COLFAX, Wash. (AP) — The Whitman County sheriff's office says a 64-year-old Spokane man was killed when his Harley Davidson left a road near St. John while he was riding in a group with four other motorcycles.
The sheriff's office says Thomas E. McCracken was ejected Sunday and died and died at the scene.
A second motorcycle also drifted into gravel on a turn. A couple from Spokane Valley suffered minor injuries and were taken to Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane.
The motorcycles did not collide. All of the motorcyclists were experienced and were wearing helmets and protective clothing.

Neko Case kills art contest, gets into it on Twitter
I noticed something in my Twitter stream late last night. Singer-songwriter Neko case was getting into it with artists and designers.
From what I can gather from the long string of tweets, Neko had invited artists and designers to create a poster for her upcoming "The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You" tour to support her new album. The winner would get $1,000 prize and Neko, a visual artist herself, would end up working directly with the winner. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

I have been working with freelancers throughout my career and recently, thanks to services like oDesk, I find myself doing it more often. So you might think that I am happy with what I get, at least in general. Well, one of the reasons I continue to stay engaged is my high tolerance for pain – I am prepared to go through piles of hay to find that needle. And I have to tell you, looking for freelancers is very much like digging for gold – you literally have to go through tons of dirt to find it.
Interestingly enough many freelancers who have skills, knowledge and maybe even talent often torpedo themselves, aggressively sabotage their chances of getting customers right in the begging of the process. They make simple yet lethal mistakes that turn off clients before they got the chance to learn about freelancer's ingenuity. Below are some of those mistakes:
- Not reading my post before you reply to it. Your three page long template proposal will get you in a recycle been faster than anything else. At least adjust your opening statement, show me that you read the post…
- Not using proper grammar and spelling. English is my second language and still work in progress; I still straggle with grammar myself, yet many responses I see push that envelope way too far. Grammatically poor introduction screams in my face "Communicating with this freelancer will be a real pain!" Spelling mistakes are even worse – how can I entrust my project to someone who doesn't even make an effort to turn on a spellchecker?
- Talking with me like I am a teenager. Your slang (especially when combined with ESL marvels) comes across as complete lack of intelligence and class. By the way, spellchecker is not likely to recognize your "gonna", "wanna", "gimme", take a hint.
- Being excessively polite. Your culture and language might require twenty minutes of praise and compliments before you get to business but I am an American, cut to the chase guy. More so, being overly polite and using somewhat unusual forms will telegraph a wrong image, your mentioning my "ultimate wisdom" only makes me think of a snake oil salesman.
- Not being punctual / prepared for your interview. I think of proposal / interview stage as a "honeymoon" in a relationship with a freelancer, it all goes downhill from there. Late for your Skype call? Having troubles finding your headset? Can't introduce yourself? Chances are that's the last time you'll hear from me.
Don't think I'm done here: I am only getting warmed up; it's just my 500 word limit coming up. I guess will continue in my blog.

Gays in the Ranks: Who Cares? about Three Fourths of Military Personnel Say They Would Be Fine with Serving Alongside out Gays and Lesbians. So Why Can't They?
Kuhr, Fred, The Advocate (The national gay & lesbian newsmagazine)
Brian Fricke wanted to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather, who served as a sergeant in the Marines. So he joined the elite fighting corps in 2000.
Fricke knew, even as a teenager, that to join the armed forces meant giving up personal freedoms. What he didn't realize was how much more difficult that would be for a gay man--who would have to be closeted.
Two years later, while he was stationed in Okinawa, Japan. Fricke had had enough. A friend and fellow marine was going on about having sex with women when Fricke blurted out, "You know, I'm not attracted to women."
Fricke, now a sergeant, says he half-expected to be kicked out of the military right then and there. But his peer's reaction shocked him: "Oh, really? That's no big deal."
"No big deal?" Fricke recalls thinking at the time. "Despite the type about 'don't ask, don't tell' and the trouble gays would cause in the ranks [if they were allowed to serve openly], it was not that big of a deal. And it wouldn't be today. I remained Corporal Fricke, and I happened to be gay."
Indeed, a recent Zogby poll shows that 73% of service members say they would be comfortable serving alongside gays and lesbians. A poll in 1993--the year the Pentagon's antigay "don't ask, don't tell" policy went into effect--reported that only 13% of enlisted personnel supported gay soldiers, demonstrating why there is now a strong push to end the ban on gays serving openly. A bill to repeal "don't ask, don't tell" is being reintroduced this year in Congress. It's gaining an impressive list of cosponsors, while the list of retired military leaders publicly coming out against the ban is growing into an all-star gallery of top brass.
In January, John M. Shalikashvili, retired chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and former secretary of Defense William Cohen both publicly urged Congress to reconsider the "don't ask, don't tell" policy [see sidebar].
The Zogby poll showed that nearly one in four service member report knowing that someone in their unit is gay or lesbian, including 21% of those in combat units. "We have known anecdotally that many gay service members are opening up to at least some of their colleagues," says Steve Ralls, communications director for the Service-members Legal Defense Network, a Washington, D.C.-based group advocating for gay soldiers. "And those who know a gay colleague are more open to repealing this discriminatory policy."
Aaron Belkin, director of the Michael D. Palm Center (formerly known as the Center for the Study of Sexual Minorities in the Military) at the University of California, Santa Barbara, helped design the poll to test whether the statistics would bear out the anecdotal evidence. "In one sense the change is surprising because it has only been a decade and a half since the policy was instituted," says Belkin. "But there has been huge cultural change and public opinion shift in that time, and that affects the opinions of those who serve in the military."
So why hasn't the ban gone the the way of segregation, especially during a time when qualified personnel are desperately needed overseas? The problem, says Vince Patton, 52, a retired U.S. Coast Guard master chief petty officer, is that people from his generation are just plain stuck. "Gen Xers are more accepting of gays and lesbians and more tolerant in general," he says. "It's more than just an issue of sexual orientation for them. It's a matter of freedom of expression. The under-40 crowd has a lot more intelligence when it comes to these issues than those from my era."
In 2003, Patton participated in "Operation Handshake" as an adviser to the USO, spending three weeks with U.S. troops in the Persian Gulf and Southwest Asia. While talking with soldiers during a tour of Afghanistan, he asked them if they had any problems serving alongside gays. No one expressed a negative opinion.
The soldiers cared only whether their fellow soldiers were willing to do the job and watch their backs, Patton recalls. …

