Mary-Claire King, PhD
Mary-Claire King, PhD: ASHG President (2012)
We are extraordinarily fortunate to be living in this era of exciting discoveries and rapid scientific advancements in human genetics. There has not been a more exciting time to be involved in the genetics field since Gregor Mendel counted smooth and wrinkled peas and Charles Darwin tended finches.
- Mary-Claire King, PhD
Research Interests:
Dr. King is known worldwide for her major accomplishments in human genetics research. Some of her most noteworthy achievements include: identifying the BRCA1 gene responsible for inherited susceptibility to breast cancer; demonstrating that the genomes of humans and chimpanzees are 99% genetically identical; and pioneering the application of genomic sequencing methods in forensics to identify victims of human rights abuse.
Dr. King's research team uses experimental and bioinformatics genomics tools to study common, complex human diseases and health conditions. Dr. King's primary research areas of interest are inherited breast and ovarian cancer, inherited deafness, and the genetics of schizophrenia. King's group applies the study of human genetics and genomics to identify and characterize critical genes in affected families and populations. Because these conditions are not purely genetic, they also study the interaction between genetic and environmental influences on human traits and disease outcomes. King's team also applies genomic sequencing to the identification of victims of human rights abuses.
Dr. King serves as an expert available for media interviews on the following topic areas:
Mary-Claire King, PhD, is American Cancer Society Research Professor of Genetics and Medicine (Medical Genetics) at the University of Washington in Seattle. Dr. King was elected to serve as 2012 President of the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG), after having completed a two-year term as a member of the ASHG Board of Directors from 2006 to 2008. She has also served on the Editorial Board of ASHG's scientific journal, The American Journal of Human Genetics (AJHG).
In 1990, Mary-Claire King demonstrated that a single gene on chromosome 17q21 (which she named BRCA1) was responsible for breast and ovarian cancer in many families. Her discovery of BRCA1 revolutionized the study of numerous other common inherited diseases. The approach that King developed to identify BRCA1 has since proven valuable in the study of many other genetic diseases and conditions.
Dr. King's current research employs the use of experimental and bioinformatics genomics tools to study complex genetic diseases in humans. Her research focuses on identifying and characterizing critical genes – and their interaction with environmental influences – that play a role in the development of conditions such as breast and ovarian cancer, schizophrenia, and hearing loss.
She has served on the National Commission on Breast Cancer of the President's Cancer Panel, the advisory board of the NIH Office of Research on Women's Health, the Council of the NIH Fogarty Center, the advisory board of the National Action Plan for Breast Cancer, the NIH Breast Cancer Program Review Group, the Board of Scientific Counselors of NCI, the Board of Scientific Counselors of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, the National Research Council committee to advise the Department of Defense on their Breast Cancer Research Program, and many NIH study sections. Abroad, she has served as Consultant to the Commission on the Disappearance of Persons of the Republic of Argentina and has carried out DNA identifications for the United Nations War Crimes Tribunal. Her lab continues to provide genetic identification services and currently serves as the DNA identification base for the United Nations War Crimes Tribunals.
Dr. King has won many awards and honors for her seminal contributions to genetics research, as well as her humanitarian efforts. She was elected to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), the Institute of Medicine (IOM), the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). King was also named as honorary chair for the state of Washington at the 50th Anniversary of the United Nations. In 2004, King was honored as the recipient of the Gruber Genetics Prize from the Peter and Patricia Gruber Foundation, and she has received many other awards throughout her career, including the Clowes Award for Basic Research from the American Association for Cancer Research, the Jill Rose Award from the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, and the Brinker Award from the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
Dr. King holds a B.A. in Mathematics from Carleton College in Minnesota and a Ph.D. in Genetics from the University of California at Berkeley and carried out postdoctoral training at the University of California, San Francisco. Prior to joining the Department of Medicine (Medical Genetics) and the Department of Genome Sciences at the University of Washington, Seattle, in 1995, King served as a Professor of Genetics in the Departments of Molecular and Cell Biology and of Epidemiology at the University of California at Berkeley from 1976 to 1995.

Press On Nails, Easy Artificial Nail Kits
Press on nails are made from pieces of preformed plastic, and utilize either an adhesive backing or a brush-on glue to attach the product to the nail plate.
Press-ons have established a fairly good track record for safety: Compared to other types of artificial nails, they rarely cause allergic reactions or give rise to infections.
The most common complaints about press-ons are that they tend to lose their grip after a few days of use, and they don't look as realistic or natural as, say, sculptured nails or nail wraps. They also sometimes pop off unexpectedly.
Yet despite these shortcomings, a set of good quality press-on nails should serve quite nicely for the kind of limited, short-term usage we favor.
They're inexpensive, easy-to-use, and available at nearly every store that carries cosmetics or health and beauty care products.
Just be certain to select a color that doesn't look unnaturally glossy, and do some careful trimming of the plastic if any of the artificial nails are the slightest bit too large for your nail plates. This will not only help them adhere better, but also make them less likely to chafe and irritate your nail folds and cuticles.
Sculptured Nails
A beautiful realistic looking nail, but read these warnings about wearing the sculptured or custom molded nail for long periods.

I have alwasy felt that Exxon Corp (XOM) is one of the world's largest compnay in terms of various factors.
What they do need is more employees.

I would like to thank the hard working people of Chevron corp for understanding important stuff. The new 4 day a week work policy, is excellent and the employees are happier. The work gets done on time and is of high quality.
I have always felt that the oil industry is managed by responsible human beings...

I {we} think that Exxon Mobil needs to hire 500,000 people because at times their bad day washes out to us and rarely their good day. If you keep wrecking our day we will drop the value of your share price.
Also, your site in the South Bay area in Southern California has all those no Trespassing signs and video cameras, yet your people still walk through our neighborhood and step on the grass and stuff. Those other people can cause they seem simpler.

