Robert Reich's Commentary
A few weeks ago a public-relations firm working for General Motors phoned to ask if I'd say on the media that the buyback GM was offering to its employees was a good deal for them. GM's PR firm said they'd offer me money if I did this, as a show of respect. I told them I'd look at the deal and make up my own mind, and I told them to keep their money.
Well, I've looked at the deal in detail and I don't know whether GM's buy-back offer is a good thing for its employees or not. That depends on whether the alternative is a GM bankruptcy, in which case anyone who bailed out early and got some cash would be lucky. It's a bit like an over-booked airline offering money to any ticketed passenger willing to give up a seat. It would be a great deal for the passenger who took them up on it if the plane never got off the ground.But I've got to tell you, I did not appreciate getting that call from GM's PR-firm. I don't want to sound prissy or self-righteous. But it just seems wrong for a company to offer money to someone like me to express a view the company wants expressed in the media. It's one thing to offer an employee buyout. Quite another to offer an integrity buyout.
Bad enough the White House goes around paying columnists like Armstrong Williams for favorable coverage. If we've got to a point in this country where big corporations feel free to offer what are essentially bribes to columnists and commentators, then we're really in trouble. We no longer have a free press. We no longer have experts you can trust. And the opinions you read or hear every day are worth absolutely zilch.
I don't know how many experts or pundits get offers like the one I got. I hope mine was the rare exception. And I also hope and expect that anyone who gives their opinions in the media refuses to take any money from anyone with a vested interest in their opinion. But on the basis of this one instance, I don't think I'm wrong to be concerned.

If you have a surround sound DVD system, do not buy the new Beck album Guero on CD.
Instead, purchase the DELUXE DVD version!! It has the entire album, plus several extra tracks, videos for the songs, and more. The surround sound experience is fantastic. Beck clearly conceived of these songs for this format–they're busy with little details, and they're spacious enough that you can explore them in different ways with each listen. I rarely listen to an album three times through without a break, but I did tonight, and I can't wait to hear it again. Beck is one of the few rock artists recording in surround sound. His 5.1 surround version of Sea Change is an awe-inspiring experience. Guero is an entirely different experience, but equally enjoyable.
Meanwhile, I've already raved and raved to you about the new Over the Rhine album Drunkard's Prayer. Now I can tell you that the packaging that comes with it is the most handsome collection of photos they've ever offered with an album. Since they moved out of that gorgeous old place called "the Grey Ghost," where they recorded this record, it's nice they invited us in for a tour before leaving.
I know, I know, I've been promising a full review. I'm working on it. Very soon. Good reviews take time.

Squatters have taken over a derelict Grade II-listed pub in a bid to re-open it for the community.
They're hoping to agree a deal with Spirit Pub Company, which owns The Doctor Johnson pub in Barkingside, north-east London.
Police attended the pub — which has been empty for three years — but they were allowed to stay as it is legal to squat in a commercial property. Squatter 'Gee', 41, said he represents a group called Suspenses Property Guardians and is living in the pub with three other men.
He said: "It is a crime that this is unused, the facilities should be used by the community here. We plan on speaking to the owner to strike a deal."
Local business owners said they welcomed something being done about the pub.

Layer 2 and layer 3 switch
ello everyone,
Can any one explain the below terms to me?
How to identify of find whether the switch is layer 3 switch or layer 2 switch?
For example, If i have one cisco switch,then how i can idendify is it a layer 3 or layer 2 switch?.Is there any command we can execute in the switch or is there any term we need to serach in the switch config to identify this.Please explain....i am blasting my head for the answer....
As such there is no command which will give an output mentioning the switch is layer 2 or layer 3. Its the operational functionality which determines if a switch is L3 compatible. For example....
Enable routing on the switch by using the ip routing command.
Switch(config)#ip routing
Check the show running-configuration. Verify whether ip routing is enabled.
hostname Switch
ip subnet-zero
ip routing
If you think the post was helpful, please do not forget to mark it as Answered.

hi mamas please spam me with non traditional bfast foods please.
i noticed gluten makes dd sleepy and tired.
so gluten is avoided - not a big no no. i find if wheat or other gluten foods are a minor part of her diet she does ok.
recently we attended a buddhist retreat and dd LOVED, LOVED their bfast and all other meals. we had sphagetti for bfast with soy protein i think.
i made dd some seaweed soup (real seaweed not nori) with rice as the main base and then i throw in different ingredients like either stir fry veggies or straight veggies without frying.
she does not like milk, she does not like dried fruit or raisin or nuts in her oatmeal. she likes spices like cinammon, nuttmeg, etc.
i also do a potato pepper onion and egg stirfry that she loves.
i am going to get some rice and bean noodles - she loves them for bfast lunch and dinner.
i need recipe ideas.
any thoughts?
www.elanaspantry.com has a recipe for blueberry muffins made from coconut flour. Plus tons of almond flour recipes. I have a coconut flour cookbook, you can search it on amazon.com
I got this from someone else and have meant to make it. Maybe soon.
Quick Quinoa Breakfast with Warm Cinnamon Apples
Try making a double batch of the apples (use a larger pan) and save some in the fridge for the next few breakfasts. You can also add fresh or frozen cranberries to the apples or dried fruit such as raisins or currants. Try using other fruit in place of the apples such as fresh or frozen peaches or plums. We make large pots of quinoa but you can make a small pot like I do in this recipe.
How to Make a Pot of Quinoa:
1 cup quinoa
1 3/4 cups water
pinch sea salt
Rinse and drain the quinoa in a fine mesh strainer to remove the bitter saponin coating. Place rinsed quinoa in a small pot and add water and salt. Cover and bring to a boil, then turn heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes. Remove pot from heat and let stand for about 10 minutes before serving.
Cinnamon Apple Topping:.
1 to 2 tablespoons virgin coconut oil
3 apples (I used Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and sliced thin
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1/4 cup water or apple juice
2 to 3 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
pinch sea salt
Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add coconut oil. Once the oil is melted add your apples and saute far a few minutes, stirring frequently. Then add the honey, water, spices and salt. Stir and let simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until apples are cooked as desired.
Top each bowl of quinoa with apples and chopped or ground nuts.
Other Ideas for a Healthy Gluten-Free Breakfast:
· A bowl of cooked quinoa and cooked lentils topped with a sprinkling of Herbamare. Sliced apples on the side. (our kids love this - it is a favorite)
· Finely diced potatoes sauteed with chopped onions and cumin then rolled in a rice tortilla with black beans and salsa.
· Leftover cooked rice and cooked garbanzo beans topped with a little Herbamare, green smoothie on the side.
· Sweet Rice Cereal (recipe in our cookbook) topped with pure Grade B maple syrup and chopped nuts.
· Buckwheat Pancakes (recipe in our cookbook) topped with fresh fruit and pure Grade B maple syrup.
· Teff Breakfast Muffin with a tall glass of Green Smoothie.
These are just a few ideas that don't involve gluten, dairy, eggs, corn, or soy, some of the top foods that can elicit a host of health-related issues.
Created an instant family (7/89 and 5/91) in 1997. Made a baby boy 12/05 adopted a baby girl 8/08. Ask me about tandem adoptive nursing and living as gluten, dairy, and cane sugar free vegetarians. Homeschooling and loving it.
Fried rice for breakfast (maybe with extra 5 spice powder in it if she likes cinnamon, etc a lot - with egg, bit of veg).
I also like to top rice leftovers or home cooked indian food leftovers with a fried egg for breakfast, extra excellent with a cilantro or tamarind sauce if we happen to have it.
Custards are nice for breakfast too - we often had pumpkin custard for breakfast, and I've made a 'breakfast flan' before too.
We've also gotten 'rise and shine breakfast cereal' which is well- liked at our house and also gluten free (as it's brown rice grits). Grits can get cooked sweet (with sugar & butter - or add fried apples or apple butter) or savory (with eggs, cheese, etc).
miso soup w/a good amount of tofu
chana dal-make a bunch ahead of time, and reheat in the morning. serve alone or over rice.
tacos, using corn tortillas
My favorite breakfast these days is brown rice w/craisins, cinnamon, agave syrup and vanilla coconut milk.
On special days we make "egg pizza" basically egg fritatta...saute some onions, mushrooms, raw spinach, scamble eggs, mix it all together in a large skillet and let it cook. Adding cheese or bacon or turkey sausage is yummy too!

