The target is always moving. That's the problem with being in business. You can have the hot set up one day, but the competition is always improving, constantly nipping at your heels. They want what you have—market share—and more. Expectations from consumers are also constantly on the rise. Build a better mousetrap and they'll always tell you they need one for a bigger, stronger mouse.
Art Morrison Enterprises (AME) has been in the suspension business longer than some of our readers have been alive. It is a company long-known for delivering quality products that fit properly and do what they're supposed to do. The problem for AME is none of its competitors are resting on past performances either. The suspension market is one constant dogfight. What do you do?
In the case of AME, the philosophy is to keep moving the needle. Never get complacent. At the 2013 Super Chevy Suspension & Handling Challenge, presented by Nitto Tire, they brought a revised version of a car we tested in 2011. It still has its G-sport front suspension, but out back is a shiny new independent rear suspension. An IRS brings plenty of benefits to the table—obviously while one tire is getting upset by uneven pavement, the other is free to go about its business unencumbered, especially in turns. A good IRS will allow you to put more usable power to the pavement. Unlike some IRS setups, the Morrison unit uses traditional outboard brakes.
We couldn't wait to sample this car with its new rear suspension and frankly, we were not disappointed.
On The Track
For this year's Challenge, Super Chevy did things a little differently. Our "autocross" was actually a road course, The Streets of Willow, at Willow Springs International Raceway. We incorporated a five-cone, high-speed slalom that ran up the long front straight, as we didn't want horsepower to be the ultimate factor for testing, but rather how well each car got to, around, and then out of each corner. We shortened Streets by taking some of the rarely-used side roads and tight, twisty esses, ending up with about a mile of track that held some fast, some slow, and some momentum corners for me to evaluate the cars, then write about each trip behind the steering wheel. Life was really, really good that day.
For the Art Morrison Camaro, the first thing I noticed was how well the car "stuck." It absolutely didn't want to move laterally, no matter how late I braked trying for rotation, or how much I tried to play "throw and catch" for anything late-apex. This car would rotate a little, but as soon as I applied power somewhere close to the apex for track-out, the rear planted and actually "steered" to keep me wherever I wanted to be. Present the Camaro to a corner, brake and turn, smoothly apply throttle at the apex, and it's a no-fuss, no-muss exit to the next one. I couldn't get this car sideways if my life depended on it, and believe me, I tried. I pushed it past defined limits a few times to see how the suspension reacted to being pressured, and it didn't disappoint. No matter what, that "stick" stayed with the Camaro during the entire track test, and the harder I pressed, the better the car felt. So predictable, compliant, and no surprises made for good stuff here, as I really found myself enjoying the drive rather than reacting and changing driving input and track lines for things going wrong. This suspension rewards precise driving and will make heroes out of an average Joe. My only disappointment was having to return it after my five laps were done.
This was just the beginning! I realized that something was missing ... noise. Suspension noise. You know what I'm talking about, right? Those gronky, clunking sounds when tires hit bumps and potholes (and for a track, "tiger teeth" rumble strips)? Long, thick articulation squeaks during suspension loading and release? Road chatter thunks that get you wondering if stuff is loose or worse? The sort of noises that no amount of Dyna-Mat can deaden, and almost every aftermarket (and OEM) suspension has? Guess what? The Art Morrison Enterprises multi-link IRS is church mouse quiet. It's strong, too. I peeked underneath and there's serious business going on. Beefy links, arms, joints, and axles couple the Dana 60 to each rear wheel. Nothing is coming apart unless you use tools.
Lap times only tell part of a story and this applies here, too. My only complaint had nothing to do with the suspension, brakes, or steering. I wanted more ponies fromt he car's high-mileage LS1; the ones I had were spent. No amount of begging or pleading, promises of molasses-covered oats, or a high-noon flogging gave them additional life, and I'm positive several more seconds could have been shed had, say, an LS7 magically found its way under the hood. Sigh, one can only wish ...
If you want a suspension to be the end-all no matter what roads and turns you throw at it, don't balk, don't look back, and don't hesitate a lick ... just step into this "office" and enjoy the most fun road experience imaginable. It's been two weeks since I got out of the drivers seat of the AME '69 Camaro, and even with all that time to think about things, I'm still grinning like a Cheshire cat. And I'll say it now ... this is the best suspension I've ever felt underneath a car on a track. AME has done its homework, and spent the time necessary to fine-tune the aftermarket front subframe. But it's the new rear multi-link independent suspension that brings this company to the forefront. Think of how we've improved what car manufacturers thought was pretty cool back in the day? There were heavy-duty lowering leafs which begat a three-or four-link rear suspension with coilovers, which then brought out several versions of IRS. While these are good (and I've tested two or three of them), the Art Morrison Enterprises independent rear suspension hits home and there are no holes! —Mary Pozzi