Hello Humans of Exxon corporation,
Please ask all of your employees and their family members not to contact me in any form. Also, a few of your people stepped on our grass. Please advise your people not to do that or we will crash the share market like in 1929.
Right now the white ones are resolving to Europe. The black ones are resolving to Africa. The oriental ones are resolving to Asia. The desi ones are resolving to Saarc. The arab ones are resolving to Middle East. The balance of humanity is resolving to the Americas.

Hello Human people of Exxon corporation,
Please contact the United States of America or the United Nations. They will help you with the looking, talking, touching, grass, LAWn, gun agreement. Citigroup is eagerly waiting to talk to the employees of Exxon corpopration.
A few ADT, GE, Verizon and other corporation employees made it to our house. We told them over the phone, we don't want their products. I am sure that your wife understands the pressure issues. The fire department backed by the gun department made it our backyard, due to concerns of the townpeople, statepeople. They want to see the movie for free.
In any event, the people of the town want to set the refinary on fire. Then the fire department backed by the gun department can put out the fire. You know the drill. They need the traaaaaiiiiiinnnnn.
Thank You,

I think some problem in South Asia. The State Bank of India, ICICI bank, others won't exchange foreign dollars for rupees. In their favor, Bank of Baroda will exchange foregin dollars for rupees. We can't be there. There is toilet problem in delhi, kolkata, bombay. I think the guns at the airport speak for themselves. We will see you in 100,000 years. In my openions, the six races of humanity, will soon evolve into distinct species. {Black, Oriental, White, Desi, Arab, Earther}. We write Earther, cause talk there is difficult.

little white human girl earther says she is crazy. White race crazy. If white race was healthy they would help the little girl. The woman girl gender crazy. If the human woman girl were doing well, they would help the little girl. The human species crazy. If the human species was doing well, they would help the little girl.
The human species not willing to help cause of the racial issues. The woman girl gender not willing to help cause of the racial issues. The race not willing to help cause of the team issues. The PAYMENT issues. Otherwise, we can't go to work.
Looking, touching, talking agreements.
Results : Race is less, Gender is less, Species is less. Family is more. Acquaintances are more.

This is typical, this is routine – people parking on Masonic northbound and then jaywalking across five lanes of traffic to get to Trader Joe's #100 and then jaywalking again back to their rides
Why do people do this? Well, 'cause getting from northbound Masonic to southbound, which is the only way to get into the parking lot, is a PITA. Drivers are banned from simply turning left into the parking lot because that would end up blocking half of northbound Masonic, and of course Masonic is the Great Connector betwixt The Avenues and the Place Where People Want To Be.
And even if you get yourself facing southbound, you still have to queue up to get into TJ's ridiculously small parking lot. Hey, couldn't they have built an underground garage? Well, sure, but you'd have to talk with the Planning Department about that. And hey, couldn't they have built parking on the roof? Well, sure, and actually they did but you'd have to talk with the Planning Department about that because the average shopper isn't allowed to park on the roof.
And actually, the current parking situation is better than before. Our vaunted Planning Department did a very poor job with this project and now we're left with a kludgy fix that commits part of Masonic to TJ's shoppers idling and parking and waiting.
So that's the situation, that's why people say I-don't-wanna-deal-with-all-that and simply park on northbound Masonic on the east side of the street.
And that's fine, that's legal, but then the shoppers see that northbound Masonic has long stretches when it's empty (because drivers need to wait at a red for a long time to let traffic on Geary go through) and they see a bunch of stalled traffic on southbound Masonic (because of the shoppers queuing up and also to wait at a red for a long time to let traffic on Geary go through). So they march across 30 MPH Masonic to get to the store.
How many TJs shoppers do this on a busy day? IDK, hundreds. It's their thing, it's their routine.
So can you die doing this? Sure. Does TJ's know about this situation? Sure. I don't see how they couldn't be aware. I mean, when you have journalists calling up your store asking about how somebody died, I assume that you're aware of the situation.
What's the solution? Well, people'd be safer walking down to Geary and crossing legally, but they all already know that.
You see the problem is that they don't know how dangerous it is to do what they're doing.
Hey, you know how many people die at Ocean Beach during a typical year? A lot. So many theat they have a special sign:
How about similar signs for shoppers at this unique store:
People Jaywalking Have Died Here
How about that?
Unique situations call for unique signs, right?
Are you going to do anything at all, Trader Joe's #100?

After an overwhelming response by the knitting, crochet, spinning, and handcrafting community, the US Olympics Committee issued an apology followed by "follow-up" reiteration of said apology:
Statement Update:
"As a follow-up to our previous statement on this subject, we would again like to apologize to the members of the Ravelry community. While we stand by our obligation to protect the marks and terms associated with the Olympic and Paralympic Movements in the United States, we sincerely regret the use of insensitive terms in relation to the actions of a group that was clearly not intending to denigrate or disrespect the Olympic Movement. We hope you'll accept this apology and continue to support the Olympic Games."
Statement from USOC Chief Communications and Public Affairs Officer Patrick Sandusky:
"Thanks to all of you who have posted, tweeted, emailed and called regarding the letter sent to the organizers of the Ravelympics.
Like you, we are extremely passionate about what we do. And, as you may know, the United States Olympic Committee is a non-profit entity, and our Olympic team receives no government funding. We are totally dependent on our sponsors, who pay for the right to associate with the Olympic Movement, as well as our generous donors to bring Team USA to the Games.After reading some of the responses to these "apologies," it's clear that most of the respondents do not find the USOC's apology very apologetic. What's your take? As for me - I will always support the young men and women who participate in the Olympics, representing our country. However, I do not support the obvious willingness of the USOC to insult millions of US Citizens under the guise of a form letter. In my opinion, that behavior denigrates our athletes.
The letter sent to the organizers of the Ravelympics was a standard-form cease and desist letter that explained why we need to protect our trademarks in legal terms. Rest assured, as an organization that has many passionate knitters, we never intended to make this a personal attack on the knitting community or to suggest that knitters are not supportive of Team USA.
We apologize for any insult and appreciate your support. We embrace hand-crafted American goods as we currently have the Annin Flagmakers of New Jersey stitching a custom-made American flag to accompany our team to the Olympic Games in London. To show our support of the Ravelry community, we would welcome any handmade items that you would like to create to travel with, and motivate, our team at the 2012 Games."

