Aughh I spent so long in traffic today. I had an audition at 4 at USC which just was perfect timing for terrible traffic both ways. Including the hour I spent waiting for my two minute audition, I was gone for over three and a half hours.
This morning I worked out, spent time researching TV shows, and watched Lethal Weapon. I love Danny Glover. He's like my grandpa. Not like my actual grandpa, but he would be another one. Speaking of my real grandpa, he's going to go see Bloomington at the Tampa Gay and Lesbian Film Festival next month. That makes me happy. =)
For dinner I made a simple Thai recipe - Basil Eggplant.
I started with this strange eggplant:
And a bunch of Thai basil.
Basil Eggplant
1 Italian or two Asian eggplants
1 tsp red curry paste or red pepper flakes
1/2 bunch Thai basil, de-stemmed
1 tsp sugar
Cut your eggplant into odd-sized chunks to make them easy to stir. Heat up garlic, add eggplant. Add about a cup of water, cover, and let cook until really soft and mushy - 10 to 20 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and stir basil through to heat. You can also add a tablespoon of rice wine vinegar. Serve over rice or by itself.

Basil Eggplant
3 comments:
That's an awesome eggplant!ReplyDelete
I've never seen or heard of Thai basil... interesting!
Ooh, what an interesting looking eggplant! Seems like a winning recipe :)ReplyDelete
Yeah, it was good! I've heard before that you absolutely should not use normal basil in a Thai recipe but I don't think there's a big enough difference to warrant such a proclamation. So use it if you find it, or use normal basil and just cut it into ribbons.ReplyDelete

I congratulate U.S. House Speaker John Boehner and congressional Republicans for getting their spending cuts with sequestration.
In the process, they're laying off an estimated 750,000 people and putting them on government assistance. What is the cost of that? Is this the GOP's idea of job growth?
Wake up, Boehner and congressional Republicans. Compromise is not a four-letter word. It's how we get things done!

Women and Infants Mental Health Program
Screening, Access to Care, and Clinical Outcomes
A founding research focus of the WIMH Program was to examine methods to improve screening for depression, including identification in primary care settings, and to increase women's opportunities to receive mental health treatment when needed. Studies about women's use of mental health treatment during the perinatal period are important since most women at-risk for depression do not receive proper care and when proper care is received, the lives of women and their children can significantly improve.

Perinatal Clinical Outcomes Study
The purpose of this study is to utilize clinically relevant outcome data which is largely already being collected from women who seek treatment with the Women and Infants Mental Health Clinic, while at the same time creating a registry of women who are interested in participating in other, more specific research projects for which they may be eligible. The specific aims of this study are to 1) describe characteristics of women seeking treatment with the perinatal clinical team, 2) identify predictors of treatment adherence and treatment response, and 3) establish feasibility of conducting clinical research in the perinatal clinic in psychiatry. This feasibility phase will consist of a naturalistic descriptive study of patient characteristics and outcomes. All women who seek mental health care at the clinic are asked to complete measures in addition to those she completes on MStrides for clinical monitoring. A subset of these measures will be asked again at 3 and 6 months after the initial assessment. The patients' health record is examined to extract relevant medical comorbidity diagnoses such as diabetes, hypertension, and thyroid irregularities. This data will be used to examine epidemiology, symptom severity, service utilization, treatment response, and medical comorbidity on a large scale. Researchers plan to examine both the direct and indirect (mediation) effects on treatment outcome measures, as well as moderators and duration of the effect on outcomes. Evaluation the effect of the treatments over time from baseline through follow up and test whether such effect varies by the baseline characteristics will provide insight into the appropriate treatments for corresponding symptoms. This study is still recruiting participants from the Women and Infants Mental Health Clinic and is currently in a data collection phase.

Perinatal Mental Health Registry
The purpose of the Perinatal Mental Health Registry is to identify women who are eligible for and interested in participating in ongoing research studies. Additionally, this registry will be helpful in reducing redundancy in screening assessments administered to women who participate in multiple projects. This project targets the female population seeking prenatal care within the University of Michigan Health System. All women seeking prenatal care at one of the 7 clinics in the University of Michigan health system receive the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Screen (EPDS) to complete, which is standard of care. Additionally, the medical assistants, clerks, or nurses (varies by clinic) hand out the consent form and screening questionnaire to patients during select OB visits (first or third trimester or both depending on the clinic). Women are given the choice to fill out the forms and provide informed consent to be contacted about specific research studies. A research staff member reviews the screens to determine which IRB approved research study recruiting from the registry the women may be eligible for. Contact information for those women who give informed consent are distributed to each individual study. If a woman is eligible for a study, they will be contacted by that study's research staff and asked to sign a consent form to participate in that particular study's research project.
The Women's Mental Health Registry receives approximately 30 screening forms per week. Out of those, approximately 50% of women agree to be contacted for research. An additional 11% allows their data to be retained anonymously to ensure that those who agree are representative of the population as a whole. Of those with available EPDS scores, 17% score a 9 or higher (indicating risk for depression,) and 8% score a 12 or higher (indicating likely MDD criteria.) Approximately, 47% of women screened are in their first trimester of pregnancy and 19% are in their 3rd trimester of pregnancy.

OB Study: Does routine screening for depression in obstetrics improve treatment receipt for pregnant women?
This study sought to 1) compare rates of depression and treatment notations in medical charts pre and post screening implementation, 2) examine the impact of routine screening on provider feedback and treatment receipt, and 3) examine depression severity over time as related to treatment receipt. The study implemented routine depression screening in obstetrical settings in an effort to: assess presenting rates of depression in pregnant women; the impact of screening on provider discussion of depression and appropriate referral; and patient follow-through with treatment. In two University affiliated obstetric clinics, pregnant women were administered the Edinburgh Depression Screen (EPDS) as part of routine care. Providers were notified about positive depression risk. Women who screened positive for depression (score of greater than 10) were contacted for a diagnostic interview (SCID-IV). These women were interviewed again one month later.
Over a 12 month period, 1684 women completed an EPDS depression screening at their OB clinic. 16% (n = 269) scored positive for depressive symptoms. Of these women, 35% (n = 94) met criteria for current Major Depressive Disorder, and 28% (n = 75) met criteria for past Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). More than half of the women with current MDD were not receiving any form of treatment (55%), compared to 44% of depressed women reporting current treatment. However, at one month follow-up, only 23% of women overall were receiving treatment suggesting that physician notification did not impact mental health treatment. Routine screening feasibly identifies depressive risk in obstetrics. Screen notification increases physician discussion of depression, but follow-up mental health care by patients is poor. More efforts may be needed to encourage rapid receipt of mental health services for high-risk women.

