We caught up with Will Powell, our key man in Africa, to ask him for some perspective in the wake of the recent events in Nairobi. As it happens, Will was on the ground in Nairobi during the attacks and has been able to get some very local insight.
Q: What is the situation like right now in Nairobi?
A: Things are very tense. There is a lot of uncertainty, people are shocked and afraid, and the situation continues to evolve. At the same time, the city of Nairobi is home to 3.3 million people and life goes on.
Q: What is the news on the ground? What are people talking about in Nairobi?
A: In terms of security, there are two main concerns.
First, this isn't over yet. While the situation at Westgate Mall will eventually stabilize – even at horrible costs of human life – we believe that there may well be further related incidents. There is a lot of discontent among certain groups, and security risks are endemic.
Second, this is allowing other risks to escalate.
Police and other local authorities are putting all of there focus on Westgate Mall and associated threats. This means certain people in Nairobi now feel that it is easier to get away with all kinds of things. Our local intelligence tells us that carjackings and other attacks are on the rise in Nairobi. Some of the bad guys apparently feel that while local and international focus is on Westgate, other crime is less likely to get caught. So all around Nairobi, we are advising clients, friends and family to be extra cautious in high-risk situations.
Q: How should expats and other foreigners travelling in Africa react to the recent attacks?
A: As always, we recommend a course of no panic. Be prepared, think ahead, relax.
Instead of panic, we are actively encouraging all of our clients – and anyone else we talk to – to follow some simple guidelines. We call these ASP – short for Awareness, Surroundings and Plan.
First, it's very important to be extra AWARE and vigilant right now. Stay away from public areas unless you really need to be there. Be very alert. Know the risks and mitigate them however you can.
Second, know your SURROUNDINGS. Know where you are, where the exit is, where you parked the car and where to find cover if you need to.
Know where the unexpected might be most likely to occur. There's no reason to be alarmist about this – or to scare the rest of the family – but in times like this it is worth your while to use some energy in getting to know your surroundings in a security sense. If you've had training for this kind of thing, now is the time to use it. If you have not had security training, then it's always a good idea to consider doing this. It just makes life less stressful.
Third, have a PLAN. Go through predictable scenarios with children, spouses and staff, and have a plan ready that will help you respond. It's things like staying in your hotel room instead of going out if there is trouble. It's things like hiding rather than running in a lot of situations. And it's things like knowing when to make a run for it when the opportunity presents itself. Again, training is a good idea. But common sense is always a good friend.
Q: How could such a large mall – and obvious target – be so vulnerable to such an attack?
A: Security in Kenya faces a lot of challenges.
The various layers of the system do not work together optimally. Guards at public venues are not always trained or armed. Things are not coordinated. Contingencies are not considered. Rather than a security check, we might sometimes refer to what happens at entrances to sensitive venues as "security ceremonies".
For example, the Westgate Mall here in Nairobi has only three entrances, so you'd think it was relatively easy to protect. But the drive-in entrance, where 4-5 guards were on duty, does not check everything. Although they had under-car mirrors and looked through all cars, if there was something in the car they couldn't actually open, the car would be sent to the roof parking rather than indoor parking. That's it.
The other entrance is for pedestrians from the street level. Yes, there are guards with security wands, but there is not the kind of back up that you can see in other countries. If the security check is rushed by armed attackers, there is no fall-back system where the next layer of security kicks in to take over.
There are indications that this is what happened in Nairobi on Saturday: it seems that a number of armed terrorists rushed the pedestrian entrance from the street, and they were not stopped or slowed down. It's also possible that the street-level attackers were able to join other attackers on the roof and pick up more arms, but none of this has been confirmed.
The third "entrance" to the Westgate Mall is actually a one-way exit. But this is also a possible security breach.
Q: In addition to clients in Nairobi, you also have family and friends who live and do business there. What is your advice to them right now?
A: My advice to clients is the same as my advice to my own family and friends. After all, it has to be that way!
What I recommend in the short term is to be extra vigilant, extra aware.
There is rarely any good reason to take unnecessary chances – whether it's on a European highway or a back street in Nairobi. Now, there are a lot of extra reasons to reduce risk and eliminate situations that could lead to harm. Do it. Be extra careful, be extra vigilant.
At the same time, there are many reasons to carry on. If we all succumb to numbness every time al-Shabaab or other terrorist groups does something terrible, then we give them what they are looking for.
I was in another Nairobi shopping mall this morning to pick up a few things for my family – along with many others. Of course, I'm trained to deal with situations like this, but the mall was filled with people going about their business and I felt perfectly comfortable there.
Based on everything I know from my years in Africa, I firmly believe that Nairobi, Kenya and the rest of East Africa will carry on, and the fantastic development that also is a reality in Africa will continue.

Mark Your Calendars!
The 2009 Freedom Fund Banquet of the Virginia Beach Chapter of the NAACP will be held at the Westin in Town Center on November 1. (That's All Saints Day for we Catholics.) It's a big annual fundraiser for the local Chapter. First, anyone who is anyone in the African-American community will be there. Second, for any politician seeking favor in the African-American community, it's a must event.
I ran into President Georgia Allen this morning and learned the date and location. Once I get the full spread of details, I'll be sure to post them.

