The four candidates for Ann Arbor's next Huron High School principal are also being considered for the Pioneer High principal job.
The names of the candidates at Huron were not released publicly until Tuesday during a forum at the school.
Huron Assistant Principal Jason Skiba, Community Dean Jen Hein, Jackson High Associate Principal Tracey Lowder and North Farmington Hills High Assistant Principal DeeAnn Lacy are the four finalist candidates for both positions.
Each of the candidates went through several interviews with the superintendent's executive team before being introduced to the Pioneer community last week and the Huron community Tuesday.

Though much of the presentations given by the four candidates at Huron Tuesday were nearly identical to what they presented a week ago at Pioneer, most of the candidates took care to tailor their deliveries to Huron.
Hein, Skiba and Lowder each wore a touch of green in their outfits Tuesday at Huron.
Skiba was the only candidate who spoke about why he is applying at both Huron and Pioneer.
"It's not a question of which school you like better," Skiba said. "It's about working here in Ann Arbor. I want to take the opportunity to grow myself."
All of the candidates spoke to Huron's accomplished student body and said they wanted to continue that tradition of excellence. All four candidates also said that they wanted to develop a vision for the school during their first 90 days in collaboration with multiple stakeholders involved.
Though Lowder, Lacy and Skiba each presented a more structured entry plan for their first 90 days, Hein took a different approach in giving her vision for a dream high school.
As a former Huron assistant principal, Hein recalled many Huron anecdotes in her presentation Tuesday night.
Lacy, who was questioned for being too clinical at the Pioneer forum last week, admitted at Huron that she's very research-based. Her presentation at Huron included fewer business management references.
Lacy said now is a good time in her life to look for new opportunities, as her children are now grown up and some of the staff she's worked with for years at North Farmington have left.
Lacy, who said she is a conservative person, said Ann Arbor balances a strong local arts culture with an element of conservativeness in a way that appealed to her.
Lowder admitted at Pioneer last week that part of his motivation for seeking a job in Ann Arbor was so that his children, ages 13 and 10, could attend AAPS.
Questions from the audience at Huron Tuesday night were heavy: How would they work to close the achievement gap? What strategies would they use to remove the school's Focus school designation? How will you help students deal with stresses like drugs, peer pressure and home problems? How would you support staff through the growing pains of a new principal?
The question that gave many of the candidates pause was what they considered to be the best achievements in their careers.
Lacy said that while she didn't think she had a best moment, she was very proud of a peer mentorship program she started within the last year for minority students.
Hein said she viewed daily student success as her personal greatest achievement.
"My best achievement is when people are giving above and beyond because they're encouraged to do that professionally," Hein said. "I could not narrow it down to one thing."
For Lowder, he looked to his time spent at an elementary school in Jackson where he worked to raise achievement in a challenging environment.
At both schools, committee teams of staff, parents, teachers and students have interviewed the four candidates and have submitted recommendations of their top two candidates to Superintendent Jeanice Swift to review.
The audience members at both public interview forums has also been asked to rate the candidates, which will also be part of Swift's decision-making process.
Swift promised the approximately 30 people in attendance at the public forum Tuesday night that she would likely be conducting her final interviews with the top candidates selected by the committees from each schools within a week.
Swift also promised that she would not settle in her search for a Huron principal—and that she would make sure that the hire is the right match for Huron.
"Getting to that decision is the next step, but I'm already thinking about all the ways my team is going to support the Huron staff through this transition every day of the coming year," Swift said.

HUNTSVILLE, Al. - Martha Pullen has written more than 50 books on sewing and business. She has a television show, "Martha's Sewing Room Series," that's broadcast on 85 percent of PBS stations around the country.
She's published magazines, sponsored seminars known as "Martha Pullen School of Art Fashion." Her sewing schools, held twice a year, regularly bring more than 600 women to Huntsville.
They come from France, England and Australia. One, from Holland, "does all the sewing for the royalty there," Pullen said.
Another, from Japan, brings her own interpreter so she can become a Martha-Pullen-licensed teacher.
"Sewing," Pullen said, "is kind of a universal language."
So is entrepreneurship. It's a language that's had a hold on Pullen since her childhood in Scottsboro. She was a student at Scottsboro Elementary School - a fifth-grader, as she recalls.
A representative from a publishing company came to Scottsboro to give a motivational speech to her elementary school, which was holding a magazine sale.
The man told Pullen's class about the prizes that would go to the winner. He instructed the students on effective selling techniques.
Call your friends, the man said. Call your family and friends in town and out of town.
Have your parents sell on your behalf.
"One of you sitting in this auditorium will be the top salesman?" Pullen recalled the man saying. "Who will it be?"
At that moment, Pullen vowed to be the top salesman in the school. And she was.
She was the top salesman in the school the next year, too. Thus began her love of business.
When she entered Scottsboro High School, she started her own business at 14. Before she could drive a car, she had a successful dance school.
Each Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., she gave dance and baton lessons. By her senior year, she had 100 dance students and 50 baton students.
"I love people," she said. "If you don't love people, you don't need to be in sales, period."
She also loves sharing her beliefs on business. Among the ways she does this is through her books.
In "You Can Make Money from Your Hobby," published in 1999, she has a chapter on "The Making of an Entrepreneur."
"The success is to do what you enjoy doing!" she writes. "To love what you do or do what you love. I love teaching sewing and I love doing seminars. We love producing publications that people appreciate and buy. We seem more like a family than a customer/business relationship.
"In short, I adore my business, my employees, my customers, my business colleagues and my lifestyle. That is a true blessing from God."

