The University of California, Berkeley (also referred to as UC Berkeley, Berkeley, California, or simply Cal) is a public research university located in Berkeley, California, United States.
The University of California was chartered in 1868 and its flagship campus — envisioned as a "City of Learning" — was established at Berkeley, on San Francisco Bay. Today the world's premier public university and a wellspring of innovation, UC Berkeley occupies a 1,232 acre campus with a sylvan 178-acre central core. From this home its academic community makes key contributions to the economic and social well-being of the Bay Area, California, and the nation.
A National Research Council analysis of U.S. universities concluded that UC Berkeley has the largest number of highly ranked graduate programs in the country. The analysis ranked doctoral programs within a range (such as between 1st and 5th), and found that 48 out of the 52 Berkeley programs assessed ranked within the top 10 nationally.
Over the past decade (2000-2009), the National Science Foundation awarded more Graduate Research Fellowships to UC Berkeley students than to those of any other university (MIT was 2nd; Stanford 3rd; Harvard 4th).
A 2008 student survey found that 52% of Berkeley seniors have assisted faculty with research or creative projects.
Public service by students: In any given year, more than 4,000 Cal students do volunteer work. UC Berkeley continues to be the only school in the country to have produced more than 3,000 Peace Corps volunteers since that organization's inception in 1961.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Hi Ian
I read your other post, and was wondering between the 3 you have if you may have a spare exhaust Ubend pipe (lol not sure on its name) But its where the water exhaust come from the manifold up in a U shape. Mine just recently blew out and i've been looking for a replacement to save some $ in getting a machine shop it make a brand new one.
So figured I'd post and see, Good luck with your rebuilds.
no, actually, its having had to rebuild an engine with 20.00 in my pocket and making it work.
A-4's are not a mystery engine. They are incredibly simple to keep running and take more abuse that should be possible.
Just put your thinking cap on, diagnose the problem, and they should start and run for decades (oh, wait, they have been running for decades)
Oh, additional machining type things...
On cranks, your goal is to not have oil leak excessively past the bearings, the way this happens is with "scoring" of the journals, meaning there is a clear "path" for excessive oil to fill the grooves, causing low oil pressure.
Pits on the crank aren't so bad, they'll actually "hold" a bit of lube, so its ok. Not as nice as a clean crank, but, take a look, it might make the cost differential work out in your favor..
Pits on the camshaft, are bad. Not so much for the bearing journals, as they are on the cam lobes. Pits on the cam lobes will wear out a set of tappets (things that raise and lower your valves) very fast.
Block "rust"
any machine shop is going to boil your block. That will clean out any internal passageways. Don't take it to a shop that is NOT going to boil the block.
Oil pressure.
as long as you can maintain 15 lbs, you're good.
Under 15 lbs?
instead of 30 weight, get some castrol 20/50. I'm not kiddin'.
Or,if that doesn't bring it up to 15 at warm idle, remove the pressure spring (I think its alone one side of the block and stretch it a little, or put some shims under it. don't arnold on it, you don't want 50 lbs of oil pressure, you'll blow the crank main seals.
remember, there isn't an oil filter and your tranny shares its oil supply with the motor, so keep your oil clean. Try to keep it clean anyway.
I think there a total of 2 bearings in the transmission. If its been under salt water for a length of time, then, they're going to be shot.
The only other item that could trip you up is the reversing "gear" assy. This thing IS a mystery to me. I don't know why it works, but it does. Make sure it moves freely (if you even attempt the tranny) and it'll be ok.
|I'd say that reply was well worth the wait. Someone actually knows his spit when it comes to A4 engines (among others).
block welding is a good prospect...
UNLESS there are places that internally that they can't get to. Reading your description of the one block (first?) that may be the case. They'll have to pressure test it before and after each weld, and that may be cost prohibitive.
Frozen pistons.
fill the cylinders with PBlaster... FILL them.
wait a week. then, using a wood block on the piston top... Whack the piston with a heavy hammer (a couple of pounds or more)like you're mad at your mother in law. repeatedly. If it looses just a little and then stops again repeat the soaking procedure.
you MAY crack/break a piston, but at this point, whats it going to hurt, eh?
Most likely, with any of the blocks, you're going to need to have it bored. I think .030. is the limit for oversize pistons. Have the machine shop bore ONE hole, the worst one. If that one is under .030 oversize, then you're good to go.
Don't be too concerned about surface rust. A good shot peen blasting will take care of the worst of it.
The cranks are cast and not hardened, so, they start to "rust up" on a humid day.
DO NOT order any bearings or pistons and rings until the machine shop calls and tells you what size to get.
A good thing to do is get the specs, and what size bearings are available. That way the machine shop knows how far to go.
