WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- You cherish your smartphone, but not the bill.
"I'd like to choke. It's very high," says one wireless customer.
Another customer says, "My bill? Outrageously high."
Republic Wireless, a new cell phone service provider, promises unlimited data for just $19 a month.
You can talk, text and email all you want, even surf the web. The concept behind this wireless plan.
"Republic Wireless makes it easy for you to make calls over Wi-Fi instead of cellular. Ultimately, this saves them money and you money," says Dave Toner.
Toner, a Consumer Reports tester, did find switching back and forth from Wi-Fi to cellular service a bit tedious.
If you're talking to someone, the person has to wait while you make a call to switch the service, then continue the conversation.
Republic offers only the Motorola Defy X-T, an android smartphone priced at $259.
Pricey for a phone that's not top-of-the-line. It's only 3G, so the cellular service will not get the fastest Internet connections.
But, it does have acceptable voice quality and a decent camera.
"It's great if you're still carrying around an old flip phone and haven't upgraded because of high data costs. It's also good if you live in an area with spotty cellular coverage or if you're a college student and have access to a Wi-Fi network all over campus," Toner says.
For a fairly basic smartphone and service, Republic can be a real money saver.
Consumer Reports says that you can use Republic's tactics to save on your cell-phone bill no matter what carrier you use.
Switch to Wi-Fi coverage from cellular service when you are at home or the office to avoid going over your plans data allotment.

Can someone with more experience with gmail and zimbra proof my thinking here?
I'd like to migrate my outlook 2003 pst based stack of emails to google apps (google for domains). I believe the google-email-uploader tool will copy all of the pst based emails to gmail, and create labels for the various folders I have created.
On my other gmail accounts I've only made light use of labels but I can get used to how they're different from the outlook folders. I now see that a recommended way to use gmail is to categorize emails via labels and then archive them; more or less parallel to how folders work in outlook. That way the inbox has less of a load; but everything is still there and available via the labels and All Mail. To date though I've archived almost nothing in my inbox.
So an issue I've read about here is that zimbra desktop does not replicate the All Mail folder, for reasons stated in the faq. So what's the best practice? Is the fact that zimbra desktop does not have an All Mail folder is so important? ZD seems to synch the labeled emails pretty well.
But since I've only used gmail in a superficial manner (for a couple years) and am very new to zimbra desktop, can anyone point out the gotchas? It'd be a real drag to move from outlook where all of my stuff is nicely organized in folders, to google apps and zimbra desktop, and then find that there was some serious issue with organizing messages in the new system.
One issue that may come up for me is that I have a lot of folders. I don't see how the realtively simple folder/label menu systems of zimbra desktop and gmail will be able to present such a deep stack of folders gracefully. It's hard enough with outlook.
zimbra desktop seems like a great solution. Thank you for making it available.

Jelena Dokic continued her dream run at the Aussie Open today.
The 25-year old, who already upset Anna Chavetadze earlier in the week, was at her aggressive best and shocked 11th seed Caroline Wozniacki (and me, truthfully) 3-6, 6-1, 6-2 in the tourney's third round cracking 31 winners to Wozzi's 16.
JD also defeated the rising Dane in the battle of the "O" face. I mean, seriously, you could fit Wozzi's entire head, racquet, and new-fangled adidas duds in that hole.
In any case, great win JD. Keep 'em coming!

Nice to see Jelena back playing well!ReplyDelete
- johanneJanuary 23, 2009 at 8:59 AM
Agh, so torn on this! Really wanted to see my Danish sistah come through, but I guess it was not meant to be :(ReplyDelete
Gots to give it up to Dokic, though. What a feel-good story!
It's so great - def the feel-good story. I honestly never thought she would defeat Wozzi, not for one second.ReplyDelete
Good for her for proving me (and prob a few others) SO wrong.
Me too, Rich! I'm previewing some of the matches from each day on my blog and I basically said that this match would show where Jelena's comeback really is at the moment, but I never really thought that she'd come through either.ReplyDelete
I've not checked the draw yet as my computer is crashing more often than not today - who does she play next?
Ana's conqueror Kleybanova!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 23, 2009 at 4:03 PM
I haven't seen Kleybanova play much, but who do you predict will win the Round of 16 clash between the two?ReplyDelete
I mean, for all those who go on about Kleybanova's extra baggage, it might work in Dokic's favour (because her penetrating groundstrokes and ability to change directions could probably tire out Kleybanova)
On the other hand, Kleybanova is pure power, so there is a chance she could blow Dokic off the court...
It's a tough call obvs. I think a big part of this is fitness - who's fitness is better after 3 matches?ReplyDelete
I'd give the edge to JD based on her experience and the fact that Kleybanova is seriously out of shape.
Also don't underestimate the crowd support for JD. It could push her through even if she's feeling a bit tired. They've been rooting for her hardcore so I think they'll help her through...
- Uvijek ArgenJanuary 23, 2009 at 8:35 PM
Who knew eh?? Sad for Caro of course,but she has a life ahead.ReplyDelete
Very happy with Dokic...dont care if she get eliminate to this point..its all GOOD : ) Ajde moja mala Lena : D
go Dokic! I'm so happy for her, suchReplyDelete
a tragic story with the lunatic father (he threatened to come to Australia if bits Wasi), so let's see if the drama occurs.
i so wish she bits Alisa!

All the wine tasting notes below were originally published on GrapeStories.
At the Wine Bloggers Conference every year, we have an event called Live Tasting. It's sort of like speed dating as all the bloggers in the room stay put for an hour and winemakers are given 5 minutes at each table to pour their wines and talk to us about anything they want. All the while, those of us on the blogging side are tasting, listening, asking questions and tweeting as if the fate of the world depended on it (clearly it doesn't, but it is a fun event).
For those of you not on Twitter and unable to see my tasting notes, I'm publishing them below, for both the red and white wine Live Tasting events. (NOTE: the notes are in reverse order, meaning the first wine on the list is actually the last wine we tasted and vice versa)
Red Wines
#9 in the Whole Foods Top Ten Summer Wine List - the NV Rosenblum Cellars Zinfandel Vintner's Cuvée XXXII.
Another short review...not much to say on this one. If you like a big, fruity, ripe, over-oaked Zinfandel, for around $10, this one is for you. For me, this is not my wine.
What Whole Foods has to say about the wine: At any summer barbecue, pop open a bottle of this classic Zin, with hints of raspberry that make it supple and so easy to drink. Kick back with a glass when you chow down on saucy beef and pork barbecue, pizzas or Buttermilk Blue cheese.
What you should do: Do not buy this wine. I've never been a fan of the lower-end Rosenblum wines and this one is not exception.
My rating: 82

Hi all,
I migrated to Zimbra after Thunderbird stopped being supported.
I've been using Zimbra as a desktop interface for Google Calendar, which I use for work and personal stuff.
I have noticed that when I create events where I list myself as "free," (meaning not busy), then they show up as very dim on the calendar. THat makes it hard to read. I know it's kind of picky, but I don't want to list e.g. birthdays as "busy" but still want them easy to read.
Does anyone have a way to make the free events show up brighter or more easy to see in some other way?

