"In sum, you will see this legendarily private filmmaker up close and personal, charming and candid, and, yes, funny…a feast for all Woody fans and anyone else who is interested in a prolific, persistent artist's creative world" San Francisco Chronicle
Iconic writer, director, actor, comedian, and musician Woody Allen allows his life and creative process to be documented on-camera for the first time. With this unprecedented access, Emmy®-winning, Oscar®-nominated filmmaker Robert Weide follows the notoriously private film legend over a year and a half to create the ultimate film biography.
Beginning with Allen's childhood, WOODY ALLEN: A DOCUMENTARY chronicles the trajectory and longevity of Allen's career, from his work as a TV scribe, standup comedian and frequent TV talk show guest, to a writer-director averaging one film-per-year for more than 40 years. Director Weide covers Allen's earliest film work in Take the Money and Run, Bananas, Sleeper, and Love and Death; frequent Oscar® favorites such as Annie Hall, Manhattan, Zelig, Broadway Danny Rose, Purple Rose of Cairo, Crimes and Misdemeanors, Husbands & Wives, Bullets Over Broadway, and Mighty Aphrodite; and his recent globetrotting phase with Match Point, Vicky Cristina Barcelona and his latest success, Midnight in Paris.
Features interviews with: Antonio Banderas, Josh Brolin, Penelope Cruz, John Cusack, Larry David, Mariel Hemingway, Scarlett Johansson, Julie Kavner, Diane Keaton, Martin Landau, Louise Lasser, Sean Penn, Tony Roberts, Chris Rock, Mira Sorvino, Naomi Watts, Dianne Wiest, Owen Wilson, Dick Cavett and Martin Scorsese

Pyrex Partners With Chef Christina Tosi For Delicious New Designs
Pyrex containers offer more than just a practical solution to storing holiday leftovers. The classic cookware brand's pretty patterns attract plenty of fans. Now Pyrex has introduced a new design in partnership with pastry chef and author Christina Tosi, featuring lively black-and-white line art and a kiss of personality.
The Best Food and Drink in Every State
Tosi has a tasty resume: She's a pastry chef, founder and owner of 15 Milk Bar stores across North America, author of three cookbooks including October 2018's "All About Cake," and a current judge on "MasterChef Junior" and former judge of "MasterChef." Her Milk Bar is a chain of dessert and bakery restaurants, famous for such desserts as Tosi's Cereal Milk, a soft-serve dessert she invented in 2007 to mimic the flavor of milk left behind in a cereal bowl.
The dishes that bear her name feature simple black-and-white lines and circles and Tosi's own signature, "XO Tosi," written in her handwriting.
"Pyrex is one of my favorite kitchen essentials - so I was incredibly excited to collaborate with them, especially in conjunction with Milk Bar's 10th birthday," Tosi said in a press release. "I'm all about fun, rule-breaking baking. We wanted to create a collection that captured this spirit with my personal touch - and looks super cute!"
The Tosi Decorated Storage line includes four four-cup containers, all with different designs, and made of pure, non-porous glass. They're priced at $9 each, and are available only for a limited time at Pyrexware.com and Milk Bar flagship stores in Los Angeles and the Logan Circle neighborhood of Washington, DC.
Corning Glass Works released its first Pyrex products in 1915, and they've been a classic part of American cooking ever since. The line's iconic patterns are so well-known that some fans are choosing to get Pyrex-inspired tattoos. If homey kitchen traditions are your cup of tea, check out what dinner was like at home 50 years ago.

text: I have been wanting to do a post since AH crashed a few days ago to let you all know what happened. My first priority was to get AH back up and running with everything intact as soon as possible. It took me, along with six others, literally working day and night from three different continents to bring AH back to life after being viciously hacked. I have strong reason to believe that we were hacked by an organization paid by an anti hunting group to take us down. I will tell you that for the better part of a day I thought that all of the contents of the forum as well as the integrity of the site had been lost and that was a very sick feeling!!! I have mentioned in the past that AH has a strong security and back up system and that I have now upgraded the site to the highest level available by adding a fully managed robust Terabyte backup solution that provides continuous data protection and off-site disaster recovery for Dedicated Servers. AH will also as of next week be increasing its' primary hard drive to a Terabyte including a faster SSD drive, which will mean better loading speeds for you since the site has been growing so quickly. This has all been very costly so tell your friends in the hunting industry that we need sponsors to help support the site! Aside from this hacking job, anti hunters have been assaulting us on every level from endless "fake" spam posts (which are just an irritant and a waste of time for me and BRICKBURN) for kitchen supplies and other nonsense to behind the scenes stuff where they engage automated queries to overwhelm and compromise the good operation and speed of the site. I have not shared with you guys what has been going on as I have always thought that bringing that negative energy to AH would not be good. But after what I/AH has just been through, I thought you guys should know. There are several extreme anti-hunting groups that have put a target on our backs but I for one will not be intimidated. I have received at least 70 hate emails including ones with death threats to myself and my family since November. However this is nothing new to me, I have been getting 3-4 emails like these every month for several years, what is new is the intensity and number. This increase directly coincides with a few posts that were made on Facebook in the beginning of November by a couple of anti hunting groups, which stole photos from my outfitting website posted them on their pages and made false claims about my outfit. These Facebook groups are not just doing this to me and AH, they are using hunting photos stolen from all over the web to spread false information and to stimulate support and donations. As soon as I became aware of these posts and photos that were being used without my permission I asked Facebook to remove them, which they did. I thought they had been permanently removed until I received an email from Facebook which quite literally blew my mind saying that they had reinstated the photos and discussion as a matter of "public importance". I am still fighting with them to have these photos removed and have sent them a cease and desist letter, we'll see where that goes. Anyway, I have been considering starting a thread with the hate mail that I receive and allowing any of you to post your anti hunter experiences or hate mail, etc. Do you think there would be anything positive to gain by doing this or would it just bring negativity? I must admit that some of them are quite entertaining if just for the sheer ignorance displayed by some of the people. Let me know what you think?

Passengers aboard an American Eagle flight to Chicago were treated Wednesday for injuries sustained during the flight, officials said. The Chicago Fire Department confirmed several people aboard Flight 3720 were treated after "severe turbulence."
Department of Aviation spokeswoman Karen Pride said the flight left from New Orleans just before 7:30 a.m. and landed safely at O'Hare International Airport at 9:30 a.m.
Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said head injuries were minor and two people declined hospitalization. One person was transported to a local hospital. The turbulence occurred on descent while the plane traveled from 31,000 to 29,000 feet.
American Airlines spokeswoman Mary Frances Fagan confirmed the flight hit turbulence en route to Chicago and said the fire department met the plane at O'Hare. She said 26 passengers and four crew members were on board.

