The horse's program number, which generally but not always is the same as its position in the starting gate. (The exception: when there is multiple-horse entry coupled in the betting, such as 1 and 1A.) Always bet by program number, never by post position.
At most North American racetracks, the saddle towel for each program number reflects standardized color-coding - for example, program No. 1 is always a red saddle towel, No. 2 is always white, No. 3 blue, etc. Because most track programs aren't in color, the color of the saddle towel is helpfully spelled out under the program number.
What oddsmaker Mike Battaglia believes the horse's price will be at post time, based on betting. It's what he thinks the public will think of a horse's chances.
The individuals or groups owning the horse.
The colored shirt jackets worn by jockeys that show a distinctive color or design of an owner. These 'colors' are made now from nylon or polyester.
The person officially in charge of the horse and its welfare at the racetrack. Next to the trainer, in parenthesis, is his or her record during the current meeting, listing total starts followed by firsts, seconds and thirds, and the win percentage.
The horse's name.
Designates where the horse was born - Kentucky in this case.
Designates that the horse is running on a medication, Lasix, which is intended to prevent bleeding in a horse's lungs during the race. The 'A' means the horse also is running on an 'adjunct' anti-bleeder medication.
The weight that the horse must carry under the race conditions. Weight includes the jockey, plus saddle, silks, helmet and safety vest.
Jockey, with his or her record at the current race meet in parenthesis. Note changes in jockeys: A change for the better (i.e. to a more successful jockey) might indicate the stable thinks the horse is ready for a big race; a change for the worse if the previous jockey moves to another horse that the rider might think has a better chance of winning. However, jockey changes can also be the result of prior commitments or other reasons.
The horse's record for the current year. The first number refers to starts, followed by wins, seconds and thirds and followed by purse money won.
The horse's record for the prior year.
The horse's career record.
This is a horse's career record at the track where it's racing and over the designated surface there (in this case dirt).
Click here for full article and to learn about 'Horses for courses'.
Horses in this country race on both dirt and turf (as well as synthetic or 'all-weather' surfaces, which are marked the symbol A in a diamond, but which are not broken out in Churchill's track program). Because some horses thrive on or hate turf when it has a lot of moisture, the program also breaks out horses' records on 'wet' turf.
If you pay attention to only one thing, make it a horse's record at the distance that it is running that day. This line shows a horse's career record at that distance on the surface over which it is racing (grass or dirt), regardless of track condition. Unless they come in from Europe, it's almost a certainty that a horse will not have raced the Derby's 11/4 miles before the first Saturday in May.
The official colors of registered thoroughbreds are:
Bay (abbreviation is B).
Dark bay/brown (Dk B./Br.).
Chestnut (Ch.).
Gray or roan (Gr/ro).
White (Wh.), but it's very rare.
Black (Bl.), also very rare.
For descriptions of each color, click here http://www.jockeyclub.com/registry.asp?section=3#color
c.: colt - male horse 4 years old or younger who still has his testicles
f.: filly - female horse 4 years old or younger
h.: horse - male at least 5 years old who still has his testicles
m.: mare - female horse at least 5 years old
g.: gelding - male horse of any age who no longer has his testicles
ri.: ridgling - a horse who has either 1 or 2 undescended testicles or has had one testicle surgically removed.
The first name listed is the horse's sire (father), followed by the dam (mother), followed by her sire (father).
A horse is bred in the state or country in which it is born, not where conception took place. The breeder - whose name appears after 'by' - is the person or entity owning the mare at the time of birth. The date in parentheses after the breeder's name is the horse's actual birthdate, although North American thoroughbreds have a universal birthday of Jan. 1 to determine racing eligibility.
Date of race and the abbreviation for the track at which it was held. Sun is for Sunland Park in New Mexico. Other common ones: CD - Churchill Downs, Kee - Keeneland, TP - Turfway, FG - Fair Grounds, OP - Oaklawn Park, SA - Santa Anita, GP - Gulfstream Park, AP - Arlington Park, Aqu - Aqueduct. A black diamond in front of the track abbreviation means it is outside the United States and Canada, with the country's abbreviation in parenthesis.
Click here for the entire list of racetrack and training center abbreviations.
You can get an idea from looking at the dirt track if it is 'fast' (dry) or wet. But within wet - also known as an off track - there are various stages, and they can have a big impact on certain horses' performances. 'gd' stands for 'good,' meaning the track has absorbed some moisture from rain but is not muddy. 'my' is muddy. 'sy' is sloppy.
If there is no symbol here, it means it's a traditional dirt track.
Triangle A - An all-weather track, also called synthetic or engineered, meaning it has synthetic components such as rubber, carpet fibers of silicon-coated sand. Note: Synthetic tracks have only one track condition: fast.
Click here for more on synthetics and other surfaces.
T in a circle - Turf (also called grass) course.
Circle with an X - A race that was scheduled to be on turf but was taken off the grass and run on either the dirt or synthetic surface.
The first number indicates the distance of that particular race, in this instance the 1 1/8 means 1 1/8 miles. 1m means 1 mile; 7f is seven furlongs (a furlong is an eighth of a mile). The raised number by the distance is how far the gate is positioned from when the actual timing of a race starts. All but the most sophisticated handicappers can ignore this.
The fractions show how fast the horse in front at that stage was running. These are known as 'points of call,' with the last fraction always being, naturally, the final time of the winner. After decades of timing in fifths of a second, timing now is done in hundredths. The :45 (raised 03) is 45.03 seconds. That's the half-mile time, with the 1:10.89 being the six-furlong (or three quarters of a mile) time.
How do you know what fraction reflects what distance?
Think of 12 seconds per eighth-mile as being a loose standard. So anything close to 24 seconds, whether it's 21.25 or 27.25, is for a quarter-mile. Anything around 48 seconds is a half-mile; 1:12 is six furlongs: 1:36 is a mile. Note that the longer the race, the slower the fractions are going to be.
To judge how fast or slow a pace is, very loosely think of the 'par' time being 12 seconds per eighth-mile (a furlong is one-eighth of a mile). So for instance, 48 seconds would be an average half-mile. Anything must lower than that is a fast pace; anything higher is slow, though keep in mind the longer the distance of the race, the slower the pace logically will be throughout.
The horse's age at the time of the race. Note that the universal birthday of all Northern Hemisphere-born horses is Jan. 1.
Head out to a racetrack on any given day, and you'll probably be wagering on what's known as a claiming race. On Oaks and Derby days, the Churchill Downs program is chock-full of stakes races, big-money events that attract the best horses. In between you'll find different classes of races.
Click here for more about how owners and trainers figure out where to race their horses.
Speed figures seek to rate numerically how fast a horse ran in a race, taking into account variables such as track condition. The idea is to be able to compare horses coming from different racetracks and different track conditions. The higher the number, the better. These are Equibase figures (helpfully shown in bold type), but the concept was popularized by former Washington Post turf columnist Andy Beyer's figures carrying his name and published in Daily Racing Form.
This is one way to try to pick winners, but make sure the pace scenario also works for your horse. On the other hand, there are front-runners, and then there are horses who are truly very fast and their natural talent puts them up near the lead. These numbers help you see that. Churchill Downs oddsmaker and C-J handicapper Mike Battaglia suggests if fans want to look at only one thing, see which horse ran fastest in its last race. Others suggest betting the horse with the best average over its last three or five races (to account for throw-out races).
But bear in mind, though speed figures? intent is to take the variables out of determining how fast a horse is, because they are calculated by humans, they still are subjective. Respect speed figures, but be suspect of horses who show an extraordinary change (especially upward). If a horse has strung together two or three wins, but the speed figure in the last race drops significantly, that?s a red flag that the horse is tailing off.
This column shows what position a horse was in after breaking from the starting gate.
The next several columns show its position, with the raised number being how far it was behind the leader at that stage. For instance, an 8 (raised 5) means it was eighth, five lengths behind the horse in front. This quickly charts how a horse ran in a race, where it made a move, and perhaps where it faded. The last column is where that particular horse finished, with the raised number being how far it won by (if it won), or how far it was behind the winner (if it lost).
Pay attention to an asterisk. It means a horse was involved in a disqualification, either moving up or down in the order of placing.
To learn about Pace Makes the Race and running styles, click here.
The weight (in pounds) that the horse carried. The weight a horse carries is spelled out in the requirements of a race (known as conditions).
This describes the equipment and medication used by a horse in a particular race.
b - blinkers worn in that race.
f - front bandages worn.
L - raced on anti-bleeding medication known as Lasix.
B - raced on the anti-inflammatory known as bute.
To learn more about the equipment and medication used in a race, click here.
Horse's final odds, based to $1. The asterisk in front means the horse was the favorite in that race, regardless of the odds.
Order of finish, showing the top three finishers and the margin between each horse. If the horse's name is in italics, it means that horse won its next race. Horses whose names are in bold type are entered in the same race the subject horse is in that day.
The small number reflects the number of lengths a horse is either behind the leader or, if it?s in front, how far in front it is of the second-place horse. No ? nose; hd ? head; nk ? neck (which also is a quarter-length). A length is the distance from a horse?s nose to its tail, about 8 feet. It is also the measure used to show the distance between horses in a race.
Pay attention! This describes a horse's races - and excuses - in fewer characters than a tweet.
Here you'll find out if a horse had an excuse, such as having to race extremely wide, acted up in the starting gate, was 'steadied' or 'checked' (momentum stopped) or was boxed in. Or no excuse, such as 'no threat' or 'no bid'. This is also where it says if the horse was moved upon the disqualification of another horse or moved down because of his own infraction.
You'll also see a lot of numbers followed by a 'w'. That means how many horse paths wide the horse was off the inside rail in the race.
Number of horses in that particular race.
Many race fans come out to Churchill during Derby Week for the fun of Dawn at the Downs. They're watching something that goes on most mornings at racetracks and training centers across North America. The program lists timed training at various distances, which helps the trainer and fans know if a horse is ready to run. Click here for more about workouts.

