The 2011 Esquire Car of the Year Preview: Design and Technology Awards
Nine ingeniously engineered and gorgeous acts of automotive guts and grace. A perfect warm-up for the big prize, which we'll present soon.
By Sam Smith
Most Impossible Performance-to-Price Ratio: 2012 Nissan GT-R
Two-point-nine seconds — that's how long it takes the 530-hp Nissan GT-R to reach 60 mph. For reference, this is roughly half a second slower than the 1,001-hp, million-dollar Bugatti Veyron, a feat that should be impossible at the GT-R's $90,000 price. The Nissan accomplishes this trick through a complex drivetrain-management system, one that watches everything from tire slip to the health of the transmission's clutches. Thus equipped, it can rip off eye-watering launches all day long without wearing out or asking anything of you — a landmark intersection of low price and insane capability. The automotive media calls the car Godzilla. Catchy, but in the interest of accuracy, we prefer Asian Trebuchet of Time-Zone-Leaping Madness. Or maybe just Sir.

LaserJet P1505n printer: How do I change the hostname from NPI1BDC68 to something more meaninful?
The hostname of my network printer, an HP LaserJet P1505n, is set to NPI1BDC68. Is this hardwired or is there a way for me to change it? Attempts to solve: Manuals have been reviewed, Forum questions have been searched, google general search conducted. I'm running Win XP and a Mac Pro with OS X 10.6.8.
This question was solved. View Solution.
Re: LaserJet P1505n printer: How do I change the hostname from NPI1BDC68 to something more meaninful
Well, that took me 10 minutes to solve. I found the answer on an HP site based in France. (I changed my google query a bit and tried again.) The site asks on first access if you'd like to continue in English, thankfully. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam
In short, using Internet Explorer or Safari, browse to your network printer's IP address. For Win XP users, you can determine the IP address using, Start/Printers and Faxes/(select printer)/properties/ports tab/select printer again/configure port button/second field down shows the IP address.
Once connected to the networking sub-system of the printer, select the networking tab. The hostname is the first field that can be changed. Enter a new name from 1-15 characters. Hint: It doesn't like spaces. Underscores work though and the new name can be mixed case. Press Apply button at bottom of screen when done. Warning appears that access to printer may need to be changed if IP address was changed. Acknowledge the warning. Printer goes offline for a few seconds. Page refreshes automatically and new hostname can be confirmed by inspection.

(Part 2 of a three part series)
Under No Child Left Behind, America had no strategy for teaching beginning reading that anyone could articulate or achieve. Common Core State Standards can now correct that problem by adopting a Spiral Staircase model for beginning reading. In Part 1 of this series we explored the failure of the 1997 National Reading Panel's "five big ideas" to be integrated into a model of literacy. Even today no one can explain the "Isolated Skills Floating in Space" model adopted by No Child Left Behind and punctuated by ten years of reading failures. Now Common Core State Standards and a Spiral Staircase model provide hope for grade-level reading proficiency, guidance for educators, potential for better funding and publishing policy, and possibility for achieving rigorous standards.

Just days ago in his annual State of the Union address, President Obama said 'the best thing we could do on taxes for all Americans is to simplify the individual tax code'. The President stated he was prepared to work with the Congress in this effort. I couldn't agree more. For a number of years now I have introduced bipartisan legislation, the Tax Code Termination Act, to abolish our current tax code. My legislation, which I recently introduced in this new Congress, can be the impetus for overhauling and simplifying our tax system.

I would like to share some very positive news on our continuing efforts to fix what's broken at Arlington National Cemetery.
It was last June when many of us first heard about Arlington's reliance on paper records and maps, and the systemic disorganization and shameful errors that inevitably resulted. I think all of us were especially shocked and appalled to learn about dozens of instances of misplaced or misidentified remains at the cemetery.
In Richmond this week, the House and Senate moved closer to the halfway point of the General Assembly session, and prepared for the unveiling of their competing budget plans. It was the week before Crossover, and temperatures outside varied from the freezing mark to the high sixties in a single week.
By the time Crossover, the midpoint of the legislative session, occurs on February 8, both houses must complete their work on bills submitted by their own members. As a result, floor sessions get longer as the week progresses.
This past Sunday marked the 100th anniversary of the birth of America's 40th president, Ronald Wilson Reagan.
To American conservatives, Reagan is a demigod, a hero beyond question with great achievements that represent everything they still hold dear: cutting taxes, a strong military, and promoting conservative "social values."
We have a big election year ahead, and I'm not talking about 2012.
he House of Delegates unanimously passed a bill that could help our veterans who are running into legal problems because of post-traumatic stress disorder and other brain injuries. Eighteen other states have already taken similar measures with good success.

It is no secret that the American people are facing a very tough economic climate. Our economy remains sluggish, people fear losing their jobs and their homes, and many are worried about the future their children and grandchildren will inherit. They are deeply concerned about the outlook for our great country and wonder if their children will grow up in the same America they did. People are looking for real solutions to the problems we face.
This week at the Capitol, the deadline for filing bills passed, the General Assembly continued its work on a wide range of legislation, and the weather ranged from frigid to wet to frigid again. It's another week in Richmond, as we near the halfway mark of the 46-day session.
I'd been hearing these reports that former U.S. Senator George Allen was considering seeking his old job again. But surely, I thought, he's found something else to do with himself, and knows that people haven't forgotten that infamous word he uttered in 2006.
It looks like I was wrong on both counts. Grab your seat belt; Allen is back. He announced last week, over the Internet, that he will again be a candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2012.

