This is what you'll receive:
1x big red bush (in the large bracket that holds the gearlever shaft)
4x hard plastic bushes (only 2 needed, for bracket bolted to the gearbox)
2x big clear soft rubbery bushes (for the relay shaft)
2x small white soft rubbery bushes (for the ends of the shift rod)
2x rivets (un-needed, used for the red bush housing but no need to drill out old ones)
4x soft foamy washers (used on the short & long link rod ball joints)
Its also worth buying an uprated relay shaft bush from:
Will improve the forward back feel a great deal =)
Ok pop the bonnet and this is what you'll see, note I've already fitted the weighted shift rod:
Remove the header tank and place it out of the way, this gives you loads of room to work in. Pre 90 spec ones are just slotted into the bracket, 90 spec ones are held on with 2 bolts/studs under the black plastic trim bit. Don't forget to disconnect the level sensor if one is fitted!
The short & long rods with the plastic end caps have little clips to clamp the ends, carefully unclip these, I snapped one off and had to make an emergency visit to the scrappy! Both rods should then pop off with a little persuasion.
Lever the spring clips out of the metal shift rod and remove, make sure these don't ping off & disappear!
Undo the 13mm nut on top of the relay shaft, and remove the large metal arm.
Loosen the 13mm pinch nut & bolt on the clamp on the gearlever shaft bracket, until it can be removed (you might want to mark its position but Chances are the alignment will be out after refitting all the bushes anyway!)
Remove the 3 13mm bolts holding the relay shaft bracket to the steering rack, and remove. This is tricky, you have to wiggle the bracket about whilst holding the gearlever shaft as far back as it will go, there is only just enough clearance!
Your engine bay will now look like this (note 2 of the gearbox linkage bracket bolts are circled):
Now you have 2 choices, either remove the bracket bolted to the gearbox, or just unbolt the lever from the bracket. If you wish to change the gearbox it would be a good plan to do it at the same time as the only way to do it is to remove the linkage bracket. It also makes it easier to fit the replacement bushes and refit the lever, plus you can clean it up nice :smiley:
To remove the bracket:
Undo the large bolt through the middle of the gearbox mount.
Jack the gearbox up as far as possible, go slowly as the clutch arm will hit the inner wing.
Remove the bolts holding the linkage to the gearbox and it should slide out nicely
If you want to replace the gearbox mount, there are 2 smaller bolts holding the gearbox mount in the subframe, remove these and you'll have JUST enough clearance to remove it and swap in the new one.
To remove the lever from the bracket:
Simply remove the 13mm nut & bolt and the lever will slide off :smiley:
Ok now you'll have a pile of linkage bits on your workbench, after cleaning em up with a wire brush you'll have something like this:
(notice I forgot to put the small plastic linkage and the lever mentioned above in the pic)
It should now be pretty obvious which bushes go where, if you are unsure I've listed the locations above. The tricky one is the big red bush but it is possible to rip the old one out and fit the replacement without drilling out the rivets, put it in a tub of warm water first to make it a wee bit more flexible. Then as the red book says, re-assembly is the reverse of removal, make sure you grease up the moving parts while you put it all back together :smiley:
Now to set up the alignment, dave2227 sells the alignment tool on ebay to make the job easy:
Also heres a link to an engineers diagram of the tool, so you can get it made yourself:
But being a tight Northerner I just used an old cassette tape held in the gap between the reverse gate & lockout lever with duck tape! Make sure you do the pinch bolt up tight, I made the mistake (twice!!) of not doing it up enough and lost all my gears a day or so afterwards as a result :grin:
Job done:

PSD Activities in Response to NRC Report
July 10, 2007
In response to recommendations made in the recently published National Research Council (NRC) report on "NOAA's Role in Space-Based Global Precipitation," Timothy Schneider of NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory, Physical Sciences Division (PSD) participated in a high level NOAA – NASA meeting at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center on July 2, 2007. The purpose of this meeting was to initiate a collaboration between the NOAA Hydrometeorological Testbed (HMT) program and the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission. Joining Mr. Schneider from NOAA, was Ralph Ferraro, National Environmental Satellite Data and Information Service (NESDIS) as well as Pedro Restrepo and David Kitzmiller from the National Weather Service, Office of Hydrologic Development (OHD). An outcome of this meeting is a NOAA-hosted workshop on HMT and GPM to be held in the Fall of 2007, in Silver Spring, MD. In a closely related effort, Christopher Williams of PSD was awarded one of the four NOAA proposals accepted for funding by NASA's Precipitation Measurement Missions (PMM) – the parent program of GPM. His project will retrieve and analyze raindrop size distributions (DSDs) from several years of profiler observations in Australia and California (using HMT data). The result will be tens-of-thousands of case studies in Tropical and mid-latitude rain regimes that will lead to parameterizations needed to reduce the errors in current and future precipitation satellite algorithms.
The NRC report focuses on advancing rainfall measuring capabilities, and improving climate modeling and forecasting through the upcoming joint NOAA – NASA GPM satellite program. GPM is the next generation satellite program replacing the current Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM). HMT will collaborate with GPM by performing ground validation through its established, high density observational networks and focused modeling studies.
By comparing HMT gap-filling radar data with GPM satellite data, forecasting models can be improved to provide more accurate and detailed information to forecast users. These activities support NOAA's mission goal of serving society's needs for weather and water information.

