Patriots safety Bret Lockett remembers when he was really young, maybe 5 years old, popping in Michael Jackson's "Moonwalker" video and sitting glued for hours in front of the television.
"My mother knew that was the only thing that could keep me glued down to the seat rather than running amuck around the house," Lockett said with a laugh, noting he even had the famous Michael Jackson hat.
He's always been passionate about music and the industry, and he turned last year's season-ending injury into an opportunity to pursue one of his dreams. Lockett founded Inception Entertainment and will release a mixtape, "The Campaign," in August or September. His music video, "Let's Go," hit the Internet on Wednesday.
Lockett and his friends used to record music for fun during his junior and senior years of high school, but he didn't have the time to take it seriously because he was always playing sports. Lockett tore his pectoral muscle last year during the first two-a-days session of training camp, and after surgery, he spent some of his downtime at a friend's recording studio in Providence.
The "Let's Go" video, which was shot during a weekend in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, marked the first big milestone on his way toward releasing, "The Campaign." Lockett wants the music to come across as positive and motivational — "a gentleman's mixtape," he called it — that doesn't disrespect people or exploit women.
So far, Lockett has gotten some very favorable responses from his Patriots teammates, friends, family members and total strangers through Twitter, Facebook, emails and texts.
"It's a beautiful thing to see a product that I put my heart, soul, sweat and tears into, and to see it come out like this and to see everybody like it, and love it and be so accepting to it," Lockett said. "It's a great feeling. I can't explain it."
Lockett has fully recovered from his injury and has been working out with some teammates. He said they have already started joking with him about his video and knows he'll hear more of it when the season starts. Hey, if they'll rag on Tom Brady for an Earth Day ad, everyone is fair game at Gillette Stadium.
"I am prepared. I know everybody wants to joke around, and we're all big boys," Lockett said. "I am definitely ready for whatever these guys are going to say in the locker room. It will be funny, and I'm sure I'll have some good laughs."
Lockett remained a presence in the locker room last season while he was rehabbing, and he spoke with Bill Belichick and the coaching staff about his music venture. Lockett hinted the coaches might not have been fully on board with his decision to pursue music on the side, but he knew they definitely understood his passion for it. Lockett also stressed that music will "never conflict" with football.
"It was almost like I can take a negative [with the injury] and just wait for the upcoming year and do it all over again," Lockett said. "Or I can turn a negative into a positive."
Lockett said he'll have some more updates in the near future, and he's got some surprises up his sleeve for "The Campaign" that he wasn't ready to reveal just yet. One thing that was evident, though, was Lockett's pride for his musical endeavor, which has been a lifetime in the making.
"The thing is with music, it motivates everyone around the world. It's the hidden language. It gives me an opportunity to motivate myself," Lockett said. "The things I talk about are what motivate me in life, and what in turn I believe will motivate some other people. It's a passion."

BYD to build China's biggest auto-testing center
By George Gao From:Gasgoo.comNovember 17, 2009
Shanghai, November 17 (Gasgoo.com) China's battery and electric car manufacturer BYD Co. announced its plan yesterday to build China's largest vehicle-testing center with investment of 1.5 billion yuan ($219.7 million), China Daily reported. This move is aimed to lift its vehicle quality and R&D capability.
The auto-testing center, located in Shaoguan city, Guangdong province, will also include an auto-parts production base. The project is scheduled to start operation by 2012. With this testing center, the largest in China, BYD expects to become a global leader in auto R&D capability and vehicle quality control.
The automaker currently has a nationwide quality control and R&D system, including vehicle inspection lines, at its manufacturing bases in Xi'an and Shenzhen; a vehicle crash testing lab in Shanghai and an R&D center at its headquarters in Shenzhen, said China Daily.
In late September, BYD launched a high-speed curved cycling track in Shenzhen, the fifth proving ground of its kind in China, making it the first Chinese automaker to have its own circuit.
BYD, backed by investment guru Warren Buffet, dreams of becoming China's No. 1 automaker in about five years and the world's leading carmaker by 2025. It plans to get there by selling as many as 9 million hybrid or plug-in cars a year by 2025.

