LEGO The Lord of the Rings Review
The LEGO games have managed to successfully blend some of my favorite franchises with that irresistible LEGO charm. I love these games – I own them all and have 100%-ed more than half of them. So Traveler's Tales finally answered my prayers and made a new homage game with one of my absolute favorites: Lord of the Rings. It was sorely overdue! LEGO The Lord of the Rings combines two of my favorite things: I find the LEGO games consistently fun and entertaining, and I'm a pretty big Lord of the Rings nerd! And I'm pleased to say that they may have crafted their best work to date!
We all know the LEGO formula by this point. You re-enact some of the more crucial moments from the films, all from the perspectives of the various heroes. The core gameplay: destroying everything you possibly can, fending off the bad guys and battling bosses, solving platforming logic puzzles, all the while collecting as many studs as possible, remains essentially unchanged. "Free Play" mode allows you to replay each level with an entire team at your disposal to find all the hidden collectibles and, of course, gathering more studs to buy new characters and cheats, all with a wonderful Lord of the Rings coat-of-paint. There is a lot hidden in this game – unlocking and finding all the secrets will be a major investment this time around.
But Traveler's Tales have added a few things to the formula. LEGO LotR doesn't have a proper central hub like the infamous Mos Eisley cantina in LEGO Star Wars. Instead, there are short areas that connect the levels together over the course of the journey. It gives you a great sense of the length of the quest. Going back is simple thanks to an easy fast travel map.
I like the way that finding hidden mithril (which you also get upon completing levels and attaining "True Adventurer" status) is how you unlock the cheats this time around. Raw mithril can be spent at the blacksmith who will then make you special weapons. For example, the mithril boxing gloves allow any character to pull objects with orange handles. This is something normally reserved for only extra-strong characters. There are also side quests – a novel inclusion. Some people might want you to replay a level just so you can find something they had lost. Others might want you to make something for them. It's clever, but I honestly wouldn't go back to look for these until after beating the main story and unlocking plenty of extra characters first.
Each level makes excellent use of the characters at your disposal and their individual talents. These talents are often necessary to solve puzzles or find hidden collectibles. The locations from the films are wonderfully realized and meticulously recreated. The narrative follows the main points of the story religiously, but sadly you're given an abridged version. Die-hards of both the Peter Jackson films as well as Tolkien's books will be constantly thinking about the order the lines come in. Let me put it this way, when I stopped playing the game, I immediately wanted to watch the movies!
Short aside here…humor me. People who didn't read the books but saw the (still awesome) Peter Jackson movies often fail to realize that Frodo isn't the real hero of the tale… Sam is. Mind you, that's just my humble opinion. I wonder if the writers thought so as well, because Sam is awesome! He can do all kinds of fun stuff: start fires with his tinderbox, make plants grow from soil patches, and even dig with his spade. Most characters only have one talent, two at the most, so Sam really stands out. I, for one, am grateful.
The level design is some of the best I've seen from these games. Take the very first level as an example. Frodo, Sam, Mary and Pippin are fleeing the Shire and have to sneak past the Black Rider – who is hunting them – to make it to Bree where Gandalf is waiting for them. In the LEGO LotR version, it's a mix of platforming and stealth rather than action to get past the Nazgul. There are simple puzzles to solve as well, all designed around distracting the Black Rider so the party can slip past. The end of the level culminates with a mad scramble to Buckleberry Ferry, which unfolds with the player running towards the screen and dodging obstacles. It was a wonderful take on a very short scene from the movie, but at the same time managed to convey the terror of the Black Riders and exhilaration of the flight. All of this combined creates an amazing sense of oppressive atmosphere and heightened tension, which I found surprisingly effective.
The puzzles are basically what we've grown used to with the previous games. Relatively simple directional puzzles or collections are the most common. It's either that or bashing everything in sight to un-earth the pieces that you need to build something to be able to advance to the next area. It's Lord of the Rings, so many of the scenes are taken straight from movie. It's actually quite interesting to see their interpretations in LEGO form. I agreed with most all of them, and thought "That's how I would have done it too!" However, fair warning: some of the levels feature simple puzzles that are then repeated unnecessarily. We get it, okay? Doing something that is elementary more than twice just feels like padding.
There are some glitch issues, especially in free play. Stories of the computer picking the wrong character to join the team so you can't advance because you don't have the right tools are not uncommon. I encountered one where the game didn't advance me after I had completed a puzzle. I actually looked it up on YouTube and literally said aloud: "That didn't happen when I did it!" Sure enough, when I reloaded, it worked the second time. Frustration abounds, and you really lose your flow with the game.
Another issue is that there is a disconnect with the source material. LEGO LotR is the second LEGO game to now have spoken dialogue. The first was LEGO Batman 2, and the reason that worked was because it was an original script. LEGO LotR has lines straight from the movie. Here, it's more of a distraction than anything, especially when the stern dialogue and tear-wrenching moments from the films are redone with little plastic people… it's almost like the LEGO cuteness is mocking the seriousness of the quest. In fact, I'd really love to see Lord of the Rings given the same treatment that the early games got: the silent but cute treatment, all done with expressions and subtle humor. I'm curious how that would turn out, and if I would have been as annoyed by it.
From a graphical standpoint, LEGO LotR is the most impressive LEGO game to date. The dynamic lighting is the best I've seen in these games. The weather effects are well done as well. One could argue that having beautiful backgrounds interrupted by the blocky LEGO boulders and plants is distracting, I like it simply because it differentiates what is destructible and what isn't.
In the end, LEGO The Lord of the Rings is fantastic – very possibly one of the best LEGO games made to date. The level design is ingenious and unique despite using the same tried and true techniques we've seen before. I like how different situations call for unique strategies. I also appreciated the risk taken since there is no central hub. At first I wasn't sure about it, but using an interconnected series of short areas between the levels that take you all the way from Hobbiton in the Shire to the darkest depths of Mordor, I found to be a wise choice. You really get a feel for the "quest." I was afraid after LEGO Harry Potter and LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean that the formula was starting to get stale. Traveler's Tales has improved the series with the last two entries. If you are a fan of either the LEGO games or The Lord of the Rings, this is one worth playing!