*This is Part 2 of the Home Canning Series, go here to read Part 1: Getting Started.*
Now that we have went over the 2 different methods to canning, and you know what type of canner you will need for what you are canning–lets take a look at the other supplies that you may need.
Supplies Needed for Home Canning
Food to be Canned
Before you begin, make sure that you have your food all ready to go. The amount of preperation all depends on what exactly you are canning.
Recipe and Recent Canning Guide.
This part is very important. The whole reason you have to process the jars in the first place is to rid them of any bacteria that might be present. Different foods require different processing times/methods and they have changed over time–that is why you need a recent canning guide. I highly recommend Ball's Blue Book to Preserving.
These can be used or new. The only thing to watch out for when buying used ones are nicks and cracks. You can not use those! We use mostly quarts for our vegetables, pickles and spagetti sauce, so we need more of these than pints and half pints. The only thing we really use those for are salsa and jams/jellies. The half pints are tiny, but make great gifts when filled with homemade jelly!
These go on top of your jars to seal them. The lid goes directly on the top of your jar, and the rings screws onto the jar to hold the lid in place while you are processing them. You can re-use your rings year to year as long as they are not corroded or rusted. Once your lid has been used and sealed on a jar, you can not reuse it again. They will not seal properly the second time.
Silicone Oven Mitt or Jar Lifter
While I probably shouldn't openly promote a Silicone Oven Mitt for removing the jars from the canner, I will say that it worked perfectly for me. All I had to do was put it on and reach into the canner and pull out my jars. I obviously had to use caution when doing so, but it was all I had and I wasn't going to go out and buy a new fangled gadget just because. But then, my husband bought me a Jar Lifter for Christmas. I've only used it when I canned jalapenos a few weeks ago, but I liked it. You reach it in the canner and grab onto the jar, close it and pull the jar out. Easy as that.
Plastic Utensil
I use the handle of a plastic spoon or spatula. After you fill up the jars with your product, you have to remove all of the air bubbles before you place on the lids/rings. You cannot use a metal utensil because it could nick/crack the side of the jar.
Food Mill or a Food Processor
I actually didn't have any of these last year, but it sure would have made things easier and less time consuming. My hubby really came to the rescue this year at Christmas–because I got both. I have yet to use the food mill, but I use my food processor multiple times a week. For things like Apple Butter–it makes the process so much easier!
Everything you can has a different length of processing time, and sometimes it can be an hour. Your timer will become your friend.
Sharpie or Labels
It is always a good idea to atleast write the date you canned the item on it. For my personal pantry I just use a Sharpie on the lid since it cannot be reused anyway. But when giving as a gift, you can use labels that you print off your computer that have the date canned as well as the contents.
Dry Towel
When you remove your newly processed jars from the canner, you need to place them on a dry towel to cool.
Storage Spot
Home canned goods are best if stored in cool, dark places since sunlight/heat can diminsh the nutritional value. They can be stored for a year, if canned correctly, without losing any quality/nutritional value. You can use them after a years time, just inspect the jars to make sure that the contents haven't changed colors and the seal hasn't broken.
Especially the first time. Until you get the hang of it, it may take you some time to do the process from start to finish. Don't let this discourage you! Just make sure that when you decide to can, that you set aside an entire day and don't rush yourself. You want to make sure that you do it right. Cutting corners trying to save time isn't going to get you anywhere in the end.
Some of these things you may already have in your kitchen–and the rest is a one time investment so don't let the list scare you away! Once you have your supplies, you will have them forever unless you choose to get rid of them. A one time investment to be able to have fresh, preservative free, home canned goods catered to my family's taste sounds like a plan to me!
**Be sure to also check out the guest post I did for Eat at Home that talks about some of the other reasons why I choose to can my own food.

Pass the Cup: Penguins edge Red Wings for 3rd NHL championship
DETROIT — Kids, they grow up so fast.
The young Penguins grew into champions Friday night.
Playing mostly without 21-year-old captain Sidney Crosby, they dethroned the veteran Detroit Red Wings at Joe Louis Arena with a 2-1 victory to claim the Stanley Cup.
After falling into a 2-0 hole in the best-of-seven Final, the Penguins took four of five against the defending champions.
"I didn't know, coming into my first year, how quick we were going to be able to establish ourselves as a solid team in the NHL," said Crosby, the youngest captain in league history to win the Cup. "We proved pretty quickly that we wanted to make an impact as early as we could."
Forward Max Talbot and goalie Marc-Andre Fleury made the most impact last night.
Talbot scored twice, and Fleury stopped 22 shots to help deliver the Cup to Pittsburgh for a third time, and the first since 1992.
Fleury capped a frantic final minute by making a diving stop on Red Wings defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom's shot right before time expired.
"You've got to make those big ones if you want to be a champion," Fleury said. "That was a big one — the biggest of my life."
After the Red Wings pulled within 2-1 late in the third period, Talbot, whose two goals were scored in the second, eased any tension Fleury may have been feeling.
"I told him I still had the winner; do it for me," said Talbot, who then joked about his nickname, "Bad Hands."
Lidstrom's take on Fleury's Cup-saving stop: "The puck squared out to me, and it was either their (defensemen) or their forward came diving out toward me, and the goalie did the same thing. He pulled across, and I think I hit him in the chest."
Crosby's left knee was injured 5:30 into the second period on a collision with Detroit winger Johan Franzen. No penalty was called. Crosby did not return until 10:25 of the final period — and only for a brief stint.
Playing without their captain didn't faze the Penguins, who became the first NHL team since the 1971 Montreal Canadiens to win Game 7 of the last series on the road.
"We've faced more adversity than that," defenseman Rob Scuderi said. "It was tough for Sid, obviously, but we were confident. It wasn't going to faze us.
"We weren't going to be denied."
Not again, anyway.
The Red Wings beat the Penguins in a six-game Final last year.
The Penguins, though, are the first team since the 1984 Edmonton Oilers to win a Final rematch against a team that bested them the previous season.
"This is why I stayed, to play in games like this," defenseman Brooks Orpik said. "I knew we had a team that would win games like this."
Looking back, it is easy to see why Orpik was so confident.
Crosby led all players with 15 playoff goals. Fellow center Evgeni Malkin paced the postseason with 36 points to earn the Conn Smythe Trophy. Fleury closed out four opponents on their home ice.
None of those players is 25. Center Jordan Staal, two goals in the Final, is 20. Kris Letang, arguably the Penguins' best defenseman in the playoffs, is 21.
Talbot is 25.
Talbot led all players with four Final goals and finished the playoffs with eight. He scored 12 in 75 regular-season games.
After a scoreless first period, Talbot tallied early in the second to put the Penguins ahead at 1:13.
Crosby was injured soon after.
As he chased a loose puck in the neutral zone, Crosby was checked by Franzen, who pinned him against the boards with a knee-on-knee hit.
Penguins defenseman Hal Gill was penalized for holding the stick of Red Wings forward Pavel Datsyuk a couple of minutes after Crosby left the game. The Penguins killed that penalty and soon turned that momentum into a two-goal cushion.
Winger Chris Kunitz chipped a puck past an offensive-zone pinching Brad Stuart near the blue line. Talbot recovered and led a 2-on-1 with winger Tyler Kennedy.
Talbot opted not to pass, and catching Osgood leaning to his right, roofed a shot into the right corner of the net for a 2-0 lead at 10:07.
The Red Wings charged hard after that point, but did not score until defenseman Jonathan Ericsson's blast beat Fleury at 13:53 of the third period.
With just more than two minutes remaining, Red Wings defenseman Nicklas Kronwall hit the crossbar with a hard shot.
However, the Penguins held off a late rally by the Red Wings, who had an extra attacker with Osgood pulled.
"I can't say what I was thinking in that last minute," Orpik said. "I fell on the puck at the end, and there was six seconds left. It was a long six seconds.
"That save (Fleury) made at the end was the best I've ever seen him make."
That's the other thing about kids: They're unpredictable, and sometimes stubborn.

