Srt8 Wheels on WJ
I have searched the forum and found a few other posts on this, but I didnt run across any final answers.
My jeep is an 03 limited 4x4, totally stock.
I would like to get SRT-8 replica wheels (20x9 & 20x10), I believe these will bolt up just fine?
If they will, which tire size(s) would you all go with?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Re: Srt8 Wheels on WJ
I just have 20x9's and I have 275/45's on there. I had a lot of rubbing but I think it was because my shocks were sagging. Everyone else with WJ's have no problem with this size with the Limited bumper...
Re: Srt8 Wheels on WJ
Yeah, I've heard from TJXJWJ that 20x9's are the way to go. I'm sure he can do a wonderful job helping you out.
Re: Srt8 Wheels on WJ
20x9's only...unless you wanna do spacers on the rears
Re: Srt8 Wheels on WJ
Thanks for the replies. I'll just stick with the 20x9s to not have to deal with spacers.
Would it be possible to to do 255/45 in front, and something a little wider in back, maybe 275/45, or would it not fit the wheel correctly?
and Scott, could you tell me what size tires you have? i like the look of them.
Re: Srt8 Wheels on WJ
So 20x9s is the consent but what backspace?
Re: Srt8 Wheels on WJ
Re: Srt8 Wheels on WJ
I run 275/45's on all four corners and it is fine in the rear for sure. Most don't have to do any trimming. I think just getting 275/45's all around would be your best bet and that is what most WJ guys do around here.
Re: Srt8 Wheels on WJ
Thanks for all the help. I think I'll go with the 20x9's with 275/45.
Now it's time to price the tires out
Re: Srt8 Wheels on WJ
I have 255-45 and 285-40
Re: Srt8 Wheels on WJ
255-45 would be my suggestion...keeps your speedo working correctly too. The 255 with the 20" wheel gives you the same overall diameter as stock.
Re: Srt8 Wheels on WJ
I run 275/45/20 on mine and have rubbing issues when I turn near full lock. Only because I am missing a few clips on the splash guard in the wheel wells.
My speedo is now dead-on. Ie. 60 is 60 going by GPS readings.

Super Series chairman of selectors Sunil Gavaskar said that the selectors were fortunate to have strong players waiting in the wings.