Rutherford B. Hayes: Life in Brief
The policies of Rutherford B. Hayes, America's nineteenth President, began to heal the nation after the ravages of the Civil War. He was well suited to the task, having earned a steadfast reputation for integrity throughout his career as a soldier and a statesman. Upstanding, moral, and honest, Hayes was elected after the most lengthy, bitterly disputed, and corrupt presidential election in history.
Hayes's father ran a successful farm and whiskey distillery in Ohio but died ten weeks before Rutherford was born. Raised by his single mother, Rud developed a very close relationship with his brilliant sister, Fanny Hayes, who encouraged him to achieve the prominent career denied to her because she was a woman. With the help of his wealthy uncle, Sardis Birchard, Hayes went to Harvard Law School and then made a name for himself as a successful criminal defense lawyer in Cincinnati. There he married Lucy Ware Webb. Lucy advocated temperance and abolition, and was a strong Methodist who placed more emphasis on good works than on being "born again." Without nagging, she influenced her husband. After marriage he became a stronger antislavery advocate and a teetotaler following his move to the White House, and he regularly attended religious services with Lucy, though he never joined a church.
Patriot of the Union
When the Civil War broke out, Hayes was already nearly forty-years old and the father of three with a fourth on the way. Nevertheless, he was one of the first three-year volunteers, stating that he would rather die in the conflict than live having done nothing for the Union. Using his political connections, Hayes was appointed a major in the 23rd Ohio Volunteers. An officer with no military experience, he learned quickly, worked hard, and with his "intense and ferocious" demeanor on the battlefield gained the respect of the enlisted men and his superiors. At the Battle of Opequon Creek, for example, Hayes led the charge through a morass that turned the tide of battle. Wounded five times in the war, Hayes kept leading his men into battle, and by the end of the conflict he was a brigadier general, and later breveted major general for "gallant and distinguished services."While campaigning in the Shenandoah Valley in 1864 he was nominated in Cincinnati for the U.S. House of Representatives. Hayes refused to return to take to the stump, stating that "an officer fit for duty who at this crisis would abandon his post to electioneer for a seat in Congress ought to be scalped." That statement was worth all the speeches he could have made. Hayes was elected and the war was over before the first session of his Congress met on in December 1865.
Road to the White House
After the Civil War, Hayes served as member of the U.S. House of Representatives (1865-1867) and then as governor of Ohio (1868-1872, 1876-1877). By 1876, Republicans recognized that the scrupulous Hayes—a war hero from a populous swing state and a candidate acceptable to the major factions in the Republican party - was presidential material. "Availability" secured Hayes the nomination, but he faced a tough campaign. The nation was in the midst of an economic depression, the Grant administration was tarnished by scandals, and Democratic opponent Samuel J. Tilden of New York was a superb political organizer with a reform reputation. On Election Day, Tilden rolled up a plurality of 250,000 votes, but the vote in three southern states was close enough for both Republicans and Democrats to claim them and with those states the presidency. To decide who carried those states, Congress set up a special commission which awarded the disputed electoral college votes to Hayes, making him the winner. Outraged and frustrated, Democrats dubbed Hayes "Rutherfraud" and "His Fraudulency."
The Hayes Presidency
Hayes's inaugural address was conciliatory in tone and addressed specific problems. To alleviate hard times, he backed existing legislation that called for the nation's return to the gold standard in 1879. To eliminate political corruption, he advocated a nonpartisan reformed civil service, observing that "he serves his party best who serves his country best." To conciliate the South, Hayes said it should have local self government, but that those governments must obey the entire Constitution, including the Reconstruction amendments. Perhaps because Hayes, along with his comrade in arms William McKinley, had more combat experience than other Presidents, he wished to arbitrate disputes with other nations. He also congratulated the American people for the peaceful resolution of the recent disputed election.
As President, Hayes sought to implement his inaugural address. He had supported radical Reconstruction legislation which aimed to secure the rights of black citizens, but by 1877, Hayes believed that military occupation had bred hatred among southerners and had prevented the nation from healing itself in the aftermath of war. Actually, Reconstruction was virtually over when Hayes took office in March 1877, with federal troops protecting Republican governments only in New Orleans, Louisiana, and Columbia, South Carolina. It ended completely when, within two months of his inauguration, Hayes ordered those federal troops to their barracks, but only after Louisiana and South Carolina authorities pledged to respect the civil and voting rights of blacks. These promises were soon broken and the white supremacist Democratic Party asserted total dominance of the South. By the 1890s, the Democratic hold on the South resulted in a complete denial of voting rights for blacks until the 1960s.
Hayes was a patient and a gradual reformer. He feared that sweeping changes were often not lasting and was satisfied with smaller incremental gains. He had great faith in education as the keys to prosperity and harmonious relations among diverse racial and ethnic groups. He did not attempt to reform the entire civil service, but concentrated on one major office, demonstrating that open competitive examinations did, in fact, reap better workers. He did not attack all spoils-minded senators but only the imperious and obnoxious Roscoe Conkling of New York. The death of Abraham Lincoln, the impeachment of Andrew Johnson, and the failures of Ulysses S. Grant had left the presidency in a weakened state. Hayes helped to restore prestige to the office by defeating Conkling and the idea of "senatorial courtesy," which claimed for senators the right to appoint civil servants in their states. He also defeated an attempt by the Democratic-controlled Congress to force him to accept unwanted legislation by attaching amendments - riders—to necessary appropriations bills. By the time Hayes left office, senators could suggest but not dictate the appointment of officers, nor was the President's veto power destroyed. Hayes helped restore prestige to the presidency, heal the wounds left by the Civil War, and strengthen the Republican party sufficiently to win the election of 1880.
In his very active retirement Hayes continued to struggle for equal educational opportunities for all children. He also was active in the prison reform movement.

