Oh yeah, i block out anything that isn't 03-05 or 2wd... whenever i see a topaz in something the wrong year or xi... it makes me start thinking that I should just get it and figure out the swap later... but that's just not realistic with the amount of free time i have and my budget.
That orient is one ive been looking at also... I will definitely be selling my truck in 2-3 weeks when i can replace my title, the buyer is giving me a deposit to hold the truck for him.
So- now my search can go into overdrive, and I can be confident about placing a deposit on a car if i find the right one... Here's to hoping a topaz touring shows up soon!
Looking forward to seeing the photos of your touring after you've finished pampering it!

Staff report
Hudson first-year head ice hockey coach Bobby Lyle had mixed emotions after the Walsh Jesuit Tournament, which concluded Jan. 20 at Kent State University Ice Arena.
His players should have a little bit more of an edge to them since they played four teams ranked in the top 10 in the state.
Unfortunately for Lyle, his Explorers went 0-4 in the tournament.
Hudson concluded its tournament play with a 3-0 loss to third-ranked Sylvania Northview Jan. 20. Explorers goaltender had 45 saves and gave up two of those goals.
Northview's last goal was an empty-netter late in the game.
"Grayson played great," Lyle said. "We didn't play terrible.
"We played OK, but we couldn't capitalize on the few chances we got. We also had issues with penalties. We couldn't stay out of the box."
Hudson (13-10-2) lost a 5-0 decision to Walsh Jesuit and then dropped a 4-0 decision to traditonal popwer Shaker Heights Jan. 19.
Walsh and Shaker are ranked sixth and fourth in the state, respectively.
Explorers' goaltender Austin Ganley made 23 saves in the nets against Walsh. Kotseos made 39 saves against Shaker, which scored the last thee goals in the final 4 minutes, 57 seconds of the game.
"Shaker is a good team and we're a little young," Lyle said. "We played our grinding style of game for the most part. The second goal they got was a nice shot and it kind of deflated our momentum."
Hudson, which lost a 3-2 decision to eighth-ranked Gates Mills Gilmour Academy in its tournament debut Jan. 17, earned a 1-0 win over Walsh Jan. 12 at Kent State.
Unfortunately for the Exporers, Walsh got its revenge in a big way.
"We came out a little flat [against Walsh]," Lyle said. "Walsh was a little more motivated after we beat them the last time we played them. Austin played really well.
"We're taking our lumps, but these types of games gave us a chance to see better competition."
The Explorers are scheduled to see Walsh for the third time in 18 days.
The two Red North East Division rivals are set to play Jan. 25 at Kent State.
Face-off is scheduled for 5:45 p.m.
Hudson leads the division with a 5-1-1 record and Walsh was second with a 4-1-1 mark.

Journey all over the universe in a map, without the expense and fatigue of traveling, without suffering the inconveniences of heat, cold, hunger, and thirst.
--Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote, part 3, chapter 6 (1605-15).
We humans love maps, and trust these information-rich resources so much that the word has become synonymous with "guide" or "accurate picture." But maps are a human creation, and each cartographer makes choices about what to include on the map, based on available information and external motivations.
Click on the timeline to explore New Mexico history through the lens of historic maps, created in Europe, Mexico, and America, over four centuries. Each beautiful historic map has been richly annotated, offering insight on the period in the words and images of those who were there.
These maps simple to navigate; use the menu in the upper left or double-click on the map to zoom in and see more detail. Click the help button at the upper right for more, detailed instructions.
The New Mexico Humanities Council is proud to offer two projects in celebration of the Centennial anniversary of New Mexico's statehood.
The Atlas of Historic New Mexico Maps, by Peter Eidenbach, will be published by UNM press in 2010, and features over 100 historic maps. This online supplement explores some of the maps in greater detail, and offers K-12 educators, researchers, and other history and geography professionals a useful, free resource.
Use of Historical Material and Copyright
The historical quotations, images, and oral histories included in the online Atlas of Historic New Mexico Maps are included to help visitors understand the human context of the era in which each map was created. Some quotations may include language or attitudes that our modern sensibilities find offensive. The New Mexico Humanities Council does not condone these views, but is including them as part of a broad effort to represent the authentic views and words of the people of that time.

Yes it was 4K miles by the time we visited relatives in iowa and ill plus trips to Grand Canyon, Mt Rushmore along with two visits to Col Springs.
For the most part no major problems but the steering took some getting used to. Much different than the hydraulics I was familiar with. Also we are having the dealer look into an annoying front end rattle which is most obvious at slow speeds over rough roads. It sounded at first like it was coming from the center console but after removing the side cover couldn't find anything significant other than some shoddy ductwork installation which didn't fit together that well. While talking about the hvac ductwork it was noted that the offset fittings under the front seat that direct air to the rear don't fit that well either and mine came loose on the passenger side when the seat was adjusted.
On the plus side the overall mpg was very good at over 40. average. There were times when we were running in the mid forties.
If anyone is experiencing or has resolved the front end rattling issue would appreciate hearing from you.

Local Officials Heading to D.C. This Week
A delegation of local officials will head to the nation's capital this week.
A group of officials from Toccoa, Stephens County, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Development Authority will travel to Washington, D.C. Tuesday to visit with federal officials on a number of topics.
Toccoa Mayor David Austin is among those going on the trip.
He said infrastructure is at the top of the list for the group when it meets with various Representatives and Senators.
"One of the main topics of discussion will be the infrastructure improvement plan that we are working on, money to expand our sewer and wastewater capability on South Big A Road and around the Veterans' Parkway (Toccoa By-pass)," said Austin. "We will be meeting with staff and the Congresspeople to see what kind of financial help and guidance we can get from them."
Toccoa and Stephens County have set aside $2 million towards a project to expand wastewater service down Big A Road and then south into industrial areas of the county.
The $2 million was initially a local match designed to obtain $8 million in additional federal money for the project. However, the $8 million in federal funds was approved but never appropriated and local officials have taken local money to begin moving ahead with design work on the project. Local officials have also said they would pursue other sources of funding if that $8 million was not made available.
According to Austin, other topics that are on the agenda are the county's high-speed broadband expansion efforts and the levels at Lake Hartwell.
Officials from Toccoa and Stephens County have made this trip annually for a number of years now.
Austin said that it helps keep the community on the tops of the minds of legislators in Washington, D.C.
"They are up there representing a lot of constituents," said Austin. "When they know what we need, and of course the sewer thing is one of the big projects we need for growth in Toccoa and Stephens County so we can attract more business, and what they can do for us to help and build that top-of-mind awareness, that is very important."
Austin said that the delegation will also be taking the legislators it meets with a copy of the book "Origin" by local author Jessica Khoury.
The delegation is set to return on Thursday.