I have several former classmates who are still members of the NAACP and have worked on some campaigns alongside many or their members. However, here in the Twenty-first Century, we have reached a point where race-based organizations are more harmful than helpful.
While citizens are free to associate into any group that they want, participation in race-based groups, such as La Raza, Nazis, the KKK and the NAACP clearly sends a signal that participants in such groups still cling to American apartheid ideas.
African Americans would use their energy more constructively by joining community service groups that serve the whole community and who do not have as their membership basis a certain race or gender, such as KIWANIS, Rotary, Lions, etc.

3 speeds not enough (Sturmey Archer or SRAM/Sachs) not enough? This kit upgrades your Brompton to 6 gears and with a wide ratio.

Warning: Last few in stock!
Availability date:
Included in this Brompton gear upgrade kit is:
Summary of upgrade
The upgrade involves replacing the wheel, replacing the chain tensioner with the Brompton derailleur version, installing the chain pusher (effectively the derailleur for the Brompton), the derailleur gear cable and the shifter / trigger
In addition to this kit you will also need the gear cable - this is ordered seperately as there are 4 models depending upon the handlebar type (M, P, H or S) - these can be ordered by clicking on the "accessories" tab.
Brompton Q part code: QDRRETSET3->6BWR
Brompton part number: 9012091
Note: Full (quite complex) instructions are included. If you want to check out in advance, please ask by clicking here. Or click on the download tab.
Q. Will this kit fit any Brompton?
A. No - this will fit Bromptons made after 2002 when the rear derailleur system was introduced
Please note: This will only fit newer (though 2002 is not that new any more!) Bromptons with the brazings in place to accept a 6 speed gear configuration - we will contact you to check before shipping.
Q. I am not sure of the age of my Brompton - is there a way to check compatibility.
A. Bromptons built after the introduction of the derailleur system have a hexagonal shaped fitting on the rear triangle. If you look at the document in the download tab, you can see in figure DR1 on page 2 what it looks like. If it's not on your Brompton then there is nowhere to fit the derailleur.
Q. I don't have the place to fit the derailleur to - is that the end?
A. If you still want six gears then it is possible to change the rear frame/triangle for a new one - though this is a dealer only fitting option.
Q. I already have a Sturmet Archer wheel - can I just upgrade the sprockets and derailleur without the wheel?
A. The BWR wheel has different gearing (the standard ratio gearing means that even if it were possible to add more than one sprocket then the gears would in effect overlap - meaning you wouldn't get the benefit) AND the driver (where the sprockets sit) is not wide enough for more than one sprocket.
Q. I have a 3 speed SRAM / Sachs wheel currently - is this kit compatible.
A. Yes - although it is also possible (normally) to upgrade the existing Sachs / SRAM wheel to 6 speed without the need for a new wheel - though the wheel is probably very old by now so the full upgrade may we worthwhile, and this 6 speed gives a wider range of gears than the SRAM / Sachs equivalent.

All first responders are advocates of someone who is suffering a trauma. It may be effecting their home, their neighborhoods, national security, support staff keeping our these heroes doing their daily job but who advocates for the first responder? There are people and organizations dedicated to helping first responders who have endured traumatic events, there are training organizations that train them on how to handle the crisis oriented situations they may face.
There are peer support leaders and mentors within the first responder community that help determine when someone might need help. The First Responder's Coalition advocacy is specifically dedicated to these men and women and their families. We want to help these advocates with answers resources and training. We want them to be able to identify someone who might be struggling with alcohol or pills and know exactly where to turn. We want these peer support leaders to know how to help a family member find the support they need.
Who helps the helpers? Who fights for the fighters?
Can you imagine a law enforcement officer needing help for alcoholism but the only place to turn is someone they've written a ticket to or had to arrest. This is something that happens everyday. Alcoholism effects everyone. Which includes law enforcement, firefighters and correctional officers. There is a safe place to turn.
Our firefighters and soldiers are on duty days at a time, what if they have a dependence on an opiate to help with their pain? This happens. First responders put themselves on the front lines. How can we help? Pilots, doctors get addicted and so do first responders.
First Responders Coalition offers advocacy in the form of
- Getting the right help the first time.
- Getting help where there is an understanding of what kind of help is needed.
- Creating a community where help can be continued not only for the client but their loved ones as well.
- Creating local support in the community so that trust and safety that is experienced among first responders, when needing to find someone who understands.

Installed raspberry 3 + and it connected to the wifi of my router which was in the same room, have now moved the raspberry 3 + to another room where the router wifi signal is poor but I have another wifi unit there. It connect to the router wifi but gave the IP address of my Internet line and not the local network which is strange because that is not wireless, tried to get it to connect to the other wifi but after putting the password and clicking ok nothing happens and it just shows two red crosses on the wifi icon.
How do I get it to connect to this wifi?

