New Accounting and Auditing Guidance for Not-for-Profit Organizations
Ratcliffe, Thomas A., Grice, John Stephen, The National Public Accountant
In May 1998, the Not-for-Profit Organization Committee of the American institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) issued an updated accounting and auditing guide related to not-for-profit reporting entities, entitled Not-for-Profit Organizations. The 1996 Guide, updated previous accounting and auditing guidance primarily to include the financial reporting requirements associated with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 116, entitled Accounting for Contributions Received and Contributions Made, SFAS No. 117, entitled Financial Statement of Not-for-Profit Organizations, and SFAS No. 124, entitled Accounting for Certain Investments Held by Not-for-Profit Organizations. Subsequently, several new accounting and auditing documents were issued that resulted in the need to modify the 1996 Guide. As such, the AICPA issued a revised 1998 Guide applicable to these reporting entities that incorporated these revised technical literature requirements. This article explains the conforming changes a ssociated with the 1998 Guide.
New Accounting Literature Requirements
The new accounting provisions incorporated in the 1998 Guide include issues related to the following types of documents: Statements of Position (SOP); SFASs, and Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretations (FASBINs). This section briefly discusses several of the recent documents that made the 1998 Guide necessary. Exhibit 1 summarizes the new literature discussed in this section that has been incorporated into the 1998 Guide.
FASBIN No. 42, entitled Accounting for Transfers of Assets in Which a Not-for-Profit Organization Is Granted Variance Power, indicates that a recipient organization that is directed by a resource provider to distribute transferred assets, income from those assets or both to a specified third-party beneficiary acts as a donee/donor, if the recipient organization has variance power over the distribution. The recipient organization has variance power over the distributions when the resource provider explicitly grants the recipient organization the unilateral power to redirect the use of the transferred assets to another beneficiary FASBIN No. 42 was issued in September 1996 and is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after September 15, 1996, with earlier application encouraged. The provisions of FASBIN No. 42 may be implemented either retroactively or by reporting the cumulative effect of the change in the year of the change.
SFAS No. 126 entitled, Exemption from Certain Required Disclosures about Financial Instruments for Certain Nonpublic Entities, amends SFAS No. 107 entitled, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to make the disclosures about fair value of financial instruments prescribed in SFAS No. 107 optional for certain nonpublic entities. SFAS No. 107 requires organizations to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. According to SFAS No. 126, reporting entities that meet the following criteria are not required to provide these disclosures in financial statements:
* The entity is a nonpublic entity;
* The entity has total assets of less than $100 million as of the balance sheet;
* The entity has not held or issued any derivative financial instruments, as defined in SFAS No. 133 entitled, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, other than loan commitments during the reporting period.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, entitled Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. SFAS No. 131 supersedes SFAS No. 14 [as amended], entitled Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise. SFAS No. 131 makes two fundamental changes to the technical literature related to disclosure requirements applicable to segment information presented in financial statements of publicly traded entities:
* Reportable segments now are determined based upon how management of the reporting entity evaluates those segments-- a "management approach". …

Nonetheless, just having them standing there as veterans themselves, it was very moving," said Ouellette."I've had some emotional times on the road, but when I got to Bangor and the Maine Troop Greeters said, 'Welcome home Tina,' I lost it because I know what they do," explained Scheer.

Perhaps Earth can lead us through this quagmire of building a new Interstate-5 bridge. We, as humans, have been discussing, planning, and bickering for the last 14 years about building a new bridge across the Columbia River. Now future plans have ended.
I took a community education course about the geology of our area. We discussed the probability of the next subduction zone earthquake/tsunami off the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and Northern California. The professor told us of the pattern of one approximately every 300 years, 300 years, then 600 years, then again we have 300 years, 300 years, and 600 years. The last one happened Jan. 26, 1700. That one is the first of the two 300-year cycles, according to him.
I have two friends who have had dreams seeing the I-5 bridge crumbling with cars falling into the river. Are they precognitive dreams? The newer Interstate-205 bridge has been built to survive earthquakes. The quagmire no longer exists if the I-5 bridge comes down.
Time to rebuild with no more arguing about if and how we should do it. Earth has her way.

I have ordered several rugs from Rugs Direct and I believe they offer the best value. This particular rug is just lovely. We have the 8' x 8' round in our foyer. We are replacing it because I didn't follow the cleaning instructions and the colors bled (don't try this at home - get a professional). But I am ordering another one, identical, from Rugs Direct.
Rugs and pads were shipped very quickly. Overall, I am satisfied with these rugs however, the color on the Internet appears to be black and a lime or bright green color. The actual color is more of a black and sage or depending on the light, sometimes it looks black and tan. Luckily, it still worked for me. There are also several snags in the looping in the pile.

Additional Information
About Cooperativa San JoseThis loan is administered by Cooperativa San Jose, a 45,000-member credit union located high in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador's poorest province, Bolivar. They offer a unique loan called "Ventanillas Rurales" [Window to the Countryside], which uses a group guarantee but is an individual loan with a savings component, mostly to rural borrowers. Due to low savings rates and a history of macroeconomic instability, many traditional loans in Ecuador demand interest rates that are prohibitively high for some borrowers. There is also a high incidence of extortionist black-market lending in Ecuador. CSJ helps mitigate these problems by providing a less onerous and more appropriate option. Join CSJ's Lending Team!
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Hey, it's Brooke again! How's it going? I recently made my almost 3 year old daughter her very own book of colors, Annie's Colors: A DIY Mini Album, and wanted to share it with you. 🙂
This came together so quickly and was really fun to make. I wanted to make Annie her very own customized book of colors. I already had most of the pictures–I wanted the objects to be her own things and have her in the pictures somehow, even if it was just her hand or foot. 🙂 I just kept the design VERY simple so as not to distract from the pictures.
I created the little mini layouts in Photoshop Elements 4.0, using various papers and a flourish from http://www.digitalscrapbookmemories.com/. I made them small enough to just slide them into those ID badge covers from Walmart (12 for $1.60), roughly 2.5 by 3.5 inches or something close to that. Double check to get the right measurements! I could easily fit 2 little layouts on a 4×6 photo printed at Costco, so it is a very inexpensive project. I'm happy with how it turned out, and so is Annie. 🙂 Added some cute coordinating ribbon and a little album was born. 🙂 Here are the digital files so you can see each of the pages. You can click to enlarge.
Now my son wants one for himself. Well, now I want one for MYself too! 🙂