Core77 has a great collection of collections of vintage microphones. Shiny!
True industrial design: vintage mic's [Core77.com]
oooooh jeeezus. Ok the RCA ribbons are probably the most desirable there.
The 'Blue' mics are 'vintagesque'. Nice looking, but not vintage.
I like 'em all!
Very nice, of course, but both the BB comment (core77 has a great collection of vintage microphones…..) and core77's own comment (but it's also a sad reminder that a once-beautiful object, a device that truly signified "industrial design," is gone forever…) are a bit misleading: 1: core77 posts a gallery of pictures (and says so), it's not his/their collection 2: there are quite a few brandnew off-the-shelf mics of great design posted there (like the Blue mics). "Gone forever", hmm, a bit exagerated! A bit pricey, certainly.
The nicest collection of vintage microphones I've seen is at The Warehouse Studio here in Vancouver. It's Bryan Adam's studio, and chock full of choice goodies. They have a Neve console that, when receiving an automation upgrade, was signed by Rupert Neve!

If you made the transition to the Ribbon User Interface when Office 2007 was released, the upgrade to Office 2010 really wasn't a big deal for you.
There are changes, but not in a way that gives you that "I'm lost" feeling so many people felt with their beginning efforts in Office 2007.
But, if you're one of the many who didn't use Office 2007, and jumped right to Office 2010, then you were in for a bit of a shock.
OK, maybe "a bit of a shock" is a little to mild of a phrase for some of you… in some cases, I'm betting that overwhelmed may work as a better description of how you feel.
If this is you, then I have a resource to show you today, that may speed up the adaption process for you.
Just as they did when Office 2007 was released, Microsoft has created interactive guides that will allow you to choose a command from an Office 2003 program and then it shows you were to find it in Office 2010.
To find the guides head over to the Microsoft Support Site.
Once there, you'll be presented with page that allows you to choose which program guide you want to use.
Once you choose one, it will load. You then click the Start button and then you'll be presented with this:
Yep, that's right – it's the 2003 version of the program you chose.
At this point, you need to go to the menu command or button that you can't seem to find in Office 2010.
Once you click that command you'll find that the guide switches over to the 2010 version of the program and in a slow-motion sequence it will show you where to find it.
After it's done showing you where to find it, you'll get a summary screen that looks something like this:
As you can see, it verifies the 2003 command and then lists the location for the command in Office 2010.
I've found these guides to be one of the quickest and easiest ways to locate something that you just can't find without the hassles of a help window, or a lot of wasted time spent searching and searching and searching…
I hope you find them useful too!
~ April

Vail Rental
Can anyone tell me if I can rent any boards with Magna-Traction?, I heard they are nice. I will be Leaving for Vail in a week.
I can't help you on the rentals, but I'll be in Vail 2/24-28 let me know if you'll be there then maybe we could meet up and take a run
Cool Man! If you see me I,ll be wearing 686 white jacket and gray pants, pro tec helmet and Oakley crow bar gogs. I'll probably just rent a decent board, but I hope to ride new boots and bindings. Hopefully I won't suck near the last few days of my trip.
Post, Rickenfan.
...because you'll be the ONLY one wearing 686 at vail...
I hope not...not for what I had to pay for this trip. Is there a lot of people that will be wearing 686... probably so. But **mn getting new gear is better than great. So please don't hate, I also skate.
Post, Rickenfan.
I'll look for you but I don't like my chances of actually finding you! I'll probably be out by the Blue Sky area and the Back bowls with a bunch of skier friends. Look for a pack of 4 skiers with one big ass snowboarder and that'll be me
Thats funny because I am going with a group of skiers thats from Orlando. I had to join a ski club just to go on this upcoming trip. not that theres anything wrong with that. By the way would you recommend a good shop to get a board, boots, and bindings from in Vail?
Post, Rickenfan.
wish I could give a shop recomendation, but it's my first time in that area... I'd say just about all any shop in that area would be fine though
These guys have rental shops throughout the ski areas and they usually have some decent equipment. They also usually have NICE demo equipment for a little more money if you want to go above the usual rental beaters.

