War on Maya
By Abhaya Mudra Dasi
Recently there have been discussions among devotees regarding whether a woman can take the post of a diksha guru.In the pursuance of solving this difficult issue three distinctive factors should be examined. The first is the women's psychology; second, the technicalities that operate in the society of devotees today; and third the mechanics that control the world at large.
By the influence of material Nature and the Supreme Lord, the mentality of the woman is distinctly different from that of a man due to the fact that they are souls housed in different bodies. Regardless of the type of body we find ourselves born with, our nationality and our race, it is undeniable that the material conditions into which we have been born affect our mental frame. And neither are devotee exempt because material conditions affect devotional attitudes. Women have the specific facility to give birth. It does not matter whether a woman has given birth or not in her life: she looks upon herself as a mother and carries herself with that dignified importance. And she expects to be treated in a respectful way for her position.
Additionally, this universal fact about a women's physical structure as mother also affects her mentality. The equality of women as a sort of universal mother naturally makes them feel that they should be treated with equality. It is seen that when an exceptional woman is respected her female friends become envious. This resentment amongst women longing for equal treatment is illustrated in the story of the poisoning of the son of King Chitraketu described in Shrimad Bhagavatam (6.14.42/43).
"Shri Shukadeva Gosvami continued: Being neglected by their husband and seeing Kritadyuti's opulence in possessing a son, Kritadyuti's co-wives always burned in envy, which became extremely strong."
As their envy increased, they lost their intelligence. Being extremely hardhearted and unable to tolerate the King's neglect, they finally administered poison to the son.
Therefore, considering the situation of most women at large, it is a delicate issue whether or not it is reasonable to allow an exceptional member of the fair sex to become a diksha guru. Young girls will not have a problem respecting that experienced Matajee, although her "peers" will certainly try to somehow poison her efforts. So, while considering a specificly qualified women for becoming diskha gurus we must also take into account the ramifications that are created by the situation. Even if the opportunity for the Woman Gurtu is kept open theoretically, this open-minded approach to a knotty situation will keep the peace within ISKCON.
Let's look now the workings operating within ISKCON at present. Many devotees are in favor of women obediently following stri dharma or the duty of women as wives and mothers. One writer proposed that men should take initiation from a woman only of she is able to die with her husband at his burning ghat (although committing Sati really has nothing to do with spirituality). Sati has to do with attachment to a husband which is easily formed when a woman is married to the right man at early age. My own grandmother, who certainly was not a devotee of Shri Krishna, died shortly after my grandfather's death due to her deep attachment to him. She is not an exceptional example even in modern times when the Sati rite is forbidden. But this kind of attachment can be formed only in a society whose strength lies in the fact that it is based on varnashrama. Some devotees want women to act on the level of varnashrama when, in fact, such a society is far from being in place. Moreover, in the system of varnashrama there is an undying respect for the role of the woman as mother which ensures that woman will be protected.
Thus today's devotees should first understand the importance of motherhood in society. As devotees we should establish strong family units wherein compatible couples who are joined according to character and taste (as explained by Shrila Prabhupada http://srimad-bhagavatam.com/?g=25504) can execute their devotional activities in an atmosphere of mutual peace and respect. As long as there is any is disrespect in the family, then varnashrama dharma cannot be properly established. Daily we experience that the International Society for Krishna Consciousness has not yet attained the functional model of varnashrama of which StriDharma is an essential element. Therefore, it seems a bit irrelevant to discuss the dharma of women—either as wives, mothers, devotees or gurus—since these duties are not yet properly established in our society.
It is a fact that the divorce rate in ISKCON is at least as high than the rate in the society of karmis. At least in the country I live in, Bulgaria, husbands and wives tend to have a far better rate of fidelity than I have witnessed in ISKCON. So much did husband and wife infidelity displease Shrila Prabhupada, that despite the fact that His Divine Grace introduced the concept of Vedic marriage to the West, he wrote the following letter to a woman disciple:
Letters : 1972 Correspondence : January : Letter to: Svati — India : LT_720200_A1 :
So your husband has gone but you should not be too much worried, your husband will come back to Krsna consciousness, if not now then later. Anyone who has tasted the bliss of Krsna consciousness he cannot stay away for a very long time. So you should not be too much concerned. Do not be too much worried—forget the past, do not be attached to it for we are only thinking of how we may now please the Supreme Personality of Godhead and the devotees are always optimistic for the advancement of their spiritual progress. So in the meantime there is no question of any more marriage by you so you will become freed from the entangling grip of maya which means sex life. Just see, so many people are suffering so much just for a little sex life. I am so much disturbed by problems caused by sex life that I am not going to sanction any more marriages. Our devotees must do it at their own risk from now on and they must provide their own income for living together outside the temple or if they live in the temple they must live separately.
So who is teaching who? Is it not reasonable to expect that devotees should rise to that level which is socially accepted before attempting to reestablish varnashrama dharma (and stri dharma)? Devotional service to Shri Krishna comes first and foremost before any social or religious duty. This is the main instruction given by Shri Krishna for every one His devotees in Bhagavad Gita 18.66
