I have an 85' Caprice with a stock 305 in it, and i wanted to try something differentso i replaced my stock timing chain for a double roller but even with the timing setto where its suppose to be it still skips and putts, can someone tell me what i didwrong.
did you align the dots correctly?
yeah i set the points just right, but when i started the motor it did alot of skipping
points are not dots and vice-versathe dots I refer to are on the crank and cam gears of the new timing set you installed, most aftermarket sets go on in mulitple positions...straight up, X* advanced, X* retarded, and several other possibilities depending on whose timing set you buypoints are the timing mechanism used in pre-75 (GM, other makes may have other start/stop dates) carsThe timing of the distributor would not have to be changed because you installed a new timing set unless your old one was way worn and the new one corrected that. However, the distributor timing should have been checked/verified post chain set installation to ensure ignition timing was set where it was supposed to be.Otherwise it sounds like you might have gotten the cam off a tooth one way or the other.
could u give me a step process on how to fix this issues after getting TDC one the first piston?
quick question tho, if i make sure that i've reached tdc on the piston, would it be wise to set my chain then or does it not make a difference
crank turns twice to one turn of the cam..and... this is where a LOT of people are tripped up...the crank at TDC ... either the #1 or #6 cylinder is at TDC..
thats a good diagram Wayne. cant get much simpler then that. how you making out OP?
If my cam is bad will it cause my timing to be off?
not unless the distributer drive teeth on the back end of the cam are worn away or the gear teeth worn off the distributer...question.. i think you mentioned that you installed a double roller timing chain...how many key ways in the crank sprocket.. ONE ,, THREE, NINE???do you still have the receipt for the timing set.. or the box you can post the brand and part number on the side..with a multi keyway crank gear.. its really easy to get the cam alignment off.. if you are not used to doing this..
Its a duralst double roller, and it has 3 keyways, and every time i reach top dead center it always land on the keyway and not the mark i really dont think that my cam is damaged i just think that the timing is off. I'll have the part number for u shortly
Ok I just got the part number here it is, 78150
stop worrying about tdcthe cam goes where it goes in relation to the crank, anything else will cause problemsworry about getting the dots lined up right and everything else will follow...look at wayne's picture, if you put the dots inline like at the lower part of the picture everthing else will fall in its right place...then worry about adjusting the igniton timing at the distributor
+1 Scott. look at Waynes pic. set the bottom/crank gear at 12 o clock. then put the cam gear at 6 o clock. thats how to put a timing chain on. if the distributer is out,...turn the motor over til the cam gear is pointing at 12 o clock,...then install the dizzy pointed at number 1. should start right up.
i want to know.... if you understood that the O and the O are matched.. the triangle and the triangle... and the square and the square...at CRANK TDC.. #1 and #6.. the woodruff key goes at 45 degrees to the right of center... when looked at from the front.. what... the woodruff key is aligned with the 1st rod throw...its Easier to align the timing chain with the cam dot at the 6 o clock position.. but you have to understand .. from the first diagram that i posted.. that with the cam with the dot at the bottom leaves the lobes on the cam set to fire the #6 cylinder...when the dot on the cam gear is at 12 o clock.. the cam lobes are set to fire the #1 cylinder...so... the crank turns.. the cam turns at half the speed... if you have gotten the cam and crank sprockets aligned properly.. getting the distributer in.. requires only pulling the #1 or the #6 spark plug.. bumping the engine to find compression and dropping the distributer in... there is an easier way... that gives you half a chance... align the damper timing marks.. drop the distributer in pointing toward the #1 spark plug wire location.. if you get flames from the carb... you have it backwards...say... what about the 3 different locations for timing marks on small block chevysthese are just a few of the variations... 6 inch.. 7 inch.. 8 inch dampers...with these 2 timing marks... the CRANK is in the EXACT same position...neat thing.. look at the keyway... 45 degrees to the right of center. but also look at the 3 spokes of the damper.. the are all aligned also... just slightly off 45 degrees to the right of straight up..take a look at this one...i am sorry this seems complex... but there have been changes in these motors since the first small block chevy came off the line in late 1954 as a 55 model... wait.. did 54 corvettes have the V8 first??? want to complain.. look at the newer motors... double over head cam motors.. with variable valve timing.. want to think back to the old days... with just a single timing chain.... how about timing belts with cams that have to be held in place.. or you cannot get the timing belt on.. and timing belt tensioners that need special tools.. or a great design.. you adjust the timing belt tension by rotating the water pump... and you have to use a mirror to examine the hidden belt proper tension mark.. get it off.. and the timing belt will either slip.. or break.. wiping out all 16 valves... costing you another grand in parts... 250 for a head gasket set.. 100 bucks for head bolts that can only be used once... 15 bucks each for the valves...240 bucks plus having the valve job redone.. the machine shops usually want 300 bucks labor on that one.. as it is a PAIN in the rump.. now that i have gotten way off thread.. enjoy your day..

