Scrapes, mallets hit right note for composer Lachenmann
By Michael Roddy
LONDON (Reuters) - The music of pioneering modernist German composer Helmut Lachenmann will be showcased in London this weekend, allowing listeners to hear violin bows scraping sideways on strings, percussionists using scrub brushes and pianists hitting strings with mallets.
Lachenmann, 74, who will attend the weekend at London's Southbank Center , said he felt compelled to create new musical sounds from established instruments, in what he calls "musique concrete instrumentale," to help music from the corruption of classical culture by the Nazis during World War Two.
The son of a Protestant priest, Lachenmann found his niche after drifting into the world centered on the avant garde music camp at Darmstadt, Germany, set up in 1946 to rediscover modern music after the war and dictatorship.
He was inspired by modern music composers like Karlheinz Stockhausen, Luigi Nono, and Pierre Boulez, who deconstructed music from past concerns with melody, harmony and rhythm to focus instead on loudness, pitch, duration and 12-tone composing.
The audience reaction was violent, sometimes leading to walkouts from concert halls, and also to a return, by some composers, to music that restored melody and familiar rhythms.
But Lachenmann thinks listeners, if they open their ears, would hear plenty of beauty in his compositions.
He spoke to Reuters during rehearsals this week:
Q: Why do you go to such extremes with the orchestra, getting a cellist to make sounds from the bow only or a pianist flick his fingers over the tops of the keys rather than strike them? Continued...

Free Crochet Pattern Friday
While my poor granny square blanket has come to a sort of standstill for the time being, that doesn't mean that I can't drool over other motif ideas. Just imagine how sweet a little throw of these square would be - white daisies in the center and an array of greens as the border.
Another flower-themed pattern. Quelle surprise! These little guys are so sweet, and I've been really meaning to buy a retractable measuring tape...
I've tried to make a pair of slippers like these before when I had just started crocheting. They didn't turn out the greatest, but I wasn't as sure about counting stitches, using stitch markers, and general construction. I'd love to try it again with this sweet pattern! The best part is her outfit at the end - so cute.
Is chevron still in? Yes? This little clutch is adorable - and doesn't seem too difficult? Be sure to look at the Ravelry page for the project to get inspiration for different color combinations and embellishments. That's where I found the above picture with the polka dot lining. Cute!
I still have never made socks. Admittedly, I think knitted socks are about a hundred times cuter than a crochet version, but this pattern caught my eye. They don't look clunky! The socks look fitted and sleek and cute! I do love that cuff, too. Maybe this is the weekend where I use up some of my sock weight yarn and try this out for once and for all. Now, if I could only find a cute crochet yoga sock pattern.

(255.88 kB) A.Sal Alfano responds: Follow this procedure to lay out shingle siding so the courses break on the same line as the window trim: First, measure the window height and add the width of any trim you might have, then divide by the shingle reveal. Most of the time, you won't have an even number of courses, and you'll have to adjust the shingle reveal slightly. To do that, ignore the fraction and choose the closest whole number; this will be the number of even courses that will fit between the window trim. Then pull your tape measure out to an even multiple of that number of courses, run it at a diagonal next to your window (see Figure 1), and tick off each multiple. These marks will be your course lines.Let's take an example: Say your window height, including the head trim and apron, is 49 inches and your average shingle reveal is 8 inches. Since 49 ÷ 8 = 6 1/8, you will have six courses (ignoring the fraction). To find the exact width of each reveal, pull the tape out to some large multiple of six, say 60 inches, and run it at a diagonal from... Login or Register to continue reading

BOSTON (AP) Ś Long before Ernest Hemingway first wrote a story, his mother was busy writing about him.
Grace Hall Hemingway started a series of scrapbooks documenting the childhood of the future Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winner by describing how the sun shone and robins sang on the day in July 1899 when he was born.
Starting Sunday, the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston will make the content of five Hemingway scrapbooks available online for the first time, giving fans and scholars the chance to follow the life of one of the 20th centuryĺs literary greats from diapers to high school degree.
Hemingway Collection curator Susan Wrynn said much of the content hasnĺt been made available to the public before and only a few researchers have seen it in its entirety. The fragile leather-bound volumes have been kept in a dark vault for about four decades to keep them from falling apart.
The release of these records from the archive, home to 90 percent of existing Hemingway manuscript materials, will come on what would have been the scribeĺs 114th birthday.
ôI think it will be a very rich resource for people interested in learning about this period of his life,ö Sean Hemingway, the authorĺs grandson, said in an interview with The Associated Press. ôHe had tremendous talent. It must have been there from the beginning. So Iĺm sure there are clues in there to that.ö
Pennsylvania State University professor Sandra Spanier, who is general editor of a project that will publish Hemingwayĺs letters in more than a dozen volumes, said the scrapbooks that the authorĺs mother created offer details of his daily life up until age 18 that arenĺt anywhere else.
ôShe almost made their lives into a story ... and I think that carries over into his life and his fiction,ö she said.
Thereĺs a scribbling from when Hemingway wasnĺt quite 3 years old that the future war correspondent and novelist Ś who later won a Pulitzer Prize for ôThe Old Man and the Seaö Ś told his mother depicted the roaring sea. Other early passages also hinted at the writer Hemingway would become.
Before he was 4, Hemingway was trooping into the woods to go hunting with his father and ôusing long wordsö and making ôsage remarks,ö according to his mother, who enclosed photos of her son trout fishing and holding his own rifle.
ôCan cock my own gun,ö one of her captions read.
By the time Hemingway was 5, his mother noted that he was collecting war cartoons and had an appreciation for characters with courage.
ôHe loves stories about Great Americans,ö she wrote.
The scrapbooks have a plethora of family photos from the Hemingway familyĺs home in Oak Park, Ill., and their vacation cottage on a lake in Northern Michigan, including shots of a bare-bottomed baby Hemingway playing in the water by a canoe.
They include letters to Hemingway and others he wrote as a child, including a note of contrition in which he confessed to bad behavior in church.
ôMy conduct tomorrow will be good,ö 13-year-old Hemingway promised.
The scrapbooks also contain childhood paintings and tell of Hemingway playing the cello, suiting up for a ôlightweightö football squad and taking up boxing. During his junior year of high school, he was on his schoolĺs prom committee and, according to a report card note from his Latin teacher, showed ôimprovement both in attitude and work.ö
As Hemingway matured, the scrapbooks showcased his earliest attempts at the craft that would come to define his professional life. Among them were a short story from his high schoolĺs literary magazine, clippings from some of his first assignments as a high school newspaper reporter and a sonnet in which 16-year-old Hemingway seemed to poke fun at himself.
ôNobody likes Ernest, that, is straight stuff,ö he said, ôand when he writes stories Ś we all cry ĹEnough.ĺö
The scrapbooks are part of the collection that Hemingwayĺs widow, Mary, gifted to the JFK Library and Museum after the authorĺs 1961 suicide. Sean Hemingway said heĺs excited by their public release and called them one of the ways heĺs become familiar with a grandfather he never met.
ôHe died before I was born,ö the 46-year-old said. ôLooking at these kinds of things ... I feel like I have gotten a chance to know him a bit.ö

