Cruz Takes Obamacare Fight To The Floor
This is the week that the long-building fight by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) to defund Obamacare comes to a head, as the U.S. Senate takes up a House-passed bill that funds all government functions through December but strips funding for the health care law. The so-called "continuing resolution" bill must pass both chambers of Congress by the end of the month in order to avoid a government shutdown on Oct. 1. It's a high stakes risk-reward game with Cruz at the center of it all. Last week, Sen. Cruz reiterated his determination to see this battle through. "As Churchill said, we will fight on the beaches, we will fight on the streets, we will fight at every step to stop the biggest job killer in America," he told Fox News.
That fight is about to get nasty. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has said any bill without Obamacare funding is "dead on arrival" in the Senate, and the White House has threatened a Presidential veto even if any defunding bill were to pass. That has prompted Cruz to threaten a filibuster if Reid tries to add Obamacare funding back in and bring the bill up for a vote. Only nine months into his Senate career, Cruz has become the face of one of the biggest political issues in decades--the Obamacare fight. "This might be his most high-profile fight yet," says Rachel Van Dongen, Congressional Editor for POLITICO. "He's not only ruffling feathers with Democrats, he's ruffling feathers with Republicans, and it's not even clear if the Republican leadership in the Senate supports what he's doing."
Von Dongen tells KTRH she can't recall any freshman senator who's arrived on the scene in Washington like Cruz. "It's extremely rare, I mean you didn't even see Hillary Clinton when she came to the Senate make this big of a splash." Indeed, whether for positive or negative reasons, the junior senator from Texas has everyone's attention in Washington these days. All of that attention could either help or hurt Cruz's future ambitions like a run for the presidency. Van Dongen says that's why this Obamacare fight may have even bigger meaning for Sen. Cruz. "This could actually be a pretty telling week for Ted Cruz's national ambitions," she says. "People are saying look, does he know what he's doing or is this too big a gamble and something maybe where he's in a little bit over his head?"

Harness bar came in today from Cipher Auto! Looks great and very strong and sturdy. Hopefully installation goes well and fitment is nice. Contemplating powder coating it white to match the other white interior pieces. I think that'll look real good! Seats should be here next week along with brackets and NRG harnesses and harness pads.
As for the car, hopefully next week. This is taking way longer then I expected.
Here's a few pics of the harness bar.

It's been awhile since I posted (just lurking here and there) but wanted to share the news now that things are settled down in the house. Ava is nearly two (two this Tuesday!) and we brought in a 5 month old GSD three weeks ago. My neighbor down the street rehomed him with us. I don't think he realized how much work and attention the GSDs need. I promised that the pup would get plenty of love, exercise and attention.
Got a nice routine set up and going through (AGAIN!) all the puppy socialization, training and positive real world experiences. Plus breaking bad habits he picked up in his prior home like counter surfing and excessive barking. Enough talk. Welcome Denzel! Here are pics. Threw in some of Ava too! :)
What a cute pair :D
Thanks Shade!

text: Posted May 11, 2014 Signing Al was a very short term move with a low ceiling, pretty much a 1 & done 7th/8th seed with Jefferson and Kemba here. Team will also pretty much have to be rebuilt in two seasons. I'm buying every part of the post except this one. I think it is premised on Big Al dropping off because of his age. But he isn't athletic at all and will be pretty much playing the same style of ball in 3-4 years that he is now. The hornets ceiling is somewhere around the 4th seed. That's conditioned on either upgrading the point (management isn't going to do that) or finding a second scoring option, which seems feasible. With plenty of cap space and a young core, the hornets are going to go as far as their PG play will allow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Transgender Repeal Will Not Be on November's Ballot
You won't see a referendum on your November ballot to overturn California's law giving transgender students the right to use public school restrooms and locker rooms of their choice.
The secretary of state says there aren't enough signatures to get a repeal measure in front of the votes because less than 488,000 signatures on petitions turned in were valid.
The backers of the effort to overturn the transgender law needed about 505,000 signatures.
Jeana Gleason with the referendum group says the fight is not over.
"It just doesn't make sense to be allowing boys and girls to be sharing private facilities like restrooms," she said.
The law they want to get off the books took effect at the beginning of the year.
It guarantees students in grades K-12 the right to use the school facilities and to participate in the sex-segregated activities that correspond with their expressed genders.
If the referendum had qualified, the law would have been put on hold until after the election.