If theres a part that a little "iffy" like, say the crank is @ .030 and theres little black marks on one of the journals, I'd say run with it. You're looking for "smooth" not to have holes filled in. The machine shop may hem and haw, but its your crank.
Cylinder boring is another issue, they've got to be spot on, and really nice. otherwise, the rings will "catch" and tear a line up and down your cylinder and you'll spew oil out the exhaust. lots of oil. This is ONLY true of the distance of piston travel. I've seen shops try to tell a client that they need a new block because the lower part of the bore is as rough as a teenager with acne, but the piston doesn't go there, so who cares.
Heads. they're a "flathead" meaning no valves in them, basically, they're a flat plate with some holes. Have it milled and that should be that (get the copper head gaskets)
Startes are easy. Wander into your auto parts store and buy one for a 1964 chevy nova with the 4 cyl. engine...
If you're worried about it being "marine-ized" take off the back plate from yours, remove the plastic insulator, and put it on the new one before you return the core.
There are no other differences in that starter.
Less than expensive repair alternatives...
Check with the local junior/community colleges in the area. Talk to the auto shop instructor, Chances are, they may have a machine shop on prem, or know of one that does good work. Also try the local "automotive tech" schools, down here, they've got names like ATI, Lincoln tech. The instructors there are always looking for "dead bodies" to bring back to life.
Paging CardiacPaul, aisle 3 clean up! He knows his A4's and visits here sometimes.
I would never have thought of posting your thread as a poll. It would be nice if there were a best choice of engine to start with but you have plenty of parts or so it seems you should be able to build 1 working engine from what you have.
I suggest that you post this question over at the Moyer Marine forums as well. The motor heads over there will want pictures of all 3 engines and while the advice may not come so fast it should be good as those guys know their A4's and many have done re-builds.
The description of the 3 engines is helpful but pictures would be even better.
Good luck.
Seattle (Bellevue/Renton) Atomic 4 rebuilding
Hi everyone -
I am in the process of trying to get 1-2 good Atomic 4s from 3 bad ones. They are all late model (oil fill over tranny) - 2 "latest" model (flat flywheel cover). Don Moyer has been helping me on this & already owe him lots of gratitude & an order.
I am looking for ppl who may be interested in working or advising on this in any capacity. I will likely have left over A4 stuff, happy to barter work or parts or even a loaner on the boat - hope to have it in the San Juans in 2 weeks (27 ft Newport). Looking to do this quickly and on a budget for at least for one of the motors. The other may be a good candidate for a higher quality rebuild.
IF U KNOW people with machine shops / motor rebuilders in the area, pls. let me know. I have the motors currently in our shop by 405 in N. Renton / S. Bellevue. I am looking for most of the following (tbd): Block welding, shaft balance, journal bearings, honing, oversized rings, magnaflux, hot tank - ON A budget - i.e. Renton/Auburn, not Yacht club rates.
Total are 3 motors - except 1 missing head, missing heat exchanger. Most parts are great, others horribly corroded,
1 fresh cooled but submerged, pistons frozen & immovable even w/out crankshaft. (#3)
Basics of the motors:
1. Cracked block/raw cooled (#1)
removed from boat-
Newer model (flat flywheel cover)
raw water cooled
Rebuilt water pump, new fuel tank/filters/hoses/wires, etc.
Start easily & ran well, good compression (90+ on all), generally well maintained, but not properly winterized - has freeze cracks. Got water in oil, but ran only v. little after that & internals look all good so far.
Carb looks clean & seems to run well but lots of vibration - good power, easy starting, no stalling. Lots of steam coming from oil fill when under power.
Current GUESS at a plan - suggestions appreciated - check to see if block can be welded - internal & external cracks visible (oil pan off). If so, possibly just weld (hopefully entire block w/ trans & pistons etc. can be heated in an oven to get a high quality weld?) -
light valve work
wire brush water passages,
new gaskets
? pull mainshaft & check for balance, polish
? pull camshaft & do heavier valve work
? new journal bearings (very lightly scored)
Put back in boat
2. Dissasembled motor - down to block, cylinders out of round but seems good/raw cooled (#2),
former owner was going to have rebored /honed
Rebuilt starter
Older new model - cast iron flywheel cover
Parts mostly covered in surface rust, including crankshaft - probably not usable
3. Motor on dolly - block bare except valves & cam still there, pistons frozen, mainshaft out
Fresh water cooled - probably a good block
Was submerged - gearbox looks v. bad, but mainshaft looks fairly good as do the journal bearings. lots of surface rust around valves, oil was the worst i've seen in my life, like a very thick cold milkshake, but it probably wasn't run w/ this oil as this was submerged.
Flat plate over flywheel
A plan MAY be to take the block & head & pistons from motor 3 & combine with with the rebuilt starter and the rest of the components from the motor that was on the boat.
Given that we are trying to do this somewhat quickly, I think I should order the gasket set now, but wonder if there are any other components I should order at this time so as to avoid delays. I am thinking a set of motor mounts would be good also.