Winning streak continues for Tonganoxie debaters
Tonganoxie debaters swept up more wins at this year's state tournament.
Bringing home a first-place trophy for four-speaker debate were seniors Heather Young, Tim Leffert, Heather Harrison and Katelyn Kelly.
And three two-speaker teams each placed fourth at state, said Tonganoxie debate coach Steve Harrell. These teams consist of Linsey High and Jason Smith, Levi Huseman and Jeff Gravatt, and Ben Jefferies and Garrett Kelly.
One other team -- Erin Holton and Jake Williams -- came in at 12th place in two-speaker debate.
The state tournament, held Jan. 23-24 in Salina, wrapped up the regular season. However, earlier in the season, two teams, consisting of Katelyn Kelly and Heather Harrison, and Linsey High and Jason Smith, qualified for nationals, which will be Memorial Day weekend in Boston.
Tonganoxie's name at state debate tournaments must seem formidable to other schools.
This is the fourth consecutive year that THS has one first place in four-speaker debate, Harrell said.
And, in the last seven years, THS has had at least one championship each year in either the four-speaker or the two-speaker teams.

Plot[2 x - 3 (x^2)^(1/3) + 4, {x, -1, 6}]
Note that, for negative x, x^(2/3) and (x^2)^(1/3) are not the same in
Mathematica. The latter expression gives a positive value, which is what
you want, while the former expression gives the _principal_ value of the
2/3 power, which has a nonzero imaginary part and so does not plot.

Blanket Designs Inspired By Camera Glitches [Pics]
Designer crafts throws using patterns from broken electronics.
2012 was the Year Of The Glitch, according to designer Phillip Stearns. The Brooklyn-based creative, whose favored form of media is electronics, has cobbled together blankets "layered with irony" as part of a current artistic project. The items, measuring 40 by 60 inches, have been modeled on patterns from "intentionally broken cameras" and aim to combine the cold, hard logic of a digital system with softer, malleable entities, like memory. As he said, the coverlets function as a "platform for fashioning corrupted memory." These works are reminiscent of the glitch cabinet, which PSFK wrote about previously.
Each piece will set you back $300 and $15 shipping, but be quick as there are only five of each design available for purchase.
Error-inspired art– a trend for 2013?
Check out a selection of designs in the gallery below.

Thanks for the input.
Well to be fair the $370 did include the cost of the install into the vehicle [the kit itself is like $180] . . . However, your point [and photos] are well taken. I definitely see the difference between a simple plug and play setup and "the real deal"
Are either of the cars in the photos yours? If not, are you running factory halogens in your car or did you retrofit (just curious).
Looks like unless I'm willing to go all the way it may not be worth it. . .

Just a reminder to never let the guard down.

Had to take care of some business at the bank yesterday late afternoon. As I left the bank, I did a visual sweep of the parking lots and alleys and there was nobody about. The only people I could see were two men in a car two slots down from mine (between my car and me). They were there when I pulled in. I walked toward the lot my car was in and suddenly I hear rapid steps behind me (with maybe a stumble). I am now between the sound and the two guys in the car about 15 feet away.
I turn my head slightly and see a 20+ white male, about 6' tall, suddenly move from directly behind me (about 2 feet away - way too close), to my weak side, suddenly badly overacting to "play off" that he was up to anything. I also had the distinct impression that he and the two in the car were exchanging visual cues. I looked him right in the eyes and said, "Coming up behind someone like that just after they have left the bank is a good way to get shot." (You know, like, "If you touch the burner you will get burned...)
He stopped for a second and I used that opportunity to get out from between the three of them and put a couple cars between us.
The guy then says, "Did you threaten to shoot me? You just threatened to shoot me!"
I replied in a no-uncertain-terms tone, "No, I did not. A stunt like what you just pulled is a good way to get yourself shot."
His reply was, "Get out of my way." (Uh, there were two cars between us.)
He then got into the car between the one the two were in and mine. Suddenly the car with the two started to pull out (would give them a blocking advantage) so I beat them to the punch and was able to leave the lot first.
I kept trying to figure out where the guy came from. Then this morning I took a look at a satellite shot of the location and suddenly realize that the "stumble" I heard was most likely him dropping from the big tree right at that location.
My gut instinct tells me he miss-timed his jump and missed me - screwing up his robbery attempt, and suddenly switched to plan B.
The entire encounter must have lasted only about 8-10 seconds, but it seemed like 5 minutes.
I was able to gather no usable "witness" data during that time. I was more concerned with getting out of the area, fast. All I can offer is: Three white males, approx. 20-23 years old, short hair. Two cars, one black one white.
It took until nearly midnight for my mind to settle down. I think I got off lucky on that one.
Update: I posted a sat image of the area - it is a couple pages into this thread.