Hi AntnyL,
Nice build.
Hood looks great. I want to pancake my 57 I'm building but don't have the b***'s. you are getting me closer. Some more pics of cuts would be a big push.
Keep up the good work...gdb
The hood looks great, more pics would be great also.
I posted up a few more pix, a few close-ups of the cut lines too. If you need to see anything specific, let me know and I'll snap them. Thanks again for the kind words, and I hope the pix help!
WOW , your say you never done this kind of thing before , looks like a pro did it , keep up the great work. Next a top chop ????????????
OK, so I finished pancaking my hood, and I still had a few spools of welding wire left, so I gave the truck one more look over; hmmmm, those driprails bug me. I hate the idea of seam sealer (one more thing to go wrong), and i don't want to shave them and end up with a lap of water when it rains. So here's what I'm doing; I'm gonna cut off the vertical part of the rails, and weld on quarter-rounds of metal. I got a length of 3/4" EMT electrical tubing, sliced it lengthwise into quarters, and started to weld em up. So far, it looks great. The end result will be functional gutters that resemble the gutters on a 34 Ford. The profile basically matches the upper door detail perfectly! No more ugly rails, and no seam sealer! Has anyone else done this?
I've been taking some progress pix and will load them into my photo file soon.
I'm not 100% sure, but I THINK this will be the final mod before I start the plastic filler skim coat over the entire truck. Just in time for the cool weather....perfect!
The drip rail mod sounds cool. I plan on getting rid of mine but want to see pics of what you're doing.
I uploaded a couple of pix in my photo album. Check it out, it should give you a basic idea of what I'm doing. Let me know if you have any Q's.
I want to do something with my drip rails also, I know a guy near here that did his drip rails on a 57 Chevy sedan, I think he trimed them like you did Anthony but he used brake line tubing (don't remember what size tubing) but turned out nice. Kim I saw a pickup that had the drip rails shaved off at a Goodguy's show here it was painted in black suede , and the door gaps stuckout like a fat guys butt crack, I don't think I would take them all the way off.
You're absolutely right about the door gaps. Unless you spend lots of time edge-welding/grinding them, the factory gaps are hideous. I probably have 100 hours into the gaps, at least.
I almost got my rails all welded up today, but my cheapo Chinese wirefeed welder died on me. It served me well, but it was time for a new one anyway. I picked up a Lincoln this time. Gotta learn a new tool now!
You're right, the original gaps on these trucks leave a lot to be desired. I've already come to the realization that I will have a ton of time getting them to look right.
I like the way your rails look. Keep the pics coming.
I'm a nubee but made a post or two some time back, I think.... Mostly research the archives.
I have read this thread. Took me a few days.
Great ideas and photos.
I have a '56 3100 I've been working on since 1990.
It's still not anywhere near where most of yours are. I wish I had a garage like many of you have and could do my own work for that ultimate satisfaction, but alas that is not the case. The '56 sat dormant for 16 years after it got a total original suspension rebuild and overhaul on a 235 inline 6. I sourced the parts and had a few mechanics put them on. The suspension is doing fine but the motor has problems. It still has the 3 speed that came with the truck. The PO had a floor shifter so I swapped that for a B&M long shaft floor truck shifter, back when they still had them. Am looking for a V8 to transplant and even with gas prices the way they are, a 383 stroker or a blown 427 would be obscene, but totally fun. And either a T-400 or keep the 3 speed...perhaps a 4 speed?
After so many what if's and should I's, from reading your posts, I've decided to keep the straight axle and make a '60's gasser out of the '56. It has the right front end for it and after trying to think why I like the look of the TF trucks, it's because I've come to realize I've always liked the look of Willys '40 coupe '60's gassers.The fat fender look. Mind you it took a few decades to figure that out, but I don't get to work on our hobby as often as I'd like and life makes you clean up the morning glory...But at least I have not given up and the truck is still with me.
I don't intend on racing the truck per se and it won't be a daily driver either. More of a hobby with a potent mill and some fun features.
I've seen the usual IFS installs and all the great trucks that sport the slammed look going for the slalom appeal. A drift machine, these trucks will never be.
But I keep getting hypnotized by a fast, loud, 1/4 mile rocket. Even if just for cruising the streets on a Sunday. Perhaps with a set of electric cutouts. Large power discs up front.
I know many enthusiasts have gone the IFS route and believe me I had my couch sessions with the same thing. Mustang ll, Volare, the aftermarket offerings, Jag, Corvette parts, later Chevy truck chassis transplants, complete new modern chassis ideas, and that cool Ironworks dream of a chassis and thanks for posting more pics of that..even towards NASCAR suspensions... But I keep thinking to keep the original parts as much as possible. I used to have an Alfa Romeo GTV 2000 so I realized, short of getting picked for Foose's Overhaulin' show, my truck was going to be an outlaw rat rod with old school handling.
After seeing this thread:
and watching the owner chop off the original IFS of his 55 Chevy sedan to install a straight axle, (Make sure you watch his youtube clip) I sensed I was on the right track for my needs.
I'm curious as to how things are going to turn out with the Power Assist install on DD's 58. I have not driven the truck in so long, I've forgotten what the steering was like. I know at a standstill it's arm wrestling. Would the power assist help or hinder a straight axle gasser on a fast run? Need some input.
There are so many ideas as regards power steering upgrades.
I recently stumbled upon this article by Custom Classic Trucks magazine's writer, John Gilbert. John goes through the history a bit on the steering systems and I for one had no idea that what we think as modern steering boxes have been around since our parents were born...
Here's some old pics of mine: These are old film photos so they're not too clear.
After paying a retired US Air Force band leader here it sits after the long drive home.
Getting the suspension and brakes renewed. Found some new parts for the spindles, drag link rebuild, tie rod, and brake drum and differential innards.
The leaves may be overkill but at the time I had no idea how many would be enough and the PO had these on to haul band equipment in this truck.
Parked in my garage today with a cotton drill cover (had to keep the "eyesore" out of my neighbors' cross hairs) after a recent going over on the "new" brakes and suspension rebuild. After it sat in another garage for 16 years, a set of new radials on original steel wheels and a master cylinder rebuild was all it needed for the rolling stock..needs a new gas tank even though I took it apart years ago, welded some rust holes and "slosh" coated it. Will have a SS 17 gallon tank made and put it under the bed. So until I get a tank on it, it won't be able to get exercise.
it still looks like this today. Had to trailer it to my apartment.
I don't have a journal, but if I find time I may post one.
Here are some pics of a gasser TF.
Does anyone know the guy who owns this and how it handles?
Another owner's offering:
I have collected over the years, a few new replacement parts for the truck, like original repro door latches, cab mounts, gaskets, parking light assemblies and tail lights, speedometer cable, chrome outside mirror holders, mirrors, wiper arm assemblies, door glass gaskets and channels, windbreaker assemblies and latches. These I purchased from the Truck Shop when they were at West Chapman, and Golden State Pickup Parts when they were in California before it got sold. Most of it's all sitting in an old Samsonite waiting for the next step.
After reading some of the posts, I realize I'm in good company with those who have these trucks and leave them parked for a decade or so before picking up where they left off.
I've really enjoyed this thread and learned much from all who've posted. Your possessing real mechanical skills, sectioning body parts, fabricating chassis parts and brackets, painting, welding, I'm re inspired to say the least...
Welcome to the site and thread Goff.
Looks like a nice truck you have. Just keep plugging away at it and you'll eventually get it done.
Nice project....I like the gasser look. Welcome.