MENIFEE: Hearing again delayed for teen accused of murdering brother, 11
Skylor Atilano, 16, of Menifee, sits in court at the Southwest Justice Center in French Valley on Wednesday, Oct. 23. He is charged with murder in the death of his 11-year-old brother. SARAH BURGE/STAFF
A 16-year-old boy charged with murder in the death of his younger brother, whose remains were found near the family's Menifee home, was in court Wednesday, Oct. 23, but the proceedings were again postponed.
Skylor Atilano was arrested July 10 after the remains of his half brother, Terry Dewayne Smith Jr., were found buried in a shallow grave steps from their Helen Lane home.
Judge Timothy Freer postponed the hearing until Nov. 7 because prosecutors still have not received the autopsy report for Terry from the RiversideCounty coroner's office. The judge ordered that Skylor continue to be held at juvenile hall. No decision has been made about whether he may be tried as an adult.
Skylor sat next to his attorney Wednesday, wearing a shirt, tie and black pants instead of the yellow juvenile hall uniform from his previous appearances.
The boys' mother, Shawna Smith, and her partner, Dennise Bugna, were in the courtroom at the SouthwestJusticeCenter in FrenchValley. But the crowd of onlookers that had packed the juvenile courtroom for Skylor's initial court appearance in July was absent.
Terry was reported missing Sunday morning, July 7, and RiversideCounty sheriff's officials said his older brother was the last person to see him alive, on Saturday night, July 6, while their mother was out. Hundreds of volunteers rallied to help emergency workers find Terry — nicknamed "Juju" — and Skylor was involved in the search effort.
Coroner's officials have not disclosed Terry's cause of death and have said the time and date of the boy's death was unknown.

Arizona Wildcats football: The All-Mike Stoops team
Associated Press
Mike Stoops brought some bright stars to Arizona
Mike Stoops was the football coach of the Arizona Wildcats for 7 1/2 seasons, during which time he brought in some of the program's all-time brightest stars. Cornerback Antoine Cason won the 2007 Jim Thorpe Award as the nation's top defensive back and was a late first-round pick in 2008. Wide receiver Mike Thomas is the Pac-12 career leader in receptions.
Associated Press
Team lacks OL standouts, playmakers at LB
Tight end Rob Gronkowski was a beast -- albeit, all too briefly at Arizona -- before quickly becoming a star with the New England Patriots. Senior quarterback Nick Foles is on pace to rewrite several school season and career passing records in the next six week. There definitely were some high notes, but in putting together an All-Stoops team, a couple of issues emerge -- the dearth of standouts on the offensive line and a lack of explosive playmakers at linebacker. Here is a look at the best who played for Stoops -- the All-Stoops team:
Associated Press
Nick Foles
For now, Willie Tuitama has Arizona's career passing record with 9,211 yards, and his early commitment for Stoops' 2005 recruiting class was perhaps the first big sign that the program was moving again in the right direction. But Foles is closing in on Tuitama's record with 7,931 career yards. If he continues at his pace in the first half of the season (375.8 yards per game), he'll finish the season with 10,186 yards.
Associated Press
Mike Bell, Nic Grigsby
Stoops inherited Bell, who rushed for a combined 1,896 yards and 10 touchdowns in the coach's first two seasons at Arizona. Grigsby battled injuries in his final two seasons and wasn't able to replicate his sophomore season (1,153 yards and 13 touchdowns), but he did finish with 2,957 career rushing yards and 28 rushing touchdowns.
David Kadlubowski/The Arizona Republic
Mike Thomas, Juron Criner
Thomas was a contributor from his very first game -- seven catches for 92 yards and a touchdown at Utah in 2005 -- and never stopped putting up good numbers. By the time his career ended with a catch on the final play of the 2008 Las Vegas Bowl, he had a Pac-12 record 260 catches. Criner makes the list on the strength of his brilliant junior season (82 catches, 1,233 yards, 11 touchdowns). His 24 receiving touchdowns are tied for second in school history.
Gregory Shamus/Getty Images
Rob Gronkowski
He played in only 22 games at Arizona, sitting out 2009 because of back problems and then leaving for the NFL with two seasons of eligibility remaining, but he holds school season and career records for receptions, yards and touchdowns by a tight end. Gronkowski, a third-team All-American in 2008, had 75 catches for 1,197 yards and 16 touchdowns in those 22 games. And UA fans will forever wonder if his presence in 2009 could have lifted Arizona past Oregon in a mid-November game. The Ducks won in double overtime, robbing the Cats of the chance to be in the driver's seat for the Pac-12 title.
Mark J. Rebilas-US PRESSWIRE
Colin Baxter, Eben Britton, Adam Grant, Joe Longacre, Mike Diaz
Baxter, with a school-record 48 consecutive starts, is the clear pick at center. Britton was the only Arizona offensive lineman to earn first-team all-conference honors during the Stoops years. Grant persevered through injuries and became a second-team all-league choice in 2009 and 2010. Longacre, a guard, provided stability with 40 career starts. Diaz started 20 games after transferring from junior college, the bulk of them at left tackle during 2009.
Cheryl Evans/The Arizona Republic
Brooks Reed, Ricky Elmore, Earl Mitchell, Lionel Dotson
Reed and Elmore were high-energy ends for Stoops' most recent teams. Elmore had 21.5 sacks in the past two seasons. Reed earned first-team all-conference honors last season and had 17 career sacks. Mitchell and Dotson are the All-Stoops tackles. Mitchell was an anchor after moving from fullback for his final two seasons and developing into an NFL talent. Dotson's senior season in 2007 -- 50 tackles, including nine for loss and 6.5 sacks -- was the best for an Arizona interior defensive lineman in several years.

