Pc, Take A Letter To Mr. Jones
I've been talking to my computers for years. Recently, they've started listening. New software lets PCs understand spoken words well enough that dictating is becoming an alternative to typing. The programs remain a bit crude. But you can see the potential when you speak, and your words--or most of them--appear on the screen.
I spent a good amount of time with two new Windows products, NaturallySpeaking from Dragon Systems and ViaVoice from IBM, that are a breakthrough. Until now, I've had trouble with dictation programs that expected me to make a distinct pause between words. These new programs support "continuous" speech, which lets you speak, well, naturally.
SLIGHT EDGE. This is not software that you can install and immediately start using. First, you have to spend a tiresome half-hour or so reading text off the screen so the program can train itself to your voice. I much preferred Dragon's offering of a chapter of Dave Barry in Cyberspace to IBM's deadly text.
After training, both programs are surprisingly accurate at converting spoken words to text, though I'd give a slight edge in accuracy to Dragon. There are things you can do to improve the results. First, use a good, noise-canceling headset microphone. I like the Andrea ANC-500, available for around $40. Running the text of several of my columns through both programs provided another gain in accuracy by incorporating words I typically use into their vocabularies. The programs also learn as you correct mistakes. And finally, I modified my speaking style to avoid swallowing words and letting my voice trail off at the end of sentences.
The two products also share one big drawback. You can dictate only into the rudimentary word processors they provide or, in the case of ViaVoice, Microsoft Word. To send an E-mail message, for example, you first speak the text into the dictation program, then use your mouse to cut-and-paste it into your mail application. To address the message, you have to type. Future versions will work better with existing programs, and the next update of Lotus SmartSuite will have ViaVoice support built in. But don't expect seamless integration of voice technology into your E-mail, spreadsheets, or other applications for some time.
There's a big difference in style between NaturallySpeaking and ViaVoice. IBM seems to assume that the folks who dictate have secretaries. So ViaVoice lets you pass rough dictation on to an assistant for corrections. To deal with the inevitable flubs, the file includes your voice recording, any section of which can be played back. But navigating through the file to make corrections must be done by mouse or keyboard.
NaturallySpeaking is better suited for folks like me who produce their own finished copy. For example, in one dictation session, I said: "A long wait makes it," and the program understood: "Along Lake Mesa." When I said: "Select `along Lake Mesa,"' the program highlighted the garble for me to correct either by speaking or typing. If you make your own corrections, I think the Dragon product is well worth the extra $100 it costs.
I found the programs' raw ability to recognize speech very impressive. But the usefulness of these products will remain limited until they allow you to speak into any application. Another important feature is letting you control the programs by voice, too. This will take a complete rethinking of how people use software. Just replacing mouse clicks with talking your way through existing menu trees, as some expensive programs do now, is not much of an improvement. Instead, programs have to learn to deal with commands, such as "boldface the second paragraph and indent it."
Systems that can do this are on the way, not in computers but at those horrible telephone-call centers that expect you to remember that you're supposed to press 1 to order widgets and 7 to inquire about wickets. Companies such as Registry Magic and Applied Language Technologies are running prototypes that replace keypad-based menus with natural-language understanding. These systems are much simpler than most PC software because they deal with a limited range of speech; an airline's call center doesn't have to take a pizza order. But they help develop computer systems that really understand human beings.
For most people, spoken language is both the richest and easiest way to communicate. Once you can talk to your computer naturally in every sense, a huge barrier between man and machine will be gone.

Originally posted on Project Spurs | Last updated 1/22/13
When Boris Diaw was rumored to be bought out by the Charlotte Bobcats, rumors swirled about where he'd end up. The San Antonio Spurs were one team that was very interested in the versatile big man and his friendship with Tony Parker also played a part. He ultimately signed with team midseason last year, but the history between Diaw and the Spurs hasn't been forgotten. Diaw was acquired by the Suns during the 2005-2006 offseason from the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for Joe Johnson and some draft picks. Diaw would immediately become a contributor during Amar'e Stoudemire's absence that year and became an often loved and also criticism player on the team. He was also inserted into a rivalry the next year with the Spurs, one that was brewing for the past couple of years that saw the Spurs eliminate the Suns in an embarrassing manner. In 2007, the feud seemed to reach a boiling point during their second round series when Robert Horry hip checked Steve Nash at the end of Game 4 of the series. When the hip check happened, Diaw and Stoudemire decided to get up and get on the court, which is against league rules during an altercation. They were both suspended for Game 5 and that allowed the Spurs win the series. After those events and a feud that was alive up until two years ago, it might've been a little odd for San Antonio fans to picture Diaw on the court in a black and silver jersey. In fact, it's still is for Diaw himself as he said during a Spurs Mailbag interview with Spurs.com: A little bit, but it's not like we hate one another. We want to win, but it's always in a gentlemanly manner. I kind of knew about the team from Tony already. Boris has been a great team player so far and said he's learned about the team and its schemes from the French National Team, who uses some of the Spurs' plays. He's been playing the way Suns fans remember him in Phoenix. He's a great passer and shooter, who can play just about every position on the floor if given the opportunity and play it well. It's a good thing Diaw didn't feel "too weird" about signing with San Antonio or else the Spurs would've missed out on a great player who's been filling in the void that's been left over from Spurs who've left the name years ago.