Tristan Okpalaugo Nominated for Burlsworth Trophy
Nov. 14, 2012
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - The Burlsworth Trophy and the presenting sponsor, the Springdale (Ark.) Rotary Club, announced Tuesday that Fresno State outside linebacker Tristan Okpalaugo is one of 50 players nominated for the Burlsworth Trophy.
The Trophy is given to the most outstanding football player in America who began his career as a walk-on. A walk-on is defined as a player who began his first season of participation with a Division I (FBS) football program without financial aid of any kind from his university's athletic department.
Okpalaugo enrolled as a Fresno State student in 2008 after graduating from Livermore's (Calif.) Granada High School, where he was the school's first three-sport lettermen (football, basketball and track and field).
Once arriving on the Fresno State campus, Okpalaugo decided he wanted to engage himself back in sports. In the fall of 2008, he tried out for the Bulldog track and field team, but was cut right after tryouts.
Next up, Okpalaugo tried walking on to the men's basketball team. Again he was cut.
Undeterred, Okpalaugo tried out for the Bulldog football team in the spring of 2009 and found his calling.
Okpalaugo saw limited action with the Bulldogs in his first two seasons, but took off his junior year, a season in which he earned a scholarship.
As a junior in 2011, Okpalaugo played in 12 games and made 10 starts at defensive end. He tied for second on the team last year with 8.5 tackles for a loss and four sacks.
This year after moving to outside linebacker in Fresno State's new 3-4 defense, the 6-6, 250-pound Okpalaugo is fourth on the team with 46 tackles, third with 9.5 tackles for a loss and tied for second with three sacks.
He also has one interception, which he returned 21 yards for a touchdown at Tulsa on Sept. 22, five quarterback hurries, three pass breakups and one fumble recovery.
"We are extremely proud of this group of nominees for the 2012 Burlsworth Trophy," said Marty Burlsworth, CEO and founder of the Burlsworth Foundation and brother of Brandon. "All of these young men have worked very hard to get to where they are. The stories behind these players are incredible and they are all winners in my book."
Without one D1 scholarship offer, Brandon Burlsworth walked on to the Razorback team in 1994, worked his way to being a three-year starter and was eventually named an All-American in 1998. Burlsworth was selected as the 63rd overall pick by the Indianapolis Colts in the 1999 NFL draft, but was tragically killed in a car accident 11 days later. The Burlsworth Foundation was created in his memory and supports the physical and spiritual needs of children, in particular those children that have limited opportunities.
Springdale Rotary Club will host a banquet on Dec. 3 in Springdale, Ark. to honor the finalists and to announce the 2012 winner.

December 20, 2013 - Los Angeles – It is with great sadness that International Medical Corps confirms the death of a member of its staff, killed during the escalating violence in South Sudan. The staff member, a clinical health officer, was killed when a UN base in the town of Akobo, where he was seeking refuge, was overrun. The UN estimates that at least 20 civilians were killed in the attack, and two UN peacekeepers were also among those killed.Several days of ethnic violence and political infighting have left more than 400 dead in South Sudan, according to the UN. The worst of the violence has occurred in the capital Juba and in Jonglei state.
Despite the increasing violence, International Medical Corps is continuing to deliver lifesaving services to the people of South Sudan, including maternal health, HIV/AIDS, nutrition, food security, and water and sanitation. International Medical Corps has decades of experience implementing medical programs in conflict-affected environments, and as such has developed a contextually specific set of protocols to ensure the safety of International Medical Corps staff. However, the scale of the crises underway in South Sudan at present means that all non-essential staff are now being evacuated. Core management staff remains in South Sudan to monitor the ongoing situation, maintain services to the extent possible and respond to developing needs as security allows. International Medical Corps has been delivering humanitarian assistance in the region since 1994 and supporting communities across South Sudan since independence in 2011.President Barack Obama has warned that South Sudan "stands at the precipice" as the latest round of violence "threatens to plunge South Sudan back into the dark days of its past." International Medical Corps shares the concerns of many in the humanitarian community that the ongoing and escalating conflict will have a devastating impact on civilians in South Sudan and hopes for a swift cessation of violence so that it can continue to provide relief to those who need it most. Since its inception nearly 30 years ago, International Medical Corps' mission has been consistent: relieve the suffering of those impacted by war, natural disaster and disease, by delivering vital health care services that focus on training. This approach of helping people help themselves is critical to returning devastated populations to self-reliance. For more information visit: www.InternationalMedicalCorps.org.

The question was posed to get a reasoned response from the community here. I've read/heard a lot of questions and discussions on it and I apparently made the mistake of thinking that I could ask that question here and not have everyone's hackles raise over it...I've read blogs in various communities online and have read a wide variety of responses.
Guess that I won't make that mistake again.