Now about those keys, then. The front fascia houses what are quite probably the largest Call and End keys I have ever seen on a mobile. Actually they aren't, strictly speaking, discrete keys. They are pads that respond to pressure. The same can be said for a pair of up and down arrows that sit between the Call and End buttons. There are no softmenu buttons, either, so the Call and End buttons double up to provide softmenu functions, which keeps things simple.
Open the slide and a gargantuan number pad greets you. I measured the keys at 14mm wide and 13mm tall. Furthermore, these keys are discrete rather than printed on a flat pad, and the keys are beautifully designed so that they are very easy to press. Their number markings are huge and there's a very strong backlight.
On the back of the phone is a centrally located lanyard connector. I suppose you can use this to hang the phone round your neck, though I'd say it is a bit unwieldy for that particular activity.
The back also has a large, round, red button with a heart in its centre. This is the Emergency button. It dials a call to 112 and issues a piercingly loud siren sound as it does so. That'll ensure anyone around you knows you are in trouble. I do wonder if it is a little easy to press this button by accident, but I guess it's a trade-off between making it too easy to press accidentally and too difficult to get to when you need it.
There is an LED light on the top end of the phone which acts as a torch. I've said it before when I've seen this feature on mobiles and I'll say it here now. It is so completely useful that it should be a standard feature on any mobile phone. In this case you activate the torch with a button on the right edge of the handset, keeping the button pressed down for as long as you want the torch alight. Below the torch button is another that lets you set an alarm and beneath that is a button for the phone's loudspeaker.
In quite a lot of your reviews you dont add 'screenshots' of the devices menu, etc. I think it would be useful feature, because as a reader we havent a clue how it looks. I noticed the same, when reading the review for one of the PVR boxes, there were only pics of the actual box, but not how the UI looks :(

How Vocal Should My Puppy Be??
I have a 13 week old sable female german shepherd puppy. I am wondering how vocal should she be?? My puppy displays normal german shepherd talking when we are home - she will talk to my older german shepherd - talk to my husband and I - and talk to the cat as well. My issue is when we go to the pet stores - she gets sooooo excited and her excitedness turns into non - stop yowling, barking, wining, etc. and it is really really loud (it really hurts my ears so I imagine it hurts other peoples ears too)! She will not stop until we leave. I know that shepherds are vocal but how vocal is too vocal?? My vet says that I have been blessed to have one of the most vocal shepherds she has ever seen and that more than likely she will always be that way - she did give me cards for personal trainers that deal with behavioral issues .. (because my pup does get mouthy when I tell her no - but what baby doesnt when they dont get their way). Anyways I want my puppy to be able to go with us everywhere but my fear is that she will not be able too if we don't get her vocalness calmed down a little bit - she is really cute and small right now but I think it may be a different story as she gets bigger.
I have not enrolled her in puppy training yet because I am waiting until she hits 4 months. I also am big on positive reinforcement - treats / petting when calm etc. None of this works at all when she is all wound up at the store - I also do take her for a walk before we go into any store in hopes that she will be calm but that has failed as well. Has anyone else ever dealt with this and if so how do I start the process of toning it down a little bit?? I love my puppy more than anything and want her to be happy, healthy, and be able to go as many places with me as possible
Any information would be greatly appreciated! I just want to have some reassurance that I am not alone in this matter and that hopefully someone may have some tricks to help me correct this... Thanks!!

text: For everyone who lives near Lauglin, NV; Bullhead City, AZ; Fort Mohave, AZ; Mohave Valley, AZ; Golden Shores, AZ; and Needles, CA...The BLM finally approved a public range off Boundry Cone Road in Fort Mohave. The AGFD, BLM and the local club have been trying to get this done for ten years. I am really excited about this. I have been driving 37 miles (50 minutes) to the Kingman range (Seven Mile Hill). I live five minutes from the new location. It will be nice to have a range to go to; especially for rifle.

Use the FixedAddressValueTypeAttribute attribute to mark static value types as pinned upon creation.
This attribute is used by the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler.
Static value type fields are created as boxed objects. This means that their address can change as garbage collection is performed. When you apply this attribute to a static value type, its address remains constant during its lifetime.
The following example illustrates the use of the FixedAddressValueTypeAttribute attribute to pin a static field in memory. It defines an Age structure and initializes two classes that have static fields of type Age. The second class applies FixedAddressValueTypeAttribute to pin the field's address. A number of memory allocations are made before and after these two objects are instantiated and the garbage collector is invoked. The output from the example shows that although the address of the first Age field has changed after garbage collection, the address of the field to which FixedAddressValueTypeAttribute is applied has not.
using System; using System.Runtime.CompilerServices; public struct Age { public int years; public int months; } public class FreeClass { public static Age FreeAge; public static unsafe IntPtr AddressOfFreeAge() { fixed (Age* pointer = &FreeAge) { return (IntPtr) pointer; } } } public class FixedClass { [FixedAddressValueType] public static Age FixedAge; public static unsafe IntPtr AddressOfFixedAge() { fixed (Age* pointer = &FixedAge) { return (IntPtr) pointer; } } } public class Example { public static void Main() { AllocateMemory(); // Get addresses of static Age fields. IntPtr freePtr1 = FreeClass.AddressOfFreeAge(); AllocateMemory(); IntPtr fixedPtr1 = FixedClass.AddressOfFixedAge(); AllocateMemory(); // Garbage collection. GC.Collect(); GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers(); // Get addresses of static Age fields after garbage collection. IntPtr freePtr2 = FreeClass.AddressOfFreeAge(); IntPtr fixedPtr2 = FixedClass.AddressOfFixedAge(); // Display addresses before and after garbage collection Console.WriteLine("Normal static: {0} -> {1}", freePtr1, freePtr2); Console.WriteLine("Pinned static: {0} -> {1}", fixedPtr1, fixedPtr2); } // Allocate memory for 100,000 objects. static public void AllocateMemory() { for (int ctr = 0; ctr <= 100000; ctr++) { object o = new object(); } } } // The example displays output similar to the following: // Normal static: 19932420 -> 19863704 // Pinned static: 19985508 -> 19985508

