text: I have one of the Grandfather Oak pocket rigs for my Keltec. It works fine but I have found very few holsters that are better than the inexpensive Desantis Nemesis. I also have a FIST kydex pocket holster which is very slick with the thumb push off but once again, I usually go with the Desantis.

If a new LCM was not that expensive, I would have gone the recode route without second thought. I was able however to purchase a NEW LCM over ebay for $50 which I had it coded with Autologic for the LED. No issues at all.
But I removed that setup after finding on long trips the resistors and heatsink was heating to a point where I found it unsafe, thus using the EE resitor packs which seem to dissipate heat/power better as they don't heat up.
PS. it was inside a IP6 rated case, but the outside of the case started showing signs of melting

This week, the General Assembly returns to the Capitol for a single day to wrap up the 2016 legislative session.
While this time traditionally has been set aside just to consider whether the House and Senate should override any vetoes a governor might issue, we have begun in recent years to also use this time to vote on other bills that were unresolved before the veto recess. This year, the biggest of those is the state's two-year budget.
Long days, heated discussions, and budget negotiations marked the 13th week of the 2016 General Assembly. The Senate was in session three of the five weekdays while the Senate and House leaders used the other two days to work on budget negotiations.
The Senate is working diligently toward a budget compromise ensuring the people of the Commonwealth are not left without a state budget at the end of the session. We do not want to waste taxpayer dollars by calling a special session.
Since House and Senate leaders announced Thursday morning that budget talks had stalled, there have understandably been many questions from the public about what happened – and what is likely to happen next.
If the conflict could be boiled down to a single word, it would be "education." The House believes that, in an era where there is money to meet our core needs and fully fund contributions to our two main public retirement systems, schools and universities should not be cut.
We all know controlling what we eat is easily the hardest part of getting in shape. It's a lot more fun just focusing on the gym, and the training that feels good. It is the adrenaline pump. So let's check out these 20 dietary/nutrition tips that may help take the guesswork out of the hardest part of gaining lean mass!
For most people, eating is a slippery slope. Getting just the right amount of calories to maintain scale weight can be a challenge, and the dangers of over eating are everywhere.
Addressing Kentucky's underfunded pension systems was the top priority in the Senate's version of House Bill (HB) 303, the state's two-year budget, which passed the Kentucky Senate on March 23.
At the end of a legislative session, months of preparation and weeks of debate give way to a handful of days where the General Assembly and governor decide what will become law and what will have to wait.
It's a predictably busy time, especially when the budget is in the mix during even-numbered years.
Join us for a colorful good time! As the Community Health Educator at The Three Rivers District Health Department, I am excited to announce the award of $3,000 to promote and host a 5K Color Run/Walk. This will be a new health/fitness opportunity made possible by an Interact for Health mini grant that I wrote. Saturday, July 23, will be the day of the color blast at The Kentucky Speedway in Gallatin County as a central location for our serviced counties.
In one sense, Kentucky's budget doesn't change much from year to year. A little more than half of every state dollar, for example, goes to our schools, colleges and universities. Another fourth is dedicated to Medicaid and other health services, a little more than a tenth is spent on criminal justice and the final dime goes to everything else.
While there is relatively little discussion in the General Assembly about those ratios, there is often lively debate on the best way to move each major area forward.
After over two months of anticipation and debate, the Senate finally received the state budget bill from the House midway through the 11th week of the 2016 Kentucky General Assembly. Gov. Matt Bevin was elected in a landslide because the people of Kentucky recognized a need for financial change and fiscal responsibility. We think the upcoming budget will reflect those needs for the betterment of the Commonwealth.
Starting to exercise and keeping at it can be a real struggle. Here are a few ways that helped me to get and stay motivated.
1. Lighten goals
Sometimes when starting to exercise, your goal may be too big for you at that time. Make smaller goals (go to the gym three times a week, walk a mile, drink more water). Slowly change your exercise habits and eating habits. Doing everything at once can be overwhelming.
2. Track or journal your progress

The Takeaway
Real Baghdad Bomb Team on 'The Hurt Locker'
"The Hurt Locker" was undoubtedly the star of this year's Oscars, winning six awards, including Best Picture. The New York Times declared it the best American feature film yet about the war in Iraq. Cinematic awards are well and good, but how true to life is the film?
BBC correspondent Hugh Sykes met with members of the real Explosives Ordnance Disposal team in Baghdad, where they've been training the Iraqi Federal Police. Sykes joins us to talk about what their job is really like.

How Facebook Develops And Delivers
Posted by Tom Grant on January 26, 2011
- 429 Recommendations
- 0 comments
There are blog posts that you can write without doing any prior work (he says, looking meaningfully at himself in the mirror), and then there are blog posts that require real work. This very interesting post about how the Facebook development organization operates is in the latter category. Instead of pointlessly summarizing the author's findings, compiled from sources who know Facebook from the inside, I'll add a few reactions:
- If, as reported, the development team comprises about a quarter of the company's employees (and operations another quarter), that's an unusually high ratio for any tech vendor, whether or not it's in the software-as-a-service (SaaS) business. At salesforce.com, R&D comprises 15% of the company, which is high for the tech industry. Facebook's 25% R&D is staggeringly high.
- Even though Facebook regularly confuses the heck out of the people with changes to security features, the company does pilot features before shipping them.
- Facebook developers bear a lot of responsibility for their own code, across many dimensions of quality (design, testing, justification, etc.).
- The ops team has a more gradual approach to deploying new code than it might appear.
- There is very little central authority for justifying projects. I have a wee bit of skepticism about this part of the Facebook story as presented in this post. I'm sure that there are some initiatives or directives that come from a central authority (Zuckerberg or some other executive). For example, it's hard to believe that someone had to shop around the notion of a mobile application framework before it became an official project. There might be a lot of latitude for initiating projects inside Facebook's marketplace of ideas, but I'm sure that it's not quite as free a market as depicted.
- It's not clear from the post exactly what the criteria are for projects. It may not have been the ultimate point of the post, which is more the development and operations process, not the business justifications behind projects. Still, it would have been helpful to hear more about those criteria and how they get socialized or enforced within the company.
- It's also not clear if Facebook's own users have any role in suggesting or justifying projects. Weird, perhaps, for the most successful social networking app to have no input from its own community. Many, if not most, other SaaS vendors have a much more inclusive view of their community as a source of ideas and priorities.
What does it all mean? Assuming we can take everything in this post at face value, it's a picture of Facebook's future potential and limitations. This model is a good way to continue shipping lots of new code, within the definition of what Facebook does today. It does not, however, show how Facebook might move into a different market or a different business model.
Let's say, for sake of argument, that Facebook wants to increase its footprint within the business world. While Facebook is now a place for cultivating business connections and managing brands, it's not a platform for business applications. (Neither is LinkedIn, for that matter, for a different set of reasons.) Employees may compulsively check Facebook throughout working hours, to the point where it makes some employers uncomfortable. Facebook is not, however, the page from which employees launch business applications.
If Facebook made a lunge for greater corporate acceptability, its current strengths might easily become its chief liabilities. Marketing, sales, and channel relationships would quickly outstrip the capacity of a company this heavily invested in R&D. Major changes might be needed to build new capabilities into the Facebook platform to host business applications, or integrate with other business systems, or build greater confidence in Facebook's security policies and capabilities. Those changes will take the form of mandates to the development team, not friendly suggestions about their next projects.
That's assuming, again, that we have an accurate picture of Facebook's development and operations teams. If the truth turns out to be slightly different, that might be a very good thing for Facebook's long-term prospects.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX little changed as banks offset higher resources
TORONTO, April 4 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index closed little changed on Friday as a decline in the financial sector after a U.S. jobs report helped offset strength in commodity prices and natural resource shares. The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index unofficially ended down 9.11 points, or 0.06 percent, at 14,393.10. Five of the 10 main sectors on the index were in the red.

