Mayhem # 1585679
About MeMy Name Is Ailani J. Ka'pua, and I've been in love with photography since I was little.
I know that my skills as a photographer are still amateur, and I have a lot to learn, but I'm only 19 so I've got enough time on my hands to perfect my mistakes and progress in this field. I hope to learn as much as I can, from other photographers and models on this site.
Please feel free to give me any tips and critiques as you feel fit, it will all be much appreciated.
"Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams."
Beauty has inspired me in my career as a photographer, because there is beauty in everything. One person might look at a flower and only see the bugs that crawl amongst it, whereas someone will notice the way the petals are formed, or the way it sways in the wind. The thing about beauty, is that no one opinion is right, just as no one opinion is wrong . . Beauty is always changing, and everyone looks at things a different way. What you might find as hidious, someone else might find as extravagant.

In this calendar of walks and reflections the distinguished naturalist John Lister-Kaye urges us to live in the world rather than be distracted by the doomed comforts of over-consumption. It's hard to imagine anyone disagreeing, but you'd have to admit they do – lots of them. They do so deliberately or by thoughtless reflex, wholly or in part, for reasons including sentiment, stupidity, greed and cynicism. And the behaviour of many who agree with Lister-Kaye is often inconsistent with their principles. He seems to reckon without the effects of that allegedly disgraced term "ideology", whereby people treat artificially created conditions as natural and inevitable. Cars, to take one grim example, feel "natural" to many people, not just knuckle-dragging petrolheads.
Lister-Kaye is a Darwinian, for whom life is a ceaseless competition to survive – to take and retain power – and among the creatures he describes with such power and beautiful exactitude his favourites are predators such as the wildcat: "The club tail, blunt as an aubergine, far thicker at the tip than a fox's brush, is black-ringed to a tip dipped in Indian ink . . . The white whiskers flare. The mad metamorphic eyes coldly fire." A book wholly of this order would be a treasure. His favoured activity is solitary walking and observing, and he has managed to arrange a crowded life so that indispensable solitude is just beyond the study door, beside the loch he owns on the eastern slopes of the Scottish Highlands.
He is clearly a man of principle, but his immediate world is very different from one occupied by the long-term unemployed on a sink estate in Hull or in small towns in northern Scotland. In the afterword, stung by accusations of privilege, he states: "As with any situation in life, it ultimately boils down to what you make of it and how determined you are to stick at things when the going gets tough."
That, comrades, is the leonine roar of the unwitting ideologue – one, moreover, who growls at the clumsiness of democracy and thinks Something Must Be Done about overpopulation. Something Will Be Done: the third world poor will be allowed to go on dying while their environment is degraded until their plight becomes irremediable, by which time the developed world will be a series of competing fortresses fighting over fuel and water.
Matters become farcical when Lister-Kaye recommends business solutions to political problems: "In the business and commercial world . . . when the cause of a serious problem is known and understood and those in charge continue to ignore it, blindly pressing on towards damage and destruction, it is condemned as professional negligence and people act quickly to remove those responsible and put in place the necessary remedial policies." Eh? The world itself is a business now, run by petrochemical companies, mining, agribusiness, pharma and the banks, all of which display carelessness, incompetence and cynicism. Though Lister-Kaye attempts a global view, his reading of the human sphere is parochial.
Given his passionate seriousness, you might imagine him throwing up his hands in frustration at these quibbles. Surely the reader can see what he means. But there's a difference between what he means and what he ends up saying. "Competition never sleeps; it is built into the very spiral of the DNA double helix. Like love and hate, it is built-in, a part of us all." This might suit the kind of television programme whose evaluative vocabulary ends at "fantastic" and "incredible", but it won't do for the kind of argument-cum-meditation Lister-Kaye is engaged in. For "love and hate" read reproduction and competition. If those underlying terms are what Lister-Kaye really means, then he should say so.
You can't simply use "love" as an add-on to a deterministic scientific world-view any more than you can use "hate", another emotion requiring nurture and intention to come into its own: these are characteristics that accompany consciousness, which is exactly what we don't share with the animals Lister-Kaye so admires. His longing to surrender a sophisticated self in favour of the animals' natural fit with their environment, to stop thinking and simply be present, would make no sense to a wildcat. Nor would the sheep and deer he resents for replacing older Highland fauna be concerned that they are beneficiaries of environmental damage by early farmers who cleared the forest and killed the bears and wolves.
In this sense, there may be no nature to go back to. Indeed, Lister-Kaye suggests as much when summarising the ecological history of the Highlands, without being quite able to accept the separation enforced by consciousness. He seems to oppose the pathetic fallacy while indulging it (slow worms are described as dreaming, for example). Above all, though, nature doesn't care whether you're on its side. And perhaps what makes the piety of some environmentalism so annoying is the sense of being addressed by someone who thinks they're a member of a club that doesn't actually exist.
It may be such an unworthy but recognisable response that animates the exemplary 'orrible teenager Sammy, encountered by Lister-Kaye on a school visit. She can't be made to care about the fate of the planet, having biological problems of her own to contend with. She, too, is a product of her environment: why should she be any smarter than the men who sell the world?

