Assessment via discriminant analysis of soil suitability for effluent renovation using undisturbed soil columns
Carroll, Steven P., Goonetilleke, Ashantha, Khalil, Wael Al-Shiekh, & Frost, Ray L. (2006) Assessment via discriminant analysis of soil suitability for effluent renovation using undisturbed soil columns. Geoderma, 131(1-2), pp. 201-217.

The use of onsite wastewater treatment systems for the treatment and disposal of effluent is common in urban fringe areas which are not serviced by centralised wastewater collection systems. However, due to inappropriate siting and soil characteristics, the inherent failure of these systems, in particular subsurface soil treatment systems, are numerous. In order to ensure that these systems are capable of providing adequate treatment and disposal of effluent in the long term, it is essential that the soils' ability to both renovate as well as dispose of discharged effluent is adequately assessed. This paper discusses the outcomes of a research study undertaken through the use of undisturbed soil columns, to assess the ability different soil types to treat and dispose of primary treated effluent. Discriminant Analysis (DA) was utilised for classification of the various soil types based on their respective physical and chemical characteristics and to identify relative changes in each soil type after an extended period of application of effluent. Ferrosol and Dermosol soils were found to provide the most satisfactory conditions for effluent renovation. Kurosol, Sodosl and Chromosol soils even though were found to provide suitable means for removing effluent pollutants, reductions in the soils' permeability over time indicated that these soils may not be appropriate for long term effluent treatment. Finally, Podosol soils were found to have minimal ability to provide adequate treatment of effluent.

Honestly I dont think Envato cares, look how many request theme authors get with "stylesheet missing" threads, comments and emails to the authors they number in the hundreds a week, yet all it would take is adding a simple notice above the download area/confirmation email/user profile or a notice after purchase
Of course we care, there's just a lot of things to care about. It doesn't just cause frustration for authors and buyers, it causes frustration for Envato dealing with support tickets on the same topic.
I've been wanting to tackle this for a while, but have been told that the way things are structured makes it difficult. Seeing this thread has nudged me to try a different angle. I've had a chat with Pete, and we might have a solution which would allow us to have a second download link with only the installable zip.
Looking into it, but no promises on timing just yet

Can we please make this option of automatically including the license folder optional? I'm perfectly happy to manually include the license file. This automatic inclusion is going to create a huge amount of unnecessary trouble for both authors and customers.
We could make it optional, but I'd rather automate it in a way that matches how and where you would place it manually, since we've clearly missed something. Can you go into a bit more detail about how the current automated placement fails, and where you'd prefer the files to be automatically placed instead?I assume this is specific to WordPress plugins (rather than themes), but please let me know if this is not the case.
Thanks for looking into this, Justin!
Let me preface this by saying that I have not actually experienced this yet with my own plugins – I'm basing this off of of QuanticaLabs' initial report, as well as cmoreira's report (so they may have better insight – I've personally avoided updating till the issue is resolved to avoid any problems). Here's how things have worked in the past:
1. Plugin author submits plugin.zip, which is simply a zipped version of the plugin folder. The contents probably look like this:
/plugin -- /plugin.php -- /includes -- /documentation
(alternatively, an uninstallable package that would require to the customer to unzip the download package and install an plugin zip contained inside would have this structure:
/plugin-package -- /plugin.zip (contains the structure of first example, minus /documentation) -- /documentation
The difference is that the first .zip is a plugin archive that is installable directly to WordPress; the second is a package that needs to be manually extracted by the customer to install the plugin archive contained inside it.
2. CodeCanyon renames the zip file to codecanyon-111111-plugin-name.zip
3. Customer downloads plugin. They can (a) unzip to the original plugin folder name and upload that folder to wp-content/plugins, or (b) install this entire archived .zip package directly, because the zip contains plugin.php in the top level of the archive (this is the heart of the matter, and what the new directory is breaking)
Now, the /license directory is also added. Again, I haven't seen the exact structure myself, but I suspect the resulting archive structure is either:
Scenario A
/plugin -- /plugin.php -- /includes -- /documentation /license (same level as /plugin, rather than a subdirectory)
which I think becomes uninstallable via the WordPress admin panel because the zip can only have one archived top level directory (that's conjecture on my part, but I assume that'd be an issue as WordPress isn't expecting two directories in a plugin zip). I suspect this is what would occur if the command to "add /license to plugin.zip archive" were run
Scenario B
/plugin.zip (within the codecanyon-1111-plugin-name.zip archive) /license
In this case the download package is not installable because the actual plugin zip is nested. I suspect this structure would be the result of running the command to create a new archive containing the contents plugin.zip and /license.
My apologies if these assumptions are inaccurate, but I don't have any way of testing this without submitting an update.
The structure that we would need to have in order to allow the download package to be installable as a plugin AND add the licensing automatically would be
/plugin -- /plugin.php -- /includes -- /documentation -- /license (as a subdirectory of /plugin)
Essentially, we need the /license directory added as a subdirectory of the top level directory in the archive (in this case /plugin), rather than as a top level directory itself. (I hope that explanation makes sense, as I may not be using 100% accurate terminology here).
Not knowing exactly what the process is on the back end to add the license folder, I won't speculate on the best way to accomplish that.
I hope that's helpful! And again, my apologies if any of this is off-base.
Thanks again for looking into it!
^5 for a briliant explanation. Even I understood that
Australia said
^5 for a briliant explanation. Even I understood that
I'm relieved to hear it came through clearly!
@sevenspark good overview! What's happening is Scenario A. A directory is being added inside the zip we upload. I was using the first file structure you described, so this makes the main zip incompatible with WP install, as you described.
Now I've been using the Second file structure you described, to make it a bit easier for users, now that the license folder is added.
This user might be having problems because of this. (speculating, I don't know the reason of course).
Anyway, the file should be processed something like:
if (main.zip includes only 1 folder) { include license folder inside that existing folder; } else { include license folder inside zip (top directory); }
Something like this, correct?
justinfrench said
chrisakelley saidI never got this :/
I actually just shot an email to Justin as well(with screenshots)
I resent it
Thanks everyone, here's what we do on our side:
We unzip the mainfile you upload, add in a new top-level directory "licensing", add the files into that directory, zip everything back up. There must be something odd about how some zipping programs work (or how we're unzipping server-side) because what we're doing seems to make sense to me on my Mac.
We'll have a fix out for this ASAP.
@sevenspark has described the issue very well. The same is for themes as well, not only for plugins. In fact I've noticed that after updating one of my themes. I've just replied to your email @KingDog. Fell free to contact me again, I'll be glad to help on this.
And what is the conclusion at the end?
How we can avoid adding licensing/ folder as top level folder?
Is there any way to force adding it as subfolder in plugin/ folder?
We have a lot of support tickets about installing issue since last update
Hey guys, any update here?
I'm in kind of a tight place because I need to release an update, but I don't want to cause issues for my customers (with over 15,000 using this plugin, even if only 10% are upgrading then that creates a lot of headaches). Do we have an ETA on when this will be resolved? Or can it be temporarily disabled until it is resolved? Or can I request that the license in my file is moved manually by the reviewer when I upload?
Thanks guys!

