TH350 vs Saginaw 3 speed ?
I have to deside as to weather or not reuse the saginaw 3 speed tranny that came out of my (76 GMC ) shortbox pickup, or replace it with a TH350 auto because of budgit reason's. The saginaw came off the back of a 250 inline-6, that's getting replaced with a 355 sbc with close to 1 hp per cubic in, and a set of 3.40 gear's. The TH350 need's rebuilt in order to use it, and all the saginaw need's is a clutch and presure plate, and floor shifter. I like to bang the gear's, and i like to churp the tire's while not driveing to hard. The cam that's in the engine is a Lunati grind that does'nt need any stall (#00016) a Braket Master II cam with .218 @50. This truck is a daily driver sport truck, and would like some one's sound advice to ease the pain.
Thats a though decision to make but I would go with the Sag cuz I like banging gears too. Actually I'd be looking for a 4 speed Sag before I'd put money into a th350 rebuild.
unless you do a lot of city driving , i would go with the standard shift.
Hmmm... The world is a small place! I had the very same problem 30 years ago. I had a 65 GTO with a powerglide auto and I wanted to change it out to a manual trans. I wanted a 4-spd but didn't have the money at the time, SO I ended up with a 3-spd. Saginaw trans. I liked the synchronized 1st gear, and it was semi bullet proof, but weighted a ton being made of cast iron. My ONLY major problem with the setup was the shifter. The only shifter I could find was made by ANSON ...not great quality. The mounting bracket broke 3 times and it got so that if you didn't shift from 1st to 2nd a certain way the linkage would lock up. I finally fount a T-10 4-spd trans. I ended up selling the Saginaw to a circle track racer. Good Luck with your project! ...Mark
The thought of putting in an automatic crossed my mind...So my wife could drive my truck if she needed to. Then I said nawwww!
I had my 3 speed saginaw rebuilt many years ago and installed a hurst floor shifter in it. It was so much fun I got a 4 speed saginaw. I love it. It might not be the muncie I wish I had but it sure is sweet. And at a fraction of the price some people want for the more popular trannys. I've driven mine hard since I put it in back last summer with no problems. If you have a stock to mild small block you'll have to abuse it to kill it. But bear in mind you can also kill a T10, M21, or M22 if you try hard enough.

On the way: Australia will be among the first markets to get the jacked-up Mini Paceman coupe, which is based on the Countryman SUV as a rival for the Range Rover Evoque.
14 September 2012
By MIKE COSTELLO
AUSTRALIA will be among the first markets to receive the Mini Paceman three-door crossover revealed today in full production form ahead of its public debut at the Paris motor show on September 27.
Mini Australia has confirmed it will launch the high-riding coupe – based on the Countryman SUV but with a lower roofline – by March next year, around the same time as sales start in its UK spiritual home market.
As expected, the production version of Mini's answer to the Range Rover Evoque closely resembles the original Paceman concept from the 2010 Detroit motor show, with its sloping roof, raked window line and fat rear haunches, but features a grille lifted straight from the Countryman.
And as with the Evoque, there is a fair chance of the three-door Paceman costing slightly more than its five-door Countryman sibling when it hits local showrooms, suggesting a starting price of around $35,000.
Mini Australia product communications manager Scott Croaker told GoAuto that while local pricing was not yet established, "there is an expectation that there might be a bit of a premium".
The company charges $33,700 plus on-road costs for the base Cooper Countryman, while the flagship all-wheel-drive SD chilli commands $52,550.
The Paceman will be the seventh Mini model to enter production, joining a growing line-up that also includes the Hatch, Clubman, Cabrio, Coupe and Roadster.
Mini previously said it would investigate further expansion into other model niches, possibly using parent company BMW's brand new modular front-drive UKL platform that underpins the Concept Active Tourer revealed overnight (see separate story).
The Paceman will be available with four engines – two petrol, two diesel – all sourced from the Countryman.
Base Cooper and Cooper D variants will be powered by 90kW/160Nm petrol and 82kW/270Nm petrol and diesel engines respectively, while the flagship Cooper S will use a 135kW/240Nm petrol and the Cooper SD gets a 105kW/305Nm turbo diesel.
The Cooper S is said to sprint from zero to 100km/h in 7.5 seconds on to a top speed of 217km/h, while a range-topping John Cooper Works variant is believed to be in the works, powered by the 160kW/280Nm turbo engine from the JCW Countryman.
The car will come in both front-drive and ALL4 all-wheel-drive configuration and feature six-speed manual and automatic transmissions.
Mr Croaker said all four engines would probably be available Down Under, as they are with the Countryman.
The Paceman shares the Countryman's architecture and 2596mm wheelbase, but as befitting is sportier design gets lowered suspension (MacPherson front, multi-link rear). Mini will revert the set-up for no charge.
The four-seat cabin is said to feature "lounge-style" ambience and can accommodate 330 litres of storage along with a full load of passengers, expanding to 1080 litres with the rear seats folded flat.
The dashboard design is pure Mini, with an exaggerated central tachometer sitting above the main controls. The Paceman is the first Mini to have its window switches fitted to the door trim, rather than the central fascia.
Safety features and standard equipment will mirror the respective Countryman variants, with all models features six airbags, ISOFIX child seat attachments and an MP3-compatible sound system.
The Paceman is also the first member of Mini's line-up to be stamped with a rear nameplate sitting on the tailgate below the company badge.
As with all Minis, the Paceman comes is a wide range of colours and can be customised with contrasting colours on the roof and mirrors.
The production Paceman will feature on Mini's stand at the mammoth Paris show alongside the limited edition Mini Hatch JCW GP Edition, which is said to be the fastest Mini ever.