Barriers Study: Understanding treatment use in pregnancy
Existing research indicates that practical barriers interfere with women's ability to receive treatment, such as insurance, available treatment, transportation, and ability to pay. New data from recent research projects suggests that even women who don't have practical barriers still don't seek treatment; women's beliefs about themselves impact whether they will seek treatment; and some women seek help from religious persons, friends, and family before or rather than health professionals. This study was designed to further explore the kinds of barriers women might experience in seeking mental health treatment. We are particularly interested in gaining information about women's expectations for treatment, issues related to stigma; the support they have from others to seek treatment; and other concerns about treatment. In this study, women were screened at University affiliated outpatient OB clinics for depression symptoms using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Those women who screened positive for depression (score of >=10), where then mailed a consent form and survey. The survey inquired about asked about recent formal and informal treatment use in prenatal care settings, confidence in the helpfulness of treatment, providers, and settings, and perceived barriers to treatment.
Pregnant women overall reported low rates of formal treatment use but frequently sought help from informal sources, such as friends, family, and printed materials. All women expressed greatest confidence in psychosocial treatments and lowest confidence in antidepressants. African American women reported less confidence in advice from family and friends and in antidepressants than did white women. Women expressed greatest confidence in treatments delivered by mental health professionals and religious leaders. African American women sought help more frequently and had significantly more confidence in religious leaders as treatment deliverers than white women. Women had greatest confidence in treatments delivered in professional and home settings, with African American women expressing greater confidence in religious settings than white women. All women reported greatest concern with structural barriers, compared with attitudinal and knowledge barriers.

OB CARES: The Obstetric Clinics and Resources National Provider Survey: Practice Patterns in the Treatment of Depression during Pregnancy
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has issued recommendations for routine depression screening during each trimester as well as treatment algorithms for depression during pregnancy. Yet, little research exists as to optimal strategies for the delivery of depression care in everyday obstetric practice. In addition, we know little of provider decision-making in the treatment of depression during pregnancy. In order to implement these evidence-based recommendations in everyday prenatal care we need to understand how to influence provider behavior in addressing depression. Therefore, we propose a national survey of prenatal care providers to evaluate the determinants of provider decisions regarding the provision of depression care during pregnancy. Specifically, our project aims to: (1) To describe prenatal care providers' practice patterns in managing depression during pregnancy; (2) To understand the role of contextual factors in provider decisions to treat depression during pregnancy and to evaluate the relative importance of internally versus externally-derived factors upon these treatment decisions; and (3) To determine whether perceived control over these factors affects provider decisions in addressing depression during pregnancy.
This project involves a national survey of a random sample of obstetricians, family physicians, and certified nurse-midwives. Survey content will focus on factors that are perceived to facilitate or impede the delivery of depression care and treatment preferences in response to standardized patient scenarios. Data collection for this project is ongoing. However, subsamples of 20 prenatal care providers from six obstetric clinics were interviewed to understand how prenatal care providers perceive influences on their delivery of perinatal depression care. After thematic analysis, including within-case and cross-case comparisons, researchers built a conceptual model of provider decision making from the data.
Although depression screening protocols were in place at our study clinics, we found that decisions to address perinatal depression were largely made at the level of the individual provider and were undefined on a clinic level, resulting in highly variable practice patterns. In addition, while providers acknowledged externally derived influences, such as logistical resources and coordination of care, they spoke of internally derived influences, including familiarity with consultants, personal engagement styles and perceptions of role identity, as more directly relevant to their decision making. These results highlight the pivotal role of internal factors in decisions to deliver perinatal depression care. Future interventions in obstetric settings should target the intrinsic motivations of providers.

Identification of Health Factors in Pregnancy
Detection and adequate treatment of antenatal depression are a critical public health issues that must be addressed. Depression in pregnancy has been associated with poor maternal functioning and birth outcomes, yet most depressed pregnant women are not detected or treated. The purpose of this study was to provide information on rates of depression treatment among pregnant women at risk for depression and among those with clinician-diagnosed current major depressive disorder (MDD) and to examine predictors of depression treatment seeking and use. Participants in this study were recruited after being screened for depression and other health behaviors while waiting for their prenatal care visit at outpatient OB/GYN clinic sites. Researchers contacted participants for a prenatal interview via telephone. The interview assessed depressive diagnostic status, depression severity, medication use, depression treatment use and health functioning. Women with current depression symptoms were then contacted for two follow-up interviews. Women reporting substance use were contacted for one follow up interview. All participants were later contacted for an additional follow up interview via mail.
Results: Of women screened, 20% (n 5 689) scored as at-risk of depression on a depression symptoms scale (CES-D) and only 13.8% of those women reported receiving any formal treatment for depression. Past history of depression, poorer overall health, greater alcohol use consequences, smoking, being unmarried, unemployment, and lower educational attainment were significantly associated with symptoms of depression during pregnancy. These data show that a substantial number of pregnant women screened in obstetrics settings have significant symptoms of depression, and most of them are not being monitored in treatment during this vulnerable time. This information may be used to justify and streamline systematic screening for depression in clinical encounters with pregnant women as a first step in determining which women may require further treatment for their mood symptoms. As elevations in depressive symptomatology have been associated with adverse maternal and infant outcomes, further study of the impact of psychiatric treatment in pregnant women is essential.