re windage trays
Edit: For some reason my new posts to the thread do not seem to be showing up. Yes, Crane states this -- I checked before posting. It is under 1. A) at cranecams.com/?show=faq&id=1
A constructive solution might be to add the often seen OEM oil ejector slots on rod faces that are aimed at the thrust surfaces of the piston bores. The oil ejected from these slots would include the cam in their upper quadrant sweep. This is an extremely simple mod to do.
Windage control devices help keep the oil running cooler and in a way that dedicated oil coolers do not. This is certainly critical in cooling the camshaft efficiently.
Once the energy from the rotating assembly is transferred to the oil by hitting it or moving it the oil rises in temp. That is energy that is lost forever to make your engine perform better. It is also allowing the exact opposite of the dual (lubrication/cooling) function of oil.
Windage trays are meant to prevent this sort of parasitic loss from oil splashing onto the crank and to shield the sump oil from windage effects. Many trays have scraper louvers built into them that strip away oil from the windage cloud. The louvers also help disrupt the pressure differential that forms around the spinning crank (the differential allows the windage cloud to form). Disrupting the pressure differential allows more oil -- not less -- to be directly and immediately ejected in the upper two quadrants where the SBC camshaft sits -- thereby cooling and lubricating it. This oil would otherwise be drawn into the cloud. The windage tray operates in the lower two quadrants of crank rotation. The windage cloud is self-renewing from oil ejected from the mains, rods and draining down from the lifter valley and heads.
It is a common misperception that a windage cloud will not form because of a windage tray and that a windage cloud comes primarily from splashing oil in the sump. The latter might be true during abrupt manuevers but during steady driving a windage cloud will form with or without a tray in place. It will increase in oil entrainment as a function of rpm because of the higher pressure differential formed. To increase oil entrainment volume it will simply capture a larger amount of ejected and draining oil before reaching equilibrium.
Once the oil has absorbed heat from the camshaft and lifter it needs to be removed as quickly and efficiently as possible so that new, fresh -- and cooler -- oil can take its place. Just like the water cooling system in a car -- circulation is needed.
If still additional oil flow is needed to cool the lobes or lifters then dedicated passages or devices need to be devised to do so. This is just like using oil to cool the underside of pistons in turbo or highly tuned NA engines. In those applications windage trays are typically seen more often rather than subtracted as the tech tip logic would dictate.
Windage control helps keep sump oil temps down as mentioned in the beginning but running a dedicated oil cooler will help keep oil that is moving through the galleys -- then to the cam and lifters -- cooler. An oil cooler, though, cannot give back the energy lost when it rejects it to the atmosphere -- as windage control devices can by preventing the energy loss/transference in the first place. Both cooling approaches are valuable.
Also the "do not use a windage tray" advice contraindicates any sort of dry sump system as it removes much more oil from the crankcase and more quickly as well. Think about it.
I think the cams are clearly pushing the limits of the materials and design of the components and many plausible sounding things are being thrown out in an effort to lengthen that life. This advice, though, appears to be a step backwards.

April 1, 2014
As the 2014 Masters fast approaches, former Tennessee golfer Garrick Porteous will have one final tune up before hitting the Augusta National course.
Porteous, the 2013 British Amateur Champion, will face off against Matt Fitzpatrick in the 2014 Georgia Cup on April 1-2.
The Georgia Cup is one of the most unique amateur golf events in America. Taking place in Alpharetta, Ga., this 18-hole match-play championship between the reigning United States and British Amateur Champions is played the week before the Masters on The Golf Club of Georgia's award-winning Lakeside Course.
Fitzpatrick defeated Tennessee sophomore Oliver Goss to win the 2013 U.S. Amateur Championship. By finishing runner-up at the U.S. Amateur, Goss earned an invitation to the 2014 Masters.
Although historical information is incomplete, it is believed that Goss and Porteous will be the first amateur duo to compete in the Masters from the same university.
The Georgia Cup debuted in 1998. The Amateur Champions often spend the week at The Golf Club of Georgia with their families preparing for the first major tournament of the men's professional season... The Masters.
The Georgia Cup benefits The GSGA Foundation and the Folds of Honor Foundation.

"Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the men of old; seek what they sought." -- Matsuo Basho
Strong Growth at Cisco
Internet networking giant Cisco Systems (Nasdaq: CSCO) reported fiscal second quarter results after the bell yesterday, posting earnings of $0.36 a share (before charges) compared with last year's $0.29. That was a penny ahead of the First Call analysts' mean estimate. Including the effect of merger-related write-offs of in-process R&D (research and development), Cisco netted $0.17 a share during the quarter. Revenues increased 40% to $2.83 billion, the highest growth in seven quarters.
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cisco President and CEO John Chambers said the company can continue to grow 30% to 50% a year for at least the next three years. The company launched 13 new products during its fiscal second quarter, more than any previous quarter and equal to the number the company usually introduces in an entire year. Sales to telecommunications companies, which rose more than 50% from the year before, offset slowing corporate sales.
During Cisco's Q2 conference call, the company said it had a good balance across all of its lines of business with each reporting year-over-year bookings growth in excess of 30%. About 73% of its sales are now done over the Internet. In the next 12 to 18 months, Cisco said its biggest concerns involve global economics, competition and industry consolidation, government regulation of the Internet, and the Year 2000 problem. (The company doesn't expect any huge problems resulting from Y2K and has no plans to change its operating strategy. However, it anticipates slightly lower expenditures by corporate customers as they spend more to the address Y2K.)

