NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (6-8) at DALLAS COWBOYS (8-6)
Sportsbook.ag Line & Total: Dallas -2.5 & 51.5
Opening Line & Total: Cowboys -3 (even) & 51.5
Dallas seeks its fourth straight victory to remain atop the jam-packed NFC East division when it hosts New Orleans on Sunday.
The Saints are pretty much playing for pride at this point, while the Cowboys continue to fight for their playoff lives. New Orleans snapped a three-game losing streak in a big way, shutting out the Bucs 41-0 at home last week, but the team is just 2-5 SU and 3-4 ATS on the road this season. Dallas, on the other hand, hasn't exactly had much of a home-field advantage of late. Its overtime win over Pittsburgh last week was its only cover in the past 10 home games, dating back to Thanksgiving 2011. Dallas has won three in row, but by only nine points combined. The Cowboys are giving up 263 passing YPG in their past seven contests, which doesn't bode well against the Saints who throw for 298 YPG. Drew Brees has dominated in his two career trips to Dallas, throwing for 736 yards, 6 TD and 1 INT while leading his team to 72 points and two wins. The Saints are 12-3 ATS in the second half of the past two seasons, and Jason Garrett is 3-11 ATS as a home favorite as the Cowboys head coach. This contest will be close, but Dallas will find a way to lose like it usually does in big games to decent teams.
Cowboys QB Tony Romo has played very well during the three-game win streak, completing 69% of his passes for 912 yards, 6 TD and 1 INT. Although he has thrown for a boatload of yards at home this year (346 YPG), he has also tossed 12 INT and taken 21 sacks in these seven games in Dallas. His top receiver, WR Dez Bryant, had some drops last week due to his fractured finger, but he should be able to secure the football better now that he's gotten used to the splint he needs to wear. Bryant has scored at least one touchdown in six straight games, totaling 584 yards and eight scores during this stretch. Another key Dallas player dealing with an injury is DeMarco Murray (foot). But after two shaky games upon his return to the field (3.1 YPC), Murray ran for 81 yards on 14 carries (5.8 YPC) and added 31 more yards through the air in last week's win over Pittsburgh. The Saints have allowed a league-worst 446 total YPG this year, ranking 31st against the run (146 YPG) and also 31st in passing defense (287 YPG). Dallas has committed 0-to-1 turnovers in six of the past seven games, but New Orleans has 12 takeaways over the past five weeks.
WASHINGTON REDSKINS (8-6) at PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (4-10)
Sportsbook.ag Line & Total: Washington -6.5 & 45
Opening Line & Total: Redskins -5.5 & 44.5
The sizzling Redskins seek their sixth straight victory (SU and ATS) and to remain tied atop the NFC East when they visit struggling division foe Philadelphia on Sunday.
Washington showed it could win without Robert Griffin III last week, crushing the Browns in Cleveland. Griffin (knee) will likely return to action this week, though rookie back-up Kirk Cousins threw for 329 yards with a 104.4 passer rating in last Sunday's victory in Cleveland. The Eagles took a step back in last Thursday's mistake-filled home loss to the Bengals, losing four fumbles and gaining just 221 yards of offense. The extra three days rest might give them a bit of an edge going into this one, but they were positively destroyed in Washington in Week 11, turning it over three times in a 31-6 loss. They could also be helped by the probable returns of RB LeSean McCoy and TE Brent Celek who have both missed time due to concussions. This game was a complete mismatch five weeks ago as the Redskins out-rushed the Eagles 169 to 80 despite Philly winning the time of possession. And things are unlikely to change with the shift in venue, as the Eagles haven't won at Lincoln Financial Field since September, giving up 31.6 PPG during a five-game home losing skid (SU and ATS). The Redskins are 5-2 ATS on the road with 29.0 PPG and 416 total YPG this year, and they are also 9-1 ATS in road games after a dominating performance (34+ min TOP, 24+ first downs) since 1992.
Griffin III was nearly perfect in Week 11 versus the Eagles, completing 14-of-15 passes for 200 yards (13.3 YPA), 4 TD and 0 INT. He has also been unbelievable on the road in his rookie campaign, completing 67% of his passes for 1,588 yards (265 YPG), 10 TD and 3 INT, while rushing for another 286 yards (5.7 YPC) and three scores. But Griffin isn't the only rookie offensive star playing in the nation's capital. RB Alfred Morris ranks third in the NFL with 1,322 rushing yards, averaging 4.7 YPC and scoring nine touchdowns. In his past four contests, he's amassed 453 yards and four scores including two last week. The Philly run defense is subpar (122 YPG, 20th in NFL), allowing more than 100 rushing yards in 10 straight games. Another Washington player coming on strong is WR Pierre Garcon, whose foot problems have cost him the majority of the season. But he's caught 23 passes for 340 yards and 3 TD over his past four games, finding the end zone in each of the three games that Griffin has started. The Eagles are slightly above average in pass defense (220 YPG, 13th in NFL), but have held four of the past six opponents to less than 200 passing yards, including a mere 135 YPG and 4.4 YPA over the past two games. Although Philly forced two Bengals turnovers last week, the team entered that contest with five straight games of zero takeaways. And the Redskins pride themselves on ball protection, committing just four turnovers in the past seven games combined.
With Michael Vick still bothered by concussion symptoms, QB Nick Foles will make his sixth straight start on Sunday. He started off December throwing the football quite well with 632 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT in two games, but Foles was off the mark last week versus Cincinnati, completing only 16-of-33 passes for 180 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT. Although the Redskins possess the third-worst passing defense in the NFL (285 YPG), Foles struggled mightily against them in Week 11 -- his first career start -- when he completed just 21-of-46 throws for 204 yards (4.4 YPA), 0 TD and 2 INT. One player that performed admirably that day was LeSean McCoy, who had 112 total yards before suffering a concussion in fourth-quarter garbage time. In six career games in this series, McCoy has 687 total yards (115 YPG) with 2 TD. McCoy's return couldn't come at a better time, as his fill-in, RB Bryce Brown, has been horrible in the past two games with just 40 yards on 28 carries (1.4 YPC). The Redskins rank sixth in the NFL in run defense (96 YPG), holding nine of their 14 opponents to less than 95 yards on the ground. Washington's defense also has 10 multi-turnover games in 2012, which is not good news for a careless Philadelphia offense that is tied with Kansas City for the most giveaways in the NFL this year with 34.
NEW YORK GIANTS (8-6) at BALTIMORE RAVENS (9-5)
Sportsbook.ag Line & Total: Giants & 47
Opening Line & Total: Pick 'em & 47.5
Two struggling teams that are still hoping to capture their respective division titles meet on Sunday when the Baltimore hosts the New York Giants.
The Ravens are in complete disarray right now. They've lost three in a row, SU and ATS, and they seemed to press the panic button in firing offensive coordinator Cam Cameron prior to last week. Things weren't any better under new OC Jim Caldwell last Sunday, as they couldn't move the ball until garbage time in a 34-17 home loss to the Broncos. The potential return of LB Ray Lewis (triceps) could give them a needed boost defensively. The Giants are coming off an absolute dud of their own, getting shut out 34-0 in Atlanta. They've been awful on the road, getting outscored 82-29 over their past three road games, all SU and ATS defeats. Baltimore is a dismal 2-5 ATS at home this year, allowing 23.6 PPG and 385 total YPG to visiting teams, while New York is giving up just 19.3 PPG and 362 total YPG on the road this year where it is still 3-3-1 ATS despite the recent slump. The Ravens are 3-8-1 ATS in their past 12 games and are also 0-6 ATS at home when coming off a loss since the start of the 2010 season. The Giants, meanwhile, are 25-13 ATS (66%) on the road under Tom Coughlin when playing against a team with a winning record.
Eli Manning continues to flounder on the road this season with a 77.3 passer rating (6.9 YPA, 5 TD, 6 INT), including last week's 38.9 rating (13-of-25, 161 yds, 0 TD, 2 INT). However Manning expects to have a heavy workload on Sunday, as the Ravens pass defense ranks 22nd in the NFL with 242 passing YPG allowed. Manning will once again rely on top receivers Victor Cruz (79 rec, 1,019 yds, 9 TD) and Hakeem Nicks (692 rec. yds), but last week it was Domenik Hixon who led the team with 80 receiving yards on five catches. New York's running game is not in great shape with top RB Ahmad Bradshaw (knee) as a game-time decision. And the Ravens porous run defense (132 YPG allowed, 26th in NFL) will certainly improve if Ray Lewis returns to action, like he is expected to do. However, Giants rookie RB David Wilson has been outstanding in the past two weeks, rushing for 155 yards and 2 TD on just 25 carries (6.2 YPC).