sarva-dharman parityajya
mam ekam sharanam vraja
aham tvam sarva-papebhyo
mokshayishyami ma shucah
Finally we should consider the world we live in and its effects upon devotees. Today devotees are very much part of the big society since properly insulated and self-sufficient communities have yet to be established for devotees to function independently from the large society. Many devotees, torn between karmi work and aintaining their families, barely find time to execute their devotional duties. It could be said that struggling devotees who ''have their feet in two boats" are not really part of varnashrama dharma, but are part of some phantasmagorical new world order. For many, where exactly they stand in this or that world is open to speculation. To expect that devotee women that work karmi jobs to maintain their families are able and willing to follow stri dharma is a bit of a stretch to ask. They are already under pressure from so many quarters. In pursuance of its irrational sense gratification, the world at large has spun out of control and has gone certifiably insane.
With its unknown elite pulling the strings, this demonic world under the control of mad men is on the verge of cataclysm. In the crucial hours before us, it may be out of place to discuss whether women, men or whoever else is supposed to follow their quiet dharma. Dear friends, such notions are for such times as when everything is going fine. But when there is war and we are supposed to fight Maya with all our reserves, we should employ all our soldiers with full power. There are many examples in history when an important city is attacked and the citizens are on the verge of destruction. Then women also join alongside the men and engage in the struggle for life or death. This is our situation today. Maya's soldiers are attacking and they are sometimes engaged in the most deplorable and wicked tactics. They are like Trojan horses that have been smuggled inside the very fortress of the city of our devotion.
It is unwise to mistake that everything in our Society is at peace and that we are now on the verge of establishing varnashrama dharma. No, this ideal of a perfect varnashram civilization is a dream for the future. Juts see how the world is being rapidly destroyed. Nature is crying because of demonic exploitation. People in general are being sedated by drugs into thinking ''I'm OK, you're OK" when actually they are being fattened up for mass extermination. There is a real war before us. Therefore devotee women should also be called up to fight in the army of Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. At least in times such as those before us women should be prepared to preach in every possible way, and the qualified amongst them should become gurus. And those who have a qualified guru and are strong enough to take on the challenge should initiate. There are billions of living confused and deluded human beings stumbling through this world who need salvation while the number of initiating gurus is limited. The more devotees who can initiate the better regardless of their gender, nationality and race. It must understand that due to the strong responsibility that comes with initiation that a guru can take on only a limited number of disciples. Thus every devotee should qualify himself or herself to become diksha gurus now at this crucial moment in time.
Many living entities may approach the Society with the burden of heavy karma and a guru must be able to take on that burden of sinful reactions physically as well as mentally. Even from our astrological practices, which are based upon Krishna consciousness, that when a devotee comes to us with some karmic burden we must help in removing that karma to help the devotee clear his path to advancement. When a pandit or guide accepts the burden of karma which affects him or her, what to speak of a guru. Only by the mercy of our gurus and Shri Krishna, upon whom we completely depend, is the burden of taking on such karma minimized. A guru must be prepared to take on burdens. It is not a position for accepting the reverential worship of others and personal glory only. It is a post that comes with responsibility. There are many devotees who understand these risks and do not wish to become diksha gurus despite their personal qualifications. But such qualified members should be encouraged. A devotee does not mind giving his or her life to serve the mission of Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
Shrila Prabhupada wanted that all his disciples become gurus:
"We got this information from His Divine Grace Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur, and that knowledge is still going on. You are receiving through his servant. And in future the same knowledge will go to your students. This is called parampara system. It is not that you have become a student and you'll remain student. No. One day you shall become also guru and make more students, more students, more. That is Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's mission, not that perpetually… Yes, one should remain perpetually a student, but he has to act as guru. That is the mission of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu… So we should become always a very obedient student to our guru. That is the qualification. That is the spiritual qualification." Hyderabad, December 10, 1976 Lecture
The line between siksha guru and diksha guru is very subtle; often one guru develops to become the other:
"According to shastric injunctions, there is no difference between shiksha-guru and diksha-guru, and generally the shiksha-guru later on becomes the diksha-guru." SB 4.12 Purport
The qualification for becoming a diksha guru should be determined by the desire of a certain person who longs for initiation for him or her. There cannot be a diksha guru when there is no disciple. This is the decisive factor. If someone is inspired by a particular advanced devotee then he or she can become his or her diksha guru … And then, when peace prevails in the world and the fortress of the town of devotion is secured and varnashrama reestablished, at that time women can go back and practice their stri dharma. This is the ideal.