Ending our Healthy Holiday Recipes series is a fresh twist to a Southern favorite dish served for the New Year. It would be wrong to say, we don't enjoy traditionally stewed black-eyed peas with ham, smoked turkey or vegetables. In addition, if fresh ingredients are used, the traditional recipe is still a healthy dish.
In this version, black-eye peas are used as a salad with pearl barley for a light side dish to support a main dish, such as glazed hams, roast turkeys, seared duck breasts or tofu. Enjoy with breakfast with Sauté Collard Greens and a cheese omelet. The taste is similar to a rice pilaf, for pearl barley is cooked the same way as brown rice. Both black-eye peas and pearl barley's origins are in West Africa.
Eating black-eye peas on New Year's Day is a symbol of prosperity and good luck for the rest of the year. When paired with collard greens—the symbol of money—it's the gastronomic rule of black-eye peas to bring in the New Year's.

text: This is an attempt to provide a physical description of the Tap-O-Cap die. I apologize for the crude artwork, and I regret that I cannot provide more precise measurements with the equipment at my disposal. I am hoping that with a little luck, this might be good enough for a skilled machinist to fabricate a working copy of the Tap-O-Cap. Note - all dimensions are in inches. The Tap-O-Cap die consists of two major components - for lack of better terminology, I will refer to them as the cylinder (left) and the piston (right) - The Cylinder is all-steel construction, closed at one end. A 0.157-inch diameter steel rod is mounted (apparently pressed) into the closed end. A thin slot is cut into the side of the cylinder, immediately forward of the steel rod. This slot is cut most of the way through the cylinder's diameter. The next photo shows a paper card inserted into this slot. The piston is all-steel construction. It consists of a hollow shaft with a knob screwed onto one end, and a set of teeth on the other end (vaguely resembling a hole saw). At the base of the teeth, the inner diameter of the shaft is 0.31 inches. This tapers down to a 0.21-inch constriction, and then opens up again to 0.245 inner diameter. There are 12 teeth, arranged in six pairs. The pairs are separated by pronounced notches. Evidently this arrangement enables the die to fold thin sheet aluminum into #11 caps - the skirts of the caps might be described as hexagonal in cross-section.

It's no secret traditional news organizations are struggling to stay relevant today in an age where an always-connected generation has little use for newspaper subscriptions and nightly news programs. The Associated Press (AP), the world's oldest and largest news cooperative, is one such organization who has felt the threats which this paradigm shift carries and thus the need to intensify its innovation efforts. However, like many organizations today, its in-house IT Ops and business processes weren't versatile enough for the kind of innovation needed.
"The business had identified a lot of new opportunities we just weren't able to pursue because our traditional syndication services couldn't support them," said Alan Wintroub, director of development, enterprise application services at the AP, "but the bottom line is that we can't afford not to try this."
To make AP easily accessible for emerging Internet services, social networks, and mobile applications, the nearly 164-year-old news syndicate needed to provide new means of integration that let these customers serve themselves and do more with the content — mash it up with other content, repackage it, reformat it, slice it up, and deliver it in ways AP never could think of — or certainly never originally intended.

A startup, who wishes to remain anonymous, is delivering an innovative new business service from an IaaS cloud and most of the time pays next to nothing to do this. This isn't a story about pennies per virtual server per hour - sure they take advantage of that- but more a nuance of cloud optimization any enterprise can follow: reverse capacity planning.
Most of us are familiar with the black art of capacity planning. You take an application, simulate load against it, trying to approximate the amount of traffic it will face in production, then provision the resources to accommodate this load. With web applications we tend to capacity plan against expected peak, which is very hard to estimate - even if historical data exists. You capacity plan to peak because you don't want to be overloaded and cause the client to wait, error out, or go to your competition for your service.

The only illustrated book officially published with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, The Appalachian Trail explores this legendary footpath in detail: with a foreword by Bill Bryson and filled with more than 300 spectacular contemporary images, as well as unpublished historical photos, documents, and maps from the ATC archives. Once inspired by this wonderful celebration of the A.T., readers can plan their own hike using the removable and full-size copy of the official National Park Service's map of the entire Appalachian Trail included inside each book. In celebration of the Appalachian Trail's seventy-fifth anniversary, this official book documents in text and photos the history, beauty, and significance of America's most iconic hiking trail. With fascinating essays on topics ranging from the trail's history to the day-by-day hiking experience, this book is perfect for anyone interested in conservation, outdoor recreation, or American history, and for all those who dream of one day becoming thru-hikers themselves. Completed in 1937 by a small cadre of volunteers, the Appalachian Trail spans fourteen states, from Maine to Georgia, and is more than 2,000 miles long. Now, seventy-five years after its completion, the A.T. remains America's premier hiking trail and is known as "the people's path." Visitors from all over the world are drawn to the trail for a variety of reasons, whether to reconnect with nature and see its beauty and wildlife, or to challenge oneself--for two miles or 2,000. Out of three million annual visitors, almost 2,000 attempt each year to earn the distinction of "thru-hiker" by walking all five million footsteps in one continuous journey.

Hi my name is kenny, I'm new to the performance engine area of things hopefully you guys can help me out.
Hi Kenny, welcome to HR.
Attention getting handle....:evil:....:D
Heh its actually a joke from when i was younger.
Guess I'll give you guys some back ground.
I'm 22 (am I allowed to say younger yet?)
I'm more of a camaro guy vs mustang. Granted I'll give ford credit on those. Except their trucks. I hate working on their trucks.
I currently have a 1980 camaro I'm rebuilding. I'm on my first rebuild. Going to post a thread shortly with what I'm looking at.
I'm somewhat of a nerd so this will explain a bit about the next thing.
I'm a facts and figures type of person. You tell me a different intake/head/piston/whatever will make more power. I like to know why. Example: Like going with a thinner head gasket. Well obviously it will slightly raise compression ratio very little (i don't think I care about a .1 higher cr) but also the quench benefit is definitely a helpful response. Not to sound like an *** but its my money.
I realize theory doesn't always=reality but i've found its pretty damn close.
My favorite food is potatoes. I really like potatoes.
I also like a good steak.