NG prices regaining its footing on warm weather
Although the spot Nat Gas contract made a pass at the lower range support level in overnight trading the market has since reversed and is now higher on the session after failing to remain below the technical support level of $3.415/mmbtu. With the tropics completely uneventful and the nuclear power sector running at relatively normal levels the only upside price driver for the Nat Gas market will be the weather as the tail end of the summer evolves.
The latest NOAA six to ten day and eight to fourteen day forecasts remain supportive for weather related Nat Gas consumption over the next several weeks. A late summer heat wave is evolving across the majority of the US. This weather pattern is now expected to be in play starting this week and lasting until the first week of September… at least. About 80 percent of the country will be impacted by the projected above normal temperatures.
The current temperature projections are suggesting that the call on Nat Gas for power generation to meet potential cooling demand should be above normal for the next several weeks and thus should have a negative impact on the weekly inventory injections. Weekly inventory injections have consistently been above last year's injection level since the middle of April thus narrowing the huge deficit gap that formed during the winter heating season. The deficit gap versus last year has recovered from about 800 BCF in April to around 225 BCF if this week's actual data is in sync with my projection. In addition the deficit gap versus the so called normal or five year average has recovered from a shortfall of around 120 BCF to a surplus of almost 60 BCF if this week's actual data is in sync with my projection.
With the current weather forecast the inventory pattern that has been in play for the last several months could be interrupted by a higher than normal call on Nat Gas for power generation. That said the summer is closer to an end than the beginning and as such the newly evolving heat wave will have a limited lifespan with the weather returning to normal and thus injections also retuning back to the over performance pattern with a considerable amount of time left before the start of the winter heating season. As it looks right now Nat Gas stocks should be ample heading into the winter and thus the upward move in prices is likely to be limited unless some other issue… like a hurricane has an impact on the supply side of the equation.
For the moment the market remains in a short term uptrend but one that could lose its momentum very quickly if the weather does not cooperate and/or if weekly inventory injections (after this week's report) do not start to underperform versus the historical timeframe.
This week the EIA will release its inventory on Thursday, August 22nd at 10:30 am. This week I am projecting an over performance of the injection level into inventory of 71 BCF. My projection for this week is shown in the following table and is based on a week that experienced mostly below normal temperatures over a major portion of the US during the report period. My projection compares to last year's net injection of 43 BCF and the normal five year net injection for the same week of 56 BCF. Bottom line the inventory deficit will narrow this week versus last year while the surplus compared to the so called more normal five year average will widen if the actual numbers are in sync with my projections. This week's net injection will be bearish when compared to the historical data.
If the actual EIA data is in line with my projections the year over year deficit will come in at about 224 BCF. The surplus versus the five year average for the same week will widen to around 58 BCF. The early market inventory projections are forming in a range of the mid 60's to high 70's with the consensus still forming.
Oil prices are drifting lower ahead of this morning's EIA oil inventory report as well as this afternoon's release of the minutes from the last US Fed FOMC meeting. Last night's API report was mixed with draws in crude oil and gasoline and a build in distillate fuel (see below for more details). The market has been retracing this week in spite of the ongoing supply issues in Libya and now in Iraq. Yesterday the strikes in Libya ratcheted up once again with violence in one of the ports and moves to head off attempts by strikers to sell oil themselves at the largest crude oil terminal according to a report by Reuters. However, the Libyan oil ministry said yesterday that two terminals are ready to resume exports. A mixed picture coming from Libya but one that is still evolving.
In Iraq a bombing stopped crude oil flow through the Iraqi to Turkey pipeline today. Two blasts halted the flow of crude oil through the pipeline due to damage to the line. Even though the market has been drifting lower this week the supply issues that have been in play since the latest upside rally started are continuing and some instances (Iraq) are intensifying. Also the ongoing conflict in Egypt and Syria is also adding support to the geopolitical risk premium that has now evolved into the price of oil…especially Brent.
An area that has not retraced this week… the Brent/WTI spread has continued to widen with a strong surge to the upside occurring during yesterday's trading session. As I have been discussing in the newsletter the spread has been in a short term widening pattern since the spread hit parity in mid-July. This pattern is likely to continue until there is a change in the supply problems in places like Libya and Iraq as well as a return to more normal operations in the North Sea which is in its maintenance program.
Further supporting the widening of the spread was a report by Genscape that the Seaway pipeline (a line from Cushing to the Gulf Coast) was shut down due to problems early yesterday morning and as of late yesterday afternoon the line remains shut. The Seaway line has been pumping between 200,000 to 300,000 bpd for the last month or so. The pipeline has started pumping again late last night.
The externals have not been supportive for oil prices this week with the US dollar Index rising while global equity markets continue to move lower. The EMI Global Equity Index lost about 0.85 percent over the last twenty four hours with the year to date loss widening to 3 percent. Seven of the ten bourses in the Index remain in positive territory for 2013 but only three are showing double digit gains… Japan, US and Paris. Brazil remains at the bottom of the list with a loss of 17.1 percent for 2013. Both equities and the direction of the US dollar have been a negative price driver for the oil markets as well as the broader commodity complex.
I am maintaining my Nat Gas view at neutral and keeping my bias at cautiously bullish on what seems to be a changing weather pattern to a more supportive short term temperature forecast. The fundamental picture could once again shift if the temperatures across the US do actually move back to large areas of warmer than normal weather as the latest NOAA forecast is currently predicting.
I am maintaining my oil view at neutral and maintaining my bias at neutral for the short term as the downside correction seems to be losing momentum once again. The strong destocking pattern of crude oil in the US Midwest may start acting as a supporting catalyst once again.
Markets are mixed heading into the US trading session as shown in the following table.

Dominick A. Chirichella

Truck Stuck
It's something you have to see to believe. A semi truck en route to Georgia was thrown off course, after getting stuck under an overpass.
"He's a trucker that had some bad luck," says Gainesville Police Department's Lt. Lonnie Scott.
52-year-old Peter Weimheimer was on his way to Goergia, when his trip came to a halt.
"We received a call from a trucker that had a load that was stuck up under the bridge,"says Scott.
Drivers on the road say they've been sitting in traffic for hours.
Traffic was backed up on Newberry Road, where it meets I-75, while workers were busy trying to unlatch the truck.
Police, Department Of Transportation workers, and the truck driver himself, experimented with different ways to un-wedge the semi.
"We had to try some different maneuvers, like letting the air out of the tires," says Scott.
More than two hours later, they found a way.
"The underpass is higher in one specific spot than the other. We measured it, we had the truck move back, re-negotiated it, and were able to get the vehicle out successfully," says Scott.
Police say the semi was carrying a piece of equipment called an evaporator, from Groveland to Georgia.
Police say the company didn't measure the bridge's lowest point correctly; AÂ mistake that the driver didn't want to talk about.
People from the truckers' company say since the overpass is slanted, it gave them an incorrect measurement.
The Department of Transportation says there is some surface damage, but the overpass is still structurally sound.
Thankfully, no one was hurt.