The greatest miracle in life is a newborn baby👶🏾… To hold a newborn baby you cannot deny that it is a miracle that super exceeds anyone's expectations. Just to hold a newborn baby and feel the joy and love it brings, makes you want to shout it out to the entire world that you are a grandma once again.
To hear, see and feel the heartbeat is an understatement of the life you hold in your hands. Watching the tiny fingers and toes and to count them all is an overwhelming gesture. Looking for the first imaginary smile, the opening of the eyes, the first cry, the first poo, the suckling sound and the clinching of the tiny hands are all proof that indeed we are fearfully and wonderfully made.
Doctors and nurses base their knowledge on text books, experiences and new information provided by researchers….But nothing is certain until God says so.
My newest miracle came in the form of my granddaughter Amaris born to my last daughter Eddie-Marie on June 11, 2016 – Eddie (as we call her) is quite a trooper as she beautifully managed her labor pains for weeks unending. Doctors denied that she was in actual labor because 1. The baby's head was still very high 2. She was only 2 cms in spite of very excruciating pain for weeks 3. The monitor showed intense contractions but the evidence of full labor was not there …. After the decision was made to induce her at 40 weeks , the next step was to break her water to help her to dilate quicker. At this point, Eddie, her husband and us her parents made a collaborative decision to request a C- section much to the displeasure of the fully qualified medical staff who taught it better to allow the stages of labor to take its normal cause.
After hours of leaving us to rethink our decision, they agreed with Eddie's decision giving us the pros and cons of the choice. Surgery was scheduled for a 4:30 pm delivery. The doctors surprised us and came instead at 4 pm. We hugged and kissed Eddie wishing her the very best. Now, it was our turn to anxiously wait for the good news. At 6:30pm the long awaited news and smiles came that baby Amaris was born at 4:45 pm and weighed in at 7 lbs – the joys, smiles and laughter is just too much to put into words.
The miracle was here. The report was given to us by the nurse and doctors that baby was healthy and perfect and mother was also doing well.
The alarming news was – the baby's umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck a total of three times. Baby's position in the womb was turned into a pear shape making it difficult for the head to drop into place . Baby girl's body was positioned way higher than was first perceived which prevented the dilation of the cervix etc. The medical staff surprised by what they saw moved them to fully agree that the right choice was made by Eddie and the family which was to go ahead with a C-section. The thirty minutes difference between scheduled surgery and the actual arrival of the doctors made a significant difference as we could have had a tragedy of some sort.
God knew we had prayed from day one of this pregnancy for a perfect baby with all organs working, limbs in place and a child that would fear and serve God. He was not about to disappoint us …..as hindsight would have it – we can look back at all the 'ifs' that could have played out. Instead, we got a real life miracle in baby Amaris. What a joy it was to hold her tightly to our chests and thank God for His amazing gift. Both Mother and Baby had a miracle.
Days after Amaris's birth, we heard from an associate of my husband how she lost a nephew at birth because the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck three times. Can I thank God enough? Never!! Will I thank God forever? Yes. Are Baby Amaris's chapters already written by her Creator God? Yes
The next time you see or hold a newborn baby, remember it's a miracle you are holding.
The birth of a child is an unforgettable experience.

Lynsi Love centre CBO
Lynsi Love Center Orphanage is a Community-Based Organization that came into existence 3 years ago. We were moved by the appalling condition that the orphans in the slums of Kayole, Soweto, and Patanisho live in.
I mobilized people with passion and we formed the organization with the following objectives:
* To provide education to orphaned children - Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary.
* To provide a home for the vulnerable orphans.
* To help economically empower widows living with H.I.V/ Aids to raise the standard of living through micro finance so that they can cater for the orphans
* To help educate the community on safe water, health and hygiene.
* To create H.I.V/ Aids awareness among the youth
* To buy land a build a school and a home for the orphaned.
We are currently have 10 volunteers working on the project.
We have 40 orphans now benefiting from our program. We plan to help 300 orphans when fully operational.
The biggest challenges we have is there is no permanent funding. We depend on few well wishers who gives donations or short term funding. We are also faced with ignorance from the community and we need more funds to educate the community.
If we get donations it will go on expanding educational facility to be able to accommodate more orphans who are on the waiting list. We will buy land and build a cente that will be a pilot center to help cater for the needs of the orphans.
To empower orphaned child for self reliant
Statement of Faith
Lynsi Love Centre CBO is founded on the Bible and its revelation of Jesus Christ. :
The Holy Scriptures of the Old and the New Testament (a total of 66 Books) are the Word of God. It is divinely inspired, infallible, inerrant, entirely trustworthy and serves as a supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct (2 Tim. 3:16-17).
God is One. The one God is eternally self-existent in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Deut. 6:4-5; Mt. 28:19)
Jesus Christ is Saviour and Lord. As God, He was manifest in the flesh. We believe in His virgin birth; His sinless life; His divine miracles; His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection; His ascension; His mediatorial work; and His future personal return in Power and Glory (Lk. 1:32-33; Jn. 1:1-4; 1 Tim. 2:5-6; 6:13-16).
Holy Spirit is God. As the third Person in the Godhead, He indwells every believer upon conversion and enables the believer to live a holy life; to witness in power; and to work for the Lord Jesus Christ (Act. 5:3-4; Mt. 28:19; Acts. 1:8).
Man was made in the image of God and sinless. By choice Man fell out of favour into sin. In God's mercy, salvation comes to every lost and sinful person freely and simply by faith in Jesus Christ who shed His blood for sin, and through regeneration by the Holy Spirit (Gen. 1:26-28; 3:1-21; Jn.1:11-13, 1Cor. 12:13).
All believers in Jesus Christ are one body, the Church, of which He is the Head (1 Cor. 12:13; Eph. 2:14-22).
Satan is a fallen angel whose intent is to supplant God and frustrate His purpose, and whose ultimate end is consignment to eternal punishment (Lk. 10:17-18; Rev. 20:10).
Bodily Resurrection of all the dead will take place some day. Believers in Christ will rise unto everlasting blessedness while unbelievers will rise unto judgement and everlasting punishment (Rev. 20:11-15; 2 Cor. 5: 9-10).