Larsen returned from a two-year church mission after playing as a freshman in 2002 and joined Stoops' squad for the 2005 season. He made 131 tackles as a senior in an All-Pac-10 season, and his 312 career tackles were the most for a UA player in the decade. Palmer, who started 41 games, led the Cats in tackles (85) and tackles for loss (11) in 2008. The third spot is up for debate. Sterling Lewis? Vuna Tuihalamaka? Paul Vassallo? All were junior college transfers. Kelley -- undersized but speedy -- was a four-year player who was second-team all-league in 2009.
Associated Press
Antoine Cason, Trevin Wade
Cason had 15 career interceptions, with highlight-making returns for touchdowns in a 2006 upset of No. 8 Cal and a 2006 upset of No. 2 Oregon a year later. Wade gets the nod over Wilrey Fontenot and others. Wade, a senior, has 11 career interceptions and 27 pass break-ups.
Tom Tingle/The Arizona Republic
Darrell Brooks, Michael Johnson
Brooks was a leader on Stoops' early teams and the coach's first all-conference player, winning first-team honors in 2005. Johnson was a key junior college transfer, with 107 tackles and five interceptions in two seasons. Plenty of other solid candidates to consider: Cam Nelson, Nate Ness, Robert Golden.
Rob Schumacher/The Arizona Republic
Danny Baugher
A leftover from the John Mackovic era, Baugher punter for Stoops for two season and was leading the nation in punting in 2005 when his season ended in the seventh game because of an ACL injury. His average of 47.5 yards that season qualifies as the school season record.
Associated Press
Nick Folk
Jason Bondzio was more accurate on field goals, but Folk had a big leg and went on to make a name for himself in the NFL. Folk, in 2006, also was the Pac-10's first-team all-conference punter, averaging 44 yards per attempt.
Mike Rynearson/The Arizona Republic
Syndric Steptoe
Steptoe was a versatile performer for the Wildcats, including two punt returns for touchdowns. He played briefly pre-Stoops in 2003, finishing his career with 1,584 receiving yards, 590 punt return yards and 1,757 kick return yards.

Exploratorium After Dark

Exploratorium To Be Transformed Into a Skate Park for 'Skateboard Science'
If you've been gunning for a Radiolab episode on the science of skateboarding, head over to the Exploratorium this Thursday to watch shredding pros Dennis Busenitz, Tony Trujillo and Elissa Steamer tear it up on an impromptu skate park built at the museum. As part of their After Dark series (meaning there's a bar), renowned skateboard designer and producer Paul Schmitt, known in some circles as "The Godfather of Skateboarding," will be on hand, along with Exploratorium senior scientist Paul Doherty to dissect the physics behind the skater's moves (insant-replays on a 14-foot Jumbotron).
Exploratorium After Dark: An Easy "Resolution"
If you're anything like us, you've got a dose of the post-holiday blues, perhaps compounded by stomach-rumbling from that new diet or the nicotine shakes. Luckily, there's one resolution in 2010 that's easy to keep: "Resolution" is the theme of Thursday's Exploratorium After Dark, the science discovery museum's series of events targeted at an adult crowd. This resolution, however, refers not to that promise to hit the gym more often, but to the basis of perception: the fine differences that allow us to perceive a variety of tastes, touches, and smells (and that probably got us into trouble with all those donuts and cigarettes in the first place).

College of Arts & Sciences The Graduate Division Professional and Liberal Education
This Halloween, the Penn Ghost Project is taking ghosts out of the shadows and bringing them into the classroom. The new initiative, fueled by the shared interest of six Penn Arts and Sciences faculty members who span a wide range of disciplines, kicks off this month with the Ghost and Healing symposium. The workshop is designed not to prove that ghosts exist but to show through diverse explorations into history, literature, religious studies, palliative care, and medicine that belief in ghosts has a direct economic, social, and medical impact in many different cultures.
The project is being coordinated by Justin McDaniel, Associate Professor of Religious Studies. McDaniel spent time as a Buddhist monk in Southeast Asia, where he often encountered rituals having to do with ghosts. He explains the motivation behind this group of scholars at Penn: "Many people have a natural curiosity about ghosts, so our goal is to bring them into a more serious kind of study—how they relate to people's fear of death and their coping with tragedy, for example. We want to provide resources for the public to think seriously about their beliefs," he says. "Moreover, culturally, there is a real and pervasive interest in ghosts, and so you can take this initial interest in a topic that we're inundated with in popular culture, and ask more difficult questions."
Though it's no coincidence the first seminar coincides with Halloween, the Penn Ghost Project—which grew out of a grant from the Mellon Faculty Workshop—aims to become a one-stop scholarly resource for everything ghost-related through future events and a comprehensive web site with articles, books, and film resources, as well as materials from other universities. This kind of rich content is made possible by the diverse research interests of the faculty team.
Projit Mukharji, Martin Meyerson Assistant Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies in the Department of History and Sociology of Science, is researching the history of ghosts and healing practices in India, while Marjorie Muecke, the assistant dean for global health affairs in the School of Nursing, studies ghosts and healing rituals in Northern Thailand. McDaniel, who has also spent time in Thailand studying the phenomena, says some of the views on ghosts there would seem familiar to Americans—though some are uniquely Thai. "One unique aspect is gender. In Thailand almost all ghosts are considered female. Which is not the same in the West, where the gender of ghosts is relatively balanced," he says. "Ghosts there are also considered very sympathetic beings. They're people that deserve our understanding—lonely entities to contact."
Other experts involved with the project include Professor of Slavic Languages and Literature Ilya Vinitsky, who focuses on the history of Russian mystical awakenings and interactions between Russian literature and various spiritualist and occult trends originating in the West. Joyce White, an archaeologist at Penn Museum who specializes in the pre-literate cultures of Laos and has done extensive excavations on burial sites in the region, has uncovered early practices in preparing for the afterlife. Associate Professor of the History and Sociology of Science David Barnes is a historian of medicine and public health who is currently writing a history of the Lazaretto quarantine station on the Delaware River outside Philadelphia, a magnet for paranormal investigators.
"As part of my research, I have become involved in the effort to preserve and restore the historic site," says Barnes, "an effort which has put me in contact with a variety of non-academics. Ghost hunters, for example, can be difficult to relate to as an academic, but they have their own very serious, sincere, and engaged way to make connections with the past through historic sites."
Each faculty member will participate in the symposium, along with experts from outside the university. In the future, McDaniel says, articles and books will hopefully grow out of the collaboration. "Despite cultural differences, it's striking how similar ghost belief is around the world, whether it's in Europe, Africa, Latin America, or Asia," he says. "It tells us a lot about humans that there's this collective fascination with unsettled beings that are caught between realms of reality. It impacts all corners of society and is an ongoing source for understanding the way we think."