Wow, you replace a great shooting but defensive liability at PG with a better defender and a team starts winning.
Shhhh... nobody tell E.J.
-In reality I have no idea why the Raps have been winning. I haven't really been following them. But as usual the Sixers should have a good chance if the Raps miss their shots. The Raps are even more imbalanced against the Sixers because Sam usually does a great job denying Bosh's short range game and turns him into just another jump shooter (but a great one.)
I really hope EJ isn't planning on having Thad trying to lock down Bosh.
I'm sure Thad will be on Bargnani and Sam will be on Bosh, until he picks up two fouls in the first four minutes. Then it's Brand on Bosh, maybe Speights on Bargnani. However you slice it, I'm expecting a huge game from Bargnani with multiple threes.
Do you think we can swap Premo for Nesterovic while they are in town, all those big europians look alike anyway.
ES was made available to the press at 6. Would not say that EJ job is safe for the rest of the year. Is there actually hope we get rid of him this year?
Has anyone seen/heard what Stefanski had to say? I can't find anything yet.
just saw a couple of clips on the pregame show. Also a couple of quotes from T Moore on realgm.
Please, please, please...
I hope the Sixers lose by 30.
Philly feed in HD on League Pass. Special treat.
I love hearing Pinckney get everything wrong in his preview.
Donyell Marshalls "best starting 5"
He must be studying the EJ book of defense.
Oh my.
Best news of the night: Pacers playing the T-Wolves. Somebody has to win.
Usual, depressing starting lineup for the 76ers.
Here we go.
What do you think, quick start for Philly then a fade? Or fall behind early then fall short on the comeback?
Reggie Evans is street clothes tonight, still smiling and loving to be given a paycheck. For all of Reggie's offensive shortcomings, I LOVED his effort and attitude.
Did you love his defensive short comings?
No, but his offensive shortcomings were a full-time job.
Actually - offensive rebounding was ever his only positive ont he floor :)
Ugh, a walk, a brick and an airball from Thad early. Active on the defensive end, though.
This is a set defense and Lou Williams is on Bargnani on the blocks. How does that happen?
That was a goaltend by Sammy, Bargnani got the T, but he was right.
Even though that was an absolute goaltend, Sammy looks rejuvenated.
Bargnani just drove by Thad like he wasn't there. Awesome.
Sammy with a sweet outlet, sort of.
Dumb turnover by Lou. Pump fake with his man 7 feet away, then picks leaves his feet when he runs into two defenders.
AI and Thad have been really aggressive so far, and Thad's been off with AI looking sharp.
Kate Fagan has video of Stefanski up, watching now.
two minutes in, so far he's blaming the players. Will finish watching during commercials.
That squirrelly little ninny boy. So nervous. They need to harass him some more and force his hand.
"We work on defense every day at practice, we start with defense." - Well the garbage he's selling these guys is counter productive. Ayers isn't the problem, he's in charge of implementing the insane system Ej is running.
Sammy's doing a real nice job on Bosh so far, despite the foul there.
God, Thad need to grow a pair.
Sweet pass from AI9 to Thad there.
Looks like it's going to be a start fast and then fade kind of game Brian.
Yup, there's two on Sammy. Took 9 minutes.
It will be interesting to see if Jordan sticks with a 11 man rotation today, as to not give in to the media pressure.
I think there's a chance we could see some influence from Stefanski on the rotations in this game. Just from watching this press conference, he's pissed.
Wow, AI has been basically perfect on offense so far. Not on defense, but I'll take what I can get.
Speights first guy off the bench, no sign of Brand.
So EB has one bad game and he just gives up on him playing a lot?
Nice drive by young, Iverson playing really good and what a pass!!
Please get Thad's tail on the bench.
DeRozen is kind of going off.
Brand is in the doghouse, apparently. Green off the bench now, still no sign of EB.
Up by 9 after the first. 32-23, thanks in large part to Dalembert's defense and Iverson's offense.
Still no EB. No mention of it by Zum and Pinck either.
Iguodala looks tired or disinterested to me out there.
Terrible transition defense on two straight possessions. This lineup has one solid defender in the game.
Holiday and EB please!!
I may be wrong, but I can't find EB on the bench.
i didn't see him either.
Brand is now the 9th man, I guess. If he even gets in the game.
This is Eddie Jordan's defensive solution. Completely bench Brand and Jrue.
I think Jrue was checking in at the table.
Stomach virus for Brand, questionable now. I'd have a stomach ache if Jordan was my coach too.
I guess Jordan poisoned EB's food.
Rich you're not wrong. Still waiting to see him and Holyday.
Wow, what a waste of $80M. You have someone with Elton Brand's abilities and he's not even the 10th bench guy?
He's sick, apparently. Or he got traded.
Not when he has food poisoning - no
Getting to the line at will.
8 straight for AI9.
And stuffing the stat sheet as well, which a lot of people don't understand the value of.
Anyone getting sucked in?
Possible let-down for the Raps after the huge win at the Magic. Still, even if a team hands the Sixers a win, they just don't take it. Often they give it back.
Let's call this a let-down half.
We'll lose this game. If I had money, I'd lay it down
I'd take the Raptors -11 for the second half line. Easy money.
Even Willie is a night and day defensive improvement over Lou. That's sad.
Zumoff sounds shocked that Jrue is in Jack's jock. Does he not watch these games?
Let Rodney play instead of Thad. He gives you most everything TY does plus a made jumper.
+5 for Jrue, take a seat rookie. 5 minutes is enough for you.
Teddy's jumper is looking horrid. I just don't have the same faith in him that some fans have. I still don't understand why no one is working with him on putting the ball on the floor before he takes a step
I dont see Brand on the bench so maybe he has been traded but still they are no news
He's sick. They had a report on the game, stomach problems.
Loved Jrue's effort, as usual.
Does anyone think being exposed to Jordan on a day-to-day basis is actually able to make someone physically sick?
I'd believe it.
Watching him coach makes me sick.
I think not being given the chance to be appreciated by fans because some ass is holding you back would do it.
Zone, Sixers have no answer.
That was a bullshit call on Iguodala.
If Chris Bosh would do something with his hair I would appreciate him even more.
I don't know, he kind of looks like a dinosaur with that look. Keeps up the raptor theme.
Thats what my girlfriend says. Is your real name Kerrie?
just had a flashback to 2003 with that non-pass by ai... iverson could have been the all time nba assist leader with his ability to penetrate
Better get those bench ends some time in the second half to keep the offense afloat.
Can't wait for J. Smith to be the big off the bench instead of SP8s in the second half.
Jrue = +9 in the first half.
Sixers up by 11, 60-49.
that was flava falv with yeah boy hahaha I didn't heard that before
Speights making like Vintage AI!
Why Thad at 4 instead of Speights in the starting lineup? What a steal!
I bet Kapono sees meaningful minutes in this half.
Holiday better than Lou for the team effort.
Bleh, just finished the Stefanski video. He could've been a lot more forceful. Spent most of the time blaming the players, not the system. Did seem like he's stepped in a little bit to get the defense fixed. Sixers just allowed 26 points in the second quarter, but the defensive efficiency is probably decent for the half, just from looking at the box w/out doing any math.
Here's one that'll really piss you off:
Here's the stefanski video:
That interview was interesting. Like Fagan's direct questioning, who actually got him to refuse to commit to Jordan on the record.
He kept talking about 5-man and stuff. Nobody asked him how somebody can expect a lineup featuring AI, Lou & Thad to play defense, though
Yeah, it seemed like he wasn't taking follow-ups.
Let's go Raptors! Lets go 2nd half comeback! Fire Eddie Jordan!
Mckie, that guy says the right things. Thats what I want to hear from a coach
Better get Kapono on the exercise bike. Gonna need his offense soon to protect this lead.
Jack goes by Lou with no problem for an easy deuce.
better get Eddie Jordan. We hope he injuries himself like McMillan and we will not see him in the road games. :-)
There's the first three for TOR. 0/5 in the first half. Keep an eye on that number.
bosh sets pick and roll on lou and he switches?
See, wtf was Thad doing right there? Why sag off Bargs?
There's the second three.
Jarret Jack's eyes are lighting up. He's running all day on Lou.
AI's stroke looks GOOD.
Phew, they could've given that to Sammy, would've been his fourth.
Does that counts as a steal and turnover for AI?
Don't think so. Came down with his foot on the line, right?
Lead down to six. Need a sub here, and that sub should be Jrue for Lou.
Did you see that Lou and Thad were still behind half-court on that 8th chance rebound?
That is getting after it.
Ok guys here comes the big run.
Come on, Smith and Kapono here, let's see it!
Heh. 1-point dunk for Iguodala if they hit the T.
Zumoff called the hang on the rim "celebritory."
Thad just doesn't possess the proper skillsets. He doesn't have much in the repertoire as far as moves w/handles.
He can wow you but he also just sort of floats, like mentally.
I often why DiLeo gets so much credit for the last few picks. (especially when most of them can't play defense)
I know certain things can be taught, but that's a tough go of it in today's basketball age, what with AAU and playground etc.
Sixers shooting 8/10 this quarter, and the lead has shrunk.
I just wish a few of our guys could draw fouls like Iverson does and Miller did. We don't get to the line enough for my liking.
We can get to line but, the coach seems to be ok with us shooting jumpers. Everything about this guy is soft.
just FYI, Iguodala is getting to the line more this season than Miller ever did with the Sixers.
Just gonna take 3min. without scoring and we lose.
What a block by Dala. Man, but he waits too long for the break to develop and Thad gets a late pass and misses a bunny.
Great entry pass from Jrue to AI9.
don't trade AI9!
Don't like that three by Jrue. Bad possession.
starting to slip, bring in Kapona and Smith.
1-point game, folks. 31 points for TOR this quarter.
3-straight TOs.
Wheels are falling off fast... Thad the conductor of the train.
3 TO: 2 for Thad.
Iguodala is the best player on the floor in this game
Trade him now!
Shhh. He's overpaid and not a leader.
lol. He would practically have the Trip Dub if his teammates could actually convert
Tie ball game.
Jrue unties it off a feed from AI9.
34 points for the Raps in that quarter.
Only 34 points.
Triple double possibility.
Iguodala: 17 points, 9 boards, 6 assists.
Impossible, we would have to score 8 more pts.
Game, set match. Fourth three for TOR.
That isn't scheme, that's just lazy defense Sam. Clang again by Dre.
Are you Eddie Jordan's speech writer?
Lou and AI3 coming in here to settle things defensively.
Barganani tells Thad to get off him.
Bargs with an up-fake and one dribble and pop right in Thad's face. Heh.
Btw, Carney and Speights both played well in the first half. No sign of them so far in the second.
I think Carney has potential to be the next Matt Barnes. Good in very limited minutes for us, then gets picked up by a better team and plays more minutes and becomes a very useful player.
The fact that Toronto is trying harder than Philly on the defensive end is something to be ashamed about.
Iggy is the only one who is playing right now. I mean, how can we trade the one guy who isn't dependent on shooting for good play?
Sam/Jrue are exceptions but not as consistent as AI9
what a highway for Calderon and too easy for Bargnani!
Thad has 12 points on 16 shots, and five turnovers.
Get Speights in there for Thad already. That's what a coach may consider.
Please put Carney in for Thad.
