Wedding receptions are supposed to be a place of love, laughter, and epic dance moves. Avoid awkward glances and embarrassing your new in-laws by making sure these ten songs are securely situated on your DJ's "Do Not Play" list.
1. "Love Stinks" by J. GieIs Band
If there's anything we learned from The Wedding Singer (fast forward to 1:50 of this scene), it's that wedding receptions are the #1 place to not air personal relationship grievances. Let's try a little more positive outlook on love, shall we?
The Worst Verse: You love her / But she loves him / And he loves somebody else / You just can't win / And so it goes / Till the day you die / This thing they call love / It's gonna make you cry
2. "Gold Digger" by Kanye West
Catchy, we know. And a hit on almost any dance floor. But do you really want to be surrounded by a roomful of people singing about blatant materialism mere hours after you got married?
The Worst Verse: If you ain't no punk holla we want prenup / We Want Prenup! Yeah / It's something that you need to have / 'Cause when she leave yo a** she gonna leave with half
3. "Somebody That I Used To Know" by Gotye
An angsty alt-rock song about an extremely painful break-up. Heavy radio play aside, what about this says wedding song?
The Worse Verse: But you didn't have to cut me off / Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing / And I don't even need your love / But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
4. "Forget You" by Cee-Lo Green (the uncensored version)
Grandma is going to be offended by a certain four letter word, and the last thing you need is a slightly tipsy (and recently jilted) attendee grabbing the DJ's mic and dedicating the ditty to a former flame.
The Worst Verse: Now I know, that I had to borrow / Beg and steal and lie and cheat / Trying to keep ya / Trying to please ya / 'Cause being in love with your a** ain't cheap.
5. "If You Want to Be Happy" by Jimmy Soul
This 1963 chart-topper could not be any more cringe-worthy on a bride's big day. Even those with the steeliest senses of humor should avoid.
The Worse Verse: If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life / Never make a pretty woman your wife.
6. "It Wasn't Me" by Shaggy
No songs about cheating, please and thanks. Especially no songs about cheating and then vehemently lying about it.
The Worst Verse: To be a true player you have to know how to play / If she say a night, convince her say a day / Never admit to a word when she say / And if she claims and you tell her baby no way
7. "My Humps" by The Black Eyed Peas
If it's going to make your grandparents blush, save it for the bachelorette party.
The Worse Verse: What you gon' do with all that junk? / All that junk inside that trunk? / I'ma get, get, get get you drunk / Get you love drunk off my hump
8. "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails
Far too raw, graphic, and visceral for any family-oriented event.
The Worst Verse: You let me violate you / you let me desecrate you / you let me penetrate you / you let me complicate you
9. "Bad Touch" by The Bloodhound Gang
See #7. Seriously folks, if you wouldn't leave it on with your parents or kids in the car, don't put it in the playlist.
The Worst Verse: You and me baby ain't nothing but mammals / So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
10. "D-I-V-O-R-C-E" by Tammy Wynette
No explanation required.
The Worst Verse: Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final today / Me and little J-O-E will be goin' away / I love you both and this will be pure H-E double L for me / Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E.

When it comes to work-related matters, many private-sector employers think that employees' rights to privacy are limited, if they exist at all. A recent $1.8 million jury verdict should help dispel that myth.
Kathy Lawlor worked as a salesperson at North American Corp. of Illinois, a Chicago-based provider of specialized business services. As Lawlor was negotiating a highly profitable account, North American began to suspect that she was planning to leave the company and take the new account with her. North American initiated an investigation and hired a private detective agency it had used in other matters.

What happened next reads like a plot of a Hollywood movie. The detective agency obtained Lawlor's phone records by having someone call her telephone carriers without her knowledge and pretend to be her. Meanwhile, the detective assigned to Lawlor's case spent con...(register to read more)

Understanding The Keys to Cross-Selling Success
Posted by Brad Strothkamp on October 24, 2011
- 563 Recommendations
- 4 comments
A result of the recent and continuing rash of government regulations is a renewed desire on the part of banks and credit unions to drive new sources of revenue and profitability. One outcome of drive for revenue is a renewed interest in cross-selling to deepen customer relationships.
Cross-Sell Strategy Is Not New
Cross-selling as a strategy is nothing new. Wells Fargo has been a champion of the concept for decades. Cross sell efforts in general have been marginally successful, with the average bank owning just 2.1 financial products out of nearly seven owned per household. The struggles of cross-selling to customers are two-fold. On the consumer side, there is a natural inclination that one provider cannot have the best product in all situations. On the bank side, organizational silos and a general failure to appreciate the impact of effective cross-selling on metrics like customer retention hinder success.
The Elements Of Effective Cross-Selling
So what makes for successful cross-selling? A well-defined strategy is an important but relatively easy part of the question. An analysis of the problem shows that execution is what separates success from also-rans. Effective cross-sell execution requires four key elements:
- Customer interest. A customer's interest in having a deep relationship with her bank is primary. Our research shows that 41% of US adults are interested or very interested in "putting or keeping all of your financial products and accounts with a single firm." Age is one factor affecting this desire, with younger consumers more open the concept, but another is the level to which the customer is an advocate of his primary provider — a concept we call Customer Advocacy. Customers who agree more with the statement "My financial provider does what's best for me, versus its bottom line" are far more likely to consider their provider for additional product purchases.
- Relationship pricing. Consumers are smart. They know there is a value to a financial firm in their having multiple accounts with that firm. They expect to share in that value; they expect to receive a financial benefit for their patronage. In fact, 60% of US online adults think that getting better rates from their provider is the kind of encouragement they need to have a deep relationship. This shared financial benefit is at the heart of a pricing strategy called relationship pricing.
- 360-degree customer view. Metrics are a vital component of effective execution. Next-best cross-sell analyses are valuable, but so, too, are elements like an understanding of what products and services are typically purchased together and a 360-degree view of the customer to know what products she current owns, both with and outside a particular firm. Thirty-eight percent of consumers who purchased a checking or savings account purchased both products at the same time, making packaged selling of those products a logical cross-sell element.
- Effective execution. This is the missing link of effective cross-selling. Financial firms have to know where their customers are and where they would most likely consider additional product purchases. Today that occurs in two places: when products are being opened and when products are being serviced. Most product opening is done in the branch, and many firms do an adequate job of cross-selling in the branch. The greater opportunity is when the customer is servicing, and today that
Comment from Justin McWilson (not verified) on Wed, 10/26/2011 - 02:53
I reflect many of the sentiments mentioned within this article. As a youth, I was an advocate user of one company. I had come to this decision after being enticed by the FREE student checking accounts that they offered at the time. In this respect, I feel that they did an excellent job as organization in enticing Customer Interest. I also appreciated their "360 Degree customer view", because I was given the option to open a savings account under the same criteria. However, after graduating from high school and starting college they bumped my account up and started charging me, rather than respecting the relationship we had established. I also felt that their execution of this process was lacked tact. Shortly after finding this out, I switch to two other institutions that claimed similar guidelines (except with extended coverage for college students).
I also held an account with