The remaining Doolittle Raiders will gather in Dayton, Ohio, for a final time next month.
The revered World War II heroes will lift their goblets, sip their 117-year-old cognac and say good-bye to a decades-old tradition of gathering with their comrades to reflect on their contribution to American history.
"It's bittersweet," said Wes Fields, who lives in Destin and has served as the Raiders' security guard and escort for decades.
He will attend the toast at the National Museum of the Air Force on Nov. 9.
"You want to be involved in it, but in a sense you don't because you dread it. It's coming to an end," Fields said.

On April 18, 1942, 80 men led by Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle took off in B-25s from an aircraft carrier to bomb Japan. It was the first retaliation after Pearl Harbor, and while the physical damage to Japan was minimal the raid was a tremendous boost for morale back home.
Nearly every year since the raid, the men had gathering for a reunion —the last of which was held in Fort Walton Beach earlier this year. As part of the tradition, they hold a toast before a set of 80 goblets engraved with each Raider's name. After the toast, they overturn the goblet of any Raider who passed on that year.
Three of the remaining four Raiders — 98-year-old Lt. Col. Dick Cole, 93-year-old Lt. Col. Ed Saylor and 92-year-old Staff Sgt. David Thatcher — will attend their final toast. They will open the famed bottle of Hennessy Very Special cognac from 1896, the year Jimmy Doolittle was born.
Lt. Col. Robert Hite, 93, likely will not attend because of his health.
Only about 1,000 people have been invited. Fields, Ted Corcoran and Lyn Dominique will be among them.
"It's kind of like getting to go backstage with the Rolling Stones," Corcoran, president and CEO of the Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce, said as he sat in his office adorned with Doolittle memorabilia.
He's organized hundreds of events in his career, but his work on two local Raider visits were his favorite, he said.
Lynn Dominique of Shalimar also will be on hand. He has been a Doolittle Raider escort for years, including one time when he hopped over a barrier to push the wheelchair of a Raider who was getting left behind the group. They've become like family, sharing stories and plenty of jokes, he said.
"Getting to know these men has been one of the highlights of my life," he said.

We previously covered UK retailer Unlocked Mobiles who has the HTC 8X listed for just £399. Now we've got Amazon UK who has published the product page for the recently announced Windows Phone, and the price tag is a steep one - £531.43 (SIM-free).
We're yet to see final pricing which will be available near or after Windows Phone 8 launches and the new Apollo hardware is released to consumers, but at least we can have an idea as to what we'll be looking at in the near future. The product page also states November 8, 2012 as the release date.


text: Punk sold the elbow well enough. He's the only person who should have beef with the ending and clearly - he doesn't. Surely he will come out and bitch about losing on Raw to which the CM Marks will think is a shoot and continue to be all indignant on his behalf (gee guys, thanks for that!). Bottom line is, they told Punk, "You'll be losing to the People's Elbow tonight" to which Punk said "Sure thing". So don't go laying all the blame everywhere but with Punk. He's as equally complicit as The Rock but I'm willing to bet that that was the ending handed down from Vince and there wasn't much either man could do beyond that.

