Hello everyone, I've lurked the forums occasionally for a while, amazed at what some people are doing, dreaming of someday being able to draw half as well as some of the people on here.
As a child people around me would disapprove my artistic efforts, leading me to believe people were either born with artistic talent or not. Years later I'd discover this to be completely untrue, great artistry comes from constant practice and dedication. So here I am, on my way to be as best as I can be.
I recently moved out of my mum's house and got a job at a local ad agency to pay the bills, I'm trying to draw daily, and I'm getting to the point where I feel bad if I'm sitting around waiting for something and I don't have my sketchbook with me. I'm also thinking of starting a local sketchgroup so I can stay motivated studying with other people.
I'm here to make friends and watch other artists progress (hopefully along with me), even though right now my art isn't anywhere near where I'd like it to be, I'm willing to put in the blood, sweat and tears to get there. Any crits or any comments at all from you guys would mean the world to me. Thanks for looking!

Which in fact brings up another problem: somebody has to lose.
I've always had a little bit of a problem with competition, even once earning a that's-the-dumbest-thing-you've-ever-said look from my daughter by asking why she didn't just let the boys in the neighborhood win at ping pong when it so upset their equilibrium to lose to her.
Music is a good field to be in if you're not into competition.
Though even orchestra and band programs have managed to come up with invitational-this and festival-that with scores and ranks, most times those of us who've performed in orchestras or bands are working together with those around us to bring enjoyment to those in the audience. So everybody wins. Nobody loses.
We just happened to be living in Portland when the Dream Team came for the Tournament of the Americas in 1992. The tournament was held so that teams from North and South America could determine by elimination which team would represent the Americas at the Olympics coming up in Barcelona.
There was really no question about whether or not the team put together by the U.S., which for the first time included professional players, would make the cut.
The teams practiced in a community college in our area and, since our kids took swimming lessons at the same facility, we'd see players from Venezuela and Canada and Argentina and keep a sharp look out for our fellow countrymen, including Magic Johnson and Larry Bird and company.
But it was at the games we attended that the most remarkable thing happened.
Before they even started, the players on the teams opposing the United States would delay the play so they could get their pictures taken with the United States players.
They knew they would not win (or even get very close), but just being there on the same floor with people they admired made it a victory of sorts. So they posed, smiling, to record the memory even knowing a loss was coming.

Update: 11 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 28: A tsunami warning that had been issued late Saturday evening for Hawaii has been downgraded today for those islands, however remains in effect in Northern California.
The warning and the following advisories for the Hawaiian islands, the Oregon coastline and Northern California were issued following a major 7.7-magnitude earthquake in the Queen Charlotte Islands region, off the coast of western Canada.
The National Weather Service canceled the tsunami advisories for Hawaii and Oregon, but has left the tsunami advisory in effect for Northern California, specifically a section of the California coastline about 80 miles north of San Francisco that stretches to the Oregon line.
"Tsunami wave heights across the state of Hawaii are now below advisory levels and are continuing to diminish. Based on all available data the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center is now cancelling the tsunami advisory. Smaller sea level changes and strong or unusual currents may persist for several additional hours and appropriate caution should be exercised by boaters and swimmers," the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said.
A tsunami warning has been issued for coastal areas of Northern California, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The warning starts around 80 miles north of San Francisco at Gualala Point and extends north, according to the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center.
Tsunami warnings have also been issued for Hawaii and parts of British Columbia and Alaska following a 7.7 magnitude earthquake that occurred around 8 p.m. Saturday evening, 86 miles south of Masset, British Columbia, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center initially reported no tsunami threat to Hawaii. However, it then issued a warning late Saturday saying a tsunami had been generated due to the earthquake in western Canada that could cause damage along coastlines of all islands in Hawaii.
It cautioned that urgent action should be taken to protect lives and property and said the warning remains in effect until 7 p.m. Sunday.
It said the estimated arrival time in Hawaii of the first tsunami wave was 10:28 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 27 Hawaii time, which is three hours behind California time.

This page is a compilation of all of Thorlabs' SM2 (2.035"-40) threaded translation mounts in order to allow for the quick selection of a translation mount if SM2 threading is a primary requirement. Thorlabs also has similar compilations of SM threaded translation mounts for Ø1/2" (12.7 mm) and Ø1" (25 mm) optics. If SM threading is not a primary requirement for the translation mount, consider using the manual or motorized translation mount navigation menus.
This mount utilizes two M3 x 0.25 fine adjustment screws to provide ±1 mm of travel along both axes perpendicular to the optical axis. The 250 µm/rev adjustment screws have 5/64" hex socket in the back end of each screw so that hex key may be used to achieve for better feel than the thumb screw knob when making small incremental movements. The mounting bore for the optic is SM2 (2.035"-40) threaded, which makes the mount compatible with SM2 lens tubes and other SM2-threaded components. The optic is held in the mount using the included SM2RR retaining ring.
The CXY2 XY Translator provides ±2 mm of travel perpendicular to the optical axis in a 60 mm cage system. The moveable carriage is internally SM2 (2.035"-40) threaded and accepts Ø2" optics up to 0.59" (15.0 mm) thick. Thicker optics can be mounted into an SM2 lens tube, which then may be attached to the front of the translator. The fixed backside is also SM2 threaded to allow SM2 lens tubes to be attached. While the mount features a non-rotating center carriage, the mount does feature horizontal and vertical tick marks to ensure proper alignment of the moveable carriage.
The SPT2 Slip Plate Positioner is designed to provide coarse XY positioning of Ø2" optical components within our 60 mm cage assembly system. The SM2-threaded bore can mount optics up to 0.30" (7.6 mm) thick using two SM2RR retaining rings (not included). This design provides manual adjustments of ±2 mm of travel and is best utilized in conjunction with an alignment laser to monitor the centricity. The images below detail how to adjust and lock the SPT2.
While continuing to hold the plate in the proper position, use the 5/32" (4.0 mm) balldriver to lock the locking hex screws.
Once the locking hex screws are unlocked, manually adjust the slip plate to the desired location in the X and Y directions.
The photo above shows the SPT2 mounted within a cage system, with the slip plate centered. To begin adjustment, use a 5/32" (4.0 mm) balldriver to loosen the two locking hex screws (visible in the photo above).

