I know we live in an age in which we prefer our celebrity hijinx to be on convenient YouTube clips, but sometimes the magic happens off-camera and there's nothing you can do about it, which is why we salute NY Post writer Mandy Stadtmiller for her painstaking trascription of what can only be described as the Most Amazing Celebrity Encounter Ever. Her front row seat to the carnival of human insanity that is Andy Dick inspired her to a write a one-act adaptation of the time they spent together, and the result is a work of such power and beauty, it could never possibly be realized by mere mortal. If this interaction had been captured on video and uploaded onto YouTube, the entire Internet would have exploded before even one of us had a chance to watch the clip (which undoubtedly would have immediately rendered the viewer blind and brain-damaged). Put on your reading glasses and take the time to pore over one woman's brush with the supernatural.
Nicole Richie Nose Something We Don't
Check out these comparison shots of Nicole Richie… doesn't it look like she had a little help in the nose shaping department?
And we're not the first people to notice, either. Or is it possible to lose 3 pounds from your nose from constant cocaine use alone?
ICYMI: Unintentional Anti-Drug Messages
Our friends over at CRACKED have compiled a pretty YouTubular list of the "5 Most Obviously Drug-Fueled TV Appearances Ever". These are really fun to watch, but some glaring omissions include The Hoff on American Idol, Alan Thicke on that celebrity cooking show that got cancelled, and Liz Taylor on pretty much every Academy Awards program in the last 50 years. Here's a sneak peek, but be sure to enjoy them all – and say no to drugs (especially if you're Crispin Glover)!
En Ess Eff Dubs Alert: PornoTube
If you are not a fan of pornography, or if you have an actual realtown day job, might we suggest that you stop reading this post immediately. For the rest of you, divert your attention away from the porno flick you're watching and check this out! The nakies world of filmmaking has responded to the highly successful YouTube phenomenon with their own herpes-infested version: Pornotube. All the videos are free, and uploading your own amateurish clips couldn't be any more simplex, too. We have literally spent hours surfing through their clips (research, folks, relax), and let us tell you there is some high quality porking going on, involving oodles of girls who were likely-to-obvs molested by their dads, and men who just love to get laid. File Pornotube under "ideas we wish we had if we weren't so busy watching porno."
And for those readers under 18, don't even try going to the site. There's a highly clever barrier set up to prevent your perusal, so clever, in fact, that one would have to lie about their age to get past it. Saw-rryyyyy.
LISTEN UP: A Daily Dose of the Best Music Ever
- Pull off your cadigan sweaters, pick up your Camus, and put on some SPF 80 sunblock, because Skatterbrain has posted the Totally Twee Super Summer Mega Mix.
- The Smudge of Ashen Fluff takes their bizarre name and hops on The Bicycles bandwagon. Go pop a wheelie!
- *Sixeyes has a sick sixpack with six songs from the Spinto Band. Say that really fast six times.
- Said the Gramophone gives you a nice Sunset Rubdown with a new track from the Wolf Parade frontman's side project.
- I know it's not really an mp3, but the Radiohead's "No Surprises" & Paul Thomas Anderson's "Punch-Drunk Love" mash-up video over at EC,EU is too awesome to ignore.
What Do You Get The Celebrity Who Has Everything?
Why, his or her profile carved into a block of wood, of course! TurnYourHead.com takes a digital image of your profile, and then carves it into a block of wood, making your classic "Is it a vase or identical twins making out?" optical illusion come to life. The result is a pretty cool way to immortalize your post-caveman browbone, and it's the perfect gift for celebrities already obsessed with their appearance. In fact, try to get the vase carved pre-plastic surgery! How much fun would it be for Ashlee Simpson to put her new WASP-y mug into her old profile's sillouhette, proving she in fact can fit her fist in the negative space. It's like an ugly girl's version of fat pants! (Link via PopGadget)
The Many Faces of Paris Hilton's Dog
Those of you who doubt Paris Hilton's talent, have we got news a-for you. Paris will be hosting a brand new television show called America's Cutest Pup, where contestants battle it out to see who has the cutest dog. Hilton won't be the only host. She'll be upstaged — j-joined by her chihuahua, Tinkerbell. Paris simply adoooores Tinkerbell, takes her everywhere! To the park, nightclub bathrooms, baby sacrifices, the yoozh! But how does Tinkerbell feel about all this? Well, we've done our research, and we'd like to present you with the many faces of Paris Hilton's dog.
Really psyched to be alive.
While You Were Drinking and Driving in Malibu
- Ashton Kutcher claims that he and girlfriend Demi Moore never get into arguments. Probably because the last time they did, she ended up grounding him for a week with no TV.
- Brandon Davis drunkenly got onstage at a Paris Hilton promo event to make some more lame "firecrotch" jokes, yet again. He's sort of become the Dexys Midnight Runners of sucky pseudo-celebs, now reduced to traveling around to casinos and bar mitzvahs, doing his "Come On Aileen" for anyone who will still listen.
- I don't know what's funnier about this video: Kelly Clarkson drinking Jack Daniels onstage with a bunch of Metal dudes. Or a bunch of Metal Dudes doing standup comedy onstage.
- An 11 year-old girl was crowned the first winner of America's Got Talent last night, beating out freaks, fairies, jugglers and the distracting gloriousness of The Hoff's watchful gaze.
- While promoting her crappy new album, Paris Hilton has been giving impromptu motivational speeches, telling young girls they should not sleep around, which is the equivalent of Kieth Richards showing up with one of his famous Rum & Loritab punch drinks and telling you not to party.