John Stephen Piper (born January 11, 1946) is an American Calvinist Baptist pastor and author who is the founder and leader of desiringGod.org and is the chancellor of Bethlehem College & Seminary in Minneapolis, Minnesota. [1] Piper served as Pastor for Preaching and Vision of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota for 33 years.[2] His books include ECPA Christian Book Award winners Spectacular Sins,[3] What Jesus Demands from the World,[4] Pierced by the Word,[5] and God's Passion for His Glory,[6] and bestsellers Don't Waste Your Life[7] and The Passion of Jesus Christ.[8] The evangelical organization Desiring God is named for his book Desiring God: Meditations of a Christian Hedonist (1986).
Piper was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, to Bill and Ruth Piper. His father was a traveling evangelist and church planter. When he and his older sister were still young, the Pipers moved to Greenville, South Carolina, where he spent the remainder of his youth and graduated from Wade Hampton High School.
He married Noël Henry in 1968, and together they have four sons, a daughter, and twelve grandchildren.[9]
Piper attended Wheaton College (1964–68) majoring in literature and minoring in philosophy. Studying romantic literature with Clyde Kilby stimulated his poetic side,[10] and today he regularly composes poetry to celebrate special family occasions as well as annually composing story-poems (based on the life of biblical characters) for his congregation during the four weeks of Advent.[11]
In college, he was originally on the pre-med track, only to decide to go into ministry during a bout of sickness, while listening to the sermons of Dr. Harold John Ockenga over the radio, from his hospital bed.[12] He then completed a Master of Divinity degree at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California.[13] While at Fuller, he took several courses from Daniel Fuller and through him discovered the writings of Jonathan Edwards.[14] Along with C.S. Lewis,[15] Edwards[16] and Fuller[17] are noted influences in Piper's life and ministry.
Piper received his Doctor of Theology degree in New Testament Studies at the University of Munich, Germany (1971–74) under Leonhard Goppelt. His dissertation, Love Your Enemies, was published by Cambridge University Press and Baker Book House. Upon completion of his doctorate, he taught Biblical Studies at Bethel University and Seminary in Saint Paul, Minnesota, for six years (1974–80).[18]
His mother died in December 1974 in a bus wreck in Israel.[19] Piper's 1990 booklet What's the Difference? included a tribute to her.
On January 11, 2006, Piper announced that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. According to a letter sent to his church,[20] he and his doctors believed that the cancer was fully treatable. Piper responded to his diagnosis with the following:
This news has, of course, been good for me. The most dangerous thing in the world is the sin of self-reliance and the stupor of worldliness. The news of cancer has a wonderfully blasting effect on both. I thank God for that. The times with Christ in these days have been unusually sweet.
Piper underwent successful surgery on February 14, 2006.[21]
His father died on March 6, 2007.[22]
In 1980, Piper became Pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where he ministered until March 31, 2013. Piper hit the evangelical scene after the publication of his book Desiring God: Meditations of a Christian Hedonist (1986) and has continued to publish dozens of other books further articulating this theological perspective. In 1994, he founded Desiring God Ministries, with the aim of "spread[ing] a passion for the supremacy of God in all things for the joy of all peoples through Jesus Christ."[23] Desiring God Ministries offers all of Piper's sermons and articles from the past three decades—and most of his books—online free of charge, while also offering Piper-related media for sale, and regularly hosting conferences.
Piper took an eight-month leave of absence from his ministry from May 1, 2010 to January 9, 2011.[24][25][26]
He announced in June 2011 that he would soon step down from his role of pastor. A candidate to succeed him was announced in March 2012,[1] and on May 20, 2012 Jason Meyer was voted in (784 Yes to 8 No) to be the next Pastor for Preaching & Vision, replacing John Piper.
On March 31, 2013 (Easter Sunday), Piper preached his final sermon as pastor of Bethlehem Baptist[2] and announced in an open letter to the congregation that he and his family would be moving to Tennessee for at least a year so that the new leadership can develop a strategic vision for the church without distractions.[27]
In 2010, a Festschrift was published in his honor. For the Fame of God's Name: Essays in Honor of John Piper included contributions from Don Carson, Sinclair Ferguson, G. K. Beale, Thomas R. Schreiner, Wayne Grudem, Al Mohler, C. J. Mahaney, Mark Dever, John MacArthur, and Bill Mounce.
Theological views[edit]
Christian hedonism[edit]
Piper advocates Christian hedonism and teaches that "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him"[28] and that God's highest pursuit ("his glory") and man's deepest and most durable happiness come together in one pursuit—namely, the pursuit of joy in God.
Piper holds to a complementarian view of gender roles.[29] This view says that the Bible teaches that a husband is called to lovingly lead, protect and provide for his wife and family, and that the wife should joyfully and intelligently affirm and submit to her husband's leadership. He also says that the Bible teaches that men are to bear the primary responsibility to lead the church and that therefore only men should be elders.[30][31] Piper, along with Wayne Grudem, was co-editor of one of the books in this area, called Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood. One of the chapters has been reprinted several times as an independent short book called What's the Difference?.[32]
Piper's soteriology is Calvinist,[33] and his ecclesiology is Baptist.[34] He affirms the distinctively Calvinist doctrine of double predestination, which includes "unconditional reprobation" or damnation as a corollary to the Augustinian doctrine of unconditional election, and he subscribes to the Leibnizian view that God decreed this universe to be the best of all possible universes.[35]
Piper believes in justification by faith alone apart from any works,[36] and his teachings emphasize the need for the active and inevitable perseverance of the believer in faith, sanctification, and enduring sufferings, which he believes is evidence of God's saving grace. According to Piper, a once-professing Christian who does not faithfully persevere until the end demonstrates that he was mistaken about his election and was never a true believer in the first place.[37][38]
Historical Creationism[edit]
Piper espouses a brand of creationism known as "Historical Creationism", and credits John Sailhamer's book Genesis Unbound to explaining the view.[39][40] "Historical Creationism" states that God created the universe, planet Earth, and many creatures and things within Earth itself over the course of an indefinite time period before the first day of the week of Genesis 1, and that the days of the creation week were God changing a desolate piece of land into the blessed region of Eden, where God would bring Adam and Eve into existence and place them within it on the sixth day. "In verse 1, " Piper said, "'In the beginning he made the heavens and the earth,' he makes everything. And then you go day by day and he's preparing the land. He's not bringing new things into existence; he's preparing the land and causing things to grow and separating out water and earth. And then, when it's all set and prepared, he creates and puts man there." Piper acknowledged, however, that although it is his interpretation of the text, he is not dogmatic about the issue and that "every pastor should go ahead and say what he believes...I'm inclined to not draw that too narrowly."[41]
Regarding spiritual gifts, Piper is a continuationist.[42] That is, he believes that supernatural gifts such as prophecy, miracles, healings, and speaking in tongues have not ceased and should be sought by the church,[43] in particular with regard to missions and evangelism. He does believe, however, that the office of apostle has ceased[44] and that the gift of prophecy in the church is not the same as the inspiration of scripture.[45] While he believes that God's supernatural revelation in the New Testament gift of prophecy is without error, he says that today, outside the biblically recorded Word of God, the prophet's perception, understanding and delivery of that revelation is imperfect and fallible,[46] thus modern prophecies within the church are subject to sifting.[47]
Piper describes himself as a "optimistic premillennialist"[48] and holds a post-tribulation view of the second coming of Jesus and of the Rapture, which teaches that the Church will go through the Great Tribulation.[49][50] Because of this belief, he maintains that Romans 11 teaches that a mass in-gathering of ethnic Israel will be saved when the hardening of their hearts is removed at Jesus' second coming.[51] He therefore advocates the importance of hoping in the resurrection of the dead at Christ's return.[52]
Law and covenant[edit]
Piper does not don any of the typical hermeneutical frameworks, but claims he is furthest from dispensationalism, and closest to Covenant Theology, or a New Covenant Theology in matters of the Law and covenants, but agrees with the dispensationalist belief that there will be a millennium.[53] He says that the Law was meant by God to reveal sin and show man's inability to live up to God's righteous standards.[54] Christians, living under the New Covenant, are not under the Old Covenant law but able to fulfill its intent through faith in Jesus Christ.[55][56]
Piper teaches that God has only one covenant people, mostly believing Jews in the Old Testament, and now that people consists of all the followers of Christ, or the Church, whether Jew or Gentile.[57] Piper asserts that Israel has rights from God to dwell in that land, but not because they are merely Jewish, and Jews who reject Jesus as Messiah have no divine right of claim on those promises. Piper also believes that all Christians, Jew or Gentile, will inherit the earth, including the land of Israel, when Christ sets up the Millennial Kingdom in the Second Coming.[58]