Received May 28, 2010; Revised October 04, 2010; Revised February 15, 2011; Revised May 12, 2011; Accepted June 16, 2011.
Objective The authors designed an intervention to reduce beginning medical students' stigmatization of people with chronic mental illness (CMI).
Methods Pre-clinical medical students visited a state psychiatric facility's "Living Museum," a combination patient art studio/display space, as the intervention. During the visit, students interacted with artist-guides who showed their work and discussed their experiences creating art. Students completed a self-assessment survey developed to measure attitudes and feelings toward people with CMI after half of the class visited the Living Museum, constituting a Visit/No-Visit cross-sectional comparison.
Results Students who visited the Living Museum (N=64), as compared with those who did not visit (N=110), endorsed more positive attitudes toward people with CMI. Among the students who visited, however, those who reported having spoken individually with a patient-artist (N=44), paradoxically, indicated less-positive feelings toward people with CMI.
Conclusions An intervention in which pre-clinical medical students visited patient-artist guides in an art-studio setting generally improved students' attitudes toward people with CMI. Thus, nontraditional psychiatric settings offer a valuable adjunct to more traditional clinical settings to reduce stigma when introducing medical students to the field of psychiatry.
Stigma toward psychiatric patients remains a challenge for our field despite efforts at reduction (1, 2). In psychiatric education, stigma plays a significant role in shaping medical students' views of individuals living with psychiatric disorders (3, 4). Stigma also impedes recruitment of talented students to join our field (5, 6).
The "contact hypothesis" proposes that experiences characterized by interpersonal contact can reduce stigma, particularly when participants with relatively equal status interact around cooperative tasks. This hypothesis is based on observations made in efforts to change prejudicial attitudes across a variety of populations, including racial and ethnic groups (7–9). Even brief interventions addressing stigma have shown relatively long-lasting impact (10). Yet efforts to reduce stigma via intergroup interaction can be complex, with unintended consequences, such as exacerbating social distancing when individuals become self-conscious about being perceived as prejudiced (11, 12). Based upon these principles, our present study describes an intervention designed to reduce preclinical medical students' stigmatization of people with chronic mental illness (CMI).
We utilized an off-site facility housed within a state psychiatric hospital–the Living Museum (LM)–that functions as an art studio and display space. The artwork is produced by patients; many, currently inpatients, some previously hospitalized but currently living in the community. The often vibrant paintings, drawings, sculptures, and photographs cover a wide range of styles, content, and emotions: from abstract to realistic, landscapes to portraits, intensely personal to social, and serious or unsettling to light-hearted.
Two consecutive classes of second-year medical students enrolled in Psychiatric Medicine, a required two-semester (Spring and then Fall) preclinical course sequence at Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons, were potential participants (combined total: 314). Visiting the LM was required for all students. There were 120 participants in 2008 (76% of the class) and 102 participants in 2009 (65% of the class), for a combined response rate of 71% (222 students). We obtained Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval.
Our self-assessment instrument (available upon request) included 24 items eliciting participants' ratings of their attitudes and feelings toward people with CMI. These questions were developed de novo, using an evaluation process model methodology (13) that generated a set of observable behaviors from existing literature and previous feedback about LM visits. Given that students' empathy levels may influence their attitudes (14), we included an existing Empathic Concern subscale (15). We also obtained information about the LM visit experience and students' previous exposure to people with CMI.
The usual course-administration procedure was followed regarding assignment of the students to 1 of 24 preceptor-led groups of 13 persons. Specifically, the course director's administrative assistant shuffled, and then randomly sorted, the students' individual photos into the designated number of groups. These groups were then randomly assigned a date to visit; in both cohort-years, half of the groups visited during the Spring semester, and half visited the following Fall. During each student group visit, patient-artists provided tours, showed their work, and discussed creating art. Students had the opportunity to ask questions or speak with the artists if they chose to do so. All students completed the questionnaire at the beginning of the Fall semester–whether or not they had attended the LM (thus constituting the Visit or No-Visit groups)–during a psychiatry lecture that all second-year students were expected to attend. No personal identification was elicited, ensuring student anonymity.
The final valid sample for analysis consisted of 174 students, of which 64 students had visited the LM and 110 students had not yet visited. Of those who had visited, 44 students reported having spoken individually with a patient-artist. Surveys were included in the analysis only if they were sufficiently complete and, for students who had visited, if patient-artists were present at the LM. Comparisons were planned between 1) the Visit/No-Visit groups, and 2) within the Visit group, between those students who reported having spoken individually with a patient-artist, and those who did not. Background analyses indicated that there were no group differences in students' previous exposure to people with CMI in the students' personal lives or in a work or volunteer setting, with one exception: those students who reported previous exposure to people with CMI in a work or volunteer setting were more likely to report speaking individually with a patient-artist during their LM visits (p=0.005). The possible implications of this group difference will be addressed in the discussion. Background analysis also found no group differences in baseline empathy.
An exploratory factor analysis of the 24 questionnaire items that we developed to survey students' attitudes and feelings toward people with CMI yielded the following six factors, which included 18 questions and accounted for 60.5% of the variance: 1) Contentment of people with CMI (16.5%); 2) Negative Feelings toward people with CMI (12.3%); 3) Positive Feelings toward people with CMI (9.9%); 4) Discomfort in Interactions with people with CMI (8.4%); 5) Positive Personality Traits of people with CMI (7.1%); and 6) Hopelessness of people with CMI (6.3%). (Details of the factor analysis, for example, eigenvalues and principal components, are available upon request). These factors served as the basis for subsequent analyses. In particular, an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) tested for significant differences in attitudes and feelings toward people with CMI through attendance at the LM and intensity of the experience (i.e., whether students reported having spoken individually with a patient-artist during their visits). Students' empathy scores were included as a covariate for each analysis, to control statistically for individual differences in empathy. Finally, student comments routinely collected as part of the ongoing evaluation of the curriculum were searched for mention of the LM and content-analyzed for relevance.
We present a sample of students' written reflections initially to illustrate the complicated impact of the LM experience. They were, in many ways, positive—for example: "This man defied my preconceived notion of a patient hospitalized for psychiatric illness; he made me realize that mental illness is only one part of the patient's story, and should not necessarily define him or her as a person;" but, with a down-side as well: "… though we have heard delusions shared from psychiatric patients before, it has been in our space—a medical space dominated by white coats and an environment controlled by us. Here, we were solidly in Mr. A's space. The discomfort among our group as Mr. A's delusions accelerated was palpable." Nevertheless, the students seemed to vary in their capacity to handle the setting and understand how it may influence their learning: "It suddenly became so real to me, the first time I had ever talked to someone who freely admitted to having a psychotic disorder. I think the trip to the Living Museum really brought me out of the comfort zone of class . . . which will certainly better my understanding of the reality of psychiatric illness."