I also held an account with one company. I felt that being apart of more than one company would become a hassle to manage and there would be different offers so I went with the one I felt was best for me as a student. I had the student checking account but suddenly one year they began taking money from my account because they told me I no longer had a student account even though i was still a student at the time. They did not keep their word as a company forcing me to switch my services over to their competition. Since I has a savings and a checking the interest that I made in my savings account got taken away in my checking account when they took money from me that i didn't even have at the time, because of the company failed in the relationship pricing element
This elements of cross
Comment from Jarrell Murphy (not verified) on Wed, 10/26/2011 - 20:57
This elements of cross selling strategies mentioned within the article I can attest to their validity based on the fact that I have noticed the same strategies implemented on myself when banking. Especially with the 360 customer view, when used properly can cause a person to open multiple accounts with one bank based on the fact that they will bundle their products together to sell, I had been convinced to open checking, savings, and money market IRA account all at one bank at the same time.
Great discussion
Comment from Brad Strothkamp on Thu, 10/27/2011 - 11:52
It is clear we are seeing the seeds of cross sell accross many different organizations. Citi, Chase and Wells Fargo all have strong relatinship pricing approaches. Expect to see much more of this soon as the strategy to grow revenue grows much stronger driven primariliy by government regulations.

In the movie Hounddog [link to www.imdb.com] a girl is raped by a boy not much older than her, maybe 15 at the most. It's pretty disturbing. The movie in its entirety is beautiful and inspiring, but this scene is just pure hell. I can't even watch it. However, if you wish to see it, you can find the entire movie on the tube. But I warn you, it is disturbing.
My point is, Dakota Fanning's character in Hounddog was 12 years old. 4 years old is MUCH younger and rape is even MORE traumatizing for a child of this age, in so many ways. The damage this boy has done will echo throughout this poor girl's whole life, and even if he didn't understand the magnitude of what he was doing, he deserves to be punished. It's like when a child tries to kill his pet cat, you spank him, because life and death are serious lines you don't want your child to cross, and he needs to learn that it's not okay to kill. Well, this is the same. Except that in this case, killing the girl would have actually been merciful compared to raping her. Now she'll live her whole life running from the past, and looking over her shoulder for him everywhere she goes.
I realize that not all the information has been released, and we don't know if he raped her or not, but if he did, he deserves life in prison. Not only for punishment, but most importantly so that the girl can have some small chance of feeling safe again. That is all.

Featured Artists' Coalition
The Featured Artists Coalition (FAC) is a nonprofit organisation set up to protect the rights of featured musical artists, particularly in the new digital age. It encourages a greater connection between fans and artists and aims to promote transparency in the music industry specifically to the benefit of the artists themselves.
It is a UK based organization, founded in early 2009, lobbying and campaigning for the rights of featured artists (i.e. 'the musicians and bands whose names are on the cover of the record' as distinct from session musicians).[1] It was formed by a number of high-profile artists as a reaction to the conventional stance by the music industry that saw artists as not constituting an organised body and so often not possessing direct control over their own work.
The FAC's aim is to not only promote the rights of established artists, but also to support those of the up-and-coming featured artists and young emerging acts who are not familiar with the industry or their own rights. The FAC aims to provide a direct campaigning voice for featured artists, both established and new, on commercial issues (such as the deals done between major content providers and record labels) and policy issues (such as copyright term extension and anti piracy measures). Traditionally major record labels and 'the music industry' have controlled these discussions without direct input from the artists themselves.[citation needed]
The board of directors of the FAC consists entirely of Featured Artists[clarification needed]. The directors of the board include Billy Bragg, Dave Rowntree of Blur, Nick Mason of Pink Floyd, Ed O'Brien of Radiohead, Kate Nash, Hal Ritson of The Young Punx, Howard Jones, Mark Kelly of Marillion, Sandie Shaw, Master Shortie, Lucy Pullin of The Fire Escapes, Ross Millard of The Futureheads, Fran Healy of Travis, Crispin Hunt of Longpigs, Rumer, Paul Pacifico, Roxanne de Bastion and Annie Lennox.
Membership of the FAC is broad and includes featured artists such as Tom Jones, Robbie Williams, Little Boots, Badly Drawn Boy, Sia, Amy Studt, The Boxer Rebellion, Kevin Hewick and many others.
Changing Industry[edit]
In the past it was normal that the musical artist would sign away their rights to a record company for a contracted number of years and/or albums. This resulted in the record label having almost complete control over the artist and their promotion for the duration of the contract. However, since the recent and sudden impact of the digital age on music and on the distribution of music, artists have not only come closer to their audience, but further from the profit due to their lack of representation at the negotiating table. Because of this inequality, FAC has tried to ensure that featured musical artists are central in these deals and receive a fair share of the profits.
Bands such as Marillion and Radiohead paved the way for such thinking. In 1999, Marillion decided to turn down offers of a recording contract with an independent label and contacted their fans by email to ask them if they would be prepared to pay for the band's next album in advance. This successful venture enabled the band to retain the rights to their own music instead of being forced to surrender their rights to a label in the traditional way.[2] Radiohead released their 2007 album In Rainbows as an online digital download and let fans choose how much to pay for it.[3] However, despite the vast sums of money being made by websites such as iTunes Store and Myspace, the artists themselves receive little or none of the revenues. This provided incentive for the formation of FAC to help reshape the organisation of the music industry and provide a means for featured musical artists to profit directly from their own work.
Against the backdrop of dramatic falls in record sales in recent years[citation needed] this is seen as a crucial means by which artists can potentially make a living off their own work and create viable policies for the future of the industry. Equally, FAC has stressed the importance of not criminalising the ordinary fan for digital downloads and instead would rather focus developing alternative forms of revenue.
Campaign stance and key demands[edit]
The FAC has taken a markedly different stance from the 'traditional music industry' on several key issues such as copyright term extension and, in particular, online piracy where the FAC has argued against 'criminalizing fans' through prosecuting not for profit file sharing of music.
It lists the following six as its key demands:[citation needed]
- "An agreement by the music industry that artists should receive fair compensation whenever their business partners receive an economic return from the exploitation of the artists' work."
- "All transfers of copyright should be by license rather than by assignment."
- "The 'making available' right should be monetized on behalf of featured artists and all other performers."
- "Copyright owners to be obliged to follow a 'use it or lose it' approach to the copyrights they control."
- "The rights for performers should be improved to bring them more into line with those granted to authors (songwriters, lyricists and composers)."
- "A change to copyright law which will end the commercial exploitation of unlicensed music purporting to be used in conjunction with 'critical reviews' and abusing the UK provisions for 'fair dealing'."
It has also worked in concert with the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors and the Music Producers Guild in campaigns to protect rights of performers and musicians and for "artists to have more control of their music and a much fairer share of the profits".[4]
The FAC was launched at Heaven on 11 March 2009. On 24 September 2009, an open meeting for featured artists was held at Air Studios. The inaugural Artist and Manager Awards was held in conjunction with the MMF at the Roundhouse in London's Chalk Farm on 13 September 2011, at which Ed Sheeran and Mumford & Sons performed. Massive Attack won the Artists' Artist Award, Ed Sheeran won the Award for Breakthrough Artist and Everybody's Management and its artists won the Achievement Award, the highest accolade of the night.
The Artist and Manager Awards 2012 was held at the Troxy on 27 November 2013. Winners included Amanda Palmer for Industry Pioneer and Zane Lowe for Industry Champion. Artist awards were given to Madeon and Plan B and Ben Howard's manager, Owain Davies was awarded the Breakthrough Manager award.
Spotify sponsored the event and awarded a ten thousand pound grant to a promising artist and manager partnership. The winners were manager Danny Blackman and act, Pale Seas.