Dead Anyway
by Chris Knopf
No current Talk conversations about this book.
In DEAD ANYWAY by Chris Knopf (©2012), Arthur has a great life, until he nearly loses it. Dragging himself back to the living, he sets out to find who is responsible. Although we know, generally, what he's up to, it's fascinating how he goes about trying to identify the culprits. I suppose if I'd stopped reading and thought about it, I might have deduced more of his plan; but I couldn't stop reading. Arthur's way of narrowing the probabilities to figure out what to do next is very engaging. He has a tidily precise mind, which is devious and obsessive. We zip through the details of his plan like we're hanging on at the back of a speedboat.
And the sometimes-likeable supporting characters are icing on the cake.
Hope you enjoy DEAD ANYWAY as much as I did.
Excellent reader, superb story, although one key bit of motivation was missing & this leaves a cliff hanger.
I liked the hero a lot. As a heroic figure, Arthur truly is although he's no he-man. His atypical body type & physical issues really make the suspense & trials pop. He's exactly the sort of man that would be a force to reckon with today. He's an obsessive computer geek with a wide range of knowledge & interests. His job as a market researcher was unexpected & a perfect fit.
Even better, most of the computer stuff was very well done. There were a few things I didn't care for, but I doubt most would notice them. This is what I do for a living, though. I have to say he did far better than most & some could have been done simply because it would fit the average reader's knowledge better or saved him from getting into a confusing mess. At least he kept his logic consistent, even if a few basic things were wrong.
I loved the way all the characters were drawn. Quite an interesting assortment with a mystery & thrilling search. Well worth reading.
Amazon review:
Dead Anyway was a gripping mystery, but ultimately disappointing to this reader. The plot is intriguing and launches quickly. Arthur Cathcart arrives home to find his wife Florencia held at gunpoint. The assailant forces her to fill in a mysterious set of five written questions, then shoots them both in the head. Florencia dies, but Arthur survives, albeit with some brain damage. Early in his recovery, stricken by grief, and unable to imagine continuing his former life without his wife, he decides to fake his own death, and avenge his wife's murder. Arthur uses a combination of real-world and internet sleuthing to pursue the culprit. He is assisted by a reporter, an ex-cop, and most notably by his sister and a Casino worker, with whom he (predictably) falls in love. The events are generally plausible, but late in the book, there are a couple of twists that seem more like artifice than reality. The end of the book left one "problem" completely unresolved, clearly opening a path to a sequel. However, the most serious shortcoming, from my point of view, is that, by the end, all the main characters turn out to be criminals or accessories. The moral empathy I felt for the protagonist was demolished, and the book became a "Who cares?" for me.
I had a similar problem. Loved the first part -- which was a how-to like Thomas Perry -- but got confused by the second half an frustrated by the open ending (why Florencia embezzled the money). May be the start of a second novel.
Read 9/13
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.Whether this is the start of a new series for Chris Knopf or a one-off, Dead Anyway is a fast-paced and entertaining hunt for a killer. When marketing researcher and investigator Arthur Cathcart witnesses the brutal death of his adored wife, Florencia, while surviving the same intended fate himself, he is determined to discover why his wife was targeted by hit men and who hired them. Spending months in a coma after the attack provides Arthur with the perfect cover: he convinces his sister, a neurologist, to have him declared dead. Although he still suffers some physical and mental impairment, his former profession gives him the knowledge and skills to adopt and discard identities as needed as well as hack into computer systems to gain information. Along the way he finds romance and acquires some strange companions in his hunt for his wife's killer.
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.I have to agree with some of the other reviewers...it's just got that WTF way about it. I can't say I didn't like it (cuz I did) but some of it was just so outa league with normalcy. To be suffering from a head injury to the point the book wants us to believe and then to turn around and take us down the complete opposite road is just well...it's not good writing. It made me feel like the author thought I was the brain damaged one who couldn't see through the veil that was placed over my eyes. Kinda insulting. i know 1st hand what it's like to recoup from a brain injury (for me it was surgery tumor removed) and let me tell you...it ain't fun and games and quick thinking. Okay so but heres the thing i DID LIKE the book. I just wish the author had done a bit more research and made it more realastic OR turned into he got superpowers or something after the shooting. yah know..shrugs..i dunno

Classical Guitar Takes The Stage At Millikin
By Sean Crawford • Mar 12, 2014
This weekend, Decatur will play host to some pretty serious guitarists. It's the annual Mid America Classical Guitar Ensemble and it will be held at Millikin University. It's mainly for those who study classical guitar at a college level.
While those students will have a chance to learn, they can also perform. And there are opportunities for the public to hear some tremendous musicians.
Duo Melis, featuring Spanish guitarist Susana Prieto and Greek guitarist Alexis Muzurakis, will perform at 7:30 Saturday night at the Kirkland Fine Arts Center. There is an admission cost.

