University of Michigan Football Player Comments
Previewing Central Michigan (Sept. 9); Reviewing Vanderbilt (Sept. 2)
Sophomore Tailback Kevin Grady
On the ups and downs of the first game ... "Coming back to the Big House for the first time since last year, obviously emotions are going to be high for the first game of the season. I kind of tried to do everything at a steady level so I could play the game to the best of my ability."
On what he does differently than the other running backs on the team ... "Obviously, we have a lot of different backs. Everybody has their own style, so I really just try to keep the chains moving as far as us running the ball C just first-down after first-down. I try to get in there and do whatever I can to help us win."
On the new blocking scheme ... "I love the new scheme. Everybody knows it's a zone scheme; it's a little different than what we ran last year. I love what coach DeBord is trying to do with the new running attack. I think that's going to be really big for us here in the future."
On freshman Brandon Minor ... "Brandon, he's an explosive back. He's a standout guy. If you were able to come to practice, you would see some of the things that he did. Like I said earlier, every back has his own style. He's really an explosive guy; he brings a little bit more speed to the table than some of us."
On if the team's goal is to run the ball more this year ... "Running the ball is an attitude. I think, as an offense, we have to develop an attitude to commit ourselves to go out and run the football. That's where it all starts, being able to run the football and control the clock."
On if he feels different after losing some weight ... "Yes, I feel a lot different. Eleven pounds makes a big difference stamina-wise, being able to laterally move and just me feeling better out there on the field. It has definitely made a big difference."
On what he likes about the new blocking scheme ... "If you have great vision, this is a great offense for you. It's not really a set offense where you have to be able to be in a certain gap the whole time. We have landmarks and courses that you have to stay on, but for the most part, it's just you being out there and being able to see different blocks and seeing how things are set up."
Junior Safety Jamar Adams
On what the team can improve on ... "We had some guys miss their assignment, which happens a lot of times in the first game. [We should] sure up those assignments, that's probably the main thing. We had guys playing hard and we had guys out there really trying to have a winning effort."
On playing with five defensive backs on the field ... "It depends on the offense and the team we are playing. That team was with three or four receivers, we had to match up with their speed and athleticism. Some teams might be two receivers and two tight ends or two receivers, a fullback and a tight end. We just try to match their personality."
On his improvements from last year to this year ... "I think a lot of my growing pains were mental, some physical too, but a lot were mental. I felt like I was out there and my goal was to play good, but also help my teammates to play good. I tried to communicate a lot out there and make sure the defense was in the right call and guys were in the right positions covering the right guys and making all the right checks. I think that was one of the biggest advancements that I made because I was able to help the defense out a little bit more with the mental part of my game."
On what needs to happen to improve from this week to next week ... "I think that we have to come out and practice hard on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and continue to watch film and become a defense that knows what the offense is going to do when they line up. We just have to get a little bit smarter in terms of knowing what the offense is going to do and continue to play hard and it will all come together for us."
On Central Michigan ... "I haven't watched film on them yet. I watched a little bit of their game against Boston College. I know they are a team that is going to come in and play hard, that's one thing I do know about them. I know they are going to be an offense that is going to try and score points, like everyone does. We have to go out there with the same mentality and try to stop whatever they try to do and come out with a victory."
On if he noticed the difference in the timing with the new rules ... "I kind of noticed a difference. My fatigue level wasn't up there per se. I wasn't really thinking about it because we worked so hard on conditioning, so I just felt like that's how I was supposed to feel, I wasn't supposed to be tired. So to me, the game speed wasn't a big factor."
On if it's tempting to overlook Central Michigan since Notre Dame is the next week ... "It's not tempting at all. Every performance in this stadium is a great time to be in the stadium and put the uniform on. It's few and far between. We only get seven opportunities and the rest of the time we are somewhere training, running and lifting weights. Every time we get an opportunity to step in that stadium it's a great thing."
Fifth-Year Senior Linebacker David Harris
On what playing 'fast' means ..."It means getting to the ball. This off-season we stressed getting in shape and losing a lot of weight. Lose those extra pounds to keep us strong throughout the game and last Saturday it showed. A lot of players got their hat to the ball, got off blocks, and gave 100-perecent effort on every play."
On the progression of linebacker Shawn Crable ... "He's a physical player. He's tall, he's mean, and he's fast. He had a great off-season and stepped up a lot. He gives our defense a lot of different looks. He can play (defensive) end and he can also play linebacker, so it gives us some more opportunities."
On when he noticed the biggest change in Crable ... "Probably December 29th, after the Alamo Bowl. I'm guessing it left a bad taste in his mouth and he knew his contribution was needed and he just stepped up his game."
On Central Michigan ... "I watched a little bit of their game last Thursday against Boston College. They're going to play hard. Their coach, Coach Kelly, is from Grand Valley which is around Grand Rapids. I know he's going to get the most out of his players. They run the spread offense, so we have to be prepared for that. Watch their defense, they are going to swarm to the ball and get all 11 people to the ball, so they are going to play us tough."
On the play of the defensive line ... "The front four played terrific last Saturday. When they are playing like that and putting a lot of pressure on the ball and the quarterback, it makes them (opposing offense) a little bit nervous and makes them a little more anxious to get out of the pocket and scramble and make mistakes. It makes the back seven's job a lot easier, because the wide receivers don't have enough time to get open. It just makes things easier."
On Rondell Biggs ... "He's a hard worker. You have to give it up. He's a senior and knows he has to step up. He continues to get better and had a good off-season."
On containing a mobile quarterback ..."Like I said before, all eleven players have to get off their blocks and find a way to get to the ball. Keep it inside, keep leverage, and don't lose contain. We just have to keep working on it."
Senior Offensive Lineman Adam Kraus
On the new blocking scheme ... "I was excited when they told us that we were going to change to a zone-scheme. I'm a lighter guy and I'm not as big as some of the past offensive lineman and this scheme really fits me. I think it fits our offensive line. It's an offense where you need to be quick and get off the ball and get to your landmark, so I think it fits us really well."
On the changes to the offense ..."I think everyone knew that something needed to be changed and coach DeBord wanted to find the offense that fit us the best. I think we did a good job. I think he found one."
On the performance of the passing game ... "I think we had some mistakes in the past game. We had some simple things that can be corrected. We're going to come out here and work hard this week and improve. I don't think it's anything to worry about. But I think that we're going to come out and just get better everyday."
On what he means by landmarks ... "There are certain places on the jersey of the defender where you want to get your hat. You want to get it there so you can stretch the defense and make the creases for the backs. So there are certain places on the jersey of the defender."
On teams that the offense studied during the offseason ... "We studied the Denver Broncos. We studied the Atlanta Falcons. They both run zone offense. Watching them do it is something else, because those guys can really move. We definitely got to see a picture of it at its best."
On what he does when a defender is not over him ... "We have rules that tell us what to do. We study defense, so we know what we're seeing. So, if a guy comes out a certain way we know what we're doing and we make the calls necessary to get the scheme blocked."
On if a different running back changes blocking scheme ..."Not at all. We get to our landmarks and they make the cuts, so I don't care if Jake Long is back there playing tailback, we're going to block it the same way."
On the temptation of overlooking Central Michigan ... "If you saw the Boston College game, then you know that Central is a dangerous team. Their defense is full of a bunch of tough, strong guys. They swarm around the ball and they have a motor. We need to put all of our energy into Central and I think we're going to do that. It's going to be easy not to over look them, because they are a good team."
Fifth-Year Senior Defensive End Rondell Biggs
On making the most of what you have ... "I am just as athletic (as other defensive ends) and one of the bigger and stronger defensive ends on the team. Not to hype myself, but because I wasn't a five-star (recruit) like some of the other players. Some players get overlooked like Braylon Edwards who came in as a three-star. People get overlooked."
On having something to prove coming to Michigan ... "I knew that I was talented. I knew I could play. I started off at a late age playing football. I didn't have my name out there. I didn't come to the camps so I didn't get as much exposure."
On when he started playing football ... "I started my ninth-grade year in high school and I actually quit my 10th grade year because we went 0-9 so I felt football just wasn't for me. Then I started back again my 11th-grade year. That year was the first time in my high school's history that we went to the state playoffs."
On why he quit after one year ... "I never really liked it. My dad never played. My family tradition was basketball. I kind of went on my own and started to put on some weight. I thought I'd try something new."
On what he learned from quitting and coming back ... "I can't say I learned anything from it. I was just out there playing. The coaches didn't act well. I wasn't having fun. We lost every game. I just felt football wasn't my thing. It was a blessing when my high school coach came. He actually coached Larry Foote and Maurice Williams. He got me to go out there and play again."
On what he likes about football now ... "I love it. It pays for school. My mom comes to every game. She loves watching the games. I can go over to her house and she is up there watching football. She watches more than me and this is a lady who didn't know anything about it before."
On his mom critiquing him ... "She thinks she's a coach. I don't know, she might have gone in and tried to convince Coach Carr to let her come in as a coach. She actually thinks she is a coach. She is really critical."
On if she critiques his play ... "I talk to her every day. She comes to all the games that she can make. She catches things. She will say I should have made that tackle or made that sack."
On if she enjoyed his sacks ... "She had a great time. It was nice to see a smile on her face. She's lived through a lot. It was nice to have a good game. She told me to go out there and do well so I followed mom's words."
On the intensity brought by defensive coordinator Ron English ... "Coach English is pretty intense. On defense, you have to respond to him. You can't get sensitive in football. You have to respond to it. They do it for a reason. It's not done to be bad. It's done to motivate you. You have to look at it as a positive."
On missing time with injury last season ... "It was hard, but I learned from it. Nothing is promised to you. For me to get injured, it made me work hard. It made me take advantage of every play and to go out and work hard."
On hyping himself up for a game ... "I just go out there and play. I know I can play or I wouldn't be here. Everybody on the team has some type of ability. Some people don't get molded right or some people have different problems. I just worked hard. I have had some great coaches and I have learned a lot."
On being talked about with the other names on defense ... "It has been weird and fun. I am not used to getting any attention like LaMarr (Woodley) has and Alan Branch too. It is also good, too. I know my mom enjoys it. I wasn't used to it. I remember I came in to the interview room on Saturday and I was surprised. I didn't even know that my stats were that good. It was shocking after being injured last year and not having my name out there much."
On competition with junior defensive end Tim Jamison ... "Competition pushes people and always brings out the best in people. Tim Jamison is great and he is going to be really good. Once he gets back, we will see what happens. We will probably get a three- or four-man rotation going to keep fresh people in there."
On if he feels he has a knack now for making plays ... "I think a lot last year I wasn't playing as freely as I was in this first game. I am thinking a lot less and getting a feeling for the game a little bit more. You have to have some sort of knack to be able to go out there and play on defense."