Ocean Shore Holding Co. Reports 1st Quarter 2011 Earnings
Ocean Shore Holding Co. (NASDAQ: OSHC) today announced net income of $1.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to $1.3 million earned in the first quarter of 2010. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.18, compared to $0.20 in the same period last year. Results of the first quarter of 2011 reflect $89,000 (net of tax) of expenses related to the previously announced merger with CBCH Financialcorp, Inc. and its subsidiary Select Bank, which is expected to close the third quarter of 2011.
Ocean Shore Holding Co. (the "Company") is the holding company for Ocean City Home Bank (the "Bank"), a federal savings bank headquartered in Ocean City, New Jersey. The Bank operates a total of ten full-service banking offices in eastern New Jersey.
"We are very pleased with our start to 2011," said Steven E. Brady, President and CEO. "Assets grew at an annualized rate of over 10% and were funded by core deposits. Although non-performing assets ticked up a little, there were no charge-offs during the quarter. Net interest income remained steady compared to the prior year and was up slightly from the fourth quarter of 2010."
Balance Sheet ReviewTotal assets grew $21.5 million, or 2.6%, to $861.4 million at March 31, 2011 from December 31, 2010. Loans receivable, net, was unchanged at $660.4 million, while investment and mortgage-backed securities increased $18.4 million, or 77.6%, to $42.1 million during the first quarter of 2011. Cash and cash equivalents grew $3.1 million, or 2.8%, to $114.0 million at March 31, 2011 from December 31, 2010. Loan originations and other advances totaling $34.7 million were offset by payoffs and payments received of $34.6 million resulting in no growth in the portfolio. The increase in investments and mortgage-backed securities resulted from new purchases of short term agency investments of $20.0 million offset by normal repayment and payoffs of $1.6 million. Cash and cash equivalents growth resulted from increased deposit activity.

Futures Trade: Closing CL
We entered a trade last week on the expectation that if odds continued to strengthen that the U.S. will not attack Syria, the added risk premium would be priced out of longer dated options on oil futures contracts. We looked at a November short vertical call spread as one way to trade this expectation.
Since then, November WTI crude has fallen to $104.71, which benefited the short call spread because of the bearish price bias in the trade. But just as significant was the reaction in options markets.
The darker blue line shows the implied volatility for November CL options on September 12th, with the same volatility skew a few sessions later in light blue. The bid in out of the money call options dropped almost a full volatility point in some cases, and that means we can exit the options spread having collected most of the possible profit in a much faster time frame than would have been possible if we were relying on price changes alone.
Trades: BTC LOX3 November 114 calls at $0.28 and STC LOX3 November 116 calls at $0.17.
The trade collected $0.30 to open and costs $0.11s to exit, for a return of 11% on capital risked in less than a week.

More Republican Pledge Hypocrisy
Republicans are such hypocrites that even while they preach smaller and less intrusive government they pass legislation to increase the size and scope of government.Details
Republicans are such hypocrites that even while they preach smaller and less intrusive government they pass legislation to increase the size and scope of government.Details
While Republicans trumpet their victory, they would do well to ground themselves in an important reality. This election was not a ringing endorsement of the GOP. It was instead a repudiation of progressive ideology.Details
Actions speak louder than words. So, too, do voting records speak louder than press releases.Details
"Never, ever, under any circumstances, for any reason, trust in, rely on, or put any hope in Republican promises. As night follows day, disappointment, vexation, and anger are sure to follow."Details
We voters have been suckers for too long. Federal politicians of today are, for the most part, intelligent, but disingenuous. They are great at dishing out rhetoric and spin, and they are most acutely skilled at avoiding substance as much as possible. It is marketing over substance.Details
by Jacob Sullum
The Republican platform unveiled last week notes in passing that "the Constitution assigns the federal government no role in local education." Yet the same document offers opinions on all manner of local educational issues, including the virtues of phonics, the evils of sex education, the wisdom of merit pay for teachers, and the folly of social promotion.
That contradiction illustrates the hollowness of the Republican commitment to "constrain the federal government to its legitimate constitutional functions." The Republicans (like the Democrats) respect the Constitution only when it's convenient.Details
The Constitution. Every issue, every time. No exceptions, no excuses.