The thing is... almost all of my mom's projects have involved our entire family, bringing us closer together and gaining that hands on experience, so not only do we have a reference guide, but also real life lessons in beekeeping, sewing, and canning, just to name a few. Having grown up in this environment, I hope I've learned enough to start giving back myself.
My goal is to reach those in my peer group and encourage a homesteading lifestyle.
So this begs a question:
I believe in living in a way that is natural and compliments the surrounding environment, but I haven't always cared. While conscious of the world around me, until I was about eighteen I didn't see the point because in my mind, my lifestyle didn't directly affect it. This changed when I started thinking seriously about stewardship.
"The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. 'Master,' he said, 'you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.'
His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'"
Americans tend to think of everything in a very linear way. Life is all about going forward and never looking back. Because of this worldview, responsibility, integrity, and prudence are devalued while success at all costs is encouraged. People sacrifice health, happiness, family, friends, relationships, and valuable time striving after things that their peers deem successful. For being such a driven society, that is one vicious circle.
In anthropology there is a second, more traditional, way to view time: cyclically. Everything is part of a cycle which will come back in time. This was originally observed in days, seasons, the moon's phases, and the movement of the heavens. What was even more incredible was that those cycles moved in conjunction like the cogs of a clock.
For example, in nature these cycles can be seen in food production... the ground feeds the seed which grows into food, animals and humans eat the plants, and the seeds are spread and fertilized through excretion. Our task is to steward this cycle so it benefits all of creation (or as much of it as humanly possible).
Unfortunately, our modern systems tend to disrupt these cycles. An example would be with genetically modified seeds whose plants compost into nutrient depleted soil while killing beneficial insects that consume the plant's pollen and nectar. Yes, this cycle has been corrupted. And as stewards of the land this should be unacceptable. Homesteading is a small way to start renewing the land and redeem the cycle to bring forth a better quality food product for my family and me to eat while giving back to the cycle that produced it.
(Note: In the Bible, we see examples of both linear time and cyclical time. Both are part of God's divine order as are the cycles we see in life.)
I learn more thinking about mountains, weeds, and starry skies than I do in most of my college courses. I love wondering into unknown areas, smelling trees and fresh dirt, and jumping into lakes. Here is where I experience each part of nature as it exhibits the attributes, presence, and providence of God. And as a result homesteading enables me to stay connected to creation and my Creator.
People like my mom, Barbara Kingsolver, and Joel Salatin all express the need to simplify and renew our food culture. This is certainly helped along by the aforementioned, but it also includes a philosophy to reduce our human desire to constantly make things more complicated than necessary just because we think we can build a better mouse trap (so to speak).
Simplicity is a companion to humility. If humility is having a correct view of yourself, then simplicity is having a correct view of the world around you. This view can be obstructed by things that detract from the cycles of living and obscured by unwarranted complications. For example... genetically modifying seeds, raising cattle in CAFO situation (concentrated animal feeding operation), and our insatiable desire for everything electronic certainly isn't simple! Nor does it feel humble in any way.
I appreciate how the modern homesteading movement compliments the idea of simplicity. Centered around what is best for the family, homesteading honors and supports the institutions God set up in creating both marriage and family. It respects the cycles that God has ordained in nature. And it draws beautiful inspiration from creation.
Besides Homestead Revival, I also write on my personal blog, To Live, Not Exist. The idea behind it was to consciously choose to do things that would grow, develop, and multiply the gifts I have and to encourage others to do the same. Many of the people my age are just coasting through life, unsure of themselves and what they are supposed to be because they haven't taken the time to think about how they should invest their time.
For a long time, I've wanted to deliberately live with purpose, so I went over seas, worked at several different jobs, and started to educated myself. All of these things grew me in various ways, but it was like an adrenaline rush, suddenly there and then gone. Homesteading, and the life principles that go with it, instill a constant and steady growth which bring me peace, consistency, and joy. Whether it is learning to make my own deodorant, butchering chickens, or watching the sunrise while I work in a tomato patch, I carry on this legacy of wholeness and community, living close to the land.
It seems Mom's lifestyle has become my passion.
How blessed is the man who does not stand in the path of sinners
Or sit in the seat of scoffers,
But his delight is in the law of the Lord
And on that law he will meditate day and night.
He is like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,
Which yield its fruit in its season
His leaf does not wither.
And whatever he does he prospers.
~ Psalm 1:1-3