Lead concerns
Posted by Reviewer2173326 on Mar 23, 2010 | Verified Purchase
Our kids loved the flavor and we liked it because it had no artificial colors and preservatives. However, an FDA study flagged this product as having lead (#6 on list). We discontinued usage. Try googling "Nature's Plus lead" and make your call.
Not recommended

I liked them until I got to know they contain one of the highest amount of LEAD of all the children MultiVitamins. As for IHerb I give 5 stars

I am not sure about these- the first ingridient is fructose, and from what ive read sugar suppresses the immune system for 4 hours, kind of defeating the point of this product. Also, many of the vitamins are not in good forms, such as vitamin d- should be vitamin d3- the most absorbable. Not great,but ok for children who dont take tablets.
Not for me

The taste of this multivitamin is very good as compared to others. But it is not for me and my son. My body does not seem to like it.
Great product

My children love this vitamin. I give it to them along with a liquid probiotic and their immune system seems to have improved. They are sick less often and at shorter durations.

My kids love these vitamins! They can't get enough of it! They want more! I feel way better about the natural ingredients in this product than the previous batch I gave them, which they didn't really like also. Definite a must have for kids ... great taste.

Former Tennessee wide receiver Gerald Jones has agreed to a contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. A team-high 55 receptions in 2010 made Jones just the fifth receiver to lead the Vols in catches in three consecutive seasons. He was the first to do so since Joey Kent in 1994-96.
Jones finished fifth on UT's career receptions list with 142 and 11th in receiving TDs with 13. Compiling 1,710 career receiving yards, he was just 37 short of reaching the top 10 in that category.