George R. R. Martin's Epic Charity Campaign Going Strong
Who better to raise money for a wolf sanctuary than the resurrector of direwolves himself, George R. R. Martin? And what better way to encourage donations than to offer fans a chance to die at the author's hands like so many of their beloved characters (not to mention the dozens of extras who died during last night's half-hour battle)?
So far, over $300,000 has been raised by Martin's four-day-old campaign to support the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary and The Food Depot of Santa Fe, and two people have already won the highest honor (their very own grisly deaths being written into the next book) by each donating $20,000 to the cause. But if you couldn't quite afford such a hefty sum, fret not!
With just over $150,000 to go before Martin's $500,000 goal is met, there are still some epic prizes up for grabs as of this writing, including a hand-written thank-you note ($1,200 donation), a signed and dedicated Game of Thrones book ($600 donation), and T-shirts and other memorabilia for smaller donations. Plus, each donor is automatically entered to win the grand prize: a helicopter ride to the wolf sanctuary with the famed author himself. Martin describes the future excursion this way: Read more

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
FOR COMMENT: Mexico Security Memo 100118 - 1
Released on 2013-02-13 00:00 GMT
|2010-01-18 18:41:47
Federal Police Take Over Chihuahua Counter-Narcotics Operation
The government of Mexico relieved the Mexican Army of its command of Joint
Operations Chihuahua and replaced it with Coordinated Operation Chihuahua
headed by the Federal Police in Chihuahua state, January 13. The federal
government also sent 2000 Federal Police personnel to Ciudad Juarez
earlier in the week as reinforcements for the new operation. The head of
the Federal Police, Facundo Rosas Rosas, stated that the decision to hand
over control of the Mexican government's counter-narcotics operations in
Chihuahua state was reached after a thorough systematic review of the
situation in Chihuahua by all three branches of government. This
transition represents a major step in the progression of Mexican President
Felip Calderon's Federal Police reforms that were passed in late 2008 and
his strategy to relieve the military of law enforcement duties.
Federal Police have reportedly already assumed all the law enforcement
roles in the northern Chihuahua urban regions of Juarez, Villa Ahumada and
Nuevo Casas Grandes to include patrols, investigations, surveillance
operations and operation of the emergency 066 call center for Juarez
(equivalent to a 911 center in the US). The military will now be
primarily charged with patrolling and monitoring the vast expanses of
rural desert to stem the flow of narcotics through remote border
These changes in duties and environment better reflect both security
entities' training and capabilities. The Federal Police are better suited
to operate in an urban environment and have specific training in how to
interact and handle the Mexican civilian population. At the same any
security operation in the rural desert environment is best handled by the
Mexican military as their training and equipment are best suited to for
that theater of operation.
Calderon had previously state that he would continue to use the Mexican
military as the primary tool to fight the on-going war against the cartels
as recently as Nov 2009. However, there has been mounting pressure and
criticism over Calderon's use of the military in a law enforcement
capacity due to the close proximity it brings Mexico's armed forces to its
civilian population. The use of the military in this capacity has not
been the first choice for Calderon but it was simply the best option
available at the time as the Federal Police ranks were notoriously
corrupt. For Calderon it has been a waiting game until now as to how long
it would be until the Federal Police reforms had taken effect and the
newly vetted and trained force would be ready to take over as the primary
force used in the war against the cartels.
As more and more Federal Police cadets become vetted and trained active
duty agents, similar changes in command can be expected in the several
joint counter-narcotics operations currently underway throughout the
Another Kingpin Arrest
Eduardo Teodoro "El Teo" Garcia Simental was arrested at a residence in La
Paz, Baja California Sur state, Jan. 12. Federal Police launched a raid
on the residence at approximately 6:00 a.m. that involved the use of 50
agents, two helicopters, and four busses. The operation was the
culmination of a three month long intelligence and law enforcement
operation that tracked the movements of the cartel leader. Several of El
Teo's top lieutenants were arrested in the previous weeks leading up to
the arrest of El Teo and intelligence gathered from the previous raids and
the debriefing of the detainees likely led authorities to the location of
El Teo.
El Teo was the leader of a faction of the Arellano Felix Organization
(AFO) (also known as the Tijuana cartel) that had split from the core of
the AFO in April of 2008 after Fernando "El Ingeniero" Sanchez Arellano
was chosen to head the cartel after the arrest AFO leader, Benjamin
Arellano Felix. El Teo reportedly joined forces with long time AFO rival
Joaquin "El Chapo"Guzman Loera's Sinaloa cartel in an attempt to take
control of the Tijuana drug trafficking corridor.
Garcia Simental was an instigator for much of the violence seen in the
Tijuana region over the past two years. At least 600 murders and
executions can be directly traced back to Garcia Simental himself or from
orders given by the kingpin. Most notable is Garcia Simental's tactic of
dissolving bodies of rivals in caustic substances. Garcia Simental was
also the source for the majority of kidnapping and extortion activity that
took place throughout the Tijuana metro area.
Garcia Simental's arrest, as well as those of his top lieutenants, is most
significant for the security situations in the Baja region of Mexico;
however, Gracia Simental's influence outside this region is minimal and
his arrest is unlikely to be felt outside of it. Additionally, the flow
of narcotics through the Tijuana corridor has been significantly reduced
in recent years due to heavy interdiction efforts by US and Mexican
authorities and Garcia Simental's arrests will likely have little effect
on what little narcotics do flow through this region.

What Will Be Clear After Death
When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne. They cried out with a loud voice, "O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been. (Rev 6:9-11)
On this side of death, there are seasons wherein we struggle to maintain confidence in an all-present, all-powerful, all-knowing God who reigns supreme with perfect power and complete authority.
On this side of death, there are stormy days and nights that threaten to overwhelm our feeble grasps on the anchor of a God who is beyond reproach in his holiness and love.
On this side of death, there are heartbreaking moments that shake the very foundations of our faith in a God who is true and worthy of trust.
On this side of death, believers have no choice but to walk by faith (2 Cor 5:7).

