Yes, the Republican National Committee has shocking news. Teddy Kennedy is a—yikes!—liberal. The vaunted opposition research department of the RNC somehow unearthed this information, and on Monday morning, hours before Kennedy was to appear at a rally to endorse Barack Obama, the Republican Party sent out an email to reporters reminding them of this sinister nexus: Kennedy = liberalism. Its point: Kennedy's endorsement "highlights" Obama's "true liberal credentials."
It's hardly a given that Obama will win the Democratic nomination, but it's clear that if he does, the RNC is ready with its traditional playbook: brand the Dem a liberal. No doubt, the same stratagem is set for Hillary Clinton. This traditional attack has often paid off for the Republicans. (Ask Michael Dukakis and the first George Bush.) But it could wear thin this time around. Obama, though obviously a progressive, has shown an ability to attract independents and even a few Republicans. Remember, voters are not nearly as ideological as the partisan activists of both sides. And in the case of HRC, after eight years of triangulating White House Clintonism and eight years of intermittent centrism in the Senate, the old Hillary-is-a-radical-socialist routine doesn't resonate much these days, except among die-hard, living-in-the-past, Hillary-hating conservatives.
Nevertheless, the Republican Party will bang the he's-a-liberal! (or she's-a-liberal!) drum. Though it remains the GOP's favorite beat, voters may not dance to it as they once did.