The game is becoming great with more potential growing.
I just like the game
I don't like the game with all the changes going on
I just hate the game in general.
MS is great now and i really like it
Evan with their dragons rock
Playing with friends was always fun. But having to grind all the time became depessing and boringg. Theres nothing else to do that's fun. Then again its been a while since ive played so i dont know all the new content.
It's soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo easy to level. I remember MS being grind central but recently I got to like 25 in just a few hours.
How is this thread even alive anymore lol
It's sooo much better now. I couldn't bring myself to level a character to 50, because the 40-50 stretch was so boring... spending an hour grinding only to have 5-10%. Now I have a spearman @ 53, getting 10% every 5 minutes!
I like how they've kept the challenge at the later levels too, I've seen some charts showing from 1-60 is 5x easier, and 120-200 is 2x easier, so the slope gets harder later, rather than detering newer players who have to spend ages getting their second/third class of job.

The most important difference between HTML and XHTML are as follows:
1. It allows an author to omit certain tags and use attribute minimization.
2 The Extensible Hyper Text Markup Language, or XHTML, is an application of XML (Extensible Markup Language). It doesn't allow the omission of the tags.This means that in XHTML we need to use

Product Highlights
The T-Max 60 from Coronado is used to de-tune a SolarMax filter towards the blue end of the H-Alpha line. This is accomplished by changing the angle at which the light passes though the etalon. The wavelengths produced by high-velocity events such as active flares and coronal mass ejections (CME) can Doppler-shift and become invisible to an H-Alpha tuned system. The T-Max unit allows the user to adjust the system slightly to make these phenomena more visible. This T-Max unit is designed to be used with Coronado's 60 mm SolarMax filter.
The T-Max is designed to be placed directly behind the SolarMax filter. It is comprised of two black plates, set screws, and a knurled knob. When the knob is adjusted, the two plates separate. One plate remains parallel to the telescope's objective cell while the other creates an angle between the etalon and the objective cell. The resulting angle is <0.7° - a greater angle would place the filter completely off-band. The T-Max unit is designed to deliver the optimal view within its range of adjustment.

Some notes about Saturday's girls basketball region final …
2A: Naples Community School (15-13) at Indian Rocks Christian (23-5)
WHEN: 7 p.m.
HOW THEY GOT THERE: NCS beat Shorecrest (65-31) and Naples St. John Neumann (49-28); IRC beat Lakeland Santa Fe Catholic (80-17) and Lakeland Christian (66-39).
OUTLOOK: IRC has never reached the final four. In fact, this is the Golden Eagles' first region final. Advancing on won't be easy. NCS' record isn't pretty, but the Seahawks aren't only the defending state champions but played a schedule that was among the state's most challenging -- it included three out-of-town tournaments. And then there's this: NCS finally is at full strength. According to the Naples Daily News, "Class 2A Player of the Year Michelle Woods returned in the district championship game after missing time with a foot injury." What does all this mean? Basically, that IRC has its hands full. Thus far, the Golden Eagles have been simply dominant in two playoff blowouts. The flip side to that is that the wins were over two teams that aren't very strong. Nonetheless, one can't dismiss IRC's postseason performance, simply because the Golden Eagles have been strong throughout the entire season. IRC's strength arguably is its offensive balance. On a given night, any of five players can hit double figures, which makes IRC difficult to defend. The primary playmakers are guard Tori Trador and forwards Rachel Burnett, Jessica Logemann and Kristen Scholl.

$10 more. If for some reason you can't figure it out, that works out to $149.99 on contract for a 25% discount. And speaking of Amazon, the online retailer has a list of the top new phone releases, and guess which handset is on top? That's right, the BlackBerry Z10. The Black version of the phone is numero uno, the big cheese, the top dog and the white phone is number 4. By the way, this is the unlocked version of the Z10 and beats out the unlocked version of the Sony Xperia Z which is number 7.
Returning to the discounted price for the BlackBerry Z10, it should be noted that unlike some offers, these prices are for customers opening a new account and for current customers updating an existing account. If you've been taken with the gesture based interface of BlackBerry 10, you might want to take advantage of these prices now.

Although it was the Flip Video which introduced the Internet video camera format to the world, in the UK Creative beat Flip to market. Now that attention is turning to high definition, Creative has yet again usurped Flip. Before we have the Mino HD in our hands, here is Creative's Vado HD, although Kodak's Zi6 beat them both by a few months.
Like the Zi6, the Vado HD only raises the bar to 720p, so it shoots at 1,280 x 720 rather than the 1,920 x 1,080 of Full HD. It still operates at the not-so-European-friendly 30 frames per second, but the top data rate has been doubled to 8Mbits/sec, which is reasonably decent for 720p video. The H.264 version of MPEG-4 compression is now used, further squeezing extra quality. Audio remains 16-bit, 44kHz mono, and the data rate has been increased here, as well, to 177Kbits/sec.
To cope with the increased data rate, the amount of onboard storage has quadrupled compared to the Vado, to 8GB. This is enough for about two hours of HD footage at the top HD+ setting, and four hours in standard HD mode, which halves the data rate to 4Mbits/sec with a very noticeable drop in quality. The Vado HD also supports VGA recording like its predecessor, and can store as much as 8 hours of footage in this format.
The method for changing shooting modes isn't immediately obvious, as there is no specific button assigned. Instead, you press Play and Delete at the same time when the Vado HD is in camcorder mode. You can then change the recording format, plus settings like time and date, or the frequency for anti-flicker (to guard against AC lighting pulsation). However, there are no traditional camcorder settings here, so no opportunity to change shutter, iris, and focus, or even apply scene modes. The Vado HD is intended for point and shoot alone.
As before, the lens is fixed, but this time it sticks out of the device a little more, which hinders pocket friendliness slightly. There is no optical zoom available, just a 2x digital one. So the image does get a little more blurry when zoomed, although this isn't quite as noticeable with 720p HD footage as it was with the original VGA format.