Like Manning, Ravens QB Joe Flacco has also had much better success on his home turf (96.8 rating, 13 TD, 5 INT) than on the road (75.3 rating, 7 TD, 5 INT). However, his past two home games (both losses) have been shaky, as he's completed just 48.6% of his passes for 6.0 YPA, 3 TD and 2 INT. He expects to look much sharper against a generous Giants pass defense allowing 254 YPG (5th-most in NFL). Flacco will also likely have the services of top WR Torrey Smith (concussion) who returned to practice Thursday and expects to suit up on Sunday. But per usual, this Baltimore offense revolves around RB Ray Rice who has rushed for 1,031 yards (4.5 YPC) and 9 TD. However, Rice has just one 100-yard game in the past nine contests and he was bottled up versus Denver last week with just 38 yards on 12 carries (3.2 YPC). He should be able to have some success on Sunday though, as the Giants rank 22nd in rushing defense at 124 YPG.
CINCINNATI BENGALS (8-6) at PITTSBURGH STEELERS (7-7)
Sportsbook.ag Line & Total: Pittsburgh -3.5 (even) & 42
Opening Line & Total: Steelers -4.5 & 43.5
Cincinnati tries to keep its playoff hopes alive Sunday when it visits a place it hasn't won very often, Heinz Field in Pittsburgh.
This one is pretty close to a playoff game, as these two teams battle for a wild card spot. The Steelers have absolutely owned the Bengals over the past three seasons, beating them five straight times, SU and ATS by 12.8 PPG on average. They won in Cincinnati in Week 7, 24-17, in a game that wasn't nearly as close as the final score would indicate. The Steelers outgained Cincy 431-185, and completely shut down the Bengals by simply doubling WR A.J. Green, who finished with one catch for eight yards. Though Pittsburgh's injury-ravaged secondary could open the door a little bit more for QB Andy Dalton, he has a 48.8% completion percentage in three career games against the Steelers. Despite the series history, these teams are trending in opposite directions. The Bengals are 5-1 (SU and ATS) in their past six games both overall and on the road, while the Steelers are 1-4 SU (1-3-1 ATS) in their past five games. Cincy is also 7-0 ATS on the road following an ATS win over the past two seasons, while Pittsburgh is 7-16 ATS (30%) in all games played on a grass field during this same time frame.
Cincinnati has moved to just one game back of Baltimore for the division lead after winning five of its past six contests. The Bengals crushed the Eagles 34-13 in Philadelphia last Thursday, making them 5-1 (SU and ATS) in the past six road tilts. QB Andy Dalton has not been strong in his career versus the Steelers with a paltry 410 passing yards (137 YPG), 5.0 YPA, 4 TD and 3 INT in three games against them. Although Pittsburgh has some key injuries in the secondary, this is still the NFL's top defense in terms of total yardage (274 YPG), ranking 4th against the run (93 YPG) and first in passing defense (181 YPG). Although A.J. Green couldn't get open last game, the Steelers won't have CB Ike Taylor (ankle) this time, and could also be without CBs Keenan Lewis and Cortez Allen, who are both questionable with hip injuries. Cincy will try to establish the run with RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis who has 543 rushing yards (5.1 YPC) over his past five games. Cincinnati has been a bit sloppy recently with six turnovers in the past three games and 11 sacks taken in just the past two games.
The Steelers have committed 18 turnovers during their current 1-4 SU (1-3-1 ATS) slump, some of which have been caused by their quarterbacks taking a dozen sacks during this stretch. Pittsburgh will rely on the arm of QB Ben Roethlisberger, who has been up-and-down in his career in this series, posting a 13-4 record, but throwing for a pedestrian 21 TD and 16 INT in 17 regular season starts versus the Bengals. He did throw for 285 yards in the Week 7 win though, and he will need to be on top of his game again considering how bad the Steelers have been rushing the football recently. In the past four games, they have a pathetic 71 rushing YPG on 3.5 YPC. The Bengals have a great defense, especially recently where they have 15 takeaways and 20 sacks over the past six games. For the season, Cincinnati ranks 9th in rushing defense (101 YPG) and 12th in passing defense.
SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (10-3-1) at SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (9-5)
Sportsbook.ag Line & Total: San Francisco -1 & 39
Opening Line & Total: 49ers Seattle -1 & 40.5
The top two teams in the NFC West will close out Week 16 when San Francisco looks to retain its dominance over Seattle on Sunday night.
The Niners have won four straight meetings SU, but the Seahawks have covered in each of the past two matchups. When the teams met in San Francisco in Week 7, the 49ers smothered Russell Wilson in a 13-6 victory, as the rookie went 9-for-23 for 122 yards and an interception. Alex Smith was still under center for San Francisco at that point, but new starter Colin Kaepernick has added a new dimension to their offense. The team is 4-1 SU and ATS with Kaepernick under center, including last week's impressive win at New England when he threw 4 TD passes. The Seahawks are also surging too, scoring 131 points (43.7 PPG) during a three-game win streak with back-to-back 50-point outbursts. This game features the top-two scoring defenses in the NFL, each allowing 15.6 PPG. Although it's been a while since Seattle won in this series, this team has been perfect at home, going 6-0 (SU and ATS) and outscoring these visitors by a whopping 18.7 PPG margin (30.2 to 11.5). And although the Niners were able to capitalize on New England's mistakes (4 turnovers) last week, they still let the Patriots erase a 28-point deficit and rack up 520 yards of total offense. That's not a good thing when facing a team that became the first NFL team in 62 years to score 50+ points in two straight games. The Seahawks are 8-1 ATS when facing a winning team in the past two seasons, and 11-3 ATS when revenging a loss against an opponent in the past three seasons.
Kaepernick has a 104.6 QB rating in his five starts, throwing for 1,088 yards (8.5 YPA), 7 TD and 2 INT while running for another 202 yards and two scores. He could have a tough time repeating these impressive numbers though, as Seattle ranks third in the NFL in total defense (304 total YPG), able to defend both the pass (198 YPG, 3rd in NFL) and run (106 YPG, 10th in league). Although Kaepernick has never faced Seattle's defense in his career, he's sure to get plenty of notes from RB Frank Gore who has played 13 times against the Seahawks, totaling 1,632 yards from scrimmage (126 YPG) and 5.4 yards per carry. In the Week 7 matchup, Gore ran for 131 yards on just 16 attempts (8.2 YPC), while adding five receptions for 51 yards. The Niners don't turn the ball over much, with 10 games of 0-or-1 giveaways this year. But the Seahawks have a slew of playmakers, forcing 17 turnovers in the past six games (5-1 SU) including 11 in just the past two weeks. However, the secondary is a mess, as they could be missing top CB Richard Sherman, who is waiting on his appeal of a four-game suspension for PEDs, the same reason CB Brandon Browner will not play on Sunday night. Two other CBs are also questionable with hamstring injuries -- Walter Thurmond and Marcus Trufant.
Seattle rookie QB Russell Wilson had a tough night in San Francisco in Week 7, but he has been outstanding ever since that game. In the past seven contests, Wilson has a 111.3 passer rating, completing 66% of his throws for 1,467 yards (8.2 YPA), 13 TD and 2 INT. He has also rumbled for 283 yards on 6.6 YPC during this stretch, rushing for 3 TD in last week's 50-17 trouncing of the Bills in Toronto. Seattle has an NFC-best 33.4 PPG during these seven games. RB Marshawn Lynch has also been running very well lately with six 100-yard outputs in his past eight games, totaling 830 yards (5.8 YPC) and 8 TD. In five career meetings with San Francisco, Lynch has rushed for 406 yards on 5.1 YPC, including back-to-back 100-yard efforts. In the Week 7 visit to San Francisco, Lynch rushed for 103 yards on 19 carries (5.4 YPG). But the Niners are not an easy team to gain yardage against, as they rank 2nd in the NFL in total defense (293 YPG), allowing just 202 passing YPG (5th in league) and 91 rushing YPG (3rd in NFL). However, star DL Justin Smith (elbow) is doubtful to play in this game after injuring himself last week.