Dec 6, 2013 - By Craig Blumenshine, Staff WriterTrailing by three points at halftime, the Riverton High School girls basketball team exploded to outscore Windsor (Colo.) 16-3 in the third quarter but couldn't hold on in their first game of the season at the Cheyenne Invitational basketball tournament.
Riverton held on to a seven point lead with four minutes left to play but fell to Windsor 48-47.
"We moved the basketball very well in the first three quarters. I asked Jensyn Pettit (who is injured and could not play) what she saw. She said, 'I though we moved the basketball well and got the lead, but unfortunately that is kind of how we lost it. We quit moving.' She's right," Porter said.
Riverton used a zone defense that stifled the Wizards early.
"There are some bright spots and positives," Porter said.
Riverton was led in scoring by Savannah Salisbury with 16. Kiley Ridgway added 15, and Camey Fegler tossed in 12.
"The kids were disappointed, and that is a good sign. We need to get in better condition, and it will take us a while to settle on rotations," Porter said.
The Lady Wolverines battle Fossil Ridge, Colo. at 12:30 p.m. Friday and conclude their tournament vs. Cheyenne Central in a 3 p.m. Saturday game.
Riverton 12 10 16 9 -- 47
Windsor, Colo. 14 11 3 10 -- 48
Riverton (47) -- Trinity Goggles 1 0-0 2, Savannah Salisbury 5 3-4 (1) 16, Maci Evans 1 0-1 2, Kiley Ridgway 6 3-6 15, Camey Fegler 5 2-2 12.

If I Had Wings to Fly will be screening in Eugene, OR at the University of Oregon on Friday, September 26th from 6-8pm, in room 110 of Willamette Hall.
Bruno Seraphin will be there attempting to be clever and informative during a brief Q+A. Unfortunately, co-Director Harrison Topp will not be able to make it. Come! Tell your friends! It's free!
Sadie Adams singing Say Darlin' Say in our film If I Had Wings To Fly.
Our film goes farther north than ever before! It will be shown at the Montague Grange (36 Main Street) on Saturday, January 19 at 7 PM.
There will be a square dance and a live band following the film, with caller Jeff Golay. $5-15 at the door. Unfortunately, Harrison and I will not be able to make it for a Q+A.
Feel free to get in touch with the organizer, Colleen, at [email protected]
OK, maybe that's overstating it. But we have found a new friend in the world of film-making.
Filmmaker Brian Paul Higgins' multiple award-winning project, Cure for the Crash, is a fellow DIY road movie that blends fiction and non-fiction elements. He's been selling his DVD's at public markets in New Orleans, and now he's going to be selling our film, too.
Check it out here: http://www.cureforthecrash.com/home.html
You can buy both films at the French Market in the Quarter every day, and nights on Frenchmen Street!
Come and get it!
Come on up to Marshall this Friday night (November 2nd) for a screening of If I Had Wings to Fly at Good Stuff on Main Street!
When Harrison and I first moved to Marshall, Good Stuff was primarily a health food store. They sold a wide variety of teas, as well as some local crafts, and I think you could rent movies. Since then, they have expanded to be a sandwich shop, and a great film and music venue. They moved out of their smaller location and into an old church. Good Stuff continues to be a major social and cultural hub of Madison County! They rock!
Admission is free. We will be sharing the evening with an Old Time Jam (and maybe a square dance or two), as well as an opening for local artist Joe Dudasik. Food and beverage, music, dancing, art and film. Can't beat it!

text: Statehouse beat: Better late than never, I guess By Phil Kabler September 16, 2012 Story Share Probably very few voters realize there's a constitutional amendment on the Nov. 6 ballot to remove the two-term limit for county sheriffs.At least we thought that resolution was going to be up for a vote, before our old pal Thornton Cooper pointed out that, under the West Virginia Constitution, the secretary of state is required to publish notice of any proposed constitutional amendments in at least one newspaper in each county at least three months prior to the election.So while Aug. 6 was just another dreary Monday for the rest of us, it was Christmas come early for Cooper as he scoured papers from around the state to see if the legal ad had been published.He took delight in discovering that the secretary of state's office had dropped the ball, and failed to publish the required notice.(In fact, the ads did not run until the middle of last week, and only after Cooper advised Elections Division manager David Nichols of the omission.)Cooper, a retired state employee and a lawyer, said he has not decided whether to go to court to have the resolution invalidated. In part, that's because the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to take up his case challenging the constitutionality of the Legislature's congressional redistricting plan sometime this fall, and Cooper doesn't want to be dealing with both cases concurrently.As of press time, I had not received a response from Secretary of State Natalie Tennant's office over the issue of whether the failure to comply with the constitutional requirement for the legal ad publication nullifies the amendment.***I wonder if Thornton Cooper is related to Sheldon Cooper? Nah, I'm pretty sure one of them is a fictitious character. ***Recently, I noted that legislators attending the National Conference on State Legislatures' Legislative Summit in Chicago had to pay their own tabs for the states' night dinner since no lobbyists, who traditionally host the delegation's dinner, had made the trip.Although today is the deadline for lobbyists to submit their May-August spending disclosures to the state Ethics Commission, about three-fourths had filed by Friday, and it does appear that spending is down.Of the 400-some lobbyists who have filed disclosures, total spending on legislators and public officials stands at $50,007, down from $67,089 for the same period last year.Considering that $37,424 of the total is for campaign contributions, and another $7,500 is from lobbyists reporting sponsorships for the Southern Legislative Conference, held in Charleston July 28-31, there wasn't much wining and dining going on this summer. On top of that, another $2,994 of expenses are from a February 1 reception hosted by the National Association of Social Workers-West Virginia, the West Virginia Coalition on Domestic Violence, and state Child Advocacy Network that didn't get included in the January-March lobbyist disclosures. Paul Hardesty reported the largest amount of campaign contributions, totaling $6,650, following by Tom Heywood, at $5,000.Lobbyists are not required to identify candidates by name, since that information will appear on candidates' campaign financial reports, at least for contributions of $250 or more.However, at least two disclosed contributions to Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's re-election campaign: Mike Clowser ($1,000) and Robert McLusky ($500).Meanwhile, Tom Susman listed contributions totaling $2,229.43 ... wonder who got the 43 cents?Even with the relatively light spending this summer, lobbyists' spending on legislators and public officials has topped $400,000 since January 1, with the tally standing at $410,954.*** As predicted here some weeks ago, state Public Broadcasting Executive Director Dennis Adkins announced he will be retiring Dec. 21. (He'll have his five years to be vested for a pension by then, which should put him in the neighborhood of a $7,500 annual pension.)The friction between Adkins and those at WVPB trying to keep the TV and radio stations up and running on a comparatively shoestring budget, and members of the Educational Broadcasting Authority, who have lofty ambitions for original programming, was evident last week.The debate was over whether to enter into an agreement for production of a second season of "Abracadabra," the children's series promoting healthy eating and wellness produced and hosted by West Virginia Osteopathic School President Dr. Michael Adelman.The tension was palatable between EBA members gung-ho for the show (notably, Education and the Arts Secretary Kay Goodwin), and Adkins and WVPB production staffers concerned the production could eat up $45,000 or more out of WVPB's already tight budget for a product they suggested isn't going to set the world of children's television on fire.***Finally, seems a number of Marshall alums were quick to disavow Supreme Court Chief Justice Menis Ketchum, who despite being a Herd fan, got his undergraduate degree from Ohio University.Or, as Justice Brent Benjamin posed the question going into Saturday's showdown between the two mid-major powers, "Should he wear green and white, or white and green?"Reach Phil Kabler at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-1220.