4 on Sammy.
Ugly turnover by Jrue.
May as well get the scrubs in there.
I mean the other scrubs.
go thad
DAMN, good outlet Jrue. And Thad with the cheap finish.
A ton of Thad's buckets have been because of AI9 putting him in a spot where he can't fail.
Exactly, anyone can be the beneficiaries of those.
Please keep Iguodala in there long enough to get the triple double. Something to root for.
Zum: "Thad's 3 of 4 last shots have been blocked."
And Zum: "Thad's best night in a while with 16 pts and 13 rebs".
Please. Don't be fooled Mark.
Lou coming for Jrue, I believe.
Fuck Lou. Seriously.
Hmmm... Jrue/AI/Iggy/Thad/Daly. If it were Brand instead of Thad it'd be the lineup I was rooting for when AI was signed. Heck, if Brand had 20 shots in this game he'd be 13-20 or something.
17/11/7 for Igoudala. 3 assists in 5 minutes?
The players have to make the basket after Iggy passes. Not gonna happen I think. only guy who can score is AI, and he usually scores off his own move and jumper.
Speaking of AI... 7-12 for 22 points, 4 assists.. 0 turnovers.. he's playing as well as you could expect from him.
Thad with the season high in rebounds
16 points on 20 shots for Thad now.
Whoever has the ball last wins?
5 threes now.
There's assist #8. Come on.
Haha nice make by Hedo.
Imagine the horror if this team wins a game without EB. Maybe the coach will use it as an excuse not to play him at all.
5th on Sammy.
matchup: lou-AI3 vs jack-calderon... let's see...
Wow, Speights has sat the whole half and now you bring him in?
and speights in after sitting the whole half
woah, Thad Young actually scored when they got him the ball!
Who made that pass? Was it Iguodala?
yes # 9
Yup, that's 9.
Maybe he gets the 10th after at the buzzer to pull the Sixers within 5.
Come on Iggy, one more!!!
What the hell are u saving sam for? There's only 3 min. left in the damn game.
Hey, he gave Sam an extra foul tonight, don't get greedy. usually he fouls out with 4.
Well it's an improvement... Usually he doesn't play after his fourth foul..
Calderon/Williams is a battle in defensive ineptitude.
At least one of them is a point guard.
Ugh. That Speights jumper was #10.
AI9 did a terrible job running that P&R w/ SP8s.
He should have got Thad out instead of Speights.
two quick fouls on speights in less than a minute in crunch time and he should have taken thad out huh
Alright Eddie, what're you drawing up here?
He runs that a ton. Worked this time for Lou.
Got a good look for Lou, I think off a give-and-go. Not too bad.
Nothing like a little YMCA to get the crowd going!
Have to hope TOR misses a wide open shot.
Sweet defensive subs by Jordan there, huh?
Slammin' Sammy!
TOR chooses Turk iso'd on Iguodala in that situation. That's stellar coaching.
Ok lets see if lou and ai are left in for D.
Carney in for AI3. Lou left in there. Didn't matter, they took Bash iso'd on Sammy. Good play. And that's a continuation 100/100 times in the NBA. Zum needs to shut up.
Damn Iggy, what are you shooting for? go for the Triple-double!!
w00t way to earn that lead back guys! (even though they should have gone back ahead about ten time by now but whatever)
Dre's going to fall short on the TD, it seems. TOR should run a P&R with Calderon/Bosh. If they run a Bosh iso, they probably lose
TOR go for the game-winner here? Milk the clock? Not sure what I'd do.
Awful call. Stunned.
no,no,no!!!! no way!!!
AI/Lou/Kapono/Smith/Brezec. I think that's the worst 5 you could put on the court for defense in the entire NBA.
I'm just waiting for Eddie Jordan to try that once. LOL.
All I wanna see is Iggy pass it to someone who takes a shot. At least 1 shot for the TD. Haha. Don't really care about the W at this point.
why was Lou. Will on the court for that defensive possession? I know it didn't end up mattering, but it is still maddening
was thinking the same thing
1-4 set w/ Carney in the corner, AI9 w/ the ball. Drive the lane, kick to Carney for the three at the buzzer. Hit/miss, win/lose. That's my call here.
I know I shouldn't, but I'd really like to see the home team get a W here. If only we could win out and somehow EJ still get fired
Good Play there EJ
Was Dre supposed to have passed that to Lou?
Dre never touched the ball after he threw it in.
I know that. I'm talking about the inbounds pass. Why didn't he hit Lou as Lou came off that first screen?
He passed it to AI which started the commotion, when Lou appeared to be the primary with the AI come-to-the-ball being secondary.
Didn't look like that to me when I rewound it. Lou's man was in his hip pocket. Looked like Lou was cycling through then AI filled the void behind him. I think it was supposed to be in AI3's hands.
Lol EJ is DONE!!!!!!
AI9 never even was drawn up to get a touch there. Does anyone want to blame that on him?
Another Jordan Special.
I haven't had many complaints about Iverson's play, but he really trashed that play. Oh well, another nail in the coffin hopefully.
I think he drove early because they had a foul to give and he thought they gave it. I think he was right about that too.
Pretty much exactly what we expected, right? They hung in a little better while they were blowing it, but you don't win close games when you can't get stops down the stretch. And you don't beat all O/no D teams by playing no D against them.
60 points in the second half for TOR.
Nothing to do with stops. They just left points on the board tonight. Just didn't make plays.
I can't wait to hear how great the defense was tonight.
Not Lou.
For AI9's TD's sake, I was actually hoping the shot would fall.
But i certainly wasn't expecting him to not get the ball.
From now on, I don't want to hear crap about Iguodala and the last shot. Lou Williams actually created a 27-foot pump fake three after getting the ball on the wing. At least Dala has never taken a shot like that with the game running down. Just horrible play call from the jump
I betcha Eddie Jordan says "we got a good shot".
AI had a nice offensive game, but there is no excuse for AI9 not getting the call to make the play at the end of the game. No excuse.
Not totally unexpected though.
20 free throws in first half 5 in second including 0 in the 4th qtr.
But Iguodala gets to the line more than Miller from this year to last. Like stats matter more than timing.
Yep, you're right. this one is definitely on Iguodala.
Sarcasm so misrepresented...
Only heartbreaking thing about this game: Iguodala falling one assist shy of the triple double.
Whew...that was close.
Thad had averaged about 22 minutes a game in his last game. Tonight he played 46 and he was pretty bad. He's gonna play more with EB out, but come on, 46 minutes.
Speights gets 10 minutes. Carney gets 3.
How do you expect a guy to go from playing 20 min per game the last couple of weeks to 46? Genius
Good news, Wizards won.
I never thought I'd say this and I hate to be the pessimist, but I am truly going to start hoping for a top pick.
Is this team going to make a hard enough push to make the playoffs as lead or constructed? I have a hard time believing so. Even if they played extremely efficient offensively for the rest of the year they'd do just well enough to get a mid round pick.
If they made the playoffs, could they even challenge the top team, even win a game? Not with this defense.
It's beginning to be too late. The season is lost.
I can't believe the break is almost here and the most enjoying thing so far this season has been reading about how bad they've been. Dark days for us loyals.
I haven't even begun to worry about draft position, honestly. If this team makes it through the season with Eddie Jordan still in place as the head coach all hope is lost. I'm focusing on that.
If we do no better in the next few weeks I think there is no way ES could justify keeping him around.
So one has a hand in the other.
Wow! With EB out, he played Thad 46, forty-six minutes. And it showed.
I know the Elton support runs high around here, but as I watched tonight's game and saw what Bosh ended up doing, i thought to myself "So THATS what a max contract power forward looks like..." Not Eltons fault he couldn't get off the toilet but wow Bosh is a true talent.
If you measure by offensive metrics alone.
I think if it weren't "make it take it", I am almost sure I could put a couple up in a game to 16.
But yes, he is something with the ball.
No disrespect, but he is about soft as shit in a slipper, even though I'd take him as my #1 any day.
It was awesome when Shaq called him the Ru Paul of centers.Still a really talented guy on offense despite his softness
No doubt Bosh has offensive talent, but he plays on one side of the court. Elton Brand doesn't.
We are now officially worse than these teams:
New York
That is truly hard to fathom.
How has it happened this fast?
What is the common denominator?
To whom do I owe my sorrows?
After more thought, I truly would not trade our roster for any of those teams.
All favoritism and emotional attachment aside.
Maybe, just maybe the Clippers. If Griffin still becomes the man.
Teddy took 24 shots and not 1 trip to the line, horrendous and frail.
Looks like the Wolves are gonna win.
Man, the Nets just blew one against the Hornets.
yeah im watching that right now, bullshit offensive foul called on Yi
Scary thought, guys, worthy of some discussion: in 06-07, the Sixers started out 10-29 (even worse than this year) but never stopped trying and got to 35-47. They then missed out on both the playoffs and the Durant/Oden lottery (I guess they had a tiny chance). So are we actually rooting for the team to do so badly that Jordan gets fired? And then random Interim Coach X emphasizes defense and plays some sensible lineups, so that the Sixers can't help but get to 35-47 again? Or are we rooting for Jordan to do just well enough not to get fired until the end of the regular season, "guiding" them to a 22-60 record or so and a higher draft pick? Because I'm not sure I can stomach seeing Jordan the rest of the season (and all the damage he might do to the development arcs of Jrue, Speights, etc.), but he's probably the only guy who can ensure a 22-60 record with this roster (way too talented to be this bad).
I don't think they'll be cracking 30 wins this year. Too many issues, especially because I don't see Jordan getting pulled before the ASG.
Per Tom Moore:
The Sixers are 7-8 this season when leading by double digits.
If that isn't another indictment of EJ and his "defense" I don't know what is
Check out Kate Fagan's site, deepsixer asap!! Exiciting news imo.
What is the news? Before the game, sho posted the PC with Stefanski where she askec (twice) if Jordan was safe...and ES danced around it. After the game, she reported that AI took a knee to his bad knee and won't be playing in Detroit tomorrow...
What's the big news?
yea not sure what the news is either. pretty standard ES interview
Kate believes Jordan is on shaky ground and may not make it through this year. She asked the question twice and he would not commmit. Btw, she is the only beat writer to question that I think.
Noticed ya'll already saw interview. Sorry. I was at the "game".
I took it as Jordan is on shakey ground and I think Kate took it the same way.
i didn't initially agree with john chaney when he blamed this team's problems on the lack of a point guard, but after seeing them blow so many games in the 4th lately, you have to think a PG who knew how to manipulate the pace of the game, who to get the ball to & how to get it to them in the right spot, etc, etc, would help. iguodala is the closest thing they have but they ask so much from him already.
It takes a very special talent to be the leading scorer and the PG. Especially when you are also needed to be the best defender
finally some national coverage.
Nothing new there. I wasn't really blown away by what Stefanski said. It's good that he didn't give any kind of endorsement to Jordan, but how could he under these circumstances?
I'll start feeling a little better when there's an actual rumor that he's got one foot out the door. This press conference was about Stefanski showing the fans that he's as pissed off as they are, but the fact of the matter is he's not. If he was as pissed as we are his buddy would be gone already.