We have been itching to have a glimpse at a real sample of the dual-core Samsung Exynos chipset, which, in the case of the Galaxy S II, is clocked at 1.2GHz, and now we have the chance. It is packaged in a 118.8 mm^2 die size, with the amperage roughly similar to the one of the NVIDIA Tegra 2 chipset, its most popular competitor. More about the dual-core beasts in our article here.
The teardown also revealed some neat tricks Samsung is using to keep power consumption at bay, and still provide one of the most powerful mobile chipsets on the market. There are a brand new multi-mode power amplifier from RF Micro Devices inside the system-on-a-chip, as well as new CMOS antenna switch and new multi-mode low power chip from Infineon, which provides the cellular connectivity. Infineon is a German company, which got acquired by Intel recently, and its chips are also used in the Apple iPhone 4 for connectivity, but its silicon in the Samsung Galaxy S II is one of the smallest integrated HSPA+ 4G solutions on the market.
Exynos in Greek means both "green" and "smart", says ABI Research's VP of engineering James Mielke, and the engineering solutions above explain the power-frugal nature of the Samsung Galaxy S II. The chipset accomplishments made James Mielke conclude: "Samsung started from scratch with this phone: almost every component is new. Its application processor is the most powerful on the market at present." Indeed, in our Samsung Galaxy S II review we clocked 62 hours uptime with average usage even without the new firmware update that improves on battery life.
Feast your eyes on a few sample pictures of the Samsung Galaxy S II teardown that we are being teased with below.

Alot of threads recently have been talking about uprated clutches, and on one of them I promised some photos of teh one I've just bought from Gav at Wallace performance. So here they are.
Both are for my xe engine in my Cav which uses an early flat type fly wheel (lightened & balanced ) and an F20 gearbox.
The Wallace P one has an organic friction material, double springs and is slightly different in the centre (size of springs etc). The other one (for comparison) is a standard Luk one that is an OE part.
The 2 together to see differances.
Friction material comparison - standard on left. Uprated one contains what looks like copper strands and is almost black in colour (standard is brown).
Standard clutch showing LUK markings on friction material and in the centre.
Uprated - to left of spring is faint indent of LUK marking.
Double springs in uprated clutch.
As i said this is for an xe but from what I understand (and I'm sure siome of you can confirm) it is the same for the turbo engine.
I've got loads more pics if you guys want to see anything particular.

Two burglars were jailed for taking posh cars for fun and leaving victims' families unsettled in their homes.
In one case, a stolen BMW's tracking device showed burglar Lee Sills getting out of the vehicle near his Ilkeston home, a court heard.
Another car was taken in Hucknall before a raid on a house on West End Drive, Ilkeston on September 16.
A Mercedes and Citroen were taken before being spotted around the town later that night.
Sills, 27, was driving one with Tyla Reynolds, 21, at the wheel of the other, said Avik Mukherjee, prosecuting at Derby Crown Court.
A four-year prison term was imposed on Sills of Stamford Street, Ilkeston, who admitted five burglaries. Two years jail was ordered for Reynolds of Wood Street, Ilkeston who pleaded guilty to one burglary and had five other offences taken into consideration.
Judge Michael Fowler told the pair: "You do it because you need a bit of money to buy drugs and get a thrill out of taking and driving cars which otherwise you would not have access to.
"The penalty is by having gone into houses, people feel violated by you. You deserve some credit by your pleas but it cannot wash away the seriousness of these matters."
The court heard that one burglary took place in Spondon at 1.30am while a couple and their two children were asleep. The householder was woken but his car was still on the drive and he returned to bed. When he got up at 5.30am, it was missing.
At Hucknall, the burglary was carried out at a house shared by a woman and her child. The burglar alarm went off at 4am and the car was taken later.
In the Ilkeston raid, a family was disrupted when intruders got in and found the keys to the two cars. Mr Mukherjee added: "There was a significant degree of planning and organisation."
Clive Stockwell, for Sills, said: "At the time he was homeless, had no money and also had an addiction to cocaine.
"I appreciate it sounds a little hollow but he is aware of his offending and apologises to those affected." While awaiting sentence, Sills had been working as a cleaner, added Mr Stockwell.
Nicola Hornby, for Reynolds, said he had never been in trouble before and had obeyed a curfew since being freed on bail on November 4. At the time of the offences, he had left home.
"When he was released, he went back to his parents' address and his father says he has noticed a significant change in his behaviour. He is a very different young man," added Miss Hornby.