Unbeaten Silver Eagles top Chargers
Aaron Clinton-Earl finished with 219 yards rushing, and Sussex Hamilton gave unbeaten Monona Grove its toughest challenge of the season, but Hamilton fell to the host Silver Eagles on Tuesday, 40-19.
The Chargers finished their year 7-3 after the loss in the opening round of the WIAA Division 2 playoffs.
Three turnovers in the first half led to 20 Monona Grove points, and the Chargers never drew even before the second-seeded squad put the game out of reach.
"Every team is good in the playoffs," said Hamilton coach John Damato. "I don't care what your seed is or your ranking. If you turn the ball over, it's going to haunt you. The last two games, we haven't turned the ball over and have been plus-5 (in turnover ration). It's hard to win when you're in the negatives."
A bad Hamilton snap on fourth down led to a blocked punt, giving the Silver Eagles possession inside the Chargers' 5-yard line, leading to the first points of the game. Hamilton answered with a 15-yard run by quarterback Dan Jaskolski to tie the score at 7-7, but Hamilton fumbled twice more to set up Silver Eagles scores.
Clinton-Earl scored to pull the Chargers within 20-13 early in the second half, and he later added a second touchdown, but Monona Grove pulled away in the final 24 minutes.
"He's a special player, one of the best I've coached and quite possibly the best running back to come out of Hamilton," Damato said of Clinton-Earl. "He will be missed, and he ran his tail off tonight. He was the catalyst for our offense and I couldn't be more proud of how he ended his career."
Monona Grove's touchdowns in the second half were the result of sustained drives, as Hamilton didn't commit a second-half giveaway.
"I don't know what their success rate was on third down, but it had to be over 70 percent," Damato said. "They had a couple third down strikes and a coules backbreakers. Just when you think you've got them where you want them, they end up converting. They're a well-coached team with fine athletes and they made some plays."
Monona Grove (10-0) allowed only 13 points during the nine games of the regular season.
Senior Mike Kelty sustained a knee injury but battled back to finish the game. Damato also credited senior linemen Dave Tran and Nick Ferschl.
"The senior class in general is a unique group," Damato said. "They have a big heart and great character and it's great what they left the Hamilton program with."

"Small Town, Grand Cathedral" Top 5 Page for this destination Bourges by yooperprof
Bourges Travel Guide: 51 reviews and 146 photos
Always, Architecture is intertwined with politics. This great Cathedral is no exception. It was the first Cathedral in the French Royal Style (a.k.a. Gothic) to be constructed south of the Loire. Building was started in 1195, just as the powerful King Philip Augustus was beginning his series of wars against the English monarchs (first Richard the Lion-Hearted and later King John) which would eventually result in ending the Plantagenets' dominion over most of northwestern France. Doubtlessly, royal and monastic support for the building of this enormous pile was a sign of their intention to make their presence known in a region previously "up for grabs".
It's possible that the master builder for Bourges Cathedral came here directly from Paris, where he would have been employed at Notre Dame. There are numerous parallels between the Bourges structure and the better known "cousin" in the royal capital.

How Parenting Styles and Crowd Contexts Interact in Actualizing Potentials for Development: Commentary
Rainer K. Silbereisen The Pennsylvania State University
Peer affiliations during adolescence tend to fall into two broad categories: peer cliques and peer crowds. Whereas the former are defined by mutual personal relationships among a small group of adolescents, most often manifested in frequent social interactions and shared activities, the latter are of a different nature. According to Brown ( 1990), crowds are "reputation-based collectives of similarly stereotyped individuals" (p. 177). More specifically, the affiliation among members of a crowd is not dependent on their actual interaction, but on common attitudes and behaviors ascribed by peers in school or from the neighborhood.
Belonging to a specific crowd helps adolescents cope with a basic problem. In the views of others and in their own perception, they gain what one could call a "provisional identity." Although crowd membership may foreclose the search for authentic identity for some time, this comes at the advantage of an increased security about one's place among peers, and in relation to expectations from institutions such as the school. In Eckert's (chap. 10, this volume) view, different crowds in school even represent different "communities of practice" -- meaning the totality of a group's own beliefs and actions vis-à-vis the institutional aims and constraints of schools.
I found this concept highly stimulating because it stresses that individuals within groups exert mutual influence on their behavior and development.