At 2 stories and 500,000 bees, hive discovered in Spring home shocks experts
Beekeepers are working to remove a beehive that's potentially two stories high after it was discovered in the wall of a house in Spring.
Brent Wallace, whose mother owns the property, told bee experts he had someone in to remove the bees 15 years ago but they returned just six months later.
When he finally called someone back to look again on Sunday, it turned out the bees were far from gone and had been pretty busy since 1999.
"We cut out the first 10 feet of hive," said Walter Schumacher from Central Texas Bee Removal. "It's entirely possible there is another 10 feet further up. Hives grow a foot to a foot and a half every year."
That would make it 20 feet high and the largest the bee removers have ever seen.
"I was shocked that it was that big," said Wallace who is preparing to have beekeepers back on Wednesday to knock through an upstairs wall to look for more. "I was impressed that these little, tiny bees had made it, it was an awesome sight."
Wallace said it was important to him that the bees were saved because bee populations have recently been under threat from a mysterious illness known as colony collapse disorder.
And this hive has plenty of bees to rescue.
"There's between 200,000 and 500,000 bees in that hive. So far, we've only removed 50,000," said Schumacher of Central Texas Bee Removal.
Honey bees are not usually considered dangerous but Schumacher said with that number of bees, if they were to start to feel under attack, things could get pretty nasty.
"Bad things can happen with very big bee hives," said Schumacher.
Central Texas Bee Removal is in its third year as a nonprofit organization funded by foundation grants.
They remove bees from houses in Houston for a suggested donation of $175 with the intention of keeping the creatures, vital for food pollination, out of harm's way and preventing people from getting stung at the same time.
Beekeepers come dressed in protective clothing, make an incision in the wall or cavity where the bees have taken hold, then remove the comb. The bees get rehomed on a plot at Texas 59 and I-10.
"It's very similar to a cow," said Schumacher. "If you have a bull that's in a field and no one goes out to take care of him or brush him or anything, he becomes a very dangerous animal, but if you put him in a smaller pen and brush him and look after him, he becomes less dangerous, we do that with bees."
Central Texas Bee Removal currently has two crews operating in Houston and plans to expand to five crews. That would be 10 removal experts in the metro area working to ensure wild bees got rehomed rather than killed.
Beehives will also soon be placed on top of the Omni hotel near Memorial Park. Experts say it's vital they are protected.
"Depending on what government agency you look at, between 42 and 85 percent of our food crops are pollinated by bees, so without honey bees, we wont have a whole lot of food," said Schumacher.
Wallace said he will visit the bees in their new home off highway 59.
"I tried to explain to them that they would be happier in their new home," he joked.

Title 32
775.8 Scoping.§ 775.8 Scoping.
As soon as practicable after the decision to prepare an EIS is made, an early and open process called "scoping" shall be used to determine the scope of issues to be addressed and to identify the significant issues to be analyzed in depth related to the proposed action (40 CFR 1501.7). This process also serves to deemphasize insignificant issues, narrowing the scope of the EIS process accordingly (40 CFR 1500.4(g)). Scoping results in the identification by the proponent of the range of actions, alternatives, and impacts to be considered in the EIS (40 CFR 1508.25). For any action, this scope may depend on the relationship of the proposed action to other existing environmental documentation.

I've haven't really paid attention to ice hockey since the glory days of the Sega Genesis, so I couldn't tell you much about the sport, but NHL 2K9 definitely reflects my taste in music. There's some Pennywise in there, and The Ramones, and hey, Bad Religion and The Offspring! It's like a Crazy Taxi reunion! Perhaps the reason I have trouble getting into sports games is I'm trying to get into the wrong sports, or perhaps I'm reading too much into this soundtrack press release. Does the music match the sport? Hit the jump for the full listing, which might be light on tunes with only fourteen songs, but makes up for it with sheer quality.2K Sports Provides an Adrenaline Filled Soundtrack for NHL® 2K9 Operation Ivy, The Ramones, Mastodon, Bad Religion and more provide just the right feel for the action packed game NEW YORK—(BUSINESS WIRE)—2K Sports, the sports publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), today announced details regarding the soundtrack for NHL 2K9, which was released yesterday. NHL 2K9 features an epic music soundtrack that will blow the roof off any virtual hockey arena with some of the biggest bands and legendary artists in rock such as Bad Religion, Mastodon, NoFX, Pennywise, The Offspring, The Ramones, and many others. It will also be the first time that influential punk band Operation Ivy has ever licensed their music for inclusion in a video game. Below is the full list of tracks in NHL 2K9: Bad Religion — New Dark Ages Genghis Tron — Things Don't Look Good High On Fire — Rumors Of War Inner Circle — Bad Boys Joe Satriani — Crowd Chant Mastodon — Iron Tusk NoFX — Linoleum Operation Ivy — Bankshot Pennywise — Knocked Down Protest The Hero — Goddess Gagged Recliner — Find A Way The Night Marchers — Closed for Inventory The Offspring — Nitro (Youth Energy) The Ramones — Blitzkrieg Bop "For NHL 2K9 we wanted to create an adrenaline-pumping soundtrack that will set the mood for the intensity of hockey," said Tim Rosa, 2K Sports' director of brand and lifestyle marketing. "We have also licensed a few of the more popular hockey stadium songs, so when a player goes to the penalty box after a fight, gamers will hear tracks such as "Bad Boys" from Inner Circle or "Knocked Down" by Pennywise after a big hit, as they do in hockey stadiums across North America. For NHL 2K9 we have licensed a great collection of songs that complement the authenticity and spirit of the game." NHL 2K9 is now available on retail store shelves in North America for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, Wii™ home video game system from Nintendo, and PLAYSTATION®3 and PlayStation®2 computer entertainment systems. A free demo of NHL 2K9 is also available for download on Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION®Network. The demo provides fans an opportunity to relive the excitement of this past season's thrilling Stanley Cup™ Final in a brief three minute period as either the Pittsburgh Penguins or Detroit Red Wings at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. NHL 2K9, rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and older by the ESRB, is now available for Xbox 360, Wii, PLAYSTATION 3 system and PlayStation 2 system.