UTEP Falls to Florida Atlantic in Dramatic 11-Inning Contest
April 19, 2014
BOCA RATON, Fla. - Florida Atlantic's Whitley Herb singled in Lindsey Shell in the 11th inning to defeat UTEP, 4-3, in a thrilling 11-inning final game of a three-game series on Saturday at FAU Softball Stadium.
The Owls (30-21, 12-9 Conference USA) completed the weekend sweep of the Miners (15-30, 7-11).
Jordan Stovall put the Owls on the board early with a two-run triple to deep right field during the opening inning.
But the Miners took the lead with one swing of the bat in the third inning.
Samantha Alvillar reached first base on an error and Erika Arcuri singled. Orlando, Fla. native Kawehiokalani Netane went up to bat and cranked a three-run home run, on a 2-1 pitch, just past the leftfield pole to give the Miners a 3-2 lead. It was her fifth long ball of the season.
The Owls would tie the contest as Shelby Knox scored on a fielding miscue in the third.
The Miners made key defensive plays during the epic game. Netane's glove was key in the sixth inning as she accounted for all three outs. Ashley Eldridge made a great throw from right field to home that would have ended the game in the eighth inning.
Netane's high school teammate at Cypress Creek High School in Orlando pitched a solid nine innings. The Miners gathered eight hits as Eldridge went 3-for-5 and Colleen Hohman tallied a couple singles.
UTEP will conclude its home portion of the 2014 campaign against UTSA on April 26 and 27 at the Helen of Troy Softball Complex. Seniors Arcuri, Kayla Black, Hohman, Alanna Leasau and Miraya Montiel will be honored on Senior Day (April 27).

A wedding is taking place in the grounds of the Sutton Coldfield Ramada Hotel. There is a limousine; there are small children in tiny suits and there are elderly relations in the Saturday afternoon sunshine. In their midst, nursing orange juices, sit the Magic Numbers, who could look no more incongruous among the elaborate hats and morning suits if they were dressed in burkas. Famously scruffy at the best of times - journalists have variously drawn parallels with Hagrid from Harry Potter, Shaggy from Scooby Doo and, more abstractly, a pair of sheepskin slippers - they have recently been decanted from their nearby bus, and are showing distinct signs of mid-tour fatigue. Drummer Sean Gannon has crumbs of some description in his beard.
Singer Romeo Stodard has managed a pre-interview shower, which has lent his hair and beard a scarcely believable bushiness. Their respective younger sisters, melodica player and vocalist Angela and bassist Michelle, look marginally more fragrant, but no passing observer seems likely to get them mixed up with the wedding party.
Nor, it has to be said, would any passing observer be likely to get them mixed up with a rock band, at least not in 2005, a time when even the resolutely dowdy Keane have been sent to a professional stylist before being unleashed on the public. By contrast, the Magic Numbers are chubby. From the neck up, they seem to be made entirely of hair. The fact that the four of them ever got past any self-respecting record company's reception area is the source first of some serious discussion.
"I think people love the fact that we're natural. People can relate to us far more than a band that's been completely styled," says Romeo. "There's an attitude about trying to fit in, but if you don't fit in you don't fit in, so why bother trying?" "Personally," chuckles Angela, "I think we look great as a band." Her brother concurs: "I've never looked better!" As does Romeo. "I look great when I'm standing next to you guys," he manages, before dissolving into giggles.
Aside from the glorious, harmony-laden country-soul-pop hybrid that has earned them praise from Noel Gallagher, the Chemical Brothers and Nick Hornby, and has made their forthcoming album the most keenly awaited debut of the summer, dissolving into giggles is the Magic Numbers' forte. Their good humour is not merely confined to interviews. On stage, the quartet are an oasis of smiley bonhomie in a world of angsty balladeers, boggle-eyed Libertines knock-offs and post-Franz frontmen trying to do Icy Detachment. "The first time we went on stage, we'd had a really hard day beforehand, but the minute we got onstage it was like . . ." Romeo's voice trails off and he exhales happily and noisily. "I think people can see that - they respond to it as well. They see four people getting on stage and really enjoying themselves. We love our music. We love our band and I think people see that."
"You're making songs. You're getting to play them every day," adds his sister. "Why isn't every band smiling?" There is general agreement around the table - "no need not to smile", "why wouldn't you fucking smile?" - and more giggling. They giggle about everything. They giggle about the west London suburb of Hanwell - "a sort of joke of an area" - where the Stodards and the Gannons met, and all but Angela still live. (At 27 and 22, the Stodards live with their presumably enormously understanding parents.) "It's actually very cool," nods Romeo. "Charlie Chaplin went to school there. Jimi Hendrix bought his first amplifier when he moved to London in a shop that's still there, and the guy who invented the umbrella lived in Hanwell." They giggle about the unlikelihood of having two sets of siblings in a band. "Most people think we're two married couples," huffs Michelle. "The other night in Brighton, a guy asked me where my wedding ring was. I thought he was trying to pick me up. Why are you asking about my wedding ring?" They giggle at the unlikely memory of two of London's most respected label bosses, Rough Trade's Geoff Travis and Jeff Barrett of Heavenly - to whom they later signed - getting into an unseemly tussle in the front row of one of their London shows. "They were both at the front, trying to elbow each other out of the way, like, 'It's my band!' 'No, it's my band!'" says Michelle.
They even giggle about the unfortunate circumstances that forced Romeo and Michelle's parents to flee Trinidad - where their mother was an opera singer with her own TV variety show - when the two were teenagers, first to New York, then to London. "We moved around a lot because our family is really unorthodox and they got bored easily," asserts Romeo, before his sister quietly jogs his memory: "There was that military coup as well."
"Yeah," he smiles. "There was that. Muslims took over Trinidad and there was a curfew. My parents got bored of that pretty quickly, going to bed at seven o'clock. You couldn't leave the house or else you'd get shot. Prior to that, they'd always had intentions of leaving, but turning on the TV and seeing the same newsreader I'd seen from being really young, sort of presenting almost with a gun to her head, that was a bit much, heh heh heh!"
His laughter is drowned out by the arrival of a wedding-related bagpiper. As is the bagpiper's wont, he begins making a vile and interminable din. Not even this can darken the Magic Numbers' sunny mood. "I'm enjoying it, actually," shouts Sean over the ghastly skirling, but then the Magic Numbers have a great deal to be happy about. A few days previously, they played the Forum in London, a venue with a capacity of more than 2,000. It is some feat for a band who have yet to release a proper single: their debut, Hymn to Her, was limited to 500 copies.
At first glance, the Magic Numbers' progress looks like another example of a "firework career" in which music business and press collude in hyping a band way beyond their league. The difference with the Magic Numbers is that their press file is surprisingly slim. Their appearance probably mitigated against them being splashed over front covers and the style magazines, and, they think, initially frightened off every record company boss other than the pugilistic heads of Heavenly and Rough Trade. "Record companies would sort of get it but sort of wouldn't get it. They liked the music, but some of them were a bit scared," says Romeo. "We were just happy to have one guy come up to us and say, right, I'll put one record out in one shop."
Instead, they built up a devoted following by touring for two years before they signed a record deal. By the time they played London's Barfly Club last year, interested onlookers were startled to see their audience singing along, en masse and word perfect, to songs that, as Romeo points out, "there's no way they could know other than from coming to see us live".
"The show sold out, which we couldn't believe," he says. "It was our first ever headlining show. It was as if everybody felt that because it was our show, they could let go a bit and they all started singing. It's kind of ideal the way it's worked out. Even before we signed a record deal, we felt we had something. We were playing these shows. We had a following, and that's why the record company got interested. People kept telling them they had to go and see this band."
Perhaps understandably, given their early support, the Magic Numbers are big on the slightly hippyish but undoubtedly sweet notion of their fans as a kind of extended family. "I think the people who came to the first shows think they're going through something with us," says Romeo. "They're a part of the journey as well. People tell us that when we speak to them after the show: 'It's so good to see people enjoying themselves on stage. I really feel like part of your band.' Well, you are part of our band."
"The thing is, in this band, there's no pretence. You can be who you want to be," adds Sean. "I think that's quite rare. Even when you're around your best friends, you're different than you are around your family. You're still not quite yourself."
There's a moment of silence - in the distance, our kilt-clad friend has mercifully decided to give it a rest - broken by Angela. "Actually, it's not like that at all. You've just caught us on a good day," she says, as the table dissolves into giggles once more.
· The Magic Numbers' Forever Lost is out on Heavenly on Monday. Their eponymous LP is out on June 13

