Pelosi: Urban Environmental Accords a 'Blueprint for Healthy Future for Our Children'
Washington, D.C. - House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi delivered the following address at the United Nations World Environment Day Closing Ceremonies yesterday afternoon in San Francisco. She joined mayors from around the world to celebrate the signing of the Urban Environmental Accords, an international treaty that aims to solve environmental challenges through common-sense solutions. Below are Pelosi's remarks:
"Thank you, Director Klaus Topfer. We are fortunate indeed that your pioneering efforts in Germany are now benefiting the world.
"Thank you, Mayor Newsom, for making the greening of San Francisco a cornerstone of your administration, and for your unwavering commitment to making San Francisco a livable community and a model for the world's cities.
"Thank you, Jared Blumenfeld, director of the San Francisco Department of the Environment, for your leadership in bringing U.N. World Environment Day to San Francisco.
"Thank you, distinguished mayors, for participating in these historic accords. I have a special appreciation for mayors and the special relationship you have with your constituents. My father was the mayor of Baltimore, Maryland for 12 years, beginning when I was seven years old. Later, my brother was mayor as well. Watching them work, I came to understand and respect the impact that mayors have on the people and communities you serve.
"I know I speak for all San Franciscans when I say we are honored by your presence. It is fitting that you chose to sign the Urban Environmental Accords here in San Francisco because of our values and because of our history. Northern California is the cradle of America's environmental movement. For us in California, the environment is not an issue; it is a value, it is an ethic, which I know you share.
"John Muir, one of America's foremost naturalists and the father of our national park systems, made his home here. America's national commitment to clean air was launched in California. And California was the incubator of the modern renewable energy industry. Northern California is and will always be free of offshore oil drilling.
"Thanks to State Senator John Burton, a San Franciscan, California recently adopted tough limits on greenhouse gas emissions from automobiles, and other states in the U.S. are beginning to follow suit.
"It is fitting that you meet here because of our history. Sixty years ago this month, at the War Memorial Veterans Building just across the street, representatives of countries around the world gathered to found the United Nations - an institution that gave hope for enduring peace, economic stability, protection of our environment and respect for the rights of the world's people.
"I know that future generations will celebrate the signing of these Accords as a new chapter in which the world's cities took on a greater responsibility for stewardship of the world's environment.
"When our prehistoric ancestors evolved from hunter-gatherers to farmers to city dwellers, they moved from adapting to their environment to controlling and changing their environment. Yet while they were making progress, they often lost sight of protecting the environment.
"In the Old Testament, the book of Deuteronomy admonished, 'When you besiege a city... you must not destroy its trees.' This was good advice then, and it's good advice now.
"Today, as you know, cities have a huge impact on the global environment. The majority of the world's people now live in cities. Around the world, 1 million people move into cities each week.
"Look around you. The cities governed by the mayors here today have a combined population of more than 200 million. That means that the commitments you are adopting today will impact one in every 30 people in the world.
"You have tremendous power. And with that power comes tremendous opportunity, and tremendous responsibility. In places where national governments either cannot or will not act in a way that makes progress and protects our environment - mayors must lead.
"Albert Einstein once said: 'We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.'
"The poet Shelley had the answer when he wrote, 'The greatest force for moral good is imagination.' Imagination enables us to think in new and creative ways. Imagination is what allows us to challenge the status quo.
"Know thy power. Your power and your creativity are needed now more than ever, and that is why the accords you are signing today are so significant. They are a blueprint for a healthy future for our children.
"In studying the balance of nature, children learn that everything in nature is connected. Of the seven categories in which you have committed to take action, the one that clearly unites them all is environmental health.
"Whether we are discussing clean energy, waste reduction, mass transit, urban design, urban nature, or clean water - each of these influences environmental health, especially for our children. We all know that children in the early stages of development are significantly affected by the quality of the environment in which they live. When it comes to toxic pollutants, children are much more sensitive.
"Around the world, children die every day because of contaminated drinking water that spreads disease. Even in America, the debate continues over arsenic, mercury, and sewage in our water supply.
"Environmental health is closely linked to the issue of environmental justice. Environmental justice insists that all people, regardless of their ethnicity or income, have the right to a clean and healthy environment. Ethnic minorities and the poor too often carry a heavier burden of exposure to pollution than the affluent. In the U.S., they are more likely to live near landfills, waste incinerators, power plants, petrochemical plants, and other sources of pollution.
"No one should have to live with more pollution because they are from a minority group, or because they are poor, especially if they are children. When we see an environmental threat to public health, we have a moral responsibility to eliminate it. It is a matter of fairness - breathing clean air and drinking clean water is a right, not a privilege. It is a matter of fairness that polluters pay for the damage they do, not children paying with their health.
"Here in the United States, many of us view the right to a clean environment as a civil right, enforceable under federal civil rights laws. Former President Clinton issued an executive order directing each agency of the federal government to 'make achieving environmental justice part of its mission by identifying and addressing...disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects of its programs, policies, and activities on minority populations and low-income populations.'
"The current Administration is not sympathetic, but we are continuing that fight.
"I know that as mayors and city officials, you are grappling with many environmental challenges on a day-to-day basis. That makes signing even more remarkable.
"As Democratic Leader in the House of Representatives, I acknowledge your leadership and commitment and extend congratulations from my congressional colleagues on the historic occasion of your signing these Accords. What you are doing here today is taking a different approach - a united approach - on the stewardship of the environment.
"Mayor Newsom, I wish we could adopt this agenda on the national level in our own country.
"Honored guests, the recognition you will receive for the work you do goes far beyond of stars it will earn your cities. The real reward will be the healthier lives and healthier communities you build for your children and grandchildren.
"These are more than public policy issues - they are profoundly moral issues. They speak to the very fabric of life itself - connecting our communities and binding us together - neighbor to neighbor, nation to nation, generation to generation.
"Prophet Isaiah said: 'To minister to the needs of God's creation is an act of worship. To ignore those needs is to dishonor the God who made us.' Thank you for your acts of worship by respecting our beautiful environment, and every person on the planet.
"Thank you and congratulations for your achievement here today."

Chelsea star John Obi Mikel has been banned from driving for 15 months after admitting drink-driving at West London Magistrates' Court.
The footballer, who also plays for Nigeria, was arrested by police in Fulham Road, west London, on January 24 after being found to be almost twice the legal limit.
Mr Mikel, 21, was stopped by police officers who saw him driving quickly in his black Range Roger and thought it was suspicious.
Prosecutor Fubhanur Chowdhury said: "The reason he was stopped is he was driving at speed. The officers became suspicious of the manner in which he was driving.
"They could smell alcohol on his breath. There were three attempts to provide a sample and the result was positive. He was arrested and taken to Fulham Police Station."
The court heard that the player had been out to dinner after watching his team play at Stamford Bridge and had drunk between four and five glasses of wine.
He was found to have 66 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is 35 micrograms.
District Judge Jeremy Coleman banned him from driving for 15 months and ordered him to pay £1,580, but his solicitor said he would not undertake a drink-driving course to shorten the ban.