Today aired YouTube video "hit[]" on Obama's "patriotism," "pastor, and his faith"
Research ››› ››› BRIAN LEVY
In a report on the controversy surrounding Sen. Barack Obama's former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, NBC's Lee Cowan uncritically aired clips from a YouTube video that Cowan said "hits not just on Obama's pastor and his faith ... but on the senator's patriotism, too." Cowan did not mention who was behind the video or comment on any of the video's content. However, the Politico reported that the video was created in part by Lee Habeeb, "a former producer of the Laura Ingraham Show" and currently "director of strategic content at Salem Radio Network, the conservative talk radio powerhouse." Cowan's uncritical airing of the video echoes similar reporting on Fox News, which has aired several YouTube videos smearing Democrats.
On the March 20 edition of NBC's Today, in a report on Sen. Barack Obama's March 18 speech on race and the controversy surrounding his former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, NBC News correspondent Lee Cowan asserted that the controversy "became a clear angle of attack" and noted: "Already there's a YouTube mini-movie out entitled 'Is Obama Wright?' " Cowan then uncritically aired clips from the YouTube video, which Cowan said "hits not just on Obama's pastor and his faith ... but on the senator's patriotism, too." Cowan did not mention who was behind the video or comment on any of the video's content. However, Politico senior political writer Jonathan Martin reported on March 19 that the video was created in part by Lee Habeeb, "a former producer of the Laura Ingraham Show" and currently "director of strategic content at Salem Radio Network, the conservative talk radio powerhouse that airs programs hosted by figures such as Bill Bennett and Hugh Hewitt."
Martin noted that "the incendiary video ... also includes footage of Malcolm X, the U.S. Olympians who raised their hand in the black power salute and the song 'Fight the Power.' " Martin reported that Habeeb said, "I didn't do this to make him like a scary black man," but, as Martin wrote, Habeeb made this assertion "despite the inclusion of Malcolm X, the black Olympians and a rap song by Public Enemy." On Today, Cowan aired the part of the video that included the U.S. Olympians Tommie Smith and John Carlos -- gold and bronze medalists, respectively, in the 200-meter dash at the 1968 Olympic Games, who stood with their heads bowed and black-gloved hands raised as the U.S. national anthem played during the medal ceremony.
Habeeb reportedly told Martin that he produced the video -- with two co-producers Habeeb described as "conservatives" -- because "I'm trying to join the YouTube generation and have some fun." He also said: "We wanted to see if we could get [it] in circulation," according to Martin.
Cowan's uncritical airing of the YouTube video echoes similar reporting on Fox News, which has aired several YouTube videos smearing Democrats, as Media Matters for America has documented.
Hours after the video aired on Today, Martin reported that "[a]n aide to John McCain was suspended from the campaign today for blasting out an inflammatory video that raises questions about Barack Obama's patriotism." Martin wrote that the staffer, "who works in McCain's political department, sent out the YouTube link of 'Is Obama Wright?' on twitter at 12:31 today with the tag, 'Good video on Obama and Wright.' It has since been taken down."
From the March 20 edition of NBC's Today:
LAUER: Now to Senator [Hillary] Clinton's rival, Senator Barack Obama, and his high-stakes speech about race a little earlier this week. Many people seemed to like it, but plenty of his opponents see the senator's response as a political opportunity. NBC's Lee Cowan has more.
[begin video clip]
COWAN: At the K&W Cafeteria in Fayetteville, North Carolina, lunch is served to a diverse crowd. For many here, Barack Obama's call for racial reconciliation was long overdue.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: For some things, you need to talk about and get it out in the open, so healing can start.
COWAN: But there were just as many who thought the speech some called "historic" may have done the senator more harm than good.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: I think, for the most part, it rubbed people the wrong way. I really do.
COWAN: The senator's political rivals see an opening in that kind of response. After months of images of the freshman senator who could do no wrong, the controversy over his relationship with his longtime pastor, Revered Jeremiah Wright, became a clear angle of attack.
WRIGHT: Not "God Bless America," God damn America!
COWAN: And Obama knew it from the start.
OBAMA: There's no doubt that, you know, that this will be used as political fodder.
COWAN: And he knew a single speech, no matter how historic, would likely not be enough to erase it.
RICHARD WOLFFE (Newsweek magazine): In some ways, he was always going to fall short because you can't stop that kind of thing, either being aired again or the memory of it.
COWAN: That was clearly evident. The airwaves are still full of sound and fury over Reverend Wright and Obama's reluctance not to come to terms with him sooner, despite his reasoning.
OBAMA: I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community.
JOE MADISON (radio host): I will say to white America -- especially you white men -- there's nothing to be afraid of.
PAT BUCHANAN (MSNBC political analyst): Well, they're not afraid, Joe, but I'll tell you this --
MADISON: Well, then why the reaction?
BUCHANAN: -- well, we don't like to hear our country spat upon and ranted against.
COWAN: Already there's a YouTube mini-movie out entitled, "Is Obama Wright?" that hits not just on Obama's pastor and his faith --
OBAMA: I wasn't in church.
WRIGHT: They live below the level of Clarence, Colin, and Condamnesia.
OBAMA: I wasn't in church.
COWAN: -- but on the senator's patriotism, too.
SINGER: And the home of the brave!
SCARBOROUGH: If Republicans had to select their opponent right now, it would be Barack Obama because they knew that this fall, they would have Barack Obama and they would tie Reverend Wright together with him as his running mate.
COWAN: Through it all, though, the senator can take comfort in at least one thing, and that's that the number of YouTube hits that his Philadelphia speech on race is getting, has now outnumbered the number of hits that the Reverend Jeremiah Wright's controversial comments have been getting -- at least for now. For Today, Lee Cowan, NBC News, Charlotte.