Local artist Donna Burgess has leant her talented brush and creative mind to many a wine festival, beginning in 1990, when she began creating the official wine festival posters for the then 3-year-old Sandestin Wine Festival. She was the artistic brain behind those signature posters for almost 20 years before retiring to allow others the opportunity and to pursue other endeavors.
However, due to popular demand for her iconic collectible posters that wine festival attendees look forward to each year, Burgess was brought back for the festival's 25th and 26th annual festivals in 2011 and 2012.
This year, the artist's talents have been tapped to create the face for a new poster: that of the new South Walton Beaches Wine & Food Festival, taking place April 25-28 at Grand Boulevard.
Burgess's initial foray into creation of wine festival posters was a collaboration with the Sandestin Wine Festival's founder, Chan Cox, of Chan's Wine World and the winemakers who attended.
This year, Cox is striking out again on his own in creating the South Walton Beaches Wine & Food Festival. And he wanted Burgess to create the festival's first signature poster.
"We are pleased to have another important community partner join us at The South Walton Beaches Wine and Food Festival," said Cox. "Donna Burgess became our Festival artist over 20 years ago to help me brand the Sandestin Wine Festival. Her annual paintings quickly became collectors� items. I'm sure our patrons will be excited to see Donna's work as we continue this 27-year tradition at Grand Boulevard."
Burgess has owned and operated an art gallery at Grand Boulevard for three years.
"I am doing this one for this first festival because of Chan," said Burgess. "We have collaborated on these for 20 years; I went with Chan because I have always worked with him. I started with him. I am so excited! It's a brand new thing, but yet a continuance. And the festival will be held in my own back yard at Grand Boulevard."
A gallery owner for more than 25 years, Burgess is known for her striking use of color in not only creating wine festival posters, but also in replicating images of Florida cottages, children playing on the beach, and pets.
The art for this year�s festival is one of the most challenging she has created.
"Past posters I have created have had more traditional wine artwork. But this one is different," she said.
For this poster, Burgess incorporated images of glasses of wine, a wine bottle, eating utensils, one of the festival's virtual promotional personas, and one of the brochures with one of the characters.
"This is a first for me in that it is not my typical traditional wine poster," she said.
These first official posters are signed and numbered in a series of 500 and come with a certificate of authenticity. They are available now at her Donna Burgess Gallery at Grand Boulevard, and she will be signing posters during both Grand Tasting events at the festival. The cost for the posters is $40.
South Walton Beaches Wine & Food Festival is poised to become an annual charity event held the last weekend of April.
Celebrity wine producers and chefs will present fine wine and food pairings from some of the world�s most famous appellations. The Culinary Village will present the Savor South Walton Culinary Pavilion showcasing an array of foods to taste, wines to pair, as well as wine and food seminars and cooking demonstrations.
The event is a major fundraiser for Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation, which benefits children in need in Northwest Florida.

|ACS Instrument Handbook for Cycle 26
The Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS), a third-generation instrument, was installed in the Hubble Space Telescope during Servicing Mission 3B, on March 7, 2002. Its primary purpose was to increase HST imaging discovery efficiency by about a factor of 10, with a combination of detector area and quantum efficiency that surpasses previous instruments.ACS has three independent channels that have provided wide-field, high resolution, and ultraviolet imaging capabilities respectively, using a broad assortment of filters designed to address a large range of scientific goals. In addition, coronagraphic, polarimetric, and grism capabilities have made the ACS a versatile and powerful instrument.The ACS Instrument Handbook, which is maintained by the ACS Team at STScI, describes the instrument properties, performance, operations, and calibration. It is the basic technical reference manual for the instrument, and should be used with other documents (listed in Table 1.1) for writing Phase I proposals, detailed Phase II programs, and for data analysis. (See Figure 1.1).In May 2009, Servicing Mission 4 (SM4) successfully restored the ACS Wide Field Channel (WFC) to regular service after its failure in January 2007. Unfortunately, the ACS High Resolution Channel (HRC) was not restored to operation during SM4, so it cannot be proposed for new observations. Nevertheless, this handbook retains description of the HRC to support analysis of archived observations. The ACS Solar Blind Channel (SBC) was unaffected by the January 2007 failure of WFC and HRC. The SBC has remained in steady operation, and was not serviced during SM4. It remains available for new observations.The documents in Table 1.1 can be downloaded from the ACS STScI website, http://www.stsci.edu/hst/acs.

Shelley taking her talents to Big Bend
THOMAS — With family and friends providing support, Makena Shelley of Snake River signed a letter-of-intent to play college basketball on Wednesday.
Shelley will play at Big Bend Community College in Moses Lake, Wash.
"I'm excited for the opportunity to play basketball again," Shelley said. "And I'm excited to get a good education."
Shelley, daughter of Cody and Erin Shelley, said she will likely major in elementary education.
She said the biggest thing she will miss "is playing other sports with my teammates all four years."
Her father, who coaches at Century High School in Pocatello, said Makena seemed to fit nicely into her new team.
"Probably the best thing is she had an opportunity to play with the girls there. She looked like she fit right in," he said.
Shelley is 5-foot-10 and will likely play guard. She averaged 12 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists for the Panthers this past season.
Last year's Big Bend team included players from Ririe, Rexburg, Burley, Paris, Terreton, Downey and Shelley. It finished 16-12 overall and 6-8 in conference play.