The true legacy of this election cycle's South Carolina slimefest remains to be seen.
In 2000, John McCain faced a do-or-die contest in South Carolina and got slashed by allegations that he had fathered an illegitimate black child and abandoned his fellow POWs in Vietnam. McCain lost in South Carolina by 11 points and his campaign never recovered.
This time around, the mudslinging occurred on the Democratic side. Clinton attacked Obama for supporting the policies of Ronald Reagan, a false claim, and many Clinton surrogates found ways to mention Obama's religion or past drug use. And Bill Clinton called Obama's record on Iraq a fairy tale, compared him to Jesse Jackson, and repeatedly brought up race, all while chastising the press for trivializing the campaign. Obama was baited into responding with his own nasty ads.
The result, even the Clinton campaign admits, is that the candidate who was once transcendent and post-racial is now very clearly "the black candidate." That may serve Obama well in a Southern state like South Carolina, where half the Democratic electorate is African-American, but it will take off some of his sheen in the eyes of white voters across the country. And that's why South Carolina's role in this campaign will not end until the February 5 primaries (and possibly even later ones) are decided. If Obama loses even a small share of the white vote in those states, he will struggle mightily to beat Clinton.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is an interesting race." So said former President Bill at a campaign rally in Independence, Missouri, on Saturday night, while Barack Obama was cleaning his wife's clock in South Carolina. Well, Bill Clinton has done his best to make the contest more interesting—and more down-and-dirty. Campaigning in South Carolina, he drew Barack Obama into a mudwrestle and sucked up plenty of oxygen. Though Clinton failed to stop a much-anticipated Obama win in the Palmetto State—and might have even pushed voters toward Obama—he certainly helped shaped the race to his wife's benefit. Obama has been campaigning as an unconventional and inspirational leader against a conventional and divisive politician. Yet the ex-president managed to turn the contest into a face-off between two acrimonious camps, which undermines Obama's preferred narrative: a transformational candidate versus a Washington rerun. And today—before the vote-counting began—Clinton compared Obama to Jesse Jackson. It was tough not to read Clinton's remark as an attempt to dismiss Obama as the black candidate who cannot win.
Clinton's hit-man role has peeved some Democrats. Two days ago, Robert Reich, who was Clinton's labor secretary, blogged that "Bill Clinton's ill-tempered and ill-founded attacks on Barack Obama are doing no credit to the former President, his legacy, or his wife's campaign." But should the Clintons care if they lose Reich but gain the nomination?
Short answer: no. But there will be recriminations. Clinton's South Carolina rampage will not be forgotten by Democrats and liberals. And it remains to be seen if B. Clinton will continue his anti-Obama crusade in the coming days, as Supersaturated Tuesday approaches. The day before South Carolina Democrats voted for Obama over Clinton by a two-to-one margin, I asked a senior Clinton campaign aide if the campaign had any reservations about Bill Clinton's actions in South Carolina. This aide looked pained. "He cannot be controlled," s/he said. I remarked that it looked as if Clinton had been deployed in a strategic manner. "Not for some of us," the aide said. But the campaign could have decided not to send him to South Carolina, I noted. "Yeah, Mr. President, we have some important campaign rallies for you to attend in Alaska," the aide replied—sarcastically.
Um, polls have been closed for 1 min and 50 seconds and MSNBC has already called South Carolina for Obama. According to the network itself, 0 percent of precincts have reported. More analysis to come.
By the way, earlier today Bill Clinton was asked in South Carolina what it means that it takes two Clintons to compete with one Obama. He said (and I'm paraphrasing), "Well, listen. Jesse Jackson won this state, too." Yikes. That answer has nothing to do with the question, but it does do three things. One, it lowers expectations. Two, it attributes Obama's victory exclusively to his race. It basically means, "Hey, a black candidate is always going to win this state." And three, it compares Barack Obama to a guy who is considered exclusively an advocate for black America, and whom many white Americans have an uncomfortable relationship with.
And, of course, it injects race into the conversation. Considering the fact that Bill Clinton has been running around South Carolina chastising reporters for focusing on race, it's a pretty cynical thing to say. Very strategic, and not very pretty.
Update: I'm still irritated by this B. Clinton statement. It's really dismissive of black voters: it suggests that they will always vote for a black candidate, instead of evaluating candidates on their merits. And it ignores the fact that just a few weeks ago, H. Clinton was crushing Obama in heavily black South Carolina.
Update Update: Video of B. Clinton's statement after the jump.
The AP has some exit polling out. Let's take a look at what it says about the South Carolina electorate.
Half of voters cited the economy as the most important issue. Twenty-five percent said health care and 20 percent said Iraq. Those were the only choices, however, which skews the numbers pretty badly. When Mother Jones runs its own exit polls, we'll do it better.
One out of four exit poll respondents said America is not ready for a black president. The same number said America is not ready for a woman president. So... South Carolina isn't completely on board the diversity train yet.
People were really not happy with the candidates. According to exit polls from MSNBC, 70 percent of all voters thought Hillary Clinton unfairly attacked Barack Obama. Fifty-six percent thought Barack Obama unfairly attacked Hillary Clinton. And voters of all stripes were unhappy with the Clintons: 75 percent of black voters thought they played dirty, 68 percent of white voters said the same.
Many pundits are assuming Barack Obama will win this handily—the only question is by how much. Have we learned nothing from New Hampshire? No assumptions. Anyone could win this primary tonight. Besides, will it kill us to wait another few hours to find out for sure?
Here's a more worthwhile question: how much of the white vote can Barack Obama win? He won very, very substantial portions of the white vote in Iowa and New Hampshire. Some polls in SC show him winning just 10 percent. If that's actually the case, Clinton's strategy of, well, reminding everyone that Obama is black (over and over) has worked.

