Wieand 144 or 177 experiences
So here's the deal, I can't decide which blower is best for me. I want the 177 but I've seen some pretty good deals on used 144's. This will be going on a street car, although not a daily driver. It will be on a SBC with dished forged pistons at 8:5:1. Plan on a forced induction cam and upgrading my current mallory ignition to a multi-spark unit. This motor was previously running a single turbo set-up around 7psi. I wan't to be able to run pump gas as well, the car may see the strip ocassoinaly but mostly street. My concern with the 144 is that I will eventually feel that it is not enough and want to upgrade. I feel that the 6-71 is too excessive and costly for me.
So most importantly I would like to hear from those with experience with either of the two units or another. I would like to know how steetable they are. For example is it excesive to the point where you would see more benefit from a smaller blower and its unresponsive. From what I've read its better to a larger blower and have it spin slower for heat reasons. Also I would like this motor to put out atleast 400+ crank hp. I feel that my 5.7L should put out more than my little 3.0L.
By the way I searched for sometime and didn't find the answer I was looking for. However I did see many users with blown cars so.... please help me out.

For a totally streetable blower on a 350" engine, I would go with the 144. It was more or less designed around a 350. With a base 8.5:1 compression and an added 6lbs of boost supplied with the stock pullies, you will have around (depending on the cam and carb) a 12:1 dynamic compression ratio; right at the edge of what you can get by with pump gas...
The 144 CAN produce up to 10psi on a 350" engine...More power is just a pulley swap away...But remember your head gaskets and rotating assembly will have to step it up as well!!!
I am running a 142 weiand and I love it. It really woke up my small block. I have had it for 2 months or so, and I do already want more, but not much as the rear end of the truck is already hard to keep planted. I am going to go to lower compression forged pistons, blower cam etc to get some more power. I am running an MSD 6AL box with the boost retard module, and I would highly reccomend you do the same. The boost retard is a life saver, keeping detonation at bay. It is very streetable, and seems extremely reliable so far. I know the blower can do a lot more than it is as it is only puishing 4 1/2 psi of boost. The big thing with this blower is it is near silent when you arnt on it, except for a little bit of gear noise at idle. But when you stomp on it, it is this sweet blower whine, the person you blow by getting on the freeway will not know what hit them(especially when it is a 1969 chevy c-10 that hasnt had any body work done yet. )If you have any specific questions, let me know. I installed, set up, and tuned this whole set up and it was challenging for my first blower install, but lots of fun.
A good thing to note is that the 142's are C.A.R.B. certifited 50 state street legal an the 177's are not. If you live in a state with strict emissions like CA or NJ, that's something to look at.
B&M 144. I'm using the larger snout pullet (turns the blower slower). 510 HP on the engine dyno. With an 1800 lb. car you better have the wheels pointed straight. It's quick and a lot of fun.
I am in CA, but it's going on a 56 Chevy .... so I'm smog exempt, I can do whatever I please . California Air Research Board can kiss my a@# in this case.
I had another question for you guys with regaurds to tuning. I'm familiar with the process of tuning a fuel injected turbo car, but this would be a bit different. There's no knock sensor, O2 sensors, injector duty cycle, or anything for reference. Well except your ears. I know on turbo cars EGTs are used to indicate detonation by high temps. Anyone tune using supercharged carberated cars using EGT's for reference? I know MSD makes a knock box too.
I know that you can hear detnation most of the time, I'm just concerned since my car is rather loud. BTW I should have access to a dyno for tuning hopefully.
As far as blower choice, I'm still up in the air about. I sounds like you guys are really happy with your 144s and 142s.
bud-23 is the 510HP a desktop dyno or an actual dyno numbers? How's you motor set up? CR, heads, cam, etc...
subman17 I'd like to run the MSD box with the boost retard. Right now I'm leaning towards mallory since I have unilight dist right now and I'm really happy with it. I was looking into the MSD units is the boost retard fixed or does it take an input from the manifold and make corrections based upon actual boost levels? Also is it just a regular 6AL box or is it a seperate unit that works in conjunction with the 6-AL?
One last thing can you guys run on pump cas alright? I can only realisticallly get 91 octane at the pump here in CA.
thank you everyone,
Your ability to run on pump gas all comes down to your static CR and the amount of boost you are running. There is a table that shows you all this on Holley's website. It's very informitive.
Odium thanks for the link looks like I "should" be able run about 7psi. Anyone use alcohol or propane injection to raise octane?
Both MSD and Crane make units that will work in conjuction with a MAP (Manifold Air Pressure) sensor and retard your timing based on indicated boost. The more boost you have going . . . the more it retards it (though you set the specification for how many degrees vs. how many lbs of boost).
I believe both MSD and cranes units are similar in cost.
Bringing history and technology together.
I suppose this is the one of the units your talking about:
CRN-6000-6425 $117.99 + Map sensor $57.95
MSD $165.88 complete, works with regular coil no box needed
Looks like mallory has one too $239.95 + accessories... a bit pricey
These are from Summit, I like how the MSD unit is packaged as a complete kit and doesn't require another box. Looks like if you want to run an MSD 6AL box you need to run a MSD-8762 or MSD-8962. Anyone have a preferences or experiences with the above units?
One mor question for those with the 144 or 142 blowers, can you hold consistant boost all the way to 5-6k with out it dropping off? Holding around 7psi.
I hold 4 1/2 or 5 lbs all the way up as long as my foot is in it. The boost retard box is in addition to the regular MSD box, it references boost pressure and retards the timing 0-3 degrees per pound of boost, up to a max of 15 degrees. You have a knob on the dash taht controls the amount of retard per pound, and a setting on the box itself for when the retard comes in. I am running 91 octane gas, my only problem right now is that if my engine temp goes over 190, it will ping is I get on it. Electric fans next week should cure that problem. I am running a 160 degree stat, and an edelbrock victor water pump, and a 4 core copper radiator. It only gets that hot sitting for extended periods of time in drive.
I tuned my truck entirely by ear, over 40 series flows, no cats, dual pipes. Of course I used a timing light, and read the plugs often. I have been running unchanged for 5000 miles with no problems, Dyno run soon to come.
Running less than 10psi you should have no problems on pump gas. As a matter of fact, you could make it without the BTM if you are keeping boost low but it would be better with. I would go with the larger unit so you have room to grow, but that is just me.
subman17 I just noticed your in SanJose, I'm from Martinez next Walnut Creek/Pleasan HIll. Maybe once I get this thing going you can help me tune it or give me some tips. So the blower is capable of holding more than 4.5~5lbs of boost, thats just what your running currently.
TurboS10 thanks, I run 14.5psi on my Stealth but it's turbo has EFI and aluminum heads which my chevy does not. I'm just kind of uneasy about tuning without some of the tools that I'm used to.
Right now I'm looking to pick up a 142, I'm assuming that it should enough for my application. From what I've gathered the 177 would be more ideal if I were going to be running higher RPM. I'll be happy if I can get 400rwhp, think this is possible on pump gas with the Weiand142 with blower pistons, 8:5:1 CR, blower cam, heads that breath, and headers?
As stupid as it may sound I was actually looking into a little B&M blower for my motorhome. It's a 360 Dodge engine, which would be the only setback?
If a manifold is NOT made for a small block Dodge I guess I could make one easily enough? But is the power / heat / mileage/ longevity good enough with these blowers to make it a viable project?
The motorhome is 350 horsepower, big hydraulic roller "street strip"ish type engine, wiith 4.10 gears and it weighs 6500 pounds.
Would a B&M blower be decent, or a paxton style set-up a little better, or?
Any ideas anybody? Anybody used a B&M blower on a HEAVY vehicle before?