Best Of :: People & Places
In any local music scene, a band announcing a new album with a CD release party is like somebody celebrating a bowel movement. Everybody does it, some several times a week. However, when the band known as Haggis wanted to draw attention to its latest CD, Karma Suits Ya, it did so with a stylish sense of the occasional that made the CD release parties thrown by established indie labels seem like empty gestures.
Not only did Haggis play two back-to-back CD release party blasts at Hollywood Alley, the Tartan Four held a not-so-secret listening party at a local British pub. Haggis fans were spared bagpipe music this time around and were treated to goodie bags, raffled tee shirts, free drinks and food provided by the British Open Pub and Guinness. It was a Bacchanalian blast that made you swear it was 1975 and the Faces were launching a tour.
The Haggis name was reinforced at the buffet table; what people thought were Swedish meatballs was actually the national dish of Scotland. Yup, boiled sheep's intestines, although the delicacy has been known to include sheep's lung, stomach, heart and liver in casings, depending on their availability in the U.S. and how many transplanted Scots are in line ahead of you, waiting for baa-baa's innards. The move was sheer genius. Years from now, the band's fans will remember which Karma Suits Ya song was playing the first time they ate haggis.

How could one guy hurt so many people and maintain the highest approval rating of any elected official in the county? We've gotta hand it to you, Sheriff Joe: You are one fine politician. We'd like to bottle the sheriff's elixir and sell it for those interested in doing good, rather than evil, but for now we'll applaud Arpaio for making the decision not to run for governor this fall. The mark of a good politician is not just knowing when to run, it's knowing when not to run -- and somewhere beneath all that hair grease, Arpaio must have had some self-awareness (or some political consultant) telling him his record in office just wouldn't have held up in the shadow of the governor's race.
Joe Arpaio's not going to win any awards for promoting human rights, and like others we've elected, he's dangerous. But as a politician, he's got all the rest of you losers beat.
Really, we're not making this one up. Court Rich is a first-year associate at Nearhood Law Offices in Scottsdale, and a recent graduate of Arizona State University's law school. Since he'll be specializing in business litigation, he may even see the inside of a courtroom -- a rarity for a lawyer these days. But will he be rich? Remains to be seen, although he does have a head start in the public relations department. Turns out Court Rich is the brother of Jordan, who's married to Jason Rose, who runs a PR firm in Scottsdale. And Rose can already see the ad on the back of the phone book: "Need to go to court? Want to get rich? Call Court Rich. 1-800-COURT-RICH."
So often, people in our (un)fair city use their power for evil. We're happy to celebrate a couple of powerful Phoenicians who, as far as we can tell, do nothing but good.
Instead of building skyscrapers, Cindy Dach and Greg Esser are busy constructing culture. Dach is director of events for Changing Hands Bookstore in Tempe. Esser runs the public art program for the City of Phoenix. Thank Dach for bringing Amy Tan, David Sedaris, T.C. Boyle and Dr. Andrew Weil to town for readings. Expect Garrison Keillor this fall. Esser gets credit for that cool mountain-like bridge over the 51 and the public art coin project along Central Avenue.
On the side, Dach writes fiction and Esser paints. In their spare time this year, they created two of the city's most vibrant art spaces.
Dismayed by the lack of artist-run galleries in the Valley, earlier this year Dach and Esser opened eye lounge, in a building they bought and refurbished. The space -- at 419 East Roosevelt, next to Modified Arts and across from the Paisley Violin -- quickly became a favorite stop on First Fridays, and, in September, Esser opened 515, a spin-off gallery just a few doors down from eye lounge.
We can't wait to see what Dach and Esser do next. We're exhausted just thinking about it.
A few blocks north of Phoenix's business district sits Trinity Cathedral, the 82-year-old Episcopalian church that houses the perfect getaway for those looking for some artistic time off. Between the cathedral itself (surprisingly modern and warm inside) and Bishop Atwood Hall you'll find the Cathedral Center for the Arts show space, a light, narrow gallery that makes for the perfect aesthetic refuge. CCA hangs art there regularly, oftentimes the work of lesser-known artists, and the quality of the shows is consistent.
But it also offers a kind of cathedral-like quiet that many downtowners seem to crave; the gallery's guest book is salted with thanks from midday visitors for providing an oasis where they can sit, look and ponder. Now the secret's out.
And another tip: The brickwork labyrinth in the courtyard -- modeled after one at the medieval Chartres Cathedral -- makes for another neat diversion, especially for the kids.

It would say it started syncing show 20gb worth of music on the little bar ( I know alot of music but I love music hence my name) and it says could not find it, and then the bar goes back down. It only syncs stuff I personally copied from a cd. All of the other music my dad copies and then just uploads it to a family storage(stora) I can listen to it in the library I just have to log in to the stora and show it where it is at. I never had problems with my 4 so I don't know why it is now having issues. (Both itunes and iPhone are updated to the most recent version.)

Shark Injector with 3.46 Diff
Hello, I shark injected my car a few weeks ago, and i was thinking of picking up a 3.46 differential for my 330ci. I was wondering if i can install the differential without the software being affected? Thanks.
I know very little of the Shark, but I don't think you will have any problems caused by the 3.46 diff and shark.
Thank you!
The two systems are not related electronically, you'll be fine. Did you feel any difference with the Shark?
You will not have any issues with doing that, actually it'll be a great match to the diff taking the revs higher.

Let me see if I can help at all for porosity.
Low - takes a long time to dry (naked hair, no product)
High - dries quickly
Low - hair doesn't wet easily
High - wets easily, quickly soaks up water and product
Low - when you run your fingers up a strand, it feels smooth (similar to when you run it down a strand), can squeak will you run fingers up a strand
High - when you run your fingers up a strand, it feels rough
The amount of time it takes your hair to dry can also be affected by density. Damaged hair also usually has high porosity. Low porosity is also typically shiny and reflects light well. High porosity tends to be duller.
You may also want to try clipping while plopping. It keeps the roots lifted but still gets the benefit of your hair being upside down.
I have a similar problem where my hair looks awesome out of the plop and then the 2b-2c waves fall back into being 2A as them dry. I attribute most of it to length of my hair pulling out the waves. I did just buy some mousse that I plan on trying for the first time since being CG. I'll let you know if it works!
Wave Pattern: 2A
Hair Properties: Normal/Low Porosity, Medium Density, Medium Texture w/Fine Straight Underlayer
Co-wash: Suave Naturals, Cure Care
Low-poo: Renpure Brazilian Keratin
Rinse Out & Leave In: Tresemme Naturals
Gel: LA Looks Mega Mega Hold Gel, Garnier Fructis Spray Gel