About 6.3 percent of kids aged 12-19 are on prescription psychotropic medication according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This appears to be an increase over previous years, although comparable data is not readily available.
These children take mediation primarily for two problems—depression and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Males are more likely to be prescribed medication for ADHD (4.2 percent for males vs. 2.2 percent for females). However, girls were given medication for depression at a rate twice that of boys, 4.5 percent for girls vs. 2.0 percent for boys.
Does this represent a pseudo chemical solution to real problems, or the appropriate treatment of kids with psychiatric disorders? Parents and professionals are unsure.
Those who have concerns about this trend view it within a broader context of using drugs to control our moods. Drug abuse among our teens remains high. Twenty-four percent of high school kids reported binge drinking in the past two weeks, defined as having 5 or more alcoholic beverages in a row. About 25 percent of high school seniors reported using illicit drugs within the past 30 days.
The behavior of our youth reflects a greater societal acceptance of chemical mood alteration. One teen facetiously asked me if I thought that the Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos playing in the Super Bowl was related to the fact that both states had recently relaxed their regulation of marijuana!
However, let's not confuse drug abuse with the legitimate prescription of medication to treat mental disorders. There is role for medicine, but parents need to be cautious.
- Obtain a comprehensive evaluation from a specialist in treating childhood disorders. Rely on your family physician as the best source of information about qualified professionals.
- Ask lots of questions. Make certain you leave the office with a good understanding of what the medicine will (and will not) do. Ask how long it is anticipated that your child will be on the medication and be sensitive to any side effects.
- Combine medication with therapy. Only half of the kids in the CDC study were seeing a mental health professional for ongoing therapy. In the treatment of adolescent depression, medication combined with Cognitive Behavior Therapy is the most effective treatment protocol. Encourage excellent communication between the physician ordering the medicine and the therapist treating your child.
- Be careful of your explanations to your child. I've had kids tell me that they were misbehaving on a certain day because "I forgot to take my meds." Don't let your child avoid responsibility for his behavior.
Remember the Law of Moderation. Neither embrace medication as the solution for all problems, nor reject chemical treatment under all circumstances.

An English-language blog post about Hanako, a celebrated elephant at a zoo in Tokyo, has sparked an Internet petition for her freedom — or at least a move to more salubrious surroundings.
The 69-year-old animal was captured from the wild as a youngster and lives without a companion.
While online commenters deplore Hanako's circumstances, the zoo argues she has good treatment.
"We're taking care of Hanako with great sensitivity," said a keeper at Inokashira Park Zoo in the western Tokyo neighborhood of Musashino.
Some visitors to the zoo bridled at the criticism, saying the beast has long been beloved of local residents.
The blog post in question, written last October, said "Japan's oldest living captive elephant" was transported from Thailand as a calf back in 1949 to "what would become her lifetime prison."
"Totally alone in a small, barren, cement enclosure with absolutely no comfort or stimulation provided, she just stood there almost lifeless, like a figurine." An accompanying photograph showed a sad-looking Hanako.
The message spread quickly on Facebook and other social media.
An online petition for moving Hanako to an elephant sanctuary or a new, more commodious enclosure where she can interact with other elephants has collected some 300,000 signatures.
Media outside Japan have got involved: "Many Thai netizens also expressed the view that Hanako should be taken out of Japan and brought back to Thailand," reported The Bangkok Post, an English-language newspaper based in the Thai capital.
Hidemasa Hori, who is responsible for rearing and displaying the animals at Inokashira Park Zoo, said he wants people to understand what lengths the zookeepers go to.
Every day, keepers make special rice balls combined with wheat and peeled bananas so that Hanako, who has only one tooth, can digest them easily, according to Hori, 50.
Hori acknowledges that in an ideal world elephants should be kept on soil, but he says it is very expensive to maintain such an environment, and a small public zoo like Inokashira Park Zoo, which is mostly run with taxpayer money, cannot afford it.
While acknowledging those who say it is a shame Hanako is alone — critics note that elephants in the wild live in herds — Hori opposes transporting her to a different facility. Given her age, traveling would be a big burden, Hori said, and a change of environment could cause her enormous stress.
As an example of how sensitive Hanako is, Hori said even the noise of a tree branch breaking causes her to stand stock-still.
The elephant's popularity can be gauged from the reactions of visitors. One recent Sunday at the zoo, a crowd of onlookers erupted in cheers as Hanako drank water with her trunk.
Keiko Yamada, a 67-year-old resident of the Tokyo district of Mitaka was visiting the zoo with her 5-year-old grandson. "I also came to see Hanako when this boy's father was small," she said nostalgically.
Others said the elephant is an important local institution.
"Hanako is the symbol of this zoo," said Emi Izumiya, 63, from Tokyo's Suginami Ward. "Many would be saddened if Hanako is gone."

The large master stateroom is forward, and features an island queen bed, cedar-lined hanging closets port and starboard, drawers beneath the bed (and additional storage further forward under the bed), reading lights, bookshelves, two opening portlights, and an opening overhead hatch.
The forward head is starboard off of the forward companionway, and includes an enclosed shower compartment.
The guest stateroom is port off of the forward companionway. A double berth, storage drawers and lockers, and a hanging locker are included.
The pilothouse is just two steps up from the saloon, and features a raised dinette large enough to seat three adults. It's easy to enjoy the view while underway or in port from this vantage. The dinette optionally converts to a single pilot berth. The helm is located to starboard -- the view over the bow and aft to the port and starboard quarters makes docking easy. The helm seat slides out of the way, and sliding pilothouse doors port and starboard provide immediate access to the side decks, the bow, the flybridge or to the dock. In addition to the sliding doors, ventilation and light is provided by opening side windows, an opening center windshield, and an opening overhead hatch. Overhead handholds are provided for safety and are beautifully crafted in teak like the joinery throughout the boat. A nav station large enough to work with charts (including hinged storage beneath) is provided -- a feature overlooked in many of today's boats. Additional flat counter/working space is provided to starboard behind the helm seat. Compared to the Helmsman Trawlers 38 Pilothouse to forward windows are moved further forward providing a panoramic view.
The expansive saloon takes full advantage of the boat's generous beam, and feels like the saloon of a much larger boat. With an L-shaped galley to starboard, a U-shaped dinette to port (which converts to a queen berth), and space for a recliner or one or two other comfortable free-standing chairs aft starboard, the saloon is designed for entertaining and comfortable living at sea! Storage includes a microwave cabinet and pantry forward on the centerline, an entertainment center and storage cabinet (with louvered doors, as throughout the boat) to port, and a bookshelf with storage behind sliding doors to starboard. The galley includes many drawers and cabinets, and an overhead storage cabinet the folds up into the overhead to avoid obstructing the view. Overhead teak handholds and an elegant teak/holly beam with hanging knees add a nautical flair and serve serious purpose.The day head (with shower capability) to port is accessed via a sliding cabin door and is two steps down from the saloon.
The engineroom gives an amazing amount of working space around the engine, and includes a built-in workbench/tool storage. The room is well-lit and extremely orderly. Wire and tubing runs are precise and accessible. Deck plates make movement easy. Through-hulls are readily at-hand.
The aft cockpit features a full-length cover and is larger than the 38 Pilothouse.
The flybridge is positioned aft of the raised pilothouse, providing a sleeker appearance and a lower profile. This boat includes the optional U-shaped settee with installed table, and starboard helm station. The boat deck will accommodate a 10' RIB. All railings are welded stainless steel, with finely polished welds. Access to the flybridge is via wide stairs (no ladders!) port and starboard from the pilothouse, for exceptional safety and security.
Standard engine -- Cummins QSB 6.7-250 hp engine, electronically-controlled common-rail design. Optional engine choices include the entire Cummins QSB series up to 550 hp -- and Cummins QSL9. Other engines including Lugger, John Deere, and Isuzu may be specified.
Electronically-controlled engine options include specialized controls.
Many custom options to configure the galley and heads are available. Standard equipment is listed below.
Solid laminate hull with vinylester resins in external layers, fitted with internal FRP grid.