Columbia® Yama Low Leather OutDry™ Multi-Sport Shoes for Ladies
- Waterproof, high performance multi-sport shoe
- OutDry waterproof breathable technology and construction
- Waterproof full-grain leather upper
- Techlite midsole for support, stability, and protection
- Omni-Grip rubber compound outsole with multi-directional lugs
- Multi-density EVA foam on footbed and collar
- Heel air cushion - calibrated for a women's foot frame, absorbs shock and enhance stability
Manufacturer style #: BL3815.
OutDry delivers increased comfort and protection against wet weather conditions. This specialized construction process bonds a waterproof, breathable membrane to the outermost layer of a shoe, sealing stitching seams and all other potential entry points. This is unlike traditional "waterproof" footwear with a floating bootie that allows water and debris to stagnate between the layers, making your feet feel cold and heavy.
Techlite is a specially formulated closed cell compound that delivers impact absorbing support, stability and protection, so you can go the distance in comfort. Engineered specifically to provide superior comfort and cushioning in Columbia's high performance outdoor footwear, Techlite material is also naturally antimicrobial, odor resistant, and easy to care for. Durable, odor resistant, and shock absorbing, Techlite is an ideal material for consistent support and protection throughout a range of footwear uses.
Hold tight on any terrain with Columbia shoes sporting Omni-Grip outsoles! A multi-terrain traction system that matches specially formulated compounds and treads to specific environments, Omni-Grip outsoles give you sure-footed confidence for any activity. With advanced traction solutions designed for trails, hiking, winter, and water, Omni-Grip shoes and boots ensure outdoor stability, no matter where your adventures take you.
Columbia® Yama Low Leather OutDry™ Multi-Sport Shoes for Ladies 7 7
Excited about shoes These shoes work great if you have somewhat wide feet. Built very rugged for hiking. Slight bulk, but good lighter-weight hiking shoes. However, you need bulky shoes when hiking, otherwise they would fall apart in rough terrain. The brown earthy color is great. Waterproofing is a plus. Used in the rain and feet remained dry. The tread is slick in urban environment, such as sidewalks during rain. Traction seems good. March 5, 2014
good service service is very good. This shoes is a little too thin for most people. January 17, 2014
Dissapointed from the quality The shoes arrived with a defect (see attached pic). Although it is only a cosmetic damage, I thought that this prestige brand will provide only high quality products. I'm not using the "return" option since I'm not sure what other defects may emerge in the "new" shoes I'll get in return, In addition, it's too much hassle... I won't order from Columbia online again. I did not provide rating for the "functioning" since I did not wear the shoes yet (hopping to have the opportunity to exchange them at Wrentham which is the closest Columba store (yet a very far one...)).

That'll Do, Pig: Neil's Not A Hog After All
By editor
Originally published on Wed October 30, 2013 2:49 am
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. It's a happy ending for Neil the popular potbelly pig, who faced eviction from his California home. Pigs are allowed as pets in the town of Sierra Madre, but not hogs. An animal control officer suspected Neil was a hog - that is, a pig weighing more than 120 pounds. As one local put it, if everyone overweight was considered, half the town would be evicted.
But a protest rally turned into a party when Neil was designated a legal pig by the city. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

CBS News Remembers Andy Rooney: 'The Oracle of West 57th St… Apparently, God needed a writer'
Words of condolence following the passing of Andy Rooney, from his CBS colleagues.
Leslie Moonves: "Words cannot adequately express Andy's contribution to the world of journalism and the impact he made–as a colleague and friend–upon everyone at CBS. His wry wit, his unique ability to capture the essence of any issue, and his larger-than-life personality made him an icon, not only within the industry but among readers and viewers around the globe. Andy was not just a member of the CBS family; he was a member of the world's family. We treasure the legacy he has left, and his presence will be sorely missed by those of us at CBS and by his fans around the world."
Jeff Fager: "It's a sad day at 60 MINUTES and for everybody here at CBS News. It's hard to imagine not having Andy around. He loved his life and he lived it on his own terms. We will miss him very much."
Morley Safer: "Underneath that gruff exterior, was a prickly interior…and deeper down was a sweet and gentle man, a patriot with a love of all things American, like good bourbon and a delicious hatred for prejudice and hypocrisy."
Scott Pelley: "The Romans had Cicero. The English had Dickens. America had Andy. He hid a philosopher's genius behind the honest prose of Everyman. Apparently, God needed a writer."
Steve Kroft: "Andy always said he wanted to work until the day he died and he managed to do it, save the past few weeks in the hospital. What a life: ninety- two years of doing what you love to do while engaging and entertaining millions and millions of people. He played an invaluable role in the success of 60 MINUTES over the years, providing a much anticipated

A contest for CalArts students sponsored by Chiquita Canyon Landfill awarded $8,000 in scholarship money Thursday night for students of the world-renowned Valencia art college.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
The reception at California Institute of the Arts celebrated the work of student artists who created art comprised of materials the students found at a landfill.
"The Found Art Scholarship Program is designed to showcase the artistic creativity of CalArts undergraduate and graduate students," according to a CalArts news release. "To be eligible for the competition, students had to transform objects found at the landfill into art, and guidelines state at least 80 percent of each piece must be comprised of materials collected at the landfill."
The top prize went to a 15-minute, documentary-style film by Roksana Pirouzmand, 23, of Yazd, Iran, who used to cameras to capture the students' art-gathering process, which coincided with an exact countdown to the Persian New Year. Her piece won the $4,000 grand prize.
The first-year CalArts student, who studied art in Iran before coming to CalArts, said film was just one of many media she enjoyed using to create art.
"It depends on the idea that I have or the project I have," said Pirouzmand, discussing her choice for the contest. "Video is a medium for me, video doesn't represent filming for me. It's a tool for me and I can use it to express my ideas."
Michael Demps's piece "Time Lines" earned the $2,500 second prize, using wood, a window screen, iron gating, rope, electrical cord and other materials based on their surface and texture. His goal was to explore the way people perceive time, he said.
"My art focuses on perception," said Demps, a Detroit native and former musician who said he would like to return to his hometown and support underfunded arts education programs there. "I was really interested in seeing how I could accentuate the passage of time through actions."
Jessica Smith garnered the $1,300 third-place prize for her piece "Screen," implementing wooden stakes and a plastic drop cloth to silk screen a a pattern she created, which was inspired by an image of landfill-owned land. The fourth-place, $500-prize winner, Blaine Nelson, created "Go Bang," a piece he created from shotgun shells.
The works were judged by a panel consisting of representatives from CalArts and the local arts community.
The idea was to help students, support a community partnership and an interest in found art, said Mike Dean, a vice president of waste management connections for Chiquita Canyon Landfill and the general manager for the Castaic facility.
Dean was credited with coming up with the idea for the art contest that has given away more than $20,000 in scholarship money in its three-year history.

