The numbers are just beyond comprehension: nearly 1,400 hp from just 500 ci. No blowers. No alky. Not even a secret pact with the devil to make it all happen. At 2.8 hp per cube, a Pro Stock motor trounces the specific output of even a Nextel Cup engine. To maintain a competitive edge in this cutthroat arena, the dyno rooms wail nonstop. Success is measured in fractions of a pony at an outrageous cost of $38,000 for each additional horsepower found on the dyno. Despite the daunting task of improving upon the pinnacle of domestic V-8 engineering, the team at Reher-Morrison Racing Engines in Arlington, Texas, miraculously extracts another 10-15 hp each year.
Leading that foray is cylinder-head and induction specialist Darin Morgan. Having both a father and a stepfather who built engines for a living, as a kid Darin got a double shot of paternal gearhead influence. He started spending ountless hours on the flowbench at the age of 16 and took a job with Bob Glidden building motors a few years later. He then jumped ship to Larry Morgan's shop and eventually ended up at Reher-Morrison's R&D department. Although his official job duties involve developing cylinder heads, his expertise in overall engine design and theory ranks second to none. So here's his take on some misconceptions running rampant out there, along with some insight on advanced engine theory.
Rod Length
"Most people tend to overgeneralize this issue. It would be more accurate to compare different rod-to-stroke ratios, and from a mathematical stand-point, a couple thousandths of an inch of rod length doesn't really change things a lot in an engine. We've conducted tests for GM on NASCAR engines where we varied rod ratio from 1.48- to 1.85:1. In the test, mean piston speeds were in the 4,500-4,800 feet-per-second range, and we took painstaking measures to minimize variables. The result was zero diff-erence in average power and a zero difference in the shape of the horse-power curves. However, I'm not going to say there's absolutely nothing to rod ratio, and there are some pitfalls of going above and below a certain point. At anything below a 1.55:1 ratio, rod angularity is such that it will increase the side loading of the piston, increase piston rock, and increase skirt load. So while you can cave in skirts on a high-end engine and shorten its life, it won't change the actual power it makes. Above 1.80- or 1.85:1, you can run into an induction lag situation where there's so little piston movement at TDC that you have to advance the cam or decrease the cross-sectional area of your induction package to increase velocity. Where people get into trouble is when they get a magical rod ratio in their head and screw up the entire engine design trying to achieve it. The rod ratio is pretty simple. Take whatever stroke you have, then put the wrist pin as high as you can on the piston without getting into the oil ring. What-ever connects the two is your rod length."
Setting Clearances
"Going too tight on clearances such as piston-to-valve, piston-to-head, piston-to-wall, and main and rod bearings will kill you every time," says Darin. "On the other hand, there are no drawbacks to being too loose except for a little more oil up top as bearing and side clearances increase. That can be counteracted pretty easily so it's not a big issue." If the ring tension, package, or design or cylinder hone is inade-quate, looser clearances will exacerbate oil control problems; in that situation it's not the fault of the clearances. Reher-Morrison's mantra is that loose is good and looser is better. Factory engines have tight clearances because their operating temperature and rpm range are such that components aren't stressed as much, thermally or mechanically, to need extra clearance. Racing engines see much more stress since they start running hard at 6,500 rpm, where stock engines are already out of steam.
Cylinder Wall Finish
Honing is a lot of science and a little bit of black art. One particular hone isn't best for all blocks or ring packages, but smoother isn't necessarily better for a street engine or a race engine. Different types of blocks vary on the Rockwell hardness scale. Harder blocks want a softer finish and softer blocks prefer a harder finish. Of all the mistakes an engine builder can make, going too smooth is more detrimental to power than anything else. There must be a balance of having enough surface area to properly seal the rings, but not so much that it compromises oil retention and ring lubrication. "Too smooth a finish will increase surface area to the point where there's not enough oil retention, and ring wear and frictional power loss will go up significantly," Darin explains. "That's why racing engines usually have a very deep plateau finish to hold a lot of oil with as little surface area as possible for the rings to ride on." The difference between the right and wrong hone on a high-end engine (4,500-5,000 fps mean piston-speed range) is 25-30 hp. The power loss from having the wrong hone isn't as noticeable on a street engine, but ring wear will go up dramatically.
Second Ring Gap
On a typical naturally aspirated motor, the top ring gap should be bigger than the second ring gap. "There are situations where opening up the second gap yields extra power," says Darin. "That's because a lot of blow-by is getting past the first ring, trapping too much gas between the ringland, creating ring flutter, and unseating the second ring." Preventing this condition requires a properly designed piston with an accumu-lation groove, in which case a bigger second ring gap isn't needed. However, nitrous and forced-induction motors can benefit from a bigger second ring gap.
High octane means slow burn, and you should always run the minimum octane level you can get away with. Octane is simply a fuel's resistance to detonation, and a higher-octane fuel must be com-pressed more to burn at the same rate as a lower-octane fuel. Likewise, a faster-burning fuel always makes more power up top. "An engine is tuned to fuel, not the other way around," says Darin. "If you pick up power on race gas, it means your engine combo is more suited to that fuel. Sometimes you can find that magic fuel that burns better for your combination, but it's not one size fits all. When they changed our fuel in Pro Stock, everything about our motors--including combustion chamber design, compression ratio, and cam specs--had to be changed."
Iron VS. Aluminum
When pushed to the extreme, it's pretty safe to say that the only advantage of an aluminum block over an iron block is weight savings. "Keeping all else equal, we take a 30-45hp hit in our aluminum motors compared to our iron motors." The rate of thermal dissipation is higher, but that only accounts for 10 percent of total power loss. "The bigger issue is that cylinder-wall retention is impossible to maintain. With aluminum, the cylinder walls can move around, ring seal is terrible, and leakdown is always worse." However, if a thicker cylinder wall is used in the block, the trade-off wouldn't be as bad and the weight savings could make up for the difference in power. Reher-Morrison compensates for this by putting bigger cams in its aluminum motors and by winding them out a little higher.