Bloomberg unveils $12m gun control ad campaign as NRA squares up
Advertising blitz aims to put pressure on Congress as pro-gun lobby accuses New York mayor of 'intimidating senators'
- guardian.co.uk, Sunday 24 March 2013 12.08 EDT
The television ads are set to run in 13 key states during the congressional recess and are aimed at influencing an upcoming Senate vote on gun reforms.
Announcing the move, Bloomberg – the co-chair of Mayors Against Illegal Guns and one of the US's most high-profile advocates of tighter controls – said: "These ads bring the voices of Americans – who overwhelmingly support comprehensive and enforceable background checks – into the discussion to move senators to immediately take action to prevent gun violence."
But pro-gun lobby group the National Rifle Association (NRA), accused the New York mayor of attempting to "intimidate senators".
The new ads feature a man holding a gun on the back of a pickup truck. In one, he says he will defend the second amendment but adds that "with rights come responsibilities". He goes on to urges viewers to tell Congress to support background checks.
In the other ad posted on the Mayors Against Illegal Guns website, the man says "background checks have nothing to do with taking guns away from anyone", rather they are aimed at preventing criminals and mentally ill people from owning deadly weapons.
The advertising plan comes days after the Senate disappointed advocates of greater controls by effectively abandoning a proposal to ban military-style assault weapons.
Last Tuesday, Senate leader Harry Reid said than the ban would not form part of a bill members are due to vote on, as it did not have the support needed to force it through Congress.

Checkout time has arrived for homeless Sandy victims living in hotels.
The city is moving to relocate some 777 displaced families — about 1,900 people — out of hotels and into alternate housing by April 30, said Seth Diamond, the head of the city's Department of Homeless Services.

Debris piles line Beach 118th Street in Far Rockaway following the effects of Hurricane Sandy.
Those who can will move back home, while others will go to relatives, said Diamond. The city has also set aside 400 New York City Housing Authority units and 150 section 8 vouchers for Sandy victims without other options.

Watchdog: Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund has raised $32M, doled out $0
Sandy fund: It's not speed, it's doling it out right
'We have a very, very thin staff, really hard workers. We get everything we can on a pro bono basis,' Mary Pat Christie says at the Harding office of the charity she chairs, the Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund. / Bob Karp/staff photographer
"I have taken excruciating steps to make sure that we give the money out in a really judicious way."
The Sandy relief fund chaired by New Jersey first lady Mary Pat Christie has raised more than $32 million so far. But four months after the superstorm, none of that aid has reached storm victims yet.
In an interview, Mary Pat Christie pointed to the logistical challenge of starting a charity from scratch, the relief fund's focus on addressing long-term recovery needs, instead of short-term relief, and her own "methodical" approach to putting the proper resources and safeguards in place, as reasons for the delay.
It was never the intent for the Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund to quickly provide monetary aid directly to storm victims, she noted. Instead, the plan was to lend support to reputable nonprofit groups that will be providing victims with financial assistance and other services in the months and years to come. The relief fund plans to distribute $1 million in grants this week, with another $5 million to follow several weeks after that.
"I have taken excruciating steps to make sure that we give the money out in a really judicious way," Mary Pat Christie said.
"You want accountability, you get accountability when you go through a methodical structure," she said. "So, in three years when I'm still distributing money at Hurricane Sandy Relief, ask me if we're doing enough."
Mary Pat Christie's defense of her charity's performance, however, comes on the heels of the pointed barbs her husband, Gov. Chris Christie, has hurled at the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Speaker of the House John Boehner, among others, for what the governor sees as inexcusable delays in helping the state's residents, businesses and communities still reeling from the Oct. 29 storm. Christie famously called Congress' holdup of Sandy relief "disgusting."
'Let's move it'
The deliberate pace of Mary Pat Christie's 4-month-old charity contrasts with the Robin Hood Foundation's rapid turnaround of the $67 million raised by the 12-12-12 Concert for Sandy Relief.
To date, Robin Hood has awarded more than $50 million in grants to dozens of nonprofit groups, with nearly 40 percent of the funds earmarked for relief efforts in New Jersey. The foundation expects to commit almost all of the remaining concert money by the end of the month.

UK Ford Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hello, I hope I can offer you some assistance.
What made you decide to replace the fuel pump? What diagnostics have been carried out? What were the results? Which engine is this 2.4 or 2.0? TDCi or TDDi? If you're unsure have you the chassis number?
Thank you.
Hello again,
after replacing the fuel injection pump the fuel system can be very difficult to bleed, if you are sure there is no air in the fuel system then the pump operation requires checking.
With the ignition turned on pin 7 of the fuel pump connector should be a 12 volt feed try to check this with the wiring connected as if the pump is disconnected the engine management cuts the power to it after a short time. If there isn't a 12 volt feed check fuses 1.21 and 1.22 in the fuse box under the bonnet, these are located at the top of the fuse box and are both 20 amp rated.
If the fuses are OK check the fuel pump relay operation, this is in the same fuse box and is the third relay down on the right.
If the 12 volt feed to the pump is OK check continuity between pin 6 of the pump and earth, make sure the resistance is less than half an ohm, if there is a problem check the wiring for corrosion.
To check the communication wires to the pump requires a scope for the CAN signals these are pins 1 and 2 of the pump connector. If these are OK then ideally you need to have the engine management module memory scanned for fault codes to confirm this is a pump fault that is still causing the concern.
Make sure the wiring to the pump isn't damaged where it runs close to the engine, also check the wiring for damage or corrosion where the loom passes from the body to the engine on the passenger side.
Let me know if you require further assistance and I'll reply to you as soon as I'm able to.
Best wishes,