OSAKA, Japan -- Bryan Clay applied ice to his injured
quadriceps muscle, got a quick massage and even turned to
Nothing helped ease the pain. So the reigning decathlon champion
withdrew from the competition at the world track and field
championships. He tweaked his right leg while competing in the high
jump, the fourth of five events Friday evening.
"It was just too painful," said Clay, who had 3,558 points.
"It was going so well, too."
With five events to go in the decathlon, Jamaican Maurice Smith
had the lead with 4,525 points. Dmitriy Karpov of Kazakhstan was
next at 4,439, and Czech Olympic champion Roman Sebrle had 4,434.
Clay still can't figure out what exactly happened. He hurt his
right quadriceps as he went to plant his foot for his second
attempt at 6 feet, 6¾ inches in the high jump. He heard a pop and
slumped under the bar, falling onto the mat. He limped off the
track and didn't return.
"I think my heel may have slipped," he said. "At least I
think that's what happened. I really don't know."
After the injury, Clay tried to get ready for the last event of
the first night -- the 400 meters. A massage didn't alleviate the
knot, neither did the acupuncture. After running to test the leg,
then conferring with doctors, he decided it was best to pull out.
"I wanted to keep going," said Clay, the 2004 Olympic silver
medalist. "But it just got tighter and tighter. Maybe I could've
run the 400. But I would've run it in 52 seconds, and it would've
been pointless."
He paused.
"I wanted to perform well here, too," he said.
It was almost like a home meet for Clay. His mother is Japanese,
and he painted the distinctive red circle of the rising sun on a
white background on both shoulders. The Osaka crowd quickly warmed
up to him.
"They were cheering for me. That's why this is disappointing,"
he said. "Anytime you're in the top part of the pack and having a
decent day, it's never an easy decision to pull out. I couldn't do
anything about it."
U.S. teammate Tom Pappas felt for Clay.
"He was doing well," said Pappas, who's fifth, 183 points out
of the lead. "Hopefully, he's all right, and he'll get healthy
Clay had hoped to find a way to get through the first day, but
then he thought about the looming hurdles.
"That would've been tough. I would've struggled," he said.
"It was better calling it quits."
He might do that with the season, too, a difficult decision less
than 12 months from the Beijing Olympics. Clay has had an
injury-plagued season, pulling out of the U.S. championships in
June with nagging soreness in his left knee.
"We're going to discuss what we want to do," he said. "It's
been a tough season. Do I shut it down and heal up or keep going?
We'll see."

Finally we review the Liberal Party of Canada and its use of social media. As the current party in power but with a minority government (and a scandalized one at that), they have a unique challenge in getting their message out to a jaded and weary Canadian public. Will they take advantage of social media to ensure that their support is shored-up and ready for the election? Or will they see their ruling party status as sufficient and ignore the power of the digital conversation?
OK, before we even get to the Liberals, hot off the press, the NDP has blog badges and MSN icons! These were not there a couple of days ago. And then my NDP article was published. Who says one vote, one voice in the wilderness, doesn't make a difference? Right, on to the Liberals …

If the NDP is the "little guy" on the national political stage, then the Green Party is still waiting to be given a ticket to the show. Fortunately, the Green Party can stake a claim in cyberspace that's just as big, bold and interactive as any of the mainstream parties. OK, enough terrible mixed metaphors. Let's see if the Greens do take advantage of social media to rally their candidates and their constituents in an effort to change the political landscape.

With a little tech savvy and a decent graphics program, an individual could have a voice that has the potential to be equally heard along with the big guys. The NDP is often portrayed as "the little guy" in Canadian politics; how are they taking advantage of social media to promote their message and engage their constituency in an authentic conversation?

The Bloc Québecois is in a unique position as a national political party; they are serving a regional constituency with a small number of candidates. As a result, their use of Social Media seems to be focused around a specific type of interaction: create a central place where party members and supporters can contribute to the vision of the Bloc.

The blogosphere is no stranger to political opinion and debate. Canadians of every political stripe are blogging about candidates, policies and issues in all levels of government. In some cases, elected officials are also blogging, both to keep their constituency informed and to take swipes at their political opponents.
With Election 2006 fully underway, I took a look at the major political parties in Canada and how they, their candidates and their supporters are using social media to get their message across.
In this 5 part series, I review who's blogging, podcasting, emailing, and interacting to promote their agenda online. In the spirit of full disclosure, I tend towards the left hand side of the political spectrum, but as a marketer, I'm interested in what all parties are doing to further the political conversation. But first, what do I mean by "social media"? I like Stowe Boyd's definition of it:
Social Media are those forms of publishing that are based on a dynamic interaction, a conversation, between the author and active readers, in contrast with traditional broadcast media where the 'audience' is a passive 'consumer' of 'content'.

Rosa Yankovich is the heroine of the Darklight series and is one of the four unlockable characters for Fantendo Smash Bros., being unlocked by playing 80 Matches as Unten.
WARNING! CHALLENGER APPROACHING! Rosa joins the cast, using her sword and powerful shadow abilities to really pack a punch!
Designed by Plazzap
- Standard: Crystal Slash- Rosa launches the blade of her crystal sword which continues in the direction it was fired at. When it makes contact with a player the blade repeatedly slashes the victim and then does a combo finisher slash. As the crystal travels it also becomes gradually bigger and stronger when it hits a player, making it a better idea to be distanced from the target before using. Afterwards Rosa's crystal sword is reformed by cosmic matter which becomes crystal.
- Side: Ride-While riding in his car Scott suddenly appears from a cosmic portal behind Rosa and picks her up in his car, which will constantly drive towards the direction it came. The car stays in the background unable to damage opponents but Rosa can hop out at any time, and if she hops out near an opponent the opponent will be trapped inside the car unable to get out until the car falls offscreen or runs into a wall making it explode.
- Up: Darklight Void- Rosa will envelop herself along with nearby items and opponents in a dark void. Afterwards, Rosa and everything trapped in the void will reappear in a cloud of light and all opponents will scatter away while items will be kept near Rosa. The direction Rosa and all trapped items and opponents will reappear can be chosen by moving the control stick in that direction.
- Down: Cosmic Powder- Rosa holds up her sword which promptly gives off a bright glow. Anyone caught in the glow's radius will be caught in a cloud of cosmic powder for a certain amount of time, taking constant damage while trapped. Opponents trapped also take damage from outside damage and take knockback from any of that damage after they are released. A victim will be trapped one second for every 20% they have.
- Final Smash: Supernova- Rosa's crystal sword will shatter to reveal a sword composed of dark cosmic matter. Then the sword will pull various comets of light towards it from the edges of the screen that will damage players as they go into the sword. The direction these comets come from depend on what direction the player is inputting, for example the comets will come from the top right side if the player is inputting that direction and the direction can be slowly moved as the comets are absorbed. Then with her sword consisting of pure light from the comets, Rosa will hold her sword up and release the comets of light the way they came with twice the speed and force and the light in the sword will be replaced by the regular crystalline materiel.