COLMES: We welcome Gary Bauer, who is with us.
BAUER: How you doing, Alan?
COLMES: Fresh from the heels of the debate. Mr. Bauer, welcome to HANNITY & COLMES. Good to have you here tonight.
BAUER: Thank you. Always bealways good to be with you guys (inaudible).
COLMES: Who won tonight? Who won the debate?
BAUER: Well, of course, I did. Look, I set out some goals tonight about getting very consistent questions answered about the sanctity of human life. And I can't believe Governor Bush had 36 hours to prepare for my question and he still blew it.
COLMES: Let methe other people you're hearing responding and laughing at what you just said, Congressman Charles Rangel from New York City is with us, and so is Rich Bond, former head of the RNC. So that's who you're sharing...
BAUER: Good to be with you gentlemen.
COLMES: ... that's who you're sharing the microphone with us tonight.
U.S. REPRESENTATIVE CHARLES RANGEL (D-NY): You were terrific, Gary, lot of humor, and you really stuck with your issues.
BAUER: Thank you, I appreciate that.
COLMES: That's Charlie Rangel, that's a Democrat who said that to you.
RANGEL: No, he was good.
BAUER: I think that's actually the congressman's effort to torpedo my campaign.
COLMES: Maybe that's what it is. Let'swe were just talking about the answer that George W. Bush gave when he was asked about his favorite philosopher, and he said Jesus was, and whether or not that could come off as exclusionary. We also know that he gave an answer to Houston Post about three or four years ago, when he said that anybody who doesn't accept Jesus Christ will not get into the kingdom of Heaven.
Now, I understand, I respect his religious beliefs. But there might be those who feel, well, that doesn't include them, and they may not feel that thatthey would be as included or accepted in a George W. Bush presidency with that kind of a philosophy.
BAUER: Well, Iyou know, I have a lot of arguments with Governor Bush tonight, but this isn't one of them. I don't think it's exclusionary at all. Those of us that are followers of Christ obviously believe he's changed our lives, and as I tried to indicate in my answer, I believe his teachings will make a president better...
HANNITY: Gary...
BAUER: ... to the extent that we have to reach out to the poor, we have to have racial reconciliation...
HANNITY: Gary...
BAUER: ... and we have to save our unborn children.
HANNITY: ... and we have to pay some bills. But we'll continue, more with Gary Bauer...
BAUER: Fantastic.
HANNITY: ... with Gary Bauer as we continue on HANNITY & COLMES. We want to say a special thank you to my good friend Charlie Rangel and Rich Bond joining us. Rich, thanks for being with us for most of the hour, appreciate it, always appreciate you being on board.
RICH BOND, FORMER RNC CHAIR: Thank you, guys.
HANNITY: When we come back, more with Gary Bauer. And don't forget our special edition of HANNITY &
COLMES, 11:00 Eastern tonight, as we'll be joined by Senator Orrin Hatch, Ambassador Alan Keyes, and others. We hope you'll be joining us as well, right after Paula Zahn on THE EDGE. Please stay tuned.
HANNITY: We continue now with Republican presidential candidate Gary Bauer. You had a couple of strong exchanges tonight with George W., one about China and one about abortion. Let's start with the abortion question first. How didwhat did you think of his answer?
BAUER: Well, I was disappointed, Sean, as I just said before we broke for commercials, I gave the governor 36 hours' advance notice on this. Look, there's no way Governor Bush would put a bigot on as a running mate. That's a fundamental question. We all agree on this. There's no way he would even put somebody on that believed in higher taxes, because that would signal that he wasn't serious about lowering taxes.
Why would he hesitate on a fundamental question of whether his running mate will be pro-life? I won't hesitate. Mine will be.
HANNITY: All right, fair enough, clear distinction between the two of you. It was interesting his answer, as you guys battled over China and the World Trade Organization, you know, he started quoting how many extra billion metric tons of grain from Iowa will be sold to the Chinese. I found the answer fairly impressive. What did you think?
BAUER: Well, I thought he was dead wrong, and for this simple reason. History ought to count for something. For 10 years, Sean, they've been telling us if we gave China most-favored-nation status, we would be able to sell more grain to them. Grain sales are lower now than they were 10 years ago. You put them in the World Trade Organization, and the WTO will kowtow to them so badly that Iowa farmers will be left out in the cold again.
COLMES: Gary, to this back issue of abortion, you certainly can't say that George Bush is pro-choice, you certainly can't say that he would favor a woman's right to choose, and doesn't want to overturn Roe versus Wade, which he said he wants to do, but the time isn't right.
So, I mean, how...
BAUER: Sean, (inaudible)...
COLMES: This is Alan, by the way. How antiabortion...
BAUER: I'm sorry, Alan.
COLMES: ... should he have to be?
HANNITY: Please.
BAUER: Look, when is the time right to overturn one of the worst court decisions in the history of our country? This is really a simple, fundamental question. The governor was interviewed in "Talk" magazine a couple months ago, and he was asked whether abortions had gone down in Texas. His response was, I don't know. Maybe they've gone down...
HANNITY: Gary...
BAUER: ... but if they did, it has nothing to do with me.
HANNITY: Gary, should that be for every cabinet position? Are you saying all your cabinetthe entire Bauer cabinet would be pro- life? That's a litmus test for everybody?
BAUER: On all the key appointments in my administration, this central principle withwill hold.
HANNITY: Does that mean every cabinet member?
BAUER: I will put...
HANNITY: Yeyou know.
BAUER: I will putI will put no bigots in my cabinet. I will put nobody in my cabinet that thinks it's OK to sacrifice the lives of innocent children.
HANNITY: All right, back to the Jesus Christ answer for just a quick second. Was that saying that the philosophy of men is inferior to that of Jesus, because (inaudible) -- Alan was creating a bit of a controversy about this earlier. Is that how you interpreted that?
BAUER: No, I interpreted it that Christ said things to the world that have not been spoken as effectively by anybody else. He told us where our liberty came from, he told us the path to salvation for those of us that believe in him. And I'velook, guys, we could do a lot worse than have Washington...
COLMES: Gary...
BAUER: ... senators, congressmen...
COLMES: ... thank you for your time...
BAUER: ... and presidents that believe in Jesus Christ.
COLMES: ... we got to take a break. Gary, thank you for being with us tonight.
BAUER: Thank you.

Phobia Clinic, 1st in U.S., Offers Road to Recovery for 25 Years
Published: November 24, 1996
(Page 2 of 2)
''It's almost like Alcoholics Anonymous,'' Dr. Fred J. Neuman, director of the clinic, said. ''We have this very powerful group dynamic that is pushing people to do those things they need to do in order to get better. At the same time we're following the general principles of cognitive behavioral therapy in the context of these very active and committed groups.''
Both the therapy and the support can be effective. Dr. Neuman said that the success rate for treating most phobias is between 90 and 95 percent.
Recovery time depends on the individual as well as the severity of the phobia. Some people may no longer be phobic after several weeks of treatment, while others may need months or even years to recuperate fully.
Evaluations are conducted six months after treatment ends and again four years later. The clinic has treated more than 1,500 people through its eight-week sessions, and more than 5,000 people have taken part in the clinic's self-help groups.
The founders also began a newsletter, which flourishes today and reaches people who otherwise might not get help, either because they are trapped in their houses with phobias or because they live too far away to go to the clinic. The newsletter, which is edited by Mrs. Chessa, is a combination of articles written by the professional staff as well as stories written by people about their own recovery from phobias.
Among the most common phobias are agoraphobia (the fear of open spaces), claustrophobia (the fear of closed places), as well as fears of flying, heights, driving, bridges, tunnels, elevators, escalators, being alone, darkness, crossing streets and hospitals. The clinic is running a new program for people who suffer severe health anxieties.
In 1971 the clinic's inaugural effort was to treat people suffering from the fear of elevators. Mrs. Powell was a participant. ''I remember vividly going to the elevator,'' she said. ''We stood outside and talked. I had a fear of getting stuck between floors. Another person had one of the elevator suddenly dropping, and a lot of people had a fear that they couldn't breathe in there.''
She began by riding the elevator with an aide, but with her back turned toward the door so she could experience the feeling of being alone. By the third session, she was able to ride alone from the second floor to the first. Eventually, the group branched out to other elevators within the hospital and then into other buildings.
Mrs. Powell, who went on to help many others, said certain cases stand out. One woman had been stuck in her home for many years. She would let no one in, and her family had to drop off groceries at the back door. Mrs. Powell spoke to the woman every week and finally told her she was going to the woman's house.
''I said, 'Look, I'm coming to your house, and you don't have to open the door, you can just look at me,' '' Mrs. Powell recalled. ''I told her I would leave the minute she wanted me to, which of course, I would do. Trust is critical.''
After some time the woman invited Mrs. Powell into the hallway. Eventually, she was permitted in the living room. Over time, Mrs. Powell was able to get the woman to walk to her front gate, then around the block and then to go out driving. Today, the woman is independent and goes anywhere she wants. Her story of recovery, while dramatic, is not unusual in the clinic's 25 years.
''It's incredible how the system works,'' Mrs. Chessa said. ''I got my life back.''
The phone number for the Anxiety and Phobia Clinic at White Plains Hospital Center is 681-1038.
Steps to Help in Controlling Fears
The following suggestions for controlling fear and eventually overcoming phobias were offered by Dr. Manuel D. Zane, founder and director emeritus of the Anxiety and Phobia Clinic at the White Plains Hospital Center.
*Expect, allow and accept that fear will rise. This reaction is automatic now because of past experiences.
*When fear arises, wait and let it be. Do not try to stop fear from coming or try to push it away.
*Focus on and do manageable tasks in the present. These are tools to help control fear.
*Label your fear level from 1 to 10. Watch and study what makes your fear go up and down.
*Function with a level of fear and appreciate your achievement. You are now controlling the process that generates fear.
*Expect, allow and accept that fear will reappear. Getting well is a learning process that takes time.
Drawing. (Samuel Velasco)