Peter Smith and his firm, Dhillon Smith, are corporate counsel for the company I serve as CEO.Peter represented the company in numerous actions, including our counter-suits, involving a former employee. The nature of the actions involved fraud, concealment and failure to disclose material facts to prospective investors, breach of fiduciary duties, self-dealing, etc. The former employee's attorney took on his case on contingency fees, and attempted to shakedown and bully the company and its executives at depositions and in court.
Peter's handling of the actions could not have been more effective and successful. He was calm, competent, low-key and very effective where it matters. While the other attorney was into theatrics and intimidation/bullying. Peter's style was focused, nuanced, and demonstrative of sound legal judgment and high quality professionalism. Peter created a simple, effective legal framework for the company to present his case for the company, presented it to the judge in a trial lasting several days. The result speaks for itself: the judge overwhelmingly ruled in favor of Peter and the company.
To make it more satisfying, the judge on separate occasions admonished the other attorney for conduct. In contrast, the judge was very satisfied with Peters conduct and professionalism.
At all times in this multi-year, multi-action process Peter kept the Board and CEO fully informed of what he is doing. He discussed his legal strategy, asked for feedback, incorporated those elements that we offered he found of value, explained why some of my other points didn't matter, etc. In other words, his working style enabled the company and its executives to feel part of a team in working with the outside counsel in a very important matter.
Peter, considering the company's interests, had also filed court papers to insure the other party would be held liable for the attorney's fees in the frivolous actions they imposed on the company. The company is waiting for the judge to complete their ruling and expects to recover its costs (plus damages).
I've worked with some of the best attorneys in corporate law/litigation in the bay area. I'd rate Peter Smith and Harmeet Dhillon among the top. Their firm is small, the service is personalized, your case would be handled by the name partners, their cost structure is far lower than a big law firm so you get excellent value for your money.
If you are a CEO/head of a small or medium business I'd suggest you consider Peter Smith as corporate counsel. If you are an executive or founder of a company and need a sound, competent, low-key attorney to protect your interests, I'd suggest you consider Peter Smith. Lastly, if you are faced with someone attempting to intimidate/bully you with legal threats you'd do well to consider Peter Smith to represent you.

Peter (as he prefers to be called) is a great trail attorney. He is a partner of his small but extremely effective firm Dhillon and Smith LLP. He along with his partner Harmeet Dhillon have, I think, put together a great team to help people like me to navigate complicated legal trials and processes emerging from some knotty business partnership disputes.
Peter has a great temperament to deal with the highs and lows of the emotions that I went through with my business issues and calmly helped me to make decisions by explaining the legal and trail nuances leading to successful solutions each step of the way.
In conversations with Peter I felt the dept of his experience and that was very reassuring to me. I am not an attorney or an expert in the Law by far and this is just from my experience as a layman client.
His firm, Dhillon & Smith LLP, have rates that are slightly on the higher side but they are very efficient with their hours. They are client friendly and work through any issues that may come up.
Thanks Peter and Harmeet ... and team.
I highly recommend them.

We hired Harold Smith to represent the company as general counsel. As founder, CEO,and largest shareholder I had a ring-side seat in observing Harold's performance as counsel for about four-five years. Harold is expensive and ok value in select areas: real estate transactions and contracts and litigation, dealing with the city and state departments involving commercial and residential real estate. He was not as effective in other areas, specifically litigation involving business or commercial entities, employee-employer risk management, negotiating and settling with attorneys representing irate customers or business partners or employees, smoothing through upset shareholders, etc. Harold's inexperience, and his refusal to acknowledge it, complicated matters very much and proved in time to be expensive for my company. The company concluded we needed someone that was more experienced in those areas Harold was not strong, we needed less of real-estate focused legal help where he is ok. So we switched to another firm. Harold's handling of our decision to switch legal representation made things very difficult and he could have been more professional.

Mr. Smith has represented my office for over 20 years. We would not consider using another lawyer.
The results have always been in our favor. Mr. Smith's responses to our emails and telephone calls have been constantly quick, his billings are fair and reasonable, and his observations of a given situation are always on the mark. We have the greatest confidence in Mr. Smith's professional demeanor as well his consistent ability to negotiate difficult situations. Mr. Smith is passionate about his work and beyond reproach.

This piece originally ran in the (now defunct) Providence Phoenix
As he takes the podium before an audience of about 50 students, environmentalists, and reporters, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse points out superstar oceanographer and archeologist Bob Ballard, arguably Rhode Island's most famous scientist, sitting near the back of the small auditorium. His presence lends an air of celebrity gravitas.
It's Monday morning, and we're here at the URI Coastal Institute in Narragansett for the world premiere of riclimatechange.org, a website designed, according to the press release, to speak to people with "varying degrees of scientific knowledge, a wide range of political and cultural opinions, and personal and professional concerns about climate change." The website is the creation of the RI Climate Change Collaborative, a collection of URI-based environmental groups with some of the school's leading environmental and scientific thinkers on its team, including Oceanography Professor Isaac Ginis, whose computer models to forecast the path and intensity of hurricanes were used by first responders and emergency management teams during Hurricane Sandy.
Whitehouse has been beating the drum on climate change in his weekly "Time to Wake Up" speeches on the Senate floor in Washington (he recently delivered speech number 58), calling to task the moneyed interests that back climate change skeptics and deniers. "If we allow our democracy to be taken over by polluting interests," he says, standing before a graphic of the new website, "people are going to look back and think, 'What happened to democracy in that period, that they couldn't prepare for this?'"
If there are climate change skeptics in the audience today, they are not letting on. "Behind all of the technical aspects of climate change is a very basic battle, an information battle," continues the Senator. "It's a battle between the scientists, who know what they're talking about, and very cynical propagandists who [seek] to mislead the American public into thinking that there's something debatable, something still uncertain, about climate change." Almost everyone in the audience smiles or nods in agreement. "We have to win this information battle, and this website will be a valuable tool," he says.
The website, called "Waves of Change," features an array of climate change articles and videos. "Changes," one of three tabs at the top of the home page, attempts to answer the simple question, "What's changing?" by delving into rising temperatures, sea levels, and ocean acidification. "Impacts" makes it personal, by exploring how climate change can destroy cash crops, erode beaches, kill tourism — and kill people, through heat waves and more frequent storms. The site notes how heavy rains in March 2010 "causing massive flooding which left major shopping malls and Interstate 95 underwater" sapped millions of dollars from the Rhode Island economy. "Actions" brings visitors to a page with ideas for combating the inevitable challenges of climate change.