This is supposed to be a review of an imaging device. However, it was appalling to find that the entire assessment of image quality was so tiny that if you blinked, you would miss it!
What we have here then, is a 4-page regurgitation of the press release and product datasheet, garnished with a cursory 4-line sprint through image quality.
This does not deserve to be called a "review" of a product, let alone a "trusted" one. Seriously.....
Erm, okay... you seem a little angry. But I'm probably going to make you angrier here by telling you that you clearly missed the point about this product. Maybe you blinked a little too long. It's not meant for "seriously" anal types who measure the quality of every pixel produced. It's meant to grow the camcorder market towards those who just couldn't give a monkey's about that. All they need to know is - does this thing shoot decent or rubbish video, and under what conditions? This review tells you precisely that. Since there are no manual settings, you can't tweak it as with higher-end devices, so there is no way of adjusting performance. You point, you shoot. Why go into more detail on this aspect, when it is the other features which are more important in this case? I wouldn't even describe it as an imaging device, because its ability to upload straight to YouTube is equally, if not more significant. You would definitely not buy this instead of any "proper" HD camcorder, if you had the money. But for the target, non-specialist market it does the job intended pretty well. It would be better if it was more like 𧵎, though.
I just went to pixmania.com and bought one of these for £89, together with the correct case for £9. Add in the cheapest P&P option and the whole package came to about £106, which is a heck of a good deal compared with the prices quoted in the review.
Maybe Creative are about to bring out a new model or something, but I'm very happy with my purchase.
The review was very good by the way. A friend has one, which I have tried and it is great. However, a mini-tripod is essential, partly to overcome the problem of the USB cable attachment projecting from the bottom of the case and partly to get decent shake-free images.

He may be almost 60 years old, but Bruce Willis is still adding members to his family as his wife Emma Heming is pregnant with their second child.
Spotted with a very noticeable baby bump, the 35-year-old model appears to be several months along.
They've been rehearsing all week for their gig at "Saturday Night Live" this weekend, and Bruce Willis and Katy Perry joined forces for a silly promo clip.
The "Story of Us" hunk lead off, "Hi I'm Bruce Willis and I'm hosting 'Saturday Night Live' this week with musical guest Katy Perry."
He's had a long and successful career in Tinseltown, and this weekend Bruce Willis will travel to New York City to host "Saturday Night Live" for the second time (he also hosted back in 1989).
The "Pulp Fiction" stud filmed a few promo videos with SNL's Cecily Strong, one of which made reference to his "Die Hard" days.
Following in the footsteps of plenty of other A-list stars, Miley Cyrus and Tina Fey were announced as hosts for the upcoming 39th season of "Saturday Night Live."
Starting off the season on September 28th, the "Mean Girls" star will take the stage while the band Arcade Fire will serve as musical guest for the evening. This will be Fey's fourth time hosting the late night gig.
He's been having a blast making "The Expendables" films over the past few years, and Sylvester Stallone is actually happy that Bruce Willis just pulled out of the third installment of the action/adventure franchise.
Stepping out for their big UK premiere, the cast of "Red 2" arrived at Leicester Square this afternoon (July 22).
Dame Helen Mirren looked lovely in a stunning red gown as she struck a pose in the arrivals area.
Hoping to earn box office success with their action-packed sequel, the cast of "Red 2" attended The Cinema Society and Bally's screening at MOMA in New York City on Tuesday (July 16).
While Bruce Willis went casual in a black sweater and jeans, his lovely costar Mary-Louise Parker sported a short-sleeved little black dress.
Stepping out for a promotional appearance, the cast of "Red 2" showed up at the Westwood Village Theatre in Los Angeles last night (July 11).
Bruce Willis brought his lovely lady Emma Heming and hammed it up for the paparazzi ahead of the movie's July 19th release.

Wowzers, my latest track was approved in just 12 hours! I'd say the review team had definitely stepped up their game. Keep it up guys!
Congrats Lacisz! 100 is a great landmark. Now onto 1,000
As repetitive as this may get, I'm thankful for my parents unyielding support, and not just financially. They've inspired me to be and do whatever I set my heart to, and taught me to push through when faced with obstacles. I feel blessed knowing that I underwent two abrupt career changes (athletic injury and forced to switch schools..)yet my parents stood by me the whole way.
And now that I'm on my feet and doing what I love, they're still there listening to my work, giving me feedback, and wishing me the best. I wouldn't be anywhere or anyone without them. So thanks Mom and Dad
Wow, nice work AudioPizza! You'll be flying through these paws in no time
Here's my nomination! Why nothttp://audiojungle.net/item/peaceful-awakening/3237031

Hey Steven,
I try to remember that there will always be greater and lesser persons then ourselves. This could be in talent, opportunity, knowledge, resources etc.
I personally think the absolute worst thing one can do (for happiness sake) is compare ourselves and our work to others. It's noble to want to improve and desire success, but for me personally, true success was not in the number of sales I accumulated, but becoming free from the roller coaster of emotions that comes with comparison.
You see, jealousy and envy are the fruit of comparison. Alternately, inspiration is the fruit of admiration. All I can say is, I have learned to simply admire those beyond my own skill and talent and in doing so it fuels my life rather than draining it.
On AudioJungle, I am just as happy as I was three years ago; but I have become more grateful and appreciative over time. When it comes to AJ I have a personal rule: The only one I am allowed to compete with is myself, everyone else, I simply admire and appreciate.It keeps the heart free, and when the heart is free, creativity and inspiration flow so easily.
Wow, well said Tim. Clearly your AJ code has lead you down a pretty successful path. Not to mention your obvious resilience toward corruption and bitterness throughout the community.
Berlin – competition is certainly healthy, and there's nothing wrong with comparing your music to others. Just remember why you're comparing..to learn and improve. That's something that makes this community stand out. There are so many artist and different styles/tastes of music; the knowledge and experience you can gain from simply listening is limitless. Use the music and talent here for good.
Welcome to the jungle Josh! Good luck with your tunes and enjoy yourself
Hmm well I'd probably be focusing a lot more of my time on fitness and athletics, meanwhile trying to find an alternative creative outlet. Maybe I could do both and just take up parkour haha.
Welcome to the jungle, Stargazer! Can't wait to hear what you guys offer
This is actually a very comforting site. Nice work, it's a great idea!

