I know it's a long shot, but the guy I was working for had just finished his post-doc in the lab of K. Barry Sharpless in La Jolla......since Sharpless won the Nobel, my prof (Chris Nichols) had been eager to get his real research started.....
And i just found out that the person who did the research again the following semester got it to work (had enough yield for verification), and then got it published.....i swear to god, the whole fucking world is against me

I dedicate this work to my loving wife, Tessa, and my beautiful daughter, Labrina, without whom this work would have no meaning.
For those who venture through after I have gone, I leave the following thoughts -
Don't be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience. Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterwards carefully avoid. -
John Keats (1795-1821)
As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls.

NOTE: sorry for the poor vid quality. I forgot to set it to 640x480 res. Harsh, feel free to post your vids. Thanks for hanging with me today. Nice digs btw With all the nice scenery around, you might have trouble studying. 
It was a very nice day for a dyno. Temp was about 65-68 degrees outside and about 74 degrees inside. Unofficial #'s were 270WHP on each run. However, after adjustment for correction, ~250WHP (~13% loss) which is what I was hoping for. After CT i/h/e are installed I'll get another dyno run and post the official #'s

The bad news, I won't be able to go to the Sac Town meet
. I need to test drive that car like a mofo tomorrow and need to re-do paper work (my interest rate has gone up .15% ~$3 /month).
Sorry fellas, but I need to get this shit taken care of once and for all.
Also, the dealer is offering me the 7 yr 100K mile warranty for $1295. Is that a good deal?