Carson Clean Team going off road then going away
March 27, 2012
The East Carson Street Clean Team has been sweeping up and disposing of litter and debris on East Carson Street's sidewalks and curbs between 10th and 26th streets, seven days a week since 2008, and all that is about to change.
Effective on Friday, March 30, Ron Goings and DaVar Cutler – better known as the Clean Team - will shift their efforts to other parts of the South Side Flats.
"We have been told by many business owners that they can clean their own sidewalks and do not need paid street cleaning services. However, we wanted the Clean Team to continue during St. Patrick's Day parade week," said Dr. Paul Lorincy, president of the SSLDC Board of Directors. "Now, we are going to give them a chance to do projects on residential streets for the last three months that they are on staff."
"Since the SSLDC will be gone in 90 days, we know it is the last chance for the Clean Team to focus on more lasting, higher impact projects. Some of their upcoming projects this spring will include weeding and caulking brick intersections and curbs and repainting utility poles", said Aaron Sukenik, SSLDC business district manager.
The Clean Team is solely funded by the South Side Local Development Company through corporate support and other earned revenues that will soon end. The Clean Team is not funded by city taxpayer dollars.
The last day of operations for the SSLDC will be June 30, 2012.

Lesson number one in media training is "stay on message."
No one knows that better than California Governor Jerry Brown, and his ability to stay on message may be finally paying off with respect to bringing California's beleaguered budget into balance.
Almost everything Brown has said or done this past year about the budget has been with a focus on finding the right combination of cuts and revenue increases.
Last spring and summer, he demanded and received several billions of dollars in painful cuts from the legislature to public education, welfare, and social services programs.
Liberals winced and conservatives rejoiced, but most of all Brown established credentials with moderates.
Using the powers of his office, Brown strengthened his message by recalling thousands of cell phones and selling off state cars as surplus property.
These symbolic changes may not have made much of a dent with the state's budget, but they scored points with the public.
With state revenues failing to meet unrealistic projections, Brown next fulfilled his promise to cut spending further in an effort to keep the budget in line.
The public may not like it, but people get the point: no more fudging on the numbers.
Now, all of Brown's efforts may be about to generate some reward.
The latest Public Policy Institute of California poll shows that the public is ready to commit to Brown's statewide ballot measure asking for higher taxes--this in spite of a lagging economy.
And why?
Because Brown systematically and methodically has brought home the point.
He's earned the public's respect.
If there's a loser in this Odyssey, it's the legislative Republicans. Over and over again, Brown attempted to strike a deal whereby the legislature would ask the voters to consider temporary tax increases last fall when the pain might have been less.
No deal was consummated. It doesn't matter whether Brown or the Republicans were at fault. The bottom line is that the public now sees Brown as the reasonable, thoughtful leader and legislative Republicans as irresponsible budget managers.
Brown's not out of the woods yet.
He has to find a way to keep competing revenue increase propositions off the November ballot, where his proposal will appear. He also has to continue to stay on message; the public can not be reminded enough of the state's desperation and the opportunity for repair.
Moreover, he can't overplay his hand with any unnecessary bravado or finger-pointing.
But in a state known for taxpayer penury, Brown is closer to closing the deal than anyone would have imagined a few months ago.
Meanwhile, as the pivotal election year begins, Brown must bear one thing in mind: stay on message. If he does, there's a better than even chance that Californians will get on board with him.

Over the past seventy-seven years we've served as educator to more than three million students. Affordable, accessible and practical, the LACCD offers opportunity to all. Our doors are wide open for a diverse student population eager for skills, knowledge and upward mobility. LACCD educates almost three times as many Latino students and nearly four times as many African-American students as all of the University of California campuses combined. Eighty percent of LACCD students are from underserved populations.
Community colleges serve adults of all ages, meeting the needs of a society where "lifelong learning" is the rule and multiple careers and continual retraining are the norm. More than half of all LACCD students are older than 25 years of age, and more than a quarter are 35 or older. More than any other California system of higher education, community colleges offer a first - and a second - chance for anyone who wants to succeed.