"I just always liked people who made stuff out of junk," he said, adding he enjoys "found art" sculptures and other pieces.
"This is a great arts community, these students going to college can use the money, and it's fun," he said.
"This competition really stemmed from a conversation that Mike Dean and John Musella and I were having literally over a glass of wine at the Valencia Wine Co.," said Dave Bossert, a CalArts graduate and Board of Trustees member who spoke at Thursday's reception.
"It was Mike's idea," he said, "and we said, 'Let's put this together.'"

Installed these JBA short headers on my '06 V6 as an addition to the Ford Racing Performance Pack and the improved performance was immediate. I feel a real increase in horsepower and torque throughout most of the power band but mostly at the low end and the exhaust note is now a much deeper growl, particularly at idle. Throttle response was also improved a little. A big improvement over the factory manifolds. The headers are high quality and were a perfect fit that bolted flat against the engine and have been problem free.

Vatican panel says violence is 'greatest corruption of religion'
Violence is the "greatest corruption of religion" while belief in a single God is the "principle and source of love between human beings," says a new study by Vatican theologians.
Violence is the "greatest corruption of religion" while belief in a single God is the "principle and source of love between human beings," says a new study by Vatican theologians.
Francis Chronicles: Priests, bishops and lay Catholics who cause scandal are living lives cut off from God, and their corruption ends up poisoning others, Pope Francis said.
Pope Francis replaced four cardinals serving on a five-person commission overseeing the Vatican bank.
On successive days in mid-January, Pope Francis and his top collaborator at the Vatican made public statements that provided a lesson in Franciscan contextualization of highly loaded moral issues.
On Monday, the pope told the Vatican diplomatic corps that he found it "horrifying just to think that there are children, victims of abortion, who will never see the light of day."
The authority of Jesus' teaching seemed "new" to the people of his day, not because of its content, but because of the love and respect with which Jesus spoke, Pope Francis said.
Jesus "wanted the people to draw near and seek him, and he was moved when he saw them like sheep without a shepherd," the pope said Tuesday in the homily at his early morning Mass.
The day's Gospel reading, describing Jesus preaching in the synagogue at Capernaum, said the people were astonished by his preaching, which to them was "a new teaching with authority."
Pope Francis assured mothers that breast-feeding their babies in public, even during a papal Mass in the Sistine Chapel, is OK.
No chorus is as wonderful as the squeaks, squeals and banter of children, the pope said during a Mass in which he baptized 32 babies Sunday, the feast of the Baptism of the Lord.
"Some will cry because they are uncomfortable or because they are hungry," he said during his brief and unscripted homily.
"If they are hungry, mothers, let them eat, no worries, because here they are the main focus," he said.
Pope Francis so far has been mostly mum on the topic of abortion, choosing instead to center the issue around the bigger picture of social justice.
There are too many "defeated Christians" in the church who do not fully believe in the faith handed down to them by way of tradition and who do not completely trust in God, Pope Francis said.
If Christians don't believe and live the faith as a victorious mover of mountains, then "there is only defeat, and the prince of the world conquers the world," the pope said in his homily Friday during his morning Mass in the Domus Sanctae Marthae.
Christians must love through concrete actions, not words, which are just whisked away in the wind, Pope Francis said.
True love knows it's more important to give -- "give things, give life, give oneself to God and others" -- than receive, the pope said in his homily Thursday during his morning Mass in the Domus Sanctae Marthae, where he lives.
Christian love is generous and real, it's not some dreamy romantic notion and "not the love on soap operas," he said, according to Vatican Radio.
"When he invited me [onto the popemobile], he invited all priests to be near the people," Fr. Fabian Baez said.