Cameron Diaz Has A New Man In Her Clutches
Cameron Diaz and Bradley Cooper are the new thing. They've been hanging around NYC, and she makes Bradley switch the radio stations whenever Justin Timberlake comes on. Which is hard, because that fancy lad is all over the dial.
Cameron Diaz and her latest fling, actor Bradley Cooper, spent a romantic New York weekend together. They dined at Asia de Cuba at Morgans Hotel Saturday night and then hit the "SNL" after-party at Primehouse on Park Avenue South. One onlooker told us the twosome "were very close and lovey. Something is definitely going on, and it's clear they are more than just friends."
I'm glad she's burying her obvious heartache by showing a new man around town. But Jessica Biel still might want to open her mailbox very carefully and slowly. Because you know she's going to hear rattling one day. And it's not coming from the Publisher's Clearing House envelope. HISS!
More photos of Cameron Diaz taking in a game with Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher are after the jump.

Supply chain managers face productivity challenges
September 1, 2011
As Americans prepare for the long Labor Day weekend, supply chain managers may wish to consider how they can regain some measure of lost productivity in the fall.
"Major U.S. manufacturers have been trying to do too much with too little in the workforce," said IHS economist, Patrick Newport. "Hiring is obviously needed, but there's still the underlying concern that the economy has not hit bottom."
The U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, noted today that the nonfarm business sector labor productivity in the second quarter was revised down to -0.7 percent (previously -0.3 percent). A downward revision to output accounted for the downgrade.
Other observations shared by IHS are these:
• Year-on-year, productivity is growing only 0.7 percent.
• Unit labor costs for the nonfarm business sector, the second key number in this release, increased 3.3 percent during the quarter (previously 2.2 percent). Over the past four quarters, unit labor costs rose 1.9 percent, the fastest year-over-year rate since the fourth quarter of 2008.
• Manufacturing productivity fell 1.5 percent during the second quarter (previously -2.0 percent).
• Productivity in the nonfinancial corporate sector in the first quarter increased 2.3 percent (previously 1.4 percent). In the second quarter, productivity in this sector was up a whopping 4.4 percent, with the output index up 7.5 percent and the hours index up 3.0 percent.
The revisions do not alter the underlying story, economists told SCMR. Productivity is still dropping. Wage inflation is climbing, but remains low.
"Why is productivity dropping? Several explanations come to mind, but at this point, it is hard to say with certainty," said Newport.
He said one reason might be that that new hiring in the private sector is slowing the workflow, since it takes time and staff to train new employees. Another is that the existing employees, "worked to the bone," is spent. The run up in commodity prices earlier this year and the Japanese earthquake, which created inefficiencies throughout the economy, have probably also played roles. A fourth possibility—that the numbers are just wrong—should not be discounted. Productivity numbers get revised many times over several years before they get etched in stone.
Meanwhile, wage inflation is inching up, but remains low. Unit labor costs were running at a 1.9 percent year-on-year rate in the second quarter. A year ago, they were dropping at a 2.5 percent rate. The deflation threat is distant, and there are no signs that wage inflation is nearby.
Manufacturing productivity, output and unit labor costs were revised back to 1987. Productivity growth in manufacturing for 2007-2010 was revised up from 1.6 percent to 2.0 percent, as a result.
"The near term outlook for productivity is not promising," said Newport. "We expect its growth to remain sluggish—mostly below 1.0 percent over the next eight quarters. Over the past 50 years, productivity averaged 2.1 percent."

Theories of Social Order: A Reader
Stanford University Press, 2003 - Social Science - 356 pages
This collection of readings provides a compelling exploration of what arguably remains the single most important problem in sociological theory: the problem of social order. Contending that the purpose of theory in the social sciences lies in its ability to explain real-world phenomena, Theories of Social Order departs from the standard theory reader by presenting classical texts alongside contemporary theoretical extensions and recent empirical applications to explore this substantive theme. Its unique approach focusing on theories rather than theorists and on one overarching question rather than a disparate array of issues encourages students to compare various factors and mechanisms, seek common analytical themes, and develop a deeper theoretical understanding of the problem of social order. Further, by pairing theory with empirical research, the volume helps students appreciate the relevance of theory to their own lives, to the research enterprise, and to the development of better social policies.
Readings have been selected based on their relevance to classical theoretical issues and are all accessible to a non-technical audience. Editorial introductions to each section discuss the causal mechanisms in each theory and make explicit links between the classical and the modern texts.

The wheel is a three spoke design, with the two horizontal spokes housing all the controller buttons and the D-pad. Behind the wheel are two large paddles for changing gear – these work superbly and make it far easier to drive with a manual gearbox. There's a battery pack at the right hand side for wireless communication, while there's also a headset connector so you can chat to your competitors while racing.
The final part of the puzzle is the pedal box, which has the same high quality look and feel as the rest of the ensemble. The throttle pedal is very large, while the brake pedal is mounted quite high, making the setup ideal for heel and toe aficionados. Of course with a lack of clutch, you could just left foot brake, but if you're used to heel and toeing on your change downs, you'll probably just use the one foot like me. The advantage of the single foot technique is that you can also keep the pedal box steady with your left foot – not that it tends to slide around too much anyway, but keeping it planted with your left foot means that it won't slide away no matter how overexcited you get.
Now, when you first plug in the wheel and start playing your favourite driving game be prepared for some initial frustration. In fact switching from using the controller to a steering wheel is not easy, and you'll probably find yourself underestimating the amount of lock needed for bends and then overcompensating disastrously. But if you persevere you'll soon realise that the subtle control that the wheel affords you is superb. Lift off the power just enough to get the back out, apply copious amounts of opposite lock and get back on the power, while remembering to unwind the lock as you exit the bend of course!
This wheel provides the perfect amount of feedback. It doesn't go overboard with the shaking and shuddering, but does go light or fight against you exactly when it should. But most impressive is the feedback that you get from the road surface – obviously this is going to be dependant on the game you're playing, but with both Project Gotham Racing 3 and Need for Speed: Carbon, the wheel accurately conveyed changes in road surface and camber. The feedback is subtle, but if you're used to driving a car with good steering feel you'll instantly feel at home with this wheel.