Hercules GS414B Guitar Stand
Next day delivery... Can't fault that.. The stand itself is a lot better than I expected for the price. It's a lot more robust than I thought it was going to be.
I'm not gigging at the moment but when I do I'd have no problem taking this along with me to safely hold my guitar when not in use.
Not sure what the other models of this stand offer but this one comfortably holds my three guitars :- Ibanez 350dx, Hamer SXQT(very heavy) and my yamaha pacifica. I'd concider getting another one just becuase they look cool.

Rusman Gunawan, the brother of militant suspect Hambali, was given a four year jail term by a Jakarta court.
Judge Adullah Sidiq said Gunawan had sent US$30,000 to a militant group in Indonesia from his base in Pakistan.
He said some of the money was used to fund the 2003 J W Marriott hotel bombing in Jakarta.
Twelve people died in the attack, including a suicide bomber.
"The defendant has been found guilty of helping others to acts of terrorism, and therefore we sentence him to four years in jail," said Mr Sidiq.
Gunawan, 27, told the court he was innocent. He has yet to announce whether he will appeal the verdict.
He was arrested in Pakistan in 2003, along with four other students, and deported to Indonesia.
Gunawan's older brother Hambali, whose real name is Riduan Isamuddin, was arrested in Thailand last year, and is now being held in US custody in an undisclosed location.
Hambali is alleged to be a senior leader of the regional militant group Jemaah Islamiah (JI).
JI is blamed for a string of attacks across South East Asia, including the bombing of two Bali nightclubs in October 2002, the Marriott attack in August 2003 and an explosion last month at Jakarta's Australian Embassy.

Laws, Regulations & Annotations
Property Taxes Law Guide – Revision 2017
Revenue and Taxation Code
Property Taxation
Part 4. Levy of Tax
CHAPTER 2. Effect of Tax
Section 2193
2193. Effect of lien. Every lien created by this division has the effect of an execution duly levied against the property subject to the lien.
Priority.—The lien created by this section is paramount to previously created contract liens. California Loan & Trust Co. v. Weis, 118 Cal. 489. Although the court declared that a tax lien does not have priority over other liens unless the legislative enactment creating the lien has given it priority, the legislative intent to confer such priority was found to be disclosed by statutory provisions, now found in Section 2194 and in Section 3520, that the lien remains until the taxes are paid or the property is sold for the payment thereof and that the little conveyed by the tax deed is free of encumbrances. However, in Jefferson Standard Life Ins. Co. v. United States, 247 F.2d 777, the court found no California legislative enactment which gave a county tax lien on a bankrupt's real estate priority over a pre-existing mortgage.

Some Problematics in International Collaboration in Mathematics Education
Atweh, Bill & Clarkson, Philip (2002) Some Problematics in International Collaboration in Mathematics Education. In Barton, B., Irwin, K., & Pfannkuch, M. (Eds.) Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, July 2002, Auckland New Zealand.
|PDF (132kB)
This paper discusses data from interviews with mathematics educators from Australasia and Colombia on their views of, experiences in and expectations from the internationalisation and globalisation of their discipline. International collaboration is essential for moving the discipline forward in a globalised world and avoiding the colonialism of the past - and allowing the discipline to play its role in bridging the increasing gap between developing and developed countries. The aim of this analysis is to examine some problematical aspects of this collaboration between countries of unequal "power" and resources.

Red Raspberry Leaf Tea for Fertility
[B]I had a miscarriage in November, after working through that we've decided to try again. I read that Red Raspberry Leaf Tea will help boost fertility so that we can conceive quicker, I also read that once pregnant if you drink it daily, it will prevent miscarriage and support a healthy pregnancy? Does anyone know this to be true regarding Raspberry Leaf?

