For the love of God, WHY?
Now imagine a carriage drawn by 1700 horses.The MK II Granada was a perfectly decent big Ford in the days Ford made big cars. Wallowy, yes, but better as the 2.8i than the 2.8 and even quite fun in a piloting a barge sort of way. In its day the Granada managed to deliver something in the region 150bhp, decent figures for its time. Tuners could take that up towards 200bhp, but no one could have conceived that a Granada could ever deliver really serious performance.
But a pair of barking mad and seemingly deep-pocketed Norwegians - Joel Olsen and Ingar Byman have spent the last five years, and probably more money than they care to count, building the ultimate Granada with the potential to deliver up to 1700bhp. Yes, you read that right, 1700bhp.
In typical Scandinavian Men in a Shed fashion the two Norwegians have spent the last five years making the Granada a contender for the ultimate Q car title by fitting it with the engine from a Koenigsegg CCX. Thats the Ford V8 seriously fettled by that other bunch of Scandinavian men in a shed led by the intrepid Christian von Koenigsegg.
Theyve fitted a new rear suspension from a Mustang Cobra and fitted a set of Porsche brakes to give their Granada a fighting chance of putting the power down and stopping before they end up in a Fjord, and ended up with a car that is like nothing else on the planet.
They seem to have heaps of problems along the way (they should have given Christian a call) but it looks like their project zzz zzz is now ready to rock and roll.
You can check out some of the photos of the Granada Koenigsegg in the gallery below, and there are more on the Zzz Zzz Facebook page.
For the love of God, WHY?
Why not?
You're missing the crucial point here.
Why not supe up a decent car, rather then a brick with 4 wheels?
Well, in an interview this Mr. Joel Olsen said the Granada is his dream car.
I can relate to that. I'd take some cars of the 80s and 90s over current types any day.
When I was attending summer school at another high school, we heard an incredibly loud engine fire up one day. It rattled the entire campus. We found out later that the auto shop teacher and his class had transplanted a Merlin aircraft engine into an old Lincon Continental, and had just fired it up for the first time. The exhaust system had not been complete yet, so it was open pipes.
Granada is a popular "rånebil" in Norway, it's a phenomenon that is typical on the norwegian countryside where young people gather in their cheap but somewhat modified cars and drive around aimlessly, drift and try to pick up 14 year old girls.
Oh god, its a XD falcon.
I wonder if all the door handles have broken off yet.
Fast On Race Day!
I can feel the national pride in me hearing about these great heroes of automobilengineering.
I wonder the same thing when people here get excited for old MBs and BMWs lol.
But on the other hand I do love a sleeper.
When I saw the thread title I was thinking it was a US market Fox Granada. Which is a common sleeper since its on the Fox platform that the '79 to '04 Mustang is on.

Usage: Basil is good with fish, meat, poultry and vegetable dishes. Use in salads, soups, and stews. Try adding basil to salt, minced garlic, and olive oil to make pesto.
Info: Also known as St. Joseph's Wort, basil is a widely used and versatile herb, most commonly used in Italian, French, and Mediterranean cuisines. Basil is derived from basileus, Greek for king, and it also happens that culinary authors consider this herb the "King of Herbs". It is a symbol of love in Italian culture - it indicates a man's intentions for marriage and a woman's willingness. And in Indian culture, it is a symbol of hospitality. However, the Greeks believed one can become insane to its sweet, yet strong, flavor.
Basil is a herbaceous, annual plant with over twelve varieties cultivated for culinary use. The more commonly used varieties are sweet basil and Thai basil.
Origin: India

What Do You Do If You Are Injured At A Gym, On A Ski Lift, Or At Another Place Of Business And You Knowingly Or Unknowingly Consented To Waive Liability In The Event Of An Accident Or Negligence?
Over the years, as an experienced catastrophic accident attorney , I have represented a number of clients who were injured at a gym, or on a ski slope and the business owner or operator attempted to deny coverage or liability due to an exculpatory clause in the contract, membership agreement, or lift ticket that stated that the facility waived any liability in the event of an accident.
Pennsylvania law provides that an exculpatory clause or a clause waiving liability is valid if it does not violate any policy of the law, the contract is between persons relating entirely to their own affairs and each party is a "free bargaining agent", and is not in effect a contract or adhesion whereby one party simply adheres to a document which is powerless to alter having no alternative than to reject the transaction entirely. Even if a clause in a contract is determined to be exculpatory, the Supreme Court has established standards that must be met before it will relieve one from liability that the law would otherwise impose.