I live in a suburb of Kansas City, but my house backs up to about 5,000 acres of state forest that only allows a short, controlled archery and muzzleloader hunt. The woodlot grows some enormous bucks, and occasionally one shows up behind my fence. A few years back, I had a big 150" deer trying to attack my deer target that was leaning against the fence. And, about 5 years ago, a local took a picture of a buck that was rumored to possibly score higher than the current MO state record, which would put it in contention with the Hanson buck.
City deer get big!

See that? Doesn't it look like it's only two inverted buns with a sliver of ham between two slices of cheese? Well.. that's because it is two inverted buns with a sliver of ham between two slices of cheese.
Next Friday, McDonald's Japan will introduce the "McToast" to the public. From the looks of things, McDonalds has run out of ideas.
Although this sandwich looks tragically simple, it may not do so bad. The "McToast" holds quite a bit of resemblance to the French "Le Croque McDo" (picture below) which has done surprisingly well in Europe.
"Le Croque McDo" has done well by focusing on its simplicity. The website openly states that it is merely two slices of melted Swiss cheese, a slice of ham and toasted bread. It then points out, "It does not take more to be good."
Lets hope the simplicity, or laziness, of the "McToast" thrives just as well.

Corn Fritters 01
Just cut leftover corn off the cob and refrigerate! Use as a tasty addition to stir fry, cold salads, or for these little gems. Couldn't be easier to enjoy some of that delicious sweet corn for breakfast, lunch or supper!
1½ cups sweet corn kernels
1 pkg. Jiffy Corn muffin mix
1 egg, slightly beaten
½ cup milk
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drop heaping tablespoons of batter into the oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides, 1 – 1½ minutes per side. Drain fritters on a paper towel-lined plate and repeat until all the batter's gone.
Serve warm or room temperature, with a little maple syrup on the side or a sprinkle of powdered sugar on the top…great with fish or ham, as a side or a snack.

Ok I finally got the upgrade done this weekend. Only had a couple small issues but nothing that was a show stopper. For some reason after the upgrade i couldn't su to zimbra I checked anything that could be sourced as a path or env variable that might cause it to hang but nothing clicked. Basically I just rebooted after the upgrade and everything fixed itself
The only other thing was that the zimlets I had installed showed up in the admin console as being deployed but still had to be re-deployed in order for the client to see them (this may very well just be the nature of the upgrade though and not a glitch or error)
Other then that ... not a single issue. I've had more errors applying my own patches to code I've done
Awesome job guys!!

Kristen Stewart's kind of awk Vogue cover leaked last week, but wait! There's more! Again, I think Kristen gets picked on way more than she deserves, and I find her complete lack of fluency in Hollywood talking points a little tiny bit charming. That said, she might consider getting a new facial expression. Here are the outtakes from her shoot with Proenza Schouler's very cute Jack McCollough and equally cute Lazaro Hernandez, lensed by Mario Testino.

Ink is actually a lot better because you have to worry about toner flaking off on the folded edges with laser printed stuff.
Yurkie, I understand your concern, but I believe you are thinking of "crayon-based" toner media, like that which is used in older Tektronix Phaser printing... the first thing I said when I opened my Mario Bros. box was, "Ugh! They used a Tektronix Phaser!" And I totally agree with you about the "flakiness" (no pun intended) which was particularly evident on the cart label. Matter of fact, I was forced to tear off my Mario Bros. cart label when the PCB dislodged and became stuck up inside the cart body. I re-created the label like-for-like on high-quality HP LaserJet media. To this day, there is absolutely no flaking there. (By the way, let me know if you need another label for that title)!
I've been working with high quality laser media for quite some years, and the HP LaserJet toner exhibits absolutely no flaky toner. And to answer your question... if there were any flaking going on, the answer is YES. My UV-protective coating would thwart that 100%.
Yep! ... and that's why I'm thinking using Greg's services if the quality is as good as my latest boxes...and hopefully better!
Greg would also handle US shipping for CollectorVision games... wich will make things 1000X faster!

Defined by Nature. Led by Science. It's not just a tagline, it's a promise.
Elemis is developed for professional treatments and the discerning clientele who receives them. The company then gathers feedback from skin care professionals and independent industry organizations before offering the product to the retail market, so you can be assured that the formulas deliver exceptional results. Elemis brings together potent natural ingredients and pioneering technology when creating each and every product.
To give your face a visible lift, try the award-winning Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream. The anti-aging formula contains the marine algae padina pavonica to promote cell renewal and gingko biloba liposomes to safeguard skin against free radicals. Within two weeks you'll see visible results, most noticeably a reduction in the depth of wrinkles and an increase in hydration levels.

Use twice a day and within 28 days, you'll see a significant difference - crow's feet will be minimized, puffiness and dark circles will be reduced, and the skin will look firmer.
Perhaps you want a more youthful-looking décolletage. The revolutionary Elemis Pro-Collagen Lifting Treatment for Neck and Bust utilizes algae and botanicals to transform your skin from crepey to smooth, and from dry to touchably soft.
If you're a frequent traveler, treat yourself to the Elemis The Art of Travelling - For Ladies. The kit contains all the Elemis essentials to keep skin radiant and your nails conditioned no matter what time zone you're in.
Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream - I discovered this cream when it was used during a facial on a recent vacation. I resisted the urge to buy it at the spa because I knew I would save 20% here! This cream is expensive but you need very little. Love this cream and the Elemis line. Really balances my skin.
Elemis Pro-Collagen Quartz Lift Serum - I just tried this Lift Serum for several days and I can see a difference already. I can feel that my face is getting firmer and smother. The lines on my face are not that visible now. I love the way this product works, fast and reliable. Lift Serum is a life saver and I can't get enough on using it.
Elemis Pro-Collagen Oxygenating Night Cream - I was introduced to Elemis products just over a year ago. I am totally addicted now. This night cream is light, and I have continued to get comments on how great my skin looks. I never used products regularly, but now I do. I would highly recommend trying it if you want to feel good and have better looking skin.
Elemis Pro-Collagen Quartz Lift Serum - It is like defying gravity!! I love Lift Serum because in just few uses and the results are already tremendous. I just can't believe it myself. Lift Serum provides me the confidence that I lost back then. I just love the way my face glows today.
Elemis Japanese Camellia Oil Blend - I love this oil. It tones and smoothes my skin beautifully.
Elemis Cellular Recovery Skin Bliss Capsules - I have seen improvements in very a week or so. So far I'm having a blast with Elemis, and trust me I've tried many other brands here (Perricone, Skinceuticals, MD Forte, etc). A little expensive though especially with the way the economy is doing. This is when you gotta take advantage of SkinStore Storewide discounts. :0)

Is Pneumonia Contagious?
Because pneumonia is caused by microbes, pneumonia can be contagious. Pneumonia caused by chemical fumes or other poisons not made by infectious agents are not contagious.
Many contagious pneumonias have names such as bacterial pneumonia, viral pneumonia, Mycoplasma pneumonia and MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) pneumonia that indicate the type of pathogen infecting the lung.