Forks Over Knives…this is something you MUST see.
I watched this movie a year ago now and I cannot even tell you the difference it has made in my life. To say that the information revealed in the movie is revolutionary is grossly over stated.
What makes this movie so special? Well, for one thing, they show how to turn on and off cancer. Read that sentence again. And this is not some BS study done on 10 people. This is a study done on thousands of people and rats for years and years. These studies are reviewed by peers. This is the real deal. This is not something you read in the latest 12 step health book. These are real doctors with decades of experience with this stuff.
Now, I don't want to give away the movie, because the solutions are so simple that you will write them off because you want something more complicated. For some reasons, humans are always searching for "the secret." And unfortunately, to find "the secret" you have to skip over common sense on your way there.
I cannot beg you enough to watch this movie for you and your family. Personally I have bought additional copies and have given them to friends and family members. And every person who watches this is completely stunned at how life changing this information is. My own mentor changed his eating habits right away, and every time I talk to him, he tells me how much better he feels living this lifestyle. Please, please, please watch this movie.

Dr. Palmer also has a fascinating blog which he writes in regularly. We recommend checking it out:
Your Plastic Surgery Blog - Nip This Tuck That
i am surprised i have not heard more about all those principles. but can u really turn someone from ugly to pretty? or just as he explains for the nose, just give them a bump from ugly to average? it seems the further you stray away from your natural look, the more risk you have of starting to look weird and plastic. i wonder if certain plastic surgeons start losing this eye because they see fake so much and so it no longer seems odd to them. i say this because there are so many celebrities out there with all the money in the world yet they come out looking like plastic surgery nightmares. i always wonder if the doctor thinks that they actually look better. I would say Presilla Presley is a good example of this. I saw her on "dancing with the stars" and she has mega cheek implants that look like big boobies on her face and don't seem to let her skin tissue move well to let her have expressions.
1 Attachment(s)
I get generally what Dr. Palmer is saying about cheek bones being important but at what point does theory get lost to the fact that someone can just start looking plasticy? And Patty, about Priscilla Presley, I ran into her in person a couple years back. YIKES! She so obviously had big old cheek implants in her face and she no longer looks human. Possibly in some positions in a still photo she MIGHT look normal. Here is a pic of her taken at a public place when I ran into her. She hypothetically has "good" cheekbones but yet she is so so off. How would Dr. Palmer fix her back to normal?
I completely understand how these concepts can be confusing but the aesthetics of beauty, as I have discovered and outlined them, are something that we are not taught during our plastic surgery/cosmetic surgery training. It is something that each individual plastic and cosmetic surgeon either has/sees or does not. I can't believe that plastic and cosmetic surgeons actually plan to make people look as bad as they do after plastic surgery...the ones we all cringe when we see them. I believe that the patient and plastic/cosmetic surgeon both agreed upon a faulty aesthetic plan from the very beginning.
Interesting question. I would analyze her face and cheeks which appear a bit too large and replace these with cheek implants that are much more soft and subtle. From her pics, there also appears to be too much skin pull at the corners of the mouth. This is almost impossible to correct and is the result of an over zealous sub-periosteal facelift.
That's true, her mouth is totally a weird shape like the joker or something. So basically, best to go to someone knowledgeable like you since some of the procedures are not reversable. I would just hope her cheeks would be ok after being so stretched out from those whoppers of implants. I wonder if that's a terrino job. I heard he can be a bit excessive.
Logically speaking, when somebody is going to the gym, in order to achieve the maximum aesthetic result he tries to workout muscles of both sides(left and right) equally, in order to achieve the maximum symmetry possible!!That is very difficult because people are either left handed or right handed, and normally one side is more trained than the other.this leads to small body asymmetries , because the more trained side is slightly more massive than the other side!!
The same thing happens with the face.What makes a face is bones, skin and muscles.And we know that the more the one side is identical to the other side, the more attractive is the face considered.That is symmetry.What does that mean?How can an individual intervene and enhanse its beauty?Of course science till now cannot change bones, and create perfectly symmetrical skulls.And that is very crucial, because the shape of the bone determines symmetry and beauty in a big proportion.Noone can just make an ugly woman beautiful just by transplanting Claudia Schiffers skin, because the underlying bone will help the ugliness to stay there.
One other parameter of a faces attractiveness are the underlying muscles.No one has absolutely symmetrical muscles, because muscles from the dominant side are more used, and that leads to small asymmetries in left side and right side muscle fibers.I really wonder if someone can intervene in that with some techniques,and which are these, and create equal sided muscles.I also wonder if the creation of identical sized muscles on both sizes can enhance, even slightly, the beauty of a face.I think that studies must be made in that direction
what is your opinion on that?