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Now Playing - TV Show Talk' started by nyny523, May 2, 2012.
Have you watch this season? Oh that is right, most of the men are already voted out and on the jury.
I wasn't clear but my point is that I assume the producers HIGHLY encourage that it be a family member rather than just a friend or boy friend because its better T.V.
I've experienced some really crappy ketchup. I spent a summer in Israel and the ketchup was more like tomato paste. I spent a weekend with one family and they had two bottles of ketchup on the table at dinner. They had moved there from the US and the kid loved Heinz ketchup, which you couldn't get in Israel. The Heinz was for him and the other ketchup was for everyone else. When I got back home I mailed him the largest bottle of Heinz I could find.
All true.
But somehow I doubt your experience relates in any way to Kat's worldly experience.
Funny, but that was my EXACT thought. It's all about me. wahh wahhh. I take the two girls because I would rather spend time with them. I love seeing a good blindside, but when it's me...wahhhh...wahhh, I cry and blame everyone else.
Kim is definitely the traditional "best player" this season, but considering this group, I think she may have some issues in getting votes at the end. She's going to have to make sure she has the right two sitting next to her while making sure those she does get voted out don't hate her. If she had a jury of those that would vote based on objective game play, she would probably win quite easily, but I think she's going to have a jury that takes things more personally and that could be a hurdle for her.
I'm not sure any of the guys on the jury (except maybe Jay) could really be mad at Kim. Kim was never really in an alliance with the guys, so the fact that they all got picked off first shouldn't give the guys reason to be bitter at Kim.
However, now that Kim is having to cannibalize her own group, there are going to be bitter people going back to Ponderosa and infecting the jury pool. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out. I think if Kim gets rid of likable players (Sabrina, Chelsea) in order to sit next to less-liked players at the end, that could actually backfire on her.
Also interesting is the Tarzan problem. If Tarzan were in the final three, would he get all the guy votes just because he's a guy? Or would all the guys not vote for him because he sided with the women and helped get all the guys out?
I don't know. I know the guys who got voted off early were certainly not fans of Tarzan. I think I the guys probably wouldn't have any reason not to vote for Kim. I agree, she might have to worry about the girls. I know Kat is going to be pissed.
"the embodiment of the stereotype" was critical in that quote which you misrepresented as condemnation.
I accept your apology.
Kim manipulated Troy into getting rid of Mike, which really doomed the men.
I doubt that Tarzan would be treated favorably because he's the only one left wearing a banana hammock (or have the skid marks retired the hammock?).
Can the "producers" at Ponderosa tell these babies to grow up!?! lol
If you've watched the Ponderosa videos, have you noticed that Mike seems to want nothing to do with anyone else? He was asleep on the couch when Kat arrived and always seems to be eating at a separate table from everyone else.
Maybe she was thinking of this: http://youtu.be/bkExpbnjsX8?t=25s
I took your meaning as Kat justifying that stereotype.
If I misinterpreted your intention, I do, indeed, apologize, sir.
Obviously, you have had more experience dealing with crying women than the rest of us guys.
Yeah, "sob speak" is the only term I can come up with.
Upset women and little kids speak it fluently.
I do not.
Reminded me of that mother/daughter phone commercial. UGH.
I'm shocked that all the people here in love with Chelsea didn't die of happiness at minute 33
Even Tarzan called Kim "boss Lady". I don't think there will be any doubt at final tribal who was running the show.
Wasn't he sick? He seemed to mix with them the next day when he felt better.
Yeah they mentioned he was on antibiotics or something when they left to go to Savaii.
I've already deleted it. What happened?

Okay, since I live in Colorado Springs, should I hav emy STi tuned? I was wondering that since the stock ECU was most likely not tuned for this kind of altitude. And if I should get it tuned, where is a good shop to go to.

+1 on this. My bugeye runs like crap in open loop, can/does the dealer flash high altitude maps?

hi Guys
I'm moving my stock 02 impreza WRX to my new home in Toluca Mexico where she will be unique! she has always been at sea level, any suggestions on tuning?
It is quoted that all cars lose at least 25% POWER at this alt....
Tru3th - Look into high altitude turbos. They should have compressor maps with higher pressure ratios (2.5-3.0 OK), and low flow surge lines. Surge is a possibility at high altitude much more than at sea level due to the lower density air and higher boost we typically run. Remember 20 psi at 5280 is a pressure ratio of around 2.8, compared to a sea level ratio of 2.36. Some turbos really won't like that, overspeeding and ruining the bearings.
ktmrider - Sluggishness, especially if you can tell it's worse in open loop, is probably due to a mixture that's too rich. I suggest you get some wideband readings, whether installed and on the road, or even a tail pipe sniffer on a dyno. Tailpipe will run around 1.0 to 1.5 more lean than pre-cat, but you'll get an idea how rich it's running. Are you tuned, or is this the ECU? If you're just getting used to turbo lag, then welcome to the club. De-restricting your uppipe and exhaust will help immensely.
davidcommons - high altitude costs a lot of power. The SAE correction on the dyno usually adds around 50 hp to correct to sea level (stage 2 STi). The good news is that you can take more advantage of the turbo at low RPM. At altitude we can typically run 20 psi of boost without endangering the engine, since the absolute manifold pressure is still below what it would be on a slightly tuned stock car at sea level running 16.3 psi. The problem is in the turbo's compressor map (tho none exist for the VF series). 20 psi at altitude is a high pressure ratio (2.8). That high of pressure ratio pushes the speed of the turbo up, near the limits (if we knew what the limits were). Turbos get more of a workout, increasing the chances of them failing. Watch for oil consumption getting out of hand. It can mean failing turbo bearings. High altitude (high pressure ratio) turbos can last longer in this service, and provide better results. And get used to lag. You thought it was bad, but you had no idea.
On the open loop stuff, I did the home made grounding mod and seafoamed the engine, fuel system, and crankcase. Although I made 3 changes at once ( synthetic oil change ) I believe the grounding mod was the key. The car idles smooth as glass, first tank fuel mileage went up from 20 to 23, and it runs perfectly in open loop/when cold. I was extremely skeptical about the ground stuff but since I had a few hours watching the kiddos one morning I decided to do it. $15 and 1 hour later I'm all smiles!!!!

Repeated function evaluation?
Suppose I have a function f[x_,y_] := Module[{ }, . . .] where the
module is fairly time-consuming to evaluate.
If I call this function a second time in a given notebook using
identical values of the arguments x and y , is Mathematica smart
enough the second time around to recognize that it's already evaluated
the function once for those arguments, and use a stored value?
Or, if I want to use the values of this function for a given range of
arguments multiple times (e.g., replotting the values in different
ways), do I need to do something like
Do[ ff[x,y] = f[x,y], {x, x1, x2}, {y, y1, y2} ]
and use the values ff[x,y] instead?
Thanks AES

