The Next Manufacturing Revolution Is Not 3D. It's Software
A major challenge to creating and filling manufacturing jobs in the U.S. is the ever-increasing skills gap. There is a widespread misconception that these jobs are low-skill. To the contrary, a large portion of U.S. manufacturing is complex, requiring a high level of expertise that is hard to find. Investment in improved education and training is surely needed to fill more jobs. But the long-term solution is to lower the barriers of entry to manufacturing work through technology—specifically by using widely accessible, easy-to-use automation software that grows revenues, increases efficiencies, and reduces costs for manufacturers and their customers.

China: Baidu-Qihoo Search War Returns With Lawsuit
After disappearing from the headlines for a few months, the ongoing search war between industry leader Baidu and challenger Qihoo 360 has jumped back into the news with reports that the former has sued the latter. This new lawsuit is most likely just the first phase in a new stage of the battle between these two companies, and I fully expect Qihoo to file a countersuit within the next few weeks. More
Are Flash Sales Coming to Consumer Genomics?
Could consumers be persuaded to snatch up DNA sequences as must-have accessories? With former Gilt Groupe President Andy Page in a new leadership role, 23andMe might be able to swing that. The personal genetics company began late last year offering its Personal Genome service for $99 and set a goal to serve 1 million customers in 2013. More
Did Obama Just Destroy the U.S. Internet Industry?
News about the National Security Agency's PRISM program and its privileged access to internal user data at nine U.S. Internet companies has unleashed a torrent of justified anger and hand-wringing. But the worries do not go far enough. Almost everybody is still looking at this through a narrow domestic lens. Our values and goals may be more challenged than you think. More
London Diners Taste the Future: Drone-Delivered Dishes
In a marketing ploy to demonstrate how "light, exciting, and fun" its new rice burgers are, Yo! Sushi in London yesterday made a splash with the first use of a drone in food service. Pedestrians in the city's Soho section stopped in their tracks to snap iPhone photos of the flying food tray delivering meals to sidewalk diners. More

Reason Comes to China-Western Solar Clash
After more than a year of antagonism, I'm happy to see that the voice of reason finally seems to be coming to the ongoing clash between China and the West in their prolonged dispute over Beijing's state support for the solar panel sector. Germany seems to be the driving force behind this welcome change in tone, following German Chancellor Angela Merckel's remarks last week that she opposed anti-dumping tariffs on Chinese solar cells being proposed by the E.U.'s trade office. Merkel correctly realized that a trade war over solar panels wouldn't benefit anyone, and could potentially deal a crippling blow to a sector that will be critical to the world's future energy security.

Officials Respond Slowly to Deadly Virus, Quickly to IP Concerns
Bickering about intellectual property rights is interfering with a concerted global response to a dangerous new infectious disease. Middle East respiratory syndrome is a coronavirus that first emerged in that region last April and has a greater than 50 percent mortality rate. At least 54 people in Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, France, Germany, Italy, Tunisia, and the United Kingdom, have now contracted the infectious disease known as MERS-CoV, according to the World Health Organization. Thirty cases have been fatal. More
With $35 Million and a Fan in Bill Gates, ResearchGate Tackles Social Networking for Scientists
Social networking for scientists has been tried before, but not until recently have we seen investors placing big bets in this area. Earlier this year, the academic networking site Mendeley was acquired by scientific publisher Elsevier for somewhere in the ballpark of $70 million. And today brings a new data point: Berlin-based ResearchGate, a site designed to facilitate collaborations and data sharing among scientists around the world, has raised $35 million in a series C round from investors including Bill Gates.

Why the Internet of Everything Includes the Internet of You
When the tech industry talks about the Internet of Everything (IoE), it sounds so huge it's almost intimidating. Executives toss around numbers like 50 billion connected devices by 2015 and hundred-billion-dollar opportunities. But at the recent Techonomy Labs IoE forum, an idea emerged that's a little more embraceable on an intimate level. Listening to some of the presenters, it seemed clear that we'll all soon have our private little versions of the IoE. No one, as far as I can tell, has named this yet, so I'll call it the Internet of You ... or IoU. More
Google Rethinks China E-Commerce
Six months after abruptly shuttering its China-based e-commerce search business, global Internet titan Google is reportedly rethinking that decision with plans to re-enter the market. The decision looks like the latest acknowledgement by Google that China is simply too big to ignore, following its high profile shuttering of its China-based general search business in 2010 after a spat with Beijing over censorship. If this latest story is true, the next logical question might be whether we could see Google return to the general China search market, where competition is suddenly starting to heat up after years of dominance by market leader Baidu.

Could a Drone Kill You on Its Own?
Drones are among the fastest-growing concerns of citizens and governments worldwide. The U.S. has taken the lead in using them militarily for attacks and assassination, generating extensive criticism and promoting a debate over whether the policy reduces or increases terrorism. Israel, too, has extensively used military drones, and China has admitted contemplating it. Now worries have emerged among rights activists and others that the decision over whether or not to kill may itself be delegated to the drones. More
Venturing Out with Memoto's Lifelogging Camera
I'm sitting across from an older man in a navy blue coat and a red sweater in the crowded Stockholm metro, on my way to celebrate a friend's birthday. Unremarkable, except that I'm recording it all with a Memoto Lifelogging Camera on my lapel. The man and I do our best to avoid eye contact. This is going well until I start fiddling with the camera, concerned it's not shooting straight ahead. This catches his attention and for a second he takes in the small gadget. The prototype's transparent shell exposes the components inside, but the man looks away and doesn't seem overly concerned. More
Going the Distance: Tesla to Expand Network of Charging Stations
With an expanding network of fast-charging stations, the 10-year-old Tesla electric car will soon be able to traverse the United States. This signals the next phase in Tesla Motors Inc.'s ability to appeal to a more geographically diverse market. "Tesla needs a broader network of charging stations to appeal to customers beyond California and the northeastern U.S., where it now has fueling spots. Without such stations, Tesla drivers are limited by the estimated 265-mile (426-kilometer) range of a battery charge," Douglas MacMillan & Alan Ohnsman write in Bloomberg. More
Alibaba's Logistics Gamble: Difficulty Ahead
Say the word "logistics" in any conversation and you'll almost inevitably put anyone listening to sleep. But the concept is hardly a boring one in China's hyper-competitive e-commerce space, where industry leader Alibaba has just announced a massive 100 billion yuan ($16.3 billion) plan to build up its logistics network over the next few years. To me this plan looks like a direct response to similar recent moves by e-commerce names like Jingdong, Tencent, and Amazon, which are aggressively building logistics networks with an aim of reducing delivery times to two hours or less.