Question concerning Win 8

There is no way I will upgrade my old desktop with a non-touch screen monitor to Windows 8.
I'm no fan of the way Microsoft has rolled out the touch interface in Windows 8, but that shouldn't stop you from using it with a desktop monitor. With a small tweak you can have it always start up in classic desktop mode and continue to use it with your mouse and keyboard just as you do today.
You are right, but I was just saying if you were using it the way Microsoft intended and without any work around I find it not very practical to use the interface if you can't reach the screen without constantly changing your position or sitting closer then you would like.
We have an Ipad and yes that works ok, But it's at arms reach.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX rises as energy shares jump with oil
(Adds details on specific stocks, updates prices)
* TSX up 115.16 points, or 0.78 percent, at 14,825.98
* All of the TSX's 10 main groups move higher
TORONTO, Sept 22 (Reuters) - Energy stocks led a broad rally on Canada's main stock index on Thursday as oil prices jumped and investors digested the U.S. Federal Reserve's more cautious approach to future rate hikes.
With 12 gainers for every decliner, the index was testing an early September peak that, if breached, would push it to its highest since June 2015.
At 10:08 a.m. EDT (1408 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index was up 115.16 points, or 0.78 percent, at 14,825.98. All 10 sectors gained.
The energy group climbed 1.9 percent on the coattails of the rise in oil prices. Some of the country's biggest energy producers were among the most influential gainers, with Canadian Natural Resources rising 2.9 percent to C$40.45 and Suncor Energy Inc up 1.5 percent to C$34.90.
Oil rose 2 percent and was headed for its largest weekly gain in a month, after a surprisingly large drop in U.S. crude inventories emboldened investors ahead of next week's meeting between OPEC members and Russia to discuss supply.
The Russian energy minister's comments in support of coordinated action boosted oil further. Continued...

Nissan to Trim Work Force in Tennessee
Nashville-based Nissan North America said in late July it will offer $100,000 to $125,000 cash buyouts to about 6,000 employees at the company's engine plant in Decherd, Tenn., and its large assembly factory in Smyrna, Tenn. The plan is being put in place to trim the Japanese automaker's work force by about 1,200 workers in the Volunteer State. Nissan official Fred Standish described the move as not being a layoff, saying, "We have never laid off anybody in Smyrna and we don't intend to now." The Smyrna plant, Nissan's largest in North America, has been in operation for more than 20 years. The cuts do not affect the company's Canton, Miss. plant. With truck sales dropping significantly, Nissan will also eliminate a second shift on its Smyrna pickup truck assembly line.
ArvinMeritor Expanding in North Carolina
In the early summer, ArvinMeritor announced it is expanding its Scotland an Henderson County facilities.

Korean Supplier Creating 350 Jobs in Columbus, Ga.
DongNam Tech announced in the summer that it is locating its first U.S. plant in Columbus, Ga., creating 350 new jobs with an investment of $29 million.

KIA Supplier Creating 50 New Jobs in Alabama
SMI Auto USA, announced on July 24 the location of its first U.S. manufacturing operation in Auburn, Ala. SMI, established in Korea, is a supplier of small stamping automotive parts used by KIA.

Glovis Announces New Facility in West Georgia
Seoul, Korea-based Glovis, will be a key logistics provider to the Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia (KMMG) facility that is being built in West Point, Ga. In the early summer quarter, Glovis announced it will build a 558,131-square-foot facility at the Kia plant site in West Point. The company will supply auto parts and provide inventory management to the KMMG vehicle assembly line. The just-in-time parts management facility is expected to house 600 workers.
New York-Based Automotive Group Relocating Headquarters to Georgia
Asbury Automotive Group, an automotive retail and service company based in New York, announced on July 31 that it is moving its headquarters to the metro Atlanta market of Duluth. The cost-cutting move will create about 70 news jobs in the Atlanta area with an average annual salary of $100,000.
Mando America Expanding in Alabama
Mando, one of Korea's largest parts suppliers, announced in mid-summer it is investing $25 million to expand its facilities in Opelika, Ala. The company produces brake and steering systems for Hyundai and KIA. Both plants are located nearby in Montgomery and West Point, Ga. In the summer of 2004, Mando relocated its North American headquarters from Detroit to Opelika. The expansion to the company's manufacturing facilities in Opelika will result in 200 new jobs to be added the the 400 already working for the company in Opelika.
South Korean Company Picks Kentucky
INFAC Corporation, a worldwide supplier of mechanical cables and electronics components for the automotive industry, announced in mid-summer it will locate a distribution and sales center in Taylor Co., Ky. The project, which will employ approximately 75 workers, will support North American original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The South Korean-based company expects to begin manufacturing emergency brake cables in the Cambellsville Industrial Park in the fourth quarter of this year.
WKW Erbsloeh N/A Opens First U.S. Plant in St. Clair County, Ala.
WKW Erbsloeh North America officially opened its new plant in Pell City, Ala., which is located in St. Clair County, east of Birmingham. The new plant will produce aluminum parts for the Mercedes-Benz assembly factory in Vance, Ala., the Volkswagen facility in Mexico and in 2009, parts for BMW in South Carolina. Obviously WKW has set its sites on serving other automakers in the Southern Auto Corridor, including Volkswagen once that plant is operational in 2011. WKW is expected to hire up to 300 new employees and will invest at least $30 million in the project.
Incentives for Supplier in Birmingham
The Birmingham, Ala., City Council approved a $4 million package of incentives for Kamtek, a division of Canadian parts supplier Magna International. Kamtek recently purchased the Birmingham operations of Ogihara America and announced shortly after the acquisition that it will infuse $300 million into the facility and hire another 400 workers to the current employee base of 280.

