If your memory stretches back to when the Spice Girls were hot, when eBay was used for swapping Beanie Babies, and when cars still came with cassette players, you might recall that our editor, Terry Cole, had been messing around with a much-modified, LT1-era Z28 convertible around that same time.
Among its many aftermarket accoutrements has been an ATI ProCharger-huffed stock-blocked engine. It certainly ran well, but a few too many overly enthusiastic commutes to the office took their toll. Awhile back, the head gaskets went the way of Macarena--downward.
Tired of mopping up the puddles on the garage floor, Mr. Cole decided to have the small-block rebuilt--and in the true hot-rodding spirit, he followed the if-it-blows-up, rebuild-it-bigger mantra. The question then arose: where do you go with a combination that already was supercharged?
The answer was pretty easy: keep the supercharger and add more displacement. With that, the Camaro project was reborn. Here are the points to the basic plan:
* Yank the worn-out factory 350.
* Replace the engine with a 383ci short-block from Scoggin-Dickey.* Install one of Pace Performance Warehouse's LT4 conversion kits (heads, intake, etc.).
* Bolt-on a new ATI ProCharger P-1SC supercharger and intercooler system.
* Run the combination on an engine dyno in both normally aspirated and supercharged configurations.
* Shove the works back into the Camaro and run it on a chassis.
* Sweet talk Flint, Michigan's Hardcore Racing into doing all the work and dyno tuning.
* Bring the car home and reintroduce it to neighbors who had thought they'd seen and heard the last of that "damn white Camaro."
As is the case with all projects of this magnitude, logistics were more difficult than collecting the parts for the job. The project would require an extended stay at the host shop while all the work was performed. It would also require some expertise in engine building and dyno tuning.
The basics
Dropping the old engine out of the car wasn't a chore. The engine was then removed from the crossmember, as some of the parts would be needed on the assembly of the new engine.
Rather than build a 383 from the original 350, we let our fingers do the walking and ordered a 383 short-block assembly from Scoggin-Dickey Parts Center (SDPC). The engine was one of its custom-built kits, rather than one of the GM Performance Parts assemblies with which it is more commonly associated. We elected the custom engine, as it features more heavy-duty components that we knew our supercharged combination would need.
Some of the parts in the 383 short-block include splayed four-bolt mains, a Lunati 4340 forged crank, and Lunati Pro Mod 5.850-inch rods. The rotating assembly also is internally balanced. There was an issue, however, when the short-block arrived at Hardcore Racing--it was equipped with Scoggin-Dickey's spec 10.4:1 pistons. That would be too much squeeze for our supercharged aspirations. "No sweat," Hardcore's Eric von Hentschel told us. "We'll pop them out and slip in some low-compression pistons." Von Hentschel handled all of the engine work for this project.
LT4 on top
Riding atop our 383 will be a complete LT4 conversion kit from Pace Performance Warehouse--at least, all the parts that would jive with our 383 and supercharger. This kit, which sells for about $2,400, is a terrific way to get optimal performance from a stock-type LT1 engine. The kit is based, of course, on the LT4 engines found in a couple of limited-edition '96 Corvette models. The upgrades include the famed higher-lift "Hot" camshaft, 1.6-ratio roller rockers, high-flow aluminum cylinder heads, springs, and an instantly recognizable red-painted intake manifold with raised intake runners. The LT4 kit also requires a new throttle body and computer reprogramming, but on an otherwise stock LT1, it's good for about 425 hp--a 50-horse jump over early LT1 output. Think about that for a moment: factory-matched heads, intake, cam, and all the details that go with the swap for about $2,400. That's a hard deal to beat.
On our supercharged 383, we are hoping to make the most of the LT4's increased airflow characteristics to help flow more pressurized air through the engine. As was the case with the 383 short-block, a few changes were required to accommodate the supercharger and large-displacement specs of the engine. For one thing, the camshaft was swapped for something more appropriate for the blower with a wider lobe separation. That required some valvespring mods, too--all of which were handled by Crane Cams.
The blower and beyond
With explosive performance generated by the ATI ProCharger on the original 350 engine, we decided to keep on keeping on with a ProCharger. For this project, a P-1SC blower and two-core intercooler system were chosen. The system should make 8-12 pounds of boost, while allowing the engine to be tuned for pump gas. Installing the supercharger will be a multifaceted affair, as it will be temporarily installed on Hardcore Racing's engine dyno for preliminary testing, then disassembled while the engine is hoisted back into the Camaro. All that will be covered in the next installment of this build-up series. On these pages, you'll see how the old engine was removed and the new 383 was built up just prior to the supercharger's installation.
Yes, it's kind of a tease, but if you want to know what a fresh, 383-cube LT1 runs after being topped off with an LT4 kit and force-fed from a ProCharger P-1SC, you'll have to wait until the next issue. We've seen the dyno numbers already. Believe us, you'll want to check them out.