Growth performances and carcass characteristics of broiler chickens fed diets supplemented with graded levels of Canarium schweinfurthii Engl seed (charcoal A) or maize cob (charcoal B) were studied using a total of 110 3-week-old male chicks. 11 experimental diets including a control and other containing either 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 or 1% charcoal from C. schweinfurthii Engl seed (A(0.2), A(0.4), A(0.6), A(0.8), and A(1%), respectively) or from maize cob (B(0.2), B(0.4), B(0.6), B(0.8), and B(1%), respectively) supplements were used. Each of the diets was fed to ten individually birds caged in a completely randomized design. Results indicated that birds fed 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6% of either charcoal A or B had significantly (P < 0.05) higher final body weights as compared to control birds, while, above 0.6% slightly depressed average final body weights and weight gain. The best growth performance was achieved with 0.2% inclusion of charcoals. There was no significant (P > 0.05) influence of charcoal B on the overall feed intake. Only the B(0.6) feed significantly (P < 0.05) improved feed conversion ratio as compared with the control. Dressing percentage, liver weight and abdominal fat were not significantly (P > 0.05) affected by charcoal. However, there was a significant (P < 0.05) reduction in gizzard weight with charcoal B. Charcoal had no significant (P > 0.05) influence on intestine length and weight. More than 0.6% of charcoal A significantly (P < 0.05) depressed intestine density. It was concluded that under the conditions of this study, charcoal from maize cob or Canarium seeds could be used to improve growth performances and some carcass traits in broiler chickens.

New Orleans pianist Allen Toussaint, 77, dies in Spain
MADRID (Reuters) - Allen Toussaint, one of the legendary names of New Orleans music, has died in Madrid at the age of 77.
The piano master, known for jazz, R&B and blues and who wrote hits such as "Working in a Coalmine" and produced Patti LaBelle's famous cover of "Lady Marmalade", died of a heart attack on Monday evening after giving a concert at the Spanish capital's Teatro Lara, hospital officials said.
Fans posted videos of Toussaint's final performance on YouTube, while the English singer and songwriter Billy Bragg said on Twitter: "The man was a genius."
Toussaint, who began performing in his teens, collaborated with a wide range of artists, including John Mayall, Bonnie Raitt, Elvis Costello, Lee Dorsey, Paul McCartney and The Band.
He did the horn arrangements for The Band's famed final concert filmed by Martin Scorsese as "The Last Waltz".
Many of his songs became famous in cover versions by The Rolling Stones, The Who, Robert Plant, Bo Diddley and others.
In addition to writing a string of hits, including "Southern Nights" and "Fortune Teller", Toussaint also campaigned and raised funds to help New Orleans recover from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
President Obama praised Toussaint's efforts in 2013 when the musician was awarded the American National Medal of Arts, saying: "After his hometown was battered by Katrina and Allen was forced to evacuate, he did something even more important for his city, he went back and since then Allen has devoted his musical talent to lifting up and building up a city."
Toussaint said in an autobiographical item on his website that he began playing the piano when he was about six years old when an old upright piano was brought into the family home for his sister, who quickly gave it up. Continued...

There are times when it is difficult to decipher exactly what are the goals of the United States and other nations in regard to North Korea. The United States insists it wishes to enter into negotiations with North Korea but only on condition that other nations also participate in such talks. Bill Richardson who has served in many diplomatic discussions, said North Korea is ready to have discussions with the United States but they want the talks to be one-on-one. "They want a new format. And, the format they want is direct talks with the United States. Now, maybe a compromise might be some kind of direct talks within the six party format. But, again, this is something that diplomats should negotiate."
The United States insists it will only talk with North Korea within a six nation context. Richardson has just concluded two days of talks with senior North Korean diplomats. Step one is getting engaged in discussions with North Korea. Step two will come at the time when step one has progressed. Without a step one, there can never be a step two. As Winston Churchill so eloquently put it: "Jaw, jaw, not war, war."

Potential Deeper Filtering of Pakistan's Internet on Horizon
Web users in many countries across the globe experience censorship to some degree. China is a much heralded example of internet censorship as the country banned many sites including Facebook and YouTube. Pakistan's 20 million internet users already experience a degree of restricted web access; however, present censorship is less restrictive than in many other countries in Asia and the Arab world. Of the most concern to government regulators are sites that display adult content, those that display material offensive to Islam, websites supporting separatist activities, and sites offering criticisms of the government's army. However, the Pakistani government is now running advertisements for companies to configure and filtering system for the internet in the country that would block a reported 50 million sites. This has raised concerns from activists of free speech in the country.
The extent to which the new proposed regulations would restrict free speech in internet use is seemingly up for debate. Activists clearly feel this could be an indication of more and deeper censorship to come. This feeling is only supported by other proposals set forth by a media regulatory entity that that would bring television under tighter government oversight. On the other side, the government's Information Minister dismisses these claims and the director of Pakistan's ISP association contended that future restrictions would not equate to more censorship.
The impact on SEO would most likely be minimal, that is, for the non-blocked sites as searches of non-sensitive material would still function in the same way. As a result, an SEO company serving the Pakistani market will still be able to offer their services and assist a business to rank higher in SERPs and drive more traffic to their website. What is disconcerting however is the potential state of the internet in Pakistan if more censoring follows. Further, if more censorship discourages general internet use, then this could potentially impact the viability of internet businesses in the country. It is unclear what direction the country will head in relating to internet restrictions, but future decisions are sure to follow and have implications on the industry.