"All colors are the friends of their neighbors and the lovers of their opposites." &ndash Marc Chagall
If you're looking for a striking color scheme that will wow your client, or are concerned that a dominant color in your design is going to be overwhelming, the solution's as easy as looking at the opposite side of the color wheel. Complementary colors, when used correctly, liven up a room in a way that's also soothing and pleasing to the eye.
The most striking, colorful and sophisticated designs often incorporate complementary colors, such as blues and oranges, yellows and purples, and greens and reds. Why? Because when the eyes are overwhelmed with one color, both the eye and the brain seek the respite associated with the color's complement. Says Michael Scott, design director for Robb & Stucky Interiors in Scottsdale, Ariz.: "Complementary colors make you feel good! Using them gives you a clean, fresh feeling based on the contrast of color." But the technique must be applied carefully.
"When the complementaries are used at a high level of intensity in nearly equal quantities, [they] can become strident and harsh," writes designer John F. Pile in his book Color in Interior Design. Designer Ashley Phipps agrees in a recent Design Dazzle blog article, "When placed beside each other in equally intense forms, they can almost appear to vibrate."
However, when used with restraint, the effect can be lovely and even soothing. "Each of the hues balances and gives relief from its complementary in some way that seems to offer visual and psychological satisfaction," Pile writes. He recommends using one of the colors in large quantity but at a low intensity, while using its complement in a more intense hue but only as an accent, such as a pale green room with pops of red in the accessories.
Dallas-based Designer Glen Boudreaux agrees with the need for a light hand. "When you look at complementary colors, they're a little more exciting and add a bit more vibrancy to a room, but the intensity of complementary colors can be a bit overdone. So if you go to a medium value, there's still contrast but it's not as intense. When you go to pastels, you can even get a Zen spa-type effect." He warns that complementary colors in their purest, brightest form can remind you of a sports-team logo or a children's space.
If a client is in love with one color and wants it to permeate a design, the best way to make sure the eye isn't overwhelmed is by adding hints of its complementary color. According to Scott, "We all want to refrain from the matchy-matchy pitfall. To avoid this, the use of complementary colors is a sure way to make an exciting, accurate choice." As a cautionary tale, Phipps relates a legend of a Hollywood star who demanded so much purple in her interior that the tan carpet appeared yellow to the beholder, whose eye was so overtaxed by the purple that it sought relief by perceiving the tan as yellow.
A successful complementary color scheme requires a careful balance of daring and moderation, but when done right, the effect can be both tasteful and exciting. Says Scott: "If you're going for drama, using complementary colors is the easiest way to achieve that dramatic effect."

Roll-your-own (RYO, often called rollies, roll-ups or hand-rolled cigarettes) refers to a cigarette made from loose tobacco and rolling papers. Roll-your-own products are sold as a pouch of tobacco for rolling hand-rolled cigarettes, sometimes with the rolling papers provided in the pouch.
Hand-rolled cigarettes also give smokers the ability to roll cigarettes of any size they choose. Like all tobacco products, use can cause various diseases. Roll-your-own cigarettes are also preferred by some smokers because they are cheaper than machine-made cigarettes.

An n × n real symmetric matrix M is positive definite if zTMz > 0 for all non-zero vectors z with real entries (i.e. z ∈ Rn), where zT denotes the transpose of z.
For complex matrices, this definition becomes: a Hermitian matrix is positive definite if z*Mz > 0 for all non-zero complex vectors z, where z* denotes the conjugate transpose of z. The quantity z*Mz is always real because is a Hermitian matrix. For this reason, positive-definite matrices are often defined to be Hermitian matrices satisfying z*Mz > 0. The section Non-Hermitian matrices discusses the consequences of dropping the requirement that M be Hermitian.
|All eigenvalues of are positive. Recall that any Hermitian M, by the spectral theorem, may be regarded as a real diagonal matrix D that has been re-expressed in some new coordinate system (i.e., for some unitary matrix P whose rows are orthonormal eigenvectors of M, forming a basis). So this characterization means that M is positive definite if and only if the diagonal elements of D (the eigenvalues) are all positive. In other words, in the basis consisting of the eigenvectors of M, the action of M is component-wise multiplication with a (fixed) element in Cn with positive entries.
| The sesquilinear form
| M is the Gram matrix of some collection of linearly independent vectors
for some k. That is, M satisfies:
The vectors xi may optionally be restricted to fall in Cn. In other words, M is of the form A*A where A is not necessarily square but must be injective in general.
| All the following matrices have a positive determinant (the Sylvester criterion):
In other words, all of the leading principal minors are positive. For positive semidefinite matrices, all principal minors have to be non-negative. The leading principal minors alone do not imply positive semidefiniteness, as can be seen from the example
| There exists a unique lower triangular matrix , with strictly positive diagonal elements, that allows the factorization of into
For real symmetric matrices, these properties can be simplified by replacing with , and "conjugate transpose" with "transpose."
is a bilinear map such that B(x, y) is always the complex conjugate of B(y, x). Such a function B is called positive definite if B(x, x) > 0 for every nonzero x in V.
for all non-zero (or, equivalently, all non-zero ).
It is called positive-semidefinite if
for all (or ).
It is called negative-semidefinite if
for all (or ).
A matrix M is positive-semidefinite if and only if it arises as the Gram matrix of some set of vectors. In contrast to the positive-definite case, these vectors need not be linearly independent.
For any matrix , the matrix A*A is positive semidefinite, and rank() = rank(A*A). Conversely, any positive semidefinite matrix can be written as M = A*A; this is the Cholesky decomposition.
A Hermitian matrix which is neither positive- nor negative-semidefinite is called indefinite.
A matrix is negative definite if all kth order leading principal minors are negative if k is odd and positive if k is even.
For arbitrary square matrices we write if , i.e. is positive semi-definite. This defines a partial ordering on the set of all square matrices. One can similarly define a strict partial ordering .
|Every positive definite matrix is invertible and its inverse is also positive definite. If then
|If is positive definite and is a real number, then is positive definite. If and are positive definite, then the sum and the products and are also positive definite. If , then is also positive definite.
| M=(m_{ij}) > 0 then the diagonal entries are real and positive. As a consequence . Furthermore
|A matrix is positive definite, if and only if there is a positive definite matrix , called the square root of B, with . One writes . This matrix is unique (but only under the assumption ). If then .
|If then (Here denotes Kronecker product.)
|For matrices write for the entry-wise product of and , i.e. the matrix whose entry is . Then is the Hadamard product of and . If then and if are real matrices, the following inequality, due to Oppenheim, holds:
|Let and Hermitian. If () then ( )
|If are real matrices then
|If is real, then there is a such that where is the identity matrix.
A real matrix M may have the property that xTMx > 0 for all nonzero real vectors x without being symmetric. The matrix
satisfies this property, because for all real vectors such that ,
In general, we have xTMx > 0 for all real nonzero vectors x if and only if the symmetric part, (M + MT) / 2, is positive definite.
The situation for complex matrices may be different, depending on how one generalizes the inequality z*Mz > 0. If z*Mz is real for all complex vectors z, then the matrix M is necessarily Hermitian. So, if we require that z*Mz be real and positive, then M is automatically Hermitian. On the other hand, we have that Re(z*Mz) > 0 for all complex nonzero vectors z if and only if the Hermitian part, (M + M*) / 2, is positive definite.
In summary, the distinguishing feature between the real and complex case is that, a bounded positive operator on a complex Hilbert space is necessarily Hermitian, or self adjoint. The general claim can be argued using the polarization identity. That is no longer true in the real case.
There is no agreement in the literature on the proper definition of positive-definite for non-Hermitian matrices.