Starting a new sport is a tough proposition. Learning new techniques can be frustrating and embarrassing, and the mental roadblocks that are created can be hard on a young athlete. Imagine starting that process at the collegiate level and you'll have a good idea how Lipscomb junior Taylor Mason felt in 2010 when she joined the Bison track and field team.
Mason was a stand-out athlete in high school at Spartanburg Christian Academy in Inman, S.C. She was all-state in softball and all-region in volleyball during her time with the Warriors.
Although she was recruited by a number other schools, she had her heart set on attending Lipscomb. Her older brother Steven was a member of head coach Bill Taylor's track and field team after transferring from Faulkner.
"I absolutely love Lipscomb," she said. "I knew it was where I wanted to be. I was dead-set on going to Lipscomb, but I knew I couldn't play volleyball here and I still wanted to be involved in athletics somehow. My dad encouraged me to talk to Coach Taylor."
At the time, there was a shortage of throwers on the Lipscomb roster. Coach Taylor decided to let Mason walk on to see what she could do. Her brother had come from Faulkner with no previous track experience and had become a top runner for Taylor in the short sprints.
The adjustment was tough in the beginning, for Mason and the coaches.
"There were a lot of technical aspects that were difficult," Mason said. "I had a great coach my freshman and sophomore seasons in coach (Kyle) Willoughby, who competed at Alabama. He was very patient and took me under his wing. He taught me a lot; I owe most of the success I've had to him.
"The coaches were so patient. They put in a lot of extra work with me."
The strength exercises and stretching are different than she experienced with softball and volleyball.
"We do a lot of strength and flexibility training," Mason said. "Without an indoor facility, we do a lot of practicing on our technique and our run-up using the medicine ball. We do strength and flexibility exercises when we can't get outside.
"Basically, we work on everything we can control up until the throw. If the technique is perfect, strength is less of a factor."
Despite her rapid progression, Mason does not yet consider herself an expert in the throwing events.
"No," she said with a laugh. "I'm still learning a lot. Watching the professionals and their form and trying to replicate it is the best way to get better. There are so many technical aspects, from shoulder movement to hips to body movement that having a general knowledge isn't enough. Each tiny aspect makes your throw go a little farther."
Lipscomb assistant coach Luke Syverson has taken over Mason's training since the departure of Willoughby. He said her progress has been significant.
"When I took over (the throws), it took me a few weeks before I realized she hadn't competed in high school," Syverson said. "She's a quick learner and a great athlete, which has helped her progress.
"What sets Taylor apart is that she's a hard worker. She's stubborn, almost to a fault. She's very coachable and still has a lot of room to grow."
Coach Taylor echoes Syverson's sentiments.
"She's a hard worker," Taylor said. "She has a lot enthusiasm for everything she does. Her brother had never run track either before he came to Lipscomb. She's a lot like her brother, she really gives it her all."
As for Mason, she preaches patience if you're trying to get into a new sport. No one will become an expert in one day.
"Be patient," Mason counsels. "It takes some time to get everything right. You have to keep an open mind and be ready to learn. I got frustrated in the beginning; I had played softball and volleyball for a long time, and I knew what I was doing. I didn't know what to expect and everything was new, so I didn't get it right away.
"You know when you get the perfect throw. It may only happen a couple of times a year, but it's a great, awesome feeling. All the hours and hours you put into the technique, when you finally nail it you feel wonderful."

I'm quite nervous when it comes to singing and Liz is managing to put me more at ease with me and my voice. She is very amiable, gracious, and knowledgeable. She does her best to help me find my voice and points out where I could improve without making me feel awful or pressured. In just the few lessons I've had with Liz, I think I've made some great improvements that I can hear and feel when I sing, with Liz being enthusiastic about trying to push the boundaries of my voice gently while assisting me in reaching my full vocal potential.

My daughter had few singing teachers, Elizabeth is one of the best. She is nice, knowledgeable, very patient. The technique from her is really helpful.

Vocal projection is most important, whether for belt singing or lyric singing, in musical theater, and Breathing is the most important element. I teach good breath support, for sustained singing, even while dancing.
About Kathleen
I have been teaching voice since 1980, and have worked with students of all ages, from 14 to 75. I have also directed and designed for musical theater and opera. Because I love singing, I want to bring that to my students as well, whatever kind of music they want to sing. I love children, but I do not work with girls or boys younger than 14.
In addition to music, I also teach English (ESL), Accent Reduction, German, U.S. & World History. I have my CBEST C
*** Lesson Details ***
I believe that learning how to breath is the key to good singing. After 3 months of study, my students will have learned how to breathe, which improves both their singing and speaking voices. Good breathing is the key to good singing and a healthy voice. With a healthy, well-trained voice, my students can be valuable members of any vocal ensemble, and enjoy their singing, For solo singing, good breathing is most important, whether singing opera, musical theater or pop music, because it gives a beautiful, full quality to the voice.
I always begin a lesson with warm-up exercises, to check breathing and vocal placement. Once the (vocal) engine is warmed-up, then we begin to sing. I try to get to know my students, so that, together, we can choose music that will enable them to reach their goals and is both fun and challenging for them to sing.
In addition to music, I also teach English (ESL), Accent Reduction, German, U.S. & World History. I have my CBEST Credential And ESL Certification. I do private tutoring and teach classes.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Separate studio with Piano
I have a MacBook Pro laptop computer + stereo speakers, to provide recorded accompaniment, when necessary.
*** Travel Equipment ***
If a student wishes to have on-site lessons, I require that a piano or keyboard be available for the lessons.
I usually travel with my MacBook Pro laptop computer & stereo speakers, to provide recorded accompaniment, when necessary.

I have had many international students who didn't speak English well. Music is an international language that helps me communicate with all of my students!

Mrs. B is a wonderful and dedicated teacher who focuses diligently during class sessions. She thoroughly explains terms and technique and is friendly and sociable. Her extensive knowledge of languages comes extremely useful in Italian arias and other folk songs as to explain the meanings of words and to convey motion. Her classes are enjoyable and fun, while still being comprehensively academic.

About Danielle
I specialize in providing a fun, inspiring and safe space for each student to reach their goals - whether that be for the novice singer whose been wrongfully told they shouldn't sing, the more experienced singer looking to do more with their music, or the budding songwriter, actor or speaker looking to develop the talent and drive they feel within them.
I always remember the inspiration and patience I received from my best teachers, so I strive to provide exactly that to my own students. I sing and teach most vocal styles, with the exception of opera and screamo, and utilize my studio to create a supportive, empowering experience singing, speaking, writing and recording. I absolutely love teaching both children and adults and look forward to learning how to best support each one of my students in their indi