With winter around the corner some homeowners may be thinking about plugging all the leaks in their home to make them less drafty. Imagine if every homeowner in the country did that—how much energy could be saved? Using physics-based modeling of the U.S. housing stock, researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) found in a new study that upgrading airtightness to a unifo…

Runaway Home was back on the road last week and it sure felt good to be playing music live again. The Von Braun Center in Huntsville, Alabama and Jim Parker's Songwriter Concert Showcase was more than just a stopover for the band. It was an oasis of good times, belly laughs and a re-charge of purpose. It was affirmation that this crazy second act of ours is still on course.
Live music venues, especially ones with a strong, venue-loyal fan base are becoming the exception and not the rule. Though some of our own fans followed us to this show, we were introduced to a completely new audience who love music with meaning. They listen hard to the words. They laugh and cry in all the right places. They appreciate harmony singing and the irreverence of a new-old indie band making music on their own terms. It was the shot in the arm that we needed to kick off the fall touring calendar and reignite the fire for producing our next CD. That said, being on stage is just a part of being on the road. Although it's the most important part and the most rewarding part (because it's the point of the whole thing), it is the smallest aspect of being on the road. Travelling together in a cramped van navigating traffic jams, sugar cravings, bossy bladders and maxed-out data plans are constantly integrated into the experience. We pack our tools of the trade behind the seats, under the seats, in a rooftop luggage rack and more often, across our laps. Instruments, amps, changes of clothes, merchandise, extra strings, set lists, directions and lunch are all thrown in with us. Somehow, it all gets unpacked, unfolded, set-up, torn down, repacked and refolded after the gig. All of this insanity takes place just in time to make a late-night Waffle House run before putting a few hundred more miles back on the van.
Everything that can go wrong though, sometimes does. Take for example, stepping on and breaking off the valve stem on the back tire while loading the roof rack. Then there's forgetting the gig is in eastern time instead of central time, showing up to a venue whose idea of a sound system is one beer soaked mic, a duck taped mic-stand (without a boom) and a four channel amp with three missing knobs. Sometimes the gig is booked on the same day that the town's football team is playing in the championship for the first time in two decades. Sometimes three hundred people make reservations to come to the theater, but stay home instead to watch O.J. Simpson being driven in that white Bronco, on a ridiculous low-speed chase through the streets of LA (yes- that happened). Sometimes (many times) the paycheck at the end of the night doesn't cover the gas in the car, the food in our belly or the hotel pillow to lay our heads down for a few hours. Sometimes your voice is in perfect shape the night before a gig and then the day of the gig, you suddenly sound like the singing lovechild of Neil Young and Bea Arthur. And sometimes, your father dies.
There are so many reasons why this journey looks too tough to see though to the end and why for most bands, the journey ends on the lessor side of love of glory. What makes it work for us? You do. You make it work when you sing along, when you compare (for better or worse) how we played a song tonight vs. last weekend. You make it work when you drive your own cramped van long distances, through ridiculous obstacles, just to share a night of music with us. You make it work when you buy our CD's, T-Shirts, and Coffee Mugs because you don't want the experience to end at the gig. You make it work when you ask with sympathetic irritation, "Why aren't you on the radio" and "why aren't you famous yet?" When you leave red roses in our green room in memory of my father – well you more than make it work. You begin the un-breaking of a heart. You remind me that life goes on and so too does the show. Red roses in our green room? You better believe we'll sing our hearts out for you each and every night we take the stage. Let's gather next in Pensacola Beach, Florida…this weekend.

There were lots of picnics being set up in the park. Big church picnics hosted by a couple of the megachurches in the area. Apparently Memorial Day is a big day for church picnics. I was glad to see the American Legion out there too, setting up for a commemoration later in the day.
I thought about my Uncle John, the oldest brother of my father. He was in the Navy, and went to Vietnam in the mid 60s as an advisor. I remember he came to visit us in California before he went for survival training. I really only saw him a few times. He made it back from Vietnam in one piece, and was given command of a destroyer--the USS O'Banion. Shortly thereafter he was diagnosed with some sort of cancer and died at the age of 48. His daughter told me that he had been exposed to Agent Orange during the war. He is buried at Arlington. My dad is 88 and their other brother just turned 90. I wish he could have become an old man like them.

RYAN BERTRAND insists Gareth Southgate made a mistake in not taking him to the World Cup.
The Southampton left-back was left out of England's 23-man squad for Russia, with Ashley Young, Danny Rose and Fabian Delph preferred.
Bertrand, 28, told the Daily Mail that Southgate said his decision was down to the selected players' capability at left wing-back.
But he said: "I played wing-back in a five at the end of the season, which is how England play. I also played in a three for Southampton with Vigil van Dijk and Jose Fonte, and we went on Southampton's record clean sheet run, six on the bounce.
"I played left-midfield in a Champions League final for Chelsea. It is perhaps an oversight in the manager's analysis and I find that hard to take."
DREAM TEAM WORLD CUP Click here to sign up for this summer's brilliant fantasy football game
Southgate's call came two days into a family holiday at the end of the season.
Bertrand said he was shocked at the news and some "awkward silences" followed but he decided there was no point trying to convince the England boss.
He said: "On individual comparisons, I deserve to be on the plane. I assessed my game time and contributions against my rivals and I was very competitive, if not leading in the statistics."
Rose, who started in England's 1-0 win over Costa Rica on Thursday, said last week he would have been "very angry" if he were Bertrand.
The Tottenham full-back has played just 17 matches for Tottenham since January 2017, while Bertrand represented Southampton 54 times in the same period.
Bertrand will instead cheering on the Three Lions when they face Tunisia on June 18.