While refusing to confirm that Rice has been hired, the school announced Tuesday it will hold a news conference Thursday to introduce its new coach.
A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Monday that the 41-year-old Rice has been chosen to replace Fred Hill.
Rice raised his profile during the NCAA tournament when No. 15 seed Robert Morris of the Northeast Conference pushed second-seeded Villanova of the Big East to overtime in a first-round loss.
"He is the real thing," Saint Joseph's coach Phil Martelli said in a telephone interview. "People want to say it was at a lower level, fine! Or that he is 41, fine! He has only been a head coach for three years.
"I will be honest with you, I think he is going to excite the whole state," added Martelli, who was Rice's boss for two seasons. "I think that Rutgers will take its place — it will take some building and patience — but he is going to excite that fan base, the RAC and the basketball community that is New Jersey."
Rice faces an uphill battle in replacing Hill, who resigned two weeks ago after agreeing to a settlement. The Scarlet Knights went 47-77 in four seasons under Hill, including a 13-57 record in the Big East.
Rutgers also lost Big East defensive player of the year Hamady Ndiaye after this past season, and leading scorer Mike Rosario decided to transfer to Florida.
Quinnipiac coach Tom Moore, whose team lost to Robert Morris in the NEC tournament title game, said Rice will bring passion to Piscataway.
"It is a great fit for Rutgers because the job is one where it is now requires a great deal of enthusiasm and passion, and he has that in bunches," said Moore, a former assistant under Jim Calhoun at Connecticut.
The fiery Rice also will demand that his teams play defense. Robert Morris was among the NEC's best in field-goal percentage and scoring defense, using a tough man-to-man in his three seasons.
Moore was impressed with the way Rice held his players accountable on defense, noting a defensive error was more likely to get a player pulled out of the game than an offensive mistake.
Robert Morris went 73-31 during Rice's tenure, including a 53-9 mark in the NEC. The Colonials won or shared three consecutive regular-season championships.
"I pay him the ultimate compliment — he is a basketball coach," Martelli said. "He should not be labeled strictly as a recruiter. He should not be labeled strictly as a game coach or strictly as a public relations guy. He is strictly a basketball coach. I would say his style of coaching is that he competes and he demands that his players compete."
Martelli is somewhat amused that people were surprised by how well Robert Morris played against Villanova. He said that's the way the Colonials played every night.
Martelli thinks that the challenge of turning around Rutgers excited Rice.
"I think that is the reason Mike took the job," Martelli said. "I think he is going to get up every day and say, 'Let's get better.' He is going to expend every ounce of his energy and efforts and he will expect that from his staff, the players and the administration. It is a requirement for him taking a job that Rutgers be relevant in the Big East."
Rutgers has not made the NCAA tournament since 1991.
"I would almost guarantee that he will not say to himself once next year, 'What did I get myself into?'" Moore said. "You have to be forward thinking and in that league every day is a fight, and that's what he is. He is a fighter."

Robert Downey Jr. Confirms 'Iron Man 4' Plus AMA Highlights Regarding 'Sherlock 3, 'Doctor Who,' 'Avengers Age of Ultron'
Posted on Tuesday, October 7th, 2014 by Germain Lussier
Back and forth we go with Iron Man 4. Robert Downey Jr. isn't doing it, then he's maybe doing it, then he'll do it if Mel Gibson directs, then joked he'll do it if Howard Stern directs. Honestly, there's so much out there about the film, no one knows for sure what's happening.
That was, until, Downey Jr. hit the couch on Ellen. When asked about Iron Man 4, Downey told the host that "Yes," Iron Man 4 is happening.
Below, you can watch that video as well as read a ton of highlights from his recent AMA including teases that he'd love to cameo on Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, updates on the development of Sherlock Holmes 3 and a Perry Mason film, possibly playing Doctor Who, the shift in marketing for The Judge, the likelihood of a Weird Science sequel, a few cryptic Avengers: Age of Ultron teases and the controversy of his Tropic Thunder character. Read the Robert Downey Jr AMA highlights below.

A woman with a suspended driver's license, an unregistered car and multiple traffic warrants out of Bayonne was arrested on Thursday after parking illegally at the Hudson County offices in Jersey City, according to the Hudson County Sheriff's Office.
Viola Burton, whose age and hometown could not be obtained from the Bayonne Police Department Monday, was with her 2-year-old daughter at around 2:30 p.m. when she came out of the county building on Cornelison Avenue to find sheriff's officers standing near a red Mercedes-Benz she had illegally parked in an employee-only space, said Sheriff's Office spokesman Mike Makarski.
At that point, officers had already run her plate and discovered the car was unregistered and that she had a suspended driver's license, he said. Burton was issued summonses for those two offenses and parking in a restricted area, he said.
Further investigation revealed Burton also had multiple traffic warrants out of Bayonne, Makarski said. She was then transported to Bayonne, arrested and processed, he said.
Makarski said he did not know whether the car belonged to Burton or how much Burton had in outstanding fines.
The Bayonne Police Department could not be reached Monday for further information about Burton's warrants and other details about the circumstances of her arrest.

The Spartans' 2012 recruiting class ranks 35th or below, depending on the publication, while Michigan ranks in or near the top five.
"Michigan State is at a disadvantage in trying to get the top in-state guys," ESPN.com Midwest recruiting coordinator Jared Shanker said this week. "Because no matter how many times they beat Michigan in a row, Michigan's always going to be Michigan."
That wasn't quite as prevalent over the last couple seasons, as Mark Dantonio was building the Spartans with a heavy in-state focus, while Rich Rodgriguez's Wolverines faltered on the field and focused their recruiting efforts out of state.
Michigan State was within 10 spots of Michigan — the classes ranked about No. 30 and 20, respectively — over the last two years, according to Rivals.com.
But after one year under Brady Hoke, Michigan appears to have reasserted itself, even if not on the field in the rivalry.