Hello Kayla86,
Welcome to the Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond forum. I'm so very sorry that you experienced a miscarriage.
It is not recommended to consume Raspberry Leaf before you are 32 weeks pregnant. Please have a look at this article for more detailed information on Raspberry Leaf. It is thought that it can strengthen uterine contractions and this is why women take it to prepare for labour. There is some concern that taking it earlier in pregnancy could cause a miscarriage. I'm not aware of research that it could prevent miscarriage?
With the majority of miscarriages, there is nothing you could have done to change it. In most cases there is sadly a problem with the DNA of the baby. The majority of women who have one miscarriage will go on to have a healthy pregnancy next time.
Thinking of you,

Pixie Geldof was hailed today as "Kate Moss-in-waiting" as she graced the cover of Elle magazine for the first time.
The model daughter of musician Bob Geldof sports bright orange on the front of the magazine's August edition with a 10-page shoot inside.
Editor-in-Chief of Elle UK, Lorraine Candy, said: "I think this smart 22-year-old is the face of a new generation – she is the woman whose playful attitude is giving London a fresh spirit.
"When I look at pictures of Pixie, I see a Kate Moss-in-waiting. She's spirited and strong, a role model in the making. I predict big things for her.'
Pixie herself, though, is surprised at how grown-up she looks. She said in an interview with the magazine: "When I saw myself at the Met Ball I did think, my god, a grown-up! I was embarrassed by how womanly I looked.
"I find it hard to take myself seriously – and if I was in a magazine posing in a sexy way, my friends wouldn't let me hear the end of it."
Pixie - the leader singer of band Violet - describes her style as "funky offish". She said: "Something a bit official, but also funky – like how people say smart casual."
And she claimed her drummer boyfriend George Barnett was "the one".
She said: "We went to karaoke and he sang Backstreet Boys. I was like, you're the one for me!
"That was about three years ago. He's wonderful. He's the best. I wasn't interested in boyfriends, I had [my best friend] Ashley, she was like my boyfriend, but he's so great."
She also spoke about the death of her mother from an accidental heroin overdose on Pixie's 10th birthday.
She said: "Our mother's death was a terrible thing to happen to four young girls. We're not ashamed of it, but everyone's fine. It happened more than half my lifetime ago."
She praised her father for his support, saying: "Our family has been through... stuff. Like everyone's. But we've come out of it in a good way – that strength of character is testimony to him."
Pixie Geldof's full photo shoot and interview is in the August issue of ELLEReuse content

SCT Xcal3 is a pain in the arse with the SVT Focus
Today, a nice warm Sunday afternoon I decided to swap in a 180 stat now that it's warmer outside. So I adjusted the fans in my Xcal3 to come on earlier (188 low/ 196 high fan). Now when I originally loaded the tune last year it took about an hour and half cause it kept failing then failing to return to stock. So this time here I am for 3 hours now uploading, reloading, again, again! This is stupid I need this car for work tomorrow. SCT needs to figure this shit out.
Sent from me
Update - I searched and saw Tom said to try and pull fuse 46,and 61. Well holy f-in crap. Finally worked! Thank you Tom!
Sent from me
Yes that helps in a lot of cases when the SVT fails to load but allows the stock tune to load after the custom fails
Those fan settings are a little low , I would try 194 low and 203 high , you want the engine to run in the 190 range
Sent from me
Best performance is going to be in the 184 to 192 range , with the 192/196 thurmostat you would see as high as 230 deg sitting and 196 to 205 at cruise
The car today (75 degree day) ran between 180-189. Average was 185. I believe that this is optimal for a performance car. I'm not going to mess with the crap SCT handheld for 3 hours just to change the fans 4 degrees.
I really wish I would have bought a tuned Predator from Tom instead of the Xcal3 that doesn't work well with the FSVT.
Sent from me
Most are going to have to go to the live wire to tune the SVT , we are testing it now and it has worked flawless on 2 SVT so far
If you pull 46/61 and DO NOT ever update you should be fine loading tunes with your xcal

Rain, rain, rain...
We went to the lake over Easter weekend. What a
rainy, stormy weekend it was. All I wanted to do was
get out and take some pictures, but all it did was
rain. I finally caught a break Saturday for a little
while and again on Sunday.
First catch of the weekend...and he wasn't happy
about it!
This is typically a "dry" run off...not this
More to come...

It's been a crazy week trying to paint a few rooms for
someone and also trying to move, so I've not had time to
really think about the events of last Sunday. I dropped
the kids and daddy off to go float the river on a beautiful
day for a few hours, not thinking about anything but a few
peaceful hours to myself. I had a disagreement with the
oldest about wearing a life jacket. WEARING it and keeping
it ZIPPED/SNAPPED, not just "having it on." Daddy had been
on the river the day before and it was running high due to
all the rain we've gotten lately. So there really was no
arguement...you either do it or you don't go. So there was
a little "sulking", but nothing major.
20 minutes after getting home (about 45 minutes after
dropping them), I get a phone call from a number I don't
reconize. "Come get us at Dement Bridge" and he hangs up!
#1 Dement Bridge is NOT where they are supposed to be!
#2 Something happened...BUT he was (somewhat) calm...
I.was.not! Not calling on his cellphone means IT got wet
and if it got wet, they all (probably) got wet. And as
warm as it was out, the water was still incredibly cold!
Arriving at the bridge I HOPED was the right one, there
they were, all 3, safe and sound. A little wet, but safe.
Turns out they got hung up on a tree in some rapids and
it overturned their boat. Daddy knew there were a couple
guys behind them by a few minutes, so he tried to hang
on, but the boat was too heavy and the current too
strong, so he told both boys they were going to have to
let go. Hunter (10) let go first. And I know there's
nothing more terrifying than seeing your baby have to
let go in a strong river. Maison (13) says "Don't
worry Dad, I'll go get him"...and promptly lets go!
It still brings tears to my eyes. They were able to
get to a tree and the guys coming behind them finally
caught up to them and took them into their boat, until
they caught up with their boat, and made their way
out at Dement bridge.
It really made all of our problems seem like little
specks on a map...as without those 3 guys, life means
nothing. I could not be more proud of them. They stayed
calm and did not panic. I know the the boys learned an
invaluble life lesson that day...life jackets SAVE lives.
I don't think they'll every forget that!
I took this picture the day before...it means more now.
Amended: Something that was left out of the story when
it was told to me...the guys that pulled them out were named
"Champion"...and our school mascots are the "Champions"...we
will never move from this area until after the kids are out
of school. Some "signs" you take quite literally! Thank you

It's raining again. We were spoiled. Period. Spring
started for us back at the beginging of March...and I
knew it wouldn't last. Well, it did for 3 weeks...and
then came spring break. And there was nothing SPRINGY
about it. For the last week it's been cold and rainy.
Of course. But I think we're finally over it. I hope!

Why did you block my comment? What's wrong with "IQ is so bad it must be North Korean edition...Cuban edition would make you happy? How about IQ is so bad they sent back from Korea back to Nikon...
Because I was a little suspicious of the number of comments you'd left in one fell swoop, and the North Korean comment in particular is not really appropriate. I may be light-hearted but it is ultimately racist and doesn't add anything worthwhile to the 'discussion'.
I was so disappointed with pictures IQ I wrote what I wrote. I am the last person on this planet who would be a racist...that's all. Hope you understand.
Fair enough. One day we'll get a good comments system that means such issues shouldn't be a problem in the future.
I bought this camera a few days before.But i m very much disappointed with the Quality of Image.may better to buy any other camera other than this model.
this is a pos. had it for 2 years & crap from day one. Will not buy a nikon, regardless of reviews, ever, as a protest.
I had this for 3 weeks. I have no idea what quality the pictures are since I didn't get to make any... After 3 weeks sitting in the box I tried to charge the battery and was DEAD. My first and last Nikon ;)
This model is having a problem of recharging battery once it is completely dried out.
i want buy second hand, how can i know when brought this one?