With yesterday's leaked brochure of the production version of the 2011 Honda CR-Z, a Temple of VTEC member wasted no time uploading what could be the first Mugen variant of Honda's new hybrid hatch.
Details on the mods are minimal, but the tuner appears to be working on a dress-up package that includes a new front bumper/splitter, side skirts, rear bumper and wing. Naturally, a new set of wheels are part of the package -- what appears to be a set of 17-inch, seven spoke hoops, likely shod in stickier rubber.
Given Mugen's strong ties to Honda, expect the full kit to be available through dealers in Japan when the CR-Z goes on sale early next year.

Practical Life
For young children, the mastery of everyday tasks is an important step toward building self confidence. Tasks such as buttoning buttons, zipping zippers and snapping snaps are essential for young hands to accomplish and teach children to concentrate and extend their attention span. Students learn to care for themselves as well as others by understanding the importance of completing a task, cleaning up and returning the materials to the appropriate place, ready for the next person to use.
Sensorial Training
Children learn best when allowed to touch, feel, hold, smell, listen, see and taste; the sensorial materials are designed to refine these senses and illustrate their use as a child's tools for exploring the world. Children experience the similarities and differences of size, weight, texture, color, sound and other properties as both concrete and abstract concepts.
A basic tenet of Montessori education is that understanding is often a matter of seeing and touching. Special materials help the child to see and feel numbers and thus to understand them more completely. Basic principles of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are taught first with materials the child can feel and manipulate, then later in more abstract form — again, according to each child's own pace and interest. Elementary students also learn basic concepts of algebra and geometry.
A child's command of vocabulary is stimulated in all classroom activities. Children are encouraged to participate during lessons, to ask and answer questions, tell stories, explain activities — all to help them organize their ideas. Once the sounds of the letter symbols are known, the child can begin to use them, first to construct words with the letters of the moveable alphabet and then to read. For elementary students, requisite daily reading is augmented by our extensive school library and occasional trips to the nearby George Mason Regional Library. Reading and writing skills are taught and interwoven throughout the program. Grammar, spelling, cursive and research skills are all part of the basic Elementary curriculum.
Cultural Studies, Primary Level
The world of our Primary students is expanded through art, geography, nature and science studies. Many materials are present in the classroom for daily use, with each area emphasized at different times by special lessons, projects and experiences such as field trips.
Social Sciences, Elementary Level
History, geography and social studies often focus on the children themselves. Through the study of their universe, planet, country, state, town, their species and their personal histories, Elementary students gain a clear and tangible understanding and perspective of their place in the course of human and natural events. MSNV students are fortunate to live in a region so rich in social and historical significance, an area full of examples to illustrate a variety of lessons.
Physical and Natural Science, Elementary Level
"Plant the seeds of all the sciences," directed Dr. Montessori and at MSNV, science is an exciting and popular subject. Studies in botany, zoology, physics, astronomy and chemistry are explored through individual projects aided by field trips and natural observation.
Arts and Crafts
Children begin early to express themselves with painting, paper cutting and design. Craft skills are introduced initially to enhance fine motor development. Students use a variety of artistic media to increase skills, communicate and enjoy the process of creating artistic works. Students study the contributions of art to world cultures and its significance to our society.
Physical Education
Maria Montessori recognized that the development of motor skills is an essential bridge to understanding basic language and mathematical concepts. At MSNV, mind and body coordination are integrated and the spacious classrooms allow children to be physically active. Outside, carefully planned and constructed play areas provide room for vigorous physical play. Our physical education goal for the Elementary child is to be an active, happy participant, while developing fitness and skills in a program that fosters good human relationships. A variety of strategies and activities are used to accommodate the diversity of skill levels. Safety, fun and good sportsmanship are emphasized.
The music program at MSNV is based on the concepts of German composer Carl Orff. The framework of Orff Schulwerk is built upon things children love to do: sing, chant rhymes, clap, dance and keep a beat on whatever is near at hand. In the beginning, children learn by hearing, imitating and making music together. Children at MSNV get their first musical experiences from their own speech, songs and poems interpreted dramatically and embellished with percussion instruments and the beautiful Orff instruments. These are wooden and metal xylophones and glockenspiels. Creative and imitative movements are used to foster self-expression. Children are given opportunities to share these musical activities for other students and parents throughout the year.
Just as when learning a language, we speak first and then later learn to read and write. At this age, experiencing music in all of its forms is much more important than learning how to read notes. At MSNV children 5 years and older learn to read rhythmic notation and in some cases musical notation.
The materials used include folk music, seasonal and traditional songs and rhymes, Mother Goose and games and dances. The basic methods of "Orff-Schulwerk," with its progressive structure, integration of musical elements and self-paced, hands-on technique, are fully compatible with the Montessori philosophy.
Spanish language instruction is part of the educational program for all Primary and Elementary students. Children are taught through a process of progressive mastery of skills: listening and speaking first, followed by reading and writing. The use of finger-plays, rhythmic verses, songs, visuals and games at all levels makes language instruction more enjoyable and thus more effective. Folk songs both expand students' vocabularies and introduce Spanish cultural, geographic and historical elements as well. The Montessori technique of hands-on learning is applied through the physical dramatization of information in brief, simple activities and repetitions that encourage a sense of mastery and progress.
Computers are important tools in today's world. In the classroom, computers are one of many resources available to children. More advanced readers doing independent research may use the internet with supervision to augment other information sources. Children may also work on keyboarding skills or publish stories using the computer.

Opinion: How should one build a wireless network?
Sven: So, say Ole, do you build a house from the ground up, or start with the roof and work down?
Ole: Why, you start at the ground and work up, of course!
Sven: Dang! Now I have to tear it down and start over.
This old joke illustrates the situation facing companies that are early adopters of today's wireless process instrumentation and other accessories. Most are starting at the ground and creating point-to-point solutions or small mesh networks to test and validate technology for themselves. Most instrumentation providers are encouraging this activity to make users more comfortable as they consider adopting wireless in more applications.
Emerson Process Management offers starter kits with enough instrumentation devices and supporting equipment to set up and prove a small battery-powered mesh network. Its position is that this will help companies take first steps toward expanding to a more inclusive network. Emerson, Honeywell Process Solutions, Sensicast, Elpro, and others, have been very enthusiastic in their declarations that wireless works, its performance is proven, and it is available right here, right now. Even though standards issues aren't completely resolved, there is no meaningful technical reason to drag your feet and hold back from adopting it.
That being the case, I was taken aback when I attended Invensys Process System 's user group in Dallas in early December. The message presented was low-key to the point of telling customers they shouldn't get too carried away with wireless as yet, and that wide adoption is probably still at least three, perhaps five years away. Any presenter making such a suggestion at Emerson's Global User's Exchange would have been yanked off the stage. Invensys' message isn't so much that the technology isn't ready, but that it shouldn't be adopted willy-nilly.
Hesh Kagan, Invensys' director of new ventures is spearheading the wireless product promotion and stated that wireless networks need management, much more than wired networks doing similar functions in the same plant. Consequently, Invensys is taking a top down approach, stressing that networks must be designed and managed from the outset to meet key business objectives. Ad hoc networks, using mixed vendor platforms, and launched by various departments will soon become hopelessly confused and unmanageable, wasting bandwidth. Critical information will get lost. Instrumentation will drop out. Companies that let that happen will incorrectly conclude that wireless just doesn't work, wasting huge amounts of money in the process. Something that should be a key enabling technology for improved process control will be scrapped because it wasn't adopted correctly. (Have you seen this happen in real life? If you've had an experience along these lines, I am interested in hearing about it. Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com .)
Wireless solutions, according to Invensys, are largely ready to use, at least from a technology standpoint. The company's offerings use hardware made by Dust Networks, with network infrastructure designed by Apprion, for integration with Invensys' larger control systems. If a company can design a system sensibly (and Invensys will help in that critical process), there is no technological reason to wait. Still, it's better to take it slowly and do the planning the right way, rather than doing something just for the sake of getting a wireless project moving. Decide first how you can best put wireless to work, plan and prioritize the most critical and time-sensitive needs, and then implement carefully following your internal roadmap.
Some might consider this approach excessively cautious, or like building a house from the roof down. On the other hand, planning your strategy carefully is good advice that applies to any vendor. Should it stop you from implementing small networks on an experimental basis? Probably not. Most companies are a long way from clogging their wireless bandwidth. Is Invensys being too conservative? Will they effectively take themselves out of the early adopter wave? Time will tell. Wireless implementation horror stories will certainly receive wide circulation through industry grapevines.
Of course, if you have the right plan, maybe you can build a house from either direction.