The successful entrepreneur Bannatyne shares top billing with Stead, whose own fortunes were frequently in the headlines this year, but for rather different reasons. Aside from their entrepreneurial zeal and fondness for the finer things in life, both sport deep tans from those days lounging around in the south of France. It was Johnny Hornby, however, who rode to Stead's aid. When Rapier went belly up, Hornby issued the familiar cry of: "I'm in."
The fact that JWT's digital executive director Figueira is the spitting image of Moss from The IT Crowd is a gift that we just couldn't ignore. A computer nerd with a detailed knowledge of specialist technical subjects such as electronic engineering, perhaps the similarities are more than skin deep.
The advertising treasure Trott has a career almost as lengthy as that of his doppelgänger Lee, who has spent nearly 60 years treading the boards, most famously as Count Dracula in a string of "Hammer Horror" films. Lee is in the Guinness World Records for having appeared in the most number of films. The GGT and Bainsfair Sharkey Trott founder is an equally prodigious blogger.
The Bolton-born Goodall and the Weatherfield firefighter Kershaw share many virtues other than looks. For instance, on the Coronation Street website, Kershaw is listed as disliking "hiding the truth". As many people will be able to testify, it's a similar story for the departing Fallon planner Goodall, who seems to delight in not "hiding the truth" – particularly on a good night out.
Having a privileged background is a cause for embarrassment these days, and the Harrow-educated VCCP boss has done a good job in hiding his past. What better way to look like a man of the people than try to look like the rough diamond former boxer and ladies' man McCann from Minder?
Both Strallan, a star of Downton Abbey, and Pinnington served their country with distinction – the former as an officer in the First World War and the latter as a psychologist in the Royal Air Force. Maybe Strallan, a gentleman as equally well-bred as "Pinners" (although somewhat duller and weaker chinned), would have followed him into a subsequent post-military career in advertising if it hadn't been for that arm injury.
With a CV that includes launch member of Inside Soap, columnist on Hello! and Woman's Own, host of Daybreak and contestant on Strictly Come Dancing, Arnold's media career is only fractionally less exciting than that of Mindshare Worldwide's global chief executive and equally cheery chap Emery.
Having left CBS Outdoor last year, the former Thames Water and Toyota marketer Moran has recently turned up at Arena Media as the interim commercial director. He's the king of the comebacks. Similar in oh so many ways to the indefatigable Hankey, who has overcome many setbacks over his 20-year darts career, most notably a nasty case of "oche rage" for which he was disciplined. And while Moran made the move from client to agency, "The Count" underwent a similar conversion from the BDO to the PDC. Spooky.
The film director Boyle was quite rightly named the person who many people admired the most in Campaign's A List, for his masterpiece Isles of Wonder opening ceremony for the London Olympic Games. Phillipson, on the other hand, continues to be the chief executive of the Internet Advertising Bureau, where, in 2006, he was named the Digital Business Person of the Year by Revolution magazine.
Last year, Rob Horler was fingered for his likeness to the burger-van owner Epithemiou. And, this time round, following the massive windfall from the sale of Adam & Eve to Omnicom, we figured that there's also a likeness to the filthy-rich, super-smooth suit from "advertising Central Casting", Murphy. Epithemiou has had an equally successful year with the arrival of his own show on Channel 4, having previously won Best Comedy Breakthrough Artist last year. But which creation is the most lifelike?