Sounds like you were lucky. You handled it well as far as I can tell. I am not sure if it was a bad idea to say what you did. You were in a bad situation for a second when he was accusing you of threatening to shoot him. That's not the kind of attention you need to bring to the situation. I can't think of anything better to say though.
Congrats on being alert...it most likely saved your hide.

Tell the bank what happened and see if they have security video of the area. Might help someone else from being a target.
Holy crap. Glad you're ok.
That's a great reminder to scan EVERYthing. That's a habit I've gotten out of since getting out of protective work years ago. Thanks for pointing that out.
"Don't Tread on Me"
Sounds like you dodged a bad situation. I have to agree with jtyler too. While your statement was not technically threatening, someone can spin it that way. And if they spin it that way to the police, your day only goes downhill fast. It might have been better to say something like, "It's not a good idea to approach someone the way you did." In your defense, it took me a few minutes to come up with that without the stress of a potential robbery.
Glad nothing bad happened. Thanks for sharing.
We get so use to a eye level world we forget to look up. Lots of places to hide. You did OK.

Did you at anytime have your hand on your weapon ready to draw? What was your plan in case things went south? Glad to hear you made it out OK.
My Light Search and Rescue training (I am an instructor) really pushes the "do you know what is overhead?" question/awareness.
This has been a wake-up call on a couple points. Including closer monitoring of what comes out of my mouth in situations like that. (A toughie for me, as I do not normally mince my words. Been working on improving that for over 25+ years now... )
Second the motion to talk to the bank and let them know where you think the guy was hiding.
Maybe the bank has some security video from outside as well. If they do, and it shows a guy in a tree with two possible accomplices nearby, law enforcement might be interested.

Trying to woo Muslim voters, Kejriwal mostly spoke about Muzaffarnagar riots during the meetings he held in several areas dominated by the community. While addressing nearly more than 1,500 Muslims, including weavers, in the Jaitpura locality, Kejriwal attacked the ruling Samajwadi Party in the state over corruption.
"Weavers have to pay a bribe of Rs 100 to get their weaver credit card and also for other things," he alleged. "In nearly all government offices, common people have to pay bribes to get their works done. These government offices do not even spare a person after his death. Bribe is sought even for the issue of death certificates," he said. Attacking his rival Narendra Modi, Kejriwal said the Gujarat CM would be defeated in the elections.
Kejriwal also attacked the ruling Samajwadi Party while wooing Muslims
Accusing the BJP of using black money for campaigning, Kejriwal said, "Black money of around Rs 10,000 crore has been spent on publicity for Modi and BJP." He also hit out at Congress for spending "huge amount" on its publicity for the polls. Earlier, while holding 'chaupals' (public meetings) in villages here, Kejriwal said it was his mistake that he did not consult the people before quitting as the Delhi Chief Minister in just 49 days.
"Who wants to leave the important post of CM. But my soul did not allow me to continue on the post, so I gave my resignation. Tell me what mistake have I done by doing this," he said. "Even a peon does not want to leave his job. Leaving the CM's post is a big thing. For leaving a CM's post, one needs a strong heart and not a 56-inch chest," Kejriwal said, a comment apparently directed at Modi.
Accompanied by party leaders Sanjay Singh, Alka Lamba and others, Kejriwal held more than half a dozen public meetings today. Condemning an incident yesterday when a crowd gathered around him here and shouted slogans in favour of Narendra Modi, Kejriwal claimed that stones were also pelted by the BJP supporters. Local police, however, has denied any stone pelting.

Rookies of the Year
Three Georgia State newcomers bring home the hardware
As Georgia State bids farewell to the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA), the remaining schools likely aren't too broken up at the university's departure. With CAA rookies of the year in baseball and men's basketball, the league members are likely ecstatic they won't have to face R.J. Hunter in basketball and Josh Merrigan in baseball for the next three years.
The men's golf teams in the Sun Belt, Georgia State's new conference, are already familiar with Johnathan Grey, the Sun Belt golf rookie of the year.
Hunter, son of Panthers Head Coach Ron Hunter, earned Freshman All-America honors after becoming the most prolific freshman scorer in school history. He finished the year with a record 527 points, an average of 17 points a game. He also earned All-CAA First Team and CAA All-Rookie Team honors.
Merrigan, a left-handed hitting center fielder, had the most productive freshman season in Georgia State history with a .353 average, 36 runs batted in and 52 runs scored. He was also selected as second-team All-CAA and to the CAA All-Rookie team.
Grey finished the year with 12 top 25 finishes in 13 events, including three wins and three other top 10 finishes. In addition, he was named to the Freshman All-America team, the first Panther to earn top freshman honors.

dash cluster problems!
Alrighty, well ive had this problem since i got the vehicle. The different gauges and needles on the dash dont seem to work properly. First of all, the RPM gauge always stays at around 350-400 no matter how fast the engine is really moving. It never moves what so ever. The Speedometer does not reflect smooth acceleration. When i go from 50-70 for example. It will go smoothly up to 55, stop, then jump up to 70 when i get there. Also, a new thing thats been happening is perhaps 1 in 20 times i start the car, the gas gauge stays below empty and the light goes on, if I drive it for a while it gradually goes up to where it is supposed to be. Also, if i turn it off and restart it, many times it will also go up to where its supposed to be. Thanks dudes !
Wow thats interesting.. (in a sad way) I'm guessing some bad resistors inside the cluster? If you have a buddy with a same wrangler as yours id swap clusters to see if its any different.. i've NEVER seen or heard of such problems :S Usually its the rpm thats dead (bad ground) or speedo thats off (maybe gear) but thats it..
Yank your instrument panel out and make sure the connector on the back is getting real good connection and go from there. Swaping clusters is also a good idea.
Mines a 2000. If i swap clusters, doesnt that take my mileage away also? All im looking to do is fix the RPM. i dont much care about the gas
ive got a 97 and my gas guage does the same thing. been doing it for about a year now.

200 Marines deployed to Guatemala to track Zetas Cartel.
Well, I figured it would be another force besides the SEAL's so at least I got that right.
Very troubling if true. The last thing we need is another military front, even if it's a small force.
I get that the cartels are a big deal for national security, but to me it would make more sense to urge Mexican/Central American forces to crack down more. Provide them support and assistance.
I don't know. I don't like the fact that O'Bama seems ok with spreading the military very thin.