Lake Michigan Credit Union Robber Arrested.
There was a two hour standoff, but GR cops got their man. And with security camera pictures like this, it didn't take long for the tips to start coming in.
It was all over by 9 last night on Grand near Fulton. Police had the home surrounded for a couple of hours before the suspect surrendered. The suspect was wanted for Monday's robbery at the Lake Michigan Credit Union attached to St. Mary's hospital.

Refresh, Renew, and Romance
March 4, 2014 by Cheryl Farruggia
Every year we take one of our rooms and we give it an update. A fresh coat of paint, fresh new colors, cozy new bedspreads, and little loving touches to make our guests feel right at home. This year Ann's Room was on the list for a little bit of love. After the busy holidays we got to work on her makeover. We chose gorgeous shades of platinum, cream, and goldenrod to enhance the sensual mood that Ann's Room inspires. A freshly papered wall embraces the blonde hues throughout the wood of the fireplace and cathedral ceiling. The bold slate draperies bring a touch of masculinity to the sweet softness of the pillowy bed below. The double whirlpool tub draws the goldenrod and grey with an adorable shower curtain in the room's private bath that is sure to soothe the soul and enhance the mood. Ann's Room is one of our guest favorites and we are sure it will be your favorite too.
Book your romantic getaway soon and enjoy the sweet smells of spring.
We look forward to seeing you.

We love our Bed and Breakfast and it makes our day to hear kind words from our guests after they have had the opportunity to relax and unwind at our Inn. We take great pride in making sure each one of our guests has a memorable stay away from home during their time with us. Here is what one of our guests last week had to say about his visit:
My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at the Cloran Mansion in Galena Illinois this past week. What an awesome experience! The grounds surrounding the beautifully kept Italianate Mansion were pristine. The Inn itself was beautiful down to every detail. Our room had a fireplace, flat screen TV, DVD and its own bathroom. The bedding was superb. We were right next to the parlor that shelved hundreds of DVDs – a movie for anyone's taste.
The breakfast was great in quantity and quality. The pumpkin pancakes were the best I ever tasted.
The friendliness and care provided by the Innkeepers, Cheryl and Carmen made this our best B&B experience ever!

11th Anniversary
August 6, 2012 by Cheryl Farruggia
It's hard to believe that 11 years ago we bought The Cloran Mansion.
If I had to describe our first month it would be very simple, Scared, Broke, Amazed and today I would just say Still Amazed and absolutely no regrets.
It's been an incredible 11 years. We were married only 2 weeks before we opened, moved from a major city to a minor city and into a business that I knew absolutely nothing about. To this day I have never spent the night at any other Bed and Breakfast, but I didn't need to, my guests have taught me everything.
So many guests have touched our lives and I hope that we have touched theirs as well. So many people have arrived here as guests and left as friends, many are almost like family.
We have had thousands of guests in our 11 years and although I cannot remember all of them, many of them will always be in our hearts.
We have had all kinds of people here from school bus drivers, teachers, technical people, factory workers, politicians, producers,and Secret Service, but they have all had one common element, a mini break. They are all just normal people looking for a small break from everyday.
We have had 97 weddings to date, 66 engagements on the property and 5 renewal of vows and a commitment ceremony. Each one has brought us wonderful memories.
We have had guests who arrived while dating, returned as an engaged couple, returned again as a married couple and returned again to show us their new baby. We love the Christmas cards and baby picture that we receive each year.
We have made some incredible friends here, lifelong friends. You cannot put a price on that.
We have had the opportunity in the past 11 years to become part of the community. Cheryl has been the President of the Chamber of Commerce, Vice President of the Bed and Breakfast Innkeepers ofGalena, a Director on the Hospital Board and advisor on various committees. I have been the President of the Bed and Breakfast Innkeepers of Galena, Co-Chairman and Director of The Visitors Center and on various committees as well. Galena is a wonderful town to call home.
If I had to choose some memorable moments – probably first time guests ever to a Bed and Breakfast, nervous and worried about the "rules" of staying at a Bed and Breakfast and then turning around and becoming returning guests on multiple occasions.
The term "labor of love" is all I can think of. I had (and still do have) the perfect partner who had some wonderful ideas and dreams.
It would take too long to go into every memorable moment, but let me assure you we have a lifetime of memories that have made us very happy and proud to own The Cloran Mansion.