China's BYD lifts 2010 auto sales target 14 pct
To start selling e6 electric car in China in Q1
* Plan to sell e6 in the U.S. remains unchanged (Adds details)
By Joanne Chiu
HONG KONG, Dec 30 (Reuters) - Chinese battery and car maker BYD (1211.HK), backed by U.S. billionaire Warren Buffet, said it has raised its 2010 sales target, as it prepares to roll out its first electric cars.
BYD, 10 percent owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (BRKa.N), aims to sell 800,000 vehicles next year, up from a previous target of 700,000 units, said Paul Lin, manager of the company's marketing department.
He attributed the revision to robust demand from Chinese consumers following Beijing's 4 trillion yuan ($586 billion) economic stimulus plan, which includes several measures specifically aimed at boosting car sales.
"The company already reached its 2009 target of 400,000 vehicles in November, so now we are setting our 2010 target to double that number at 800,000 units," Lin said, adding that this year's final sales should come in at around 440,000 units.
BYD's F3 sedan was the best-selling car in China in the first 11 months of this year, leading other popular domestic and foreign models, such as, Hyundai Motor's (005380.KS) new Elantra and Chery Automobile's QQ, official data showed.
To help meet market demand, BYD's new bus plant in the central Chinese city of Changsha and a car plant in the northwestern city of Xian will start operation next year, adding up to 700,000 units of capacity, Lin said.
Henry Li, general manager of BYD Auto's export arm, told Reuters in July that the firm aims to be a major global player by 2025, with vehicle sales of 8-9 million. [ID:nHKG366761]
BYD, which had sold several hundred of its plug-in hybrid, F3DM, unveiled in December of 2008, plans to start selling its first electric car, the e6, in China in the first quarter of 2010, Lin said.
The e6 had passed government safety inspections in the country and received other necessary permits, he said, adding the firm remained committed to export the model to the United States next year.
BYD's shares, traded in Hong Kong, have surged more than 422 percent since the beginning of this year, leading a roughly 49 percent gain in the broader market .HSI and bolstering its founder, Wang Chuanfu, to the top of Forbes 2009 list of China's wealthiest.
The shares fell 3.78 percent in early afternoon trading on Wednesday, lagging a 0.51 percent fall of the market. (Reporting by Joanne Chiu; writing by Doug Young and Fang Yan; Editing by Chris Lewis and Valerie Lee)

China's BYD: Year-over-year net profit triples
For China's rapidly-growing industry, 2009 will be remembered as the year when domestic sales skyrocketed despite global tumbles from more established players from Europe, Japan and the United States. Warren Buffett-backed BYD – or Build Your Dreams – says its net profit increased to 3.79 billion yuan, or about $555.4 million, up significantly over the 1.02 billion yuan the year before.
Rapidly increasing sales of BYD's best seller, its F3 sedan (pictured), bolstered the automaker's net profit. Of BYD's 450,000 new car deliveries last year, 290,000 were of its F3 sedan, which bears more than a passing resemblance to Toyota's last-generation Corolla.
BYD is unique in that an American investor controls almost 10 percent of the Chinese automaker. Buffett's MidAmerican Energy Holdings, the utility-oriented division of Berkshire Hathaway, has a 9.9 percent share in BYD. The company says about 53 percent of its revenue was derived from automobile sales; batteries and mobile handsets made up most of the rest of its sales.
The Chinese automaker says that it still plans to open a North American headquarters in 2010 to handle distribution of its e6 electric crossover vehicle, part of its goal to increase its export sales to about 10 percent of its business.

Daimler plays down talk it could sell Maybach brand
4:17am EDT
FRANKFURT/SHANGHAI (Reuters) - German carmaker Daimler AG <DAIGn.DE> dismissed market talk on Tuesday it could divest its Maybach super luxury brand, after Chinese media reported that a Chinese firm was considering buying the brand.
The Guangzhou Daily and other local media said on Monday that Chinese car and battery maker BYD <1211.HK> was weighing the possibility of taking over Maybach from Daimler and that it would make a move once the brand was put up for sale.
"Maybach is an important part of Daimler's product portfolio. There is no other decision," a Daimler spokesman said.
Daimler sold just 200 units of the Maybach brand last year, a fraction of the volumes that BMW's <BMWG.DE> Rolls-Royce or Volkswagen's <VOWG_p.DE> Bentley manage.
Paul Lin, a spokesman at BYD in the southern Chinese boomtown of Shenzhen, where the firm is based, also denied the reports.
"It's not true, it's market speculation. We got calls from the media and we have checked with Chairman Wang," Lin said, referring to Wang Chuanfu, chairman of BYD.
Asked whether BYD had had any initial contact with Daimler on buying Maybach, he replied: "No."
Hong-Kong listed BYD is 10 percent owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway <BRKa.N> and has its roots as a battery maker for Nokia <NOK1V.HE> and Motorola <MOT.N>.
BYD would focus for now on its cooperation with Daimler on developing electric cars for the Chinese market, Lin told Reuters.
The two announced the plan at the start of this month, underscoring the German automaker's dependence on outside companies to gain share in the market for zero-emission vehicles.