Two teachers at Lenoir City High School use the long summer vacation to ensure they are ready to teach when school starts. The first day of school is a lot more important than most people realize.
"The first day is kind of going to set the tone for the rest of the year," said Melanie Crook, a health sciences teacher at Lenoir City High School.
Teachers anxiously await the school bell every year on the first day.
"I really think I cried every day after school my first year and I thought, 'What have I done?' It was so hard, but I learned students need structure, and now my students are great," said Wendy Miller, another health sciences teacher at Lenoir City High School.
Miller and Crook worked right through the summer this year.
"In my free time, I'm working on curriculum, working on professional development, working on lesson plans," said Crook.
Miller said her summer was just as busy.
"A huge majority of the summer. A huge majority. Because the many of the standards we teach, I did not learn in college. A lot of it. So it's a lot of preparation on our part," said Miller.
It's not just the lesson plans teachers work on. Homey touches, like lamps and flowers, create a better environment and lab supplies enhance the learning experience. These extra touches do cost money and average the cost between Miller and Crook is almost $2,000 per year.
"Sometimes it's not all about being their teacher, but being a mentor and someone that they can go to," said Crook.
The financial burden and energy don't stop after the first day of class. Crook and Miller said several teachers in their school buy yearbooks for seniors who can't afford them or Christmas gifts for those going without.

Dustin Terpening, WSDOT communications, 360-757-5997 (Burlington) Shane Spahr, WSDOT project engineer, 360-757-5856 (Burlington)
CAMANO ISLAND – At more than 60 years old, a stretch of State Route 532 isn't tall enough or strong enough to withstand continued high tides, floods and storms.
"Potentially, all it would take is one strong storm to close the highway," said Shane Spahr, Washington State Department of Transportation project engineer. "It's low and old, and vulnerable during storms."
The highway cuts through tidelands and over Davis Slough between Stanwood and Camano Island. During storms, large amounts of driftwood stack up against the 63-year-old Davis Slough bridge.
"We're talking about the only road on and off Camano Island," Spahr said. "If something happened to the road, there'd be no other way to get off the island."
Plans are in the works to raise and widen SR 532 and replace the Davis Slough Bridge. WSDOT engineers are designing the improvements now and expect to start construction in summer 2013. The highway will be raised 5 to 9 feet and the shoulders, lanes and median will all be widened between Smith and Eide roads, west of the new Camano Gateway Bridge.
Project plans, design visuals and pictures will be on display at a community open house from 4 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 14, at the Camano Center, 606 Arrowhead Road, Camano Island. Engineers will be available to answer questions and provide details about the project. There are no formal presentations planned, and visitors are welcome to show up at any time.
For those unable to attend the open house, additional project information, pictures, contacts and an online comment form are available on the project website, www.wsdot.wa.gov/projects/sr532/DavisSloughBridge.
The meeting site is accessible to persons with disabilities. Accommodations for people with disabilities can be arranged in advance by calling Dustin Terpening at 360-757-5997.

Mel Brooks and Group Flow January 27, 2012Posted by keithsawyer in New research.
Tags: greater good, group flow, mel brooks, sid caesar
What can comedian Mel Brooks teach us about "group flow"?
Group flow is a state of peak performance, when a group is in sync and creative ideas are flowing. I've just published an article in a magazine edited at the University of California, Berkeley, called Greater Good. The article summarizes the ten keys to group flow (as originally presented in my 2007 book Group Genius). Visit the full article or take a quick look at the ten here:
1. A compelling, shared goal
2. Close listening
3. Use "yes, and…" to keep it moving forward
4. Complete concentration and full attention
5. A sense of being in control
6. Blending egos
7. Equal participation
8. Familiarity
9. Constant, spontaneous communication
10. The potential for failure