Haven't been doing much for the last couple of months-and that means anything. I've had a lot of problems but the one that has affected my riding has been a Joint and muscular discomfort. Even driving has been a problem but today--Fine morning- warm temperature- wind of 15mph from the SE. so timefor a ride.
Only a "Recovery" ride as I did did know how the hips-knees and thighs were going to stand up to pressure. one thing had to be on the cards though and that was a coffee and Breakfast on the seafront.
No pie but Scrambled eggs on toast as it was only 9am.
The history part. Back in the 18th. century England was experiencing a few problems with Napoleon Bonaparte so defences were built up along the Kent and Sussex coast in case of invasion. Locally we have several of the defence towers and a "Fort" called the Redoubt. This is right on the seafront at Eastbourne and was never used in anger as the invasion never came but it has been used as a military establishment ever since. Nowadays it is just a Tourist attraction but a lot of military history with Southern Army Regiments. As it was open when I passed- I took a look to find that it was an open day and the now defunct regiment of "The Diehards" was on show.
Only a few young lads and a loud Sergeant barking orders to them but apparantly they were noted as Sharpshooters within the British Army.
The redoubt was set up as a Gun emplacement but by the 1900's- the fort had become redundant as a defence site and in WW1 the guns were melted down for the scrap metal as they were "Old Technology". One has been "Borrowed" from Portsmouth and shows the seriousness that this defence was regarded. "Bony" was considered a real threat to England. The other pic shows that if "Bony" had landed and the cannons fired- There would not have been much left of Eastbourne.
Cannon.jpgEB Front.jpg
So on with the ride and a few miles to get in and a few slopes to see how I was going to fare. Plenty of other cyclists out today and I had a couple come past me on the back roads so decided to see if I could stick with them. Couple of youngsters in their 40's and I sat behind them for a couple of miles till a slope came up. Don't know how but I passed them and left them. These looked like serious riders and we were doing around 20mph before the hill. Then they just dropped into granny and spun--I didn't. Luckily the legs held up but the lungs did get a workout.
So only 30 miles at a gentle pace and not of much interest so just hope you enjoy the history.

Hong Kong Property Sales Bring Police Raid
HONG KONG—Police here raided the headquarters of Henderson Land Development Co. HLDCY 0.95 % , seizing documents and questioning individuals in relation to a number of canceled sales at one of the blue-chip company's luxury apartment buildings.
Commissioner for Police Tang King-shing told reporters that no arrests were made in its operation, though it had "invited a number of people back to the Commercial Crime Bureau to assist us in our investigation." Police declined to provide more details about the inquiry.
Wednesday's police raid follows an announcement by the Hong Kong government last month that its regulatory and law-enforcement agencies were investigating the cancellation of home sales at Henderson Land's 39 Conduit Road development in the high-end Mid-Levels neighborhood. The company said in June that 20 out of 24 apartment sales at the development had been canceled by the buyers.
The government announcement followed public concern about the cancellations. Legislators questioned whether the original transactions were authentic.
Mr. Tang said police had executed a number of search warrants at various locations during Wednesday's operations.
Henderson Land confirmed in a statement that the police were at its headquarters on Wednesday. The company said it will fully cooperate with the police investigation.
Henderson Land and its chairman, tycoon Lee Shau-kee, have repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in relation to the canceled sales, saying the transactions were legitimate.
The sales had drawn intense public and media interest because Henderson Land said in October it had sold a 6,158-square-foot duplex in the development at a record per-square-foot price of US$9,200. That unit was among the 20 canceled sales. Some analysts said the announcements of the sales helped push up prices in the broader property market. Mass-market apartment prices in Hong Kong soared about 30% last year.
The company said earlier it would take a charge of 734 million Hong Kong dollars (US$94.5 million) against its first-half earnings because of the cancellations.
Following the controversy, the government began requiring property developers to make transaction information available to the public five days after the signing of an initial sales contract. The government also introduced other guidelines and requirements on home sales that it believes will boost transparency and better protect consumer rights.

Day Six - Aguas Calientes & Putucusi
My Peruvian Adventure
After waving good-by to Vidal and our bags as the train pulled away, we began the two hour walk to Aguas Calientes. It turned out to be a nice hike and a great time. The weather was cool and most of the way was shaded. The route approached Machu Picchu from the west and north, so we got a great view of it from below that probably few travelers get to see. We had group bonding moment when we sang Stand By Me as we walked across a railroad truss bridge just like the one in the movie. We even had a temporary guide in the form of one of the local dogs who attached himself to our little group and lead us all the way to Aguas Calientes. We met up with Vidal just outside of town – he already had our bags moved to the hotel and checked us in.
In the afternoon, most of the group headed up to Machu Picchu. I wanted to do something different and Vidal suggested I climb Putucusi, which is mountain directly across the river from Machu Picchu. It turned out to be a pretty steep climb. Near the beginning, there is a section that has ladders where the climb is almost straight up. It turns out that some of the ladders had washed away and some of the others were rotten (which probably explains why I had the trail to myself). That made the climb even tougher, but it was well worth it when I got to the top. All of Machu Picchu, from the Gate of the Sun to Huayna Picchu was laid out directly in front of me on the other side of the river. It was a perfect place to see Machu Picchu.