What is in this article?:
- Demand-Driven Supply Chains Are In Demand
- DDSC in Consumer Packaged Goods
- DDSC in High-Tech
- Key Technology and Operational Capabilities
While the concept of demand-driven supply chains is relevant to all industries, the methods to get there can be quite different for different industries, with varying degrees of emphasis placed on demand-side and supply-side initiatives. Despite such a variation, there are many commonalities in the core IT and operational capabilities these companies need to develop.
Analysts and supply chain practitioners have been discussing the concepts of a demand-driven supply chain (DDSC) for a decade. We have been working with our customers across many different industries, to help them realize these concepts. What is fascinating and revealing is how the core concepts are manifested in different ways depending on industry characteristics.
A Basic Definition
First, let's get to a common definition of DDSC. The original impetus for DDSC was to understand the impact of latency and aggregation as information propagates up the supply chain from the source of demand to the suppliers, i.e., the bullwhip effect. Given typical supply lead times, suppliers generally produce enough to meet the demand forecast, which is only marginally accurate at the granular level at which inventory decisions (SKU/week) are made. However, as soon as it is known that the actual demand differs from the forecast, the supply levels need to be adjusted accordingly at each step of the supply chain. But due to the lag time between when the demand changes and when it is detected at various points along the supply chain, its effect is often amplified, leading to inventory shortages or excesses.
Companies tend to overcompensate by slowing down or speeding up production, which can cause inventory levels to fluctuate. This whipsaw effect is costly and inefficient for all participants.
Several important supply chain concepts have emerged in order to mitigate the bullwhip effect. These concepts are collectively referred to as "demand driven supply chain" and can be organized in terms of "demand side" and supply side" initiatives.
Demand-side initiatives focus on better ways to capture the demand signal closer to the source, analyze the demand to sense the latest and most accurate demand signal, and shape the demand by executing and tracking promotional and pricing strategies to steer demand in line with business objectives.
Supply-side initiatives generally have to do with lessening reliance on the forecast, by becoming more agile with faster response, when actual demand is known.
All of these strategies are aspects of being demand-driven, but it is rare to see a company pursue all of them. In fact, we have come to understand that, depending on the characteristics of the market and industry, companies will emphasize different elements. In this article we will look at the consumer packaged goods (CPG) and high-technology industries to illustrate this point.

This is a discussion on Wrong house within the Home (And Away From Home) Defense Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Recently I followed a post (it may have even been on another site), about whether one should wait until someone actually comes through the door ...
Recently I followed a post (it may have even been on another site), about whether one should wait until someone actually comes through the door before using deadly force in self defense, or just blast away through the door.
It was either in that post or another that I mentioned that sometimes cops get the wrong house when executing a no-knock search warrant. Others mentioned sometimes crooks impersonate cops by wearing "police" t-shirts or swat-like clothing.
Here's even another spin on the wrong house scenario:
In Cherokee County, Kan., authorities have charged Gregory Alex Sawin, a bounty hunter from Oklahoma, after he allegedly entered the wrong house while wearing a vest that said "police." He's charged with impersonating police, assault and criminal restraint, the Joplin Globe reports.
I personally want to see who I'm shooting at. I'd wait until you have decided that it's not your wife, brother, etc. before shooting through the door. That's what I'd do!
Sorry, I'm going to wait until I see who it is also, that's just my personal view on it.
"I dislike death, however, there are some things I dislike more than death. Therefore, there are times when I will not avoid danger" Mencius"
I would definitely wait. You already have the upper hand if you know someone is coming in and you're ready to shoot. I wouldn't be able to live with the consequences of shooting a loved one because I couldn't wait a few more seconds to make a positive ID.
"If you're not a liberal at 20, you have no heart, and if you're not a conservative at 40, you have no head." --Winston Churchill
These type events happen very quick, when the door burst open reaction time or just one step by intruder could be the difference in this discussion.
If I were called on to serve on jury of a case involving silent warrens served at wrong address, and home defense shooting at at the same event, I would hang jury or if serving on grand jury i would vote to NO BILL.
I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness,
nor the arrow for its swiftness,

There must be an immanent threat to life or severe bodily harm of an individual to use lethal force.It's mighty hard to prove immanent danger when you've got a door between you and the person entering.

Know your laws too.
IIRC most if not all castle laws dictate that the unwanted person must be inside your home and "threatening" your safety (caveat - Texas after dark = open season, no size restrictions and no bag limit).
If the suspect is already in your house and you are in a room with a closed door, you probably ought to wait for the door to open with you in a position to have a second to at least ID that the person is not part of your family.