This Merkur XR4ti is one of few RS500-style conversions we have seen in North America that has gone fare enough to swap in a Cosworth YB 16V turbo engine. We have never seen a genuine RS500 in the USA, so this car with some further sorting would be plenty close. Black is even our favorite color on the model because of its similarity to the Texaco-livery WTCC cars of the late 80s. Find it here on Craigslist in Vancouver, BC for $10k.
At this price we don't expect perfection, but seeing that Cossie valve cover design under the hood is never an option for any less cash. The car below is what we would use for inspiration. A set of BBS LMs with silver centers, some tires with more side-wall, and dropping the rear of the car to tuck it all up inside those big rear flares would be the first priority. The seller has done much right with the Ford nose parts, hood, and rear wing. The split rear window difference is noticeable above. There isn't a great way to solve that, but only about three Americans know to point it out.
Even if some details need sorting, that fact that this car is already Cosworth powered is an amazing win. The 2.3L Ford turbo that came on the US-spec cars has some potential, but not like this engine. Tuning here is almost limitless, bounded only by budget and desired rebuild frequency. Check out this fantastic feature by our friends at SpeedHunters on one of the WTCC cars that is currently being used in New Zealand.
This is an interesting car with great potential in the right hands. The seller doesn't list the build year, and since these were imported from 1985 to 1989 some are over and some are under 25 years of age for importation into the USA. We hope it is an early Merkur, but since the model was sold in the USA there may be a loophole for importation. This car plus an additional $10k worth of sorting would make it one of the coolest $20k cars we can think of.
John Vanlandidammitalltohellman – killer of Cellphone-Batteries: You are a National Treasure…..
(we just have yet to figure-out which Nation)
(maybe All of them)
Xrattis were assembled by Karmann in Osnabruck, the three door Sierra Cosworths were all built in Genk, which is in Belgium, but run from Cologne…they were the last of what the world calls "MkI Sierras" run thru in a week before the line was shut down for the changeover to "MkII Sierras"
That particular car is a fun one; he had running problems and the wrong TPS so he came down to Seattle and I swapped in the correct for a 2wd ECU and drove it but it is just a YB dropped into a US spec Xratty shell and retains US spec brakes, brake booster, suspension, drums, rear open diff…
Fortunately there easy and relatively affordable solutions for all those little problems..
Nigel is long gone and last any of us in the North American Cossie world knew he was building cars for movies and TV…Also gone was the notorious "Daz" who sold the same engine and trans about 6 times, about 22-25k to each guy and abandoned the locale he had….
The YBs, YBB, YBG, YBT are extremely straightforward engines and very strong with a lovely steel crank, 9 bolt steel flywheel, nice forged pistons and an excellent T3 turbo—well well ahead of it's time and only seen on a few other cars: Lancia Delta Intergrale being most interesting–and Lancia shared every part of the whole Weber-Marelli management system too
There are currently 3 fully rebuilt YB sitting in Seattle, 2 are "205" 2wd versions, the third a "200" block 4wd YBG…Noticable weight increase in the 4wd "200" block, way more mean in the mainline, and thicker cylinders..
And all the ancillaries for installation….
And the option of 4wd on any of them…
I wonder if anybody is really interested..
most of the current Xratty crowd seems more interested in carbonfiber angry eyes grills and gee gaws, or spend more on the 2.3 trying to make those work than just dropping a YB in..
One thing that is really nice on the conversions is both cars management looms are separate from the car loom, so a few little wires for the oil pressure dash light, Alt dash light, coolant temp and that's it for wiring.
I wonder………
for those that miss out, as i sadly will, here's a close 2nd (…..simulation version of the Cosworth RS500) that we launched today.
@Admin, apologies for the promo link but too excited that we have related content coming out on the same day!……and its going to be a few months till we have the simulation model of our own one BaT car ready –
@Kay – Not sure what prompted your comment, but the XR4ti's were put together by Karmann in Rheine, Germany. Ford promoted them as German cars. (source: Wikipedia)
This car is british not german, cosworth produced the cars in the uk.
I'm still cryin' in my beer over that '93 Cossie that I couldn't figure out how to get into the US. Sigh. If only I had a close friend in the GWN that could have owned it with my money and loaned it to me to drive until 2018!
Modern turbos, with ball bearings and advanced impeller and housing designs, can seriously reduce lag. If I was not up to my neck in my 408 powered Fox coupe, I would buy this and go nuts. I had so much fun with my Merkurs and 2.3Ts. This is the Big Kahuna.
I would buy this.
I bought a 86 XR4Ti once upon a time. I poured way too much money into that ol' girl. Oh well.
nice stance, still looks very fresh
To me, the best Sierra was the 1993 Saphire, back as a teenager in Venezuela that was my dream car.
There is a Tri-Cities in the Vancouver, BC area. They are made up of Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam & Port Moody.
awesome car. i wouldn't change a thing.
Borrowed a friends Merkur and had my first 4 wheel drift experience through a fast corner. That didn't make me want to own an xr4ti… I just wanted to drive faster through corners with all the cars I drove, however not many steeds were as satisfying to drive quickly as the Merkur.
Found a few more pictures on the photographers website http://bigboymedia.net/cars/ford-sierra-rs
Also… IWANTITIWANTITIWANTITIWANTITIWANTIT!!!!!
I am one of the three that would mention the wrong side window treatment ;p
This must indeed be the farest Coswroth in all the land…
The Ford 2.3T Lima is a very basic and simple engine. However, with a good head like an Esslinger and a good rotating assembly, it can make great power. I would frequently shove 25 psi of boost through factory shortblocks…just make sure you have fuel and a decent intercooler. However, the Cossie motor is a gem. I have always, always wanted one.
@Other Perry – Perhaps a Volvo 16 valve head conversion onto the stock 2.3 Ford block might make the original powertrain more palatable for you.
However, I don't have a handle on the cost comparison between this approach and the Cosworth or Saab engine options.
I do agree that the 2.3 Ford engine is a crude all cast iron lump. But it has served Ford well in both NA and turbo versions in several different vehicles. That means it is plentiful; in addition, it has been a common powerplant in mini stock racing; with the resulting high performance R&D, making over 300 reliable horsepower is fairly easily attained. Another plus is the large number of web sites for Mustang, Merkur, turbo Ford, etc. with sections on the 2.3.
I have owned piles of 2.3T Fords (Merkurs, Mustangs and T-Birds), but a real Sierra or one close as this, has always been high on my list of cars to own. Lots of power potential hiding in that motor. Sure, nobody would know what this is…but does that matter? They will likely get a good look at that wing and little else. I would pick it up and immediately go all out on the motor and trans. This car with 500RWHP would be an absolute monster.
Is it in BC? The headline says Tri-Cities which is Richland, Kennewick and Passco Washington in the middle of the state. Maybe the import issue isn't there after all. What a cool ride.
I knew someone some years back that also did the RS500/Cosworth replica look via British American Transfer (B.A.T., no pun intended) and their replica body parts and it was powered by a…5.0 engine (and T5 transmission) with a Borla out of a LX Mustang. Sounded awesome. Since that time, I've seen a couple powered by LS engines. There are some great RS replicas that show up regularly at Carlisle.
Love these cars, always wanted one.
What a cool car. However…I tend to be very wary of any ad with no phone number. Especially when it seems like a deal that's too good to be true. The motor alone could be sold for 10 grand.
Another example of a build you couldn't replicate for the asking price.
Ah the jelly mould seirra. The days when the cozy clone wasbig are thankfully behind us. Always had a soft spot for the first one with a carb and a little Garrett pumping away for glory. The RS 500 had the second row of injectors and no way to connect them to the ecu… piggyback ecu and a loom… and away we go. Or so I'm lead to believe.
All it needs is Pete Halsmer at the wheel.
Fantastic start to what would be an incredible, yet useful, fun driver.