According to the fan base on Metacritic, it sure is looking that way.
I play wow and SC2, and frankly - games are going to start requiring an "always on" connection, which I have no problem with. I'm just surprised so many people are upset by it.
Also, whats the deal with people thinking that the graphics are the same as 12 years ago? I think they look amazing and fit the atmosphere/tone of the game. I don't think it's fair if you are comparing D3 to something like Battlefield 3.
Anywho - thoughts?

A good deed on the way to the skate park paid off for an aspiring police officer.
Matthew Marsh, who is a Year 8 pupil at St Mary's School, was walking to Kowhai Park in January when he found a wallet on the footpath.
"I was walking along Bell St, taking a shortcut to get to the bowl, and I found it on the ground. I looked inside for some ID, but I couldn't find any, so I took it straight to the police station."
Police found $500 in cash in the wallet and commended Matthew for his honesty in handing it in, something he said some kids his age wouldn't have done.
"I told the guys at the bowl about it, and they said, 'Why did you hand it in?', and I said, 'I'm not like you guys; I don't steal'," he said.
As reward for his honesty, Matthew was treated to a day out with a dog handling unit yesterday.
After he was picked up in a police vehicle by Senior Constable Jason Page and his German shepherd Farris, Matthew was put through all the same training a dog handling officer would receive, including obedience, article searching and tracking.
Mr Page said he even had to crawl under blackberry bushes as part of the training.
At one point, Matthew had to try and hide from Farris and fellow police pooch Bax, which he said was a real highlight of the day.
"We were at Jubilee Hospital and I had to hide in some cupboards, and it was really cool when they found me."
Matthew said he was keen to enter the police force, and his experience with Mr Page had made him even more enthusiastic.
"...I definitely think I'd like to be a dog handler."

U.N. Study Shows That More People Have Cell Phones Than Toilets
On the eve of World Water Day last week, the United Nations offered a sobering statistic: according to its recent study, more people on Earth have access to cell phones than toilets.
Out of the world's estimated 7 billion people, six billion have access to mobile phones. Far fewer — only 4.5 billion people — have access to working toilets. Of the 2.5 billion who don't have proper sanitation, 1.1 billion defecate in the open, according to the study.
U.N. Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson said in a statement that this is a global crisis that people "don't like to talk about." He said the U.N. is trying to cut in half the number of people without access to clean toilets by 2015 and eliminate by 2025 the practice of open defecation, which is linked to many diseases.
According to Yahoo, India alone is responsible for 60 percent of the global population lacking access to basic sanitation. About half of its 1.2 billion population are mobile subscribers, but only 366 million people, around one-third of its total population, have access to toilets, noted a 2010 U.N. report.
In August 2012, Bill Gates launched the campaign "reinvent the toilet" to reduce the number of children who die as a result of sanitation problems. According to the Los Angeles Times, The Gates Foundation offered in 2011 $42 million to researchers, asking them to build the toilet of tomorrow—one that is safe, hygienic, uses little water and easy to install.

Nov. 12, 2012
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – After leading the Lady Vol volleyball team to a pair of straight-set victories at Ole Miss and South Carolina, junior libero Ellen Mullins has been named the Southeastern Conference Co-Defensive Player of the Week, as announced by the league office on Monday.
The honor is Mullins' third defensive player of the week award of the 2012 campaign, as the Lady Vols closed out their regular season road slate with a pair of wins to improve to 19-6 overall and 12-4 in SEC action. UT finishes its road schedule with a 10-2 record.
The Nashville native finished with 33 total digs last week for an average of 5.50 per set, and helped the Lady Vols post a .316 attacking clip as the squad's primary passer. She also added eight assists and one service ace over two matches.
On Friday in Oxford, Miss., Mullins led the team with 15 digs in the back row as Tennessee topped Ole Miss, 25-15, 25-18, 25-19, to record its ninth consecutive victory against the Rebels. UT hit .364 against Ole Miss.
Mullins, who recently became the Lady Vols' 13th member of the 1,000-career dig club, averaged an even 6.0 digs per set on Sunday at South Carolina, finishing the match with a team-high 18 scoops. The Big Orange fought back for a 27-25 first set victory against the Gamecocks and then took the next two sets by decisive 25-16 and 25-18 margins, respectively. It was also UT's ninth straight win over South Carolina.
Mullins currently ranks fourth in the SEC in digs per set with an average of 4.49. In conference matches only, she's averaging 4.87 scoops a game and ranks third. Behind Mullins, Tennessee ranks second in SEC matches with 17.32 digs per set.
It's the sixth SEC weekly award for Tennessee this season, including the fourth defensive player of the week honor. In addition to Mullins' three, redshirt senior DeeDee Harrison has garnered one defensive player of the week award, while senior Leslie Cikra and junior Kelsey Robinson have each been named offensive player of the week.
The Orange and White returns home after a four-match roadswing to conclude the 2012 regular season at home with four matches. The Lady Vols will host Auburn in the first meeting of the season in what will be head coach Rob Patrick's 500th career match at Tennessee on Friday, Nov. 16. First serve at Thompson-Boling Arena is slated for 7 p.m.