Looking for worthy causes to help during this holiday season? Right up there with the best is your local abortion fund. These funds provide money for low-income women to obtain abortions. In the first few years after Roe v. Wade, Medicaid paid for over 1/3 of the abortions in this country. Then, in 1976, Congress passed the first Hyde Amendment, which severely restricted federal funding of abortions. Now, almost none are paid for with federal funds, so poor women must choose between the basic necessities of life and required medical care — precisely the choice Medicaid was established to prevent people from making.
The National Network of Abortion Funds has a 30 Years is Enough campaign. Repealing the Hyde Amendment is probably not very politically feasible right now, but you can help by donating to your local abortion fund, findable here.

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
An anonymous donor recently gave a generous amount of money to renovate the Con Robinson sound studio in the lower library. Music department chair Miriam Gibby had been actively pursuing avenues to update the dormant studio, which had become storage space during the last five years.
Studio management recently changed from the Information Services Department to the music department. Mrs. Gibby said she hopes the studio will be ready for use by early December 2003.
Art Thompson, studio manager, will be installing and wiring the new digital equipment. The renovated studio will house a computer-based workstation, 24-track digital recorder and a stand-alone CD mastering unit. Mr. Thompson estimates the cost of the improvements at about $24,000.
The new studio will be top-notch, rivaling even commercial studios. When the room is finished, a full-volume rock back can record without disrupting anyone in the library. The studio is sound proofed by triple isolated walls, a floating floor and sand-filled doors that weigh 1,000 pounds each.
Although the cost of recording is extremely expensive, Mrs. Gibby said the renovated studio will offer excellent recordings at a fraction of the cost. This will allow
the MBC Choir and Destiny groups to produce high quality recordings and possibly allow individual students and bands to record their music as the program expands.
The new studio is a boost for the music department. "I'm excited about the prospect of giving students hands on training in sound production, recording techniques and engineering," Mrs. Gibby said.
The studio was active for years and was used for recording the radio programs that went out from Multnomah. From 1994-1997 the Choir and Destiny Ensemble used the studio to record.

If judges find in favour of the commission, the member states will be forced to change their national data protection legislation so that it reflects EU standards.
The countries are accused of failing to comply with the Data Protection Directive, which aims to "ensure both a high level of protection for the privacy of individuals in all member states and the free movement of personal data within the European Union".
The directive also establishes rules to "ensure that personal data is only transferred to countries outside the EU when its continued protection is guaranteed".
A commission report said that citizens in these countries have the right to force their governments to follow the EU rules via applications to national courts.
The report also warned, "Individuals suffering damage as a result of a member state's failure to implement the directive are in some cases entitled to seek compensation before national courts."
It added that the directive was important because it fosters consumer confidence and minimises differences between member states' data protection rules, this in turn facilitates the development of electronic commerce.