I know that I'm replying to a 6 month old post but I found a solution to this problem that others may
find helpful.
I have a Samsung NP355E5C (aka '355E') laptop and could find no way to boot with anything but the
internal hard drive.
I was getting rid of Win 8 and installing Win 7 from a DVD, which wasn't happening because you can't
boot from a CD/DVD.
Ok here's the steps I took: (a couple may not have anything to do with anything but a couple are very
important because you can boot with USB or CD/DVD afterward)
Boot computer (turn it on, for those technologically challenged)
Hold or continually tap F2 key to enter BIOS Setup. If you see the Win 7 "Starting Windows" or the Win 8
"spinning circle" you waited too long and will have to try again.
Once inside Setup, under the 'Boot' tab, I set 'Secure Boot' to 'Disabled'.
This will cause an 'OS Selection Mode' to appear beneath 'Secure Boot' that wasn't previously visible.
Change the 'OS Selection Mode' from 'UEFI OS' to 'UEFI and Legacy OS'.
Now go back up to the top listing on this page, 'Boot Device Priority' (still under the 'Boot' tab), which
previously only showed that the internal hard drive was the only bootable device.
Highlight it and press Enter. Note that it will probably still show only the internal hard drive listed.
Don't worry as this only requires an 'Exit Saving Changes' or use the F10 key shortcut for this same action.
Now, during the restart, press F2 again and once again enter the BIOS Setup.
If you go to the 'Boot Device Priority' under the 'Boot' tab, you'll now be able move up or down the devices
that you want to boot first.
(Despite advising to look in here again, when I simply changed the 'OS Selection Mode' to
'UEFI and Legacy OS', it booted from my DVD on the next restart i.e. I didn't have to go in a second time
and set the boot order up or down as desired. It defaulted to my DVD boot.
Under the 'Exit' tab, it will say 'Boot Override' along with the name of your internal hard drive.
So, now it will boot from a USB device or CD/DVD drive.

I recently showed you our fireplace mantel decorated for our nephew's graduation dinner. I know you are going to start thinking the only thing that ever changes around our home is our fireplace mantel. My husband would argue with you. He thinks I'm constantly changing things around.
This may be the last mantel change for awhile. I'm thinking the red, white, and blue may stay through the 4th of July (unless I just can't stand to leave it alone for that long).
God bless our troops.
I'm joining Metamorphosis Monday at Between Naps on the Porch and Tabletop Tuesday at A Stroll Thru Life.
As we Americans enjoy Memorial Day, I hope our celebrations will include remembering those who have paid the ultimate price for our freedom. Thank you so much for coming to see our fireplace mantel again. laurie

The graph below shows the proportion of patients who survived a minimum of five years after initial diagnosis. The survival rates are displayed by stage of disease at initial diagnosis.
Note: These survival rates take into account patients who died of any cause, not just those who died from their cancer. These survival rates are unadjusted and may not account for differences across hospitals in patients' ages, other medical conditions, or other factors that may affect survival.

For more survival statistics, visit the National Cancer Institute.
We are as transparent as possible in providing you clear information to help in your decision. Moffitt's Cancer Registry and Planning departments provided an accurate look at the data. We then compared the data to the United States as reported by the National Cancer Data Base, which is maintained by the American College of Surgeons' Commission on Cancer.
The information above represents data from our pancreatic patients diagnosed over a three-year period (2003-05). The graph shows the proportion of patients who survived a minimum of five years after diagnosis.

It took Brent Jackson five years to plan, build, and unveil this twin-turbocharged '65 Corvette, a car purposely designed to impress any and all who beheld it. The motivation behind the project reaches beyond Jackson's desire to cruise the streets of California with a one-off midyear. Its true purpose is to show off the capabilities of his custom shop, Brent Jackson's Customs (Green Valley, California). The Corvette is a calling card of sorts, as it embodies both the vision behind such creations and the in-house talents needed to make them happen. Jackson pulled out all the stops with this build, and the result is a Corvette like no other.
Building a custom car as a rolling advertisement for your company can be risky. You have to go above and beyond; otherwise the effort is wasted or, worse, counterproductive. In Jackson's case, he was able to tap into his previous area of expertise-the boating industry, where his company specialized in restoring flat-bottom boats and fiberglass. He spent an entire career working with 'glass, and his abilities came in handy with this '65.
"I started to customize each section the way I thought it should look. I also tried to give it a modern appearance," explains Jackson. The shop spent considerable time modifying the body to get it lower on the C4 Corvette chassis that was grafted under the skin. Ultimately, the front nose and rear pan were dropped 2 inches. Once those modifications were made, Jackson also had to modify the rockers and other little parts and pieces so the body looked proper. A custom front chin spoiler was designed and built to help with the lowered look and to channel air into the intercooler (more on that in a moment). Look closely and you'll notice plenty of subtle features, like the flush-mounted glass windows, shaved door handles, opened side vents, and filled cowl vents.
Under the modified '65 Vette body resides the aforementioned C4 chassis, which was acquired through Newman Car Creations. The company sells two kits that will convert '53 through '82 Corvettes to use C4-style suspension systems. The kit Jackson installed includes a five-link IRS rear suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, rack-and-pinion steering, and many other features to bring the '65 up to modern handling standards. Along with the C4 suspension components (all of which fit on the Newman chassis), Jackson upgraded to HAL adjustable shocks, adjustable sway bars, and better bushings. The rearend was also narrowed 3 inches in order to fit the massive Michelin PS2 345/30-19 rear meats. These were mounted on Intro GT 19x11.5-inch wheels, while the front Intro GTs check in at 18x9 and are wrapped in 245/40-18 PS2 rubber.
With the body and chassis squared away, it was time to add some grunt under the hood. For that task Jackson showed up at Nelson Racing Engines (Chatsworth, California), a shop whose reputation for big horsepower and custom looks has made it a popular choice for custom-car builders. Proprietor and mastermind behind the NRE brand, Tom Nelson, prescribed the company's popular NRE-355, from its Daily Driver Series. "I've always loved turbo motors for the visual appeal [and their] massive torque and driveability," says Jackson.
The NRE-355 boasts 800 hp and 790 lb-ft of torque while sipping 91-octane pump gas. Its peak power comes at a mild 6,000 rpm, while the torque is in full swing by 3,900 rpm. The shop started with a Dart block and added a GM steel crankshaft, Callies 4340 forged connecting rods, custom JE pistons, and Brodix Track 1 cylinder heads. Nelson designed the hydraulic roller camshaft to idle smoothly at 800 rpm and have mild street manners-until you lay into the throttle with extreme force. Once the 355ci bullet goes into WOT, the two Turbonetics 60mm turbochargers sing to the tune of 14 psi, and the Vette gets going in a hurry. Nelson tuned the combo for max power and street worthiness using an Electromotive EFI system.