This is the German area of Epcot at DisneyWorld. I know it's always a bit disappointing when I say this, isn't it? I wish it was all real too… but, it is close-enough to real, so that's not so bad. It's like getting a pretty good milkshake or an above-average massage. No one complains about these things. And I didn't complain while here either… the architecture and feel was pretty cool… the food was good… no bitter-looking German tourists… a pretty good combo! :)

Air filter mod and AFR heads net 409 rwhp on ls6
Just thought I'd give you guys a heads up on the updates of the ls6 motor.
Here's the report from the owner. (not me)
Stano, A corvette owner wanted to make more power without sacraficing comfort or drivability. Basically, he wanted the car to act completely stock, just have a bunch more power. Living in CA, he also didnt want to deal with exhaust mods (long tube headers.etc) that would cause me problems with the " smog police". he saw the numbers posted with the AFR heads when they made over 470 hp LAPD's dyno so he decided to call LAPD and see what they could do he spoke with Al and discussed his goals and what he was trying to accomplish. To be honest, he was really hoping just to make over 400hp at the rear wheel and retain all the stock drivability. Al thought we could make that number with just the addition of the new AFR heads, in conjunction with his recent tuning & cold air intake. In a nutshell he was right....We made 409 hp and 391 ft lbs and all he can say is the car feels incredible! Power was up across the board over the entire dyno run.
Bottom line, his stock Z06 with the addition of the new AFR heads and cold air intake is making somewhere around 475 hp
2002 Z06 owners now have a nice option and adding headers should give around 425 at the rear wheels!
Nice mod..
Cost: 2300 for the heads..
approximately 8 hours of labor..(350 to 450 dollars)
Ls1edit (300 to 500)
Sell LS6 heads for around 800 and net cost..
1800 to 2300 dollars to get 475 at the flywheel!
Add headers and your over 500 at the flywheel..
Not a bad deal...

Re: Air filter mod and AFR heads net 409 rwhp on ls6
You are dramatically playing with the emissions when you change heads, and with out changing the exhaust, you are causing more of a restriction in the exhaust which will lead to higher EGT's and a hotter running motor. The key to making more HP is flow in , out , and through the motor. There are consequences to just helping 2 of the 3. 409rwhp through the stock exhaust with heads and intake sounds normal with any set of aftermarket heads. I'll bet he could now pick up (depending on how radical the heads are) 75-100hp just by doing headers and exhaust.
Re: Air filter mod and AFR heads net 409 rwhp on ls6
The gentlemen who did this to his Z06 is thrilled with the result.
Just thought I'd pass this along and I happen to agree headers would be a good move in freeing up an extra 20hp..
Just shooting the breeze on whats been done so far.
I'm sure with this report that in the near future someone with headers will attempt a similiar mod and report back.
Just a heads up on whats going on with the ls6 motor in Z06's
Thought it might be of interest to other ls6 engined cars such as the CTS V.

Re: Air filter mod and AFR heads net 409 rwhp on ls6
I may consider the heads when I do the Kooks. Of course I'm still praying they make those!
Noone has yet talked me out of a 427cid though!

Amethi, Rae Bareli lose 24x7 power supply
The nine-month-old decision to provide round-the-clock electricity to these two places was revoked late on Thursday.
Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh has ended 24x7 power supply to Amethi and Rae Bareli, represented in Parliament by Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi, indicating a rift between the Samajwadi Party and the Congress. The move was taken by the Uttar Pradesh Power Corp Ltd, officials said on Friday.
The nine-month-old decision to provide round-the-clock electricity to these two places was revoked late on Thursday, after which power went off for more than four hours, officials said. The Akhilesh Yadav government had run into rough weather when the power regulatory authority had sought a reply from it on the logic behind giving 24x7 power supply to nine districts, including Rae Bareli and Amethi.
This was when other parts of the sprawling state faced acute power shortage. While officials were mum on the matter, some privy to the decision said from now on, VIP districts would also get "normal" power supply.
"I would not like to draw any political inference," a senior UPPCL official said. Officials justified the move. "With the onset of summer, power demand is at its peak. We have to devise ways to accommodate every district," an official said.
Uninterrupted power supply, however, continues to other VIP zones like Mainpuri (Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav's Lok Sabha constituency), Kannauj (Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav's wife Dimple's constituency), Etawah (home district of the Yadav family), Sambhal (constituency of Mulayam's nephew Dharmendra Singh Yadav) and Rampur (home turf of UP cabinet minister Mohd Azam Khan).
Congress spokesman Amarnath Agarwal said the move smacked of politics. He asked why some districts continued to get uninterrupted power supply if power shortage was really the reason behind the move.
Rae Bareli once elected late prime minister Indira Gandhi to the Lok Sabha. Congress president Sonia Gandhi used to represent Amethi earlier in parliament before her son entered electoral politics. The Samajwadi Party provides crucial parliamentary support to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) coalition.

Fairwinds Credit Union Ridiculous fees I guess? Winter Park Florida
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Today 5/7/13 I went in to finally make the switch from Bank of America to Fairwinds. I have had an account with them for about 4 months, but haven't used it other than my initial deposit. I was aware of the monthly fee if certain criteria were not met.
The account was opened with an initial balance of $250, I used it one time to pay for gas in the amount of $45. Well today when I went in, I was informed my account was forwarded to the collections department for being $10 in the negative. I asked for information of how the balance had went so low because there was no way the fees would have caused this.
I am clearly done with this bank. They offered no resolution to the issue, and had a very poor attitude about the whole situation. I will patiently wait for a written answer from them because the teller was no help.

