Ouch. Qwest slapped with $350 million fine
November 15, 2000 7:00 pm | by Karen Kessler-Tanaka | CommentsEverything's bigger in Texas, including the fines for cutting your competitors phone line. A Texas jury has ordered Denver-based Qwest to pay AT&T $350 million in punitive damages for cutting a phone line three times in 1997. Qwest immediately bucked the fine for the slice and dice job, saying it violated a Texas statute that caps punitive damage amounts.
DVRs now playing near you

Beach-goers stave off direct sun exposure by hunkering under Bradford Beach Cabana Company's signature cabanas, or basking in the shade of rented beach umbrellas. The purveyor's cushioned lounge chairs fit comfortably beneath their shady structures, and a team of food-service attendants is on hand to ferry snacks to beach-goers who would otherwise have to infiltrate seagull potlucks. On breaks from lounging, adventurers can take to the waves in rented water gear, paddling touring kayaks or balancing atop standup paddleboards on the clear lake waters.
Dogs may be man's best friend, but having a horse show up at your wedding is more likely to impress. Milwaukee Coach and Carriage arranges such romantic gestures with its fleet of well-mannered equines and spacious coaches. Its custom carriage rides wend to and from marriage ceremonies as well as birthday parties, grand openings, and other special events, imbuing passengers' evenings with timeless flair and romance.
For a more casual trot around the city, Milwaukee Coach and Carriage also leads 30- or 60-minute tours of downtown, rolling past popular landmarks to create a memorable date without getting involved in a high-speed chase. Each carriage holds up to four adults and two children total, though 12-person wagons are available for larger groups.
Inside Sake Tumi's main dining room and private banquet areas, guests sample everything from colorful sashimi to peppered tenderloin. During dinner, the menu is home to a variety of Japanese classics such as sushi rolls, as well as Korean barbecue dishes including beef bulgogi. Midday visitors can order up traditional bento boxes during lunch, which neatly pack soup, salad, and sides alongside various entrees.
The walls of Dick's Pizza and Pleasure gleam brilliant white across three floors interspersed with neon-colored details and enormous anime murals. Hospitality Interiors lauds the first floor's Carrara-marble countertops and "diner-inspired" red vinyl chairs, which give the futuristic space a retro feel. Round windows let patrons peep at coal-fired pizza ovens, where made-from-scratch crusts praised by the Journal Sentinel and Inside Milwaukee attain a golden-brown hue. Toppings benefit from a similar attention to detail. Chefs hand-crush organic tomatoes for sauce, and cure their own ham and sausage in house, procuring produce from local farmers when possible. House-made ingredients also beef up the roster of specialty shakes, which whirl together sweets such as strawberry compote, honey mascarpone, and fudge with vanilla ice cream. During after hours on the weekends, customers saunter up to the second- and third-floor nightclub, done up in the same slick white. There, local DJs spin music as bartenders mix drinks behind candy-colored bars.
After emigrating from Germany, Otto Hermann forged his place in downtown Milwaukee by opening Hermann's Café in 1904. Since then, the eatery has passed from generation to generation, taking the name of Otto's step-daughter's beau-turned-husband Karl Ratzsch and remaining a staple for heaping platters of classic German cuisine. The kitchen's homemade applesauce and fluffy spätzle festoon free-range goose and crackling pork shank, which the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel describes as "[emitting] the most intoxicating, delicious aroma." The vast dining room's ambiance echoes the Old World cuisine, its chocolate-brown wooden beams and sturdy chandeliers reminiscent of a Bavarian hunting lodge. Ornate antique beer steins store whispered wishes for new pairs of lederhosen, and stained-glass windows cast the vast dining room in a kaleidoscopic glow.
They've got 22 televisions. 22 barstools. The Catch 22 owners' penchant for the number 22 nearly rivals their enthusiasm for all things sports. Nearly. Despite its posh decor—exposed brick walls, loft-style beams, and gleaming wood floors—the downtown space is a sports bar through and through. There's "not a bad seat in the house," even the men's bathroom has a TV, and even that TV has a TV. Revelers with tickets to a game can often grab a free shuttle to a local stadium or arena. Those who stay to watch the match munch a new menu of traditional bar fare with a modern twist, such as hand-cut sweet-potato fries with curry and basil dip, or a burger slider topped with gorgonzola, creole sauce, and caramelized onions. At the full bar that stocks a dozen on-tap brews, 25+ bottled beers, premium liquors, and memory-scrambling "bombs", patrons wash down savory dinners or toast half-court double plays.
Showcased on the Travel Channel's Food Paradise for its gargantuan cuts of prime rib, Ward's House of Prime elevates plates with formidable servings of steak, veal, seafood, and pasta within an elegant, leather-tinged dining room. Chefs slice the signature prime rib in a spectrum of portion sizes ranging from modest 8-ounce morsels to The Al-Mighty Halaka's behemoth 160 ounces. Those who conquer these savory leviathans garner immortalization in Ward's Hall of Fame, where caricatures of past protein vanquishers smile from behind their trusty steak knives. At the bar, an extensive wine list gilds glasses with varietals hailing from throughout the globe as drinksmiths craft a bevy of inventive cocktails. The dining room's studded-leather seating flanks tables clad in white linens, and the outdoor patio's umbrellas keep diners dry during worcestershire storms brought on by their steaks' gravitational forces.

