- To open the Address Book, open the E-mail application and do one of the following:
- Click on the Address Book tab.
- Click the Address button to the right of the To: field in the Compose E-mail screen.
- Click on the Address Book tab.
- The Address Book displays a list of all contacts, including a "name," "primary e-mail address," "display name," and "home phone" for each. Click on the "primary e-mail address" attribute (displayed as a link) and the Compose Message window opens allowing you to create and send a message to that contact. Click on the "display name" attribute (also displayed as a link) and you can edit information for the contact.
- Use the drop-down View menu to filter the displayed list of contacts by logically related groups that you create. Select the group from the menu, and all contacts in that group are displayed. To Edit the group, click the Edit Group button.
- You also see an "All" button and a series of letters from A to Z. These buttons allow you to display all contacts or to toggle contact display alphabetically.
- The icons in the tool bar allow you to get mail, compose a message, and delete contacts. To delete contacts, you can select any number of contacts (using the checkboxes by their names) and click the Delete icon to remove them from your address book.

"I assumed that biography and autobiography are closely related literary forms," said Tristram. "Nothing could be farther from the truth. They are opposite in intention. The biographer sets out to tell the bald, unvarnished truth. The autobiographer sets out to slap so much varnish on his or her life that you can't see what's underneath and can't tell what's true and what's not true. The biographer tells someone else's story. The autobiographer tells his own story - and lies about it!"
I had gone back to my autobiography-writing class after an absence, and nothing had changed. Certainly, our tutor, Tristram, hadn't changed at all. He was still big and bearded and bellowing. He was like Brian Blessed, but larger and louder.
"Why would an autobiographer want to tell lies?" said Ursula.
Ursula was a lady of leisure who had joined the group to learn how to write her autobiography simply in order to get her own back on her mother. From what we had seen of it so far, Ursula's mother looked likely to be the first parent in history to sue her child for libel.
"It's all to do with love," said Tristram. "The worst biographies are written by people who are in love with their subject. They cannot see things straight. The best biographies are written by writers who are somewhat scornful of their subjects. But all autobiographers are already in love with their subject and therefore they wish to protect them from the cruel gaze of the public. An autobiographer is not a detective - he is a bodyguard. We all love ourselves. Do you love yourself, Roger?"
Roger was the least fathomable member of the class. He wore a bow tie and said nothing except when invited to, at which point it always became clear he was the best-read person in the class. (It turned out later he had been a spy, and tact and caution were a way of life for him.)
"Yes, I love myself," said Roger, "but not in such a way as to make anyone else jealous."
"Brilliant," said Tristram. "I love remarks that sound deep and actually mean damn all. But when I say that the best biographers have slight scorn for their subject, who do you think I am thinking of?"
"That man who wrote a life of Laurens van der Post?" I suggested. "And found out that Van der Post had invented almost everything in his life?"
"Now there's an example of an autobiographer who loved himself!" cried Tristram. "Van der Post loved himself so much, he completely reshaped himself. It took the biographer to strip off the varnish. But no, I was not thinking of Van der Post. I was thinking of Jesus."
We stirred uneasily. Had Jesus actually written an autobiography? If so, we must have missed it.
"The Bible is unique in that it contains four separate biographies of the same man," said Tristram. "The life of Jesus by Matthew. Then by Mark and Luke and John. For anyone else, it would be showbiz overkill. For Jesus, I suppose it makes marketing sense. But there is one life of Jesus that is missing from the New Testament and that would have made the others all come to life. Who would that have been by, anyone?"
A pause.
"Jesus' own life story?" said Ursula.
"Phooey," said Tristram. "From what little we know of Jesus' prose style, it would have been awful. A mishmash of parables and allegories, with a few recipes thrown in. Water into wine... five loaves and two small fishes... No, I am thinking of the life of Jesus as it would have been written by Doubting Thomas. The one disciple who had reservations about Jesus. The one biographer that book we would have rushed out to buy the book of!"
It was such a staggering thought that, as usual, we ignored Tristram's excitable grammar.

COPPA Changes Bring New Safeguards, Loopholes
Legislators on Capitol Hill went back to the drawing board recently when it comes to safeguarding children online. COPPA, or the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, has been on the books since 1998, but in the 14 year since its inception, little has changed to keep up with the Internet's hurried advancements. Under the helm of Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), the Senate Commerce Committee and FTC has introduced new regulations under COPPA meant to protect kids online from data tracking for marketing and advertising profit, according to MediaPost's Wendy Davis.
While COPPA expressly prohibited the collection of personal data of children under 13 surfing the web, the regulation previously only referred to personal data as contact information, i.e., addresses and phone numbers. The FTC's latest regulation also defines personal data as cookies, IP addresses, and more, which advertisers could previously use to profile and target children online.
Not everyone agrees with the latest changes to COPPA. Some, including advertisers, argue that the newest changes to the regulation move it away from its original intent – to protect children from physical danger.
"Ad industry groups generally said that the 14-year-old COPPA was aimed at preventing strangers from contacting children and placing them in physical danger," Davis said. "They objected to the changes, arguing that cookies aren't comparable to phone numbers or street addresses because people can't use cookies to directly contact a child."
But, what does COPPA have in store for social-networking sites (the vast majority of which weren't around when COPPA first came to Capitol Hill)?
Well, according to Mashable, collecting a child's personal data is only prohibited when expressly used for behavioral or data-driven advertising. So, sites like Facebook can still market to children with in-stream advertising that includes "content relevant to what's on a given page," says Mashable's Alex Fitzpatrick.
But, with fuzzy language and ambiguous definitions, social-networking sties often ban users under 13 years old in lieu of complying to COPPA. However, with COPPA's new, even larger loophole for advertisers, will sites find cleverer ways to advertise to Internet-surfing tots?
As I know according to COPPA provisions, an operator of a website directed at children must obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting or using any personal information from children visiting the website. In addition, the operator must also implement a reliable method for determining the age of the website's users, and whether any of the users are under the age of 13.