"That's where this (Michigan State) staff has done a really good job of getting those underrated guys, maybe the three-star guys or the high two-star guys and turning them into very productive players at the Big Ten level, that are probably ultimately (surpassing) guys in their own state that they're missing out on to the schools like Michigan and Notre Dame and whatnot."
Steve Wiltfong, a national recruiting analyst for 247sports, agrees that Michigan State isn't in the midst of an even fight.
"Brady Hoke and (Ohio State's) Urban Meyer and (Notre Dame's) Brian Kelly have kind of staked a claim to top kids in the Midwest area and Michigan State, for them, they're just going to have to be smart with their evaluations, pick their battles and continue to recruit kids hard and get on them early," Wiltfong said.
And, of course, keep winning.
"If they continue those 10 and 11-win seasons, over time ... it's starting to get to the point they are getting more respect, but the name brand still isn't there completely," Shanker said. "But a couple more double-digit win seasons and they're going to have to start paying a lot more attention to Michigan State. And you can already start to see that happening."

I realize that we have done a bit of Allen Iverson overkill in the posts this week, but quite the rip job is breaking out in the comments of this post, so instead of writing a lengthy comment to respond, I figured I would just do it as a post. One less idea I have to come up with, you know?
Commenter DarkPast (I know, creepy name right?) vehemently disagrees with ... well, I guess anyone who wants to argue that Allen Iverson is a very good player.
Right Iverson is so awesome that he shoots 41% and even shot 38% one year. And it has nothing to do with the fact that Iverson can't shoot, it's everyone else fault. And all the coaches and players who have said bad things about Iverson's game: you know more than them, right? And when several sports writers say bad things him it's because they are uneducated, right?
And when Iverson leads the league in turnovers 3 times (once averaging a staggering 5 turnovers per game) it doesn't mean anything right? Couldn't it just be that Iverson isn't that great? Certainly alot of writers, teamates, fans and coaches don't think Iverson is as great as fanboys like you think, perhaps you're wrong? Becuase the wins-losses over 3 teams suggest he isn't great, the field goal percentage numbers suggest he is a pathetic shooter and his detractors suggest they see things differently than you.
OK, where to start? I guess, first we'll go with field goal percentage. Yes, it's true Iverson only shoots 42.5 percent for his career. It would be nice if that were a tad higher. But you know what Chauncey Billups' career field goal percentage is? 42.1 percent. Just for fun, look at a few other pretty good players: T-Mac (43.6 percent), Paul Pierce (44 percent), Joe Johnson (43.1 percent). Not great percentages, but not terrible either, just like Iverson. So saying he shoots too poorly at 42.5 percent does not really say much.
Turnovers? DarkKnight suggests that because he has led the league in turnovers, he sucks. These are the top four guys in turnovers this year: Stephen Jackson, Steve Nash, Dwyane Wade, Deron Williams. Nash averaged 3.4 per game during his MVP years. LeBron averages 3.3 for his career. Iverson averages 3.6 for his career.
Why do these guys all turn it over? Because they all have the ball in their hands a lot. AI has about a 2-to-1 assist to turnover ratio. If you consider him a point guard, that's not great, if you consider him a shooting guard, which most do, that's pretty good. Again, turnovers don't make someone a bad player.
Saying Iverson is bad because he shoots 42.5 percent or because he turns it over 3.6 times a game is like saying Shaq sucks because he can't shoot free throws. Are they areas of the game where you would have liked to see them improve? Sure they are. Do those tell the whole story about how good a player they are? No way.
As far as winning, in his 12 full seasons in the league, he has played on nine playoff teams. He has played on five teams that won 45 or more regular season games. He has played on one NBA Finals team. So to insinuate that the guy is not a winner is weak sauce. No, he hasn't won a championship, but a lot of really good players haven't.
And Billy King, the general manager in Philadelphia most of Iverson's career there, was generally considered one of the worst in the league. Some of his moves: drafting Larry Hughes instead of Dirk Nowitzki or Paul Pierce; trading a future first round pick for Jumaine Jones; drafting Jiri Welsh over Tayshaun Prince; signing Samuel Dalembert and Kyle Korver to ridiculously high contract extensions; trading for Keith Van Horn's ridiculous contract when it was apparent to most in the league that it was a ridiculous contract; trading for Chris Webber's contract when it was apparent to most in the league that C-Webb was finished (notice a trend here?).
Yes, great players can raise the level of play of their teammates. But no one can legitimately say that Iverson was surrounded with super talented players in Philadelphia.
These are some key stats with Iverson:
Total assists: 36th all-time
Total points: 21st all-time
Points per game: 5th all-time
Player Efficiency Rating (PER): 38th all-time
Win Shares: 47th all-time
Those, DarkWing Duck, are stats that more accurately and fairly judge a player's worth.
And as for the suggestion that other players, coaches and writers have criticized Iverson and think he's a bad player? Writers, sure they have. But, other than C-Webb, who was pissed Philly didn't want to run its offense through a 30 something power forward with one good knee and a declining post game (remember, he was a Piston immediately after that Philly stint and it was not pretty), I have not come across instances of teammates saying anything negative about Iverson. And he has certainly butted heads with coaches, including Jim O'Brien and Mo Cheeks, but Larry Brown and John Thompson, the two best coaches he has played for, do nothing but praise him.
I am open to being proved wrong on the teammates thing if you have links, but just to say "teammates have criticized him" without specifics, again, weak sauce.
The original post was criticizing two Detroit writers for essentially saying Iverson was killing the Pistons without objectively looking at some key stats, which you can find in that post. Does that mean I think Iverson has been a great addition who has fit in wonderfully? No it doesn't. But I also don't think it is fair that Iverson is being painted as the scapegoat for a terrible season when, clearly, a lot of other, more impactful things have gone wrong (notably the coach is a disaster, the team has no clear rotation more than 50 games into the season, Maxiell, Amir and Stuckey have actually regressed, they were without Dyess for a month and Rip, Tay and Sheed have clearly not bought into the system).
Again, if the argument is simply a matter of not being a fan of Iverson's game or demeanor or off-court stuff, then fine. But if you are saying he is not a good player based on a few insignificant, cherry-picked stats, that is just plain wrong, and numbers generally accepted as better measures of a player's worth show that he is, in fact, one of the best all-time.