Les Miles hinted in his presser that Pelini would be leaving LSU after the bowl game. Nebraska is holding a meeting for players tommorrow at 4pm. I think Pelini will be their guy for sure.
I really am not sure why...but I just feel Pelini is one of those guys that is a GREAT assistant but might just be a disaster as a HC. I don't know the guy...but that is the impression I get of him...obviously Tom Osborne doesn't think so...
I hope he's the worst hire ever...then Tom Osborne will be hated. That would be awesome!

Wow, LSU is gonna be ******, lose your shot at the national championship, and now your #1 and #2 coaches in this short of a timespan.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin 1775
i think he is a good coach, along with the right assistants he could bring nebraska back to its feet. He is a firey guy alot like Coach Chizik, Last year in our search i was hoping for Pelini or Chizik.

Perhaps LSU could lure Ferentz and then it would all work out for the best
This is kind of off topic, but I am glad we got Chizik last year with all of the head coaching jobs opening up at the end of this season. Plus there will be more with other coaches taking jobs elsewhere.
33, where did you hear about the 4pm players meeting? im thinking this just might be TOs first meeting with them since the firing. you think thats possible?
No, they had a meeting already with TO, only 22 showed up because most had gone home for a little break
k so this could be a meeting with the other 70 or whatever.

NU Football: Pelini, Gill still biggest names in search for new coach
Turner Gill and Bo Pelini continued to be the two names with the strongest connection to the head football coach search at Nebraska Monday afternoon.
Although speculation throughout the coaching grapevine has linked other names to the search, the World-Herald has not confirmed the names of other coaches being interviewed by interim Athletic Director Tom Osborne, who is conducting the search with the help of Parker Executive Search based in Atlanta.
Osborne flew to Atlanta on Sunday night after stopping for two hours in Baton Rouge, La., to meet with Pelini.
A plane registered to NU regent and booster Howard Hawks, through Hawks Transportation LLC, flew to Atlanta this morning, drawing speculation that the five onboard were connected to the coaching search. Hawks, who did not immediately return phone messages, is also chief executive officer of Tenaska Inc., an energy company which owns a generating station in Georgia, according to the Tenaska Web site. The five people who deplaned in Atlanta during a rain storm appeared to be business travelers with no connection to the NU coaching search.
Also, a meeting for Husker players that NU scheduled for Tuesday at 4 p.m. is a routine post-season gathering that would have taken place regardless of NU's coaching change, a current player told the World-Herald.

I can find the draw odds on all units for first choice with various pp values, but can't find anything for 2nd choice draw odds. I don't even see any data on 2nd choice applicants. Any ideas on how to figure this?

While your primary skincare routine can cleanse, tone, and moisturize your skin, it cannot provide all of the special capabilities that are often needed. In particular, as the skin ages, it begins to lose its natural ability to produce collagen and elastin, two essential elements of maintaining the healthy, supple condition of the skin. When you begin to use specialized beauty formulas such as Alchimie Forever Treatments, your skin receives the extra help it needs to fight off the signs of aging and to rejuvenate its ability to look and feel healthy once again. Developed by two doctors and manufactured in Switzerland, Alchimie Forever Treatments address unique skincare issues including the unwanted signs of aging such as dullness, loss of elasticity, and wrinkles. One of the first methods of defending your skin against unnecessary sagging and wrinkling is to firm and tighten your skin, offering it the ability to fight off the damage that the aging process and free radicals can inflict.
Designed to refresh the skin's natural defense against damage, Alchimie Forever Treatments provide skin-friendly ingredients, packing powerful ingredients and capabilities.
Your daily skincare routine is your first defense against the damage created by the buildup of impurities, the harm created by free radicals, and the dehydration, loss of elasticity, and wrinkling created by the natural aging process. With Alchimie Forever Treatments, you receive the extra skincare that you need and deserve to rejuvenate the fresh, radiant beauty of your skin. Alchimie Forever Treatments target the problematic issues that commonly occur to the skin. Take advantage of the rejuvenating capabilities offered in these skin-friendly formulas that have been created to address specific problems.
Offering two individual solutions designed to tighten and brighten the skin, Alchimie Forever Diode 1 Plus Diode 2 Age Defying Serums help to reduce the surface lines, wrinkles, and dullness so often created by the natural aging process. Infused with the antioxidant properties found in green tea and rosemary extracts, these powerful serums provide an excellent defense against the free radicals waging war against your skin. Offering both immediate and long-term benefits, this potent duo takes up the fight and delivers the ingredients that your skin needs the most to become stronger and healthier.
Regular use of these serums helps to create younger looking skin with a renewed tone and a refined surface. Your skin will feel more energized as it becomes tighter and healthier. Continued use of these effective serums assists in minimizing the appearance of dark spots as well as reducing the size of surface lines. For an instant lift to your face for a special night out on the town or for a longer lasting effect, incorporate these age-defying serums into an existing beauty care regimen.

Controversial Florida legislation dies
When the legislative session of the Florida House of Representatives ended on May 6, 2005, House Bill 837 -- a version of the so-called Academic Bill of Rights promoted by conservative activist David Horowitz -- died.
NCSE in the Washington Post
NCSE was featured prominently in Peter Slevin's article "Teachers, Scientists Vow to Fight Challenge to Evolution," published in the May 5, 2005, issue of the Washington Post. The article begins with a review of the situation in Kansas, where the state board of education is conducting a contentious series of hearings on the place of evolution in the state science standards.
Three antievolution bills die in Alabama
May 3, 2005, was the final day for proposed legislation to pass in either the House or the Senate and still have a chance of passing in the other chamber of the Alabama legislature. Among the dozens of bills that died were HB 352, HB 716 and SB 240.
Stickers must go, says federal court
When Judge Clarence Cooper ruled that the evolution disclaimers in the Cobb County School District's textbooks were unconstitutional, he also ordered the stickers to be removed. Because of the time needed, he subsequently allowed the removal to be scheduled for the summer of 2005. Nevertheless, the Cobb County School District asked the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to stay the order, pending its decision on the district's appeal of Selman. On May 3, 2005, a three-judge panel denied the Cobb County School District's request.
East Porter approves biology textbook
On April 25, 2005, the board of the East Porter County (Indiana) School Corporation voted 6-1 to adopt science textbooks recommended by a district committee. Several board members had previously raised questions about the proposed biology texts because they contained material about evolution, but not about creationism or other "alternative theories," and a decision on the textbooks was delayed to allow board members time to inspect the proposed texts.