- American Airlines: Installation Job Caused Seat Snafu
The incident follows issues at the airline last fall because of a loose-seat problem that airline officials said was bigger than previously thought. According to flightstats.com, American had the most cancellations in September of all the airlines at O'Hare International Airports and 37 percent of the departures were delayed.

Building New Bridges with Music
Muammer Ketencoğlu is a musical traveler. With his CDs, samplers and concerts he takes us to a town on the Aegean, then to Armenia. With his "Zeybek Ensemble" the musician revives Turkish and Greek Zeybeks and lets us share in the sorrow of the expellees who were forced to leave their homeland in the exchange of peoples between 1923 and 1924 – but most importantly he brings almost-forgotten works of folk music into the present.
Ketencoğlu began his life as a musician in the schools for the blind in Izmir and Gaziantep, where he took his first musical steps. He especially remembers his charismatic, Greek-born music teacher whose Greek songs opened the door onto a new world for him. While studying at the Bosporus University, which has an international folk music archive, he became increasingly interested in folk music from different countries.
Music was always a part of his family: the songs his mother sang to him are as unforgettable as his uncle, the head of the city band, who took home an accordion which Ketencoğlu fell in love with in 1973.
The music of the Aegean
It was the Rebetiko that sparked Ketencoğlu's musical journey. In 1993, after winning money in the state lottery, he was able to record his first album "Sevdalı Kıyılar" (Coasts in Love). On this album Ketencoğlu interpreted old Greek songs he had listened to passionately since his childhood, as well as newer ones.
According to Ketencoğlu the Rebetiko does not belong to a certain people, but rather to a geographical area, namely the Aegean. The album was followed by the two samplers "Rebetika" and "Rebetika I" he compiled, as well as further sampler albums of folk songs from Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, the Central Asian Turkic republics and Kosovo. He also compiled and published a selection entitled "The Pioneers of Klezmer Music".
Keys to world culture
While touring various countries in search of songs, Ketencoğlu noticed that the folk songs are closer than the people are. For him, folk music is the kind of music that describes people at their most naked, and it is the key to world culture.
"But women's contribution is usually disregarded," says Ketencoğlu. To acknowledge this contribution, he collected women's songs in the Turkic, Kurdish, Greek and Armenian languages from throughout Anatolia and presented them with his women's choir.
The power and warmth of music
On his musical journey, which began in Anatolia and reached other continents as well, he encountered not only the various folk songs, but also the most famous musicians of every country. One of them is Mikis Theodorakis, who made peace between Greece and Turkey and whose name Ketencoğlu first heard in secondary school. Thus it meant a great deal to him to share the stage with the great master Mikis Theodorakis in Greece 1996.
Since the 1990s Ketencoğlu has performed concerts not only in European capitals such as Berlin, Paris and Vienna; his musical journey has also taken him to Brazil and Israel. At the end of April 2008 he also toured Holland and Belgium.
The musical traveler has also visited Cyprus, which has repeatedly led to conflicts between Greece and Turkey. Despite the political conflicts, due to his peaceful attitude he has never had any problems so far. His mission is "to overcome extremist nationalism, hatred, misunderstanding and prejudices in people's minds using the power and warmth of music."
"Izmir, the city of the unbelievers"
Along with his sampler albums, Ketencoğlu has released five albums to date. His latest album, which is now in its third edition, allows the listener not only to travel from country to country, but to take a journey back in time to pre-1922 Izmir, when Turkish, Greek and Sephardic songs could be heard in the streets. The album includes songs such as "to Dervisaki" by Stelyo Berber in the original recording as well as new recordings of old songs.
"İzmir Hatırası - Smyrna Recollections" is not only a musical journey in time; its booklet provides a collection of documents, photos and explanations.
"With its sounds and smells, Izmir has a large place in my heart", says Ketencoğlu. He loves the city where he first appeared onstage at the age of eleven. In his work, he allows listeners to partake of the rich and many-layered musical tradition which Izmir owes to its cosmopolitan past. Thus it is also a gift for this city.
In the Ottoman Empire, cosmopolitan Izmir was a liberal, wealthy port city. Previously, and sometimes today as well, Izmir was known in Central Anatolia as the "City of the Unbelievers" – i.e. non-Muslims. Ketencoğlu comments on this in the CD booklet: "Now it is your turn to open your heart to the stories told by the Turks, Greeks and Jews who lived together for hundreds of years. Now it is your turn to embrace the City of the Unbelievers."
Muammer Ketencoğlu explores folk music from the entire world with the sensitivity of a passionate music lover. In a music world dominated by popular mass culture he tracks down the old folk songs. In the process, with his unprejudiced attitude toward other cultures, he builds new bridges between the peoples.

Combining Rock Music with an Islamic Message
In Turkey today, traditional Islamic music is giving way to the hard rock sound of "Yesil Pop". But along with the normal rock beat and guitar rifts, comes not a message of sex and drugs, but rather praising God. Dorian Jones reports

Strong growth and digitalisation in Africa, makes it the perfect destination for Nordic firms and organisations looking for dynamic new markets and opportunities. At the same time, promising players in Africa can harness Nordic strengths in technology and sustainability for profitable investments in areas touched by continental mega-trends, such as population growth, urbanisation, and the rise of digital currencies, digital trade and growing infrastructure spending.
On November 22, 2018, Helsinki-based African Nordic Business Platform will bring together players from Africa and the Nordics to discuss and identify sustainable opportunities and high-growth ventures in Africa. African-Nordic Business Conference 2018 will host influential experts as they discuss African and Nordic strengths and mutual business opportunities, share experiences and insights, and explore practical guidelines for success on the ground.
"Africa is positioned to be the epicentre of a range of new enterprises that will generate the kind of strong growth we will see in few other parts of the world. However, Africa is a very diverse continent and it is important for companies to understand the specific markets they are entering," says Nigerian-born Kingsley Ify, co-founder and CEO of Springboard African Nordic Business Platform.
Themed Sustainability and Access! - The November 2018 conference will feature Nordic companies and organisations already operating in Africa, and companies looking for entry point into Africa, as well as movers and shakers on the African scene. Together they will offer an understanding of sectors ripe for investment, share ideas on how to build sustainable businesses in Africa and review entrepreneurial success stories, provide advice on tapping into new sources of financing and help firms to improve their ground game on the continent.
"Africa is a continent where the role of development aid is fading, making room for growing business development. Moreover, sustainable development will meet the demands of the mega trends visible in Africa: rapid economic growth, urbanisation and population growth. It's the place to do business, and where business can make a massive difference," says Pasi Rinne, Chairman of Gaia Consulting, a consultancy for sustainable businesses also operating in Africa. Rinne made the comments during ANBC's introductory event in September 2016.
In addition to providing a roadmap for doing sustainable business in Africa, the event will offer opportunities to develop existing networks, and build on potentially fruitful new partnerships, particularly in Africa. Participants will also gain access to important decision makers in government, the private sector, international organizations, consultants, advisors and the ecosystem builders.