A Farewell: The Professor Who Made India a Tech Power
A remarkable character in the history of technology died this week in Bangalore. Few in the West have even heard of him, yet every Indian technology company, every U.S. corporation that ever sent software development to India, and in fact the entire globalized world-is-flat economy owes him a debt of gratitude. Padma Bhushan N. Seshagiri was an unlikely tech industry hero. While doing a project in India over the past 18 months, I got to know him a little. He struck me as brash, brilliant, and nerdy. When he talked about all of the incredible behind-the-scenes roles he played in launching the Indian tech sector, I at first thought he had an overblown sense of himself. It turns out he didn't. More
Why Medical Research Does Big Data Wrong
Medicine is among many sectors waiting to be transformed by big data, we often hear. Conducting global studies of disease progression, integrating health records electronically, or analyzing petabyte-size banks of DNA sequence data should hasten the pace of medical discovery and lead to faster cures, the thinking goes. Not so fast, says computational biologist Michael Liebman. Health information is only as useful as the thought that went into gathering it. And Liebman says not enough thought is being applied to what data should be collected in healthcare. More
XO's Carley Roney on Going Mobile in China
At a Dell Women's Entrepreneurship Network dinner, Techonomy's David Kirkpatrick spoke with Carley Roney about XO's entry into China. Roney notes that China is the biggest wedding market in the world, with ten million marriages each year. But launching The Knot's online platform in China was more difficult than expected, because Chinese consumers already expect full mobile integration. "What was interesting was how far advanced they were from a technological perspective," says Roney. "So there we were thinking we were going to import our knowledge, and then we were like, 'Hey, do any of your engineers on the mobile side want to give us any ideas?'" The Chinese version of The Knot, ijie.com (which tranlates as "Love Knot"), launched in late 2010. More

Hemmings Find of the Day – Yenko-Weslake 32-valve Chevrolet small-block V-8
While we most commonly associate Weslake with Ford V-8 engines, Chevrolet and Yenko did work with the British tuner to build a number of aluminum pushrod-activated 32-valve cylinder heads for the small-block Chevrolet V-8—reportedly 100 were planned, but only 10 sets were built, and only three assembled into full engines. This Yenko-Weslake 32-valve Chevrolet small-block V-8 for sale on Hemmings.com is one of those three assembled engines, originally built by Alan Smith Racing Engines in England, and the only one not in Speedy Bill Smith's museum, according to the seller. From his description:
This incredible 32 Valve Weslake Chevrolet is the Holy Grail of period Small Block Chevrolet performance engines. Commissioned by Chevrolet, this was a collaborative effort between Chevrolet and Weslake Engineering. Only three complete engines were originally built and only ten pairs of heads cast. This 355 ci Weslake Chevrolet engine was one of the three complete engines and was originally built by Alan Smith for Weslake Engineering in the U.K. It has recently been show finished and rebuilt for street use.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1961 San Diego Steel Products Indy roadster
Built to challenge the dominance of the Offenhauser at Indy, this 1961 Indy roadster, also known as the San Diego Steel Products roadster, for sale on Hemmings.com, never actually raced in the Indianapolis 500. However, as its seller notes, the roadster served notice that the Offenhauser engine's days were indeed numbered at that level of competition, and at the same time it showcased the potency of the Chevrolet small-block V-8. Raced until the 1980s, it has since been restored to its 1961 configuration and livery and has made numerous appearances at vintage races. From the seller's description:

Duntov's test-mule Corvette among final Bloomington Great Hall class

The enduring success of Chevrolet's Corvette really boils down to one factor: the small-block Chevrolet V-8. Not only did the engine help keep the Corvette from getting axed in its infancy, it also provided many a racing victory for the fiberglass bowtie over the years. With such a legacy, it's no surprise that the very first V-8 Corvette, the car known commonly as "Duntov's Mule," will take its place alongside the 50 most significant cars in Corvette history among the 2014 Bloomington Great Hall inductees.
As 1954 came to a close, Chevrolet was growing concerned that its Corvette sports car was a sales dud. Despite lowering the retail price from $3,498 in 1953 to $2,774 in 1954, consumers still largely ignored the six-cylinder-powered two-seat roadster, and GM executives, anticipating future losses, began to consider killing off the Corvette. Two things converged to prevent the car's demise, however: Ford launched its own two-seater, the Thunderbird, while GM readied a compact V-8 engine that would give the Corvette a much-needed infusion of power.
At the direction of Chevrolet chief engineer Mauri Rose, legendary tuner Smokey Yunick installed an experimental 265-cu.in. V-8 into a Corvette test mule body in 1954. Upon the car's return from Daytona Beach, Florida, to Detroit, Michigan, it was given the internal code of EX-87, and once the car's functionality and durability tests were completed, EX-87 was handed off to Corvette's chief engineer, Zora Arkus Duntov, who would use the car (now known as number 5951) in speed record testing at GM's Arizona Proving Grounds, in preparation for a high-speed record run at Daytona Beach in January of 1956. Knowing that such a record would drive Corvette sales, Duntov took his job seriously, and once again enlisted the help of Smokey Yunick in building an engine capable of record-setting speeds.
Though GM's new 195hp 265-cu.in. V-8 produced more power than the Corvette's previous 150hp 235.5-cu.in. straight-six, Duntov believed the larger engine's output was still insufficient to break the 150 MPH barrier. To up output, the V-8 was bored to increase displacement to 307 cubic inches, and Duntov then lobbied GM's engineering department to provide a hotter cam for use in the record attempts. What followed was the first instance of the "Duntov cam,"
also known as the "Duntov 30-30," and this experimental engine would go on to power 5951 (modified for the record run with a smaller windscreen, a fiberglass cockpit tonneau cover and an vertical fin for high-speed stability) to a top speed of 163 MPH in late 1955. In January of 1956, the same engine powered a different Corvette (number 6091) to a record speed of 150.583 MPH at Daytona.
With the testing complete, Yunick pulled the experimental V-8 engine, shrouded it in plastic and tucked it into a corner of his shop with its original documentation and a note reading "Record Run." It remained lost to history until Yunick's death in 2001, when it was rediscovered by Steve Tate, a long-time friend and associate of Yunick's. With the engine in hand, Tate began the process of seeking out the number 5951 chassis, which had been sold off by GM following the conclusion of testing. Although the car had seen a string of owners over the years, Tate and his colleagues eventually located the car and its original log book, which documented the car's role in the development of the V-8 Corvette. Restored to the condition of its 1955 record run, Duntov's Mule made its public debut at the 2003 Blooming Gold Corvette Show. In 2009, collector and Corvette guru Ken Lingenfelter bought the car for $310,000 out of Chevrolet dealer Bob McDorman's collection at Mecum's Indianapolis auction.
Other Corvette models joining the Duntov Mule in the final Bloomington Gold Great Hall induction ceremony will be the 1963 Mark II Z06; the 1966 427 coupe; the 1967 327 coupe; the 1967 DX L88; the 1968 Owens-Corning Racer; the 1969 Rebel L88 Racer; the Pratt and Miller Le Mans Racer; the fourth-generation Corvette; and the C7 Corvette. The Great Hall also recognizes the 50 people and institutions most instrumental to the Corvette's legacy, and this year's class includes Larry Shinoda, Vince Piggins, Karl Ludvigsen, the National Corvette Museum, Terry Michaelis, Dana Mecum, Irwin Kroiz, Bob Gold, Al Grenning, and Cypress Garden.
Previous Bloomington Gold Great Hall inductees are listed on the event's website.
Bloomington Gold will take place June 27-29 on the grounds of the University of Illinois in Champaign, Illinois. For additional information, visit BloomingtonGold.com.
Once-lost Super Cheetah prototype, discovered in garage after 40 years, now for sale
Photos courtesy Bob Auxier, except where noted.
Bill Thomas's Cheetah may very well have become a legend on par with Carroll Shelby's Cobra if it hadn't been for a number of factors, a shop fire and a sudden withdrawal of funding from Chevrolet among them. However, Thomas had even larger plans beyond those homologation racing coupes, and the never-completed prototype for those plans, what he called the Super Cheetah, has come up for sale after resting in a garage for 40 years.
Thomas was certainly no unknown quantity in Chevrolet performance during the 1950s and 1960s. An engineer by training, the Southern Californian took an interest in Chevrolets – Corvettes in particular – and not only racked up dozens of road-race wins behind a Corvette's wheel, but also became an expert in tuning Chevrolet's Rochester fuel-injection systems and small-block V-8s. He got his foot in the door with Chevrolet in 1961, sticking small-blocks into Chevy IIs, and when Shelby introduced the Cobra, Thomas approached Chevrolet with a plan to strike back: Setting up shop in Anaheim, California, with master fabricator Don Edmunds, he'd build 100 fiberglass-bodied Chevrolet-powered coupes to satisfy FIA homologation requirements. Fuel-injected 327s would provide the power, running through Corvette drivetrain components, including the Corvette's independent rear suspension, though the drivetrain would be considerably shortened – to the point where Thomas required only a u-joint, and no driveshaft between the tail of the transmission and the rear end's center section.