Wow... big deal... I don't see a fancy three dog bakery cake! Mom never forgets to get the dogs their cakes. Maybe if she is smart see will cook me chicken and salmon for my birthday!
All week Mom has been allowing me to email a bunch of kitties to make friends. I should have known something was up, a momentary slip in my judgment. She told me this morning when she was getting the dogs breakfast ready.... i'm back on duty next week. Connor is going to have surgery which means I run the house. Why can't these dogs take care of themselves? Sumi was sick for a long time but at least she is tough, she never complained. Mom explained to me what they are going to do to Con… possibly remove a toe! Yeah right he is going to heal in two weeks. So I ask this question…. Who do they think is going to help him get on and off the couch during this healing phase? Not me! I demand home cooked food for the entire time I am to be "nurse betty".
Nurse Bettie is back on duty. With Sumi in the hospital I have a lot to do. Mom and Dad are not well, they pretend but I see through them. Then theres Con and Jaz…. They are very busy trying to see who can get more attention no matter what it takes. Mom is cleaning everything so Sumi can come home to a clean environment and Dad bleached all the dogs beds. I heard Mom say I should have gone to the hospital to keep Sumi company and I agree but then again if I went I wouldn't let anyone near her! I will do my best to keep you posted.

M: El Enigma de Caravaggio (original 1998; edition 2006)
by Peter Robb
Work details
M : The Man Who Became Caravaggio by Peter Robb (1998)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A fascinating story of Caravaggio's brutal life, and we get the feeling that this was a rather violent man. Lots of papal politics, duels. Brilliant recreations and passionate renderings of Caravaggio's paintings coupled with a biography of a man about whom little is really known. Robb makes the case that Caravaggio is the founder of modern art.
For goodness' sake don't let this be the only book you read about Caravaggio, but DO let it inject some mischief and fun into your study of his stunning paintings; and let it be a reminder, too, that 'great art' is not something abstract which floats ready-made above the seedy world which the rest of us inhabit, but is something which is itself created in and through that world - which, here, Peter Robb brings rivetingly to life. I think it's fantastic! Naughty, but VERY nice.
This book was in GREAT need of a substantive editor. Too long, too dense. Just too everything. I pity the person that has no familiarity with Caravaggio that picks up this book. That person would hate the painter well before the first hundred pages are finished. It's only redeeming quality is of the painting descriptions. But even then, they go on and on and on. Peter Robb is clearly in love with his subject, that is for sure.
Powerful book about a powerful but also fragile painter written in a powerful style. It's just been a major reading experience. Very different from a history of art book: the writer has qualities of a novelist, but clearly goes about his research in a most thorough manner.
I looked at each painting on the web and each became much more meaningful after having read about it in the book. A new way of looking at Caravaggio ( 'M') comes about. I now wish to see the canvases which are in South Italy, Sicily and Malta.
The organization of the book is interesting ( quotes, refs, list of pictures, paragraphs, sections, typography, elisions close to speech).
I'd also found an earlier read, Peter Robb's "Midnight in Sicily" of very high quality — recommended to me in Palermo by a Scottish professor who spoke perfect Italian.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312274742, Paperback)
A New York Times Notable Book of the Year
As vividly and unflinchingly presented herein with "blood and bone and sinew" (Times Literary Supplement) by Peter Robb, Caravaggio's wild and tempestuous life was a provocation to a culture in a state of siege. The end of the sixteenth century was marked by the Inquisition and Counter-Reformation, a background of ideological war against which, despite all odds, brilliant feats of art and science were achieved. No artist captured the dark, violent spirit of the time better than Caravaggio, variously known as Marisi, Moriggia, Merigi, and sometimes, simply M. As art critic Robert Hughes has said, "There was art before him and art after him, and they were not the same." Robb's masterful biography "re-creates the mirror Cravaggio held up to nature," as Hilary Spurling wrote in The New York Times Book Review, "with singular delicacy as well as passion and panache."
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:14:50 -0400)
Documents the wild persona of the late sixteenth-century artist, who captured the dark, violent spirit of his age better than any of his contemporaries.

Hardly a great setup for the last half of the race. The ball is put firmly back into Dorna's court to decide how much danger they're prepared to accept in the running of their "show"....

1st July 2004, 03:55 AM
no, remove the apc sol' and connect the MBC inbetween the compressor and the waist gate,connecting the MBC in with the sol' is the way to do it on 9-3 and 9-5 with trionic 7 which doesn't allow higher boost.
ylee coyote
1st July 2004, 05:51 AM
I would disagree
I ran the mbc in series with the APC for many miles
It does give you a little more protection as long as the boost is not cranked up too much
you simply cut the w hose (hose to the wastegate) and put the MBC in here ...
start off low and work up
good luck
1st July 2004, 07:44 AM
sorry to disagree ylee but as soon as the apc sees the exrta boost it will just cut it down again untill you get to the piont when the apc can't reduce it any farther so you might just as well remove it from the start
1st July 2004, 08:05 AM
Does it depend on which type of engine management you have? Surely the APC on the LH/DI/APC engines can't "see" boost... it has no pressure sensor. As long as the extra pressure doesn't cause any knock, why should it reduce the boost?
Disclaimer: I could, as always, be talking cobblers :)
I'm interested because I'm trying to work out all these feedback loops - particularly in the Trionic system - to try and work out why I don't have enough boost.
1st July 2004, 09:48 AM
For more protection u can use map sensor IMHO.
1st July 2004, 10:22 AM
well based on my saab knowledge (may not be very good :-? ) the apc solenoid has a thing in it that flaps back and forth and the ecu measures the speed of that...when it reaches a certain speed it cuts boost with the knock all being detected by a sensor in the di. sooo....i believe that if you slowed the pressure to the solenoid it would allow higher boost?
thats why i asked....

the lh apc up to 1990 has a pressure sensor under the dash and from 1991 on has a temp sensor to determine pressure

the thing inside the apc sol' that flaps is controlled by the apc ecu and not boost level and its job is to limit the amount of boost that the waist gate sees and bleeds off the unwanted boost, if the boost level is higher than the limit programmed into the ecu, the ecu will flap the apc sol' less so less boost is bleed off therfore plying the waist gate with more boost so it opens so reducing to boost back to the preset limit