Using Xbox Kinect
The game would be bases on energetic combat. The map would could be in a natural setting like in the woods next to a mountain. Two opponents would have an aura shield around them and would attack each other using the energy from the aura.
Example: The game starts and I can see my opponents aura glowing. I motion my hands in front of me to create a ball of energy like subzero. As I send the energy I get a % subtracted from my shield. Say I hit my opponent with the ball of energy it will do a certain % of damage and give energy back to me. Lets say while the ball of energy is traveling over, my opponent see that he is behind in the attack and immediately sends a lighting bolt of energy off his hand straight to me draining my energy before my ball hits. Then when my ball hits I get charged up and my opponent is all charged up from draining me with a direct hit from the lighting bolt.
Battle continues - Since I see my opponent is not a noob - I then quickly create 2 small balls of energy and send them hovering over my opponents aura. Then immediately strike him with a bolt from my hands and bring him down to 50 % health and just when he is about to get me back I send the balls hovering around him in for the kill.
The way I see this game is very realistic and in 3D. I was really big into halo and can appreciate the exchange of energy in that format. Everyone notices when someone that is very good gets down on themselves emotionally their game goes with them. This game would put you face to face with that more than any other game. To own at this game would also mean you are a very mentally and spiritually powerful person.
Most of my inspiration comes from playing a lot of poker (NL Holdem) and DOA4. Also do a lot of meditation, mantra, pendulum dowsing, spiritual stuff.
It would also be cool to incorporate the chakra system into the game play. For instance if I shoot a lightning bolt into someones 1st chakra there connection with the earth would be hindered and couldn't recharge as fast, or if I hit the 6th chakra (third eye) they would loose focus. Each chakra is different. The third chakra would be based on strength. I wonder how the second chakra would be affected, its the sexual chakra. Ouch!
Maybe turn it into an MMO and have a bunch of friends go on missions and take down some monsters.
It would be cool to see a bolt of lightning come off the TV (3D) and into my third eye.
Well that's my idea.... still working on what to call it, any ideas?

Any pics would be helpfull, as well as any info on how to get a pair of wings that large for cheap (If someone has a pair that they aren't using I'll trade you my entire Situation A Alucard cosplay for them complete with glasses, guns, gloves, and a giant light-up doggy head) I especially need pics of him from the back. And if anyone has seen him cosplayed before I'd really like to see the costume! Thanks in advance to everyone for your help!

What if the press did context?
Blog ››› ››› ERIC BOEHLERT
Imagine how much more illuminating the 'debate' over the stimulus package would be if the press ever bothered to put the partisan sniping in context. Here's one example.
The press today continues to focus on the GOP doomsday scenarios about what Obama's economic initiative will mean to America and how it's going to gut the economy. How it will put America on the road to "financial disaster," as Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) declared last weekend. And of course, his dire rhetoric generated headlines. ("We're taking an enormous risk -- an enormous risk -- with other people's money," added Sen. Mitch McConnell this week.)
The press takes these swipes very seriously, in part because the press always treats GOP rhetoric about the economy and finances seriously. Why? Because Republicans know economics. Everybody inside the Beltway understands that CW.
Just like the GOP knew economics back in 1993 when the new Democratic president Bill Clinton struggled to get his centerpiece economic legislation passed. Back then the GOP was sure the bill was a recipe for disaster. At the time Newt Gingrich announced "The tax increase will kill jobs and lead to a recession, and the recession will force people off of work and onto unemployment and will actually increase the deficit." He was positive a recession would ruin America's economy within the "next year," or even "over the next 60 days."
And Newt wasn't alone. The whole GOP crew was in Chicken Little mode and the press back then, just like today, made sure to record and amplify every dire warning: "A recipe for economic disaster," warned Phil Crane of Illinois. "It is going to lead to a Clintastrophy, an economic Clintastrophy," added Indiana's Dan Burton.
That rhetoric, which clearly failed to foresee the 1990's decade worth of prosperity under Clinton, is eerily similar to the GOP rhetoric today. But the press can't, or doesn't want to, note the connection. Instead, the media opt for context-free coverage of the stimulus 'debate.'

Guest post by Brother Martin Fergus:
Dear Kappa Sigma Friends & Brothers,
I am proud to announce that the 2010 National Student Peace Alliance Conference will be held at Southwestern University on February 26-28. This conference will focus on evidence-based programs that are effectively reducing and preventing violence both at an international and domestic level. The conference will bring together 500 pro-active, pro-peace and solution-oriented young people from across the country to unite around a common, and practical, goal — peace.
Such a prestigious honor for our University could not have occurred without the hard work of the recently deceased Rob Atkinson, the national legislative director for SPA, and the hard work of many other active Iota members involved in Student Peace Alliance at SU. This Conference will most certainly make an impact in Texas as well as on Kappa Sigma nationally.
As we want to make this conference as effective and impactful as possible, Kappa Sigma actives are launching a fundraising campaign to support the conference with the goal of raising $1000 by the date of the conference. We are one month away.
Please consider making a contribution to help provide the proper resources and financial support students need to make this conference exceed the University's expectations and make a difference in Student's lives.
You can donate at: http://www.studentpeacealliance.org/give/give or mail a check payable to "Student Peace Alliance" at The Peace Alliance, PO Box 27601, Washington, District of Columbia 20038. If you are interested in sponsoring the conference or would like more information please call 325-518-5889.

