Supercharging 2003 F150 4x4 Crewcab, 5.4L Triton V8
Posts: 1
Does anyone know if supercharging a 2003 F150 4x4 crewcab will void the manufacturer's warranty? If no, will I be able to install the same supercharger and intercooler found in the SVT Lightning? By the way, what kind of supercharger and intercooler is in the SVT Lightnining?
obyone Posts: 8,065Most of the factory supercharged vehicles come with beefed up trans and rear end. If anything will void the manufacturer's warranty, it would be a supercharger, especially if the HP and torque ratings after install is above the manufacturer's spec for the vehicle.
What I would do is call the Ford dealers in your area and see if any of them do SC installs. In those cases, the dealership will warranty the SC and related components rather than Ford. Either way you will be covered.
If you bought yours from Cutter, forget it cause they won't do it.

Work begins on WYO 130 project southeast of Saratoga
Date: 02/09/2012
Work has begun on a detour around the temporary bridge spanning a section of WYO 130 washed out by flash flooding on Brush Creek about 22 miles southeast of Saratoga.
Work on the detour downstream from the temporary bridge is not expected to affect movement of alternating one-way traffic over the bridge, which has been in use on the highway since July 23.
Once the detour is completed, traffic will be diverted onto it so the bridge can be dismantled and new concrete culvert installed. The detour will handle alternating one-way traffic controlled by a temporary traffic signal.
Gillette's S&S Builders submitted the low bid of $829,000 to install the new larger drainage culvert, which is expected to be in place by April 15 to handle spring runoff. Once the culvert is installed, the highway will resume handling normal two-way traffic on temporary surfacing. Additional paving and a chip seal will follow by Aug. 31.
A temporary Web camera WYDOT installed to monitor the site can be viewed at www.wyoroad.info/highway/webcameras/WYO130RM55/WYO130RM55.html.
The flash flooding on July 19 eroded a trench about 25 feet wide and nine feet deep across the highway, resulting in the deaths of four members of a Colorado family whose vehicle was washed away by the torrent at about 1:30 a.m.

No one remembers who came in second.
Brandon Jacobs, DJ Ware aren't doing much these days.
So what's with Bradshaw. Didn't see game or highlights of bengals debacle. Did he suffer more injuries to his already long list of ailments. And what tests has he taken and when are the results expected?
Football has been very, very good to us.
Even though 2013 was a losing season, we can console ourselves with this fact-

A Novel Large Deformation Finite Element Approach To Modelling Micro-Damage And Micro-Fracture In Trabecular Bone
Noel Harrison, Pat McDonnell, Liam Mullins, Prof. Peter McHugh
This project is concerned with the development of a method of generating highly detailed computer models of bones to help engineers understand how bones deform and how they might fracture when subjected to the forces of daily life. This is done by creating an accurate computer representation of the structure of bone at the micro-scale, determined from CT or MRI scan data. The models can then be used to examine how weak points in the bone can lead to the generation of cracks and, ultimately, fracture. The models are particularly useful in the study of osteoporosis, which is a disease that causes weakening of bones and that can be partially detected using CT or MRI scans. Using the models, engineers will be able to quantify the extent to which the disease reduces the amount of force a bone can carry, and they will also be able to quantify how effective drug treatments are on counteracting the effects of osteoporosis and improving bone strength. Since the method uses CT or MRI scan data different models can be generated for different patients – they can be "patient specific" greatly increasing their usefulness. The illustration shows one of the highly detailed computer simulations of the deformation of trabecular bone, which makes up the interior of our bones, where the colour contours indicate regions of high stress and increased fracture risk. Noel Harrison won first Prize for Best Overall Oral Presentation at the European Society of Biomechanics Summer Workshop 2007 for a presentation of this work.

Re:Nice accomplishment! (154 comments)
With a good macro assembler you can quite easily create your own higher level language. I've done that several times. Porting a game in the old 8/16 bit days from 6502/6809/z80/68000 was just a set of assembler macros for each low level operation of your game creation langauge. Only a few specific time critical bits of code ever ended up in true native, mainly the blit code. Porting games even in assembler was quite quick, you just had to start out with the correct technique. All thoses guys that wrote piles and piles of hand crafted native assembler without useing the macros we're just crazy.

What would happen if you had 'real' child porn, but put it through a 'line drawing, edge detection and colour fill' shader on somthing like Photoshop or an auto Rotoscope'r video process. Would it still count ? Could you tell it was from an original ? Where is the line ? I can only see that actual acts against a real child can be sure to cross the line. ps.

What does Japan do about the Manga and Hentai stuff that rest of the world considers child porn but Japan considers 'just drawings', and dare I say part of Japanease culture ? I remember sitting on a train in Japan with the guy next to me reading 'Rape Man' and he was just your average dude going to work on the train. I'm not going to get drawn into a 'what is child porn' debate. But I do tend to think a drawing is a drawing, regardless of what's contained in the drawing.

2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LS Crew Cab 4WD
ProsBeen a great truck, but I took a job at a Ford dealership and am looking to get an F150.. ConsService air bag light just came on. Someone predicted a corrodid contact on the front sensor. Not sure how to fix this.
It's Great! Rides And Drives Great — I like this color. The seats are really comfortable. The back seat is big enough for a car seat for my grand kids. I would recomend this truck for anyone. For the money, it should last for a long time. The roll up cover is great when hauling things and the nerf bars make it easy to get in and out of. The 5.3 engine has plenty of power and goes down the highway very nice. Primary Use: Family transportation

2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LS Short Bed 2WD
ProsLS engine, big front brakes, easy as hell to maintain, parts are cheap, decent highway mileage, fairly comfortable for long drives ConsInconsistent assembly quality, infamous steering shaft clunk, lots of wheel hop, ancient transmission
A Big, Simple Machine For Big, Simple People Such As Myself — Plenty of grunt, excellent brakes even with rear drums, decent but wallowy handling from the factory. The 3.23 rearend means good mileage on the highway, but pokey acceleration around town, despite 335 lb/ft of torque. Torque management is heavy handed, and the 4 speed automatic sucks. Curb weight is not outrageous, but still 500 lbs heavier than my 1992 model. Despite all that, it will easily crank out mid-7 second 0-60 times and effortlessly hit the 99mph speed limiter. Aftermarket modifications can greatly enhance performance. I get about 17mpg around town and 21-22 on the highway. I've seen as high as 25mpg. Build quality is erratic, but it should hold together for a long, long time. The dash plastic is the hardest, most obnoxiously cheap material known to man. Tons of aftermarket parts available, bulletproof engine, and probably the last of the Chevy trucks recognizable as a "Chevy Truck" rather than an "Amorphous slab of sheetmetal". Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Short Bed 2WD
ProsIts a chevy(: ConsThe fact that its a V6 is a little disapointing.
Awsome Truck,very Fun To Drive. — This truck is a great first car and daily driver. Its got plenty of power and will get up and go when is asked to. The 4.3L V6 has got plenty of towing power as well. Its very fun to drive but rides kind of rough because of the shortwheel base. I would suggest this truck to anyone who is looking for a good looking daily driver. |
2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LS Crew Cab 2WD
Prosgreat performance Consnone
My Chevy — originally bought the truck just to tow my DJ trailer around, but i decided that i wanted to build more of a performance truck out of it. its fun to drive, exhaust and intake add a huge power gain and sound great. good for hauling gear and trailers and for hitting the drag strip with. overall just a great ride to have. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LS Ext Cab 4WD
ProsDrives like a champ. Very dependable car, easy to work on. ConsThe half doors were suicide doors- always had to adjust them & eventually couldn't adjust any longer so the "leaked" air. Just a bench for passengers- not roomy for kids in car seats.
'ol Blue — Loved this truck. Hauled and towed many things. Very dependable, easy ride no engine troubles whatsoever. Would definitely buy again but without the half doors. I traded her in at 132000 miles and she has never let me down. I did basic maintenance and had a champ of a truck for a decade. |
2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LS Ext Cab 2WD
ProsGreat power and reliable. Cons2 wd
Good Work Vehicle, Lots Of Head Room And Leg Space. — I like when I have to hit the gas the truck gets up and moves without drinking a lot of gas. I love the truck it is just time to up grade. I will miss it but it will bee a great addition for someone else. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Z71 Crew Cab 4WD
Prosdurable. reliable. Consspeedometer broke after 100000 miles
Great Work/hunting Truck!! — love my truck - it has been a great truck. I do everything with it. It is very reliable and a great ride. Would definitely by another one just like it. Only problem I have had is the speedometer quit working around 110,000 miles and you have to replace the who console to fix it. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Z71 Crew Cab 4WD
ProsGood all around vehicle. Cheap for year model. Conssome maintenance required with high miles, nothing major.
Good All Around Vehicle. — I like the overall performance of the vehicle and the price for year model. The downside is some maintenance is required due to high miles. But all and all not that bad of a vehicle and I plan on keeping vehicle for a long time. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT Crew Cab Short Bed 4WD
ProsGreat Truck!!!!!! I LOVE THE Chevy LT Crew Cab ConsFor this truck nothing for most Chevy's it's the rocker rust.
Silverado Great Truck !!!! — Always starts, runs and drivers like a dream. The heated seats are awesome. Very spacious interior. Rides like a car but tough as a Chevy truck. The sun roof in the truck is cool and nice on those spring nights. Primary Use: Family transportation |
2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LS Ext Cab 2WD
ProsGreat truck. Extremely reliable, and dependable. ConsSmall back seat.
Perfect Truck For All Needs — This truck was a limo, a moving truck, a hauler, a camping tent, a bus, there is nothing that this truck can't do. It's been extremely reliable. After 135000 miles the only thing I have replaced was the thermostat. If I was not planning on having a large family I would keep mine. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