I have written and performed music and voice over for Ace Ventura, Nutty Professor, VH1, various TV shows and independent documentaries, Eveoke Dance Theatre, among others, as well as having recorded eight professional CDs of various styles on various record labels.
For over ten years, my record / production company, Say It Records has been producing socially conscious music events throughout San Diego and Southern California that promote independent music, film, art, community and human rights. I also co-own Durga Sound, a teaching and production studio, with producer Alicia Champion, as well as San Diego IndieFest, a powerful community event which promotes and supports music, film, art and civic engagement.
I have a great time utilizing my contacts in the industry to help my students get work/ press / entrance into the schools of their choice, etc. For example, I'm happy to report that just last year we were able to book eight musicians on GLEE, as well as lots more in other capacities including using their music in commercials and film and helping them get cast in local theatre and accepted into arts-centered schools.
*** Lesson Details ***
I start on the first lesson by becoming clear about what the new student's goals and desires are from there, we start developing technique to achieve those goals along with having fun right away doing what they came for - singing, writing, voice over, acting or using a combination of these things be it for professional purposes or personal fulfillment. Every lesson is personally customized to meet the specific goals of each student. As a teacher, I'm encouraging and fun, passionate and positive. While I'm definitely not "strict", I do appreciate focus and drive. However, I often work with people who have special needs and are working on developing those very things. I'm especially good at helping people through progress plateaus, roadblocks, stage fright, loss/ stress. Using music as a means of release and healing - for both kids and adults - is something I do a lot of and am very comfortable with.
As far as technique is concerned, I focus on utilizing posture, correct breathing and developing relaxed, strong support, so that the muscles are developed properly. We want the voice to develop without stress, enabling the student to constantly grow while steering clear of any injury that can happen as a result of straining, not to mention other habits that manifest when we sing without proper technique.
I strongly encourage students to record their lessons on a mobile device so they can practice easily on their own, and so they eventually have a record of how far they've grown.
We mostly use tracks to develop repertoire, prepare for auditioning and performances, and to have fun singing the music that excites each student the most.

*** Specialties ***
Using music, writing and voice as a means of expressing yourself, growing as a performance artist, coping in challenging times, as well as a means of going professional and earning income are all areas I specialize in. Utilizing proper technique and learning how to sing / speak safely is also an area I focus on a great deal.
Learning precisely what each student wants is the key factor in my decision on how to achieve their goals. For example, using Speech Level Singing is definitely entrenched in my teaching, but I may not highlight it as much for those who want a more classical sound.
I excel with the following: first timers, very young kids, students working through stage fright, artists looking to develop their own original project, those seeking growth in their process of writing / recording / performing, those who are interested in using music and / or writing as therapy as well as with amateurs who've always wanted to do something musical but who think they are "too old" or too "untalented/short/tall/ fill in the blank" to try. I believe we all have something to say with our lives - finding the voice within you can be an incredibly powerful and transformative experience!

I first met Danielle when I finally decided to try singing lessons to see what it was like. I'm so glad that Danielle is the teacher I decided to go with, she's an incredible voice coach and person. The improvements I made in such a short time with her and that I could see every lesson were so much more than I ever expected, and she's so supportive that I've ended up getting totally outside of my comfort zone without even realizing it.
Now for the second part: I decided I wanted to try acting, and since this is also something Danielle excels at doing and teaching in addition to singing, doing acting lessons with her was a no-brainer. Knowing me and my strengths, she suggested we start by trying out voice acting. I am in no way exaggerating when I say that I did one voice acting lesson with Danielle and was so encouraged by her, that I went out and got a paying job as a voice actor that same week. And Danielle helped me through every step of the process, and might have been the only person more excited about my success than I was!
Meeting Danielle and taking lessons with her has changed the entire career path I want to follow in ways I never imagined. I cannot recommend her enough! Even if you're just looking for some great singing lessons on the weekends and not a new life trajectory, you'll be glad you met Danielle :).

About Andrew R.Close
Many people know they can sing, enjoy singing and even perform well in many environments. But there are always things that you can't hear when you're singing. Indeed, built in to the singing mechanism is something that actually partially shuts down the ear, most likely to protect it from the sometimes very loud noises emanating from our vocal chords and resonant cavities. That's why it's essential to spend time bouncing off another very skilled person who can listen carefully and objectively.
For Broadway style performers, diction, projection and drama are just some of the things that need very special attention and with the right care can be the difference between being noticed and being hired

About Paige P.Close
View Full Profile
Singing has been my passion since the age of 4. The voice is very special - it empowers us to live the lives we desire, communicate with others, and express ourselves. It is my mission to help others discover and develop their voices, thereby freeing them to use it as they choose.
Beyond the functional voice, I teach performance skills, musicianship, music reading, foreign language diction, phonetics, and so much more! I have a Bachelors in Music Education, a Masters in Performance, and a performance resume ranging from jazz to opera.
I love working with singers of all ages and experience levels. I know how to engage with children and adults alike for a productive, enriching musical experience, so whether you are a sings-all-the-time 2nd grader, a recreational karaoke buff, a devoted choral singer, or an operatic baritone, you have a place in my studio.
About Paige
I have a Bachelors in Music Education with a K-12 certification in Vocal Education, as well as a Masters in Performance. I have a strong musical background, having sung in the Texas All - State Choir, University Interscholastic League, and National Association of Teachers of Singing.
When I am not teaching, I actively perform in the Greater Bay Area, singing jazz, choral music, and opera.

About Gwendolyn K.Close
I access singing and speaking through movement and resonance. We discover the way your body moves freely, opening up the breath and getting it to flow freely. Then we discover how to access your resonance with that freely flowing breath. Singing and speaking comes easily from there. Lessons with me are a combination of yoga class, anatomy lesson, and actually making sound. I find that if we see our voices as another part of the body that we're training, we see that singing is a movement technique, and looking at it that way actually gives us the freedom to make art with it.
About Gwendolyn
I am also a 200 Hour Certified Yogalign teacher. Yogalign teaches the body how to come into natural, functional, comfortable alignment and strengthens it to stay there. I use it while teaching voice, but I also love to teach it on its own.
In voice lessons, I constantly incorporate alignment practices because we use our whole bodies to produce sound. A free breath, which means good alignment, is the foundation of good voice technique.
I believe
With public speakers, my goal is to help people feel at home in their bodies and command the room with their voices while giving presentations. I have given seminars teaching scientific researchers in Berlin and Potsdam, helping them to present results in ways that are both informative and inspiring.
I am fluent in German, having spent two intensive summers at the prestigious Middlebury College Language School, getting top training in the ins and outs of German grammar. That preparation, the tricks and tools I learned there, paved the way for the fluency I acquired while living in Germany for ten years. I am happy to help beginners learn the tools I learned to help get them on their way auf Deutsch.
Students in each area can expect to progress steadily week to week, provided they do the assigned exercises in between. The voice, the body, and language skills are all muscles we must train daily to expect any progress.
I look forward to working with creative students who have a passion for self-discovery and honest self-expression. Let's have fun!