That's what I love about this site - always more to learn! Thanks boxman. Does the trionic use the MAP sensor for the same purpose, or does it have another sensor elsewhere?
1st July 2004, 12:11 PM
trionic uses the same sensor as di apc to deturmine boost its the one in the i/c to throttle pipe, the trionic map (manifold absolute pressure)sensor replaces the lh air mass meter to deturmine the amount of air entering the engine
ylee coyote
1st July 2004, 06:02 PM
Wiring it in series does have advantages
by altering the pressure on the wastegate by bleeding the pressure off (bleed mbc) or stopping the pressure getting to it (gated mbc )effectively takes the control from the apc untill the pressure /bleed threshold is reached than apc control is re-established
what this does is radically alter the spool up as normally the apc starts to open the wastegate at very low boost
It does this to stop overboost but it is very conservative
the mbc simply moves it up the boost map hence you do get more spiking but removing the apc entirely you will not have control over the mbc boost threshold...
imho of course
1st July 2004, 10:23 PM
ok well i got my turboxs mbc yesterday and installed it tonight in series as i wanted..
verdict - its amazing! I have it turned up to about 20psi. it holds for 3-5 seconds and then slowly knocks me down to 15-16 ish...im guessing beacuse of knock and not due to the apc. So...if i eventually fit a larger intercooler and run some higher octane fuel i should be able to hold the boost and hopefully not toast my motor :o
2nd July 2004, 04:07 AM
well guys you will just have to trust me one this one :lol:
if you run your car around for a few days and then remove your MBC you will find that you have no boost 'cus the apc is trying to reduce it and can't so it will have remembered that and will be running on base boost
2nd July 2004, 09:56 AM
i believe you...but ill just worry about that if i ever remove the mbc...just wanted to let everyone know that it can work while keeping a litle more safety in my opinion.
2nd July 2004, 10:44 AM
the apc sol' is doing nothing to protect you engine, what is happening is the di side of it can reduce boost if the apc can't by retarding the spark, this is what is causing your boost to tail off.
to protect against boost spiking take a look here (http://www.saabcentral.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=25211&highlight=mbc)
2nd July 2004, 11:39 AM
think of it This way..
the Solenoid is told When to open And close by The ECU.
When There is knock, the solenoid opens, and allows the wastegate to "see" The Actual Boost, and open the flapper valve.
if you put the MBC between the solenoid and the wastegate, pressure will NOT get past the MBC until it meets whatever you've Set the preload for.
so, if you've set the MBC for 15Psi, pressure will NOT get past it to open the wastegate To open untilis sees 15Psi. Which means your car will be running equal-to, or greater than "x" boost ALWAYS. no matter what...
if the car is not knocking, the APC will close the "W" line, and the MBC will See NO boost. meaning you running full boost..which is okay.
now, if you DO knock, and the APC opens the solenoid, it won't Affect the MBC/wastegate until AFTER you've Reached whatever Psi you've set the MBC at.
we'll call this.."bad" or..."wrong"
you pick :D
if you place the MBC between the intake manifold and APC solenoid, you are more or less just lying to the APC.
It may "see" 10Psi, but prior to its knowledge, you have bled off 4 Psi. resulting in the net boost of 14Psi
this Still allows the APC to pull bost according To knock, but It will ALWAYS think it's lower than it is...
This way still allows the solenoid to control the wastegate flapper through it's intended range, and help prevent Detonation. you're just convincing it that there's less boost than there really is.
we'll call this "safer" or "correct"
2nd July 2004, 02:46 PM
this Still allows the APC to pull bost according To knock, :
if the apc can pull boost if it sees knock then it can also pull boost if the boost level exceeds the preset limit
if you are getting a reduction in boost when knock accures then it is the ignition that is being retarded which reduces the boost
this debate is going to run and run :roll: we may have to agree to disagree :wink:
2nd July 2004, 04:32 PM
on the pre DI Cars how is timing Adjusted?
MY undestanding, is That there's a diaphram insode the distributor what is "activated" soley on boost.
if that's the case.. then it won't matter...
if the APC is lowering boost, it's retarding timing As a result.
on DI+ Cars, it's possibe that ignition is controlled seperatrely than boost soleniod.
say: map Sensor + knock Sensor +some chart = timing Advance/retard.
what I'm getting @ though... is that if you put an MBC AFTER the APC solenoid, it completely negates anything the APC does.
it'll be a COMPLETE a seperation of solenoid and wastegate, and NO pressure will pass beyond the MBC until it's higher than whatever PSI you set it at.
which means you will run, *at a minimum*, what the MBC is set For. and none less.
which is dangerous.
Especially, since his other post mentioned 20psi.
3rd July 2004, 01:20 AM
wow...im scared at some of the things i just read...crazy amounts of info :o ...20 psi was just fpr fun in an attempt to find once and for all where fuel cutoff is...but i got scared to turn it up anymore so i never found it :wink: and have since set it at a nice 18 psi or so
sorry i started a debate here tho lol....
but im confused...G69nt - are you saying i installed it a better way or a worse way? cuz from your explanation it is working just the way i wanted but im kinda confused.... :roll:
3rd July 2004, 07:07 AM
what i am saying is if you connect the MBC between the turbo outlet and the apc sol' and set the MBC above the preset limit in the ECU then the apc will open up the 'w' port and stop any bleed off there for technicly the pipe from the turbo out let to waistgate is only restricted by the MBC, on the same line if you connect the MBC inbetween the apc sol' and the waistgate the apc will do the same thing, the boost pressure sensor will see higher than preset boost and try and cut it back be opening up the 'w' port and stopping any bleed off, again therefore the only thing restricting the passage from turbo outlet to waist gate is the MBC, in both cases the apc is inactive
saabkid' if you are happy with the way your car goes then thats all thats important :wink:
3rd July 2004, 08:35 AM
your MBC should be between the boost source, and The APC solenoid.
on *my* saab, the boost Source is Actually a nipple RIGHT off the turbo compressor.
you'd want to use that line.
cap that line off the compressor, and use a nipple That Sees both vacuum and boost.
if you interrupt the line that goes from the solenoid To the wastegate, you're looking For Trouble.
3rd July 2004, 08:51 AM
i have removed my apc sol' completely
i have a pipe coming off the turbo going to a 10psimax air pressure reg' set to approx' 4 psi from there it goes to a 'Y' connector then to the waist gate, i have another pipe coming from the throttle housing to a MBC set to about 1.4 bar from there to the same 'Y' connector tha comes from the air pressere reg', the idea of the apr is to keep the waistgate primed with boost pressure but at a level too low to open the waistgate therefore when the MBC opens at 1.4bar the waistgate actuator can react straight away insted of having to fill the waistgate actuator with boost before it can open resulting in sustained high boost from the throttle tap and no spiking 'cus of the apr, becausde the MBC sees boost from thr throttle housing instead of the turbo there is no boost tailoff across the intercooler so when the boost level hits 1.4 bar it stays there
6th July 2004, 11:03 AM
It's a beautiful thing Boxman...Watching boost rise and stick. MBC+A.
Not to mention:
No pressure overshoots; even in cold weather
Higher boost levels when pressure overshoots otherwise force lower settings
No boost pressure overshoot induced clutch slip
No controller induced boost pressure droop when fed from the TB
No boost pressure induced transient AF lean mixtures
6th July 2004, 11:46 AM
I dont' understand how what he's done could stop spiking?
spiking has nothing to do with MBC, and everything To do with air mass, and Wastegate size.
spiking will lead to lean condition, sure... but as does ANY increase of boost on a non-RRFPR.
I'm lost here.... *myeh*
do what you want :wink:
6th July 2004, 12:48 PM
spikes are caused when the boost rises faster than the waistgate can control it, when you fit a gate MBC the waistgate does not see boost until the mbc has opened at the set limit, the boost then has to fill the pipe from the MBC and the waistgate accuator then pressurize, all this before the boost can be reduced and in this time the boost has continue to rise at the throttle for example if the MBC is set at say 14psi by the time the waistgate actuator has responded the boost has hit maybe 17-18psi this is a spike, with the air pressure reg' fitted inbetween boost sorse and waistgate set at 3-4 psi the waistgate is already filled with boost, but not sufiticant to open it, before the MBC opens so the time taken for the waistgate to respond to the boost pressure is much much less so therefore the spike is unnoticable
don't give me the credit for this, it was spatl who devised it
6th July 2004, 05:02 PM
Where did you get your air pressure reg from?