BYD Fined, Factories Confiscated By China in Land Dispute Case
By Bloomberg News - Oct 13, 2010
BYD Co., the Chinese carmaker part- owned by billionaire Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc., was fined and ordered to surrender seven factories in central China after the government said it used land illegally.
BYD will pay 2.95 million yuan ($443,000) and the factories in Xi'an, Shaanxi province, will be confiscated, the Ministry of Land and Resources said on its website today.
"This will affect their capacity expansion in the medium to long term," said Yu Bing, an auto analyst with Pingan Securities Co. in Shanghai. "If you consider their production requirements in the next two to three years, they will need to bolster their capacity now."
The decision adds to setbacks for the Shenzhen-based automaker that include declining domestic sales and scaled-back plans to sell electric cars in California. BYD, China's fastest- growing carmaker by sales last year, reported a 25 percent drop in September auto sales today, even as deliveries rose at rivals SAIC Motor Co. and General Motors Co.
The company's earnings and operations won't be affected by the confiscation, John Lee, BYD's head of investor relations, said by phone from Shenzhen. In a later filing to Hong Kong's stock exchange, BYD said the land and buildings were part of an expansion project and hadn't yet contributed any production, sales or profit. Construction was at an initial stage, it said.
Current capacity of 700,000 cars will be enough to meet demand this year, and BYD will boost production at existing plants in China if market demand increases, Lee said. In the statement, BYD said it expected no "material adverse impact."
Shares Drop
BYD, the maker of China's best-selling F3 compact car, fell 0.7 percent to HK$56.50 at the 4 p.m. close in Hong Kong trading. The stock has dropped 17 percent this year, while the benchmark Hang Seng Index has gained 7.3 percent.
The company in August slashed its 2010 sales outlook by 25 percent to 600,000 vehicles. Buffett affirmed his support for BYD last month when he visited the automaker in Shenzhen, saying it will be a leader in electric cars.
BYD unlawfully built seven factories on 112 acres of farmland it agreed to buy from an economic development agency in Xi'an, the land ministry said July 15. The company built the plants even though 92 percent of the land was still zoned for agriculture, according to the ministry.
A decision on whether to punish the company was to be made by Sept. 30, the ministry said at the time.
Spending on Plant
BYD spent 149 million yuan on the plant construction as of June 30, according to its interim report issued Sept. 19. The factories would have had a combined capacity of 200,000 cars when completed, it said.
Berkshire Hathaway owns about 10 percent of the automaker through Des Moines, Iowa-based MidAmerican Energy Holdings Co.
BYD, headed by Chairman Wang Chuanfu, started expanding its production as China surpassed the U.S. last year to become the world's biggest auto market. Its existing Xi'an factory, built in 2005, can assemble 300,000 of its 3-series cars, including the F3 and G3 models, annually.
The carmaker planned to invest 5 billion yuan in a new factory in Xi'an with the same capacity, Wang said in August.
Even as domestic brands such as BYD have expanded capacity more aggressively this year, this may not translate into higher sales, Hungbin Toh, an analyst at Credit Suisse Group AG, wrote in a report this month. The automaker may miss its reduced sales forecast for this year, Toh wrote.
The government decision announced today may help bring BYD relief with regard to its plans for an A-share listing in China, Pingan Securities' Yu said.
Share Sale Delayed
A day before the ministry announcement in July, BYD said it may delay the share sale to wait for "better timing" after stock markets fell. BYD planned to raise 2.85 billion yuan for projects including the development of lithium- and solar-powered batteries.
Wang said Aug. 23 the company is proceeding with the listing and hopes to sell the shares later this year.
"A resolution to the case will end the uncertainty surrounding the stock for investors," Yu said. "Investors like BYD for their new energy business, and it is still a very recognized company."

It seems that the past 3 months have been really tough for Byd.
This month, they left China's top 10 manufacturer.
I hope that they'll recover.

I have 2 gsds and a apbt and things are great here. The biggest issue I have is the fear that if a fight broke out I won't be able to stop it. Sweetie (the apbt, she came with the name lol) is a rescue, I adopted her when she was about 2 years old and was extremely animal aggressive, and would NOT let go of a toy if her life depended on it. It took a lot of work but she's a true sweetie now. She has an immediate response to 'aus' meaning drop it. That was my primary goal with her.
I have had a few issues of the shepherds starting tiffs with her, and she will fight back but will stop the moment I say 'aus'. They compliment each other nicely, the gsds like to do a lot of bouncing and body slamming and she takes it really well. Nothing fazes her. I feed them all together in the kitchen and there is zero issues with resource guarding. Toys are available to every one, as are bones.
I do not let her play tug o war with the other dogs, as things could escalate quickly I think. I also do not leave them alone unsupervised (which you shouldn't do with an apbt and another animal anyways). I have one crate in the livingroom and they all share it, sometimes more than one dog in the crate at a time. I have worked really hard to get to this point with my dogs. I also have a border collie x and everyone except for the youngest gsd are rescues that came with baggage.

Check out the Bad Rap kennels Home | BAD RAP Tons of good info.
I would consider a female that is older than three and is OK with dogs. A 4 year old Pitt that has not displayed (genetic) DA is the safest bet.
The play style of both breeds is compatible. A good Pit is the most fun dog you can imagine. I am personally hesitant to get one but they are one of my favorite dogs to work with.
|Sabis mom
Thanks, I've definitely worked around that before and made a specific introduction protocol that includes taking ownership of food, toys, crate, etc. Just as toys are not around for my dogs to just decide to own, the crate is always set up in my house as a good place to relax, but ultimately owned by me. I also balance that by making sure that each dog has a specific crate it is allowed to enter. I've even tagged crates that look the same so I remember which is which even if I break them down and set them back up. Only the dog that is allowed to use it is ever allowed to enter, so it is a bit of a solitude spot, not for the dog to own, but to retreat if it feels overwhelmed or relax if it needs a break.

I have a relatively small house, but it has been modified for crate/rotate routines with built in gates that can be pinned open as I like.
|Sabis mom
Thanks, I am most definitely aware of the "terrier tenacity" if they decide to go after something. I am definitely planning on having a very carefully controlled introduction and socialization process between the two, and the "safe zone" crates are a wonderful idea, especially in the smaller space that I'm in.