On Wednesdays for the rest of the month, I'll be posting entries about the members of many households who are sometimes neglected when it comes to green household purchasing: pets. Apologies if I offend those owning hamsters, hedgehogs, beta fish and bunny rabbits, but I'll be focusing primarily on cats and dogs. That said, if there's anything in particular you'd like me to focus on — FSC-certified dog houses, cat scratch posts made from post-consumer content, etc. — please do let me know. And although I don't have any furry, four-legged flatmates at the moment, I am a veteran of the pet care industry and can certify a few of my close friends as "crazy cat ladies." I've pilled geriatric felines and had a Great Dane sit on my lap. Consider me qualified.
Now on to the good — kinda gross — stuff. As reported in National Wildlife magazine, 38.4 million cat-owning households send about 2 million tons of kitty litter to landfills each year. This is in the U.S. alone. How much litter is that? It's the same weight as five Empire State Buildings and the same amount of electronic waste that's landfilled each year in the States. All and all, nothing to LOL about.
Conventional cat litter is not biodegradable and cannot be composted. And not only do these litters clog landfills for years and years, the key ingredients in bentonite clay-based varieties have been unsustainably strip mined. Anyway you look at it, the cat business business is taxing on the planet.
Fortunately, there are a variety of natural cat litters that ease the burden on the earth. For cats that like to read in the bathroom, there's Purina's Yesterday's News, a biodegradable litter made from recycled newspaper; for grain-lovin' kitties there's Swheat Scoop Natural Wheat Litter that's biodegradable and clay-, chemical-, and fragrance-free; and for kitties that deserve only the best, there's World's Best Cat Litter, a brand that's highly absorbent and corn-based. There are several more companies out there marketing eco-friendly kitty litters, most of them containing plant-based ingredients. And then there is the CatSeat, a well meaning but disconcerting litter-less alternative. For those who want to toilet train their cats, all my best, just give me fair warning before I step into your loo.
If you're considering composting cat waste that's been deposited in biodegradable litter, the folks at GreenYour have some advice. Since cat poo contains potentially dangerous nasties like the parasetic toxoplasmosis gondii, you can't just toss it anywhere even if you're using natural litter. The same goes for flushing it down the toilet. Keep in mind that natural litter may be gentler on the planet but the waste itself can present a whole other set of problems to ecosystems and wildlife. My advice? Keep it simple — stick to biodegradable litter deposited in biodegradable garbage bags and trash it.
Felines, like humans, can be finicky about bathroom habits. If you switch to a natural litter after using a conventional variety, 8-year-old Fluffy may resist the new stuff. Patience and experimentation is key. After all, I'm guessing many who made the switch from regular toilet paper to a less gentle recycled content kind found the experience initially unsettling. Just remember, whether we're dealing with recycled TP or natural kitty litter, all of these little changes that we make around the home equal one big sigh of relief for Mother Nature.

Life insurance is extremely worth the prices it offers a very beneficial method of preventing the financial stress that loved ones will face if you were to pass away.
Although difficult to discuss, life cover needs to be considered to make sure that you are protected if the worst is to happen.
Natwest can offer you a life Insurance coverage that ensures that your loved ones are financially protected if the wost is to happen. If you've got children or a mortgage it can be very important to take out a life cover as children need the support to carry on living their lifestyle. Also the payment made could potentially payoff a mortgage which can mean your partner is no longer worrying about your financial situation. This can relate to any family member or close, loved ones as any of your belongings will be protected and they will be saved of the financial stress that will strain them when someone passes.
We are specialists at providing excellent knowledge and answers to anyone wanting to find out more about Natwest's offer. If you're in the position where you require more information, please feel free to contact us via the provided contact form and we will ensure we respond as soon as possible to fill you in with the required information.
Natwest offer a reliable and considerable life insurance service for anyone deciding on the cover they desire. As they offer many policies, there may be one perfect for you and your situation. The question needs to be asked of how loved ones would cope if the partner without work were to pass away. Regardless of the answer, money arrangements will have to be sorted out. However, because the working partner wouldn't be able to quit work to take care of youngsters and the house, this makes it even more of an important issue to consider. Life insurance could be the difference between your family keeping the rights to the house or being able to go to university. For this reason, it is very important that if you do have children or a spouse, you consider protection as soon as possible to protect both them and yourself.
Natwest understand that life insurance may be a difficult topic to discuss with friends and family but by delaying the discussion, you could be damaging the future of your children or missing out on the opportunity to cause them less stress. There are a huge range of packages in the UK to stop this from happening and because of this we recommend a thorough search into the background of each of them. This is because each package can be suited to different people so it is important that you find the perfect package for you. We can help you with this if you fill in our contact form. However, depending on the choice you have selected, the price could be both lower or higher. A main variable that affects this price is the health of the person. For example, a non-smoker is likely to get a cheaper price than a smoker. Also, if you want to enquire about cover as a couple, this can also be catered for with a joint package.
The very best packages at Natwest come in a range of various forms. The most common protection being a lump-sum payment. It is also a common myth that your lifestyle will need to change when you take out cover but this is wrong due to the numerous benefits and discount rates that we can support you with in order to help you decide whether or not to make an insurance claim. The main reason for live insurance is to ensure that your family is looked after. Because of this, life-insurance is one of the most selfess actions you will do. We will help you by discussing and assisting you in choosing the best package that uniquely fits you and your demands. By providing us with personal details, you will be helping us find this unique package as we will be able to match your needs with the cover's features. Children are amongst the most common factors that affects the policies of the package.
We understand thinking about cover is extremely demanding, and that's why we're here to make it easier for you. If you opt to take out a cover policy you'll prevent your loved ones from having a quantity of financial problems. We will explore in great detail the advantages and limitations of each life coverage and assist you choose the right one.

(visited by Dale Siegenthaler)
23-Jul-2011 -- This is one of my favorite confluence visits so far. My family and I were driving north from Lancaster, PA to Rome, NY and took a significant detour off our usual route to visit this degree confluence. Part of the reason I love this confluence so much is because of the beautiful rural setting. We followed many secondary dirt roads for the last several miles before we reached the confluence.
The confluence itself is located less than 1000 feet from a quiet country farm road called N Rd. There was some kind of gathering taking place at the farm with the large pond east of the confluence point. The fields are well maintained and a mix of corn and grass. The grass had recently mowed and the corn was about 18 inches high. The mowed fields made for an easy walk, slightly uphill, from the road to the confluence point.
From this confluence point you can see New York to the north and Pennsylvania to the south. We couldn't have asked for better weather and bright blue skies spotted with clouds. My photos detail the rest of my visit.