Cardinal Franc Rodé, Prefect of the Congregation for the Religious, and the person charged by Pope Benedict to conduct the Apostolic Investigation of U.S. women religious congregations, last March ordained six new deacons for Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest at the institutes mother house in Gricigliano, Italy, near Florence, Italy.
Looking at these photos, one is reminded of the cultural, ecclesial, and socio-psychological diversity that make up our church. Living, as we do, in the early 21st century, we should recognize we are products of a mix of complex and unprecedented pre-modern, modern, and post-modern influences and temperaments.
Looking at these photos, one is moved to ask if Cardinal Rodé, who, according to John Allen's profile, is a charming person and a product of old European, Slovenian, anti-communist forces, is, indeed, so far removed from contemporary U.S. cultural and social settings, that he cannot possibly fairly fathom the lives and work of our women religious. The cardinal, whose penchant for a traditional, monarchical, European styled, pre-counciliar church, is clearly evident in these photos, told John that Vatican II triggered "the greatest crisis in church history." Our women religious have dedicated their lives to carrying out the council's mandates of service and reform.
Looking at these photos, one is reminded that multi-culturalism is a central ingredient in our church and world today, requires understanding, patience and special tolerance. It is also true that judgment leads to judgment, and that's why growing numbers in our communities are asking, "Who, exactly, is this man who has been commissioned to judge the souls, lives, dedication and faith of our women religious?"
Looking at these photos, one can hardly avoid the conclusion that the Apostolic Investigation, as currently structured, and carried out is tragically flawed, and could cause irreparable damage to our church unless wise minds figure out a way to call it off.
Read more about it on the web site of the New Liturgical Movement.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration filling, if exposed to "acidic chemicals and a high temperature environment," the cover of the fuel pump strainer could crack and cause a gasoline smell in the minivan or possibly allow the fuel to leak out. Denso supplied the fuel pumps on the vehicles, and the report says that Honda first began studying the problem in October 2012 but didn't finally confirm the cause until March 6, 2014. The recall affects 886,815 Odysseys, and Honda has received 187 warranty claims related to the issue. However, there have been no fires or injures reported.
Unfortunately, Honda says that it currently doesn't have enough replacement fuel pumps to fix all of the vehicles and doesn't expect to have the parts ready until this summer. It's sending a letter to owners telling them about the recall and is sending a second notification when the pieces are at dealers. The entire notification including affected VINs can be viewed as a PDF here, and the shortened version from the NHTSA can be viewed below.
Report Receipt Date: MAR 14, 2014
NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V112000
Component(s): FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
Potential Number of Units Affected: 886,815
Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s)
Manufacturer: Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (Honda) is recalling certain 2005-2010 Honda Odyssey vehicles manufactured June 23, 2004, through September 4, 2010. In the affected vehicles, the fuel pump strainer cover may deteriorate allowing fuel to leak out.
A fuel leak increases the risk of a fire.
Parts to permanently repair the affected vehicles are not currently available. Honda will notify owners with an interim letter during April 2014. A second notice will be mailed to owners when the remedy becomes available, currently expected to be during the summer of 2014. Any vehicles that are currently leaking from the fuel pump cover will get a replacement, original cover. All vehicles, including those receiving the interim repair, will get an improved cover when they are available. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009. The recall numbers associated with this campaign are JD9 (inspection and/or preliminary part replacement) and JE0 (final parts replacement).
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Find it difficult to focus on work after lunch? You are not alone! Many office goers complain of reduced productivity in the hours after lunch.
Why do you feel tired after lunch?
There could be a variety of factors causing you to feel sleepy after lunch:
- What you eat plays an important part in deciding your energy levels. While some foods can boost your energy, others can zap it out. Junk food, sugary food or fatty food will make you feel lethargic and sleepy. These foods increase your blood sugar causing your body to release more insulin. This in turn triggers tryptophan, a kind of amino acid, known for its role in producing brain messengers or neurotransmitters related to sleep and relaxation.
- Have you been getting adequate rest? It may seem obvious but if you've been having stressful and sleepless nights, you're bound to feel sleepy during the day. Try getting at least 6 -7 hours of sleep every day.
- If you have been eating healthy and are getting adequate sleep, you could be suffering from an illness. Sometimes, low fitness levels or some underlying disease could be responsible for draining you out. Your doctor should be able to detect this easily.
Tips to feel energetic after lunch
- Watch what you eat: Junk food is a strict no no. Stick to a low carbohydrate and high protein diet. In simple terms, it means potatoes, white rice and pasta are out and sprouts, beans and cabbage are in. Keep your meal portions small as large meals require more effort to digest.
- Save the alcohol for the weekend: Even if it's an office party and you can have a glass of wine or beer, if you are expected to get back and work, it's preferable to stay off the alcohol.
- Take a little walk after lunch: Walk off your drowsiness by taking in some fresh air. Apart from getting rid of your lethargy, it's a good way to include some activity in your daily schedule. Especially if your job involves sitting in one place.
- Minimise your caffeine intake: I know coffee seems like a great perk-me-up, but the more coffee you consume, the more immune you get to its effects. Switch to water. Many people don't feel thirsty in an air conditioned office and end up dehydrating their bodies.
- Make sure you have breakfast: One cannot stress enough, the importance of having breakfast. Studies show that people who have a healthy breakfast are mentally and physically more active than those who skip it.
It may be hard to believe that such simple changes in your lifestyle can magnify your energy levels drastically. Don't believe us? Try them out and let us know!

Stage 1 -14.2psi....
Hey everybody!
Im moving quickly through the modification check list and i was hoping to find out weather or not i'm on target! As theres no better sourse of knowledge and expirance here i am! so the car is an 04 WRX with a K&N typhoon and a greddy 3" Catback i recently installed my AP (stage 1 91oct) and she's haulin some ass!! i'm making 14.5 psi at full boost.
Now i have a Invidia catless up and a HKS catless down ready to be installed when ever i pull the trigger... buuut!! i would like to make sure i'm on target for the proper numbers as i've read that running more than 15psi on the stock turbo becomes a bit risky and i'm pretty much there after the Stage one..
So you guys think this is right were i should be? have any of you ran similar numbers with similar mods? should i go ahead and go catless?? or are there some issues i should know about before i pull the trigger!!
Any and all feed back is welcome!
Thanks boys!
hahahah ps this is friggen awesome--->:beatentod

I haven't heard of any issues running more than 15 psi on the 04's. If I'm remembering correctly the COBB Stage II will push you up to 16.5 psi, Stage I is around 15 +/- a bit. You're on target right now and Stage II won't be a big strain on the car. Tons of guys here are Stage II and higher.
i am liking what im hearing!!
My stage 2 on my 07 was around 17-18PSI, not a single problem at all. When I pulled my stock turbo off for upgrade, my shop said I had one of the cleanest used turbos that they had ever seen. Granted I only ran stage 2 for about 6-7 months and never beat on the car too much either.
Let us know what gear you're in when you hit 14.5. For me, first and second gear are around 14.5-15. Third and 4th is where the boost climbs to the target 16.5.
first and second gear i boost to about 13.8psi and in thrid and fourth i boost to about 14.4-14.7psi but this is still stage 1
I'm running on my 04 about 15.3 at max boost in 3rd gear with about your set up plus i got my catless up and down on. im making 256whp and 249wtq with a tune and no turbo problems at all. (8months with this set up with out the tune) and ( about 2 month with the tune)
i appreciate the info guys, i really wanted to make sure i'm in the right spot before i moved forward.. i kinda just went and picked everything up all at once..ended up getting a better deal that way. i'm stoked as it gets tho..stage 1 was impressive...i'm thinkiin stage 2 we'll be serious!!
I have a full turbo back, K&N SRI, and cobb stage 2 flash via the AP on my 02 bugeye. Like others have said, I get about 14-14.5 psi in 2nd and 3rd (don't even punch it in first because I'm afraid of breaking the gear, so don't know bout boost in that one). 4th and 5th gear I'm usually around 16.5 max boost, although the most I've recorded was 17.3 psi. O yea, and I have close to 100k on her with no problems! Yes I have a stock tranny with a heavy duty clutch that's been on for the last 50k miles. (Who said it had a glass tranny:nono:) Anywayz, don't worry about your turbo boosting to much, your engine is bullet proof, and even if you fry your turbo (which I doubt you will) upgrade to a bigger an better one.!Thumbs Up Careful with the launches though, tranny is the only thing ya need to worry about.
^Very bad info. The engine is not bullet proof. Negliance will kill any engine.
[quote=turmic;243415]^Very bad info. The engine is not bullet proof. Negliance will kill any engine.[/quote]
I guess it depends how literal you take my statement (when I say bulletproof, I mean it's a solid engine). His orignal question stressed more concern on his stock turbo over boosting, which with his setup and stage 2 tune after the DP is put in, is NOT going to hurt the engine unless there are some unforseen problems. The real worry would be hurting the turbo if anything, but that's an easy and fairly inexpensive upgrade depending what you choose. My point is: if there is a strong part to a wrx, it's gotta be that little boxer (I don't think its the tranny). And I do agree, "negligence will kill any engine".
Preap Sovath thanks you all.
So how is the Stage 1? Is it a big difference? Enough to get you a better 0-60, 60ft, 1/4 mi ET?
Stage 1 should not be considered a speed improvement, because it's not. It's a drivability upgrade. All it does is smooth out the powerband.

I hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing Memorial Day Weekend!
Most importantly, I hope you paid tribute to our veterans.
We are so blessed that so many have fought for the freedoms we have.
We work every Saturday, so after we finished Brandon and I headed out to the pool to soak up some sun and relax.
Sunday morning some of our best friends arrived and the guys headed over to the country club for a round of golf while I took the girls to pick strawberries.
It was their first time ever going to a you-pick farm, and they loved it!
We almost convinced them to leave the city life behind and move to the country...almost.
After we picked strawberries, we went to the pool to have some much needed girl time and catching up.
After the guys played golf we all swam in the pool and then headed down to the river shoals to play for a while.
We ate too much...ribs on Sunday night and burgers and grilled chicken with all the fixins on Monday.
Our visit was a blast, but too short! We love these people and are blessed to call them friends.
We're already planning our next reunion!
We also ate this delicious homemade strawberry pie with the fresh berries we picked.
It was SO good!
Just in case you missed the recipe from the past, here it is:
- 1 9-inch pastry crust (baked) I used a pie crust.
- 1 quart fresh strawberries (divided)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
4tablespoons corn starch I used 5 tablespoons.
- 3/4 cups water
- 1 lime (juiced)
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
Step 1
|Hull the strawberries. Slice half of the berries, and set aside. (You should have about 2 cups of sliced berries. I used 2.5 cups.) Place the remaining berries in the bowl of a food processor. Process until very finely chopped. (You should have about 1 cup of pureed berries. I used 1.5 cups.)
|Step 2
|Arrange the sliced berries in the baked pastry shell. Set aside.
|Step 3
|In a medium saucepan, combine the pureed berries and 1 cup granulated sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Whisk the corn starch into the water, and gradually add to the strawberry mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring constantly, for about 10 minutes, or until mixture is considerably thickened. Remove from heat; stir in lime juice. Pour mixture over prepared pastry shell, spreading evenly with a spoon. Chill for at least 4 hours.
|Step 4
|Just before serving, whip the cream, 2 teaspoons granulated sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Serve chilled pie with a dollop of whipped cream and additional berries or lime wedges, if desired.

Gaztronomy was established 25 years ago by Gary and Susan Fraser. Gary did his apprenticeship at Florentino in Melbourne in the early 1970s. He was head Chef at "John Smiths" which featured the new fixed price trend of the early 80s with a very limited and detailed menu. After starting a family they decided to return to the Valley to be close to family. It was not long after, that Gaztronomy was born.
They have lived through the ever changing styles and trends of restaurant cuisine. From the traditional French and Italian influences of the early 70s, cuisine minceur and nouvelle cuisine of the 80s and the Asian styles of the 90s and the slow food movements harking back to the real country, no gimmicks pure foods and of course molecular gastronomy using chemicals and artificial means of cooking and presenting food to visually impress rather than nourish the diner.
The Valley has changed considerably in this time, but the needs of the diner remain the same, although there are many more dietary needs these days. Fresh quality ingredients, local if possible and a good variety of dishes to appeal to all tastes. The Restaurant menu changes seasonally to present the freshest produce to reflect the needs of the diners eg hearty, slow cooked tagines and stews for winter, lighter salads and grills for the warmer months.
Every month "International Gourmet Nights" are held to present different cuisines from different countries. These are very popular as it gives our diners the opportunity to experience different styles of food in a very informal and social way.
Gary and Susan have traveled extensively and have experienced firsthand the culture and cuisine of many of the countries that they have featured.
The opportunity to expand on this popularity bought about the extension of the Restaurant with the introduction of the "Gazbah", a Mediterranean/ middle-eastern style tapas restaurant. Plush, casual decor with traditional lanterns and unique fittings provide a perfect venue to escape from the rigors of our busy lives. " It is the oasis on the north side". It is their favorite style of cuisine. Gary had experienced this style of cooking first hand, under the guidance of a Lebanese woman known only as "Madam", in the early 70s. When he spent some time at the Omar Khayam and also through his friendship with Australia's "Sultan of Spice' Greg Malouf (Gary's very first apprentice). They would all visit the few Middle eastern restaurants in Melbourne together, because at this period in time Greg had not embraced his heritage so uniquely and gone onto the huge success that he is today. Their love of this casual, very social style of eating still existed and was one that was missed very much when they first moved to Morwell in the early 80s. They are excited about the Gazbahs future in the Valley.
Gaztronomy is casual during the day featuring more simple dishes featuring many old favourites and also current specials from the night time menu designed to be served quickly when most diners have limited time.
It becomes more formal at night with white linen cloths and serviettes. The menu has a good mix of more simple faire and also some more unusual dishes for the more adventurous. Over the years they have found that many of their loyal customers keep coming back for their old favourites. They may no longer be on the menu, but can often be accommodated after a phone call with a few days notice to request their favourite dish.