Thanks for the advice everyone! Will read those links Chip18 And we'll see what I come across. I know the workers very well at the shelter I would be adopting the dog from, so they will also help me in finding one that would be a good match for me and my dog. I will also be doing a neutral ground meeting between the new dog and Kaiju before I adopt to make sure they don't just immediately hate each other.
Nose to Nose intors is a sure loser! They tried that crap with my BullMastiff/APBT mix years ago...they told me no, I can't take their dog!

|I have had pit bulls and my shepherds together for years... I've never had a problem. They are a good match usually. I would definitely recommend and opposite gendered pair, and adopting a 2y/o + Pittie to ensure you know how it is going to act around other dogs RE; aggression.
|I've had pits and shepherds for the past 11 years. At one point I had two Shep X and a pit--all female. I've never had an issue but I am also very vigilant. I monitor their play. I feed in separate areas with separate bowls. I think that a puppy is easier to incorporate than an adult but that is just my opinion. I would prefer opposite sex.

The South Panola and Lafayette County Spring game was played in front of 1, 500 plus fans at the Commodore's stadium and had several good looking Division 1 prospects.
"Their QB (Montez Phillips) is a difference maker," added South Panola head coach, Lance Pogue. "There is no question they will be the team to beat in (Class) 4A. My belief is there is not a better team in 4A, unless they are hiding somewhere. Their QB can win it on his own. He can single handily keep them going. But they have a tough front seven on defense. That number 75 (DT) is a load, and they have good skilled players. But their QB can make it happen with his arms and legs. There are not many in the state in his class."
South Panola analysis
The Tiger have won five straight Class 5A state championships and 75 straight games, which is the nation's longest winning streak, but they took a 7-0 defeat to Lafayette County last Thursday.
This offseason, they lost four of their five offensive linemen due to graduation but they did return 1st Team All-State selection, Don Blevins.
The problems with the Tiger's offense, as they failed to score a TD in the 7-0 defeat to Lafayette County on Thursday, was the fact that they were not playing with their starting QB, David Renfroe (had warts removed from hand) starting tailback Nicholas Parker and starting FB, Reuben Corley (taking care of books).
Add this to the fact that they went from a power offense to the spread this Spring and it spelled trouble.
Without their trigger man, David Renfroe, the backup QB simply did not run the spread as the Tigers would like to. But with David's accuracy and pocket awareness, expect South Panola to be a much more efficient offense next season.
|OT Don Blevins
Don is a 6' 2", 295 pound offensive tackle that is being moved to center in the summer. He could play anywhere from guard to center on the next level.
Blevins moves his feet very well and has a good push in the running game.
"We are going to move Don to center this summer," added South Panola head coach, Lance Pogue. "He is an All-State lineman and is the only guy returning from last year's line. He will be the one that we look to give our young guys some leadership. Don will be our catalyst there next year. We think he is one of the top offensive linemen in the state. He has great strength, feet, and can really run."
LSU, MSU, Alabama, and Arkansas are his early favorites. He has not received any scholarship offers as of date. Like we see with so many South Panola prospects who dominate on the high school level, his height (6' 2") is probably hurting him a bit with the college recruiters.
We still think Don is worth taking a serious look at, regardless of his height, due to his footwork and brute strength.
David Conner
The South Panola offense was lacking the explosiveness that we are so use to seeing without David in at tailback. We have seen so many talented and explosive players in the backfield in the past from Toward Samford to Marcus Griffith to Chris Young to Derek Pegues to LeRoy Diggs to Darius Barksdale.
While the Tigers had many solid tailbacks who played in the game, none had the hop and quickness that David Brought to the table.
There two longest drives came when David was in at tailback, as he only played two full series at the tailback position.
But it is on defense where David has made the biggest impact so far in his high school career.
Last season, he led the Tigers in total tackles (97), tackles for losses (18), sacks (14), and forced fumbles (3). Conner and Dennis Thames out of Louisville were the only juniors named to Mississippi's 1st Team All-State squad that includes all classifications.
"I found out last year when we played George County that a skilled player can go both ways and take the pounding and still be good at the end of the game," added Coach Pogue. "Alonzo Lawrence played CB and WR for them and was just as strong at the end of the game as he was at the start. I think David is the top player in the state of Mississippi. We are going to set 10 to 15 plays out for him on offense because he can be our home run hitter, and he is the key to our defense. I will put it this way. I would not trade David Conner for anybody else in Mississippi."
Ole Miss, MSU, and Auburn have offered. Michigan is also heavily involved.
Marjarvin Chapman
If it were not for his lack of height, looks to be around 5' 10", he would be one of the more sought after defensive tackles in the country.
"Margarvin is just your typical nose guard. He is a little short, but he has great strength and a real powerful body," stated Coach Pogue. "He is the anchor for our run defense. Chapman is a run stopper, no question about it."
Memphis and Marshall are showing the most interest.
Kendrick Strong
"Kendrick had an elbow injury and probably should have not played in the game," added Coach Pogue. "But he wanted to play anyway. He has great strength and quickness coming off of the end. He has that first step you are looking for in a speed rusher. He is 6' 2", 260 right now."
Ole Miss, Memphis, Tennessee, and MSU are showing the most interest
Marvin Burdette
The 5' 10", 240 pounder is what you
term a "between the tackles" linebacker. Anything that is run between
the tackles, Marvin is going to meet you head on and he will simply lay the wood
on you.
It did look like he struggles getting outside the lanes, but with his power and physical nature, there is a spot for him on the D1 level.
"He is as good as you will find," commented Pogue. "I really think MSU is about to offer him. Marvin has great strength and great instincts. He is a true ILB and was an impact player for us last year. Burdette is a run stopper and a great kid too. He is probably the most underrated player off of our team."
MSU is showing the most interest. Memphis and Southern Mississippi are also in the mix.
Underclassmen at South Panola
Some non-seniors on South Panola's team that you will need to keep an ear out for (talking to you D1 recruiters) are rising freshman DL Isaac Gross (6' 5", 250), rising sophomore RB Quintarrius Griffin ( 5' 10", 220), and rising juniors RB Nicolas Parker (6' 1", 225) and DE Devin Clark(6' 3", 240).
**On DE Issaac Gross
"I really do not like to talk about the youngsters to the media, but I will leave it at this, he has a chance to put his mark on the South Panola program. He has it all, just a freak. We are going to bring him along slowly, but not too many 8th graders have come through this program like this one.
**On RB Quintarrius Griffin
"That is Jeramie Griffin's little brother. He is about 5' 10", 218 and has 4.7 speed. He has a great chance to be a good one here. He is a very physical back but also has great footwork. He has that good burst. Griffin has a lot of potential."
**On RB Nicholas Parker
"He did not play too much tonight because his ankle is banged up. But he is our starting tailback, and proved last year that he can really get it done on the championship level. He did a great job filling in for Tig (Darius Barksdale) last year."
**On DE Devin Clark
"He is a 6' 3", 260 pound end who I think will grow into a DT. Everybody that came through here this spring kept asking me about Devin. They were like, who is this guy? Devin will get a lot of (recruiting) attention next year. He is a big guy who has great strength. Devin is just a great athlete. We will use him some at TE too, if that gives you any indication on what type of athlete he is.
Lafayette County analysis
We will have to agree with Coach Pogue, the Commodores will have to be considered if not the favorite, one of the top favorites to win the state championship this year.
Montez Phillips
Lafayette took advantage of the new secondary that South Panola is sporting, as Montez threw a lot of deep balls that were basically hail merry passes that were completed.
The Commodores did a good job at attacking the the Tiger's weaknesses.
But like Coach Pogue said, Montez can take over a game all by himself. He is that good and will be one of the leading candidates for Mr. Football in the state of Mississippi.
Ole Miss, MSU, and USM have offered and Alabama is also in the mix.
**The #75 that Coach Pogue was alluding to was the nose guard for Lafayette County, Jermaine Pegues. If this kid were not in the 5' 9" ish range, he would be wanted by everyone in the country. He single handily destroyed the Tigers offensive line as he was in South Panola's backfield all day long.
Pegues brings a load, around 300 pounds, but is so fast off of the ball and extremely strong.
He might be one of those players that nobody takes a chance on, but one school, and they come out smelling like a rose.
Should be interesting to watch.