Zamori 1000 x 700mm White Rectangle Shower Tray - Offset Waste
Product Codes
Product Specification
Panel Kits
If you cannot run your waste under the floor you will have to raise your shower tray to allow room for the pipe work. In such cases you need a shower panel kit. Our kits come complete with male and female acrylic panels, legs and adjustable arms with magnets - so that you can remove the panel easily if you need access for maintenance. All our panels are made from acrylic - so the colour match to your tray is perfect!
90mm Fast Flow Waste
All of our shower wastes are 90mm diameter high flow turbo wastes and are designed to fit our all our trays. This ensures that water flows out at up to 40 litres per minute!! Simply choose if you want a chrome, nickel or white dome (this is the part that you will see every day when showering).
Sealing Strip
We think this part is really important - as this will ensure that you have years of leak free usage of your shower. Our unique 'easyseal' water sealing strip takes minutes to install, we believe all trays should be fitted with a sealing mechanism, to prevent water seeping between the tray and the wall. This is especially true in bathrooms with wooden floors - where floor movement is far more likely.

The Motown Musclecar War is Back
In Detroit, 600 Hp Is The New 500 Hp, And The Musclecar War Is Back On.
In Detroit this year, the North American International Auto Show recorded its 100th anniversary, and the city joined in on the celebration as the domestic automakers hogged the spotlight. General Motors won both the Car and Truck of the Year awards with the Saturn Aura and Chevrolet Silverado-the first time in history that one manufacturer swept both categories. Ford and Chrysler generated plenty of attention with their new hardware as well. It was a very good show for Detroit, in Detroit.
Naturally, the mainstream media focused on Detroit's leading-edge efforts in hybrid, electric, alternative-fuel, and high-mileage vehicles. But the same green technologies that have boosted efficiency and reduced emissions have spun off an additional benefit just for us: lots of horsepower. While only a few years ago, 500 hp in a production vehicle was unthinkable, thanks to all these advances, that number has become the new baseline. Suddenly, a manufacturer is not a serious player in the Motown horsepower wars unless it has a 500hp engine in its lineup. And now, Detroit has raised the bar again, this time all the way up to 600 hp in a single jump.
ChryslerDodge is the first to blow past the 500hp benchmark and officially raise the ante to 600 hp with its new Viper. Formally launched at the Detroit show as an '08 model, the new-and-improved snake goes on sale this summer. The Viper's old truck-based V-10 engine has evolved a bunch since it was introduced in 1992 and even since the previous (third-gen) version was revamped for 2003-the one rated at 500 hp. "It's the same architecture but almost every part has been touched," says SRT Engine Team Supervisor Kraig Courtney, whose group developed the powerplant with engineering input from Ricardo and McLaren Performance Technologies. The displacement is now up to 8.4 liters due to a 1.0mm bore increase, but that's mainly so the V-10 can share the forged pistons and cracked connecting rods of the 6.1 Hemi V-8. The real keys to the big power boost are in the cylinder heads and valvetrain. "We've used the classic racing-engine strategy: make more power with airflow and rpm," Courtney says.
The new cast-aluminum cylinder heads sport CNC-cut combustion chambers, and the valve angle has been reduced from 18 to 12 degrees. Intake-port cross-sectional area has been increased 13 percent for 23 percent greater airflow, while the exhaust ports are up 13 and 10 percent, respectively. A freer-flowing intake manifold uses a pair of 74mm throttle bodies (borrowed from the 4.7L V-8) with fly-by-wire control. There is a revised airbox, a new Motorola CPU that is 10 times faster with 100 times the processing power, and the redesigned roller lifters have been lightened 28 grams each. But easily the trickiest and most intriguing piece in this new engine is the camshaft.
Any rodder who has degreed a camshaft is familiar with lobe separation angle (LSA). A defining factor in engine performance, LSA is the angle between the intake and exhaust lobe centerlines, and on a single-cam engine, it is locked in when the camshaft is manufactured. A wide LSA is generally good for low-end torque, driveability, and emissions, while a narrow LSA means increased overlap and usually better top-end power. When you select a camshaft, you unfortunately have to pick one or the other or settle for a compromise somewhere in the middle-until now, that is. No such compromises are required in the Viper V-10, which uses a novel form of variable valve timing (VVT) Chrysler calls CamInCam.
Conceived by Mechadyne International in Great Britain and developed and manufactured by Mahle, the Viper camshaft can change its LSA on the fly.Actually, the piece is a camshaft within a camshaft, made up of two concentric elements (hence the name CamInCam). The exhaust lobes are fixed upon the outer element, while the inner camshaft carries the intake lobes. As commanded by the engine's ECU, a hydraulic actuator built into the cam sprocket alters the lobe separation angle between the intake and exhaust lobes up to 40 crankshaft degrees, while a sensor at the rear of the camshaft keeps track of it all.
For the Viper's engine calibration, the intake-lobe centerline is fixed at 118 degrees, while the exhaust-lobe centerline varies continuously from 108 to 140 degrees according to speed and load. (So LSA ranges from 113 to 129 camshaft degrees.) But in this case, more low-end torque was not the goal. "That has never really been a problem with the Viper," Courtney says with a smirk. Here, the strategy was to improve low-speed smoothness and emissions without sacrificing top-end breathing. While the long-stroke, odd-firing V-10 has never lacked for torque, it has never been much of a revver. The original 1992 version ran out of wind at only 5,400 rpm. Thanks in part to the CamInCam system, the new Viper redlines at 6,400 rpm and is rated at 600 hp at 6,100 rpm. And from what we hear, the horsepower number is conservative.