Santa Rosa County Commissioners voted to fund a three percent raise for county employees without increasing property taxes at Monday's final budget hearing. The move seemed to satisfy an overflow crowd of not only off-duty deputies and other county employees seeking raises, but also local tea party activists opposing tax hikes.
The action will provide the first pay raise for county workers since 2007.

The Cleveland rock group Nine Inch Nails is planning to hit the road on a world tour after reinventing itself and adding new musicians.
Founder Trent Reznor, who took a hiatus after the band's "Wave Goodbye" tour in 2009, told Pitchfork.com that the band is "reinventing itself from scratch."
Jane's Addiction bass player Eric Avery, King Crimson guitarist Adrian Belew and Telefon Tel Aviv's Josh Eustis will join him in the revamped venture, along with previous collaborators Alessandro Cortini and drummer Ilan Rubin.
"I was working with Adrian Belew on some musical ideas," Reznor said, "which led to some discussion on performing, which led to some beard-scratching, which led to the decision to rethink the idea of what Nine Inch Nails could be, and the idea of playing a show."
The tour will begin in the summer and extend into 2014.

• Actor Christian Slater is engaged to girlfriend Brittany Lopez, he confirmed last week on Jimmy Fallon's talk show. Slater was nervous about meeting his future in-laws, he said, after he got off to a shaky start when he bought Lopez a stuffed raccoon instead of a real one, which she had wanted as a pet. "She opened the thing and all she saw was two dead eyes staring up at her, and she literally cried for 45 minutes into her mother's bosom. It was awful."
• George Lopez will replace longtime host Bill Cosby in June at the 35th annual Playboy Jazz Festival in Los Angeles. Cosby had hosted the event since 1979.
• Basketball legend Michael Jordan has been sued by a woman who claims that he fathered her 16-year-old son. Jordan is to marry Yvette Prieto next month.

So jealous, Kim! My sister met him when she attended a Virgin-SomethingOrOther event in North Carolina a few years ago. She did get me a t-shirt though.
It's a role he grew very comfortable with over the years. He was not always so extroverted.
I went to one of his birthday parties at his London house, and don't even remember seeing him (yes, there were a lot of guests).
Yes, @Waqas, you are right that hard work are vital. You can't just be clever on social media, that's for sure! When everyone's looking at you and some are waiting for you to take a mis-step, it's even more important to ensure you're working hard, surrounding yourself with high-calber people, and listening to the right partners, colleagues, and advisors.
@ Alison
Branson is surely an example and a trend setter so as to how an organization's leader should be. Glamour in his personality and the way Virgin brands itself are both something closely in comparison. Nonetheless, besides his personality and all the glamour that glows with it, his hard work and strategy are something to be truly appreciated.
@ kq4ym
It definitely makes us envious. Did'nt we work hard enough to get such fringe benefits and great office environments. Surley we did. Just that the skill the Google guys have is a bit scarce in supply in the labour market.
Stuff like slides are just publicity stunts. What employees really care about is material benefits such as cars, working hours, impressive remuneration, etc.
Kim, I'm not sure about when the era really ended, but I agree with your point.
But leaders set the tone and often others in the company adopt similar characteristics. Here in Kansas, Bill Self is one of the most successful college basketball coaches in the country. Many of his assistants have adopted the same speech patterns and vocabulary, even his accent, to the point that if one is interviewed on the radio, it's hard to tell immediately if it's Bill Self or one of them.
Tim Cook, to me, seems to emulate Steve Jobs in the same way. If Apple is later viewed as declining after Jobs left, I think that would be an unfair point because Tim Cook, again to an outsider, seems to have kept everything going in Jobs-like fashion.
So, to your point, maybe that happened years ago and we're just seeing a different face. It could be that the Jobs era won't end for a few more years until the company is basically purged of old-timers at senior levels. It's an interesting thought that a CEO can have a lasting effect on a company's culture. That can be good and bad, of course, but interesting nonetheless.
Mitch, I was only harkening back to 1997, when Steve Jobs came. Only Mac purists thought he would succeed and their advice was to focus more on schools, make the hardware more colorful, that kind of thing.
Then, there were the haters, really, like Michael Dell, who suggested Jobs scrap the whole company.
I know it's trendy to applaud Steve Jobs and I'm really doing that, but what I admire at the time is that NO ONE said, "you know, Steve, why don't you leverage your Hollywood connections to create a supreme music store that will make downloading music and eventually movies mainstream, and while your at it, create a little funky music player without a display, and you'll become the most valuable company in the world."
One of my favorite authors is Gary Hamel because he pushes the concept of "Getting to the Future First," which means, define your future and achieve it before your competitors reach theirs. He lost me a bit later when he claimed that anybody with any sense could have seen Enron's collapse a mile away. Really? He didn't.
If you were someone in 1997 who thought Apple had it going on, I believe you because you are a smart successful techie and an editor of this site full of thought leaders :-), but there are plenty of other people who fall to revisionist history. In fact, you deserve to be exalted because you were probably scoffed at often in 1997.
I liked the whole story at the time because what I thought Apple did is brought back the single, as I've posted already. That was cool to me and I felt it saved downloading of music. I remember telling my kids that the prize at the time was iTunes, not the iPod. I still stand by that. (I'm not much of a socializer, so I was neither scoffed nor praised; my poor family is the only group to hear my old timer rants).
Branson also has the ability to market himself well. I've never met him, unfortunately, but he was one of the earliest CEOs to brand himself as part of his companies and vice versa (at least one of the earliest I can recall). Virgin, the company, and Branson, the man, are intertwined -- which will be bad if/when he ever wants to sell the company, isn't really who he says he is/acts, or when he dies. But in the meantime he's built a company that mirrors his public image, whose advertising and marketing directly correlate with his persona, and he is a whiz with social media as a direct result of that ease and that integration.
Clearly, I need to learn more about Richard Branson.
Branson started out by selling LP records by mail. Simple idea, but it caught on. He certainly has the entrepreneurial knack, but it's also important to be in the right place at the right time.
If Mike Oldfield had taken Tubular Bells to a different record label, or it hadn't ended up on The Exorcist soundtrack, the money to expand Virgin's business would have had to come from somewhere else.