Fewer food choices don't help weight loss: study
(Reuters) - Reducing people's options for junk foods helps them to cut back on the amount of calories they take in, but it doesn't reduce their overall calorie load or help them lose weight, according to a U.S. study.
"Limiting variety was helpful for reducing intake for that type of food group, but it appeared that compensation occurred in other parts of the diet," said Hollie Raynor, a professor at the University of Tennessee and lead author of the study.
The results of the study, which appeared in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, offer a cautionary note to dieters who may be limiting their food variety - such as by cutting out carbs - to be watchful of all calories coming in, not just those from the targeted food group.
Previous studies have shown that people with less variety in their diets tend to be more successful in losing weight and keeping it off, and Raynor said she wanted to see if restricting options for high-calorie, low-nutrition foods, such as ice cream, cookies and chips, could help people lose weight.
Raynor's team asked 200 overweight and obese adults to make lifestyle changes aimed at losing weight. These included taking part in group meetings that discussed healthy behavior, eating a calorie-reduced diet and increasing physical activity.
Half of the people were also told to limit the junk food in their diet to just two options with the idea that monotony in the menu leads to a lack of interest in the food.
Over the 18 months of the study, people in the limited junk food group ate fewer types of treats each day - two to three - than the other group, which ate about four. They also ate fewer daily calories from junk food.
At six and 12 months into the study, the people in the low-variety group ate about 100 fewer junk food calories each day than the other group. By the end of the study, they were eating 80 fewer junk food calories each day.
Both groups ate less total calories over the course of the study, and lost weight. But the overall reduction in calories and weight loss - around 4.5 kilograms (10 lbs.) - was the same in each group. Continued...

HI guys, I've had an old DP97 for about 8 years but I was so dissappointed with it I never put it on display.
Well I've finally decided to try and make something of it as I await the arrival of my bobamaker helmet (cant wait :) ) I've been inspired to convert it into a white prepro helmet after seeing Gino's superb white DP deluxe 8) and a love for the white Fett concept art.
The first thing I needed to do was correct some of the warping as it was in a pretty bad shape. 10 minutes in the oven at 80 degrees celcius (Do so at your own risk) and an hour cooling time in a wooden box packed with towels really made a difference. It has quite a nice flair now though there is some wobblyness still apparent along the bottom perimiter of the helmet.
Next I thought Id try to improve the dome. I happen to have a GI (ww2 I think) helmet which has a plastic liner helmet that sits inside the metal shell. I trimmed the top off the plastic liner and cut a hole in the top of the boba helmet. The liner top then sat into the hole I cut quite nicely and I glued it in place. It was sealed and gaps filled with milliput putty. I intend to smooth out the contour of the dome with bondo so the join is seemless.
Im not entirely happy with the shape of the dome because he looks abit like an egg head but its an improvement on the standard table top dome at least.
Unfortunatley I got so caught up in working on this that I didnt take any pics leading up to where Im at. Heres how its looking at the moment. As soon as Im finished with the dome I'l move on to cutting the t-visor and keyslots and smoothing out the text on the back.
Even though the DP97 is quite small I was suprised how well it holds up against my SDS Stomrtrooper helmets (which are pretty big, significantly bigger than other ST helmets). I suppose the extra flair and dome height makes a diffrence.
Now Im trying to find images of the white prepro suit so I can start thinking about paint schemes. Can anyone help me source refference photos of the white prepro suit?
Im particularly looking for the photo(s) of the white prepro suit with Lucas in shot adjusting the suit.
Ive trawled through the board and the internet looking for photos but to no avail.
Thanks guys :albino

Serves 4
Tropical Fruit Purée:
1 each small cantaloupe, peeled, seeds discarded
1/2 each fresh pineapple, peeled and cored
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons roughly chopped cilantro
Sugar to taste
Crab Salad:
2 cups jumbo crabmeat, carefully picked over
1-1/2 tablespoons minced jalapeño pepper
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1-1/2 tablespoons fish sauce (nuoc nam)*
2 tablespoons roughly chopped cilantro leaves
1/2 cup halved fresh avocado, with the pit removed
1/4 cup diced fresh mango
*Available at Asian markets
For the Tropical Fruit Purée:
Purée the melon in a food processor fitted with a metal blade and pour the mixture into a medium-size bowl. Purée the pineapple and add it to the melon purée. Add lemon juice and mix the purée thoroughly. Tie up the chopped cilantro in a 5-inch square of cheesecloth. Add the cilantro sachet to the purée. Cover and refrigerate at least 1/2 hour or overnight. Before serving, add a pinch of sugar if necessary.
For the Crab Salad:
Combine crabmeat, jalapeño, lemon juice and fish sauce in a medium-size mixing bowl. Fold carefully with a rubber spatula to prevent breaking up the lumps of crabmeat. Place a ring mold (or a round cookie cutter that is about 2 inches tall and 2-1/2 inches wide) on each of four chilled plates. With a teaspoon, scoop 2 tablespoons of avocado from the shell and place at the bottom of the mold. Pack down lightly with the back of the spoon. Place 1 tablespoon of mango on top of the avocado, and press it down gently. Place a final layer of the crabmeat mixture and smooth off the top with the flat side of a knife. Lift the ring mold off carefully. Repeat this process on the remaining plates.
To Finish and Serve:
Ladle the tropical fruit purée around the edges of the crab mold and serve chilled.