I need you to send me an idiots guide plus piccies on what you have done as I'm very interested as I want to control my boost spikes also.
8th July 2004, 09:39 AM
I have fit a MBC+A kit on a 9000 Aero. I made up a plate to mount the APR and MBC just right of the BPC. It is monted to the frame of the car. From there, you can run your lines from the TB to the MBC and the turbo to the apr with ease. You might want to either replace the line off the turbo to the APR with a longer on or use a straight hose barb connector to add some length to it. Without a plate, you have an APR and MBC hanging around in the engine bay lookng like a snake farm. I think I have a picture I can post somewhere.
Here is the spot that seems to work best for the mount:
This is the proposed setup on the mount (if using s dawes style MBC):http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4d929b3127cceb192c96144f40000001610
Once a TB tap place has been selected, you will take boost pressure from the TB to the MBC, the APR will be tapped at the turbo compressor, and then the two "y'd" back together to the WGA.
The mount is just a good idea to clean up the setup. It works well in the 9-3/NG900. The problem has been to find a universal location to tap the TB for boost pressure in the 9000 due to the many changes of the TB in that car.
If you do something that works, please post about it. I am interested in what others think of this rig on a 9000. The cold weather will really be the telltale time for the rig.
8th July 2004, 09:59 AM
One other note, on certain years, 1993 being one of those years, there is no real good location for tapping boost at the TB. Therefore, this setup can still be used, but the turbo hose will need to be y'd to split the line so that the apr and MBC are run in parallel and then "y'd" back together to the WGA. The APR will allow pressure up to its set pressure and not any more, somewhere around 5psi, enough to fill the line with air but not enough to crack the WGA off its seat. Once the MBC's ball lifts off its seat, the pressure from the MBC will be greater than that of the APR pressure and the MBC will see business as usual. The length of lines is less worrysome being that the line is primed. The mount location only extends the hose length by less than a foot.
While you think about a good boost tap downstream of the IC, Boxman has found a good one using a brass barb tapped in a blank. The 9-3 uses a 3/4" hose tapped with a straight hose barb between the TB and the IAC. If your car uses an AIC, that might be a good sorce as it is closed loop. Off boost the AIC is open, on boost, it is closed.

Jeff and Boxman,
I've now set up the MBC+A in my Aero but I have not really noticed much difference (i.e. boost spike and then taper). I bought the Norgren R07 model. It has about 10 turns from fully closed to fully open (i.e. 0 psi to 10 psi) and I have it turned about 5 times. I'm running the anticipator and MBC in parallel with anticipator going from compressor to wg and MBC from TB to wg.
Does it matter where you tap the vacuum source around the TB? I've just tapped mine from a line that goes to the boost gauge. Might this be a cause of the problems? Unforunately, this is a TCS car so I don't have an AIC to tap from.
11th July 2004, 05:04 PM
hi alan
jeff and i have discussed this and have come to the conclusion the the boost tap isnt important as long as it sees boost cus as the manifold sees vacumm the MBC closes, but what i did find on my 9000 is the size of the tap needed to be the same size as the turbo tap also i think the MBC needs to be turned up after moving the tap the the throttle body. are you saying that you still get the spike if so your waist gate might be too stronge 'cus when i did your trick with the extra spring on it i had trouble with spiking so i had to use a weaker spring.
12th July 2004, 08:36 AM
Excellent point about the spring Boxman :wink: I have a sring assister fitted at the moment and my base boost is somewhere around 14psi :oops: I should have thought of this!
19th July 2004, 09:12 PM
Any Progress on this AlanB? Where are you guys attaching your assistor spring on the 9000. I've seen this done on a c-900 but not on a 9K.
20th July 2004, 03:39 AM
i hooked one end of the spring through the split pin that stops the waist gate actuator coming off the waist gate then the other end to a little braket that i bolted to the waist gate actuator mounting bolts.