Now if only I could persuade the other half to allow me one room in the house for a Man Cave...
A good alternative to this TV could be the Samsung PS63C7000 which you can find for about £2000 these days which has good 2D/3D picture quality - although it is does nto set the benchmark like this TV does. But it is a good option for anyone wanting a large TV for a relatively cheap option.
Erm, not too sure where to post this, somay just add it here- has TR considered making an iPhone/Android app for its website? so that even videos are converted to be played on the appropriate OS's too? i reckon it could go down well, and will make viewing articles a little more easier on the phone. Not bothered if it costs money or is free, as long as the UI is streamlined.
Does Panasonic tv's still come with the ugliest possible remote?
Seriously a TV in the price range of a decent second hand family car, it's not straight ten's across the board either LOL
This is an excellent set, but its size means the ugly and dated plastic bezel is very hard to overlook. The addition of a chrome 'go faster' stripe indicates it really is time for Panasonic to get some proper designers in house.
Agreed with the stinking design - again. Also, it's not thoughtful to ship glasses with a four grand telly. It'd be scandalous if they didn't. Since so many people are buying for a whole family, the more they ship, the merrier. It's one thing to add more controllers to a two hundred quid console. But at this price, you really want to stop spending money and just plug in and go.
Panasonic seems to be addicted to this type of design. I'm really left wondering what the age average of the design team is.
Apart from that, I cant for the life of me, understand why the best plasma panels rank the same or lower at times than their LCD rivals. It's crystal clear to me by now, that good plasma monitors offer a more vivid and cinematic picture than the best LCDs. And that makes sense when one considers the technology and working principle behind plasma and LCD.
Beside the KURO series, that had undoubtedly and by far the best picture among the rest of the TV industry at the time, there have hardly been any plasma panels worthy of a top rank, while plenty LCDs managed a 9 or better (10). I find it hard to believe that LED technology had such a big impact on picture quality to make us consumers overlook the serious disadvantages that come with LCD technology, when it comes to motion picture quality. Even though LED is a purer light source, the basic working principles still apply for LED TVs as they do with LCD.
I wouldn't rather see 10's all over the place. On the contrary, a top mark should be saved for something exceptional rather than something very good. What i do find strange though is the fact that there is no difference in rank between the -currently- best contenders from each category. One possible explanation is that each LCD or plasma model is competing the rest of its own kind rather than the rival technology, but I do find this ranking system missleading since it shouldn't be the technology but the result -picture quality- that is being put to the test.
Apologies for the big write up, cheers.
Much has been made of the 50hz motion issue with panning on other forums, but its only briefly been mentioned in the review - is this because TR thinks its insignificant?
How does this compete with the £2300 Samsung 63c7000 - I'm really looking forward to the review on this one as it appears to be much better value.
TR should send me one for Christmas :)
At this size arent you better off with a projector?
RE USB recording i bought a 1TB HD from Staples (think it was iomega)for 50 Odd quid and it was recognized straight away by my 50" G20 so its fantastic only use it for recording HD progs and my Humax for SD
is the 2d picture brightness of this tv better than the rather low 3d picture brightness -i wasnt sure after reading the review-it does seem to be implied
I'm a very lucky & proud owner of one of these monsters and I have to say, of all the AV kit I've bought over the years this and my projector are the two most fun and exciting to use. 3D content is very thin on the ground but this will change within a year but as a 2D Blu Ray display its almost on par with the last Pioneer panel. Only having them side by side though would show this. Avatar on Blu Ray looks AMAZING with the 24fps facility. If you have the money spare or can persuade the wife to sell a kidney GO FOR IT. Ignore all the "Oh the exclusive 3D Blu Ray tie ins is going to kill the tech" Rubbish, it will stall it but Pandoras box has been opened and the content, what there is of it, is VERY effective. Early adopters always have to pay the price to have the toys first but if you are one youll understand the physcology!!! LOL
Actually, I just purchased this TV today in Japan. I have had two projectors and 5 lamps in the last four years (I always have the set on). Total cost- more than this TV. Also, one must draw the drapes during the day, or see little or nothing.
I still love a projector for the evening, but if you are TV intensive - a projector just does not cut it.

Winter in the city, coats are everything. Most everyone you encounter will only see you in a coat, so if you're wearing a fabulous one, you're set. Done.
I am a coat person. I buy coats for every possible scenario: work days, weekends, evenings at the ballet, a day at the lodge (what?). Coats are the most satisfying purchase because I wear them many, many times a season, and I wear them for years. I've had a fuchsia princess coat since 2007, and I'm just now considering its retirement.
Perhaps I'll trade in the fuchsia for this amazing plaid? I think yes.

Post-partum hair loss
I had a baby boy 4 months ago and I have started to lose soooo much hair. I'm also experiencing scalp pain/itchiness. I know the hair loss is normal, but is the pain and itchiness in the scalp normal? Did any of you experience this, and what can I do to help with the pain/itch?
It didn't happen to me, but I've had friends who went through it. It's probably normal, but I know hair loss can be caused by hormonal issues, so I'd see a doctor just in case.
I think consulting a doctor is a good idea...preferably a dermatologist, but even a family practice doctor. You'll want to make sure the hairloss/itching really is from post-partum hormones, and not something fixable, like thyroid or fungal issues.
Thanks ladies. I do have an appt with our fam doctor next week for my son so I will ask her about my hair then. I hope it's just normal post-baby hair loss!
I did have noticeable hair loss after my second child, but once hormones got themselves back in balance or whatever, my hair grew back just as it had been before I was pregnant. I did NOT, however, have pain and itchiness, so I'm glad you're planning to see a medical professional.
Funny, I had the pain BEFORE the hair fell out! It felt like it was growing in places it shouldn't have been. Itchiness too.