The chancellor's autumn statement outlined a raft of policies designed to get the UK economy moving again. With the Office of Budget Responsibility predicting that the economy will grow by just 0.9% this year and 0.7% in 2012, everyone is hoping that the chancellor's policies do the job.
During his statement the chancellor noted the economic importance of our cities which, he said, "are at the heart of our regional economies." The chancellor is right: The UK's nine largest cities generate 49.5% of the nation's GDP and just ten cities were responsible for nearly two thirds of English net private sector job creation between 1998 and 2008.
Despite this, there was little in the speech to give cities the fiscal freedom to develop their own solutions to the unique economic challenges they face. The chancellor made a commitment to "allow city mayors to borrow against future tax receipts"; though it is not clear if, or how, this is different from pre-existing tax increment finance powers.
Earlier this year the Institute for Government and the Centre for Cities published Big Shot or Long Shot looking at the ways in which cities can be empowered, beyond fiscal measures, to drive economic growth at the local level. The research recommends greater devolution of powers over planning, transport and skills to our big cities to enable them make the big infrastructure investments crucial to driving economic development. The report also recommends that mayors should be adopted in cities across the UK. It argues that only somebody with a direct, city-wide, electoral mandate can take properly strategic decisions about the future development of their place and coordinate the diverse range of players active in any big city.
This morning the Institute for Government hosted a discussion on Cities, Mayors and Growth at City Hall in London. Boris Johnson, the mayor of London, argued that mayors are a natural choice for cities. Power is inevitably dispersed in big cities and this "symphony of stakeholders" needs somebody with the authority and profile to "orchestrate" it. Johnson described how he was able to capitalise on the publicity generated by the Royal Wedding and secure sponsorship for projects across the capital.
Michael Heseltine painted a vivid picture of the time he spent in Liverpool talking to the city's people after the Toxteth riots. It didn't take him long to realise that the big problem was "nobody was in charge". Heseltine added that the hoarding of power within Whitehall departments creates "functional monopolies". This distracts us from seeing our cities as self contained entities that require a holistic policy approach.
Andrew Adonis asked the 110-strong audience of journalists, wonks, and government officials if any of them could name the leaders of Liverpool, Leeds and Birmingham. Only Dermot Finch, ex-director of the Centre for Cities, could manage it. The marked anonymity of our provincial leaders stood in stark contrast to the profile of the mayor of London; for Johnson his job is to "sell London to the planet".
In May next year, eleven of our largest cities will go to the polls to decide if they want to be run by directly elected mayors. Yet there is still uncertainty over the powers these mayors will have. By making an offer of additional powers now, the government could increase the chances of a yes vote. Perhaps then our provincial cities could take up the mayor of London's challenge to begin really competing with the capital on the economic stage. Cities taking control of their own futures is an essential element of any truly comprehensive growth strategy.

What Are You Celebrating This Weekend?Elance_Alex | Jul 02, 2009
But our nation's birthday isn't the only cause for celebration on the fourth – it's the idea behind independence that has professionals worldwide celebrating.
Providers, here's some food for thought: In the U.S. job market today, roughly 42 million workers are independent contractors, part-time or temporary staffers, and/or are self employed, and with over 300 million people alive in the states, that means almost one out of every eight Americans holds one of the aforementioned titles. If you're a freelancer, contractor, consultant, or anything in between, this means you!
The shift to online work as a professional job becomes more apparent with each day that passes. As communication and internet technologies continue to become faster, more stable, and more ubiquitous in society (and as the economy continues to prove that it's not the most stable of entities), one can only expect the 42 million to grow at a brisk pace. And when you consider the advancements in online work tools, maybe the word "brisk" will be too much of an understatement.
Statistics are easy to brush off as "just a bunch of numbers", but it's hard to ignore real-world examples. Scott Young got laid off from a teaching position and started a career as a consultant in graphic design on Elance. Since he's based out of San Francisco, which has one of the most expensive cost of living rankings nationwide, Scott was naturally worried about going independent. After having success finding clients all over the world, he is now making a full-time living and truly loves being "independent".
And the door of opportunity is wide open for employers and self-made entrepreneurs. Bernstein analyst Jeffrey Lindsay laid out the concept of what happens when the internet and capitalism intersect. "Anyone with just basic knowledge of the Internet will be able to start a business," Lindsay said. Couple that with the fact that one in four workers who have not found jobs are considering launching a business (according to a CareerBuilder.com survey), mix in a fantastic idea and a dash of moxie, and you have yourself a growing concoction that breathes independence. By the way, this particular business-centric concoction would love to see the number of contractors jump from 42 million to 100 million.
So when you're out and about this weekend partaking in the summer festivities, take a moment out to celebrate independence – not just for the good ol' U. S. of A, but for yourself, the independent professional.
Have a happy and safe Fourth of July!

There have been recent changes with Google AdWords that effects many customers by increasing there bid amounts on a certain keywords. These changes accord when Google changed its algorithm last month.
Advertisers who were paying 5 cents are now paying 50 cents or even more to keep their positions, others are paying the same amount but their places changes two or three pages back. However, this have not been effected all advertisers as some stay not effected. This summarise the type of site that have been affected.
- One page sales letter websites.
- Squeeze pages.
- AdSense sites (particularly those involved in AdSense arbitrage).
- Affiliate sites.
The algorithm gives a quality score to the landing page of AdWords. Here are 3 general methods that will help advertisers who have been affected by the recent updates.
- Provide quality unique content.
- Put your AdWord link on the best page that describes your products.
- Make links from other page of your website to the AdWord page so its not look like a one page website.
Also you got to remove all AdSense ads from the AdWord landing page and make sure that it contain more than 500 words and there is no form to fill in. As you can see Google is getting smarter everyday so must not trick the search engines but to have truly valuable info to our visitors.

The International Finance Corp, the World Bank's private sector arm, plans to issue local currency bonds in 10 African markets from next year to build capital in one of the world's fastest growing regions.
Jingdong Hua, vice president and treasurer at IFC, said the group is looking at Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana, Zambia, Rwanda, Namibia, Botswana, Uganda, Kenya and the West Africa franc bloc.
The bonds would be priced in the likes of South Africa rand, Botswana pula, Nigerian naira, Ugandan shilling or Zambian kwacha rather than the US dollar or euro, Hua told Reuters in an interview.
The project could prove a boon to Africa which is growing on average at 5 to 6% a year and is eager to develop transport and power infrastructure. But financing has been hard to come by for these capital-intensive projects.
Triple-A rated IFC will offer proceeds from the bond sales to companies seeking financing in the countries, Hua said.
"We will have something coming up in the market soon but it's too premature to disclose which country," he said.
While IFC has been involved in local bond markets in West Africa, it is now pursuing multi-year agreements with governments that would allow it to issue bonds whenever market conditions permit or when financing is needed for projects.
That would avoid the need to seek approval each time it wants to issue local currency debt, Hua said.
Despite a swathe of financial reforms over the past decade, Africa's local bond markets mostly remain underdeveloped and too thinly traded for most foreign investors or to meet the growing funding needs of small and medium-sized companies.
Domestic bond issuance in Africa is mainly confined to governments or state entities and foreign-affiliated banks, while investors are mainly banks or local pension funds. "It's a no-brainer. Only when a country develops a fully-functioning financial system can money and finance flow efficiently giving the private sector many choices depending on the nature of their financing needs," Hua said.
"Only the capital market has the scale to channel the amount of money needed for infrastructure financing, we're talking $500 billion to $1.2 trillion," said Hua.
IFC's involvement could spur inflows from foreign investors who want to diversify from low-yielding Western bonds but often view local African debt as too risky despite high yields.
African issuers have been successful in raising financing in international markets, with Zambia's debut $750 million Eurobond this year garnering bids of around $12 billion. Earlier dollar bonds from Nigeria and Namibia also were oversubscribed.
Hua is confident local bonds could have the same results in future. He points to Asia where countries used the 1997-98 financial crisis as an opportunity to develop domestic capital markets to insulate them from future economic shocks.
IFC's involvement could spur inflows from foreign investors who want to diversify from low-yielding Western bonds but often view local African debt as too risky despite high yields. Nigerian 5-year naira bonds for instance yield over 12%.
That is the case especially with cash-rich but risk-shy pension funds. "You have $30 trillion in pension money that could be tapped, so just imagine you switch one percent of that pension money from developed market to developing market, that's $300 billion dollars," said Hua.
"The fact that IFC goes to the country and says we want to issue a bond - this triggers the development of an enabling regulatory framework from the bottom up," he added.
Hua acknowledged however that high nominal interest rates, making local financing costly, is a deterrent for companies. "Governments have a responsibility to tame inflation, to ensure macro economic stability therefore with a long term goal of lowering nominal interest rates," he said. "Only when the nominal interest rate is lowered within single digits does local currency financing become much more viable."