What is the Downtown Dartmouth Plan Update project about?
The Downtown Dartmouth Municipal Planning Strategy (the Plan), adopted in 2000, envisioned a bustling downtown core by adding new residents and businesses while maintaining a walkable, small town feel, good design and public access to the waterfront. In spite of many positive changes, limited growth has been realized in downtown Dartmouth over the past 14 years. The current policies do not utilize some of the new planning tools that can encourage good urban design.
The current Plan contains community design goals, but lacks clarity for permitted heights and does not adequately implement architectural design requirements such as setback of buildings from streets or from adjacent properties. The intent of the Downtown Dartmouth Plan Update is to help realize the vision of a lively downtown by strengthening existing planning tools and policies.
Why is this process taking place right now?
In 2011, Regional Council initiated a process to amend the Downtown Dartmouth Plan and Land Use By-law to address:
1. Changes in the View Planes from the Dartmouth Common and Brightwood Golf Course, and
2. Building height, form and design in the Business and Waterfront Districts of Downtown Dartmouth
The view plane work is complete, and the focus of the current process is on proposed new land use and heritage policies, design guidelines and a development approval process to regulate building, height, form and design. The intent behind the changes is to advance the vision of the Regional Plan and the vision of the Plan. We want to ensure that new developments complement and enhance local streets and neighbourhoods, protect valuable public views and provide access to the waterfront. This process is not specific to any development proposal.
Why is the public invited to comment on the proposals?
Public input is highly valued in any planning process. The first phase of community consultation (held in January of 2014) helped staff select a preferred approach to regulating building heights designs. The focus of the second phase of public consultation is on presenting and asking public feedback on the recommended option for height and building form precincts. Participants will also have the opportunity to comment on conceptual land use policies, design guidelines and a new proposed development approval process. The key questions for this round of public consultations are:
"Will the proposed changes help us realize the vision for Downtown Dartmouth?", and "What public amenities does Downtown Dartmouth need?".
How does this process fit in with the Regional Plan and the Centre Plan?
Downtown Dartmouth is part of Halifax's Regional Centre, the symbolic, cultural and economic heart of the region. The Regional Plan targets at least 25% of all future growth to the Regional Centre. This growth will be shaped using the principles of sustainability, high quality, protection and enhancement of heritage, culture, transportation choices and complete neighbourhoods. The Centre Plan, when adopted, will provide a holistic guidance for policies, programs and regulations to address future growth and development in Halifax Peninsula and Dartmouth within the arc of the Circumferential Highway.
Who will make the final decision?
Planning staff will prepare policies and regulations for the consideration of the Heritage Advisory Committee, Harbour East-Marine Drive Community Council and Regional Council. Regional Council will make a decision to hold a public hearing on the process as part of the official approval process.
What is the overall process for this project?
How is development currently being regulated?
Within the Business District, low-rise buildings of up to 5-storeys are permitted as-of-right. Within the Waterfront District, the limit is 3-storeys. Taller buildings are required to go through a development agreement process, which includes public consultation, a public hearing and a decision by Council. There is currently no clear guidance on maximum desirable heights, and no guidance as to where taller buildings are appropriate with the exception of a few opportunity sites.
How will this process advance the daylighting of Sawmill Creek?
This downtown plan update process is not related to the open space and heritage interpretation design process being undertaken for the Canal Greenway between Sullivan's Pond and Halifax Harbour, so therefore does not address the
possibility of restoring a surface stream. That issue will be addressed by Halifax Water and council through the current design exercise underway for the Canal Greenway.
Will streetscape improvements will considered, such as sidewalks on the north side of Alderney Dr?
Streetscape improvements are not being considered as part of the proposed Plan Amendments. The Centre Plan project will delve into the larger policy questions around Streetscapes in the Regional Centre, as well as specific pedestrian network improvements. You can find more information on that project here
How do developers increasing density of residential/ office area contribute to increases stress on fire, hospital and police systems?
Planning, Fire, and Police work together to understand the long range impacts of policy decision to ensure that service matches the expected population. Increased residential and office area density has been empirically linked to better (and lower cost) service for fire and police response, but there is an equilibrium point at whihc the stresses on municipal systems become too great. The hospital system services are regional and therefore largely unaffected by residential and office densities in specific sub-areas.
What requirements will site design standards include (i.e. open space, trees, fences, ooverhead wires, viewscapes)?