Conditional Pardon for Francis MacNamara September 25, 1847. |
From the Foreword
'Frank' was indeed an Irish convict, though probably a Protestant, not a Catholic; and he personally underwent many of the experiences, including repeated floggings, which are reflected in his verses.
As time goes on interest in Australia's beginnings, and in contemporary views of them, can only increase. Frank's life and verse will be of even more concern to Australians a hundred or a thousand years hence, than they are now. The authors of this book have earned the gratitude of posterity.

George V. Wolfe Scholarship
Dr. George V. Wolfe founded the College's Department of Political Economy in 1946. Dr. Wolfe received his law degree from the University of Vienna. After fleeing his native Austria on the eve of World War II in 1939, he served as an in-residence scholar in the Department of Political Science at Yale University before coming to The College of Idaho.
Over a 24-year period, many of George Wolfe's students attended outstanding law schools and graduate schools, a tradition that still holds today. Here is a guide to his papers. George Wolfe also delivered the The First Annual College of Idaho Lecture in the Liberal Arts on April 29, 1970.
The George V. Wolfe Endowed Scholarship is awarded each spring to an outstanding College of Idaho student for the sophomore, junior or senior year at The College of Idaho.
In order to qualify, a student must:
- be attending The College of Idaho;
- have a cumulative grade point average of no less than 3.0;
- be majoring either in Political Economy, International Political Economy, History, or Philosophy, or be a bona fide pre-law student majoring in any discipline;
- demonstrate financial need (based on the Financial Aid Form).
The completed application form (available below) and a transcript are due by noon on Friday, March 6, 2015, in the Office of the Student Financial Services in Hendren Hall.
Applicants will be interviewed by a selection committee consisting of representatives of the Political Economy, History, and Philosophy departments, one at-large faculty member and a graduate of the College who is currently practicing law in the Treasure Valley.
Interviews will begin on Wednesday March 11, 2015. Candidates will be notified.

4 snowmobiles stolen in Huntsville last week
HUNTSVILLE — Perfect snow conditions this year yield to having more snow machines in the area.
Huntsville Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) would like to remind owners to secure their machines the best they can to prevent them from being stolen.
They say that on Thursday February 6 police were advised of a snow machine that was sitting at the end of Fairyview Dr in the town of Huntsville.
The 2006 Yamaha Vector 1000 was located and found to have been taken from a residence on Winona Dr.Huntsville.
Officers found that a second machine had also been taken.
Missing is a 2006 Yamaha RX1 blue in colour with registration number 967260.
On Friday, officers were advised of a break in to a garage on West Fox Lake Road, Huntsville.
And taken from the break in were two 1999 Bombardier MXZ600, both of them yellow in colour.
Also taken from this break in was a framing nailer, M Globe air compressor, blue in colour and several hand tools.
To help keep your sleds safe, Huntsville OPP recommend putting them in a secure area, out of sight of any would be thieves, or find a way to make inoperable when not using them and remove the keys from the ignition.
Anyone with any information about these thefts is asked to contact Huntsville OPP or Crime Stoppers.

I have an old garage that is being converted into living space. The second floor has 2X6 rafters 24" on center 16 ' long with a 10 12 pitch. The building inspector stated I have to build them out because of insulation requirements. I thought about butting up to the 2X6's a 2x12 or using Sampson strongtie RC1.56 Ripper Clip or using plywood gussets and adding a 2X10 on top of the 2x6. By adding on top the depth would be greater then the 2x12 but much more work. Any opinions or has anyone done something different? Thnaks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Were it I, I would add as little weight as possible by suspending a 2x2 or 2x4 from 3 cleats made of plywood over the length of the rafter. |
- Posted by akamainegrower (My Page) on Mon, Jul 8, 13 at 5:42
What R-value does the relevant code require? This information would determine how much depth (if any) you'd need to add to the rafters using the highest R value insulation - probably closed cell foam - you can find. |