In light of the tragedy in Connecticut, PBS has scheduled Arthur episode 710 "April 9th", on Wednesday, December 19 at 7:00am and 4:00pm. This episode was created post 9/11 to help kids deal with fear after a scary incident, in this case a fire at Lakewood Elementary School.
In addition to the episode on Wednesday, there is a companion guide called "Helping Our Children Feel Safe" available on the Arthur website: http://to.pbs.org/Wjrd1a.
Emergencies can be overwhelming, particularly for young children. Things can change suddenly, and maybe drastically. But even in the most difficult circum- stances, you can find strength and resilience within your family and community.
Understandably, your first priority is keeping your family safe. However, after the event, your comfort and support can significantly help your child and your whole family. There are simple ways you can soothe and reassure one another. Through your routines, you can bring a sense of calm into your lives.
To help adults and children cope with disasters, Sesame Street developed Here for Each Other, a resource that includes tips, ideas, and activities. In these pages, you'll find ways to talk with your child about what happened while remaining hopeful for better things to come. With this information you can create a comfortable and caring environment, no matter where you are, even when you're not surrounded by your own familiar things.
Sesame Street has also posted a number of supporting public service announcements discussing monitoring television viewing, stressful situations and emotions: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8TioFHubWFtJx3KhfYYJJbrvqLTkKCyO
"When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.' To this day, especially in times of 'disaster,' I remember my mother's words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world."
— Mister Rogers

We've mentioned Goodguys Rod & Custom Association in the past, but in case you're new here, we'll give you a quick background: Since 1983, Goodguys has put together a really well-organized series, producing more than 20 shows a year across the country. And while the shows are generally better known for older street rods, they do allow street machines and muscle cars, as long as they are '72 and older. If you don't fit in that category and would still like to show off your ride, you'll be happy to know they also have additional get-togethers, allowing all years, makes, and models.
Something you may be more familiar with is the Goodguys Street Machine of the Year award. Each year at the Columbus, Ohio, venue, big-name builders lobby for the coveted title. Some of the past winners include the Ringbrothers' Razor '69 Camaro, the Roadster Shop C1RS '62 Corvette, and last year's champion, the Scar '67 Camaro built by Lakeside Rods and Rides.
One of the more recent shows happened to be in our own SoCal backyard, and there was no way we were going to miss it. On the weekend of April 1, we ventured south for the 11th Annual Del Mar Nationals at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. If you've never been to the area, plan a trip; the setting, off the coast of San Diego county, is incredible and, yes, the weather is always perfect.
Regardless of what you're into, Goodguys offers something for everyone. For the car-show buff, you'll dig the endless rows of rides. If you're looking to check out the latest parts, you'll appreciate the manufacturers' area, along with the halls filled with various booths, ranging from memorabilia to automotive components. If you're looking for a little more action, then you don't want to miss out on the autocross scene. Bear in mind that the autocross is only at select events, so be sure to check the schedule ahead of time.
Of course, we did it all. We found a car out of the Pacific Northwest to shoot as an upcoming feature, took our '72 Nova for a number of laps through the cones, hung out with old friends, and made some new ones, and we had a great time doing it.

In a medical first, doctors used plastic particles and a 3-D laser printer to create an airway splint to save the life of a baby boy who used to stop breathing nearly every day.
It's the latest advance from the booming field of regenerative medicine, making body parts in the lab.
In the case of Kaiba Gionfriddo, doctors didn't have a moment to spare. Because of a birth defect, the little Ohio boy's airway kept collapsing, causing his breathing to stop and often his heart, too. Doctors in Michigan had been researching artificial airway splints but had not implanted one in a patient yet.
In a single day, they "printed out" 100 tiny tubes, using computer-guided lasers to stack and fuse thin layers of plastic instead of paper and ink to form various shapes and sizes. The next day, with special permission from the Food and Drug Administration, they implanted one of these tubes in Kaiba, the first time this has been done.
Suddenly, a baby that doctors had said would probably not leave the hospital alive could breathe normally for the first time. He was 3 months old when the operation was done last year and is nearly 19 months old now. He is about to have his tracheotomy tube removed; it was placed when he was a couple months old and needed a breathing machine. And he has not had a single breathing crisis since coming home a year ago.

Sales quotas may seem like a good idea until 'sandbagging' starts
Every job has or should have an identified set of objectives, some measurement by which an associate's effectiveness can be gauged to be unacceptable, acceptable or superior.
A Major League Baseball hitter is superior if he hits above a 300 average. A basketball player scoring over 20 points a game is a standout. A winning percentage of less than 50 percent over time will likely cause a coach to find a new job.
In sales, the most common objective is meeting or exceeding quota. But quota setting is an elusive art. Finding the balance that supports company objectives and a salesperson's market opportunity requires knowledge and participation at multiple points by multiple parties.
The company must be in tune with its market growth potential and be able to translate it to various regional and local levels. Sales management must be familiar with its resources and their capabilities. Mismatching opportunity and quota expectation can drive negative behavior or allow excessive rewards.
It's rare that a bottom-up view from the sales organizations equals or exceeds the growth objectives of management. Management wisely stretches the objectives while depending on the forecast of the sales force. It's a check-and-balance system that when properly used can provide the best results for all involved. Every company has marketplace growth targets that require performance or the health of the business may be put in jeopardy.
Rather than take ownership of a challenging goal, some salespeople essentially despair when they receive a quota that they regard as clearly unattainable. They may try to game the sales objective system by sandbagging, a practice whereby a sales person manipulates the forecast or the sales process to artificially improve their attainment for the present or future sales period.