To package it all, Thomas decided on a custom chassis with a 90-inch wheelbase and a sleek gullwing-door coupe body. After Edmunds finished the first two prototype bodies in aluminum from California Metal Stamping sections built over Edmunds's wooden buck, the rest were built from fiberglass. The bodies provided little room for the driver – and even less venting for the heat that built up inside of them – but also dropped the Cheetah's weight down to around 1,500 pounds and enabled 200-plus-MPH top speeds. Even before homologation, the Cheetah competed successfully in SCCA's modified classes, but a rule change during the 1964 racing season – to force manufacturers to build 1,000 cars for homologation instead of 100 – contributed to Chevrolet's decision to pull its funding for the Cheetah project in May 1964. According to Bob Auxier of BTM Race Cars, which builds continuation Cheetahs today, Bill Thomas built just 19 chassis and 33 bodies before the funding ran out (At least one company, Allied Fiberglass, offered replica bodies for sale for a while.). While Thomas tried to keep the venture going on his own afterward, a September 1965 fire brought those efforts to a halt. What remained of the venture was sold off at a sheriff's auction in the summer of 1970.
Original rendering of the Super Cheetah.
One reason Thomas tried to keep the Cheetah alive even after Chevrolet's withdrawal from the project ironically plays into Chevrolet's reasons for withdrawing in the first place. According to Auxier, Thomas only intended for the Cheetahs to serve as the developmental prototypes for the Super Cheetah, a grand touring car meant for street use that would address all the issues that cropped up on the "little Cheetah." Thomas widened it by four inches, lengthened it by 19 inches, made the doors 10 inches wider, and fixed some suspension issues that plagued the initial cars. He also envisioned the Super Cheetah using a choice of big-block or small-block engines, manual or automatic transmissions, and creature comforts such as air conditioning.
Chevrolet's experimental Corvair Monza GT.
His inspiration for the Super Cheetah's styling came in part from the Chevrolet Corvair Monza GT. According to Auxier, Thomas did some developmental work on the Monza GT's engine and chassis in 1961-1962 and obviously took a shine to the kamm-style tail that Larry Shinoda and Tony Lapine incorporated in their design for the mid-engine experimental car. "A lot of people said that the Super Cheetah was styled off the Cobra Daytona coupe, but that's not the case," Auxier said. "Bill had his own drawings done for the Super Cheetah that clearly show the rear end inspired by the Monza GT."
The front end, however, was pure Cheetah. In fact, Thomas took the aluminum nose, cowl, doglegs and windshield header off one of the two prototype Cheetahs – according to Auxier, the one that he sent to GM for testing purposes (the very first of those two cars) – and mated it to the Super Cheetah's rear section. Because Edmunds had left Thomas's venture before Thomas began work on the Super Cheetah, Thomas again turned to California Metal Stamping to shape the remainder of the the aluminum pieces for the body, then had Don Borth and Warren Williams assemble the body. "Bill used the aluminum body simply because he didn't have the funds for another body," Auxier said. "He knew that the prototype's aluminum body would be torn up racing anyway." (Indeed, the first prototype Cheetah's chassis was rebodied in fiberglass and wrecked multiple times over the years. Apparently only three of the first-run Cheetah's still have their original bodies mated to their original chassis.)
Thomas began work on the Super Cheetah in 1963, before Chevrolet pulled its funding. He generated a spec sheet and even outlined plans for fiberglass-bodied production Super Cheetahs and to formulate an assault on Le Mans in 1965 with the aluminum prototype Super Cheetah, likely with Jerry Titus at the wheel.
"Chevrolet got nervous when they saw Bill's plans for the Super Cheetah," Auxier said. "They saw it as competition for the Corvette, and that probably caused them to pull out more than anything."
At 100 units, that wouldn't have been very likely, but the 1,000-unit mark started to look somewhat significant against the Corvette's production numbers, at the time hovering around 22,000 to 23,000.
Whatever the exact cause of the pullout, Thomas continued to piece the Super Cheetah together for the next year or so, installing a drivetrain, suspension, brakes (discs versus the little Cheetah's drums), and wheels and tires to make it a roller, but after the fire – which occurred in a separate part of the shop from where Thomas kept the Super Cheetah – he put it away into storage and focused on building race engines. At the sheriff's auction, none other than Don Edmunds bought the Super Cheetah with a winning bid of $300. Edmunds then sold it about a year later for $1,750, untouched, sitting on the chassis jig for the smaller Cheetahs with just a small-block V-8 mocked into place. A man in Memphis, Tennessee, bought it and then left it in his garage, again untouched, for the next 40 years.

Auxier – who began building continuation Cheetahs with Bill Thomas's blessing in 2001, before Thomas died in October 2009 – said he tracked the Super Cheetah down 20 years ago but wasn't able to actually view it until the family of the man who bought it agreed to sell it to him in August 2011. Since removing it from its garage, he has made it a roller again, this time with a 427-cu.in. Chevrolet V-8, Muncie M22 four-speed transmission and 2.72-geared Corvette rear end. While he's currently working toward finishing it in the exact configuration that Bill Thomas envisioned for the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans – in Corvette Daytona Blue with red and white stripes up the nose and black interior – he has also put it up for sale on the Hemmings.com classifieds with an asking price of $1.25 million. Auxier said his original plan was to finish the Super Cheetah for the 2014 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance; in his listing on Hemmings.com he will consider taking on an investor to complete it for the concours. "I think it's worth $2.5 million if I finish it," he said.
Auxier had put the Cheetah continuation company up for sale in 2011, but found no buyers and said he was simply looking for investors at the time. He has since returned to building continuation Cheetahs from his shop in Glendale, Arizona. He also said he is developing plans to build more Super Cheetahs in carbon fiber.
Fuel economy, emissions, and a CVCC-equipped Chevrolet Impala