General MotorsOnce Chrysler threw down with its 600hp Viper, GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz made it known that Chevrolet already has hardware in the pipe to answer the challenge. "As you all know, it is not our policy to discuss future product programs," Lutz said at the Detroit show. "However, it is very important for Corvette to be the most powerful, most capable, best handling sports car in the United States." Lutz acknowledged that "a recent competitor" had trumped the Corvette Z06's 505 hp. "But the Corvette vehicle-line executive will not take that lying down," he asserted. Very well, then.
The car to which Lutz coyly refers-the "Blue Devil" or "SS" or "LS9" Corvette as it is variously known-might be one of Detroit's best kept/worst kept secrets in years. While GM's communications people refuse to confirm or deny the car's existence, everyone in town seems to know about a new Corvette model due to appear in 2009. The hyper-Vette is shrouded in so many rumors and stories (and at least one hilarious hoax) that the absolute truth is impossible to pin down. But since HOT ROD loves motor gossip as much as anyone, here's what we think we know about it.
The new Corvette mill will actually be smaller in displacement than the Z06's LS7, Chevy's current top engine option. Instead of 7.0 liters, the new engine will displace 6.2 liters. The cylinder bores are smaller to provide greater block rigidity, which will be needed, as they are bolting up a blower to the Gen IV V-8. That's right, here comes the first supercharged production Corvette in Chevrolet history (reportedly). The blower system is said to be similar in layout and configuration to that used in the Northstar V-8 that powers the Cadillac STS-V: a beltdriven Roots blower and air/water intercooler are neatly enclosed in a compact module on top of the engine. It's an elegant setup that in the Caddy is good for a very refined 469 hp and 439 lb-ft of torque from only 4.4 liters. Word on the street is that with 6.2 liters to work with, the new Corvette will be making 650 hairy horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque. Allegedly, Active Fuel Management (GM's version of displacement-on-demand) will be incorporated into the supercharged V-8, but not variable valve timing. We'll see.
The most popular car with the civilians at Cobo Hall this year was far and away the new Camaro convertible. The Detroit News awarded the Hugger Orange ragtop its Readers' Choice honor in a landslide. Both Camaro prototypes in public circulation-the silver coupe that did the HOT ROD Power Tour(r) last year and the convertible as well-are powered by LS2 V-8s rated at 400 hp. However, GM insiders have blabbed to HOT ROD the range of potential powertrain options for the new Chevy ponycar. There will be two V-6 choices and at least three V-8s, including a 550hp version of the supercharged 6.2L V-8 for a high-content Z28 model. Sources indicate there will be two base V-8s, one stick and one automatic, both of them over 400 hp.

FordNow that the '07 Shelby GT500 has officially been rated at 500 hp, Ford has a player in the Detroit muscle game at what has now become the Division II level. It remains to be seen just how and when Ford intends to step up to the new 600hp standard, though there are clues in the concept vehicles it placed on the floor at Cobo Hall in Detroit. The Giugiaro Mustang, previously unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show, uses a 4.6L Modular V-8 with a Ford Racing supercharger and intercooler. With 11 psi of boost, the three-valve engine has been rated at 500 hp.
The Ford Interceptor concept car is a "four-door coupe" aimed squarely at the Chrysler 300 and other rear-drive sports sedans, including BMW. Based on a stretched version of the Mustang S197/D2C platform, the Interceptor is equipped with a six-speed manual gearbox and a 5.0L Ford Cammer V-8, the same basic package found in the Mustang FR500C Grand Am Cup racer. Here the engine gets a revised induction system and recalibration to run on E85 fuel. It is rated at 400 hp. While it seems as though Ford may be lagging behind in the current horsepower wars, it could be the company is just looking a bit farther down the road.
At the Detroit show, Ford unveiled the Lincoln MKR concept vehicle, another four-door sports-luxury sedan, and like the Interceptor, it is based on a stretched Mustang chassis. While the styling and interior drew praise from the Cobo Hall crowd, what is special about the MKR is its engine. Ford calls the approach TwinForce: small displacement and high efficiency for low emissions and fuel consumption and tandem turbochargers and intercooling for big horsepower on demand. While the concept is hardly new, Ford is relying on some new technology to make it truly viable this time around.
The MKR's TwinForce engine is based on the new 3.5L Duratec V-6 used in the Ford Edge, turned from east/west to north/south orientation. Two small, intercooled turbos boost output from 265 to 415 hp, while direct fuel injection permits Ford to maintain the Duratec's original 10.3:1 compression ratio even at relatively high boost levels. Known in the industry as GDI (gasoline direct injection) or SIDI (spark-ignition direct injection), this system delivers fuel straight into the combustion chambers, which allows far more precise metering and controls peak combustion temperatures.
And as GDI/SIDI is developed, the industry is betting this technology will inevitably lead to another important breakthrough: HCCI, or homogeneous charge compression ignition. Imagine a high-speed, high-efficiency gasoline engine with no throttle or ignition system, combustion and output controlled entirely at the injectors, and with the fuel economy of a diesel and the performance and emissions of a gasoline engine. Insiders say this technology could be on the road in the next five to ten years. Back to the immediate future: All three domestic manufacturers have direct-injection systems in production or development for their smaller engines, and it won't be long before that technology is applied to the big V-8s and we see another huge leap in performance. Seven-hundred horsepower, anyone?

The word has been out on bone broth for some time now thanks to countless celebrity endorsements of trendsetters like Gwyneth Paltrow. As an anti-aging expert and weight loss consultant, I can confirm that the magic is true! We always have something to learn from our ancestors and bone broth is no exception.
When we were a younger society living without processed and packaged foods, we had our own farms and livestock. Waste and garbage were virtually non-existent at this time because our forbears thriftily made use of everything. Livestock was food but also, leather, pillow stuffing etc. Today, most people buy parts of animals when they want to eat meat: ribs, breasts, thighs. The whole animal is discarded elsewhere. However, by participating in a faster, 'easier' life we are missing out on the secrets hidden within what was handed to us i.e. those mysteries locked within the perfection of nature as untouched by man. The more I learn about them, the more incredulous I am about how they have been overlooked as non-invasive or harmless solutions/cures for health and beauty!
One of the 'secrets' is bone broth. It is a confirmed anti-aging asset as it helps plump skin, diminish wrinkles and supports nail and hair health. It is full of all kinds of nutrients which help the gut – the seat of all wellness and digestion.
What are the Nutrients in Bone Broth?
► Collagen – The main nutrient in bone broth for skin, hair and nails is collagen! Bone broth is loaded with collagen, a protein found in the connective tissue, cartilage, bone marrow, tendons, ligaments and bones of cows, goats, sheep and other vertebrates. Collagen is what maintains skin elasticity and firmness as well as promotes smooth and supple skin.