1) It must be strictly construed since it is not favorite of the law.
2) It must spell out the contention of the parties the greatest particularity so as to show an intent to release from liability beyond a reasonable doubt by express stipulation, no inference from words or general import can establish it.
3) It must be construed against the parties seeking immunity.
4) The burden to establish immunity is upon the party who asserts it.
Obviously if you or a loved one has suffered a catastrophic injury or wrongful death at a business entity, property or recreational facility of another, a clause attempting to limit or extinguish their liability may not necessarily release the offending party from their responsibility for injuries and accidents. Many individuals and lawyers pay heed to the chilling effect of these clauses and do not understand that such communication must be understandable without ambiguity or deception and may often call for the involvement of an experienced catastrophic injury or wrongful death lawyer.
For over three decades, the experienced Pennsylvania personal injury and Philadelphia premise liability lawyers of Reiff & Bily have successfully tackled some of the nation's toughest defendants and largest corporations on a no recovery, no fee basis representing the interests of consumers. We believe that safety and not profitability should be priority one, and our skilled catastrophic injury attorneys have a successful track record holding wrongdoers accountable.

Auto Shelters Buying Guide
Worried about leaving your vehicle out in the harsh winter conditions? Need somewhere to store your yard equipment? Canadian Tire offers a variety of portable shelters to meet your vehicle and outdoor storage needs. Whether you are looking to merely keep your car out of the sun in the summer or want protection from harsh winter conditions there, we have the perfect solution.
There are a number of different styles of portable sheds, garages, storage shelters and canopies. Canadian Tire makes it easy to find a shelter solution for all your shade and storage needs.
Shelter Safety Tips
Choosing the Right Shelter
- Determine what you need to cover with your shelter and how you intend to use the shelter, keeping in mind the weather patterns you experience in your area. For example, if you'd like to keep your vehicle free of snow during the winter and you live in a climate that gets medium-heavy snowfall, then a portable garage with sidewalls would be an ideal fit. However, if you live in a more moderate climate and would simply like to keep your equipment out of the sun, then a canopy would be a better fit.
- After you have chosen how you want to store your equipment or vehicle, the next step is to measure your equipment or vehicle to determine what size shelter you'll need. Measure the entire length and width of your vehicle or equipment (including trailer if applicable) and then evaluate which shelter best fits your needs.
- Are you looking for seasonal shade or seasonal storage? Canopies are great for seasonal shade, they are quick to set up and more cost effective. However, they don't offer the protection that a full garage or shed will give.
- For storage of vehicles, equipment or other valuables, our shed Instant Garage® or larger storage shelters are the recommended solution, as they provide the room and security needed for larger items.
Different Types of Outdoor Shelters for Different Uses
- Pop-up Canopies - Ideal for decks, patios, backyard events, sporting and special events, vendor tents and classic car shows.
- Canopies - Ideal for seasonal shade for cars, trucks, boats, backyard or special events, flea markets, craft fairs or bulk storage.
- Sheds - Ideal for smaller sports vehicles, snowmobiles, ATVs, lawn and garden equipment and tractors.
- Garages - Ideal for seasonal auto, truck, boat, ATV, snowmobile, lawn and garden or bulk storage.
- Storage shelters - Ideal for larger items or multiple items such as trailers, RVs, bit boats, agricultural, commercial and industrial equipment, recreational vehicles, trucks, cars and bulk storage.
Recommended Accessories
- Canopy Enclosure kits - Gives you the option to quickly convert your outdoor canopy tent into an enclosed shelter. This gives you added security for your equipment, as well provides all-weather protection. Typically these kits take less than 10 minutes to install on an already standing canopy.
- Roll-up Door kits - Gives you the ability to open and close the door to your shelter in one easy pull. These kits fit all double-zippered door fabric garages, sheds and shelters, allowing you to get at your equipment more easily.
- Anchor kit - Proper anchoring is an essential part of any shelter installation. Anchor kits will dig into grass or unpacked soil to securely anchor your shelter into the ground. All shelters include anchors which are good for seasonal use and are easy to install and quick to remove. However, if you are looking for a more permanent solution, an anchoring kit will give you a more secure installation, and more flexibility on your surface type.