During the past election, Mitt Romney and fellow Republicans, warned the American people that to follow Obama economic ideas was the road to serfdom and poverty. Mitt insisted the solution was to cut, cut, cut, and embrace austerity as the model for ending our recession. There has been a monthly increase of new jobs averaging at least 150,000 and today's figure for February was–198,000! However, European nations like the UK, Spain or Greece report DECLINE in the number of jobs and continual loss so that in Spain, the unemployment figure is about 24% for youth. Oh, the report also reveals that 24,000 more jobs were created in January than initially reported.
Health costs declined since the Affordable Health Act was passed. The economy is growing about 1.8% but it is growing, not declining as in Engand. Perhaps it is time for Mitt to head for the UK and assist the efforts of Prime Minister David Cameron to increase unemployment and make certain there is a stagnant economy.

general ?? on "forums" setup
Couple of questions from a newcomer - - -
(I have a '97 STS - and really enjoying . . . . )
It seems like this forum, Cadillac STS-V Series Forum, would be the right one for my vehicle. Is that correct?
Sorry, but what does > -V Series mean ?
Does each forum have a moderator? Ranger - are you leader for this one?
Okay to just "post" a question (thread, I guess) like this one I'm submitting now?
Appreciate any response - thanks in advance, Andy
Re: general ?? on "forums" setup
No, this wouldn't be the correct section for a 97 STS. You want to go to the main forum index ( http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/ ), then scoll down past the V series forum, past the current cadillacs discussion, to the past vehicle discussion. Find the "Cadillac Seville/Eldorado Forum." I think you already found it.
As for the rest of the questions, forum moderator names would be on the far right column on the main forum index. The V series would be the CTS-V, STS-V, and XLR-V - it's a performance model, the CTS-V has a 400hp pushrod V8, the others are supercharged northstars.
Feel free to post any threads/questions you want to, although you should use the search function first to see if someone else has a thread that answers your question. Enjoy your stay...
Re: general ?? on "forums" setup
STS - 2005 and later RWD V6/V8 luxury sedan.

Heather Strong Murder Case
Joshua Fulgham was in the hot seat in court as opening statements began for his participation in the murder of his wife Heather Strong.
Fulgham's ex-girlfriend Emilia Carr has already been convicted to death row for killing Heather.
Both sides say Fulgham had a hand in the killing but are split on whether it was premeditated or done in the heat of the moment.
But both the defense and the prosecution agree that the 11 years that Fulgham and Heather Strong spent together led up to the tragic day.
Prosecutor Brad King said "in respect to these two, this was a violent relationship."
Defense attorney Terry Lenamon agreed saying "they had a volatile relationship."
A volatile relationship that turned deadly when officials say Emilia Carr and ex-girlfriend of Fulgham's killed strong.
Both sides say that Fulgham admitted to luring Heather to a trailer behind Carr's mother's house.
But that's when the stories split.
The state claims that Fulgham planned ahead of time to kill her that day and helped Emilia Carr.
The defense agrees that Fulgham admitted to participating in the murder but says he watched Carr do it because he froze when he found out his wife had cheated on him.

text: I was wondering if I am the only Bullseye shooter here. I Shot the last match of the season at my club. It started off terrible. I overslept, missed the first round on slowfire in the rimfire course. I still managed to shoot a good match. I scored 720-15X even with ten rounds thrown away. Center fire and 45 went as usual 762-9X and 761-7X respectively. Overall aggregate was 2243-31X. I could have broken 2300 if not for the throw away rounds.:smt071

Oregon State Head Coach Mike Riley
"There are too many things to point the finger at on what went wrong tonight and I just don't have enough fingers.The first half really told the tale of the game. We had a chance for our second touchdown and we fumbled into the end zone. Then, we absolutely just gave them a touch down when we fumbled again right before the half.It spiraled from there as we just disintegrated and gave them a 14-point swing going into halftime."
On the momentum shift in the second quarter:
"It was a big swing.I don't know exactly what the turning point was because it was kind of hard to tell, but that was definitely where the big swing in the game occurred. On our third series, we went down the field and got a touch down. It wasn't long after that we fumbled and gave the ball right back to them. We played a horrible field position game."
On the OSU penalties and personal fouls:
"Well I think that gave them another touch down for sure. It was part of our play that was absolutely unnecessary. ASU earned this victory. They did what they needed to do, but we gave them at least two of the their scores."
Oregon State CB Brandon Browner
On coming out of the game:
"I cramped up and that's why I came out the game. Physically, I feel fine."
"We made lots of mistakes on offence and defense, but our defense and offense played hard."
On talking in the media prior to the game:
"The comments made during the week were blown out of proportion. Talkingon the field doesn't matter, but there will be no more talkingon my part."
"We are frustrated and not happy at all we just lost the game. We need to refocus and go back to the drawing board. The Sun Devils are a good team and they play hard. The only positive outcome of the game is that we played hard."
Oregon State TE Joe Newton
On the fumble (in the end zone):
"Ball security is the most important thing. We get that hammered into us at practice every day. It is the most important thing, you need the ball. If you turn the ball over all the time it will hurt you. They [Arizona State] capitalize on stuff like that. That will really hurt you. I thought I had scored, but apparently I wasn't. It was just stupid on my part. I get told to keep the ball high and tight every day. I had relaxed a little bit. That's when you're going to get hurt."
On what happened tonight:
"I don't know if I can put my finger on anything. We made a lot of mistakes. On a lot of errors that we normally wouldn't make, they did a great job of coming back and making plays.