Marseille forward Loic Remy is set to sign for QPR within the next 48 hours after rejecting Newcastle's contract offer.
The 26-year-old is now undergoing a medical in London ahead of a reported £10 million move after QPR chief executive officer Philip Beard flew to France to push through negotiations.
|QPR are 7/4 with Bet365 not to be relegated from the Premier League
Remy is one of Harry Redknapp's long-term targets, with the 65-year-old personally monitoring the forward during his time at Tottenham.
On Saturday, the QPR manager claimed that Remy "didn't want to come" to Loftus Road and admitted that he could not even meet him after travelling to France to watch the striker feature in Marseille's 2-1 win over Guingamp on January 6.
But Remy changed his mind after struggling for selection and form in Ligue 1 this season having started just two games and netting just one goal.
Last term, the forward was Marseille's top scorer with 12 goals in 29 Ligue 1 appearances.

I have a friend, Ricardo Farrow, at your facility and I was wanting to know what I can and can not mail him. I want to start writing to him; but I want to make sure I am doing it right; so he doesn't get in trouble. Also, some of his friends will b coming home from college for winter break. How many visitors can he have at one time and do we have to call ahead to schedule the visit?
PrisonPath December 6, 2012 at 10:43 pm #
Hi Debbie,
The envelope address requires the inmate's identification number and the full address. You can write, but obviously cannot send any illegal contraband with the letter.
Debbie Layton December 7, 2012 at 4:33 pm #
Is Ricardo allowed to receive Christmas cards or any type of cards in the mail? also, would I be able to send him a devotional from our church? Still need to know: how many are allowed to visit him at one time and do we need to make the visitation appointment ahead of time?

Szayel wrote:Yeah, the feeling is mutual. IMO, the movies have no where near the detail of the books. I think reading the books first is better, because you actually get the original source of the story. Let's take the hunger games for an example. While the movie was great, it was crap compared to the book. I had to constantly explain things to people because the didn't read the book.
95% of time I would agree with you. In this case however I didn't know about the books before I heard about the movie. I picked up the first one for something to watch after work one night and was hooked and had to watch the other two. However, the Hunger Games, IMO, was garbage. Like Twilight. I read the first book for both series. But to keep from derailing the topic, I would like to check out the books.

Downey Car Crash Lawyers
Each year thousands of people are involved in car crashes in Downey, California. Unfortunately, many people do not get the settlement they deserve because they do not contact the right Downey car crash lawyers. Failure to do so leaves countless people with medical issues that are not properly addressed, unpaid medical bills and damage to their vehicles that are not properly repaired. The Downey car crash lawyers of Moss Hovden have the knowledge and experience to take on even the most complicated personal injury cases.
When an automobile accident happens, the first thing you should do is make sure everyone is okay. Immediately call 911 to report the accident and have an ambulance sent to the scene. Your next call should be to your insurance company to report the accident. Once you have done that, you should call Moss Hovden's reputable Downey car crash lawyers. It is important that you call a personal injury attorney as soon as possible. It's essential they begin gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses and recreating the moments leading up to the accident so they can figure out which driver is at fault.
After an automobile accident, many people feel fine because they are driven by adrenaline. They take a quick look at their automobile and if they do not see any serious damage, they assume all is well and do not call consult Downey car crash lawyers. Often, two or three days later they begin to have pain from injuries caused by the accident and begin to notice the damage their vehicle sustained. It is only at that point that they call a personal injury lawyer. At this point it may be difficult to do a through crash site investigation because the crash debris may have been removed.
That's why if you are in an automobile accident in Downey or anywhere else, it's important to contact a personal injury attorney even if you feel fine. Often it takes a few days for your body to relax and the injury makes itself known. By contacting one of the Downey car crash lawyers of Moss Hovden immediately after the crash, they can take pictures of the accident scene, create a list of potential witnesses and gather evidence. This can make all the difference in the world should the case go to court. Without proper documentation, it can be near impossible to get the at-fault driver's insurance company to cover your medical bills and repair your car.
Should you be in a car crash, if you aren't too badly injured, you should take pictures of your vehicle, the at-fault vehicle, the other driver and anything else you can think of. But first call the police, your insurance company. You can never have too much evidence. But you should also remember not to make any incriminating statements to the police, the other driver's insurance company representative or anyone else. Ideally you should not discuss the crash until you have spoken with your attorney.
Contact Our Downey Car Crash Lawyers
After a car accident, a health physician health should be seen, whether there is pain or not. The human body is an amazing structure built to defend and repair damages. Sometimes, help is needed for a full recovery. Contact the Downey car crash lawyers at Moss Hovden at 877-959-6606 for a free case evaluation and to review your accident circumstances. They provide the best tactics for full compensation to restore the quality of life.