The most widely espoused definition for that which constitutes a learning disability was developed by the National Joint Committee on Learning Disabilities (NJCLD). According to the NJCLD:
"Learning disabilities is a general term that refers to a heterogeneous group of disorders manifested by significant difficulties in the acquisition and use of listening, speaking, reading, writing, reasoning, or mathematical skills. These disorders are intrinsic to the individual and presumed to be due to a central nervous system dysfunction, and may occur across the life span. Problems in self-regulatory behaviors, social perception, and social interaction may exist with the learning disabilities but do not, by themselves, constitute a learning disability. Although learning disabilities may occur concomitantly with other disabilities (e.g., sensory impairment, mental retardation, serious emotional disturbance), or with extrinsic influences (such as cultural differences, insufficient or inappropriate instruction), they are not the result of those conditions or influences."

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I am currently a creditor in a business bankruptcy...and there maybe debtor's inventory that may be of more value to me than the bankruptcy trustee. So my question is.....
Was the debtor a corporation? Is the case closed?
If the Trustee has already abandoned the asset ... you should have received a Notice of his intent to do so and you had an opportunity to object. If the case is still open (and, as you have implied, there are assets to be liquidated) you have the right to contact the Trustee and offer him what the inventory is worth to you. If the debtor is a corporation, the debt to you has not been (will not be) discharged and you retain whatever civil remedies you have to retrieve the inventory from the corporation.
I agree with Mr. Whitaker. Contact the Trustee ASAP. You may be able to recover your inventory at a bargain price. Best of luck.