A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail (Paperback)
Back in America after twenty years in Britain, Bill Bryson decided to reacquaint himself with his native country by walking the 2,100-mile Appalachian Trail, which stretches from Georgia to Maine. The AT offers an astonishing landscape of silent forests and sparkling lakes—and to a writer with the comic genius of Bill Bryson, it also provides endless opportunities to witness the majestic silliness of his fellow human beings.
For a start there's the gloriously out-of-shape Stephen Katz, a buddy from Iowa along for the walk. Despite Katz's overwhelming desire to find cozy restaurants, he and Bryson eventually settle into their stride, and while on the trail they meet a bizarre assortment of hilarious characters. But A Walk in the Woods is more than just a laugh-out-loud hike. Bryson's acute eye is a wise witness to this beautiful but fragile trail, and as he tells its fascinating history, he makes a moving plea for the conservation of America's last great wilderness. An adventure, a comedy, and a celebration, A Walk in the Woods has become a modern classic of travel literature.
About the Author
Bill Bryson was born in Des Moines, Iowa. For twenty years he lived in England, where he worked for The Times and The Independent, and wrote for most major British and American publications. His books include travel memoirs (Neither Here Nor There, The Lost Continent, Notes from a Small Island), and books on language (The Mother Tongue, Made in America). He now lives in Hanover, New Hampshire, with his wife and four children.
Praise for A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail…
"Choke-on-your-coffee funny."
—The Washington Post Book World
"Bryson is . . . great company right from the start--a lumbering, droll, neatnik intellectual who comes off as equal parts Garrison Keillor, Michael Kinsley, and . . . Dave Barry."
—The New York Times Book Review
"A Walk in the Woods is an almost perfect travel book."
—The Boston Globe

Connecticut's Earthquake History
By WXedge Staff on April 29, 2011, 12:00am
Use your ← → (arrow) keys to browse more stories.
(From USGS.gov) - The lack of historical and instrumental reports of strong earthquakes in Connecticut suggests that state to be a region of very minor seismic activity, even when compared to other States in the northeast region.
The cause of "rumblings" in the area near Moodus, a few miles north of East Haddam, had been a matter of scientific speculation for years. Native Indians called East Haddam Morehemoodus, or place of noises, and the town name "Moodus" derived from the Indian word. The earth noises, a peculiar type of earthquake rumbling, apparently have been occurring in that region for years, even prior to the advent of Europeans.
The most severe earthquake in Connecticut's history occurred at East Haddam on May 16, 1791.
Describing that earthquake an observer said: "It began at 8 o'clock p.m., with two very heavy shocks in quick succession. The first was the most powerful; the earth appeared to undergo very violent convulsions. The stone walls were thrown down, chimneys were untopped, doors which were latched were thrown open, and a fissure in the ground of several rods in extent was afterwards discovered. Thirty lighter ones followed in a short time, and upwards of one hundred were counted in the course of the night.
Still another report states: "the day after the earthquake in 1791, it is said that apertures and fissures were observed in the earth and rocks near Moodus River Falls, and that stones of several tons in weight were thrown from their places."
The record shows the next moderate tremor occurred at Hartford in April 1837. It jarred loose articles, set lamps swinging, and rang bells. Alarmed residents rushed from their homes into the streets.
In August 1840, an earthquake of similar intensity centered a few miles southwest of the 1837 tremor. It shook Hartford quite strongly, and was felt at many points in Connecticut. No damage resulted, however. At Chester, not far from East Haddam, observers compared the tremor "to the rumble of thunder." Its origin was apparently 10 to 20 miles north of New Haven.
On June 30, 1858, New Haven was shaken by a moderate tremor at 10:45 in the evening. Residents reported rattling of glasses and a noise "like carriages crossing a bridge." Derby residents were also shaken strongly by this earthquake.
Seventeen years later, on July 28, an early morning tremor shook 2,000 square miles of Connecticut and Massachusetts. Rumbling noises were heard during this intensity V earthquake.
The strongest tremor since that in 1791 hit near Hartford on November 14, 1925, at about 8 a.m. Plaster was knocked from walls, and many residents were frightened. At Windham, dishes were shaken from shelves, and at East Haddam, the familiar "Moodus" rumblings were noted.
In March 1953, Stamford sustained a minor tremor that alarmed many. "Radiators beat a weird tattoo against the floor of the police station," notes one report. Houses were jarred, and earth noises were heard. The tremor caused no damage.
An intensity V earthquake in southern Connecticut occurred on November 3, 1968, at about 3:30 in the morning. Plaster cracked at Madison, furniture shifter at Chester, and small items fell and broke. Loud earth noises accompanied the tremor. The Moodus noises were noted once again at East Haddam.
A few damaging shocks centering in neighboring States, and several Canadian tremors, have been noted by Connecticut citizens the past three hundred years.