For decades, scholars and judges have assumed that federal habeas corpus review of state court criminal convictions should focus on the individual rights of habeas petitioners and that the federal courts should ask whether a state prisoner is being unlawfully detained because the state violated his individual federal rights. This individualized approach to federal habeas review is expensive, time-consuming, and woefully ineffective in stopping states from violating defendants' federal rights. Indeed, many states systematically violate criminal defendants' federal rights with impunity. This Article proposes a new conception of federal habeas review under which the federal courts focus on states, not on individual petitioners. Federal habeas relief should be available when, but only when, a state routinely violates its criminal defendants' federal rights as part of a systemic practice. Reconfiguring federal habeas corpus review to focus on states and systemic practices would reduce redundancy, increase efficiency, and be more respectful of state institutions while, at the same time, recovering one of the original and now lost purposes of federal habeas corpus review.

2000 Dodge Intrepid ES Review
1. A steal as a used car! Only paid $12,000 for the Top of the Line ES in 2005.
1. It's large size...my first car was a bit smaller
Great All Around Car! — I've had this car for nearly 3 years and have had no major mechanical problems. The only expensive things were the replacement of the timing belt and water pump at 90,000 and I just got a new belt for the alternator a couple weeks ago. The car is almost at 104,000 (it had 66,000 when I first got it). This is truly the best full size FWD sedan ever made, but unfortunately was replaced by the smaller Charger. There is plenty of passenger space and can seat 5 very comfortably. The security system, sentry key, and engine immobilizer keep your car safe. If you decide to purchase a non ES Intrepid, make sure to have a security system installed because my mom had a 2004 SXT which was stolen (it did not have a security system, just keyless entry) along with many other Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth vehicles in my area.

Good handling, decent performance for its engine size, fairly reliable, good interior/trunk room for the most part. Decent build quality overall, use of hard plastics inside kept to a tasteful minimum.
Legroom tight in passenger front seat. Visibility not so great...plenty of blind spots and hard to see the corners of the car. Trunk opening is a bit small
Good Car Overall, Nice Blend Of Size, Performance, And Economy. — I've had my 2000 Intrepid base model, 2.7, for about 9 1/2 years and 146,000 miles, and it's been a good car so far. It was pretty reliable up to around 2007, when it hit 130,000 miles. I probably put around $2,000 into it that year, which included new front brakes, coolant flush, belts/hoses, the cooling lines that run from the transmission to the radiator (OEM and pretty expensive), two new tires, both front bearing hubs, an a/c recharge, and some other odds and ends that are probably escaping my mind right now. The 2.7 is supposed to be sludge-prone, while the 4-speed automatic is known for dying an early death, but I've had no trouble with either. I try to change the tranny fluid every 30,000 miles. I started off trying to change the oil every 3,000 miles, but slacked off in later years. Every 4500 is probably my average. It's a good handling car, and the tiny 2.7 does a reasonable job of moving the car...you just have to put your foot into it and make it scream a little. This ain't no 440 big-block! For fuel economy, I usually get around the EPA rating...20/29. I have gotten as high as 32 on the highway, in the right conditions...and as low as 16-17 in the winter, in mostly local, short-trip driving. My biggest complaint is probably the legroom on the passenger side front. I'm 6'3", and fit okay behind the wheel, although I could use a bit more room. But it feels like the footwell area is a lot tighter on the passenger side. The few times I've been a passenger in my own car, I've hated it...and prefer the back seat! Decent car overall, and I don't regret buying it. If I could do it over again though, I think I would've sprung for an ES model with the 3.2, and power seats. I hear that the 3.2 gets almost the same economy in the "real world" (not necessarily according to the EPA) yet has a lot more power. Oh, as for ownership costs, I estimate the car has cost about 22 cents per mile, plus gasoline, plus insurance. **Update: On November 18, 2009, with about 150,300 miles on it, someone pulled a hit and run on my 2000 Intrepid in a restaurant parking lot, and the damage was enough to total it. I replaced it with a fully loaded 2000 Buick Park Avenue Ultra that, when new, probably MSRP'ed for around $40K, versus the $20,950 MSRP of the Intrepid. The Park Ave is faster, better-equipped, and roomier than the Intrepid was, but comes up inadequate in handling, braking, build quality, fit and finish, etc. While the Intrepid was a very good ~$20K car, the Park Ave, while it cost about twice as much new, is definitely NOT twice the car! I actually came close to buying another Intrepid when mine got totaled. I had found a well-equipped ES model with the 3.2, leather, sunroof, etc that was fairly low mileage. But, as I'd had my car for 10 years, I wanted to try something new. Still, sometimes I still miss my old Intrepid.