Dr. Rapoport was born in Lozavaya, Russia on May 22, 1911. He came to the United States in 1922 and became a naturalized citizen in 1928. He received his BS in 1938, his MS in 1940, and his PhD in 1941, all from the University of Chicago. He received an honarary LHD degree from the University of Western Michigan in 1971. Dr. Rapoport was a Ford Foundation fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study of Behavioral Science during 1954 and 1955.
His extensive professional experience includes being a math instructor at Illinois Institute of Technology during 1946-1947, a research associate in math and biology, and an assistant professor, at the University of Chicago during 1947-1954. He was an associate professor during 1955-1960, and professor and senior research mathematician from 1960-1968, both at the Mental Health Research Institute, University of Michigan. During 1968 and 1969 he was a professor of applied math at the Technical University of Denmark, after which he returned to the Mental Health Research Institute as a professor of math and biology from 1969 to 1970. His current position (as of 1974) is that of professor of psychology and math at the University of Toronto, with a concurrent position as a consultant at the Mental Health Research Institute.
Memberships in various organizations include the American Math Society, the Mathematical Association of America, a charter member of the Biometric Society, the International Society for General Semantics, of which he was president from 1953 to 1955, the Society for General Systems Research, for which he was vice-president from 1963 to 1965 and president from 1965 to 1966, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the Canadian Peace Research and Education Association, of which he was president from 1971 to 1972.
In addition to his eleven books and over 300 articles (again, as of 1974), Professor Rapoport was the editor of "General Systems", the associate editor of the "Review of General Semantics" and the "Bulletin of Math Biophysics." A selective list of his books and articles is contained in the Bibliography. His style of writing, considering his background in semantics, is highly readable and interesting. His book Strategy and Conscience has been compared to Jonathan Swift's Modest Proposal, "written as a protest against a glib and shallow fashion of contemporary thought that embodies and enhances manes inhumanity to man." It is also significant that the cover picture on his most recent book, Conflict in Man-made Environment is the famous (or infamous) Kent State picture of grief on the face of a girl witnessing the shooting death of her friends. Moral conflict is one of Dr. Rapoport's most important topics. His later books have included discussions of game theory in conflict resolutions on both an individual and international basis.
Professor Rapoport has worked closely with Dr. S. I. Hayakawa, and Dr. Hayakawa's comments on one of Dr. Rapoport's early articles is a significant statement about the power of Rapoport's writing. Hayakawa was the editor of the first issue of the Society for General Semantics' quarterly newsletter, "ETC: A Review of General Semantics." As Dr. Hayakawa says,
"It was a pleasant surprise, therefore when in November of 1943 I received by military airmail from Alaska, from a writer then unknown to me, a paper for publication in 'ETC.' which was so clearly a valuable contribution to semantic literature that its acceptance was a foregone conclusion before half the manuscript had been read. This paper, 'Newtonian Physics and Aviation Cadets,' published in 'ETC.' in the Spring 1944 issue (Vol. I, pp. 154-164), dealt with the unconscious assumptions underlying the thought habits of aviation cadets to whom the author had earlier taught physics. It was an exceedingly clear analysis of the way in which primitive and even animistic notions embedded in everyday language prevent the comprehension of physical laws; as such it constituted important substantiation of some of Korzybski's theories concerning the effect of language structure upon thought and behavior."In Addition to Dr. Hayakawa, the prime mentor in Dr. Rapoport's career appears to be Dr. Nicolas Rashevsky, of the University of Chicago. Rashevsky is mentioned frequently in many of Dr. Rapoport's books, and several have been dedicated to Rashevsky: Also frequently mentioned in Dr. Rapoport's writings as influences include Bertrand Russell, Alfred Korzybski, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Alfred Jules Ayer, Lewis Richardson, Carl R. Rogers, Kenneth Boulding, and Jonathan Swift. In the prefaces to his books, Dr. Rapoport noted Hayakawa, Rashevsky, Charles Morris, Russell Meyer, Wendell Johnson, Irving J. Lee, J. David Singer, Karl W. Deutsch, Robert M Thrall, and William F. Lucas as influences on his works. The only time he listed any of his students was in Prisoner's Dilemma, which he co-authored with Albert M. Chammah. The list of fourteen students did not contain any names that have since become famous in this field.
In addition to his scientific expertise, Dr. Rapoport is an accomplished pianist. After attending public schools in revolutionary Russia and Chicago, he attended the State Academy of Music in Vienna, where he received degrees in composition, piano, and conducting. He was a touring concert pianist in Europe, the United States, and Mexico during 1933 to 1937. As soon as he received his PhD in mathematics on the eve of Pearl Harbor, he went directly from his graduation to Maxwell Field. He became a Captain in the US Air Corps, engaged in liason work between the American and Russian Air Forces. He served in Alaska and India. He was married on January 29, 1949 to the former Gwen Goodrich and they have three children, Anya, Alexander, and Charles Anthony. His current address (again, finally, as of 1974) is the Department of Psychology, University of Toronto, 100 St. George Sto, Toronto 181, Ontario, Canada.