This is not a new feature, but a good reminder.
I have an existing FTM2012 file, but I don't want to open FTM2012, select the file, back it up, or restore in FTM2014. I just want to open that FTM2012 file.
In the Plan Workspace, I select File, then Open.
This will open a new window, and we have seen this window before:
I have selected the file, and as I have mentioned before, I include the Version in the Filename. In this specific case, it had not added the build number, it was <filename>2012. When I select that file, it puts the filename into the Open field.
Here is how I created my "FTM2012 Back Up" as I talked about earlier, but it's part of the process of moving from FTM2012 to FTM2014. All I needed to do in put a check mark in the box and the FTM2012 back up was created.
After the new file is created, I am taken to the People Workspace and work can begin.

how do you install the bulbs inside a neff oven? the glass has no screw and isnt just popping off. 7 Answers
- Tried all of the tips below without success. Then went into the garage and took a pair of reinforced rubber gloves (the type that are a fabric material dipped in a rubber-type solution) and it unscrewed without hardly any effort. If you haven't got any, ask a friend or neighbour that messes around with cars or motorbikes and they'll probably have a pair you might borrow.

Michael at eSpares says...
Hi Crilly, We've had a lot of feedback on this issue and have since introduced a light cover removal tool. This should make the job a lot easier, see it here.
- I guess this depends on the oven model. I recently replaced the bulb in our main (Neff) oven. The glass cover unscrewed though it was a little tight to shift at first. The bulb is also a screw fitting and is quite recessed in its housing. It's just possible to get enough grip on the glass to unscrew it. The whole task took a couple of minutes to complete. No tools required.
- If located at the top rear right hand side you should be able to unscrew the lamp cover by turning it anti-clockwise. To prevent damage place a towel into the oven bottom. These can be really stubborn - if no good with the oven cold, try warming it up to say 70 degrees C and allow it to cool a little and while still warm try removing again. Neff's call centre suggest vinegar to help loosen it.
Is this bulb suitable for oven B15P52.3GB, which has pyrolitic cleaning (the temperature rating for the bulb is quoted as 300 C) 3 Answers
- Hi Roger. I have exactly the same Neff pyrolitic oven as you. Today, I removed my bulb (it lasted just over 4 years from when oven new), and it said on it 300 degrees C, so I have just ordered 2 of these bulbs.
- That doesn't answer the question. My replacement bulb has just failed and I suspect that their life is dramatically shortened due to the very high temperatures used in self-cleaning ovens. The answer may be to temporarily remove the bulb before commencing a self-clean programme.
Chris at eSpares says...
This is a 300C rated lamp.
- in our Neff oven, between 3 and 6 months. The first time the bulb went I thought it must have been a faulty bulb, but we've got through 4 bulbs in the past year. I always buy them at least two at a time now.
- They seem to last about two years thats when i last change one.

The light bulb i have removed from my oven looks slimmer than the one in the picture. The diameter of the lamp cover is 3.5 cm / less than 1.5 in. Does anyone know the size of this light bulb please? Thanks

The son of former University of Miami star Nate Webster might be the new Macaulay Culkin.
The 10-year old boy was left by himself in a Tampa airport by his mother last week while she hopped a flight to Fort Lauderdale. Can you say, Home Alone 5: Lost in a Terminal?
The kid's mom, Martine Lifleur, was arrested when she landed from the 90-minute flight and charged with child neglect.
Police are still investigating why she left the boy in the airport, but it seems awfully hard for something like a kid to slip your mind while going through the security check point.
The boy had no money or cell phone and eventually told airport security he was left by his lonesome.
The boy's grandmother, Linda Webster told the Tampa Tribune that Lifleur was supposed bring the child to her house and then catch a ride to the airport, but never showed up.
"It was a bad judgment call by the mother," Webster said. "Why would she leave him at the airport unattended?"
Webster, who used to play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and spent last season with the Denver Broncos, lives in Cincinnati and is currently not signed with an NFL team. The kid is currently in the care of his parents in Florida.