ABSTRACT I: The goal of this study was to synthesize and characterize a set of coordination complexes containing 6pi-cationic ligands. These compounds could be extremely useful as catalysts for the polymerization of olefins that are widely used in the synthetic polymer industry. The original strategy was to synthesize the 6pi-cationic ligands using (Ph2P)3CH (1) and (Me2P)3CH (10) as precursors; however, both precursors 1 and 10 were found to be highly reactive leading to the fragmentation products (Ph2P)2CH2 and (Me2P)2CH2 respectively. In trying to control the reactivity, precursor 1 was coordinated to the group 6B metal carbonyl in two modes, Mo(CO)3(C2H5CN)(Ph2P)2CHPPh2 and W(CO)3(C2H5CN)(Ph2P)2CHPPh2. In these novel compounds, two of the three phosphorus atoms are chelated to the metal. These complexes were isolated and characterized by X-ray analysis, elemental analysis, NMR and infrared spectroscopy. When these metal complexes were reacted with B(C6F5)3, the complexes were stabilized, and no molecular fragmentation was observed. Instead, a second mode of coordination was observed by 31P{1H} NMR spectroscopy, where all three phosphorus atoms are bonded to the metal in a tridentate fashion, yielding the novel product EtCNB(C6F5)3, which was characterized by X-ray analysis. However, because there was no hydride abstraction from the tertiary carbon in either compound, further studies will be required to develop a strategy for hydride abstraction to produce a cationic ligand. Another strategy for the synthesis of 6pi-cationic ligands was to directly synthesize the halogenated version of the tertiary carbon atom of compound 10. Fractional recrystallization of the crude product yielded two compounds of 2,4,6-trimethypyridinium bromide and (PMe2)3CBr. (PMe2)3CBr was determined to be pure as revealed by 31P{1H} NMR. It is expected that oxidation of the bromide should yield the 6pi-cationic ligand. In the next strategy, density function theory calculations (DFT) were used to predict the possibility that the 6pi-cationic ligand of guanidinium analog would coordinate with a group 6B metal carbonyl. However, attempts to synthesize the predicted complex were unsuccessful; when neodymium nitrate was reacted with the 6pi-cationic ligand of guanidinium salt, a completely novel diguanidinium diaquapentakis(nitrato)neodymiate(III) was produced, as characterized by X-ray analysis, NMR, elemental analysis, and infrared spectroscopy. In the next approach, the synthesis of the 6pi-cationic ligand of guanidinium analog tripiperidine carbenium tetrafluoroborate was attempted; again the ligand could not be obtained; however, other novel compounds, 1-tritylpiperidine and diphenyldipiperidin-1-ylmethane were obtained as indicated by single crystal X-ray analysis. The last strategy was to synthesize a 6pi-anionic phosphorus-based complex using 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylaniline and PI5. While the desired complex was not obtained, another novel compound, 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylbenzenaminium iodide, was produced and characterized by single crystal X-ray analysis and 1H NMR. In conclusion, new strategies that combine DFT with novel synthetic approaches will be required to successfully produce coordination complexes containing 6pi cationic ligands. ABSTRACT II:The goal of this study was to assess effectiveness of using Calibrated Peer Review (CPR) for submitting post-lab reports. According to the literature the use of CPR could help improve students' writing skills (WS), conceptual understanding (CU) and critical thinking (CT). The first strategy of this study was to divide all students into two groups and required one group to use CPR for writing post-lab reports. The performances of the post-lab between the two groups were then compared. In second strategy I used an essay (pretest/posttest) to objectively assess students' writing skills that showed an improvement of 19% from students' who used CPR and 11% from students' who did not use CPR. When we compared the percentage of students who were not proficient in any areas (WS, CU, or CT) between the pre- and post-test, the CPR group has more improvement (22%) over the non-CPR group, which is 17%. Statistical analyses (t-test and ANOVA) for pretest and posttest scores have also shown significant differences in means and variances for CPR and non CPR students. In the third strategy we collected feedback from students through survey questions regarding the usefulness of CPR from their point of view. We have obtained low rating (2 on a five point Likert scale) about the use of CPR for writing post-lab report from students.

Local father dedicates event to dads
Bill Williams cherishes being the father of two daughters, a role he will celebrate at the city's first Father's Day Festival this weekend.
Williams will host the free event this Sun., June 16, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Conejo Valley YMCA, 4031 N. Moorpark Road in Thousand Oaks.
The festival will include musical entertainment, activities for kids, karate demonstrations and raffle prizes, plus food that can be purchased from California Pizza Kitchen.
Williams said Sunday's event will celebrate the joy of being a father and challenge a stereotype.
"(I want to) bring awareness that there are single dads out there that may have been widowed like myself," he said.
"There is a stereotype that dads don't bring up kids by themselves, and there are a lot (who do)."
The inaugural event aims to increase access to support services for fathers, such as after-school care and mental health programs.
"People don't know what to do with dads sometimes on Father's Day," said Williams, a consultant for Go Green Motion, a company that promotes the use of electric vehicles.
Williams is paying for most of the event's costs himself.
"Father's Day is the most important day of the year," he said.
Williams said he found his purpose in life after his wife's death left him to raise his first daughter alone.
He married the love of his life in 1988 and after two years the couple welcomed their daughter, Jordin. In 1992 his wife was diagnosed with inoperable cervical cancer. She died two years later, when Jordin was almost 4 years old.
"It was tough," the Thousand Oaks resident said. "I wasn't religious at the time. I started talking to God again because I was so upset. I reached out to friends and family. I wasn't going to make it alone."
Many people around him suggested he let his in-laws raise his daughter. But the single father brushed off assumptions that he couldn't take care of a child alone.
" That is when it finally dawned on me," he said. "God had given me my purpose in life. I was put on this earth to be this little girl's father."
Williams embraced his purpose. He learned to braid Jordin's hair, cooked for her and took her to Mommy and Me classes.
When Jordin started attending preschool, her father was anxious about their separation.
"They told me to stop calling to see if she was OK," Williams said. "I was so scared. She only had me left. I didn't want her to fear losing me."
Jordin, 22, said she wasn't comfortable at preschool and was pulled out after five days.
"I remember crying because my mom died. They told me I wasn't allowed to cry."
Her dad lifted her spirits. She remembers getting bagels with him in the morning before school and being picked up in a golf cart.
"(It was) some of the most fun I've had," said Jordin, who will graduate from Antioch University in Santa Barbara this month and plans to be a copywriter. "I had no idea about money problems, or how upset he was. I can't imagine how he got through all that. . . . He tries to make the best out of every situation."
But Williams soon found support. Five years after his first wife's death, he met Patricia.
Jordin came with him on their first date.
"It wouldn't matter if I fell in love, she had to get along with my daughter. We came as a package. Patricia was so nice and so warm."
The couple were married a year later. Together they had another daughter, Grace, now 7.
Among their father-daughter rituals are rounds of golf, trips to the bowling alley and karate class for Grace.
"Every time I look at her she's so proud of me being there. That keeps me going. I want her to feel like she can always talk to me," Williams said.
Grace, a second-grader at Ascension Lutheran School, said she appreciates her dad.
"He's really nice and supportive all the time and always there for me when I need him. And he takes care of me really well," she said.
Jordin said she has never been scared to discuss any subject with her dad.
"He's always there for me no matter what. He finds a solution to any problem. I can talk to him about anything," she said.
Williams said he tries to set a high standard for his daughters.
"(I want them) to learn how to see the good in people and make it through the hard times. I was devastated when my wife died, but I never gave up."
Like their father, who once traveled the world as a DJ and plays guitar and sings at the United Methodist Church of Thousand Oaks, both Jordin and Grace love to perform music.
Jordin sings and Grace has a guitar, a violin and a keyboard.
"It's a blessing to be a dad," Williams said.