As President Rodrigo Duterte and his administration lead the charge in the continuous combat against drugs, they made a shocking discovery in the province of Cagayan after discovering illegal materials that are believed to be primarily used in making methamphetamine or otherwise known as 'shabu'.
As of now, further testing is being done as local police authorities continue their search for more possible hidden storage of the drug.
The people at Cagayan were relieved to discover that the local police authorities in their province are active in the fight against illegal drug trades and operations. Time will tell if even more discoveries of drugs in the are will be discovered. But as of now, the administration under President Duterte is doing a good job in suppressing illegal drug activities.

Chicken Marsala
Recipe by Morti
I discovered this when I started eating low carb. I like to use a Merlot for the wine. I serve with fresh steamed green beans or a nice salad. It's very filling and the left overs are just as good in the microwave. I have served this to friends who were shocked to learn it was within their low carb eating diet. If your not concerned about carbs, it can be made with regular flour with the same results. This is a favorite at our house and I have guest that request I make it for entertaining.

I used regular all purpose flour and left out the mushrooms cause I don't like them and I was not really going for the low carb thing. Delicious chicken. Thanks sis!

Does your burner s/w have any diags or testers? If yes, run them and what are the results? Next, you seem to cover what should be done to try to recover, but if you have a truly used DVD drive or one of the cheaper drives installed, they simply don't last that long, a 1yrs worth of use, expect some problems.

Spatial average over a plane
I want to calculate the average of a physical quantity over a plane in the computational domain during the runtime (not for postprocessing).
For example: the average of pressure over the plane z=constant for a cubic computational domain.
Anyone who can tell me how to do it?:confused: It should be easy to realize this function, but I am new to OpenFOAM and I am not familiar with it.
It is quite easy:
- identify your patch
- loop over all the faces of your patch
- make your calculation
Your code can look like this:
label patchWall = mesh.boundaryMesh().findPatchID("wall"); //patchID = id of the patch wall
Thanks for your reply. Your code could be used to calculate the average on the boundary, but I am not sure if it is available for a given plane inside the computational domain. The plane over which the average is calculated is not necessarily a boundary.
Oh ok, then my code only works if you build the mesh with an interface.
Do you need your treatment in the solver ? Or do you simply need the value at the end of each iteration ?
In the second case, you can use a sampling function just like the lift and drag function. You can include it inside the Control file and it will write the result of your computation in a dedicated file as you run the simulation.
Have a look for swak4foam this could work
Runtime integration/averaging on a computational plane (NOT inlet/outlet patch)
I have the same question. I would greatly appreciate it if somebody can illustrate how to do this with some level of detail. michel1988, If you do come up with the answer (maybe with the guidance of fredo and Timo), please come back and leave the solution for others to learn from it. I have done this only in post-processing by resampling and integration using paraview. However, this is prone to errors, since no matter how fine you make your meshes (both model and measurement plane), the measurement errors persist (In my model example, I get that Ux at entry is 5% greater than Ux at exit from the duct). The resampling has to interpolate from one mesh to another and it basically sucks.
Did you try to play with the interpolation scheme of the sampling functions ? Some are more accurate than others.
Also, can you give more details about your case ? Maybe a picture of the mesh ? It would help us to find a technique suitable for your case.
And by the way, why do you want to do it at each time step ? To check the Mass Balance in your domain ?
Sorry for the unclear description of my problem. I just want to calculate the spatial average over the directions of homogeneity. For example, the streamwise and spanwise directions in channel flow. I want to employ the averaged information to a turbulence model. That why I need to do it at each time step.
Is it a structured of unstructured mesh ?
I know there is a command to find the closest cell center from a given point but the algorithm you have to build is a bit complicated. If it is a structured mesh, you can try to loop over the neighbors cells and make a displacement over "i" or "j".
The mesh is generated by blockMesh in OpenFOAM. So I think it should be unstructured mesh.
Somebody else in this thread already suggest swak4Foam. But I'll do it again: the snipplet in the following example for instance gives you the area-weighted average of the z-component of the velocity on a plane.
Would you be, by any chance, working on a model that requires the mean strain in the x-y plane at all z levels?
Not exactly but similarly. Although this kind of spatial average may not be necessary (sometimes it is possible to use time average instead), it is better when the flow is homogeneous in the specific directions.
Like michel1988, I am looking to implement this spatial averaging within a turbulence model. How would I go about invoking this function within the turbulence file? Also, since I wish to get the spatial average at every z level, if there a way to let the basepoint definition vary dynamically?
Please be more specific about "reference". Only then can I tell you what might work (there ARE ways to access swak-results from the solver. The question is whether it is worth the while for your application)
That is to say at z = 1, I need to get the averages of S_xy, S_xz, S_yz etc at this level and repeat for all z.
Then, having obtained the plane average tensor, I will use each strain to compute the respective tau_ij. I will also be using the double inner product of <S_ij> to obtain a scalar parameter.
Hence, I first need a runTime function that can do this plane average, then I will need to be able to use the calculated values in the turbulence model at each time step. So when I said "reference", I meant accessing/using the output of the plane averaging function.
Yes, thanks for the tip of looking into sampledPlane. I am working on generating the planes at every basepoint.
your code is used for averaging based on area, yes? Do you know how to average based on point value?