In a chilly apartment office in the booming, white-villaed Jordanian capital yesterday, an associate of my contact, a slim aristocratic Jordanian, dressed in a navy sports jacket, discusses in fast English various subjects of interest, his cigarette extended into the air. Downed cups of tea before us, I was writing as fast as I could on a huge notebook whose pages detached as I turned them. And then in the course of discussing why he blocked a certain transaction, he came to: " ... But I would never do anything to harm my idol, the greatest leader, Saddam Hussein." More professions of love for Saddam followed as I kind of started. But the conversation remained benevolent, and I later found this view that Saddam knew how to manage Iraq better than the current American-propped-up, Shiite-run setup to be pretty widespread and ordinary among the admittedly few Jordanians I got to meet, who were universally incredibly hospitable, and whose borders, under the omnipresent official portraits of a benevolently smiling King Abdullah and his late father King Hussein, are open to pretty much everyone, including some one million of Iraq's wealthier emigrees, Syrians, Saudis, Gulf investors, Lebanese, Turkish, Americans, Israelis, etc., albeit with an extensive and watchful security superstructure. Massive real estate contruction booms around the city, with towers, new hotels, villas and industrial offices going up. A half hour drive out of the capital, peasants from out of a Biblical scene herd sheep and goats on roadside hills, and petit blue and green decoratively painted Isuzu pick-up trucks deliver wooden crates of fresh tangerines, eggplants, and tomatoes to markets. Another Jordanian I met, Samir, discussing the importance of education and his university degree in good English, got to the subject of the Shiites -- "who do not practice the right Islam" -- as well, and how Saddam "was like a king" who knew how to govern the Iraqis, "who are difficult, they are not easy like the Jordanian people."
Bob Novak has a report out that says unnamed "Illinois Democrats" are "quietly passing the word that John Edwards will be named attorney general in an Obama administration." Novak is a hyperpartisan bullshit artist who will make stuff up in order drive a wedge between Democrats, so it's hard to take this all that seriously.
But it does raise an interesting thought experiment. John Edwards is a passionate fighter for the poor, for labor, and for universal health care—he would be a wonderful addition to any Democratic administration. He would be a great attorney general, particularly because he could fight for workers on labor law issues and he could fight for the traditionally disenfranchised on election law. He could really reinvigorate the role of the Secretary of Labor. He could head a regulatory agency like the FDA, where his distaste for corporate power could combine with his passion for fair and affordable health care. And he would make an exciting VP choice for Obama, as I've said for quite some time.
That's a long-winded way of saying, even if he doesn't get the nomination, more Edwards! Of course, the Edwards folks probably don't want to hear that. They want to hear "Edwards for prez!" And that's why the Obama people are floating this rumor, assuming it's true: it gets the progressive media to laud Edwards' potential as an attorney general while further marginalizing his chances for the presidency.

Why did Saddam Hussein decide to invade Kuwait in 1990? George Piro, the FBI agent who interrogated Saddam for seven months, explains in a new interview:
In the course of several face-to-face discussions, Piro said Hussein also told him that the incident that finally led him to decide to invade Kuwait in 1990 was a personal insult by the emir there."What really triggered it for him, according to Saddam, was he had sent his foreign minister to Kuwait to meet with the emir al-Sabah . . . to try to resolve some of these issues. And the emir told the foreign minister of Iraq that he would not stop doing what he was doing until he turned every Iraqi woman into a $10 prostitute. And that really sealed it for him, to invade Kuwait," Piro said in the interview.
Wow, what a preposterous justification for invading a much smaller country! I wonder where Saddam got the idea such nonsense was acceptable?
Here's George H.W. Bush speaking on December 20, 1989, seven months before the invasion of Kuwait, explaining why he'd just invaded Panama:

Americans do not reduce. We may reuse, and we may recycle, but our economic system is predicated on steady consumption. So it makes sense that while trying to invent our way out of the consequences of global warming, we would seize upon those ideas that encouraged us to, well, consume. In other words, business as usual.
Today's quick fix is brought to us by Coskata. This Illinois-based energy startup, thanks to a hefty investment from GM, has already announced its triumph in the race for a new global energy source. The winning product? Bargain ethanol. Coskata's innovative technology, which lets anaerobic "patented microorganisms" eat syngas (a carbon monoxide and hydrogen compound formed by processing biomass such as corn husks), allows the company to produce waste-free ethanol from almost anything you give them: tires, factory waste, switchgrass, you name it.
What's more, says the company, because its process can convert so many different types of material into essentially pure ethanol, the fuel could be locally produced anywhere in the world. Each gallon will generate nearly eight times as much energy as it takes to make it, and the product reduces carbon emissions by 84%. The production cost of this miracle fuel? $1 per gallon.