11/12/13 What Celebs Earn
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, November 22, 2013
MATT DAMON recently did a European ad for Nespresso with GEORGE CLOONEY. Matt was onscreen for about 20 seconds, and he was paid $3 million. That averages out to $150,000 PER SECOND. So what else could one second of Matt Damon's time get you? How about a four-year degree from UCLA?
Here's what some other celebrities' time is worth . . .
BRITNEY SPEARS was paid $15 million to be a judge on "X Factor" last season. She did 28 episodes, at 60-minutes each . . . giving her an hourly rate of $535,000. So just one hour of Britney's time could clothe KATE MIDDLETON, the Duchess of Cambridge, for over FIVE YEARS. Kate's wardrobe costs about 100-grand a year.
RIHANNA made $98,000 by just sitting in the front row of a Karl Lagerfeld runway show . . . for 30 MINUTES. So she made enough in those 30 minutes to buy three Mercedes coupes.
KHLOE KARDASHIAN makes $13,000 per sponsored Tweet. That's $98 per character. So one character in a Khloe Kardashian Tweet can buy you a dress and matching earrings from the Kardashian Kollection.
How convenient is this? CHRIS BROWN knows of a drug that would be PERFECT for his anger management problems. And it's called . . . MARIJUANA. Apparently, Chris had been taking medical marijuana for years, but a judge made him stop earlier this year and start taking more traditional antidepressants. But a source says, quote, "Those make Chris feel very numb and he felt that everything around him was fuzzy. He felt dull and thirsty all the time."
HUGH JACKMAN was treated for SKIN CANCER on his nose. He Tweeted, quote, "[My wife] said to get the mark on my nose checked. Boy, was she right! I had a basil cell carcinoma. Please don't be foolish like me. Get yourself checked. And USE sunscreen!!!" Hugh didn't say how it was treated, but he posted a picture of his bandaged nose.
RODNEY DANGERFIELD'S widow keeps a Tupperware container full of his sweat in the fridge. They started collecting it after hearing that a handkerchief with Elvis' sweat on it sold for a lot of money. She says, quote, "Rodney had a 'eureka' moment. He said, 'I sweat more than anybody! My sweat has to be as good as Elvis' sweat, right?'"
11/21/13 Chris Brown Kicked Out of Rehab
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, November 21, 2013
Sources say that KIM KARDASHIAN dropped 80-GRAND on various procedures to lose her baby weight. And KANYE WEST, whose mother died getting plastic surgery in 2007, has BANNED her from getting anything else done. But Kim denies it. She says, quote, "This is false . . . I work out so hard and this was such a challenge for me but I did it . . . no one will take this away from me with fake reports."
CHRIS BROWN didn't leave rehab willingly earlier this month. He was KICKED OUT, after throwing a rock through the window of HIS MOTHER'S CAR. His mom was there for a family counseling session, and Chris got mad because she was trying to convince him to stay for extended anger management treatment. So he freaked out and busted her car window. So Chris was hauled back into court yesterday, and the judge ordered him to enter a live-in anger management facility for 90 DAYS. He'll have to be drug-tested while he's there.
"Life & Style" magazine says that LINDSAY LOHAN suffers from achondro-plasia-phobia . . . which is the FEAR OF LITTLE PEOPLE. A so-called source say Lindsay had a major anxiety attack a few years ago when she saw two little people, and had to take a pill to calm herself down. Lindsay's rep says this isn't true, and she, quote, "loves all people."
JENNIFER LAWRENCE did some OVER-SHARING on last night's "Letterman" about a medical problem she had recently. She said, quote, "I just had this really bad pain for, like, three weeks. And you know you can only [poop] your pants so many times a day before you go to the emergency room, before you're like 'I need to go to the hospital.'"