I Love It ! Just Dont Try To Jump Any Thing I Cracked The Oil Pan ( Its Not Like The Movies) — I love my baby! It was built to take on BMW M5s so its fast, large (lots of trunk space) comfortable ( and i gave a 911 a run for its money on HWY 407 before the 50 over law).Its also a great family car. Im sorry i cant say the same about all other intrepids

Performance, Style and Build
Needs better Gas mileage
Fearless R/t — This is an R/T with a 3.5 Liter High Output V6 it has 253 hp with premium gas. This Car is fun to drive and the tires spin easily. Bad gas Mileage though. Nothing major has gone wrong with this car. All I have had to do is regular maintenance. However this year I had to replace and inner and outer tie rod. With 136,589 miles on it, the motor is dying. It still runs for now but its louder than it should be. Except for the motor dying everything else on the car works perfectly

You can make it either fast or luxiorious... or a lil of both lol. Can easily seat 5 people. Many different modifications can be made using stock parts. Suprisingly light weight
The infamous 2.7 and Its just a big car
Mine — Its a great car. Only thing is that the 2.7 is known for leaving people stranded. The 2.7 does an ok job of moving the car. So the extra 50hp from the bigger engines is obviously amazing. When you modify it, you take parts from a 300M Special. Basiclly its a fun car for a big family foor door sedan. Fairly easy to work on for a modern car. It translates over very well to brand new cars in terms of maintenence. It gets fair gas mileage for a car this size.

every thing u look for in a car it has. space good on gas nice size for road trips good interior rides smooth
engine problems and transmission problems around 90,000 miles. hard to find the source of the problem also.
Sucks To Fix The Problems When You Can Pin Point Them. — cheap when buying parts. hard to fix random problems. but a good car when its up and running. huge trunk space. easy to customize if your into that. my only advice is to keep the car maintance at all times.

Good Cheap Car. — It's a good all around car. Generally rides pretty good no matter where I go. Wish i got the 3.5 motor instead of the 2.7 it has for the little more power O.o. It is a good car for stereo cause i can blast my stereo and you can't hear it to much on the outside :D.

2000 Dodge Intrepid Base Review
Pretty great buy for 200 bucks! Make sure you have everything, and the big stuff like lifts and stands, also have moderate experience before you rip one of these suckers apart.
Kinda handles like a boat around turns but it is really great in snow. the slight angle the car sits at makes the front dip down and makes it a little prone to scraping if I hit deep bumps or raised speed bumps. Just gotta learn to drive different with it and keep aware of the road conditions and parking lot conditions.
Pretty Decent For An All Around Functionality Car. It's An Ok Commuter Car And Has A Smooth Ride. — Got this beast with a rod knock on the 5th cylinder. 2.7L. Seems like the previous owner didn't change their oil. I know of the "bad oiling" crap people say about these but it's not a bad car. I picked up a crankshaft rebuild kit, pulled the motor and threw it back in after i rebuilt the engine in a week and it runs perfect now. The new replacement bearings they sell for these had upgraded oil passages, they were classified as new oem. advance sells the reman crank with all bearings for about 208.00 if you use the online coupon through the advance auto website. only needed 1 connecting rod and those run 45.00 a piece reman. you can tell when a connecting rod is bad if you test it with green plasti gauge, or see that its out of round. I highly suggest running synthetic in these cars due to slightly increased heat in the bay from the cats being so close to the engine and slightly narrow stock oil passages. has a huge trunk and the back seat is huge too ; ) great for parkin' if you got tinted windows! This thing pulls pretty good for being a large car. i thought the 220 hp would be watered down but it runs the road great and i can even burn out with this thing.