Comment - Wine - The Perils of Scaling The Chinese Wall
By Chris Losh | 7 March 2013
The wine world is looking east for the next big market. China has caught everyone's eye, thanks to some mind-blowing numbers of late. But, scratch the surface and, Chris Losh warns, there are still many rivers to cross to get to the promised land.
At a recent briefing on the state of the global wine market, given by the Vinexpo team, one country stood out: China. It is already the fourth biggest importer of wine in the world, the fifth biggest consumer and, by 2016, it is expected to overtake the likes of Chile and Australia to become the sixth biggest producer as well.
How's this for a statistic, then: An estimated 200m Chinese consumers are exposed to wine on a regular basis.
At a time when traditional mature markets – particularly in Europe – are showing all the energy of a morphine-addled sloth, it's understandable that the wine world, which has been short of good news, should look to a country that has seen its consumption triple over the last five years.
Even within the BRIC quartet, China's figures are impressive, with the International Wine and Spirit Record (IWSR) putting the country's total consumption at 155m cases – way more than Brazil, Russia and India combined.
So, surely that makes China the engine for global wine growth?
Well, possibly. But the figures don't quite tell the whole story.
For starters, the vast majority of China's 155m-case consumption comprises domestically-produced wine. The IWSR reckons that, in 2011, only 27m cases were imported. And, while this is an enormous increase (500%) on five years previously, growth over the next five years is predicted to be around 60%.
Given that consumption in half of the world's top-ten consuming countries (France, Italy, the UK, Argentina, Spain) is expected to fall over the same period, a double-digit increase in a big-volume market is heartening. But, producers need to approach with caution.
The fact that growth dipped below 8% in 2012 for the first time in several years might not exactly be a cause for the rending of garments or the gnashing of teeth. But, the ticking demographic time bomb caused by China's 30-year, one-child policy could be.
The country has a hugely unbalanced population that will see a shrinking number of young people looking after a large number of retirees as the century progresses.
Feng Wang, a senior fellow in foreign policy, global economy and development at the Brookings-Tsinghua Centre, estimates that the country will have 360m people over the age of 60 by 2030. "It will," he says, "be the first country to grow old before it grows rich." The impact of such a scenario on disposable incomes is obvious.
And yet, for all the caveats, China's pull is irresistible.
While much has been made of the news that China's wealthy investors are starting to dominate the fine wine scene, there is clearly a growing middle class for whom affordable wine (not just premier cru Bordeaux) is a status symbol.
The domestically-produced wine market has (as you would expect) developed its base at the sub-CNY50 level (US$8), suggesting a broad base of interest.
"The domestically produced wine is absolutely not a threat to importers," says Antinori's Asia Pacific export manager, Jacopo Pandolfini. "It helps to develop the wine knowledge and wine culture."
In other words, Dragon Seal and the like lay the foundations, allowing traditional producers to steam in behind them, to a receptive, broad-based market.
"Price is the first target for most Chinese importers," agrees Florian Blereau of Grands Chais de France. "They look for low prices to attack their respective markets with huge volumes, and to target the middle and upper-middle class, which represents 20% of the population."
Getting products into the market - at least, with the right people - is tough, however. There are only five importers who bring in over half a million cases, and there has been an awful lot of bandwagon-jumping by non-specialist importers, desperate to get a slice of the action.
"Importers are certainly very good at talking up what they can deliver," says Warren Adamson of New Zealand winery Craggy Range. "We usually halve what they promise, but even then the figures are still worth exploring."
The problem is that, with minimal influence from the supermarkets, and a retailing economy built almost entirely on small, local businesses, national distribution is all but impossible. And, in a country the size of China, the scale of the task is daunting. The local Great Wall brand was estimated by one wine producer to work with around 3,000 active wholesalers nationwide.
All of which might explain why the companies turning in big numbers in China have often done it, not by brand-building, but by supplying dozens of different exclusive labels to myriad importers all over the country.
The short-term profitability of this strategy is evident but, given the debatable level of commitment to the products of many of these importers operating on the 'invisible market', it's also not without risk. And, most wine companies prefer to work with a single importer who is sympathetic to their brand's ideals.
Since the concept of 'guanxi' (essentially meaning respect and mutual favour-giving) is still central to business relationships, success is rarely instantaneous, and wineries must be patient and sympathetic to cultural differences.
"It's by understanding the culture of French wine, and promoting it around their own guanxi that our best customers truly met success in China," says GCF's Blereau.
The Spanish winery Torres has been carefully laying foundations since setting up its own import company 15 years ago, and believes it is well-placed to cash in on the boom in consumer engagement.
"China is still French-dominated," says GM Miguel Torres Maczassek. "But, it's changing fast. The amount people know about wine is growing at an incredible pace, and the level of knowledge is impressive."
It's this, rather than some of the more optimistic numbers being thrown around, that seems to be China's main attraction; an opportunity to sell wines at between $8 and $20 to a consumer base that wants to understand them and spend money, rather than simply hop from promotion to promotion.
"China is still a small market overall, and it's hard to be too precise," muses Concha y Toro's corporate director for Asia, Cristian Lopez. "But, I don't think anyone would say I was crazy if I suggested it could be as big [for importers] as the UK by 2020."

Companies: Vinexpo, Concha y Toro
just the Answer - Vinexpo chairman Xavier de Eizaguirre

I believe that goes in both directions, both bad and good. They have gotten a little better at making more worthwhile titles that are beyond their 2nd iteration. If people wants more titles of a series, I'm not gonna knock the company for doing so. I just hope they put at least a decent effort into it.

N64 had its good games but it also had some serious crap. I personally find the SNES days the most enjoyable.
Nintendo is a good example but they are just one of many, many companies that will never let series die. It is hard to find good original titles anymore as many of the big releases are just new versions of a title you are already familiar with.
I hope to get enough Wii U's to sell and make mine free and maybe some as gifts. Nothing like satisfying the impulsive.

Boxing Result
Berg shocks WBO #3 Zegan
In a light welterweight bout, unbeaten but unheralded newcomer Boris Berg (4-0, 2 KOs) won a shocking six round decision over reigning WBO European champion and world rated #3 Matt Zegan (42-6-1, 21 KOs) on Sunday evening at the "Altes Funkwerk" in Berlin, Germany. Against all odds, the 34-year-old Berg impressed with offensive boxing and brought pressure to bear on Zegan from the first round. Berg's variety was excellent, and his punches to the head and to the body looked precise and powerful as the former WBO lightweight challenger Zegan never found his way into the match. The card was promoted by IFKO Box Promotion.