- It's really great for our master bath Review by Chuck
Overall It is a great product but like other responses I had trouble wiring it. Finally had to call an expert. We found two places where it was wired incorrectly. All is well with the world now.

- Fixed Thermostat! Works great! Review by Timothy T.
Overall Scott, Thank you so much for your prompt replies. Since the GFCI was tripping I decided to re-check all my wiring. As a result I see what I did to cause the problem. I just now flipped the breaker on and the thermostat and everything is now working PROPERLY!! Thanks again. By the way, these mats worked great under the tile floor in the master bath – everything I could have hoped for!

- Thank you for your great customer service! Review by Karen M
Overall We have just purchased a SunStat Pro model 500670 and love it. However I did not want to use the programmed timing feature. I was not able to figure out how to over ride it so I called your tech support. Wow. I called your toll free number, the call was answered in 2 rings and I spoke to a very nice young man who spoke English, was helpful, gracious and solved my problem. Just wanted to thank you for your great customer service.

- Fantastic Product! Review by Dave Allgire
Overall I installed the complete warm floor in 2008. It has performed flawlessly. Following the explicit instructions insured that I have a very reliable system. The programmable thermostat insures the floor is at a very comfortable temperature when I require it. Your cat or dog will love you for it!!

"Received in fairly good time but did have to chase it up once. However, once received, the product surpassed our expectations and is a really nice piece of furniture which is great quality. I found this on the high Street for almost double the price so this website is VERY competitive. "
"Really pleased with this item. Slight delay in receiving but well worth the wait."
"Bought several items in this range for my young son's bedroom, it looks lovely, is great quality, very sturdy and well made and hopefully will last him a long, long time. Very clean and neat looking - pleased with purchase and service."
"Just to let you know that the item has been delivered and is beautiful. The couriers were great and even took the trouble to unpack it and place it in position as I was in alone. "
"Beautifully made. Thank you."
"Just to advise that my order was delivered as promised, within the timeframe, by a very pleasant delivery man. I'm really pleased with the furniture, the quality is great. Was my first time buying furniture over the internet and was worried that it wouldn't look half as good as it does in the pictures, but it's exactly the same. Thanks for a great service and great product. Will certainly buy from you again, and recommendations to my friends have already started!! "
"Good solid piece of furniture"
"Just emailing to say a big thanks, especially to Jason, this was a brilliant present for my wife, she was delighted. Beautiful furniture and saved me over £100."
"I would just like to say thank you for a fantastic service. All too often people are too quick to complain and never take the time to actually say thank you. From order process through to delivery I have had nothing but pleasurable experiences in dealing with your company, the sales people - a lady whose name I have sadly forgotten and Adam Hill were nothing short of fantastic, ensuring that my demanding requirements could be met (short lead time and hour delivery slot!), your delivery driver actually waited from 3:30pm until 5:30 which is unheard of, I am amazed! And of course last but most importantly the quality of the furniture you sent is brilliant and priced ultra-competitively. Thanks for a great service, I know in future where I will be buying furniture from when I next need it."
"Great Product and totally as described. Well made and looks very expensive."

Pre Stepdown Modern Rear End
Anybody know some equivalent higher speed rear ends to fit a 39? I have a list for stepdown but they are about 5 in narrower. Thanx.
Uncle Josh-
Are you saying a step-down is 5" narrower than a '39? -
I used a 1976 Ford Granada rear end on my 1935 Hudson8.It was almost an exact match for the original rear end. All we had to change was the pads.I believe these mid seventies ford 8 inch rear ends are common and inexpensive. I bought the Granada for $800 and drove it for a few years before using the drive train and alot of other parts in the 35.
RL Chilton wrote:Uncle Josh-