Do you employ Raja (the dealer) and if so, how do you use his services?
For example:
I save and ensure I have enough Township $ for 10 days for his service. I use him to make certain I have enough items for my plane and after that I buy ore for ingots. (I never sell my ingots to the mafia guy, they are for levelling up factories and trains only.)
When the silver pendants become available, I buy those from Raja and sell them to the mafia guy. Pendants only, no ingots.
So, how do you use Raja?

Lawyers on the Web
You can learn from science fiction.
Fellow nerds out there already know this – or at least believe this – and I have a concrete example for you today.
The Los Angeles Times the other day ran a story about a local lawyer who wrote an article critical of something called Confederate History Month and then got hit with personal attacks on the Internet by people who had learned all sorts of things about her on that same Internet.
The Internet waters are dangerous. There are sharks out there.
Nerd that I am, the first thing that popped into my mind was Ender's Game.
This is a novel by Orson Scott Card that I'm not going to tell you much about because it's really wonderful and I don't want to give away the surprises. But one of the best parts about it is the interesting use of a futuristic form of the Internet.
A couple of the characters create fictional identities to debate public policy. They mold politics by, essentially, arguing with themselves and it works, in part, because no one knows who these people are.
It's kind of hard to launch a personal attack against someone who doesn't exist. You're stuck dealing with the actual issues.
So using a secret identity on the Internet is a good way to get those controversial opinions out while avoiding the personal attack problem.
In fact, I'd like to now propose a constitutional amendment requiring that all candidates for president, vice-president, and Congress be completely anonymous so that all we have to go on in voting is what they have to say. Think how much more pleasant campaign season would be.
(OK, I know the problem with that is that we won't know if the candidates are doing the actual writing, but is that really so different from what we get now? Maybe the actual writers will run for office if they don't have to look good.)
But I digress. What I really wanted to talk about is all that personal information – everything from court records to really embarrassing party pictures – on the Internet.
First off, shouldn't bar associations be banning lawyers from the Internet?
Think about it. If a lawyer makes any kind of claim about being wonderful or winning cases, ethics police go nuts. But you don't have to tout yourself in an ad any more. Just get yourself noticed somehow on the Internet and then let all those people using search engines go crazy finding all those nice things you've happened to say about yourself on MySpace and Facebook.
Stuff you've gotten your fictitious friends to say about you will turn up in those searches. So will those sponsored law journal supplements that look like best lawyer surveys but really aren't.
Bar associations need to ban all that stuff.
And what should lawyers do?
Write bland opinion pieces after saying nice things about themselves on MySpace and Facebook and get fictitious friends to do the same.
All that Internet personal intrusion can work for you.
OVERHEARD IN A COURT CLERK'S OFFICE: "If it's a same sex marriage, is it the same paper?"
The person on the other side of the counter didn't seem fazed by this, but I thought it was a fascinating question. After all, same-sex marriages (at least today) aren't legal in California, so are same-sex divorces?
Should divorce laws apply to same-sex couples if marriage laws don't?
If you're against gay marriage, shouldn't you be in favor of gay divorce?
If you're for gay marriage, shouldn't you be against gay divorce?
I see fascinating litigation in the future.