Coach Tomlin's Post-Game CommentsPosted by on December 30, 2012 – 4:40 pm
Coach Tomlin: It was good to finish on a positive note here in 2012, particularly the way we knuckled-up in the second half as a team. We were short in some areas. We had five healthy offensive linemen and two healthy corners. Those guys knuckled-up and delivered. It's a good winning note for us and a good team effort. On the injury front, Keenan Lewis re-injured his knee. He's getting it examined. The same thing for [Brett] Keisel, it's probably an MCL but we're getting that examined. [David] DeCastro has a stinger and Kelvin Beachum had a concussion.
Re: CB Cortez Allen stepping up the last few weeks:
He really hasn't had an option. He's playing every snap on defense and he's a young guy who's arrow is pointed up. He did a nice job getting some turnovers for us. Of course, we haven't gotten as many of those as we'd like. He has helped us, not only today but last week as well.
Re: Team's performance in the second half:
We just continued to play hard and put forth effort. We got a few turnovers there, capitalized, put seven points on the board as opposed to field goals. It was critical for us.
Can you describe the touchdown to WR Plaxico Burress, and do you think he has a future with this team?
We'll deal with next year next year. I appreciate his efforts today. Obviously, he's an easy target in that area. We knew that he would have an opportunity to contribute there. We focused a lot of our efforts there. It was good for him to make that play for us.
How is QB Ben Roethlisberger feeling?
Re: Thoughts about this group of players and what you went through this season:
Obviously, we've experienced some professional disappointment in the big picture. But in the small picture we had a game to play today and a game to prepare for today and win. I liked the efforts. I'll wrap the bow around 2012 a little bit tomorrow.
Can that be momentum, using this win to move forward?
No, because this year is this year and next year is next year. But it is good to finish on a positive note and to finish with the arrow pointed up. Hopefully, for individuals it can be something to build upon going into the offseason.

Somebody out there is $200,000 richer thanks to the New York State Lottery. The question is, who? The fact of the matter is, if you bought a Powerball ticket at the Sag Harbor 7-Eleven within the last few weeks you may be getting an early Christmas present this year.
According to 7-Eleven manager Saqib Hameed the New York State Lottery informed the staff on Thursday, December 2 that a second prize Powerball ticket was purchased at the store. The winner has yet to come forward.
"I love it," said Hameed about having a winner from his store. "I hope they're from the Sag Harbor area, we want it to be someone from here. That's what it's all about."
For $1, a person can play Powerball by selecting five numbers out of a set of 59 (represented by white balls during the drawing) plus a "Powerball" number (selected from a set of 39 red balls on drawing night) and filling those numbers in on a play card at a lottery retailer. The computer can also randomly select the numbers for a player with the "Quick Picks" option.
To win the jackpot, all five numbers plus the Powerball number must match the winning six numbers drawn. If the jackpot is not won, the prize pool money is carried forward and added to the next Powerball jackpot. The second prize (in this case, $200,000) is won when all five numbers match but the Powerball number does not. Prizes continue to ninth place with an average $3 pay out. Jackpot drawings are held twice a week on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Though the lotto folks would not say what time or day the winning ticket was purchased and exactly which drawing the ticket won for, it would seem the Wednesday, December 1 drawing is a good bet since the lottery called the store the following day to inform staff they had a winner for that week and only one drawing has taken place by that time.
When asked how many people play Powerball at the Sag Harbor store, Hameed answered with, "What's the population of the town?"
With 1,500 Powerball tickets sold weekly at the Sag Harbor 7-Eleven and the Sag Harbor population being around 2,500, Hamid isn't actually too far off.
This is the second time a major payoff has come from the Sag Harbor 7-Eleven. The first instance was in 2003 when a summer resident won $30,000. Lesser prizes are won "on and off," according to Hameed with pay outs between a few dollars and a few hundred dollars.
But there is always the possibility that the lucky winner will never be known locally. When the prize money is over $500, the winner has to claim their winnings directly through the New York State Lottery, not through the store where the ticket was purchased.
"It's not uncommon for winners to go unknown," says Debbie Edwards, a business consultant for 7-Eleven stores. "Some people buy tickets and don't know where they put them and some don't want to be known."
As it turns out, the Sag Harbor 7-Eleven is not the only lucky store on the East End. A Westhampton 7-Eleven has had two major winners in the past few years. In April of 2010 a Westhampton man won a $250,000 grand prize from an instant game ticket and a Westhampton woman won $3 million dollars in scratch off game in March of 2008.
"This time of year, everyone needs a little extra money," says Edwards, "Why not give it a shot?"

The recent contretemps over actress Scarlett Johansson's work for an Israeli company, partly based in an Israeli settlement in the West Bank, highlights the growing international movement to pressure Israel economically to end its occupation. But it also highlights the need for American progressives to speak more clearly and explicitly about the policy outcome they'd like to see.
Two weeks ago, when Al Jazeera America initially covered the increasing criticism over Johansson's agreeing to become "brand ambassador" for the Israeli company SodaStream, which has a factory in the settlement of Ma'ale Adumim near Jerusalem, it was mocked as a "puny controversy." Johansson "is apparently a huge fan of SodaStream's product and will star in the company's upcoming Super Bowl ad," the Daily Beast's Nina Strochlic wrote, "no matter what those four people on Twitter say."
Within two weeks, however, the issue had grown, according to a Reuters headline, into a "Super Bowl-sized controversy," with Johansson resigning from her role as Global Ambassador for international anti-poverty NGO, Oxfam, which said that her work with them was "incompatible" with her work for SodaStream. "Oxfam believes that businesses, such as SodaStream, that operate in settlements, further the ongoing poverty and denial of rights of the Palestinian communities that we work to support," said the group in a statement.*
It's not saying much to suggest that this story turned out to be more interesting than the actual Super Bowl, but the story highlights a few important things. First is the growing international campaign, known collectively as BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions), to economically pressure Israel to end its occupation and reach an agreed outcome with the Palestinians. While the movement remains officially agnostic on what that outcome should be—one state or two—prominent BDS advocates such as Ali Abunimah and Omar Barghouti have made clear that they support the creation of a single state on all the land Israel currently occupies.
Second, it revealed an interesting confluence of arguments between some BDS advocates and hardline pro-Israel supporters. Both groups have seemed intent on making Israel's legitimacy, not its policies of occupation and settlement, the issue. In its statement concerning the end of its relationship with Johansson, Oxfam made clear that its concerns were with the settlements' illegality, not with Israel's legitimacy. Yet many BDS advocates and hardline pro-Israel supporters have responded as if the latter is what is really at issue.
Speaking on a conference call organized by the conservative Israel Project, SodaStream CEO Daniel Birnbaum rejected that explanation, saying, "Oxfam has joined the BDS in this movement," and claimed, without evidence, that Oxfam has contributed financially to BDS organizations—a charge Oxfam denied. The Israel Project also launched a "Thank Scarlett" campaign on Twitter, with a photo-shopped picture featuring Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Palestinian President Abbas sharing a soda with Johansson. (The fact that Abbas himself supports settlement boycotts was, understandably, left unmentioned.)
One wonders how Johansson herself might react to having inadvertently become "the new poster girl for Israel," as Israeli journalist Mairav Zonszein noted. "Or more accurately, for those who blindly cheer Israel and have no criticism of the myriad of human rights violations that come with occupation." For Zonszein's colleague at Israel's 972 Magazine, Noam Sheizaf, the controversy clarified "the difference between opposing the settlements and 'opposing' the settlements"—between those who genuinely believe that the settlements represent a problem, and those who say they do but oppose any meaningful steps to stop them.
I think the controversy, and by the broader debate about BDS, highlights something else: The opportunity and necessity for progressives to state clearly where they stand with regard to Israel's legitimacy, Palestinian rights, and the two-state solution.
I recognize that those who identify as progressive will have a range of views on U.S. policy toward Israel and Palestine. If there's one thing that progressives should be able to agree on, however, it's that ending the occupation, now nearing its 48th year, is a moral imperative. While I recognize the value in focusing, as the BDS movement does, on a rights-based discourse (as a young Palestinian activist memorably put it to me several years ago, "I'm tired of arguing about land. I want my rights"—regardless of what country's name was on the passport.) I don't think those who advocate particular policies can justify being agnostic about the goal we're trying to reach.
It seems to me that there's a sort of symmetry between the arguments of many BDS advocates and hardline pro-Israel supporters, with the former advocating pressure tactics without endorsing any particular outcome and the latter insisting that they favor a particular outcome (a two-state solution) while opposing all pressure to reach it. But I think for those who want a particular policy to succeed, we need to be specific about what that policy goal is.
I'm not trying to draw a moral equivalence here. There's no moral equivalence between those trying to end the occupation and those seeking to justify it. But I think people should put their cards on the table. Here are mine: I think the two-state solution, while considerably difficult to achieve at this point, is the least-worst option available right now. Even if we grant that a single secular, democratic bi-national state is a more just outcome (Harry Truman believed it was, as The New Republic's John Judis shows in his new book) the possibility of achieving such an outcome is almost nil. And I cannot get behind a policy that would almost certainly consign both peoples, Jews and Palestinians, to an interim of violence in the hope that we'll come out at the other end with a new single state.
To this end, I think it's entirely defensible and necessary to support efforts to create economic pressure against the occupation and the settlements enterprise that it facilitates. The U.S. government itself regularly declares the settlements "illegitimate," so I see no problem with affirming that through collective, non-violent action. As Israeli journalist Bernie Avishai recently wrote, "Boycotting companies operating in the settlements is not the same as boycotting 'Israel.'" This is a distinction that cannot be made enough.
Secretary of State John Kerry has warned Israeli leaders repeatedly about the rising tide of economic isolation that could come if this round of peace talks fails, and Israel continues to be seen as frustrating Palestinian aspirations. With Denmark's biggest bank, Danske Bank, announcing earlier this week that it would no longer do business with Israel's biggest bank, Bank Hapoalim, over the latter's financing of settlements, those warnings are already coming to pass. Like the European Union's announcement last summer of new guidelines prohibiting funding of Israeli organizations located in the occupied territories, these represent long-overdue steps to exact costs for an occupation that has continued for far too long. The aggressiveness of the debate—which is pretty pitched even on its best days—will only increase as the pressure increases. I think a responsible progressive position—which balances values with what is practically achievable—is one that marshals those pressures toward an end to the occupation and the creation of a Palestinian state in its place, alongside Israel.
Addendum: *Several days later, SodaStream produced evidence that Oxfam has supported the Israel-based Coalition of Women for Peace, which supports BDS toward the goal of a two-state solution. Oxfam responded : "Oxfam funds Palestinian and Israeli civil society organizations on projects to reduce poverty and address injustice. We value the independence of our partners and we do not expect our grantees to agree with us on all policy issues. We do not provide our partners with funding for promotion of the BDS movement, or activities that call for the boycott of Israel."

The occupation of Ireland by the British was several hundred years long. The bad feelings of both sides have subsided but not really resolved themselves. Even if Israel acquiesced to all the demands made on it the creation of a Palestinian state will not resolve the emotional resentments and the intense anti-Jewish/Israeli attitudes that have been generated since 1948 on the part of Palestinians. When you look around the Middle East what you see there are nations that are wholly Muslim fighting with other Muslims for who will be top dog. How much more venom will be generated, ironically, by the creation of a state for the Palestinians, who would now feel, in spite of having gained their own "place," that they were cheated in not getting it all -- especially if no change in what they teach their children or what they promise to the Israelis isn't consonant with what they believe in their heart of hearts: namely, that the land was stolen from them (in spite of the fact that the Arab/Muslims got 90% of the Palestinian Mandate and created several Arab states from it.) It still takes two parties to create peace and thus far I have seen nothing to convince me that this is the desired end desired by the Palestinians, rather than "having it all" one way or another. Two states, even if achieved, will not mean peace. The only people who think so are the ones who have nothing to lose when the two states mean more war -- now between two states. Hardly progress -- that will take a change of heart. I'm not holding my breath and neither should the world.

So based on past history we should do nothing because the Palestinians will be even more upset over being cheated this long? What does this idea accomplish? Should the Civil War have been skipped because the South would have felt cheated out of their slaves? Your logic smacks of grasping at straws. Israel coming to the negotiating table honestly is long overdue. At that point, if the Palestinians don't negotiate in good faith, then Israel can say "see, history proves us right." Until, and if that happens, Israel owes the rest of the world a chance at peace in the Middle East.

I agree that progressives should wish to see an end of the settlements and the occupation. That said, I disagree that the targets of BDS should merely be the businesses operating in the settlements -- or even all businesses connected to or supporting the occupation or the settlements.
The target should be the decision makers, namely, in Israeli democracy, the entire society -- all businesses and institutions in Israel. My reasosn are stated here .

I object to a one-sided view that claims that only Israel occupies land illegitimately through military conquest. After the 1948 war, Jordan expelled Jews from the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem, which is now termed "Arab East Jerusalem" -- but for which which the Jewish presence had been a historical fact for centuries. Contested areas in the West Bank like Hebron equally had Jews expelled, despite British deeds to the land. The relative length of time of Ottoman scrip for land ownership ought to be contested, as Jews were forbidden to own land in that Turkish empire. The re-conquest of the West Bank in 1967 might not be seen as "legitimate" by some; but it is just as legitimate as Jordan's conquest in 1948. The contested areas for a Palestinian state have been occupied by both Arabs and Jews. The creation of a Palestinian state in a two-state solution should be seen as a matter of simple fairness, for people misinformed and manipulated to abandon their land, to provide a homeland for refugees -- both Palestinian and Israeli -- whom none of their neighbors would take in as citizens, in a time of upheaval and need.
We see with Syria yet a more recent example of refugees segregated into camps -- fleeing their homeland, yet unaccepted by their hosts. Can we afford another half century of another people placed in limbo, without assets, without skills, and without a future?

The author suggests progressives need to "state clearly where they stand with regard to Israel's legitimacy." Rubbish!
Are there really ANY progressives out there who actually deny Israel's legitimacy?
The question is not whether Israel is legitimate but whether Israel's behavior is legitimate. Is it legitimate for Israel to continue to steal land from the Palestinians who've owned it for centuries? Is it legitimate for Israel to treat Palestinians much as blacks were treated in Apartheid South Africa?
Fri, 2014-02-07 19:55
There is one, and only one, just solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict: the replacement of the Zionist settler state of Israel with a secular, democratic state encompassing ALL of historic Palestine, which is ruled by its Arab majority and respects the rights of its European minority. The world's acceptance of Israel's creation as a so-called "Jewish state" in 1948, largely as an atonement for having done so little to stop the Holocaust, is a classic example of the proverb that two wrongs don't make a right. Just as the only just way to end apartheid in South Africa was to reject the Bantustans and demand a single, unified South Africa under majority rule, the only just way to settle the Palestine question is through negotiations to end the Zionist squatter state and replace it with a single democratic Palestine. Any validity, or even possibility, of a "two-state solution" ended long ago; and it was the settlers, supported at every turn by every government of Israel regardless of party, who created the "facts on the ground" that ended it.
Sat, 2014-02-08 13:38
You say two wrongs don't make a right. Wouldn't your "solution" throw Israel out of the land that was given to them (I am talking about the original birders of Israel, not the land they've stolen from Palestinians) and create another wrong which would not make a right?

Now she's in Boston beating up anti-Semites.
The woman does have a mark on her arm to prove she was held in a concentration camp. So she may be being honest, or she just knows a good tattoo artist.
With so many asylum patients claiming they didn't kill their families and fabricating false stories (more on that later), it's hard to tell who is telling the truth.
For Anne Frank, Briarcliff Manor may be an upgrade to Auschwitz, but it's a dangerous place with Dr. Arden running around.
The patient claiming to be Anne Frank outs Dr. Arden as a former Nazi. She says he would flip a coin to determine which girls to "treat" in Auschwitz. Then he would bring them back to camp poisoned.
Sounds like the lovable, great humanitarian Dr. Arden that we've come to know.
Adding to the evidence of Arden's criminal activity, the call girl he nearly killed reports him to the authorities.
The poor doctor has to take time away from dismembering Shelley to defend his reputation to two homicide detectives.
"This is utter hogwash," Arden says before walking away. "I have no idea what I'm even being accused of."
That response seems to satisfy the detectives, who were probably in a rush to get back to their homes in time to catch the newest episode of "Bewitched."
No need to check the forest full of man-eating zombies or the store room hiding a patient who looks as if her face were dipped in acid.
Speaking of which, Shelly's days as our favorite nymphomaniac are numbered.
Nobody in the asylum seems to care where she is, or even notices she's missing. Every time Dr. Arden touches her, she becomes less human.
"Am I gonna die?" Shelley asks the doctor.
"Not exactly," says Arden. "As a matter of fact, after this, you'll probably live forever."
Inside man
Dr. Arden being a Nazi isn't surprising, but it comes as a revelation for Sister Jude, who confronts Monsignor Timothy Howard about Dr. Arden's possible Nazi involvement.
Sister Jude finally has something other than hatred to pit against Arden, but the monsignor doesn't bite on the nun's attempt to rid her asylum of the doctor.
"Sister, this obsession with Dr. Arden has to stop…You'd rather see Nazi war criminals in our midst than look in the mirror," Howard says, pointing out her drunken incident during movie night.
Sister Jude leaves the room and we find out that Howard and Arden are in cahoots.

What's up with that "coding with conscience" motto anyway?
A little backstory. When I was quite young I got a job working at a golf course. I saved up my funds and bought my first computer, an Apple II. Since there wasn't a whole lot of software available, and frankly after spending every penny on the computer, there was nothing to do but write my own software. Thus began my career in software development. Sure, I started with "Hello World!" But my projects quickly became much more complex. From the very beginning I wanted to find useful software to write, and through a very long career I've developed all kinds of software, for all kinds of organizations. But I really hoped to leave my mark on technology and the community with my strongest skill – developing technologies.
Fast forward a few decades. I've worked on quite a few professional projects, including working on one of the biggest, most well know software applications on the planet. Working on that application changed my life in many good ways. But none more than re-firing my desire to develop technologies that have a positive effect on communities. Some day, I'll explain what that application is, and what happened to influence my desire to develop technologies to help people. But for now, I'll say it's inspired me to think much more about the technologies we develop, the positive and negative impact of those technologies, and the role that technology plays in the larger scheme of things.
Hopefully as some of the project roll out of here, what we're trying to achieve will be more clear. And maybe, if we're lucky, we'll inspire others to "code with conscience" too.

Reviews for Italian Basil Pasta Salad
Sort By :
"This was very good and will make it again. I put it together the night before and added the dressing and mozzarella right before I served it."
"This was so easy to make and I did it the day before and just added the dressing before serving and it was delicious - it will be one of my go to recipes"
"I was hoping this would be an amazing go to pasta salad recipe. It fell a little flat. I made exactly as written, using fresh produce (alot right from my garden.) I appreciated the variety of textures and flavors...the salami, the cheese, fresh basil among the highlights. The dressing was light and tangy, and great for an outdoor venue (we had a potluck in the summer outdoors, nice to have a non-mayo based dish.) But I wasn't wowed, and neither were most of my guests."
"Very tasty! Didn't have fresh basil or banana rings so used dried basil and a few small pieces of cut up pepperchini. Everyone loved it!"
"Super salad. Thank you TimBoy (May 28, 2011) for the link for recipe conversions though because the original recipe serves 18 and my husband doesn't really appreciate leftovers. I reduced the recipe by 1/3rd and still have enough for lunch today. This salad was our main dish for dinner last night with a side of creamy clam chowder. Lovely meal. We have a monthly meal with 5 other couples so I'll definitely take this salad next time and keep it in mind for church suppers."

NICEVILLE — Northwest Florida lawmakers on Wednesday issued scathing rebukes of Okaloosa County commissioners and top county management for their roles in the recent Tourist Development Council fraud scandal.
More than 200 people crowded into the Niceville Community Center to hear the local legislative delegation — Rep. Matt Gaetz, Senate President Don Gaetz, Rep. Doug Broxson and Sen. Greg Evers — question the Florida Auditor General's Office about its sweeping review of the County Commission and the TDC. Sheriff Larry Ashley also updated the delegation on the ongoing criminal investigation.
"Absolutely, this was not one person's doing," Deputy Auditor General Ted Sauerbeck told the delegation when asked to characterize the audit findings. "The Board of County Commissioners, Clerk of Court and the TDC collectively did not exhibit adequate controls. … This is certainly one of the worst cases we've seen … from start to finish."
Read a copy of the auditor's report. >>
The meeting marked the first time state lawmakers have publicly questioned the Auditor General's Office and county officials about the misuse of millions in bed tax dollars and BP grants. The audit focused on the two-year period from May 2010 to May 2012. Ashley requested the audit in May 2012 after county officials discovered an extensive fraud scheme put in place by former tourism head Mark Bellinger.
Ken Danley, the audit team's leader, summarized each of the 25 findings for the delegation and took questions throughout the meeting, which lasted more than two hours. He said the deficiencies found within the county's financial controls are "about as significant as we've ever seen."
Danley reminded the board that the auditor general would return in 18 months to determine whether the county has followed through on its corrective action plan. That evaluation is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2014.
During the presentation, Matt Gaetz and Don Gaetz repeatedly asked for the names of the county attorneys, employees and other officials responsible for approving the numerous checks, invoices, payments and other expenditures flagged as questionable and unlawful in the audit. The contracts the county had with two advertising firms, Lewis Communications and the Zimmerman Agency, also came under fire.
"There's some lawyer who wrote these contracts that you told us violate the law," Matt Gaetz said. He added that he wants to know if that attorney was still employed by the county.
Danley deferred the question to the county, which was represented at the meeting by Commissioner Nathan Boyles. Matt Gaetz told the audience he had issued an invitation to Commission Chairman Don Amunds to attend the meeting but did not receive a response.
Matt Gaetz also demanded to know which county employee issued Bellinger the check for the money that was used to pay for a Porsche in September 2010.
"Who cut that check for the Porsche? … Do we know the human being who did it?" he asked.
Matt Gaetz also asked for a list of the 46 people the auditor general found to have misused more than $6,300 in promotional debit cards on items that included furniture, lodging, food, tips, entertainment, alcoholic beverages, gas and sales tax. Danley said the county has the list of those people.

Florida First District Congressman Jeff Miller was one of 167 House members who thought it better to fly off the "fiscal cliff" than support a last-minute bailout negotiated by the Senate.
"I thought it was a terrible package the Senate sent to the House," Miller said Wednesday after Tuesday night's House vote. "They jammed us with this and turned around and went home."
Miller joined most of Florida's congressional Republicans in voting against the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, a package of spending cuts and tax hikes expected to raise federal revenues by $600 billion.
They wound up on the losing end of a 257-167 vote that prevented the nation from tumbling over the oft-discussed cliff.
While Miller applauded the extension of George W. Bush-era tax cuts for most of the population, he criticized the bill's allowing taxes to increase for Americans who earn $400,000 or more.
"No one wanted taxes to go up on anybody, but the president clearly made those successful in business out to be the bad guy. I was appalled to see his press conference where people actually cheered the tax hikes," Miller said. "He's made job creators and successful business people the enemy."
Miller also noted that the bill will add $4 trillion to the national debt, is chock full of pork and does nothing to ease his constituents' worries about deep cuts to military spending through sequestration.
"Sequestration was postponed for 60 days, but it's still coming," he said. "Unfortunately, this administration has had a year to prepare for it … all year long the administration did not think sequestration would kick in. Now they've got two months to figure something out."
Sequestration, a deal hammered out at the time a congressional "super committee" was formed to find ways to cut national spending, would require the military to scale back spending by $500 billion over 10 years.
Had the bill not been passed, sequestration would have been triggered Wednesday.
The billions of dollars in sequestration cuts would come on top of already planned reductions in military spending. Among the many missions that could be on the chopping block is the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program.
The F-35's testing and evaluation is done at Eglin Air Force Base.
Miller said he has begun to wonder if sequestration might be one way to force the federal government's hand to cut spending.
"That may be the only way cuts can be made," he said. "That may be the only way we can make them."
Miller acknowledged that with passage of the fiscal cliff bill, 77 percent of Americans will see more money taken out of their checks each month because of the expiration of a cut in the payroll tax.
And while the bill does make Bush-era tax cuts permanent and positively impacts "a large swath of people," Miller said he fears a "huge negative impact" on small business owners.
Republican lawmakers were able to remove language inserted by Barack Obama into the bill that would have raised congressional salaries, Miller said.
He called the debate on the bill "very philosophical." Some Republicans voted for it to salvage the tax cuts, Miller said. "I felt like we lost some of our best leverage with the White House. I think we squandered a great opportunity."
While Miller, the chairman of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee, voted against the Taxpayer Relief Act, the man who appointed him, House Speaker John Boehner, voted for the measure.
There was no pressure applied to have House members vote one way or another, Miller said.
"The leadership let the legislators vote their conscience," he said.

Midi Scuba Skirt
Style # 227390
A classic pencil silhouette gets a modern makeover in this bebe midi skirt, featuring an ocean print and a scuba-inspired fabric that is comfortable and discreet.
- 92% Nylon, 8% spandex
- Imported
- Center back to hem: 26" (66 cm)
- Model is 5'10" and wears a US size S
Rated 5 out of 5�by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Acutegrl Beautiful Skirt The print is just as pretty in person as it is online and the colors are just as vibrant. I would say this skirt runs a little large, so you might want to size down from your usual Bebe size. The fabric is lightweight and has just the right amount of stretch to it. Even, as form fitting as it is, the skirt is easy to move around in and is comfortable. I plan to pair this skirt with the white wrap around crop top. I can't wait to wear this skirt on my upcoming vacation. July 17, 2014

There's a multitude of ways to build a performance machine, but at the core of the whole enterprise we all want the same thing: to get the most out of what we have. In fact, you can boil down what we want our combos to be in one word, optimized. The dictionary defines it as: "To make something function at its best or most effectively, or use something to its best advantage." Good word, eh? In fact, it's a word that came up frequently during our recent discussion with Chris Alston, proprietor of Chassiworks and maker of the VariShock line of adjustable shock absorbers. We set out to explore single-adjustable versus double-adjustable shocks and also touch on why both of them far outclass nonadjustable shocks when it comes to optimizing a performance automobile.
What Does A Shock Absorber Do?Dissertations have been written on the subject, but the answer is actually pretty simple. In short, shocks absorbers control how the suspension works. While springs hold up the car, supporting its weight, shock absorbers damp the oscillations that occur as the springs move up and down. They never totally remove the oscillations, but in more simple terms, shocks control the bounce that springs would normally exhibit.
What's Wrong With Regular Old Shocks?We admit that this is something of a strawman argument, but since plenty of people buy traditional nonadjustable shocks, we felt like it was worth tackling. The bottom line is that an off-the-shelf, nonadjustable shock has the wrong damping for your car-period. Actually, there's one exception to this rule. If you've got a totally stock machine with everything in perfect working order, just as it rolled off the assembly line, and you buy a shock made for this arrangement, you're probably in decent shape. But how many of us are dealing with totally bone-stock setups?
Anything that has an effect on the suspension means the shock damping is wrong-bigger tires, more powerful brakes, lowering the vehicle, changing air pressure in the tire, literally anything-including changes in driver style. As soon as you change it, the shock is wrong. Of course that sort of belies the point, because in this arena, most of us as dealing with nonstock setups of one type or another, and we're more than likely driving our classics far beyond what their creators ever imagined.
The number of variables is extensive, and choosing the right nonadjustable shock for any of these many combos is damn near impossible. "If I could guess what your valving should be," quipped Alston, "I'd quit making shocks and buy Lotto tickets."
The bottom line? Anything that changes or affects the suspension means the system isn't optimized. And remember, optimized is what we all want.

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Asylum
Apologies in advance if this is a bit blokeish, but we quite liked this online magazine "for all mankind" we stumbled across.
It's unashamedly for men, and without any of the highbrow posturing and pretence you get from some other magazines that tell us what fellas need is a version of Cosmo with a bit of testosterone clumsily thrown in (if you'll pardon the expression). It's not. We're quite simple creatures, so give us some simple entertainment.
Nope, at www.asylum.co.uk you'll find funny videos and weird and wonderful stories from all corners of the online world. Pretty much everything has a tongue firmly planted in its cheek and, as is often the case, the comments are where some of the real fun lies. It's amazing how upset people can get about things, isn't it?
We love the random nature of some of the posts and this is fast becoming a favourite time waster here at Pocket-lint Towers.

Net-a-Porter's Runway by Designer a new way to shop
Net-a-Porter has a new feature called Runway by Designer that's basically like being able to click and shop on Style.com. You pick a designer's runway, like Burberry Prorsum above, and Net-a-Porter gives you pictures of the looks they have for sale. Not only can you just click to get the shoes or outfit you want, but you also get a nice little rundown on the designer's trends of the season. For instance you can read about Christopher Bailey's tough-chic collection and advice to accessories with hard-edged extras when you buy the patent leather coat, $5,225, at far left and register for an update when the sandals come in stock. If you've got the budget, this could revolutionize how you shop the runway.

I have an unRaid server at home that I also have hosting a LogMeIn Hamachi VPN. I've been able to access all the various subfolders on my server from my OSX laptop while at work (or just remotely in general), but I'm having issues doing the same with my Windows 7 desktop machine (also at work).
I can access the majority of the folders on the server, but for some reason random folders are not accessible. I get the message "Windows cannot access \\MEDIASERVER\Documents\My Documents\Random_Folder"
Oddly enough this only seems to be the case with the Documents user share (I can also see the "TV Shows" and "Movies" shares that are on my server, but I only have the Documents share mounted since I'm using it as a remote backup & sync across all my machines). There are no differences about the security settings for the different shares, so I assume this is something on the Windows side.
I have no issue accessing these folders on my two Windows 7 machines at home (which are on the LAN).
I'm sure more information is needed to help me troubleshoot this so let me know what to provide.

Recently, we were invited to attend an early preview of the '08 Corvette, staged during the 10th Annual C5/C6 Registry Birthday Bash. The Bash was held at the National Corvette Museum, just across the street from the Bowling Green Corvette assembly plant. Our preview included a one-hour drive in a six-speed automatic coupe with Vehicle Line Executive Tom Wallace. Wallace briefed us on the car's many changes during our spirited romp through the Kentucky countryside. Later, we drove a black manual-trans coupe accompanied by Mark Gardner, an industrial engineer at the Corvette plant.
Aside from a variety of new wheel designs, our first walk around the new car offered no obvious clues as to the extent of the changes for '08. On the road, however, the first thing we noticed was the improved throttle response from the larger, 6.2-liter (376ci) LS3 engine. This engine produces 430 horsepower at 5,900 rpm and 424 lb-ft of torque at 4,600 rpm in base trim.
The car we drove was also equipped with the optional NPP dual-mode exhaust, which adds 6 hp and 4 lb-ft to that total. It retains the 2.5-inch pipes from the '07 model, but includes new, vacuum-operated mufflers similar to the ones on the Z06. At wide-open throttle, the two inboard pipes open. The system makes a robust, throaty sound under power but remains quiet during normal driving.
The six-speed automatic provided very crisp shifts compared with the last '07 we drove. According to Wallace, the transmission has been improved with new hardware and controller calibrations that deliver quicker responses. This translates into 30 percent faster upshifts and 50 to 75 percent faster downshifts. Wallace also told us the car we were driving had the new-for-'08 2.73 performance axle ratio. This ratio will be available on all automatic cars (a 2.56 axle is standard) and included on automatics equipped with the Z51 package.
We noticed a much more direct feel in the steering as we pitched the car through tight corners. Wallace divulged that the rack-and-pinion system was revised to provide improved feel at all speeds. The revisions include premium machining of the system's internal components and a new, stiffer intermediate shaft with controller-calibration changes. The changes made us feel more in touch with the car during our aggressive drive.
Our car was also equipped with the optional Magnetic Selective Ride Control. The option has a new rotary selection switch on the center console that made changing the suspensions settings from Touring to Sport easier while driving. Larger cross-drilled brake rotors are included when this option is selected. Overall, we were very impressed with the improvements that have been made to the automatic-equipped Corvette.
Next, we moved into a black six-speed manual coupe. Gardner told us the car was equipped with the new TR-6060 transmission. This trans will be installed in all base and Z06 Corvettes for '08. It features reduced shift effort and travel. We noticed the difference immediately. Unlike previous manual C6s we have driven, this car shifted very positively and with very little effort. We especially liked how easy it was to shift from Second to Third gear. We did not feel any vibration through the shifter, and Reverse was always easy to engage. People may not be so quick to change to an aftermarket shifter once they've experienced this new, improved transmission.
The final big news we uncovered during our preview was the availability of an optional leather-wrapped interior package. This interior is hand-fabricated by Draxlmaier Corporation in Duncan, South Carolina, and will be available on all coupe, convertible, and Z06 models. Details include the following:
* Two-tone, leather-wrapped upper and lower instrument panel, door pads, and seats
* Choice of two new, exclusive colors-Linen and Sienna
* Padded door-panel armrests
* "Corvette" embroidered on passenger-side dash pad
* Embroidered crossed-flags logo on headrests
* Unique center-trim plate with a carbon-fiber-style pattern
This new interior lends some much-needed aesthetic polish to the C6's cabin. After all, many of the cars that compete in the Corvette's segment are available with similar upgrades; it's about time the Vette countered with a dress-up package of its own. No pricing for this option was announced.
The black coupe we drove was equipped with the standard '08 interior, which features a new instrument-panel center-trim plate and bright surrounds for the shifter and cupholder. It's also equipped with new, metal-finish doorsill plates as well as a lighted control knob for the available Magnetic Selective Ride Control. All Corvette models now come standard with the following:
* OnStar with available Turn-By-Turn Navigation
* XM Satellite Radio
* Auto-dimming rearview mirrors with compass
* Audio-input jack on all stereo systems (except navigation)
* Personal Audio Link available as a dealer-installed item with navigation system
Though subtle, the changes for '08 add up to a much more enjoyable driving experience. As the C6 enters into its fourth year of production, we think new and returning buyers will continue to be very happy with the look and feel of America's favorite sports car.