No problem man!!
1993 Corrado. 1997 4Runner, 2005 Otto Bock C-Leg.
Got the chains installed and everything lined up. I've been using the chains and tensioners DIY from here and it has been insanely helpful.
I know that the chains probably wont slip any but I had them slip twice and had to take them off and redo them so I have some wire keeping some tension as a backup.
And a view of my car surrounded by itself.

Anyway I got the covers back on yesterday.
I wanted to clean up the valve cover a little and polish the parts that aren't covered up by the intake manifold.
Next up is to install the new flywheel, clutch and pressure plate and clean up transmission some. Good times
Looking good

Made some more progress the last few days. Put the new crack pipe and thermostat housing in. The crack pipe looks sharp; too bad it is invisible with the car fully assembled.
Got the starter back in and changed the oil pan gasket today. Also put the intake manifold back on today.
In the process of putting the transmission back in I bumped a wire and the end fell to the floor with a piece of electrical tape on the end. Instead of doing it properly the PO just taped the two ends together Needless to say we redid that wire properly. I think the intake manifold looks pretty cool polished up next to the polished portions of the valve cover
Anyway hoping to complete the project this week
Its been awhile since I last posted. I had a pretty gnarly case of bronchitis and was sidelined for almost a week. Anyhow I got everything assembled and fired her up. The engine sounds great but when I take my foot off the clutch I get some grinding sounds. Not 100% sure what it is but its not right so the transmission will be coming back out to search for the cause of the problem. Since I'll be doing this I want to replace anything that might be causing the problem. The throwout bearing is new but I want to put a new one in. Thinking about doing a new clutch fork also. What else is worth doing? I want to eliminate as many variables as possible to reduce chances of having to take it out a third time. This has been quite a letdown but I'm glad to have found out now rather than having it go bad on the road. And the part I was most worried about (chains/timing) sounds great so there is some good news despite the bad. Does anyone have experience with the 13 lb flywheel from MJM? I've read some mixed reviews about lightened flywheels and am considering putting the old one back on. Any and all input/insight is appreciated
Pulled the transmission back out today and it appears that the rivet things on the pressure plate are rubbing on the transmission once the clutch is disengaged
So the question now is why is there contact? The new flywheel appears to be thicker than the one I took off ). Is my assumption that this added width makes the plate that much closer to the transmission? I'm going to take everything off and measure and weigh everything and probably wind up with the original flywheel back on (I have a feeling that the new flywheel is actually heavier than the one i took off f not then maybe some grinding of the rivets and and/or transmission to allow clearance but I'd prefer to not go that route. More disassembling tomorrow and comparing new and old parts tomorrow.
I figure its time for a quick update. Finished the chains/clutch project a few weeks ago. I saved the broken pieces that I found while doing the chains. This piece I have no idea where it originated
This is from the upper tensioner; completely separated from the tensioner rail
This is the upper guide rail. Wasn't a cause for any noises but very close to completely failing
Some lovely gifts from previous owners:
Coolant pipe cut and put back together using pipe and hose clamps
Wires split and put back together using electrical tape
I ordered clear turn signals in October and they finally came 2 weeks ago. I wasn't aware that slc's came with them stock and was disappointed when they didn't fit in my bumper so I ordered some French fogs and trimmed the holes to make the social foglight assemblies fit. I also got a better grill than the one that came with the car. I love the look. Before:
My next project is to get this fixed and get a new paint job
Some smaller goals in the meantime are to replace broken drivers door handle (the lock cylinder broke), put the new sunroof in, carpet the trunk and undelete the rear VW badge. I hope that you are having a super awesome day! Until next time