The Land Use Bylaw will contain revised requirements related to landscaping and amenity space and may address the need for visual buffers such as fences. View corridors, looking along many streets toward the harbour, are already protected
from encroachment by development and will remain so. Undergrounding of overhead utility wires is a matter that Regional Council must first consider as part of an overall streetscape improvement plan.
For each development scenario what would be the maximum height for any building erected on the old city hall site?
As was done for the rest of the study area, three height scenarios were modelled for the old city hall site.
These heights were 22 m (7 floors), 33.5 m (10 floors) and 43 m (14 floors), and were based on the premise that the taller a building is, the smaller the floorplates are.
An appropriate height for the site will be determined based on the massing and shadow study and on other considerations such as the proximity of the ferry terminal park.
What are the exact boundaries of zoned parkland for the development area? Is there an appropriate map showing the areas now zoned as parkland?
There are many HRM-owned park parcels within the downtown Dartmouth planning area, where the PK (Park) Zone has been applied. These can be seen using HRM's online Geographic Information System which can be
accessed here.
What building heights are being proposed?
Based on the vision and principles of the Downtown Dartmouth Plan, and public input received in January 2014, staff commissioned a shadow analysis for a number of different building heights and built form scenarios in the study area. The approach is based on five character precincts and a range of building heights that can complement and enhance existing streets and neighbourhoods. The precincts are based on the current Plan, but slight boundary changes may be required.
See the Library for more information on Shadow Analysis and 3 build-our scenarions.
What are precincts?
Precincts are administrative boundaries or areas which are defined in planning documents to help focus and direct land uses, define appropriate character for development, protect heritage, and guide public investment.
As part of the current planning process, detailed design policies are proposed for five of the nine precincts.
See the Library for more information on the 9 proposed precincts.
How were the proposed precincts determined? Will they change?
The draft character precincts were defined based on policy direction in the existing planning documents, on past public input, and on an assessment of the community by staff. Changes will be made to reflect community input.
What design guidelines will be introduced?
The design guidelines will address building form, architectural design, landscape design, general urban design, and heritage design. They will be based on public input,
shadow analysis and character studies of downtown Dartmouth streetscapes. The guidelines will also be derived from lessons learned in Downtown Halifax, and they will be formalized in the Downtown Dartmouth Design Manual. Under the current legislative framework, the design guidelines can only be implemented using a new development approval process referred to as the site plan approval process.
See the Library for more information on design guidelines.
What is a site plan approval process?
Site plan approval is a development approval process enabled under the
Halifax Regional Municipality Charter. It is proposed that that process replace the use of development agreements in Downtown Dartmouth Business and Waterfront Districts. This process can help to improve clarity, predictability and timeliness in the development approval process. Under site plan approval, the approval of any development application will occur in two parts:
(1) By-Law Review (measurable elements) based on prescriptive criteria;
(2) Design Review (aesthetic elements).
The design review for the development of new buildings and most building additions is still to be determined but may include a Council-appointed Design Review Committee comprised of a team of professionals.
See the Library for more information
Are there other planning processes taking place in Downtown Dartmouth?
Several significant public and private redevelopment projects in the Dartmouth Cove area are planned including:
A. Portland Street/Alderney Drive/Prince Albert Road Intersection Improvements
B. Sullivan's Pond Storm Sewer Renewal
C. Shubenacadie Canal Greenway
D. Dartmouth Cove Comprehensive Master Plan
E. Area Developments: Several significant multi-unit residential developments that have been approved, or are proposed to be considered, by the Municipality in the area. They include: Irishtown Road ; King's Wharf ; WDC-1 Site (Alderney Dr./King St./Prince St.); Harbourvista (Portland St./Maitland St.)
It is expected that some of the current multi-unit development proposals may be some of the first developments to be reviewed under the new policy framework, if approved by Council.
If heights are not amended, will the design guidelines still be introduced?
Design and built form measures are needed for all buildings, regardless of height and are needed to improve the quality of new developments.
How will the new policies address housing for families?
It is expected that the Downtown Plan's requirement of diversity of housing units in new developments such as townhouses or 3-bedroom units will be carried forward under the revised policies.
Will density bonus policies be used?
The proposed heights are the maximum allowable heights. The Halifax Regional Municipality Charter requires that density bonusing in the Regional Centre (outside of Downtown Halifax) include affordable housing for modest to low-income households. The Municipality currently does not have a mechanism in place to enforce affordability provisions in private developments. Therefore, density bonusing may not be used at this time.