When you need directions, it's best to ask someone who knows the way. That's why we team each of our patients with a certified nurse navigator, who serves as a knowledgeable, supportive guide for patients from the time of initial imaging finding to diagnosis through treatment to follow-up care.
"As one constant during treatment, a breast health navigator is someone who can help answer questions or clarify information for the patient," said Nancy Terveen, CNP, CN-BP.
The navigator provides education and support for decision making in every phase of your imaging needs and treatment. When you talk with your navigator, you can feel confident she is committed to understanding your unique needs and assisting you during your specific care plan.
Discussions with their navigator allow patients to weigh treatment options in a compassionate environment with a professional who has extensive experience in such consultations.

Printer Friendly Version Of
American Sociological Association: Regular Sessions
<< Back to Call for Papers page
The announced Regular Session Topics listed in the Call for Papers are open to submission of full papers from members of the Association and other interested individuals. For these avenues to formal paper presentation, the Program Committee selects fairly broad topics, drawing upon the experience of past programs as well as suggestions from the membership, its own views of the discipline, and those topics it considers to be of timely and emerging interest in the field. This structure of fewer but wider categories is believed to broaden the scope of sessions and stimulate fruitful dialogue among related areas of specialization.
One benefit of this structure is that Regular Session organizers have the opportunity to organize more than one session, depending on the number and quality of submissions. An author's chances of acceptance are thus enhanced, since organizers are less constrained by narrowly defined topics. All Regular Session topics are eligible for multiple sessions if warranted by the number and quality of submissions.
Regular Session organizers are expected to select for the program the best papers submitted to them. It is against ASA and Program Committee policy for organizers to recruit presenters selectively or to impose their own pre-planned themes on Regular Sessions.
Further, in order to assure wide participation in the program, it is Program Committee policy that organizers not give sole-authored papers in sessions they organize if they are to serve as presider or discussant in that session.
Regular Session organizers may construct sessions in the traditional paper-reading style or opt for a more interactive format. A traditional paper-reading session normally lists a session presider, four or five papers, and a discussant (optional). Interactive session formats vary, often pairing paper presentations, using more discussants, or having presenters discuss each other's papers. In all cases, organizers are responsible for facilitating the session interaction.
A paper presentation on a Regular Session is classified as an authorship under the participation rules. Paper titles with authors' names and affiliations will be listed in the Program.

Upon arrival the area, containment was set up which resulted in shutting down Iron Springs Road from approximately 600 North to 1700 North and adjacent roadways. The 26 year old male subject was located on the roadway and contained to the area. The subject was found to have a knife and advanced on deputies threating them. Deputies began trying to deescalate the situation.
The Iron County Sheriff's SWAT team and other neighboring agencies were deployed to the area along with K-9 teams. A negotiator was on scene and talked with the subject for over two hours. After the two hours of communication with the subject, he became more irrationaland stopped talking with the negotiator. K-9's were deployed along with other less lethaloptions. The man was then taken into custody and transported to Valley View Medical Center for treatment.
It was discovered after the incident a home in the area had been damaged by this person and criminal investigation is still active. Charges are pending at this time.

Warwood Fire Blocks Traffic at Rush Hour
Afternoon blaze destroys apartments along W.Va. 2
March 8, 2013
WHEELING — Fire broke out in an apartment building at 2615 Warwood Ave. late Thursday afternoon, bringing rush hour traffic to a standstill as the Wheeling Fire Department fought to extinguish it....
As a little boy, walking by this house with an older cousin or one of the relatives, on those summer Sunday afternoons before we headed back home later that day. That block on Warwood Avenue doesn't look all that bad via the lense of Google Maps. My grandmother's home a few blocks south has not fared so well--that is sad since she tried to keep the place where my Mom, aunt and uncle were raised, one of the more well kept properties on the block. Not far away, before you arrived at 2615, was the site for Wickham's Grocery who kept my grandmother in groceries and pot roasts, delivered in his red panel truck.

Meijer Statement:
Meijer has land under contract in both Rockford and Machesney Park and we are in the due diligence phase regarding any potential future stores. What this means is there are no current or approved plans for a store, we are simply having conversations with the community. Having the land under contract locks a price and holds the property for us until we decide if we are going to build a store. The short answer is we are considering the sites but have not made a decision yet.
-Frank J. Guglielmi, Meijer Public Relations Director
STATELINE (WIFR) -- Two new super stores could be setting up shop in the Stateline.
Meijer Public Relations Director Frank J. Guglielmi tells us they are looking at land in both Rockford and Machesney Park.
Village leaders say the Machesney Park location would be on 27 acres of land off of IL 173, between Forest Hills and Perryvile Roads. The potential Rockford location hasn't been revealed.
No official decision has been made on both locations.
Meijer is a grocery and retail superstore based out of Michigan.