A new report says there are concerning levels of arsenic in many rice products.
The investigation by Consumer Reports looked at a variety of items, including rice drinks and infant cereal.
The review found higher levels of arsenic in brown rice than white rice because of the way it's processed. It also found that rice produced in southern states had more arsenic than rice from California or Asia.
So far, the FDA says the levels are not high enough to tell people to change their diets.

Why can't you look at the good I'm doing?-Joyce Meyer
Whoa, she was once making $900,000 a year. That figure is now at $250,000 but……… lots of money in prosperity gospel looks like.
Is she a prosperity preacher?
"That whole thing is just so totally ridiculous," Meyer said. "First of all, what is a prosperity preacher? It's just this term that people have come up with. Do I believe that God wants to bless us? Yes. The word prosper is in the Bible. … I just love God, and I'm just trying to help people with the word of God."
People would get back money by giving it, Meyer added, "because the Bible says give and it should be given unto you. You see, giving is a major part of the whole Christian doctrine.
"Most people doing what I'm doing, working at it as long as I have, would be way beyond that, so I am not robbing the ministry," Meyer said. "When I ask people to give, I can't be on television if they don't, I can't help people, if I don't — I mean, it takes money." Source

2k Eurethane primer over bare metal
It is essential to shoot Epoxy primer over bare metal? Can Eurethane be shot over bare metal? I seem to be getting mixed answers and wanted to know what you guys think? At first I was planning on just shooting some good quality Eurethane over some well prepped metal but mow Im considering Epoxy or etching
Don't go the etching route, use a quality true epoxy that is the way to go then top it with your 2K. Most of us on this site prefer SPI epoxy.
Despite what you will hear about todays thinking... unless you are leaving it in primer for a length of time, the 2K primers work very well. ...at least for me.
I came up using lacquer, enamel, and synthetic enamel primers. The urethanes were a godsend! I sand thoroughly with rough grits... wire bush the pits and such... metal prep, and prime 30 minutes later. Alway use three coats minimum. More if you need to block out problems. If you expose bare metal, just wipe with prep 30 minutes before painting again. I think a big part of the confusion is that painters think that if they don't see rust, it must be okay. You need to understand that it starts on a microscopic level. Treat it before paint, and you have no worries.
I use R-M 801 metal prep, which has an alcohol in it, so you just spray it with a squeeze bottle... let it stand for a minute or two, and wipe with paper towels. It will be safe for about an hour... but you can paint within 30 minutes
I have done hundreds of jobs... wetsanding the primer on each one... and even leaving them out side in the rain on occasion. NO RUSTING EVER... EVER! My jobs typically will last 20-30 years or more, with no bubbling from any rust problems.
I am not saying that epoxy doesn't have it's place, but today's younger guys are heavily influenced by what they hear, and start to make it a part of their system, spending more money and time on each job. When they have no troubles they somehow think they would have otherwise. In all fairness, I now live in Arizona, not a wet climate.... thoug I painted in the midwest for 10 years using the lacquer primers. Same story though. I used metal prep.
Just remember they have been painting cars for well over 100 years without epoxy primer. Are they all bubbling up with rust? Just my opinion.
Damn! I just got my SPI Eurethane and Clear delivered yesterday and was planning on shooting the primer this weekend..
Any alternative to SPI
epoxy prime, and never have to worry about it. 1/2 gallon of the spi epoxy is 60 bucks.......spray a coat and wait per tech sheet instructions, then proceed with your 2k urethane primer.
btw, this topic has been beaten to death and prolly one of the most dumped topics here.....do a search and youll come up with a lot of info and a lot of arguing and bickering......its up to you which route you choose. i use epoxy on bare metal after freshly blasting.
Hahaha.. thanks for the input guys. I guess its better to be safe than sorry I think Im gonna but me a couple of quarts and shoot in on the bare metal. I also heard not to clean fiberglass filler with Wax an Grease remover? If so the how do I clean before shooting the epoxy . The car willbe stripped to mental with a few filler spots.. so I cant imagine trying to clean the bare metal without getting someof the filler
Maybe Dog years??
I would think it would also depend on the quality of the said 2K primer
yes you can clean fiberglass with wax and grease remover, you just need to extend your dry time after use to make sure all solvents are out of the glass and/or filler.
There are some "said" 2k primers out there that are designed for a direct to metal application over larger areas of metal (or entire car). they are a hrybrid of urethane primer and epoxy primer, BUT it just isn't a true epoxy primer, which imo is the only primer (epoxy) you should be putting over your metal in a restoration job. just my opinion....
BTW, If something fails one time, I change my system. "Rep" is what keeps people in business.
...but I probably don't know what I'm talking about.
Wow, great information but you should not be posting this!!!
Just think if you sold this info to one of the OEMS where they could advertise a 30 year lasting paint job, the edge they would have! This could be worth millions to you.
Not sure if you know this but Dupont and BASF have full time R&D departments just for OEMS, you could sell this info to one of them and again we are talking millions of dollars they would be thrilled to pay you just to have this kind of edge.
I remember a few years ago, someone posted they had a tractor painted 25 years ago with a $15 a gallon of syn-enamel and it still looked like the day it was painted, do you have any idea what an OEM would pay you for that kind of money saving info?
I bet that guy has his own island now.
Its great what a person can learn on here, thanks!
use Epoxy any brand you like and you will be good to go.
i as well as other Use SPI,but if you need to run out and grab some, get whatever brand is closest and easier for you if in a hurry.
once again some bad advice being thrown around for Newbies to read!!!!!!!!!!!
Basicly,If I strip the whole car I'll epoxy it...If its a repair it just gets 2k...
good point DBM
generally if i repair i just shoot 2k,but there is not a lot of bare metal showing anyway.
if there is a lot of exposed bare metal,Epoxy.