Blessing The NetKate Carlisle
All of those viruses, Metallica MP3s, and Pamela Anderson JPEGs hurtling through cyberspace are enough to make a pious soul pray for help. Problem is, where to direct one's prayers? Some Catholic cybersurfers want to elevate St. Isidore of Seville to patron saint of the Internet. Supporters say the 6th century saint constructed the first database--called The Etymologies. He does have competition: San Pedro Regalado, a 15th century priest who, it is said, could be in two places at one time--a sort of medieval hyperlinker. So far, neither has clicked with the Vatican. In the past, however, thousands of patron saints have been designated by popular acclaim.

I've been living here in LA for over ten years now and it's been, and will probably remain to be, the most important ten years of my life.
I have a wide circle of great friends, somehow it seems to continue growing, and the best family a person could ask for. They'd all love it if I weren't on this site, to be honest, (lol) but we'll just keep it between you and I that I'm on here. What's the harm in trying?
I'm confidently introverted but almost all of my friends are extroverted (not sure how it always turns out this way). It gets exhausting but I somehow manage.
My favorite days are spent doing something spontaneous and many times outside the apartment. Long drives with no destination or walking through an undiscovered neighborhood, going to a movie (alone or not) with no preconceived knowledge of it being "a hit." I'm not one for saying no or ignoring a call late at night to go do something new or fun, just because. We only live once...
While all these things are really great what's even greater is sharing it with another person.
Let's make it happen :)
A crazy journey worth sharing
I can also make a pretty solid pour-over coffee
I seem to also have an iconic laugh that gets added to people's favorite's list for some reason lol
Daring Greatly, Frankenstein, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can't Stop Talking, Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas, What Everybody is Saying, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland, The Power of Now, How to Win Friends & Influence People
Zero Dark Thirty, The Hurt Locker, The King's Speech, Lincoln, Flight, Man on Wire, March of the Penguins, The Godfather, Jaws, Shawshank Redemption, The Shining, Crash, Toy Story, Paranormal Activity, Halloween
If you like horror movies, or could be talked into watching them, meet me at the alter in a white dress ;)
alt-J, Bibo, Bonobo, Kanye West, Sleigh Bells, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, The Roots, Common, Tribe Called Quest, Talib Kweli, M83, Miles Davis, Com Truise, Purity Ring, Neon Indian, Iron & Wine, Django Django, Madlib, The Doobie Brothers, The Allman Brothers Band, David Sanborn, Daft Punk, Sigur Ros, Hans Zimmer, John Williams, Radiohead, Pantera, Metallica, etc.

SOMEONE ELSE CHOOSE! lol
My Friday night vice every once in a while is a night at the cigar lounge with a book, cigar and whiskey
You're vulnerable (You don't have to prove anything to me- be honest and I'll accept that)
You'll share your plate- I'll definitely share mine
You appreciate the outdoors
You don't cringe at the thought of Disneyland :)
You can make me wonder why a gem like you would need this tacky site

The question is why do you think this is a bug? In one case, you
are starting with a machine precsion number and increasing the
precision, something that really isn't wise. In the other case
you start with an exact value and reduce the precision. Why
would you expect the same result?

A look at the Taliban
Talk of a possible U.S. military assault on Afghanistan
has put a world spotlight on that country's hard-line Islamic leadership. Here
is an explanation of how the fundamentalist regime came to power, what its relationship
is with Osama bin Laden and what role it could play in the future of the region.
Afghanistan was invaded by the former Soviet Union in 1979.
Ten years later, the Soviet invasion was in shambles, thanks to anti-communist
forces supplied and trained by the United States, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, among
others. The victors, known as mujahidin, or holy warriors, included bin
Laden. With the Soviets out of the way, the Muslim warriors began fighting among
Fundamentalists take over
By 1996, the Taliban,
translated in Arabic to mean "the students," managed to seize control
of most of Afghanistan. Five years ago, the Taliban offered to provide a haven
for bin Laden, who by then had been exiled from his homeland, Saudi Arabia. Bin
Laden, who has been implicated in terrorist attacks against U.S. interests worldwide,
reportedly gave the organization $3 million to boost its flagging military efforts.
Today the Taliban controls nearly 90% of Afghanistan, still harbors bin Laden
as "a guest" and is the primary focus of a global appeal by the United
States for a full-scale war against terrorism.
In the past three years, and possibly with pressure
from bin Laden, the Taliban reportedly has opened its training camps to would-be
terrorists from throughout the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
The Taliban's reclusive supreme leader, Mullah
Mohammed Omar, has imposed the world's strictest form of Islam on the people of
Afghanistan. Music, television, cinema and most forms of entertainment have been
banned. Teaching Christianity is punishable by death. Severe restrictions on women's
access to health care and education also have been imposed. Women must be covered
from head to toe when outside their homes. One woman, who was convicted of killing
her abusive husband, was executed publicly by rifle. In March 2001, the world
recoiled as the Taliban destroyed non-Islamic religious statues such as centuries-old
giant Buddhas.
In light of the Taliban's role
in harboring bin Laden, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have renounced
all diplomatic ties with Afghanistan's rulers. Only Pakistan now maintains formal
relations with the Taliban.