10 biggest stars to walk down the 2013 MTV Movie Awards red carpet

Rank 5 | Avg. 6.1
2. Steve Carell
Why he's No. 2: There's no doubt that Steve Carell's film career has been spotty as of late, with his most recent effort, magician comedy "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone," crashing and burning at the box-office. Nevertheless, he remains a beloved big-screen presence, and with Bennett Miller's "Foxcatcher" and the hugely-anticipated comedy sequel "Anchorman: The Legend Continues" slated for later this year, things are looking decidedly up for the "Office" funnyman.
What he's doing here: Carell is presenting the award for Best Kiss.

Yankees need to win this one tonight. Blew a chance to gain a game on the orioles and Rays last night. Sox nipping at their heels. Sox winning tonight. Rays losing. Orioles losing too. Jays are lurking so no one can take a night off. Hopefully Andy can pitch another gem and the offence can generate some runs. Need to get ARod going. He's a disappointment so far this year.

Forfeits force South Whidbey wrestling to third place at Cruiser Tournament
Three tournaments have yielded three trophies after South Whidbey's wrestling team took third place at the Cruiser Wrestling Tournament on Dec. 21.
So far this season, the Falcons have finished as a top-three team at the Chief Sealth, Iron Sharpens Iron and now the Cruiser tournaments. South Whidbey's trophy case could have been a bit more full, however, as the team was competing without a full roster.
The Falcons competed in Eatonville High School's dual-meet tournament without their 106, 113, 220 and heavyweight wrestlers, giving up easy points to the other five schools.
"If we have any two of those guys, we win this thing," said Falcon head coach Jim Thompson, explaining that some were academically ineligible and one was injured and one was away on vacation. "Three top-three finishes in a row; I'm really happy."
South Whidbey scraped through its first three contests, beating Emerald Ridge, Foss and Eatonville by a combined 18 points — equal to three pins.
"We were 3-0 at one point, thinking we were going to walk through this thing," Thompson said.
None of the meets were decided by more than six points, including South Whidbey's losses to North Thurston, 36-30, and Sumner, 39-36.
South Whidbey had four wrestlers finish the tournament with 4-1 records. Falcon 152-pound senior Andy Madsen lost his first match of the season in the North Thurston match, but not before adding a few more pins and a technical fall to his resumé.
Hunter Newman, a 132-pound freshman, won two matches.
South Whidbey seniors Tyler Russell, 138 pounds, Kyrell Broyles, 160, and Jose Chavez, 170, each finished with 4-1 records on the day.
"The middle of my lineup again was just beating people up," Thompson said.
Donnie Sutton, 145 pounds, won three matches and lost two, as did senior 170-pounder Calvin Shimada, who had returned from an illness the week before. In Shimada's match with North Thurston, Thompson recalled the bout lasting much longer than usual because he suffered a hit that made his nose bleed. No matter how much tissue was used to stop the bleeding, it just kept running, forcing a medical timeout and prolonging the match.
Beck Davis, a senior in the 182-pound division, had a 2-1 record at Eatonville but was held out of the final match because of shoulder and knee injuries.
The Falcons pinned four opponents against Emerald Ridge, five against Foss, two against Eatonville, four against North Thurston, and three against Sumner.
A long break awaits the Falcons now before resuming on-the-mat battles. South Whidbey's tournament at Chief Sealth in West Seattle, scheduled for Dec. 28, was canceled because a couple of schools dropped out of the eight-team field, and Thompson said he did not plan on booking a meet to replace it.
South Whidbey's next meet is the King of the Mountain Tournament at Darrington High School on Jan. 4. Thompson said he would rest his wrestlers this week while encouraging them to keep up with school and work on making weight after the school break.