This week I headed up to the Bay Area for the annual San Francisco Flower and Garden Show. Believe it or not, I had never been to this show so I was pretty excited. And with 29 display gardens and 200 exhibitors, I wasn't disappointed either (though I was a little exhausted by the end of the day).
This installation was entitled "Gardenmob" done by Saunders Designs. What I loved was their use of old corrugated steel with perforated copper pipe in front as a rain fountain. It was really lovely.
The contrast of the old metal with the wood of the tree is beautiful. I was quite taken with this.
The next garden I liked was called "Urban Habitat" done by the San Francisco Academy of Art and it had the most amazing Ceanothus trees as I'm mainly used to seeing California Lilac as a bush. They were really great.
The installation was also filled with graffiti and black light which looked pretty interesting in the very low light of the exhibition hall (I had no idea they kept those places so dark).
Probably the most interesting display, to me anyway, was called "Savanna!" done by Rock & Rose Landscapes and Greenlee & Associates.
I really enjoyed how John Greenlee took the ideas from his book American Meadow Garden and transformed them into this jungle he had going here.
It was really great, complete with ceramic snakes, though not that easy to photograph.
This was a very clean, modern garden call "Serenity Lounge" by Envision Landscape. I loved the smooth stucco walls that looked like polished concrete and the built-in IPE benches that also created the planter edges.
But my favorite element (and one of my favorite things in the show) was the fire pit made of two single bands of Corten Steel. So simple and so gorgeous.
This was a pretty cool installation by Outdoor Environments and while large, wasn't too over the top (as some of the others were). I was especially enamored by the Pitcher Plants.
And really, who doesn't need their very own pendulum?
This garden by T.H. Norton used pervious pavers, a really cool fence design using aluminum tracks and an amazing glass sculpture from artist David Ruth.
Besides all the big installation gardens there were also smaller installations scattered throughout the exhibition hall. This was one of my favorites with its great use of reclaimed wood (I really like the way they've done the pattern) on all the raised beds.
And this is one kick-ass chicken coop.
This installation done by West Valley College was really creative. They used drywall braces to build this fence.
And then cut it up into pieces to make this dripping fountain. What a great idea.
And this lesson in Hydroponics from Wemco Landscapes was also really cool. They had this whole elaborate waterfall that was irrigating these edibles growing in a hydroponic media of expanded clay. Probably the most expensive lettuce you will ever buy but totally awesome.
And finally from the large installations, I really liked this fountain/table from McKenna Landscape. I have this theory that most outdoor furniture is looked at more than it's actually used anyway so why not have a fountain that's also a table…especially if you drink enough wine.
And then there was just fun stuff I saw. I've always loved those elaborate patios done with river rock…well this seems a whole lot easier and less expensive and really really pretty. This is my second favorite thing from the show.
These were glass spires you can put into your garden done by an artist named Barbara Sanderson. I think we have to carry them in the store.
Jeff Owen was another artist I liked (though I'm always a sucker for anything done in iron). It's hard to find good garden art and his work was unique and fairly priced. The piece on the right he call "Angeles" because he says it reminds him of downtown Los Angeles. I can see it.
And what garden show couldn't have a succulent wall? And though they are becoming somewhat standard fare, this was a particulary nice one and seemed a fit way to end this very lengthy blog post. There were many installations I left out and in the interest of being unsnarky, I'll just leave it at that.
The San Francisco Garden Show…I came, I went, I'll go again.

The objective of hunting is to cause the destruction of vital organs; e.g. heart and/or lungs. What caliber & bullet accomplishes this objective is immaterial. As long as caliber & bullet penetrates vital organs, animals will die. Nothing will live long w/o functioning heart and/or lungs. That's merely simple biology.
God only knows how many North American big game animals have fallen to surplus .303 British rifles and Winchester 94's.
If I were to begin anew I'd buy a .280 Remington and never look back. But what I knew when I did buy big game rifles wasn't what I should have known. That hindsight bromide does come into play.
The two most accurate rifles I have fired were both chambered for 7MM Rem Mag, one a 700 ADL & the other a Sako. Both shot quarter-size groups.
The benefit of .284 caliber is sectional density. .284 bullets have mystical ability to penetrate.
Hunters should buy rifles that are right for them. Some hunters don't. Last year I watched a studly dude who was probably in his mid-30's sight in his brand new .300 Win Mag. He told me it was his first big game rifle. Up until that point he used relatives' rifles. His groups were about 6" at a hundred yards. He flinched with every round. He borrowed my shooting rest. He still flinched. After nearly a box of empty cases, he told me that he couldn't continue because of shoulder pain. In contrast, I had about a .75" group a couple inches high & dead center at a hundred yards. I was shooting a .308 Win. One shot, one buck. I hope that that dude did as well.
While I love the 7MM Rem Mag, it is not necessary to kill any big game animal. The 7x57 was performing that task quite admirably before the 7MM Rem Mag came along. Whatever a .300 Win Mag will do -with very few exceptions- so will an '06 or .308 Win. It's all about where a bullet winds up. A .243 Win in vitals is a lot better than an '06 in guts.
Did I mention that were I to start anew I'd buy a .280 Rem & never look back?
I hope this helps.

With 175 Parties, CITES is one of the world's most powerful tools for biodiversity conservation. IUCN was instrumental in creating the convention and continues to provide technical and scientific advice on species of concern. A strong IUCN delegation is attending this year's meeting, helping the Parties to make scientifically-based and well-informed decisions. We'll be reporting on the action as it happens via daily blogs from our experts, news stories and statements.
Thousands of species of plants and animals are used for food, housing, health care, cosmetics or fashion. The international wildlife trade is estimated to be worth billions of dollars annually and to involve more than 350 million plant and animal specimens every year. Unregulated international trade can push threatened species over the brink, especially when added to habitat loss and other pressures such as climate change. The future of species that are threatened by this burgeoning trade will be discussed by Parties to the Convention who will gather in Doha, Qatar for their 15th conference.
CITES offers varying degrees of protection to more than 33,000 species of animals and plants in trade, through a system of permits and certificates. Species are included in one of three lists, called Appendices. For every CITES Conference, IUCN together with TRAFFIC, the wildlife trade monitoring network, prepares the Analyses of the Proposals to Amend the Appendices. These are objective assessments of whether the proposals to change the listing of species meet the necessary trade and biological criteria.
The Convention is increasingly focusing on commercially-important species including fish and trees valuable for timber. Many of the proposals on the agenda reflect growing international concern about the accelerating destruction of the world's marine and forest ecosystems through over-fishing and excessive logging. With 2010 as the International Year of Biodiversity, the CITES Conference is one of the key occasions governments have this year to take action to stop biodiversity loss.
There will be much debate at this conference about how to manage and conserve species that are traded internationally and how to regulate this trade. Marine species such as sharks, tuna and coral will be under the spotlight as well as Asian wild cats, particularly the tiger, Great Apes, elephants, rhinoceroses, antelope and crocodile species, among many others.

Clayton, MO (KSDK) - Five years supervised probation is the punishment handed down to a man who admitted robbing a Salvation Army employee who offered to give the man a ride earlier this year.
Police arrested 25 year old Edward Mitchell of Berkeley after he robbed the female worker outside the Army's thrift store in the Paddock Hills shopping center in Florissant in July.
The employee was leaving for the night when she thought she recognized Mitchell and offered to give him a ride.
Instead of taking the ride, Mitchell reached into the victims car and took the money bag containing nearly $1500.00, then punched the woman and fled.
Mitchell pleaded guilty to robbery charges in St. Louis County and was also sentenced to 120 days incarceration, restitution of the stolen money and forbidden contact with the victim of the crime.