- Lighting kits - Allow you to safely and easily illuminate your shelter by handling several lights along the shelter's frame. Lighting kits are durable and designed to handle all weather conditions.
Shelter Safety Tips
- Be sure to anchor your shelter properly, as proper anchoring is an absolute must to ensure safe and secure installation of your structure. Be sure that you have the anchors (either a kit or the included ones) to match your needs and intended use.
- Keep snow or water from accumulating on the roof of your shelter. Never enter the shelter to knock snow off. Using a soft object (a broom or mop) brush the snow away. If water pools on your cover, the cover is too loose. Having water or snow accumulating on the roof of your shelter can cause stress on the shelters supports, which can prove to be a safety concern.
- Keep cover tight, a tight cover ensures a stronger shelter and promotes longer fabric life. Periodically (monthly is ideal) check and tighten the corner ratchets or Twist Tite™ leg on canopies (if equipped).
- When installing your shelter, be sure to keep it away from overhead wires, structures and other hazards that could damage your shelter or prove to be a safety hazard.
- Don't forget an anchor kit if you need one. Depending on your application, you may need to purchase an anchoring kit, as opposed to using the anchors included in the package. For a more permanent use or a challenging mounting surface, more permanent anchoring maybe desired. An improperly anchored shelter can prove to be a safety hazard.
As well, before purchasing your shelter, consult your local by-laws regarding shelter installation. Different municipalities have different laws regarding portable shelters and garages, and some may only have seasonal requirements.
Before beginning your shelter installation, be sure to read and fully understand the installation instructions. Call the customer service number on your installation manual with any questions or concerns you have. Following these useful tips and guidelines will give you years of safe use out of your portable shelter or garage.

Art lover makes largest personal donation in College of DuPage history
Kevin Haynes, designer of the new space for art to honor Cleve Carney, discusses the project. | Hank Beckman~For The Sun
Article Extras
Updated: June 25, 2012 1:15PM
Most of us receive gifts on our birthday.
Cleve Carney celebrated his 73 years on earth by giving away about a million dollars to the College of DuPage.
Thought to be the largest donation in COD history, Carney's bequest includes about 40 percent of the 600 pieces of contemporary art in his personal collection, in addition to about $700,000 in cash.
The college marked the occasion with a special event in an area to be called the Cleve Carney Art Space, which will become a reality as part of the renovation of the McAninch Arts Center on campus.
"It is Cleve's wish that you and this community can enjoy art the way he has enjoyed it, as it is presented in this new space and this world-class venue," Rick Carney said, speaking for his brother.
Illness has left Cleve Carney wheelchair bound, but he greeted well-wishers at a reception at the Culinary and Hospitality Center, after which the crowd of about 200 made their way to the "MAC" for a short preview of the gallery to be dedicated to Carney.
The Cleve Carney Art Space will actually be a new wing of the McAninch Arts Center after the renovation, and will be connected to the main building by the current gallery space in the center.
Cleve Carney grew up in Wheaton before going off to Princeton University. After college, he bought into a lumber business, sold it later at a profit and began a career as an investor.
But philanthropy and support for the arts was his true calling.
Aside from the extensive support he provided to local contemporary artists, Carney served as board president of the DuPage Community Foundation and as a board member of the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Society for Contemporary Art at the Art Institute of Chicago.
He also provided support for the B.R. Hall YMCA, Central DuPage Hospital, Morton Arboretum and the Wheaton Lions Club.
Director of the McAninch Arts Center Stephen Cummins was one of many who spoke of Carney as both a superlative person and an outstanding member of the community.
"This gift to the college is not just a space, his collection is a learning tool about contemporary art that will live on in perpetuity," Cummins said.
Speaking of Jim Nutt, a prominent local artist whose work hangs in the Art Institute, Cummins noted that he would now be accessible to COD students and other local visitors.
"COD students in the future will be able to say they can either go downtown to see a Jim Nutt piece, or, you know what, we can see one right here," he said.
Artists that benefited from their association with Carney sang his praises.
"He didn't just appreciate art on dry, academic terms," local artist Tony Fitzpatrick said. "He always appreciated it in human terms."
Sculptor Tom Sromski has known Carney for more than 20 years.
"He's collected a lot of my work, actually," Sromski said. "He's a rare bird in the art world … he's down to earth."