Class Details
Teaching Staff
Each classroom has a Montessori-certified teacher and an assistant or co-teacher.
The Preprimary program at MSNV recognizes and nurtures the unique stages of development in the 2- to 3-year-old child. Our objective is to provide an environment that is rich in cognitive, social, motor and language opportunities especially selected for children of this age.
The Preprimary classroom is designed and maintained to afford the child the greatest opportunity for safe, independent exploration and mobility. It is attractive, clean and orderly and is furnished with child-sized furniture and developmentally appropriate materials. The Preprimary class offers the youngest members of our MSNV community a positive introduction to the world of school and the wonders of Montessori education.
The MSNV Primary program for children ages 3-6, stresses the importance of providing a secure environment within which the child can adapt easily to new social interactions not only with other children but also with adults. Within this secure environment, children are eager to learn and explore as independently as possible. MSNV emphasizes two areas of learning for the younger Primary children: "sensorial" activities which promote awareness and development of the senses and "practical life" activities through which the children learn about themselves, their world and others.
As the children become more self-assured, more confident of their abilities and surroundings, the sensorial lessons are applied to hands-on learning of mathematical and language concepts. Through the use of Montessori materials children can see and feel, for example, what "four" or even "nothing" is. A child's understanding of the world is enriched by work in science and geography and the beginnings of reading come naturally, at each child's individual pace.
Independent work and social interaction become well developed in our older Primary children. Their minds are more rational and less instinctive than at an earlier age and they not only need but also demand more intellectual stimulation. Their energy is seemingly endless; they are increasingly self-directed and self-disciplined, eager for the challenge and the opportunity to shape their social and physical surroundings. As they move from concrete learning to more abstract levels of thinking, more advanced materials are provided. The atmosphere fosters exploration and creativity while remaining warm and supportive.
In the Elementary program at MSNV, children ages 6-9 continue to develop their potential, learn more about their world and acquire new skills, all extended upon what they've learned in the Primary class. Maria Montessori believed that children absorb knowledge early and have the ability to teach themselves. For the Elementary child, Dr. Montessori wrote, "the power of imagination is what educates." Students are introduced to the Cosmic Curriculum, an integrated and differentiated approach to human relations through language, mathematics, botany and zoology, history and geography, art and music. Serving as the basis for this curriculum are five "Great Lessons" which are presented as impressionistic stories. These stories dramatize the known truths of the universe and the progression of human civilization and knowledge. They are followed by detailed studies of the key elements of each story, all designed to appeal to the child's imagination.
In the Lower Elementary classroom, children have the unique ability to learn academic subjects with hands on materials. For example, children are not forced to memorize long division, they work with scientifically engineered manipulatives until they reach their own understanding of the concept. The direct aim of the Montessori materials is to deepen the understanding of fundamental concepts. The indirect aim is to foster the love of learning. Children want to come to school every day and learn with their friends. The materials also allow children to work on concepts well above grade level, such as dynamic multiplication in first grade.
A final tenet of the Lower Elementary Montessori classroom is the environment. The structure of the classroom is such that it encompasses a 3 year age span. This allows older children to give lessons to younger children. Directly this reinforces the concept for the older child and indirectly serves to bolster confidence. Older children also provide positive role modeling for younger children. In a mixed age classroom younger children naturally want to live up to the expectations of older children, both emotionally and academically. Behavior problems are few and far between because children are engrossed in hands on materials and exciting lessons. Children are also responsible for the care of their environment. By the time a Montessori child is of middle school age, they have a strong desire to do "real work" with their hands, such as making and selling a product, or helping in the community. This groundwork for this plane of development is laid in the elementary classroom where their work includes caring for plants and animals, cleaning up after themselves and others and respect for handmade materials.
Upper Elementary
The Montessori Upper Elementary program at MSNV helps students become self-confident, lifelong learners who have the ability to self-motivate, self-regulate, work with others and solve conflicts peacefully. MSNV graduates are excited about learning, have a sophisticated understanding of themselves as human beings and as students and are ready to take on the world!
Curriculum Overview
The Upper Elementary curriculum is designed to be responsive to the social, emotional and academic needs of students 9-12 years old or in grades 4-6. It blends Montessori materials and methods with national and state curriculum standards. With this curriculum the classroom becomes a learning laboratory where students discover, explore and expand their knowledge of academic subjects and self-identified topics of major interest. Subject matter is connected. This integration, called Cosmic Education, allows students to see the big picture and discover connections between information. Small group and cooperative learning alternate with independent work time, teaching students how to work both individually and in groups.
Community meetings provide a forum for students to be active participants in the decision-making and problem-solving processes in the classroom environment. Time management skills and a sense of accountability are fostered as students learn how to maintain a balance between work and socialization. Students are held to high expectations and are taught to hold themselves up to those standards as well. They emerge as self-motivated and independent learners, equipped with sound work habits.
Writing skills are emphasized across the curriculum, from English to mathematics. Science involves hands-on experiments and encourages observation and critical thinking skills.
Mathematical concepts are taught with hands-on materials that allow students to practice high-level math skills, such as algebraic concepts, while still in the Upper Elementary program. Students in the Upper Elementary program move from the concrete to the abstract and eventually no longer need materials. Cultural areas of study include history, botany, zoology and physical and political geography. As much as possible, cultural lessons employ real life examples or opportunities for students to learn – be it monitoring the watershed health of the nearby creek or cooking over an open fire to learn more about the Colonial Period.
Community Involvement
MSNV's Upper Elementary program emphasizes giving back to the local and global community. For example, the Upper Elementary class organized a meal for Bailey's Crossroad Community Shelter. We invited a nearby Montessori Upper Elementary class to help prepare and serve the meal. After serving the patrons of the homeless shelter, students sat in the dining area to enjoy their home cooked meal. Students also organize fundraising events that benefit their classroom, school and greater community. In addition, students have the opportunity to participate in an overnight camping trip, annual school play and weekly trips to the local Recreational Center for PE.
Throughout the year students plan, coordinate and execute Going-Out Events-mini-field trips related to their personal interest research projects. These trips, a unique feature of Montessori elementary education, encourage students to go outside of the classroom to access and explore information and resources. Going-Outs bolster students' self- motivation to investigate areas of high interest. These experiences give students the real-life skills, tools and self-confidence necessary to make use of community resources beyond the four walls of the classroom.

Arsène Wenger has sought to clarify his views over the fixture congestion Arsenal have faced this week.
Last Saturday, the Frenchman took his side to Bolton and on Wednesday they visited Fulham. However their opponents on Saturday - Tottenham - did not have a midweek fixture. Three games in eight days is a heavy burden on any side but particularly if you consider that Arsenal have a Champions League decider next Wednesday and then the little matter of Chelsea at Stamford Bridge the following Sunday. The Frenchman aired his views at Craven Cottage but was unahppy in the way his thoughts were presented.
"What I said and what has been made of it is completely different," he reflected at his press conference ahead of the Tottenham. "I did not moan.
"I just said that it's normal when you organise a championship that everybody plays on the same date.
"Chelsea and Manchester United played [in midweek] yes but when did Tottenham play? You have to make sure that if one team plays three times in a week that everybody does. Some teams don't play at all.
"If you ask 20 managers about playing Saturday/Wednesday/Saturday and if they would like to jump one game, they'd all say 'I would like to jump the midweek game.'
"When you organise fixtures in this midweek and know that half of the teams won't play, the competition is not regular. That is all I wanted to say."
For the sake of balance it must be stressed that certain teams did not play in midweek because of the knock-on effects of possible Uefa Cup fixtures.