I wanted a custom design as there were certain elements I want included and what impressed me was how Cheryl recommended I take an existing design of hers and add elements to it which would keep the price down. That is someone who cares more about getting the best for her clients and I couldn't be happier that I took that advice and now have such beautiful invitations. Cheryl is fab and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!

This is really a tough decision...
On one hand I know that the RCE Black springs are probably the best option for me when it comes to the longevity of my OEM shocks. But on the other hand, the H&R Sports and the Eibach Pro Kit are both cheaper and will lower the car a little more than the RCE Blacks. Like I mentioned in my original post, I don't mind wearing out the OEM shocks faster but I also don't want to sacrafice the stock "sport" feel. I mean let's face it, we all didn't buy a WRX for a smooth, floating on a cloud style ride but at the same time, I don't need or want to feel every bump in the road...

My suggestion would be to do it right the first time. No sense in buying springs, only to turn around and replace the struts shortly after. I would wait a bit, save a little money, and buy the springs, struts, and mounts at once. Then have TIC align it to what you want and call it a day.

Haha, I hear you. I was just looking for real life input from people who have tried the "outside the box" methods of lowering their car.
And speaking of TIC, I did contact them. They highly recommended the RCE Blacks as the only aftermarket spring capable of being paired with the OEM shocks. At this point, that is the direction I'm leaning, it's just so tempting seeing WRX's lowered on Eibach and H&R springs on the stock shocks...

Epic springs and Konis here. I LOVE my ride now, but I was hitting the bump stops and feeling vulnerable as hell for the few thousand miles I drove on the stock struts. I'm with jd - just do it all and get it right the first time. One day - Springs, struts, alignment, done. If you're not doing the installs yourself, you'll save a ton of labor costs this way. If you are, you'll save yourself a ton of time.

Friends don't let friends drive Mitsubishis.
I have a WRX premium sedan and went with the Epic springs which I'm currently running on stock struts. My goal was to get ride of that horrific wheel gap (lowered to the point it looks like a sports car but not a racing car) and eliminate some of the body roll (I've read that it helps with under-steer too; however, I don't track my car or drive it to those types of limits on public roads ... so I can't speak to that). So far I'm pretty happy with the set-up. I've had them installed now maybe 5-6 months and a few thousand miles. I personally have not hit the bump-stops ... at least not yet ... and I've hit a couple good bumps that I didn't see until the last second. I do plan on installing matched performance shocks in the future, but wanted to get what I could out of the stock shocks for now and use my "car budget" for other modifications.
I attached a pic to try and give you an idea on how much it lowered it (sorry for crappy iPhone pic)
Hope this helps ...