That's what my measuring stick says. Had to get the wheels inside the fender skirts but it worked out good for racing. -
That's useful information about Ford Granada rear ends for us 34 and 35 Hudson 8 owners. How can I get more detailed information on this conversion, please ?
I haven't done a Hudson, but have done others, and they're all pretty much the same process- Take out the Hudson rear, set it beside the replacement, and move the flat brackets that the springs sit on, to match the spacing on the Hudson. And that's pretty much it, other than re-attaching brake lines and driveshaft.
I helped a friend of mine do one in his car 'of a different make'.
He went and bought a couple spring perchs from a trailer supply store that way he could leave the original rear intact.
He used a couple magnetic angle gauges to get the right angle on the new brackets and welded them on and we threw it in. Took about a day to do it. He says so far so good....
Jeff -
I have a Lincoln rearend in my 36. The modifications were completed before I bought the car so all we had to do was shorten and balance the drive shaft. My 28 Essex that I am building has a Mecury Bobcat rear end in it. All we had to do to that one was move the pads.Brownie
Well that is interesting on the Granada.
I went today and measured a Ford 8.8 from a 90ish ( he said) Mustang. The overall length was within 1" so no problem. But I then discovered the pinion offset was not centered like my Hudson rear. It was 1" off to the left. Dont think thats gonna work as it will put the driveline out of alignment. So guess I will keep looking....
Not to mention it was a Craigslist posting and NOT as 'clean' or gearing what he claimed it was. LET THE BUYER BEWARE!
Jeff -
I used a diff from a 1968-69 Roadrunner in my 46 4-door and it fit just fine,just reposition the diff pads. mine is a 3.36 ratio ( use the Mopar Corpation diff) built by Mopar.
Hope this helps Rudy -
On my '37 Terraplane I used a diff. from a 65 Dodge 6 cyl. std. trans. I think it is 3.73 ratio. It was off center also, it's o.k. as long as the driveshaft doesn't rub on the x-frame opening. The important thing is to make sure all angles are the same degree on each end of the driveshaft to prevent bad vibes.
My 1947 Hudson pick-up has some alterations including a 1971 Ford 9 inch Cougar rear end - drum to drum and with the spring perches welded further inboard it is a great fit.Running a 1956 Hornet engine the 3 to 1 ratio did not work with the Hudson overdrive so I swapped the "pumpkin " for 350 to 1 which is better but 370 or 411 would be better.
The 350 however will run it over 80 mph - course it is unstoppable at that speed ! The wheel bolt pattern is same as Hudson and I run Hudson sedan 15 inch wheels. Don't know if this would work on a 1939 however. Gert Kristiansen Deseret Chapter. -
The 90's T-Bird 8.8 rear end is the same as Mustang except it has 5 studs on the axle flange. The axles and brake drums are interchangeable with Mustang 8.8 rear end. Must use T-Bird brake drums if putting T-Bird axles in Mustang houseing because of slight difference in axle length.
All good info!
Granada rears are not easy to come by as I have discovered, nor are 9"-unless you have lotsa extra $$.
I like the idea of the T-Bird so as to keep the same wheel bolt pattern. That too is one of my goals.
8" rearends of various models dont seem to be as pricey nor do the 8 1/4 mopars.
Now just have to hunt for correct length and gear ratio I want...hunt, measure, hunt, measure..
Jeff -
Ive narrowed Ford 9" rear tubes to be equal width on the Racer but kept the slight offset on my St Rod applications and have had no driveline angularity problem drive shaft running slightly left. It may lose a little inertia thru the joints but neglible. -
The 90's T-Bird 8.8 rear end is the same as Mustang except it has 5 studs on the axle flange. The axles and brake drums are interchangeable with Mustang 8.8 rear end. Must use T-Bird brake drums if putting T-Bird axles in Mustang houseing because of slight difference in axle length.
I believe this holds true with the 80's T-Birds also. Before T-Bird indepentent rear suspension. -
I have been down this road twice, first with a 1940 Hudson, next with a 36. With the 1940, I searched and searched, and finally found a 1966 Plymouth axle. Big dollars, brakes needed complete rebuilding.
Therefore, unless you have lots of $$$, forget about the old Ford 9" rears, and those from various MoPars from the 1960-1970's; those are now antiques, and big money, plus they need rebuilding. For some reason, every time this topic pops up, the answer is to use what is now an antique rear, when there is a better way: modern (read cheap) rears are far more readily available, and do not need rebuilding, de-rusting, etc.
The way to go with a 36 car is to use a Ford Ranger style rear. They are known as Ford 8.8". I put one from a 2006 Explorer in a 36 car,and it was 1/2 inch narrower, which is 1/4" on each side. No problem there.
The amazing thing is that the thing almost bolted in. I had a welding guy burn off the Ford spring hangars, etc, and fabricate new spring perches, using the Hudson axle as a guide.
After changing the front yoke, the Hudson U-joint fit...the driveshaft was exactly the right length. The Hudson hydraulic brake Tee also fit in the Ford hole, was only 1/2 inch off, and the threads were the same! I used a Lokar universal e-brake kit for hot rods to get that hooked up.
You just need to make sure that the angle of the pinon is angled down to the same degree as the Hudson angle was, otherwise you will have vibrations problems.
The best thing is to contact the local rear axle shop. All cities have at least one, a specialist who just rebuilds rear axles for dealers, etc, kind of like a root-canal dentist just does that, upon referrals from regular dentists. They know all about install issues, as does the local hot-rod fabrication shop. Also, the local driveshaft shop, where that is all they do...They know all about the pinion angle situation.
But please stop with the suggestion to use old 1960 mopars, Ford 9'', etc. Those were good choices 30 or so years ago, but now those cars a collectible antiques, thus their parts are made from unobtanium, and are $$$$. Even 1990 Mustangs, T-birds, etc, are getting hard to locate.
The modern 8.8 Fords (still being made..you don't have to go to early 1990 cars) fit width-wise, have the same bolt pattern as Hudson, and junkyards literally have dozens of them, from various cars/suvs/trucks, with various widths, with plenty of ratios available. -
OK,here's some info.for 4 1/2 bolt patterns.if i knew how wide yours is i help some more{i hope this helps}