Fantastic review. I am thinking about getting this before Forza 3. I heard Microsoft might be releasing a steering wheel with a clutch pedal. Would you know anything about this? As I don't want to pay nearly £330 for the only steering wheel with the 360 with a clutch pedal.
The best steering wheel for XBOX ONE and forza 5.
Where can I find it in UAE ??
They don't make them anymore, sorry. Might be able to get them second hand on eBay.
Hi, I was wondering if anybody has or knows of a Wireless Wheel with an audio port? I want to go with a wireless headset (Turtle Beach XP 510 Wi-Fi Blue Tooth wireless) BUT a XBA adapter needs to plug in the audio port of the controller/ Wheel !
Looks like I'm a bit late reading this informative revue ... I'm using a wireless speed wheel 360 (model 1470) and only play driving/racing games ... I am just researching other wheels to see which are good/available ...

Idea House #1: Shoreview
In this 2,544-square-foot house, a reverse-living floor plan capitalizes on the view: The living and dining rooms and kitchen are on the second floor, with two bedrooms below and a master bedroom loft up top. The furnishings are simple and clean lined, the sensibility is modern, and the entire home is enveloped in a hazy color inspired by the sand, sea, and sky. "The house is meant to embrace and amplify the nature around it," says designer Brian Paquette.

Fridays are range days for my wife and me. The greatest thing is, I got my 250 shotgun shells yesterday, so I can go shoot my new shotguns.
Picked up the Mossberg 500 - fed five Winchester 00 buck 2 3/4 inch buck into it. Ouch. Alright, that's fine, I can always pad the end - not to mention, I only have 15 rounds of those, then I'll move to my low-velocity buckshot from PMC. Yeah, that's a dream. It kicked harder than the Winchester ammo. I WASN'T expecting that. Lower Velocity means lower powder, means less kick, right? Yeah, guess again.
PMC Low Velocity 00 Buck = a sore shoulder (haven't shot a shotgun in 20 years). Funny thing, I also fired the Stevens 320, and really enjoyed it. It actually had less kick (heavier gun). I think I'm going to buy a pistol grip/stock for the Mossberg. Really is a little easier to handle and I think holding on to the pistol grip lessens the recoil a bit.
You say you have not shot a shotgun in 20 years, maybe it s a technique issue, are you pulling it in tight to your shoulder? Maybe the stock does not fit you well, do you have a recoil pad installed?
I have a Mossberg 930 semi-auto with an 18.5" cylinder bore barrel,it handles everything I shoot with no problem,I learned a long time ago when I was shooting geese with 3" mags that my Beretta 390 would shoot all day and my shoulder never felt pain

Embrace the suck...just sayin
One of the things I like about the Mossberg is the safety is so intuitive and ergonomic being located up on the tang of the receiver. This is only good for a traditional stock. When you put a pistol grip on a Mossberg, you ruin the ergonomics of the tang mounted safety.
If I have a shotgun with a pistol grip, I'd go with a Remington or Winchester where you have the crossbolt saftey behind the trigger guard.

"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
If you were shooting from a bench, that'll only make the recoil worse. Unless you're sighting in, shoot heavy loads like buckshot standing. Your whole body will act like a spring, allowing more than just your shoulder and back to take the punishment.

I have a Remington 788 in 44Mag; back when I bought it I thought a handgun cartridge in a rifle would be no problem. Well surprise, surprise that thing kicked like grabbing a mule by the hind leg and kicking him where it really hurts, took it to the gunsmith the next day and had a recoil pad added.

For me, basic technique of blading/shouldering/stance has always made the most impact on effectively and painlessly managing recoil, even heavy/stout recoil. Get it right, then even the stoutest SD load can basically be handled well, without any bruising or pain.
Here's a decent thread from awhile back: Shoulder is Killing Me, which includes some videos on stance/technique.
Here's a discussion thread on shouldering technique, on ShotgunWorld.com: click.
I've learned much from a certain book, as well: The Orvis Wingshooting Handbook by Bruce Bowlen. It describes and shows basic technique, stance, shouldering, sighting, in quite a bit of detail. It's not a book on defensive shooting, but the basic technique pointers are much the same.
Am assuming at your local range you've got an area where trap/skeet shooters do their thing. Might be well worth tracking down one of the better shooters, there, and asking for 10mins of basic pointers. Better yet, diving right in (on that range) to learn the basics of trap/skeet can be a quick way to meet plenty of folks who know what they're doing, as well as to learn a new form of shooting. It's great fun, challenging. Worth doing, if none of the discussions/vids grab you.
Basically, here's what I do:
- Blade the body about 50-60 degrees away from the target (on the strong side, obviously).
- Find the area of the shoulder "pocket." Check this discussion on ShotgunWorld for finding the pocket: What Is The Shoulder Pocket. Here's another, on the Cabela's forum: click. The exact spot of the pocket's going to vary from person to person.
- Get into an athletic, mildly aggressive stance. With a pistol you can stand basically upright and fire away, pretty much without getting the rest of the body and muscles into the game. But with a shotgun, particularly a stout SD load, it's imperative to have the whole body in the shot, able to control and redirect/accommodate the recoil as it happens. Get it right, and you'll neither be sore nor bruised, and your control, accuracy and repeatability will dramatically improve.
- Shoulder the shotgun, into the pocket. Effective, repeatable shouldering technique takes time to nail down. Get instruction, and then practice, practice, practice. The Bowlen book (above) should help, as can various Youtube vids.
- Balance the firmness/control of your body and upper body/shoulder area specifically, with a softness (more of a willingness) to smoothly accommodate the recoil when it does come. I liken this to thinking about a decent parachute landing, in which you've got to be both firm/controlled enough to manage striking the ground while going with the flow softly/smoothly enough to redirect the "recoil" energy so that you don't get hurt/bruised.
- Start with weaker target or light bird loads first, then work your way up to stouter loads. Keep the defensive stuff for later, until you've nailed the basic techniques and 50-100rds don't pound you anymore.
By all means, leverage the trap/skeet gurus at your local shooting range. Many of them will know the basics well, and likely one or two of them would be happy to take 10mins of their time to show you proper stance and shouldering.
My apologies for the non-standard descriptions, here. But in the second or two that it takes me to get into stance/blade/shouldering on a given shot, it comes together quickly enough that these are the things I think about as it's happening. Blade, "athletic" stance, shoulder pocket, firmness/flexibility, then managing the shot and follow-up to the next shot. In a few hundred rounds, it all begins to become second-nature.