Recording mileage or time or cycles?
Recording mileage or time or cycles?
It has an odometer, like most cars.
In addition to that, the battery and the motor controller is stuffed with electronics that log every electrical event (charge + discharge current, voltage, speed, temp, AC on/off, etc.) Some enthusiasts came up with their own hardware + software to plug into the car's diagnostic socket and make available all of that information in a user-friendly way. The data logged by the vehicle is periodically uploaded to Tesla for analysis. They can tell you a quite detailed history of every car (not that they would, of course).
I hope it is held securely. Is the a carfidentiality agreement?
typo: Is there a ...
Tesla isn't going to report you for speeding on public streets. That wouldn't be good for business. I don't know if there's a confidentiality agreement though.
I think there is, for the data they collect from the car.

Late Model Heads & Valvetrain - Build Your Own Race Engine
Cylinder Heads And Valvetrain
Part ThreeIn the first two installments of Circle Track's Limited Late Model engine build we prepared the foundation for a race engine that makes the most bang for the buck. In the previous two installments, we finished prepping the block and installed the crank, rods, and pistons. This time around, it's time to get busy with the cylinder heads and valvetrain. Although it has already been installed, the heart of the valvetrain for this project is a custom-ground cam from Comp Cams, designed specifically to make the most from this engine package.
Right about now you're probably saying to yourself something along the lines of, Custom cam! I thought this was supposed to be a real-world budget build. The beauty is anyone can get a custom cam for his engine since Comp does not charge extra for this service. You can get an off-the-shelf cam if that suits your needs, or you can choose from any of the hundreds of grinds available from Comp's catalog. Cam spec help is also free by calling Comp's tech line.
Finally, before we get started, there are a couple small points that probably should have been pointed out earlier. Good engine building practices require fastidiousness when it comes to cleanliness.
This means making sure your assembly area is clean and as free of dust and dirt as possible. Building your engine will also most likely take place over several days, or even weeks, so make sure to keep the engine covered between work sessions. Large garbage bags are cheap and work well for this. They will also catch oil that drips off the assembly and keep it off of your shop floor. Finally, every part that goes onto your engine should be cleaned before it's installed. This includes brand-new components that are straight out of the box.
We won't bore you with photographs of all the individual parts on this build being cleaned, but be assured that it's happening. A large parts washer is great for this, but make sure it's relatively clean. Lots of race teams have a parts washer they use for cleaning the gunk off of gears, hubs, or whatever else needs to be cleaned, and no one is really sure when anyone last changed the solvent. If this describes your parts washer, don't use it (at least until you flush and replace all the solvent). If you don't have a parts washer handy, you can get by with a gallon of lacquer thinner and plenty of shop rags. Let's get to it.
Even with new heads, you may need to have the valve seats cut. We are using larger 2.020 intake and 1.600 exhaust valves (the maximum allowed by most tracks), so new seats had to be cut to enlarge the Iron Eagle's 1.94/1.50 sizes. Also, if you're running stock heads, they usually come with only a one-angle valve job. Investing in a three-angle valve job (30/45/60) is usually money well spent because it will greatly improve airflow through the port.
Most rulebooks have a minimum cc rule for the combustion chambers-usually 62 cc's-so to maximize compression, you'll need to get your heads decked to bring the chamber to the minimum size. Here, Kevin Troutman measures the chambers before cutting.
The Spec SheetWant more details? No problem. Here are the specs for our mechanical flat tappet cam from Comp Cams. Our cam was installed at the suggested 104-degree intake centerline.
|Grind #
|Valve Lash
|Gross Valve Lift
|Duration @ 0.020
|Duration @ 0.050
|Lobe Lift
|Lobe Separation
|Intake Centerline
The springs we chose for this build are Comp's beehive design. They are smaller at the top which cuts weight by using a significantly smaller retainer. The beehive shape also helps cut harmonics. The result is better valve control with less spring pressures. Once installed, our springs spec'ed out at 140 pounds at a 1.740 installed height and 260 pounds over the nose (0.480 inch maximum valve lift).
We're running head studs from ARP instead of bolts because they produce more even clamping torque across the head. The only problem with studs is they can make the heads impossible to remove with the engine still in the car. Regardless of which you choose, make sure to use plenty of thread sealant because the bolt holes on Chevrolet small-blocks go right into the water jackets.
The Cometic head gaskets we're using are a multi-layer steel design (MLS) which not only seal better in high-compression applications than conventional head gaskets, but are also quite thin when compressed. The compressed thickness once the heads are bolted on will be approximately 0.040 inch, which will help keep compression up.
One trick to help eliminate oil leaks is to apply a thin film of silicone above and below the "ears" on each gasket.
Now the heads can be gently lowered into place. Make sure they fit over the dowel pins on the deck of the block.
ARP provides torque specs for its fasteners when using either oil or moly lube. But you'll get more consistent results with moly. Make sure to coat the threads and the mating face between the nuts and the washers. (Or the underside of the head of the bolt, if that's what you're using.) Don't be afraid to use this stuff liberally. Too little can mean an improperly torqued head bolt, but too much just means you've got a mess to clean up.
Torque the fasteners in three steps. Begin at 30 ft/lbs, and then move on to 55 and finally 80 ft/lbs. The final torque value for motor oil, by the way, is 85 ft/lbs.
The order in which you tighten the head bolts is also critical because a cast iron head can actually flex as you tighten it. Begin with the center stud just above the center exhaust ports. Then move down to the stud just below the exhaust port split on the left. Continue moving in an outward spiral until you've tightened them all.
The lifters, per most rules for this level of racing, are solid flat tappets.