Jesus chose Twelve Apostles for a unique, unrepeatable role in the history of redemption... there seem to be also another group (or groups) of men called and authorized by Jesus in the New Testament, some of whom are on a par with the Twelve in their teaching authority. Paul certainly believed that his call and commission by the risen Christ put him on a par with the Twelve in his teaching role....

God reveals something to the mind of the prophet (in some way beyond ordinary sense perception), and since God never makes a mistake, we know that his revelation is true. It has no error in it. But the gift of prophecy does not guarantee the infallible transmission of that revelation. The prophet may perceive the revelation imperfectly, he may understand it imperfectly, and he may deliver it imperfectly..
- ^ Piper, John, The Authority and Nature of the Gift of Prophecy (sermon), Desiring God,
We need a third category for the 'spiritual gift of prophecy'—Spirit-prompted, Spirit-sustained, revelation-rooted, but mixed with human imperfection and fallibility and therefore in need of sifting..

On the first day I came , the staff did not know English. She did not know that I booked before. I asked for P.O.S to pay through my credit card, but it was not working. They gave me 2 beds room instead of 4 beds room, which I booked. Taking a shower after this hustle was not easy, the water was cold. On the second day, I went back to the hostel to find that the woman working there changed my room and put my stuff on the floor and asked me to change the bulb. However, the location is perfect.

So far, this year's version of the Arizona Diamondbacks has been as scattered as Joaquin Phoenix on a promotional tour. The team started their first week hot by sweeping their division rival San Francisco Giants and stealing two of three from the Padres in San Diego.
Unfortunately, the D-Backs followed that start with an injury-plagued string of bad games that featured an embarrassing home series loss to the lowly Pittsburgh Pirates. With the NL West looking like the most competitive division in baseball, the boys in burnt sienna can ill-afford such inconsistency.
The Diamondbacks will have to get their play sorted out in a hurry for this week's home series against the defending champion St. Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals—even minus Albert Pujols—have not shown any signs of a World Series hangover.