1993 first edition paperback in very good condition. R30 postage in SA. 296 pages. "In January 1961 Angola, one of Portugal's most thriving 'overseas provinces', was in the eye of a storm. A period of sustained growth in the 1950s, a golden decade of Portuguese African history, had led to Angola becoming one of Portugal's most prized posessions. National development plans were embarked on with zeal; new roads, railways, factories, harbours, airfields, and settlements were built and exports increased dramatically. While the rest of Africa was in turmoil, Angola, and Portuguese Mozambique, seemed like oases of peace and progress.
But, couched between its high-sounding principles and its policy of Luso-Tropicalism, Portugal marched ever onwards to the beat of its own drum, seemingly oblivious to its impending fate. Portuguese Prime Minister, Dr Salazar, had ruled over Portugal's colonies with an iron fist for over thirty years, enforcing a draconian racial policy on the African territories, whereby the population of the New State was categorised into 'native', white and 'assimilated' groups, and the colonies as a whole, with their burgeoning economies, were bound to the dictates of the European state.
The 1950s had also given birth toa variety of politically oriented movements promoting protest and resistance. In Salazar's Estado Novo, such groupings were prohibited and we3re ultimately forced to go undergroud or operate from neighbouring states. A deep sense of frustration built up accompanied by a hardeing of attitudes. Angola was ripe for insurrection. Long-standing grievances showed little sign of being addressed and general administrative arrogance and repression ensued.
On 4 February 1961, the day regarded by the MPLA as the start of its national revolution, the storm broke. Taken unawares by the shock of the uprisings in Angola, and the subsequent bloody Bacongo insurrection on 15 March 1961, Portugal was to plunge its armed forces, untested since World War I, into an urgent counter-offensive.
The Angolian war has been described as the bloodiest colonial insurgency in the history of Africa south of the Sahara. But it was to become a conflict that Portugal would lose not on the battlefield, but in the hearts of its own citizens. After a thirteen-year war of attrition in Angola, and facing increasing setbacks in two of its other war-torn territories, an enervated Portugal with its weary armed forces would deal the final blow to itself.
In Angola, Portugal's new government would lose control over the process of decolonisation, the results of which are still being experienced today."

The Jewish aspiration of betterment is embedded today in the State of Israel. However, the balance between Israel as a Jewish State and Israel as a democratic one is ongoing.

The challenge is urgent and demands our undivided strength and effort. Morality, knowledge and peace should be our agenda for today.

Can I complain to the Privy Council about a Chartered Body?
The Privy Council does not have any kind of policing role in respect of Chartered bodies. The grant of a Charter gives a body the rights and powers of a natural person. The Privy Council (which, under the modern constitution is part of the Executive) cannot intervene in the internal affairs of Chartered bodies any more than it could intervene in the private affairs of a citizen. No part of the Executive can do that unless it has been given specific statutory powers. The Privy Council has no such statutory powers, and it would therefore be acting beyond its powers if it attempted to do so.
The Privy Council has no power to investigate, or even to take a view on, any matter of fact or law relating to a Chartered body. Only the courts can do that, and the Privy Council is not a Court (it does have a Judicial Committee, but the scope of its activities is clearly laid down in statute, and they do not include matters relating to Chartered bodies). The only power that the Privy Council has in relation to Chartered bodies is the reactive one of considering changes to Charters and Bye-laws that are submitted to it for approval. The Privy Council has no power to require a Chartered body to make any changes to its constitution; and if it sought to do so indirectly (e.g. by refusing to approve an amendment unless further unrelated amendments were made) it would be liable to judicial review on the grounds that it was abusing its powers.
If you believe that a Chartered body is in breach either of its Charter or of the general law then the correct recourse is to the body itself; and if that fails to provide a remedy, and if you believe that it has acted unlawfully, to the courts. It cannot be to the Privy Council which has no power to take a view on any matter of fact or law. Before considering court action against a body it would be sensible to seek professional legal advice.
Is the Privy Council responsible for approving the use of the word 'Royal' to be used in the name of an institution?
Issues relating to the use of the word Royal are administered by the Constitutional Settlement Division of the Cabinet Office.
Enquiries should be directed to the Cabinet Office, Constitutional Policy Team.
Phone: 020 3334 6590.
If an institution uses the word 'Royal' in its title, does it mean that it has been granted a charter?
No. The use of the prefix 'Royal' does not necessarily denote the existence of a Charter, it can be granted at the prerogative of the Monarch,and the Privy Council is not involved in the process. For example, Queen Victoria gave permission for 'The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals' to become 'The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals' in 1840.
Does the Privy Council grant City Status?
The Privy Council is not involved in the process of granting city status, which is administered by the Ministry of Justice. For historical information please visit http://www.dca.gov.uk/constitution/royalhered.htm ; contact details can be found at http://www.justice.gov.uk/about/royal-and-constitutional.htm.
I've noticed that an Institution seems to be subject to a Charter and an Act of Parliament. Which takes precedence?
An Act of the Crown in Parliament takes precedence over a Charter.
How do you become a Privy Counsellor?
Appointments are made by the Sovereign on the advice of the Prime Minister and are for life – there is no fixed number of Members. All Cabinet Members are appointed to the Privy Council, as are some senior members of the Royal Family, senior judges, two Archbishops, the Speaker of the House of Commons, leaders of Opposition parties, and leading Commonwealth spokesmen and judges. The Council now numbers about 550 members, and members are entitled to the prefix 'Right Honourable.'
Does the Privy Council have any jurisdiction in Australia, Canada or New Zealand?
Why does the Privy Council stand up during meetings?
We understand that this custom in place at Privy Council meetings was initiated by Queen Victoria following the death of the Prince Consort (1861), when she wished to reduce her public duties to the minimum necessary, although there is no documentary evidence. We know that the Prince Consort always attended Councils until his death, and the Council may have stood at the first Council after his death as a mark of respect. All that Queen Victoria needed to do, of course, to ensure that the Council stood was to remain standing herself. Etiquette does not allow sitting while the Sovereign is standing. To this day even The Queen stands at a PC meeting.
What is the Quorum for a Privy Council meeting?
The quorum needed to hold a meeting of the Privy Council is three Privy Counsellors. This number was introduced by Queen Victoria.
Are Members "Privy Councillors" or "Privy Counsellors"?
Both are correct, but "Counsellors" is the preferred usage.
Appointment of Governor Generals of Australia