Perfect for Thanksgiving: French Apple Pie
With the holidays around the corner, it's time to start thinking about Thanksgiving … and especially desserts for Thanksgiving. In our house, we typically have two pies — a pumpkin and an apple. Honestly, I could eat the entire pumpkin pie by myself, though I am not sure that the family would approve.
For the apple, my favorite is a homemade version that I've been making for several years. It has a delightful sweet and crumbly top that goes so well with the sweet-tart apples inside.
It's always a hit with kids and adults around my Thanksgiving table.
What pies are traditional in your house for Thanksgiving? Share in the comments below!
French Apple Pie
yields one pie
When you read this, and when you make it, you may find yourself thinking that the amounts are just too much. They aren't. The apples cook down in the oven and the crumb topping compacts as well. Don't worry!
1 good quality pie crust (I like Oronoque Farms)
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
dash of salt
8 cups peeled and sliced apples (about 1/4 inch thick)
1/2 tbsp vanilla
Crumb topping:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup firm butter
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in apples.
Pour apple combination into the pie crust, making them slightly higher in the center than on the sides. Sprinkle vanilla over the top of the pie.
Place pie in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour and brown sugar for the crumb topping. Cut in the butter and mix until crumbly. Alternatively, you can add all the ingredients to a food processor and process until evenly textured.
Remove pie from the oven and sprinkle crumb topping over the apples. Place pie back in the oven and cook for an additional 30-35 minutes.
Let cool on a wire rack. Serve warm…with vanilla bean ice cream.

A new meta-analysis published online in PLOS ONE by infectious disease and epidemiology specialists from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania highlights significant gaps in hepatitis C care that will prove useful as the U.S. health care system continues to see an influx of patients with the disease because of improved screening efforts and new, promising drugs.
In the largest study of its kind, the team examined data culled from 10 studies between 2003 and 2013 and found that less than 10 percent of people infected with hepatitis C in the United States — 330,000 of nearly 3.5 million people — were cured (achieved viral suppression) with antiviral hepatitis C treatment. The researchers also found that only 50 percent of people were diagnosed and aware of their infection; 43 percent of those with the disease had access to outpatient care; and only 16 percent were prescribed treatment.
"This study puts forth a good baseline of hepatitis C care in the United States over the last 10 years—which will be useful in monitoring the success and impact of new screening efforts and advances in antiviral therapy," said the study's first author,Baligh Yehia, MD, MPP, MSHP, an assistant professor of Medicine in Penn's division of Infectious Diseases. "There are many people who don't know that they have the infection, don't have access to hepatitis C care and medications, and who haven't been treated. With this data, we can see these gaps more clearly. This information will be useful for ensuring better access to hepatitis c care and treatment in the coming years."
In June, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services began reimbursing for hepatitis C virus screenings for two target populations, including baby boomers (those born between 1945 through 1965) and those at high risk for the infection. Six months prior, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approved sofosbuvir, an oral medication shown to cure most cases of hepatitis C infection, with fewer side effects than the current treatment options. Other drugs — which have shown success in clinical trials, some conducted at Penn Medicine—are expected to gain FDA approval within the year.
"The new regimens will be game changers in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C," said senior author Vincent Lo Re III, MD, MSCE, assistant professor of Medicine and Epidemiology in the division of Infectious Diseases and department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology at Penn. "Given the high prevalence of this infection, particularly in baby boomers who didn't know they were infected, having new, highly-effective treatment options to eradicate the virus will be a tremendous benefit to patients that will ultimately help us to reduce liver-related complications and re-infection rates."

Students at the Valdosta Early College Academy are getting on a school bus. Not to go home, but to learn to make the right choices. It's called the "Choice Bus."
"The experience on the bus was very inspirational in showing how when you do drop out, how your actions can affect your whole life," said seventh grader Antrez Miller.
The Choice Bus travels across the country, giving presentations to students on how making bad decisions can lead them down the wrong path, even to jail.
"Any choice you make can be affected in any type of way," said seventh grader Laneigh Alford. "Good choices will be affected in a good way, and bad choices will be affected in a bad way," said Alford.
"The Choice Is Yours," an effective slogan, which organizers say hopefully resonates with each student they visit.
"This is our future, I think we have to give them hope, we have to empower them to let them know that there is something greater," said Choice Bus Presenter John Paul Taylor.
The program, brought to Valdosta by State Farm, Valdosta City Schools and the Mattie C. Stewart Foundation, encourages students to stay in school to be able to make more money when they get older, and have a better life.
"Still, if you do get an education and if you are the best student in class, it doesn't matter what choice you make it still is going to have an effect in your life and how things work out in your life," said Miller.
The "Choice Bus" will be at Lowndes Middle School on Friday.