Just seven years since his quarterbacking days at Alabama, Kitchens is back in the Southeastern Conference ranks, this time as a coach on the sidelines.
But being a coach wasn't a dream of Kitchens while growing up. However, being involved in football was part of his future.
"Actually, I never even thought about being a coach when growing up as a player," said Kitchens. "And I didn't get the urge to coach until my playing days were finished. I just knew I wanted football to still be a part of my life and I'm fortunate, again, to be here with (Sylvester) Croom and at Mississippi State."
A former Mr. Football in the state of Alabama, Kitchens is hoping to use personal relations to instruct his new group of players in Starkville.
"No doubt playing football (recently) helps me in coaching," admitted Kitchens. "My memories of playing football are still fresh on my mind. I understand what players go through, with classes and their personal lives. But they are still expected to perform on the field.
"(His age) really helps me to relate to the players. And the advantages are the little things, like enjoying the same movies. Football is a people business so you better like the players you're coaching and recruiting. The better you know you players, the better off you are on the field."
Before arriving at Mississippi State, Kitchens produced an impressive resume in the Sun Belt Conference with three-time conference champ North Texas.
After playing in three bowls as the Tide's starting quarterback, Kitchens also had the luxury of playing in three more bowls as a coach. And he plans to instill that winning attitude at Mississippi State.
"I was very fortunate to win three championships at North Texas," said Kitchens, who was a graduate assistant at LSU before his three-year stint at North Texas. "And with that, I know what it takes to win and knowing what to put in here at State."
But entering a program coming off a 2-10 season has produced some ups and downs. Kitchens is proud to be a member of Croom's first staff in Starkville, but has already encountered a few bumps in the road.
"I think as a staff, we are looking forward to the challenge and up-hill battles," said Kitchens. "And we've already had some. But in the long haul, this staff knows what is in front and in the big picture. It may take a little time, but we will get it done at State. It just depends on how quickly the players respond...respond to us and respond to themselves."
Kitchens' toughest situation to tackle surrounded his decision to leave North Texas and return to his former conference.
And no, it had nothing to do with agreeing to join Croom's coaching staff. It was a newborn little girl (Bennett) and wife, Ginger, Kitchens had to leave for awhile.
But those problems have been resolved, with Kitchens' family recently joining him in Starkville.
"It was a tough situation," said Kitchens of his move to Starkville. "When I took the job, my girl was nine weeks old and the next time I got to see her on a daily basis was when she was six months old. I was able to see her a week at a time but not everyday. They grow up in a hurry and she's already changed so much during this week alone.
"It puts it into a different perspective when I can go home and see her there with her mother. It changes your whole attitude about life and really puts everything into perspective priorities in your life."
And heading into training camp, Kitchens is putting his tight ends rotation into perspective. Admitting he liked what he saw in spring practice, Kitchens believes his tight ends' collection has the skills yet not the experience.
Sophomore Blake Pettit exited the spring atop the depth chart, with redshirt freshmen Dezmond Sherrod and Eric Butler right behind. Butler missed all of the spring due to shoulder surgery.
With the youthfulness among his tight ends, Kitchens is excited about the future, along with the future development of walk-on senior Ty Freeman and true freshman Linzy Patterson, who underwent spring practice after enrolling full-time.
"With our tight ends, we've got a good combination of guys that can catch, block and run well," said Kitchens of Pettit, Sherrod and Butler. "And they've all added weight since the spring. I believe we have three guys that can play with anybody but they've never been tested. We have to see if they play like small puppies or like big dogs.
"But again, talent-wise, they are good enough to go against the best in the SEC. And they need to be because we're counting on them. We also have a couple of other guys that could figure into role positions. Ty Freeman can catch and roll out very well and I think Linzy Patterson will figure into our plans down the road."
And now that State's first official fall practice has come and gone, Kitchens has no regrets about his new address, which in many ways, is right where he feels at home.
"It was a no-brainer coming with Coach Croom," said Kitchens. "It was an opportunity to come back to the South and the SEC. When you get that call, it's just an opportunity you always look for in this field. I've been very lucky and fortunate in coaching and I've learned a lot from it."