2013 Chevrolet Equinox Review and Prices

2013 Chevrolet Equinox Buying Advice
The 2013 Chevrolet Equinox is the best crossover for you if you want the updated version of America's most popular midsize SUV.
The 2013 Chevrolet Equinox gets a welcome boost in power with a larger available V-6 – at no sacrifice in fuel economy. A power front passenger seat is offered for the first time. So is a dual-screen DVD entertainment system to compliment what's already one of the most comfortable back seats in the class. The 2013 Chevrolet Equinox's dimensions, basic shape and underpinnings are unchanged. This five-passenger wagon debuted in its current form for model-year 2010. It quickly became a strong seller for its handsome looks, good fuel economy, roominess, and value.
Should you buy a 2013 Chevrolet Equinox or wait for the 2014 Chevrolet Equinox? Wait for the 2014 Equinox if you're interested in GM's eAssist mild-hybrid powertrain. Using an electric motor to assist a four-cylinder gas engine, eAssist should improve fuel economy – if not performance – compared with today's already-frugal Equinox four-cylinder. What the 2014 Equinox likely won't get is a styling update – not with the next fully redesigned version due for model-year 2015. That makes the 2013 Equinox a good choice if you're happy with its powertrains and features and don't want to own a crossover that'll look dated not long after you buy it.
2013 Chevrolet Equinox Changes back to top
Styling: Somewhat unexpectedly, the 2013 Chevrolet Equinox's styling isn't changed. With a slew of fresher-looking rivals coming to market, this Chevy probably would have benefited from a makeover, even just a new grille insert and maybe different taillamp lenses. Optimists hoped for a reshaped hood and fenders and front and rear fascias. They expected a more aggressive look overall.
But this four-door wagon keeps its 2010-vintage profile, chiseled body, and gently sloping roofline. Sizewise, Equinox remains roughly midpack for five-passenger midsize crossovers, though it has a longer wheelbase than rivals such as the Ford Edge and Subaru Outback.
Wheelbase is the distance between the front and rear axles and key to a vehicle's interior roominess. Indeed, the 2013 Equinox again provides a spacious passenger compartment. It seats four adults very comfortably; a fifth can squeeze into the rear seat for shorter trips. The back bench seat slides fore or aft over a nearly 8-inch track to customize passenger or cargo space. Of course, rear legroom shrinks with the back seat moved forward and cargo volume is truncated with the seat in its rearmost position.
The rear seatbacks fold flat on a 60/40-split basis to help expand carrying space. Overall, 2013 Equinox cargo volume is on par with five-seaters of its size: around 32 cubic feet behind the rear seat and almost 64 cubic feet with the rear seatbacks folded.
The 2013 Chevrolet Equinox remains mechanically related to the more self-consciously macho-looking GMC Terrain. They share underskin architecture and most components. And both qualify as crossover SUVs because they ride on a car-like unibody structure. Compared to the traditional truck-based SUVs that ruled America's driveways in the 1990s early 2000s, lighter unibody crossovers have a lower step-in height, better fuel economy, and more amenable ride and handling.
Chevy's had good luck with a four-level Equinox model lineup and repeats it for 2013. It begins with the base LS trim, and ascends through the volume-selling 1LT and the well-equipped 2LT versions, to the leather-upholstered and fully equipped LTZ.
Mechanical: The 2013 Chevrolet Equinox continues with two engine choices, both available with front- or all-wheel drive.
The base engine is again a 2.4-literfour-cylinder rated at 182 horsepower and 172 pound-feet of torque (think of torque as the muscle that gets you moving, horsepower as the energy that keeps you going.)
The four-cylinder is peppy enough to suit most buyers and we recommended it over the previously available V-6. That 3.0-liter made an impressive-on-paper 264 horsepower but a disappointing-in-the-real-world 222 pound-feet of torque.
For model-year 2013 Chevy wisely replaces the 3.0-liter with GM's 3.6-liter V-6, an engine used in a variety of cars and SUVs, including the Cadillac XTS flagship, the Chevy Camaro, and the 2013 GMC Terrain.
In the 2013 Equinox, it's an option for the 1LT, 2LT, and LTZ models, where it's rated at 301 horsepower and 272 pound-feet of torque. That's a horsepower boost of 14 percent and a torque increase of 22 percent over the 3.0-liter six. Both are evident in more immediate response and widen the excitement gap between a four- and six-cylinder Equinox.
Both Equinox engines have direct fuel-injection to help maximize output while maintaining reasonable fuel economy. The 3.0-liter V-6 did, too.
In anything but gentle cruising, however, the 3.6-liter as installed in the Equinox feels coarse and loud. It's better isolated in the other vehicles in which it's used, and invites you to dig deeper into the throttle to access all its power.
With either engine, the 2013 Equinox employs a smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transmission. Its floor-mounted lever includes a separate shift mode for drivers who like manual-type gear selection. And the transmission used with the four-cylinder includes a selectable "Eco" mode that alters the shift schedule to help fuel economy. The Eco mode essentially taps the higher gears sooner than normal and unfortunately tends to make the vehicle a bit slower in the process.
Any 2013 Chevrolet Equinox trim level is available with a choice of front-wheel drive or all-wheel-drive (AWD). Front-drive concentrates the mass of the engine and transmission in the vehicle's nose, over the tires that also propel it. That helps maximize interior packaging and enhances wet-surface traction.
Like virtually every crossover, Equinox isn't designed for serious off-road use. But its AWD improves traction in snowy road conditions or on uphill gravel driveways or similar loose surfaces. In typical fashion, the 2013 Equinox system automatically shuffles power between the front and the rear wheels as necessary to counteract wheel slippage and maintain grip.
Standard active safety systems again include stability control (now mandated by federal regulation) to help prevent the Equinox from fishtailing out of control in extreme or emergency handling situations, traction control to help launch it on slippery surfaces, and antilock brakes to help prevent skidding in sudden stops.
Equinox continues with one of the best ride-handling blends in its competitive set. It's firm but composed on bumpy roads, cruises confidently, and changes direction with good grip and modest body lean. For 2013, models with the 3.6-liter V-6 get Chevy's handling-tuned FE2 suspension package; it's evident mostly in marginally sharper steering response and doesn't unduly penalize ride comfort.
Four-cylinder Equinoxes and 1LT and 2LT models with the V-6 come with 17-inch alloy wheels as standard equipment. Eighteen-inch alloys are available on the LT and LTZ models, with 19s optionally exclusive to the LTZ. V-6 LTZs get a choice of chrome-clad 18s or 19s.
Features: The 2013 Chevrolet Equinox expands its features to include several new convenience items. These include the rear-seat DVD entertainment system with dual screens in the front seatbacks and dual wireless headphones.
Standard on the LTZ and optional on the 2LT are option packages that include Equinox's first universal remote opener for garage doors and security gates and the power front passenger seat. Also standard on the LTZ and optional on the 2LT is a power liftgate programmable to two opening heights.
Leather upholstery is standard on the LTZ and optional on the 2LT model. So is a navigation system paired with Chevrolet's MyLink infotainment system. Chevy's answer to Ford's Sync, MyLink affords hands-free operation of Bluetooth-linked mobile phones and the audio system. Users can select songs and playlists stored on their mobile devices via voice commands and can stream music from their smartphones to be played through the audio system via the Pandora Internet radio and Stitcher SmartRadio services.
Every 2013 Equinox comes with GM's useful OnStar assistance system and a free six-month subscription to services that include turn-by-turn directions delivered through the audio system, automatic crash response, remote door unlock, and stolen-vehicle slowdown.
Bluetooth hands-free connectivity is standard on every 2013 Equinox. USB iPod linking and a review camera are standard on all but the LS model. Remote engine start is standard on the LTZ and available on both LT models.
Safety features include General Motors' Forward Collision Alert and Lane Departure Warning crash avoidance system. It's standard on the Equinox LTZ and 2LT models and unavailable on the LS and 1LT.
Less complex and more affordable than similar technology from other automakers, the GM system mounts a high-resolution camera on the windshield ahead of the rearview mirror. It scans the road ahead for vehicles and lane markers and gives audible and visual warnings if it determines the Equinox is following a vehicle too closely or is inadvertently crossing lane markers. If it senses an imminent frontal collision, the system pre-charges the brakes to immediately engage at full force.
Returning as standard across the 2013 Equinox line are power locks, mirrors, and windows. Air conditioning, a CD audio system with XM satellite radio, a digital compass, and a tilt/telescoping steering wheel are other standard features. (Chevy dealers also offer a device that turns the Equinox into a rolling Wi-Fi hot spot for connecting portable devices to the Internet.)
2013 Chevrolet Equinox Prices back to top
Base-price range for the 2013 Chevrolet Equinox is $24,580-$33,090. (Base prices in this review include the manufacturer's destination fee; Chevrolet's fee for the 2013 Equinox is $825.)
The 2013 range represents a modest increase over 2012 prices and keeps Equinox very competitive against a range of rivals. For example, starting prices for four- and six-cylinder versions of the Chevy are below those of such crossovers as the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, Nissan Murano, and Ford Edge.
Base price for the 2013 Chevrolet Equinox LS is $24,580 front-wheel drive and $26,330 with AWD.
The 2013 Chevrolet Equinox 1LT starts at $26,225 with front-wheel drive and $27,975 with AWD. The 2013 Equinox 2LT is priced from $28,095 with front-drive and from $29,845 with AWD.
The top-of-the-line 2013 Equinox LTZ starts at $31,340 with front-drive and $33,090 with AWD.
Adding the 3.6-liter V-6 to the 2013 Equinox 1LT, 2LT or LTZ costs $1,500, but requires the $395 Pioneer Audio Package upgrade, bringing the total to $1,895. That's some $400 over the cost over the 2012 3.0-liter V-6.
Among notable options, the navigation with Chevrolet MyLink costs $795, the dual DVD system $1,295, and a power moonroof $900. Leather is an $800 option for the 2LT model.
2013 Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Economy back to top
EPA fuel economy ratings for the 2013 Chevrolet Equinox are unchanged – despite addition of the more powerful V-6.
With the four-cylinder engine, the 2013 Chevrolet Equinox is rated 22/32/26 mpg city/highway/combined with front-wheel-drive and 20/29/23 mpg with AWD.
These ratings keep the four-cylinder 2013 Equinox among the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid five-passenger midsize crossover SUVs sold in the U.S.
With the 3.6-liter V-6, the 2013 Equinox rates 176/24/20 with front drive and 16/23/19 mpg with AWD. This mileage is in line with the 3.6-liter Equinox's competitive set, though most rivals have less horsepower.
2013 Chevrolet Equinox Release Date back to top
The 2013 Chevrolet Equinox went on sale in late summer 2012.
What's next for the 2013 Chevrolet Equinox back to top
This second-generation Equinox continues to sell at a brisk pace and Chevy probably sees no rush to invest in a completely new model sooner than the marketplace would dictate. For that matter, it didn't over-invest in its model-year 2013 "midcycle makeover." Chevy evidently believes the styling – by now quite familiar -- has the staying power to see Equinox through to the next full redesign, almost certain to arrive during 2014 as a 2015 model.
Chevy could always throw the competition a curve and facelift Equinox for model-year 2014. But sources say the big model-year 2014 change will be availability of GM's fuel-saving eAssist system.
2013 Chevrolet Equinox Competition back to top
Ford Edge: Consider Ford's midsize five-passenger crossover if you aim slightly upscale of the Equinox. Edge is a good match for the Chevy for interior space, though its racier styling dictates a more closed-in cabin feel. A 285-horsepower 3.5-liter V-6 is standard and rates 19/27/22 mpg with front-drive and 18/25/21 with AWD. Edge Sport models borrow their 305-horswpower 3.7-liter V-6 from the Mustang and rate 19/26/22 and 17/23/19, respectively. Edge also offers the 2.0-liter version of Ford's turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder. With 270 pound-feet of torque, it delivers V-6-like acceleration with four-cylinder fuel economy of around 21/30/24 mpg. Unfortunately, it's a $995 option and isn't available with AWD. Edge's ride and handling are good but unexceptional. And the confounding MyFord Touch multimedia operating system can be infuriating; it's standard or optional, depending on the trim level. Base-price range for the 2013 Ford Edge is $28,350-$39,885.
Subaru Outback: This five-seater is a fine foil for the Equinox, even though it looks more like an overgrown station wagon than a conventional SUV. Outback's ace is brilliant packaging that gives it more passenger volume, more cargo space, and more ground clearance than the Equinox. It comes standard with AWD and, thanks in part to low-profile horizontally opposed engines, has a relatively low center of gravity for good handling. Outbacks weigh less than the other crossovers in this grouping, so the 173-horsepower four-cylinder versions are adequate performers. They rate 21/28/24 mpg with manual transmission, 24/30/26 with a continuously variable automatic, and have a base-price range of $24,290-$29,890. Six-cylinder Outbacks have a lively 256 horsepower, rate 18/25/20 mpg, and have a base-price range of $29,290-$32,890.
Hyundai Santa Fe Sport: Redesigned for model-year 2013, this is a very polished five-seater with the kind of modern styling that makes the Equinox look dated. Not to be confused with the longer, 7-passenger V-6 Santa Fe, the 2013 Santa Fe Sport comes only with four-cylinder engines. The 190-horsepower base version is a good match for the four-cylinder Equinox. With front-drive it starts at $25,275 and rates a laudable 23/33/26 mpg. With AWD it's priced from $27,925 and rates 20/29/23. The 2.0T model with its 264-horsepower turbocharged four feels quicker and more refined than the V-6 Equinox. With front-drive, the 2.0T starts at $28,525 and rates a laudable 22/31/25 mpg. With AWD it's priced from $30,275 and rates 20/28/22. Kia is a Hyundai corporate partner and its version of the Santa Fe is the Sorento. The Sorento is available with a tiny third-row seat and actually outsells the Santa Fe, but we'd wait for the substantially revised 2014 Sorento.