Biden implores Israel, Palestinians to make peace
The Israelis and Palestinians agreed this week to resume indirect peace talks through U.S. mediation, ending a 14-month breakdown in negotiations. Biden stressed, however, that "the only path" to resolving the conflict is through direct negotiations.
"The most important thing is for these talks to go forward and go forward promptly," he said. "We can't delay."
The Palestinians seek the West Bank and east Jerusalem - areas captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war - as parts of a future state, along with the Gaza Strip.
Netanyahu has signaled he wants to keep parts of the West Bank along with east Jerusalem under Israeli control. Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, and the territory was subsequently overrun by Hamas militants.
In his speech, Biden outlined the contours of what the U.S. believes should be a final settlement. He said a Palestinian state must be based on the pre-1967 borders, with some modifications and strong guarantees for Israel's security.
He acknowledged the formidable obstacles that remain: the Hamas presence in Gaza, the continued captivity of an Israeli soldier in Gaza, the strength of Hezbollah guerrillas to Israel's north in Lebanon, and ongoing Palestinian incitement against Israel. He said such challenges are strong reminders of Israel's security concerns. As Biden wrapped up his visit Thursday, Palestinian militants fired a rocket from the Gaza Strip that landed in an abandoned warehouse in southern Israel. No one was injured in the attack.
But he also urged Israel to embrace the moderate Palestinian leadership in the West Bank, with whom he met on Wednesday.
"Israeli leaders finally have willing partners who share the goal of peace," Biden said. "Their commitment to peace is an opportunity that must be seized."

It is 2014, not 1964 or 1914, and yet on Wednesday night a black man in Missouri, a black man convicted by an all-white jury, was executed before his federal appeals had been exhausted. He was executed just moments after reportedly being hauled away by prison guards while he was in the middle of a telephone call discussing his appeals with one of his attorneys. He was executed even though state officials knew that the justices of the United States Supreme Court still were considering his request for relief.
Asked repeatedly not to execute Smulls while appeals were pending, state officials failed even to respond to emails from defense attorneys that night while corrections officials went ahead with the execution. Smulls thus was pronounced dead four minutes before the Supreme Court denied his final stay request. This was not an accident or some bureaucratic misunderstanding and did not come as a surprise to Smulls' lawyers. They say it was the third straight execution in Missouri in which corrections officials went ahead with lethal injection before the courts were through with the condemned man's appeals.*
Just last month, for example, Missouri officials similarly executed a man named Allen Nicklasson before his appeals were concluded. That timing of that execution prompted a federal appeals court judge, 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Kermit Bye, to declare that he was "alarmed" that Missouri proceeded with its execution "before this court had even finished voting on Nicklasson's request for a stay. In my near fourteen years on the bench, this is the first time I can recall this happening."
Below are some of the emails sent Wednesday night from Smulls' attorneys to state lawyers as the deadline drew near for the expiration of the death warrant authorizing their client's execution. Over and over again, the defense tried to impress upon state officials the need to wait for the judicial process to play out before executing Smulls:
Such frantic communication from defense attorneys to state officials is not uncommon in the hours leading up to an execution-- the state, after all, has the body of the man it seeks to execute (literally, habeas corpus). What is striking here, though, is not just that state lawyers failed or refused even to respond to Smulls' attorneys but that these officers of the court, and corrections officials, essentially divested the Supreme Court of jurisdiction by killing the litigant.
The timeline is everything here. Before 10:00 that night, Smulls's attorney notified state officials that there were active pending appeals at the both the Supreme Court and the 8th Circuit. "Do not execute Mr. Smulls while claims for legal relief and stay are pending," the defense attorneys pleaded with opposing counsel. There was no email response from Missouri's lawyers, Smulls' attorney Cheryl Pilate told me Friday. There was instead a single telephone call, much earlier in the evening, in which a state attorney acknowledge the existence of a stay (before filing to have that stay removed).
At 10:11, the final lethal injection protocols were initiated. By this time, the 8th Circuit had rejected all of the claims before it—over another pointed dissent from Judge Bye—leaving only an active appeal before the Supreme Court. At 10:20 Smulls was pronounced dead. Ten minutes later, at 10:30, the Supreme Court notified the lawyers that Smulls' final stay request had been denied at 10:24. This means that Missouri began to execute a man 13 minutes before it was entirely sure it could do so. Smulls was pronounced dead four minutes before the Supreme Court finally authorized Missouri to kill him.
Via email Friday, I asked state attorneys to comment upon the emails they received from defense attorneys and Missouri's evident lack of response to them. I asked them to explain their rationale in proceeding with the execution knowing the justices still had the case. Through a spokeswoman, late Friday, they responded:
The law is clear: the pendency of litigation is insufficient to stop an execution. Barefoot v. Estelle, 463 U.S. 880, 895-96 (1983). The legal mechanism for a federal court to stop an execution is a court-ordered stay. On January 29, 2014, the State of Missouri directly asked the United States Supreme Court if the execution of Mr. Smulls should be stopped. The Court said no three times that day prior to execution, lifting all stays.
Attorneys for the State were in contact with the clerks of both the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals and the United States Supreme Court throughout the evening of the execution. Both courts were aware that the execution would proceed once all stays had been lifted. No stay of execution was in effect at time of the execution.
Counsel for the State spoke to Ms. Pilate after the United States Supreme Court vacated the first two stays on the evening of January 29. Her subsequent emails, sent after the United States Supreme Court vacated the final stay, simply reiterated her demand that the State halt the lawful execution of her client but contained no legal authority for her demand (emphasis in original).
Some legal experts agree with that view. They contend that, at some point, the appellate process is over and that a man set for execution ought to be executed. This view posits that any other approach would give defense attorneys the power to pile appeal upon appeal in an effort to postpone the implementation of a death warrant. But this is not a universal view. Some death penalty advocates I spoke with on Friday say that state officials have an affirmative duty not to proceed with an execution if they know a Supreme Court appeal is pending. Clearly, Judge Bye, a veteran jurist, agrees with the latter approach.