Hope Therapy at Moody Gardens was inspired by the son of Foundation Trustee Robert L. Moody, who sustained a head injury in an automobile accident and who subsequently discovered the healing benefits of therapy utilizing animals and nature. Opening in January 1986, Hope Therapy became the cornerstone of Moody Gardens, an internationally recognized program that offered rehabilitative horseback-riding (Hippotherapy) to mentally and to physically disabled individuals.
Today's Hope Therapy offers Horticultural Therapy, through which individuals with disabilities can improve sensory awareness and motor abilities, regain confidence, and learn new skills to prepare for employment opportunities. The massive greenhouse and Rainforest Pyramid at Moody Gardens are tended in part by these special clients.
Vocational Training, or Supported Employment also is an important part of the program. This provides the opportunity for individuals with disabilities to develop the necessary skills to gain and maintain a job. Moody Gardens employs many of these individuals on a full and part-time basis. Job coaching is provided, as needed.

COMMUNICATING NEW MEMBERSHIP STANDARDS TO DONORSShortly after the announcement of the January 1, 2014, change in membership standards, the Development and Corporate Alliances Department provided local councils with draft communications to provide to donors. It is critical that donors hear the real story from you and are not left to read the interpretations and analyses in the media. While people will make their own decision whether to continue to support your local council, they do need to hear from you. Read more.
RETURNING CONTRIBUTIONS TO DONORSThere have been some questions as to the appropriate response if a donor asks for the return of a contribution. Most contributions that a local council solicits are for "unrestricted operating" funds. For gifts older than maybe a few months, the gifts have already been spent to benefit the kids and programs in which they have always believed. For very recent gifts, maybe give donors the chance to redesignate to some aspect of Scouting they still support. The council might consider establishing a de minimis rule for redesignation—e.g, any gift over $1,000, if made since January 1, 2013, may be redesignated (but not given back). Read more.
NEW SCOUTING ALUMNI ASSOCIATION MEMBERSHIP LEVELS AND BENEFITSAt the National Annual Meeting in May, the Alumni Relations Committee announced two membership levels in the Scouting Alumni Association: the Hiker Level, which is free, and Pathfinder Level, offered at $35. Read more.
FEASIBILITY STUDIES FOR CAPITAL CAMPAIGNSThe importance of conducting feasibility studies prior to embarking on a capital campaign is discussed in the article Feasibility Studies: An Unnecessary Expense Designed to Make Consultants Rich, or an Important Part of Your Next Fundraising Campaign? in the June 2013 GuideStar. It states that conducting a feasibility study prior to your capital campaign will "help you evaluate your chances of success…ease your board members' minds...fine-tune your plans to fit what is possible, [and]…build the credibility and confidence you need for a successful campaign." Feasibility studies for major gifts and capital campaigns are facilitated by the Council Fund Development Team to help local councils determine if they are ready to embark on a capital or major gifts campaign. Read more.
VEHICLE DONATION PROGRAM BENEFITS SCOUTSAs the summer months are upon us, we want to update you on one of our more progressive strategic alliances. The One Car One Difference program continues to gain traction with local councils across the country. In doing so, councils that are engaged in this important partnership are experiencing the real outcomes the program has to offer—funds for creating and sustaining programs that positively impact youth in their communities. As the official vehicle donation program, One Car One Difference has created a donation experience that is seamless and donor friendly. Read more.
10 REASONS TO BECOME CFRE CERTIFIEDThe Boy Scouts of America is pleased to be working with the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) to offer the AFP Fundamentals of Fundraising course to Boy Scout professionals. It is the first time the AFP has contracted with another nonprofit organization to offer their course content, certification, and continuing education credits. Read more.
BSA ASSET MANAGEMENT UPDATE—APRIL 2013Forty-seven local council affiliated partners representing $91.6 million in assets now use BSA Asset Management, LLC (BSAAM) as an investment manager as of April 30, 2013. In the three months ending April 30, the fund earned 4.02 percent, while the one-year return was 12.67 percent. Read more.

Thank you to The Wrap, we have just learned that there may be, FINALLY, a 2-hour finale!! "CBS is giving "Big Brother" fans more to love. The network has decided to double the show's Tuesday, Sept. 15 season finale, expanding it from one hour to two, insiders close to the production confirm. The grande-sized "Brother"…Details
As anyone who has had the live feeds knows, Chima Simone, who was expelled from the Big Brother House, was using the word "terrorist" to describe fellow housemate Russell. What wasn't shown on television however was just how often she used the term, and HOW she used the term. On television, the one time they showed her saying it, it was pretty mellow, and she explained it away as "He is terrorizing the people in the house." However, that is NOT what she meant. All week long while she was HOH, she compared him to 9/11 and herself as the World Trade Center. At one point, when Natalie couldn't see him on the HOH cam, Chima pointed him out saying look, he blends in, that's what terrorists do. This went on and on and on all week. So for her to now say that isn't what she meant, well, that is exactly what she meant.
This apology was e-mailed from Chima to her place of employment, HollyScoop.com, who has reportedly received many protests about her behavior in the house. Make of it what you will. Click "Read more" to see the whole apology, then come visit us in the forum to talk about it.Details

Is this bad??
1 Attachment(s)
Hi guys, the last few times I started up my car I've been smelling something... exhaust fumes? gas? I don't really know, but it's very strong. Today I pulled the car out and looked at the ground where it was parked (picture attached) and it seems like there's a lot of leakage since the last time I moved the car which was 2 days before this. Any idea what this is and how bad it is? Is it safe to continue driving for now?
Only you can determine what it is. It could be oil, coolant, water, or gasoline. You need to touch it when it is fresh and smell it. Also, there is a big difference between the smell of exhaust fumes and the smell of raw gasoline. Either way, it is a serious deal, and merely begs the question of which way you prefer to die; asphyxiation or burns. You should get your car on a lift and examine the fuel lines and the exhaust system.
It doesn't smell like raw gasoline. It must be exhaust fumes, just way worse than what's normal.
I also smelled the liquid on the ground and it didn't have any distinct smell to it.
Guess I need to find a lift and have someone look at it.
Thank you
Check the crankcase ventilation piping, it could be oil/water blow off if the connection on the bottom of the intake plenum is disconnected.
I had that smell when the oil catch can I was using was hooked up wrong, the stuff smells TERRIBLE! Oil/Gas nastiness...

Hello, I am pleased to join the cadillac community.
My experienced with cadillac started in 1971 to the present ranging in Coupe De Ville to my 1996 SLS Seville. I am a DIY mechanic so I take on all challenges and the cadillac can be a challenge.
My latest challenge was to replace the evaporator in the 96 Seville. Of course dropping the engine was not an option so I cut it out. So far I am still alive.
I have used this site for technical reference so I have been impressed with the enthusiasts that exist on this site and will definitely need their support.

Who to believe? Abe Lincoln's National Academy.
Notes: President Lincoln created the National Academy in 1963 because state-of-the art military technology was crucial to the Union war effort. Since science is a highly contentious process of argument and counter-argument, the President needed an objective body to assess all the evidence and summarize the consensus among top experts. Every President since has asked the NAS to perform similar scientific assessments on questions of national importance.
President Bush asked the NAS, more than once, to provide assessments on the "state of the science" regarding climate.
Here's what the latest (2010) National Academy assessment concluded about climate change:
"A strong, credible body of scientific evidence shows that climate change is occurring, is caused largely by human activities, and poses significant risks for a broad range of human and natural systems...
Some scientific conclusions or theories have been so thoroughly examined and tested, and supported by so many independent observations and results, that their likelihood of subsequently being found to be wrong is vanishingly small. Such conclusions and theories are then regarded as settled facts. This is the case for the conclusions that the Earth system is warming and that much of this warming is very likely due to human activities." (NAS, Advancing the Science of Climate Change, 2010, p 21.)