Lloyd's of London, the world's oldest insurance market, named John Nelson chairman, replacing Peter Levene, who is stepping down after nine years.
Nelson, chairman of property investment trust Hammerson Plc (HMSO), will take up the position when Levene's term ends in October, Lloyd's said in a statement today. Nelson, 63, will step down later this year as deputy chairman of Kingfisher Plc, Europe's largest home-improvement retailer.
Lloyd's insurers were hurt last year by earthquakes in Chile and New Zealand, flooding in Australia, as well as the Deepwater Horizon rig explosion, which caused a spill of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Full-year profit dropped 44 percent on catastrophe-related claims, Lloyd's said last month.
"Events in Japan, New Zealand and Australia remind us of the vital role Lloyd's and other insurers play in helping communities and businesses rebuild after disaster," Nelson said in today's statement.
Nelson worked at Lazard Ltd. for 13 years before becoming chairman of Credit Suisse First Boston's European arm in 1999. He retired three years later. He will remain chairman of Hammerson after taking up the position at Lloyd's.
Levene, 69, joined Lloyd's in 2002 when the market was reeling from record losses after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in New York. He oversaw the creation of a so-called Franchise Board, which monitors underwriting data on a day-to-day basis and aims to limit insurers accumulating excessive risk. Last year, he started NBNK Investments Plc to buy U.K. bank assets.
Nelson will receive an annual salary of 525,000 pounds ($854,000) from Lloyd's. Levene earned 816,000 pounds as Lloyd's chairman in 2009, including a salary of 632,000 pounds, according to the market's annual report.

Great game.
It stays true to call of duty, but I feel infinty ward missd the mark when it comes to multiplayer, it seems they left a lot if things unfinished and unbalanced, they've fixed most of this since launch, however it shows that they must've rushed during the final stages of the game. Overall it's a good game and totally worth it with lots of replay value through multiplayer modes. Extinction is a great addition.
This game is amazing. People that complain about the multiplayer are just really bad at the game so the experience ain't that great
This is the most amazing version from Call of Duty. I liked all the missions their graphic are awesome. I liked the story. The multiplier is very good.
I have mixed feelings about this game as Call of Duty is my favorite game series. The graphics are great. The campaign is fun.
But then you get into multiplayer and its lost its touch. There are perks and gun add ons that make it so you can see heat or
The outline of an enemy. Making it very easy for campers to pick you off. If thats your styele of game then this is for you.
Otherwise this game is good. Not great but just good.
Im a big "Battlefield 4 fan love the destructable enviroments...witch changes the maps constantly"...Thought i would give ghost a try..... Best call of duty yet... The single player is done very well...Have not played m/p yet...battlefield 4 graphics are better on the xbox one..Even at 720p...Call of duty ghost 1080p....Both games are worth picking up....Even if you are just a call of duty fan...It's a must own***
Looks phenomenal on the Xbox one. Standard call of duty gameplay.
Basically aside from a few tweaks that could be tweaked, this game is exactly what people should expect from a good call of duty. And while not truly next gen, the sound, graphics and gameplay will definitely surprise you compared to 360. Well worth the money.
Campaign is amazing...online is pretty sick and the alien mode is unreal
Most people hate on this franchise but I don't know why. There is a reason that this is the number one next-gen game. It has non-stop action and amazing ste pieces. Yes Battlefield 4 does look more breathtaking however COD is a much more entertaining shooter, and has battles in space. SPACE BATTLES! What more could you ask for!
Well people I am a huge fan of Infinity Ward from COD 4 days however since then they keep letting me down. If you like the Black Ops series of game from Treyarch then do not buy this product everything feels different in every way. I appreciate the fast pace and action that Black Ops brought on medium and small maps but every map on Ghosts feels huge and slow. You don't feel rewarded when you play well like you do in Black Ops. Everything about this games spawning to slower pace just ruined it for me. Stick to the developer you enjoy and you won't be let down like I am every year.
The look and feel of the old MW series but with a new story. Solid game and the multiplayer is good. if you are a fan of the series it might be getting a little old but it is still the best FPS out there. give it a try!
I got this game because the previous CoD games have never been that good but are an addiction. Plus Infinity Ward usually does a great job. But unfortunately, internal struggle ripped IW apart from the inside. What is left is a shell of it's former self. And that is evident with this entry. It doesn't have a Call of Duty feel. It's more generic then it usually is. It doesn't look that good on Xbox One either for an HD title. And not the whole 720p upscale thing either. Textures look awful. Some areas look good, others look like Xbox 360. Not surprising, since this is still built using the 360 engine.
Overall, another generic entry to the CoD series with big maps and low textures.
Great games
I found the multiplayer maps way too large in this games in comparison to previous cod games
The campaign however is very good. Good story nice graphics
First off, the game is pretty neat. Great graphics. Added layer of complexity to the ranking system adds more opportunity for playability. Only thing I dislike is lack of care packages. Great variance in maps, those are well thought out.
Love it! Same basic game we love, but enough new features and modes fo make it fresh and interesting. Grpahics are good, but nothing amazing, I'm assuming it was designed for 360 and PS3 and they just upscaled the graphics for the new gen. Still fun as hell!
This game is an immense improvement from the last Call of Duty. It has combined some of the old features that were great with new additions and improved graphics.