Judge Cancels Peoria City Council Election
(KFYI News) – A federal judge late Friday issued a temporary restraining order canceling the election for a Peoria city council seat and ordering a special election at a later date.
One candidate, Dr. Ken Krieger, had his name inadvertently left off the early ballots mailed to voters. When he brought the omission to the attention of the county recorder's office, which sent out the ballots, a reprint was ordered. However, due to a printer's error, the original ballot was mailed out again.
The city council then authorized a third printing of the ballot for the Mesquite district seat, but decided that any voters who returned either of the first two ballots and didn't return the third ballot would have their votes counted anyway.
Krieger sued, arguing that the decision made a mockery of the election process and deprived him – and voters – of their constitutional rights.
Attorneys representing Krieger and the city of Peoria both argued the case before a federal judge on Friday morning. Late in the day, the judge issued a ruling granting Krieger's request for a temporary restraining order canceling the election and told both sides to work together to schedule a special election for the seat so that all voters will have the chance to choose between all three candidates.

Shaker scoop mounting
On my 78 firebird I've bought just about everything to make it a trans am. Only thing i won't be doing is the engine and trans. Its just a 350 chevy under the hood. The only thing i haven't bought is the shaker scoop because i'm unsure about what i should do with it. I was thinking that i would cut the hole in the hood to the correct dimensions, but i want to round off the edges so it wont look unfinished.
Also i dont know how i should go about mounting the scoop. Yea, it would be cool to actually have it engine mounted, but it won't matter from outside. So i was thinking that i would just mount it to the hood. I guess it doesnt really matter since its not a real trans am anyway. But on the other hand i don't want to seem lazy by not building something to mount it to the engine.
I just need opinions on those 2 things really.
1. How to finish the edges on the hole for the scoop
2. Mounting the scoop.
Thanks guys!:thumbup:
In '79-81, a large number of T/As were built with 305. All the stuff from those will make it fit correctly.
You'll find the car not able to perform up to T/A "standards" with the little engine in it. Big cars need big torque...
Of course, once you mount the shaker scoop to the hood, it just becomes a "scoop" without the "shaker" part...
Anyway, I used push-on trim to finish the cut edge of the hood. There are many types and styles of this kind of trim- I used some that a buddy had left over. An example is shown below- click on image for info. It actually turned out quite nice looking and solved the problem of rolling/finishing the edges of the steel hood.
As mentioned, there are 305 shaker scoop assemblies- personally I'm not that wild about the style of them, at least as compared to the early scoops that are less angular (which is what I used). And be aware they are all made for a Q-jet carb.
Some scoops can be seen at Hitman's Pontiac Trans Am shaker scoops.
In my case, because I only had the scoop w/o the base assembly, I mounted the scoop to the hood (so I had no shaker- but the whole car shook anyway). I used fiberglass to make a piece that was attached to the air cleaner base to seal the filter element to the underside of the hood w/foam rubber so the scoop only pulled in outside air and not the hot underhood air (this set-up used no air cleaner lid). I used a piece of expanded metal mesh to cover the opening.
Good info here guys. Thanks a ton!
I'm thinking it would be best to mount it to the hood. How should i go about this though?
The scoop could be trimmed to make it more symmetrical as seen when the hood is open (one side is squared, the other rounded). I didn't trim mine, though, so the scoop could be used as a shaker again some day.
Real shaker scoop
What was done was to cut a piece of 1/8 aluminum to match the base of the scoop..then the center of the plate was bored to match the intake manifold and the bolt pattern so the plate was put in place and the carb was then mounted. We used a couple of long studs to fasten the scoop so it could be easily removed to access the carb and linkage..Linkage for the carb was handled with a cable up through a slot in the plate..Now that you have the general idea it is up to you to figure out the details of your particular installation..
Hey thanks for the help guys. I found this picture on another site and i can see how he attached it. Seems easy enough now that i can see what you guys are talking about http://i908.photobucket.com/albums/a...A/TAEngine.jpg
Years ago I bought a 78 trans am without an engine or transmission. Swapped in a 350/350 combo from my beater 75 camaro. Had a performer intake and a quadrajet and ran pretty good for a stock long block. put the original shaker set up on there with a few adjustment & fit fine. Loved that car.:D