looking good man. keep it up..
Have a Eastwood fender Roller FOR RENT
My Corrado-Database
Last night I went to see Social Distortion so I have the day off and decided I'd take some time to update. I bought and installed an Autotech rear stress bar. Handling is much improved and I am very pleased with this addition.
I also picked up a new steering wheel that I found on Craigslist. Nothing was wrong with the other one but I wanted a different look.
Ever since I bought this car I've tried to learn as much as I can about it and its engine. I read several times that the vr6 is a hot running engine and that, because of the heatsoaking that occurs, the intake filter I have doesn't make any improvements over the stock airbox. So I set out to make some sort of heatshield. I went to goodwill and found some plastic tray things and cut them up and this is what I came up with.
Its not perfect by any means but I think it makes a small difference. Not being satisfied with that, I decided to add a hose to help feed fresher air.
I fed it down next to the radiator and zip tied it to the tow hook.
I received some new motor mounts a couple weeks ago so I'm waiting for some time to get them installed. Last weekend brought nice weather so I took the opportunity to wash and snap some pictures.
That's all for now.
So I've been having some goofy idle issues since I finished doing my chains. At start up it will idle at 1500 rpm for a minute then drop down to 1000. And while driving about half the time I stop, as soon as I engage the clutch the rpms jump to 1500 for 20 seconds then drop down. I pulled the idle control valve to clean it and while cleaning it noticed that it was dripping out the bottom. Found a used one on Craigslist and picked that up, cleaned it and installed it. That helped but not the solution. After doing some research decided that the next course of action would be to try vacuum hoses and the coolant temp sensor. I put them in the other day and what do you know? Idling normal now This weekend I'm going on a cruise to the beach looking forward to seeing some cool cars. Now I need to start saving to get some body work done
This last Saturday I went on a cruise with a bunch of over VWs to the beach. It was a lot of fun, a great drive and the best news of all: the rado handled the 200+ mile day without a hitch. I didn't get many pics but I'll put up the few I did take.
I also found this picture of my car from a cruise last summer. My water pump went out halfway through and started dumping coolant.
I don't have anything else so
I've been doing some cosmetic stuff recently and thought I should share. Last summer some idiot(me) got a little spray paint crazy rattle canned my drivers rear quarter panel . Needless to say it turned out like bloody monkey vomit so I decided to try to fix it. I forgot to take before pictures but I got some during and after. I wet sanded for what seemed like days
Wet sanded and washed
Meguiar's ultimate compound is an incredible product. This is after one application
Final product
My passenger door has a large piece of body putty near the hinge so I picked up a used one in green and have been working at getting it black and doing it better than the previously mentioned bloody monkey vomit paint job.
I think it just needs a good buffing and it will be close to matching the rest of the car. Its not perfect but it'll do until I get a respray. I was prowling through pick-n-pull the other day and came across a Passat with a center visor so I yanked it and brought it home.
I also came across a photo of my first ride, or what was left of it. She was an awesome 1986 Golf named the Mayflower. A lady in an uninsured bmw pulled out in front of me and I t-boned her going 50. Not a good day but this was my first vw experience and got me hooked.
That's all for now. Tata

I am horrible at posting in this regularly. I've had a busy month upgrading some of my lighting. I ordered a set of DDI gauges in December and never received them. After some angry emails I finally received them in September. My point in this is not to bad mouth DDI, because the situation has been rectified. Long story short, I installed them and am very pleased with them.
I was sent what I believe to be the UK gauges, but after the headache it was just to receive them, I decided to just use them instead of trying to return them.
In late August a local pick-n-pull received a Corrado, so I went down to see what kind of goodies I could find. It was pretty well picked over but still had all the tail lights in near mint condition. It just happened to be half-off weekend so I scored all 4 for $40. I liked the smoked look for a while, but I'm over it now and dig the stock tails.
I found a DIY on the CCC site on how to activate the rear fog lights. I modified the instructions some and turned them into an extra set of brake lights. I hope these lower my chances of being a rear ending target.
Just tails:
Brake lights:
Now for my favorite I picked up a set of French style e-codes. I had to order new bezels and lenses to change to vr6, and the wait was unbearable. I also decided to tint inside the lights.
I purchased a relayed harness from Eurowires and it works wonderfully. However my brights and lows are opposite from the indicator light in the cluster. If that's the only issue, I can live with it. I'm still tinkering with the proper aiming, but I'm very pleased with this upgrade. I had some HID's in my stock headlights and its nice to not get brights flashed from every oncoming car.
My next necessary upgrade is going to have to be fixing the poor wiper performance. I'm seeing the Lupo upgrade, but not sure if I can justify spending that money after the e-codes. I'm curious why the Lupo seems to be the only wipers to swap, and will be trying wiper arms from other cars to see if they fit or work any better than what I'm currently using. Living in rain country, wipers that work are a must. I think tying a dog to the roof and using its wagging tail would be as efficient, if not better, than the coverage I'm getting now.
I ran across this picture on my parents computer and I believe that its the oldest I have/closest to how I purchased the car.
Sometimes I think I haven't made any progress on my Frankenrado, but then I come across old pictures and am blown away at how different it looks. If you've made it through my novel with few pictures, I thank you for the attention. You deserve a high five. Sweet dreams
French-spec headlights look good!!! Especially with the "Joey-mod"
I hope you didn't pay too much for them, since its just a yellow cap inside that separates them from normal e-codes
My Corrado (sort of) build thread / On Database
My MK1 build thread
When I first learned of the French specs and began researching them I couldn't believe that people would pay close to $1,000 for these. That's the price I found them on ebay for anyway. I think I got a pretty good deal on them. With the lights and new bezels and lenses I'm still in for less than a set of brand new e-codes.

New Delhi, May 14 (ANI): Petrol pumps in Delhi are observing a 24-hour shutdown in protest against the hike in Value Added Tax (VAT) on diesel by the Delhi Government on Friday.
Over 400 petrol pumps in Delhi are said to have downed their shutters.
Pump owners say oil sales have gone down by over 40 percent since the price hike.
"Diesel sales have reduced by 50 percent in June 2008 and have reduced by another 40 percent this year. This has made it unviable to run several petrol pumps. There are 20,000 families dependent on us and its becoming tough to even give out salaries," said Atul Peshawaria, president, Delhi Petrol Dealers Association.
Peshawaria added that the association has sent repeated representations to the government but to no avail.
"We don't want to inconvenience the people. But there seems to be no other way out. The government is completely unwilling to listen to us. If the sales have dropped so much, how can the government make more money on taxes?" Peshawaria questioned.
In Haryana, the price of diesel has been cut by Rs 3.88 where as in UP it will be cut by 68 paisa.
A litre of diesel costs Rs 34.75 in Haryana, as against Rs 38.10 in Delhi.
Pump owners said that due to hike in VAT, the motorists are choosing Noida, Faridabad or Guragaon which are under the NCR, to get a fill.
On April 9, the pump owners had called off their strike, following the assurance of Delhi Chief Minister Shiela Dikshit that their grievances will be addressed within 15 days.
Meanwhile, autorickshaw unions are also planning an indefinite strike from May 17 demanding to increase in minimum fare. (ANI)