Since last Spring, the White House has repeatedly told the press and Congress about a potential problem involving millions of missing emails. But last Thursday the story changed: An administration spokesman told reporters "we have no way of showing that any emails at all are missing."
(You can find all of our past coverage of this issue in our missing White House emails index.)
Rep. Henry Waxman, the Oversight Committee chairman, was understandably concerned by the sudden change in the administration's story. They had originally told him that there were 473 days for which no email was archived; now they were saying they weren't sure if any were missing at all. So Waxman and the Oversight Committee scheduled a hearing on February 15 to clear up all the confusion. He quickly fired off letters to White House counsel Fred Fielding (PDF) and Allen Weinstein, the National Archivist (PDF), requesting their testimony. Also invited to testify is Alan Swendiman, the Director of the Office of Administration.

A general conclusion from the foregoing analyses is that the two-point method for calculating CO2 production is the most robust in the presence of systematic changes in CO2 and water production, provided that NO and ND are correctly measured, and that the non-linear regression method is most sensitive to systematic changes. Both multi-point methods perform better when there is a high degree of covariance in the 2H and 18O data. Evidence from most data sets (see Chapter 5) and physiological commonsense indicates that a degree of covariance will normally exist. However, in all cases where large systematic changes occur, initial isotope distribution spaces will be incorrectly estimated from the zero-time intercepts of fitted curves. Thus bias can occur with this procedure. On the other hand, at all levels of analytical error, combining slopes and intercepts substantially improves precision.

The non-linear regression method further improves precision in the face of analytical error but this improvement is small and does not compensate for the potential inaccuracies in the presence of the particular systematic changes in the isotope turnover rates specified in this simulation. However, as stated in Chapters 4 and 5 the fitting procedure should be chosen after inspecting the residual plot. Using this approach only some of the simulations would be identified as appropriate material for this type of fit: e.g. the variable rCO2 (middle) and variable rH2O (end) simulations in which the non-linear regression method performed marginally better than linear regression (see Tables 9.1 and 9.2).
The apparent advantages of the two-point method portrayed by the above analyses may however be somewhat misleading. As has been mentioned, it was assumed that one space or the other (NO or ND) was correctly measured from plateau determinations and the relationship between them was such that ND/NO = 1.03. There are therefore two questions that must be asked. Firstly, what level of precision and accuracy can be achieved by making measurements at plateaus of enrichment: near to the start of an experiment? Secondly, are we justified in fixing a relationship at ND/NO = 1.03 for all conceivable subjects. As already indicated (Section 4.3.1) our knowledge in this area is relatively scanty. For American adults a combination of analytical accuracy and noise about plateau values gives a precision of about 1.5% for volume determinations using saliva samples at 3-6 hr after a dose (recalculated from ref 10) but we do not know if this time interval is appropriate in all physiological circumstances. This error need not worry us too much however since if ND/NO really does equal 1.03 estimates of CO2 production will only be incorrect by the % inaccuracy in the plateau determination of body-water.