Ok so I met up with a local guy last night who is running RCE Blacks on his 2012 Sedan and after seeing his car I've decided to order a set. I was pleasantly surprised by how much the RCE Blacks lowered his car. It was a night and day difference next to mine and it rode almost exactly the same as my stock springs. It will probably be a little while before I order the springs, but I'll update this thread whenever I get them on the car.
Thanks for all of the pictures and input!

I know you ordered RCE's but wanted to chime in. I ran eibach's and hated them. Besides clunking, the ride was horrible. I just installed Epic springs last saturday and the drop is just like the picture above but the ride is so much better. +1 for Epic.
the rce springs are an excellent choice. Glad you picked those as they will not do you wrong.
The factory dampers however.. are completely terrible. This car is so far under-damped its not even remotely funny. Change the dampers as soon as you have the $$ and you'll be amazed at the improvement.

Garretson Wine Company's focus is solely on crafting the best Rhône wines possible. In honor of the couple's shared heritage, each wine features some manner of Gaelic-inspired reference. "You may not be able to pronounce the names," admits Garretson, "but remember, you don't pronounce wines. You drink them."
While over the years Garretson has been no doubt instrumental in bringing fellow wine drinkers into the Rhône wine fold, he still feels a strong sense of obligation to keep spreading the word. "If I hadn't been given that bottle of Condrieu so long ago, all of this may never have happened," he insists. "That one bottle led me to California, led me to a wonderful woman and an incredible family...not to mention all of the friends I've gained along the way. Just think: perhaps a bottle of one of our wines might just have the same affect on someone somewhere. That would be the finest honor we could hope for." View all Garretson Wines
About Central Coast
The largest of California's wine growing regions, the Central Coast produces the majority of California's wine. The district sprawls out, covering most of the vineyard land between San Francisco and Santa Barbara. Smaller sub-AVAs of the Central Coast include Monterey Bay, Paso Robles, Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Maria Valley, Santa Cruz Mountains and many others.
Notable FactsGrape varieties range from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel. Some Central Coast wine is generic, bulk wine that contributes to the high production numbers of the area. But many winemakers and wineries, particular in some of the smaller AVAs, are small production artisans, creating unique and high-quality wine. The great thing about the Central Coast is its diversity - you're able to find a number of grape varieties and styles at a number of different price points.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Autoimmune disorders are diseases in which the body's immune system attacks healthy tissue. These disorders can affect many different parts of the body. In our Pediatric Neuro-immunology Program at Boston Children's Hospital, we care for children and adolescents who have autoimmune disorders that affect their central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord). These diseases are referred to as neuro-immune disorders. They include:
We are dedicated to providing comprehensive care for children and families affected by these rare disorders.
One major group of neuro-immune conditions is "demyelinating" disorders, in which the immune system damages the protective covering of nerves, myelin. Children with these conditions are cared for in a related program at Boston Children's, our Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders Program. These disorders include:
Our program is part of the Boston Children's Brain Center, which is made up of more than 100 doctors, including some of the world's top
pediatric neurologists, neurosurgeons, psychiatrists, psychologists and developmental behavioral pediatricians.
Many of these disorders involve not only the nervous system but other parts of the body, as well. Depending on your child's individual case, we work with other Boston Children's specialists who have expertise in caring for children with these conditions. These include:
Our program is designed to support all of the needs that your child and family may have as your child is being treated.

A revised top 10 list
I'm still haunted by a late 1960s survey of American Catholics. Participants were asked just one question: What's the more important law -- love your neighbor, or give up meat on Friday? More than 50 percent responded, "Give up meat on Friday." When meatless Fridays trump love of neighbor, we Catholics are in deep trouble.
David Letterman didn't invent the top 10 list. In one form or another, such inventories have been around for a long time -- even during the biblical period.

UPDATE 1-French firm Spie struggles to hook investors for listing - sources
(Adds detail on deal)
By Freya Berry and Matthieu Protard
LONDON/PARIS Oct 8 (Reuters) - French energy services firm Spie is struggling to attract investors for its Paris listing amid tough market conditions, with books still not covered the day before the deal is due to price and start trading, two sources familiar with the matter said.
The company is planning to sell up to 1.2 billion euros ($1.5 billion) of new and existing shares on the Euronext Paris exchange, valuing it at up to 2.75 billion euros.
But after a two-week bookbuilding process Spie may be forced to rethink the deal, with sources saying that the disappointing debuts of European companies such as Rocket Internet were causing investors to shy away from initial public offerings (IPOs).
"Markets are not good but to some degree we have only ourselves to blame," one of the sources said, referring to the poor aftermarket performance of some firms.
Rocket, which made its stock market debut last week, is currently trading down 21.6 percent from its offering price, at 33.9 euros at 1414 GMT.
"Last week was pretty horrible," the second source said. "Business has been slower than anticipated."
Spie had set a price range of 15-18.30 euros a share for the global part of the offering, with employees entitled to a discount. Suite...