Zaun, who was starting to look like the favorite, took the stage to cheers and vowed "I will spill my blood to save the unborn."
He understood that her unborn child was at the center of her struggle.
"Moms-to-be with high stress levels have higher cortisol levels, to which their unborn babies are exposed," McAllister explains.
But purely from the medical perspective, Michelle is putting herself, and her unborn child, at risk.
A woman survived kidnapping, rape, and savage beatings—but her unborn child did not.
May he who is unborn be the sad announcer of your departure hence!
You can't resurrect the past or peek into the unborn future.
His son, then unborn, is now a successful broker in a great city.
The Indians of old used to burn women and their unborn children.
Many remarkable instances have been collected of the power of imagination over the unborn offspring.

However, these have been modified for use in WW2 with the Enfield #4 Spike Bayonet.
An extra row of stitching has been added reducing the size of the loop into which the bayonet fits. This is an unusual modification but a way of keeping obsolete pattern equipment in use for a struggling British Army.

Tough test for Joyi
By Ron Jackson
Promoter Branco Milenkovic of Branco Sports Productions produces a bumper bill at Carnival City, Brakpan on Saturday night with Nkosinathi Joyi defending his IBF mini flyweight belt against Katsunari Takayama of Japan and in the co-feature Cassius Baloyi meets Argenis Mendiz from the Dominican Republic in an IBF junior lightweight title eliminator.
Joyi (21-0, 15 KOs) makes the first defence of his IBF mini flyweight belt against Japan's Katsunari Takayama (24-4, 10 KOs). Takayama earned the right to face Joyi when he stopped Tshepo Lefele in six rounds at Carnival City last September and is expected to extend Joyi all the way. The southpaw Joyi, 27, possibly the most talented fighter in South Africa won the IBF belt in March last year when he outpointed previously unbeaten Mexican Raul Garcia in East London.
The 27-year-old Katsunari is a tough and experienced fighter who has had more experience at world title level than the South African and is hoping to become the first Japanese fighter in 26 years to win an IBF belt. .
In April 2005 he won the WBC minimumweight belt when he outpointed Isaac Bustos but lost it in his defence against Eagle Den Junhan.
However, in July 2006 he came back to win the WBA minimuweight belt when he beat Carlos Melo, only to lose it again in his first defence when Yutaka Niida took the belt on a split decision.
In July last year he lost on points to Roman Gonzalez who is possibly the best minimumweight fighter in the world in a challenge for the WBA belt.
Takayama is a rugged come forward fighter who is your face all night and Joyi will have to be at best to keep him out for 12 rounds.
The 36-year-old Cassius Baloyi (37-5-1) is hoping for redemption after his lacklustre performances in his last three fights when he meets the 27-year-old Argenis Mendez (17-1, 9 KOs) in an IBF junior lightweight title eliminator.
In the latest IBF junior lightweight rankings there are no fighters listed at number one and two. Baloyi is ranked number three and Mendez at number five. The winner will meet champion Mzonke Fana of South Africa.
In April 2009 Baloyi was bludgeoned to defeat in seven rounds by Malcolm Klassen to lose his IBF belt and in October of the same year he failed to impress in winning a 12 round decision over the limited Argentinian Roberto Arrieta.
In his most recent fight in September last year he was outclassed by Mzonke Fana in losing a 12 round points decision for the vacant IBF junior lightweight belt.
Mendez who fights out of Brooklyn, New York has not fought at the same level as Baloyi who has held six "world" belts, and has no name fighters on his record.
In December 2008 he won the vacant WBA Fedelatin super featherweight title when he beat Arturo Gomez (15-10-3) and then took the vacant USBA super featherweight title in May 2010 when he outpointed Martin Honorio (28-4-1) In his most recent fight in July last year he won an eight round points decision over Shamir Reyes (18-6-2).
If Baloyi has anything left he should have the beating of Mendez but possibly youth will prevail.
Chris van Heerden (14-1-1, 10 KOs) will be making the third defence of his SA welterweight title when he meets Boitshepo Mandawe (8-1, 6 KOs). Van Heerden won their first fight on a hard fought points decision.
In a junior heavyweight clash former SA light heavyweight champion Daniel Bruwer (22-2-1, 18 KOs) meets former WBU middleweight champion Ruben Groenewald (23-8-3, 10 KOs).
Fighting at welterweight former SA featherweight and WBU junior lightweight champion Phillip Ndou (33-4, 32 KOs) takes on the rugged Welcome Ntshingila (16-12-3, 5 KOs).