Little did Courtenay realize that, when he accepted the role, he'd be offered two more episodes shortly after the end of Season Five's "Proving Ground", his premiere episode. He then appeared in "Summit" and "Last Stand" where we, the viewers, were made to believe he was killed with the Tok'ra Lantash in an attempt to destroy Zipacna's armada on the planet Revanna.
Now, Courtenay is back! This time it's on Stargate Atlantis, playing a young character by the name of Keras in the recent episode "Childhood's End." Beware of spoilers for this episode!
While in Vancouver, GateWorld's David Read took camera assistant Denise ("Skydiver") to Granville Island, a former industrial district converted into a family attraction center. Courtenay met us outside the Arts Club Theatre, where he later explained just what he was doing there, and updated us on his latest Stargate appearance.
GateWorld's interview with Courtenay is available for easy viewing in a video file, as well as transcribed below! The video version is over 18 minutes long, and requires QuickTime 7.0 or higher.
Courtenay J. Stevens: Alright!
GW: How aware were you of Stargate before you became Elliot?
CS: Not that aware, actually. I mean, I knew that the show was going on and I knew some people who were involved. I'd seen a few episodes but I wasn't following it closely. And then once I got in I realized what a good show, what a good family it actually is.
GW: So it was really cool to immerse yourself into this lore that had been established for five years?
CS: Yeah, absolutely! Yeah, I mean five years is quite a long time for any show. Yeah. It was a wonderful opportunity to get involved, and then go back and see a lot of the episodes and the character development that I was unaware of.
CS: Yeah, I just jumped into it, actually. I didn't see it, which I guess makes sense anyway, because Elliot, the character, would've been aware that she was involved but wouldn't have seen anything of her involvement.
GW: What was the original concept for this young and enthusiastic character? He was inexperienced, driven, had something to prove. What did you find made him tick?
CS: One of the original ideas was that they were sort of shopping around for a spin-off series, which became Atlantis. So they were looking for a team to mirror the team that was already involved. So Elliot was at least written as somewhat of a young O'Neill, and that's kind of why he gets under O'Neill's skin a bit -- but obviously a bit different. More ambitious, just really wanting to do the right thing and, I mean I guess he was really selfish. He really wanted to get to the top, get to the top at all costs. And the change being in "Proving Ground" when they pulled the rug out. He had to save Hailey, and unbeknownst to him it was another trick.
GW: So you say that at that point, they were of course shopping around, they were getting ready for Stargate Atlantis. Was there any possibility that this team would have anything to do with the other series or was this just -- because a lot of Stargate fans were thinking, "OK, the old team's wearing out. These are the guys that are going to replace them." Was there any of that?
CS: I think there was speculation. I think they were just spending time looking at options. So I mean, nothing was in the works, per se, but there was sort of general talk about it. I know they were looking at it. But the four of us, our team, as actors, ended up doing other things. I left the city shortly after "Last Stand," so I was out of the loop for about three years.
CS: I don't know, actually. I think they coincided. They left his ending somewhat ambiguous. And I think that maybe were I still around there would have been potential for some more Elliot, but I was booked and busy doing other things.
GW: Were you aware of the 3-episode arc from the get-go at that point when you started?
CS: No, actually, I wasn't. Yeah, it was a nice surprise. I think originally Hailey was supposed to continue as well. We were supposed to move on, maybe -- I'm not sure what happened. But yeah, I'm not sure how they're writing these things. They don't necessarily give characters knowledge of future events. But I think if you have a solid foundation, which I think we had in "Proving Ground," it was easy for them to write something else, which they did.
GW: Originally for "Summit" and "Last Stand" JR Bourne was going to return as Martouf and Lantash, and JR couldn't meet the schedule. And so it was kind of quickly brought up that, "OK, let's bring back Elliot and see if we can carry on his character, see if we can merge him with Lantash." Was that surprising that that popped up, or was that like, "Oh, great! Whatever. Let's do it."
CS: Sure! I mean, they made the offer and I was happy to accept it. So they didn't really think too much about it. Yeah.
GW: In "Proving Ground," you were obviously the leader. Did you do anything, as an actor, to meld with Elizabeth, David, and -- I forgot Satterfield's actual name -- Hailey, Grogan and Satterfield. Did you do anything to get it so that on camera it looked like you guys had a lot of time in training together?
GW: Was there anything rewarding about playing Elliot?
CS: Was there anything rewarding about it? Absolutely, yeah! I thought it was a really well-crafted role. I though it was well written and it was a nice character arc, in his journey. We get to see him deliberate and get his wings, basically, and make a few errors, and then come up big in the end. It's a bit of a hero role. It's kind of nice.
GW: For a series like Stargate, not all of these characters really get to have a complete arc. I mean, he started off from A and ended up at F. You really got a full circle case to it. He started off as naïve and ended up sacrificing himself.
CS: Yeah, I mean that's always rewarding when you can have a character that has a complete journey. That's rewarding as an actor.
GW: Who of the principal cast did you most enjoy working with? You worked extensively with Amanda in "Summit" and "Last Stand," and O'Neill, Richard Dean Anderson, in "Proving Ground."
CS: Well, everyone was great. I think Amanda and I really hit it off. She's just a joy on set, and really buoyant, fun, and funny. She's a gas. And she's from Toronto and she was involved with the theater scene there, and I had a theater background so we were able to work through that. We knew some of the same people. So, yeah, that always helps.
CS: Well, everyone as well. Rick's a good guy as well. He's the star of the show. That's always a good energy to be around. What he says goes, and he has some power. He's a good guy.
GW: Did you become acquainted with Lantash and his past before taking on the symbiote at the end of "Summit?" Did you have a background of Lantash, where he'd come from and his love affairs, and et cetera, et cetera?
CS: Yeah, it's backstory, so we had to talk about that.
GW: What did you find appealing about Lantash?
CS: I guess the love affairs that you mentioned, the romance. That's kind of appealing.
GW: So after you blended with Lantash it was like, "Oh, Major Carter!"
CS: Yeah, maybe that's why we got on so well! (Laughter)
GW: Did you regret the journey -- so far, as far as we know -- did you regret the journey had to end in "Last Stand," despite the fact that you had to move away?
CS: Sure! Like I said, it's a really good group, and a good family. I would've loved to spend some more time with the crew. It's good work, and an enjoyable show. Those two things, like good people and a good show -- absolutely, yeah.
GW: Do you think we've seen the last of Elliot and Lantash?
GW: What can you tell us about Keras and Stargate Atlantis? At this point the episode will have already aired, so kind of a rehash.
CS: It's actually, again, another nice role. I've been really pleased with what Stargate has offered me. Again, another full journey. This one, I suppose in comparing Keras and Elliot, like I mentioned before, Elliot being more selfish and kind of find some -- he has this revelation. Keras already has a great deal of responsibility on his shoulders. He's the leader of a society that, at 25, they kill themselves. And it's been going on for 400 years.
GW: 400? Wow.
CS: Yeah. So it's their religion, basically. It's the way things happen. And then he gets some information from the Stargate team that says, "This might not be the way you have to do it."
GW: Probably rocked his world a little.
CS: Well, exactly! Exactly. So that's one of the exciting things. I'm going, "Oh, my God! But it's been this way forever. You can't be seriously telling me that that's not true." And then he goes through that journey and realizes by the end of it that that doesn't have to be the way.
What also has to weigh in, not just himself, but the responsibility of the society. Because he's not just thinking about his own well-being. He's thinking about several hundred people. So yeah, if he doesn't kill himself and the new information is wrong, then everyone suffers, and he's basically obliterated a society. So that's weighing on his shoulders.
CS: Well, the way it works -- actually it's on the eve of his 25th birthday. So when he turns 25, or when anyone in the society turns 25, they make a sacrifice, killing themselves. It's been going on forever. And if they don't do it, the society does it for them.
GW: So to keep the Wraith at bay, they do that?
CS: Yeah. And then whoever is next in line, whoever is the eldest, becomes the leader.
GW: If you had the chance to play either character in another Stargate episode, which would you chose?
CS: Of Keras or Elliot? Oh, wow. Can I do both? I don't know! I mean -- Keras, maybe, because he's fresher.
GW: A little less explored.
CS: Yeah, I mean that's just been a few months ago that we shot the episode, whereas like I said Elliot has been a few years. But it'd be interesting to go back a few years later and explore a character.
GW: Well, considering their track record with bringing a people back that's a pretty good possibility. Would you be up for that?
CS: Absolutely! Yeah, yeah.
GW: Do you believe Atlantis has potential?
GW: From the actor's point of view, how are the two shows similar and different? You've had the great opportunity of being a part of both. Obviously it's probably more oiled now than it was even in year five. What are the similarities and differences about working on each program?
CS: The nice thing about it [Atlantis] is that it is new. When I went into SG-1 it was year five, and it's been around for a while. But it knows what it's doing -- whereas Atlantis is still exploring, but it's in a good way. Like I said, it's not crazy energy and scattered. It's young.
GW: That had to be more freeing as an actor.
CS: Absolutely! There's a lot of energy. People aren't necessarily: "Do you want to try?" "Yeah, sure, let's try that!" And open to exploring, and always leaving storylines open. And they're not sure, as you say -- who knows how long it will go. I'm sure Stargate didn't know it was going to go for so many seasons.
GW: You've brought us to Granville Island, the Arts Club Theater. Can you tell us what you're up to here?
CS: Ah, yes! I'm opening a play this evening, actually. We have a matinee in a couple hours, then we're opening tonight. It's a play called The Number 14. It's based on a bus. It doesn't run anymore. This plays' been going on for about 12 years, on and off. I've been a part of it for two weeks. It was a bus that ran from the skids to the posh part of town. It's a broad physical comedy, completely different from Stargate! But it's full of characters -- lots of mask work, very theatrical, and it's just laugh-a-minute. The reason it's so popular is people just come and bust a gut. It's really quite funny. It's a joy to be a part of.
CS: That's it, for now. Then I have -- I do quite a bit of theater, so I'm doing another play. I just got back from Norway with a play. Actually just after shooting Atlantis I went to Norway with this play that I've been doing for a while. That comes in and out of my life. It's another movement piece. We were in London, Australia, New Zealand this year.
GW: My goodness!
CS: Yeah!
GW: So you went touring!
CS: Yeah! It's been getting me around.
GW: Well, best of luck to your theater productions and acting. And we sure hope to see you again in the future of Stargate!
CS: Thanks!
GW: Thanks a lot!
CS: A pleasure!