I had a sale yesterday after 10 totally dry days.
Sometimes it bothers me as I wonder why I'm not at the sales level that some of the guys who started at the same time are. Then I have a sale and it's just so flattering to know someone picked
a song
I wrote to use for some mystery project.
It's at those times I realize that it's important to maintain the attitude of the eternal student. I go back and listen to the big sellers and the new big sellers. And instead of wondering "why not me?", I try to appreciate the quality of their track and learn from the way they wrote it/played it/introduced the elements/mixed it. And I always come away hopeful.
And the other thing that selling one track can do is surprise me. It was a track whose quality I was questioning- whether I had the right groove or sound. It sounded iffy to me. But then someone bought it.
So, I guess I feel that the balance between allowing myself to always learn while trusting myself enough to upload songs I may not be sure about is key.
And this community is great for hearing what you guys are thinking and doing to help yourselves to a big heaping bowl of success. I hope to keep learning more from you and slowly fill my bowl too.
Happy to have a sale, S6
Checking your stuff out right now.
it feels very nice

The normal ups and downs of life mean that everyone feels sad or has "the blues" from time to time. Depression is different from normal sadness in that it engulfs your day-to-day life, interfering with your ability to work, study, eat, sleep, and have fun. The feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, and worthlessness are intense and unrelenting, with little, if any, relief. I have found in treating clients with depression that a multi-pronged approach is most effective and includes a combination of social support, lifestyle changes and emotional skills building learned within the therapeutic relationship.

Lack of pleasure, emotional deadness, lack of energy, withdrawal from those people and activities that we have valued, and a constant stream of negative thoughts about life are part of what depression does to us. Stress in relationships at home and work and early trauma can create depression. A caring relationship with an experienced and genuine other offers the way out of depression. This is what I provide for you.

When you were growing up in Sweden, how aware were you of Roy Hodgson and the impact he was having on Swedish football?
He came to my hometown (Halmstad) and won the league in 1976 and 1979 so of course I knew about him. My friend is the chairman of our club and he was a player with Hodgson and they are very tight, so I have heard a lot of stories about him and he is supposed to be a very good manager.
What influence did the tactics he brought to Halmstad, and later Malmo, have on Swedish football and the national team?
Not so much the national team, but in my hometown he made wonders. Of course it was a different kind of game but we won the league and it was a big thing for him to come in and win it. Then he developed. He was at big clubs like Inter and there are not many English managers who have been able to go around in different countries.
It is said that he exported an English style to Sweden with 4-4-2, would you agree?
I think he implemented it stronger than it was before, because the Swedish have always been influenced by English football. I think as well Bob Houghton was in Swedish football at the same time and he influenced it a lot as well.
What do think of Erik Hamren's attempts to move Sweden towards a more attacking style of play?
I love attacking football, there is no question about that, but at the same time you need to look at what sort of material you have, player-wise. I felt against Ukraine we played a lot of long balls which is not how we said we wanted to play. That was a little bit of a disappointment as they have talked so much that they wanted to play more football. That's what we need to do, and then we should play it, because that's the stage to do it on. I hope they will show it now against England.
It's interesting then that as Sweden continue to evolve, England under Hodgson have moved away from 4-2-3-1 and back to a 4-4-2. Against France we saw a cautious performance from England, what did you make of it?
France are seen as one of the favourites probably – they are good with the ball. Not to jump to Hodgson's defence, but he has only been there for one-and-a-half months and to make the team play exactly how he wants is not that easy. I think he has taken the cautious approach: 'It is better we are solid at the back and then we develop from there'. They will develop their offensive game and I think it will get a lot better as well when Rooney gets back.
England look very solid and compact - maybe not so adventurous going forward, but you got a good result and you have something now to stand on and maybe now you will change and go much more offensively against Sweden and Ukraine.
How strong do you think England are compared to some of the other teams in the competition?
I think the advantage of the England team now is that, at least when I have been in London, people on the streets think they aren't as great as they have done before and that means the pressure is not so big on the players. That is the biggest downer they always had: the pressure has always been too big during the tournaments, whenever they have been playing.
If you look player to player, maybe you would say that other teams looked a little bit better before, but now they don't have the pressure on, maybe they will surprise a few people.
There are suggestions Hodgson will bring in Andy Carroll in attack, especially with talk about Sweden being vulnerable in the air and from set-pieces. Do you expect Carroll to play and are England right to target Sweden in the air?
I have heard that is the case and I was just speaking to a Swedish journalist who said that out of the last 11 goals Sweden have conceded, eight have been headers or set-pieces. I think Roy Hodgson has obviously seen that and to be fair to him has done his homework. Unfortunately, from a Swedish perspective, we were always strong in the air and solid at the back, so it is a bit surprising that this is the case now.
Steven Gerrard said yesterday in his press conference that if England play at the same level they did against France then they would beat Sweden. He also said "Sweden are not France". What do you make of that?
That is his opinion. I think the only thing I would say about that is that England did not go very offensively against France so we don't know what they can deliver defensively and that is what we will see tonight. There is a lot of history as well: Sweden haven't really lost to England in the past in big tournaments. It is interesting. I am looking forward to the game and Gerrard as the captain has to do the best for his team and that is the main thing.
Do you think England have been prone to underestimating Sweden over the years?
When I played it was something like 32 years since England had last beaten Sweden and every time we played them the English media said, 'Oh, we will beat them easily', and they didn't. For us that worked really well. We were like, 'Okay, let them talk and put the pressure on the England team and we will get the result.' I think that is how the English media works a little bit and the country is so football mad, they are always wanting to win. Sometimes it is a good thing – it has an influence in the game that maybe I wish we had in Sweden.