Having been an insulin defendant diabetic for 57 years as well as an affection ado of root beer I can't say how happy I was to come across Frostop Diet Root Beer. It's the best diet root beer by far that I've found. Approaches the taste of non diet root beers.
Thick, creamy, stands up well to ice cream, it's got a complex, delicious taste to it. Traces of licorice, if I am not mistaken. Just the BEST !
Problem is that it's almost impossible to find. One hardware stocks it around here, and it lasts about ten minutes. DAMN !

am a Consulting Archivist, Genealogist, and writer. I took a short trip in 2000 to the Louvre Museum in Paris that changed the direction of my life and lead me to the University of Illinois at Chicago where I earned a BA in Art History with a Certificate in Museum Studies. Since 2006, I've worked as a Consulting Archivist in a wide variety of Archives from Shure, Inc. to the Union League Club of Chicago. It was there that my interest in genealogy was resurrected as I assisted researchers in their efforts to locate information about their relatives in the ULCC's collection.
omeone recently asked me the question, "Is it OK for me to store my material in metal file cabinet?" The greatest threat to the material we, as family historians and genealogists, have is the environment in which it is kept. My answer was this: it's not (necessarily) the metal cabinet that's the problem, it's what the material is in inside the cabinet that is most likely a stronger threat. Those wonderful green Pendaflex folders that no filing cabinet can live without are most definitely NOT what you want to be storing anything of historic value in. They may be fine for temporary use, but protecting and preserving material is really all about chemistry. So, the dye and adhesive used in those folders emit gases that seep into surrounding material, slowly degrading and decomposing it. Plastic simply compounds this problem. I've seen people wrap books, journals, and scrapbooks in plastic bags to 'protect' them. Trouble is, again, the bag emits gases that assist in the decomposition of the paper.
hat's the solution? Acid free storage. Whether it's folders or boxes, acid free storage mitigates the chemical decomposition of paper caused by other materials. You may have seen paper termed 'buffered' in archival supply catalogs or websites. The buffering agent added to the paper material neutralizes the acid in lower quality paper that speeds its decomposition. By separating papers of differing qualities, and putting pieces of buffered paper in between sheets of highly acidic paper, such as newspaper, they become more stable and thus survive longer. If you don't have a choice but to use a metal file cabinet, remove the infrastructure for hanging folders and store the acid free folders upright. If it doesn't have a clamp for holding things in place, a metal or glass bookend works wonders to hold the folders upright.
e don't live in a perfect world. However, there are plenty of small steps that you can take to make your genealogical collection more stable. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com, on Twitter, or on Facebook.

BLOUNT COUNTY, Tenn. (WVLT) - Families and friends remembered 16-year-old Amelia Keown and 45-year-old John Perkins Wednesday after a head-on collision that killed both Tuesday afternoon.
Investigators believe Perkins was heading north on Highway 411 near Binfield Rd. when his 1999 Chrysler Sebring convertible crossed the turn lane into oncoming traffic. His car struck Garton's 1999 Ford Taurus.
The investigating trooper reported he had clocked Perkins at 73 mph and was trying to turn around before the crash, according to THP spokesperson Dalya Qualls.
Perkins was rushed to UT Medical Center where he was pronounced dead at 2:00 a.m.
Both drivers were wearing seat belts at the time of the crash.
"She was the light of the world. She had a smile that no matter what room, it lit up the entire room. She loved life," said family friend Raeleen Harnes.
Harnes said Amanda was headed home to get her forgotten pom poms for dance class at the time of the accident.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol ordered a toxicology report. It's still awaiting the results, but it said it's very unlikely there will be any charges since both drivers are deceased.

Summon Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon easier for Yu-Gi-Oh! The Eternal Duelist SoulHome / GameBoy Advance /
This page contains Yu-Gi-Oh! The Eternal Duelist Soul Hints for GameBoy Advance called "Summon Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon easier" and has been posted or updated on Oct 8, 2006 by princesszelda88. Let us know what you think of this Hint by thumbs voting.
- Developer: KCEJ
- Publisher: Konami
- Genre: Miscellaneous Card Battle
- Release Date: Oct 15, 2002
- ESRB: Everyone
Summon Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon easier
First, put Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon in your deck. Then, put a Cyber Stein in your deck and duel. When you draw Cyber Stein, make sure you have much more than 5000 LP, then play it. Next, press A on the Cyber Stein and select "Activate". You will lose 5000 LP, which is a small price to pay to special summon Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon.
You need a Monster Reborn and a Magic Jammer. When you activate the Magic Jammer card, discard the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon, then use a Monster Reborn to get it back on the field, with no cards getting sacrificed.
Have a deck with a Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Ring Of Magnetism, and a Sword Of Deep-Seated. Summon the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and use both the Ring Of Magnetism and the Sword Of Deep-Seated. If any of your opponent's monsters attack the Blue-Eyes White Dragon it will destroy itself while losing life points. Note: If your opponent uses a magic card to destroy the magic cards, this trick will not work.
Have a Lord of D. and three Blue-Eyes White Dragons out on the field. Do the same thing to one of the dragons and your opponent has one monster card in attack mode. You can use the other three monsters to attack his/her life points.