Must Catholics Marry in Catholic Ceremonies?
February 17, 2014 by Fr. Bartunek
Filed under Fr. Bartunek, Marriage
Many of my friends' children that insist they are Catholic got married in Episcopal, Lutheran (on a beach with uncle presiding) etc. type of ceremony. Are they still free to receive at Mass? Are they considered married in the Catholic Church? This is "no big deal" now a days? Would appreciate the Church's view on this matter. The situations you allude to are more complicated than you might think. Unfortunately,... Read More

Bowling league
A bowling league is a group event where several teams bowl against each other over the course of a season. Most bowling leagues consist of four team players that meet up once a week or once every other week, usually at the same day and time. Teams of three or five players are also common. Leagues can be set up as male-only, female-only, or mixed. Four-person teams tend to be used in mixed leagues, while three- and five-player teams are more common in male-only and female-only leagues.
Leagues were established soon after the most modern type of bowling was created. Ten-pin bowling is a modern form of bowling that became organized in 1895 in New York City.
Each session, each team in the league faces one other team. In most bowling leagues each team plays three games per scheduled match. After the first week of the league, the average for each player is set, and the average can go up or down after each subsequent session as more games are bowled. Though there are "scratch" leagues where only actual score counts, most leagues use the bowler averages to determine team and/or individual handicaps. The handicap is the difference of the sum of averages between the two teams that are facing each other (sometimes then multiplied by a percentage, such as 90%), or an amount calculated from a score that is above the highest team average in the league so that each team gets a handicap amount. The handicap gives teams with lower averages a chance to compete against teams with higher averages.
Besides the fun of having a team and rolling a ball down the alley to hit a few pins, there are often weekly and seasonal cash prizes and pools that go along with the game. The point of this is to have something to work for. Some leagues will have strike pools or spare pools. This is when team members put in money to play the game. The first person to get a certain amount of strikes or spares wins the total amount of money that everyone put in. In some cases, a ticket is drawn and the bowler holding that ticket must roll a strike to win the jackpot. If no one wins it in one week, then the money carries over to the next week until someone finally gets a strike. Other common jackpots are high scratch game, high handicap game, and "mystery" game (where a score is drawn and anyone whose game matched that score wins a prize).
Bowling leagues normally attract an adult crowd, whether it is duck pin bowling or ten-pin bowling. However, youth bowling leagues are also common, particularly on weekend afternoons. This gives kids the time to learn the game while competing with friends. They start off with bumpers and work their way up until the bumpers are no longer needed. (Bumpers are used to block the gutters so that the bowling ball always has a chance to hit some pins.)
League Scoring[edit]
Leagues normally consist of weekly sessions that require each bowler on a team to bowl three games per week (or more/less depending on the league's rules). Some leagues have special prize funds accumulated by a small weekly fee (above that which is paid to the bowling center) that can fund cash prizes at the end of the season, or anything from a trip to Las Vegas to a bowling ball of your own.
In a given weekly session, each team will face another team in the league in scheduled competition. Teams are awarded points for winning each game, plus points for having more total pins than the other team at the end of all games that week. Scoring systems vary by league. Some of the most common ways of scoring matches in leagues that have three games per week are:
- 4-point system: 1 point for each game, and 1 point for total pins
- 7-point system: 2 points for each game, and 1 point for total pins
- 8-point system: 2 points for each game, and 2 points for total pins (though essentially the same as a 4-point system, this system avoids having to award half-points for ties)
Some leagues may have scoring systems in which each individual on a team bowls an opposing team member for a point, in addition to team points being awarded. Such systems can have 30 points or more up for grabs every night.
League standings are published after each session, and teams with more points at the end of a season (or end of a half in split seasons) generally win the most money or a special prize.

A brand new Activa used to be introduced just lately with new entrance and rear options.
The Hero Activa options make this scooter without equal. The entrance of the Activa used to be redesigned to have extra curves, redesigned lamps and higher aerodynamics. At the rear of the scooter, transparent lens flip signs are supplied. The whole weight of the scooter used to be decreased through introducing have an effect on resistant ABS plastic panels.
This New Activa delivers higher efficiency through the presence of latest engine. It's supplied with 109cc Four-stroke engine that delivers the utmost energy of eight BHP at 7500 RPM and the utmost torque of nine Nm at 5500 RPM. On the other hand, the capability of the gas tank is decreased because of the presence of larger engine. This scooter is thought of as the extremely dependable because of the easier constructed high quality.
One of the crucial distinctive options is its tuffup generation. Because of this generation, this scooter has tyres that have the double layered tubes with fluid crammed in between them. It ends up in puncture-less force because it seals the airleakage in case of any puncture.
As well as, there's a mixed braking gadget (CBS), however this is to be had most effective in deluxe style. This option is located in Honda motorcycles which balances the entrance and rear brakes. On every occasion a rear brake is implemented, the CBS applies the entrance braking drive for higher balancing.
Different complex options supplied on this scooter come with auto and kick get started mechanism and the automated equipment transmission with most velocity of 80 kmph. This scooter is definitely maintained because it has very user-friendly options. It has multi-reflector head lamp and the lift-up unbiased engine duvet.

Well below 40 chief. Truth has never been your strong suite has it?
You talking about getting pussy is ironic. Its like having Jeremy Clarkson lecture on saving the trees. Living at home, still a vrigin at 25...geez. Thats gotta be brutal. I mean, I'm sure you and Mikey are cool with hanging out and jerking off each other watching Lord of The Rings but catching for him has to get old.
Sadly, I dont know any girls with standards this low or I'd kick them your way. But good luck - there's gotta be a school for the blind in Dallas somewhere. It's a good start for you.