SateAuto Insurance Co., will create about 263 new jobs at a new sales and customer service center in Somerset, Ky. The new deal will also include a backup data center. An annnual payroll of $7.3 million is expected from the project.
Auburn University Launches Automotive Engineering Program
Auburn University has launched a new program to train engineers and management personnel for Alabama's automotive industry, the lastest effort by state educators to prepare students for critical, high-value jobs in vehicle assembly plants. Auburn is implementing an automotive industry manufacturing engineering minor, a study that teaches skills needed for upper-level and mid-level management posts in factories such as those that continue to be lured to the Southern Automotive Corridor. Auburn is already known for supporting the automotive industry. Its Center for Advanced Vehicle Electronics, or CAVE, provides research for a number of automakers. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, engineers employed at motor vehicle assembly plants earn in the range of $70,000 a year, while those on the management level take home yearly pay that tops six figures.
Huyundai Slowing U.S. Production
After reporting in the spring quarter it did not expect to slow production this year at its plant in Montgomery, Ala., Korean automaker Hyundai said it will reduce its U.S. output by 40,000 units, or about eight percent this year. Hyundai officials said in mid-summer they will cut production of the Sante Fe SUV model and raise production of the Sonata small sedan model, which it also produces in Alabama. Hyundai's plant in Alabama is the only facility where the company assembles vehicles in the U.S. Hyundai also reported in late July that it earned a net profit of $541.9 million in worldwide sales in the second quarter.
Mercedes-Benz to Decrease Output in Alabama
German automaker Mercedes-Benz announced in the summer quarter it is scaling back production at its Alabama plant by increasing the number of days it typically shuts down for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. The company will also eliminate six Friday night shifts by the end of the year. Sales of the M-Class SUV, Mercedes' most popular model made at the plant, are well ahead of last year's totals. However, the other two vehicles assembled at the Alabama facility -- the G-Class and the R-Class -- are behind last year's sales totals. The company expects no layoffs at the plant this year.
Ford Announces Retooling of Kentucky Plant at the Same Time it Announces Loses of $8 Billion in Second Quarter
Michigan-based Ford Motor Co. announced in the summer quarter it lost $8.67 billion in the second quarter of 2008. The total was the worst quarterly loss in the company's history. The company also reported it will retool three of its North American plants, including its Louisville, Ky., assembly plant, to produce six new small vehicles that are currently available in Europe, but not yet in the U.S. The Louisville plant has produced the Ford Explorer since 1990. According to Bill Russo, manufacturing manager for Ford's North American car, SUV and crossover vehicle lines, the company will have the Louisville facility retooled for small car production by mid-2010. Explorer model production is expected to be moved to an existing plant in Chicago. Ford also announced it is moving production of its Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUV models to its other plant in Louisville from a plant in Michigan. Combined, the two Kentucky plants employ about 6,000 workers.
Toyota to Build Prius Model at Mississippi Facility
When Kia announced in the late spring 2008 quarter that it would build a different model at its assembly plant being built in West Point, Ga., we described the announcement as "unprecedented." We had never heard of an automaker switching models before an assembly plant had even been completed. Now Toyota has done the same thing with its new plant going up near Tupelo, Miss. The Japanese carmaker announced in the spring that it was delaying the production date of its new SUV facility. In July, Toyota officials dropped a bomb by announcing that it will not produce the Highlander SUV model in Mississippi, but rather the hybrid Prius model. Production of the small Prius is expected to begin in late 2010. Toyota already assembles the Camry hybrid at its facility in Georgetown, Ky. The Prius will join the Camry as the only two hybrid vehicles built in the U.S. by Toyota. Toyota also announced it is moving production originally planned in Mississippi for the Highlander SUV to an existing plant in Indiana.
Toyota Suspends Truck Production in Texas
Toyota announced in the early summer it is suspending production of its Tundra pickup truck model in San Antonio for three months beginning August 8. The Tundra is the only model produced in San Antonio plant. By spring of 2009, Toyota will move all Tundra production to San Antonio. The Tundra is also made at the Japanese automaker's Princeton, Ind., plant. The Highlander SUV model, originally slated for assembly at it plant now under construction in Tupelo, Miss., will be moved to Princeton.
No Layoffs at Hino in Arkansas
Toyota subsidiary Hino Motors Manufacturing USA announced in late July that there will be no layoffs at its components plant in Marion, Ark., despite the fact that Toyota is suspending production of Tundra trucks in San Antonio the Sequoia SUV at plants outside the Southern Auto Corridor. Hino officials did say that its Marion facility will reduce parts production indefinitely and employees at the facility will work a reduced schedule. Hino manufactures, among other products, axle and suspension parts for Toyota's San Antonio facility.
Nissan Moves into New Nashville Headquarters
In early July, Nissan began moving into its new North American headquarters located in Cool Springs, Tenn., just south of Nashville. The opening of the $100 million facility marks the end of the Japanese automaker's relocation of its North American headquarters from the Los Angeles area to central Tennessee. About 1,500 employees will work at the new 10-story, 450,000-square-foot headquarters building.
U.S. Vehicle Sales Hit 10-Year Low in June
In June, 1,189,108 cars and light trucks were sold in the U.S., the lowest total in more than 10 years and 18.3 percent below June of 2007 totals. Larger vehicles such as SUVs, pickup trucks and minivans saw a significant drop in sales, with the Dodge Ram (--48%) and Ford F-Series pickup truck (--40.5%) at the top of the nuked list. Meanwhile, the Honda Accord (up 37.3 percent in sales from June 20070, Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, Chevrolet Cobalt, Ford Fusion and Hyundai Sonata brands saw healthy increases in sales in June compared to last year.