More U.S. teens getting dangerous prescriptions: study
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - The chance that a teenager or young adult will received a prescription for a controlled medication has nearly doubled in the last 15 years in the United States, according to a study.
In 2007, one of out every nine teens and one out of six young adults in their 20s received prescriptions for medication such as pain killers, sedatives and stimulants that could potentially be abused, the study, led by Robert Fortuna at the University of Rochester in New York, warned.
While he told Reuters Health that this doesn't necessarily mean that teenagers and young adults will either abuse the medications or pass them onto others, it does reinforce the need to let people know how dangerous the drugs can be -- and the need to monitor their use.
"Physicians need to have open discussions with patients about the risk and benefits of using controlled medications, including the potential for misuse and diversion," he said.
"Patients should also be monitored closely to ensure that their symptoms are adequately being treated and to ensure that prescriptions are being used as prescribed."
The study also did not address whether young people are getting too many of these prescriptions and doctors should cut back, he added.
The study, which focused on controlled medications, was based on data from 4,304 doctors and 3,856 clinics and emergency departments.
In 1994, only 6 percent of teens received a prescription for a controlled medication. By 2007, more than 11 percent were getting them.
The same trend held for young adults, increasing from 8 percent to 16 percent in the same time period. Continued...

Re: Re: Timed Notebooks for Student Take-home examinations
Thanks everyone, for all the advice, but I should clarify.
What I wish to have is a notebook template that the student would
take less than 3 hours to complete. The student would be told, "you
should read the sections in the Help Browser on, (say), Thread and
Nest prior to the exam."
The assignment would require the student to write simple Mathematica
routines and functions, and would be judged on cleverness and the
"elegance" of the solution. For example, a question that might take
an hour would be, "Suppose that the interaction between two atoms in
a solid is V[r] = a/r^6 + b/r^12, calculate the equilibrium
separation of atoms, calculate their vibration frequency, using
Boltzman statistics produce a graphic that represents the density of
states as a function of temperature."
Thus the forms of the solutions are not fixed, but must be created
by the student. The exams would be graded comparatively.
And so, I am thinking along these lines.
1. A package, say TakeHomeExam, would be created which could be
encoded and with hidden variables.
2. The package would have an--also encoded---init.m which would
produce a string as the first line of the notebook via something
Encode[ToString[Date[]],"foo.m", "instructors_key"];
3. Unfortunately, I don't see anything like "exit.m" so I would
require the student to finish the exam with a function from the
package, say FinishExam, which would do something like:
FinishExam :=
Thus I might be able to decode and test the exam for "fairness" with
my own private "instructors_key"
It's unfortunate that I must use file i/o, but I don't see a simple
way around that.
I do see that students would be able to seek expert help, or copy,
but I am willing to live with that.
I haven't tried to implement this---I am sure there will be some
problems. I was thinking that somebody else might have tried
something similar (or someone at Wolfram might see the benefit
of such a package and create one...)
Thanks again, Craig

Technical Abstract: Regional and global estimation of soil moisture requires the use of space-based sensors. Satellite data allows analysis on a variety of temporal and spatial scales. Field measurements of temperature and soil moisture were performed for the time period July 8-20, 1999, in the Little Washita Watershed, Chickasha, Oklahoma. In-situ observations of soil moisture are required for calibration and validation of model and other aircraft-based remotely sensed estimates. Initial results from this study have shown that surface temperature measurements taken with handheld InfraRed thermometers (IRT) and gravimetric soil moisture in the 0-2.5cm depth interval are related to each other based on surface, soil, and vegetation characteristics. A high correlation between the surface layer temperature and soil moisture will allow us to use satellite surface temperature data for making soil moisture interpretations. Specifically, we ecan use AVHRR and/or TOVS data for regional moisture estimates. The surfac temperature collected during this experiment will be compared to estimates from TOVS, AVHRR, and GOES satellite sensors. Surface temperature was observed in a 400m x 400m field at various spatial grid spacing such as 50m, 10m, and 1m over a 15-day time period in order to quantify the changes in spatially distributed behavior of surface temperature during a drydown period and to see the spatial resolution of the remote sensing devices used during this study. The correlation of temperature with soil moisture, as well as with other meteorological data, is vital for future efforts involving these parameters at regional scales using remote sensing techniques.

The Diaset 240 contact presetter from Big Kaiser Precision Tooling features mineral cast construction, an updated spindle and a new digital control readout. The entry-level presetter's "easy-run" system, developed by Innotool, enables smooth axis movement, while linear magnetic scales promote accuracy. The presetter checks runout to less than 0.0008" (0.030 mm) TIR and offers positioning accuracy of 0.0001" (0.002 mm), the company says. It offers and individual pneumatic locking mechanisms along the X and Z axis for fine adjustments.
The system is equipped with solid guides; an incremental dial indicator; a precisely ground, carbide touch probe; and a pneumatic foot pedal. A stable measuring column and the mineral-cast base increase rigidity and resist temperature fluctuations for repeatability and accuracy of measurements. The presetter features an integral ISO40 taper, and reduction adapters are available for other common interfaces. The two-axis indicator features a sensitive embedded mechanic to detect measuring pressures. The large digital display unit is located behind the spindle and features one serial port for connecting a Dymo SE 450 label printer. The presetter also can be equipped with tool shank adapters, precision test bars, a 30" × 30" workbench with lockable door and shelf, and more.