The weather outside might be getting a little frightful…
Well, for you at least… Here in LA, the sun seems always be shining! Whoops, did I just rub that in your face?
…But that doesn't give you ANY excuses to give up exercising during the cooler and downright FRIGID MONTHS!
Now I am not telling you that you HAVE TO brave uninviting temperatures, but I am telling you to strap on your sneakers at least.
The other day, Whitney (of to Live and Diet in LA and Dude Food) threw a deck of cards at me and said, "lets play".
As I grabbed a mug of hot tea and an over-sized sweater (my Gin-playing uniform)… Whitney simply looked at me with a WTF face and then chucked a pair of Puma FormLite XT Ultra Women's Training Shoes at me.
Thank goodness those shoes are as light as air, or else I might have gotten a bloody nose!
After putting on some workout armor (Puma Tech Performance Long Tank and Puma Tech Performance Slim 3/4 Pants to be exact)…
Whitney took me to the park with that deck of cards in tow.
Hmmm? Are we going to play Bridge with some of the older gentlemen at the park?
BOY WAS I WRONG… This is what we wound up doing….
While Whitney and I went outside to play this "game," that doesn't mean you cannot play it in the comfort of your own home, either by yourself or with friends!
Don't worry if you don't have a deck of cards in your house (yep, I am trying to make sure you don't come up with ANY excuses), a deck of any game will do! And you know what? I am PRETTY SURE there is an APP for playing cards too.
I have to say, the clothing Puma supplied me with was pretty snazzy!
The electric colors made me feel "electric"… Minus my spill in the video!
The shirt was extremely light weight (albeit, a little big), which I love. I REALLY ABHOR shirts that hug every nook and cranny of me (leave that to studly gentlemen!).
The pants too were really comfortable. They didn't make my legs look like pork sausages! They were just the right amount of tight, to make my booty look phenomenal (however, I do think my pair are a tad too big as well).
As for the FormLite Sneakers… Lite in their name is an understatement. These sneakers should be named NakedFootForm because it felt like I didn't have anything on.
I guess I too no longer have any excuses NOT to break free from my ELLIPTICAL TRAINER CARDIO ROUTINE and it's ALL thanks to both Puma and Whitney!

- Do you think I should dress up as THE DECK OF DEATH for Halloween?

The woman only thing really works.
My local range has Woman only shooting nights and they are very well attended.
I wonder what they use for targets?
This is a discussion on Wife Said Yes! within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; My wife has always been like alot of other wives-wants nothing to do with firearms. Ok if I do, but she never wanted to see ...
My wife has always been like alot of other wives-wants nothing to do with firearms. Ok if I do, but she never wanted to see them. She knew I was a "gun guy" when we met, so she doesn't have a problem that way.
Last week, she got persuaded to go to a womans' only day at the club I am a member of. Our good friends dad was organizing the class, and struck a deal with his daughter, that she had to come to pay back for some grandchild babysitting. The daughter and my wife are good friends, so my wife went so she didn't have to go by herself. good friend right. well, one more friends ended up going from our circle of friends making three total. I didn't not push this subject, and didn't want her to think I was making her go. I have asked her to go to the range many times before, but never pushed.
So..the three went on Saturday, and loved it. they had basic firearm safety instruction in the morning, had lunch, handled various firearms in the afternoon,and then went the ranges...shotgun, pistol and rifle. all .22 caliber with a 20 gauge shotgun for trap.
They had a great time, and I think the woman's only thing really helped. She got a certificate, and brought her first target home. She talked about it some that night, and after we put the kids to bed, she asked if I would take her to the range tomorrow!! ALERT....DING DING...DING.... I couldn't believe it! I stayed composed, told her I would love to. She then asked to see some of the guns, and figure out what we would shoot...(at first I thought it was a trick to get into the gun room...lol, but she was really interested in all of them.)
We went to the range and shot for about 2 hours and had a great time. That night, when we got home after the kids were in bed again, she asked about CCW and what it took to obtain it. She didn't say she wanted one, but she asked, and that is a great step. I really don't know what to do from here, but to ask her to go to the range again....any comments ????

Gun control is hitting what you aim at
Good for her!
I wouldn't try to push her by change my normal patterns regarding shooting. Just wait until your next regular range session and ask her if she wants to go - making sure to already have a baby sitter lined up, just in case.
Have you got a gun or two that's suitable for her? Maybe a .22 or something with little recoil? One that will help her build confidence without breaking her wrist?
Maybe she & her friend(s) can attend another ladies day? You might offer up front to take care of the kids for any day she wants to go to the range with the girls so she'll feel more free to go.
And you might point out that, if she wants her own gun, it'll mean she gets to go shopping
Ahhh - more good news in the lady shooting camp - love it
The CCW should follow - all being well and when she is ready.

I wouldn't push, next time you go to the range just ask her if she wants to go. My wife is the same way your was, she doesn't mind if I do but she isn't interested.

See if there are any woman shooting groups near you.

Don't ever try to figure out a woman!!
We took the Ruger MarkII .22 pistol to the range and she lit up the steel popper targets with it. almost 300 rounds....all i did was load magazines and pull the rope to reset the targets!!!
she then wanted to try other pistols. so we moved to a ruger 9mm p89, then to the p97 .45acp, which is the home defense pistol. she liked both and handled both ok. she then wanted to shoot my other love, my kimber ultra carry, as she has seen me carry it for almost 2years now. she also shot the 642, and the keltec 380. Then we went to the rifle range where we tore through another 200 rounds iin the 10/22 ruger and then a .17HMR....
she is a real good shot, and I hope I can keep her interest in it. One of the other ladies she went with really wants to go shoot. so maybe we can do a couples thing, as my wife doesn't want to go to the range without me yet.....