For too long, most people who didn't know the victims of heroin overdoses just shrugged off their deaths as the inevitable result of their bad decisions. They blamed the victims for their addiction and blamed the drugs for their deaths.
For too long, most people who didn't know the victims of heroin overdoses just shrugged off their deaths as the inevitable result of their bad decisions. They blamed the victims for their addiction and blamed the drugs for their deaths.
But nobody deserves to die of a heroin overdose, just as no one deserves to die of a heart attack. An overdose is a mistake in taking the drug, and it doesn't have to be a fatal one. A drug, administered quickly, can make the difference between surviving an overdose and dying from one.
The drug is naloxone, marketed as Narcon, and it has been used in hospital emergency rooms for years. Naloxone, often administered as a nasal spray, can reverse a heroin or opioid overdose.
On Thursday, Fall River Mayor Will Flanagan asked DPH for permission for Fall River police officers to carry naloxone.
Over the past several years, pilot programs have put naloxone in the hands of first responders — ambulance crews, police and firefighters — in several Massachusetts cities, including Fall River and Taunton, with impressive results: As of October 2013, departments had reported more than 300 overdoses reversed.
The pilot program run through the Massachusetts Department of Public Health has trained and encouraged another kind of "first responder" — drug users, their friends and family members who may be present when an overdose occurs. Their naloxone interventions have resulted in the reversal of more than 2,300 overdoses.
This week, in Taunton, a city that has been plagued with a shocking number of heroin overdoses — 67 just since the start of the year, as of Wednesday — Seven Hills Behavioral Health Foundation has been sending in a "mobile street outreach" team twice a week to get the life-saving overdose antidote into the hands of drug users and their families.
Meanwhile, U.S. Sen. Edward Markey has asked federal health officials what it would take to expand emergency responder and "bystander" naloxone programs nationwide.
Local, state and federal officials should embrace this live-saving treatment. Just as, a decade or more ago, heart defibrillators moved from hospitals to ambulances, school gyms and private fitness centers, naloxone should be available wherever a drug overdose happens.
Opioid and heroin addiction is difficult to treat, but not impossible. In Massachusetts and across the nation, officials are at last talking about improving access to treatment for addicts instead of just locking them up for longer sentences.
One need only hear the words of a Taunton mother whose daughter was revived from an overdose on the sidewalk of Charlton Memorial Hospital in Fall River to understand the life-saving value of naloxone: "If you keep her alive, that's all that matters," said Susan Malloch-Taylor, whose daughter is working on recovering from her heroin addiction. "I thank God for every day that my daughter is still alive. … I'm all for anything that is going to keep these kids alive until they are ready for help. Every parent of a heroin addict living in their house should have Narcan."
An emphasis on "harm-reduction" makes sense with such a wide-scale public health emergency. In that context, giving first responders — including emergency personnel, police and even friends and family members of addicts — the tools they need to prevent fatal overdoses is an easy call.

Grub Error 17
This afternoon, Isaac and I installed a new video card on the so-called "good" computer which has Windows Vista on its main hard drive. It also has Ubuntu Feisty Fawn installed on another disk, so it can be booted in either Windows or Ubuntu.
While we had the computer open, we saw the wires for the headset jack on the front of the computer which has never worked. So we decided to plug them in, and also to plug in a card reader that was disconnected for reasons too complicated to explain right now.
Somehow, when we rebooted, something caused a GRUB error, and now the computer won't boot in either Windows or Ubuntu. It says, "GRUB loading" and then something about GRUB loading stage 1.5, and then, Error 17. We took the video card out and unplugged the things we had plugged in, but the error remains.
I've spent the evening reading about Error 17, including the story of someone else who had this problem after installing a video card. Apparently the GRUB will have to be repaired or reinstalled somehow. "Error 17" means it's unable to read boot-up instructions in the place where it's looking for them.
I've already tried booting up the computer with a live Unbuntu CD. I've typed various powerful incantations and spells into the terminal window but no magic has occurred.
Don't worry if you don't understand all this about GRUB, etc. I don't understand it very well myself! What it really means is I am just geeky enough to get myself into trouble that I really am not prepared to handle. I hope Keely's boyfriend will have some helpful suggestions.

In his latest movie "To Rome With Love," Woody Allen plays Jerry, a retired music executive and former opera director who travels to Italy to meet his daughter's fiancé. Upon his arrival in the Eternal City, Jerry encounters his future son-in-law's father, an undertaker who happens to have a perfect operatic voice — but only when he's singing in the shower.
The chance discovery precipitates a series of comic set pieces, and prompts Jerry to rediscover his passion for the operatic art form.
Over the weekend, "To Rome With Love" expanded to 806 screens (up from 29) and earned $3.5 million at the box office.
The opera episode in the film — which features a handful of parallel stories — should have special resonance for classical-music fans in Los Angeles who had a chance to experience Allen's first opera production in 2008. The Oscar-winning filmmaker staged "Gianni Schicchi," the third part of Puccini's "Il Trittico," for L.A. Opera at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion to critical acclaim.
Allen's production of "Gianni Schicchi" was an homage to Italian comedy films of the 1950s, such as "Big Deal on Madonna Street." The set and costumes evoked a black-and-white movie, and the singers performed in a broadly comical style.
The staging, which was designed by frequent Allen collaborator Santo Loquasto, featured a projected opening credit sequence using the filmmaker's signature font type. Following the run in L.A., Allen's production traveled to the Spoleto Festival in Italy in 2009.
Allen's opera was a crowd-pleaser. In the movie, Jerry's tastes run more avant-garde and serve as the butt of a few jokes. His wife (Judy Davis) reminds him that he once staged "Rigoletto" with all the performers dressed as white mice. The character also directed a "Tosca" set entirely in a phone booth.
"To Rome With Love" uses a real opera singer to play the role of the vocally talented undertaker — tenor Fabio Armiliato, who performs several Italian arias on the soundtrack including "Nessun Dorma" from "Turandot."
The movie's climax features a performance of "Pagliacci." In case you're wondering where Allen filmed the scene, Architectural Digest reports that it was shot at the Teatro Argentina, an 18th century opera house that is one of the oldest theaters in Rome.

The three letter language codes are derived from the codes broadcast in the PID definitions (see pat.c under 'case SI::SubtitlingDescriptorTag:'). The full names are derived from the EPG's component descriptors (see eit.c under 'case SI::ComponentDescriptorTag:'). When it comes to presenting these to the user, they are collected in menu.c, function SetTrackDescriptions(). If no textual description is available, the raw index of the track is used. So VDR just displays what the provider broadcasts - unless, of course, there is a bug in VDR's code, in which case you're welcome to send a fix.

Biancca came to stay at the apartment. She had beautiful eyes and a luscious ass. She met James and it was not long until she was getting pumped from behind. She was obviously very willing and ready to pay the rent. She was a petite girl and was very good at bouncing on that cock. She got her delicious pussy drilled and got buttermilk all over her. Enjoy.