Buddhists plan major center on Lake Santa Fe property
Published: Tuesday, May 1, 2007 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 1, 2007 at 12:03 a.m.
Several years ago, one of the highest ranking Tibetan Buddhists in the world envisioned a retreat, monastery and teaching and meditation center close to Gainesville.
After several years of fundraising and a $1.275 million land purchase on Lake Santa Fe, the 17th Karmapa's vision is well on its way to becoming a reality.
Some Gainesville Tibetan Buddhists have plans to build a part-time residence, a monastery and a Tibetan cultural center for His Holiness Ogyen Trinley Dorje, the 17th Karmapa, who some believe to be the second-ranking Buddhist to the Dalai Lama. The site is a 143-acre waterfront lot on Lake Santa Fe off County Road 1469 near Earleton.
Watch video
The Alachua County Buddhists who have led fundraising efforts for the project said when the Florida Tibetan Buddhist Center is built within the next several years, it will draw Tibetan Buddhists from throughout the world.
"The center will make Gainesville a large destination on the international Buddhist scene," said Angela Pate of Gainesville's Tibetan Meditation Center. "It will put Gainesville on the map for the Buddhist community, without a doubt."
Gainesville Lama David Bole, a member of the board of directors for the Florida Tibetan Buddhist Center, said the Karmapa laid out a vision of a cultural center that's open to the community rather than a secluded retreat.
The Karmapa has one monastery and part-time home in Woodstock, N.Y. This would be the only other center of that magnitude in North America, Bole said.
"We try to subdue our feelings of pride and attachment, but I am just giddy about the opportunity to draw so many wonderful teachers to our community," said Angela Pate's husband, Millard Pate, also with Gainesville's Tibetan Meditation Center. "This will truly be a gem for North Central Florida."
Florida Dharma Retreat Center Inc. purchased the lakefront property for $1.275 million in 2005, according to Alachua County Property Appraiser records. The property appraiser's office lists $494,700 of the land's value as tax exempt because it will be used for churches or another religious purpose.
The land encompasses roughly 400 feet of shoreline, Bole said. A sleek brochure advertising the project describes plans to preserve acres of organic blueberries and cypress wetlands.
Tibetan Buddhism is only one branch of Buddhism, and there are several sects within Tibetan Buddhism, making it hard to determine how many Buddhists live in Alachua County.
But Bole, who works with Buddhists throughout the state, said it's safe to say that Gainesville has one of the largest concentrations of practicing Buddhists in the state.
And Millard Pate said the 125 people who gathered to hear Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen Rinpoche, also a high-ranking lama, speak in Gainesville last weekend shows the prominence of the religion locally.
On Monday, Khenchen said he was impressed with plans for the center, saying it will be "a great place for everybody who desires peace and happiness."
"From my own point of view, that place will be very special," he said.
Gainesville's Tibetan Buddhist community is still working to raise funds to pay off the land purchase, Bole said. After that, the group will start working to raise tens of millions of dollars to build the center's facilities, which could include a meditation and teaching center, short- and long-term retreat cabins for visiting Buddhist teachers and other guests and even single-family homes for members, Bole said.
"We still have a lot of hard work ahead," Bole said. "We hope that within five years, at least part of the center will be open for the community to use."
There is another obstacle to the Karmapa's vision. His travel has been restricted since he fled Tibet for India several years ago, so Bole said there's no telling when he'll actually be able to travel to the Lake Santa Fe retreat.
The Karmapa currently lives in the Dalai Lama's monastery in Dharamsala, India.
But Bole said he has faith the Karmapa will find a way to Alachua County in the near future.
"When I saw the Karmapa in Dharamsala, he told us we would have success with this project, and that he yes, he would come here," Bole said. "When he does come, it will be more than a local phenomenon - it will be a national event."

HOWARDS HYDRAULIC OE ROLLER, (STEP NOSE) CAMSHAFT .600/.581 LIFT .251/.255 DURATION @.050" LOBE SEP: 110º
This cam has a regular size base circle. See our other listings for this cam in a reduced base circle size for use in engines using a 4.00 stroke crank.
PART # 186755-10 For use in oe roller blocks.
Part # 116755-10 Retro style. For use in early style blocks.
Part # "S" at the end of the part number is for the small base version of a cam very similar to this profile.
Valve lift with 1.5 Rockers: Intake .600/Exhaust .581
Duration @.050": Intake .251/Exhaust .255
All Howards™ Cams use the highest-grade race quality cores available. Howards™ Cams are manufactured on dedicated high precision CNC cam grinding machines.
The cam gear is compatible with any standard steel or cast iron distributor gear. No bronze distributor needed. This cam is considered an OEM style, meaning it must be used in a roller block; it cannot be used with a non roller block. Retro style cams are available in our other listings. This auction is for the OEM style roller cam. Many camshaft accessories available in our other listings.
This cam is to be used on sbc engines that are equipped for factory roller cams. These blocks came out in the late 80's in the Corvette and early 90's in the Chevy trucks. As you know, all of the sbc roller engines in this era were throttle body or tune port injection. This cam may not be compatible with those setups, but many are using the oe roller blocks and running a carbureted setup and this cam is well suited on those type setups.
We have used this profile on many different buildups with amazing results. The dyno results are listed below, and show many different engine sizes and combinations.
If you would like expert cam recommendations for your engine, contact us (through the "seller information" tab or through our tech line, 423-722-5152) with the information listed below. We will tell you what cam is best suited for you. Running a cam that is too big in a given combination is not only pointless for making increased power, but creates a increased loss of drivability and unnecessary wear on the valve train. You must have sufficient cubic inch and/or compression ratio, coupled with correct size cylinder heads that will allow enough flow, to justify a particular size cam. Bottom-end and mid-range performance are always affected when you increase cam size, but it would be affected even more if a cam selection is over-sized to the point that no top-end power is gained. So choosing too large of a cam becomes a two-fold problem. Tuning also becomes more difficult with larger than needed cams.
For a recommendation on the best cam for you, please contact us with us the following information:
All Howards cams use the highest-grade race quality billets available. The hydraulic and mechanical flat tappet camshafts are 100% Rockwell checked and Parkerized to ensure the highest quality control standards available anywhere. Howard's Cams is proud of its equipment, manufacturing all of its cams on dedicated high precision cam grinding machines.
Howards maintains these exacting standards right through the shipping process. All Howards camshafts are packaged and shipped in a unique, hard, high impact, reusable plastic case. This ensures that that you, our customer receives your new Howard's Cam in the same exacting condition it left our factory.
We have posted actual dyno results below of several different size engines with various combinations of intakes and cylinder heads using this cam. The dyno report will tell what size and brand of cylinder heads used, single or dual plane intake, rocker ratio, carb size, and total timing. These are all pump gas engines for street and strip use. Our experience is vast with these cams. Few if anyone selling cams will have actual results to post. We are also going to list the characteristics of this cam, such as drivability, often referred to as street manners, as well as what stall converter is recommended and final gearing for a particular engine size.
Correct lifters to use with this cam: Howards # 91160 Max Effort tie-bar lifters. Regular low cost drop in street grade hyd. roller lifters will not perform with this cam. Even the regular street series tie-bar lifters will not do well with this cam. If you think you're going to be running in the upper rpm range (6300), then you need to invest in the Max Effort tie-bar lifters for sure. The regular Howards tie-bar street lifters encounter light valve float right at 6000 rpm in our engines. This cam lift and duration, coupled with high rpm, demands a semi race grade lifter to avoid valve float, and the Max Effort lifters are excellent for this. Comp Short Travel lifters are also an excellent choice, but they require greater spring pressure to operate at their best. We prefer the Howards Max Effort lifters. They are also much quieter than many of the race grade lifters on the market. Our experience on the dyno has proven this.
As each cam we offer gets larger in lift and duration, we offer different lifter recommendations if you have noticed. Lifter requirements are based on cam size in lift and duration, and what rpm range they will run up to in a given combination. Also add to this the spring pressure you're running can make a difference on what lifters you will be able to run.
Increased spring pressure on the nose of a cam is a great defense against valve float, but some street lifters do not operate well with this pressure. Our next size up cam from this has different recommendations than this cam. It is very important to heed our warning about using incorrect lifters. It's not just about low grade lifters, it's also about lifters that are not designed for high lift/high rpm applications. We use five different grades of hydraulic lifters in our engine program.
Recommendations on using this cam in a 383 or larger pump gas street rod engine.
This cam, coupled with our single plane intake and our forged pistons with 1.6 rockers, will produce right at 570 horsepower at approx. 6,700 RPM on a 11.2 compression ratio 383 engine using our NKB cyl. heads. You would obtain close to the same hp numbers with our one step down size numbers in a 383 with normal compression ratio numbers. This cam is better suited in a 406 or larger cubic inch build. This cam requires a minimum of 11.5:1 compression ratio in a 383 but could use more to gain its full potential. The compression ratio requirements go down in larger cubic inch builds. This cam is an excellent choice in 421, 427, and 434 engine builds, for pump gas street rod use. We do not even offer this cam in our 383 or 406 engine builds for street use. The optimal compression requirements are higher than what is safe for pump gas use in our opinion, but when used in the 421 or larger cubic inch builds, the compression requirements are much less, and drivability is much better.
This cam is capable of making over 600 hp in the 421 or larger engines on pump gas with compression ranges in the mid tens, providing you have a decent set of heads. Our NKB 200cc heads actually broke into the 600 hp range on one particular engine build with this cam. If you do decide to run this cam in an engine with a 4.00 stroke crank, then you will need the small base circle version. You will see an "S" at the end of the part number for the small base circle cams. See our other listings for these type cams. For those running a 3.875 stroke or less, you can run the normal base circle cam with proper rod clearance.
We recommend a stall converter of around 3000-3500 for any 383 or 406 engine build. Stall requirements are less on larger cubic inch engine builds. Final gearing would need to be at 3.55 or numerically higher. The weight of your car is also a factor as what your final gear should be. This cam does make very good overall power, but would be considered very aggressive in a 383 or 406. The idle sound with this cam is very erratic (lopey) when used in a 383 or 406.
You would not be able to run overdrive, power brakes, or air conditioning with this cam in a 383 or 406. Valve train life and reliability are reduced with this cam as compared to lower lift and duration cams. This cam puts your setup into the Pro-Street league when used in a 383 or 406.
Drivability is radical with this cam in a 383 or 406 engine build.
If your car is over 3600 lbs, we advise against the use of this cam, unless you have a deeper than normal final gear. If your engine build is a 406 or larger, this cam will be somewhat tamer and more suitable in heavy or taller geared vehicles.
Our dyno results are very accurate. As time goes by, you will see more dyno results posted below of engines using this cam with various combinations. We use a group of approximately 5 sbc hyd. roller cams in our engine program. We tested many profiles over the years. This group of cams has outperformed many others with consideration to drivability. There are many cams on the market with similar profiles that do not perform anywhere close to the cams we have chosen.
Below are dyno results on various engine sizes and combinations with this cam. The specifics for each dyno run are found in the upper left-hand corner of the test description graphic. The horse power numbers will usually improve anywhere from 5-10 more than what the dyno results show after the rings have fully seated.
Official Dyno report on our 427 engine with this cam and a single plane intake.
This engine has a 4.00 stroke crank, and uses the small base version of this cam. Same or near identical profile. This cam makes very impressive power considering it's a hydraulic roller style cam. We use it in most of our 421, 427 and 434 engines as cam choice 1