Toyota Tundra New Owner Reports
The computor is programmed at the factory ---not by you!! Why in the world would Toyota spend the time and money to program a computor only to have you re-program it? I think that rep has a BIG shovel and I hope he is wearing boots. "Learns your driving habit"---boy that's a good one. Have you made them take you or you take them out in a couple new ones to see if they all do this? Mine doesn't "chatter" when I down shift going down hill--maybe there is something wrong with mine ---OR--my computor is a faster learner than yours as mine only has a 1000 + miles on it. BTW--is your's a 5.7? :P
linhebe Posts: 1I'm searching for an 07 Tundra Crew Cab in the MA/NH area. After driving an hour to Manchester NH we found that the 26 postings for the crew cab on their site were really for the double cab. I have been looking for different incentives as well and only find the option of $1500 cash back OR 0% financing. How are some of you getting the $5000 off? Is this an incentive or just something the dealer can offer? Hoping to find a tundra soon!!! Thanks!
Sorry to hear about your dealings. I have heard of similar situations by others. I guess I have been fortunate with my salesperson. Did you end up in Brockville or Cobourg? I used one of them to get my price down to a manageable point when making my deal.
I trust you let Toyota know of your experience, sometimes heads get too big.
bugchucker Posts: 118To clarify, I get a pause when I hit the gas to accelerate. This is normal, not a problem! Normal mode has VSC and TRAC active. The TRAC brakes the engine when you accelerate to maintain stability. Briefly press the VSC Off button turns TRAC off and Auto LSD is active. You can press VSC Off a second time and hold for 3-5 seconds and turn it all off. The above is true in 2WD mode only. It is a little confusing, hitting "VSC Off" button does not put VSC off unless you hit the button twice!
wildwest1 Posts: 1I have a loaded '07 Tundra DC Limited with XM satellite radio through the navigation system. I activated the XM a couple of weeks ago and whenever I listen to it, it sounds like its being played through a tin-can. However, when I play normal radio or CD, the system sounds great. Is this normal or is there a problem with the XM connection (I'm not sure if XM is now factory or dealer installed) or the Nav. system. Any advice before I take it to the dealer.
btw... love the truck otherwise.
Delivery is end of August at new dealership.
The new price I worked out is $500 better than before.
($47144 Can vs $47600 Can out the door).
What kind of deal did you workout?
As to complaint I'm stilling putting details together on screwing around I got at local dealer.Then I'll file a complaint. One remaining piece as to what took place is still needs to be answered.
You know when I replied to your computer deal and it having to learn your driving habits---well I may of been wrong when I said that was "bull". I can't believe that I was incorrect--but---I have since learned that computers "do" learn your driving habits. I don't know how long it takes but that seems to be the case in BMW's and the like. As for my "drive line slop" that I initially reported--it "seems" to be getting better---I don't want to get my hopes up but it does seem to be going away. I can't remember who said that it wasn't a problem, but to me it was. It was annoying and it took away from all the other niceties about the "Toyo Ton". :blush:
I purchased a Tundra 4X2 DC SR5 5.7L last Saturday on a Toyota dealer web site promotion. It was a first come first come basis. The sticker price was $30,679.53 and I purchased it outright with no trade cash for $22,500 adding only state tax. It was the color silver I wanted with the Michelin tires I wanted. I am hoping Southeast Toyota Distributers will change out the Bridgestone spare that came installed for the Michelin as on the four main wheels. So far MPG is 17.5 to 18 driving 55 to 65 MPH on secondary highways. The only thing we are not fond of are the recessed instruments that are especially hard to read in bright sunlight. I would actually like a digital speedometer as on our 08 Scion XB. I can not understand why they recessed the instruments so far back. If my wife is driving I cant see how fast she is going from the right seat. She has a lead foot!
what is the dealership name. where is it located. was the 22500 included the rebate of 3500 bucks. i am having a hard time bying one for 24500 and i want to keep my rebate. yea i am not fond of the resessed instruments either. edmunds says that the tundra is 24k. i am willing to pay them 500 over that price including tax, tag, and title but no dealer is taking the deal yet. i am going to wait them out. maybe toyota will have a 5000 rebate like the 2007 nissan titans have. please let me know i you got to keep the rebate and do what you want with it. i know most dealers try to make there deal with the rebate included. i keep telling them it is not there money. it is mine to either get in a check or use it as a downpayment. man they hate it when i say that cause they expect most people to let them control what they do with our rebate. take care....kev
The DC 5.7 I purchased was listed by an Orlando Toyota dealer on a first come first served basis where they will not hold the truck but you must come in person before someone else buys it. This is the second Toyota I have purchased from this dealership in the last two years. Frankly I told my wife when we drove the 50 miles it probably would be gone. They of course dont expect many buyers to walk into the dealership and buy without a trade and pay cash(check)etc. This way they do not have the opportunity to make extra money by offering a lower trade in or commission on the loan. I feel fortunate that this time in my life Im able to buy this way. This dealership in general has treated me well with my two purchases. I feel that I should not use this dealerships name but they are easy to find. Hope you get a good deal as I have. In this area with discounts of 7 to 8k, I dont see how discounts could get much higher and in fact could drop back some depending on inventories as has happened past years. What is unusual is the high discounts so soon after an introduction by Toyota. Of course state tax must be paid on the Toyota factory rebate as well as sales tax.
I drive with my headlights on all the time. Even though the truck has driving lights I like having the brighter lights on all the time because I live in an area where a lot of older retirees live and they seem to want to pull out in front of you. In doing this, the gauges are lit up all the time and I don't have any trouble reading them (with the exception of the clock and temperature). The headlights go off in about 30 seconds after you open and close the driver's door, so I just leave them on and don't even bother turning them off. As far as your wife goes-----I don't know what to say except----don't let her drive it. (good luck:))
vegasheat Posts: 6I like that price...can you tell me what package and options you got with that price. I live in the Las Vegas area and they are not budging much on their prices. I did find the Toyota dealer online that you bought from but would like to know what options were included. If I could get a good price, I would fly there to pick one up with cash.
These are the codes,which you can easily translate at your local Toyota dealership. BU, CK, FE, MG, RL, TM, WR, XY4. A young college graduate of the highest caliber I ever met at an automobile dealership, Travis, wrote up and closed on my purchase. I wouldnt be surprised if innot too many years ownes his own dealership. Special arrangements would have to be made for your plan. These codes are on the Tundra 4X2 DCAB 5.7L V8 8242A. I hope I have been able to assist you in some way.
michaelsy1 Posts: 1I just bought the crewmax 4x4 SR5 5.7. I am in Pa. I went to the dealer with my own financing and no trade in. I offered them 2% over invoice and that i get the $2500. rebate,which made the vehicle price about $1800. under invoice after the rebate. Well they took the deal! I was a happy camper! When I went to do the paper work they offered me the 0% financing for 60 mo. and a $400. military rebate. and they keep the $2500. rebate. My financing was 4.9 for 60 mo. so when I did the math is was a no brainer. 0% for 60 mo. and paid about $300. over invoice. Shop the dealers and tell them what you want...if they want to sell they will deal. I LOVE MY NEW CREWMAX!
The dark deeply recessed instruments on my Tundra are difficult to read on bright days wearing sunglasses. Toyota needs to come up with a redesign and a fix for every Tundra produced. I can not understand how they could design and build such a nice truck and miss a serious design flaw in the important instrument panel. Some instruments have lower light even with the instrument lights turned up as high as the light control will go.
Ordered my Tundra with DRL (daylight running lights) which was overlooked at time of manufacture. Asked local dealer to install and was advised they could not do so. I called Toyota (Detroit) who also advised if DRL was not factory installed, it was considered an aftermarket item and was not recommended. Factory installation was about $40.
My only option was to purchase a kit on the internet (for $93) that converts turn signal-parking lights to DRL.
Then was charged $178 for installation by a local electronic shop (which was excessive but did take them over 4 hours to wire by device instructions) Obviously neither of us knew how long it would take.
Toyota takes no responsibility for omitting this item.
Still, this is the best new vehicles I have ever purchased
and would recommend to anyone in the market for a new pickup.
Back from Holidays. I received $2100 off list price, just for asking (and with a phone Quote from a competitive dealer), so with freight included the buy or leased vehicle price was 41,910.48 I put $4k down leaving a base lease payment of $486.38 After the government got their cut the lease payment topped up at $554.47. The lease rate is poor at 5.9% but I can live with it. The purchase price with Taxes would have been $47,777.94 before my down payment. I was paying $630 (2.1% lease rate) for my 2003 ltd access tundra and would have been looking to buy out at similar down payment but used car interest rate of 8%+. Being a business expense I feel very good about my deal although the U.S. guys are getting insane deals. Keep in mind that I bought early and deals were hard to come by.
FYI, I asked around last week when I was getting an oil change. I think your salesperson was the same as mine and that was your vehicle that came in. Man, it came in 1 week after you cancelled, bummer. I feel for you. It sold as soon as it came in.
Actually to cancel was a big relief.
Resulted in a further $500 savings with a more trust worthy dealership/salesperson. Including added options price locally was 47,600 new deal 47,144. I expect to take delivery in about two weeks.
The blunders of the salesperson locally just got to costly to risk further dealings with.
My gut feeling is that there be more to the run around I got then they care to let on.
I would like to make a point about the type of salesperson we have dealt with locally.
What I have come to realize is that when they speak it is most likely BS coming out.
Case in Point.
The date I cancelled was 1 week before the new scheduled production date given to me by the salesperson . Making the new delivery 3 to 4 weeks there after.
So when the salesperson says the vehicle came in 1 week after I cancelled quite franky is BS. Which I can quote numerous situations more.
So as word of caution I would keep this in mind when speaking to them because chances are when they open their mouth to speak it is most likey BS.
vincekeller Posts: 28I just bought a double cab 3 days ago, and it has been in the shop the last two days. Here is the background: On the way home from the dealership on Monday, I noticed that the security light (next to the clock) was flasing, so I took it to the dealer the next day to have it check out. This afternoon, they told me that somehow the computer for the electronic keys can't be located, and maybe it was not installed at the factory. They don't know what to do at this point and have to wait for the factory to call back :lemon: . Is it resonable to demand a another truck now, or do I need to give Toyota a chance to fix the problem?