Tait Davenport left Kentucky Lake Motor Speedway on April 12 thinking a flat left front tire cost him a win. He only needed to wait six days to make up for it.
The Paducah driver took the lead on lap 5 of the 15-lap Crate Late Model feature Friday at Paducah International Raceway and went on to earn his second win this season.
"It means a lot," Davenport said. "It's good to win at home."
The race was the first this season at Paducah International Raceway after the track hosted just 10 last year. The Mason family, who own two teams, leased it in an effort to have weekly races.
Davenport's victory came at the expense of Kevin Cole, who started on the pole and jumped to an early lead in the feature. But then Cole's engine overheated, forcing him to slow.
On what would've been lap nine, Cole finally had to pull out of the race.
"I tried to back down as much as I could without getting beat real quick," he said. "There's six or so laps left, I didn't think it was going to make it. I pulled off trying to not tear anything up.
"I got a light on it once it gets to a certain temperature. It was on pretty early. We were kind of holding (Davenport) up. We were probably where he needed to be. Hopefully we can get it fixed and try again."
The key to winning a feature Friday, it seemed, was simple: get ahead early and run away.
Michael Watson did so in taking the 4 cylinder outlaw feature. Street stock winner Tony Cruse started on the pole and was only threatened a couple of times. Modified winner Josh Harris fell behind Justin Story off the start but cruised to a win after passing him.
Unfortunately for Cole, his engine wouldn't allow him to do that. But part of Davenport's win, and his chance to make amends for missing out on one six days before, could be credited to how his car has run since installing a new shock package two weeks ago.
"The last two weeks have been killer," he said.
"Normally when you make a change like that, it takes a while to figure it out. We've only had them on for a few weeks, but they keep hitting."

Interesting note on that Pepi. In doing my product research on Killer Chrome I came across a number of "modeling" web sites where folks had tried it out for their small scale projects. In every case that I was able to find, the results were rated as quite poor. Apparently there are some other alternatives for chroming these small plastic parts and they say the K.C. did not stack up well at all against those existing products.
Also I'm totally in agreement with you that Killer Chrome is a very poor substitute for actual chroming. I haven't done any homework on it but my guess is you'd be money ahead simply sending off your parts to an outfit that applies chrome professionally. The next best alternative might be the Caswell "Copy Chrome" process. I believe Willys36 has done this and speaks highly of it...and I trust his experience and judgement. More info on Caswell
And for things like my shocks...which could not withstand the chemical chroming process or the heat from powder coating, I think the alternative is to either think far enough ahead when you make the original purchase and buy them chromed from the supplier or just be content with a nice paint job on them. I don't know what is involved in the Jet Hot type ceramic process but I would assume it can't be used after the fact on things like shocks.
One final observation that you made needs repeating. This stuff is very finicky to handle and apply. Like you say, there are way too many "gotchas" along the way...like absolute perfection in prepping the workpiece to strict adherence to application procedures. And even if you DO get everything else right, the cans themselves put out such a poorly atomized spray that it will blemish and blotch all those hours and hours of prep work.
Again, maybe in its liquid form applied via a gun or air brush, this is a decent and usable product in the hands of a master painter. But in the aerosol can form, in the hands of a hobbyist, it falls short.
Always learning...and sharing what I've learned.

Katy Perry Says She Wants to Do More Films in the Upcoming Year
Katy Perry recently spoke with Billboard at the event honoring her as the magazine's Woman of the Year, discussing her desire to do more film and TV work. Check out the highlights:
On wanting to go under the radar a bit with her film work: "I want to do stuff that's a little unrecognizable, the self-deprecation kind of humor where I don't always have to be lit so perfectly. I know I can be like the pretty girl, the teasing kitten. But what I want to do is be like a Jerri from Amy Sedaris' ['Strangers With Candy]. I just want to kind of transform."
On enjoying playing different, unexpected types of characters such has her prison guard on Raising Hope: "I played a character named Rikki who had tight, permed red hair. She was an officer wearing no makeup, with a slight 'stache. It was funny. It's nice to be able to lose yourself in that type of thing. But I mostly want to work with select directors. I won't be able to come in like I did with my documentary and have final cut. It's so much more of a communal process. So you have to be careful."
On what she learned from her Part of Me documentary film: "Yes: I am human and I will break. But the movie did the right thing. It helped support my music with a visual perspective and it showed the truth, the reality of what goes on behind the scenes and how you have to really have some armor. I really think it's by the grace of God that I got through it."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|The only problem with MIG is using the wrong wire for the job. I would weld that with .023 with an ER70S2 or 3 wire. Not always available since most welding is structural and most suppliers only stock 'S6 or 7. The S2 is made for doing sheetmetal. It grinds easy and has less shear strength than the others. Perfect for body panels. Zap it in 1 spot at a time overlapped so it looks like a tig weld and forget it for life. It works for me.
|I guess I need math help,
Thanks everyone. I thought oxyacetylene may be a better choice here, but I was not sure. The crack is small and it is not structurally critical but I want to repair it for cosmetic reasons, even though you can only see it with the hood open.
The car was built in October 1965; registered as a '66 when it was first sold. It is an MG Midget. Not exactly a hotrod, but you know those yappy little mutts that think they're big dogs? Same thing here.
|A small 3/4" crack shouldn't be anything to get all concerned about IMO, I'd gas weld it without hesitation, or a mig should work fine-just put a good weld down that's hot enough so it isn't brittle, don't over grind the weld causing the basemetal to thin and it should be fine. Or you could section 1/4" out of the cracked area and make a filler out of 1/4" round stock welded in place then grind to shape. I agree a small backing properly brazed in place would add a lot of strength and would be more crack resistant than just welding the crack. 40 year old fender, is this car a 55?
|it's woth getting tig welded. cracks are a tuff fix at best.
|A highly stressed area like that is not a good place to MIG since the MIG bead is so hard and relatively brittle. Brazing is a poor substitute, again because it is weaker than the surrounding metal and will eventually break in exactly the same place. You see a lot of old fenders with cracks that were repaired like that and are re-broken. IMHO, oxy/acetylene is the only proper fix of those fender edge tears. No need to pre-drill the crack root. Use a clamp to hold the edges together and run your welding bead right down the center of the crack using standard 1/16" mild steel filler rod. A little grinding and the fix is as strong as the base metal. Although gas welding dumps a lot of heat into the metal compared to MIG or better yet TIG, edges of fenders are almost always in a highly compound curved area which are much more resistant to heat damage than flat body panels. There may be a slight shrinkage dip next to the weld that you can easily tap out but there won't be that dreaded full panel warpage.
Welding stress fracture in sheet metal
I have a 40 year old fender that has a small stress crack (3/4" long) on the lip that forms the inner edge for the hood opening. The crack is located where the fender is supported by the grill surround.
I would normally open up the crack and weld or braze a small piece of metal behind it to form a doubler to give added support to that area. But, due to its location I cannot increase the thickness of the metal.
What are my options for repair? First I thought that I should drill a small hole where the crack ends to keep it from traveling further.
I could MIG weld the crack, but I fear the concentrated heat will embrittle the metal next to the weld causing it to crack next to the repair.
I could Oxyacetylene weld the crack, thinking that the additional heat may anneal the area if cooled slowly thereby making the repair less likely to crack, but not sure.
I don't think I should braze the crack since the metal does not overlap; I am afraid the repair would not hold up.
Any thoughts? Thanks for your help!