6 things you didn't know about women and high blood pressure
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – May 13, 2013 -- National Women's Health Week, celebrated from May 12 – 18, brings together communities, health organizations and other groups to raise awareness for women's health topics. Most people recognize conditions such as breast cancer and cervical cancer as threats to women's health, but did you know that the No. 1 cause of death for all adults in the United States is actually heart disease? If not, you may be surprised to learn that one of the contributing factors in heart disease is high blood pressure, a preventable and treatable condition that affects 77.9 million Americans, according to the American Heart Association.
"The statistics are shocking," said Barbara (Babs) Brown, DNP at Saint Thomas Heart. "Did you know 1 in 3 adults suffer from high blood pressure? Or that only half of those with high blood pressure have their condition under control? This is a public health crisis, but we don't talk about it nearly as much as other conditions and diseases."
To raise awareness for the disease, Brown shared six more surprising facts about high blood pressure. She noted:
- One in 5 Americans with high blood pressure doesn't know that he/she has it.
- The only way to identify high blood pressure is through regular check-ups. When blood pressure is dangerously high, symptoms such as headaches and chest pain may emerge, but otherwise high blood pressure is a silent epidemic.
- Smoking and sodium intake are two of the top risk factors. Others include being overweight or obese, a lack of physical activity, stress, and excessive alcohol consumption.
- Genetics are a risk factor. In the United States, African Americans are twice as likely as whites to have high blood pressure. The gap narrows around age 44, although black women aged 65 and older have the highest incidence of high blood pressure.
- Some drugs may increase the risk for high blood pressure. These drugs include over-the-counter medications that contain pseudoephedrine and ephedrine, such as allergy and cold medicines and appetite suppressants.
- The recommended blood pressure for most persons is below 140/90. For every 20 millimeter increase in systolic blood pressure (the top number) or 10 millimeter increase in diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number), the risk for a cardiovascular event such as heart attack or stroke doubles.
For Americans with high blood pressure, the good news is that, once identified, it can be controlled with lifestyle changes and medication. Controlling this condition protects the heart, brain, kidneys and other important organs from damage, so Brown strongly recommends that all adults have their blood pressure checked regularly.
"Make an appointment with your provider, and tell your friends and family to, as well. Having regular check-ups can save your heart and save your life," she said.
As the cause sponsor for the American Heart Association Go Red for Women campaign in Davidson, Williamson, Sumner and Rutherford counties, Saint Thomas Heart is committed to decreasing the number of Middle Tennessee women affected by heart disease.

Document Type Doctoral Thesis Author Liebenberg, Junita email@example.com URN etd-01062011-153805 Document Title Ehrlichia ruminantium : genome assembly and analysis with the identification and testing of vaccine candidate genes Degree PhD Department Veterinary Tropical Diseases Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Dr N E Collins Co-Supervisor Prof B A Allsopp Supervisor Keywords
- Ehrlichia ruminantium
- vaccine candidate genes
Date 2010-11-26 Availability unrestricted Abstract A shotgun genome sequencing project was undertaken in the expectation that access to the entire protein coding potential of E. Ruminantium (Welgevonden) will facilitate the identification of vaccine candidate genes against heartwater. The 1,516,355 bp sequence is predicted to encode 888 proteins and 41 stable RNA species. The most prominent feature is the large number of tandemly repeated and duplicated sequences, some of continuously variable copy number. These repeats have mediated numerous translocation and inversion events and seem to be responsible for the generation of both new full and partial protein coding sequences. There are 32 predicted pseudogenes, most of which are truncated fragments of genes associated with repeats. Of the 13 members of the order Rickettsiales compared in this study, E. Ruminantium has the lowest coding capacity (62%), lowest GC content (27.5%), but the highest proportion of repetitive sequences, which comprise 8.5% of the genome. Metabolic reconstruction of E. Ruminantium revealed the metabolic and biosynthetic capabilities typical of an obligate intracellular organism. We identified a number of genes unique to E. Ruminantium, most of which are not functionally characterised in any organism, and those shared with 12 other members of the Rickettsiales. Bioinformatic tools were used to identify possible vaccine candidates from the annotated genome sequence. The protective properties of seven open reading frames (ORFs), which induced cellular immune responses in vitro, were tested in vivo Only 20% survival was obtained in sheep immunised with a DNA formulation consisting of three ORFs. We found that the levels of peripheral blood mononuclear cell proliferation and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) production did not correlate with each other, nor with the levels of protection, suggesting that the current assays are just not reliable and that IFN-γ expression alone is not an indicator of protection. Therefore more cytokines and different assays will have to be investigated to define in detail what constitutes a protective immune response against E. Ruminantium infection. However, the data generated from the genome sequence will continue to facilitate novel approaches to study the organism and to develop an efficacious vaccine against heartwater.