(Updates with economist comment in fourth paragraph.)
July 28 (Bloomberg) -- South Korea's current-account surplus rose to an eight-month high in June as global demand for cars and steel bolstered exports, putting pressure on the won to strengthen further.
The surplus was $2.99 billion, compared with a revised $2.18 billion in May, the Bank of Korea said in a statement in Seoul today. The current account is the broadest measure of trade, tracking goods, services and investment income.
The Bank of Korea raised its forecast for this year's current-account surplus to $15.5 billion from $11 billion on July 15, citing strong export growth and stabilizing raw material costs. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said July 19 that the won may keep appreciating as the government seeks to damp inflation and exports benefit from a recovery in Japan and a "moderate" acceleration in U.S. growth.
"The sizable current-account surplus should add more pressure on the won, which is already rising fast," said Kong Dong Rak, a fixed-income analyst at Taurus Investment & Securities Co. in Seoul. "The export outlook looks firm but a possible global economic slowdown should deal a blow."
South Korea's currency climbed to its strongest level in almost three years against the dollar yesterday, pushed up by overseas investors' purchases of the nation's assets. The won has gained about 7 percent so far this year, the most among major Asian currencies.
Kospi Falls
The won fell 0.3 percent to 1,052.93 per dollar as of 11:18 a.m., according to data compiled by Bloomberg. South Korea's currency rose to as high as 1,048.30 yesterday, the strongest level since August 2008. The Kospi share index fell 0.9 percent.
The stronger won hasn't stopped carmakers from projecting higher overseas sales. Hyundai Motor Co. and Kia Motors Corp. aim to increase U.S. sales by 18 percent to 1.06 million vehicles this year, the companies said last month. Hyundai, South Korea's largest car maker, will announce second-quarter earnings today.
South Korea's Posco, the world's third-biggest steelmaker, posted a 22 percent gain in second-quarter profit, aided by higher prices and earnings from its units.
The advances in the won may help ease inflation pressure, which the Bank of Korea has tried to contain by raising interest rates three times this year. The central bank kept the benchmark interest rate unchanged at 3.25 percent this month. Governor Kim Choong Soo's policy board meets August 11 to decide whether to raise borrowing costs again.
Exports Rising
Total exports on a customs-cleared basis rose 13.6 percent last month from a year earlier, compared with a revised 22 percent gain in May, according to today's statement. Imports climbed 27.5 percent after expanding a revised 30.1 percent.
"Exports will likely stay strong in the second half as Japan is still struggling with the aftermath of the earthquake, giving additional chances to Korean exporters worldwide," Kim Young Bae, a director-general at the Bank of Korea, told reporters in Seoul today.
Overseas shipments probably gained 19 percent this month after expanding in June at the slowest pace since October 2009, according to the median forecast of five economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. The latest monthly trade data will be released on Aug. 1.
The surplus on traded goods widened to $3.66 billion last month from a revised $1.63 billion in May, today's report showed. The services account, which measures the flow of travel, transport costs and royalties, posted a deficit of $632 million in June, compared with a revised surplus of $16 million in May.