I HOPE i didn't muddy the waters to much with all this info---ChuckHave you kissed a PIT BULL lately?
Greeley Colorado -
Got t'thinkin about my earlier post. Combo of early data and bad memory maybe. Plus was measuring to inside of backing plate which has several different surfaces. So I measured a couple of rear ends the best I could with a tape measure the other day. To outside of hub where the rim touches.
54 Super Wasp (All stepdown's should be the same.) 57 inches
39 Country Club 60 1/4
I have a rear end from a 99 explorer waiting to go in my 47 truck. It is disk brake, traction loc(posi), same bolt pattern, an cost $125. The width is very close, with 1/2" I think. It is an 8.8 which is a very good axle.
Around 2000 they went to independent rear, so even these are getting snatched up and harder to find.
I'll post pics when I finally get it installed. -
Many thanks chopperchuck, your info saves a lot of time wandering around a wrecking yard with a tape measure.
I looked into this and was told that rear disk only would work, but it is obviously not ideal. I do plan to install front disks soon. I have a complete setup from a 94 mustang I as going to work with, but the disks are too large to keep oe wheels. The plus side is the parts are cheap, common, and the brakes would be very beefy :)
Matt -
Sorry, I wasn't too clear. Rear disk only, front would still be drum. It doesn't sound like a good idea, but doing some research it s plausible and should be ok. I do not plan to do it however, I will do the entire swap at once.
Thanks i was going to post more info,but was afraid of mudding up the waters to much,i plan on using a jeep cherokee rear,you can get em in drum or disc W/many ratios also can get em open or closed {possi or non-posi}--chuckHave you kissed a PIT BULL lately?
Greeley Colorado -
4From what I understand, many Jeep owners are doing Exploreratorys (swapping out their Jeep rearends for Explorer rearends, which they claim are more dependable and rugged).
Only if your going 4X4ing,but on the street they're pretty good {got 1 with over 170,xxx on it}-chuckHave you kissed a PIT BULL lately?

This fight happened just before 3 a.m. Nov. 1 at Rancharito Restaurant in Provo.
The surveillance video shows several young people in what looks like a heated discussion. Then the man in a gray t-shirt throws the first punch and the violence erupts... with several people whaling away at each other.
The video also shows a man in a black t-shirt punch a young woman in the head. She falls to the ground.
The fight spills over from the dining area to a order counter where another camera captures two men wrestling on the ground and then a total of five guys fist fighting.
Provo police say they are still trying to identify everyone involved, but say there are allegations some of the men are members of the BYU football team.
Police say once the investigation is complete the Provo city attorney will decide what, if any, charges will be filed.

Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians, Christman/Kraus-Anderson and MIOSHA Sign Partnership to Ensure Worker Safety at Four Winds Casino Project This is the first MIOSHA partnership with an Indian NationContact: Judith Shane 517-322-1791Agency: Licensing and Regulatory AffairsMay 2, 2012 - The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians (Pokagon Band), Christman/Kraus-Anderson, a joint venture (CKA), the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA), the Michigan and Southwest Michigan Building and Construction Trades Councils, and the Partnering Contractors signed a formal partnership on May 1st, to protect workers at the Four Winds Casino New Buffalo Expansion Project. The MIOSHA program is part of LARA. The partnership goal is enhanced safety and health protection and zero injuries for workers on this major facility project. The Pokagon Band is a Supporting Partner to this agreement. "We are honored to join with Christman today in its fourth construction partnership. On every project they have demonstrated an exemplary commitment to protect their workers," said LARA Deputy Director Rob Nederhood. "We are also honored to recognize the leadership of the Pokagon Band on this historic partnership that emphasizes worker protections for this outstanding Four Winds Casino expansion project." The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians is in the process of adding a nine-story hotel tower to its Four Winds Casino New Buffalo complex, which is located on Pokagon Band trust land in New Buffalo, Michigan. Christman/Kraus-Anderson (a joint venture of The Christman Company and Minnesota-based Kraus-Anderson Construction Company) is serving as construction manager on the $50 million expansion tower which will contain 251 suites and rooms. A new 1,600-seat, 70,000 square-foot multi-use event center is part of the expansion and also underway is a 13,000 square-foot Hard Rock Cafe Four Winds restaurant. "A shared focus on safety with the partners on our construction projects is a positive extension of the values of the Pokagon Band which provide for the health, safety and welfare of our own members," said Matthew Wesaw, Pokagon Band Tribal Chairman. "We strongly support this initiative to put respect for human safety at the top of everyone's priorities." Signing partners included: Jay Smith, Senior Vice President, CKA; Don Staley, Safety Manager, CKA; Matthew Wesaw, Tribal Council Chairman, Pokagon Band; Hugh Coward, President, Southwest Michigan Building and Construction Trades Council; Rob Nederhood, Deputy Director, LARA; and Martha Yoder, Director, MIOSHA. Also signing were the subcontractors and building trades unions working on the project. "Safety is a top priority on every project and we want every worker to return to his or her home and family safely each day," said Don Staley, Corporate Safety Manager for Christman/Kraus-Anderson. "We are pleased and proud that virtually every organization involved in this project is not only philosophically embracing the ideal vision of a zero-injury workplace - but also agreeing to support the tactical action plans outlined in this agreement to help make it happen." The Partnering Employers include: Booms Stone; Carrier Construction Company; Cavalier Painting; Christman Constructors, Inc.; Cook Jackson; Calvin & Co.; Davenport Masonry; Hunt / Swan; Johnson Controls, Inc.; John E. Green; Limbach; Meyer Glass; Midland Engineering; Midwest Tile & Interiors; Premier Caulking; Otis Elevators; Steelcon; and William Reichenbach Company. The Southwest Michigan and the Michigan Building and Construction Trades Councils and their affiliate unions are supportive of this partnership. The partnering unions include: Operating Engineers, Local #324; Laborers, Local #355; Plumbers/Pipefitters, Local #357; Painters, Local #312; Heat & Frost Insulators & Asbestos Workers, Local #75; Plasterers and Cement Masons, Local #16; Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters; Bricklayers, Local #9; Sheet Metal, Local #20; Electrical Workers, Local #153; Roofers, Local # 23; Ironworkers, Local #292; Sprinkler Fitters, Local #669; Boilermakers Local #169. "We know that work-related injuries and illnesses costs the nation billions of dollars in salary and other compensation every year, not to mention the impact on the workers and their loved ones," said Hugh Coward, President of the Southwest Michigan Building and Construction Trade Council. "We recognize safety as good business, too, and are happy to add the voices of our membership to this important initiative." In addition to zero injuries and accidents, the key elements to the CKA site-specific Safety and Health Program for the Four Winds Hotel New Buffalo Expansion are (this list is not intended to be all encompassing):
Partnerships are an important emphasis in MIOSHA's Strategic Plan to improve the health and safety of workers through cooperative relationships with groups, including trade associations, labor organizations, and employers. Partnerships move away from traditional enforcement methods and embrace collaborative agreements. "The MIOSHA program is dedicated to working with employers to find innovative ways to enhance workplace safety and health," said MIOSHA Director Martha Yoder. "Through partnerships, MIOSHA can offer employers a voluntary, cooperative relationship to help eliminate serious hazards and achieve a high level of safety and health." The partnership does not preclude MIOSHA from enforcing its mission of addressing complaints, fatalities, or serious accidents, nor does it infringe on the rights of employees to report workplace hazards. The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians' federal recognition was restored and signed into law by President Clinton in September of 1994. The tribe's ten-county service area includes four counties in Southwestern Michigan and six in Northern Indiana. The Pokagon Band provides services including housing, education, family services, medical care and cultural preservation to approximately 4,400 Pokagon citizens. In 2007, it opened Four Winds Casino Resort in New Buffalo, Mich., which is the premier gaming destination in the Midwest. The Tribe's administrative offices are located in Dowagiac, Mich. More information is available at www.pokagon.com. Christman/Kraus-Anderson is a construction management joint venture of The Christman Company, a Michigan-based ENR 400-based top contracting firm founded in 1894, and Kraus-Anderson Construction, a Minnesota-based constructor founded in 1897 that has completed more gaming, hotel and other projects on tribal lands than any other contractor in the United States.

Ever since Sabrina Collins was 12 years old, she has been making her own beauty products from stuff around the house. "I had this knack for making things natural, without chemicals," she says. Her first real success? An acne mask made out of oatmeal, comfrey, honey and her mom's Nature's Gate conditioner. "I had acne you could see from a distance. My mom would bring home Clearasil that never worked. I wanted to clear up my skin. So I said, 'I'm gonna make something,' and it worked. It worked!"
The pockmark-free Collins, whose hair and skin quite literally glow, got the idea from growing up in a household of down-home craftsy women. "Everyone in the family always had something they created with their own hands," says the mother of two, enthusiasm bubbling forth. Her maternal grandmother was a Cherokee Indian who "was always in the kitchen concocting something." Her paternal grandmother was from "The Carolinas," and her hippie-leaning mother was an art-school grad who made all her kids' clothes. "Coming up, she made everything we wore, except our underwear."

Nowadays, the New York transplant has her own company, Face Your Body Aromatherapy — Healing for the Mind, Body, Spirit, which she runs out of her West Adams garage, and sells her wares at the Hollywood Farmers Market. The all-natural line, made up of bath salts, soaps, scented oils, seaweed baths, body butters and lotions, and loofah-soap combinations, is 100 percent handmade, and created with the purpose of relaxation in mind. Although she's expanded her business by doing gift bags for weddings, bridal showers, production-company holiday parties, and the nonprofits Planned Parenthood and Black Women for Wellness, she remains loyal to "the market."