Abhisamayālaṃkāra (Ornament for Clear Realization)
James B. Apple
The Abhisamayālaṃkāra (Ornament for clear realization) is an instructional treatise on the Prajñāpāramitā, or Perfect Wisdom, whose authorship is traditionally attributed to Maitreyanātha (c. 350
Sam van Schaik
Dzogchen, often translated as "the great perfection," is a tradition of meditation practice and poetic literary expression in Tibetan Buddhism. Though its origins lie in Indic Buddhism, Dzogchen developed a distinct form of practice and literary expression only in Tibet. In general, Dzogchen texts evoke and discuss a state of awareness present in all living beings that transcends dualities and conceptual elaboration.
Common terms for this state of awareness are "mind itself" (sems nyid) and "awareness" (rig pa). Dzogchen literature often states that in the presence of this awareness, religious practice oriented toward enlightenment is dualistic and, therefore, not only unnecessary, but also obstructive. Nevertheless, Dzogchen is usually integrated with other forms of Buddhist practice.
The Dzogchen tradition encompasses a variety of literature and practice; the most common way of categorizing this is a division into three classes, the mind series, the space series, and the instruction series. The mind series contains most of the early Dzogchen literature, and more recent material in the same style. The space series enjoyed only limited popularity, and little is known of it today. The instruction series, by contrast, increased in popularity from its appearance in the 11th century and in time supplanted the mind series and the space series, ultimately becoming the predominant form of Dzogchen.
The practice of Dzogchen requires an authorized teacher and the ritual transmission of key texts, as well as an "introduction" to the nature of the mind given by the teacher to the student. The main scriptural sources of Dzogchen practice are texts held to be translations collected in semicanonical compendia, treatises by Tibetan scholars, and revealed texts known as terma, usually said to have been concealed in the 8th century by the tantric master Padmasambhava.
Dzogchen is a living tradition, taught within all of the main Tibetan Buddhist schools, though it remains closely associated with the Nyingma school. Within the latter, Dzogchen is considered to be the most advanced of Buddhist meditation practices, placed at the top of a ninefold categorization of Buddhist practice, the "nine vehicles." Known in this context as atiyoga, "the utmost yoga," it is the highest of the three "inner yogas," the other two being mahāyoga and anuyoga. Dzogchen is also at the pinnacle of the teachings of Tibet's Bonpo religion, which shares much of its doctrine with the Nyingma school and has in recent years been formally identified as one of the Buddhist schools of Tibet.
Esoteric Buddhism in Southeast Asia
Nathan McGovern
"Esoteric Buddhism" and "Buddhist Tantra" are contested categories to begin with in Buddhist studies; within the specific context of the study of Buddhism in Southeast Asia, they are doubly contested. That is, on top of the usual contestations applying to these categories within the contexts in which they are usually studied—medieval north India, Tibet, and Zhenyan/Shingon in East Asia—there arises the issue of whether and to what extent these categories are applicable to Southeast Asian Buddhism. There are two discrete ways in which the category "esoteric Buddhism" can be used as a lens through which to study aspects of Southeast Asian Buddhism. The first is historical and pertains to the usual referent of "esoteric Buddhism," namely, Tantra as an aspect or subdivision of Mahāyāna Buddhism (mantranaya). Although Mahāyāna Buddhism is no longer a major force within Southeast Asian Buddhism (aside from Vietnamese Buddhism, which shares more affinities with East Asian Buddhism), Mahāyāna Buddhism did play a significant role in several "classical" Southeast Asian states in the past, and there is some evidence of mantranaya ideas and practices within certain historical Southeast Asian Mahāyāna contexts. The second way in which "esoteric Buddhism" can be applied to Southeast Asian Buddhism is as a (putative) aspect of Theravāda or Pali Buddhism, which continues to be practiced over much of mainland Southeast Asia to the present day. Certain aspects of contemporary (and recent historical) Theravāda/Pali Buddhism have been labeled variously "Tantric Theravāda" or "esoteric Southern Buddhism" out of perceived similarities to the more familiar system of Mahāyāna Buddhist Tantra.
Filial Piety in Chinese Buddhism
Guang Xing
Many people, even scholars like Kenneth Ch'en, thought that filial piety is a special feature of Chinese Buddhism because it has been influenced by Confucianism, which considers filial piety as the foundation of its ethics and the root of moral teaching. In fact, we find in the early Buddhist textual sources that filial piety is not only taught and practiced in Indian Buddhism but also considered an essential moral good deed although it is never taken as the foundation of Buddhist moral teaching. One of the most important sutta-s related to this issue in early Buddhist resources is the Pāli Kataññu Sutta, which teaches children to pay their debts to the parents who gave them birth and brought them up with much difficulty and hardship. When Buddhism was introduced in China during the Eastern Han dynasty (25–220), Confucianism already occupied the central position in Chinese philosophical thought, and it continued until the end of imperial rule in the beginning of the early 20th century, although its position was challenged by Buddhism and Daoism from time to time. In response to Confucian criticism of Buddhists being unfilial, the learned Chinese Buddhists retorted in theoretical argumentation in the following four ways: (1) translations of and references to Buddhist sutra-s that teach filial behavior; (2) writing scholarly refutations of the charges of unfilial practices, such as Mouzi's Lihuolun and Qisong's Xiaolun; (3) interpreting Buddhist precepts as equal to the Confucian concept of filial piety; and (4) teaching people to pay four debts to four groups of people: parents, all sentient beings, kings, and Buddhists. Ordinary Chinese Buddhists replied to the criticism by (1) composing apocryphal scriptures, such as the Fumu Enzhong Jing (Sūtra on the Great Kindness of Parents), to teach filial piety and (2) popularizing such stories and parables as the Śyama Jātaka and the Ullambana Sūtra by way of public lectures, painted illustrations called Banxiang or tableaus on walls and silk, and annual celebration of the Yulanpen festival, popularly known as the ghost festival. Chinese Buddhism has become a religion that emphasizes the teaching and practice of filial piety with rich resources through such exchange and interaction with Confucianism and Daoism for the last two thousand years. Even today, ordinary Chinese Buddhists still teach and read the Fumu Enzhong Jing and celebrate the Yulanpen festival every year. This influenced Daoism such that they also created a similar text teaching filial piety and celebrate the festival on the same day and perform same activities of feeding the hungry ghosts, but they call it Zhongyuan.
Four Noble Truths
Carol S. Anderson
The Buddhist teaching known in English as the four noble truths is most often understood as the single most important teaching of the historical buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, who taught in northern India during the 5th century
Mahāmudrā in India and Tibet
Roger R. Jackson
Mahāmudrā, "the Great Seal," is a Sanskrit term (Tibetan: phyag rgya chen po) that connotes a wide range of concepts and practices in Indian Mahāyāna and, especially, Tibetan Buddhism, most of them directly or indirectly related to discourse on ultimate reality and the way to know and achieve it. The term first appeared in Indian tantric texts of the 7th or 8th century
Naikan: A Meditation Method and Psychotherapy
Clark Chilson
"Naikan" 内観 is a self-reflective form of meditation founded by Yoshimoto Ishin 吉本伊信 (1916–1988), who developed it from a lay Shin Buddhist practice called mishirabe身調べ. After Yoshimoto used it to help prisoners in the 1950s, psychiatrists in the 1960s started to use it as a psychotherapy. Today in Japan it is the most popular psychotherapeutic method that originated in Buddhism.
Naikan involves self-reflection on three questions: What have I received from a significant other? What have I given back to that person? What troubles and difficulties did I cause that person? People doing Naikan ask themselves these questions in relation to a family member or some other person during particular times in their lives.
There are two types of the practice: intensive Naikan (shūchū naikan集中内観) and daily Naikan (nichijō naikan日常内観 or bunsan naikan分散内観). The former is done continually for a week at a Naikan training center, of which there are about twenty-five in Japan and several outside Japan in Austria, Germany, and the United States. During intensive Naikan, those doing Naikan report individually eight or so times a day their answers to the three questions to an "interviewer" (mensetsusha面接者). Daily Naikan is done as part of a person's everyday normal routine for as short as a few minutes or as long as two hours a day. Intensive or daily Naikan is offered as a therapy at about twenty medical institutions in Japan and another fifteen in China.
Intensive Naikan is commonly done for one of four reasons. First, it is done to solve a specific problem, such as alcoholism, gambling addiction, a psychosomatic disorder, or a bad relationship with a family member. Second, it is used to train employees so they can interact better with customers and colleagues. The Toyoko Inn, for example, which has over 230 hotels throughout Japan, requires all its full-time employees to do intensive Naikan. Third, it cultivates greater self-awareness with regard to, for example, how our minds work. Finally, it is done to discover the true nature of our lives through a spiritual awakening, which commonly entails the realization of how we live due to the care of others and how we suffer because of our own self-centeredness. This final purpose is in accordance with Yoshimoto's view of Naikan as a method for learning how to live happily regardless of one's life circumstances. Those who do Naikan for non-psychotherapeutic purposes sometimes use the term "Naikanhō" 内観法 (Naikan method) to distinguish their aims from Naikan therapy (Naikan ryōhō) 内観療法, which is used to solve a particular problem. But regardless of whether Naikan is done for self-developmental, spiritual, or for therapeutic reasons, the Naikan method of reflecting on the three Naikan questions is the same.
The Philosophical Works and Influence of Dignāga and Dharmakīrti