11/20/13 Adam Levine Sexiest Man Alive
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, November 20, 2013
ADAM LEVINE has been named "People" magazine's Sexiest Man Alive. He says, quote, "As a musician, you have fantasies that you want to win Grammys, but I didn't really think that this was on the table."
KANYE WEST unveiled his new video "Bound2" on "Ellen" yesterday. It's basically just Kanye having sex with a naked KIM KARDASHIAN on a motorcycle, as they "ride" past fake backdrops. And not surprisingly, the sexual chemistry is virtually non-existent . . . which COULD all be due to the fact that Kim has no acting skills whatsoever.
On "Ellen" yesterday, KANYE WEST explained what attracted him to KIM KARDASHIAN. The fact that she has her own money was part of it. He said, quote, "[When] I was at my lowest moments I could get on the phone with her. She would make me feel like I was here for a reason and I had something to say, and just support me through that. It's incredible to have a woman . . . that is not using you for money . . . because once you become like a multi-millionaire there's a certain type of women out there that they go for that, and they'll put on the whole act and everything."
There's nobody on Earth who COULDN'T have seen this coming: Just two weeks after she turned 18, KENDALL JENNER showed off her boobies in a see-through top on Instagram.
Foot Locker has a funny new ad for their "Week of Greatness" promotion. Apparently, the Week of Greatness is SO great, that the world just seems to right itself in a variety of ways. For instance, Mike Tyson gives Evander Holyfield his ear back, Dennis Rodman buys a ONE-WAY ticket to North Korea, NBA sideline reporter Craig Sager burns all his ridiculous suits, and Brett Favre learns how to WALK AWAY.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's wine has received the honor of being named the best rose' wine in the world by Wine Spectator. The Miraval rosé retails for $28 and came in at 84 on Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines list of 2013, making it the top rosé on the globe.
11/19/13 Bieber's Wild Party
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, November 19, 2013
JUSTIN BIEBER'S party over the weekend included booze, pot and naked women. Justin hired 20, quote, "big booty strippers". Other women were taking their clothes off, too. Celebrity guests included Snoop Dogg, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Chris Brown, T.I. and Trey Songz. All the guests signed a $3 million confidentiality agreement though, so somebody might be in trouble.
A new toxicology report suggests Brittany Murphy was murdered. Brittany died in her home in December 2009, and at the time the coroner ruled that her death was caused by complications related to pneumonia and anemia. But her suspicious father, Angelo Bertolotti, recently ordered a new toxicology test and the new test reportedly detected the presence of 10 separate heavy metals in the 32-year-old's system — substances commonly associated with rat poison and insecticides. The lab report states, "The only logical explanation would be an exposure to these metals (toxins) administered by a third party perpetrator with likely criminal intent."
KANYE WEST thinks he's a genius . . . even though he can't necessarily spell the word. He says, quote, "People get mad at me saying that I am a creative genius, but it's just obvious. It's, like, factual. I would write creative genius when I go through the airport. I would put that on customs [forms], where you put what your title is, except for two reasons: it takes too long to write and sometimes I spell the word genius wrong."