Resolution Adopted by the CCAR
Adopted by the 107th Annual Convention of the
Central Conference of American Rabbis
March, 1996
Protecting Children from Tobacco Smoking is the most preventable cause of death in the US. Sadly, our children are key targets of the tobacco industry advertising and marketing. Statistics show that the average teenage smoker starts at 14 1/2 years old and becomes a daily smoker by the age of 18. Moreover, 90% of all smokers begin before the age of 18, and more than one-third start before the age of 14. Sixty-seven percent of those who use smokeless tobacco begin before the age of 12. Studies have shown that if people do not begin to smoke as children or teenagers, it is unlikely they will ever do so.
Tobacco advertising (e.g., Joe Camel) and promotional activities are highly successful at persuading children to smoke: everyday, 3,000 children and teenagers start smoking and, between 1991 and 1994, smoking increased 30 percent among eighth-graders alone. Today, at least 3.1. million adolescents smoke.
The Jewish tradition teaches that we are all created b'tzelem elohim-- in the image of God--making each human life as precious as the next. The Torah teaches us to "choose life" and, according to Maimonides, obliges people to avoid things that are detrimental to the health and the body and to condition themselves to things that heal and fortify it. Smoking clearly falls into the former rubric and can easily be deemed by Jewish sensibility as harmful and therefore unacceptable.
Rates of tobacco related diseases are higher for people who begin smoking when they are young. These illnesses include lung cancer, emphysema, and respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in the United States; it is responsible for 1 out of every 5 deaths each year.
In August, the FDA proposed steps to protect children from tobacco, which is addictive and lethal. The proposed regulations serve to limit access of minors to cigarettes and smokeless tobacco through restrictions on sales and to reduce the appeal of tobacco by restricting advertising and promotion. Such limitations on commercial advertising have been upheld by the Supreme Court. Successes in places such as New Zealand and Canada shows that such restrictions cut both tobacco consumption and the number of smokers. Specifically FDA proposed regulations would:
( Establish 18 as the federal minimum age for the sale of tobacco products.
( Require retailers to verify age of purchaser.
( Prohibit cigarette vending machines, free samples, mail-order sales, self-service displays and sale of single cigarettes.
( Ban outdoor advertising within 1,000 feet of schools and playgrounds.
( Restrict outdoor tobacco ads to black and white, with no picture images.
( Restrict tobacco ads to text-only in magazines with large teen readership.
( Prohibit distribution of tobacco promotional items (e.g., baseball caps and T-shirts with cigarette logos).
( Prohibit tobacco brand-name sponsorship of sporting and cultural events. Corporate-name sponsorship would continue to be permitted.
( Require manufacturers to sponsor a national tobacco-free education campaign.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Central Conference of American Rabbis:
1. Urge that we take all steps possible in our congregations, schools, and organizations to deter the use of tobacco by our children.
2. Support the FDA's efforts to reduce tobacco advertising to youth and decrease tobacco use by children.

TOKYO, June 22 Nissan Motor Co (7201.T) will forecast "significantly higher" sales for fiscal 2011 on Thursday after restoring production more quickly than expected after the March 11 earthquake, CEO Carlos Ghosn told a Thomson Reuters Newsmaker event in Tokyo.
Ghosn also said the carmaker would unveil new steps in the coming weeks to accelerate its growth in the Brazilian market.
Japan's No.2 automaker is scheduled to announce this year's profit forecasts on Thursday, followed by a new mid-term growth plan on June 27.

"We are going to show you the numbers tomorrow," Ghosn said at the Newsmaker, which concluded the Reuters Rebuilding Japan Summit in Tokyo. "It is significantly higher."
"Today we are very near normal production," Ghosn said. "We have some restrictions on production but we are approaching normal levels of production and two months ago we never would have thought we would be approaching normal levels of production."
Nissan has said it is expecting unrestricted production to return in October, when it sees the supply of parts recovering to conditions before the March 11 earthquake. Despite the severe disruption, Ghosn surprised financial markets last month by flagging sales growth in the business year that started in April.