Foods That Fight Pain
Natural remedies and recipes for common ailments.
When you have a lot of ailments, popping pills for every ache and pain can leave you feeling like a walking drugstore, so it's no wonder that some of us would rather brave through a headache than take a pill. But can you fight aches and pains naturally with foods—without medication? While over-the-counter and prescription medications definitely serve a purpose, we've found science that shows you can get some pain-fighting effects from food. Here's a roundup of research that Rachel Johnson, Joyce Hendley, Karen Ansel and Holly Pevzner have previously covered for EatingWell Magazine.

Visa cancellation kit
1. Introduction
Any type of visa (permanent or temporary) may be cancelled by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) if you do not pass the "character test". The character test is defined in section 501(6) of the Migration Act 1958 (the Migration Act). Applications for a visa can also be refused if you do not pass the character test.
You will not pass the character test if you:
- have a "substantial criminal record" (see below for definition); or
- have an association with an individual, group or organisation which is suspected of being involved in criminal conduct; or
- are not of good character having regard to your past and present criminal or general conduct; or
- are at significant risk of engaging in future, unacceptable conduct.
What is a substantial criminal record?
A person will have a substantial criminal record if they have been:
- Sentenced to a period of imprisonment of 12 months or more;
- Sentenced to a number of shorter periods of imprisonment (at the same time or at different times) that add up to 2 years or more; or
- Found not guilty due to mental illness and detained.
If you have a substantial criminal record you fail the character test and DIAC may cancel your visa.
When calculating a "period of imprisonment", DIAC will include parole periods, suspended sentences, time spent in periodic detention, or time spent in drug rehabilitation or mental health facilities if they were ordered as a sentence by a court. Sentences received for juvenile offences can also be included.
What happens if my visa is cancelled?
- If your visa is cancelled you cannot remain in Australia unless you get another type of visa.
- You cannot apply for any other visa except a protection (refugee) visa or a bridging visa.
- Once you have finished your prison sentence, you will be removed from Australia and returned to the country of which you are a citizen. Most of the time this is the place you were born.
- After you have been removed from Australia you will never be able to return.

Exercise, physical activity, and eating and weight disorders
Hills, Andrew P., Byrne, Nuala M., & Wood, Rachel E. (2008) Exercise, physical activity, and eating and weight disorders. In Armstrong, Neil & van Mechelen, Willem (Eds.) Paediatric Exercise Science and Medicine (Second Edition). Oxford University Press, New York, United States of America, pp. 453-465.
A new edition of the leading reference work for all those working in developmental exercise science and medicine The content draws on the latest research, to provide an evidence-based guide, with details of original sources and references for further reading Chapters are cross-referenced where appropriate, giving easy access to complementary/more in-depth information across the book Each chapter concludes with a bulleted summary so that the main points can be quickly identified
New to this edition Part 5 is now focused on the Elite Young Athlete, with new chapters on the development of the young athlete, hormonal responses and adaptations, aerobic training, and maximal intensity and strength training New chapters have been added on ethics in paediatric research, field tests of performance, growth and maturation, exercise metabolism, and gene-physical activity interactions
Now in its second edition,Paediatric Exercise Science and Medicine is the leading reference work designed to support and challenge those involved in developmental exercise science and medicine. Since the publication of the first edition, the paediatric sub-specialty has become firmly established as a major component of sport and exercise medicine and this is reflected by a marked increase in research activity and publication. Experimental methods pioneered with adults have been successfully adapted for use with children and new non-invasive techniques have been developed and applied to paediatric research to provide new insights into understanding the exercising child. Incorporating the latest research from established, internationally recognized authors and new contributors who have emerged as leading researchers since the publication of the first edition, each chapter has been comprehensively updated to reflect evidence-based advances in knowledge. The book is extensively cross-referenced to promote access to complementary material and each chapter ends with a bulleted summary to support the rapid identification of key issues.
Readership: Researchers, postgraduate students and final year undergraduates in sport and exercise science, those working in sports medicine, paediatrics, health education /promotion, human biology, physiology, and physiotherapy.

The best way to change the channel for the lazy
I just got DirecTV, and since I am one of those that hates to scroll through the guide, or apps, that do not work right, or none available for Windows, I found one site that allows you to control your DirecTV receiver or DVR, if they are connected to your home network.
The catch is again, you have to have your DirecTV equipment connected to you home network, for this site to work. The site is http://www.waltzremote.com.
We switched from U-Verse to Direct, since my wife is the Football fanatic, and I got really tired of pixelation, when watching sports.
Perhaps, too, there is an app for your directTV reciever. This avoids the dependency and risk or going through a third party.
Something like this work for you?
Or this?
There are several different solutions in the professional field that allow for system control via Iphone, Ipod, Ipad, and Android devices
Too much money ktkelly. I have the DirecTV app for both the iPad & iPhone if needed, and a Logitech Harmony 650 remote. The Waltzremote.com site comes in handy, when wanting to see what is on, without having to scroll through the guide, pull up zap2it.com, or use Buddytv app or the DirecTV app to find something.