Dundee Photographics/freedigitalphotos.net
A private K-12 tutoring service announced yesterday that they've fired a law firm that threatened to sue an online magazine over a reader comment left on the magazine's website.
David Silver, spokeman for Academic Advantage, said the comments published by pop culture site Boing Boing were not libelous, and the LA firm representing the company was wrong to say they were.
Started in 1988, Boing Boing is popular for its off-beat, insightful writings on culture, technology and politics. Academic Advantage is a K-12 tutoring service started in 2000. The company's website features a ringing endorsement from former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The retraction comes amid outrage over a letter sent to the magazine by Academic Advantage's attorney, Jubin Niamehr, of the firm Lazar, Akiva & Yagoubzadeh. The letter, dated Jan. 13 and made public earlier this week, demanded that Boing Boing take down a July 2009 blog post written by Cory Doctorow.
Doctorow's article, Autism as an academic advantage, cited examples in which autistic students excelled in college settings. The word "scam" comes up in the comment section, where a poster wrote:
"Went to college expecting it to be the place of knowledge, an all encompassing and way to get information instantly. I quickly found its a scam..."
Yet, Niamehr's letter said the article had possibly irrevocably damaged the company Academic Advantage by linking the words "Academic" and "Advantage" to the word "scam."
Niamehr wrote:
It is clear there is no purpose to this web address but to falsely accuse the Academic Advantage of being a scam or at least associating the Academic Advantage with a scam. There is absolutely no helpful reason for the website to have the words 'Academic,' 'Advantage' and 'Scam' which leads me to believe it was created for malicious purposes.
Peter Scheer, executive director of California's First Amendment Coalition, called Niamehr's letter bizarre. Under the law, if a untrue or damaging comment is posted on a website, the only legally responsible party is the posting person and not the publishing website, Scheer said.
"This case is extraordinary because they're complaining about something that wasn't said," Scheer said. "It's hard to say whether a law firm could get it more wrong."
Boing Boing was circumspect when asked to comment about the matter. But Monday, Doctorow revealed the controversy with a blog titled "Stupid legal threat of the young century."
"Everything we have to say on the matter right now was in Cory's post," said editor David Pescovitz.
Silver emailed California Watch the following statement:
Academic Advantage has severed it relationship with the law firm of Lazar, Akiva & Yagoubzadeh. The letter that the law firm sent to BoingBoing claiming that libel was committed on BoingBoing's website was a mistake.
Niamehr did not respond to California Watch's request for comment.

Vintage Pink Floyd Records
When Pink Floyd fans talk about their favorite band, invariably the discussion descends into a recitation of the group's chronology. There's the original Syd Barrett version of the quartet in the 1960s; the early David Gilmour years (1968-1972); the commercial successes of the 1970s beginning with "Dark Side of the Moon" (1973) and ending with "The Wall" (1979); and the lawsuit decade of the 1980s, when estranged bassist Roger Waters unsuccessfully tried to prevent his former bandmates from touring or releasing records as Pink Floyd.
From the vantage point of the 21st century, the Syd Barrett era is easily most infamous. By all accounts, the late Barrett (he passed away in 2006) was a brilliant but troubled artist, consuming brain-melting quantities of psychedelic drugs that inspired him to artistic heights in the beginning but quickly took their toll. Collectors look for the Columbia (EMI) 45 rpm mono recordings of "Arnold Layne," the Floyd's first single, which began to climb the charts in 1967 until its transvestite content caught the ear of radio programmers, who removed it from their station's playlists.
The band's first LP, "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn," 1967, was also the last Pink Floyd album produced with Barrett as the band's leader. It was recorded at EMI's Abbey Road Studios in London at the same time as "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" by the Beatles. Collectors prefer mono LPs over the stereo remasters, and look for copies on the Tower label, which were distributed in the United States. Memorable tracks from the album include the chant-like "Astronomy Dominé" and an instrumental called "Intersteller Overdrive," which was a major part of live Pink Floyd shows for years.
"A Saucerful of Secrets" came next in 1968 and is notable for the presence in the studio of both Barrett and Gilmour. But the album is perhaps best known for a Waters track called "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun," as well as its psychedelic album cover by Hipgnosis, which created numerous Pink Floyd covers, as well as ones for Led Zeppelin and prog-rockers Emerson, Lake & Palmer.
After releasing the brilliant "Meddle" in 1971 (all 23 minutes and 27 seconds of side two are devoted to a song called "Echoes") and a soundtrack for a Barbet Schroeder film in 1972 (the movie was called "La Vallée" but the album was called "Obscured By Clouds"), Pink Floyd produced its first certifiable classic in 1973, "Dark Side of the Moon." The album included stickers and posters, so collectors today pay a small premium for copies with those bits of ephemera intact.
Subsequent Pink Floyd albums sold in such numbers that their supply has always been plentiful, making them relatively easy, and inexpensive, to collect. Exceptions to this general rule include Japanese issues of "Dark Side" and "The Wall," as well as picture discs of "Rare Beauties" and "Wish You Were Here."

Kuhn Rikon Watermelon Knife
I usually use a big, sharp chefs knife to cut juicy slices of watermelon when it comes into season. They tend to be my sharpest knives and, while occasionally it does take a moment to get purchase on the slick melon rind, they do a good job of slicing in the end. I certainly didn't need to add a knife specifically for cutting watermelon to ... Read More »
A bit about watermelons, storage and serving
Watermelons are a great summertime treat and are usually in season from June through September. The season can be a bit longer on either side of that spectrum depending on weather and growing conditions. I happened to have some excellent watermelon just this morning – the first of the year for me – and wanted to take a moment to share a couple of reminders ... Read More »
Watermelon Gazpacho
Tomato gazpacho is a fantastic summer soup, but you can actually use many other fruits and vegetables to make gazpacho. Watermelon is a fantastic example. It is so juicy, it's halfway to becoming a soup (or a smoothie) as soon as you cut into it, and it's refreshing sweetness is a great background for other flavors. If you're ready to experiment with gazpacho variations, my ... Read More »