Political Economies of Landscape Change

Landscape change is a highly complex process both in terms of the drivers affecting changes to natural and built environments and the outcomes or impacts of those changes. Reflecting this complexity, researchers have explored the process of landscape change from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. The goal of this chapter is to demonstrate the role of social institutions in the process of landscape change within the complexity of social-ecological systems. Here we define institutions as the formal and informal rules that govern human behavior in a particular situation (Dietz et al. 2003; Tucker and Ostrom 2005). Some fields consider institutions mostly in terms of regulations and constraints, such as with land-use zoning. In this context institutions are viewed as tools to limit the impact of undesirable landscape changes. An example is zoning ordinances designed to avoid development in environmentally sensitive areas. However, institutions are also tools that can be used to facilitate or encourage desirable landscape changes. State and federal tax incentives for forest management are examples of institutions designed to produce a particular landscape change outcome. We present both of these types of objectives in exploring the role institutions play in landscape change in rural and urban areas.

Following his return to the UFC, Ben Saunders, who won his bout via submission, became the first person to win a fight with an omoplata. If that wasn't enough, he was awarded $50,000 for a performance of the night bonus. The highlight of Saunders night however? Getting a Tweet from WWE superstar CM Punk.
Saunders spoke with MMAJunkie:
"That was one of the coolest things in the world – him hitting me up for that," Saunders said. "I'm a big fan of his, and it was an absolute honor to get attention from him."

Tree trimming regulations cause confusion in Des Moines

The current ordinance regarding tree-trimming is too vague, the new one could be the most restrictive one in the state-- if anyone could truly understand it.
The ordinance was sent back to committee for further review. Most people were not opposed to tree trimming rather they were opposed to the ordinance. Audience members asked for a simpler version, one that clearly stated when permits were needed and what permits would cost.
A public hearing was held at last Thursday's Des Moines City Council meeting where confusion about the 47 page code was evident. Many that chose to speak could not fully articulate their objections as they found the code overly complex, unclear and confusing.
Councilmembers Melissa Musser and Bob Sheckler were strong supporters of the ordinance citing science and strenuous objection to tree topping.
"I've tried for weeks to find an argument where topping trees is good," said Councilmember Musser. "I will agree to the end of days that tree topping is bad, so we can send this back to committee five or six times but I will not support tree topping in any way shape or form."
Councilmember Jeanette Burrage said that there were several definitions of tree topping, some of them were pruning around the tops of trees and others were removing the complete top of a tree.
"I'm very much like Melissa if someone is going to keep throwing in my face bad science you can do that all day long and it's not going to affect me. I believe that topping trees is bad and it's not going to work," said Councilmember Sheckler.
There were several arguments made for and against tree topping.
"We wanted to provide more clarity, our attempt was clarity," said Planning Manager and presenter Denise Lathrop.
Lathrop repeated several times that clarity was the goal of the ordinance.
"I spent three evenings going through this over and over trying to make some sense out of it," said resident David Elliot. "It's one of the least clear things I've ever read."
Elliot said that even after listening to the presentation he was still unclear about the ordinance.
"I want to be able to take care of my own property without worrying about if I'm breaking the law," said resident Karl Vogel.
Vogel said that he had read the ordinance and was still unsure about which activities would require a permit.
Councilmembers Burrage and Vic Pennington along with Mayor Pro Tem Matt Pina voted against passing it in its current state.
Councilmember Musser said that many people did not understand the ordinance, which is why they were against it.
"The ordinate is very unclear to ordinary homeowners," said Councilmember Burrage. "If there is a new ordinance it should be about trimming trees not about development."
"There are questions that I asked tonight that I didn't get an answer for," said Mayor Pro Tem Pina. "It's hard for me to make a decision on this topic without understanding the ramifications."
Mayor Pro Tem Pina said he had read the ordinance several times and still had unanswered questions. He asked for a second reading.
"This is a tough situation, you're looking at a balance between having healthy vegetation and citizens property rights," said Mayor Pro Tem Pina. "Where our code is void we have to find a solution."
Mayor Dave Kaplan said that the problem under state law is that ordinances are obligated to be consistent and wording it in a simpler fashion is part of the challenge council has. He asked
"This has nothing to do with trimming bushes or cutting trees on your own property it has everything to do with cutting trees in critical areas or on the shoreline," said Mayor Kaplan.
The next Des Moines City Council meeting will be on Thursday June 5, at 7:00 p.m.