In today's world of constrained budgets, zero-downtime, virtualized environments, and unabated data growth, most organizations are challenged by their ability to manage, safeguard and restore data. This business brief, from market intelligence firm IDC, explains the impact the new Quest® NetVault® Extended Architecture (XA) will have on those challenges.
Written by Robert Amatruda, Research Director of Data Protection and Recovery, this brief highlights key features of NetVault XA, and explains how they can help organizations recover the services that are critical to a particular line of business.
These include the ability to:
Align backup and recovery to an organization's service continuity needs
Organize, schedule, view and manage backups based on specific IT services or objectives
Set specific recovery time and recovery point objectives for each backup, no matter where the servers reside
Provide role-based views of data and applications

wowowowowowowowowowowowow slow down with all this info.
First off get a cobb ap, that crap wont void your warranty, not if you dont tell what you did to the service guys. Why? let me tell you why
Your ecu have a thing call the CID or CEV or whatever the hell its called. It is there so that if you ever mess with the ECU, they can tell if you have mess with it. because you have mess with it, the series of numbers will change, thus they know, because all cas that are build are assigned to a specific number, just like your vin.
Now, here is the deal, argue with me all you want but its the truth, ive seen it, with my own eyes. When they read your ecu that number should have numeric and alphabet in there. ie 4d99eff94 as such. Since you are using open source, when you flash that with an open source and tatix cable and computer, you will void your warranty because it will show up to the tech guy as ########, which means its been eff with by open source.
Now the cobb ap. The reason why it cost 600 hamburgers is because they spend a lot of time reverse engineer that crap so you may use it and wont mess up your CIV or CED or whatever they call the series of number that is assigned to your ECU. With that said, when you install your cobb ap, it said saving data. that means its saving your CIV and you can revert to that later when you hit uninstall. Now, you can back up all your data that has been save on that cobb ap via computer. So when you install it, it will assigned a new CIV to your ECU but still save your old stock OEM CIV to the Cobb AP. So when you uninstall, the cobb will flash black your stock map.
cliff notes:
Open source - denial of warranty because you flash a different map and it will show ECU CIV as ########
Cobb AP - save your OEM map and CIV so you may unistall and AP will reinstall your orginal CIV on your ECU
Big difference between 85 bucks cable, vs a 600 bucks reverse engineer AP
As far that the OP who said oh the head technitian told me so.... lol why do you think he told you that? so you wouldnt go home and flash that Cobb ap you just bought. He is a senoir tech because he love his job and he doesnt want to work harder trying to figure out if you flash cobb or not. If i was him, i would tell you the same thing, even though i know its wrong.
Oh, and where do i get my source? the subaru dealership tech, the same friend who ive been effing around with since we were in grade school ....
So trust me, because i trust brent, my good old bromance friend. NO homo, plus he is married so

What to do about S-10 Project
I have a big decision to make about an S-10 project.
Truck is a 1988 S-10 short box, RWD, standard cab and the origional 2.5L engine went out on it. I decided to throw a Chevy V8 into it. Origionally it started with just putting a V8 engine into it but as projects go, I tore it down farther and farther. I even took off the cab to replace the cab mounts.
I started this project 2-3 years ago, last year I didn't have any time to work on it.
This year (because I work in landscaping business) it would be great to have a truck that I could actually use day to day in the summer.
I am wondering if I should keep the 88 s-10 or go with a newer 94-97 S-10
It is a hard decision to make right now and I am looking for opinions
I bought the V8 chevy with 350 trans
Motor mounts
Radiator from the corvette
Lowered suspension (bell tech 2" drop spindles and 3" lowered leaves) plus new springs for the front
Rebuilt the front suspension
However it still needs a lot of work done to it.
It has rust holes in the corners of the cab and the fenders are not in good shape. There is also a dent on the box. It needs body work over all
needs break lines
I don't have the custom drive shaft made for it.
All the electrical stuff is riped out of it
So there is still work to be done to it.
I am wondering if it would be worth just buying an extended cab truck so it would be more usable and more comfortable...
What I am thinking of doing is just pulling all the parts (V8 and other swap stuff) out and later put them into the newer S-10 when I have the chance.
I don't know though. I like the older style S-10 and I put work into it but it still needs more work. Plus it will still be a Short box and cab
New S-10 would be more workable because I could start using it and do the Swap in the winter time...
What do you people think? I will answer any question to help make the choice easier.
Its sometimes hard to get back into a project. When you look at the big picture it looks like a lot of work and there just doesn't seem time to do it. If you need a truck now then I think I would get one that runs and fix it up later but if you have an attachment to the truck you have now then that could come back on you.
I had a chance to buy a newer Fiero with a motor swap done. The only thing that didn't work on the new one was the AC. But I have an attachment to the one I have now and just work on it when I can. Now if I need a car to go to work it would have been gone.
My car is still a work in progress but thats why I got it. I don't need it for work. I actually have another that I'm working on right now and a third that I drive to work. I think I may have some brain damage or something lol I cant quit buying cars.
Well kind of made the decision to part out the truck and find a newer truck. I looked on ebay and chevy S-10s are a dime a dosen and cheap with V8 swaps. I need a small running truck right now more then I need a project veicle. I will probably keep all the S-10 swap parts plus the V8 and trans and when I have time swap them into the new 1996 S-10. It looks just as easy to do as a 1988. I can probably find one fairly rust free as well. Looking budget wise also, it will be cheaper in the long run. That was kind of the decision maker. I budget it out to see how much more it will take to get the truck running at it will take another 2000-3000 more plus time getting the body restored... maybe not worth it...
I just read the "new project? get organized" thread. Good thread! I should have followed it more
I was going on the project for 2 years then the timing belt went on my Eclipse and I had to pull the engine, replace the head and it took all summer. Now it is kind of hard to look at the S-10
So out of curiosity will any of the suspension parts that I bought for an 88 s-10 work in a 1996 S-10? Or should I part them off?
I also have the problem of buying too many cars and having too many project cars...
1993 Eclipse GS DD
1990 Eclipse GSX Sporty drag
I need a truck, 4 cars are way too much plus my dad want me to help him fix up a 1967 Oldsmobile 442 and a 1955 chevy truck. I think that would be worth my time to fix up rather then the S-10.
Hindsight is 20/20. For anyone else wanting to do this V8 into an S-10 swap, go to www.v8s10.org All the information you'll need for the swap is there. A 350 engine/TH350 trans with a 9" tailshaft and the right engine mounts from JTR, it's a simple weekend swap with no driveshaft cutting.
buy a newer s-10 to drive and drive it, work on your older s-10 when you get time and when it's done, sell the newer one that is unmolested. The unmolested truck will probably be worth more in stock form anyways and this way you get to keep the truck you like more in the long run. I think if you try to drive the new one, then do a v8 swap again, you may end up in the exact same position.