ALEC BALDWIN got into confrontations with THREE paparazzi on Friday. He also pushed one guy into a car and knocked his camera out of his hand. Meanwhile, MSNBC has suspended his show.
MILEY CYRUS confirms that she lit up a real joint onstage at the "MTV Europe Music Awards", but she claims it wasn't part of some grand marketing plan. She says, quote, "I was just walking out of my room and then I was like 'Oh I have this in my bag, that will be really funny.' And I didn't say anything to anybody. I just did it mostly because I knew the fans in Amsterdam would love it and they started going crazy when I did it."
ZAC EFRON is recovering from the broken jaw he suffered during a fall in his house. ADAM SHANKMAN, who directed Zac in "Hairspray", says, quote, "I have been making him soup. He has been drinking it through his straw. He has to eat through a straw on a syringe. It's horrible." He added, quote, "He's in great spirits. He's just like, 'Oww. It hurts.'"
Police showed up at JUSTIN BIEBER'S house three times Saturday morning after a neighbor complained that he and his friends were partying too loudly. Nobody was arrested, even though cops said they smelled marijuana. But the neighbor filed a report against Justin for disturbing the peace.

IU Swimming Announces Staff Changes
Men's Swim Dive Vs Kentucky 2006
Men's Swim Dive Vs Kentucky 2006
Donny Brush is in his ninth season at Indiana and his first as associate head coach for men's and women's swimming. He spent the previous four seasons as assistant head coach for the coordination of training and student athlete development.
Brush will work as the lead coach for the women's team, focusing his efforts with the middle distance group. Brush previously concentrated his efforts on the sprint group, which posted five school records during the 2012-13 campaign.
In 2012-13 under the direction of Brush, the IU men set new school records in the 50 freestyle, 100 freestyle, 200 freestyle relay, 200 medley relay and 400 medley relay. The Hoosier men finished second at the 2013 Big Ten Championships and posted a ninth-place finish at the NCAA Championships, the highest finish for the Hoosiers since 1980.
On the women's side a total of four school records fell in 2012-13 as the squad placed second at the Big Ten Championships and 11th at the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships.
With Brush's guidance the Hoosier women won their third-straight Big Ten title in 2010-11, taking the crown in their home pool. The Hoosiers took home four individual and relay Big Ten titles and went on to earn a total of 21 All-American certificates at the NCAA Championships.
In 2009-10, Brush was part of a staff that saw the women's program win its second-straight Big Ten Championship title and third in the last four years. Kate Fesenko became the first IU female swimmer to win an NCAA individual title when she smashed the school and Big Ten record in the 200-yard backstroke. In addtion, Taylor Wohrley was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Year. On the men's side, Aaron Opell won the Big Ten title in the 200-yard breaststroke and went on to earn All-America honors in the event. Sprinter Bryan Chovanec was a runner-up in the 50-yard freestyle at Big Tens.
Todd Patrick also competed at the international level in the summer of 2007, picking up a silver medal in the 200-meter IM at the Japan International Swim Meet. He touched the wall in 2:00.59, setting a new school mark. Patrick set a new school mark in the 200-yard IM at the 2008 Big Ten Championships and went on to earn All-America honors with a third-place finish at the NCAA Championships. He set new IU records in the 200 fly and 50 free, and is ranked 17th in the world in the 200 IM. Both medley relay squads earned All-America status under Brush's watch for the third-straight year in 2008, taking fifth in the 200-yard medley in school-record time, and 10th in the 400.

Our environment today contains a lot of water, land and air pollutants. The main cause of this is that many people do not dispose their garbage in a proper and safe way. However, there are still some who really value the environment and so they devise some ways on how to care for the environment. One those ways is recycling. They recycle their used things such as bottle, can, paper, old pails and many other tools, materials and equipments.
Some people are even making use of those recycled materials in producing their own natural cleaning products. Their specific use are as containers of the produced green cleaning products. This means that there no need to buy containers anymore and that you can save a lot of money with it.
The combination of recycling and making your own natural cleaning products is highly beneficial. You can save more money, you can save your environment from some pollution, and most importantly you can save your family from the hazardous ingredients that they can get from the commercial household cleaning products. These commercial household cleaning products are really dangerous as they can cause allergies, irritations and long term diseases and illnesses.

Travel Inspiration: Romantic Paris Movies for Valentine's Day
What is it about Paris that is so damn romantic?
Is it the beautiful French language? Or is the spectacular architecture that punctuates the city – the Eiffel Tour, the Arc de Triomphe and the Louvre? Whatever the reason, Paris is one of the most romantic cities in the world and the ideal destination to spend Valentine's Day with your special loved one. Not convinced? Watch any one of these romantic movies set in Paris and I guarantee that you will be looking up flights to the City of Lights in no time.
Midnight in Paris (2011)
Even the cynical and witty Woody Allen can't help but make a romantic comedy about the whimsical nature of Paris. This 2012 Oscar Nominee for Best Picture follows Owen Wilson as he is transported back in time to Paris's literary scene circa 1920. The movie plays into the idea that "nostalgia is denial of a painful present," and Wilson soon becomes absorbed in the glory of Paris's past while his current relationship is rapidly crumbling. Highlighting Woody's style of ironic humor, this movie will nonetheless leave you with romantic visions of walking through Paris in the rain.
Amelie (Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain) (2001)
How could you not love Amelie? Quirky and cute, Amélie Poulain is an eccentric young woman who seeks to inspire love and passion amongst her friends and family. In the process, she stumbles upon a photo mystery as well as a charming love interest. Filmed in the romantic Parisian neighborhood of Montmartre, this is a touching and romantic movie with an equally amazing soundtrack.
Before Sunset (2004)
The follow-up to Before Sunrise, Ethan Hawke and the perfectly French Julie Delpy meet again after a chance encounter they had in Berlin nine years ago. As this complicated couple walks through the streets of Paris in the afternoon light, your hopeless romantic side will let loose. (Why can't they just be together?!) The movie rumor mill got itself in a twirl this fall when one of the actors let it slip that there was a possibility for a third movie. Oui, s'il vous plaît!
Paris, Je t'aime (2004)
Dear Paris, I love you. And apparently I am not the only one. Twenty short films make up Paris, Je t'aime, providing laughter and turning you red with embarrassment, all while giving you an excellent tour of Paris. My personal favorites: "Tuileries" by the Cohen Brothers starring character actor Steve Buscemi and "14 Arrondissement" the last scene in which Carol, a post office employee from Denver, tries to describe her love for Paris in horrible French.
Now that you've been inspired to travel to Paris, check out Gray Line Paris and their Paris tours, including special tours for Valentine's Day.