This student-led service is designed to bring attention and focus on a time of worship and communion for all who attend.
"It is a time to gather before the Lord, giving Him the things we trust Him the least with, and letting God bring to light those things which are in the darkness," said Josh York, U-Church director.
This theme is based on 1 John 1:5-7 which states, "This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin."
Free child care is available for all who attend.
For more information about child care, contact Christie Wyatt at email@example.com.
Seating for U-Church events is first-come first-served. The service is a free, non-ticketed event, and the community is welcome to attend. The doors will open at 7 p.m.

I like this stuff. It makes my lashes stand out. I rotate between this on Maybelline's Unstoppable (which I only wear when I want to show off my liner colors versus my lashes.)
The only thing I notice is if I don't swipe the brush on a paper towel, it can get clumpy after the first application. But that only seems to happen weeks after I bought it. It's never clumpy when it's a fresh bottle and I try everything that I can to make sure I don't dry out my product.
I rotate between 4 different mascaras, but this one seems to be the most noticable. It separates, lengthens and actually thickens very nicely, better than my other mascaras. Dosent clump either and is fairly inexpensive.
I got mine in blue-black. Like someone else mentioned, even if its not water proof, its a little difficult to remove, but I don't mind.
I will repurchase.
This mascara is a great find for me. It really thickens and separates my already long (blond) lashes. It even lengthens a little, plus NO FLAKING for me. I normally have a problem with mascara smudging under my eyes, but this doesn't smudge either. I agree that the thicker the formula is the more often you must replace it, but still this lasts for a couple of months and it's dirt cheap at walmart or the drug store. I think there were 4 color choices, brown, black/brown (my choice), black and very black. One very small "flaw", it's a bit more difficult to remove (it is washable), but I use olive oil or baby oil and it does come off. I never use a foaming cleanser or soap on my face, but that might take it right off easily. I will continue to buy this - it's super.

Good thickening effect, clumping is low to medium, about what you would expect from an inexpensive, thickening mascara. You will probably need to use a lash comb with this. For the price, I was pretty pleased. I would buy this again.
Gives so-so thick dramatic lashes. I would still prefer L'oreal Voluminous. This stuff clumps up my lashes quite a bit, and worst of all, does not hold a curl at all. I have naturally straight lashes and I have to use an eyelash curler before applying mascara. This formula is wet and thick and does nothing for me.
More reviews by choirgirlhotel
* Clumpy
* Does not flake, which was what I was looking for
* Makes lashes look a bit thicker, but maybe that's because of the clumps
* Did not make my lashes look to their longest extent unless I really worked carefully with the brush, which I do not have time for.
The only good thing about this mascara is that it does not flake (so far). I was using Volume Exact by CG and loved the brush and how it made my lashes long, but hated the flaking and the little flakes would get into my eyes and burn my eyes. I think thick, creamy mascara (which is what works best for my lashes) is just prone to drying out more quickly, which in turn means flaking.
I would not purchase this again, but it's ok to use until I get another one.
This reminds me of the Full n Soft Mascara. It gives me natural, full lashes without clumping. FnS smudged on me a LOT though and this one only smudges very slightly, at the very end of the day. So not too bad. I don't know which I like more, Professional, which does not smudge but clumps a little or this which does not clump but smudges a little. Both are quite good for the price.

Pretty happy with this mascara, I'm always on the search for a good lengthening, thickening mascara that won't transfer on my long lashes and oily eyelids. I loved Max Factor 2000 calorie for a long time but can't get it in Canada anymore. I could get an American friend to get it for me, but it's a bit of a hassle.
So I tried this one for an alternative. Its pretty good. Lengthens, thickens, keeps the lashes relatively separated, good stuff. Doesn't transfer on me at all, only a teensy bit at the end of a looooong day. Me likey.

Definitely thickens and defines, making my short sticks for lashes look full and plush. It also lengthens a bit. No clumping, flaking or smudging as of yet. Love the huggy, densely fibered brush. Hate that this formula unravels the curl I dent onto my lashes. So I'm left with these awesome sexy full feathery defined fans, that stick out in an almost perfect right angle from my lids. I'm on the lookout for its waterproof twin to see if that can hold the curl. Until then, I'm using Great Lash Waterproof as a base to hold the curl.

From LA's "Starlet Bandit," to Virginia's "Cell Phone Bandit," to Georgia's "Barbie Bandits," a collection of the boldest female robbers ever caught on camera.
In seems that Felipe Cruz, 39, was looking for a job on April 10, 2014. We don't know what happened to derail him, but he allegedly wound up trying to rob a bank in Pompano Beach, Florida, with a note containing his all personal information.
In the past we have brought you stories of people falling off cliffs, and walking into canals while talking on their cell phones, but today we present a young man who set out to rob a bank, announced his intention to the teller, but became so absorbed in a call that he was easily disarmed.
Apparently there are some days you just can't rob a bank. The robber in this surveillance video forgot his bag, and perhaps even his gun, dropped the loot all over the floor, and made it out of the bank in time to slip on the ice.It only got worse from there.
This bank robber might want to think about pursuing another line of work.
There must be all kinds of ways to plan, execute and get away with a bank robbery. Perhaps, not using your computer to perform incriminating Internet searches on the subject should be considered an important part of any successful bank robbing scheme.
Police in Florida are searching for a man who robbed a bank at gunpoint sporting a lacy pink sweater, fuzzy pink slippers, a big handbag in a large color-coordinated flower pattern — and a beard and mustache of all things.
The FBI is offering a $10,000 reward or as their press release states, "some quick Christmas cash or a windfall in the New Year to anyone who can help locate" fugitive Victor Dwayne Johnson, who is charged with one count of bank robbery and is wanted in Texas for questioning in other bank jobs."