cva headspace shims?
Hey, I had a question about the cva headspace adjustment shims. I was under the impression that the purpose of these was to snug things up to you're primer and eliminate blowback & therefore keeping things cleaner. I was looking at the cva website today and it specifically said is not intended to reduce blowback, only to bring firing pin retainer flush with frame. So, what's the point. Mine works great without it, but if I could keep it cleaner, I wouldn't hesitate to get one. Worth a try for the price, but I don't want to waste my time if it's not going to do anything. Thanks.
Yeah they dont like us doing that due to the fact that if you adjust it to much and slam the gun shut, it will in fact go off. Keep it simple, adjust for only the brand of primer you start with and strictly use that.
It will stop the blow by solid as shown in the video
CVA Firing Pin Bushing Shim Kit - YouTube
If you'd like to make it easier on you but a little more up keep, try the metric O rings. The code # you need is on the picture.
This moderator does NOT promote or support ANY advice from FrontierGander.
Anyone who takes and uses advice, that frontiergander offers, either to alter or supposedly improve on,
the functionality of a weapon, could be putting themselves in harms way possibly even costing them their own lives.
Anyone can clearly read it in his own words in the post above this post.
MY ADVISE, ALWAYS contact the company that manufactured the weapon,
not some yahoo on the internet that thinks he knows what he's doing.
Good Luck and Happy Safe Hunting Always
We have discussed, in the recent past, that certain modifications to firearms puts one's self in great danger. I really do not understand statements like if you shim too far the gun will fire upon closing! CVA or any other maker simply has to fix under warranty any issues with their products. My TC Triumph will not close the action when using Winchester primers. CCI and Remington are fine. So I do not machine the breach plug or anything to alter the gun just use what is safe to use. FG does a lot of shooting of muzzleloaders, and knows CVA products, his experiments are his only and should not be followed by readers of this site. I wonder what would happen, in a court of law, following a liability injury lawsuit, stemming from the altering of a firearm from information gathered on a web site, who would be held liable? Is CVA condoning the shimming, even supplying the shims or o-rings and a mishap occurs, I wouldn't want to defend them in a court. First question: did you know there was a problem, second question, why didn't you do a full recall and fix the problem. Third question: How do you wish to make payments, monthly, quarterly, one lump sum? Folks, the simple answer is jerry rig a firearm too many bad things can happen.
A man has to know his limits and apparently firearm upgrades and tuning is out of a couple persons abilities.
Spamming the Deer Hunters Club with posts from a personal Blog will not be tolerated.
FG your last post may be your last post! I see no reason to provoke the moderators when we have to step in and post a disclaimer on suggested modifications when they involve the safety of the viewers. You were the one who posted that the shimming if too much could cause the gun to fire when closed. That would not be a good thing. This site cannot promote activities that put members in harms way. I think we have covered this subject pretty well, enough said. Your moderator slam did not go un-noticed. I see you have been banned from this site, probably for the better.
We have tolerated a lot of posts involving risky content by FG, this type of post from him isn't anything new but has finally gone too far.
He has been spoken to in the past about making posts regarding tampering/altering weapons in a way that could cause harm to others and as anyone can clearly see from his own words,
he said; "if you adjust it to much and slam the gun shut, it will in fact go off"
These sort of posts can no longer be tolerated thus my reason for banning him. But I guess he seems to think I just wanted to abuse the powers of a moderator but if that were the case
I would have banned him LONG before now yet I still want to emphasize that if or when someone posts a question that could require an adjustment or altercation,
the best advice any of us can offer would be to refer them back to the company that manufactured that weapon.
I think it's important to let the manufacturer decide which adjustments or aletercations would be safe to perform.
didn't mean for anyone to freak out or get in trouble. I figured since it's a cva product, it should be legit and not hillbillie gunsmithing. I was just wanting to clearify it's purpose since the website is kind of contradicting itself. I do understand that from a liability standpoint this site can't give gunsmithing advise, just the type of society we live in today. I didn't think of that before I asked the question, sorry if I got anyone in trouble.
I would just send it to CVA under warranty if you think it needs repaired or adjusted as others have said just be safe. Hillbillie gunsmithing sorry but that's funny I'm a Thompson Center arms co fan myself not so much of a CVA fan. When you said that I just got a image of a Spanish Hillbillie stuck in my head due to the guns coming from Spain with a hammer a 4x4 of american cedar wood 2 nails & a tube of epoxy :lol: I really hope they are not building em this way but yeah in todays world who knows. Hope you get it all worked out.
Just my .02 cents but CVA contradicting itself is quite often. For legit as it can get look to a Co based in the usa that make the guns here. TC Knight Savage are just a few. There lower end models most always outperform the high end imports. Bruce & Hunting man give sound advice & are very knowledgeable. I respect them for caring about the sport & safety of others. Happy hunting & Live to Hunt another day. MWP

Someone mentioned "Cannon." He had a new Mark IV every year of filming save for the last, 1976 where he had a Mark for half the season before replacing it with a gorgeous Bordeaux 76 Thunderbird. There were few chase scenes on Cannon, but the ones that were there were quite memorable - something about that big block Ford torque - well, that and nearly 3 tons of weight not including Mr. Conrad who was no lightweight himself.
American graffiti
Damn that was even faster than Gary. The only stumper I could come up with was Kookie's hot rod.
I'm out. I don't watch sci-fi, much less sci-fi cartoons.

Once I have my permit, I expect to carry some or a lot, or maybe always. I'm not sure yet. Anyway, I haven't bought/tried any sort of holster. And I don't have the scratch to buy a bunch of different styles. Ideally, I would like to buy one and love it forever and never change - HA!
I'm leaning toward IWB, possibly AIWB (though I have a gut and a fat, double stack carry weapon).
Would just tucking my weapon into my WB without a holster - assuming I can do so safely - around the house and whatnot give me a good idea of whether or not IWB carry is for me?
Or, would it be a bad idea because just tucking a handgun in your WB without a holster is nothing like doing so with a holster?
Just curious.

so i'm driving and its the first day of actual snow out (michigan) but anyways i slid on ice, didn't hit anything but ever since then my Abs light is solid, and the break light is flashing..
And if those lights turn off then the traction control one stays on and i am not able to turn it off.
But outta no where they all went away for a little while today, then came back when i started driving some more.
Anyone know what this can be?
I believe it maybe a bad sensor?