Coronation Street star William Roache is standing trial accused of committing historic sexual offences against five girls.
The 81-year-old veteran soap star was arrested at his home in Wilmslow, Cheshire, last May and later charged with two counts of raping a 15-year-old girl in Rossendale in 1967.
A month later he was additionally charged with five indecent assaults involving four girls aged 16 and under, allegedly committed in the Manchester area between 1965 and 1971.
Mr Roache denies all the allegations
Dean Kirby is at Preston Crown Court covering the proceedings.
I'm back at Preston Crown Court for the second day of the William Roache trial. The prosecution case is expected to resume at 10.30am.
Proceedings are now underway in a packed No.1 court at Preston Crown Court.
One of the complainants in the case has begun giving evidence from the witness box.
The witness, who cannot be named for legal reasons, tells the court she went to Granada Studios as a teenager in the 1960s to enter a talent competition.
She tells the court how afterwards she and a friend 'went exploring' around the studio. 'We just went down corridors looking for anyone of interest,' she says.
She says they ended up in a dressing room with William Roache and another Coronation Street actor.
She says she and her friend were 'excited' to be in the company of famous people. She claims Mr Roache took her by the arm and pulled her into a men's toilet.
The witness says William Roache used her hand to perform a sex act on himself. She says: 'It was outside my experience. I was shocked and didn't understand. The only thing I thoroughly understood was that I shouldn't be in the gent's toilet."
She says Mr Roache afterwards asked how he could contact her and she left her address. She says: "I was on autopilot. I was following instructions. I was bewildered."
She said she and her friend were left in the dressing room afterwards. She said: "I felt ashamed. I still didn't understand."
The court hears she later received a letter from Mr Roache.
The letter allegedly said: "I am away for three weeks, but I would like a letter from you when I get back."
A signed photograph was included and the note also said "write to me when you start school again", it was heard.
The witness says: "I was just flattered by the attention. I didn't understand some of it."
She says she later went back to the studio by arrangement. The witness tells the court that after touring the Coronation Street set and seeing the Rover's Return, William Roache gave her a lift in his car, then pulled over and parked up.
She then tells how Mr Roache asked her when she would be 16 and said: "I wouldn't do it properly until you're 16."
She says she does not have a clear recollection of whether a sex act took place in the car, but adds: "Because of what was said in that conversation, I think it was referring to what had just happened."
The witness then told that Mr Roache dropped her off near her home.
The witness says she later told people she used to "go out" with William Roache and had believed they had been in a relationship.
She says: "In my mind it was a relationship. I was an impressionable teenage girl."
She says she has never told anyone about the alleged sexual contact.
Asked why she contacted the police, the alleged victim says: "I felt I had information to confirm that his inclination was towards young girls."
After a short break, the witness is now being cross-examined by Mr Roache's barrister Louise Blackwell QC.
The witness is being asked to describe her route through Granada Studios during her first visit. She says: "There seemed to be a network of corridors. One corridor just seemed to lead to others. I don't remember anything remarkable that stuck in my mind about them."
She says she and a friend were 'exploring' the studios and adds: "It would have been obvious that we were not supposed to be there."
She says she cannot remember exactly how she ended up in the dressing room with Mr Roache.
The witness says: "We headed straight to the washroom."
She says she cannot remember anything being said but remembers Mr Roache putting his hand on hers and then performing the alleged sex act over the sink.
She says: "It was over 50 years ago and a lot of things about that day are not clear."
The witness adds: "I was bewildered - shocked. It was something I didn't fully understand."
She says Mr Roache also kissed her before she was "bundled out" of the room.
She says Mr Roache told her to leave her address so he could contact her.
Asked why she left her address, she says: "I had been told to. I had been asked for information about how he could contact me. I was probably in shock. I was doing what I was told."
The jury has now retired for lunch and the prosecution case will resume at 2pm.
The prosecution case has now resumed. The same witness is giving evidence about the second time she visited Granada Studios. She says she remembers seeing the interior set of the Rover's Return.
The witness says Mr Roache picked her up in his car.
She says she cannot remember a sex act taking place in the car, but believes it did happen because of the conversation it is claimed they had in the car.
She says: "I think it did happen because of the conversation that we had."
Mr Roache's barrister Louise Blackwell QC suggests to the witness there are some "alarming lapses" in her memory of events.
The witness says: "No. I don't agree. I'm telling the truth. I'm not making it up. I have no reason to."
The court is now taking a short break and the evidence will resume at 3pm.
The first witness has now finished her evidence. A second witness who it is alleged was also a victim of an indecent assault by William Roache has now begun giving evidence.
The witness says she was in a ladies' toilet at Granada Studios aged 16 when Mr Roache walked in behind her. She says: "I was aware of somebody right behind me. As I turned around, he was there. I couldn't move." She says Mr Roache pinned her against the wall and put his hand up her jumper.
The witness says: "I was in complete shock - absolute shock. I was really upset about it. I was really cross about him touching my new bra. I remember that.
The witness says she told her husband years later that William Roache was a "dirty old man". Mr Roache's barrister Louise Blackwell QC tells her that Mr Roache denies that the incident in the toilet took place. The witness tells the court: "I would expect him to say exactly that.
The witness says she must have been watching Coronation Street about 20 years ago when she told her husband that Mr Roache had followed her into a toilet at Granada Studios. She also told friends about it more recently over a meal
The second witness has finished her evidence. Her husband is now being called to the witness stand.
The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, says his wife was "angry and upset" when she told him in 1988 about the alleged incident involving Mr Roache. He says: "It was anger more than anything." He says that she told him Mr Roache pinned her against the wall and that he was "a dirty old man". He says they have discussed the alleged incident at least six times over the years.
Mr Roache's barrister says to the man: "None of us can know whether that conversation took place between you and your wife in 1988." The man say: "No. That's why I took an oath to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth." His evidence has now come to an end.
The jury has now been sent home for the day. The prosecution case will continue tomorrow morning.