Many Americans saw the advent of the catalytic converter in the mid-1970s as a necessary evil to make sure automobiles passed the Clean Air Act and other emissions regulations, but catalytic converters were just one possible solution implemented at the time, and weren't necessarily the only option for big American cars, as Honda set out to prove in 1973.
Honda had just barely entered the automotive market when air quality became a serious concern in Japan in the mid-1960s. According to Honda World, the company responded in the summer of 1965 by forming an Air Pollution Research Group, which then spent the next couple of years compiling everything there was to know at the time about smog and what caused it. The practical suggestions that resulted from that research initially included everything from
enhancements in gasoline and diesel engine technologies to alternatives such as gas turbines, rotary engines, and Stirling engines. They even studied post-processing devices such as oxidation catalyst and thermal reactors, and alternative fuels such as alcohol and hydrogen.
But Honda built reciprocating gas engines and intended to stick with them for the time being, so the team narrowed their research to improving the combustion process, specifically to lean-combustion methods, resulting in the Compound Vortex Controlled Combustion (CVCC) engine, announced in 1971 and introduced to the world a year later. Essentially an adaptation of the prechambers already in use on diesel engines, the CVCC engine moved the spark plugs to the gasoline engine's prechambers, where they ignited a fuel-rich mixture that then propagated into the regular combustion chamber and ignited a leaned-out mixture. During the CVCC's development process, Honda's engineers discovered not only that the engine could meet upcoming emissions regulations (and return improved fuel mileage), but that it could do so without a heavy and expensive catalytic converter and with a specially designed carburetor rather than an expensive fuel-injection system.
Honda introduced the CVCC-engined Civic in 1973 and that same summer licensed the technology to both Ford and Chrysler, among other auto manufacturers. General Motors apparently passed on licensing it, and according to a recent recollection by G Duncan at Japanese Nostalgic Car, GM's then-chairman and CEO, Richard C. Gerstenberg, dismissed the technology as appropriate only for "some little toy motorcycle engine… I see no potential for it on one of our GM car engines." As Duncan wrote:
When Mr. Honda heard this, he bought a 1973 V8 Impala, air-freighted it to Japan, designed and cast a set of CVCC heads for the Chevy engine, tested it in our own emission labs, then flew the car back to the EPA's facility in Ann Arbor, and had it tested by them… where it passed the stringent 1975 emissions requirements.
Exactly how involved Soichiro Honda was in the project remains unclear, but the company did indeed obtain at least one 1973 Chevrolet Impala and replace its cylinder heads, intake manifold, and carburetor with specially modified versions that incorporated CVCC prechambers. As has been related several times since then, the Impala, when tested by the EPA with the modified cylinder heads, went on to not only meet the federal emissions standards without the help of a catalytic converter, but also improve on the Impala's fuel economy.
Or maybe not.
According to the EPA's evaluation of the modified Impala, as seen in a report filed in October 1973, Honda modified the Impala only "to demonstrate that the CVCC concept would successfully reduce emissions on full-size American cars." The engineers who modified it managed to keep it at its stock rating of 160 horsepower (though at 3,700 RPM rather than 4,000 RPM) and retained the Impala's stock three-speed automatic transmission, air conditioning, power steering and power brakes. Curiously, they either replaced the Impala's stock 2.73 ring and pinion with a 3.08 set or used a 2.73-equipped Impala for comparison purposes.
As seen in Table III of the report, the CVCC modifications significantly reduced hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions, but ended up increasing NOx and carbon dioxide emissions. Fuel economy also suffered at every speed by an average of about 15 percent (though how the EPA managed to wring close to 20 MPG out of a stock 350-powered 1973 Impala we can't fathom). Nevertheless, the EPA report concluded that "the ability of the CVCC engine concept to meet statutory 1975/76 hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide standards when applied to a full-sized vehicle application was confirmed" and that "fuel economy of this vehicle was comparable or slightly better than 1973 vehicles having similar weight and engine displacement." The latter conclusion likely came from the comparison in Table VI of the report, which pitted the CVCC Impala (now suddenly rated at 10.4 MPG) against 350-powered full-sizes from the other GM brands, which averaged 9.5 MPG – not exactly an apples to apples comparison.
Could General Motors have developed a competitive CVCC engine and ditched the catalytic converters? Possibly, especially if it weren't tangled up in other alternative engine technologies (*cough* rotary *cough*). GM's engineers very well could have improved on the EPA's test results as well – after all, the EPA wasn't testing a production-ready engine, rather an undeveloped prototype.
Then again, even Honda capitulated after a while and ditched the CVCC engine for catalytic converters and electronic fuel injection.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1970 Chevrolet Corvette
Often called the ultimate Chevrolet small-block V-8, the LT-1 is a natural fit for the third-generation Corvette, combining light weight and high horsepower in a package designed as much for acceleration as for handling. This 1970 Chevrolet Corvette for sale on Hemmings.com appears to be one of the best examples of an LT-1 Corvette one can find, with one of the NCRS's most coveted awards under its belt. From the seller's description:
The Donnybrooke Green 1970 LT-1 coupe being offered for sale here is quite simply one of the nicest, if not the nicest, highly original and beautifully restored examples to be found today. This is a 1970 LT-1, with its original drivetrain, Corvette Order Copy (Tank Sheet), photographic documentation of its 1st class body-off restoration, and the NCRS Duntov Award of Excellence, with only 200 miles on the odometer since the restoration was completed and the car judged.
Status: No Longer Available