One of the great things about Bethlehem, Pennsylvania is that there is so much going on year-round. From the signature summer celebration that is Musikfest, to the lights of the Christmas City in the winter, there is an event to celebrate most seasons. In the autumn, one event you must attend if you're planning a trip to the Sayre Mansion is the Bethlehem Harvest Festival. If you're a fan of craft beer, locally made food, great music, and wine, then the Bethlehem Harvest Festival has your name all over it!
Now in its 9th year, the Bethlehem Harvest Festival is presented by the Downtown Bethlehem Association and has become a tradition for locals and visitors each October. This year's event will take place on Saturday, October 11th from 11 am until 6 pm on Main Street and until 8 pm in the Sun Inn Courtyard. The festival includes great food, wine and soup tastings, a biergarten, live entertainment, and even a pie eating contest.
Bethlehem Harvest Festival Biergarten
A key part of the festival is definitely the Biergarten. This hub of activity will be the place to find local cuisine, live music, and a variety of beer. If you're in it for the beer, then you should consider a Beer Passport, which allows you to sample 28 beers on Main Street during the day, and gives you a discount on beer at the Biergarten until closing.
Soup and Wine Tasting
Along with Beer Passports, Wine Passports are also available. Get yours stamped at the wine tastings during the day. If you're a soup fan, there will be a soup tasting and contest featuring soups from downtown restaurants. Try them all and vote for your favorite!
Pie Eating Contest
What would any festival be without a pie eating contest? The Bethlehem Harvest Festival's pie eating contest gives 10 lucky festival-goers the chance to eat some of the most delicious pie in the Lehigh Valley while competing to see who can finish one off the quickest! Of course, standard pie eating contest rules apply: no hands and your pie has to be completely gone, naturally!
Music at the Harvest Festival
Live music will keep things hopping throughout the day at the Bethlehem Harvest Festival. Two stages (one in the Biergarten and one on Main Street) will feature local favorites bringing out their best stuff. So bring your dancing shoes, it's sure to be entertaining!
When planning your visit to the Bethlehem Harvest Festival, a stay at a local Bethlehem boutique hotel will enhance your experience. The Sayre Mansion has elegant yet comfortable guest rooms that will make you feel at home and luxurious amenities that will pamper you. One of the biggest benefits of staying at Sayre is our location right in the heart of Bethlehem, so no matter when you visit you'll be close to the action. Plus, our historic property is an integral part of the town's history, so you can have an authentic Bethlehem experience. And, of course, you can count on a delicious breakfast each morning of your stay, so you can head out to the Harvest Festival fully fueled and ready to fill up that beer passport!

Rihanna knew she wanted to kiss British boxer Dudley O'Shaughnessy as soon as she saw him.
The 23-year-old beauty - who has been romantically linked to Dudley after previously dating singer Chris Brown and baseball star Matt Kemp - chose the hunk to take part in her new music video for single 'We Found Love' and was smitten with him from the minute they met.
She said: "I met him and I was like let's f***ing kiss and ... you know what I mean. We had to pretend how to fake f**k."
Rihanna wasn't the only one who was happy to film the steamy scenes for the new video, with Dudley saying: "I didn't want it to end."
Rihanna and Dudley were particularly taken with each other during the shoot with crew members revealing they were constantly flirting.
A source said: "Rihanna was making no secret that she fancied the pants off Dudley. They hit it off straight away. She had seen his modelling shots and other pictures when he was a boxer.
"Rihanna took every opportunity to get close to him and at one point she was sitting in his lap during a break from filming. She's very tactile anyway, but this was something else.
"Dudley was giggling like a schoolboy when she had to shoot a scene in a see-through top. She was teasing him with a peak of her cleavage and winking at him.
"Dudley can't believe his luck. Rihanna's girlfriends are teasing her, singing songs about her romance."

How to get rid of Wasps
– A Review on Trapstik
How do you Rate the TrapStik?
How to get rid of wasps is not a one-size-fits-all solution. The answer depends on the type of wasps, location, and situation. I have had great success removing wasps from the row of hedges along side of our swimming pool late in the summer simply by spraying them with a couple of cans of wasp spray. Other times, I was able to control wasps by hanging up a couple of Wasp Traps with Wasp Attractant around the perimeter of the yard. This summer, we had a different problem: Wasps were gaining entry into the bottom of our porch through an open hole. Dozens were coming in by the hour I tried using wasp spray and tried using wasp attractant, but none of these things seemed to make a dent in the wasp population flying in and out of the porch hole. Finally, I sprayed the hole shut with insulation foam. The wasps appeared to not be able to get anymore, but it didn't stop them from trying. The area was now a complete mess, swarming with wasps who were bound and determined to get inside the bottom of our backyard porch. Finally, I found something that appears to be working.