Who says there is no such thing as a free lunch? Many of the animals at Brookfield Zoo are just about to get access to all they can eat.
Brookfield Zoo is no exception as the 17-year brood of cicadas emerges from the ground all over Chicagoland. Many of the insects will awake to a nightmare as they surface to find sloth bears, ostriches, brown bears---and zookeepers ---waiting to turn them into tasty treats. In fact, most of the animals in outdoor enclosures are likely to indulge in a cicada snack. Some, like the sloth bears who have torn up their yard and trees in search of insects, will likely gorge until they can eat no more. And keepers will make sure that the indoor insectivores (bug-eaters) get a taste too!
Zoo nutritionists and vets have concluded that the cicadas make a nutritious meal for insectivores at the zoo, so keepers have begun to harvest the bug bounty. Cicadas are high in protein and low in fat—so cicadas will be given to the animals both frozen and live. The novelty is great behavioral enrichment for the animals too, since the "cicada invasion" only happens every 17 years.
"We are leveraging a natural event," says Tim Sullivan, Behavioral Husbandry Manager. "It is exciting for the animals. Letting them hunt cicadas is a great way to give the animals that live inside a taste of the outdoors."
"And for the animals outside, we just have to monitor to be sure they do not eat too many cicadas!"
Plenty of animals will get a taste of the action. Animals that will be given cicadas include:
Animals outdoors that will likely find their own are:
Guinea baboons
African Wild Dogs
Mexican gray wolves
Sloth bear
Brown bear
Spectacled bear
Inside Tropic World:
Cotton-top tamarins
Golden lion tamarins
Capuchin monkeys
Spider monkeys

No Deliveries, please...
On your next visit, watch for animals getting their own free lunch. While we know that everyone will have plenty of cicadas, Chicago Zoological Society staff are pretty picky about what the animals consume and will only use cicadas found by staff on zoo grounds. Please do not bring extra cicadas for the animals.

Frost & Sullivan Recognizes Anritsu For Its Robust Growth, Outpacing Key Competitors In The Global T&M Market
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Jan. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of the test and measurement (T&M) market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Anritsu Corporation (Anritsu) with the 2012 Global Frost & Sullivan Award for Company of the Year. Anritsu's growth strategy, focused on increasing competitiveness through product innovation, enhancing customer support, and developing stronger relationships with customers, has paid off and resulted in a stronger competitive position for the company in the global T&M industry.
"Over the past 12 to 18 months, Anritsu's T&M business has witnessed significant growth, mainly from the performance of its mobile sub-segment that serves the needs of the growing smartphone and tablet manufacturing, and LTE R&D markets," said Jessy Cavazos, industry director for Frost & Sullivan's Test & Measurement group. "The company's T&M revenue increased by 27.6 percent from June 2011 to 2012 over the previous 12-month period, while its key competitors witnessed much lower growth overall for their T&M business. Anritsu's continued focus on innovation and enhancing customer value is bound to fuel its growth in the future as well."
One factor contributing to the company's success in the mobile sub-segment was its one-box tester for the UE manufacturing market, with comprehensive 2G to 4G/LTE coverage. Anritsu's performance was boosted by the product development efforts it made while the market was transitioning from 3G to 4G/LTE. While other competitors had to rethink their platforms, it was a smooth upgrade path for Anritsu. In fact, Frost & Sullivan estimates the company's mobile segment's revenue to have reached more than $400 million in the four quarters ending in June 2012, which is about twice the revenue generated in the previous four quarters ending June 2011.
"Anritsu exceeded all of its major management indicators, including sales and operating margin, a year ahead of schedule, prompting it to come up with new medium- and long-term business plans," noted Cavazos. "The mobile segment will remain the backbone of Anritsu's new plans in which it aims to not only evolve its current solutions, but also introduce new products and target new markets in line with its core competencies."