My brain is alive enough to control my tongue and to provide some understanding and consideration to others that may not be as versed as I am in certain situations. I am relatively new to the Internet and news groups so I do not realize all of the unwritten etiquette, nor the alternative posting sites. Think about this next time you are on unfamiliar ground and ask someone a "silly/stupid" question. It is only silly or stupid when you know the answer. If you have never found yourself in that type of situation I am confident that you will one day. You will be appreciative for a kind word and help. As I said TIS offers an SCO version of the TIS toolkit (FIREWALL!) and during firewall configuration discussions the question came up. So I thought maybe someone had experience with SCO Unix related to a firewall setup on something other than a PC. I'm not real sure why I am explaining myself to you since it is obvious that you have no real desire to be helpful. If you think that the message I posted is inappropriate then it would certainly be fine to say so, and to suggest an alternative posting site. However, there is no need to be rude. You know the old adage "...if you don't have anything good to say, then don't say anything...". The interesting thing is that it took you longer to respond to my message then it would have taken you to open and delete it.

On May 22, 1960, a Mw 9.5 earthquake, the largest earthquake ever instrumentally recorded, occurred in southern Chile. The series of earthquakes that followed ravaged southern Chile and ruptured over a period of days a 1,000 km section of the fault, one of the longest ruptures ever reported. The number of fatalities associated with both the earthquake and tsunami has been estimated to be between 490 and 5,700. Reportedly there were 3,000 injured, and initially there were 717 missing in Chile. The Chilean government estimated 2,000,000 people were left homeless and 58,622 houses were completely destroyed. Damage (including tsunami damage) was more than $500 million U.S. dollars.