THOUSANDS of punters flocked to Cartmel Races for the course's biggest meeting of the year, spread over three days.
The traditional Bank Holiday Monday event attracted a crowd of 16,000 to watch the seven races.
Jonathan Garratt, Cartmel Racecourse managing director, said the bookies did not fare too badly.
"I think it has been mixed; they have had some favourites going in but I'm sure they have had ups and downs."
Punters successfully backed legendary racer Tony McCoy, who appeared on Monday.
Yesterday, too, proved a rare highlight for racegoers as three Cheltenham Festival horses went on parade for Veterans Day.
Chief Dan George, who is trained just a mile from Cartmel by Jimmy Moffatt, was joined by Mister McGoldrick and Hussard Collonges.
"We have had a lot of people who are on half-term holiday but it's also the day when racing enthusiasts from all over the country come and have their day at Cartmel because the course is slightly less overcrowded," said Mr Garratt.
Meanwhile, a racing steward became the first person to join an exclusive Cartmel 'club'.
Officiating at Saturday's races signalled a landmark for Colin Vickers — it meant he had visited every racecourse in Britain.
Cartmel Racecourse chairman Lord Cavendish presented Mr Vickers with a souvenir badge, which coincided with the launch of an I've Saved The Best Until Last club.
Anyone completing a visit to all Britain's racecourses with a trip to Cartmel will now receive one of the specially-commissioned badges.
Mr Garratt said: "When I came here I was amazed how many people said they had been to every other racecourse before they tasted the unique delights of Cartmel.
"I realised that they were saving the best until last."
THE Bassenthwaite Ospreys have moved home to live in marshes nearer to Bassenthwaite Lake.
After successfully nesting at their treetop summer home at Dodd Wood since 2008, the pair decided it was time for a change and have been gradually building a new nest since returning from their wintering grounds in West Africa.
Fortunately, the new site is visible from the Dodd Wood viewpoint so visitors can still enjoy watching the birds of prey this season.
Ospreys are normally faithful to successful nest sites, so the move was a bit of a shock for staff at the Lake District Osprey Project (LDOP). This is only the second time staff have seen the ospreys change nest in the project's 11-year history.
Nathan Fox of the RSPB's Lake District Osprey Project, said: 'It has been an interesting and exciting start to the season, with the birds deciding to move. We have been working closely with local landowners and farmers to make sure that the birds are fully protected and therefore have a good chance of raising their chicks."
A PAIR of ospreys have returned to their nesting site in the Lake District. The birds are back at Bassenthwaite Lake - 10 years after the first male osprey chose the area for a nesting site.The bird, known as No Ring, was the first to nest in the Lakes for 150 years. Experts say he has returned with the female he paired up with for the first time in 2007.
It is hoped the birds will rear an 11th generation of young after two male chicks were produced last year.
Graeme Prest of the Lake District Osprey Project said: "It is wonderful news that the ospreys have returned for another season and have already mated. With a bit of luck, the female will be laying her eggs soon."
Almost 100 people are part of a volunteer project to provide 24-hour observation on the nest. They also engage with the public about ospreys at the Dodd Wood viewpoint and Whinlatter Visitor Centre.
The public Osprey Viewpoint at Dodd Wood, near Keswick, has been opened and telescopes are being provided to see the birds.
Live images from the nest are also being beamed to a big screen at the nearby Whinlatter visitor centre. The osprey project is managed by a partnership of the Forestry Commission, Lake District National Park Authority and the RSPB.

In late September 1999, Rob and Sue Fearon became the proud owners of a Fawn Beige '62 fuelie. During the search for their special Corvette, they traveled many miles and attended many events. They spent a lot of time reading and listening to those people with experience...all in an effort to make the right choice to find the "perfect Corvette." The car they finally found was different than the others...it wasn't restored-it was an unrestored original. Yet, both Rob and Sue knew within minutes that this was the car they were going to buy. They called it "R Fate."
But the story of this '62 has several twists. The car itself has certainly had more than its 15 minutes of fame. In fact, it has been owned by a series of notable collectors-true Corvette enthusiasts.
The car's first exposure to fame was being featured in the 1976 book Corvette, The Sensuous American, Vol. 1, No. 2 by Michael B. Antonick. At that time the car was owned by Jerry Wadsworth. Jerry had bought the car from the second owner and had written to Antonick to get his car in the upcoming book. The car's actual appearance in the book is somewhat unusual in that Wadsworth was not very well known; it is always more attractive to publishers to have celebrity's cars featured. In this series, Antonick opted for a "reader's car" section and the '62 fuelie was on its way to fame.
Soon, the time came when Wadsworth had to sell the car. As with many Corvette owners of the day, he sold the car in order to purchase a new home. The next notable owner was Chip Miller
For this part of the story, it's interesting to note that almost every fuelie owner has developed his or her own special starting techniques to deal with the sometimes recalcitrant early FI systems. In a conversation with Chip, Rob and Sue learned that he had owned the car for six years, from 1980 to 1986. The sale of the car had been a bit of an impulse. Chip had taken it for a drive one day. When he stopped to gas up, it wouldn't re-start. Chip had not yet developed his own special techniques. But it was too late, the decision to sell had been taken.
The car moved to Long Island, NewYork, for the next 12 years and then to Michigan. It was here that Bob Gold found it while searching out collectible cars for various clients. Bob was actually there to look at another car when he saw the '62. He fondly remembered the car from the days when his friend Chip Miller had owned it. Bob encouraged his good friend David Yamall, a mid-year fuelie collector, to buy the car as one way to round out his collection. David couldn't resist considering its incredible unrestored condition, low miles, and rare color combination.
At the same time, Rob and Sue had been searching for about eight years for their first 'classic' Corvette. Subconsciously, Rob always had a '62 in mind. It was the year of his birth and he had always liked the exposed headlights and the duck tail design of the back end...and he wanted a roadster. They both wanted a car that would stand out with a rare color combination. In 1998, Sue saw a beautiful Fawn Beige '62 at Carlisle. That was it. The search focused on a '62 Fawn Beige Corvette.
Once the decision was finally made, the search intensified. But the results were disappointing. In the summer of 1999, they decided that they were going back to Carlisle to look one more time and they registered in advance for the Bob Gold Auction event. In fact, the auction tent was their first stop when they arrived at Carlisle. Sure enough, sitting under the tent they first saw David's '62. They immediately expressed interest in buying it, but David had brought it to Carlisle with the intention of selling it through the auction.