Budget mess could imperil San Diego military
Four San Diego business groups have united to sound the alarm bell that looming defense cuts could cripple the regional economy, where 142,000 people get Pentagon or Veterans Affairs paychecks and another 169,000 jobs are tied to military spending.
Layoff notices could be issued starting in October, as San Diego defense contractors brace for sequestration, a deficit-slashing move that would cut the U.S. military budget by an extra 10 percent starting in January.
Five pieces of the San Diego military picture are considered in jeopardy of significant cuts, in addition to as many as 30,000 defense-related jobs, according to an analysis by the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation, the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, Connect and the San Diego Military Advisory Council.
The list:
• A third aircraft carrier now slated for the region.
• The Navy's Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command, especially its systems center in Point Loma.
• The Fleet Readiness Center Southwest aircraft maintenance facility at North Island Naval Air Station.
• Shipbuilding and repair jobs, if ship numbers decrease.
• The Marine Corps Recruit Depot boot camp near Lindbergh Field.
In recent weeks, the redevelopment of the Navy's downtown Broadway complex has been added to the concerns column. That's in response to Rep. Susan Davis, D-San Diego, who introduced legislation in May that opened the door for the naval regional headquarters to be moved to a military base, instead of being rebuilt on Broadway as the Navy has planned for years.
Local military officials are remaining silent on the group's analysis. The Navy's Southwest regional command declined to comment. A spokesman for the San Diego Marine Corps Recruit Depot referred queries to the Pentagon.
But the business coalition, which calls this effort "Operation San Diego," said other regions are already moving aggressively to protect their assets. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., recently told his constituents that the Marines might have to choose between its San Diego boot camp and one in his home state, for example.
"When you have states like Maryland and Virginia that are sending off letters together to Washington, with all four of their senators and both governors in alignment, and you look at California. … It's just not happening. We realized we need to develop a plan," said Mark Cafferty, president and chief executive of the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation.
"We knew the very first step is generating a stronger presence in D.C. We're an awful long way from there."
The EDC is negotiating to hire the same Washington lobbyist who represented the region during the 2005 round of U.S. military base closures.
The case to be made at the Pentagon focuses on San Diego's importance to national defense strategy.
San Diego Bay is the principal home of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, with air and sea training ranges off the coast that are unsurpassed for close access. The Navy SEAL command is in Coronado, and all SEALs get their initial training on the Silver Strand.
About one-quarter of the Marine Corps is stationed in San Diego County, with an infantry division at Camp Pendleton, an air wing at Miramar Marine Corps Air Station and one of the Corps' two boot camps off Pacific Highway.
With the U.S. military's shift of focus to the Pacific, the overriding sentiment in military circles has been that San Diego is situated well to weather defense cuts — though it will likely share in the 20,000-person reduction already announced for the Marine Corps.
But the Operation San Diego group warns that sequestration will not be like past base closure scenarios, which involved input from Congress. There's no indication yet if defense officials will cut every program by 10 percent, or use the budgetary knife with more discretion.
"Nobody knows the details on how this is going to be executed, except that it's going to be painful," said Larry Blumberg, executive director of the military advisory council.
Sequestration refers to $600 billion in defense cuts scheduled to start next year. It is the legacy of a deal forged last summer in response to partisan division over raising the national debt ceiling.
It calls for $1.2 trillion in automatic cuts over 10 years, split evenly between defense and non-defense spending.
In the first year, the Pentagon budget would reportedly take a $55 billion hit, about a 10 percent reduction.
The cuts were triggered by the failure late last year to reach a comprehensive deal on a deficit reduction plan.
Separately, the Defense Department is already scheduled to slash $492 billion over the coming decade under a budget agreement passed last summer.
The Pentagon has spent the past year warning that sequestration could mean possible cancellation of major weapons programs and the disruption of operations around the world.
National University's Institute for Policy Research in San Diego estimates that if the 10 percent cutback was evenly distributed across the military, San Diego's economy would have lost $3.5 billion in 2011.
"This would severely stagger San Diego's still-struggling economy, and undoubtedly put the region back into recession," said National University economist Kelly Cunningham.
While making San Diego's case to the Defense Department, business officials also want to arouse interest in San Diego, where 25 percent of the region's jobs touch military spending in some way, according to an analysis by the military advisory council.
They worry that the issue isn't being discussed, despite its back-pocket impact locally.
"The chamber and EDC have many of our members who are either defense-related or just local businesses who actually thrive off of the military being here," Cafferty said. "A hit to the military is a hit to them."
Ruben Barrales, president and chief executive of the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, said one place to start is with local elected officials.
"They are key," he said. "We need them to be active in their support for the military in San Diego."
Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Alpine, and a member of the House Armed Services Committee, held a town-hall meeting in San Diego on the proposed defense cuts last week. He called out the media for not covering the issue more and other regional politicians for not speaking up about what he called an "economic bombshell."
Davis, a Democrat also on the House Armed Services Committee, said through her spokesman that sequestration can be avoided if both parties come together.
Political analysts have said it's unlikely a solution will be found before the November election, as neither side wants to appear to concede any ground.
"If sequestration does go forward, San Diego's civic and business leaders have a history of coming together and making a strong case for why our region is a strategic asset for the Department of Defense," Davis said in an emailed statement. "I expect nothing less this time around."
Her press secretary, Aaron Hunter, also said that the Broadway Complex legislation allows the Navy to move its regional headquarters, but doesn't force a move. U-T San Diego Publisher Douglas F. Manchester has a contract with the Navy to redevelop the Broadway parcel into a new Navy administrative building, hotels, offices and shops.
The project so far has been hindered by the poor financial climate and legal challenges.
A possible bright side of the sequestration debate is that prior rounds of military cutbacks have meant a concentration of defense assets in San Diego, such as the 1997 move of the SPAWAR headquarters from the Washington, D.C., area.
While the Operation San Diego coalition says that these cuts may not be like the past, Cafferty added, "If there is going to be consolidation, this is the place to be consolidated to."

and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves:
Rooted in faith, the trio of women emerge. The outline of the central figure forms a cross. We are Presbyterian women, engrafted in Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. It is no longer we who live, but Christ who lives in us.
to nurture our faith through prayer and Bible study,
The right figure holds a book to guide her reading, studying, praying or meditating.
to support the mission of the church worldwide,

to work for justice and peace,
The uplifted arms of the central figure reach out to embrace a just peace for the world. The relationship between the three figures depicts lives of wholeness rather than turmoil.
and to build an inclusive, caring, community of women
The three women have no distinct features and represent all women. The shapes surrounding them express energy, strength and openness.