My home was built in the 1960's. I know I need more insulation in the attic but my question is this. Is insulation only needed to keep the heat in? I am worried about moisture and insulation. Is is possible this insulation could get wet? The room below the attic is the kitchen and moisture kinda collects on the kitchen walls. Will the insulation prevent moisture in the kitchen? I hope I am making sense. Thanks

iHerb Customer Reviews
I had been taking a much more expensive "HGH" formula for 3 months and decided to try this homeopathic one. The results are like night and day! This one really has juiced my metabolism and I started losing weight naturally right away.
Love this product. I tried it several years ago, and liked it then. Forgot about it for a while and now have tried it again. It seems to take longer to see the differences now that I'm older, 49, than when I was 39. But after 3 weeks I started to see some weight loss without changing anything, my skin looks better, may pores have become smaller, my face looks younger and glowing. I also feel more energetic.
strong , quick absorbtion
Posted by Reviewer1834175 on May 02, 2016
very strong under the tongue, and easily absorbed. my body defies my age, just as the bottles' name suggests.
Awesome product!
Posted by Reviewer2703037 on Feb 18, 2016
I've been in perimenopause for a few years and have had absolutely no energy, zip, nada. There are dozens of products I've tried for energy and hormone balance but none of them really helped much or just made me feel jacked up. After two doses of this all I can say is wow. I felt a difference with the first dose when I got it yesterday. this morning I took a dose before my normal forced workout. I was not only able to work out longer but didn't feel like I needed a nap afterward as is unsual for me. I can say I definitely feel a difference and it's not a placebo. If it were a placebo I was looking for then at least one of the other dozens of products I've tried would have given me this effect. To those who say it can't work because it doesn't have a discernible dose of the active ingredients I say duh, it's homeopathic. It's not supposed to have a traceable amount of the active ingredients. That's not how homeopathy works in the first place. they are dilutions which work on energetic principles, not just giving you a huge dose of something. Research how homeopathy works before saying it can't work. Anyway, I like it and if I keep having the effect then I will continue to use it all the time.
ITs good
Posted by Reviewer2740715 on Jan 14, 2016
This one is good, easy to apply and it makes me feel a bit more energetic. For losing weight, it seems to help improving my problem of water retention. I will definitely continue to use this.
Nothing special

No improvement whatsoever
Wanna Look Younger?

Then buy this product. 2 sprays 1-3 times a day (depending on how much you want to reverse time) and then watch the mirror. In about 3 months, the lines on your forehead, around your eyes and smile lines will actually start to disappear! You will definitely want to get taking this product!

|The course is all right for the begining golfer the staff though they really need to start drying the morning dew off the greens eariler than they do they to start about 8:00 and they don,t start on first green they go backwards starting on 9 instead of #1.That is my only gripe other than I wish it 18 holes but I love playing there I always play either on Tuesday or Thursday. I play on Tuesdays with my Father and my Uncle's neighbor and Brother and A Gentlemen I that know in the morning and during the evening I play with my retired Father's textile plant's league. The staff are friendly Ruby and Kim and Shirley are just as good people that you could want to know but the course is alright other that what I mentioned. That's my reason for four stars.

Brian's woodworking career began with making greenwood-style chairs over a quarter century ago. It is his pleasure to keep this traditional way of chairmaking alive and apply all he has learned about designing for comfort.
The greenwood method harnesses an ancient technique that uses the wood's natural shrinking and swelling to keep the joinery tight. An essential element in this tradition is wood selection: green, fresh red maple for the legs and slats, with dried hickory for the rungs. After the stool is assembled, the high-moisture maple dries around the hickory, resulting in a strong, long-lasting handmade chair without the use of nails or glue.
The Greenwood Barstool is available with your choice of seat weaving and finish options.

Fidel Castro Gives Up on Communism
The moonbats running the media and the federal government are virtually the only people left on the planet who still believe in communism — now that even Fidel Castro has given up on it:
Fidel Castro told a visiting American journalist that Cuba's communist economic model doesn't work, a rare comment on domestic affairs from a man who has conspicuously steered clear of local issues since stepping down four years ago.
The fact that things are not working efficiently on this cash-strapped Caribbean island is hardly news. Fidel's brother Raul, the country's president, has said the same thing repeatedly. But the blunt assessment by the father of Cuba's 1959 revolution is sure to raise eyebrows.
Jeffrey Goldberg, a national correspondent for The Atlantic magazine, asked if Cuba's economic system was still worth exporting to other countries, and Castro replied: "The Cuban model doesn't even work for us anymore" Goldberg wrote Wednesday in a post on his Atlantic blog.
Other than imploding Venezuela and frozen in amber North Korea, the USA — known as the Land of Liberty prior to Obama's "fundamental transformation" — is the only country on earth moving toward the dysfunctional nightmare of communism rather than away from it.