Report by Hywel Davies on 19 January 2013.
Innocence and naivety seemed to be the thread for the collection and the non-contrived approach was refreshingly brilliant – both beautiful and slightly disconcerting.

Exactly. It's not right.
Apparently after our own massacre in port Arthur and the new gun laws and the government gun buyback of guns. . . . Our murder rate by guns has dropped by 80 percent. You can't say it doesn't help. If it dropped by 10 percent it would still be a win.

Being around a bunch of classic car enthusiasts for a long time, it's not uncommon to hear horror stories about how a supposed top-notch hot rod shop lacked the talent and ability to properly fulfill a contract of restoring someone's prized vintage ride. But rarely does it happen to the same customer with two different cars almost simultaneously.
Unfortunately, what seemed like a good idea at the time turned into an inconvenient truth to some nice, honest people ... Not once, but twice.
Will and Shanna Blanton are business owners who attribute much of their success to Will's parents. Seems his dad was instrumental in getting the business going in the right direction early on, so the couple thought it would be a cool idea to pay tribute and give a little thanks to Will's dad by surprising him with a fully-restored '66 Chevelle on Father's Day; a car similar to what he had owned before Will was born.
Will and Shanna came across a local shop near their Fayetteville, North Carolina, home that they felt could handle the show-quality restoration they were looking for. About half way through the Chevelle's build, Shanna noticed Will was showing a bit of interest in owning a muscle car of his own. So Shanna secretly contracted the shop to build her hubby a Pro Touring-influenced '69 Camaro convertible.
Well, Father's Day comes and the shop kept their promise on delivering the Chevelle on time. That's great, but the car was only about eighty percent completed. Unhappy with the car's appearance, the Blanton's sent the car back to the shop to be fully completed. Fast-forward three months. The Chevelle returns, but is still full of noticeable flaws. Will turns to Shanna and says, "I think we have a little problem here." Shanna confesses to Will that the problem is bigger than he knows, and informs him that the half-finished '69 Camaro he's been seeing in the shop belongs to him.
Appreciative of his wife's thoughtfulness and goodwill, he gave the shop another opportunity to make good on their promise to turn out a show-quality hot rod. Confirming the shop didn't underbid the job, Will offered up additional funds to get the car build right. He didn't want to have issues with his Camaro like had happened with the Chevelle.
Months later, Will's "finished" Camaro was delivered in similar condition as the Chevelle. It featured horrific panel alignment, multiple shades of paint on each panel, and shoddy wiring. And that's just touching the surfice.
Having enough of the shop's circus act, Will contacted Frank Serafine at Prodigy Customs (www.prodigycustoms.com) in Orlando, Florida, and had him fly up to see the cars in person, and to give a professional diagnosis of the cars' problems.
"I hated to break the news to Will, but I felt like a doctor informing him that he was dying," Says Frank. "Will was hoping a little tweak here and there would fix the problems, but that just wasn't the case. Both cars had to be stripped to bare metal and basically started over from scratch."


text: Does anyone know why I might be having this problem? This weekend, I would have my batter charged to 100% before bed, when I woke up it was at roughly 95%. Yet, monday, the phone at 100% straight off the charger and on the stand next to the bed... I woke up tuesday morning to a strange sound from my phone. I looked at it. It was a 10% battery warning. I looked in the settings at the battery and it said the screen used up the most battery life. I literally didn't use the phone at all. So, last night I kept the phone on the charger. I woke up this morning to my alarm, and laid in bed playing with my phone. when I got up, I realized the phone was at 82%. I looked at the battery page and it said that the screen used up all of the battery in just 7 minutes and 6 seconds. So theoretically at that pace just sending a few texts a day my battery would only last about 40 minutes... wtf is going on with my phone? It used to be the best battery I had in a phone. I could go without charging it for 1-2 days.

Picasa Web Albums and Google Profiles
Photos are often a big part of who you are. Picasa Web Albums has teamed with Google Profiles and Google+ to make it even easier for people to find the photos you've shared with them.
If you're new to Picasa Web Albums, you'll create a Google profile (or add your existing one) during the sign-up process. If you already use Picasa Web Albums, the choice is yours. If you decide you'd like to use a profile, go to the My Photos tab and click Showcase your Photos on the right-hand side.
This same Google profile and your Picasa Web albums will be added to Google+ (if you join). Learn more about how Google+ and Picasa Web Albums are connected.
Here's how it works:
As the profile owner, you can see all of your own public albums as well as those that you've shared with other people on the Photos tab.
- Visitors to your profile can see your full name and your public Picasa Web Albums.
- Your private albums stay private. Only the people with whom they've been shared can see them.
- Your profile name and photo will be displayed in Picasa Web Albums (and in other products like Google+).
- Existing comments, likes, and albums will be associated with the name you've chosen on your profile.
Above all, remember that you control who sees your albums and where. Preview what your profile looks like from someone else's perspective. Your best form of control is to actively manage the album visibility. On your profile, you can also hide the Photos tab from public view, in addition to controlling whether your Google profile can be found in search results.