The most dangerous time in a flat-tappet cam's life is the first few minutes when it's breaking in with the lifters. The high-spring pressures used in racing combined with the aggressive lobe grinds make "wiping" a lobe and ruining the cam a real possibility. To prevent this, you can take a few preventative measures. You should have already liberally coated the cam lobes in assembly lube. Now, after cleaning the lifters, spray the faces with a dry graphite lubricant.
After the graphite has dried, the next step is to apply a lubricant like the white lithium grease you see here or some other thick assembly paste that won't drip off.
Now, as you install the lifters, make sure to coat the lifter bores and the bodies of the lifters with assembly lube as well.
Here's an instance where you always have to be willing to adapt during a build. Even though we had enlarged the pushrod holes, we still had interference problems with the mockup pushrods and the side of the head once the pushrod guides were installed. We've used these Comp Cams guides in several other builds, and they are fine, but they just won't work in this application.
Instead, we had to switch to a set of adjustable guides from Isky. Compared to the Comp guides, the Isky pieces (bottom) are made in two interlocking pieces. They also have larger bolt holes which also provide some adjustability. They are more expensive than the standard plates, but in a situation like this they are a lifesaver.
Here, you can see the guide plates installed on the heads. If you need to move the slots closer together, you can grind the ends of the interlocking tabs. The screw-in rocker studs are from ARP. They should be torqued to 50 pounds with moly lube, unless any of the holes on your head extend into the water jacket, in that case use thread sealer.
Once you've found your correct pushrod length, you can continue to use your pushrod checker to degree in the cam while you wait for your new pushrods to come in. The first step is to find top dead center of the piston in the number-one cylinder (the first one on the right). You can do this with a piston stop screwed into the spark plug hole.
This is also a good time to determine your correct pushrod length. Using a checking pushrod, mark the top of the valve stem with machinist's dye or a Sharpie and install the pushrod and rocker arm. Cycle the engine over several times by hand until the rocker leaves a mark on the tip of the valve stem.
If the pushrod length is correct, the tip of the rocker arm will travel over the center of the tip. If the mark is too high (closer to the lifter valley), lengthen your pushrod checker and try again. If the mark is too low, try shortening the checker.
After verifying that our cam measured out with the same 104 degree intake centerline that the supplied cam card stated it should have, we moved on to the next step.
Before the build is complete, you should always degree in your camshaft. I own a camshaft degreeing kit that works with the heads on the block, so I'm finally ready for this step. If you can degree your cam without the heads in place you can do this after the timing set is installed. Regardless of when you do this, you will need to pull the stock springs for checking springs so that you can also check the piston-to-valve clearance. One of the easiest ways to do this is with an on-head spring removal tool like this one I got from CV Products. You can also use an air hose adaptor to pressurize the cylinder and help hold the valves shut while you're compressing the springs.
You'll also need a degree wheel and a pointer. These are part of a kit from Powerhouse Products. We don't have space here to go through the complete procedure for degreeing in a cam, but for more information go to www.circletrack.com and type "Camshaft 101" into the search box.
You need to have lightweight checking springs on both the intake and exhaust valves to check piston-to-valve clearance. Using your degree wheel, set the engine so that the number-one piston is at 10 degrees after TDC, compress the intake valve until it contacts the piston and measure the movement. Do the same thing with the exhaust valve at 10 degrees before TDC. With a solid flat tappet lifter, you should have at least 0.080 clearance on the intake valve and 0.120 on the exhaust or you risk banging valves into the piston tops at high rpm levels.
If everything checks out, you can lock in the timing set. Remove the three bolts holding the cam sprocket to the camshaft and slide a cam button into place. The distributor gear has a tendency to push the cam forward inside the block and a cam button will prevent that.
Next, apply red Loctite to the bolts and thread them back in.
Diamonds may be a girl's best friend but for a gearhead these rockers sure look a lot like jewelry. These are Comp Cams' new Ultra Gold aluminum rockers, and they have just about everything you could want in a stud-mounted rocker. They are lightweight aluminum, fully rollered, polished to eliminate stress risers, and guaranteed for life by Comp. And even with all that, they usually sell for less than Comp's steel Pro Magnum rockers.
The cam sprocket bolts should be torqued to 20 ft/lbs, but with the cam button in place it can be difficult to get a socket on them. If you have this problem, try using a socket for a 1/4-inch drive wrench. It usually has a thinner wall.
Hopefully, by now your correct pushrods have come in. We're using 5/16-inch diameter pushrods in a 7.900 length (7.800 is stock). We would've preferred using 3/8 diameter pushrods to prevent any flex but the clearance issues prevented us. Before dropping the pushrods into place, squirt a few drops of assembly lube into the cups of each of your lifters.
Now, drive down one of the tabs on the cam button lock for each one of the bolts. It may seem like overkill to do this much to make sure these bolts stay in place, but if the timing set fails, it usually means catastrophic damage to the engine.
To protect the ends of the pushrods and the pushrod cups in the rockers, squirt a little high-pressure lube on the pushrods before installing the rockers. Also, a little lube on the threads of the rocker studs will help keep the rocker arm poly locks from galling to the studs.
With mechanical cams, your camshaft manufacturer will usually give you suggested lash settings on the cam card. We're going to start out with Comp's recommendations of 0.018 inch of lash for the intake and 0.020 for the exhaust but probably will do our own tests on the dyno later.
And once all the valves are lashed, we are done with the valvetrain component of the buildup. Next month, we'll set the intake on top and start buttoning things up with the accessories.