Need more power from your mill?
That's easy enough; just open up the bores and increase its reach. Or, just add more air and fuel-voilà! Building a potent powerplant is nothing more than adding some ingredients and stirring the pot. It isn't rocket science!
When we decided to piece together a real-world stroker mill, we chose the 383 foundation because of its simplicity, proven potential on the dyno, and overall affordability. The brunt of our labor so far has involved the machine work for our Engine Quest small-block core. The rest of our time was spent putting it all together.
Last time, we finished putting together the short-block ("Setting the Groundwork," Nov. '10). Fortifying the bottom-end is an Eagle ESP Armored forged rotating assembly that included the crankshaft, rods and pistons, along with the rings and bearings.
This month, we are finishing up the build by completing the top-end assembly. This build is far from a high-end race motor. Instead, we plan to put this gem on the street. That said, driveability needed to be key with this particular combination. To achieve this, we finished our build with a set of heavy-breathing Edelbrock E-210 aluminum cylinder heads. Our set was equipped for a hydraulic roller camshaft and came complete with oversized valves (2.08-/1.60-inch intake/exhaust). We then matched it with an RPM Air-Gap manifold to maximize low- and mid-range torque. Of course, The Air-Gap has also proven itself to carry the horsepower through the upper powerband, making it ideal for our needs.
To see how we did, we headed over to Westech Performance Center and hooked up our mill to their Superflow 902 engine dyno. We knew it wasn't going to be record breaker, but we were still impressed by the final numbers. You'll have to read on to get the complete breakdown of what it made and how we built it.
Quick Notes
What We Did
Installed a fresh set of 23-degree Edelbrock E-210 cylinder heads, RPM Air-Gap manifold, and a complete Moroso oiling system
Bottom Line
A Sherman tank for the streets
Cost (Approx)

Digital Diversity
Participate in our digital diversity campaigns. A digital diversity campaign involves various social media sites as we explore a value of multiculturalism. We use digital diversity campaigns for various topics, prompts, issues, or activities. For example, during Hunger and Homeless Awareness Week, we may tweet locations where food donations may be made. We might share (through Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, or our blog) various points of information about organizations that assist those who face food and shelter needs, or we might try to create a challenge for other organizations to join along with us to raise awareness. During various semesters, we may alter our approaches, but the common component of the Digital Diversity site is the use of digital/social media to foster an inclusive campus.
Multicultural Ambassadors Reflect!
Our Multicultural Ambassadors help with our digital initiatives. Read blogs about students' reactions to events, thoughts about cultural excursions, and their goals in our mentoring programs.

'Is Nuclear Energy Sustainable?'Event Details: 4:00 p.m., April 12, Beracha Hall
Is Nuclear Energy Sustainable?
Tuesday, April 12
Beracha Hall, room 221
During the spring 2011 semester, the Department of Facilities Services and Housing and Residence Life partnered with Ameren Missouri to host and sponsor an apartment conservation competition.
The apartment with the highest reduction in electricity for each month, compared with previous years' usage, will be entered into drawings for prizes.
In conjunction with this competition, Facilities Services, Housing and Residence Life and Ameren Missouri representatives have coordinated educational sessions for SLU students that provide the opportunity to learn outside of the classroom and hear from professionals in the energy industry.
The next education session will be held on Tuesday, April 12, 2011, on the topic of "Is Nuclear Energy Sustainable?"
The presentation and conversation will be lead by Don Koonce from Ameren Missouri who has spent more than 30 years at the Callaway Nuclear Power Plant. The presentation will also discuss Japan's nuclear crisis. This presentation begins at 4 p.m. and is being held in Beracha Hall, room 221.
Don Koonce Bio Information:
Don Koonce has spent over 30 years at the Callaway Nuclear Power Plant. In addition to many roles, Don was a licensed reactor operator for seven years. In addition to his utility experience, Don served 30 years in the Missouri Army National Guard.
Today, Don Koonce is supporting a grassroots effort to educate and engage Missourians about energy. There is an effort to secure long term low cost energy, preserve thousands of jobs and all for less than two dollars a year.