(NEW YORK, NY)-- Comedian Ellen DeGeneres was Sam Donaldson's guest this afternoon on email@example.com, the daily Webcast on ABCNEWS.com. Following is a partial transcript:
SAM DONALDSON: People remember, of course, the Ellen Morgan show, where you were Ellen Morgan, in the great Ellen show, in which in 1998 you came out. And our first question comes from Peggy, who says, ``Can you talk about your ambivalence, reluctance and, if any, fears about coming out as a role model for the gay community?''
ELLEN DEGENERES: Well, I didn't realize that that's what I was going to be doing. I think I was very naive. I thought that I was doing something for myself, and it certainly would be an interesting way to do it on television. And my character seemed pretty asexual anyway. It didn't really seem to be a stretch to have the character come out.
I did not realize that I was going to be the so-called ``leader'' of the gay community. I didn't know that that - I mean, so far I've received no banner, no crown, nothing. There's no payment for this job, and the hours suck. I'll tell you that. Because I've got to be gay 24 hours a day, every single day. And that's exhausting.
SAM DONALDSON: Not - not like a shawl you take off, you know, in the evenings or something like that.
ELLEN DEGENERES: Yeah. No, no, I'm gay all the time. You know, I get nothing for it.
No, I really didn't know that it was going to be that I would become some leader. I just really thought that I was going to do something that was going to help myself and live my life truthfully and honestly, which I believe that's what we are here to do, whatever that means to an individual is to live your life truthfully.
And so it kind of hit me pretty hard, and to take on this responsibility so, you know, so to say as kind of carrying the torch. And I don't mind doing it. I think we have a long way to go, and I think we need help. I just want to get refocused back on what got me here in the first place, which is the fact that I'm a stand-up comedienne and that I - that I love doing comedy and I love making people laugh. And I guess that's really what I want to be known for.
SAM DONALDSON: Okay, well the last three years of your life. Jack, one of our web viewers has asked, ``How has your life changed since your coming out?''
ELLEN DEGENERES: Well, certainly, you know, people talk about dog years, that there's, I guess, you know, seven years to every human year in dog years. I think that gay years even surpass that. I feel like the last three years of my life have been like 30 years. I have lived through a lot.
And I feel blessed, I feel grateful for every moment, because I've learned a tremendous amount. I went through a very tough period after the show got cancelled. And, you know, basically when you're fired from any job, it's hard, but when you're publicly fired and humiliated it's really hard. So I went through a pretty deep depression for a while, and didn't know if I was going to be able to make it back out. And I did. And that to me I feel like I survived something. I feel like I know what compassion is now, because I know what that feels like to be in that place, because I had never been there before.
So I've learned a whole lot. I would not change one thing that I've done. I think that what I did, whether it was good for my career, if I have a vote in that poll that you're taking, whether it was good for my career or not, it's not about the career, it's what's good for me and for my soul.
SAM DONALDSON: Well, when your show was cancelled you were very bitter about it. And I think it's fair to say that you believe that ABC executives simply cut and run, that they were scared of the fact that you had come out, and it wasn't a question about whether you were a good comedienne or not, it was about that.
ELLEN DEGENERES: Well, I think, you know, in retrospect I look and I see that any network would have probably done the same thing. It's a very - there should have been a digestion process that I didn't take into consideration. I really expected everybody to open up their arms and say, ``We love you no matter what.'' And, you know, that was - that was naive of me and I realize I would have liked a little more support and a little more help and just a gentler way of saying goodbye rather than reading it in the trades. But, you know, but I think anybody probably would have done the same thing.
SAM DONALDSON: Karen Lynn has already put in a web question to you. It's as if she'd been listening to us, because she says, ``Do you feel that you're losing out on the chance to connect with straight fans, or do you fear losing your straight audience because of the attention directed toward your sexuality?''
ELLEN DEGENERES: I think I definitely have lost anyone who's close minded and lives that way and has a strong opinion about homosexuals, will not come see my show. I have a very mixed audience. I have a lot of straight people that come to see me. And, you know, it's because they're open, they come with an open heart and an open mind and it's got nothing to do with their sexuality or mine, really. It's just entertainment and it's just, you know, laughter. That's what it is.
So I -- you know, I worry about that, but I can't worry about those people that feel like that, because they already -- they have already made up their minds.
SAM DONALDSON: All right, let me go to another question. This one comes from Mary. ``Will you have another weekly sitcom? We miss you on weekly TV. All sitcoms are so alike these days, it's hard to tell them apart'' says Mary.
ELLEN DEGENERES: Yes. I'm going to do something totally different. It's me and a bunch of 20-year olds living in a very nice apartment in New York. It's called ``Pals''. Now, I'm doing a show, it's kind of a Carol Burnett variety show. I'll come out and I'll talk to the audience and -
SAM DONALDSON: Haven't I seen this show before? Isn't it called ``Friends''?
ELLEN DEGENERES: Well, that was ``Pals'' and then I changed my mind. (Laughter.) But, no, this is more of a - it's called ``The Ellen Show''. It's going to be on CBS. I think we're aiming for November sweeps. And I've got Tim Conway on the show, so you can't go wrong.
SAM DONALDSON: Oh, good. Ellen, before we leave I've got to ask you a question that keeps coming up frequently. You said when you were approached about marrying Ann Heche that in Vermont, where they now have legal same-sex marriage, that if they'd done that, you might do it. They've done that. Might you do it?
ELLEN DEGENERES: Well, they haven't really - I mean, I think it's officially in July, but it's also it only applies to if you're a resident of Vermont, and we're not. So until we decide to move to Vermont, it seems silly to go and have a ceremony just for the ceremony. I think it's a great start. I think it's a wonderful thing for people who live in Vermont. But I think we'll wait until it's legal for us and we get the same legal rights here in California where we live. And maybe that will happen in our lifetime, but we're -- you know, we're committed as we can possibly be and we've taken all the separate legal steps to make sure we have the same rights in hospital situations.
SAM DONALDSON: But I guess the underlying question is if it were legal where you live, would you get married?
ELLEN DEGENERES: Oh, yeah. I mean, in my mind we're married. Absolutely I would get married. I mean, I think everybody wants this, you know, the same rights that, you know, if something would happen to Ann or to myself in the hospital to be able to make decisions and go in there and, you know, if something would happen to either of us we'd be able to take care of the house and things wouldn't be taken away from us. So absolutely we'd get married if it were legal.
SAM DONALDSON: Well, if she keeps going and doing these Psycho movies, in which she gets murdered in the shower, she's not going to be around.
ELLEN DEGENERES: No, and -
SAM DONALDSON: Folks, she did the remake of Psycho.
ELLEN DEGENERES: Yeah, I'm not going to let her do that anymore. That was actually - let me just tell you a really quick funny story. Right after she did Psycho, which I was very upset by, I just hated seeing that, our dog got sprayed by a skunk in the country. And you're supposed to wash him with tomato sauce to get the - but we didn't have tomato sauce, we just had whole pomade tomatoes in the boxes. So I kept running back to get more tomatoes. And I come back and she's in the shower and there's just read tomato stuff all over the shower and she's naked in there just covered with the red tomatoes and the dog, and it was right after she did Psycho. And it was a pretty frightening experienced, just - there was no knife involved or anything, just her with red tomatoes all over, but...
SAM DONALDSON: I can understand how that wouldn't be very funny.
ELLEN DEGENERES: No, it was scary.