Five Alternatives to Bank Loans
By David Treehouse If you are looking to raise some money for a specific reason, the usual course of action is to take out a bank loan. The process for getting bank loans isn't complicated, but you will need to have assets in your name and a fairly good credit score to be able to obtain one. For those that can qualify for one, this is often the best way to get a loan to fund whatever project you have … Continue reading

Carefully turning the large ornate handle of the wooden door, I felt I was stepping back in time as we entered the foyer of this graceful manor house, just outside Oxford.
With a history spanning 900 years, Weston Manor dates back to the Doomsday Book. And one of its owners in the 16th century, Sir Henry Norreys, was an instrumental figure in Hilary Mantel's Booker Prize-winning novels Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies.
My elegant room, one of 25, came with a luxurious four-poster bed. Dinner is served in the medieval Baronial Hall, a magnificent oak-panelled room complete with minstrels' gallery dating back to the late 15th century (two courses for £32).
But we were lucky enough to eat at the Chef's Table, curious to see the action behind the scenes and pick up top tips from executive chef Larry Jayasekara.
The Sri Lankan took his first steps in the kitchen of his father and hasn't looked back, working under the likes of Michel Roux Snr and Raymond Blanc.
There were no Gordon Ramsay theatrics, just deft artistry at play as the team quietly set about creating culinary works of art, beginning with a delectable starter of heritage potatoes with onion, wild garlic and pistachio.
A juicy moist confit of Scottish salmon, with wasabi, fennel, and finger lime followed. The main of spiced Herdwick mutton from the Lake District was amazingly tender.
You can enjoy a stroll round the knot garden afterwards to admire the amazing topiary, watch lambs in the field next door, or play croquet.
You could stroll five minutes down the road to the Black Sheep Pub , which opened in February and has a reputation for a mean Sunday roast.
Pick up a VIP voucher from the hotel to use at the Bicester Shopping Outlet, just a 10-minute drive away. For more history, visit Blenheim Palace's WWI exhibition A Great Estate at War – Land, Sea and Air (until July 1).
Or just potter round the pretty villages of the Cotswolds.
Doubles from £215 B&B. Dinner at the Chef's Table (for up to two people) is £100pp.
Three more stays with a sense of history
This 73-room Georgian manor house was the home of poet Percy Shelley. The real Downton Abbey, Highclere Castle, is only 10 miles away.
THE DEAL: A two-night B&B break costs from £169 for two with one dinner.
In the Victorian seaside town of Llandudno, this 13th century country house hotel has magnificent views of Snowdonia and Conwy Castle.
THE DEAL: B&B doubles from £180. 0800 089 3929
Set in 500 acres of Capability Brown grounds near Melton Mowbray. Enjoy the resident owl, falconry, clay pigeon shooting and riding.

Next station is Junction—change cars for all stops on the Rahway River branch!
"Rahway," he said, leaning close to her in order to see the name on the station.
Louis Bachelor, again in his place Rahway, tried to drive away his guesses at the truth by his beloved science.
His remains are interred at Rahway in this State, of which place he was pastor.
"And then take your transports, guarded by your fighting-ships, out as far as Rahway—" I continued.
It was at Rahway also that he first and last saw Mr. Louis Bachelor.
Get my Melton overcoat and my box, and have them at the Rahway station at 7.15 to-morrow morning.
He rode to the coast, and there took a passing steamer to Rahway.
Several years after, I went with my daughter to Rahway to see Mrs. Connelly.
It was delivered at Rahway, when our civil war was threatening, and contained a strong argument and appeal for the Union.

The type of product would not effect buildup; however, the amount of cyclomethicone in a product would.
For example, a conditioner that has cyclomethicone as the 10th ingredient is going to have less of it and will buildp slower than a conditioner with cyclomethicone (or cyclopentasiloxane, more commonly) as the second or third ingredient. Likewise, if a serum is primarily dimethicone and cyclomethicone is lower on the list, it would buildup slower than a primarily cyclomethicone serum like Frizz Ease.
Conditioners generally will have less cyclomethicone than a serum because it is a heavier, more substantial cone. Conditioners are more frequently having cyclopentasiloxane as the second ingredient after water, and these would build up slower than a cyclopentasiloxane serum that has cyclopentasiloxane as the first ingredient.
Silicone Cyclomethicone Water soluble? No Recommended cleansing agents cocamidopropyl betaine, cocobetaine, other mild surfactants, or conditioner washing

The Kramer "Woman's Paddle Holster" might be worth a look. The paddle design is such that a belt is not required, and the holster positioning and 'ride' are designed with a woman's body in mind. It will require something more than a tight t-shirt as a cover garment, but in my experience it is a quality holster that may fill your needs.
(I've carried a S&W M19 in one a bit - it's very comfortable, secure, and easy to use for me - and I'm a male with a decidedly 'un-feminine' body! The females who have used them in my shop have had only good things to say, assuming proper cover garments.)

text: Dear all: I had been running both BIND 8 and Squid under SuSe 6.2 until recently when I switched to RedHat 9 with BIND 9 and Squid from the 3 CDs. Both in the old SuSe and new RedHat 9 now, I configure BIND to use forwarding by adding to /etc/named.conf this: forwarders { N.N.N.N; // The IP of ISP DNS Server }; forward only; Now, BIND 9 always prints these errors below into /var/log/messages: --- Oct 29 11:09:37 nslinux named[2787]: client 192.168.1.154#1264: updating zone 'my.office.org/IN': update failed: 'RRset exists (value dependent)' prerequisite not satisfied (NXRRSET) Oct 29 11:09:37 nslinux named[2787]: client 192.168.1.154#1267: update 'my.office.org/IN' denied --- And my 1 Mbps Internet connection (leased line) has always been saturated since the switch-over.

Ob-Gyn questions? Ask a gynecologist online.
Hello, I am Dr Owen, I am a Board Certified Ob/Gyn Medical Doctor and I want to help you.
Are you asking for medications to help bleeding and/or the hot flashes too?
Hi -
Well MORE than likely this is just due to being perimenopausal as anytime after the age of 40 it is normal to start to have these symptoms
I'm looking for over the counter supplements or remedies or even foodstuffs I can consume to help reduce the bleeding moreso than the hotflashes (of course they're not fun either - so if there's something that could take care of both that would be excellent)
But you should get evaluated first too to make sure all is well and that this is just perimenopause because this could be a thyroid condition, a polyp, a fibroid, or possibly a precancerous/ cancerous condition - although it is VERY unlikely to be a cancerous condition - it is always good to get this evaluated.
What's involved in an evaluation usually? It is just a regular checkup?
Well as for bleeding - there really is very little to help for bleeding - but sometimes Ibuprofen/ advil helps 600mg every 6 hours, but a GOOD prescription that is NON hormonal to help for bleeding is called Lysteda (also known as Tranexamic acid)
The evaluation is a Pelvic exam, a PAP smear, a TSH thyroid blood test, a pelvic ultrasound, and an Endometrial biopsy (this takes a few seconds done in the ob/gyn office)
MORE than likely all the tests will be normal - and THEN you can assume this is Perimenopause.
Is there sedation involved during the biopsy?
To help with hot flashes - herbs such as Black cohosh, Chasteberry, Vitex or Dong quai can help
No, sedation is not needed - but to help with the minimal cramping you can get take Ibuprofen before you go to the doctor's office - it takes just a few seconds to do
Thank you
Also, NON- hormonal prescriptions for hot flahses include a medication called Clonidine (also known as catapress)
I wish you well
Please click on EXCELLENT for helping you
and have a great weekend coming up
Dr Owen