Thanks for all the advice, especially yours, ccw9. Reading through it, in general, that's what I was doing. However, I'm sure that there's a few minor things that need to be adjusted - and in something like that, a few "minor" things equal shoulder pain real fast, so I'll make sure go back over the advice a lot more carefully. Really do appreciate it.
One unfortunate thing, the range I'm a part of only allows Buckshot. It's an indoor range with a backstop and they say that the smaller target/bird stuff might penetrate through, so they only want the larger buckshot.
Now that I'm thinking about it, I think that I tensed too much and didn't give with the kick. That might have been the entire issue right there.

I wanted to know that when I do the pulley swap 2.8 to 2.6 will I have to retune the V or can I get away with the tune that Magna Charger sent with it. I am going to put a more aggressive tune in a little bit. I would do it sooner but the guy I goto wont be around for like 3 weeks. So basiclly I want to know will it be safe to do the pulley swap with the Magna Charger tune or just wait to do the pully swap untill my guy gets back to do my dyno tune?

I've been looking for a script which I've came across recently. As far as I can remember it was called "WP Dashboard" and is made to have an overview over more than a few Wordpress Installs. There comes a plugin with it which makes it possible to upgrade all wordpress core's and plugins from within one screen.
Unfortunately I don't find this anymore here. Is it possible that it has been renamed or moved off the marketplace?
Any help appreciated.
As far as i know, this item was removed as i remember someone asking a while back for the same thing you were and asking where it had gone.
Ok, I've found out now what happened and thought I share the info I've came across:
The Script is called: Wordpress Status Dashboard and was originally made by Justin Scheetz. He had no time for proper support – that's why he took it down, but luckily he will release it for free soon.

Money was not an issue in contract negotiations between Lewis Hamilton and McLaren, according to team principal Martin Whitmarsh, after the British team lost its star driver to Mercedes for next season.
Speculation had led to believe that Hamilton, who is managed by Simon Fuller's XIX Entertainment, was not content with the offer from McLaren to continue with the team but Whitmarsh suggested it wasn't just about the economics.
"We didn't agree terms with Lewis' management therefore Lewis and his management team have decided to go elsewhere," Whitmarsh was quoted saying by Reuters.
"We have made a financial offer which is better than anyone in Formula 1, other than himself, receives today, and that is something that I am comfortable with," he pointed out. "I know we made a very, very big financial offer, bigger than I believe any Formula 1 driver is enjoying today."
The Briton however respected the 27-year-old's decision to seek new challenges after he was notified personally two days before the announcement was made on Friday.
"I wouldn't advise anyone to leave McLaren if they want to win. But I've got to respect Lewis's decision and really wish him well," he said.
Hamilton will be replaced by Sauber's Mexican driver Sergio Perez who the team believed will have "a broader appeal now".

service dealer
Would you take your car to a dealer other than the one you purchased it from for warranty work?
The dealer I purchased from is a bit of a drive and there is a local dealer I thought I would try for service. I didn't purchase from the local dealer because their salesman suck, I have been in there on 3 different occasions over the years and the salesman won't even get off their A$$ to show me a vehicle. All 3 times I purchased a vehicle and never from them but maybe their service department is OK??? The local dealer has new owners and they remodeled the service dept. a couple years ago so maybe they have more focus on the service dept., the sales dept. still needs a lot of work.
Same situation here. (Sales sux @ local dealer) but i go 4after service
Give them a shot. I service cars from other dealers all the time. Sometimes we can't beat a competitors deal and they buy elsewhere. Customers love our service department and bring cars of all makes and models to us.
Sent from my iPhone 4 using FF Mobile
I have a dealer within walking distance of home and have not bought from them but use them for service all the time.
Posted via FF Mobile
I drive 25 minutes to my Hyundai dealer for the Veloster even though there is one 5 minutes away, the 5 minutes away one sucks so much balls its not even funny.
Same with my parents, they take their Fords 25 minutes outside of the city for service work.
You find a good dealer with a good service department, keep them at all costs because I had the terrible experience of having to deal with a dirtbag dealership once and it made me appreciate the Ford one even more.
no that I regularly, well almost never, take my car to a dealer for service I will not be going to the dealer I purchased the car from. This is in part to the dealer being alittle over an hour away from where I live. I purchased the car at that dealer because they where the only ones in New England that had the exact car that I wanted. Local dealer couldn't get the car transfered so I went to the source.
Now the two local dealers have a terrible sales force. However at least one is highly rated for their service department. So if I have to take my car in it would be to a local dealer.
is there a way to find a dealers service rating?
I bought my car 300 miles from home, but my local dealer (5 min drive) has a fantastic service department. You'll know you have a good service department a lot of the time by getting a service writer's business card and just chatting with them about potential issues. If they are friendly and actually take time to listen to your concerns, and have numerous ways to contact them on their card, you're likely to have a dealership that cares about getting the job done right.
Also read reviews like Angie's list and whatever you can find on Google. Negative reviews are likely to be more prevalent than positives, but the one with the least negatives/most positives is likely the one you want to go to, adjusted for dealership size, of course. Smaller dealerships that are family owned and not part of a huge chain like Dobbs will also be more likely to do better work. Big chains don't care about reputation or their insurance claims/rates as much as mom and pop shops.
Good luck.

|My memoir: Now available on Amazon
I have finally done it. I have published my memoir. Or sort of, anyway. This isn't the kind of epic tome that waxes poetic about a sullen childhood or life of crime or six marriages, three of which were to political figures who left me in puddles of tears. Although that would certainly make for interesting reading, it is not my story. My story is about plants.
As the title denotes, it is a short memoir, about the equivalent of 40 paperback pages. So as you can well imagine, it is not my entire life's story. (I am not so young as to fill only 40 pages with life.) Instead, think of it as a slice of pie, a little wedge of who I am and why I am such a bad gardener.
Come to think of it, the memoir does not answer the bad gardener question. That's because I have no idea why I am a bad gardener. But there it is in print -- or in e-ink -- admitting to the world my shortcomings and heartless (albeit unintentional) slaughter of many, many innocent plants.
Mostly, however, it's a story of how plants have been a part of my life from the beginning, and how my relationship with them went from one of perhaps confusion to one of tight friendship. Yes, I talk to my plants. There. I've said it. You can take that as a sign of lunacy, or you can accept it for what it is: a sign of lunacy.
Bottom line, plants don't talk back. They are very good listeners. And they never once criticized my out-loud readings to them. In fact, I do believe they rather enjoyed hearing my memoir recitations. I'm pretty sure I even saw my ficus smile, and that is no easy task. (He has cabin fever and is impatiently awaiting warmer weather so he can hang out on the back deck once again.)
So there you have it. The memoir is complete and is available on Amazon for the mere pittance of 99 cents. Why 99 cents, you ask? Haven't the Indie writers gotten over that whole 99 cent business? Yes, for the most part we have, but I felt like reminiscing. Besides, it's new and I'm excited about it and the ficus says that it's worth about 99 cents.
Here's where you find my new and profound work: Some of My Best Friends Are Plants.