text: Scott9 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I stumbled onto this forum while researching my 68 Jeepster Commando rebuild. What a great bunch of folks, thanks! I currently have a 225 v6, running good, but stock. I've built and added bumpers, winch, rock sliders etc. so with all that and tools its gained a bit. Also running 33" tires, 4:56 gears with a SM 465 and Dana 20. My dilemma is should I rebuild the 225 (which is my first inclination) or try to find an EF 231? So far my plans for either one would be a stock rebuild but with Comp 252H cam, Offy dual plane intake with EFI and dual exhaust. I want to stick with either the 225 or 231 because I want to just drop one in, and I've been working on this for long enough. I would like more low and mid range power. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Scott Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I realized, after receiving a message from a relative out of town, that I had asked for prayers for Zachary a few weeks ago when he was in the midst of an unknown rash, etc… but then I didn't bother informing the internet of what has happened since.
Z. was officially diagnosed with an allergic reaction probably to penicillin. That was by the dermatologist. That was fine… well, not fine, fine, but at least we knew what was happening.
But… the pediatrician was still not convinced it was totally an allergic reaction. And to be honest, after watching the rashes over a few days it definitely looked like there was more stuff going on. Like, the rashes that he had, the one on his face and the one on his body and the other one on his butt, were all different.
We never really have figured out what happened on his face. He did have a staph infection concentrated around his nose, but I don't know if those were related. We didn't test anything else.
His allergy rash is pretty much all cleared up. Whatever was on his face is mostly gone as well. His nose is still a little raw. Actually it's double raw now because he was trying to crawl out of the garden box and nose dived onto the bricks. And his yeast infection is much better, but still hanging around.
And the ear infection that was starting has all but cleared so we didn't give him the second antibiotic. Didn't want to have him react to that one too while he was still getting over the first.
So, that's him in a nutshell. Much better. Thank you all so much who prayed!
In a related vein, I've had a few hints dropped that I should be changing pediatricians because she "wasn't able to diagnose the allergic reaction…"
How to say this? It seems to be one of those things where you really had to be there to see the progression of things. I'm not really going to get onto a huge "defend my pediatrician" soapbox here, but I do want to say I've known this doctor for over 20 years. You can't build a relationship like that over night. There have been things in the past which have made me realize how important it is to have someone who knows you and your family for that length of time and could vouch for you if need be. That's not something I take lightly, and that's not something I'll ever be quick to throw away.
Could she have maybe suggested allergic reaction before two Wednesdays ago (when the rash really did look allergic)? Yes. Did she? No. Did she have her reasons? Yes. Did I talk to her about it? Yes. Multiple times. Did she miss a diagnosis? I don't know.
Are others able to have their opinion on whether or not I should keep this doctor? Absolutely. Do I have to listen? I've noted the concerns and I do thank everyone who has voiced them. I do understand that you care about our family and you only want what's best. So do I.
Something a bit more positive
Well, lets move on shall we?
Katherine moved upstairs. Like all the way to the 3rd floor. She likes to refer to it as her "attic room" or "tower room"… basically think "Princess Room".
Other than falling off the bed the first night and having that room be on the chillier side, she seems to be LOVING it! She hasn't chosen to have her "nap" down in the living room since she moved up there.
I think it's a good thing for her. She seems to need her own space. I have nothing against the kids sharing a room, even a boy/girl sharing, but she needs to have a space to unwind all by herself.
If you're going to allow your kids to "help" with the laundry, you should probably keep an eye on them.
Or else…
The pile of wet, dirty rags may end up in the dryer (not washed).
Tha half full basket of clean laundry that was waiting to be brought upstairs may end up in the washer (again).
Double the amount of soap may be used.
I guess it's good that Kat. has figured out how to make sure the load level is set to "Super" and "Cold" so that way at least we won't end up totally killing the washer by overloading… Or the clothes by hot water/colors running…
Photo class: Getting stuff printed..
This class (called Embrace Your Phone) popped up in my FB feed a few weeks ago and on a whim I decided I would join (it's free!). It started Monday, but she's still taking sign ups I think. It's a short class, but basically so far deals with getting the pictures off your phone, organized (and purged), and eventually printed.
So far I've managed to get rid of about 300 pictures (working from about 1000, taken over the course of 3+ months) that I would never have printed and basically are either really bad or just pointless.
Anyways, getting pictures printed has been one of my yearly goals for a few years now (failed every time). Ideally I'd like to do a photo book a year. So, if this sounds like something you'd be interested in, it's been super helpful for me. 🙂
Z's 1st Birthday
In the midst of all the doctors visits last week Zachary celebrated his first birthday!
He was only semi-interested in the cake with a candle. And he only halfheartedly chewed on the non-frosting end of said candle when we put the cake in front of him. But he sure did enjoy that cake straight up!
We had just a little family party with dinner and cake and that turned out to be enough for me. I think I was just so exhausted by that point in the week.
Shared this last year I'm sure.. This is Z within an hour after he was born. (I'd share the ones of me holding him, but…. they aren't quite internet-appropriate… and I can't find them on my computer… so 🙂 )
And just realized this post is over 1000 words (longer than I normally aim for)… and it's after 2:00PM and I need to get my dinner going, like, now. So with that I'm fudging out my last "take". More quick takes at Kelly's!

25 Things That Are Only Normal to Miamians
As a Miamian, your definition of normal is definitely not, well, normal. These 25 things prove why this city is simultaneously the best and weirdest place in the world.
1. Oh, hi there. (Psst: We don't shake. We always say hello with a kiss on the cheek.)
2. Wanna do brunch at 10 a.m.? See you at 10:45.
3. But at 3:05 p.m., everything stops. It's cafecito time (aka Miami's official coffee break).
4. It's dropping below 70°F? We're pulling out the Uggs.
5. And the scarves, gloves, winter hats and puffy down coats, of course.
6. Sweater weather? We go bathing-suit shopping in December.
7. Which means falling in love with an air conditioner is not beyond our realm.
8. Some places have snow days; we have hurricane days.
9. Riding a Jet Ski isn't an adventure sport—it's just how you swim.
10. We got our boater's license before our driver's license. Sweet 14!
11. Turn signals are meant to be seen, not used.
12. Hold on. Cars are supposed to stop for pedestrians? Huh.
13. But we always brake for alligators.
14. And if one's in your backyard, you know to run in a zigzag.
15. South Beach Diet...until we come face-to-face with a Knaus Berry Farm cinnamon bun.
16. Or a Cubano at Versailles.
17. There are limes. And then there are key limes. Totally different.
18. And don't even get us started on oranges.
19. We complain about how expensive everything is and then drop $16 on a Fontainebleau strawberry mojito like it's nothing.
20. We've got friends in high places. No, really—all of our friends live in condos.
21. The sun might set, but it's still insanely hot outside. Shorts in a club? Totally acceptable.
22. So are sandals. Everywhere.
23. And hiding your phone under a towel is just basic AppleCare.
24. Pitbull and Flo Rida are national treasures.
25. Our brains know that Tallahassee is the capital, but our hearts (and Will Smith) know Miami is where it's at.