With the death of Henry Allingham this country has lost the last surviving member of the Royal Navy to see action in the Great War.
At the Battle of Jutland, Henry served as an air mechanic with the Royal Naval Air Service and was sitting at the back of a Sopwith Schneider seaplane, ready for action. What he saw that evening was the Grand Fleet heading for action against the German High Seas Fleet. He had no idea of the outcome of the battle until he returned to Yarmouth to the sound of church bells ringing out the victory.
In 1917 he was sent to France and joined No 12 Squadron. Constantly on the move, he found himself in the Ypres salient to support the offensive. He woke one night and fell into a deep shell-hole. He recalled: "It was absolutely stinking. There were rats who were feeding off the boys listed as missing." That experience was to remain with him for the rest of his life.
Henry, who was born in the East End of London, lost his father when he was only 14 months old, and then his mother in 1915. On her death he wasted little time in joining up.
He met his future wife, Dorothy, in 1917, and that summer the RNAS offered him a commission, but when he told her she burst into tears and said that he would be killed - instead he should settle down. He looked at her and asked her to marry him. They were happily married for 53 years.
Henry worked as an engineer after the War, and during the second world war he worked on a number of projects, including counter-measures to German magnetic mines. After the War he joined Ford. On the death of Dorothy in 1970, he moved to Eastbourne and looked after himself in his small flat, but it was a lonely life.
At the age of 100, Henry met Dennis Goodwin, the founder of the World War One Veterans' Association, who encouraged him to talk about his experiences. Despite his age, he found this next period of his life stimulating and full of interest. Accompanied by Goodwin, he went to garden parties at Buckingham Palace and in 2003 he was awarded the Légion d'Honneur, for his service in France. Ever mindful of his fallen friends, each year he would attend the Remembrance Day parade at the Cenotaph. I remember him on his 110th birthday, engrossed in conversation with a young boy, who was totally in awe of this lovely old gentleman, 100 years his senior.
One of his most abiding memories was being taken to France in 2006, when he met Robert Mair, a German who had fought at Ypres. These two men, the oldest in their respective countries, shook hands with warmth and genuine tenderness. Henry and his new friend who had both come through the horrors of war were now like brothers.
Anyone who met Henry would have been moved by his great dignity, his vitality and his mischievous sense of humour.

You need the "power" output of 4s, rather than 3s: from what I've read, the stock motors, on 3s batts, just don't produced adequate thrust.
Now, if you want better motors for 3s use, I can make recommendations.
|Apr 29, 2010, 01:03 PM
There are 2 stock motors. The stock ones for 3s powered my ME 262 just fine until one of the motors sheared a shaft. (The older motors have a 2mm shaft)
I can't remember which was which, but one had blue shrink wrap on the motor wires near the endbell and the other had green shrink wrap. Both of the motors had blue endbells.

Thanks angelfood.
I have looked in to the GWS motors and I am confused by the color coding. Does the blue in "BL 2028-4 blue" refer to the end caps or the colored band around the wires? I keep seeing references to green and blue in the specs. The motors that came with my 262 have blue end caps and green bands.
I was rumagging around the 'why did I buy that again' pile and found a couple of GWS brushless EDF 64s with 'white' (non-anodized) end caps and green bands.
I have not quite an idea of how to read the specs on these. What are the kV for these motors and the recommended voltages? I have not been involved much in the hobby for a few years due to illness and while I was gone, GWS released brushless motors and I missed the announcements and experiments. I have my AXI's and E-Flites all figured out, but these 'GWS' motors are a bit of a mystery. When last I frequented this site, Hobby Lobby was the sponsor - I do not know what happened but I hope the parting was not acrimonious.
Last question for the next few minutes is how would I order extra fan adapters?

Marty, inverse order:
1. Look for gwsprops.com or something like that-a great source for parts-caliberhobby.com or caliber.com is a GWS distributor/retail seller in California, but with much higher prices;
2. The green band means you have a greenie;
3. Go to the GWS site in Taiwan, and get the specs for whatever you want. http://www.gws.com.tw/

Just installed two of these:
in the recommended fans from hobby city. 23 amps each motor when in the nacell. Will get about 450-500 watts total.
Using a 3s 2200 20 C lipo so may not get all the watts, but at least 400. Not bad, I think it will fly because I know it flies (just barely) on 180 watts.
|May 21, 2010, 09:25 PM
My experiences:My hand-me-down ME-262 has two of the 2028 brushless motors (green tubing) and black GWS impellers fed by two Castle Creations Thunderbird 36's on a 2200mah 3S 20C lipo pack. I use a Spektrum AR6000 receiver and an add-on Park BEC to prevent receiver brown-out. The model flies at scale-like speeds and will do nice big loops after a shallow dive. it does quick axial rolls, requires some down elevator at full throttle for level flight. I fly mostly at 1/2 to 2/3 throttle, full throttle only for a loop.
Caution, don't fly too long (until low voltage cutoff), one motior will cut out before the other and the other will keep running at full thrust. You might regain control by chopping throttle immediately, dropping the nose to gain flying speed and level out for a dead- stick landing. A one-engine out emergency is not for newbie pilots, best to keep flight times down to about 5 minutes mostly at 1/2 -2/3 throttle depending on the actual condition of your lipo pack. A tired pack/one that gets hot, may have very limited duration before LVC.