Twenty seven years ago, Allen Saxe wrestled a concrete bench onto the grass past the sidewalk in front of his Dilworth home.
It wasn't for his kids – he had no little ones then – but "a public bench." Over the years, kids rode their trikes to it, waited for the school bus on it and picked weeds from around it to take home to mom.
On Thursday, a community police officer emailed Saxe to suggest he move the bench: A neighbor had expressed concern "it could attract more homeless to the area." The email said a man had been "found passed out and had to be transported to the hospital (a) couple weeks ago."
Saxe, who founded the Dilworth Soup Kitchen in 2009, was not prepared to move the bench from the public right of way – the strips of land between sidewalks and streets that homeowners maintain but don't own.
"The bench has been there for over 20 years and will remain," began his email reply to police. It concluded with his view of the man found passed out: "I am pleased that someone in real need of a rest found it."
That found its way onto Facebook, via daughter Talia – now grown and living in New York. By Friday morning, besides having 47 "likes", that post (plus Saxe's own, and email and phone conversations) had neighbors volunteering to do a "sit-on," bring their kids over to paint their names on it, recruit a high school student to write a story for the Dilworth Quarterly and/or begin a movement by residents to put benches in front of their own houses.
The tensions of living in Charlotte's oldest streetcar suburb – close to urban uptown, with some of the city's more expensive homes and a history of compassionate ventures from soup kitchens to emergency housing for kids – are not lost on residents.
Missy Owen, an attorney who lives half a mile from the Saxe bench, said, "There are houses (here) that people might say are bigger targets for crime. We're close to the city, we're more exposed to homelessness. I do understand the police's efforts. But in the effort to have a community … this (bench) is one of the many structures that welcome people, that make it a real, living, breathing community."
Some are more straightforward.
"I'm going to throw up," said Joal Fischer, who also has a bench – actually two – on the public area in front of his Dilworth home, half a mile down the street from the Saxes. "Come on. There are more important things to complain about. Go do something about homelessness."
Owen said moving the bench from the parkway to Saxe's property, as the officer suggested, misses the point, since it "would then be a bench for the homeowners, rather than me, the public."
Anne McQuiston lives three doors down from the bench. "When we moved to Dilworth 40 years ago," she said, "it was very important to be moving to a community that … embraced diversity.
"So to hear that you're moving a bench because it might attract the homeless flies in the face of the things we believe in."
Saxe, a retired anthropology professor married to Jessica Schorr Saxe, who writes occasional pieces for The Observer, said in his work with the soup kitchens, he has spoken with people who have had bad experiences. "That fear is real. I understand that."
A follow-up email from the police pointed out to Saxe that the bench, being on a city right of way, was "subject to removal."
Saxe said he has emailed both the officer – to ask "is there a time limit?" – and Mayor Patsy Kinsey, but has not received a reply. Both also had not replied to emails from The Observer.