Doctors See Victims of Heat Exhaustion
Unless you've been locked up in your house the last few days, you know ... It's hot outside. Now local doctors are beginning to see the first few victims of heat exhaustion. They say it takes the body two to three weeks to adjust to these conditions.
They say if you're going to work or play outside, start slow and drink lots of water ...no matter how old you are. "It doesn't just affect the older people," said Dr. Tony Gonzales of University Medical Center.
"We see young people coming in with the same type of problems. Everyone needs to be aware. It affects everyone, so please hydrate and keep cool." Headaches, nausea, and fatigue are a few of the symptoms of heat exhaustion. If you begin to feel these, Dr. Gonzales recommends using ice packs and a fan to cool off.
If need be, call your physician or go to the emergency room.

Installing a drain for a new tub on existing slab
I am installing a jetted tub in an existing bathroom. I have the water lines and electrical run to the tub deck area. What is needed to tie into the existing drain line. I have several to choose from. 1 shower drain ( the furthest away ) 1 sink drain ( the closest ) 2 seperate toilet drains ( 1 is much closer than the other). This is on an existing slab floor. I am aware of the concrete saw and the jack hammer that are necessary. This is an older home that I am remodeling. The existing plumbing is galvanized, the drains are cast iron. Is there a way to tie in the new drain going pvc to cast iron. If so what is the easiest way?
Use a fernco coupling that is designed for this transition.
as far as to which drain to tie into I would tie into the one that is closest to the tub. less concrete busting the better but always a good idea to check on venting and pipe size (2 inch min.)
I agree this is your best option

Classical Tuesdays in Old Town is back in 2011, and to celebrate the New Year, the concert series is bringing chamber music ensembles from the Tacoma Youth Symphony Orchestra (TYSO) for the first time ever to invigorate audiences with these talented young musicians.
According to Classical Tuesdays in Old Town Executive Director Pamela Ryker, the best of best are selected from the hundreds involved in the youth symphony to participate in this special local event. "The young musicians audition for this in the beginning of the year, and those who placed highest in orchestra, several of whom are in Tacoma Youth Symphony Orchestra, were placed in small chamber ensembles. The event is under Dale Johnson's direction, he will organize the chamber ensembles and be the emcee for the evening."
The participating musicians in the Jan. 11 Classical Tuesdays event are:
Katelyn Berg, Janae Monfort, Caitlyn Fukai, Esther Noh, Sarah Yamamoto, Elizabeth Smith, Julie Chang, Clara Fuhrman, Paul Shields, Gloria Lee, Evan Hulbert, Henry DeMarais, Julia Byeon, Emma Parkins, Eugene Lee, Ana Campo, Levi Golan, Sarah Blackner, Wesley Newsome, Sydney Campbell, Jonathan Galle, Andrew Johnson, Jenni Chang, Alice Yang, Iver O'Neil, Jesse Kuras, Thomas Hawthorne, Samuel Dale, Lauren Sensel, Lydia Robinson, Bryse Paffile, Nicholaus Falck, Mathias Palmer, Sameul Becker, Braden Waddell, Stephanie Reusch, Garrett Vose and Sameul Horn.
These talented young artists will be playing a variety of trios, quartets, strings and mixed ensembles, including pieces by Haydn, Handel, Barge, Danzi, Turina, Beethoven and more.
Though this is the first time young TYSO musicians have graced Slavonian Hall for a Classical Tuesdays event, this is not the first time young artists have taken part in the seasonal series. "We're delighted to have them here," Ryker said. "We have had the Stadium High School brass band before though, and they packed the halls."
In the past, some Classical Tuesdays events have been geared toward adult audiences, but with young talent in the fore, this particular event will appeal to music appreciators of any age. "This event will appeal more to families, yes," Ryker affirmed. "And the families of the performers, but I think that all ages will appreciate this. We need to celebrate our young talents here."
Classical Tuesdays in Old Town featuring Tacoma Youth Symphony will take place Jan. 11 at 7 p.m. at Slavonian Hall, 2306 N. 30th St. in Old Town. The event is free, all ages are welcome and there will be free coffee, hot chocolate and cookies. For more information, call (253) 752-2135 or visit http://classicaltuesdays.blogspot.com.

This concise guide to naval history and naval records is essential reading and reference for anyone researching the fascinating story of Britain's Navy and the men and women who served in it. Whether you are interested in the career of an individual seaman, finding out about a medal winner or just want to know more about a particular ship, campaign or operation, this book will point you in the right direction.
Simon Fowler assumes the reader has little prior knowledge of the Navy and its history. His book shows you how to trace an officer, petty officer or rating from the seventeenth century up to the 1960s using records at the National Archives and elsewhere.
The book also covers the specialist and auxiliary services associated with the Navy – among them the Royal Marines, the Fleet Air Arm, the naval dockyards, the WRNS and the Fleet Auxiliary. In each section he explains which records survive, where they can be found and how they can be used for research. He also recommends resources available online as well as books and memoirs.
His handbook is a valuable research tool for anyone who is keen to find out about the career of an ancestor who served in the Royal Navy or was connected with it. Simon Fowler is a leading authority on military and family history and a prolific writer on these subjects. He once edited the National Archives' family history magazine Ancestors. For nearly 20 years he was an archivist at the Public Record Office (now The National Archives).

The Century Foundation's Defeating the Jihadists: A Blueprint for Action builds on the findings of the 9/11 Commission and provides a detailed plan for creating a more secure world. It is essential reading." & #151;Bob Kerrey, president, New School University Defeating the Jihadists: A Blueprint for Action, the report of a task force assembled and chaired by Richard A.