With the help of leading guides and outfitters, we canvassed every scenic route in North America and Europe to find the most impressive moderate day hikes. Whether it's a two-mile stroll in coastal Maine or an eight-mile circuit beside the glaciers of Alberta, each accesses the same stunning landscapes that more-strenuous treks do, without the intimidation. To simplify your options, we picked the top regions on each continent, featuring one not-to-be-missed trail for each, plus two alternatives. Then we added 10 slightly less-trodden walks, all of them worth the detour, and gear that's guaranteed to keep you ahead of the pack.
France and Switzerland
Conquering peaks like Mont Blanc, at 15,771 feet the tallest in the Alps, and the Matterhorn may give serious hikers bragging rights, but the slopes and valleys beneath offer less ominous options, and the same views. Aiguilles Traverse, Mont Blanc (Chamonix, France, 4 miles) The rocky trail, which begins at 6,000 feet, is cut into the northeastern flank of Mont Blanc. It skirts the bottom of the Aiguille de l'M, a dramatic rock formation shaped like the letter M. THE WALK From the French resort town of Chamonix, take the Aiguille du Midi cable car halfway up to Plan de l'Aiguille (7,575 feet). Follow the path marked MONTENVERS to the Grand Balcon Nord.
After the trail's apex at the Aiguille de l'M, two miles from the start, it's downhill to Montenvers, where a cog railway carries hikers to Chamonix. (You can also walk back.) Along the way, Mont Blanc looms above, the Mer de Glace glacier sits just below, and paragliders soar in Chamonix Valley. WHERE TO STAY The main lodge at Le Hameau Albert 1er (119 Impasse du Montenvers; 33-4/50-53-05-09; www.hameaualbert.fr; doubles from $212) has 27 rooms that look out onto Mont Blanc. The property also rents 12 rooms in a pine-paneled farmhouse, each with a private balcony.
ALPINE EXTRAS Riffelalp Resort to Gorner Glacier (Zermatt, Switzerland, 4.5 miles) The natural 7,200-foot balcony above the Gorner Glacier, in the shadow of the Matterhorn, gives you an elevated view of the ice river with its deep blue pools and bottomless crevasses. THE WALK A cograil lift leaves from Zermatt to Riffelalp, where a path, which rises a thousand feet, heads to Riffelsee, a glacial lake, and the ridge trail. The moraine then levels off, letting walkers go as far as they like and return the way they came.
Gemmi Pass (Kandersteg, Switzerland, 6 miles) A village-to-village hike culminates in a high Alpine pass. THE WALK Take a cable-car ride from the fairy-tale village of Kandersteg to Sunnbüel (at 6,100 feet), and follow a wide path through the Uschinen Valley to the Gemmi Pass. Midway is the Hotel Schwarenbach (41-33/675-1272; www.schwarenbach.ch; doubles from $97); you can fuel up on raclette before the ultimate reward—an endless western view toward Daubenhorn peak. A gondola drops you into the town of Leukerbad to catch the train back to Kandersteg.
The hilly north country—the Lake District and the Yorkshire dales and moors—is pleasantly green, and its weather is mild. Yet wild walks begin just steps from its towns and villages. Old Coffin Route (Lake District National Park, 4.25 miles) The countryside around Grasmere is where William Wordsworth "wandered lonely as a cloud" and drew inspiration for his Romantic poetry. The Old Coffin Route is an easy ramble from Wordsworth's house in the village of Rydal to his beloved Dove Cottage. THE WALK Beginning at Rydal, it's 1.75 miles along the north shore of Rydal Water to Dove Cottage, now a small museum. To return, follow signs for Grasmere village, then to Great Langdale, and head south onto the path to Loughrigg Terrace. The trail passes Rydal Caves (an old slate quarry) and loops back to Rydal Mount, through Dora's Field, a flower-strewn pasture named for one of Wordsworth's daughters. You'll ascend just enough to overlook serene Rydal Water and the fells (high, barren moors) to the south—the kind of view that inspired Wordsworth to call the area the fairest place on earth. WHERE TO STAY Linthwaite House Hotel (Crook Rd., Windermere; 44-1539/488-600; www.linthwaite.com; doubles from $212), a 26-room manor, sits above Lake Windermere, England's largest lake.
NORTH COUNTRY EXTRAS Muker-Keld Loop (Yorkshire Dales National Park, 6 miles) The Yorkshire dales are James Herriot country, the backdrop to the writer-veterinarian's folksy tales of rural life. THE WALK The trail crosses, then traces, the river Swale after leaving the village of Muker, then climbs steeply to a ruined farmhouse on the edge of the valley before sloping into the village of Keld. Head back through a section of the Pennine Way, one of England's most famous long-distance footpaths (268 miles). Reward yourself with a pint at the Farmers Arms Hotel (Lowick Green, near Ulverston, Cumbria; 44-1229/861-277; doubles from $92), a 14th-century pub.
Hayburn Wyke Loop on the Cleveland Way National Trail (North York Moors National Park, 7.5 miles) This section of the 109-mile Cleveland Way skirts the cliffs of the North Yorkshire coast and slices through inland moors before making its way to the wooded inlet of Hayburn Wyke. THE WALK Follow the Cleveland Way south out of Ravenscar. The trail inclines precipitously toward Hayburn Wyke—a coastal inlet with a small beach, waterfall, and seaside woods. Nip into the Hayburn Wyke Inn (Newlands Rd., Cloughton, Scarborough; 44-1723/870-202; doubles from $84) for bangers and beer. Complete the loop by tracing the abandoned Scarborough-Whitby rail line back to Ravenscar.
Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire
Quaint villages are left behind when you get high up in New England's mountains. There, rugged hills and temperamental weather take center stage. Long Trail (Mount Mansfield, Stowe, Vermont, 4 miles) Vermont's highest mountain and its longest trail open up a world of green schist and gray granite, arctic tundra and delicate alpine plants, all in contrast to the mixed forest spread out below. THE WALK This route goes to the roof of New England without the grueling climb other paths require. Just drive the 4.5-mile Mount Mansfield Toll Road in Stowe to the Summit House, at 3,850 feet. From there, the ridge joins a rocky section of the Long Trail, a 265-mile walkway that runs the length of the Green Mountain State and takes you to the 4,393-foot summit of Mount Mansfield. Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks are visible to the west, Jay Peak and Quebec to the north, the White Mountains of New Hampshire to the east, and Killington to the south. Just as interesting are the microviews of arctic plants—remnants of the last Ice Age that still flourish in Mansfield's harsh environment. WHERE TO STAY Topnotch at Stowe Resort & Spa (4000 Mountain Rd., Stowe; 800/451-8686 or 802/253-8585; www.topnotch-resort.com; doubles from $235) is laid out over 120 acres and has direct views of Mount Mansfield. The 80 rooms and 12 suites are done in rustic pine; many have private balconies. The spa, one of the best in Vermont, lists more than 120 treatments on its menu.