Hate List
by Jennifer Brown
Books Read in 2015 (1,157)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Val & Nick are getting bullied at school and both have difficult home lives. Val creates a notebook with a "hate list." They add to it all the names of kids who bully them, and all the others in their lives that make them miserable. Val and Nick are both angry, but Val doesn't realize how angry and disturbed Nick is, until it's too late. How is she supposed to move past this and "get on with her life" like all the adults want her to?
This book revolves around the school shooting, the events that preceded it, and the events that followed. We see how Val fell in love with Nick, how devastated she was after the shooting, and how difficult her life was after.
Warning, this book may have you tearing up at times. It is a difficult read, especially considering the world we live in today. Brown did an amazing job portraying teenagers, the way they think, and the way they feel. So many overpowering emotions. So much Hate. Such a heartbreaking situation.
As difficult as this book was, it drew me in. I listened on audio and put it on every chance I got.
Actual Rating: 4.25
Oh man, if I could describe this book in one word, it would be thought-provoking.
How many times have you wished for someone to die, or to feel the pain that you were feeling?
How many times have you been consumed with hatred or disgust or pain that you just wanted to end it - not only for yourself, but for everyone else too?
For me, too many times.
Jennifer Brown's Hate List is about the aftermath of a school shooting. Valerie, the main character, struggles with accepting herself and being accepted by those in society as the girlfriend of the perpetrator (Nick), who not only shot up their enemies, but shot himself as well.
Valerie is something of an antihero - she helped create a list of victims (although she didn't know what it would become), but on the other hand, she also stopped the shooting by jumping in front of a potential victim, resulting in Nick's immediate suicide.
So what is she? An accomplice or a savior?
It is this part of her identity that she now struggles with - she is torn between guilt and innocence, and it is this same distinction that others are too quick to make.
As Valerie's identity is blurred, her family falls apart, along with the lives of those around her.
Hate List follows Valerie (and everyone she knows) as they try to come to terms with this tragedy and move on with their lives.
The writing is so powerful.
As someone who not only holds grudges but also has a pretty volatile temper, Jennifer Brown's Hate List hit me on a very personal level, where I not only connected with Valerie, but also with Nick and Jessica and Duce and everyone in between.
This book raises a lot of questions as well, especially concerning issues of gun control, mental health, and bullying - but it focuses more on the last two, putting into the spotlight concerns such as:
What is the breaking point? How do you control the difference between feeling anger and acting on it?
And when it is bullying that drives someone to do something like this, who receives the blame?
After reading this book, I would say: a little bit of everyone.
People are so used to seeing school shooters as two-dimensional, flat criminals or evil masterminds, but what Brown does is turn Nick into someone who is so layered and multifaceted so that readers don't only as Nick the shooter, but also as Nick the victim, Nick the boyfriend, and Nick the best friend.
It is hard to imagine that they are not all cruel and heartless killers, but it's true - maybe they're just people who have been in pain for too long.
But what doesn't change is that what they do hurts everyone - this book is a powerful reminder that these things happen, and that these things are real.
School Shootings, misrepresentations in media, bullying - Brown touches up on so many issues in real life and she does it in an absolutely touching and captivating way.
Oh, but one more thing. The parents in this are absolutely a w f u l. They are distrustful, unsupportive, selfish, you name it - and although it's true that sometimes my dislike of characters is what ruins a book for me, this time it was different. It was because of the way Valerie was frustrated and hurt because of those characters that allowed me to relate to this and connect with this book on a personal level.
All in all, I'd say that this was a heartbreakingly real book about a girl's journey to accepting herself and dealing with her own guilt and anger. But thats not all this book is - it's a story about everyone's path to understanding, and most of all, the difference between controlling your pain or letting it control you.
I almost didn't read this novel by Jennifer Brown because of the subject matter: A school shooting. There are too many shootings and did I really want to read a novel about one?
The fact is that "Hate List" is about so much more than a shooting. It's about people and relationships and change and how little we strive to know others, but are willing to accept stereotypes without getting to know the real person. This isn't an easy read. Despite the fact that Valerie is the shooter's girlfriend and accepts blame for not seeing what was going on, she is also a victim. Her struggle is intense and she focuses each day on trying to see what is really there and not what is manufactured by preconception.
Intense. That is the best word I can think of to describe this book. The book begins with Valerie's first day back to school after the shooting. She is still recovering, awkward, and afraid of her classmates reaction to her return. The rest of the story is told through Valerie's flashbacks and newspaper reports.
This book features a topic that I find terrifying. I was in middle school when Columbine happened and lived a bit of history as I experienced changes in policies and school safety as a result. I can't say that I was or was not worried about it actually happening, but I remember it leaving people keyed up on the subject. Those feelings returned as I was reading this book.
I felt sorry for Valerie. She found herself caught up in a scheme planned and executed by the person she loved; the person she thought understood her best in the world. Valerie's journey is a slow one, but also interesting. Ultimately, this book is about learning to live again.
There were parts of the story that I feel could have been fleshed out more: Be, the lover of all things purple, and Nick's weird older friend, for example. Everyone came down on Valerie, but it seems no one asked questions about that guy.
All in all though, I think this topic was handled quite well.
The Hate List is the story of a young girl caught between love and hate. Valerie Leftman is struggling to reconcile her feelings for her family, her boyfriend, her friends, and her peers. She is an outcast-at school and at home. Valerie finds love with Nick, her high school boyfriend, but even with him she feels unsettled. She makes an off-hand decision to write names of everyone who slights her in a notebook she names The Hate List and unwittingly sets off a series of destructive events. Nick, also an outcast, takes her vent literally. One fateful day he attempts to destroy the teens who have caused their pain by going on a mass shooting spree at their high school. Valerie is shot trying to stop him and is left unable to act as Nick commits suicide. The novel is a testament to the consequences of hatefulness and the triumphs of forgiveness.

A moisture detection of single rice grains using a slim and small open-ended coaxial probe is presented. The coaxial probe is suitable for the nondestructive measurement of moisture values in the rice grains ranging from from 9.5% to 26%. Empirical polynomial models are developed to predict the gravimetric moisture content of rice based on measured reflection coefficients using a vector network analyzer. The relationship between the reflection coefficient and relative permittivity were also created using a regression method and expressed in a polynomial model, whose model coefficients were obtained by fitting the data from Finite Element-based simulation. Besides, the designed single rice grain sample holder and experimental set-up were shown. The measurement of single rice grains in this study is more precise compared to the measurement in conventional bulk rice grains, as the random air gap present in the bulk rice grains is excluded.
Recently, there has been an increased interest in microwave measurement techniques for the determination of moisture content,
The prime considerations in the measurement of grain moisture using indirect methods are the size of the instrument sensor, which is in direct contact with the rice grain samples and the accuracy of the measurements [
In this study, a millimeter size slim open-ended coaxial probe has been fabricated to measure the moisture in small grains. The coaxial probe was fabricated from a 0.86 mm outer diameter (OD) semi-rigid coaxial cable equipped with a male-type SMA plug connector. The coaxial cable was machined flat and polished to form an open surface end. Then, the coaxial probe was protected and covered by a customized stainless steel sheath with a flange, as shown in
The reflection coefficient, Γ models of the millimeter coaxial probe are given as:
The complex parameters in
In this study; the simplest technique of de-embedding of coaxial probe is by extending the transmission phase in which the phase of reflection coefficient at measurement plane;
Simultaneously, the attenuation constant,
Teflon and methanol liquid have been tested to verify the accuracy of the proposed calibration method.
In comparison, the calibrated measurement results using only the open standard have given a satisfy accuracy measurement up to 5 GHz. However, the noise inherent in both calibrated measurements are due to random errors contributed by the instruments or environmental measurement control. Moreover, the random errors are not taken into account in either calibration technique. The effect of the standing wave in the measurement of the open standard calibration becomes increasingly obvious when the operating frequency,
The incident wave from the plane
For inverse solutions, the predicted values of the relative dielectric constant,
Finding the zero routine was realized using the MATLAB fzero command. The initial approximate value in the numerical prediction was equal to 5 –
The measurement reflection coefficient using millimeter coaxial probe that consists of the Agilent E5071C network analyzer in the frequency range between 0.5 GHz to 12 GHz was carried out at room temperature. The open end of the coaxial line was terminated by single rice grain sample. Normally, the length and width for various kinds of rice grains was in the range of 4.8–7.8 mm and 1.5–2.8 mm, respectively. Thus, the fringing field (sensing area ≈ 2
In this measurement, a specific holder was customized for the measurement of a selected single rice grain. The customized holder has a movable nylon platform which was mounted on a retort stand as shown in
The polynomial regressions for the reflection coefficient, Γ
The variations in relative dielectric constant,
The proposed coaxial probe has a small sensing area which covers the size of single rice grain and provides a nondestructive and real time moisture measurement for single rice grains. Moreover, the single grain measurement does not depend on the bulk density of the rice grains, thus the uncertainty of bulk density in the rice measurement (due to different rates of broken rice in the bulk grain) can be ignored. In this study, moisture and dielectric models were created to suit the studied coaxial probe. The proposed simple de-embedding technique provides a rapid and low cost calibration procedure for the coaxial probe. However, the technique does not consider the systematic and random noises along the coaxial line, and thus it is suitable for a short coaxial probe, (