Valve timing: What's the purpose of degreeing a cam?
What is the purpose of "degreeing" a cam? I have never done it, and my cams work fine. I usually spend a few minutes finding TDC, and install the cam strait up. Unless you're using a keyway to adjust your valve timing, the closest you're goign to get to "exact" timing is the closest tooth on the timing chain. If it were off one tooth, you would be able to see that without using any tools.
I guess I never understood the point of degreeing a cam. As long as its manufactured properly, you shouldn't have a problem with just lining up the timing marks, correct? Specifically I'm talking SBC here, but I know its similar throughout makers.
Can somebody enlighten me as to why I would degree a cam? Is it just to make sure the cam is ground properly?
Same here, never really understood it too well. Always just lined up the holes, cam at 6 crank at 12, I trust the manufactures specs.
I would guess it has many different uses, maybe to degree a cam for a custom grind?
After the first two dial-ins I don't do it anymore either, unless you want to accomplish something specific theres really no need.
Looks good in a magazine however!
She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.
Han Solo
There are plenty of reasons to spend the time to degree every cam that you install. There are so many things that can happen during the manufacturing process. By degreeing the cam you can know for sure that you have the right cam.... that it's Installed at the proper centerline ect,,,, I have seen timing chains move the cam to 6 degrees retarded when the marks are aligned at zero.... I have gotten cams that the duration at .050 was off from what the card stated and so on. Most of the time if you use top quality parts none of this is an issue, But while the motors on the stand why not take the time and do it right????? Plus when you decide to build a killer motor and you "need" to do it right you allready have the experience.....
basically what you are saying is degreeing a cam tells you if you have to send it back or no, correct?
Degreeing a cam is like following the recipe for a proven end result. Not degreeing your taking your chances. More often it will be okay, but it's not exactly what it was meant to be.
Engine parts are not perfect. A camshaft can be off, timing chain can be off, crank key can be off, lifter bores can be off a few degrees, all of this affects cam timing.
For the street guy, dot to dot will get you in the game, but if any of the above is off, your hours of labor may be in vane and then you go chasing ignition, fuel and other things if the engine doesn't run right. So I suggest to all, degree the cam and always have that in correctly to eliminate it as a problem for poor performance.
Professional built engines for competition must be degreed in. An engine builders rep is on the line and the engine must perform.
Proper phasing of the valve events to let air and fuel in and out of an engine can be big power gains. An engine is nothing more then a pump, so if the everything is working together, the pump is very effiecent and that makes a great engine.
or just plain ol' peace of mind that all is what it should be!
A cam is ground using the offset pin as the driver on the grinding machine. Grinding it incorrectly is impossible, the sprockets however have a good possibility of having the keyway misaligned.
Mainly, it looks good in a magazine folks.
She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.

I've only done 1, I thought I was finding out where exact t.d.c. was. By the way , the first time it was (the cam) ground 2 degrees out, ran find but didn't have any lop. ( esk 505c) The second cam was right ,but the mark on the damper was 3/16 off, so I took a hacksaw blade and marked it right. While I had the degree wheel on the damper I mark it at 38 degrees cause thats where I was told total advance was to be. When I timed the engine, I would stab it and watch the timing , and move the dis. until it hit the 38 mark. Oh yea I have to go total centrif. advance cause I lost my vacuum. First 350 I built in 68
4 jaw,
I agree to some extent about the grinding process, but i have been a machinist for 20 years and there is always the chance of something being machined wrong. In a situtation where you have operators just loading and un-loading machines anything can happen. I have noticed a pattern also by degreeing all my cams. there are some companys that the numbers are always spot on, and others that it's a mystery how they get things to run. All in all even the bad cams are close enough for the motor to run ,but in the high performance line close is not right....
It's not always the case where you need to send the cam back. If you buy a cam that has a number @ .050 of 255 and you check it and find it only to be 250 you probably will not send the cam back. If the key ways on the chainn are marked wrong you can just set the proper center line and go with out returning the chain, but when a pattern develops then you start knowing where to buy the parts from and where not to.