307 Chevy stroker build-up
I have a 307 smallblock Chevy and can get a couple more for free and am looking for ways to build them up. On another site someone suggested that I could use stock 400 rods and a 350 crank with .030 over 307 pistons and get 333 ci. Has anyone ever done this? If so how did it perform? I am just looking for a good street motor for an S-10. Since it seems not many people use stock 400 rods and 350 cranks are easy to find the most expensive part would be the 307 pistons. What do you guys think? Will it work? At least it would be something different! Thanks ccnova
Last edited by ccnova; 01-18-2005 at 07:26 PM.
I have not tried it but when I looked into building up the 307 I had I found out a few things. Someone here suggested the 333 which is theory worked. Now when I went to the machien shop to talk to this guy about the engine he said he didn't think it would work because the rods would hit the crank counters.
Also found that while it is diffrect it is VERY hard to find good pistons most are just stock cast ones. I found no hypers or forged.
It turned out that cost per HP it was by far a better idea to just build a 350. Or keep the 307 and just freshen it up.
Thanks for the reply. I was wondering about clearance problems like that. Has any one actually tried it though? I was assured it would work but would like to make sure before I start buying parts. Any and all suggestions or comments are welcome. Thanks ccnova
Wanted to add also that the guy said it WOULD work and did a DD dyno for me (was pretty good but not 350 power) but said the counter weights would have to be machined down (rebalance of course "would cost more") That's just that guy though.
The deck needs .02 off to get the correct quench with the 400 rods. Other then that it sounded OK. Like I was saying though it's easier to make power with a 307 vs the 305 and since it's all sbc parts are out there the pistons where the only down side I really ran into.
the 307 is an olds motor, not chevy. chevy has the 305
Chevy made the 307 small block from 1968 to 1973 if I am not mistaken. The olds 307 came along later. Bore and stroke are 3.875 X3.25. ccnova
You got it ccnova 307 is 3.875 bore and 3.25 bore Check out
olds also made a 307 but that is diffrent with over a 4 inch bore.
Thanks for the replys Chris and the link! I'll look into this some more. Just wanted to see if anyone had done this and what results they had. Thanks again ccnova
The piston warning is a good one, Since any pistons you`ll find for a 307 are the "rebuilder" pistons, and they have .020 whacked off the tops, which lowers compression and kills the quench, this is why many never do a 307 Chevy build up. Used to you could get Forged pistons for a 307, I don`t know if you still can without custom ordering them, and when they were avalible, you paid a high price for them since it`s not a common engine, so most decided it wasn`t worth it. If you have one where the factory pistons and the bores are in good shape, stick with them.
Or if you like, you can get a 350 block, and drop in the 307 crank, which creates a 327. then all you`d need is 327 pistons.
Aren't the journal sizes different? I thought the 307 was smaller, like the 283.
I have a 307, that I am about to rebuild. Anyone have a decent head & cam recommendation? Remember, this motor will rarely see 5500, let alone anything above. Something for the 71 Nova. 3.08 gear ratio, so torque is key, here.
Thanks for the reply doublevision. If I use the rebuilder pistons and deck the block to make up for the lost height of the pistons do you think it would work? My son can do the machine work for free in auto class so we're not concerned about that. Also on Jegs my son said he found some forged pistons for 307 but I haven't seen them yet. Any other ideas or comments are welcome. Thanks, ccnova
all 307 cranks are basically large journal 327 cranks. They fit no problem in a 350. If you can score a cheap truck 4 bolt 350, it's an easy way to make a 327 4 bolt. I have a buddy who did just that, and it has worked fine for over 5 years now. Basically has the same personality of a 327, likes to rev. Give it lots of cam and 11:1 compression, and they make a great high rpm motor.(provided you balance and have the valvetrain,etc, for that)
heres a chart from a GM Hi Po manual for crank diameters...enjoy.
Beenaway, Check the site I listed a few post above and check out journal sizes. All the later engines (GEN II) used 2.1 journals and had 3.45 mains other then the 400's 4.65 (thus the grind down with 400 crank to make a 383) The early engines (GEN I) did have the smaller 2.0 journals though.
Only problem with the 307 is it really is a diffrent engine. The crank is smaller then a 305 but the bore is bigger. Making it harder to find the parts you want. I have one org. for my Chevelle but at the time it just sits in the shop because the cost to build a good one is worse then a really kickin 350.
I also looked into building up the 307 and if you look HERE you can see what I found
You can use 400 rods & 283 pistons in a 307.
What will using 283 pistons and 400 rods do to the quench and compression? would it be best to deck the block then? Also what style piston would be best flat-top, domed,dished ? Thanks for the help, ccnova