Conformity Analysis
Northeastern Illinois does not attain national ambient air quality standards for certain pollutants. It is classified as a marginal non-attainment area for the 8-hour ozone standard, and a non-attainment area for the annual fine particulate matter (PM2.5) standard. The region must implement a transportation program which will help to reduce levels of these pollutants to national standards.
Nonattainment areas are designated by the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) based, in part, on recommendations from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA). IEPA's recommendation follows US EPA guidelines for identifying nonattainment areas. This includes not just monitor data, but also emissions data, urbanization patterns, meteorology, and so on. Technical information on this process can be found on the IEPA website.
Nonattainment areas are established independent of metropolitan planning organization or metropolitan planning area boundaries. For example, the northeastern Illinois nonattainment area includes two counties in northwest Indiana, and a small area of southeast Wisconsin. The Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission and Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission handle conformity requirements for those two areas.
As part of the transportation planning and programming process, CMAP staff evaluates the impact of proposed transportation activities on the region's air quality. This evaluation, called a conformity analysis, is submitted to IEPA and US EPA for their review before a long-range regional transportation plan or Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is approved. The conformity analysis must demonstrate that the emissions resulting from the plan or TIP meet the requirements of (i.e., "conform to") the regulations governing air quality.
Some individual transportation projects must be evaluated for local air quality impacts, commonly called a "hot spot analysis." Projects that are subject to hot spot analysis are called, "projects of air quality concern." They involve significant levels of diesel vehicle traffic, or are identified in a PM2.5 or PM10 State Implementation Plan as a localized air quality concern. Hot spot analysis is conducted by the agency implementing the project as part of the environmental assessment process.
Interagency consultation is required under the transportation conformity rule, as described in 40 CFR 51.402. In the northeastern Illinois region, these procedures are addressed through the Tier II Consultation process. Decisions made through this interagency consultation process guide the MPO in making conformity determinations.
Current Conformity Analysis
The current conformity analysis, covering the GO TO 2040 Plan Update and FY 2014 – 2019 Transportation Improvement Program, consists of these documents:
Conformity Amendments
The conformity analysis is updated semi-annually. Updates are initiated with the submittal of TIP changes by project sponsors. The staff analysis of the required changes is reviewed by the Transportation Committee and released for a 30-day public comment period. Comments are addressed and reviewed by the Transportation Committee and approved by the MPO Policy Committee. USDOT and IDOT provide final approval of the amendments.

Public Comment
The CMAP Transportation Committee has released a conformity amendment to the FFY 2014-19 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). This amendment is open for a public comment, from August 4, 2017 to September 4, 2017. Conformity analysis is part of the transportation modeling process that evaluates the impact on air quality of projects in GO TO 2040 and the FFY 2014-19 TIP as amended. On-road vehicle emissions are reviewed in certain years to determine that the region will reach national air quality goals. Please review the cover memo and list of conformity amendments.