In our quantitative data, significant differences were found for two of the three positive-focused dependent measures in comparing students who visited the LM to students who had not yet visited (Table 1). Specifically, students who visited reported more Positive Feelings toward and more Positive Personality Traits of people with CMI. The covariate, Empathy, was also significant for these two factors. Among students who visited the LM, two additional significant findings emerged (Table 2). First, students who reported speaking individually with a patient-artist endorsed less Hopelessness in people with CMI than those who had visited yet indicated not speaking with a patient-artist. Second, students who reported speaking individually with a patient-artist endorsed less Positive Feelings toward people with CMI than those who had visited yet indicated not speaking with an artist.
SD: standard deviation; CMI: chronic mental illness.
On a scale of 1: Strongly Disagree to 5: Strongly Agree.
The variable Empathy is significant as a covariate: F=18.9; p <0.001.
The variable Empathy is significant as a covariate: F=4.4; p <0.05.
The variable Empathy is significant as a covariate: F=4.9; p <0.05.
This latter finding was counter to our expectations that more intense engagement with artists would add to the benefit of the intervention. Therefore we conducted three additional post-hoc analyses, with a Bonferroni-adjusted significance level of 0.016, to further investigate the relationship among the three positive factors. Using a repeated-measures ANCOVA, with Positive Feelings and Positive Personality Traits as the dependent measures and Speaking Individually as the independent measure, the interaction was significant (F=8.5; p=0.005). Interestingly, the group of students who indicated not speaking individually with an artist indicated more positive feelings toward people with CMI. No other significant interactions were observed in the remaining comparisons. The covariate, Empathy, was not significant in any of these analyses.
Finally, for exploratory purposes, we compared Empathy scores with each of our six dependent measures. As coded by a simple median split and group-mean analysis of variance, high-Empathy students had more Positive Feelings (p=0.002) toward and perceived more Positive Personality Traits (p=0.013) in people with CMI than did low-Empathy students. These findings lend support to our original decision to include the Empathy variable as a covariate measure to isolate as much as possible the effect of visiting the LM.
Preclinical medical students' visits to the Living Museum (LM) had a positive impact on their self-reported attitudes toward people with chronic mental illness (CMI), as compared with students who had not yet visited the facility, even when controlling for empathy level. This finding is consistent with an extensive "stigma" literature, and it confirms our initial hypothesis that exposure to patients in a setting focusing on their functioning as individuals (i.e., artists) rather than their psychiatric symptoms, would contribute to medical students' less-stigmatized view of people with CMI. This study is the first to extend the stigma literature and the implications of the contact hypothesis into the area of medical student education in psychiatry with a systematically planned and assessed intervention in which students were assigned to a patient Contact or No-Contact condition (16).
In light of our findings, however, it is also the case that those students who reported themselves as having spoken individually with artists indicated more hopefulness about—but also less positive feelings toward—people with CMI, when compared with those students who had visited the LM yet reported not speaking individually with an artist. Follow-up analyses corroborated our finding that students who visited and did not speak individually with an artist reported a higher level of agreement with statements denoting positive feelings toward people with CMI than all other comparisons within the interaction. It is the Positive Feelings Toward factor that appears to account for these differences; other comparisons were not significant.
This finding is contrary to our initial hypothesis, in that we expected that the degree to which students' feelings and attitudes toward people with CMI improved would be related to the intensity of interaction, with more interaction and individual contact predicting more improvement. On the other hand, this finding is consistent with previous work indicating that interactions with stigmatized groups—specifically people with CMI—can be unappealing (17–22) as well as anxiety-producing, and even stressful (14, 23–25). Furthermore, the contact-hypothesis literature suggests that the nature of the contact is critical for the desired result, and intergroup contact may either change or confirm existing stereotypes, depending on the nature of the experience (11, 26). As one student's comments indicate, leaving the "comfort zone" of the medical setting is not easy. For example, recognizing the shared humanity in disorganized, delusional patients can make us all aware of our own vulnerabilities and can bring to the surface the fear that we ourselves may be at risk of disorganization and dysfunction. Stigmatization is a ubiquitous and entrenched phenomenon: it should not be surprising that diminishing the stigmatization of people with CMI would defy simple solutions.
The medical education literature has tended to focus on empathy as a target of change, yet the factors contributing to its change in medical students and health professionals remain a matter of debate (27, 28). In the present study, students' Empathy scores (when included as a covariate) accounted for much of the variance in our significant findings. From the outset, we did not expect empathy to change as a result of this one brief intervention. Therefore, different from other studies in medical education in which interest lies in increasing empathy (or at least preventing it from diminishing), we controlled for it statistically to focus on the effect of the intervention itself.
This study illustrates that nontraditional settings can be a valuable adjunct to more-traditional clinical settings to reduce stigma when introducing medical students to psychiatry. Our unexpected finding that students who reported themselves as speaking individually with the artists indicated less-positive feelings toward people with CMI suggests that interventions involving students' interactions with people with CMI can have complex and sometimes unintended consequences. Thus, educators should proceed cautiously and monitor the nature of the contact carefully during any such interventions.
Our ability to generalize from our results to our entire medical school class is limited by the response rate of slightly less than three-quarters of the students invited to participate. This study is also limited by the nature of the cross-sectional design and self-report questionnaires. In particular, our design prevents confirmation of any causal inferences, since we are unable to compare the same students' attitudes and feelings before and after the intervention, and are not able to comment on the long-term stability of any changes in attitudes. Also, the questionnaire item that asked whether a student "spoke individually" with a patient-artist was not further defined and was therefore subject to varying interpretation. Students may have identified an interaction with an artist as "speaking individually" in any number of ways, including one-on-one questioning, brief comments, and/or conversing within a group discussion. Thus, our data only indicate that students perceived themselves as having spoken individually with patient-artists. Perhaps the response to the unspecific question indirectly sorted the students according to some particular characteristic of the students, rather than a genuine difference in their levels of interaction while at the LM. On the other hand, our finding that students with previous exposure to people with CMI were overrepresented among the students who reported speaking individually with artists suggests that students with previous exposure may have been more likely to seek out such one-on-one interactions (16). In fact, their tendency to seek out such interactions may have preceded—and even led to—their previous exposure as well, particularly since the association with previous exposure was only observed in volunteer and work settings, and was not observed in students' personal lives.