GM builds its 100 millionth small-block?
It would be easy to say (or write) that GM has made countless small-block engines over the years. But, it wouldn't be true, because GM has, in fact, been counting. Sort of.
On November 29, GM produced what they are calling their 100 millionth small-block engine, a 638hp, supercharged LS9 destined for the museum, instead of its natural habitat under the hood of the 200MPH-plus Corvette ZR1.
But they didn't claim it was their 100,000,000th small-block V-8. Surely, they have made tens of millions of those, but GM also included in its count 90-degree V-6 engines that share some parts and bore spacing with the small-block V-8. And they also include current and more recent generation V-8s (think: LT and LS) that certainly share lineage and bore spacing with the original 265-cu.in. V-8 from 1955 that we traditionally think of as the Chevrolet small-block, but not much else.
There are no parts shared or even compatible between today's all-aluminum, 376-cu.in. Gen-IV 430hp Corvette LS3 and that cast-iron 265-cu.in. V-8 from the 1955 Corvette. We're not saying that GM doesn't have a reason to be proud of an engine family that is nearly synonymous with American hot rodding. Today's V-8, after all, is enough to take a base Corvette to 180 MPH and still get mid-20s MPG on the highway.
But we do think that it's a bit of a stretch to claim such a milestone. Yet.
Of course, that one with eight zeros includes a whole lot of 350 V-8s in various states of tune, engines that have lived in everything from those svelte Corvettes to portly Bel Air station wagons to tens of millions of trucks to the original sport utility vehicle, the Suburban, not to mention plenty of cars that were never intended to be powered by a GM small-block, like T-buckets, '32 Fords and countless lead sleds.
It's pretty hard to be a car guy and not have some memory of a GM small-block. What's yours?
For even more detail, GM shared these fast facts as well.
Hemmings Find of the Day – Chevrolet-powered stagecoach
Every car guy should have a Boothill Express-inspired Chevy small-block-powered stagecoach such as this one for sale on Hemmings.com as a reminder not to take collector cars too seriously. This is a hobby, after all – why not have some fun with it? Bonus – you can apparently fit a donkey in it. From the seller's description:
350 Chevy small-block, all high performance parts. Wild cam makes a nice idle. Aftermarket heads cast iron. MSD ignition. Weiand Team G manifold. All billet and chrome engine accessories. Ceramic coated headers. No expense spared in the build up. 10-bolt posi rear end with cast aluminum cover. Drag radials on the back brand new. Car will seriously haul ass if you dare. Very fun to drive and cruise, sounds great and always draws a crowd.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL
As seller Dave Wolin tells the story of this 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL replica for sale on Hemmings.com, he found the fiberglass shell of a body in a backyard in the San Gabriel Valley where it had sat for 50 years, reportedly an attempt to replicate the famed gullwing that didn't go anywhere due to legal intervention by Mercedes-Benz. Dave decided to resurrect the 300 SL, though as a car capable of tangoing on the track with a tube chassis and American V-8. From the seller's description:
1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL replica race/track day car; probably the only one in existence. Trans Am/GT1/LMSC tubular chassis, powdercoated fiberglass body. 330 hp/350 sbc crate motor; Richmond gear 4-speed, Speedway quickchange. Holley race carb, alloy flywheel, G-Force shifter. 6 races & 6 hillclimbs from new.

Attention manly men of GW!
Have I got some fashion tips for you! Remember the leotards from the 80's? Flash Dance the movie? They are being re-introduced to the male population of the 2006! Do you have any left over pairs that were lost at the back of a closet? A nearby thrift shop with some in stock? You too can be a fashion tycoon! PJ
Here is a link that might be useful:
Warnings would take out all the fun! LOL!That lil getup is(I swear,cross my heart hopetodie) is Calvin Klein's 2006 spring collection! I take a peek at high fashion on the Paris runways for a laugh once in a while. It's so hilarious. The women were wearing old curtains (???) LOL! PJ
I can just see DH when I bring home a pair of tights for him to wear! He wouldn't be caught dead hanging around that fella, much less donning a pair his-self!
I think that guy is having a problem with them riding up on him. That is why he has that look on his face.
I wonder how they psych themselves up to go out in public wearing those get-ups! LOL
I was at Dillards one time walking through the men's section where there was an underwear display complete with undies made out of shiny gold fabric, and various other fancy undies for men. There were 2 men shopping together seriously looking at the underwear, looking like they really wanted it. I couldn't believe, first of all, that Dillards would have that display right by the main walkway, and secondly, that any man, no matter what their preferences, would stand there shopping for them so comfortably. These men didn't even seem embarrased. I'm quite open minded but even that had me picking my jaw up off the floor.
Hehehehe, Sally, you are open minded, this is just so out there, lol
Although centuries ago men wore laced articles of clothing, lol
I have seen so may entertainers in tight spandex so it was funny to see being hawked to all men but the MANTIES, I couldn't get used to that and it would bee worse for DH's ago because I would constantly be laughing at him, lol
Nooo Nooo...the Manties could not be worn under the tights...they'd show the ruffles...LOLOLOL!!!!
Ohhh myyyy....if ONLY it had been in a different color????...rofl....
**closes eyes and imagines DH in those**.....ROFL ROFL ROFL....HICCUP...ROFL!!!!
Ohhhh myyyy that is just too crazy...and them manties???..rofl ROFL ROFLLLLL......*HICCUP*...ROFLROFL....
Wow...whew...made my nite!!!
Nope, PJ....I stopped shooting fashion. Got too old for all that, especially in Texas heat. I put in my share of time dealing with the frenzy, though.
The styles now, are not much to talk about, but at one time, Versache was really high fashion stuff. After his murder in Miami, it was never the same, although his sister tried hard.
Haven't seen anything in the past couple of years, in fashion, worth noting.
Most fashion photography has gone downhill also.....a victim of the digital revolution, where anyone good with a computer, thinks they can be a photographer. (Not that much different from when anyone with a decent 35 mm camera.....as opposed to a Kodak Brownie.....thought they could be a pro photographer.
These days, I often cringe, when I pass a fashion billboard....the work is so bad. (Especially "The Gap".)
There are a lot of "guys with cameras", but only a few good photographers.
Most of the photogs out there today, don't even know how to make a garment look good.
These days I "shoot" for a college, and go home at the end of the day, to a little peace and tranquility. When your days get numbered, you need to step back and enjoy as much of life as you can.
The only magazine ad I recall admiring in the past couple of years was of a model wearing an elegant black gown, a Doberman and a Christofle champagne bucket! The work was simply beautiful.
LOL! I hear that! I only have fairly decent acrylics!No Old Master knock-offs they're still too expensive! LOL! PJ
Have a couple of Kincaid knockoffs, one of which I like better than the original, with the minor changes that were made.
The originals are called Meadowwood Cottage and Mountain Chapel. One is 48x60 and the other is 30x40 oil on canvas.
Do have a couple of prints also, from G. Harvey. One is called Teton Valley, and I still haven't indentified the title on the other.....it is seldom seen, and has been sold out. One day, I may have to remove the back cover on the frame, and find out what it is called.
The rest.....who knows? We don't have any space left for anything larger than a 5x7. (smile)
How did I miss this?? We all agree the manpanties look remarkably like our grandmothers underwear, except for the bows. On the plus side, I guess, if you run out of clean drawers you can wear his!
My brother is a construction worker, somehow I just can't picture him in these or the tights for that matter.
I couldn't get my DH into tights for the ren faire, don't even want to suggest manpanties!
What a hoot! So who ordered the bows and roses???
I just saw this thread and I can't stop laughing!! What is this world coming to???? Oh my gosh! Manties???? Could you imagine a first time, um, "date" with someone, and that's what he was wearing???? How horrifying would that be??? eeewwwww!!!!
I'm going to send this link to DH's work e-mail..LOL...I hope he's alone in his office when he opens it....or not!ROTFLMBO!!!
PJ - that's what my DH tells me!! LOL
BTW, he was grossed out by the "manties", and threatened divorce if any showed up by surprise...especially at Christmas in front of everyone! (he read my mind!) hahahahaha I'm lucky he has a great sense of humor,,,but I don't think it would stretch that far.... :-)
Hey....my son (he's 32) would be a good "target".....ROTFLMBO at that idea, imagining the look on his face!!! hahahahahahaha Oooh...I'm such a li'l stinker!!