Dr. Michael Kirsch, who blogs as the MD Whistleblower, posted what amounts to a terrific primer on surrogate markers measuring things like colon polyps, arterial plaque, cholesterol, and tumor markers:
Evidence-based Medicine in Disguise: Beware the Surrogate!
He explains:
A surrogate marker is an event or a laboratory value that researchers hope can serve as a reliable substitute for an actual disease. A common example of this is blood cholesterol levels. These levels are surrogates, or substitutes, for heart disease. If a medical study demonstrates that a medication can lower cholesterol level 10%, then we assume that this will also lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. Why doesn't this same study determine if an anti-cholesterol drug decreases heart attack rates directly? After all, most folks would rather be spared a heart attack than have a silent decrease in their blood cholesterol levels.
Please read his entire post, but here's the punchline about the impact of surrogate markers on journalists' reporting – and on the public trying to make sense of stories and studies:
Those of us who have been reading journals for some time are skeptical before we celebrate the medical breakthrough of the day or week. What is sound medical dogma today may fade over time and become junk science. This is particularly true of surrogate studies, which are indirect by definition.
Those who earn their living and their reputations from medical research may have a different view on surrogacy than I do. Indeed, surrogate research is an important research tool, that can open important therapeutic avenues and stimulate additional research. We must be mindful, however, how easy it is to exaggerate their conclusions beyond the data. The public needs to understand this issue. Think about this the next time you read a news flash that promises a medical miracle. Chances are that the miracle is a mirage.
Some of us understand things better with a dose of humor. James McCormack, PharmD, provides it in this video, "The Surrogate Battle: Is lower always better?"
Other resources on surrogate markers:
- Dr. Victor Montori of the Mayo Clinic and two co-authors wrote, "The Idolatry of the Surrogate" in the BMJ. We captured excerpts of that piece on our blog. They wrote that the use of surrogate outcomes to suggest a benefit from medical interventions – instead of "important patient outcomes such as death, quality of life or functional capacity" – was damaging patient care.
- A piece in BMC Medical Research Methodology is entitled, "A perfect correlate does not a surrogate make."
- Also in the BMJ, Ray Moynihan wrote, "Surrogates under scrutiny: fallible correlations, fatal consequences." (Subscription required for full access.)
- On the JAMA Internal Medicine Blog, see "Surrogate outcomes: That's not why we play the game."
- See "The Slippery Slope: Is a Surrogate Endpoint Evidence of Efficacy," by John Fauber of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and Elbert Chu of MedPage Today. It's part of a series.
- For a deeper read, you might be interested in "Evaluation of Biomarkers and Surrogate Endpoints in Chronic Disease," a report by the Institute of Medicine.
- Dr. Vinay Prasad and co-authors wrote, "The Strength of Association Between Surrogate End Points and Survival in Oncology."
- For humor, along with education on this topic, see Hilda Bastian's Statistically Funny blog post about surrogate markers.
- We frequently comment on stories that fail to point out these caveats. A couple of examples were posted here.
- We've also written about drug ads and surrogate endpoints.

Why does Reduce work this way ...?
Hi folks,
This post is related to a previous series of posts about ReplaceAll in a set of inequalities.
I have "reduced" the problem to this unexpected situation:
In[1] FullForm[-3<=x<=1]
Out[1] LessEqual[-3,x,1]
In[2] Reduce[-3<=x<=1]
Out[2] -3<=x<=1
In[3] FullForm[%2]
Out[3] Inequality[-3, LessEqual, y, LessEqual, 1]
In[4] Reduce[ LessEqual[-3,x,1]
Out[4] -3 ≤ x ≤ 1
In[5] FullForm[%4]
Out[5] Inequality[-3, LessEqual, y, LessEqual, 1]
This defies my understanding. What is qoing on with Reduce?

Meant to emulate the over-dyed and patchwork handknotted rugs that are so popular today, Vintage interprets this look in a power-loomed quality with hand-sheared finishing that gives each design the look of a distressed, antiqued piece. Made of 100%NZ Wool. Due to the hand sheering of this product and in order to enhance the beauty of this collection each piece may vary slightly.