4/26/09: Update: Martin did not win the race but we congratulate him on a great campaign. You can read about the results courtesy of the Megaphone Online.
Our active brother Martin Fergus is running for Student Congress President. For those of us who can't vote, we wish you the best of luck on election day, April 8, 2009!
Martin's running on a robust platform…
• Martin will enforce transparency in Student Congress activities, policies, and resolutions. There is no reason why information about our initiatives as Student Congress should be difficult or a challenge to find. Student Congress has an obligation to represent its constituents in a clear and professional manner.
• Martin plans to develop more effective and efficient organizational practices for Student Congress. As President, Martin will move our Congress in to the 21st century of student government by using centralized information with electronic and internet tools like Wiggio, Twitter, blogging, and websites in order to create a stronger Congress that responds quickly to problems and allow the voice of the campus to be heard.
• Martin will facilitate public exposure for Southwestern's Congress. Our student Government is a body that is supposed to work for the students. He will work to make Congress well recognized and promoted on campus so that students are energized about the issues that matter.
• Martin will revitalize partnerships between Student Congress and Student organizations. There are a lot of strong organizations around campus that make up the life and energy of Southwestern and Student Congress should be there to help work alongside these organizations. Martin will promote policies that will help give all student organizations the resources they need to fulfill the initiatives they are striving for.
• Martin will strengthen communications between representatives and the Executive Council.
• Martin will work with the administration of Southwestern University to allow for greater autonomy and freedom among the student body.
• Martin will launch strategies to help alleviate the financial burden on students in this time of economic struggle.

Saung Angklung Udjo Bandung
The Angklung is an Indonesian musical instrument that is made from bamboo. It is made up from eight or more individual frames, each producing one of the eight notes on the musical scale. Depending on the type of Angklung, the musician either shakes or strikes the frames to produce music. When combined with other instruments in an orchestra, the Angklung contributes a beautiful twist.
The performance at Saung Angklung Udjo features the Angklung, but also incorporates Wayang Golek (wooden puppets), traditional dance, and the children's orchestra into the show, so it's interesting to watch as well as listen to.
The show begins with an abbreviated Wayang Golek demonstration of about 20 minutes.
A full performance typically goes for eight hours. Wayang Golek is a traditional Sudanese theater drama performed by wooden puppets. At the beginning of the performance, all the puppets that will be in the show are lined up in front of the stage. The puppets on the left are the bad guys, and on the right, you have the good guys.
Wayang is written to characterize different aspects of human personality – greed, anger, lust, empathy, joy, etc. There are many popular renditions, but they all deliver a moral message. Usually, the message is to treat others as you want to be treated – the seeds we sew determine the harvest we reap.
The Helaran is used both as a circumcision, and harvest celebration. After a circumcision, all the boy's friends gather in joyous celebration to make him forget the pain. The harvest celebration is a festive celebration of thanksgiving.
Two segments of Kandaga Mask Dance are also performed. The dance tells the story of the Kencana Wungu Queen being chased by Prabu Menakjingga, who was madly in love with her. There are two acts to the dance – one without masks, and one with.
The first act – The Queens bodyguard investigating the situation.
The second act – The bodyguard fights Prabu Menakjingga.
The final dance is the Angklung Jalpong. It's an erotic dance that originated from the Ketuk Tilu folk dance.
The audience gets to participate during the show too. They teach everyone to play the Angklung by giving everyone an instrument that plays a single note. Each instrument is numbered – the conductor uses a variety of hand signals to let you when to shake your Angklung. And, following the final dance, the audience is invited onto the dance floor to dance with the performers. It's all good fun!
The late Udjo Ngalagena founded Saung Angklung Udjo in 1966, with his wife Uum Sumiati. Today is is operated by his son. It is a combination workshop, education center, and cultural center.
The workshop strives to produce the finest Angklungs in Indonesia.
As an education center, children attend their regular school in the morning, and study music here in the afternoon.
The cultural center strives to preserve Sundanese culture offers the daily performances that are held daily from 3:30 to 5:30 pm. Admission is Rp.80,000.

1 Chronicles - Chapter 21
1 Chronicles Chapters
1 Satan took his stand against Israel and incited David to take a census of Israel.
2 David said to Joab and the people's princes, 'Go, and take a census of Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, then bring it back to me and let me know the total.'
3 Joab replied, 'May Yahweh multiply his people to a hundred times what they are today! But my lord king, are they not all my lord's servants in any case? Why should my lord insist on this? Why should he involve Israel in guilt?'
4 But the king enforced his order on Joab, and Joab set out, travelled throughout all Israel, and then returned to Jerusalem.
5 Joab gave David the census results for the people: all Israel had eleven hundred thousand men who could wield a sword; Judah had four hundred and seventy thousand men who could wield a sword.
6 Joab had found the king's command so distasteful that he did not include Levi and Benjamin.
7 God looked with displeasure on this and punished Israel in consequence.
8 David then said to God, 'I have committed a grave sin by doing this. But now I beg you to forgive your servant for this fault, for I have acted very foolishly.'
9 Yahweh then spoke to Gad, David's seer,
10 'Go and say to David, "Yahweh says this: I offer you three things; choose which one of them I am to inflict on you." '
11 So Gad went to David and said, 'Yahweh says this,
12 "Take your choice between three years of famine; or three months of disaster at the hands of your enemies, with your enemies' sword overtaking you; or three days of Yahweh's sword, an epidemic in the country, while the angel of Yahweh wreaks havoc throughout the territory of Israel."
13 David said to Gad, 'I am very apprehensive. Better for me to fall into Yahweh's hand, since his mercies are very great, than for me to fall into the hands of human enemies.'
14 So Yahweh unleashed an epidemic on Israel, and seventy thousand Israelites succumbed.
15 Next, God sent the angel to Jerusalem to destroy it, but as he was about to destroy it, Yahweh looked down and felt sorry about the calamity; and he said to the destroying angel, 'Enough now! Hold your hand!' The angel of Yahweh was standing by the thresh-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
16 David, raising his eyes, saw the angel of Yahweh standing between earth and heaven, a drawn sword in his hand stretched out towards Jerusalem. David and the elders then put on sackcloth and fell on their faces,
17 and David said to God, 'Did I not order the people to be counted? I was the one who sinned and actually committed the wrong. But these, the flock, what have they done? Yahweh my God, let your hand lie heavy on me and on my family; but spare your people from the plague!'
18 The angel of Yahweh then ordered Gad to tell David that David should go up and erect an altar to Yahweh on the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
19 So, at Gad's bidding, given in Yahweh's name, David went up.
20 Ornan had turned round and seen the angel, and he and his four sons with him had hidden.
21 When David arrived Ornan was threshing wheat. He looked up and saw David and came off the threshing-floor and prostrated himself on the ground at David's feet.
22 David then said to Ornan, 'Let me have the site of the threshing-floor, so that I can build an altar to Yahweh on it; let me have it at the full price -- so that the plague may be lifted from the people.' Ornan said to David,
23 'Take it, and let my lord the king do what he thinks fit. Look, I shall give you the oxen for burnt offerings, the threshing-sleds for the wood and the wheat for the oblation. I shall give everything.'
24 'No,' said King David to Ornan, 'I insist on buying it at the full price. I will not offer Yahweh what belongs to you or bring burnt offerings which have cost me nothing.'
25 So David gave Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the site.
26 There David built an altar to Yahweh and brought burnt offerings and peace offerings. He called on Yahweh, and Yahweh answered him with fire from heaven on the altar of burnt offering.
27 Then Yahweh ordered the angel to sheathe his sword.
28 Whereupon, seeing that Yahweh had answered him on the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, David offered sacrifice there.
29 The Dwelling which Moses had made in the desert and the altar of burnt offering were at that time on the high place at Gibeon,
30 but David could not go there to consult God because he was terrified of the angel's sword.