New mobile warehousing solution for Malta
Exigy launched its mobile warehousing solution at a recent business breakfast. The local company specialising in the delivery of strategic software solutions, felt that with evolving needs and growing complexities in warehousing operations, mobile technology at the warehouse floor meets the increasing demand for greater productivity.
The launch of Exigy's solution brought together CTOs, CFOs and warehouse, distribution and operations managers that wanted to grasp a better insight in the latest developments of warehousing solutions. Special guest speakers were market leader for mobile warehousing technology Tasklet Factory (Denmark), and supply chain management specialists SSM Group (UK, Malta, UAE).
The mobile solution is a plug-in to Exigy's warehouse management solution, fully managing all aspects of the warehouse and distribution cost centres, inventory planning and operations.
"Warehouses are cost centres to their organisations. They need to search for new methods on how to reduce costs and contribute towards the profitability of the entire business.
That's why such technology is being adopted – to improve supply chain operations," said Alexander Borg, director at SSM Group.
The highlight of the event was the real-life demo and hands-on experience of the mobile solution which clearly outlined the benefits for the business in terms of instant data capturing and up-to-date reporting on inventory levels.
"Wireless inventory management is the way forward for inventory-intensive companies who would like to maintain competitive parity," explained Francois Grech, executive director at Exigy. "Such technology has proven to substantially cut down on inventory and supply chain costs as well as reduce cycle time, hence drastically increasing overall productivity."
Specifically designed for companies that hold high stock levels, such a solution represents a perfect fit for businesses who are seeking to optimise warehouse space, simplify and speed up data capturing systems, enable punctual order deliveries with maximum accuracy, and improve planning and decision-making capabilities
"Powered by handheld devices, employees at the warehouse floor will be able to record any items coming in and out of the warehouse. At the same time, employees at the back-end receive updates in real-time to deliver a punctual and more effective service to clients," added Peter List, CEO at Tasklet Factory.

For some reason when Scotty is on the bridge briefing Kirk and Spock on the engines, nobody else is on the bridge. Given they're in a potentially hostile situation with time running out for them to analyze the situation and respond to it, why would the entire bridge crew leave, regardless of the shift.
Trivia: The Elysian Council appears to be made up of; Xerius (a Romulan), Devna (an Orion), a Klingon, a Kzinti-like creature but somewhat chubbier (see "Slaver Weapon"), an Andorian, an antlike creature, a plant creature (similar to the Phylosians in "The Infinite Vulcan"), an Aquan (perhaps from the planet in "The Ambergris Element"), a Vulcan, a Tellarite, a Human in an old-style Federation uniform, and a Gorn.
Kirk refers to the stardate as "52.2". Later he refers to it (correctly) as "5267.2" - they left out the "67" in the earlier reference.
Kirk: But we are in the Delta Triangle.
Commander Kuri: I do not accept this.
Kirk: Frankly, Commander, what you accept is of little importance to me. Enterprise out.
Kirk: Got any miracles in your computer, Spock?
Spock: Impossible to predict, Captain.
Kirk: I don't want a prediction.
Kaz: Your willingness to work with your old enemy Kirk. It is not like you, Commander. What do you really have in mind?
Kor: You do know me, Kaz. Very well. What would you think of the Enterprise suddenly disintegrated after our duel ship had pierced the time continuum.
Kaz: I would think my commander had maneuvered brilliantly.
McCoy: Jim, I'm worried about Spock. He's just not acting normal.
Kirk: He's under a lot of pressure, Bones.
McCoy: I know that. But I've never known Spock to act like a pal under any circumstances. Least of all toward Klingons.
Xerius: You will fail.
Kirk: We must try, Xerius. Elysia is, in many respects, a perfect society. But with all its virtues, it is not home. And home with all its faults... is where we prefer to be.
In the November 1998 episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, "Once More Unto the Breach", Kor mentioned that he served aboard the Klothos, a D-5-class battle cruiser sometime when the Klingons were still the adversaries of the Federation. Kor, of course, commanded the Klothos in the animated episode "The Time Trap." This is a direct tie-in, which makes the animated series that much more canon.
Coincidentally or not, this episode bears a strong resemblence to the August '72 Gold Key issue #15 of Star Trek.
James Doohan reprises the role of Kor from original actor John Colicos from the episode "Errand of Mercy". The character himself bears little resemblence to the Kor we saw in that episode although the implication is they are one and the same.

I originally posted the item below back in July 2009. Here we are in June 2015, and this darling little Coby MP3 player is no longer available. In the short run of six years it has run its course. Sorry to see it go. It has been replaced with more complicated versions of the same thing, and most of them have built-in rechargeable batteries, which don't provide much play time. Given that, I'm searching for a replacement.
If you're reading this, and a simplified MP3 player is what you're looking for, have a look for a SONY NWZ-B13F. More on this later after we've had more time to see how it performs. Here's the one we're currently trying. It has a built-in battery, which recharges in minutes if necessary, and if you can leave it three hours, you have about 20 hours of play time. Sound is good, size if fine, controls are easy to use. Only downside, a FM radio, which just complicates things.
I determined if I ever found an MP3 player that those who are physically and visually challenged I would be sure to post it. I did quite a search and saw plenty of suggestions, but no real solutions. Then the other day at Best Buy I found a Coby MP3 player that has solved the problem. You see my son in the truck above with his new player. Pictured below is the one I'm talking about. No screens to read, buttons he can figure out, good enough quality for his purposes, easy to setup and keep updated, and inexpensive.
This model is the MP200, 2GB with 2.0 high speed USB for fast file transfer. It is fast, and the interface with Windows Media Player is easily figured out and understood. Mine came with ear buds for $11 (tax in). I purchased five of them. Detailed instructions come with the player.
My son took to the new player quickly and soon had it figured out. Old CDs - "all done." CD players - "all done." Thankfully.
CD players are getting harder to find and they're expensive when you can find them. My son is hard on CD players, and the average life of one is two weeks. Even WalMart no longer stocks them.