Dr. Robert Berkowitz, Lorain County, Ohio's only orthopedic spine surgeon, specializes in treating conditions involving the neck and back—especially patients who have symptoms in their arms and legs as a result of spine conditions.
Statistics show that about one in four people with back pain is suffering from a herniated disc. Your spinal discs are essentially shock absorbers between the vertebrae in your neck and back. When one of these discs ruptures and its filling starts to leak, it can lead to chronic pain, not only in your back, but radiating down your arms or legs.
Dr. Robert Berkowitz answers questions about herniated discs
What is a herniated disc?
"A herniated disc—also known as a slipped, ruptured or prolapsed disc—is a rupturing of the tissue that separates the vertebral bones in your spine. This occurs when the outer layer of the disc, or annulus, ruptures, allowing the crabmeat-like filling or nucleus of the disc to leak out.
"If the disc is not pressing on a nerve, you might have pain in your neck or back. But often, the disc filling impinges on sensitive nerves in the neck or back, causing pain, weakness or numbness that can radiate down your arms or legs. When the disc's filling irritates the sciatic nerve that runs down the back of the leg, the condition is known as sciatica."
How do you diagnose a herniated disc?
"Sometimes the symptoms of a herniated disc are hard to distinguish from those of other back problems. That's why I will give you a head-to-toe, complete musculo-skeletal, neurologic exam.
"I'll also ask you questions about your pain—when it started, what makes it feel worse, what makes it feel better, whether you have numbness, pain or tingling down your arms or legs. I'll want to know whether you've had this problem before—and if so, which types of treatment you had and how well they worked for you.
"Then we'll use imaging—X-rays and possibly an MRI. I'll review your images and come up with a diagnosis and treatment plan."
How do you typically treat a herniated disc?
"I will do everything I can to try to treat your condition non-surgically. Almost always, my recommendation is a non-operative treatment plan involving physical therapy, injections, chiropractic care, acupuncture and other non-surgical treatments to try before considering surgery. Most people get better with the non-operative treatment plan.
"If non-surgical treatments don't work for you and you need surgery, you can be assured I will use the latest operative techniques and technology to help you."
Can a herniated disc get better without surgery?
"Yes. Without treatment, 90% of herniated discs get better over the course of two years. What we're trying to do with chiropractic care, acupuncture, or injections or even physical therapy is to try to buy time, which might help the body fix the problem without surgery. These conservative treatments can help make you comfortable while the body is healing itself."
So why operate on a herniated disc?
"We operate on herniated discs when patients are in excruciating pain and can't wait two years for the body to heal itself. They have terrible, burning, searing pain down their arm or leg, and they want to get back to work. These patients are not willing to wait a year or two, so we operate on them and take the pain away immediately.
"I tell my patients, 'You might be one of the 90% whose herniated disc heals by itself in two years—or you could be one of the other 10%. So if we wait two years and you're not any better and still need surgery, we will have wasted two years of your life.'"
Can a herniated disc lead to more serious problems?
"Yes. In extremely rare cases, the ruptured disc filing can squeeze a bundle of nerve roots at the base of the spine. When this happens—resulting in a condition known as cauda equina syndrome—patients may experience bowel and bladder problems as well as a loss of sensation in the lower pelvic area and legs. Surgery is necessary to relieve cauda equina syndrome in an effort to regain normal nerve function."
What kind of neck disc surgery do you perform?
"I perform two neck disc procedures. They're both essentially the same surgery—the difference is what we're putting in the disc space.
- The conventional operation is called an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. This procedure puts a new piece of bone in the space where the disc used to be and fuses that level of the spine.
- Neck disc replacement surgery is a state-of-the-art procedure that puts a new, artificial disc in to replace the damaged disc. There is no need for spinal fusion with this surgery, which helps preserve the range of motion in your neck.
"Everything else about the two procedures is identical."
What kind of back disc surgery do you perform?
"I perform microdiscectomy—a state-of-the-art, minimally invasive surgical technique to alleviate the symptoms of a herniated disc."
How is a microdiscetomy performed?
"When a patient has a herniated disc, microdiscectomy takes away a small portion of the lamina—the bone that covers the back of the spinal canal. This allows us to get down to the disc and remove the part that's herniated. After a microdiscectomy, patients typically experience rapid relief of their arm or leg symptoms."
How fast is the recovery from a microdiscectomy?
"Each patient's recovery is unique and depends on a number of factors. The typical person with a sedentary job can expect to return to work a week or two after microdiscetomy. If you have a more active profession, you will probably need more time off work."