Bible Resources
The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) is a Catholic translation of the Bible published in 1985. The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) has become the most widely used Roman Catholic Bible outside of the United States. It has the imprimatur of Cardinal George Basil Hume.
Like its predecessor, the Jerusalem Bible, the New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) version is translated "directly from the Hebrew, Greek or Aramaic." The 1973 French translation, the Bible de Jerusalem, is followed only "where the text admits to more than one interpretation." Introductions and notes, with some modifications, are taken from the Bible de Jerusalem.

Travel Guide Asia Cambodia Siem Reap Angkor
© All Rights Reserved twiggy
Close to a million people visit the ruins of Angkor each year and for good reason. Located to the north of Cambodia's Great Lake (Tonle Sap) and south of the Kulen Hills, not far from Siem Reap, this is without much doubt Cambodia's number one attraction and one of the most amazing places in the world. There are over a thousand temples in Angkor, ranging from little more than piles of rubble to the amazing Angkor Wat, the undisputed star of the show. This ruin is one of the most famous in the world and a trip to Cambodia is not complete without a visit.
Once a mighty force in South East Asia, the Khmer Empire dates back to the year 802, when it was established by Jayavarman II. The city of Angkor stood at the centre of this mighty Hindu empire and grew to become the largest known pre-industrial settlement, spanning a massive 3,000 square kilometres (roughly equivalent to Los Angeles).
Angkor Wat, the main temple in the Angkor region, was built during the early 12th century by King Suryavarman II. It was built as a personal mausoleum and was dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu.
Following Suryavarman's death in the mid 12th century, the empire entered a period of strife. Ultimately this led to weakness, which was exploited by the neighbouring Cham people. The capital, Yasodharapura, was sacked and the reigning king killed. A prince, who later became King Jayavarman VII, took control of the empire and defeated the Cham. His reign was considered the greatest and during his time he had the walled city of Angkor Thom constructed. King Jayavarman also transitioned the Khmer empire from Hinduism to Buddhism, which has remained as the principle religion of Cambodia.

After a long period of decline, Angkor's powerful position eventually came to an end in the 15th century when Thai invaders, pushed out of China by the Mongols, sacked the city. The Khmer Empire then moved its capital to present day Phnom Penh.
Angkor was gradually taken over by the rainforest until 1860, when the French explorer Henri Mouhot came across it and alerted the world to its existence. Sadly, Westerners came and looted many of the relics from the temples for museums or private collections. A long restoration process was started in 1907 and saw large areas of forest cleared, foundations repaired and drains installed to protect the city from water damage. This process was stopped in 1970 when the Cambodian civil war made aid workers flee the country. During the civil war there was intense fighting even in the temples.
After the end of the civil war restoration work was started again. The first step was to remove the land mines that had been left among the temples. Today the process of restoration continues even with up to a million visitors a year coming to see the ancient city of Angkor.
Angkor Wat is the largest religious monument in the world. The temple grounds are surrounded by a huge moat. The only way in is via the huge causeway over the moat. The main temple buildings are still out of view at this point, but the outer walls are visible across the moat with their distinctively shaped towers, which have been likened to giant corncobs.
When people in the rest of the world say Angkor Wat, they are referring to a massive collection of temples which covers many square miles. In actual fact, Angkor Wat is the name of a single massive temple. In addition to being one of the best-preserved monuments in the area, it is undoubtedly the most grandiose. It is for this reason that this single temple gives its name to the entire area, which includes nearly a thousand temples in the surrounding 200 square kilometre or 75 square mile area.

Temple of Bayon has four large carved faces oriented on the four cardinal points (N,E,S,W).
Also referred to as the Royal Terrace, the Terrace of Elephants considered one of the masterpieces commissioned by Jayavarman VII. Even today in its weathered state, it is impressive in a way quite different from the grandeur of the temples. The 350-metre-long (almost a quarter mile) terrace is 2.5 metres (or 8 feet) in height and features many stone carved elephants.
The curious name of the Terrace of the Leper King comes from a sculpture found on top of the 3-metre-high carved terrace during the 15th century. Interestingly, the subject of the statue was neither a king nor a leper. Apparently, the discoloration and moss growth on the old statue had made it seem like it had leprosy. Terrace of the Leper King is located north of the Terrace of Elephants.