Gearing Up for a Career Change
Richard Reyes was miserable. For 25 years, he'd worked for Detroit's housing authority, and the constant stress of the job had finally worn him down. It didn't help that new management had been brought in, and Reyes didn't mesh with the new regime.
That got him thinking about what he wanted to do with his life. Rather than wait five more years and retire with a full pension, Reyes took a $250,000 payout and a three-quarters pension and quit his job. He'd always wanted to be a writer and an academic. At the age of 53, he says, "I was running out of time."
Changing careers is surely not what Timothy Leary had in mind when he urged baby boomers 40 years ago to "turn on, tune in, drop out." Yet anecdotal evidence suggests that many are seeking fulfillment by doing just that at a time when the so-called sensible thing would be to put the finishing touches on their current job, maximize their retirement savings, and get ready for the golf course.
Making an Informed Decision
When the transition is managed correctly, many years of fulfilling work lie ahead. But without proper planning, your late-career switcheroo can blow up your finances, put you in competition with much younger people for jobs, and ultimately upend your life with little time to recover. It's a high-risk/high-reward decision, and it's never too soon to start thinking ahead. "Most people spend less time on life decisions than they do planning a vacation," says James Burns, president of J.J. Burns & Co. in Melville, N.Y.
How do you stack the odds in your favor? Financial planners recommend getting some experience first. Burns warns possible career-changers not to let dissatisfaction with their current situation lead to a decision they'll later regret. It's very easy to let your imagination run wild, morphing any change into a utopia. Then reality sets in: You're making less money and fulfillment still seems miles away.
Often, "the old job you had really wasn't a bad job," Burns says. He recommends learning as much as possible about a new vocation before making a change: speak with experts, volunteer, even try to do the work on weekends or late at night. That way, when you make the switch, you'll know it's the switch you want to make.
Budgeting for a Transition
Then comes the hard part: the finances. First you need to figure out how much money you have and set a budget. Reyes burned through a lot of his money during the first two years off the job by buying a new car and taking vacations. "Maybe I would have tried to hold on to more of that," he says.
Starting a new career is never cheap, and sticking to a budget will keep spending in line. "Think about how much money you need to support the lifestyle you want to live," says Dean Barber, president of Barber Financial Group in Lenexa, Kan. But you need to be realistic about what you have to spend. Cut down on your expenses, pay off your debt, eliminate anything in your budget that's not needed. Don't forget to include high-cost items that used to be provided by your employer, including health, life, and disability insurance. Some advisers recommend creating an emergency fund with two years' worth of cash just in case everything goes wrong.
You should also rebalance your investment accounts to better reflect your new situation. A portfolio full of growth stocks may still be appropriate if you're hitting the homestretch of your career, but if you're starting over, your holdings should reflect your new situation. Mike Benoit, a managing director at DiMeo Schneider & Associates, in Chicago, moves his clients into more conservative investments. He recommends diversifying asset classes, including various types of bonds and equity, real estate, and even more obscure investments such as timber. Others recommend using puts or short funds to hedge equity positions.
Whatever the strategy, realize that you don't have the financial safety net of your former job. You have less time to wait for a market comeback when you're in your 50s. "Anyone can handle the upside to the market," Benoit says. "We want to know the impact if you have a down market."
Maintaining Your Network
Of course, there's more than monetary risk involved. If you leave a job in your 50s it will be very hard to get back in again if your career change doesn't pan out. "Now you're in your 50s and trying to compete with people in their 30s and 40s," financial planner Nick Massey of the Householder Group says. He recommends keeping your network intact, just in case. Burns advises making your departure a feel-good experience for everyone involved, even if you were miserable. Let people know how great it was working with them, tell your boss how much you learned from him. They'll remember you fondly and, perhaps those positive impressions will help ease your way back in, should it become necessary.
Reyes, now 62, kept in touch with his co-workers for his first year off the job. But he soon realized there would be no turning back. He took some creative writing classes at a community college, and that turned into a job tutoring other students. From there, he applied to Wayne State University's PhD program in English Literature. He's now working on his dissertation on early American Romantic authors—think Hawthorne and Melville—and teaching classes. He expects to finish his doctorate in two years.
How did it work out for Reyes? He says he didn't do everything right, but he ultimately made the correct decision. "The teaching job has frustrations but I don't feel burned out," Reyes says. "I feel fresh and energized now."

Explanation of cavitaion for the "Shade Tree" mechanic.
I purchased my #23620 and used it on a 3/4" inlet tube by welding it. Since I purchase it from Jegs, I assumed Summit had it also. Summit usually has everything Jegs has, only a little cheaper.
CAViTAION - Quote Mike Osterhaus of Melling oil pumps, Jackson MI:
"Cavitation typically occurs with a SB Chevy oil pump about 4,500 RPM, causing the pump's output to flatline regardless of how much faster the engine revs. This can cause a dangerous drop in oil pressure just when the engine needs more oil, not less. Stock oil pumps are made for engines that spend most of their time below 3,000 RPM. They have problems with cavitaton and oil pressure loss at high RPM."
"Cavitation is a function of inlet design of an oil pump. The point at which cavitation occurs depends on the pump speed and the size of the inlet tube." says Osterhaus. "Up until the early 1990s, Chevrolet used a 5/8" pickup tube on it's V8 engines. In 1993, Chevy changed to a larger 3/4" inlet tube that flows better with reduced cavitation. We still make the M55 oil pump for the older applications, but recommend the newer M155 pump with the 3/4" inlet as a retrofit for better flow."
I used a copper gasket between the block and the Melling Select 10552 oil pump to better mate the machined surfaces when using a high volume or high pressure oil pump. Melling pickup assemblies use a inlet tube which is cut at an oblique angle inside the screen which also reduces cavitation up to 8,000 RPM.
A high volume oil pump is not required if the engine clearances are stock. However, if you have a remote oil filter and oil cooler, a high volume pump should be considered.
I dont like to disagree with an engineer, but I have built and raced hundreds of SBC with stock and high volume pumps, some running up to 8500RPM, with no issues with oil pressure dropping or oil starvation.
thank you for the answers guys.
I guess that try the pressure with a mechanical gauge is important then i'm tempted to try the oil pump mods to prevent cavitation, i have a new pump on the shelf so let's try.
i have brazed the pick up so there's no way to suck air from that and yes, the plug in the oil pump cover is ok, i remember to have seen it when i had to take out the spring before the brazing.
Bogie was talking about something wrong on the distributor, well i've made the groove on it to help lubrication on the gear... any suggestion?
About high volume or high pressure pumps? No way, i'm sorry but i don't want to trash distr. and cam on a stock clearances engine.
Sorry, I do not see any documented evidence. What I do see is an anecdote from a person who makes a product to replace a stock component. Hardly un-biased. Millions of small block chevys have run over 3000 RPM with no cavitation.
Again, one more time, slap a high volume pump in like the one GM put in their STOCK engines with NO problems despite the engines being built with STOCK clearances.
HV pump... not
FYI.. GM never equipped SB Chevrolet engines with a HV oil pump until 1993. From 1962 until it was discontinued, if you wanted a HV pump for your SB Chevy engine, you had to install a 409 Chevy oil pump. Finally in 1993, SB Chevy V8 and V6 oil pumps were redesigned for a 3/4" inlet tube but that did not make it a HV pump. For a passenger car that is driven below 3,000 RPM most of the time so not being a HV oil pump does not present a problem. An aftermarket HV pump with longer spur gears will not fit inside a stock oil pan because a SB Chevy pick up assembly will hit the botom of a stock SB Chevy oil pan.
In 1993, GM equipped their stock volume SB Chevy oil pumps with a 3/4" inlet tube in order to reduce cavitation and for no other reason. That is because the Melling engineers informed GM that above 4,000 RPM, the oil pump spur gears will cavitate the oil when using a 5/8" inlet tube. At high RPM, the spur gears was pulling oil through a inlet tube that was too small to fill the cavities between the gears. That condition causes the spur gears to cavitate (foam) the oil. The size of the inlet tube is the only difference between the early GM / Melling M55 oil pump and late GM / Melling M155 oil pump. Both pumps are rated at standard volume but the latter oil pump with the 3/4" inlet does not cavitate the oil as bad.