Pelvic organ prolapse is often caused or made worse by labor and vaginal delivery, so you may want to delay surgical repair until you have finished having children.
Surgical repair may relieve some, but not all, of the problems caused by a cystocele or urethrocele. If pelvic pain, low back pain, or pain with intercourse is present before surgery, the pain may still occur after surgery. Symptoms of urinary incontinence or retention may return or get worse following surgery.
You can control many of the activities that may have contributed to your cystocele or urethrocele or made it worse. After surgery:

Same-sex weddings on Navy bases under review
By David Alexander
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Military lawyers are reviewing whether to permit same-sex marriages on Navy bases -- and allowing chaplains to officiate -- once a ban on gays serving openly in the armed forces is lifted, a Pentagon spokesman said on Wednesday.
The review comes after Rear Admiral M.L. Tidd, the chief Navy chaplain, on Tuesday abruptly suspended a memorandum he issued last month that would have eventually opened the door to same sex weddings or civil unions on Navy bases in states where it is legal.
The memo prompted a letter to Navy Secretary Ray Mabus from 63 Republican congressmen who questioned whether it would violate a 1996 federal law -- the Defense of Marriage Act -- which defines "marriage" as a legal union between one man and one woman.
"Offering up federal facilities and federal employees for same-sex marriages violates DOMA, which is still the law of the land and binds our military, including chaplains," the letter said.
"The administration and various states may be operating as if DOMA doesn't exist, but the Navy and Marine Corps and all the armed services are sworn to obey the law, which this new instruction violates," it said.
Col. David Lapan, a Pentagon spokesman, said news coverage of Tidd's memo and the subsequent letter from Republican lawmakers had prompted a discussion between Defense Department and Navy attorneys that led to a decision to review the issue.
"That memo itself raised questions about policy and legal implications that require further review," Lapan said. "So that's why the memo was suspended, until that review can be conducted."
It was unclear how the Navy review would affect the Army and other branches of the U.S. armed services. Continued...

Situation Update: Locust Crisis in Madagascar - 25 September 2013
Tags: MADAGASCAR, SOUTHERN AFRICA, MADAGASCAR LOCUST CRISIS, LOCUST, 1ST LOCUST CAMPAIGN, SITUATION REPORT,
Sep 2013
During the past few weeks, prevailing southwesterly winds and vegetation drying-‐out favored the movement of swarms from the outbreak area (southwest of Madagascar) towards the western and northeastern parts of the invasion area.
More reports of swarms as well as damage to young plants of rice and maize were reported from Maintirano, Tsiroanomandidy, Soavinandriana and Faratsiho areas. In addition, some non-‐gregarious locust populations already matured, and egg-‐laying started in the central part of the outbreak area (Ranohira and Vavalovo).

Imagine that you're a wayward adventurer, someone like John Wesley Powell in 1869, and you're traveling down a mysterious and foreboding river. You know what'd be kind of nice? A map.
Even nicer, especially for us city slickers, would be a simplified map showing the whole river system, tributaries, forks, and all. That way, you know exactly which stop to disembark from your trusty raft.
Fortunately for us, Daniel P. Huffman, a cartographer at University of Wisconsin-Madison, has created a series of such maps. Done in the classic style of transit maps, his maps feature Northern California rivers, New England rivers, Columbia River, Colorado River, and even the mighty Mississippi.

"Abilify / Xanax / Ativan"
drawing by Bryan Lewis Saunders
"10mg Adderall"
drawing by Bryan Lewis Saunders
Bryan Lewis Saunders, a poet and performance artist, created a series of self-portraits while under the influence of various drugs. The resulting drawings are often impressive and sometimes insightful in how particular drugs can affect one's mind.
Saunders explains further on his website:
After experiencing drastic changes in my environment, I looked for other experiences that might profoundly affect my perception of the self. So I devised another experiment where everyday I took a different drug and drew myself under the influence. Within weeks I became lethargic and suffered mild brain damage. I am still conducting this experiment but over greater lapses of time. I only take drugs that are given to me.
Even more impressive, is that Saunders has been doing a self-portrait of himself every day since March 30th, 1995.
At present I have over 7,900 of them. Like fingerprints, snowflakes and DNA they are all different, no two are the same. For hundreds of years, artists have been putting themselves into representations of the world around them. I am doing the exact opposite. I put the world around me into representations of myself as I find this more true to my Central Nervous System. All Self-Portraits are size 8 1/2″ x 11″ and in hardbound books.
Dinosaurcity interviewed Saunders about his project earlier this week and asked him how he started doing self-portraits while on drugs.
While Brandon and I were hiking one day he asked me, "Whatever happened with that documentary you were going to make with the veterans and the loonies?"
And I told him how everything had happened so fast with the tragedies and how I thought the people would be really interesting to document, but in fact they were all on drugs, suffering in solitude, some too obese to physically leave their apartment, and for many it was all they could do to get out of their recliners 3 times a day. And I told him how when I first moved in, a paraplegic in a wheelchair showed me an encyclopedia of pills and said he could find at least one of every kind of pill in that book in the building and that book was huge!
When Brandon and I got to NY, I unknowingly became very dehydrated and started hallucinating and had a psychotic break and ditched him at a monastery because I thought he was trying to poison me. I took the greyhound straight back to Tennessee where I had an epiphany. I thought not only am I going to draw myself everyday, I'm going to do a different drug everyday, after all there was one of everything in the building…
And that was when I officially started the project.
The entire interview is a pretty fascinating read and an interesting look into the mind of great artist.

Before being dismantled in 1993, Kowloon Walled City was believed to contain the highest population density of humans anywhere on the planet. At only 6.5 acres (~0.01 square miles) in size, over 33,000 residents were thought to live within its walls. For comparison, San Francisco's Moscone Center West, where Apple famously holds its WWDC keynotes every year, is only ~4.5 acres in size.
Kowloon Walled City had a complicated history. It was initially founded as a Chinese military fort during the mid 1600's. The fort itself was located on Hong Kong Island and was ceded to the British in 1898. After World War II, squatters begin to occupy the fort and build new settlements. After failing to prevent further habitation and construction, both British and Chinese officials turned a blind eye to its existence. Eventually, sanitary conditions and subpar standards of living forced the British and Chinese governments to evict its residents and begin demolishing the city in 1993. Today, Kowloon Walled City Park occupies the original site of the city.
There exists a 1989 German documentary of the Walled City. It's available on YouTube in 4 parts, see: 1, 2, 3, and 4. Part 1 embedded below:
For an idea of how dense the population of Kowloon Walled City was and how it compares to other cities in the world, Wikipedia has lists featuring the highest population densities in the United States and highest population densities in the world.
Gutenberg, New Jersey is the densest United States town, with 56,000 people per square mile. Marine Division in Mumbai, India is currently the densest human inhabitance on earth, with ~300,000 people per square mile. Kowloon Walled City had a population density of 3.3 million people per square mile! Insane!
The images of the Walled City and its seemingly random and haphazard construction remind me of the haunting photos of Battleship Island, which we've previously written about.