What is of greater concern is the
appropriateness of ND/No = 1.03. The evidence is that this is a reasonable
average figure (see Section 4.3 and Table 9.6) but we really do not know its physiological
range for all conceivable subjects. Table 9.5 indicates the problem for a case where kD
and kO are 0.1050 and 0.1300 respectively. It can be seen that even small
physiological variations away from ND/NO = 1.03 could cause a
substantial inaccuracy in estimates of CO2 production.
We have shown in Chapter 4 and earlier in this chapter that the two procedures are quite different from the point of view of what is intended to be measured. The two-point method will produce the correct value for total flux between two time points even in circumstances where systematic variations occur to such an extent that the calculation of an average flux rate per day could almost be said to be inappropriate. In contrast a multi-point method only produces a correct result when variations in rate constants are random. The multi-point method does, however, provide an estimate of the variation about the daily average production rate which combines effects of instrumental and physiological variation (see Chapter 5).
There is little data that allows comparisons to be made between two-point and multi-point methodologies. In the comparison provided by Coward 11 there was no significant bias between the two methods (see Table 9.6). The SDs of the differences between the two procedures are slightly higher than would be predicted from the theoretical uncertainties of about 3% for the slope/intercept approach and about 4.5% for the two-point method. In this comparison the small average difference between the two procedures almost certainly originated from the fact that the volume ratio ND/NO averaged 1.037 in the slope/intercept method but was normalised to 1.03 in the two-point method.
In contrast Schoeller & Taylor 12 compared two-point methods in which either a plateau method was applied to measure ND and NO and the values normalised to ND/NO = 1.03, or individual ND and NO were calculated from the intercepts of disappearance curves generated between two points. In these circumstances the differences between the results obtained using each method can only be attributed to different estimates of ND and NO because slopes used were the same. For a period 0-7 days the intercept method produced an average value that was 15% lower than that obtained using the plateau procedure (see Table 9.7) and if values of kD and kO are taken to be 0.105 and 0.130 respectively this difference is equivalent to an average ND/NO ratio of about 1.06. In the worst case (Subject D) where the difference was 26%, the same assumptions produce an ND/NO ratio of 1.08. These differences from the value of 1.03 on which spaces were normalised are clearly important and contrast markedly with the data from Table 9.6 where mean ND/NO ratios were 1.037 ± 0.012 SD and with the more extensive data in Table 4.2. It is impossible to say for certain whether marked deviations from the value of 1.03 are genuine physiological differences, in which case the use of 1.03 as a normalising factor is unlikely to be inappropriate, or whether such large ratios have a non-physiological origin, in which case normalisation is an adequate procedure.

It will now be evident that the main difficulty with the methodologies we have been discussing lies not with the measurement of slopes of isotope disappearance curves but with the estimates of volume.
The use of multi-point data with fitting procedures appropriate to the error structure will provide a good estimate of the average difference between rate constants when there is a high degree of covariance between 2H and 18O data and even in cases where only CO2 production is increased and there is no such covariance the errors are fairly small even where 30% changes in CO2 production occur that persist for one third of a total measurement period. If such a change happened at regular intervals, such as every third day as might occur with a recreational runner, errors are less than 1% and can be ignored. There is also the additional factor to consider that, in the case of any level of analytical error, multi-point methods will reduce errors to about half of those obtained with a two-point method assuming that great care is taken to minimise analytical error in the measurement of baseline abundance. Furthermore if no systematic physiological deviations from linearity occur negative covariance will further improve precision. However, in the presence of large systematic variations in either CO2 production or water output, bias will occur in estimates of CO2 production if isotope distribution spaces are measured from the zero-time intercepts of isotope disappearance curves. This error will not always be observed in an estimate of a regression coefficient as these are almost invariably better than 0.99 but will be observable in plots of residuals near time zero (see Figure 9.2). This illustrates the importance of drawing and inspecting a residual plot for all multi-point studies. When systematic deviations are detected, then it will be theoretically preferable to obtain intercept data from the analysis of a subset of data near to zero-time.
In many ways the conclusions that should be drawn from the inadequacies of the two-point methodology are very similar to those outlined for the multi-point method. Provided there is the assurance of analytical accuracy in the determination of a slope the problem is likely to lie with the measurement of volume. The adequacy of this value will only be improved by making several measurements at different times on a plateau near to zero-time; in other words on a similar subset of data to that suggested for the multi-point method when systematic variation occurs.
There remains the problem of the relationship between NO and ND. The balance of current evidence suggests a value for ND/NO of about 1.035 and if this relationship cannot be established during an experiment it is not unreasonable to use this average value, on the understanding that if the true value for any subject is 1% different from this, the error produced in the measurement of CO2 production will be about 5%. On the other hand if it is possible to measure both ND and NO with an accuracy of 0.5 - 1.5% in experiments it is theoretically preferable to use these values. However, experience from the literature and from the data exchange exercise prior to this meeting suggests that values of 1.03 (plus or minus some small SD) are not always found. Until consistent findings for particular populations indicate otherwise it is commonsense to treat ND/NO ratios differing markedly from these values with some suspicion. The IDECG Workshop recommended that 1.015 - 1.060 should be adopted as the acceptable range.
At this meeting Speakman suggested
that a general rule might be applied when chosing methods for calculating energy
expenditure measurements and his view fairly encapsulates all the arguments propounded in
this chapter. That is, that with low isotopic enrichments and relatively small temporal
variation in water turnover or carbon dioxide production it will be preferable to use a
multi-point slope-intercept method. This is because relatively low enrichments put a
premium on the analyses and, in the absence of much temporal variation, fitting single
exponentials to data is a satisfactory procedure. When temporal variation is large, as it
may often be in wild animals, a two-point method will certainly be preferable from both
the theoretical and practical point of view 13. The theoretical reasons are
evident, the practical reason is that wild animals are difficult to catch more than a few
times in any measurement period. There is the further advantage that relatively high
enrichments are often used in experiments such as these and this is an advantage when
analytical precision is considered, especially in the two-point method.