Dinan MZ3 S54 reprogram available
In case you haven't already heard, Dinan released a chip software upgrade today for the S54 Coupe/Roadster. Some people have already had it installed and initial impressions seem positive.
Unconfirmed info:
$399. + install
+ 200 rpm
speed limiter removed
will not void warranty
better throttle performance reported
1/4 mile runs in 1-3rd gear probable
Any improvement in 0-60 time?
Hey MZNorth -
Nice time of year in Ottawa! Any 0-60, 0-100 or 1/4 times listed?
Only a few people (myself not included) have had this done yet (starting only yesterday) so no reliable data seems to be available yet but Dinan claims 16hp boost. Some people are reportedly planning before and after dyno runs, etc., so time will tell. Initial empirical reports seem positive, however. At $400. it is not a major investment.
Personally I won't have this done for a week or two as the nearest Dinan dealer with the correct software/equipment is 4 hrs away but he will do it when passing through Ottawa, like I said, in a week or two.
It SHOULD be a nice time of year here but the weather has been wet and cooler than normal. Not conducive to top-down driving. :(
keep us informed
Good luck and hope it gives you some noticed performance improvement.
I don't think I want to go with a chip because in LA BMW CCA AutoX it would move me up to M car Modified and those guys are insane! :)
Oh, couple of more ?s
$400 Canadian dollars?
16hp - because the hp curve is virtually a straight line, by raising the rev limiter 200 rpm they should half of the 16 right there.
4 hrs. away - in Toronto?
One thing about Ottawa, once the weather turns good, you guys have nice long summer days.
One user claims redline is now at least 8000 after the upgrade
No, it's $400 USD.
Yeah, it is beutiful here in the summer.
I would check on the rev limiter
If he is up to 8000, that should get him the extra 16 to 18 hp (using the slope of the hp curve).
Is the new rev limit chosen by you the customer or preprogrammed into the chip?
If it can be chosen by you, I would read up on the S54 engine problems in the M3s and maybe think about something a little lower than 8000.
Dinan S54 Z software
Al C. and I will be going to Summerfest in Long Island, NY to have this done June 30th. $399.00 with free install.
Hi Ron,
Al called me today (about tires).
I'll want your impression of the upgrade.
Closest Dinan Dealer to me is in Ann Arbor.
Might wait until HC and have it done there...
Be seein' you soon!
Dinan power band change
As i have posted,had the down load done,Every thing that had been posted came true quicker throtle responce,More torque but me and Stygar have been run testing are cars for a few months with new differentials. And at first mine blew his away then he did the 346 then they were even in every gear at all rpm marks again.I know my car is faster then his (now) but at 4 grand in forth gear he pulls away like hell.We believe that there is more fuel or timing had been munipulated and that the something has changed causing my car to have a complete different power band,Like the RPM`S need to be around five grand in the high gears or if you just run through the gears like you would from a start position no problem but bogging rolling starts in forth or fith gear at low four grand or below his car is quiker.But index the gears to six or seven grand and it (FLY`S)Also when I blew by Ron in the mid seven grand mark he thought he saw liquid(ie)fuel may have flew up on his windshield but we could not confirm this.Ron feels that the throtle is better,And there is more power stored at the top,needing to be used.We need dyno time or some one that has access should test and post real result in a controlled atmosphere.:confused:
new rev limit?
What's the new rev limit?
Is it something that you can tell the installer or is it predetermined in the code when you buy the chip?
The limit is eight grand,But the needle reacts slower then the shut down causing some needle too over ramp for a second,Making it look like 8100 rpm`s.No you have no choices,like air box exhaust or RPM settings.
"The limit is eight grand,But the needle reacts slower then the shut down causing some needle too over ramp for a second,Making it look like 8100 rpm`s."
I doubt the needle is slow. I believe the S54 uses a 'soft' limiter which cuts back airflow to limit RPMs. From what I've read it isn't an abrupt ignition shutdown like on the earlier cars which is why you are probably getting over 8k.

There are few people who can explain philosophy and atheism better than QualiaSoup. This time, he responds to Christian apologist William Lane Craig's oft-used argument that God must exist because objective morality exists (in other words, we know what's right and wrong… and we know that because God must exist to deem it so).
QualiaSoup Discusses Moral Objectivity

- Denis Robert
Take the time to watch the video many times, and go on wikipedia and look up some of the technical terms and jargon. You'll get it in time. It's not that complex, but since WLC uses technical terminology a lot to confuse the audience and his opponents, QualiaSoup has to couch his argument using the same language so as to remove the "WLC = specialist, Opponent = non-specialist" stigma. WLC will pull terms like "Anselm's Ontological Argument", or "the Kalaam Cosmological Argument", not because these arguments are especially valid, but rather because their names are obscure enough to stifle dissent. Both are medieval arguments for God that have been utterly debunked many times and in many ways, but by using their technical terms, WLC manages to be able to still trot them out at nearly every debate mostly unchallenged, because his opponents don't know the technical names (even when they know very well the essence of the argument).
- Rich Wilson
It's not just you. A combination of the pacing of delivery (not just fast but relentless) and the vocabulary make a bit like, well, Ben Goldacre's twitter follower put it best.
I keep having to pause, digest, replay.
- Anonymous
Not stupid at all. QualiaSoup puts out pretty densly packed videos. Though I can follow most of the arguments on the first try, since he packs a whole bunch of them at a time I don't have time to "settle" each one in my mind before the start of the next one. If I were asked to repeat the arguments at the end of the video, I'd probably get it horribly muddled.
My solution is "pause" and "replay". These videos are worth watching several times, and going to Google when questions arise. Any subject can seem too hard if you up the pace enough. If I watched a video on car mechanics at the same pace as this video, I'd probably cry uncle by the second minute and have to spend the next hour on Google.

It's nice to see other atheists denying moral realism rather than trying to affirm it for mainly PR reasons.