I am ordering a TS2-010 as we speak so tmrw I am going to the hardware store to get some wire, shrinkwrap, ect... What gauge wire should I use to hook this thing up? The freezer I just scored for free on craigslist draws 4.2 amps.
On Tap: - dry stout on nitro
- barrel aged flanders red
- Rye pale ale
- dry cider

Makes sense. 12 gauge it is..thanks again
May be a dumb question, but what is the difference between the TS2-010 and the TS-13010???
hmm.. I cant find the TS2-010 on the Lovecontrols site.. weird. It could be an older model or a "pre-TS-13010"...

I am IN LOVE with this rug. For a while all of the sheepskin rugs were sold out on Overstock, so when they came back I jumped on it! I wanted a sheepskin rug to put right next to my bed. The 3x5 size fits PERFECTLY. It's so so lush and soft and amazing. I don't have any pets but I make jokes that the sheepskin rug is my puppy because of how soft and cuddly it is. This is one of the best purchases I've made on Overstock - I highly recommend it if you are in the market for a sheepskin rug.
Mine was a little bigger than listed on the site which was great for me it is thick and lush and I really love it.
Great rugs at a great price. Very plush and luxe everyone keeps asking about them!
I really didn't want to spend this much on the sheepskin rug, but I'm glad I did. It is very impressive and looks great beside my bed on the dark wood floor. Some of the reviews complained about the shape, one side being straight, but that works for me because thats the side I put next to the bed and it looks like a custom fit. Also, the rug did smell when it arrived, which is natural as it is an animal skin, I just put it out in the sun for one day and it lost all odor. I think its a great value; really love the look.
be warned when this rug arrives it will need to be aired out. when you open the box it will have an odor (it is a hide after all) all you need to do is place it outside over a chair or on a table for a couple of hours and the odor will go away. this is a very good quality rug and looks amazing anywhere.
A little yellow but I still like it
Love this rug. It is so fluffy and soft. I have it on the side of my bed,so nice to step on this in the morning. As other reviewers mentioned , it does smell at first. ( put it outside to air out) and it does have one side that is straight cut, not curvy. I wanted the whitest rug I could get, but there will a slight variation of color because it is real fur. I have had many compliments on this rug and am very pleased with the quality.
Returned item as one side was obvious on the splitting, one straight edge and one naturally shaped edge.
Great quality and great rug. Luckily the cut worked for me but it may not work unless you are putting it up against a wall. One side is cut flat. Just be aware of that before ordering.
soft and fluffy. very pretty. great price. will dress up any room beautifully.

Date of Stay: September, 2011 - $10.00
Really off the beaten path but worth it if that's what you want. Very much "in the woods" but so quiet and peaceful. We were the only ones for the first night being off season so we had the run of the place so to speak. Lot was hard packed and fairly level. Beautiful pool area that's spring fed. Even as far out as it was we were still able to pick up TV through the antenna. Just be home before dark because dirt and gravel roads are kind of tricky on a bike! We camped at Roaring Springs Ranch Club in a Fifth Wheel.Undo
Date of Stay: June, 2008 - $10.00
When arrive to check in the girl in the office was not a friendly person to work in that job. We never did go in because she told us that we could not leave before 8:00 am because the gate is locked. Ask about a safety factor for medical or wild fires,, how would you get out. She said that the person responsible lives 4 miles down the road. Now in a emergence how long would that take her to get the gate open. We have never camped at a park that locked the gate and the campers could not get out. We camped at Roaring Springs Ranch Club in a Fifth Wheel.Undo
Date of Stay: May, 2008 - $5.00
We love to camp at Roaring Springs Ranch Club. You need a membership to camp here, or be a member of Coast to Coast. Members have a key to the front gate so you'll have 24 hour access, in or out. Golf course and some secluded RV spots. In February, we had the entire ranch to ourselves. The pool is spring fed and maintains a balmy 56 degrees year round. Best used on those 100+ deg Texas summer days. You can't imagine how many stars there are in a Texas sky until you visited a place like this! Please do not plan a trip here: we want it to ourselves! We camped at Roaring Springs Ranch Club in a Travel Trailer.Undo
Date of Stay: October, 2007 - $8.00
This campground was a surprise, to say the least. It's out in the middle of nowhere. However, it is very nice and even has a golf course. Some of the campsites are right on the course. There are a couple very small towns within 10 miles, but if you arrive on a Sunday, most of everything is closed. We would stay here again, but unless we want to just commune with nature, not for too long. Not much to do in the area. We camped at Roaring Springs Ranch Club in a Fifth Wheel.Undo