The scandal surrounding the dumping of toxic incinerator ash on Newcastle allotments and footpaths, could be just the tip of a toxic iceberg, Greenpeace warned today. It has emerged that incinerators across Britain may have been breaking the law by avoiding the cost of disposing of this toxic ash in special hazardous waste landfills by selling it to be "recycled" it into building projects. Edmonton in North London, the UK's biggest rubbish burner has until recently been using the hazardous ash in public road projects and domestic waste tips. Greenpeace is writing to all incinerator operators and the Environment Agency, which is responsible for regulating incineration, to ask how widespread this practice of ash disposal is and exactly where in the UK contaminated ash has been spread.
Greenpeace Toxics campaigner Mark Strutt said,
"It is dangerous and irresponsible to dispose of hazardous ash like this leaving a toxic heritage for future generations. There are no safe levels for many of these chemicals whether they are released as chimney gases or end up ash. Byker and the other 12 incinerators should be shut for good and the Government should cancel its plans to build any more."
The 13 incinerators in the UK create more than a million tonnes of ash a year. Ash from the pollution filter systems of household rubbish incinerators known as 'fly ash' is classified as hazardous waste and must be disposed of in special landfill sites. This fly ash is contaminated with extremely high concentrations of heavy metals and toxic compounds like dioxins, linked to cancer and other health problems. In May of last year, following Newcastle's Byker ash scandal, public health officials banned children from nearby allotments and warned people not to eat eggs and chickens produced there.
The official report into the effects of spreading contaminated ash from the Byker incinerator on local allotments and public footpaths in Newcastle came out last night (12/01/01). Local people have already condemned the report as inadequate. An independent report commissioned by residents said the "contamination of allotments in Newcastle by high levels of dioxins and heavy metals from Byker incinerator could be one of the most serious dioxin contamination events in the UK".
Since 1998, waste companies have been using less hazardous 'bottom ash' collected in incinerator grates and selling it to be mixed with asphalt or concrete and used in building projects. Both Byker and Edmonton incinerators have been illegally mixing this bottom ash with the more toxic fly ash from the pollution filters.
Environment Agency officials were questioned before a House of Commons inquiry in November of last year, as to whether incinerators other than Byker had been mixing the ash. It emerged that there were believed to be others and Edmonton was confirmed as having done so just days before the enquiry. (1)
There are currently 13 municipal waste incinerators in the UK, of which Edmonton is the biggest. Thirty-three new ones are under construction or in various stages of planning. The Environment Agency is still talking in terms of a hundred or more being built. The many toxic pollutants contained in the stack gases and ashes produced by all incinerators will threaten the health and quality of life of millions of people. In August last year, research found that between 1974 and 1987, children who had lived within 5km of incinerators were twice as likely to die of cancer. (2)
In a House of Lords enquiry on 14th April 1999, Environment Minister Michael Meacher said,
"Incinerator plants are the source of serious toxic pollutants: dioxins; furans; acid gases; particulates; heavy metals; and they all need to be treated very seriously. There must be absolute prioritisation given to human health requirements and protection of the environment. I repeat the emissions from incinerator processes are extremely toxic. Some of the emissions are carcinogenic We must use every reasonable instrument to eliminate them altogether".
Mark Strutt added,
"Byker and Edmonton could be just the tip of the toxic iceberg. This clandestine mixing of highly toxic ash is only one of the many problems burning rubbish creates. The tragedy is that there is no need to be creating toxic gases and ashes. Recycling and composting cuts the amount of rubbish in landfill more effectively than burning it, as well creating jobs and improving our environment."

Limbaugh Accuses Obama Of Launching "Pearl Harbor Day Number Two: The Attack On The Country By The President"
Video ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
From the December 7 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show:
Loading the player reg...
LIMBAUGH: When is this? It's Wednesday. It's a Wednesday. Right. OK. Pearl Harbor Day. In infamy. The day that will live in infamy. Absolutely right. Pearl Harbor Day.
Of course yesterday was Pearl Harbor Day number two: the attack on the country by the president of the United States in that speech in Osawatomie, Kansas.
We -- as I promised yesterday, we have the audio sound bites from that speech. I've studied it. It's depressing. It's just depressing to actually have the most powerful man in the country aligned against it; to have the most powerful man in the country seeing this country through crosshairs.
It is -- it is -- well, I run the gamut of emotions. I mean, it's anger, frustration, sadness. It's just amazing.

text: Downton Abbey Series 4 Episode 7 3rd November 2013 The Dowager Countess is at the mercy of Cousin Isobel, Mary is cooking and Edith's on her way to being accepted into SPAT (Single Parents Alone Together), says Clare BennettMary covered in mud. The Dowager at death's door. Edith expecting. Isis left in isolation. The Downton girls have taken a right hammering this week. Empire State of Mind Lord Grantham does not like America. He does not like his brother-in-law, Harold, and he does not like having to leave Isis to go and bail the loser out of his latest scrape. He'll just miss her so much. Oh, and, you know, the other lot - those women. Wife, daughters etc. At least Thomas is excited about going to the USA in place of Bates. Hopefully he'll have time to visit the Friends building or see Cousin Matthew in that play on Broadway.The Tamworth Two Mr Blake might have called Mary 'aloof' and accused her of being a spoilt, pointless aristocrat who expects everything on a plate, but it turns out he's not a complete tosser after all. Nothing impresses a girl more than a man who's good with pigs, so leaping into the pen of the new Tamworths to save its dehydrated occupants and then deliberately flicking mud in Mary's face was the turning point in their relationship that we've all been waiting for. Mary was so impressed she even made him scrambled eggs afterwards. Mary. On her own. That actually happened.SPAT membership application Edith is all over the shop. Should she keep the baby and end up as one of 'those' women forced to live somewhere ghastly like Maida Vale or not keep the baby and be wretched for the rest of her life? Single motherhood it is - and now Aunt Rosamund, who has turned out to be a total rock, can help Edith fill in her SPAT (Single Parents Alone Together) application before submitting it to the committee aka Mary, Branson and Cousin Isobel. Hopefully they won't find Michael, or if they do, he'll be dead because then she'll definitely get in.I'm your number one fan There was a severe tremor in The Force when the Dowager Countess started coughing in this episode and I feel I speak for the nation when I say if ANYTHING happens to her, a state of national emergency will be declared. Delirious with bronchitis, the Dowager found herself at the mercy of Cousin Isobel, like James Caan in Misery. Fortunately she didn't get her ankles bludgeoned with a sledgehammer, but was subjected to her talking endlessly 'like a drunken vicar'. It was fine in the end. They ended up playing Gin, which is frightfully good fun, even if you've just emerged from 48 hours with one foot in Abraham's bosom. In other news Ivy and Daisy have gone all Monica and Brandy 'The Boy Is Mine' over Alfred. Rose has been messing about in boats with Mr Ross. Mary's favourite suitor, Lord Gillingham, is visiting - which means the vile Mr Green is also back. He couldn't give a toss that Mrs Hughes knows - but if that murderous look Bates gave him over supper is anything is anything to go by, I suspect Mr Green is going to end up with more than a Chinese burn in the final episode…Back to the Downton Abbey blog

Re: Double or single lifelines?
My point is, the stanchions will fail before the line does.

But the stuff is cheap and easy to splice, it's not like it takes 1/2 a day to change them out, or longer like it would w/ steel....
Also remember that the rated strength is for new line. As soon as it gets UV, weather, and chafe at the contact points, your actual tensile strength goes down.
Re: Double or single lifelines?
Yes, any line of any material is weakened if it's bent around a radius smaller than what is recommended. For instance, most rope manufacturers suggest an 8:1 ratio. So for 1/4" line you need a 2" sheave, thimble, whatever. I can tell you that you probably won't need to worry about it breaking. The stanchions will absorb a lot of the shock load.