The Sangha as an Institution
Thomas Borchert
Along with the buddha and the dharma, the sangha is one of the "three jewels," the core aspects of Buddhism in which a Buddhist "takes refuge." The sangha is responsible for taking care of and propagating the dharma, the teachings of the buddha. It can also be considered more broadly as the Buddhist community, which in turn can be thought of as the group of people who either take refuge in the three jewels or follow the teachings of the buddha. Given this, the sangha has generally been conceptualized in two ways. Most often, it refers to the community of men and women who have been ordained as monks and nuns under the auspices of Buddhist disciplinary teachers. At the same time, it can sometimes refer more broadly to the four-fold community of monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen.
While the sangha may be discussed in the singular, generally speaking it is appropriate to think of sanghas in the plural. In this sense, the term refers not to an ideal community that maintains the teachings of the buddha but rather to the communal and institutional structures through which people define themselves as Buddhist and maintain their Buddhist identities. A particular sangha is revealed by interrogating the linkages (i.e., lineages) between different Buddhists, the kinds of educational structures in place to train adherents, the ways that Buddhists discipline themselves (for example, through the vinaya rules), and the ways in which external governing bodies seek to regulate Buddhist communities.
Tantra and the Tantric Traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism
David B. Gray
The term tantra and the tantric traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism have been subjected to a great deal of misunderstanding in both India and the West. There is a diverse range of attitudes toward the tantric traditions, ranging from their emic understandings as paths to liberation to the relatively widespread associations of the tantric traditions with sorcery and libertine sexuality. Likewise, tantric traditions are also extremely diverse, which has made it difficult to develop a definition broad enough to cover the various tantric traditions without being overly broad. There have also been many attempts to discern the origins of the tantric traditions. While there is very little evidence supporting the hypothesis that any of the tantric traditions existed before the 5th century
An overview of the history of tantric traditions, then, should begin with a survey the development of the Hindu tantric traditions, from the mid-first millennium

Scout Food Drive A Success!
November 2, Cub Scout Pack 830 and Girl Scout Troop 30100 was out in force on this wet rainy day, but that didn't stop these kids from walking with pride going door to door in Derby, Derby Line, and Newport. These kids asked community members to help them support the local food shelf for Hungerfest 2013. The food drive was a success and these young children want to send out a huge Thank You to everyone who donated non-perishable items and cash donations to their food drive. Most of all the leaders Amy and Paul Snider would like to thank the parents of these scouts for making Saturday's food drive a success.