Henry Cooke, owner of Historical Costume Services in Randolph, Mass., and a regular consultant for the History Channel, spoke to members of the Col. Benjamin Cleveland Chapter of the Tennessee Society of the Sons of the American Revolution about plans to create the first historically authentic painting of Col. Benjamin Cleveland.
The appearance by Cooke drew a record crowd, according to SAR officials.
Cooke said that while the heroics of Benjamin Cleveland are legendary, no historically accurate painting of the war hero exists. A recent painting of Cleveland that surfaced on the Internet was poorly researched and featured Cleveland as a general in the Continental Army, for which he did not serve, Cooke said.
While Cleveland served as a captain for three years in the 2nd North Carolina Regiment, he was never a general, Cooke noted. In 1778, he resigned his captaincy, and later led local militia in the Carolina backcountry as a militia colonel.
"Unfortunately, there are many images that have been produced of historical figures and events that were not properly researched, and present an incorrect or misleading view of the past," he stressed. "This is something we will work hard to avoid in the painting we are working on, for the honor of those we portray deserves nothing less."
Cleveland was an American pioneer and soldier in North Carolina who achieved legendary status for his service as a leader in the local Wilkes County militia during the Revolutionary War. Cleveland's team of militia was comprised of volunteers who were mostly farmers — or "Overmountain Men" who did not wear uniforms but instead put on their "Sunday best" to go to war.
"The Overmountain Men dressed up prior to battle to show the opposition their importance," Cooke explained.
Cleveland played a key role in the American victory that occurred on Oct. 7, 1780, at the Battle of Kings Mountain. It was during the Kings Mountain battle that Cleveland and four other colonels defeated Maj. Patrick Ferguson, who served under General Lord Cornwallis in the British army. The other colonels who led the Patriot militia were William Campbell, Joseph McDowell, John Sevier and Isaac Shelby.
The defeat was called the turning point of the American Revolution in the South, and was the first hope for the Patriots of defeating the English. Cooke said the victory inspired the local Patriot cause and discouraged Loyalists from joining the ranks of the invading British forces.
"Ferguson led an army into the mountains hoping to crush the rebels, but he was killed in the first 10 minutes of the battle," Cooke said. "Col. Cleveland had his horse shot out from under him during the last 10 minutes of the battle. At the battle, Cleveland took Ferguson's white stallion as his war prize and rode it back to his estate, called Roundabout. He also took an English drum and proudly displayed it at the entrance hall to his estate."
Cooke said that the white stallion was Cleveland's "prized possession" and included a very fancy English-made leather saddle and an exquisite saddle blanket made of finer materials than Cleveland would have had access to in North Carolina.
"Seeing the stallion would have been the equivalent of seeing your first Rolls Royce when the only car you had previously seen was a Chevrolet," Cooke explained.
Cooke is teaming with experts from across the nation to work on the Cleveland painting, to be titled "Benjamin Cleveland's War Prize."
Dr. Philip Mead, a professional historian from Harvard University who teaches Revolutionary War Theory, is conducting research through the National Archives and has been retained to consult with the group.
The Allan Jones Foundation is funding the project that will feature Cleveland leading his troops back home to Wilkes County on Ferguson's white stallion after the battle. Toby Pendergrass of the Jones Foundation said the research for the painting has uncovered some surprising results.
"While today we would think it was odd for someone to go a month without taking a bath but still shave every three days, shaving was very important to them in the same way that wearing their 'Sunday Best' was," Pendergrass said. "The research indicates that the soldiers would have shaved before battle. Beards did not become popular until the Civil War some 80 years later."
Cooke is hand-stitching the clothes and hat that will be featured in the painting, while Tim Wilson, a shoe and boot maker for Colonial Williamsburg, is making a pair of boots identical to the ones Cleveland would have worn, right down to ordering specially made leather from England that is identical to that used in gentleman's riding boots in the late 18th century.
Williamsburg's arms expert, Erik Goldstein, is working with Wilson to recreate a scabbard for an original Revolutionary War militia officer's sword located by Dr. Mead that will be used in the painting, as well as an officer's sword belt based on an original belt in the Williamsburg collection.
Cooke said a period sword was recently located by Dr. Mead from Harvard to go along with Cleveland's uniform. The sword was on display during the meeting.
Cooke also brought period clothing to the meeting, including shoes, a hat, a pair of Revolutionary era breeches worn by a Massachusetts man, and an elegantly embroidered waistcoat (or vest) worn by a North Carolina militia officer during the Revolution, that is being reproduced for the painting.
"The waistcoat in the painting will feature hand-embroidered silk that is identical to an authentic North Carolina waistcoat from 1770 that we are replicating," Cooke said. "Every detail, down to the buttons, will be embroidered by hand."
Don Troiani, who is regarded as the most respected Revolutionary War artist in the world, has been commissioned to paint the Cleveland piece. Troiani is based in Southbury, Conn., and is revered for only agreeing to do works that are historically accurate.
"Don is the foremost authority on the Revolutionary War and he has one of the largest private collections of artifacts in the country, many of which appear in books on the arms and equipment of the Revolutionary era, the largest collection in the world of any private individual," Cooke said.
Troiani's artwork has appeared on "The O'Reilly Factor," as well as in "The Washington Post," "The New York Times" and "National Geographic." Troiani also has one of the largest displays at the Booth Western Art Museum in Cartersville, Ga. He is also recognized for his artwork on the American Civil War.
"When the government created the Museum at Kings Mountain to honor the battle, Troiani's artwork and pictures of soldiers were a significant part of the exhibit used as a basis for the re-enactment displays," Cooke said.
Pendergrass said the experts working on the painting — not the Foundation — will decide how the final painting looks.
"The experts have total control, down to the smallest detail and Troiani has the final say," Pendergrass explained.
Cooke said that through the research that has been conducted for the painting to date, the team working on the painting has yet to find a firsthand account from the Revolutionary era that describes the appearance of Benjamin Cleveland in the war years.
It is known that Cleveland was 6 feet tall and weighed 300 pounds, Cooke said. His nickname was "Old Roundabout," yet he was reportedly very athletic.
"The team that is working to create the painting of Benjamin Cleveland is determined to get it right," Cooke explained. "We are going to bring history to life and do justice to a man who was one of history's greatest patriots."
Cooke pointed out Cleveland was a larger-than-life character.
"He was a man of action and certainly someone who knew how to get things done," Cooke said. "He was the richest man in the county and it has been written that he controlled the county, even though he lived 15 miles out of town. Whether he was noteworthy or notorious depends on if you were on his good or bad side."
Cooke said Cleveland served as a judge in Wilkes County and was known for hanging large numbers of Tories, or those who were loyal to the king. He hung so many Tories from an oak tree near the Wilkes County Courthouse that the tree became known as the Tory Oak, while Cleveland was called "The Terror of the Tories."
"He was regarded as a mean son of a gun … and was very tough," Cooke said. "Some said he was obsessed with hanging Tories and that he likely hung more of them than anyone else during the savage civil war between patriots and loyalists in this part of the South during the Revolution."
Benjamin Cleveland was born on May 28, 1738, and died in October 1806, at the age of 68, reportedly while eating breakfast, Cooke said. The exact date of his death is unknown.
Troiani's Cleveland painting funded by the Allan Jones Foundation is one of two separate projects under way involving the war hero. The local SAR chapter is also commissioning a statue of Cleveland for which they are currently seeking donations. The statue will be located in First Street Park.
The Col. Benjamin Cleveland painting is scheduled to be finished in December.

9/11 Conspiracy
Don't worry. I'm not promoting a 9/11 conspiracy. I'm just helping people see how it's being shunned, even by those whom the purveyors of such nonsense would, I'm sure, love to see promote it.
As you may or may not know, talk show host Bill Maher is far left in his political leanings. I mean, the guy has gone as far as to call Christians mentally unstable, simply for their faith. He's also a constant Bush-basher. THAT'S leaning to the left, folks.
Regardless of the above, however, listen to his commentary on individuals who subscribe to the belief that the U.S. Government had a hand in bringing down the World Trade Center buildings. It's priceless. And, a little reassuring of his sanity. There are also clips of him kicking 9/11 "Truthers" off of his show, but seek it at your own risk as there is some rough language.

My moms first ever trip to WDW
Who says that a woman in her 70's can have fun in WDW. We have recently completed trip with my mother and it was her first time to WDW. I must say that she had a wonderful time. She did a lot that I did not expect her to do. Because there is so much to this trip (between the planning and actual trip) I am going to try to break everything down. Rather that shoot all the details at once I am going to keep adding to this post. Please bear with me because this is my first trip report. Hopefully it will bring you good reading material. First I will start with the cast;
Me: I am 34 and I am married. No kids as of yet. I work as a server for now, but I am also a travel agent in my spare time hoping to make this a full time job. I did not start going on Disney trips until I met my wife. I first went in 97 with her family. The next time I went was in 2007 with her when we got back together after dating off and on for 13 years. i have an older brother and sister who are both married and have children. On our honeymoon at WDW we became DVC members. Wife: She is 33. When she was growing up her family always took a summer trip to WDW. She is a very organized person and likes to plan everything and not go by the seat of her pants. Mom: She is in her 70s and she is a widow. She has a routine that she does everyday and every week. She is active in a weight loss group (She met her goal over 3 years ago and she is just trying to keep the extra weight off). She watches what she eats and is always worried that she is going to put on the extra weight. She does not go out at night and is normally in bed by 9 and up by 7. She will usually have a couple drinks to help her sleep. I will add a side note that my sister and her family were at WDW back in April for Spring break. We had a big hand in helping plan her trip. If it wasn't for us she would have starved or had nothing but Quick Service meals. This info will be helpful in a future post. |