Are you gellin', Shakur?
You fruits will have to forgive me for not going in re: Shakur back when she was blogging for this site.
As I explained on my own site the other day, there's was a period of about three weeks last summer when I just wasn't able to check the Internets as often. I was in and out of town, going to a family reunion, and Lollapalooza. It used to be the case that, when I went out of town, I'd drag my laptop with me and have to hole up somewhere with free wifi for hours on end, working on posts for this site and my own site. That's was back before my writing skills were as strong as they are now. These days, I'll pull something out of my ass in 30 minutes flat and be done with it. No fishsticks. I don't care if it is a slow news day. Paging through Google Reader and reading other people's blogs is another story. It's hard enough doing that at home, where my free time is limited only by a fat man's need for rest, and the occasional shift at the BGM.
Then there was the fact that the name Shakur, which, from what I understand, is her given name (her Christian name, so to speak), sounds kinda African, thus leading me to believe that she might be one of these women who didn't have any business appearing in XXL's Eye Candy section. You know how the quality of women there tends to vary wildly. And don't even get me started on the women who appear in this site's occasional Web Candy feature, who must just be women who blew someone who works for XXL. If XXL needs me to recommend some women, I'll do it. For a small fee, natch. I'm pretty sure Kanye West has discovered the hoo-ers from his last several videos just by reading my blog. I might even do it for free, for my own personal amusement. Isn't that what blogging is all about?
When I mentioned the other day that the name Shakur threw me off, some broad on Twitter tried to give me shit, probably pissed that I wouldn't want to have sex with her. Girls are always upset to find out I don't like them, regardless of whether or not they like me. You should see the fallout from my list, the other day, of the 10 most beautiful women in the world. I'll admit, I was wrong about Shakur. I stumbled upon a picture of her over at Sandra Rose, and I was taken aback. I later found out that it was one of the pictures from the time she was in XXL, with the watermark removed, leading me to somewhat regret not signing up for the free subscription I was offered. When the late, great Jackpot hit me up, wanting to know my address, I thought it might have been a matter of Trick Trick or somebody trying to find out where I live, like he did Ron Mexico.
Sandra Rose, of course, can't stand Shakur. She posted an email someone (a bored hoodrat, I'm sure) sent her, talking about how Shakur's nose, cans and ass are fake, and how she got cast in the "Best I Ever Had" video the old fashioned way, i.e. by letting Drake and Kanye hit it. If the latter is true, I'm so jealous. As far as the former, it's hard to say. More and more often Sandra Rose is claiming these hoo-ers have fake asses. The other day, for example, there was a controversy over whether or not Nicki Minaj wears "butt pads." I'd just assume she was kind of an all around plumper. Or thick, to use the preferred euphemism. But I guess someone turned up a picture where her ass almost looks like a white chick's ass. Er, a white chick's ass in 2009.
Then there's my boo Ashley Logan. Word on the street is that she had some kind of gel pumped into her ass, and that's also what they're saying about Shakur. I could kinda believe it, when it comes to Ashley Logan. Her ass is so ridonkulously big, and not particularly well-shapen. If there was such a technology that involved pumping gel into a woman's ass (no Boutros), that's about what I'd expect the result to look like. Which is not to say that I wouldn't try to talk any women I get with into having a little gel pumped into her ass. Especially since a woman I get with might not be naturally built like a brick shithouse. If this ass gel procedure really exists, the result is way more naturalistic than breast implants – this despite the fact that breast implants have been around since like the '60s.
And as it turns out, this supposed ass gel is not the only thing Shakur and Ashley Logan have in common. You'll recall that, a while back, I received a series of emails from someone, who supposedly dated Ashley Logan, back when she was just some ghetto strippers. Or rather, a few years ago. In one of them. he claimed that she gave him herpes. This ultimately led to a segment on Kay Slay's show on Sirius satellite radio, and a popular video on World Star Hip Hop, in which Ashley Logan ethered. If I never end up doing anything other than talking shit about rap music on the Internets, it will almost certainly end up being one of my life's crowning achievement. But it wasn't the last time someone would email me claiming they caught VD from one of these video hoes. Just this morning (at 5:30 in the morning, actually), I got a guy claiming he got genital warts from Shakur.
If only I'd had to the time to blog about Shakur, and thus set this chain of events in motion, this summer. Maybe I could have found out about her health issues in time to have her respond to it on this site. With my reach as a popular hip-hop blogger (nhjic), and just based on the law of averages, I could probably do a post any number of these video hoes, and guys emailing me talking about how they gave them some sort of VD. On a long enough timeline, I suppose I probably will.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Been riding the Auto's for years. 15-30 seconds to strap into traditional bindings? Maybe if it's your first time ever snowboarding you're sitting on the ground this might be true...
It takes me about 8-10 seconds tops...and the last 3-4 seconds of that I'm already moving, just a couple of last second "clicks"
I would love to get a new pair of Autos but I'm not feelin those cheap looking rubber band toe straps. I like the wider leather pad that was on my 08's and now my 09s.
I get in my Flows faster than I could with Fastech, and the strap wasn't movable and caused a pressure point on top of my foot. Toe strap reuired manual placement everytime I got in...
|Same here. Second season on the CTXs. I saw those GNU around..love the easy release ratchet. I can do the same popping my regular one. And now it's finally SNOWING!
I reviewed all my options for rear-entry bindings this season and I ended up buying the GNU Choice. I've spent half a season using them now and I love them. Essentially you have the easy entry of the K2/Flow and you also have the comfort and stability of a 2-strap design. Plus the lift hill tension release on the back strap is just brilliant. I have no problems getting into the bindings unless I'm on a really steep slope, and then I just have to face up the hill, dig my toe edge in a little bit and then lean up the gradient while I put my boot in and tighten up the bindings. I can't speak to using them in deep powder, since I'm in the midwest and it's all groomed hardpack.
These have a fixed toe cap instead of a ratchet, but I don't find it to be a problem at all. In fact I actually like them better than the toe caps on my previous Burton Customs because the Customs always slid up like crazy, even with the ratchet. The back strap has a ratchet but I never have to use it because it's a "set and forget" design. I get it to the tension I want while closed and then I don't have to touch it the rest of the season. Getting your boot out is even easier because when you pull down the highback it automatically pops the rear strap loose so you have plenty of room to slide out. These bindings are also fairly light and adjustable and when I'm riding they feel comfortable with no pressure points and just the right amount of flex.
I can't speak to the long term durability but after half a season they're still working like new. I definitely recommend them over the K2 and the current flows. When Flow comes out with their new model that has the same(ish) features as the Gnu and two strap design, I'll probably go with Flow just for the durability and reputation. But for now these bindings are awesome.
k2 cinch cable slipping

Did you figure out any way to fix this?
This is a big issue for me as it defeats the purpose of a convenience binding.
also the cable gets jammed making the rear leaver impossible to operate.
Did you end up replacing with the K2 auto evers? how do these compare?
|i had the 2009 cinches and i hated them. i mean i loved how fast they were, it really was awesome. but the just kept coming undone as i was riding, and after a while i just couldnt get my foot in and then snap it. idk bout the 2011
|I love my Cinches. 1) I'm old I don't want to put my ass on the snow. 2)My kids will not wait for me. 3)I had no problem getting them on in powder. 4)I had no problems with the first year I boarded with them.

I got mine at SportChalet during a summer deal, 50% off. $150 for the 09/10 CTX. Love them so far. K2 hardware (screws and washers) kinda sucks, but I took the bindings off every time after riding, to wax the board. Other than that I love those bindings. Being able to use both function is great on the lift to release a bit of the pressure on your boot, and if you need to unstrap after you got stuck in the deep.
The GNU ones were great too...with an additional buckle to loosen up the binding for the lift ride. But I could not find them.
I tried the K2 Cinch a couple of years back, but they were the bottom-of-the-line model. I commented at the time that the design concept was great but the implementation sucked. I really need to try the higher-end stuff. I also want to try some Contrabands. I'm a gear whore. I admit it.
I have Flows on both boards right now. I love Flows, especially when coming off the lift. But they do bite when trying to strap in in deep powder. Actually even when trying to UNstrap in deep pow.

I think Tate is a better WR than Rice right now. Just wanted to see your guys opinion on the matter.

I personally like Tate's playing style better than Rice. I think Rice is the better reciever though. He get's more seperation and can get open a lot more frequently than Tate. Tate has the snag ability though which is what I really like. I hope he improves his route running this year.