If you purchased your iPad in the Apple Store, you may have already activated it with a Specialist by your side. But if you've received your new gadget as a gift, or you opted not to activate immediately, here's a guide on how to do so.
Set Me Up: To begin the activation process, slide the switch to the right.
Once you've unboxed your iPad, turn it on by pressing the On/Off switch. A welcome screen greets you, displaying a Slide To Set Up slider in a variety of different languages. (If you need quick access to your device's IMEI or ICCID number without setting up the device, you can tap the information button [represented by a lowercase i] located directly above the slider.)
Users with visual impairment can also take advantage of iOS's VoiceOver screen-reading system during the setup process by triple-clicking the Home button.
To begin the activation process, slide the switch to the right, where you're asked to pick your language, country, and if you'd like to enable Location Services. This allows Apple apps (and third-party apps) to access your location via Wi-Fi networks and your Global Positioning System (GPS) location.
Your iPad will check for any Wi-Fi networks in the area that you can connect to; unfortunately, if it doesn't find any, you'll have to set up your iPad via iTunes and the computer.
Restoring old data to a new iPad
Choose Your Own: You can set up your new iPad as a new device, or restore it from a backup.
If you're upgrading from an older iPad, you've hopefully made a backup of that information, either via iCloud or iTunes. Choose one of these options to copy that information to your new device.
Restore from iCloud backup: If you have an iCloud account and have backed up a previous iPad incarnation using iCloud's Backup feature, you can use this backup to restore your device (though you'll need to be on a Wi-Fi network to do so). To restore, sign in to your iCloud account, agree to Apple's terms and conditions, and then choose which backup file you'd like to use and tap the blue Restore button in the top right corner of the screen. (Depending on the speed of your Wi-Fi connection, this process can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours.)
Restore from iTunes backup: If you tap Restore From iTunes Backup, you're brought to the Connect To iTunes screen. Connect your iPad to your computer and open iTunes; after clicking on your device in the Source list, you see the Set Up Your iPad screen, which asks if you'd like to set it up as a new iPad or restore from a specific backup. Choose the correct backup, and then click the Continue button to proceed. This process is significantly faster than restoring from iCloud because you're transferring data over USB, not over Wi-Fi.
Once you choose either option, your device will activate and begin the restore process.
Setting up as a brand-new iPad
Email Identification: Your Apple ID is an email address--one you already use, or a new email you create on the spot.
Don't have a backup of an older device, or don't want to use one? It's easy to start fresh. The first thing you need to decide is whether to supply an Apple ID (or create one, if you don't have one). You use your Apple ID to buy music from iTunes, apps from the App Store, books from the iBookstore, and for iCloud.
What's an Apple ID?: If you've ever purchased something from the iTunes Store, you'll have signed up for an Apple ID--it's usually your primary email address. Your login information for Apple's MobileMe or iCloud service should also work when signing in.
Use your current Apple ID: Already have an Apple ID? Tap the Sign In With An Apple ID button and enter your username (usually your email address) and password. Apple will then spend a few moments linking your device to your Apple ID.
Sign up for a new Apple ID: If you don't have an Apple ID, it's easy enough to create one by tapping the Create A Free Apple ID button. You'll need to enter your birthday, name, your email address (or create a new iCloud email address), a password, a security question (in case you forget your password), and whether you'd like to receive email updates from Apple.
No Apple ID for me: If you'd rather not set up an Apple ID, you can tap the Skip This Step link in the lower right corner. You can always add or create one from the Settings app later, but note that you won't be able to buy anything on the iTunes Store or set up iCloud until you do.
Send to the Cloud: If you want to keep your iPad in sync with your computer and other iOS devices, back it up remotely, and find it when it's been lost, you should enable iCloud.
If you've chosen to set up or register an Apple ID, you can also enable iCloud on your device. iCloud is an umbrella term for Apple's collection of sync services, and allows you to sync your photos, apps, contacts, calendars, and mail across multiple devices. (You can read more about iCloud in our Getting Started with iCloud primer.)
Choose to set up iCloud, and you'll first be asked whether you'd like to enable iCloud backups for your device. If you do so, you can have your iPad back up all essential settings to your iCloud account; if you ever need to restore, you can do so over Wi-Fi without an additional computer. You can also elect to have your iPad back up to your computer using iTunes. Additionally, you'll be asked whether you'd like to opt in to iCloud's Find My iPhone service. This will enable location monitoring for your iPad, allowing you to find it using your Apple ID and the Find My iPhone app from another iOS device, or by logging into your iCloud account online, should it go missing.
Finishing Touches
One of the iPad's nice features is Apple's personal voice assistant, Siri. If you want to take advantage of Siri, you can enable it here. Then, once you finish the setup process, you're asked if you'd like to send Apple anonymous diagnostics and usage information (similar to a desktop crash report). After you answer that question, your iPad will be all set and ready for you to begin using.
Get started with your iPad or iPad mini
Those of you who have purchased an iOS device before know the drill, but for those first-timers, here are a few quick pointers for getting acquainted with your device.
Learn how to tap, drag, and multitask: If you've never used an iOS device before, check out our primer on Multi-Touch gestures and using the multitasking bar.
Tweak your settings: Most of the underlying system information for your new iPad--network settings, Mail, sounds, messages, restrictions, wallpaper, and more--is kept in the Settings app. As such, it's a good place to start when you're first getting acquainted with your device.
Get a data plan: If you purchased an iPad with a cellular connection and plan on using it to browse the internet, you need to sign up for a data plan. You can do so by launching the Settings app and tapping Cellular Data.
Set up iTunes sync: If you didn't restore from an iOS backup, you won't have any music, video, podcasts, photos, or books on your iPad. You can remedy that by connecting to your iTunes library: Just plug your device into your computer via its included USB cable.

Specialised Learning
The College offers a variety of special learing programmes to further the development of student's learning, these include:
The Academies have been set up to provide individualised learning programmes for students who may not be going onto to Tertiary study at this stage of their life, and who are career-orientated. Candidates for the academies would have a career path or direction established, they would have good work ethic, drive and enthusiasm -in other words, a "can do" attitude.
Once selected, students opt to be involved in one of three academies - the Food and Hospitality Academy, the Engineering Academy and the Sports and Leisure Academy. Students are then matched up with a local business that is looking to take on an apprentice or full-time employee sometime during the year. The student then works at that business for several days per week, and spends the remaining time at College. At College, they study career skills, computer studies, and other option classes, aiming to collect credits towards the NCEA. They must also complete several hours per week working for a non-profit organisation.
A large number of local businesses have become fully involved with the Academies programme, and it has been hugely successful. All of the 2003 intake of students were offered apprenticeships, fulltime employment or went onto Polytechnic courses.
Questions related to the Academies Programme should be addressed to Mr R. Sperling (Academy Director).
Accelerated Learning Programme
The Tauranga Boys' College Accelerate program is challenging. It provides an academic platform for a select few boys from which they can advance their level of knowledge and understanding of key subjects beyond their peers.
Selection and continuing involvement is dependent on academic success. Students need to be focused on performing at the highest level for each of the core classes including: English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies and Health & Physical Education. Students also need to display the characteristics and values considered fundamental to success in an accelerated environment including: motivation, determination, initiative and time management.
The top 15% of the year 9 cohort studies a year 10 curriculum in both Mathematics and Science from the beginning of term 2 in preparation for NCEA Level 1 study the following year.
The year 10 accelerate cohort must study Mathematics, Science and a Social Science (History or Geography) at NCEA Level 1. Economics is also available at Level 1 but is not mandatory.
From year 11 onwards, an accelerate student's program consists of six subjects. Mathematics and English are compulsory.
Year 12 is the first opportunity to experience Scholarship Exams. They are the pinnacle of academic achievement for students in New Zealand and reflect years of effort and perseverance. Only the top 3% of candidates are awarded 'scholarship', with the top 1% awarded 'outstanding'. Scholarship candidates are expected to demonstrate high-level critical thinking, abstraction and generalisation, and to integrate, synthesise and apply knowledge, skills, understanding and ideas to complex situations.
Finally, at year 13, an accelerate student has the additional opportunity to study a selection of University papers including Mathematics with Calculus, Mathematics with Statistics, Physics, Chemistry, Economics, Philosophy and Computing.
The benefits of successfully studying in the Tauranga Boys' College Accelerate program are varied and many. Ultimately, it has been designed to stimulate the talented and curious minds of our students and provide additional learning opportunities.
Te Whanau-A-Aronui
Aronui offers to all students a personalised learning environment.
The aims of Aronui are:
1. To uphold Maori traditions and customs.
2. To encourage successful outcomes in all subjects.
3. To retain students at school to acquire the necessary qualifications for
further education and or employment.
4. To foster student's natural ability
5. To strengthen student's self esteem and mana.
VIP Academy
The Tauranga Boys' College Vocational Industry Pathways Academy has been set up to provide individualised learning programmes for students who may not wish to go on to university study at this stage of their life, and who are career-orientated towards apprenticeships and cadetships. As this is an advanced Gateway funded Level 3 Unit Standards programme, candidates for the VIP Academy would have an identified career path or direction established upon entry, they would have good work ethic, drive and enthusiasm -in other words, a "can do" attitude. As this is a stand alone course, students are advised not to enroll in mainstream subjects due to the amount of time spent outside of the school each week. Once selected, an individual study programme is established around a 2 day per week work experience placement in a local industry, a fitness session, community help with a non profit organisation, business mentoring, a senior school T3 Option, work ethic lectures, team building camps and Academy courses held on the school site or through Tertiary providers off site. Academy members are matched up with a local business that is looking to take on an apprentice or full-time employee sometime during the year. A large number of local businesses have become fully involved with the Academies programme since its inception back in 2003, and it has been nationally recognised as a leading edge Level 3 programme.
Questions related to the Academies Programme should be addressed to Mr R. Sperling (VIP Academy Director) - email@example.com.
biz-enterprise school Tauranga (b.e.s.T) is Tauranga Boys' College's development to provide our students with a structured practical entrepreneurial business programme in a "school within a school". Established in 2004, the school offers students the choice of Biz-Enterprise Studies (BESt) at each of the year levels, and currently has 400 students enrolled in optional courses in Junior and Senior b.e.s.T. The school has developed branded programmes that encourage the personal development of communication, technology, numeracy and literacy skills that will help students contribute positively to their communities in the future.
Learning Support
Learning Support classes were established to cater for students with a range of learning difficulties in Form 3 and 4. These classes are normally limited to about 15 students. This helps to ensure that the students receive any extra assistance that may be required to help them further achieve to their potential. Core subject content is similar to that of other 3rd form classes but is at a more appropriate curriculum level. It also allows for in-class Teacher-aid support to be available where appropriate.
Like the other junior classes, students in "Learning Support" classes are taught as a group for their core subjects. All option classes are composed of students from all the 3rd and 4th form classes. It is recommended that members of "Learning Support" classes enrol for the Reading options also. These courses provide a further boost to basic literacy skills.
Questions related to Learning Support should be addressed to Mrs R. Stratton (HOD - Learning Center)
Titans' Elite Performers Programme
The Titans' Elite Performers Programme has been developed to provide a course for elite performers in their chosen sport. The course involves both academic and practical components. In the practical sessions, at least two hours per week being devoted to specialist skills-based coaching, while time is also devoted to generic and sport-specific fitness training. At Year 11-13 level, Achievement Standards from the Health and Physical Education syllabus will be assessed.
Entry to the Titans programme is by application, and numbers are restricted to a maximum of 30 per year group.
Questions related to the Titans' Elite Performers Programme should be addressed to Mr D. Boyd (Director - Titans Sport).
Inquiry Learning Programme Inquiry based learning
University Study
Tauranga Boys' College has strong relationships with University of Waikato and the University of Auckland, and offers a range of Level 100 (Stage 1) papers, from their universities as part of its accelerated learning programme.
Students in Year 13 who have already achieved excellent grades at NCEA Level 3 can study Chemistry (Waikato), Physics (Waikato) and Statistics (Auckland) in the Sciences and Philosophy (Waikato) in the Humanities. These subjects are either taught by staff from the college under license from Waikato, or are delivered online with staff acting as tutors. It is hoped to increase the range of subjects offered in the future.