What might we see in 2014? Future of vaping industry..
Posted by Silas Boyd on 9th Mar 2014
Even Forbes magazine is on board.
They can already see the pressure is on, with a seemingly limitless wave of proposed ordinances that intend to drive electronic cigarettes off the market. As they await regulation and legislation, they cannot help but wonder: will it be a ban in legislative sheep's clothing? What will the impact be?
The year 2014 is definitely going to be a challenging for the e-cig industry and for vapers. The regulation of these products is now a reality – not here in the US, but globally as well. The industry has exploded like nothing I have seen before, which has raised some eyebrows from local, state and federal sectors – as well as immense giant pharma and tobacco companies – all of which stand to lose billions in profits, unless e-cigs are stopped.
2014 will be the year they rally the troops to fight for our right as adults to make use of these products. I expect multiple legal challenges worldwide, as they move forward in our indefatigable hard work to show that the greatest value of e-cigs is this: they permit people to get their nicotine fix without the well-documented harm that comes from smoking tobacco.
My hope is that those in charge of public health will cease mis-interpeting (intentionally or otherwise) the knowledge and science that is available so far. I hope they will recognize that e-cigs are the most promising product in human history when it comes to reducing smoking-related harm. Therefore not only ought to it NOT be banned from the market – it ought to be promoted as a consumer product that will effectively increase the quality of life for millions.

- Read This, Spike That
The Media Weigh In on Wells Fargo Scandal
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Jim Cramer is known for his passionate and even bombastic take on stocks.
It's one of the reasons why the former hedge-fund manager has developed such a wide following of Main Street investors over the past 20 years, as both a TV personality on CNBC and as a founder and columnist of TheStreet.com, the investment website.
Cramer may have an elite pedigree, with degrees from Harvard College and Harvard Law School and a successful stint at a hedge fund he co-founded. But he sounds very blue-collar and plain-spoken when he rants and raves about the hundreds of stocks in his mental inventory.
So one might have expected Cramer to be snorting like a feral bull upon learning that Wells Fargo & Co. (ticker: WFC) was being fined roughly $185 million by the federal government arising from an elaborate scheme by thousands of consumer-bank employees to create roughly two million unauthorized accounts for unaware bank customers. Wells said that it has fired more than 5,000 employees in the past five years tied to this scheme, though the bank hasn't officially admitted wrongdoing.
Instead, Cramer's reaction was far more measured, delivered in the corporate-speak Cramer is famous for usually avoiding.
"This is a sub-optimal situation with a lot of ill-advised decisions," Cramer said CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" last Friday morning.
While Cramer concedes that the situation tarnishes a brand that he thought was "far above" its peers, he told CNBC views that he doesn't think investors should sell the stock because shares will benefit from a likely interest- rate hike by the Federal Reserve.
The Street.com article points out that Cramer's charitable trust owns shares of Wells Fargo. In addition, the Streetcom's ratings team gives the bank a "buy" rating.
But to be fair to Cramer, it's doubtful that his argument not to sell is influenced by that fact. After all, the stock moved down by only 2.4% on Friday – roughly the same as the broader stock market on the whole – so it's not like he's trying to talk up a stock that's severely lost value in his portfolio. Cramer could have sold the Wells position on Friday for just a little less what it was trading for before the scandal hit late Thursday. He could do the same tomorrow.
Rather, Cramer's biggest sin may be that he's a victim of classic Wall Street complacency. His measured take on the stock going forward is emblematic of the mindset of many financial professionals who think that well-capitalized banks like Wells Fargo can weather scandals that only cost a few hundred million dollars – chump change by Wall Street standards. Indeed, they may be right in the end. Thus far, Mr. Market hasn't punished the stock severely.
Tied in with that thinking is a belief that most bank customers aren't likely to pull their accounts from Wells Fargo. When it comes to moving money around, inertia reigns, at least that's what the optimists are thinking. And perhaps many customers will accept the bank's assurances that it's committed to winning back their trust.
What's missing from this thinking is the moral outrage that should follow news that millions of Americans were defrauded by their consumer bank.
No one would have been surprised to have heard Cramer screaming from the rafters on this one.
Then there's the concern that the latest news is simply the beginning of deeper problems that could put further pressure on the stock.
Late last week, Dick Bove, the iconoclastic bank analyst with Rafferty Capital Markets, was outraged by the news out of Washington. He sharply criticized Wells Fargo, giving it the only "sell" rating in his 35-bank coverage universe.
"There is no business in the world that can treat its customers badly and continue to expect to grow," he said.
In a piece for CNN's Website, columnist Douglas Rushkoff writes that he's "finding it hard to take comfort in the fact that more than 5,300 employees have just been fired for engaging in the practice. 5,300 employees? That's not a few bad actors, but an indication of the systemic, institutionalized extraction that has been guiding banking for the past several decades, if not longer."
He adds that the "real driving force here are incentives, the incentives given to employees to open new credit card accounts, no matter the impact on customers, as well as the incentives given to the banks themselves to further financialize our economy, no matter the impact on our lives and world."
In a similar vein, Nicole Gelinas, contributing editor to the Manhattan Institute's City Journal, writes in a special column for the New York Post that "If five or 10 or 50 random employees came up with a scheme to defraud their employer by opening false accounts, it would be hard to blame the bank: The bank would be a victim of its workers. But 5,300 workers — and more than 2 million accounts?"
She adds: ""This is systemic, pervasive behavior — including behavior that rises to the level of criminal fraud, real-property theft (by taking money from a legitimate account without permission) and identity theft, though the government oddly glosses over these crimes."
So who's right, complacent Cramer and the other Wall Street optimists or the those who see this as a stain on the bank that far exceeds the initial fine? Stay tuned.