Ohio begins shooting Response training
Local Educators Attend Session
January 18, 2013
COLUMBUS— Two local Ohio school superintendents were among educators from around the state who attended the first of five regional training events in Columbus in response to school shooting......
And these idiots are ONLY planning for a shooting INSIDE the building!
All these shooters need do is call in a bomb threat and wait in the woods for all the targets to come outside!!
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
From the looks of what is on the overhead, it looks like a crash course in how to become a shooting victim!

One factor to consider is that a potential shooter may be given the above response training, particularly if he or she is a disturbed student. This would negate some of the effectiveness of the training.

1) GET SERIOUS, allocate Stimulus money to ARMED GUARDS at each school.
2) Train volunteer teachers in firearms and combat shooting, get them certified.
3) Next shooting attempt winds up with ONE shooter blown away in a hail of bullets
4) Hold a press conference with SMILING but CONCERNED PARENTS with their LIVE children
5) Invite President Potatoehead to kiss their a&&!!!

Shooting Response Training:
1) Call Police for Help
2) Call Coroner to pick up bodies
3) Hold a press conference with crying parents and students
4) Bring in President PotatoeHead to Demonize NRA and Gun Owners, pledge Billions we borrow from China to go go local pork.
5)Go to local bar and congratulate each other on a what a fine dog and pony show was put on.
6) Wait until it happens again and repeat steps 1-5.

simple traning to save school chidrens lives from attackers: ask for teachers who will volunteer to become armed responders in case of attack. Pick Three in a random drawing to be the armed teachers. Send the three to be trained in safety and proficiently taught when and how to respond. This would and should be the 1st. step in helping to make schools safe for children. Cost? minimal. Every public school can aford to do this. I doubt that many will.

Your Postpartum Health
Your health care provider will probably want to examine you within the first two weeks after birth and again at about six weeks. These checkups are very important. Many of the organs that shifted during pregnancy are now moving back to their normal position. Your health care provider will want to make sure this is happening to you. She will check your blood pressure and the amount of lochia, look at any stitches you may have, and check your breasts, all to make sure that your recovery is going well. You will also be asked about your bowel movements and urination, how much or how little you're resting, how you're adjusting, your diet, and any problems you're having with the care of your baby. If you have elected early discharge and you have not arranged for a nurse home visit, be sure to make an appointment to visit your health care provider and your baby's health care provider during the first week after birth.
What to expect after giving birth:

nice map and colours though on something that scale I don't think Rhumb lines makes much sense. graticules would be better on a world map.
This is a world that I have been attempting to draw for a couple of years now. No idea if this will be the final shape of it, but so far I like it and am really thinking this may be 'it'. I'm hesitant to post it here, mostly because I have no idea if I'll finish (here's hoping!), but I want to see what other people think.
That image is at 33% original size, I like working BIG I really like the ocean colors I've done and land colors. I plan on adding country/city/etc. names and maybe heraldry and other stuff.
What I'm really worried about is the mountains. What they look like and where they're placed. I'm not completely finished with them but I think I have most of the mountains in there. I was trying to go for a realistic look, but I'm not sure about them. I'm also wondering if the 'green' and 'dry' areas on the continents make sense.
Thoughts are welcome!

I'm not really familiar with the terms rhumb lines and graticules. After a quick google search I'm guessing the rhumb lines is from the compass I have, and graticules would be the grid thing? I'm partial to the rhumb lines but I think I see what you mean. I'll try it out
I believe it may have something to do with the projection you are using for your world map which makes the rhumb lines inappropriate. While I like the way rhumb lines look, I think they work better for more regional maps.
Whatever lines you decide to go with though, I would suggest lowering the opacity of them so they are more subtle. I think the stark white lines are a bit too distracting to the rest of the map (which looks great).
Hi BookOwl. Thanks for posting your map. I like the colors of ocean, ice, green and arid areas. I like the icebergs breaking away. The mountain ranges, I like the placement, but yes they look strange, veiny, linear, and kind of low looking. The mtns on some of the green islands actually look better to me.
What type of "map projection" are you using? I've learned it could be important to know with a global map. The top and bottom of your map are probably very stretched out because of map projection, so, the land near the top and bottom is "actually" a different size (smaller) than what is depicted. The compass lines are confusing, making it seem like the equater is very far south (where your worldwide horizontal line is), where a graticule (global grid of latitude and longitude) would help to show the map projection and how the projection is affecting the angles, area, or shapes. Also just remember with the wrap-around, your top-left and top-right areas are nearly touching ("I can see Russia from here!"). Good luck with your map progress!
Larb- I tried out some graticule lines and do believe it looks better than the rhumb lines. And thanks for the suggestion to turn down the opacity of the lines, looks way better, I think
Gold- I have very little idea of what a map projection is. I guess I was trying to use whatever projection is used for rectangular maps of earth.
I do understand that the top and bottom of the map is stretched. Is there some other way I should draw it or something?
And thanks for pointing out about the top corners nearly touching on a globe. I might put a bit more ocean between them
Here's an updated image with graticule lines instead of rhumb! Opacity turned way down, is this the way graticule lines should look?
I'm going to try some experimenting with the mountains and try to get them to look more like mountains
I think it might be Equirectangular map projection. If it is equirectangular then you can import it to GProjector (free program from NASA folks) which I learned about from Hai-Etlik here on Cartographer's Guild, along with half of this info I'm attempting to share. With GProjector you can see your map rendered in many different map projections -- very fun. If it is not equirectangular and turns out to be Mercator projection, or something else I didn't spot, then your graticule would need some changes probably. The 2 pictures on Wikipedia for Equirectangular Projection are helpful.
I think you would enjoy learning basics of map projections anyway. It is a factor in your world mapping and will help you as a world mapper. The reason for map projections is you are mapping the surface of a sphere (a globe), onto a flat rectangle. Imagine cutting open a basketball and trying to flatten it out on the ground. Because of the curves of the Earth, it comes out strangely on flat paper, the strangeness can be called distortion. Different types of map projections have different types of distortion (area, distance, angle, shape). The 2nd pic on the wiki link above shows the distortion on equirectangular maps. Just recently I learned about all this from links and posts mostly from Cartographer's Guild. It might affect your graticule spacing, or you may have nailed it (that looks like equirectangular graticule if I'm not mistaken). Google Earth, G Projector, and Fractal Terrains 3, all make graticules automatically with choosing various settings and options.