Childhood obesity has tripled in just 20 years. Preschool-age children who are inactive risk becoming overweight in the future. The U.S. Surgeon General says daily exercise is a key to being fit. (See Illinois Early Learning and Development Benchmarks 19.A.ECa Engage in active play using gross- and fine-motor skills., 19.B.ECc Combine large motor movements with and without the use of equipment., 20.A.ECa Participate in activities to enhance physical fitness., and 20.A.ECb Exhibit increased levels of physical activity..)
Encourage them to get moving. Make positive comments that focus on effort: "Wow, you zoomed down the slide!" "You almost made a basket!"
Provide at least 60 minutes a day for active free play. Offer riding toys, balls, beanbags, climbers, balance beams, and obstacle courses. Let children pedal, throw, roll, climb, run, skip, dig, and jump in a safe space until they are tired.
Plan an hour or more of structured physical activity each day. Families and caregivers can teach creative movement, dance, and game-playing skills. Many park districts offer classes in swimming, group games, or ballet for young children. Classes should focus on skills and fun, not winning and losing. In most cases, organized sports are more appropriate for older children.
Think about safety. Help children remember hats and mittens during cold weather. In hot weather, see that they cool off in the shade and drink plenty of water. Whatever the weather, help them avoid too much exposure to direct sunlight. If a child has asthma or another condition that limits active play, a health care provider can suggest ways to help the child be active and safe.
Turn off the TV, computer, and electronic games. Limit "screen time" to leave more time for active play. Experts say preschoolers should not sit in one place or lie down for more than an hour at a time unless they are sleeping.
Set a good example. Let children see you eating healthy food and being active. Note: Doctors say it is better to talk about becoming strong and healthy, rather than about "being thin" or "losing weight."
Exercise together. Try sledding, hiking, gardening, and games like catch or tag. Some preschoolers may enjoy a few minutes of playing electronic games that are based on being active together. Stress cooperation and fun rather than winning.
Share books that show the importance of fitness. Offer children books about dancers, athletes, construction workers, farmers, and other physically active people.

my 2006 did this in winter. Must have been paired with temperature. I had a luxury III, but my xts is not platinum.
It does on the CTS, I would imagine it would on the XTS.
Yes they do. But it has to be pretty cold in the car before they come on. My STS was like that too. Make sure when you go into SETTINGS that heated seats is checked. You can set up the rear defroster also if you want.
They do and they don't.
I reviewed it with my dealer and was told that the XTS Remote Start Auto Seat Heating/Cooling does work (when the auto option is selected in settings) when pretty cold/hot outside BUT without showing the little red dashes on the dashboard manual switch (which was the case on the STS and likely also on the DTS). It seems to me it works that way indeed (although I'm still testing). Notwithstanding that, I wonder how I would be able to turn the heating or cooling off manually say two minutes after the remote start?
Any other experience out there?
for more info
They do on my '12 CTS, although the temp has to be pretty cold. My CTS also turns on the defroster and the defogger a. I would imagine the STS should do all of that as well.
Can confirm it's -20 degrees celsius where i live and heated seats and steering wheel have never come on (loving the heated stearing wheel though even more than seats! Great feature and warms up super fast) Would be nice if the remote start always defaulted to full defrost because i'm lazy about scraping the windshield :)

Meet one of the most innovative thinkers of our time. He is a man who has had an enormous impact on our everyday lives.
David Kelley is the founder of the Silicon Valley global design firm Ideo. His company has created thousands of breakthrough inventions, including the first computer mouse for Apple, the standup toothpaste tube, and a better Pringle for Procter & Gamble. Ideo may be the most influential product design company in the world.
Kelley was a longtime friend and colleague of Steve Jobs -- "He made Ideo," Kelley tells Rose -- and he is a pioneer in something known as "design thinking," an innovative approach that incorporates human behavior into design.
David Kelley: "The big thing about design thinking is it allows people to build on the ideas of others. Instead of just having that one thread, you think about it, I come up with an idea, and then somebody from somewhere else says, 'Oh that makes me think we should do this,' and then we could do that. And then you get to a place that you just can't get to in one mind."
If you follow David Kelley around Ideo, you can see how he has infused that thinking into the legendary Palo Alto firm he founded more than 20 years ago. Breakthrough ideas happen every day here.

yep, I have an australian shepard who is a good barker.
If he starts barking outside I will generally go investigate it. If it is just the neighbor coming home, then I will tell him that its ok and to relax. If he doesnt then stop barking, I will command him to stop, etc. Whenever he barks because someone is coming up the driveway, I reward him.
It's awalys nice to know when something is going on outside. I love my dog.

Will the Sequester Impact Our Industry?
March 12, 2013
After Congress once again failed to agree on how to reduce the federal deficit, the sequester went into effect March 1. Of the sequester's $85 billion in automatic spending cuts, an estimated $4 billion come from reductions in construction spending, according to a March 3 Engineering News-Record report.
And while it's clear the sequester will in some way impact the commercial construction industry―most likely in the form of cuts to government projects such as military facilities―it's less clear what impact it will have on home building.
According to Rich Walker, president and CEO of the American Architectural Manufacturers Association, "sequestration will only serve to weaken the economy further, and have negative repercussions for our industry, which has been slowly gaining ground since the recession. Government overspending is more than a scraped knee or elbow. It's a serious injury that we all suffer from, and we cannot continue to cover it with a flimsy Band-Aid that falls off after a few weeks."
What's your take? Will the sequester negatively impact home building, and in turn, the window and door industry? Will consumers stop buying and building amidst worries of government cuts? Or will this be a non-issue for our industry? Please send me an email or post your comments below.