"…we Masons are among the fortunate ones who are taught to meet together with others of opposing or competitive ideas and yet respect each other as Brothers."
– author unknown
By harnessing the desire of many men to do good works, Freemasons help others through their charitable endeavors, both in the local community, within the Commonwealth, and on a national scale.
The Masonic system of symbols and education has influenced leaders, philosophers, and artists for nearly three centuries. Through the application of timeless principles, Freemasonry enables every Brother to learn and grow.
Whether you attend your Lodge regularly, choose to get involved in the greater Masonic fraternity, or quietly enjoy the benefits of your membership, Freemasonry can accommodate you at all stages of life.
The bonds of brotherhood run deep in Freemasonry. The experience of membership creates friends for life through mentoring and social interaction.
Freemasons are members of a worldwide brotherhood, spanning language, class, and continent. Wherever a Freemason goes, he'll find a Brother.
Our fraternity claims no religious or political creeds. Our members come from a diverse background of faiths, traditions, and life experiences, providing a safe atmosphere for the sharing of ideas and building of relationships.
Leadership and Vision
Brother Raymond T. Dietz, Right Worshipful Grand Master, has articulated a bold vision for Pennsylvania Masons during his term of office.
Pennsylvania Freemasonry wants to grow, and we need you to help! Utilizing the tools provided by our leaders, you can help the Fraternity prosper in the Commonwealth.
Brother Dietz brings a world of experience, both in secular and fraternal life, to the office of Grand Master. Learn more about him and your other Grand Lodge leaders.
Celebrating Our Past,
Planning Our Future
Pennsylvania Masons have their roots in the founding of America. Pennsylvania has long been home to Brothers, whether it be the halls of Philadelphia, the timber ranges of northern PA, or the captains of industry in Pittsburgh. Since 1730, the fraternity has bound together men from all walks of life.
Our future is even more exciting! By educating our current members in the values and symbolism taught in our Lodges, Freemasonry provides mentoring and guidance to the next generation of leaders and innovators.
"Those who are happiest are those who do the most for others."
Bro. Booker T. Washington
Supporting worthy endeavors in our local communities provides a means for Pennsylvania Masons across the Commonwealth to help others in a meaningful way which they can witness and experience every day.