So I have a player who is being looked at for the U/19's Australian team/squad.
Is it worth training him for it? They said he will need about 7 nets, is it worth the sacrifice, and how much will he be able to play for me?
I've got individual players in every net, because my team is so young, and the only double ups is with him, doing a bowling, stamina and fielding.
What should I do?

Time for your daily dose of derelict trucks rusting in their final resting place.
Today's entry comes from Dave Clark. He spotted what he identifies as a "1950's truck" in a swamp of Manitoba's Whiteshell Provincial Park when he was a kid, and returned almost two decades later to find it again and get a photo.
With pretty much only the top of the cab visible, it's a tough one to place. But I have faith in the Truck Yeah!/Jalopnik brain trust, leave your assessments of what this cab's from in the comments!
Then read the story of Dave's trip to find the old rig on his blog, TravelDriveRace.
Rust In Peace is a daily feature on Truck Yeah! that takes a moment to respect retired trucks as they return to the Earth. If you've seen one you think we should share, drop a note to firstname.lastname@example.com!

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 19: Once again, the Bermuda Government has moved to set the record straight in light of recent comments by the Cayman Islands' Government on the subject of Bermuda's International Business strength and competitiveness.
The Premier and Minister of Finance, the Hon. Paula A. Cox JP, MP, said this evening: "Our Government does not and has never rested on its laurels, but constantly seeks to press the envelope and to march relentlessly forward. Only the naïve would be foolish enough to count Bermuda out. You cannot seriously hope to operate a credible, successful, premier international centre without being reputationally sound and intellectually nimble and innovative. That continues to be a hallmark of our success."
The Premier continued, "Bermuda is focused on extending its lead, while Cayman speaks about closing the gap. Our destination is far beyond our borders and we have the infrastructure and the talent to make it happen. It should be pointed out that Bermuda continues to introduce initiatives to ensure that we include Bermudians in the path for success of our jurisdiction. Yet, we do not take our reputation for granted nor do we rely on past successes. So we work tirelessly and continuously.
"We focus on strategic alliances with our business partners. In this way we enhance our enviable reputation by strengthening our relationships with the European Union, UK and US jurisdictions. And by strengthening our regulations to satisfy the global regulatory agencies, and enacting business-friendly legislation, then it is unlikely that this initiative will represent a serious threat to Bermuda's existing reinsurance market in the short term.
"Furthermore, the Bermuda marketplace is known globally as a centre of excellence in the area of reinsurance underwriting. Advances in the technical pricing of risk; the creation of alternative forms of capital such as sidecars, regulatory innovation; and a series of other developments including strong sovereign ratings; have combined to make Bermuda one of the top three reinsurance centres of the world. We are known as the risk capital of the world.
"Additionally, the credibility of our jurisdiction is reflected in the strength of its international relationships with those organisations that are shaping the future course of the reinsurance industry. Thanks to such connections, Bermuda plays a leadership role in assisting with the development of the world's risk industry.
"I think it's important to point out that recently Ramon Fernandez, Chair of the Financial Stability Board [FSB] and Secretary of the Treasury, Ministry of Economy, Industry and Employment, France sent a letter informing me of their evaluation exercise relating to 'Global adherence to international cooperation and information exchange standards'. In the letter he states and I quote:
'I am writing to inform you that Bermuda is one of the jurisdictions that was included in the initial pool for evaluation, since it ranks highly in financial importance. I am pleased to note that, according to publicly available information, Bermuda already demonstrates sufficiently strong adherence to international cooperation and information exchange standards and therefore, no further evaluation is necessary under the FSB's current initiative.'
"This is high praise indeed for a small jurisdiction that manages to stand toe to toe with giants."
Premier Cox concluded, "Bermuda has never adopted an isolationist position – quite the contrary. Instead, we favour collaboration and assistance, whether to help territories in need with technical support and in terms of disaster assistance. We do not adopt a selfish approach that: 'now we are okay- let's pull up the ladder'. That is why, as Vice Chair of the OECD Global Forum Steering Committee, we have acted as an advocate for others, specifically smaller island domiciles.
"However make no mistake we are fearless in representing our national interest and while we are principles-based, when we speak to businesses owners that are attracted to Bermuda because of what we have achieved, whether on Solvency 11 equivalence or our quality reputation, we do not hide our light under a bushel and encourage those businesses who seek to re-base here to know that they will be welcomed.
"We are principled, yet we will continue to be nimble and innovative in protecting Bermuda's turf and our national interests and to demonstrate that to choose Bermuda is to make a wise choice for a domicile that is credible, reputationally sound and prudent."

Portals | Feature
Wayne State University is rolling out a homegrown portal focused on real-time, two-way communication and better anticipating users' needs.
When the IT leaders at Wayne State University in Detroit talk about the limitations of their legacy campus portal, they reach for analogies to describe their dissatisfaction. "Our old campus portal looked like the classified section of your daily newspaper," said Rob Thompson, director of academic and core applications. "There was very little design cohesiveness."
Or as Daren Hubbard, senior director of enterprise applications, put it: Universities have designed portals as "parcels of real estate like it was some kind of a shopping mall. If you got a storefront, meaning a link or a tab, then you got some eyeballs coming your way. That was your goal, instead of adding value for the users coming to the site."
A Portal for Collaboration
Two years ago, Wayne State executives started thinking about how their Web portal might serve the campus community in new ways. Students had been complaining that the existing portal, called Pipeline, did not support mobile devices well, and that university messaging was not well targeted — resulting in what they perceived as internal "spam" being sent out. "We didn't have any way to stop administrators from over-communicating in a one-way fashion," explained Thompson.
Yet as they surveyed the landscape of commercial offerings, Wayne State's team was underwhelmed. "They were no better than what we already had," recalled Hubbard. "For the basic design they had a screen with three to five columns of stagnant information. We didn't see anything revolutionary or that used newer Web 2.0 technologies."
Thompson agreed, noting, "They were rehashes of old-school Web design, and there really wasn't anything innovative, especially in the higher ed space."
So Wayne State decided to build its own portal solution, focused particularly on fostering real-time, two-way communication and better anticipating users' needs. Called Academica, the new portal offers single sign-on as an authenticated front door to applications, and is designed from the ground up to work on any mobile device. But first and foremost it is a social networking platform that enhances and enables collaboration.
"This is what we thought had the most potential for improvement," Thompson said, explaining that traditionally students go to a portal to look at announcements and campus events, but have no way to interact with that information. "How crazy is that? We expect this to be the meeting spot for our campus and we have only one-way communications," he said. "This is what the marketplace hasn't thought about yet: the portal as a vehicle for true two-way, real-time communication, which is what an essential function of a portal should be."
How It Works
At the core of the social networking piece is what Wayne State calls "message streams," which operate like a Facebook wall or a Twitter hashtag. Streams can be created by anybody and can be subscribed to by anybody, although there are permission levels. For instance, a user could create a stream for chess and invite people to subscribe. There is a stream discovery tool that allows users to search all the public streams, or ask to join private streams.
"One of the major things we are doing to bring cohorts of people together at the university is that you are automatically subscribed to streams fed from our Banner ERP system," Thompson said. "Students and instructors are enrolled in a stream for each of their courses. We think that is a main innovation of what we are doing. We know via studies that the more students are engaged with peers, faculty and the institution, the better they do."
"We are extending that to our freshmen orientation sessions as well," added Hubbard. "Folks who come into orientation have a stream and they carry that into the first semester."
That same concept extends beyond courses. If you are an administrator, you are automatically connected via streams to the rest of your college or division. Employees can also create streams in ad-hoc ways when they want to create smaller groups.
The streams concept has many features you would expect from any social networking platform, Thompson said. "We did not want to rewrite the rules on user interface here. Facebook, Twitter and Google got it right. We wanted to use the same sort of mechanisms and make it as intuitive as possible to use."
Another new approach involves links. With the old portal, students reported having difficulty finding the links they needed among the dozens on the site. "Most people do only between five and 10 things on the portal," Thompson pointed out. "We are now keeping track of what you do on the portal and what people like you do, and are automatically populating that in a sidebar," he said. "So the first time you log in, the portal knows things that will likely interest you based on what other users like you are typically doing."
The Academica development team is also working on a way to deal with administrative announcements that people view as spam: a concept of virtual currency called "Academicoins." Administrators are charged a number of Academicoins to post announcements; the more people a message is sent to, the more it costs. If an announcement gets a good response from recipients, the sender gets more currency, but if not, the sender runs out of Academicoins to make announcements with. "We are creating a virtual economy that incentivizes people to target their messages well," Thompson said, "and it is fun."
The same level of innovation extends to the portal's infrastructure. Wayne State made a strategic decision to leverage Amazon Web Services' elastic cloud, which allows the system to expand as necessary to accommodate high traffic. Portals often see the most traffic in a one-hour period after registration opens in the fall, pointed out Thompson — the usage might be 10 times more than any other time of year. "By using the cloud, we can expand very cheaply to any size we want to," he said.
Expanding Beyond the Institution
Wayne State is in the middle of its Academica rollout, with approximately 4,000 users having switched from Pipeline. The plan is to have the whole campus of close to 30,000 students switch over for the fall 2014 semester.
The institution also hopes other schools will be interested in Academica. "We know other universities need an option for a new portal. We wrote it in a way that is portable," Thompson said. "We are lucky to have a bunch of very professional people on the development team with experience creating commercial solutions," he added. "We took the approach that this is not meant for one customer. If this can benefit Wayne State, I am sure others will be interested."
Thompson and Hubbard said the university has not yet developed a plan for how to share the system with other institutions. "As a university, we are not out to become a software development company, but we do want to position ourselves where we could help somebody else implement this," Thompson said. "We are still talking about what that might look like."
That expansion may include federating with other instances of Academica at other institutions. If other campuses were using Academica, for example, they could unify their message streams by topic. Thompson imagines a stream about atomic physics, populated by community colleges, universities and K-12 schools: With 10,000 people subscribed, a high school senior could post a question and receive an answer from a Harvard (MA) student. "This could not only enhance collaboration on one campus," he said, "but among institutions."