Hello- I am new to this forum, and all forums for that matter. I am looking for a little help here with a 1994 Honda CB1000 "Big One" I bought from a gentleman for $700. The bike came with no title, but here in Colorado they are not that hard to obtain. The bike is running, but came from Florida and a rider originally that didn't treat it well. I am currently rebuilding it to try to sell it, but don't really know a lot about these models and there aren't a lot of them out there (I typically rebuild early to late 70's Honda CB's). My question is, what they would generally sell for in good running condition, but in fair shape with all body parts there. This one has tears in the seat, a scrape on the tail fairing, a new front fender that I bought and didn't have a speedometer until I bought one for it. It also has two small dents on either side of the tank where some shorter handle bars were pushed into it when it fell over. Thanks in advance for any help on this. I am trying to get back to another project in the garage- 1976 CB550 Supersport...
It doesn't sound like you are very good at this. Why in the world would you buy a bike to resale when you really don't even know what you are buying? Second, buying without a title is not smart. Did you even runb the vin to check the history before you bought it? As far as value, it is worth what the market will pay. To me, it doesn't sound like there is any money to be made on that.
Hi,I'm new to the this forum as well.I have the same exact bike you just bought and mine is in nearly perfect condition with 33K miles.These bikes don't go for a lot of money even though they're hard to find and I've seen them go for about $3K in really good condition. I've also done some minor work on mine and if you recondition them with OEM parts, they're not cheap....They were only sold in the US in '94 and '95 and not in huge quantities. The same model was available in Europe starting in '92 but even there they're hard to find.Question: I've been looking for a seat pan and I can't find one. Would you consider selling yours? If so, how much would you let it go for?Thanks.
....If you're interested in joining a forum dedicated to CB1000's I was able to find only one and it's based in the UK, even though it has members from around the world:http://www.atfreeforum.com/hondacb1000/profile.php?mforum=hondacb1000&mode=activate&u=155&act_key=ff063e
Hi,I have been searching for a CB1000 for the past 6 months.I have seen pricing from 1500.00 to 4500.00.Basically, I think you'll get what ever the buyer is willing to pay.I'm looking for one in the 2000.00-2500.00 price range but I don'twant big shipping cost to make it cost more than it's worth.In this range I feel I should be able to find one in great condition witharound 25k miles, give or take some. Anyone out there who has a CB1000that's not wanting to retire or purchase a condo in Fla. from the sale, shootme a line @firstname.lastname@example.com'm in Tennessee, Thanks.