By Stratton Schaeffer
Every year the Schaeffer family attends two high priority, agriculture events: the Pennsylvania Farm Show in January and the San Antonio Stock Show in February. This year's Pennsylvania Farm show had, once again, the judging of some of the most beautiful dairy cattle in the world. Next month I'll fly to Texas to watch cattle judging where the emphasis is on beef cattle. In between I have time to reflect on the similarities and differences of these two world class agricultural events.
Some of the differences are hard to miss. In Texas many ranchers wear Stetson hats costing a day's pay. But here in Pennsylvania our farmers usually wear ball caps, half of which are courtesy of the local feed mill or tractor dealer. While ranchers are likely to be wearing hand stitched Nocona boots designed for stirrups, a farmer prefers 6 inch Red Wings or muck boots better suited for concrete milking parlors. Around San Antonio a good cutting horse is still worth it's weight in gold, but our smaller pastures and steeper topography make a good cow dog the partner of choice in Pennsylvania.
And at the Texas concession stands corn dogs and chicken-fried steak are the fare of the day, while our Food Court specialties include more baked potatoes and maple syrup goodies.
There's a never ending list of subtle differences that fosters good natured teasing, but what always strikes me most are the common elements and shared values that still exist between Texas ranchers and Pennsylvania farmers in a rapidly changing world.
Whether it be the remote ranches of the Panhandle or the sparsely populated counties of our Northern Tier, Ag families look forward to trailing their prize stock behind the family pickup to Harrisburg or San Antonio for the judging competition. The road miles may be longer in the Lone Star State, but but the rugged Keystone State landscape and the infamous "Farm Show weather" makes the traveling degree of difficulty a draw.
After bedding down the family show stock, the reestablishment of annual friendships begin. Lancaster County dairy families reunite with their Erie County counterparts while Panhandle and Rio border ranch families, beside their prize Shorthorns, Brahmas or Longhorns, give a hardy handshake and a Texas "Howdy" to their friendly competition. In both states it's time to catch up, reflect on last year's activities, and gawk at how much those teenaged kids have grown. At the end of the check-in day the lodging can vary from a local five star hotel to a cot in the aisle beside the livestock pens. In both states pride in competition precedes the judging with last minute wash downs and grooming. The judges themselves represent each state's lead agricultural university, Penn State and Texas A&M.
After the judging, proudly displayed blue ribbons appear above bedded champions as the general public meanders through the exhibit areas. That night, as the men gather and relax, the beverage of chose may vary from Yuengling and Iron City to Shiner Bock and Lone Star but I'd consider that a similarity more than a difference. As one old ranch hand told me years ago: " Lefty, beer is sort of like those dance hall gals, there ain't no bad ones, just some better than others."
A day or two may pass after the judging before it's time to load up, say our goodbyes for another year, and start the long journey home. Of one thing there is no doubt or dispute: Ag families from the Northern Tier of Pennsylvania to the Rio Grande of Texas, and everywhere in between, share a set of common values. Pride in honest work, giving your word as the coin of the realm, but above all: Love of family.
Can't beat that!

From Seattle taking the "slow" way, I'd probably take US Highway 12 all the way across. It parallels Interstate 94 all the way across to Indiana, but is mostly just a 2-lane highway that goes through all the small towns the interstate goes around.
There are a lot of national parks and forests to visit on the way- Mount Rainier, Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, the Badlands, Mount Rushmore- as well as some nice cities, such as Minneapolis and Chicago.
The entire US military is cutting back right now, but if she's interested in becoming a pilot, she may have options with another branch, such as the Navy or Army, though the Army would train her on helicopters first. Not to say it would be possible or easy, but it might be worth talking to a recruiter from one of the other branches.
Other than something homemade, some kind of local specialty product is always a good gift- when I went to Taiwan, my wife and I brought honey and jams from Wisconsin, where we lived at the time, and it went over pretty well.

Absolute beast of a car. Definately one of my fave Mk3's Much nicer than that manky green one on 20's
LOL at the recipe lmao
Don't think the V6 burbles much does it ? ? ?
porous head
the bmw 330 is a very quick car, but it is not a v6 its a straight six which is totally different
however i think that a standard cav turbo might struggle
For issues using MIGWeb please use our helpdesk - do not PM me. Thanks
while lookin in the engine bay of mine, there is...er... very little room for turbos in there, however, if an astra has em then maybe the way it's mounted will give enough room for at least one to be fitted. the v6 is a big lump and needs a huge engine bay to acomodate, but a 2.5 v6 in a corsa has been done W.T.F
if you wana be different ( or at least join the select few ) the the v6 should be the way to go, but i always think what i could have done with a 2.0 16v omega, running a turbo lump same grunt as the v6, lighter and more tuneable. i think it'll be down to cost in the end and ease of fitting, if you take all this into accout then its got to be the tried and tested 2.0 turbo mate. and the cost of running the 3.0 is a shocker, mine is doin well at the moment, doin a 20 odd mile trip to work sticking to 60 mph, i'm averagin 23.4 mpg, you do the maths on this, it aint cheap to run. bootin it around will see mid teens, 18.2 has been my worst.
whatever you decide....i'm sure there will be loads of info from the m.i.g lot if you go ahead.
I have oftern thought of an omega turbo 2.0 but that would mean I would have to start with a 2.0 which is lacking toys.
Also I would miss 4x4
Courtney fitted a low pressure turbo to the irish police V6.
lmao You have to hide your jealousy better Dave lmao lmao lmaoOriginally posted by DaveB
that bit though, unless your a spawny git like cemesis usually costs you about 4-5k though.
It did cost over £4k, I told you that
work out where they'd put this turbo andy, unless they changed over much of the induction system to make room in between the engine and rad.....other than that but i bet i went well
ok. so if well maintened low mileage turbo engines arent available.
What is the cost of a full rebuild of a high mileage/foobarred turbo engine?
re builds aint worth the money, get a 2nd hand one expect to pay from 700 up, re cons go for around 1600 + v.a.t
i got mine for 820 inc, 38k from a 98 omega.
I think the turbo was mounted on the drivers side or was it at the front. Humm, can't remember
so andy, what are the rebuild costs for a C20LET then?
Dave about 1000 quid for an LET rebuild! (JUST PARTS)!
Sir, please step away from the car
ummm, and if the turbo needs sorting thats another £500 on top of that? + labour?
AET turbos (approved KKK dealer) re-con a standard turbo for £320-00+vat that includes labour!
Sir, please step away from the car
No there not! Get a 2.016v CDX and you get everything bar leather and full electric seats.Originally posted by Andy K
I have oftern thought of an omega turbo 2.0 but that would mean I would have to start with a 2.0 which is lacking toys.
"bar leather and full electric seats." Well there you go then !
Can't be doing without electric memory seats and leather.
I'm also pi$$ed off that MV6s are lower spec than elites.
And not just one or two items I may add.
You'll find alot of MV6's have extras.
Still I can't believe:
Climate Control
Cruise Control
Remote controlled central locking
Switchable Traction Control
Power Steering
Electric windows all round
Electric Heated Windows
Electric Sunroof
Electrically height adjustable seats
Heated front seats
Trip Computer
Check Control
Multi-CD player
Traffic Master
...isn't enough for you!!!