anyone vouch for this craftsman cabinet?
I like it but it has no wide drawers so I'll get a chest with at least one wide drawer. Wondering if anyone has this and what they think about it.
Craftsman cabinet.......
Hi,it would be kinda nice if we knew,what you are talking about. what cabinet? new? used? PICTURES would be nice also...
This one. I'm gonna get the cabinet but get another chest that has at least one longer drawer.
i have that same bottom cabinet, bought it in 93. it's a matco brand but the same company makes all of sears and the tool truck boxes. it is a nice box, big enough to hold a lot of tools but not so big you can't move it.
i use to do plant maintenance and had to roll to fix machines. i never bought a top box for it because i liked having the top as a mobile work surface.
lot's of bigger tool boxes on craigslist.net. look there before you buy a bigger tool truck box. lots of laid off mechanics looking to raise some cash.
can't find any on there at the moment. I heard people thought the casters would give out or that the metal where the casters go isn't structurally sound. Did you get that feeling? Some of those drawers will have a lot of stuff in them. Ball bearings though so that's good. I think their boxes are priced very good considering strap-on and other brands charge an arm and leg.
I have the bottom box now for about 15 years or better... I like it.. Never really gave me any trouble..... I just never got the top box yet... :D
casters: if you roll it a lot. we would roll ours over a mile a day in a big plant. the company would buy commercial casters and we'd weld up an angle iron frame for the box to sit in. even those would break from a rough floor. they bought my old box because it was a wreck and i bought the one your looking at.
if your just rolling around the shop they're fine. i used mine in a smaller plant with smooth floors and have never had a problem. now it's at home.
we have a tech with one of those big 8ft long snap-on, no top box. it has six 6 inch wheels on it, takes 2 guys to roll that one. his tools are one layer with lots of ''space'', mine is jammed packed shake-the-drawer to get them closed. kids... they think the box makes the tech. he's been paying for that box for years. :spank:
Ok, here is the stupid stuff, if you are a pro in a pro shop you need a SnapOn, Mac or Matco if you want respect, there I said it, sorry.
Is it dumb, yep, but them are the facts. I bought my Mac 1100 something like 20 years ago and have never regretted it. It was $1700 and I am damn glad I bought it. When I knocked it over and bent up some runners and a drawer I had them replaced in days. I will NEVER have to think about buying another box.
They will have used ones for better prices (I always traded in mine and they gave me good money for them).
Here's one Like I have, it's the second one down. MB1100
if you want respect learn to fix cars :nono:
mine is only 19 yrs old. ask me in a yr if it's still working.
20 yrs ago that box was $400, i could have bent the drawers,
bought a new one and still not had the $1700 in it
I would have to agree... A waste of money just for respect..... :drunk: There is cheaper ways to get respect.. :D I would never spend that on a box... No need to..And as far as rolling mine around.... only to clean under it... :rolleyes: Maybe Once ever 5 years or so....
I agree with you guys, I said it was stupid. But there once was a time when a Craftsmen box wasn't even close, not even in the same planet as a SnapOn, and they are still viewed that way. I haven't put them side by side so I don't know. I do know that I don't regret spending that money on my Mac box, I have earned a good living and it has more than paid for it's self.

i was going to be setting this up as an End of the Month Meet, but held off on plannign it for now untill i see if they have a vendor account on NASIOC and other sites, as thats where it seems most of the attendee's will be coming from, as proven by every other EOMM.
i dont like how you cant have a meet to announce a new shop, even if Subaru themselves has more of a hand in said company than in the forums...
oh well, ClubWRX FTW !
no matter what weekend it is though, i should be attending.
i've been by the shop already and its definatly a nice place, should prove to be an excellent meet.
hmm i really want to try and come. What do they charge for the dyno?

talked to my buddy Jay at ICY/Phoenix...
they want the last weekend of Feb. to be the first meet.. basically instead of a End of the Month Meet at a restaurant, they will open their doors and cook us hotdogs and burgers, etc...
they dynos WILL be open according to Jay. rough estimates on prices are 5 pulls for $75. i suggested 3 or 4 pulls for slightly less..
he mentioned having raffles, possibly based on highest HP #'s..or perhaps closest to what you guess you'll put down.
more details to come.
WRX WAGONE, i may be PM'ing you for a co-hosting type of deal..as im not super active on this site.
I just got off the phone with Dave and Jay, and the meet is scheduled for March 11th. We will be having a joint meet with Nasioc and other local forums. It will be good to have a bunch of Suby guys out for this.
Stay tuned as the specifics of this meet continue to evolve.
We are talking of having dyno pulls with a limited number that day. No tuning will be done, just dyno pulls.

thats awesome, I wanna dyno my stage 2. I hope i can attend, i'll have to see what the girlfriend and i are doing.

March 11th, count me in! I don't go back to work untill April so it doesn't matter to me. This will be very cool. This way after a tour I can decide if I want to go there to have my stage2 XPT map tuned even further. Great job setting this up, all that were involved.
P.S. I would really love it if I could sneak in for a pull or two. My guess is about 225whp/tq to the wheels, maybe more since I have a few extra goodies than other stage 2's.
P.S.S I just "mapquested" the shop is only 37 miles from home(fastest route), or 30 miles "shortes distance". WOOT WOOT!!!