Mark White, design architect of the new space, noted Carney's many accomplishments in life, among them scholar, athlete, being a Princeton man and having the distinction of being one of the Navy's original "frogmen."
But art was Carney's first passion and White smiled as he told the story of visiting Carney's home for the first time.
"Every surface of that house was covered with art," he said. "And not just the walls."

Apple's default iOS apps are great. They exude the simplicity and polish for which the company is known. But they do not and should not suit everyone's needs, and they should not be our only options to handle core tasks. iOS users need control over default apps.
The problem
There is currently no (legitimate) way for iOS users to perform core tasks with alternative apps. For example, you cannot tap an email link in Safari to create a new message with anything but Mail. All web links open in Safari, events in Calendars, directions in Maps, and so on. If you prefer Fantastical over Apple's Calendar, or Mailbox over Mail, or Google Maps over Apple's, tough luck—they can't fit into your regular workflow because iOS and its apps are hardwired out of the box to use Apple's apps for core tasks. iOS and the massive app ecosystem Apple touts become less useful.
Third-party developers can choose to use alternative apps for core tasks, but it's a manual process every step of the way. Each developer has to hardwire their app to talk to any other relevant apps. For example, if you want your news app to send article links and text snippets to Evernote, Springpad, WordPress, Simplenote, Tumblr, or any number of other apps, the developer has to deliberately build in a login system or at least sharing buttons for each and every service. It's tedious, untenable, and a terrible experience for users.
Everything to no one
Apple's iOS apps try to cover the needs of most customers and, in that regard, they are quite successful. But while many customers have not had complex needs in the past, that's changing. There are more apps and services, and we have more perpetual connectivity to them, than ever before—thanks largely in part to the wildly successful App Store economy Apple helped create.
But when customer needs grow beyond the features Apple decides to build, we are nevertheless shackled to Apple's apps for core tasks. We're prohibited from doing what we want using the tools we need. Perhaps even more aggravating, when I've brought up this topic in the past on social media, a handful of Apple engineers have reached out to explain that, if we need one feature or another in Apple's core apps, we should file a feature request. Apple will consider it, and if it deems the feature worthy of 500+ million customers, we might get lucky.
This approach is untenable for Apple, its developers, and its customers.
Apple can't add and continually update a zillion integrations to iOS and its apps. At the same time, customers can't keep growing to depend on the third-party apps Apple so loves to push without getting a much better, frictionless experience.
I save websites and text to a mixture of OmniFocus, Pocket, Evernote, and more. As the user base of the App Store and its many third-party services has exploded in the last half decade, I'm clearly not alone. Pocket now boasts nearly 10 million users, Evernote has 50 million. Enough for Apple to care about? Apparently, not yet. But do those users deserve a great, frictionless experience on what Apple claims is the best mobile OS on the planet? Yes.
The illusion of choice
Apple actively encourages users to adopt any and all of the 850,000 apps in the App Store, including the mountain of alternatives to its default apps. Pushing all those apps—a growing number of which are designed to replace core app functionality—is pointless and increasingly insulting if those apps continue to be cut off at the knees.
I would actually understand Apple's current position if it fulfilled the persistent, inaccurate myth of being anticompetitive by banning and removing apps that can perform core tasks. It would draw a much clearer line about what we can and can't do with iOS.
Lead, don't follow
Instead of allowing people's needs to grow and take them beyond what iOS can offer, Apple could enhance iOS to accommodate those users without negatively impacting the rest.
Maybe it's a new option, buried somewhere in Settings, with a list of core tasks (email, calendar, contacts) and apps that can be assigned for them. If you've searched for public transit options using Apple Maps to see the list of third-party apps which can handle your request, that's in the ballpark of what I'm talking about. Plus, that list displays both installed apps and relevant App Store options; discoverability in this mechanism would benefit everyone, including third-party developers and Apple.
Maybe it could be even simpler than that, maybe the Settings option needs a big red button that warns users of what they're about to do. Those are challenges that Apple's capable UX designers and hey, YouTube mockup artists can tackle.
The bottom line is, by giving users control over default apps for core tasks, those who need more out of iOS could get it, while users who are happy with Apple's defaults can stay that way. Everybody wins.

valentine's day… what is the colour of love?
Red has come to symbolise 'I love you' and this is nowhere more evident than on Valentine's Day. Traditionally, it is the man who will give a gift for the one they love, admire… desire. Given red is the colour of masculine energy, it's no surprise red is the most popular choice of colour.