I love this photograph of Pope Francis exchanging Christmas greetings with Benedict XVI. Let's hope that this happy scene is played out for many years to come. Ad multos annos, Holy Father! And to you, too, Pope Francis.
Pope Benedict XVI was well known for introducing, in the context of the celebration of the modern Roman Rite, a more traditional arrangement of the candles and crucifix upon the altar—namely, the "big six" with the cross in the middle (or, at times, seven candles—a privilege of bishops).

Although in recent years much has been done to spread an accurate knowledge of the teaching of the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, we are still a long way from Pope Benedict XVI's desire that the faithful everywhere, led by their pastors, would rediscover the riches of the sixteen conciliar documents. Show More Summary
Pope Francis isn't the first Bishop of Rome to criticize the free market. While Benedict XVI didn't exactly win awards for Vatican City's most charismatic bachelor, he was still a strong supporter of universal education and financial reform. John Paul II, a man raised beneath the oppression of the Iron Curtain, penned an entire encyclical...

This morning at the Tampa City Council, a proposal made by Mayor Pam Iorio earlier this year to create a so-called "Village of the Arts" in Ybor City was discussed.

View ArticlePayment Options
Payment for Services
When it comes to managing our pet's healthcare
needs, it is not uncommon for all of us pet lovers to discover that our hearts
are bigger than our budgets. What we may need to do, and you may want to do,
doesn't always match up with what you can afford to do.
Having served the Philadelphia community for over 50
years, we understand how much our clients love and care for their pets and
because of that, take pride in having been an integral part of the local
business community. By placing a high value on client education and
communication we make you a part of the pet health care team. This allows our
staff to work within your budget to create a treatment plan that is effective
yet affordable.
1. We
accept debit cards, credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover) and cash.
2. Payment
is expected when services are rendered. When unexpected illness strikes a pet,
unexpected expense strikes as well. The Pet Health Center understands
this and we may be able to make some special arrangements through two different
billing options:
a. iCare Credit Management – This
is a service that allows you to make a down payment on your invoice and then
pay off the remainder with monthly payments that match your budget. To learn
more about the iCare system call Mike at 215-739-6401 and he will be glad to
discuss how the plan works. Or you can find them on the web at
b. CareCredit- Much like a Visa card
your CareCredit card can also be used at participating dental offices. For more
information or to apply for a card visit visit www.CareCredit.com
or by calling 1-866-7864.
Insurance For Your Pets. Another popular option for your family and pet is insurance coverage. The U.S.A is now blessed with eleven different pet insurance companies offering a wide variety of policies. To learn more, visit www.petinsuranceuniversity.com.