Ford Mod Motors - Swap In A 4.6Written by Douglas Glad on April 14, 2009 Contributors: Christopher Campbell, John McGann, Year One, The Mustang Shop Don't Hate The Mod--Be A Hero When You...
On a cold, goopy SoCal winter day, a couple of members of the CC crew were on a field trip to the Blinn Avenue Pick Your Part in Wilmington, California. About halfway through the Ford section, we were surprised to see an all-aluminum V-8 engine discarded upside down on a slab. What was it doing there? Why did someone throw away something with factory overhead cams and cross-bolted main caps? Had it been half-price Tuesday, we would have bought the thing just for the sake of saving a chunk of American aluminum, but we wouldn't know what to do with it. Instead, we became interested in the pariah of Mustang engines, the 281-inch (4.6L) mod motor. Can it be swapped into a muscle car-era Mustang? Should it be? Should we just buy a '96-and-later 4.6 Mustang instead? We have looked for the answers to these questions so you can decide for yourself.
4.6 Two-Valve
To be brief, the 4.6L is called the modular motor because it can be easily changed from V-6 to V-8 to V-10 configurations. There are iron-block 4.6L engines with two-, three-, or four-valve heads, iron or aluminum blocks.
While the two-valve started life in 1991 powering big cars like Crown Victoria then Thunderbird it's performance potential and broad appeal started with Mustang. In late 1994 Ford introduced the SN-95 Mustang, a new chassis replaced the aging but cool Fox 5.0 platform and a modern engine was promised to go with it. The '95 Mustang retained the original 5.0L engine, and the '96 was the first to feature a two-valve version of the 4.6L V-8 with an iron block. The engine featured factory aluminum heads and overhead cams that promised to eliminate the theoretical high-rpm problems presented by pushrod valvetrains.
The '96 Mustang GT had a 225hp rating (although most references say 210 to 215 was the actual output) and changed little until the introduction of the Power Improved (PI) cylinder head in 1999. The PI engine was rated at 260 hp because of a new combustion chamber design, intake runner shape, and cam timing. The PI iron-block two-valve 4.6L can be found in the '96 to '04 Mustang GT and the '01 to present Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis.
4.6 Three-Valve
In 2005, the Mustang GT got a new 4.6L engine with a three-valve head. The additional intake valve and improved cylinder head flow numbers upped the factory rating for the Mustang GT to 300 hp. Because the 4.6L three-valve is a Mustang application, it already has plenty of aftermarket support, and because of extra valve area, it is perfect for superchargers. In addition to centrifugal kits from Paxton and Vortech that advertise up to 500 hp, Ford Racing offers an Eaton supercharger kit that adds 100 hp and a big-boost kit that adds 250 hp that is 50-states legal and in some cases has a warranty.
4.6 Four-Valve
If you had a little more coin in 1996, you could buy an SVT Cobra instead of the Mustang GT. The Cobra was equipped with the aluminum-block 4.6L with a dimensionally larger four-valve Swirl Port head and a rating of 305 hp. These engines used Intake Manifold Runner Control (IMRC) that improves performance when a second runner opens in the plenum. The engines are referred to as having B-port heads and were available in '96 to '98 Cobras. The 4.6L four-valve engine continued in the '99 to '01 Cobra without the IMRC and with the addition of the redesigned Tumble Port heads also referred to as C-port heads. This engine also eliminated the return fuel system and added coil-on-plug ignition. The C-port Cobra engine was rated at 320 hp.
Likely the ultimate 4.6L four-valve appeared in the '03 to '04 Mustang Cobra with an Eaton supercharger and a rating of 390 hp. The real potential is revealed with a freer flowing exhaust and added boost via pulley change or supercharger swap (it's not really headers; it's more after the manifold and the boost that gets in) that push the engine to more than 500 hp at the crank.
The Cobra wasn't the only vehicle that featured a 4.6L four-valve engine. The '03 to '04 Mach One, Mercury Marauder, Lincoln Aviator, and the '93 to '98 Lincoln Mark VIII also have a version of this engine.
The 5.4 Four-Valve
The iron-block 5.4L (330-inch) engine is found in some Ford SUVs, and a similar engine can also be found wedged into cars such as the '07 to '09 GT500 and '00 Mustang Cobra R. There is also an aluminum dry-sump version in the supercharged Ford GT. The 5.4L from the '99 to '04 Navigator has an iron block and four-valve heads rated at 300 hp. It is likely the engine you will run into in the yard. The alternative is a crate engine from Ford Racing. Currently, you can purchase a supercharged 5.4L GT500 Cobra engine that makes 500 hp or the Shelby Super Snake 5.4L with the Eaton Twin-Vortices four-lobe 160-degree twist supercharger for 605 hp and 550 lb-ft.
In 1999, the SVT Lightning truck was equipped with a supercharged two-valve version of the 5.4 called the Triton V-8. Our sources agreed that these rare supercharged engines, as well as other naturally aspirated 5.4L two and three-valve engines can be tempting but have intake manifolds that choke down the horsepower and have limited aftermarket solutions. These engines are also packaged for trucks, meaning they are tall, wide, and less suitable for swapping into your Mustang.
Swap It!
So what should you swap into your early Mustang, Falcon, or Cougar? The dominant swap is the '96 to '01 iron four-valve 4.6L Cobra engine with a manual transmission. Instead of trying to find a Cobra in the yard, swappers were buying the complete drivetrains directly from Ford. Recently, Ford's supply of replacement Cobra engines has been drying up, forcing people to look for other sources. Ford Racing's answer to dwindling supply is the Aluminator, an aluminum version of the same engine with a forged rotator and '03 to '04 Cobra heads and camshafts. It is available with 10.0:1 compression or 8.5:1 as a true supercharger-ready Cobra replacement. The other source for the four-valve 4.6L is the '03 to '04 Lincoln Aviator, Mercury Marauder, or the '93 to '98 Lincoln Mark VIII.
To get the 4.6L four-valve into a '64 to '66 Mustang chassis, everyone agrees that the shock towers need some fabrication. Dimensionally, it is possible to install a four-valve engine without cutting, but this swap is about more than just wedging a modern engine into an old chassis. It's about jumping into a car that feels new with throttle response and handling and looks like an early Mustang. Initially, the barrier to entry was the expense of the modifications and the cost of the engine itself. Now complete engine kits are available that can be installed by do-it-yourselfers with a garage MIG and some car-guy skills. There is also a small window of engine availability because wrecked 4.6L-powered vehicles are starting to show up in the junkyard.
Another engine that is virtually free in the junkyard is the 4.6L two-valve. This is proving to be the budget-oriented swap for guys who want the wow factor of the big, modern engine in their Mustangs and Cougars and don't care to make more than 400 to 500 hp. To sweeten the deal, you can buy an Edelbrock carbureted manifold and chuck the fuel injection (or don't buy it), eliminating the hassle and expense of computer tuning and complicated high-pressure fuel systems.
We've included the details of a swap performed by The Mustang Shop in Auburn, Washington, some pointers from Year One about its swaps, and as much information about the 4.6L as we could, along with a quick junkyard tour that reveals what is available in the yards. It's not all the information to get a complete drivetrain into your car, but it might just be enough to get you interested in doing this swap yourself.
Ford Racing Three-Valve Control Pack
The future of this swap is the three-valve 4.6L engine from the '05-and-later S-197 Mustang GT. If you have an early Mustang, the engine will fit just like a four-valve. If you have a kit car, street rod, or maybe even a Ford truck, it should drop right in. The Control Pack from Ford Racing makes it easy.