PITTSBURGH -- The Steelers are still feeling the effects of their 19-16 win over the Ravens, and they will have to work through what coach Mike Tomlin called a "laundry list of injuries" as they prepare for a game at Oakland.
The Steelers got good and bad news on the injury front in regard to inside linebacker Lawrence Timmons.
Timmons, who tied a career-high with 17 tackles in the win over the Ravens, also broke his left hand in the second half of the game. He has been fitted for a cast and Tomlin said the seventh-year veteran is "ready to go."
"He has full mobility in all of his fingers," Tomlin said Tuesday at his weekly news conference.
Tomlin is optimistic that right tackle Marcus Gilbert will be able to play at Oakland and even practice this week even though he is dealing with a right quadriceps injury.
Gilbert re-aggravated the injury early in the Ravens game, and Guy Whimper played the rest of the way at right tackle.
A number of Steelers will be limited in practice this week, including left tackle Kelvin Beachum (ribs), outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley (knee), defensive end Brett Keisel (ribs) and wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery (abdomen).
Defensive end Cameron Heyward was sent home Monday because of an illness, but Tomlin said he is expected to play against the Raiders.
Rookie wide receiver Markus Wheaton (finger) will miss his third consecutive game while tight end Richard Gordon (toe) is questionable for Sunday, Tomlin said.

WA beef producers will hopefully gain from IGA Fresh's new $12 million meat centre which was unveiled last week.
The centre is designed to consolidate the entire supply chain from carcase to packaging in the one place and give IGA Fresh a boost in its fight for a slice of the fresh food retail pie.
It is situated in Canning Vale and will replace the two existing IGA operations in Osborne Park and Malaga.
The new centre has the capacity to process 30,000 beef carcases a year, which is 10,000 carcases more than what IGA Fresh was processing at its Malaga and Osborne Park plants.
All beef will be sourced from WA.
IGA Fresh chief executive Harry Rumpler said the meat centre was not just a major step forward for IGA but a major step forward for the independents businesses throughout Australia.
"This is the first tailor-made meat centre built for independents in Australia," Mr Rumpler said.
"This is our first meat facility and this is an important snapshot for the independents of this country."
Mr Rumpler said the facility was an important step for the independent grocers in trying to compete with Woolworths and Coles.
"This is not just about the company's Supa IGA stores, this is about all independents," he said.
"I have a belief that every Supa IGA should have its own butcher in-house because that is how you compete against the two big gorillas (Coles and Woolworths) out there."
The meat centre is a multi-purpose facility and will include processes for beef, pork and lamb.
The facility also includes a high capacity carcase boning room, a retail ready production room, a sausage production room, injection production room, value adding room and is Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP)-compliant.
"We had the opportunity to build this site anywhere in Australia but we just felt the WA retailers understood what we were trying to do," he said.
"The main aim of Supa IGA is to reduce the costs for local IGA businesses.
"So we needed to come up with a strategy to be able to deliver what the IGA businesses wanted and what their customers wanted and that is what the facility is all about."
Mr Rumpler said it was a facility IGA needed to have to compete in today's marketplace.
He said it was about reducing the cost of doing business at a store level.
IGA Fresh general manager for meat and seafood Brett Pickering said the new facility would help support WA farmers and provide high quality products at competitive prices to IGA customers and other independent stores throughout WA.
"The centre will process and prepare meat products into a wide variety of fresh meat cuts, sausage and burger products, marinated and corned meats and other meat products for packaging into retail-ready packs for retail sale," Mr Pickering said.
"The IGA Fresh Canning Vale meat centre will assist in the future development opportunities of all independent meat departments.
"The meat centre has the capacity to process high volumes of meat products each year and by updating our technology and consolidating the two existing sites, we are now able to offer independent retailers the full support they require to satisfy the needs of their customers."
Commerce Minister Simon O'Brien, who was also on hand to open the building, said it was a celebration for optimism and investment into the future.
"Ultimately we want to come away with a vibrant small business sector which does offer choice, which doesn't give it all to the one or two gorillas," Mr O'Brien said.
"The gorillas are alright, they have got their place but the thing is we need all sorts in our marketplace to ensure we have the best competition and the best options available for all of our citizens."
He said the new complex reinforces IGA's long-held pride in delivering the best and the freshest local produce to WA consumers.
He said it would be a major boost to the local economy.
"The plant will employ about 80 people directly and create further jobs for others involved in the supply and distribution of fresh food," he said.
"More than 240 IGA businesses and another 20 independent retailers will benefit from this 2500m2 state-of-the-art meat processing facility.
Mr O'Brien said the new facility would provide WA consumers with top quality produce while supporting local cattle farmers hit hard by the recent live export ban to Indonesia.

Client occasionally receives money for scrap metal but says he never receives a receipt or any paperwork and is not sure whether he should be paying VAT on these proceeds?
Does anyone have a link to which a spectrum of "specific" items can be reviewed for their VAT treatment or is it a case of telephoning the VAT advice line?
Please login or register to join the discussion.
Margin Scheme, Global Accounting Scheme
The sale of scrap may well qualify for special VAT relief under the Margin Scheme further assisted by using the Global Accounting Method where qualified to do so.
This is particularly useful when the scrap is bought without VAT as the output tax is computed on the selling price minus the purchase price rather than on the selling price.
I believe the individual purchased item has to cost £500 or less to be dealt with under the global accounting scheme.
The advantage of the global accounting scheme is that record-keeping is simplified, ie. no stock book has to be maintained.
When the goods are sold there is no VAT invoice to the customer, instead an invoice endorsed "sold under the margin scheme" (or something similar) is issued.
The customer cannot reclaim VAT back on a margin scheme purchase, but they can themselves sell the goods on under the margin scheme thus they then pay VAT on the margin rather than full selling price.
Whether the above applies in your case depends upon how the scrap is acquired by the seller in the first place.
If not qualifying for the margin scheme then I would expect the sale to be fully liable to VAT, unless as mentioned already it's gold where a special sceme is available whereby the bullion dealer buying the scrap gold self-accounts for the output tax that otherwise would be payable by the seller.
Is Neill's scrap metal precious? If so that is probably the reason for no VAT
The default is that all supplies are subject to standard rate VAT unless specifically zero-rated, reduced rated, exempt or outside the scope of VAT. I am not aware of any specific exception for metal, scrap or otherwise. If your client is VAT registered (or would exceed the current registration threshold of £67,000 if his sales of scrap metal were included with his other sales), he must account for VAT on his sales of scrap metal at 7/47 of his proceeds. It is up to him to raise a VAT invoice if the customer requests one, but the absence of paperwork does not avoid the legal requirement for him to pay over VAT on the sale.
you know
your advice should be fot your client to keep accurate records of sales which includes sales of metal scrap. There is little doubt that these sales also need to be treated as VAT inclusive. Why doesn't he issue invoices to the scrap dealer and add VAT to the amount he gets paid?
You could have an MLR problem if your client doesn't play ball