Initial timing related to dieseling?
How likely is it that my change in initial timing is causing the engine to run-on?
I was getting some detination so I recurved and now am running 15-16 degrees initial. The engine runs fine other than the dieseling. It doesn't do it every time. It drives away cold great and idles at 850 in gear and 650 in park. I checked the primary transition slots on the holley and they looked around .060 give or take. I had no dieseling problem in the winter when I was running a high initial timing, which was around 20-22 degrees but have also changed lot of other things too.
383 stroker
xe284 cam advanced additional 3 degrees
9.8-10:1 static compression
.04 quench
93 octane (runon is much worse with 89 now but used to be fine)
Run on
Too much initial timing + bottom line octane (87) will cause your problem.
Leave your timing backed down where you have it now and run 93 octane.
You might even back it down a couple of * and try adding some octane booster. Either way, it will take a couple of tank full's of gas before you will see any improvement. You also might have some carbon build up on the valves which can be knocked off with a couple of eyedropper's full of water
when the engine is cold on first start up at about 3,000 rpm.

Hey Tach-1, 40 yrs. ago I had a 3/4 cam in a 360 ADV. 3* with 10:1 and never had a problem. Would that be because the gas was 100-101 octane?
I often wonder how engines can run on today's 93 with ratio's like he has and get away with it.
Retarded ignition timing can cause this because when the initial is retarded you must open the throttle more to maintain a certain idle sped. Opening the throttle blades can cause run on. Advancing your inital will allow you to close the throttle more at idle and reduce the chances of run on. Also, a cam being advanced can cause extremely high cylinder pressures because the intake valves will close sooner. High cylinder pressures can also cause run on.
The ignition spark quits when the key is turned off, so ignition timing should have zero to do w/it- there's no spark! The timing has a secondary affect because of how far the blades are open at idle if not enough initial timing is used as stated correctly by Greg T above, or if ported vacuum advance is used.
That said, I have seen on my own engines in the past, that advancing the timing seemed to cause the engine to diesel.
The one sure thing is the engine needs fuel to diesel. If the throttle blades are set to close further at shutdown (like the anti-diesel solenoids do), or are otherwise closed beyond some point, there will not be enough fuel flow to allow the dieseling to happen.
I would look for a way to close the transition slot more than it now is, and/or lean the idle mixture screws using the "lean drop" method.

too much fuel is in the chamber at shut down.
this is cause by the front throttle blades opened to much at idle.
retarded ignition timing requires more throttle to get the same idle speed.
use manifold vacuum on the vacuum advance to regain timing at idle.
run 15 initial then add another 10-15 with the vacuum advance on a manifold source (30 total at idle). 25-30 degrees of timing at idle will increase idle speed which will allow you to turn down the throttle adjustment.
you could also try cracking open the secondary blades (flip the carb over to see the blade adjustment screw). this will add more air and allow the front blades to be closed more at idle. drilling the front blades also works to let in extra air (one 0.090" hole in each front blade).
I would try the the manifold vacuum advance first, but not sure the 284 cam will make enough vacuum for that.
The real fix is to get an adjustable distributor and limit the total advance to stop the detonation and run enough initial timing to stop the dieseling at shut down.
also, why advance the cam 3 more degrees? comp already puts an extra 4 in the cam. I would run it straight up as this could lower cylinder pressure and make it less prone to detonate in the first place which will allow you to go back to 20 degrees timing at idle.
(combined with your recent previous thread info about light throttle acceleration cruise ping,,,probable too lean jetting condition source/cause explained by old bogie)
the dieseling problem is a second solid clue that your carb jetting is maybe/likely a hair too lean!!!
you only increased the base from (before) 14 to now 15 but that does mean the motor HP/TQ actual output at idle rpms increased (because the intake stroke Hg increased),,,that means the whole rotating assembly has more rotating inertia stored when you do turn off the key to be sensitive to run on...
the typical/normal "suggested" (start point amount) base for your cam duration is 16....
(your cam needs idle Hg help from added timing to help keep the chambers free of carbon build up when idling)
so it's not likely the minor base timing change itself is the root cause...
try simple first:
for a clue for is it carbon or too lean,,,just go do some hwy/interstate miles (50+?),,,the combination of lots of timing (your 15b+18c+9v) and rpms and lean fuel feed (20Hg at cruise) and light load does wonders for self cleaning the chambers....
if it diesels at the end of the hwy run when you turn it off,,that's another small clue it is a jetting problem...
LOL,,,make a positive out of a negative?????
typically,,, increasing the jet size just slightly on a cammed motor increases actual power output so you actually use less throttle when driving normal (motor responds alot crisper/quicker to a normal driving throttle change)...
"because" inherent in all high performace cams,,,you traded more high rpms HP for less actual street rpms range TQ output than the oem stock cam...
feed it slightly more "btu potential" (gas) to help the cam at street rpms,,, can help build more/higher cylinder pressure,,, so the motor can/will wind up quicker at street rpms driving normal...
from all you have posted,,, fair to good chance,,,,slightly larger jets will feel like a 20HP+ gain driving normal...
a short add to that previous vac adv thread:
to see what that supposed to be 9* added max at 13Hg or higher vac unit is actually adding at your 20Hg cruise...
use the linkage idle rpms screw to turn up the rpms to cruise rpms and read the timing total with/without the vac plugged in....