AAA—Iowa 8, Omaha 7; Completion of 6/14 Game—Iowa 9, Omaha 5
Steve Clevenger hit a pair of two-run homers and Donnie Murphy blasted a grand slam as Iowa hung on and beat Omaha. The I-Cubs also won the completed game from the rain delay on Friday night, scoring four runs in the sixth to break a 5-5 tie.
At the Plate: Steve Clevenger has gotten the attention of the Cubs front office, and he's not on twitter. Clevenger, who was assigned to Iowa on June 3 for a rehab assignment, is hitting .417 in 10 games in AAA and on Saturday night blasted a pair of homers after going 3-3 with a homer on Friday. Junior Lake (.395) had a pair of hits and Murphy delivered the big blast with the bases full, going 1-2 with three walks.
On the Mound: Yoanner Negrin throws from a variety of arm angles, touches the mid 90s with his fastball, and still remains in Iowa despite being one of the most reliable arms for the I-Cubs. He made 14 appearances out of the bullpen to start the season (28.1 IP, 7 B, 37K, 2.51 ERA, .276 BAA) and made his fifth start Saturday night. His numbers have gone up as a stater going 1-1 with a 5.87 with 15 K and 6 BB in 15.1 IP. Against Omaha, he allowed a two-run homer, one of five hits and walked three in five innings, throwing 91 pitches. Barret Loux (4-2 5.66) made his second relief appearance yielding an unearned run on five hits in three innings with three punchouts, earning the win. Casey Coleman's streak of not allowing a run in 15.2 innings came to an end as the right-hander was charged with three earned runs in the ninth making the game interesting. Brain Schlitter (1.86) came in to get the final two outs for his third save.
Completion of June 14 game
Brett Jackson's single gave Iowa a 6-5 lead and Brad Nelson added a two-run base knock later in the I-Cubs four-run sixth. Jeffry Antigua threw an inning last night and came back for two more today earning the win. The lefty is making second stint at Iowa after bring promoted from Kane County. Antigua allowed two hits and fanned one. Larry Suarez promoted yesterday from Daytona, worked a scoreless ninth in his AAA debut. An account of the first six innings is in yesterday recap.
AA—Tennessee 5, Mississippi 2
Kyle Hendricks won his seventh game of the season and Arismendy Alcantara ripped two doubles and knocked in two as Tennessee (33-34) downed Mississippi (37-31) to break a four-game losing streak.
At the Plate: 1B Jonathan Mota hit his fifth long ball of the season with a two-run shot in the second. Mota hit a career-high 7HR in 2011, 5 coming in AAA. SS Alcantara (.290/.369/.479) doubled home two runs in the eighth and just missed a homer in the sixth, settling for a double. 3B Christian Villanueva went 2-3 with a sacrifice fly and is now hitting .257/.327/.426.
On the Mound: Watch Kyle Hendricks pitch and I doubt you'll be impressed. He won't light up any radar guns (FB-low 90s) and you probably won't be 'wowed' by any of his breaking balls. All the right-hander does is pound the strike zone and get outs. Based on his performance this season, the former Texas Ranger farmhand has stepped forward as the Cubs top pitching prospect in the upper levels. Entering Saturday night he was 3rd in the Southern League with 2.14 ERA and 8th in WHIP 1.08. In 71.1 IP he has 60 K and only 16 BB. In his last game vs. Braves, Hendricks allowed a season-high nine hits in a 6-0 loss. Hendricks was named Cubs Minor League Pitcher of the Month for May and Southern League Pitcher of the Week June 3-9. On Saturday night, it was another typical outing as he scattered eight hits over seven innings allowing just one run on a sacrifice fly in the fifth. Kevin Rhoderick (5.56 ERA) got his fourth hold with a scoreless eight and Frank Batista (2.03) allowed a run in the ninth.
Prospect Watch: Arismendy Alcantara is putting together what could be considered a breakout season if the shortstop can stay healthy. Injured part of the past two seasons, the 21-year-old has a career-high 9 HR and before Saturday night was hitting .286/.367/.470. The switch-hitter obviously feels more comfortable from the left side .310/.395/.536 vs. .227/292/.303 as a right-hander. Pitch recognition is a key for Alcantara as his walk rate is 8% batting right-handed and 12 % as a lefty.
High A—Daytona—All-Star Game
Four Daytona Cubs were in the starting lineup in Saturday night's all-star game in Dunedin—John Andreoli CF (0-4 RBI), Dustin Geiger 1B (0-2 BB), Javier Baez SS (2-4 2 2B,), Jorge Soler RF (0-0). Baez had two doubles and according to twitter was robbed of a home run. Andreoli drove in a run in the third on a ground out Soler did not bat and left in the second inning. LHP Frank Del Valle fanned the side in the seventh but allowed a run on a walk and a hit.
Home Run Derby: Javier Baez hit nine homers, tops in the first round, but couldn't match Nick Ramirez's 13 bombs in the finals.
Low A—Wisconsin 11, Kane County 5
Wisconsin (29-35) jumped out to a 7-0 lead and beat Kane County (29-36) for the second straight night.
At the Plate: After 20 games, its looks like CF Albert Almora will be able to hit .400 in the Midwest League. Last year's first-round pick went 2-5 and is now hitting .420/453/.568. He also stole his third base but has been thrown out four times. DH Bijan Rademacher caught the attention of the Midwest League managers being named to the all-star team and he continues to frustrate the league's pitchers. The left-hander went 3-5 with a double and his second homer of the year. He scored twice and is hitting .331/.408/.416. C Wilson Contreras (.257/.329/.454) had a pair of singles and drove in a run while Daniel Vogelbach (.264/.336/.445) knocked in his team-high 45th RBI.
On the Mound: Dillon Maples has lost control. After walking one in his first 10 innings in the MWL, the 21-year-old right-hander has issued 18 free passes in the last 14.1 frames. He walked seven in two innings his last outing and on Saturday night didn't make it out of the first, allowing four more walks and two hits as Wisconsin scored four times. It was his seventh start and he is 0-2 with a 8.51 ERA. Other Cougars pitching were Justin Amlung (2.1 IP, 4H, 3ER, 1BB, 3K 5.25 ERA), MWL all-star Felix Pena (4 IP, 3H, 1ER, 1BB, 5K, 2.89), and Lendy Castillo (2IP, 3H, 3R, 2ER, 1BB, 2K, 7.14)
Short-Season—Eugene 1, Boise 0
Pinch-hitter Henry Charles homered in the bottom of the ninth, the Emeralds first hit since the a first-inning single as Eugene (1-1) evened the series with Boise (1-1).
At the Plate: Boise only got three hits, all singles from Jacob Rogers, Jose Dore and Shawon Dunston.
On the Mound: Paul Blackburn, 19, showed why the Cubs selected him in the supplemental first-round last year as the right-hander threw one-hit, shutout ball for five innings and fanned eight in his Northwest League debut. He retired the final 13 hitters using a fastball in the low 90s while mixing in a change-up and curve. RHP Corbin Hoffner, a 2012 draft pick, extended Boise scoreless streak to 17 innings to start the season working three perfect frames with one punchout. Tyler Bremer took the loss giving up a homer to the leadoff hitter in the ninth, after Hawks pitching had retired 22 straight hitters.Here's the link for today's Cubs minor league box scores