I arrived home in Cape Breton on Aug. 26. As I crossed the causeway, I listened to Rita MacNeil's "Home I'll Be" and allowed the beauty of the song to allay some of my misgivings.
These misgivings related to all that had happened in the Church of Antigonish since I left for Ottawa in 2006. The church I was coming home to was not the church I had left.
I had been named the first pastor of the newly-erected parish of St. Marguerite Bourgeoys. In the good old days the creation of a new parish indicated a significant level of growth. Not this time: this new parish resulted from the sharp decrease in numbers of people and clergy. From my experience travelling across Canada as director of the National Liturgy Office I knew full well the hurt and anger that such a decision generates.
The Church of Antigonish had also endured a horrific, demoralizing experience of scandal. The people and clergy of the diocese were battered and bruised by these events. This experience also led to an unprecedented loss of revenue, personnel, resources and property.
Since I've been home, people have welcomed me warmly. My brother priests continue to serve the people with great devotion and hard work. Many individuals still serve their parishes generously with their time and talents. Were my misgivings unfounded?
No, but I now see them differently. The events of recent years have deeply damaged the fabric of the Church of Antigonish. Many people suffer a sense of hurt and betrayal so profound that they cannot be with us anymore. We would, however, be mistaken to conclude that these events caused all our turmoil.
Across Canada, Catholics are facing the near absence of young people in church, the shortage of clergy, the closure of parishes. The causes are complex and cannot be answered by simplistic solutions.
Theologian Timothy Radcliffe says the church was born in crisis at the Last Supper and we have been dealing with crises ever since.
Cardinal Walter Kasper has noted that the Lord only seems able to lead us to new ways of doing things when reliable old structures have fallen apart. Old structures are tumbling all around us. It is time to trust our Lord's promise that he would not abandon us. I believe He is leading us to a new way.
Often we ask the wrong questions about the subject at hand. As we confront today's realities I pray that we learn to ask the right questions.
Fr. Bill Burke, a native of Main-a-Dieu, has an MA in liturgical theology from the University of Notre Dame. After 29 years in the diocese, he was appointed director of the National Liturgy Office for the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops in 2006. In September 2013, he returned to become pastor of St. Marguerite Bourgeoys parish in Sydney.

Elective Affinities
Photographed by Craig McDean for Vogue Paris September 2006
I am really sorry I haven't been posting much, the reason is I had some family and friends from all over visit, people I haven't seen in a very long time. Actually I haven't seen them since September 2006, and I remembered these photos.. I knew they were from September 2006 but I wasn't sure in which magazine.. It took me about a day to find them, and the nostalgia is so nice :)
Vogue Paris September 2006 is a very nice issue, but this editorial stood out. Maybe it's the models, the set, or the ballet shoes; I don't know but I know I do love these. I had to share them, xx

This is an amazing post. I've always believe that crap like this happens because we are sinners. We have created this world that has war, natural disasters, and heartache in it through our own sin. God is merciful, but we do have that little thing called free will :)
It's amazing though, to see his mercy in stories like the ones you have shared.
Thanks for this post, it really is amazing. Again, I am so glad you are okay!

Hey Melanie! I so totally agree with your words & d.a.r's as well. It is so nice to see people brought together & helping one another out in times of tragedy. It certainly gives me hope...
Great job on the 4 miler! I am back to running but the longest distance I've done so far is 3 miles. My pace is also sooooo slow now- I'm averaging around 11:20 or so. I hope I can build up to where I used to be!

Hallelujuah! Nicely said. We live in a broken world full of sin, but fortunately for us that's not the end. God made a way for us - JESUS.
You asked if people thank God (on tv, etc.) in other parts of the country. I live in the northeast and sadly enough you rarely hear it. It seems like everyone is more worried about being "politically correct" and even if they do have a faith in God, they keep it to themselves.
By the way, great job on your running! Looks like you're on your way to a big comeback!

A young visitor gives NCAR's Earth fountain a spin. Photo by Carlye Calvin, UCAR.
Visitors to Boulder's new Twenty Ninth Street retail district will find more than the usual assortment of clothing stores and restaurants. The mall, which opened to the public on October 13, features "The Wonders of Science at Twenty Ninth Street," a collection of permanent exhibits developed by seven local research laboratories. The exhibits are intended to highlight the importance of science to the Boulder area.
NCAR's exhibit, located on the northeast corner of Canyon and 29th Street, is a granite sphere fountain etched with outlines of the seven continents. The sphere is suspended on a thin film of water so that visitors can spin it in any direction.
The exhibit also includes an 8-foot-tall, lighted kiosk with dramatic photographs on all sides that demonstrate the scope of NCAR's scientific research. A touch-screen computer lets visitors learn more about the organization's mission, read profiles of individual scientists,
and obtain information for visiting the Mesa Lab.
"It's fantastic to have science and education as part of the new shopping district," says UCAR president Rick Anthes, emphasizing that many different partners collaborated on the project. "I'm really looking forward to seeing how the public reacts to our exhibit and all the others."
"There was a huge investment of time, design, and infrastructure from Twenty Ninth Street," adds EO's Susan Foster.
Each participating lab has its own unique exhibit along with a kiosk styled to match the others. The other labs are the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics (JILA), Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and the Space Sciences Institute.
On October 12, several dozen UCAR/NCAR staffers, including UCAR community representatives in town for the annual members meeting, attended Twenty Ninth Street's grand opening preview benefit. Dubbed "When Worlds Collide," the event benefited Impact on Education, a Boulder-based nonprofit organization that leverages community resources to impact student learning and build support for public education, with an emphasis on science, technology, and math.
Also as part of its grand opening, Twenty Ninth Street hosted "Science Saturday" on October 14, with local scientists, live demonstrations, self-guided tours, and science-oriented face painting and balloon artistry. EO staffed a table with educational information about NCAR and atmospheric science.
