It's hard to imagine seeing 15,000 Corvettes in one place. But then again, it's also hard to imagine how Mike Yager, a former tool-and-die maker, was able to turn a business run out of the trunk of his car into a multi-million-dollar industry leader in Corvette parts and accessories. Nonetheless, he did, and it's Mid America Motorworks, the company he created, that hosts Corvette Funfest. An annual customer appreciation party usually thrown in September, Funfest draws 15,000 Corvettes to the Mid America corporate campus in Effingham, Illinois, effectively quadrupling the town's population over a long weekend.
"You've got to come," the Mid America folks told me last year when I was covering the Walter Mitty Challenge. And come I did. Having penciled in the September 19-21 dates on my mental calendar, when the 18th rolled around, I fueled up my blacked-out Crown Vic Police Interceptor and headed north through Tennessee and Kentucky to Effingham. Perhaps it was a travesty to drive a Ford, but what Corvette get-together is complete without a Crown Vic in the rearview?
Theoretically, I could have flown, but somehow it seemed wrong not to drive. Besides, the nearest airport is in Indianapolis. So after 10 hours of road construction, accident cleanups, and endless cups of coffee, I straggled into the Fairfield Inn, past the framed Funfest Corvette Challenge poster on an easel in the lobby. Fortunately, my reservations were made a couple of months earlier: Many of the hotels have special event rates for Funfest, but if they don't have any rooms left, the rate hardly matters.
Now is a good time to point out that Funfest isn't a car show; it's called a "customer appreciation party," and that's pretty accurate. The leading item at the top of the calendar of events reads, "All Day...Have Fun." There's no cost to attend, and there's a vast spectrum of things to do over the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday that comprise the event. From tours of Mid America's facilities to displays set up by Corvette-parts vendors (many of whom will do installations on the spot) and autograph sessions and seminars with some of the top names in the hobby, the only hard part is trying to see everything. In addition, every year Funfest has a theme, usually related to one or more of the cars that reside in Mike Yager's MY Garage museum. Last year, it was Corvette Summer; this year the chosen cars were the Corvette Challenge cars from 1988 and 1989.
Not long after its introduction in 1984, the C4 Corvette went on to absolutely flog the competition in the SS class of the SCCA's Showroom Stock Endurance Championship. With a record of 19-0 during its three years of dominance, the Corvette won the '87 manufacturer's title by 81-7, understandably upsetting other manufacturers--specifically, Porsche, who wasn't used to getting its clock cleaned so monotonously. "While we would be content to thrash our competition eternally," the poster announcing the Corvette Challenge read, "the gruesome sight proved to be too brutal for the SCCA." Sort of. It was actually too brutal for the boys from Stttgart, who threatened to take their toys and go home if SCCA didn't ban the Corvette from competition.
So, with Teutonic efficiency, the best Corvette yet was thrown out on its ear. Enter John Powell, who was running a race series in Canada. Largely by force of personality, he convinced Goodyear, Exxon, and the then-much-smaller Mid America to put up a total of $1 million to start a new, Corvette-only race series. With sponsorships in hand, he approached Chevrolet and asked them to produce 50 factory race cars for the series he had named the Corvette Challenge. Although the General had been conscientiously aloof from racing for decades, Powell's persuasive power carried the day. On March 29th, five months after being tossed out of SCCA, the identical factory racers were delivered to their teams at Chevrolet's Central Office in Warren, Michigan.

Building Owner Sues Owner of Former Lenox Lounge for Stripping Building
The owner of the building that housed the former Lenox Lounge at 288 Lenox Avenue in Harlem is reportedly suing the owner of the club for stripping the space of its iconic Art Deco façade and fixtures.
The Commercial Observer reported last month that Alvin Reed, owner of the Lounge, had signed a 15-year lease at 333 Lenox Avenue due to an insurmountable rent increase at the former space, and that he had brought with him a truckload of items from the old location that would be used to recreate its original vibe.
The New York Daily News reports that Ricky Edmonds, owner of the building, is now suing Mr. Reed for $50 million, claiming that he owns the items removed.
"The front facade was removed. The interior and exterior doors were being removed. Fixtures such as mirrors, light fixtures, signs and banquettes were removed, completing their extensive stripping and looting of the property," the suit claims. Read More

Nissan NV200 London taxi pictures and hands-on
London's black cab drivers are known for being the best in the world. In the not so distant future, we may well see our knowledge-laden cabbies driving around in adapted Nissan NV200 vehicles, as the car company has unveiled its concept and vision for the future of London's licensed taxis. Is Nissan's more economical and larger NV200 the probable end for the iconic LTI TX4 as seen on London's roads today?
The Nissan NV200 has been around for a while, but you're more likely to find a couple of builders hauling tools around in the MPV-meets-small-van than a cabbie transporting Londoners about their business.
Born out of a necessity to improve London's air quality - a requirement that needs to be met by the Mayor's office - Nissan has seized the opportunity to deliver a more-economical, spacious and, ultimately, cheaper road vehicle.
It might be cheaper for cabbies to buy - although, even when pressed, Nissan wouldn't say exactly how much - but the cost of fares won't come down for us commuters. So the big question is one of comfort: how does the NV200 taxi feel? Pocket-lint was on hand to take a seat in one of the three unfinished prototypes and, we have to say, it's pretty darn comfy.
The "premium vinyl" seats, each dressed in black and yellow, have enough bounce to keep aches and pains away from your behind, while the two drop-down seats that face backwards, while certainly harder, are also well padded and sufficiently comfortable.
There's a whole lot more leg room than taxis currently on the road, too. If not sharing with a fellow passenger sitting opposite, even six-footers won't have any trouble stretching their legs right out, and there's bags of room for, well, bags, suitcases and whatever else you might happen to need to cart about.
The current configuration has small lights surrounding the top of the passenger area for subtle but striking lighting, and it's even possible to switch these on or off using a panel to the side. Now that's what we like to see.
A huge glass roof also makes it possible to get a good look at London's taller architecture in the capital's narrow streets, though we felt the side windows were too small - something that could yet change for the final model.
The current model doesn't yet feature a rear display unit, similar to those in New York Yellow cabs, but this will be implemented in the final vehicle. Exact plans aren't yet available, but we suspect a GPS system with live map, and an interactive touchscreen to bring London's cabs bang up to date.
The London-specific NV200 taxi is designed for all, including London's 1.4-million people with disabilities. Nissan has redesigned the doors to accommodate wheelchair users and, although not yet in the prototype model, there will be a built-in ramp that can easily be deployed to the side door, and a height-adjustable, rear-facing seat.
Nissan's preliminary plans also show that a "talking taxi meter" will be implemented for visually impaired passengers and ground-level LED lights are also on the list.
The 1.5-litre DCI turbo diesel engine is available in manual or automatic and, while it may not match up to the current LTI TX4's 2.7-litre Nissan engine, it is around 50 per cent more fuel efficient, plus the 139g/km CO2 emissions are significantly better than the 233g/km outed by the TX4.
But from the customer's point of view we can only hope that there's enough power behind those wheels to transport you and any weighty colleagues up a steep incline. Until we've been for a chauffered test drive with the combined weight of the Pocket-lint team we can't say how it feels on the move.
Nissan says the taxi has been designed from the inside out, and we're inclined to agree. The NV200 isn't the prettiest of MPVs - it almost looks like something out of Total Recall - but when it comes to getting from A to B we don't think Londoners will be too harsh about the external appearance from their seat inside. And from that point of view this cabbie wagon could well make its mark when it hits the streets at the beginning of 2014... if, that is, any licensed cabbies put down a deposit to buy one.
The future of London's taxis? Tell us what you think in the comments below...

Yes you can - I have an iPhone 3G and it worked for me so if you have anything more recent than that it should work for you. The microphone for calls is pretty good even though it's "In-line". I tried the Ultimate Ears 200vi Noise-Isolating Headset by logitech and the mic only worked when I held it to my mouth. I didn't have to hold this one and I tried moving my head while talking and the other person could still hear me without me having to hold the mic. However, I will mention that since the mic was sensitive enough to pick up my voice from any direction the listener could also hear background noise pretty strongly, so it might not be ideal if you need to talk in noisy areas.

With Spring weather here it was time for a spring sewing project. This was made the same way as my first Petal Pillow, but with white fleece instead of felt and pointed petals.
I can't remember the name of the pillow fabric but it would be cute in a girls room. This pillow is super soft since the petals are fleece…so I can lay on it and it won't leave me with red scratchy face like the felt version does.
I'm definitely making this one for Christmas…but I said that last year too. :)

Rated 3 out of 5Â by nessad Fun but not great fit I really like this crochet swim top but it may not be for everyone because it doesn't provide any support. It's more of a top than a swim suit. I had a lining put in as well as elastic to keep it from moving around. It seems highly priced for the level quality. 7.15.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by arizonagirl31 Festivals!!!! My favorite thing to wear to music festivals, with high waisted shorts! Gets a million complements every time. 7.1.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by ehbrooke Amazing So, I was going for the classic hippie look for my wardrobe and this cochet top did wonders for me. I've always wanted a cochet top like this and I'm so happy that I found one on Free People. The only thing about this top is that its a little big but other than that its a great top to pair with high waisted shorts or a maxi skirt. Thanks for doing it again Free People! <3 4.22.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Cocospring Sexy This is my dream top! I wouldn't consider it a bikini top since I wouldn't dare swimming with this delicate, beautiful, piece! I don't know if the fabric will hold up that nicely either if you go into the water with it. It's a bit loose for me, but again I'm only 32AA. I'll try to find a bra/bikini that gives me a little bit more support to wear under this crochet piece. Other than that it is SO beautiful and it made me feel so sexyl! 2.20.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by zoela LOOOVE!! I love this bikini top!! the crochet flowers are so cute and it's a very unique piece...it is a bit loose so you must tie it tight enough (the valance could get in the way if you're a very slender type ). Although i'm just a 32A it works. the lining is okay. its not elastic and in the first moment it's kind of irritating that it's under the grate-like part of the top. The black colour looks beautiful (hopefully the bottom will soon be back in stock!) You shouldn't go swimming with it but it's the perfect piece for an unstrained evening with friends around a campfire... =) 2.14.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Alicja Crochet makes it nicer I really like the top, crochet makes it look really good. It's simple sexy. 1.15.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by hollyharrison A little loose This bikini top is adorable no doubt but it does not fit exactly like you see in the picture. It is looser around the bottom and is not skin tight. For me it is a relaxed top that I could wear to a bbq with high wasted shorts or something. Overall the quality is great and the crochet design is lovely. 8.16.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by maggie_318 Disappointing I bought this the minute I saw it in the catalog. I wasn't sure about the size so I ordered both: XS and small. I received the XS first. It didn't quite look like in the photo. First of all, the crochet bottom part was "hanging" loosely; second - there was no tie in the bust as stated in the item description ,see attached photo. only the tie in the back. I would say it fits true to size; I am 34B. To expensive for something this average. I returned it and got the Zinke bralette instead #from January catalog) and I am very happy! 3.22.2012

On the first installment of our 383 engine build, we covered the rotating assembly. Now we'll put the finishing touches on the engine assembly so we can install it. we wrapped up Part 1 by handling the clearance issues with the cam and rods. Now the cam timing should be checked. We're concerned with maximum power potential, and cam timing is critical.
Most things in life are a balance-when you make a performance gain you lose somewhere else. Cam timing is no different. Retarding the cam typically makes more power at high-rpm and makes the idle choppy. Advancing the cam allows better low-rpm throttle response and hurts horsepower at the big end. This is where our Virtual Engine dyno software came in handy. We could advance or retard the camshaft to see power gains and losses. Be careful to look over the entire rpm band, watching for the changes in horsepower and torque when cam timing is adjusted.
To start, you need to be sure the cam timing is correct according to the camshaft manufacturer, then make changes if desired. There are many informative web sites that discuss cam timing. Take the time to read the theory and then put it into practice. Today's cam manufacturers have precise equipment that is rarely incorrect, but a slight indexing error will make cam timing off. It could be multiple things, including crankshaft index, cam gear, crank gear, or even timing chain variations, causing cam timing errors.
There are also other factors to consider. For instance, in our engine build, the Keisler-supplied, Tremec five-speed with 3:27:1 First gear, along with 10.4 compression, and the 3:73 rear axle ratio allows us to benefit from some cam retard to help top-end power. If we had an automatic transmission with a 1,400-rpm stall speed torque converter and 2:59 rear gear, advancing the cam would be in order to give some off-the-line zip. To ensure our cam would stay in perfect timing for many hours of engine operation, we used a Comp Cams High-Tech Roller Race timing set; Comp Cams pushrods and rocker arms actuate the valves with precision at high rpm.
Now the timing chain cover is on we could cover up the bottom end, but we had concerns about oil capacity. There aren't many alternatives when it comes to extra-capacity oil pans, especially in the '84-'86 Corvette cast-iron cylinder head engines. These early C4 engines have the two-piece crankshaft rear main seal, leaving these engines in an oil-pan quagmire that no one wanted to deal with. That is until Canton Racing Products stepped up and custom-built a Road Race oil pan with adequate ground clearance. The Canton oil pan has an 8-quart oil capacity and a built-in windage tray with the same 7-inch depth as the original GM pan. Canton now offers the oil pan in one- and two-piece rear seal versions with the dipstick on the right or left side. For those of you that have the later '91-'96 L-98 and LT engines, you can also use their pan since they provided a provision for the oil level sensor. The original clunky Delco starter can also be used.
Moving on to the valvetrain-smallblock cylinder head design has become huge over the last few years. We all know that combustion engines are air compressors. Efficient air flow equates to power gains. Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum cylinder heads (PN 60999) completely assembled had been purchased previously for this project, so all we had to do was clean them for installation. The Edelbrock cylinder heads have 64cc combustion chambers with 2.02-intake and 1.60-exhaust valves, allowing .575 valve lift, so an aggressive lift camshaft can be used. GM D-port heads will coil bind at .495 valve lift in most cases when using stock components. Always check for valvespring coil bind and piston-to-valve interference, no matter what the numbers say.

I still haven't made the upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8. I want to though, and very soon. I just can't make up my mind which would be the better option, doing the online upgrade for $39.99 or buying the retail box somewhere for $69.99. I am uncertain which way to go because I only have one chance at this since money is extremely tight for me. If I do the online upgrade and something goes wrong I cannot afford to go out and buy the retail box afterwards. So what do you suggest is best for me?
Regardless of what option I choose above, I understand I should be presented with an option to install onto a new partition, is this correct? So if I choose to install onto a new partition will that install be the full clean version of Windows 8?
Should I create the new partition ahead of time or do it during the install process?
Another question, if I do the online upgrade and I download the ISO file to my computer do I still need to use the USB/DVD Tool to create the disc or is burning the ISO to the DVD enough?
One last question please. My computer only has one harddrive, it's 1 TB in size and I'm currently running Windows 7. All of my programs and games are installed on the C drive there. If I install Windows 8 to a new partition I can still access and run those programs and games from the Windows 8 environment using shortcuts to the programs on the Windows 7 partition yes? Or do I need to reinstall those again onto the Windows 8 partition to use them?
Thank you all in advance for your advice and opinions.

Above: Raw footage I shot from the channel today…not the best quality but you get the point.
Teahupo'o Super Swell: The Day Of Days
Since Mark Healey has already given me some shit for calling it "the biggest day ever," let's just say that Saturday, August 27 was as big as it gets here at Teahupo'o. Having just come in from sitting in the channel for four hours, I'm at a loss for words. How people didn't die I don't know. Here are a few of the more memorable moments…
-Bruce Irons had his trunks ripped off and took a bare-ass victory lap through the channel.
-Maya Gabeira got whipped into a smaller (relative to the sets) wave, got barreled, and kicked out into the channel only to see one of the biggest waves of the day break right in front of her. Check the video above; about 2/3 of the way through. She was in a really bad spot but got rescued by Poto. It took her a while to get her breath but she's okay now.I don't think she should have been out there, the girl nearly died and was way out of her league.
-Freddy P, Julian Wilson, and Ricardo Dos Santos were the lone surfers who are in the event to tackle the massive surf.
-Raimana Van Bastolaer injured his back on his first wave, ripping through his thick safety vest. Hope he's feeling better.
-The worst injury of the day happened to a Brazilian guy named "Gordo" who slammed his face and knee into the reef. Dude was a bloody mess.
-What struck me was that despite the fact that most of the best big wave surfers and the cream of the ASP World Tour crop is here, there were only a handful of tow teams out there. It seems a lot of guys got a few waves, thanked their lucky stars, and got the hell outta there. Good call. Laurie Towner and Dylan Longbottom are the exception—they've been out all day.

Part 2 in a 10-part online-only series … Game 2, Sept. 20, in Tallahassee, TV TBA, game time TBA — The Atlantic Coast Conference opener for both teams and the 28th meeting between the teams with Florida State leading the series 19-8 … Participate in #FSUTrivia on Twitter, follow Brad Milner @PCNHBradMilner for your chance to win one of 10 BCS Championship commemorative editions … Click here to read Part 1
Dabo Swinney famously, or infamously depending on your view, said Clemson could defeat Florida State "probably" five out of 10 times last season. This came after the Seminoles marched into Death Valley and throttled the Tigers 51-14.
Oh, Dabo.
In his defense, he did have a team with Tajh Boyd and Sammy Watkins on offense that against most teams presented major problems. Against FSU, at least on that night, not so much. Both of those players have taken their talents to the NFL and Clemson will roll into Tallahassee for its third game with a vastly different roster.
Swinney is left with uncertainty at quarterback with the dismissal of Chad Kelly, who was in line for a shot at the starting role. Clemson also must replace the latest in a long line of top rushers, this time Roderick McDowell and his team-leading 1,025 yards. Oh, and Boyd was second on the team with 400 yards so more than half the production has gone away.
Watkins grabbed 101 passes from Boyd and added 12 scores. Martavis Bryant also is gone and with him 828 yards and seven touchdowns are as well.
The Tigers will start fresh with running backs Zac Brooks and D.J. Howard competing for the starting nod. Brooks was third on the team last season with 246 yards, while Howard was close behind with 213. Both scored two TDs and Howard was listed as the starter after spring practices.
Adam Humphries returns as the most productive wide receiver with 483 yards and a pair of scores on 41 receptions. He will be flanked by Mike Williams, who averaged nearly 16 yards per catch, and Charone Peake, who had high expectations and injured his knee two games into the season. Peake received a medical redshirt and could be in line for a breakout year.
Who will throw Peake and Co. passes is the question. Kelly is gone, leaving Cole Stoudt as the current starter. The rising senior played in eight games last season and tossed five TDs in mop-up duty.
Clemson will earn its keep on defense with end Vic Beasley and linebacker Stephone Anthony back this season and both expecting to receive preseason All-American notice. Anthony led the team with an impressive 131 tackles, 75 solo and 13½ for loss. Beasley added 44 stops and led the Tigers with 13 sacks.
Three of four starters on the line return with Josh Watson fighting for an increased role. Robert Smith anchors the backfield with 79 tackles. He will be joined by three returners who had varied experience in 2013.
The cupboard isn't bare at Clemson, which has been one of the steady contenders in the ACC's Atlantic Division. The trouble has been forging past FSU and the Seminoles took a giant leap forward with a national title.
Swinney's remarks, and later saying he felt Clemson was ahead of FSU in terms of seasonal progress, however ill-advised, were made to show boosters and his team that he wasn't resigned to being second fiddle. Unfortunately for Swinney, his boastful talk is just that, talk, and the Tigers have a long way to go to match the Seminoles again.
- FSU's top returning players: QB Jameis Winston (4,057 yards, 40 touchdowns, 10 interceptions, 219 yards rushing, four TDs), RB Karlos Williams (730 yards, 11 TDs), WR Rashad Greene (1,128 yards, nine TDs), TE Nick O'Leary (557 yards, seven TDs), WR Kermit Whitfield (two rushing TDs, 619 kickoff return yards, two TDs), OL Josue Matias (29 starts), OL Cameron Erving (28 starts), PK Roberto Aguayo (21-22 FGs, 53 long, 94-94 XP), LB Terrance Smith (59 tackles, two sacks), DB Jalen Ramsey (49 tackles, one INT, one fumble recovery), DE Mario Edwards Jr. (28 tackles, 9½ for loss, 3½ sacks), DB P.J. Williams (35 tackles, three INTs), DB Ronald Darby (14 tackles, two INTs), DB Nate Andrews (35 tackles, four INts), LB Reggie Northrup (46 tackles).
- Clemson's top returning players: WR Adam Humphries (483 yards, two TDs), DE Vic Beasley (44 tackles, 23 for loss, 13 sacks), DT Grady Jarrett (83 tackles, two sacks), LB Stephone Anthony (131 tackles, 75 solo and 13½ for loss, four sacks, one INT), DB Robert Smith (79 tackles), DB Jayron Kearse (55 tackles, four INTs).
- First-glance prediction: This is a game FSU will be favored in and perhaps heavily given last year's outcome. To many the game was surprising, given it was at Clemson. It isn't prudent to believe Clemson has closed the gap much, especially with its losses on offense, but don't be shocked if this is closer for longer until the Seminoles pull away late.
- Next week: A glance at the Week 2 non-conference home game against The Citadel and a late-season ACC battle with visiting Boston College, which gave FSU an early scare last year on the road.

Paint & Body Special Section
One of the potential problem areas for someone looking to install a hot engine in a mid-'70s Corvette is a definite limit on available hood clearance. The price of that sexy, low hood line is that very few custom intake systems will clear beneath it, and, certainly, none of the really high-rise, race-style intake manifolds, even with a small-block.
We have plans to go with an engine set to kill in our modified C3 project car, and a hood swap fit right into our plans. We were all for the wild looks of a custom hood installation, intending to spice up the looks from the conservative '76 piece. Although the stock hood has a fairly significant kick-up in the center, this factory original, cowl-style hood just wasn't going to be enough, either for clearance or aesthetically.
Tastes vary, but to us, there is nothing quite like the Corvette L-88 hood. Originally designed for the baddest of big-blocks, the L-88 hood is a Corvette signature piece-an item that helped define the unrestrained aura of serious performance. It can be argued that this particular design was the most outrageous factory hood offering by any OEM manufacturer, bar none. On looks alone, there is plenty to recommend this swap, but functionally, we did need clearance, and the L-88 hood delivers, offering over 11/2 inches of additional clearance compared to our stock bonnet.

It's not you, Windows 8, it's me. No, wait, it is you!
You weren't everything Microsoft said you'd be — a unifying force of an OS that would marry all my devices, including my phone, my laptop, my tablet, and my PC. But it didn't quite work that way.
I'm not mad (OK, maybe a little), and I still love our mutual acquaintance, Microsoft. And, I love your spirit, Windows 8, but the execution wasn't there. So we are over.
Except that everyone is still talking about you because you are one of the main options for companies updating from Windows XP. All this talk is making it hard to forget you, but forget you I must. Here's why everyone should.
1. Windows 8 is high maintenance
Windows 8 likes the finer things and is hard to get to know. The OS requires a pricey touch screen monitor and can only be deciphered through intensive training (which translates into increased IT costs).
SEE ALSO: How net neutrality affects you and 4 reasons why you should care
2. Windows 8 is difficult to get along with
Windows 8 makes even the easy things — like opening up an application — more complicated than they need to be if you are not using a touchscreen. In fact, if you are running this OS without a touchscreen, it is almost a requirement to use a third-party application to make it look like Windows 7. And then, really, what's the point?
3. Windows 8 is not compatible
Windows 8 does not get along well with your old friends. Many of your older standbys (webcams, printers, scanners, and the like) may not be compatible with it.

It's much easier to configure and has a lot more features. Tomato-specific (I think) features I use: use WAN-port as LAN, use 5Ghz radio for 2.4Ghz (I have two completely independent 2.4Ghz networks), VPN host (so I can log in to my network remotely), ... I also have my WiFi on GreenField and some other things that basically only allow WiFi-N and optimize for it (by leaving out a lot of backwards compatibility - everything I use is N anyway).
Any advantages over the stock firmware for normal use?

"some of them can only support 2-3 devices" Where did they say this?? Lets think about who they are wording this for, and who they are trying to sell too and what they want to sell. They want to sell you the their top of the line model. You could say any wireless device can only handle 1 wireless client if what you want is the FULL wireless bandwidth to that client. Wireless is shared. You have X amount of bandwidth, now depending on how many concurrent clients you have and how much bandwidth you want each client to be able to have -- do the math. If I want all of X to 1 client, then it can only support 1. If I am ok with X/10 then it can support 10 But I am curious to where your reading that sort of statement? I have never seen a router list a specific number of clients. Looking on the website of the different wireless routers and sure don't see any sort of statement about how many clients http://homestore.cis...64VVviewcat.htm Here is a compare page - where does it say this one is 2-3 and this one is 4-6? Here is specs on one - where does it say number of clients? http://homestore.cis...6VVviewprod.htm

THE FOOD Plenty of restaurants in town offer chef's tasting menus or special multicourse feasts in addition to their à la carte menus, but at Beast no matter who you are, or who's sitting next to you, you'll feast on the same things. Thankfully, there's rarely a reason to crave anything but whatever chef Naomi Pomeroy puts in front of you. For $52 apiece, you and your friends can have a six-course, prix fixe feast ($45 gets you five courses) that almost always begins with a demitasse of silky soup, be it a truffled cream of cauliflower and celery root purée or a fresh shell-bean-and-tomato number. After this palate tickler comes an impressive spread of charcuterie (see "Flavor Profile" below), followed by the main course. One week it might consist of a saddle of rabbit stuffed with figs and served with braised cabbage; another time you might dine on a lamb loin chop pan-seared to perfection and paired with tomato-and-plum chutney. And after that? A perfectly dressed salad spiked with accents like fresh figs or smoky pork belly. Pomeroy believes that it will help prime your stomach for what's next: a plate of artisanal cheeses, followed by, say, a chocolate soufflé with lemon-verbena whipped cream. It may take two hours or more to eat this meal. So relax. Settle in. Enjoy.
THE CHEF Self-taught cook Naomi Pomeroy made a name for herself with her ex-husband, Michael Hebberoy, when, between 2001 and 2006, they rolled out Ripe, the restaurant empire that included Gotham Building Tavern, Family Supper, and Clarklewis. But their nationally lauded entourage imploded two years ago thanks to the couple's financial mismanagement. Now that the dust has settled, Pomeroy has returned to the kitchen. Though she's keeping things much smaller this time around, the flavors on her French-inspired prix fixe menu are far from simple. In fact, she shows tremendous aptitude for balancing delicate flavors with bold presentation. It's an honor to watch Pomeroy sustain not only her obvious love of food but also her knack for gathering people to eat it.
THE ATMOSPHERE Quite possibly the tiniest restaurant you'll ever visit, with just 24 seats at two communal tables, Beast feels, above all, personal. Not only were the golden curtains made by Pomeroy's mother, but the black wall at the back is covered with Pomeroy's culinary musings. From your seat, you'll get to see just about everything the folks in the kitchen do, from plating to chopping to firing up the small oven. And sitting elbow to elbow with strangers means you can count on getting to know your neighbors well. Really well.
THE SERVICE Only one or two servers work the floor at any time, but just as the cooks in the kitchen seem almost Zen-like, so does the person filling your water glass. Since everyone's eating the same thing, the waiters are there primarily to walk you through the ingredients on your plate, or to answer any questions. Other than that, they blend seamlessly into the background, no small thing considering the size of the restaurant.

We are the Grinches of our neighborhood, the house without even a plastic candy cane in the front yard. Blame it on laziness and the craziness of our lives. We can barely keep our lawn mowed; stapling lights to our eaves every year is completely out of our reach.
But I love seeing everyone else's festive yards. Glowing lights bring back memories of my childhood and the joy of Christmas.
Part of it is nostalgia. Before my parents died, they enjoyed being driven around on Christmas Eve past the most spectacular light displays in town.
My dad always strung lights on our balcony, and you could see the large bulbs from the road even after they had been covered with several inches of snow.
And while Christmas in our house was rarely the stuff of Hallmark commercials, I still hold the memories close.
My parents always tried to make it special, whether they were having a good year or a bad one.
Sometimes they argued — I remember those years, since it was like biting into a Christmas sweet and finding it bitter on the inside.
My grandparents were with us year after year, and then they were gone, dying less than a year apart.
We kept the same traditions, even though something was lost without them.
We got cats, which clawed their way up the trunk of the tree, forcing my dad to secure it to the wall with fishing line and eyelets.
We got a dog, which slept in a sweet little ball on the homemade blanket under the tree.
Now, it's my turn to give some of those same gifts to our children, continuing traditions that are as much a part of a family's history as DNA.
We trim a tree with ornaments my father handled 80 years earlier, fragile balls of thin glass painted in faded shades of blue and pink. One breaks every year, just sitting and waiting in its nest of tissue paper for another Christmas to roll around.
We hang several of the cheap plastic ornaments my grandmother found on sale a few years before she died. The tree isn't complete without a few of my childhood handcrafted efforts and dozens of my own children's attempts.
We bake cookies and wrap presents. We put them under the tree on Christmas Eve in a ceremonial parade through the house.
We reminisce about the year when my husband climbed up onto the roof with sleigh bells on Christmas Eve soon after our children were put to bed. We laugh about some friends whose dad dressed up in a Santa suit and let his wife take a picture of him from the back, bending over to put presents under the tree.
Thanksgiving is past. We're officially in the Christmas season. Make some great memories.

I finally made myself make a quilt top. I still haven't found my sewing mojo, so I thought maybe if I made myself sit in that chair and sew something it was sure to come back. And I think it did…a little at least. This wonky block quilt top resulted from an afternoon of sewing, and although it wasn't the original plan for this fabric, I really like the way it turned out.
Its a nice overcast day here so we made our way downtown Poulsbo this morning to the farmers market and to the quilt shop to pick up this cute backing fabric. And no stop downtown is complete without a stop at Slys Bakery, where I pounded a chocolate donut the size of my head. I acted like I was going to share it with someone so I didn't look like such a horker, but I'm pretty sure they saw straight through that one.
Fabric is by Allison Jane Smith for Windham Fabrics. The whole line is cute cute cute.

For some applications, overt displays of power-enhancing changes are distinctly frowned upon. We're not just talking about the traditional "sleeper." For instance, many vintage musclecar enthusiasts go out of their way to keep their engine's appearance relatively "stock." In the realm of resto purists, parts such as custom manifolds, modern carburetors, or tube headers fly in the face of the goal of recreating the historically correct appearance. In these circles, anything giving away a "non-stock" appearance is unacceptable, and efforts to recreate the vehicle in its original glory are sometimes carried out to the point of fanaticism. Others might stray from total originality as long as the components resemble the factory equipment. Does a stock look necessarily count out the potential for performance augmentation? We would have to answer that with an emphatic "no." Buried deep within the engine's internals are opportunities for substantial power gains without giving away a clue.
A stock-appearing engine certainly can benefit from modern technology and advancements for very substantial power gains. The levels of this deception can be as subtle as the modification of selected original parts, or it can involve the substitution of production internals in favor of performance-bred replacements. The possibilities are nearly endless, and the prospects for power gains are truly enormous. We will detail some of our favorite little tricks, all of which are proven to substantially encourage output without offering a visual clue.
1) Crankshaft Capacity
This is perhaps the most flagrant violation of originality, yet it is totally discreet and offers one of the greatest opportunities for outright gain. Of course, we're referring to a stroker crankshaft. Increasing the crankshaft stroke will increase the engine's cubic-inch capacity in a way that's anything but trivial.
Aftermarket stroker crankshafts are readily available for most popular engine types. For instance, a 350 small-block can be readily stroked to 383 cubic inches, and those added cubes offer a pure increase in torque production. It's something to seriously consider at the time of an engine rebuild, and though no one will be the wiser, you certainly will be whenever the throttle is stood on end.
Employing a stroker will require a complete replacement of the engine's rotating assembly and often requires modifications to the block's crankcase to allow clearance. However, the popularity of this mod in the performance world has made stroker kits readily available, and the procedures are routine for most specialty engine shops. On the street, displacement rules, and with a stroker combination virtually any engine can benefit from a boost in size.
2) Winding Down Windage
While we're familiar with the resistance of air, one can only imagine the magnitude of resistance imposed as the crank struggles against the oil in the crankcase. In a running engine, a portion of the oil drains back upon the crankshaft, where it can become entangled in the crank's rotation, costing power. Further oil can be pulled up from the sump below, most significantly under the forces of braking, acceleration, and cornering as the oil sloshes around in the pan.
There are numerous steps that can be taken to both reduce the amount of oil snared by the moving crank and make the crankshaft slice more effectively through whatever oil is there. High-performance crankshafts are profiled on their protruding counterweights to improve their ability to cut through oil, directing oil away from the projecting rod journals and in toward the static main cap area. Quality aftermarket cranks can be had with nicely profiled counterweights, and even an original crankshaft can be modified in a similar way to reduce windage losses. Power gains on the order of 10-15 hp can be achieved at high rpm.
Other mods seek to separate the oil from the spinning crankshaft. Here we can employ windage trays, which separate and form a barrier between the crankshaft and the oil reserve in the sump. Baffling in the pan can also be added for similar benefits, helping with oil control under driving forces. Other tricks include using a crank scraper, a closely fitted sheetmetal projection mounted to the internal oil pan rail, which will "scrape" excess oil as the crank spins by. Further improvements can be had by controlling drainback in the center of the block by using standpipes, which allow for crankcase ventilation but direct drainback to the block's front and rear extremes.
3) Rings In The Power
Piston ring technology has improved dramatically since the old days. Neglecting these advancements is nothing short of ludicrous. Improvements can be found in materials, dimensions, and ring configuration. Considering materials, old-fashioned plain cast-iron rings wear the cylinder bore at a high rate, are high in friction, and are marginal in strength. Aftermarket high-performance rings made of ductile iron are a better choice. Ductile iron rings are more durable in demanding conditions and will take the punishment, whereas a brittle plain iron ring will break. Most of these high-performance rings are moly-coated, which greatly reduces bore friction and wear and aids ring sealing. No serious engine should be built with a lesser ring.
In the old days, standard-production engine compression rings measured 5U64-inch thick, which put a substantial amount of surface area in contact with the bores. The weak, plain cast-iron material relied on the high cross-section for strength. High-performance and racing engines would typically use a thinner cross-section of 1U16 inch, reducing friction and improving the ring seal at high rpm by virtue of a lighter and more reactive ring. Better ring materials made the 1U16-inch ring suitable for production, and now this ring width and even thinner sections are commonplace in OEM engines. In rebuilding a vintage engine, a 1U16-inch ductile iron moly ring pack should be considered the standard for increased power and engine life. In recent years, high-tech steel rings have grown in popularity, as have narrower 1.5 or 1.2mm or 0.043-inch widths, which are worth considering depending upon the application.

Friday Night Sew-In
If you look at the blocks they are not strictly the same I done them alternative but didn't realise until I was taking the photo that they are not quite the same I don't think it matters as they will be in different quilts.
I hope that I can work on more blocks before next Friday's Sew-In so I can be working on some projects I really need to do but I guess I have to see how I get along this coming week.

Florida Panthers (5-12-4) at Vancouver Canucks (11-8-3), 10 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Vancouver Canucks are in danger of posting their longest losing streak in nearly five years, so now seems like a good time for a visit from the Florida Panthers.
The Canucks try to avoid a fifth straight defeat overall and just their second at home all-time against the Panthers.
Vancouver has been held to a single goal during each game of its current 0-3-1 slide. That includes a setback in the first two of a six-game homestand, with the Canucks losing an overtime decision to the San Jose Sharks on Thursday prior to Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Dallas Stars.
Roberto Luongo had 21 saves and Henrik Sedin got the Canucks onto the board just over three minutes into the third period.
Sedin, though, also had a potential game-tying goal on the power play waived off near the midway point of the second period when it was ruled twin brother Daniel Sedin made incidental contract with Dallas netminder Kari Lehtonen.
Though Canucks head coach John Tortorella said afterwards that no one play costs a team a game, it was a sequence he would have liked to have been reviewed.
"It's a big play in the game. I think we need to get the call right. If you can review that, I think you get the call right. But it's unreviewable," said Tortorella, who said he did not get an explanation of the call.
"All the crap we review, and they don't review an important thing like that. I just think that needs to change. It's the wrong call."
That leaves the Canucks in danger of their longest losing streak since an 0-5-3 skid from Jan. 9-31, 2009.
That makes this visit from the Panthers well timed. Florida has not won in Vancouver since its inaugural 1993-94 season, going 0-5-1 with five ties since.
The Canucks are also 8-1-1 with a pair of ties in their previous 12 meetings with the Panthers overall, though Florida did snap a three-game series losing streak with a 2-1 win at home in the most recent encounter on Jan. 9, 2012.
Luongo is 4-1-1 with a 1.79 goals against average in six career games versus the Panthers, who he played with for five seasons before getting traded to Vancouver ahead of the 2006-07 campaign.
The Panthers are looking to get rolling under interim head coach Peter Horachek, having gone 2-3-0 since he replaced a fired Kevin Dineen on Nov. 8. Florida defeated the Colorado Avalanche 4-1 on Saturday, its second win in three games following an 0-5-4 slide and first on the road since its season- opener in Dallas on Oct. 3.
The club had gone 0-8-1 on the road following that victory, but got a goal from Brad Boyes in the first period on Saturday, one from Brian Campbell and Tomas Kopecky in the second and a fourth from Jonathan Huberdeau in the final frame.
Tim Thomas made 32 saves for his 200th career win and Tom Gilbert had three assists.
"We didn't commit many turnovers and we kept the puck deep in their zone," Gilbert said.
The Panthers will play the third of a five-game road trip tonight and could stay with Thomas in net. He has had success in his career versus the Canucks, going 3-1-0 with a 1.26 GAA in four regular-season meetings.
He also helped the Boston Bruins knock off the Canucks in the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals, notching a pair of shutouts and winning the Conn Smythe Trophy.