Thanks again for all the tips. One more question:
How well does this thing hand launch with the stock motors?
I have bad shoulders but no easy access to a paved runway.
|May 23, 2010, 12:40 PM
I wouldn't hand launch this thing. Bungee launch yes....
It needs a fair amount of airspeed to get flying well enough so that the nacelles don't cause it to rotate beyond control.
|May 23, 2010, 02:19 PM
Finally had this running with two of the new turnigy EDF outrunners and fans. Lots of power, but some reason it was somehwat unstable in flight. After a loop, after the over the top part it started snapping. I applied full rudder and saved but I was too low. I punched and pulled too far back on the stick and it snapped again and went in. I am thinking I had too much elevator throw.
|May 23, 2010, 03:43 PM
Bummer. Damage report? Photos?
|May 23, 2010, 04:04 PM
About 5 big pieces, the third time its been in that shape. Totally repairable. The nacells are 2 oz glassed so they are still in perfect shape. Motors and fans are still perfect. So I'll have it in the air again after an hour of work.
|May 23, 2010, 05:17 PM
The nacelles need some kind of reinforced tape on the bottom for belly landings. You need a buddy that can launch fast and level at full throttle. A little down elevator trim might be wise. Be ready to contol natural pitch up right after launch and prevent stall/crash. You do not want any tail -heaviness and don't want large control throws. Ailerons on mine are very effective. If at all posible, find a large field with smooth tkeoff and landing surface using wheels until you have it under control. Let it lift off gradually when ready. Keep turns wide and bank angles gentle with adequate speed to avoid stall/crash syndrome turning on final and landing., It takes a lot of room to come to a stop on landing. Try to keep nose wheel from hitting ground first, gear leg will bend and linkage may break.

By Pia Orense
A lovestruck Miranda, in the third act of Shakespeare's "The Tempest," tells a young man that she wants to be his wife. "If not, I'll die your maid. To be your fellow / You may deny me, but I'll be your servant / Whether you will or no," she says, a profession of love so submissive and unconditional it's almost disconcerting when read with modern-day sensibilities.
So what happens when that character gets adapted for 21st-century young adult readers? This: "If you call me princess again, I WILL scream."
That headstrong "princess" would be Miranda Prospero, the character conjured up by Mount St. Mary's Humanities student Kim Askew '15 MA and her writing partner Amy Helmes for their debut novel "Tempestuous" (Merit Press). In their Twisted Lit series for young adults, Shakespeare's plays are retold from the female protagonist's point of view and retooled so that those roles are no longer passive, secondary or subservient.
"We wanted strong female heroines and while Shakespeare does have some, a lot of the plays are about male characters. We thought, 'Let's take a female character and see how she would respond to the same situation,'" says Askew.
The literary motif of female empowerment is key to several works recently authored by students and alums of the Mount. For these Mount storytellers, an emphasis on the female protagonist's journey to finding her own strength is partly a reflection of the author who brought the character to life.
A powerful woman is definitely the principal character and the driving force behind the science fiction series "Alien Novels" (DAW). Author Jeanne (Gerrard) Cook '83 writes about Kitty, who, alongside aliens posing as humans, fights evil beings from taking over the universe.
Kitty is as quick with her quips and as spunky and smart as her creator. Cook, who writes the sci-fi series under the pen name Gini Koch, says her heroine inherited a lot of her own personal history and personality quirks. For example, Kitty's job as a marketing director echoes Cook's 25-year career as a marketing professional at IBM. Kitty becomes a full-time member of the alien diplomatic society and a mom at the same time, just as Cook juggled raising her child while working full time in corporate America and writing fiction on the side.
"I'm in every single character I write, especially the villains," says Arizona-based Cook, who graduated from the Mount with a bachelor's degree in international business. "I don't know how you can write without a piece of you in them."Askew agrees, "All of our characters have something of ourselves. Or maybe it's something that we wish we had." Askew, who works as the content director at the Fashion Institute of Merchandise and Design in Los Angeles, says her experience growing up in a military family moving from one country to another shows up in the main character of the upcoming fourth book in the Twisted Lit series. Puck, a female interpretation of the fun-loving spirit in "A Midsummer Night's Dream," is a foster system survivor. "Puck is displaced, trying to find a home. Even though I had a strong family home, I didn't have a sense of place," says Askew.
While a woman's quest in literature "often follows a pattern similar to that of the journey of the male hero, there are some important twists," says Professor Millie Kidd, director of the graduate humanities program.
The search for identity is not always about escaping the restraints of society, which is typical of the male hero's journey; it may be about connecting with the self through relationships and through community. "Stories told from the female point of view help to reshape the way women are perceived by society, thereby tearing down the boundaries between individual and community," Kidd says.
For Allison Chaney '09 MS, her work reflects not just who she is, but also who she is not. In "I'm L.A. Woman," one of the poems included in her recently published book of poetry "Queen Me" (Poehemian Press), the first-person voice rejects the stereotype of a woman living in Hollywood: "I am not your re-invention / I am not a size zero / I am not your lesson or false shaman's shuffle."
"It's about false expectations of what you're supposed to be like as a woman, particularly one living in Los Angeles," she says. Chaney already holds a master's in education from the Mount and is working on her second graduate degree. She is currently in the humanities program at the College but will be switching to the new MFA in creative writing program in the fall.
There are other woman-centric poems in "Queen Me," including one about Dorothy of the "Wizard of Oz" (which was filmed in Culver City, Calif., where Chaney lives). Her two novels in progress are told from the female point of view, and a TV pilot she wrote for a class at the Mount centers around two sisters. "Everything is about empowering yourself and learning to believe in you as an individual," she says. "It's what matters."
The woman's discovery of her own strength — physical, mental and spiritual — is an important theme in the works of Askew, Cook and Chaney. There may be some romantic entanglements along the way, but there is no echo of Miranda's unrestrained declaration of love in "The Tempest."
"Most young adult fiction is about the romantic happy ending," Askew says. "Amy and I wanted ours to be about empowerment, about how the character figures out who she is and what she wants to be. Maybe she ends up with the guy or maybe not, but I don't want the story to work out just because the character met the man of her dreams."