The Habit
The Habit
A History of the Clothing of Catholic Nuns
Image, Paperback, 9780385505895, 256pp.
Publication Date: April 19, 2005
From the clothing seen in an eleventh-century monastery to the garb worn by nuns on picket lines during the 1960s, habits have always been designed to convey a specific image or ideal. The habits of the Benedictines and the Dominicans, for example, were specifically created to distinguish women who consecrated their lives to God; other habits reflected the sisters' desire to blend in among the people they served. The brown Carmelite habit was rarely seen outside the monastery wall, while the Flying Nun turned the white winged cornette of the Daughters of Charity into a universally recognized icon. And when many religious abandoned habits in the 1960s and '70s, it stirred a debate that continues today.
Drawing on archival research and personal interviews with nuns all over the United States, Elizabeth Kuhns examines some of the gender and identity issues behind the controversy and brings to light the paradoxes the habit represents. For some, it epitomizes oppression and obsolescence; for others, it embodies the ultimate beauty and dignity of the vocation.
Complete with extraordinary photographs, including images of the nineteenth century nuns' silk bonnets to the simple gray dresses of the Sisters of Social Service, this evocative narrative explores the timeless symbolism of the habit and traces its evolution as a visual reflection of the changes in society.
"…Kuhns does a workman-like job of taking readers back to the habit's early origins, through its myriad medieval variations and up to its conflicted present."
--Publisher's Weekly
"The author evenhandedly offers historical context and careful explanations . . . This readable overview is recommended for public and academic libraries."
--Library Journal
"A revelatory work that 'opens the nun's closet doors for the first time,' then scans the contents for all their historical and symbolic associations."
--Kirkus Reviews
"…the door to the sister's closet has swung open..."
--Buffalo News
"…Elizabeth Kuhns' book about the history and culture of the habit is a sheer delight, wonderfully informative…."
--The Catholic Review
"An original, informative and engaging work…."
--The Catholic Advocate
"Fascinating details fill the book…."
--Our Sunday Visitor
"A welcome and important contribution to the literature on a sensitive subject that often inspires more heat than light."
--Margaret Susan Thompson, Professor of History, Syracuse University
"Elizabeth Kuhns' readable account chronicles the development of the habit, while pointing to the important witness of the veil in the future.... Bravo."
--Raymond Arroyo, News Director, EWTNews

Sounds like a great day. We've had so much rain and wind the last few days shooting outdoors would be risky business at best. I believe that Marlin is going your way for sure.
How old is the Redfield scope? I have a 2-7Widefield I've had since 76 and never had a problem. It's been on .30-06's,308W and now a .22 Magnum. Seems like the newer Redfields aren't too highly thought of.

Ok, I didnt tell u not to build it because Ive built some,wild,strange and goofy motors in my life,experimented with a lot of stuff,some with other peoples money,most with my own,some of it worked,some of it didnt,but in the end Im gonna be able to say it went beyond a dream.
But you asked about reverse flow cooling a regular s.b.
Here is how it was done at Smokey's.
1 Build 2 block off plates for where water pump bolts to block.
2 Just before the flanges of where the water pump meets block,machine out
two inch and1/4 threaded pipe holes make fittings n screw them down on
the holes(use aluminum water pump and pipe)
3 hog out portion of head between 1and 3,5and 7. 2 and 4 ,6 and 8
4 Build a plate deal to cover these holes, you have to manufacture diffuser
inside of plate/head to aim water at the x haust valves
5 run 2 hoses one of each side of pump to the plates you built for heads, and of course water manifold them to equally feed water to your 2 inlets on each head
6 now you have to get the water out, best place is freeze plugs on side of block, and here is where it got tricky ,not enough meat there to do much tapping, you have to build aerea up, wound up using aluminum block.
7 now you have your water outlets
8 run water manifolds out of there to front of block
9 build a Y arrangment and build a t'stat housing on top of Y, out of there go to top of rad.
10 Use existing suction pipe as cast on pump
There you have it,I hope you got lots o money!
It's gonna get expensive!!
Engine was motored in Smokatron for flow numbers, lots of hoses and pipes blew off before it was gotten all right!
Then engine was run and everything checked again with engine in "live" condition and of course .It worked, its being used today only in a different configuration.
This was really hi buck ,7am to 2am stuff .
I really woulnt try this.Its crazy!
But you asked a question and I could answer it...So i did...
In the end ,I really think youve studied a lot of stuff and maybe are just a born Gearhead.
But speaking from personal experience, you do have to admit to yourself ,you are just a weeee bit Coo-Coo!!!!
This motor you are building does not fit the application,7 ton motor home.
Haha man that post made my day, your a pretty smart fellar ain't ya? Sounds like hardware store stuff to me tho, I cant imagine it costing too much, why I always thought with a drill press, a grinder and a welder, I could do anything right? Your right tho I'm completely gonzo. Heck I was tempted to try the iron duke in that motor home for a brief trial basis... I think they bolt up to the v8 bellhousing right?
i thought of something else to say and Im gonna say it.
I think the long/short rod debate will go on forever,I know Smokey used them when Herb Thomas drove the Hudson Hornet, that was really a long time ago,way,way before the 68 camaro.And people said then "Its old stuff,wont work any more" Otto cycle engine has been around a long time,still works the same basic way.
Lots of ways to build engines,lots of ways to get H.P./torque,lots of different opinions.
I learn every day,I live and breathe motors and made a very good living at it and still are,thats why I love this site,I really think we r all in love with machines and are all highly competitive,that's why the debate gets really heated and at times almost resembles a war.
Man you are one crazy cat!!!
Its way beyond harware stuff.
Heck I could run a 283 on diesel if I tried I bet, for that matter turpentine...
Paul Pantone just got out of the looney bin a few monthes ago, been in there for several years, thinking outside the box too much I think. There's lots of stuff on youtube by people running all sorts of motors on all sorts of weird mixtures using this thing.. Claims nearly zero emmisions too..
I better not be too crazy tho, or get too many mpgs, or they might lock me away as well..