Nationwide protests against dangerous double trailers
Latest Security News
Yesterday, April 26, groups of independent Mexican truckers went on strike demanding stricter rules for double-trailer weight and dimension limits. Truckers blocked one lane of the Mexico – Queretaro and Mexico – Pachuca highways causing major traffic disruptions. Protesters claim double-trailers are dangerous and often carry excessive weight loads leading to severe accidents. For instance, on April 13, a truck pulling two trailers carrying a load with excessive weight lost its rear trailer, which crashed into a bus killing five students and a teacher. The incident occurred near the Federal District. A similar incident occurred on April 20, when a double-trailer also lost its rear trailer due to excessive weight. The unit crashed into a bus killing 43 passengers near Veracruz. Truckers also complain against corrupt police and the high price of gasoline. Blockades are expected in 110 municipalities of 28 states in which approximately 50 thousand trucks will participate. Today, April 27, the following highways are being blocked by protesters: Puebla – Acatzingo (km 166); Cordoba – Puebla (km 166); Cosoleacaque – Nuevo Tepa (km 29) and Mexico – Queretaro. They plan to block several highways connecting to the Federal District today as well.

WILLIAMSON — This Saturday, the Williamson Farmers Market will host its second preseason market day in preparation for its official opening, and will also have a special flower and plant sale for Mother's Day in addition to its usual assortment of produce and baked and canned goods.
"On our opening day on April 27, we had a pretty good variety of stuff," Market Manager, Helen Stanley, said. "We had canned and baked goods, tomatoes off the vine, beets, kale and so on. This week, we expect to have more."
With the inclusion of its flowers sale, and being two weeks further into the growing season, the Market expects to have a much larger variety on Saturday.
"On April 27, we had over 300 people attend the market," Stanley said. "It was busy all day, and I hope for the same turnout this week."
Doug Dudley, one of several vendors who will be set up at the market Saturday, said he would have a wide variety of items available, including both gifts for Mothers Day, as well as produce for regular consumers.
"I will have major varieties of flowers that will make for the perfect Mother's Day gifts," Dudley said. "I will have hanging baskets and potted flowers, as well as flats of bedding plants that were grown specifically for this area."
In addition to the plants, he will have an assortment of fresh vegetables, including sweet potato slips, spinach, mustard greens, green onions and more.
The market will be open from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. and is located on the corner of Second Avenue and Vinson Street across from BB&T Bank.

Honoring 20 who make a difference
Teachers are a special breed. They are driven by a love of learning and a desire to impact young lives.
They spend countless hours devising lesson plans, working individually with students before and after school. They volunteer their time to assist with school activities and often spend their own money for supplies or rewards for a job well done. They make personal sacrifices of time, money and sometimes family to do what they do. In return, they seek nothing more than the smile of a student whose imagination has been captivated; a hug from a student who needs one in return; or the words of thanks from a student whose mind has grasped a challenging topic. But we believe they also deserve our thanks and recognition. This is our first annual "Henrico's Top Teachers" issue – our way of saying "thank you" to 20 of the finest teachers in our county. Last year, we asked for your nominations of teachers whose efforts go above and beyond the call of duty, and we were overwhelmed with more than 120. Paring their ranks to just 20 was no easy task. We thank each reader who took the time to nominate a worthy candidate. We know each teacher would appreciate the kind words we received. It's clear that many teachers in Henrico County have made a long-lasting impact on their students and students' parents and other relatives. We're proud to present profiles of these preschool, elementary school, middle school and high school teachers, who were selected for inclusion in this issue based on their professional successes and their personal touches. Each one has, in his or her own unique way, touched hundreds of lives and helped mold the future of Henrico County. "There are so many teachers out there who are so worthy," one of our 'Top Teachers' told us, upon learning of her selection. "It's just nice to know that somebody has noticed." Judging from the nominations we received, in fact, many people have noticed. This issue has been an exciting journey for us – and we're already anxious for next year's issue. A special thanks is due to Martin's, which graciously provided gift cards for each teacher, and to the Richmond Flying Squirrels, who provided tickets to their Teacher Appreciation Night at The Diamond in June for each teacher and their families. Teachers will be recognized at the game, and one will have an opportunity to throw out the first pitch at the game. Henrico teachers should be proud of what they do for the youngsters in our community. We certainly are. |

Thank you for the kind response. I remain convinced that only an Apollo approach will get us to the moon before the Chinese. Musk is finding out the hard way that the infrastructure needed for launch vehicles of any real size are taxing to say the least. It has been said that private spaceflight is the surest way to turn billionairs into millionairs.