Serving Size: 5 gallons
Preparation Time: 18:00
Blanch the bones by covering with cold water and bringing to the boil. Discard water and rinse bones.
Add remaining ingredients. Bring to the boil, then simmer for up to 18 hours, with skimming to remove any scum that rises.
Scald clean containers, and strain stock into each, seeing some fat into each to act as a protective cap. Cover with saran and cool.
This will keep at least a week, but should be part of the regular weekly mise en place. Excess should be frozen or reduced for glace d'viand, a 10-1 reduction.

Sundoulos - Winter 2011
From the Editor
As an alumnus of Talbot ('98), I have always read through every issue of Sundoulos as soon as it arrived. I appreciated how Sundoulos kept me connected to Talbot and kept me informed about important and thought-provoking issues. So after returning to be a professor at Talbot in 2010, I was delighted at the opportunity to take over the role of editing Sundoulos from Garry DeWeese. We want to continue to provide you with a connection to Talbot and articles that will challenge and encourage you.
As this issue of Sundoulos goes into the mail, Talbot is rejoicing over the opening of our new building, Tabot East. To help you join in the celebration, our main article recounts the planning, funding, and construction of Talbot East. We also continue a conversation on justification that Sundoulos began in the Spring 2011 issue. For this issue, two professors who serve in Talbot's Institute for Spiritual Formation present articles dealing with aspects of justification. Steve Porter helps us think through substitutionary atonement in a persuasive fashion – an important topic in a time when many question this pillar of justification. John Coe shows us the centrality and relevance of the doctrine of justification, as he demonstrates that true spiritual formation is rooted in a genuine understanding and appropriation of justification.
Your fellow-servant,
Gary Manning
Some 10 years ago I inherited the editorship of Sundoulos from Dr. Bob Saucy, the founding editor. My tenure as editor has been thoroughly delightful as I have been able to work closely with many of our outstanding faculty in soliciting articles, editing and suggesting revisions, and through it all, learning much myself.
The years have brought changes: Sundoulos is now jointly a product of Talbot and the Alumni office, and each issue benefits from the creative designers at Biola's University Communications and Marketing department. But our overall vision for Sundoulos has not changed; through the journal we strive to have an ongoing ministry to our alumni, bringing them the fruit of faculty research. To put it differently, it is you, the reader, that has given purpose to our work, and each issue is conceived with the primary goal of edification of alumni in various ministries around the world.
While I have been blessed to be the editor, it is time to pass the torch. Dr. Gary Manning, Associate Professor of New Testament, begins his editorship with this issue. A Talbot grad, Gary has experience as a youth pastor, associate pastor, church planter, and professor, and with nine children, has learned much about time management, nourishing leadership and love. He is the right man for this job!
I look forward eagerly to the continuing ministry of Sundoulos under Gary Manning's competent leadership.
Your fellow-servant,
Garry DeWeese
About Sundoulos
Sundoulos is published by the Talbot Alumni Association for the purpose of ministering to and communicating with alumni and friends of Talbot. All rights reserved. No material can be reproduced without the permission of the Sundoulos editorial staff.
The Talbot journal, Sundoulos (soon'-doo-los), is designed to serve those who have graduated from Talbot and are in full-time ministry. Sundoulos grew out of an influx of requests for some kind of continued support for alumni as they finished their coursework at Talbot. In 1993, it joined with the Alumni newsletter and received a new format. Dr. Bob Saucy was instrumental in the creation of the journal and describes it as "a way we could bring the fruit of the faculty to alumni."