I think Rice's route running is a bit overrated. Both our receivers have this weakness though, IMO.
What I really like is Tate's ability to get open when Wilson starts scrambling. How many times has Wilson thrown the ball to Tate when he's started scrambling? One example off the top of my head is week 17, 3rd down against the Rams, on our side of the field, if we don't convert we don't have a great shot at winning. Wilson escapes a Laurinaitis sack, and then throws to Tate, who breaks like 3 tackles for 40 yards. Not too mention I like his clutch factor too

Rice is the better receiver imo. Even with Tate being great at high pointing the ball, he still can't compete with Rice in that regard. Rice has also mastered the sideline catch. He's not as good as Tate at breaking off his routes, but he's still good at it.
Tate may have a statistically better year, but Rice is key to making everything flow.

It's hard for me to say, they're two very different receivers. Rice is a tall, slower (not slow, just slower than Tate) possession receiver, while Tate is a shorter, nimble receiver who's great after the catch. Just too hard for me to call one way or the other.
Here a video of all the Tate plays from this year. It's a fun watch.

Rice is the better receiver. He's bigger which allows him to play outside a little more naturally. But dollar for dollar Is rather have Tate.
Something like 11 Mill cap hit for Rice vs 1 Mill for Tate.

I would take Tate 10 times out of 10. The only thing Rice has on him is size, and Tate plays way bigger than his 510 frame, where I would say Rice plays smaller than his 64 frame would suggest.
I dont see one area that Rice outplays Tate substantially, but I a lot better YAC and a better deep threat in Tate.

I feel a lot better about harper filling in for a guy like tate than a player like Rice. Sidney is the leader of the pass catchers. He's the guy defenses key in on. He makes the tough catches when we need him and always puts himself on the line. I love tate, no ifs ands or buts. He's the more entertaining and explosive player, as well as our best deep threat. When it comes down to it though, what this offense needs most is that intermediate passing game. That's where the money is for us. When things break down, when russell escapes the pocket on third and long, it's rice who's been most reliable between the two. Golden still struggles with the basic routes, still gets lost on extended plays and outside of his abilities deep, doesn't do much that Percy Harvin can't. This is a much harder choice for me if we don't trade for #11
Obviously, I'm taking the value-to-our-offense approach and choosing Rice.

Rice is comfortably better than Golden. Although he has improved, Tate's routes are still pretty average. Sidney is the one who deals with the #1 corner and he still makes plays.
Echoing what imani said, I think that Percy has made Tate replaceable. They are too similar to each other. If Chris Harper pans out, he will become the #2 and also compliment the offense more.
Golden Tate would really disappear if he was getting the attention of the best corner on every play.

For me it is Rice and it really isn't even that close to me. If Tate didn't have a good year last year I would have said it was time to think about moving on, or keeping him as a 4th or 5th string guy. That being said he really impressed me last year. I hope he continues his up swing. Rice I feel has a much bigger upside and if he could stay healthy I would think he is far above Tate.

Rice. He relies more on good QB play then a lot of the better WR's, but his ability to catch the football even perfectly covered is amazing. His vertical used to be through the roof, and I doubt that's diminished.
Tate is pretty fun to watch, and Percy Harvin is way better than most of us Vikings fans would have you believe. It's gonna be fun to watch next season!

Thats why I keep one hand on my weapon, and one on my gun,and usually just handle my business later.
This is a discussion on The Official "Restroom Thread" within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; old thread new story Man Robbed At Gunpoint In Mall Restroom - Jacksonville News Story - WJXT Jacksonville...
Thats why I keep one hand on my weapon, and one on my gun,and usually just handle my business later.
...and that is EXACTLY why I stopped using urinals.
"Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws." -Plato
In St. Johns county, a man carrying his wife's Looie Vee wallet (valued at $1k, but purchased at the Premium Outlet Mall for $25) visibly in a side pocket, was robbed in the loo.
The wallet was apparently made visible to either the robber or his accomplice sometime during the shopping spree.
The robbers, cunning men that they were, determined that:
"If she give da wallet to him to perteck, then it must have sumpin' in it... they mus' be rich, it's a LOOIE VEE wallet, man! Look! he goin' in the can, les' hep ourselves."
conspicuous consumption causes creative crime to be carried out by crafty criminals.
The wealthy generally don't carry a lot of cash... they got all manner of plastic to pay fer stuff. Plastic can be canceled in minutes, as was the case here. The wealthy don't shop at outlet malls either... They get their stuff DE-livered.
This is a stupid people in stupid places, doing stupid things, crime of opportunity; perpetrated by stupid thugs.
When you gotta go, you gotta go. Do what you gotta do, you wanna use a stall, go ahead.
There were 2 robbers, if the guy went into a stall, they'd have waited him out or tag-teamed him anyway. Armed, he might have had a chance, in a stall, or out.
It could be worse!
I suppose
I always use a stall, and sit down like a girl... oh wait a minute....
and for the record, I don't just let my pants drop onto the floor... that's gross.
I would be especially defenseless because I pull my pants all the way down to my ankles when I use a urinal.
A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them..."

3 speed maual with auto overdrive
Can anyone tell me about the 3 speed maual with automatic overdrive that GM used in the late 50s and 60's ? What is it and how durable?
I do believe there are setups like that with either the 700R4/4L60E or the 4L80E where you can manually upshift or downshift into any gear but when you place it into 4th gear/Overdrive it acts like an automatic. Is that basically what you are talking about?
An old timer I talked to said he ran a built 283 with a three speed with overdrive and 4.11 gears in his 56 chev years ago and it was an excellent combination. The engine and transmission was out of a 62 Impala wagon, the overdrive was actuated by a pull lever under the dash I think? Should be as durable as most manual three speeds I would think.
I owned a 68 Impala with a 307 backed by a factory 3 speed manual with overdrive. The basic transmission was just a standard 3 speed, Saginaw IIRC. Attached to the back was a planetary gear box which provided the overdrive. The lever under the dash was the lock-out to prevent the OD from engaging. The overdrive had was engaged by an electrically controlled solenoid. There was a speed sensor which tripped a relay which provided power to the solenoid. Slightly lifting of the accelerator would allow the pawl to drop in and lock the planetary set into OD. There was also "passing gear". There was a switch on the throttle linkage which cut the ignition and disconnected the solenoid. You had to have a drop in power application in order for the pawl to drop out. Once dropped, there was another switch which reconnected the ignition. Pretty ingenious use of electro-mechanical equipment. I vaguely remember a Car Craft or HotRod article where they took one off a 3 speed and put it on a Saginaw 4 speed. They were pretty robust, but the Saginaw was no Muncie. It will probably live behind a mild to medium 350. I wouldn't thrash it too much. Assuming you can find one and have your heart set on a manual tranny, it would be a good choice. But the modern 4 speed autos are probably a better choice, IMHO.
If I remember correctly from Chevy-by-the-Numbers, the overdrive was produced for the lower hp cars like the 283. That would lead one to believe it was not particularly strong.
thanks !
I knew some one out there knew more about that tranny than I do. I have one I got from my GrandPa ,he said it worked great in his station wagon. I just thought it was nostalgic. My Brother has a 29 Model A with a 57 283 manual three speed and he found a trans like this also and wanted to know how to wire it up ,sound like it may take some experimenting,unless you kow of a wireing scamatic somewhere? It should work great for him as he has a 49 merc rear with 4:27 gears.
The overdrive had a safety issue. It was free wheeling when you let off the gas.