Indeed it looks a handy track day device but I must point out the windscreen sucker mount is useless for this: All track day organisers rightly insist the camera is properly mounted. I use a roll bar mount which went on the harness bar of a VX220 and is 100% rigid. Hope I get another track car soon ...
That's true of some trackday organisers, but I'm sure it depends on how stringent they are. I took it out on the Porsche Experience test track at Silverstone (the footage you see in the video) and they were absolutely fine about it.
Perhaps because the camera is so light, there is no momentum to speak of so they let you leave it there ...
I'm going to try and sneak it past on the next trackday I do in my car. They may not even notice it lurking underneath the rearview mirror.

Do you have green time each day? Here's how to choose your own outdoor adventure
Are there days when you and the kids barely leave the house? Are you struggling to make the most of the great outdoors? Tricia from Little Eco Footprints has a great suggestion: plan an urban adventure. It's easy and fun!
I'm guessing most parents are aware that our kids aren't getting enough outdoor time. Children today typically spend more time in front of a screen than outdoors and are missing out on the benefits of outdoor unstructured play. But what can we do about it? Backyards are getting smaller, schedules are getting busier and the idea of letting our kids run wild in the streets is getting scarier.
I found making time for outdoor play particularly challenging when we lived in the city. Between juggling work and having a small backyard that was contaminated with lead, days would go by without spending more than a few moments outdoors.
The benefits of a daily green hour
Inspired by the book The Green Hour by Todd Christopher, I started setting aside an hour each day for outdoor play. The book suggests that the nature deficit disorder that many children experience today can be alleviated simply by reclaiming a 'green hour' a day for play and discovery in the natural world.
"A green hour is simply a time for families to unplug, unwind and recharge as they reconnect to the natural world – and to each other," says Todd Christopher.
Using an outdoor adventure to encourage outdoor play
One of my favourite ways to encourage outdoor play is to create an outdoor adventure. For our first urban outdoor adventure, I photocopied two pages from our street directory and highlighted all the parks and green spaces in our neighbourhood. There were 24 of them – and over the next 24 days we visited each and every one of them.
For our second outdoor adventure, a few years later I decided to focus on weekdays, because weekdays were when we were most likely to miss out on outdoor time. I mapped 60 green spaces within our neighbourhood and challenged our family to visit each of these green spaces over the following three months.
My daughter excitedly chose a new 'dot' to explore each day. We'd arrive at the location without a plan and then simply explore and play.
In the end, we missed some days and didn't always make a full hour, but the challenge did help outdoor time become a habit. There were many days when popping into a park after a long day at work was the last thing we felt like doing, but after a few minutes of play I was always glad that we had made the effort. I particularly loved that we discovered new places that we wouldn't have otherwise visited and felt more connected to our community.
How to create your own outdoor adventure
Perhaps your family would benefit from an outdoor adventure? Here are three tips for creating your own outdoor adventure:
- Decide how much time you would like to spend outside each day. Even 15 minutes is better than nothing.
- Map green spaces, parks and playgrounds in your local neighbourhood. You can hand-draw a map with your children, highlight locations in your street directory, or create a map (like the one pictured above) online using Google maps. To create a map in Google maps, bring your neighbourhood up on the map and then click on 'My Custom Maps' and then 'create'. Give your map a name and you can then start adding 'markers' to each of the playgrounds and green spaces.
- Decide how long your adventure will last. Even a week of getting outdoors every day will help you realise the benefits of daily outdoor play.

text: Feb 08, 2013 - I purchased his product because I was trying to move away from gels - now that my hair is long. I don't have a strong curl pattern to my hair. This product did very little to define my curls, but I loved the shine and softness that it gave my hair. I also tried it under the Curls Unleashed Curl Boosting Jelly, and it was just okay. I have a lot of shrinkage, and this product does help to elongate. I untwisted 4 day old twists, and applied this product directly on my hair, underneath my Fantasia IC Hair Polisher Styling Gel. With the toothbrush, this helped me to super-smooth my edges, gave my hair a "relaxed" look, and my hair was less crunchy. This was not cheap, so I will not throw it away. I will continue to experiment. Not sure if I will keep on my favorite products list, so not sure if I would purchase again.