Chilly day, good-looking crops
On a normal mid-June day in the Upper Midwest, many farmers apply chemicals to their crops or take a first cutting of alfalfa. But a recent Agweek trip through parts of Benson, Pierce and Bottineau counties in north-central North Dakota didn't take place on a normal mid-June day. The day of the trip provided the worst possible weather to spray crops or cut alfalfa: rain clouds filled the sky, temperatures fell south of 50 degrees and a stiff, cold wind shook even the stoutest evergreens in shelterbelts.By Jonathan Knutson , June 18, 2012

Improving 1/4 mile times
I have a basic 350 in a 70nova, it has edelbrock rpm heads, edelbrock performer epc manifold, hooker 1 5/8 headers, a holley 750dp, a comp magnum cam .480 lift 230 @.050 duration, 1.5 pro comp roller rockers, for the trans it is a turbo 350 with shift kit and has a 2400 stall converter in it, rear end is a 10 bolt with 3.42 gear, just last week I went to the track and I got a 13.66 at 101.97 miles an hour timing was set at 34 degrees total timing. I was just thinking of going from power steering to manual, and from mechanical fan and water pump to electric, just wanted to know everyones opinion as far as realiabilty is concerned.
Sponsored Links | |||

The 34 degrees timing sounds low to me. Typically we run race engine at 38 to 40 degrees (even one engine liked 41 degrees best).
Be very carefull! Don't go too far - listen for ping or watch your plugs BTW - Cool Car - I have a '72 (Below) |
As far as my 60ft times are concerned I did not do very good I had a 2.2 60ft. I was hoping to get it to a 2.0 60ft. I am probably going to stick with the 750dp because I just got it about 3 months ago, however I was considering going from 3.42 to 3.73. What my goal was to reach a 13.3 in the quarter mile so I can have a good advantage over my friends souped up wrx which runs mid to high 13s.
Might try a 3000 stall before you swap gearsets...? Cheaper and much easier to install... It will bring the RPM up into the torque band which is allowing the cam to work better for its RPM range...
get a different set of gears, 3.73's or 4.11's , and a higher stall convertor, i say keep the carb, you might want to put a bigger engine it it sometime, just put smaller jets in it, also play around with the timing, just messing with the timing, you should definitely be able to smoke a wrx, and you will have tons less $$$ in yours, and yours will also sound much better, i don't like the fart car noise
Bringing history and technology together. |
I like the bigger stahl to.
I dont like the 3.42 gears though. You need at least 3.73's, but 4.10 would be even better. That low 60ft time could be tire spin to. You running slicks? HG

His role includes building Ford's reputation globally and leading communications that reach customers, employees, dealers, suppliers, news media, communities, governments and policy-makers.
"Ray Day is a proven global leader who continues to take the company's communications capabilities and the telling of our Ford story to increasingly higher levels," said Ford President and CEO Alan Mulally. "Ray and his team are ensuring that everyone associated with Ford understands our One Ford plan and the progress we are making delivering profitable growth."

The new Global Dealer and Consumer Experience organization is being created to take the company's dealers and consumers' experiences with dealers to the next level. This includes global standards and best-practice sharing for planning, training and customer interaction at both the dealer level and within the company.
In addition, the new organization will be responsible for the Marketing, Sales and Service interface for Ford's global order-to-delivery system, which is a company-wide effort to improve vehicle quality and delivery time from the factory to dealers and customers. The goal is to streamline the company's current multiple global IT systems into a lean, efficient and fast-paced vehicle ordering and delivery process for customers and dealers going forward.
"Our new Global Dealer and Consumer Experience organization is the next step in our One Ford plan for profitable growth," Farley said. "Our new vehicles today are recognized around the world as leading in quality, fuel efficiency, safety, smart design and value. Now, we plan to bring that same standard of excellence to the dealer experience for our Ford and Lincoln customers worldwide.
"Elena Ford is the perfect leader to work with our global dealers and to help realize the opportunity we have in upgrading the consumer experience there," Farley continued. "Elena has extensive experience in global marketing, and her passion for our dealers is well-known around the world." Both appointments are effective March 1.