Originally written on Pro Boxing Fans | Last updated 10/16/14
From the moment that it was announced that Manny Pacquiao would tangle with Juan Manuel Marquez for a fourth time, a number of pundits in the boxing world (including some of my colleagues at Proboxing-fans.com) began groaning that the fight was a waste of time and money, a rehash of a rivalry that was old hat and could offer nothing new. Some of that complaining continued right up until fight night, and how wrong they were! Credit: Chris Farina - Top Rank I never thought this way, and honestly could not understand why anyone would. Quadrilogies are uncommon in boxing, but quadrilogies where both participants are still world class competitors in the same league and have unfinished business are an extreme rarity. Take the Rafael Marquez vs. Israel Vazquez quadrilogy, where Vazquez was a spent force by the time of the fourth installment. On that historical note alone, Marquez vs. Pacquiao IV promised to deliver. Also, "new" can be overrated. Even if Pacquiao vs. Marquez h...

One Shot in Ferguson Protests
Police in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson are confirming one person was shot during last night's protests over the deadly shooting of an unarmed Black teenager.
Missouri Highway Patrol Captain Ron Johnson says the gunman was apparently among the protesters and also shot at a police car.
The victim is in critical condition.
Officers fired smoke canisters to break up the crowds, but began using tear gas when they heard reports of shots being fired. The shooter ran off.
A curfew will be in effect again in Ferguson, Missouri tonight starting at midnight and running until 5 a.m.
Missouri Highway Patrol officials say seven people were arrested early this morning for failing to disperse after a curfew took effect.
Ferguson has been at the center of controversy since unarmed Black teenager Michael Brown was shot and killed by a police officer more than a week ago.

YallaStartup aims to foster innovation and early stage entrepreneurship in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region. The goal is to set the right channels and programs to increase the entrepreneurship activity at the youth and early stage levels.
We are three entrepreneurs from the Middle East. We founded, advised, fund raised and sold a number of companies in the US and Middle East. Throughout our journeys we faced a number of issues that we had to overcome, some were tougher than others. We realized that a lot of entrepreneurs in the MENA region face the same problems and we decided to do something about it.
Let's get things going. Yalla! YallaStartup!

Colbert Mocks Fox For Attacking Obama Over A Paper Clip
Blog ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
On the September 14 edition of Comedy Central's The Colbert Report, host Stephen Colbert mocked Fox News and the NY Post's story attacking President Obama over the paper clip used to hold together his jobs bill. After playing clips of co-hosts from Fox News' Fox & Friends and The Five attacking the paper clip, Colbert joked, "I'll tell you folks, the story of Clipgate is spreading like wildfire -- all the way from Fox News studio E to Fox News studio J." Later, he added, "If [Obama] really believed in this bill, he should have presented it in a leather-bound volume with gold filigree and illuminated initials, so the Republicans had something presentable to dismiss before they ever look at it."

Tickhill, Doncaster
Tickhill project involved everything a brand new build needed. As well as being garden landscapers we also put all the new services from the gate to the house, water, gas, electric and telephone line. We connected up the drainage and sewage and then started building and shaping the back garden to the front patio. We then set about laying 1200 square metres of turf and planting hundreds of plants providing a new build with an established garden.

Hundreds of Humans, Millions of Animals Die in Heat Wave in India
Thank god climate change is a myth:
Amid reports that a number of people had died due to the severe heatwave conditions prevailing in Andhra Pradesh, the MeT office today said the hot spell would continue in the state for another 24 hours.
Local media reports claimed that over 200 persons died to due to severe heat this summer, but no cumulative figures were available with the officials.
Revenue officials in Visakhapatnam said about 40 persons succumbed to the heatwave this summer in the district, while a report from Medak said two persons died in the district in May.
Heatwave conditions may continue to prevail over isolated parts in the districts of West Godavari, Guntur and Krishna of coastal Andhra Pradesh during the next 24 hours," the Meteorological Department (IMD) said. Conditions are likely to abate in coastal Andhra Pradesh in the subsequent two days, it said.
I love the line, "died due to severe heat this summer." It's spring. Summer begins on June 20.
And there's this:
The heat wave sweeping Andhra Pradesh has taken a heavy toll on the poultry industry in East Godavari district.
According to The Hindu, over 20 million birds have died in hundreds of farms spread across six mandals of the district since the first week of May and the toll is mounting with hundreds succumbing to the searing heat. Small farmers, already facing losses on account of increase in cost of poultry feed and labour charges, are the worst hit.
East Godavari occupies the first place in the State in layer chicks hatching and there are 1.65 billion chicks in different farms in the district. However, since the first week of May, the production of eggs has come down to 90,000 a day, impacting exports.
So many freaky weather events happening. It's scary.
The United States — Israel's Lacky
I absolutely love this post from 972mag because it so perfectly, perfectly!, illustrates the United States' relationship with Israel for as long as I've been alive:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's promise yesterday to build 851 more housing units in the West Bank got the Americans "angry," as usual:
"The US position on Israeli settlements is clear – we do not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity. We also oppose any effort to legalize settlement outposts," the official said.
Yada, yada, yada. Been there, heard that. If I had a buck for every time a State Department official condemned settlement activity, I'd have more than Warren Buffet.
And guess what? Israeli officials don't even bother to hide how they take America for a dupe. Here's what Ariel Attias (Shas), Minister of Construction and Housing, said to Army Radio this morning:
They condemn. We build.
It's a pretty simple game once you get the hang of it.
And on and on it goes.
I am ashamed that the U.S. has looked the other way all these years on the issue of the Israeli settlements. Going against Israel, even when it would be the right thing to do, just isn't done here.
My heart goes out to the Palestinians. Decade upon decade of this:

The Romneys — Potential Neighbors From Hell
Here are some snippets from a rather long New York Times article titled: The Candidate Next Door. It is about the 3,000 square foot La Jolla, California beach home Mitt Romney bought four years ago and which he plans to demolish and replace with an 11,000 square foot mansion.
But many of the residents of this exclusive tract in La Jolla say they are rankled by what they see from their decks and patios as the Romneys' blindness to their impact on the neighborhood.
Some neighbors say that they admire Mr. Romney's devotion to his family, but question why he bought a house on such a crowded, built-up street to begin with, and wonder how such an extensive renovation can be achieved without shutting down their narrow street for hours a day.
"There are plenty of other big houses they could have purchased," said a Dunemere resident who spoke on condition of anonymity, worried about antagonizing the Romneys and their friends. "This is a quaint little one-way street."
Mr. Romney has hired a lawyer to shepherd the project through the local zoning process and has spent about $22,000 to lobby city officials for various permits. But construction is not expected to begin anytime soon.
The Romneys rarely entertain neighbors, but they have tried to weave themselves into the fabric of local life. Mr. Romney and his wife take regular walks around La Jolla, exchanging pleasantries with fellow strollers and occasionally enforcing the law. A young man in town recalled that Mr. Romney confronted him as he smoked marijuana and drank on the beach last summer, demanding that he stop.
The issue appears to be a recurring nuisance for the Romneys. Mr. Quint, who lives on the waterfront near Mr. Romney, said that a police officer had asked him, on a weekend when the candidate was in town, to report any pot smoking on the beach. The officer explained to him that "your neighbors have complained," Mr. Quint recalled. "He was pretty clear that it was the Romneys."
[Speaking to neighbors Randy Clark and Tom Maddox, a Secret Service agent] broached another pressing matter: recycling. "We have cans and bottles we'd like to recycle," he said, explaining that the Secret Service was a vigilantly green organization, whenever possible. Mr. Clark offered to collect the group's recycling every week and take it to the curb along with the couple's trash. (Later, out of earshot, he wondered aloud why the Romneys could not handle the task.)
As the conversation wound down, Mr. Clark eyed a couple of Secret Service men polishing a black S.U.V. and playfully asked if they would mind washing his car.
One of them gave him a knowing look. "You'll be fourth in line behind Mrs. Romney," he retorted playfully. "She's always asking, 'When will you do my car?' "
Exactly the picture of the Romneys I would have expected. Piggish folks who don't give a damn about anyone but themselves. And why does Ann Romney think the Secret Service should be responsible for washing her car?

Brantley Sits Out Wednesday Scrimmage With Back Pain
Florida Gators quarterback John Brantley continues to miss scrimmages leading up to the first game of the season with a sore back. Gators Head Coach Will Muschamp said Brantley sat out Saturday morning's scrimmage, but WCJB TV20 has learned Brantley missed Wednesday's scrimmage as well, calling into the question the health of the Gators starter just 10 days before the start of the 2011 season.
Although the Ocala native has not played in the Gators most recent scrimmages, running back Jeff Demps says it should not affect Brantley for the September 3 opener against Florida Atlantic.
"I'm not concerned with him and his back issue," Demps said. "It gives him a chance to get back in the playbook and pick up the offense even better."
Muschamp says freshman Jeff Driskel is the current backup quarterback behind Brantley.

They probably used AR15's or 12 gauge shotgun slugs to put down the Tiger, and lots of ammo. I sure wouldn't want to face one with a .40 or a .45 acp. 338 Winchester Mags aren't always a sure stop on them.

I'm not as worried of the animals wandering inside the zoo as I am about certain two-legged animals prowling outside the zoo.
Quick story, as a case in point. Our family was visiting San Francisco in 1974 and we wanted to take the kids to the zoo. The problem was, the city was in a near panic because of the almost daily "Zebra killings" that were then occuring in broad daylight on the SF streets. The police were warning everyone to stay off the streets. But, being young and foolish, and wanting to make the most of our visit, we decided to take the kids to the zoo anyhow. The streets were practically deserted. It was geninely eerie. On the way and just before the turn into the road to the zoo we stopped at a red light. Two young black men on a motorbike pulled up right next to us and looked in our open window. The first thing I noticed (besides the hair standing straight up on my neck) was their menacing demeanor (they were dressed completly in black and had sunglasses on as well). Prominant were shoulder patches of "death heads" on their leather jackets. Just then, the light turned green and I sped off, quickly. After our visit to the zoo (it was practically empty) we went home. The next day the police broke the case and arrested numerous gang members. These guys were likely part of the gang as the patch was their gang insignia. Maybe they were trolling for additional victims? If so, I think we barely escaped before they could decide if to shoot or not. They were randomly murdering whites to earn gang "points".
Anyway, those are the types of animals who sometimes hang around outside the zoo and I now worry about. But in those days, nobody thought much of concealed carry - certainly not me. Everything seemed a lot safer then.

text: At 1500 mi I am starting to push my car harder and harder. At the performance center I drove an M3 on the track. I remember at the time it felt quite a bit faster than my car does. Is there some magic software, is the engine still to tight. Apart from the sport button is there some switch or sequence to make this thing really move.