I love the womens only concept, I wished that more ranges would do that (and more women getting their NRA instructors cert. so they can do this).
Women, I have seen, don't like to be in classes with the men and I guess the intimidation factor keeps alot of them away.
Just like women love (well, most of them) to go to the mall together, have luncheans together, etc.. this appeals to their "group" instincts (or something like that).
Good for your range, your wife and yourself. Once that one big hurdle is passed it should be all downhill from now on (downhill as in getting easier).
My wife and one of my daughters attended a woman-only shotgun clinic last year which was sponsored by the NRA.
Man, was it great!!
The woman-only thing DOES work. Like gangbusters.
There oughtta be one in every major metro area every weekend or at least every month.
Then "our" stats would start to improve dramatically. The antis would be furthered de-fanged. Women (I think) are a major portion of their base. Women who have never been around guns and whose only contact with them are from watching crimes on TV and an on the news, that is.....
And men who have problems that I would just as soon not speculate on in such a public and decent place....
I've learned that it also helps to start early. I introduced all three of my kids to firearms when they were young. Only my son was very interested, so we did a bit of shooting and hunting over the years.
All three of them, both daughters and my son, went into the Army, and in part had the courage to do that because they didn't have fear about having to train with firearms. I digress a bit here, but I'm proud.
So, now I have a 10 year old granddaughter that I'll soon take to the range. I even bought some nice little reactive steel targets, since youngsters (including me!) find them to be more fun than paper. As with my kids, she'll just sit at the bench, look through the scope, shoot, and then get that wide-eyed look that no video game can produce. You're a shooter, you know what I mean.
Anyway, we need to work with wives (husbands too), sons and daughters, introducing them all to the joys of shooting. And, the younger we start, the better.
It's been a lifelong love for me, first introduced when my Dad started me off with my Daisy...

Security vendors launched new products at the RSA Conference, which was attended by thousands of security professionals, international security consultants and vendors.
RSA Security, which manages the show now in its tenth year, grabbed the limelight early in the week to announce a new line of its BSafe public-key infrastructure (PKI) development tool kits. Scott Schnell, RSA's senior vice president of marketing, detailed three new RSA tool kits, BSafe IPSec-C, BSafe Crypto-J 3.2, and BSafe Cert-C.
BSafe IPSec-C is a tool kit available for license to software developers for building IP Security (IPSec) based software that uses Internet Key Exchange for digital certificate management. According to Schnell, the tool kit is suitable for building IPSec-based security into encrypted converged services for IP-based voice, data and video.
The BSafe Crypto-J 3.2 tool kit is an upgrade to RSA's Java PKI tool kit, and it adds XML signing in Java, Schnell said. The third tool kit, BSafe Cert-C, uses the Online Certificate Status Protocol for obtaining real-time feedback of the validity of digital certificates.
At the conference, Ericsson announced it is standardizing on the RSA BSafe tool kits across its entire line of wireless phones and handheld devices. In addition, Matsushita will be using the BSafe Secure Sockets Layer libraries in its iMode phones, Schnell said.
The RSA Conference held its morning technical presentation sessions at the Sony Metreon theaters -- where security experts could be seen munching on popcorn -- but the main keynotes were at the Moscone Center next door. Unlike past years, the keynote presentations had a decidedly conservative flair, with plenty of praise given to the new Republican administration in Washington.
In his keynote, economist Paul Erdman lambasted Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan for raising interest rates too quickly and giving the high-tech Internet economy a heartburn. But Erdman generally had praise for the Bush Administration, as did a second keynoter, Floyd Kvamme, the Kleiner Perkins venture capital partner named this month as a top advisor to the president on high-tech issues.
Kvamme said he supported the Bush administration's push for school vouchers, which he said he believed would help better prepare students. "The sad fact is that 22% of the adult population in America is functionally illiterate," Kvamme said during his keynote speech. "In America, we are good at shopping, though. Given the choice of shopping in education, we'd be good at it. The president believes parents should be empowered to do something about it."
Kvamme also voiced support for the Bush tax-cut plan, which earned him a mixture of cheers and boos from the audience listening at RSA.
Jim Bidzos, formerly the head of RSA and a member of the board, also delivered a short keynote. He said although strong encryption had been a source of conflict with the federal government in the past, it appeared that the battle over issues such as restrictions on crypto export controls had largely been won in favor of the private sector.
"We feel we've won that battle now," Bidzos said. He noted it was a milestone for the U.S. government last year to have selected a crypto algorithm called Rijndael. Developed in Europe as the next-generation "Advanced Encryption Standard" encryption algorithm, Rijndael replaced the oldder Digital Encryption Standard.
Security vendors using the RSA show as a platform for new products included:
JetForm, which will submit its FormFlow 99 XML-based forms applications suite for certification to work with RSA's Keon software, so users can digitally sign JetForm e-Forms with RSA digital certificates.
This story, "Vendors use packed RSA show to launch products" was originally published by Network World.