Fun Disney Picture Ideas
Pictures are some of the best souvenirs that you will take from Disney. So why not make them more fun! Here are some fun picture ideas that we loved.
Favorite Cast Members: We took the boat between Hollywood Studios and Epcot (See transportation article). We thought our boat operator was the dude. He could turn our boat on a dime! We decided to take a photo with him. From the look on his face, I think we made his day.
Jump Pictures: Nothing captures Disney fun like being suspended in mid-air. Need we say more?
Favorite Attractions: Disney World knows how to focus on the details. Even the signs in front of the rides are magical looking. My favorite ride is Rockin' Roller Coaster, so I got a picture right in front of the entrance. My husband's was Tower of Terror. What's your favorite ride or show? Take a picture in front of the sign for it.
Someone Else with Animals: We got a great shot with my husband and a giraffe. The giraffe looked right at the camera as I snapped the picture. There's only one rule when picture taking with animals...you are on the animal's schedule. Move the human and the camera and you might just get lucky with a photogenic creature in the background. For great shots, visit Animal Kingdom Lodge and walk out onto the overlook area. It's free!
The Iconic Classics: Cinderella Castle, Tree of Life, the geodesic dome (or that giant golf ball to most of us), and the Mickey Hat are must have pictures in my opinion. Capture the classic icon from each park.

Would we tolerate someone standing in a public square fomenting hate and dissent along racial lines? Of course not.
As we discuss matters of governance and public policy, let's not allow ourselves to sling mud at one another.
Civil discourse is healthy so long as it remains civil. Disagreements can and should exist, but as adult members of the same community, we need to ensure that these discussions remain polite.

Michael Jackson family says concert plans too much for him
By Alex Dobuzinskis
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Michael Jackson's father said the King of Pop was not ready to perform 50 shows in London, in a TV interview that aired the day the singer was scheduled to start his long-awaited comeback.
Joe Jackson told ABC News that his son told him that he only agreed to perform 10 shows in London, but that the concert promoter booked more shows to bring the total to 50.
"I was worried about his health, because all the shows that I'm seeing, no artist can do that many shows back to back like that," Joe Jackson told ABC News in an interview broadcast on Monday. "So I knew Michael couldn't do all those shows without some rests in between."
In a statement, Randy Phillips, president and chief executive of concert promoter AEG Live, acknowledged on Monday that the number of shows was originally lower, but said Jackson had agreed to perform more.
"Our original agreement with Michael Jackson called for 31 shows," Phillips said.
When the response to the initial announcement of 10 shows was so overwhelming, AEG Live went to Jackson's then advisor, Dr. Tohme Tohme, and asked if the singer would be willing to do more, Phillips said. The first show was scheduled for July 13 with the remainder were spread out until February 2010.
Tohme told AEG Live that Jackson would perform 50, and Jackson himself said he was motivated to embark on a record-setting run of concerts, Phillips said.
The singer, 50, had previously passed a lengthy physical head of his first live concert series in 12 years and was rehearsing in Los Angeles the day before his death. Continued...

To view Brandon Mably's latest designs for Rowan click here
Brandon Mably freely admits that he was a total disaster at school and found it difficult to settle to one hobby or interest as a child. However his love of colour and design always remained a constant throughout his young life and he has vivid memories of the pink plastic needles he used during knitting lessons at school.
After following a career in catering it was a chance meeting with Kaffe Fassett at a London bus stop that became a pivotal moment in Brandon's working life. Kaffe invited Brandon to visit his design studio, intrigued Brandon went along for a look. "As soon as I walked in I knew it felt right. I loved the colour and the creativity". Brandon started spending all his free time in the studio and eventually was fortunate enough to be given a job there.
Brandon soon discovered he had a natural flare for designing and an instinct for working with colour. Brandon's first solo knitting book was 'Brilliant Knits', followed in 2006 by 'Knitting Colour'. Brandon regularly contributes to Rowan magazines and has many dedicated followers. Brandon is an inspirational and enthusiastic workshop tutor who teaches and lectures all over the world. His passion for the craft of knitting and for combining colours shines out -
"I love showing how colours harmonise, how much you need to tickle a shade to bring the picture to life. But above all - how to look, look really well at something".

Designer Ket takes fresh new direction
March 26, 2001,
NEW YORK -A fresh, pastel and flowery mood will be one of the key design statements for home furnishings, said Milou Ket, the Dutch designer/forecaster. It's a cutting edge design statement for home furnishings.
At the same time, Ket explained, "The look is younger, more frivolous."
Colors trends for Boudoir, she said, are in flower pinks, lilacs, Hortensia blue, celadon, acid yellow, soft lime and soft turquoise.
Important fabrics, she added, will be in the voile, gauze and other transparency constructions.
Moving beyond the softer, more feminine looks, Ket picks Renaissance, "a rich, elegant mood with historical influences."
But she sees the look as "more understated, pared down and not too much or too serious."
Renaissance, she explained, brings shine and shimmer, "as well as hand made looks and one of a kind items."
Important colors for Renaissance are Gustavian blue, silver, off-white in a number of shades, taupe, soft yellow, terra cotta, gold and copper.
In another design family, Ket sees "Lounging" as an important statement, with light and dark combinations, spare with no superfluous decoration.
Overall, for Lounging, she related, "I see simplified shapes, angular shapes and lots of black and white at opposite poles."
Other important color statements for Lounging, she added, are grayed pastels, old rose, light blue and light green.
For emphasis, she noted, deep-purple, night blue, peacock, dark red and dark brown are other key colors.