My request:
- where is the brake light trigger/adjustment that turns on the DRL when you release the hand brake...I need to know ASAP..
My brake light is consistantly on, even when i put the hand brake down.
My reason:
A shop helped me install HIDs and adjusted something in the hand brake area that made the brake light on all the time to trick the car into thinking that the hand brake is on, so that the DRL would not turn on. I guess he did this because the DRL does not have enough power to power the HID, and thus leads to flickering of the HIDs...
the shop wanted to charge me to have them TRY to fix it...damn!!
** I disconnected the DRL socket that's located under the glove box...
now I just need to get that brake light off...
I can take a picture and post it if someone needs it to show me..
Thanks so much

Last year i first heard of the Pots and i didnt know what to expect. The flow was low but doable. The Pots of the Stillwater is located in the super scenic Woodbine Canyon. Its pretty short strech that offers good bang for its buck. I made it back this year about a month earlier than last years timing and with a good runnable flow, 955 cfs on the stilly gauge. Burgess from Billings decided to meet me on his way to the Payettes. The lines were super classic Montana technical boating with boofs, rock slides; just need one more thing more water! I could see this run being a blast with more water. quick but very doable. ill be back soon enough North Fork coming up this next weekend. Enjoy the Montana version of the Popo Agie.

|Community Organizer, Attorney
Michael Foley is a former member of the Ohio House of Representatives, representing the 14th District since 2006.
Prior to his time in the House, Foley had worked as director of the Cleveland Tenants Organization, as well as a court administrator, bailiff and community organizer.
Ohio House of Representatives[edit]
When Representative Dale Miller was appointed to replace Dan Brady in the Ohio Senate, Foley was among three who sought to succeed him in the Ohio House, along with former state representative Erin Sullivan. In the end, the House Democratic Caucus chose to leave the seat open until after the May primary. The primary election proved to be very close, and Foley won the election by just ten votes.[1] After a mandatory recount, it was initially decided that he had lost the race to teacher Bill Ritter, but ultimately he was deemed victorious. Foley went on to win the general election in the fall of 2006. He was reelected handily in 2008 and 2010.
In December 2007 after Steve Driehaus stepped down from his post as Assistant Minority Whip, Foley was appointed to the position by Minority Leader Joyce Beatty.[2] For the 128th General Assembly, House Speaker Armond Budish named Foley Chairman of the Housing and Urban Revitalization Committee.
Back to the minority in the 129th General Assembly, Foley is currently serving as a member of the Financial Institutions, Housing, and Urban Development Committee, the Insurance Committee and the Insurance Subcommittee on Workers' Compensation, the Public Utilities Committee, and the Ways and Means Committee.
Foley won a final term in 2012, defeating Richard Cyngier with 68% of the vote. He was term-limited in 2014.
Initiatives, policies and positions[edit]
Foley has struck out against Republicans for their initiative to repeal the estate tax, stating "Without it, local governments will be forced to cut services and further contemplate raising taxes on their own citizens to make up for the shortfall." [3]
A contributor to the Ohio transportation budget, Foley is critical of an exemption that eliminates the commercial activity tax for petroleum exchange transactions, stating it is a $5 million to $10 million annual "giveaway."[4]
Building off his opposition to S.B. 5, Foley introduced legislation with Bob Hagan that would allow voters to recall the governor, other statewide officeholders, and members of the General Assembly.[5] They stated that the measure was initiated by John Kasich's low approval ratings and the outcry that occurred after S.B. 5.[6]

Personal Training
Group Classes and Fit Camps
Health Assessments
Coming Soon
"This is not about a quick fix, it's a life style change, you need to be realistic and open-minded in both your goals and what you need in a trainer. My wife and I interviewed 5 different trainers with 5 different approaches. Fitness Freaks met our exact needs and had the right tools to support our needs. I can't thank Tracy enough for helping and teaching me to have a healthier life style. The worse part of it all was having to buy an entire new wardrobe, only my socks still fit!" –Peter Prive
"It is hard to find the words to explain what you have done for me!! When I first called I had just had my 3rd little one 8 wks earlier, was overweight, tired and had no sense of a me thing. Now I am proud to say and thanks to you, I am a runner and a skinny mama. Thanks to your program I felt comfortable, confident and wanted to over achieve on your expectations! You were not only my trainer who could easily kick my butt up hills (and loved to) you were also my running buddy who despite when you made me sprint to phone poles we could have a great chat. Thanks again Tracey and I have to recommend you to everyone I can and can't wait to set my next goal with you soon!"–Tamara Robson
"Tracy is a trainer that works you not only physically but mentally as well! As an obese person who finally decided to take the plunge (after 40+ years) and invest in myself, she has been a godsend! She has trained and guided me physically, mentally and nutritionally. She has given me the tools I needed to take the next steps to a new and improved me. She has supported and encouraged me during my ups and my downs. She motivates me to do my best. Thanks so much Tracy. I am looking forward to another year with a lot more accomplishments!"–Karen Dargent
From the moment that I met Tracy, I knew that she was going to change my life! It started with my on-line search for a personal trainer and I came across Tracy's website. A couple of friends joined with me to start on a personal training journey. That was back in April 2010. I now actually look forward to working out, am running again and I jump out of bed MOST Saturday mornings to attend Fit Camp. Thanks Tracy for being such a significant part of my fitness life.–Janet H.
Tracy has this great ability to motivate you without intimidating you. It's obvious that she's constantly looking for ways to make each workout better and more effective for us. Even after a year of training with Tracy, there are new ways to challenge my body in every class. Most importantly, Tracy's cheerful, unpretentious attitude creates a great vibe for the classes and you'll soon find yourself adopting a better attitude about getting stronger, being healthier and more fit!–Sharon V.
I've tried two other trainers in the past, and none were comparable to the awesome workout that Tracy gives! I've been training with Tracy for almost a year now, and the results are incredible. Her personalized workouts are like nothing I've ever tried before; I'd definitely recommend her to anyone looking for amazing results!–Peggy M.
If you are looking for a personal trainer or for a great bootcamp class then look no further. I have worked with Tracy one-on-one and attended her group sessions. I guarantee that she will give you a great work out regardless of your level – whether you are just starting out or have been working out forever. She's a great motivator and is a great partner to help you achieve your goals. This has been the best financial and personal investment I have ever made. Thank-you Tracy! You ROCK!–Pam P.
I've been going to Tracy's Fit Camp classes for 3 years. She really does kick up the intensity which is what I need. There's a great variety of cardio and strength exercises and Tracy does a great job of pushing yu to work hard. I think the highest reinging endorsement I can give is that this is the only class I've been able to get my husband to come to and stick to –Minette P.