My engine does this too. I was told my converter is the problem, but until I get a higher stall converter, I just shut it down in gear.
Hope theres a vacuum advance on the dizzy here Unless its only full throttle, full rich condition all day long, everytime its driven.
correction/clarification to my post..
vac adv unit models are usually stated/written in "distributor degrees"...
(you multiply by 2 to know how many max crank degrees will be added to the base and cent at light load/high Hg )
your unit "adds max 9* at 13Hg and above" means it will add 18 crank *'s at 13Hg and above
your 20Hg cruise timing total is 15b+18c+18v=51TT
the unit notations/script on your vac adv link in the previous thread are clear as mud!!!
do the timing light at cruise rpms (using the idle rpms screw) test I posted to know if it is a 9 or 18...
if it is a 18* added fixed unit that doesn't drop out completely till less than 5Hg is present,,,you don't want it on your combo...
a picture is worth a 1000 words...
your specific unit behaves same as this attached adjustable unit graph does "if" this one is set to 5 turns....
(degrees added vertical line is dist degrees)
add just abit to 454's and F-bird's posts????
for a carb to be able to fully atomize the gas at only idle rpms=slow moving pistons (atomize it fine enough to STAY in suspension with the air all the way into the chamber),,,the carb wants/needs about a 13Hg vacuum signal or higher...
your 284 cam at a 1000rpm's idle with only 18 base can only make about/maybe 11Hg....
(more than 18* base starting it when hot gets to be a issue)
having more timing at idle with your cam raises the idle Hg significantly!!!!
to see it,,just slightly loosen the dist hold down,,,start the motor then carefully twist the dist so there is more timing at idle,,,both Hg on the gage and rpms will climb!!!=the motor is making more power with the same amount of gas because it is a more better atomized A/F mix!!!
(so you can reduce the blade gap)
my $.02:
which way to get to 24-28 idle timing depends some on how you most often use the car????
more street and cruise/less strip=buy a vac unit that only adds 8-10 crank degrees (or a adjustable unit) and plug it into "full time" manifold vacuum as 454 explained...
(base at 16-18 it should start fine when hot if the starter system is in good operating condition)
more strip/less street=rework the cent to only add say 10*s so the base can be 24-26* which is what F-bird is saying...
(to get it to start hot,,,add a ign bypass toggle or momentary switch,,,you turn off the spark until it is spinning then turn on the ign so it gets spark)
I wouldn't use vac adv with that set up but if you do then buy a adjustable unit and plug it into ported,,,vac adv can/maybe be a beeetch to tune out mid throttle ping on a steep hill starting out with that much base...

Wow, lots of great info in these posts!!! Thanks!!
I decided to run the cam advanced another 3 degrees in addition to the 4 comp grinds in because that's how I was running it before I blew the motor. We originally did not know comp grinds in 4, but the 3650 lb car ran a 107mph trap so we figured it was pretty darn close and it would be best put it back like it was. Ya know if it ain't broke... it wasn't dieseling back then either.
As for the timing I have tried the vac advance connected to manifold vacuum before. The cam dosn't get enough vacuum in gear so it pulls most of the timing out between park and drive which gives me a huge drop of rpms. 6" in gear, 11" in park currently.
Hot spots in the engine compartment? I have noticed that every set of plugs I use in these heads give me funny burn marks on the insulators. I'm currently experimenting with 2 non-projected tip plugs and they seem to not be affected like the rest of the projected ones. Also experimenting with different heat ranges and swapping plugs from cylinder to cylinder. Currently I'm running 6 NGK UR6 plugs, one autolite 144, and one autolite 145. The 145 is always clean white like new while the other plugs porcelin look darker. Not sure which one to use.
The engine will not take any more than 32 degrees total timing right now at WOT. If I bump it to 34 degrees or higher, I can hear it chattering on a WOT acceleration above 3k. I might still need more fuel like was posted earlier even though I finally gave in and bumped it up from 72s to 74s. I have a pair of 76 jets I can try out however it's not surging or anything so I don't want to rejet if I can avoid it.
As for a high initial, that's the way I had it with the engine before I blew it the past couple times. I was running around 22-26 I believe somewhere around there and had the total limited with welded up slots. I have an interupter switch on the ignition power so starting is not an issue. I changed it to 15 initial because I was getting some detination and thought maybe the curve was comming in too soon so I retarted it and filed out the slots. Now that I look back it was prob just lean. Sure are a lot of variables haha.
Edit: Oh yeah, I tried cracking the secondaries some by adjusting the set screw, but I just couldn't get it to run right like that. It would be perfect wark, but then with a cold motor, I would have to idle it up a lot higher to get it to run right, so I put them back to where I started. This is a 80508 vacuum secondary carb with no secondary idle circuit, maybe that has something to do with it.

what the 11" in park and only 6" in drive (5Hg drop!!!) tells you is the motor is making so little actual TQ at idle (illustration say 75 ft/lbs?) that just the slight added drag/load from the slipping torque convertor (illustration say just 30ft/lbs? drag) is to much for the motor to handle!!!
till you sort this all out you would be wise to kick it into neutral at red lights and raise the idle rpms to 1000...

In Memory of the man of my dreams George 27/1/77 to 12/7/11
It was 1 year 1 month and 5 days ago since I lost the man of my dreams.
He never said goodbye, He never said he was leaving.Someone took him from me.
I got home from work to find out that the night before someone had taken
the life of the man I loved.I never thought I would have to say goodbye to him.
That day I remember like it was yesterday. I couldnt believe what I was hearing.
I never thought i would have to say goodbye. And it hurt because I didnt say goodbye
and tell him before he left that I love him more than anything in this world.
They say it gets easier to deal with but I dont think it does. Because it still hurts
so much. I just wish I could him. Kiss him and tell him that I love him.
I dont know how to deal with the pain anymore. I just want it to stop hurting.
He was my life. I loved him more than life in its self. And I need him back.
I spend nights just wishing he would come back. Just for 1 day. Just to tell me
he loved me. The day he was taken was the day part of me died with him.
The hurt and the pain arnt getting easier. I just want to look in his eyes one more
time. And tell him I love him. But i cant. And it hurts. Every day. I think i see him
i have to look twice to make sure its not. when i know it cant be. Its not possible.
But i want it so bad to be him. I need him here with me.
I LOVE you GEORGE and i just want this pain to hurt just a little less. DEE