As Christians try to understand what faith calls them to do to follow Christ, questions on self defense and weapons are unavoidable. Though all Christians know their immortal soul is held safe by grace in the hands of our Lord, whether a Christian should take steps to protect his mortal being and family or trust in God for protection remains a point of debate. And proponents of either view use the same passages from the Bible for support.

ATHENS - An animal rights organization has asked the University of Georgia to quit using a live bulldog as the school's athletic mascot.
Instead, PETA suggests, the Bulldogs could use a robot dog or costumed mascot to represent the university's football and other sports teams.
PETA, known as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, says using live bulldogs perpetuates dog health problems - like the heart ailment that apparently killed Uga VII last week at the age of 4. View photos of Uga VII.
PETA's Nov. 20 letter to UGA Athletic Director Damon Evans is the second one the group has addressed to UGA officials asking them to stop using live bulldogs.
Last year, when Uga VI died - also of heart problems - PETA wrote athletic officials to ask that the next Uga come from an animal shelter or rescue, and that he be neutered.
Bulldogs are prone to breathing difficulties, hip dysplasia, heart disorders and other chronic health problems, noted Desiree Acholla, PETA's animals in entertainment specialist.
Bulldogs, like other dogs, like to run and play, but the very act of playing can be dangerous for the breed because the dogs struggle to breathe, Acholla said in last week's letter to Evans.
The Uga line of English bulldogs are family pets for Sonny and Cecilia Seiler of Savannah, who have shared the dogs with the Bulldog Nation since 1956.
The family said last week it would find a substitute Uga for this weekend's Georgia Tech football game, and for a possible bowl game, then pick a new bulldog to carry on the tradition sometime next year.
Evans did not return a telephone call seeking comment.
UGA did respond to PETA, however - an e-mail from David Muia, a special assistant to UGA Athletic Director Damon Evans.
"You make good points that deserve our consideration," wrote Muia, but he promised no specific actions other than sharing the letter with the Seilers and talking it over with Evans and other athletic officials.
Swann Seiler, daughter of Sonny and Cecilia, said the family would have no comment on PETA's letter.
PETA opposes all dog breeding, which the organization says contributes to pet overpopulation as well as chronic health problems for dogs.
"We just don't want to see this cycle of congenital health defects and other hereditary problems associated with inbreeding simply to create a brand for the university," Acholla said. "If Ugas are being created for a specific image, this can only be done through generations of inbreeding."

On Trust Pt. 2
It revolves around change.
Real change. Of the nickels, dimes, and quarters variety.
See, I'm the kind of guy who's always got a pocket full of coins. But I'm also lazy. So rather than roll up the coins and take 'em to the bank, I just let them build up in a big pile on my desk.
Enter the students.
The students in my audio production class know about the change pile. They also know that they are welcome to take change if they need it. And they know that they are welcome to leave their own change in the pile.
Started out with $2.29 in coins.
As of my count this morning, there's about $8.50 in the pile.
It's not always that much. Some days there's hardly anything there. The most I've seen was about ten bucks, mostly in quarters and nickels.
I think about this pile of change often. In fact, I see it as a sort of metaphor for the way I run the classroom. Because I know that, as the teacher, I am only the first pocket-full of change -- lint and all.
The students take over from there.
Sometimes they take too much, but more often they give back in proportion greater to my initial investment.
So it goes with social tech as well.
If you ban social tech, you'll never have to worry about losing your initial investment. But you'll never see it grow either.
There have certainly been days when the students took advantage of the pile of change; and there are certainly days that they took advantage of access to social media in ill-advised ways. But for each of those occasions, there have been so many more in which they've used social tech in ways that have increased that pile of coins and substantially increased the value of our investment.
Not bad for a bunch of kids.
I encourage you to try out the change experiment. It may surprise you to see just how much growth you earn with a little trust. All you need is the patience and the wit to resolve that even those bad days are part of the greater goal.

I have a piggy bank on the desk in my classroom. I wish it were a color other than white, or that it didn't have a shape from one directly that looked quite so much like the lower torso of a nude woman, but hey... it's what I could find.ReplyDelete
Anyway, any time a kid swears, they put a coin in the treasury. And we donate the money each term to an account at Kiva.org.
I agree I presented at a conference about just using a wiki. Many asked what do you do with kids to keep them honest. Could not believe the reponse when I said that I simply trust. If you let ids now what you believe and you think they deserve, they will surprise you.ReplyDelete
I love this! It extends so far into education to, not just social media, but with open and student directed learning.ReplyDelete
I wonder if we can change the general mind set that focuses on the negative?

ok, last one for the night, i swear....
essentially, all i'm trying to do is create a win32 thread with the CreateThread function
(for those not familiar w/ it)
for whatever reason, the compiler is telling me that my function call does not match the definition of this function. i actually even tried copying someone's example code straight from a tutorial, and it's still giving me the same error message. anyway, here's my code:Code:HANDLE CreateThread ( LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpThreadAttributes, SIZE_T dwStackSize, LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE lpStartAddress, LPVOID lpParameter, DWORD dwCreationFlags, LPDWORD lpThreadId )