Placing the correct size rug in your space is as important as choosing the right color or pattern. A rug that it is too small will shift the balance of the room unfavorably. A rug that is too big, especially in open floor plans, may put the area designations off. There are a few rules of thumb, but a picture says it better.

|Alton's Christian Testimony
Alton Jones' Personal TestimonyEverybody called my grandfather "Papa". He was a very kind and generous man who loved to go fishing as often as possible. I guess that's where I got it from. We fished together practically every weekend from the time I was 3 until I finished high school. Sure, he taught me a lot about fishing, but it's the way he lived out his strong faith that really sticks in my mind. Even at such an early age God was placing people in my life to shape me and send me on my journey. His sovereign fingerprints are everywhere. Now, well over a decade into my career as a professional bass fisherman, I often reflect on my past. Looking back at where I've been is a great reminder for where I'm going. Sure, he taught me a lot about fishing, but it's the way he lived out his strong faith that really sticks in my mind. Even at such an early age God was placing people in my life to shape me and send me on my journey. His sovereign fingerprints are everywhere. Now, well over a decade into my career as a professional bass fisherman, I often reflect on my past. Looking back at where I've been is a great reminder for where I'm going.
I was raised attending church every Sunday, praying before each meal, and kneeling beside my bed each night before going to sleep. As a young child I learned the "right" answers to many spiritual questions and I was even baptized at age 6. At that time, however, my true motivation for baptism had very little to do with my need of a Savior. I knew I needed to be baptized before I could partake in the Lord's Supper. I couldn't stand watching my friends eating a "snack" in church, so I learned the right answers and got baptized. Now I was entitled to crackers and juice in church too.
It wasn't until 6 years later that God brought me face to face with my sin, the consequences of my sin, and my need to be born again as His child. God used my 7 th grade Sunday school teacher, Larry Sitig, to bring me into His Kingdom. Until that day I never realized that Jesus was punished for my sins in my place. One Sunday morning during the fall of 1975, in the quiet of my own heart, I asked Jesus to be the Lord of my life. I confessed my sins to Him, asked for His forgiveness, and pledged my loyalty to Him. Thanks, Larry, for being God's volunteer and for investing some of your time in the lives of junior high kids.
For months following my salvation I allowed doubts to creep into my mind. Was I really sincere when I put my faith in Christ? Does God really want to forgive me since He knows the true evils of my heart? I must have prayed to trust Christ at least 50 times during that year, just in case I wasn't sincere enough the day before. I discussed my doubts with another one of my Sunday school teachers and he had me write down on a 3 X 5 card the date and time of my conversion. He told me to pull out that card any time I had doubts. I was now certain that God had saved me! A number of years later I was baptized again, this time with much greater significance.
My high school years were a great time for me. God continued to place great role models in my life that served as mentors and examples to me. One in particular, Tim Savage, had a profound impact on my life. Tim was a student at Dallas Seminary who was working as a volunteer with my church's youth group. He met individually with me once a week and taught me how to study the Bible. God used Tim to show me that the Bible was much more than a collection of stories, but that it was true, and that it offered real answers to problems in my life. I learned that it was literally a message from God Himself to all mankind.
During these same years I began to see my parents grow spiritually. They would sit down early each morning and read the Bible out loud together. They never forced me to do this with them, but I began to see how important this book was to them. After all, they considered it to be worthy of getting out of bed at 6:00 AM. I often go up and sat in on their reading. Sometimes I sat there just to spend time with my Mom & Dad, and other days it was to hear God's word. But during those years God planted seeds in my heart and in my life that are still growing today. I am so thankful to have a Mom & Dad who are committed to serving Christ. I hope I can have the same impact on my kids lives that my parents have had on mine.
College was a struggle for me both academically and spiritually. I found it difficult to maintain consistency in my walk with Christ once I was out from under my parent's supervision. God, however, was patient with me and kept putting people around me who were committed to Him. I became good friends with Greg Snapp, and he was on of the greatest examples of living faith that I have ever seen. Greg inspired me and helped me get my life oriented back toward Jesus Christ.
While at Baylor I met my wife, Jimmye Sue, and we fell in love and got married. It is such a blessing to have a godly wife who is willing to serve the Lord no matter what. She is a rock, and God uses her daily to strengthen me.
Shortly after we were married she took a job as a nurse. I switched jobs a couple of times until Jimmye Sue encouraged me to pursue my long time dream of being a bass pro. I started fishing in as many bass tournaments as I could. That's what I'd always wanted to do, but I didn't feel God's leading until Jimmye Sue began to encourage me. God so often uses those closest to us to reveal His will to us.
I had a perfect plan for how God should direct my career. I'd spend 1 year "paying my dues", win an event or 2 during my 2 nd year, and win the Bassmasters Classic by the time I was thirty years old! Thirty, however, came and went and I had never even qualified for the Classic. By this time we had 2 children, and both Jimmye Sue and I felt like God desired her to quit her job and stay home with the kids. We wanted to follow God's will, but we just couldn't afford for her to quit work.
I was working as a guide between tournaments, but that money was supporting my efforts on the pro tour. We began to pray together with a group of close friends from church that God would clearly mark the path He wanted us to take, and that He would provide a way for us to do His will. We turned our hopes, dreams, and concerns over to Him. For the first time in our married lives we were actually seeking to follow the Lord NO MATTER WHAT. I was even willing to quit fishing if that was what God wanted.
Shortly thereafter I won my first major tournament and God provided us with about 1 years worth of Jimmye Sue's salary. She quit her job and we trusted that God would continue to provide for us. God's plan for my career was most certainly much different than my own plan. He took my on a zig zag course. It reminds me of the Israelites as God led them toward the promised land. If you look at a map God did not take them straight from Egypt along the shortest route. Instead He led them in circles in the desert for 40 years. But He did this for their own protection, and to prepare them to become the nation that would be His representatives to the world. God protected me and my family too, and He continues to prepare and equip me to fulfill my ministry. God works according to His perfect timetable, not mine.
God continues to place great Godly people in my life to look up to. Robert Mills and Bryan Baker, thanks for your faithfulness. Grant Kaul, you challenge me to go deeper. Glenn Chappelear, you make sure I am doing the work of the Kingdom. Little Alton, my son, your commitment to Christ inspires me.
My heart longs to have an impact on the lives of fishermen. I want others to know of the importance of God's Word and of the message it contains. Being a pro fisherman is really fun, but my career is merely the platform God has given me to spread the gospel and to share with others what God is doing in my life. I hope that one day I might be able to mimic the Apostle Paul and say "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith". You see, the work of Christ is a "good fight" and it is worthy of my life. I want to be much more than just a fisherman, I want to be a "fisher of men". Vince Lombardy once said that "success is laying exhausted in victory on the field of battle". May God grant me the perseverance to be a success for Him.