You continue to over simplify things. There's a lot more to it than displacement. smaller bores allow for better air, fuel and ignition control, but the 283 will have a higher percentage of parasitic losses. There's a lot of things that can come together to make the most of each one, HOWEVER if you consider using them in a rig such as yours then the load dictates a larger engine, as already noted by the fact all larger trucks come with larger sized engines.
I don't know what you're expecting from an sbc in this build but a carbed sbc is only going to give you about 12 MPG in this rig. If you really are after mileage its time to swap in a turbo diesel.
I agree with the turbo diesel 100% Turbolover, thats what Im working towards. you said: "smaller bores allow for better air, fuel and ignition control, but the 283 will have a higher percentage of parasitic losses." Parasitic losses from what out of curiousity? Theres alot of factors involved, sure, but in stock form in your thoughts, which is a 400? more of a really efficient engine with low peak power or a really powerful but inefficient engine? What about the 283? In my mind they are kinda opposite right? How many ft/lbs of torque and how many horse power does a stock 400 make out of curiosity? Wiki says 265 horses, but doesnt mention torque or what rpm, it has to be pretty high I would think tho.
Just so we can fairly compare apples to apples here: This is the best one I could think of here-
I would think it would be like comparing a 267 to a chevy 265. A 265 has bigger bore shorter stroke, 3.75 bore and 3 inch stroke right? A 267 has small bore long stroke 3.5 inch bore and 3.48 stroke. Gm stopped making them both but for the sake of comparison.. Now there were no emmissions control in 1955-56 so we do not really know if the 265 would have passed or not in 1982.. but the 267 was phased out after the 1982 model year due to inability to conform to emission standards. Whats that mean? Unburned fuel coming out the tail pipe? Any ways, which one would make more low end power? My guess is the 265 torque peak would begin alot earlier in the rpm range, but the 265 would produce more total torque but do it later in the powerband. Now with the right cam and heads and no smog pumps and no catalytic converters who knows maybe the 267 could be a real thumper compared to a 265 but I kinda doubt it. Which one would be the best in my van going down the road at 4100 rpms? I dunno for sure because I didnt try yet but my money is on the 265 tho. If I can build the Chev 302 and get 336 hp@5500 rpm, 360 ft-lbs @4500 rpm I think that would be plenty. (Taken from http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/267-small-block-chevy-2817.html)
I love that article that cobalt posted on the 350 that gm shoulda made, it puts off 400 ft/lb of torque at 2400 rpm and probably lower, the scale doesnt start until 2400. That would be plenty for an rv! With that kind of torque it is not just a race car motor at all. Could be a great truck motor. I wish I had a 400 block and a buncha 100$ dollar bills, I might try that build up.
My point is, how much torque in ft/lbs do you guys think I need to drive a 7 ton motor home down the road? 300ft/lb enough? Wiki says 307 makes that. I could build a 307 or 327. Or do I need 400? How many ft/lb does my bone stock 454 make(so I have a reference)? Can't be much more than 400 can it? Keep in mind I have 5.13 gears and my 454 seems way ridiculously overpowered for a motorhome. Even with all my tools in my van, I can out accelerate my moms 1999 iron duke s10 when its empty up till about 40 mph, and the s10 runs just fine. I am not kidding at all. That first gear is low, the thing jumps when I hit the gas for such a big heavy thing..
you have made gross assumptions regarding the 265 and 267. I keep trying to tell you you are WAY over simplifying things and you're getting worse. Nothing is as simple as you think it is.
And forget about torque. Torque is relatively meaningless, its just used to sell magazines and diesel trucks. You need to calculate the amount of power you need, not torque. You can run that Van on a 4 banger strung out to 12,000 RPM and if its making the same power at 60mph as a 400 then they'll work just as well. If you're not willing to change your gears then you need to look at increasing your displacement to get your power up at a given RPM level.
on the 283 your parasitic losses will be about the same amount for a given RPM as your 400, the oiling, cooling, and accessories are all the same- your differing frictional losses on the piston rings for each engine are so close that its insignificant, and you're assuming it makes the most difference.
You're assuming the world is flat just because you can't see beyond the horizon.
It says you are from Missouri, then you won't mind me asking you to SHOW ME what you mean when you say Im over simplifying things? Sorry couldn't help it..
I was just trying to compare two motors with the same displacement to compare the potential of each, rather than comparing a 283 to a 400. I appreciate you taking the time to talk with me turbolover, I wish I had some friends like you in real life. I had a good friend that was a certified gm cadillac mechanic and worked at the dealership in Missoula MT, when I lived out there and we would talk about this stuff for hours. You sound just like him, he would tell me the same things you do. I'm sorry if I act like a hard head when I don't fully understand, or that I argue, I am actually learning, it must be a part of my learning process. He really loved the northstar engines and he loved long duration cams. I don't understand the thinking on that, I like simple motors, and cam timing where the lobes don't overlap much... Dual overhead cam and four valves per cylinder on a v8 sounds like a nightmare to me but he is a really smart guy. Go figure.
267 would let you run a crazy cam with all that engine vacuum it could produce with the shorter rods, a 265 would require a much different stratedgy to get the power out of it. I dont need more power tho at any rpm range now, I just think my motor wouldn't last that long if I keep taking road trips at 4100 rpms with the 454. I could get a cam for it that would make the torque peak come in at 3800 rpms and get some good headers. That is the sane thing to do. Am I right? I run more ignition advance around town, and retard the timing when I am cruising at 70, it makes the motor feel more relaxed. I can do it on the fly in this van theres a little door I can open while driving and turn the distributor by hand until it feels just right, I get a solid 9mpg and have tons of power except on the biggest mountains. I wish I had egt gauges and wide band o2 sensor gauge and a cable hooked up to turn the distributor while Im driving like model T trucks had long ago.
You said forget about torque? what about all the suggestions to build a 383 because of the torque? Torque is the twisting force of an engine, and multiplied somehow by the rpm is horsepower correct? Most of the time I need much less power than I use in this 454 tho. Around town, pulling lawn trailer, etc.. And I dont think it takes much power to keep it moving on flat land with no head wind, what 50 horsepower? But it seems turning that giant air pump 454 over at 4100 rpms even with high vacuuum readings is still burning more fuel than a smaller motor would. Am I wrong on that? Why did cadillac come out with that motor that turns off cylinders to get better gas mileage?
If you want mileage instead of blowing your money on a rod theory that leads to nowhere spend it on rebuilding the 454 you have and a gear swap. 4000 RPM is high to be cruising and a gear swap could knock that down to 3000 or so. If you do a good rebuild on the 454 you could end up with more power at 3000 RPM then you have now at 4000 RPM.
People who talk about torque don't realize what actually moves the car- power. All of this talk about the 302 keeps making me and many others assume you already have a sbc in there when really you have a BBC.
There are people clicking off 20+MPG with Cadillac 500's- s displacement isn't the problem. The problem is your load- its a LOT.
Really, loaded down to maintain 70 MPH you're probably looking at around 150hp, not 50. 50hp will keep a VW bug with a manual moving at about 80 MPH, you're a lot bigger and heavier.
Forget about chasing after small displacement sbc's. rebuild the 454 you have or go to a 496, or to a turbo diesel. and then do a gear swap or better yet swap to an OD trans.
All of these things have already been suggested and they are the best course of action, not some silly rod theory.
Rods do make a difference, but it is FAR less than what you seem to think it is, and longer is NOT always better. In reality, a shorter rod in the right situation could increase mileage, but it would still be slight (not even a half of a mpg).
Turbolover you said: "If you want mileage instead of blowing your money on a rod theory that leads to nowhere spend it on rebuilding the 454 you have and a gear swap. 4000 RPM is high to be cruising and a gear swap could knock that down to 3000 or so. If you do a good rebuild on the 454 you could end up with more power at 3000 RPM then you have now at 4000 RPM."
4000 rpm is not high for a 302, hence the aguement but anyways..
My 454 is almost new, it is a gm factory replacement motor, I found the tag on the driverside of the block. It is already .060 over too. It doesnt smoke tho and has equal compression on all the cylinders, the spark plugs look great, the oil pressure is high. Btw, my motor DOES make more power at 3000 rpm than at 4000 rpm. My van is happiest at 42 mph, I could pull a house up a mountain with a trailer with three flat tires. You didn't anwer my "Wouldn't a cam that made my torque peak at 3800 instead of 1800 rpms be better" cam question. Or the cadilac "Why do they turn off cylinders question to get better gas mileage" question. The cadillac idea was dumb for gm granted, maybe it worked maybe not but they sure seemed to think it was worth spending millions on.
Also you said:
"People who talk about torque don't realize what actually moves the car- power."
You mean like horsepower? No offense Turbolover, but I think you have that backwards.
The 454 is not the problem. The rear end is the problem, or not having overdrive is.
I think it would cost 600$ to change the rear end, thats about the same as I could get a overdrive tranny, only the tranny route I could sell my th400 to recoup a little money. Its 6 in one hand, half a dozen in the other.
I want to build a high winding motor because I think they are cool, if you can't tell I am a high winding kinda person... Er.. I am kinda wound up that is...
I will just keep it until I get something to put it in. Cool hobby huh? I can just drive my van (and not spend any money on it) until I trade it for something better. I think I may stick the 350 sbc from my suburban in there before I do tho, since so many people like 454 motors on craiglist I could get 700 bucks or more...
Oh yeah, I never met one single person to get 20+ mpg in a big old 70's or 80's cadillac with any motor especially a 500 cube motor..
Maybe I can put this in terms you might have a better grasp on...Would you expect a 100cc engine turning 8000 rpm to get better mileage than your 750cc turning 3000rpm, in the same bike you have, with you. your girl, and your dog loaded on?? And still have the same get up and go that the 750 has, or the same ability to handle hills??
No that particular anaolgy makes sense in a way, except that a 750cc is seven and a half times bigger than a 100cc. My 454 is less than twice as big as a 302. But I would expect a honda cx 500 to get much better gas mileage than a kawasaki 900. A cx 500 cruises at 8000 and redline at 12k rpm btw, on my cross country tour on one I got about 55 mpg loaded to the hilt with a shopping cart basket welded to the frame behind my seat with cast iron skillets and camp stoves and tents and clothes... etc.... At 80 mph the tach is at 8200 rpm, no overdrive. It was a 10,000 mile trip and took three months. I never had a single issue with it, what I great motorcycle a cx500 is!! Honda tested them at the factory during there design by running them at 10,000 rpm for month straight hooked to a dynometer. It is another long rod motor tho.. You guys probably don't wanna hear that I know.. My gt750 suzuki gets 20 mpg btw, its a two stroke, they are happiest running rich. Not a really the best designed motor on the gt750, but a cool motor just the same... Harley guys respect em too.
Its getting to be funny, and guys keep answering you, you play a good game!
Nahh, I was gonna make a comment on how power is measured on a dyno,but dont think I will...
Anyway if we all forgot about torque, all we would have left is horsepower
And just what is the description of horsepower?
C'mon say it,I bet u dont know it.
I guess we can forget about b.m.e.p. too if we are going to forget about torque!!!!