Budget blows a chance to deal with cost of ageing
Page Tools
The tax reduction money could have been invested in an intergenerational fund (as is done in New Zealand) to produce the money needed between 2020 and 2050 for pensions, hospitals, pharmaceuticals, nursing homes, etc.
Australia's elderly already have low incomes by comparable first world standards. If future treasurers continue in Costello's vein, the next generation of disadvantaged retirees will probably receive miserly pensions and be unable to access the standard of care which they should receive because governments have wasted billions on healthy, high-income, working-age people.
Brent Howard, Rydalmere, May 12.
Thank you, Mr Costello, from all the people who have benefited from the tax perks and giveaways in the budget. It's unfortunate that you consider the low-income earners - pensioners in particular - have less clout and voting power, otherwise you would have done something to help them, too.
Iolanda Grey, Glenhaven, May 12.
Blessed are the middle class for they shall inherit the surplus.
Zuzu Burford, Heathcote, May 12.
If the Government is serious about helping working parents, rather than giving a $3000 maternity payment, why doesn't it allow splitting of income across financial years to provide tax relief to parents who take time out of the workforce to care for children?
For example, if a parent worked full time and earned $60,000 in the 2003 financial year the tax liability would have been $15,580. If he/she took a year out of the workforce in 2004 and was allowed to split their income across the 2003 and 2004 financial years, then the tax liability on the $60,000 would be $10,552 (based on earning $30,000 in each of these years).
In addition, the parent would be eligible for the super co-contribution for those years. For a parent with a HECS debt it would provide some temporary relief from these obligations.
Felicity Nancarrow, North Perth, May 12.
In hindsight, it was never going to work. The chant "Wadda we want? Spending on health and education with strong economic planning and preparation for the coming retirement crisis" is just too awkward, even if 70 per cent of us wanted that.
The Government's "Wadda you want? Tax cuts" is extremely catchy and should last right through to the election.
Chris Howe, Kensington, May 12.
I have another suggestion that could add to Mr Costello's $2.4 billion budget surplus. Instead of posting out the cheques for $600 why not save the cost of a stamp and hand them out at the polling booths on election day.
They could be dispensed on production of a newborn baby and/or a ballot paper marked with a vote for the Coalition. The money saved could then be diverted to our failing health and Medicare system, used to reduce the 25 per cent increase in HECS fees or even to give tax cuts to those earning less than $52,000.
Daniel Noll, Paddington, May 12.
Congratulations are in order for the Howard Government's budget, which not only provides real incentives for hard-working Australians through tax reform but also sets the foundations for greater job growth and gives hope for many young people aspiring to start a family.
At a time where the debate about an ageing population continues to drag on, Peter Costello's announcements of greater assistance to couples with children and a more extensive baby care strategy have succeeded in tackling this issue of national importance head-on. It is imperative that incentives are provided to families and young people who desire children if we are to lift the falling birthrate to help ease the pressures associated with an older population.
So, too, will raising the top two income tax thresholds seek to reverse the stigma of bracket creep on middle-income workers and encourage more people into higher-skilled jobs, which Australia is crying out for.
Benjamin Smith, Glenmore Park, May 12.
Who scripts Mr Costello's "when mum goes back to work" business? I can only imagine it's him, because no spin doctor would dare insult women by minimising their lives to "mum".
Sorry to have to give you the 1970s script again, Pete, but you obviously weren't listening the first time. We're workers, lovers, friends, sisters, daughters and more.
We hope for quality child care from decently paid carers in well-subsidised services; resourced, quality public schools; universal health care; and a government concerned with public spending for a strong society, not tax cuts for a squalid one.
Alison Orme, Marrickville, May 12.
Will there be room at the Lodge this Christmas when Peter and Mrs Costello move in with their new triplets?
Peter Woodforde, Melba (ACT), May 12.
A pregnant mother's response to Tuesday's budget: D'oh! If only we'd waited an extra two weeks to do our civic duty.
Kristen Young, Lithgow, May 12.
Having spent budget night ironing their clothes, tidying up after them and nursing a cold inherited from them, I want to know where are the incentives not to have children?
Stephen Driscoll, Carlingford, May 12.
I can see it now. June 30. Heavily pregnant mums-to-be in hospitals around the country, their legs crossed, trying to keep bub in until midnight.
Brendan Jones, Annandale, May 12.
Let's hope one of our levels of government does something constructive for the public hospital system over the next nine months. It would be a shame if we were not able to cater for the now-certain arrival of a bountiful crop of bouncing budget babies at a uniformly high standard.
Max Edwards, Figtree, May 12.
Too much water under the bridge for John Howard to start pretending to care about my family.
Michael Zelas, Longueville, May 12.
There will be many critics of the federal budget. Surely it means something that Mr Howard and Mr Costello did have that money to spend and still leave a substantial surplus. I wonder if Bob Carr will do just as well in his next budget?
K.B. Orr, Blakehurst, May 12.
The over-65 fully self-funded retirees have done everything the Government has asked of us. Through our working lives we have invested in superannuation so that we do not become a burden on taxpayers in our retirement.
How marvellous it is to note that the budget is perpetuating the Government's meanness by not rewarding this group in any way. We get nothing for trying to be independent. What a great incentive for those the Government is urging to provide for their retirement.
David Graham, Wahroonga, May 12.
While benefits handed out in the budget to families are long overdue, there is not one single word about the most needy section of the community - pensioners.
But then, social justice obviously has to take a back seat in an election year.
Peter Finnegan, Burrill Lake, May 12.
Making way for an expanded light rail
Your editorial ("Light rail debate goes in circles", Herald, May 11) is right to warn of the pitfalls, as well as the merits, of extending the current light rail system.
Existing problems of service speed and frequency might well be even greater when the impact of an additional transport provider is felt along congested CBD arteries.