I'm trying to remember what it was lacking.
I think.
and maybe even climate control.
The vectra CDX & GSi have the same prob.
Anyway, ain't likely to buy another vauxhall now.

Search continues in Budd Lake
Wednesday, January 09, 2013 12:19 PM

The junior exorcist is a bit of a doubting Thomas to begin with, so the supposedly unearthly manifestations of his first subject — wildly rolling eyes and a few perilous backbends — leave him unmoved.
"What did you expect?" snaps his elderly mentor. "Spinning heads? Pea soup?"
Well, yes, actually. That would be lovely.
It would, at least, be a lot more hellish than the fairly tame terrors on view in "The Rite," which tries to scare us by bringing on a few frogs and a large and ill-tempered mule.
Signs of Satan? Heck, in some tiny French towns that would be the blue-plate special.
What "The Rite" really needs are some blood-and-thunder scares, something to jolt audiences. Instead it gives us people clawing at the armchairs they're strapped to and, occasionally, looking slightly mottled.
Oooh. Scary.
There are two ways a horror film can go with its scares. It can be gruesome and graphic (like the original "The Exorcist"). It can refuse to show you anything, and make you imagine much worse (like the smart "Paranormal Activity").
The Rite (PG-13) Warner Bros. (114 min.) Directed by Mikael Hafstrom. With Colin O'Donoghue, Anthony Hopkins, Ciaran Hinds. Now playing in New Jersey.
Rating note: The film contains violence and adult subject matter.
Stephen Whitty's Review: TWO STARS
What rarely works is taking the safe middle road — spelling things out, but not showing anything too frightening. And that's the dull compromise that "The Rite" takes right from the beginning.
That's too bad, because director Mikael Hafstrom — while never a clear storyteller — always has had a good visual sense and a taste for the offbeat. His "Derailed" was a nice modern, extramarital noir, and "1408" was a truly surreal fright flick.
"The Rite," though, is a standard religious-horror pic, the Father vs. the fiends, with yet another man's grave crisis of faith ironically cured by the Devil himself. (You'd think he'd learn by now these earthly appearances do his cause more harm than good.)
Colin O'Donoghue, a young Irish actor making his film debut, isn't particularly memorable as the conflicted seminarian, but there are some good supporting actors here, with Rutger Hauer, Ciaran Hinds and Toby Jones all skulking about.
Best of all is Anthony Hopkins as the elder exorcist. While there's no pea soup in evidence, he still finds plenty of ham and has the most fun he's had on-screen in years, melding his unblinking Hannibal stare to line readings so offbeat he seems to be taking tips from Nicolas Cage.
It's a fun, jump-out-and-say-boo performance, full of tricks and treats. And for that, this veteran performer gets a special dispensation.
But the rest of "The Rite"? All wrong.

Three Washington Township Board of Education Members will return to their seats in January, after incumbents Carol Chila, Jim Murphy and Megan Watson won re-election on Tuesday.
According to unofficial results from the Gloucester County Board of Elections, Chila (5,606), Murphy (5,839) and Watson (5,767) snagged the three seats up for a vote, with newcomers Roy Dawson III (4,277), Jack Scheidell (3,046) and William Levy (3,548) losing their bids to get on the board.
Watson said she's "absolutely thrilled" with the results, especially since she feels the current structuring of the board has led to significant progress on key issues so far.
"We're working together so well, I'm so excited we'll get to keep working together and moving forward," Watson said Tuesday night, citing student achievement issues and redistricting as topics the board will have to work on soon.
Watson has been on the board since October of 2012, when she was appointed to fill the unexpired term of Andrew Walter after he resigned that August. A regular attendee of meetings before her appointment, Watson has two young children who attend township schools and is a partner in a small family law firm. In the past year she's served on the Board, Watson has worked on the negotiations committee and its settlement with the teachers union.
Chila, the newest member of the board, was also appointed, having been chosen to finish Steve Altamuro's unfinished term after he resigned in April.
She said she's ready to now get down to work for the next three years.
"I'm excited to know that I have three years to really look at some short-term and long-term goals and know I'll be a part of them," Chila said Tuesday night.
With strong support from her family and friends, she said running for election for the first time became a kind of bonding experience.
"It's so exciting, especially because my campaign managers were my children," Chila said. "It was a real family effort, I had really great neighbors and friends who helped me."
Chila, who has two young children in the school district, works for Johnson & Johsnon in medical device and supplies sales, especially for breast cancer reconstruction.
A cancer survivor as well, Chila is actively involved with local charity Friends Are By Your Side, which raises money, fulfills wishes and provides wigs to cancer victims. She also volunteers with Survivors Teaching Students, an organization that connects cancer survivors with medical students to learn more about the patient experience.
Since she was appointed to the board, Chila has specifically been outspoken during its recent move to change its public policy format and a current push to do away with the activity fee.
Murphy, who has served on the board for the past 10 years, has been a proponent of increasing alternative revenue, specifically with school bus ads.
Despite recent campaign ads attacking Murphy, he won the most votes out of all six candidates for the board.
"I'm very appreciative for all the people who voted for me and have confidence in me," Murphy said Tuesday night.