The Baphuon is a hulking temple, with three levels and a rounded top. Symbolically, the state of the Baphuon is a testament to many facets of the history of Angkor Wat, both positive and negative. It began as a hugely ambitious and grand project, yet due to its sheer size, it eventually crumbled on its foundations. It was built as a Hindu temple but was converted to a Buddhist temple in the late 15th century as the religion took hold across the nation. In more recent history, it has undergone intensive restoration, a process interrupted by the chaos brought about by the Khmer Rouge. Only now is it being fully restored, paralleling the slow recovery of the Cambodian nation itself.
Ta Prohm was orginally called Rajavihara, meaning "Royal Temple". It was built by King Jayavarman VII in the late 12th and early 13th centuries. The temple conveys a sense of discovery and other-worldliness beyond that of the other temples. The main reason for this is that Ta Prohm has been spared the restoration efforts given to other temples. Be sure to take note of the battle between nature and Ta Prohm, as the jungle is slowly engulfing the temple.

Located to the west of the Elephant Terrace and through the Royal Gardens is Phimeanakas. Phimeanakas is known as "the celestial temple," and is one of the older buildings from the old capital of Yasodharapura, which Jayavarman VII incorporated into his new capital, Angkor Thom. Phimeanakas was built at the end of the 10th century by a king named Rajendravarman II who reigned from 941 to 968. However, the temple as you see it today was rebuilt by Suryavarman II in the 12th century. He refashioned it as a three-tiered temple and crowned it with a wooden tower, which no longer exists.

You need to buy a ticket in order to enter the temple-ruins area. Tickets are sold at the entrances to the area and it is possible to buy 1-day ticket for US$20, 3-day ticket for US$40 and 1-week tickets. The 3-day ticket is the best deal, simply because there is so much too see and it would be a shame just to spend a single day here. Although if someone is willing to spend sun rise to sun set at the temples, wear good shoes and move fast it is possible to do Angkor justice in one long day.
From Siem Reap it it possible to rent a bicycle, a moto/tuk-tuk (motorcycle-taxi) with driver or a car with driver. The motos are quite nice because they offer shade in the sunny season and shelter in the rainy season. You should pay US$10-15 for an entire day starting between 7:00am and 9:00am.
It is possible to rent an air conditioned car for the day in Siem Reap. This is more expensive then renting a moto/tuk-tuk although can be more comfortable during the hot dry season. Talk with your hotel about arranging a car for the day.
The only buses in Angkor are tour buses and those are few and far between. It is best to rent a car or a moto/tuk-tuk.
Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport (REP) has flights with Air Asia and Malaysia Airlines to Kuala Lumpur, Asiana Airlines to Seoul, Bangkok Airways to Bangkok, Cambodia Angkor Air to Phnom Penh and Ho Chi Minh City, China Eastern Airlines to Kunming and Nanning, China Southern Airlines to Guangzhou, Jetstar Asia to Singapore, Korean Air to Seoul and Busan, Lao Airlines to Luang Prabang, Silk Air to Da Nang and Singapore, and Vietnam Airlines to Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Luang Prabang.
There are a few restaurants in Angkor but they tend to be over priced. Ask your driver about finding slightly cheaper food. There are plenty of vendors selling snacks near the major temples.
There will be countless kids trying to sell water and other beverages. Remember that there will be a convenience charge that is negotiable.
as well as Utrecht (12%), Peter (8%), Hien (7%), Sander (1%), dr.pepper (1%), Pipin (1%), agc_cwm (1%)

Hi Deanna,ReplyDelete
I am a new follower of your blog, and you have a great site with lots of great ideas. Your success has been very inspirational to many of us out here, and speaking for myself, it has helped to re-kindle my joy in teaching. I have created a blog and would love for you to check it out!
keep up the good work
Thought you might like to know how far your influence has spread. I am a Grade 3 teacher in Alberta Canada and though I don't use many of your items, I do follow faithfully because of your creative nature. This year our class will try the decomposing pumpkin activity that you have blogged about. I watched your interview on CNN and was so happy to hear of your accomplishment of reaching a million dollars in sales on TPT. I was touched when you reached that earlier milestone (was it $20000) and purchased the van for your brother! Just wanted to say "God bless..."ReplyDelete
All of your ideas are so superfantabulous! I love dropping in and checking on things you're doing in your classroom! I have a quick (kinda random) question for you. I have made things that I'd like to share with other teachers but have used clipart from places like Scrappin' Doodles and DJ Inkers and don't think that I can share it. How could I fix what I create to share it with others, using clipart that is okay to share? Thanks for taking the time to read!ReplyDelete

Hey guys , I recently bought an 04 wrx wagon. It has a stock filter at the moment, and I was thinking of putting in something better that gives noticiable power to the car. Which would be the best one, or a good cold air intake to put in? Not too expensive, I'm looking around $100-150.
Thank you

AT&T has unearthed another video from its archives, this time producing "Adventures in Telezonia", in which a odd-looking puppet instructs viewers on the proper way to use a telephone. If the name "Telezonia" sounds familiar, it's because the company re-did this film in 1974, using live actors and even more creepy "residents".
According to AT&T, this film "was part of an educational package distributed in grade schools for kids to learn proper telephone usage. The package contained the 18-minute film, a filmstrip with different supplemental content, a children's booklet, and a teachers' guide. The company also had telephone sets - two brightly colored telephones - as a learning aid that were available to go along with the package."
By 1950, about 60% of U.S. households had a telephone, AT&T says, so the goal of the project was to educate children on how to use the phone system.
It's interesting to note how many times AT&T (and the Bell System before it) created film packages like this to promote the use of the phone. In modern times, it would be like if Apple created films like these to distribute to schools, teaching students how to use the iPhone or send a text message.