Location: Plant Science Research2008 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416)
The overall goal of this research plan is to identify and characterize genes that can be used to improve disease resistance in wheat. Four objectives will address this goal. Objective 1: Use marker-assisted selection to introduce new Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistance into hard red spring wheat. Objective 2: Use transcript profiling and virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) to identify wheat genes involved in resistance to rust pathogens. VIGS will be completed in collaboration with Steve Scofield, ARS West Lafayette, Indiana. Objective 3: Use the model plant Brachypodium distachyon (Brachypodium) to identify and validate genes involved in stem rust resistance in wheat. Objective 4: Coordinate the Uniform Regional Performance Nursery for Spring Wheat Parents. Wheat improvement is a balancing act because it requires the simultaneous selection of multiple diverse traits to develop superior new cultivars. Two of the three diseases that are subjects of investigation here (FHB, leaf rust) presently cause economic losses to the U.S. wheat crop, while the third disease (stem rust) has the potential to do so. By taking a multidisciplinary approach to improving wheat disease resistance as proposed in this research plan, multiple avenues for protecting wheat against these three diseases will become available. Providing strategies, knowledge, and tools for improving wheat disease resistance, as delineated by the first three objectives, will lead to reduced yield losses attributable to FHB and leaf rust, and will ensure that the potential disease threat from stem rust can be addressed proactively. The fourth objective subsequently provides an opportunity for all spring wheat breeders to evaluate the overall performance of advanced germplasm, including assessment of resistance to FHB, leaf rust, and stem rust, in addition to overall agronomic quality.
1b. Approach (from AD-416)
Wheat is the most widely grown crop in the world and is a major staple crop for humans. Wheat is economically very important to the United States, which ranks third among all countries in wheat production and is the world's largest wheat exporter. Despite its importance as a crop, low prices that are generally paid for wheat grain result in small profit margins for producers. Further, both abiotic and biotic stresses can cause significant fluctuations in U.S. wheat production. Reducing wheat losses associated with the fungal diseases Fusarium head blight, leaf rust, and stem rust will enhance both the stability and profitability of U.S. wheat production. This research project seeks to contribute to the goal of controlling these three diseases by completing integrated genetic, molecular genetic, and genomics research that will further our understanding of genes and underlying molecular processes in wheat that are involved in resistance to each of these diseases. The results of this research will provide both new resources and new knowledge that can be used to increase resistance to each of these three diseases in wheat. This will lead to improved wheat yield and yield stability and will ensure that the U.S. wheat crop is protected against current and future disease threats.
3. Progress Report
Resistance characterization of wheat near-isogenic lines developed to contain different Fusarium head blight resistance genes is being pursued. In summer 2008, we completed what we expect to be the last series of Fusarium head blight resistance evaluations in wheat lines that theoretically differ principally by the presence or absence of one of five different genes conditioning Fusarium head blight resistance. We also have collaborators undertaking the same evaluations in other locations. These data should provide the last experimental data needed to make decisions about which of the genes individually confer some resistance and thus are amenable to gene pyramiding studies. A project to improve Fusarium head blight resistance in the forage grain triticale is advancing. We have begun vernalizing seedlings of triticale back-cross 2 (BC2) families that are expected to be segregating for a major Fusarium head blight resistance gene from the wheat line Sumai 3. Our research with the model grass Brachypodium distachyon continues. This has included developing segregating F2 populations from crosses between the main inbred line of Brachypodium, which we developed several years ago, and a line collected in Spain. Putative new F1 hybrids were developed from crosses between three different inbred genetic stocks. (NP 301, Components 2 (Problem Statements 2B and 2C) and 3 (Problem Statements 3A, 3B, and 3C))

SPEC's CPU2006 Added to Our CPU Test Suite

I figured this way anyone will have a better idea what CPU2006 is and does and can better judge the results that will soon start to appear. On the other hand Rob get a time saving link he can use on the CPU2006 section of the reviews if he so wishes.
There's a whole lot more that can be said about CPU2006, of course. The documentation of this suite is a sure indicator of that.
For instance, the usage or not of processor instruction extensions on the tests (SSE4.2, the newly introduced AVX, etc). We ended up deciding not to use optimization flags, because we figured the inclusion of those would not reflect the type of real-world coverage that is demanded of a benchmark suite for systems review, as is the case with Techgage cpu and computer reviews. So, the configuration files we ended up producing reflect the typical compilation flags of any mainstream application.
Commercial software of the type we tend to use everyday, does not usually ship compiled with processor extension flags. An application optimized for AVX, for instance, will crash on any processor which doesn't have this extension (that's anything that has come before Intel Sandy Bridge and AMD Bulldozer). So, only very specialized software, developed in-house, and for systems known to the developer, usually carries these optimizations.
Still, we have prepared an AVX configuration file (and Rob's still waiting for me to give him a SSE4.2 one). It's likely there is a need to occasionally discuss processors in this context -- either on review articles or, more likely, on separate articles. Processor extensions can be big contributors to CPU performance on certain specialized processing areas. I'm particularly excited(!) about AVX, for instance. So in case there is a need to enter into that type of article, Techgage has it covered too.

Get Mad!
House music reigned supreme at Vagabond Saturdays throughout 2009, with weekly performances by such classic house luminaries as Frankie Knuckles, Little Louie Vega, Jellybean Benitez, and Jesse Saunders. So far the soulful house vibes promise to live on at the downtown hotpot in 2010, and Saturday night brings a special show by DJ/producer Julius the Mad Thinker, one of the great enduring exponents of the Chicago house sound. As co-founder of the internationally-renowned DJ collective 3Degrees Global, JtMT has garnered a solid reputation since the '90s, spinning alongside legends like Frankie Knuckles, Farley "Jackmaster" Funk, Derrick Carter, Louie Vega, Derrick May and Ron Trent, among others. He's made his mark playing at top clubs in the house birthplace of Chicago, in addition to the Detroit Electronic Music Festival, Louie Vega's Roots at Cielo in New York City, Marques Wyatt's DEEP event in Los Angeles, and various parties in Boston, San Francisco, Washington D.C., and Miami. In June of last year, JtMT came down to Miami to shoot the music video for "Dejame", a soulful upbeat Afro-Latin house number produced in collaboration with Kaialexander. The video pays homage to Miami's small but loving house music scene and laid-back Latin flair. Saturday's performance at Vagabond comes on the heels of the music video's premiere, which will get a screening in the club's main room at midnight on Saturday. Julius The Mad Thinker will be joined on decks by Saraswati resident DJ Ivan Diaz.