Blue Bottle? Ritual Roasters? Four Barrel? Sightglass? Just the mere mention of these names can cause hearts to flutter, blood to boil, and even a case of the shakes (all of which can probably be attributed to a severe case of caffeine addiction).
Killing My Lobster, a San Francisco based sketch comedy group, takes a interesting and hilarious look at the great Coffee Wars of San Francisco in a way that would make Ken Burns proud.
As for me, I prefer the Blue Bottle, even though Leonard Hollis ("the oldest and most crotchety living San Franciscan") claims it "costs more than the goddamn crack!"

A Ride Into Morning: The Story of Tempe Wick
by Ann Rinaldi
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book was an amazing story which tied history into a moving story that I couldn't put down! The story follows a teenage girl who gets sent to live with her cousin, Tempe Wick and her family. The character of Mary was easy to relate to and she had to change her life and adapt to when she came to live with the Wicks and had the entire American army living on their land. The author is very skilled with sticking with the authenticity of life in the 1770's but was able to turn a historical event into a thrilling story. Through this story, you see Mary transition from a girl into a young woman and fall in love. The story, along with other stories by this author, are very good!
An interesting story with lots of historical detail. I wasn't familiar with Tempe Wick and her role in the Revolutionary War until I read this. Her character wasn't exactly likable, but considering what she was going through I suppose that's understandable.
I have to say Ann Rinaldi has alot of talent and is now my favorite author ever! This book is very good to read and is a very romantic teen novel. It is about a 21 year old girl named Tempe and her dad Henry had just died so she had to take care of her ill mother and the farm by herself. Meanwhile her cousin(Mary) was sent to Tempe's house because all of her faimly other than her brother is agaist Patriot's. So the whole story is about the two girls intill Tempe's lunitic brother came along and started to talk to Mary. He told her about Tempe meeting with a britshguy named Bowzar that was planning on taking Tempe's horse and planning muntiny. Tempe wouldn't talk to her brother Henry so Mary planned a meeting with Tempe and Henry .I guess I love this book so much I am kind've ruining it for you new readers..... I won't say anymore exept READ THIS BOOK OR YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As the whispers get louder, the soldiers get bolder. Mutiny is imminent. And Tempe faces a gut-wrenching decision: Should she join the revolt?
Ann Rinaldi's dramatic story is based on the legend of America's Tempe Wick.

Battalions of 1st Signal Brigade conduct 'fiber university' training
Battalions of 1st Signal Brigade conduct 'fiber university' training
CAMP HUMPHREYS, South Korea -- The 36th Signal Battalion and 304th Expeditionary Signal Battalion of the 1st Signal Brigade conducted joint fiber optics training at Camp Humphreys, South Korea July 8-11.
A small group of Soldiers from both battalions participated in a variety of courses and training exercises revolved around familiarization, hands-on experience and understanding of fiber optics communications; a backbone in the communications networks in South Korea.
Staff Sgt. Christopher S. Rutley, the noncommissioned officer in charge for outside plans, 501st Signal Company, 36th Signal Battalion, 1st Signal Brigade, was the main instructor for the fiber university. Rutley said, "When I first got here, we heard about some people doing the fiber optics training and fiber university, so the commander and I wanted to keep that tradition going and now we try to do it quarterly."
The fiber optics training allows Soldiers to refresh themselves with concepts and troubleshooting of fiber optics communication cables. Rutley said throughout the week of training, Soldiers learned how to troubleshoot fiber optics, understand the differences between multimode and single mode characteristics and become familiar with the different types of connectors.
"We use our test equipment for the fiber optics to service an outage, fix it and then test it again to make sure it is 100 percent ready to go," Rutley explained. "Using the proper equipment, safety guidelines and quality assurance techniques are things we go over during the training so they know how to properly ground and secure when they actually get out there working."
Pvt. Hepuaona Lani Keali'i Kane Sellers, a cable system installer and maintainer, Charlie Company, 304th ESB, 1st Signal Brigade, participated in the training and said that the basics of fiber optics were covered during the fiber university. "We go over what fiber optics is, different wavelength types, how fiber optics works, the different types of cables we use, safety practices and how and why we use manholes," Sellers said.
Throughout Camp Humphreys, miles of fiber optic communication cables run beneath the streets and surface. "We use manholes so that it will be easier for us to get communications from one place to another," Sellers explained, "so when we do have to work on them it won't be affecting traffic or anything, because we are underground."
Pfc. Brent Massey, a nodal network operator and maintainer, Charlie Company, 304th ESB, 1st Signal Brigade, got the chance to expand his knowledge of the Signal world by participating in the fiber optics training. "This training has been a great opportunity for me," Massey said. "It's important for someone like me to learn this material and training in case we ever run across a problem with fiber optics, I will be familiar with it. I've enjoyed this training and look forward to other cross training opportunities with the instructors from the other battalion, because they are very knowledgeable and helpful."
With a combined total of 35-years of experience, Rutley and his NCO team provided their young Soldiers with knowledge and information during the fiber university training to help make them better at their jobs. "It is good to keep their minds fresh, especially with the tactical Soldiers," Rutley said. "I am teaching them things they don't get to see every day and I am proud to say that. The Soldiers have been very good and I am having a good time teaching them; that's what I do as an NCO."