My hair is 2a, fine/med texture, med/dense, normal elasticity & porousity.
I have been using Yes to Carrots shampoo, Mop C Curl Defining shampoo, Burt's Bees Avocado Butter as a LI (been using this for a long time as a leave in before I went CG and never had an issue with it), GVPCB as a RO, Shea Moisture RSBRC as a LI, and Marie Dean Vanilla Lemon Mousse as a LI. I've also been doing DT with SS Deeply Decadent.
I don't use styling products as I haven't found one yet that doesn't either weigh down my hair or give me an itchy scalp.

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
I was just looking for this information for a while. After 6 hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it in your web site. I wonder what's the lack of Google strategy that do not rank this type of informative websites in top of the list. Normally the top websites are full of garbage.
I like the valuable info you provide in your articles. I'll bookmark your blog and check again here regularly. I'm quite certain I will learn many new stuff right here! Best of luck for the next!
Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but instead of that, this is wonderful blog. A fantastic read. I will definitely be back.
I haven¡¦t checked in here for some time as I thought it was getting boring, but the last few posts are good quality so I guess I will add you back to my daily bloglist. You deserve it my friend :)

A lot of people say positive things about Pres. Chavez — you know, he stood up for his people, or you know, he really tried to help the poor…
But he is joining the ranks of the insane — Evita, Mao Tse-tung, Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-il, Lenin, etc. in these great halls of permanent worship.
This is always just a miserable idea — the setting up of legends and hero worship and promoting it with this eternal corpse sitting there. It insures some aura of personality cult remains and it implies the continued domineering of the government through extraconstitutional means by his comrades.
Venezuela's Vice President Nicolas Maduro has announced that the late President Hugo Chavez will be embalmed and his body displayed forever in a Caracas military museum.
Mr. Maduro compared the late president to other revolutionary leaders whose bodies also have been preserved, including Russia's Lenin and China's Mao. He said President Chavez will lie in state for seven more days to give more Venezuelans the chance to pay their respect.
President Chavez will be honored at a state funeral Friday, attended by 30 heads of state. The United States is sending a diplomatic delegation.
Thousands of grieving Venezuelans waited for as long as 10 hours to look at Mr. Chavez's body in Caracas.
Mr. Maduro will be formally sworn in as acting president late Friday. He will likely face off in elections to be called within 30 days against opposition leader Henrique Capriles, who lost to Mr. Chavez in the October presidential polls.
Any society which is interested in practicing democracy but also wants to set up cults of personality and embalm a controversial ex-President for permanent display has some soul searching to do.

2012 Chrysler 300 Ruyi Design Concept news, pictures, specifications, and information
Chrysler Brand Commemorates Return to China with Premiere of Chrysler 300 Ruyi Design Concept at 2012 Beijing International Automotive Exhibition
• Chrysler brand returns to China wîth multi-awarded Chrysler 300C and world-renowned Chrysler Grand Voyager
• Sales of production Chrysler 300C sedan to begin in June 2012
• Chrysler 300 Ruyi design concept blends modern American design and technology wîth tradition-rich Chinese symbols
April 23, 2012 , Beijing
- Today, the Chrysler brand announced its return to the China market at the 2012 Beijing International Automotive Exhibition. To commemorate this important occasion, Chrysler unveiled the 300 Ruyi design concept, a vehicle based on the innovative Chrysler 300C sedan and catering to the tastes of Chinese customers.
The ruyi and its significance in Chinese tradition inspired designers in creating the unique concept vehicle especially for China. Ruyi means 'as one wishes' and takes the form of a curved decorative object, like a scepter, that symbolizes prosperity. A ruyi is often crafted of precious materials wîth beautiful design, carrying a promising meaning of abundant good fortune.
'We celebrate our reentry into China wîth a vehicle that symbolizes an auspicious beginning for the Chrysler brand,' said Saad Chehab, President and Chief Executive Officer – Chrysler Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. 'By integrating our distinctive American design and technology wîth timeless Chinese inspiration, we are lòòking to attract an emerging set of customers who are driven and dare to be different. We look forward to gathering the reaction of Chinese customers to the Chrysler 300 Ruyi, to surprise them wîth future models incorporating elements that we can see today in this design concept.'
The Chrysler brand also displayed the 300C sedan and Grand Voyager MPV – the first two models to arrive for sale in China. The Chrysler 300C Luxury Series will be equipped wîth an eight-speed automatic transmission mated wîth the award-winning 3.6-liter Pentastar® V-6 engine and will begin sales in mid-2012, while the Grand Voyager is planned to follow in the fourth quarter of this year.
Since 1925, the Chrysler brand has delighted customers wîth daring American design, leading technology, craftsmanship and premium features ever since the first Chrysler vehicle was sold. Now the brand is returning to China wîth a promise to deliver upon those values, wîth a proposition that exceeds expectations.
Chrysler 300 Ruyi Design Concept
Cultural cues from the Chinese ruyi were the inspiration behind the Chrysler 300 Ruyi design concept. Looking to enhance the car's upscale and urban composition, designers started wîth a Maximum Steel exterior color and added dark chrome to the exterior door handles, grille surround and lower grille tracer.
The premium Chrysler wing badges and headlamps contrast wîth low side sills, rear fascia and dual exhaust tips, giving the car an elegant yet sporty look.
Final exterior touches include a polished ruyi-inspired signature grille wîth dark chrome throats, bluish steel-grey tinted glass (to be in harmony wîth the Maximum Steel body color), a ruyi Chinese character badge on the deck lid and a ghosted speed stripe running along the side character lines.
Probably the most exotic exterior feature, and one that pays direct homage to the ruyi, are the proud 22-inch concept alloy wheels. These ten-spoke wheels feature spokes designed wîth a curvature reminiscent of a ruyi scepter. The spoke faces are polished wîth dark chrome pockets, and the Chrysler wing badge is placed on the center caps.
Interior appointments are given many unique finishes like black chrome on the outer dash vents, navigation screen and center dash vent surrounds, gauge rings, §teering wheel rim and door handles. Brushed patterned trim is incorporated in the center console, upper door panels and flanking the dashboard. Machined metal accent trim is found surrounding the shift gate, both center console storage areas, upon the door and on the §teering wheel spokes.
Highlighting the interior are custom seats wîth light-tone leather-wrapped seating surfaces wîth suede center inserts and side bolsters. Contrasting French stitching, black piping and a ruyi-inspired cloud form (embossed onto the seat backs) complement the sophisticated interior appointments.
The Chrysler 300 Ruyi concept is equipped wîth the 'Engine of the Year' 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels.
A traditional ruyi has a long S-shaped handle and a head fashioned like a cloud. Ruyi symbolize authority, prosperity and good luck in Chinese tradition, and they date back to the Han Dynasty in the first century AD, especially flourishing during the Qing Dynasty (starting in the 17th century) when they became highly valued gifts. Ruyi are often associated wîth cloud motifs and can be found in art and architecture, appearing in knot and rug patterns, sculpture, paintings and even modern corporate logos.
Chrysler 300C for 2012
Integrating the first eight-speed automatic transmission in a Ú.S. luxury sedan, the 2012 Chrysler 300C sedan offers world-class technological innovation, craftsmanship and quality while delivering stylistic distinction, fuel efficiency and premium E-§egmènt sedan features at a legendary value.
Arriving to China will be the Chrysler 300C Luxury Series, designed to be the most luxurious and fuel-efficient Chrysler flagship sedan ever. Exclusive interior features include ultra-premium leather and hand-sanded matte wood trim, power-adjustable front seats, and ventilated and heated front and rear seats.
On the exterior, large polished-face aluminum wheels and platinum-chrome accents give the Chrysler 300C Luxury Series an upscale look. Premium amenities include the §egmènt's largest touchscreen infotainment system and many more state-of-the-art amenities and connectivity features.
The Chrysler 300C Luxury Series features the ZF 8HP45 eight-speed automatic transmission paired wîth the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine for better power, performance, refinement and fuel efficiency.
The Chrysler 300C is available wîth more than 60 safety and security features and recently earned the highest five-star safety rating from the Ú.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for front driver and overall vehicle scores. In addition, the Chrysler flagship sedan was named a 'Top Safety Pick' by the Ú.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The Chrysler brand was named the 'Most Ideal Popular Brand' in AutoPacific's 2011 Ideal Vehicle Awards, based on Ú.S. owners' ratings of their 2011 cars and trucks.