RNPA Intensive - Learning Experience
"In a year's time after taking the RNPA Learning Intensive, my career, my health, my family, my very life has been transformed. I am forever grateful" — Karen DiMarco, RN, iRNPA
"The way of the future of nursing...an absolute must if you want to make and be the difference in righting the wrongs of healthcare. Kare is a wonderful mentor who has put her soul into this program. Passion, Vision, Perseverance." — Lana Benton, RN, iRNPA
"The forethought, experience, openness, philosophy and preparation provides all the tools, thought process, and confidence to begin and succeed as an iRNPA." — Leta Gill, RN, iRNPA
"My experience attending the iRNPA program was a refreshing one, to say the least. This program was packed with life changing information that is not readily taught or available to RN's. This program equipped me with the tools I need to be an iRNPA! If you are ready for a change after working for many years in the clinical setting, and are driven to help patients and families, this is the program for you! Karen is a wealth of knowledge that is unmatched in the advocacy process." — Jamie Long
"Thank you so much for putting together such an incredible RN PA intensive course! It is truly intensive but so worth it! I learned a lot and will be using the Medical Time Line and lab spreadsheet with as many clients as i can. All great information and can't wait to get my speaking engagements lined up now that I have your fantastic power points!" — Nan Wetherhorn, Health Care Advisor, www.healthcareadvisornan.com
Use it or lose it! 32% reduced risk of dementia if you keep your brain very active! 48% greater risk if you do not. Wait! There is more. . .ShareThis
A study published in the journal Neurology, described in HealthDay, explains the amazing finding that "one-third of people die in old age with little or no signs of problems with thinking, learning or memory, yet when brain autopsies are done, they actually have clear evidence of Alzheimer's disease" -Robert S. Wilson, Ph.D., professor, neurological sciences and behavioral sciences, Rush University Medical Center)"They [technically] have the disease, but it's not expressed clinically."
How does doing intellectually challenging activities save your brain function? Professor Wilson explains "The brain tries to constantly adapt to the challenges it's asked to do. [It] is experience dependent. Activities that are sustained are going to impact its structure and function. And cognitive circuits that are elaborately structured and functioning very well are able to adapt when the inevitable onslaught of aging occurs."
So how can we do this? Start quilting, tying flies, going birding. Learn Morse code or Italian! There are thousands of interesting hobbies to develop that engage your brain in learning activities – that include a combination of challenges and the need to focus and concentrate. READ! Read every day. Learn something new every day. Crosswords or Sudoku are okay, but not enough.
And move…daily physical activity is a critical factor as well.
Here's to saving our brains. Read on. . .
Homocysteine: a key to a healthy aging brain and healthy hearts. What is homocysteine you ask?ShareThis
Homocysteine is a naturally occurring amino acid (protein) in the blood that requires vitamin B12, folic acid, and other vitamins to be converted to another essential amino acid – methionine, which is protective of your heart. The normal role of homocysteine in the body is to control growth and support bone and tissue formation. When homocysteine levels rise, they quickly begin to damage the cells and tissues of arteries and stimulate arteriosclerotic plaque growth (hardening of the arteries).
Deficiencies in folic acid (folate), vitamin B6, vitamin B12, or betaine may lead to hyperhomocysteinemia, a medical condition characterized by high levels of homocysteine in the blood. Cigarette smoking, caffeine and alcoholism can also raise homocysteine levels.
What health effects does high homocysteine have? This can be one of the cause agents of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and may also increase the tendency to create blood clots. Atherosclerosis raises the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Dr. Andrew Weil explains also that "some evidence suggests that people with high homocysteine levels have twice the normal risk of developing Alzheimer's disease."
In a recent study, researchers from the University of Western Australia and Royal Perth Hospital recruited 358 people over the age of 50 to determine if homocysteine levels may be associated with cognitive impairment in older adults with depressive symptoms.
The researchers found that people who had major depression and high homocysteine levels performed significantly worse on the cognitive tests. Participants who had high homocysteine levels without major depression had lower scores than those with normal homocysteine levels. Furthermore, those with high homocysteine levels were almost twice more likely to show cognitive decline on several tests.
|What foods raise homocysteine levels? A diet high in animal protein will raise homocysteine levels while plant protein foods – peas, beans and nuts – can help to lower them.
What food lower homocysteine levels? Interestingly, foods that are high in folate (folic acid) can help to lower homocysteine levels. Consider adding: chickpeas, spinach, egg yolk, parsley, pumpkin seeds, almonds, broccoli, walnuts, whole egg, avocado, oranges.
Foods rich in Vitamin B12 can also be effective: mackerel, salmon, trout, egg yolk, lamb, whole egg, beef, tuna, cottage cheese, chicken and cow's milk.
Are any supplements helpful? Considering the fact that folic acid (folate) is one of the most common vitamin deficiencies in the Western world, adding that would be beneficial – typically in the form of folate rather than folic acid. Vitamins B6 and B12 will also assist in lowering high homocysteine.
Testing? If you are at risk for heart attacks or strokes, or think you may be, ask your physician. This is a simple blood test that most insurance plans cover.
Would it be helpful to learn a bit more to consider whether or not you are at risk?