While we were in the yard, we came across this Lincoln Mark VIII. These cars came equipped with a 4.6L four-valve that is essentially a '96 to '98 Cobra engine only with a cast crank.This is a '66 fastback modified by the Mustang Shop with an '01 Cobra four-valve 4.6L with the Tremec 3650 purchased off of eBay complete from a wrecked Cobra. It put down 300 hp at the wheels.The first step The Mustang Shop used to get the block into the car was the RC Motorsports suspension kit. It consists of the tubular upper control arms, coilovers, a rack-and-pinion steering system, an engine crossmember, and a disc brake kit. The factory shock towers need to be removed for the installation and the support brackets need to be welded to the chassis. This could be done by a car crafter with a flat garage floor and some welding skills. The Mustang Shop recommends sending the car to an alignment shop to be sure it is square before you start.The '64 to '73 cars are rear steer. The RC Motorsports kit eliminates that and adds a rack-and-pinion in front of the crossmember. The stock Cobra rear sump pan will fit, so if you do not have the pan or if you run into a pan that no one has seen before (it happens), you can buy one from Ford Racing or use an aftermarket road race pan from Milodon (PN31120).It is possible to use the stock radiator (four-core heavy-duty) for the swap. The upper connection is on the right side (passenger) and the lower is on the left (driver) side. The Mustang Shop recommends an aftermarket radiator in any case.All the factory accessories will bolt in with the RC Motorsports kit, including A/C. The engine sits in about the same position as a standard 289 or 302, but because the mod engine is shorter, it looks like it is farther back in the engine compartment.The Mustang Shop has the best luck with Ford Racing shorties that are designed for the GT Mustang (PN M-9430-E464). They go in with the motor and clear the stock steering shaft.Most of the installations we've seen have used five- or six-speed manual transmissions. The easiest way to mate a standard transmission to a '64 to '73 Mustang is to find a wrecked Mustang GT and use the factory T45. It will fit without altering the floorpan, but you need to make sure you match the number of bolts on your crank flange to the number of bolts on the flywheel. It can have either six or eight bolts. The larger Tremec TKO 500/600 requires the floor to be raised to get the transmission and driveshaft angles correct.
If you buy a complete engine and transmission, be sure to get the original harness and computer. We've seen complete used drivetrains selling between $2,500 and $3,500. An engine wiring kit from The Detail Zone is about $850 and will add everything you need to control the drive-by-wire throttle body and fuel system. It is possible to use a stock harness and make it work on a relay or control module board, but that is a job beyond the scope of this story.For the carburetor guy, Edelbrock and Sullivan Performance Products make a carbureted 4.6L intake manifold. You still have to control the ignition, so Edelbrock sells its intake with a coil-on-plug controller. That saves cash, wiring time, fuel system expense, and a lot of other things you might not want to deal with. If you are doing this swap just to get fuel injection, you can swap one onto your 302 for a lot less cash.There are a couple of options for the fuel system. Fuel-injected applications will need a fuel pump and regulator, and if the computer is modulating the fuel pump, a return system. If you are running a carb, a low-pressure fuel pump will do.The easiest backyard way to install a fuel system is to braze an additional pickup on the fuel tank and run a factory fuel-injection pump that is capable of producing more than 40 psi. If you want an exotic system, use a fuel cell from Fuel Safe with an internal pump, a -6AN feed to a regulator, and a -4AN return.Modern Mustang clutches use a pull-type cable system. If you are swapping from an automatic, you can buy a pedal assembly so you can use a stock clutch. Complete conversion kits with a pedal go for about $300.If you just want to plug a 4.6L two-valve in and go cruising, The Mustang Shop has test-fit the engine into a '67 to '73 Mustang/Cougar chassis to see what would happen. Pictured is the shock-tower trimming necessary to get it to fit. The company says it will need motor mounts and an aftermarket oil pan to make it work.The Mustang Shop and RC Motorsports aren't the only ones offering swap systems. Griggs Racing can swap in a 4.6L four-valve using its tubular crossmember on the '64 to '73 chassis. This is the Year One '67 fastback Dynacorn body. Griggs' system is for any small-block or Windsor and is available for all modular motor applications for the '64 1/2-'70 Mustangs. If you are interested, you can also swap a modular into the 5.0L Fox platform.

Kim Kardashian Rescues Dog
zimbio / CC
This season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians has been so crazy! What with Khloe and Lamar Odom's recent wedding and house-shopping—did you see those enormous houses?! Oh, those closets, I couldn't stop thinking about all the shoes I could get in there!—and all the fighting over Kourtney's baby … addicted.
Did you catch this week's episode? Well, in case you missed it, Kim earned herself two paws up when she came to the rescue of a sick, abandoned Chihuaua she found outside of a nail salon.
After having no luck finding the dog's guardian, Kim decided to take her to the shelter only to change her mind, name her Princess (of course!), and take her home. It turns out that Princess needed surgery and when Kim took her to the vet, the vet's assistant fell madly in love with her and decided to adopt her.
Yay, I love a happy ending! But wait, there's more … Kim was really touched by the whole experience and ended up volunteering at the shelter where she had originally taken Princess. And at the end of the show they encouraged their viewers to always adopt from their local shelters with a special onscreen message. I think my girl Khloe is rubbing off on them.