Unfortunately, the width of our city's thoroughfares is significantly less than those of cities such as Melbourne. The successful integration of light rail, therefore, must be at the expense of current users. Current volumes of motor vehicles would have to be reduced or eliminated entirely.
It might be that the new cross-city tunnel network will assist in relieving cross-city traffic. But until this problem is conclusively addressed, it is doubtful that a light rail service into the CBD will be time-efficient for commuters.
Bob Sanderson, Cremorne, May 11.
What is all this talk of the need for a light rail link - and call it what you want, it's still a tram - from Central to Circular Quay? Do these people come from Melbourne and don't know about the city circle?
There are six stations on the circle (one is called Circular Quay and another is called Central), with trains running every few minutes in both directions.
Richard Lynch, Waterloo, May 12.
Garth Clarke (Letters, May 12) hits the nail on the head.
Keep private vehicles out of the CBD, let them park on the outskirts, where cheap light rail can link them to their destination. The roads of the CBD should be for buses, taxis, deliveries, tradesmen and the disabled, not office workers.
Neil Bloomfield, St Andrews, May 12.
I am with you, George
In all my years of reading the Herald's letters, I have never been moved as much as I was today reading George Grojnowski's letter. His pain was devastatingly evident, and his appeal simple and correct - we must protest against these abuses.
Adam S. Gregory, Hornsby, May 12.
It's typical of the mindset of those who protest the Australian involvement in Iraq to use the actions of a few Americans to beat up on our own Government.
Iraq at this time is on the road to democracy, however, a few vested interests within that country seek to undermine that process. Regular bombing of civilians is part of that tactic, and thousands of Iraqis - and 800 Americans - have died at the hand of their own people.
If the life of an Australian son or daughter was in danger while these insurgents remained at large, who among us would stop at some creative interrogation of those who might supply information about such activities?
Tut-tutting at disturbing pictures from the comfort of a couch shows little or no understanding of the Iraq situation.
Peter Maresch, Lane Cove, May 12.
If the US Government - and the Australian Government by choosing to accept US assurances despite what has been revealed about the treatment of Iraqis - have nothing to hide they should have no problem with Australians seeing the Red Cross report on the treatment of the two Australians in detention at Guantanamo Bay.
Gordon Drennan, Burton (SA), May 12.
East of George Street
Is it not amazing that Mr Carr can kick up a fuss about the Malabar headland but he has no time for the ADI site at Penrith ("Fresh move to turn rifle range into parkland", Herald, May 12). Silly me, it is west of Parramatta. Give us a break, Mr Premier. There is life out in the western suburbs.
Peter Haggarty, Cranebrook, May 12.
Ideology at work
OK, we admit it, Mark Johnson (Letters, May 12): Sydney's Anglicans are responsible for the Kennedy assassinations, Princess Diana's death, September 11, the war in Iraq and the drought.
Reverend Michael Jensen, Newtown, May 12.
Mark Johnson vilifies and caricatures those whose views he disapproves of. He labels them as "fundamentalists" and "reactionary" so they can be demonised and dismissed without serious engagement or informed debate. At least I'm glad that he has clearly demonstrated his conclusion that our society has failed to move beyond angry selfishness that is inherent in lazy ideology.
Brian Tung, Punchbowl, May 12.
What you see ...
ALP leaders are telling us that a vote for Howard is a vote for Costello. What is really frightening, though, is that a vote for Latham is a vote for Latham.
Geoff Cass, Tewantin (Qld), May 12.
This will he/won't he conjecture about the PM's continuing as an MP after the forthcoming elections warrants an undertaking by him or any other candidate for office, to pay for the costs for any by-election they will cause by their premature resignation(s).
Michael Toohey, Bronte, May 12.
Fair go!
Did I miss Qantas's advertisement for a rebate when our dollar was near US80 cents and oil was closer to $US30 a barrel? As this was in the fairly recent past, I am concerned that my memory may be failing ("Qantas slaps fuel charge on all tickets", Herald, May 12).
John Warby, North Rocks, May 12.
Thanks for the $42, Pete. Can you make the cheque payable to Qantas.
Andrew Millett, Lilyfield, May 12.
Breasts are always in fashion
After reading "Fashion Police" (Good Living, May 11), I recalled the one time in my seven years of working on Fashion Week when a cheer went up in the male crew - as Megan Gayle debuted on the catwalk. Finally a woman, with breasts. Little girls may look good in frocks but most men prefer women.
Mic Gruchy, Darlinghurst, May 11.
The Good Living section should have been kept under the counter of newsagencies, and wrapped in plastic.
Steve Barrett, Glenbrook, May 11.
The usual problem
I wonder if Mary Donaldson is marrying "our Prince" Federik on a Friday because they have the same problem as many couples - all the good function places have been booked out for ages on Saturdays.
George Perry, Chatswood, May 12.
Eat your heart out, Pitty Pat.
Terry Barwell, Kiama, May 12.
Give him a break
Peter Spencer (Letters, May 12), if Fred Nile doesn't make it into the Senate, it will be because election day coincides with one of God's rest days. Even God needs a rest day every so often.
Same situation when Darren Beadman "stuffed up" in Lonhro's last race.
John Hinde, Sydney, May 12.
Give me a label
I turn 43 next month and I have just had my first visit to the skin cancer clinic, which makes me think that I have just started the downward slide.
I am wondering what generation I belong to. The papers are full of views on baby boomers, generation Xers and those ungrateful young people (aka gen Ys). Does anyone know if I have a group, and if so what is it?
Sharon Doyle, Clontarf, May 12.
The backyard zoo
Catherine Zuill (Heckler, May 12) finds goldfish and a couple of guinea pigs hard going!
Over the years our kids have had a tank with goldfish, tadpoles, two bearded dragons and a frog; two guinea pigs; a home-made aviary with a dozen budgerigars (quite a few garden funerals); a wounded magpie; three quails; a turtle; two chooks (who turned out to be roosters); a dog; a cat; and two horses.
All we ever wanted was kids. Surely this isn't even a record for a Sydney suburban family.
Marli Holt, Valley Heights, May 12.
How we can win
Why doesn't Soccer Australia (i.e., Frank Lowy) buy an English soccer team. They all appear up for grabs.
It could be stocked with Australian players and managed by Frank Farina. No more whingeing and Australia will qualify for the World Cup.
Allan Walker, Grays Point, May 12.

