evaluation.
The Principal Evaluation Initiative will produce research-based guidelines for principal evaluation in the next six to eight months.
I, for one, am very excited
I, for one, am very excited about the prospect of clearer standards and guidelines for principal evaluation. As a veteran principal, I have seen employment decisions for principals over the years that are based largely on political capital and the ability to schmooze central office administrators. At this juncture, in my district, a high-performing principal at a low-income school is out of favor with our bosses simply because he functions as a voice for his students, teachers, and community. Why a principal of a school that made AYP (the only one in a district of 35 schools) should be worried about evaluation is beyond me. More objective guidelines may hold more than just principals accountable--they may root out some of the structures that have kept whole-scale improvements from taking place, starting with holding central office administrators accountable, too.

The ultimate finishing to your dream house is given by the right selection and application of a good paint color. It is not easy to find out the right combination of paints depends on the various factors. Making a house is not so hard comparing to selecting the right paint combination but only one difference is that you can make changes as and when you need a change.
Climatic condition of a country or locality should be considered first before going for the right color combination. There are a lot of painting solutions available all over the world keeping in mind the climatic conditions and preference of the customers. The present day advertisements talking about the weather proof paints which can prevent the continuous rain or heat. In countries where there is heavy rainfall it is advisable to go for weatherproof paints. Moisture build up can literally damage your house and it is advisable to use a waterproof paint and it can save your valuable money spent on repairing every now and then.
Also the wooden fixings can be protected with waterproof paints and it is far better than the normal paint. In such places where rain and snow is a daily affair, it can protect your walls. Also it is resistant to crayons and markers, but one disadvantage is that if there is any error, it is not possible to wash it off. Many trusted brands of paint companies boast the quality which resist formation algae and other fungal growth.
Interior wall paint is equally important as the exterior. If there are very young children, they tempt to make drawings on the walls. It is advisable to check your circumstances before deciding on a paint combination. It should be easily washable when you have small children at home. Also, the right colour combination of floor, wall, carpets, curtains, sofa set, etc. will make the room gorgeous. Some people in the family may not be happy with dark colors and some of them prefer it. It is not possible to satisfy everybody, but what makes the room look larger, neater and fashionable is important. White or any other light colors will add lighting and dark color make it dull. Also, it is important to note that colors can create health atmosphere and change the mood of humans and animals.
Now there are many other options other than paint the walls. You can use designer wallpapers which can change as you want and it is cheaper than paint.

While 3D is currently generating much debate across a broad range of platforms, the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) has begun a process to try and resolve one of the issues relating to 3DTVs and thereby generate more interest in it.
Currently there is no standard for active 3D glasses with each manufacturer producing their own sets. The CEA is now looking for proposals to standardise 3D active eyewear that uses an infrared synchronized interface. A standard will allow for interoperable 3D glasses among the different 3DTVs out there. Companies who want to make proposals can do so by submitting an online form and they will also be asked to join the 3D Technologies Working Group. Proposals will have to be submitted by March 31 to be considered.
This move will be welcomed by consumers who obviously want one pair of glasses that can be used on all 3D televisions. Active shutter glasses are currently quite expensive (around £100 on average) and this, the CEA believes is among the reasons for the disappointing adoption of 3D technology. Active technology has been tipped to dominate the market in the short term, ahead of passive and glasses-free technology, mainly because of its ability to display full HD 3D. However unless a standard, which has been signed up to by all, is reached we may see its popularity decline.
With some, including the BBC, not yet convinced about the 3D phenomenon, standardisation such as this can only help the industry convince those that remain sceptical.