- Description
About the Officina Stellare RiDK Astrographs…
Officina Stellare is one of today's leaders in the production of high quality astronomy equipment for the discerning professional or advanced amateur. Their products can be found in observatories around the world, and their high speed tracking lens systems are a relied upon component in the industries of aerospace and defense.
The RiDK 300 (Riccardi Dall-Kirkham) represents the new reference point for all modified Dall-Kirkham instruments available on the market today. Massimo Riccardi, Chief Optical Designer at Officina Stellare, has the unique experience and creativity required to imagine and build a 300mm astrograph of superior performance and resulting image quality. The RiDK 300 is a system that delivers a 60mm fully corrected, flat field and an imaging performance that is diffraction limited across the entire field over a wide spectral range (380nm to 2000nm). These outstanding optics are mounted inside a state-of-the art Officina Stellare open truss tube made of zero expandsion carbon fiber; the same high quality optical tube assembly used in all Officina Stellare open truss-style telescopes the world over.
The Officina Stellare RiDK 300 is manufactured from start to finish in Italy. The optics are made in the Occhiobello Plant under the strict quality control of Massimo Riccardi, Officina's own optical designer. The mechanics of the telescope were designed by Giovanni Dal Lago, and are engineered, manufactured and assembled at the Thiene plant.
The OS RiDK 300 is the ultimate astro-imaging telescope for anyone who desires the best equipment when it comes to the imaging of deep sky wonders. It is a beautiful, compact and perfectly manufactured optical instrument, and the long back focus allows the mounting of rotators, cameras, filter wheels, and other imaging accessories.
The RiDK 300mm comes with four Losmandy style dovetails mounted on the truss for mounting versatility. Three ventilation fans are part of the design, which helps the telescope reach ambient temperature as quickly as possible.
Unlike a standard Officina Stellare truss tube design which is both aluminum and carbon fiber, this full carbon tube model. Made entirely out of carbon fiber, the optical tube is exceptionally temperature stable which is optimal in research and imaging applications where stability is crucial.

A beautiful and provocative love story between two unlikely people and the hard-won relationship that elevates them above the Midwestern meth lab backdrop of their lives.
As the daughter of a drug dealer, Wavy knows not to trust people, not even her own parents. It's safer to keep her mouth shut and stay out of sight.
Struggling to raise her little brother, Donal, eight-year-old Wavy is the only responsible adult around. Obsessed with the constellations, she finds peace in the starry night sky above the fields behind her house until one night her stargazing causes an accident. After witnessing his motorcycle wreck, she forms an unusual friendship with one of her father's thugs, Kellen, a tattooed ex-con with a heart of gold.
By the time Wavy is a teenager, her relationship with Kellen is the only tender thing in a brutal world of addicts and debauchery. When tragedy rips Wavy's family apart, a well-meaning aunt steps in, and what is beautiful to Wavy looks ugly under the scrutiny of the outside world.
A powerful novel you won't soon forget, Bryn Greenwood's All the Ugly and Wonderful Things challenges all we know and believe about love.
©2016 Bryn Greenwood (P)2016 Audible, Inc.
"Jorjeana Marie was meant to narrate this gripping story, which takes place in meth country in the Midwest. Neglected, abused 8-year-old Wavy Quinn is stargazing when she unintentionally causes Jesse Joe Kellen, an ex-con employee of her drug-dealing dad, to crash his motorcycle. Marie grippingly portrays this troubled pair who befriend each other after Wavy saves his life. Things come to a head when their relationship is misunderstood. In addition to deftly presenting the lead characters, Marie perfectly renders Wavy's adorable little brother and beloved grandmother. Some chapters are written from other characters' viewpoints over a period of 15 years, and Marie presents those flawlessly as well. Listeners will be eager to hear what happens next, always rooting for Wavy and Kellen." (AudioFile Magazine)
"So many 'hard to listen to' moments"
This is difficult to review. I wasn't initially captivated by the provided synopsis, but I got the book because so may reviewers had written to just get it. I read several reviews, and I can go back and check again, but I don't remember any that warned of the extremely graphic and vulgar language used to describe sexual acts. Put that little cherry on top that many are spoken by a girl no older than 14 years, who is experiencing them with a 24 year old man. I'm not sure I can express myself in a way that conveys my sincere distaste for those moments and there were plenty.
So, now you know. If you think you can look beyond it, there is a decent story here. But I can definitely say, it wasn't for me. Knowing what I know now, I would have passed on this one.
Love to listen to audiobooks!
"I'm In The Minority!"
Contains some spoilers:
This was a hard story for me to rate and review. On one hand, the story was well written and I loved hearing all the different POV's, on the other hand, you have a 13 year young girl who's had hard life, and ends up developing feelings for an older man who has been there for her since she was eight. I've listened to several audios about young girls developing feelings for older men and I have to admit those stories were tastefully done and the things progress closer to a legal age. I do understand all the five star reviews, but I had mixed feelings about THIS story.Yes, Wavy had a hard life, grew up faster than most, but the whole story to me was on the depressing side. I felt the HEA, really wasn't that happy.
The plot was well written, descriptive, kept me right on the edge wondering what was going to happen next, and the character development was great, but overall I can only give this story two stars due sexual content of a 13 year with an older man. I know this is a fictional, and preteens/teens are sexual. I also personally know someone close to me who was pregnant at 13, married by 14 and has been happily married to the same person for the past 21 years, but this happened with someone close to their age and not an adult.
Jorjeana Marie did an amazing job narrating this story! There are some many characters, and emotions, this story had to be a challenge narrate.
"Difficult to see the wonderful among the ugly"
Probably not-
It was a tragic love story, but since I have a 14-year old daughter, I could not help but to identify with the aunt's perspective.
It was disturbing to me; glad others enjoyed it but I did not.
I have listened to many, many audible books and this is my first review. I do not see much wonderful in this sad, disturbing story. I almost wish I hadn't read it! But i know I'm in the minority. Maybe not for women with teenage daughters!
"Very strange -odd"
I was very uncomfortable with this book. 13 year old girl in love with a biker and describing her sexual feelings - the biker also in love with her?? Basically paedophilia.
"Simple writing."
This is narrative driven, and simple.
The writing, and the story, are pedestrian and one dimensional. I found it boring and distasteful.
As long as I have my Audible, I'm content.
"Just like the title - ugly and wonderful"
Eight hours into this 11 hour book and I was thinking I had wasted a credit; I couldn't stop listening, but I wasn't happy. Then it ended and all of a sudden this wave of emotion hit me like a freight train. That never happens. What a weird book! The first part is beautiful, then it gets uncomfortable, then it makes you question everything you thought you knew about relationships and family, then it gets like a bargain bin book, then it just sneaks up on you and crumples you. It never panders to your emotions. It doesn't care what you think. Definitely worth the credit. And definitely worth the time!
"Not a love story everyone will love"
I say be warned. The writing is beautiful and the story is something everyone would obsess over if it wasn't for the big detail of *when* the love story actually happens. If it wasn't for this detail, I'd probably love the book. But overall I'm just grossed out and not sold. Sex with children being portrayed as a love story isn't for me, no matter the circumstances or justification behind it.
Short fuse
"A brave departure from the norm"
The story line is a refreshing change from assembly line romance tales. The main protagonists are damaged and unglamorous. Some readers might even find the gradual development of their relationship disturbing due to the age gap and the squalor of their surroundings, yet the author persuades us that something of beauty can still grow in the ugliest of circumstances. There is neither a handsome Prince nor sexually skilled billionaire to fuel a reader's girlish daydreams here. Instead a random act of kindness to a child generates a feeling of responsibility which, over a period of years, develops into an attraction destined to raise concerns. This was not an easy subject to tackle and I applaud the author for taking us in a new direction. I look forward to more books from this source.
"What did I get myself into"
Well there is some sexual assault a romantic relationship between 13 year old and an adult. Graphic assault scenes. If I had known I wouldn't have bought it. I get that this is a real exploration but with my history a little too real
"Read this book."
No, really. Just read it. Don't read up on it more, don't look for spoilers, just one-click, and read/ press play, whatever. You're welcome all the way.
"Truly Addictive"
Whoa! I don't think I've ever been as affected by a book or ever thought about a book constantly like I did with this. Contrary to many views I did not struggle with the content at all (I can understand why maybe some people would), I was constantly on tender-hooks waiting for something bad to happen, expecting things to get out of hand at any turn. So many emotions, so much happening. Told in multiple POVs, the story is gritty, tense and beautifully written. The story follows the obsessive relationship between Wavy (age 8) and Kellen who is about 12 years her senior. Wavy's family life leaves a lot to be desired, her parents are abusive and neglectful. Wavy doesn't speak and doesn't like being touched by anyone, until Kellen. He is her protector, her friend, her confidant and as the years go by, their feelings become more....... One of my favourite reads of the year. I loved it.
"Weird and wonderful."
I have been consumed by this book from the get go. I liked the way the story was moved along by the different characters.
"Creeped me out. Dislikable characters"
This was well written but depressing and made my skin crawl in parts. I don't understand how a grown man can fall in love with an 8 year old girl and start to get physically involved with her at 13?? It was put to the reader as an almost Romeo and Juliet scenario, well, they were no star-crossed lovers to me. He should've acted appropriately if he truly cared about her. I felt like the author was trying to make me warm to Kellen, but I just couldn't get on board with his actions and was willing him to go to prison or die. And although I felt sympathy for Wavy as she was neglected by her mum, she is immensely irritating. Refuses to talk and runs around like a flipping animal and being horrible and dismissive of everyone - she drove me crazy. I spent a lot of time willing someone to give her a good slap. I didn't particularly like any of the characters except maybe Amy - Wavy's cousin.
"Couldn't stop listening"
Having read the reviews for this book I was full of anticipation and wasn't disappointed. The author deals with difficult social issues sensitively when from the child's perspective. A firm favourite with strong lead characters that are both gritty and endearing.
"Simply Stunning"
One of my favourite reads of the year! Exceptional plotting, characterisation and beautifully written. A must read. Five easy stars.
"I was scared to read this book but"
It is wonderful! This is a brilliant story about love and hard lives. I would urge anyone to take the plunge and discover the depths inside.
"Great controversial book"
narration was great, kept me at the edge of my seat
Wavy's selfless love to Kellen
this is great book, it wasn't something i have expected to be honest. its very controversial, and possibly depending on your opinion it can make or break this book for you.<br/>it also opens up your eyes to the other side of what might seam to be very Wrong.
"Favourite book of the year so far!!"
I loved this story because of the discomfort I felt while reading not despite of..
This author gave us a story that is original not only in it's content but in the way it's written as well.