From Bolivar to Chavez
Ard, Michael, The American Conservative
FEW FIGURES expressed Latin America's tragic sense of life better than its liberator, Simon Bolivar. Disillusioned by his failure to unite the former Spanish colonies, Bolivar in his final days lamented that those who serve revolution in these lands "plow the seas."
That has proved a useful metaphor for most Latin America watchers, who tend to linger on intractable problems-corruption, economic blunders, instability, poverty, and racism. Many books, such as Eduardo Galeano's The Open Veins of Latin America, have encouraged Latinos to blame foreigners, above all the United States, for the continent's chronic failures.
Michael Reid, the Americas editor of the Economist, sees things differently. In his highly readable and sweeping Forgotten Continent: The Battle for Latin America's Soul, he argues that the region, in spite of its persistent poverty and inequity, has achieved a quiet revolution of sound and lasting reform. Marxist insurgencies, military dictatorships, and economic breakdowns still linger, but they are on the wane.
If true, Reid's assessment is good news for the United States. Richard Nixon said, "People don't give a damn about Latin America now"--and the same words could have been repeated after 9/11--but most Americans recognize the shortsightedness of such a view. Trouble south of the border invariably ends up on our doorstep.
Reid emphasizes that the importance of Latin America extends far beyond its effect on the United States: its welfare constitutes a vital element in the forward march of the global market. For him, Latin America "has become one of the world's most important and testing laboratories for the viability of democratic capitalism as a global project."
Economic progress in the region, he contends, has disproved theories about dependency, or the imperial legacy of Portugal and Spain, that used to be the standard academic explanations for Latin backwardness. Most Latin American countries now accept the so-called "Washington Consensus," a menu of neoliberal reforms directed by economists during the 1980s. And though neoliberalism has been discredited in name, policies of fiscal responsibility, privatization, inflation fighting, and lower tariffs have taken root across Central and South America.
Some key political leaders converted to the new creed. Brazilian President Henrique Cardoso, for one, abandoned ideas that blamed the region's problems on predatory foreign capitalism and led his country's privatization and currency-reform efforts. Even Chile's socialist government has embraced neoliberalism, and the Andean nation is now poised to join the ranks of developed nations with successful export-led growth models.
Producers throughout Latin America have recently increased the value of their core industries. Brazil's investment in biotechnological research and development, for example, has turned the country into a leader in plant-based fuels. Its sugar-derived ethanol is far more efficient and sustainable than the U.S.'s corn-derived variety.
Latin American nations are improving their human capital, too, training their people to compete in the global market. Mexican businessmen developed the Monterrey Institute of Technology, with branches all over the country linked to local business needs. This educational advance stands in pleasing contrast to the nation's state-run universities, which for years were geared to churning out unemployable liberal arts majors.
The embrace of market ideas in Latin America, Reid observes, came from the most improbable sources. General Pinochet, after his coup in 1973, started Chile on the road to economic reform. And in Mexico, the authoritarian and protectionist Institutional Revolutionary Party began liberalizing its economy to recover from the 1980s debt crisis. Several other nations followed suit, instituting central bank independence and relaxing trade restrictions. Some hope to negotiate their own NAFTA agreements with the United States. …