In 1955, Chrysler introduced the C300. The 'C' stood for coupe and the 300 was the horsepower rating of the original Hemi engine equipped with , two four barrel carbs, solid lifters, special manifolds, and enlarged dual exhausts. This vehicle gave the Chrysler Corporation a performance and sporty image, a much needed persona in this post World War II era. Many European manufacturers, such as Jaguar and MG, had introduced high powered, small, responsive sports cars. American manufacturers countered with the Chevrolet Corvette and the Ford Thunderbird. The Chrysler 300 was a performance car with a contemporary 'Forward Look' designed by ex-Studebaker stylist Virgil Exner. The design was void of the popular chrome sides which was prevalent during this era. It was simple but aggressive gentleman's car.
The Chrysler 300 was outfitted with a hemispherical (Hemi) combustion chamber 5.4 litre V-8 that produced 300 horsepower and matted to a performance modified two-speed 'PowerFlite' automatic gearbox. The body came from the New Yorker; rear quarter moldings were compliments of the Windsor. The two piece grille came from the Imperial. An improved suspension was implemented to provided sporty and responsive handling. The base price was $4,055.
Sales of the C300 were fueled by its success on the stock car circuit. The C300 dominated the sands of Daytona Beach, Florida where it won the stock production class and took home the Tom McCahill trophy. From 1955 through 1957 it was the fastest American car.
In 1959, a 300D driven at Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats by Norm Thatcher set a new Class E speed record of 156.387 mph. During the same year, Brewster Shaw achieved a quarter-mile time of 16 seconds with a trap speed of 94 mph at Daytona Beach, Florida.
For 1956, Chrysler increased the displacement of its Hemi engine to 5.8 liters and changed the name to 300B. With 355 horsepower, the V8 engine had one horsepower per cubic inch, an achievement that very few manufacturers were able to claim.
The letters continued to climb the alphabet annually until the 300L of 1965 (the letter I was skipped). They became known as the 'letter cars'. In 1959, the 392 hemi was replaced with the 413 cubic-inch Golden Lion wedge-head design engine. In 1962, the 300 Sport series became available along side the 300H. The 300, without a letter designation was continued until 1971. In 1970, the 300 Hurst was produced, built by Chrysler and modified by the Hurst Company. The modifications included two-tone paint, special striping, spoiler on the deck lid, and wheels. The 300 name was again revived in 1979 as the 300 Special Edition, but endured a short life span. It was based on the Cordoba platform and available only in white with red leather interior.
Even with eleven years of production, less than 17,000 were produced. The bodystyle's available were either a two door hardtop or convertible. The convertible was not available during 1955, 1956, and 1963.
In the early 2000's, Chrysler revived the model name with the 300M. For most 300 enthusiasts, it is a good attempt, but far from the original 300's. The original 300's, as argued by some MOPAR enthusiast, is considered to be the first muscle cars. Although they were fast, they were also large and luxurious, qualities that muscle cars did not typically process. The 300 did get American moving on the fast track to the horsepower and performance revolution, and looked good while doing it.