That friend needs to be dumped. It is hard to find friends as an adult that have alot of time to invest in a close friendship. I have alot of friends but their availabily is limited so I take what I can get. I've learned to go anywhere I want alone.. I've met some really interesting people that way.
|Sun, 09-23-2012 - 10:41am
I dumped a friend for flakiness once and never looked back. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. Well, but she wasn't just flaky . . . she also was super competitive and I got tired of feeling like we were frenemies.
Like Camult, I go almost anywhere I want alone. Movies, art galleries, antique stores, shopping, book stores, botanical gardens . . . about the only thing I refuse to do alone is dinner right at peak dinner time. Lunch doesn't bother me because I can take a book along and if I time it right, the place isn't crowded. Anyway, unlike Camult, I rarely make a new friend. I get so engrossed in whatever, that I am oblivious as to what is going on around me. Plus, I'm rather shy around strangers.
I actually have no idea how to forge a friendship at our ages (not real sure of your age) . . . most of my friends, I've had for a decade or more. Send some of those gays my way, LOL. I've always wanted a gay bestie! I know they aren't pets, they're people, but I'm being honest ;]
|Sun, 09-23-2012 - 10:56am
I think how to make friends depends on your age. I think in one way it's easier if you're younger cause there are so many more young single people, but then when you start getting into 30's it's peak marrying time--if you hang on a while, then everybody starts getting divorced. When I got divorced I was about 50 and it seemed like my single friends had dwindled down to 2 so I set out on a mission to find new female friends even before thinking about dating. I joined a women's group that did different activities and it really took me almost 2 yrs to feel comfortable but I did meet some really nice women. Only problem--most of them are married so aside from official club activities I don't really get together with them. I think meetup groups or any group where you share a common activity is a good way to find someone.
I will do certain things alone but I kind of got sick of it too. I'll go shopping, museum, walking around somewhere but I think if you do it too much it gets lonely. I went to buy a gift certificate at a nice restaurant the other night and I was surprised to see a woman eating there alone reading a book, cause it's pretty upscale. I wouldn't have the nerve to do that & I'd think twice about the expense. When I went there with friends, my dinner (including dessert & one glass of wine) cost $50. I'd be more inclined to be eating pizza in a food court if I was alone. But I think if I did go alone, I might sit at the bar & at least you could talk to the bartender or hopefully other people at the bar--but who am I kidding? I wouldn't have the nerve--I'd feel like everyone was looking at me, like why doesn't she have friends?
|Sun, 09-23-2012 - 10:59am
I have a few gay men friends--and they are all in serous relationships! Like together 30 yrs, so if you are older, you get the gay couple best friends. Oh and my teenage son is gay & just recently came out so he was annoyed that a girl he was kind of an acquaintance all of a sudden wants to be close friends and is jealous that he was picking out clothes for some other girls (he works in a clothing store). He said to me "well don't you know that every girl wants a gay guy friend?" lol
|Sun, 09-23-2012 - 11:38am
I think it is challenging to find friends but its not impossible.. I try and do a variety of things as to keep myself from not being so lonely or alone.. so if a neighbor or a friend asks me out I go as I dont want to burn that bridge.
I have two guy friends and last night we all went out to hang out and walk around and eat dinner. It was good company and we are all single so we shared single stories and we had a good time...
I also go out alone alot like cfk.. I will do walks, parks, bird watching, lunch or singles stuff and if I go alone I just attach myself to other people and talk and hang out and then I am not alone. Something I had to overcome and conquer.. I actually at times like going out alone because then I can do whatever I want.. and not be obligated to anyone.. Although it is challenging you would have to do it.. Just do it and then it gets easier. I will tell you that although it could be a bit uncomfortable the best times I had was when I would go out alone.............
Where I live there is huge sense of community and something is always going on whether its at the town hall or library or down the block and that is really comforting to me. As I can just walk out the door and be an activity and there always lots of people around. I met some women my age one day at library and I see them often around town doing things. So when I see them I just hang out with them or go with them wherever they are going..
So you have many choices and dont forget you are your own best friend first.. (lol)

How do you feel as mother finding out that your son is gay? Have you always known or was it a shock to you?
|Sun, 09-23-2012 - 7:22pm
Well, Misslynn, it is still sinking in because he just told me recently but I'm not totally surprised. He said to me "how didn't you know?" but he did have a GF on & off for a couple of years, but aside from that, he was not the typical boy--didn't like sports (even though his sis & I do), didn't have many guy friends, always seemed more comfortable with girls. I think he felt it was easy to tell me because my late brother was gay & I also have gay men friends. It was more difficult telling his father, who is kind of a macho guy, but not homophobic--but it's more difficult when it's your own child. I am more just worried about what other people will think or if he will face prejudice.
|Sun, 09-23-2012 - 7:54pm
I have no trouble eating out alone. Even on a Saturday night, which is not my preference because it tends to be noisy. Otherwise, let people stare away. If I want to go to a restuarant, I go.
|Sun, 09-23-2012 - 8:02pm
Thanks for sharing.
I used to have a gay couple as neighbours until they sold the house and moved away early this year. I missed them.
One of the guys' parents are very accepting of their relationship and comes around to help with repairs to the house. The other guys parents are more religious and is not accepting his choice. This guy told me he used to date girls and even got married and had 2 kids. In the end he couldn't hide it anymore.
Your son is very fortunate to have such an understanding and supportive Mom.
|Mon, 09-24-2012 - 8:14am
Gleannfia, I wish I had your cojones! I guess I just don't know what to do with myself if I'm not actively eating. If I'm reading, it's not a problem. Do you sit there and look contemplative? Do you people watch? Make conversation with the waitstaff? I find it awkward.

Frost & Sullivan Recognizes Windstream For Its Dominance In The North American VoIP Access And SIP Trunking Services Market
While progressively focusing on the enterprise customer through its hosted IP telephony solution or a managed service with its Allworx IP PBX platform deployed on the premises, Windstream has taken particular care to cater to the needs of small to mid-sized business customers with a feature-rich alternative to standard analog lines without the burden of capital expenditures.
Windstream only provides its VoIP trunking services over its multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) and data networks, to maintain quality of service for voice as well as to provide the flexibility of bundled pricing. In fact, the company's data/voice bundle is a differentiated solution, offering customers a set amount of bandwidth that they can leverage for all of their voice, Internet, and data network needs. So, for instance, when an enterprise site's connection is not in use for voice traffic, it is available for faster downloads.
"Windstream also directs significant effort on pre-sales engineering to ensure that the products and services it provides, meet specific customer needs," observed Brandenburg. "This approach offers superior value to customers compared to the delivery of a boiler-plate menu of services, ensures customer loyalty and retention, and provides opportunities for attachment of additional services going forward."
In recognition of these strategies that have maneuvered Windstream to the forefront of the VoIP access and SIP trunking services market in North America, Frost & Sullivan is pleased to present it with the 2012 Market Share Leadership Award. Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has demonstrated excellence in capturing the highest market share within its industry. The award recognizes the company's leadership position within the industry in terms of revenues.Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development.