Really, projections are something you need to think about before you start drawing the map. They ALL cause some form of distortion and you have to understand that distortion and draw it into the map, otherwise what you've done is distorted the features themselves in order to compensate.
Think about what it means to put a globe on a rectangle. In your case, the equator and lines running straight north-south are "true" but other lines are distorted. If you walk along the 45th parallel on a globe, it will be about 70% of the length of the equator, but on your map, it's exactly the same length. The 75th parallel is only 25% as long as the equator, and at the poles, you have single points without length, but on your map they are infinitely stretched out to become lines as long as the equator. So as you get closer to the poles, everything gets stretched out east-west on a cylindrical map. Equidistant Cylindrical leaves north-south distance alone, so shapes on the map should be progressively more and more stretched out sideways as you near the poles. If they shapes aren't stretched on the map, then it means that the the real shapes are "pinched" in toward the poles.
Other projections try to compensate. Mercator adds a north-south stretch equal to the east-west stretch, which keeps shapes/angles correct. It also drastically distorts areas, and pushes the infinitely stretched poles infinitely far away. It was created for marine navigation as it preserves compass bearings, which makes it the only projection where you can have a whole world, and put a compass rose on it (compass roses are not decorative, they are there to indicate that the map preserves bearings)
The other main cylindrical projection is the Equal Area Cylindrical projection which does the opposite of Mercator, squashing north-south where it stretched east-west so it balances out and keeps the area the same, but distorts the shape even more. Gall-Peters and Hobo-Dyer are both particular cases of this projection. It's ugly, hard to read, and generally no good far anything. There are non-cylindrical Equal Area projections that are far superior like Mollweide and Aittoff. Equal area maps are generally used for thematic maps that display data like population or weather, not for reference or navigation maps.
There are loads of other non-cylindrical projections including Azimuthal, Conic, Pseudocylindrical, and Hybrid projections. Modern world maps tend to use Hybrid projections like Robinson and Winkel Tripel, which both have sort of oblong shapes.
NASA has released a free program called "G.Projector" which can take Equidistant cylindrical maps and reproject them. Doing so will make the distortion you've drawn into your land quite obvious though.
Here are views of the north and south poles from space: "Vertical Perspective" in G.Projector.
Gold- Yes I believe it is equirectangular, two times as wide as it is tall right? I think I'm starting to understand, just a little, about projections. I never really thought about it before. And thanks for the links, I'm going to check those out.
Hai-Etlik- Wow, a lot of info there. I had no idea this stuff was so important. Thanks for explaining the parallels like that, I completely understand now. And thanks for explaining some of the projections, I understand a bit better now. I just downloaded G.Projector and as far as I'm concerned, that program is amazing! I apologize if this is something you already explained somewhere in there, but how do I fix the distortion in my map? I see the distortion pretty clearly in the image you uploaded, but is there anyway to fix it?
Thanks for all the info! (Which I will now think about and google to learn more )
I think its just a matter of going back to the base image, trying to alter it, uploading it back to g. projector, seeing it, altering it again etc. etc. until your'e happy! At least that's what i do.
If there's an easier way I'd love to know!

BETHESDA, Md. (WUSA9) -- As kids head back to school, 9 Wants You to Know about changes at area school districts aimed at protecting student athletes from serious head injuries.
For the first time, all high school athletes in Montgomery County, Maryland Public Schools will get cognitive testing before they can practice, or play.
Laura Hartman is with Medstar Sports Medicine and the athletic director, department of orthopaedics, at MedStar Washington Hospital Center. She is administering the computer based tests called ImPACT at Walt Whitman High School in Bethesda. She says, "Montgomery County has mandated that all of their student athletes, regardless of sport, be required to take a baseline concussion test."
Hartman says the test measures memory of both written words and patterns, among other things, to get a baseline assessment. Then, if a player suffers a concussion this season, a follow-up test could be given for comparison three to seven days after the injury.
Hartman, who will also be on-staff as an athletic trainer this season at a Montgomery County High School, explains, "We start to re-test them once they show signs of recovery, in order to release them and put them on track for therapy."
Jim Kuhn is the head football coach of the Whitman Fighting Vikings. Coach Kuhn elaborates on further precautions in place.
He says, "We have a whole 'return to play' protocol in Montgomery County. They are cleared by the doctor and then they start working with our trainer to get back on the field to start doing some agility drills."
Kuhn says his players are also trained in USA Football's "Heads Up" program, which teaches tackling techniques that protect against head and neck injuries. Players are hitting during only two practices a week, in addition to game day. "To try and decrease the number of sub-concussive hits," explains Kuhn.
The danger of a second trauma before a concussion has sufficiently healed is called second-impact syndrome, It is very much on the minds of high school coaches, thanks to scientific research supported, in part, by the NFL.
One hard and fast rule to protect against a second, potentially devastating head injury: athletes who've suffered a concussion do not begin a gradual return to their sport until they are completely symptom-free for 24 hours. If symptoms return, the player is taken back to 'square one' in rehabilitation.
Kuhn says it only makes sense to adhere to the guidelines.
"These guys love the game just like I do. But the vast majority of them, all of them, are headed to college in the next few years. They have a life beyond football, and its just not worth it, putting them at that risk."
Laura Hartman says in addition to the obvious symptom of a severe headache after a head injury, subtle signs of a lingering concussion include troubling sleeping, difficult reading, concentrating on computer screens, sensitivity to sunlight, and memory problems.
In Maryland, Charles, Howard and Anne Arundel counties are also using the ImPACT baseline concussion program; Washington, DC public schools are testing athletes as well, starting with those playing sports considered high-risk. Athletic trainers say the Fairfax County Public School District in Virginia has been administering the ImPACT test with its student athletes for several years.

Yes it is legal now to quarter one out for extraction.
It is a much better plan to just go to hunt moose in Canada. There are outfitters that do semi-guided hunts at reasonable prices.

Researchers working on the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment (CDMS) received an early Christmas gift last week when their detectors spotted evidence for the existence of dark matter, the mysterious substance that is believed to make up 25% of our Universe. The detectors, sitting half a mile underground in a disused mine in northern Minnesota, detected two events that may be results of dark matter particles bouncing off other atomic nuclei. It's the first time that such events were recorded by CDMS, and while they don't provide conclusive proof that dark matter exists, the detections have caused a stir in the scientific community.

If you are looking for something to while away the holiday, then this issue has plenty of ideas for you! We explore the power of origami to solve ancient (and very modern) problems, find the maths in fashion, and marvel at the complexities of church bell ringing. But it's not all fun and games, as we investigate the controversies surrounding breast screening and the maths behind drug-induced hallucinations, find out how to predict the impact of natural catastrophes, and answer some deep questions about the Universe.

Professor risk
Are you a committed non-smoker who loves rock climbing? Then, like most of us, your have an ambivalent attitude to risk. Some risks are so much fun they're worth taking, and others you definitely stay clear of. But what's the attitude of a risk professional like David Spiegelhalter, Cambridge Professor of Public Understanding of Risk (and regular contributor to Plus)? Find out in this short video posted on the Cambridge Ideas website.