I have passed from this world due to a terminal condition. I died in the arms of my loving 'ma' and 'pa'. May we be reunited again in the next world.
It's been a busy year sitting in the window looking at the cars going by; sleeping on the couch, bed, or recliner; managing how the housework is done; and chasing off Tippy when I want to be loved or sleep with my best friend (my owner).
I recently learned how to look out the front picture window like my sister, Tippy. I plop myself across the table and halfway jump twice from the table to get into the window. Tippy and I fight for position sometimes, but we both can agree to look out at the same time sometimes.

The mood: there was nothing too upbeat about Damir Doma's fall / winter 2013 show, but the muddy, muted colours were balanced out by sporty relaxed cuts.
The influence: early 20th century Bauhaus meets retro ski gear. The former in boxy jacket cuts, geometric lines, and high waists; the latter in alpine inspired pieces reworked for daily life as zip up sweaters, pants with high elasticised waist bands and weatherproof windbreakers.
Stand outs: patterned knits and beanies, relaxed leather pants.
You can see all of the Damir Doma autumn (fall) / winter 2013 runway collection by clicking on a thumbnail on the left. From there you can browse through each of the pictures from the fashion show.

FY2012 Applications Renewal starts on August 1, 2011
Supercomputing Facility (SC) accounts expire on August 31. All user accounts for all platforms (Eos, Hydra and Lonestar) will expire at the end of the current fiscal year (FY2011), August 31, 2011. All balances will be zeroed out at the end of that day. This happens every year at the end of August as we transition from the end of the current fiscal year to the next.
Submit application for FY2012 during August 1-18. To secure uninterrupted access to processing on any of the above systems, you must submit an application no later than August 18. If it is for a large allocation, it must also be approved by the Steering Committee by August 31. Students can only submit an application for a Basic Allocation. Postdocs and Research Associates can apply for a Basic or a Small Allocation. PI's, in addition to Basic and Small, can apply for a Large Allocation. An application for a Large Allocation is recommended if PI's plan to sub-allocate chunks of time to collaborators in computation intensive projects.
How do I submit an application for an allocation? Submit an application at https://sc.tamu.edu/forms.
What if I do not have an approved allocation by September 1? In such a case, you will not be able to run batch jobs. You will be able to only login and carry out minor interactive processing up to October 1. On that date, if you still do not have an approved application, your account will be shut down, and you will lose login access as well.
How do I speed up approval of my application? Providing correct and adequate information helps a lot. Two things that commonly cause delays are grossly inadequate research descriptions and incorrect specification of the PI's NetID and e-mail address. Sometimes a weak justification for a large allocation can also cause delay.
You can submit an application for a FY2012 allocation any time you want; however, to ensure uninterrupted access to computing on SC resources as we pass from FY2011 to FY2012, make sure you submit by August 18.

Media conservatives return to ACORN funding bogeyman to attack health care reform
Media conservatives, including The Weekly Standard and Andrew Breitbart's Big Government, are attacking the Senate health care reform bill by citing a general provision in the legislation to raise the possibility that ACORN would receive funding under the bill. Conservatives similarly attacked the economic recovery act and the financial rescue legislation by invoking the possibility that ACORN would receive funding through general legislative provisions -- at one point claiming that ACORN would receive more than $4 billion in funding.
Media conservatives raise fears that health care reform would "funnel money" to ACORN
Weekly Standard: "ACORN qualifies for funding in Senate health care bill." A December 21 Weekly Standard blog post [1], headlined "ACORN qualifies for funding in Senate health care bill," asserted, "Senator Roland Burris is claiming credit for a provision in Harry Reid's 'manager's amendment,' unveiled Saturday morning, that could funnel money to ACORN through the health care bill." The post further stated:
According to page 241 of the amendment:
In carrying out this subsection, the Secretary, acting through the Deputy Assistant Secretary, shall award grants, contracts, enter into memoranda of understanding, cooperative, interagency, intra-agency and other agreements with public and nonprofit private entities, agencies, as well as Departmental and Cabinet agencies and organizations, and with organizations that are indigenous human resource providers in communities of color to assure improved health status of racial and ethnic minorities, and shall develop measures to evaluate the effectiveness of activities aimed at reducing health disparities and supporting the local community. Such measures shall evaluate community outreach activities, language services, workforce cultural competence, and other areas as determined by the Secretary.''
According to a Senate legislative aide, the scandal-plagued Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now could qualify for grants under this provision. ACORN would also qualify for funding on page 150 of the underlying Reid bill [2], which says that "community and consumer-focused nonprofit groups" may receive grants to "conduct public education activities to raise awareness of the availability of qualified health plans."
A December 21 post [3] at BigGovernment.com quoted extensively from and linked to the Weekly Standard post.
Neither Senate bill nor manager's amendment mentions ACORN
Senate bill, manager's amendment contain no language mentioning ACORN. Media Matters for America searched the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act [4] and Reid's manager's amendment [5]. Neither bill contains language specific to ACORN.
Conservatives previously cited ACORN to attack legislation that did not contain language mentioning the group
Media claimed Democrats were attempting to direct millions of dollars in government money to ACORN in the financial bailout bill. During debate over the 2008 financial bailout bill, media figures advanced [6] the claim that Democrats sought to direct millions in funding to ACORN. Neither the draft proposal [7] nor the final version [8] of the bill contained any language mentioning ACORN. Those making the false claim were misrepresenting a provision -- later removed [9] -- that would have directed 20 percent of any profits realized on troubled assets purchased under the plan into two previously established funds: the Housing Trust Fund and the Capital Magnet Fund, funds that would have been distributed [10] by the Department of Housing and Urban Development in the form of block grants to states, which would then award grants to qualified applicants.
Media figures adopted GOP spin that economic recovery act awarded funds to ACORN. During the legislative debate over the 2009 Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Act, numerous [11] media [12] figures [13] adopted [14] the GOP spin that the stimulus bill awarded funds to ACORN, despite the fact that no language in the legislation mentioned the group. At one point, conservative radio host Bill Cunningham claimed [12] the legislation gave "up to $4.2 trillion" to ACORN.