But the stuff is cheap and easy to splice, it's not like it takes 1/2 a day to change them out, or longer like it would w/ steel.
I use spiderline for lashing. Dyneema core with poly cover. You can use "Lash-it" as well, but it's more expensive and doesn't hold knots as well. I would change out the lashing every year as cheap insurance. A mini spool is only $16.
Re: Double or single lifelines?
That might work. I guess I am not giving amsteel the credit it deserves. I seem to recall reading something a while back about the spliced eyes needing to be a certain size in order to not reduce the strength of the line (it was significantly weakened going around a small radius turn), is that still the case? If so then I guess I could just use a thimble.
Any suggestions for line for the lashings?
Re: Double or single lifelines?
So you have something like this
Attached to something like this but with just one 'tang'.
You could use a shackle as a cheap solution. 2.50 ea.
Or you could probably get away with using a sailmakers thimble depending on what size line you wanted. Might get you down to $1.50 ea. if you shop around. I think at that point your splitting hairs though.
Consult a rigger, they'll be able to help you. Lots of solutions to this. As for the zigzag line, no worries. I'm using spiderline as my 'netting' and dyneema lifelines, no real chafe to speak of. 3 years going. I have replaced the spiderline though. This boat is raced hard, had one crew (200 lbs 6'-2") hit them full force, driving a stanchion on the pullpit into and through the deck. But the lifeline and lashing held just fine.
Sails get lashed down, people hang on them, tie fenders to them, etc. They hold up a lot better than you think.

I'm singlehanded usually, and as such, theres not anyone whose gonna help me back in the boat- I still prefer going without however- except at anchor- when i sortof think of them as a way to repel boarders... basically if the gate is open, come on up- if not- enter at your own risk. haha totally ineffective but a nice psychological boost either way. Go with your heart on this one- if your scared of going overboard it wont be very fun sailing
Re: Double or single lifelines?
Right now i have single life lines but when i replace the top one i plan on adding a lower one not for holding on but more for tieing stuff up and securing it on deck.
Re: Double or single lifelines?
Very similar to ours with the stanchions on the toe rails. Great for room going forward and not worring about soft spots in the decks where the bases are. Hell for docking and the pilings above the dock
I have great confidence in replcing my wire to rope halyards with all rope. I dont have the same with lifelines which are subject to constant sun and wet waves as lasting as long. I have seen a fishook in a bare wire lifeline scissor a joib in two seconds.
The difference in price is not that much. Both will give you the safty you want.
Decide which looks better and which you can adjust the easiest as you will need to do that.
Re: Double or single lifelines?
Maybe this will work better...http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...K/P1010966.jpg
Not set on wire, my first thought actually was to go to a line system but when I priced up all the bits there wasn't much in it. I can't just lash to a nice eye fitting on my push/pulpits as there isn't one, hence fittings of some sort whichever way I go. I also have a ^^^^^ thing around my lifelines along the foredeck to keep my foresail onboard, that isn't going to work with line lifelines without extra chafe protection (or is it?).
I'm looking for good feedback on either route, I just want to make sure I go the best one
Re: Double or single lifelines?
All I get is a red X.
Johnson makes hardware, did they spcify why it should be replaced every 3 years? Synthetic line has come a long way since SK60 was introduced. They coat the lines with a UV blocker and it holds up very well in sunlight. I would suggest every 5 years unless there's chafe issues, and that's only b/c there hasn't been more data available.
By the time you add in your gate and other fittings for wire, you'll still be cheaper using synthetic. More importantly, it's easier, and faster to make repairs, not to mention lighter.
But it sounds like you're set on wire. For me, I'll never put wire lifelines on a boat again. Just not worth it. The catamaran I did we put in pelican hooks and other fittings to drop both sets of lifelines.

Opener Shane Watson says tired legs inspired the history-making explosion of big-hitting which carried him to Australia's highest individual score in one-day international cricket.
Watson blasted an unbeaten 185 off 96 balls, as Australia chased down a target of 230 with 24 overs and nine wickets to spare against Bangladesh in Dhaka yesterday.
His 15 sixes were the most by any player in an innings, as was his 150 runs in boundaries, which also included 15 fours. Watson's percentage of his team's score (79.7 per cent) of 1-232 was also the highest by any player in history, surpassing West Indian master blaster Viv Richards (69.48 per cent).
After posting his ton in 69 balls – the third-fastest by an Australian – he hit five more fours and nine more sixes, including four in succession off left-arm spinner Suhrawadi Shuvo.
The all-rounder said the motivation for his unprecedented hitting spree was simple.
"I got to a point where I got pretty tired, it was hot and humid out there so I didn't really want to have to run too much," he said.
That also explained why his spectacular display of brutality with the bat built to a crescendo – with four sixes and two fours in his last 10 balls faced.
"I was either going to try to hit as many sixes as I could, or get out, because I was pretty tired, that was as simple as it was," Watson said.
The last of his sixes took him past Matthew Hayden's previous Australian scoring record of 181 not out, and former captain Ricky Ponting hit the winning runs two balls later.
Watson's onslaught began immediately the innings started, hitting 53 of his 62-run opening stand with Brad Haddin (eight).
He then scored 132 of his 170-run unbroken partnership with Ponting (37 from 42 balls), who was happy to be completely overshadowed.
"It made my job easy, I just had to get a single to give him strike," Ponting said. "This was an amazing innings. Some of those sixes would have cleared any boundary in the world. It probably won't sink into us for a while how good that was."
Earlier, Mitchell Johnson took three wickets as Bangladesh made what seemed a competitive 7-229. Australia dropped out-of-form batsman Cameron White, replaced by Callum Ferguson, but it proved irrelevant as Watson's heroics meant Ferguson did not get to bat.
Australia lead the series 2-0, with the final game tomorrow.
Threshing machine
Shane Watson's history-making stats
185 not out from 96 balls: highest ODI score by an Australian.
15 sixes: the most by any player.
79.7 per cent of team score: the greatest by any player.
150 in boundaries (15 fours, 15 sixes): the most by any player.
69 balls to bring up century: the third-fastest by an Australian.