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- Mikey White had a number in mind.
He is, after all, no stranger to the SportsCenter top 10. The Alabama shortstop made No. 4 last year with this diving double play against Auburn.
He'll have to settle with No. 8 after Friday's feat. White started the 6-4-5 triple play in Alabama's 3-0 win over No. 20 Kentucky. It was Alabama's first in 15 years.
"Hopefully it will be better than (four) because Kyle (Overstreet) and meet got one that was (four) last year," White said before SportsCenter aired. "Yeah, it would be pretty cool to get another one."
It was White's first triple play, but the SportsCenter crew didn't deem it better than his best double play.

President Chen Shui-bian is seeking Taiwan's membership in the United Nations, and our government is opposing it for fear of irritating China. In 1971, the People's Republic of China replaced Chiang Kai-shek's Republic of China at the U.N. Later, the Taiwan Relations Act passed by Congress supported withdrawal of diplomatic recognition from Chiang's Republic of China but provided no basis for opposing Taiwan's entry into world organizations.
Taiwan has been separate from China for 58 years and enjoys democracy, having evolved from one-party rule after the death of Chiang's son. This vibrant, high-tech island nation has 23 million people and is America's eighth-largest trading partner. Its government proposes a referendum on an attempt to rejoin the U.N. President Bush has just accepted Chinese President Hu Jintao's invitation to attend the 2008 Olympics. Bush once said, "When you stand for your liberty, we will stand with you." He ought to ponder this statement as he stands on the podium in Beijing. Taiwan should be part of the world community not only because it reflects reality but because it is right.
Taiwan deserves U.N. membership

The New York Knicks, who will face the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night at the Carrier Dome, are playing the Boston Celtics tonight in Albany.
Carmelo Anthony, perhaps preparing for his Carrier Dome homecoming, is sitting out tonight's game in Albany. Anthony, the former Syracuse star who led the Orange to the 2003 NCAA championship, is one of several veterans that New York coach Mike Woodson said would rest tonight rather than play in back-to-back games in the NBA's preseason.
Anthony and the Knicks played the Toronto Raptors on Friday night in Montreal. Anthony scored 24 points in 33 minutes. That was the most playing time Anthony's seen in the Knicks' three preseason games.
After Monday's game against the 76ers in Syracuse, the Knicks will have just one remaining preseason game. The Knicks play the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday.

If "Tiny Furniture" takes its inspiration from real life, Dunham adds a layer of fiction,
casting herself, her mother and her sister not as themselves but as characters. Aura (Dunham) has just graduated from college when she returns to the loft she once shared with her mother, Siri (Simmons), and the teenage Nadine (Grace Dunham). Greeted by a nonchalant "Oh, hi" and little else, Aura must confront the fact that her presence is no longer cherished in a household where Siri's career and Nadine's precociousness take center stage. When those two decamp for a college tour, Aura seizes on the chance to act out progressively more petulant boundary violations.
So she lets a freeloading hipster (Alex Karpovsky) sleep in her mom's bed and drink all the red wine in her pristine white cabinets (the source of one of the film's funniest leitmotifs). She flirts with a ne'er-do-well chef (David Call) at the restaurant where she works. And she lets her rediscovered childhood friend Charlotte (the fabulous Jemima Kirke) lure her into all the delicious snares downtown Manhattan has to offer.
Shot with just a consumer-grade Canon digital camera, "Tiny Furniture" has the intimate look and feel of such recent "mumblecore" movies as "Funny Ha-Ha" and "Humpday." But Dunham claims a space all her own within the indie firmament, evincing a wryly observant sense of humor (Aura's comic YouTube video about a dyslexic stripper has gotten 400 hits!) but also a darker, more serious substratum. When Aura reaches the nadir of her attention-getting stunts, the episode isn't funny ha-ha but empty and kind of sad.
In its depiction of anxious young adulthood set amidst powerful parental egos, "Tiny Furniture" could be the little sister of the extraordinary 2008 film "Momma's Man." Like that film, Dunham's dramatic comedy (comic drama?) renders the artist's life with candor, wit and 360-degree clarity. More, please.
Unrated. Contains sexual situations, profanity and some drug use. 98 minutes.

Game 2 lineup notes
Projected Lines – Los Angeles
Dustin Brown – Anze Kopitar – Justin Williams
Dwight King – Mike Richards – Jeff Carter
Dustin Penner – Brad Richardson – Trevor Lewis
Jordan Nolan – Colin Fraser – Tyler Toffoli
Robyn Regehr – Drew Doughty
Rob Scuderi – Slava Voynov
Jake Muzzin – Alec Martinez
Jonathan Quick
Jonathan Bernier
-Kyle Clifford and Jarret Stoll will not play due to injury. Anthony Stewart and Tanner Pearson have been participating in morning skates and would be the next options should the Kings lose another forward in the time it takes Clifford and Stoll to recover. Rob Scuderi joined Slava Voynov on the Kings' second defensive pairing as the game progressed; it is still possible that Jake Muzzin could skate with Voynov and Alec Martinez with Scuderi. "He can play both sides," Darryl Sutter said of Martinez. "We really don't have pairs. It's more of our situation reads."
Projected Lines – San Jose
TJ Galiardi – Joe Thornton – Brent Burns
Patrick Marleau – Logan Couture – Joe Pavelski
Jame Sheppard – Scott Gomez – Tommy Wingels
Andrew Desjardins – Tim Kennedy – Bracken Kearns
Matt Irwin – Dan Boyle
Marc-Edouard Vlasic – Justin Braun
Scott Hannan – Brad Stuart
Antti Niemi
Thomas Greiss
-In Raffi Torres' absence, Joe Pavelski is likely to slot in as the right wing opposite Patrick Marleau on Logan Couture's line. Tim Kennedy, whose only playoff appearance this season was in Game 2 of the Vancouver series, is expected to join Andrew Desjardins and Bracken Kearns on the fourth line. He had two goals and no assists in 13 regular season games. Forward Martin Havlat and defenseman Jason Demers remain doubtful. Forward Adam Burish is out for the series with an upper-body injury.