A black-sugar scrub and a rich, nourishing seaweed bath, made from dried seaweed that's been treated in lavender, rosemary and frankincense, are her newest products, and for the summer she plans on working with clay. "Red clay, blue clay, whatever I can get." She is also developing a line of raw beauty products, "like raw foods," which would be made on the spot and would have to be kept in the fridge.
The most frequently asked beauty question? How to deal with dry skin. "I tell them, put a bit of apple-cider vinegar in the bath water and moisturize really well after you get out with one of my body butters or lotions." Her most memorable testimony?"Well, I've had a lot of people tell me that the oils, especially the 'More' blend, have, how can I say it? Heightened their romantic evenings? Yeah, that's a good way to say it."

Abstract: 31-year-old female presents to the emergency department with chest pain.
Malignant variant of anomalous RCA
Axial maximum-intensity projection (MIP) and parasagittal images from a computed tomography angiography (CTA) examination are provided. The axial MIP image demonstrates the right coronary artery (RCA) arising from the left coronary cusp just anterior to the origin of the left coronary artery (LCA). The parasagittal image demonstrates the RCA passing between the ascending aorta and the right ventricular outflow tract.
Congenital anomalies of the coronary arteries are rare, occurring in approximately 1% of patients. Approximately 90% of these anomalies involve the origins of the coronary arteries with the remaining 10% representing coronary artery fistulas. The aortic valve normally has 3 cusps, including the left coronary cusp, which gives rise to the left main coronary artery, the right coronary cusp, which gives rise to the RCA, and the non-coronary cusp, which does not have an associated coronary artery. The LCA usually divides proximally into the left anterior descending coronary artery and the circumflex coronary artery. The origins of the coronary arteries should be perpendicular to the lumen of the aorta.
Many anomalies of the coronary arteries are incidental and of no clinical significance, but some may be symptomatic and can result in sudden cardiac death. There are 2 variants of an anomalous origin of the RCA, benign and malignant. The malignant variant is much more common with the RCA typically arising from the anterior aspect of the left coronary cusp between the origin of the LCA and the anterior commissure. The RCA then courses between the aorta and the pulmonary artery. The malignant nature of this variant is due to the fact that the artery travels between 2 high-pressure systems, which may compress the coronary artery, as well as the abnormal slit-like ostium of the RCA as it arises from the aorta at an abnormal angle. It is postulated that dilation of the aorta with exercise may result in further narrowing of the ostium. The benign course of the RCA travels posterior and inferior to the aorta.
Patients with the malignant variant of anomalous RCA may be asymptomatic or present with angina, myocardial infarction, or sudden death. Treatment consists of reimplantation of the anomalous vessel to the right coronary cusp in young patients. Older patients who have been asymptomatic may not need surgical treatment as the risk of sudden cardiac death appears to decrease with age.

05 July 2012
The project – which dates back 15 years to 1997 when datasets were first harmonised and migrated to the R5 solution from SQL Systems, now Infor10 EAM – was originally aimed at sharing data and setting up procedures. However, earlier this year, a maintenance order management platform for mobile engineers and technicians went live. Also, an 'EAM Lite' data access application over the web is now being implemented ready for availability next summer (2013). CERN systems engineer Pedro Martel explains that every user will then be able to adapt the system to their own working environment, based on a secure data foundation. "We are continuing to develop new projects around Infor10 EAM, based on integrating new applications that provide our users with more services. [This] means that, in particular, they can overcome a certain number of time and location based constraints." And he adds that late last year, the Infor10 EAM solution was interfaced with an ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) service desk tool, which provides all users with a single point of contact, whatever type of maintenance problem has to be dealt with. That tool was deployed in November 2011 and went live at the beginning of 2012. It enabled up to 700 maintenance orders to be catalogued in Infor10 EAM for January 2012 alone. With more than one million pieces of equipment to manage, in addition to its internal personnel, CERN uses about 50 external service providers, with a range of service agreements, including fixed-fee contracts, performance-based contracts, task and component based agreements etc. Hence, says Martel, the requirement for a flexible management system, so that every equipment item and maintenance task can be traced – so helping to anticipate malfunctions and maintain uptime for CERN's scientific research programmes. Today, a large part of CERN's infrastructure maintenance activities, such as caretaking, roads, heating and cooling, security etc, as well as part of its scientific instrumentation activity, are managed using Infor10 EAM, he says. The system generates more than 180,000 work orders per year, schedules preventative maintenance tasks, provides stock control functionality and organises maintenance and inspection programmes. For the scientific instruments, a manufacturing control system has also been set up. With about 200,000 in-scope equipment items identified, Infor10 EAM has become the heart of this system. "Maintenance starts as soon as an event has been generated in the Infor10 EAM system," explains Martel. "If the solution is not available, maintenance cannot be carried out. Only data stored in Infor10 EAM is considered valid and only data entered into the system can be used for payment."