My Profile
Billy May
The last of the great arrangers who wrote regularly for Frank Sinatra, Billy May had several varied careers in and out of jazz. His first notable gig was as an arranger/trumpeter with Charlie Barnet (1938-1940), for whom he wrote the wah-wah-ing hit arrangement of Ray Noble's "Cherokee." Later, he worked in the same capacities for Glenn Miller (1940-1942) and Les Brown (1942) before settling into staff jobs, first at NBC studios, then at Capitol Records, where he led his own studio big band from 1951 to 1954. His arrangements for Sinatra, beginning with Come Fly With Me (1957) and ending with Trilogy (1979), are often in a walloping, brassy, even taunting swing mode, generating some of the singer's most swaggering vocals. May also did extensive scoring for television, film, and commercials. Although May was largely inactive in the '80s and '90s , he unexpectedly surfaced in 1996 with some typically bright big band charts for comic Stan Freberg's The United States of America, Vol. 2 (Rhino), 25 years after his contributions to Vol. 1. The veteran arranger died quietly at home on January 22, 2004 at the age of 87. ~ Richard S. Ginell, Rovi

All of me. Why not take all of me. Can't you see, I'm no good without you. Take my lips, I'll never use them. Take my arms, I want to lose them. Your good byes, left me with eyes that cry. How can I still go on with out you. You took the part that once was my heart. So why not take all of me.
This Music will live forever, I'm 46 and have two of my four kids that love it.. It may change but if you listen to much of Today's pop it still heavily influences it .
I refound Billy May on Music Choice and Pandora permits me to hear so much more of him. THANKS...He made wonderful music. I am so glad I can continue to hear his music in the years I have left.
I was asked to play solo trombone on several of his great charts when in USAF swing band, 1951-55. In high school went to Pasadena Civic to hear his outstanding stuff. Great memories of a sadly now passe pop music we all danced to.
one of he greatest ever!
While in France in 1952 I heard the band of Alex Campbell (sp.) with a sound quite like Billy May. I wondered who borrowed from whom.Now I can find nothing. Maybe if I spelled his name correctly it would help.
I sat in awe at the Pasadena Civic listening to this great leader and his swinging band--about 1951.

Billy had a sound that was great.His vision of Cute had great brush work
Is Dinah Washington the vocalist? Great style.
Billy's distinctive style made for dancing and listening. Being a reed man I loved his treatment and unique sound of the sax section.
He is great!!!
"Billy May" was at the top with his band and his wonderful arrangments of each and ever song. I have records but Pandora makes it so easy to set back in my easy chair and tune in to this wonderful music.We lost so much when Billy May passed on,great great talent,Thank you Pandora
To me this is truly American music at it's best. Billy May was a talented man.
Great music, as far as I'm concerned.
Pandora, thanks for the nostalgic ride through the decades!

Travel Trailer Towing Help with 1/2 ton
Hi, I am looking to purchase a travel trailer for the family (wife + 2 young boys) that will be towed with my 2009 1500 crew 4x4, below are some of the specifics:
3.42 gear
6 sp transmission
max trailer weight - 9,500lb (has HD cooling / towing package)
GCWR - 15,000lb
I was looking at a Prime Time Tracer 2910BHS with the following specs:
Length - 33ft
Dry Weight - 5,536lb
Hitch - 589lb
Cargo Capacity - 1,734lbs
I am very new to the RV'ing world. For the most part we intend on keeping the RV at a campsite for most the season but may take it on week long trips now and then, my guess is that I will only physically be towing the trailer 10-15 days each year. On the surfuce I think I should be ok with this setup but would love to hear from people experienced with towing RV's (or towing in general). Any thoughts or concerns with the above combination?
Thanks in advance for your time and input.Last edited by toleo; 07-29-2011 at 02:35 PM.

A couple of items to look at would be......Brake Controller(A Must)......Rear Air Bags, will help with rear sag and handling.....and going with a Larger Transmission Cooler.....I have a thread on installing a Larger Aftermarket Transmission Cooler, to replace the Small Factory Transmission Cooler....to help with lowing Trans. Temps when towing.

07-29-2011, 02:50 PM #3I think he has the 5.3L Mike.
Tony, the package sounds good. You're in the GCVW. The 3:42 gears will be ok since you have the 6 speed. If you've never towed before, be prepared for windy conditions. Travel trailers are greatly affected by wind because they have so much surface area. Also you need to be attentive when loading your trailer as far as where you distribute the weight because you can add or subtract tongue weight & that will have a big effect on how it handles.1988 Chevy C-3500 2wd (no pic)

Thanks, are you saying I should go with a larger cooler than the K5L option currently on it?
---------- Post added at 03:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 PM ----------
Thanks Stephen, I am currently researching WD hitches and anti-sway bars and hoping this will help with wind. Have any recommendations that would work well for me?
07-29-2011, 03:18 PM #6Thanks, are you saying I should go with a larger cooler than the K5L option currently on it?
Its would be something to keep in mind, I also have the Factory Tow package......which includes the Transmission Cooler....and I was seeing Trans. Temps.....around.....180....190.....and sometimes over 200 Degrees when Towing my boat, after replacing the Factory Trans. cooler with the Aftermarket....True Cool 40K Trans. Cooler, I'm now running trans. temps.....at 140...150 Degrees now when Towing my Boat.......a Drop of 40/50 Degrees.....Which is Huge, as Heat is the Single Biggest Killer of Auto Transmission's.....
Here is my Thread on the install of the the True Cool 40k Cooler,
Edit:...I would add that a Weight Distribution Hitch which will Most likely Come with the Travel trailer would also be a item to have(keep in mind),

07-29-2011, 04:34 PM #7Tony, I think with the WD hitch & anti sway bars on it, you'll have very few problems unless you have real high cross winds. When those are set up right, they tow very straight.
Hot Rod, He's quoting GCVWR (combined) which is the GVWR (truck weight + payload in the bed) plus what weight trailer GM deems acceptable for him to tow behind it
07-29-2011, 04:34 PM #8Yeah, he specced Gross combined vehicle weight and you specced gross vehicle weight. The GCWR is the max weight for both the truck, cargo, and any trailer weight combined. But, that would still only put his GVWR around 5500 pounds.