/// Even With a Little Polish, Chrome OS Is Still a Bit Hazy
This year, Microsoft and Apple are both introducing new versions of their operating systems with important changes to their user interfaces, and with a flurry of publicity. A third major company is also overhauling its PC operating system, but you probably won't hear much about it. [ See post to watch video ] Google redesigned its PC operating system, Chrome OS. While Google is a major rival to Apple and Microsoft in things like search, smartphones and browsers, Chrome OS hasn't dented the competition in the year since it emerged. It was meant to be radically different than Windows and the Macintosh operating system, a refreshing change for a new era. But it had serious limitations, principally that it ran only apps inside a browser on a handful of special, low-powered laptops called Chromebooks and could do almost nothing when it wasn't online. The new version, which I've been testing, aims to address some of those issues and it makes some progress. But I still can't recommend it over a PC or Mac for average consumers who are looking for the greatest versatility in a laptop. I still find it more of an evolving project than a finished product. Its fundamental limitations remain. Most importantly, you still can't install your favorite programs, be they Microsoft Office or iTunes or Firefox—only a few thousand "Web apps" that run inside the Chrome browser. And it still only works on specific hardware: that laptop called the Chromebook or—new this year—a small desktop called a Chromebox. The only hardware maker producing the 2012 versions of these machines so far is Samsung, though Google says more are coming