Fish Attack!
The next stage in our introduction to Asian busing was our trip from Lovina to Pemuteran, which is another beach "town" more known for snorkeling/diving. Pemuteran was very strange because it was not really a town so much as it was a building here and there along a road. The diving and snorkeling industry was well-developed, having lots of shops and dive centers, but nothing else was. There was no central town, a surprising lack ...
It's 2.30pm NZ time Sat 11/1/14 - we're half way
... better then the Monkey Forest in Ubud. Both monkey experiences were great, but to compare, this 'side of the road' experience was very jolly with lots of giggles. Putu had brought along a bag of chopped pawpaw leaf, monkeys loved this more than banana, plus Tiernan and Kyrian were feeding the monkeys some tapioca crisps. We just sat on the footpath with the monkeys..... good friends, having a feed, just no beer! We had ...
Muck-diving in Gilimanuk
Am ready to jump in the water in Gilimanuk and to explore the area again. We had two really good dives there although the water was quite refreshing (not to say cold, unfortunately I only brought a 2.5mm wetsuit).
We saw some really nice frogfish, lots of pufferfish, quite a lot of batfish, and incredible swarm of catfish and loads of other fishswarms...
After two muck dives we started our hunt for a decent priced homestay/hotel ...
Goodbye Java, Hello Bali
... coral. After the dive i left my luxury pad and checked into the Arjuna Homestay which as well as having 15 nice rooms has a six bed dorm for 75,000INR a night (and it's got a swimming pool). The place only opened in July so is brand spanking new and the owners really friendly. It also has an on-site dive shop – Dive Concepts. It may well be at the top of my list of favourite hostels i've stayed. ...
Road/Sea Trip from Lovina to Nusa Lembongan
... jackets, so we followed the recommendations found on a blog and opted for a speedboat operated by Scoot Cruises. The crossing took 30 minutes and included pick up and drop off in the Rp 550'000 ticket, even all the way to Ubud for the return trip. Embarking and disembarking happens on the beach, so wear shorts, and the crew loads and unloads your luggage for you. If the tide is low, though, they will let you carry it for 30 metres in 30 centimetres of water, which is rather ...

Recycling Paper
Most of us have just recycled the paper and have done nothing more about it, the reasoning being that the authorities will now catch up with us anyway and we may as well slow up the process as much as we can. Thanks are due to those on the UKHE list for their encouragement in taking this line of action. I might have lost my nerve worrying about whether this course of action will prejudice them against us when they eventually come knocking at the door. It just might do exactly this, but on the other hand, I would have hated myself had I just rolled over and offered up the information.

Probably a good decision, but do I detect a twinge of conscience?! Admit it - at the back of your mind you're worried that the slowing up process will compromise the safety of abused children! Jx

Tee Heee....Just wonder how you came to be wondering! And wonder also how that comment slipped through!!! Isn't there some rule about insider dealing?
But of course, you're right I was thinking about this point. But now you've made me think about it again, I don't think it will in any way compromise children at risk, because the authorities will come checking come what may, whether or not I ticked the box.