Actually, the oil pump that GM put in the DZ 302 was a standard pump fitted with a "pink" sprine making it a high pressure pump. Many sites have it listed as either a high volume or high pressure pump. THE POINT OF THIS is, you can run a non-stock pump in an engine with stock clearances just like the factory did. I'm done, I've been running a high volume oil pump in my 350 for 25 years now with no problems. Just like thousands of other rodders.
Imformation for the SB V8 engines
As I mentioned before, I used a Melling Select 10552 (+10%) HV / std. pressure oil pump in my S10 4x4 with a stock 9-1/4" deep pan. That oil pump has the option of a bolt on pick up or pressed in pick up. I had to use a stock 3/4" pressed in pickup by shortening it by 1/2" in order to fit the stock Chevy V6 4x4 oil pan with 1/2" bottom clearance.
My machinst and I discussed fitting the HV oil pump in a Chevy V8 engine last night and he said the Melling Select 10552 (+10%) HV/std. pressure oil pump can use a optional Melling 12559 bolt on pick up and it will fit in a stock SB Chevy V8 oil pan. Melling apparently recognized the problem fitting their HV pumps in a stock SB Chevy oil pans and they made a shorter bolt on pickup that will fit correctly in a stock SB Chevy V8 oil pan. IMO, the bolt on pickups can still break at the 2-bolt flange and fall off. That is because the Melling bolt on pickups do not press into the pump housing. I don't trust a bolt on pickup and would never use one on a SB Chevy V8 engine unless it was welded to the 2-bolt flange more solidly than they appear to be. The Melling pickup flange to pump mounting requires a special gasket and that is a source of a leak or failure.
However, IMO, a Melling +25% higher volume Melling Select oil pump should never be used with a stock volume oil pan. The Melling (+25%) HV oil pumps are considered racing oil pumps for engines with wider bearing clearances. A standard volume oil pump and a stock volume oil pan should never be used for racing even though some claim to be able to get away with it.

pan volume
I never said a HV pump can "suck a pan dry" although it is possible.
The theory is that at a sustained engine speed above 4500 RPM, the engine has about 3-1/2 quarts flowing through it. If your oil pan only has 4-1/2 quarts to begin with, the remaining quart of oil in the oil pan becomes critical, especially with solid lifters and no oil restrictors in the lifter bores. The stock oil pans are limited to 4-1/2 to 5 quarts of oil because it is difficult for the factory to design a high volume oil pan for a street driven passenger car. That is one reason the factory did not equip high performance cars with HV oil pumps. The GM Corporate Office insisted that all high performance cars had to be driven on the street. The exception was the 409 Chevrolet and the 421 Super Duty Pontiacs which were equipped with a modified stock pan that was welded and extended deeper for 8 quart capacity. Notice how high the front end is on those cars? That is partially for oil pan clearance. This is not a problem unique to Pontiac engines. As far back as 1965, Chevrolet used "edge oriface" lifters with their famous 30-30 fuel injection cams. Those lifters had the oil feed hole on the body of the lifter rather than in the oil groove. I used those lifters in my '56 and '59 Chevys in 1966 through 1969. I have even heard that before 1965, drag racers put pipe cleaners in the pushrods to restrict oil flow to the rocker area. That was before roller rocker arms were introduced an many engines that were so equipped burned up the rocker balls.
I have proven that a HV pump can suck a pany nearly dry with my '69 Firebird 400 street/race car. I was using a Melling high pressure 455 SD oil pump and about 6000 RPM, the solid flat tappet lifters were rattling downb the return road. That was because the stock 4-1/2 quart oil pan was nearly empty at 6000 RPM and the acceleration was pushing the remaing quart of oil in the pan up the back of the oil pan and away from the pick up. When the engine idled for a minute, the oil pan began to refill and the lifter noise went away. I spun out rod bearings on two occasions before I decided to install an aftermarket 7 quart oil pan. I finally switched to a hydraulic flat tappet cam and used Melling JB-951R limited travel (RA-IV) hydraulic lifters. I had no more problems oiling after that. The Crane hydraulic lifter cam and Melling JB-951R limited travel hydraulic lifters were good to 6300 RPM, just like the previous solid lifter cam. I also quit driving the Firebird 400 like it was a 327 Chevy.
Unfortuantely, driving the Firebird like it was a Chevy was the only way I could beat a Chevy.

Who told you this . A stock 5-6 quart pan is fine. Tack your pickup that way it is full suction. The pump is a personal matter.
Did some work today, as i said before there was a new oil pump and pick up as well on the shelf so i've decide to make the mods to get a better hydrostatic balance and keep the stock one wich is in the engine right now.
The grinder i've used is great but the bits not that much so the grooves aren't perfect for sure , i just hope they work.
I've grinded also the casting flashes ,wich on the pick up inlet were very bad, i believe the flow should be better now.
The roll pin has been replaced by a threaded plug and the bypass hole enlarged and the tiny plug replaced with a bigger one (1/4" NPT), unfortunately the wall was thin so i had to braze it up .

FWIW, the plug will change the static spring tension resulting in a higher pressure to open the regulator. Make sure the cover and body are still flat. I use some 300 grit paper on a mill table or a piece of glass to make sure the covers are flat. The end clearance on the pump gears should be no more than .002".
The HV pump will fit into a stock oil pan. From what I can see the HV oil pump pick up will be deeper into the oil pan.
About the relief spring, do you know how much pressure will increase before the piston will be open? i know it sound pretty silly but i'm obsessed about the load on distributor and cam gear, i guess nothing noticeable, can you confirm this?
I had a sudden drop of oil pressure, to zero. I was running a Fram. Never again! Being that some Wix (or Napa brand, same thing) filters are made in China, I've moved onto Baldwin or Hastings filters. Even purolator is a good step up in quality from fram (compare the two at your local auto part store). I made the choice to spend 5 bucks on an oil filter, it's cheap insurance for a $3500 engine.

text: So I have noticed that my car has been running rather rough lately. Seemed like a knocking sound and a lot of vibrations when it would start but then it would smooth out. The other day I checked the oil and sure enough I didn't even have anything showing on the dip stick. The next day I went out to start the car and it wouldn't even crank...it would start to but then shut right off. So I went and got oil and filled her up...tried starting the car and now she turns over but wont fire! What is going on? I have been reading up on these forums and notice that i may need to replace my cps as well. If I approach this where can I find a diagram or instruction on the location of the sensor? Please help I am desperate for answers. By the way my low oil display never showed up on my message center...why would that be if I was that low on oil?

Superman has the Wing speed symbol, which lets him use the Flight and Carry abilities, along with the standard attack, defense and damage combat symbols. He also can shoot a single target from up to seven squares away. Superman has the Superman Ally team ability, which lets him treat hindering terrain as clear terrain for movement and line of fire purposes. As for point values, Superman has the flexibility to be played at either 150 or 100 points, with his 100-point starting line coming in at click 4.
If you're interested in playing Superman as part of a themed team, he has four keywords to help you choose the rest of your force: Batman Family, Gotham City, Kryptonian and Metropolis. Superman also has a trait, World's Finest Heroes, which lets him use Probability Control if he's adjacent to a friendly character named Batman. However, Superman can only use Probability Control to reroll an opposing character's attack roll.
Taking a closer look at Superman's dial, we see that his powers are laid out for him to run in, hit hard, and take as well as he gives. Superman starts with Charge, an attack value of 11, a damage value of 4, and a defense value of 18 with a special defense power World's Toughest which grants him use Invincible and Willpower. He switches from Charge to Hypersonic Speed on his next two clicks, while still retaining the 11 attack values and World's Toughest. On click 4, Superman regains Charge and also adds Close Combat Expert to his arsenal. Hypersonic Speed returns on his next two clicks but World's Toughest is replaced by Toughness for the remainder of his dial. Finally, Sidestep appears on Superman's last two clicks in place of Hypersonic Speed.