World of Warcraft is Infectious 91
from the practice-safe-mmoging dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Beginning at 4:00 AM PDT on 9/17 we will be issuing rolling restarts to all realms to apply a hotfix. We expect this to resolve several issues:
-Fixed an exploit with drakonids where players could get a head start.
-Nefarian's drakonids have reduced damaging abilities
-The wild polymorph cast by Nefarius in Blackwing Lair, can no longer be canceled early by clicking it off.
-Arathi Basin holiday honor should now be awarding the bonus properly.
-Hakkar's spell Corrupted Blood can no longer exist outside of Zul'Gurub
That does not sound right unless there is a point where excercising too much does start to reverse the good side effects.Only natural variation in your immune system would offer a difference, and because extreme physical exercise actually weakens your immune system, the level 12 billion warrior would likely die more quickly than the CPA.
> For a second I misread that as "used to fling diseased horses".
Those too, actually. Ancient siege warfare was a nasty business.
You could siege castles/towns in Darklands [goodolddays.net] . Poison the water supply, attack merchants supplying the castle. Eventually the leader and his crew would come out and you had to fight them to take over the town
Hang on, why not talk to your fucking supervisor when they're paying you and you've got "nothing going on"?
I'm sorry, but this sounds hilarious (I'm sorry I missed the streets paved with corpses of the dead) and absolutely appropriate. I mean, explorers returning from a remote, mysterious, newly-discovered jungle outpost bring back a highly-contagious disease that decimates the young and weak and severely weakens the strong? Entire books and movies have been written with less to work with!
It was a cool idea, but deep down the purpose of the plague was to add a flat ~300 dps to a specific boss battle.
No problem is so large it can't be fit in somewhere.

How long are you estimating to build?
Hi everyone. I'm new here, so I apologize if this has been discussed.
We are building a new home, and hope to start in October/Nov. We have the floor plans done, but are still doing the exterior and roof lines before we get final prints.
How long are you estimating it will take to get your house from breaking ground to closing?
Our builder has to be done by Jan 15th. He has no room for extensions unless we ratify the contract. Any interest or penalties we face for going over are absorbed by him. His working time on a build is 6-7 months. This is verified by my bank who has worked with him many times. Also I have seen him do two builds and that timeline was accurate. I know many people go way over that time, but I guess it depends on the builder and the type of build.
Our house isn't as grand as some on the beautiful houses on GW but we were told only 90 days from start to completion. Well we are easily into month 4 and still havent closed yet. After they finish my ridiculous punch list I guess we can close :) I went back to verify the contract and if the punchlist items are brought up after the walk(3 days before close) they can be considered warranty items and they have up to 90 days to complete. Therefore I am getting my punch list to them ahead of schedule because I want it all done before we close. If we have had problems all this time with our builder and they haven't been paid yet, I see no incentive for them to complete things after they have been paid!
Here is a link that might be useful: Our home sell/build blog
We did our foundation last Fall. Started building again in June. We are building 'out of pocket' so it's not going to be the normal route.
All your timelines sound great to me! :)
Realistically, I am giving us another year. We've got to at least have it shelled in for the winter...save more $$$ and onward we go! By the time we move in, we'll qualify to move into the Senior Center ;)
Good luck, all!

If she takes regular baths, i could live with everything else :P
As for Beatrix in Four Kings, eh i guess when facts are laid down, you can say that having her there isn't smart, however in new game, her being there doesn't make any difference whatsoever. In my first two new games in this game, i summoned Beatrix to Four Kings as i had no idea she would raise their HP but it didn't make them hard, i was still hacking them down fast.
However summoning her in new game+ and onwards, you might want to pass.
Actually she uses Dark magic if you have the DLC IIRC.

She could solo the entire game IMO.

I hate Square-Activision's FFXIII and its slew of cash-in spin-offs & sequels
in my experience she gets in the way and messes up my roll timing on the moonlight butterfly's heavy attack. with four kings she provides an occasional distraction for more free hits and flask windows, if a second king does spawn she'll keep it off you and if she does add more hp i didn't notice it fighting them.
She only makes the 4 kings worst, a lot worst.

Y'know, I think I won't be going for ZoukOut. My body is horrible and I am not doing anything about it. :(
I'll be missing TIESTO & GUETTA?!
Hello tammy! Just wondering, do your tummy like bulge out after you eat? How do you maintain such a flat tummy!
tammy, tung lok has dimsum buffet? mind telling me about it. like where, price and timings. thank you
Do you feel weird when you wear heels or wedges which are like 13cm? Like you're so tall and most people are shorter than you on that day?Im your height and i do :(
all of your posts are about how much youve gained weight and how fat you are now. if you want other people to get over it why don't you get over it yourself first instead of fishing for "oh tammy you're far from fat! what are you saying?!" kind of comments.
Because it's true, i've gained weight. FO REAL. Not saying it so ppl would say "no youre not fat yadayada" I MEAN IT. It's sooo obvious that i gained a lot of weight no??
hi, may i know what have you done to your nose to make it look higher ?
i didnt do anything to make it higher.