Very good response to Craig. It really baffles me that Craig has such a fearsome reputation among atheists as a debater. He is certainly glib and polished but his arguments are often embarrassingly weak. I don't know of any non-theologian philosopher in the last few centuries who has taken Anselm's argument seriously after the most cursory examination of it. Even a contemporary of Anselm's, Gaunilo of Marmoutiers, showed the fallacy of the cosmological argument by using it to prove the existence of Atlantis. Define Atlantis as the most wonderful island that can be imagined, then Anselm's reasoning shows that it must exist.
- http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=23430830 Matthew Shepherd
He's got a rep as a good debater 'cause he's got a ton of shit to shovel in a short amount of time. Set his claims down and take them apart at your leisure, i.e. outside of a debate format, and every single one of his magical five points crumbles under scrutiny. Turns out they're just great soundbites for those already believing what he has to say, and nothing more, but when you're full of rhetorical soundbites that take longer to refute than to Gish Gallup them out, you win.
- Denis Robert
He also tends to debate people who are not trained in philosophy, and as such are often not familiar with his arguments. Once you know what his arguments are (and they are very few), it's easy to rebut him, even in debate form. Every time he's gone against someone who had properly prepared for the debate, he's lost.
- Anonymous
Yeah, his strategy is essentially to not give his opponents time to dissect all his arguments. There simply isn't time in a debate to reply to it all in detail. So he declares victory at the end.
It also works in online forum discussions as the thread will increasingly splinter into many very detail sub-arguments, while slowly losing focus of the bigger picture
- Rich Wilson
I would honestly have to say he beat Hitchens in a debate, purely on debate scoring standards. That debate was before Hitchens's diagnosis, but he may have been feeling the effects. He looked very tired. I think he was also ill-prepared. He has stated that the "fine tuning" argument is the one he thinks is best. Not saying it's good, but it's better than anything else. And that's one Craig hammer hard. Hitchens didn't even respond to a lot of things, which gave Craig default points.
Hm, since Hemant coaches a debate team (no?) it might be interesting to get his critical review, focusing on debate technique rather than the validity of the arguments.

I really enjoyed this. Don't feel bad, Larry. He did go very quickly and I'll admit there was one point where I got a bit confused. But at 17 minutes, I think he realized he was pushing the limit of people's willingness to watch if he slowed down and took more time.
- http://religiouscomics.net/ Jeff P
My short version:
Even if there is some kind of objective morality (big if), then we are nevertheless in the position to need to discover (or determine) that objective morality. Therefore the answer to the question of whether there is an objective morality doesn't help us in establishing what is good moral behavior.
Some religious people will claim that their particular holy book hands down the objective morality from God. One problem with this claim is that the cited scriptures can not be shown to be anything other than the way people at the time liked to attribute the origin of their own morality. Just because some ancient people attributed right and wrong to supernatural agents (and these attributions later became known as scriptures in the various religions) doesn't make them true. It is merely what these ancient people believed.
We are all in the position (collectively as societies and as individuals) to discover proper moral behavior. We are also greatly influenced by our biology.
- Rich Wilson
Thanks. No time to watch right now, but my first though was the reply I got from my Rep (McClintock) when I wrote about the "re-affirm the motto" thing. Seems rights come from creator, not government. I'm just happy we have "government of the people, by the people, for the people" to interpret those rights, hence we don't have the right to breed slaves (Exodus 21:7), take wives as spoils of war (Deuteronomy 21:11) and we do have the right to use reasonable force in self defense (Mathew 5:39)
- Abram Larson
WLC is a great debater in the sense that he knows all the debate tricks of the trade. He throws out many more arguments than his opponent can reasonably refute in their given time, and then declares victory when his points have not been refuted. He uses technical terms to sound like he knows more than his opponent. And he always sticks to his points and defends them to their logical conclusions. What he doesn't do is make any damn sense to anyone who takes the time to thoroughly dissect his arguments.
His biggest flaw is that instead of trying to explain his points comprehensibly, he completely focuses on winning the particular debate at hand. The best way to deal with him is to ignore him and make your own points. See Sam Harris' performance in the following debate
For full debate go here
For 10 min's of Sams best points, see this video
- Wendell Gee
I loved Sam's speeches in that debate, but it just doesn't look good to let your opponents arguments go unrebutted, especially against a pro like Craig who will call you on it every time. Unless you address the arguments for theism, theists in the audience will assume that they're sound and will have no reason to do further research on the subject or maybe even change their mind.
Shelly Kagan thoroughly dismantled Craig in a debate on morality, and didn't have to go off-topic or drop arguments in order to do so. If you agree to a debate, you should come prepared to debate. And considering that Craig has used the same five arguments for the last ten years, there's no excuse for not coming prepared.
Besides Kagan, Arif Ahmed and Austin Dacey have both (in my opinion) defeated Craig at his own game. It can be done.

Craig vs. Craig on "objective morality"
by Deacon Duncan at Evangelical Realism
- Charvakan
I never understood this argument from WLC. By his definition of objective morality – are things like genocide – including the killing of infants, slavery, asking someone to kill his child etc objectively evil? If he argues these are not objectively evil – why should we buy his valuation of what is evil? If they are objectively evil, then his god has done all of this, and hence is evil and not a source of objective morality…
- Anonymous
Craig does in fact defend genocide in the Bible:
He basically says that god isn't bound by his own allegedly objective divine morality and can do whatever he wants.
Killing children is a great thing, because they are innocent and guaranteed salvation. But wait, it gets more disgusting. He then says we shouldn't pity the Caananites for their fate, but instead the Israelite soldiers who were morally obligated to kill them, but may have been traumatized by carrying out that duty.
Do we really want such a despicable person lecture anyone on morality?
- Charvakan
Agree completely. We shouldn't give any credibility to an idiot like WLC as a worthwhile opponent to an atheistic worldview. He should be considered in the same company as say Ken Ham or Pat Robertson – as another one of the religious nutcases. I like Dawkins clear answer to why he will never debate the likes of WLC.

I'm checking to see how much interest there is for copies of my custom bucket. There seems to be enough intrest now to let the list grow a bit.
The helmets come with the top earcap, RF and post all of which are made of resin.
The helmets are made up from high end casting resin, the nice white stuff not the cheaper yellowish resin. I swear by this stuff to be as durable and lightweight as fiberglass. It will flex slightly if you were to squeeze it as well very impact resistant.
The price is $200.00 plus $28.00 S&H within North America
If you don't want the resin post and RF its $10 less.