Birth and death
Wax anatomical plaque showing a foetus, Europe, 1701-1730
How has childbirth changed?
The human life cycle is marked by milestones. The very beginnings of life and its ultimate end are perhaps those culturally afforded the greatest attention. They can also be times of significant medical intervention and management. Over time, attempts to control conception, monitor pregnancy and assist childbirth shifted and blurred our readings of these natural events. The inevitability of death has also challenged its boundaries and, at times, exposed uncertainty about when the living become the dead.
Regulating the beginnings of life
Men and women have practised contraception for thousands of years. This often opposes religious doctrine or social approval. More proactive measures existed alongside sexual abstinence, 'coitus interruptus', amulets and charms. Ancient Chinese, Egyptian, Greek and Roman texts record early birth control methods. These included pessaries, plugs, suppositories, douches and potions drunk before or after sex. Certain herbs also induced abortions. This was an acknowledged, if not necessarily approved, method of population control. Such contraception was traditionally a female responsibility. The appearance of the condom, especially from the 1700s, potentially redressed this. However, its early use was mainly for protection against syphilis.
Birth control campaigners and the successes of family planning
Improved contraception during the 1800s became entwined in moral and political debates. Poverty and rapid population growth prompted birth control campaigns. These were associated with eugenics by the early 20th century. Some eugenic advocates proposed involuntary sterilisation of those deemed 'inferior'.
There was a gradual liberation of sexual attitudes after the Second World War. The pill, latex condoms and IUDs gave greater control of reproduction. This trend continued with contraceptive implants and injections. The late 20th century could be seen as a period when family planning by the state, as well as by individuals, triumphed. China's one-child policy is the most extreme example.
The social importance of fertility
Childlessness carries a stigma in many cultures. Fertility rites and religious prayers are still important social rituals.
John Hunter is believed to have supervised the first successful artificial insemination in 1776. However, the revolution in fertility treatment came two centuries later with in vitro fertilisation (IVF). It is the most common technique for assisted reproduction and leads to thousands of births each year. IVF still undergoes intensive research.
Testing for pregnancy and the dilemmas of screening
Pregnancy itself can now be rapidly confirmed with easy to use test-kits, although ancient forms of pregnancy testing have also been recorded. The results could be great news!....or not. Women have long sought various means to rid themselves of an unwanted pregnancies. While controlled abortion is now legal across much of the world, it remains highly controversial.
Such dilemmas may arise during modern antenatal investigations. Birth defects were once a subject of pregnancy myths and superstitions. Screening techniques now check foetuses for physical and genetic conditions. These techniques include ultrasound scanning and invasive methods such as amniocentesis. Along with other forms of genetic screening they raise ethical questions.
The changing nature of childbirth
Childbirth was once a domestic event. For many it has become highly technical and hospital based. This phenomenon was preceded by a shift in status of those assisting births. Once the domain of female midwives, childbirth became associated with elite medically trained male professionals. The rise of men-midwives in the 1700s symbolised the transition. However, the change was not global. Today the majority of births in the developing world are attended by female traditional birth attendants.
Reducing maternal and infant mortality
Many developments in hospital-based childbirth further reduced maternal and infant mortality. Antisepsis greatly improved matters, but fear of death in childbirth pervaded late Victorian culture. The early decades of the 20th century saw improved prenatal care and a combination of anaesthetics, blood transfusions and latterly antibiotics reduce death rates.
Extending the limits of life... for some
As rates of death in childbirth decrease, medical advances increase the span of life. They save premature babies and prolong the lives of the elderly. As life is extended, death can seem remote. Formerly killer diseases are tamed by vaccines, drugs or improved public health. Mass death is mainly restricted to wars, natural disasters and accidents.
However, early mortality remains common in many parts of the world. Millions of these deaths are from preventable causes. Perceptions and experiences of death depend on when and where you live. Average life expectancy in Britain nears 80, but for much of Africa it is well under 50.
Ethical quandaries in life and death
Postponing death raises moral questions. Treating progressive, chronic illnesses may prolong life, but sometimes to the point where it is intolerable. The legal status of euthanasia, and access to it, are major issues today. The redefining of death in neurological terms in the late 1960s has also raised difficult ethical issues. These include the ambiguities of interpreting brain death, and switching off the life support machine of a patient whose heart still beats.
The preparation and final disposal of a body following death were historically idealised as times of commemoration, mourning and remembrance. These events are associated with religion, ritual and an afterlife.
In most cultures the dead are revered, in some cultures they are even worshipped. They are buried in designated areas with their names engraved on memorials. In some cultures their bodies might even be artificially preserved.
How the dead continue to help the living
Dissection and anatomical study have been basic tools of medical teaching. Autopsies provide information about disease and injury that would be unattainable by other means. The dead are vital to medical research in the laboratory. Bodies provided for an expanding range of organ transplants and transplants of other tissues and body parts as the 20th century progressed. Harvesting from bodies is now done at a cellular and genetic level. In a curious meeting between the dead and the living, the former are increasingly being called on to prolong the lives of the latter.

Formerly DNA Extraction Control 670.qPCR Extraction Control not only enables users of a diagnostic qPCR assay to determine if there are inhibitors in the PCR assay, but also to validate the success of the extraction step, reducing the chance of obtaining a false negative result in the sample DNA.
Product Highlights
- Simple - streamlined protocol for straightforward validation of DNA extraction and determination of qPCR assay inhibition
- Sensitive - control assay identifies even small effects on DNA extraction and inhibition of amplification
- Optimized - control DNA has a sequence with no known homology to any organism thereby avoiding detection of sample DNA
- Specific - probe-based assay designed specifically for real-time PCR assays
- Flexible - ideal for use with a wide range of sample types, including inhibitor-rich samples like blood, urine and sputum samples
Product Description
A common practice in qPCR is to add a known amount of spiked control DNA after DNA extraction, this monitors PCR inhibition but has no value as an extraction control. The ideal situation is to have the test sample and internal control undergo the same processing prior to qPCR. Bioline has developed the qPCR Extraction Control, which more closely mimics the test sample, as compared to spike controls. Genetic material from the test sample and the qPCR Extraction Control is simultaneously extracted by common extraction methods, with the extraction control being as sensitive to inhibition and extraction failure as the test sample.
The qPCR Extraction Control cells are of a known concentration, containing the Internal Control DNA sequence. This sequence contains no known homology to any organism and, importantly, has minimal interference with detection of sample DNA. The qPCR Extraction Control cells are spiked into the lysis buffer with the target sample, prior to DNA extraction. Control Mix, which includes primers and probe, is then added to the reaction mix before amplification. Signal derived from the Internal Control DNA confirms the success of the extraction step. qPCR Extraction Control also monitors co-purification of PCR inhibitors that may cause biased or false amplification patterns.