My fear is that some of the big talk of the alt.spacers will cause the Proxmire types in Washington to cut NASA funds thanks to the illusion of progress on the private spaceflight front. The rocket planes we see fly today are little better than the ME-163 Komets used by the Luftwaffe to try to shoot down B-17s...to little effect. It will be all Musk can do just to get his EELV class Falcon IX in the air--and I simply do not see a private HLLV.
If you want to go to the moon--you must abandon the concept of space assembly via EELV. Each of those Launch Vehicles stays on the pad a long time. Take the Delta IV that has been lingering in SLC-6 as long as that old Titan IV has been there.
It is too simple to say "well, that's gov't for you." That shows a lack of understanding of what is needed to make these birds fly--and Musks own delays are proof enough of that fact.
I think that the private world has much to contribute. The gov't funded genome project was in a very close chase with a private company that actually led the race. Its one think to work in a so called man-scale with microscopes.
It is something else again to produce one-million pounds of thrust or so needed to get to orbit. NASA is best at Big Access to space--needed for stations, moonships, landers to Europa, etc. Private industry is good for payloads.
The strong-man approach to spacelift worked. You had ruthless Chief Designers with resources at their beck and call. Griffin emulates these men. He knows that the number 1 goal of the prime contractors is to make money--thus the push behind EELVs and the attacks on HLLV. Griffin has an adversarial relationship with the contractors and will have them build what he needs--and not build what they want. Thus his approach is best for the taxpayer. If you believe that regulation/oversight is always bad--the result is that the prime contractors gut you.
Sean O'Keefe got things backwards. He fell for the Kistler promises, and thought that NASA would 'buy rides' from private space companies, who would provide the actual launch services.
That scenario failed because it played to the weakness of both parties.
It needs to be the other way around. NASA builds the launch vehicles and private industry has the payloads. That is why we have space tourists. The big R-7 launch vehicles came first--and were privatized in part with tourism funds. Rutans craft flys a couple of times higher--and only one Mach number faster--than the MiG-25 Foxbat, which allows you to stay in the air longer, is more stable, and as an altitude winner in its own right gives you a good view.
The result is that if I want to FLY fast and high, I'll go rent a MiG flight. If I actually want to go to space--I'll get on a Soyuz. The oreration aspects are exactly what NASA is suited for, because Musk and others just cannot compete at the level needed.
Economies of scale favor NASA. The Kistler folks have had their try--and will continue to fall flat because they are at the mercy of private funds, and NASA isn't. A private flight to the moon using all private rockets is no more doable than a private Tennesee Valley Authority, or a private Interstate highway system.
The Soviet military understood scale--but not commerce. That is why they had trouble duplicating the B-29. Their consumer sector was also in a shambles. Our military had both strong men like Medaris on the inside, and consumer goods on the outside.The space race was between gov'ts, after all.
Libertarians understand commerce, but not scale. An all-private approach in the 1950s and sixties would have given the Soviets the moon, as would the enemies of NASA. The same is true today.
With Griffin forcing the contractors to toe the line, he will get the LVs he needs, and it is up to the primes to make their money on that. Since it is may tax money behind this--I want an engineer to make the calls, not the suits.
Kistler had some good engineers, but it was the suits who, by failing to invest in favor of other 'sure things' left the engineers in the lurch. If we attack NASA, we will do that on a grand scale and destroy the infrastructure which gave us the brainpower behind the GPS, which Rutan needed for SS1.
To truly be a private spacecraft, he would have had to put his own GPS constellation up to say that he did his stunt without gov't. NASA is gov't at its best. Same with the Russian space firsts--it is one thing they did well.
And that is why Boeing and Lockheed-Martin use their engines.
Do you want to know what really lost the Soviets the moon race?
I know that goes against everything you were taught--but hear me out. The REDS had a lot of cooks (Chief Designers) each with his own idea for space. Chelomei vs. Mishin...Korolev vs. Glushko, vs Kuznetzov. And they had loads of funds compared to the space start ups.