If there's kangaroos in them there hills, I can't see them.
What I can see, from the terrace of Lane Vineyard's bistro, is a landscape rolling towards the horizon, thick with mist and neatly dressed with bales of hay. It's not just the gentle farmland or threatening drops of rain that force me to blink and remind myself that this isn't Devon. In the hour's drive from Adelaide to get here, I passed a 19th-century water mill, market gardens, fruit orchards and a number of woolly-tailed sheep. But looking closely at the corduroy-green fields, patch-worked between the golden grain, I can see rows of vines running vein-like across the valley, some of which are among Australia's oldest.
Wine is a great way to trace the heritage of migration to Australia. The nearby Barossa Valley, the country's premier cool-climate wine region, was the first place that Silesian immigrants settled in during the early 1800s after making the tortuous journey from Prussia, farming families who are today the cornerstone of Australian wine-making. With the arrival of British governors to South Australia in the 1830s, settlements spread out across the region. Today, old-name Barossa winemakers such as Bethany and Penfolds still dominate the market, but there is an awful lot more to choose from. The Adelaide Hills, one of four wine regions around the city, is lately making a big noise for the new varieties it's producing.
There are more than 90 wine labels and 30 cellar doors (tasting rooms) in Adelaide Hills. I start with a stomach-lining lunch at Lane Vineyard's bistro, which specialises in pairing local produce with its home-grown wines. Lois, its new sparkling blanc de blanc proves prosecco-like and ever-easier to drink as the sun burns off the cloud and heats the decked terrace. I eat Port Lincoln seafood (South Australia's oyster peninsula), vegetables from the nearby market at Hahndorf (Australia's oldest surviving German/Prussian settlement), and tender cuts of prized Coroong Angus beef, raised on rich farmland fed by the vast Murray and Darling rivers.
Against my anti-oak principals, a persuasive waiter has me try Lane's 2010 chardonnay and I'm more than happy with its crisp finish. At neighbouring wineries, including Shaw & Smith, and Nepenthe, you get a real sense of the way local vintners are leaving the stereotypically heavily-oaked chardonnays and palate-pounding Pinot Noir behind. New "region specific" varieties such as viognier and tempranillo are Adelaide Hills' rising stars, growing in a varied terrain that's often called "Europe in miniature".
This region's undulating altitudes and climates range from Burgundy and the Loire through Bordeaux to the Rhône. And if, personally, I wasn't convinced by, say, some of Nepenthe's experimental vintages, many wine experts are. Like several vineyards in this region, it's picked up prestigious Decanter Awards.
But this compact region doesn't produce in bulk. Lane, for example, sells its harvest on to Hardys, keeping select vintages for the house label. "It's still pretty hard to find a wide variety of local wines on Adelaide's restaurant tables. Most sell, through mailing lists, cellar doors or are exported," says Mark Gleeson, my guide on a tour around Adelaide's Central Markets, the following day.
This seems to be a bit of a theme. Much of the best Australian produce is exported and the trend for buying local is still far from mass market. "South Australian food tastes are changing," says the woman behind the market's Smelly Cheese stall. "It's still difficult to sell European styles, though." But they do very well with creamy goat's cheeses made by pioneering Adelaide Hills' producers such as Woodside Cheese Wrights.
This pretty, 19th-century covered market is one of the southern hemisphere's largest, with more than 100 stalls selling everything from artisan bread, to plump local cherries, seasonal Suffolk lamb to bullet-strong espresso from landmark café, Lucia's. It's now 10am, I've barely digested breakfast but I can't resist trying a slice of smoked crocodile from Wild Oz meats, followed by some Smokey Bay Oysters from Samtass Seafood: silky, dense and astoundingly fresh.
Produce from the Adelaide environs ranks among Australia's best but it has not traditionally been matched by the calibre of its chefs. This is changing. Among other things, the state has started to produce a disproportionate number of MasterChef Australia finalists, including Andre Usini who has now opened his own restaurant, Cucina & Polenta, in central Adelaide.
"People are much more interested in where their food comes from," says Mark, as we conclude the market tour with the scent of O'Connell Meats' onsite smokehouse lingering seductively in the air. Mark has just launched a trip geared to serious foodies: a seven-day "Flying Food Safari" offering private jet access to South Australia's top culinary spots.
But I don't have to go that far to sample a jet-set atmosphere. At Kenji's, a downtown Japanese restaurant, I find the stars of surf and turf – local rock lobster, blue-fin tuna and abalone – transformed into superlative sushi, plus several of cricket's biggest celebrities.
Stuart Broad, Paul Collingwood and Michael Vaughan are sitting at a table next to me, filling up on premium protein after a stellar Ashes performance. But with two tests still to go, the boys hold off on the wine. Pity is not something the English team has contended with recently but sitting with a glass of crispy local Riesling in front of me, I almost feel sorry for them.