OKC Thunder: Examining the budding rivalry between Serge Ibaka and Blake Griffin
One hails from the Republic of Congo. The other from right here in Oklahoma City.
One played his formative ball in Europe. The other starred 20 minutes down the road at the University of Oklahoma.
One has shed the label of foreigner, endearing himself to the Thunder faithful. The other has become a local NBA villain, transforming into the face of a cross-country rival.
It's Serge Ibaka verse Blake Griffin. The adopted son against the forgotten one.
And it's one of the league's most intriguing head-to-head matchups, with the latest chapter in this wacky tale of sports loyalty set for Thursday night in OKC, when the Clippers visit the Thunder.
"They have that budding rivalry," said Thunder forward Ryan Gomes, who played with Griffin for two years in Los Angeles. "They're both at that power forward. Blake is from Oklahoma and Serge plays in Oklahoma. So there's a little bad blood between them."
Bad blood that continues to boil over every time they meet.
The latest example came last Wednesday in Los Angeles, when the duo got tangled up after a collision in the paint.
Griffin hooked Ibaka's arm in a strange position, Ibaka threw him off, Matt Barnes got involved and a brief shoving match ensued. When tempers tamed, Griffin was given a technical and Ibaka was ejected, a controversial decision that changed the complexion of the game.
But despite the questionable sanctions, given the participants, it only increases the intrigue and adds to their growing history.
"Blake is a very aggressive player around the basket," TNT NBA analyst Steve Kerr explained. "Serge takes great pride in his defense and doesn't want to give up any dunks. And so they frequently meet in the paint in a situation where they're going right at each other."
In 2011, Ibaka swatted a Griffin dunk attempt. In 2012, Griffin returned the favor with a ferocious slam on Ibaka's head. Then in 2013, things got weird.
Last January in Los Angeles, as Ibaka attempted to closely defend Griffin in the post, Griffin tried a face-up move, which inadvertently put Ibaka in a strange-looking headlock. Then two months later, as they were grappling for rebounding position, Ibaka nailed Griffin with a not so inadvertent looking shot to groin area.
It earned Ibaka a flagrant and some brief ire from the NBA world.
"I probably would have smacked him in the mouth," Kobe Bryant said at the time.
But this budding rivalry has become about much more than these recurring tussles.
The two 24-year-olds, both locked into lucrative long-term deals, play crucial and competing interior roles for a pair of Western Conference heavyweights.
And as both continue to raise their level of play – Griffin is averaging 22.9 points and 10.9 rebounds, Ibaka 14.0 and 10.5 – the impact of their individual matchup will hold more weight.
And the drama between these two will only build.
"As teams, I don't know if (the rivalry) is there yet," Gomes said. "But as individuals, (it is)."
And we already know which side Oklahoma City is taking. Hint: It's not for the hometown kid.
Serge Ibaka vs Blake Griffin: Tale of the tape
As a first overall pick, Blake Griffin entered the league with monster expectations.
As an international draft and stash, Serge Ibaka arrived in the NBA as a relative unknown.
But a half-decade into their careers, and nearly a quarter-century into their lives, the rival duo collides at a relatively similar point.
Let's look at the tale of the tape:
Interior offense
To reach their individual ceilings, both must make vast improvements in this key area. But Blake is clearly the more polished of the two. He's comfortable on the low block, showing an ability to score, pass and make the right read. At times, you can run an offense through him. At this point, you can't say the same about Ibaka. Edge: Griffin
Outside shooting
Quietly, Ibaka has become one of the best shooting big man in the league. He's deadly from 10 to 16 feet (55 percent in that range last season) and steady all the way out to the three. Blake, meanwhile, shot 36 percent in that 10 to 16 foot range last season and looks uncomfortable any deeper than that. Getting better, but still not near Serge. Edge: Ibaka
Ibaka has made a concerted effort to become a more prolific rebounder this season and you can see the tangible difference. He's averaging 10.5 boards through 10 games, nearly three more than his career-high. But Griffin has been at that double-digit level since the day he set foot in the league. For his career, he averages 10.4. Just comes naturally to him. Edge: Griffin
Interior defense
Ibaka has led the NBA in blocks for two consecutive seasons, using his lanky 7-foot-4 wingspan to erase shots. But Griffin, with far less length (6-foot-11 wingspan, small for a big), has had trouble protecting the rim. He has never averaged more than 0.7 blocks per game. And that seems like an unfixable flaw. Edge: Ibaka
Long-term potential
At this point, and likely down the road, Griffin will be viewed as the better player. And that's fair. He has a higher ceiling and is more productive now. But I think the gap is closer than people believe. And I'm not sure the Thunder, who need rim protection and secondary scoring more than another shot-commanding star, would trade one for the other. Edge: Griffin
What they're saying
TNT NBA analyst Steve Kerr on Ibaka…
-"I think he has the chance to be elite defensively. (But) offensively, it's tough to really see him develop into a star. He's got a nice jump shot, but he doesn't really have a feel."
-"He's not a passer, he's not the kind of guy with a low post game. So you don't fear him. He's really a complementary player on offense. But he's good, he's just not great. And I don't expect him to be great offensively. I think we would have already seen the development of his game by this point."
"I look at big man in the scope of their offensive potential down the road. Can they get on the low block and can they command a double-team? And since (Ibaka) can't really do either, I think he's just going to be a complementary jump shooter off of Westbrook and Durant."
Kerr on Griffin...
-"Blake has more potential than Ibaka as an offensive weapon because he is a really good passer and you can run an offense through him."
-"(The Clippers) have to be able to throw him the ball and get baskets late in playoff games. Very few players can do that, where you can count on them to score in very tough playoff games. He's not there yet, but I know he's working at it and Doc is working with them."
-"He's not a guy who you think of in switching pick and rolls and being really good at staying in front of people. He's not bad, but he's not (Anderson) Varajao and he's not (Joakim) Noah. He's solid defensively, but he's not a great rim protector. And he's not a guy with the potential to be dominant because of the lack of length. And that's where Serge can be so good and is so good at times."
Former NBA coach and current ESPN analyst George Karl on Ibaka...
-"I think with the makeup of Oklahoma City, he's probably between (star and complementary piece). He's going to have to be third fiddle. Westbrook and Durant are top-10 players. So the responsibility, the percentage of responsibility, is never going to be grandiose to the point where he can become a superstar or a super, super player. I think he's going to be a player that can become a major part of team."
-"If he would choose to become a leading man or leading player on a bad team right now, which I would not recommend, to play for stardom rather than championships. I think it would be an interesting experiment, where there's a part of me that thinks he could make it and a part of me that probably thinks he would fail."
Denver coach Brian Shaw on Ibaka's potential All-Star candidacy...
"He's not the dynamic type star player who you typically think of as an All-Star. But as coaches, we understand the value of what he brings to his team and the contribution that he makes toward his team being a winning team. So I don't think that'll be taken lightly when that comes to voting."
Ryan Gomes on Ibaka...
"I think he's getting to that elite level. I think he's a little bit underrated…Now he's that third guy. You always got to have those two superstars and those other guys who want to be a superstar and their game is at that level. And I think Serge's game is there and I think he's gonna show it. Over the last five or six games, he's been phenomenal for us on both ends of the floor."
Ryan Gomes on Griffin...
"I think Blake has improved as the year's have gone, especially shooting from the outside. Of course he's not Dirk Nowitzki yet, but you got to honor him more than you did earlier in his career. When I was with him in LA, it was just a lot of paint catches, a lot of paint dunks, easy layups, transition points. But as his game evolves, he got better at making the jump shot."
Ryan Gomes on the comparison between the two...
"Athleticism-wise, they're about the same but different. Serge is more defensively athletic, but Blake is more in the air, turn, do 360-layups, stuff like that. As far as games, I think they're similar. They both rebound the basketball at a high rate. Serge is better defensively and offensively he can step out and hit his shot more efficiently than Blake can."