In the USA, Von Braun led the way. Yes he wasn't a big fan of balloon tanks and Centaurs, but his expertise was without question, and with the weight of NASA behind the Saturn V, the moon race was won.
Cooperation, in the end, won the day, not competition.
Economics bore me. I am for whatever works in spaceflight. Because when that next big asteroid hits, it want matter what system you live under any more. So I am with what works. Griffin is of the Apollo generation, and I choose to support his vision.
And beware venture capitalists. They are some of the worst scum on the planet. They will put a little funds here, a little there, to see what takes hold. To wet their beaks if you will. But they have no staying power--and no vision. So if someone finds a cheaper way to grow tobacco, they will put money in that. If you had a cheaper way to go to space--well, they'll help you EAT the cake.
But they won't help you bake it, beyond a few crumbs used to print glossy pamphlets passed around to other folks at space conventions, where everyone is selling...and no one is buying. The worst of the venture capitalists give you just enough money to get your hopes up--then dash your head to the ground when they pull out the carpet.
Which makes me wonder if hauling them off to Siberia after laying the butt of an AK-47 upside their head is such a bad thing after all.

The next major FCC action might just be the White Space spectrum, those frequencies that used to carry your old analog TV channels. A more complete understanding of this spectrum has led me to believe that there is a major opportunity here, and the possibilities are nearly endless. Most recent findings, those the FCC intend to base decisions on, see this as a Win-Win for consumers.
One of the most important aspects of this technology is that the white space that surrounds your home or school belongs to you. Using the white space, high speed internet access can be broadcast via these seldom used low frequency channels to a central hub, a combination TV tuner/wireless router that can both send and receive data as well as hook up all of your wireless devices. The theory is that you, or your school, or your church should have access to these low frequency signals and at the least, be able to connect all of the devices to a single point. The local devices can be anything. TV's, laptops, smart phones, 2 way's, or kid trackers. The network uses the old analog TV signal space grandma used to watch Cronkite on.
Think of your hub being the TV station both receiving and broadcasting, via an encrypted, secure, and low power channel to your IPad at the train station 3 miles away. Think of connecting all of the televisions, stereo's, speakers, and consoles you are using today to your hub without a single wire. Since it uses the low frequency space the old analog TV signals occupied before the birth of digital broadcasting, there are virtually thousands of available frequencies at low power for communities both large and small. Google has volunteered to create a database that uses geolocation technology to map the location of the device and compares it to the location of Hubs in an area. Theses White Space devices will need no line of sight to maintain a signal so at very low power, your hub can be hidden and you could still have a great connection 4 stories down.
The space between the channels on your television is where the future of communication lives. The potential for this white space is limited only by creativity, ingenuity, and the need for clear rules of the road. Wireless broadband is the most promising way to extend affordable, ubiquitous, high-speed Internet connections to all Americans, create mesh networks for emergency first responders, enable new capabilities that bring safety, convenience, and comfort to consumers in their homes, and empower the creators of tomorrow's innovations.
The time is now that we allow free access to this white space, it in turn will allow developers to come up with new and innovative uses for this spectrum in conjunction with device makers, and it should allow those communities with no broadband penetration a good chance to be connected. How about a network of free television channels to broadcast the High School play or football game. How about an integrated Fire, Police, and EMS communication and training network without the outlay of taxpayer money to pay the FCC for those pesky and expensive license's. The future is now so let's get on with it.

Rules are cool. :D
Why is everyone talking about Orochimaru like he's dead? That was just the part of him that was preserved in Sasuke's cursed seal. Also remember that the only reason why Sasuke was able to beat Orochimaru was because he was weakened and in need of a new body (plus he made a sneak attack). People always seem to forget that Kabuto took what was left of Orochimaru and it's slowly taking him over. Kabuto said something about not knowing what the end result of the transformation would be, but seemed to imply that it would be something very powerful. Orochimaru seems like he's been itching for a chance to take on Akatsuki, how amazing would it be if "Kabutorochi" of all people put the fight in the Leaf Village's favor?A guy that fights with eight swords, that should be interesting, though it's already been done in One Piece.Emerje
OROCHIMARU LIIVES! ;_; HE LIVES IN OUR HEAARRTTSSSS!!!!!And in my Cosplay. <3Anyways, I still like to think that niether Jiraiya and Orochi are dead, it just doesn't feel right.And no, Octopus don't have tails, but they do have 8 tentacles. XD