Looks like Virgin Free Fest is happening after all. After a summer drought of news about the annual music festival, organizers today announced the free concert event will return to Merriweather Post Pavilion October 6.
The performers have yet to be announced, but if last year's lineup (The Black Keys, Cee-Lo, TV on the Radio, and Patti Smith) are any indication, it should be dynamite.
Whatever scant information has been released already can be found here. Apparently, more details will be released via Twitter in the coming days and Virgin Mobile is encouraging its Twitter follows to guess the lineup for a chance to win tickets.
It sounds like the booking decisions have already been made, but if not, may we make a suggestion? It sure would be sweet to see Virgin Fest reel in some Charm City bands, currently on tour, like Beach House, Dan Deacon, or Rye Rye ont he bill.
—This post was written by editorial summer intern Lowen Howard
Forbes, a markedly uncool publication, ranks Baltimore #14 on its list of "America's Coolest Cities." Bethesda charted at #17, and Houston actually topped the list. Houston? Seems odd, but it probably makes sense if you also happen to check Pitchfork for stock tips.
Right when the the London games began, Sports Nation—the public-opinion-driven ESPN TV show—asked its fans: Who are you rooting for? Michael Phelps or Ryan Lochte? The results came back overwhelmingly—for Lochte.
"Phelps didn't even medal," Sports Nation tweeted.
Okay, I sort of understand that. Everyone likes an underdog and Phelps was so dominant in Beijing he almost seemed super-human, invincible.
But at the same time, the guy has brought so much glory to his country, his town, his sport, you'd think he'd get a LITTLE love.
In fact, the opposite seems true. Lately, there's been a disturbing and consistent backlash against our most decorated Olympiad.
There was, of course, the snipe from his own teammate, Tyler Clary, who claimed that Phelps was merely coasting on talent and that his heart wasn't in it.
Then there was this truly unfair article from LA Time's columnist Bill Plaschke,...
There have been a few ups and downs so far in the London 2012 Olympics, but one thing is for sure: The North Baltimore Aquatic Club has a lot to celebrate.
Not only is there hometown boy Michael Phelps, who won a gold in the 4x200-meter free relay and two silvers in the 4x100-meter free relay and the 200-meter butterfly. The gold brought his total medal count to 19, surpassing the Olympic medal record held by Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina.
But rising star Allison Schmitt, who trained at NBAC with coach Bob Bowman, has had...
It's established that long periods of sitting (like the kind writers and editors do) adversely affects metabolic health and increases risk for cardiovascular problems, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic health concerns, like breast and colon cancer.
Recent science shows that even vigorous exercise doesn't completely offset long periods of sitting. Marc Hamilton, an inactivity researcher, told the New York Times that sitting causes electrical activity in the muscles to "go as silent as those of a dead horse."
And now comes evidence that sitting is making us dumber, too. Or, at least, less smart.
The headline finding of a recent study was that the "working memory performance" improved when participants were allowed to walk at their own speed compared to when they were...
So this overzealous Ryan Lochte fan clearly has a little too much time on his hands. (But it is kinda funny.) Team Phelps 4Eva, needless to say.
As if the world wasn't a scary enough place already, word comes today that a Crofton man was planning an Aurora-style shooting spree here in Maryland.
ABC News has this report:
"The suspect, identified as Neil Edwin Prescott . . . was being dismissed from his job [at Pitney Bowes]. He made threatening statements to his supervisor at least twice on Monday, police said. Prescott had an arsenal of about 25 firearms at his residence, including semi-automatic rifles, shotguns and handguns, according to a police affidavit. Police said he also had high powered scopes and magazines and thousands of rounds of ammunition in '40 large steel boxes.' He was quoted as telling his employer, 'I am a joker, I'm going to load my guns and blow everybody up,' police said."
Prescott is currently under psychiatric evaluation at Anne Arundel Medical Center in Annapolis.
Earlier this week, New York Magazine published a lengthy article by Goucher College president Sanford Ungar detailing how the college hired, subsequently discovered the charges against, and fired an alleged war criminal. [Full disclosure: I am a Goucher grad, class of 2003.]
The professor in question, Leopold Munyakazi, is accused of participating in—and perhaps helping to organize—atrocities against fellow Rwandans during the country's 1994 civil war, in which the majority ethnic group (Hutus) systematically killed the minority (Tutsi) population. Munyakazi denies the charges. and, at least according Ungar's research, the situation is indeed murky. Munyakazi is Hutu, but points out he is married to a Tutsi woman and claims that he was with his family in his hometown when he was alleged to have committed the attrocities. Seemingly anticipating an eventual controvery, Manyakazi even carried with him affadavits from five witnesses attesting to his "'...
It's not often that a pizza shop's departure from Baltimore City to Towson creates media buzz and a public outcry. But when talk of Iggies (818 N. Calvert St.) planned move from Mount Vernon to the Riderwood Station shopping center leaked, a bit of an uproar ensued.
Here's the breaking news: Iggies tweeted yesterday that they're staying put. Peter Wood, who runs the 65-seat BYOB restaurant with wife Lisa Henkman, told Baltimore today that a zoning decision — not enough parking spaces at the shopping center (intersection of Bellona Avenue and W. Joppa Road) — as well as the local media and customer reaction drove the couple to rethink the relocation.
Online reviews have described the restaurant as "laid-back" and "oddball but endearing." Iggies' secret, though, isn't just a vibe. It makes pizza that doesn't sink to the lowest common denominator, fast and cheap; rather it goes in for fresh, high-quality ingredients.

looking for Positive ORing-diodes like TPS2350. Input Power: Dual +24Vdc
We have single channel oring in TPS241x family. These only operate to 18V. There is an app note on the product page for these parts that shows how to use them at higher voltage. App note attached here
What about the LM5050-1?
TPS241X, doesn't Hot-plaguing, Revers-polarity protection .
Any other solution?
LM505 works well in your voltage range. I forgot about it. I don't understand the hot plug question since hot plug is usually done on the output side of the OR.
I talk about System level which feed by 2x (-48Vdc) or 2x (+24Vdc).
since we talk about connecting cable which could be get any wrong polarity!
Any feedback/recomendation?
I don't understand "any could get wrong polarity" Can the +24V get -48V applied?
Generally with polarity issues use diodes to the component chips and take separate care with the attached load. .