In 2005, the wave of retro design that is still shaping American cars first washed over Detroit. American companies, with their stale product offerings, began looking towards their rich pasts to inspire new models with the design and flair of long-gone icons. It was in 2005 that Chrysler launched a modern iteration of the famed 300.
The 300 name had actually been revived by Chrysler several years before the 2005 300's introduction as a car called the 300M, but that model was dated even when brand new and didn't evoke nostalgic memories in the same way its replacement would. The 2005 300 was a total departure from the Chrysler models immediately preceding it. The sleek, low slung, 'cab-forward' design language of the 300M and others was replaced by the new 300's brash and blocky look. The 2005 Chrysler 300 was not merely an updated version of a bygone classic, but rather a revival of Chrysler's attitude during the company's most exciting times.
The new 300 went back to a rear wheel drive platform and reintroduced the muscular proportions of America's former bad-boy sedans. Available V8 power rounded out the package and a large, upright chrome grille stood proud in grand American fashion. The 2005 Chrysler 300 was met with great fanfare and positive press. For as exciting a car as the '05 300 was, though, it could barely capture the style and spirit of the car that inspired it. The original 300 was one of the most thrilling Chryslers ever released. It was a car whose inspirational design and performance will be lauded forever and whose legend will continue to be respected by Chrysler workers, owners and admirers, as well as by the flashy new car that shares its name.
Produced without interruption from 1955 through 1971, the Chrysler 300 in its earliest form was one of the very first muscle cars. Though production extended into the early 1970's, the best-known (and best-loved) 300s were the 'letter series' cars of 1955-1965. All 300s were part of this letter series until 1962, when both letter and non-letter variants were offered through 1965. Models made from 1966 on were not part of the letter series. Each Chrysler in the letter series used the 300 designation followed by a single letter. That letter ascended alphabetically once every year, making it up to 'L.' Confusingly, the first of the series was not called the 300A but the C-300. In that one instance, the letter 'C' simply stood for coupe. Revisions on the C-300 theme created the 300B for 1956, then 300C for 1957, 300D for 1958, and so on. The only other snag in the letter series system was the use of the letter 'J' for the 1963 300, instead of the 'I' for which the car was due. Chrysler likely used the 'J' nomenclature to prevent confusion between the letter 'I' and the Roman numeral I.
The letter series 300 introduced potent performance and a fresh design to Chrysler, whose other models had grown stale. In that sense, the original 300 arrived for the same reasons as 2005's remake. The name was chosen for bragging rights. Chrysler, with its aptly named C-300, had become the first American manufacturer to develop 300hp in a production car. That power led the 1955 Chrysler to become the fastest production car in the world, reaching 127.58mph at Daytona Beach. The C-300's engine was a 331ci Chrysler V8 with hemispherical combustion chambers and two 4-barrel carburetors. The aforementioned 300hp was achieved at 5,200rpm.
There was much more to the C-300 than formidable speed. The car was large, luxurious, and packed with comfortable features. At 220 inches in length, the C-300 was huge for a two-door. A weight of 4,300lbs gave it the bulk of a personal limousine. Its two speed automatic transmission required no effort on the driver's part. The car was rolling evidence that speed and luxury were not mutually exclusive traits. The C-300 was the fastest car on the road, and it may very well have been the most comfortable.
A superb combination of performance and comfort alone would have made the Chrysler C-300 a classic. But the car's quality didn't stop there. Designed by the talented and innovative Virgil Exner, the C-300 was a triple threat of sumptuous luxury, speed and, and style.
Before moving to Chrysler, Exner had worked for GM under the guidance of Harley Earl and for Raymond Loewy's own design firm. His experience led him to be a daring designer, but the 1955 C-300 was a subdued design. It was handsome and understated, free of the garish detailing the plagued so many of its contemporaries. With its regal proportions and proud stance, the C-300 separated itself from lowlier cars that used glitz and glam as their only stylistic values. A split egg crate grille, in chrome, dominated the frontal aspect of the C-300 and had a tastefully minimal chrome bumper running beneath it. The subtle fins picked up just aft of the doors and beneath the beltline. At the rear, the vestigial fins flowed into vertical taillights. With a base price above $4,000, buyers paid dearly for a fine congregation of elegant design, comfort, and rapidity.
Even more power was made available for the 1956 300B. A 354ci V8, at first making 340hp, was available with 355hp by the middle of its run—making it the first American engine to produce 1 horsepower per cubic inch. Three transmissions were offered: PowerFlite and TorqueFlite two-speed autos, and a three-speed manual.
Performance improvements in the 1956 300B were complemented by the availability of an even more comfortable interior. Air conditioning was offered as well as a clock in the steering wheel for the particularly punctual. And, of course, if the clock wasn't distracting enough, a record player could also be ordered.
The styling of the 300B featured a revised rear treatment, but the car was largely the same as 1955's C-300. For the 1957 300C, though, Exner thoroughly revamped the 300's shape. The new design was more brash but still tasteful and clean. It featured more pronounced fins and a quad headlight face with a large, one-piece egg crate grille. From the side, the 300C looked particularly good. Its long and low proportions were readily revealed from that angle. Also easily noticeable from the side, the 300C had a forward tilt to its front end that was mirrored by a rearward tilt to its fins. The balanced look was an Exner hallmark that worked wonderfully on the 300C. A convertible version was offered whose absence of a roofline emphasized the trapezoidal side profile of the 300C's body. A top speed of 150mph could be reached by the 300C.
For 1958, a 300D was introduced. It looked very similar to the 300C, but big improvements were still made. Fuel injection became an available option and power brakes were standard. With 380hp, the 300D could be propelled to 156mph. The 300E of 1959 offered similar styling but with a very different engine. The hemi-head V8 was replaced by a 413ci wedge-head V8.
The 300F brought major styling changes for 1960. While other companies toned down their use of fins for the 1960's, Chrysler gave its 300F a wild, one-year-only rear treatment with razor sharp fins. Ralph Nader, in his book Unsafe at and Speed that most famously criticized the Chevrolet Corvair's poor handling, called the 300F's fins 'potentially lethal.' Automotive writer Quentin Willson offered good reason for Nader's concern in his own work titled The Ultimate Classic Car Book, pointing to a 1963 traffic accident in which an unfortunate motorcyclist became impaled by one of the fins of a 300F.
With a front end that looked slightly awkward compared to the noses of its predecessors and a heavily criticized faux spare tire cover incorporated into the rear deck lid, the 300F's overall look lacked the thoroughly clean appearance of earlier models. But from the side at least the 300F still looked good, and performance and comfort were as impressive as ever. Up to 400hp could be had from the 413ci engine. A beautifully finished interior continued a tradition of comfortable motoring. The interior was so inviting that the seats literally offered themselves to driver and front passenger, automatically swiveling to allow easy access whenever a door was opened.
The 300G was brought out for 1961 and was the last finned 300. The front end retained four headlights, but they were now stacked two per side in tilted columns. Standard power windows and cruise control further enhanced an already excellent list of convenience features, and performance options remained similar to those of the 300F. The 300H used the following year was similar in most respects to the 300G, but had a fresh tail design with a smooth, tapering deck where once stood fins. Production of the 300H was unusually low even for the exclusive letter series, but sales were bolstered by the introduction of a more affordable non-letter series variant, named simply the '300.'
For 1963, the letter 'I' was skipped and the 300J was introduced alongside a revamped standard 300. The 1963 models were plainer, with square styling that belied their still capable performance. The 1964 300K and 1965 300L were the last two models of the letter series. By 1965, the plain styling of the 300L and the narrow performance gap between it and the base 300 had created an uninspired package. After 1965, the letter series was discontinued.
The garden variety 300 soldiered on until 1971, losing sales and substance as it went along. Chrysler couldn't have picked a better time to pull the plug on the aging model, as allowing it to last any longer would have exposed it to stringent emissions regulations that instantly would have robbed the car of the only virtue it really had left—power. Even the very last 300 had a 440ci V8 that had a tremendous output compared to any American offering of the mid-1970's.
History has ignored any shortcomings of the largely average 300 produced from 1966-1971, focusing on the raw power and suave personality of the early letter series. Few American cars before or since have been able to offer so much speed and luxury wrapped in a shell of aesthetic excellence. From 1955 through 1959, the 300s were the uncompromised rulers of the American automotive kingdom—even the 1960-1965 models were superbly executed. Inspiring the successful 2005 Chrysler 300, the early letter series cars have shown that sometimes history is worth repeating.