Poor Odysseus, lashed to the mast. We fear for your soul lest the Sirens take it.
Other than that, how did all you sailors like the music?
And it's not "nearly free" - I see a number of other boats in better condition available for less costs and less hassle (this one is located in the back lot of a wooded hillside with a narrow winding driveway running downhill. I wouldn't go after it with less than a Ford F-350 with good brakes. Oh yes, and the vehicle is likely to come away with "cowboy pinstripes".
We need to kill this thread. It's like a siren for boatdreamers, and it's gonna lure some poor deluded fool onto the rocks.
If it's too far gone to tempt me, it is too far gone for any sane man. Let's all move along.
|I've often thought that if you could find a boat you liked with a good hull adding a deck in wood/epoxy would be an interesting project. It would end soft deck problems if done properly and if careful minor modifications to the original deck plan would be possible - smaller cockpit being one possible change. The problem is the aforementioned Vega doesn't even have a good hull.
Oh Boy! What a steal! Trouble is, whoever takes that "thing" is the victim!
One use would be to use it for a plan to build a like craft; carefully take it apart, measuring every item, and drafting a set of plans, but, hey, why not spend $200 and go get the plans for a similar vessel? Making plans from that old stink-pot would take ten years, on the low side!
|I too have looked at free or almost free boats. If you like to work on old boats I say go for it. That being said, I think a professional survey would the best and cheapest part of a restoration. A few observations that I have made: there are better products than bleach for getting rid of mold. Mostly what you get when using bleach is faded out mold-it's still there. There's a wealth of info on the net about this. I have also priced engines. Used can be anybody's guess as to price and reliability. New outboards for a boat this size:from several hundred to over $3000. New diesel engines 10 to 15hp. anywhere from $5000 up.(plus installation) From my point of view it looks like a big job(time and money). I was looking at a 27' Erickson that I could get for $1500 or less. The inboard engine was no good, but had an outboard. The hull didn't leak. The rigging needed some serious updating-probably ok for light air only. The sails were old but usable. It was in a slip that was about $180 a month-no trailor. Overall it was a usable boat that needed a lot of work. ------Or I could put $1500 down and make $180 payments a month on a new boat and go sailing tomorrow. And don't forget what the old farmer said, "Ya can't shine a cowpie."
Even for those obsessed with restoring boats this Vega looks too far gone. You have to have something that doesn't need a total rebuild to start with other than just a pretty shape!
I looked at your blog - you do nice work. Nice look and the cabin sole looks very cool.
Ditto: Don't walk, RUN away from this. GO find a nice older boat that just needs a few things that can be done in a few months, and I think you will be much happier......unless you are one of (us) the obsessed that gets far more pleasure from restoring a boat then sailing. Even then, it will always cost you 2-3 times more $ then you figure on paper, and double or triple the amount of time you think it will take you. I know from whence I speak.....
rebuilding sailboat - home
|I see the guy has relisted it on CL, same ad, same spiel, so I'm guessing he knows what he's got and is just looking for someone to take the bait. The centerline split along the keel at stern looked like a concern to me.
|Go ahead and buy it, so long as you intend to finish it. strip it, buy a compressor clean and clean sand and sand gelcoats not an issue use a heavy build primer,it will fill the crazing, sand some more and spray, lots of work there though, that 27 feet will start to look like 100 in no time,you will never get your money back out of it, but you'll Know your boat! more than you can say for most of the experts on this forum that particular boat will get you where you want to go ! but it wont be cheep
|You're welcome. One other thing about the boat (for the record) that was nagging at me, that I have a difficult time describing. There is a vertical split/separation along the rear area along the keel. This includes some of the area around the drive shaft. I didn't probe, but it appears to have been an area of potential problems as well. I don't know enough about the construction of this particular model to say for sure, but it looked as if I were looking at unprimed wood (with only a coat of ablative over it) in and around that area. Sealed the deal for me.

Vid: Huck Wizard
Seb Kemp worked with the guys behind this video down in New Zealand. When I asked him about his bike's cameo, and the bearded ginger from the southern hemisphere, this is what he had to say:
"Ginger Si is the most eccentric man in mountain biking. Pang is a monk who lives off nuts and is better than anyone at riding. I had the pleasure of working along these guys in New Zealand for two years heli-guiding. This video is bizarre but actually just what Ginger is like in real life. Actually, his acting makes him seem toned down. You have to meet him to see how mad someone can be."
This is possibly the weirdest video I've seen in a long time… but it was pretty entertaining. Have you ever had to call on the Huck Wizard?

Su J. Chon, the first minority to earn a spot on Utah's judicial bench under Gov. Gary Herbert, was sworn in Tuesday.
The oath of office was administered by Justice Ronald Nehring in the Utah Supreme Court at the Scott M. Matheson Courthouse, which was full of supporters and spectators.
Chon thanked her family and her Korean immigrant parents, who reared seven daughters.
"We are here because of others who have helped us along the way," Chon said.
Former Bar president Nathan Alder said Chon brings "a life of preparation for this service."
"Knowing this is a hard job, please do one thing: endure. Endure all that is coming your way," Alder said. "It is through your endurance that you have shined."
Earlier this year Chon, who most recently worked for the Office of the Utah Property Rights Ombudsman, became the first judicial nominee in memory to fail to receive a favorable appointment from a Senate confirmation committee.
The full Senate, however, ultimately voted 17 to 10 to confirm Chon to the 3rd District bench.
The confirmation committee expressed concern about Chon's lack of any trial experience. Supporters, meanwhile, praised Chon, an attorney of 18 years and the Utah State Bar's 2005 pro bono attorney of the year, as a hard worker and a good legal mind.
"I want you to know you've caused as much of a fear amongst this body as we've had in a while," said Sen Majority Leader Scott Jenkins, R-Plain City, before voting against recommending Chon for confirmation in August.
Republican senators split 10-10 in the final vote.
Sen. Steve Urquhart, R-St. George, lauded Chon prior to confirmation, calling her a "wonderful person and a wonderful lawyer."