Vaccination is an emotive business. The furore around the MMR vaccine and autism has shown that vaccination health scares can cause considerable damage: stop vaccinating, and epidemics are sure to follow. But how do scientists decide whether a vaccine and a vaccination strategy are effective and safe? We talk to Paddy Farrington, Professor of Statistics at the Open University.

Get ready for Valentine's Day with chocolate
Valentine's Day is coming up, so we better start thinking of ways we can indulge ourselves in chocolate. Lots and lots of chocolate. One of my favorite chocolate recipes is this chocolate trifle from allrecipes.com. If you like chocolate, you'll love this!
And according to the statistics, Americans really do love chocolate. An article by delish.com said in 2009, over 58 million pounds of chocolate were purchased around Valentine's Day—totaling around $345 million.
Surprisingly enough, Valentine's Day isn't the biggest holiday for chocolate sales. It's topped by Easter, with 71 million pounds of chocolate candy purchased, according to studies from the Nielsen Company. And at 90 million pounds, Halloween is the chocolatiest holiday of them all!
Sixteen of the top 20 chocolate consuming countries in the world are European, with Switzerland leading the way at over 22 pounds of chocolate consumed per person each year, followed by Austria, Ireland, Germany and Norway.

SPRINGFIELD, Va. (WUSA) -- Drivers continue to struggle with navigating the entrance to the 495 Express Lanes on Tuesday morning. In the video above, you can see cars swerve or go across multiple lanes when drivers realize they're not in the correct lanes.
The Express Lanes have been open since Saturday morning. Six crashes have happened at the Northbound entrance, which is in the two far left lanes just two miles after the Springfield interchange. The drivers in those crashes swerved into other cars, slammed on their brakes and even stopped in their tracks trying to avoid getting on the toll lanes.
V-DOT and Transurban, the company that manages the lanes, say they are making these changes to help alleviate problems:

Building a Better Small-Block Ford - BluePrint For A Bulletproof Blue OvalWritten by on November 1, 2011
I've never really understood the whole Ford vs. Chevy dispute, for it seems that both camps have some pretty valid points when it comes to which marque is preferred over the other. If you're arguing strictly aesthetics, it's a pretty neck and neck argument as both the F-1 and the'48-'55 Chevys have a popular following, as do the mid-'50s F-100s versus the Tri-Five Chevys. Get into the '60 though and the lines of popularity can start to quickly blur. The early '60s Fords with their boxy unibody styling leave many with something more to be desired, while the Chevys of the era are similarly lacking in some minds. Forging onwards further into the decade and the popularity of the new C10 body style and features in 1967 today absolutely crushes the Ford camp. Be it parts availability, body styling, or mechanics, the Fords from the late '60s-and-later just don't seem to get nearly as much love as their Chevy brethren.
When it comes to engines, the Chevy small-block has been a mainstay, generating loyalty with hot rodders soon after its introduction in 1955. Its Ford equivalent, the Y-block, never really caught on and was soon replaced by Ford's first generation of small-block V-8s in the early to mid-'60s. The 289 and later the 302 and 351ci Ford engines, however, never seemed to catch up with the popularity shared by the Chevy engine line. Perhaps it was the confusion of cross application parts (it's been said that the standard 302 family had nearly a half dozen different water pumps to choose from depending on the application) that kept guys from replacing their wore out Ford engines with similar drive train components. Perhaps it was junkyard and aftermarket availability that partially soured the Ford aftermarket. Whatever it was, there was a distinct increase in the number of trucks that were being built using Chevy power over Ford.
But today, things have swung back around for the diehard Blue Oval bleeders, and the aftermarket has definitely played catch up, providing everything one needs to maintain that Ford in their Ford. From pulley kits, brackets, and dress-up items to long- and short-block rebuilds and crate engines, it's all there now for the taking and has never before been easier.
Speedway Motors saw the writing on the wall for the loyal Ford owners and recently expanded their accessory line, teaming up with BluePrint Engines to introduce a freshly rebuilt 302 Ford Hot Rod Crate Engine. Perfect for any Ford enthusiast looking to upgrade that F-series pickup (or perhaps that Chevy guy who really wants to stir the pot!), Speedway's 302 is assembled using the industry's best parts by some of the finest assembly wrenches in the business. Speedway's crate 302 is engineered for the street, which makes it manageable in any street application and gives it that extra edge over some of the other crate engine manufacturers. From the valvetrain to the intake, to the cam to the ignition, everything has been chosen to be as complete a package with zero guesswork necessary to plug-and-play. Every engine is even dyno-tuned to ensure that the package is ready to rock and roll upon delivery, with a hard copy of the dyno sheet enclosed in the instruction manual so you know exactly what you're getting.
Never before has it been so easy to maintain that loyalty to the marque on the front of your truck. But don't take my word for it, check it out for yourself and see what it takes to put together an engine as bulletproof as Speedway Motor's 302 Hot Rod Crate Engine. CCT

Cylinders are also sonic tested and computer honed to within 0.0002-inch straightness and roundness.The crankshaft is a premium cast piece that is ground 10/10, micro-polished, and then precision balanced.Seasoned engine builders assemble each engine, taking time and care to follow proper tightening sequences and ensure accurate torque specifications.
Reconditioned rods are fitted with new Federal Mogul hypereutectic pistons and Hastings moly rings. When paired with the heads, the pistons yield a 9.6:1 compression ratio.After being pressure tested and surfaced, the seasoned E7TE cast-iron Ford heads have the valve seats cut and are fitted with swirl-polished 1.94-inch intake and 1.60-inch exhaust valves, plus hardened retainers and springs. They are torqued to spec by hand when installed on the engine.
To ensure the small-block looks as good as it runs, Speedway Motors has the BluePrint team assemble it with finned and polished aluminum valve covers and a matching oil pan. A polished-aluminum, dual-plane intake manifold contributes to both the performance and appearance. Other performance accessories include an aluminum timing chain cover and Professional Products harmonic balancer.A Speedway Motors HEI-style distributor provides enough sparks and eliminates the need for a separately mounted coil.Each 302 is broken in and dyno tested to ensure optimum performance.Like all Speedway's crate 302s, this one registered more than 300 hp, 320.7 hp (at 5600 rpm) and 350.8 lb-ft of torque (at 4000 rpm) to be exact, using 15⁄8-inch headers and an out-of-the-box Edelbrock 600-cfm carburetor. The broad torque curve delivered more than 300 lb-ft from 2500 to 5600 rpm. Each engine is delivered with a dyno sheet listing its performance numbers and other critical specifications.