Switech Apex Ultra & MCW60 Review
In computing we have many cooling options. Air, water and phase change being the most common in the enthusiast arena. Today we will be looking at a top grade kit from Swiftech and comparing it to a similarly configured kit from the competition and see if there is a clear winner or loser.
You can read the review here and discuss it here.
Damn thats one bad ass WC kit and it looks like it goes great with a TT case like the Armor or Kandalf. Great read.
Hey now that's a nice wc kit! Even the high and mighty Danger Den fell to it's powah! :D
Swiftech has done very well with their water cooling setups. I guess you pay for performance though. The $260 price tag is a tad much to me, but definitely on par with DD's kits. Speaking of, what's the plans for the previous components?
The D.D. kit belongs to Vince who was kind enough to allow me to use his PC as a testbed.
The $260 is the kit itself, the MCW60's tip the scales at $63.00 each but they do include $19.95 worth of ramsinks with each one so that offsets the price back to $44.00 for the block alone. Which you can get them sans ramsinks.
Thanks for the kind words guys, this was a bugbear of a review.
Good read ....:D Glad to see more people liking the Swiftech stuff, I'm a huge fan of Swiftechs parts if you couldn't tell already.............:eek:
Swiftech might not be as pretty as Danger Den (no plexi tops) but I've also found that Swiftech products come with eveything you could ever need to install the kit and their mounting method takes all the guess work out of the install.
Strange that you didn't get both sets of barbs with the kit though, I got both with tne APEX kit when it first came out.
The only 3/8" barbs I got were with the MCW60's. None with the kit itself. You do know why Swiftech will never have plexi tops as long as Gabe's there don't you?
I haven't really asked, but I would expect because they do crack from time to time. But other than that, I have no idea...........:)
Gabe says that milling acrylic causes weakening and it's just a matter of time until those weak spots will fail. He doesn't want to have failures with his product line.
Machined Delrin doesn't have that problem so that's why they use Acetal for the Storm. Now that's a block I'd like to get my hands on :)
I've got a original version of the Storm, but I don't use it anymore. With multi blocks in the loop, I get better temps with the APOGEE/MCW60 combo than I did with the Storm/MCW60 combo. Granted it's not large differance, but it is measreable. The version 2 of the Storm isn't as restrictive as the frist, so maybe it will improve performance in a multi block loop.

Part 3
The story gets worse.
In October I bring my car to Lehighton Ford in Pennsylvania. The car is still very twitching when driving and is very sensitive to road conditions. Throughout this entire time I am in touch with Ford reps on this site and the Regional Customer Service Manager (all who keep changing).
Lehighton Ford test drives the car and finds everything normal. I tell them to put it on the alignment rack, which they inform me I will have to pay for. I agree. They put it on the rack and guess what!
Here is a photo of the printout they gave me after correcting the alignment:
They send me on my merry way and the car feels ever so slightly better, but still very twitchy. I also notice the steering wheel is slightly crooked. A month later I bring my car back to them for my first time using my newly acquired basic maintenance plan. They changed the oil, rotated the tires, put on new windshield wipers, and also corrected my low windshield wiper fluid warning message which did not come up when I ran out of fluid. They also corrected my steering wheel.
Now it is in december and I cannot take the steering any longer. I take the car to Premier Ford in Brooklyn where I test drive the car with a tech who drives it, and tells me "it is perfect." He tells me though that electric steering sucks and that he hates it. He will avoid buying a car with it as long as possible because electric steering is very "road sensitive." I tell him how besides the highway wander, with my first steering rack, it did not drive this way. At low speeds it held the road perfectly and I was able to keep the car going straight with ONE FINGER. He is simply baffled.
I am sent on my way with no work done.
I Finally do what I probably should have done in the first place, I brought it back to Dana Ford 2 weeks later. Once again, I am in contact with the regional customer service manager, Cynthia. Dana Ford sends me on a test drive with a technician who is driving the car. He says everything is normal, but will put it on the alignment rack to make sure. GUESS WHAT? THE ALIGNMENT IS OFF AGAIN! They let me see the computer screen as my car is on the rack, and yes, it was off.
The service manager out of "good faith" does the alignment for free. The car now actually drives SIGNIFICANTLY better than before. I can now control it with 1 hand for the most part, although it still moves left and right more than any car I have ever driven. It still takes a lot of focus to drive straight, but is much better than before.
I try to live with this problem until 2 and a half weeks ago. I once again get in touch with the Regional rep and tell them I am bringing it back to Dana Ford for them to check again. So I do, and they find nothing wrong even after putting it on the alignment machine again.

When the late Dr. Daniel Stechschulte Sr. founded Internal Medicine's division of Allergy, Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology in 1973, he grouped two distinctly different medical specialties under one roof. Generally speaking, while training programs for Allergy/Clinical Immunology are separate from those of Rheumatology, they share a common foundation — the science of immunology — so doctors can elect to be dually certified.
Now, division director Dr. Mehrdad Maz heads the Rheumatology fellowship program, while Dr. John Martinez oversees the training of Allergy/Clinical Immunology fellows. Having a full-time director for each program has allowed education to be emphasized as much as clinical service.
"We've organized more didactic conferences, including one on the basic science of immunology. From medical school to specialty training, there's a five-year gap where fellows haven't had many opportunities to open a basic immunology textbook," Dr. Martinez explains. "There's also so much to learn about the clinical aspects — taking care of hay fever, asthma, hives — that it's easy to shortchange basic science, which is still important in helping our fellows understand and correctly utilize new advances and therapies that are being devised."
A longer-term goal for Dr. Maz is to develop subspecialty clinics within the division. Each clinic will handle a specific disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis, vasculitis, scleroderma, spondyloarthropathy and lupus. "This will allow for a standardized way of managing our patients; we'll be able to provide effective treatment protocols sooner and enroll them in the right clinical trials," he says. "It's about being able to cater to specific complex diseases that are really manageable in an academic medical setting. First, though, we'll need to recruit faculty with expertise in particular areas of allergy or rheumatology."
In a similar vein to his long-term goal of organizing subspecialty clinics, Dr. Maz has plans to expand clinical trials and investigator-initiated studies within the division. "I'd like to involve more faculty and cover diseases beyond RA. The plan is to build a centralized research arm that includes, among many things, additional study coordinators shared by all our faculty. We hope this will happen within the next few years."