The initial planning and the reveal.
Initial planning
Back in 2008 my mom took a trip to WDW with her close friends, but it was not exactly to WDW. They stayed at the Liki Tiki Village near WDW. It was part of their time share. Not sure the full details but this was the first time they stayed there. Anyways the trip turned out extremely bad for my mom. There was a lack of planning and since they did not offer Senior Citizen discounts they pretty much booed MM. They pretty much stayed at the hotel most of the time. This was when it first started for me that I would like to someday take my mom to WDW. Fast forward to 2011, there was a conversation between my wife and I and I told her that I would like to take my mom with us on one of our trips. She did not like the idea because she knew of my moms daily routine and this would not fit her routine. It would be a disaster trip for us. I finally decided one day to ask mom if one day she would like to go to WDW with us on one of her trips and her immediate answer was yes. She then asked when we would go etc. I had to stop her there because I told her that we were just tossing around the idea. In Jan 2012 we decided that we would take mom in Dec. Because her birthday is in March we would let her know at that time that we were taking her to WDW in Dec. The reveal AKA Birthday gift. We decided that we would put together a basket full of stuff for mom for her birthday. We included Mickey Ears for mom a few brochures, a WDW fanny pack, and a picture book so she could put all the pictures in there. We also decided to create her a brochure type Birthday card. We had so much fun with this because we made it very personal for her telling her when she would be going, where she would stay, what she would be doing etc.We ate at one of her favorite restaurants and gave her gift there. We had her close her eyes and we put the basket in front of her. When she open her eyes she was a little confused at first. Once she read the card/ brochure she got excited. The server even made her birthday desert and it said "Have fun at WDW". Mom never played favorites but I think after this I may have become the favorite son and my wife is the favorite in law. Coming up the trip planning and preparation. |

I have a large number of jalapenos and habaneros that I picked in anticipation of a freeze but do not have time to pickle, jam or can right now. I thought I would deseed and core them before freezing. Has anyone done this and how usuable are they once you thaw them?
Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
truwest, I have done this often and it works very well. For small peppers like jals and habs it's easy to cut in half, seed and core, then freeze. When you thaw them, they'll have become soft, but they keep their flavour very well and will work just fine in anything where they'll be cooked anyway. One other thing you might find useful is to spread them on a cookie tray and freeze for a few hours, then when they are firm pack them into a Ziploc freezer bag; by getting them frozen somewhat first, you make it easier to take out however many you want later; otherwise they are more likely to clump and stick together in the freezer. Or else you can freeze them in packages of the size you want to use. (I have a package in the freezer right now that contains chopped sweet and hot peppers in exactly the amount I know I'll need to make a double batch of Annie's salsa, because I've got the tomatoes to make a double batch in there as well.) Congrats on your harvest! Z |
I freeze many peppers each year. Not only raw ones, but I also like to roast many of them on a dry cookie sheet in the oven and then freeze them that way. Wonderful flavor and great for all kinds of uses -- pasta sauces, pasta salads, pizza topping, panini, antipasto platters, whatever. |
Thanks for the suggestions. There is nothing more dissapointing than to go to the trouble of putting something up, only to find that it is tasteless or yucky when you go to use it. Now that I got the green light, I will start coring and seeding tomorrow and pat myself on the back for not letting something go to waste! |
truwest, Agreed! That has happened to me! You'll not only pat yourself on the back when you freeze them tomorrow, but your future self will really thank your current self when setting out to make something with these and finding them all prepped! Z |
- Posted by greenmulberry 5-Iowa City (My Page) on Thu, Nov 11, 10 at 19:24
I always just rinse hot peppers, dry, and toss whole into freezer bags. I don't seed them, not that I have anything against it except I am usually trying to get them in the freezer and off the counter as soon as possible, and I am lazy. If I want to seed them when I use them I just seed them frozen. Or I might want to use them with the seeds, as in jalapeno slices on a pizza or something. |
DH and I chop them up and put them in gallon bags, then push them flat so they are about 3/8" thick sheets. For the hot ones, DH uses smaller bags as we don't go through them like bell peppers. Then when we need them, we open the bag and break off a chunk. It can be tossed in soup/stew/meat that is cooking, or run under warm water to thaw (does not take long) and tossed on pizza or rolled with what ever else we want in a tortilla shell. We do the same with onions, and don't notice any difference in taste. |
Agreed, peppers are one of the best veggies to freeze. I generally go with whole for my hots, and cut in half and cribbed together for my bells and bananas. Grocery store peppers get kinda pricey in the winter, and my buddies wouldnt know what to do if i didn't make sausage and peppers at least a few times during football season. I also take a few of my best, red-ripe bells and make stuffed peppers. Wrap them individually in foil, freeze, thaw when needed. |

C/D Overview:
The droptop version of the fabled Z is a delightful and comfortable sports car. The structure is solid, and the convertible maintains all of the performance and handling of the coupe. The big V-6 can sound a bit gritty from inside the car, but the exhaust note with the top down is pure bliss.
Base Price: $41,280 - $45,280
Fetching looks, strong acceleration, grippy chassis, quiver-free structure, sweet-sounding exhaust, crisp seven-speed automatic.
Engine sounds rough with the top up, looks strange with the top up.
What's New
Redesigned for 2010; unchanged for 2012.
Behind The Wheel
Power and torque aplenty, the Z droptop has communicative steering and sports-car grip. Restricted sightlines and a heavy, solid feel make it seem like a really big tank. This Z never feels light on its feet.

I know this sounds silly, but I wonder what others who have a foyer vestibule do about hardware? Do you put a locking mechanism on the vestibule door? I have to use a multipoint lock on the front door and hate how they look. I thought if I put a rim lock on the vestibule door I could look at that pretty hardware all the time, but wonder if it's really pointless. thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm not putting any locks on my vestibule doors. They're inside the building, so who are they going to keep out? Vestibules are usually implemented as a heat/air lock. What are you using yours for? |
- Posted by millworkman (email@example.com) on Sun, Sep 23, 12 at 7:59
Personally I would use dummy knobs and ball catches or a passage set on the active door and surface or flush bolts on the inactive door. |
- Posted by lavender_lass (My Page) on Mon, Sep 24, 12 at 11:39
I would absolutely have a lock on the vestibule door. This is the door to the outside...correct? Without a lock, someone could wait in the vestibule...either for you to come home or open your interior door. Or, they could have plenty of time to be hidden and work on opening your interior door lock. I probably sound paranoid, but after an idiot was banging on our front door at midnight (after hitting our house with his truck last November) I was very glad for the lock on our storm door. Not exactly the same, but we certainly wouldn't have opened the main door without it. |
Make your guests wait in the weather. Nice welcome. |
- Posted by millworkman (email@example.com) on Mon, Sep 24, 12 at 14:27
Vestibule doors would be inside the exterior or entry doors and in the vestibule to the interior of the home. |
- Posted by threeapples (My Page) on Mon, Sep 24, 12 at 14:46
Our front door will have a lock. Upon entering the house from the front door you will be in the vestibule, which has a door into the foyer. I'm Asking if the door to the foyer should have a lock. Thanks. |
- Posted by lavender_lass (My Page) on Tue, Sep 25, 12 at 1:03
Well that makes more sense :) I would say that you don't need a lock from the vestibule into the foyer. Many people use glass in that door...or maybe side lights on either side. It's more of a heat/cold block than a safety feature. At least, that's how I plan to use it. |
- Posted by Artichokey (My Page) on Tue, Sep 25, 12 at 5:50
I can imagine two reasons for wanting some kind of lock on a vestibule door: extra layer of obstacle to keep young kids from escaping outside or to keep them from playing in the coat closet; or to be able to give neighbors a front door key so they could pick up mail/packages while one was out of town and put them in the vestibule, but not have access to the entire house. Actually, it just occurred to me: my grandparents had a lock in their vestibule door. It was unlocked all day, but we always locked it before heading to bed as an extra obstacle if someone tried to break in; there was a sliding glass door in the back of the vestibule that would have been easy to break and the bedrooms were on the opposite side of the house, so breaking glass might not have been heard. We never locked it when we left the house, just at night. Not sure if there's even a key for it! |

I wouldn't bother unless your in a "bad" area or a heavily trafficed one. I can imagine locking myself inbetween the 2 sets of doors and having to navigate the yard in my barefeet and PJ's:) |

text: Well, it seems to be a big hit in DL so I imagine it would go over pretty well here too. I saw the rumors swirling but I never read the articles. I hope the plan is to add it to DHS as an expanded area of Pixar Place. I think it would give DHS a much needed boost into the whole day park category. Time will tell though.