Vale Simon Nield
23/09/2008 , 5:54 PM by Geraldine Mellet
Hi everyone, a lot of people pass through the Afternoon studio and airwaves - but there are some who'll never leave your heart. Simon Nield is in that category. Two months ago this singer/songwriter came into the studio to talk about his new album Still and to play for us. He also talked candidly about contracting cancer - actually he said it had felt like the whole family had had cancer - so profoundly had it rocked their world. I think what will always stay with me was how he literally counted his blessings even though he knew him time was rapidly diminishing ; how he'd had more time than expected and how he had reached a state of seeing what was really important - "there's no time for bad feelings, there's no time for grudges. But there is time for being awed by nature and for all the good things". On a personal note I hope I will always remember that as a wake up call. And like many of you who have contacted us about that interview I will always remember the grace and the gutsiness and the talent of the man who sadly passed away last Friday, September 19. For those of you who havent heard him we've attached the interview and one of the songs he played for us about what makes us truly alive. Vale Simon Nield.

I knew Simon briefly and had the great pleasure of joining him on stage at Kulcha last year with Errol Tout. The evening will remain a highlight of my playing career. I've been a great admirer of Simon's since first encountering his music several years ago and am very sad not to have had the opportunity to get to know this very fine man better.

With the onset of cold weather and the burning of fireplaces, many gardeners are asking if the wood ashes are good to use as garden or flowerbed fertilizer. In a nut shell not really.
You may have read about the value of wood ashes in various garden magazines or heard about using them from old gardening friends. In some parts of the country they are good to use. But, they may not be the best fertilizer to use around here.
So, as Paul Harvey would say: "... and now the rest of the story."
Wood ashes contain no nitrogen (N) because it is lost during the burning process. Likewise, they contain little to no phosphate (P). The only valuable nutrient in wood ashes is potassium (K). Unfortunately, in most local soils, the levels of K are quite high and little extra is needed. In fact, it is stable in the soil and does not leach out.
The only way potassium is lost is by plants using it for growth and development. This is why a soil test is recommended before adding nutrients. It is difficult to know what is needed when you do not already know what is available.
Another problem is that wood ashes function like lime to increase the pH of soil. Here again, in our area, soils are calcareous, or derived from the native limestone. The pH is mostly neutral so the use of lime is not necessary. The increased lime may raise your soil pH to an undesirable level. So, the benefits of wood ashes in most garden soils is not all that great.
To use wood ashes to their greatest potential, mix them with the compost pile to give a more balanced fertilizer product. Likewise, compost is usually slightly acidic so ashes would raise the pH to a more desirable level. In either case, wood ashes are better mixed with some other source of organic material rather than being applied by themselves.
It would seem that wood ashes from the fireplace are a good source of nutrients and minerals. Unfortunately, they are not. However, if you do decide to add wood ashes to your garden or flowerbed, spread them in a very thin layer and never in a concentrated amount. Better yet, incorporate them in with the compost pile. Although you may see little initial benefit from this practice, you will be creating a more complete compost in the long run.

suicide front end on 55 chevy gasser????
i was thinking it might be cool to put an early ford axle and transverse spring with 36'' or longer hairpins (not sure if split wishbones would be stronger) for the front end of my gasser . know it has been done before, but how often was it done in the 60's? im wanting to build a period exact dragster. i also have a nice 50 chevy truck axle i can use if the early ford axle idea i stupid and very unsafe. so back the the ford axle, i have a few sets of 40 ford drums and a set of 56 ford pickup drums so would it be smarter to use the truck brakes considering the waight and speed of this car? and what type of steering box would have been use in this kind of setup?
thank you for your time and there will be a lot more questions as time gos on.
thanks again,
howdy there, well we have a '57 chevy bel air gasser with vintage solid front axle done in the '70s or earlier.
i could look under it and try to maybe get a couple pics so you can see the steering and axle etc? im not sure what steering box it has or what the axle under it is from,
its currently stored away and packed between other vehicles over at the shop so i dont know how easy it may be,
we also have a stock untouched '57 210 so we can swap out entire rolling chassis for the bel air.
it seems to have been a really common thing done to these cars, i have seen many online as well. its hard to say how many of these cars were ruined to do this.
not sure why anyone would want to convert to a gasser and ruin a perfectly good stock chassis and the driveability of the car as well,. hmm..
they even cut the firewall and dash and moved the engine back and converted the nose to a tilt style and everything.
its crazy,.,
we hope to convert it all back to stock again by using up most of the 210 so it can be actually driveable and not a hacked/ruined tri five classic.
i don't feel that i am ruining my car by making it a gasser. im not concerned about my car being street able. the car will be driven 1/2 mile at a time in two parts. part one very fast in a somewhat strait white knuckle line, and part two back to do it all over again if i didn't die in a fiery crash from the first part!!! not being rude, kinda being a ********, and mostly playing around :D i want a dragster i think it would be a rush. i do know what you mean by "ruin" i drag race my quad in sand, and i've spent a lot of money on my bike i make it fast enough to compete and by doing this i took a quad that could do and go just about anywhere and now its useless in anything other than a drag race. now back one the subject, if in not to much of a pain i would appreciate some pics of your gasser, like the front and rear end, and interior, and maybe some details of the parts use in the build.
thank you,
Excellent idea. Look for a straight axle out of an old Dodge truck. I've heard these work really well. I wouldn't do it to my '55 but they do look cool.
yes old thread i know but i was meaning to post to this one and a couple others with the pics etc
our 57 bel air gasser
I think the the idea is great.I`m currently doing this to my 57 210.I feel it`s better to do this with these cars instead of slammin them to the ground or build the same tubbed strret rod that everybody else has done.I`m running a 48 ford f-100 axl and used my stock steering box.I got a pitman arm from a guy at a swap meet that said he bought from Speedway.From the pitman I made a cross over steering set up made of a stock style ford tie-rod and a tapered type.I made a adjusting bar bar out of heavy pipe and welded a nut to each end that fit that tie-rod.Really seems to work great.This made it easy to make brackets for a steering stabalizer for normal driving.
You know this thread is a year and a half old? :drunk:
and for a year and a half, the term "rat rod" still sickens me.

The mecha genre is an ever evolving tapestry, with ideas constantly advancing from the groundwork laid by big names such as Tetsujin 28, Mazinger Z, Gundam & Macross.

Review: "Gasaraki" Still Holds Up Over A Decade Later
I've said before on toonzone that I think that 1998 may be Sunrise animation's finest single year. Whether it was it was the pair of wild west space adventures in Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star, or the unusually good ren-ai game adaptation in Sentimental Journey, Sunrise was simply on fire. Part of that amazing run […]