It's going to be close next Thursday, so the chance presents to see a good few politicians venturing into unfamiliar territory and looking just a little bit awkward. Once re-elected, most will revert to what they know, so this is a limited window of opportunity. Enjoy.
Operation Black Vote says there are 113 seats where visible minorities could sway the result, so it pays for white English politicians to be "down with the ethnics", as Boris Johnson memorably put it. That doesn't mean it's easy.
Consider the plight of Labour minister Jim Fitzpatrick. He has Muslim constituents now gunning for his head, in part because he noisily objected to being separated from his wife during a Muslim wedding at an east London mosque. His visit could have been a vote-winner. Ended up quite the opposite.
Photographs of Ken Livingstone have pride of place in many of the curry houses of Brick Lane, from whence came much of his vote in London, but he too has been the subject of misunderstandings. The best occurred during his time as MP for Brent East, when his hosts at a Sikh temple inadvertently highlighted the risk of taking too much information from the Daily Mail. "Our esteemed guest today is a very important man," said the master of ceremonies proudly. "Welcome our friend Redken."
Tories have been particularly keen to be down with the ethnics because a key part of the Cameron project has been the quest to prove that the party is no longer racist. Thus, says a friend in blue, visits to black churches, temples, mosques and synagogues have long received the highest priority. "The briefing beforehand is on a par with that a minister would get before an appearance on Question Time," he tells me. "When to say As-Salamu 'Alaykum and wa alaikum assalam, when to take shoes off; when to shake hands, when not to shake. They are schooled to within an inch of their lives."
Still accidents can happen. One architect of the Tory way of doing things was Oliver Letwin, but even he came a cropper at one swanky gathering of Asians in central London. Things have changed, he grandly pronounced. "Gone are the days of Empire." Cue silence, fidgeting, widespread bemusement. No more empire? Lucky us. Gee Oliver, thanks.

Vadodara, July 15 (UNI) Police have arrested two Bodeli-based theatre owners for resorting to violence over alleged screening of Aamir Khan's film ''Fanaa'' which is facing a ban in Gujarat following the cine star's controversial stand on the Narmada Dam issue.
At least five people, including owners of the two laser theatres, were injured in the attack and counter attack launched by the supporters of the duo on each others theatres for secretely screening ''Fanaa''. Both the theatres had suffered damages to the tune of over Rs 3 lakh.
Bodeli town police yesterday, arrested the owner of Krishna theatre, Maganbhai Rupala and Balaji laser theatre owner Mahendrabhai Jotangi and his brother Sachin for being part of the mob attack on each others theatre.
The trio were taken into police custody today after they were discharged from the hospital, Bodeli police said, adding that three more accused in the case were absconding.
Although Fanaa was recently released across the country, Gujarat Theatre Owners' Association decided not to screen the film after the youth wings of both the BJP and the Congress parties and different youth organisations organised anti-Aamir and anti-Fanaa movement in different parts of the state.
After the Gujarat High Court gave its ruling on the release of Fanaa, only one theatre in Jamnagar, owned by a relative of the local Congress MP, dared to screen the film, but it was withdrawn immediately after a youth immolated himself inside the cinema hall protesting against Aamir Khan's alleged anti-Narmada dam stand.

The Obama administration has essentially given oil company Royal Dutch Shell the go-ahead to start drilling off the coast of Alaska. Environmental groups have long warned of the dangers of doing so, but estimates show there may be as much as 22 billion barrels of oil and 93 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in the area. Judy Woodruff talks to Coral Davenport of The New York Times. Continue reading
There has been a sharp increase in the number of earthquakes in Oklahoma in recent years. Some observers have suggested the rise of oil and gas drilling is responsible.

Not even 48 hours since announcing a plan to block drilling in Alaska's arctic wildlife refuge, the Obama administration rolled out a plan to open up parts of the southern Atlantic coast for oil and gas exploration. While lawmakers from Virginia to Georgia support the move, politicians in the North worry about safety standards. Judy Woodruff learns more from Amy Harder of The Wall Street Journal.

U.S. oil and natural gas output is soaring. But less than a decade ago, no one saw it coming. Even industry executives were signalling that production had peaked. But innovations that have made drilling technology "smaller, faster, lighter, denser, cheaper" have revolutionized the industry, says Manhattan Institute Senior Fellow Robert Bryce, author of the new book of the same descriptive title.

In other news Wednesday, the Interior Department said it is reversing the plan laid out last March to drill for oil off the East Coast and in the eastern Gulf of Mexico. The Obama administration unveiled the plan before the BP oil spill. The new plan means no new drilling proposals off of the East Coast for at least seven years. Continue reading

Investigative journalist Nicky Hager has told a jury hearing a defamation case he would not have approved a book, at the centre of the case, for publication due to insufficient evidence.
London-based former diplomat and civil servant Lindsay Smallbone is suing author and investigate editor Ian Wishart over the book in a civil case in the High Court at Wellington.
Mr Smallbone alleges he was defamed in a 2011 book, The Hunt, which was co-authored by Mr Wishart and George London, the husband of Mr Smallbone's ex-wife Paulette London.
The book tells the tale of a child abduction case involving two of Mrs London's children from another marriage, who were taken from her more than 30 years ago before being reunited recently as adults.
Mr Smallbone alleges he was defamed by the book, in which Mrs London said he was addicted to pornography and strip clubs, fantasised about sex with men at his church and forced her into sex shows while travelling overseas.
The pair's marriage ended about 40 years ago.
Hager told the jury today he would have felt "uncomfortable" about publishing sexual allegations from an ex-spouse unless he had done a lot of work and collaboration.
Hager told the court he had been called to give evidence due to his experience as an investigative journalist.
Hager, who has published five books unveiling cover-ups in New Zealand politics and the military, said while his area of expertise was not in sexual violence cases, standard principles governed the publication process of all books that made allegations.
"If I'm not absolutely sure of something, I don't publish it."
Publications involving individuals who had previously been involved in a relationship or marriage required extra care, he said.
"I would of course [have] confronted the person about whom these allegations are being made," Hager told the court.
When asked by Mr Wishart, who is representing himself, whether he would have published The Hunt based on the research which had been presented to him by Mr London, Hager replied he would have reached a different decision to his colleague.
Mr Hager also told the jury that in some scenarios, a "single source" may be enough for a journalist, however that source would have to be highly credible and present solid evidence.
Mr Wishart is expected to give evidence when the trial resumes tomorrow.