After the brutal crackdown in June, 2009 of those who protested the illegal election to the presidency of Ahmadinejad, thousands of activists fled to other countries to escape prison or being brutalized. Many have found refuge in Turkey, but even there the long arm of Iranian security forces continues to be a problem. Activists, even though they thought being in Ankara would offer protection, have discovered that Iranian security force agents are posing threats to their lives. One man told the media of being awakened at night to discover three men trying to break into his apartment. The next day he received a message on the Internet how the previous night was a warning.
There is no way to protect human rights fighters unless governments of other nations make clear to Iran they will not tolerate having people brutalized in their nation. The ball is in the court of the Turkish government to prove it governs its own nation.

Regulation & Policy
The longer-term trend is one of slowing growth.
The two "high-standard" gantry cranes will be at the RC6 and RC7 berths on Rokko Island.
It has been a year since the International Maritime Organization rolled out new rules for container weight verification across the globe.
The decision comes just days before the new joint venture Ocean Network Express was expected to be formed.
Inefficient operations at Tanjung Priok and regular traffic around the port adds significant costs to supply chains.
The East Hope Group is a formidable aluminium producer, with some 150 subsidiaries and 24,000 employees.
Canadian shippers and the head of Canada's largest port have argued monetizing the country's 18 port authorities could increase port user fees, limit public oversight, and threaten investment in waterside infrastructure.
Port sector consolidation in China is expected to accelerate this year.
India's container trade is expected to grow at a faster pace in the coming months.
At a time when the Southern California Ports' hold on discretionary cargo is tenuous, the state's all-out commitment to mitigating climate change is taking priority over port competitiveness.

A one-joke movie which moves puerile party humour from the Animal House to the yuppie world of work. Pals Larry (McCarthy) and Dick (Silverman) - one a smooth-talking sloppy-Joe, the other a tongue-tied whizz-kid-in-waiting - share desks and frustration on the trading floor at Trans Allied Insurance. When Dick finds a million-dollar discrepancy in payouts, they force their way into an audience with jet-setter boss Bernie (Kiser), who invites them, with Bela Lugosi smile, for a weekend at his Hamptons beach-house. Death is in the offing, but it's Bernie who gets stiffed (by his Mafia associates), not the boys. Question is, how long can they party, party, party with the bathing-suited bimbos and cool cat coke-sniffers before anybody notices that Bernie's a corpse? Kotcheff aims straight for the juvenile and spends most of his effort, successfully, on getting the timing right for the endless gags with Bernie's cadaver propped up on the sofa, falling downstairs, etc. But it's strictly kids'stuff and quickly palls.

Sorry if the picture are not so great due to the fact they were taking at night with an Iphone 5.
I think it looks interesting. I can always remove it if i get bored of it!
OPINIONS!!! Any type of comments are welcome. To each his own!

Areas of Expertise:
Professor Davenport's research in the laboratory focuses on studies of molecular interactions and fast conformational dynamics of large biomolecules. The lab uses state-of-the-art fluorescence spectroscopic methods. Funded through the Brooklyn College NIH-Score grant, they are currently using sensitive fluorescence methodologies to investigate the folding and stability of quadruplexed DNA found at the telomeric ends of chromosomes as an approach to designing better potential chemotherapeutics.