Random Acts of Kindness
We've all heard stories about Random Acts of Kindness, be it opening a door for someone, smiling at at stranger you passed on the street, or buying a coffee for the next person in line at the drive through. We can all find ways to show kindness to strangers.
I was thinking about this recently when I joined a facebook page that was set up to honour a woman who died of cancer. Her name was Nicole, it would have been her 36th birthday this July. To celebrate her birthday week her mother set up the page in the hopes that people would preform Random Acts of Kindness, and then think about Nicole. People then would write about what they did and how it changed their day. I think because I too will turn 36 this year (yikes!) I was really touched by this sentiment. Nicole's mother knew Nicole saw a lot of suffering in the world and felt that people had become detached from each other, she wanted to set up something to promote RAK, but sadly she passed away before she could do it.
While thinking about kind deeds I came across another web site The Great Kindness Challenge this is one day, August 14 2010, when people will perform as many acts of kindness as they can! What an idea! The website and idea is really focused on things children can do, there is a check list you can download with 100 idea's that are simple to do.
Another website I found was The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation! This site promotes the benefits of kindness. In addition to being on the receiving end of kindness, just performing them can improve your physical and psychological health. Immune benefits, reduced stress and increased happiness show that good deeds can be good for you!
The site lists these special days as well;
Pay It Forward Day 2010: April 29 www.payitforwardday.com
World Kindness Day 2010: November 13 ~ World Kindness Week 2010: November 8-14
Random Acts of Kindness Week 2011: February 14-20
Some of my favourite quotes on Kindness;
"Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blink can see" ~ Mark Twain
"Forget injuries, never forget kindness" ~ Confucius
"Spread love everywhere you go; First of all in your own house…let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in our eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness."
~ Mother Teresa
"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around "~ Leo R. Buscaglia
"This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, own own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness." ~ Dalai Lama

Fainjin and I were walking along the street when I spotted some money on the ground.
"Quick, Fainjin, pick it up!" I urged. "You can keep that."
He regarded "his" find with awe. "Wow! Twenty dollars!"
"Um," I grinned as he held up the little silver coin, "no, twenty cents."
"Cents! Cool! That's my first cents, eh Mum?"
He was just so happy to have a little extra money for his piggy bank. He held it safe and warm in his hand for the rest of the afternoon until we got home.

Next time you clean your bathroom, make sure you aren't left with that niggling feeling that you forgot something!
1. Toilet seat fixings
I'm sure I don't need to tell you what variety of uninvited guests could be making themselves at home in the space between your toilet seat and base. Once every month or so, it's a good idea to unscrew your toilet seat and soak it in a bath of diluted bleach.
2. Under the bowl
For reasons known only to toilet designers, there's often little indentations under your toilet bowl that are perfect collectors of dust and grime. Make sure you don't leave these spaces out of your regular cleaning routine.
3. Shower door seals
You might not even realise that the plastic parts of your shower door or screen are easily removable. Just slide them off and give them a long bath in diluted bleach. Or spray with your favourite product (I recommend Astonish Mould and Mildew Remover) and wipe.
4. Tops of tiles
If you have a half tiled wall, the little ledge where your tiles end is a perfect place for dust to collect. A quick wipe round with a damp will put you back on track for your Loo of the Year Award. 🏅
5. Shower drains
The contraption that carries your shower water away sees a fair amount of action! Don't forget to give it a good clean. Lift the (usually silver) disc first, then wiggle and release the small plastic cup located in the recess of the shower tray. You'll be surprised how quickly hair and gunge collect here. Use an old toothbrush to remove any buildup. The silver disc can be taken apart for cleaning. Remove the screw (careful not to drop it down the sink!) and give the underside a brush too. Tip: Keep a cheap phillips head screwdriver in your bathroom to make this easier.
6. Shower tracks
The part of the shower that allows the doors to slide open and closed will start to get pretty gungey. Use a toothbrush or a sonic scrubber to agitate the black stuff out of there.
7. Sink plug hole
Lift it up and see what lurks beneath. You might think your plug is fixed. Try twisting it to remove (remember "righty tighty, lefty loosy"). Soak it and scrub it with all the rest of the forgotten pieces.
8. Behind the tap
You go over it with your cloth but do you REALLY lean over to see what's back there? You might find more than you bargained for. If you need some power to remove crusty deposits, try a mild abrasive like Bon Ami.
9. Extraction Fan
It gets pretty dusty in there. Use the brush tool of your vacuum to suck the dust away from the vent and make sure you give the top a good dusting.