Search the site for "Borg Warner Overdrive" or "Borg Warner OD". I wrote some pretty extensive posts about a year ago. It definitely needs to be wired correctly, and the proper kick-down switch is a must! There's a contact in the solenoid on the side of the OD (looks like a heater fan motor) that grounds the ignition out when the OD unit is dropping out of gear. THIS IS A MUST for longevity! If you have EFI you can rig a relay to cut the power to the ignition module instead. The solenoid contacts complete a ground. I did that and ran one behind a 4.0L Jeep six for a while. The OD held up fine, the little T-96 three speed in front of it didn't! The OD units were run behind 352 and 390 Ford FE V-8s -- they are strong enough. The way it shifts into Od you can easily gently shift. If you're racing you want to lock the OD unit out.
The OD unit DOES freewheel when rear wheel speed is greater than engine speed -- no engine braking going down a hill. It's not dangerous unless you can't follow instructions or don't read them. All owners manuals of cars with the old OD units clearly state that when towing or travelling in hilly terrain where engine braking is needed you should lock the OD out. Can't have everything! If OD is locked out you can un-lock it on the move. It can be locked on the move, but must not be in OD when you try to lock it.
I'm not quite old enough to have bought cars with the B-W OD, but I've owned a couple Ramblers with them and helped a lot of Rambler owners get theirs fixed. It's not to hard -- most of the time the problem is simply burned or dirty contacts in the solenoid, governor, or relay. Some late 60s systems don't even use a relay. There's a manul on www.tocmp.com, but it shows the more complicated wiring used in the 50s. Look at the Rambler wiring diagrams on the same site from 58-69 for a better idea of how the things were wired.
Since questions come up about wiring the old Borg-Warner OD units, I uploaded a wiring diagram to my photo album, and also attached one below. This is the most common wiring method, very simple and easy to understand. The wiring is shown ready to engage OD as soon as the contacts in the governor close and energize the relay. A toggle switch can be wired in the power line to the relay or between the governor and relay, but DO NOT use that to disengage the OD, not unless you plan on using the clutch to disengage. It will drop out when the power is cut, but it's hard on the planetary gears and they will fail after 20-50 cycles.
Note that you don't need a special relay -- a standard 30A automotive relay works fine (such as for driving/fog lights). This diagram shows a single terminal governor. Two terminal governors work the same way, just ground one of the terminals.
If you install a manual kick-down switch that can be pressed and immediately released (like on the dash, or in the floor) a momentary contact switch can be used if you can find a double pole type (one normally closed or NC set, one NO set of contacts). Just press all the way then release as soon as you fell it "kick" out of OD -- the engine will be dead for as long as the switch is held (coil grounded out, or power dropped top a relay if you wire a relay to the ignition module or coil power wire). If you want to use an "automatic" switch on the linkage you must use the original OD switch, or any switch that will "ratchet" or "pop" back to the open position as soon as it bottoms out/males contact with the normally open set of contacts. Otherwise you kill the engine when you have your foot on the floor.
A common problem with these units is burned contacts. The relay can be replaced, or pry the case open and clean the terminals. The solenoid has two sets -- one shown open and one shown closed. When the two screws on the back or the solenoid are removed the contacts are exposed and can be cleaned. The same with the governor -- remove the top and clean the contacts. The contact points are identical to old ignition points -- just file or sand to clean and make sure they are square to each other.
The solenoid is easily tested for operation. Set it on the negative battery post (or ground the body) and touch a hot wire to one of the two terminals. Only one will operate the solenoid, the other is the coil ground wire. The heavy blue wire in the diagram operates the solenoid. Even though it operates and all contacts are clean OD may still not engage. I've had solenoids operate but not have enough strength to push the engagin pawl in. Have a friend put some pressure on the solenoid plunger when you put power to it. If it's easy to hold in it's to weak. Some auto electric shops (alternator/starter rebuilders -- if you can still find one) can rebuild the solenoids or be able to send them in for rebuilding.

It was most likely a Borg-Warner R-10, or R-11 overdrive unit. These were very common on cars from the late 40s to mid 50s, and was still available on some cars as an option in the 60s. It was most used on 6 cylinder and low hp 8 cylinders. What it did was to give you a step down of about 30%. If 3rd gears was 1 to 1, then in od mode it would be .70 to 1. As many cars of the era mostly had 4:11 or lower (4:30, 4:88 etc) it allowed the car to travel at higher speeds without a high rpm. They work very good. I have two old cars with the o.d. and it is a dream to drive them. If you are in second or third gear o.d. and you need quick acceleration there is a kick-down switch that is activated when you kick the pedel to the floor in shifts out of od into the regular gear. Once you let off on the gas it kicks back into od. This is probably why some think of it as a manual automatic overdrive. Parts are around but getting harder to find. It would not be a good set-up for anything that has high torque or high hp. It simply isn't strong enough to handle it without breaking.
You don't need bubba types of set-ups to kick it in and out of o.d. The units as they originally came in the cars had everything necessary to do all the functions. It was when they stopped working that people made up jury-rigged systems to get around some of the relays, solonoids, etc.
redsdad is correct -- the OD kick-down switch is the key though. As soon as the NO contacts are closed the switch automatically "ratchets" or "snaps" back open, so the grounding is only momentary. Without the special switch you have to be careful. Everything EXCEPT that switch is easily replaced or repaired. I've opened up an original switch and cleaned the contacts, bringing it back to life. Be very careful if you do this! There are springs and catches in there that must go back the way they came out, and they are under pressure. If something pops out make sure you can find it and know where it goes back!!
It's a good idea to wire in some extra relays so that the relays power everything and the switches/contacts just trigger the relays. That will prevent burnt/worn contacts.