Bought it on 12/31/12 and the money clip broke on 1/14/13.otherwise a very nice wallet. Just what I was looking for. But now I'm looking for another one.
Great styling, great quality. Perfect for a casual, down-to-Earth kid of guy. The only thing I was concerned about is that the ID window is brown mesh instead of clear plastic, but this actually works out better. The ID doesn't stick to the window, so it's easier to remove, and it doesn't matter that you can't see through the mesh as well (you can see through, but not perfectly) because if you need to show your ID for anything, they always just want you to take it out anyway. The hinge on my husbands old wallet was getting loose and was rubbing a hole in the back pocket of his jeans. This money clip has a different kind of hinge that shouldn't loosen and it is more rounded and smooth, so it won't rub as much on his pocket. Overall, better than I even expected and I highly recommend. *Bonus: The money clip is also a bottle opener. ** I ordered this to be a Christmas gift for my husband, but the day after I received it, he started looking for a new wallet. I told him to stop shopping for himself right before Christmas, but he said he needed a new wallet immediately as his old one was falling apart. I pulled this one up on my laptop and asked what he thought. He really liked it, so I went and got it out of our closet and handed it to him. He loves it!
I would order again next year. It holds up for him for a year at a time so hope this will. So far so good!

Brown, Warren scrap debate appearances
Updated On: Oct 29 2012 05:16:29 PM CDT
Shortly after Sen. Scott Brown's campaign announced Monday that the Republican incumbent will cancel his appearance at Tuesday's Senate debate in Massachusetts, his Democratic opponent Elizabeth Warren also pulled out of the event. Both cited conditions related to Hurricane Sandy.
"It is simply not appropriate to go forward with a political debate when a disaster strikes," Colin Read, Brown's campaign communications director, said in a statement. "The focus for all of us before, during and after the storm needs to be on emergency response and disaster relief, not campaigns and politics."
About an hour and a half later, Warren campaign manager Mindy Myers sent out a statement on the debate, as well:
"Elizabeth believes the focus now must be on public safety and ensuring people get the help they need during the storm and in its aftermath," Myers said. "With the concern for public safety and cleanup paramount, Elizabeth believes the debate should not be held tomorrow."
The debate--the fourth and final showdown of the season--is scheduled to take place at the WGBH studios in Brighton and moderated by CNN Chief National Correspondent John King.
Both Brown and Warren canceled their public campaign events on Monday as the Category 1 hurricane barreled toward the U.S. East Coast. Senate candidates in Pennsylvania and Virginia, as well as the presidential candidates, also scrapped some events off their schedules. A Maine Senate debate scheduled for Tuesday was also canceled.
The contest is one of the most expensive and closely watched Senate races in the country, and a recent poll shows the two candidates in a close sprint toward the finish line.
No announcements have been made on whether the debate will be rescheduled.

Moon, Regulus, and Saturn
- ‹ Previous program
- 324 of 2173
- Next program ›
The night sky is a series of continuously repeating cycles. The same stars roll into view at the same time each year. The Moon travels the same path every month. And the planets loop through the starry background in cycles that can last from months to decades.
That series of cycles is on display late tonight, in the form of the Moon, the planet Saturn, and the star Regulus. All three climb into view after midnight. Regulus is a little above the Moon as they rise, with Saturn following a good bit below them.
Regulus leads Leo, the lion, into the morning sky every fall, after the Sun scoots by the star in late August. Regulus rises about four minutes earlier each night, and moves into the evening sky in spring.
Because Earth "wobbles" a bit, though, the cycle undergoes a slow change. A couple of thousand years ago, Regulus climbed into view about a month earlier than it does now. And a couple of thousand years from now, it'll climb into view a month later.
The Moon circles through the stars every 27 and a third days, following the same path as the Sun. So it passes Regulus every four weeks.
Saturn circles through the stars, too, but at a much more leisurely pace -- it takes about three decades to complete a single circuit. It reverses direction across the sky as Earth pulls closest to the planet. Then it resumes its normal easterly path -- continuing a cycle that's been repeating for billions of years.