If you sit through any Forrester presentation--and here in Las Vegas, for the IT Forum, you can hear lots of them--you'll hear something about the transition from information technology (IT) to business technology (BT). No longer can technology vendors "fire and forget" technology, under the assumption that their clients will figure out the business case for it. Immediate, tangible benefit is increasingly important in product design and product marketing.
IT Forum is a good opportunity to further measure this trend. When you spend a few days shoulder-to-shoulder with clients, vendors, and fellow analysts, you get a lot of pings on the BT sonar. For example:

Trade Usage in the Courts: The Flawed Conceptual and Evidentiary Basis of Article 2's Incorporation Strategy
This paper draws on an empirical study of every trade usage case decided under the Uniform Commercial Code from 1970 to 2007 to revisit the debate over the desirability of the incorporation strategy, the interpretive approach that directs courts to look to course of dealing, course of performance and usage of trade to interpret contracts and fill contractual gaps. Although the strategy is generally defended on the grounds that it will reduce specification costs without unduly increasing interpretive error costs, the data presented in the paper show that the assumptions on which this defense is based are empirically false. The paper then draws on the data about the way incorporation really works in practice to explore the reasons that the conceptual basis of the arguments for incorporating trade usage are also deeply flawed, particularly when applied to contracts between large multi-agent firms in the modern outsourced economy.

Today Is Florida Taxpayer Independence Day
Today is Florida Taxpayer Independence Day - the day when, mathematically, we'll actually start keeping the money we earn instead of giving it to the government through taxes.
Florida Tax Watch says it took 111 days to pay our tax burden this year, three days more than last year. The organization chalks that up to increasing federal taxes.
The group also says Floridians will pay more than $250 billion in federal, state, and local taxes this year, $18 billion more than last year. In their estimation, taxes comprise the largest portion of per-day spending for Americans, more than food, housing, and clothing combined.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|painted jester
I see your in good hands with bogie & daddy It saves me from typing
|cool rockin daddy
In addition to what Bogie said, you don't have to worry too much about numbers matching on a '80 Vette. Dime a dozen, poor performers, not a lot of demand. You probably got a great deal on it because of those very factors.
Doesn't matter how much it was decked. I would pull a head and see how far down the hole the pistons are, that's the important dimension. Mount your aftermarket heads but do the math and figure out what gasket thickness to give you a good quench. Follow the head manufacturer's guidelines for how long a push rod to use with their heads and you're golden.
Zero decking would not affect valve springs, however, a valve job that cut new seats into the head and onto the valve makes the valve stem tip sit higher (sinks the valve into the seat and the seat into the pocket) which lengthens the spring's installed height which reduces its installed pressure, to restore this a shim is often used under the spring to return it to the nominal compressed length when the valve is closed. What zero decking does is to change the distance between the cam and lifter to the rocker arm to less than designed which is the pushrod lenght. Though this usually isn't so much of a distance change that the pushrod length needs adjusting to restore proper rocker arm geometry between it and the valve stem. But it's always good practice to check.
In terms of telling how much of the deck has been removed, there would be no way of telling without at least pulling a head and even then it isn't a guarantee.The reason is that there are rebuilder pistons out there that from the pin center to the crown edge are .020 to .025 inch shorter than the the 1.56 OEM production down to 1.54 inch. This restores the factory clearance to the deck and with that the factory compression with the OEM head. So you can find a zero decked block that measures the factory piston to deck clearance because of this.
The downside of your block being decked is that even though the casting codes may be period correct, there is no way to prove that this is a numbers matching situation where the engine is native with the chassis rather than just loosely related to it. The lack of receipts is not a good thing both in that regard and in the fact that you have to take what's been done on faith. Getting more power out of a 1980 350 whether a 'vette or a pick up is hardly difficult, those engines were so anemic from the factory that the simple act of boring and milling with the other standard machine shop restorative procedures will substantially improve their power output by accident of renovation of the dimensions giving more displacement and compression. Add to that a little cam and it feels like you've bought a real race car.
|painted jester
When you mentioned shims in one statement did you mean shim head gaskets to get valve clearance, and in the other statement just mentioned spring shims. I might have read that out of context? and thought you mentioned valve spring shims to get valve clearance?
Any way a lot of machine Shops (the good ones) will stamp the deck ( mark it)!! When you clean the deck look for the marks like .004 or .010 etc if its not marked do like doublevision said and look it up there are a lot of good tech articles that cover this and would save us a lot of typing I type really slow and hate long answers!!! Theres probably a thread already on hotrodders covering this, do a search!
|Shims were used to keep the valves from kissing a piston? Thanks! I'll be laughing about that one for days. There has to be a thousand blocks produced that year that were "period correct" and carried the same identical markings, corvettes didn't get anything unique that made them one of a kind or special blocks. I could tell you how to tell how much it's been decked but I'm not going to bother since you want to get smart about it. Your placing the duh on me and your the one asking the question genius. You could go to google and get the answers your after.
|Silver Surfer
*gets popcorn*
This thread is winning.
|Well Duh!!!!!!! Yea the its been milled off but the other codes are period correct for a Vette. Since material was removed you would assume that the shims were to get the proper clearance to keep the valves from striking the top of the pistons. I mean I know its been a lot of years since I did a motor but I dont think Ive forgotten everything. He had misplaced the receipts where he had the motor work done. Had a new crank, cam, rods and pistons put in it when it was done and what sounds and feels to be a pretty hefty cam. Im just looking at aftermarket heads and intake and was wondering if anyone could tell me how to measure how much had been removed when it was decked. That much I,ve forgotten..............
What do you mean by how can you tell? Tell what? How much it was decked?
How many performance parts were used? You said the block is original, original according to the owner? If the block has been decked then the suffix code was milled off when the block was decked so there is no way to verify if it's the original engine.
If you plan to add aftermarket heads why are you concerned with the springs on the stock heads?
PreviouslyDecked block 1980 Chevy 350
recently bought a 1980 corvette with the original 350 but has had the block decked and owner did not know how much was done. How can I tell I want to add after market heads and intake. He did state the springs on the stock heads had been shimmed