I found this game on a site very very far away and thought its funny.
After having posted here your welcome of course to post in the more serious threads as well
Its all about defining a word as you may have already guessed.
The word can be anything, english or not, existing or fantasy, discworld or roundworld, just as long as its definable.
Once you've defined the word give a new one for the next person.
I give an example, though it hasnt usually to be SUCH difficult hope you enjoy it.
Definity: The exact time one needs to assume a form or shape
in order to watch the ultimate point of infinity from the
best possible position without having to wear rimless spectacles.

While Overeem certainly wasn't given the same recovery time Browne had received moments earlier, the victor explained the difference in the scenarios: Overeem wasn't coming back.
"His eyes were so far back in his head that I wasn't even going throw a third hammerfist," Browne said. "I cocked back, but I was looking at him and thinking, 'Nah, he's done. I'm not going to hit him again.'
"There was no response from Alistair when he was flat on his back looking at the light. If he would have given him an extra five or 10 seconds, there would be something wrong with him right now. When your head is bouncing off the mat? The first one was the hardest one. I was actually landing on the ground when I threw it."
For Browne, who has lost just once in eight UFC appearances, the win helped to announce his arrival as a legitimate contender in the heavyweight division. How the stoppage affects his position in the public's eye remains to be seen, but Browne said he anticipated there would be a backlash even before he entered the cage.
"I almost called it before the fight even happened," Browne said. "I said, 'What's going to happen is I'm going to go out here, I'm going to win, and then everybody is going to make excuses for the guy.' I knew people were going to say, 'If he would have fought the Overeem back in the day, it would have been completely different.' I beat him. I knocked him out. Stop making excuses for the guy.
"When I sat in the press conference after I lost to Antonio Silva, I came out and said, 'I don't have any excuses. I lost the fight. You can't take that away from him.' People are going to make excuses for their favorite fighter or who they think should have won, but you have to look at the facts and see what happened."
Browne is certainly due for another big fight in his next contest. Fabricio Werdum is waiting on an opponent, and the winners of fights like Josh Barnett vs. Frank Mir, Daniel Cormier vs. Roy Nelson and even champ Cain Velasquez vs. Junior dos Santos will all be looking for a high-profile opponent.
While the 31-year-old Browne doesn't know what's coming next, he wants to put an end to any talk of what should or shouldn't have happened against Overeem.
"You get hit in the body, you're able to respond," Browne said. "I was responding the entire time. Yamasaki told me to do something, and I did it. He needed a sign of life, and I yelled at him. Yeah, you get kneed in the gut by Alistair Overeem, you're going to go down, and he's going to do his job of following up with those rabbit punches and try to finish the fight on a technicality. I didn't need the ref to finish the fight. He was out cold.
"This is a fight. Why do you need a ref to stop the fight anyway? He wasn't getting back up after I knocked him out. That's honesty. Alistair did everything he could do so he could win the fight in the first three minutes of the fight, but he would have needed the ref to stop the fight to get the win. I didn't need the ref to stop the fight. I stopped the fight.

Titanic is a fictional story of a rich woman and a poor man on the Titanic who meet on the unsinkable ship perfect optimizer. Featuring spectacular special effects set amidst the backdrop of one ofthe most tragic events of the 20th Century, James Cameron'saward-winning TITANIC stands as one of the greatest Hollywoodspectaculars of all time. Beginning with an undersea expedition in the1990s, in which scuba divers are searching the sunken ship for lostrelics, a painting of young Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet) isfound.

Directed by Kim Jin-yeong (김진영)
Screenplay by Ha Myeong-mi (하명미)118min | Release date in South Korea : 2011/03/31
Also known as "Meet the In-Laws" and previously known as "Dangerous Meeting"
The classic �Romeo and Juliet� story is transplanted to Korea in a tale the exploits the deep-seated regionalism between Honam and Yeongnam.
When cartoonist Hyun-joon (Song Sae-byeok) falls in love with Da-hong (Lee Si-yeong), one of his fans, it sets up the archetypal battle between their two families, who are from rival regions. Hyun-joon comes from the politically liberal Honam region (North and South Jeolla) while Da-hong comes from the conservative Yeongnam region (North and South Gyeongsang). When the two declare their intention to marry, they are confronted with a seemingly endless number of barriers that threaten their happiness.
The Yeongnam-Honam regional divide dates back to the 60s when most governmental development projects were concentrated in Seoul and the Yeongnam area, excluding Honam and sparking the rivalry between the two regions.
To win the approval of Da-hong�s parents, Hyun-joon pretends he is from Yeongnam. His attempts to change his dialect and conceal his identity provide moments of comic relief in an otherwise heavy drama.
The film�s stars are actors to watch. Song gained popularity for his recent starring role in �The Servant� last year. Lee is known for her prowess on screen, in 2009�s �Boys Over Flowers,� and in the ring, winning the women�s amateur boxing championship last month.

Woody Allen's gentle and nostalgic tribute to the glory days of radio and coming-of-age during World War II plays like Fellini's Amarcord filtered through Neil Simon. The nominal star is Seth Green as Joe, a teenage Jewish boy, growing up with a house full of relatives in Brooklyn. Allen cuts between Joe's working class neighborhood of Rockaway Beach, Queens, and the glittery and glamorous world of radio in Manhattan.~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide
