These packages came on a good day as after going shopping I had to go down to Houghton Regis which is in Bedfordshire to see the headstone which had gone back on my parent's Grave as had my mum's details added to it so while I am pleased that everything is now settled it is still sad that both have gone.
I went to see my two brothers to let them know that the headstone is now back & to give them details ect of final accounts of my mum's estate not that there really was a estate but that how they say it the headstone does look very nice & it was nice seeing my brothers as I don't always see them when I go down.

I think that already happened at one of the cons. There's a joke about it in one of the DW books, something like "the schism of 10:15am". Apparently it was pretty ugly, at least, that's the story I was told.

While I was going through my fabric I decided I have enough odd-sized pieces of fabric to make a fall-ish quilt. It's definitely full of a big variety of fabrics, but it makes it fun so I'm going with it. I decided on a tumbler quilt after I saw Nettie's.
I used the Accuquilt Go Cutter to cut the tumbler shapes and it went together easy. There's no doubt this is one colorful quilt!

New Parks Endowed Chair Seeks to Enhance SLU's Reputation Internationally
As the new Oliver L. Parks Chair in Engineering, Phillip Ligrani, Ph.D., plans to lift SLU's Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology to new heights. With a focus on expanding the University's international presence, Ligrani will continue to develop SLU's reputation as a global leader in engineering and aviation.
Ligrani joined the University this fall as the director of graduate programs in Parks College and was formally invested as the endowed chair on Sept. 16. He also teaches as a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering within the college.
|Phillip Ligrani, Ph.D., already has fostered closer relations between SLU and Inje University in South Korea. Photo by Jeremiah Ingram
Recognized globally for his contributions to the field, Ligrani last month was appointed Distinguished Advisory Professor at Inje University in South Korea. The appointment will foster closer relations and academic exchanges between SLU and Inje University, and to further provide arrangements to support research collaborations.
"SLU has an outstanding engineering program, but that doesn't mean there isn't room to grow," Ligrani said. "I believe that research collaborations like our partnership with Inje University will not only provide great opportunities for learning, but also distinguish Parks College as one of the top engineering and aviation programs in the world."
Ligrani is no stranger to the international stage. As one of the most respected experts in engineering, Ligrani has presented lectures and keynote papers at many locations around the world, including China, Korea, France, Germany, England, Belgium, Croatia, the Ukraine, and the United States.
"Ligrani's international reputation for excellence makes him the perfect fit for the Oliver L. Parks Chair," said Krishnaswamy Ravindra, Ph.D., interim dean of Parks College. "Like Oliver Parks who founded the college in 1927, Ligrani has the vision and enthusiasm to provide a stimulating environment for the growth of graduate programs in engineering and aviation. We anticipate great things under his leadership."
More about Ligrani
Before arriving at SLU, Ligrani was the Donald Schultz Professor of Turbomachinery at Oxford University, where he also served as director of the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre in Heat Transfer and Aerodynamics.
He also taught for 14 years at the University of Utah where he held several positions including professor of mechanical engineering, adjunct professor of bioengineering, director of the Convective Heat Transfer Laboratory and associate chair of the department of mechanical engineering. Ligrani was honored with the department's "Professor of the Year" award in 1995 for outstanding classroom instruction. He has also received the NASA Space Act Tech Brief Award for "Development of Subminiature Multi-Sensor Hot-Wire Probes" and the Carl E. and Jessie W. Menneken Faculty Award for Excellence in Scientific Research.
In addition, Ligrani has secured numerous research funding awards including grants from The National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy, various industrial entities, and NASA. Widely published, he has authored or co-authored more than 133 journal articles, seven book chapters and 85 conference publications.
Ligrani earned his master's and doctoral degrees in mechanical engineering at Stanford University. He earned his bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering at the University of Texas at Austin.
About the Parks Chair
The Oliver L. Parks Chair is named for aviation pioneer Oliver Lafayette Parks (1899-1985). In 1927, he founded the nation's first federally certified flight school - Parks Air College -and is credited for helping to raise the standards for the amount and quality of training that student pilots were required to complete to earn commercial pilot certification. Parks donated the air college to Saint Louis University in 1946.
Today, SLU's Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology has a worldwide reputation for aviation and aerospace engineering programs and is a leader in biomedical, electrical, mechanical and other engineering disciplines.

Not All Flip-Flops Are Created Equal
Mitt Romney isn't the first candidate to flip his positions in the service of national ambitions, but there's something dramatic about the speed and velocity of his transformation. As The Wall Street Journal details in this excellent piece, Romney ran for governor as a liberal –- he promised to defend the state's abortion laws and provide domestic partnership benefits and then offered himself as a voice for moderation within the Republican Party. Once elected, he continued on that path, signing a state ban on assault weapons and closing a coal power plant under the rationale that private industry shouldn't have carte blanche to release dangerous fumes into the air.
This all changed in 2005, when Romney began to position himself for a run in the 2008 Republican presidential primary. By the end of the year, he had reversed himself on everything from abortion to climate change, even going as far as to demonize same-sex residents of Massachusetts to out-of-state audiences, in order to build his credibility with social conservatives. "Today, same-sex couples are marrying under the law in Massachusetts," Mr. Romney told South Carolina Republicans. "Some are actually having children born to them."
On Twitter, Politico's Ben Smith compared this to Barack Obama's political change in the early part of the 2000s, as he prepared his run for national office. The Obama of the 1990s was considerably more left-wing than the Obama of 2008, or even 2004: He supported public financing of campaigns, domestic partnership legislation, a living wage, single-payer health care, and Medicaid funding for abortion. Likewise, he opposed capital punishment, mandatory sentencing, and restrictions on welfare benefits.
Of course, not all ideological repositioning is the same. Even with his more liberal views, the younger Obama was already in line with the views of Democratic activists and just a stone's throw away from the Democratic mainstream. The distance between where he was and where he needed to be—the center-left of American politics—was pretty short. By contrast, Mitt Romney was leagues away from the mainstream of Republican politics –- his move to the right was of a far greater magnitude than Obama's move to the center.
The problem for Romney is that having made a huge flip to the right wing, he has to make a comparable flop back to the center. Will voters care that he's traversed the entire ideological spectrum in less than a decade? If the economy is terrble, probably not. But if the fundamentals look good for Obama—or at least, OK—then the public might be less forgiving of his gross inconsistency.

I trust Mitt Romney because his life-long personal actions support his commitment to conservative values. He respects all segments of society and will treat everyone fairly even though he may not agree with them. I trust his ability and commitment to getting our economy moving. Mitt Romney has the qualities to become one of America's finest presidents.

The only way Romney can avoid daily charges of flip- flopping is to read his positions from 3 by 5 cards when asked a question. Then, the media will criticize his clothes or his intonation. Plastic, robotic, inauthentic, no core etc. are a few of their favorite adjectives. Of course those are code words for the real words, "Mormon" and "not a far right winger." The daily Obama attack machine, assisted by a pliant media will aid and support the Evangelical and far right in theeir destruction of Romney until the general election when the media would be able to turn on and destroy their candidate (just like they did McCain). America wants and needs proven competence and problem solving abilities in their President. As America destroys itself with economic illiterates running the show,isn't it time for someone with a proven track record of turning things around?
Sun, 2011-11-13 02:48
As a lifelong conservative, I don't find Mitt Romney to have been that liberal as a Governor on much other than Abortion. He promised that he would protect abortion rights as Governor and he kept that promise. But his fiscal policies were very conservative. He slashed spending. As far as gay issues, conservatives have been supporting domestic partnerships for years now as a compromise against gay marriage. Romney has never supported gay marriage. It's intellectually dishonest for this author to paint him as a liberal. Obama was a radical before he ran for office (and probably still is, at heart). Romney has slid to the right, but at least he's never been on the fringe of American politics. He's always been a centrist.

Nox-Audio Scout HSM001A0 Headset (Black)

" These were the first IEMs I bought that were over 50$ after reading good reviews on it. Unfortunately I don't think they live up to the hype.

"These are solid IEM's. I've owned mine for about 2 years and they're still working. They're showing serious wear, but still working. They are decent at low volumes but the bright mid-range and grainy, sharp treble is tough to listen to a lot of music through. The newer versions of the S4 seem to be an improvement. The bass is decent, but lacks extension and is a bit wild. Definitely bleeding..." --phillyd

Amy Dunaway-Haney has been recognized by the Ohio Foreign Language Association (OFLA) as Ohio's 2012 World Language Teacher of the Year. In early March, she represented Ohio in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at the regional World Language Teacher of the Year competition.
The contest is sponsored by the Central States Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, a regional organization for foreign language teachers that encompasses 17 states from Colorado to Ohio. The winner of this competition goes on to represent the Central States Region in the national World Language Teacher of the Year competition, held in conjunction with the annual convention of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL).
Dunaway-Haney is a past recipient of the OFLA's Leona Glenn Award for Outstanding High School World Language Teacher, which is awarded annually at the OFLA conference. In 2010, she was a co-recipient of the OFLA Technology Award. In 2005, she was honored as a Wal Mart Teacher of the Year in 2005, and in 2006, as a Disney Teacher of the Year.
In 2010, she earned National Board Certification. Dunaway-Haney and her colleagues have a written a number of books that include activities, games, speaking and writing activities, and culture for elementary through advanced students. She says that she is proudest of working with pre-service teachers in all languages, and works to maintain the relationships with those teachers. She continues to collaborate with them on pen pal programs, travel, presentations and language immersion days. Dunaway-Haney is an accomplished presenter on topics ranging from music to grammar. One of her presentations last year was named Best of Central States, and she traveled to Denver to present it at the ACTFL annual convention.
During an interview with author Mike Roberts as part of "One-On-One with America's Most Inspiring Teachers," she said, "I feel like I was born with the desire to be a teacher. Next to parenting, teaching is the second most important job. A teacher has to have the desire to educate and inspire students. Effective teachers never stop trying, and they never give up. What they are doing is too important!"

SuperStar Barbie® Doll #9720
The regular version of this doll was about the same as the preceding year's #9720, but this promotional issue had a different outfit and came with a free hair comb. The long, slinky, striped glitter knit gown came in either silver-on-rose or an all raspberry version. Silvery sequins were used to accent the neckline and to form the doll's evening turban. The doll also had a white marabou stole, rose SuperStar shoes, and "diamond" earrings, necklace, and ring.

This colonial structure was built from 1671 to 1677 and is an indulgence in baroque details with strong influences from indigenous or colonial art. A skylight above the Golden Altar illuminates it with daylight.
The altar is not actually golden, but made of mahogany wood covered with gold leaf in the 18th century Baroque style. The church itself is a historic gem; of its 3 naves, the left one has 4 windows that were made in Florence, Italy and installed in 1963, representing Saint Rita of Cascia, St. Augustine, Our Lady of Consolation, and St. Joseph.
When the decision was made to relocate the city to what is now the Old Town area, the friars of the Order of Augustinian Recollects decided to move their church to the new town. The convent and church were inaugurated in 1675, as visitors can read above the main entrance.
The Golden Altar is shrouded in legend. Tradition has it that this altar was one of the few things to survive the English pirate Henry Morgan's attack in 1671, when he sacked and burned Panama City; however, studies on the style of the altarpiece date it to the 18th century, which puts this version of the story in question.
According to the legend, when Morgan attacked and burned the city now known as Old Panama, the order of St. Joseph was constructing a stone church on the outskirts, near Puente del Rey. The church at that time already exhibited its high altar, the greatest golden treasure of the time.
It is said that at the time of the looting, a monk named John from Villa de Los Santos was in charge of the church. Warned of the impending attack, he covered the golden altar with a black oily mixture of albayalde (silver oxide) that would make it appear unfinished. When Morgan arrived at the church he grumbled about the Order's poverty, and so monk John begged him for alms, on the order of a thousand ducats, in order to complete the altar. The story goes that, after a long laugh, Morgan exclaimed, "This layperson is more of a pirate than I am," and ordered for the money to be given to the monk.
The images one can see on the Golden Altar are of St. Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus Christ; St. Thomas of Villa Nueva, on the top right; Saint Clara of the Cross of Montefalco, top left; St. Augustine below St. Clara; and Our Lady of Consolation, holding the baby Jesus on her lap. Above the altarpiece and within a circle is the Eternal Father, his head framed in a triangle symbolizing the Trinity. With his right hand he blesses the world, while the left hand holds a scale, symbol of Justice supporting the Universe.
Come to St. Joseph Church and let yourself be enveloped in the history and legend of the Golden Altar.

In June 2011, Planning Commission and City Council approved a zoning text amendment permitting A-frame signs as an allowed use in the zoning ordinance for eligible retail and restaurant owners in the Old Town Central Business District. All current and prospective permit holders will need to complete a new application (posted below) and fabricate a new sign that complies with requirements. Prior to completing the new application, please review the A-Frame Quick Guide below and call the contacts below with any questions.
Planning & Zoning staff are available to answer questions regarding the program and the application process, please contact staff at 703.746.4333.
On November 25, 2008, the Alexandria City Council voted to adopt an emergency ordinance to establish a pilot program to allow temporary portable signs alerting King Street pedestrians to restaurant and retail-oriented businesses in the Central Business District (generally located between Duke and Queen Streets, east of West Street, in Old Town) but not located on King Street. On October 27, 2009, City Council unanimously voted to extend the ordinance allowing the temporary portable signs in Old Town until June 2011. On June 28, 2011, City Council adopted an ordinance to include the A-Frame sign program in the City's Zoning Ordinance.

if i could fix it,
1. push young, hungry, homegrown talent, let older established stars take a step back and put these goes over in a clean way, NO more legends knocking themselves out on a steel chair.
2. stop spending so much on one off c-list celebrity appearances, they don't work
3. tone down the storylines, they over exaggerate and come across like that south park episode
4. take hogan off tv, he doesn't do anything except waste time. use him in a behind the scenes role occasionally have him make an appearance, if he knows as much about building a company as he claims, use him for that primarily
5. less gimmick matches, more actual wrestling. when gimmick matches finally do appear, they are more appreciated not overkilled (this counts double for wager matches)
6. officially change to Impact Wrestling because the "Total Non-stop Action" name sucks.

In our last installment on Scarlett, our '72 coupe project, we shoehorned in a fire-breathing LS3 stroker motor that should rocket the former small-block car to far quicker times while reducing weight and adding a little bump in fuel economy, thanks to the EFI. With the 600-plus-horsepower 416 bolted in place, it's now time to let it breathe by installing the exhaust system. Even if I'd wanted to keep the headers, pipes, and mufflers that were on the old 350, the switch to an LS required a different header-primary configuration. And besides, the extra airflow from the bigger, hotter motor was going to need more than a pair of 2.25-inch pipes to breathe through.
Considering both the power and the general audacity of the shark body style, I decided early on that the car would need sidepipes—and not the shielded factory ones, either. While there's absolutely nothing wrong with that look, Scarlett's inspiration comes from the early road-race C3s, which frequently eschewed both factory sidepipes and undercar exhaust for OK Kustom side-mount headers, the design of which lives on in Hooker's sidepipes (which unfortunately are only available for conventional small- and big-block applications). Featuring four primary tubes that exit the underside of the car just behind the front wheel and dump into a single, exposed collector, the bundle-of-snakes look is both classic and unmistakably aggressive.
"In for a penny, in for a pound" is a pretty good way to describe building a car, not least because the further you get, the more things tend to cost. The pipes were no exception. As of this writing, several companies are beginning to make a side-mount-style header for LS conversions, but at the time we got this project underway, the only ones in regular production were from Stainless Headers Mfg. Made in 304 stainless steel, beautifully bent and welded, they're absolutely gorgeous, especially in the polished finish we ordered. They look the business on the side of a chrome-bumper shark—and they're priced accordingly.
The good news is that a fair amount of R&D goes into the Stainless Headers sidepipes. For example, the narrowing where the primaries enter the collector isn't there for looks, but actually increases power. The headers themselves were designed with input from Street Shop's Tray Walden so that they will fit both a factory frame (such as Scarlett's) as well as Street Shop's aftermarket chassis. They can also be had with bungs welded in for an O2 sensor, which you'll need for an LS conversion.
Since we're performing our conversion at Street Shop (and since they're a dealer for Stainless Headers), we ordered the pipes through them. The system came well-packaged, with both the headers and the separate sidepipes. The pipes allegedly came with a "muffler insert" in place, but I can say confidently that what's tack-welded in the pipe may be an insert, but it ain't a muffler. The part of me that loves the churning snarl of a big-inch engine through open sidepipes will have to hear it before we change it, but I see something quieter getting stuffed into those pipes before all is said and done.
Since I've learned to work under the assumption that everything has to be done at least three times, we started the installation by wrapping the headers and pipes carefully to protect them, and then installing the headers, without the sidepipes, while the car was up on the lift. They have to go in from the bottom, and while the job isn't terribly hard, there's a little moving around required to get them oriented correctly. Once they were bolted in place, we lowered the car to the ground and slipped the pipes onto the rear of the collectors, using a rubber mallet to tap them forward into place.
Having the pipes fitted also gave us a chance to assess how best to bolt them on. Each one has a pair of tabs that pass beneath the rocker moulding and bolt to the car, and each tab has a hole that should more or less align with one the few holes in the frame. After examining the frame holes, we chose to weld in a threaded insert that would let us run a bolt through the hole in the tab and directly into the insert. This obviated the need to fish a bolt through and hold it in place while attempting to tighten a nut on it.
Walden first double checked the hole locations, and then I hit the area around the holes with a sander to prepare it to be welded. A shower of sparks and a little bright-blue light later, and we had inserts welded in. Once they had cooled, I ground the welds back close to flush with the frame and applied some black spray paint to protect against corrosion.
One of the other things I learned from our initial header mock-up is that the primary tubes hit the rocker moulding where they passed under it on their way to the outside of the car. Accordingly, we were going to need to trim both the moulding and the fiberglass beneath it to make room. The keen-eyed reader will have noticed that since the sidepipes run the length of the car and bolt into place beneath the moulding, they have to be installed before the moulding can go on. As you might imagine, it can be tricky to ease this piece into place behind the pipes without scratching the paint.
For the initial install, though, we left the moulding in place and used a Sharpie to mark where the primary tubes contacted it. (Neither the sidepipes nor their mounting tabs interfered with the moulding.) With that done, I unbolted the headers and unscrewed the rocker moulding, noting how much of the fiberglass underneath it would need to be trimmed. Since that part of the fiberglass is concealed behind the moulding, I simply cut it straight across using an air-powered cutoff wheel and a reciprocating saw (aka wheelie cutter). Lest this seem indiscriminate, remember also that these pipes get hot, and having a little extra clearance around them reduces the risk of fire.
Again using a wheelie cutter, I then cut the moulding, removing the portion of the aluminum that contacted the tubes and leaving about a 0.25-inch clearance around them. I finished by cleaning up the cuts with a grinding wheel so the resultant cutout loosely followed the contour of the pipes. After checking everything, Walden and I bolted the headers back in place using a multilayer steel gasket and stainless-steel header bolts, smearing a little anti-seize on the bolts prior to assembly to protect the threads in the aluminum heads. While most of them are easy to access, note that the one farthest back, by the number-seven cylinder, is really tight.
With the headers in place, the next order of business was to install the O2 sensor bung. Since our pipes came without bungs (fortunately we had a couple on hand), that meant going through the wiring harness and instructions for our FAST XFI computer and verifying that we would only be using one sensor, then slipping the sidepipes back into place to locate the hole for the bung that the sensor would screw into.
Since the purpose of the sensor is to provide feedback to the computer running the fuel injection, it needs to be located where it will get the best mix of all four cylinders on the bank feeding into the collector. Instead of placing it in the collector itself—where we'd run the risk of only reading data from one of the four cylinders—we situated it farther back in the pipe.
After deciding to use the passenger side for the sensor (it'll be closest to the computer there), Walden carefully marked the hole location, removed the pipe, drilled the hole, and welded the bung in place. After it all cooled, we screwed in the O2 sensor and slipped the pipes back onto the collectors. Since the pipes tend to run a little "downhill" as they head aft, we then used a floor jack to carefully raise them at the rear until the tabs lined up with their holes and the pipes could be bolted into place.
After carefully snaking the moulding in behind the pipes and installing the trim screws, what was once a relatively demure-looking bumper car was starting to look like something else entirely. Now it's time to get the 416 wired and plumbed, so we can hear that beast howl at the moon.
01 We ordered our Stainless Headers Mfg. LS-conversion pipes through Street Shop. The polished 304 stainless pipes are beautifully made, and the purge TIG welding on the flange is a sight to behold.
02 The attention to detail isn't limited to the things that you can see. Note the smoothness of the inside of the collector, where there's nothing to disrupt the flow of the hot exhaust gases as they leave the motor.
03 The sidepipes came with "muffler inserts" tack-welded in place. I'll have to hear them before I make a final decision, but I'll bet the local noise ordinance will necessitate the installation of something a little more restrictive before it's all over with.
04 The sidepipes are mounted to the car using a pair of brackets that bolt to the frame beneath the rocker moulding. The nut is actually a threaded insert that will be welded into a hole in the frame to ease assembly.
05 Although we mocked up the first header install without them, for the final installation we used a multi-layer steel gasket. We also put antiseize on the header bolts to protect the threads in the aluminum heads.
06 The rearmost trim screw on each rocker moulding mounts through this fiberglass tab that hangs beneath the body. Don't be surprised if one or both of them are hanging on by the proverbial thread when you get the moulding off. Ours will be glassed back into place.
07 For the first test fit, we wrapped the headers with protective foam, then slipped them up underneath the car and bolted them into place.
08 It didn't take long to figure out that the primary tubes were hitting the aluminum rocker moulding and the fiberglass beneath it. With both the headers and moulding in place, we used a Sharpie to mark the moulding to show where we would need to cut it for clearance.
09 Also during our test fit, we used a rubber mallet to tap the sidepipes onto the rear of the headers to verify fit. This allowed us to check the alignment of their mounting tabs and corresponding frame holes as well.
10 With that done, we dropped the headers to cut away the fiberglass they were contacting. This is the driver's side, where we removed pretty much all the black portion, some of which is backed with metal.
11 Here's the passenger side, showing where we trimmed the 'glass using an air-powered cutoff wheel and reciprocating saw. Since this area won't be visible with the rocker moulding in place, we cut it straight across.

When you think of the words "Kinsler fuel injection," your mind probably recalls the mechanical injection setups of the 1960s and '70s--those ubiquitous isolated-runner systems with ram tubes for each cylinder. They were of the constant-flow variety and offered more-precise fuel metering and easier adjustability when compared with carburetors of the same era.
Corvette racers like John Greenwood popularized mechanical injection in road racing, where low-profile, cross-ram-type injection systems aided aerodynamics by allowing lower hood profiles. And while the increasing prevalence of big-bore throttle bodies mounted on composite intake manifolds may make the old-school FI setups seem archaic, Kinsler has remained at the forefront of technology with electronic injection systems for even the newest LS engines.
Combining the vintage cross-ram look with a modern LS foundation would make a great combination for a 21st-century, pro-touring-style midyear Vette. At least, that was Tom Coleman's thought when he suggested it to customer Joe Henderson. Coleman is the proprietor of Ashe-ville, North Carolina's The Winning Collection, a top-notch restoration facility with deep racing roots. Henderson is an Ashville-based sports-car enthusiast with Ferraris and Porsches in his stable. He brought a '67 Corvette roadster to The Winning Collection, asking for the classic body to be stretched over a more contemporary drivetrain.
"Joe wanted the car to start, run, and drive like any modern car, but do so with that classic Corvette style," says Coleman. "A carbureted big-block might have been the easy way to go, but electronic fuel injection accommodates the varying air that comes with driving in the mountains around Asheville."
Having used Katech Performance engines on other projects, Coleman turned to the Michigan-based company for the engine-building chores on Henderson's project. And such a unique engine combination wouldn't rely on just any off-the-rack LS cylinder block, either. Rather, Katech started with one of its own billet-aluminum units.
You read that correctly. Katech offers its own LS block milled out of a chunk--a big chunk--of aluminum. That doesn't make it the most economical piece on the market, but the Katech block was designed to meet the strength and durability requirements of high-horsepower engines. More importantly, it enables a larger displacement than any other production-based aluminum LS block: 500 cubic inches.
"It's got big-block displacement and power, but it weighs more than 100 pounds less than an iron cylinder block," says Coleman.
Henderson's engine starts with a 500-inch short-block, is filled with Katech's basic Street Attack 500 components--an all-forged rotating assembly, custom camshaft, and deep-breathing LS7 cylinder heads--and, to cap it all off, draws air through that trick-looking Kinsler injection system.
"The Kinsler was my idea," says Coleman. "It works great, and it looks even better for a car of this caliber."
And the engine's dyno results are as impressive as the engine is eye-popping: 701 horses and 677 lb-ft of torque.
"It makes great power that's usable in all driving conditions," says Katech's Jason Harding. "It was the first 500-inch engine we built with the Kinsler system, and we were very pleased with how well it worked with our basic Street Attack 500 engine components."
Keep in mind that this engine was designed for the street, too, so the roller camshaft balances performance with good idle quality. An 11.1:1 compression ratio means fill-ups require strict adherence to premium gas, but it's definitely a pump-gas engine.

If there's a way to appease the metal gods, Tim Schafer, the mind behind Brutal Legend, may have done it.
Brutal Legend is the game director's vision of rock and metal, using an unsung hero (a roadie) as the vehicle to explore a fully realized, almost Nordic world built around the mythos of the music.
But while this game showcases Schafer's and Double Fine's considerable gifts for producing comedic, edgy wonder (remember Psychonauts), it's also an example of what can happen when there are one too many gameplay styles. The result is an experience that falls just a bit short of legendary status.

MACCLESFIELD Town have alleged that one of their players was racially abused after an FA Cup tie against Barrow AFC.
Right back Ryan Jackson was allegedly the target of racist abuse from a Barrow AFC player after yesterday's second round FA Cup replay.
Macclesfield Town chief executive John Harris confirmed this morning that the incident, which was alleged to have happened in the tunnel, had been reported to police and the referee, Phil Gibbs.
Mr Harris said: "We are very disappointed that this has overshadowed an excellent performance on the pitch, but we remain staunchly opposed to all forms of racism, which we believe has no place in football, or indeed anywhere.
"The club are aware that the matter has been reported to both the police and the FA and will offer both it's fullest support in dealing with the matter."
Barrow AFC director/secretary Russell Dodd told the Evening Mail that police had said no action would be taken.
However the club are awaiting the referee's report.
In the initial fixture, the Silkmen's captain Nat Brown alleged that he had been racially abused by a fan at Holker Street. An investigation by police and the FA is continuing.
The tie was held at Macclesfield's Moss Rose ground, with the Bluebirds exiting the competition after suffering a 4-1 defeat.

Have your say
Make you mind up Mr Brown 1st its the fans then the players!! The only person not being accused s the ref!! As for the manager hearing Barrow fans chant monkey at him maybe we could look at the video evidance from the game because from my recolection he never even walked out the tunnel with him? Personally its easy for none white players to play the race card these days? Just ask Mark Clattenberg !
In response to the post posted by "Nelson mandella", he needs to be informed that the EDL are a bunch of racist thugs who periodicly turn up in city centres in the UK chanting racist slogans.
In Stoke in 2010 they assembled in the city centre & went on a racist rampage smashing up cars & shops.
They have also set fire to mosques, physically attacked trade union meetings, Asian people & anyone with a left-wing political stance.
So with those few facts in mind, you should dis-associate from anyone pandering to the EDL.
And they should not be allowed into football grounds.
An old saying" if you have a racist friend, it is time for that relationship to end".
Think on!

Step-by-Step Guide to Dining Out with Food Allergies
See Related: Allergic Living's Guide to Smart Dining [Read more]
Missing out on great restaurant evenings with friends? Learn how you, too, can indulge.
Step 1: Before You Go
Know your condition: Do your homework: learn, in detail, what you can't eat, where an offending protein hides, the multiple names for it, and names for it in key languages. If you have shellfish allergy, the French bistro menu may refer to fruits de mer. Hint: they aren't fruits. Nuoc mam pha? Sounds lovely but it's Vietnamese fish sauce. Sodium caseinate? Dairy. Durum? That's wheat. (Look up specific allergies and celiac disease at Allergicliving.com, and see left panel links for "hidden peanut", "hidden milk", "hidden gluten", etc.)
Carry your meds: Allergists recommend epinephrine as the first-line medication for a food allergy reaction. Having an auto-injector with you is especially important whenever you plan to eat, since anaphylaxis can come on swiftly after consuming the wrong food. Consider that restaurant reaction horror stories almost always occur because the patron did not have an auto-injector on hand. Also have a food allergy action plan on you: in your purse, backpack or as a pdf on your smartphone. (See American and Canadian plans.)
Restaurant card: I recommend bringing a chef or food allergy card. These explain your allergies and the types of foods they are found in. Top chefs have told me that these can mean the difference between clarity and confusion in the kitchen. Find them at Selectwisely.com or Allergytranslation.com.
The right attitude: Let's get you psychologically prepared to dine out. Your mental equipment includes: an approachable demeanor, a genuine smile and lots of pleases and thank yous. These will get you far at a restaurant. Conversely, anger or threatening language or behavior will get you nowhere fast. You will be pleasantly surprised by what a positive frame of mind will bring.
Step 2: Picking the Restaurant
It's time to choose a restaurant. At this phase, if any information you collect doesn't feel right, take your business elsewhere.
Preview the menu: When considering a restaurant, first look up the website; almost all restaurants post their menus. Are there dishes that appear to be safe or could be made safe with a few adjustments? Does the menu say, "Please tell your server if you have any allergies?" Is there a website tab with a description of how the kitchen handles dietary restrictions? Is there an ingredient or nutrition tab? Does the restaurant have a gluten-free menu, or a special diet menu for allergies?
Read the chef bio or "about us" section – does the restaurant pride itself on its hospitality? That's what you are looking for: an establishment that caters to all of its guests; is clear about its allergen policy; perhaps has a special menu and indicates the staff there understand food allergies or celiac disease.
Call ahead: This is crucial, and restaurants truly appreciate it. Speak with the highest person in charge you can reach: the general manager, chef or owner. Don't settle for a host. Introduce yourself and get the person's name. That person represents the restaurant; you're looking for a knowledgeable, courteous, informed representative. If you receive pushback, such as the manager promises to call you back but never does, I'd move on to another restaurant.
What to say: When you speak to a chef or manager, say you have food allergies (or celiac disease). Find two sentences that spell out your needs succinctly. Mine are: "I'm severely allergic to all nuts, fish and shellfish. Is this something the chef feels comfortable handling?" You may get a "no" here. That's OK, it's information too and just saved you a trip. But presuming the conversation continues, use your pleases and thank yous, be your nicest self. Ask for assistance. Most restaurants will be happy to help if they can accommodate you. However, if the restaurant representative seems confused about your needs ("Gluten is sugar, right?"), too vague ("I guess you'll be OK") or rude ("The chef doesn't speak to patrons"), then move on to the next restaurant on your list.
Reserve, with reservations: If you've now received a green light, great. Make your reservation but remember, you still have work to do once you're there. Book on the early side if you can, when the kitchen and staff aren't as busy and can focus on your needs. Try to dine on a quieter night, at least for the first time at a restaurant.

Jan Van Quirm wrote:I know some Pagans pretty well (quel surprise! ) and in fact it's a very broad church and probably more like buddhism in that it does take much account of nature and it's seasons, treating the world and inhabitants with respect and geared to finding your own path. True that Wiccans are more organised than some of the others, but it's not too prescriptive.
The parts that give it a bad name ('voodoo' dolls or wicker men) are in general those that early christians mucked about with, or were geared towards the punishment of criminals and not sacrificial as such, although there was ritualisation when offering animal tribute to the gods (who were far less trashy than the Greek variety for instance).
As a lifestyle white witching equates to Magrat (as Queen not Maid) and Nanny. Best of all it doesn't try to boss you about too much on who you can love and how to live - it's the oldest of philosophies and therefore it's not surprising that it generally attracts intelligent adults who don't like being treated like idiots or babies.
My partner is a Wiccan is this is very much what she loves about it. I myself was raised Christian but now don't really know what I am. I respect howw I was raised and love the church as a solomn plaace to go but I also have a lot of respect for nature and the Wiccan/Pagan. Saying that I do believe really in science and nature at the moment.

Thomas Barnes and Kent Taylor are two Secret Service agents assigned to protect President Ashton at a landmark summit on the global war on terror. When President Ashton is shot moments after his arrival in Spain, chaos ensues and disparate lives collide in the hunt for the assassin.

You can find out more about NPF's National Medical Director, Dr. Michael S. Okun, by also visiting the NPF Center of Excellence, University of Florida Center for Movement Disorders & Neurorestoration. Dr. Okun is also the author of the Amazon #1 Parkinson's Best Seller 10 Secrets to a Happier Life.
There are many great mysteries and unanswered questions surrounding the potential causes of Parkinson's disease. One of the most important and most studied is, "why are only a minority of cases caused by a single genetic abnormality?" One famous researcher from California coined the phrase, "the genes load the gun, and the environment pulls the trigger" (Judith Stern, UC Davis). Many Parkinson's disease researchers have refocused their efforts to attempt to identify potential environmental triggers. One researcher at Rutgers, Dr. Bennett, following her experience post-Katrina was inspired. The gaseous smells and molds seemed to make her sick. Fast-forward several years and Dr. Bennett (who later moved to New Jersey) collaborating with researchers from Emory University in Atlanta GA took a closer look at the fungus association in Parkinson's disease.
Most of the environmental risk factors described as being important to Parkinson's disease have been man-made chemicals, but Bennett and her colleagues decided to focus on a naturally occurring cause; mold. They honed in on semiochemical 1-octen-3-ol which is a fungus known to reduce dopamine levels and kill dopamine cells in flies. The researchers in a series of unique experiments showed a relationship of the fungus to development of Parkinson's disease in flies, and also showed this finding in cell lines manufactured from humans. The researchers even developed a way to rescue the flies and protect them from the fungus. The authors hypothesize that semiochemical 1-octen-3-ol is a naturally occurring environmental agent that may spark the degeneration leading to Parkinson's disease. Their findings appear in this month's issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
Though tempting to over-interpret these findings, we must consider that these studies were not performed in awake and behaving humans, and it will therefore take time to confirm their validity and clinical significance. However, it is intriguing to ponder that there may be common and naturally occurring environmental toxins that if avoided may decrease the risk of the development of Parkinson's disease. We will continue to follow this story and to post any updates on the National Parkinson Foundation website.