The Effects of Age and Political Exposure on the Development of Party Identification Among Asian American and Latino Immigrants in the United States

This article seeks to understand the development of partisanship among the largest of contemporary immigrant groups, Asian Americans and Latinos. Identifying the processes that underlie the acquisition of partisanship is often complicated because the associated concepts are not easily isolated from one another. In particular, among those born in the U.S., distinguishing between the separate effects of age and political exposure on partisan development is especially difficult since age usually serves as an exact measure of exposure to the political system and vice versa. Because immigrants' length of residence does not correspond directly to their age, tracking the acquisition of party identification represents one way to untangle the effects of age and exposure on partisanship. A strong relationship between the number of years an immigrant has lived in the U.S. and the acquisition of partisanship is found. Further analysis shows that naturalization, gains in English language skills, and media use also contribute to immigrants' acquisition of partisanship. This study reveals that a process of reinforcement through exposure to the political system underlies the development of political attitudes across diverse immigrant groups.

Choosing a Name and a Lawyer for your Baby
It's official: Jacob and Sophia are America's most popular baby names. Once you've settled on a name for your new bundle of joy, it's not too early to make legal preparations as your child enters the world.
Top 10 boys and girls names:
Jacob has been the No. 1 boy's name for 13 years, according to the Social Security Administration, which released the list of top baby names for 2011. Sophia knocked Isabella to No. 2 after a two-year stint at the top of the list for girls.
If you have a young child in your home, it's already time to start thinking about estate-planning issues to protect your newborn. Following are the five most common estate-planning mistakes that parents make after having a baby.
5. Not putting enough thought into life insurance. Life insurance is designed to provide financial support for your family after you die. A key question to ask when deciding whether and how much life insurance to purchase is, "How many people depend on me for financial support?" Someone who's single with no children may not need any life insurance or just enough to pay for funeral expenses. But a parent who works, perhaps supporting a stay-at-home spouse and children, may need a much larger life insurance policy. New parents without life insurance policies will want to consider purchasing a new policy and those who already have life insurance may want to adjust the size of the policy.
4. Not making financial gifts to your child. By law, you can give a gift of up to $13,000 a year to your child—and to anyone else. Your spouse can also give a $13,000 gift to your children, too, all without being taxed on the transfer of assets. In total, you can gift up to $5 million in the course of your lifetime without paying taxes. The end result: If you have a large estate, it will significantly reduce your estate taxes after you die.
3. Not considering whether to set up a trust for your children. A "trust" is a legal entity that can hold onto and manage money and other assets for children until a particular time in the future. There are several varieties of trusts. A section 2503(c) Minor's Trust, for example, can hold the tax-free gifts you make for your child until the child turns 21, at which point they'd gain control of the money. Alternatively, in your last will and testament, you can instruct your executor to set up a trust for the benefit of your children. This enables you to appoint a trustee to manage the money and distribute it to your children at predetermined points in time so they don't squander their inheritance.
2. Not naming a legal guardian. No parent wants to imagine that they'll die while their children are still young. But it does happen. All parents of minor children need to prepare for the worst-case scenario and name legal guardians who will take responsibility for raising their children if they die. Although a judge will have to confirm your choice of a guardian, a parent's express wishes are usually honored. Realize that naming a guardian isn't a popularity contest, and although some people may have their feelings hurt, you want to name as guardian the person or people you think will do the best job.
1. Not updating your last will and testament. As soon as possible, every new parent should update their will to reflect the addition of a new family member. Unfortunately, many parents procrastinate, sometimes with serious repercussions. Take, for example, the headline-grabbing situation of Anna Nicole Smith, who gave birth to a baby daughter and lost her son to a drug overdose shortly before she, too, died of a drug overdose. She was survived by her infant daughter and left a last will and testament that hadn't been updated since she gave birth. The will specifically excluded any children other than her son, and resulted in a drawn-out court case before her daughter's inheritance was restored. Save your heirs the possible headache: Update your last will and testament as soon as possible after having a new baby.
Your parents probably didn't make legal preparations for you as a kid, but it can make smart legal choices for your own family. Read here to find out more when you welcome a new child.

Microsoft Office 2007 ImplementationThe Desktop Support Program (DSP) will be installing Office 2007 on all customer computers beginning in February 2010. A pilot group of customers will receive Office 2007 first, followed by other groups on a department-by-department basis. Departments may submit a request to transfer to Office 2007 earlier if they wish to do so.
While growing accustomed to new programs is sometimes difficult, there are many advantages to using Office 2007. To read more about new features and training options, please visit http://www.cmu.edu/computing/repair/dsp/office2007.html.
Your DSP consultant will be in touch with your department to plan the transition process and can offer advice on training possibilities. For more information on this upgrade, please contact DSP at firstname.lastname@example.com.

OTIS was so much easier! Damn those bastards! You fought the good fight over that one - and as I remember, it was one of the first domain-name battles online.
I think it's cool that it actually means something in Italian (something even related to the net) and I'll not call it SIT-OH again!
SEA-TOE it is from now until somebody else sues!
Take care