Booking Info
The philosophy of Military Mondays is to provide elopement services to all active military, free of charge, as an alternative to a courthouse civil ceremony. During these tough economic times, we, as well as the professional wedding vendors that participate with Military Mondays, wish to help those that serve us so proudly, understanding that they can't afford a full service wedding or, even a trip to the courthouse. We are honored to help our hero's and give back what we can.
Please Note: This is NOT a wedding!
This is an alternative to the courthouse for a ceremony.
There is a limit to the amount of people that may witness, no exceptions. There are no save the date cards, park permits, no invitations, giving away of the bride, there are no chairs, altar, flower petals, processionals, etc. Simply, a courthouse celebration but, with a much prettier view.
- Full-Time ACTIVE Military ONLY.
- Military ID Required. (Reserve, Retired, etc. not eligible)
- No Vow Renewal services.
- Couple MUST have valid marriage license. (No License, No Ceremony!)
- Booking request is no more than 4 weeks out.
- Free elopement services are ONLY offered on Mondays. No exceptions!
- Only 7 additional witnesses. No exceptions.
THE FOLLOWING Q&A's MUST BE READ AND UNDERSTOOD. PLEASE READ……
ALL Military Mondays celebrations are subject to RAIN CANCELLATION. We will send cancellation notice at least 48 hours prior if there is a forecast of rain. Couples may book another date by returning to this website and reapply for anopther posted available date.
Is the elopement ceremony really free?
Yes, there is no charge on our part at all for the elopement ceremony or the filing of your marriage license on your behalf with the County Clerk following the elopement (if requested). Most military couples wish to file the license themselves to help speed up the process with the County Clerk.
Are there any costs?
Yes; the cost of the Marriage License (Public or Confidential) and the fee the County Clerk/Recorder imposes for a registered copy of your license once processed. These costs are paid directly to the County Clerk/Recorder.
Do you or any other vendors expect any type of payment, gratuity or gift?
There is no payment due for your elopement ceremony. Each and every volunteer associated with Military Mondays is a premier, professional wedding vendor from the area who is donating time, talent and/or product to your special ceremony. With this said, all we ask is that be mindful that these services are indeed a gift. At a minimum, be gracious. As for a gratuity or gift, that's up to you…
We were already married in a quick civil ceremony, can we still have an elopement?
Sorry No. We do however offer Vow Renewal services through Say I Do Again™ on other days of the week. We understand that you wish this service was available when the two of you got married however, for us to turn away another couple because we have booked time with another couple who is already married, just would not be right and we appreciate your understanding.
Are we required to attend premarital marriage classes or counseling?
Not at all.
Do we need a witness?
You will need at least one witness for a "public license" ceremony. No witness is needed for a "confidential license" ceremony. In most cases, the Military Mondays™ photographer and/or Chaplain Mary and Rev. Christopher are present and can also act as the witness for you.
Why are you offering this?
It's just a way for us to say "Thank You" to those that serve our country, no matter the branch of service, rank or time in the military. You do have the choice; get married in a quick civil ceremony at the local courthouse by the Justice of the Peace or Clerk or join us seaside in a more romantic setting.
What type of ceremony will our elopement be?
In addition to being romantic with a beautiful view, it's your choice… we serve as Chaplains; this allows us the opportunity to observe all faiths, beliefs and yes, even non-beliefs. Unlike the civil ceremony at the courthouse, you may request as much spirituality or observance of your faith as you wish!
How many people can join us?
Seven (7) more people can join you. Our policy is 10 people total, including the three of us! Sorry, no exceptions. Remember this is an alternative to the courthouse.
Can we have chairs and an altar?
No, this is an elopement, this is not a way to get a free wedding ceremony; it's an alternative for the two of you going to the courthouse. As long as you're not taking advantage of us, we're here to serve you!
What about acts of celebration?
Sure, we allow the Sand Ceremony or the Lei ceremonies to be added. Just be sure to bring the items with you and we'll include them in your elopement ceremony.
What about photography?
Your friends are more than welcome to take as many photos of the celebration as they wish.
What about signing a photo/video release?
By requesting Military Mondays elopement services; you are agreeing to the following in addition too any other release an individual photographer/videographer may ask for.
+ Any and all images may be used by the individual photographer and Vows From The Heart Ministries for advertising and marketing purposes without any compensation.
+ If a Military Mondays photographer volunteers their services, all images (high quality) will be given to the couple AND Vows From The Heart Ministries with Copyright Release for non commercial use and priniting.
Can we hire our own professional Photographer, Videographer, etc.?
No, This would defeat the entire philosophy of Military Mondays; which is to provide elopement services to active military members as an alternative to the courthouse ceremony.
+ Let's be honest, if you can afford a professional wedding photographer, you can afford to hire all of us through Elope to San Diego. Keep in mind that it would be insulting to all of us that are donating our time, talent and resources to make this a special day for you knowing someone is actually getting paid.
Do I have to be stationed locally?
Not at all, if either of you are FULL TIME ACTIVE MILITARY and the two of you can be here on a Monday, and if we're available, let's make the magic happen!
Do I have to wear my uniform?
We would prefer it of course but, this is an elopement and you can wear whatever you wish. Besides, this is San Diego; shorts and flip-flops are considered proper attire on the beach for an elopement! Ask us to wear beach attire and we're in!
Where do you offer these elopements?
We currently offer our services at: Oceanside at the Oceanside Marina Hotel, San Diego at the Bali Hai Restaurant in Shelter Island, Coronado Island at Bay View Park (Couple only no witnesses) and on Coronado Island at the Hotel del Coronado Dunes on Central Beach (based on availability).
Are there restrictions to the locations and times?
Yes, we offer this service on our availability and on a first come, first served basis. For example; if we have already scheduled a sunset elopement on Coronado, then all other requests for elopement services on that specific Monday will take place at that location working backwards from that sunset time already booked. If we already have a ceremony scheduled at Noon, additional requests will go forward from there and so on.
Do you offer services on Holidays?
Sorry NO. Not that we don't want to be part of the magic but, getting anywhere near the coast, beach or park in San Diego on a Holiday is next to impossible. Also, County offices are closed and obtaining a license is not available. There are a few Mondays that we will be out of town and unavailable as well.
What do you need from us?
The two of you and a valid California Marriage License and Military Identification showing current active Military status! Plus, we also ask for the following….
+ Be courteous. If you change your mind; (which does happen from time to time), call us and tell us so I'm not sitting at the location waiting for you. Also, please send us an email fro, the same email address where your confirmation was sent.
+ Be on time if not early!; If you're running late, you may have to wait for the next opportunity that day or reschedule for another time. On busy days, there is no room for tardiness.
+ Be understanding; If we become ill or traffic issues arise.
+ Be understanding; Things happen and you may have to continue with your original plans with a ceremony with the County Clerk.
+ Because everything we offer, including some of the additional services at NO COST… We WILL NOT be held responsible for ANYTHING in the event your ceremony must be cancelled.
+ Any financial loss in YOUR planning (for example; transportation, accommodations, transportation, floral, clothing, etc.) is your financial loss alone.
Are you available last minute?
If we're available, of course! Just give us a few hours to get everything together and I'm there for you!
How do we make it happen?
Fill out the online form, put in the Monday(s) that would work best for you and I will send you back an email with what is available. It's really that easy!
What happens if it's raining or rain is in forecast?
ALL Military Mondays ceremonies are subject to RAIN CANCELLATION. We will send cancellation notice at least 48 hours prior if there is a forecast of rain. Couples may book another date by returning this website to reapply for a posted available date.
NOTE: Until spring 2016, cancellation of your Military Mondays is possible due to the El Nino Weather pattern affecting the Southwest.
READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE FILLING OUT THE FORM BELOW: By filling out the form below and requesting our services, you agree to EVERYTHING WRITTEN ABOVE. If you did not read it in its entirety, we suggest you take the time to do so to avoid any and all miscommunications in our services and what is being offered.

Big Rig Power DPF Delete kits are used to enhance the diesel engine power and performance. You can add many superior features to your diesel engine with the help of these kits.
The beauty of these kits is that you can provide a faster time to spool the engine and can reduce the exhaust temperature to many degrees. With these performance kits,a greater fuel economy can be achieved, but this economy varies with geographical location and different driving styles.
There are two main substantial gains with these kits:
- Greater and better horsepower
- Much better torque gains
The results of these gains variability across different engine makes. With the better horsepower and lower exhaust gasses, a problem of rising exhaust gas temperature occurs to solve this problem you have to make other alterations for better performance.
Diesel performance kits have numerous advantages like
- With better exhaust system, you get an impressive engine sound
- With better breathing engine runs with more power
- Better torque
- Decrease in EGT (Exhaust gas temperature)
These features are a lifeline of any diesel engine, with improvements in these features engine life expectancy get much better.
For any diesel engine, it is very important to have a good and unhindered airflow systems. With unhindered airflow into the engine, big amount of oxygen enters the engine, and the fuel burning ratio gets better and results in better power and performance.
Air management system in the order engines were comparatively straightforward because they were not required to meet tough exhaust emissions needs. In those engines, the only requirement was to ensure the intake of clean air and adequate flow to gain peak power and torque objectives. There was no active intake side hardware to control the airflow. With the development of the performance kits, a new era is started. Now it is possible to enhance the engine performance many-folds.
Watch this video
Nowadays, with the diesel performance kit's air intake method of diesel engines have got advanced. In the normal scenario,vehicle manufacturers build the air inflow tract via the fender or radiator bulkhead. By using the latest performance kits, you can take advantage of a robust airflow system. These kits are designed by experts to ensure a steady and thrusting air inflow. Many new mechanisms are in use like advanced steel pipes models and oil based synthetic filters that ensure a steady flow of air into the engine even when full of dirt.