The Secret of the Grain (La graine et le mulet) [DVD]
Director : Abdellatif Kechiche
Screenplay : Abdellatif Kechiche
MPAA Rating : NR
Year of Release : 2007
Stars : Habib Boufares (Slimane Beiji), Hafsia Herzi (Rym), Farida Benkhetache (Karima), Abdelhamid Aktouche (Hamid), Bouraouïa Marzouk (Souad), Alice Houri (Julia), Leila D'Issernio (Lilia), Abelkader Djeloulli (Kader), Olivier Loustau (José), Sabrina Ouazani (Olfa), Mohamed Benabdeslem (Riadh), Bruno Lochet (Mario), Cyril Favre (Serguei), Sami Zitouni (Majid), Mohamed Karaoui (Lafita)
A big winner on both the international film festival circuit (it won a Special Jury Prize at Venice) and at the Césars (the French equivalent of the Oscars), where it won four awards including Best Picture, actor-turned-director Abdellatif Kechiche's third film The Secret of the Grain (La graine et le mullet) is a close, fascinating examination of tensions in a large immigrant family in the south of France. Simultaneously an intimate character study and a broad depiction of the ever-evolving immigrant experience, Kechiche's film gathers force as it moves slowly forward, amassing a wealth of detail that culminates in a 40-minute climax that is as tense and suspenseful as anything Hitchcock ever put on screen, but without any sense of artifice. The film is completely fictional, and Kechiche's greatest accomplishment (and that of his amazing cast of both professional and nonprofessional actors, whose characters feel captured, rather than played) may very well be the sheer invisibility of the filmmaking process; more so than any film in recent memory, it achieves a lived-in naturalness that invites the viewer to not just sit back and watch, but take a seat at the table.
The story centers around Slimane Beiji (Habib Boufares), the grave, 61-year-old father of a family of Arab immigrants who have made their home in the Mediterranean port city of Séte for the past four decades. During that time the family has grown and cracked, with Slimane's two daughters and two sons growing up, getting married, and having children of their own while his own marriage to Souad (Bouraouia Marzouk), an intimidating matriarch and fantastic cook, has dissolved. Since then, Slimane has taken up with Latifa (Hatika Karaoui), an independent younger woman who owns the mousy hotel in which he rents a room. At the beginning of the film Slimane finds himself out of work at the shipyard where he has invested the past 35 years of his life, mostly because he is older and therefore slower and considered expendable despite his many years of service. With some prodding from Latifa's feisty teenage daughter Rym (Hafsia Herzi, in an award-winning debut), Slimane decides to fulfill a lifelong dream of opening a restaurant, a difficult endeavor that requires contributions from his entire family, including Souad, whose fish couscous will be the signature house dish (the film's original French title, which translates to The Seed and the Mullet, is a direct reference to this dish and the important role food plays in the film).
The key to Slimane's dream, and the underlying poignancy of his endeavor, is that it is not for himself that he wishes to open this restaurant, but rather for his children, so that he may leave something for them. Laid off and fundamentally alone despite those around him, Slimane feels used up and impotent and lacking in any real accomplishments. In his mind, a man must leave behind some kind of legacy, and his separation from his family due to his and Souad's divorce only serves to further isolate him, which is emphasized in a lengthy sequence in the middle of the film when the family gathers for a lively Sunday afternoon meal while he sits alone in his hotel room. Kechiche, who was born in Tunisia and raised in France and therefore knows this cultural terrain from personal experience, allows the characters to emerge out of the daily rituals of life that are, in essence, the film's true subject. And, while keeping track of all the loose storylines is confusing at first, we soon begin to recognize the familiar, interwoven dilemmas of marital infidelity, the challenges of child-rearing, and the manner in which siblings relate to and compete with each other, all of which is complicated by Slimane's relationship with Rym, who he treats as (and refers to as) his own daughter.
The story, which Kechiche unfolds with long sequences of handheld camerawork and intimate close-ups, gradually builds momentum as Slimane refurbishes a large boat for his restaurant and stages an invitation-only free dinner for a hundred friends, family, and potential investors; it is, in essence, him putting everything on the line with a singular event, which will either make or break him. We watch and wait, then, knowing that something at some point will go wrong, and when it eventually does, it begins a process of tragic unraveling that Kechiche uses for both conventional movie suspense and as an extended metaphor for the difficulties of the older immigrant generation. It is an absorbing, gut-twisting experience, even as it is leavened with the film's close attention to character behavior and atmospheric detail. The film's abrupt ending seems almost calculated to generate debate: Is it a cheat in which Kechiche escapes the web he's spun without answering any questions, or a brilliantly designed ploy to force us to come to grips with not only the complexities of the lives we've been watching for the past two and a half hours, but also the simplistic notion embraced by too many movies that all problems have a conventional set of answers on which we can all agree? This is a film whose story extends far beyond the parameters of its running time.

The Secret of the Grain is also available from The Criterion Collection on Blu-Ray (SRP $39.95). | |

Distributor | The Criterion Collection |
Release Date | July 27, 2010 |
The Secret of the Grain was shot on high-definition video using the HD Sony 900, so the image on Criterion's DVD is a direct digital port from the digital intermediate that was approved by director Abdellatif Kechiche. The image is extremely good, with plenty of sharpness to bring out the detail, especially in the film's numerous close-ups, but not so much that it looks "digital" (in fact, I was surprised by just how "filmlike" the image looks). Colors are strong and beautifully rendered, from the earthy browns and tans of the couscous to the intense blues of the sky. The film's fully digital soundtrack, mastered at 24-bit from the original digital audio masters and presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 surround, is also excellent. The track is crisp and clean, which benefits the numerous dialogue sequences, and the surround channels come alive during the scenes with music, particularly the extended climax, which brings us right into the middle of the action. | |
Criterion has included a strong set of supplements to go along with the film. Although this two-disc set lacks an audio commentary, there is an excellent 12-minute video interview with director Abdellatif Kechiche, in which he discusses his approach to film art, and a 22-minute video interview with film scholar Ludovic Cortade, who analyzes the film aesthetically and also contextualizes it within French history and the various subgenres of French cinema dealing with immigrants. There are no deleted or alternate scenes, however the second disc does include Sueur, Kechiche's extended 45-minute re-edit of the belly-dancing sequence, which he introduces and explains. Additional supplements include an 8-minute excerpt of Kechiche and actress Hafsia Herzi being interviewed the morning after the Césars on 20 heures, a French television program; new video interviews with Herzi (15 min.), actress Bouraouïa Marzouk (11 min.), and the film's musicians (15 min.); and a theatrical trailer. |

Rep. Candice Miller on border security
By Jennifer White and Mercedes Mejia
In the national debate over immigration reform, border security has risen as an issue of concern. It's certainly important for Michigan, which has 721 miles of border with Canada.
Republican U.S. Representative Candice Miller represents Michigan's 10th Congressional District. Miller also serves as the Chair of the Subcommittee on Border and Maritime Security. She's calling for a comprehensive examination of border security.

Detour Vented Leather Motorcycle Jacket 8311 For Women Reviews:
Comment: very nice quality leather armored jacket. perfect fit & very heavy duty! for what i paid, i expected a lesser quality than i received. jafrum is now my #1 store for buying my gear & motorcycle needs/wants! this jacket was my first purchase & since then i have ordered here a few times & EVERYTHING is great! don't be fooled by the low prices, because you will receive better than expected. i was advised to buy 1 size larger than what i wear, so i did that & the jacket was a perfect fit.
Comment: I bought this jacket and love the feel and quality. It arrived very quickly and was very nice for the price. The size does run small so I was glad I ordered a medium.