Well I wear everyday a t-shirt jeans van type of shoes and a sweatshirt. I really have wanted to change to a more preppy look, wearing a v-neck sweater with a dress shirt under neath with darker colored jeans. Would this be to big of a change, and would people think its a bad or good change, because i don't want to look stupid. And ladies out there if there was a guy you liked that did this would it make you more attracted or less?
Most Helpful Girl
V-neck sweaters on guys are soo cute :) <3
And they look less of a dick than guys who wear long socks and over-sized shorts.
I say do it, and don't give a shizzle about what other people say.
Or I recommend switching the styles around, or even putting them together.
Because in my opinion, the styles aren't so different from each other.11|00|0

I will say this: natural red hair, award winning chef (2nd place beans at the family reunion) who's competed on the national stage (Frankenfood), and world class mechanical genius. Seriously I'm like click and clack, tell me the sound your car is making and I will tell you what's wrong. I have lots of free time at the moment and would love someone to share it with, to share some adventures.
I'm good at adventures...
I prefer a more dominant man, enjoy a good spanking now and then and I'm not opposed to being put in a cage. I am in a Lesbian marriage but would enjoy the company of the right man for fun and romance.
I am also a Post-op trans-woman. That means I have all the right bits in all the right places, and by god they all work! So just chill and don't let that little tidbit freak you out because I'm more fun than you can imagine and I will make you happy. Give me a chance.
I feed pigs and chickens, work on little projects around the farm, and just generally enjoy my time with my grandkids.
Identifying exactly what's wrong with your car by listening to it.
Helpin people find their smile and perhaps a little peace and happiness.
never hurts when they notice my ass either..:)
In books I'm really into sci-fi space operas with a strong female lead. Jean Johnson or Thomas Deprima for example. For TV it has to be animated, life is real enough and has plenty of drama, I see no need to watch others pretend to experience it.
Movies...superheroes. Why not they're fun.
Humanitarian things
Political things
Farm things
Fun things
Family things
I am married to a wonderful WOMAN [JoAnnsAdventure] thus the married marker below my name, we have always been open and she has no issues with me dating men, she does prefer me to date dominant men simply because she knows that's what makes me happy and otherwise I'm too much of a handful for any man.
Oh and please write the word
"Ossenworst" in your message to let me know you are real.
Love Vivian; can't wait to hear from you.

Les réfugiés de guerre dans la société française (1914-1946)
[fre] Lors de la Grande Guerre, de la Guerre d'Espagne et au début de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la société française dut absorber de nombreux réfugiés, parmi lesquels les nationaux occupaient une place importante entre 1914 et 1918 et en 1939-1940. Les tensions observées entre les populations autochtones et ces réfugiés sont révélatrices des replis communautaires au moment des guerres et de l'exacerbation de la «culture de guerre» en présence de «rapatriés» ayant été en contact avec l'ennemi pendant la Grande Guerre et des Alsaciens-Mosellans en 1939-1940. [eng] During World War I, Spain War and World War II, French society had to absorb refugees, including many French citizens between 1914 and 1918 and in 1939-1940. The tensions between native people and refugees prove the communautarist withdrawals during the wars ant the increase of "war's culture" in front of "rapatriâtes" , who had lived with the enemy during WWI, andAlsatians in 1939-1940.
